A Celebration Of Nows, Part I
Life can be many things – beautiful, messy, sweaty, mysterious, still. But more than anything else, it's now. Over the past three weeks, we've been celebrating your nows – those moments when you turn intention into action, let your heart do the driving, fully show up for everything that's possible and put your practice into practice – beyond the mat.
#NowStartsNow is your invitation to the moment, and we're inspired by what you – bright, brave, wild you – do with it. Here are some of your Nows that have inspired us along the way, including Christie McNabb, Liz Sherrer, Christine Durrant, Sarah Crowe, and Priscilla Ann who receive a special suite of Manduka gear as our thank you.

Yes!! Instead of sitting in front of the computer and stressing over my to-do list and then of course not getting any of it done, I biked to work! My bike, Cordelia, and I took a gorgeous trip all over the island I live on and had our first bridge crossing! At the end of the ride I taught a relaxing and loving restorative yoga class to help people close up their week and ease into a new one. I'm so happy that I fought my usual type A tendencies to get everything done that minute and make everything perfect. Instead I enjoyed the moment, got my body moving, and breathed in our salty bay air. Now I'm ready for Monday. #NowStartsNow

I've been stagnated in my job and am working to secure a new opportunity in a new city. I am scared of a huge change, even though I have made several HUGE changes in my young life. Now I have a child, my partner and I have dual careers to consider, and I feel somewhat settled. I know a change is the right thing for all of us, but getting there is terrifying. Yoga keeps me centered, balanced, and confident. I don't do it as much as I want or should, but I always feel better when I do. I would love some new gear to support my practice and move my family forward. Thanks for the chance. #NowStartsNow

When I am following my heart, I am able to use the strength, compassion and courage I gain on my mat and go out into the world and make a lasting change. Last week I had a great opportunity to attend the Supporting Student Resiliency in Trauma-Sensitive Schools conference. There were some pretty amazing speakers and a national panel of educators all talking about the great changes they have made in schools. Hearing words like mindfulness, restorative practices, trauma compassionate & wellness centers, make my heart skip a beat. A shift is coming and I am so excited to see it happening. Change starts from compassion, it is fueled by passion and it lasts from connecting to others. Follow your passion, follow your heart, #NowStartsNow
I have spent years doing what i thought i should, or what everyone else expected of me. It left me lost and lonely. It took a dramatic event to awaken me. I found my passion & continue to move forward & reinvent myself…This is YOUR life. It is YOUR choice. No one will choose for you...and that is a beautiful thing.
Christie McNabb
When I originally heard about this contest, I dreamed of extravagant pictures in the woods, beautiful shots of yoga poses at sunrise and the like. But this is the truth of my now, the truth of how my yoga practice keeps me going.
In a year that has been tougher than most, I've experienced temporary homelessness, moving, relying on a bike for my sole transportation, cockroaches and now, in a gracious gift from my neighbor: bed bugs. My sweet, peaceful sanctuary in a crazy world has to once again be packed and bagged and piled. And, although I may sob while I do it, I'm trying to draw on that deep reserve of strength we begin to realize we contain while on the mat, and allow my breath to carry me through.
Here I sit in meditation amongst all my belongings, in trash bags destined for either the dumpster or the laundry mat.
It's not pretty, but it's real.

#nowstartsnow this is my practice right now. A season of savasana. A knee injury sidelined me 5 weeks ago. The morning of my injury I chose yoga over sleeping in. I had the most grateful & present practice. I was grateful for my body & amazed at what it could do. The night of my injury, as I lay on the snowy sidewalk waiting for the ambulance, I practiced as well. This time with deep, healing, ujjayi breaths. And for the past 6 weeks (and for a few more) I practice savasana. I rest in gratefulness. Grateful for that last "official" practice before I was hurt, grateful for the natural response of my body to use breath I have learned in yoga to keep me conscious & focus through the pain, grateful for a season of rest, and grateful for the coming season of getting back to my favorite asanas. (This photo is my savasana while my knee is being iced after a particularly tough and victorious session with my physical therapist.)

Easter holidays and taking a break from yoga teacher training to be a big kid with my son. Life's to short to be serious all the time, even on my manduka mat the odd laugh appears with a wobble and a face plant which is why I love yoga #nowstartsnow
Elisabeth T. Lilja, @etlyoga
When you wake up in the morning do you tell you tell yourself you are beautiful? Do you tell yourself that you are enough? Do you tell yourself you are absolutely perfect the way you are?
I invite you every morning to place your hand on your heart and tell yourself:
I am beautiful.
I am enough.
I am absolutely perfect the way I am.
This mantra doesn't mean that you can't grow...what it means is you should give yourself more love.

