New Finnish Designs in Aalto's House, on Nowness.com
by Monica Khemsurov
On occasion, the editors of Sight Unseen spot a story about creativity told from a viewpoint that's not unlike our own. This one, posted today on the LVMH-owned multimedia style blog Nowness, celebrates the opening of Helsinki Design Week — and the year of design events taking place in the Nordic capital in 2012 — with a photo essay featuring contemporary furniture and lighting by eight established and up-and-coming Finnish designers, shot inside Alvar Aalto's house. Located in the Munkkiniemi neighborhood of Helsinki, the meticulously preserved home provides the perfect backdrop for work created by a generation of designers who, living in such a tiny country, must all inevitably feel the influence of Aalto's outsized legacy — visually speaking, the project also reminded us of our favorite installation at the 2010 Milan Furniture Fair, when contemporary furniture was inserted into the hallowed rooms of Piero Portaluppi's Villa Necchi Campiglio. The Nowness story was beautifully shot by the young French photographer Estelle Hanania, and we've excerpted half of those images here; to see the full slideshow featuring all ten designs, follow the link at the bottom of this article to the original piece on Nowness.

Photos by Estelle Hanania
With Helsinki's inauguration as the World Design Capital next year and Helsinki Design Week beginning today, NOWNESS invited Finland's top contemporary design talents to showcase their work in the home of the country's greatest and most celebrated aesthete: Alvar Aalto. Preserved as an atmospheric museum, the Alvar Aalto house, which was the architect's domicile and studio from 1936 until his death, is an intimate memorial to the modernist master. The clean lines, functionality, and unpretentious nature of classic Finnish design pioneered by Aalto, Ilmari Tapiovaara, and Kaj Franck still permeates much of the work by the discipline's current stars. Here we select our top Finnish designers for further scrutiny.
Ilkka Suppanen — "Kaasa" lantern (pictured at top)
Suppanen first made his name with the Snowcrash collective in the 90s, and these days is an established figure in Finland, producing items like "Kaasa," the soon-to-be-launched lantern inspired by the beacons once used by Finnish fishermen.
Harri Koskinen — "Remain in Light"
Helsinki's very own superstar, Koskinen's fresh, functional works are lauded at home and abroad. His collection, Hari Koskinen Works, is made up of simple, desirable products.
Jussi Takkinen — "Osio" wall clock
Takkinen is a young talent whose pleasing contemporary style offers fuss-free, elegance with a graphic edge. The "Untitled" folding chair is a triumph in practicality, while his ceramic Osio Wall Clock is clever and commercial (in a good way).
Hannu Kähönen — "Kapeneva" bench
The industrial designer's multidisciplinary studio, Creadesign, outputs everything from product and service design to consultation and design research. His "Kapeneva" modular benches demonstrate the basic tenets of the Finnish outlook in their "essential, natural, practical" style.
Klaus Haapaniemi — "Rabbit Throw"
Haapaniemi's fantastical illustrations have adorned everything from ceramics to cookies, but for his first signature collection, produced in collaboration with Mia Wallenius, he chose traditionally weaved textiles as a platform.
Marko Nenonen — "Lounge Chair"
A little more playful than that of his peers, Nenonen is against "anonymous" design and has a varied collection of works that explores different materials and forms.

To Live in a Schindler House, by Pin-Up Editor Felix Burrichter
In March, Pin-Up magazine editor Felix Burrichter packed his bags and left New York for an extended stay in Los Angeles, where he met up with the Vienna artist Sarah Ortmeyer. Chosen for one of four annual residencies with Vienna's Museum for Applied Arts (MAK) — whose L.A. branch is based in architect Rudolph Schindler's 1922 Kings Road House — the pair have spent the intervening months shacked up in a two-bedroom apartment at the museum's Mackey building, working on a joint project they'll present on September 10. Called "XXX BURRICHTER ORTMEYER," its main element is a publication focused on the mercurial relationship between Schindler and his wife; Burrichter has also taken advantage of the proximity to give the fall issue of Pin-Up an L.A. theme. Architecture buff that he is, we got to wondering how else he'd been inspired by his surroundings, so we invited him to share with us the experience of living in the recently renovated Mackey building, whose five apartments Schindler built in his trademark style in 1939. "It's like living in a little museum," he says. "At first we were like, this is crazy, but it's really the perfect apartment, even though it's so basic. We've been here for four and a half months now, and the longer we stay, the more we realize how well thought-out it is."
Your Favorite Mid-Century Furniture Designers, At Home
It's possible you've spent hours foraging flea markets, wondering how a Russel Wright pitcher or an Eames shell chair or a Jens Risom credenza might fit into your home décor. But did you ever stop to wonder how those pieces may have figured into the homes of their own makers? Leslie Williamson, a San Francisco–based photographer, did — and the result is Handcrafted Modern, a new book that offers an intimate glimpse inside the houses of 14 of America's most beloved mid-century designers.
Jonah Takagi, furniture designer
Jonah Takagi claims he has ADD, and he may be right. Since graduating from RISD in 2002, the Japanese-born, New England–bred, Washington D.C.–based designer has worked as a cabinetmaker, a full-time musician, a set builder for National Geographic docudramas, and a producer for an indie-rock kids' show called Pancake Mountain. In the weeks leading up to this story, we talked about skinned cats, prosthetic kidneys, and smoking pot out of an art-school professor's peg leg. But Takagi's work is anything but schizophrenic.

