jungle fever my adventures in interracial dating
its attraction.
I have been in many interracial relationships from White women to Asian women to Latino women and right now I am single and looking for my one true love and whatever race that she maybe if god sends her to me if I find her it will not matter to me.Love is a powerful force,Attraction is a very powerful force,when a man and a woman are attracted to each other nothing matters and nothing and no one can stop it.Try if you will,but know this,standing between a man and a woman caught up in the full gravity of love,is like trying to stop the earth from orbiting the sun.True Love is impossible to stop,and true love starts with Attraction.Wars have been fought over love.Kings have renounced their thrones because of love.Men and Women have turned their backs on their families...forever.For love.So trust me when I say nothing can stop true love between a man and a woman.When it comes to the affairs of the heart RACE MEANS NOTHING.And that's the truth.
green eyed redhead in a grey sweat suit
I had just processed in from Germany and just arrived for my first tour of duty in the states at Fort Polk.I wasn't alone in my arrival from Germany, it was about twenty of us that came from the same base different batteries but the same base.It's the weekend and we are doing what young soldiers that just arrived from Germany do best.Partying like its 1999.I'm in the game-room shooting billiards are pool as we call it in the south.I'm buzzing pretty good talking trash kicking ass and taking names,and talking more trash.I'm what you call a sore winner when I'm winning I'm going to let you know.Along with everyone else that's around.Next on the table is this green eyed redhead in a grey army sweat suit."My name is yon but you can call me the G.O.A.T,the greatest of all time,don't take this spanking personal." She responds "Alright." About a hour later I'm four games down,shes laughing and giggling and all the fellas in the game-room are clowning the crap out of me.After sucking it up and still talking trash to all the trash talkers that I defeated on the table,I make my way back to the barracks and crash.
Love is in bloom
After that day on the pool table I ran into red a lot around the base,she had a very unusual since of humor,she was able to make me laugh no matter what mood I was in.And that's saying something because its not that easy to make me laugh.We hung out on a regular basis my friends starting calling her my "unofficial" official girlfriend.We would hang out around base go to events and just chill.Then one-day we decided to venture out off base into the real world,you see mixed couples in the military means absolutely nothing.But in some places off base that could be a problem.So like I was saying we decided to head to the mall in Alexandria a small city about a hundred miles off base.
the mall
When we arrived at the mall,while walking to the entrance I was called a sell out and she was called a whore by a group of black women, she ignored them,me?I called them every name I could think of.That's just me.I respond.Making our way through the hardware department in the mall I ran into two rednecks snarling and growling and shouting out racial slurs at me,porch monkey,moon cricket,and on and on,she ignored them,me I responded,that's me."come on, don't worry about them." she said grabbing my hand we continued our walk through the mall going from store to store while she was trying on different outfits and talking about whatever she was talking about I was trying to hide the fact that I was pissed.We continued on our date by going to the arcade and playing a couple of games,having fun,but I was still pissed.We resumed our stroll around the mall,I stopped at the bar which was located in the middle of the mall and got a forty four ounce Long Island Ice tea,my choice of drink back then.We continued to stroll around the mall in and out of stores the more bags she collected the more bags I carried.The long island ice tea caught up with me and I had to hit the restroom.I'm drying off my hands and getting ready to exit when one of the rednecks I got into it with earlier enters.I'm standing there looking at this moron,listening to the hate coming out of his mouth and I am amazed that he seems to think he's going to kick my ass.I'm standing there he's fuming and building up then it happens... he swings,I sidestep, grab his wrist and neck and hip toss him, slamming his head on the restroom counter.Now I have him pent down on the counter, I give him my crazy face (every vet has one,I got mine from watching Kung-Fu theater) I wipe all emotion from my face and focus all my anger into my eyes and I calmly say "I am a soldier in the united states army,don't make me hurt you."Our eyes are locked and I hold him there for a few seconds,which seems like an eternity,then I let him up.He bolts out the door cussing and calling me names.I straighten up a bit and let my nerves cool before I resume my date with red.
She must be easy.
Back at the base,in our own little world,everythings going great.I'm cruising over to reds to pick her up,me and the fellows are having a cookout,when I get there she doesn't want to go,she wants to stay in.I'm puzzled as I was heading for my car her roommate stops me.She tells me that one of my so called "friends" came on to red,assuming that because she was white and she was dating a black-man that she must be easy,and because he was black all he had to do was ask and she would give in."O.K." I hopped into my ride and head to the cook out.When I get there I meet and greet everyone and I turn to my "friend" and say "Ride with me to the P.X. (store) my girlfriend is coming and she's bringing some friends,we're going to need some more stuff."We make our way to the P.X. and grab three cases of beer and some buns and a couple of packs of hot dogs and other stuff.Load the stuff into the car and head back.I pull off the road into a large grass field "Get out man,I need to talk to you about something." We both exit the car I immediately fire off two knuckle sandwiches to his mouth,he rushes me picks me up and body slams me into the grass I pop up catch him with a hook to the jaw,he catches me with a shot to the ribs and now we are rolling around in the grass,we break apart, both back on our feet now he yells " Whats your f#@#$! problem man?!?" I come back with "My girlfriend is me! you disrespect her you disrespect me!" For a minute we just stand there facing off moving around watching each other," Look man,I'm an asshole O.K.?I'm sorry alright?" He says offering his hand "Yeah..its all good." I respond accepting his apology.We make our way back to the cookout everyone looking at us like "what happened?" Because we have grass and dirt stains on our clothes.I clean up and head over to reds after a little begging and pleading her and her roommate decide to come to the cookout.The night is going great everyone is having a good time my friend has manned up and apologized to red,I'm sitting back watching everyone at the cookout my eyes lock onto red and I think "This is my girlfriend,if I have to slap the crap out of a black-man and a white-man every once in awhile...So Be It." Peace I'm Audi 5000.
Very interesting indeed
Bill, where have you been bro? Stop by my hub.
Come on over, the water is warm---good environment for a shark biting liberals.
You can check out my newest post regarding the liberal writer for the Washington Montly--Steve Benen.
One of these days you'll tell me how to post pictures or video to an article.
Hey Bill, still out here just been busy making sure the business survives this econnomy. On interracial relationships, I can speak from experience, my wife of 23 years was Black, although I lost her 6 years ago to cancer I have our memories and the beautiful daughter we had.
The Shark
Hey there Bill!
Very interesting writing! Those pictures are very cool!
I'm having trouble getting pics attached without losing my internet connection. Keep up the writing.
This was interesting to read; entertaining stories with bouts of humor and ass kicking... Hmm, I never knew G.O.A.T. stood for "greatest of all time." Ha-ha!
Oh, good luck in the dating pool and your search for a new gal. Maybe you'll find a big booty babe that isn't too crazy in the head. :)

