Goldberg has had a storied career winning titles in WCW and WWE and "the streak" during his run in WCW.
One of the things that gets brought up countless times in Goldberg's time in WCW is his short feud with Bret "The Hitman" Hart and the thrust kick that cut Hart's wrestling career short outside of some infrequent matches earlier this decade. Goldberg was asked on Inside the Ropes about the potential a Goldberg-Hart feud would have had.
"Yeah man. Bret 'The Hitman' Hart. His name and moniker speak for themselves," Goldberg said. "A staple in the business. The lineage is unparalleled. It was an honor and a privilege [to work with him], and I very much looked up to him and listened to everything he said.
"At that time, there were many people who gave opinions, and you did not know whether they had their best interest at heart. You don't know if they had the company's best interest at heart or your best interest at heart. I still don't know, and I don't care because at the end of the day, I can only control what I can control and that is it. I'm not gonna sit and complain about anything. I'm just gonna go out and do my job. I would have loved to have worked a little more with Bret Hart, and I would've loved more than anything to not have kicked Bret Hart in the head."
Hart recently said that he believes that Goldberg should not be in the WWE Hall of Fame due to injuring wrestlers. Goldberg went into detail about what has been said about the incident and talks about how it was merely an accident.
"You know what happened happened. There have been things that have been said on the internet by Bret or by other people that I was malicious or he should not have been in the ring with me, and I'm really sorry man, but if I really wanted to hurt the guy, he wouldn't have gotten up. No joke," Goldberg said. "But accidents happen and he was an idol of mine, still is, and that's one thing I forever be remorseful for is the misplaced kick. There are a couple things in my career that I wished I could have changed. That was one of them. The length that I had an angle with him and my 'inability to be professional enough' to pull the kick, but it meant very much to me to be believable. "
Goldberg also talked about how he wanted to present his character in the ring and how he wanted it to be different than what others were doing.
"I didn't want to present a character that, no offense, was like a Ric Flair. I don't run around and be goofy and entertain people like that," Goldberg said. "I'm a competitor. I'm not an entertainer so if what I do in competing entertains then I'm ecstatic, but I didn't set out to be a sideshow in any stretch of the imagination. My two to five to 10 minute, I'm stretching it a little bit, matches were basically like throwing people to the lions. It was messy and it was violent. It was over before you knew it. That's what people loved. It was something different."

Mark Gong is a New York based designer who, in 2015, founded his eponymous label, Mark Gong Studio. Looking to mirror the silhouette of an independent, unconventional woman, his brand actively embraces creativity, grace, and comfort. His designs are simple, yet sophisticated; quiet yet distinct.
Currently, as a student at Parsons: The New School, Mark Gong draws on fashion as a medium to convey his vision of life, history, and culture. Within just three years he has managed to create four seasonal ready-to -wear collections, all while managing and growing his business.
Mark Gong originally landed in California a mere five years ago to attend high school. During his time there, the school did not provide internet services to assure students focused on their studies. With little connection to the outside world, and with limited fluency in the language and culture, Mark felt as if he were thrown into isolation. He spent day after day in his small paneled room, deep in thought and introspection. The school, with all of its rules and regulations, suffocated his creative side, pushing him to look elsewhere for the source. It was during this long dark period that it dawned on Mark to lean on clothing and design, as an expression of his emotions. He began with simple sketching and remained in constant search for inspiration. It was there, in the vast outdoors that he found true solace and ingenuity. Soaking in the natural beauty opened his mind and horizon to a colorful future with dancing silhouettes.

NASCAR drops the hammer on more teams after Texas
In addition to Kevin Harvick's major penalty, Ryan Blaney's and Erik Jones' cars also failed inspection and were given penalties on Wednesday.
While Kevin Harvick's winning car being found to have an illegal rear spoiler was the big news coming from the NASCAR R&D Center, the other two cars sent back for inspection were also found with violations.
The No. 12 Team Penske Ford of Ryan Blaney was assessed an L1 penalty after an infraction of the rule that "all filler panels must remain permanently attached for the entire event."
With the penalty, Blaney's crew chief Jeremy Bullins has been fined $50,000 and car chief Kirk Almquist has been suspended for the next two Cup Series races (the remainder of the season). The team also lost 20 driver points and 20 car owner points.
The No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota driven by Erik Jones was issued an L1 penalty after problems with a package tray. The penalty notice stated: "Air cannot pass from one area of the vehicle interior to another. Vehicle package tray must remain flat and straight from front to back, with one break."
Jones' crew chief Chris Gayle received a $50,000 fine and car chief Jason Overstreet has been suspended for the remainder of the season (two races) and the team also loses 20 driver points and 20 owner points.
Truck team also receives penalty
The No. 35 truck driven by Brennan Poole was found to have a safety violation which resulted in penalties for the team.
The truck lost a ballast container which results in suspensions for three members of the team. Crew chief Ryan Bell, truck chief Jerry Kennedy and mechanic Patrick Magee have all been suspended for the next three NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events through February 20, 2019.

As tributes and goodbyes rolled in for Andrew Scheer, the former Conservative Party leader took a moment in his speech to get in one final dig at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"If the prime minister won't mind a little bit of good-natured ribbing," Scheer started.
"I believe I'm the first person in Canadian history to get more votes than a Trudeau," he said to laughs from the House of Commons.
Scheer is referencing the Conservative party's win of the popular vote - 34 per cent of Canadian voters. The Liberals won 33 per cent, but Canada's first-past-the-post electoral system means the number of seats won by the party dictates the victor.
The Liberals won 157 seats, with the Conservatives trailing at 121 and the Bloc rising to grab 32.
Scheer resigned from the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada after post-election pressure mounted. The party was unable to secure a win over Trudeau's Liberals in an election mired by scandals.
"I felt it was time to put my family first," Scheer said as part of the reason for his decision. He said he would support his successor "100 per cent."
Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh both thanked Scheer for his service and said they respected his decision to focus on his family.
What do you think of Andrew Scheer's resignation as leader of the Conservative Party? Vote in the poll below and leave a comment.