Port Melbourne senior coach Gary Ayres gives his thoughts on the club's upcoming Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL season.
* CLICK HERE for information on purchasing a 2019 membership for Port Melbourne and other VFL clubs.
Ben Jolley running out for the Borough….we never thought we'd see the day, but we're happy to be proven wrong! 😅 ❤💙#BornAndBred📸: Tony Cannatelli.
"In the last 18 months we've had a lot of experience leave the club. After the 2017 premiership some absolute champs in Toby Pinwill, Chris Cain, Sam Dwyer and Hugh Sandilands moved on, and then Robin Nahas, Lucas Cook, Luke Tynan, Josh Tynan and Damian Mascitti left at the end of 2018. We went hard over this off-season to try and replace that experience and I'd like to think the depth we now have in our midfield will be a strength.

Abbey of St. Victor, Paris
St. Victor's in 1572
The Abbey of St. Victor, Paris, also known as Royal Abbey and School of St. Victor, was an abbey near Paris, France. Its origins are connected to the decision of William of Champeaux, the Archdeacon of Paris, to retire to a small hermitage near Paris in 1108. He took on the life, vocation and observances of the Canons Regular, and his new community followed the Augustinian Rule.
William was famed for his teaching, and was followed to his hermitage by many of his disciples, including Peter Abelard, and was convinced by them to take up his lecturing again. William was made Bishop of Châlons-sur-Marne in 1113, and was succeeded in his hermitage at St. Victor's by Gilduin, who promoted the canonical order and its new abbey vigorously.
Through generous gifts from popes, kings, queens, and nobles, the Abbey of St. Victor was soon richly endowed. Many houses of canons regular came under its influence and were reformed through its leadership, including the Abbey of Ste Geneviève (Paris), Wigmore Abbey in Wales, St. Augustine's (Bristol), St. Catherine's (Waterford), St. Thomas's (Dublin), and San Pietro ad Aram (Naples).[1] King Louis VIII mentioned no less than forty abbeys of the Order of St. Victor in his last will and testament, and he left 4,000 pounds to be equally divided among them, and all his jewels for the building of the abbey church in Paris. Before the abbey was 160 years old, several cardinals and at least eight significant abbots had been produced from among its members.
Abbey of St. Victor, 1655
The traditions of William of Champeaux were handed on, and the abbey became a center of piety and learning, attracting famous students, scholars and intellectuals including Hugh of St. Victor, Peter Lombard and Thomas Becket. In fact, the school of Saint Victor, with the schools of Ste Geneviève and Notre-Dame de Paris, was the cradle of the University of Paris.
It was around 1108 that William of Champeaux retired from teaching with a few disciples in a hermitage (or cella) abandoned near a chapel dedicated to St. Victor, at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève (the abbey remained outside the walls of the enclosure built by Philip Augustus at the end of the twelfth century).
In 1113, when William was elected Bishop of Chalons-sur-Marne, Louis VI transformed the small retreat into an abbey that was richly endowed the following year. The Pope dedicated the foundation.
The successor of William was the prior Gilduin, dearest disciple of William and confessor of the king. Born in Paris, he is the abbot of 1113-1155. It's most probably during his abbacy, that the customs of St. Victor were composed in the Liber Ordinis Sancti Victoris, following a rigorous asceticism, where silence and manual labor prevailed.[2]
In 1148, the abbey acquired the college of Sainte-Geneviève.
The abbey later fell on hard times, being identified in the 17th and early 18th centuries with the Jansenist movement. It was dissolved and destroyed during the French Revolution.
The site of the former abbey is now largely occupied by Paris VI and VII Universities and by the Muséum and Jardin des Plantes. The name survives in a neighbouring street.
Makeup of the Congregation
The Victorines are one of the most illustrious of the twelfth-century congregations in terms of cosmopolitan and intellectual pursuits. Thanks to Hugh and his comprehensive teachings, the school took on a universalist dimension that Victorines defended against those who wanted to "rip and shred the whole body and who, by a perverse judgment, arbitrarily choose whatever pleases them."
Saint-Victor became a popular retreat of Bernard of Clairvaux and Thomas Becket (1118-1170), and the bishops of Paris had an apartment there. The cloister became a public school of theology and liberal arts, a kind of monastery-university attended by the philosopher Abelard and Peter Lombard, author of the famous Sentences commentées jusqu'à Luther (Sentences commentary to Luther).
The abbey had a rich library open to the public. In the consulting room the manuscripts were chained. But there were other properties: liturgical manuscripts were kept for the choir, some others near the refectory, for reading aloud in the infirmary to the sick and dying, and others consisting of double reserves by the librarian (armarius). Part of the library consisted of a group of books (minores) the canons or students could borrow over long periods (concessi).
The teaching of the abbey activity [3] favoured the development of library funds. Richly endowed, the abbey would be filled by purchases or copies from elsewhere: the scriptorium seems not to have been well developed. Endowments also enriched the collection. In addition, the documents found upon the death of a Victorin (sermons, for example) were compiled and stored in the library.
In Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais, there are satirical references to the library of St Victor (Chapter VII.6).
The scriptorium of Saint-Victor has certainly been the cause of experience glosses texts of Scripture by formatting columns, "formal provision entirely unique"; the biblical text in the center, and commentaries on the outside. This seems to be influence of Italian origin as regards their decoration.
Masters of Saint-Victor
The main and iconic masters of this scholarly abbey remain Hugh and Richard of St. Victor. The first being recognized as the true founder of the school, abbot of 1125-1140, the complete scholar, philosopher, mystic and teacher. The book De sacramentis christianae fidei (1136-1141) is the most important theological synthesis before Thomas Aquinas. The second, Richard of St. Victor is considered the founder of the medieval mysticism.
Philosophies developed by these Victorines was to give a rational support for the mystical, aided by divine grace, enlightenment or innate principles of truth to the soul. One of the goals of all the Victorines was to promote the spiritual life.

