Hitting Home: Downsizing Weddings
08/24/09 11:28AM By Melody Bodette
| Download MP3
(Host) Summer is the busiest season for weddings in Vermont, among locals and out-of-state couples alike.
But some who make their living on these celebrations have found that weddings have changed in the middle of a recession.
As part of our series about the economy, "Hitting Home," VPR's Melody Bodette has more.
(Church Street sounds)
(Bodette) Molly Johnson steps outside the bridal store Sewly Yours and Once Upon a Bride in Burlington. The 27-year-old says she's being creative with her September 12th marriage celebration to Nick Lavecchia. She's taken a few resourceful planning avenues in addition to throwing a potluck wedding:
(Johnson) "I have friends who are making my cake, I have three friends doing the photography, the invites friends made, we're riding bikes for transport instead of renting cars..."
(Bodette) Johnson says it's not so much a response to the down economy as a desire to include people. And she says her guests seem thrilled to bring potato or pasta salad instead of a gift:
(Johnson) "People were much more willing to like the idea of making it a community feeling like weddings used to be with everyone involved families involved, instead of just coming and having to bring a blender or something didn't have an emotional attachment or connection to the wedding."
(Bodette) Johnson estimates her wedding will cost $10,000. If that seems like a lot, it's less than half of what the average Vermont couple spent on a wedding last year.
(Washburn) "Weddings are going back to the basics."
(Bodette) Krista Washburn is editor of the magazine Vermont Vows. She says do-it-yourself is in this year. So is prioritizing the budget:
(Washburn) "You and your husband are foodies, and food is really,
really important to you, you're going to work with the best caterer you can. So
spending the most amount of money on food... and maybe flowers aren't that
important so that's going to be at the end of the budget."
(Bodette) Weddings can be a big business - tents, clothes, cars, food. Nationally the average cost of a wedding was $21,000 last year, but that number is expected to drop this year.
Spending isn't falling as fast in Vermont, although spending last year dipped to $22,000 from $25,000. Washburn says that's because Vermont's hospitality businesses can tap into local couples and out-of-state couples looking for a destination wedding.
But some couples planning destination weddings are finding out-of-town guests are weighing the cost of coming to the wedding versus sending a toaster. Krista Washburn:
(Washburn) "The guest counts are down... so from the accommodations perspective, the caterers perspective, the event rental perspective... if you have 20 less people, that's 20 less plates of food."
(Bodette) That increased number of regrets has left some in the industry, who depend on a certain number of place settings, feeling pinched.
Vermont Tent Company crews are setting up one of the company's white tents for an afternoon event. Mike Lubas is director of sales.
(Lubas) "We had huge jumps in the 1990s into 2000, then it was a slow progression, but 2008 into this year was the first time we've been down in this business."
(Bodette) Lubas says business is down 25% and for the first time, they've had to lay off 7 employees. Lubas says the number of weddings isn't necessarily down, but customers are definitely seeking out cheaper options, like poly instead of silk for linen rentals.
(Lubas) "We've done a lot less of the high-ticket items, floors with carpet tent liners, chandeliers things that you don't necessarily need, but can definitely enhance your events."
(Bodette) Back at Sewly Yours and Once Upon a Bride, owner Debbie LaFramboise shortens the hem on a wedding gown.
(LaFramboise) "This is certainly probably the most drastic thing I have personally gone through as a business to see the fluctuations this year."
(Bodette) LaFramboise says months that are normally busy have been slow, and one group of customers is missing:
(LaFramboise) "For those who are really shopping budget who really have to be careful, even our $4,000 dresses that are discounted to $700 are beyond their price range, but for the girls who can and are spending, our average price and investment per bride has increased substantially."
(Bodette) Brides with money to spend are spending it - although they're choosing simpler styles and fewer expensive accessories.
(Bodette) Emily Robinson is perched in heels on a stand, for her gown fitting. She says for her September 12th wedding she wanted to do something different.
(Robinson) "I'm having a carnival, we're calling it a classy carnival, (laughs) slash, circus." (laughs)
(Bodette) Robinson works for a catering company and she's seen many people cutting costs this year, choosing cheaper options like chicken over beef. She chose a fried dough booth for her wedding, but cutting costs hasn't been a priority.
(Robinson) "I've tried to be cautious about it, and knowing that obviously it's not the best economy to have this lavish wedding... but my parents asked me if I wanted to take the cash and run away and get married and I said no."
(Bodette) Robinson says she isn't letting a recession change her plans for a once-in-a-lifetime event.
For VPR News, I'm Melody Bodette.

So I invested in a really nice water filter!!! I can tell the difference already! So now....what should I do? All the products I thought didn't work might react differently in my hair now!
lol so I dont want to have to go back through the list. Can someone chime in?
I have fine 3a hair and high porosity. Maybe suggest some products you use with soft water? It's low dews right now too. The thing I'm looking for is one or two products. I like curl creams and mousses.
My main kind of question is...would something like mag sulfate react with hard water? I got a dry tangled mess. Would it possibly be different now since the water is nice and clean?

