The Lone Ranger will ride again and "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski will be calling the shots for the Disney.
Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer have been talking about a Lone Ranger feature film for years and announced in 2008 that Johnny Depp would play the role of Tonto, the faithful friend to the masked man. The project has been slow to the screen, though, with Depp's dense schedule and the emphasis by the studio, producer and star on their massively successful "Pirates" franchise, which has pulled in $5.35 billion in worldwide box office with three films and has a fourth scheduled for release next summer. Now, though, with Verbinski on board, the Lone Ranger revival might move into gallop mode.
The 45-year-old Verbinski has been working as director and producer on "Rango," the Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures animated feature with Depp in the title role. That movie has a strong early buzz and a fun, quirky trailer with a bulging-eye character that might remind some viewers of the Budweiser frogs ad, which was one of Verbinksi's signature successes when he was directing commercials. (Verbinski, a Tennessee native who moved to California in his youth, also made his mark directing music videos, like this one and this one, and played in bands himself.)
With "Rango" (which also stars Abigail Breslin and "Pirates" alum Bill Nighy and marks the first animated feature film for Industrial Light & Magic) arriving in March, Verbinski will be free soon to go off into the Old West adventure. The tapping of Verbinski for the job was announced in a Variety story Wednesday morning but it was hardly surprising (and there were rumors reported) after the success of the three "Pirates" films. That franchise is now under the command of director Rob Marshall ("Chicago"). The big question now is who will wear the mask in the title role of the movie and when exactly the film will reach theaters…

winter thoughts
The snow falls, days now and with every inch i seem to fall more deeply in love with winter. it's beauty and the calm it brings have always been like a kind companion to my thoughts, it quietness a soundtrack to the scenes before me.
I am sitting by the window and the soft dusk light floats in and this plays. Soon i will leave getting up from this old grey chair and put my winter layers to head out doors and become part of the scenery i have been staring at for hours now.
How are you? There is a beautiful melancholy that has been brewing inside of me a mix of the relief of making it to the other side, finalement….and the newness that comes with the reaching of a new hand. I can think twenty thoughts at once as of late sometimes uncomfortable but the other day a quiet whisper allowed me the time and space to let those thoughts fall where they may and wait for one to perhaps grow into something more.
Last night we went to his house and listened to him sing a song he wrote about the love of his life, 59 years worth of love and memories. I was glad you came with me and listened to, not what we are used eh, togetherness minutes before you told me you where giving up on us. a second later i got a glimpse of my physical and i felt a relief, there was nothing there to want.
Oh that light, five the winter hour I love the most- the light compels me more than writing down more words, thoughts. I shall think of you as i try to catch snowflakes and perhaps i will create a being made of snow and be with him till he goes…..

the light of my being
A mix of soft snow and fog is creating such an ethereal afternoon here on the hill. Music is playing and a little girl is getting ready for her french class. I like the drive that brings me to madame Sabine's house, where i drop of my little Poet but for a moment afterwards I am lost, who am I when I am not mothering, who am i when i am not running or creating something. Those questions are slowly being answered as i try to navigate this new path.
It is wrong to wish to go back to certain times of certainty and confidence a time where maybe i took happiness and in the moment for granted. Forward, will bring me to a place similar in feeling but how much does the heart crave peace and solid beats. This year, will be one of travel as that side of me stayed dormant last year due to being spread to thin. right now I feel as if there is so much of me to give, but no clear recipient or vessel other than my darling to catch it all.
Again i find myself wanting to do something beyond what benefits me. The hill needs so much of my attention and i can not wait to make it all shiny and new again. I have been working on a project that if successful will teach me so much about the merge of past and future- helping to create a balance i often seem to lack in my personal path.
Today it is the keys of the piano that has me feeling all sorts of things and this image i took of Poet the other day as we traveled across the mountain with our recovering bodies and sat at a cafe. I spotted the light and before i could say anything this little being ran to it and then i suddenly forgot where the light source was coming from, i remembered it was all her…..

the soft rain and warm air
Dear friends, thank you so much for the comments and emails, made me smile but moreso gave me this sense of familiarity that I have been craving.
Poet and I have been home with head colds and except for the chores we have not ventured outside in days, Today I just needed a walk and although it was raining the air was warm and the drops soft. The landscape always changing, today my favorite winter colors emerged the ones that feel as if you are walking in painting, Andrew Wyeth if i was to be specific.
I have decided to devote a half hour of my day to write here in these pages, a half hour of listening to music and writing. I sat down with Poet and told her my plan and that she could read or draw during that time, she looked at and said " I will make dinner" I write this as she is handing me slices of oranges between her preparing dinner. She cooks so beautifully and passionately at her age, I taught her knife skills very early on, when i realized she would always go for the knife and it was best to teach her the proper methods. She knows how much olive oil to put in the pan, how to snap asparagus and peel garlic. She can combine food so beautifully matched like chickpea, lemon, garlic and fresh herbs. I should take photographs for you. I am sipping some sparkling water as I type the only way I can drink water these days and I make it myself, I know it seems silly to speak about it but this simple machine that requires no electricity and can instantly turn my well water to this bubbly water makes me kid like happy.
It is amazing how we could run from a certain kind of rain and in another walk gently not caring how wet we get. I have not done so many of the things that used to come easy, like daily walks no matter the weather. Today we started again. The weather has gone from mild to extreme cold and mild again. I like my winters with a good two feet of snow and in the thirties, it healthy that way- the things that need to be dormant are allowed to do so, the animals body temperature is steady, food intake predictable and healthy and the quiet that snow brings helps one quiet the urge to do more than one can.
I must go now, Poet has nappa cabbage, pineapple, garlic on the counter, i am wondering what we are making:)