Struggling under the yoke of oppression...
Item # 666221
June 15, 1776
THE PENNSYLVANIA LEDGER, Philadelphia, June 15, 1776
* Rare Revolutionary War era title
* Tory issue from Pennsylvania
* Great year to have (1776)
This was a decidedly Tory newspaper, supportive of the British efforts in America. This newspaper ended publication in June, 1778 when the British evacuated the city. Keep in mind also that this issue is dated less than 3 weeks before the Declaration of Independence.
The front page begins with an advertisement for pamphlet of a Loyalist responding to Thomas Paine's Common Sense, titled: "The True Interest of America Impartially Stated In Certain Strictures on a Pamphlet entitled COMMON SENSE, By an American" with a bit more.
The ftpg. also has a great document, an appeal from the New York Mechanics to the provincial congress, which includes: "We as a part of your constituents & devoted friends to our bleeding country...where fair freedom, civil & religious, we have long enjoyed...sorrow fills our hearts to behold her now struggling under the heavy load of oppression, tyranny and death...".
Page 2 has some good war-related content including: "The continent of America is to be allotted into 3 division: Adm. Shuldham is to command i the River St. Lawrence & to the northward; Lord Hoe from thence to North Carolina, and the 3rd division intended for Sir Hugh Palliser from North Carolina to the extent of our settlements." Also: "From General Lee's taking possession of New York it should seem as if the fate of that city was determined...". Also from New York: "Thurs. afternoon his Excellency General Washington arrived in town from Philadelphia." Also: "...that Lord Howe was to embark with the last of the forces...about 25,000 Hessians...This gives me some hopes of a reconciliation taking place, that we may live in quietness again...".
Freedom-focused content continues on pages 2 & 3. Page 4 has a nice & detailed advertisement taking three-quarters of a column, for the famous work: "A New System of MILITARY DISCIPLINE founded on Principle, by a General Officer."
Four pages, numeric notations in margins next to ads (this was the editor's copy), very nice condition.

|This is what arugula should look like--
Mine was much sadder
This stuff is slimy, and has a strange smell. I put some on my sandwich yesterday, even though it tasted funny, and now I have a tummyache. Could be unrelated, but I'm ditching the arugula anyway. Trader Joes has a policy that you can return anything you don't like, but the store is too far from home to make it worthwhile, and if I stop there after work, it will mean either leaving arugula in my hot car for eight hours, or schlepping it into the break room fridge, which is just weird, and really doesn't sound like something I'm into. I'll take a $2.50 loss and never buy Trader Joes leafy greens again.

The Met Office believes their weather forecasts are more than 80% accurate.
Climatologist Kenneth Kerr says this is a 'phenomenal record' for the Service given the difficulty in forecasting weather patterns in the Caribbean.
He adds that their record may even be better than the United States, given their accuracy of about 66%.
Meanwhile Mr Kerr believes the implementation of the colour coded system by the T&T Met Service has been effective.
The colour coded system shows what risk level the country is in using a colour scheme of Yellow-Orange-Red to indicate Moderate-High-Very High risk respectively.
Mr Kerr says this has allowed persons to respond and make earlier actions in the event of bad weather approaching.

I confess: I don't do a lot of bus-sketching these days, but this guy made such an impression on me, I just couldn't resist!
3 days after the actual bus ride, I finally got to it and did a quick capture from memory.
I think there's something to be learned from the evolution of this sketch. Here is the drawing I started with:
Enter the written word…
I uploaded it to my sketch blog, and then added the following description:
This guy was so interesting, I just had to sketch him – even though it took me 3 days to get to it. He was a huge guy, eyes buried deep under a massive elephant-like forehead and bushy black eyebrows. Swaying heavily, he kept complaining about a strong smell of cognac. I think his idea was that if he complained loudly enough about the smell, people wouldn't suspect it was actually coming from him.
Suddenly, I realized the mammoth forehead thing – which to me was one of the guy's main features – was almost entirely missing in my sketch!
So, I made this quick change:
I hope you'll agree that the forehead makes a real difference here – it really helps define this particular concept. Exaggerated of course, but as I've already written elsewhere – with captures, it's more important to be interesting then objectively accurate.
Switching mediums
So, why am I posting this?
Because I think it's interesting that something I completely missed in one medium (drawing) came out strongly in a different medium (writing).
Of course, the opposite would have worked too (i.e. sharpening a written description with a quick sketch).
The bottom line: switching mediums is a great way of shedding new light on your subject, and escaping some of your medium-specific habits.
Tweet tweet!
[tweet "switching mediums is a great way of shedding new light on your subject."]
For your next work, try switching to a different medium at some point. You can use drawing, writing, sculpting, music, whatever. It doesn't have to be something you're very good at; it's not about getting awesome results. It's about experimenting with a different point of view.
If I'm right, you'll feel the different medium is giving you fresh perspective.
Hey – if you try it, I'd love to hear about how it turned out…
Write a comment and tell me about your experience; or, if you have your own blog, you could even post about it and share the link.

I received 2 great items from Canadian Rockies Art studio from my trade week. A gorgeous handcrafted sterling heart "amore" pendant and a pair of hand forged silver fringe earrings. The earrings are on as I write! Also received some great Bali beads and some silver heart clasp from Texas destash. What a haul today.
As I wait for the holiday rush to start, hopefully before Black Friday, I am adding some lucious gift items to my shop and also some affordablly priced stocking stuffers. Todays shop highlight is one of my charm gemstone cluster necklaces with a very lovely vermeil lotus bud and some crystal clear gemstones clustered around. Check it out http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33937534. Pink amethyst, purple amethyst, white topaz and green amethyst , all nice pastels to wear with sweaters and tops this fall and winter. All stones are wire wrapped in 14k gold filled wire and hung on a unique mirror link gold filled chain. Great gift for that special lady (put it on your wish list and slide it under his drink at dinner) or even a special treat for yourself for a holiday party.
Check out some of the holiday sparkler earrings - most all under US $25.00 some under US $20.00. You can never have too many pairs of earrings to mix and match with holiday outfits.
Did some of my own holiday shopping today for the granddaughter, she get most of the attention until after Thanksgiving when i have to start thinking about adults. Sorry, big people just aren't as much fun to buy for as little ones. I got monkey jammies, and a cute bathrobe and funny books today. I had to stay out of the toy section, no more room in the house.
Trying to plan already for Thanksgiving and out of town guests. I sometimes wish my family didn't think I was such a good cook and would volunteer to bake pies, make the mashed potatoes or broccoli casserole. It will be fun, but now I'm off to start cleaning so I don't have everything to do the week of Thanksgiving. Oh, yes, I will clean again, and again- but the big stuff has to get done first.2009-11-09

Share on ThriftyFunThis page contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
By sprinkling clean cat litter on your sidewalk or driveway, it may save you from a bad fall and it will give you traction if you have ice under the snow. Remember the cat litter won't hurt your lawn either. You don't have a cat? Well you are missing out on a loving pet and she or he could be saving you from a fall on the ice besides. Cat litter is cheap from the discount stores.
Source: Family Almanac 2010
By Ann Winberg
To provide traction on ice in your driveway or for your car, use "Oil Dry." It is usually used to dry up spilled motor oil, but has other uses. It will not break down or mush up like Kitty Litter. It will absorb water, oil, or other liquids. Sprinkle it on ice and it will provide traction. After the Oil Dry drys out, sweep it up and reuse later. Put it under your car tire for traction. It will not harm your lawn or flower garden. When it gets tracked into the house, sweep it up and reuse it, or vacuum it up.
Oil Dry (has other trade names) can be found at auto parts stores, farm stores, and as some stores. The bags of the product may come in forty pound or larger bags. If the amount is greater than your need, share it with your neighbors and or coworkers. Save the environment!
By Chuck from Prince George, VA
In rural Ohio, getting stuck in the snow on occasion is expected so I keep several medium sized carpet scraps in my trunk. When placed under wheels, they make getting traction--and out--easy!
By Trude from Lima, Ohio
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
Since salt is harmful to dogs, when your sidewalks, etc are icy, sprinkle kitty litter to give Fido some traction. You will still need to wipe his paws, but at least there won't be caustic salt eating away at his toe pads!