Linda Lavin, TV's Alice, Sings Barbara Cook at Kennedy Center
Linda Lavin is a Broadway baby.
Oh, sure, she had a huge hit television series as the harried, funny, wise waitress "Alice" for nine years beginning in 1976, and she's done films and television. But her heart, her core, her voice, if you will, belongs to Broadway.
We caught up with Lavin, who's performing at the Kennedy Center in the Barbara Cook's Spotlight cabaret series at the Terrace Theater, Friday, Nov. 16, on the telephone just as she was moving.
"You'll have to excuse me, the movers are here," she said. She and husband Steve Bakunas are moving to New York after 17 years in Wilmington, N.C., where they ran the Red Barn Studio, a community theater art studio and school, happily, and left quite a stamp. She founded the Linda Lavin Arts Foundation there "to promote and foster the advancement of the performing and visual arts, with special emphasis on arts in education." She also acted and directed in many of the plays there, including a memorable production of "Driving Miss Daisy" and "As You Like It."
"It was time, but it's a little hectic," she said. "I ordered Chinese, and they're here. We have to move the piano."
Something in her voice sounds a little like Alice on a hectic day in the diner. She'll be in DC –back again after a triumphant turn in the Broadway-bound "Follies" at the Kennedy Center last year—singing. "The songs are sort of a reflection of me," she said. "There's a lot of variety there, not just Broadway show tunes, but different kind of songs, different moods, a little story-telling, love songs."
She sings the way she acts—honestly, fiercely, tenderly in a way that's unforgettable. Her gig was a hit at 54 Below, a snazzy club in New York. And she has a certain comfort zone here: Bakunas is on drums, and jazz violinist Aaron Weinstein is also in the band.
And the reason she's a Broadway baby? That's where she started, for one thing, going back to "It's a Bird … It's a Plane … It's Superman," when she sang "You've Got Possibilities." It's where she did "Broadway Bound (Tony Award)," the last part of Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy. It's where she followed Tyne Daly in "Gypsy" and belted out Mama Rose's laments and anthems. It's where she was in a revival of "Collected Stories" and collected three other Tony nominations. More recently, she starred opposite Stacey Keach in "Other Desert Cities" and the acclaimed family drama "The Lyons" by hot playwright Nicky Silver.
And of course—she sang "Broadway Baby"—in a powerful outburst of feeling and defiance in "Follies."
"Yes, I think you can safely say that theater, Broadway, that's my home, my place, where I thrive," she said. She explains the variety of characters—united by eccentricity passion and strength—by noting that there's "a lot of different women inside of me. I don't think I've heard all of them yet."
"Alice," of course, identifies her, marks her with familiarity to millions of people still. She's not complaining. "What 'Alice' did, it freed me," she said. "It made me very rich, which is not a bad thing. But I think, too, that so many women immediately recognized themselves in the role, in who she was. It was about women who struggled, the women they talked about in the election this year, who don't get paid the same as men, who get through the day. That part is always a part of me."
"It's a big deal, this move, we created something here in Wilmington, and it was all very special," she said.
Lavin, who was married twice before, has been with Bakunas, an actor, artist and musician, for a long time. They married in 2005. When it was a suggested that he might be "a keeper," she laughed an Alice laugh. "He better be," she said. "No, he's a wonderful man, a great guy."
That would be the guy playing the drums as Lavin takes the stage at the Kennedy Center.

I get the "Shirley Temple" thing aaaall the time. I hated it because of the whole "cute kid" connotation. I'm 26, darnit!
I grew up in Los Angeles, which has the world's biggest population of curl haters. Unless you're an A-list star, of cource; Then it's "BoHo Chic." But I wasn't an A-list star. so, I would get blown straight all the time by people who hadn't the foggiest idea as to how. I feel so bad for my mom knowing that she must have paid a mint for some of my haircuts only to get a daughter who looked like a poodle in return.
I eventually made her take me to SuperCuts, where there were people there with real hair. Better result, 1/4 of the price. It pays to have curly people cut your hair!
My favorite was the guy who gave me the frizz comb-over...
or maybe the 18 year old Hair Cuttery girl who blew it dry with a wide-toothed brush. I asked her to ring me up a hair clip and then put my Roseanadanna hair up in front of her. Haven't been back since.
Then there are the touchy-feely types:
"oh, I LOVE your HAIR!!!!"
*cue the 5 mintues of hair-fondling that turns it into a frizz-fest*
It's the same people that touch pregnant women they don't know without asking.
but I digress...
Most people I went to high school with didn't really care about my hair too much, but the 3-4 people that took a great, personal offense to my curls made up for it:
There was one girl who was totally BAFFLED that a lilly-white girl had curls. She never said anything bad, but she STARED at my hair constantly. She offered up some advice, which was kind of cool in retrospect, but unsolicited, bad advice is never appriciated.
One kid in JHS asked where my afro pic was... because my loose corkscrews are SOOO kinky. Idiot.
A few teachers told me that I should straighten my hair when I went on job interveiws.
My favorite backhanded compliment! "you have beautiful hair! Why don't you straighten it?" Because it's beautiful, you schmuck!
And the creme a la creme...
I was at church and there was a lady from the choir using a curling iron on her hair in the bathroom. I went over next to her to put my hair in a half ponytail when she reaches out, grabs a curl AND STRAIGHTENS A CHUNK OF MY HAIR. :x
So I had a mass of wonderful curls, except one half-straight fizzy thing right in front of my face. Thanks ever so.
wow, that was sufficiantly ADD, wasn't it?

Who Is That Masked Man?
When Ed Edmunds was in college in Greeley in 1978, he went to a costume contest and lost to a guy wearing a mask that he had painted himself. "So I thought, well, I'll just make a mask or a whole costume that'll win these costume contests," says Edmunds with a laugh. He did, and soon his penchant for creating macabre masks and, eventually, animatronics turned into Distortions Unlimited, the Greeley creepy-creature-making studio that's the subject of the Travel Channel's four-episode series,"Making Monsters," which finished airing last Sunday.
Put together by Missoula's Warm Springs Productions, the show takes audiences behind the scenes of the projects Distortions undertakes, from creating creepy set pieces for musician Alice Cooper to engineering aliens for the UFO Museum in Roswell. "People just don't know how these things are done, and they get to see what we do and how we pull that stuff off," says Edmunds. Denver artist Daniel Crosier, who draws the Distortions Unlimited comic and is featured in one of the episodes, adds, "It's a great love note to that area and the whole unique industry."
For those who missed the series when it aired, the Denver FilmCenter, 2510 East Colfax Avenue, is screening two episodes of the show free tonight at 7 p.m., hosted by Andrew Novick and featuring a Q&A with the team from Distortions. Come dressed as your favorite monster for chances to win custom wood-burning art from Crosier, a $100 Denver Pavilions gift card, and various prizes from the I Heart Denver store.

