Southold awaiting state approval to move kiosks to information booths
By Chris Lisinski
Kiosks installed late last year were recently taken down as the town awaits state approval to relocate them closer to various information booths.
Supervisor Scott Russell has described the kiosks as "tourist guides" listing historical information and attractions for Mattituck, Cutchogue, Southold and Greenport.
Two kiosks had been installed in Mattituck and Southold, he said. The others slated for Cutchogue and Greenport have remained in storage.
Once the state Department of Transportation signs off on the project, the Mattituck and Cutchogue kiosks will both move next to the tourist information booth at Laurel Lake, Mr. Russell said. The Southold and Greenport kiosks will move next to the information booth near the St. Peter's Lutheran Church on Route 25 in Greenport.
"We're going to have to double up the hamlets because we have no information booths in Southold or Cutchogue," the supervisor said.
After two kiosks were installed last November — one at the corner of Main Road and Youngs Avenue in Southold, the other near Love Lane and Pike Street in Mattituck — residents complained the three-sided, seven-foot tall structures were a visual blemish on the hamlets. In addition, some Mattituck residents said they felt the kiosk blocked all-too-rare parking spaces.
"When the kiosks went in, there was a huge public backlash to the locations," Mr. Russell said. "Aesthetically, they weren't consistent with what people expected from their downtowns, so they're all in the process of being relocated."
They were removed about two months ago and are now being stored at the town's highway department building until the town receives a state grant for the kiosk project.
Their move is the latest step in a saga that stretches back more than a decade. The town's Transportation Committee concocted the idea and received federal funding in 2006, but due to delays over the years — especially when seeking approval from the state DOT — the kiosks were only installed in November.
"It was actually done so long ago that the original grant was secured by [former] Congressman [Felix] Grucci," Mr. Russell said.
Since it took so long for the kiosks to be installed in the first place, Mr. Russell was hesitant to estimate when they will be moved to their new locations.
"Given the timeframe it took to get them approved the first time, I would say not any time soon," Mr. Russell said when asked about an unveiling date.

• US press: Anton Hochheim at Force Field PR
[email: anton@forcefieldpr.com]
The Proper Ornaments – the project of James Hoare (Ultimate Painting, Veronica Falls) and Max Oscarnold (Toy) – announce the release of their second album. Foxhole will be released through Slumberland Records (US) and Tough Love Records (EU) on January 20, 2017.
The first single from the forthcoming album is Memories, listen on SoundCloud.
James and Max started out writing Foxhole, the follow up to the bands 2014 released debut album 'Wooden Head', in January 2015. On 'Foxhole' they've sliced away a whole stratum of their sound, removing some distortion and lowering the frequency of plectrum strokes to allow more nuanced, piano-led ideas to emerge. The title isn't a reference to Television's jaunty proto-punk record but seems to be more of a dark, protective interior, a head space sketched out on 'Jeremy's Song'. While their particularly recognisable production style remains, three things stand out as likely reasons for the shift in mood. By the time they got around to recording again in James' bedroom in Finsbury Park that Summer, the instability around the recording of 'Wooden Head' (and the five years before) had slid into a deep and seething acrimony. Second, they both bought pianos. Third, when the band, with Daniel Nellis and Bobby Syme joining on bass and drums went to record at Tin Room in Hackney in June, the pinch wheel on the 8 track machine was broken and somehow no one noticed. All but one recording, 'The Frozen Stare,' was hopelessly warped, so they went and did it all again from scratch back at James'.
"We ended up doing the whole thing there as the atmosphere suited the direction of the foxhole and we were more comfortable working on it in our own time," says James, "We wanted to move in a slightly different direction from 'Wooden Head', away from the distorted guitars and into a more peaceful area." The mechanical blow out that had wasted weeks of their time and money coincided with a thaw in their friendship, and by the time they were re-recording they were both being treated conspicuously gentler by life. "That's why the record has a laid back, conversational, not imposing or anxious feel in my opinion," Max says about their rapprochement, "There's also the technical limitation of doing it on an 8 track which gives the songs a sparser sound."
Themes of their previous work have been picked up again and honed. The sense of being overlooked and isolated, inevitable change and drift particularly set in terms of age, predominates. Undercutting the feelings of forward movement are ones of a gnawing permanent stasis and confusion wrought by memory. It's a sombre but also more direct and open effort, from its first number 'Back Pages' ('See me on the back page/of last year's modern age') onwards.
Proper Ornaments hold the attraction of seeming to not try very hard at all and achieve something outstanding nonetheless. Quite apart from our attachment to laziness and chance which make this seductive, textures of dappled drums, softened-out guitars and vocal harmonies that slide along as effortlessly as this, any evidence of conscious construction spirited away, are in themselves totally ecstatic to listen to.

All eyes on Spa
November 29, 2022 —
acc, s61
The Crew Chief GT3 Masters VI reaches a crescendo this weekend as the Class of Season 61 congregates for the finale of our flagship series.
Masters Mania has engulfed the community over the last 6 months with unprecedented grids acting as the catalyst that has kept the fires raging, but who will survive the cauldron-like climate and emerge as Masters champion?
Since the season opener at COTA back in early September, the RRL circus has visited all 4 corners of the world with stops at Asia, Africa, Australia & Europe, taking in some of the most iconic tarmac on the planet. Races have not been without drama & incident but an overriding sense of duty and respect for the series has resulted in an enthralling championship.
In a calendar bursting with challenging circuits, the staging of our final round is arguably the most famous road racing venue in the world. It's old school, it's long, it's fast and it's a driver's delight although a thorough examination of their resolve.
It is, of course, Spa-Francorchamps.
Seven kilometers of tarmac, winding its way through the forrest. This is Spa- Francorchamps, host of the season finale...
This iconic Belgian track sleeps silently, deep in one of nature's unspoilt areas, rich in fauna and flora, with vast forests of broadleaf and fir, fast-flowing rivers and hills that will soon be awakened by thunderous echos of GT3 engines as drivers descend on the Arden Forest for the series decider.
Feeling the heat will be the 3 drivers who head the drivers' championship, all with a realistic chance of achieving the ultimate goal of being crowned Masters champion as the chequered flag is waved. They are:
🇧🇪 Bram Depraitere #44 | Team WRT
As a past Masters champion at RRL, Bram needs no introduction around these parts and will know what it takes to win this illustrious series. Driving the Audi R8 Evo II in what is believed to be Team WRT's final collaboration with the German manufacturer, he finds himself leading the championship after back-to-back wins in Kyalami & Bathurst, although the latter being rescinded after a stewards penalty. Bram will relish the challenge of Spa on home soil but will it also invite unwanted pressure on the Belgian?
I can hardly believe it is time already for the final round of this Masters! I'm really looking forward to Spa. It is an absolute epic track and the ideal place to decide the outcome of this series. It always delivers fantastic racing but it can also be very unforgiving, especially in a 2 hour-long race... Best of luck to all competitors, and let's make it a cracking final race!
- Bram Depraitere -
🇩🇪 Max Beyer #392 | Grizzly Racing
Max must be considered the in-form driver heading into the final weekend. Back-to-back wins in the previous 2 rounds have seen the German leapfrog up the standings and now splits the Team WRT drivers. Forming one half of Grizzly Racing, what Max has achieved in the Nismo GT-R is a testament to his dedication. And with heavy clouds amassing over the Ardennes, Beyer must be fancying his chances for a strong result and also landing back-to-back ACC series at RRL.
An exciting championship final is coming up!
While Spa isn't exactly one of my stronger tracks, nor is it from my beloved GTR, anything is still possible. The Belgian weather will play a crucial role and can possibly change the race results completely. Pace-wise, I expect my main championship contenders Amedeo and Bram to be way faster, especially in the dry. But in a 2-hour race on Spa, not only pace will decide who gets the title. As soon as rain comes into play, it gets spicy. 🙂
The slippery track is both, risk and chance. And depending on how the weather develops, pit strategies can make the difference between victory and defeat. On top of that, it can be tricky to follow other drivers in dirty air on Spa. But as if that wasn't enough already, there are also the track limits, which can easily be exceeded, especially in dirty air. A drive-through penalty can quickly end the championship fight.
So it's going to be an exciting race in any case! My highest priority is staying out of trouble, having a clean race and avoiding a DT. I'm really looking forward to it and hope, it'll be a great race to watch on the RRL broadcast, too!
- Max Beyer -
🇧🇪 Amedeo Dekeyser #8 | Team WRT
Also pulling strength from the home crowd will be Belgian Amedeo, who will be keen to land his 1st RRL driver title. Having flown out of the blocks with victories at COTA & Suzuka, Dekeyser's grip on the Masters has slipped somewhat after an absence and incidents at key moments of the season. With 3/5 poles and 4/5 fastest laps, there is no denying that Amedeo has some serious speed in the R8 but perhaps the pressure of this great Masters series has taken its toll.
Personally, I've been a bit disappointed with my last few races, in which I threw away a lot of points (Punted Cliff at Kyalami, crashed out at Bathurst on my own and screwed up the strategy at Imola). The pace was there or thereabouts every time, but silly mistakes cost me a lot of points. Because of that, I'm really keen to end the season on a high on WRT's home track. I'm fully focused to try and put in a top performance. If that means I still miss out on the title, so be it, but I don't want to have any regrets again after the race.
Whatever happens at Spa, this season has been a blast: I'd like to thank everyone at RRL for organising such a brilliant series for everyone to enjoy, especially Martin. All of the streams have been a joy to rewatch!
-Amedeo Dekeyser -
So, all eyes are on Spa as we eagerly await to witness who will be crowned Masters champion, and what a finale it is poised to be!
With 110pts available and just 30pts separating the top 3, this is not the time to rest on one's laurels as any sniff of opportunity will be pounced upon with a vengeance. Will team orders feature at Team WRT and if so, will drivers be compliant? Will it be the weather, an incident, a cut track, the stewards, a cruel act of fate or the immense talent of one of these drivers that shall prevail?
Whatever other sporting events are going down on Sunday, if you aren't competing, you simply must have eyes on this race as the drama unfolds. Don't miss a moment, all expertly narrated by resident caster, Hughesy!