Italian Artist Gino Marotta is regarded by many critics as one of the best representatives of Italian pop art. Now almost 70, he continues to experiment with different mediums as a means of artistic and philosophical expression.
Having traveled to India, Pakistan and Korea, Marotta's latest exhibition The Color of Light is ending its Asian tour in Taiwan.
The exhibition's collection of methacrylates (metal and acrylic works) are skillfully carved with creative scenes that are rich in color. The images, which are based on the natural world, have been carved out of plastic, mounted onto a transparent piece of acrylic and then hung like three-dimensional paintings.
The simple, yet vibrant images resemble children's stencils.When looking at these works, it is easy to miss the complex emotions and message said to be conveyed, and merely enjoy them for the way they are presented.
According to art critic Maurizio Vitta, the line of light and color that defines the animal and plant shapes used in Marotta's paintings also acts as a gateway to the most significant part of his work: the empty space that separates it from the transparent plastic surface it is mounted on.
"His continual wander from concrete objects [the shape] to its transparent double [part that it's mounted on] results in an illuminating destabilization: the truth of the world is presented as a dilemma between two equally convincing options, but it has to follow the narrow way that can be imagined between them," Vittain says in a review of the artist's exhibition.
After viewing the exhibition, it's possible to see how Vitta makes the connection between the cut-out shape and solid plastic as a representation of two opposing ideologies and the space between as a middle path, yet his philosophical analysis of this particular exhibit seems slightly exaggerated.
Marotta's use of plastic as a medium to make pop art representative of the late 20th century, however, is absorbing in its own right. Italian pop art may have found its origins in the 1960s but these 12 works illustrate Marotta's consistent command of the movement.
His use of plastic, a ubiquitous industrial material that is often thought of as being either cheap, tacky or both, transforms his art into a way of looking at the world with a skeptical eye.
The landscapes made from florescent plastic are like reflections on the superficially created environments around us.
Equally appealing is Marotta's use of religious iconography, which is not restricted to one religion. The crescent moon and camel images, which might have more effect in Muslim regions, suggest that the artist wishes to transcend the religious majorities of his own culture to appeal to those in another and to imply perhaps that the artificial beautification of society is a global phenomenon.
It may also hint at the plasticization and commercialization of religion in contemporary society.

Rural estate with 5-bedroomed family home - 2 gites - lake - pool
Room for development and campsite
€875,000 * (ref 212)
Mirepoix is a much appreciated mediaeval town at the foot of the Pyrenees. Between Mirepoix and Carcassonne - the main tourist draw and airport in the region - is a beautiful area of rolling sunflower-covered hills, vineyards and forest dotted with tiny villages and ancient churches.
This property is in the centre of this region: a secluded estate on the outskirts of a village with no visible neighbours.
As the above picture shows, the main buildings form a large square with elegant arcades sheltering the main house - a 5 bedroom family home - which gives on to a courtyard flanked by two barns. The big four-bedroomed gite is in the building opposite the main house. The second gite - the cottage - is at one end of the main house complex.
Behind the buildings the land falls away in a series of wooded terraces (which were used many years ago as a campsite housing caravans and tents) to a beautiful lake. There are three hectares of land in all.
The main house is a recently-renovated five-bedroomed family home. The ground floor is given over to a vast open-space kitchen/dining/living area and another more intimate lounge and billiard room. Upstairs there are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. One of the features of this building is the balcony running the length of the first floor, accessible to all the bedrooms. Oil-fired central heating, a massive wood-burner, double-glazing and good insulation ensure that there is a high level of comfort.
The big gite is comprised of a large kitchen/diner on the ground floor plus one double bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs there are three more bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the features of this house is the 'sun parlour' on the south-facing part of the gite which affords superb views over the forest and mountains beyond.
Gite n° 2 is at one end of the main house and is a simple lounge/kitchen downstairs and two double/twin rooms upstairs with bathroom. It has its own separate entrance and patio/terrace.
The pool is located on a discreet terrace below the main buildings on the southern side.
The rest of the premises is made up of two enormous barns: one is open on three sides and is used for parking. The other is a long structure on two floors with two vast surfaces of about 250m² each. These have been variously earmarked as possible concert venues, gyms, yoga workshops or conference centres ... but the obvious use is for two more gites AND an events/meeting room.
Finally, the three hectares of land is mainly wooded but some has been given over to a serious vegetable garden and orchard, chicken run and mobile home for family and friends. There used to be 'emplacements' for 35 such structures and water/electricity points still exist. The lake is teeming with carp and bream and gives guests the chance to paddle about a bit and to enjoy the small beach area.
Our opinion: This is a going concern located in a much sought-after region, which includes a fully-finished family home and two gites. No further work needed. However, for buyers keen on increasing the turnover there is enormous potential for development. The big barn offers scope for more accommodation and some sort of communal space: gym, meeting room, workshop. The fact that the estate was - in the past - used as a campsite makes one think that an upmarket glamping installation could be the way forward. A top-quality business in a great location: no hesitation.
Please contact us for further information and pictures. The property can be visited by appointment only.

Cathar Country
The département of the Aude, in the Languedoc, prides itself as being the home of the Cathar, a famed religious sect of the 12 and 13th century, who dared defy Rome with their brand of humble, scaled-down Christianity. They failed in the end, but their story of defiance, struggle and eventual extinction is etched into the landscape, villages and castles of the region.
Throughout the 12th century the Cathar faithful were slowly pushed out of the low-lying plains towards the hostile, mountainous uplands where they found refuge in fortified villages or in castles and keeps perched on the most inaccessible crags of the Corbières or the Pyrenean foothills. In the end the French State allied with Rome, sent Simon de Montfort to root out and kill the last 'heretics' in what was known as the 'Albigensian Crusade'.
In the western part of Languedoc the most notable feature is the Lac de St Ferréol, specially conceived by Riquet when building the Canal du Midi, and designed to supply water to the canal throughout the summer period. This it does by means of a mini-canal - 'le rigole' which carries water from the resevoir to the highest point of the canal on the watershed (between Atlantic and Mediterranean basins) near Avignonnet-Lauragais.
The Eastern part of the Aude département is wild and nearly uninhabited, a region of rough hills, maquis-clad outcrops and vines as far as the eye can see. This is the Corbières, renowned for its rough, strong red wines, olive groves and castles. The Corbières start just outside of Carcassonne where well-kept vineyards slowly give way to pine forest and more dramatic terrain.

Bismarck-Mandan Security patrols each location, checking locks several times in a 24 hour period, seven days a week along with our own staff surveying each location throughout the day.
Denny's Storage goes to great lengths to ensure your belongings are safe but a DiscLock strong pad-lock is a good investment. We recommend using a "disc" type lock. Disc locks are round and limit the use of a bolt cutter making it very difficult to remove a lock without a key. Denny's Storage Co. offers these types of locks at a reduced rate to tenants (just ask for more details!) or they can be purchased at most hardware stores.
What People Say...
I was moving to North Dakota and got into town late. I called ahead and Harvey was willing to meet me after hours so that I can unload my truck. I have to say that I will recomend Dennys Storage to anyone...Alan S

I find boerewors pleasant both hot and cold so I tend to cook more that I can eat at a sitting.
I was raised to believe that it could only be grilled or barbequed/braaied.
However baking/roasting in the oven is easier.
Could I suggest the following?
- Bread support.
Place enough slices of bread on a tray under the boerewors to make a bed for the Boerewors and then place the tray in the oven to cook. I cooked the boerewors in the oven at 180deg C until cooked turning halfway through. In more scientific terms, put in the oven at the beginning of "Neighbours", turn at the beginning of "Home and Away." and it will be ready to eat at the end of "Home and Away". Vary to your own tastes. I like my sausage a little dry. The bread sort of fries in the dripping from the sausage.
Eat with the relish or salad of your choice, I like a puttanesca variant.
- Polenta/Pap/Sadza
Using the standard yellow polenta, I have used freshly cooked polenta as a base to cook the boerewors. The polenta sort of roasts. The sausage stays moist and may not brown as easily. Again the polenta will absorb the dripping off of the sausage.
The bread will not receive the Heart Foundation seal of approval.