finding my way back here, this abandoned place
Dear Friends,
I will never be able to fill in the pages with the moments and stories that have taken place in the years I have been away. Yet i might on occasion travel back to memories that helped thread together parts of myself that has brought me back here.
I am not sure, if anyone I once knew and think of often will find themselves back here to this abandoned place. Either way, I will paint you picture with little vignettes of words and images and let you piece things together, take what you need and for those who felt abandoned by me, i am truly sorry- i paid the price for doing so.
I am sitting at my kitchen table, it is winter , dark and windy the kind that makes the windows rattle and has the fires warmths disappearing before it reaches my skin. I am listening to Keaton Henson, my beautiful four year old daughter Poet is on the couch "reading" and i am pleased that i am typing away, finally.
There is reluncholus flowers on the table in a white pitcher that i bought her on my way back from Montreal because I was told when I left she thought " mommy is gone to get dinner and buy me flowers" it was bittersweet to get that call, that i could not turn around right then and make my way back to her hurt, All is well now, we have spent the last three days in pajamas with head colds, roaring fires, tea and to many documentaries, her latest infatuation Volcanos.
Keaton just sang this phrase" do you know who you are……are you tired" gosh, i am and this very moment i do not know exactly who I am. You see the last few years I threw myself in project that took every ounce of me and although it gave back, with people and kindness those things quickly got devoured by a horrible man who desguised himself as a caring loving human and even though all the signs where there that he was the opposite of who he portraying, i thought that no one could see his kindness but me only to realize I was the only one that needed him to be kind therefore i willed it but it never came and it broke me.
You see it was not that i thought i was different from all the men and women he has done this to before but it was simply because i thought, surely he had evolved as a human, recognizing that the power and happiness he must get by being an instinguisher of light, destroyer of dreams could not be sustainable, could not keep him happy for long- I was wrong, he needs to see you build partially so that he could hear the recking ball of his being destroying another. Always saying how he needs biggest and the best and yet not being able to come even near to being decent or good enough, kind enough, helpful enough- he hears it to or perhaps sees it in you when you realize that he is a fictional character and yet you have the grace and kindness in you to not point out but the reflection he catches is enough to bring his fury, call in his ego and as lightning hits a tree he burns you. I once said to him I forgive you, it took all i can to say it, such a long journey to get to that place where i could genuinely mean it, his reply " your not god" the man with no empathy i realized then, the reason he was always working on his spirituality was because where once laid a heart now was colder then the river he swam in. Yes dear man, I am not God how could i be, when you believe yourself to be. I will be well, I have a lifetime to get there,
I love the violin, even now the music playing is heavy with it, it has been an influence in my life and now more than ever it has become a sanctuary and at times even a daily live performance.
I must go now, put on my wool hat and socks and walk against the wind with feed buckets filed with sheep and horse grain- how lucky is the life i lead, where every night I am summoned outside under the stars to be doing one of the most primitive things to man.
I am going to give you what i can, dear readers while depositing memories here.
With Kindness,'nadia

dissapearing kindness
It has been a long while, i never meant it to be. I had hoped to fill these pages with Poet and her wonderfullness, because there is so much of it. I hope to do so shortly but i must just write what my heart is asking me to write but know dear friends if you are still there, i have an incredible life and all these months that have passed have been filled with happiness more than anything else.
I am sitting upstairs above my cafe, shop and market, life has changed i have added these things to my days, it has cost me a lot, not reffering to money but it has given me alot once again i am not reffering to money. It has until very recently been were all my energy and drive has gone. Oh gosh even as i type this i feel this malencholy ache for where i left off the simple life that was Poet and i on the hill. It is fragmented now and we are everywhere and being pulled in so many directions. temporary i say, balance will come yet there is no complaint here all is as it must be for the future of what i hope it to be.
I have had some of the kindest moments and experiences this past winter and spring and they helped me move forward and keep focus. I have also heard kind words and the worst all in one opening of mouth. My heart has soared and felt a tare on the same day. I have lost my balance, fallen, picked myself up all within minutes. It easy to blame others, well maybe not so easy- i am good at taking blame, it is safer, more bareable. My shoulders ache, my neck aches i blamed it on all the false shade ( airconditioning) maybe it is something else, maybe it is the dissapearing kindness from those i love but maybe it is dissapearing because i have emptied....

when words become a song
Hello, I hope you are well and that you are enjoying these last days of summer. I am upstairs, the windows let in a soft breeze, crickets, tree frogs and this are the only sounds i hear. The sky is turning from dusk to dark and i can see a beautiful silhouette of the birch tree. I am profoundly happy.
Just the other day i told a friend that i felt like a balloon being held by a child seconds before being let go. I am excited about so much but grounded and filled with what i have.
I am preparing for many things at once, yet i do not feel rushed and maybe that part is on it's way but for now- i am good at being here in the moment. Last week i needed a quietness, a stirring so I took Poet and we drove down a dirt road, i needed to see these beautiful creatures. I was surprised at how much they spoke to my spirit, how much they listened to my inner rants. I stayed for a while and then came back again a few days later. Sometimes, you need to be heard or to hear with your eyes until your soul has received the message and your body becomes fully awake.
I am awake and a continuous flow of words can be heard inside me almost a song….

home, again slowly...
I have been away, family trials, fears and helplessness now those things are passing and i start to point my toes, open my hands and slowly stretch my limbs again. Tonight was magical, the hill slowed me down just enough, taking me on a waltz through beautiful fog and rain as horses galloped through the fields and deer grazed. I walked to the horses and stayed for a long while even rested my face on splash and asked " do you remember me old pal" through this thicker skin, wrinkled face and grey hair but somehow he showed me who i used to be so i lingered there….
I have always known a baby, child would bring me so much joy and all the love i had that was often misplaced would find a home in this small being what i did not realized how much my love grows for her each day even when i think it would be impossible to love more than this , she is my everything and there is something so amazing about her beyond just what a mother feels- she is the sun, the sea and the air.
I am preparing to travel again foreign lands like Istanbul and home away from home France and working on filming workshops and lands beyond my imagination. It goes to fast, torn between want to be still on the Hill with my little girl and wanting to create- i believe one day soon both these things will collide and it too will be magical.
i took this photograph long time ago when i lived in Providence, my bedroom in the city, morning light filtered through ferns, oxalis and a window shade…… the tittle "my heart wanders"
oh and this song took me places….

Poet, a film.
Nadia&Poet from Ryan Ulysses Marshall on Vimeo.
Dearest friends,
I have wanted to share this with you from the very first moment i received it. I wanted to show it to the world and say " see here this is proof, i am her mum and she is my daughter" but i couldn't, it became my most prized possession. At a time of uncertainty, in this beautiful film created by Ryan i saw what my heart knew, Poet was my daughter, my future, my purpose. Ryan caught Poet brilliantly as she was. I watched this many times throughout this last nine months and other times when i became to scared of loosing her i kept it hidden even from myself fearing i would brake to watch what t i knew without a doubt the unshakable bond between Poet and I- but now i get to share it with you a moment in time that meant/means everything to me. Although i continue to feel a lump in my throat and tears down my cheeks while watching it, it is no longer intertwined with fear but solely on how fast she is growing and how lucky i am to have this moment on film.
Ryan is one of the most talented people i know, this passed year his kindness, strength, and support became rays of light when i needed them. I met Ryan a few years back when he came to film a book trailer on the hill and stayed for a few days but i read his works, beautiful written pieces on family way before on his coveted blog Pacing the Panic room. I formed an opinion about him then that he was a father and husband and a pretty darn good one. In person what i witnessed is a human who when speaking about or to his children his excitement is, as if they were just coming out of the womb and when he speaks about his wife, it is as if he had just yesterday met the love of his life. He is like that with his work too, a child like excitement, a healthy dose of nervousness and a very strong vision. His films are beams of light -BEAMS OF LIGHT. I am lucky to work with him and even luckier still to call him a friend.
Ryan, even though i try, i know i will fail to express how treasured not only the finished piece is on Poet and i but that you took the time to do it. My only hope is that one day Poet herself will express her gratitude for it much better than her mama could.
The Beautiful song in the film is a Finnish Lullaby, i first heard it sitting by an open camp fire on a misty evening on the hill, and i fell in love with it. sang by filming workshop attendee turned houseguest then friend Maaike Korman the next day it was recorded upstairs of our house and used in the film.

the fog returned and i exhaled.
My hands have been in the garden, hers too. goodness how magical this evening was, the fog and sunset competing, no wait dancing, they were both quietly moving together. i did not leave the scene but stared at it, walked through it, dreamt in it, and then finally fifteen months of holding it in, i exhaled…….there i am, still here, still but stirring.

