All the other kids with the pumped up kicks.........except for me because they actually have normal shoe sizes #BigFeetProblems
1. When a guy has big feet, he gets to make jokes about it…
2. …but when a girl has big feet, she's doomed.
3. You go to your favorite shoe store hoping that maybe *this* time they'll have your size.
4. But, no.
5. Never.
6. Even when you shop online, bigger sizes are considered "Special Sizes."
7. You hate going to fancy shoe stores because you know the jokes are coming.
"My, what big feet you have!"
~bye forever.~
8. You have literally tripped over your own feet.
On many occasions.
9. This scene is way too familiar.
And forget about sale sections. It's like a barren wasteland.
10. This truth bomb hits close to home.
11. You look at girls with tiny dainty feet and imagine what it's like.
12. Your shoe size hasn't been in the single digits since you were a toddler.
13. When you wear red shoes, you feel like an actual clown.
14. Any bright colored shoes end up looking cartoonishly big.
15. The ankles on big shoes are always stupidly wide.
16. No one seems to understand that not all women's feet are the same width.
17. Packing is the worst because shoes take up your whole bag.
Oh, don't worry. I didn't need any clothes.
18. You can never borrow shoes from anyone.
19. Except all your guy friends.
20. One size sock does NOT fit all.
21. Sandals are a real problem.
But where are my toes supposed to go?
22. And forget about trying to find vintage shoes that fit.
Did EVERYONE have tiny feet in the 80s?
23. Footie Pajamas are definitely not an option.
24. You've had toe clevage since before it was a thing.
25. It's like everything was designed to remind you how big your feet are.
26. When a store actually has your size, this is how it looks to everyone else.
27. But at least you know you'd be good at barefoot skiiing.
28. And when you stand on your tiptoes you're a whole foot taller.
(Get it?)

Buffalo, NY (WKBW) - Incumbent Assemblyman Sean Ryan (D) is fighting for another shot in the State Assembly. He's facing off against two other candidates to get there -- Kevin Gaughan and Joseph Mascia.
Candidates spent primary election day pushing their issues to possible voters.
Both candidates cast their ballots, before trying to sway the vote.
Assemblyman Ryan has served one year in Albany during what he calls a "historic time" -- the state legislature passed a budget on time, a rarity in politics these days.
Ryan tells Eyewitness News "We had some really good accomplishments -- we had our second on time budget, got some tax cuts for the middle class and just a great focus on Buffalo's economy."
Ryan's championing a better education system and bringing jobs to Western New York.
He says the key to that is the Buffalo Billion -- one billion dollars in state aid heading to the Queen City. Ryan adds improving the waterfront is also crucial and that "We've done a lot of great work on the inner harbor. Now we're trying to take that good momentum, leap frog over the river and do that work on the outer harbor."
Kevin Gaughan believes the district, which serves Buffalo, Lackawanna and Hamburg, needs to send a fresh face to the State Assembly, telling Eyewitness News "The average Buffalo resident has a life of economic insecurity, they don't have the comforts of the political class."
Gaughan is also running on a platform of education and revitalizing Buffalo's economy.
His plan -- downsizing the government in Albany. Gaughan, the regionalism advocate, has already pioneered efforts to reduce the size of government in several local towns and villages.
He explains "If we reduced the legislature to it's original size, it's grown over the past 60 years ... That would save about 88-million dollars in taxes. That's about $888 million a year, which I believe we can use right here in Buffalo."
Joe Mascia says his experience in the Buffalo community will help him in Albany.
Mascia says "I'm a 4 time elected commissioner with the Buffalo municipal housing authority -- and we're used to handling budgets and costs and things of that nature."
Mascia says he is a Democrat, but is not "controlled by anyone in the party or in Albany. I think what people are looking for is true independence."
In the hours before the polls closed, candidates kept on rallying volunteers, making phone calls and talking to voters.
The final candidate will be on the ballot in the November general election.