Title hopefuls South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka overcame stuttering starts to win their opening matches in cricket's under-19 World Cup on Monday.
Bangladesh, however, had no such worries as they cruised to an impressive 178-run victory over a hapless Bermuda.
The South Africans collapsed to 179-7 by the 35th over, chasing the West Indies' 222-8, before the eighth-wicket pair of Rilee Rossouw and Roy Adams put on a match-winning stand of 44.
Rossouw returned unbeaten on 58 while Adams made 26 not out after West Indian captain Shamarh Brooks had rocked the middle order with 4-39 in a group B match at the Kinrara Oval here.
The West Indian total revolved around half-centuries from opener Kieran Powell and Devon Thomas, who scored 53 apiece, and a brave 41 from Shacaya Thomas lower down the order.
The South Africans return on Tuesday to face India knowing another victory will almost certainly assure them a place in the quarter-finals with a game in hand against minnows Papua New Guinea.
Sri Lanka were aided in large part by an impressive all-round display by Sachith Pathirana to overcome spirited Nepal by 61 runs in a group C match in Penang.
Sri Lanka were reduced to 37-3 after electing to bat before captain Ashan Subasinghe led the recovery with a polished 46 and left-hander Pathirana chipped in with a 62 that included seven boundaries.
Thisara Perera clubbed 41 off 27 balls to set up a challenging total of 236-9 which Nepal found too much on a wearing wicket.
Nepal were dismissed for 175 in the penultimate over, their batsmen done in by the Sri Lankan spinners who shared seven wickets between them.
Left-arm spinner Pathirana finished with 3-31, off-spinner Umesh Karunarathna took 2-40 and another left-armer Navin Kavikara claimed 2-22.
New Zealand defeated Zimbabwe by 98 runs in a group A game in Johor after struggling early with the bat.
The Kiwis found themselves down to 39-3 before Corey Anderson rebuilt the innings with a superb 82. Greg Morgan was the next highest scorer with 27 in his team's total of 221-8.
Zimbabwe captain Prince Masvaure claimed 3-37 but he was overshadowed by Daniel Landman who took 2-41 and then played a lone hand of 51 in a poor reply of 123 all out.
New Zealand's opening bowler Tim Southee wrecked Zimbabwe with a brilliant 5-11.
Bangladesh piled up 260-8 after being sent in to bat and then shot out Bermuda for 82 in 26.1 overs at the Bayuemas Oval in the Malaysian capital.
Nasir Hossain was Bangladesh's batting star with 84 while wicket-keeper Ashiqul Islam hammered a run-a-ball 69 lower down the order.
Bangladesh captain Sohrawadi Shuvo destroyed Bermuda with three wickets for nine runs in seven overs off accurate left-arm spin bowling. Off-spinner Mahmudul Hasan claimed 3-12.
Bermuda skipper Rodney Trott top-scored for his side with 20 as nine batsmen failed to reach double figures in a one-sided match.

When you've ever been behind on a writing project then you already know that with the deadline looming, there is a large temptation to take shortcuts. Considered one of these, especially now with the Internet being is our coverage is, is a web based essay. You may be thinking that you just want to buy one and then simply have sufficient as your personal work. Everything from losing your particular Mark for that class to being expelled entirely. One thing else to consider whenever you're looking at on-line essay is that a number of the much less reputable outlets that you may buy from will take your cash and go away you with something that is unreadable and unintelligible.
In short, if you are in search of this to be a technique to reduce your research time, you may additionally need to suppose twice as the quality will be suspect. And even if you happen to do get the standard you'll more than likely be paying fairly a bit per page. I've seen cyberessays online essay, Cyber Essays is a totally free service that depends on college students to submit their very own papers in an effort to maintain this web site increasing, so please consider submitting your good papers to us as you take pleasure in this site. Of course, chances are you'll say that money is no object if it will get you out of doing the majority of the work for your term paper.
Nonetheless, think about the fact that though you'll be able to technically use a bot online essay as "inspiration" and could use the analysis in it as effectively, if you are professor or teacher asks you particular questions about your research strategies or about the information contained in your essay, you want to be able to answer them or Confirm spellings of different words as you write using a new edition dictionary. Remember, an online essay doesn't and can never change quality analysis and high quality writing written by you. By doing it yourself you not solely sidestep the hazards presented above, but you get the chance to be taught one thing new and that experience might be with you long after your education days are finished. But with Cyber Essays you don't have to spent your money into it. And you can edit with your quality analysis as well.

Heidegger's preference for poetry as the philosophical form par excellence is well known. For Heidegger, science, mathematics, and all other disciplines which attempt to circumscribe and dominate truth by means of the proposition must surely fail, for the Being of beings cannot be submitted to the intellect in this way (hence, the forgetting of being). Poetry, on the other hand, speaks and acts in such a way that being is presented ever anew, so it consequently becomes the locus of truth, or the process of revealing and concealing, aletheia.
Necessarily then, the pinnacle of the intellectual hubris of mankind, 20th century analytic philosophy and mathematics, since it is essentially a large-scale attempt to submit all of being to the language of the proposition, should be understood as a massive failure. The entire field of analytic philosophy is a sort of banging of one's head up against a wall, expecting that eventually one will be able to pass through. What Badiou points out, however, is that this is not at all what occurred.
Rather than viewing truth as judgment, or as a comment on the adequation of a proposition to the world, Badiou prefers to think of truth as what he calls, following Lacan, "a process in the real." This means that, no matter what historical situation one finds oneself in, a truth can be had. Truth is not a respecter of locations. For Heidegger, truths may only be located where propositions are absent, and it is not out of bounds to label this as a sort of totalization by restriction. The discoveries of 20th century mathematics cannot have, for Heidegger, produced any level of truth because they were directionally misappropriated from the beginning. Heidegger has determined this area a philosophical crime scene, and no one is allowed in but the forensic specialists, the phenomenologists.
Badiou's "process in the real", however, gives us a chance to find a truth in any given situation, should we at least look hard enough. In early 20th century mathematics and the advent of set theory, Badiou finds exactly such a truth in Godel's Incompleteness theorem (as well as other instances, but we'll focus just the second Incompleteness theorem for now). For Godel, it is impossible to show from within a mathematical theory that it is itself consistent and non-contradictory, thus any grand theory will be in the end incomplete, non-total. Badiou uses this event to postulate a level of mathematical untotalizability, something first presented the very same mathematicians who advanced the fact there could not be conceived a set of all sets, i.e. a totalization, in the wake of Godel. In this sense, the realm of mathematical set theory, that which has forced being into the cage of the proposition for so long, underwent a truth procedure. This would have been impossible for Heidegger, but for Badiou, there is always "a real" in every situation, and therefore always the potential for a truth.
What I like most about this construal of ontology is that it opens up many more possiblities, a wealth of new sites for philosophy. Badiou often makes the point that his "mathematics as ontology" maxim is meant to point out that ontology is not about describing or revealing the fundamental nature of being, but about the relations amongst elements. Science preforms the former, while philosophy's job is to analyze the relations of the elements of particular situations, something that is inherently possible in any situation. There's a level of equality of situations that is conspicuously lacking in the hubris of much post-Kantian philosophy. There is no fruit to be found in a battle amongst the academic elite as there is always a space of compossibility between actors in this play.


