Structural Relocation
Sometimes the right buildings are in the wrong place and it may be that these become abandoned and neglected over the years because of their location.
However, believe it or not building relocation is possible. One can dismantle, renovate and re-locate such buildings - provided you have the right structural expertise.
Our best example of this is a mid-16th century two storey timber-framed building which comprised a central stack separating two bays. The building had a chequered history; it was a private house, a soup kitchen in the 19th century and then belonged to some coach builders who had an adjoining workshop. Having then been used as commercial premises it was entirely abandoned by the 1960'sPlay Video
Working closely with the owners of the site and the local authorities, our highly skilled workforce painstakingly dismantled the Grade 2 listed building. They then brought it back to our workshop to do some renovations and re-built it on a new site as a beautiful four bedroom house using 80% of the original materials.
We believe the company ethos which is: "historic integrity sympathetically delivered"
Here's what the owner said "they have put a lot of care and interest into this place you can feel it when you come into the building – it has been put together with a lot of pride"

The All New Stark Raving Sane
Hypothetical Solutions has just launched their all new, long overdue blog Stark Raving Sane.
This is were we will be talking some sense to ourselves and some nonsense not to ourselves. Hence the name.
Here you will find our musings on web development and design, as well as news from Hypothetical Solutions.

In Dublin we talk a lot about the startup/multinational relationship and how we can encourage these companies, who already work side by side in their hundreds, to collaborate more closely, and ultimately do business with each other.
The potential for business becomes even more tangible when you realize that many of these global companies have R&D centers here, design and build products for global markets here, and employ key global talent right here too. Im talking about companies like Hubspot, Workday, Etsy, Google, Zalando, TripAdvisor, Mastercard, Amazon, Intel, Groupon and scores of other well-known names.
You can sense the depth of their presence in Dublin as you walk around Silicon Docks, and many other parts of the city.
So, it would seem like a no-brainer then – and an obvious mission for this office – to make Dublin the tech hub with the most valuable Startup/Multinational engagement programs in the world.
And were at the early stages of figuring out just how to make this happen.
A recent conversation with Norma O Callaghan, an EMEA Director at global security tech firm Trend Micro, shed light on one multinational's approach to startup engagement that's both practical and compelling.
Trend Micro offers employees below Director level the opportunity to get involved with startups by creating cross-functional teams (say a mix of tech, finance and marketing) to participate in DealBroker, an annual IT@Cork event that introduces startups to multinationals.
If the team identifies a startup theyd like to learn more about, they secure executive-level sponsorship internally for the project before diving into an assessment of product and business model. The project concludes with a presentation to the executive sponsor and, in some cases, a longer term customer or partner relationship.
Norma says Trend Micros approach encourages teamwork, risk taking, and diverse perspectives on innovation and creating new solutions on the fly. It also prompts their people to have a more open mindset towards startups, a mindset they're a lot less likely to encounter if they come in cold to pitch to a senior executive.
Back here in Dublin, about 40 multinationals have already signed up for our Evangelist programme, to provide startups with special offers, events and access to technical mentors (to sign up email Cathal – firstname.lastname@example.com).
Soon though well want to move beyond this CSR type activity and Trend Micros model might be one way to partner with our multinational supporters.
Dublin Business Innovation Center are also exploring ways to engage in this area and well hear more about their plans at the FutureScope Conference on May 31st.
I expect it to be swarming – in the nicest way possible – with multinational and startup enthusiasts looking to learn from and do business with each other.

'Fluff' caddying for Furyk then Ko at Pinehurst No. 2
The last time Fluff worked the LPGA was for Michelle Wie. During a break at the Williamsburg event, I heard him declare that he would never be back. Everyone has a price.
US Open Tweets:
Pinehurst Resort
@PinehurstResort Stenson: "If you want to see some train wrecks, have a hot dog, a snickers and a cold drink and go to the 5th (green).

@PinehurstResort Graeme: "I think the winner of this tournament will have 10-12 birdies maximum."
Pinehurst Resort @PinehurstResort Co-leader Kevin Na: "Even par is going to win this golf tournament."
Watched the BRA-CRO match in The World Cup. Is this what the rest of the world is enamored with? Never seen so many fakers and whiners gathered in one place. A few of these guys could make their Olympic diving team.

How to Replace Your Car's Cabin Air Filter
Get expert tips on changing your car's cabin air filter, and learn how to keep the air in your car clean if you don't have one.
Keep the Air Clean in Your Car
About half of all newer cars are equipped with a cabin air filter. If your car has one (check your owner's manual), you're supposed to change it every 20,000 to 25,000 kilometres, or once a year. But if you're like most drivers, you're still driving with the original filter and it's likely clogged. It's not just a comfort issue. Just as a clogged furnace filter reduces the furnace's efficiency, a clogged cabin air filter reduces the efficiency of the heating and cooling system for the car interior.
A clogged filter can also cause major window fogging problems and contribute to lower gas mileage. And because of the sluggish airflow, eventually you'll have to replace a burned-out blower motor for $150 or more.
The good news is that cabin air filter replacement is a do-it-yourself project. The filter cost only $25 at the dealer, and the job took less than 30 minutes. In most cases, you'll only need a Phillips screwdriver. You can usually find replacement instructions in the owner's manual.
If your manual doesn't show how to find and replace the filter, ask the dealer parts department for instructions. Many new filters have an instruction sheet-or the instructions may be on the manufacturer's web site.
Where to Find Your Car's Cabin Air Filter
Unscrew the glove box hinges. Then press in on both sides of the glove box to tilt it down and pull it free to access the filter tray.
Replace with the New Filter
Slide the filter tray back into place and reassemble the glove box.
No Cabin Filter? Add an Air Purifier
If your car isn't equipped with a cabin air filter, you're not out of luck-you can still add an ion purifier. Ion purifiers generate billions of negatively charged ions that attach to viruses, bacteria, dust and pollen. The particles are then attracted to positively charged surfaces like your plastic dashboard. Once they settle, it's just a matter of using a spray cleaner on all the hard surfaces to wipe away the pollutants.

