Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.
Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.
Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.
I also saw and really liked Michael Clayton. But I have a question...
Spoiler warning:
What did you think about Marty, the head of the law firm? Do you think he was a bad guy - maybe wanted Clayton and Arthur dead? There's no real indication that he is bad. In fact, there's more examples of him liking Clayton, saying how important he is to the firm, loaning him money. But something was said in that final conversation between Clayton and Karen, in which she brought up Marty, and Clayton said something like "Good, I hope you do tell Marty." And you know he was panicked when he discovered Arthur's plans, and couldn't take being sued by U-North. It just makes me wonder. I could be totally wrong, and it doesn't seem to matter to the plot really anyway.
End of spoiler.
Very solid acting, fine cinematography and very intelligent script.
I saw We Own The Night. It was slightly disappointing, but I enjoyed it. Robert Duvall is great.
Next I want to see Eastern Promises. There isn't anything else good out there right. Elizabeth looked good, but the reviews killed it.
I finally saw Superbad, and it was.
And I just caught Into the Wild.
Man, what a powerful movie. Should be the movie, so far, to beat for Best Picture. And Emile should be nominated for Best Actor. Hell of a performance.
I dedicated a thread to it last weekend, but again, as a public service, let me advise anybody that missed it that The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Bob Ford is GOD fuckING AWFUL.
Just saw two more rentals:
25th Hour - I loved it. Perhaps the movie with the most real characters I've seen.
The Number 23 - Horrible. As I knew. OMG, 5-2 in "25th Hour" is 3. AHHHHH!
Hopefully, I'll report on American Gangster tomorrow.
If you like humor-horror, check out "Black Sheep" :)
That's awesome. LMAO
Eastern Promises
was super! Rent it soon.

Denmark fan sends reindeer meat
Move over Joyce's Coconut Macaroons, the Singletons have received a new contender for the most unique item included in Ken's fan mail — three cans of reindeer and elk meat from Horsholm, Denmark.
Former New Yorker Larry Landman included a neatly-typed letter pointing out that during the playoffs last season, Ken had thanked fans on the East Coast for staying up late to watch the Yanks play on the West Coast, but had inadvertently omitted the fans outside of Copenhagen who were watching the next day via the Internet.
"We did not stay up late, that's true," wrote Larry, "but we were rooting for the Yankees as strongly as anyone. We thank you and your fellow broadcasters on TV and radio for giving us a little taste of home while we live abroad. Given the beauty — the absolute beauty — of condensed [Internet] games, we have seen more Yankees games the last few years than while growing up and living in New York."
Ken was awed as he studied the letter and three cans sitting on the kitchen island. "I didn't know people in Europe were watching!"
We were all too curious to see what reindeer meat looked like, so our 17-year-old son bee-lined for the can opener. But who would be brave enough to taste it?
Six-foot-three teenage boys eat anything, so no surprise that Dante volunteered. And since I had tasted reindeer sausage once on a cruise through Alaska — and lived to tell about it — I fished two forks out of the utensil drawer.
"Is it cooked?" I asked, staring at the blob of raw-looking red meat peeking from under the jagged lid. "Read the label."
The majority was written in Danish except for the ingredients — and we had already used our imagination for that. We each stabbed a tiny forkful.
"It tastes like um … um … um," said Dante.
"Chicken?" I joked.
"No, I can't put my finger on it," he said, "but I'm not crazy about the aftertaste."
Ken put no fingers or taste on any of the reindeer meat. "I'll give you 24 hours," he laughed. "If nothing happens to you, I'll taste it."
As a group of friends were scheduled to come to our home that Friday evening, Ken had a bit more fun with the topic. "Make an hors d'oeuvre out of it," he suggested. "Think our friends would know?"
Oh dear Larry Landman, we apologize for the jokes, but please understand that reindeer meat is a new concept for the Singletons. We eat seafood in Maryland!
All joshing aside, we were touched by Larry's gift and laminated letter, especially the last sentence, a request that Ken enjoy the delicacy during Spring Training with fellow broadcasters: "Open a bottle of red wine and say a toast in memory of Bobby Murcer, and particularly Phil Rizzuto, whose admonition that one should not try to hit a home run, just a single, applies far, far beyond baseball."

Today, I have a guest blog published over on Cindy Grigg's website. We've swapped guestblogs, and her post, 9 ways to fix your Stereotyped Character is informative and fun to read! Go take a look at it! Also, take a look at the article, Researching mystery which you can find here:
If you're curious, here's the first two paragraphs of the article, for your perusal.
To begin with, I'm not normally a mystery author. To be specific, when I was younger, I only ever wrote fantasy novels, or romance. Now, however, I'm trying my hand at mystery novels, which means quite a bit of strife. I have a natural instinct when it comes to fantasy, so I find it easy to fall into. With Romance, I have my years as a fanfiction writer and fandom roleplayer to fall back on, which can both enhance and detract from my writing. (No one likes reading author's notes, I've since learned.)
I came to mystery as a genre because I love the tense atmosphere. Maybe it's less mystery and more suspense that I enjoy. But recently, I've found that I want a challenge. And the best way to challenge yourself is to write something you've never in a million years written before. But how can you write something you've never written before? How can you make sure that you don't slip back into writing what you know? And worst of all, how do you manage to make it a GOOD manuscript when you know nothing about your genre?

Maize polenta is creamy, delicious and filling, and for centuries represented the main staple in the poor, everyday cuisine of a large part of Northern Italy. Once it cools off and hardens, it can be recycled into a variety of dishes, from a "pasticcio" with meat or cheeses, to a cake, to these savory fried sandwiches (a classic Jewish Italian recipe, and perfect for Hanukkah). If you don't like anchovies ( I LOVE them!), you can replace them with smoked cheese.
If you have never made polenta before, check out these detailed instructions on one of my favorite Italian food blogs in English, Memorie di Angelina.
- 1 cup polenta (finely ground or quick cooking)
- salt (about 1 tsp)
- water to make polenta (follow instruction on the package, or about 3 cups)
- 12 anchovies (salt packed is better, but oil-packed is OK))
- 4-5 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil to make anchovy paste
- 1 clove garlic (whole)
- dredging flour
- 3 eggs
- olive oil for frying
In a large heavy pot, boil water and add salt. Pour in the corn meal in a thin stream whisking vigorously (use a whisk, not a spoon, to avoid clumping) and cook for about one minute or two before switching to a wooden spoon as the polenta thickens. Keep stirring until the polenta is fully cooked (about 30 minutes for regular polenta, and 3-5 minutes for "instant" polenta). Pour onto an oiled marble surface or cookie sheet or parchment paper. Spread out flat in a layer that's about 1/4-inch thick, and allow to cool completely.
In the meantime, rinse the anchovies (removing any bones). Heat olive oil in a small skillet on medium heat with the garlic clove. When the garlic is light brown, discard it and add the anchovies, stirring until they melt into a paste. Set aside.
Pour about 2" oil into a heavy-bottomed wide pot with tall sides (I use my le Creuset Dutch oven) or into your deep fryer. Heat the oil until it forms many tiny bubbles around a piece of bread or cracker thrown into the oil. If you have a candy thermometer, or are using a deep fryer, the right temperature is about 355 to 365 F.
Using a knife or a cookie cutter, cut the polenta into regular triangles or rounds about 2" wide.
Spread half of the polenta pieces with the anchovy paste and cover with a second piece, making "sandwiches. Dredge the sandwiches in flour and then in the slightly beaten eggs, and fry for about 2 to 4 minutes or until golden brown, making sure to maintain the temperature of the oil and to flip them only once (if you keep turning them, they absorb more oil).
Drain on a triple layer of paper towel and serve hot.

