Walk one block west to 3rd Ave.
The Pines provides a unique experience for special occasions. Our dining room seats 40 and in the spring, summer and fall, the Backyard grill fires seasonal snacks, perfect for another 40 guests or more in the garden for cocktail parties.
A companion of ours once noted that he's never seen a more smoothly run kitchen than that of John Poiarkoff, and we have to agree; Poiarkoff and his sous-chefs move about with balletic precision and grace, all in the service of turning out some of the finest and most inventive cuisine in Brooklyn.
You'd hardly expect to find a restaurant like Willow nestled directly under Franklin Avenue's elevated C-train, flanked by a Dunkin' Donuts, a Papa John's and a Crown's Fried Chicken. And yet, the intriguingly angled eatery [is] a tiny and multi-faceted diamond in the rough, which perfectly reflects the progression of stunning snacks and scrupulously constructed small plates planned for the bite-sized kitchen.
This is The Pines team's newest passion project ... Slated to open on April 2nd, the seasonally focused spot is equally committed to sustainable sourcing, natural wines and house-made everything, just a bit dialed-down, in order to suit the community and the space.
When Poiarkoff took over as executive chef, he overhauled everything—the fresh vegetables, how often the menu changes, the wine list, and where he got his meat. "For me, its cool supporting the little guys, and its also the quality of product."
After joining The Pines as its inaugural sous chef in 2012, Chef [John] Poiarkoff recently took over the kitchen, adding a heightened level of refinement to both the menu and service. Experimental and ever-changing in its first two years, John has helped the restaurant to find a more consistent voice — one rooted in his personal cooking philosophy that places ingredients at the center.
Just like Littleneck and Bar Tano, The Pines is a part of the new generation of restaurants flourishing in the Gowanus neighborhood in Brooklyn, the ever-expanding former industrial area of the city. With John Poiarkoff at the helm, the restaurant presents the perfect mix of modern and traditional recipes.
On any given night (the menu is edited daily), there are approximately 18 to 20 dishes, informally grouped into starters, handmade pastas and small vegetable and protein plates. It's evident at first glance that the menu is antistandard by what it lacks: roast chicken, kale salad and burgers…Instead, they will eat an oxtail cappellacci in which land and sea get paired together: the savory notes of the meat-filled pasta purses are further amplified by a briny crab reduction.


This section of the blog highlights specific projects that I have been involved with. By projects I usually mean creative practice led participatory projects. In most cases I am employed by a client to design and deliver projects that engage a specific group of individuals. Most of these contracts run for a number of weeks and I have worked for a hugely diverse variety of clients from schools, charities, art galleries and local authorities.
Below are some initial images of the work that has been produced by participants so far. In some cases this has been some what collaborative as the work inspired me to refine elements for the various digital transference processes. So far I have applied the artwork to a number of jewellery items and fashion items. Diversity of process is the key to the final artworks. The final pieces will be displayed at the Shipley Art Gallery in the coming months. More images are to follow of the final products.


Birds of prey and owls. Monitoring and mapping of terrestrial birds. Biological diversity surveys. Seabird monitoring and surveys. Nature and wildlife management. Impact assessments and risk analysis for the petroleum industry, road projects, wind turbines, other installations.

HomeWhere We Work
Wanting to affect the process by which two billion Asian citizens assume status as a new global middle class, DDI's focus is on Asia, and our activity encompasses the ASEAN nations of Southeast Asia, the SAARC nations of South Asia, as well as China's PRC and Chinese Taiwan. The five governments below currently capture our attention.
Meaningful Broadband-China was established under the leadership of Dean Li Guangian of the Department of Information Management at Peking University (PKU) in partnership with Digital Divide Institute. The collaboration began with a series of lectures by the DDI Chairman in Beijing who was assigned as Visiting Professor at PKU. The key researcher leading the effort is Associate Professor Han Shenlong, who is considered a leading expert on Digital Divide in China. MB-China is expected to be activated in a series of seminars to be held at the university beginning in May of 2016. China's Confucius Institute has invited DDI's professor Smith to deliver a lecture series called "Confucius and the Internet," that explores the link between the philosophy of the ancient sage Confucius and principles and challenges that shape the internet in China. Dr. Han also teaches Information System Analysis and Design, and Theories and Technologies on Modern Information Retrieval. Introduced to the field of community informatics by Dr. Kate Williams and Dr. Abdul Alkalimat from the University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign, he helped organize the Community Informatics Summer School (CISS) of Peking University in 2011 and 2012. He is a co-author of Community Informatics in China and the US: Theory and Research, which is the first community informatics textbook to be published in China. Dr. Han is also the organizer of the first community informatics conference in China, called eBeijing 2012. His current research project, sponsored by the National Social Science Fund of China, investigates the digital divide between China's urban and rural areas and its impact on China's urbanization process.
Digital Divide Institute continues to expand the scope of nations where we are involved. Our latest is Bangladesh, a nation of 165 million persons. Stakeholders from Bangladesh will be benchmarking with Indonesia to adapt field testing activity for Meaningful Broadband. A focus will be the role of women and girls in Bangladesh's massive textile industry. We believe that technologies can be used to support education and entrepreneurship among low-income workers, allowing workers in Dhaka's textile factories to return to their rural villages to establish entrepreneurial businesses aided by 3G printing and "maker spaces."
The Kingdom's ICT coordinating body, called NIDA, requested DDI formulate a Meaningful Broadband Working Group. Essentially, the plan would support the implementation of the broadband plan established with the help of the International Telecommunications Union. If successful, the Kingdom of Cambodia would be the first low-income nation to attempt to leapfrog directly into next-generation digital technologies – skipping several steps in the classic process of economic development that emphasizes urbanization and manufacturing.
Cambodia is an inspiring place to consider the future of broadband. With the killing fields a distant memory, "killer applications" in local language are now on the minds of Cambodia's youth. Though the Kingdom is small (15 million) and still poor ($900 per capita) and overwhelmingly rural (80%), it is a steady achiever, averaging a 5%-7% GDP growth for the past 17 years, exceeding China's rate The World Bank says Cambodia may be the first agriculture-based low-income nation to leapfrog over the grimy urban manufacturing phase and directly into a services-based knowledge economy, led by a big push into eco-tourism.
Indonesia is DDI's current showcase, and the first country where Meaningful Broadband has been fully embraced by all stakeholders in public-private and academic sectors. It has not only generated the political will that caused the government to establish an Indonesia Broadband Plan, but the Meaningful Broadband model test-market deployment to the first "Kabupaten" or local districts. To establish the design of the test market activity, the World Bank's ICT division stepped in to head the technical team. The driver of Meaningful Broadband is the activation of a "sleeping infrastructure" – the underutilized 42,000 kilometer Palapa Ring fiber optic backbone which traverses the archipelago. The World Bank's contribution was to link the fixed broadband to a Last Mile solution that aimed to establish the first interoperable e-government network, incorporating local schools and health clinics.
Beyond this, the Meaningful Broadband conceived a program of Meaningful Use. That concept refers to a device project and also a campaign to elicit massive local content which would generate jobs and revenue for citizens located outside urban zones. The embrace of Meaningful Broadband did not come suddenly. DDI's presence in Indonesia began in 2004 at Prof Smith's seminar at Jakarta's Harvard Club hosted by Intel Corporation. At this event, Prof Smith began his vital long-term partnership with Pak Ilham A. Habibie, a respected local business leader and son of the former Indonesian President. Dr. Ilham Habibie later became chairman of Digital Divide Institute- Indonesia, now located within his family's think tank, called The Habibie Center, By 2011 the nation's most powerful leaders signed a Jakarta Declaration for Meaningful Broadband and created a Meaningful Broadband Working Group, overseen from the National Palace under the watch of President SBY. Learn more about Meaningful Broadband in Indonesia.
In 2015 the Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Thailand invited Digital Divide Institute to re-introduce Meaningful Broadband-Thailand in order to advise the shaping a new "digital economy and society" program of the Army-led national government. Till recently, Thailand's telecommunications sector was a source of a competitive disadvantage as several lower income ASEAN nations zoomed ahead of the more affluent Thais in all the indicators of "ICT readiness." The DDI Chairman was an adviser to the Kingdom of Thailand beginning in 2005.
In 2007, Professor Smith relocated to Thailand and established DDI-Asia at the nation's flagship royal university, Chulalongkorn. Under the chairmanship of the NBTC chairman, Prof Smith became managing director of the Meaningful Broadband Working Group which included all five of the CEOs of the combative telecommunications operating companies. He mobilized the National Research Council of Thailand to provide research support and funding for the working group.