I took this photo of kids playing in the East River last weekend. They were having a blast, but eww, right? That can't be safe, can it? Am I crazy? Jolian tried to convince me that the East River is a lot cleaner now – a fact he learned on Hook, Line and Dinner. I don't know. I'm not buying it. Although, with temps supposedly reaching 100 degrees this weekend I may be throwing myself in the water too. I hope you all have a great weekend and try to stay cool! Here are some links for you:
We went and saw Safety Not Guaranteed last weekend. Highly recommend it!
These would be so cute for an ice cream party.
Do you ever listen to Marc Maron's WTF podcasts? Jolian got me hooked.
Who said shots couldn't be classy?
Love these stamps.
The perfect summer dress.
I want everything.
Unexpected kitchen detail. Beautiful.
I've got my eye on these clog sandals – the Lena A. grey ones in particular.

Articles about reggae music, reviews, interviews, reports and more...
My first trip to Jamaica was in 1979 to do a black and white documentary on the Rastafarians as a final project for a University degree in Visual Anthropology. I was in awe from my first moments off the plane. The air was so moist and hot, the land bursting with a thousand shades of green, punctuated by flame red flowers. Reggae blared out from cars swooshing by, the scent of ganja lingering behind. In the countryside I found warmth and spirituality from a people who had little material wealth.
I have been to Jamaica countless times since then, have photographed reggae artists extensively, published scores of photos in magazines, album covers, calendars, and on multiple websites, but my favorite images, the ones that whisper sweetly to my soul, are my Portraits of Rural Jamaica. The bulk of this series was shot all across the country between 1979 and 1988, but I continue to add to it with every island visit. I would encourage all of you that go to Jamaica to get beyond both the tourist resorts, which will isolate you, and the crowded city streets, which will exhaust you, and journey into the countryside, which will surely captivate you with its lush beauty and magical charm.

Jonathan Adler bowl....Pin It
This bowl (in white) was my happy surprise at a yard sale today...guess how much it cost...:) Whoever (whomever?) guesses closest has a Starbucks treat coming to them! Just post your numerical guess in the comments section...it definitely was NOT the $125 retail asking price!
...not to mention the FREE hardwood Adirondack chairs and footrests (!) on the side of the street...

Mallorie Winn enters her third season as an assistant coach on the Pitt women's basketball staff. The San Diego, Calif. native is familiar with head coach Agnus Berenato after having played at both Georgia Tech and Pitt under Berenato.
Winn arrived at Pitt from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif., where she assisted the women's basketball staff. During the 2009-10 campaign, she scouted high school games and also played a key role in game preparation and breaking down opponents.
Winn also logged time as a coach and individual trainer with the 80/20 Basketball organization, one of the longest running and most successful youth basketball organizations in California. While at 80/20 Basketball, Winn ran weekly practices of 30 or more players and also coached teams in several basketball leagues, offering instruction to boys and girls ages 7-16.
During the 2008-09 season, Winn served as the head coach at The Campus School at Carlow University in Pittsburgh. While there, she developed practice plans and coordinated team travel in addition to her coaching duties.
Winn spent two years at Georgia Tech before transferring to Pitt prior to the 2004-05 season. A standout point guard, Winn led the team in assists in both seasons and eclipsed the 1,000 point mark during her final season at Pitt. She concluded her collegiate career with 1,028 points, 812 of those scored at Pitt, and 252 assists, good for 12thall-time. An integral part of the program's rise, Winn helped spark the Panthers to three consecutive postseason appearances and a string of 20-plus victory seasons.
During the 2005-06 campaign - the first of four consecutive 20-win seasons for Pitt - Winn tallied a team-high 131 assists, scored 20 or more points in 10 games and boasted a team-high 59 three-pointers en route to earning All-Big East Second Team honors. After helping lead the Panthers to the semifinals of the WNIT, the team captain was selected to the WNIT All-Tournament Team.
Winn was heralded with Preseason First Team All-Big East honors and a Street & Smith Honorable Mention All-America nod prior to the 2006-07 season before a knee injury ended her season. Winn was a key contributor off the bench the following season, helping guide Pitt to the program's first-ever NCAA Sweet 16 appearance.
Winn's perseverance was highlighted and commended in 2008 when she earned the David Sandberg Champion Award, presented annually to the Pitt student-athlete who displays dedication to academic and athletic excellence, with an undying spirit and a passionate commitment to the improvement of the University of Pittsburgh and surrounding communities.
Winn was a four-year starter at Bishop's High in La Jolla, Calif., while playing for her father Fentriss Winn. As a senior, she averaged a team-best 16.4 points per game and led the Knights to their sixth-straight CIF-San Diego Section Division VI title and a California Division IV state title in 2001.
Winn has a pair of degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, earning a bachelor's degree in legal studies in 2007 with a minor in political science and a master's degree in human security in 2009.

