Famous architectural firms, OMA and BIG, are battling it out to win the redevelopment competition for the design of the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Unlike other architectural master plan competitions, the Miami Beach project is especially intense because Bjarke Ingels, founder and head of BIG, used to work at OMA.
The current Miami Beach Convention Center occupies a 52-acre site at the city, adjacent to its city hall, as well as to cultural attractions such as the Jackie Gleason Theater.
BIG produced its proposal in a team called Portman CMC, which includes property developers Portman Holdings and CMC Group, architects John Portman & Associates, West8 and Fentress Architects, and circus entertainers Cirque du Soleil, who would provide an event space on the site.
BIG's proposal is centred around the creation of a public square, with paths, plazas, gardens and parks connecting the convention centre with the surrounding buildings.
OMA is working alongside property developers Tishman and UIA, architects TVSdesign and landscape architects MMVA and Raymond Jungles, who together form a team called South Beach ACE.
The team's vision includes building an 800-room hotel on top of the existing convention centre, which is the location for the annual Art Basel – Miami Beach and Design Miami trade fairs.

Bill Gates
You made a difference to a lot of peoplePosted on 18. Dec, 2013 by awsome_helper in
Woz, My dad bought an Apple //c back in 1982 (I think) after our Commodore 64 failed to impress him. We had a neighbor who had a //c as well, so we pirated software between us, based on what we could find on Bulletin Boards (with my 300 baud modem). Yes, we also made some purchases, but at the time, none of us had any real appreciation for what we had.
I used my //c to play a bunch of games, make posters and signs, and write school papers. I thought I was the coolest kid in school, because I had a "computer". At the time, I had no idea what Apple was about, and had someone mentioned the names Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or anyone else mentioned in "Pirates", I would have given a dumb, blank stare in response. To me, it was this cool toy that did just about anything I could imagine wanting to do.
I took a BASIC class in high school, and learned on IBM computers. When I discovered that I could write BASIC programs on my //c, I was ecstatic! I started writing simple programs to flash names of girls on the screen who I had crushes on, and so on. We're talking really simple here. But seeing these things work gave me such a feeling of happiness and confidence, I can't begin to express it.
When my dad decided it was time to get a newer, better computer in 1987(?), I figured "ok, something bigger and better than my //c". I had no clue what I was in for. He bought a Mac SE, and the first thing I remember saying to him when he showed me the interface was "Why do I have to click the mouse twice? Shouldn't it be once? That's stupid!" When I left for college in 1989, I took my //c and a handful of games (my favorite being "Below The Root", which I used to LOVE), along with AppleWorks (the original AppleWorks). I used it for two years, and then came back home to finish my degree.
In the next several years, living with my parents, I graduated with an MBA, and started using a 6100/60, and just before my parents moved to Florida (leaving me to pay rent in our house in Staten Island, NY), I bought a Mac Clone (PowerBase). I set up my //c on my desk right next to my PowerBase, and at one point in time, I even got the //c to call the Mac (using that old 300 baud modem). It stayed connected only long enough for me to write "Hi" to myself, and when I saw it appear on the Mac screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a 16-year-old computer talking to a 16-day-old computer. At the time, Steve Jobs was just returning to Apple, and I started to hear his name a lot more frequently. I researched him, found out a bit about his past, and discovered your name, and your involvement. Prior to this, I really didn't follow the computer industry much, except to know that I was using the better, less popular platform.
I now own a Yosemite G3/400, and my PowerBase is connected via Ethernet and sitting under my desk, but the //c sits proudly on the desk next to the Blue G3. I now know and appreciate who it was who created the //c, and who wrote the BASIC that I used to make Stacey and Laura's names appear flashing on my screen. I now understand who you are, and what you are about, and I feel foolish for calling Steve Jobs my "hero". Granted, as a current AAPL shareholder, and Mac user/evangelist, he is a hero of sorts, but when it comes to computers in general, my early involvement, and the joy I got when I was a kid, I now know that it is you I have to thank for putting in the blood, sweat and tears (not to mention putting up with Steve Jobs!).
I almost never use the //c anymore, but even at 17 years old, it still boots up, and still runs programs off those flimsy floppies. I even found a girl recently who had a //e and used to play Below The Root! Too bad, she was not interested in going out with me. Her loss :)
I have a "cool" Web site at http://www.stealth.net which you will find amusing, if not creative and cool, just for the navigation metaphor.
Thanks, Woz, for inventing the machine that made me love computers, and helping start the company that has shaped so many important details in my adult computing life. Whether you wanted it or not, whether you cared or not, you made a difference to a lot of people, and I, for one, will forever cherish that. You're my hero.
For quite a long time I laid quite low and had no idea that so many people were fans for the right reasons. I figured that many were fans just because they had the Apple Macintosh and loved it, as I do, and heard my name. But so many were touched the right way by the Apple ][. It truly had an impact that no modern computer can. In your own story I see that a couple of simple things (games, BBS, flashing names, etc.) that truly inspired you. I look back to my own such experiences in my youth, largely before computers but related to science and electronics, so emotionally that I know that those experiences truly shaped my life. Even my father, an engineer, is very important to me now, more so than when he was around. I'm even thankful for the 'right' books that I stumbled on that gave me direction here.
Before computers, many fewer of us typed. But I was a very good typist, even acing out the girls in typing 2 in HS. I'm not so fast anymore, because I switched to Dvorak and use a tiny PowerBook keyboard, but...Anyway, at one point in my life, my third year of college, the most important thing I owned was an IBM Selectric Typewriter. Steve Jobs and I got a couple for a blue box, The next year, my most important possession would be my HP-35 calculator. But when I got to designing what became the early Apple computers I had to have the circuitry complete and in front of me and usable like a typewriter. Being around HP calculators was a boon to seeing computers this way too. So I always liked computers that sat right in front of you, like a typewriter. I use only PowerBooks these days. The Apple ][c was truly my favorite Apple ][. It had to be plugged in, but with an LCD screen it was incredibly small in it's day. I'm always glad to be reminded of it by people like you.
Your web site is VERY cool and really grabbed me instantly. Instantly it seems a lot more negotiable than almost any others, even if you're a Windows user. If mine gets done in this style you won't sue me for violating your look and feel, will you? (kidding)
Good luck, and don't get fooled as to what is good and what is junk.
