Bottom line, I don't know if you really need to "learn" how to strip a car but it sure is fun to watch. Especially from the clean comfort of your computer.

Finally, the suspension subframes—the whole point of this exercise—were out. Here's the front.
Here are some video excerpts from the stripping process, including several time-lapse videos. Coming tomorrow: part three, how we turned all this stuff into cash.
Fix is even ambitious and neighborly enough to make sure the stripped carcass is removed in a timely manner, which I would totally never do.
The first step: We removed the hood and yanked out all the possibly salable door hardware, including handles, lock mechanisms, and window regulators, before removing the doors.
To get an idea of what parts might be worth selling, I spent a few hours doing painstaking "Completed Items" searches on eBay. I searched for used items in the Car Parts & Accessories section, using "SC400," "SC300," and "Toyota Soarer" as keywords, then sorting the results by price (high to low).
If a part appeared to have a decent history of selling (at least a couple of sales during the past few months), wasn't too much of a pain to ship, and had sold for a good enough price to be worth the hassle of removing it from the car, I added it to this list.
I kept the list handy while yanking parts over the following few days.
I dove into the interior in a search for intact bits, but it was at here that we realized the extent of the air-freshener contamination. These Febreze clip-on air fresheners were scattered everywhere, like cluster bombs in the Kuwaiti desert after the Gulf War.
The final couple of owners of a once-prestigious car typically feel compelled to obliterate any odor that doesn't smell like luxury. Every HVAC vent in the car had at least one of these horrible clip-on fresheners.
I also found a couple of liquid-dispenser types under the seats. Even after a half-dozen washings, my coveralls still smell like the Bed, Bath & Beyond in hell.
We extracted nearly 5 gallons of decent gas from the tank, plus another gallon or so of usable windshield-washer fluid. This stuff went right into our daily drivers.
Here's the car's last moment as a complete vehicle, hood propped open with the 2 x 4 we found in the trunk.
To make engine removal simpler, a bit of Sawzall work increased body clearance.
Chris Fix is one of my favorite automotive instructable YouTubers because he breaks pretty much every project into a concise, clearly illustrated tutorial for numbskulls like myself to play over and over while I'm trying to learn a new skill.
The unwanted crap began to pile up in the rear passenger area and in the trunk. Each seat weighed about 75 pounds before I removed the track and adjuster mechanisms. It's hard to believe this wreckage was once a super-prestigious sports coupe in Marin County.
Sure, you know how to unscrew a few bolts in your time. Maybe even been brave enough to hit a junk yard and harvest something off a dead car to put on your own. But what about dismantling an entire car in your driveway for fun and profit?
It didn't take me long to realize that most of the interior components were too flawed to sell. All but one of the seat belts were frayed and/or stained, nearly all the wood trim was trashed, mysterious better-left-unidentified fluids contaminated every crevice of the console, and cracks and gouges rendered most of the plastic interior trim pieces worthless.
Meanwhile, Rich was tearing away at the front of the car, being careful to keep valuable items such as the headlights and air cleaner intact. For three long, freezing days, the Lexus strip-a-thon went.
Each night I'd load the stuff that seemed to have potential value into the hatch of my Civic. The heap of SC400 parts in my garage got bigger as the SC400 in Rich's garage got smaller.
How To Strip A Car To Its Skeleton And Ditch It Before Mom Finds Out
We filled several coffee cans with excellent-quality Toyota fasteners, which we divvied up for our respective nuts-and-bolts collections. This stuff always comes in handy. Fuses and relays do too.
Because copper wire fetches decent money at the scrapper, we tore out all the wiring harnesses from the car's body—no small task, as Toyota used hold-downs, clamps, pass-throughs, and every imaginable anti-NVH device to keep harnesses in place.
I hacked and pried and slashed what must have been 30 pounds of wiring from the car. The engine harness had to be removed intact, however, because 1UZ swappers will pay good money for a complete engine harness.
This proved to be a several-hour job, thanks to the aforementioned Lexus quality overkill.
But you never know what gems you'll find in a clunker. For example, the factory Nakamichi subwoofer was in good shape. Finding it made me start to realize the massive quality overkill of this car. In most vehicles, even high-quality Japanese ones, speakers are held in with a quartet of flimsy sheet-metal screws.
In the SC400, the speakers are clamped down with 8-mm bolts and glued in place with some sort of tenacious anti-NVH substance.

A few days ago he explained how and why you should think about buying a "parts car" to take apart and salvage for valuable components. This time, watch him get into the strangely satisfying process of removing (almost) every bolt and piece of this Jaguar X-Type.
In part one of this series, Murilee Martin documented his find of a cheap, worn-out 1992 Lexus SC400, which he intended to tear down and sell many of the parts. In part two, he describes the lengths one goes to to strip down a 20-year-old luxury car, and the treasures one can find.
After getting the newly purchased Lexus SC400 to my accomplice Rich's garage, we thought about waiting for the weather to warm up a bit, because December in Denver isn't known for balmy, car-stripping temperatures.
So a couple of days after purchasing the SC400, we took it for its last drive around the block. The 266,000-mile 1UZ-FE engine was so tired that the car had a tough time breaking traction even on icy pavement.
Finally, after about 6 hours of painstaking work to spare the connectors on the engine wiring harness, the engine and transmission came out. The 1UZ-FE is actually quite compact for a DOHC V-8. We removed the throttle body, fuel injectors, exhaust manifolds, transmission bellhousing, and some other drivetrain goodies that I thought might sell.

