Have you ever seen a bagged RunX TRD before? If your answer is no, then check out the very first bagged RunX TRD in SA.

If you are a Toyota fan, you would know that the RunX TRD was a special limited edition of which only 200 were manufactured in South Africa. Holding its value 9 years later, with people still willing to pay the price, it is definitely one of the rare jewels in the Toyota family.

The lucky 200 people that did manage to obtain one, treated it like gold. Most of them are preserved in its original state as it came from factory. Four years ago I was lucky enough to find one like this. A RunX fan and with this being my third one, I secured the deal before you could say Jack Robinson.

For those of you that have been following me for some time now, you will now that I don’t believe in OEM. Yes I could do OEM+ at times but addicted to the life of stance, I found myself going down a path of no return. I could never be content with the standard look, and my Project TRD had just begun.

Fitted with only the best, AirLift Performance (from Air Spring Supply Company) was my choice for bagging. With AirLift Performance not supplying kits for the RunX, I had to buy a universal set and modify it to work for me. Fitted with 2 VIAIR Compressors, solenoid management system with remote, it takes just a touch of a button to slam it down to earth.

Having a car that is not short of power, there is not much tinkering that needs to be done to the engine. However, I opted for an INJEN Cold Air Induction System to help it breathe a little better, with a 63mm free flow exhaust.

My current choice of wheels are a set of 17-inch fiteen52 Formula TR replica wheels with 185/35/17 Nankang Tyres that gave that perfect “no wheel gap”. Unlike most cars with a double din or mp3 player, I decided to be unique and had a Samsung 7 inch Tablet fitted running of a JVC DVD Player.

Future plans?? Apart from changing wheels, I would say none. I always believe in less is more and in my opinion I think it’s on point.

The Wild Coast Sun Drift Expo took place on Saturday, 5th March 2016 at the Wild Coast Sun Casino and Resort. It was the second drift event for the Wild Coast Sun with the first one taking place last August which was a huge success – it had to be done again. I was privileged to cover the event for the second time round for Gas Magazine

With South Africa’s favourite MC, Vic Pardal keeping the crowds entertained, a few of the highlights of the day were full circuit drifting and a skid pan for spectators to go on suicide runs in a Chev Lumina drift car. If you are a fan of screeching tyres, the smell of burning rubber and sounds of the roaring drift cars, it was a place you had to be.

A phenomenal range of drift cars were on display, few to mention were R33s, R34s, S13s, S14s and a few Supras. Apart from the drifting, a show ‘n shine competition and sound off was held by Vicious Cars and Powerhouse Auto & Towing. Air rides, static rides and funky wheels were the highlight’s of the show, not forgetting a few super cars.

Spectators got the chance to view some of the leading brands in their industry, exhibiting their goods, few to mention were Air Spring Supply Company, The Wheel Emporium, Durban used spares, CPI Performance Tuning, and Salvage car dealers.

Crowds were sure to get famished with all the drooling they had to endure and for that food stalls such as Danny’s House of Curry, Golden Moon Spur, and Corn Dog Café were present to assist.

With coverage from The Ignition TV Crew, Thrill Seekers, Gas Magazine, Streamline Culture, various newspapers and motoring bloggers, it was sure to be the talk of the town.

Taking part in the top 16 were:
1. Gavin Puren
2. Paolo Gouviea
3. Brenden Puren
4. Shain Ferreira
5. Eric van Eyssen
6. Morné Venter
7. Nick Frey
8. Tyler Wessels
9. Joey Govender
10. André Barnard
11. Mark Goodall
12. Jean Maré
13. David Rae
14. Johnathan Plowman
15. Luke Meyer
16. Trevor Puren

Reaching the finals was Paolo Gouveia vs Gavin Puren. Both drivers were remarkable and the crowds loved them both however one of them had to take the victory in the end and Gavin Puren was the one awarded driver of the day.

The event was headed by The Wild Coast Sun’s Claude Naidoo who could be seeing on his golf cart driving around all day making sure everything was going smoothly. Planning for the next Drift Expo is already in the pipelines and fans can expect to be blown away by a 40 car drift line-up. Be sure not to miss out on this thrilling action next time….

How to Organize Hand Me Down Kid Clothes

How to organize kid clothes and hand-me-downs

Are hand-me-down clothes a blessing or an organizational curse?

The truth is probably both!

It is really great to get hand-me-downs from friends or family members.

It can save both time and money – sometimes!

If the hand-me-downs are not stored and organized in the right way, they can be a bit of a nightmare to deal with.

The key to making the best use of hand-me-downs is to know what you have and know where they are.

In other words, you have to organize hand-me-downs in order to use them to the fullest.

Otherwise there’s the risk of purchasing duplicate items and that would partially defeats the purpose of the hand-me-down concept.

So how do you make the best use of hand-me-downs?

Read on to discover the best techniques for organizing hand me down clothes for kids in four easy steps.

Step 1: Sort

Sort through what you have and divide clothes, toys and books into ages and stages.

Makes piles by size for clothing.

Step 2: Review

Determine what you’re going to keep.

Look for stains, rips, tears and items that are too worn out to keep.

