IUC Report
A big thanks to GM Bos and Master Ottesen for easily the best IUC I have been to. So much explained and so very well conducted.
The TAG have been very busy this year already implementing plans for a lot of changes, the least of which are the new rules, so having some details explained by two of the main people responsible for the changes was awesome.
Master Ottesen started the day with theory and discussing various situations, rule changes to warnings and fouls etc, during which we all had a lesson in how to make calls as a referee. After a little practice on this, we all had a detailed lesson on how to enter and leave the ring, both for patterns and for sparring. Why did we spend a lot of time of this seemingly minor detail?
Well, the main theme of the day was that in order to have a safe tournament, you have to have professional officials that know what they are doing, and feel and look like they know what they are doing. Master O spent a great deal of time on what it means to be an official, and how to conduct yourself as one. And entering and leaving the ring is the start and especially the finish of this.
So, guess what NZ! That's right, things are about to change for us. The IUC only reinforces my resolve after Brighton to lift the standard of officiating in NZ through higher detailed courses, the first of which is coming up in July, but more on that secret squirrel event later in the year.
The afternoon was spent going over the new patterns scoring system, more sparring, per-arranged, special technique and power. We covered it all, finishing at 6.30 after a very long and productive day. There are also major changes to the team sparring score system.
It was also great to see some of our top competitors there too, furiously writing down notes. You guys will have an advantage after attending the course, good move on your part.
So many changes which is the reason why the TAG is running a 'C' course in each region. As GM Boss pointed out to us, especially with 'holding/grabbing' now upgraded to a foul, these new rules will change how coaches teach and officials judge, and a lot of the techniques competitors currently use will have to be discarded, and new systems adopted.
A big thanks to you both sirs, a great course and also a big thanks for the way you patiently answered all questions and explained decisions.

ITF Children's Development Committee meeting
On 15th & 16th January 2013 the ITF Children's Development Committee met in Amsterdam to discuss the future of the Kid's Development Program. The three Committee members were Master Donato Nardizzi (England), Fabian Izquierdo (Argentina) and the latest member to join the Committee, Philip Lear (England). Master Willy Van Der Mortel (Netherlands) was also expected to attend but was unable to because of the poor road conditions due to the snow.
On the first day, the Committee met with three members of the ITF Board: The President GM Trajtenberg, GM Bos and Master Ferrando. They discussed the importance of the ITF Kid's Development Program as a means to provide a broad based foundation for young children rather than rushing them through the grades. Today, more children are starting Taekwon-Do at an early age and we are seeing too many young children achieving Black Belt status too quickly by following the adult syllabus. Promotion to Black belt indicates a certain degree of maturity but the children may not have the same level wisdom and broad range of life experiences as an adult. It was agreed that the ITF has a responsibility to encourage instructors to utilise the Kid's Development Program which provides the necessary broad range of knowledge and experience for their young students at a pace that is suitable for their age group.
It was proposed that elements of the Children's Development course should be included in all the IIC's after summer 2013. The proposal is to have a three hour seminar in every IIC about teaching strategies for young students. This would not only benefit instructors who teach young children but also those that teach older students with learning difficulties. Many teaching strategies will be taught which enable the instructor to simplify the various Taekwon-Do skills by breaking them down into simpler parts. It is important that senior instructors and masters understand the teaching methods of the Kid's Development Program regardless of whether they teach it directly or not. They may indeed have students who will become instructors of the Kids Development Program.
With three Children's Development courses taking place in 2012, ways of facilitating more courses in 2013 were discussed. The ITF will make it easier for National Associations to host a Children's Development Course in their country and, if necessary, to translate the Study Book in their own language.
It was agreed to have a dedicated website for the Kids Program which will have its own domain name and have a link from the official ITF website. This will serve to promote the Kids Development Program as well as providing the students, parents and instructors with additional resources.
Ways of making an easy transition for instructors who are already running other children's programmes were discussed. This is not too difficult as the ITF Kid's Development Program was designed with flexibility in mind. The biggest problem was that of changing over doboks to the new approved ITF children's dobok for students using a non ITF approved dobok. Master Ferrando offered to speak to the sponsors to try to agree a deal for students needing to change their doboks.
On the second meeting of the day, the Committee continued to discuss ways in which the transition can be made from other kid's programmes to the ITF Kid's Program. Many children's programmes have similar topics but they are perhaps arranged in different categories or themes. By adapting the assignment criteria for each grade level or badge award the ITF Kid's Program can appear to be very similar to what the students were doing before.
On the second day, the Committee started work on the new website, designing the structure and listing the menu items. They even managed to write out some of the static content for various pages. There will be a section for kids that will include interactive games, cartoon strips, stories and activities using the five characters of the Program. The idea is to provide extra resources for the kids to help them learn all the topics and at the same time bring the five characters to life. There will be a section for parents not only to promote the Program but also to help them support their children with the homework tasks and learning the various topics. An instructor's section with a log in facility for official ITF Kid's Program Instructors only, will provide them with a wealth of resources including a database of games and activities, additional homework assignments and advice on teaching strategies and requirements.
The meeting ended with plenty of work done but still plenty of work left to do by each member of the Committee. They will continue to work on the website and planning the forthcoming courses. Look out for the more information about the Kid's Development Program coming soon on the ITF website.