The Top 6 New Features in Windows 8.1
Microsoft's just-launched Windows 8.1 upgrade is way more than a service pack, even though it's a free update for Windows 8 users through the Windows Store. And, let's be frank, even the operating system's most vocal supporters will probably agree that Microsoft needs an update bigger than a service pack to change Windows 8's somewhat rocky narrative. Yes, a lot of the changes are tweaks and tightenings, but there are also plenty of new capabilities like built-in support for 3D printing, Miracast display sharing, and a new Web radio feature in the included Xbox Music app.
Windows 8.1 brings literally hundreds of updates, fixes, and tweaks for both home and business users, as well as for form factors from small tablets to large-screen workstations—more than is possible to cover in even in a long-format review, let alone in a quick cheat sheet of top new features. That said, below are what we consider the handful of new features that we think will affect the largest number of Windows 8 users.

CAVB to organise U17 Beach Volleyball African Championship
Cairo, Egypt, January 14, 2014 – The African Volleyball confederation (CAVB) will organise a new edition of the Beach Volleyball U17 Continental Championships for boys and girls in 2014. The new competition will be a qualifier for the FIVB World Championship in this age category.
The FIVB competition will showcase the top six African teams to qualify.
The African beach volleyball competition will be held in two phases: the zonal phase, which will qualify the top teams for the CAVB Cup finals where the six top ranked teams will secure their tickets to the World Championships.
Africa has organised the CAVB Cup for the U19, U21 and U23 age groups over the past two years. The U17 age category will be introduced for the first time in 2014.
"The new event will be a good occasion for African national federations to create a new generation of young players, which will surely reflect in terms of more progress for the sport in Africa," said CAVB Beach Director May Alaa.
"Now all national federations have to work hard from the school age to develop volleyball for the future especially after the great success of the other age groups created in the last couple of years."

Thermal trip units definition
SH201 Miniature Circuit Breaker uses an electrocmechanical trip unit to open circuit breaker contacts during an overcurrent event, the thermal trip unit is temperature sensitive and the magnetic trip unit is current sensitive, both unis act independently and mechanically with circuit breaker trip mechanism to open its contacts.
Overload protection
Overload protection is applicable to any installation, conductor or component which can be subjected to low-magnitude but long-time overcurrents, which can be dangerous because they reduce the life of electrical installation, conductor and components and if left unchecked could result in fire.
Time required for the bimetal to bend and trip circuit breaker varies inversely with the current, because of this, the tripping time becomes quicker as current increases in magnitude.
Short circuit protection
The magnetic trip unit protects against a short circuit, and is composed of an electromagnet and an armature.
Components of a magnetic trip unit
When there is a short circuit, a high magnitude of current passes through the coils creating a magnetic field that attracts the movable armature towards the fixed armature, this happer trip is pushed against the movable contact and the contacts are open. The opening of the circuit breaker contacts during a short circuit is completed in 0.5 miliseconds.

If you ever had to walk a balance beam, you probably remember that the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other on a very narrow surface can be a tricky maneuver. But since most of us don't spend our days tumbling on the beam, we tend to develop a narrow (pun intended!) view of the role of balance, assuming it's something that only gymnasts need to train. In reality, balance is involved with nearly every aspect of our daily lives — from sports-specific endeavors (like swinging a golf club or running) to everyday tasks (like walking the dog or loading the dishwasher). Not only will developing a strong balance ability make you less likely to fall, it also significantly improves how well you play a sport and manage your daily activities.
Your sense of balance is a complicated business. It's both sensory (namely your eyes and ears) and neuromuscular (your brain working with your muscles). Also, a huge component of balance is strength, including ankle strength, core strength and joint stability. "People think they won't have to worry about balance until they're much older," says Lynn Millar, PT, PhD, FACSM, professor of physical therapy at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. But balance doesn't just disappear overnight — it progressively diminishes over time. The good news: You can take measures now to keep you even-keeled in the future. Balance training — coupled with a healthy diet — will make you stronger, healthier, more agile and more confident in your movement.

The headline show at The Free Association brings together the best improvisers from the FA and a very special guest from the world of comedy, entertainment and beyond.
Our special guest this week is ROB CARTER.
Our guest will take a one-word suggestion from the audience to inspire their 'monologue' - true stories, opinions, thoughts, and anecdotes from their own life. These monologues are sometimes dark, sometimes racy, usually weird and always real! Our all-star team of improvisers will then use these monologues to inspire completely improvised scenes and sketches, for a fast-paced, electric and hilarious hour of comedy. Every show is completely different, but one thing is for sure - It's all created in the moment, before your very eyes.
We think this is one of the best improv nights in London. If you disagree, we'll give you your money back!

No one needs reminders that it's a tough job market out there. But more college grads are getting them every month when they have to make a payment—or, more accurately, fail to make a payment—on their student loans.
New data from the U.S. Department of Education show that student loan defaults are rising across the country and the Ninth District (see table). District states have rates that are generally well below the national average; however, every state is following the national trend of steadily higher default rates. Montana and South Dakota saw particularly large increases in the two-year default rate of those entering payment in fiscal year 2010.
The student loan default rate measures those entering repayment at any point during one federal fiscal year (Oct. 1 to Sept. 30) and defaulting by the end of the following fiscal year. Student loans are not in default until they are 270 days late. So, by the traditional two-year tracking window, ex-students have just 12 to 24 months to fall more than nine months behind in loan repayments.
A few years ago, Congress decided that window was too short, so it asked the Department of Education to extend the tracking window to three years (see table). This was the first year that the agency officially released three-year default data (for the cohort group entering payment in fiscal year 2009). The data show a trend similar to the two-year default data, only worse, as should be expected given the longer tracking window.
Again, students in district states performed better on loan repayments than the national average, but all saw rates increase rather significantly, with South Dakota's rate topping 10 percent (see table).For more background, detail and layman's methodology on student loan defaults in Ninth District states, see the April 2012 articles, College Finance 101: Not all their (de)fault? and The fine print on student default rates.