I wish that Bill Gates had my sense of humor.Posted on 24. Sep, 2013 by awsome_helper in
I loved the movie-very interesting and well done! After all that happened in the film, one thing I wonder is how do things stand today between you and Steve Jobs (and Bill Gates)? Also, I am curious about how the actors prepared for their roles behind-the-scenes (if you know...), what kind of research they did to try to make things accurate? Thanks. Carmela
I'm glad that you enjoyed the movie. I did also.
I talk to Steve occassionally and try not to feed reports of any conflict between us (there is none).
I wish that Bill Gates had my sense of humor. Do you remember when he got hit with some pies in Europe? After that, I sent him a picture of myself being hit by a pie at the pizza party after my college graduation in 1986. It was fun and we all laughed and the picture is captioned cleverly "Computer pie-in-ear". I suggested to Bill that he have a pie thrower ready in the wings whenever he has a boring stage appearance, just for laughs.
The personalities and personality conflicts were portrayed quite accurately in the movie, even though a lot of the scenes didn't happen or had different parties present or happened in different cities than shown or in different years. The actors deliberately didn't talk to any of the principle parties. I guess that we would have spoiled it telling how great we all are and threatening lawsuits if they didn't show it the way we said. So some legal problems might be avoided by not talking to us.
MacOS always feels betterPosted on 24. Sep, 2013 by awsome_helper in
I saw the movie last evening on tape, and to tell the truth I was quite disappointed. I thought that Bill Gates was portrayed as "kinder" than he really is, and I thought that they should have given you more credit and perhaps shed more light on your contributions. I also have one question; did Apple "steal" the GUI from Xerox (at PARC), or did they develop it themselves? And a personal question; how do you think the MacOS is better than Windows? What about MacOS X (any future?)? Sorry to be intrusive, but I am naturally inquisitive, and I figure if anyone would know the answers to these questions, it would be you. Thanks for your time. John
Apple worked with Xerox openly to bring their developments to a mass audience. That's what Steve portrayed Apple as being good at. Xerox got a lot of Apple stock for it too, it was an agreement.
Microsoft just took it from Xerox or Apple or whomever. It took them a long time to get it halfway right.
MacOS has been more constant since it's beginning 15 years ago. Look how many times DOS and Windows have changed. That doesn't lead to stardards that feel good. MacOS always feels better to those of us who use both. It's been built in from the ground up, from the atoms of the OS up. It's also part of our culture to put a high priority on how easy it is to use.
Young and idealisticPosted on 24. Sep, 2013 by awsome_helper in
I just wanted to say that I just saw Pirates of Silicon Valley and was amazed at what went on way back when. I commend you for remaining the same person you've always been rather than turning into a money hungry, stuck up person like so many others do. It's so interesting to me that you made the computer that made Apple even possible, but it was Steve Job's that seemed to take all the credit. Was the scene with the man being interviewed really true? Did Steve Job's actually demean a potential employee?? I have to say, that they portrayed him as a real jerk who was very demeaning to his employees if they did not perform to his liking. And actually, Bill Gates was no better. They were and maybe still are hungry for the power. The other thing that I found interesting and didn't realize was that Microsoft now owns part of Apple. Steve Jobs is definitely a brilliant business man but after seeing what Bill Gates has done I'd have to say that he's even more savvy! Anyway, those were just a few thoughts I had. I was just really impressed with your character and how you've remained the same person that you were when you created that first computer. I hope you don't mind my two cents. : - )...Heather A.
I think that I already gave you some insights. We have such clear insights as to what we want to be like when we're young and idealistic, but few remain true to these ideals. I'm just simple enough not to play games and bend and twist my early idealistic views. I do need recognition for having been a great engineer, I don't need credit for the company, or power
Microsoft apps for the MacintoshPosted on 26. Sep, 2012 by awsome_helper in
I knew that you guys (Apple) got the GUI from Xerox... But why on earth would Jobs let Xerox and Co. even get a look at the Mac before it hit the streets? I mean, jeez... I understand why Xerox let you guys see the technology.... The Xerox 'Brass' had no vision, but Jobs did.
Steve wanted Microsoft to write some apps for the Macintosh.
Bill Gates and MicrosoftPosted on 11. Jul, 2012 by awsome_helper in
Some people claim that Bill Gates will be given credit for creating the personal computer in the history books. What do you think about this and Microsoft in general?
That's ridiculous. Bill did have an important part. In 1975 when I was in the Homebrew Computer Club and designing my computer, Bill's BASIC brought a usable computer language to those technicians that could now afford a cheap Altair computer. Tons of games were the starting point for this revolution.
I'd spent a couple of important, earlier years of my life teaching myself to program a computer language in machine language, even though I never had access to a computer to even start debugging my programs. They were just written on paper, generally during college math classes and the like. I awe Bill Gates' BASIC and decided that was the language for me to use on my 'second' computer, which became the Apple I (the first had been built a few years earlier). In the end, I spent a lot more time on this than on the hardware designs and other things.
Do note that I did all the hardware and software and keyboard control programs and BASIC and graphic programs and apps and demos and peripherals (cassette interface, printer interface and driver, serial interfaces and drivers, floppy controller and driver and boot code and OS kernel, and more). Bill Gates gave up engineering (programming) after one program and made all of Microsoft's programs as a businessman, primarily 'buying' them.
Once in a while history credits the scientist or engineer over the businessman. Einstein is an example of this. But usually the measure is in terms of dollars and power and longevity in the business.
QuestionsPosted on 27. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
A bunch of my friends are now Macintosh fans. Do you use a Mac? What kind? Do you like it? Why do you use Outlook Express??? Have you met Bill Gates? I hear he isn't the nicest of people is there any truth to that? Do you read the magazine Mac Addict? Do you know anything internet based that I can do to earn a little cash? Do you like RPG games like Dungeons and Dragons Visit the best web sites in the world?
I use Macintosh computers exclusively. I mainly use a PowerBook (G3/400) but also have a G4 minitower. My family uses lots of other models, including iMacs and iBooks and even the incredible 20th anniversary Macintosh.
I do use Outlook Express. It doesn't have a lot of things that I want (like dragging email addresses into the address book) but it's clean for what it does have.
I've never met Bill Gates.
I occasionally read MacAddict. I have so little free time, that's my problem.
Sorry, I don't have any specific internet based ideas for you.
I don't have time for RPG games (beyond a bare minimum) but my boys and their friends have always gone for RPG games in particular. That's the sort of game I would get into if I had the time and was younger.