"What time is it?" I asked my son Wyatt. I couldn't see the clock. He said something that I couldn't hear. I got closer and asked again. He looked at me with his big brown eyes and said "It's now Mom." This concept is not new to my house so I shouldn't have been surprised. We talk to our children about the future and the past but are careful to explain that life happens this very moment, right now we say.
Through all of my health problems and surgeries (24) I have learned not to anticipate the future or dwell on the past. If I did that I don't think I would have ever made it. The Now is where I choose to hang out. It's so alive and vibrant here in the Now.
Here's to you my blessed son Wyatt Oscar Saluti.
Happy Birthday to a shining bundle of light and love. Tx you for reminding to suck the life out of each second I am on this earth.

It takes courage to jump into the unknown, but you don't get to fly if you stand still. #NowStartsNow so take the leap!
Kristen O'Brien, @keobrien12
Did a short meditation once I got home today to clear my mind and set an intention. Friday and Saturday are my last days of class to become a certified academic language therapist. I have a book report and a huge paper to finish by Thursday. I am so excited for all my hard work to pay off. I can't wait to improve the lives of so many children during my teaching career. #NowStartsNow - I am driven to finish this & start the next chapter of my teacher career. I'm also super excited to drink a margarita on Saturday to celebrate!
Liz Sherrer
We have this amazing opportunity to move to Germany. We have moved a lot throughout our marriage, but this upcoming move has by far been the most complicated. There are so many things we have to plan for, so many thing we have to do in preparation, it is HARD. I have an easy option, I could just not go. But in the end that would cause so much heartbreak, knowing I missed out on an amazing opportunity because it got a little hard.
Manduka (the company that makes my favorite yoga mat) is starting a movement. They are calling it "now starts now." They are asking people to share what is stirring inside of them, how they are planning on showing up for life – it cannot be coincidence. I feel like I've just received the most timely invitation – to live life without fear of hard things, of pain, of disappointment. To live life full throttle with a zest for adventure and a spirit of love.
So with that said I'm going to do the hard things. I'm going to move overseas and live an adventure.
See Liz's full blog post "I'm Saying Goodbye To A Fear Of Hard Things" here.
Now it's your turn! We're reading your stories, tweeting your Tweets and hearting your Instagrams. For three more weeks, we'll choose five more yogis who share their #NowStartsNow to receive a suite of Manduka gear from the new spring collection. Share your now as a post to our Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and be sure to tag @MandukaYoga and #NowStartsNow.
Now is your one, wild & true life. What will you do with it?

Now Tastes Good
#NowStartsNow by Whitney & Danielle of Sakara Life
You know when the volume of crazy in your day is so overwhelmingly loud that it leaves you breathless? Or when you can't stand in line for a cozy cup of coffee (or tea!) without grabbing for your phone? How about when your phone battery dies unexpectedly - are you restless, stressed, and even a little frantic?
Unfortunately, our lives are constantly filled with distractions these days, rather than nourishment. And if there is one thing we've learned from living, working, and trying to achieve balance in NYC is how essential it is to nourish the NOW.
A huge part of nourishment is, of course, food– and being conscious of what you put into your body and how this affects every area of your life is integral not only to your health, but also your happiness. We consciously eat to nourish, not to fill emptiness. We consciously create rituals around food, bringing loving presence to the preparation and taste of these building blocks of our bodies. Now tastes good and now feels good.
Nourishing ourselves for optimal health also means investing in our creativity, curiosity, discovery, and relationships. Challenging yourself to learn something new, connecting with a loved one you haven't spoken to in a while, waking up half an hour earlier to spend some quiet time in your body, or resting just a bit longer in Savasana….all of these practices require slowing down, living in the present, and nourishing the now.
The word 'sakara' is Sanskrit for "the manifestation of thoughts to things"– bringing what you desire and think into creation. This is our North Star, our home base, and our inspiration– to turn intention into action and help people transform their lives by changing how they nourish themselves.
From food is the enemy to food is medicine; from I will to I am; someday to today. This shift in awareness is the first step in creating everything you desire. It can be a hard first step to take because it requires acknowledging that everything you want is already in you, you just have to make the decision to acknowledge it.
Right now, this very second, you can make the choice– head down in your phone or head up saying hello to the person in front of you. Holding your breath, or breathing. Nourishing your body with clean, whole foods, medicinal herbs, and love.
Your choice, your now.
How will you nourish it?
Sakara Co-founders, Whitney and Danielle, grew up together in the beautiful town of Sedona, Arizona, where they were exposed to the benefits of natural eating and holistic health from an early age. After moving to New York, they knew they needed to share their knowledge with the fast-paced, delivery-loving, eat-outers of Manhattan. Get to know their organic meal delivery system at http://www.sakaralife.com/ and follow their adventures on Instagram at @SakaraLifeNYC.
We want to hear about your now – how you are living this moment as your bold, beautiful, wild and true self. Explore off the mat, start something new, put your self out there and share on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram tagging #NowStartsNow and @MandukaYoga. You might receive a custom gift of Manduka gear from the new spring collection as our thank you! Learn more here.

