Honda Models Touted for Surpassing 200,000 Miles

April 10th, 2018 by

2018 Honda Accord Motion

Honda models are among the longest-lasting vehicles on the road, frequently surpassing 200,000 miles with no major problems or extensive repairs. For generations, Honda has earned a reputation for producing high-quality, reliable vehicles and time and time again they’ve outrun comparable models. Consumer Reports has put together a top 10 list of the longest-lasting vehicles, and three Honda models earned a spot:

  • The Accord
  • The CR-V
  • The Civic

The Accord

2018 Honda Accord In RainThe 2018 Honda Accord is a sophisticated sedan that’s as refined as it is powerful on the road. With two turbo-charged engines and three transmission choices, including a hybrid engine option, the Accord delivers exquisite power while achieving impressive fuel economy. Inside, drivers can find a long list of features that bolster comfort, provide convenience, and offer ways to stay connected and entertained — check out the dual-zone automatic climate control, the 7-inch touchscreen display, and more. The Accord also comes standard with Honda Sensing, a suite of driver-assistive technology features that help you drive safely.

The CR-V

2018 Honda CR-V AWD Exterior Side ProfileThe 2018 Honda CR-V is a dynamic crossover, offering drivers a compact size and plenty of interior space for both passengers and cargo. The versatile interior can be configured in many arrangements to accommodate large, bulky, or awkwardly shaped cargo items, so you never have to leave anything behind. Choose between a 2WD version or an AWD drivetrain to tackle even slippery or icy roads with added traction control. Inside the cabin, the CR-V is decked out with a multi-angle rearview camera, illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls, and more.

The Civic

2018 Honda Civic rearThe 2018 Honda Civic is a legend on the road. Sporty and dynamic, the Civic comes in a coupe, sedan, or hatchback version. But no matter which body style is right for you, the Civic earns incredible fuel economy with either the standard 6-speed manual transmission or the CVT. Inside the Civic you’ll find comfort features such as automatic climate control, ways to stay safely connected with Bluetooth and other hands-free technology, and plenty of style.

Ford Makes Moves with Hybrid Cars

In a move that could change everything in the auto industry, Ford decided to offer its Lincoln MKZ hybrid for the same price it offers the standard version of the car.

Why is this a big deal?

Traditionally, hybrid vehicles have cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000+ more than their standard gasoline only versions. [...]

Using trendy ‘Ultra Violet’ hue in decor

Thank you for being one of our most loyal readers. Please consider supporting community journalism by subscribing.

When the Pantone Color Institute recently announced its color of the year for 2018, the vibrant “Ultra Violet,” it might have seemed a natural fit for fashion and cosmetics.

“Ultra Violet is a color that’s almost like a neutral in fashion now,” says New York-based interior designer Brett Beldock. “Every newscaster you see is wearing a purple tie.”

But this rich violet is more challenging to use well in home decorating. It can easily overpower a room, and needs to be paired carefully with other shades.

We’ve ask Beldock and two other interior designers — Abbe Fenimore, founder of the Dallas-based design firm Studio Ten 25, and Jessica McClendon, founder of the Los Angeles-based design firm Glamour Nest — for advice on bringing his trendy, bold color into home decor in ways that won’t quickly go out of style.

McClendon says violet can bring a touch of luxury to bedrooms, especially when used sparingly in rich upholstery fabrics. “Go with a deeper or dustier shade for a more mature look or brighter for a playful, younger vibe,” she says. “If you want a softer, more feminine feel, opt for a less saturated or paler tone.”

One key is choosing the right fabric: “If you are thinking about using purple on an upholstered item, opt for fabrics rich in texture or feel,” McClendon says. “Think silk, velvet, chenille, textured woven or even an interesting print. I’m not a fan of just plain solid purple twill cotton because it ends up feeling flat and looking not high-quality.”

Along with fabrics, Fenimore likes using violet for accessories in the bedroom “for a rich and sophisticated feel. Amethyst accents like lamps, picture frames or small accessories stacked on books work well,” she says.

Ultra Violet “can be bold and take over a room quickly if it’s not balanced correctly,” says Fenimore. So use it as a supporting player only.

Choose color combinations that make Ultra Violet feel like a part of the room, instead of taking over, she says. Good partners might be celadon green, lavender and soft pink. That palette, with a touch of Ultra Violet, would be beautiful in a modern wallpaper used in a small space like a powder room.

Beldock loves violet with white, heather gray, khaki, olive or camel. And a mix of violet, chocolate brown and white, she says, would have a smartly retro 1970s feel that could look very fresh today.

One warning about color pairings: “I would avoid mixing the color with red,” says Fenimore. “Together, the two shades will quickly take over a room and create an environment with too much anxiety.”

If you’re considering painting your walls violet, Beldock suggests testing a large swatch first. McClendon agrees: “Make sure you look at large samples of the paint before committing. Purple is a hard color, and it straddles a fine line between super-luxurious and cheap. You have to be really thoughtful when choosing a purple paint color.”

Look at the samples in different lights and in different parts of the room.

Two ways to moderate violet’s impact on walls: Use it only on a single accent wall, Beldock suggests, or bring it in as part of a wallpaper pattern.

In her own wall covering designs, she has used violet as a solid backdrop covered with images rendered in crisp white, or as a playful accent over a simple white background.

Ultra Violet a statement color, McClendon says. So even though it’s popular right now, “don’t commit to painting a room or a large piece of furniture unless it works for your true style.”

But if you love it, go all in.

“I’ve seen rooms that were all purple and amazing,” she says. “Again, it goes back to what your true style is and how you want your space to feel.”

