INTRODUCTION
Until last year, the Ravenna had an MSRP of $120, priced the same as the Adrenaline GTS and similar to other shoes (Nike Structure, Saucony Guide, etc.) in the cushioned support category. The 2017 Ravenna 8 drops its price to $110, placing it a rung below the Adrenaline and giving it a significant value advantage over mild-support models in the $100-115 price band.
While the basic premise of the Ravenna 8 stays the same – it offers mild medial side support integrated with a well-padded midsole – the design language is now closer to the Launch 4. The upper profile of both these models are very similar, and even the Launch 4’s outsole layout is a dead ringer for the Ravenna’s design.
It’s almost as if the Ravenna is now a support version of the neutral Launch 4 instead of a toned-down Adrenaline. By the way, all these design changes are intentional, and perhaps one of the reasons behind the Ravenna 8’s price drop. After all, an $110 MSRP brings it closer to the Brooks Launch’s pricing territory.
The Ravenna 8’s newfound love for the Launch-ish design means that there are changes over the Ravenna 7. The upper loses a lot of layering, and the ride turns slightly firmer.
DESIGN AND MATERIALS
The Ravenna 8 has a clean forefoot design. There’s a stitched-on synthetic toe cap along with a fused layer which extends sideways on the mesh upper. The rest of the toe-box/forefoot is all mesh, with three lacing rows floating over it.
On the midfoot sides are welded Brooks logos which provide cosmetic detailing as well as structure; the lacing area is reinforced with thin, fused layers.
This design is a significant change from the Ravenna 7’s forefoot which was crowded with fused layers. The R7’s toe-bumper was much higher (on the sides) than the 8; that said, the Ravenna 8’s lower toe-bumper is longer on the sides.
It is worth noting that both the Ravenna 6 and 7 had fused toe-bumpers; the Ravenna 8 has a stitched kind. Also, the R8’s toe-bumper gets a reflective trim, something which the 7 did not have.
Two midfoot straps form a part of the lacing. This isn’t new for the Ravenna – the V6 and V7 had these straps too. They’re meant to provide greater lacing cinch around the midfoot area. The soft, round laces pass through these wide loops, so tugging on them results in increased midfoot wrap.
Most of the upper detailing and structure is concentrated in the rearfoot. The synthetic midfoot strap (which connects to the lacing) flares out wide and connects to the midsole, and it’s layered over with a see-through mesh.
The lining used for the heel and tongue is soft, identical to the material used on the Launch 4. The tongue is packed generously with foam, and the heel lining has plenty of it too.
Outside the heel, the Ravenna 8 sticks to an uncluttered layout, using only a vertical piece of molded mesh with reflective detailing. All Ravenna versions so far have used an internal heel counter, and the V8 is no different.
There’s one update which influences the R8’s heel fit. The Achilles dip area has been put together differently than the Ravenna 7; the Ravenna 8’s Achilles dip does not curve inwards as much as the 7 did. While there’s no slippage, the heel grip feels lower when compared to the 7.
For reasons unknown, Brooks has removed the ‘tongue-tied’ loop used on the earlier Ravenna models. In most (other) cases, Brooks uses a second tongue loop to keep the tongue from sliding when there’s no inner sleeve. In the absence of this feature on the R8, expect mild tongue slide.
The Ravenna is marketed as a stability shoe, so the midsole relies on multiple foam densities to deliver the mild motion-control effect. The outer midsole has a softer crash pad (in red) while the inner side has a firmer foam wedge.
One of the design changes we saw in the last year’s Ravenna 7 was the visual integration of the firmer medial wedge into the midsole. Till the Ravenna 6, the firmer medial post was noticed as a distinct visual element. Now it’s hard to tell the density difference unless you poke the midsole with your finger or go for a run.
Although, when compared to other stability shoes in the Brooks assortment (Adrenaline, Beast et al.), the Ravenna’s medial post is quite small and does not produce the same effect. The Ravenna 8 also has a ride which feels softer than the Adrenaline.
On a related note, the R8 has a slightly firmer ride than the 7. This happens due to a couple of factors. The crash pad tones down the deep compression groove which the R6 and 7 had, so the outer midsole becomes a bit firm.
There are a few changes on the outsole too. The forefoot gets an increased coverage of softer blown rubber which fills up most of the gaps seen on the R7. The last generation Ravenna had a longitudinal groove; the R8 fills that over and sticks to sideways oriented flex grooves only. The lug design is smaller too, which translates into improved grip and smoother transitions over the R7.
Certain design elements like the plastic half-shank on the midfoot are carried over from the previous year. This plastic component is only limited to the medial (inner) side; the outer side is an extension of the rubber outsole.
The rearfoot outsole layout looks familiar because you might have seen it on the Launch 4. The landing area is made out of two pieces of rubber separated by an area of exposed foam; the grooves on the rubber crash pad are longer than the Ravenna 7, but is fewer in count. The R7’s outer crash pad had eight flex grooves, while Ravenna 8 only has six.
So in case you’re wondering whether the longer flex grooves makes the ride softer on the R8, the answer is no. Any change in the flex groove design is offset by the latter’s reduced count.
The insole is a removable type which is molded out of soft Biomogo foam, and there’s another layer of foam lasting underneath. The textile used on the insole has a soft hand-feel with a nappy texture.
With its robust build quality, the Brooks Ravenna 8 should have a median lifespan of 350 miles. Brooks has always used quality materials no matter what the price, so their shoes rarely fail prematurely.
That said, expect standard wear and tear patterns. The EVA-based midsole foam’s cushioning properties will degrade over time, and the Brooks rubber grippy rubber outsole compound tends to wear faster than the material used by other brands like adidas, Nike and Saucony.
UPPER FIT AND FEEL
Switching to a stitched toe-bumper ensures adequate toe-box height. You won’t experience the toe rub of the Ravenna 6, and there’s slightly more room than the R7 too.
The midfoot fit is standard Ravenna. The dual straps used in conjunction with the lacing provide localized cinch, and the soft tongue has enough padding to filter the top-down lacing pressure. Expect a small amount of tongue slide. As mentioned in our upper breakout, the tongue isn’t sleeved and omits the ‘tongue-tied’ loop.
The heel lining is very comfortable, the result of a soft lining and generous foam fill. However, the redesigned Achilles area reduces the angle of the inwards curve. So the heel doesn’t feel as secure as the Ravenna 7 did.
Not only does the stitched toe-bumper increase vertical room, but its shorter height (compared to the 7) opens up room on the sides too.
The same applies to the forefoot as well. The R8’s upper barely has any layering, so the interior fit feels smooth and consistent. Though the Ravenna 8 has a snug forefoot, the fit quality is comfortable. The shoe fits true to size.
RIDE QUALITY AND BEHAVIOR
The Ravenna ride falls in the medium range of softness. Just above the foot, the molded insole and foam lasting provide the first layer of cushioning. The rearfoot midsole has a separate crash pad, so that adds to the cushioning level.
Do keep in mind that the Ravenna 8’s crash pad does not have the deep groove running down its sides like on the R6 and 7. This makes the outer midsole a bit firmer than the previous Ravenna editions.
The outsole helps with soft landings, thanks to the separate crash pad and the area of exposed foam below the heel. There’s plenty of blown rubber in the front, so the landings aren’t jarring for forefoot strikers. All in all, the softness is well distributed throughout the midsole.
As such, the Ravenna 8 makes a good case for itself as a daily trainer, no matter what the mileage. There’s enough foam between your foam and the ground to make long-distance runs comfortable.
Like most Brooks shoes, the Ravenna 8’s midsole lacks a spring-back sensation.
The DNA material feels close to ordinary EVA foam, so you’ll miss the bouncy feel produced by competing midsole tech like the adidas Boost and Everun.
One of the effects of the toned-down grooving on the heel crash pad is better rearfoot stability.
While there is a bit of outwards (and acceptable) bias due to a harder inner midsole, the crash pad doesn’t compress as much as it did on the R6 and R7. So you get a balanced ride experience with the R8, and the firmer medial post is barely noticeable; think of the Ravenna 8 as a near-neutral shoe with a wee bit of medial support.
The midsole softness is quite consistent along the length of the shoe minus any ‘sink spots,’ so the transitions are smooth and efficient in nature. The updated forefoot with increased rubber delivers a planted ride.
PROS AND CONS
With a $10 reduction off its retail price, the Ravenna 8 is excellent value for money, especially when you compare it to similarly priced shoes in the market. No signs of cost-cutting are visible on the shoe.
The upper materials look and feel premium, the midsole packs in multiple densities and a plastic shank, and the outsole could very well be from a higher price segment. You even have additional widths.
It’s not just in the area of cosmetic detail where the Ravenna proves its mettle. The premium material package translates into a smooth interior fit, and the optimal blend of different foam densities produces a cushioned and efficient ride quality. The R8 might be a ‘stability’ shoe, but the firmer medial post has a non-invasive character.
There are a few areas where the Ravenna could be better at. Of late, the midsole foam tech has evolved by leaps and bounds; any runner who has run in shoes featuring adidas Boost or Saucony Everun know how superior those materials are. Brooks’s DNA foam material feels like regular EVA foam. The Ravenna suffers from the lack of engaging ride experience, as do other Brooks shoes.
A couple of minor gripes would be the less-than-perfect heel grip and the mild tongue slide.
SUMMARY
The Ravenna 7 and 8 are matched on weight, but the $10 price drop is worth calling out. The new Ravenna moves down in price band (from $120 to $110) without any material or feature trade-off (which is great).
As pointed out at the start of this review, the Ravenna moves closer to the Launch 4 in design language and category. This translates into a much sleeker upper design which uses far less layering over its upper compared to the Ravenna 7. This external update also impacts the fit quality, opening up more forefoot and toe-box room than the past two Ravenna versions.
Among other news, the heel grip feels slightly less secure due to the redesigned Achilles area. The tongue leaves the secondary loop behind, so the tongue lockdown isn’t as foolproof as before.
Ride quality is similar to the earlier Ravennas except for a few updates. The rearfoot is marginally firmer due to the reworked crash pad, and the forefoot gets a better spread of cushioning thanks to the better blown-rubber coverage.
Till last year, the Brooks Ravenna and Adrenaline were priced the same. In 2017, there’s a $10 price difference. But that pricing gap shouldn’t be your guide when deciding to choose between the two.
Rather, buy the Adrenaline if you require more support and firmness in the midsole. It has a larger medial post and a firmer ride quality. On the other hand, the Ravenna is softer with a mild-support character. The Adrenaline also comes in more widths than the Ravenna 8 (which only offers a 2E-Wide), so if you’re a 4E (extra wide) or B (narrow), then the Adrenaline GTS 17 it is.
The Brooks Beast 16 makes sense when you need tons of support. The Beast works well for heavier runners, and it has a lot more cushioning than either the GTS 17 or the Ravenna. The upper fits narrow and small so that’s something you should be mindful of.
RECOMMENDED ROTATION
If you love Brooks and want to say within the brand, then the Transcend 4 and Asteria pair well with the Ravenna. The Transcend 4 is a support shoe without a medial post; its exceptionally wide footprint delivers a supportive ride. There’s plenty of padding from the SuperDNA foam midsole, and the upper materials produce a plush fit.
For 5k and 10k races, the Asteria is a sensible pick. It features a mild-support wedge within a lightweight package and is good for shorter races. You can run up to a half-marathon but most will find the cushioning lacking for longer distances. You’re better off running longer distances in either the Transcend or the Ravenna.
The Saucony Hurricane ISO 3 offers more cushioning than the Ravenna, and is a good choice for longer runs/races of an easier nature. The Everun foam insert and topsole provide a certain degree of springback feel, and there’s a generous amount of midsole padding.
The New Balance 1500v3 competes with the Brooks Asteria, so in case you want brand variety, the 1500 performs the role of a fast racer well. It is more versatile than the Asteria because of its higher cushioning level. Most runners should have no problems up to half-marathon distances.
SIMILAR CUSHIONED SUPPORT SHOES
If this was last year, the Ravenna 7’s $120 price made it comparable to models like the Asics GT-2000, Nike Structure 20, or the Saucony Guide 10. But the new (and cheaper) $110 forces us to have a relook at the comparison chart.
And this category revision makes better sense too. After all, the barely noticeable medial post on the Ravenna behaves differently than the larger wedges found in the GT-2000, the Guide 10, and their kind.
With that said, the Ravenna 8 is a closer match with models which are a rung lower, both in price and function. At an MSRP of $100 is the well known Asics GT-1000 5. It is the less expensive version of the GT-2000, and features a basic material spec and a firm ride. The Gel Exalt 3 at $10 lower is nearly the same shoe as the GT, except that the midsole does not have a visible Gel unit.
Only a price difference of $10-20 separates the GT-1000 and Exalt from the Ravenna, but the Brooks shoe uses materials far superior to Asics. The Ravenna 8 also has a more sophisticated ride quality than both the Asics models.
The adidas Vengeful is modeled on the excellent Supernova Sequence, but somehow adidas managed to ruin the Vengeful. So while we mentioned the Vengeful for the sake of comparison, the shoe is better avoided. Read our review to know why.
Nike has a shoe called the Zoom Span which has an extremely mild support wedge. It is much lighter than all the shoes mentioned above, and runs softer too. Worth a try if a lightweight support shoe is what you’re after. The downside is that it feels a bit flimsy when compared to the Ravenna.
Skechers has only recently introduced support shoes in its performance assortment. It started with the Strada which was then followed by the Forza.
The Forza V2 is a Skechers outlier in the sense that it has a 8mm heel drop (most Skechers shoes have a 4 mm drop) and a dual-density midsole. The Forza has a firmer ride than one would expect of a Skechers shoe, and the outsole has plenty of rubber. Not surprisingly, the shoe weighs nearly as much as the Ravenna.
There are a couple of other support shoes in this price range. The New Balance Vazee Prism V2 is a firm, medially posted shoe with a sleek upper profile, and is almost an exact weight match (10.4 oz) with the Ravenna 8.
At a MSRP of $100, the UnderArmour Charged Bandit 2 packs plenty of value. The upper with seamless heel cup draws design inspiration from the 2014 Speedform Apollo, and the dual-density midsole produces a supportive ride without resorting to the use of a medial wedge.

RAID stands for Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks
It is a technology to combine several inexpensive drives to equal or exceed the performance of a larger and more expensive disk drive. There are many different types of RAID, but VGN-AR Series adopts RAID0 as the default and it is changeable to RAID1.
RAID 0 is called “Striping.” It speeds up the disk access by dividing the data and delivering them in a parallel form into two different hard disks.
RAID 1 is called “Mirroring.” The same data is written on two different hard disks, which prevents data loss even if one hard disk fails.
RAID accelerates speed of data reading and writing. (eg: HDV editing becomes easier and PC boot up becomes faster.)

Leading technical event production company Haycom has expanded its Adelaide based operations with the acquisition of the well-respected South Australian supplier Multivision, in this latest move to increase its national footprint and forge ahead with its business growth strategy.
Effective 1 September 2014, the acquisition sees Haycom take over all of Multivision’s equipment, clients and permanent team members who will be moving to Haycom’s existing Adelaide warehouse in Maple Avenue, Forestville.
Haycom Directors Alan Hay, Mario Valenti and Stuart Gregg have led the acquisition negotiations and all agree it was a long-standing relationship of more than 30 years with Multivision that helped secure the merger, along with a shared passion for producing high quality events.
“We’ve already delivered some great shows in Adelaide and have won lots of new local clients in our first year, however, this acquisition will accelerate our growth and help establish us further in the Adelaide market, providing some very valuable local work,” Mr Valenti added.
The exciting new partnership comes just 12 months after Haycom entered the South Australian market, and just 16 months after merging with t7 event solutions. Haycom’s growth strategy suggests further acquisitions may be imminent

Townsville North Queensland could soon play host to more business and major events, potentially attracting millions of dollars in economic activity for the city through a collaborative project.
Townsville Enterprise General Manager Tourism and Events, Patricia O’Callaghan and Cr Jenny Hill today announced the establishment of a cooperative bid fund which is a pool of funding used to entice eligible events to the region.
Townsville Enterprise Convention Bureau will manage the funding pool which has had contributions from Townsville City Council and equally matched funding by a State Government Grant through the Tourism and Events Queensland Contestable Grant Scheme for the Townsville North Queensland Events Marketing and Acquisition Project. The fund also includes contributions from industry partners including Jupiter’s Townsville Hotel & Casino, Rydges Southbank Townsville, Mercure Townsville, Holiday Inn Townsville, and the Grand Hotel Townsville.
Townville Enterprise General Manager Tourism and Events, Patricia O’Callaghan, said the bid fund will raise the region’s competitiveness in bidding and acquiring new events and conferences to the region.
“This innovative initiative is designed to drive an increase in visitation and expenditure into the region and improve the awareness of Townsville North Queensland as a hub for events, conferences and meetings.”
“Events are at the forefront of the State Government’s 2020 Strategy as a key principle to create a reason for visitation and will provide a contribution to the economy, attract visitors, enhance the profile of the destination and foster community pride.”
Cr Hill said the campaign was an opportunity to build on the city’s reputation as an events capital.
“Townsville has built up a great track record as an events city,” Cr Hill said.
“Establishing a bid fund provides the means for the city through Townsville Enterprise to actively throw our hat in the ring for big events that will bring visitors here and deliver significant economic benefits for the city.”
“In the past we have missed out on opportunities to attract events that build economic and community capacity. This fund sets up a dedicated fund with tangible support from the business community to proactively pitch for events.”

Mer. Driving the sister car with starting number 90, Nico Bastian (GER) and Jack Manchester (GBR) secure the Silver Cup class win. Nicolas Jamin (FRA) and Denis Bulatov (RUS), also AKKA ASP, finish fifth in the race on Sunday and thus secure another Silver Cup win for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport.
- Race 1: Second place for the AKKA ASP Team #88
- Race 1: Victory in the Silver Cup for the Mercedes-AMG GT3 #90
- Race 2: Victory in the Silver Cup for the Mercedes-AMG GT3 #87
AKKA ASP claimed second place in the first race of the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cups at Misano World Circuit. After third place at Zolder and second place at Brands Hatch, Raffaele Marciello (ITA) and Michael Meadows (GBR) thus also finished on the podium in the third Sprint Cup event of the season. Meadows started from fourth place on the grid for the 60 minutes’ race that got underway at 19.40 hrs on Saturday. The low-standing sun on the Adriatic coast left the Brit unfazed, stayed close to the front runners with his #88 Mercedes-AMG GT3 and came in early to hand the car to his team-mate Marciello. With fresh tyres and in perfect race conditions, the Mercedes-AMG driver posted fast lap times. Thus, Marciello was able to make up decisive time on two opponents who came in later for their pit stops and gained two places. The Italian also closed up on the leader, but didn’t find an opportunity to start an overtaking move. After 37 laps, Marciello crossed the finish line only 0.6 seconds down on the race winner.
Nico Bastian (GER) and Jack Manchester (GBR) secured the second top ten result of the day with the #90 Mercedes-AMG GT3. Bastian defended his third place on the grid and took the lead after around ten minutes. Once racing resumed after a full-course yellow, the German showed the quickest response, overtook the remaining opponent in front of him and moved up into the lead. Bastian posted fast race laps and initially pulled clear at the front before the opposition was able to make up time with fresh tyres. After the driver change, Manchester rejoined the field in third place, but fought hard to secure the Silver Cup victory. In sixth place overall, he defended the class win. Thus, the duo further extended its points’ lead in the Silver Cup standings.
A Silver Cup class victory for the #87 Mercedes-AMG GT3
On Sunday, the field of 22 cars started into the second sprint race. The third Mercedes-AMG GT3 run by AKKA ASP with starting number #87 and drivers Denis Bulatov (RUS) and Nicolas Jamin (FRA) secured the best result of the day by finishing fifth. Having started from twelfth place on the grid, Bulatov made up three places before the driver change. Jamin built on the good performance by his team-mate. The pole-sitter from the previous day finished the race in fifth place overall after 38 laps, slightly over 15 seconds down on the winner. Thus, the two secured a Silver Cup class win and thus got some consolation for having retired from the first race while in the lead. That the Mercedes-AMG GT3 has chances to win again became clear on the Sunday. In the second race, the car with number 88 also started the race from pole position. Raffaele Marciello defended his leading position, but had bad luck in the race as he damaged his car while driving hard over the kerbstones. As a result, he and his team-mate Meadows lost positions and eventually finished tenth.
Raffaele Marciello, AKKA ASP #88:“Although Christopher Mies was very fast while in the lead, I was able to close up. I tried to apply pressure, but overtaking is incredibly difficult here. Second place is great for the championship. It is a long season and these points are important. In the second race, we were in a promising situation with pole position. Unfortunately, I hit the kerbs and damaged the car. Therefore, that was all we could do.”
Nico Bastian, AKKA ASP #90:“We had a good start and were able to defend third place. After Nicolas Jamin retired, I had a quick restart and was able to take the lead. In the second stint, Jack Manchester defended the lead in the Silver Cup, even though the Jaguar applied considerable pressure. We are happy with the class win. That was a great race.”
Nicolas Jamin, AKKA ASP #87:“When you start the race from pole position, you defend the lead at the start, then extend it and retire shortly after that, it is very disappointing, of course. On Saturday, we had good chances of winning the race. Therefore, it makes us even happier that we were able to move up from twelfth on the grid to fifth on Sunday and scored the win in the Silver Cup.