Featured Retailer: Wefit Greece
Came back late from work? have no energy? not eating or sleeping well these days? These can only be excuses keeping you back.
At wefit.gr we want to motivate and inspire people to break their monotonous routines and follow a more active and balanced lifestyle with the end result being a sense a satisfaction and happiness.
Wefit was born a year ago in Athens, Greece by a group of friends willing to challenge their routines and follow their dream.
So the idea was born and the first three services are now complete and operational.
- A news service with original articles relating to fitness, health and nutrition aiming to motivate and inspire our readers
- A fitness directory with over 500 venues in Athens from which you can choose between gyms, clubs and studios where you can practice your sport, hobby or passion amongst similar minded people.
- An eshop where you can gear up with selected products all suitable to support your fitness needs.
Being an online retailer we rarely had the chance to meet and greet our clients but it all chanced since we started to stock the Manduka range. Our customers wanted to see and feel the products. By this way we got to know our clients who soon became our friends that share the same passions as we do, and we love it.
So if you are ever in the neighbourhood don't hesitate to visit us.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Food recalls in the third quarter affected nearly six times as many units as the previous three-month period, according to the quarterly ExpertRECALL™ Index, released today. The ExpertRECALL Index also found that pharmaceutical and medical device recalls increased while recalls for children's and infants' products and consumer goods hit surprising five-quarter lows.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111103/PH99443)
Undeclared allergens remained the leading factor in initiating food recalls, as more than 50 percent of all food products were recalled for this reason during the third quarter. Listeria-related recalls were the second-leading cause, accounting for 25 percent of all food recalls listed on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's website between July and September.
"Based on third-quarter recall activity, product safety remains a hot topic among consumers, manufacturers, retailers and regulators," said Mike Rozembajgier, Vice President of Recalls at Stericycle ExpertRECALL. "Now, as we enter the holiday season, everyone should be reminded of their role in supporting consumer safety to make sure that not only the products we use, but also the gifts we give, are safe for everyone."
"Manufacturers and retailers must pay close attention to consumer safety and be more diligent when communicating with consumers, particularly as shoppers increase their purchases during the holiday season," added Rozembajgier. "And while regulators will need to pay close attention to product safety complaints, particularly about the hottest gifts of the season, consumers need to keep their eyes and ears open for recall announcements about not only the products they buy for themselves, but also about the gifts they are giving."

Oakland Raiders vs. Miami Dolphins By the Numbers
The Oakland Raiders loss to the Miami Dolphins was ugly to say the least. They could not run the ball or stop the run, two essentials you need to succeed in the NFL. Sometimes the stats don't tell the whole story, but if you know which numbers to look at, you can tell the story of any game. Here are eight numbers that explain why Oakland lost Sunday.
0- Oakland did not force a single turnover from rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill. A week after intercepting three passes and tipping numerous others at the line, the Raiders could not do either of those two things and allowed Tannehill to complete 18 of 30 passes. The Raiders only turned it over once, but regardless Oakland needs to create better opportunities for its offense.
1- The Raiders only converted a single third down in 12 opportunities. That is just pathetic for an NFL team. The lone conversion came on a 12-play, 81-yard drive that ended with a field goal. The inability to convert on those opportunities stalled a couple of promising drives and also did not allow Oakland to win the field-position battle in the punting game.
2- The number of drives Oakland started beyond its own 20-yard line. For comparison, Miami had only one drive start from inside its 20-yard line. The Dolphins won the field position battle big-time, and trapped inside their own territory, the Raiders offense was inept for the most part and barely moved the ball past midfield. Only about half of Oakland's drives crossed the midfield stripe, including the one that started in Miami territory.
9- Shane Lechler got a lot of work with nine punts of 13 Oakland drives. Only two of those drives were three-and-outs, but the Raiders inability to move the ball gave Lechler more work than he would have liked. It did not help that Lechler was punting from deep in his own territory most of the time and therefore could not use his leg to flip the field as much as Oakland would have liked. Lechler averaged 47 yards on his punts, which is two yards below his average from last season, but it is also hard to punt well nine times in a game.
14- The Raiders ran 62 plays against the Dolphins, but only 14 were on the ground. That equates to roughly one out of every five plays being a running play. It was easy for the Miami defense to key in on the pass when the running game was rarely used. When Oakland did run the ball, the offensive line was unable to create holes for the running back and the Raiders ended up with 23 rushing yards.
22- Darren McFadden only got 11 carries which is nowhere near enough for him, but he only managed 22 yards on those carries. Some of the blame can be placed on the offensive line not being able to open up holes for him, but when your longest run on the day is four yards there are other issues. McFadden has not looked the same since coming back from the foot injury he suffered last year, and it may still be bothering him. He is not as explosive as he was before and he is getting replaced by Mike Goodson more and more during the game, even when it is not third down.
95- We knew Reggie Bush was a good running back, but not good enough to run for 95 yards and two 20-plus-yard touchdowns in one quarter. His third-quarter performance was capped by a 65-yard scamper to put the Dolphins up two scores late in the quarter, a lead Oakland would never touch. It was a large part of his 172-yard game Sunday and solidified how bad the Raiders' defense was against the rush.
263- Any time a team runs for more than 200 yards in a game, they're probably going to win and Miami was no exception. The Dolphins' 263 yards on the ground came on just 43 carries, good for a six-yard average per carry. Miami controlled the ball for more than 34 minutes and scored four times on the ground against the porous Oakland defense. The performance was only half of Miami's complete domination of the trenches.
Oakland's bonus number is 0, as in a record of 0-2. Oakland needs to correct most of these stats if it wants a chance to win some football games.