text: Mariah Carey is a believer in love. Underneath the low cut shirts, thigh high skirts, and six-inch heels is a woman just as confused about relationships as the rest of us; at least her music would have you believe it. Although some fans may not be able to let go of her curly haired Vision of Love days, that image is long gone. This time around on her new release E=MC2 (Island/Def Jam) things are a bit different than her previous come-back album The Emancipation of Mimi. E=MC2 is a little bit sexier and more polished for the Hip-Pop lover in you and packaged especially for the radio. Championed by the coy yet in control single Touch My Body. While lyrics upon closer dissection are admittedly a little spacey, the crossover appeal is undeniably strong.A virtual tripod of Hip-Hop/R&B, pop, and even reggae, this album is worth its weight in funky little relationship tracks about lust, make-ups, break-ups, and physical attraction. Though one note at times, the notes are entertaining ones. The introduction track Migrate featuring T-Pain continues his plugging of Patron Tequila (which at this point hes hopefully getting free bottles for upon every mention) while Mariah matches his vocals with a low key bravado, bragging on migrating to the club amidst various haters and admirers. The only real surprise of the album is the pairing of Carey and Damian Marley for Cruise Control meant to be a double entendre of equal parts pop and reggae. Carey even tries her hand at patois. Gutsy? Yes. But in the realm of the songs upbeat make-up, its not as bad as you think.The Bryan-Michael Cox produced I Stay in Love tells of the average break-up to make-up joint. (Dying inside cause I cant stand it/ Make up break up cant take the madness). Mix Coxs now signature piano structure with Careys knack for expressing dedication to love (even when it doesnt conquer all), and youve got a recipe for a pretty good love song.After a while the beats start to sound the same, but manage to sound interesting. The Jermaine Dupri produced Thanks 4 Nothin isnt as angry or rigid as the title suggests, but the resentment in the lyrics add what the background guitars take away. The ever personal Side Effects featuring Young Jeezy is clearly a not so secret story of Careys previous marriage to Tommy Mottola, with a mention of violent times, which we hope are not autobiographical.Above all else Mariah Carey is a star. She has had a public breakdown and will forever be vilified for Glitter. Despite her setbacks, shes still the top selling female artist of all time, and may surpass The Beatles for number one hits. Success like that doesnt come from having a pretty face. She can sing, and more than proved this for the first ten years of her career. After proving that she can be emancipated, E=MC2 is not a match point of each hit from her previous album, nor should it be. E=MC2 is young, poppy, and less than age appropriate for a woman of 37, but its also cute, fun, and somewhat personal. In this day in music, thats more than enough criteria for a star of her caliber.