..and it was to be
Tuesday with certainty was the best day of my whole life, everyday of happiness after will be rooted in that very day. We adopted our baby girl and made her name official surrounded by my parents and a few friends. Please meet the love of my life, Poet Ines Dole. I want to thank you all for you encouragement and believing that this day was possible, i will never forget it.
Here, although blurry is a captured moment after it was official between Poet and the kind Judge. I am so in love with this little being and one day soon i will share more about Adoption day.
with kindness,

no walls, fully believing.
Instead can i write you about how my heart keeps expanding so much so at times i am overtaken by tears, happy ones with grains of fear. Fear that i not only see the finish line but i feel it. the last few weeks while i stare at Poet and whatever she is doing at the time, my mind wonders taking along with it my heart to the adoption day, the court room. Although i do not know how these things play out, i do not know who will be there and who will not but i imagine some sort of final word from the Judge making it clear we are now the legal parents to our daughter and as she finishes i clench Poet and K and Sob uncontrollably from happiness all the while letting go of the fear. This scenario has been playing in my head often as of late and when it does, i find myself sobbing and shaking.
I am not supposed to go there in my mind, heart is not supposed to feel or experience this emotionally just yet, but it does. there is no wall to protect me now, i am wide open ready, waiting, scared but fully believing.
* the state might make me take this photograph down, i understand.

across the hill is beautiful. I am taking a moment to sit at my desktop, it has been ages and little hands and feet hardly allow me the luxury but i needed to write this morning. Sitting up next to the window as the sun comes in on a cool spring morning. The wind an overnight companion lingers on and i feel as if she is tapping on the window with two hands telling me something, but what? I think if i was too be honest with myself she would be saying, letting go now, right now. i ignore the now part but slowly i can feel my hands go from a clenched fist to a more relaxed grip, small steps. I have always been a leaper, diving in blindly and full heartily but my heart now belongs to Poet and i must be careful more than care free.
I am in love with so much these days, music, words and beautiful written letters and emails from true friends, glimpses into their worlds and everyday. I am in love with what I see with my eyes, i can watch her my little being do most anything and it is poetry. I have stopped doing so many things i love, but slowly i begin to revisit them.
I want to say, i love you dear reader, one should hear those words more than once in a long while.

spring is stirring inside of me
in the last few weeks, just beneath the surface of my skin, like what is happening underneath the layer of dirt, something in me is growing. Even though ice and worry keeps both the greens under my feet and the seed in me from breaking through completely, i begin to form. I have done things to sabotage myself for years, a protection, away of controlling the outcome even if it is failing. I have failed myself often, i give my all to other people- i love to see people sore, shone, fly and even though i have played the film inside the walls of my heart over and over again of actually trying to fly myself. I somehow never seem to put that much energy, encouragement, i just do not give myself what i need to succeed.
I am forming, i need to give myself the chance to fully bloom and all the risks that come with it will be no worse than not actually do it. Today i stared at the horse above and as a mix of wind and sun blew it's beautiful mane, i remember wanting to feel the wind in my hair, from somewhere high or breathing in moment that you know you made it happen.
So tonight i am writing myself a plan, steps, words, films and music anything i need to get my feet running. when the ice melts, i will be ready.
p.s. i am the happiest i have ever been,, having Poet in my life. all of me has gone into securing her future here on the hill and now recognizing that i depleted some parts of me that need to be refilled.

winter lingers on
I am listening to beautiful music play as i type this, i am also reading before bed again- oh how i missed it. The book is about Happiness and can we make ourselves even happier than we are, i am up for that challenge although i suspect that in a few months my happiness will be off the charts.
I am filled with things i want to write, some about Poet, some about me and the changes that have taken place but none of it i can tell is coming out right now, so i will leave you for now and wish you well.

a miracle.
Dear Friends, yesterday in court we were given the most beautiful gift, Poet's mother relinquished her rights making us Poet's only parents. I believe that all your well wishes along with my families help make this miracle happen. I am, i believe still in shock, it was a very powerful and kind moment that i was able to share with her birth mother one that has not quiet sunk in yet. I know that this is real and beautiful and everything i had hoped for and now i wait to legally adopt my little girl to completely feel
the reality of this incredible news. I love her so very much and i am heading home to montreal to be with my family and perhaps to be able to truly cry in the protection of their loving arms.
Thank you dear, dear friends i can never express that enough and in a short few months (to long still) i will be able to introduce you fully to this incredible being named Poet.

in her glance
This week, my mind and heart travelled to one of those places that seem endlessly dark one that has you believe the worst is possible, my feet fumbled, my mind crashed into windowless walls and breathing was barely possible, my physical body mimicking all that my soul was feeling. A frantic call for a soothing voice was met with silence or worse " what do you want me to say"….
Violins are playing now, no i mean literally and there is such deep stirring created by them and in the same time light filters in , i am awake, alive i can not lie and it's becoming clearer to me how much i have been holding my breath since April of last year when Poet entered my life with the very second came the most profound happiness and the most fear. Everything else i realize is barely there, attempting not to feel to much, not to say to much, not to be yet at the same time wanting to teach her all that i am.
Do you ever miss yourself, perhaps it is not proper to say it out loud but i do i miss the carefree believer in me, now believing is a risk and even though i write this i know i have completely surrendered every hope, dream, blood cell to this. I am so In love with this little being, that it is taking all i have to not show her how terrified i am of breaking in a millions unrecognizable pieces and even a tenth of second thought that she will not be mine or moreso that i will not be hers.
Do you know how incredible she is, to hear her say "hi"is joy itself, to feel her little hands on your face and watch her pop her head around the corner and smile, to have her reach for you and nestle her head on your chest till she falls asleep……….in her glance, in her hand, in her laughter i recognize what pure love really is.
we go to court on wednesday no miracle will happen in court that morning but just maybe the beginning of the end to not being a hundred percent sure.
beautiful music here.