While this might be a defensive response to threats made by authorities to remove the animals, she said it seems more deeply rooted. "Once the number of animals has overwhelmed their ability to provide adequate food, shelter and veterinary care, they cannot admit the need for help," said Steketee.
Steketee and colleagues recently interviewed animal hoarders for a study and found that many came from chaotic childhood environments and had problems with early attachment experiences with the parental figures in their lives. They also had more mental health concerns and dysfunctional relationships as adults.
"It is a sad situation because they began with the best of intentions and have failed to meet these," said Steketee. "They deserve our concern, not our wrath, unless they are among the few who are actively cruel toward animals."
Some social workers and veterinarians hope the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, slated for release in May 2013, will include an entry on hoarding. Recognition as a distinct disorder in this reference book will give the mental health community a better understanding of the problem and spur more treatment and resources, these advocates say.
With millions of unwanted pets nationwide, amassing large numbers of dogs, cats, and other sentient creatures isn't difficult. Experts say some hoarders develop a reputation as someone who will accept unwanted pets, or the animals they already own breed year after year. Others actively seek animals from shelters and individuals by perusing print and online classified ads and adoption websites.
Some hoarders also create websites to masquerade as reputable rescue organizations in order to obtain animals, said Gary Patronek, veterinarian and vice president for animal welfare at the Animal Rescue Leagu

"This jacket only has 60 grams of 3M™ Thinsulate™. This is a very mild winter jacket. For -10 degree weather, I would recommend the Burton ak BK Insulator Jacket as a mid layer jacket, for that type of cold. You will still need the Oakley jacket to go over the Burton ak BK Insulator Jacket to give you waterproofing. Another jacket you can use is the Lib Tech Totally Down Insulated Snowboard Jacket, by-itself, since it has waterproofing as well. You want to make sure you are layering properly and have a jacket with plenty of insulation. We are here in Florida as well ;)."

Trial Design and ResultsThe PREGNANT (PROCHIEVE Extending GestatioN A New Therapy) study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PROCHIEVE® (progesterone gel) to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with a short cervical length as measured by transvaginal ultrasound between 19 and <24 weeks of gestation. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 465 healthy pregnant women between the ages of 15 and 45 at 44 sites in 10 countries. Nearly half the subjects were based in the U.S. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either PROCHIEVE or placebo vaginal gel once daily from 20-24 weeks gestation until 37 weeks gestation, preterm rupture of membranes or delivery, whichever occurred first. Women self-administered the progesterone gel study drug or gel placebo once daily in the morning.
The primary endpoint was a reduction in the rate of preterm birth before 33 weeks gestation. This endpoint was chosen because the highest frequency of neonatal morbidity occurs with preterm neonates delivered prior to this gestational age. The incidence of preterm births was also evaluated before 28, 35 and 37 weeks gestation. Analysis was by intention to treat, including all women randomized, and excluding patients lost to follow-up.
Results showed that women treated with PROCHIEVE had a significantly lower risk of preterm birth before 33 weeks gestation compared to those who