Many Oilers fans are calling for Devon Dubnyk to be sent down to the minors or traded off for empty water bottles. Does Dubnyk deserve better? Is the end near for Devon Dubnyk as a Oiler or even an NHLer?
The Edmonton Oilers have had many disappointments when it comes to players in the last ten years or so, Rob Schremp being one such disappointment. Most of the problems can be directed to poor management decisions. Deciding to play young kids in the NHL instead of playing them in the minors to develop their talents and strength seems to have slowly killed any depth we have in the system and has caused a few NHL careers to be disappointments. In the case of Devon Dubnyk their seems to be a different issue.
I defended Dubnyk last month with a blog called 'The Curious Case of Devon Dubnyk" and I have decided to take my licks and tell everyone that I was wrong. The case of Devon Dubnyk was not curious at all but rather, right there in black and white staring me in the face. He is an average NHL goalie that would be an okay back up in the NHL or maybe because he stands at six and a half feet tall he would be a good back up at a bar fight.
I know Dubnyk has struggled mightily this year but in the 2004 entry draft he was the second goalie selected, 14th overall in the draft. The Oilers must of seen something in him to pass up on players like Travis Zajac, Wojtek Wolski, Andrej Meszaros, Cory Schneider and Mike Green who were all drafted after Dubnyk in the first round, right? Well since drafted in 2004 the 6′ 6″ 210lb Dubnyk has posted only one winning season in any league and I hate to say it but Corey Schneider has posted only three losing seasons in his entire junior and NHL career. Maybe Dubnyk is not to blame but rather the Oilers brass is to blame for even drafting him so high. That is another topic for another day.
Last year all signs pointed to the fact that he would succeed in the NHL when he posted a .920 SV% and a 2.57 GAA and a losing record of 14-16-6 in the shortened season. So what did the Oilers do? Everyone's favorite Kevin made room for his buddy Craig Mactavish with visions of sharing another sip out of Lord Stanleys Cup with him. Instead of focusing on the fact that this team, our team had no number one D-man and had planned to ride a losing goalie all the way to the promised land.
Low and behold Dubnyk has fallen flat on his face this year. Now 9-13-2 with a GAA of 3.36 and a SV% of .890. Great numbers if you have the Oilers team from the 80's playing in front of you. Just ask Grant Fuhr who finished his Hall of Fame career with a 3.38 GAA and a save percentage in the high .800's but managed to have a 403 -295-114 record . Dubby has not been able to make a key save when the Oilers need it. He has not been able to stop pucks that most of the goalies in the NHL, including backups, would make on a routine basis. Plain and simple Devon Dubnyk should be done as an Oiler and will be a back up elsewhere in the NHL next year if he is lucky.
I think he has as many games as Ilya Bryzgalov is injured to turn it around and regain his and his teammates confidence. Once 'The Universe' is back he will get a majority of the starts and Richard Bachman has played well enough to back up any goalie that the Oilers decide to sign in the off season. Don't be surprised to see Bryzgalov signed to a long term deal if he performs well the rest of the season.

The Iveagh Gardens
The Iveagh Gardens are located in Dublin's city center on Clonmel Street, not far from the southwest corner of St. Stephen's Green. Designed by landscape architect Ninian Niven in 1865, the gardens represent a collection of tableaux styles that rest on a continuum between 'French Formal' and 'English Landscape'. Key features of the 8.5-acre park include a boxwood maze with a sundial at center, the cascade, the Victorian Rosarium (complete with rose planting from early 19th-century varieties), the American Garden, small woodland spaces, lawns, fountains, scattered pieces of seemingly ancient statuary damaged by time, archery grounds, and a network of pathways. The gardens are surrounded by high stone walls and accessed through three inconspicuous gates, making the park easy to mistake for a private enclave. Entrances are located on Hatch Street Upper (with wheelchair access), on Clonmel Street, and behind the National Concert Hall on Earlsfort Terrace. The park is open daily, mostly during daytime hours. Visitors planning outings during the early morning or evening should check detailed schedules of operation. Admission is free.

But Habous also said that depends on whether his forces get high-tech weapons from the United States to finish the job. He cited Stinger missiles, the shoulder-fired rockets the Central Intelligence Agency supplied Afghan holy warriors in the 1980s, "that can neutralize the helicopters and tanks of Assad's regime." According to Habous, "This is all in the hands of the Americans. They have the say and we will hold them responsible for more victims."
But then the problem is:
In the past, White House and State Department officials have said they are reluctant to send weapons to the rebel fighters because the weapons could end up in the hands of extremist groups or even terrorist organizations. In an interview Friday, Rep. Mike Rogers, the Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said 25 percent of the opposition has "extremist ties." He would not elaborate on the source of that information.
Portable Stinger missiles would be especially easy to sell on the black market and could end up in the hands of America's foes, said Daryl Kimball, the executive director of the Arms Control Association, a nonpartisan membership group in Washington. Similar weapons sold to Libya in the Cold War known as SA-7 missiles went missing in 2011 during that country's revolution.
"Certain weapons like Stinger missiles are extremely hard to control once they are transferred," he said. "It could lead to very widespread unintended consequences during and after the conflict if those weapons fall into the hands of groups they were not intended for. There is a long history that shows that these very portable, essentially heavy weapons should not be transferred except under very limited and controlled circumstances."

