Watts Illustration
Illustrator and Printmaker of Christian cards and prints inspired by nature, colour and Northern IrelandHello and thanks for visiting! I'm Rebecca (Becky), the creative behind Watts illustration, I don't have a fancy studio name as its just me sat at my desk printing, pressing, painting, drawing and generally illustrating!
Through my degree in Illustration I realised that I was so much more enthused to be creative when it was about something I am passionate about, which is ultimately Jesus, that he died for me and loves me and has power over every little thing. Therefore this passion became my illustrations, interpreting bible stories, being inspired by nature and working with words from the Bible. I can only hope that my work will inspire, teach or raise questions for others.
I live just outside Belfast in Northern Ireland with my husband, about 15 house plants and dreaming of having a dog!

Bahamas Aggressor
Kalahari Plains Camp is set in a remote part of the diverse and productive Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) and offers some of the best summer wildlife viewing opportunities in Africa. Located in the Kalahari Desert biome in the central part of Botswana, this reserve is the largest conservation area in the country and one of the largest in the world. Its star attractions include the legendary Kalahari black-maned lion as well as some of the world's best cheetah viewing.
Kalahari Plains Camp is perfectly situated overlooking an immense pan with endless horizons and beautiful skies. It comprises eight en-suite canvas units with a sleep-out above each from which to enjoy moonlit or star-studded nights. The main area consists of a lounge and dining area with a swimming pool and deck. Solar power provides all the electricity and hot water in the camp and insulated canvas walls and roof keep temperatures inside the units comfortable
Healthy wildlife populations are present in the area all year round, but with the advent of the summer rains, the desert comes to life. A plethora of plains game such as springbok and gemsbok converge in their hundreds to graze, followed by lion, one of the highest concentrations of cheetah in southern Africa and leopard. In winter, the Kalahari is a typical desert. General game is still easily seen, from the carnivores to wildebeest, red hartebeest and steenbok as well as small predators like black-backed jackal, Cape fox, honey badger and myriad mongoose species. Some 220 bird species have been recorded.
Game drives and walks unlock the fascinating wildlife and captivating culture of this area.
Twice daily game drives or full-day excursions take place in open 4x4 vehicles and directed towards the seasonal movements of the wildlife. As we are in a National Park, we adhere to the regulations of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks restricting off-road driving and night driving
Bushman Walk
An interpretive, guided "Bushman Walk" led by camp staff members who hail from the San Bushman clans of the area provides insights into their traditional lifestyles through dress, activities and a short walk (800 metres) in the immediate camp area.
Star bed
Sleep out under the starry starry skies of the Kalahari and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of Africa on the roof of your unit.
Star gazing
The Kalahari is famous for its clear night skies, and with no light pollution it is the ideal spot from which to view the incredible formations of the stars and planets. Our guides are also known to dabble with astronomy and will take you on a tour through the constellations.