Immigrant Communities
National Park Service
A 1912 map of Lowell shows five major immigrant communities scattered in clusters around the city. Little Canada, which bordered the Northern Canal, had become the primary neighborhood for French Canadians. Greeks concentrated in the Acre along Market Street, while Poles, Portuguese, and Russian Jews had their own enclave within each of these areas, ethnic institutions evolved that catered to the needs of the immigrant group. Ethnic churches were the foremost of these, with a French-Canadian Catholic Church and a Greek Orthodox Church, among others, serving their communities. Parochial schools passed on the native tongue and insured that the American-born generation did not stray too far from the ways of the homeland. Adults also had their cultural institutions: Greek coffee houses and French-Canadian social clubs contributed to the cosmopolitan air of pre-World War I Lowell.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1932 Ford roadster
Plenty of nice Deuce roadster street rods come up for sale all the time, but this particular 1932 Ford roadster for sale on Hemmings.com has a few attributes that set it apart. To begin with, it uses an original Ford steel body – not from fiberglass, not a replica steel body. Roy Brizio built it, which accounts for how nice, neat and professional it appears. And it's seen plenty of miles under those tires with Steve Coonan of The Rodders Journal at the wheel. From the seller's description:
I got this roadster approximately 7 years ago, not long after we started referring to it as the "Rodder's Journal Roadster". It was originally built for Rich Dederian by Brizio Street Rods back in the late 1990s. Rich has been a hot rodder since the 1950s and even had a flathead-powered channeled Deuce roadster in one of Petersen's Trend one-shot books back in the '50s. He had known Roy for years since both of them are from Northern California.
Rich sent Roy a nice original '32 roadster body and had him build the Deuce highboy of his dreams. He had only put about 7000 miles on it when I acquired it. I loved the car, but wanted to change a few things to make it more of my own. My favorite '32 highboys have always been the Tom McMullen, Gary Kessler and Barry Lobeck roadsters. My goal was to give this car the same flavor, but with straight black paint. My goal with the roadster I now have was to retain all of the great driving characteristics that Brizio cars are well known for while giving it as much of the McMullen/Kessler/Lobeck-style look as possible.
The first year I had it, I added the rear frame horns a stock-style gas tank and a new full-length grille shell and insert. This work was done at Brizio Street Rods. I also changed the exhaust system, and made a bunch of other small changes to change the aesthetics to more my taste and make the car as suitable as possible for both long-distance rod runs and around town cruising.
More recently the 9-inch Ford rear and coilovers have been removed and replaced with a Model A crossmember, Model A spring and a Winters V8 quickchange with the early Ford style bells. California Street Rods in Huntington Beach, California, performed this work. This year the top end of the engine has also been updated. Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads were installed along with a new Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. I have also tried to backdate the appearance of the engine to give it a mid-to-late '60s' vibe. I have always loved the idea of having a Deuce highboy with a muscle car type drivetrain. I like the look, feel and performance of the era. Moon finned-aluminum valve covers and a GM hi-po-style air cleaner were installed with this in mind.
This year I have also had Sid Chavers custom fit one of his new Bop-Tops. I love driving the car without a top, but I do like the extra protection from the sun and rain. The new top proved to be worth its weight in gold in a recent trip to Texas for the Lonestar Roundup. I chose an off-white color, since I though it contrasts nicely with the black paint and polished wheels and contributed to the 1960s vibe. I chose a removable rear window, which does improve ventilation and visibility, particularly on long trips. I also feel the removable rear window gives a more retro vibe to the look of the top.
Original steel Ford body: Windshield chopped three-inches, Custom three-piece aluminum hood by Jack Hagemann, Hood side panels louvered, Original 1932 Ford firewall, Vintique grille shell, Dan Fink custom grille-insert with stock style '32 crankhole, King Bee seven–inch headlights, '39 Ford taillights, Stock-style '32 Ford gas tank, '32 Ford roadster dash, with Stewart-Warner-style 5-gauge instrument panel with engine-turned insert, Classic Instruments custom Rodder's Journal gauges, Classic Instruments electronic speedometer, Sid Chavers Bop Top in off white with removable rear window, DuPont Black urethane paint, Paint by Mickey Galloway.