Okay you Christmas celebraters, the day is almost upon us. I am interested in hearing what wines people are planning to open for the holiday. Personally, I have a bottle of 2003 Saviah Une Vallee and a 2003 Cougar Crest Anniversay Cuvee on standby. However, I have a cold that has left me unable to taste much of anything so they may stay in the cellar. Leave a comment and let me know what you are planning to open tomorrow so I can live vicariously. Happy holidays to all.
Christmas wines - What are you planning to open to celebrate the holidays?

Wine?!? I just opened the Maker's Mark.
Wait on the good ones! For the love of god, please hold off! I just had the 05 Owen Roe Du Brul cab and it was flawed. Let me tell you having a wine when it is not at its peak, (or you are not,) just plain bites it! I was very excited for this wine and clearly the $15 wine we had before it put it to shame. How embarrassing! It was a Father's Day gift to my Dad...good thing he's so nice and pretended to like it regardless.
Just got back from Christmas in Idaho. Opened the Ensemble #3 and it was delicious after a 1.5 hr decant!
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
Ensemble No. 3. Now that is the perfect Christmas wine!
2004 Bionic Frog
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
Now you CAN'T tell me that you opened the 2004 Bionic Frog without telling me how it was?!?

THOMASVILLE, Ga. – It what was suppose to be a tune-up for their upcoming back-to-back Peach Belt double headers to culminate the 2012 season. The Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes experienced more late-inning heart break. They suffered yet another one-run, late inning loss in their split with the Lady Nighthawks of Thomas University.
GAME ONE: Georgia Southwestern-6 Thomas University-7 (9 Innings)
The "first-inning blues" haunted Georgia Southwestern yet again in the day's first game against the Lady Nighthawks. A three-run first inning by Thomas University gave the home team a lead that would last for nearly five innings. All three runs came off of walks by Brittny Dennison who walked five batters in the inning alone.
TU's Rachel Ivancic would keep the Lady 'Canes off the board over the course of the next four innings. Six runners were left on base by the Blue & Gold during the first four innings after three GSW hits and three walks issued by Ivancic. Yet the Lady Hurricanes would break through in the fifth inning by taking the lead in one inning.
The four-run fifth inning by Coach Ward and company began with Mason Moreland's third triple of the season. The sophomore's three-bagger was followed up by a single by Hayley Knight. The first run of the inning came when Gabby Buck reached on an error that allowed Moreland to score from third. The other three runs came off one swing off the bat by Avery Purser. Purser's first homer of the season would bring in Knight and Buck and give the Lady Hurricanes a slim 4-3 lead.
The game see-sawed back to the Lady Nighthawks' favor in the sixth inning, which saw them put up a pair of runs to re-take the lead at 5-4. The single-run lead would be equalized in the top of the seventh inning via a Casey Burns' RBI double that scored Katie Wooten.
The game would go to extra innings that saw both teams fail to score in the eighth. The Lady Hurricanes drove in what would have been the game-winning run in the top of the ninth. Rachel McElroy drove in Hayley Knight with a single passed the TU shortstop to give GSW the 6-5 lead. Yet, the final blow would be delivered by Thomas University to finalize the heart-breaking loss for the Lady Hurricanes.
A RBI double by Jessie Turner would tie the game with no outs in the ninth. A single, walk and fielder's choice would set-up Kaley Clark for the game-winning hit. Clark would single to left field for the walk-off win.
Friday's walk-off loss marks the sixth time this season the Lady Hurricanes have lost a game in the final inning.
GAME TWO: Georgia Southwestern-6 Thomas University-0
The Lady 'Canes would get their revenge in the second game at Thomas University, but the payback wouldn't come together until the sixth inning. The five-run inning was more than enough run support for Erin Vick and Katie Maddox who combined to throw the five-hit shutout.
It was an old-fashioned pitcher's duel to begin game two. Thomas University's Alexa Fair would no-hit the Hurricanes through the first five innings, which also saw her retire the GSW side in order in three of those five innings. Erin Vick would go toe-to-toe with Fair only surrendering three hits in her four innings of work to open the game.
The game would be won by Coach Ward and company in the sixth inning. It was in the inning that the Lady Hurricanes would not only break up Fair's no-hit and shutout bids, but they would also put the losing decision on her in the sixth.
Five singles by the first six batters for the Blue & Gold nickel and dimed Fair for two earned runs on RBI singles by Gabby Buck and Rachel McElroy. Yet the game would be blown open by Ashley Cavender who would hit a triple with the bases loaded to push the lead to five runs.
GSW got an insurance run in the top of the seventh when three more Lady Hurricane singles in the inning culminated in a RBI single by Gabby Buck.
Katie Maddox would keep it interesting in the sixth and seventh innings as the senior would give up a pair of singles and a pair of walks in each inning respectively. The TU threats in both innings proved to be nothing more than that as Maddox would close the door on the Lady Nighthawks and earn her seventh win of the season by a score of 6-0.
The win and the loss on Friday put the Georgia Southwestern record at 21-27 (3-13 PBC). The Lady Hurricanes will end their season this weekend with back-to-back PBC double headers at home versus Francis Marion and UNC Pembroke on Saturday and Sunday. First pitch on Saturday against the Lady Patriots is scheduled for 1 p.m.
The Lady Hurricanes have not been officially eliminated from the Peach Belt Conference Tournament. They are currently tenth out of eleven teams in the PBC, which features an eight-team tournament field. Coach Ward and company would have to win all four games over the course of the next two days. FMU and UNCP are the sixth and eleventh teams in the standings respectively and have a combined record of 43-42 (9-19 PBC). GSW would also need Lander and Columbus State to lose a majority of their remaining eight conference games.