About Bill GatesPosted on 26. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
So you are retired, that is great. I was wondering how you feel on how the govenment is charging Bill Gates with monopolizing the computer industry, do you think he is?
Bill Gates is not charged with monopolizing the computer industry.
The corporation Microsoft is charged with using it's monopoly power (a 'given', already expressed in Judge Jackson's Finding of Fact) to suppress new companies from starting. I think that Microsoft did more in this regard than any company in the world could have. There's nothing more that a 'worse' company could have done. Therefore, if there are laws against such things, they apply and they should be applied to the fullest extent.

About Jobs and GatesPosted on 20. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
Hello, My name is Jason S, I would like to say that I really do admire you and your work, and if you wouldn't mine, I would like to ask you a few quesitons about Jobs and Gates:
First, how did you feel at the 1997 MacWorld Expo when Jobs announced a semi-merger with Microsoft? Next, What do you think of the Anti-trust case against Microsoft? Do you think its a monopoly or just an extremenly competitive company? Also, what do you think of Jobs being appointed interim CEO of Apple? Do you tink that the new iMac is the answer to the companies decline?
The1997 MacWorld Expo: In the sense which it is intended it's good. I'm non-confrontational for sure. But it was portrayed as Bill Gates cheering for Apple and that wasn't true
Regarding Microsoft: It's a monopoly. Microsoft has used it's monopoly powers in very bad ways. What if all the gas stations were owned by one company and they announced that they were modifying the nozzles to only fit their own brand of car? We'd have no choice and all the car companies would be out of business. If you're rich and don't like somebody who has a shoe store, you don't have the right to open a big shoe store across the street and price the shoes at half price just to put him out of business (and then be left with the rewards of a 'monopoly')
Jobs as CEO: At first I didn't like the fact that he would revive his own Next stuff within Apple, because some good Apple stuff would be shelved. But the products are great and leading the world to the future...Woz
A&E's top 100Posted on 14. Jun, 2012 by awsome_helper in
I just wanted to write this to tell how grateful I am that Apple Computer was developed. Mainly because there would be no such as the personal computer and many advances never would've happened if it wasn't for Apple. I also wanted to write because recently I was watching A&E's top 100 hundred and was disappointed to see that you where not named and Bill Gates was. I sat there and said to myself what did he do to deserve that besides make a lot of money nothing. I would've at least to of like to of seen at least Steve Jobs or at least a mention of Apple but when they rounded out the top five I knew it wouldn't happen and was deeply disappointed that the two people or even the person who changed the daily lives of everyone was not even mentioned at all during that.
Well, I just wanted to thank you for helping change my life and the way I live it everyday. If it was not for the Apple Macintosh computer I would not have a job or hobby anymore and am grateful for having it around. I am always exited about the new developments coming out of Apple and just have one question for you. As an original developer of the MacOs and with the new version of it coming out next year MacOs X I was just wondering what your comments on it and how it will change it from where it started and how you feel about it? Thanks again, Spencer Parker
I'm glad that you see things this way. It is fair to say that Bill and Microsoft did a bit of engineering (writing BASIC for the Altair computer) at the start and did take risks in setting up and running a business. But we at Apple did much more to bring computing to people and we took much greater risks and we did our own designs and used our own money and time a lot more. We worked to create the hardware and the software that would do new things. We didn't merely buy others' programs and find a way to sell them at a profit. Apple even popularized (and largely created) the technology that Microsoft makes it's money off of.
I think that MacOS X will be very very great but will, at first, only reach loyal Macintosh owners. I think that it will be well accepted by the Macintosh users by the time it comes out and that the grumbling about differences will be short lived. I think that differences like fast graphics and more game software will be even more important than a more stable OS though.

Best fence company in the Charlotte area. It's obvious why Champion Fence is voted #1 in customer service!
Unskilled, unlicensed, unreliable. Will ask for large down payment up front. Work is incredibly slow and they come and go as they please. They installed windows wrong, did electrical wrong, sheet rock wrong. We spent a fortune undoing what these people did. Beware.
I had two fencing companies come out to measure and give me an estimate on about 300 Ft of Aluminum Fencing. Both companies were much cheaper than the price quoted at the big box stores. The manufacturer of the aluminum was the same and I ultimately chose Done-Right Fencing because Matt from Done-Right Fencing was very professional. He was on time, the price was right, and he assured me he would personally be there for the install. I checked them out on the BBB web sight and decided to go with them. I am glad I chose Done-Right they were able to get my fence installed the day after we closed on our home. This was a big relief since we have two dogs. I was very happy with the quality of the product and the professionalism of Matt and his crew that installed my fence. I would highly recommend.
Homes are among the most expensive purchases you'll make in your lifetime, and it's important to make it your own, both inside and out. A fence can serve a number of purposes, including keeping a rambunctious pet or child from straying too far, creating privacy for your yard, improving the value of the house or simply making your home more secure.
More than 99,000 businesses offer fencing services and products in the United States, and the industry generates about $51 billion in revenue a year. With all of these options, homeowners can team up with a fencing contractor that meets their budget and requirements.
Types of Fences
No fence is one-size-fits-all. Each home is different, with its own character and charm, and homeowners should expect their fence to reflect this aesthetic. Fortunately, there are a number of fence materials that you can choose from to add to the look and function of your home.
When people dream about a house with a picket fence, wood is often the material that comes to mind. Wood is the most popular fencing type in the U.S. because it provides privacy thanks to its build and height options, looks attractive, and will likely last for the lifetime of the home. The downside of this option is that the height and size can impact the price, and it can take time to install.
Aluminum may not provide the type of security that wood and other options might as it would need fill-in panels. It requires little maintenance and can be decorated any way you want. However, this type of fencing is not ideal for areas with severe weather.
If you like the look of a wood fence, but not the price, PVC could be a good option. PVC is much cheaper and can be used to replace wooden stakes and pickets. While it's not as sturdy as wood, it can significantly cut down on material costs and comes in a variety of heights and colors. A PVC fence can last for years and has a high resistance to the elements.
Vinyl is one of the cheapest and most durable fencing types on this list. A vinyl fence has four times the flexibility and five times the strength of comparable wood fences. Although it has a high upfront cost, it requires no maintenance and is overall less expensive than other options.
Homeowners that are looking to be green may find bamboo fencing to be an appealing option. Bamboo is grown naturally, rising up to a foot a year, and can be planted to create a fence. Rolled bamboo and bamboo cane options will be the sturdiest choices and are optimal for colder climates.