Also keep in mind the styles of clothing your children prefer to wear.

Weed out these items now instead of waiting to get rid of them later.

Make sure to really evaluate what you want to keep and what your child will actually wear or use.

Pass along to others anything that your kiddos won’t use.

Put outfits together and note what you need to complete an outfit.

Too many separates makes for a messy closet!

Step 3: Containerize & Label

My favorite storage solution for hand-me-downs are large Rubbermaid roughneck totes since they’re large enough to hold about one size of clothes for all seasons until about size 8.

They’re easy to label and update the labels as the contents change.

Even when stuffed, it’s not hard to move and stack them.

Plus, the totes seal nicely, and keep the contents dry and clean.

Make sure to label the container so that it won’t have to be opened to see what is inside.

I like to label the containers with the size of clothing inside, or the type of book (board, chapter, etc.).

Need a fantastic set of labels to make this whole task even easier?

Check out this nifty kid clothing organizing kit I’ve designed.

It has an awesome inventory system so you’ll never forget what clothing you already have on hand.

Also makes labeling the storage bins a breeze!

Step 4: Stow & Store

Finally, put the bins into storage until you need them.

They’ll be ready to use then, and you’ll thank yourself for being so organized!

Make sure to visit your bins as the seasons change or your children begin to outgrow their current wardrobe.

Over to you!

Are you blessed or cursed with hand-me-downs?

No matter how you feel, now you know how to keep them organized!SaveSave

Neurological Disorders and Neuroplasticity

Neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. In alternative words, the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. These disorders embody epilepsy, Alzheimer's sickness, and alternative dementias, vessel diseases also as stroke, migraine, and alternative headache disorders, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's illness, neuroinfections, brain tumours, traumatic disorders of the systema nervosum due to head trauma, and neurological disorders as a results of malnutrition. Neuroplasticity is that the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity permits the neurons within the brain to catch up on injury and illness and to manage their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment.

St. Matthews Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in St. Matthews, SC

After a crash, an injured motorcyclist should protect their legal rights and discuss the accident with a St. Matthews motorcycle accident attorney. Strom Law Firm has represented many victims injured in motorcycle, tractor-trailer, and other traffic-related accidents. We understand motorcyclist’s risks, and we work diligently to hold negligent parties accountable. Please contact our office if you would like to discuss possible representation.

Motorcyclists enjoy riding South Carolina roads and highways yearlong in our state’s beautifully warm climate. Riding motorcycles can undoubtedly be fun and efficient, but the activity can also be dangerous. Motorcyclists in St. Matthews are exposed and vulnerable if they collide with other larger vehicles and are also susceptible to single-vehicle accidents due to the condition of the road.

St. Matthews Motorcycle Accident AttorneyIndeed, all drivers in St. Matthews should understand that they must safely share the road with motorcyclists. But there are still negligent and dangerous drivers out there. Defective bikes, construction, and other hazardous road hazards also pose significant risks to motorcyclists.

Severe Injuries Occur During Motorcycle Accidents

There are many types of safety gear designed to protect motorcyclists. However, even a motorcyclist wearing maximum protective gear is never fully shielded from the possibility of a serious injury if a crash occurs. Even a helmet cannot fully protect from head trauma one hundred percent of the time.

Motorcyclists do not have the safety features of a car or truck to protect them, and instead, a car can collide directly with a motorcyclist’s body. While a motorcyclist may be completely under control, it is never possible to control other vehicles or to ensure that vehicles can accurately identify motorcycles on roadways.

The following are examples of injuries commonly resulting from motorcycle accidents:

It is rare that a motorcyclist will not require some amount of medical care following an accident, and they often need to be transported to a hospital by ambulance. Expenses can add up quickly. Fortunately, the law provides a remedy for an injured accident victim to seek compensation from negligent, grossly negligent, or reckless parties.

Who Caused Your Motorcycle Accident?

In motorcycle cases, a liable party is often one of three types:

  • Drivers– Whether they are driving while distracted, driving under the influence, failing to yield, or engaging in other negligent actions, drivers should be held accountable for causing injury to motorcyclists.
  • Government entities– Government agencies maintain public roads and highways. They sometimes undertake this responsibility by engaging contractors, and they must do so in a reasonable manner. If roadwork is neglected or performed negligently, Strom Law Firm St. Matthews Motorcycle Accident Attorneys will work to hold them all accountable.
  • Motorcycle manufacturers– Sometimes, manufacturers build motorcycles with defects or defective parts. If such defects are determined to be the cause of an accident, the manufacturer can be held liable.

The process of filing and litigating a motorcycle accident case will depend on the type of party from whom recovery is sought, the severity of injuries, and other factors. We understand the complex legal issues that arise in each type of personal injury case, and we want to help after your motorcycle accident.

Learn How Our St. Matthews Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Can Assist You

Motorcycle accidents can leave devastating injuries in their wake, causing untold emotional, financial, and personal devastation to families and individuals. If you have been injured in a motorcycle crash in St. Matthews, Calhoun County, or anywhere else across South Carolina, contact us. We offer free case evaluations, and we do not collect a fee unless we recover for you. Contact the experienced legal team of St. Matthews Motorcycle Accident Attorneys at Strom Law Firm in Columbia at 803-252-4800 or online and find out if we are able to help you.