Awkward! Taylor Swift + John Mayer Dine at the Same Restaurant [PHOTOS]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Let's make one thing clear: No one really likes to run into an ex. Least of all Taylor Swift and John Mayer, who had a pretty public falling out post-breakup. But that's what seemed to happen to the pair, who were both spotted dining at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood last night (Aug. 20).
While it's unclear if Swift and Mayer actually ran into each other or (gasp!) even dined together at the famed hotel's restaurant, they were both photographed leaving the hotel separately, in pictures you can check out below.
It's been four years since Swift allegedly-but-most-likely wrote about the musician in her breakup song 'Dear John,' and it's been two years since Mayer spoke out about the tune, revealing that he was "humiliated" by it. So its entirely possible that things between the two exes are just fine now. But either way, we have a feeling that Swift will just "shake it off."
John Mayer dons a blue suede blazer and tortoiseshell glasses while leaving the Chateau Marmont.
Taylor Swift rocks her signature red lipstick while a supposed bodyguard points a finger at the paparazzi.

UK's anti-Europe party seeks gains in EU election
LONDON (AP) — Fruitcake-free and ready to roll: That was the message from the upstart United Kingdom Independence Party as it finished a two-day conference Saturday focused on winning more seats in the European Parliament.
Consider the irony. A party that wants to pull Britain out of the European Union, and fortify its borders against migrants from Europe, is seeking increased leverage in a parliament based in Belgium and France.
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage, a politician happy to admit he is uncomfortable with the multitude of foreign languages heard on London public transportation, sees May's vote as a mischief-making prospect too rich to pass up.
"These elections, in many ways, will be an opportunity for us to tell the political class where to go," Farage told his followers.
UKIP already has 13 members in the 766-seat European Parliament, with hopes of gaining more of the United Kingdom's 73 spots. The May 22 election comes roughly a year before elections to the UK's own House of Commons, where UKIP has yet to win any seats.
Farage is banking on anti-EU and anti-immigrant sentiment among voters who believe that Britain has ceded too many decision-making powers to European bureaucrats.
Citing new official figures showing that the number of migrants arriving in Britain has far exceeded targets set by the Conservative-led government, Farage predicted that the country's largest-ever "migratory wave" was still to come and charged that Britain's three main political parties were doing nothing to prevent it.
Previous UKIP conferences have been overshadowed by distinctly off-message comments: the parliamentarian who described some women in the party as "sluts," or another who blamed the legalization of gay marriage for causing Britain's epic flooding. This year's event proved gaffe-free.
The change has not gone unnoticed. Political analyst Ann Treneman wrote in The Times of London that the conference constituted "UKIP's first post-fruitcake" gathering. She made it sound as if the party was sailing into the mainstream.
And the Conservative-friendly Daily Telegraph used its lead editorial to assert that events seemed to be boosting Farage at the expense of Prime Minister David Cameron, the Conservative leader. Under the headline "Cameron can't match Farage's simple message," the newspaper envisioned panic in British political circles should UKIP top the vote in May.
The Daily Telegraph said Cameron's hopes of renegotiating significant aspects of Britain's relationship with the EU — a cornerstone of his 2015 re-election strategy — suffered a blow when German leader Angela Merkel told British lawmakers this week that fundamental agreements would not be altered.
It said the latest migration figures supported Farage's case and described his message that "you cannot control your own borders and remain a member of the EU" as extremely clear.
Back in 2006, Cameron dismissed UKIP as a collection of "fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists," but he appears to be taking the party more seriously as the 2015 vote looms.
Seeking to steal UKIP's thunder, he has pledged to hold a 2017 referendum on Britain's EU membership if the Conservatives retain power.
Cameron's government also has introduced a series of bills to make it tougher for immigrants to access British welfare benefits. Payments for unemployment, housing and health care all will be harder to get if the proposals become law, although some EU officials have cautioned that some of the proposed new rules would be discrimatory and violate EU law.
Yet UKIP's popularity is rising in recent polling. At a by-election last month for an empty parliamentary seat in northern England, the UKIP candidate finished second — ahead of the Conservatives.

LONDON - "Doctor Who" fans rejoice - the BBC says it has recovered nine episodes of the sci-fi series that were feared lost in space and time.
The broadcaster says the missing episodes, and two others, were found in the storeroom of a television relay station in Nigeria.
"Doctor Who" was first broadcast in 1963 and remains one of the BBC's most popular programs.
Some early episodes were lost because the broadcaster wiped the tapes clean for re-use.
The BBC says the lost episodes were tracked down by tracing records of overseas shipments of BBC tapes for transmission.
The recovered episodes date from 1967 and 1968 and feature Patrick Troughton, the second of a dozen actors to play the show's time-traveling alien hero.
They consist of most of two six-part stories: "The Web of Fear" and "The Enemy of the World."
They will be offered for sale on iTunes from Friday, and later on DVD.
Almost 100 episodes of the series are still missing.