Our company has been working with Lori King at Core Commercial Real Estate for over 15 years. She is tremendously trustworthy and professional and has an extensive knowledge of the Calgary commercial real estate landscape. We trust her to look out for our best interests. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect property.
Ron Daye, President
Storm Division Inc. and Storm Kiosks Inc.
We had no time to waste and were slightly stressed out trying to find space for our technology/marketing companies, when Jeff approached us.
We were very skeptical. However, very quickly, Jeff gained our trust. He listened carefully to our requirements.
I am reaching out to let you know how much we appreciated your services to Storm Division Inc./Storm Kiosks Inc. over our last three office leases. My business partner and I had initially engaged a real estate broker that didn't work out. Unfortunately, we had provided our requirements to that broker, and in the 3 months we worked with them, they could not find a suitable space. As you can imagine, this experience did not instill confidence in any broker being able to help us find space.
We had no time to waste and were slightly stressed out trying to find space for our technology/marketing companies, when Jeff approached us. We were very skeptical. However, very quickly, Jeff gained our trust. He listened carefully to our requirements. Within the same day of meeting Jeff, he found the perfect furnished place for our business.
As both of Storm's businesses have been constantly evolving and expanding, soon after we settled into our new space, we needed extra office space. And, most recently, we needed a specialty space. Looking for space X 3 times on our own is time consuming, and a daunting task.
And, frankly, leasing space wasn't our primary focus. Jeff assisted us at every step: for our initial space, then space expansion, and now to find specialty space. CORE ensured that the leasing process was easy and painless, so we could continue to focus on our expanding business. Jeff demonstrated a high level of professionalism, was very attentive, thorough and prompt. His customer service was top notch and he worked hard to ensure we received the best deal possible.
I highly recommend Jeff Thomson and CORE Commercial Real Estate. Thank you Jeff.
Nathan Mackenzie, Co-Founder & Director, Storm Division Inc./Storm Kiosks Inc.
Reality Engine Inc
Finding our office space was more than a transaction. We sincerely enjoyed working with the CORE team of Lori King and Jeff Thomson. CORE listened and demonstrated that they cared about us as clients.
From the first conversation with Lori who was very professional, articulate and purposeful to watching Jeff as a skilled negotiator, we managed to get a very good deal on our space. CORE listened to our corporate requirements and understood what would work for the landlord. This helped facilitate the best deal possible.
I would personally recommend the CORE team for commercial office space.
Bruce Symbalisty, Strategic Director, Reality Engine Inc
3P Learning Canada Limited
Recently, our business grew, and Calgary became the North American Centre of Excellence for our education business – Mathletics. We desperately needed more office space. Over the last 2 years, we added 20 more people! Our culture required a very collaborative work space. My team's happiness was paramount to the space we would select.
Lori listened carefully to what was important, and she observed our culture to really understand our needs.
Approximately 3 years ago, I worked with Jeff to renew our lease for our existing office space. While it might seem a "no-brainer" and an easy thing to do, it wasn't. The landlord updated the renewal lease and there were clauses from the original lease that were onerous. Upon review and guidance from Jeff, there were items that needed to reflect what our growing needs were, and clauses that we took out. We renewed for another 4 years with a better lease.
Recently, our business grew so much more, and Calgary became the North American Centre of Excellence for our education business – Mathletics. We desperately needed more office space. Over the last 2 years, we added 20 more people! Our culture required a very collaborative work space.
My team's happiness was paramount to the space we would select. We also required demo rooms to train many teachers on-line as we perfected our remote training model for schools and districts across North America. Being highly-cost sensitive coming from the education marketplace, we had a trailing lease obligation that had to be factored into a new lease too.
Moreover, another lease in another country had to be resolved prior to our search to begin. These requirements made it difficult to start looking and to find the perfect space. And, with one more complicating factor of a Global Head Office that was on the other side of the world. There were new requirements and misunderstandings popping up over the course of our search for new space that spanned 1 full year.
The CORE team patiently and politely assisted us over the course of our ever-changing requirements. Jeff's style was one of helping, and not just getting a 'deal' done. Lori listened carefully to what was important, and she observed our culture to really understand our needs. I had to have the 'perfect space' and there was a lot of pressure to get this right! The good news is that Lori was able to read between the lines of what we were saying, and was able to convert those requirements into our newly signed lease agreement.
We grew from 1742 sq. ft. to an amazing 6408 sq. ft. We are very happy with the outcome. We know that we had complex and ever-changing requirements. Ongoing and excellent communications were very important to us to lessen our stress and ensure our needs were being met. The 'extras' including 2 fridges and a dishwasher were built into the lease. An aggressive timeframe of completing a full demolition, design and rebuild of the space was facilitated by CORE to make our move easy. Our cost considerations were negotiated through CORE to the landlord. We got a deal that worked for our business.
I highly recommend the entire CORE Team when it comes to your office space needs. I would use their services again without hesitation."
Rene Burke, CEO, 3P Learning Canada Limited.
BitFury Technology Inc.
Gary McKelvie and Jeff Thomson were very confident they could find us a great space. They provided in-depth explanations of how the process would be conducted.
Each spot toured was a good alternative for our business needs. It was obvious that they listened to our requirements because the choices presented to me were great options.
We learned about CORE through word of mouth as they were known to be very helpful and knowledgeable.
I met with Gary McKelvie and Jeff Thomson. They both were very confident they could find us a great space, and they provided in-depth explanations of how the process would be conducted. Their knowledge of the Calgary market - and all the properties - was extremely helpful as they toured me through several alternatives for office space.
During the search for our ideal location, the CORE team was extremely prompt to respond to my emails (generally, my questions were sent in the morning and I received responses in the afternoon). Each spot toured was a good alternative for our business needs. It was obvious that they listened to our requirements because the choices presented to me were great options. CORE asked the landlords difficult questions on our behalf. If the answers did not suit our requirements and CORE was not confident we would be happy 'there', we quickly eliminated that option. We didn't waste any time on options that were not ideal.
As this was my first time looking for office space, the CORE team provided information and education that was relevant to assist me to make a great decision. We found our ideal office space and are happy with the negotiated terms. And, as we are very busy working on the business, Gary and Jeff took the stress out of finding properties to consider. They did their research, ensured the terms in our lease were acceptable and saved me considerable time. They even provided guidance on 'other' services that may be needed to make our office complete. Always helping me at each step of the way!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeff Thomson, Gary McKelvie and CORE Commercial Real Estate for any commercial real estate needs.
Lee-Anne Motsi, Financial Analyst, BitFury Technology Inc.
Senaltek Engineering Group Ltd.
Senaltek Engineering Group Ltd. worked with CORE Commercial Real Estate at the beginning of 2018 to find new office space.
Our requirements were to find great office space quickly with flexible lease terms and the ability to expand within the same building at a point in the future.
Before finding CORE, I was given many options for available office space through another leasing firm. Unfortunately, most of the options did not match my requirements, including size and budget. As a result, and because time was of the essence, my network recommended CORE Commercial Real Estate and Gary McKelvie to assist finding office space.
My requirements were very specific. I needed a location close to a sister-company, in a 'good' building and with room to increase my footprint within the foreseeable future. It didn't make any sense to immediately take on more space than what was required. No sense in incurring these costs until absolutely necessary! However, it was critical to have the option to gain more space as our company grows.
Sounds almost trite, however, Gary acted quickly. He gathered my requirements and in short order, provided a list of acceptable options to view. Gary's knowledge of the buildings, the occupancy rates and the building owners helped to secure good office space in short order.
I would like to thank Gary McKelvie and CORE Commercial Real Estate for making the process less stressful. The office space works for our needs and we can get on with building the business. I will continue to reach out to Gary for any questions for my existing office space, as well as lean on him as our business expands.
Mike Piper, President, Senaltek Engineering Group Ltd.