A pregnant woman was stabbed by a man under a railway bridge in a random attack during the evening rush hour.
The woman, aged in her 30s, was assaulted underneath the bridge in Seven Sisters Road - by Finsbury Park tube station - at 6.30pm on Friday.
She suffered a facial injury believed to have been caused by t he knife and a shoulder injury and was treated in hospital.
The attack happened just yards from where a man aged in his 40s was stabbed shortly before 7pm yesterday.
The street where the second stabbing happened, St Thomas's Road, was sealed off with police tape for several hours last night.
Officers attended after reports of a robbery and assault, and Scotland Yard said the victim was recovering well in hospital.
Jason Malan, 32, of the Figaro News newsagent and off license next to Finsbury Park Station said: "A customer came in on Friday and said a woman had been stabbed. He seemed quite upset. I'm shocked to hear there was also another stabbing."
Another shopkeeper, who did not want to be named, said: "The area was closed and police were searching all around for a weapon, but I don't think they found one. The area is getting more dangerous."
He said he thought the woman had been waiting for a bus when she was attacked, adding: "At that time of the day you can hardly walk along the pavement because there are so many people waiting for the bus."
Detective Constable Louise Elliott, of Islington police, said: "This was an horrific, unprovoked attack on a vulnerable and heavily pregnant woman. This incident has understandably left her severely traumatised.
"I appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time and remembers seeing anything that may help the investigation, to call police in confidence on 020 7421 0297 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
A 19-year-old man has been arrested over the attack and given police bail until February 26.
There have been no arrests in connection with yesterday's stabbing.

California Powers Way To 16-9 Win Over USC
April 9, 2010
Watch the USC vs California FULL GAME
LOS ANGELES - Chad Bunting and Mitch Delfino had three hits each Friday as the California Golden Bears beat the USC Trojans, 16-9, in game one of a Pac-10 Conference series at Dedeaux Field. Delfino had two RBI while Jimmy Bosco went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI as the Golden Bears had 18 hits in the game.
California improved to 18-10 on the season with its sixth straight victory, moving to 4-3 in conference. USC is now 15-15 overall and 2-5 in Pac-10 play.
Erik Johnson picked up the win for Cal after giving up four runs in the first, but keeping the Trojans scoreless after the rough start. Johnson went 5 1/3 innings and allowed nine hits with three walks and nine strikeouts. USC starter Kevin Couture got knocked out in the third, giving up nine runs (seven earned) on nine hits in 2 1/3 innings as the Trojans committed a season-high six errors in the game.
Four other Cal starters had two hits each (Brian Guinn, Danny Oh, Mark Canha and Tony Renda). Matt Hart went 3-for-5 with one RBI while Taylor Wrenn was 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI.
After Joe De Pinto doubled and Mike O'Neill walked in the bottom of the first, Oropesa hammered a three-run homer to left center for his 11th of the season and seventh in the last 12 games. Keith Castillo added an RBI single as USC took the 4-1 lead, but the Golden Bears responded with 13 unanswered runs.
Renda and Bunting both singled to lead off the second with Bosco hitting a two-run double to right. Delfino singled and Marcus Simien hit into a double play as Bosco scored the tying run. Cal scored six runs in the third as they collected six hits with two Trojan errors leading to the 10-4 lead after the third. With the 14-4 lead in the sixth, the Trojans rallied with five in the bottom of the fifth with Wrenn clubbing his first homer as a Trojan with a three-run shot to right. Brian Diemer came in and threw two scoreless innings in relief to stave off the Trojans in the latter part of the game as Cal added two insurance runs in the ninth.
The series continues tomorrow with a 1:30 p.m. start. Sunday's series finale will start at 1 p.m. Both games will be broadcast through a live video webcast on usctrojans.com.

WE have to admit, in comparing one civilization with another, and in comparing the different stages of our own, that no one society and no one age of it realizes all the values of civilization. Not all of these values may be compatible with each other; what is at least as certain is that in realizing some we lose the appreciation of others.