If you think that fences are an eyesore, an invisible electric fence might be the optimal choice. These are especially beneficial for homeowners with pets. A trench is dug along the fence's boundary, and a wire is buried within. A wireless transmitter can then interact with a pet's collar to warn the animal when it is near the edge. Pets will stay within your yard, and you won't have the bulky structure of a fence.
How to Know if a Fence Works for Your Yard
Now that you know what materials are available, you might have an idea of what type of fence you'd like. However, there are a few considerations you'll need to address to verify that a fence will work for your yard:
Check Your HOA Regulations
Before you can begin planning for a new fence, you'll want to double check the rules for your neighborhood. Some homeowners' associations have stipulations concerning fences including standards for what materials can be used, as well as height requirements. Using this information, homeowners can thoroughly assess their options and stay in line with HOA regulations. You'll want to refrain from building excessively tall structures unless permitted by the HOA and municipality ordinances. Without this allowance, your fence will end up costing more.
Draw the Lines
Now that you know what guidelines are in place for fences in your area, it's time to determine if a fence will work for your yard in particular. You'll need to confirm your property lines to ensure that you stay within your established boundaries. A fence consultant will need to come out and locate utilities and other obstructions that could interfere with construction. The slope and contour of the terrain can affect the measurement of your fence as well. Understanding these elements will help determine if your yard is a good candidate for a fence and make planning run more smoothly.
Lay out Your Reasons
Establishing a fence takes some time and investment, so it will be important to consider why you're installing a fence in the first place. If you have kids or pets, safety might be your main reason. You might put in a fence for privacy if your landscaping isn't enough to provide your desired level of seclusion. For those selling their home, a fence can add visual appeal and increase property value. These considerations may guide you on what type of fence will be best for your home.
Common Issues
To properly maintain your fence, you must first learn about what problems you may face:
Damaging Utilities
Utility lines must be marked before fence installation to prevent any damages. A simple visit from a professional can save you a lot of headaches down the road.
Overlooking Standards
If you build a fence that doesn't adhere to ordinances, it can cost you a lot to address. Be sure to check with your HOA and municipality for regulations concerning what is required to build a fence in your area.
Leaning Fences
If you don't maintain your fence properly, you can expect it to come down with a few problems. You may notice that your fence is leaning or sagging, and this can be a fairly expensive problem to fix. If you don't close the gate properly, your hinges might sag and prevent your gate from closing securely. Homeowners can prevent these situations by performing regular maintenance on their fences.
Fence installation often occurs in stages. First, the fence company will mark the utility lines in your yard. Then, a crew will dig posts and set them in concrete. About a week later, the company will come and install the stringers, gates, fencing material and everything else. The average installation cost is slightly more than $4,500, but it will largely depend on the materials used. It's inadvisable to try to make this a DIY project, as a high degree of skill is required, and many costly problems can result from a bad fence installation.
Aluminum, vinyl and PVC fences all require little to no maintenance. Homeowners may use soap and water to clean off these materials, but they generally don't require much more than that. These options can be good for those that want a sturdy but low-touch fence.
Wood fences, on the other hand, require a little bit more work. With exposure to the sun and the elements, wood fences are prone to cracking, warping and cupping. To prevent this, homeowners are encouraged to clean, seal and stain their fence at least every three years. Clean the fence with a specially formulated cleaner. After 15 to 20 minutes, use a pressure washer to remove any mold, mildew and debris from the fence. From there, you can seal and stain the fence to protect it and help the wood look good as new. An oil stain is recommended, as it penetrates the material and can maintain its condition for years.
Choosing a Service
With tens of thousands of fencing service companies to choose from, how do you know which one will be the best for your needs? Here are some considerations to help you make a decision:
Are There Portfolio Examples?
You'll need to do some homework on your potential contractors. First, see if they have a website and a portfolio of samples. These can indicate the provider's level of experience and highlight their capabilities.
What's Their Reputation Like?
You'll want to have a contractor that has a good reputation. Look at customer reviews as well as how long the provider has been in business. If a contractor requires an immediate decision, asks you to pay cash or doesn't provide an estimate, it should serve as a major red flag. A friend or family member may also be a good source for recommending a contractor.
Is the Work Guaranteed?
Some organizations may offer a variety of promises, such as time to completion and discounts, simply to get you in the door. It's important to question the validity of these guarantees and research whether the contractor has delivered on these commitments. If it's clear that the contractor constantly misses deadlines or doesn't meet obligations, you'll want to renew your search.
Is There a Warranty?
No matter how good a contractor is, there may be an issue with the fence a year or two down the road. You should ask about what type of warranty is offered. A warranty could help offset repair costs if you have a sagging fence, while enabling you to fix any warped or cracked panels that may occur after exposure to the elements.
Trade Associations
Homeowners should work with a fencing contractor who is certified by or a member of one or more trade organizations. Some of the biggest associations in this industry include:
American Fence Association
Since 1962, the American Fence Association has grown to be the largest and most comprehensive resource in the industry. The group aims to benefit fence-industry professionals and customers by promoting professionalism, education and certification of its members while keeping up with the latest developments, materials, standards and tools.
The AFA has created a rigorous certification program and requires recertification every three years. Professionals must prove a history of service in the industry prior to taking the certification exam and complete the multiple-choice test.
North American Fence Contractors Association
The NAFCA is a group of fence professionals who look to bring contractors and vendors together for better affordability and accessibility to educational opportunities within the industry. It's run by a number of volunteers and encourages all contractors who want to develop their skills to join.

Greetings, creatures of the universe!
How are you getting on with life? I hope you're doing awesome and progressing in life. Have you achieved your goals or already challenging new heights?
Even if you have not reached anywhere, please don't be discouraged. Things take time and especially, courage to pursue.
I won't say I'm any better. Slowly getting to where I intend to be however it's going to take time and I'm alright with that. I understand and fully believe in progress than shortcuts.
Anyway rather than spouting about life and its lesson, here's a slice of what happened.
Some time last week, I went to one of my favorite places for breakfast. I go there so frequent to the point I don' have to order, they already know what I want.
So anyway, the lady boss asked me for my business card to which unfortunately, I have none. Of course, I got curious and asked her for what purpose she wanted my card. She giggled and said that she wanted to introduce a guy to me because I'm single plus always eating alone and the guy is about the same.