WITHIN 10 minutes of stepping inside a bar called the Pussycat Lounge, just after midnight, I realized that I had packed the wrong clothes (khakis, a Clash band T-shirt) for the new Southwest. It was as if an assembly line of Armani designers were outfitting all the other men in some back room unavailable to me.
One guy, in a tuxedo, looked like George Clooney when he was Dr. Doug Ross on "E.R." I gawked. A blond surfer-boy-type in a white T-shirt, black jacket and very tight black pants looked like an actor on "Gossip Girl." I peered.
Not a soul, it seemed, was looking at me — including the bartenders who kept walking by my extended $20 bill.
I finally started waving the $20 like some overeager patron at a strip club. One of the bartenders stopped and stared.
I shouted over the sound system, "I'm underdressed, right?" After a second, he replied, "Well, are you staying nearby?"Continue reading the main story
Before experiencing the Pussycat Lounge during my first night in Scottsdale, Ariz., my assumptions about this city ran in the direction of golf courses, spa weekends, snowbirds and endless supplies of dry desert heat and tanned leather goods. Same name, different Scottsdale.
Unlike many cities that rebrand themselves as "new" in a tourism marketing campaign, yet in fact change very little, Scottsdale is rethinking itself in ways that are as apparent as they are ambitious, hoping to compete with Palm Springs, Las Vegas and even South Beach for party-seeking travelers.
A high-energy night-life scene, with celebrities descending on places like Suede, Axis/Radius and the Pussycat Lounge — all about a block apart — has taken root in the last few years, and freshly thought-out hotels like the Mondrian and the W Scottsdale are integrating desert-themed architecture with high-end pampering. Less obvious, but perhaps even more interesting, entrepreneurs are rethinking some of the city's old spaces and strip malls, turning them into small hubs of wine bars and lounges and restaurants and independently owned shops.
It came as a slight shock, for instance, to learn that one attractive new restaurant, the Mission — with enormous wax-dripping candles and vintage chandeliers, dark-wood paneling and oversize mirrors — was once a plumbing supply store.
"Our site's old owner built this whole area, when a dirt road served as the main drag, and cars used to pull up and park in the area that's our patio now," said Brian Raab, a partner in the Mission, which specializes in modern Latin cuisine (the skirt-steak tacos were delicious) and Southwest staples like guacamole with jalapeño. "For a while, this space was a hamburger place with no air-conditioning, grilling burgers three months out of the year when you could stand the heat."
A recession is a challenging time for a city to continue its reinvention, and indeed, there is already chatter that the W, which opened in September, may be on the ropes. (The hotel's corporate chiefs put out a statement recently to rebut the reports on the Internet that it was closing later this year.) But a distinct frontier mentality comes across in conversations with residents — even the model look-alikes who wait tables — about how Scottsdale is following the trail blazed by places like Las Vegas that turned empty desert into a destination because people acted on a vision.
Scottsdale, of course, isn't empty desert, and what already exists there isn't simply being bulldozed away. But cities can be rethought. There was an exhibit this winter at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art called "Flip a Strip," which rethought old strip malls not only in the Phoenix area but also across America and imagines a chic, modern reconception of the ways cities can be enjoyed.
"There was such a post-World War II growth explosion on all this open land, and we built all this stuff, and now we have it but it's not all working anymore," said Barbara Meyerson, the museum's interim director. "I think cities out West have been attracting people who say, 'Here's a pile of lemons, what can I make out of it?' The exhibit reflected a real transformative spirit in Scottsdale right now."
The museum has maintained an Internet site showcasing the "Flip a Strip" exhibit (www.flipastrip.org) because it proved so popular with visitors to the museum and its Web site, even though the exhibit itself closed in January.
"Let's face it, there are days when I would love to get pampered at a resort, but after a day or two that would get really old," Ms. Meyerson said. "What Scottsdale has figured out is that you can set up camp here and venture out all day in the desert and in town and all night at clubs and lounges, or you can just stay inside your camp and find all-purpose luxury."
Resorts like the Mondrian, the Hotel Valley Ho, the Camelback Inn and now the W have created a strong foundation for the new Scottsdale. The Mondrian is typical of this city's reinvention: it is set against a well-trafficked street, and there is a large parking lot before you reach the main doors, which does not provide much sense of tranquillity or luxury. But then the Mondrian bursts with vines and flowers in its effort to create a Garden of Eden feel, and the day bed mattresses along its two pools have a terrifically mellowing, sexy quality.
The hotel's nighttime lounges, Red Bar and Midnight Room (the latter is outdoors), were designed by someone who must have wanted every night to feel like Valentine's Day after dark. Sitting there, I felt as though love connections were happening in the nooks and private cabanas all around me.
"What makes a hotel special is its intimacy — intimacy is its own form of energy — and that's the sort of energy that we're really going for here," said David Morgan, the general manager of the Mondrian. "A lot of people look at Scottsdale and see resorts and golf, but what's starting to happen is they're seeing us as a modern, sophisticated destination, not just the tacky tourist shops."
The new W Scottsdale is testing the proposition that the city has become so fashionable that there is a market for more boutique hotels than just the Mondrian.
"The W likes to believe that they cater to the same market that we do, and we do split the same local demographic that's drawn to the night life that we both offer," said Mr. Morgan of the Mondrian. "That said, we offer something distinctive."
To that end, representatives of the Mondrian eagerly provided a list of more than 100 celebrities who have visited the hotel and lounges: from Beyoncé, Blake Lively and Bradley Cooper to Halle Berry, Paris Hilton, Spike Lee and several professional athletes.
The new W Scottsdale is also proudly describing itself as a celebrity magnet. While the W Scottsdale opened in September with built-in brand loyalty among travelers through the Starwood Points program of its corporate parent, it is also more than a 20-minute drive east from downtown Phoenix and about 15 minutes north of Arizona State University, making it a little isolated for many of its regular customers.
Scottsdale is still evolving as a tourist destination. Since the W opened, some weekends have sold out and about 2,000 people hit its recent Masquerade Ball, members of the management team said. But other weeks have been much slower, which have led to reports on HotelChatter.com — strongly denied by Leon Young, the general manager of the W Scottsdale — that the hotel was in trouble.
To be sure, it would also be surprising for Starwood to let a major new property in a high-profile destination shutter so soon. And the W's staff sees a major target of opportunity in Scottsdale.
The hotel is a gem, too, featuring a pool with glass holes on the bottom that allow views from the lobby below. The rooms have beds placed in the center and flat-screen TVs, DVD players, stereos and other creature comforts set around them.
"I think it's a younger demographic looking for a less chaotic Vegas, a less stereotypical West Coast experience, but want to feel the hipness," Mr. Young said. "And we have the great opportunity of being the new kid, and everyone wants to experience us."
That moxie is in plentiful supply in Scottsdale. The Museum of Contemporary Arts refreshes itself with new exhibits every few months; while the space itself is 10 years old, visitors recently were overheard remarking how there was something new every time they came. And it is a splendid museum: there is an "outdoor skyscape" area with graded grassy slopes and an O-shaped sitting area (called "Knight Rise") that is probably the most meditative space I've ever experienced on land.
On Thursdays and weekend nights, the sidewalks around Suede and the Pussycat Lounge have a pure Mardi Gras feel: not enough square footage per person to move comfortably. "We've got 50,000 students at Arizona State," said Chad Landau, a promoter for the Pussycat Lounge, "so that fuels the scene, and that energy draws people in their 30s, 40s, 50s — a chain reaction, right?"
Inside Axis-Radius, a dance club, the bodies seem even more packed. Suede is more casual, a shiny new wine bar where laughter competes with the sound system.
To paraphrase Mr. Young, Scottsdale does indeed seem like the new kid of the Southwest right now, and its pride in its own newfound modernity is inviting. Even if it's hard to get served at the bar wearing an '80s T-shirt.
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about a 20-minute drive from downtown Scottsdale; a one-way cab ride costs about $35. Continental, US Airways and Delta have nonstop flights out of the New York area, with round-trip fares in mid-April starting at about $250, found in a recent Internet search.
The Mondrian (7353 East Indian School Road; 480-308-1100; www.mondrianscottsdale.com) has double rooms for weekends in April from $195, according to the hotel's Web site.
The W Scottsdale (7277 East Camelback Road; 480-970-2100; www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels) has a Web rate of $239.20 for a double for a weekend in April.
Chaparral Suites Resort Scottsdale (5001 North Scottsdale Road; 480-949-1414; www.chaparralsuites.com) offers suites with breakfast and a fold-out sofa in the living room from $169.
The Mission (3815 North Brown Avenue; 480-636-5005; www.themissionaz.com) features modern Latin cuisine. Dinner for two, with drinks and tip, is roughly $120.
Los Olivos (7328 East Second Street; 480-946-2256; www.losolivosrestaurant.com) has solid Tex-Mex food and a lively central dining and bar area. Dinner and drinks for two, with tip, about $70.
Sushi Roku (at the W Scottsdale, 7277 East Camelback Road; 480-970-2121; www.sushiroku.com) has a diverse selection of sushi, sashimi, rolls and entrees like Chilean sea bass with truffle miso glaze, and an array of inventive cocktails. On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant is open until midnight. Figure $130 for dinner and drinks for two, with tip.
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (7374 East Second Street; 480-874-4666; www.smoca.org), is open every day but Monday. Admission is $7 and free for visitors under 15; free for all on Thursday.
Old Town Scottsdale is a bustling shopping area along North Brown Avenue between East Indian School Road and East Second Street, featuring clothing and leather-goods stores. A large farmers' market with homemade goods and fresh produce and foods is open Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot at the corner of North Brown Avenue and East First Street.
The Pussycat Lounge (4426 North Saddlebag Trail; 480-481-3100; www.pclaz.com), Axis/Radius (7340 East Indian Plaza; 480-970-1112; www.axis-radius.com), and Suede Restaurant and Lounge (7307 East Indian Plaza; 480-970-6969; www.suedeaz.com) are all near the W Scottsdale. Cover charges and dress codes vary.
An article on March 22 about Scottsdale, Ariz., misstated the name of a resort there. It is the Camelback Inn, not the Camelback Hotel and Spa.