Since its inception in 1999, the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has funded the dreams of South African youth across all races, cultures, regions and gender. In 2013, NSFAS contributed R8.5 billion to fund the tertiary education of deserving and needy students. 430000 students received NSFAS support in 2014 and were able to further their education.

NSFAS assists students by providing loans to students whose families cannot afford to pay the entire tuition and residential fee amount and even allows for a book allowance if there is a need for it. But how does a NSFAS loan work?

NSFAS Do’s & Don’ts:

– Apply as soon as possible. You can apply online at www.nsfas.org.za or enquire directly at the student funding office. Do not wait for feedback from potential bursary sources. In case other bursars do not come through, you will have something to fall back on and if you are awarded a bursary, you should inform NSFAS who will then be able to assist another deserving student.

– Deadlines per institution differ so ensure you are aware of what you need to submit and by when. You have to re-apply each year thus ensure that you have certified copies of all the documents you may need at hand.

– Complete each and every single section of the application form with honesty. By being untruthful you might lose the chance of being funded and take away the opportunity to someone who really deserves it. Do not misrepresent your circumstances as an NSFAS investigator might be alerted to these.

– Circumstances change, so if you do not receive funding, you can always try again next year. And if your circumstances improve let NSFAS know that they lessen the loan amount.

– Continue to monitor other potential bursaries and funding options. Due to a shortfall in funds, the statutory body allowed for only a maximum of R64000 to be paid out per student. If need be take up a part time job not only for the experience but also to help fund books or travel costs.

– Understand this is a loan and not a bursary. If you fail you are legally obligated to pay back the loan amount. NSFAS does not require a parent or guardian to sign as a surety for the loan but does however require your parents or guardian’s payslips and an affidavit if they are unemployed.

– NSFAS rewards hard work and depending on your results at the end of the year may turn a specific amount of the loan into a bursary. If you pass your final year, NSFAS will turn the loan amount for your final year into a bursary.

– As like with any other loan, you need to start paying back your loan as soon as you start working. Your loan repayments help fund the deserving students that come after you. The onus is on you as a responsible citizen to enquire about the amount that is due and to start working on a repayment plan.

Argument for Paying College Athletes sample essay

Have you ever heard of a business that made billions of dollars, yet did not pay their employees? Seems pretty remarkable doesn’t it? Well this business is known as the NCAA. According to an article in the New York Times, the NCAA made $770 million from just the three-week Men’s Basketball Tournament, but how much did the athletes who participated in said tournament receive? If you said zero then you would be correct. The athletes that poured their blood, sweat and tears into practice everyday and into the 30 plus game regular season did not see a dime. It is hard to fathom how an industry of this size can make so much money, yet not allow the athletes that help them make that money see any dividends.

Being a college athlete myself, I have lived the struggle of trying to maintain grades, while going to practice and games during the week. Imagine trying to keep a job during this hectic schedule. It is hard for college athletes to find extra money to get a pizza or go see a movie. It is especially hard for athletes coming from tough backgrounds. Two out of every five Division I athletes come from single parent homes and athletics are their only opportunity to provide a future for themselves and their families. It is not easy for these students to get jobs because their schedules are already full. For example, many division I football teams practice twice a day. A day for a division I football player could look like this: practice-6 a.m., class-9 a.m., class-11 a.m., and practice-2 a.m.

By the time they are done with the second practice of the day their day is practically over. They still have to eat dinner and possibly do homework. This leaves no time to get even a part-time job. It also raises the question of how these athletes obtain extra spending money? If you are an athlete like Johnny Manziel, who comes from a rich oil family, money comes easily and is not a concern. For those who are less fortunate and come from a single parent home or from a poor household the money does not come easily. So when a coach approaches and says, “Hey, let me buy you lunch,” many kids do not think twice and accept the $20. This goes against NCAA rules and if found out there is an investigation which could result in a suspension.

College athletes can observe while walking to class or on the field students wearing jerseys with their name and number on them. Schools can charge anywhere from $50-$70 for a jersey like that, and where does that money go? It goes directly to the school and the athlete whose jersey is being worn all around campus will not see a dime of it. In the early 90’s while the Fab Five was at the University of Michigan, Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson started a college basketball revolution. Michigan became the first school to ever start five freshman in a college basketball game. These five wore baggy shorts and black socks. They took the nation by storm and soon Michigan merchandise was flying off the shelf. None of the Fab Five saw any compensation and when they took notice of what was happening they started to question why. It is well documented in the ESPN film The Fab Five; all five wondered why they were not seeing any dividends from all the merchandise being sold. Jalen Rose came from a rough neighborhood in Detroit, so he fell into the category of the struggling college athlete. He admits during the film to taking money at times to buy pizza.

Current Houston Texans running back Arian Foster said he received money on the side while he attended the University of Tennessee. In a recent Sports Illustrated article he said, “ I don’t know if this will throw us into an NCAA investigation—my senior year, I was getting money on the side (Sports Illustrated, 2013).” He went on to say, “I really didn’t have any money. I had to either pay the rent or buy some food. I remember the feeling of like, ‘Man, be careful.’ But there’s nothing wrong with it. And you’re not going to convince me that there is something wrong with it (SI, 2013).” This is the feeling of many college athletes that were in the same boat or that are currently in the boat.

