Cougars Rally Falls Short 3-2
The Houston Cougars baseball team took their show, and their undefeated record, on the road Friday to begin a weekend series in Corpus Christi at Whataburger Field . . . The Cougars faced-off again with the Islanders of Texas A&M Corpus Christi for the second time this week, but this time the Islanders played host and unlike the previous game, the Islanders took Friday's contest 3-2.
Robert Gasser got his second start of the season on Friday night, and he went five innings giving up two runs while certainly keeping his team in the game . . . Gasser took the mound for the sixth, but after a hit batter, he was replaced by Jacob Deese . . . Desse promptly struck out the first batter and got the next batter to hit into an inning-ending double play.
The Cougars were scoreless until the sixth inning when Tyler Bielamowicz delivered a one-out single to left to score Steven Rivas from third . . . Bielamowicz was one of the offensive stars of the night going 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI, and Tyler reached base a fourth time when he walked.
The Islanders added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth, and were about to add a run but for an alert play by Steven Rivas on a grounder just beyond the reach of a diving Brad Burckel. Rivas fielded and immediately fired to Dylan Post at home for a catch-and-tag at the plate.
Ryan Hernandez was 2-for-4 and Steven Rivas drove in the only other Cougars run on a ninth inning error that scored Cole Turney from second in a last inning would-be comeback . . . The Cougars left eleven runners on base Friday night . . . Just as in the season opener last Saturday, the Cougars used only two pitchers in the game, Robert Gasser and Jaycob Deese . . . Gasser took the loss to even his record at 1-1 on the season.
The 3-2 defeat was the first of the season for the Cougars . . . The two teams get back at it Saturday when they face off again at 6pm at Whataburger Field.
Houston Cougars Recap the 2020 TCL
The Texas Collegiate League (TCL) season came to an end on Saturday night in Bryan. The one-game championship proved to be an anti-climactic 13-2 affair, and was not typical of most of the month-long season which saw plenty of low scoring and quality baseball.
The Houston Cougars were represented on two of the ten TCL teams throughout the season. And one of them was on the winning side of that championship win.
The TCL is a wooden bat league, common for college play during the summer in the various leagues across the country that offer athletes the opportunity to play baseball when school is not in session. Five active Cougars and one incoming junior college transfer made up part of the roster for the Round Rock Hairy Men, which played their home games at Dell Diamond, the home of the AAA Round Rock Express. One other incoming junior college transfer found a spot of the Brazos Valley Bombers which played their home games at Travis Park in Bryan, just north of College Station.
Round Rock saw their season come to end with two regular season games remaining, and with a playoff spot almost certainly assured. Their final weekend series was a three game set with San Antonio, two of the games were to be played in Round Rock, with the middle game to be played in San Antonio. Rain forced the cancellation of Friday night's game.
Then on Saturday came the announcement out of Round Rock that the Hairy Men would not be traveling to San Antonio and that in fact, the season was being put on ice amid Covid-19 concerns in the organization. In a statement released just six hours before the scheduled first pitch in San Antonio, Round Rock General Manager, Tim Jackson stated, "With just two games remaining in the season, out of an abundance of caution, we felt it was in the best interest of our players and staff to end the season now."
Teams across the TCL had taken numerous player, personnel, and facility precautions in this shortened 2020 season, but the Round Rock team found itself erring on the side of caution and deciding to end the season with a couple of games left to go. As a result, the Hairy Men forfeited their final two games and declared they would not be taking part in a playoff series set to begin the following Tuesday, should their team have made it.
For the Houston Cougars on the Round Rock team, the cancellation of the season came at a time when they were playing some of their best baseball, including having just completed a three-game sweep of the eventual TCL champions, the Brazos Valley Bombers, at Dell Diamond.
From day one of the formation of the team, the Round Rock players and organization talked about the importance of baseball during the summer after the abrupt end of the college baseball season back in March.
The day before the season opened, the Cougars players voiced their thoughts about playing again, and to a man, they talked about improving their individual games and how much they really wanted to play again. They also noted the importance of having so many teammates with them in Round Rock.
Ryan Hernandez had one of the great seasons in the entire league. Just prior to the season, Ryan appeared dialed-in as he spoke about working each day with purpose and vision. He only lost the batting title on the last day of the season when the eventual leader went 4-for-4 lifting his average to .367 over Ryan's .364. Hernandez also had multiple-hits in ten of his twenty-three games played, along with six home runs.