Product Description
Robert Cunningham's arrival in Ireland four centuries ago occurred at a time of immense change on the island. The plantations, both official and unofficial, were transforming Ulster as thousands of settlers arrived in the province to begin a new life. A majority of them were from Scotland and the heaviest Scottish settlement in Ulster took place in north-east County Down on the estates of two enterprising and energetic Ayrshire men, Sir James Hamilton and Sir Hugh Montgomery. Cunningham was one of a number of ministers from Scotland who ministered to congregations within the bounds of these estates and played a formative role in the development of Presbyterianism in Ireland

Rock Paper Scissors It
Am I a simple man? That's a very difficult question to answer. I am easily amused, easily angered in certain situations, (and certain days) and easily distracted. Um, what was I talking about?
Does that make me a simple man? Sure, (I don't know). I like simple answers, I like to find simple solutions and I reveal in simple ideas. Having said that let me now make the most ridiculous statement I've ever made. Rock Paper Scissors could solve the entire world's conflict.
Not just solve international disputes, domestic as well. Why have I gone insane? Maybe and maybe it's because insanity is the only thing that can change the world. Just take a moment and look at the genius of Rock Paper Scissors:
- It's completely fair, balanced and equal, requiring almost no training/education
- Everyone has the same chance at winning, (except for people who are smarter than their opponent)
- It's near impossible to cheat, (successfully)
- There's no disputing, challenging, or confusion as to the result of the game
- It's dirt simple
Imagine you're watching COPS and the officer goes to the trailer park to find the drunken, rednecks going at each other. Instead of wasting time listening to them sludge through their alcohol soaked minds looking for a lie to tell, the officer just pulls up and says, "Rock Paper Scissors time. Whoever loses goes to jail." Boom, in and out, five minutes top. Just think of all good police officers could do for the community with that kind of time freed up.
Another example, a couple are in divorce court, she wants alimony, he doesn't want to pay, judge walks in says, "Rock Paper Scissors time. Winner decides." Boom, in and out, five minutes top. Just think of how much quicker the justice system would move. We could finally get back to managing the piles of frivolous lawsuits. Yippee!
The application is endless, bound only by our mental limitations. Whenever there is a disagreement, Rock Paper Scissors it. Can't decide or agree on something, don't fight, Rock Paper Scissors it.
One word of advice, if you choose to implement this in your home or with family/friends, establish the rules before doing so. The most common discord found in Rock Paper Scissors is the number of rounds to go before the final decision is rendered. The loser will always try to "up the count" for as long as it takes to win, "Best two out of three" "Best three out of five" "Best seven out of ten" etc. You know the type, grasping by the pathetic string that probably got them in the mess to begin with.
So let Rock Paper Scissors decide your fate, your life, your everything. Will I read this blog tomorrow? 1… 2… 3…
Egg On!