On Track With Johnny D: Gimme Six
Yours truly was present for the birth of the Pick Six. In the delivery room, alongside doctors, nurses, painters, carpenters, bartenders, cab drivers and…thousands of other horseplayers. It was June 7, 1980, and I was a fresh-out-of-college, wet-behind-the-ears member of the Hollywood Park publicity staff welcoming a newborn to US racing.
Truthfully, I don't remember it like it was yesterday. It wasn't. It was a while ago. What I do recall about that day is that, just like with the birth of a child, everyone working at Hollywood Park was both excited and a bit anxious. At that point, the only multi-race wager in the States was the Daily Double—and that was difficult enough. This new wager challenged players to select SIX consecutive winners. How's that again? Six consecutive winners? You've got to be kidding. No one was sure how horseplayers would react to this gauntlet toss. Would they embrace the challenge or shrink in fear?
Southern California was the perfect place to introduce the Pick Six to American horseplayers. Many Golden State residents already were familiar with operation of the popular '5-10' wager previously offered at Caliente racetrack in nearby Tijuana, Mexico. There players were challenged to select the winners of six races, number 5 through 10. SoCal horseplayers that hadn't personally motored a few hours south to play the wager had at least heard parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts etc. recount tales of successful scores and agonizing defeats. And back then, one of the best places in North America to either celebrate a score…or drown sorrows was Tijuana, Mexico!
I suppose, the Pick Six could be considered one of this country's most successful immigrants. In the 38 years since Hollywood Park's Marjorie Everett smuggled the wager across the border it has expanded nationwide, entertained millions, helped to employ thousands, paid taxes and, like other investments, created and diminished fortunes. According to a guest post by David J. Beltran online at Mary Forney's Blog (http://maryforney.blogspot.com/2010/01/pick-6-bet-had-its-roots-in-calientes-5.html), Caliente's 5-10 was a revision of a popular bet at Hipodromo La Rinconada in Venezuela, the cinco y seis (5 and 6). The object of that wager was to select finishers of the day's feature race in order: first through sixth. Think of it as a Super Hi-5 plus 1.
As naïve about the new wager as the residents of Oz were about the wizard, my fellow press box denizens and I constructed various $2 Pick Six tickets and then instructed the teller to 'punch' them two or three times. We didn't want to have six winners just once. Like with Daily Double or Exacta wagers we wanted to have the winning ticket multiple times! Looking back, I have to laugh because that could be…no, is the most ridiculous wagering tale I've ever heard.
According to Wikipedia, it wasn't until the Pick Six had been in play for three years--June 23, 1983, that Hollywood Park added a carryover provision. That led to a record four-day carryover of $3,274,505 on July 2, 2007 that generated a single-day record Pick 6 handle of $7,596,347 and a record total pool of $10,870,852. Thirteen tickets with all six winners returned $576,064 and 807 consolation tickets with five winners paid $2,240.40. A single winning $2 ticket that day would have been worth a record $7.4 million.
In 1985, the bet was introduced to New York racing and was slow to catch on. Even today, Big Apple horseplayers don't embrace the wager as eagerly as left-coast counterparts. However, Steven Crist, a devoted Pick Six player, writing in the New York Times in 1988 noted, "Winning a Pick-6, however small, turns a bettor into a Pick-6 player for life. The ego gratification offered by picking a winner is multiplied by more than six when one hits the Pick-6."
Agreed. I'm 'exhibit A' of that phenomenon. Been fortunate to go six-for-six on several occasions and there's no horserace wagering high quite like it. Usually, I only chase Pick Six carryovers, but nowadays they're as common as days of the week. Santa Anita just had a massive $821,858 three-day, mandatory-payout Sunday. Belmont had a small one Wednesday, and Gulfstream has had a $20-cent Rainbow Six single-ticket leftover for 25 consecutive cards.
The Rainbow Six, now offered for 20-cents per-throw, originated at Beulah Park as the $2 Pick Six's thrifty cousin. The wager wasn't nearly as popular then as it has become at Gulfstream Park. Besides cost, it differs from the Pick Six in that the entire pool is paid out only when there is a single winning ticket or when there is a mandatory payout. Some love the wager. Some hate it. Personally, with a limited budget, I favor the 20-cent minimum version. Despite knowing that the chance I'll ever hold a single winning ticket is near zero and that takeout on the wager expands from around 20% to 50%, the large pools produce decent payoffs.
In March of this year, at Gulfstream, on Xpressbet Florida Derby day, a mandatory payout of the Rainbow Six generated a North American record $16,583,425 in new money and total Pick 6 handle of $21.336 million. Winners in the mostly chalky sequence paid $31.60, $6, $8.60, $7.60, $6.80 and $5.20. The Pick Six returned $9,018.02. See why I like it?
One of the most memorable editions of the Rainbow Six occurred May 25, 2014 when the late Dan Borislow, majicJack inventor and horse owner, bulldozed Gulfstream Park's 20-cent Rainbow Six for a $6.7 million payoff. Most notable about Borislow's victory were two things: First, his ticket cost $7,600 and covered every horse in five races--the third, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth—and he used just two starters in the sixth race. Second, his victorious assault cleverly came one day before a much-publicized mandatory payout of the entire pool.
I recall leaning against the counter of a fish market in Cape May, NJ watching video on my phone of Callana ($12.80) winning the final leg in the sequence. Like most people, I hadn't played a Rainbow Six ticket that day and instead had done extensive handicapping in anticipation of the next day's mandatory payout. Borislow shrewdly beat everyone to the punch.
Gulfstream has another mandatory Rainbow Six payout scheduled for Saturday. The card includes races from the track's popular Summit of Speed—mostly sprints—but the Rainbow Six has a one-mile turf race. Just for old time's sake you could call Saturday's Gulfstream Rainbow Six the '9-14'—because the wager doesn't begin until the afternoon's ninth race at around 4 pm ET. At this writing, the weather forecast for Hallandale Beach, FL is not promising. However, South Florida weather predictions four days out are about as accurate as most Rainbow Six tickets. But a lot less fun and sometimes much less profitable.
Race On!