"Sometimes you do have some private moments that become public moments, which is usually, especially if you're not giving permission for it, a drag," Reeves sighs. "Even if it's a nice thing, if you're sitting there and then someone's pointing a camera at you. You're like, 'What are you doing?' 'Can I do this?' 'No, actually, no, please don't."

Brewster's also prides itself on being "the place to go to find the best craft beer offerings around." Brewster Arena added an outdoor ice surface adjacent to the indoor rink in 2014. Lace up your skates for a day of pond hockey, and then warm-up in Players over a tasty brew.
Located inside Scotia Pond the Penalty Box Sports Pub might be the nicest arena bar we've ever laid eyes on. Catering to a 20-team adult hockey league and a 4 Arena facility the Penalty Box Sports Pub is all about hockey.

The Hockey Pub offers a unique experience for hockey fans. The restaurant's arched ceiling create the feel of being inside an old school ice arena. The old time international hockey memorabilia scattered throughout the pub helps to enhance that appeal. However, the gorgeous fully stocked wooden bar is clearly the centerpiece of this outstanding hockey pub!
Buba Rays has been a Halifax hockey fan hot spot since 2008. Buba Rays is an official sponsor of the Quebec Major Junior League's Moncton Wildcats. If the Cats put up 7 goals fans eat free wings. Considering Buba Rays boasts "the best wings in Halifax" cheering for the Wildcats seems to be the way to go.
This restaurant/bar was made famous during the 2014 Winter Olympics when Team USA supporters were interviewed live from Izzy's where they had gathered to cheer on their native son and hometown hero, T.J. Oshie. Izzy's is the spot to go in the original "HockeyTown" USA to grab a cold one and talk hockey. You'll find plenty of Warroad High School hockey memorabilia proudly displayed around Izzy's bar, and apparently there are a few good spots for ice fishing close by.
There are quite a few good hockey players coming out of Pittsburgh these days, and many of them spent time at Ice Castle Arena as youngsters. This makes sense considering watching mini-mites practice is a lot more interesting when you do it from the Ice Castle's bar and lounge. The Ice Castle Bar and Lounge is a great place to grab America's Oldest Lager, "Yuengling," and watch some puck.
Hockey sticks across the ceiling, Hawks jersey enshrined in glass cases, and 4 replica Stanley Cups on display, this is the place to hit-up when passing through O'Hare airport. Stop in and dine on a Chicago-style hot dog while sitting under the replica Hawks Championship banners that hang above the bar area.

Home of the Labatt Blue Buffalo Pond Hockey Tournament, RiverWorks is one of the most unique event centers we've ever seen. Featuring a two full rink outdoor hockey facility in the winter, the RiverWorks also offers a full-service bar and restaurant. Come pond hockey season the RiverWorks is the place to be. With Labatt USA's corporate office just around the corner, they are guaranteed not to run short on beer.

