Nissan’s off-roading, rock-crawling NV Cargo X is no ordinary van

You’ve heard of off-road SUVs and pickup trucks, but what about an off-road van?

That’s exactly what Nissan plans to debut this week at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show. Called the NV Cargo X, it’s a one-off project vehicle fresh off a shakedown cruise along the Pyeatt Draw Trail in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest. The Cargo X won’t go into production, which is just as well, as most delivery services probably aren’t contemplating expansions into Tonto, or any other wilderness areas.

The Cargo X is based on Nissan’s NV2500HD commercial van, but with a few notable modifications. Nissan swapped out the stock 5.6-liter gasoline V8 for the 5.0-liter Cummins diesel V8 from the Titan XD pickup truck. This engine produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque. That torque is especially important off road, because it allows the vehicle to crawl along at low speeds with relatively little throttle input.

The diesel engine is connected to a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. The van also sits on a custom suspension system designed to both add ground clearance and make room for 37-inch General GrabberX3 tires. Sitting on those tires, the NV Cargo X stands over seven-and-a-half feet tall. As if that didn’t make enough of a statement, Nissan also gave the Cargo X some LED spot lights, a tube front bumper that incorporates a winch, and an exterior vinyl wrap.

Nissan built the NV Cargo X in partnership with Ian Johnson, host of the television show Xtreme Off-Road. He shed some light on why anyone would want an off-road commercial van, saying the Cargo X’s capacious van body can hold enough equipment to allow it to “serve as its own support vehicle” on remote trails.

That might not be enough to sustain a market for off-road-ready vans, but it might give off-road enthusiasts something to think about when choosing new project vehicles. And we’ll never look at a Nissan NV van the same way again.

Samsung announces new 4TB external drives, each weighing well under one pound

Samsung announced on June 17 that it has developed the world’s thinnest and lightest 4TB external hard drives, the M3 Portable and P3 Portable. The company states that they are the first 4TB USB-powered single-drive solutions to come in 2.5-inch-long cases. They each weigh approximately 8.3 ounces, making them ideal portable storage solutions, according to MaximumPC.

The M3 Portable and P3 Portable have similar hardware specifications, despite their differences in appearance. The M3 Portable has a USB 3.0 transfer rate of up to 4.8 Gb/s, while the P3 Portable has a USB 3.0 transfer rate of 5.0 Gb/s. Both are also capable of using a USB 2.0 or older, but you’ll need a USB 3.0 port in order to take full advantage of the high transfer speeds.

The hard drives have capabilities ranging from between 500GB to 4TB. The M3 Portable has a blocky case with an etched design, while the P3 Portable has a smooth casing. It also seems to be a bit thinner than the case for the M3 Portable. Neither model requires an external power supply to work.

“Previously only attainable in desktop or bulky multi-drive internal designs, we can now achieve a 4TB capacity in a compact drive thanks to the latest Samsung HDD technology,” said Dave Klenske, director of product line management at Samsung HDD. “By going to a single drive solution, we can power the drive through just a USB connection while fitting it into a case that is only a 1/10 of an inch thicker than our 2TB drive.”

Thus far, Samsung hasn’t announced official prices for the products. However, it says that they will be available to consumers by late June. Newegg is selling the 2TB edition of the P3 Portable hard drive for $90, which may hint at the pricing for the upcoming models.

Hip-hop happy: TuneTable helps kids learn coding basics through music

As some states consider computer coding as a foreign-language high school credit, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Northwestern University are developing a musical table to teach kids the basics of programming. They’re calling the interactive exhibit TuneTable, and they hope its vibe will resonate with youth across the United States.

The table emerged from a design challenge that Brian Magerko, the project lead and an associate professor at GT, posed to his students. Magerko and his team had already created EarSketch, an online platform that allows high school students to make music through code, and in doing so practice languages like Python, JavaScript, and Blockly by blending beats, effects, and samples. Magerko asked his college students to apply a similar approach to an informal learning environment, and to compress the weeks’ worth of learning time involved in EarSketch to just a few minutes.

“We focus on musical genres that have a rich history in sample-based composition, like hip-hop and electronica.”

The result looks something like a digital air hockey table equipped with pucks and speakers. Using computer vision, the table’s interactive surface reads printed markers on the pucks, each of which corresponds to a sampled sound or command. Through these commands, kids are introduced to basic coding concepts like iterations, functions, and conditionals, accompanied by contemporary music like hip-hop and electronica.

“Traditional Western music is fairly difficult to compose in, especially for a novice with no prior training in music theory,” Magerko tells Digital Trends. “Rather than try to tackle that difficult problem, we sidestep the theory issue by focusing on musical genres that have a rich history in sample-based composition, like hip-hop and electronica.”

TuneTable is designed to let students manipulate musical samples, which Magerko says gives it a relatively easy learning curve. “It also doesn’t hurt that these genres are wildly popular in U.S. youth culture,” he says, “adding the potential for a higher degree of personal relevance to a learner compared to writing programs to make simple classical melodies and harmonies, for instance.”

Although TuneTable is still in its prototype phase, the device is expected to be installed next year at the Museum of Design Atlanta and Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. In the meantime, Magerko and his team are considering adding other basic coding concepts to challenge kids to explore further.

“The real trick is to balance a gentle initial learning curve — and different age users — with the potential for exploration and expressivity,” he says.