Hard to top: Mazda says the MX-5 RF was developed in response to the demand for the retractable hardtop version of the previous model.
23 March 2016
By TIM NICHOLSON in NEW YORK
MAZDA has surprised fans by lifting the lid on a targa-style version of its
popular new ND-series MX-5 sportscar ahead of the sleek new variant's launch in
Australia inside the next 12 months.
Revealed at a special event on the eve of the New York motor show today, the
MX-5 RF – for retractable fastback – is the latest addition to the MX-5 range
that started its rollout in Australia last August.
Mazda says the RF variant stays true to its goal of making "open-top driving
more accessible".
It marks the first time the Japanese manufacturer has offered a fastback
version of the MX-5, with the first two generations using a detachable hard-top
and the previous NC-series offering a three-stage power retractable hard-top.
The RF has a power-operated roof that can be opened or closed at speeds up to
10km/h and maintains the same 110-litre luggage capacity as the soft-top.
The time it takes for the roof to open and close is still to be confirmed, but
Mazda said the RF achieves "one of the fastest opening/closing times of any
retractable hard-top".
While the RF will be offered in 1.5 and 2.0-litre guise in some markets,
Australia will only get the version powered by the 118kW/200Nm 2.0-litre
four-cylinder naturally aspirated SkyActiv-G engine, paired with either a
six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Specification and pricing are yet to be announced for Australia, but it is
likely to mirror the soft-top and be offered in base and GT trim, and GoAuto
understands it will carry a premium over the soft-top of between about
That should put a base manual version somewhere between $37,990-$39,490 plus
on-road costs, while a GT auto could retail from $45,050-$46,550.
The rival Toyota 86 is priced between $29,990 and $35,990 plus on-road costs,
while the related Subaru BRZ is priced between $37,150 and $38,650 driveaway.
Mazda is also yet to reveal the weight of the RF, but the additional weight of
the roof is likely to be similar to that of the hard-top version of the NC,
which added 36kg. This would bring kerb weight to about 1069kg for the new
Acceleration times and other performance measures, including fuel consumption,
have not been announced but the weight gain is likely to have had a slight
impact on the figures.
Mazda Australia marketing director Alastair Doak said the strong sales of the
previous NC retractable hard-top in the later part of its lifecycle proves
there is demand for the RF in Australia.
"There certainly was (demand) in the previous generation, obviously at the end
we were only selling hard-tops in Australia," he said in an interview with
GoAuto in New York.
"The demand was there. People like the functionality of the automatic folding
roof and I guess the added security as well if they have to park on the street,
so that became the most popular model."
Mr Doak said Mazda has gone to great lengths to differentiate the soft-top and
the RF, which was an issue with the previous MX-5.
"The design was very similar between both cars. One was a hard-top version of
the soft-top. The RF is quite different to that," he said.
"When you see the car in the metal you can see that it actually has a very
different character, a very different look and hopefully it will appeal to a
slightly different buyer as well."
Mr Doak said he did not believe the RF would dilute the simplicity of the MX-5,
adding that demand for a hard-top has not waned since the new model arrived.
"We have proven with the previous generation that it is something customers
want. We have kept weight to an absolute minimum. And the fact that it did
become our exclusive seller in the previous generation proves that it very much
fits in with where MX-5 is at," he said.
"You could argue the 1.5 manual (soft-top) is the purest expression of MX-5 and
we can't see that model being impacted by our efforts."
While the company expects solid demand for the RF in Australia, Mr Doak said
Mazda was not anticipating that it would overtake the segment-leading Toyota
86, which sold more than 3000 units last year – and more than 4000 the previous
"MX-5, given it is a pure two-seater car, that will always limit its appeal to
some degree. It is a more pure sportscar experience I think. It's just the way
it is.
"We are not really an alternative to a hatchback from a space and practicality
point of view, but we offer a very pure driving experience and the fun of an
open-top and that is what MX-5 is all about and all models will deliver that."
The RF has a coupe-like silhouette when the roof is closed and Mazda says the
side sections of the rear roof slope down towards the rear and tuck in at the
sides to create "a perfect teardrop shape for the cabin".
When the roof is opened, the overhead roof panels and rear window glass are
stowed out of sight behind the seats, giving what Mazda says is a unique look
in the segment.
There is a large acrylic aero board wind blocker that helps prevent wind
blowing back into the cabin. A sound-absorbing headliner on the inside of the
front and middle roof panels also helps improve cabin quietness.
Aside from the Porsche 911 Targa and more exotic fare such as the Lamborghini
Aventador Roadster, the MX-5 is one of very few targa-like offerings in the
sportscar segment.
The RF is 5mm higher than the soft-top but retains all of its other dimensions.
The Japanese car-maker says that when the roof is down, the result is a
"pleasing sense of freedom combined with a reassuring feeling of being wrapped
securely in the cabin".
While the cabin carries over unchanged from the soft-top, there is now an
open/close button below the air-conditioning controls and a 4.6-inch TFT colour
LCD display to the left of the speedometer with a roof lowering/raising
The RF ushers in a 'machine grey' body colour to the MX-5 range, first shown on
the new-generation CX-9 SUV. Mazda says this is the second 'premium' colour to
be slowly rolled out to its line-up, following 'soul red'.
The sides and rear of the roof match whatever body colour is chosen, while the
top of the roof is offered in piano black or the body colour.
When the hard-top is in place, the MX-5 RF "significantly improves ride
quietness and heightens the feeling of high quality", according to Mazda.
Mazda MX-5 program manager Nobuhiro Yamamoto detailed some of the development
challenges of the RF, which was planned from the beginning of the ND's
"The basic premise of the soft-top model is top-down driving, and in comparison
we expect MX-5 RF owners will spend more time with the top closed," he said.
"So we began development by throwing our thinking into reverse; our aim was a
convertible sportscar with gorgeous fastback lines when the roof is closed and
an exhilarating open-air feel when open.
"We asked ourselves what it meant to make a driver's car with a
power-retractable roof, ditched the traditional idea of stowing the entire roof
and realised styling that further articulates an iconic sportscar design."

her cunt lips + sweet hairy snapper are in a league of their own! Yowza!
Featuring: Persia Monir
Date: January 20th, 2016
Photos: 40
How does a guy find a doctor like Persia Monir? It ain't easy. Books listing urologists don't include their bra sizes, and their offices hang up when we ask. Here's a doctor who goes the extra inch for her male patients, checking the health of their cocks and balls. That's all Dr. Monir specializes in. Persia didn't get into adult entertainment until she became a stripper at 34. "I was playing golf. It's very expensive. I had a friend talk me into dancing. He said, 'You can't really play golf the way you want to on a nurse's salary.

A tad bit childish of me, I know, but you're talking to a girl here who loves Hello Kitty toasters and childrens books (they have some of the best illustrations ever!). I spotted these playful animal rubber bands and thought I'd zip them your way. You can purchase a box for $7.95 at wishing fish. I actually remember flicking rubber bands over cubicle walls not so long ago when I worked in the corporate world. I can't have nearly as much fun working from home, but you can. Flick them in the office, go ahead. It's Friday.

Hi Count
Sorry you didn't get your belt mate, but it's only a couple of inches thick. You have to cover the rest of your arse yourself anyway Trust in yourself and what you're doing. Always be happy with the way you train, your attitude, etc- then you will realise that belts are nice, but not important.
Even when you get it, you'll take at least 2 years, maybe double that- to get purple. All that training- just for a belt??? NO. You can't train for belts. There's no long term motivation in that. Train for YOU.
I got mine yesterday. FWIW, I thought there were 2 people better than me, who didn't get theirs. Maybe you were one of them?
When we went to dinner (as a team) after, one of the guys told me that I'll have a bullseye on my back now, because all the white belts will want to tap me (all of us I hope, not just me ), to show the instructors they should be blue belt. Blimey, no pressure there eh
See you on the mat

Did You Know?
Canker is commonly known as the name for a type of spreading sore that eats into the tissue-a use that obviously furnished the verb with both its medical and figurative senses. The word ultimately traces back to Latin cancer, which can refer to a crab or a malignant tumor. The Greeks have a similar word, "karkinos," and according to the Ancient Greek physician Galen the tumor got its name from the way the swollen veins surrounding the affected part resembled a crab's limbs. "Cancer" was adopted into Old English, becoming "canker" in Middle English and eventually shifting in meaning to become a general term for ulcerations. "Cancer" itself was reintroduced to English later, first as a zodiacal word and then as a medical term.