When we think of freelancers, we think of people who have taken the plunge and escaped the rat race.
They've gone rogue so that they can carry out their work in a way that suits them and isn't shackled down by so many company policies. However, freelancers and contractors aren't always as free as we might think that they are. In fact, most of their working life is ruled by paperwork and legal documents.
Are you thinking of packing it all in and becoming a freelancer? Make sure you have all of the following paperwork before you start working.
Business license
Before you can start trading and working as a freelancer or contractor, you need to get a business license or register as a freelancer. Before you become self-employed, you will need to choose whether to create your own little business or stay as a sole trader. If you go with the former, then you will need a business license. If you choose the latter then you will need to register as a sole trader. Either way, these are very important pieces of paperwork that you need to start trading.
Once you are working for yourself, you will need to take care of your own payroll and your taxes. Don't worry if you aren't a finance whizz, there are plenty of apps and software that can help you track all your finances. ThePayStubs offer tools that help you create your own paystubs for your payroll. Plus, you will find that there are now lots of accounting computer software for reasonable prices, which can help you do your taxes without paying an extortionate fee for an accountant.
Project contracts
Once you find a potential client, you need to write up a contract between the two of you. It's a good idea to create a template so that you always have a contract on hand whenever you need one. Some big companies and agencies might have their own that they get you to sign. It's crucial that you have a contract in place before you start working as this sets out the scope of the project and payment. This document will protect you if you ever need to take a client to court.
Ready to get paid? You need an invoice template so that you can fill one out for each client at the end of your projects. Your clients will only be able to pay you once they have received this document. Make sure that you mention your preferred payment terms so that you don't have to wait around too long for your money!
Confidentiality agreement
You might find that some clients want you to sign a confidentiality agreement (sometimes known as an NDA) before you get to work. This is just so they have peace of mind that you won't tell anyone else of their competitors what exactly you have been working on.
Once you have all of the above paperwork ready to go, you are good to start your new life as a freelancer!

Amazon Alexa – I assume you've all probably seen the commercials for it, if not here's a refresher.
Admittedly, it's a cool product. Basically, at the command of your voice you can get your virtual personal assistant to call you a Lyft, order drunk purchases on Amazon, or even play your favorite music.
Although, one toddler's request for a specific tune took a NSFW turn.
After requesting what I assume was, "Tigger Tigger" trying to hear a song from Pooh Bear's energetic friend, this young lad got a vulgar slew of pornography suggestions for, "hot chick amatuer girl porn sexy…cock pussy anal dildo ring."
Just think, 20 years ago we only had access to crusty old porno mags and now we robots just sharing porn with the whole family. What a time to be alive. .

I read somewhere that it takes just 21 days to change a habit, that's fantastic I thought. In just 3 weeks I can change a pattern of behaviour, learn a new habit, get rid of those horrible thoughts, and become a new person in no time at all.
Unfortunately whoever started this 'myth' was either being optimistic, encouraging you to at least try to start changing, misinterpreted the original information or was simply being disingenuous.
You cannot change a habit in 21 days, I am sorry, it doesn't quite work like that. There maybe a recent habit that you can change in 21 days, perhaps a word that you learned, a facial expression you started using, or maybe a physical 'tick' that just suddenly appeared. But not a lifetime habit, or one that is associated with evolution.
So how long does it take to change a habit? It depends. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to the brain. You are fighting a lifetime of learning, sometimes even generations of habit. Generally, it takes between 60 to 80 days to change a habit of a lifetime.
There are some important rules to follow when changing a habit;
- Stick to it - A new habit has to become a habit but will only become a habit if you do it habitually!
- Don't change it - If you continually play around with your new habit by altering the pattern it won't become a pattern.
- Habits need hard work - Don't give up just because it hasn't worked as fast as you had hoped it would.
- Small steps - If your habit is a big one, break it into small bits. Change a little at a time.
- Share your habit - If you have a close friend who is also changing a habit, work together to support each other.
Don't be disappointed if you can't change your habit, after all you are only human. Maybe you were meant to have that habit.

The premium asking prices on most houses are well beyond the ability of many individuals. As such, many homeowners only manage to pull off this feat by taking on large mortgages.
In most cases, these loans span over many years, making it essential to get the house from the get-go. Luckily, there are a few secrets to help you get the best bang for your bucks.
Consider your needs carefully
May people rush the process of buying a house only to find that it fails to address all their needs. If you're planning to start a family, be sure to consider essential amenities such as bathrooms and bedroom. Many parents admit to their homes being in complete chaos as their teenage children hog the bathrooms in the morning.
Considering your immediate and future needs helps you to avoid expensive home remodels. It saves you the pains of having to move houses and the hassle that accompany such a move. Besides the component of the home, you need to look at the neighbourhood. After all, you can move your house if you the area begins to decline.
Keep the running costs low
New homeowners are often in shock at how much money they have to part with each month in the form of amenity bills. From heating bills to routine maintenance, the figures tend to add up quickly. Coupled with high mortgage payments, such bills can put a considerable strain on your finances.
Luckily, making informed choices when building a home can help keep the maintenance tab low. For instance, use of burnt timber cladding gives your home a rare kerb appeal while eliminating the need of routine maintenance. Additionally, such claddings bear the added advantage of being fire retardant.
While owning a home remains a big win for many people, it often comes at a significant cost. Luckily, making the right choices from the onset can help you improve the home owning experience.