Winner of the European Car of the Year award for 2016, the seventh-generation Vauxhall Astra hatchback is now available in showrooms throughout the country.
The newest edition of Vauxhall's enduringly popular family car is up to 200kg lighter than the outgoing model, with its athletic looks and floating roof emphasising its premium design and character, whilst offering greater interior space, comfort and refinement. The Astra's broad-based appeal is further strengthened by its abundance of ground-breaking technology, as well as a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. Responsive 1.0, 1.4 and 1.6 litre Turbo petrol engines, along with vigorous yet frugal 1.6 litre Turbo diesel units with a range of power outputs, ensure that the Astra is delightful to drive.
The Astra Sports Tourer has similar exterior dimensions to the outgoing model but due to clever packaging offers more interior space for passengers and increased luggage space for their belongings. The array of useful technology available in both body styles, including Vauxhall's OnStar emergency personal assistance with 4G WiFi and IntelliLink infotainment system, increases convenience and security. At the same time a capable range of petrol and diesel engines offer power outputs from 100PS to 200PS. Furthermore, Co2 emissions from as low as 89g/km make the Astra Sports Tourer a particularly appealing choice to business users. Little wonder that the Astra was voted European Car of the Year for 2016.
Successive generations of the Astra hatchback have always been among the most aesthetically pleasing passenger cars on the road, and the latest model continues this tradition. The sharp-edged LED signature headlights segue seamlessly into the front grille, strengthening the visual impact of the car's athletic front profile. The side view and rising window line, together with the divided C-pillar that gives the impression of a "floating" roof, renders the vehicle attractive from any angle. 16", 17" or 18" alloy wheels enhance the Astra's handsome exterior still further.
The new Astra hatch's total length, as well as its wheelbase, is shorter than the sixth-generation version, resulting in crisper steering and more dynamic handling. At the same time, the designers have achieved the astonishing feat of increasing interior space for passengers. The redesigned seats now offer occupants in the rear 35mm more legroom, whilst drivers will enjoy increased headroom.
A number of highly inventive new features will give drivers of the new Astra safer and more relaxing journeys than ever before. The optional IntelliLux LED Matrix headlights, for example, work with the front camera system so you can drive on high beam without dazzling other road users. The Driver Assistance Pack, standard in the SRi specification, uses a front camera system to recognise traffic signs, alert the driver to a potential collision, sound a warning if you start to drift out of your lane on the motorway and even provides a steering wheel push back. Optional Keyless Entry & Start and the hands-free Advanced Park Assist functions, meanwhile, make the locking, unlocking and parking of the new Astra an effortless and automatic process.
The painstaking work of Vauxhall engineers has reduced weight by up to 200kg (depending on the model chosen), resulting in improvements to both performance and efficiency. This lighter frame adds to the exceptionally low fuel consumption and carbon emissions of its engine range.
The 1.6 litre CDTi S/S ecoFLEX "Whisper Diesel" unit is particularly impressive with regard to efficiency. It returns combined fuel economy of up to 85.6mpg and CO2 output of only 88g/km, making it a great choice for drivers who regularly travel long distances; as its name suggests, it is also notably quiet and refined. The choice of petrol engines available, meanwhile, offer eager performance and a swift throttle response - especially the 1.0 litre 105PS and 1.4 litre 150PS turbocharged units. A finely calibrated five- or six-speed manual or automatic transmission ensures that acceleration is always smooth and rapid.
The New Astra is available from £15,295, the below are our two feature models.
New Astra Energy from £17,295:
New Astra SRi from £17,895:
Additional features over and above Energy model:
Lane departure warning with lane keep assist Traffic sign recognition Following distance indicator Forward collision alert with automatic city emergency braking
The R 4.0 IntelliLink, the latest edition of Vauxhall's acclaimed infotainment system, is standard on all new Astra models. It is controlled via a 7" colour touchscreen, gives drivers hands-free Bluetooth connectivity, and is compatible with the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces – enabling you to access selected functions of a connected smartphone through the touchscreen or Siri voice control. Elite models provide rear passengers with two USB sockets, with which devices can be recharged.
OnStar our people friendly personal connectivity and service assistant is standard on SRi and Elite models of the new Astra and optional on all other trim levels.
This one of a kind system gives you in-car access to a host of innovations at the touch of a button and you are connected to a qualified advisor – not a machine. OnStar provides mechanical and emergency assistance in case the worst is to happen, it even transforms your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot making long journeys with children a little more bearable.

Would you judge a bookstore by its cover charge?
Chapter 1: You stumble upon an interesting book at your neighborhood bookstore.
Chapter 2: You go home and order it from Amazon for half as much.
Chapter 9: Your favorite bookstore is bankrupt.
Booksellers call it "showrooming," and it drives them crazy -- and out of business. Barnes & Noble believes that 40 percent of its customers use the store as a place to discover and examine titles, but then buy the books online.
How might brick-and-mortar bookstores fight back against their Amazonian nemesis?
During an interview on BBC this weekend, UK HarperCollins chief executive Victoria Barnsley referred to certain shoe shops that charge customers to try on merchandise. Perhaps, she suggested, bookstores could do that, too. The idea of asking customers to pay for the privilege of browsing physical books before purchasing them is "not that insane," she said. Bookstores could become, in essence, "book clubs."
Would you pay to page through novels in a book showroom?
People I spoke with in the industry saw no hope in that direction.
"If it comes to charging admission for customers to browse, we're done," said Mark Laframboise, the manager of Politics & Prose in Washington. Rather than expect customers to pay more, he placed the onus on publishers.
"What we need is some recognition from publishers that people are learning about books at brick-and-mortar bookstores and buying them through a multitude of channels and platforms. Publishers, in recognition of this, should offer increased co-op and increased discounts to stores."
Tim Huggins, a former bookstore owner in the Boston area who now works as an industry consultant, said that Barnsley's idea made him "laugh and then cringe." He imagined a carnival carney standing in front of the store shouting: "See the bearded lady turning pages! See the world's tallest man with two-covered tomes!"
Eileen McGervey, the owner of One More Page Books in Arlington, Va., had a similarly skeptical reaction. But she notes that her business is changing fast since she opened in 2011.
"While I don't see the 'cover charge' happening anytime soon (if ever) ... sometimes there are events where people pay to see an author or participate in an event. But one of the things I love about today's model is that anyone interested in learning about a book or being surrounded by books can do it."
Politics & Prose co-owner Lissa Muscatine said showrooming is a major problem for the industry, but not so much for her store.
"As long as customers appreciate the services that indies provide -- a gathering spot that offers human interaction, expert booksellers who can make thoughtful and customized recommendations, other kinds of programming, and the browsing and discovery experience that readers enjoy -- we won't have to contemplate something as draconian as charging people to browse the aisles. I certainly hope it never comes to that."
Perhaps the closest example of the "book club" model is in the San Francisco area, where the famous Kepler's bookstore recently resurrected itself by collecting more than $700,000 in donations from area customers. The store is also exploring the possibility of selling charitable shares of its business. But that's a particularly beloved store, set among a particularly wealthy clientele, and it remains open to anyone, whether they want to buy or just showroom.
Knopf publicity director Paul Bogaards scoffed at the idea of charging customers to look at physical books. "We already have a pay-to-browse model," he said by email. "They are called 'libraries,' and they are supported by our tax dollars."

Food & Drink
It's cake. No, it's ice cream. Yes! It's both
No baking required to make this impressive, delicious and totally fit-for-summer cake.
OK... So maybe "fit" isn't how you'll feel after eating a hefty slice of this ice cream cake, but you will feel refreshed.
The cake is versatile -- use any two ice cream flavors you like -- and can be made well in advance. And because it serves 16 people with ease, it's perfect for a summer barbecue.
Ice Cream Cake
Start to finish: 3 hours (30 minutes active)
Makes: 16 servings
Two 1 1/2-quart containers of ice cream (two complementary flavors)
12 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
1 cup jarred hot fudge sauce
Half of an 8-ounce tub frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup purchased caramel sauce
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds, divided
Maraschino cherries, to serve
Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with foil (to prevent leaks).
Allow 1 container of ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly softened.
In a medium bowl, mix all but 1/4 cup of the chocolate sandwich cookies and the hot fudge sauce. In another bowl, stir together the whipped topping, caramel and 1/4 cup of the almonds.
Spread the full container of softened ice cream into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the ice cream so that it is flat, even and has no air bubbles. Top with the hot fudge mixture, then freeze for 15 minutes.
While the cake freezes, allow the second container of ice cream to soften at room temperature.
Spread the second flavor of ice cream over the hot fudge mixture. Spoon and spread the caramel-nut topping over the second flavor of ice cream. Sprinkle the top with the reserved cookies and almonds. Decorate with maraschino cherries and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
To serve, remove the sides and bottom of the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.