Reflecting on the season upon its conclusion, Hernandez echoed those pre-season sentiments again, "I saw this summer as an opportunity to work on stuff that I felt needed some fixing. My approach was the most important part of my game this summer and it's going to continue to be that way. After refining my approach and honestly hunting pitches that I like, it got much easier to hit."
Cougars freshmen Rey Mendoza and Luke Almendarez each found full-time roles with the Hairy Men, Mendoza in the outfield and Almendarez at second and shortstop.
On the challenge that the league presented to him, Mendoza offered this, "What surprised me about the TCL season is the amount of talent and competitiveness there was throughout the league. The pitching was definitely challenging in this league, and it was fun being able to face some great arms this summer."
Rey was no newcomer to the use of a wooden bat, but he explained that it had been a few years since the last time he played with one, "I hadn't really used a wooden bat in a game since my junior year summer with my travel ball team. I tried to just stick with the same approach I have with a metal bat which is to hit a fastball up the middle or opposite field." Rey hit in sixteen of his twenty-seven games played, a stat that is slightly misleading in that Rey had four games where he only had one at-bat as a late-inning defensive replacement or as a pinch hitter. Rey also was a perfect 7-for-7 in stolen base attempts.
Almendarez also took positives from the TCL experience, "I loved hitting with the wood bat this summer. Finding that one perfect wood bat is a great feeling. I learned a lot about my approach that will definitely transition to college." Luke raised his batting average by forty-one points in his last nine games played. Luke's summer play has him ready to return to campus to get back to the grind, "What I'm focused on most is staying healthy and working on my game as much as I can. I'm excited to get back to Houston and to get to work. I'm pumped to see all the guys again, hopefully very soon."
Kyle Lovelace was a late season addition to the Round Rock team, and then platooned with the other catchers, including Cougars teammate Dylan Post. Kyle joined the team after the season got underway as the Round Rock organization went in search of a catcher after an injury sidelined their game one catcher in his first at-bat of the season.
Kyle enjoyed his time in the league and offered his thoughts as a catcher, "The quality of pitching this summer was phenomenal. The diversity of arms we had was incredible. Guys were able to command the zone well and throw multiple pitches for strikes. We had guys that were power arms and guys that could come in and mix-and-match. I really enjoyed being able to get back there and catch these guys."
Kyle Lovelace takes the game seriously when he is behind the plate, whether in a college season or as a part-time player in a college summer league. Kyle's defensive style only shocks those who have never seen him play. Opposing radio announcers seemed shocked at the number of times Kyle went hunting for base runners, with throws behind them or throws when the runners looked disinterested. Anyone who has watched Houston Cougars baseball in recent years is not surprised to see Kyle constantly checking on runners, and often clearing them off the base paths.
Most, if not all, catchers in the TCL called their own pitches, rather than looking to the dugout for each pitch. Asked how a veteran catcher prepares for calling a game in a wood bat league, Lovelace says, "The only thing that changed really was that we were a little more aggressive in because guys are holding sticks in their hands, maybe more aggressive with the fastball."
"I know all of these guys well and have phenomenal relationships with them already," Lovelace said of teaming-up with so many of his Cougars teammates this summer. As a team leader, Kyle is setting the standard, "All of the Coogs had a great summer, but it's expected."
Freshman Dylan Post was one of several platoon catchers for the Hairy Men and he had a great all-around season, both defensively and offensively. Runners attempting to steal did not find much success against Dylan. With the wooden bat, he hit .306 and hit two home runs in nineteen games. In those nineteen games, Dylan had base hits in thirteen of them.
Incoming transfer Cole Turney, who last played college baseball this year at San Jacinto College, hit six doubles and three home runs in twenty-two games played while playing the outfield. Cole had at least one RBI in eight different games for Round Rock.
Jaycob Deese is another junior college transfer like Turney, though Deese is coming from Galveston College. Deese managed a 3.86 ERA with nine strikeouts in 9 1/3 innings pitched over four starts. Jaycob's final outing was abbreviated after just one inning pitched by the right-hander.
Deese had a different journey into the TCL than the other Cougars. Jaycob was pitching in Bryan, at Travis Park, while playing in the Collegiate Summer Baseball Invitational (CSBI) in June. He was hitting 96mph during a bullpen session when a Brazos Valley coach approached him about playing for the Bombers in the TCL. Deese was on the team Saturday night when they picked up the championship over the Tulsa Drillers.