Brussels, 13 November 2013 — Ahead of the last meeting of the "Licences for Europe" initiative, five European citizen organisations – Centrum Cyfrowe, EDRI, Kennisland, Modern Poland Foundation, and La Quadrature du Net – release the following joint press release reaffirming the urgent need of an European Copyright reform.
Paris, 11 September 2013 – Amid strong criticisms both inside and outside the European Commission, Neelie Kroes decided to rush the adoption of her draft telecom legislation, which includes very controversial anti-Net neutrality proposals. Commissioner Kroes, who spent the whole legislature denying the very need for legislative action on the topic, is now rushing a flawed lobby-driven text, in complete disrespect of European citizens. The ball is now in the hands of the European Parliament, just months ahead of upcoming elections.
Paris, 30 August 2013 — For the past 3 years, a consortium led by Alcatel-Lucent has been working on technical, business and legal aspects of a plan that would effectively put an end to the free and open Internet we enjoy today. Under the guise of protecting Net neutrality, EU Commissioner Neelie Kroes is about to give these big telecom companies a EU-wide legal shield to achieve their power-grab on the Internet economy, as confirmed by a new leaked EU Commission document. Such a shocking instance of corporate policy capture would have disastrous effects for freedom and innovation online.
Paris, 19 July 2013 — Since last week, after citizen groups started criticizing the EU Commission over its leaked draft regulation threatening to kill Net neutrality, Commissioner Neelie Kroes and her staff have tried to defend their proposal on Twitter, arguing that these criticisms were "misleading European citizens". Here is a summary of what was said, not said, and how it reveals that these criticisms are absolutely right.
Brussels, 4 February 2013 — Today starts "Licences for Europe", an initiative by the European Commission to discuss the issues of today's copyright regime. Instead of planning for a broad reform that would break away with full-on repression of cultural practices based on sharing and remixing, the Commission is setting up a parody of a debate. 75% of the participants to the working-group concerning "users" are affiliated with the industry1 and the themes and objectives are defined so as to ensure that the industry has its way and that nothing will change. Through this initiative, the EU Commission shows its contempt of the many citizens who participated in defeating ACTA and are still mobilized against repressive policies.
Paris, 17 January 2013 — In an Op-Ed in Libération (in French), Neelie Kroes, the European Commissioner for Internet-related policies, can be found giving in to telecom operator pressure and giving up on Net Neutrality. Ms. Kroes supports the creation of a fragmented Internet, banning innovation and opening the door to unacceptable censorship.
Paris, December 11th, 2012 — Today, the EU Parliament adopted two important resolutions underlining its commitment to protecting and promoting rights and freedoms on the Internet, especially on the issue of Net neutrality. La Quadrature du Net welcomes this vote by EU lawmakers, and urges the EU Commission as well as Member States to follow suit by enacting legislation to protect freedoms online and foster democracy as well as innovation.
For some months now, there have been intense discussions on the threats raised by the upcoming World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT). In December, the 193 Member States of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency of the United Nations, will gather in Dubaï for this important conference aimed at amending the ITU's founding treaty, the "International Telecommunication Regulations" (ITRs).
La Quadrature du Net publishes its non-answer to the EU body of telecoms regulators' (BEREC) consultation on Net Neutrality. It is not time for yet-another consultation on the EU Commission's failed "wait-and-see" policy aimed at letting telecom operators take control of the Internet by discriminating communications. The only way to protect a free Internet as well as freedoms and innovation online is to clearly enact and protect Net Neutrality in EU law.
Joint press release by 57 European and International organisations to invite Members of European Parliament to reject ACTA, and beyond, engage in a positive reform of copyright and patents.
ACTA threatens fundamental freedoms online, Net neutrality, innovation, access to and sharing of free/libre/open technologies, education, culture, essential medicines and seeds.
Brussels, May 30th, 2012 - In the first official assessement of the Internet access restrictions imposed by Internet access providers, EU telecom regulators depict a very alarming situation. The Internet as we know it is very much at threat, and the EU Commission's reluctance to take any resolute action on the matter is irresponsible. Like in the Netherlands where the Dutch Parliament adopted a Net Neutrality law earlier this month, Net Neutrality must be enacted into European law.
Paris, March 12th 2011 – BEREC, the body of EU telecoms regulators, has just published its preliminary findings1 regarding restrictions to Internet access imposed by operators across Europe.