Bethesda says Skyrim: Dawnguard may not come to PS3 due to technical issues

skyrim dlc ps3

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim players on PlayStation 3 may need to accept an unpleasant truth in the near future: The game you have is the only game you get. Your Dragonborn may not ever get to build a house or start a family with Hearthfire. The vampires already hanging out in the caves of your Skyrim are the only vampires you’ll get to fight or turn into, because expansion Dawnguard may not ever come to the PS3.

Bethesda’s been quiet about Dawnguard’s release beyond the Xbox 360 version that came out in July, and it turns out that the company wasn’t just being cagey. Dawnguard is proving a sticky wicket to fit into Sony’s console. In a post on Bethesda’s official forums the developer explained that technical issues are preventing  the expansion from running properly on PS3.

Skyrim is a massive and dynamic game that requires a lot of resources, and things get much more complex when you’re talking about sizable content like Dawnguard,” reads the statement, “We have tried a number of things, but nonw of solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone. The PS3 is a powerful system, and we’re working hard to deliver the content you guys want. Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so this issue of adding content gets even more complicated.”

“This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.”

Back on Jul. 30, Bethesda hit Twitter to explain that no announcement of Dawnguard for other platforms had been made but that new content like mounted combat would come to PS3 with Skyrim patch 1.7.

Dawnguard’s problems on PlayStation 3 are none too surprising. When the game released last November, the PlayStation 3 version was plagued by frequent game crashes and crippling slowdown. The root of the problem is the way Skyrim games were saved on the console. Save files could grow to over 6MB as play time extended in the game. While patches for the game have eased those problems, the addition of Dawnguard no doubt exacerbates the original problem.

Bethesda has always had problems getting its games to run on the PlayStation 3. Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion all struggled as ports. That Bethesda is working hard to remedy these issues on the platform at all is impressive though. The game’s already sold well on the platform, more than 4 million copies worldwide, far more than the superior PC edition.

James Estill Wall

March 18, 1920May 25, 2018

James Estill Wall died on May 25, 2018, at SouthMinster Retirement Community in Charlotte.

Mr. Wall was born in Grapevine, Texas, on March 18, 1920, to the late Beulah Estill Wall and Clifford Jenkins Wall. He received a degree in Chemical Engineering and an Officer’s Commission in the U.S. Army Reserve from Texas A&M University in 1940. He went to work for the Procter & Gamble Co. in Dallas, Texas, but was called to active duty in Washington, DC, just after Pearl Harbor on December 14, 1941, and served in the War Department during all of 1942. He transferred to pilot training, finishing on the air base in Sarasota, FL where he met his future wife, Helen Hereford on December 24, 1943.

He was shipped to India in February 1944 and flew various models of the P-51 fighter in combat with the 530th Fighter Squadron of the Army Air Corps (the Air Force was not created as a separate service branch until after WWII). He failed to return from his 41st mission on December 6, 1944 in North China and finished the war as a prisoner of the Japanese.

After his release and repatriation to the U.S., Jimmy married Helen Hereford on January 5, 1946, and then had three children. He then had multiple careers. He spent a few more years with the Procter & Gamble Co. and then went to work for the Celanese Corporation in 1952. He came to Charlotte with Celanese in 1965. Both his daughters were married in Charlotte. He was transferred to the New York Office during that time, but came back to Charlotte when he retired from Celanese in 1979. He then began an 18-year career as the only non-attorney to serve as a Trustee for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Charlotte.

Mr. Wall was Past President of the Charlotte Central Lions Club and a long-time member of Myers Park County Club where he and Helen enjoyed lots of parties, dances, and many games of golf. Jimmy and Helen loved international travel and they saw most of the world from Viet Name and Cambodia to Argentina, Kenya to Japan, India to St. Petersburg (Russia), and nearly all of Europe. They also returned to China to the very air base he departed from on his last combat mission.

Mr. Wall is survived by Helen Hereford Wall, his wife of 72 years; children, Peggy Wall Lafferty (John O, Lafferty, Jr.); Barbara Wall Wilson (E. Meade Wilson, III); and James Estill Wall, Jr. (Joanne DiNicola Wall). He has six grandchildren: Margaret Elizabeth (Meghan) Lafferty, Catherine Ann Lafferty, Ashley Meade Wilson (Chelbie Esposito Wilson), Sarah Wilson Tidwell (Nick Tidwell), James Estill Wall, III (Abby Keller Wall), and Erin Taylor Wall. He is also survived by six great-grandchildren: Andrew Careins, Trinity Joy Wall, Lucas Cash Tidwell, Maxwell Declan Wilson, Elliott Spencer Tidwell, and Caleb James Wall.

There will be a memorial service at Southminster Retirement Community at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 16. Mr. Wall’s ashes will be placed in the columbarium of The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in York, South Carolina.

Memorial gifts may be made to Hospice & Palliative Care, Charlotte Region, P.O. Box 470408, Charlotte, NC 28247 or to a charity of your choice.

You'll feel right at home from the moment you enter our hotel

"One wonders, in this place, why anyone is left in Dublin, or London, or Paris, when it would be better one would think, to live in a tent, or a hut, with this magnificent sea and sky, and to breathe this wonderful air, which is like wine in one's teeth."