Keanu Asing is the smallest surfer on Championship Tour, with one of the biggest personalities. The gritty Hawaiian scrapper grew up surrounded by surfing prodigies, rolling and rumbling with the likes of Ezekiel Lau, Carissa Moore, and John John Florence on Oahu from the age of eight. Tiny and tough, loving and loyal, he learned the warrior’s way from his father Tommy, a legendary state Karate champion. While wins never came easy for Keanu during his rise through the amateur ranks, he earned his share anyway. And though John John and Carissa cast big shadows as they jumped into surfing’s big leagues in 2011, Keanu’s road was tougher. He finally qualified in 2015, and enjoyed a respectable rookie season. But 2016 was tougher; he only advanced out of one heat during the first six events. His chances for requalifying looked bleak, but then something clicked at the Quiksilver Pro in France, where he shocked the field with a win. He did it the hard way, defeating Kelly Slater, John John Florence and Gabriel Medina with the wickedness of his backside attack, and his relentless high tempo. While the win wasn’t enough to get him over the qualifying hump in 2016, his renewed confidence served him well in 2017; he won three qualifying series events, and clawed his way back to surfing’s big stage. But his biggest win, by far, was marrying Kailin Curran, the UFC straw-weight fighter who keeps Keanu on his toes.

Salim Mehajer Charged With Assaulting Prison Guard

Former Auburn Deputy Mayor Salim Mehajer is in the news for all the wrong reasons once again, this time for allegedly attacking a prison officer at Cooma Jail where he is currently serving an eleven-month sentence for electoral fraud.

The 32-year-old disgraced property developer is alleged to have grabbed a prison officer during an altercation which has seen him in isolation since the incident.

Corrective Services NSW spokesman said:

‘A 32-year-old inmate has been charged internally after allegedly grabbing a prison officer by the wrist at Cooma Correctional Centre last week,’

‘The inmate has been placed on a 14-day segregation order.’

You can’t control everything. Sometimes, you have to just have faith and know that everything will be okay. 💪

Mehajer was convicted with fraud earlier this year after he rigged his local government election back in 2012 with the help of his sister Fatima.

Timeline of West Virginia: Civil War and Statehood
April 14, 1863

Wheeling Intelligencer
April 18, 1863

Meeting in Pleasants County.

Editors IntelligencerL,/i>

At a meeting of the citizens of Pleasants county held at the Court House on Tuesday the 14h day of April, 1863, Col. R. T. Parker was called to the Choir, and R Hickman appointed Secretary.

The object of the meeting being explained by John A Hutchinson, Jr., the meeting proceeded to appoint delegates to attend the Convention to be held at Parkersburg to nominate State officers.

On motion the following names gentlemen were appointed delegates to said Convention from the several magisterial districts of this county, viz:

Upper District - James W. Williamson, Thomas Gorrell, Asa P. Allen, Friend Taylor, Selman Wells, and Thomas Johnson.

Middle District - Joseph Hubbs, Thomas D. Gorrell, Robert Patterson, Jr., Josiah Powell and J. F. Bolton.

Lower District - Friend Cochran, Hiram Shapuack, Col. R. T. Parker, Hamilton Williamson, David McKinney and Maulshey Rogers.

On motion of Joseph Hubbs, Esq.

Resolved, That any loyal new State citizen of this county, who may be in Parkersburg during he sitting of said Convention, be requested to act as alternates.

On motion of John A. Hutchinson, Jr., the following resolutions were adopted:

Resolved, That men of integrity, high moral character and ability should be selected by the people of West Virginia for the purpose of successfully launching the new ship of State "steady and true, with an upright keel," and that as one of them, our delegates be instructed to inform the Convention that Judge A. J. Boreman of Wood county, if nominated, will be heartily supported by the voters of this county for Governor.

Resolved, That in our opinion, it would be unreasonable, unwise and flagrantly inconsistent with the great and novel duties devolved upon us, that the advent of West Virginia among the sister States of the Federal Union should be marked by the reconstruction of party platforms and the unfurling of partisan banners, that the erection of a new State and differences concerning the modes of its organization, should not absorb our minds to the exclusion of national concerns, sensible of the importance of overthrowing the rebellion and preserving our unity of government; without which all our efforts to prepare for ourselves and coming generations a State of equal laws, peace and prosperity, will be fruitless.

On motion of F. C. Taylor,

Resolved. That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Wheeling Intelligencer, Parkersburg Gazette, Ritchie Press, and other papers favorable to the new State.

On motion the meeting adjourned.

R. C. Parker, Ch'n.
R. Hickman, Sec'y.

The mobile garden trend is set to continue
Posted by luke. Oct. 5 2018 in PR Stories.

The trend for mobile gardens is set to continue as figures reveal home ownership among 25-34-year-olds is decreasing with more young people renting instead.

The English Housing Survey Headline Report 2016-17 found that 46% of 25-34-year-olds now live in private rentals, compared with 27% in 2006-07.

Andy Johnson, our Managing Director, said: “With an increasing number of house renters, the pick it up and take it with me garden is a trend set to continue.

“There is always going to be a market for that instant splash of colour on the patio. However, the mobile garden is going to be more than just instant gratification. Millennial gardeners want to bond with their plants and have that strong emotional connection with them.

“There is now an increasing range of 21st Century shrubs. Shrubs which will grow happily in patio pots and that the millennial renters can bond with in the safe knowledge that their beloved Phormium can be transported on the back of a removal van.

“We grow a selection of plants such as the quirky Jacobinia ‘Firefly’, colourful Hydrangea Magical series and the structured Phormium ‘Blondie’ perfect for the renting household meaning they don’t have the hassle of replanting each year. Young gardeners are seeing their patio as their new dining room – it just needs some plant décor.

“Flowering from late December through to early summer ‘Firefly’ provides an eye-catching display. It is an attractive, compact growing, very rounded shrub, which is dripping with tubular bicolour flowers, vivid orange at the base changing to bright yellow at the tip. A sun loving plant which will bring early season colour to any garden.”