Dear Members and Visitors
The 78th IIC took place in Tralee, Co. Kerry Ireland on the weekend of the 25th - 27th of January 2013 hosted by the Irish Taekwon-Do Association. The IIC was a great success with 130 black belts from 15 countries; Ireland, Switzerland, Netherlands, England, Norway, Scotland, Finland, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Luxembourg, France, Russia, and Belgium. There was over half of the course from 4th Dan and above including 10 Masters; eight 7th Dan and two 8th Dan. The course was conducted by the ITF technical committee; Grandmaster Marano, Grandmaster Bos and Grandmaster Lan.
The course was run under a new format which meant extra hours of training and contact for all participants and the feedback from all participants on the course was very positive about the content. The Grandmasters arrived on Thursday and were greeted in the town council chambers by local government officials and the mayor. The Grandmasters were presented with a beautiful certificate to mark their visit.
The IIC commenced on Friday and the Grandmasters were lead into the hall by a piper, which added to the atmosphere and occasion of the event. Over the 3 days the the IIC was mainly divided into 2 groups; one group for 1st - 3rd Dan and the other for 4th dan above, in two separate rooms. This meant the Grandmasters could cover more material with all participants. The Grandmasters covered all aspects of ITF Taekwon-Do including; patterns up to Tong-il in great detail, fundamental movements, free sparring, traditional sparring, step-sparring, self defence, flexibility and warm-up exercises. There was also time for the group for 4th Dan and above to have discussions on topics such as the structure of their schools, gradings and syllabus, and also how to teach different aspects of the Taekwon-Do syllabus. The Grandmasters were in excellent form; Grandmaster Bos was inspirational with the atmosphere he creates in his classes, excellent exercises for flexibility, warm-up exercises, exercises for preparation for specific classes for kicking, patterns and sparring, participants got many new and imaginative ideas for the teaching of their classes from his sessions. Grandmaster Lan showed wonderful ability especially in the areas of free sparring and self defence, with excellent progressions to develop technique and ability in these areas. Grandmaster Marano again showed why he is the chairman of the technical committee, his knowledge on the ITF patterns is superb, participants were amazed at his ability to explain all techniques and reference the encyclopaedia by page and photograph and his ability to fix errors and explain the applications and details of all movements. Participants were very happy with the sessions on the patterns as the grandmasters did not just explain the technical details of the patterns but the reasons for each movement, the applications and also how to correct common errors and problems in the patterns. In the rest periods between sessions the Grandmasters were happy to work one on one with participants and clarify and doubts about the patterns. The participants found all aspects of the course extremely enjoyable and all participants commented on the professional set-up of the IIC by the ITA, the warm welcome and hospitality and the attention to detail. On the Friday evening their was a banquet which was attended by almost all of the IIC participants and their was great entertainment by a local folk band during this event. The IIC for 1st - 3rd Dan finished on Saturday and the Sunday was only for 4th Dan and above, where the higher degree patterns were covered in detail. The IIC was officially closed on Sunday and the ITF Grandmasters were presented with a gift of writing pens made from 5,000 year old Irish bog oak and 24 ct. gold.