L'extension sud de la ville de Bruxelles est une zone étroite de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale qui appartient à la commune belge de Bruxelles, située au sud du Pentagone.

Situation
L'extension sud de Bruxelles commence à la place Louise sur la petite ceinture, au sud-est du Palais de justice de Bruxelles, et suit l'avenue Louise au sud, se poursuit dans le bois de la Cambre et se termine à la lisière sud de cette forêt sur la chaussée de la Hulpe. La zone est la plus étroite au niveau du goulot de l'avenue Louise : la partie entre la place Louise et la place Stéphanie. À cet endroit, la zone n'est pas plus large que l'avenue. À la chaussée de la Hulpe, la zone est la plus large avec plus d'un kilomètre et demi. L'extension sud mesure environ cinq kilomètres entre la place Louise et la chaussée de la Hulpe. La zone comprend également le jardin du roi et la plupart du domaine de l'abbaye de la Cambre .

L'extension sud divise la commune d'Ixelles en deux parties. De plus, un bloc de constructions au sud-est de la place Louise est séparé du reste de la commune de Saint-Gilles dont il fait partie. Par ailleurs, lextension sud borde la commune d'Uccle au sud-ouest et la commune de Watermael-Boitsfort au sud-est.

 Histoire
En 1802, la zone du Solbosch, faisait partie de la forêt de Soignes, est déboisée et transformée en terres agricoles.

En 1839, les développeurs du projet ont obtenu la permission de construire un nouveau quartier au sud du Pentagone de Bruxelles. Ce quartier est situé sur le territoire des communes de Saint-Gilles et Ixelles.

En 1840, la partie du goulot de l'avenue Louise est aménagée.

Vers 1840, ce qui reste de la forêt est de plus en plus bois de la Cambre car elle bordait la propriété de l'abbaye voisine de la Cambre. Cependant, ce bois était rarement visitée en raison d'une mauvaise accessibilité. Le bois de la Cambre appartient au gouvernement belge depuis 1843.

En 1844, des développeurs de projet ont proposé de construire une large avenue afin de relier le nouveau quartier avec le bois de la Cambre. Ce plan a été approuvé par le gouvernement et a été identifié comme servant l'intérêt public. La concession a été accordée en 1851, mais des retards importants entraine que celle-ci doit être accordée à nouveau en 1856.

En 1857, la ville de Bruxelles obtient l'autorisation de lancer un concours pour l'avenue Louise. Par arrêté royal du 11 janvier 1859, une version révisée du plan original de l'avenue Louise par Maximilien Carez a été approuvée. Il a été décidé de donner également le nom Louise à cette avenue en l'honneur de la princesse Louise. La construction a été financée par la ville de Bruxelles.

En 1860, les travaux de construction de l'avenue Louise commencent Le site devant être nivelé et pour combler la différence de hauteur de 23,6 mètres entre le goulot d'étranglement et le bois de la Cambre, une pente douce est alors construite.

À partir de 1861, la construction de maisons commence le long de l'avenue Louise, alors large de 35 mètres, et les jardins de devant de ces maisons étaient initialement de dix mètres de long. Par l'arrêté royal du 12 juillet 1864, les jardins avant prévus ont été ajoutés à la rue pour que l'avenue Louise ait une largeur de 55 mètres et non plus de 35 mètre.

Le 22 février 1862, la mairie de Bruxelles décida d'opter pour le plan d'Édouard Keilig pour la construction d'un parc de style paysage anglais dans le bois de la Cambre.

Par l'arrêté royal du 21 avril 1864, l'avenue Louise et le bois de la Cambre sont ajoutés à la ville de Bruxelles. La ville est ainsi devenue responsable de la construction et de l'entretien de la forêt. Les sites adjacents sont également annexés par la ville de Bruxelles sur une distance de 40 à 100 mètres, suivant les contours des champs, des routes de campagne et des domaines. Les rues des communes voisines, qui suivaient souvent les anciennes routes de campagne, ont été prolongées jusqu'à l'avenue Louise pour assurer une connexion avec elles.

La construction du bois de la Cambre a été achevée en 1866 et celui-ci ouvre au public. Autour de la forêt, les établissements de restauration des avenues Louise, Victoria, de la clairière, du Vivier d'Oie et du Congo ont bénéficié de nombreux visiteurs.