Phormium ‘Blondie’ was featured as one of the top 20 new plants of 2018 at Chelsea. It is a distinct Phormium, which has a unique weeping habit unlike any other. It will grow into a tight clump up to 80cm tall and 60cm wide with a distinct, strongly arching habit, similar to a chlorophytum.

The leaves are variegated with a cream stripe down the midrib and a green margin. ‘Blondie’ is particularly suited to growing in a patio container where it can be left to gracefully arch over the pot.

Andy added: “In 2017 we became the sole UK grower of the Hydrangea Magical Series. This is an extremely successful multi award-winning Hydrangea series, which has only been available from nurseries outside the UK.

“The ‘Magical’ flowers change colour three to four times during the course of a single year, resulting in a spectacular garden display. These fantastic garden plants are suited for patios, terraces or borders.

“There are eight different varieties including the Plantarium 2015 Best in Show winner Magical ‘Ruby Tuesday’. They flower very early and are compact and robust plants.”

Uncle Albert Should Have Stayed in Vegas Too

Uncle Albert always bragged about being a “lucky” guy. He trusted anyone and everyone; he was always talking to strangers and turning them into friends. He was always giving away his property, and getting new stuff. “Hey, there’s nothing attached to me except for my heart!”

Uncle Albert’s heart seemed to be nearly broken when I visited him the day after his annual vacation. “Everything I did in Las Vegas stayed in Las Vegas,” he said, trying to find some cheer. “Everything I left at home must be staying in Las Vegas too.”

In the living room, where a giant high-definition plasma television had been hanging on the wall, only a large hole in the wall remained. His entire DVD collection – including the entire Three Stooges collector’s edition – was nowhere to be seen. Even the easy chair, in which he sat night after night, was now just a stain on the carpet. It was as if someone had pulled a large moving van up to the house and helped themselves to everything in the house. “They didn’t even leave me a remote!” he said, as if the remote could magically make everything re-appear.

Everyday he would go into the neighbor’s yard and feed their guard dog some extra biscuits. Tonight, the biscuits were gone, and the dog was still expecting a reward for a “heckuva job.”

“Buy your own biscuits!” Albert growled at the dog.

“They didn’t even leave your grandmother’s picture!” Albert said sadly. “They even took the kids’ pictures – the ones I took when they were still babies.”

Uncle Albert continued his bragging rights, however. “Hey, I managed to win $500 while I was in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, that stayed in Vegas as well.”

“Uncle Albert, “I said. “Haven’t you ever heard of X10?”

“You mean the movie?” he said, with a puzzled look.

“No, that was X-MEN!” I explained. “X10 makes surveillance cameras, motion detectors and devices that let you watch everything that goes on in your house on your laptop while you’re in Las Vegas!”

“Well, at least I still have my laptop,” Uncle Albert said. “That didn’t stay in Vegas.”

“Before you refurbish the house, Uncle Albert,” I said, “you should go to X10.com, and get yourself some cameras, lamp and appliance modules, as well as a motion detector or two.”

“I can’t do that,” Uncle Albert said.

“Why not?” I asked.

“Because I no longer exist!”

“They stole my identity too!”

What You Need to Know About Inframammary Incisions

Reviewed by and by Michael Olding, MD, FACS

An inframammary incision (crease or fold incision) is one type of incision used in the placement of implants for breast augmentation.

The inframammary incision is placed in the proximity of the crease where the breast and chest come together.

This crease is called the inframammary fold.

Anatomy of the Breast Relative to the Inframammary Incision

The breast comprises a complex group of tissues, including glandular, fatty and fibrous tissues. The breast is positioned over the pectoral muscles of the chest wall and is attached to the chest wall by loose fibrous strands called Cooper's ligaments at the fold, there are strong fibrous attachments holding the skin to the chest wall.

The inframammary fold is created by gravity's pull on the lower portion of the breast, which is not connected to the chest wall by any fibrous tissue. A crease is formed at the point where the breast and the skin come together (normally in the location of the fifth or sixth rib) and where the skin is more tightly connected to the underlying body structure.

How Is the Inframammary Incision Performed?

To perform the inframammary incision, the surgeon selects the optimum location to place the incision — under the breast and close to the inframammary fold. The surgeon makes the incision and creates a pocket in which to place the breast implant. The implant is slid upward through the incision, then centered behind the nipple.

The incision is located to secure proper placement of the implant, but also to reduce scar visibility. Scarring from properly located inframammary incisions should be easily hidden under a swimsuit top.

Advantages of the Inframammary Incision

Learn more about breast augmentation

There are several advantages to the inframammary incision. The first is that this incision allows the implant to be placed in any of the three implant locations:

Another advantage using the inframammary incision, the surgeon works close to the breast, which gives the surgeon optimal visibility while working.

Consult a Surgeon

"Henry Rollins has staying power." - Interview

For those who are fans of Henry Rollins, no matter if it’s for his music, acting, or opinions, you can be certain that Rollins always gives his best to the project he is attached to. Knowing that, it made interviewing that much more awesome.

Q - You were a part of one of the biggest punk bands, Black Flag. That was many years ago. Yet your fan base is still out there strong as ever. What's the secret to staying power?

A - I tour all the time, answer all the mail and keep things moving. Perhaps that has something to do with it. I have been very lucky and I have a great audience. I think if an audience knows it is being respected, and then they may stick around for longer than a tour or a press release. That's as best as I can figure.

Q - After Black Flag you toured in the Rollins Band, changing the music a little to include heavier rock and jazz. As an artist, how and why did you decide to stray away from the type of music Black Flag put out when Black Flag was so popular?

A - I don't know why I would want to try and copy what I had been doing before. It would be a waste of time and who cares what's popular? It was a new group of people and you can't tell them to play someone else's music. We got together and started writing songs and touring and let it happen. To me, that's way more interesting and honest than trying to gauge what an audience wants. To me, that's an ultimate sell out.