Rene Gaemers and Simon van Lammeren are the brains behind XION® Protective Gear. Made initially to protect stunt professionals, their products featuring D3O® technology are now used by skiers, snowboarders, motorcyclists and even special forces soldiers.
How did XION® get started?
Simon: We were both involved in stunts for film and television and were mainly working with bulky, rigid protection pads at that time. Wearing them underneath the wardrobe was usually a no go because the camera could see it, so it was usually a choice between wearing pads or not, which is a bad choice. Also in terms of impact protection, the foam parts of the pads often got entirely pushed-in by the ridged shell, so you ended up with bruises.
How did you first hear about D3O?
Simon: Back in 2005 we saw an article in a magazine about D3O and we thought it could be good for the stunt market. When we first visited, you were still in an empty office with a whiteboard working out what markets to start working with. Stunts obviously wasn't there.
Rene: We got a demonstration of what the goo could do. It looked very impressive and like something we had been looking for, in the sense that it's flexible with no restriction in movement. We started to design something for ourselves to fit our own need, trying to get the best way to make it work. We were always convinced that D3O® technology was a much better option than any other foam or pad out there and we still are.
From stunts, you moved into winter sports. How did that decision come about?
Rene: A lot of the stunt guys and girls that we worked with were also doing extreme sports. They're all sports fanatics. So, before you knew it we were getting requests from sports all over the world.
Simon: The snow sports market was the hottest one for us at that time. Protection is always secondary to what people are doing. They need to wear it but they'd prefer not to. So, if it's comfortable and you don't notice you're wearing it, it doesn't restrict your movement, then it makes most of the people very happy. We've managed to achieve that and lots of riders are now choosing XION®.
What sort of feedback do you get from customers using XION® products?
Simon: I remember one guy from TheGoodRide who said he was going down the hill, flew through the air and hit his back on an ice patch. He thought he was going to have broken every bone in his body, but realised when he got up that nothing was wrong. That's absolutely brilliant, those are the things you want to hear.
Rene: Another guy from America crashed his KTM in the desert. He was testing our kit and didn't see a tree that had crashed across the road and smashed through it. He said, 'I should have broken every bone in my body, there was nothing left of the motorcycle, the whole front was gone', but he didn't have a scratch or a mark on him. We get quite a number of those stories.
The PPE market has been a big growth area for XION®. Was it difficult to get into that space?
Simon: We created a new product line for our free ride range and parallel to that we'd always tried to push the product in the PPE market. Rene had contacts involved in riot control as he is an ex-military police man and police officer in Amsterdam.
Rene: The special forces are usually the first adaptors. They're usually able to decide their own budget and what they spend their money on. We figured that would be the route to market. If we could get those guys to like it, that would be proof it worked and it would work down the ladder.
Was it difficult to convince the military and police forces that low-profile, flexible armour was better?
Rene: Blunt trauma protection has always been a lesser area of interest than ballistics. Throughout the decades, when a tender was written they would just copy and paste what the requirements were. A certain type of foam, mounted on plastic with straps. That's basically what everyone has seen blunt trauma protection as over the years. A lot of our time has been spent educating, through the special forces of many countries, what blunt trauma protection could be now.
Have they changed their views? What sort of feedback have you had?
Rene: The problem with PPE is that you can't just go around telling everybody like you would with sports goods. But with the network we have now, I can connect people. I have ambassadors within the air force, navy, SWAT teams, whatever, that are willing to give testimonials to other teams that are interested. They are so enthusiastic about the gear that I don't have to sit in on the conversation. I know they're going to say 'this is great, you all should wear this and it helped us'.
What's next for XION® in 2018?
Simon: Basically, expanding on the PPE market. We started a project with Triumph last year and we're supplying them with kit for the first time in December. It's an undergarment jacket with D3O® chest, back and elbow protection. In sports, we're expanding mainly in Europe and we now have a distributor in China. We've got a dedicated social media team working on our brand visibility. We always link the new stuff back to stunts as the customers like the story behind it. We get testimonials in all the time.

I ran a home daycare for a couple years about 5 years ago. It was very up and down lots of good experiences and lots of bad. I took time off when my son was born and haven't started back up as he was diagnosed with special needs and severe food allergies and it was just never the right time. During this time period I went back to school to complete my ECE and I will be finished it this year. It has helped me immensely in understanding how to manage a home daycare and how to teach and guide the children.
My issue is the previous experiences I have had with a family who I still see every day picking my kids up from school. They were my first clients and it didn't end well. Their son was very unruly and I had really no way to manage his behaviours at the time. The mom told me when he acts up at home the dad spanked him on his bare bum until he cried and turned red. I thought that was pretty upsetting but I know some people speak so I didn't want to judge. They withdrew a little while after and I was very relieved. They know a lot of people in our small town and I'm worried they have maybe ruined my reputation. I don't see how I could start up again knowing I will be seeing these people all the time and doing daycare but at the same time I don't see how I could go back to working a job with my son's needs. Any advice?