Located in the ice forum, the Breakaway Grill might just embody what adult league hockey is really about. After adult league games both teams enjoy a complimentary pitcher. We are willing to bet roster space in this league is at a premium. The Breakaway Grill displays hockey paraphernalia throughout on its walls, and like a number of other bars on this list, looks down on the ice surface below.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign founder Steve Albers will open the Center Ice Brewing Co. in 2016. The Center Ice Brewing Co. is dedicated to creating hockey inspired microbrews in an all hockey environment. The tasting room includes hockey stick/puck tap handles and will incorporate scraps from the St. Louis Arena. Center Ice Brewing Co. does not have an open date yet, but their 7-barrel brew house is in the works and ready to start mashing!
Located in Arcadia Arena, the Ice House Tavern has two levels of bar seating looking out over the rink. Advertising itself as "Arizona's Best Hockey Bar" the Ice House Tavern offers craft beer, live music, and a dart league.
Located in downtown Ottawa the Sens House offers fans the full Ottawa Senators experience away from the Canadian Tire Center. In addition to full sports bar seating the Sens House also offers an all-season rooftop patio.
Every hockey fan should watch the big game on a 39-foot HD TV at some point in their lifetime, and that's exactly what Real Sports offers. Packed with rabid Leafs fans, giant size hockey on the big screen, and plenty of beer choices on draft, Real Sports offers a unique hockey experience. Get there early for big games. This place gets packed!

Only open 1 weekend a year this makeshift bar/Locker room has very limited availability. That said, the Blue Zone at USPHC is another "must-do" for adult hockey players. The scene inside is several hundred pond hockey players, clad in their unis, either lubricating their joints for their next on-ice battle, or unwinding from their latest attempt at capturing on-ice glory. This is the closest you will ever get to having a beer bar in your adult league locker room, unless you have a beer bar in your locker room.
You will find Kimo's located in Richland Washington on the beautiful Columbia River. Kimo's is dedicated to serving the fans of Western Hockey League's Tri-City Americans. All American's games are live streamed. Kimo's also brews up a tasty beer and shows all the NHL games.
This list would not be complete without Gretzky's. You can't even have a conversation about the best without the Great-One. Gretzky's is a shrine to the greatest player in the game, and the game itself. As one would expect from a restaurant named after the best set-up man in sport's history, the service is outstanding. Gretzky's rooftop bar also makes 99's place a great off-season hang out.