Round 7 of the CrewChief GT3 Masters VI, live from Spa-Francorchamps
⟵ GT3MVI - It's a wrap! Im-o-la-la ⟶


The organizers of the eighteenth edition of the Mediterranean Games have scheduled every activity and every minute of these 10 days of sporting competitions knowing that volunteers were the key to their success. The people of Tarragon didn't let them down. Over 8,000 applied for the 3,500 volunteer positions for the Games — these are people who love sports, the city, and are giving their all to ensure all runs smoothly.
Toni works with Joan Tornell, who is also volunteering for the Games. "Basketball is my favorite sport, and fortunately, they are going to play three on three for the first time in this edition," he explains. Both of them mention how thrilled the whole province is. "Tarragona has been turned upside down by the Games," he states.
Valls has also been a key part of the celebrations of the Mediterranean Games. It was he that put Tarragona forward as a host, after returning from Barcelona '92 as a judge. Now, 36 years later, he feels "happy." However, he assures us that the credit should not go to him, but to those who have supported the bid, and the inhabitants of Tarragona.
An athletics stadium that meets the requirements to host any competition aside from the Olympics (which have specific regulations), a sports pavilion that is now an architectural point of reference for experts (for having won various awards, and a 50-meter swimming pool have been the first facilities to be added to the city. "The residents of Tarragona are going to be able to use all of this," says Valls.
"If the athletes are a key part of the Mediterranean Games, we volunteers are the heart and soul," Tornell and Carmona explain. And they are not alone: as the t-shirts and polos that everyone involved in the organization wears tells us, this whole province is "ready to make history".


worship is the heart of our life together. It's a place and time for being with God and for connecting with one another. We hear God's Word to us, are nourished at God's table, offer back to God our prayers, praises and blessings and connect with each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Westminster offers two primary worship opportunities each week, Sunday morning and Wednesday evening.
We are happy to have disciples of all ages worship with us and encourage all to participate as they are comfortable. For children wishing to remain in the sanctuary during worship, Children's Activity Sacks are available in a basket in the back pew and children are welcome to draw and color, read and rest during our worship hour.
A Time with Children during the service is an opportunity for young people to spend a few moments "up front" with our pastors, after which they are invited to return to the Children's Room in the Educational Wing for Sunday School. Our all ages curriculum—Feasting on the Word—guides children through the same scripture passages that are the focus of worship each week, so families experience scripture on the same schedule. Questions? Ushers, greeters, pastors and child care workers are here to help you and your little ones feel comfortable here.
Sunday worship is always followed by a time of coffee fellowship in our Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to come, enjoy some refreshments and connect with friends new and old.
Large print bulletins, hymnals and Bibles, printed sermon copies and assisted hearing devices are available just outside the sanctuary doors on the podium should you need them.

The Ohio Valley Symphony: The Roarin' Twenties!
100 years ago a new age was dawning, the skirts were shorter, the money flowed freely and the the Roarin' Twenties brought in a whole new style of American music. Be at the Ariel Opera House on April 23rd to celebrate an entire concert of brand new arrangements of Roarin' Twenties music by Cincinnati Pops Principal Arranger Tim Berens featuring vocalist Mandy Gaines and pianist Michael Chertock.
Be the first to hear these brand new arrangements as the concert will be recorded live by a Grammy winning recording engineer as he and his team capture it all for public television and radio broadcast as well as a CD. Be a part of this special occasion and purchase your tickets today!!
Tim Berens, conductor and arranger
Tim has walked a unique path. While studying classical guitar at CCM, an injury forced him to stop playing guitar. During the years-long recovery, he studied computer science, took a job writing software, and soon owned a small software development company, Back Office Applications. His software is used in grocery stores around the world to this day.
Self employment allowed Tim to pursue his lifelong dream to be a musician. So far, Tim's dream has led him through the worlds of classical guitar, jazz guitar, orchestral guitar, arranging, orchestration, composition, and conducting.
During his years as the guitarist for the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Tim played guitar, banjo, mandolin and bouzouki on concerts, recordings, television programs, and international tours. In the late 1990's, Tim began arranging for the CPO. His arrangements enriched concerts, CDs, and television broadcasts.
Tim's arranging caught the ears of others and he began receiving commissions from leading conductors and orchestras. His arrangements and compositions are performed hundreds of times per year by orchestras throughout the United States and abroad, in venues from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl.
In 2010, Tim returned to school to study conducting. After earning a Master Degree in Orchestral Conducting, he began conducting professionally.
Tim's most recent project is the Berens Pops Library, a library of music for pops orchestras, which was created in response to demand from orchestras to perform his works.
Throughout his professional career Tim performed regularly at jazz clubs, releasing 4 jazz recordings on the Red Mark label under his own name along the way.
Tim's most nerve wracking performance took place in 1975. Not even the duet he performed with Kristin Chenoweth at Carnegie Hall induced more gut-wrenching performance anxiety than when his band, Holy Terror, performed Smoke on the Water in the Van Buren Junior High School Talent Show. Holy Terror, which consisted of Tim, his neighbor PJ, and PJ's sister, Cara, would be very impressed that today Tim is conducting symphony orchestras.
An avid chess player (E4) and an enthusiastic, but bad golfer, Tim is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and The Ohio State University.

Q: Generic view for different models in django To summarize the project, I am working on a website that categorizes electronic devices. Each electronic device has a category (Phone, Tablet, Computer, etc...), a manufacturer (Apple, Samsung, Dell, etc...) and the device itself (iPhone 6, iPhone X, Samsung S21, etc...).
I have a single template for the 3 different models (Category, Manufacture, Device) and I am looking to simplify the views which are currently just a copy and paste.
Here is the current code:
@login_required(login_url="/login/")
def show_category(request):
    groups = Category.objects.all()
    return render(request, "groups/group.html", {'group': 'Category', 'groups': groups})

@login_required(login_url="/login/")
def show_manufacturer(request):
    groups = Manufacturer.objects.all()
    return render(request, "groups/group.html", {'group': 'Manufacturer', 'groups': groups})

@login_required(login_url="/login/")
def show_device(request):
    groups = Device.objects.all()
    return render(request, "groups/group.html", {'group': 'Device', 'groups': groups})

Additionally, I have some POST functions which are also copy pastes of the same function for the different models to the same template.
I have been able to find examples where multiple models are used at the same time for one template, but I cannot for the life of me seem to find an example of using different models for the same template.
Can someone link me to an example or the docs that explains how to accomplish this ?
I feel like I have missed something from reading the docs, or maybe I simply don't quite grasp the whole models, views, templates way of doing it in Django as I feel this is supposed to be the whole concept of Django, simplifying the code in such ways using powerful views and templates.
Thank you !