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 70 million Americans have chronic sleep problems. It's no wonder then sales of prescription sleep drugs is in the billions of dollars per year. What do you do if you are also suffering from bad sleep but don't want to take a prescription? There are many sleep supplements on the market that use all-natural ingredients that can help you sleep without a prescription or even an over-the-counter drug. From pills, to sprays to tea, the best natural sleep supplements come in a variety of applications. After reading this review of the best sleep supplements, you should try a few and see which one works best for you.
Our Rating
Driftoff Natural Sleep Aid
Dr. Xu's Restful Sleep Natural Sleep Aid Supplement
Sleep Vites: Natural Sleep Formula Advanced Sleep Aid Drink Mix
Künzle Swiss Herbal Sleep Tea
Organic India Organic Tulsi Herbal Tea
The makers of Driftoff are hedging all their bets by including the most popular natural supplements in one pill.
For some reason Valerian combined with hops makes for a wonderfully potent sleep aid. Combining those two ingredients with some other all-stars like melatonin and chamomile make this one of the best natural sleep supplements on the market.
Driftoff doesn't just try to get you sleepy. It tackles some of the reasons you may be having trouble falling asleep in the first place.
Anxiety plays a big part to those that have trouble sleeping. Driftoff will help in setting your mind at ease.
Staying asleep is also an issue for many. One of the things you will notice when taking these caps is that you not only get to sleep quickly, but you will stay asleep through the night. In the instances when you do wake up during the night, you will not stay awake long.
Besides the obvious benefit of helping you sleep, you also won't develop a dependency on any of the ingredients. They are also vegan and gluten free so you can enjoy your sleep without breaking any dietary restrictions.
Get to sleep and stay asleep. These pills don't just make you sleepy, they help readjust your sleep cycle and get your body and mind back on track.
Vimerson has hit upon a great combination of ingredients to get you to sleep and to stay asleep.
Sometimes all you need to get a good rest is to fall asleep quickly. Which this supplement will do. What is also does is help reset your body's sleep cycle, so you can get a regular night's sleep again. When you have a recurring problem with getting to sleep and staying asleep you usually need more than just a supplement that will make you sleepy.
Calming your brain activity will reduce any anxiety you have and set yourself up to fall asleep. The melatonin, Valerian and, especially, the St John's Wort will help get that started. A 2mg dose of Melatonin is more than most supplements have.
St. John's Wort is a natural mood enhancer that has been used to treat mild depression. Lately, people with Seasonal Affective Disorder have been turning to the herb to get them through the winter.
All these things combined set your body up for relaxation, calmness and the right frame of mind to get sleep. Once you have used the supplement for a few days you will notice how deeply you sleep and how refreshed you feel when you wake in the morning.
You should only use this supplement when you feel you need a nudge towards sleep. If you use them everyday, you will build a resistance to them and they won't work as well as they should.
As an added bonus, these pills don't have that musty smell that many sleep aids have. Especially those with Valerian. Instead, the pills have a mild and floral scent that won't have you plugging your nose to swallow!
When a nudge isn't enough and you need to really get some rest, Cloud 9 will give you a good push!
This supplement works so well, that you would think it was a prescription. Not only is this over the counter, it's all natural and non habit forming. You won't get addicted to the pills, but you will get addicted to the rest you get!
You get a good amount of each of the ingredients for that extra strength you need when you are really craving a deep, restful sleep. And the combination of some of the herbs working together create a formula that works very well. Case in point, the addition of the hops with the presence of Valerian. Valerian on its own works wonders for relaxing the mind. With the hops, it becomes a potent sleep aid.
About 20-30 minutes after taking these pills, you will start to feel a calm drowsiness and then drift off to sleep. Rather than an overpowering sleepiness that comes when you take a prescription.
You will stay asleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed since there are no harmful chemicals.
Look no further than the East when you want good herbal sleep supplements. The Chinese have known for millennia what combinations of herbs and natural ingredients will aid you in your quest for sleep.
Astragalus has been used for centuries against stress. That's what keeps most people awake and disrupts sleep cycles.
Even if your problem with getting rest isn't cause by stress, Astragalus will still help put you in the right frame of mind to get some restful sleep.
What separates this from many supplements isn't just the proprietary blend of herbs, it's the addition of calcium, potassium and magnesium which together help the body absorb the compounds from the herbs.
During the winter one of the biggest reasons for sleep loss is the fact that we are often sick.
Take a whole body approach to your sleep by taking these supplements. Astragalus also strengthens your immune system so you can resist catching colds.
Bai Zhu is also present to help relieve indigestion, poor appetite, gastro and abdominal distention. Bai Zhu restores the spleen and thus reduces fatigue. You may not have thought that your spleen could be the reason for your lack of sleep. But, when you start seeing the rest you have been looking for, you will believe that the Chinese have been onto something with their approach.
Not all supplements are horrible tasting pills! Drinking a tasty citrus drink before bed is much more appealing to some than popping some pills.
The act of sipping a hot drink is in itself very relaxing. It helps you put your mind into a relaxed state as it is. As a bonus, then this drink mix contains all the essential ingredients to finish the job and send you off to a deep, restful sleep.
The main ingredient is melatonin. Combined with the Advanced Sleep Blend, it will put you into a slumber and keep you asleep.
Some people say that they wake up a little groggy from this supplement but others feel refreshed. It seems to be dependant on the person and how deeply it will make you sleep.
The Swiss aren't just great engineers. They are also very in tune with nature. This tea is proof that they still understand the old ways.
Everybody will tell you to drink chamomile tea when you need some sleep. It is effective and tastes great. For those looking for something different, yet still effective, I recommend this wonderful sleep supplement tea.
Once you open the tea packet the aroma hits you and you just know it is going to taste great. The peppermint leaves give this tea a zippy flavor and immediately sets your mind to cruise control. It gently relaxes you and tastes delicious.
Add a little bit of honey and you have an all natural remedy that has been passed down through the ages. Father Künzle is famous all over Central Europe for using time honored natural remedies for many cures.
This blend will melt away your stress and get your ready for a gentle, yet deep, sleep. When you wake up refreshed, you will take comfort in knowing that only the best natural ingredients helped to get you the rest you deserved.
Of course a chamomile based tea had to make the list!
This mix of chamomile, peppermint and cardamom is something really satisfying in it's unique flavor. It does have a slightly spicy quality to it along with the floral chamomile. Drinking this just before bed is not only effective for getting some rest, it's also a very delicious and peaceful way to end your day.
Eastern medicine for a long time has been healing the whole body to help you realign your body and mind. This blend will help you get to sleep and it also helps your digestion, boosts metabolism and increases your energy level. When you are feeling rejuvenated, you sleep better.
It isn't always just about getting drowsy so you fall asleep quicker. It also helps to get your mind and body right and just feel good in general. When you make drinking this tea part of your routine you are taking care of your body as well.
Many people associate prescription sleep drugs and even over the counter medications with their potential side effects. The most obvious negative side effect of the risk of addiction to these drugs.
Even non addictive sleeping pills can have other non threatening, yet still, negative side effects.
When taking sleeping pills, many patients have reported:
Finding a natural alternative to these drugs can be helpful in avoiding any potential damaging effects. Getting good sleep is important, but not at the risk of causing other problems.
Many of the sleep supplements on the market are derived from herbs, roots and flowers. Many of them have been used for thousands of years for their medicinal properties.
Valerian root and chamomile were being used by the ancients to treat stress and help people to sleep. No wonder then that these are still popular today.
Though there isn't any conclusive scientific proof that they will aid your sleep beyond the placebo effect, it's also true that there haven't been enough studies done. It may be just anecdotal evidence that suggests that these natural remedies work. But, taking into account that the evidence goes back thousands of years, I would say it's enough to suggest that there is some benefit to be had.
Since natural sleep aids are not regulated by the FDA, the market is flooded with claims of being the best natural sleep supplement. It's better to narrow it down to some that have some history of working very well.
Of course, your mileage may vary, but these popular supplements are popular for a reason. They work very well for a lot of people.
Melatonin is a hormone that is produced in the brain that controls your sleep cycles. As the levels of melatonin rise, you start to get sleepy. When you are having trouble falling asleep, a boost of melatonin could really be helpful.
Melatonin occurs naturally in some foods, so scientists have isolated it and can now put it in a supplement. Since it is something that naturally occurs in the body, it has a very good chance of working for you.
Possible side effects of melatonin:
For thousands of years Valerian root has been used as a sedative and to combat anxiety and depression. Some recent studies have suggested that the ancients were right to use it as it does seem to work for many people.
It not only helps people fall asleep, but it improves the overall quality of sleep. If you wake up often, then Valerian would be a good choice. When combined with hops (the ingredients found in beer) it makes for a portent cocktail that will really put you to sleep.
Possible side effects of Valerian:
I think by this point, everybody has gotten the advice to drink some chamomile tea before bed to fall asleep. For good reason. It simply works. It's another natural remedy made from herbs and flowers that has been around for thousands of years to help people get sleep and to calm an upset stomach. You can drink it as a tea, take a pill or even use an oil to add to food and drinks.
Possible side effects of chamomile:
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that helps the body make proteins and certain brain-signaling chemicals. One of those signals is to go to sleep. It is found in many foods, such as turkey (though in smaller amounts than previously believed).
Your body changes the protein into serotonin, which then puts your mind in a happy place. Serotonin is the precursor to melatonin which then puts you to sleep.
Possible side effects of l-tryptophan:
Theanine is an amino acid derivative found in green tea. It is known to trigger the release in the brain of gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. GABA activates the major calming neurotransmitters which can help you get to sleep faster.
Possible side effects of theanine:
All of these supplements are regarded as safe to use on their own. The side effects listed have been reported, but are not something that happens to large numbers of people. These supplements can react to drugs and medications that you may be taking. You should also avoid alcohol when taking these remedies. It goes without saying that you should always consult a physician before taking any of these supplements.
There are so many supplements out there to help aid you in getting some rest. I hope this review of some natural sleep aids helps you find the right one for you.
If you stick with some supplements that have a blend with the common ingredients mentioned earlier, then you are sure to find one that helps. You may need to try a few since everybody reacts differently. Some of the blends may or may not work for you.
Don't give up if you haven't found one to work yet. Since I focused on the best sleep supplements with ingredients that are proven to work in most people, it is just a matter of finding the one that your body and mind respond to.