En 1906, la Compagnie de l'Exposition de Bruxelles'' SA a été fondée pour organiser l'exposition universelle de 1910. Le Solbosch a été choisi comme emplacement pour celle-ci. L'exposition universelle a été le moteur du développement urbain. Ixelles a cédé un terrain de 62,6 hectares entre le bois de la Cambre et les avenues Adolphe Buyl, du Pesage, du Derby et avenue de la Forêt à la ville de Bruxelles. Ixelles construit aussi l'avenue Émile Duray. La ville de Bruxelles a construit plusieurs rues, dont l'avenue Émile De Mot et l'avenue Lloyd George, et s'est engagée à construire un quartier résidentiel dans la zone avec l'avenue des Nations (plus tard appelée avenue Franklin Roosevelt) comme route principale à travers le quartier. Les trois routes construites ont servi de voies d'accès à l'exposition universelle. Avec la construction de l'avenue des Nations, la dernière partie la ceinture a été achevée via Ixelles, Watermael-Boitsfort et Auderghem. Fin 1910, l'exposition universelle est fermée et la construction du nouveau quartier commence.

Dans les années 1910, l'avenue Louise a été agrandie avec un cul-de-sac privé luxueux, situé directement sur l'avenue Louise, à peu près en ligne droite avec l'avenue Lloyd George, juste en face du bois de la Cambre. Cette rue reçu un double nom, officiellement elle s'appelle Avenue Louise, mais elle est également connue sous le nom de square du bois.

En 1921, la ville de Bruxelles propose le site du Solbosch à l'université libre de Bruxelles, celle ci accepte et s'y installe, créant le Campus Solbosch.

En 1976, il a été décidé de protéger le bois de la Cambre par décret royal.

Once upon a time, lost amongst the ancient mists of prehistory (the 1980s), the idea of a PC built explicitly for gaming was ludicrous; PCs were work and education oriented, and marketed as such. Even as PC gaming became more popularly accepted - and more lucrative - PCs manufacturers that specialized in gaming specs were extremely rare. It was mostly just Alienware with a handful of specialized, individual models on the fringes of the larger companies' catalogs.
In this glorious modernity, gamers looking for a specialized PC to service their hobby are spoiled by a multitude of options, a brightly lit, liquid-cooled array of powerful hardware screaming for attention under the banner of increasingly hyperbolic names. While learning how to build a gaming PC might save you a few bucks, not everyone has the technical inclination or the spare time to go about hunting down individual parts and then carefully assembling them (though if you are in the build it yourself crowd, have a look at our best CPUs for PC gaming, best cases for PC gaming, or best graphics cards for PC gaming for some handy tips). For those who prioritize time over money, a pre-built gaming monster is mighty attraction, but in an ever-expanding field, where do you begin?
The first major decision you face when buying a gaming PC is form factor. Are you looking for a laptop you can carry with you to school or work, something to play around with on the train or in the comfy confines of your own bed? Or do you want a proper, beefy desktop, a powerful machine that can easily handle the best PC games on the highest settings, to output to your fancy 144hz gaming monitor?
If you want to go desktop, here are the best gaming PCs to consider.
In terms of performance, a laptop will always cost you more than a desktop - you pay a premium for portability. On the other hand, some laptops come with perks that are comparatively rare in desktop setups, things like a touchscreen precision trackpad. Think about what setting you'll be using your new PC in most and plan accordingly. If you're already invested in a sweet gaming chair, high end display, and surround sound, or spend most of your time gaming at home, a desktop is probably for you. On the other hand, if you travel a lot or like to game while something streams on TV in the background, a laptop may be the better choice.
If you want to go portable, here are the best gaming laptops to consider.
After you've settled the laptop vs. desktop issue, your next priority should be budget. Figure out how much you can reasonably spend, and how much power you'll actually need. If you're just looking for a PC to match current console specs, you can easily get by under the $1,000 mark (if you really need to tighten down, you can even make do closer to the $500 threshold if you bargain hunt and spend wisely). On the other hand, if you're looking for an absolute beast to stupify those console newbs, you can easily spend in excess of $4,000 and ensure that not only will you have a blazing fast machine to annihilate anything the games of today can throw its way, you'll also be ready to handle all the most demanding games for years to come.
Consider your priorities when pricing out a PC. If you don't mind some lower settings or find you can't tell the difference between FXAA and MSAA anti-aliasing, you might not need to spend a thousand dollars extra for a machine with a Titan graphics card. Because of the way game's graphics are somewhat leashed to console generations, even much older PC hardware will be able to play games reasonably well until at least we get another major console iteration. That said, if you can afford to splurge now, you might actually end up saving yourself some cash in the future. And don't forget that you'll need the extras: like grabbing one of the best gaming monitors, or saving for a PC headset for gaming.
Future proofing is an important consideration, because while skimping now might save you some bucks in the short term, if you find you have to buy a brand new system in six months or a year anyway, your long term savings might be negligible. Consider how much you'll need to upgrade when factoring out the total cost of your machine, and bear current hardware trends in mind. If there's a new round of graphics cards or processors looming large on the horizon, being patience until they launch might net you significant savings on builds that feature the hardware they're replacing.
Another thing to consider when you're contemplating your hardware's future is expandability. Regardless of what price point you decide on, you should try to find a machine that has some overhead for future upgrades. That way, instead of replacing your entire system within a year or two, you can just swap in some new parts at a fraction of the price. If you don't mind some mild tinkering (something that parts manufacturers are making easier all the time), you can save yourself thousands of dollars across the life of your PC by gradually upgrading individual components. Our guides to things like the best gaming mouse and the best gaming keyboard can help to save you cash now on items that you can upgrade later.
If you're looking for some quick advice, Alienware's Aurora is an excellent, versatile gaming desktop. The Aurora has the advantage of being eminently customizable, so you can modify your order to suit your precise needs and budget without having to personally fuss with any actual parts swapping. Regardless of which build you decide on, you're getting an attractive, thoughtfully built PC at close to the price of the individual parts, complete with one of Alienware's distinct cases and flashy RGB lighting. For a complete analysis of their current line, check out our guide to Alienware gaming PCs.
If it's a laptop you're looking for, personally, I'd recommend MSI GT75 Titan if you're a power gamer who prioritized mobility. The Titan is a big, extremely powerful laptop that will devour even the most intense games, and comes packed with extra features, like a G-sync display and a 512GB solid state drive. It's a beast that can keep pace with many desktop machines and, while pricy, will be the only gaming PC you'll need for years to come. If you prefer Razer for your gaming laptop needs, on the other hand, take a peek at our complete guide to Razer gaming laptops.