Our team of expert admissions consultants is second-to-none. Our consultants have interviewed and been accepted into some of the best dental schools in the United States. As a result, our team can offer first-hand knowledge of the process. We've seen what works and what doesn't. We will work with you one-on-one to optimize your application and make sure you stand out from the competition.
Dental admission is competitive. The U.S. only has 66 schools of dentistry in 36 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To make things even more competitive for applicants, several schools of dentistry give heavy preference to or only accept in-state applicants. In the 2016 application cycle, there were 12,100 applicants of which few matriculated to 66 dental schools in the United States. That's why it's important to put your best foot forward in your application. Unfortunately, when it comes to writing an application that will stand out, many applicants feel confused without guidance. Pre-dental advisors are often tack-ons to a University's pre-professional office and many of those advisors are specialized in areas outside of dentistry. That's where we come in.

Carol doesn't use the Internet for what some of the rest of us do. Ahem. She doesn't need her speed to be lightning fast. Can someone advise her on how to go about getting rid of Talk Talk with the least amount of hassle and back to the wonderful world of dial up?
You guys all seem so knowing about these things and I suppose my knowlege will improve as Talktalk continue to take my money by direct debit and I continue trying to establish the service I was promised . As one who was relatively happy with dial up provided by one tel ( now taken over by talk talk)my problem now is to get my e mail to work even talktalk cant establish why my pasword will not allow acces to e mail via outlook express.It has done intermittently after a struggle and normally when I hit the close button in discust.
My web access is instant no complaints there & never cut off.
Can anyone of you experts tell me how to revert to onetel using broadband do I just reload the original disc or will that muck up the whole system & if I do that will I then have to re start paying seperately to onetel. All i want is to continue to communicate the way I have become acustomed