Chores need to be done and a tiny being keeps me company as i do them and at times she stares through the large window pane blowing her mama kisses and having conversation with the cat. Yesterday she curled herself in a sunny spot of the wooden floor and fell asleep.
The horses are grateful for soft snow under foot and i keep getting my breath taken away at how beautiful they are against it and the landscape that is the hill. here i share some images i have taken of our winter on the hill. I have many things to keep us warm, the fire in the wood stove, the tea in our cups and soups in our belly but it is the beautiful comments you left on my last post that warmed me through my bones- i emptied out all the sorrow and filled it with hope. Thank you.
the first image of Tolstoy running through the snow, makes me love the freedom of the life we lead.

letting go…...
I have been treading on logs for so long now. Poet is still not ours and we are heading into trial and all that pressure has made me distracted from everything and everyone, except Poet. I am tired of treading and desperately wanting to touch firm soil with her in my arms. It will come soon but all this is causing me to fail so many other aspects of my life. It is lonely place at times, when all you want to do is share what brings you the most happiness but how you do it when your favorite medium is photographs and stories and those are restricted for now.
This has also caused me to not communicate with my true friends, a side of effect of being abandoned by "friends" i was truly kind to, the minute i started standing on my two feet ( although for the record i was always on my own two feet, worked hard my whole life to get here) and the minute Poet came into my life- the friends who "wished i would have a baby" never even once mentioned her in fact they seem to 'like" on instagram everything but when i share what i can of her. Well being abandoned and not knowing why has also caused me to be too cautious with other friends who i know are truer than the ones i speak about and for that i am truly sorry. There is good wonderful people in my life and i need to trust that they will not abandon me.
I have wanted to write this for so long and lacked the guts and even now as i write and tears fall i am not sure if i will be able to publish but i hope i can cause i need to let this go.
I need to let go and believe that everything will be okay, That Poet came into my life because of the good me.
With kindness and a promise to start sharing what i can here and even though this is not a phone call or a face to face chat or email it is a place you can find me open and honest, always.

Louisville beats Michigan 82-76 to win NCAA title
Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:14:54 GMT —
Spike Albrecht shined while Trey Burke sat.
After all that, Michigan and Louisville were still pretty much even. Then the Wolverines couldn't stop Louisville in the second half.
With Burke on the bench in early foul trouble, the seldom-used Albrecht scored 17 points in the first half, and the Wolverines led by 12 in Monday night's national title game. But that lead was only one at halftime, the Cardinals went on to win 82-76.
Albrecht and Burke both played plenty in the second half, but Michigan couldn't stop Louisville from converting around the basket. Albrecht went scoreless after halftime, leaving Burke - the national player of the year - to try to rally Michigan. He did his best, finishing with 24 points, but it wasn't enough.

I grew up, as I imagine most of you did, believing in the basic principles of democracy. My parents and grandparents deeply appreciated the freedoms that they experienced in the United States. My mother especially raised me to cherish the values of our country.
Among the beliefs which I firmly held from as far back as I can remember was the conviction that slavery is evil. I remember being asked by my fourth grade teacher to write a composition about Abraham Lincoln's statement, "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master."
When I looked up this quotation in preparation for this column, I found that Lincoln continued to say, "This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
My lifelong belief in the illegitimacy of slavery has been continually tested by the fact that our Torah recognizes a place for slavery in our society. The slave takes such a central place in our halachic system that Maimonides devotes an entire section of his code of law to the laws of slaves.
It is comforting to those of us for whom slavery is repugnant to learn that the institution of slavery within Jewish law and practice has been obsolete for many centuries.
However, slavery as an institution and slaves as individuals play a major role in the stories of the Bible. For instance, in this week's Torah portion, Chayei Sarah, we read of Abraham's slave and of the important mission upon which he was sent, the mission to find a suitable wife for Abraham's son, Isaac.
This slave proves to be quite persistent and ingenious. He may be a slave, but he is not slavish. He is successful in his mission, and he brings back a bride, Rebecca, for Isaac.
The Torah tells us this slave's story at great length. Indeed, our rabbis wonder why this story is told over dozens of verses, whereas there are only brief phrases dedicated to important ritual laws.
In answer to this question, our rabbis say, "More beautiful is the conversation of the slaves of the patriarchs than is the Torah of their sons." The narrative of this slave is in some way superior to Torah commandments.
The great Hasidic Rebbe of Gur, Rabbi Yehudah Leib Alter, writes in his masterwork, Sefat Emet, that he finds the above statement "wondrous." "How can the slave," he asks, "be superior to the son?" Rabbi Alter led his flock from the 1860s until the early twentieth century, and in his discourses on this week's Torah portion, he returns to this theme again and again.
He begins by pointing out that there are two modes of religious worship, two types of spiritual experiences. The first mode is that of "the slave," who obeys his Master from a distance, without really understanding Him. But this mode is a preparation for a higher one, in which the relationship is far more intimate, based upon deeper understanding.
In this manner, we all begin to worship the Almighty as slaves. And as slaves, we prepare ourselves for the next step, to worship God as His children, not as slaves.
This is the meaning, says the Sefat Emet, of the rabbinic statement, "More beautiful is the conversation of the slaves of the patriarchs than is the Torah of their sons." More beautiful is the stage of preparation than the stage of achievement.
This approach helps us to understand how our sages can also say, "More beautiful is a moment of repentance and good deeds in this mundane world than is eternal life in the world to come." The spiritual preparations which are only possible in this material world are in some ways superior even to the delights of paradise.
One can take this idea further and come to realize that the six days of the week, with their ordinary concerns of work and profit, are "more beautiful" than even the Sabbath itself. Without the precedent of six days of chol, the profane, we could not achieve kodesh, the hallowed; in this case, the sacred Shabbat.
There is such a profound lesson for all of us in this approach. We seek instant gratification in all of our objectives, even within the realm of spirituality. We all desire spiritual "highs." But the reflections summarized above teach us that we must first go through a long period of servitude, of hard religious work, before we can attain the experiences of true spirituality.
Slaves of the Almighty have a place even in Abraham Lincoln's world, even in a democratic society. We must be servants of God before we can become His children.