The recently released 2014 Infiniti Q50 comes with some very high-tech systems that aid the driver in maintaining safety while driving. One might even say that it is an evolutionary (not revolutionary as these concepts have existed for a while) step closer towards "self-driving vehicles" (save the Google Car). By using multiple analog sensors., interlinking various vehicle systems, performing complex computations in fractions of a second, and controlling the main driving systems, the computers on the Q50 are able to produce the best recourse in order to avoid an accident, which is always better than protection in an accident, which is also important.
The manuals are rather complicated and disjointed, therefore I have tried to simplify and organize the information as best I can. If I have made some errors in my understanding I welcome clarification on any topic.
Let's examine the systems that Infiniti (& Nissan) have had standard on most vehicles until today:
|Standard Safety Features
- Seat Belts - DOT compliant 3-point seat belts with locking both Emergency Locking Retractors (ELR) and Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR). ELR locks the seat-belt when retracted with sudden force e.g if you jerk forward suddenly.. ALR locks the seat-belt when fully extended and ratchets it back in a locked state , for example when attaching a car seat. The system also has an operation monitor (belted vs. unbelted) monitor and occupant & weight classification sensors for the front passenger seat to control the air bag operation. With no passenger or under 40lb passenger and the front passenger airbag will not go off.
- Seat Belt Pre-Tensioners - A system that under certain types of crashes, rapidly locks the seat belt via a pyrotechnic or explosive device similar to an airbag explosion. This happens much quicker than an ELR system. This safety system also uses a load limiter to release the tension of the seat belt so that it reduces the force of the seatbelt against the chest.
- Front, Side and Curtain Air Bags - Located in steering wheel, above glove box for passenger, in the sides of both the front seats, along the roof line above the windows for the front and rear passengers. These inflate in a fraction of a second via explosive devices to avoid contact of the persons head and body with vehicle parts. Amount of airbags inflation is dependent and relative to the force of the impact.
- Anti-Lock Brake System - ABS uses sensors in wheels (when traveling over 3mph) to ensure that a wheel does not lock under hard braking or slippery conditions. It pulsates the brakes, faster than a human foot can, to avoid locking wheels and avoiding the vehicle from sliding.
- Vehicle Dynamic Control - VDC uses sensors to monitor driver input of steering and power compared to vehicle motion. It controls the brake pressure and cuts engine power output to avoid sliding and spinning of the vehicle. The VDC can be manually turn off by a button in the cockpit if wheel spin is needed to get the vehicle unstuck from mud or ice by spinning the wheels.
- Brake Force Distribution - When braking in a corner, this system redistributes the brake force independently to each of the four wheels based on the tightness of the turn and the load on each wheel to ensure even braking force is applied and vehicle does not lose traction.
- Hill Start Assist - This system automatically applied the brakes when the vehicle is stopped on hill to avoid rolling backwards for the time it takes the driver to lift off the brake pedal and apply force on the accelerator pedal. The system only works for 2 seconds.
On All Wheel Drive (AWD) models, the Infiniti ATESSA E-TS AWD system automatically moves power from the rear wheels to the front wheels in 1/10th of a second to avoid loss of traction in the rear. It monitors the sensors (ABS, VSC, etc) 10 times every second. This system normally operates at 98% rear, 2% front drive power and can go up to 50% front and 50% rear in a 1/10th of a second. In "Snow Mode" all the systems (VDC, ABC, AWD) are on "higher alert" for more aggressive correction. Additionally, the accelerator and brake pedal inputs are softened in SNOW mode such that the applying the same amount of force to those pedals results in less engine power and braking force respectively to avoid loss of traction and control in ice and snow conditions.
Hybrid Models feature the Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) system. The VSP system uses a speaker mounted in the front grill to simulate the humming sound of a engine (not an exhaust sound), when the hybrid Q50 is fully driven by the Hybrid Battery system and the engine is not running, but the vehicle is accelerating (or decelerating) between 0 and 19mph. This system audibly alerts pedestrians to the presence of a vehicle. Likewise, a reverse beeping sound is produced when backing up the Q50. The VSP can be turned off by a button in the cockpit next to the VDC off button ( Yet to find it?). Here is a video of the backup beep and VSP as the Q50 was on 100% electric power (turn the volume up).
By Adding the Deluxe Technology Package ($5000 MSRP) the vehicle gains some "higher brain functions" and introduces some warning and intervention systems to prevent accidents. While this package adds a few luxury features as well. We will focus on the following:
- Front-seat Pre-Crash Seat Belts
- Backup Collision Intervention (BCI)
- Blind Spot Warning (BSW) and Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) System
- Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PSFW)
- Forward Emergency Braking (FEB)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) System with Active Lane Control
The working of all these system together is generally called the Automatic Driver Assistance System - ADAS (also known as the DAS) and is activated by the button on the right on the steering wheel which is called the Dynamic Driver Assistance Switch also known as the Integral Switch or the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) Switch located on the steering wheel on the right side.
This button activates the entire system and individual systems can be turned on and off for a specific User Profile from the InTouch "Driver Assistance" Setting Menu. The display icon in the driver information panel between the gauges changes from grey to green to designate the ADAS is on and also indicates which systems are active. Likewise the Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) is turned on by the same button.
Very basically the Q50 has 2 types of systems function:
- Warning Systems - These warn the driver of imminent danger but do not take any corrective action. These are all ON by default and can be individually turned off from the InTouch Settings Menu
|All Warning Systems Active - Grey
- Intervention (or Aid) Systems - These perform a corrective action such as reducing acceleration, applying braking or changing steering angle to avoid the accident. Intervention systems need to be turned ON by pressing the Integral Switch on the steering wheel. Again by default all Intervention systems are enabled in the Infiniti InTouch, but are not ACTIVE. and each individual system cane be disabled through the InTouch menu.
If there is a problem with the system, then the icons change to a Yellow or Red to designate an issue with a specific system, as well as a specific cluster gauge light is activated.
Since the Q50 supports Driver/User Profile Login, these systems can be customized for each driver.
|Infiniti InTouch Driver Assistance Systems
Before we explore the systems, lets make a note of all the sensor inputs and outputs that the Q50's ADAS has to its disposal to gather data and make the decisions and finally is able to perform some corrective actions. These are the eyes and ears of the system.
- Front Mounted ICC Sensor - Behind the front bumper is located a Millimeter Wave (same as the TSA uses) and Radar detector. The function of this unit is to detect a vehicle in front of the Q50. It uses the radar to detect the relative speed and distance of the vehicle in front.
- Lane Camera Unit - This is mounted above the rear view mirror. The function of this camera is to detect lane markers.
- Side Radar - Installed in the rear bumper on either side, this unit detects other vehicles besides the Q50 in the adjustment lane or when backing up. The radar detects vehicles up to ~50ft away.
- Front & Rear Sonar - The front and rear bumper are mounted with 4 sonar detectors each, these detect obstacles up to ~5ft away.
- Blind Spot Warning Lights - lights located on the inside of each side view mirror that lights up orange.
- Buzzer - Behind the dashboard that beeps to warn the driver
- Output on Screens - Various lights on the instrument panel, icons, messages, and sounds.
These systems feed in and out information to the ADAS unit, which is located in the trunk. Combined with the inputs from the BCM, ABS, and TCM, the ADAS can control the brake system, accelerator system, steering, warnings, displays. and buzzers. These are the basis of all the control systems in the Q50.
Everything else is very smart programming logic written in microcode to perform actions. One universal commonality across all systems is that if a sensor cannot perform an accurate measurement or is obstructed the system is simply disabled as a caution the driver is warned. Likewise under extreme conditions where the driver is purposely performing input, such as high speed cornering or acceleration. sudden movements of the steering wheel or TCS/ABS warning or SNOW mode, most of these systems simply back off as they expect the driver to be "smarter" about the conditions.
Let's explore the individual systems as listed in order on the window sticker:
1. Pre-Crash Seat Belt System
This system replaces the standard Seatbelt Pre-Tensioners mentioned above. This system integrates a control unit and motor in both the drivers and passengers seat belt retractors. The systems senses the force of braking, any emergency braking when moving over 9 mph, ABS operation for more than 2 sec, emergency steering turning (90 degrees or more over 36mph) and lateral slipping while turning (more than 19mph). The motor in the seatbelt tightens the seat belts and prevents the occupant from moving around in the seats. If the airbag is deployed, then the pre-crash seat belt system reduces the impact. The caution is that continuous and repeated operation in a short period may overheat the system and cause it to malfunction.