Once there, Deese enjoyed his time in the TCL, "It was a great experience. I had never played in front of that many fans. Galveston College was a really small school and playing in front of that many fans was cool," he explained. Talking specifically about pitching, and pitching hard, in a wood bat league, Deese noted, "You can miss a spot and still miss a barrel and they can break a bat. Going inside is better too with the velo I had, it was easier."
Ryan Hernandez was proud of his Cougars teammates when the season concluded, "It almost seems like everyday another Cougar was highlighted for their good work. I am really looking forward to this upcoming season since the Coogs are hot."
Having so many Cougars on one summer league team was beneficial beyond measure in at least one respect. As Luke Almendarez put it, "Having Ryan Hernandez and Kyle Lovelace there was awesome. Those guys are leaders for us younger guys. You watch them play and they play the game the right way and they play hard."
Talking with Ryan Hernandez, it is easy to see that he liked the discipline of the league, and perhaps that mentality paid dividends for the other Cougars, "We had some practices before every game to work on different skills everyday. I found it to be super beneficial to me and my teammates that we weren't only just playing for fun but also still having some order and skill development too." That is the type of "summer camp" that Almendarez and the "younger guys" got to be a part of this year.
As for the immediate future, these players have seen two baseball seasons ended early in the last five months because of Covid-19 concerns. There are no guarantees about the next season, or even the next academic year, but these ball players are hungry and they are ready to get back to work just over a week after their last season ended.
"I'm just eager to get back on campus and work out with my teammates," said Rey Mendoza. Kyle Lovelace voiced similar sentiments about his fellow Cougars, "I'm really proud of them and looking forward to rolling that into a great season this spring."
And Ryan Hernandez, ever the focused worker, is ready for what is next, "Now that the season is over I am going to start working on getting stronger and getting as fit as possible. Since we do have strength and conditioning workouts I look forward to getting my body right for the upcoming season. I am also planning on consistently talking with the other Coogs about approach and finding their moneymaker pitch so that we can be ready to roll once again."
When it was over, the player excitement and optimism expressed prior to the season was still there. Rather than being disappointed the season ended earlier than planned and a playoff spot was forfeited, the Cougars looked back on the games they did get to play; at how they grew, not only as players, but as teammates.
The fall of 2020 awaits with no answers and no guarantees, and hope springs eternal that these young men take the field as a team in scarlet and white in February 2021. –

Houston Cougars Halfway Through the 2020 TCL Season
ROUND ROCK – Thursday night marked the halfway point in the Texas Collegiate League (TCL) season, which lasts for thirty games and a playoff. The Houston Cougars are well represented in this summers TCL, with a total of seven players now filling roster spots on two different teams.
The TCL is a wooden bat league, giving spectators a chance to view hitters without the added pop of the aluminum bats, and giving pitchers a chance to experiment and challenge hitters without worrying that each and every mistake is going to leave the ballpark. Several host teams play their home games in minor league ballparks, including Tulsa, Round Rock, San Antonio, Frisco, and Amarillo.
Ryan Hernandez is leaving his mark on the TCL this summer. Just a few days ago Hernandez was named TCL Player of the Week for the week of July 7-13. Ryan hit .474 on the week three doubles, three home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored. At the halfway point, he is batting .365 overall with five home runs and twelve RBI. Ryan has played in thirteen of the teams fifteen games so far, and he has only been held hitless in two of those games.
Ryan had been at home in Boston since the Cougars season ended and arrived back in Texas just a few days before the TCL season got underway. Asked at Hairy Men media day about being in Round Rock for real baseball now, Ryan replied quickly, "This is amazing." Hernandez was also hoping to "get some reps at third base" to keep his versatility, but so far his time has been spent playing first base. "Whatever they want me to do, they can count on me."
One of the Hernandez home runs occurred at Dell Diamond in Round Rock on July 8. The blast was so pure it cleared the Home Run Porch, well beyond the left-field wall. Andrew Felts, the director of PR and Communications for the Round Rock Express and the Hairy Men said after the blast, "In my four years with the Round Rock Express, I've seen four players send a ball over the Home Run Porch at Dell Diamond: Jorge Bonifacio, Joey Gallo, Yordan Alvarez…and Ryan Hernandez."
Besides clearing the Home Run Porch, another thing those home runs all had in common: All were done with wooden bats.