Judge rules Florida man did not act in self defense in shootingsBy DAVID OVALLE
The Miami Herald
April 26. 2013 10:53PM
MIAMI - An Opa-locka man did not act in self-defense when he shot and killed two unarmed men outside a Chili's Bar & Grill, a judge ruled Friday.
Gabriel Mobley is charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the February 2008 killings of Jason Jesus Gonzalez and Rolando Carrazana, both 24.
Circuit Judge Thomas Rebull's decision means Mobley will now face a jury trial. While Rebull did not grant Mobley "immunity," he can still argue self-defense at a jury trial.
"It was a tough decision, but we think the judge properly reviewed the evidence," prosecutor Kathleen Hoague said. "This case really needs to be considered by a jury."
On the night of the shooting, an argument between two groups of men escalated when Gonzalez punched one of Mobley's pals in the restaurant parking lot.
Mobley, who had a concealed weapons permit and cooperated with police, pulled a pistol and shot the men dead. At a Stand Your Ground hearing in January, Mobley claimed he saw Carranza rushing up and thought he had a weapon.
"I was scared, and then I seen this other guy coming up from the back and then he reached up under his shirt so I was scared," Mobley testified. "I thought, you know, they were going to shoot or kill us."
Prosecutors charged Mobley five months later after analyzing surveillance video of the shooting.
The shooting was seen as a key test of Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law, which eliminated a citizen's "duty to retreat" before using lethal force in the face of a threat.
The law also gave judges greater leeway to throw out criminal charges if they deemed somebody acted in self-defense. In Miami-Dade, so far, judges have thrown out three murder cases based on the law.
The law came under national scrutiny last year when a man claimed self-defense when he killed an unarmed teen, Trayvon Martin, during a physical fight in Sanford. George Zimmerman was eventually charged with second-degree murder and is awaiting trial.

Square Pegs, Round Holes
I'm working on a Shaker-inspired stepback cupboard (that will function as a entertainment center for a flat-panel television) for the February 2009 issue of Popular Woodworking. All but the back is frame-and-panel construction, so almost every joint in the piece is a mortise and tenon. To add strength as well as incorporate a traditional design element, I decided to peg all the joints, including the shelves in the upper section that are seated in grooves.
The first decision when pegging is what kind of wood to use for the pegs. You should select a species that's harder than the primary wood in your project, as you'll be pounding a square peg into a round hole. You want the hole to reshape to square as the peg it seated…not have the square peg turn into a dowel. Also, consider how much visual impact you want from the pegs –they're end grain, so they'll soak up more finish than the surrounding wood. My piece is cherry; my pegs are white oak.
After you've selected the wood, mill it to size. I planed the oak to a hair over 1/4″ in thickness, then ripped it square at the table saw using a sacrificial push stick. Make a lot of sticks; you'll need them.
Lightly taper both ends of each stick. I used an old-fashioned pencil sharpener on the fat, first-grade pencil setting. Don't sharpen to a pencil point – the peg should be tapered enough only to get started in your holes. If you don't have a crank-handled pencil sharpener, you'll probably have to whittle the end of your pegs – the holes in most automatic sharpeners won't accommodate your sticks.
Now cut your pegs to length – you want them to be long enough to seat at least 3/4″ into the joint, and it's up to you whether you'll seat each one fully, or leave them proud then flush-cut (or sand) them flat. My pegs were each 1-1/2: long; I found it easiest (and safest) to set up a saw hook with a stop and simply butt the sharp end of each stick against the stop, then saw (each one takes only a few strokes). You could also use a band saw, but be careful – your fingers will be very close to the blade. Then resharpen both ends of your remaining stick, and repeat. You need a lot of pegs.
Before pegging your project, make a test board from an offcut of your primary wood. Test a few drill bits until you find the hole size that results in the best-looking seated peg – the smallest round hole into which you can drive a square peg with strong hammer or mallet whacks, without breaking the peg. Start with a drill bit 1/32″ or so smaller than your peg size, and work your way up or down as necessary. With pegs of just more than 1/4″, I wanted to start with a 7/64″ bit…but despite having four cases for brad-point-bit sets in the shop, the 7/64″ bit was missing from all of them. So I settled on a 1/4″ bit instead.
Carefully lay out the hole locations and be conscious not to drill too close to an edge – the heavy pounding could split the workpiece…say at the end of a stile on a door that took three hours to build (thank goodness it showed only on the backside – and a little CA glue took care of the problem). I drilled my 1/4″ holes 1-1/4″ deep into the legs, and clear through the doors and face frame.
Now get ready to whack. Smear yellow glue on the pointy end of the peg (or in the hole), stick the pointy end in the hole, then whack with a hammer or mallet until it's fully seated and the hole is square. Then (if you made your pegs long enough to leave them proud) flush the peg to the workpiece surface (with a flush-cut saw or sandpaper…or both). On my frame and doors, the pegs went through and had to be flushed on both sides (side note: make sure you fully support any workpiece on which you're whacking, perhaps by locating the peg hole over a dog hole in your bench). I could have continued whacking and fully seated them to the show surface, but I was afraid of "frenching" my workpiece. Better to make two cuts at each location than dent the show side with a mallet.
With Senior Editor Glen D. Huey's help, I sprayed the completed project with two coats of shellac and two coats of lacquer. The pegs "pop" and look great…and now, even if I didn't get enough glue in my mortises, those pegs will hold the joints tight for decades to come. PW

New Yorkers pride themselves on the Statue of Liberty, San Franciscans the Golden Gate Bridge. Both are sturdy, sensible landmarks that reflect well on the cities surrounding them.
Then there's Seattle, with a '60s-era spaceship revolving 605 feet above the city.
But Seattle residents wouldn't have it any other way. That's why they've been partying for months to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Space Needle, their iconic landmark in the sky, built as a tourist attraction for the city's 1962 World's Fair.
In honor of the birthday, I revisited the Jetson-esque Needle for the first time in years and found it well-dressed for the party, following a $25-million face-lift. It's decked out with a "Galaxy Gold" coat of paint, oodles of oldies music wafting through the sound system and some high-tech additions such as touch-screen interactive maps. Tickets range from $12 for children ages 4 to 12 to $19 for adults (400 Broad St., Seattle; [206] 905-2111).
The bed
W Seattle doesn't have as good a view of Puget Sound as the Space Needle does, but at 26 floors, it offers a sparkling panorama of downtown Seattle. The hotel, which underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation earlier this year, has an updated lobby and a new restaurant and bar called Trace. But I was too entranced with the view to spend much time in the lobby. I whiled away the evening at the window of my room admiring the city far below (1112 4th Ave.,; [206] 264-6000. Rates start at $259).
The meal
I knew the Space Needle's restaurant, SkyCity, would be pricey, but as the oldest revolving restaurant in the world and one of the 25 busiest restaurants in the nation, it deserved a try. The food and service were great. Add the sightseeing factor, and my $29 ahi salad seemed worth the expense. Lunch entrees from $25 to $35; dinner from $38 to $58.
The find
At the base of the Needle at the Seattle Center sits a new city landmark, Chihuly Garden and Glass, a $20-million, 45,000-square-feet exhibition of master glass artist Dale Chihuly. The sculptor's vivid glass works are displayed both inside and outside. Some can be viewed without paying the admission fee, but the show itself is a Technicolor explosion that's too quirky and colorful to miss. Tickets are $12 for children ages 4 to 12 and $19 for ages 13 to 64 but can be combined with Space Needle admission for $21 for children and $33 for adults.
The lesson learned
Riding the Monorail from downtown to the Space Needle was a blast from the past that cost only $2.25. I decided to walk back, though. Seattle is a great city for walkers.
The tab
Airfares aside, the price tag was about $350.