They may not know where their next meal is coming from or how they are going to afford a car payment. Many will take money and not even question it. They know what they are doing is wrong and they are putting themselves and the school in jeopardy. At the time the reward is worth the risk they are taking. There are many other cases happening across the country that no one knows about. It is interesting how Foster came out and said how he felt that it was not a big deal and that he did not think he was doing anything wrong. He would fall into a large percent of college athletes that feel it is unfair for them to not see anything from all the revenue they bring in.

Many will argue that college athletes do not need to be compensated because they are student-athletes; and the key word for them is student. One argument against paying college athletes is that they are basically receiving a free education from a top school. A four-year scholarship will cover everything a student-athlete needs. This includes: tuition, room and board, books, medical coverage and meals. For example, Duke University costs $57,180 to attend (Bleacher Report, 2013).

Those on an athletic scholarship at Duke are receiving a high quality education and are paying practically nothing for it. This is the main argument that those against paying student-athletes use. Most college athletes will not turn professional and therefore will need the degree from whatever school they attend to obtain a job after graduation. Those who are talented enough to be drafted into the professional ranks of their sport will sometimes forgo obtaining their degree in favor of the money offered at the professional level. The downside to this is that an injury can end their career before it even starts; and those that did not obtain their degree will struggle to find a source of income if they are forced to quit or retire from their sport.

Another argument used is that student-athletes are not really worth anything until they reach the professional ranks (Bleacher Report, 2013). Those who use this argument believe that if a student-athlete is good enough to get paid then they will be compensated when the time is right. However, this overlooks the efforts of athletes who play all throughout college, yet do not make it to the professional level. There are many other arguments used but a common one is paying college athletes will not eliminate scandals. Scandals are not new to college sports. There have been numerous point shaving scandals and the argument is that even paying college athletes will not stop those scandals from happening.

Paying college athletes is a hotly debated topic and will be so for the foreseeable future. There will be well made arguments for both sides; but in the end college athletes need to receive some sort of compensation. With all the revenue they bring the school there needs to be a system in place to give a kickback to the athletes. There are many ideas and plans that can be put in place to give some sort of compensation. Student athletes will not have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. It is up to the NCAA and the schools to come up with a system and stick by it.

when can the government quarantine its citizens?

Slate | When someone has been exposed to diphtheria, infectious tuberculosis, yellow fever, viral hemorrhagic fevers, SARS, and a new strain of influenza with pandemic potential. That's the federal government's list, which changes only by executive order; states may have their own. Patients who have actually been infected, like the Atlanta man [Andrew Speaker], are technically under "isolation," not quarantine.

The federal government took responsibility for isolating Speaker because his plane travel made his case an interstate and international health threat. Normally, the states have primary responsibility for quarantine and isolation. Some state laws specify which illnesses require quarantine, while others focus on public-health threats in general. In Louisiana, health officials need permission from a judge before confining a patient. Any people in Minnesota who lose their jobs because of a quarantine or isolation can sue their employers.

States have been broadening their public-health powers in recent years because of bioterrorism and pandemic fears. Sometimes a state will amend its laws to deal with a specific crisis. For instance, Alaska had to pass an amendment during the SARS scare to be able to quarantine and investigate a docked ship.

In certain states, disobeying a quarantine or isolation order can put you behind bars. A 27-year-old man in Arizona diagnosed with the same deadly strain of [tuberculosis] has been quarantined in a prison hospital ward for the past 10 months; state officials said they put Robert Daniels there because he failed to take his medicine and endangered others by going out and entertaining friends without wearing a mask.

But in general, the government rarely has to exercise these powers, because most of the time, citizens cooperate. In fact, until this recent situation, the CDC hadn't issued such an order since 1963, when it quarantined a woman for smallpox exposure.* Even during the SARS epidemic in 2003, officials relied mostly on voluntary isolation and quarantine. And the last large-scale quarantine in the United States took place during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918-19.

Bonus Explainer: What happens in isolation? A patient often lives in a room with negative air pressure to prevent disease from spreading; an ultraviolet light may kill potential pathogens as they're sucked through a HEPA filter. Visitors must wear masks or, in some cases, sterile full-body suits.

necropolitics: freedom fries structure, meaning, self-worth and dignity...,

truthdig |  Becoming a holy warrior, a jihadist, a champion of an absolute and pure ideal, is an intoxicating conversion, a kind of rebirth that brings a sense of power and importance. It is as familiar to an Islamic jihadist as it was to a member of the Red Brigades or the old fascist and communist parties. Converts to any absolute ideal that promises to usher in a utopia adopt a Manichaean view of history rife with bizarre conspiracy theories. Opposing and even benign forces are endowed with hidden malevolence. The converts believe they live in a binary universe divided between good and evil, the pure and the impure. As champions of the good and the pure they sanctify their own victimhood and demonize all nonbelievers. They believe they are anointed to change history. And they embrace a hypermasculine violence that is viewed as a cleansing agent for the world’s contaminants, including those people who belong to other belief systems, races and cultures. This is why France’s far right, organized around Marine Le Pen, the leader of the anti-immigrant Front National, has so much in common with the jihadists whom Le Pen says she wants to annihilate.