J.M. Synge - In West Kerry

Enjoy a coffee in our comfortable reception area

"The tip of the Dingle Peninsula is marked by a chalky statue of a crucifix. It faces the sea, but it seems like about half the time, it's actually facing a cloud with zero visibility being whipped by sheets of rain … Yes, the weather is a force on the west coast of Ireland. But when the sun comes out, everything rejoices."

Rick Steves

Enjoy a drink in the Brandon Bar

"Best road I've ever driven on. Had no idea it existed. A great, great day."

Maxxis Ardent 60 TPI Wire Single Compound Tyre (26 x 2.25) with an aggressive tread on a high-volume casing, is designed with great traction in mind. The Ardent doesn’t forget the racer, with large block-style side knobs offering numerous edges for high-speed cornering. The centre tread, while ideal for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider’s needs.

Rubber Compounds - The most important part of a tyre is arguably the rubber compound within the tread. By changing the amounts of various components of the rubber formula, engineers can make two identical looking tyres perform completely differently.

This tyre uses Single Compound - One compound throughout the tread optimized for longevity and performance.

Wire Bead - The function of the bead is to keep the tyre in contact with the rim while inflated. A wire bead is a rigid metal wire utilized as bead material in applications where ultimate strength is needed and transportability is not a factor.

Brag about your Husqvarna

Why Brag about your Husqvarna ? - They are Durable and Dependable Motocross Bikes.

Husqvarna started manufacturing motorcycles in 1903 and developed a twin cylinder engine seventeen years later. After that, they never looked back. When motocross became a popular sport, Husqvarna motocross bikes were there, dominating the competition in both the 1960s and the 1970s.

Husqvarna brought about acceptance of the two-stroke engine for motocross during the 1960s. In the United States, the heavy and cumbersome BSA, Triumph and Harley-Davidson bikes served as motocross bikes. Those made in Europe were lighter, more durable and easier to handle.

Durable and Dependable Husqvarna Motocross Bikes

Edison Dye was on a motorcycle tour of Europe and noted the alloy engine components that set Husqvarna apart from other MX bikes. At his request, rider Malcolm Smith rode and reviewed the Husky with positive accolades.

Dye signed on to import them to the States. Smith starred with Steve McQueen in “On Any Sunday” which featured the 1970 Husqvarna eight-speed 250cc and led to their popularity in the states. During the 60s and 70s, Husqvarna riders won fourteen motocross world championships in three separate divisions, 125cc, 250cc and 500cc.

On top of those honors, the Huskies also took twenty-four world championships for Enduro. The “Flyin’ Finn” Heikki Mikkola showed the manner MX is best in the 70s and received his 1974 World Grand Prix 500cc championship with a Husqvarna.

Not a bad Brag about your Husqvarna fact.

The motorcycle division sold to Cagiva, an Italian motorcycle group, in 1987, with the bikes built in Varese, Italy. BMW Group acquired the Husqvarna Motorcycle business in 2007, with all parts of the business, including Super Moto, Enduro, Street, Dual Purpose and Motocross, handled in Varese. Reintroducing the four-stroke engine in the 90s, Husqvarna motocross bikes are popular in cross-country and Minicross racing, as well.

MX riders are more familiar with the CR125, TC 250 and the TC449. The CR125 MX bike is a great upgrade for those who want to step up their motocross skill and ride. With the two-stroke engine delivering the power needed for competition, the company used their engineering skill to revamp nearly every other feature of the bike for 2009.

The frame protectors, radiator guard and front mudguard protect the rider and the bike. The fuel tank moved, a new carburetor appeared and the seat design and shape adjusted for rider comfort. The swing arm is now an aluminum tubular piece. You can Brag about your Husqvarna from a technical standpoint too, as these bikes are so well built.

The Husky TC449 had some changes in 2011, a few of which upgraded for 2012, such as the placement of the tank under the seat to balance the center of gravity. The airbox is higher in the frame, allowing a draw of clean, fresh air. The MX 4 valve dual camshaft engine delivers more power than that of the Enduro bike and features a different compression ratio. The exhaust system and five-speed transmission also differ from that of Enduro, to deliver the power as needed for each situation.

CTS or coaxial traction system is the idea of designing Husqvarna motocross bikes so the center of gravity is concentrated on the frame to deliver the ultimate in competitive racing. The variation in chain length that previously occurred during rear suspension movement interfered with bike handling.

Now eliminated, the chain has no change in length. Electronic fuel injection and electric start, which saves time when trying to restart the engine, make 2012 a great year to consider a Husqvarna.

Time to Brag about your Husqvarna Bike.

Djuna Day Studio rents full- and part-time workshop space to independent furniture makers and artists.

Shop Culture

The workshop is an evolving group of half a dozen furniture makers and artists. We value craft and quality, and are readily willing to share our knowledge and techniques. We each run our own businesses or work on our own projects. That said, we often assist each other, collaborate on ideas, share clamps and advice, and lend an extra hand when needed. Turnover is low so we all get to know each other’s work. It’s a nice place to be.

Djuna keeps the shop very well organized and maintained. Besides all the great machinery, the environment and atmosphere is respectful and pleasant to be a part of. Coming from previous co-op wood shops, it is fair to say that this is definitely one of the best workshops I have ever been a part of.
— Pawel S.