Q - I read that one of the biggest changes in your life was when you started lifting weights. Lifting weights had a dramatic physical effect on you, but what did it do for you mentally and how did you apply that 'aha' moment to your life?

A - It gave me a sense of achievement that I needed. I took the fact that if I applied myself, something may happen into what I have tried to ever since.

Q - Your career began in music, but then moved to stand-up, acting and spoken word. Sometimes I see artists going out and doing the same 10 songs that made them successful. You, on the other hand, reinvent yourself all the time. Is there a specific moment during your career when you think you have to do something different or are you just doing the things you want to do because you want to do them?

A - I took the other work opportunities as they came to me; that's it really. I was in a band and was offered to be in a film. I had nothing to lose and was curious, so I went for it. Then came voiceovers and other things. I come from the minimum wage working world and I work for a living. The thing I figured out in the eighties was that you better have something else to do because in music, you were going to starve in America. So, wanting to survive, I found things to do between band tours and said yes to work; that's how I do it.

Q - What I love about you is that your spoken word doesn't hold back on what you're thinking. Whether the topic revolves around Iraq or former President Bush, you tell it like it is. What would you say is the biggest criticism of your speeches?

A - The lack of restraint on a topic that someone disagrees with. Fuck 'em.

Q - Have you ever regretted anything you've said about a person or topic that has affected a person?

A - No.

Q - I read that, although your speeches or spoken word are well written, you actually don't like the writing process. How do you prepare for a topic when writing isn't something you particularly like doing?

A - I work through the ideas in my head and take it to the stage. I am not a good writer, so I struggle with it and do the best I can. I don't write the things I say on stage; I just have it with me. It's a lot to manage sometimes.

Q - The long ago rumor was that Henry Rollins was gay and that you were going to come out on TV. You've said that you weren't gay and didn't have a problem with homosexuals. How did this rumor ever come about?

A - I don't know. Perhaps wishful thinking. If I were gay, believe me, you would know.

Q - Since you've been successful as a performer on different levels, what's next for Henry Rollins?

A - I have a lot of shows happening this year and a lot of writing work to do, so that will take up the rest of the year. Next year, hopefully something will come up.

Transgenic models of immune and haematopoietic disorders

Regulation of the immune system is fundamental to protecting the host from infection whilst constraining autoimmunity, undesirable inflammation and immunopathology. Immune dysregulation can lead to diseases such as asthma and allergy (Figure 1), autoimmunity and leukaemia.

Using techniques including mouse genetics, fluorescence imaging and gene expression analysis we discovered group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) as significant new participants in immune regulation through their cytokine secretion (Figure 2). We now know that ILC2s belong to a larger family of ILCs that develop from lymphoid precursors that also give rise to the T and B cell lineages. We aim to identify the transcriptional pathways that regulate this differentiation and gain molecular insight into cell commitment.

ILC2s localise predominantly at mucosal surfaces where they act as critical sentinels for tissue damage and infection, at the interface of innate and adaptive immunity. Our goal is to determine the cellular and molecular pathways that regulate ILCs during homeostasis and disease, and how they might be targeted therapeutically in humans.

Angelique Kerber opens up on Wimbledon shock and Serena Williams

Tanya Simon
July 11, 2018

23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams rallied from a set down to dismiss Camila Giorgi and reach her first grand slam semi-final since becoming a wife and a mother.

"I knew going in it was not going to be an easy match", said Williams, who now plays 13th seed Julia Goerges of Germany, who beat Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 over on Court No 1. Kasatkina finished with seven double-faults, including one on break point in the second game and then two straight to hand Kerber a 5-3 lead in the first set - halting her momentum just after breaking to get back on serve with the help of one of the best rallies of the match.

Williams was forced to withdraw from the fourth round of the French Open last month in her grand slam return with a pectoral injury and admitted last week she still wasn't serving at full power.

The number 11 seed overcame a determined Belinda Bencic 6-3, 7-6 and, like Görges, will fancy her chances at upsetting Williams' charge to the title. Hopefully, it doesn't come full circle and my gloating come back to haunt me in the shape of Anderson playing lights out! By the time she was done, she had hit 20 winners and only 14 unforced errors in a match of high quality on both sides.

The Queen is back, with Tuesday's win guaranteeing that she will jump from 181 to at least 51 when the new rankings are announced next week. Bertens is seeded 20th.

"It's pretty unreal for me", said Goerges, who reached her first major semifinal at a tournament where she exited in the first round each of the past five years. I just tried to fight for every point.

"It was a very tough match but I was just trying to enjoy it".

Brett Kavanaugh Announced as Trump's Pick for SCOTUS
As a result, Trump found more than twice as many judicial vacancies waiting for him when he entered the White House as Obama did. He also has taken an expansive view of executive power and has favored limits on investigating the president.

Williams, who has a kind run through to the semi-finals, will next take on Camila Giorgi of Italy.

"I went for it", Williams said of the serve afterward.

Williams is 3-0 against Goerges, winning in straight sets each time.

Looking to become the first Italian woman to make the Wimbledon semifinals, Giorgi did not let up, even when the match started to look like it was slipping away.

Japan's Kei Nishikori beat Ernests Gulbis in four sets to set up a match-up with Novak Djokovic, who has quietly been playing well at the tournament. That variety and injection of pace made Mannarino so unsure of his game and like I've said many times before Fed's brand of tennis is just so unique.

The ICC shared an image of the Test rankings for batsmen which showed the 20-time Grand Slam victor as the number one batsman in the world.

Ever wondered what it’s like to MTB in Kenya? Find out here as #TeamGarminMTB recounts our adventure at the @RideRVO. @GarminSA

The Rift Valley Odyssey – what a cool name for a race, wouldn’t you agree? It implies adventure, excitement and a deep sense of fulfilment for completing a journey most people won’t even attempt! Indeed this year’s edition of the RVO had several of these features but cast in the South African mindset of ‘racing’ mountain bikes it wasn’t easy to define what exactly the RVO was, where it fit in and who it was for.