Shikaki: Gaza becoming state, West Bank hurting
Crown Center fellow is a leading analyst of Palestinian opinion and politics
Very few subjects generate so much talk on the basis of so little real information as the question of what the world looks like from a Palestinian perspective – particularly a realistic, deeply informed, dispassionate Palestinian perspective.
So it's a real occasion when Khalil Shikaki, a senior fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies shows up at Brandeis for his annual team-teaching stint with center director Shai Feldman and the center's other senior fellow, the Egyptian scholar Abdel Monem Said Aly.
Shikaki is a leading authority on Palestinian public opinion and politics, and this year, as usual, the brown-bag lunch and briefing held on his arrival drew a full house.
Predictably enough, there was not much reason for optimism this time around. Value lay in the crispness and clarity of Shikaki's analysis, which gave listeners a sense of how the pieces of the Israel-Palestine puzzle relate to one another.
Driving the current situation are the effects of the Arab Spring, the U.S. role in the region and internal developments among Israelis and Palestinians, Shikaki said. The interactions of these forces are pushing and pulling toward three potential outcomes: The building of a state in Gaza by Hamas, the weakening and eventual collapse of the Palestinian Authority and the growth of a one-state reality – of Israel and the occupied territories becoming a state in fact whether they are a state in law or not.
In Gaza, Hamas already has had its own government, by-laws and public institutions for some time. Now, Shikaki said, the territory Hamas is becoming steadily less dependent on Israel, as more and more of its goods come through its border with Egypt.
"Hamas has zero interest in goods coming from Israel to Gaza," he explained, because "customs duties collected by Israel on those goods go to the PA in Ramallah, while every liter of fuel that comes through the tunnels from Egypt is two shekels to Hamas. Every transaction with Israel benefits the PA. Every transaction with Egypt benefits Hamas."
Not so long ago, most supplies of all kinds came to Gaza through Israel. Today that's down to 50 percent. According to Shikaki, 90 percent of Gaza's construction needs last year were supplied from Egypt.
Add to this the recent visit of the Emir of Qatar, who pledged $400 million in development assistance and unlimited free diesel to meet Gaza's power generation needs. Add to that the potential of Turkey's prime minister visiting. Gaza looks more and more like an emergent state.
Meanwhile the Palestinian Authority is steadily losing credibility, Shikaki said. The PA is out of money and the state-building efforts of its politically moderate, avowedly non-violent President Salam Fayyad in the West Bank are deteriorating. Prices are rising.
Recent demonstrations have targeted not only Fayyad but PA police stations, where officers who are not getting paid on time and who are uncomfortable with the shift against them in the public mood are having second thoughts about the wisdom of their security coordination with Israel, coordination that has been a big factor in the long period of calm in Israel and the West Bank.
If there were to be a return to chaos and violence in the territory, more-direct Israeli security efforts would likely result – pushing the situation ever farther toward a one-state reality.
On the political level, said Shikaki, whose Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research is the leading Palestinian opinion-polling organization, a majority of Palestinians now say the PA is not legitimate, and that agreements it might make with Israel would not be legitimate. A majority still favors a two-state solution, but three-quarters do not believe such a solution is any longer possible.
From the Palestinian's perspective, the ruling coalition in Israel, which is expected to continue in power after the upcoming elections, is continuously strengthening the movement toward one state encompassing Israel and the West Bank through its support of settlement building and its tough stance toward the PA.
"The ability of the PA to survive under these conditions is limited," Shikaki said. "The greater the one-state reality, the greater the state of Gaza and the weaker the Palestinian Authority."

Save Kishantos now, tomorrow may be too late
As part of their campaign to save Kishantos, Greenpeace and other NGOs have plowed the biggest text ever in Hungary! It's 7.5 hectares!
So far 92 NGO organization and 1800 individuals have signed the open letter for Kishantos - sign and send today, tomorrow may be too late.
Suggested letter:
"Dear Prime Minister Viktor Orbán,
Dear Minister Sándor Fazekas
I am (We are) deeply concerned about the fate of the Kishantos organic farm and Folk High School Centre. Kishantos Rural Development Centre has been a symbol of environmental, economic and social sustainability and democracy. However, as a result of the decision of the Hungarian Land Fund (NFA), the Kishantos Rural Development Centre would lose all the land of its organic demonstration farm (452 hectares) as of 1 November 2013. This would mean an end to the internationally well-known and highly respected farm and education centre.
The establishment and the operation of Kishantos Rural Development Centre has been helped by German taxpayers' money as well as German and Danish experts, institutions and communities in many ways .The decision to terminate the Centre will be another serious support to those voices which declare that providing Western European funding to Hungary is a waste of money, because this money is misused and the investments made possible by such money are insecure. I (we) believe that it would be a big mistake to give support to such voices.
For these reasons we ask you to annul the above mentioned decision of NFA and guarantee that Kishantos Rural Development Centre will continue its outstanding work during the coming years.
Sincerely yours,"
Please tell your colleagues and friends and send the letter to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán (orbanviktor [at] orbanviktor.hu) and Minister for Rural Development Sándor Fazekas (miniszter [at] vm.gov.hu) with a copy to savekishantos [at] gmail.com.
Kishantos has been serving sustainability and democracy in Hungary for 21 years. Kishantos is a victim of land grabbing, but we can still save Kishantos with your help.
Kishantos Rural Development Centre is an NGO-based civil institution and grassroots initiative by local people. The centre has two main parts: a Folk High School Centre and a 452-hectare organic demonstration farm. Its main mission is to spread up-to-date knowledge, and the ideas of sustainability and democracy. The organic demonstration farm surrounds the education centre.
The Hungarian Government gave the Kishantos Rural Development Centre non-profit organisation the right to lease 452 hectares of land for in 1998. The Folk High School Centre works on the basis of the ideas of N.F.S. Grundtvig, the great Danish thinker. His idea was "the school for life" where the living dialogue and the experience are the main instruments of education. The school and the whole Centre are financed by the income from the farm.
The lease for the state owned land is valid until 31 October 2013. But last October, the Hungarian Land Fund (representing the State as the owner) called issued an open call tender for the rent of the lands in ten lots. According to the decision of the Hungarian Land Fund, the Kishantos non-profit Organisation will lose all the land as of 1 November 2013.
The persons and companies who "won" the tender for leasing the land have no experience in organic farming. Some of them do not have experience in farming at all! If any of them will start to cultivate the land, Kishantos will very likely lose its qualification as a BIO SUISSE organic farming area and the Folk High School Centre will also disappear as it was financed by the farm income.
Kishantos will be the victim of a government-assisted land grab.
Kishantos is very unique: it a reference project in Europe where sustainable agriculture, ecological farming, education and democracy have been functioning together in perfect harmony, and is proof that these basic values can really work together to serve society.