Paris, February 6th, 2012 – The EU Commission is relentlessly defending ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, which faces widespread opposition in Europe and beyond. Falsely portraying ACTA as an acceptable agreement, the Commission is paving the way for its ultra-repressive copyright enforcement agenda, as revealed in documents just released. Citizens and their elected representatives across Europe must denounce this dangerous drift of the policy-making process, which is bound to undermine freedoms online and the very architecture of the Internet, and instead require a thorough reform of copyright.
Paris, December 9th, 2011 – The Netherlands are convening a high-profile conference to discuss freedoms online. As the United States and Europe pose as defenders of freedom online, La Quadrature recalls that their Internet policy is going in the other direction by supporting censorship, through the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement (ACTA) and other initiatives.

2 shot in Ocala barber shop robbery
Police said they are looking for a pair of men who robbed and shot two people inside a barber shop Saturday night.
Police were called to the Alpha Barbers at 1524 North Magnolia Avenue in Ocala around 11:59 p.m. Saturday.
Police said when they arrived, they found two men that had been shot inside the store.
Police said the victims told them two unknown men came into the shop and ordered them to hand over their cellphones and money.
After the robbery, the men were ordered to the ground where they were both shot by their assailants, police said.
Both men were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police said there was a surveillance system inside the shop, but it is unknown if the robbery or suspects were caught on camera.

The first day of winter may be almost a month away, but here in New York the temperatures suggest otherwise. For that reason I'm doing my best to stay in the holiday spirit by embracing the season with open arms, including crafting a winter playlist.
This playlist may not be Christmas music (I'm not quite there yet), but it does put me in a very wintery state of mind… and I mean that in an enjoyable way!
Fun fact: The track 'Paul' by Sarah Jaffe was actually written about my fiance! They're long-time best friends.
Lovelies, what's on your winter playlist?

Anonymous said: Why is London so shit, and why am I here instead of in San Francisco?
Your question is very interesting and unscientific, thank you for sharing it with me.
London is famous. Maybe it is one of the five or ten most famous places in the world. If you talk about London to someone, no one will ask you what animals live there because everyone knows that London is the famous country with the Queen. It has cool things like a clock, a wheel, music, shops and everything. It's not shit, because it's great.
Your question is interesting because you say something about San Francisco. I know San Francisco very well because I lived there. Did you ever live there? Sometimes people are sad because they can not live where they want to live, but it's because maybe they have a job that isn't there, or maybe they have a home that is somewhere else. Sometimes it's hard to leave your home and go somewhere else because you are not allowed to do it. There are so many reasons why people can not go somewhere, but these are mostly all of them. It is so hard, and people get very sad about it.
My advice is that you think about your favorite thing at the place you want to go to, and then you think about why it is stupid to be your favorite thing. Maybe if you live in San Francisco, your favorite thing in London is to go on the wheel. That is the most stupid thing to like! And the reason is: you have to wait so long to go on it! The second reason is: it is the worst thing if you fall! So now if you want to go to London because you want to go on the wheel, now you hate it!
My second advice is to think about something where you are, that you hate. Like maybe you hate the wheel in London because you have to stand in line for so long and you can fall. Well, that is the most stupid reason to hate it! And this is the reason: it's a wheel, and it's the best invention by humans. Imagine no one invented the wheel! Everyone says it's the most important thing. Oh, it's okay if the wheel isn't invented because cars are so bad for nature, right? But then imagine there is no letter O! The second good reason is: you can have a nice view from the top! It's the nicest view maybe, and it would make you happy. There are more reasons, but these are mostly all of them.
So now you know a reason to hate something you love and love something you hate. Now if you use the advice you can think of so many reasons to think that San Francisco is shit and London is really good. You can use it on anything, like on a city or a film or a person. You can write it down so you can remember it, and you can put it somewhere you can see it a lot, like maybe on your door. If you see it a lot, you can remember it too.
I hope you feel better.
I hate to fly. Actually that's a lie. I feel very ambiguous about flying. It's dumb because it's not your natural environment, because humans can't fly and their bodies get weird when they do and sometimes they fart, but also, flying is amazing because it's an unnatural environment and you see cool clouds and you get somewhere else and no one notices if you fart.
Flying is difficult also because you have to sit on the same chair all the time, and first it's okay, but then your body hurts a lot. Like your back and your neck. It's difficult to sleep on a plane too, so you are also tired. The food is sometimes okay, sometimes it's really bad, so that's bad too. Sometimes you need to sit next to someone you don't want to sit next to. Basically a lot of annoying stuff can happen.
I flew to Austria a while ago. You need to travel for a long time to get there. I had to travel 18 hours. I flew to London first. I flew to London because I decided to fly with Virgin Atlantic instead of Lufthansa. Virgin America is my favorite airline ever, and I thought if I fly Virgin Atlantic it would be like flying with Virgin America but much longer and better.
Virgin Atlantic is very different from Virgin America. It's like a completely different airline! They did everything differently, and I am going to write a review about it later.
I did a trick when I dropped off my luggage. It wasn't really a trick but maybe now it is. I had checked in online an hour or two before and chosen a window seat. I like the window seat because it has a window to look out of and it's good to lean against if you want to sleep. When you are a kid, you always fight with your sibling to have to window seat, so when you grow up it seems natural to take it. But on long flights, aisle seats are good too. They allow you to stand up without waking up the people next to you.
When you fly, drinking a lot of water is the most important thing in the world. It's because of science stuff, like something about you sitting a long time and the air pressure and your blood and stuff. If you don't drink enough water and move you could die!!! But most people don't know that. They fly and they try extra hard to not drink water because peeing on the airplane is dumb (because you need to wake up the people next to you to stand up). But I drink a lot of water (you need to buy it before you go on, because on the plane you only get small glasses, but my trick is usually that I ask them to fill my water bottle with their water bottle, because have you ever bought water at the airport? It's very expensive), so I need to pee a lot and get up a lot. So basically I decided I want to change from my window seat to an aisle seat. I went to drop off my luggage and told the man that I want to change to an aisle seat. He changed me, and then I got the best seat ever - in the aisle in the middle of the first row! So no one was in front of me and I had more leg room, but the kind where I can prop up my legs against a wall. Cool!
I did something that is maybe illegal. I took an orange in my bag and took it with me until Austria. I went into security, but no one noticed it. So I took it on my flight. But my suspicion is that they secretly saw it and they made a note about it on my file. Then when I come back through immigration they would use it against me and never let me back inside the States because they would have said I'm a smuggler of fruit and maybe drugs (they would have invented the drugs part, but prove them wrong! You can't!!). But it didn't happen, so that is cool.
The end.