New DiveFilm Video & Podcast
Posted 19 November 2006 - 09:45 AM
Just back from DEMA and post-DEMA dive trip--it was great to meet all the WP folks in person and be able to put faces with names. I had a great time!
Two New DiveFilm releases: on the website itself as the top video is Leandro Blanco's very powerful "Bad to the Bone." If you haven't already seen this short film, make it a point as it is (in true Blanco style) simply incredible. It is dedicated to shark victims, and a poignant homage to sharks. Leandro Blanco has once again raised the bar for creative compositing and editing of underwater short videos, as well as music composition and performance.
The latest DiveFilm Podcast Video is a glimpse of a TV series called, "Sea Inside, Pacific Northwest," produced by John Williams of Still Hope Productions, Inc.

Best of all, he works as an airline pilot, and edits his UW movies on long haul flights between takeoff and landing, to kill time...
Yes, Leandro Blanco is extremely talented! And he's incredibly dedicated to applying his art to protecting marine life and raising awareness. I've put an extended bio up about him at DiveFilm.com so folks can learn more about him. Also, for those of us struggling to improve our editing (which for me can sometimes feel like progress is elusive), it's helpful to know that he has been honing his skills and art for many years in many different forms. It takes lots of hard work and years of practice. So, keep at it, and check out his work for great inspiration!
Leo Blanco is one of my heroes!

Loftus: I agree .. I was already thinking about borrowing some gear yesterday before I watched this .. I am slowly getting back into video .. on land anyways ... maybe I should try underwater again.
The video shooting had great content .. but the way he pieced it all together was magical .. oh and damn it he has a cool sounding name to go with it all too !

... it has been a while since I have had a video podcast I haven't turned off before it was finished .. not that this was podcast .. but WOW
Does anyone out there have an underwater video for a DiveFilm Podcast Video under five minutes in length that will keep Giles watching right through to the end?? If anyone thinks they have one that might do it, please contact me via PM and we'll make arrangements for you to submit your video to possibly be podcast as an upcoming episode!

I also subscribe to the Photoshop guys .. who do 45 minute Photoshop tutorials .. those can sometimes drag on .. but come out quite regularly.
That and some News Vidcasts .. well they don't always get played all the way through
I have a question .. I had a problem with the videos being stuttery about a month ago .. I found out it was a quicktime issue .. so I altered some suggested settings in quicktime and it was fine .. I dont remember what I did .. but it started happening again .. anyone know how to fix it ?
Posted 07 December 2006 - 09:06 AM
On a serious note, though, I'm concerned about the video stuttering issue you're experiencing. Are you on a Mac or PC? Which version of iTunes and Quicktime? Are the videos stuttery on your computer or are you watching them on an iPod? Have you downloaded the podcasts to your HD ("get episode" or "update podcast") and then are watching them in the iTunes interface? One suggestion is to open the video itself in QuickTime Player (not through the iTunes interface) and see if it still stutters. If not, it would probably be an iTunes issue.
There's a troubleshooting doc for Windows users available thru Apple that addresses some settings issues. It's really important for me to know what's happening to viewers and how to troubleshoot. So please let me know more about your set-up and results, Giles!

ON TIME: Dior's first full-blown cruise runway show in New York kicked off relatively on time on Monday evening, and perhaps Charlize Theron helped. The Dior perfume face arrived with pleasant punctuality to support the brand. "[John Galliano] really understands how women want to feel. When I wear his clothes I feel so feminine. And he's not afraid to make a woman look sexy," said Theron as she dispatched a handler to fetch some red wine for her mother. The actress was in town for a couple of days to shoot the new J'adore campaign.
Nearby, omnipresent Dita Von Teese admitted she had never worn Dior for one of her famous striptease acts (she'll be performing at a benefit for the Museum of Sex this week). But if the former Mrs. Marilyn Manson has her way, that will change. "I'm working on a new act right now and I'd really love to incorporate haute couture into it," she revealed.
Kylie Minogue (so tiny she went unnoticed by most photographers) was finding inspiration of her own while in town. "I went to see Blossom Dearie today," she enthused of the octogenarian jazz artist. "She inspired some of the tracks on my last album….I'm working on a new one now. After Cannes, I'm going to Stockholm to do some recording."
As guests fanned themselves in their seats waiting for the show to start, Penélope Cruz was rushed to her place next to Sidney Toledano. "I think Galliano is a genius," she proclaimed, minutes before the show began.
But Galliano's cobblery left something to be desired. Early on in the presentation, a trembling blonde Milana, wearing the designer's towering ball-bedecked heels, took a tumble at the end of the runway and almost toppled again onto Candy Pratts Price before a Dior handler came to her rescue. And later, during the final lineup, May Andersen was so wobbly in her shoes she clutched two friends' hands just to make it down and back in one piece.
This story first appeared in the May 16, 2007 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Backstage after the show, as Ellen Pompeo and Fabiola Beracasa discussed their favorite Dior looks while waiting to congratulate the designer, a still visibly trembling Milana put on a brave face despite her tears.
"My body was breaking!" she exclaimed. "It was the first time I ever fell. But everyone falls, right?"
CAMEO APPEARANCE: Azzedine Alaïa may be joining festival-ites on the red carpet at Cannes next week for the premiere of Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." In the movie, the elusive designer, a close friend of Schnabel, can be spotted dressing a model on a podium in his hallowed headquarters in Paris.
AT YOUR SERVICE: Designer Tadashi Shoji's decision to outfit the newly revamped Ivy Hotel's employees was no small undertaking. For starters, the staff is 400 strong. When all was said and done, he came up with 30 different looks, including a navy pantsuit with a plunging V-neck for bartenders, a lace-trimmed minidress for cocktail waitresses and a fitted sleeveless dress and jacket for concierges. The 159-room San Diego spread has been spruced up at a cost of $65 million and an opening party is planned for May 24. But Tadashi already has turned his attention to other things — namely the May 28 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City, where he will suit up contestants in his eveningwear.
GEORGE AND GIORGIO: While the summer movie lineup may offer plenty of action, fashion, for the most part, is more fantastical than fabulous: webbed suits, pirate blouses and oversized ogre sacks. But a little latter-day Rat Packer style is set to seep into the blockbuster onslaught courtesy of "Ocean's Thirteen" and Giorgio Armani. The Italian designer collaborated with Hollywood costume designer Louise Frogley to create the on-screen looks for George Clooney's Danny Ocean in the third installment of the heist franchise. Clooney, a regular front-rower at Armani shows and a friend of the designer, said in a statement that the idea of the collaboration came about last summer during a dinner at his Lake Como villa, where both Armani and Ocean's producer, Jerry Weintraub, were guests. Frogley selected a series of clean, tailored looks from Armani's Hand-Made-to-Measure collection, a category that didn't exist 27 years ago when Armani made his first and most memorable foray into film, outfitting Richard Gere in the Eighties' "American Gigolo." Three decades later, Armani is clearly still enjoying his Hollywood connection. "Dressing George Clooney is every designer's dream," Armani stated. "He inspires me, as Cary Grant did a generation ago." "Ocean's Thirteen" opens June 8.