The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008
[August 2009] This well-written book provides a history of recent economic crises and delves in to the underlying reasons for economic problems. It is very well illustrated with examples from Latin America, Asia, as well as a "babysitting co-op". The discussion is fairly non-technical and makes the basic economic theory easily understandable by non economists. One argument that he brings out is that of the "self-fulfilling prophecy" When many people think something will happen in the economy, it is likely to happen - even if most fundamentals indicate otherwise. The example of the Asian economic crisis (and especially Japan) served as the basis for the original version of the book. In this update, they are used to help foreshadow and illustrate the current economic problems. The "new" discussion is well integrated, allowing the book to read like something that was written specifically to discuss current economic conditions.

It felt like a lifetime ago that I last wrote a post for the Ruins Project and upon checking when the last post was, my suspicions were confirmed. Between one thing and another, circumstances have dictated the path of my work over the past month or so; I won't go into all that here and now as it's pretty irrelevant at this point.
The good thing is that I'm now back in my Sanctum Sanctorum and working again. I've been doing some little bits and pieces today, tomorrow will be much the same as I have a few small pieces I'm currently working on; Friday however, I will be back to painting and working towards getting this project finished.
It's ironic really because when I began this project I wanted it to be a smaller project than the Lord of the Rings one but I think this one has been a bigger undertaking all in all. I'm at the stage now though where it just needs finishing and wrapping up in order to move onto the next project; there is no definitive deadline as it is an experimental piece inasmuch as it being only my second oil painting and I've learned so far that it is hard to time that which I do not fully know.
This is the current stage of the painting, base layers are all down and now it's just a case of reworking and refining the piece and getting the details in. In theory the bulk of the work is over but the detailed work will be time consuming so in practice it is hard to state a definitive finish date.
There is also the factor that the time I've spent away from the piece has led me astray mentally, I need to re-immerse myself in the landscape and the narrative behind it again to bring back the story as a reality within my own consciousness, living and breathing the scene whilst painting it will add much more life and atmosphere to the finished painting.
My main objective with my work when painting a narrative scene, is to paint it as though I am there in person; a witness to the story that captures the moment on canvas as it unfolds.
I look forward to Friday's painting session and I'll get Part V published as soon as I can after Friday.
So until then, take care and thanks for reading!

JTC Running BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES
Tuesday, September 6, 2016

Tijuana Flats SBR Kickoff Party – The Kickoff Party was on Monday, Aug 8, with a Fun Run at 6 and the party at 6:30 at Tijuana Flats Lakewood. We had a good turnout and everybody had fun.

Guana Trail Races – (Sun, 12/4/16) – planning for the event is going well.

CLASSES & CLINICS – As noted previously, our Half Marathon Training Class starts on Sept 8. Jane Alred plans to work on a big event for the Gate River Run.
COMMUNITY & PUBLIC RELATIONS – Director Larry Sassa said that he and Colleen Clarson have identified a council member who will talk with us regarding our plan to install water fountains at a popular Jacksonville Beach running route. Jax Beach has a new Parks Director. Our plan for the fountains will include a plaque crediting JTCRunning for the fountains and include wording commemorating the Summer Beach Run as Florida's oldest race.
FINANCE – Treasurer Bonnie Brooks told us that she would be out of town from Sept 13 through Sept 20. A Finance Committee meeting was held on August 22 to discuss numerous club financial items.
The committee addressed GRR expenses that JTCR has paid under the club budget such as the TenBroeck Cup and Time Incentives. The committee recommends that any of these expenses should be listed under the race budget rather than under the JTCR budget. Bonnie made a motion, seconded by Susan Haag, that starting with the GRR for 2017, all initiatives and expenses come from the race budget. Discussion was lengthy. The vote was called and the motion passed.
Bonnie made a motion, seconded by Franz Lerch, that we "round up" our donation to the Just In Queso Foundation this year so that it can be an even $10,000. The motion passed.
We received a request for support from Don Holloway of Fletcher High School to help pay for timing of the Gateway Conference cross-country meet timing. Bonnie Brooks made a motion that we donate $500 which was seconded by Doug Alred. The motion passed.
The Torrin Lawrence Track Club requested $5,000 support. We requested and received receipts for an AAU fee, hotels, and transportation. Bonnie made a motion, seconded by Douglas Tillett, that we contribute $500 to the Torrin Lawrence Track Club. The motion passed.
Epitome is a major local youth team and a member of AAU and USAFT and typically have between 30 and 65 runners when they attend meets. They host major meets for AAU and USATF. Bonnie made a motion, seconded by Douglas Tillett, that we contribute $2,500 to Epitome. The motion passed.
The Finance Committee is working to standardize our donation policy. Todd O'Donnell and Angela Harris will be heading up a policy subcommittee.
Doug Alred is working to verify how many runners from the Warriors Elite youth team coached by Richard Grooms ran in events for which they would like support from JTCR.
Jacksonville University sent a request for support for a race they are putting on that will benefit three JU programs, one of which is the JU Kinesiology Running Research program. We discussed how our club usually does not support individual races but the request made us think that perhaps we could request that the $500 we pay JU for The Last Gasp be earmarked for their Kinesiology program or some other special purpose.
MEMBERSHIP – Reported membership is at 1,194 active members.
MERCHANDISE – No report.
NEWSLETTER – The deadline for contributions to the next edition of The Starting Line is Sept 10th.
SOCIAL MEDIA – No report.
SOCIAL & BANQUET – The JTCR Christmas Party will be on Dec 10 inside 1st Place Sports San Marco. Jane Alred invited the board to email input to her regarding plans for the social. Last year we contracted with Mojo Barbeque for the food.
VISION & PLANNING – Doug Alred noted that he has noticed that the Skinner Park Bridge we had built is looking like it needs repair.
He also told us that a cross-country coach talked to him about the possibility of staging a meet at the Sunbeam Road landfill.