News Roundup: Kanye, Winehouse, SXSW, Timbaland
Kanye and Winehouse to perform during Grammys, complete SXSW bill unveiled, and Timbaland joins Verizon for first mobile album.! Bolstering its supremacy, the complete lineup for Austin’s extravaganza has now been unveiled, which, among the previously announced and speculated bands, now names acts like Yo La Tengo, Thurston Moore, Diplo, Be Your Own Pet, and Los Campesinos!, among about a zillion others, all of which you can see here. Prepare to squint. [Via Pitchfork]
News of the continuous music industry fragmentation has been spinning like — pun intended — a broken record. But while many acts, say Radiohead, hit the web, or sign unconventional, all encompassing deals, there’s no doubt the executives and artists alike are scrambling for a new format — and Timbaland may have found one: the rapper and production mastermind has teamed with Verizon Wireless for the first ever “mobile album,” which will be exclusively available to subscribers of Verizon’s mobile entertainment service. For the album, Timbaland, who hasn’t split with longtime conventional label Interscope, will team with 12 different artists to produce one song per month throughout 2008 while touring the country on the Verizon Mobile Recording Studio Bus. Timbaland’s surprisingly simplistic yet intelligent justification: “every place don’t get a CD [but] everybody has a mobile phone.” [Via Billboard.com]

5 players that Arsenal nearly signed
Arsenal has had tough times over the past few seasons. This is partly down to the fact that Arsene Wenger would never spend. They have always had to rely on youth, with the likes of Alex Iwobi and Chuba Akpom coming through the ranks. However, this has not always been enough to secure good finishes.
The last 2 seasons Arsenal have failed to qualify for the Champions League and this has impacted their transfer budget even more. The future, however, does look promising with the arrival of Unai Emery and some big summer signings including Stephan Lichtsteiner and Lucas Torreira.
There is a huge list of Arsenal players that Arsene Wenger has claimed that he nearly signed. Some of these players could have changed the history of Arsenal football club. However, they did not arrive at the club for some reason. These 5 players have had such a huge impact that Arsenal right now could be the best team in the World.
#5 Yaya Toure (Free agent)
Arsenal very nearly signed Yaya Toure in 2003. The player was happy to sign for the club, but it was sadly not that simple. As it happens Yaya Toure was refused a work permit which meant that he could not join the Gunners. He did, however, play in a pre-season friendly against Barnet, but that was his only contribution for Arsenal.
He ended up becoming a club legend for Man City scoring 59 goals in 230 appearances. He left the club this summer and is now a free agent. It looks like Arsenal could sign Toure 15 years late.

Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington says the nation must remain positive if they are to get into the Euro 2012 play-offs.
His side currently sit fifth in Group C after their defeat to Serbia on Friday, but although they are 10 points behind leaders Italy, they sit only two behind second-placed Slovenia.
"It is difficult now but we have to stay positive," he said. "There's no point carrying on otherwise.
"We have three games to go and we've got to believe we can do it. I am gutted for everybody about what happened against Serbia but we have to get the players back up and get them going again. Estonia will be a very tough game but there is still a lot to play for."
Worthington has had to draft in Andrew Little and Josh Carson for Tuesday's game in Tallinn after brothers Corry and Jonny Evans both picked up suspensions for the match.

December 2002
31 December 2002 The American company which claims to have cloned a human being who was born last week now says that identification tests have been carried out on the child and the results are due next week. Clonaid, which is associated with the Raelian cult, asserts that DNA tests, which could prove that baby Eve is genetically the same as her 31-year-old American mother, were performed yesterday by a independent body. The company also claims that mother and baby were now at home following the birth, though it is not clear if this means that they are in the United States. Mr Claude Vorilhon, the Raelians' founder, has said that 2,000 people have each offered to pay Clonaid $200,000 to clone themselves or a loved one. Dr Leon Kass, the chairman of President Bush's bioethics council, has described human cloning as crossing the boundary between procreation and manufacture, and has called for it to be made illegal. The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to do this and it is claimed that Congress will move quickly to ban cloning when it reconvenes next month. Representative Dave Weldon has said that Mr Bill Frist, the new leader of the incoming Republican Senate majority, shares the president's support for a ban. Mr Douglas Johnson of the National Right to Life Committee said: "The reason [researchers] want to mass clone embryos is to kill them and do research." The Church of Scotland has said that cloned children would lack individuality and could have physical and psychological problems. Dr Donald Bruce, a church spokesman, warned of the "serious risks" of cloning as suggested by health problems in cloned animals. [Scotsman, 31 December , Reuters on Yahoo!, 30 December , and BBC and Gannett on The Olympian , 28 December] Umbilical stem cells which are frozen for as long as 15 years can be used therapeutically, according to researchers at Indiana university. Dr Hal Broxmeyer's team found that such cells could be successfully thawed and would produce tissue for transplants. More than 100,000 umbilical samples are stored around the world, though it had been thought that they might only be of use for five years. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in Daily Telegraph, 31 December ] Umbilical tissue provides an ethical alternative to taking stem cells from aborted children or those produced by IVF or cloning. Danish scientists are lobbying for permission to use surplus embryos from fertility treatment to build a stem cell bank. Speaking prior to the imminent launch of an international stem cell research college, Professor Zimmer Rasmussen expressed concern that his country could fall behind Britain and Sweden in embryo research. Professor Ian Wilmut, who created the first cloned mammal, is on the advisory panel of the college in Odense. [Copenhagen Post, 30 December ] A seriously ill 74-year-old British man has said he will apply for assisted suicide at the Dignitas clinic in Zurich, Switzerland. Mr Reginald Crew of Liverpool has motor neurone disease and his wife, who fears he will choke to death because of his illness, could be prosecuted under UK law if she accompanies him. [Liverpool Daily Post, 31 December ] If well cared for, sufferers from motor neurone disease do not die from choking. An opponent of abortion who questions the safety of the RU-486 abortion pill has joined the committee on reproductive health drugs of the US Food and Drug Administration. Dr W David Hager, who teaches obstetrics and gynaecology at Kentucky university, is one of 11 physicians appointed to the committee which has not met for two years. Planned Parenthood called the appointment an assault on reproductive rights and a danger to women's health. [Washington Post, 31 December ] It is reported that British television will show a man eating a stillborn baby. Beijing Swings on Channel Four on Thursday will feature photographs of Mr Zhu Yu, a Chinese artist, eating the child. Miss Ann Widdecombe, the pro-life MP, has described the idea of the programme as hideous and the Chinese embassy in London has condemned it. [Guardian, 30 December ]

Just two days after Jon Stewart
reported ranted about Twitter on The Daily Show, Good Morning America jumped on the Twitter wagon this morning, and the only way it could have been lamer is if they called it “The Twitter.” “Tweeting is big on Twitter.” Yes, indeed, tweeting is big on Twitter. It’s, in fact, the only thing you can do on Twitter. Big news media Twitter stories are all terrible, but this one is particularly bad:
Ashton Kutcher wants “creps”? Not “crapes”? I’m no French speaker, but everyone I know pronounces it “crapes.” This story would have been great if they had only featured Diddy’s tantric sex tweets instead.

Discover the RIGHT TREATMENT to STOP YOUR ADDICTION
We're all unique. We'll help you pick the best addiction treatment program for you.
A lifestyle of drugs and drug addiction will eventually lead the addict to a point where they no longer value themselves or anyone else unless they get help from a drug addictions program. The most important thing in the world will be their drugs. Money soon becomes a problem because they need more and more of the drugs, but can’t afford them. This can lead to a life of crime when the addict resorts to stealing or turns to prostitution to obtain their drug.
Do You Need Help From a Drug Addictions Program?
Don’t let yourself or a loved one go down this road. If you, or a friend or family member, is heading towards the life of drugs and drug addiction, you need to take action quickly. The best option is an inpatient drug addictions program. These programs are designed to help any and all addicts get over drugs and the lifestyle that comes with the drugs.
Inpatient drug addiction programs offer a facility that is comfortable, secure and far away from the daily problems that might have played a part in the addict’s need to consume drugs. Once the addict begins treatment in one of our facilities, they will undergo detox to cleanse their body and mind of the drugs and prepare them for the rehabilitation process. Rehabilitation involves counseling, education and activities all geared toward teaching the addict a whole new way of coping with upsetting situations without drugs as an escape tool.
Speak With a Counselor Today About Drug Addictions Programs

It cannot be stressed enough that the importance of internal linking structure is a key component to success. With one-way links we can use a variety of methods to improve our rankings but when it comes to internal linking we often fall short of the mark with creative ways to improve our architecture. Far too many webmasters do not think about the importance of strong internal linking as much as they think about grabbing as many external links as possible. There simply are not enough good, solid resources online that teach us how to improve the quality and quantity of internal links we have.
We have gathered together some excellent tips regarding how to improve on your internal links. Normally, websites will start out with internal links in the form of a navigation bar – this is a familiar site for most. You can take that effect of the navigation bar on internal linking up a notch or two by using keywords as the linking text in the navigation bar instead of some random text that has little real value or impact. The navigation bar should always be plain HTML, and there should not be any image links to the inner pages. That is little more than wasted space.
One of the best things you can get in the habit of is having the navigation bar on the left hand side, so that the search bot will crawl the navigation bar as first. It cannot be stressed how much of a difference this alone makes. When they visit your website, if that is the first thing they see it is a great win for you. Do NOT stuff the navigation bar with the keywords. That is among the biggest sins you can commit – you will be penalized for this over the long haul. The navigation text link should reflect closely the content of the page it is linking to, for continuity of keyword optimization.
Next you should consider concentrated effort for getting internal links in the footer of your website. It may not sound like a big deal, but to the spiders crawling your site it is. The function of the footer navigation link is a lot like the regular navigation bar in almost all respects. For the purposes of SEO, they can be used as another way of gaining more internal links. For footer links to be highly effective, you cannot have too many footer links as this will dilute the effectiveness of individual links. A little bit is good enough – don’t get a reputation as a spammer You should make sure that your footer always has a link to your sitemap. The sitemap will of course have links to all the pages of your website arranged in logical order.
Finally, textual content in the web page will let you create strong contextual internal text links. If you have a well thought plan regarding content, you can have a number of in-line links, utilizing anchor text for greater visibility and keyword optimization. Making sure your internal linking makes your site user friendly helps just as much as making it SEO

A rare vinyl recording originally being sold for £1.99 by an Oxfam shop is now being offered online by the charity for £2,000.
And while you may not have an album by cellist Jacqueline Du Pre in your loft, rare vinyl is turning up in the most unlikely places. It’s certainly worth a look. Do you have any of these in your collection?

Dangerous online trend leads to boy’s death
A BOY has died over the weekend after he and his friends were playing the "fainting game," which led to significant oxygen being cut off to his brain, his mother said.
Tua Muai, from Utah in the US, and his friends had been playing the game on Friday afternoon in the hopes of cutting off oxygen to the brain to obtain a high or rush. According to Fox News, his mother Celestia Muai found the 12-year-old unconscious shortly after and called 911.
"He was just playing a game and he didn't think things through," Mrs Muai told FOX13 Salt Lake City.
Tua died at the hospital. Mrs Muai said it was a sombre Mother's Day.
"I spent Mother's Day planning my son's funeral, writing his obituary, instead of having breakfast or flowers or 'I love you, Mom,'" Mrs" among other more innocuous names such as "space monkey", "cloud nine" and "five minutes in heaven", the dangerous stunt was generally spread through word of mouth and involved groups of two or three people participating. There are different methods used, but they all result in blood flow to the brain being disrupted and the participant losing consciousness.
In the last few years, videos have been posted on the internet to show how children can choke themselves enough to get the "rush of euphoria" as they regain consciousness.
A 2015 study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin found that the internet had "normalised" the dangerous practice.
Mrs Muai said she wants to warn other parents about the dangers of the "fainting game".
"There's nothing that can take the pain away, but if it can save one child, one parent, one family … then it will make more sense," Mrs Muai said.
This story first appeared on Fox News.

Worthing WOW (World of Words) Festival announces Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing as part of BFI Presents: Shakespeare on Film.
The season is a UK-wide series of screenings and events celebrating the impact the playwright’s life, work and legacy has had on cinema.
Worthing WOW’s special screening takes place on Thursday, September 15 at the Dome Cinema in Worthing and forms part of national celebrations marking the bard’s 400th anniversary.
Melody Bridges, artistic director of WOW, said: “Kenneth Branagh’s exuberant 1993 adaptation of this classic feel-good comedy stars Mr Branagh himself alongside Emma Thompson, Kate Beckinsale and Hollywood hunks Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves. WOW have received funding from BFI Film/London to host the event and include Worthing as part of this countrywide celebration. They chose Much Ado for its summery romantic feel – a perfect frolic to end your summer.
“Much Ado is being shown in screen two at the historic Dome Cinema, Worthing for one night only, and is being introduced by Miles Leeson, senior lecturer from the University of Chichester who will be giving a brief pre-screening talk about the potent mix of farce and politics in this, one of the Bards most important comedies.”
Presented by the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) and led by Film Hub London, BFI Presents: Shakespeare on Film will see more than 300 screenings and events taking place across the UK with multiplexes, independent cinemas, film clubs, pop-ups and community venues the length and breadth of the UK.
Melody added: “I'm thrilled to share this uplifting film with Worthing audiences. Worthing WOW has been looking for a really special way to tie in with the celebrations of Shakespeare this year – and this evening is our way of Worthing being a part of these national events. I'm excited to learn beforehand from Dr Miles a bit more about the story and then enjoy a glass of Italian white wine whilst watching one of Shakespeare's finest plays on film. ".”
Much Ado About Nothing is screening for one night only on September 15, 7.30pm at the Dome Cinema; tickets are £5 adult, £4 concs, £3 students available in advance.

, to talk to him about the making of KENK, their second release The Next Day (also released November 2011 in the U.S.), and the trouble with hypertext fiction.
Alex, tell us about Pop Sandbox. What do you do, exactly?
“Probably 70 percent of what I do is production and 30 percent is the publishing. My background is largely in film. I studied business and then I studied film years ago, all with the idea with getting into producing. I guess when I started I felt film was the most important medium of our time for reaching a large audience. I felt really passionate about all forms of visual storytelling – so as a kid, you know, comics, film, and video games – and I decided to really focus in on film.”
So why did you move from film to books? How did it happen?
“I got a chance to do this small feature film [about sexual abuse] back in 2001. The film played at the Toronto Film Festival… and it sold and we thought ‘this is fantastic’ and then it disappeared. Here, Canadian broadcasters require a certain amount of Canadian content in order to keep their licenses. And so the way it works, not understanding distribution at that time, it falsely inflates things. So for the distributor, they saw this film where we already had a broadcaster attached. They never really got behind it in a big way. In the end… it got marketed as a sexy thriller, it was a very small push and it disappeared. So it was such a disheartening experience it made me want to understand how that piece worked.”
And how did you get that experience, learning distribution and being in control?
“There was a distributor that always stood out to me… a company called Mongrel Media. I joined them at a great time. There were six people in the company and I was the first one purely in home entertainment. It really gave me a chance to learn the distribution piece, but it was very much with the conscious idea… to go back to production but now to be able to retain the rights to take my own projects to market. And I think that’s where the whole industry’s been going anyways. There’s such a higher level of control for the creative side. The only problem is I’ve found… if you don’t understand how to get it out you lose all control.”
How did Pop Sandbox begin with KENK: A Graphic Portrait?
“I met with this absolutely compelling character [and] at that point I was still working with Mongrel… there was no way I would have been able to raise money to shoot it in HD. I had to root it even more into journalism and documentary filmmaking. We actually took as many still photos and written notes as we did filmed footage over the next year and a half. But, yeah, all with the idea of doing it as a graphic novel.”
Why did you make KENK a graphic novel? The story seems suited for an expose or full-blown documentary.
“One of my biggest frustrations is when people say the comic book could be the storyboard for the film cause I think it really demeans the whole graphic novel language and the things you can only do in that language. When you see Kenk as a film, it will be entirely different than the graphic novel [because] the graphic novel very much is a piece of journalism… and we’re doing things on the film side that cannot possibly be done as a graphic novel. I get approached by several people… what they want to do is they want to make a film but they can’t so they make a comic. And you can tell.”
Did anything surprise you about publishing KENK in dual formats – as a print comic book and as an animated film?
“I find home entertainment and publishing, it’s virtually identical. There’s different names for things but it’s not all that different at all, like how we’d be acquiring the rights or there would be some original productions we’d be involved in and then we’d be packaging it into DVD and taking it out to our wholesalers and then wrap it out to video stores – is virtually identical to how the publishing side works. So I found that there wasn’t as big of a learning curve on that end. In the production side, it was liberating in a lot of ways. I felt like here’s a medium where I could tell it as pure a vision as possible. It’s taking the same underlying material and it’s like two branches of the same tree.”
The publishing world is just exploding with the app phenomenon right now, with the iPad and Kindle Fire, because of their interactive possibilities. Did you plan an app or e-book for KENK?
“I think the idea of being to expand that deep into the story, as much as it would be fantastic for KENK, I don’t know that it would necessarily be the best suited project for it. I think that same technology could be applied more broadly so we tried to develop it as a repeatable technology with the plan of using it for our next project, The Next Day. Unfortunately, as we were developing, we just hit walls – so we did do a scaled version, more like a multimedia marketing tool, for KENK online. At the end of the day it’s just looking at the company and what our focus is. I think our focus is more so on the storytelling side and I think that would dwarf everything else cause we are quite small and pretty realistic about how many projects we are able to undertake.”
Let’s talk about The Next Day, a graphic novel and animated online documentary about survivors of near-fatal suicide attempts. How did this project start?
“It’s very similar to how KENK was conceived, across platform. We developed The Next Day simultaneously as both a print graphic novel and then an interactive animated documentary, both of them rooting from the same source material. In the case of the interactive we developed that as a co-production with the National Film Board. They had this call to be moving into the interactive world and so we put forward a proposal to develop the story. [Paul Peterson, a friend and former social worker] was interested as doing it as a documentary… but I wasn’t as excited about doing it as a straight up doc and I wanted to make sure we veered away from any ‘after-school special’ type territory. I approached him with the idea of doing it as a graphic novel, which he was very interested in.”
Did you have any trouble finding subjects to interview and participate?
“We partnered with… a mental health professional and so she worked with us in the whole process of finding participants and she was involved in the screening and making sure we were responsible in whom we ended up deciding to include. So we did a large call for applicants… we went through about 150 different outlets. Based on the response, we started to go through a screening process and figure out who in the end the stories would be telling.”
The online interactive for The Next Day reminds me of hypertext fiction – a genre of electronic literature that is interactive, immersive, and categorized by its non-linearity. Do you feel connected to this tradition or genre at all?
“I think I might be peripherally aware of this. You know, it sounds a little bit like the old text adventure stuff – as you’re going through you get the options where to click and then its takes you to the next page.”
Sort of; the genre really started with Eastgate and hypertexts like Michael Joyce’s afternoon, a story. You have to click on a word to reveal the next sentence, paragraph, chapter. You keep clicking and eventually circle around, but then you have to look for the rest of the story. It’s never really done. But you develop apathy too, just clicking to find new material.
“You know, it’s a really pioneering time on the interactive side, where everyone is kind of figuring out how to best tell these stories. [But] I think this is the danger of a lot of tech-based stuff, sometimes it’s about pushing the envelope because you can push the envelope and I feel like it’s interactivity for interactivity’s sake but not for the narrative sake. It ends up becoming so novel that a lot of the time people have ruined the entire narrative experience just in the first 10 minutes in clicking virtually everything… you completely lost your story. It’s like your brain is trying to figure it out but you’re actually getting none of the story. Even with The Next Day, once you’ve started the experience you’re forced to figure out how the interface works by making one decision at the start… and that’s just to make sure that you’re intuitively learning how the interface works. But after you’ve made one decision if you wanted to just sit back and watch it like a movie you wouldn’t need to click on another thing. It will make the decisions for you if you don’t make decisions. It will default by the next logical path. You can steer it if you’d like to, but it’s kind of like being in a river: it’s gonna head downstream no matter what.”
Thanks, Alex! For information on their next project, a graphic memoir by filmmaker Nadia McLaren called Sparrow Song, you can click here.

PHILIPSBURG:— VROMI Minister Miklos Giterson was updated on the progress of the ongoing road paving/patching project by his Department of Infrastructure Management on Friday, September 21st.
The project, which started the first week of September, is focused on the repaving and re-patching of a number of roads in the different districts, beginning with the main roads and then moving on to the secondary roads. The Ministry has purchased 2000 metric tons of asphalt to carry out the works. Thus far the Sucker Garden and Pondfill roads have been worked on and crews are currently on the L.B. Scott Road.
Minister Giterson thanks the general public for their continued patience for any minor traffic interruptions caused during this time. The Minister also requests all drivers to exercise caution and increased vigilance for the safety of themselves and the road workers as they drive past these sites.

Employees of Dutch company Geotron carrying out geotechnical surveys at Fort Bay Harbour.
SABA–Soil investigation for the renovation of Fort Bay Harbour started recently. Dutch company Geotron, experienced in geotechnical surveys with experience in the Caribbean region, is carrying out the investigation.
Geotron is to determine the composition of soil in the harbour basin by drilling cores from designated locations in the sea bottom.
Supervising this procedure is engineering company Witteveen and Bos, which is involved with possible scenarios for the renovation of Saba’s harbour.
The drilling will take about 15 days in total, with the results of the soil investigation planned to be ready by next month. These are to determine the technical possibilities for the construction of the breakwater and thereby form an essential basis for the final scope of the project, Saba Government Information Services stated.
Depending on the results of the soil investigation the construction contract for this major project may be awarded in the first half of 2019.
Later this month project manager Ton van der Plas will be in Saba to speak with stakeholders and make preparations for parts of the project that could already start this year, such as stabilisation of the hillside adjacent to the pier and relocation of coral.
Saba Conservation Foundation is already working on a plan to relocate coral in the harbour area to the coral nursery in Ladder Bay.