The caution is that continuous and repeated operation in a short period may overheat the system and cause it to malfunction.
When the seat belt is unfastened, the motor also retracts the seatbelt to provide ease and comfort to getting out of the Q50.
2. Backup Collision Intervention (BCI) System
The backup collision Intervention system helps the driver when other vehicles approach the rear of the Q50 during backing out of a parking spot. This system uses the 4 sonar detectors mounted on the rear bumper in addition to the left and right rear side radar systems. The BCI operates when the Q50 is below 5mph and in reverse.
The backup collision Intervention system helps the driver when other vehicles approach the rear of the Q50 during backing out of a parking spot. This system uses the 4 sonar detectors mounted on the rear bumper in addition to the left and right rear side radar systems. The BCI operates when the Q50 is below 5mph and in reverse.
The sonar detects obstacles that are up to 5 ft away from the car. The sonar detection results in a beeping sound that is heard from the appropriate speaker (left, right, front or rear). The beeping sound gets louder as the object is closer and turns to a solid beep when the object is less than 1 ft away. The sonar also works when pulling forward into a parking spot, as there are detectors on the front bumper.
The radar system on the other hand detects vehicles that the driver may not see coming down the parking lot isle on either side of the Q50's blind spots. The radar can detect vehicles up to 50 ft away and perpendicular to the Q50.
When the radar detects a vehicle approaching, the BCI system first gives a warning by
- making a single beep sound
- illuminating the blind spot warning light on the side from which the vehicle is approaching
- flashing the frame around the rear view monitor with yellow color
If the vehicle approaches closer, and the driver in the Q50 does not stop backing up then the BCI system:
- makes 3 beeping sounds
- continues to illuminate the blind spot warning light
- the frame around the rear view monitor flashes with a red color
- pushes the accelerator pedal up and depressed the brakes to stop the Q50.
The BCI system is always ON when the Q50 is turned on. It can be turned off two actions:B. Permanently - Using the InTouch Setting Menu, Under the Camera/Sonar Settings.
A. Temporarily - By pressing on the Icon in the upper display that is showing the picture of the backup and 360 degree camera. Putting the Q50 in reverse again will reactive the BCI system
A. Temporarily - By pressing on the Icon in the upper display that is showing the picture of the backup and 360 degree camera. Putting the Q50 in reverse again will reactive the BCI system
The BCI operation setting can be tied to a specific Driver Profile and in the theme of warning & Intervention - the warning are the various beeps and lights, the intervention is the stopping of the entire vehicle.
The BCI may not work when the car coming down the isle is too fast (>15mph), small ojects such as people, bikes, etc, when the car is parked at an angle that the radar cannot "see" down the isles. Parked next to bigger vehicles that bock the radar.
3. Blind Spot Warning (BSW) System
The BSW system helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adjacent lanes. The BSW system uses the side radar installed in the rear bumper. The radar can detect vehicles up to 10ft away and operates above when the Q50 is moving at 20mph or above. When the BSW system detects a vehicle in the zone, BSW system illuminates the Blind Spot Warning light located on each side view mirror.
No sound is produced, but is the driver activates the turn signal, then a buzzer sounds twice and the BSW indicator light flashes to warn the driver that a vehicle is in the blind spot area.
If another vehicles comes into the blind spot after the Q50 driver has already turned on the turn signal, then only the BSW light is illuminated and no sound is produced.
4. Blind Spot Intervention (BSI) System
The BSI system not only alerts the Q50 driver via the BSW system above, but performs corrective action to avoid an accident that could be potentially caused with a vehicle in the blind spot. The main difference being Intervention vs. Warning. The BSI works when the Q50 is above 37mph.
When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, and the BSW light is illuminated on the side view mirror if the Q50 begins to move into the lane of the other vehicle, then the BSI system activates the buzzer 3 times and flashes the BSW blinker, finally BSI applies corrective steering wheel action to keep the Q50 in its lane.
The BSI system only works when the the Dynamic Driver Assistance Switch is activated (green) and the BSI is turned ON through the InTouch System.
The BSI system will not work when brake pedal is being depressed, during acceleration, quick steering movements, hazard flashers are operating, driving on a high speed curve, VDC or ABS are active and in SNOW mode. If any jams or obstructions are present on the radar or camera are present.
Before I explore the the next couple of systems, we need to understand one system which is not listed on the window sticker, but is integral to the working of the next 2 systems. This is called the the Distance Control Assist or DCA.
Distance Control Assist (DCA) System
The DCA system uses the ICC's millimeter wave and radar emitters & detectors mounted in the front bumper to measure the speed and distance of the vehicle in front of the Q50 (this is important to note). It communicates with the central ADAS system and in conjunction with the various other systems (such as braking & acceleration feedback) it controls the distance of the Q50 from the vehicle in front.
The DCA system uses the ICC's millimeter wave and radar emitters & detectors mounted in the front bumper to measure the speed and distance of the vehicle in front of the Q50 (this is important to note). It communicates with the central ADAS system and in conjunction with the various other systems (such as braking & acceleration feedback) it controls the distance of the Q50 from the vehicle in front.
It is Active and turned ON, when:
1. the DCA system is ON in the In Touch Driver Assist Settings menu, and
2. the Dynamic Driver Assistance Switch on the steering wheel is ACTIVE (green), and
3. the Q50 is moving above 3mph, and
4. a vehicle ahead is detected, and
5. ICC is NOT turned ON or being used, and
6. the brake pedal is not being depressed.
When a vehicle is detected in front, a small vehicle indicator appears in the Driver information display between the gauge cluster. If the Q50 approaches the vehicle ahead, the DCA system applies the brakes for a smooth deceleration (up to 40% of full braking force) and can bring the Q50 to a completely stop. If the driver is pressing the accelerator, the DCA pushes up the accelerator to assist the driver. When a standstill is reached, the system will chime for the driver to take over brake control. The DCA resumes operations after the vehicle reaches back to 3mph.
When driver braking is required, the DCA system alerts the driver via a chime and blinking the indicator light. If the driver continues to press the accelerator pedal further and ignores the DCA warning, the system will cancel its operations and not control the acceleration and braking.
The DCA does not work when the brakes are applied, ICC is set ON, when VDC or ABS are activated, VDC is manually OFF, car is put into SNOW mode, of the sensors in the front grill become dirty or blocked.
The DCA system can be turned OFF via the Driver Assist Settings Menu in the InTouch system. This disables the Intervention of lowing down Q50, but will not turn off the warning.
5. Predictive Forward Collision Warning (PFCW)
The PFCW uses the same systems as DCA to warn the driver that a 2nd vehicle in front of the Q50 maybe emergency braking. This means that the vehicle in front of the vehicle in front of the Q50 is monitored for emergency braking.
The PFCW uses the same systems as DCA to warn the driver that a 2nd vehicle in front of the Q50 maybe emergency braking. This means that the vehicle in front of the vehicle in front of the Q50 is monitored for emergency braking.
The system operates when the Q50 is moving above 3mph.
The PFCW cannot be individually turned OFF. Even in the above diagram with DCA turned OFF, the PFCW is still ON as long as the Forward area of the graphic is "white" and a "speaker" is displayed for the Forward Warning (as in the picture above)
Turning off Forward Emergency Braking through the InTouch Driver Assist Setting menu Turns off both PFCW and FEB (below).
6. Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) System
The FEB system uses ICC to get its information, just like DCA and PFCW. When the distance between the Q50 and the vehicle in front get very small the PFCW operates. If the FEB system determines that a collision is imminent, then a high pitch warning emanates from the buzzer, the accelerator pedal is moved upward and the brake is applied, the brake pressure becomes progressively harder to avoid a collision. The FEB warning light illuminates in the gauge cluster (A Warning triangle) as harder braking is applied. The FEB also flashes the 2 icons shown (Q50 and front car).
The FEB can bring the Q50 to a complete stop. It will hold the brakes for 2 seconds after which the driver needs to apply the brakes. The system will beep to alert the driver.
When a completely stopped vehicle is encountered by the FEB only works at Q50 speeds up to 45mph. Any faster and the FEB may not be able to perform a complete stop.
The FEB is turn on or off through the Driver Assist in the InTouch Menu. To be active the FEB must be enabled in the InTouch Menu, the Q50 is moving at least 3mph and moving 3mph faster than the vehicle in front. The FEB system does not have to be turned on by using the Integral/ICC button.
The FEB & PFCW are both turned on and off by the same function. When OFF this is displayed.
Infiniti must believe that the PFCW and FEB are critical enough to not have to be manually activated, as deactivating them results in the displaying of a unique cluster warning lamp.
The PFCW and FEB are active even when the Driver Assistance if OFF (grey not green)
The FEB system does not get enabled if the sensors are unable to detect a vehicle properly, for non-vehicles such as animals, motorcycles, obstacles and pedestrians. If the sensors is dirty with snow, ice or dirt, when the accelerator pedal is depressed, or sharp steering input is provided or driving on steep hills of sharp curves.
7. Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System
The LDW system provides a warning when the Q50 is moving over 45mph and starts to leave the current lane without use of turn signal. So start using your turn signals, people! When the Q50 approaches either side of the lane marker, the warning be be sounded and LDW system will display on the combination meter display.
|LDW & LDP, & Active Lane Control System Control
The lane camera monitors the lane markers and inform the ADAS which produces the warnings. The system works as long it is enabled in the InTouch Settings menu and the Q50 is traveling over 45mph and the turn signal has not been operated for more than 2 seconds.
The LDW ignores the side of the car that the turn signal is active for.
The LDW can be Set to be ON or OFF in the InTouch setting and can be tied to a specific driver profile. The LDW on is denoted by a Grey Lines around the Q50 icon in the cluster display.
8. Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) System
The LDP system provides intervention by performing corrective action to keep the Q50 in the proper lane. The LDP system is turned on via the Integral Switch on the steering wheel. Once the LDW has performed a warning, the LDP system calculates the steering angle necessary to perform the corrective action and the sends the information to the direct adaptive steering system (drive by wire system) which performs the corrective action. The Q50 must be moving at least 45mph and the turn signal needs to have been off for more than 3 seconds before the LDP can perform any operations.
If the Lane Camera temperature is too high due to the Q50 being parked in the sun or the windshield is dirty, the LDW & LDP system will not work and warn the user of the system being off.
LDW/LDP many not work on road with faded or multiple lane markers, temporary or construction lane markers, lane covered with water, dirty of snow, sharp curves, sharp contrasting and shiny surfaces. If the headlights are not bright enough due to being dirty, sudden change in brightness, in tunnels and under bridges.
9. Active Lane Control (ALC) System
ALC system improves the straight line travel of the Q50 so that the driver is able to keep the car straight with fewer steering wheel corrections. ALC measure the front tire angles, the steering wheel torque to reduce the Q50's drift in a lane. This drift maybe caused by a strong side wind or sloping of the lane away from a center.
The ALC is controlled by the chassis control module. The lane camera unit monitors the lane markers and sends the signal to the chassis control unit, the chassis control unit measure the difference between the expected vehicle movement travel and actual travel, the information is sent to the the direct adaptive steering wheel system and it performs the corrective action. When the ALC is performing corrective action the the icon on the driver display between the gages is illuminated.
The ALC system only operates when the LDP system is also set to ON. The ALC system can be set ON/OFF in the InTouch system. Using the Integral switch the ALC can be set to a low or high setting for ALC sensitivity. The Q50 must be moving at least 45mph and the turn signal must be have been off for more than 3 seconds. ALC does not operate when LDP is off, speed is less than 45mph, side markers are lost on a curving road, sudden steering input, when ABS, TCS and VDC are activated. If the camera is obstructed or the Q50's interior temperature is very high the ALC system will not operate. Also if the lane condition are not ideal, i.e. faded lane markers, temporary lane markers, snow, ice, sudden brightness changes, etc.
Additionally, key related system worth mentioning:
10. Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) System
The ICC system automatically maintains a selected distance from the vehicle ahead and automatically slows down or speed up the Q50 up to the pre-set cruise speed without driver input to the accelerator or brakes. The ICC system operates between 20-90 MPH and allows the user to select both the cruising speed and the distance (short, medium and long) between the vehicles. The system can also bring the Q50 to a complete stop, but requires the driver to step on the brakes after that. If the vehicle ahead comes to a rapid stop, the system will chime and a warning will flash in the Driver Information Display as that activates the Forward Emergency Braking.