Most cycling events are referred to as races being timed events where the personwho covers the distance between the start and finish line the quickest is declared the winner. This in turn means success is defined in terms of time, often just fractions of a second separating winner’s from the rest. The Ride RVO, as it is known, is something completely different. There is no timing of participants which means riders must ‘find success’ in other ways.

With an optional prologue and 5 long stages the Ride RVO poses a substantial physical challenge for mountain bikers with most riders spending between 4.5 and 7 hours on the bike each day, covering distances between 80 and 100km per stage. The terrain is extremely varied, ever changing from the Alpine forests and tea plantations of the Kenyan Highlands (some as high as 2700m above sea level) to tropical jungles and semi desert plains where the Maasai cattle and wildlife peacefully graze next to each other as if in one great herd.

Merely completing this challenge meant success for some while spotting wildlife and other distinctly Kenyan attractions rated highly on other participants’ agenda.

For Team Garmin MTB it was the 4th and penultimate leg of our #AfricanMTBSeries. As there was no timing our aim was to immerse ourselves in the event and embrace every opportunity as it arose to make the best of our time in Kenya.

In terms of Mountain Biking, the course created from Nairobi to the border of the Maasai Mara was spectacular to say the least. Along the way we stopped at famous Kenyan landmarks such as Lake Naivasha, the dormant volcano of Mount Suswa, the Ewaso Nyiro River, the South African/Maasai camp Olkoroi and finally Cottars Camp on the banks of the Sand River right across the Maasai Mara itself.

Along the way the scenery was stunning with some uniquely African vistas from remote vantage points only accessible by foot or bike. As we sped past the local Maasai people cheered or scattered depending on the particular individual’s mix of total bewilderment, awe and grasp of the situation.

Of course this is Africa and things don’t always go to plan as we found out on days 3 and 4 when our finish of stage 3 and the start of stage 4 were delayed by ‘African toll gates’, spontaneously erected by the local tribesman demanding money for each bike, car and truck to pass despite these negotiations having been concluded weeks earlier.

Support vehicles also often got held up due to the bad roads leaving most riders stranded in their cycling clothes after stages while waiting for the luggage to arrive. Although somewhat uncomfortable, we all tried to make the best of these situations often doing things we normally wouldn’t as racing requires such dedicated focus and commitment. It’s quite amazing how much a mere dip in the river can lift ones sprits after a long day in the saddle.

A particular highlight of each day was the catering, especially considering how remote our camps were. The 2 catering teams used for the event went out of their way to accommodate everyone – even managing to please Marco and Bebo – our Italian vegan/vegetarian duo who completed the event on e-bikes complete with handlebar baskets full of nuts, leaves and other plant based nutrition!

Back to the riding and a lot of the trails used were on the best cattle paths available, also selected by boda boda (motorbike taxis) for their ‘flow’ and then unwittingly sculpted by these overloaded motorbikes going at just the right speed to give the trail a feel of flow often only reserved for hand built, MTB specific singletrack.

Taking into account the obvious challenges of hosting a MTB stage race in remote parts of Africa, the event ran off reasonably smooth but judging by the lofty standards set by South African events where the competition is so fierce, the event needs some refinement to justify its hefty price tag. That said the race has a lot of potential and if managed correctly it can become a must do ride on the African continent and beyond.

Back to the opening question of what exactly the RVO was and for who it catered, well that doesn’t really matter as long as you love riding your bike, enjoy adventure and can go with the flow – this ride is for you!

So apparently, that lace panel is not called a bib, but a jabot.

Well, you know what would make this tank kind of awesome?

If the lace bib jabot were interchangeable, so when you spilled food on it or were bored you could switch it out.

New ModCloth Moddle 4

ModCloth has (what I’m pretty sure is) a new model. She does a very good job with what I can only describe as “a lot of crazy shit.” There’s really no other way to explain it.  Case in point:

A fur hood with ears and paw pockets. How very Raccoon Mario.

But I do like this new model – she doesn’t have the serene calm of the Hardest Working Model at ModCloth. Instead, she has an unbridled enthusiasm that makes me want to turn her into a Lolcat.

And so, I did.

Welcome, ModClolth ModLol.

Logic Gap 3

I covered this briefly today in my very first (and second) GabCast shows, but I love rehashing points I’ve already made. Like this one: yes, I do live webcasting now – check out my show at 11am and 4pm, PST Monday through Friday!

The big fashion news last week was that The Gap fired their design chief Patrick Robinson. The Gap has been struggling for years, and bringing in Robinson in 2007 was part of an attempt at resuscitating the brand. If you haven’t bothered to step foot in a Gap in the last three years, then you know how that worked out.

According to the New York Times article,

Analysts said the problem on the design side seems to be twofold.

The colors that Mr. Robinson seems to prefer are muted — Gap’s stores now, for instance, are filled with peaches and grays, while competitors are going for saturated jewel tones.

Also, the timing of when it brings clothing has been an issue. While Gap has had moderate success with items like its 1969 jeans, other styles hit at the wrong time.

Gap introduced skinny-leg cargo pants, for instance, in early 2010. “But they were early on the trend, early in the year, and when the trend peaked they weren’t there as much,” Ms. Tennant said.

I’ve written a few times about the Gap’s problems – or, as I’ve affectionately named it, “The Gap Conundrum.” While I don’t disagree with the Times’ analysis  – looking through the site, almost everything the Gap is selling right now is beige – I think they’re missing the point.

I’ve mentioned before that the fit always looks terrible. Beyond that, their window displays are uninspiring at best. Nothing about the windows of the brick and mortar store make me want to actually go in and look at their products. Nothing about the look of the clothes online makes me want to pay the shipping costs.