When you sink to despair, when you live trapped in Gaza, Israel’s vast open-air prison, sleeping 10 to a floor in a concrete hovel, walking every morning through the muddy streets of your refugee camp to get a bottle of water because the water that flows from your tap is toxic, lining up at a U.N. office to get a little food because there is no work and your family is hungry, suffering the periodic aerial bombardments by Israel that leaves hundreds of dead, your religion is all you have left. Muslim prayer, held five times a day, gives you your only sense of structure and meaning, and, most importantly, self-worth. And when the privileged of the world ridicule the one thing that provides you with dignity, you react with inchoate fury. This fury is exacerbated when you and nearly everyone around you feel powerless to respond.

The cartoons of the Prophet in the Paris-based satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo are offensive and juvenile. None of them are funny. And they expose a grotesque double standard when it comes to Muslims. In France a Holocaust denier, or someone who denies the Armenian genocide, can be imprisoned for a year and forced to pay a $60,000 fine. It is a criminal act in France to mock the Holocaust the way Charlie Hebdo mocked Islam. French high school students must be taught about the Nazi persecution of the Jews, but these same students read almost nothing in their textbooks about the widespread French atrocities, including a death toll among Algerians that some sources set at more than 1 million, in the Algerian war for independence against colonial France. French law bans the public wearing of the burqa, a body covering for women that includes a mesh over the face, as well as the niqab, a full veil that has a small slit for the eyes. Women who wear these in public can be arrested, fined the equivalent of about $200 and forced to carry out community service. France banned rallies in support of the Palestinians last summer when Israel was carrying out daily airstrikes in Gaza that resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths. The message to Muslims is clear: Your traditions, history and suffering do not matter. Your story will not be heard. Joe Sacco had the courage to make this point in panels he drew for the Guardian newspaper. And as Sacco pointed out, if we cannot hear these stories we will endlessly trade state terror for terror.

“It is a sad state of affairs when Liberty means the freedom to insult, demean and mock people’s most sacred concepts,” the Islamic scholar Hamza Yusuf, an American who lives in California, told me in an email. “In some Latin countries people are acquitted for murders where the defendant’s mother was slandered by the one he murdered. I saw this in Spain many years ago. It’s no excuse for murder, but it explains things in terms of honor, which no longer means anything in the West. Ireland is a western country that still retains some of that, and it was the Irish dueling laws that were used in Kentucky, the last State in the Union to make dueling outlawed. Dueling was once very prominent in the West when honor meant something deep in the soul of men. Now we are not allowed to feel insulted by anything other than a racial slur, which means less to a deeply religious person than an attack on his or her religion. Muslim countries are still governed, as you well know, by shame and honor codes. Religion is the big one. I was saddened by the ‘I’m Charlie’ tweets and posters, because while I’m definitely not in sympathy with those misguided fools [the gunmen who invaded the newspaper], I have no feeling of solidarity with mockers.”

Charlie Hebdo, despite its insistence that it targets all equally, fired an artist and writer in 2008 for an article it deemed to be anti-Semitic. Fist tap Vic.

Echo-Bravo-Tango... Really Dawnie? You're looking at getting another smack upside the head...

CNu said...

lol, give BD props for staying true to his cherished dog-whistle terms and simultaneously creeping around my filter for the same. Look, all that's interesting here is the way in which the narrative under which 15% of able-bodied citizens no longer needed for non-existent manufacturing jobs have been and will continue to be liquidated.

Since BD's piss-poor ROI DoD can't possibly go toe-to-toe with Russia or China because both have major standing armies not afraid to fight and substantial nuclear arsenals to back up the conventional fight, all's that's left is some or another pogrom under which musical chairs on the deck of the Titanic can be reshuffled.

The Amerinazi program is an interesting phenomenon and its unabashed adherents even moreso.

Dale Asberry said...

Lol, that was props! No smack delivered, only a warning ;-)

And the whole David Brooks article, priceless.comedy.gold!

Vic78 said...

What would life be like without David Brooks? He normally tells us there isn't blood on his hands. Today, he finally admits he has blood on his hands. I bet his next column goes back to denial or fighting his war on the 60s.

CNu said...

lol&smdh, dayyum you cats is hard..., Brooks was on Meet the Press this sunday making cryptic reference to Omelas. No telling how he's spending his time now that he's been busted back down to the rank of a single man, on his own, and back into the thick of strange new thangs.

There's more to that story than meets the eye, however. You saw what happened when Russell Brand stripped off the Morning Joe crew's carefully practiced masks and reduced them to so many developmentally arrested little fuzzballs. Le Guinn is on point about what has to happen to essence/conscience in order for blithe little Eichmans to flourish.

Mebbe Brooks try'na straddle the high electrified fence of Panem, keep his capital paycheck (still gotta make those alimony payments) while ever so gently signalling what's up to those who may be capable of walking away?