The lowland Vale of Glamorgan -- the southernmost part of Wales -- is rather like South Pembrokeshire in that it does not have widespread deposits of till, either from the Irish Sea Glacier or from the glaciers which came down, several times, from the valleys of the South Wales Coalfield. Indeed, some authors have suggested that there are so few traces of glaciation that the Vale was unglaciated. But there are SOME glacial deposits, and SOME erratics, and geomorphologists do now accept that at least once the Irish Sea Glacier flowed across this area, travelling from west to east. One of the key indicators is an erratic of pyroxenic keratophyre from the New Inn (north of Haverfordwest) found at Cardiff. Other erratics have been found from Scotland and North Wales. Heavy minerals in the lower soil horizons, shell fragments in the till, and "Irish Sea pebbles" from Cardigan Bay and west Wales also show that the ice came from the west and extended some way to the east of Cardiff. This of course matches up with the evidence that ice crossed the Bristol Channel and extended eastwards as far as Bathampton near Bath -- and maybe even further.
The Storrie Collection
At Pencoed, near Bridgend, there are thick deposits of clay, sands and gravels and coarser deposits containing erratics. Some of the clays -- at Ewenny and elsewhere -- have been used in the local pottery industry. The deposits are spread across an area at least 10 km x 10 km. There are lake deposits and tills here -- and it's been known for more than a century that the erratic suite sampled by John Storrie contained at least eight different types of rock traced back to outcrops in west Pembrokeshire (Strahan and Cantrill, 1904). Some of the erratics appear to be in their "original" positions -- others appear to have come from the reworking of older glacial deposits. In a detailed reexamination of the erratic boulders from the Storrie Collection, Bevins and Donnelly (1992) described more than 20 which had come from the west, including ash flow tuff (Fishguard Volcanics?), basalt from the Skomer Volcanics, rhyolite, Precambrian rhyolitic tuff, gabbro from near St David's Head, ignimbrite from Skomer, volcanic debris flow deposit from Ramsey Island, various sandstones and siltstones from South and West Wales, Carboniferous Limestone, ORS sandstones etc. No less than 8 of the examined clasts had striations on them, confirming a glacial origin.
The interesting thing about this work by Bevins and Donnelly is that it shows a considerable mixing of erratics from the west and erratics from the north, which have come down from the valleys of the South Wales Coalfield. (This is important when we consider how the Altar Stone, thought to have come from the Senni Beds, might have found its way into a suite of erratics being transported by the Irish Sea Glacier.)
Even more interesting is the incorporation of erratic material from the Lake District or Snowdonia. And even more interesting still is the apparent exclusion -- in this area at the edge of the Vale of Glamorgan) -- of erratics from the eastern end of the Preseli upland ridge. The Pembrokeshire erratics here are all from western Pembrokeshire -- and this means that if we reconstruct a simple ice flow pattern, it comes out as suggested in a 1965 paper by CB Crampton:
In fact, since there are erratics in the collection which have apparently come from Skomer and Ramsey Islands, we could push the arrow ever further towards the west in Pembrokeshire.
So if this ice stream was entraining erratics from the eastern end of Mynydd Preseli at the same time, where are the spotted dolerite and rhyolite erratics which we all know and love? Was this part of the ice stream somehow "blocked off" by ice coming down from the uplands of Mid and South Wales?
I think the answer to this apparent dilemma is that there must have been many different episodes of erratic entrainment and ice flow in the West Wales - South Wales arena. This is what is coming out of the recent work on the Devensian British and Irish Ice Sheet -- asynchronous behaviour around the fringes, with one part advancing while another part is retreating, and with swings in ice movement directions too. As I have said before, individual erratics -- or even assemblages of erratics -- may well have followed zig-zag courses, over very long periods of time.
I'm sure that in this area of conflict between ice from the west and ice from the north, we are only just beginning to unravel the history of what happened maybe 450,000 years ago, given that most of the evidence has been obliterated by what happened in the Devensian......

English bicyclist killed by motorist dedicated life to others
David Williams packed his saddlebags, donned his helmet and set off last Friday from Los Angeles for a more than 4,000-mile cycling trip across the country to raise money for people living in poverty.
The 26-year-old from Fulham, an area of southwest London, intended to stop and camp in Santa Maria on the second day of his more than 50-day trip to New York.
But Williams was feeling good and was eager to reach San Francisco to meet his parents and celebrate his mother's birthday. So he pushed on toward Oceano with plans to camp there, his father, Bill Williams, said Thursday.
He never made it. Now, a white cross with David Williams' photo stapled to it marks the spot where he was struck by a 1999 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer after its driver apparently lost control of the vehicle on Halcyon Road near Oceano on Saturday evening.
The driver, 20-year-old Aaron Richard Ceja of Nipomo, is accused of drunken driving and causing the crash that killed Williams.
Ceja pleaded not guilty Wednesday in San Luis Obispo Superior Court to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and drunken driving charges. He remained in custody at County Jail on Thursday with bail set at $100,000.
He is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday for a hearing in which he's expected to argue for bail reduction. Ceja has a pre-preliminary hearing set for July 11.
On Thursday, Williams' parents shared memories of their son in the hope of preventing others from drinking and driving.
Williams was about to enter his fourth year of medical school, worked on weekends and vacations for a center that cared for children with disabilities, and had recently started rowing with an eight-man team with Thames Rowing Club.
He started cycling for charities about six years ago and had ridden across Cambodia, Sri Lanka, India and from London across Europe to Istanbul. He previously rode for a children's charity, International Childcare Trust. His current ride would have raised money for Find Your Feet, an organization where his mother, Betty Williams, works.
"I'm proud of what he's done," Bill Williams said. "Although he's only 26, he's raised thousands of pounds and worked with children. But what he could have done "
Besides his parents, David Williams is survived by his 29-year-old sister, Laura. His parents will stay in the U.S. only until they can take their son's body home.
"We will never know how much drinking and driving has deprived us of," Bill Williams wrote in a note to The Tribune, "when will we ever learn?"