The studio is equipped with an array of traditional woodworking machinery. This includes:  a 5 hp industrial table saw, 12” jointer, 20” planer, 17” band saw, radial arm saw, drill press, 48” edge sander, lathe, and full dust collection.  The machinery is well maintained and the shop is clean and organized.  There is lumber and sheet good storage.  Renters have access to all the shop’s shared machinery.   Everyone supplies their own hand tools and handheld power tools.

We are a group of independant furniture makers, wood turners, and sculptors. We are Sheridan grads, Humber grads, self-taught woodworkers, artists, and hobbyists each looking for dedicated space in a shared and collaborative professional woodshop.

Djuna Day Studio is a queer-positive space.

The workshop is located in the Six Points neighbourhood of Etobicoke, a large industrial area between Islington and Kipling Avenues, just south of Bloor. It is within walking distance of the Islington TTC Station. There are no fancy coffee shops, no imminent condos.  The building features 24-hour access, plenty of parking, an overhead door, and ground floor access. The workshop is secure and the neighbourhood is safe.

Spaces and Rates

Djuna Day Studio has five full-time, dedicated bench spaces available and two part-time spaces available. Full-time renters have 108 square feet (9’ x 12’) of dedicated work space and unlimited time in the studio.  Part-time renters share a work space and are limited to 10 hours a week in the studio.  Full-time spaces are $550+HST/month and part-time spaces are $250+HST/month.  Rent includes hydro, trash collection, blade and knife sharpening, abrasives, machinery maintenance, and wifi.

Why Stanley Marcus’ Vision Transcends Time

The late Stanley Marcus was a one-of-a-kind visionary. But he set an example for business success that’s still relevant.

For someone with an interest in business, having lunch with Stanley Marcus was always a treat. (He favored omelettes and  L’Ancestral restaurant, and I thought both choices were the height of sophistication.) Besides helping give Dallas its global reputation for classy, well-dressed women, the late Neiman Marcus scion was an unrepentant champion of quality goods, imaginative marketing, and, above all, superb customer service.

No sale is a good sale unless the customer is completely satisfied, “Mr. Stanley” would say. To really determine what the public wants, he advised his buyers at the specialty luxury store, they should get out on the selling floor and listen. At one time a special telephone was installed at the downtown Neiman’s so that, if customers had a question or a complaint, they could call Mr. Stanley directly.
Partly as a result of such commonsensical—but uncommon—attitudes, Marcus’ influence on other businesspeople continues, well after his death in 2002 at the age of 96.

I’ve been thinking about this lately because of our Neiman Marcus story (“Period of Adjustment”), and because one of Marcus’ key executives has written a book that brings to life his old boss’ tastemaking, sales ability, and, yes, showmanship.

Titled Stanley Marcus: The Relentless Reign of a Merchant Prince, the new book by Thomas E. Alexander reminds us that, in addition to everything else, Marcus was a demanding taskmaster with perfectionist standards. But it was also his freewheeling creativity, his unusual accessibility to press and patrons, and his rock-solid consistency that put Neiman Marcus on the international retailing map.

Marcus’ “Fortnight” celebrations—which highlighted the products and folkways of a foreign country each October—started out as a scheme to boost store traffic during a traditionally slow retailing month. But they wound up galvanizing the entire region with community-wide cultural, educational, and social activities. Similarly, Mr. Stanley’s annual His and Her Christmas gifts (a pair of camels one year, Chinese junks another) attracted unimagined renown for their audaciousness and spirit.

As Diana Kunde’s cover story this month points out, Marcus presided over far fewer stores than today’s struggling Neiman Marcus Group, which no longer is owned by the Marcus family but by two private-equity groups. Nonetheless, you have to wonder whether Neiman’s current operators have done all they can to nourish the “specialness” of this Dallas retail landmark. Are they consistently listening to their customers, for example, as Mr. Stanley advised? Are they truly insisting on uniqueness in their merchandise? Are they being as imaginative as they possibly can in their advertising and promotional efforts?

The luxury market is evolving, yes, and there was only one Stanley Marcus. But the thing is, the business philosophy he espoused is timeless. Here’s hoping the current Neiman’s leadership, and other retailers who claim to follow Marcus’ credo, will read Alexander’s book carefully—and then re-dedicate themselves to Mr. Stanley’s example.

Keep me up to date on the latest happenings and all that D Magazine has to offer.

DMGS Capitol Commentary- January 2018
2018 Gubernatorial Preview: West Coast
In less than a year, voters in 36 states will decide on their respective Governors during the 2018 midterm elections. Many of these contests have already become competitive with a host of Republican and Democratic nominees announcing their candidacy.

This month, we’re looking at races and key players in Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon.

Throughout 2018, DMGS will be sharing updates on gubernatorial races across the U.S. with expert commentary and insight from our team.

Capitol Commentary: Around the Country
Three California issues to watch in 2018

Rising rents and home prices forced California’s housing crisis to the front of Gov. Jerry Brown’s and lawmakers’ agenda in 2017. Legislators passed the most comprehensive package of housing bills in recent memory designed to increase spending on low-income development and encourage more construction in general. But the bills, according to independent analyses, won’t do much to make housing cheaper in the state.