Please note that due to the pandemic currently being allowed to run out of control, many pubs are having to close temporarily due to staff or customers getting "pinged". Please check with the pubs if you plan to travel any distance.

Closed 1853?

For sale, The Plough Beer House in Stoke by Nayland.Ipswich Journal, June 26th 1853**

Virtually nothing is known about this pub except the reference in the Ipswich Journal - please contact Nigel if you have more details.

It seems most likely that this is actually the Leavenheath Plough which would probably have been in Stoke by Nayland before boundary changes.

The Michelin-starred chef (turned avid cyclist) has given us the low-down on where to eat, stay and play along the Cornish coastline. Whether you’re a saddle-sore pro or a basket-bike type who pootles along sandy paths, hop on two wheels and get pedalling.

Forget banana bread baking, 2021's hobby of choice is cycling. We're keen to set the wheels in motion and feel the wind in our hair as we whizz past blurry landscapes. In a bid to discover Cornwall's lesser-trodden trails, from pit-stops to surf-sports, we've called upon avid cyclist chef Paul Ainsworth.

Here, the Michelin-starred chef shares his favourite picnic spots, Cornwall's best cyclist friendly routes and most importantly, where to stop for fuel (read: snacks). You'll be dusting off your wheels quicker than Bradley Wiggins can cycle the Zig Zag.

Crowd-free beaches, cycling trails and pint pit-stops: a chef's guide to cycling Cornwall

When's the best time to visit Cornwall?

Cornwall is beautiful all year round and the way it changes with the seasons is fantastic. If I had to choose, I'd probably come down in autumn. I love the roughness, the way the sea swells, and the empty beaches. In spring when the weather starts to warm up, both the colour of the trees and the sea changes, and the flowers bloom. It looks like a completely different place.

You're an avid cyclist, share with us some of your favourite cycling routes in Cornwall?

I started cycling during the first lockdown, and I'm very much into it now. I've recently discovered a great route from Wadebridge to Padstow, out to Trevose Head, through the back lanes of Padstow, and then back home on the Camel Trail. It's about 30-miles round-trip - an ideal route for a sunny day. The great thing about cycling is discovering new places even if you've lived somewhere for 15 years. When I first found myself on the top of Trevose Head, it was just gorgeous.

Where should we go to hire our bikes from?

I highly recommend Padstow Cycle Hire in Padstow for a cycle through the Camel Trail and a detour to Camel Valley, a beautiful vineyard. If you hire your bikes from Wadebridge, I'd suggest Bridge Bike Hire.

Any must-try pit stop destinations?

I might be a bit biased, but The Mariners in Rock is a must-try. I love The Kew Inn in St Kew, as well. It's in a gorgeous location, right in the middle of the countryside and it's a great place to cycle to. The chef, Andrew Tuck, does a lot of delicious wood-fired food.

What about somewhere to stop for a pint?

The Golden Lion is a proper Padstownian pub and the owners are lovely, otherwise try The Oyster Catcher in Polzeath. There are plenty of wonderful places around here to stop for a drink.

And a refuel?

When we get to Padstow, one of our favourite places is Cherry Tree Coffee House. I know the owners quite well and can always rely on them for the most amazing homemade cakes. They do a vegan flapjack, and even though I'm not vegan, I always go for that as a treat. The Beach Box Cafe in Polzeath is great too. It's right on the beach and serves excellent coffees and paninis.

Where should we stop for a picnic?

Halfway on the Camel Trail between Padstow and Wadebridge. You walk down the slate quarry and there's a perfect rock to sit on right next to the water. My wife, daughter and I had a picnic there recently. The water was turquoise blue and there was a white sailing boat in front of us. With the sun and the view, it felt like we were in Greece.

Where should we wake up in Cornwall?

I'm a massive fan of The Watergate Bay Hotel and The Scarlet Hotel in Mawgan Porth. Watergate is very family-friendly, while Scarlet is adults only. We used to go to Scarlet a lot before we had our daughter; the views are incredible, and it's a fantastic place to relax.

What about somewhere for breakfast?

For breakfast, I love the St Kew Farm Shop. There's a café with lots of outside seating space, and whenever we go there, I always get a sourdough bacon sandwich and a cup of coffee. It's perfect to cycle to.

And for a long, lazy lunch?

The Living Space at Watergate Bay Hotel is a great place to relax. I love eating on their terrace overlooking the ocean.

What about for dinner?

I'd highly recommend checking out Nancarrow Farm and what Jack Bristow is cooking for dinner. His feast nights are unreal, I went there for my 40th birthday. The location and food is very special.

Any underrated spots in Cornwall worth exploring…

Recently I went to a place called Golitha Falls which I've never heard of before. We walked down through the woods and found this amazing hidden spot. It was utterly different from what we are used to seeing in Cornwall and it blew me away.

One place only locals know about…

Definitely Mother Ivey's Bay, just outside of Padstow. John Walton, our group executive chef, is Padstownian born and bred, and he always used to tell me about a hidden spot where he used to go surfing. Luckily, not many people know this bay, as the road to get there is quite steep. If you go at sunset, you can enjoy the most incredible view of the sun plunging into the water.