Want to learn how to smoke your own salmon or salami using a smoker or barbecue? Need recipes with smoked salmon, smoked trout or smoked haddock? Looking for smoky roasted veg, smoked herb chicken or smoked acorn squash soup?
If you don't have a smoking pan, you can use a thick, deep rosting tin. Then just have a rack where you can put the salmon on. Even with a lid, smoke will come out of it so cover the pan with foil first before putting on the lid. Also, line the base with foil so that the uncooked rice won't stick to the pan and is easier to dispose of. The salmon is wonderful with mango salsa or tartar sauce and the leftovers are good for brekkie with scrambled eggs.
Homemade salami made with minced meat, such as pork. Smoked using black walnut woodchips. To add a little heat, use red pepper flakes, about 2 tablespoons or to taste.
These quick but delicious smoke flavoured Lebanese chicken mince kebabs are always a dinner favourite! You can skewer them and cook them on a BBQ or even pan fry and smoke with coal for BBQ flavour in your own kitchen! Serve with pitta and baba ganoush and hummus. Makes 6 to 9 kebabs
This tasty pulled pork recipe from Hawsmoor chef Richard Turner is perfect for sandwiches and burgers! Enjoy with a glass of Casillero del Diablo Merlot - the plum and herbaceous flavours of the wine make this meat feat even more enjoyable!
These are to die for BBQ ribs you will want to serve to guests, to show off your cooking ability.
If you want to learn how to make your own ham, look no further. Pork is cured in brine for a week, then slowly cooked in a barbecue smoker for 12 hours.
This is a great recipe for smoked chicken. I use a handful of soaked wood chips in my barbecue to impart a smoky flavour to the meat.
A delicious smoked beef brisket recipe from Hawksmoor chef Richard Turner, perfect for summer BBQs with friends! Enjoy with a glass of Casillero del Diablo Devil's Collection Red - the soft, spicy and velvety texture and flavours of plum and black cherry perfectly complement the smoky flavour of this delicious smoked brisket!
This is probably the best tasting carrot soup that you'll ever taste. Carrots are cooked in a BBQ smoker, then simmered in a curry-spiced stock, before being blended with cream.
While you can get some smoked flavour by adding wet wood chips to the hot coals, you can get much more flavour using an electric smoker. Serve these veggies as a side to your steak, or assemble into a wonderful roasted veggie sandwich.