And at the classroom level, that means no one ever dares to imagine.
Phrases like “what would happen if” and “why should we believe in” that play a regular role in the language of innovators and entrepreneurs are replaced with phrases like “do you know how to” and “what do you remember about” which do nothing more than emphasize the skills required to find the right answers to someone else’s questions.
The simple truth is that reform just isn’t possible in organizations who have forgotten how to ask their own questions – and sadly, that’s what education has become.

WEST BOYLSTON — A Grinch visited Christ Lutheran Church Sunday afternoon, stealing money from the church’s Christmas tree sales.
Sometime after the payment box at the tree stand was checked and emptied after church services this past Sunday, the box was pried open and whatever money and checks had been put in since then were taken, said Lisa Johnson, church treasurer.
Dick Johnson, a church member, said he went to the tree stand after the Patriots game. People were there, selecting trees. Someone went to pay for a tree and discovered the box mangled and empty.
He was able to straighten out the box and lock it again, but the damage was done.
Lisa Johnson said, “We’ve been selling trees for 15 years, never a problem.”
The trees sell for $35 each, she said, and all proceeds are donated to one of three charities.
“Some people come back year after year,” she said, “because they know their money is going to charity.”
Signs at the tree stand and tags on the trees tell patrons about the three charities the sales support: Worcester County Meals on Wheels, John Street Baptist Soup Kitchen in Worcester, and Kids Express at Concordia Lutheran in Worcester, where they feed neighborhood schoolchildren every Friday during the school year.
She said that “last year, the group gave a little over $1,000 to each of the groups.”
The tree payment box is checked and emptied daily, she said, and the director of the nursery school that runs during weekdays usually keeps an eye on it.
Unfortunately, there are no security cameras on the property.
The theft was reported to police, but they have no leads at this point.
"There's not a lot to go on," said Sgt. Tony Papandrea of the West Boylston Police. "The money goes to charities."
"We're going to try to increase visibility in the area and check on the stand as often as possible," the sergeant added.
“We won’t know how much money was taken until we do the final tally. Sometimes people leave more money than the $35, as a donation,” Lisa Johnson said. “After we pay the actual cost of the trees, everything else is donated.”
“It just makes me so sad. People are taking from a charity,” she added.
Johnson was concerned about anyone who might have paid by check.
“If you left a check in the box after noon on Sunday and before 5 p.m.,” she said, “please call the church at (508) 835-3323.”

2. The Hut Group
With a massive growth surge of 50pc, or £168m, in 2016, Hut Group, the online retailer behind sports business My Protein and music site Zavvi.com, is the second fastest growing company in the UK.
The company reported a 50pc jump in sales to £501m in the year to the end of December, while underlying earnings soared by 67pc to £50m.
The rate of expansion led The Hut Group to create 1,200 new UK jobs last year, taking its total workforce to 3,100.

Five of the world's smallest gliding possums have made a rare debut at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo.
Feathertail Gliders, which are difficult to breed, have been born at the zoo that specialises in propagating the tiny marsupials.
One of the Feathertail Glider joeys explores an employee's hand (Taronga Zoo)
Footage shows the tiny joeys, measuring approximately the size of half a grain of rice, wriggling around in their communal nest and crawling over a zoo employee's hand.
The marsupials spend about 63 days in their mother's pouch before emerging furless and blind. When fully grown, they weigh just 15g.
Two of the five newborns are 14 weeks old and are almost ready to leave the communal nest, where female gliders take turns looking after them.

This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
• It has given me an insight into what TEFL is like in terms of training requirements. I train business professionals for a living so am reasonably confident in delivery but have never been exposed to teaching languages • It has given me a great structure to developing and delivering a program. It steps out the basics to follow so I feel more confident in how I approach lessons. I love the use of lots of activities and games and will make sure that I include lots of these to keep my classes fresh and stimulating • I have had the opportunity to familiarize myself with english grammar and sentence structure (which I obviously haven’t had exposure to since primary school… a long time ago). While I believe I have reasonably good english skills, much of it is intuitive/subconscious with little thought to the rules that underpin it. I have a new appreciation for how difficult the english language is and have more confidence in identifying sentence parts and explaining this to others. • In the absence of face-to-face learning, the DVDs have been a great tool to give me an insight into EFL classroom protocol and dynamics. Additionally, being able to bounce ideas off a tutor and get feedback has helped to clarify concerns and alleviate some self-doubt • I am finishing this
course with a huge amount of motivation to get into action. So that I can gain some more exposure to class dynamics and handling real life issues within a class, I have contacted a local english school and as of Tuesday, I will be sitting in on some pre-intermediate and then intermediate classes. Once I have completed my final summative task and received my certificate, I will then co-facilitate some sessions with the trainers. • My next step is to get my hands on some course materials so I can familiarize myself to the process even further. • I think one of my key learning’s has been to ensure I am organized and create well planned lesson plans, taking into consideration any challenges and things that could go wrong throughout the.

Key Management Device (KMD)
KMD is a compact, secure cryptographic device (SCD) that enables you to securely form keys from separate components. KMD generates keys in a manner that is compliant with relevant security standards, including X9 TR-39, ANSI X9.24-1 and PCI PIN Security. Unlike traditional approaches, this critical key management task can be carried out without any physical connection to a production HSM, providing greater operational flexibility without compromising security. A single Key Management Device (KMD) can form keys for multiple payment HSMs distributed across multiple data centers.

Instead of presenting the unmistakable Brussels sprout in its whole form, shred it into an amazing Christmas side dish punctuated with crisp apples, toasted walnuts, tart pomegranate seeds, and pungent blue cheese to keep your holiday dinner guests digging in to this yummy salad recipe!
This salad recipe calls for crisp apples, and it’s worth knowing your apple varieties. You might try Honeycrisp apples, which we consider the best freshest eating apples of all times. They really do have a sweet honey flavor!
Ambrosia apples are also a good choice, especially if chilled before dicing and adding to salads. A more commonly-found apple is the Gala, which comes alive in a salad like this that features nuts, cheese, and a flavorful vinaigrette.
We also adore the homemade vinaigrette in this holiday side dish recipe. The sherry vinegar, though not the most common vinegar in home kitchens, adds a softer, more balanced flavor than white or red wine vinegars. Seek it out and keep it on hand for future salad dressing. If, however, you need a substitute, swap in rice wine vinegar or champagne vinegar.
One more quick tip: Make easy work of shredding the Brussels sprouts by employing the shredding discs of your food processor. Hand shredding these mini cabbage-like veggies will prove tedious and put your hands at risk for injury.

There's Always Death To Look Forward To
Nihilist Arby’s and the cheerful nihilism of the internet.
“Meh. There’s always Death to look forward to,” my dad would say whenever I would air my frustrations with a world that was at odds with the one I had conjured in my mind. Though I found his blatant disregard for my artful misery frustrating in my youth, I later found myself boomeranging the exact same words back at him when he would speak to me of his own problems. Those words served as a beacon for us both in an otherwise dark, cruel, and shitty world. The upshot to everything is not “happiness.” Or a career. Or a house. Or a partner. It’s the sweet encroaching hand of blackness. Nothingness. Death.
There is no better way to comment on the futility and transience of existence than through the vehicle of social media, which employs a user interface that perfectly lends itself to pith and humor, whether it be a meme, a gif, or a tweet. Take, for instance, the “lol nothing matters” gif: succinct, droll, and forever relevant. “It is literally the gif to end all gifs,” wrote Adrian Chen for Gawker. He deduced that, by the rebuttal power of this one gif, all social media accounts would be disabled and we would move to remote mountaintops. Until then, however, we resort to the power of believing in nothing and compulsively commenting on it.
When I reentered the social media world last year, after a five-year hiatus, my friend introduced me to Nihilist Arby’s. While everyone else was inhabiting the respective blue-and-red echo chambers of social media, I had found The Black Bubble. Nihilist Arby’s was my gateway drug to social media-packaged Nihilism (Cheerful Nihilism, We Believe in Nihilism, Existential Nihilist, Nihilist Memes etc.). I suppose, in a way, this social media-packaged Nihilism was helping to propagate philosophical knowledge, dredging it out of the sea of stuffy academia and plating it up for those who otherwise couldn’t be bothered. But the very act of writing about (and glamorizing) Nihilism goes against its very grain.
The best part of this new healthcare plan is that here at arbys, we were all ready to die anyway.
Eat arbys
— Nihilist Arby's (@nihilist_arbys) March 8, 2017
Though there were many Nihilist-focused Twitter and Facebook accounts from which to choose, I wanted to know what the creator of Nihilist Arby’s would say about this particular brand of Nihilism because of the uniquely dark quality of the content (“The best part of this new healthcare plan is that here at arbys, we were all ready to die anyway. Eat arbys,” and “Tonight as half the nation cries and the other half enthusiastically fucks members of their immediate family, remember: Arbys exists for now.”). What could be more nihilistic than a mountain of red meat? Nihilist Arby’s also has an outrageous engagement rate: One of its most recent tweets, which read “Life hack: die” received 23,000 likes and 12,000 retweets with only 290,000 followers, which is impressive. So I tracked down the person behind it and was afforded a glimpse into the weird and wonderful mind of Brendan Kelly.
Life hack: die
— Nihilist Arby's (@nihilist_arbys) June 27, 2017
Kelly, former corporate copywriter and current frontman to punk bands The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon, and the Wandering Birds, generated the idea for Nihilist Arby’s when working in the marketing and advertising department of a prominent ad agency. “Advertising is so removing its own ribs to suck its own dick,” he said when I asked him about his time there. Flabbergasted by the stupidity of a cereal company attempting to make cornmeal ubiquitous by way of social media, Kelly felt compelled to create a Twitter account, right then and there, of a fictitious person who worked in advertising and was so depressed by the futility of having to tweet such inane content every goddamn day that they become increasingly apathetic and unhinged. He googled Arby’s, found a photo of the luscious meat void, googled Nihilism, found the “What if there is no meaning to life?” header, and that was it. Nihilist Arby’s was live.
Nihilist Arby’s is just one of many accounts, on both Facebook and Twitter, dedicated to this trope of Nihilism and disillusion. And though it goes to dark, fucked up places — where Daddy sucks off hobos, abortions are offered as meal deals, and sandwiches are made of Kendall Jenner and Steve Bannon fucking — the malaise that induced its inception is not unique. It’s the same stuff that spread like a virus through humanity (at an especially rapid rate since the 2016 primaries) and rendered many of us totally bewildered, if not a bit demented.
“Is there a sweet escape in not giving a shit about anything?” Kelly asked me. “Of course. I mean, there is probably no more nihilistic tome in the canon of Nihilism than the second N.W.A. album. It’s all about rape and stealing money and fuck everything and all of you.” But what about Nietzsche, I asked (we wasted no time with formalities because there’s only so long and then we die).
“When people talk about Nihilism as Russian political philosophy or Nihilism as a branch of Nietzscheism, it’s like, what’s your point? Fuck you for telling me what not caring is supposed to look like!” he said, trying to suppress his maniacal laughter. “I personally don’t believe in anything. And not believing in anything could take any shape or form. If you think there is some sort of structure to not believing in anything, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
What intrigued me about Kelly was his distinct ability to care about everything: Our current state of defunct affairs, his daughter, the climate. He is thoroughly engaged with the world around him. What I realized after talking to him, and many of my more cynical friends, is that most people who claim to possess nihilistic tendencies actually care a hell of a lot. Their empathy levels are off the charts. Herein lies the paradox: What the hell is Nihilism anyway? And why are there so many social media accounts acting as its purveyors?
Take Cheerful Nihilism, for instance. Cynthia Lan Sears, Doctoral Student and Graduate Research Assistant responsible for its creation, recently posted a video explaining why she felt compelled to do so. “I started Cheerful Nihilism as a way to cope with this free-fall decline of my life,” she explained in perfectly cheerful-nihilistic fashion. “Nihilism is zeitgeist, spirit of the times right now,” she continued, “because there’s been a huge failure of all the institutions that were supposed to provide knowledge and standard of living for the citizenry.” We crave connection and authenticity and it just so happens that Nihilism, in all of its potential for black comedic brilliance, is what we’re turning to.
David Marshall, Research Professor of New Media, Communication and Cultural Studies at Deakin University, posits that “humour and comedy are always ways in which — no matter whether you’re living in a very oppressive regime or a democratic regime–people can connect without committing themselves to a full-on opinion.” It doesn’t take a wild stretch of the imagination to understand why highly empathic people find solace in such humor. Especially when it’s the kind that cuts hard and fast, getting you right in the gut in a way that some thousand-page manuscript on the futility of existence never could.
We use memes as vessels of commiseration and connection in an otherwise strange and unforgiving world. A world that starkly contrasts that of our Baby Boomer parents. As a result, there has been a staggering shift in generational expectations.
“Baby Boomers were given the world,” said Kelly. “They’re the most self-important babies making their own turds into gold of any generation that has ever existed…And Boomers said to their kids ‘Hey check out my mansion. If you go to college, you’ll get this.’ And then 2008 happened and the world collapsed and Millennials were like ‘I thought we were getting stuff.’” No wonder we’re so despairing.
This hopelessness, and preoccupation with catastrophe, has also invaded the television market. In a recent Forbes piece concerning Millennials’ obsession with the apocalypse as made evident by the clear glut of post-apocalyptic TV, contributor Zara Stone posits that Millennials “have trouble imagining a future where they’ll earn enough to buy a house, raise a family, and even travel without sanctions. Hence, programming that tells them this is the norm — by allowing them to think the lack of a future is acceptable.” And maybe it is. Maybe not giving a shit, or pretending to not give a shit, is our only chance of low-risk survival as it requires minimal amounts of emotional exertion.
This might be hard to believe from a generation that optimism, but data does not lie. I’ll start with a Netflix, a…
When I asked Eugene Thacker, author and Professor of Media Studies at The New School, about this particular brand of Nihilism that has entered social media culture, he told me what I had long suspected, but couldn’t quite articulate.
The notion of a nihilist meme only makes sense if it puts an end to memes — all memes. But this would never happen, since humanity is itself a meme, having propagated itself across the planet with all the voracious expediency of an alien pandemic — and if human beings are capable of anything, it’s in making everything a ‘thing.’
What he wrote next made me want to just light the whole lot of us on fire.
Is it any accident that at a time when we have become acutely aware of the challenges concerning global climate change, we have also created this bubble of social media? I find social media and media culture generally to be a vapid, desperate, self-aggrandizing circus of species-specific solipsism. And because of this, it is a reflection — ironically, the stupidity of our species might be its only legacy. After all, I am emailing all this to you…
But how the hell are we supposed to get up each morning and eat and piss and work and send emails and talk to humans and just generally derive pleasure (or the illusion of pleasure) from anything if we are to subscribe to this way of thinking at all times? It’s exhausting. And if we truly believed it, we’d have all offed ourselves ages ago. Or maybe we’re just too scared? I simply do not know.
What I do know is this: I scroll through my nihilistic newsfeed daily. I consume it ad nauseam. You know, the way one drinks or has sex to obliterate consciousness and momentarily say goodbye to the cruel, cruel world without ever leaving it. And maybe, just maybe, Haruki Murakami was right when he said that “Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.” Or maybe (and this is probably most likely) I’m just trying to ascribe significance to fuckall.

Prosecutor investigating police-involved fatal shooting in Millville
Authorities say a police officer shot and killed a Millville man who had called 911 and said he was armed with a gun. No firearm was found after 46-year-old Edward C. Gandy Jr. was killed.
MILLVILLE - A police officer responding to a 911 call from a man who claimed to have a loaded firearm shot and killed the man in a confrontation around 11 a.m. Monday near the intersection of North High and McNeal street, the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed.
Prosecutor Jennifer Webb-McRae, in a statement late Monday afternoon, confirmed the deceased’s identity as Edward C. Gandy Jr., 47, of Dock Street. The prosecutor said there would be no comment past what was in the statement.
Webb-McRae stated that a preliminary investigation indicates that Gandy had called 911 about 10:47 a.m. Monday to say he was armed and that he was at the intersection. No firearm was found at the scene, though.
The prosecutor said Gandy later was pronounced dead. An autopsy is pending.
Webb-McRae said the officer who shot Gandy is on administrative leave pending the investigation’s conclusion. That is normal procedure in a shooting. The officer has not been identified.

County detectives are investigating the shooting with technical assistance from the Vineland Police Department Crime Scene Unit, which sent a unit to process the scene.
Police Chief Jody Farabella was at the scene. He is not allowed to comment. All statements are coming from the Prosecutor’s Office.
Prior to the prosecutor’s statement, The Daily Journal contacted a West McNeal Street resident who identified herself as the mother of the deceased.
Catherine Gandy, who lives about a block from the shooting scene, said her son suffered from bipolar disorder and brain tumors. He had threatened to kill himself while in a local Wawa store earlier this month but was talked out of it with the intervention of a cousin, she told The Daily Journal.
Catherine Gandy said her son, one of four children she has, lived by himself just a block from her home.
She said her son recently was released from a mental health crisis center in Cumberland County. There had been a move to place him in another facility in Blackwood for more assistance but that move did not happen, she said.
Catherine Gandy said her son had been “suicidal” since a change in his prescription medication. Her son also was a collector of knives, although her nephew and her other son had taken knives from his house after the incident at the Wawa store on North 2nd Street.
Catherine Gandy said she was unaware of the shooting until her sister called her. She immediately left her house to go to the scene but her son had been removed by ambulance, she said.
“By the time I was going down that way, they were putting up the tape,” she said. “He was already at the hospital.
“I wanted to see him (at the hospital) but they wouldn’t let me see him,” she said. “The coroner lady said, ‘No. I couldn’t see him. Because they weren’t done working on him.’”
The Prosecutor’s Office asks that anyone with information contact Detective Nicholina Pennington at (856) 362-0751.
The shooting took place near a Rite Aid pharmacy on North High Street just north of McNeal Street. Some people at the pharmacy said they heard noises that they took to be shots at about 11 a.m..
A woman and her adult son, who did not wish their names to be used, said they were parked outside the pharmacy. She was sending a text when they were startled by loud noises.
The woman, who asked that her name not be used, said she thought it was a truck backfiring. Her son immediately identified the sounds as gunfire.
There was one shot followed by two rapid shots, they said.
When they got out of the car, they saw a man lying on the double yellow line in the middle of the road near McNeal Street in front of a closed US Gas service station.
They said an ambulance arrived and took the man, adding they did not see any life-saving measures taken at the scene.

Part of any mid-year wardrobe clear out should include a thorough reassessing of the day-to-day bag. We tend to fall in love with our handbags, which, unfortunately, often results in their suffering damage from excessive use. Following this line of thought, it’s only logical that investing in a quality, take-anywhere handbag is essential, and having a collection from which to choose, only means your favourite ones will last longer.
Enter Dadelszen. In the spirit of encouraging our obsession with high-end handbags, the purveyors of all things luxury and made-to-measure have created the Cassandra tote as if in answer to our vestiary prayers. Embodying Dadelszen’s overarching ethos of quality, this bag is handmade in Milan from Italian pebbled leather and can be made-to-order. Available with brass or silver-plated brass hardware and an internal pouch for makeup (very important), both the tote and its pouch can be monogrammed, making this piece the perfect personal accessory to add to any burgeoning collection.

Ten years ago, Manoj K. Chaudhury, the Dow Corning associate professor of chemical engineering at Lehigh University, discovered method to make droplets of water take a stroll up a slope.
Chaudhury said he had coaxed a microlitre of water to ‘run uphill’ on a surface of polished silicon at about 1 mm per second by varying the degree of hydrophobicity on the surface.
The change in surface properties, said Chaudhury, created an imbalance of surface tension forces, or a gradient of low to high interfacial energy, helping to propel the water upward on a tilted horizontal plane.
Today, the creeping droplets that defied gravity a millimetre at a time are said to have acquired the speed of an Olympic sprinter.
Chaudhury said that by passing saturated steam over a hydrophobic surface possessing a surface tension gradient, droplets of water can be induced to move at rates of centimetres, even a meter or more, per second.
‘This phenomenon results from the combination of the surface gradient with the fast condensation,’ said Chaudhury.
Chaudhury first presented his ideas on surface tension gradients at Lehigh at a chemical engineering department seminar in 1994.
In attendance was John C Chen, the current dean of the PC Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science.
Chen suggested that Chaudhury apply the gradient effect to heat-transfer problems.
Previously, Chaudhury could make the water drops move in only one way: from point to point. The increased energy created by the condensation is now said to make it possible to make the drops move radially, or out from the centre of a surface, as well as up and down parallel channels, or columns.
Chaudhury said the new phenomenon can be potentially applied to heat transfer problems, especially those involving systems operating in zero or micro-gravity.
In these systems, he said, a surface tension gradient, performing the function that gravity, could pump water radially from a horizontal surface, preventing liquid build-up and thus improving the efficiency of heat transfer.
Another potential application, he said, is to microfluidic devices, especially the microchips equipped with microfabricated miniature fuel cells.
‘A chemical reactor on a microchip would run on a very small amount of liquid,’ said Chaudhury. ‘That liquid would have to be pumped from one end of the reactor to another. It would be very difficult to use external sources to do this, but surface energy could act as a pump.’