A: This is the sort of case where Class-based Views shine, because of the ability to inherit.  Though this might be overkill if you're only doing three views
class GroupListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):
    template_file = 'groups/group.html'

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        data = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
        data['group'] = self.model._meta.verbose_name
        return data

class ShowCategory(GroupListView):
    model = Category

class ShowManufacturer(GroupListView):
    model = Manufacturer

class ShowDevice(GroupListView):
    model = Device

Q: disable finish button after onfinish event jquery.steps I use jquery.steps but I fail to disable the finish button after it has been pressed.
This is my initialze of the component:
    $("#wizard").steps({
    onFinished: function (event, currentIndex) {
       //Do Function
    },
    labels: {
        finish: "Attack the planet",
        next: "Next",
        previous: "Previous",
    }
});

So when I press finish it goes to the function but I also need it to disable the finish button so users dont multiple click on it.
Any help is appreciated

A: This is what I did and it seems to get the job done for all the buttons:
function togglePrevious(enable) { toggleButton("previous", enable); }
function toggleNext    (enable) { toggleButton("next",     enable); }
function toggleFinish  (enable) { toggleButton("finish",   enable); }
function toggleButton(buttonId, enable)
{
    if (enable)
    {
        // Enable disabled button
        var button = $("#wizard").find('a[href="#' + buttonId + '-disabled"]');
            button.attr("href", '#' + buttonId);
            button.parent().removeClass();
    }
    else
    {
        // Disable enabled button
        var button = $("#wizard").find('a[href="#' + buttonId + '"]');
            button.attr("href", '#' + buttonId + '-disabled');
            button.parent().addClass("disabled");
    }
}

It changes the href value to [buttonname]-disabled, effectively making it it invisible to jQuery Steps. The code also changes the style of the parent list element to the "disabled" class to make it appear disabled (i.e grayed out).

A: You can add this inside the function.
enableFinishButton: false;

See the docs.

A: You can add this inside the function.
showFinishButtonAlways = true
See the code block below
 $(function (){
      $("#wizard").steps({
        showFinishButtonAlways = true,
        onFinished: function (event, currentIndex) {
         //Do Function
        },
        labels: {
            finish: "Finish",
            next: "Next",
            previous: "Previous",
         }
      });
    });

Evan Rachel Wood Reveals New Pixie Look
by UInterviewJune 22, 2011, 12:00 amJune 22, 2011, 12:00 amJune 22, 2011, 12:00 amNews >
Anyone expecting to see Evan Rachel Wood's long, flowing locks at Tuesday's premiere party for True Blood was in for a surprise. Instead, the 23-year-old debuted a daring pixie cut on the red carpet for season four of the HBO drama.
Dressed in a charcoal vest, matching cigarette pants and bright red Dolce & Gabbana suspenders, Wood told the press that the killer cut was a way to try something new.
"I had my hair super long and I was just ready for a change," the starlet told Access Hollywood. "And I've always wanted to do it and never really had the guts and I just thought, 'I wanna do it at least once, just chop it off."
Don't expect to see Wood's blonde-tipped cut on True Blood or any of her upcoming projects, though. "It's just for life," she said. "It's just for me."
Wood will reprise her True Blood role of vampire queen Sophie-Anne Leclerq, with her trademark long red coif. She'll rock long, blonde ringlets for her role as Molly Stearn alongside George Clooney, Ryan Gosling and Marisa Tomei in The Ides of March, which will be released in October.