Expect more focus on housing issues at the Capitol and on the statewide ballot in 2018. The LA Times explores three issues, including:
1. Battles over Rent Control;

2. The Future of Prop 13;

3. Budget drama in 2018

State to place first statue of a woman in Capitol in 2018
A Lexington sculptor with family ties to Glasgow and Bowling Green is creating the first sculpture of a woman that will be placed in the Kentucky Capitol.

Amanda Matthews, president of the board and founder of the Artemis Initiative – a nonprofit organization devoted to creating public art to elevate the status of women, children and minorities – is creating a bronze sculpture of the late Nettie Depp, the first woman who ran for public office in Barren County. She was elected as county schools superintendent in 1913, seven years before the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteed women the right to vote.
The bronze portrait is tentatively scheduled to take its historical place inside the west entrance of the Capitol sometime in August, Matthews said.

Anti-Opioid measures signed in MI State Capitol

District Judge Linda Davis says the families she sees in her courtroom, are sometimes devastated by opioid addiction and overdoses. She says she is reminded of the heart-wrenching toll that HIV/Aids claimed on families she observed during a trip to South Africa.

She made the comments as LT. Governor Brian Calley signed the state’s latest package of bills to combat abuse of the drug on Wednesday.

The primary measures improve and require use of a new computer tracking system called MAPS that provides an easily accessed registry of everyone who is being prescribed painkillers. Sponsor Tonya Schuitmaker says her fight against opioids began after Linda King lost her child to the drug, and began working with others for solutions.

Two of the bills sponsored by Rep. Beth Griffin of Mattawan will add anti-opioid lessons to school curriculums.

New Mexico
State senator wants study of soda tax

Debate over a soda tax in New Mexico is about to bubble up again as Sen. Gerald Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, plans to ask his colleagues in the Legislature next month to support studying a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks.

New Mexico’s gross receipts tax system includes an exemption on the sale of food, including colas, root beer and other sugary drinks.

“We get absolutely zero from the sale of soft drinks,” Ortiz y Pino said Wednesday, “and yet they are incredibly damaging in terms of health care costs that we then have to pick up."

In May, Santa Fe voters rejected a proposal to impose a tax of 2 cents per ounce on the distributors of sugar-sweetened beverages, with the revenue earmarked for early childhood programs.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez highlighted the results as a sign that voters aren’t ready for higher taxes, even in liberal Santa Fe.

New York
Andrew Cuomo is waging an all-out assault on the GOP tax law

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is fighting back against the GOP's tax law, signed by President Donald Trump last week after months of legislative wrangling on Capitol Hill.

Cuomo is specifically targeting a change to the so-called SALT deduction, which currently allows high-income taxpayers in states like New York and California who itemize their deductions to benefit from an unlimited deduction on state and local taxes. Under the new Republican law, that SALT deduction is now capped at $10,000.

“We’re going to propose a restructuring of our tax code," Cuomo said in an interview with CNN on Thursday. "I‘m not even sure what [Republicans] did is legally constitutional and that’s something we’re looking at now."

In a subsequent tweet, Cuomo called the tax law "partisan" and said he believes that the cap on SALT is punishment for tax payers in overwhelmingly Democratic states.

What the Tax Bill will Mean for Vermont Home Owners

The bill includes many changes that will affect Vermont's housing sector, according to Sarah Carpenter, executive director of the Vermont Housing Finance Agency, a non-profit created in 1974 to finance and promote affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income Vermonters.

Carpenter says the final bill does preserve a number of things that support affordable housing.

"But we don't know all of the depth of it and we have some overall concerns around how this might affect appropriations for housing and lots of things that could affect our clients and homeowners. But the housing provisions are adequate," Carpenter said.

DMGS Updates
In mid December, DMGS Managing Director Eric Martins spent time with OR Governor Kate Brown at the Council of State Governments National Conference in Las Vegas.
DMGS Director Ted Christian with former Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski promoting the new book "Let Trump Be Trump" at a signing in Quakertown, PA. Lewandowski's book tells his stories from the campaign trail with now President, Donald Trump.

Roommates 5: Episode 9

The Move

Scared to enter the room with her friends, Georgina kept lagging behind.

Till April who opened the door had to turn back and ask her, ‘What’s the matter? Are you not coming in?’

Loveth lowered herself into one of the sofas and put one fleshy leg over the other.

On her face, a burning flame of anger danced.

Abuchi took a seat across from her and battled a yawn.

Finally, Georgina stepped into the room and April locked the door.

She walked toward Loveth and called her by her name: ‘Loveth?’

Nothing about Loveth suggested she even heard Georgina.

‘Love?’ Georgina called again.

Still, Loveth remained unresponsive.

Georgina stepped further towards her. ‘See, you have to understand that I was very tensed that night and it’s not like I know the woman would ever turn out to be your boss’s wife.’

Still, not a word came from Loveth. She only shifted a little, turning her face completely away from Georgina.

April came toward them now. But she obviously did not know how to come in, so she just stood there, looking on.

Georgina turned to her. She nudged her. ‘April, say something na.’

‘Something like what?’ April asked Georgina.

‘Anything to get Loveth understand that she is better off not working with somebody as capricious as that woman.’

‘What do you mean by capricious?’ April asked. ‘And who taught you that English?’

‘I don’t know the meaning,’ Georgina said. ‘My boss says it all the time.’

April let off a sigh, swaying her head.

Georgina turned back to Loveth. ‘Loveth, you saw how that woman is? Do you really think you would have survived under her?’