How to remove chewing gum from carpet
Gum is difficult enough to get off of a concrete surface or the bottom of a shoe, but removing gum from a fine woolen rug or carpet fibers can be much more daunting. While it may be tempting to pull up the offending gum immediately, this can easily damage delicate carpet fibers.
One of the easiest ways to remove gum from carpet involves applying ice to the spot. Applying the ice will not remove the gum, but it will harden the gum in about twenty minutes, which will make it easier to lift off of the carpet. After the ice has hardened the gum, gently pick at the edges. Go slowly to avoid pulling up carpet fibers along with the gum.
It should be possible to remove most of the gum from the carpet, but there may be small traces left behind. This residue can be removed by lightly scrubbing the carpet with detergent, spray degreaser or a muscle rub that features methyl salicylate as the active ingredient. Test these on an inconspicuous area of the carpet, as they may leave stains of their own. Vacuum up any balls of gum residue leftover from scrubbing.
Another method to remove gum from carpet involves using a hair dryer. The softened gum should stick to a cleaning rag or plastic bag and release the carpet fibers as you lift it away from the floor. Proceed slowly to avoid harming the carpet fibers and be prepared to repeat the blotting and lifting process until the gum is removed.
Reapply heat as the gum starts to harden. The hot method of gum removal should be used with caution. If the carpet is wool or a synthetic material, heat that is too high can melt the fibers. Watch for any melting while using the hair dryer. If in doubt, test on a small section of carpet in an out of the way place.
If the gum spot is older, it may be necessary to apply a dry or gel based solvent, such as a paint, oil and grease remover. As the solvent is working on the gum, scrape gently with a plastic spoon or spatula. Never use a knife to try to lift a gum stain because the sharpened edge can damage the carpet pile.
Following any of the above cleaning methods, be sure to rinse out any remaining solvents or chemical scrubs with a solution of baking soda dissolved in water. This will ensure that all acidic products will be neutralized and it will remove any colors and smells left by the scrubs. Blot with a clean cloth to dry, then apply a thick, folded cloth weighed down by a stone or heavy item to wick up the last of the water.
Many carpets are very delicate and may not stand up to the solvents and scrubbing used in the methods described. If there is any reason to hesitate over any procedure, contact a professional carpet cleaner. Professional carpet cleaners have the tools and equipment needed to safely and easily remove chewing gum stains.
If you're ready to remove the gum from your home's carpet, but want to rely on the expertise of a professional carpet cleaner, turn to Angie's List. Whether you're seeking a Chicago carpet cleaner or a Los Angeles carpet cleaner, Angie's List features trusted, verified reviews on local businesses that are only written by consumers like you.