Premature Evaluation: Taylor Swift 1989
Premature Evaluation October 27, 2014 4:29 PM By Tom Breihan
"Respect motherfucking craft when you hear it." Writing for Brooklyn's L Magazine six years ago, that was how I ended my review of Taylor Swift's triumphant sophomore album Fearless. (The review isn't online anymore, but the Village Voice was nice enough to reprint some highlights.) Back when I wrote that, Swift was ostensibly making country music, but her songs were already masterfully assembled big-pop mechanisms. She took from mainstream country music the things that worked for her (the clean lines, the mathematically precise structures, the warmly personal and specific storytelling) and jettisoning the stuff that didn't (the oppositional culture-wars mentality, the truck fetishism, the reverence to past giants). Everything else was pure subterfuge, and her banjos and pedal steels did the same sharp, glinting melodic work that synth beeps and smears would've done on a straight-up pop record. In a way, then, 1989, which Swift has loudly announced as her first straight-up pop album, is her most genuine, least manufactured album. This time around, she doesn't need banjos to do the things that synths should be doing; she just has the synths do those things. She's free to openly be what she's always secretly been.
But the level of craft is still the main thing. It's not easy to put together a resonant, sweeping, universe-conquering pop song, but Swift makes it look easy. Every one of her albums sounds like a lesser artist's greatest-hits album; 1989 makes her five for five. Swift's albums aren't singles-plus-filler; they're singles-plus-potential-singles, and the songs that never dominated the radio are just the ones she never got around to releasing as singles. Swift's voice is an instrument capable of both colossal uplift and soft empathy; she's kept the lost-little-kid openness that made her so appealing in the first place. 1989 gleams and shimmers the way all her past albums have gleamed and shimmered; they're just playing around with a new set of stylistic toys. But she's using those toys to deceptive ends. On first listen, 1989 sounds like the resistance-is-futile robo-pop hydrogen bomb that Katy Perry's Prism tried and failed to be. And it is that. But it's also a concept album, a '70s singer-songwriter-style song cycle about the beginning and end of a relationship. On her last album, Swift was lyrically bragging about how many James Taylor albums she owned. This time around, she's not showing those records off, lyrically or musically, but she's quietly emulating them.
Most of the songs on 1989 seem to concern Harry Styles, the most visible member of One Direction, who Swift dated a while back. She never names him, or even alludes to his name, though clues are there if you want to mine for them. (She makes constant reference to a car crash; she's probably really alluding to a serious snowmobile crash that she and Styles apparently once got into.) But the specifics don't matter as much as the subtle but genuine arc that the LP traces. It starts with excitement and play and intrigue, and it blossoms into something deeper around the time "Out Of The Woods" kicks in. But things turn bad quickly, and most of the album is Swift dealing with a breakup. She gets fire-eyed pissed on "Bad Blood," cajoles on "I Wish You Would," provides an exact roadmap for how to rekindle things on "How You Get The Girl." By the time closing track "Clean" kicks in, she's convinced herself that she's OK with the whole thing, that she's ready to move on.
The trick with this whole concept-album thing is that all the songs stand on their own; they don't depend on the album's narrative (which, to be honest, I could just be making up anyway). First single "Shake It Off" (probably my least favorite Swift song ever, at least if we're not including the "Santa Baby" cover from the Target-exclusive Christmas EP she released a few years ago) is Swift's stab at "Mickey" or "Hollaback Girl" or "London Bridge" or Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" — the chanty brat-out that recasts Swift as a mall-pop auteur while at the same time cheerily snarling at haters and making self-deprecating jokes about Swift's own dancing ability. (Seriously, "Shake It Off" is doing too much.) Heard in the context of the album, though, it's her early attempt to act like the relationship never really mattered that much to her, before a sadder reality kicks in. "Style" is the song for the inevitable Target ad campaign, if that's what you want it to be, but it's also a horny plea for a fling to become something bigger. "Bad Blood" could be the Katy Perry ethering that wags are already calling it, but the lyrics could just as well be directed at an ex. "I Know Places," coming so close to the end of the album, isn't just a whispered crush song; it's Swift's attempt to blame the relationship's end, retroactively, on the paparazzi who wouldn't stop hounding the couple. And then there's the album-opening "Welcome To New York," a tired thinkpiece subject even before the city of New York named Swift its Global Welcome Ambassador.
Since Swift dropped "Welcome To New York," self-righteous New Yorkers have been clogging up my Twitter timeline making jokes about it. Swift is now a jet-set oligarch using the city as a cultural signifier without thinking about what that means. I've seen people link the song, in vague ways, to rising police brutality and apartment rents. If you think as Taylor Swift as a brand, a song like "Welcome To New York" another indicator, like another DIY space shutting down or another corporate chain opening a flagship store in Williamsburg, that New York is not what it once was. But if you think of Taylor Swift as a human being (which is what she is), then "Welcome To New York" is a song about moving to New York. And as someone who once moved to New York, I find the song weirdly, terribly moving. Swift moved to the city in April. She's 24. I moved there when I was 25 and at least as clueless about it as Swift seems to be. The song is a little thin and underwritten, sure; "kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats" should not be the second line on your blockbuster pop album. But its Human League bleep-riff does something to me, and so does the wide-open wonderment in Swift's voice. I felt a bit of that same feeling when I moved to New York. The crucial distinction is that the other feeling in there — the whole oh shit, I've eaten Ramen every night for months and I'm still falling into deep debt thing — isn't there. It makes sense. Swift is richer than God, and the Russian landlord who won't fix your ceiling leak is not a part of her New York experience. She is singing about what she knows. (There's empathy in there too: "You can want who you want / Boys and boys and girls and girls." There's nothing radical about that sentiment, but she's spent her life in exurban Pennsylvania and then Nashville, and she's amped about the idea that people can be who they are in her new hometown. It's sweet.) Really, it's smart for the city to snatch up her endorsement now, before the year-two ugh, fuck this place feeling sets in and she can't convincingly feign enthusiasm for the word "bodega." And in the album's larger story, "Welcome To New York" isn't about a boy, but it is about a sense of possibility, of that idea that you can do whatever you want. It creates a context for a time in your life when, say, falling in love with the guy from One Direction might start to look like a good idea.
That whole relationship-based album structure allows Taylor to do some new things with her persona, finding new wrinkles for a character that's been established for years. She's grown-up now, and she's not singing about high school crushes anymore. She never sings directly about sex, but she at least alludes to the idea that she could be fucking in ways that she's never been comfortable doing before. And she also plays around with her tabloid image as someone who's desperate to keep a relationship together but who just can't do it. On "Blank Space," for example, she has fun with the idea that she's really secretly a maneater, someone who absorbs lives completely but temporarily. "I can make guys good for a weekend," she cackles. Or "I'm dying to see how this one ends." She knows it's ending. She doesn't care.
The album's structure, though, is less interesting than the building materials she's using this time around. After all, there have been many, many relationship-centric concept albums with more to say about the ways people fall in love than 1989. But it'll be a while before we hear a collection of polished steel hooks that gleam quite like this. Now that Taylor is no longer making cosmetic attempts to sound country, even a little bit, she's openly announcing herself as a polyglot for the first time ever. And it's fascinating to see her absorbing a new set of influences and using them as raw material. 1989 is named after the year of Swift's birth, but she also intends it as an homage to late-'80s pop music. She's mentioned Madonna and Annie Lennox as inspirations, but there's more 1989 going on on 1989. "Clean" is a Richard Marx power ballad sung more sweetly than Marx could ever manage. "I Wish You Would" has more of that classic Edge guitar tone than anything on U2's own new Songs Of Innocence. "How You Get The Girl" has a Debbie Gibson sparkle to it. Pop music in 1989: disco and new wave and Prince's Minneapolis sound had all been fully integrated, Latin freestyle had helped lay a foundation for the NKOTB-style teen-pop that would follow, craggy rockers like Don Henley and Tom Petty were playing around with keyboards and getting a whole lot richer by doing it, and acid house and rap were just starting to make mainstream-pop inroads. There was a pop mainstream in 1989, but it was in a messy and interesting place. If there's a pop mainstream in 2014, that mainstream belongs entirely to one person, and that person is Taylor Swift. She's the whole of it. And she's in a messy and interesting place, too.
But 1989 is only part of the story on 1989. She's picking up things from right now, too. "Out Of The Woods" and "I Wish You Would," the two songs that fun.'s Jack Antonoff co-wrote and produced, layer ecstatic sounds into ungainly pyramids just like Bleachers, Antonoff's solo side project. "Blank Space" and "I Know Places" both have some of the tense minimalism of Swift's friend Lorde, though she gives both songs colossal and cathartic choruses that Lorde would never attempt. "Style" has a blurry synthpop romanticism that suggest Swift has been spending some time with the Drive soundtrack. The bonus track "Wonderland" swipes Rihanna and The-Dream's echoing eh-eh-ehs. Most confoundingly, "Bad Blood" has the exact same monolithic drum stomp that the Neptunes used on the Clipse's "Grindin'." Seriously: Taylor Swift is singing on the "Grindin'" drums in 2014. It's a real thing.
But even as she pulls in all these things from outside, she is still doing Taylor Swift things with them. Consider, for example, "Wildest Dreams," which has Swift adapting Lana Del Rey's phrasings so baldly that it has to be intentional. If "Wildest Dreams" is Swift's Lana Del Rey song, though, it's still a Lana Del Rey song that Lana Del Rey would never record. She would never rewrite Madonna's "Live To Tell" as a 2017 prom theme, and that's what Swift does here. Del Rey might not ever write a song this obviously, crushingly catchy, either.
Swift's only obvious pop-dominance competition is Beyoncé, and Beyoncé will never make an album of songs as obvious as these. On her last album, Beyoncé pulled in a web of collaborators from around the pop system and various Soundcloud underground, and she bent them all to her will. Swift will probably not ever try anything like that. That kind of adventurousness is not hers. Even on 1989, when she's venturing further afield musically than ever before, she's still working with battle-hardened pop-music professionals like Max Martin and Shellback and Jack Antonoff and Ryan Tedder and Imogen Heap. Her music is as bright and as friendly and ever. But these songs are hits, and hits have a way of enduring. They will sound warm and welcoming, and they will dominate pop radio until two years from now, when the Swift album-release machine kicks into gear again. Taylor Swift remains the benign tyrant of popular music, and we should respect motherfucking craft when we hear it.
1989 is out now on Big Machine.

Horse track betting is a game of chance, but it is also game of skill and expertise. The more you know, the more likely you are to win. That's why horse wagering is often referred to as the "Smart Man's Bet." However developing your own system is key.
Betting the Triple Crown events is now easier than ever. We recommend the top sportbooks that allow Horse Race wagering. They offer the fairest odds, fast payouts, and superior customer service.
Win Bet: Betting that your horse will come in 1st.
Place Bet: Betting that your horse will come in at least 1st or 2nd.
Show Bet: Betting that your horse will come in the money 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
Quinella: Must ask to play Quinella at window, then chose your top two horses you think, has a chance of coming in 1st or 2nd. If both of your horses finished 1st or 2nd you won.
Daily Double: You must chose the winner of two consecutive race, in advance. Most of the time Daily Doubles are the 1st and 2nd race, more and more tracks are having Daily Doubles every two races all day.	Double As in the Daily Double you pick in advance the Quinella in Quinella the up coming two races.
Big "Q" "Q" (Quinella): You must tell the teller that you want to play the Big "Q". Next chose your top two horses you think, has a chance of coming in 1st or 2nd. If both of your horses came 1st or 2nd. You then must turn in your winning ticket before the start of the next race you chose as your second leg. If You picked the 2nd Quinella along with the 1st Quinella you won the Big "Q". If you won 1st Quinella and not the 2nd no money will be paid out.
Exacta or Perfecta: You must tell the teller that you want to pay an Exacta or Perfecta. You then must chose the horse who will win an then chose the horse that will come in 2nd. They must come in the order you said. It would be most effective it box or reverse this play, in case your 1st choose is 2nd and your 2nd choice wins.
Twin Trifecta & Superfecta: To play Twin you must chose two races during the day and tell the teller that you want to play the Twin Trifecta or Twin Superfecta. If you win the first ticket, you must turn in that ticket and place the money on the second leg or race you chose. If you lose the second ticket most tracks will pay you on the amount of the first ticket.
As you grow more comfortable with handicapping, your betting will become more sophisticated. Two commonly used wagering tactics are boxes and wheels.
A Box is when you have two, three, or more horses that you predict will finish in the top positions but you are not necessarily sure of the order in which they will finish. Let's try an Exacta Box involving two horses. Number 1 and Number 4. It's essentially two Exacta wagers,1-4 and 4-1. You would say to the mutual clerk: "$2.00 Exacta box, 1 and 4." That bet costs $4.00. No matter the order in which the 1 and 4 horses finish, you collect if they are the first two horses across the line.
The Trifecta Box works the same way with three or more horses. Let's say that you figure the 6 horse will finish on the board with the 1 and 4. You would say: "$1.00 Trifecta box, 1,4, and 6." With the $1 minimum wager on Trifectas, a three-horse Trifecta box costs $6.00.
A Wheel is used when you have high confidence in one horse and are unsure about the remainder of the field. For instance, in an Exacta Wheel, you can take the 2 horse and wheel it with the rest of the field. You would say "$2 Exacta wheel 2,all." In a 12-horse fired, a $2 Exacta Wheel would cost $22 for 11 different Exacta combinations. Trifecta Wheels work similarly, and you also can do a Partial Wheel.
Daily Double Part-Wheel You like the 6 or 7 horse to win the first half of the Daily Double, and the 8,9 or 10 horse to win the second half. You would say: "$2 Daily Double Part Wheel, 6,7 with 8,9,10." (Cost: $12).