Duke and I are walking down the road. Birds chirping, sun shining. It's one of those great summer days. The distant wildfires have put a light haze in the air, so we're not doing heavy work today, just an easy ride. The traffic noise from the highway is behind us, cars whizzing by this quiet country road. One motor begins to stand out more than the others and is getting louder, but it must be an auditory illusion-- it can't be headed our way, it isn't slowing down. That's one of the big benefits of living in a rural community. Drivers are savvy and used to navigating around slow farming equipment, horseback riders, touring cyclists, wildlife. I turn to look. A pick-up truck is less than 10 feet away, speeding directly towards us, not braking, not swerving, not planning to miss us at all. No time to react, no time to move.
Then the sickening crunch of metal.
Being flung unwillingly through the air has a very specific feeling. Like a you're stuck inside a lurching brutal gyroscope, with flashes of light and color, but no image you can process. As much as I enjoy the physical sensation of speedy driving, fast elevators, and carnival rides, I've never enjoyed that uncontrolled-careening-through-space feeling. Probably because it never seems to end very well. The highway-speed head-on car crash with that guy trying to pass in the fog. The broken bones and ripped cartilage after the rude finale of my first night-skiing adventure. Biffing it behind a fast motor boat with a fat lip from the board strapped my feet. The jaw-jamming head plant in the Australian surf when I almost successfully rode the big wave in to shore. The time I mistook the concept of 2-point as being "to stay forward" going over our first jumps-- and then went *really* forward, right over Duke's shoulder when he had to collect for an extra stride. Careening through space. I don't like it.
Hard landing. I'm fetal and face down like a poorly organized Child's Pose executed with great force. Gritty surface beneath me. Darkness. Vibrating. As I come to my senses I realize three things:
- I'm alive.
- Duke can't possibly be.
- I appear to be in the back of a pick-up truck, still in motion.
I'm horror stricken, sobbing, then desperately searching the surroundings for Duke. Nothing. He's nowhere. He vanished. The truck stops. A bewildered face appears at the wheel well beside me. "I'm sorry. I didn't see you." As I'm trying to focus on the face and process how somebody doesn't see a 16-hand Bay gelding with rider in the middle of the lane on a arrow-straight road on a bright sunny day I spot Duke over the man's shoulder, no saddle, reins dragging, trotting across the field for home. He's a mirage. Blink. He's limping, but he's alive!
"My horse! I have to get my horse!" I crawl out of the truck bed and start sprinting across the field. I catch up to Duke just as he's entering the back gate, incredibly grateful we had spent all that time goofing off in the arena practicing having him resist his instincts to flee and stand quietly as I rushed at him. My trainer had assured me it would be useful someday, which at the time I thought was pretty unlikely. Just goes to show.
Duke's flesh is torn, bloody tire treads across his withers, road rash on every side, limping, muscles in spasm, cuts on his poll from bridle silver that had crushed and bent, and blood in his mouth. His breathing is shallow and rapid, but he's staying with me, walking slowly in circles. We trade his bloody bit for a halter.
My friend appears, and she's great in a crisis. A special kind of calm and steady that I think they must cultivate specially on remote Canadian ranches. "He's going into shock, let's keep him walking." "Do you want me to take him? No? O.K. I'll call the vet." "I have some medicine that will help him with the pain and the shock, do you want me to give it to him?" Question by question, point by point, help is called, decisions are made, tack recovered.
Duke and I are still walking slow big circles in a jittery adrenaline stoked stupor when the ambulance arrives. I don't want to leave him, but am eventually convinced to go to the hospital. We pass the pick-up on the way out and the front is crushed. By the time I make it back to the barn, the vet is finishing up. Vitals are strong, no internal injury, lots of scrapes and lumps, and his right hock is especially swollen and sore, possibly chipped, time will tell. We need to watch for respiratory issues and cut feed to half while his system normalizes, but overall, he's a walking miracle.
Piecing it all together later, I come to understand that while I had been thrown into the windshield,carved a path over the cab of the truck and fell into the bed, Duke had been struck squarely from behind, pushed down, and was fighting his way out from under the truck for 75 feet before he scrambled free. When I survey the scene that night before I go home, I find skid marks of made of hair, blood, and metal horseshoes that streak a long path down the pavement. I pick up handfuls of his tail hair and the saddle's broken cinch strap and shake my head. How?
Three days later, it's evening, and we're standing together looking out across the pasture and down the road. Duke looks far away, and I wonder if he has the same nightmares and flashbacks. We're both stiff and sore, walking gingerly and missing some skin, but standing on our own six legs. The heat and inflammation have finally cooled for all but his swollen hock and Duke's eyes soften as I start lightly working on his strained muscles with my good hand, carefully navigating around the cuts and sores. Recovery is going to be a long process. We're already tired of the medication and cold-hosing and confinement. Areas of edema have drained to leave stiff leathery hide and muscles are tight like cords, with knots that will take time and work to loosen and forget. Luckily, that's what I trained for.
I shudder, thinking about how close we came to a sudden end, to losing each other. Gratitude for everything I have wells up, spilling down my face. Duke wraps his neck around my torso, and I hold his giant head in my arms, rubbing his forehead. We still have rides to ride and adventures to live.
So here we are. Cheating death.