Rodder's Journal reprints vintage aftermarket performance catalogs
All photography courtesy of Rodder's Journal.
One of my favorite aspects of building traditional hot rods and gow jobs is that there's just so much room for creativity and experimentation. Didn't like how the twin-81 carbs ran last time? Try dual 97s. Heard that Stude V-8s are untapped high-compression colossuses? Drop one in and see! This, along with our reverence for the past and our pursuit of authentic vintage speed parts, means that—blessedly!—our rides are never really done.
It also means that there is a veritable galaxy of castoff, forgotten and unidentified parts floating around out there. From blocks to heads to ignitions to cams, pistons, gears, diffs, steering boxes, axles, wheels… the potential selection of componentry sold at swap meets and traded among greasy-handed friends is almost infinite.
Aftermarket catalogs from the period are indispensable guides, both to identifying what you've got and to charting your future performance mods.
Trouble is, the original literature, as you'd expect, tends to have been hard-used and then abandoned to the tattering of time as soon as the next issue showed up in the mail. Recently, I nearly pulled the trigger on one such catalog being offered on an online auction site that had been bid up to around $50 and was described something like: "Oil-stains. Binding mostly missing. Rat-chewed?"
The rarity of these catalogs, in decent usable condition, makes tracking down a comprehensive collection time-consuming and costly.
So, unless holding the actual half-century-plus-old paper in your hands is important to you—and I do appreciate how enjoyable that can be—our friends at Rodder's Journal have gone to the trouble of gathering a significant library of the literature for us.
The ready-made and affordable reference is comprised of almost 30 catalogs from legendary aftermarket performance parts manufacturers and distributors from the late '40s through the '60s like Edelbrock, Bell Auto Parts, Karl Orr, Iskenderian, Chet Herbert, American Racing, Hurst and Mickey Thompson.
This Pandora's Box of performance is full—over 500 pages!—of products, specs and tips, depicted in catalogs reproduced in their entirety and in full color to look and feel just like the originals. A supplemental directory of the companies still in business, along with their current contact information, is a time-saving bonus.
Any enthusiast would be giddy to receive this box of hot rodding goodness in the mail. To pre-order the Vintage Catalog Collection Boxed Set, visit the store at www.roddersjournal.com, or call 800-750-9550. Cost: $49.95, plus shipping and handling.
Rodder's Journal releases Scrapbook collection of vintage hot rodding images
There's something fascinating about the early days of what came to be known as hot rodding that even enthusiasts of other sects of the car hobby have often acknowledged. It probably shouldn't come as any surprise that people have been attempting to make automobiles go faster since the earliest days of motoring, but the results of the tinkering done by young Americans just before and after WWII seem to represent a sort of mechanical perfect storm that still holds allure for many of us today.
Coupling those unique creations with the photography of their period yields an idyllic slice of Americana from that time that is similarly captivating, and the editors of The Rodder's Journal have been doing a good job of providing a steady stream of features with these scenes for quite a few years now. But, for those who can't get their fix through the pages of the magazine alone, the TRJ team has recently published Scrapbook, a hardcover book filled with vintage images of hot rods, racing and the people who made it all happen.
Publisher Steve Coonan relates that the book project was something the team had been pondering for some time, as years of producing a magazine dedicated to traditional rodding tends to attract images and stories from the people who were involved back in the day. Once the project got rolling, however, the tide of material surged, as even more neat old pics came in and more contacts were made with the people behind them. With 480 pages, there's a lot to take in.
Rodder's Journal editor Curt Iseli handled the accompanying text, and does a great job of providing the backstory to the cars and scenes depicted, along with other insights on the period and the machines it produced. The book is split into chapters of sorts, focusing on the photography of a particular individual or event, and despite the tendency of such works to focus on the West Coast, there is plenty here from various points around the country. From the earliest hot rods to racers, customs and indoor show creations, the book tends to chart the evolution of the genre. And this isn't just a rehash of former magazine feature material – much of what you'll find in Scrapbook has never been published before. For more information, contact Chasity Smith at The Rodder's Journal at 650-246-8920 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit RoddersJournal.com.

I must say that when I shot a lot of color negative film, I really liked Portra 400NC. But I like subtle colors. It'll certainly be capable of imaging that kind of brightness range if you're careful. I also shot a bunch of 160VC, which didn't particularly impress me; it was nice, and all, but the speed/grain tradeoff wasn't dramatically different from 400NC's, so I went relatively quickly to Reala. NPH is the Fuji equivalent, which was fairly similar for my purposes; note that NPH changed formulation twice (now to Pro400 or something?) since then and I don't know what it's like now.
I have no experience with high speed color films, I'm afraid.

Five years ago, in the early days of data analytics, Toronto-based venture capital shop Georgian Partners made a big call: tracking what people do online would eventually lure major money. That strategy is now bearing fruit.
41st Parameter, one of Georgian's portfolio companies, was just acquired by Experian PLC for $324-million (U.S.). The purchase price equates to 12.5 times the target's expected revenue next year, while similar deals are typically inked for three to four times revenue.