Inauguration Day coinciding with Martin Luther King Jr. Day will deprive Washington, D.C., area federal employees of one paid holiday, according to The Washington Post.
D.C area federal employees looking forward to their quadrennial paid holiday will be left disappointed this year because of a quirk in the calendar. Normally, Inauguration Day, legally mandated to occur on Jan. 20, would have given capital area feds a paid day off to help reduce traffic, and help with logistics and security in the city.
However, with Jan. 20 falling on a Sunday this year, the public ceremonies were moved to Jan. 21, which is already a legal public holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Office of Personnel Management said that if Inauguration Day falls on a non-workday, as it does this year, "there is no provision for an 'in lieu of' holiday."
According to a statement from the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, this is the seventh time that Jan. 20 has fallen on a Sunday, the last time being Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in 1985. The statement also said that it was the second time that Martin Luther King Jr. Day had coincided with a presidential inauguration, the first time being President Bill Clinton's second term ceremonies.
Rest assured, President Obama is still planning on fulfilling his constitutionally mandated duties by swearing in during a private ceremony on Jan. 20.

Dolphin Music Gibson Lifetime Warranty
Only products that are purchased from a Gibson Authorised Dealer (like ourselves) are covered by their Limited Lifetime Warranty*. This warranty is non-transferable. A purchase from a non-authorized dealer (like Amazon, eBay and many other online retailers who sell Gibson but don't have the stamp of approval) means that you are buying a guitar second hand, even if it has never been out of the case and is being sold as "new", and thus warranty is null and void.
- Gibson's Limited Lifetime Warranty is just one of the many benefits that only Gibson Authorized Dealers can provide
- Dolphin Music offers you a broad selection of Gibson guitars with the best variety and the most up-to-date Gibson and Epiphone products
- We have extensive expertise with Gibson products and knowledge of Gibson history
- As an authorised dealer, we offer warranty replacement parts. If you buy from an unauthorized dealer, if there is a problem with your product, you won't have this advantage and it could cost you £100's to fix
- Dolphin Music will offer you the best in customer service. Dolphin Music have a great relationship with customers and can find the guitar that's best for their needs
Fake Gibson Guitars, how can you spot one?
There are also counterfeit models of Gibson Instruments being sold all over the world. These cheaper, inferior guitars are pale limitations of the quality, performance and craftsmanship of real Gibsons. The battle against the problem of counterfeit instruments has been ongoing for years. We've got a number of articles you can look at so you can see how to spot a fake:

MURRYSVILLE, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- A day after a Murrysville, Pennsylvania, teen allegedly rampaged through his high school's hallways, stabbing wildly with two kitchen knives, the first hints of a possible motive began to emerge.
The attorney for 16-year-old Alex Hribal raised the specter that his client may have been bullied, telling CNN affiliate WTAE in Pittsburgh on Thursday that it looks like some kind of "bullying event" may have played a role.
"I think a lot of things have happened. I don't want to comment specifically, but I think there are some things that occurred that led to where we are today," Patrick Thomassey said.
Hribal, a sophomore, was charged as an adult and faces four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault in connection with Wednesday's attack at Franklin Regional Senior High School that left 20 teens and one adult wounded.
Some classmates at the school describe Hribal as having few friends and being quiet but also as a "really nice kid," a description that contradicts the image of a knife-wielding teen offered by authorities.
Murrysville Police Chief Tom Seefeld said investigators haven't yet made sense of the mass stabbing.
"We believe, through the investigation, that this was random," he told CNN's "New Day." "We don't have anybody that was targeted, as far as we know at this point."
Still, there were more questions than answers about what led the teen to allegedly attack his classmates with two steak knives believed to have been taken from his family's home.
"We're going to try to figure out what happened here. Obviously, there's a problem. You just don't leave and go to school, and do what he did yesterday," Thomassey told CNN earlier in the day.
There is "some deep-rooted problem somewhere that caused him to do this."
One thread that police are looking into is the possibility that there was a phone threat the night before, Seefeld said.
But no immediate evidence has been found to confirm such a call, and Thomassey discounted the allegation.
"He was home all night the night before this occurred, with his parents," he told WTAE. "They did not see him on the phone arguing with anybody."
The FBI has seized electronics belonging to Hribal, including a computer and cell phone, and will analyze them for any clues, the police chief said.
In a telephone call Thursday, President Barack Obama assured Franklin Principal Ron Suvak that the FBI will continue to assist in the investigation, the White House said.
'All kind of a blur'
Questions are also being raised by residents of Murrysville, a quiet middle-class enclave with a population of 20,000 east of Pittsburgh.
How did this happen, and why?
"We are so small compared to other communities," said Paula Fisher, who left Pittsburgh to move to Murrysville almost 20 years ago.
"I came out here purposely to raise my children in a school district that we felt was safe as well as academically sound."
The mother of one of the teens wounded in the attack said everyone must ask themselves what alienated the suspect so much that he allegedly stabbed and slashed nearly two dozen people.
"...We need to look and say, how are our children coping with social skills these days? How are they with other children? How are they being tested in the world for negative or positive ways?" said Amanda Hurt.
Her son, Brett, was in the school hallway when he saw a "kid" run by and hit him in the back.
A friend who was with him started screaming.
"I didn't really know what was going on at the time," Hurt told reporters. "It was all kind of a blur."
As the attacker continued to charge down the crowded hallway, Hurt began to wonder if he was going to survive or die.
Speaking from the hospital, Hurt said he suffered a stab wound in the back and a bruised lung. He expected to be released as early as Thursday.
He reflected on whether Hribal would have chosen the path he allegedly did if he had had more friends or a better support group.
"I feel he has some issues he has to work out," Hurt said.
Another student at the school who witnessed the attack said the attacker didn't utter a word.
"He was very quiet. He just was kind of doing it," Mia Meixner said. "And he had this, like, look on his face that he was just crazy and he was just running around, just stabbing whoever was in his way."
The attack ended when the assistant principal, Sam King, tackled the teen, authorities said.
The accused attacker, Hribal, lived on the same street as King, just two houses down.
'Not a dysfunctional family'
Hribal couldn't seem more normal, the way his lawyer describes him.
"This is not a dysfunctional family," Thomassey, told CNN on Thursday. "They're like the Brady Bunch. These parents are active with their two sons, and we're trying to figure out what happened."
The young man also did not seem to embody the cliche of digitally connected youth.
According to Dan Stevens, the county deputy emergency management coordinator, Hribal had a very minor Facebook presence and didn't have much experience on Twitter.
Thomassey said he would file a motion to move the case to juvenile court.
Westmoreland County District Attorney John Peck has argued against bail, saying that there could be no conditions that would protect the community and that Hribal made "statements when subdued by officials that he wanted to die."
Hribal is being held without bail at the Westmoreland County juvenile detention center. He was treated for injuries to his hands, police said.
The students who were hurt range in age from 14 to 17, emergency coordinator Stevens said. The injuries were stabbing-related, such as lacerations or punctures.