Music is a valuable tool that shouldn't be ignored. Even for a complete beginner, it's a good way to get used to the sound of the language and practise the pronunciation. In fact, that's perhaps the easiest way to use native materials as a beginner - but be sure to listen to ordinary speech as well! However, even advanced learners can get a lot out of music.
See also: general ideas for improving your listening comprehension, the Music Challenge
Using the lyricsEdit
Nowadays it's very easy to find most lyrics online. There are also many online translations, though they are often inaccurate or poetic so don't be frustrated if something doesn't make sense. Ask a native speaker or just let it be; it's very likely that as you make progress you'll understand it better.
Be sure to vary your usage of the lyrics. At least with some songs, try not looking at the lyrics until you're absolutely certain you can't figure out more. You may also want to read the lyrics first, and then listen to the song without looking at them.
When you know the song well, you can use techniques like intensive reading or scriptorium to pay attention to all the details. You can also add some of the lines to your SRS. A song that you love enough to study it like that is an incredible resource, especially for beginners.
Different versionsEdit
Sometimes not understanding doesn't mean you're not trying hard enough. Perhaps the singer simply sang a specific part in a weird/unusual way or just unclearly. Native speakers frequently fill in these gaps by using the context and their knowledge of collocations. In this case, a different version of the song can help: look for live recordings on youtube, listen to an "unplugged" or cover version. Many classic hits have been performed by various artists, with completely different voices.
Lyricstraining siteEdit
Lyricstraining.com is a site where you can listen to songs while filling the gaps in the lyrics or typing the whole lyrics. It stops when you are having trouble and accepts only correct answers. Diacritics are not needed, and normally you also don't have to type the unclear lines sung or spoken in the background, as the parts in brackets don't count (see the screenshot below).
Languages - official and unofficialEditLyricstraining has a great selection of music, and it is a good way to start exploring music of your target language. The site currently supports songs in English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan, Turkish, Japanese (romaji), Finnish, Polish and Dutch. HTLAL member YnEoS has uploaded some songs in Hungarian and Russian; there is also at least one known song in Galician. (TBC)
- If you're aware of more songs in the languages that aren't officially supported, please add a link above and/or post about them on the forum.
- All "official" songs are marked as a particular variant of the language, using flags: for example, Portugal and Brazil for Portuguese; Spain, Mexico, Argentina and others for Spanish. This doesn't necessarily mean that the song contains regionalisms or non-standard pronunciation.
- The songs in Cyrillics only work in the karaoke mode. Presumably this applies to other non-Latin scripts as well.
Modes and optionsEdit
Songs are classified according to their difficulty (easy, medium, hard), which doesn't correlate to the length of the song or the uncommon vocabulary. Usually it has to do with the pace of the song.
There are five modes of using the site:
- karaoke (at the bottom): just reading the synced lyrics, no points to be gained
- beginner: 10% of the lyrics are hidden
- intermediate: 25% hidden
- advanced: 50% hidden
- expert: typing the whole text
New version (2014)Edit
A new version of lyricstraining.com was released in February 2014. More changes may be coming.
- The scores have been reset, and as of now your totals are no longer tracked.
- An advanced mode (50% of the text hidden) has been added as an option between intermediate (25% hidden) and expert (typing the whole text).
- While choosing the mode, you can now see how long the song is and how many words you'll have to type.
- Like in karaoke, each line is now gradually highlighted as it is played (in any mode, see the image above).
- The whole experience is more game-like, and if you wait for too long, your "life" will be lost and you'll need to start from the beginning. There's also a practise mode in which there are no limits but the points don't count either.
- When viewing the high scores, it's now possible to compare yourself to other users from your country (including both registered and guests),
Mental practiceEdit
When you have no opportunity to study your target language, you can still sing in it silently. Of course you can't learn much this way, though you may finally figure out what a specific line means. Even if you don't get an epiphany moment, it will at least keep the language "buzzing" in your head.
In order to be humming it to yourself all day, you may want to listen to a catchy song in your L2 in the morning (such as "Ai se eu te pego" or "Gangnam style").
Challenges and musicEdit
Starting from 2015, a challenge dedicated to music was started.
Other challenges handle music in various ways:
- Tadoku ("read more or die") has a #lyric tag, which equals one page. You can count even the songs you know well, as long as you've not read the lyrics before (or adjust the repeat count accordingly)
- TAC allows music and there are often team challenges about it
- The 6 week challenge allows music, however, there's peer pressure for counting only a fraction of the time spent, unless you're very actively involved, for example reading the lyrics, singing along or using the Lyricstraining site
- The learning-based challenge and various small challenges allow music
- The Super Challenge doesn't allow music
Finding music sung in your target languageEdit
A huge help here is youtube. Sometimes even looking for something like "en español" can help but the best is to find at least one artist to begin with and let the current of links and suggestions drag you to more. You can, of course, use google and wikipedia as well but youtube is probably the most comfortable way as you can try a song or two by the musician or band right away. If available, Spotify is also a great option, especially for finding music by using a smartphone/tablet.
If you wish suggestions on where to start, see our list of music sorted by target language
Another starting point may be the youtube mixes. Just go to youtube and search "Canzoni italiane" or anything like that and you should get several playlists of various genres. Be prepared that music chosen included in the first few ones may not be to your liking as your search is too general. Or you may already know an artist and look at the similar ones youtube offers you. Or you know a genre is popular in the country and you search "Swedish metal".
Another option is to search the program of music festivals or cultural overview of all that happens in a city. Some digging in the results of googling "concerts grenoble octobre" or "this or that spanish festival you heard about" will surely show some local artists.
A great thing you can do these days is listening to foreign radio stations through the means of the internet. Search in your browser or get some of the many radio apps available for tablets and smartphones.
Further readingEdit
Consider getting the book "Language is music", which was written by Susanna Zaraysky, who's a polyglot and musician. Contrary to what the name might suggest, it isn't solely about using music in your learning.

Chancellor Merkel unrivalled in the Christian Democrats
On 3–5 December the CDU convention was held in Hanover. Chancellor Angela Merkel was elected the head of the party for the next term, receiving the support of 97.7% of her party. This was her best result since 2000 when she became the party leader for the first time. Her deputies were also elected - this group was expanded from four to five people – and the party chairs and the leadership.During the convention a document was adopted which will become the basis of the party's electoral programme. Among the proposals the CDU has announced in this document are: the introduction of the obligation for companies to establish gender parity in their management and supervisory boards, the introduction of a minimum wage in sectors not covered by group agreements and the preparation of an investment programme with regard to land, air and water infrastructure worth 25 billion euros in the future term of the Bundestag. In her speech made at the convention Chancellor Merkel expressed her willingness to continue the coalition with the FDP after the election for the Bundestag scheduled for September 2013. The party's convention is in fact the beginning of the fight for Chancellor Merkel's re-election.
- The good result achieved by Angela Merkel was above all meant to demonstrate unity within the CDU ahead of the electoral campaign for the Bundestag which will see the leader of the Christian Democrats in the starring role. The convention also confirmed the Chancellor's strong position as party leader and the lack of any important rivals for her within the party. The popularity of Labour Minister Ursula von der Leyen, regarded as a potential successor of Merkel has, however declined. Furthermore, Merkel's newly elected deputies in the CDU do not have their own political support base within the party.
- Despite the demonstrated unity there are factions of conservatives in the party who contest the current party line. Their criticism mainly concerns the introduction of the policies so far reserved for the Social Democrats and the Greens into the party's programme such as gender parity, the minimum wage, increased state support for the pension system, the elimination of compulsory military service and the withdrawal from nuclear energy.
- In her campaign, Angela Merkel will focus mainly on European issues in order to capitalise on support in society for the anti-crisis policy she has been pursuing on the EU forum. Merkel will leave internal issues such as energy transformation or welfare policy to trusted politicians, including Volker Kauder and Peter Altmaier, which will enable her to distance herself from concrete solutions and to take on the role of a mediator, should the need arise.
- The incorporation by the Christian Democrats of further issues associated up to now with the Social Democrats and the Greens is intended to win a part of the voters of these parties and to create space for a coalition with one of them after the election. The continuation of the CDU/CSU-FDP coalition is currently rather unlikely due to the weakness of the FDP. Surveys also indicate that none of the traditional ruling camps (neither the Christian Democrats nor the Social Democrats) will be able to build an independent stable majority. In this situation it will be possible to form a grand CDU/CSU-SPD coalition or a coalition composed of the CDU and the Greens. A government formed by the SPD, the Greens and the FDP may be an alternative to the latter option.