Ethiopia - between development aid and the stone age
Ethiopia – between development aid and the medieval
…from Sudan on we went on our way through Ethiopia – we had planned to cross right through the middle, Addis Abeba and then through to the Southern part around the Omo Valley, from where on we wanted to cross into Kenya. The whole country lies nestled in between high mountain ranges, and for us it was a welcome change from the heat and dust of Sudan. Typically African lifestyles we were already familiar with from Sudan, and also here in Ethiopia it wasn't much different. A bad, corrugated gravel road led us through straw hut settlements towards the Simian Mountains National Park. Our first night we stayed about 100 km behind the border, camping in the bush not too far away from a little village. We were left alone, which was very surprising, normally it takes not even 10 seconds and we were surrounded by the chitter-chattering of the kids.
The Simian Mountains were spectacular. We drove up till 4200m altitude – our Bumblebee coughed and smoked, the air up here seemed really to be thinner! (We felt it as well, when walking faster one easily got exhausted!) The views over the surrounding mountain ranges were breathtaking, in the distance we could see cloud-framed peaks and green-brown hills. Up here live 2 endemic species, the Walia Ibex (some sort of huge mountain goat with big, curved horns) and the gelada baboon, which had a lion's mane and a pink heart on the chest. We watched one of these big families for quite a while, shot nice photos. The whole way we had a guide with us, and as we had only 2 seats in the car he had to be squeezed in between us, his Kalachnikov tucked somewhere under the seat. He hadn't been that excited about that but wanted the money.
The Simian Mountains were our first experience with Ethiopia, and they pleased us. But honestly, what we liked less were the "herds" of begging children, who were constantly running behind the car and even threw stones when they got frustrated enough – our car got spit at, kicked and numerous things thrown at. (including a school book!) It went on our nerves! It was funny though, to see, how a white man is apparently a guarantee for money and help! Even a woman 3x Rene's size asked for money, she was hungry, she claimed! Or a sheperd with 100 cows! Ethiopia is definitely not as poor as described in the media! Of course, living standards are far below ours in Europe, but it is not only a question of poverty but also of culture and mentality.
Everywhere we went we saw signs: "Sponsored by the EU", "Built by UN" or similar, and still the ordinary farmer goes to plow his field merely using a medieval plowshare and 1 or 2 oxen. In general one could say, that the tools here have a very "prehistoric" character. And that, of course, is a big difference, even compared to North African countries!
In Addis Abeba we had only stopped for some bureaucratic errands and to update our website, which didn't really work out with a 34k dial-up modem connection! From Addis we had planned to visit the Erta Ale volcanoes in the Danakil Depression, but soon had to realize that it would cost us a fortune to pay permits, guides and other costs. So we changed our minds and instead of the Danakil we had decided to drive eastwards, towards the Somalian border and have a look at Harer, an ancient, muslimic town. We wanted to go there for 2 reasons: first we wanted to get a bit off the beaten track and secondly we wanted to enjoy the landscape on the way, we had heard that it changes from the typical mountainous vegetation to a more savanna-like area, drier with more acacia trees. Harer is a fascinating little town, encircled by old city walls, inside a labyrinth of narrow lanes, steps and mud buildings. Its main attraction, though, are hyenas who come into town. History has it that these spotted hyenas came into town looking for food, when there was a big famine a few hundred years ago. They are said to have stolen children and livestock as well. That's why the inhabitants started feeding them porridge to keep them at bay. So, after coming from a very nice little Ethiopian restaurant, where we had our share of injera with different hot to superhot goat "stir fries", we wanted to see the hyenas. Luckily enough, at the police station just around the corner from our hotel, we found police officers feeding approx 18 hyenas – putting little pieces of meat on a stick and having their fun with these beasts. They are huge enough animals! The police officers could convince Andrea to give feeding a go as well – first she was shy but then did it. Respect!
From Harer on we went on our way back to Addis, now we had the most interesting part of Ethiopia in front of us – the Omo valley and ist traditional tribes, one of the most colourful regions of Africa. Our way led us through Arba Minch and the Nechisar National Park, where we saw zebras for the first time, till Jinka. Along this way we noticed the locals' clothing becoming more sparse and jewellery becoming more. We came in the right time – in Jinka would be market day the following morning. Early we arrived – this market was a huge mix of just about everything – metal products, typical "made in china" rubbish, beadwork, homemade spirit, shoes from old tyres, huge piles of 2nd hand clothing or seeds or vegetables or or or or…it was highly interesting. For 1 USD we bought 1 litre of corn spirit (no, we didn't get blind), then some diverse veggies, but most of all we were delighted about the many photos we could take, we met Tsamay, Mursi, Hamar and many more. From Jinka onwards the villages or settlements got smaller and smaller, we just followed a small track and Rene suddenly noticed that maybe we didn't have enough diesel! Just by coincidence we met 2 white and 2 black people in a Landcruiser, they accompanied us till the next village and found us some diesel there. They were 2 future anthropologists and 2 men of the Hamar tribe. In a little local "pub" we enjoyed a cold beer and chatted with them. The 2 Hamar men invited us to stay in their village overnight. A short while later we found ourselves sitting around a big campfire, in the middle of a traditional Hamar village, drank coffee from huge calbashes (kind of pumpkin) and listened to the guttural sounds of the Hamar dialect. (This village was the starting point of the anthropologist Ivo Strecker, who came here first time in the 80's to do research).
The next morning we moved on, in Turmi we would have another market waiting for us. Rene was lucky, he could swop an old axe for a spearhead and Andrea received a beaded bracelet from a little boy as a gift. We took a lot of photos and sucked up the atmosphere – the sun burning down on us, we were surrounded by hundreds of tribespeople, they didn't know "normal" clothes, constantly someone would pull on our shirt to ask for a photo. It was a really nice market, except one "souvenir" section everything was traditional and for locals – seeds, veggies, goats and things like that. The head full of exotic experiences we left Turmi to drive towards Omorate, from where we wanted to cross into Kenya. Omorate is at the shores of the Omo river, it is a godforsaken town, dusty and dry, here one finds mostly thin Dasanech people. Here we only went to get our exit stamps, then we followed sandy roads, dry riverbeds and acacia-covered drylands towards Lake Turkana in Kenya…

Kaitlin & Victor
June 29
San Luis Obispo, California
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The fact that they had one of the original steam trains that used to run around Disneyland! We rented it for the afternoon, and guests got to ride it around the ranch. Having grown up in southern California and spending our youth (and adulthood) going to Disneyland, Victor and I were huge Disney fans. The deal was pretty much set once we found out about the train.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. The train.
2. The home videos we had playing above us when we had our first dance, father/daughter dance and mother/son dance.
3. All of our DIY projects, especially our handmade photobooth made by a friend.
3. If you could offer one piece of advice for other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
Don't stress out! I did not like any aspect of the wedding planning process, and many a time I wanted to elope. Don't do it! It's totally worth it to stick it out. Try and enjoy the wedding planning with your fiancé, because (hopefully) it will be the only wedding you get to plan. Just remember that in the end it's all about the love between you two.
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding you can't stop thinking about.
The non-first look my husband and I did. We did a first look, but we were blindfolded – this gave us the chance to meet up before the wedding to hug, hold hands, exchange cards and in my husbands case cry his eyes out, without actually seeing each other. Even though I expected the crying from him (he's a big baby – in a good way), it was especially sweet since we would be getting married a few minutes later.

Congrats! 1911's are contagious!

Here she is. I picked her up with my Tax Return. Brand New. Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 PX9109LP. Comes with Night Sights too.
I went shooting tonight and shot 100 rounds of CCI Blazer Aluminum. Flawless operation. Dumb dumb me forgot the Remington Golden Sabers on the Kitchen counter, so unfortunately I won't be able to carry it until I can make it back to the range.
This is my first 1911 and first .45. I am in love. I may never buy anything besides 1911s ever again.
Surprisingly I shoot the .45 much better than I shoot my 9mms.
I am planning on changing out the Mainspring Housing because it has the Internal Locking system. And I plan on changing the guide rod because the stock one requires an allen wrench to disassemble the gun. Any Suggestions?
Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed"
Dump the two-piece rod, go with the tried and true GI rod and plug. You can use the same spring.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
BRAVO!!! Good to see such a pretty new tool. I am very happy for you. Wish I had a new 1911, oh wait, mine is only 40 days old. :)
And I'll second AZ Husker.
"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow.
End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
Either way, nice 1911!
Also get some Wilson 47D mags or some Tripp Research Cobra mags. Both are super reliable!
Very nice! Congrats
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
Nice piece!! I have one just like it and it shoots wonderfully. Enjoy!!
Excellent choice, as far as the ILS system I have carried my Micro-Compact for over seven years and run over 1000 rounds through with no problems with the lock. The only reason I would foresee changing it would be to switch to an arched housing.