Le corps de cavalerie de l'armée de Virginie du Nord est une unité de cavalerie de l'armée confédérée pendant la guerre de Sécession. Commençant comme une brigade à la fin de 1861, devenant une division en 1862, il devient enfin un corps en 1863 ; il servit sur le théâtre oriental jusqu'à la reddition de l'armée de Virginie du Nord en avril 1865.

Formation et développement sous les ordres du major général J. E. B. Stuart

La montée de la cavalerie de l'armée de Virginie du Nord peut être presque entièrement liée à la carrière et aux efforts d'organisation de son premier commandant, le major général J. E. B. Stuart. Au cours de l'été 1861, devant la formation de l'armée de Virginie du Nord, la cavalerie confédérée sur le théâtre oriental est limitée à des régiments ou des unités plus petites, affectés aux districts ou de plus grandes formations. Il convient de noter le 1st Virginia Cavalry de Stuart, le 30th Virginia Cavalry et la légion de Hampton de Caroline du Sud. Des recommandations et des approbations des généraux P. G. T. Beauregard, Joseph E. Johnston et James Longstreet aboutissent à la promotion au grade de brigadier général de Stuart en septembre 1861 ; et la création d'un système unifié de brigade de cavalerie sous ses ordres. Le  la division de cavalerie est construite par addition de quatre brigades en moins d'un an. Le , le corps de cavalerie est finalement créé avec six brigades dans deux divisions.

Les principaux engagements de la division/corps de cavalerie sous le commandement de Stuart comprennent :
 Le raid autour de l'armée de McClellan lors de la campagne de la Péninsule
 Le raid contre le général Pope (première bataille de Rappahannock Station)
 La défense de Crampton's Gap (campagne du Maryland)
 Le raid autour de l'armée de McClellan (à la suite de la bataille d'Antietam)
 Le raid au-delà de la rivière Rappahannock
 La bataille de Fredericksburg : arrêt de l'attaque de Franklin
 La bataille de Chancellorsville (Stuart commande temporairement le deuxième corps)
 La bataille de Brandy Station
 Le raid autour de l'armée de Meade lors de la campagne de Gettysburg
 La défense et couverture de Lee à la suite de la bataille de Gettysburg
 La défense et couverture de Lee contre Sheridan lors de la campagne de la Wilderness de 1864
À la suite de la mort de Stuart le 11 mai 1864, le corps de cavalerie est scindée en deux divisions, sous les ordres de Hampton et de Fitz Lee.

Commandement du lieutenant général Wade Hampton

Le deuxième commandant, le riche planteur de Caroline du Sud Wade Hampton III, a servi en tant que commandant de brigade et de division sous les ordres de J. E. B. Stuart. Lorsque la cavalerie est scindée après la mort de Stuart, Hampton continue d'assurer le commandement de sa division pendant trois mois jusqu'à ce que le général Robert E. Lee reforme le corps de Cavalerie le , sous le commandement de Hampton. Il dirige d'abord le corps en commençant avec les missions de protection de l'armée le long de la rivière Pamunkey dans des batailles telles que la bataille de Haw's Shop. À l'origine, Hampton est originaire de Charleston, en Caroline du Sud, et continue de commander les unités de cavalerie de la Caroline de sa division. Poursuivant à commander pendant le siège de Petersburg, le général Lee décide de décharger ses unités de cavalerie de Caroline, y compris Hampton, les envoyant vers l'arrière pour aider et défendre la Caroline du Sud dans l'armée du Tennessee, alors que le major général William T. Sherman commence sa marche de la Géorgie jusqu'à Columbia, en Caroline du Sud. Hampton et les unités de cavalerie de Carolines sont transportées par chemin de fer jusqu'à Columbia, et combattent dans des actions de retardement et de défense contre Sherman. Les principaux combats sous les ordres de Hampton comprennent :
 Bataille de Haw's Shop
 Bataille de Trevilian Station
 Raid de Beefsteak
 Siège de Petersburg

Commandement du major général Fitzhugh Lee

Après le départ du général Hampton, le major général Fitzhugh Lee prend le commandement du corps de cavalerie restant plus petit, en février 1865. Il a le commandement du corps depuis l'évacuation de Petersburg et de Richmond jusqu'à la campagne d'Appomattox, et la reddition de l'armée de Virginie du Nord. Les principaux engagements sous le commandement de Fitzhugh Lee comprennent :
 La défense de Lee au cours de la campagne d'Appomattox
 La dernière charge de cavalerie, le 9 avril 1865, à Farmville, en Virginie

What Are Rod Bearings?
by Lyle Burwell
In automotive mechanics a rod bearing is a plain bearing (as opposed to a ball bearing) used to hold spinning shafts in place where support is required to keep the rod straight over the course of its run. The phrase is also used as shorthand for connecting rod bearings, which are quite a different matter. If it is suggested to you that a problem with your car is caused by worn or faulty rod bearings, it is vital that you clarify which type of bearing is being identified.
A rod bearing is a two-piece (top and bottom) band of smooth metal. In the case of driveshaft rod bearings, for example, the top half of the bearing is a semi-circle that is mounted to the undercarriage of the vehicle. The bottom half of the bearing is bolted to the top half once the driveshaft is in place. A pinhole through the top half of the bearing allows lubrication to reach the inside. This permits the shaft to spin within the bearing without generating excessive heat.
Connecting Rod Bearings
Connecting rod bearings (also called rod-end bearings) are a component in the piston-to-driveshaft portion of the powertrain. This spherical articulating joint is also known as a heim joint in the United States and a rose joint in the United Kingdom. The device was invented in Nazi Germany and was discovered by the Allies in a German plane shot down over England in 1940. Patent rights were given to the Rose Bearing Company in the UK and the Heim Company for North America. Rod-end bearings connect the piston rod (also called the gudgeon or wrist pin) to the bearing journal. In this context "journal" refers to the section of the piston rod that contacts and turns the driveshaft. Replacing the connecting rod bearings is a standard step in an engine rebuild.
Spun Rods
If you are told that your rod bearing is spun, it means a breakdown in the rod bearing lubrication system occurred and that left the rod bearing is not lubricated. The shaft, spinning inside a dry bearing, heats up very quickly. The shaft expands under the heat to the point where it grabs and detaches the bearing from its fastenings. The bearing is then essentially welded to the rod and spins with it. Driving a car with a spun rod for any length of time will heat up the rod-end bearing, resulting in throwing a piston rod, which will destroy the engine beyond repair
Recognizing Bearing Problems
Failure to recognize and correct rod bearing problems will lead to catastrophic engine failure. Most modern passenger vehicles have sealed transmissions. This allows the driveshaft to spin while submerged in transmission fluid and makes rod bearing failure very rare. Unfortunately, sealed units eliminate the need for a transmission fluid reservoir, which was the earliest warning system for transmission fluid leaks. Bearing problems should be suspected when a persistent ticking that increases with rpm is audible.