I explain over here, with full spoilers.
Over at Gamespot, Kevin VanOrd – one of gaming's best writers – "broke consensus" by giving Arkham Knight 7/10. Many other places are giving it much higher scores, including a perfect 10 at Polygon. They did a video talking to Kevin about why he did so (even though you can read the review itself to find out why.)
I noticed this comment and it kind of perfectly encapsulates what is so wrong with so many gamers' responses to criticism.
Yes: A person who admits to not playing Arkham Knight thinks it should get a higher score, based on a trailer. Because, I guess, trailers are never created to show off the best parts of the game, running perfectly smoothly, with the right set pieces, by a huge corporation's marketing team. It's not like it's their job to sell you on a product of theirs based on decades of experience in marketing.
It's strange because clearly this person could just ignore this review or Kevin's perspective in their purchasing decision. (You'll notice that this person asserts Kevin knows nothing about games, an accusation I know all too well as of late.) As someone who adores Arkham Knight, I can see where Kevin is coming from. That was his experience and it actually resonates with a great many other people.
The key to writing a good review should be that even those who disagree can still pick up on those aspects they'd love: For example, Kevin noted how often you use the Batmobile. He found that tiresome. However, I love the Batmobile and I loved the parts where I had to use it. So his response to the same scenarios are exactly the opposite of mine: there's no arguing there, it's simple fact that our tastes just differ.
It's strange that someone who clearly has been swept up in the PR to purchase the game feels the need to defend it against someone who's played it (and is clearly an experienced critic). Kevin isn't stopping you; he didn't say it was bad; he gave it a 7 not an 8 or 9 like most other places. That people who haven't played it are taking issue with the score should tell you so much about how so many gamers respond to criticism in general. It's tiring dealing with such responses. But we haven't reached that point where such responses are the exception rather than the constant: Too many gamers want everything and everyone to be mouthpieces for PR, rather than individual, critical perspectives on our favourite medium.
I wrote a review for Batman: Arkham Knight. It's a long one.
As a great aside, Jim Sterling's latest video on the nonsense that WB Games has pulled (again) deserves a watch. I feel sorry for my PC friends who were looking forward to the game.
In a March update to 2013 indie survival horror game, Rust, the devs explained a new change: the assignment of skin tone.
Writing on the game's official blog, they said:
Everyone now has a pseudo unique skin tone and face. Just like in real life, you are who you are – you can't change your skin colour or your face. It's actually tied to your steamid.
Right now your avatar is randomised via three things. Skin colour, head mesh and head material. We only have 2 face textures and 2 face materials, which means there's 4 possible combinations. We will be adding more of these later on (at which point your face will probably change).
There's a lot of skin colours in the world, and it's really easy to appear racially insensitive when doing this. This is compounded by the fact that everyone is really used to seeing this guy as a white guy, so when you see him as a black guy it feels like he's just "blacked up". So we're spending a lot of time trying to lessen that effect.
Race is a complicated issue in a world where people are still judged, targeted and marginalised – even in first world countries – because of their skin colour. Many people would like to believe we are beyond it, but unfortunately, we are not. And this is precisely what scholar Megan Condis tackles at Al Jazeera:
The reactions to Rust's unprecedented experiment were swift. Many gamers were aggrieved by the skin tone automatically assigned them. Others felt drafted into racial discourses that they preferred to ignore, and lamented the entrance of social justice activism into what they saw as a blissfully post-racial online world. But the backlash only underscored a disturbing reality: By insisting that race doesn't or shouldn't exist online, such attitudes ensure an online status quo in which people of color remain marginalized and invisible. (Emphasis added.)
This continuation of marginalisation arises from gamers' insistence race doesn't belong in a review; in sites focusing more on what characters' smoke than why there are no people of colour.