My point exactly. We already have that SN channel that does not form part of the Shaw HD package. I see more like this with free game three nights a week, spread out by teams and eventually a migration to more PPV options.
If that happens I go back to a spread it viewer. Been there done that and I have no interest in paying any more than info now for television viewing.
I may have to start drinking again so I can go to the bars and watch games
Competition is good. This deal destroys competition. This is a bad thing IMHO.

Great services overall. It's just a shame my van was too far gone and not worth fixing
Excellent service
Excellent customer service and very reasonable prices, also the option to pay in 4 monthly installments and it's interest free, they will even collect your car from home or work and return it when it's fixed or theres a courtesy car option for free. Fantastic experience and I will definately be using them for all my mechanical work from now on.
Guys sorted me out at half the cost of my usual garage. Would defo recomend them.
Fantastic service from friendly staff. We were in Glasgow when car warning lights appeared and were unsure who to contact. Through whocanfixyourcar.com we were given Drivers Aotocentres Ltd to contact, who did a fantastic job in getting us back on the road. , The fault was much more complicated than at first thought, but they got the job done at a very reasonable price. Thank goodness we were directed to a reliable garage who obviously know what they are doing and charges in my opinion were very reasonable in the circumstances. Should I ever be in the area and have car problems I know who I will call. Drivers Autocentres Ltd are highly recommended.
Fantastic service quick and efficient will use again. Highly recommended
Great service and on time
Job done at an extremely good price (almost 1/3rd of main dealer cost) Car picked up and delivered back. No complaints at all. Will certainly use again and recommend to anybody.
Fantastic service from Auto Solutions. Collected my car and re-delivered to my house fixed within 48 hours. Price rose slightly by my own choosing due to them suggesting having the timing belt replaced whilst they had already stripped the car back. Highly recommend them and will likely be using them again in the future, super fast service.
good service, friendly people. Replaced timing chain, filters and all tippers. No more rattling noise when I drive!!
The perfect garage
Brilliant service. Collected and dropped off car with no problems. Car brake pads replaced and dealt with professionally from start to finish.
Job done quickly and will use this. Business again
Patrick Was very helpful, picked up and returned car and did a great job on the respray.
have owned my current car for 12 years during which time I have carefully maintained it. In the main it has normally gone to a main Ford dealer for servicing/repair work, however over the last few years due to the car getting older and moreso due to the ever increasingly over inflated prices that main Ford dealers charge, I have been looking for cheaper alternatives for repairs and subsequently have had several jobs carried out via this site. The first two jobs via this website were not good experiences due to poor workmanship and being charged for work that was never done. However my recent experience with this latest job has restored my faith in this site . Patrick the owner is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, he took the time to go on a test drive with me and confirmed the knocking noise that I was complaining about and identified the general area it was coming from. The car was booked in for repair the following week and subsequently when the car was in the workshop the mechanic quickly identified the exact problem part which was then ordered and replaced within an hour at a very reasonable price. The main Ford dealer who I had taken the car to prior to taking it to Patrick had actualy incorrectly diagnosed the problem and once again quoted a hugely over inflated price to get it repaired, it was the price they were charging that made me turn to this site again and this time I'm glad I did. The car is now back to how I'm used to it being and I would definitely recommend this garage and will certainly be using them again in the future
Quick and straight to the point.
These guys are brilliant, and always offer the best service at the best price. I've used them 3 times now and wont be going anywhere else. They collect from my work and always have it back, work complete the same day. Highly recommended! A+++
Garage collected and dropped of the car - quoted a second job at a very competitive price too! Everything fixed, no hassle. Would recommend.
Excellent service - competitive price - would definitely recommend this garage
Great job. Great price.
Clutch and flywheel replaced but found a hydraulic leak which needed a back order part. Kept me well informed and very apologetic as took a few days to arrive but quoted price of part first and didn't charge for its fitting. Great service.
Fantastic service delivered will definitely be my go to garage!!
Fast and efficient. Very impressed.
All work done to spec and cost
Fantastic same day service at a great price. Thank you do much.
Really good an busy garage,did a good job,friendly people working. I will be comming back and can recommend
Renault clio (65) £90 for full service labour only and mot. Parts supplied by owner. Guys did a great job and the mechanic had very nice manors and a funny sense of humour. Waited during the service and mot, was told it would take up to 2 hours but took 3 hours which was OK. They have KFC and chunky chicken near by to help u wait lol. Will use again for my next service. Traveled from Shaw which was about 9 miles away but worth it :) Mechanic left old parts in the bad as requested and my 1st mot passed. Thank you very much for the service. Wanted a good mechanic to do my fuel filter as its not an easy place to get to and didn't want my local shady mechanic to touch my car again. Oh I left about 4 chicken wings on your chair, sorry I forgot to take em, hope someone had them :) don't like wasting food.
I am satisfied.
I also had other work done . Full service brake pads all round and linkage arm was broken. It was booked for just the service but no problem for them to do the other work at the same time. Very happy with the work and price will return
The brakes were fixed quickly and well, the guys were very nice and kept me updated as the work was being done. Very good, and will certainly use them again.
6 reviews
Easy Going. Everything explained clearly and methodically. I will not hesitate to use again even though out of my area.
Great quick service. I arrived earlier than my appointment and was seen straight away. Took under an hour! Great job. Thanks guys.
Very efficient and helpful staff. Everything was ready much quicker than I expected. Highly recommended.
Great, cheerful service; transferred booking from east to west branch within a couple of hours of original booking when tester was off ill on the day at my request.