ON a water-logged day in Brooklyn, everything seems muted and muffled -- the grays and browns of the buildings, the soggy drumbeat of the rain, the leaden thwock of the car wheels shooting out sprays of oily water as they rumble over manhole covers.
And then there is Rosie Perez, who, rain or shine, is about as muted and muffled as a stick of dynamite on a short fuse.
Very few actors and even fewer actresses these days seem as if they're from anyplace recognizable in terms of geography, class and ethnicity, if they can help it. When she started acting, Ms. Perez was advised to take classes to lose her Brooklyn inflections and mannerisms. Instead, she has built an improbable acting career, which began with a chance encounter with the director Spike Lee, on being pretty much what she is: an intense, voluble, working-class Puerto Rican from Bushwick who is indelibly from her own unfashionable patch of turf.
Even with a sympathetic female director like Ms. Savoca, getting the part took some doing. And whether she can attract the range of roles she would like remains to be seen. But so far, Ms. Perez has managed to put together an eclectic palate of films and earned a measure of respect and visibility while finding herself in an intensely conflicted relationship with the powers that be in the film business. Even she is not sure where the road leads from here.
She's wearing a gray zippered jogging jacket from the Gap, a darker gray ribbed shirt from Banana Republic, black slacks and black Sketchers boots, and goes on like an animated wind-up doll with a voice from the streets, talking of Knickerbocker Park (Knick-a-bocka Pawk) or mimicking the singsong Puerto Rican street talk of the neighborhood where she grew up.
A blushing, deferential flower Ms. Perez is not, but given the path to her film career, it is no surprise. Ms. Perez is obsessively closemouthed about anything other than the broad outlines of her upbringing. A few questions about things as innocuous as where she went to high school or the year of her birth generated icy accusations of tabloid journalism and a testy call from her publicist. She was born somewhere between 1964 and '66 -- she declines to be more precise -- in the middle of a family of 11 children in Bushwick. Her father was in the merchant marine and her mother had been a singer in Puerto Rico before moving to Brooklyn.
She apparently spent part of the time living in group homes or with relatives, particularly an aunt with whom she lived while in high school. She apparently got into her share of trouble, but looks back on a place that for all its rough edges was definitely a neighborhood.
Her first artistic interest was dance, not film. But after high school, she moved to Los Angeles to study marine biology at Los Angeles City College and West Lost Angeles College. One night, a talent coordinator for the television show ''Soul Train'' picked her out at a club and signed her up to dance on the show. Before long, she was choreographing a video and stage show for the singer Bobby Brown.
Her big break came, in a contemporary variation of an old Hollywood legend, when Mr. Lee met her while celebrating his birthday in 1988 at a Los Angeles club called the Funky Reggae. He told her to call him, and when she did -- a month later -- he ended up casting her as his girlfiend in ''Do the Right Thing,'' which begins with her gyrating and shadowboxing to Public Enemy's ''Fight the Power.'' Subsequent films have included Jim Jarmusch's ''Night on Earth,'' ''White Men Can't Jump'' and ''Fearless,'' Peter Weir's 1993 film about the survivors of an airline disaster, which earned her an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress.
She has also continued dance and choreography. She has produced several shows, including a 1993 HBO series called ''Rosie Perez Presents Society's Ride,'' featuring live performances by rap, rhythm-and-blues and reggae acts. She has begun writing and doctoring scripts herself. And she carries on a heavy schedule of benefit work, like a recent appearance on behalf of an innovative writing program she participates in at the Bedford Hills (N.Y.) Correctional Facility for Women.
DESPITE her age -- she was 19 when Mr. Lee found her -- she has stood out as an obsessively entrepreneurial actress. Ms. Savoca said what struck her most about Ms. Perez was the unlikely combination of elements in her work. Ms. Perez, she said, is an untutored actress who works out of great gut instincts. She is a choreographer, Ms. Savoca continued, whose acting is informed by the timing and discipline at the heart of dance, and as a producer she is animated by shrewd calculation that is in a way precisely the opposite of her trash-talking, street-kid image.
Still, ''The 24-Hour Woman'' is another example of why Ms. Perez probably needs all the feistiness she brings to her career. Ms. Savoca, whose family background is Argentine and Italian, and who grew up in the Bronx, brings strong feminist instincts to her films. She originally thought of Ms. Perez's character, Grace, as a Hispanic woman, but the idea got such a cool reception that she rewrote the script to make her Italian. She initially offered Ms. Perez a secondary role as a production secretary.
Another admirer, the casting director Sheila Jaffe, said Ms. Perez at times may risk being perceived as too outspoken and aggressive for her own good.
But she thinks even if Ms. Perez does not conform to the Hollywood norm of user-friendly, blue-eyed blondes, she is smart enough and talented enough to make things work.
Ms. Perez's career for now figures to branch in different directions. She has recently finished ''King of the Jungle,'' directed by her fiance, Seth SviRosenfeld, and also featuring her friends John Leguizamo and Marisa Tomei (''I play a pothead lesbian,'' she said. ''It's not a comedy.'') She also finished work on the Dreamworks animated film: ''El Dorado: City of Gold,'' which also features the voices of Kevin Klein and Kenneth Branagh.
If the path of Ms. Perez's career could go down various roads, the path of her life seems to lead inevitably toward Brooklyn. Whether she's getting her Greek salad at the Clinton Hill Diner or walking across the street for coffee at Tillie's, Ms. Perez is greeted with a matter-of-fact ''Hey, Rosie'' whenever she walks in the door. She keeps an apartment in Los Angeles, but spends most of her time in New York, a balance she would like to maintain.
Aren't there plenty of dog-eat-dog people in New York?

Hi I am 20 years old and from the uk.
I have been suffering from bulimia since I was 16.
It started off with me purging once a week after my dinner, then I would do it every night after dinner. strangley enough I ate ok during the day it only seemed to be after my dinner in the evening.
I would wake in the mornings and eat an apple...for lunch it would be a salad and I would eat whatever my mum or dad had made for dinner but always purge after it. I was so secretive I would take bin liners (garbage bags) into my room and do it in them so I could dispose of them after...I felt disgusting but nothing seemed to stop me. I was loosing weight my dancing was going great and I had gained a course in London for my finishing year...moving to London for any dancer in the uk is a really big thing!!!
I got there and the pressure was on.. Not only to be the best in the class but to be the skinniest. I had moved out of my family home and no longer had anyone around to look out for me.. I was free to do what I wanted. I started to discover the joys (I hate to use that word but sadly that's how it felt) of binging on fatty foods knowing that I could but wouldn't get fat. It took over my life and although I continued to graduate college, I had become severely depressed and would constantly find myself crying in frustration with my body even if I had only put on a POUND! I would stay up till 5 in the morning eating everything in site even taking trips down to the 24hour food shops to by masses of food....I would then sleep all day, missing out on auditions and dance classes.....and the vicious circle would begin again.
I ended up gaining about 2stone due to the fact I was no longer dancing and all I did with my life was binge and purge. I ended up moving back home in December 2009 to "get better". I am no longer dancing which I miss greatly, I have lost a lot of confidence and my bulimia is still here ruling my life. I have lost friends because of it, missed out on exciting things because I would rather be at home stuffing my face, I am tired looking and have no energy anymore. I am causing upset and distress to my family but most importantly my passion and all the hard work for my dancing has gone out the window because of this silly illness.
I really want to get help but I find the doctors intimidating and I never know what say to them???
I hope one day I beat this and get the motivation to become what I have always wanted to be and start dancing again..

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, portugalski nogometaš, * 5. februar 1985, Funchal, Madeira, Portugalska.

Začetek kariere
Rodil se je 5. februarja  1985 v Funchalu na Madeiri, materi Mariji Dolores dos Santos Aveiro in očetu Joséu Dinisu Aveiro. Odraščal je s starejšim bratom Hugom, ima pa še dve starejši sestri Elmo in Katio. Katia je pevka in je na Portugalskem znana pod vzdevkom »Ronalda«. Ime Ronaldo je na Portugalskem zelo redko, Cristiano pa je dobil ime po ameriškem predsedniku Ronaldu Reaganu.

Z nogometom se je začel ukvarjati, ko je bil star tri leta in kasneje pri šestih letih, ko je začel hoditi v šolo. V mladosti je navijal za klub Benfica, čeprav se je kasneje pridružil Sportingu. Njegova prva ekipa je bila amaterska Andorinha, za katero je začel igrati pri osmih letih. Po letu 1995, ko je bil star deset let, je njegov sloves na Portugalskem začel rasti. Obe najboljši ekipi Madeire sta si želeli njegov podpis - CS Marítimo in CD Nacional. Boljša ekipa, Marítimo, je zamudila sestanek z managerjem Andorinhe Ruiem Santosem in tako je Ronaldo podpisal z Nacionalom. Po uspešni kampanji pri Nacionalu, ga je odkupil Sporting.