The Theory of Skittles
This is a scholarship essay I wrote in high school. It may have grammatical and structural errors but it does a very good job of comparative analysis and has a very unique concept. Enjoy!
The Theory of Skittles
When you think about diversity you may not have known that it can be compared to Skittles. I know you are thinking, "What does candy have to do with diversity?" But stay with me. Now there are different types of Skittles such as Sour, Original, Tropical, and Wild Berry. These would represent the different ethnic groups such as Caucasians, Hispanics, African-Americans, and Asians. Now people have their favorite flavors; examples would be Orange , Grape, Kiwi Lime, or Melon Berry . These would represent individual people (moms, best friends, girl/boyfriends etc.) However, people love Skittles none the less, no matter what package they come from.
Diversity is what makes this country so wonderful. Our differences and learning to be accepting of people is very important to this nation and its success. No one should be forced into conformity. We can embrace our individuality and our differences. No one is telling us to like the same type of music or to act the same way. We don't even have to eat the same kind of Skittle.
People are so different from each other. None of us are the same. We should be comfortable with ourselves and accept each others differences. This is a true representation of what diversity is. Diversity gives us a chance to understand something from a different perspective other than our own. For example, if you are trying out a new recipe and it doesn't taste just like you want it to, your neighbor may know another way to make it. You are able to learn so much about a person's culture, morals, and ethics just by interacting with people outside of your normal circle.
Another reason why diversity is so important is because it helps us tear down the walls of stereotypes. Now diversity itself may not tear down the walls but our exposure to and tolerance of diversity will. A misconception one creates of a person will be changed when one learns about that person and get to know him or her. A perfect example would be from the movie "Finding Nemo." Everyone assumed Marlon, who was a clown fish, was supposed to be funny, but this assumption was proven to be false when Marlon attempted to tell a joke. The animated example shows how we don't get to know someone until we actually talk to that person. If you have never seen the movie then lets return to Skittles. If a woman who didn't know what Skittles were looked at a package of Skittles she might assume they were a type of hard candy. The woman doesn't like hard candy, but she decides to eat them anyway. She soon realizes that her assumption was wrong because the candy is actually a chewy soft candy. I bet any money that if this woman didn't try the Skittles she would have continued to dislike Skittles because of what they appeared to be.
Hopefully, by now the importance of diversity is understood. If not, here is another example. If one day a young man has a bag of Skittles and he opens that bag he should notice that one will rarely see a package that is overrun with just one flavor of Skittles. This is because the manufacturers try to maintain a balance in the variety of flavors. Not all Skittle lovers love just one flavor and the manufacturers try to please everyone. These people are very smart and we should follow their example, try to expand our knowledge of different cultures and backgrounds. This is all about the acceptance of differences.
So to wrap up my symbolic theory of Skittles I will say that diversity is a part of my life and it should be a part of everyone's lifestyle; however it may not be because not everyone likes Skittles or is familiar with them. Diversity is very important because it is about accepting and respecting ethnic backgrounds, females, and other minorities in the American lifestyle.

"God set before me love"
Posted by
S.M. (Bod Alwyn)God set before me love
To draw my soul to him,
But I was bound in Satan's chains
And revelled in my sin.
I saw the mercy seat,
Was taught the way to go;
I saw that Christ had died for sin,
But did not want to know.
I would not follow him,
I fought against his call,
But God would have me be his child,
Him be my All in All.
God set before me fear,
Darkness, despair and dread.
He drove me forth into the night
Where angels fear to tread.
As wreckage on the sea
Before God's storm I fled,
Exhausted, scourged and fearing still,
To where my Saviour bled.
While still his enemy
He suffered for my sin.
As clouds across a storm-swept sky
God sped my soul to him.
Still understanding not
I wept and feared until
At the bright throne of God I found
Grace, love, and mercy still.

I had a blast photographing Olivia's First birthday. This little German English Jersey girl was a true trooper. Not once did she cry or fuss when she was passed from one hand to another for 3 full hours.
Olivia's parents were the most humble with amazing family and friends. They made me feel right at home from the moment I walked it. The event was hosted at a penthouse in their Jersey City home. The View of the manhattan Skyline was just gorgeous and not to forget the delicious Filipino food and Pandan cake which I enjoyed every much. Thanks for having me. :)

Three years ago today, God in His providence, caused my path to intersect with a little guy named Handy. Handy was three years old at the time. I met many, many children at different orphanages that day, but Handy was the one my heart could not forget.
Only God could have known what the future would hold. About six months later, God brought our lives back together. The circumstances surrounding our reunion can only be explained as God's enabling.
When we said goodbye that day in early 2014, we had no idea when . . . or even if . . .we would ever see each other again. But God knew!
In July 2014, our paths intersected again. And this time, Rick and I knew we had to do something. We weren't sure what something was, but we knew we had a future with Handy.
When Haiti Awake was founded in October that year, the very first children's Bible school we did was with Handy and the other children at his home.
Since that first trip, every Haiti Awake team has held Bible schools with the children, and thanks to team members who came and got a vision for the future, we are now doing life with Handy and his friends. The children now have better living conditions and a constant food supply, and they are going to school.
One life encounter has turned into many friendships and lots of love for Handy.
This photo was taken in January of 2015 as we said goodbye after a week of Bible schools with the children. It was so hard to leave that day because, at that time, we had no communication between trips. This entire team felt so burdened for the children, but we still didn't know what the future would hold. But God knew.
Just over three months later, God provided a way for the children to move to their current home . . . which is roughly a mile away from our Haiti Awake home. He provided funds for monthly food. And He provided a vision of the future.
Just a month after that, God added Polo to our Haiti Awake staff . . . with his primary responsibility being the children.
And one month after that, God provided the finances for the children . . . Handy and all of his friends . . .to go to school for the first time.
Now goodbyes look like this. . . because goodbyes aren't goodbyes. They're "see you later"s. We know there will be another trip soon, and we know Polo, Hudson and Wesly will send plenty of photos in the meantime.