Tweets Rally Support for Layla Grace
Celebrities and mom bloggers all over the Web are rallying to help save a young girl's life. Keep reading to find out how you can join the crusade.
A small family of five in Texas is struggling as they watch their 2-year-old daughter and sister, Layla Grace, battle stage-four neuroblastoma. But now they're no longer struggling alone. All around the Twitterverse, more than 23,000 followers are being updated daily on little Layla Grace's condition.
Layla Grace's mom has taken to the Internet and found support and comfort on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The love has come from moms, dads and even celebrities like Ryan Seacrest -- who recently tweeted, "Just spoke w/ the mother of 2yr old @laylagrace who is in her final days of battling cancer. Keep her in our prayers."
The most recent and heartwrenching tweet from @LaylaGrace reads, "Hospice came & increased her morphine. She is still in pain at the moment. Hoping it starts working soon."
It's not just the details of the little girl's worsening condition that followers take a sincere interest in -- it's also the family memories and photos of Layla Grace that her mother posts that draw people close to the little girl who is fighting for her life.
Visit LaylaGrace.org for links and information on how you can help fundraise. Note: All donations go directly to Layla Grace's medical expenses. Please join in and give if you can.
I found the title of the article to be deceptive. Tweets have not saved Layla, no I believe are they expected to. The rally I have witnessed of late has been that she finally find peace.
How small of you to point out something that not only doesn't make any sense, but is also soooo incomparable to the situation at hand. There is an innocent child dying a slow and painful death and this is what you choose to think of? It's people like you that should be suffering instead of her. Get a life.
I am praying for this family, I went to their website, and read the blogs. And the second I saw the picture of that little angel, I broke down. She looks remarkably like my own daughter Jaydn. I can't imagine the heartbreak, I will pray for beautiful Layla.
I've been following Layla's story and commend her parents for their faith and for sharing her story.
I am following Little Layla too. I just got my girls a Layla Garce Tutu to wear for easter. It is nice to see so many people come together for this little angel.
Rest In Peace little angel! Now you can be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!!!
Rest in Peace sweet Angel. You have touched the lives of more people than you may ever know. Please watch over us all precious girl! You will be missed but never forgotten!
Layla is a truly beautiful little girl. My heart is broken that not only she, but her family as well, has to endure this awful disease. I hope you can all find peace in the joy that Layla has brought in her short time here. She is a courageous little girl. My heart goes out to you and prayers will continue for you all.

(in reply to the first comment) I don't think that the article was implying that twitter was helping the young girls condition rather that is was helping to send messages of support to her and her family which is extremely worthwhile.

It's never good to see a story like this and it makes me sad to see this happening. I know I may be a little late, but this kind of stuff gets me all the time. I pray for the girl's family that they're doing alright and that Layla is in a better place.