We all love deep conditioners, especially those of us who need to apologize for all of the abuse we heap on our poor little heads (flat irons, straighteners, chemical treatments, etc. – shame on us). Want a salon-quality deep conditioning treatment at home? Put your deep conditioner on your hair when it's dry.
Why? Because when your hair is wet it's already absorbed water, so it can only "drink" so much more product before it's "full". If you put the deep conditioner on your hair when it's dry, it takes in more of the product and you get maximum benefit. Throw it on dry hair, run some errands or take a spin class, then wash your hair as normal. Blow your hair out and the results will blow your mind.
I'm actually doing it as we speak. I'm using Redken Extreme Rescue Force ($12.75), which is amazing for my dry, unruly hair but it's actually amazing for all hair types that need a little extra lovin'.
Give this tip a shot. You can buy me a drink the next time you see me. I love lychee martinis. 🙂

It's now a few months into the era of legal cannabis in Canada. It's still too early in the game to see what some of the effects might be – including for employers concerned with both employee impairment and use of medical marijuana.
In the age of legalized cannabis, employers across the country are seeking to understand exactly how to react to this shift in culture. The effects of cannabis may vary from one person to the next, but one thing we know for sure is that safety sensitive occupations are at risk.
What challenges will the impending legalization bring for employers? With Senate approvals received for the government's Cannabis Act, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced in late June that Canadians will be able to consume recreational marijuana legally as of October 17.
With legalized recreational cannabis on the way in Canada, many employers are wondering how this will affect workplace drug policies. Employment lawyers have said that recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions on drug testing provide important guidance and can be used to inform their clients when they are developing policies.
In the second video of this series, labour and employer lawyers Lior Samfiru, partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, and Lorenzo Lisi, partner at Aird & Berlis LLP,
With the legalization of cannabis manufacturing, growing and processing operations by the Canadian government, licensed operators and workers in cannabis manufacturing operations will need to obey relevant health and safety laws to protect themselves from exposure hazards that could cause immediate and long-term health effects.
With the impending legalization of recreational marijuana in Canada and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, times are changing for Canadians.
Employers should take a proactive approach in dealing with this changing landscape and, to this end, we have outlined some key action items below.
Employers shouldn't let uncertainty around the legalization of marijuana stop them from crafting workplace policies about its use, according to employment lawyers. Earlier this year, the federal government tabled bill C-45, the Cannabis Act, in Parliament.

PEACH SPRINGS, Ariz. - Hualapai River Runners owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribe in northwest Arizona opened its 2010 season March 15 and will run until Oct. 31. The 2010 season marks the 37th anniversary of Hualapai River Runners, which is the only one-day whitewater raft trip though the Grand Canyon.
The Hualapai River Runner Guides trained for several weeks in preparation for the season opening. During the training they received intensive safety education, as well as studied the history of the area and the Hualapai Tribe, providing for informative narrations during the trip. Although Hualapai River Runners is owned by the Tribe and not regulated by Grand Canyon National Park, Hualapai River Runner guides undergo training as rigorous as other river guides who are regulated by the National Park.
The rafting trip departs daily from the Hualapai Lodge on Historic Route 66 in Peach Springs at 8 a.m. The guests are driven down the only road that leads to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, Diamond Creek Road (only accessible with a permit from the Hualapai Tribe). The rafts launch from the riverbanks on eight-passenger whitewater rafts specifically designed for traversing rapids of the Colorado River. The first set of rapids is just down stream from the launch point providing a taste for what lies ahead. The raft then docks along the riverbanks where guests can take a short hike up to one of the most beautiful, hidden treasures of the Grand Canyon, Travertine Falls. The rafts continue downstream until they stop at a sandbar for lunch right on the riverbanks.
A few rapids later the rafters reach the bottom of Grand Canyon West, where the take an exhilarating flight 4,000 feet up to the top of the canyon via helicopter. After the flight, guests are driven back to the Hualapai Lodge - back between 5 and 6 p.m. - where they can stay the night at the Lodge and enjoy the saltwater pool, Diamond Creek Restaurant, and Native American culture or continue on their journey.
Raft trips run seven days a week, but seats are limited so reservations are required. Guests can book their trip or get more information by calling Hualapai Tourism at 1-888-868-9378 or visiting www.hualapaitourism.com.

World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and professional wrestler Bill Goldberg were seen yesterday filming for The Grand Tour's 'Celebrity Face Off'. The new segment each week sees two celebrities who are connected in some unusual way pitted against each other to see who is fastest around the new track. This instalment answers the question we all want to know; which professional fighter is the fastest? British Heavyweight World Champion Anthony 'AJ' Joshua or American professional wrestler Bill 'Da Man' Goldberg?
Speaking about the lap, AJ said: "I really enjoyed my time out on the track, I pushed it as hard as I could and had a few big moments in the gravel. I would love to come back and have another go" and Bill added: "I am known for giving 110% in everything I do and breaking a few things along the way which I definitely lived up to on the track, with a few slips into the grass at top speed. As a car guy this is a dream come true and to meet Anthony and go against him was an honour."
Catch the fight of the century that you don't have to be ringside in The Grand Tour, only on Amazon Prime Video

Addendum to New England Home's "Notes from the Field"
Today's New England Home's Design Blog lists Cheryl Katz's 4 essentials for summer dinners: one, platters; two, one plate for the main course and one bowl; three, a fork, a spoon, a knife, and super-size napkins that double as dish towels; and, four, enough glasses that are interchangeable for water and wine "stem not necessary." Frankly, this list is far too obvious and basic.
You kind of have to agree with plates and basic cutlery items, if you're talking about eating like a civilized human being.
After having had numberous dinners at home and at friends places all season long, I'd like to add a few things to the list, which I agree with (you kind of have to agree with plates and basic cutlery items, if you're talking about eating like a civilized human being) except for the stem not being necessary.
Hairee's List of 4 More Essentials for Summer Dinners:
- Cheese cutting board. My friend and I eat a lot of cheese. Whenever we get together for a meal, there is always the perfunctory pre-meal cocktail or wine and cheese. J.K. Adams Round Artisan server is perfect for the job. Lay out three or four cheeses with crackers in a separate bowl or just have two cheeses with plenty of room left to fan out a selection of crackers.
- A pitcher for water. I've carefully selected the wine and even put together a fabulous cocktail for pre-dinner and wonder mid-meal why I'm so damn thirsty. This is when I suddenly realize that I haven't had a drop of water since dinner started 2 hours ago and all the alcohol I've been drinking is dehydrating me and everyone else at the table. Don't forget to keep a jug of water handy! My favorite is the Simon Pearce Stockbridge Pitcher. It's large but not hard to handle when it's full and simply designed to go with any table setting.
- Stemware. Frankly, my days of drinking wine out of plastic cups or coffee mugs when my friends come over for dinner are over. I drink my wine out of wine glasses now. The latest stemware to come to our store and onto my dinner table is the Schott Zwiesel Diva stemware. I love, love, love the subtle convex on the awesomely long stem. And the Schott Zwiesel Diva Wine/Water globlet, with its moderate bowl and chimney, does tripe duty as red, white wine, and water glass without losing any of the elegance furnished by its extraordinary stem. Bonus: Schott Zwiesel are made of their patented Tritan crystal that makes it shatter resistant, thus, dishwasher friendly, so important to summer entertaining that doesn't feel like drag afterwards.
- Salt and pepper cellars. Usually when I think of salt and pepper cellars, I think of super expensive restaurants, a bit stuffy, restrictive, the kind where you feel you have to whisper even to your dinner date because you're afraid even the waiters will judge your conversation as too inane for the fabulous church of their eatery. So why cellars? First because salt and pepper is the second last thing I remember to include at my table and then once I do it's served in the use-and-toss grinders that you can buy at Stop & Shop. The Iitalla Vitiriini small boxes are a fabulous alternative to the stuffy cellars.
We got this idea from Melania Rosado, National Sales Manager of Iittala, during her latest visit to Didriks. She showed us a picture on her smartphone of a table setting in the Iittala store using the boxes as salt and pepper cellars.
These boxes come in glass, wood/glass, and aluminum/glass and numerous eye-popping shades, each with it's own lid, making storage of leftover salt and pepper super easy. My choices are "clear" for salt and smoke colored "sand" for pepper. Maybe boring and predictable but makes for easy peasy ID.
Enjoy the rest of the summer by squeezing in at least a couple of more al fresco dinners. And remembering all the things I usually forget until the last minute!