They’re absolutely right about the lack of color; looking through the site you mostly see beige, cream, white, and khaki. Given that the Pantone colors for the spring and fall are anything but neutral, this is a pretty major problem.

I could go into more detail, but I think I’ve found one item that really sums up my problems with The Gap.

Denim coverall maxi dress. Oh yeah. Because there are just those days when you want the easy, classic look of a Sister Wife.

I know I went to the polygamist well the other week with the ModCloth Square Dancing Dress, but at least then the hemline was above the knee. Not only is this a denim maxi dress, in their product description Gap makes sure to stress that the hemline “hits below the ankles.” Because heavens knows, you wouldn’t want to expose your ankles and inflame the desires of the menfolk.

I mean, really, Gap? You guys were looking for something to set your brand apart, and you thought the key was Polygamist Chic? I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that, but it just seems like a very limited market share.

The only reasonable explanation I can think of for the existence of this dress (other than the obvious Sister Wives connection) is that the Gap is trying to recapture the glory days of the 90s.

Like a middle-aged man wearing his high school letterman jacket in a desperate attempt to return to the heyday of his youth, so too is the Gap attempting to return to the days when their brand was more than just an afterthought.

But the truth is, watching a middle aged jock publicly struggle with his midlife crisis is uncomfortable and a little embarrassing. Likewise, watching the Gap flail aimlessly in desperate attempts at “redefining their brand” – it just makes me want to sit them down with a cup of hot cocoa and pat them on the back while telling them that they’re special snowflakes and they don’t need to try so hard to get people to like them.

It’s not that hard of a concept, is it? Make basics. Make good basics. Make bright, colorful basics. Make bright, colorful basics that fit. Don’t sell denim overall maxi dresses. Plenty of other stores manage to do this. J.Crew manages. Ann Taylor manages. Forever 21 manages. Even Old Navy manages, and you guys are owned by the same company and their cuts and sizing are totally erratic.

Seriously you guys, it’s getting frustrating. You’re the Gap. It’s not that hard to figure out who you are or what you’re supposed to be selling. No one’s asking that you reinvent the khaki, just make some good freaking khakis.

And stop trying to make overall denim maxi dresses happen. Even if you could manage to make them happen … is that really a world you want to live in?

    I do hope they find someone good to become the new design chief. I *did* finally manage to get two nice pairs of jeans at Gap this weekend that are so well-sized that I won’t even have to hem them, but it’s notable that this only happened once I lost 25 pounds. Before that (being just barely overweight), I could never find a pair of Gap jeans that fit me in all three dimensions (waist, hip, and inseam) or even just two. Here’s hoping the new person understands the diversity of human dimensions!

    In this case, less is more, as it forces the user to think differently — a very Apple-esque approach. Amazingly, using Apple’s design philosophy, Samsung’s device outdoes the iPhone.

    A couple of features on the shoe that stand out include the split design of the high-cut tongue, the stretch textile mesh upper, a heel tab and heel counter that reminds me of the ones on the Ultra Boost

Tropika Malaysian Cuisine
2975 Cambie St
Vancouver, BC
Phone: (604) 879-6002
Tropika (Cambie) on Urbanspoon

This evening adventure takes us yet to another Malaysian Style restaurant in Tropika. A popular chain with multiple locations in the Greater Vancouver Region including Cambie Village, Downtown, and Richmond Aberdeen Centre. I have tried all 3 locations and by far, I prefer the Cambie Village location.

Tropika Malaysian Restaurant

We were quickly greeted and seated at our table. The server was quick to fulfill our order and the food came out very quickly.

There are many dishes to choose from, however, we wanted a good variety, so we started with a couple of combination dinners that would allow us to sample a number of their tasty cuisine. The first combination is the Putera-Puteri Favorite. Don’t worry, I had trouble saying it too when I made the order. So I just pointed at the combo that I wanted.

Putera-Puteri Favorite

Let’s break this combo down into it’s individual components. If you’ve read my other posts, you will know that I’m keen on the Chicken Satay. I key ingredient to the success of this appetizer is the peanut sauce. The family and I enjoyed the taste of the peanut sauce and the chicken. Well done and bonus points on the sauce!

Chicken Satay

The Sayur Kari was made up mostly of cabbage and really didn’t have any taste. A slight taste of curry and not very enjoyable at all. This is a dish that I would never order individually. I’m certainly glad that I only had a small portion.

Sayur Kari

To wrap up this combo, we had the Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs. The Pork is mixed with some peppers, onions, and pineapples. The sauce had a consistent sauce texture, not a watered down texture like I’ve seen in other restaurants. In addition, it also had the right sweetness. Many Chinese restaurants think that more sweetness equals better taste (ie. Thai House). It’s not an adventurous dish, however, the pork was not fatty, so I was happy here and the kids enjoyed it too. Especially when you add it to the delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

The next variety dish that we ordered was the Daulat Tuanku Special.  Another difficult one to pronounce.  The tray of food was composed of Jumbo Prawns, Beef Curry, and Homestyle Fried Chicken topped with Prawn chips.

Daulat Tuanku Special

Starting with the Jumbo Prawns, the flavour was tasty but don’t forget to dip it in the spicy chili sauce.  That’s when you really get the taste!

Jumbo Sambal Prawns

The Kari Lembu is a dish that is very rich flavour.  It would have been a perfect complement with steamed rice.  However, since we ordered the Hainanese chicken rice (which is quite tasty on it’s own), the Malay curry beef overpowered the taste of the rice itself.

Kari Lembu

The next dish is one of my favourites.  The Homestyle Fried Chicken is nothing like the traditional Western Fried chicken.  Batter is not used in the Malay style of cooking this dish. The Chicken is well seasoned and fried until the chicken is cooked just right.

Home Style Fried Chicken

I’ve had Eggplant Hot Pot in many Chinese restaurants in the past, however, this is the first time I have ever tried Hot & Sour Eggplant Hot Pot. Served in a sizzling in a clay pot, every mouth full we had was exploding with flavour. This dish must be consumed with rice.