Cole Turney has two home runs for Round Rock while playing the outfield. The incoming SanJac transfer has twelve hits overall, including hits in nine of his fourteen games played, and a 3-for-4 game. Turney bats left and has spent a sizable portion of his time batting in the third spot, just in front of Ryan Hernandez. When asked the day before the season started about being in the TCL this summer, he said he was excited for the season, "being out here feels like being back at home." And asked about his expected playing time in a possibly crowded outfield, Turney said, "just as long as I'm out here and I get my work in every day, I'm not worried about that."
Rey Mendoza is hitting .279 this summer having collected twelve base hits over eight games. Rey has four multi-hit games to his credit. The left-handed-hitting Mendoza was having a nice freshman season for the Cougars before the season ended and there may have been no one more anxious than he was to get on the field and play again. At media day for the Hairy Men, Mendoza commented, "Just to be in this atmosphere of baseball again is amazing."
Dylan Post has been platooning at catcher with two other catchers, he does have a home run in his limited time behind the plate. As the season was about to get underway, Post said, "I just want to get back to actually playing." Not knowing a season-ending injury was about to sideline one of the other catchers on the team the next day, Dylan has caught the most innings of the group to this point, and defensively Post has played well. Dylan is batting .364 to this point and has had a base hit in six of his eight games played (Worth noting, in one of those eight games played, Post was only a pinch-hitter with one at-bat).
Luke Almendarez is playing some tremendous defense at both shortstop and second base. His batting average has inched up in recent games, along with key RBI production. Luke has two multi-hit games and has a base bit in seven of his games played and three stolen bases. For Luke, the opportunity to play in Round Rock is a return home for the first-year Cougar.
Veteran Cougars catcher Kyle Lovelace joined the Round Rock team late. A season-ending injury to the opening day catcher in the team's first game of the season created a very quick opening on the roster for a backstop. Kyle has only played in four games at the halfway point. He caught all of Round Rock's combined no-hitter on Thursday night, when three pitchers closed out the first half of their season by no-hitting the Acadiana Cane Cutters.
The only player in the Texas Collegiate League not playing for the Round Rock Hairy Men is right-hander Jaycob Deese who pitches for the Brazos Valley Bombers. The incoming transfer from Galveston College has made three starts at the halfway point of the season. In his most recent start, Deese tossed three scoreless innings, striking out four. It was his second consecutive three-inning start after having gone 2 1/3 innings in his first start. So far Deese has allowed three earned runs for a 3.24 ERA combined with eight strikeouts.
With half of the season left to play, there is a lot to look forward to. The Cougars players are getting valuable playing time in the TCL facing good opposition in one form or another on every team they play. For fans wanting to catch games, opportunities are few in number, but every ballpark is reachable the rest of the way, tickets are affordable, and all ballparks are taking plenty of precautions with regard to spectator safety.
The Hairy Men begin the second half of their season Friday night when they host the Amarillo Sod Dogs for a three-game weekend series. –

Future Cougar: Cole Turney
Cole Turney bats for the SanJac Gators
(Photo by Brenda McMillan Photography)
For outfielder Cole Turney, the 2020 baseball season was supposed to be an attempt at a full year of baseball as a healthy player. Instead, the Houston Cougars signee saw a promising season, and a healthy one to that point, end prematurely as a worldwide pandemic put everything on hold for everyone.
Cole Turney was in his second season as a SanJac Gator, he spent his freshman year at the University of Arkansas. Cole had one season end because of a left shoulder injury. He had another season end with a right shoulder injury. Turney decided to return to SanJac for one more season where he would most certainly get some playing time, something much needed for a ballplayer coming back from injury.
His SanJac Gators were rolling this season. Until the second week of March. They were on their way to Galveston for their next, and possibly final game of the season. "We were all thinking, there's a good chance this is our last game," because during the hour long ride to Galveston social media was going crazy with one cancellation after another. Reflecting on it now, Turney says, "It was tough for our season to end because we were so good. We were really good and we all knew it." Then he admits, when the news came that they were all expecting, "that was a depressing call."
Asked if he was happy with where his game was before the season ended, Turney does not mince words, "absolutely."
Despite playing well, and staying healthy, Turney, like all other college and high school baseball players, suddenly had to go to a backup plan. With the usual tough stay-in-place orders everywhere else, the backup plan started at home. "I have a gym in my garage at my house," said Cole. He was working out at home for the first several weeks until recently when things began to re-open. "I go workout up in North Houston at a facility where I can hit and workout," says Turney.