FROM: 453 Executive Board
TO: Local 453 Members
DATE: December 7, 2017
SUBJECT: New Earned Sick Time (EST) Policy - Effective January 1, 2018
This memorandum is in response to General Manager Ramirez's implementation of a new EST
Policy for the MBTA that goes into effect on January 1, 2018.
Hopefully it will answer most of your questions and concerns about the new policy.
The good news is our Union's attorney has reviewed the policy and for the existing Local 453
members there are no adverse consequences regarding sick time, and in fact our Collective
Bargaining Agreement (CBA) supersedes any new policy. The attorney said, "I don't see anything
to cause concern because in some places, the CBA is better and in some places, the new policy
may provide some additional protections."
He goes on to say, "In short, the new EST policy was clearly developed so that the MBTA complied
with the provisions of the amendments to MGL c. 149, 148C and the regulations adopted for
compliance. Those amendments provided protections to all workers in Massachusetts and provided
paid sick leave and sick leave protections for those workers who may not have a CBA for
protection. The new amendments provide for a floor, not a ceiling. Where a CBA provides for
greater benefits, the CBA prevails."
The Local 453 CBA provides for the use of ten (10) sick days for family-related illness or injury
while the amendments provide for five (5) days. The CBA prevails in this instance. The Local 453
Contract also provides for SLP days and to the extent the amendments provide greater protection
for use of EST days, the amendments will prevail. The same goes for medical notification.
1. Question – Does this affect Local 453 members from being able to carry over more than
forty (40) earned sick days, and for those who have already accumulated a large number
of sick days – do they have to forfeit them?
Answer - The terms and conditions of the accrual and carry-over of the sick leave
provisions of Article VIII (E) (1)(b) cannot be changed by the issuance of a new MBTA
policy. Our current Contract provides for the accumulation of 1 and 1/4 sick days per
month for an annual accrual of fifteen (15) days. The Contract also provides for
unlimited accumulation of unused sick leave. As with any MBTA issued policy, the terms
and conditions of the CBA prevail over any conflicting policies regarding working
conditions that might be contained in a new policy.
2. Question - At retirement time, for those valuable sick days that were accumulated, can
the pre-determined amount we are allowed under either our Contract or the Pension
Contract still count toward our Pension?
Answer - Relative to the Pension "cash-out" of sick time for creditable service time at
retirement, this is likely a factor of the Pension Agreement and should not be affected by
this newly issued policy. The Pension Agreement also expires June 30, 2018 and only 589
can speak to what will come of those negotiations (of which the 453 Executive Board is in
contact with).
3. Question - What about the new people who have just started and may not be past their
120 days probationary period – what happens to them?
Answer - Again, the CBA is what controls the terms and conditions of our members.
Newly hired employees have all the rights and benefits of the CBA with the
exception of the right to challenge discharge for just cause until they reach 120 days and
get past their probationary period.
4. Question – The new policy states we do not earn sick time during vacation time.
Answer - The CBA expressly provides that employees using paid leave continue to
accrue sick leave.
5. Question - Our CBA is expiring 6/30/18 – what happens next?
Answer - The Contract stays in full force and effect past its expiration date during the
period of successor negotiations. This is spelled out in Article II of the CBA which
contains the "new" Evergreen Clause that we fought for so hard for two negotiations
Please feel free to contact any Executive Board member (see 453 website for contact
information) if you have additional questions.

Round Two of the Betfred Championship was played out over Saturday and Sunday with the Widnes Vikings travelling to Toulouse for the Saturday afternoon match. Sunday saw the Bulls at Swinton, the Centurions making the trip to Halifax, Featherstone hosting a local derby match with Batley, and the Eagles making the trip up to Cumbria to face Barrow.
Dewsbury and York had a meeting in West Yorkshire, while the Toronto Wolfpack were in Rochdale as the Lancastrian side got their season underway after last weeks postponement.
Once again there would be some close and exciting games.
Widnes did brilliantly to go to Toulouse and come home with the points, maintaining their one hundred percent record in their new division. Hood had given the visitors the lead but tries from Parata and Robin edged the home side ahead. The lead was five minutes long as Chapelhow scored for the Vikings to level the scores at 12-12. Robin got his second to put the French side back ahead but a try from Gelling, wich was unconverted, got Widnes within two at the interval. Widnes had a stunning second half with tries from Craven and Ince before Robin comnpleted his hat-trick for Toulouse. A second Gelling score two minutes from time sealed a 36-24 win for the Chemics.
It was a dramatic finale in Barrow as the Sheffield Eagles pinched the points to record their second win of the season. Puara put Barrow ahead but tries from Millar and Farrell edged them into a 10-6 interval lead. Amean grabbed a five minute brace for a 16-10 lead before Millar and Thackeray made it 22-16. A sixty-ninth minute Johnson try was converted by Dallimore to leve the scores but when Sheffield were awarded a penalty as the final hooter sounded, Walker kicked the goal for a two point win.
Halifax dug deep to take the points off the Leigh Centurions with a 33-26 win. Moore and Thornley exchanged early tries before Pownall and Tyrer did likewise for 12-12. A white try for 'Fax before the interval ensured that they took a slim lead into the interval. Two tries from Robinson and one from Barber in a devastating eight minute spell put Halifax 32-14 ahead but Leigh weren't throwing in the towel. Two tries from Adamson were punctuated by a White drop-goal for Halifax and the home side held on for the win.
Toronto took an early lead away at Rochdale through Russell, the first of four tries he'd score in the match, and when Mellor and O'Brien added four pointers it was already 16-0. Lawton got a converted try Rochdale on nineteen, their only score of the game, before Toronto got down to work. More tries from Lussick and Leutele put the visitors 26-6 ahead at the break. Russell scored three more second half tries and Stanley, Emmitt and Sidlow all crossed for four pointers as O'Brien slotted over a total of seven goals for a 58-6 final score to ensure that Toronto took top position in the early league table.
The Bradford Bulls made it two from two with a hard-fought win over the Swinton Lions at Heywood Road. Wildie put the Bulls ahead but they were rocked when Butt and Forsyth scored for Swinton to put the home side 10-6 ahead. A Hankinson penalty stretched the lead to 12-6 before a Ryan converted try sent the sides into the interval at 12-12. The second half was all Bradford as Hitchcox, Crossley and Evans crossed the whitewash, Chisolm kicked three conversions and Lilley slotted over a drop goal for good measure in a 31-12 win.
Featherstone Rovers put the Batley Bulldogs to the sword with a convincing 42-14 win. Boas opened the home account but Campbell responded for Batley. Jouffret put the Bulldogs ahead at 8-6 but tries from Teteh and King ensured that the home side were 16-8 ahead at the break. Rovers kicked loose in the second half with tries from Carey, Singleton, Day, Smith and Boas for a 42-8 lead before a last minute Yates consolation.
There was a battle royal at the Tetley Stadium as Dewsbury and York did battle. Two tries from Day for Dewsbury early on gave them a 14-0 lead at the interval but York found their A game in the second half with three tries in ten minutes from Horne, Robson and Jordan-Roberts for an 18-16 lead. A try from Garratt in the seventy-second minutes was converted by Sykes for a 22-18 Dewsbury lead but York weren't done. Porter went over for the City Knights three minutes from time and the conversion edged the visitors two ahead before a last minute penalty goal from Robinson sealed the win for the newly promoted side.