Oscar Mayer Rolls Out Pulled Pork
New 'Carving Board' products include Hickory Smoked and Sweet & Spicy
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Earlier this week, renowned pitmaster Brad Orrison, of Mississippi's The Shed BBQ and Food Network's Best in Smoke, stopped by The Daily Meal offices to whip up some "walking tacos" showcasing his barbecue sauce along with Oscar Mayer's newest product, pulled pork.
As a part of their new "Carving Board" line of products (which also includes chicken breast, turkey breast, roast beef, and ham), pulled pork is a no-brainer. Just pop it in the microwave with some sauce, load it up onto a roll, and you've got dinner. Orrison took a decidedly different approach, though, opening up a bag of BBQ potato chips and adding in the pork, his restaurant's signature sauce, black olives, and coleslaw. They call it "Pork by Fork."
So how does the new product measure up? You won't confuse it with real down-home country barbecue, but it certainly gets the job done. The hickory smoke flavor comes through, and there are big chunks of pork (complete with bark) in each 11.5-ounce container. I wouldn't try to fool your friends with it, but as far as grocery store smoked pulled pork goes, Oscar Mayer's was a pleasant surprise.

The OM Carving Board is the best. It's a bit pricey, but after
having CB the thin sliced meats, just aren't as good.
I found the Ham is the best of any, I have ever tasted.
Looking forward to try the pulled pork.
Off the subject.....I will miss Hostess, it is so much better

Ornette! by Ornette Coleman 1961
A classic of modern jazz which i have owned on vinyl since teenage years; a bold strident cover design in addition.
Brian Olewnick wrote on allmusic:
Recorded a little over a month after his groundbreaking work Free Jazz, this album found Coleman perhaps retrenching from that idea conceptually, but nonetheless plumbing his quartet music to ever greater heights of richness and creativity. Ornette! was the first time bassist Scott LaFaro recorded with Coleman, and the difference in approach between LaFaro and Charlie Haden is apparent from the opening notes of "W.R.U." There is a more direct propulsion and limberness to his playing, and he can be heard driving Coleman and Don Cherry actively and more aggressively than Haden's warm, languid phrasing. The cuts, with titles derived from the works of Sigmund Freud, are all gems and serve as wonderful launching pads for the musicians' improvisations. Coleman, by this time, was very comfortable in extended pieces, and he and his partners have no trouble filling in the time, never coming close to running out of ideas. Special mention should be made of Ed Blackwell, with one of his finest performances. Ornette! is a superb release and a must for all fans of Coleman and creative improvised music in general.