February 14, 2006
(Directed to Governor Janet Napolitano) My Father, a retired Arizona miner, has been a resident of the Pioneers' Home in Prescott for the past year and a half. Last week, he died there at the age of 92.
My brother and I have found the Pioneers' Home to be an outstanding facility for the care of elderly Arizonans. When Dad entered the home, his health was good enough that he enjoyed a great deal of independence. Since we live reasonably close to Prescott, my husband and I would visit him on a regular basis, take him out to lunch or to a store if he needed to buy something, and then return him to the Home. He was always glad to get away for an hour or two, but he was also always happy to return. He had a real comfort level there. In November, his health began to deteriorate; and he was moved to an area of the home where he could have round the clock assistance based on his needs.
My husband and I have had some experience with retirement homes over the years, mainly as a result of the elderly people in his family. We've been to many of them, and the experience hasn't always been positive. Some don't smell good; the employees seem disinterested; the food is substandard; and the residents aren't well cared for. That is not the case at the Pioneers' Home. The employees there really seemed to love Dad; and he wasn't always a loveable person. We've never noticed offensive odors at the home. Despite the fact it is an old facility, it is unbelievably clean. The management and staff are undeniably dedicated to the care of the residents.
As an Arizona native, I am very proud of this jewel in the crown of our social services for the elderly; and we are thankful to our Arizona State Government for maintaining the Pioneers' Home.

Melbourne University :: #ArtsHack 2013
Do you have data that needs to be displayed on a map? ITS Research & The Faculty of Arts in collaboration with community wrangler David Flanders have carefully designed these workshops for postgraduate students and academics in the Faculty of Arts.
This workshop is modeled off a recent event run at The Age newspaper, outlined in more detail here.
#ArtsHack will be a series of short workshops on how to turn humanities data into physical and interactive maps using a tool called TileMill. Participants will learn all the skills to make this happen; from making their data geospatially compliant through to using a cartography formatting language to tell a story with a map.
Each participant will walk away with the ability to produce beautiful visual maps for the front page of their research papers, for their presentations, and even publishing interactive maps on their own website. The classroom sessions will be aimed at postgraduate students and academics (we estimate 20 to 35 people). The finale will be an art gallery/show event, show-casing the work of the participants. This will be for Faculty of Arts academics, family and other Melburnians.
1. The Workshops and the Finale
There will be two workshop sessions (3 hours each) plus an option session to teach participants how to format their data so it can be wrangled into a map and then stylised to highlight the map with various cartography techniques, so as to help tell the story' of the research and its data. The finale event will be a printing of the maps that are produced and their exhibition at an art gallery for colleagues and friends to attend.
Workshop #1 – Room 263 Old Arts Building – Tuesday June 4th 3pm – 6pm (participants will then be encouraged to attend a homework study session at the local pub between 6pm – 9pm)
Workshop #2, Room 257 Old Arts Building – Thursday June 6th 3pm – 6pm (another homework session at the local)
Workshop # 3 (optional) Room 263 Old Arts Building– Tuesday June 11th 3pm – 6pm (another homework session at the local if needed)
Final maps are due Wednesday 12th June for us to print for the exhibition.
Wine and Cheese Cartography Exhibition – Arts Hall, Old Arts Building Thursday June 13th 6pm – 9pm friends and family welcome.
2. Registration & Questions
To register for this event, please register your details on this web page. Got any questions? Please email us at email@example.com.
3. Where did all of this come from?
The vision of ITS Research is to empower researchers to do great things with IT. Providing IT service is not just about giving people access to a desktop PC, or a cloud server, it's about showing particular labs or groups or disciplines how IT can work for them. The #ArtsHack event is a great example of showing people how to use IT in a very specific, targeted way that works for them. And of course, people partake in a fun and educating way.

More Information
A hyperlink may not go to a Microsoft Word document or a Microsoft Excel worksheet after you use this workaround.
Office uses the Urlmon.dll file to handle all Internet transitions.
In this case, the Urlmon.dll file sends a request to get a file via http:// through the proxy server. The proxy server sees that the request came from Internet Explorer, based upon the HTTP User Agent field of the http://request. It then gives an error 403, basically saying "Access Denied."
The Urlmon.dll file gets this and simply returns the error message mentioned earlier. The error means that the request failed, but it never states why it failed.
The workaround is to use a ShellExecute() on the URL. This allows the operating system to start the URL on the default browser. If the default browser is not restricted by the proxy server, the proper page is displayed.

AbiWord 2.4.4
By hub, Sunday 16 April 2006 at 18:42 :: AbiWord
AbiWord 2.4.4 has been released. This time there are binaries for MacOS X 10.2 (and up) on PowerPC. Unfortunately the equation support is broken on Mac in this version. I hope to have a new build soon for that.
Release Notes, Changelog, Download
About AbiWord on Intel Mac, there is at the moment no official build planned as none of the developers has an Intel-based Mac. There is no reason it wouldn't work, but the dependencies have to be rebuilt as well. I have requested Apple, thought ADC, a loan of an Intel machine for that, but no reply so far.