If the vehicle ahead comes to a rapid stop, the system will chime and a warning will flash in the Driver Information Display as that activates the Forward Emergency Braking.
Regular Cruise Control can be invoked by depressing and holding the ICC button for 1.5 seconds.
The system is cancelled when: Cancel switch is hit, Brake Pedal is depressed, vehicle ahead is not detected below 15mph, Shift Level is not in "D" or Manual positions, Parking Brake is applied, System determines vehicle is at a standstill, SNOW mode is selected, ABS or VDC Activate, Wheel Slips, VDC is turned OFF, Main Switch is OFF, System detects a malfunction.
ICC is intended for straight, open and dry roads with light traffic. It will be inaccurate in heavy city traffic, sharp curves, snow and icy conditions, heavy rain or fog, when pedestrians and large stationary objects are present on narrow roads, steep uphill and downhill roads. If a vehicle sudden pulls into the detection zone it may not be detected until it completely moves in front, likewise motorcycles may nat not be detected if they are riding off center, a chime and visual blinking system indicator will indicate such an event. Going on a curvy road may be inaccurate as oncoming traffic maybe wrongfully detected
I do not intend on testing the PFCW and FEB systems as that could be a costly test. As I have more and better pictures available, I will update this post.
The net of it is that the systems in the Q50 perform excellent warnings and interventions (if selected) so that they can prevent the driver of the Q50 from causing an accident due to a lapse in judgement, or a quick distraction. I do not believe that these systems are a replacement for good driving, if anything the buzzing and beeping should train the Q50 driver to avoid these from ever happening. I like the conservative approach that Infiniti took in making these systems non-intrusive and that the user has to click a button to ask the system to intervene. Any malfunction or blockage of a sensors, basically disables the system, which means it is only allowed to make good decision and not "maybe" decisions. The Q50 is indeed a huge evolutionary step forward and hopefully what the majority of the automative industry will start adopting. I know that other manufacturers have similar systems, but I especially like the complete packaging that the Q50 has done and the greater possibilities available because of the drive-by-wire system.
The Q50 still does not have turbo boost to go over road blocks, cannot scan for human vitals, and definitely cannot scan though buildings for armed bad guys. Perhaps the "Deluxe Crime Stopper Package" in the future will add those features.

You can make the world better through the power of one
We can make the world better through the power of one -- the power of you.
I recently lost a good friend who died in a tragic car accident. She was a dedicated mother and broadcast journalist who worked tirelessly to make a difference in the world. She sought to do her best to improve humanity.
So, I celebrate her life.
Sheila Stewart was a woman of faith who boldly and courageously expressed her trust in God. She served as the News and Community Affairs director for Radio One in Washington, D.C.
She sought to use her position as a platform for not only promoting her employer but providing hope and inspiration to everyone she encountered.
I am eternally grateful to her for introducing me to some extraordinary people who became wonderful stories for my series, "Beyond The Dream."
Even when life got tough, Sheila still operated with a sense that God would always make the crooked ways straight.
As I reflect on her life, I am encouraged by her desire to help people become better.
She is an example of how we can change the world through the power of one. Making the world better begins with the power of one -- the power of you.
Every day we face challenges that can hurt us, steal our dream, or even blind us to the blessings that we already have. But like my friend Sheila, I hope we can become more focused on living according to God's purpose.
I hope we can practice random acts of kindness to complete strangers as if we were entertaining angels.
I hope we can enjoy giving people magnificent encouragement rather than malignant criticism.
Let's face it -- everyone gets hurt, we all have pain. We live in very uncertain times.
Personally, I have been homeless, unemployed, and flat broke, robbed at gunpoint, fired, laughed at, and talked about badly. And by the way, there have been plenty of times that I have been downright wrong, making some pretty stupid decisions, poor choices that set me up for failure instead of success.
There's no doubt about it, the people of the world are groaning beneath some weighty circumstances. Whether it's the loss of a friend or loved one, the devastating effects of losing your job, not having health insurance, or just trying to survive, there is a need for healing of the mind, body and soul.
I remember fondly how Sheila inspired me with her belief that God can make a way where there seems to be no way. Therefore, be encouraged no matter what's going on, God will make it alright.
Lately, living in America has become like living on the edge. It's like a jungle. There are no more rules of civility -- we're just living on survival mode.
Life can be challenging and confusing. Sometimes we don't know what to do.
God says in Hosea 4:6: "My people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge."
So here's some knowledge that's good for the soul: "Let your gentleness be evident to all…Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things."
Never underestimate the power of one. We can make a difference through the power of one: the power of you.