Wow! A new bucket list. Not sure I will be able to go to all these places in my life time but would love to try.
I love the Stanley Club at Johnny's Icehouse West, but don't forget about the Original Stanley Club at Johnny's Icehouse East! Great bartenders, very cozy, and over 70 adult teams to watch, from Elite to triple C!
My husband and I own the Corner Bar! Thank you for including us on this list! For those who have not been to our establishment before, the food is great, the beer is cold and the atmosphere is always fun (and even more so before a game.) Everyone add this place to your bucket list and come view our plethora of signed jerseys that are hanging on the walls and on the ceiling.
Thanks for your comment Jessica. Keep up the great work!
Unfortunately the Angry Beaver was nearly leveled in an explain a few weeks ago, and then was burglarized last week.
I might add a great old Scottish pub to this list – The Elbow Room – in Kirkcaldy, Scotland.
Nothing better than a cold pint (Unlike the Brits the Scottish are like us Canadians – they like their Tennent's cold) in an old pub right by the hockey rink where the fanatical supporters of the Fife Flyers can be found before and after games. Had a ton of fun chatting with them in a pub which is a testament to the love of their hockey team and is filled with decades of hockey memorabilia.
Thanks for the heads up on another great hockey bar. You are our second winner of some free gear courtesy of Mammoth Hockey Gear! Email us at info@pondhockeybrew.com with your preferred shipping address.
We love The Angry Beaver here in Seattle, but as you can see, they are really going through a hard time right now.
I just heard from Tim yesterday. He's determined to be back and better than ever for the start of next hockey season!
The Flying Puck is great for its theme. Great food and plenty of tv's. I do have to say, it's very small and the Staff is not very pleasant. If you show up and need a table you can't be seated till the whole party shows and then you may not get one.
Great list. I would like to mention Stub & Herb's, located in University Village, a stone's throw from Mariucci Arena and Ridder Arena, homes of the University of Minnesota's men's & women's hockey teams. I have been visiting S&H's for many years prior to Gopher Games, so much so that it just wouldn't be game day without tipping a few here prior to puck drop. Cheers!
That's a great call! Stub & Herbs is an excellent pregame spot for Gopher Hockey! Winner #3 on the Gear Giveaway.
Thanks Steve! Keep up the great work.
I used to play adult league at ice forum in Duluth and break away grill was always great place to have beers and wings after game! Great list by the way!
Cool list, but I've been a regular at both the Merchant Ale House in St Catharines and the Black Frog in Vancouver and to be honest they're both pretty awful places to watch a game.
I volunteered in Tanzania for a year, and caught a game at Thai Village in Msasani, Dar es Salaam. Big screen, satellite, and great food.
George, thanks for sharing. The sounds like an amazing location to watch a game!
Hey Kyle, I just wanted to point out to you that The Hockey Pub is in Brasov, Romania not Barsov, Romania. I can understand how that could be mixed up seeing that you have been listing awesome bars ov (heh) hockey watching.
Thanks for the heads up Jacob. We owe you one! Got a freebie headed your way.
In Richmond virginia, theres a restaurant/bar called banditos. A lot of caps fans go there. They have a lounge and a huge tv. Great place for a city that doesn't invest in too much hockey.
I know I went to a bar in CHICAGO It was at the hotel that the WIRTZ family owned. I think it was called the BISMARK HOTEL but they had a bar with the stadium ice plan on the floor,the fans sitting in the seats and a penalty box with a table for 2. Also the tables were hockey pucks with the HAWK INDIANHEAD on them. Not sure if it is still there or not.
I want to give you a heads up about a Montreal Canadiens bar in Playa del Carmen. I would have shown a picture but not an option.
Great call Vince! Los Tabernacos definitely should have made the list. Thanks for sharing this TOP HOCKEY BAR with us. We've got a freebie headed your way!
TJ's Sports Bar & Grill in Roswell, Georgia, owned by former Atlanta Flames player TJ Ecclestone. Lots of TVs, great food, and plenty of hockey stuff on the walls.
Been to 4 of the listed bars, and all were fantastic, just have 47 left to see (gonna have to get out my passport for a few). Saw a beer leaguer surrender 5 goals on the first 6 shots at 18 Degrees, love going to The Leaf when I visit my brother in Houston, just enjoyed some Guinness and hockey at The Flying Puck a few weeks ago on St Pat's, and as a proud Sabres fan I love me some 716!
Alex, we need to get you a punch card and see if you can get to all 51! Sending a freebie your way.
These are the best kinds of pubs in the whole world! When you got a big game on and every one in the pub is a fan, it is a fun atmosphere that just adds spirit to the game. I've never been to a hockey pub before but it looks awesome and I can't wait to give it a try one day.
Hattricks Tavern in Tampa deserves to be on here. Not only will you find plenty of beer and hockey memorabilia, but the food is pretty damn good, too.
Yes, you'll see Lightning jerseys, sticks and photos all over the place, but you'll see former Flyers goalie and longtime Lightning color analyst Bobby "The Chief" Taylor there every so often enjoying a brew. The dude's Flyers jersey is on the wall, too. It's definitely cramped on there on game days, being right down the street from Amalie Arena. Visiting fans are getting wise and coming to this joint, too.
Good call! Hattricks should be packed for the game tomorrow night.
Light the Lamp was the best place outside the United Center to see the Blackhawks clinch the cup last year. We passed the replica Stanley Cup around and held it up and kissed it just like the Blackhawks were doing on TV. Watched almost the entire season there this year. Great beer and even greater people. A must!
Seriously, Izzy's??? It's a pretty crappy bar, just famous because it's in Warroad…And TJ isn't a "Native Son" He was born and spend most of his childhood in Washington State. Other than that, it's a great list. I've been to a few and can't wait to go to the rest!!!!
Here is a list of Chicago Blackhawks bars outside of Chicago.
That site also has other hockey friendly bars that cater to specific hockey fans that live outside of the local market. Small list but they are working on growing it with time.
What a great list! It appears to be in ranked order although this is never explicitly stated; is my interpretation correct? I appreciate the fact that you took the time to do a global review of places and to see so many different cities represented; it's the bar that matters, not its location!
When I was in Nuevo Vallarta / Bucerias, Nayarit, Mexico (just north of Puerto Vallarta), I was really surprised to see so many hockey bars there in those beach towns. Has anyone visited these bars and would any of them merit making this list?
Thanks Tim. The list in not necessarily in order, but many of our favorites are mentioned early on. We definitely need to expand the list to include these mexicans hockey bars, as well as a Caribbean pub that's been brought to our attention!
In NYC, Kelly's has been a favorite hangout of Capitals and Sabres fans! The atmosphere has been fun but I don't know about the food or drink specials.