Bangkok by skytrain: Chid Lom
Jump to story list
First published 29th September, 2005
Chid Lom skytrain station is close to some very big shopping complexes and landmarks where you can snap up everything from captive birds -- release them and get good karma-- to gold plated BVLGARI watches (if that $10 Rolex you bought stops working). The station is number E1 on the Sukhumvit skytrain line, one stop from Siam, the chief interchange station. The main road underneath the station is called Phloen Chit, and this is where most of the interesting things to see are located, particularly to the west. This area is quite farang-heavy and a bit upscale.
If you're a movie buff and don't mind paying Western prices, DVD Station has a small but well stocked shop on the ticket level of the station. Most of the titles here can be found at home, but it's worth checking out for some rare Japanese, Chinese and Korean imports.
Running north and south away from the station and crossing Phloen Chit are two sois - soi Lang Suan to the south, and soi Chid Lom to the north. On the corner of Lang Suan and Phloen Chit you'll find Fabb Fashion Cafe which has good jazz and great, if somewhat overpriced, food.
Stroll up soi Lang Suan if you're hungry. This soi is stuffed with good places to eat, from the ubiquitous Starbucks to Italian, Chinese and street stall food. It's a relatively clean and attractive soi to walk down, where some eclectic little shops and boutiques can be found as well.
If you ignore soi Lang Suan and walk west along Phloen Chit, you'll quickly come to several big structures. The first is Amarin Plaza on the left, where you'll find several floors of mainly tourist-themed shops. Some good buys are also possible on items such as clothes, art and furnishings.
Beside Amarin Plaza is the monstrous Erawan structure which houses the swanky Grand Hyatt as well as a host of restaurants and shops. Start in the basement and wander around, working your way up to the beautiful hotel lobby for a coffee.
Right on the corner of Phloen Chit and Ratchadamri is the Erawan shrine, a famous Bangkok landmark. When the present shrine was erected, a litany of accidents which had occurred in connection with the local construction site was brought to an end, bringing the shrine a reputation for providing worshippers with good luck. Consequently it's always packed with people making offerings of flowers, incense and food. Traditional Thai dancers will put on a show for a donation, and you can try your luck by buying a lottery ticket from a vendor outside (after you've prayed, of course.) Watch out for well-dressed men starting friendly conversations: nine times out of ten they'll try to get you to buy something.
Kitty-corner to the Erawan shrine is the massive Central World Plaza, formerly the World Trade Centre. This mall is too big for its own good, and the confusing floor plan and dim lighting don't help. It used to have a decent ice skating rink on the top floor but it has recently closed down, leaving little in this mall to attract shoppers, although renovations are underway. The Kinokuniya bookstore on the 6th floor does have a fantastic selection of both English and Japanese books and magazines.
Directly across the street from Central World Plaza on the east side of Ratchadamri is the huge Metropolis/Big C complex. The two standouts are the movie theatre on the top floor and a Big C store that carries everything from bulk boxes of Mentos to washing machines. Restaurants, a food court and various shops, stalls and boutiques are also scattered throughout the complex.
Like ants around an anthill, the area outside of both Central World Plaza and the Big C building is usually bustling with people after the sun goes down. Food and clothing vendors, motorcycle taxis, tailors, cobblers, beggars, tourists and the occasional elephant all jostle for their piece of sidewalk, making this a great place to dive right into Bangkok street life.
Walking back towards Phloen Chit and the skytrain line, you'll come to Gaysorn Plaza, on the northeast corner of this busy intersection. This sparkling all-white building is the place to come if you want to spend your life savings on clothes. Gucci, Omega, Hugo Boss and Armani, among a slew of others, can all be found here. It's mostly stores inside, but several cafes provide glamorous pitstops as well. This is also the place to shop for upscale Thai-inspired home decorations, with some surprisingly affordable items tucked away if you look carefully.
From inside Gaysorn, it's possible to exit onto the elevated skytrain walkway from the third floor. From here, you can either walk back to Phloen Chit station or enjoy a pothole-free walk all the way to Siam, the main skytrain station. If all that walking has made you peckish, be sure to check out Fogo Vivo on the ground floor of President Tower, directly north of the skytrain station. It's Bangkok's self-proclaimed first authentic churrascaria.
The last location of note is another huge department store, Central Chid Lom, connected directly to the skytrain station on the east side. One of Bangkok's better malls, its seven floors offer enough shopping to keep anyone entertained and those who aren't can take it easy at FoodLoft, their massive trendy food court, or Greyhound. The homewares here are particularly good.

oh cool I have to host a work party on a sunday
findom is practical misandry.
(via professional--cunt)
Sometimes this job makes me hate men. There, I said it.
Same. Ironically, attempting to date in my personal life makes me hate them more.
It just validates my hate. Hehe.
holy goddamn I am glad I was out all day and didn't see those posts happen in real time I have my opinions and I am staying out.of.it.
whatever I'm just super worked up bc I had two whole coffees today and hung out with my pals who are sisters for hours. I wonder what it's like to be that close with a sibling/have a sibling. I hope I don't only always forever complain.
She's taking the dog for a really short walk I can tell.
goddamn I slave over a stove when it's 30 degrees to pre-cook 5 different meals for the week ahead so that we can both eat well so we can look and feel our best for the work week and save cash and I RUIN my manicure and my girlfriend just sits on her ipad watching bloody 'Zoo Juniors' in front of the fan and doesn't even offer to clean up or walk the dog.
I'm too tired/frustrated to bother moisturising after my shower, we have this fight every week and I just refuse to have it any more.

Jason Aldean 's Burn It Down tour is now underway, and he has more stadium dates booked for this summer than ever before. Getting to the point where he now headlines stadiums has been a long time coming for Jason.
"I never thought we would be a in a position to do that," Jason admits. "Over the years, we kinda built it up in the right way. We went from clubs to theaters to arenas, amphitheaters. It's kind of been a slow climb for us. But it's been a steady thing."
So, how does it feel to perform in front of 60,000 fans at one of those stadium shows?
Jason says, "To be on stage, look out and see a lot of people out there in a stadium is to me, one of the coolest things I've ever seen."
He doesn't take this success for granted, either.
Says Jason, "Not everybody can go out and do that stuff. To be one of the acts that can, it's a blessing. So, I'm very thankful for that."
Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr are on the road with Jason for the entire Burn It Down tour. Miranda Lambert will come on board for the stadium shows. Go to Jason's website for a full list of tour dates.