I narrowed my eyes, trying to search her face for seriousness and yes, she seemed serious. Of course, I shrugged this off however a couple of days ago, she handed me an advertisement card that has a name and face on it. She handed over and playfully said, "Here. This is the guy." And waltz away gleefully.
My face dropped and she is really a nice lady so I summoned enough muscles to curl my lips into a smile and kept the card with me.
Later I went to my colleagues to whine about it as I was telling them about this before.
Seriously… Starting to question what I've made myself look like to others. (Tears)
So next week when I go back to that place… I just gotta tell her I did not call him up.. Like duh, imagine someone rings you up and you're expecting a business prospect but no, here's a dating proposal instead!
Anyway, to put it positively, I find this to be absolutely hilarious and let's see if she is going to give me more name cards with pictures of lonely men (Laughs).

Apple yesterday announced the latest update to the Apple Watch. They have decided to call it Apple Watch Series 2 for reasons that may or may not become clear in the future. It could be that in the future they have a new form factor for it and are waiting to release that and only then will it be called Apple Watch 2.
So what new features does it bring? Well no surprises if you've been following the rumours but the fact that the watch is now is fully waterproof and features GPS means this makes the Watch a compelling device for the sports enthusiast.
Now waterproof to 50m the Series 2 Apple Watch should make a good swimming companion. I know there are some YouTube videos out there of people swimming with the Series 1 version but personally I'd never take that risk with something so expensive.
Apple have now worked on sealing everything tight shut to water and during the keynotes they showed a video demonstrating the thrashing these watches took in the testing phase to make sure everything remained waterproof after prolonged use in water. It looks to me like it should hold up well in the pool. I love that they have redesigned the speaker so that after the workout is complete you rotate the crown on the side and the speakers vibrate to expel any remaining water!
There are now two new workouts Pool swim and Open water swimming. Below is a very brief but informative Youtube video on how these modes will work.
It remains unclear whether GPS tracking will work whilst doing an open water swim. I've reached out on social media to see if I can get an answer to this.
GPS Tracking
This was the big shock to me that as well as waterproofing the watch also has GPS tracking. This is superb. My idyllic vision of my runs with my music on my Apple Watch streaming to my Bluetooth headphones and not having to care if the watch gets soaked in the rain is perfect. Whilst some might bemoan a lack of LTE I think in someways this is a good thing whilst out running. The whole point is to escape, to get away from the noise of life and feel free. That is not going to happen whilst bombarded with messages nagging for attention. Now I'll no doubt be happy when LTE eventually comes but I hope Apple finds a way to easily turn off notifications automatically whilst working out or having a priority mode perhaps.
Early reports say the battery can last upto 5 hours with GPS on. Now for serious athletes, say out on very long bike rides, this isn't going to be enough but for the vast majority it will be just fine. I do see me popping it back on the dock whilst I shower however for a top up and this is no different to what I do now with my Tom Tom watch. There is nothing worse than finding your watch is dead just as you want to nip out for a run.
The addition of these two features means that for lots of us we can ditch dedicated fitness trackers. I know I plan on doing so once I've confirmed it all works as advertised.
The watch now features a S2 system in a package chip with a dual core processor that promises 50% better performance, a new GPU that delivers twice the graphics performance. With WatchOS3 this should be a very slick device to use.
Nothing earth shattering but a boost in brightness upto twice as much as before makes the Watch much easier to read in bright daylight Apple say.
So what's not to love really? Perhaps sapphire glass on all models would have been good as the Ion-X Glass is iffy for me. My wife fell off her bike onto a stone path her watch face is badly scratched. Still fully functional though.
I'll be picking one up for sure and trying desperately to pre-order so watch ( pun intended ) this space for more content and hopefully some more video soon.

Ed Templeton, in addition to being one of my childhood idols is part of growing group of professional skateboarders turned creatives. Templeton's camera has been a staple of tour trips and skate events forever, but now as he has shifted out of the skating spotlight the focus is drawn to his art. His photographic is mostly documentary with a touch of performance or experiential art mixed in. His early photos taken during his skating career capture things that an outsider would never otherwise be able to see. That insight is a beautiful thing.
The camera of choice for Templeton is of course a Leica. So as part of an ongoing series of interviews with photographers who use their rigs, Leica made this interview with him talking about his process and what inspires him.

text: Successful Social Media Tip of the Day . . . How is your SEO ? SEO or Search Engine Optimization is what you need in order to make your Posts stand out to search engines like Google. Almost 70% of all searches are done through Google advises social media site Razor Social. You need to optimize your content so that the Search Engine spiders can find your blog on this vast internet. One of the most important SEO practice is to make sure your content is linkable. If it is the best advice or most complete information out there on a particular topic, if it's not linkable, it's sinkable. Search Engines will not rank the content if it is cannot be linked and your site will not get the traffic it could be getting. If possible, try to link your content back to your category page and your homepage. Make sure all your content can be shared ! Have all the social share buttons you can add, like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, Flickr, Google + to name a few must haves. For good SEO have a URL that reflects the content in the title. If you are selling a product, and post helpful content using that product have some name recognition in the title. For example, your store sells Fly fishing equipment, a good URL might be http://www.myfishstore.com/flyfishing/The-best-spots-to-fly-fish/(NOTE – Fake URL). Try not to use a bunch of numbers or abrivated words in your title. The more the reader can understand, the better your chance your post will be viewed. Do you always Tag your posts ? This is another important ways to make your content stand out. Using the previous example, you may want to Tag that post with Fly fishing, outdoor sports, fishing, fresh water fishing, water sports, sport fishing. Make sure your terms are broad enough so when a search is done, you will come up in the search parameters. If your product is so unique and rare then you can narrow the search Tags. Tags are usually an option near the end of your post before you publish and will be viewable to the public at the end of your post. Try not to load up your page with too many images. If you do have images, make sure they are in a form that is most optimal for the platform you are using. If your site or post takes too long to load, viewers will loose interest fast and go onto another site for their information. Use Keywords in your post title and through out your post but do not litter it with Keywords. This will turn the search engines off and most likely you will loose content ranking for the post. Finally for this Tip of the Day, is your content useful? Does it fill a need ? Is it a subject people are interested in? The best content solves problems or helps the consumer in some way. Not to change the subject, but I can't believe the World Cup is over until another 4 years ! Congrats to Germany and to all the teams ! It was an exciting couple of weeks watching all these countries compete. Remember your SEO when you write to successfully have your material shared on Social Media !