It’s well known – and proven – fact that developing a presence on social media is essential if your business is to flourish. Gone are the days of a Facebook post here and a tweet there for the sake of it; rather it’s more about clever engagement and building relationships with key contacts.
Property is a sector which particularly benefits from an active social media profile – with an abundance of development updates to shout about and a large network of collaborating businesses to interact with, the opportunities are endless.
In our Ultimate Guide To Property Marketing, we’ve put together our top tips for social success in the world of property – take a look at the below and tick off what you may already be doing and, more importantly, what you need to step up.
FOR ACTIONABLE DIGITAL MARKETING TIPS THAT WILL INCREASE YOUR DEVELOPMENT’S OCCUPANCY, DOWNLOAD OUR FREE ‘GUIDE TITLE’ HERE TODAY.
Get creative
It may seem like the most obvious piece of advice, but being fun and friendly, yet informative, is a sure-fire way to attract followers and build loyalty among would-be clients. However, it’s important to understand that each platform has a different audience and, therefore, tone of voice:
Facebook – share PR news stories and images of your developments, from planning permission being granted, right through to topping out ceremonies and first residents. Encourage people to share their snaps of the site before you started work and any memories they have if it’s a particularly historic place.
Twitter – build lists of relevant journalists, across both trade and consumer media, who would be interested in news about your developments.
Pinterest – create boards that show off the real ‘wow’ factor. Think about the best categories for boards; for example, you could include time lapse videos on there, ideas for interiors and shots of the surrounding area.
Instagram – show off aspirational lifestyle shots to encourage people to imagine themselves living in one of your properties. Research popular hashtags and ensure you’re using them to the best of their ability
LinkedIn – stick to corporate updates and any CSR news that may be associated with a project.
For a more detailed guide on how to get the most from each platform, check out our article Social Media Marketing: which channel is best for your business.
Keep up with the chat
Getting involved with existing conversation is just as important as creating it, so make sure you’re monitoring what’s being talked about and that you’re reacting to relevant chat as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that you should listen for mentions of your company name, but also keep an eye out for industry-specific topics and what your competitors are saying.
Be sociable
While retweeting your competitors and engaging in conversation may not seem like a method to overtake them, it can in fact open up doors to new followers and prospects, as it helps to build trust and authenticity…not to mention the odd bit of light-hearted banter!
Court new audiences
Do some digging into businesses and individuals with large followings and start to build relationships with them. Following mainstream media outlets is a good starting point, but taking it one step further by following relevant journalists, industry experts and influencers will stand you in good stead to be part of their ‘inner circles’.
Sell smart
Ensure that you ‘sell’ via social media sparingly as over-selling will turn followers off and encourage them to stop listening. Instead, create interesting content that will grab people’s attention and requires social media to push it out there
However you choose to build your social media strategy for your property developments, spend time researching your audiences and looking at what your competitors are doing, to ensure that you pave the way for social success in the industry!
Now you’ve got your social media strategy in place, it’s time to think about using SEO and PPC to market your property, or better still, follow the link below to download our Ultimate Guide

By and student organization disciplinary proceedings at institutions under the control of the state board of higher education,” notably UND. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Identical versions were introduced by Republicans Ray Holmberg, Jim Kasper and Kelly Armstrong in the Senate, and Republicans Diane Larson and Mary Johnson and Democrat Lois Delmore in the House.
The bill provides that “any time a student is reported to a disciplinary hearing on campus, which could lead to expulsion or financial loss to that student of tuition or fees, that he has a right to bring in an attorney at his own expense, and have that attorney speak for him or her,” Holmberg said in a phone interview with The College Fix.
That also includes any campus organization, from student governments to Greek organizations, that can be disciplined, Holmberg added.
“I’ve been a criminal lawyer for the past 10 years, and I’ve actually been involved in these hearings at the university level … they encompass pretty significant crimes,” Armstrong said in a phone interview with The Fix.
“To ask a young college student to walk into these hearings without legal representation is fraught with due process issues and it’s fraught with problems that go through the criminal cases,” Armstrong added.
The legislation has the support of the Grand Forks Herald editorial board, which said that “Lady Justice’s scale has tipped too far” in favor of accusers.
Campuses, “under pressure from Washington,” have set up “kangaroo courts” that “raise the odds of innocent students being found guilty and then expelled,” the editorial said. “That’s an outcome that can ruin lives.”
‘He had to go through that whole process alone’
Holmberg said he took interest when he learned the story of Caleb Warner, a former UND student falsely accused of rape and expelled based on the result of the campus disciplinary proceeding.
Sherry Warner Seefeld, Caleb’s mother, created Families Advocating for Campus Equality as a result of the ordeal.
“When the police were done with the investigation, rather than arresting and charging my son, they actually put a warrant out for the arrest of his accuser for filing a false police report,” Seefeld told The Fix.
Despite that vindication, Caleb Warner was not allowed back at UND and had a damning academic record as a result of the disciplinary finding.
He was advised not to apply to any other universities – an issue the Warner family does not believe would exist if he were allowed representation from the beginning.
“He had to go through that whole process alone … and what you say there can be used in a court of law,” Holmberg said: “It just gives the illusion of due process, but it really is not due process.”
Condemned by a librarian
Seefeld’s organization FACE has brought attention to similar cases across the country, including that of Joshua Strange at Auburn University in 2011, whose ex-girlfriend falsely accused him of rape and assault.
“The university sought to expel me for something I very obviously did not do. It was one of the worst experiences of my life,” Strange told The Fix in a phone interview.
“Having the lawyers there to actually understand the legal principles would make the world of difference,” Strange said. His case was reviewed by a panel “chaired by a librarian” and composed of two humanities professors and a male and female student.
“They basically decided my collegiate future and my future going forward, even though they have no background whatsoever in legal practices or legal doctrine,” Strange said. “When I saw that bill come across in North Dakota, I thought it was fantastic.”
Armstrong serves on the Judiciary Committee and expects the bill to be put on its schedule within the next few weeks.
“Any mark on your academic record stays with you for the rest of your life and I think it is the right thing to have proper representation at these proceedings,” Armstrong said.
The North Dakota legislation is modeled after a North Carolina law approved in 2013, the first of its kind in the nation.
“Legislators from across the political spectrum understood that the stakes in these hearings are too high to allow students to face suspensions or expulsions for non-academic disciplinary charges without legal representation,” Joe Cohn, legislative and policy director for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, said when the North Carolina law took effect.

Rose Elinor Dougall makes pop music, but not as we know it in 2017. Her full-band aesthetic and commitment to sophisticated songwriting might unfortunately keep her out of the chart chase, but it’s their loss. Her first album in seven years is a timely reminder that you can make broad, accessible songs without sacrificing or disguising your intelligence.
Dougall took a strange, winding path to arrive here. After experimenting with commercial glam-pop in her teens with the brilliant KLF-inspired group The Pipettes, she left to pursue an individual career. 2010’s debut Without Why was a deliberately introverted reaction to that band, showing more of herself than would previously have been plausible. It led to a linkup with Mark Ronson, with whom she toured the world for over two years. She has described the process as having liberated her to taking on new forms of expression with her writing and performing, ultimately leading her to produce an altogether more expansive and confident album.
She worked closely with Oli Bayston (aka Boxed In) in recording the album and the two share an optimistic, major-key disposition and a devotion to crisp, jeweled production values. The title track served as the album’s lead single, although such is the strength of the first half of the record that one assumes they just picked it out of a hat. A galloping bassline duels with jiving synths and a rippling guitar part, whilst Dougall’s honeyed melodies gambol over them. It toys with the playfulness of 60s sci-fi electronics, building a wash of sound that would be worthy of a Stereolab release.
The album is packed full of such goodies. Opener ‘Colour of Water’ features a long instrumental intro that asserts the importance of the studio band – this is a solo album in name only. ‘Strange Warnings’ is a song that first saw release a full four years ago, which is emblematic of the difficulties that Dougall had in securing the right platform for Stellular’s release. It’s another pop stomper, but for good measure features a deliciously spacey breakdown towards its end that sends the listener out of their pop delirium and into a jittering reverie.
Amidst all the poptimism, however, there is a lingering sense of the loss of something. On ‘Take Something With You’, she sings, “Now that you finally saw it wasn’t all that you thought it could be/I wonder if you’ll never find what you’ve been looking for”. She may simply refer to the sticky process of growing up, but there is a murmur of anger at the changes in her native London too. She’s seen a generation of dreamers come and go and now bears the scars of it. The melancholic sentiment meshes with the relentless sunshine of the music, though, in an endearingly Belle & Sebastian fashion, and the party continues regardless.
The formula is shaken somewhat with the slightly more sinister, synth-driven ‘All at Once’, which showcases a more lascivious, deviant side of Rose’s character. ‘Answer Me’ is an indie power ballad, written with Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt (a friend from the Mark Ronson tour). She even lets another voice in on the action on the duet ‘Dive’ with Bayston himself. But these are minor kinks in what is a pretty consistently paced and styled record. By the end of its twelve track running order, the format is familiar, perhaps too much so. ‘Poison Ivy’ and ‘Wanderer’, for example, struggle for space amongst the other more muscular earworms.
After a frustratingly long absence, Stellular feels like something of a coming out party for Rose Elinor Dougall. For a long time, many have hoped that this was the album she was capable of producing. Finally, she has stepped out into the light, her outward-facing confidence having infused her music with a timeless joy.

Every year for Easter I pick a few swimsuits for my girls. In Florida, April is the start of swimming season (so it’s not an official thing but it is the time of year our family starts spending more time in the pool or at the beach).
I had such a hard time putting together a list of my favorite suits this year. My usual go-tos didn’t have a great selection so I was left stumped on what swimsuits to get my girls. This ended up being a really good thing because it led me on a search for some swimsuit brands I had never heard of before.
I am so excited about these swimsuit picks, they are so unique and interesting and really different and I couldn’t be more happy with my selection. I hope you like them.
pink two piece
Banana rash guard suit
Llama two piece – I also love this one
Yellow mix and match set
Floral one piece
ruffle polka dot one piece
ruffle blue stripe one piece
fish eye rash guard suit
seersucker rainbow bikini
striped rash guard suit – here is the two piece version in the same print
The suits pictured at the beginning of this post are from here
(These suits pictured are from Old Navy last year. I was underwhelmed with their selection this year but did like this one and this one.)
If you want to see the ones I decided on for my girls (I wish I could have them all but that ain’t happening) head on over to my Easter Basket post here:
Little Girls Easter Basket Ideas
or this one:
Baby Girl’s First Easter Basket
I would love to hear what some of your favorites suits are for your little girls. I loved finding all these new shops and would love to find some more. Leave your favorite in the comments below.

Perhaps buoyed by the news that the city has stolen the global fashion capital crown from London, menswear shows at New York's fashion week have had some extra swagger this season, with an upsurge in interest in the more emerging and experimental designers and many events being oversubscribed.
Design duo Duckie Brown have always been out on a limb in city where understatement is still the norm when it comes to menswear. After over a decade of pushing gender boundaries with their designs (see their skirts for men last season), this season the British-Canadian duo showed actual womenswear for women alongside their men's collection in a mixed show which only emphasised the dynamic in their work between the established rules for what men and women can wear. In the menswear, short jackets over longer coats created skirt-like layers, and the masculine shapes of donkey jackets, MA1-type bombers and cropped military greatcoats were offset by flowing silky trousers and colours picked from the brightest of chinoiserie palettes. As models of both genders walked, there was a visual dialogue between the two sides of their collection, titled appropriately enough: The Duckie Has Two Faces.
Unrestrained by any concern for American dress codes, Korean label General Idea moved on a step from last season's fetishisation of luxury car interiors with a similar sense of luxury but more of a biker feel with generous amounts of leather, quilting and a playful take on layers with winter shorts/kilt hybrids echoing the biker jacket details, much like another leather jacket tied round the waist.
Robert Geller is fast emerging as one of New York's most dynamic young designers, with a diverse range of influences far from the mainstream, but grounded in strong masculine shapes with a sporty details and inventive layering. Geller's collection featured tactile wool in rich wintry colours like forest green and navy mixed up with shiny black and various shades of charcoal.
Siki Im is one of New York's leading conceptual designers and his collection this season was no exception. When most designers cite the 1970s as an influence, you can expect flares, long collars and disco excess. In the case of Im, his collection was inspired by less obvious 70s icons: German artist Joseph Beuys and filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder (surely the first time this "no oil painting" director has inspired a fashion collection). Im's materials included wool felt (a reference to Beuys who used felt in his multimedia work) and utilised the skills of renowned New York fashion illustrator Richard Haines to sketch (mostly outlines of male faces and dotted tailoring lines) in white pastel on the surface of the garments minutes before the show started. Last season, Im's models flip-flopped around in institutional slippers, this season he created clogs with brushed steel details. As ever, the inspirations were obscure but the results were a very different take on the 70s, though not without a certain 70s louche swagger, inspired by a very specific artistic elite.
There were also some firsts this week: high-end knitwear specialists Orley showed for the first time presenting not only knits but a full-scale collection in a venue that demonstrated the benefits of New York's great architectural spaces. And Public School, who have previously presented their polished streetwise separates in presentation form, graduated to a fully fledged show, featuring some very sporty tailoring, signature pilgrim hats and a graphic palette of black, white and grey.
Despite the rivalry evidenced by the fashion capital announcement, as ever, the dialogue between the two cities remains strong: New York echoed the interest in bold graphic lines seen at the London shows, the biker jackets, fur collars, shawls and the predominance of black, though New York never strayed as far from fashion's favourite colour as London did in its most recent flirtation with wild print and colour.
Two themes have developed in New York: first the T-shirt as something more substantial than an undergarment to be worn beneath layers; produced in more wintry fabrics like wool or leather, sometimes quilted or padded, it becomes a more versatile proposition: as a short-sleeved sweater for warmer Autumn days or as a bodywarmer over other layers.
Secondly, New York designers continue to experiment and play with proportion with short-over-long layers and long visible hemlines under bulkier top halves, blurring the lines between discrete garments. While it may take a while to persuade New Yorkers (or Londoners for that matter) to switch their chinos and dark denims for leather skirts and kilt hybrids, there is definitely a sense that New York's younger, edgier menswear designers are being noticed more if packed shows like Robert Geller's are anything to go by.

Another Beethoven cycle? Not for Andris Nelsons. This is his first. He and his City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra reached the Sixth and Seventh symphonies this week, with one concert left to go. After the breathless, bacchanalian frenzy which brought No 7 to a close and many in the capacity audience to their feet, it was clear something remarkable had taken place. I had to remind myself that "wow" is not yet acceptable in the critical lexicon except on Twitter.
Time and again the Latvian maestro urged the orchestra to their feet. Repeatedly they refused to budge, banging on their stands, stamping on the floor. You might think that he, not they, had made the phenomenal sounds we had just heard. In the end Nelsons wiped his brow and looked bemused, as if to acknowledge that, yes, perhaps after all he played some part in the alchemy. He took his bow, waving his hands like wings as if trying to embrace his entire orchestra.
The concert started with great serenity. The CBSO's admired and popular leader, Laurence Jackson, stepped forward as the fine soloist in Beethoven's Romance No 1, an ideal prelude to the non-heroic "Pastoral" symphony. Nelsons retained a relaxed and pliant mood, encouraging rude, rustic interventions from the bassoon and shaping the cuckooing woodwind with a deliberation and nuance that were never mannered. Only in the thunderstorm, ushered in by some nimble pitter-pattering rain from the second violins, did he encourage an ear-shattering fortissimo from brass and timps.
In the Seventh, too, speeds were fast, but Nelsons knows how to let the music breathe. In the minor-key Allegretto, counterpoint was transparent, each line supple rather than sombre or onerous. Each of the CBSO principals shone – hard to pick from the many, but flute and trumpet especially deserve mention – and reminded us why music from the past, played like this, is precisely as new and alive as a great performance of Hamlet, though no one ever complains, as they do about canonical composers, that Shakespeare is a "dead writer". The cycle will be released, date not yet announced, on Orfeo.
In a red-letter week, Nelsons and the CBSO also gave a concert performance of The Flying Dutchman with a top cast and sensational playing. Nelsons has frequently confessed his cradle devotion to Wagner – the music that first inspired him as a child – memorably demonstrated in Birmingham performances of Lohengrin and Tristan. Given the current flock of aerial Dutchmen – with new stagings last month in Belfast, next in Scotland – this is not the place to dwell on the story. The artistry of singers and players is what counts. The six-strong cast was dominated by James Rutherford in the title role, anguished yet almost aloof and noble in his agony as the seafarer who can never find rest.
As Senta, the dreamy girl who falls for him, the American Jennifer Wilson had exciting vocal power, sometimes pushing too hard to the detriment of intonation. Yet this merely emphasised the sense of this being a woman unhinged. Arnold Bezuyen as Erik was equally uneven but conveyed his despair with some blistering high notes. Alastair Miles imaginatively captured the shallow greed of Daland. Nicky Spence as the Steersman showed touching vitality and humour, with Jane Henschel characterful as Mary. The 100-strong CBSO Chorus sang with visceral intensity. As for Andris Nelsons, we have a great Wagnerian in our midst. In fact, let's face it, he's not bad all round.
Tchaikovsky, who once said that coming out of a Wagner opera (not Dutchman) was like being "set free from prison", intended his Eugene Onegin to be sung by young voices. The Royal Academy of Music chose it for their spring production. Jane Glover, the RAM's director of opera, who also conducted, elicited momentum and fluency from the small but accomplished orchestra, and gave expert encouragement to the singers. The director John Ramster and designer Adrian Linford kept the production simple, in 1820s empire style, flattering only to the few but never mind.
In the second of two casts, Sara Lian Owen sang Tatyana with richness of tone and a real gift for conveying emotion. Her blossoming from awkward teenager to married yet fragile woman was well conveyed. Gareth John's Onegin and Samuel Furness's Lensky were outstanding – both names to watch – with exceptional singing from these two ex-St John's, Cambridge choristers even if they did have to wear terrible lank, piratical wigs..

The Brooklyn Commune Global Congress will be a three-day participatory event sharing the findings of eight months of collaborative research. Participants will work collectively to develop a platform of positions and recommendations for creating a sustainable performing arts ecology. The Congress is the culmination of an eight-month investigation of the economic dilemma of the performing arts, the challenges facing artists and the corrosive impact of ongoing systemic dysfunction on the ability of artists to maintain viable creative lives in the city.
This artist-driven convening is meant to bring artists, administrators, institutions, funders, and other cultural thought leaders together to collectively envision arts and culture sector that is healthy, diverse and sustainable. The goal of the Congress is to identify meaningful, actionable solutions to systemic challenges, and to identify pathways toward a vibrant, dynamic, inclusive and resilient future for arts and culture in NYC and America.
The event opens for registration on Friday, November 22 at 6pm followed by a performance from Montreal-based musician Jordan Officer, a keynote address by a very special guest, introductory statements by Brooklyn Commune research coordinators and a presentation of the findings from the 2013 Performing Arts Census.
Saturday will consist of a series of participatory programs including a Labor & Value Seder using a “Haggadah” based on Baumol & Bowen’s seminal 1966 study “Performing Arts: The Economic Dilemma”, a Long Table discussion on race, gender, and privilege called “The Uncomfortable Conversation” and an open conversation among independent producers, curators and self-producing artists about the economics of working outside of institutions. Saturday will culminate in an evening of performances curated by CATCH at 8pm.
The Congress continues on Sunday, November 24 at 11am with a working session on artists, real estate, finance and the law, featuring a panel of professional attorneys. It will conclude with a collaborative creation and design program to assemble a final working draft of The Brooklyn Commune Project’s research paper to be published and distributed in January 2014 during the Association of Performing Arts Presenters conference in NYC.
Other programs for the Congress are in development will discuss funding, philanthropy and foundations and aesthetics. For more information please go to

On March 20, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued its first weekly “Declined Detainer Outcome Report,” which fulfills a requirement in President Trump’s January 25 Executive Order, “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States.” These reports are prepared to “highlight jurisdictions that choose not to cooperate with ICE detainers or requests for notification, therefore potentially endangering Americans.”
In conjunction with the release of this report, the Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) website posted this statement from Acting ICE Director Thomas Hom.
The statement posted by ICE notes that The Declined Detainer Outcome Report, in addition to listing the uncooperative jurisdictions, also includes examples of criminal charges associated with the aliens that local jurisdictions have released.
It explains that the report “is intended to provide the public with information regarding criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignores or otherwise failed to honor any detainers or requests for notification with respect to such aliens.”
A report from the March 20 Los Angeles Times noted that DHS’s detainer report listed 10 jurisdictions that fail to comply with detainers on a routine basis: Times also cited the report’s data listing a three-day stretch in late January and early February when the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department declined detainers for five people with criminal convictions.
The Times report continued:.
An article posted by The New American on February 1 reported that — in response to President Trump’s executive order directing local and state agencies to enforce existing immigration laws or face losing federal funds — San Francisco is suing the Trump administration, claiming that the orders violate states’ rights provisions. And in further defiance of Trump’s order, California is also attempting to become the first-ever sanctuary state.
Democrats in the state Senate have advanced bills to create statewide sanctuary for illegal immigrants, as well as providing taxpayer money to pay for immigration lawyers on behalf of immigrants facing deportation. One of the bills, SB 54, also known as the California Values Act, would prohibit state and local agencies from enforcing immigration laws or from working with immigration enforcement agencies. The legislation reads, in part:
In no event shall state or local law enforcement agencies or school police or security departments transfer an individual to federal immigration authorities for purposes of immigration enforcement or detain an individual at the request of federal immigration authorities for purposes of immigration enforcement absent a judicial warrant....
Unlike many politicians, however, most of the nation’s sheriffs, who operate about 85 percent of U.S. jails, are supportive of Trump’s efforts to deport the many illegal aliens within our borders. Despite this support, we reported in our article on February 13, some law enforcement personnel are uncertain about their legal right to hold prisoners for possible deportation, following a 2014 ruling by a U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois that invalidated the federal government’s practice of issuing detainers against people in law-enforcement custody.
However, that ruling in the class-action lawsuit Jimenez Moreno et al v. Napolitano invalidates only detainers issued out of ICE’s Chicago Field Office, not the rest of the country.
That uncertainty aside, we wrote, Trump’s January 25 executive order has emboldened officials in many jurisdictions. In an article posted on February 13 by The New American, journalist Bob Adelmann observed that in response to Trump’s executive order a number of cities that formerly considered themselves as “sanctuary cities” for illegal immigrants are reversing their policies. Among the jurisdictions doing so are.
As we noted previously, the DHS “Declined Detainer Outcome Report” will now be issued weekly, a practice that should help focus public attention on those jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with ICE officers.
An article posted on Hot Air (a blog created by conservative author Michelle Malkin) on March 21 ran under the provocative headline: “Can Trump ‘name and shame’ sanctuary cities into compliance?”
Citing another report published by the AP, the article pointed out a curious aspect of the DHS report, notably, that two-thirds of the 206 jurisdictions named for failing to comply with ICE detainers were in Travis County, Texas.
The Hot Air article observed: “It might seem a little counterintuitive that Texas is being so promptly featured here, particularly given the reputation that the Lone Star State has for strict law enforcement and conservative policies.” It went on to point out, however, that “Pretty much all of this activity took place in Austin, widely considered to be the epicenter of liberalism in that otherwise red state.”
The writer then went on to analyze a possible reason for the DHS to focus so much on the Austin area: [like California and New York].
Another advantage to exposing noncompliant law enforcement agencies in places such as Texas that support the deportation of illegal aliens is that it preserves states’ rights. If the state in question generally supports immigration enforcement, then naming the places that don’t comply will allow the state governments to take the local cities to task and deal with the issue internally. This relieves Washington from having to deal directly with recalcitrant cities in too heavy-handed a manner.
It will be interesting to see which places are listed in upcoming editions of the “Declined Detainer Outcome Report.”