" Sandisk MobileMate SD Plus - Card reader ( MMC, SD, miniSD, RS-MMC, MMCmobile, microSD, MMCplus, SDHC, miniSDHC, microSDHC ) - Hi-Speed USB "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I travel frequently and therefore take a fairly large amount of pictures, but never take my laptop on trips for me to upload my pictures. Instead of carrying around the appropriate leads and risk losing them I gathered I might as well buy an SD card reader to plug into hostel/foreign computers.
I didn't exactly research much into them or shop around, just picked up the MobileMate SD+ from Curry's for about £12, although I'm sure it is cheaper now. It's no bigger than a cigarette lighter, with a loop to attach a lanyard or tie it to your bag, and comes with software and instructions. Why it comes with instructions is beyond me, as it's so simple to use. Simply plug it in to the USB port of a computer after inserting your memory card and the plug-and-play facility lets you upload your pictures immediately. It's so easy that I've even become so lazy as to do that even when I'm at home, forgetting about finding my leads and using the proper software!
I'm taking it around the world with me later this year, to cut down on packing space, and it's universal rather than a singular camera lead which if I lose then I'd be stuck. Also, if this gets lost it's a mere £10(approx) to replace it, which i'm relatively sure would be less and easier than finding the identical lead if that were to go missing.
It certainly isn't a product that will change your life, but if you're on the travel a lot and want to update friends and family back home then the MobileMate has to be recommended for sure ease.
Sharing music, video, photos and personal data between your phone and your PC is faster and more convenient with SanDisk's compact MobileMate Readers. Ideal for memory-enabled mobile phone users and photo travel needs, flash memory cards can be plugged directly into the readers. No card adapters are required. The MobileMate Readers are so compact, they can easily fit in your pocket so transferring information on the go is a breeze. All SanDisk MobileMate Readers support standard and high performance Ultra II, Extreme III and Extreme IV memory cards.

For The Mini Countryman blends the retro style that Mini buyers love with enough practicality for a small family. All versions are frugal and well equipped.
Against It isn't as much fun to drive as other Mini models, the ride is unsettled and some versions are very pricey.
What Car? says
The Mini Countryman is the only Mini that's a viable prospect for a growing family, but there are much better alternatives for the money. By Steve Huntingford
What Car? readers say
Buying a car? Need Help?Get in touch
There are 46 Mini Countryman versions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There are plenty of other choices to be made once you've chosen the Mini Countryman. First, you have to choose an engine. The One has 97bhp, the Cooper has 120bhp, and the turbocharged Cooper S has 181bhp. There are diesel versions, too – the One D has 89bhp and the Cooper D has 110bhp, while the SD has 141bhp. There's even an outrageous 215bhp JCW hot hatch version. All things considered, though, we prefer the entry-level diesel.
The amount of kit you get will depend on your engine choice, but all versions come with air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, roof rails, Bluetooth and a DAB radio with a USB input. That's not bad considering that Mini is often quite stingy with equipment.
Being a Mini, there are also has a dizzying range of options and accessories to choose from. We'd recommend that you take Mini up on their offer of the TLC servicing package. For a nominal, one-off fee, this takes care of all the costs from your first few services.

Common Core
Teaching ideas based on New York Times content.
Each Friday we collaborate with a classroom in New Jersey to test and publish three short writing ideas that address Common Core Standards and that are grounded in New York Times content.
This week, all three prompts focus on the common theme of life on a coastline — a topic of great importance to our classroom collaborators, who recently went through weeks of disruption because of Hurricane Sandy.
Even if you live nowhere near a coast, however, we hope you can find something here that interests your students, whether investigating the notion of "home," learning about what life is like for those who are still refugees from the 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan, or reading about a dispute between the United States and Canada.