The Dublin government appears determined to cling to power despite its overwhelming rejection at the hands of voters in the 26 Counties.
Roughly three quarters of the people in the south rejected the coalition parties, Fianna Fail and the Greens. Both parties suffered heavy losses in their representation in Brussels and on local city and county councils across the state. The main opposition party, Fine Gael, Labour and more radical left wing organisations were the main beneficiaries,
For the first time in its history, Fine Gael, led by Enda Kenny, won more support in a statewide election than Fianna Fail.
Socialists scored a historic breakthrough in Dublin in both the local and Europeran elections, with veteran Socialist Party leader Joe Higgins securing election to the European Parliament.
Speaking in the Dublin parliament, Kenny told the Taoiseach and Fianna Fail leader Brian Cowen that "if he has any respect for the Irish people, who he leads politically, he will accept that following Friday's disaster for his government, including his Green Party colleagues, he has no mandate or authority to continue in government and that he and his colleagues are deluding themselves if they believe they are losing support because they have faced tough decisions."
In the Dail debate, Labour leader Eamon Gilmore also attacked the 'crony capitalism' of the corporate sector of "you sit on my board and I'll sit on your board".
"We need political change in this country," he said. "For the past decade people were used to having the country run on auto-pilot. No matter what problem arose, there was always money to be thrown at it."
Sinn Féin Dail leader Caoimhghin O Caolain pointed out that, of the three parties that negotiated the original Programme for Government in 2007, the Progressive Democrats no longer existed, the Greens had been reduced to three county councillors and Fianna Fail's support base had been depleted.
Speaking to the press following the outcome of the election, Gerry Adams said the Dublin government had now lost the moral authority to govern.
"People need hope and positive hard nosed leadership to turn around the economy in the interests of working people.
"In local councils throughout the state parties with a commitment to equality must set aside differences and work in the common good," he said.
Mr Adams said "the big story" of the elections was that " tere is a lot of work to be done if a just and fair society is to be established on this island."
The vast majority of people want a rights based, decent and fair system of governance, he said.
"An alliance for change must be built. The broad left did well in this election. But the left is fragmented. Unity needs to be built. That will take time but it doesnt have to wait until the next election. That work must start now.
"In local councils throughout the state parties with a commitment to equality must set aside differences and work in the common good.
"The government has lost the moral authority to govern. But it is not good enough to be against government policy. People need hope and positive hard nosed leadership to turn around the economy in the interests of working people.
Sinn Féin Vice President Mary Lou McDonald released a defiant statement, despite being edged out of her seat in Europe in the reduced Dublin constituency. Congratulating Joe Higgins on his election success, she vowed to press on with her political efforts.
"While disappointed I just missed out taking the third seat, I am very proud to have had the privilege of representing Dublin in Europe over the past 5 years," she said.
"I will continue for stand up for ordinary Dubliners and be a voice for those this government wants to trample on," she said.
"To the people of Dublin, you have shown that voting does matter and there is a growing momentum for change. The Government has been sent a strong and clear message from you that they need to go.
"Together we can build on that momentum and start to turn this country around."
Elsewhere, Toireasa Ferris performed very well for Sinn Féin in the South constituency but lost out to Labour senator Alan Kelly for the third seat in the constituency.
Kathleen Funchion and Tomas Sharkey raised their profile in the East while the decision by Fianna Fail's Pat 'the Cope' Gallagher's to run in the North West damaged Councillor Padraic Mac Lochlainn's chances of winning a European seat.
Sinn Féin lost five council seats in Dublin, where Labour now dominates, and suffered setbacks in Waterford city, Wexford and Galway.
There were gains elsewhere with a doubling of its seats in Cork city, now holding four, and Maurice Quinlivan secured a seat on Limerick City Council. There were gains in Mayo and a number of other rural areas, allowing the party to achieve representation in 31 out of the 32 counties.
The party also welcomed the re-election of former TD Sean Crowe to South Dublin County Council. However, it suffered a blow when long-time party activist and general election candidate Daithi Doolan lost his seat in the south-east inner city.
In the Dublin Central by-election Councillor Christy Burke fell short, with with the seat being taken by Independent Maureen O'Sullivan. His subsequent resignation, despite securing re-election as a Sinn Féin candidate onto the city council, dramatically exposed the party's fault lines in Dublin. A reorganisation of the party in the city is expected to take place later this year.
Republican Sinn Féin welcomed the victory of Councillor Tomas O Curraoin in the Conamara area of County Galway after countless attempts to secure election to the county council and the Gaeltacht authority.
Party President Ruairi O Bradaigh said that it was a "tonic" that the group, which split from Sinn Féin in 1986, had "reclaimed" one of the two coounty council seats held by the organisation in the past.
"That outstanding success proves that Republican Sinn Féin candidates are electable - it can be done! - but that hard work on the ground is necessary over a prolonged period of time.
He said the work of "rebuilding the Republican Movement" in the aftermath of the "defections of recent years" would continue.
Elsewhere, Green Party chairman and unsuccessful European candidate Dan Boyle insisted that while his party were down, they were not out.
Green councillors were ousted in Carlow, Galway City, Meath, Monaghan and Kildare.
The party comfortably held just one seat, Brian Meeney in Clare, while Mark Deery was the only Green candidate to actually gain a seat in Louth.
"It is our nadir. The only way we can go is up. I am optimistic for the future," he said.
However, defeated Green Party councillor, Niall O Brolchain suggested the party could pull out of power with Fianna Fail and form an ad-hoc government with Fine Gael and Labour, presumably with Sinn Féin support.
Mr O Brolchain said his understanding from talking to Green Party leader John Gormley was the party would hold a national conference to decide on the party's future. But with the Green Party TDs keen to avoid a confrontation the party's grassroots, it is not believed this special meeting will be imminent.
A motion of no confidence in the coalition government was defeated in the Dail on Thursday by 85 votes to 79, with Fianna Fail supported by the Green Party's six TDs, as well as two independents, Jackie Healy-Rae and Michael Lowry.

One could only imagine what sorts of things I have stowed away in this purse. The bag itself, a Christmas gift from my brother. The two animal decorations? The raccoon is a hand sanitizer holder, the panda, a lip gloss holder! Shout out to Bath and Bodyworks for these cute accessories!