Why Didn't I End It Sooner?: The Self-Discredation Cycle in Relationships
Everyone struggles with self-doubt, especially when making decisions surrounding a romantic relationship. Should you ask for his number first, or is that too assertive? Does double texting make you look desperate? Is it going to be seen as "bitchy" if you end things at a certain time in the relationship? What will others think?
It's not always easy to trust your instincts, especially when your mind is also questioning what is "socially acceptable," or feeding you irrational thoughts that stem from feelings of fear and insecurity. I've been in several relationships where I felt considerable anxiety and stayed longer than I should have because of my tendency to overthink. Sometimes, if I was anxious enough, I could even build a pattern of self-mistrust and start doubting whether my issue was "big" enough to be a red flag, or even an issue worthy of conflict instigation. I could even convince myself it was okay to put up with things that I later realized were making me incredibly unhappy or anxious. It's easy to do, and I know many others have experienced this as well.
However, I strongly believe that it's not okay for those of us who suffer in these ways to keep pretending there is no issue, and hope for learned self-doubt to go away when we find the "right person." While it's a nice thought, I know that I don't want to wait around for someone to "fix" me. The issue of staying too long in ill-fitting relationships is a learned practice, and I believe that it occurs when you establish a pattern of self-doubt and confused coping skills which I'm calling the "Self-Discredation Cycle."
The Self-Discredation Cycle
The Self-Discredation Cycle begins when negative thoughts seem to indicate that there is something to worry about in your relationship, which ruminate until you start to spiral and don't know what to do about them. For example, a partner doing something you disapprove of may make you wonder if they're the right fit for you, but you then question whether it was a one-time thing, or start making excuses for it, because you don't want something to be wrong.
You can choose to address or suppress the negative thoughts, but you tell yourself that addressing them may lead to unnecessary conflict. Therefore, suppression becomes the norm because of three predominant thought processes: you care about them, you want everything to be okay, and you can justify the behaviour by believing "love is hard," "you have to compromise," or "you're making a big deal of nothing."
Once the practice of suppression is in place, it can cause you to use repeated soothing thoughts as a coping mechanism, which suppresses the anxiety by claiming that everything is okay and your unhappiness is unjustified. For example, a common worry that young women seem to encounter is, "What if they're not replying because they don't have feelings for me?" This worry can be met by the soothing thought, "They don't want to hurt you, just put a bit of trust in them, you're upsetting yourself for no reason."
This part of the process in itself can be positive and constructive because in a healthy relationship you can openly address the issue with your partner and realize that there is truly no reason to worry. In other words, you can receive the proper effort from your partner to prove that you have nothing to fear. However, by telling yourself that you're upset "for no reason," and therefore minimizing the issue and invalidating your feelings, you can also build a pattern of self-doubt that will cause the Self-Discredation Cycle in less healthy or ill-fitting relationships.
The Self-Discredation Cycle takes the creation of self-doubt, as a result of soothing-based coping, and builds on it. By establishing a pattern of suppression when you encounter an anxious thought about the relationship, you can begin to negate actual, valid issues under the same rationale of "everything is okay." Thus, you begin using self-soothing thoughts as the automatic response to unhappiness, treating rational worries caused by a real problem with the relationship as irrational overthinking. This process is what caused me, and I would bet many others, to stay in relationships that were ultimately creating unhappiness and should have ended earlier.
It can be so easy to justify staying in relationships by burying your anxiety under a false sense of safety, created by the soothing thoughts that had before helped build a healthy, trustworthy relationship. The cycle can also cause you to further distrust yourself, making it impossible to make serious decisions, like ending a relationship that you're convinced is perfectly healthy and normal.
For me, it wasn't always that my partner was treating me poorly or was a bad person, but rather that the division between what we needed in the relationship, or who we were as people, was just too great to allow us both to be happy. Luckily I've improved at recognizing this process and been able to end relationships, and my partners have always seemed to understand, if not felt the same way. However, this same story can have a much more dangerous ending for others, and it is incredibly important for everyone to be able to recognize this self-doubt suppression cycle, whether you've had this experience before or not.
It is possible to feel a certain level of anxiety in a healthy relationship, and work past it with your partner. As long as the relationship is still serving everyone involved, and no one is being dishonest with the other, or themselves, it has worked before. However, when the unhappiness becomes so much that you begin to suppress valid feelings of worry or upset, you need to recognize that you're unhappy and reflect not just on whether it is worth remaining in the relationship, but also how you got to this point. If it was the Self-Discredation Cycle, I would encourage you to actively work on it, because it is learned behaviour and it won't always "go away with the right partner."
What You Can Do About It
I would encourage anyone who has experienced self-doubt issues and overthinking to focus on the importance of your own feelings and recognize the worth of your own happiness. Relationships take two to tango, and if only one partner is happy, no amount of suppression can make your unhappiness okay.
So look for the signs! If you have an argument, take note of how they react to (respectful) conflict instigation and resolution. If you find yourself self-soothing, try not to make it your go-to coping mechanism for all relationship unhappiness. Don't just forget about it if they never apologize, or if they always think they're right, or if they make you feel inferior in any way, even accidentally. If a song about toxic relationships reminds you of them, run. And above all, do not let your feelings get pushed aside by your own coping mechanisms—there are enough people out there who will make you feel inferior; you don't need to be one of them.

There is something happening in this area which, as a lifetime resident, concerns me: the shrinking and graying of the service organizations and churches that have been a vital part of this valley for more than 100 years.
I realize that with all the sports and other activities in the schools, parents are hard put to find time and/or money for anything else. And absolutely, schools will always need parent involvement. However, if your kids are no longer as time consuming and you could turn off the TV occasionally and stick your smart phone under a pillow, maybe you could find the time and energy to get involved.
These organizations need to promote themselves visually and otherwise in order to let people know who they are and what good they actually do! We need to preserve our identity as a community, not just be a bunch of people!

I, and many others, still wait for Evangelion 4.0, or Evangelion 3.0+1.0, or Evangelion:||, or whatever it will be called when it finally gets released. It has been a long wait but one I still have a lot of hope for.
To the best of my ability, there will be no narrative/plot spoilers for the Evangelion franchise...just thematic spoilers.
Anime has always had a place in my list of hobbies. While I initially loved the fantastical elements and fun animation, as I grew older I started to appreciate the various themes and ideas that some anime tackled*. One series that had a huge impact on my youth was Evangelion. While I watched the original series a few years after it was originally released, I was, like many fans, drawn in by the big robot battles and intriguing story, but later I fell for Shinji's plight. Hard.
When I first realized that one of Evangelion's themes was human connection, I could only note it with simple acknowledgement; 'Wow, these people sure are screwed up,' 'distance between a man and a woman huh,' 'so Ritsuko found her connection with mum.' It was all fine and adequate, but I signed up to Eva for big robots fighting big monsters. It was by episode 24 that I became extremely sympathetic to Shinji's situation, and the episode's end was quite the shocker...the sheer loss that Shinji must've felt loomed on my mind. Then I watched the the television versions of episode 25 and 26...and there was a sense of closure. Like Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura always says, "Everything will be alright."
When I watched End of Evangelion (EoE) soon after...oh boy. That film left me numb as hell. I wasn't quite sure what to think; was this the real ending? Just an alternate retelling? What? Why. Why did Hideaki Anno write this...
So I went online and read online discussions and things fell into place. While many have tried to explain their interpretations of EoE, the most basic theory was that it was written in response to some of the negative fan outcry over the television versions of 25 and 26, answering some questions while raising others. However, as it turns out EoE's ending was more in line with what was originally envisioned for the television series' end, but got changed due to budget (and censoring) issues.
Years later, the Rebuild movies were announced and released. 1.0 was a fun reminder that Evangelion was always about a boy's relationships with the people around him and his own journey about finding self-worth. 2.0 started the divergence of what the Rebuild movies were, while also giving Shinji a much needed confidence boost. Then silence. Myself amongst the fanbase, we waited for 3.0. We waited with bated breath to see where things would go.
I'm not sure anyone expected to get what we got. 3.0 wasn't just new, it was radically different. It was confusing, it was unexplained, it was a hot mess, it was beautiful (not just visually), it was pure, distilled Eva (of which has been wonderfully written about here, which is chock full of spoilers).
Side note: the AniTAY review for 3.0 is here, also full of spoilers.
After watching the movie, I wasn't sure what to make of it. Over time though, I started to appreciate it and now, I love it. The film has flaws, a lot of flaws. While I like the story that it tells, it is a hot mess from a narrative standpoint. However, it works because, as many have pointed out, the film puts higher priority on its themes than, well, anything else (and if you find that it isn't a coherent story, that's a perfectly understandable opinion).
As noted earlier, one of Evangelion's core themes has always been about interpersonal relationships: how people treat each other, how people need each other, how people depend on others to find meaning in life.
When the audience first meets Shinji, he's meek, nervous, unsure of himself. As he changes over the course of the series, his interpersonal relationships change as well and he comes to terms with his own life and his place in the world. He starts to define himself according to what others see him as: an Evangelion pilot, a peer, a friend. Of course, across all versions of the story, things change as he gets thrust into new and different situations.
In 3.0, we saw what would happen to Shinji when his place in the world was ripped away from him. Of course, he sought to find his place again; he tries to understand the situation, he asks questions, he demands answers, but he gets rebuffed at each turn.
Shinji is only able to start moving forward again by forging new relationships with the people around him. In time, he defines himself again through his new relationships. However, while he gets some answers and starts to ground himself in the new status quo, a part of him still wants to return to how things were. After all, it's safe and comforting in familiar territory. While I can only speak for myself, whenever I moved to a new country or city and didn't know anyone in the area, I would reminisce about the life and people I left behind. However, this wasn't always the case as the first time I moved abroad, I remember wanting to go back home to my friends and family very badly. To that, I can relate with Shinji's desire to return to his familiar life.
However, as time moved on, I realized that I couldn't go back to the familiar. Similarly, by the end of 3.0, the subtitle's lesson is violently taught to Shinji: you can not redo. He can not go back to how things once were, he can't keep living in the past. He has to look forward toward the future. He has to grow up and become an adult like everyone else.
3.0 was 2012. It has been 6, long, years.
I, and many others, still wait for Evangelion 4.0, or Evangelion 3.0+1.0, or Evangelion:||, or whatever it will be called when it finally gets released. It has been a long wait but one I still have a lot of hope for. I want to see where Anno decides to take Shinji for, presumably, the final film in the Rebuild series. How many answers will we get to the questions 3.0 raised? Which musical symbol is that at the end of the title (return and repeat or is it end)? Will there be a "good" end like the television series, or a "bad" end like End of Evangelion? Will Shinji realize he needs to grow up? Will he learn to not depend on others and stand on his own two feet?
Everyone else has walked onward by themselves, secure with their own independent selves. Shinji though, is still standing in the back, waiting for someone to tell him who he is and what to do.
Evangelion:|| currently does not have a scheduled release date, but is currently in production.