Before passing the Himachal Pradesh Lokayukta bill 2014, the Himachal Pradesh assembly referred bill to the select committee for more amendments. Bill, that gives ombudsman special powers to have independent inquiry and prosecution wings, was introduced in the house on February 19.
Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said the bill, which will repeal the existing Himachal Pradesh Lokayukta Bill of 1983, should be referred to a select committee for consideration. He said that Govt wanted to make Lokayukta effective and purposeful.
Virbhadra Singh said that the government would call a special session of the house to pass the Lokayukta bill.
Earlier, participating in the debate, Deputy Speaker JP Negi welcomed the bill and advised to make flawless. Congress legislator Asha Kumar and HLP lone legislature Maheshwar Singh stressed to strengthen the bill and advised to refer to the select committee.
The opposition, which has picked already picket many flaws in the bill, was absent from the house when the bill was introduced. Speaking to press, leader of opposition Prem Kumar Dhumal said the Lokayukta bill was legally flawed and can be challenged in the court of law. He said that the party would give its opinion on the bill to the select committee.
Another bill, Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Bill, 2014, which was also listed for passing, was also referred to the select committee.

Pierce County is embarking on an 18-month journey to update its master plan for Pierce County Airport–Thun Field on South Hill, which hasn’t been updated since 1999.
And a lot can change in nearly 20 years.
A group of 18 people was assembled by the county for the Master Plan Advisory Committee (MPAC) and will participate in sessions over the next few months to develop the new plan.
“Their purpose is to help us set up the vision,” said Lauren Behm, Pierce County Planning and Public Works interim airport and ferry administrator. “We want the conversation to be about transportation, recreation and jobs.”

The members are local representatives from the aviation community, businesses, local and state government and law enforcement who will bring different perspective to the table to benefit the future of Thun Field, Behm said. Central Pierce Fire and Rescue, the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce and local pilots are some of the groups represented in MPAC.
Aside from a tour of Thun Field, MPAC had its first official meeting on Oct. 16, where attendees discussed the current weaknesses and strengths of Thun FIeld and hopes for the future.
MPAC identified that Thun Field’s location, specifically its commercial ties and proximity to its South Hill residents, businesses, youth and aviation programs are strengths of the airport. MPAC also addressed the increase in growth on South Hill as an opportunity moving forward.
But that same growth could also be a challenge to grapple with, according to MPAC members. As South Hill grows, so could traffic leading to Thun Field and the impact of noise on nearby neighborhoods.
MPAC also addressed Thun Field’s visibility and presentation, including signs and banners, as well as renovations for its airplane hangars, as potential areas for improvement and to bolster its community outreach.
Growing the airport’s facility space was also of great interest to its members to draw more pilots to the area. Currently, Thun Field’s runway is 3,650 feet long and 60 feet wide, with 22 acres of pavement on the facility. Thun Field ranks No. 6 out of 136 publicly-owned, public use airports in the state when it comes to the number of operations (take-offs and landings) and number of based aircrafts. There are currently 230 aircraft based on the site, and there could be room for more.
There’s a lot of potential for Thun Field moving forward, said Shelly Schlumpf, president and CEO of the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce, one of the MPAC members.
I’ve had my eye on (Thun Field) and the potential of it for four years. It’s a great resource to have an airport here in Pierce County and in our focus area.
Shelly Schlumpf, president and CEO of Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce
“I’ve had my eye on (Thun Field) and the potential of it for four years,” Schlumpf said. “It’s a great resource to have an airport here in Pierce County and in our focus area.”
To receive funding for the master plan from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), MPAC and Pierce County are responsible for putting together a visual Airport Layout Plan (ALP) and a Capital Improvements Plan (CIP), which outlines year-by-year projects to complete at the airport. Both plans will be presented to the FAA. Mead & Hunt, which provides provides consulting services in architecture, engineering and planning, was selected to lead the update.
Two open houses about the updated plan are scheduled for next year. The public can stay updated on the project at piercecountywa.org/plumasterplan.

- Americans are a lottery-playing people, a day-trading people, a people who in the summer of 2013 sent a song called “Get Lucky” soaring to the top of the charts. And yet we’re famously predisposed to underestimate the role of luck in our lives—as anyone who recalls Obama’s “you didn’t build that” brouhaha will know. We walk around in a dumb haze of self-determinism. In a new interview, the economist Robert H. Frank offers a useful corrective to those who would argue that success is merely the result of hard work: “I prefer just to look at how people naturally construct their life histories. We assemble narratives about ourselves routinely and the elements that go into those are the things that we can retrieve most comfortably from memory … twenty.”
- In a new book, the art historian Joseph Leo Koerner argues that Hieronymus Bosch was really painting from life—it’s just that “everyday life was bound inextricably to what seems its polar opposite: an art of the bizarre, the monstrous, the uncanny.” Reviewing Koerner’s argument, Alexandra Harris writes: “To make us feel the overwhelming fertility of the world, holding us on the vertiginous brink of mesmerized attraction and repulsion, Bosch has to paint the ‘enemy territory’ that is everyday life … Koerner leads us carefully towards The Garden of Earthly Delights, intent both on preparing us for the horror and on deepening our experience of it. In their closed state, the grisaille shutters bear the translucent sphere of a half-made universe, quiet and yet brewing, heavy with giant husks and seedpods, ‘at once fecund and already decaying.’ The doors of the world part to reveal what Koerner calls ‘psychology in painted form.’ There in the middle is the eye of the owl, one of Bosch’s figures for himself, an emblem of the devil, yet all-seeing, like the eye of God.”
- James Gleick looks back at the career of Hugo Gernsback, who published a series of pulp magazines in the 1920s that literally gave science fiction its name: . ‘Science. ‘We may soon expect fantastic towers piercing the sky and giving off weird purple glows when energized.’ Antigravity. Floating cities. Flying men with power rays. He promised all these in the pages of Science and Invention.”
- Advice for artists from Ralph Steadman, who says, Fuck it, skip the pencil, skip the drafts, just take out the heavy artillery and see what happens on the page: “People used to say, ‘Don’t you make a mistake?’ But there’s no such thing as a mistake, only an opportunity to do something else, change, adapt it as you go along. I’ve just been doing a drawing of Willie Nelson for someone, and I was showing it to someone and the ink was still wet, and it dribbled down the drawing. But it’s okay: I’ll pull it round somehow. I don’t like the second guess. I like taking the bull by the horns and going with it. Straight in there. Things happen, accidents happen, interesting things happen when you start drawing straight away into the white surface. One thing I love doing is slapping paint straight away on to a brand new piece of paper. There’s a great joy in that. Taking it from there. A lot of that goes on in the drawings. I’m not very fond of pencil.”
- In which Inigo Thomas introduces a British audience to Ann Coulter, whose inflammatory blend of bigotry, punditry, and F-list comedy routines Americans know all too well: “ ‘What pisses me off is when they don’t get the punch line,’ Coulter has said of her audiences. The reactionary tone of so much American political humor is a strangely neglected subject: it’s become axiomatic that if you want to see your opponent trashed then you set out to see them laughed at, and that if you’re going to be a tribune of the people you’d better have the viciousness of the stand-up comedian. Coulter knows that … I was for a time Coulter’s editor at George magazine in the late 1990s, although attempts at editing were met with suspicions you were trying to censor her. Somewhere in my files I have a sheet of thumbnail photos of Coulter posing with a pistol.”

The tragedy has devastated the number of bookings from Mainland China, with the number of Chinese arrivals in July up only 0.04% year-on-year after a 20% rise in June, said Yuthasak Supakorn, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT).
While the TAT is maintaining its arrivals projection from China at 10 million this year, Mr Yuthasak said he would fly to Beijing in mid-August to discuss improving safety and security measures, particularly in marine tourism, with top officials from the China National Tourism Administration and the Culture Ministry.
China has become the largest source market for Thailand’s tourism industry and is projected to contribute B200 billion in revenue this year.
During the first five months, Chinese tourists already generated B100bn thanks to the rise in independent travellers, who spend more, on average, than those coming in groups.
The TAT also plans to ask tourism authorities and operators in China to help strengthen and restore two-way travel between Thailand and China, as well as take part in joint marketing campaigns.
Mr Yuthasak expressed hope that Chinese tourist numbers would return to normal during the Golden Week holidays (Oct 1-7).
He said he would push for the establishment of a national tourism safety centre to oversee and manage crises more efficiently.
The establishment of that body is pending approval from the Tourism and Sports Ministry.

A reader named Mika from California contacted me long ago about a variety I hadn’t reviewed.
A reader named Mika from California contacted me long ago about a variety I hadn’t reviewed.
So yeah look at that insane assortment of noodles – it’s really quite insane. My lovely Kit was so kind as to give me the gift of oriental flava today! First we went to Sun Ya in Seattle – a Chinese restaurant that has dim sum for lunch. Then to Uwajimaya where I got a ton of noodles! The we checked out a place called Viet Wah – that was awesome and yes, more noodles. Then to Seafood City and yes…. MORE NOODLES! Finally after coming back and relaxing for a bit, we decided on homemade Korean BBQ for dinner. Got the stuff at 99 Ranch Market and yup – got another noodle cup! In all, there’s 65 unique varieties here that will be reviewed on Ramen Rater! So Enjoy!

UK censor launches online content classification drive
Age verification to become the norm?
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has launched its online classification system for downloadable movies and games.
The voluntary scheme asks online retailers to display the BBFC’s age-suitability classification prominently on each title's download page. Additional BBFC certification information, including what sorts of content the film contains - sexual material, violence and so on - will be available through the seller's website and the BBFC’s.
Classifications for online and physical offerings remain the same, allowing the BBFC to shrug off recent criticism from Paul Jackson, director general of the European Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), that the BBFC won’t be able to cope with extra classification duties.
How the BBFC’s online certification information is displayed will differ according to the medium, but it will be available for a wide variety of platforms, from computers to mobile phones.
So-called “gatekeeping” methods can be decided by the retailer, but the BBFC claimed it will make regular checks on each participant to ensure secure age-verification procedures have been put in place. For example, the board said asking buyers to simply state their date of birth won’t be enough. Instead, it will demand age checks be made through credit cards and/or online age-verification services.
The BBFC claimed its online classification service “isn’t an attempt to censor the internet”. Rather, David Cooke, director of the BBFC, said at the London launch today, it’s simply “the latest step in the modernisation of film classification”.
Online videogame certification was noticeably low on the BBFC’s agenda at the launch. And only three major film studios have so far signed up to support the initiative: Warner, Disney and 20th Century Fox.
Although the BBFC hasn’t disclosed which other online services it’s currently in talks with, the board said it expects “the majority of online digital sales to be going through the service” within a few months.
Existing titles will need to be formally approved by the BBFC for online distribution, the organisation said. That costs £45 a title. Future releases will be automatically certified for both online and physical sale for the standard fee.
According to independent research cited by the BBFC, 84 per cent of adults want to see BBFC film and DVD classification on downloadable and streamed films, while 63 per cent of adults are concerned about downloading video material that doesn’t come with independent advice and age labelling.
More information about BBFC Online is available here.

Six arrested in pre-dawn meth raid
MUNCIE – Six people were arrested early Tuesday after police said they found an active methamphetamine lab in a southside home.
Two of those arrested — Charles Lewis Myers and Glenn Eric Hatfield, both 44 and apparently of 2410 S. Pershing Drive — were preliminarily charged with dealing in meth and maintaining a common nuisance.
Myers was also preliminarily charged with possession of meth.
Scott O’Dell of the Muncie Police Department’s narcotics unit said MPD uniform officers were sent to the South Pershing Drive address about 3:30 a.m. based on a citizen complaint.
Once in the area, he said, officers could smell the now-familiar odor associated with meth “cooking.” Authorities allegedly found a “one-pot” meth lab and materials used in the production of meth.
An Indiana State Police team was called to the house to remove potentially dangerous materials.
Myers was being held in the Delaware County jail under a $15,500 bond.
Hatfield — whose criminal record includes convictions for burglary, domestic battery, driving while intoxicated and possession of marijuana — was being held under a $12,500 bond.
Also arrested, on preliminary charges of visiting a common nuisance, were Lucinda Leann Buie, 32; William Delbert Hatfield, 24; Rex Allen Kreager, 37, and Kyle Edward Osborne, 25.
Kreager was convicted of theft last November.

The University of North Carolina School of the Arts Summer Music School will present two free concerts by the Summer Strings chamber ensemble at The Arts Place of Stokes in Danbury.
The series kicks off this Friday, June 15 at 7 p.m. with an exciting collaboration of students and faculty, including Europe’s top violin teacher, Ida Bieler, cellist Brooks Whitehouse, violist Ulrich Eichenauer, and artistic director Janet Orenstein. The performance will include the cheerful and straightforward Haydn London Trio IV:1, with selections from the Solo Bach Suites, Partitas and Sonatas, performed on violin, viola, and cello.
The Summer Strings ensemble returns to The Arts Place on Friday, June 22 at 7 p.m. to perform two compositions. The first, Possessed for solo cello was composed by John Steinmetz was written as a comic piece poking fun at the concert ritual with a solo cellist speaking the thoughts that run through a performer’s mind during a concert. The second, Beethoven’s String Trio, Op. 9, is considered by some to be the most energetic of all of Beethoven’s string trios, with dynamic effects and sharp contrasts in rhythm providing momentum and tone.
The UNC School of the Arts Summer Music School offers aspiring musicians of all ages rich learning experiences and an abundance of opportunities to perform. Students are immersed in an intensive and supportive musical environment with faculty who are both world-class performers and dedicated teachers. There will be eight summer of concerts brought to Stokes County by the UNC School of the Arts Music School, with the annual series supported by the Reynolds American Foundation and a Grassroots Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Concessions will be available for purchase by the Stokes County Arts Council in support of student scholarships. For more information, contact the Stokes County Arts Council at 336 593-8159 or visit.

Emmerdale’s Finn Barton confirmed dead after being shot by mum Emma
The office assistant was declared dead in the emotional opening moments of tonight's episode after he was shot by his deranged mother Emma earlier in the week
FINN Barton has died in Emmerdale.
The office assistant - who is played by actor Joe Gill in the ITV soap - was declared dead in the emotional opening moments of tonight's episode after he was shot by his deranged mother Emma earlier in the week.
It had looked like he might be in the clear after he was picked up by Cain Dingle and Harriet Finch after crawling out of the woods and throwing himself in front of their car, but as Wednesday night's episode closed, his heart rate monitor began to flatline and he finally died tonight.
Panicking viewers took to Twitter to plead for his safety, with one writing: "I am going to be so annoyed if they kill off Finn or blame Adam as the shooter!! emmerdale, give us what we want, a happy ending!!"
"Come on Finn you can pull through this," said one, while another even commented: "If Finn dies on emmerdale we riot."!"
However other fans questioned how Emma could get through security when the police were actively looking for her and had issued media appeals.
"Except that would never happen in real life!!" wrote one viewer adding: "She would not be able to steal that baby! So far fetch. She needs to die already."

LOUISE Redknapp looked happier than ever as she filmed her latest fashion blog.
The 43-year-old grinned broadly as she wore a black jumper, with the words ‘Feel Love’ emblazoned across it.
Modelling the look, the mum-of-two appeared to be in her element in the latest lookbook on her YouTube channel, A Style Album by Lou & Em.
Earlier this year Louise launched a new YouTube channel for her blog, which sees her teamed up with stylist Emma Thatcher.
It is just one of her ventures for the New Year as she goes forward as a single woman following her quickie divorce from ex-husband Jamie Redknapp.
Last night the former Eternal singer took to the stage in Manchester as she kicked off her sold-out UK tour.."
Louise split from Jamie last year after almost two decades of marriage, and their divorce was given the green light just days after Christmas.