Turney is chomping at the bit to get back to real action, that includes playing summer ball, as soon as summer ball starts playing again. Turney says, "I'm just kind of waiting on that call, waiting on things to unfold." That call cannot come soon enough for him.
When the time is right, Cole is ready and anxious to get on campus "as soon as I can." One thing he immediately wants to happen, is "hopefully we'll be able to lift with a strength coach."
When Cole was nine years of age, his little league had a select team for nine year olds. "We were nine years old but we were so elite, we took it so seriously early on, we were the number one team in the nation as nine year olds," says Turney. That year during their tournament, rain forced the shutdown of all of the rest of the tournament games except for the game his team was playing in. As the only action in the complex, "everyone gravitated to our field" says Turney, recounting the story. At least a thousand people watched the nine year olds play.
Cole Turney Connects
Turney is a baseball guy from beginning to end. He laid out the positives of playing at a school like SanJac and he describes the value of the instruction and the competition to the development of young players. It is the kind of thing that a great baseball mind thinks and speaks.
SanJac assistant coach Kory Koehler offered his thoughts on Turney, "When I think about a player and what I hope to get out of him, it's a player who is like a sponge. A player who is willing to listen to instruction and implement what he can envision being beneficial without second guessing the instructor. A player whose willingness to put in the work far exceeds expectations and a player who's respect for the game is on a whole other level. When I think of a player to offer an opportunity to and what characteristics that player must have both on and off the field, I envision the next Cole Turney. He is 100% a coach's dream." Coach Koehler, a University of Houston alum himself, concluded "I've had two wonderful years with Cole and I can't wait to see him continue his playing career at my alma mater."
As for his upcoming journey to the campus at the University of Houston, as with everyone waiting for the call to confirm the times and dates that things get going again, Turney is ready, "I want to do some big things in Houston." –

Listen to Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's 1st Hit Together
Who knew that the song "It's Your Love" might have been the key for Tim McGraw's lasting relationship with wife Faith Hill? Apparently, the song was their first duet together as an artist. It was also their first hit that made them a certified power couple in the country scene.
However, what was the song all about and how was it like for Tim McGraw to sing this with her girlfriend (then) Faith Hill?
via Screengrab from YouTube
The Story of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
The song was released back in 1997 and it was a big hit in the country charts. Before the release of their single, the two were still dating. When Tim McGraw heard the demo, he immediately pitched it to Faith Hill wanting to listen to her version.
via John Shearer/WireImage/People
In a sense, the song was instrumental in their marriage because it felt like it was perfectly made for them and their love. Both sang it well and with the emotions of two people who are genuinely in love with each other. We can't deny the success of the song from the charts and from the awarding bodies that acknowledged the brilliance of the song.
Lyrics Breakdown
It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
via BILLBOARD
This is what you usually hear from a person who is irrevocably in love with someone. Up to this day, this power couple proves to be more and more in love with each other. The line about "sending a shock through me" is an interesting way to put your love into perspective. If you ever felt the love in your life, you would probably agree with it.
Love can make you feel overwhelmed sometimes and this Tim McGraw-song perfectly delivers that. For some unimaginable reason, love is the strongest emotion there is. We are all driven to do something because we love it or someone loves it and we want to do it for them.

Looks easy: New VQR editor has magic touch
By Stephen Boykewich
Published online Thursday Mar 18th, 2004
and in print issue #0311 dated Thursday Mar 18th, 2004
Everybody has problems. Not everybody has the kind you'd kill for.
Meet Ted Genoways.
His latest problem? Trying to get clearance from the State Department to run a penetrating essay on the reconstruction of Iraq– written by an actual member of the reconstruction– in time for the spring issue of the Virginia Quarterly Review, the legendary Charlottesville-based literary magazine for which Genoways is editor-in-chief at the ripe old age of 31.
Nobody ever said life would be easy.
Though he only recently arrived in town to take the helm at VQR, Genoways is no stranger to Charlottesville literary life. As an MFA student in poetry writing at UVA in 1997, he faced quite a different sort of problem at VQR: He wanted an internship and they weren't offering. So he did what anybody would do. He started his own national literary magazine.
"Ted doesn't just have ideas," says UVA professor Stephen Cushman. "He makes them happen, and he does so fast."