Same-sex marriage: Traditional values are no longer an exclusive club
Stephen H. Provost
Justice Antonin Scalia is right.
"One would think Freedom of Intimacy is abridged rather than expanded by marriage. Ask the nearest hippie," Scalia wrote in his dissent to Friday's announced 5-4 decision overturning same-sex marriage bans nationwide.
What Scalia did was identify marriage as a conservative value. A family value. And he acknowledged that Friday's ruling gave same-sex couples the right to participate in that conservative institution. What self-described conservatives against same-sex marriage won't like about the court's latest ruling is that people they perceive as "the other" have been given the freedom Friday to become part of "their" tribe - as if marriage were somehow exclusively theirs. That's not conservatism, it's elitism.
Opponents of same-sex marriage don't tend to like the "hippies" Scalia ironically quoted as authoritative in this matter, viewing them as promiscuous, irresponsible, pot-smoking layabouts. That is, of course, a grossly unfair stereotype, but it's one that has persisted in right-wing circles for decades. And that's the point: Some self-described hippies don't smoke pot, some are extremely responsible and socially active, and some are just as committed to the idea of monogamy as those who are likely to vote for Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum or Mike Huckabee.
For decades, gays and lesbians were forced to undergo the indignity of whispered exchanges and secret rendezvous in bathhouses or highway rest stops. Like anyone else, they had a strong drive to experience sexual intimacy, but they were forced to pursue that intimacy in settings that encouraged "one-night stands" or what society would label "promiscuous behavior." Society at large came to view promiscuity as a natural part of the gay experience, when in fact it was just the opposite: Gay and lesbian individuals had to settle for such behavior because they couldn't speak openly, court openly, develop long-term intimate partnerships openly. Sure, some enjoyed having multiple partners - just as some "straight" individuals do.
The point is that promiscuity wasn't some kind of "side effect" of being gay, it was a situation enforced upon the gay and lesbian community by a then-majority view of people who "didn't want to see that put in their face." Then, because same-sex partners went underground with their relationships - out of necessity - the members of that same majority mocked them: "See, we told you so! They're a bunch of promiscuous bed-hoppers." Talk about a no-win situation.
What the Supreme Court did Friday ended that. It validated that everyone in the United States has the right to embrace a conservative tradition, regardless of what the self-described conservative "elite" would prefer. Folks with similar views tried to keep African-Americans from eating at certain establishments - and thereby participating in another conservative institution: capitalism.
The opposition to gay marriage, like the opposition to racial equality, isn't about defending conservative principles, it's about keeping others from exercising those principles themselves. Justice Scalia's words Friday ripped the pretense off that motivation and exposed it for the world to see. He also exposed it as the constitutional affront such opposition embodies: a brazen reassertion of the long-discredited "separate but equal" doctrine.
Most courts across the country had already recognized this. Now, it's writ large for the nation to see in Scalia's own dissent.
Thank you, Mr. Scalia, for showing your true colors. And thank you, Justice Kennedy, for allowing the rest of us to show ours.
Sincerely, a monogamous, straight, white male ally

On The Fence About EVs? Hertz Will Rent Nissan LEAFs Starting in 2011
I've always thought a great initial market for EVs would be in rental car fleets. Although a large number of early adopters will take up the EV reigns next year, the rest of the planet is set to kind of just sit back and watch. Yet there are always the watchers that really want to try a new thing out, but don't want to fork over the cash until all the kinks are worked out.
In this vein, Hertz just announced that they will be including LEAFs in select rental fleets around the country starting next year. This makes Hertz the first rental car company in North America to commit to EVs. So for those of you fence sitters, or those of you that just want a novel experience, seems you'll have a chance to test it out without having to befriend a LEAF owner.
Wondering if you'll be in an area that offers LEAF rentals? Chances are good that they will closely line up with the initial markets in which the LEAF is available — such as California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Tennessee. But you can bet that Hertz will add more LEAFs to other areas as the national rollout continues through 2011 and into 2012.

Spessol'idea di disabilità è affiancata a quella di incapacità, diinadeguatezza, di menomazione o comunque di limite in senso assoluto.È solo attraverso il dialogo e la conoscenza reciproca che possiamorilevare il valore dell'altro.

Had to really bundle up yesterday morning (and will have to do so all this week) due to the wicked cold temperatures - you'd think I lived in Alaska or something. Yesterday morning it was minus twenty six with a wind chill of minus 39 degrees Celsius (that's -38.2 Fahrenheit for you Yanks). Exposed skin can freeze within a couple of minutes. My tongue was actually getting a little wind burned from the cold air I was breathing in; it felt all buzzy and numb. Yes, I am wearing a toque, or touque or tuque, under my helmet.
Still, it was better riding the bike than sitting in a car, in heavy traffic,
during a bus strike - suckas!

Scottish skate-punkers PMX have just announced that they are back in the studio at the moment and are working on an upcoming release titled Dark Days which will be launched sometime in 2015. They also posted a promotional video for the album, which you can view below.
This will serve as a follow-up to PMX's The Ballad of Tony Montana, which was released in May 2013 and tells the story of the main character from the movie Scarface, from his arrival in the U.S. to his shoot-out death. It should be interesting to see whether or not Dark Days reflects a similar theme.