We'd be lying if we said we were only a little obsessed with Disney movies. A lot of us grew up in Disney's golden era, and our classics, such as The Little Mermaid, Hercules, and The Lion King are still on our radars and in our hearts.
These days, that goes doubly so - with all the new live-action movies Disney is churning out of the classics, we'll never run out of new content of our old favorites. Perhaps the most anticipated title thus far is coming out in March of 2017: Beauty and the Beast. We're all very excited for this iteration of one of the best, as this tale as old as time will certainly be nothing short of incredible.
One interesting thing about this fan-favorite film is that many viewers at home seemed to fall in love with the villain, Gaston. While villains in Disney movies prior had very little sex-appeal, this villain looked more like previous heroes than Ursula, Captain Hook, and the rest. His charm, muscles, and catchy songs made it really hard to dislike him, to be perfectly honest.
It doesn't end there; many Disney villains became so likeable and so beloved that they did the opposite of what they were intended - they made us grow attached to them and like them.
But why? What are the reasons behind this? Why do we love the characters that we're supposed to hate?
WE can't say for sure, but we have a few theories. Here's a list of Disney villains that we absolutely love (in no particular order) and why we just can't get enough of them!
16 Scar (Lion King)
You'd be lyin' if you said you didn't love Scar! One of the most beloved Disney villains of all time, this cool cat is actually really scary. Many villains are power hungry, but how many of them plot to kill their older brother - and then actually do it? And he didn't even send a henchman out to take care of the job, he did it himself...and then made his nephew take the blame! That's pure, unadulterated evil right there.
So we know we shouldn't love him, but his song. is. so. darn. CATCHY!!! And watching it on youtube gives viewers the option to watch it in different languages, and every single time, the power, cunning, and class that his character possesses is beautifully conveyed. Not that we have any problems with the English version - Jeremy Irons was absolutely purr-fect for the role!
15 Hades (Hercules)
Hades is one of the most interesting Disney villains in existence. For one thing, he's a god and is therefore immortal. He has a lot of time on his hands, and he decides to spend it making wisecracks. Simultaneously, he has bigger plans - he wants to overthrow his big wig brother, Zeus, and rule over Mount Olympus (and therefore over all mankind). So it's kind of like this weird dynamic where he's hilarious but also dead serious. Which we seriously can't get enough of.
Another cool aspect? His hair! When he's cool as a cucumber, it's blue (which is counter-intuitive because blue fire is very hot). When he's mad as can be, his hair burns bright yellow, orange, and red. To invoke the wrath of this god would be a deadly mistake, but at least there will be plenty of jokes!
14 Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
We feel sorry for the poor, unfortunate souls who don't absolutely love Ursula! In truth, she's terrifying - she basically bargains away the freedom of the unsuspecting merpeople who trust her to fulfill their wildest wishes. But on the other hand, she's so full of life and sass. Anything modeled after Divine, a famous drag queen, is bound to be amazing...and the Sea Witch did not disappoint!
Another thing we can't get enough of is the song she sings. She has so much personality, voice, and charisma in that short amount of screen time, but it's still so incredibly iconic. Also, she's extremely unique - mermaids are a dime a dozen, but a mer-octopus? Now that's something different! Truly, Ursula is one of a kind and has definitely stayed in our hearts after all these years (impossible contract not required).
13 Gaston (Beauty and the Beast)
Gaston loves to start off strong - literally! He's the villain of Beauty and the Beast, one of the most beloved Disney movies of all time. In this film, Gaston has the looks of a brave hero that we've become accustomed to, so we're almost thrown through a loop when Belle immediately turns him down. Of course, this is because he doesn't support her dreams and intellect, but again, not Disney's typical MO.
The reason why we love him still is because he has a catchy song, he's super strong, and he's certainly easy on the eyes. In addition, he's willing to fight for what he believes in and is a natural-born leader. The entire town rallies around him when he decries it necessary, so he's definitely loved by many. Of course, it may not be a good thing to fall in love with him. For example, he didn't even take the time to listen to Belle say that the Beast was harmless and tried to send her father to a mental institution. So unless your values are aligned with his, you'll have an unhappy marriage. Be forewarned!
12 Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove)
If anyone can "out-fab" Cuzco, it's Yzma. He's already kind of a diva to begin with, but throwing Yzma into the mix really makes for an entertaining watch. Plus, the loveable Kronk is her henchman, and not only is he hilarious, but he can make some killer spinach puffs.
Truthfully, Yzma has it rough. She was the only real parental figure Cuzco had (why, she practically raised him!), yet she was still kicked to the curb simply because she decided to take over for a day. To be fair, it's not like Cuzco was doing a good job at the time anyway. But she still transmogrified him into a llama against his will, and that's really a major no-no. Notes for next time - she should really consider relabeling her bottles and getting rid of that lever (why does she even have that lever?).
11
10 Oogie Boogie (Nightmare Before Christmas)
Oogie Boogie definitely deserves a place in our hearts for putting a face to an otherwise scary notion that haunted the dreams of children everywhere and showed us that the boogieman wasn't all that bad in the first place. But for some reason, Oogie Boogie doesn't get enough love. Maybe it's because he's made of bugs, or maybe it's because he doesn't really want to love or be loved. Or maybe...just maybe...it's because he kidnapped Santa Claus and tried to harm him. Or something like that.
But honestly, Oogie Boogie is pretty cool. For one thing, he's the living embodiment of the boogieman, but he can carry a catchy tune! Another thing is that he's basically a burlap sack animated by bugs, and we have to say, that's a pretty crazy feat. Like where does the voice come from? And thought processes? How are they all in sync? Simply a mystery.
9 Helga Sinclair (Atlantis: The Lost Empire)
The demure and dangerous Helga Sinclair. If you're scratching your head and saying "who?" it's okay - perfectly understandable. She was one of the main antagonists in the movie "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" who didn't show her true colors until the very end (and then again, at the very very end).
Even though Helga did her part to make sure that the secrets of Atlantis would fall into the wrong hands, she was double-crossed at the last moment and fought valiantly to save her life. She kicked some serious tail and looked incredible while doing it. Unfortunately, she died after being thrown from a hot air balloon, but not after foiling the true villain's escape. In a way, she kind of redeemed herself, but only because of circumstance. Had she not been betrayed by her buddy, it's doubtful she would have stopped the whole thing. So we still shouldn't love her, but...ugh. It's hard not to!
8
7 Professor Ratigan (The Great Mouse Detective)
We're really digging into the depths of the Disney vault for this one! Professor Ratigan is from the movie "The Great Mouse Detective", an animated movie based off the Sherlock Holmes novels and character. Professor Ratigan is a rat, but don't say that where he can hear you - he insists that he's a mouse, and saying otherwise will get you eaten by his pretty kitty, Felicia.
So why is he someone we love? Again, the catchy song sure helps his case, but also that he really just wanted to fit in. It's not uncommon to feel like you don't belong with your group and want to blend in with another, so really, him insisting that he's a mouse...like, who is that gonna hurt? Still, he shouldn't have tried to overthrow the queen. That part was wrong. But everything not part to that plot? We can relate to him.
6 Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)
Maleficent is not really someone to admire. After all, the self-proclaimed mistress of all evil crashed a party, cursed a baby, and then sulked for sixteen years. Then she kidnapped the baby-turned-adolescent and ensured that her curse would happen, then turned into a dragon to defeat the guy infatuated with the sleeping maiden. So...yeah, she has some issues she needs to work out.
But she's also just so delightfully petty. Like she wasn't invited to a party, so she makes everyone pay for it. Not just for the next week or something, but for almost two decades. We have all been petty, but not this level of petty. And it's just so relate-able that it's almost endearing. Plus she has one of the best lines in the entire movie: "here's your precious princess". We know that's a meme somewhere. We just know it.
5 Michael "Goob" Yagoobian (Meet The Robinsons)
We might catch some flak for this, but we can explain. For one thing, it's a newer movie but not a very popular one. And this villain is barely a villain at all, but he does go back in time to ruin Lewis's life and the lives of the characters we're supposed to love, so that sounds kind of villainous.
But Goob, AKA Bowler Hat Guy, is actually not so bad. His backstory is that he was raised in an orphanage alongside our technologically adept hero. Goob never was able to sleep due to all the racket his bunkmate's projects made, so he was constantly exhausted. This lead to him missing a game-winning catch, which in turn made him so bitter that he scared off potential adoptive parents. And really, when you look at it that way, you kind of feel bad for him. Because who else can relate to being absolutely miserable with no sleep?
4 Chernabog (Fantasia)
Chernabog has long been hailed as the most evil Disney villain of all time. His scene from Fantasia, "Night On Bald Mountain", has been deemed too dark, scary, and is the source of a few urban legends alluding to crazy murders (what???). His demonic gaze and the way he plays with the souls of the dead certainly lend credibility to these claims; some even call him the devil himself.
But if you think about his performance in Fantasia...is he really all that bad? The souls of the dead were partying, and he was partying with them. It's not like he went out and killed more people. And then when the bells came out, he called it a night and went to sleep. Seems pretty harmless, even if it is spooky. But we still love him because he's the perfect Disney villain. Like he seems totally cool with being the most evil character in the Disney universe. And it's kind of easy to love something so perfect like that.
3 Dawn Bellwether (Zootopia)
Sorry for all ten people that haven't seen Zootopia yet, but the main antagonist in this movie is actually the small, meek prey animal Dawn Bellwether. She has a delightfully evil scheme to slander the character of predators, making them seem bloodthirsty and mindless, in order for her and the rest of the prey animals to secure power and reign supreme.
Why do we find this loveable? Well, for one, she is adorable, and we spent a fair portion of the movie believing she was rooting for Judy. The literal embodiment of a wolf in sheep's clothing, we just never saw it coming when she went rogue and staged her coup. And for someone so cute and so little, we kind of like that level of confidence. Like she's going up against animals that could eat her in one bite, yet she still fights. And that's kind of badass.
2 Dr. Facilier (Princess and the Frog)
Of all the “true” villains on the list, Dr. Facilier is perhaps the most underappreciated. For one thing, he’s actually capable of powerful magic…with a twist: he lures people in by seemingly promising their wildest wishes, then giving them something else altogether. He also owes his power to his “friends on the other side”, which means that he’s borrowing something unknown – a bit scary, really!
But we love him because he’s definitely charming. His voice, catchy song, and false promises definitely lure us into a false sense of security. Everything seems too good to be true – because it is – but we still hope for the absolute best. It’s tempting to do otherwise! And really, his magic wasn’t all that bad – there are worse things than being a frog, and finding your true love through the ordeal is actually a great outcome. Cut the guy some slack!
1 Captain Hook (Peter Pan)
Captain Hook is a bit of a wild card. His only real goal is to foil Peter Pan, so that means a lot of crazy schemes end up being shoved through the pipeline. This is dangerous, since he doesn’t seem to have any regard for the lives of others – as long as he can get at Peter Pan, he’ll do whatever it takes. Ruthless.
We still love him, though, because he’s so goofy and adorably fails in ways that even a child can foresee. His PTSD is also something that humanizes him – we’d be terrified of crocodiles if they ate our hand, too! And have you seen his fashion sense? That hat is simply fabulous, and that mustache is something that only dreams are made of. You can tell he cares about personal grooming. If only he cared about the lives of others that much!

The Marlin Model 39 claims to be the oldest continually-produced cartridge rifle in history. Its parent design was born during the unexceptional presidency of Benjamin Harrison, whose bust never even made it onto the Mount Rushmore Commemorative Paperweight. Unlike that former Commander-In-Chief, this 19th Century Fox was blessed with what sales and marketing types like to call ‘legs.’ Legs so long, in fact, that it’s still a perennial favorite here in the 21st Century.
Does it deserve it? You bet it does…
Overview
The Marlin Model 39 is a lever-action .22 rimfire rifle, manufactured by Marlin between 1921 and 1937. It has a 24″ fully octagonal barrel, a color-blued receiver, and a tube magazine that holds 16 and maybe 17 rounds of .22 Long Rifle. The sighting apparatus is a beaded front post and a drift-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with an elevation ramp. Like most .22 lever-actions it will also feed and fire .22 Short and Long cartridges, although we didn’t have any to run through our test rifle.
History
The Model 39 is descended from the Marlin Model 1891, a solid frame lever-action .22 introduced in…wait for it…1891. The 1891 used the same side loading gate as the Winchester series of lever-actions, but jamming the tiny rimfire rounds through the tiny loading gate proved to be a major pain in the ass and Marlin switched to tube-loading the next year. In keeping with their cryptic product designation codes, Marlin called this slightly-revised design the Model…1892.
Five years later the solid frame was changed to a takedown design which allowed the gun to be separated at the receiver for cleaning and storage, using a nickel for a screwdriver. You’ve probably guessed that this model was called the Model 1897. More minor changes were made in 1921 and the gun was renamed the Model 39, even though it wasn’t 1939 yet. Go figure.
Toward the later part of the Model 39s long production run it became apparent that the old bolt design wasn’t strong enough to handle then-modern ‘high-speed’ .22 Long Rifle cartridges. The bolt was redesigned to handle the higher pressures, and those Model 39s were designated with an “HS” prefix to their serial numbers. Our test gun was such a rifle, happily safe to shoot with any .22 Long Rifle ammunition ever made.
Only minor changes were made throughout the evolution of the 1891/1892/1897/39/39A design, and most parts and dimensions remained constant from one year (and one model) to the next. The 1897 has as much in common with a brand-new 39A as a 1980s Gen1 Glock has with its own latest iteration. It’s not too much of a stretch to say that the 39A has been continuously produced since 1891, although there was a 4-year break in production during WWII.
Operation
The Model 39 is a little different in operation from a modern rimfire lever-action. Which is to say, it’s a little bit better. The despicable cross-bolt safety that has infected most of the lever-gun biosphere (although not the Henry) simply didn’t exist back then, and neither did the awkward and easily-broken tube magazine plunger.
My very first rifle was a Marlin Model 60 semi-automatic. I still own it, but I can’t remember how many times I cringed as the spring-loaded plunger slammed violently into the magazine tube when I tipped the muzzle upwards to load it. I also dropped it several times, and it’s a minor miracle (not quite the loaves and the fishes, but better than a good card trick) that it still works at all, much less perfectly.
The Model 39 is so old-school that they hadn’t invented that kind of silliness yet. Instead of pulling out the plunger with the magazine spring inside it, you press the detent button (above) and pull out the outer magazine tube itself. When pulled out about 18 inches the outer tube locks in place, and this reveals an inner magazine tube with the little cartridge-shaped cutout to slip the rounds into. Since the outer tube locks in the ‘open’ position, you can tip up the muzzle without the plunger ramming itself back down, and one-handed loading is suddenly made simple.
While it’s still slower than feeding cartridges through a receiver loading gate, the Model 39’s design is infinitely better than the ‘modern’ (read: cheap) loading design of my Model 60 and of the Model 39As. It doesn’t take two people to load a Model 39! Why do so many modern tube-fed rifles get it so wrong? If the Henry Rifle Co. would switch to this much more elegant loading system it might cost a few more bucks, but could gain them legions of shooters who simply cannot abide their loading procedure.
The rest of the rifle works exactly the way you’d want a lever-action to work. Once you’ve loaded up the tube with sixteen rounds, you’re ready to rack and roll. Unlike modern Marlin triggers, this old-school rifle sports a solid one-piece trigger which will not flop around. It also uses a one-piece firing pin, which makes it more theoretically vulnerable to slam-fires if it’s dropped on its muzzle while loaded. Since I’ve never done this with any firearm, I wasn’t concerned about it on the Model 39.
Takedown
With the twist of a nickel, the split receiver opens like a Faberge Egg, revealing a marvelous lockwork of hand-fit Steampunk intricacy. This particular rifle was built between 1937 and 1939, with essentially the same lockwork that Marlin had been using for 30 years. The craftsmen who built this gun knew what they were doing; even almost 75 years later it still fits together and runs like clockwork. The only exception is the bolt itself, which seems as though it might have been a replacement part, transplanted from another rifle at some point. It doesn’t fit with the same precision that every other part does, but it still fits better than the bolts I saw on new-manufacture Marlin 39As at a gun show last month. And speaking of fit and finish…
Fit and Finish
You have to give a 75 year-old gun a little slack, especially when it comes to noncritical internal surfaces, blueing and wood-to-metal fit. Those guys didn’t have CNC mills to do the work for them, and fancy coatings like Melonite or nickel-boron were decades in the future. Every cut was measured twice, cut by hand-adjusted machine tools, and detail fit with files, stones, and emory cloth. Steel was either in the white, color-hardened, or blued.
The blueing on this rifle has held up remarkably well. I’m not a whiz at rating firearm finishes on the NRA scale, but the blued barrel still retains almost all of its original blueing except at the corners. The color-hardened receiver hasn’t fared so well, because color hardening doesn’t produce as durable or protective a finish as ordinary blueing. The receiver’s finish has dulled to a pleasing satin, with some patches of minor surface discoloration.
The wood is still in remarkably good shape. 75 years have caused some shrinkage away from the metal in places, but it still boasts a wood-to-metal fit that puts modern Marlins to shame. The only jarring ‘character mark’ on the whole rifle is the hard plastic buttplate. It’s a poorly-fitting replacement part, not made for this rifle, and the heel of the buttplate sticks out about 1/4″ proud of the wood of the buttstock itself. It’s a pity, but I wouldn’t dream of having it ‘repaired.’ A gun like this can be ‘restored’ by an expert restorer (more akin to a museum conservator than to a gunsmith) using period parts, but never ‘repaired.’
With this in mind, the quality of workmanship that went into this rifle is excellent. The octagonal barrel flats are true and flat, and the receiver halves mate together like the hand-fit sidelocks of a bespoke English double. All of the moving parts, of course, are slicker and smoother than silvered glass: they’ve been lapping against each other for three-fourths of a century, yet somehow they’re still tight and solid.
The lever and trigger are better than a brand-new Marlin, which may be scant praise, but also slightly better than the action and trigger of a heavily-customized race gun like my .357 Magnum Model 1894. The old Marlin is at least the equal of the finest brass-framed lever guns I’ve ever fired like Henrys and Ubertis, and that’s the highest praise I can give.
The lever works with smooth and nearly silent precision. The trigger offers only minimal takeup, breaks very cleanly at exactly three pounds, and then follows up with a little more overtravel than we’d like to see. Did it affect accuracy? We doubt it.
Accuracy and Functioning
Feeding and functioning was, um, perfect. The old Marlin fired all the contents of my ‘remainders’ bag of .22s: standard and high-velocity roundnoses, hollowpoints and truncated cones from a half-dozen brands, randomly fed into the magazine tube. Somehow the point of impact didn’t shift more than a quarter-inch at 30 yards from one brand of ammo to the next; I’m not sure that’s physically possible, but there it was.
It was also perfectly zeroed, right out of the gun case, with no fiddling whatever. Neither of us are crack marksmen with iron sights (thanks for my crappy eyesight, law school) but Kurk and I discovered that we simply could not miss with this rifle; the trigger was so clean and the handling was so steady that even firing offhand at 50 yards we rarely missed a tin can or clay pigeon. Or a bottle cap. Or a fragment of a clay pigeon.
Or basically anything. Out to 50 yards, anything big enough to see unaided was big enough to hit with the first round.
Fun
A marksman with better eyes than mine could teach more than a few bolt-action target shooters a lesson in accuracy with this rifle, but that’s not really what a lever-action .22 is for. It’s built for small-game hunting, plinking and fun, and for me there may be no .22 rifle in the world that’s more fun a good lever-action.
How much fun is it? Fun is hard to quantify (except perhaps in dollars, laughs or pints) but we had more of it after running 200 or so rounds through the Marlin than we did after running 400 rounds through my Evil Assault, er, Modern Sporting Carbines. We’d already had a great day shooting (great weather, no malfunctions, and we were both shooting exceptionally well) but the real fun didn’t start until we pulled out the Marlin. After 75 years, it had both of us grinning like idiots and taking offhand potshots at tin cans 75 yards off. And usually hitting them.
You just can’t buy that kind of fun.
Epilogue
No, I really meant it. You can’t buy that kind of fun from Marlin; not today. The virtues of this fine old rifle, sadly, are not embodied in the modern Model 39A’s on the rack at Wal-Mart. Marlin’s historic Connecticut factory is an empty and shuttered ruin. The clean lines of the Model 39’s receiver are now blemished by an ungainly cross-bolt safety with a plasticky look and feel. The bright blued octagonal barrel is a thing of the past, replaced by a round barrel with a rough Dremel Tool finish. The receiver halves of modern Model 39A’s no longer fit together tightly, and wood-to-metal fit is atrocious.
Marlin may yet rescue this design from a shameful demise (I keep hoping they’ll make it) but for now, if you want a good one, you have to get an old one.
RATINGS (out of five)
Accuracy: ****
More accurate than I could hope to be with iron sights. The excellent trigger, long barrel and sighting radius make it a marvelous offhand rifle.
Shooting Ergonomics: ****
Marlin has had handling nailed for 120 years. (Loading ergonomics are a different story: **1/2. The old-style tubular magazine loading was vastly better then than it is now, but still awkward. )
Reliability: *****
It ate my whole bag of leftover .22s and then some.
Aesthetics: *****
The classic lines of a classic rifle that Marlin should never have changed. Wish it still had its original buttplate, though.
Overall Rating: *****
How do you ‘rate’ a pre-’64 Model 70? Or a pre-war Colt 1911, or a K98 Mauser? The Model 39 is one of those designs that helped define what a firearm should be.
My first gun was a new Marlin 39A in 1963. More recently I found a ’69 vintage 39M. I tested the two rifles for accuracy and the 39M was much more accurate. After all the rounds I had put through my 39A in the ‘60s, the barrel was shot. I had it rebarreled at the factory and now the 39A and 39M are about equal in accuracy and ready for another 50 yrs. of use.
Welcome Tom, I am the other Tom and I have a 39A built in the late 1970s which was not so great. Machining could have been better and I do not think the barrel to reciever is quite right. Gun had a lot of problems with the magazine tab and would jam. Finally got an old spacer of a 39 and it finally worked. Sights came loose as well. I was somewhat disappointed.
My first gun was a new 1972 Marlin 39M which I still have and my 14 year old son drools over the prospect of it being handed down to him some day. I am very fortunate that my grandfather was a die-hard, lever action fan and my grandparents spent the extra bucks on this gun for my 14th birthday present.
It is a “dream” to shoot!
It’s sad to see Marlin going the way they are. I had a ,22 mag a number of years ago but the machining on the bolt and other surfaces looked unfinished, tool marks were everywhere. The Savage I replaced it with had far better machining and cost less too.
I’m looking at Uberti and Henry as well as Rossi for a classic .22 and hope to try one soon,
Hi i bought a new 39a couple of weeks ago. pulled her down and compared to other older rifles in the club and i have to say i was impressed. the browning has a really excellent build but the 39a tops the scores more often than not. 70% of rifles in the lever action club would be Marlins.
Chris, that was a great review about a great gun that once was built here in America.
“More minor changes were made in 1921 and the gun was renamed the Model 39, even though it wasn’t 1939 yet. Go figure.”
— Maybe it was 39″ long?
I have a Marlin model 39 serial 921. What can you tell me about it.
I have a mod.39it needs a bolt,can any one help???
One of my best friends growing up had a 39 rifle and a 39 carbine. I loved that rifle. So much so that I recently tried to find one for a Christmas present for my boy. They seem to be rarer than hen’s teeth. I’m still looking but I think it’s going to be mine.
Hi,I have a marlin 39 carbine serial y17383. For sale in excellent con…they are rare…
This is great timing to find this article. We found we at I think is this very gun in a garage in a case. Serial number 59164. Any information would be so helpful. It does have a little site that swings up from the stock. My nephew thinks the extraction mechanism is missing. any exploded views of parts for this gun so we can figure it out?
Thanks in advance,
M. Brown
I have model 39 ser #105xx and I believe it was made in 1922. If your serial number is not preceded by an “s”, then it was made prior to 1926, when the “s” was added.
I got a marlin model 39 serial number S15029 it has a 20 inch octagon barrel can you tell me anything about it.The stock looks the Texas 39 but that a 24 inch round barrel . Thanks for any help.
Model 39 was made from 1922-1926 without an “s” preceding the serial number.
Since some of you are looking for information about your vintage Model 39s, here are a few of the resources I used when I researched my test model. I hope you find them useful:
I know we are talking the model 39 here, but I need to vent on Marlins recent manufacturing..I just purchased (12/24/2012) a new marlin lever gun 1895G in a 45/70 Govt. Cool gun…MANY problems right off the bat. Wouldnt even chamber a round/ eject a round/ the lever was so sharp it sliced my glove. The front hood is loose already and the rear sight is bent. WOW right out of the box. The company has some serious quality control issues. Sent it back, got it back in 1 month. Seems ok now. But come on…..
Remington now owns Marlin and they are building them cheap so that Wal-Mart can sell them cheap. I don’t know for sure but I am told that they are Manufactured over seas.
They are crap now. All that I have heard about them is bad, some won’t chamber a round are if it does, it want eject it, right out of the box.
I BOUGHT A 39A LEVER 22 SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH A SERIAL # B 3942. WHEN WOULD THIS GUN HAVE BEEN MADE AND IS IT WORTH ANYTHING.
Could you please tell me where to fine the serial number on this gun.
Sorry it is the model 39 Marlin but the sights are adjustable and have a pin hole to look through on the site closes to the lever.
Hi guys from Australia. been a bolt gun user forever but decided to have a crack at Lever rifle comps. bought a new 39a last week. Dealer advises that earlier in 2012 marlin had revisited the problems aand made them good. backed up with a 5 year warrenty. woodwork is well done and fitted.overall finish is not to bad. not in the class of browning but is physically a full size gun compared to others.I will let you know after i have run a 1000 rounds thru her.