Finally, where are the best crowd-free beaches?

There is a beach in New Polzeath called Baby Bay. It doesn't get crowded as there's not a lot of parking space. Last year at the end of August, I went there with my wife and my daughter. We got there around 5 o'clock, had some food, went for a swim in the sea, and just enjoyed the calm of the beach. It's one of the most unbelievable places!

More info

The Scream is the popular name given to a composition created by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The original German title given by Munch to his work was Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature), and the Norwegian title is Skrik (Shriek). The agonised face in the painting has become one of the most iconic images of art, seen as symbolising the anxiety of the human condition.

Munch recalled that he had been out for a walk at sunset when suddenly the setting sunlight turned the clouds "a blood red". He sensed an "infinite scream passing through nature". Scholars have located the spot to a fjord overlooking Oslo[1], and have suggested other explanations for the unnaturally orange sky, ranging from the effects of a volcanic eruption to a psychological reaction by Munch to his sister’s commitment at a nearby lunatic asylum.

Munch created two versions in paint and two in pastels, as well as a lithograph stone from which several prints survive. Both of the painted versions have been stolen, but since recovered. One of the pastel versions commanded the fourth highest nominal price paid for an artwork at a public auction.

Sources of inspiration

In his diary in an entry headed "Nice 22 January 1892", Munch wrote:

One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjord—the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream.[2]

He later described his inspiration for the image:

I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.[2][3]

Among theories advanced to account for the reddish sky in the background is the artist's memory of the effects of the powerful volcanic eruption of Krakatoa, which deeply tinted sunset skies red in parts of the Western hemisphere for months during 1883 and 1884, about a decade before Munch painted The Scream.[4] This explanation has been disputed by scholars, who note that Munch was an expressive painter and was not primarily interested in literal renderings of what he had seen. Another explanation for the red skies is that they are due to the appearance of nacreous clouds which occur at the latitude of Norway and which look remarkably similar to the skies depicted in The Scream.[5][6] Alternatively, it has been suggested that the proximity of both a slaughterhouse and a lunatic asylum to the site depicted in the painting may have offered some inspiration.[7] The scene was identified as being the view from a road overlooking Oslo, by the Oslofjord and Hovedøya, from the hill of Ekeberg.[8] At the time of painting the work, Munch's manic depressive sister Laura Catherine was a patient at the mental asylum at the foot of Ekeberg.

A Peruvian mummy at La Specola, Florence.

In 1978, the Munch scholar Robert Rosenblum suggested that the strange, sexless creature in the foreground of the painting was inspired by a Peruvian mummy, which Munch could have seen at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. This mummy, which was buried in a fetal position with its hands alongside its face, also struck the imagination of Munch's friend Paul Gauguin: it stood as a model for figures in more than twenty of Gauguin's paintings, among those the central figure in his painting Human misery (Grape harvest at Arles) and for the old woman at the left in his painting Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?.[9] In 2004, an Italian anthropologist speculated that Munch might have seen a mummy in Florence's Museum of Natural History, which bears an even more striking resemblance to the painting.[10] However, later studies have disputed the Italian theory, as Munch never visited Florence until after painting The Scream.[11]

The imagery of The Scream has been compared to that which an individual suffering from depersonalization disorder experiences, a feeling of distortion of the environment and one's self.[12]

Arthur Lubow has described The Scream as "an icon of modern art, a Mona Lisa for our time."[13] It has been widely interpreted as representing the universal anxiety of modern humanity.[14]

Munch created four versions, two in paint and two in pastels. The first painted version was the first exhibited, debuting in 1893. It is in the collection of the National Gallery of Norway in Oslo. A pastel version from that year, which may have been a preliminary study, is in the collection of the Munch Museum, also in Oslo. The second pastel version, from 1895, was sold for $119,922,600 at Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art auction on 2 May 2012 to financier Leon Black.[15][16] The second painted version dates from 1910, during a period when Munch revisited some of his prior compositions. It is also in the collection of the Munch Museum. These versions have seldom traveled, though the 1895 pastel was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from October 2012 to April 2013,[17][18] and the 1893 pastel was exhibited at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2015.[19]

Additionally, Munch created a lithograph stone of the composition in 1895 from which several prints produced by Munch survive.[20] Only approximately four dozen prints were made before the original stone was resurfaced by the printer in Munch's absence.[21]

The material composition of the 1893 painted version was examined in 2010.[22] The pigment analysis revealed the use of cadmium yellowvermilionultramarine and viridian, among other pigments in use in the 19th century.[23]

The Scream has been the target of a number of thefts and theft attempts. Some damage has been suffered in these thefts.