I think everyone should have a lake in their life. It doesn't even necessarily have to be a lake, per say, although I am partial for your lake being a body of water of some sort. But, the lake for me is a sacred, and holy, place. A place where I feel the presence of the Lord stronger and see His wonder and beauty displayed so clearly before my eyes. It's a place to get away from it all, a place of solitude, memories made and memories to come, a place that captures your heart and fills your soul each time you return. It's a place where I dream and pray and live. That's my lake. What's yours?
Earlier this month we went back to our lake for a week and it was so good. So good. The lake strips away bedtimes, brings the gold out in your hair, and leaves your nose peeling. The sun bronzes your back, and the water is crystal clear with a white, sandy, bottom, like the ocean. It's quiet, it's serene.
There's campfires every night and you go to sleep with toasted marshmallow in your hair, just because you can. You bring your pillows home from the lake house and they still smell like those every night campfires. You don't even want to wash them to hold onto the lake for a little bit longer.
beautiful images captured!! Can't wait for my LO to learn to swim for visits to the lake!
these are gorgeous pics, girl! gorgeous!
looks like a beautiful time! i love times of solitude with the Lord as well. just even a few minutes out in the backyard as the sun sets, is enough to feel His presence.
I am from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, and lake life truly is magical! All my summers since I was a baby revolve around going to the lake. And even as an adult there is something so magical about those summer days. I really do feel closer to God.
I love your gorgeous shots, they make me long for summer!
Love this so much! Dying to be on my lake.
i think i'd REALLY love your lake. the ones here in kansas are too muddy and i'm afraid to get in because i don't know what's swimming around. thanks for sharing these lovely family photos!
love this. the lake is my place too. glorious. your words took me back there this afternoon!
your pictures are mesmerizing! beautiful lake. beautiful you.

The sharp drop in used car prices – what it means and what lies ahead
Keeping up with used car prices is enough to give anyone whiplash.
Since the onset of the pandemic and ensuing disruptions in new car supply chains first pushed prices up, used car prices posted their biggest annual increase on record – a 45% increase in the 12 months ending June 2021, according to the consumer price index – before it fluctuated to a 12-month decline of 8.8% in its most recent reading for December.
That was the biggest 12-month price drop for used cars since June 2009, when General Motors and Chrysler both went bankrupt and the economy bled half a million jobs a month.
"It was a completely wild ride," said Ivan Drury, director of insights at Edmunds.com Inc., an online resource for automotive inventory and information.
Data from Edmunds shows the average price of a used car purchase in December at $29,533, down nearly $1,600 from the all-time high of $31,095 set in April 2022. The average price of a used car today is about the same as the average price of a new car in 2010.
While prices of used cars of the latest model are only 5% lower than their peak, according to Edmunds, prices of older used cars, those five years old or more, are down 15% or more from their early 2022 peaks.
Experts say reasons for the decline include higher interest rates that make it more expensive to finance a car purchase, limiting demand. CarMax (KMX), the nation's largest pure used car dealership, has warned that the combination of high prices and high interest rates is creating an affordability problem for many buyers, hurting overall demand.
But the main reason for the drop in used car prices is the increased supply of new cars.
It was the lack of new car inventory that drove up prices. A shortage of parts, particularly for computer chips, had choked new car production for much of 2022, leaving new car sales in the US at their lowest level since 2011.
The low supply of new cars caused an even bigger jump in the average used car price as buyers who would otherwise buy new vehicles turned to the used car market.
"At one point, it seemed like everyone who was going to buy new ended up buying used," said Greg Markus, executive vice president of AutoLenders, the parent company of New Jersey's largest used car dealership chain.
That included car rental companies, which normally bought about 10% or more new cars a year before the pandemic. With a limited supply of cars to sell, automakers essentially stopped selling lower-cost fleets, and even car rental companies were forced to turn to the used car market.
That has all been changing in recent months. Automakers are reporting more shipments of the chips they need and are producing and selling more cars, including a return in fleet sales. Overall, sales in the fourth quarter were up 9% compared to a year ago and almost 6% higher than in the third quarter, according to Cox Automotive. And with more buyers finding the new cars they want, that means lower demand for used cars.
Experts say part of the decline in used car prices is that the price increases were not sustainable and were partly caused by buyers at used car auctions paying too much for the limited supply of used vehicles.
"These prices could only go down," Markus said.
Used car prices could fall even more in the coming months as new car inventories continue to rise. One thing could put a floor under used car prices: Last-model used cars are likely to be scarce, given the reduction in new car production over the past three years.
"The supply problem is still grim," said Markus. Therefore: "I don't think we will reach the level of 2019," he added.
The rise in used car prices was a major driver of the country's overall inflation, adding about a full percentage point to the overall rise in consumer prices from April 2021 through May 2022. Now it's a factor that helps to the rate of inflation, cutting more than a third of a point from the overall rate in December.
This is clearly good news for those who want or need to buy a used car, although it could have a negative effect on car buyers by lowering the value of the vehicle they hope to trade in. Edmunds shows that the average trade-in value has almost fallen in December. $3,000, or 11%, to $22,605, from the all-time high in June 2022.
That drop in trade-in value could also be a headwind to car prices by reducing what buyers can pay.

Providing live theater experiences for children to build character and community.
A Theater For Children was founded in 2016 to serve the residents of Sonoma County. We wanted to preserve the Actor's Theater For Children tradition of providing low-cost performances for children and to offer more opportunities for children to perform. We recognize that the theater arts provide children with life-changing opportunities to develop character and confidence, promote cooperation among multiple generations and build a diverse and vibrant community of individuals who value creativity and learning.
Participation in the magic of theater, whether behind the scenes or in front of an audience, sparks imagination and ingenuity and helps to build community and character. A Theater For Children provides quality affordable live entertainment to the community as well as opportunities for children to perform at local schools and in our mainstage shows.
Each year we produce at least two main stage productions. We use local talent. Our shows include well-loved interpretations of classic children's literature, as well as contemporary stories and new works. Our first show was McQuadle: A Dragon's Tale in March of 2017. In September 2017, we presented Cinderella, Cinderella, a participation play for children, with lots of exciting opportunities for children in the audience to get on stage and influence the unfolding of the story. In March 2018, we presented Dorothy & The Wizard of Oz, also a child participation play. In Fall 2018, we produced Disney's 101 Dalmatians KIDS at the Steele Lane Community Center and provided a special opportunity for children in the audience to participate in the Twilight Bark and Dalmatian Plantation song. In March 2019, we presented a new musical with an anti-bullying theme called Alex & The Magic Staff, by local artists Bridget Palmer and Peter B. Allen.
For the 2019-2020 Season, we received a Cultural Arts Grant from Creative Sonoma to support our theme of "Children Embracing Nature Through Theater Arts." This grant supported our efforts to produce Disney's Lion King KIDS in November 2019. The production included the theme of the balance of nature and incorporated audience participation with an African animal headband arts project for children and the inclusion of audience voices and movement. Our March 2020 production will also provide a nature theme and we will produce two site-specific versions of Disney's Lion King KIDS at Bellevue and Kid Street Charter schools, including 60-80 children in each production, to inspire a school-wide appreciation for theater arts and respect for the balance of nature.
2020 will be our second year of providing a no-cost summer Drama camp for children served by our partner non-profits who support the development and well-being of children who are shelterless, in the foster care system, or who may be facing other significant challenges.
Staffed mostly by volunteers, ATFC is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization, under the fiscal sponsorship of Inquiring Systems INC. (ISI) in Santa Rosa, CA. With their administrative support and the financial contributions of local partner organizations and individual sponsors, we hope to provide our services for many years to come.