Beware of nostalgia!!!
Frame as Focus, iPhone Screenshot of iPhone Camera focusing, 2011 Chadwick Gibson
I am thoroughly fascinated by the idea of "machine vision" and what some artists/curators are calling the "new aesthetic." These terms call attention to contemporary visual culture's utter dependency on the invisible numerical logic of the pixel. Technology's endless visual streams of pixels may, if we are not mindful, reinvigorate the historically devastating link between vision and objectivity—it's Johan Casper Lavater's dream…

The 2014 NEA National Heritage Fellowships Concert will be held on Friday, September 19 at GW Lisner Auditorium in Washington, DC.
You can watch video of the 2013 concert here.
2013 National Heritage Fellows
Download last year's concert poster
The National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship is the highest honor that our nation bestows upon its folk and traditional artists. Each year, nine to thirteen individuals, "national living treasures" from across the nation, are chosen to receive this one-time-only Fellowship in recognition of lifetime achievement, artistic excellence and contributions to our nation's cultural heritage.
Bess Lomax Hawes, first director of NEA's Folk & Traditional Arts Program, created the National Heritage Fellowships in 1982. To date, 386 master artists have been honored. National Heritage Fellowships are awarded on an annual basis. Recipients are announced in early summer; the Fellowship award ceremonies and other activities take place the following fall.
For over 20 years, the NCTA has worked with the National Endowment for the Arts on a consulting basis to manage and coordinate the annual week of activities in Washington, D.C. honoring Fellowship recipients. These include a Capitol Hill award ceremony, a banquet in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress and a culminating gala public concert featuring the Fellowship awardees produced by the NCTA.
The NEA National Heritage Fellowship program is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts.

It may only be early November, but local retailers are ready for Christmas! And they have high hopes for this year's holiday business.
"I'm expecting people to come out and shop with the election over now," says Laura Romero, who owns Paper Moon in Reno. "I think people were handing onto their money but now that the election is over, I think they are ready to go."
And Romero has been in retail long enough to be able to read trends.
"I think people are after smaller gifts this year. Ornaments are big. They are looking for smaller items but things that actually mean something."
So Romero has stocked up on unique items, and things that are locally made.
In fact, a lot of local retailers are banking on buying local. Not only for the store owners but for the individual artists and vendors. Dave Asher knows how important that kind of investment is. He runs the Reno Sparks Local Business Co-op. And he says buying local is the key to our economic recovery.
"It's the number one way to create jobs," Asher says. "All the economists say so. It puts people to work and keeps money here supporting others."
Asher says last weekend's Buy Local Marketplace at the National Automobile Museum was a huge hit. He says it gave local artists and vendors a place to sell and the public was very supportive. And he says that has a trickle-down effect.
"Money spent here stays here locally and local are homeowners which means property tax and that means libraries and schools."
So local retailers will be putting their locally-made items out front this season...and Asher says he's already working on a second Buy Local Marketplace in Reno before Christmas.
Of course, We'll keep you posted.