5 October 2013 at 9.31pm | Comment on this article
Ben Frost's new piece The Wasp Factory is every bit as disturbing as the book it is based on.
He speaks here about working with a source text for the first time and his approach to composition, which incorporates noises as well as notes: "There's an inherent democracy in my approach to music making... I don't make the voice of a string quintet any more important than the hiss of a snake or the cracking of ice or the sound of fire."
Ben's music was heard previously at the Royal Opera House, when he created the score for Wayne McGregor | Random Dance's FAR.
The Wasp Factory is one of more than 15 new works announced by The Royal Opera at the start of the year, to be staged between now and 2020.
Have you seen The Wasp Factory? Let us know what you thought.
Remaining performances of The Wasp Factory have very limited availability.
The production is a co-production between HAU Hebbel am Ufer and Laura Berman_Next, Berlin, and The Royal Opera and Holland Festival in collaboration with Cork Midsummer Festival. It has been made possible by support from Capital Cultural Fund Berlin and Nordic Culture Point.

- Dr. Chris H.
"It's about being the best version of yourself and doing the necessary things to become the kind of person who has a successful practice. ChiroDestiny has helped me to do that!"
- Dr. Megan E.
"After having been a member for a year and a half, I have never been happier. The biggest thing I have learned with coaching is that it is not "the do" it's "the who." A lot of us get hung up on what we have to do and create when really it comes FROM you not TO you. That's been what lead to some of the biggest personal transformation for me which has translated to many successes in my practice."
- Dr. Michelle W.
"I've tried other coaches and tried being in the minutia of my practice and it just wasn't enough. And so I took the plunge and joined ChiroDestiny and I am extraordinarily happy. My coach is incredible and brilliant. Since I joined, my life is so much better, my practice is more efficient, my volume is growing. I couldn't be happier."
- Dr. Seth L.
"Being in this group is one of the best things about my profession."
- Dr. Sandra T.
"ChiroDestiny helps me by bringing more balance and peace and harmony into my life than ever before."
- Dr. Joe H.
"ChiroDestiny takes the roof of what I thought I could do."
- Dr. Jen H
"Thanks to ChiroDestiny, I have had record years 5 years in a row"
- Dr. Dan C.
"A lot of the different concepts taught at ChiroDestiny have helped to make my life become better."
- Dr. Austin C.
"What's different at ChiroDestiny is that the coaches actually guide the members through a process of self discovery. It's not about what to do in the practice, it's more about who to BE and in the process the practice changes and the practice grows and that's terrific! I'm so grateful for all ChiroDestiny has done for me. We just hit over 2000 visits in a month for the first time ever! "
- Dr. Robert F.
"Rick & Brett provide a dynamic duo that's so needed today in chiropractic because they are doctors who live it, breathe it, and produce it. It's one thing to have a consultant who can only see from the outside, but it's another who lives with their practices and their families and balances those challenges and creates new financial opportunities. They are living the dream, and can help anyone to live theirs too."
- Dr. Carol Ann M.
"ChiroDestiny allows me to grow and become a better version of myself. Once I worked on myself, all the other things fell into place. ChiroDestiny represents a chiropractic family that I hold near and dear to my heart."
- Dr. Tina M.
"Joining ChiroDestiny was a turning point in my career. My practice has more than doubled since I joined ChiroDestiny. My home life is even better than before and I am consistently happier throughout my week. Rick, Brett and the ChiroDestiny team are people who care about helping chiropractors excel in all areas of your life – both personally and professionally."
- Dr. Melanie B.
"This past year with ChiroDestiny, I've saved more than ever before (both pre and post tax), my actual days in office decreased, my income increased, and I lowered my overhead. By far the greatest success/accomplishment is the fact that despite having repetitive acute flare ups of a low back problem which transformed into a chronic issue this year, I remained calm, stayed focus and did not disintegrate to an unhealthy version of myself."
- Dr. Jared H.
"The personal and professional growth I have experienced over the years with this group has been life changing! ChiroDestiny is so near and dear to me!"
- Dr. Andrew S.
"The growth, both from a clinical/professional aspect to my own personal growth this past year from the coaching and the seminars has been amazing. Looking forward to even bigger and better changes in 2018."
- Dr. Mike D.

Microsoft recently released its Azure RemoteApp client for Windows RT devices, giving users a way to access apps that they can't install on their machines.
Windows RT machines, such as the Microsoft Surface 2, are based on ARM chip technology and can only run Windows Store Apps. Using the RemoteApp client, Windows RT device users can access "desktop" apps, which are the more traditional Windows 7-like apps.
While the RemoteApp programs will appear to run locally, they are actually running in Azure on a virtual machine on a remote data center, Microsoft' said in its announcement.
While the applications accessed via the Azure RemoteApp client have to be hosted remotely to be accessed, Microsoft offers a demo for organizations or individuals who haven't set that up. The demo provides testers with five minutes of free access to Excel, PowerPoint and Word running on the Azure RemoteApp infrastructure, as described here.
In addition to the Windows RT client for Azure RemoteApp, clients are available for Android, iOS and Mac OS X platforms. Microsoft is planning to release an Azure RemoteApp client for Windows Phone 8.1 sometime this summer.
The Azure RemoteApp service was announced at Microsoft's TechEd event in May. It's not the same as a desktop-as-a-service offering, which Microsoft hasn't really talked much about for Azure. However, Brad Anderson, Microsoft's corporate vice president for Windows Server and System Center, suggested in a recent talk that Microsoft might consider virtual desktop infrastructure solutions for Azure sometime "in the future."
Azure RemoteApp uses Microsoft's Remote Desktop Services protocol to connect with clients. It taps Microsoft Azure datacenter infrastructure or it can be set up in a hybrid network. At present, there's no indication when Microsoft plans to roll out the service commercially.