When you are on stage, you should perform, thats all I'm saying.
It is the obligation of the actor, performer, singer, animal in a cage, whoever, to put on a goddam show.
And they are just sitting there.
Sitting at a table in the front of my favorite Starbucks.
Evil Couple.
For those new to the blog, I have written tens of thousands of words about the most dysfunctional couple I have ever met.
These posts are the most viewed, most loved, and by me, the most obsessed about subjects on the site.
Hell, they are why I started this site.
Here is the past saga's. https://bittermac.com/in-the-beginning-evil-couple-part-1/
Good reading if you like uncomfortable public situations.
Anyway, why the hell bring it all up right now?
Despite the fact that I love these two?
They are sitting there, doing nothing.
Dance Monkey, dance.
Oh, well. There are worse things in the world than waiting to be amused by evil people.
I am a patient man.
Plus, I am in line and have nothing else to do.
Take it where you can get it.
And the thing I don't get is, there is a serious environment for absolute mayhem from these two, and they are oblivious.
First off, they are in the front of Starbucks, a location that Mrs. has practically shit herself over in the past.
They are sitting in front of the huge bay window that looks out on the street, and on the brick sitting porch.
There is currently a homeless guy and his dog sitting there.
The dog is vigorously licking his own nuts.
And the homeless owner is fluffing his shirt out around his armpits.
And that has got to be some sort of vile stench.
Yet, the evil couple sit there, doing nothing.
But I am not letting down my guard, I have been sucker punched by them before.
Always when I least expect it.
You'd think I would learn.
The line is going way too fast and I end up on the other side of the room creaming and sugaring my coffee.
This is not where I want to be.
I scuttle like a rat to the closest table to them.
For those that are not used to this behavior from me, sorry, its what I do.
I am not close enough to hear what the hell they are saying.
Not my day.
Well, if I can't hear them, at least I am not missing anything.
What a disappointing day.
And then she started hitting the window.
Mrs. Evil has evidently noticed either the dog licking his nuts or the homeless guy fluff bathing on the porch.
Either way, she has had enough.
She is rapping on the window hard enough to bruise her knuckles.
I think its the dog nuts that has pushed her this far.
An awkward, twitchy silence has descended over the Starbucks, smacks against the window spaced evenly between sharp, loud "HEY!" every third rap.
I am redeemed.
Its childish to be this way, I know this.
But it sure as hell isn't boring.

2JZ Swapped Wagon: 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300TD
Maybe I'm jaded...or maybe I've seen it all, but when I see a 2JZ swapped Mercedes-Benz wagon, I think to myself -- I've seen this car before...and while we here at DT have published our share (and everybody elses share too) of 2JZ (yo!) equipped Benzes, this particular car appears new to DT..but there must be something in the design of the W124 that lends it to 2JZ swaps, to the point that you can find engine/trans mount kits on on eBay.

Glori..Gloria...Gloriaaaaa, GLORIA: 2003 Infiniti M45 Y34
The Y34 generation M45 was sold in the US market for the 2003 and 2004 model years only, and in very limited numbers (8000 or so if you believe the web). The M45 was sold as a competitor to the BMW 540i, Audi S6 or Mercedes-Benz E500 and you don't see many around partially because it didn't have a basic entry model...but I think that only ads to the allure. Plus the styling is downright sweet and doesn't look aged like the previous mentioned competition from 15 years ago. Find this 2003 Infiniti M45 Y34 offered for $4900 in Houston, TX via craigslist.

The Lotus Elan M100 was a wedge shaped convertible penned by Peter Stevens (Jaguar XJR-15, McLaren F1, Lotus Esprit, MG ZR, ZS, ZT & TF) and built in the UK from 1989 through 1995...and later produced by Kia in South Korea under the name Kia Elan (and Kia Vigato). The Elan used a lightweight chassis and a name borrowed from the historical Lotus archives...but it was powered by an Isuzu (and later Kia) 4-banger mated to the front wheels. The only problem with this next example is when the seller states: "Will need someone who is handy and loves hunting for parts, solving puzzles." Yikes! Or sweet!

Rare = Crap or Fact? 1968 Peugeot 204 Roadster
There is a fine line between a car that is rare because its manufacturer limited the production of vehicles (because of exclusivity) and those cars that are rare because they were total crap when first released or have all rusted into oblivion..and this next car straddles that fine line like a cowboy riding a 2D horse....because Peugeot built 1.6 million examples of the 204 model, but I just don't have the foggiest how many ragtops made it to the US of A...but I have never seen on in the flesh.