We've all heard about the BMW 1M Coupé racking up the accolades but what about getting to actually own one? Well, one of our members has recently taken delivery of this rather special car. Read on…
BMW's 1M Coupé is no stranger to automotive aficionados and so much has already been said, written and filmed about this automotive performance icon. The car has received rave reviews from all quarters; from customers to motoring scribes to various industry professionals – the 1M Coupé has earned universal praise from even the most customarily critical types out there. When GCF member ghusheshe* gave us the heads up last week that he was soon to take delivery of his brand new BMW 1M Coupé, I knew the occasion had the potential for a get-together and ensuing write-up but I was uncertain about what I was going to write. I mean, what more can be said about the 1M Coupé that hasn't been said already? More after the jump…
I needn't have fretted as this is instead a story about the determination and persistence of a quietly passionate German Car Fan. The BMW 1M Coupé remains a rare animal – in spite of BMW increasing the original global allocation from 2700 units to match demand levels until production ceases in June 2012 – and even if you've got the means, getting your hands on one is an increasingly unlikely prospect these days. Make that nigh-impossible. The message that various South African BMW dealers were conveying to Vincent – that's ghusheshe's real name – was that his quest for M motoring nirvana was futile. They underestimated his resolve, however, and he persisted. Vincent made umpteen phone calls and even wrote letters such was his determination. One can thus imagine his delight when BMW SA informed Vincent that a 1M Coupé had been allocated to him. It's a classic moral-of-the-story of knowing what you want and then having the patient resolve to go and get it.
I simply leapt at the opportunity to meet with Vincent following his kind invitation to hook up at the dealer whereupon he would take delivery of his new baby. It's always a privilege to meet with real people from this online community that have randomly assembled as a result of one common interest: their passion and appreciation of cars. As I enthused to Vincent over an eventful lunch: it doesn't matter what car you drive. What's important is that genuine car fans recognise the fundamental importance and impact these mechanical oddities have on our very lives. For me, some of my most vivid memories – both good and bad – wouldn't exist without the influence of the humble automobile. It goes beyond mere transportation – this is about personal liberation, freedom and being enabled to see more of the world, to be with people you care about more of the time and to experience life more completely. It's an immense privilege to be a motorist and this notion is certainly not lost upon Vincent whose own passion and interest comes quickly to the fore in spite of his calm and reserved disposition.
Vincent is a quiet chap – he even refers to himself as being an introvert – but this makes him no less engaging over a good club sandwich and a robust chat about cars (I think motor-mouth here bent his ear a little to be honest). We had a grand old time getting to know a little bit more about each other, often sharing a laugh at the shenanigans over here at GCF. But there's no fooling this investment banker; he's astute, analytical and needless to say, well educated. I have to admit – I hadn't realised how quietly insightful he was given his equally reserved online persona. He's a great guy – simple as that.
In an interesting contrast, Vincent's Valencia Orange 1M Coupé is no shrinking violet. I see more Porsche 911s in one day than I do 1Ms in a month and there's no denying that, in the tin, this car has exceptional presence – easily as much as a regular version of Zuffenhausen's finest. And I'm chuffing jealous. There, I admitted it. Vincent and I spent a fair bit of time taking in the 1M's butch stance and macho proportions. Boy, it really is going to be a special collectable in later years! Vincent's had some photographs taken which he's kindly offered to share with us. I'm sure that you'll join GCF's staff in wishing him everything of the best and many, many safe miles in his special new machine.
So, how was the weekend as an owner of a new BMW 1M Coupé? I'll leave that to Vincent, though I can tell you that the weekend was far too short!
* P.S. ghusheshe is a local township nickname given to the much-revered E30 BMW 325iS which was engineered solely for the South African market in the absence of the E30 M3 which never made it to our shores.

About StrawberriesJuly 27th, 2011
The arrival of local strawberries is an early sign that summer has arrived. Often one of the first fruits to show up at your local farmers market, these delicious fruits have many benefits.

What are they? Mushrooms are the spore-bearing fruits of a fungus. They are not categorized as a plant because they do not undergo photosynthesis, yet they still boast nutritional benefits of their own. They can be found in virtually any habitat, especially where it is warm and wet.