— Tauriq Moosa (@tauriqmoosa) May 25, 2015
It's everywhere and people who loudly proclaim to be totally not racist perpetuate this toxicity through erasing our concerns.
While there were blatant racist responses to Rust's decisions, there were also those who believed it an "enforcement" of issues. What's striking, however, is that so many people forget how often people of colour are forced to play white people; how often gay people play as straight people; and so on. The straight white male lead and focus is ubiquitous in gaming – and a lot of media. This ubiquity leads to those identity aspects becoming invisible. As Condis puts it:
Why is it that the supposed lack of choice with regards to the player's avatar only became a concern after people of color were added to the game? The reactions reflect a failure on the part of some gamers to recognize that whiteness is a race at all. These players appear to think of whiteness as a neutral type of embodiment, the universal category of humanity against which all those who do "have" a race (anyone who is not white) are compared.
Many people often respond to us people of colour's concerns about race with frustration and anger; it's particularly awful when, consistently, white people ask me to stop talking about race. I'd really love it if, instead of telling me to keep quiet about race, white folk interrogated this anger – not at systems of oppression, but at their own boredom, their own frustration at us, and how it adds to an environment we keep saying is unwelcoming to us.
Consider that when we write "Gaming culture is unfriendly to those who are not straight white cis men", we have straight white men swear and harass us to… disprove this? It's as if the articles about how minority groups face oppression get comments that prove the necessity of those articles.
The industry and culture is hostile and part of that hostility is privileged people who claim to be not racist or sexist telling the rest of us to chill out, quiet down, stop overreacting. We have given so many examples, shown so many ways – it's not a question of evidence, it's now a question of why privileged people don't want to accept that evidence. It's their refusal to self-reflect on their anger at us, rather than the systems and culture we point to that hurt everyone.
I, and other people of colour, can't do that acceptance for them, neither can any other minority person who is frequently the target of hateful but privileged angry people. As Condis highlights in her piece, ubiquity of particular types of people has led to invisibility – and, because we don't fit into that ubiquitous mould, that so-called "target demographic", we become targets, not members, of yet another space.
This isn't just gaming. It's every day life. We shouldn't want invisibility, we should want safety.
No one is forcing you to participate in these discussions. If you really don't care, fine: don't read, don't participate. It's a pity though that so many would rather pretend race doesn't exist and isn't an issue than try make games more inclusive, diverse and accepting. Games themselves talk about race – why won't gamers?
"Stop talking about race issues in games" #Witcher3 pic.twitter.com/Ix1xRmvWkK
— Tauriq Moosa (@tauriqmoosa) May 24, 2015
I wrote an article about Gamerbro-types owning up to their own politics and social agendas – instead of making boring, obviously false assertions like "We just wanna play games", "Keep politics out of games", etc. Why am I comfortable enough to play and review games, and also talk about my own view of politics and social issues, but my "critics" are not?
Why is it OK to mention the number of pixels but not the low number of people of colour? It's never been explained but we can all start having proper discussions when such folks own up to their views; just admit "I find race issues boring", "It makes me uncomfortable to confront sexism".
That's so much more honest, so much more fruitful than trying to silence us with "make it about games" – when, for me, so much of diversity issues is seen in games. It is about games, for me: Telling me to keep quiet about race in games is telling me not to experience games. And if you don't want to read about my experience of games, don't read my reviews. These people are not babies, but for some reason this needs to be explained.
Regardless, a very boring commenter went on a verbose rampage, trying to drown us all in words – because, I guess, mortality isn't an issue when you have an endless spawn option. I mean just look at this Niagra fall of words!
I'm working some things out, so here's a fisk.
How many people would use the k-word slur or a non-human animal species to describe persons of colour? Would any of you call me "camel-fucker"? Would you use "faggot" to describe a gay person? I imagine the answer to these is no – and it's a "no" driven not by fear of police or lawyers, but some sense of morality.
Can you imagine anyone having to write an article today asking people not to use the k-word to describe black people? It seems ridiculous, because you probably don't need to be convinced of that. If I had to blog about why you should not describe me as a "camel fucker" or "raghead" or "Paki", I'd imagine you'd ask: Who the hell is this for?
But let's say there was someone, a white man, who had never encountered these terms used in a bad way or himself used it as a term of endearment in an "ironic" way. Presumably such a person, who had never fully considered the impact on those it actually affects, would read my piece and reconsider his terms.
Whatever his conclusion, no one other than himself is preventing him from using those terms. I am not leaping out my blog to silence people who use "Paki", I simply block them and conclude such people are not worth talking to. The entire Internet is available for Paki-bashers of the world to unite and use the term "ironically".
That's the end of it, really: Words on the internet ask you to reconsider using a term. Agree? Disagree? No one's stopping you. Seems easy, no?
Well, judging from the way gamers responded to a similar suggestion about the term "Master Race", maybe not. [Read more…]
I think.
Anyway, I want to sit here and be proud and pretend I did something for once in my life.
But more importantly, go have a look at some of the brilliant responses from others – and please contribute your own. It's hilarious and cuts to the heart of the stupidity of #Gamergate. The power of satire can always be useful.
UPDATE: Caitlin White has a succinct yet remarkably accurate write up of its history in Bustle. Great piece.
UPDATE 2: There's a write up at Salon that's excellent.
UPDATE 3: I also tried to respond to some #Gamergaters on reddit. I got some reddit Gold for trying, so there's that.
Brianna Wu faces a lot of scorn and abuse right now from Gamergate. And also this.

Wu has faced and is facing harassment, was chased out her home and continues to fight against abuse – despite good reasons not to. So while facing a horde of misogynists and other horrible people, now is certainly a good time to take your big boy pants to her work! Totally!
@tauriqmoosa I don't care about her personal life, but professionally, she is making us look bad.

Aside from the fact that saying a person who develops isn't a "real" developer – which No True Scotsman cuts across like a train – it's just… pointless.
It's just unnecessary.
I have numerous problems with Sarkeesian's work, not least her views on sex work. But the world isn't coming to an end because my opinions haven't been voiced. I don't see why it's necessary right now to do so. I also have other concerns.
But mainly: Sarkeesian, Wu, etc., are facing a mob of hostility from the internet and adding to that – no matter how well intentioned – is a jerk move.
Instead of using my limited time and resources to target Wu or Sarkeesian, I use it against the mob hating them.
And I do this for people who make racist Tweets about brown people like me and non-white people who live in Africa (like me).
If I can focus my criticism and use my finite time and finite energy to respond to an online mob attacking racists, I'd think gamers could do something similar for game devs and critics they don't like. Oh, so you think Brianna Wu is a crap or fake game dev: yes, now is the perfect time to Tweet about that and make that your response (consistently in his interaction with me). And way to dismiss concerns of her safety as that being her "personal life".
Sorry but I defended people who might hate me for my skin colour. What is so important about vidya games that it needs brave defenders targeting harmless women who everyone knows is being harassed and targeted? You have the freedom to criticise them, just as I have the freedom to tell you that's pretty vile.
I don't know but it seems to me more moral – ITS ABOUT ETHICS, AFTER ALL! – to use your finite energy where it's most needed, instead of being another person trying to score points against a harmless woman on the internet.