Pri Sportingu je začel trenirati v Alcocheti, znanem Sportingovem mladinskem pogonu. Tam se mu je pridružila tudi njegova mama, saj so v klubu menili, da potrebuje podporo. Za Sporting je debitiral proti Moreirenseju in takoj zabil 2 gola. Nastopil pa je tudi za Portugalsko U-17 reprezentanco na evropskem prvenstvu. Na tem prvenstvu je vzbudil zanimanje Liverpoola, ker pa je bil star 16 let, so menili, da potrebuje še nekaj časa da se razvije v pravega igralca. Je pa kasneje Ronaldo vzbudil pozornost Sira Alexa Fergusona na tekmi za otvoritev stadiona Alvalade XXI, ko je Sporting premagal United 3-1 z Ronaldom na čelu, poleti 2003. Nad Ronaldovo predstavo so bili navdušeni vsi - prav tako igralci in uprava Manchester Uniteda, ki je teden kasneje poslala Sportingu ponudbo težko 12,24 milijonov £. Sporting ponudbe ni mogel zavrniti in tako je Ronaldo postal najdražji najstnik v angleškem nogometu - vse dokler ni United odštel već za Wayna Rooneya. Podedoval je številko 7, ki so jo nosili nekateri najboljši igralci, ki so kdaj koli oblekli dres Manchester Uniteda: George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona in David Beckham. Čeprav je na začetku hotel številko 28, ki je bila njegova številka pri Sportingu in tudi zato, ker ni maral pritiska svete sedmice, se je na koncu vseeno sprijaznil in jo prvič oblekel na tekmi proti Boltonu, ko je v igro prišel v šestdeseti minuti in takoj navdušil. Ronaldova predstava je bila odlična in Rdeči Vragi so dobili novo zvezdo, najstniško senzacijo - Cristiana Ronalda.

Iz sezone v sezono je njegova nogometna vrednost rasla. Njegove koncentracije nista mogla zmesti niti prepir z Van Nistelrooyem, ki je poleti 2006 zapustil klub in incident na svetovnem prvenstvu v Nemčiji 2006 (Anglija - Portugalska). Po incidentu na SP v Nemčiji so se pojavila ugibanja o njegovem prestopu k Realu iz Madrida, ki pa jih je Ronaldo utišal, ko je zvestobo Unitedu obljubil vse do leta 2012. Kljub incidentu je bil po prvenstvu Ronaldo še vedno ljubljenec navijačev Manchester Uniteda. Povsem drugače pa je bilo drugje po Angliji, kjer je bil vedno deležen žvižgov in žaljenja, ampak odgovoril je na najboljši možen način - z odlično igro in goli. Tako je do decembra 2006 postal eden najvplivnejših igralcev Manchester Uniteda in na njegovih krilih je klub osvojil naslov prvaka angleške Premier League 2007 in 2008.

Sezona 2006/07
V sezoni 2006/07 je Ronaldo prejel nagrado za najboljšega igralca leta po izboru igralcev Premier League in najboljšega mladega igralca Premier League in je tako šele drugi, ki mu je uspelo osvojiti obe lovoriki v istem letu, pred njim je to uspelo le še Andyju Grayu leta 1977. V letu 2007 pa je osvojil tudi nagrado Igralec leta navijačev in je tako prvi, ki mu je uspelo vse troje v enem letu. V lasti ima tudi rekord za največ golov sredinskega igralca v eni sezoni. V sezoni 2006/07 je zabil 17 golov.

Sezona 2007/08
V sezoni 2007/08 je bil proglašen za najboljšega igralca na svetu in je prejel zlato žogo. Istega leta je z Manchestrom osvojil tudi ligo prvakov. Sezono kasneje, je poskušal vse, da bi obranil naslov najboljšega igralca sveta, a mu je po zmagi v finalu Lige prvakov ta naslov vzel nogometaš katalonske Barcelone, argentinec Lionel Messi. Od sezone 2009/10 je član Reala Madrid.

Sezona 2013/14
18. avgusta 2013 je opravil 200. nastop za Real z zmago nad Real Betisom 2-1. Cristiano Ronaldo ni zadel v prvih dveh tekmah La Lige, je pa zadel na 3. za domačo zmago nad Athletic Bilbaom 3-1.

15. septembra je podaljšal pogodbo z Realom do leta 2018 in povišal plačo na 17 milijonov na leto. Postal je najbolje plačan igralec.

17. septembra 2014 je na tekmi v Istanbulu proti Galatasarayu zadel svoj 2. hat-trick v Ligi Prvakov v karieri. 5 dni kasneje je zadel 2 gola proti Getafeju(4-1), 2. gol je zadel s peto v sodnikovem podaljšku. Prebil se je med 5 najboljših strelcev kluba v zgodovini. Na svoji 100. tekmi v evropskih tekmovanjih proti Copenhagnu je zadel dvakrat za 4-0. 5. oktobra je zadel proti Levanteju v 94. minuti za zmago Real Madrida 3-2. V Ligi Prvakov 2013-14 je dvakrat zatresel mrežo Juventusa za novo domačo zmago 2-1. Tako je postal 3. najboljši strelev v Ligi Prvakov s 57. goli. 30. oktobra pa je dosegel 18. hat-trick v La Ligi proti Sevilli (7-3).

Na svojem 106. gostujočem nastopu za Galaktike proti Rayu Vallecanu (3-2) je dosegel 100. gostujoči zadetek v vseh tekmovanjih. 5. novembra 2013 je podrl rekord po številu golov v enem koledarskem letu v evropskih tekmovanjih, ko je izenačil na rezultat 2-2 proti Juventusu. 9. novembra 2013 je dosegel 18. hat-trick v La Ligi (1 gol iz igre,1 iz enajtmetrovke,1 iz prostega strela) proti Realu Sociedadu (5-1). Bil je pri številki 20 medtem ko je vodil le še Ronaldinho s 21.

Ob zadetkih 32 na 22 tekmah se je govorilo, da je v ''najboljši formi v življenju''. 23. novembra 2013 ga je v Almerii v 52. minuti zamenjal Jese zaradi poškodbe. 10. decembra se je vrnil z golom proti Copenhagnu. Na vrhu

Sezona 2014/15

V sezoni 2014-15 je Ronaldo prvo tekmo odigral proti Sevilli v okviru UEFA Super Cup. Zadel je dvakrat in odločil tekmo(2-0). Nato se je srečal z mestim rivalom Atletico Madridom v španskem super pokalu. Na prvi tekmi na Bernabeu je igrišče zapustil po prvem polčasu zaradi poškodbe. Končalo se je z 1-1. V povratni tekmi na Calderonu je prav tako igral le en polčas. A ostalo je pri rezultatu 1-0(1-2), ko je v 2. minuti igre zadel Mario Mandžukić in tako je Real izgubil boj za 6 lovorik v eni sezoni. Prvi gol v La Ligi je zadel na prvi tekmi proti Cordobi. Kasneje se je poškodoval in zaigral 13. septembra proti Atletico Madridu ter izgubil z 1-2, čeprav je zadel z enajtmetrovke.

20. septembra je zadel prvi hat-trick na gostovanju pri Deportivu. V naslednjem krogu je zadel štirikrat proti Elcheju vključno z dvema enajtmetrovkama. To je bil njegov 25. hat-trick v vseh tekmovanjih za Real Madrid, 3 hat-tricke za rekorderjem Alfredom Di Stefanom. Prebil se je tudi med najboljših 10 strelcev v La Ligi vseh časov. Imel je izjemno statistiko: 186 golov na 169 tekmah v La Ligi.

5. oktobra je zadel še en hat-trick za zmago nad Athletic Bilbaom 5-0, teden kasneje še 2 gola proti Levanteju za zmago 5-0. 22. oktobra je zadel prvi gol proti Liverpoolu za zmago 3-0 na gostovanju v Ligi Prvakov in postal prvi, ki je zadel desetkrat zapored na gostovanju v UEFA Ligi Prvakov. Z golom proti Barceloni(3-1) je zadel 15. gol na 7. tekmi v La Ligi in postavil nov rekord, ki ga je nosil že pokojni Ferenc Puskas.

6. decembra 2014 je zadel nov hat-trick proti Celti Vigo(3-0). Zadel je 200. gol na 178. tekmi, 23. hat-trick v La Ligi ter postavil nov rekord. Med tednom je zadel še 72. zadetek v Ligi Prvakov in se približal Messiju na 2 gola. 20. decembra je z Real Madridom osvojil še 4. lovoriko v letu 2014: Svetovno Klubsko Prvenstvo 2014. Na tem turnirju v Maroku je dobil srebrno žogo, zlato je dobil njegov soigralec Sergio Ramos.