Cool Ride...Upgrades Needed: 1964 Buick SportWagon
This next car is something close to my heart...and I'm genuinely curious to see how much it gets when the gavel hits the block, because it isn't too far from the '65 SportWagon that I've got sitting in my garage. Unfortunately, this one has the lower spec Wildcat 310 V8 (instead of the upgraded 4bb Wildcat 355) and it has non boosted single circuit drum brakes (yikes!!) and no AC or power steering...but it does have what appears to be a nice coat of light blue paint and the interior isn't bombed out. For someone who doesn't mind adding a few safety upgrades (power boosted dual-circuit brake upgrade kits are cheap and easy to install...just some time needed) it could be a great weekend cruiser. And swap those wheels/tires too! Find this 1964 Buick SportWagon here on eBay bidding for $6,600 with a few hours to go, located in Eden Prairie, MN with a few hours to go.

Corvette Some..errr: 1978 Datsun 280Z
By the 1978 model year the US spec Datsun Z had lost some of its original luster and it was looking bloated with big American bumpers and those heinous accordion mounting brackets. Even with a larger engine, the added safety and emission control bloat meant the car was slower and less fun to drive than the earlier models, but at least it wasn't as ugly or down on power with a boat anchor 305 V8 like a late 70s Vette...uggg.

Fake GT3: 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera
Can't afford a new Porsche 911 GT3? Yeah...okay, that is probably 99.9% of the adult population in the USA because those things are murderously expensive. Okay, head to the used side of the car lot and eeeeeEEEEEESH, they are still expensive. Like, a new BMW M3 expensive...so dig a bit deeper (there is always a lower level) and get yourself into something DT approved like a 911 C2 that has been sauced up to look like a GT3. Who is gonna know? And does it matter if they do? Find this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera offered for $16,500 in Pittsburg, CA via craigslist.

ASC McLaren Convertible: 1986 Mercury Capri
This next car is about as odd of a combination as you'll find around -- first it is the Mercury Capri from the time when they shared a chassis and powertrain with the Fox-body Mustang, and it is equipped with a manual gearbox, but the kicker is that it is one of the few Capri's put through the ASC McLaren convertible conversion.

If the idea of driving an Ariel Atom or KTM Xbow is certainly tempting, but the cash outlay needed for one of those stripped down racers for the street is nothing short of crazy.

S52 Powered Clown Shoe: 1999 BMW M Coupe
I had this idea that the asking prices for the clown-shoe generation BMW M-Coupes had gone through the roof, but then I found this next example which looks really nice in Imola red and appears in good shape for a reasonable ask...whoa...check out that odometer. How many thousands of dollars did somebody spend on ultra-expensive Castrol TWS 10W60 motor oil to keep the spinny bits still spinning?? Oh, wait this is an S52 powered 240 hp version, not the later S54 powered 315hp monster.. I'm at a loss -- is this a good deal?

Actually Custom: 1958 Triumph TR-10 Electric Conversion
I think, as car "journalists" we tend to think we've seen it all. Or at least, I do. And whenever I become jaded with all of the mundane junk (that passes for custom) for sale on craigslist (Chevy V8 powered RX-7s, dime-a-dozen, Bio-diesel Mercs been-there-done-that, etc) I go off in search for the oddballs, the unique stuff that only one guy ever thought "hey, this is a good idea".

Cheap Teggy: 1999 Acura Integra GSR
The 3rd generation Acura Integra (1994-2001) was the final Acura to be named Integra in the US Market (although the torch was passed to the remarkably similar RSX). The Integra sold well when new and became a huge hit in the sport compact scene once it became affordable for kids to modify; many have been attacked with nitrous systems, neon lights and plywood wings. Finding a stock/clean 3rd generation Integra is quite difficult today and getting one from an original owner is almost impossible, but this next one looks okay.