OK, everyone, eat your heart out! I just acquired a 1922 Model 39 ser. no. 8462 !! It’s all original. Though the finish is worn and somewhat pitted and the left buckhorn tip is broke, it still shoots like a dream. The parts fit like a glove. Just don’t make em like that anymore.
I have a model 39. Serial # 7046…in beautiful shape and I am only the third owner.my friends grandfather give it to him and I rescently got it off of him.his grandfather was the original owner…can someone tell me what this guns value would be(not for sale)
Have a Marlin model 1892, a 39 and a 39a. They all shoot well, especially the 39. Love the look and the way they shoot, SWEET!
My dad gave me a new 39A in 1951. Serial number is H11724. I need a part or two and was wondering if someone could direct me towards a source. Need the following:
Front Sight Ramp Hood
Buttpad
The Finger Lever is also loose and I’m wondering if either or both it and the Finger Lever Screw are worn out.
I have a lot of memories in this rifle and would like to get it back to good, if not new condition.
Thanks
I have a Model 39, hex or octagon barrell acquired from my grandfather in 1967. He used it to kill hogs at his butcher shop and the muzzle apparently became flawed with all the moisture you would expect in a kill room. I had a local gunsmith bore and sleeve it in the ’70s. I know that probably hurt the value but I planned on shooting it, not selling it. Other wise it is in good condition with only normal wear expected over 75-80 or so years. Had to replace the part that holds the lever firm against the stock right after I got it. That’s it. I’ve shot it a lot. No H or S or HS preceeding serial # (I think a 5 digit #, I don’t have it with me now) but it shoots modern 22’s (S, L, LR) fine. My son has a 39 Golden M Mountie we got him (used) in the ’90’s. Shoots great, no problems. Marlin made a great little rifle for a bunch of years.
Kevin sounds like you have a great old piece to be proud off. I have seen one like it.
Regards Nelson .Australia
I have a model 39a it shoots great probably the most consistent of any rifle i have ever been around. The problems people were running into with the newer rifle occured after Remington acquired them. I recently bought a new marlin bolt action x7vh in .308 and have been very happy
I recently bought an x7 .308 as well. Love it. Accuracy is outstanding, at least by my standards.
I own a 39-A that was passed down from my father. The only S/N on the gun is under the lever on the tang. S/N is 480 with no letter prefix. Is there of telling when this gun was made?
I am looking at a Marlin model 39 (not 39A). The serial number is either 516923 or S16923, the first character is either an S or 5. I would like to know the age and value range of the rifle.
Thanks
My partner and i like, trigger I found just what exactly I’m having a look with regard to. You’ve concluded my own Four evening extensive seek out! Our god Cheers man. Employ a terrific working day. Bye
I have a model 39 s# S 55xx there is also a (star) by the name model 39.It has a pop up peep sight marbles gladestone mich. that works great.Iam now 72 and have the 39 for 50 years.All original and has a good butt plate in good condition.Do you have any ideal of a ballpark value?Thanks,Royal
I pulled out my Model 39 last week to admire it once again and decided to check things out like how to load it (I haven’t fired it since I got it 10 years ago). This article explained it all, thanks. I’ve also checked out the links about age of the gun, but there was nothing specific about the Model 39. Like a few others here, my serial starts with an S and is 4 digits long: 82XX, which would appear to be an early production number, but how early? Is the little star stamped in the receiver some kind of indication the gun passed some test? I think it has an aftermarket glenfield sight with knobs for elevation and windage and a “hooded” front sight. Any ideas?
Thanks.
I HAVE A MARLIN 39….HAS “S” BEFORE S/N…( MY DAD GOT IT FOR HIS 10TH BIRTHDAY,,,I GOT THIS RIFLE FOR MY 12th BIRTHDAY….”NEVER” HAD A PROBLEM…..
WITH 22 SHORT,LONG,RIFLE LONG OR THE GUN ITSELF, IT LOOKS GREAT….NO RUST….SHOOTS GREAT ,,CANT TAKE IT TO THE RANGE…FOLKS WANT TO LOOK..TOUCH…SHOOT…THIS RIFLE IS FOR MY GREAT-GRAND CHILD ..SHE,S 3YEARS OLD..
I’d love to own another 39 D. I owned one roughly 38 years ago. It was the best 22 I’ve ever owned. PERIOD! The 39 D was a carbine version of the 39A. It shot accurately and HARD. Plus, it was an absolutely gorgeous gun. Unfortunately, being young and dumb, I sold it when I got hard up for money. Now they no longer make it; and I’d LOVE to have another. Lesson learned.
In Scotland I owned a .22 Marlin lever action rifle. It had a 28″ barrel and a spring loaded sleeve over the magazine which made it look like a large calibre rifle. When I emigrated to Canada in 1955 I sold it anticipating buying a new identical model. This is to my everlasting regret because the Marlin 39 I bought although good does not have the appeal of the other. It was a marvellous rifle – I could hit anything I aimed at regardless of range. Can anybody tell me which model Marlin it was from my description here given. Thanks in anticipation. W.R. Milne, Vancouver, BC
What year(s) did Marlin produce the best Model 39’s?
1958 (-; because that’s the year I’ve got. Just bought it this week. Not a scratch on her. Can’t wait to take it out squirrel hunting.
I have a 1954 39A and it is GREAT. One thing though: I don’t find loading it a problem, even though the magazine ‘tube’ is pulled all the way out. And I use a Spee-D-Loader to make it faster.
Oh, and ‘my’ 39A is better than ‘yours’ because mine holds 19 rounds of .22lr. So there. Hah!
Just kidding.
Ed Card: look up numrich gun parts. They have a LOT of parts for old firearms.
Didn’t Anne Oakley make a name for herself using the 1891 for her trick shooting of putting something like 22 shots through the ace of hearts in 27 seconds at 25 feet? Some shooting!!!!
With my experience with my 39A I can believe it.
in all honesty, they are all great guns.
Thanks for your marvelous review of the beloved Marlin Model 39. I inherited mine from my dad in 1960. He passed it down to me on my thirteenth birthday, as he had recieved it on his thirteenth birthday in 1922 from his dad. In 1963 while firing modern ammo in it, the bolt broke. We packed up the rifle and mailed it to Marlin where it was fitted with a stronger bolt, modified to fit our gun from a then current production rifle. Marlin charged us nothing for the repair. It has been faithfully firing away ever since.
Our Model 39 is truly a family heirloom, It is fitted with a “Wee-Weaver” scope and we still have and use the special slide-in breech ejector spring protector for cleaning.
I had no idea just how accurate it was until recently when I carried it to a local indoor range where under controlled conditions, the ’39 and I produced some pretty amazing shot groups. Ninety years young and still going strong. My dad would surely be pleased, his dad would probably be stunned.
My two son’s are both grown and now the biggest question is which one of them will get to keep it most often at their house. But for now, it stands guard in my home.
John M (Atlanta, GA)
I have a model 39 marlin, round blue barrel, case hardened receiver,lever and hammer. A crescent shaped buttstock with a black plastic butt plate. The top of the tang is marked Model 39. However the barrel is marked 39A. The serial number is on the bottom of the tang and is marked HS and the serial number 1515.
The gun has a property tag on the left hand side that says MCI Norfolk. I found this to mean Massachussets Correctional Institute, in Norfolk Mass. What can you tell me about year of production etc? Thanks,,,Kelly
marlin 39 A serial number 6911668 what year would this be and aprox value fair condition
i own couple old 39a.best rifles i was ever around.love them.one of em is pre micro groove.sn. D8262.would like to know more about it.numbers on stock do not match and would like to know where i might find replacement butt stock cause it is also cracked badly.can u still find replacement iron sites fronn thst era
Howdy, quick question, have you ever had an issue with the gun not firing when pointed even slightly downward? I’ve been having this problem, and I’m not sure if the firing pin has gotten worn down or if there is a spring missing internally. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nice, aren’t they?
My, similar vintage octagonal barrel, 39 has a Marble’s tang sight installed 😀
Mine is set up as a competion rifle. ANSCHUTZ Aperture back sight, matching globe sight front.
Great article just recieved this gun for my 56 th bday.I perchased the gun in Austin I new it was rare but had no idea it was that rare.I have the same gun in a 30 30 and have shot several deer with it!You were dead on the craftsman ship is exceptional!!
Thanks Again,
Mark Lewis

has there ever been a 22 mag in a 39 a model?
My family used to own marlin. It was said when we sold it. No more birthday trips to the factory 🙁 My uncle has an a39 that I need to get away from him somehow.
I have two Marlin 39 octagon barrel . one has a sn 29xx and one is sn85xx Several people have expressed interest in buying them but I don’t know their worth. Both rifles are in beautiful condition ! One even still has the original tag telling how to take apart and put together. How can I get an estimate so I don’t get ripped off?
Hi Marilyn, Find a trustworthy gunsmith. I appraise firearms for a living and I always present the Client with current Comps that area verifiable. You should be willing to pay for the services to learn the price and are not obligated to sell to the appraiser. Also check out Gun Broker. The rifles Marlin 39 can be quite valuable. Right now they are selling for $550 to $4,799.00. Most likly you would be on the high side of that. Keep in mind though that several factors go into firearm valuation.
I have a 1891 Marlin 22 lever action with octagon barrel. Can anyone tell me where I can find a complete magazine tube with springs etc.?
Despite the fact this gun is a fine piece of art the key factor that made me go for it was great price I found, that is a great review indeed.
i just got a model 39A couple days ago, the whole butt was wrapped with electrical tape, because it was cracked. the whole gun was also painted black. at first, i thought it was a Winchester 9422, which i bought new in 1968. i sold that gun a couple of years ago, and had regretted ever since. the first thing i did was strip the paint of the whole gun. than i came across this model A number and micro groove.very hard too see because so worn. than found out on the internet that it’s a marlin. i loaded it and worked the lever, and it jammed most of the time . 🙁 but after lubing the loading port and working it a whole lot, i found that you cannot rough the loading, you have to be smooth and after some practice get the the feel of it. maybe action too old and sticky, but it fires. right now more buffing on the barrel and sanding on the wood parts. i fixed the crack on the butt with two wood screws. i’m so happy to have this very o!d gun !!! 🙂

The old adage appears to be true; good things come to those who wait. The industry-wide whispers about Crimson Trace introducing green lasers can finally be silenced because they have officially unveiled new Laserguards and ever-popular Rail Masters with green lasers for purchase this fall. Don’t confuse this advancement in laser technology with the whole Zombie craze. The human eye naturally picks up the color green more so than red, allowing more accuracy in acquiring your target so green lasers were the next logical step . . .
Historically, green lasers have taken up more space and generate more heat than their red counterparts. To remedy this, Crimson Trace put countless man-hours into perfecting their green lasers, producing what they claim is the most efficient and lightweight green frickin’ laser beam to hit the market. They outperform their competitors in battery life, temperature variation and size.
With an “over two hour” run time in both green laser platforms and the patented Instinctive Activation on the Laserguard, these are no-brainers. So for those of you who prefer a more visible green laser over the traditional red, the streamlined Laserguard will be available for Smith and Kimber 1911’s, Springfield XD & XD(M), as well as full-size & compact Gocks. And you’ll be able to slap a Rail Master on just about any gun with a Picatinny or Weaver rail.
I can’t wait to test out the green Rail Master on my HK P30. See you all at the range!
I was thinking they should call them ‘Viridian Trace” but it looks like someone beat them to it: (-:
I assume they can’t make the green laser unit compact enough to fit into a lasergrip form factor. Anyone know for sure?
As far as green laser grips from Crimson Trace hitting the market, only time will tell. I do know, however, that there were a few sample 1911 laser grips floating around their booth at NRA this past April so it seems the engineers are trying to fill that demand.
Oh, be-have.
I was thinking about getting an Eotech EOLAD green laser setups for my Sig (would also be for my SCAR once I’ve moved)… do they generally run hot/eat up battery?
Green lasers in general run hotter than red and use up battery life more quickly (I’ll save the science lesson for another day) which is one of the reasons why Crimson Trace has not rushed their product to market. Unlike most of their competitors, they have managed to produce a top-notch green laser with an over two hour ON run time. That means two hours of the laser in the on position, keeping in mind, you control when it’s on or off. They have also successfully reduced the amount of heat produced.
“allowing more accuracy ”
Uhmm, the human eye is more sensitive to the color green making it appear brighter. Unless it is a situation where the ambient light is so bright that a red laser is “washed out” accuracy is not affected.
Green lasers are usable in much higher ambient light, the real question is will it work in direct sun? or open shade?
Now waiting for green laser grips as they’re much easier to use with existing holsters.
Hi all, I’m new here, and to my 1911. I never cared for auto-loaders in anything, hunting for more than thirty years with bolt guns, single shot and single action revolvers. Although I no longer hunt, today’s excursions require a better option, so I broke habit and bought a Girsan stainless .45acp w/Picatinny rail. I’d like to reserve that for occasional small flashlight use, but have been contemplating buying the Crimson Trace grips, and now I can afford them. Oddly, I hadn’t considered which to opt for, just having a laser on an auto pistol seems enough technology leap within a year period for me. What turned me off in some of the other forums and scources I’ve read, is the smaller window of temp range. Does anyone know about cases of failure, due to temperatures? What if your gun gets left in a vehicle in hot/cold weather? I don’t know, but I’m wodering about the Crimson Trace green grips. I do expect to be able to use it in day/night, from point blank to as far as practical, but that temp has me???? I appreciate any input, and will keep searching, thanks.
I’m waiting for a laser grip sight that will fit on my American Derringer Model 4.
.
Prefer Green, but will take what I can git.

Waco, TX (September 29, 2018) – Today, many talented WWA amateur divisions hit the water in hopes of a National title behind the legendary Super Air Nautique G23 along with Pro Men and Women quarterfinal rounds. The exciting backdrop of downtown Waco created a top-of-the-line atmosphere, making way for flawless performances. The crowds enjoyed the show put on by the nation’s top wakesurf competitors while raising awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association at the Waco Oktoberfest a few steps down from the competition site. The evening Nautique Beach Party at BSR provided the opportunity for everyone to kick-back and enjoy each other’s company in a family-friendly atmosphere.
A high-energy Men’s semifinal round jump started the day with Shane Blanton (WI) earning a top score of 93.00, going big with an Alley Oop and a big spin. Austin Madry (TX) kept up the pace taking second place scoring 66.67 and keeping it technical with every trick, followed by Mitchell Inloes (FL) in third with 48.33.
The Girls final saw Canyon Slayden (TX) take the National title charging the beautiful wave behind the award-winning Super Air Nautique G23 with several ollies for a final score of 91.67. Stella Tracy (OK) came out in second with consistent carves and floaters for a score of 75.00.
“It’s so exciting to have the Nautique USA National Wakesurf Championships come to Texas and to also take the National title has made this the best weekend ever! I loved having my brother compete and it made it really fun to have my whole family cheering us on today,” said Girls National Champion Canyon Slayden.
Reed Cole-Tucker (NH) ripped his way to a National title in the Boys final with a massive indy F/S air to earn him a score of 88.00. Cross Slayden (TX) followed closely behind in second riding switch and throwing several ollies for a final score of 74.33, alongside Mason Butler (AR) in third with 65.00.
The Men’s Beginner finals kept the momentum going with division winner Walter Grassman (FL) displaying a versatile run with both F/S and B/S surfing for a winning score of 78.33 to secure his National title. Jr. Dishman (FL) came in second with some of his cleanest carves of the weekend to score 70.00, followed by Alex Salamacha (TX) with a final score of 61.67.
The Pro Women’s quarterfinals saw some all-time competition runs with Nautique athlete, Jodi Grassman (FL) taking the heat one win with an air B/S 360 and B/S big spin scoring 90.00. Jordan Wolfe (GA) came in second with 81.67, followed by Brianna Bostow (FL) in third with 61.67. Raya Walker (TN) had an amazing run, earning her a heat two win scoring 71.67 showing versatility on both skim and surf style boards. Madi Horta (CA) gave it her all with a switch Alley Oop for a second place score of 66.00, followed closely behind by Ashley Kidd(TX) in third scoring 64.83.
“I was super pumped about my run today, everything really came together for me out on the water and taking the heat win was an extra bonus. The crowds today were the best I’ve seen at competition in a while and all the bridges made for a super cool back drop as well,” commented Pro Women’s heat winner Raya Walker. “I’m stoked to see how the rest of the girls perform tomorrow!”
The Pro Men’s quarterfinals topped off the day with John Akerman (FL) taking heat one, scoring 93.00 with a big 360 shuv transfer and a Madonna. In second place, the multi-talented Aaron Witherell (WA) threw a switch B/S air reverse with a score of 86.67, followed by Drew Drennan (TX) in third with 70.00. Jacob Caster (MA) took the heat two win after throwing a huge 540 big spin and an air 360 scoring 85.67, followed by Connor Burns (AZ) in second with a score of 77.67 and Jake Breedlove (TX) in third with 63.33. Taking heat three was Parker Payne (TX) who put down a 540 B/S big spin and a switch 360 big spin in his run scoring 87.00, just ahead of Keenan Flegel (FL) in second with 84.00 throwing his signature judo air. Drew Danielo advancing to Sunday’s semifinals took third with a final score of 73.67.

It’s seriously exciting to see young up-and-comers find their unique voice, break into the music industry and continue to slay the game and that is what the nineteen-year-old singer/songwriter from New York – Sarah Gargano – is doing. I cannot stop raving about how adorable Sarah is and how her talent of storytelling in her music can resonate with such a wide audience. I got to chat with Sarah about her passion for music, her new single “Deadline” and what fans can expect to hear in her anticipated new music.
TYF: For our readers who aren’t too familiar with your music, how would you describe your sound?
Sarah Gargano: As I draw inspiration from multiple genres, I would categorize my music as indie-pop. My sound tends to be cutesy while also grappling with deeper issues.
TYF: I read that you’re from New York City. Has how living in New York inspired your music?
Gargano: I think growing up in New York has given me a sense of cultural awareness and perspective that my friends who’ve grown up in homogenous suburban towns don’t have. I think this perspective is something I carry with me everywhere, whether it be in my music or other places. My specific experience of being part of the NY private school system for ten years and then the public school system for three (two completely separate worlds) has largely shaped the stories I tell in my music. And now I’m in college in the middle of nowhere Ohio, which is its own beast.
TYF: Speaking on experiences, what sort of challenges have you faced so far as you enter the music industry as a new artist?
Gargano: If you want people to listen to your music, you have to really put yourself out there on social media, in person, etc. As more of an introvert, that’s not always the easiest feat for me – especially in a world where it’s frowned upon to be an ambitious woman.
TYF: What made you want to get into music?
Gargano: I always loved music but I think I started feeling indebted to it in seventh grade when I was getting bullied a lot and became depressed. Music became my saving grace; it was what kept me going, specifically, Taylor Swift and her music at the time. I knew I had to try making music in the hopes of saving someone else, the way music saved me.
TYF: If you could collaborate with anyone in the music industry, who would it be and why?
Gargano: Oh wow, this is a hard one – so many people. I’d definitely love to see where working with the renowned Max Martin would take my music. I’d also love to work with artists like Bon Iver and Ed Sheeran as I’ve always been mesmerized by the way the sound of their music makes me feel, but don’t feel I have enough technical music background at the moment to create on my own.
TYF: With that said, who inspires you when it comes to writing music?
Gargano: I’ve always listened most to lyrically focused music. I love cutesy/sassy female artists who write about common female experiences in eye-opening ways – along with Taylor Swift, this includes artists like Kate Nash, Kacey Musgraves, Ingrid Michaelson, Lucy Dacus, Dar Williams, and much more. I also love angsty indie groups – my favorite artist is Conor Oberst (also known for his band Bright Eyes) and other indie music that has inspired me includes the Front Bottoms, the Head and the Heart, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s, Mumford and Sons, and Crywank.
TYF: Do you ever experience writer’s block when you’re writing new music? If so, how do you overcome it?
Gargano: I experience writer’s block all of the time. It’s super frustrating, but I see it as a period of time in which my subconscious is still in the process of working through things I’ve experienced. It’s sort of a mysterious but vital process to go through. Something that’s helped me overcome it is free-writing — I love going to cafes or wherever and not putting my pen down even when I don’t feel I have anything interesting to say – eventually, something of substance will probably come out.
TYF: Can you describe your writing process?
Gargano: My writing process is different for each song. Most often, I come up with the lyrics and tune at the same time. Sometimes I think of a short tune or lyric and record it or write it down and use it that day or years later. For example, “Paper Girl,” the title song of my EP is a song title idea I wrote down in 10th grade after reading the book Paper Towns by John Green, but I didn’t turn it into a song until my first year of college.
TYF: Speaking of your writing process, you recently released your single “Deadline” – what is the story behind the track?
Gargano: “Deadline” is a song I wrote about saying goodbye to the person I was dating due to heading off to college – it was one of those songs that sort of wrote itself because there was such a rich storyline.
TYF: What was filming the video for “Deadline” like?
Gargano: My lyric video took me about six hours to make as I’ve never done stop-motion before and I made the video all by myself – it was just a bunch of taking pictures in the same spot for hours. My lip sync video took a few months to make as I let people independently send me their videos in their own time – but so rewarding to watch friends and fans get excited about my music!
TYF: Will you be releasing more new music soon? If so, can we get a hint as to what the new music will be about and what the sound will be?
Gargano: There are four more songs on their way from my EP. I’m currently in the process of filming a music video for “Paper Girl” with two cinema studies major friends in college, so when that’s finished, that song will be the next to be released. “Paper Girl” is an upbeat ukulele song about hookup culture and how it perpetuates the idea that bad communication is okay, so I hope the song incites conversation. The other three songs will come out shortly after, hopefully by the end of 2017, but possibly early 2018 – stay tuned!
TYF: Will you be playing some shows soon? If so, where can our readers catch your shows?
Gargano: I just played a show in Westlake, Ohio and am in the process of scheduling shows in New York (and hopefully a couple other cities) for December and January when I’m on winter break from school.
TYF: With the talk of upcoming new music and shows, where can our readers find your music and stay up-to-date?
Gargano: “Deadline” is now available on all streaming services. You can also follow me on Spotify, follow me on Instagram, like my Facebook page, or visit my website for more information.