Two men breaking into the National Gallery, Oslo, to steal the gallery's (1893 tempera on cardboard) version of The Scream, February 1994

1994 theft

On 12 February 1994, the same day as the opening of the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, two men broke into the National Gallery, Oslo, and stole its version of The Scream, leaving a note reading "Thanks for the poor security".[24][25] The painting had been moved down to a second-story gallery[26] as part of the Olympic festivities.[27] After the gallery refused to pay a ransom demand of US$1 million in March 1994, Norwegian police set up a sting operation with assistance from the British police (SO10) and the Getty Museum and the painting was recovered undamaged on 7 May 1994.[26] In January 1996, four men were convicted in connection with the theft, including Pål Enger [no], who had been convicted of stealing Munch's Vampire in 1988.[28] They were released on appeal on legal grounds: the British agents involved in the sting operation had entered Norway under false identities.[29]

2004 theft

The 1910 version of The Scream was stolen on 22 August 2004, during the daylight hours, when masked gunmen entered the Munch Museum in Oslo and stole it and Munch's Madonna.[30] A bystander photographed the robbers as they escaped to their car with the artwork. On 8 April 2005, Norwegian police arrested a suspect in connection with the theft, but the paintings remained missing and it was rumored that they had been burned by the thieves to destroy evidence.[31][32] On 1 June 2005, with four suspects already in custody in connection with the crime, the city government of Oslo offered a reward of 2 million Norwegian krone (roughly US$313,500 or €231,200) for information that could help locate the paintings.[33] Although the paintings remained missing, six men went on trial in early 2006, variously charged with either helping to plan or participating in the robbery. Three of the men were convicted and sentenced to between four and eight years in prison in May 2006, and two of the convicted, Bjørn Hoen and Petter Tharaldsen, were also ordered to pay compensation of 750 million kroner (roughly US$117.6 million or €86.7 million) to the City of Oslo.[34] The Munch Museum was closed for ten months for a security overhaul.[35]

On 31 August 2006, Norwegian police announced that a police operation had recovered both The Scream and Madonna, but did not reveal detailed circumstances of the recovery. The paintings were said to be in a better-than-expected condition. "We are 100 percent certain they are the originals," police chief Iver Stensrud told a news conference. "The damage was much less than feared."[36][37] Munch Museum director Ingebjørg Ydstie confirmed the condition of the paintings, saying it was much better than expected and that the damage could be repaired.[38] The Scream had moisture damage on the lower left corner, while Madonna suffered several tears on the right side of the painting as well as two holes in Madonna's arm.[39] Before repairs and restoration began, the paintings were put on public display by the Munch Museum beginning 27 September 2006. During the five-day exhibition, 5,500 people viewed the damaged paintings. The conserved works went back on display on 23 May 2008, when the exhibition "Scream and Madonna — Revisited" at the Munch Museum in Oslo displayed the paintings together.[40] Some damage to The Scream may prove impossible to repair, but the overall integrity of the work has not been compromised.[41][42]

Record sale at auction

The 1895 pastel-on-board version of the work, owned by Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen, sold at Sotheby's in London for a record price of nearly US$120 million at auction on 2 May 2012.[43][44] The bidding started at $40 million and lasted for over 12 minutes when American businessman Leon Black by phone gave the final offer of US$119,922,500, including the buyer's premium.[16] Sotheby's said the work was the most colorful and vibrant of the four versions painted by Munch and the only version whose frame was hand-painted by the artist to include his poem, detailing the work's inspiration.[17] After the sale, Sotheby's auctioneer Tobias Meyer said the work was "worth every penny", adding: "It is one of the great icons of art in the world and whoever bought it should be congratulated."[45]

The previous record for the most expensive work of art sold at auction had been held by Picasso's Nude, Green Leaves and Bust, which went for US$106.5 million at Christie's two years prior on 4 May 2010.[46] As of 2018, the pastel remains the fourth highest nominal price paid for a painting at auction.[47]

In popular culture

The mask from Scream (1996) was inspired by The Scream.
"The Silence" from Doctor Who, have an appearance partially based on The Scream.

In the late twentieth century, The Scream was imitated, parodied, and (following its copyright expiration) outright copied, which led to it acquiring an iconic status in popular culture. It was used on the cover of some editions of Arthur Janov's book The Primal Scream.[48]

In 1983–1984, pop artist Andy Warhol made a series of silkscreen prints copying works by Munch, including The Scream. His stated intention was to desacralize the painting by making it into a mass-reproducible object. Munch had already begun that process, however, by making a lithograph of the work for reproduction. Erró's ironic and irreverent treatment of Munch's masterpiece in his acrylic paintings The Second Scream (1967) and Ding Dong (1979) is considered a characteristic of post-modern art.[49] The expression of Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) in the poster for the movie Home Alone was inspired by The Scream.[citation needed]

The Ghostface mask worn by the primary antagonists of the Scream series of horror movies is based on the painting, and was created by Brigitte Sleiertin, a Fun World employee, as a Halloween costume, prior to being discovered by Marianne Maddalena and Wes Craven for the film.[50] The principal alien antagonists depicted in the 2011 BBC series of Doctor Who, named "The Silence", have an appearance partially based on The Scream.[51]

In 2013, The Scream was one of four paintings that the Norwegian postal service chose for a series of stamps marking the 150th anniversary of Edvard Munch's birth.[52] In 2018 Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis made a musical based on the painting's theft starring Pål Enger who stole it in 1994.[53]

A patient resource group for trigeminal neuralgia (which has been described as the most painful condition in existence) have also adopted the image as a symbol of the condition.[54]