The Darkest MindsBook - 2018
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I started reading this book at friends house a few months ago. I had been thinking about this book, and decided to read the whole book this time. It was so good! I just had one small problem... there are two Liams, and a Ruby in my grade. Still an amazing book!
so touching. sometimes I'm crying, others i feel like the book grabbed my insides and was shaking them up. Liam is my favorite character, by far. Clancy was a bully, he liked Ruby then he hurt her. what is up with that? My friend recommended it for me, it was amazing!!!!! I totally suggest any one to read this book. there are a few swears, but the book it's self was a great read. And it ends with a cliffhanger,( when do they not?!) so I'm soo exited to read Never Fade.
it was an ok book, the movie was better though
A friend of mine suggested this book to me and I read it in two days!! I love the plot and how Ruby stays somwhat strong in the worst of times. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was one of those books I had a difficult time putting down. The concept is not entirely new (dystopian future as a result of biochemical sudden evolution and catastrophic decisions made by a panicked populace), and though it bothered me that no one questioned WHY or HOW the psi powers could have happened, it was entirely understandable that they didn't, given everything else going on. Except Chubs. Why didn't Chubs mull it over?
Ruby is the MC and narrator, but by the end of the novel it's an ensemble cast. She's the kind of heroine you like but not the kind who is universally liked- she's vulnerable and persistent and can think on her feet, but she's also spiky and naive. I had no problem coming along for the ride, with her perspective. Zu is the least-developed, primarily because her backstory is an intentional mystery. I'm really hoping that means we see more of her in later books, although the way this one ended....*ahem*
Liam is, as he's meant to be, amazing and swoonworthy. And Chubs goes from over-the-top snide to understandable and sweet throughout the course of the book. Everyone else serves as a plot point, but it works.
Although I was invested in the book, I wasn't emotionally torn open by it (as I am with Patrick Ness' books, and a few others). Which is fine- I don't have the energy for that kind of literary evisceration. But I have to say, the ending was surprisingly brutal. No spoilers, but don't think you'll be putting the book down with three chapters to go, I don't care how late it is.
Overall, I recommend it for fans of dystopian, especially if you like some science fiction in there (think X-Men), fast-paced YA, realistic romance (even though Liam was maybe *too* perfect, the pace of the romance was sweet, realistic, and well-balanced with the peril), and flawed heroines. Now to get my grubby paws on book 2!
CHARACTERS: First off, the characters are all pretty shallow. There really wasn't anything about them that came as a surprise to me. Clancy was extremely predictable, and within seconds of meeting Liam, I thought: here we go, the stereotypical romance. I really didn't like how Ruby didn't seem to … do anything. She didn't feel like a strong female lead, just someone bumbling around. And was that a rape I read there? I mean, if Clancy knows how to erase memory, then she wouldn't remember, but really? Oh, and Lady Jane? I felt as if she was just there because the author thought, "You know what'd be cool? A foreign Bounty Hunter Lady with a regal name." No real purpose to her.
PLOT: Road trip. The first couple of chapters pulled me in, and the rest afterwards was predictable and kinda sad. I wasn't entertained, and the whole book had a "this is an introduction to a bigger series" feel to it. It felt like a prologue that was long and pretty boring.
ACCURACY: Alright, I love me a good dystopia. I was interested into finding out more about this strange America, but the more I tried to figure it out the more confused I was. First off, why is this IAAN only in America? If it's contagious, airports all over the world would be shut down because it would spread like wildfire. Also, what are the differences between Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Red? All we know is they get progressively more dangerous, but do the powers change based on the person? Is it like Blues are telekinetic and Yellows have lightning fingers? The world building was extremely minimal, and while I understand holding back some info for the end, you gotta give me the basics straight out.
RECOMMENDATION: This book made me remember why I don't follow the hype (Like with Divergent). It's poorly written with a basic plot and a stereotypical dystopia that can't explain itself to save its life. It doesn't surprise me the hype followed to the movie, where the audience liked it but the critics realized this story can't carry itself even in cinematic format.
Huh. Well, I don't exactly see what all the hype is about, and also I don't see why they made this into a movie (speaking of the movie, it was WAAAAAYY better than the book—surprise!).
The Plot
The Darkest Minds was a bit cluttered. It starts really well and the plot climbs rapidly with plenty of fight scenes and plenty of thrills. But the moment Ruby and her friends step into East River, everything crashes into a train wreck. Ridiculous twists and turns make the plot completely unsatisfactory, even if it was fairly entertaining.
The Premise
From when I began reading this book I was skeptical. I just couldn't believe that there was a deadly disease that killed most of the world's kids, leaving the survivors with superpowers. I also couldn't believe that the government would actually lock them away in prisons. That just wouldn't happen.
The Writing
The writing was pretty solid, but the amount of times the characters swore just wore on my nerves and made me wince every time they said "oh my god" or "what an asshole". I don't mind a bit of swearing. I just don't like it when it's overused. And The Darkest Minds completely overused it. And those three f-bombs? Were they really necessary?
The Romance
Liam was perfect for Ruby. Ruby was perfect for Liam. But Clancy? Love triangle? Why? NOOOOOOOO! Love triangles are overused in YA literature (with exceptions). The Darkest Minds utilized every stereotypical expression or twist to "build" the love triangle. This just made me wince and cringe and scream.
The Characters
The characters were very good at the beginning, but as the book progressed they get worse and worse, doing things for ridiculous motives and getting more and more irritating. When Clancy steps into the picture Ruby gets irritating, mopey, and silly, which is so different from the Ruby I knew at the beginning of the book. She was so strong, so determined, so real. Liam was adorable and Chubs was funny and Suzume was sweet.
I liked The Darkest Minds well enough, but not enough to read it again or read the sequels.
I purchased this first book in the series after the movie was released. I hadn't seen it but had been intrigued. The book did not disappoint. An exciting read with well developed characters and enough twists to keep me reading through the entire series. Like many" young adult" fiction books, I sometimes enjoy them more than the adult versions.
Kind of late to the dystopian party, but I like reading trilogies that are already past their prime so that, if I really love the first one, I don't have to wait an agonizingly long time between books. With all the hype about this series I waited in line on the SPL reserves list until it landed on my shelf. After the first 80 pages I kind of wondered what all the hype was about and started to doubt whether I wanted to keep reading, especially after reading a few reviews on Goodreads about the monster-long road trip that never went anywhere, but the writing was good enough and I was intrigued by the kids' "powers" and the break-out by someone who couldn't possibly be a good person (Cate). By the time Ruby hooked up with Liam, Zu and Chubs, I was compelled to keep reading. I got confused by the stores that were abandoned but still had things like beautiful red and pink dresses for the taking, but whatever. Yes, the road trip was long (complained some reviewers who rated it one or two stars) but the kids were "on the run" not just driving along aimlessly. I liked the idea of getting inside someone's head to see their thoughts, and the triangle between Ruby, Clancy, and Liam was plausible and deepened the intrigue. In the end I was pulled forward by the narrative and had to find out what happened. Not in love with the book enough to go out and buy it or the sequels, but I am intrigued enough to wait my turn in the SPL request line. Apparently there are lots of others of the same mindset.
In one generation, as kids enter puberty ages they start to die or exhibit superhuman powers. The kids with powers are sent to camps and classified by the type of powers they have: Green - heightened intelligence, Blue - power to move objects with thoughts, Yellow - power to create and control electricity, Orange - power to control minds, memories, and emotions, and Red - power to create and control fire. Yellow, orange, and red are considered extremely dangerous and are eventually removed from the camps with blues and greens. On Ruby's 10th birthday she is sent to a camp. Through her powers she discovers she should be classified orange, but after a terrifying experience with another orange upon arrival, Ruby convinces the classifier that she is green. Six years on, she is discovered and smuggled out of the camp by the Children's League, but through her powers see some terrifying memories and escapes the people who saved her from the camp. She comes across three other kids with powers who escaped another camp on their own and had a completely different type of camp experience. They take her in and all go on a journey to find someone called the Slip Kid who can help them get in contact with their families and possibly go home. Ruby is most interested in the Slip Kid, because he is rumored to be an orange - as two of the last known oranges, Ruby hopes he might be able to help her control her powers, but finds way more than she expected.