Visiting Detroit for the weekend? Spend your time here like a local -- which means digging a little deeper into each corner of the Motor City. Every neighborhood offers a unique experience, packed with sightseeing opportunities, historic allure, and, of course, great eats. Whether you’re looking for an active weekend or just some serious R&R, check out one of these five Detroit neighborhoods for a getaway that fits your style.
WEST VILLAGE
This eastside neighborhood is perfect for visitors looking to feel “at home.” Part of the Villages, which is actually six small neighborhoods consisting of picturesque historic homes, West Village is particularly unique for its mixed-use development, including restaurants and boutique shopping.
Stay: Because of the residential nature of this area, most lodging options here are via Airbnb. However, these aren’t your average rentals. Potential options to spend the night include this zany private room, located inside a former window dresser’s historic town home. If you’re looking for more privacy, opt for this private apartment in a beautifully restored 1905 home. Formerly the servant’s quarters, the quirky, third-floor space comes stocked with snacks, Faygo (Detroit’s favorite pop -- don’t say soda), and even a Nintendo 64.
Breakfast/Lunch: Despite its small size, West Village has plenty of dining options inside the neighborhood, or just a short walk or bike ride away. For breakfast, grab quick bites and small-batch roasted coffee at The Red Hook, or a slice of pie (or a super-filling Sister Salad) at Sister Pie. Really hungry? Find homestyle, comforting favorites at Rose’s Fine Food in neighboring Indian Village. The “finer diner” offers locally-sourced breakfast and lunch options like buckwheat pancakes and hefty sandwiches on house-made bread.
Do: Explore local icon Pewabic Pottery in Indian Village. Since 1903, the studio and its artisans have produced handmade clay pottery and ceramic art, earning a National Historic Landmark designation in 1991. Groups of 10 or more can schedule hands-on and guided tours, but visitors can stop by any day of the week, free of charge. For even more historic charm, simply grab a bike (MoGo rentals are available on Agnes Street) and take a ride through the neighborhood to see homes designed by renowned architects like Albert Kahn, William Buck Stratton, and Louis Kamper. Want to enjoy the great outdoors? Belle Isle is only three miles away, prime for hiking, biking, and kayaking.
Dinner/Drinks: After a long day of exploring the neighborhood, swing into Craft Work for dinner and drinks. The neighborhood restaurant and bar features upscale American fare like steaks, craft cocktails, and a raw bar. For vegan-friendly fare, enjoy a meal at Detroit Vegan Soul with plant-based favorites like “catfish” tofu, mac & cheese, and seitan pepper steak. Snack on small bites and sip a nightcap inside Brix, a wine bar nestled inside a cozy, renovated bank, and if you’re visiting during the summer, be sure to check out The Villages Bier & Weingarten, which is dog and kid-friendly.
CORKTOWN
As the oldest neighborhood in Detroit, Corktown’s cobblestone streets, historic homes, and sightseeing opportunities make it a perfect getaway, especially for those coming to the city for a game or an event. Located just outside of downtown, many pubs and bars in the area offer free shuttles during the weekends to major venues including Little Caesars Arena, Ford Field, and Comerica Park.
Stay: Sleep in style at Trumbull and Porter. The newly renovated boutique hotel features 144 guest rooms appointed with furniture made by Michigan artists, an outdoor courtyard, and in-hotel dining at Red Dunn Kitchen. Or, for a more private experience, opt for Honor & Folly. Located above Slows Bar B Q in the heart of Corktown, this gorgeous two-bedroom guest house includes space for the whole family and a fully-stocked kitchen (should you be able to resist the smell of smoked meats coming from downstairs).
Breakfast/Lunch: Corktown is basically a brunch oasis, with no shortage of options. Neighborhood newcomer FOLK is an artisanal cafe featuring seasonal and from-scratch options, including wholesome savory bowls, loaded toasts, and mains like Belgian waffles and meat pie. Or, visit Bobcat Bonnie’s, located right off of Michigan Avenue, for build-your-own mimosas and Bloody Marys. For quick eats or a pick-me-up, check out Astro Coffee or Detroit Institute of Bagels.
Do: From morning until night, it’s easy to spend the weekend in Corktown. Start with some shopping at quirky stores such as Eldorado General Store, Hello Records, and Mama Coo’s Boutique for vintage finds. Then, catch a midday amateur baseball game at The Corner Ballpark at the old Tiger Stadium site. In the evenings, enjoy live bands at PJ’s Lager House and McShane’s Irish Pub (which also features Irish music on the 17th of every month).
Dinner/Drinks: For a truly memorable meal, visit Lady of the House. The restaurant headed by Chef Kate Williams has earned national accolades (including a 2018 James Beard nomination) for its homestyle, Irish-inspired cuisine. Local favorite Gold Cash Gold offers an elevated twist on comforting classics, serving sustainably-sourced, Southern-inspired fare (pickle-brined half chicken, pea & carrot gemelli) and craft cocktails inside an old pawn shop. As for drinks, stop by Two James, the first distillery in the city since Prohibition, or visit Sugar House for a seemingly endless menu of classic cocktails and seasonal creations.
EASTERN MARKET
While known for its Saturday farmers market, Detroit’s historic Eastern Market is an unlikely, but excellent choice for those looking to get away for the weekend. The neighborhood features a bustling art scene, top-notch dining & drinking options, and of course, plentiful local shopping.
Stay: One of the best things about staying in Eastern Market is the number of massive loft rentals available in the heart of the district -- and many of the luxury rentals include room for larger groups. If you’re looking for a full house, opt for 2126 Pierce. Located right on the edge of Eastern Market, the micro bed and breakfast (about 900 square feet) is situated in a beautifully reclaimed home with a brightly-colored mural exterior.
Breakfast/Lunch: Kick off your morning at Farmer’s Restaurant, a simple, no-frills diner known for its mammoth (and affordable) breakfasts, with offerings like loaded omelettes and corned beef hash. For an eclectic option, dine at the cafe at performance space Trinosophes, which features a menu of whole-food, locally-sourced items (egg plates, breakfast sandwiches) as well as vegan-friendly fare. In the afternoon, pay a visit to Vivio’s, a family-owned bar and restaurant with an award-winning Bloody Mary. And don’t forget to stop into Germack Coffee Roasting Co. to grab a latte from their espresso bar and to stock up on all-day snacking essentials like nuts, candies, and dried fruit.
Do: Explore the market, of course! On weekends, Eastern Market is bustling with vendors (starting at 6am Saturdays, and 10am Sundays during the summer) as well as a variety of brick-and-mortar stores, including Market Antiques, Detroit vs. Everybody, Rocky’s, Detroit Mercantile Co., and Henry the Hatter. Make sure to take time to enjoy some local art -- there are more than 40 murals scattered throughout the market as well as galleries, including Wasserman Projects and Red Bull House of Art (reopening with a new exhibit later this summer). In the evening, enjoy live music from well-known jazz and blues performers at Bert’s Market Place.
Dinner/Drinks: While it’s not Detroit-style, some of the best pizza in the city can be found at the upscale Supino Pizzeria, serving flavorful thin-crust pies alongside a robust wine menu. Dine at Gather for seasonal fare from a rotating menu of locally-sourced (including from market vendors) American cuisine and craft cocktails in an intimate, communal setting. Old-school Italian eats can be found at Amore da Roma (formally the Roma Cafe). Originally opened in 1890, the restaurant was renovated last year and re-opened under the new name, but continues to offer favorites like its famous spaghetti and house-made fettuccine alfredo. For drinks, sample the local spirits and brews at Detroit City Distillery and Eastern Market Brewing Co.
MIDTOWN
Home to Wayne State University and the College for Creative Studies, Midtown is possibly the most walkable neighborhood in Detroit, densely packed with cafes, restaurants, and shops, as well as cultural attractions like world-class museums and art galleries. Only a short Q Line ride from downtown, the neighborhood is also perfectly situated for visitors without a car.
Stay: The Inn on Ferry Street is easily one of the most beautiful hotels in the city. Made up of four restored Victorian homes and two carriage houses, the inn’s luxury rooms and suites feature oversized tubs, (non-working) fireplaces, and stately furnishings. Or stay at the sustainable and stylish El Moore Lodge, whose suites and rooftop cabins feature reclaimed & reused elements, geothermal heating & cooling, and solar panel energy.
Breakfast/Lunch: For an elegant affair, check out The Whitney; the gorgeously restored historic mansion offers a three-course brunch on weekends. If you’re feeling more casual, dine at Le Petit Zinc, a French-inspired cafe serving crepes, quiches, and pastries. Grab-and-go-bites and coffee are also available at one of the area’s many cafes, including Avalon International Breads and Great Lakes Coffee Roasting Co.
Do: You could easily spend an entire weekend just exploring this area’s cultural attractions, including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, the Detroit Historical Society, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. For live music, head to the Magic Stick for local and national indie acts, or check out the big names playing the Majestic Theater. Both venues are housed in the same building, which also includes a bowling alley, bar, and pizza parlor. Or for some serious relaxation, soak and steam at the Schvitz, a historic Russian bathhouse.
Eat/Drink: You’ll definitely want to grab dinner at Selden Standard, an upscale option for New American small plates. Or, opt for newcomer Grey Ghost, serving a protein-forward menu of cured, raw, and cooked meats and seafood. On the opposite end of the spectrum, vegans and vegetarians can find plenty of options at Seva, including entrees like fettuccine al pesto and pad Thai. For drinks, there is no shortage of local dive bars: Stop in to Bronx Bar, Jumbos, or The Old Miami for cheap drinks and great conversation.
DOWNTOWN
While not a “neighborhood,” per se, downtown Detroit offers the most variety in boutique hotels, award-winning restaurants, and things to do. For those truly wanting to be in the thick of things, staying in the heart of the city is a no-brainer.
Stay: Ditch the chain hotels and instead opt for an independent luxury choice like the Detroit Foundation Hotel. Situated inside the former Detroit Fire Department headquarters, the lodging is pet-friendly and offers amenities such as complimentary Detroit Bikes rentals, in-room bars stocked with local Bon Bon Bon chocolates & the Detroit expression of Our/Vodka, and on-site dining at the Apparatus Room. New to the city is the The Siren, located in the historic Wurlitzer Building, which also houses Populace Coffee, Candy Bar cocktail lounge, and the forthcoming eight-seat Albena featuring a tasting menu created by James Beard-nominated chef Garrett Lipa.
Breakfast/Lunch: Start your day at the Hudson Cafe, a popular breakfast and lunch destination known for its twists on brunch classics like fried catfish & waffles and graham cracker-crusted French toast. Or, dine at Dime Store, serving elevated breakfast favorites like pork belly eggs Benedict and duck leg hash. For lunch, visit Avalon Cafe and Bakery, the massive new downtown outpost of the well-known Midtown bakery, which opened last year complete with a full kitchen offering soups, sandwiches, and pastries.
Do: Make time to visit the Detroit Riverfront to enjoy breathtaking views of the river and Windsor’s skyline as you walk along the 3.5-mile RiverWalk past outdoor pavilions, parks, and green spaces. Throughout downtown, search out iconic pieces of outdoor art, including the Monument to Joe Louis (better known as “The Fist”), the Spirit of Detroit, and Shepard Fairey's 184-foot-tall mural at the north end of Campus Martius. While you’re there, be sure to stop by the park, which offers free programming like art shows, movie screenings, live music, and more throughout the year.
Eat/Drink: New American restaurant Parc is one of the hottest new additions to downtown, winning multiple awards in the last year for its contemporary and eclectic cuisine, highlighted by menu items like whole grilled trout, salmon tartare, and dry-aged steaks. Another upscale option is Townhouse, offering elevated American comfort food and a “libation library” -- their whopping 39-page drinks menu -- served in an all-glass atrium dining room. For more casual fare, check out Grand Trunk Pub situated inside a historic railway station and serving classic grub such as corned beef sandwiches, shepherd's pie, and burgers. When it comes to drinks (and nightlife) there is no shortage of options downtown: Try local favorites The Skip for frozen concoctions like a French 75 slushie and Bad Luck for over-the-top craft cocktails like The Admiral -- a $200 pour of 1953 British Royal Navy rum (alcohol content: 54.5%). Of course, more “affordable” options, like one garnished with edible gold for $45, are also available.

Browse these private bartenders with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Simi Valley.
I went to a birthday party over the weekend and Party Link Staffing was working. The bartenders were very nice and helpful plus they made the best drinks. I am hiring them for my husband's birthday party next month!
How do we compare Mia to other Bartenders and service personnel we have hired? Mia is like a Mercedes Benz SL600. She's fast, smooth and her personality comes across as beautiful music playing on the stereo. She's as warm as the heated seats and pays attention to detail like everything engineered in this car! Once you invite her in, you don't want her to leave, nor does anyone else. Our point is: you get what you pay for! She is six stars. We will continue to have her back for now on for every event we hold.! success!
Seriously! The most sweetest, professional bartender! Arrived on time, prepared her station and provided the best customer service to all my guest! Amazing work! Completely impressed!!!
Best bartender we've ever had! Worked so hard and guests said he was so pleasant and responsive.
We hired Audra to bartend our New Year's Eve party and she was one of the best bartenders I have ever hired! She was professional, punctual and made the best drinks. Audra was also very nice and easy to work with. She was able to accommodate all of our guests and made our party so fun! She even helped pick up after dinner. Hands down I would recommended Audra and will use her again for future events! Thanks again Audra!! You were amazing!!!
I will use Method Event Productions for future events in a heartbeat. They were punctual (early, actually, which was even better) and complete team players who were willing to help with serving food, bussing tables, and helping clean up after the event. Thanks to them, our event ran smoothly and beautifully!
5 stars are not enough for EV and Geogie! They are very professional cute and made a success from my husband 50th Surprise Birthday Party!I I will recommend them to everyone who wants to hire bartenders! Cecilia
Barspirit's bartenders were fabulous! We found Barspirit on Yelp with fantastic reviews so we contacted them and got a response within minutes (while still contacting others who took much longer). So we decided to move forward after getting a quote and everything was really pleasant. The contact with Joshua, the owner, and Peter, the manager, before our wedding was very straightforward and they explained their process in detail all the time so we knew exactly where we were standing. They helped us create a really neat bar menu with some twists on classic drinks and they sent us a copy of their insurance for our venue. Overall, the booking procedure was very straightforward and transparent. On the day of the wedding, as you can expect, it was very busy so we didn't have much time to think about anything. We didn't even hear the bartenders coming in or setting up. They were just there all of a sudden, ready to go, which I thought was great! They checked in with our coordinator to make sure everything is in place and started serving right away (because some people decided to show up early). The drinks were delicious and the bartenders were fantastic! I'm glad I booked Barspirit because you never know what you will get, otherwise. With that being said, I am happy to write this review so YOU can make the right decision!
David was great. Here are more details on how he handled everything. 1) He provided a list of items to be purchased for the event. 2) Provided his suggestions in finalizing the cocktail list. 3) very responsive on messaging. 4) He was polite with everyone. 5) Professional bartender. 6) helped clean up small plates and trash on the tables, which normally no one does. 7) stayed/extended as long as i requested. 8) Very economically priced..
Jerremi and his team were fantastic! They were the kind of team that you didn't notice much because they worked so seamlessly during the event. Before the event, Jerremi was always punctual in replying to emails, always available for a phone call, and willing to help in any way he could. He even threw in complimentary bitters for our signature cocktail. The additional servers/helpers we hired to assist with appetizers and dessert were so sweet and were even excited for us getting married! I would 100% recommend these professionals for any event, big or small.

Injured on the Job in a Trucking Accident?
Work with Attorney Grabe to File Your Claim
If you were injured during the course of work as a truck driver, you may have a workers' compensation claim. You may also have an additional claim, or a third-party claim, if your injury was the result of another's recklessness or negligence. You would file a workers' compensation claim with your employer, but a third party claim would be filed against the person or entity that caused it.
Examples of cases involving third-party claims for injured truck drivers:
- You were driving a truck that had defective vehicle parts, causing an accident
- You are a truck driver who was hit by another commercial truck
- You were delivering something and were injured on someone else's property due to a dangerous condition
With the experienced services offered by the Portland personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Timothy Grabe, you can get the quality service you need for a third party claim. Insurance companies representing the other party may not adequately compensate you. Our firm has more than three decades of experience in helping those injured on the job receive the financial recovery deserved in order to get the best outcome for your injury. Whether you suffered brain damage, a spinal injury, or some other form of physical harm, talk to our legal team to learn more about your options.
Schedule your free case evaluation today.
You don't pay unless our firm wins on your behalf!
Get the Help You Need from Our Portland Truck Accident Attorney
A truck driver could be injured in a variety of ways. For example, another driver may be completely at fault for the accident, perhaps by running a red light and colliding with your truck. Or a car impacts your truck while it is stopped overnight, causing injury to you in some way. Additionally, a defective truck part could cause injury, making the manufacturer a possible responsible party. Regardless of the circumstances, you should get the assistance of a dedicated and knowledgeable Portland truck accident lawyer.
If your accident occurred on the job, you may file a workers' compensation claim and a third party claim against the other driver for your injuries. Our firm knows how to aggressively pursue a claim where you were injured on the job by someone other than your employer. You can be facing medical treatment, lost wages, and more.
Call our firm at (503) 825-2115 to learn how we can help you.

Stones shows pure class
At just 21, centre back is set to be one of Everton's biggest stars
A Rolls Royce of a defender.
The Everton centre back John Stones received a compliment of the highest order from former Premiership stars Alan Smith and Niall Quinn, even after the 21-year-old spent just 45 minutes on the pitch.
Stones was one of the few bright sparks in a dour clash between Everton and Stoke in the Barclays Asia Trophy opener at the National Stadium yesterday.
There were no goals in the 90 minutes, and Everton progressed to Saturday's final after winning 5-4 on penalties, when Stoke's new signing Marco van Ginkel missed his kick.
They will meet Arsenal, who staged a late charge to down a Singapore Selection team 4-0 in yesterday's other game.
The New Paper spoke to former Ireland and Sunderland striker Quinn, one of the tournament's co-commentators for Sky Sports, and his assessment of Stones was glowing.
STRONG
"He's a real Rolls Royce centre half. He can play on the ball, he's strong and quick. The key now is for him and (Phil) Jagielka to form a strong partnership in the Everton back four," he said.
"He's got a bright future and you can see that because he's already a leader on the pitch."
Quinn's view was shared by former Gunner Alan Smith - also on the Sky team - who singled out Stones for his reading of the game.
Stones, capped four times by England already, played only the second half, as Everton boss Roberto Martinez opted for youngster Tyias Browning to partner Jagielka in central defence at the start.
The England Under-21 star was a big reason why the Toffees nullified the threat of Stoke strikers Peter Odemwingie and the towering Peter Crouch in the second period.
When it looked like Stoke would finally break the deadlock in the 70th minute, when van Ginkel broke clear down the inside-left channel, Stones intervened with a brilliant block.
Even during the penalty shoot-out, the Barnsley youth product personified calm and style, as he sent Stoke goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard the wrong way, stroking his effort into the bottom corner.
"We all know what a special player he is. He's a top defender even at 21," said Martinez after the match.
"He formed a good relationship with Phil last season, and we're counting on them to get even better as a partnership this year.
"What everyone likes about him is what an all-rounder he is. He is a thinking defender, but also with a lot of strength and pace.
"He was very good for England during the (European) Under-21 Championship (last month). So he is going from strength to strength."
The Spaniard is pleased with how his side are shaping up for the new Premier League season, beginning on Aug 8.
Everton looked the slightly better side against Stoke, and might have won the game in regulation if not for Haugaard, who denied Toffees striker Romelo Lukaku on two one-on-one occasions.
"You can see signs that all the volume we have been putting in throughout pre-season already is showing," said Martinez.
"We are missing a little bit of sharpness, finding the final pass or in front of goal.
"But the hardest thing in football is to create chances and so what was very good was to see the clear-cut chances that we created."

Kuchar leads by one shot
Matt Kuchar fired a seven-under 64 at TPC Scottsdale for a one-shot first-round lead over defending champion Hideki Matsuyama and Brendan Steele at the Phoenix Open yesterday morning (Singapore time).
South Korea's An Byeong Hun was among a group of five players tied for fourth on five-under 66, along with Americans John Peterson, Robert Garrigus, Scott Brown and Chris Kirk.
Rickie Fowler returned a 67, while fan favourite Phil Mickelson shot a 68. - AFP