Now Loveth’s attention was finally caught. She turned to Georgina with ferocious eyes. ‘Really?’ she barked. She uncrossed her legs and stood.

Georgina drew back, as with fear.

‘Georgina, really?’ Loveth growled again.

Georgina sighed now, eyes dropping in defeat. ‘Loveth, fine, I am very sorry for what happened, okay? But in my defence I was never aware!’

‘Stop!’ Loveth yelled. ‘Stop it right there!’

April and Georgina looked at each other with shocked faces.

Loveth pointed a cautioning finger to Georgina. ‘You don’t apologize while at the same time keep going defensive over and over again! Your stupid act—anger, as you called it—just cost me the only job I ever got since we finished NYSC. And in case you don’t know, the rent of this flat has long expired and April is no more working. Without this job, we are basically homeless.’

‘I’m sorry,’ Georgina said. ‘I’m truly am.’

It took nearly a full minute before the fury in Loveth’s face dropped and her eyes sunk back into their sockets.

‘Perhaps we should all go and apologize to the woman and see if she will change her mind,’ April suggested.

The next day they all went to see Lady Geraldine. But she couldn’t even allow them into her room, not to mention hear whatever they had to say.

They waited and waited, till they got tired and left.

That same evening Gloria called Georgina on the phone.

Her message was brief and to the point. ‘Come to the house immediately!’

A few minutes passed and Georgina knocked on the door and entered.

Gloria stood facing the wall, her flowing, rose-coloured night dress covering her like a Japanese kimono.

‘Madam?’ Georgina called.

Gloria turned to her. Her countenance was quiet. She took a moment and then began. ‘Georgina dear, it’s been a remarkable experience having you around this short period you worked in my home, but I have to say this is the end of it.’

Georgina’s eyes bulged.

Gloria picked a brown envelope from the coffee table and stretched it to Georgina. ‘Here. That’s your pay for this month and an extra two months up front.’

Georgina was slow to collect the envelope from Gloria.

Gloria dropped it on the table for her. ‘Go up into your room and pack your belongings.’

‘Madam, what did I do na?’

Gloria shook her head. ‘Nothing, my dear. Nothing absolutely. I must say it’s a tough decision to make but I am at that point in my marriage right now that I can no longer afford to keep secrets. My husband and I have talked, real deeply, and we’ve made some decisions. I wish you well in your other life’s endeavours.’

When Georgina entered April’s house with her bags and boxes, the girls could not say a word.

Two days after, April was served a notice.

She has five days to vacate the flat or risk being forcefully thrown out.

They started packing immediately.

Outside the gate that evening, two days after, Loveth asked April, ‘So where to now?’

April shook her head. ‘I don’t know.’ Another shake of head. ‘I don’t.’

And just then a clean, ruby-coloured Camry came to a halt in their front and a familiar face came down.

‘Max!’ April screamed, running towards the young man that just got down from the vehicle.

‘April, honey!’ Max hugged April back.

April touched his suit. ‘Look at you! You look so dashing!’

‘You don’t look bad either,’ Max said, blushing.

While April and Max reminisced, Georgina bent towards Loveth and whispered: ‘Is that not that gay boy at school then that walks like his waist is sitting on ball bearings?’

Loveth gave a faint smile. ‘Max? Yes, that’s him.’

‘Why is he now looking like a man?’ Georgina whispered again.

‘Is he not a man before?’ Loveth said.

‘Hmm.’ Georgina scrunched up her lips.

April touched Max’s beard again. ‘Really, you now leave a beard too?’

‘My dear, my ex talked me into it. I also joined a gym class too, you won’t believe it! The stupid things we do for love!’

April threw out a laugh. ‘You haven’t changed!’

‘Change? Do people ever do that?’

April laughed again.

Max looked up at Georgina and Loveth. ‘Wait, these are still those your roommates back in school, right?’

‘Yes.’ April pointed. ‘That’s Loveth and that’s Georgina.’

‘Oh my God!’ Max waved. ‘Loveth, didn’t you see me? Come over here, girl!’

Loveth was walking towards Max when Georgina drew her back. ‘Stay where you are, let him come here and meet us.’

Finally, Max was in their front. He hugged them both and pinched at Loveth’s cheek. ‘Look how fresh you look!’

‘You mean fat?’ Loveth said.

‘Come on, big is the new sexy now, you of all people should know that!’ Max said.

Loveth smiled and the two hugged again.

Abuchi came closer and shook hands with Max. ‘His face looks familiar,’ Max said, narrowing his gaze.

‘I’m sure you’ve met him,’ April said. ‘Georgina’s boyfriend.’

‘Oh wow! He is now so buff and sexy!’

Abuchi was smiling when Georgina immediately came and stood in his front, as if to shield him from Max.

Max pretended not to notice and only jiggled his car keys. ‘So where are you guys off to, and why so many bags?’

‘Actually, we are on our way to a vacation,’ Georgina said at once.

‘Vacation? At this time of the year?’

‘We are big girls; we do whatever we want!’

‘I see. So where exactly is your destination?’

‘First stop is Zanzibar and then we might touch Rwanda for some mountain gorillas.’

‘Oh great!’ Max said. ‘Was at the Maru Maru some months ago. Tanzania is a beautiful country.’