On March 23 a joint statement between the European Union and Ukraine was signed in Brussels. Generally, it was about the commitment of Western Europe to upgrade the Ukrainian gas pipeline and Ukraine's promise to further the renovation – by meeting the international standards in transparency and openness of the borrower appointed to modernize the gas transport system, by providing the third parties with the access to the underground gas storage facilities at the transparent commercial conditions and under the control of the regulatory body.
The Russian delegation left the conference while the statement was being signed. The official explanation: the signing hadn't been coordinated with Russia as a supplier. Among technical reasons the major one was: The Ukrainian gas transport system as part of the single system of gas supplies of the former Soviet Union, is technologically connected with the Russian gas transport system, and the trilateral agreement between Russia, the EU and Ukraine will enhance the security of the gas supply.
The real reason: Russia cannot put up with Ukraine's independence – either the political or economic one. It views Ukraine as its own backyard and blackmails a jellyfish of the West (the EU is even more softened in the heat of the economic downturn) with the disruption of gas deliveries. "If Russia's interests are ignored, we will have to begin revising the principles of our relations (with the West and Ukraine)," Putin said. Translating Russia's bombastic political "speak" into a pragmatic language will actually signify: we want to own the Ukrainian gas pipeline network.
I wonder if Ukraine as a sovereign country does not have the inalienable right to decide by itself with whom to sign which agreement. The point Russia has made is profoundly arrogant. Well, Russia keeps living up to its image of a political bear.

The American singer-songwriter – and superstar, some would say – started his career in the 1960s, cutting his teeth in New York's Greenwich Village and in California.
Jackson Browne's 1970s albums brought international commercial success and over the following decades he has maintained his reputation as a premier league songwriter and high profile environmentalist.
The opening part of the first set included many reflective songs, some related to his childhood and how he saw the world when he was growing-up.
Hall One was filled to the rafters, the audience listened attentively and Browne shared his feelings. "I am feeling a bit shy," he said. " Don't know why."
He went on to say that some artists, like Bob Dylan, never speak to the audience and sometimes he listens to his concert recordings and thinks that he says too much.
After commenting that everything was too quiet, people started calling out requests from Browne's huge back catalogue.
I had heard that some members of his usual touring band were not with him this time as they were already involved in other tours.
But this backing band was tremendous, sympathetically enhancing Browne's guitar and piano. I particularly enjoyed the keyboard player's delicate accompaniment.
One of the strengths of Jackson Browne's songwriting is his clarity. He is a passionate environmentalist and his message is clear: "They say nothing lasts forever… all the plastic made is still here..."
He finished his second set with Running On Empty and then returned with Take It Easy for an encore.
Both audience and seemingly Browne himself were delighted when he was allowed to perform a second encore. For A Dancer had people in tears.
Shyness apparently having abated, Browne told us how much he enjoyed the view of the bridges and the river from his hotel room.
Clearly he enjoyed his visit to Tyneside. For his audience it meant a moving and impressive performance.

When HVAC ducts run under the house.
What? Ducts that run under a slab? Ducts that run underground?
That was very common in the 60s and 70s in Virginia.
Can that be a problem?
Yes. Such duct work can break down over time and deteriorate.
This house was built with a ground-level slab. The HVAC duct work for the lower level ran entirely under the slab - entirely underground.
As such, and if deterioration occurs, the duct work can fill up with water and mud, and even various sorts of animalia that can get inside.
I have seen ducts fill with tree roots!
When full of water, if/when the heat or AC is running the water in the duct work itself will contribute huge amounts of moisture to the house. And that moisture can be laden with whatever microbial contribution that is amplifying inside the ducts!
Water staining can be seen in this particular duct and water has obviously sat in there in the past. And where did this mud and detritus come from?
Obviously such this duct work technique is not done anymore, at least in my area.
Can the deteriorating condition of underground duct work be remedied?
Again, yes. There are spray techniques that can coat and recondition underground ducts that have deteriorated or have filled with mud and moisture, and even molds.
My recommendation: sometimes when you buy an older house you will find techniques and products that are no longer done or used. Usually there are reasons for that! This is one technique that is rife with the potential for future problems, which can develop quickly or over time. And once such problems begin they don't simply stop or correct themselves. When problems develop a remedy might be considered - and should be considered sooner rather than later.