Sexual Content: Flirting, caressing, and kissing. It goes no farther than that, but it's described quite thoroughly.
Violence: Kids at brutal incarceration camps are beaten, killed, and tortured. Some chases by vehicle and on foot, with a couple of crashes and explosions. There is blood, injuries, fights, weapons, gunfire, death, and assault. There are plenty of descriptions (sometimes graphic).
Coarse Language: Frequent uses of sh** and variants, ass and variants, and OMG and variants. Three uses of f**king.
Violence: Mild fantasy violence, not too bad. Still a great book.
SummaryAdd a Summary
In this bleak, action-packed book, 98 percent of the children in America have been killed by a virus - and the other two percent have developed frightening powers that they can't control, prompting the government to lock them up in "rehabilitation camps." Sixteen-year-old Ruby has escaped from one of these camps, along with a small group of others who, like her, are looking for the one secure haven they've heard about... but they'll have to make it there without being captured or killed first. This often violent novel's twists and turns will keep you guessing, and there's also plenty to pull fans of well-developed characters into its harsh, dark world
Sixteen-year-old Ruby wakes up on the morning of her tenth birthday only to discover that her parents don't know who she is. She is brought to a camp for people like her and barely escapes with her life. On the run, she meets a group of kids from another camp, and soon she finds herself a part of their band as well. Now she is searching for the rumored East River,and at the same time Ruby is falling for Liam, her group's new leader. Knowing what a monster she is, she cannot afford to get close. But can she really learn to stay away? And will Ruby ever learn to control her power? The same power that made her parents forget her and send her to the place where it all started? Read "The Darkest Minds" to find out...

With the constant revelations highlighted in the secular media of scandals (sexual infidelities, corruption, financial frauds, etc.) involving professing "Christian" bishops, priests, ministers, pastors and church workers, we must ask ourselves:
How can those genuinely seeking to promote the "moral welfare" of society based on a Judaeo-Christian spiritual framework, continue to do so with integrity, when so many non-Christians accuse them too of sheer hypocrisy and deceit based on the wrongdoing of others?
Surely it is important and fair-minded to first ask the necessary question: Are the "Christian" individuals and groups actually exposed for proven immorality and corruption, really Christian at all? And second: Are those non-Christians who so boldly point the accusing finger, free from hypocrisy themselves and are they entitled to 'throw the first stone'?
Witness the case of Rev. Jonathan Kirkpatrick, 53, a former Auckland University of Technology (AUT) staff member, who recently admitted defrauding the AUT of more than half a million dollars. [Read more…]

Ben struggled in practice to get the right set up and was only able to qualify in tenth place. However, he made a great start in the first race and set some fast lap times to gain an impressive fifth place and promotion to fifth place on the grid for the second race. For race two he got a fantastic start and was involved in a thrilling race with five riders all battling for the lead. Ben took the lead on several occasions finally making a break and taking an excellent win for the first time this season to the delight of the spectators cheering him all the way to the finish line.