The final dish we ordered is the traditional Pad Thai Noodles served with Shrimp and Sambal Egg. Served with Bean sprouts and peanuts sprinkled on top, the noodles had a hint of sweetness and spiciness. This dish was nothing out of the ordinary and is not one of my favourites here.

All in all, I enjoyed most of the dishes and the service was exceptional. I can’t say that I’ve had similar experiences at the other locations, however, I will definitely be coming back to the Tropika on Cambie!

Gimmicks are a staple of the music industry. Whether it be manufactured bands, or certain looks, it's mostly been done before. But what if you brought to life the great horror heroes of our time and put them together into a manufactured band? You get the Slashstreet Boys.

While it's not as cool as you'd think upon first inspection, it's a legit take. It's like looking at Ghost, then hearing them play.

From one pain to another

4 weeks ago I finally had the operation to remove the lower interlocking bolt from my broken leg. I was a little anxious, not knowing what to expect once I’d had the operation.

Better, but not

4 hours after I woke from the operation, that went smoothly, I was walking. Walking without a limp, without aid and carrying things up the stairs. I thought normality had returned.

But then the muscle aches started. 6 months of not walking has taken it’s toll and I have little to no muscle in my calf.

More is more

I’ve started private physio. It’s not that the NHS isn’t great, but they can’t see me as often as I think I need to in order to make a better progress. My sessions yesterday included some soft tissue manipulation.  This was like a really intense deep tissue massage only on my recovering leg)except with more excruciating pain.

Today I’m suffering and the 90 minutes of hot Bikram yoga (or Chinese Water Torture as I now will refer to it) has left me quite strained.

I just want the series of pain to end.

In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.

Noah's 1828 Dictionary

First dictionary of the American Language!

Noah Webster, the Father of American Christian education, wrote the first American dictionary and established a system of rules to govern spelling, grammar, and reading. This master linguist understood the power of words, their definitions, and the need for precise word usage in communication to maintain independence. Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions.

This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies.

No other dictionary compares with the Webster's 1828 dictionary. The English language has changed again and again and in many instances has become corrupt. The American Dictionary of the English Language is based upon God's written word, for Noah Webster used the Bible as the foundation for his definitions. This standard reference tool will greatly assist students of all ages in their studies. From American History to literature, from science to the Word of God, this dictionary is a necessity. For homeschoolers as well as avid Bible students it is easy, fast, and sophisticated.

In 2004, One on One Basketball joined forces with the Chicago-Casablanca Sister Cities Organization to develop and help implement ”Casa-Basket”. Casa Basket was a ten year commitment between Chicago and Casablanca to teach basketball to approximately 900 children a year from Casablanca’s poorest neighborhoods. The program focused on giving kids a positive outlet through the sport of basketball. The targeted neighborhoods were viewed as a high recruitment area for terrorist organizations. The program was very successful and One on One’s role was cited in a Pew Global Attitudes Report that documented increasingly positive views of the United States by Moroccan citizens.

Should Nnamdi Kanu contest for president in 2019?

Perhaps the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu should run for the office of the President in 2019.

It would be interesting to have someone with such a gargantuan support base run for election.

Nnamdi Kanu is arguably one of the most controversial personalities of our time. He is also the only one in a long while who has been able to garner the attention the Igbos – a people characterised by acephalous egalitarianism. Even the great Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu lost them at a point in time.

Nnamdi Kanu was born immediately after the civil war; hence he is free from the burden of history. He is young, educated and charismatic, and information savvy, he understands how to use the instrument of propaganda.

The IPOB leader would definitely not be faced with the problem of lack of name recall, because he has a name that resonates across all boundaries, he has the social capital. There is arguably no other politician in the southeast that has the kind of followership base that Kanu has. Perhaps only President Buhari can rival him in terms of his fanatical followership base. They do not just have followers; their followers are fanatically committed to them.

For several years, he has appealed to the sentiments and emotion of his people from abroad using the instrument of propaganda; he has succinctly communicated his intentions and won them over. He has reawakened the elusive Biafran dream, daring to give it a scintilla of hope even when it is obviously dead never to rise again, at least in our time. How about Kanu channeling these energies to contesting for the office of the President in 2019. Hence, giving the Ibos a generally accepted candidate for the election.

He has been able to unusually draw attention to the plight of his people even when similar efforts by other groups before IPOB had failed. He recently had meetings with the governors of the southeast with Professor Ben Nwabueze accompanying him, he had announced a public holiday within the Federal Republic, and he was largely obeyed, he has threatened the upcoming Anambra election with a boycott and got the leaders waltzing around with panic and coward nervousness.

This Kanu guy should run for the office of the President in 2019, he is popular not only among his people. Even the Southeast socio cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo is being political in their dealings with him. He has also gotten the attention of the southwest, at least in his fellow Biafran, Ayo Fayose who has also announced his Presidential ambition.

And the moment, there is no other young person with the social capital, fanatical followership base, name recall, and even the financial muscle that Nnamdi Kanu has. He might be a maverick, but he is definitely a break from the usual and extant generation of politicians we are used to. Hence he should test his popularity in 2019.

But first, he has to drop the illusory Biafran dream and find a way to achieving it within a united Nigeria.

Maybe in Kanu’s Nigeria, we would all stop being seen as animals in a zoo, first by him.

  1. Everything u attributes to this arrogant sycophant (kanu ) are outright ignorant . Don’t forget he came from the tribe that is minority among the three tribes in the country . ( HAUSA/FULANI , YUROBAS , NIGBORS )
    I don’t believe if he ran for office among his own people for a major political office ( Governor ) he can be elected much less to a position of PRESIDENT for the entire nation .
    He’s taking the advantage of the uneducated poor traders and ignorance backward kidnappers criminals The so-called educated NIGBORS are not supporting him .