Please select options for Rugged Ridge Dana 30 Differential Skid Plate - Black (87-18 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ & JK) at the top of this page.
The Rugged Ridge Differential Skid Plate for the Dana 30 axle is for those of you that have a 1987 and up Wrangler, and are looking to add some protection to your Dana 30. So of course the pumpkin of the axle is the lowest point that hangs down. If you do some wheeling where there are stumps or rocks that area can contact the ground or an obstacle and you can end up peeling back your differential cover, letting oil out the diff and very quickly ruining your day. So adding a skid plate like this will help to protect against that as well as helping you to slide over obstacles a little bit easier. Now you can always swap out your differential cover completely for one that is stronger and those will generally have some other benefits as well. They will have some additional cooling, they might have a dipstick or a different way of filling your differential to make servicing a little bit easier, but they're also going to be a little bit more expensive. This is going to be a simple yet effective and less expensive way of helping to protect your differential cover. This diff cover is made of three sixteens inch seal and it's covered in a black powder coat finish. This is going to install very easily on your Dana 30 Axle because you don't have to crack open the axle get involved with resealing it, RTV, changing the oil. This is just going to bolt right over top of that differential cover, again making for you very, very easy installation. So, whether you have a Dana 30 in the front of your JK, of your TJ, of your YJ, whatever Jeep you have, this is going to fit very easily and work very well. Again, very simple one out of three wrench installation will take you less than half an hour to get this bolted up. All you'll need to do is remove the five lower bolts from the differential cover, set your differential skid plate over top of the cover, and replace the bolts with the new longer ones that come in this kit. Again very simple you don't have to crack open the pumpkin, don't have to get involved with resealing with oil. This just goes right over top very, very in easy install with just a socket set. This skid plate will run you right around $60 and I do think that's a fair price for what you're getting. I think this is well built, it fits really well, and while you can spend more money by getting a full replacement differential cover, this is going to be a less expensive yet still effective way of protecting your diff. So I think this is $60 well spent. So if you're looking for an easy to install differential skid plate I definitely recommend taking a look at this one from Rugged Ridge that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.
Construction. Made from 3/16 inch steel, this Rugged Ridge skid plate was specially designed for optimal protection of the factory installed differential cover. It's finished with a black powder coat to give it that rugged, durable Jeep look.
Protection. Your differential cover needs protection, and these heavy duty skid plates were built for the job. They're specially designed to fit the counters of your differential cover exactly, and help slide over obstacles without damaging your Jeep - or slowing you down. Replacement mounting hardware and detailed instructions are included.
Application. Fits 1987-2018 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ and JK models. A simple bolt-on construction using factory mountings can be completed by virtually anyone. All necessary installation hardware is included.
Thank you for contacting us! We would be happy to assist you in figuring out what skid plates you need for your Wrangler, but we would need a little more information! Please contact us directly for assistance: https://www.extremeterrain.com/contact.html.
many reviews suggested you could not get a socket on one of the access holes w/o grinding some of the part down to tighten. per the other suggestions I got grade 8 hardware in the same length as the junk allens included in the kit and proceeded with the install. no grinding was needed when you use a 1/4" drive extension and socket. got in unfettered and tightened down nicely. since I had it out I proceeded to use the 1/4" drive on all of the fasteners. took less than a half house including the trip to HD for the #8 hardware.
Great product but why it comes with Allen bolts in beyond me. Not as easy to torque, why not make them the same as the existing ones?
These have taken a few hits now and they held up great! Cannot beat the protection for the price. Went on in minutes and a perfect fit!
Hex head bolts, no washers, not grade 8. I've went out and purchased my own hardware for about $10. As a result I had to grind away a little bit of surface area so that my ratchet could fit into the bolt. Armor is solid and should get me by until I upgrade to a Dana 44 front axle. Good design just a little disappointed with the sub-standard hardware.
Mine fit good except for the upper right bolt. I used bolts and not the allens provided. I couldn't get to the upper right with a wrench or socket. I had to grind and file a bit off in order to get to it to torx it down. I had to repaint it before installing it.
Pros; Good protection. Seems to be well made. Cons; They pack full of mud between diff cover and plate. The bolts that come in the kit are junk. Don't try to use them. Go get some grade 8 bolts and replace them.
Heavy construction, simple install took less than 45 minutes front and rear. Done a little crawling since install with no bending.
Seems well made. Took less than 15 minutes to install.
When I ordered this differential skid plate I was looking for one that would protect my front pumpkin but also protect the bolts that hold the cover on and this product does the job perfectly. It is made out of 3/16" steel and powdered coated black. It really added a great look to my front end and it can definitely take a hard hit.
Sturdy, 20 minute install, just like the rear one. No leaks, no sweat. Not a fan of Allen head bolts that come with it though. Recommend it for the price.
Easy to install, great protection!
No brainer to install, just plan on changing your oil and gasket (mine needed it anyways). Painted it with a few coats of red paint and some clear coat....looks great and the paints still there after the first weekend in the trails!
The skid plate hardware (allen pan head bolts) implies the install is a simple remove the flange bolts and install the skid plate with the pan head bolts. Not so in my case. After installing the skid plate the old silicone seal did not hold. Remove the skid plate and differential cover and install correctly with new silicone and all flange bolts. Allen head anything usually turns into a bigger problem later on. The original flange bolts are 5/8 X 5/16. Replace them with 3/4 X 5/16 to allow for the skid plate thickness. The flange bolts will fit in all the holes. The upper bolt opening of the skid plate on the short side of the differential will not accept a socket or box end wrench. Clamp the skid plate down and open it up with a round file and flat file. Clean and dry the gasket surfaces, reassemble with silicone and flange bolts. Wait for silicone to cure and fill with new oil. Now the job is as it should have been in the first place. Differentials usually only leak a little until they are empty, then they don't leak at all.
how important is this item ?
Product arrived on time,very easy install,as best of all did its job ! first time out I wacked a good sized bolder and it held up great ! very pleased.
I received my package on time. Opened box found very heavy well built front diff cover came with new bolts. Installed it in 15 or 20 minutes.