Dear You,
It's a cozy Sunday morning and you just woke up from a deep refreshing sleep. Sunday is your day to organize your house, your priorities, but most of all your closet!!! Yes, you know what I am talking about!!! That 'monster' who lives inside your wardrobe Narnia, and makes your work days so difficult when you are trying to get ready and... 'Where is that top!!!!!'.
Well, we all have been there, looking for the top that suits with our pants, but for some mysterious reason can't find and drives us crazy. So, you have decided that you won't allow Narnia to take your control of your closet and you start to organize your clothes.
Tops, here, pants there, skirts over here...wait what's that?? You still have some clothes you don't wear and you actually you don't even like! What are they doing there?? Oh! It's time to get rid for all your clothes that you don't wear and that take an extra room in your wardrobe.
You start to separate clothes that you want, from clothes that you don't wear anymore. It takes you so much time to do this and makes your man looking at you with surprise and wondering why are you spending you Sunday on separating a bunch of old clothes. Once you are done and you are indeed exhausted, you realize that the clothes that you wear are only the 1/4 contrasted to the clothes that you don't wear and you decided to give away. You just found out that is not the 'monster' that hides your clothes, but you don't have any clothes to wear that you like.
It's already 1 pm, your closet looks extremely poor and you need a cocktail after this to calm you down.
Ask and you will receive they say...
Relax and come to Rumour in Zurich on Sunday, May 21st from 1 pm to 5 pm. There you'll find collections from talented designers that will inspire and motivate you to create a new style and fill your closet with clothes that you will love and pieces hard to find.
Sundays are for relaxing, so why to spend it on organizing thing you don't even want?
Enjoy yourself, take a break and come to have fun while you are upgrading your style.
Oh, and there's cocktail too, so take your husband, friend, boyfriend, girlfriend and explore the new age of shopping, meeting with famous bloggers and find your style identity.
P.S.: If you don't live in Zurich we will regret not to see you at the event, but you can always relax on your comfortable couch and enjoy your weekend looking the clothes collection on our website.

Here are some photos of my new expedition bike frame. It was built over in Norwich, UK by Tom Donhou of Donhou Bicycles. It's a steel TIG welded frame which has been built with big tours in mind, so it's ready for some front and rear panniers to be attached. There are also mounts for three bottle cages. What can I say? I sweat a lot. Plus I can store fuel bottles for cooking.
It has a large chain stay plate to mount this Pletscher twin kick stand. It's a complete nightmare standing up a fully loaded touring bike, they're always tipping over, so my friend Harry (bicycle nerd extraordinaire) recommended this twin kick stand.
I can't thank Tom enough, he's done a fantastic job. Now I need to get this beauty shipped over to Korea ASAP and start thinking about what parts I want to purchase to complete this set up. Project ON! Any suggestions would be welcome.
I can't wait to razz around the countryside on this.

Architects increasingly migratory behaviour has been the centre of much discussion over the last few decades, creating controversy over whether outsider architects, or 'seagulls', are capable of understanding the architectural needs of a destination. One such debate took part in Bath this week with a two to one result in the 'seagulls'' favour.
Eric Parry and Sir Richard MacCormac, two of the UK's most respected architects, were the ultimate winners of the debate when a show of hands revealed two thirds of the audience backed their position of an outward-looking approach to Bath's architectural heritage.
In the debate, sponsored by The Holburne Museum, local architects argued that the World Heritage City's future development should be left to local talent, saying that Bath needed: 'time, understanding and humility', as opposed to using outside 'seagull architects' who could fly in leaving behind a messy architectural trail.
Aaron Evans, a local architect, used the example of Thermae Bath Spa where Grimshaw was commissioned for the project, but it worked because of the involvement of local conservation architect Peter Carey (Donald Insall Associates).
However, Parry, who was architect for projects such as the restoration of St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London and is responsible for the Holburne Museum extension, argued that architects from abroad or from outside the locality could offer a new perspective and deliver what it might be difficult for an insider to achieve. He reminded the audience that historically Bath's most successful architects had received their training and inspiration from outside the city and summed up by saying, 'You wouldn't want to restrict your local theatre to local actors, why would you do this for architecture? You want to get the best for Bath.'
Alexander Sturgis, Director of the Holburne Museum observed: "What has been made clear by this fascinating debate is that good architecture and sensitivity to place are of paramount importance. What is fantastic for the Holburne Museum is that Eric Parry's modern extension is wonderful because it is entirely of its place."

The band's stated goal, starting out: fuse the Monkees' musical sense with Patti Smith's lyrical sense. Pretty funny idea. Pretty great idea. Pretty successful, in that they sort of did it but ended up well beyond either one in the end.
I think I'll go order those last three records right now.
I only have Tallulah and 16 Lovers Lane, which are great.
But this Monkees reference didn't make sense. For the first time, and thanks to this thread, I saw some of their videos on Youtube yesterday including Right Here. It makes perfect sense now.
"Lee Remick" and the early singles sounds exactly like the stated goal.. but things change from album to album away from that, slowly but surely.

Bonded Labor: Tackling the System of Slavery in South Asia
Columbia University Press, 06.05.2014 - 336 Seiten
Siddharth Karašs Sex Trafficking has become a critical resource for its revelations into an unconscionable business, and its detailed analysis of the tradešs immense economic benefits and human cost. This volume is Karašs second, explosive study of slavery, this time focusing on the deeply entrenched and wholly unjust system of bonded labor. Drawing on eleven years of research in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, Kara delves into an ancient and ever-evolving mode of slavery that ensnares roughly six out of every ten slaves in the world and generates profits that exceeded $17.6 billion in 2011. In addition to providing a thorough economic, historical, and legal overview of bonded labor, Kara travels to the far reaches of South Asia, from cyclone-wracked southwestern Bangladesh to the Thar desert on the India-Pakistan border, to uncover the brutish realities of such industries as hand-woven-carpet making, tea and rice farming, construction, brick manufacture, and frozen-shrimp production. He describes the violent enslavement of millions of impoverished men, women, and children who toil in the production of numerous products at minimal cost to the global market. He also follows supply chains directly to Western consumers, vividly connecting regional bonded labor practices to the appetites of the world. Karašs pioneering analysis encompasses human trafficking, child labor, and global security, and he concludes with specific initiatives to eliminate the system of bonded labor from South Asia once and for all.