Genoways founded Meridian more or less out of thin air, and pulled off an incredible coup with the first issue, obtaining an excerpt from Russell Banks' monumental novel Cloudsplitter, as well as an interview with the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist. Genoways' lighthearted explanation of how he did it tells you all you need to know about his powers of persuasion:
"I basically begged and begged his agent until she couldn't take it anymore."
Afterward came a job at the Minnesota Historical Society Press, where the first book he edited won an American Book Award. "Talk about setting the bar too high," he laughs.
It was the first of a string of editorial successes, complemented by the success of his first collection of poems, Bullroarer, which won the 2001 Nebraska Book Award. Last April came the luckiest problem yet. Genoways was offered the editorship of VQR midway through his first year in the English PhD program at the University of Iowa. Unsurprisingly, he's found a way to do both.
With just one issue under his belt, Genoways' VQR work is generating plenty of attention. That's all the more impressive because he only recently arrived in town to take the VQR helm from the late and highly acclaimed Staige Blackford.
The once-staid journal now features glorious color, a huge web presence, and some of the most engaging fiction, non-fiction, and poetry to be found anywhere in America. Virginia Foundation for the Humanities president Rob Vaughan remembers Genoways' spirited work on the Virginia Festival of the Book in the late '90s. "He's already bringing that same energy and vision to VQR," Vaughan says.
For his part, Genoways is most excited about the magazine's unique balance of creative and critical material.
"No other place I know of is so fully committed to both things," he says.
No other guy I know of makes problems look like so much fun.

It is present in Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia. It still covers the greatest range among all gray wolf subspecies. The size of their territories depends on the abundance of food and water. They are very adaptable to different environments.
On average, European gray wolves weigh from 70 to 130 pounds and can measure up to 39 inches at shoulder height. They can vary in length from 40 to 65 inches with females about twenty per cent smaller than males. Their fur is known to be shorter and more dense as compared to the North American wolf. Their colors range from white, cream, red, grey and black, sometimes with all colors combined.
Gray wolves feed on ungulates and rodents, fruits, berries, and fish. Depending on availability of prey, gray wolves may or may not hunt in packs.
Breeding seasons vary from January in low latitudes to April in high latitudes. The female will give birth to 4-7 pups after 61-63 days of gestation. To maintain the strength of the pack, only the dominant pair mate. However, all members of the pack are involved in raising the young.
Mortality factors affecting wolves include persecution by humans, killing by other wolves, diseases, parasites, starvation, and injuries by prey. The average lifespan in the wild is between 7 and 10 years.

The Darkness of Game of Thrones
May 4, 2016 by Nathaniel
There will be Game of Thrones spoilers in this post.
The cover of Game of Thrones, back before it went mainstream.
George R. R. Martin can write.1 I've known that since I read A Game of Thrones nearly 20 years ago. I was bothered by crippling a child in one of the first scenes, and by the time I got to Ned Stark's execution at the end of the book I knew that the series wasn't for me. I haven't read any other books in the series, and I haven't watched a single episode of the HBO adaptation. But, because I follow a lot of pop culture with interest, I do keep up with most of the memorable moments. From the Red Wedding to the death of Jon Snow, I keep tabs.
And it's pretty grim stuff.
It turns out that Jon Snow's not dead after all, by the way. This is the big reveal in the most recent episode, but it was overshadowed by, you know, brutally feeding a mother and her child to a pack of ravenous dogs. Here's what Kelly Lawler wrote about it:
So in an episode where fans were given what might be the greatest news they could hope for, they were also treated to a mother and newborn child being eaten alive by dogs. Why? I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you that an episode like "Home" demonstrates what is the fundamental underpinning of this show: It will do anything in its desperation to shock you. And while having actors and producers flat-out lie for a year in the press is the more innocent end of that spectrum, we certainly hope we're not forced to listen to more infants being eaten alive. Because that's not the shock we're looking for.
Lawler goes on:
And so the audience was treated to the sounds and very nearly the sight of a woman and her newborn son being ripped apart by dogs. We've already seen countless women raped, a young girl burned alive by her own father, not to mention the weekly grind of violence and death we've become accustomed to. Sure, some of that is par for the course with the genre and the path this show has decided to take, but even for the most ardent fans, for the most faithful viewer, when is enough enough? Is there no line this show won't cross?