I seem to have been writing a very similar post several months back. I hope you continue to enjoy your's as much as I am mine. And yes, they ARE contagious! I had a few probs with mine after a few hundred rounds but SA made them right and then some.
Ruger MkII, Kel Tek P3AT, Hi Point JH45, SA XDm9, SA XD9sc, SA 1911 MilSpec Loaded, SA 1911 MilSpec Loaded Micro
Life is fragile and is what we make it. Keep dear to your heart that of your loved ones and fellow man and by God don't try to take it from me or my loved one's.
Glad to hear the ILS hasn't cause any problems. I'll probably leave it alone for now then.
Exodus 22:2 "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed"
I have the same model. I love it.
In addition to being one of my favorite range guns, it also has the distinct honor of being my last line of defense in a Gun Vault by the bed.

London, July 23 (ANI): The U.S.-based Glazer family, which owns Manchester United has denied rumors of transfer being kept from Alex Ferguson, but has acknowledged that it is spending 43.3 million pounds a year to service the club's massive debt.
The Old Trafford giants have gone from being one of the richest clubs in football to the most indebted following the takeover by the Glazer family four years ago, reports The Sun.
According to the tabloid, Ferguson has spent only 22 million pounds of the 80 million pounds that Manchester United received as transfer fee for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Glazer family's spokesman, Teshin Nayani, said Ferguson has not been denied any money because of the club's financial position.
"The truth is a lot more prosaic than that. The delay is because the manager has not been able to locate the players that he believes fit into the Manchester United mindset, ones that are motivated to play for United. You don't want mercenaries... to pay over the odds for players not willing to give their all for the club," he was quoted, as saying.
Though United are servicing a massive debt, Nayani said the club's revenue continues to go up.
He said: "Our operating profits are climbing and we continue to secure significant sponsorship deals. Our stadium is packed out and we have very good media revenues coming in. On a normal business level Manchester United is in a very strong position and so far unaffected by the downturn."
"Having said that, the manager has a significant amount of money to invest if he wants to," he added.
For the record, United's American owners borrowed most of the 750 million pounds they needed to buy the club. (ANI)

Hello everyone. I'll try to keep it detailed and short!
This may seem like obvious for most of you'll but I'm a sucker for saving money and fix what I need and not isn't needed.
So drove around 45 mph yesterday and the car stops. Eventually I could restart it. It scared me because I had this problem before I replaced my ECM last year. But I have codes PO 341 twice, (may just be my reader.) and PO 335.
At this point what is it I need to fix, and what's the best order of doing so if it's multiple problems? (crankshaft/cam shaft )
Thanks for any help guys!

Technique of broken bolt removal
Any body can help me in finding the company that can offer services related tot the removal of broken bolts and metal disintegration? I require it for my companies customers.
it might help IF....
u posted where u'r from ????????????????????????????????
or the area u'r looking for... ???????????????????????????:nono:
Technique of broken bolt removal
Your question makes no sense to me. Where in the US are you looking? Any competent person, mechanic and machine shop can remove most broken bolts and screws unless it's in your Rolex.
just use a center punch and punch it dead square in the middle. Use a 1/8" bit for a pilot hole, then use a 3/32", then finally the size you want for your bolt. I like to take the bolt that belongs in the threads where the broken bolt is, then find a nut that fits it. Then you take the biggest bit you can find that fits thru the nut and drill out the rest of the bolt with that bit. Last retap the hole with the right sized tap for the original bolt and it's like nothing ever happened. It doesn't work all the time and its success hinges on how well you center your punch mark.
Re: Technique of broken bolt removal
Depending on the bolt, its size, what it's broken off in, and is/was it seized when broken off, there are several ways to get it done; My first choise is to carefully center punch the bolt use a reverse twist(left hand twist) drill, usually as they break through they will catch and turn out the bolt. I know it sounds funny but they actually do make left hand twist drills in a variety of sizes, You can get them at most good machinery or tool sales stores.
Failing that, I try an easy out, if that fails even after trying heating the material the bolt is broken off in to loosen it I usually try drilling it out as close to the thread size as I can and use the correct tap to get the remaining threads out or a torch to get the remaining threads out by heating them very hot then use a pick to remove them before running a tap through the threads.
Last resort is to find an automotive machine shop (Engine rebuilder) most will have a machine that can burn out the bolt...
Look up machine shop in yellow pages problem solved
tons of stuff seems to be coming from china and india now..
If you are talking about EDM (electrical discharge machining) then Google is your friend.
Drill a hole in the bolt and then use an easy out.
Use of the term "metal disintegration" leads me to believe he's talking about EDM.

I called Caruso Motorsports on Friday December 29th and ordered their front and rear skid plates for my 2002 WRX wagon. Yesterday, (Monday December 31) David called me back and said that they were ready and I could swing by the shop in Westminster for free installation.
The plates are 3/16" aluminum and the welds look great on the rear plate. The rear plate will also clear a 3" exhaust which most do not. You can't beat the price either for $250 for both front and rear. They provided new 17mm bolts and aluminum spacers for the forward mounting points of the rear plate as well.
Front plate:
Front plate from the rear:
Rear plate:
David was very friendly and had the plates on the car in about 20 minutes. I would definitely recommend Caruso Motorsports