Previously: Scientists are casually ruining mice's brains.
"Researchers have found a way to make see-through mice, but you won't find these critters scampering in your kitchen.
The transparent rodents aren't alive and they're for research only, to help scientists study fine details of anatomy. Before they are treated with chemicals, the animals are euthanized and their skin removed. Researchers made their inner organs transparent, but not their bones."
"What's wrong, Carol?"
"I said, what's wrong? You've been distracted all morning."
Carol dropped the spoon against her coffee cup. It clattered, and she jumped. "It's nothing." She tried to laugh. "I'm just tired, I guess."
Janice scooted closer to Carol on the bench. "Carol. Come on. It's me here. What's really going on?" She pulled out a lighter from her pocket and casually singed the eyelids off an American white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), but its tiny screams didn't even elicit a chuckle from Carol.
Carol rubbed her eyes. "I just sometimes — sometimes I feel like we've run out of ways to fuck with mice."
Janice dropped the mouse, bleeding and twitching in agony, to the floor. "Carol?"
"Look, we both got into neuroscience for the same reason," Carol said, "to –"
"To see what kind of shit we could do to mice," Janice finished for her.
"Yeah," Carol said. "To see what kind of shit we could do to mice. Sometimes I worry we found them all. And the ones we already know about just don't thrill me anymore."
"Don't thrill you any more?" Janice asked. "What about when we tear off their feet and race them across flypaper?"
Carol smiled wanly.
"What about when we take out all of their blood and replace it with sand? What about when we–"
"I know," Carol said. "I know. It should still thrill me. But it doesn't." She stood up. "Maybe it's time I got out of the game. Let someone younger and hungrier about fucking with mice step in."
"Carol," Janice began, "I wasn't going to say anything about this until I was sure we had perfected the process. I was actually going to wait until your birthday. But I think you need to see what I've been working on."
"Okay," Carol said, but without much hope in her voice.
"Come with me." Janice led Carol over to a small walk-in closet and pushed back the curtains. "Take a look."
Carol gasped. Spread out on the table were row upon row of transparent, gelatinous mice bodies. "It's horrible," she breathed in disgust. "Janice, you're incredible. How did you do it?"
"Go ahead," Janice said. "Touch one."
Carol tentatively poked at the nearest twisted sack of gel-flesh and shuddered in delight as the material sprang back into place.
"It's fairly simple," Janice explained. "I pumped a series of chemicals through the blood vessels and spinal cords of regular mice…"
"Painful, corrosive chemicals?" Carol asked eagerly.
Janice chuckled. "Of course. And I created a series of mesh frameworks to keep the gel-tissue from collapsing and allowing the mice to escape into the merciful arms of death. Took about a week."
"And they're in unbelievable pain and confusion?" Carol said, grinning.
"Unimaginable," Janice said. "I wouldn't have made them any other way."
"Do you think–" Carol began, then stopped.
"What is it?"
"Do you think we could put them under the X-ray machine until they develop brain tumors?"
Janice smiled. That's my Carol. "Of course we can."

CRU is a dope group, this is from their classic and only album. They did a bit of every 90s style on their album, Tribe style jazz-rap, Jiggy Puffy beats, R&B, hardcore Hip Hop, even G-Funk and they did all of it brilliantly. On this track they have a cinematic sample pitched up and Mighty Ha filling in for ODB (which he does on the rest of the album too).
Lol Tragedy and Imam Thug were definitely listening to Ironman that year. Dope song though. Actually a bunch of CNN & Trag's shit in the late 90s is eerily Wu sounding.
Diverse & Vast Aire, 2 Wu influenced rappers rhyming over a nice flip of that Charmels sample.
I'm gonna think of some more, but I'm sure there's tons to choose from. Add on some more shit that sounds like Wu-Tang but isn't.

"After finding out that my baby's pancreas wasn't functioning properly, I was devastated, they said that she would need this medicine for life, at £80 cheaper than the vets I ordered it straight away. Safe to say it's working! My girl is like a different dog, she has bags of energy and is so perky. No more vomiting or icky sloppy poops in sight!