There is something that people do not seem to understand about values, and it is this. Particular values are subjective and contingent. But having values at all is objective and universal. Where a society chooses to draw lines in what is acceptable and what is not changes with history and location and context. That societies draw lines is not.
Lawler seems to think that the important question is, how far do you go? But that doesn't really matter, because different societies–and different individuals–have their own tolerances and their own lines in the sand. Location is largely meaningless. What matters is direction. Lawler writes that the show "will do anything in its desperation to shock you." Why desperation? Because the more you shock the audience, the less sensitive they become.
No matter what your tolerances are, the danger–I believe–comes in crossing them habitually and for no higher purpose and in so doing desensitizing yourself. The world we live in certainly does not need less sensitivity. It certainly does not need less empathy. It does not need less light.2
Just something to think about.

4 thoughts on "The Darkness of Game of Thrones"
Ivan Wolfe
The show is ahead of the books at this point, and the books are plenty violent and shocking, but from what I've heard (I haven't seen the TV series), the series goes above and beyond the books in crossing lines, such as adding nudity and sex in scenes where they weren't in the books, and turning consensual sex in the books into rape in the series.
All of that is true, Ivan, but it's still living out the spirit of the books. They may not have been as violent or as sexual, but they had plenty of both and–what's more–they were deliberately trying to repudiate the image of fantasy as idealistic. Oh, you think kids are off limits? Watch as I throw one out the window to get things started. Oh, you think the good guys should win? Watch me behead the good guy at the end of the first book and devastate his family.
This is why I loved the Epic Rap Battle featuring George R. R. Martin vs. J. R. R. Tolkien. It pointed out that Tolkien, a veteran of the trenches of World War I, didn't feel the need to indulge in gratuitous violence not because he was some fluffy-headed romantic, but because he'd seen the true horrors of war. Martin, by contrast, was LARP-ing during Vietnam. So naturally he fills his books with horror and barbarism because, frankly, what does he know about it. That critique seems to hold at the general level as well. HBO subscribers are part of the most prosperous, pampered and protected generation in the history of humankind. So naturally they want to watch a show where a mother and her infant are torn apart by dogs.
It seems so edgy to fill novels with murder and rape, but what kind of edginess is it, really?
So yeah: the show has upped the ante, but "upping the ante" is, itself, what Martin's novels have been about since the beginning.

As always, Nathaniel you have a way of articulating some profound concepts. "Where a society chooses to draw lines in what is acceptable and what is not changes with history and location and context. That societies draw lines is not." What a profound observation! Thank you! You restore my faith in the IQ of the human race, both intellectually and morally.
And after Trump's win last night, I need some restoration.
Good points. I read the series into a Feast for Crows and then stopped, both because the sex/violence was becoming (for me) too repulsive, and because the plot seemed to have come to a dead halt. Purely from a literary point of view I think Martin could have written a great trilogy but his 7-book ambition got the better of him.
I once saw some Martin fans online defending the gore and violence with a "this is realism, go and read Tolkien for cheerful fantasy" line. Apart from application of the word "realism" to books involving dragons and warlocks, this seemed to involve an assumption that violence and lust are "real" in a way that love and honor are not (I think C.S. Lewis said something about this in one of his books). And one of Martin's tricks in this regard was to make the "good" guys almost incredibly and pathetically naïve, and the bad guys almost preternaturally cunning and effective. Hence, Eddard Stark dies because he gave Cersei Lannister advance notice of his intent to arrest her in some reductio ad absurdium of chivalry, and Tyrion Lannister, set adrift by Lyssa Arryn in a land of savage tribes who kill all travelers, somehow persuades all of the tribes not only to let him through, but to follow him as their leader (something for which there is no historical parallel). In other words, part of Martin's game is not only the consistent sex and violence, but (it seems) the message that those who refrain from such will come to grief through their own innocence.
Well, given how slow his progress has been recently, I suppose I should be more specific. When Mr. Martin writes, it's very good.
FYI, A Game of Thrones is very, very far from the darkest stuff out there. If you really want to read a book with lots of child-torture and child-rape, then you should skip George R. R. Martin and head straight for N. K. Jemisin.

The left would love nothing more than to eviscerate the 1st and 2nd amendment.
Collectivism ALWAYS leads to totalitarianism. 100,000,000+ corpses in the 20th century can attest to this.
Unless ALEX JONES! is on every page of every newspaper and magazine in AMERICA! and EVERY WEB PAGE IN THE WORLD at no cost to him or his readers, AMERICA! is MEANINGLESS!