What's in a question? | I wrote a book. Now what?
Who, what, where, when and why. These are the beginnings of interrogative sentences. They are a type of sentence that requires an answer and always ends with a question mark. They are best used in dialogue and often called questions.
Unless I'm writing in the first person I try to avoid interrogative sentences in the narrative. Mostly because I write the in the third person and narrative questions come off as rhetorical and out-of-place. In the first person, they fit better because a rhetorical question is easy to read as the characters' thought.
There are four types of Interrogative sentences to be used.
The yes-no are questions that elicit a yes or no answer.
"Dale are you ready to go?" Amber tapped her foot on the tiled floor.
The alternative – Are sentences that can result in two or more answers.
"Should I finish this now or later?" Scott looked up at Valery.
Wh- they are sentences that have the Wh- words. Who, what, where, when and why. They force an open answer that is not a yes or no.
"Ouch, he's hot. Who was that?" Jeannie asked quietly as Detective Thorn passed their desk.
Last but not least are Tag questions. A declarative sentence with a question tagged on at the end. It leads to a yes-no or sometimes a statement answer.
Questions or interrogative sentences keep things going, they get the readers' wheels turning. In dialogue, they can be key to keeping things from becoming boring. It's also natural.
In the narrative, it can become tricky.
"I'll get it," Scott said as he jogged up the stairs. Why was he always the one to have to go? He scowled at the thought.
While this can feel natural when written because the words I write come from inside my head, it's not the best way to express that.
"I'll get it," Scott said and scowled as he jogged up the stairs. He went because nobody else ever did.
There better. Let me try another.
"Seriously Dale I need you to stop." Amber swatted his hand away. Why was he always so annoying after work?
This comes across as the first person but the story is third. Let me try again.
"Seriously Dale I need you to stop." Amber swatted his hand away. He was always more annoying after work.
Now when in the first person to start with a narrative question might not be so bad.
I walked into the room and felt instantly at home. Why? I had no idea.
Still, I would probably change that too.
I walked into the room and instantly felt at home; I have no idea why.
I have no idea why I felt instantly at home when I walked into the room.
I can't write dialogue without questions of one kind or another, it's necessary because it's realistic. My fault lies in the questions I dump into the narrative. I have to stop and ask myself, does it belong there? Is it actually 'inner thought' of the character or am I being rhetorical in my own mind's voice? Chances are I need to rephrase that narrative.
My advice about interroragtive sentences in writing.
It's something that has recently come to mind for me as I wrote a story in the first person and noticed I used a lot of this. Now as I'm editing BiaAtlas I'm finding them in the narrative and editing them out.