Gov. LePage's ability to stand in the way of Medicaid expansion should have ended Nov. 7.
That's the day nearly 60 percent of Maine voters said clearly that the state should extend health insurance coverage to about 70,000 low-income residents.
The governor vetoed Medicaid expansion five times against the wishes of a bipartisan group of lawmakers making up a majority of the Legislature. He delivered countless campaign speeches, radio show appearances and weekly addresses against expansion, using scare tactics and talking points only remotely connected to the facts.
Yet still an overwhelming number of Mainers voted to provide health insurance to poor residents locked out of the health care system only by a glitch in the Affordable Care Act and the LePage administration's cruel eligibility guidelines.
When given the chance, Maine voted resoundingly against one of LePage's chief public policy positions, and it is now the governor's responsibility to make it work.
Given his history, though, it's no surprise that the governor once again is putting up roadblocks.
While he said recently that he was "looking forward to expanding Medicaid," or MaineCare, as it is known here, his actions tell a different story than those words do.
Immediately after the election, he issued a list of demands for funding expansion. On Monday, in advance of an Appropriations Committee meeting Wednesday on the issue, LePage reiterated those demands, which are so limiting that they can have only one purpose – to give legislators no way forward.
The governor says the legislative funding plan must not increase taxes, or use the rainy day fund or other one-time funding mechanisms. Lawmakers must fully fund home- and community-based services for elderly and disabled Mainers, too, and they can't make any reductions for others already receiving state-funded health benefits.
Amazingly, LePage said lawmakers also must consider that the state may owe more than $60 million following the federal decertification of Riverview Psychiatric Center, an appalling situation that exists only because of the continued and long-term mismanagement of that facility by his administration.
And, the governor said, the Legislature must fund expansion not at the level estimated by the nonpartisan Office of Fiscal Program and Review, but according to the higher, questionable figures cooked up by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, whose track record on accurate analysis is far from pristine.
That's a good argument for implementing expansion through the budget, a more deliberate process that would have been fine with a majority of legislators had LePage not stood in the way again and again.
In any case, the governor simply is not making a good-faith effort to carry out the will of the people. Instead, he is trying to sabotage it. After all, that's what he has done for the past four years, using specious arguments and power politics to uphold his five vetoes of the popular expansion bills.
But he couldn't fool Maine voters, who understand exactly what Medicaid expansion means: healthier outcomes and less suffering for tens of thousands of Mainers, not "adults who should be working," as LePage argues, but mostly working Mainers who earn too little to afford health coverage or doctor visits – less than $22,411 a year for a family of two.
Last month, Mainers made clear what they want. Now it is the governor's duty to make it happen.

A POEM by C.E. GALDI
I am warning the neighborhood
of a fire. we live in a painting so if someone
leaves the stove on, the entire canvas will burn us up.
it'll crumble and become a pile of ash, newly rent
into carbon, trembling still warm on the floor, a clue
for a lab chemist to pore over. I dream
and it's too real, I think a ghost is
holding me in my sleep, a ghost
with hair on his arms, a ghost with
hot breath. I think that I'm
haunted. my brain's firing on every
cylinder, conjuring up images so real I can
feel them touching my skin and mouth. their eyes
get so big they fill the entire room.
sometimes it does this to tease me,
gently offering some reprieve and then snatching it
away, leaving me hungry and empty, and I want
to go back to sleep, greedy for more, but when I do
the specter leaves, I dream of nothing, the canvas
is thick gray powder now.
C. E. Galdi is just like you. She lives and browses the internet in North Carolina. She has been previously published in UNCG's undergraduate publication The Coraddi, and is now an editor there. She reads your tweets as @cyclostome.

What to look for on Smart Talk Wednesday, April 27, 2016:
The long-awaited Pennsylvania Primary Election is now history and there weren't many surprises.
Franklin and Marshall College political analyst and pollster Dr. G. Terry Madonna appears on Smart Talk with analysis of the results and a look ahead to the November election.
Donald Trump was the choice of a sizable margin of Republican voters and the same can be said for Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side. With their victories in Pennsylvania and several other states Tuesday, the road to their parties' nominations seems more clear. So how does that race shape up?
Former DEP Secretary Katie McGinty rode a wave of last-minute momentum to victory in the Democratic U.S. Senate contest and will now face Republican incumbent Sen. Pat Toomey this fall.
Lloyd Smucker emerged as the winner in the 16th Congressional District and incumbent Republican Bill Shuster narrowly beat back a challenge in the 9th Congressional District.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has been in the news as much as anyone in the last two years and often not in a positive light. Republican John Rafferty and Democrat Josh Shapiro -- both from Montgomery County -- won their primaries yesterday and compete to succeed Kane.
Three area State Senate seats saw competition. Scott Martin defeated two other Republicans in Lancaster County's 13th District; Democratic incumbent Sen. Rob Teplitz goes against Republican John DiSanto this fall, and Mike Regan was the winner in the hotly contested 31st District in Cumberland and York Counties.

Gotta give props to the head honchos at QYK for pulling this off. I didn't think we'd top last year, but the third QYK Guitar Pull will be the biggest yet. Literally. Big and Rich, Jon Pardi, Joe Nichols, Chris Janson and Danielle Bradbery on one stage… at the same time? **** yeah!
Chris Janson is a personal favorite on this list. He played our Fun-N-Sun concert at Coachman Park in Clearwater 5 years ago. This was long before he could buy himself a boat or a truck to pull it. He only had one song on the charts at that point… "Better I Don't."
The guy was so humble. A lot of artists at festival shows like this when there are a bunch of artists on one bill end up hibernating in their trailer. They'll just come out for their performance and head right back to their trailer. Chris hung out and talked to everyone – whether they worked for the radio station or in catering. He handed out and signed a bunch of harmonicas.

#QYKGuitarPull artists get announced this morning. The one I'm most stoked for is this one. Long before he could buy himself a boat (or a truck to pull it), #ChrisJanson played our Fun n Sun concert in #Clearwater. A lot of times, artists stay in their trailer. Chris hung out with everyone, whether you worked for the radio station or catering. He handed out and signed a ton of these harmonicas. A few years and a bunch of big hits later, he's just as humble. . . . #buymeaboat #fixadrink #holdinher #betteridont #powerofpositivedrinkin #tampa #guitarpull #strazcenter #qyk #wqyk #995qyk
A few years and a bunch of hits later, he's still as humble as ever.
Grab tickets at 995QYK.com. They go on sale at 10am this morning. The QYK Guitar Pull sells out every year and even though it's at a bigger venue this year, it'll still sell out.