text: Posted Online: Jan. 15, 2010, 1:13 pm Hare announces over $18 million in Recovery Act Funding to assist R.I., Moline, and Sterling Comment on this story Press release submitted by Congressman Phil HareWASHINGTON, DC-Congressman Phil Hare (D-IL) today announced that the Rock Island Economic Growth Corporation (GROWTH) has received $18,530,708 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. "This substantial investment from the economic recovery package will go a long way toward reviving our local economy, putting people back to work, and keeping families in their homes."The grant is being awarded under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Neighborhood Stabilization Program. GROWTH was among 60 recipients selected nationwide and will partner with the city of Moline, city of Rock Island, city of Sterling, and the Illinois Housing Development Authority. "By investing Recovery Act dollars in revitalizing hard-hit neighborhoods, we're not only creating new job opportunities, but giving communities across the country an opportunity for a fresh start," said Vice President Joe Biden. "These competitive awards go to the heart of the Recovery Act: funding innovative projects that both provide immediate relief and help lay a new foundation for long-term economic growth."NSP grants are designed to build on the work being done now to help state and local governments and non-profit developers collaborate to acquire land and property; to demolish or rehabilitate abandoned properties; and/or to offer down-payment and closing cost assistance to low- to middle-income homebuyers. Hare strongly supported the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates this legislation has created up to 1.6 million jobs nationwide.

A Murfreesboro mosque has won approval to expand a cemetery on the property. The Rutherford County Board of Zoning Appeals voted 3-2 Wednesday night to approve a special exception for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro for the establishment of a cemetery. The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro's Chairman of the Board Essam Fathy told News 2 it's not known when more burials will proceed on the grounds. The cemetery is private and only congregation members will be buried on site. One person has already been buried there. More improvements to the facility are planned. Once again, vocal opposition was on hand Wednesday night for the three-hour discussion at the board meeting. A vote on the issue was deferred in December until traffic and contamination studies could be conducted. Mosque leadership says traffic will not be affected by burials on the site. The cemetery is just the latest part of the property that has been opposed by some residents in Rutherford County. At the December meeting residents voiced concern that bodies buried on the property would contaminate the water. Chairman Fathy said the burials are safe and carry less risk than most traditional burials in the area. Related Stories:

Jason Tyler Grace, On the Road: Part II
January 25, 2011
I have now been homeless for over a year…
I am in a coffee house in Tokyo, Japan as I write this. A coffee is about five-fucking dollars. I managed to find one of the cheapest places to sleep in Tokyo and it is $33 dollars a night. I don't have a lot of money, so living on the cheap is a must and it is a serious challenge in the Land of the Rising Sun. (more…)
West Texas Tattoo Convention: On the Road from San Angelo, Texas
By John
After a week-long stay in Austin, Texas (ATX) following the Star of Texas Convention, I jumped in a cargo van and drove out to the West Texas Tattoo Convention in San Angelo.
It turned out that a few people from the ATX show also made the scary journey through the west Texas dessert, including Richard Stell, Rock of Ages, Austin Tattoo Co., Electric 13 Tattoo and Triple Crown Tattoo. I'm sure there were others and I apologize for not mentioning you here. (more…)
Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival: On the Road from Austin, Texas
By John
It happened as soon as I landed in Austin, Texas. Not the Star of Texas Tattoo Art Revival- that would start the following day… however it didn't take long to see some friendly faces, deep in the heart of Texas.
I was posted up in baggage claim, doing my normal multi-tasking: texting, listening to music, checking e-mails, playing Words With Friends (you know) the usual mindless activities while I waited for the baggage gods to release my personals. (more…)

My money has supported what appears to be a somewhat drawn-out product development of a scaled production line to assemble EESU modules in extrapolated configurations. Validation of EEStor production lines lines plus EESUs themselves are almost sufficient (needs history) to be useful to EV manufacturers and their supply chain requirements. Engineers know what engineers need.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear has more than just a state pride interest in the Rolex Kentucky event. He's got a family tie, too.
Emily Beshear, the governor's daughter-in-law, and her former Thoroughbred racehorse, Here's To You, are competing in the four-star Olympic level event competition at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington.
Emily Beshear is married to the governor's son, Jeff Beshear, an equine vet in Charlottesville, Va.
Emily Beshear told the Lexington Herald-Leader (http://bit.ly/JMD27v ) said having a good Rolex Kentucky with her whole family there to cheer her own "would make it very special."
Gov. Beshear said his fingers are crossed, particularly for Saturday's cross-country jumping phase.
Emily Beshear took the challenge in stride, scoring a respectable 53.8 in Friday's dressage competition.