Jogja Istimewa: A Compilation of Cutting-Edge Music From Yogyakarta, Indonesia
This compilation was initiated by Marzuki Mohammad of Jogja Hip Hop Foundation and Adi Adriandi of Kongsi Jahat Collective in May 2010 as an archival project of recent top-underrated Yogyakarta artists. It is curated by Wok The Rock (Yes No Wave Music), Ajie Wartono (Warta Jazz) and Anton Kurniawan (A&R of Warner Music Indonesia). The 10 artists selected to create new song for the compilation are Jogja Hip Hop Foundation, Serigala Malam, Frau, Zoo, Dubyouth, Armada Racun, Risky Summerbee & The Honeythiefs, Individual Life and DOM 65.
This album was planned to be release at Yogyakarta City 254th anniversary but then postponed due to the Mount Merapi eruption. The album was released on November 19th, 2010. Three tracks I uploaded here are from Ki Jarot (Jogja Hip Hop Foundation), Zoo and DOM 65. Jogja Hip Hop Foundation is a hip hop community who infiltrate hip hop with javanese language and traditional music. For this compilation, Zoo collaborate with Wukir to record one of their future material turning their previous noisy sound to be more clean and complex. DOM 65 is the first streetpunk band in Indonesia who are transcending their punk root toward progressive/psychedelic rock.

From dark and raw to bleached and faded, we can all agree that a great-fitting pair of jeans is a menswear essential that will never go out of style. With more new and unique denim brands entering our Men's Shop lineup than ever before, we asked our buying team to name a few whose stories (and, of course, jeans) they thought you, our valued reader, would like to know. Keep reading for the low-down on eight cutting-edge denim brands—from zany Canadian start-ups to 125-year-old American icons.
Naked & Famous Denim
8 Denim Brands You Need to Knowon March 17, 2014
Japan x Canada = Naked & Famous Denimon February 19, 2013
Naked & Famous Denim sources its fabrics only in Japan, at prestigious mills steeped in heritage and renowned for craftsmanship—and manufactures its jeans only in the brand's homeland of Canada, on high-quality machinery run by well-trained staff.
The result is top-shelf, no-nonsense jeans, at a great price, for veteran denim-heads and newcomers alike. (Plus some freaky denim experiments—more on that later.)
The other result is that, after countless trips from Canada to Japan and back, Naked & Famous founder Brandon Svarc and team have become connoisseurs of both nations' cultures. Below are Svarc's travel tips (warnings?) for the next time you're up North—or far East.
Japan: Baseball. "We attended a Climax Series (that's what they call Playoffs) in Tokyo on our last visit, and it was so much fun. The cheering is orderly and organized—it's highly different from North-American fans. At the 7th-inning stretch, everyone simultaneously launches blue balloons in the air! It's quite a sight."
Canada: Hockey. "Not shockingly, we love hockey. We love to play on ice, roller and floor. Funny enough, we actually once made denim-and-leather baseball mitts, so I guess the next sports creation from our brand should be denim-covered hockey gauntlets."
Japan: Udon. "Okayama is where we buy our denim fabric, and there are many famous Udon restaurants that we hit up each time we visit. I prefer hot Udon with shrimp tempura. Mmm."
Canada: Poutine. "If you ever visit Montreal, you are not allowed to leave before eating poutine! It's french fries with squeaky cheese curds and gravy poured on top! Also mmm."
Japan: Habushu. "It's this crazy alcohol from Okinawa, Japan, that contains a venomous cobra inside the bottle! We have three bottles in our office. The Japanese say it makes your bamboo stiff."
Canada: Ice Wine. "To be honest, this isn't our personal favorite to drink, but it is our favorite gift to bring each time we visit Japan. It's made in Canada, and creating a wine out of frozen grapes makes a great story to tell."
Japan: Hostess Clubs. "Japanese adult clubs aren't what you might think. In fact, there is no nudity allowed. Fabric suppliers love taking us to these places where cute Japanese girls sit and pour your drinks and talk to you about life, and anything really. You pay by the hour, but it's all-you-can-drink."
Canada: Danse Contact. "Montreal is quite famous for its gentleman's clubs. It's said that we have more than Vegas! Personally, we only attend these places if one of our friends is having a bachelor party, but the veterans know that the best clubs to visit are the ones that say 'Danse Contact' in the window, which means it's 100% legal to…" [Ed. note: The rest of this sentence omitted for the sake of decency.]
Japan: Kojima Hotel View. "We always stay at the same hotel in Kojima, Japan, which is a beautiful city in the countryside near Okayama, where there are many fabric mills and denim companies. There is a stunning view of the Great Seto Bridge, which is the longest two-tiered bridge system in the world."
Canada: Whistler Blackcomb. "While in Whistler, BC, a few years ago, I ventured to the top of the giant Blackcomb mountain glacier. It took like three or four chairlifts and two buses to get there! But once at the top, it was one of the most spectacular views I've ever witnessed in my entire life."
Coming Soon from Naked & Famous. Here's the brand's founder Brandon Svarc talking up the styles we'll carry at the Nordstrom Men's Shop this coming spring.
Advanced Color-Change Technology. Did he say 'thermo-chromic'? Here they are in action.
The Everest of Denim. Those freaky denim experiments we mentioned earlier? Here's one from previous seasons: jeans so thick, they can stand up on their own. Watch to hear the method behind Svarc's madness.

Videos and other materials are just starting to roll out about the Seven Wonders of Oregon, a new campaign hosted by Travel Oregon to introduce some remarkable places in our gorgeous state. The Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon and the surrounding area were lucky (and naturally) chosen to be one of those. Here's Travel Oregon's video about the Wallowas. She's not named, but our friend Alice is the rider seen in the footage:
Great teaser footage for the town of Joseph Oregon too! The featured brewery is our own Mutiny Brewing Company (great beer in a lovely summer outdoor setting looking at these same mountains). Alice rides the Wallowa Lake Tramway to the top of Mount Howard (wonder if she fed the squirrels while she was there?). And the vista shot at the end? Looks to me like the Hat Point Overlook of Hells Canyon.
All this and a whole lot more that didn't make the video. If you need a little help with your trip planning, give us a call here at our Eastern Oregon Bed and Breakfast and we'll be happy to help you out.
That's what a teaser is all about–there's just enough in the video to get your travel juices flowing. Time to start planning for that summertime Eastern Oregon Vacation!

Are the shelves adjustable? and can I buy extra shelves?
Yes the shelves are adjustable on a 33mm pitch. There are lugs on the upright beams every 33mm and these slide into corresponding clips on the horizontal support beams. Of course you can get extra shelves, just give us a call - we prefer to discuss extra shelves with you as they can affect the weight loadings of the system.
Can I load these shelves with a forklift truck?
No, the SuperShelf system is designed to be hand loaded.
Can I join different lengths of shelving bays together?
Yes, the system is designed exactly for this purpose. But be careful as you cannot join bays of different depths.