‘It certainly is,’ Georgina echoed.

April and Loveth glanced at each other.

Max turned back to April. He passed a Samsung Galaxy. ‘April darling, let me have your number back, I must get back to the office now. I only came out for lunch.’

‘Where do you work?’ April asked as she collected the phone from Max.

‘Blue Cosmos.’

Blue Cosmos Media and Advertising?’ Georgina and April gasped at the same time.

‘Yes, my darlings. I only just started though. Prior to that, it hadn’t been easy at all!’

‘Max, we are actually homeless!’ April said.

‘April!’ Georgina screamed.

April ignored her.

‘Oh my dears,’ Max said. ‘I am family, there is no need to put on that front for me.’

Georgina was still scowling at April when Max said: ‘I live in a two-bedroom apartment in Gbagada, you guys are free to have one of the rooms!’

‘Serious?’ April said.

‘What are families for?’ Max said. He turned and looked at Abuchi again. ‘He is coming too, right?’

‘Of course,’ April said.

‘Good. I will have to share my room with him while you ladies can have the other free room. Both rooms are en suite so I don’t think there will be any issue at all.’

‘Thank you so much, Max, but he will be okay in our room,’ Georgina said.

‘Oh come on, I am not the predator you think I am.’

‘We’ll see about that,’ Georgina said, lifting her box.

Across the road, the woman that has been monitoring them all the while they stood with Max wore back her dark glasses and walked away.

How To Remove A Marble Floor

What You'll Need
Safety glasses
Dust mask
Ear plugs
Demolition hammer (sledgehammer)
Regular hammer
Floor Scraper
Pry bar

If you need to know how to remove a marble floor, using the proper tools and little instruction can help simplify the process. Like any do-it-yourself project, take your time so you can ensure both safety and success. Once it’s gone, you’ll be able to tackle that new flooring project you’ve been lining up to accomplish.

Step 1 – Prep the Area

Make sure you remove all the articles from the room where you intend to remove the marble floor. Also examine the floor, making sure there are no loose pieces of anything. You might want to remove any wall hangings to be on the safe side.

Step 2 - Start in the Middle

Starting in the middle of the room, use demolition hammers (sledgehammers) striking at a grout joint to begin breaking up the floor.

Step 3 – Use the Chisel

Ease the chisel underneath the edge of marble tiling, working away from the center. Employ a side to side motion for the most effective removal.

Step 4 – Smaller Areas

You are going to have to use a hammer and chisel in those smaller areas where the demolition hammer is too big and unyielding. Be particularly careful around the corners of the room and doorways.

Step 5 – Missed Spots

The demolition hammer will miss quite a few areas where you’ll need to use either the smaller hammer with chisel or the pry bar to loosen the floor to remove.

Step 6 – Scrape the floor

Once all the debris – large and small – has been removed, use the floor scraper to dislodge any stubborn material still clinging. You made need to make several scraping sweeps to get all the material needed.

NOTE: You should be wearing not only protective eyewear and gloves while removing a marble floor but also wear a dust mask. Breaking up a marble floor will cause a lot of dust to be released. Therefore, pay attention to walls, windows and other areas that may need to be wiped clean after removing the floor. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dust residue.

Don’t throw away any broken up flooring stone. It can be broken up even further to use as decorative stone in walkways, around and in plant beds plus many other uses where the need for chopped up stone exists. Be careful whenever breaking up marble not to injure yourself. Always use the most caution and safe wearing the appropriate protective eyewear. Be sure to store any broken up pieces of marble out of the reach of children. Broken marble can have some pretty sharp edges that would be dangerous if handled by someone without gloves. Never let children play with any broken pieces of marble. If possible, always store marble chips in a safe, dry environment preferably where no one has easy access so as not to get hurt.

Micropoetry - Unseen Verse

I promised some of my micropoetry that's never been published before - even on Twitter.

So I've got you some. :)

These poems have been languishing in my notebook for far too long. It's time to let them fly into the world and be read by you, my dearest nerdlets (Me? Nervous? ...Maybe a little.)

ink divider

I'm like porcelain
If you break me
You let me win

ink divider

scissors cutting thread pic

A modern-day witch
Doing Arachne's work.
I seize the scissors
From cold Fate.
It dances.
Tender pins,
On my skin.

ink divider

Dainty flower -
Strong life.
They cut you down,
call you weed.
They leave bottles
On the pavement.

ink divider

Everything is clear
On a night like this
Muted rain
On the window pane
Hear my breath
Hear my heart
Loudly muffled,
My dear.

ink divider

How can we tell
What the stars
Are thinking?
Thoughts full of fire
An unknown youth
Billions of miles away