I was talking with someone from a group I belong to on Journalling. I have been doing this on and off for years. I think that I first started doing it on a more than simply casual basis back in the late 1980s, or early 1990s. Before I graduated from high school.
In the past I have mostly done stuff in a free-form format. That is I would just sit down and do it, and not really think all that much about what I really want to write about.
That worked well enough, though I am not sure it really "accomplished" anything. It may have been enough to allow me to actually find some expression.
It has been very difficult maintain lately. So here is where I am at right now.
- A format is a helpful way to look at your journalling.
- Be willing to change your format as you feel you need to.
- Writing about what is working is crucial.
- Looking at what is "not working" needs to be done through the lense of change.
- It is very helpful to review what you have written over the past little while.
So, what I think will work with these ideas.
Why use a format?
It seems that if you use no format (no matter how you look at the format) it can be very easy to get stuck in a rut where you are writing the same things over and over again.
The use of the format will allow you to look in terms of reminding yourself of what you want to focus on.
What should you think about for your format?
Probably the most important thing about your format, is that you be willing to change what your format is. That is, you have to be willing to say to yourself that if this doesn't work, I can change it.
Why I say this is probably the most important part of it is, probably at least two reasons really:
- It keeps you from getting stuck trying to figure out your format.
- It allows yourself to change it when you have found that you have changed.
- It allows you to admit, that you have found something that works better for you right now.
That would be the first most important issue, and why of it so far we have:
- You have to be willing to change your format.
That's great. Now lets look about the other things about the format you choose for yourself. The next most important thing I think is to put right into your format, is to make sure you write about what is working for you. These can be little things or big things.
Writing about what is working for you is really very important. Some of us (myself included) are very prone to end up getting into cycles of self-despondency where we have a very hard time getting to actually looking at what is working. So let's look at that aspect now. Why is it important to do that?
- By writing about what is working, it helps break a cycle of self-despondency.
- Writing about what is working allows you to build a body of work for successes.
- Building on successes, and reducing despondency can lead to very major success in the long-term.
OK, now we have two key points, with 3 sub points which we are trying to remember about what to think about for the format.
- Be willing to change your format.
- Keeps yourself from getting stuck on what your format is.
- Allows you to change.
- Allows you to admit things have changed with what is working.
- Write about what is working.
- Breaks cycle of negative thinking.
- Builds a body of work of your successes.
- Building on success, and reducing negative thinking leads to greater success.
So now with those, let's see if there may be some other points to look at.
This might be more of an optional in whether or not you even want to look at this. A lot of people are quite happy with just leaving things where that is, and don't really look in terms of things that are not working. Or things that need to change or whatever. But the thing about looking at this, is we want to look at these things which you want to change, through the lense of actually making change.
If you look at things from the perspective of what is not working at all, looking at what can be changed is really important.
- By looking at how things with what is not working, with the idea of change will allow you to see how to make that better.
- Trying to find ways to improve your life, usually leads to an improvement in your life.
- Avoiding getting stuck on the negative is very helpful in getting change to happen.
There we have 3 major points, each with less major points added to them. So, the list now looks like:
- Be Willing to change the format.
- Keeps you from getting stuck on what the format is.
- Allows you to change.
- Allows you to admit to changes of what works for you.
- Write about what is working.
- Breaks the cycle of negative thinking.
- Builds memories of successes.
- Building success, and reducing the negative leads to bigger successes.
- When looking at what doesn't work, look at what can change.
- Looking at what can change, allows you to start to make changes.
- Finding ways to improve your life, allows you to make those changes.
- Avoiding getting stuck on what is not working, keeps you looking in terms of growth.
Review was the other aspect that I was thinking is very helpful.
If we don't look at what we have been doing, and how it is working can allow us to actually keep doing things that we have been doing because we are in the mistaken idea that it is "helping" when it really isn't. It also allows us to build on the other three aspects.
So why do we need to look at reviewing what we have been doing with our journalling?
- Review allows you to see where you might be getting stuck.
- Review lets you know where there is room for even more growth.
- Review can allow you to be more honest with yourself.
While this is greatly simplified. We now have 4 major points. And each has 3 minor points on it:
- Be willing to change the format.
- Keeps you from getting stuck on what the format is.
- Accommodates your ability to change.
- Admits that what works, will change.
- Write about what is working.
- Breaks cycle of negative thinking.
- Builds a body of memories of successes.
- By building successes, and reducing negativity, this leads to more success.
- When you look at what isn't working, look at what can change.
- Change is a constant. Being conscious allows you to make those changes yourself.
- Finding ways to improve your life, allows you to make changes.
- Avoiding getting stuck on what is not working, keeps you looking at growth.
- Review what you have been working on.
- Review allows you to see where you might be getting stuck.
- Review can allow you to see where there may be areas of more growth available.
- Review can allow you to be more honest with yourself.
I will stick with that about the "principles thing".
What sort of format will I be using?
I am kind of looking at this in terms of what was presented by this friend of mine. This is probably the best way I can understand what he was talking about in terms of the format:
- Successes
- Thoughts and Feelings
- Goals
- Short term
- Medium term
- Long term
- Actions
- Break down into steps
- Review (may not happen every time)
- Format?
- Successes
- Thoughts and Feelings (changes)
- Goals (changes?)
- Actions taken?
I think for now, I am going to leave this post here for now. I will want to look back at what I wrote here, or at least this topic again before too long.