And now for the goods……
In no particular order –
- Four pens, three black and one breast cancer awareness pink. I can't use them all at once but let's hope one of them will work when the time comes.
- Okay this may be more than excessive but one lip pencil, three lipsticks and two lip glosses. Well, "on a bad day there is always lipstick". Three chap sticks and one homemade pot of lip balm are also included. One might think I should carry a small side pack just to house the lip items! (shaking my head)
- I have one eyeliner and one cover stick as well, I guess I know how my eyes and face measure up against my lip care.
- One mirrored compact, so I can see to put all that lip stick on, you don't want a mistake, when it comes to lipstick application!
- Two pocket size hand creams. A hair pick.
- There are two packs of gum one Dentyne Ice peppermint and one Extra bubble gum, both sugarless. And one pack of Listerine breath strips for the days when gum won't cut it.
- In the drug and medical area I have one large bottle of Advil for really big headache days, one Zyrtec for allergy days, one bottle of eye drops for the "I was up too late writing my blog" days, one tube of neosporin for the "oh drat, I just cut myself" days and one tamoxifen tablet for the "oh drat, I am at work and forgot to take my cancer therapy drug before I left!
- My billfold, sunglasses, reading glasses and car keys. I can't think of anything that interesting here except I have a rhinestone lanyard for my keys in hopes of not misplacing them. However, I had lost them the other morning and they were actually in the ignition yes, all night. This is really helpful if you intend to have your car stolen by the local night prowler. Not so great when you are running late and are crazed trying to find your keys!
- The papers I have are a hotel receipt from a few weeks back when my oldest daughter headed off to Argentina to study abroad. I also have a metro ticket stub from the bus/train ride we took to the airport. And a restaurant receipt from TGIF's from the dinner we had the night before she flew out.
- That pretzel card thing is some kind of app you can get from The Pretzelmaker, a chain of mall stores that well, make pretzels. I don't know why I would need the app. And now as I am remembering they shorted us one pretzel when we were there last time.
- And finally, I have a thank you note scribbled on some torn notebook paper from one of the students I work with that reads as written:
Thank you so much your the nicest person that I've ever met hope u have a wonderful Christmas. Your always there for me your just about the only one I always listen to and trust of course.
Thank you so much
A sweet note to reread on crazy days at school.
I have since moved the thoughtful note to my keepsake journal, along with the metro stub. I should downsize that lip stick assortment but for now put everything neatly back in the bag.
A very good way to clean out my bag and discover some finds too. It was my ninth blog post theme. I wonder what is in your bag or wallet? Care to share?

Raise a pint at a real Irish pub in Vegas
By Renée LiButti
Pubs are not new to Las Vegas. They're a growing cultural phenomenon here. There are at least 18 Irish-themed pubs in and around the city – one even debuted earlier this month.
Why are they so popular? Simply put, pubs offer a friendly and exuberant atmosphere for all ages. The word "pub" is the shortened form of "public house," which refers to a community gathering place that combines conversing and sharing stories with hearty food, flowing drinks and good music. Pubs continue to be a mainstay of Irish social life. You'll find them on every street in every city, town and hamlet throughout the Emerald Isle.
While all of the pubs in Las Vegas dole out the "craic" (the Irish word for fun and enjoyment), there are a few that excel in bestowing a real experience to guests based on the traditions of Ireland.
The city's newest pub, Rí Rá in The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, tops that list when measured by an authenticity barometer. Owners David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan go to great lengths to re-create the rich traditions of Irish pubs in America. This is the 12th pub they've opened in the United States. Close friends since the age of 14, the two grew up on the south side of Dublin and spent their time in many of the esteemed pubs on Baggot Street, like Toner's and Doheny & Nesbitt.
"We used to hang out in those pubs and thought how cool would it be to take an actual pub – not a reproduction-type thing or an imitation in any way – and move it…just bring it over and drop it in," said Kelly, who spent 12 years working in marketing for Guinness. "Our vision was to source everything and have it be purely salvage. Nothing would be reproduced, so the pubs would be authentic to the core."
In trying to create something real and not Disney-esque, there were many hurdles. Kelly and Sheehan had been looking for a location for Rí Rá in Las Vegas for several years. When a space was finally selected, they not only had to create the infrastructure for a full-service bar and restaurant, but also fill an immense 7,000-square-foot area with salvage from Ireland.
"Everything in Ireland is smaller, so it forced us to break the pub into little intimate areas," said Sheehan, who boasts a broad architectural background. "Each one is populated by a different piece of millwork and has a different story."
For instance, there's a Victorian area that features cut glass and gilded mirrors from turn-of-the-century Dublin. The bar, originally built in the 1880s and then rebuilt in 1921 after having been destroyed by fire, came from Foley's in West Cork. Plus, an eight-foot-tall, 500-pound plaster statue of St. Patrick, which stands on a pedestal watching over guests, dates back to 1850. In the whiskey area, you'll find another bar with a glazed jewelry cabinet built in 1900 as well as oak flooring from a distillery. And the music room showcases artifacts from the Olympia Theatre, the oldest theater in Dublin.
"You won't see brass plaques saying 'this is this' and 'that is that.' It's more about the pub unveiling itself to guests as part of their experience," said Sheehan.
All of these pieces were painstakingly restored and assembled – cut down to size, modified or added onto to fit the Las Vegas layout for Rí Rá – at their storage yard, a pasture in Brittas Bay, Ireland. Everything was then shipped overseas in four 40-foot containers.
"It definitely would be easier to build from scratch and start anew, but the finished product, I think, is a testament to the efforts of all the craftsmen we have working on it," said Sheehan. "We are truly restoring and retooling pubs for the next generations."
Of course, bricks and mortar are only part of the equation. The quality of the food, drink and entertainment, along with the hospitality of the staff are also important to providing a true Irish experience. Kelly and Sheehan make sure that things in Las Vegas are done exactly as they would be in Ireland. On the menu a traditional Irish breakfast is offered all day. Fish and chips are served only when there's fresh fish.
"We take Irish items and really try to deliver them at another level," said Kelly. "Our corned beef is fantastic. It's in-house brined for 12 days, so it's unique and really delicious."
The staff – many of whom are Irish nationals, thanks to a work experience program for hospitality graduates – are also rigorously trained in whiskey proficiency and pouring draft Guinness. What's more, guests at Rí Rá can listen to up-and-coming bands flown in directly from Ireland every night of the week.