Top Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades: Adobe, Corning, Costco, GrubHub, Kroger, Micron, Shopify, SLM, Walmart, Yelp and More

Print Email

Stocks were indicated to open marginally higher on Friday, but not so much that the direction of this day looked set. U.S. equity indexes remain near all-time highs at a time that most international markets are not close to their highs. One issue that stands out to U.S. investors is that they have seen less upside from buying on market pullbacks than in prior years. Investors also need to consider how they want to have their investments positioned for the rest of 2018.

24/7 Wall St. reviews dozens of analyst research reports each day of the week to find new ideas for investors and traders alike. Some analyst reports cover stocks to buy, but some of them cover stocks to sell or to avoid.

Additional commentary has been added on most of the daily analyst reports, along with trading history. The consensus analyst price targets and other valuation metrics are from the Thomson Reuters sell-side research service.

These are the top analyst upgrades, downgrades and initiations seen on Friday, September 14, 2018.

Adobe Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) was up 0.3% at $268.52 on Thursday and was up less than 0.5% on Friday’s post-earnings reaction to a 52-week and all-time high of $270.94. Citigroup reiterated its Buy rating and raised its target to $325 from $275. KeyBanc reiterated its Overweight rating and raised its target to $286 from $276. Stifel reiterated its Buy rating and raised its target to $325 from $275, and Credit Suisse reiterated its Outperform rating and raised its target to $300 from $275.

ANGI Homeservices Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGI) was started as Outperform and the price target was set at $26 (versus a $22.80 prior close) at Wedbush Securities. The firm noted that the HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List combination has created a company with strong leadership and unmatched scale in a market highlighted with strong structural (and long-term) tailwinds.

Corning Inc. (NYSE: GLW) was raised to Buy from Neutral and the price target was raised to $40 from $32 at Citigroup. The stock closed up over 3% at $35.06 on Thursday and was indicated up another 1.2% at $35.45 on Friday. The consensus target price is $35.72.

Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) was downgraded to Market Perform from Outperform with a $235 price target (versus a $241.27 close) at Wells Fargo.

Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc. (NASDAQ: DNKN) was downgraded to Sector Perform from Outperform, while the price target was maintained at $75 (versus a $76.02 close), at RBC Capital Markets.

D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) was reiterated as Outperform but was added to the Best Ideas List at Wedbush. The firm noted that D.R. Horton has expanded its product lines into the luxury Emerald line, the entry-level Express brand, and active-adult brand Freedom Homes, while it has also maintained a core focus on entry-level to move-up housing with the D.R. Horton brand of homes.

eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY) was started as Neutral at Wedbush. Shares closed up 0.5% at $34.44 on Thursday, in a 52-week range of $32.85 to $46.99 and with a consensus target price of $44.41.

Customer Data for Delta, Sears, Best Buy, Others May Have Been Stolen

Print Email

A malware attack against a company that provides contract chat services to some of America’s best-known companies could have resulted in the leak of hundreds of thousands of customers’ personal information. The data would have been leaked last fall between September 26 and October 12, according to statements from three companies.

It is important to note that no company has yet confirmed that any of its data was stolen. So far only the opportunity to steal customer data has been determined.

Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) said in a statement released Wednesday that some “customer payment information” from clients of third-party chat provider [24] “may have been accessed.” In its statement, Sears Holdings Co. (NASDAQ: SHLD) said it “believed” the malware incident affected “less than 100,000 of our customers’ credit card information.” Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) said in its statement that “information suggests” that “a number” of customers “may have” had their payment information compromised.

A January CNET profile of [24] listed other company clients: American Express Co. (NYSE: AXP), AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), Citigroup (NYSE: C), Hilton Hotels Corp. (NYSE: HLT) and Farmers Insurance. American Express has confirmed to CNET that Amex customer data was not affected by the breach.

In a Wednesday press release, [24] said:

[24] discovered and contained an incident potentially affecting the online customer payment information of a small number of our client companies, and affected clients have been notified. The incident began on Sept. 26, and was discovered and contained on Oct. 12, 2017. We have notified law enforcement and are cooperating fully to ensure the protection of our clients and their customers’ online safety. We are confident that the platform is secure, and we are working diligently with our clients to determine if any of their customer information was accessed.

According to, Delta customers did not have to have interact with the chat service to become infected with the malware and, the report continues, “Delta blamed [24] for exposing the names, addresses, card numbers, CVV numbers, and card expiration dates of potentially several hundred thousand customers.”

Delta has created a dedicated website that it says it will update regularly to address questions and concerns. The airline also said it will directly contact customers who may have been affected by the incident.

Sears said it will establish a hotline for customers by Friday morning, and Best Buy has said it started a website to respond to customer concerns related to this incident and that it will contact affected customers directly. Best Buy also offered free credit monitoring services as needed.

Barneys Digital

For the re-launch of Barneys New York flagship store on Madison Avenue, we developed a series of interactive digital displays throughout the store experience. In the Genes@CO-OP restaurant space on the eighth floor, we used Perceptive Pixel backend technology and hardware to create an interactive “digital river” that flows across a 30-foot banquet table made up of twenty-eight touch screens. The interactive display pulls content from The Window online blog, as well as from the online product catalog. Touching an item pulls up a content overlay and allows the user to interact with it further as well as purchase products. Visitors can use the interface to seamlessly order food, browse articles and videos, shop products and dine — all on the same surface.

For the Barneys Mezzanine space, a series of branded cards populate the screens in an organic way, immersing shoppers in the world of Barneys and announcing new products and collaborations. Interactive store directories placed throughout the store allow customers to quickly navigate departments, view what is on each floor, search specific brands or designers as well as special events and sales. All display types dynamically draw content from a central content management system that allows for real-time content updates. Each display activates the retail experience, allowing customers to curate their journey through the store.