Incredible Restoration Resulting in Multiple Best of Show and Class Awards Including 2018 Werks Reunion. Nearly 40 Years of Known California Ownership.
1956 Porsche 356 Speedster
s/n 82660, engine no. P*62798*
Black with Red Leatherette with Black Piping
Exceptional engineering, iconic design, and remarkable motorsports leadership have all contributed to making Porsche a premier automotive performance manufacturer. Although their humble and cost-conscious beginnings were the foundation of the Porsche brand, they developed into an uncompromised motorsports and production sportscar leader, delivering the highest level of quality and excellence. By the early 1950's Porsche cars were making their mark in America when distributor Max Hoffman asked Porsche to develop a sportscar to compete against lower priced Triumphs and MGs. Porsche responded, building a car with essential performance traits, sparse features, and unprecedented reliability. The result was the now iconic Porsche Speedster; a name that continues to imbue performance and excitement. The Speedster was uniquely outfitted with a lowered windscreen, no side glass, minimal trim, and performance components, all of which culminated in surprisingly strong sales, particularly in the United States, where year after year, Speedsters won the hearts of racers and enthusiasts alike. Today the remarkable 356 Speedster still holds a leading position as a premiere vintage Porsche, not only amongst enthusiasts but frequently cited by historians, designers, and motorsports journalists as one of the most influential sports cars of twentieth century.
This 356 Speedster is an excellent example of how visually intoxicating these cars can be. Finished in stunning black over red, this Porsche has been under long term California and New Mexico ownership dating back to the 1980s. Benefiting from dry climate, the 2016 restoration began by media blasting the paint using walnut shell in order to gently remove the paint without damaging the original body. Minimal rust was found after media blasting, making it possible to retain 90% of the factory original sheet metal and body panels, while professionally addressing the small rust areas, according to the owner. With proper metal work completed, the body surfacing and paint finish were completed using PPG products, including a PPG single stage paint for the gleaming black finish. Originally delivered from the factory in red with black interior, the owner decided to reverse the colors to create this dramatic result. During the restoration, every effort was made to remove and carefully recondition as many original parts rather than use reproduction parts, resulting in excellent fit of the original parts to the factory sheet metal in addition to retaining the originality of the car.
Addressing the mechanical systems in the car, all areas were carefully reviewed and comprehensively restored to a high level of finish with some upgraded allowances to make this Speedster an excellent driving car. A correct date range 1600cc engine (#62798) replaced the original and was comprehensively rebuilt using a B crank, B rods, C camshaft with 912 lifters, 1720 cc JE pistons, 9:1 compression ratio, and Super heads. The carburetor venturis were bored to 28mm and re-jetted for better fuel flow and throttle response. A later series ZF gearbox was rebuilt with coupe gearing (BBBC) which greatly favors highway driving. During the restoration, the wiring harness was removed and a new one installed with conversion to 12-volt system.
Upon completion, this beautiful Speedster was shown at the following venues achieving awards consistent with the excellent workmanship and attention to detail befitting a restoration of this caliber.
2018 First in Class and Best of Show
356 North Meets South, San Luis Obispo, CA
2018 Finished Second Overall
Tie breaker against 20 356 models
Werks Reunion, Monterey, CA
2017 First of all Speedsters and Second Overall
Ocean Avenue Concours, Carmel. CA
Today this Speedster presents in dramatic black over red with excellent finishes throughout. The finish is glossy, smoothly applied, and has excellent depth. There are no significant visible paint flaws, just a few very minor blemishes evident upon closer examination at the front of the car. The quality of the paint is not only well done, the body lines and reflections are exceptional, particularly in highly reflective black. The panel gaps and fit are excellent in all areas, opening and closing properly, particularly the doors, which shut with a distinctive and satisfying precision clasp and show excellent fit even at the bottom cut lines, which again speaks well of the original sheet metal having been preserved and properly restored. The original engine lid and hood are stamped with the matching numbers and both panels fit very nicely to the original body. The characteristic 356 "smile" encircling the hood opening surrounds the fascia with delightful symmetry. Glass, lenses, double beehive tail lights, emblems, and trim are all quintessentially Porsche and restored to a very high level in both fit and finish, further supporting the high quality of the restoration. The gleaming smooth chrome-domed hubcaps accent against correctly painted silver wheels shod with a set of Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The painted bumpers and polished gold Speedster script lettering complete the exterior with a befitting dash of performance elegance.
The interior is beautifully finished with correct materials including proper weave carpeting and high-quality red leatherette expertly tailored over correct Speedster seats. The seats are finished with black piping carefully outlining the seat perimeter, bolstered with correct padding and proper fit to the uniquely contoured Speedster seats. The top of the dash, door panels, and cockpit perimeter are trimmed in red leatherette as well, delivering a competition feel to the interior. The red dash pad over the gloss black fascia contributes to the unique and purposeful look. The instruments are gorgeous in color and finish, having been faithfully restored with correct green indication, excellent color, and proper needles. As mentioned before, the ivory colored interior components are just a few of the original pieces retained during the restoration, including the gearshift knob, various switch knobs, and door handle escutcheons all of which are handsomely hued to reflect years of loving use. The elegant and clean dashboard is finished off with a handsome wood rimmed Fiat Nardi period correct steering wheel, according to the owner, with polished aluminum spokes and a gleaming Porsche center crest emblem. The ribbed black rubber floor mat shows only minor use. Throughout the interior, all materials offer a unified appearance and excellent fit and finish further supported by the awards bestowed on this Speedster since the 2016 restoration was completed.
The engine compartment continues the theme of excellence having been faithfully restored using correct factory finishes, proper hardware and fittings, correct factory decals, hoses, wiring, and linkages. The engine has been fitted with correct details but upgraded internally for improved performance and durability. Attention to detail extends to the proper finishes on the raw engine castings and correctly painted components, all of which are showing virtually no evidence of use. Under the front storage compartment, the correct Speedster VIN number is stamped in the structural support apron. Finishes in the front compartment are factory correct and nicely executed including a matching Vredestein Sprint Classic spare tire and rim, properly strapped in place, accompanied by a tool roll and tools. The transmission gearing has been changed to a 356 Coupe (BBBC) gearing. The underside of the car is further reflective of the high-quality restoration executed with originality in mind including correct finishes and components, excellent engine and gearbox castings, and proper suspension and brake components. There is no evidence of structural compromise or significant metal work performed on the floor pan, supporting the long-term dry climate ownership dating back to the 1980s.
This beautiful Speedster starts reliably and easily, settling into a smooth idle, as it warms to operating temperatures. Easing into the Speedster seats, the car captures you, pulling you into the chassis, immediately connecting you to the car. The gearbox operates wonderfully up and down with smooth synchros, warm or cold and excellent clutch travel. Driving position is just right even for taller drivers, hunkered down but with great visibility. The car accelerates swiftly with excellent road composure and overall ride quality. The driving experience communicates all the pleasure and satisfaction that a properly restored 356 is capable of offering, with the added confidence of the original body construction. The properly jetted carburetors deliver snappy response as the revs climb progressively without hesitation or misfire. Braking is very capable in modern traffic under a firm, tall pedal with symmetrical tracking. The car comes with a tool roll and tools which are 95% original.
Beautifully designed and sought after by collectors all over the world, the iconic Porsche 356 Speedster remains one of the most engaging sports cars of the modern era. With its quintessential looks, stunning colors, and high-quality restoration, this award-winning Porsche 356 Speedster is ready to deliver further years of Porsche excellence and superlative driving enjoyment.
This Speedster is titled as a 1957 year model.

The kitchen in the division of Culinary Arts and Hospitality Administration received a generous gift: renovations to the kitchen and bakery.
Most students know Cuddy Hall to have the Daily Grind, the commons area, the marketplace and Lucy's Restaurant. But there is more than meets the eye that many students don't get to see. Adjunct to Lucy's is a professional kitchen with students busying around. They're pushing carts and placing pans on the stove; there's a classroom area prepared for class; a small area to make drinks and a sweet-smelling bakery with chocolate frosting in piping bags on the counter. These areas were under brief renovation through this past summer, thanks to a financial gift received years ago from Holland America Group.
The money gifted was originally going to be used for different renovations that have already been started, but the last few steps fell through. It was then decided to be used to benefit the students and program by upgrading the kitchen.
The upgrades include a new frontline with refrigeration underneath, hot steam wells to keep sauces warm and a double hot window so students can keep the plates warm before serving.
The bakery got rid of an "archaic" oven, freeing up space, and received a new, double-stacked convection oven, a remodeled cooler and freezer. It also had floors, doors and seals replaced and a new coat of paint.
"We just gave it this much-needed face-lift," Naomi Everett, interim chair and associate professor, said. "It's far more modern."
Everett said that the new renovations will allow culinary students to learn with the types of kitchens that would be used in today's facilities.
"If we can better the kitchen, then the education and how they're learning — if it can replicate what they're going to be seeing in the industry — is going to be a lot better," Everett said.
The division is doing well, she also said. They just finished a fundraiser and have started up the bakery cart again. The cart is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9 – 11 a.m., right in front of Lucy's inside Cuddy Hall. The bakery cart offers fresh baked goods from cupcakes to croissants to macaroons for a few dollars.
Sarah Cook, a junior in the culinary arts program, said she has been enjoying her years as a chef-in-training.
"[My favorite part] has been learning — just learning everything I didn't know before," she said.
The culinary students do seven-week intervals of learning the kitchen and cooking side, then learning the baking side so they're fully immersed and focusing on one area before switching to the other.
Tasha Quiett, senior student, has been able to put her learned skills to work as the lab assistant.
"I've really loved getting into the world of baking. I started wanting to cook and ended up in baking," Quiett said. "I've enjoyed using what I've learned to teach other students what I love."
Students get to create a menu and serve diners at Lucy's, which is open Tuesday through Friday for lunch. They accept walk-ins, but reservations can also be made at OpenTable.com.