After the three Da Ponte operas, La Clemenza di Tito and, most recently, Idomeneo, René Jacobs has finally reached Die Zauberflöte, and his approach is typically invigorating, iconoclastic and vividly realised.
Unusually, perhaps, it is what he does with the dialogue that is one of the major talking points. Earlier releases in the series were particularly remarkable for the way they instilled a sense drama into the recitative; Die Zauberflöte, as a German Singspiel, presents very different problems with its text. Schikaneder's dialogue is often heavily cut or omitted entirely on record, but here nearly all the dialogue is reinstated – like Varesco's lengthy recits in Idomeneo. Jacobs cites Wilhelm Seidel in the booklet, who reproaches those who entertain the 'the mistaken belief that Mozart's music is on a superior plane' to Schikaneder's drama. As such, the performance runs to 2h47 and needs a third CD. By contrast, Klemperer's classic (and somewhat more leisurely) account of the score has no dialogue and fits on to two discs and is about half an hour shorter than Jacobs'.
That amounts to a lot of dialogue, but fundamental to Jacob's approach is his aim to present the opera as 'Hörspiel', so it is all delivered with a more gusto than usual, and accompanied with an array of elaborate sound effects. Characters speak over each other and over instrumental introductions to numbers, while the three ladies indulge in occasional Sprechgesang that rather brings to mind Pierrot Lunaire. The fact remains, however, that if one is unenlightened enough not to share such a high opinion of Schikaneder's text, or prefers it when accompanied by Mozart's music, as I fear most people do, then one is unlikely to want to sit through it all on repeated occasions. And while it is delivered in a manner that is admittedly more entertaining than normal, it is not necessarily as amusing as I imagine was intended, or as it would be live in the theatre.
The rather overpowering presence of a fortepiano (played here by Christian Koch) has been a feature of earlier releases, reaching something of a high (or low) point in Idomeneo. And it plays a very prominent role here, too, providing occasional accompaniment to the dialogue but also tinkling away during several of the musical numbers, providing counterpoints, echoes and other elaborations, often filling out textures that Mozart left bare. Mozart, the booklet reminds us, conducted the opera's first performance from the fortepiano, but if there are a few clever touches in the dialogue, the interjections in the numbers strike me as at best superfluous, at worst irritatingly intrusive. It also reflects a strange attitude to Mozart's music as a whole: Jacobs seems to believe that it needs no less spicing up than Schikaneder's dialogue. So if some passages, such as that accompanying Tamino's first entrance, are imbued with a wonderful, vital energy, elsewhere Jacobs pushes and pulls, underlining and emphasising in a way which is somewhat indulgent and mannered. As such, the simple joy one should feel at the start of the Papageno-Papagena duet, for example, is quickly replaced by impatience as the (intially fast) tempo is pulled around and the line fussily enunciated. Such rhythmic flexibility is in stark contrast to Jacobs' doctrinaire attitude towards the basic speeds for numbers, expounded at length in the booklet. Incidentally, while some speeds are on the fast side—those set for the boys robbing them of nobility—on the whole there's nothing we've not already heard on a variety of 'period instrument' performances.
The quality of the singing is high but, perhaps with the exception of Marlis Peterson's charming Pamina, not especially memorable. Daniel Behle is a lyrical Tamino but sounds constricted at the top of the voice, while Daniel Schmutzhard's affable Papageno sings well but is a touch disappointing in his dialogue: the Viennese accent comes and goes, and there's just not enough charisma to make one want to listen to it all. Marcos Fink is too light-voiced and unsteady as Sarastro (even if Jacobs claims this is an authentic piece of casting) while Anna-Kristiina Kaappola has all the notes as the Queen of the Night but none of the steel and menace in the voice.
Jacobs' approach is undoubtedly refreshing and, as always, everything is executed with the utmost commitment, not to mention gloriously virtuosic playing from the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. But there's a fundamental problem in what seems to be his desire to recreate such a sense of live theatre in a medium that encourages repetition. And it's an aim that fits ill with a three-cd set that, with its cardboard box and lavish booklet, seems to stake a claim to the status of authoritative, 'library' recording. I suspect that attempts to enliven swathes of dialogue will pale on repeated listening, while one's patience with improvisatory flourishes in the music and the micro-managing of tempos is likely to wear thin.
The booklet contains several photos from 2009 performances at Aix-en-Provence on which the recordings were based, and I can't help thinking that Jacobs' ideas would have been better represented if those had been filmed and released on BluRay or DVD.