Both are sort of Auto industry icons. One was uniquely American who, in the latter half of his life was Vice Chairman at GM and had a hand in many performance toys coming to market. The other, a grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and worked his way up through the ranks of VAG and influenced the development and engineering of some of VW's most over engineered and complex cars to come from them in years.
But were they successful in what they had their hands in? And can their influences still be seen or felt in their respective companies today? Lets look at what they had their hands in.
Lutz begin his automotive career after leaving the marines. He started at GM Europe. From there he went to BMW where he was a sales executive for 3 years. Apparently he hand in developing the 3 Series and creating M. From there he became an executive VP at Ford and going over to be in Ford of Europe. While there he had a hand in creating the Escort III and the Sierra. When he came back to the us, he initiated the development of what would become the first gen Explorer.
After leaving Ford he went over to Chrysler, where famously he had a hand in developing the original Viper and the industry changing LH cars. But he left Chrysler in 98' right when the merger was happening.
Lutz became Chariman of GM North America in 01'. He would eventually stay until his retirement in 09. One thing I do give him is that he did push fun and performance on all of GM during his stint. But all but a few of what are said to be his initiatives are still around today. While at GM he had a hand in some modes such as:
- He pushed for the import of the Holden Monaro for the GTO (we know how that went).
- Bring the fantastic Cadillac Sixteen concept car to us that sadly never brought anything to fruition.
- The Kappa twins (Sky,Solstice)
- The failed Pontiac G8
- The revamped 08' Chevy Malibu which he touted as being competitive with the Japanese.
- The game changing first gen CTS (which has had sales go down pretty much every year since 2007)
- The Buick Enclave
- The above pictured Cadillac Converj which became the failed ELR
- The Camaro Concept that lead to the successful 09 launch
- The Volt which was supposedly started to leapfrog Toyota's ev efforts
Was he successful? That depends on what you read and what models you look at. He liked his toys, just look at the SSR. And some models that he had good intentions in starting, fell flat like the GTO or ELR or still continue to do so like the CTS. Sadly though GM couldn't escape the BK or the quality problems, even with some of the impressive models that he had a hand in.
Ferdinand Piech, grandson of Ferdinand Porsche was the top dog CEO at VW from 1993-2015. Before that, he headed Audi which he has been given credit for making the brand a rival to Mercedes and BMW. An engineer by trade, he was responsible for VW making moves upward in the early 00's with cars like the Phaeton and Touraeg, which were almost Audi like in their engineering.
He oversaw the purchase of Lamborghini and Bentley into the fold, and also brought back Bugatti and the eventual creation of the Veyron. His brand building with the acquisition of Lambo and Bentley gave VW a luxury group similar to Ford's failed PAG group.
Was he successful? Again, depends on your research and what you look at. He was known as a hard ass management wise, with being quoted as saying he fires any subordinate who "makes the same mistake twice. Keep in mind that this very management style is what got him ousted from the board after him and his wife tried to get Martin Winterkorn out.
Automotive wise, he was known for his high levels of engineering requirements like the Phaeton having to "sustain 186 mph all day, in 122-degree weather, with an interior temperature of 72 degrees". Why though? Just because I guess. Him looking over the shoulders of the Veyron, which Wendelin Wiedeking called a vanity project (along with a few other of Piech's) shows how committed he was to pretty much perfect. His craziness can be summed up well in this article.
I know I glossed over a lot of other thing, but both Lutz and Piech are similar to me in a lot of ways, but Piech seems almost an extreme version of Lutz in some ways, while Lutz has always had an enthusiast approach before all else. Which do you guys think was more successful with their products or having values that both their companies still practice today?

(that's Luke 7: 36-50, in case you were wondering)
36 And one of the Pharisees desired Him that He would eat with him. And He went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat, but this meat was of exceeding toughness and lacked flavour, so He speaketh unto the Pharisee, Let us away now to the house of mine friend Bobby Flay, who might prepareth for us a steak of great succulence, in My mercy.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the establishment of Flay, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at His feet behind him weeping, and began to wash His feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed His feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner and evidently a moocher also too.
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he giveth funds unto a legislator to write a new law to prevent these and similar moochers from making declaration of bankruptcy unto the Lord. And forthwith he didst package the debts of the two moochers into a credit default swap, which he sold unto his friends by convincing them that this was an investment of exceeding quality, and thus he collected substantial talents from his friends when the moochers failed to pay. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he maketh the most generous arrangements as unto interest rates and payment schedules. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Wherefore the woman did ask unto Him if she might partake of a crust of bread from His table, and He summoned the manager to removeth her from the premises.
48 And He said unto her, Thou cannot makest a stable living weeping on strange men's feet and rubbing thine hair upon them. Seek ye to borrow money from thy parents, perforce to open a business that might cater to those who wish to pay for others to cry upon their various appendages and brush hair unto them.
49 And they that sat at meat with Him began to say within themselves, Who is this that dispenseth such sound financial advice?
50 And He said to the woman, I jest not with thee; leavest thine costly ointment as payment for mine advice and begone, for we are trying to eat.

Winthrop University
Winthrop tops UNCA in five
Winthrop needed five sets to beat UNC Asheville, but got it done for its second straight win. The Eagles won the match 25-22, 25-27, 25-18, 23-25, 15-11 to improve to 2-1 in the Big South Conference and 5-10 overall.
UNC Asheville (8-7, 0-2 BSC) came in determined not to let Winthrop senior middle hitter Shannon Sitzmann beat it. The Bulldogs repeatedly doubled up the defense when Sitzmann got a touch.
"Sure, it is frustrating, but more of a motivation," Sitzmann said of the job UNC Asheville did on her defensively. She has seen it all in her time at Winthrop.
"I didn't have a very good game, but my teammates were there all day to pick me up. It definitely feels good to win two straight. It gives us more confidence," Sitzmann said.
UNC Asheville's defense closed the door on Sitzmann, holding her to 10 kills and a .000 hitting percentage. But she nearly closed out the Bulldogs in the fifth set with six straight points, giving Winthrop a 14-8 lead.
Winthrop coach Sally Polhamus said teams will often key on one player. Against Winthrop, it is usually Sitzmann.
The double-team on Sitzmann opened the door for junior Kelley Taylor and sophomore Kaley Viola. Taylor finished with 24 kills, two off her career high, and hit .340.
Viola did set a career high with 23 kills while hitting .365. Paired with her 11 digs, she now has back-to-back double-doubles and four on the year.
"Sweet," was all Viola could say after the match when she learned her kill total. She said Winthrop recognized that the Bulldogs were going to double up on Sitzmann, and they were staying with it.
The Eagles played a brutal early season schedule against some nationally ranked opponents. Polhamus put the schedule together in hopes of preparing her team for Big South play.
Conference play began Sept. 27 at Gardner-Webb. The Eagles lost the match, their first-ever to the Bulldogs.
Winthrop bounced back Friday with a BSC win at home against Presbyterian to snap an eight-game skid. Outside hitter Kellie Sellers left the match with a knee problem. She was unavailable against UNC Asheville and will see a doctor Monday to evaluate the severity of the injury.
"We are getting there as a team. This is why we played such a tough schedule early, to get us ready for conference. It is starting to pay off now," Polhamus said. "With our youth, we are still having trouble putting sets away. We had great fans and support this weekend. That helps, especially in a five-set match."
Chrissy Albers, playing extensively for the first time as a setter at Winthrop, gave Taylor and Viola great chances all day. Libero Janice Rivera led the Eagles with 26 digs.
In the first set, Winthrop was slow getting started. UNC Asheville jumped out to a 6-1 lead. Sitzmann and Taylor keyed the comeback with eight combined kills.
Sitzmann and Lauren Huber teamed up to block a Bulldog attack to give Winthrop a 23-22 edge. Taylor put the game away with her fourth and fifth kills of the set.
Asheville came back from a 17-14 deficit in the second set behind outside hitter Kelsey Benorden. In the process, the Bulldogs lost middle hitter Lauren Ficker when she crashed into the right post, wrenching her right knee, following a kill.
"She's probably out for the season," UNC Asheville coach Julie Torbett said.
Benorden led all players with 26 kills in the match.
Winthrop plays Coastal Carolina at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in Conway.