Great Falls, Va. • Rick Santorum was, in his own words, a "nominal Catholic" when he met Karen Garver, a neonatal nurse and law student, in 1988. As they made plans to marry and he decided to enter politics, she sent him to her father for advice.
Kenneth L. Garver was a Pittsburgh pediatrician who specialized in medical genetics. The patriarch of a large Roman Catholic family, he had treated patients considering abortion, but was strongly opposed to it.
"We sat across the table and the whole evening we talked about this issue," Santorum told an anti-abortion group last October. He left, he said, convinced "that there was only one place to be, from the standpoint of science as well as from the standpoint of faith."
For Santorum, a Republican candidate for president, that conversation was an early step on a path into a deeply conservative Catholic culture that has profoundly influenced his life as a husband, father and politician. During the past two decades, he has undergone a religious transformation that is now spurring a national conversation about faith in the public sphere.
On the campaign trail, he has attacked President Barack Obama for "phony theology," warned of the "dangers of contraceptives," and rejected John F. Kennedy's call for strict separation of church and state. His bold expressions of faith could affect his support on Super Tuesday, possibly helping with conservative Christians, especially in the South, but scaring off voters uncomfortable mixing so much religion in politics.
Central to Santorum's spiritual life is his wife, whom he calls "the rock which I stand upon." Before marrying, the couple decided to recommit themselves to their Catholic faith — a turnabout for Karen Santorum, who had been romantically involved with a well-known abortion provider in Pittsburgh and openly supported abortion rights, according to several people who knew her then.
The Santorums went on to have eight children, including a son who died two hours after birth in 1996 and a daughter, now 3, who has a life-threatening genetic disorder. Unlike Catholics who believe that church doctrine should adapt to changing times and needs, the Santorums believe in a highly traditional Catholicism that adheres fully to what scholars call "the teaching authority" of the pope and his bishops.
"He has a strong sense of that," said George Weigel, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, where Santorum had a fellowship after losing his bid for re-election to the Senate in 2006. "He's the first national figure of some significance who's on that side of the Catholic conversation."
The Santorums' beliefs are reflected in a succession lifestyle decisions, including eschewing birth control, home-schooling their younger children and sending the older boys to a private academy affiliated with Opus Dei, an influential Catholic movement that emphasizes spiritual holiness.
As members of St. Catherine of Siena, a parish here in the wealthy northern Virginia suburb of Great Falls, the Santorums are immersed in a community where large families are not uncommon, and many mothers leave behind careers to dedicate themselves to child-rearing, as Karen Santorum has. Rick Santorum has been on the church roster as a lector, reading Scripture from the pulpit.
The parish is known for its Washington luminaries — Justice Antonin Scalia of the Supreme Court is a member — as well as its spiritual ardor. Mass is offered in Latin every Sunday at noon — most parishes have Mass only in English — and each Wednesday, parishioners take turns praying nonstop for 24 hours before a consecrated communion wafer, a demanding practice known as Eucharistic adoration. The Santorum campaign did not respond to interview requests about the couple's beliefs, and their pastors declined to comment. But friends say Santorum believes he is in a "moment of testing" and feels "a calling to be faithful," regardless of whether he wins the nomination. One friend, Frank Schoeneman, sees Santorum as carrying out a vow he made to live a life that would make Gabriel, the child he lost, proud.
"Rick found himself in his faith and he found himself in Karen," said Schoeneman, who has known Santorum for more than 20 years. "He isn't like one of these born-again people where you get hit in the head by some televangelist and you suddenly see the light. It's been an evolution. He's always been a Catholic, and he's always been faithful, but he's never been at this level of faith."
The family fold
Church on Sunday was a way of life in Butler, the western Pennsylvania town where Santorum grew up. But by the time he met his future wife, sports and politics were at the center of his world. He was working in Pittsburgh, at the prestigious law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, and recruited Garver, then a University of Pittsburgh law student, for a summer internship.
Fair-skinned and auburn-haired, she was from a Pittsburgh family of 11 children, some of whom followed their father's path into medicine. Garver was well known in Pittsburgh for a practice that included prenatal testing.
But Garver, those who knew her say, had broken with her family, and her Catholic faith, over her relationship with Tom Allen, a doctor who founded Pittsburgh's first abortion clinic.
Garver and Allen spent six years together, but she left him when she met Santorum. Her relationship with the politically conservative, aspiring politician brought the young woman back into the family fold — and seemed to change her political orientation.
"It's a total 180," Herbert Greenberg said. "Her change could not be more extreme."
God and the Senate
Rick Santorum often says that before he and Karen Santorum married in 1990, they had long talks about the life they wanted to build: a large family, a relationship with God. Their views were so close that one former aide likened them to "two halves of a circle coming together."
Santorum's religious beliefs would come to infuse every aspect of his political life — not just his views on social issues such as abortion, but also his work to overhaul the welfare system, increase financing to fight AIDS in Africa and promote religious freedom. "He is passionate about all of these issues, which all come from a deep faith," said Mike DeWine, the Ohio attorney general who served with Santorum in the Senate.