10 Reasons Why Capitals Fans Should be Thankful →
Nicklas Backstrom Turns 30
Posted on November 23, 2017	by Diane Doyle
30 years ago today, November 23, 1987, Capitals' star center Nicklas Backstrom was born in Valbo, Sweden to Anders and Catrin Backstrom. Anders was a longtime defenseman for the Brynas IF hockey team in the Swedish Elite League.
Nicklas and his older brother, Kristoffer, both became hockey players, like their father. By the 2005-2006 season, Nicklas was playing for Brynas IF and was selected as Rookie of the Year in the Swedish Elite League.
The Washington Capitals chose him with the fourth overall pick in the NHL Entry Draft in 2006. In fact, Alexander Ovechkin, their first pick from 2004, got to step up to the podium and announce the pick.
At the time of the draft, Backstrom was described as a playmaking center. He would be compared to Peter Forsberg but said he patterned his game on that of Henrik Zetterberg. While he was judged to be ready for the NHL after the draft, he decided to remain in Sweden for one more season, coming over to America for the 2007-2008 season. (Backstrom pre-draft scouting report is here)
Washington Post Story on His Draft Selection
When Backstrom arrived in the U.S., he stayed in the house of center, Michael Nylander, who had returned for a second tour of duty with the Caps in free agency. It was almost like he was another child to Nylander who had six children of his own, two boys and four girls. (Story on Backstrom and William Nylander here.)
Backstrom did well in his NHL debut with the Capitals, getting an assist on a Michael Nylander goal, as the Caps went on to beat the Atlanta Thrashers 3-1. The Caps went on to win their next two games but then became mired in a horrible slump and were 6-14-1 by Thanksgiving, resulting in Head Coach Glen Hanlon getting fired and Bruce Boudreau appointed in his place.
The first game of Boudreau's coaching tenure was on Backstrom's 20th birthday, November 23, 2007. It was a road game against the Philadelphia Flyers. Backstrom had started that game on the team's fourth line, with Matt Bradley and Donald Brashear. But he ended up scoring the game winning goal in Overtime as they won 4-3.
For most of the season, under both coaches Hanlon and Boudreau, Backstrom moved up and down the lineup and was used as both wing and center.
But after Michael Nylander had a season ending injury, Backstrom was finally on the first line with Ovechkin. For the year, he finished second in the Calder Trophy Rookie of the Year race to Patrick Kane of Chicago.
For most of his career, he has been the center on Ovechkin's line, except during periods when coaches figured that having them on separate lines might be better for the team.
Backstrom was even with Ovechkin during the NHL lockout of 2012. That year, he signed a contract with Moscow Dynamo, the KHL team where Ovechkin played. He celebrated his 25th birthday with the team when fans there presented him with birthday cake.
Since then, Backstrom has gone on to become the father of two children, Haley and Vincent, with Liza Berg, his longtime girlfriend. He is the Caps' career leader in assists, with 553 at this writing. He became the Caps' leader in assists, passing Michal Pivonka, on March 15, 2015 in a game where the Caps beat the Boston Bruins 2-0.
He is the only Cap to exceed 500 assists and got that milestone assist against the Ottawa Senators on Jan 7, 2017. (Story here.)
In the following home game, he was part of a pregame ceremony, with his family, where the NHL and the Washington Capitals honored that milestone.
Happy 30th birthday, Nicklas. The Washington Capitals and their fans appreciate all that you have done for the team over the years. Live long and continue to prosper.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker speaks at 1 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 6, 2021, to explain why he would object to Pennsylvania's presidential election results.
Screen Capture | C-SPAN
Fact-check: Smucker's speech to object to Pa.'s election furthers unfounded claims of malfeasance
GILLIAN McGOLDRICK | Staff Writer
Early Thursday morning, hours after law enforcement cleared the U.S. Capitol Building of thousands of rioters who had invaded it twelve hours earlier, Congress returned to the business they had been forced to set aside -- certifying President-elect Joe Biden's victory by counting the Electoral College results.
After midnight, Pennsylvania's electoral votes were disputed by eight of the nine GOP House members from the commonwealth, joined by scores of others from around the country. Their objection forced the House to debate the matter for two hours.
Lancaster County's congressman, Lloyd Smucker of West Lampeter, participated in the debate, delivering a short speech around 1 a.m. in which he outlined his reasons for seeking to disenfranchise millions of Pennsylvania voters.
PA Power and Policy: Pennsylvania State News
Lancaster County officials condemn attack on nation's Capitol
The full text of his speech is transcribed below. LNP | LancasterOnline fact checked the key assertions Smucker made, which you can find below the speech text.
Delivered in the early morning hours of Jan. 7 on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives:
Thank you Madam Speaker, I'd like to start by making two basic points. No. 1, individual states who administer elections must ensure that they're conducted fairly, uniformly and in accordance with the law. And No. 2, every American wants to be, and deserves to be confident that our elections are secure and that all eligible legal votes are counted accurately and in a transparent manner.
I'll say this, in my district in Lancaster and York counties I think that occurred. I'm very proud of my county election officials who upheld the Pennsylvania constitution and followed the letter of the law.
Following chaos in the Capitol, U.S. Rep. Smucker will still object to Pennsylvania's electors
But unfortunately, that sentiment is not shared across the commonwealth. And today my objection is not about voter fraud, (1) it is grounded in unconstitutional measures taken by bureaucrats and partisan justices in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania that have unlawfully changed how this election was carried out.
Fact Check #1
This is the main argument Republican lawmakers at the state and federal levels have used to justify their objection to counting Pennsylvania's electoral votes. They say guidance by state Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and interpretations of the new election law by the "activist" state Supreme Court for leading to confusion among voters and local elections officials, and to county-by-county inconsistencies in how election rules were applied.
(2) This potentially changed the outcome and certainly caused millions of our state's voters to question the election results.
There is no evidence that the election outcome in Pennsylvania would have been different. Many of the voters who are questioning the results are citing President Donald Trump's baseless claims that there was widespread voter fraud. These unfounded claims were furthered by Pennsylvania state lawmakers like Smucker, who signed onto legal challenges seeking to overturn the state's election results in favor of Trump. While Smucker doesn't mention fraud himself, it is a fact that Trump and his supporters have alleged that fraud allowed Biden to win the state. Of note, however, is the fact that the president's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, told a federal judge in Williamsport that the campaign was not making a fraud claim in seeking to overturn Pennsylvania's results.
Other speakers have outlined this issue. In brief, Pennsylvania's state Legislature in 2019 passed a bipartisan election law reform bill, and then (3) the partisan Pennsylvania Supreme Court took it upon themselves to rewrite that law just seven weeks before the election.
Act 77 of 2019 was passed with bipartisan support, including nearly every Republican legislator. The law created a no-excuse right to a mail-in ballot for all voters, an option that became very popular after COVID-19 emerged.
Over the summer, the U.S. Postal Service warned that it might not be able to deliver the expected volume of mail-in ballots by the election night deadline. That prompted the state Democratic Party and liberal advocacy group Pennsylvania Alliance for Retired Americans to seek an extension for the state to accept mail ballots. In August, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled any ballot postmarked before 8 p.m. on Election Day and received within a three day "grace period" should be accepted, a step aimed at giving the Postal Service an additional three days to deliver properly postmarked ballots. This ruling was later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to hear a lawsuit challenging the rule.
Boockvar advised counties to set aside any ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day, pending the possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn the state Supreme Court's ruling and throw out these ballots. Across Pennsylvania, approximately 10,000 ballots were received after the election night deadline. Given that Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes, these ballots would not have changed the outcome.
(4) They unlawfully legislated from the bench and made substantive changes to the law, including allowing for unsecure drop boxes, and ordering that ballots received after the election be counted, among other things.
Pennsylvania election officials told counties they could deploy additional drop boxes, as interest in mail-in voting increased due to the coronavirus pandemic. The boxes were first used in some counties for the June 3 primary and were not challenged by Republicans at the time.
In October, a Trump-appointed federal judge in western Pennsylvania ruled the president's campaign did not present sufficient evidence showing there "certainly" would be fraud if these drop boxes were used for the general election. Lancaster County had one drop box location, but the objections made by Republicans involved satellite drop boxes used by some larger counties, including Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania secretary of state went even further. Her (5) unilateral, unconstitutional changes resulted in counties treating ballots differently so that some voters had the opportunity to change mail-in ballots to correct insufficiencies, while in other counties, their ballots simply were not counted.
In response to a state Supreme Court ruling that required all mail ballots without a security envelope be thrown out, Boockvar's office offered guidance the night before the election that counties should alert party officials of invalid ballots. This would give parties a chance to contact the voters who cast them and give them the chance to fix, or "cure," the ballots.
The election law does not mention any recourse for voters who make an error on a mail ballot, but it also does not prevent it. The law prevents anyone from sharing the results of the election until polls close, and Republicans said the ballot curing process effectively violates that prohibition. Legal challenges by Republicans to discard the cured ballots failed.
Few counties followed the curing guidance, given that it was issued so close to Election Day. Lancaster County did not work with parties to facilitate fixes to improperly cast ballots.
U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker will object to Pennsylvania's electors, alongside other Pa. House Republicans
As members of Congress, we serve as a voice for our constituents. (6) This is the one time I have a voice in this process, and I cannot simply look away when tens of thousands of my constituents have real and legitimate concerns about how this election was conducted in Pennsylvania.
Smucker has signed his name onto at least one legal brief seeking to overturn Pennsylvania's election. But the U.S. law governing how Congress receives the states' electoral votes does provide a path for lawmakers to object. At least one senator and one representative must file the objection in writing. The objection to Pennsylvania's electoral votes was endorsed by numerous Republican representatives, along with one GOP senator, Josh Hawley of Missouri.
In fact, I think inadequate response to those concerns by Pennsylvania officials is one of the major problems. (7) Simple measures like audits should be routine and random and supported by both parties, and I believe they are critical in restoring faith in Pennsylvania's elections moving forward.
Election audits are already required by state law. At least 64 counties began auditing the November election last month. As an additional check, counties are also using a risk-limiting audit, which several counties began piloting in November 2019. Risk-limiting audits provide statistical assurance that the election results were accurate by choosing ballots using an equation, Spotlight PA reported last month. These audits are considered to be more accurate than a traditional audit. The audits of the presidential election will be completed by Jan. 22.
(8) The bottom line for my constituents is that Pennsylvania's officials at all levels failed to conduct a uniform and legal election, and for that reason, they inappropriately and unlawfully certified the state's electors. With that, Madam Speaker, I would like to yield the balance of my time to my colleague from Pennsylvania, Mr. Kelly.
There is no evidence that the election was conducted illegally, according to rulings made in response to dozens of legal challenges by the Trump campaign. If the election was improperly executed by the state, every race on the ballot would have been affected. Instead, Smucker and his allies contested only the outcome of the presidential race in Pennsylvania, not the results that saw all nine Republican congressmen reelected. During the early Thursday morning debate over Pennsylvania's electoral votes, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Chester County, noted the contradiction. "... just this week, they joined me on the House floor to be sworn into this hallowed body, and they trusted that the votes cast in their favor were legitimate. And they're right. If those votes count, so too must the votes for President-elect Biden."