New coverage guidelines take effect in 2019 that can make it more affordable for Medicare beneficiaries to get the caregiving services they need.
Original Medicare's coverage (Medicare Part A and Part B) can be summed up with four words: "Only when medically necessary."
And in the case of Medicare Advantage plans (Part C), the similar magic words are "primarily health-related."
If a service or item does not meet one of these general guidelines, it is not likely to be covered. But thanks to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently reconsidering its definition of those phrases, some significant coverage changes have been made for 2019.
And these changes can have a huge impact, not just for Medicare beneficiaries themselves, but also for their caregivers.
The coverage of personal care services by Medicare has long been advocated for, but to no avail. The push finally drew enough interest from the CMS, however, that on April 2, 2018, the organization announced that it was expanding its coverage limits to include a set of not-medically necessary services and items for Medicare Advantage plans.
That means that for the first time ever, not-skilled in-home care services will be allowed as a supplemental benefit for Medicare Advantage plans. So if you're a caregiver, many of the services you are currently providing may now be covered.
That's big news for anyone providing care for a loved one, with one or both parties often bearing the burden of caregiving expenses.
Medicare Advantage plans are an alternative to Original Medicare and are sold by private insurance companies. They are required by law to offer all of the same benefits as Medicare Part A and Part B. Beyond that requirement, these plans can then offer additional benefits of their own, commonly referred to as "supplemental benefits."
Some examples of supplemental benefits that a Medicare Advantage plan might offer include coverage for prescription drugs, dental, and vision care. Approximately one-third of all Medicare beneficiaries are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan.
Because Medicare Advantage plans are sold by private insurance companies, the benefits offered will vary from plan to plan.
"CMS is catching up with the rest of the world in terms of its understanding of how we keep people healthy and well and living longer and independently, and those are all positive steps," Connolly said.
In other words, the CMS is finally coming around to the idea that providing covered care outside of a doctor's office could be a short-term investment with long-term gain.
The theory is that by providing more coverage for at-home and aging-in-place care, hospital visits should decline and overall Medicare costs should go down.
Every Medicare beneficiary and their caregiver should be aware of these changes, which took effect on Jan. 1, 2019.
What's New for Caregiving Coverage?
Here's a brief summary of some of the potential Medicare Advantage benefits that have been either added or expanded as a result of the recent coverage changes.
Things like bathroom grab bars and wheelchair ramps may now be covered by some Medicare Advantage plans, along with air conditioners for people with asthma. As any home caregiver soon finds out, modifying a home can be an effective (and sometimes necessary) step toward providing quality care.
While original Medicare only covers transportation to a hospital in an emergency situation, some Medicare Advantage plans may now cover rides to non-emergency medical appointments provided by senior transportation services.
Adult day care and in-home respite care may also now be covered by a Medicare Advantage plan. Having this type of service covered can offer a big sense of relief for a caregiver who is starting to feel stretched thin.
Medicare coverage for at-home care has always been bound by an "only when medically necessary" clause. But that clause has been softened for 2019, and some Medicare Advantage plans may now offer coverage for home health aides to assist with custodial care like bathing, dressing, and eating.
Medicare Advantage plans were previously allowed to partner with Meals on Wheels and other similar programs to provide beneficiaries with home-delivered meals. But the restrictions limited those covered deliveries to only the days following the return home after a surgery or for those with a chronic illness.
Those restrictions have been loosened under the new guidelines, and some Medicare Advantage beneficiaries may now be able to gain greater access to a hot meal while their caregiver earns relief from the daily duty of cooking.
Original Medicare provides coverage for hospice care, but the new policy changes allow some Medicare Advantage plans to also provide benefits for at-home palliative treatment.
A caregiver's job isn't easy, but some Medicare Advantage plans are aiming to help by offering caregiver counseling as a covered benefit.
These policy changes provide a welcomed and deserved relief for caregivers.
As a caregiver, you may now be able to make home modifications and not be stuck holding a hefty bill. You don't have to re-arrange your life to drive your loved one to a doctor's appointment. You can take advantage of respite care and adult day care. And if you still find yourself in a difficult place, you may be able to pick up the phone and speak to a caregiver counselor.
Caregiving can carry a financial toll, and not just due to lost wages. There's also gas money for transportation, home modifications, meal preparation, and more to consider. If you're a caregiver for a Medicare beneficiary, it might be wise to look into any Medicare Advantage plans available in your area and familiarize yourself with the enrollment guidelines.
There are only certain times of the year in which someone can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. The costs, conditions and benefits can vary based on your plan, provider or location.
Medicare open enrollment takes place each fall from October 15 to December 7, but you may also be able to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan during other times of the year. Take the time to do your homework and find out when you may be able to enroll in a plan.

"GOD IN A BOX" UNPACKED.
At Beliefnet's Progressive Revival blog, Ed Kilgore takes a dissenting view of Obama's new White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, and its accompanying Advisory Council. In particular, Kilgore objects to the implication that religious people have better ideas about solving our societal crises, noting that the initiative "puts 'God in a box,' as though believers have a different point of view than that of Americans generally concerned with achieving peace, justice, or public morality." What's more, he adds, it we're going to have such an endeavor, "it can't possibly represent its constituency, and may well sell it short, even as it poses troubling questions about the proper role of religious organizations in the liberal American tradition that has been so beneficial to religious freedom, growth and diversity." He concludes:
I'd encourage President Obama to in turn encourage people of faith to engage with his administration, cheek by jowl with each other and with nonbelievers, on the broad front of public policy. We don't need our own little public policy bureaucracy, staffed by "representatives" who may be significantly compromised by their inclusion in the charmed circle of insiders, at the expense of their vocation to witness fully for the faith. That's the dreadful mistake that so many self-appointed Christian Leaders made during the Bush Era. In that respect, as in many others, some real change is in order.
I'd add something more to Kilgore's assessment: there's an untapped network of progressive religious people, who don't want some special seat at a White House table, don't want to compromise their beliefs on social, sexual, and economic issues for the sole and completely elusive goal of defusing the right's lousy, mean-spirited "culture war," and who share with the broader progressive movement a commitment to real policy and legislative changes that will advance long-lasting and meaningful economic justice. I discussed some of them in last week's FundamentaList, in which I also argued in the context of religious activism, as John Judis does today more broadly, that Obama needs agitators, not cheerleaders. Perhaps there's potential in a coalition of agitators who could challenge the allure of playing to a perceived religious and economic center.--Sarah Posner