But at the outset of his career, Santorum was not particularly guided by the tenets of the church. A former law school classmate, Charlene Bashore, recalls him saying when he ran for the U.S. House in 1990 that while he opposed abortion, "he didn't see himself as a leader in the cause."
Santorum was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1994. He likes to say he found God there.
In the speech to the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation last October, he described himself as having arrived "almost exhausted, just having poured it all out to get where I thought wanted to go." Faith, he said, "was sort of a part of me; I went to church, I could check all the boxes, but it wasn't at the center of my life."
His more spiritual path, he said, was prompted in part by a hallway encounter with Don Nickles, then a Republican senator from Oklahoma, who urged Santorum to attend a Bible study with fellow senators. And the Santorums moved to northern Virginia, where they ultimately found a spiritual home at St. Catherine of Siena.
"We ended up moving into a neighborhood and joining a parish where the priest was just amazing — an absolutely amazing pastor who just energized us and filled us with the Holy Spirit," Santorum told the anti-abortion group. "Over the course of that time, I just saw changes in me and changes in Karen."
The loss of the Santorums' son Gabriel, in 1996 — just as the senator was leading the fight in Congress to ban the procedure that opponents call partial-birth abortion — was devastating for the couple. Karen Santorum was nearly 20 weeks pregnant; doctors discovered a fetal anomaly. After a risky operation, she developed an infection and took antibiotics, which the couple knew would result in the birth of a baby who would not survive.
Critics likened it to an abortion, but in a 1997 interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer, Rick Santorum said that was not the case. Schoeneman, the couple's friend, said the death convinced them that "God had a purpose in Gabriel's life, and they were going to live out that purpose in their lives." Both Santorums began speaking out more strongly against abortion; Karen Santorum became prominent in her own right after publishing a 1998 book, Letters to Gabriel.
In the Senate, Santorum started a prayer group and would go on to help convert a fellow senator, Sam Brownback, now the governor of Kansas, to Catholicism.
After Santorum's re-election in 2000, the family traveled to Rome, where they had a private audience with Pope John Paul II.
"He said to the pope, 'Father, you're a great man,' " Schoeneman said, recounting the session as Santorum told it to him. "And the pope turned to him, because Rick at this point had all six children sitting there, and he said, 'No, you're a great man.'
"And it was like a message from God," Schoeneman said, "that he was living his life in the right way, that his path was correct."
'For the sake of our souls'
Santorum made another trip to Rome in 2002, this time to speak at a centenary celebration of the birth of St. Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei. In a little-noticed interview there with The National Catholic Reporter, he said that John F. Kennedy had caused "much harm to America" with his 1960 speech calling for strict separation of church and state.
That remark foreshadowed the candidate's recent comment — he said the Kennedy speech "makes me throw up" — which set off controversy and made some Catholics wince. It grew out of Santorum's view that libertine culture has put the United States and American Catholics on a path toward moral decline.
In a 2002 essay, Santorum wrote that too many Catholics had been exposed to "uninspired, watered-down versions of our faith" and that it was time for more committed Catholics to reclaim religious institutions, including colleges, schools and hospitals, "for the sake of our souls."
Many Catholics take strong issue with Santorum's approach to their faith. Santorum, polls show, has lost the Catholic vote in every primary contest so far, some by wide margins.
Garry Wills, a cultural historian and professor emeritus at Northwestern University, is among many Catholics whose touchstone is the Second Vatican Council from 1962-1965, which opened up Catholicism to the modern era and proclaimed that the church is its people, not just the pope and his bishops.
"Santorum is not a Catholic, but a papist," Wills wrote in an email.
Santorum's defenders say there is nothing troubling about his approach to faith and politics. "What he is saying is something very simple: I should not shed my moral beliefs when I walk in the Oval Office," said DeWine, who is also Catholic.
To listen to Santorum speak to an audience of the faithful is to hear a man for whom God is at the center of everything. In his talk to the anti-abortion group last October, as his presidential campaign was just beginning to heat up, he likened himself to his special-needs daughter, Bella — a child capable, he said, of nothing but love.
"I think, 'That's me with the Father,' " Santorum said then. "I am profoundly disabled in his eyes. I can do nothing for Him, except love Him."

Event detail
Installation of inflatable entities for people to explore
The artist has made inflatable 'entities' tailored to the ways in which visitors move around the Art Lacuna Space. Visitors will be encouraged to touch the inflatables to appreciate them fully, which the artist hopes will also undermine the forbidding aura which can surround some contemporary art.
The inflatable entities will cycle between two distinct states - noisy boisterous inflation followed by quiet reflective deflation. Alternating, in turn, between being loud and rude, and as quiet as a grave.
Tracey's aim is for the installation to provide a free and exciting environment where people can wander, speculate and phantasise with the inflatables operating in a similar way to giant 3-dimensional rorschach blots - bringing unconscious fears and desires into the lit space of consciousness.