Blog Worries

Let me begin by saying that this isn’t a post I planned on writing. It’s something I’m feeling right now, and something I often feel; which I don’t think I’ve ever wrote about on here before. But I often have a few worries which stem from this blog, and I’d like to talk about them.
Having this blog has changed my life completely, no exaggeration.
It’s changed my whole outlook, my mental health state, my creativity, my career, my friends and my overall happiness. It always, always brings me joy and I can’t tell you enough how much that hasn’t once changed, regardless of the things I’m about to mention. I just want you guys to know that.
I often worry about how I’m coming across on this blog; to you right there, behind that screen. I worry that I make spelling and grammar mistakes and look like an idiot. I worry that you think my content is boring. I worry if I do a sponsored post, that you won’t know of the effort and hours I put into it. I worry that I’m not expressing myself as I wish I could. I worry that my personality is not bursting out of this blog like I want it to. I worry that you’ll never know how much it means to me that someone bothers to read the words I put out there.
Even now, I can’t quite put into words the feelings I’m having at the moment which I want to express, and I feel like a failure as a writer. I’ve literally just finished reading Zoe’s post, and it left me kind of amazed that she could feel a bit down about her blog lately. Because every single post of hers inspires me, makes me laugh, makes me smile, fills me with wonder, gets me daydreaming or simply reminds me what I want my own blog to be like. I admire her writing more than anything, as her words are always so passionate and beautiful. I hope to god I can do that one day.
It got me thinking; if someone as awesome as Zoe can be feeling a little down about her blog and it leaves me quite shocked (because her posts are nothing less than perfect to me to be honest), what would people find surprising about the girl behind THIS blog? The answer is probably my worries. I always try to keep my blog (and social media for that matter) perky, full of joy and as positive as can be. So you guys probably don’t even realise the constant worrying or over thinking I do in regards to blog posts.
I care so much about truly expressing myself, and making every single post as good as I can. Yes, even the little Tsum Tsum posts! I just wanted you guys to realise though that people aren’t always as they might seem on their blog. As obvious as that lesson might be; I do think we all need reminding of it every now and again.
So yes, I’m a worrier. I’d just like you all to know that.
Now here’s to hitting publish even though I’m worried this post is awful and makes no sense.

*Any items sent for review are written about 100% honestly and in my own words. Sometimes sponsored content and collaborations with brands will appear on this blog, and will always be marked as such with *. Affiliates links are used throughout this blog. Please see my disclaimer for more info.

Pre-Photokina 2010: Nikon has introduced the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G wide-angle fast prime lens. Offering a large f/1.4 aperture, the lens is made up of 10 elements in seven groups, including one aspherical glass element. It comes in a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body and incorporates the company's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for quieter auto-focusing, along with Nano-Crystal coating to reduce flare. The lens will start shipping from November 19, 2010 at a retail price of £1699.99.

Press Release:

AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G: Primetime Reporter

Nikon UK, 15 September 2010 – Nikon today announces a completely new, fast-aperture NIKKOR lens – the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G. This is the third f/1.4 prime NIKKOR lens to be developed in the past six months further extending creative opportunities for professional photographers.

Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager Lenses, Accessories & Software, Nikon Europe says: “The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G sets a new benchmark for reportage and news photographers. It combines amazing contrast and resolution with brilliant low-light performance. Seen alongside the 24mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.4 lenses announced recently, this new lens underlines Nikon’s ongoing drive to deliver the ultimate range of optics for photographers.”

Award winning photojournalist Kadir van Lohuizen of photo agency NOOR was amongst the first to view the new AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G. He said: “The 35mm is the standard ‘street’ lens for many of us at NOOR and we are really excited about this new version, it’s amazing. This fast prime lens will make it possible to shoot at almost every light condition at the highest-quality possible.” He added: “It’s going to take our documentary projects to a new level for sure.”

Light Command
The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G has been developed to deliver stunning images in all situations. An entirely new optical design with ten elements in seven groups (including one aspherical glass element) and a rounded, nine-blade diaphragm enables the photographer to make full use of the shallow depth of field that f/1.4 aperture lenses offer. Crystal sharp detail with super smooth bokeh separation sets your subject in the spotlight and offers a different look from images taken with the professional f/2.8 zoom lenses.

Night Photography
The optical construction incorporates Nano Crystal Coat and minimises reflections and sagittal blur, which means this lens renders point light sources and shadows with natural clarity, ideal for night scenes and astrophotography.  The fast aperture also provides a bright viewfinder and is great for exploring the creative potential that the shallow depth of field can bring to the work of fine-art photographers and photojournalists.
The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G is built to work as hard as you do and is a robust and reliable performer wherever your photography might take you. The dedicated Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures discreet but accurate autofocus. It operates with smooth gearing and has a broad focus ring for fine manual focus accuracy down to the minimum focusing distance of 30cm. The tough magnesium construction features subtle grooves to assist a left-hand grip as well as rubber mount and switch sealing to deter dust and moisture. Weighing in at a solid 600g, it is designed to balance well with FX format DSLRs such as the D700 and D3 series.

The lens is supplied with a HB-59 hood, and a soft pouch.

Abdominoplasty San Francisco

Abdominoplasty procedures are appropriate for patients with extra skin on their abdomen or for women who have developed loose stomach muscles after pregnancy. Abdominoplasty can remove loose skin and tighten muscles which have been separated. This procedure results in a dramatically flattened abdomen with an incision that is hidden by underwear or a bathing suit. Abdominoplasty is often combined with Liposuction particularly of the waist, abdomen and back to result in the most dramatic improvement in these areas, especially the waistline. Abdominoplasty incisions vary in length and are customized for each patient.

Recovery time varies for each patient and I will discuss this with you at your consultation. The results after Abdominoplasty are often quite dramatic and should last a lifetime.

These things take forever to heal. Keep it clean, use something like neosporin or one of the wound gels and a dressing daily. Make sure he gets enough protein, vit C and zinc to aid healing.