Sure, if you had $150,000 you could plunk it down on a new Icon Bronco, or you could save a not-so-small fortune and buy the genuine article for the paltry sum of $26,000. These vintage trucks, much like their British and Japanese cousins, are becoming increasingly rare in this condition. Harkening to the halcyon years of the real utility vehicle, a late 70s Ford Bronco is sparse of creature comforts, but lacks not for brawn or workman's fortitude. These trucks were designed as tools not status symbols, although as fateful twist would have it, today this vehicle will likely serve that purpose all the same. It would be fun to own, though, wouldn't it?
It's not a barn find…. but it's a RARE find!!! This sweet little truck is a 1 owner truck that came from right here in bone dry, Sheridan, Wyoming. It was the last 1977 sold from Cook Ford, which still stands but is full of vintage Porsches!
This truck has undergone a complete paint detail ($760.00), the paint is still shiny and smooth, there is no flaking paint or clear coat peeling. However, at some point in its life someone touched up a few small spots. You have to get close to see them though.
The interior is in exceptional shape. There are no tears in the seats, the headliner is in like new condition and the original floor mat is still there and looks nearly new. The whole interior of this truck was taken out and cleaned. Everything works on this truck! The bumpers are original and shiny. The original radio does work along with a vintage 8-track and a cassette deck.
It came stock from the factory with the 302 v-8, 4×4, power steering and power disc brakes. The only thing this truck needs is a new driver mirror which is on order and will be replaced before it's delivered to its new owner.
It also comes with the original manual with the metal tag. You can contact the seller at 307.752.6033.

Armed Man Robs Two Stores Within 45 Minutes
By Corbin Carson
The LA County Sheriff's Department has released surveillance video of a guy with a gun who robbed two stores in 45 minutes. Detective Gamielle Marshall says the guy didn't even bother wearing a mask during the robberies in Norwalk and Bellflower. According to the detective, the man had to know the stores may have video but he was not concerned with hiding his identity.
The video shows the man point a gun at the clerk in Bellflower and demand cash then 45 minutes later you can see the man at a store in Norwalk repeating the process.
"He was very calm which tells me it's not his first time doing this."
Marshall says that safety is a big concern right now with shoppers heading out for the holidays.
"Someone who is that comfortable acting in such an aggressive and violent manner. This confidence will continue to grow and he may end up hurting someone in the future."
"We're coming up on the holiday season and if this guy is brave enough to point a firearm at the victim while patrons are coming in and out of the store. What would he not do if it were you or a family member?"
Marshall says the guy was so calm during the robberies last month that it appears he's done it before. He says anyone with information please call the sheriff's department.