There are other pubs in Las Vegas that have a similarly high authenticity factor. Perhaps none embodies the spirit of Ireland better than Nine Fine Irishmen at New York-New York. Opened in 2003, it was inspired by a group of nine extraordinary Irishmen who not only led lives of great achievement in the 1800s, but also participated in a movement for independence from the British Parliament.
"Nine Fine Irishmen celebrates their passion for Ireland, joy for life and sense of adventure," said Frank Lawlor, the publican. He's a man who knows a lot about Irish pubs. Lawlor's parents owned three in Dublin, where he plied his trade from the ages of 5 to 23. He came to America in 1985 and has been managing pubs here ever since.
"Nine Fine Irishmen was designed and built by the best of Ireland's craftsmen and shipped directly to Las Vegas," said Lawlor. "It replicates the styles of pubs found throughout Ireland in fine detail with Victorian bars, cottage areas and shop-style snugs."
Spread out over two stories, the downstairs bar is modeled after the Trinity Bar and the upstairs bar is based on the Long Bar – both of which are famed in Ireland. The pub also boasts a sitting room and a replica of the courtroom where the Nine Fine Irishmen were put on trial. Authentic Irish farm implements and other knick-knacks are hung on the mahogany wood-paneled walls.
"Everything you see in the pub, we plundered from Ireland – like streetlamps ripped from the sidewalk and antiques from secondhand shops," said Lawlor.
Aside from the architecture and heroic namesake, Nine Fine Irishmen also shines brightly in terms of food. The menu is a collaboration from nine of Ireland's most famous chefs and reflects everything from pub favorites to the more sophisticated cuisine of the country's varied regions. Some standout items include creamy colcannon soup, shepherd's pie made with port wine-infused beef tips and "drunken" onion rings, which are marinated with Bloody Mary mix.
"You can't have a pub menu without outstanding fish and chips," said Lawlor. "Ours is beer-battered cod."
Amid the fine food and perfectly poured pints, Nine Fine Irishmen is equally serious about entertainment. Live music is provided nightly compliments of two house bands: Sin É Rí-Ra and the Celtic Rockers.
Beyond the Strip are two more standout pubs that offer hefty helpings of authentic Irish revelry. J.C. Wooloughan is located at the JW Marriott in the northwest part of town. Since opening in 1999, it has nurtured a loyal following among both the resort's guests and locals.
"The pub was named after J.C. Wooloughan, who came from Ireland and was involved in operations for the first few years," said Therese Sam, the marketing and public relations coordinator for the JW Marriott. "There are pictures of him still in the pub."
Created by the Irish Pub Company, a premier designer of authentic Irish pubs throughout the world, J.C. Wooloughan was initially constructed near Dublin, dismantled and then put back together again in Las Vegas by the same craftsmen who first built it. Everything that you see inside the pub, from the wood and tiles to the bric-a-brac, is also from Ireland.
Sam said that a highlight on their menu is the "Emerald Isle" category, which includes bangers and mash, corned beef and cabbage, and beef and Guinness pie. These exceptional Irish eats are complemented by a fully stocked bar, in order to serve the pints that are the pride of Ireland – Guinness, Harp, Smithwick's and many more. Live performers, such as the rock band Wild Celts and Vegas U2, a Bono impersonator, appear at the pub regularly to spread cheer among guests as well.
Another neighborhood-style Irish pub, The Auld Dubliner, is found on the southeast side of town at Lake Las Vegas. Surrounded by The Village, a charming retail development, it benefits from the communal-like atmosphere.
"This is a coastal cottage pub," said Joseph Serrano, the general manager, when describing the ambiance at this contagiously pleasant spot. "We're very family-friendly. We also get a lot of older patrons because of the hominess. We're really able to tap into the whole age spectrum."
Like J.C. Wooloughan, this pub was crafted by the Irish Pub Company. The founders of The Auld Dubliner – Eric Johnson and David Copley, an Irishman from Limerick – drew up the floor plan and selected a theme before it was built in Ireland and transported to Las Vegas in pieces. Upon arrival, the Irish Pub Company sent out a small team to reassemble the pub, do the painting and add all the finishing touches. The Auld Dubliner, as a result, exudes a welcoming Irish essence.
Along with its laid-back vibe, the pub is best known for its freshly prepared Irish comfort food. Among The Auld Dubliner's exceptional fare are Guinness beef stew and Guinness meat loaf. A house brew batter, combining Guinness and Harp, is used for the fish and chips. Sausage rolls are a popular appetizer. And, the menu displays an item not frequently seen in America's Irish pubs: boxty.
"Boxty is a potato pancake," said Serrano. "The one that we have on the menu is the Bushmills chicken boxty with a cream-like base, but we can also turn corned beef and cabbage into a boxty."
In addition, The Auld Dubliner has a great lineup of Irish beers and whiskeys that are often accompanied by great Irish music. In spring and summer, local bands typically perform Thursdays through Saturdays, while Sundays are dedicated to Irish session music.
"People are welcome to come in and bring an instrument, so they can jam with the group," said Serrano. "We usually do this with the Celtic Cove. They play on the patio and then we slide the doors open. The whole ambiance – the craic – just spills out and takes over The Village."
Indeed, at all four of these pubs, the genuine atmosphere is overflowing. They don't rely on Irish themes or gimmicks. Instead they are passionate about providing a real Irish experience in every way. Thanks to them, a bit of Ireland has been indelibly woven into Las Vegas' cultural fabric – and the city is far richer for it.

2017 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas: Many Wants, Some Oddballs
The 2017 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction will run from October 19th to the 21st. As with any Barrett-Jackson auction, there will hundreds of very interesting cars going to the auction block. There will be three Ford GTs and a 918 Spyder in Brad's favorite (sarcasm) Martini livery. Add to that the standard Lambos, Ferraris, and Aston supercars. But there is more, a lot more.
There are a number of custom cars and rat-rods. The one that stood out the most to me was this '72 Caddy "wagon" which has six wheels in a Tyrell P34-like configuration. There are several recreation vehicles, so such this really cool '75 Airstream Argosy. Classic pickups are dime-a-dozen but there is only one fire truck, '52 Pumper Engine. One vehicle that should look familiar is the Clarion-created Acura NSX, which you have seen here, here, here, and here.
It's important to note is that the entire sale price of a 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake will go to a special fund that supports Las Vegas first responders and those affected by the recent tragedy. See the full list of vehicles here and tell us your favorites.