4. januarja 2015 je zadel 1. proti Valencii na Mestalli kljub porazu 1-2 in postal najboljši strelec Real Madrida na gostovanjih z 88. goli na 91. tekmah. 12. januarja 2015 je osvojil zlato žogo. Tako je potrdil vlogo favorita za najboljšega nogometaša na svetu v letu 2014. S 3. zlato žogo se je pridružil Zinedinu Zidanu in Ronaldu de Limi. Le še Messi je bil pred njim s štirimi. 24.1. je Ronaldo dobil 9. rdeči karton v karieri proti Córdobi ob zmagi 2-1 zaradi udarca nad Edimarjem. S tem so ga kaznovali za 2 tekmi prepovedi igranja. Po odsluženi kazni je njegova forma strmo padla. Za nameček se je obnovila poškodba kolena, ki ga je mučila na SP 2014 v Braziliji.

18. februarja 2015 je Ronaldo zadel gol proti Schalkeju v LP za zmago 2-0. V 2. tekmi osmine finala proti Schalkeju je zadel dvakrat ob porazu 3-4 in postal najboljši strelec v zgodovini LP.

5.4.2015 je CR7 1.v karieri zadel 5 golov na 1 tekmi, vključno s 8-minutnim hat-trickom, ob porazu Granade 9-1. S temi zadetki se je izenačil z rekordom Alfreda Di Stéfana

v 28.hat-trickih za Real Madrid. Ob tem ga je soigralec Karim Benzema označil z besedo ''fenomen''. 8. aprila je zadel 300. golza klub ob zmagi 2-0 nad Rayem Vallecanom. 10 dni pozneje je z golom proti Málagi postal 1. igralec v zgodovini nogometa, ki je zadel 50 ali več golov v petih sezonah. 2. maja je v Sevilli podrl rekord Alfreda Di Stéfana s 29. hat-trikom za Real Madrid. 13.5. je zadel 307. zadetek iz enajstmetrovke v polfinalu LIge Prvakov. Nasprotnik je bil Juventus in tekma se je končala 1-1, kar je bilo premalo za finale LP 2015.  S tem zadetkom pa se je z Alfredom Di Stéfanom izenačil kot 2. najboljši strelec real Madrida v zgodovin. Zaostajal je le še za Raúlom, je pa tudi z Messijem postal najbolši strelec LP v zgodovini. 23. maja je odigral zadnjo tekmo Real Madrida sezone 2014/15 proti Getafeju(to je bil njegov 200. nastop v La Ligi in 300. v vseh tekmovanjih). dosegel je 8. hat-trik v sezoni in izenačil rekorn Lionela Messija (hat-trikov v La Ligi v 1 sezoni). S tem je izboljšal osebni rekornd iz sezone 2011/12, ko je zadel 60 golov. V tej sezoni pa je dosegel 61 zadetkov. Dal je 48 golov (2 manj od Messijevega rekorda iz leta 2011/12), v sezoni 2011/12 pa je dosegel število 46. Kot rezultat je dobil Pichichi kot najboljši strelec v Španiji 2. zapored. Osvojil je tudi Evropski zlati čevelj kot najboljši strelec z 10. zadetki (toliko sta jih dosegla tudi Messi in Neymar) LP 3. zapored in 4. v karieri. Sezona se je končala v razočaranju, saj je Real Madrid zasedel 2. mesto v La Ligi, izpadel v polfinalu Lige prvakov.

Giant mesquite table
This large dining room table was made from Mesquite, a very hard and heavy wood. How large? This picture is only about half of the table. The full table is 4 feet wide and 18 feet long including a total of 5 leaves each 2 feet wide. There is only one leaf in the picture, so here the table is only 10 feet long - just over half it's final size. There are two more hidden legs that fold down when the table is fully expanded.
Normally this would include a hint that "I could build one of these for you." Sorry, I cannot build another one of these - it is too heavy for me, and too large for my shop. I had to call a neighbor to help me move it during construction - my wife and I could not handle it alone. It is so large that the final steps of construction had to take place in our living room. If you would like one exactly like this, I suggest you find a larger shop, with at least 5 employees. That said, I would love to build a smaller dining room table for you, out of Mesquite or more traditional woods.
The customer wanted his initial inlaid with Turquoise granules in the table - and chose to do it in one leaf (that will normally be in the center of the table). He also specifically requested that the wood grain in the leaves go in the opposite direction of the wood grain in the main table.
What made the table so heavy? Mesquite is a very heavy wood, and with a large table correspondingly large legs (4 inches in diameter) were required. In the shop I normally carried one leg at a time. The slides that allow the table to be expanded were extremely heavy - I didn't weigh them, but carrying one of the two slides (with 6 sections for expansion) was a full load for me. Just the slides probably added 60 pounds to the table weight.
As shown, "priceless" I cannot build another like it!
Mesquite, 40x60 inches with two 18" leaves (expands to 8 feet long), $5,800
substantially less for other wood species

Large Round Table
This client wanted a six foot diameter dining room table with a three foot diameter lazy susan in the center.
Walnut veneer was selected, with quartersawn walnut for the starburst pattern on the lazy susan, and a walnut burl band separating the eating area from the lazy susan.
The pedestal base had four curved sides with similar quartersawn walnut veneer. For strength the structural base was a square plywood column inside the curved sides. The feet were also veneer over curved plywood over a plywood form, bolted to the column. The apron was bent plywood with a matching veneer.
The lazy susan is slightly above the height of the table, and can be removed if necessary to clean spills. The eating surface of the table was built in two halves so that it could be delivered and moved more easily
See the construction details for this table below.
substantially less for smaller sizes
(e.g. a table 4 feet in diameter would seat 6 easily and cost about one third as much)

Other ideas for your consideration
I recently designed an oval table with a walnut starburst (similar to the round table above), 92 x 38 inches, four legs, top approximately 1½ inches thick, that I could make for $3,400.
A similar walnut starburst on a rectangular table, 40 x 60 inches, would be $2,400.
I would be glad to build almost any type of dining table for you. In addition to writing tables and the dining tables above, I have rebuild several tables with leaves, and built replacement leaves for several more tables. My personal bias is for a table with legs at the four corners, since I have long legs and don't like a pedestal in the middle, but sometimes a pedestal is the best solution, such as the round table above. The real decision is "whatever you want." As always, I am glad to build using solid woods, plywood, or veneers of exotic woods over plywood or other base.
Dining chairs require lots of unusual angles and joints, so custom dining chairs are often much more expensive than factory made chairs. I would be glad to work with you if you want custom chairs, or as a compromise, I can get pre-cut parts for some chair designs, so that the chairs are completed and finished as part of this project.
This interesting glass-top table, with exquisite craftsmanship, was exhibited at the 2010 "Texas Furnituremaker's Show" in Kerrville. Someone came up behind me and asked what I thought of it. I said "not much room for my long legs if I were sitting at that table." Well, he said, "maybe it could be an entry table." Not many houses I have seen have room for an entry table the size of a dining room table. Turns out it was the craftsman that I had just insulted! He would be glad to sell you the table for $8,222. Recently I heard that this really is an entry table... in a hotel lobby.
Construction details of the large round table.
The table above took three months to build. If you want me to build one like it for you, hopefully the next one will go faster, since I have kept the special forms for bending wood.
The starburst pattern on the lazy susan was made from 36 precisely cut pieces of veneer, taped together before being attached to the top as a unit.
Once the veneer is glued to the plywood backing (with solid walnut edges), the tape is removed, and you can see the starburst. After this step, the bearing (1000 pound rated load) is attached, and the edge is trimmed round using the final bearing to rotate the lazy susan at the cutter, so the edge will be precisely aligned when the final lazy susan is rotated.
A similar process was used to tape together the pieces for the outside (but with about 60 pieces of veneer, since the circumference was larger). The quartersawn walnut provided a very straight grain pattern, but only in very narrow pieces of veneer. The burl band was taped separately, then both the burl and the radial pieces were cut (using a custom made template) so they could be joined before being glued to the tabletop. Like the lazy susan, the top was trimmed round after the veneer was attached.
Since someone might step on the feet, the braces were left in place... this is the underside of the feet before the veneer was applied and the edges trimmed. Then adjustable feet were added at each corner of the big foot (total of 8 felt feet touch the floor, two per large foot)

We visited Bordeaux last year when my husband and his friend went to run the Medoc Marathon. I can't say much about the marathon but I loved the little streets of Bordeaux, winding between stone buildings and opening up unexpectedly in piazzas. I took this shot from a cafe window as we were having some wine after a walking tour of the city. It had just been sunny earlier, but the clouds came with little warning and it rained quite hard. I was glad the tour was over by then.
I love the pic. It's got a lot going for it. Great capture!
Like a wonderful vintage book print…. great!
Nice capture! I think it turned out better than if it was sunny! Which coffee shop?