Neocons, hand in hand with Progressives, together bitching about Russian Propaganda.
anyone else noticing a pattern here?
dividing into groups, repeating lies, hurling accusations, these are all counterproductive. The solution is finding and focusing on our common interests, our common truths and our common problems in order to move forward together to meet the challenges and achieve the goals that are common to us all.

Report: Ohio State considered playing Ohio this weekend to replace canceled Michigan game
Scott Schultz | 1 month ago
Turns out the speculation was true, and Ohio State was looking to find other schools to play in case it needed to add a game to their schedule.
While plenty of scenarios were making the rounds, including potential matchups with Texas A&M and Oklahoma, according to a report from Rob Oller of Buckeye Xtra, the Buckeyes had talked with Ohio University.
"Actually, Ohio State was looking to fill its own Saturday schedule before choosing Wednesday to stop pursuing a make-up game," Oller wrote. "… What we do know is that in doing his due diligence Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith reached out to schools that had Saturday open, including Ohio University, before deciding the best course of action was no action."
Ohio State looked into playing Ohio University on Saturday before dropping the idea. https://t.co/BudrpPSTee
— Rob Oller (@rollerCD) December 10, 2020
But, as the Big Ten removed the minimum game threshold for teams to play in the conference championship, the Buckeyes will still have a chance to take on Northwestern, and look to improve their College Football Playoff chances.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big Ten has prohibited its schools from playing in non-conference games in 2020, although the thought was that Ohio State may have been able to get an exception from the league.

Old Ordnance Survey Maps of County Antrim
These detailed maps normally cover an area of about one and a half miles by one mile. They are available through our On-line Mapshop
Here are the details of maps for Larne:
Co Antrim Sheet 40.04 Larne 1903 - published 2004; introduction by Alan Godfrey. ISBN 978-1-84151-703-2
This very detailed map covers the important harbour town of Larne, which grew after James Chaine developed the Larne-Stranraer short sea crossing in the 1870s. Most of the town is covered on this busy map and major features include the Harbour station and the two Town stations - for the Carrickfergus and Ballymena lines - as well as the railway layouts in detail, incl engine sheds; the Ballymena line was narrow gauge, and the two lines are shown running parallel to the harbour. Other features include the northern part of Inver (around the stations), Inver Mill, Market Place, Invermore, Bleach & Dye Works, Pound Street, Main Street, Union Workhouse, McGarel Buildings, Linen Weaving Factory, Aluminium Works, Curran House, Olderfleet Hotel, Chaine Monument, Drumalis (or Drumaliss) and much more. The list of inhabitants from a 1904 directory is included on the rear. The notes give the background to Larne's fasacinating history: the development of the harbour, railways and linen industry; the story of Drumalis, once site of a monastery, later home to the powerful Chaine and Smiley families, parade ground for the UVF after the famous gun-running of 1914; the celebrated local author, Anna Margaret McKittrick, sometimes acclaimed as "the World's Worst Writer". The town centre of Larne has changed greatly since 1903, making this map all the more interesting.
Follow this link for other maps for Co Antrim maps together with prices and other details, or here for a complete list of titles for Ireland.
You can order maps direct from our On-line Mapshop. For other information, and other areas, go to The Index Page.
Maps in the Godfrey Edition are taken from the 25 inch to the mile map and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile.

The more use of smart device features we make in our apps like GPS, compass or Camera, the more windows users are out of the game although these devices have the same capability (or at least similar).
ICAA for Windows and Nomad for IOS/Android is no good platform independent strategy.
I would prefer to call HCL Nomad the new Notes Client "light" and would like to see it on all platforms.
What would be the difference to the Notes Basic client which exists today?
I think the need is for Nomad to also run inside a Web browser to handle situations in which a Notes client (or ICAA) is not installed on a computer. The Notes Basic client and ICAA usually require some level of corporate adoption to get access. Users don't care for that. They just want to be able to download and install software quickly (once) to access an application. A browser plugin option for Nomad provides that.
@thomas: It would be light, fast and runs on windows as well as ios and android tablets the same way, also using the smart device features like GPS, camera and compass.
@thomas there is no Notes Basic client for macOS for example!
I would like to use a lightweight, easy to install and update Notes Basic client like ICAA or IBM Domino Mobile Apps a.k.a Nomad for iPad is, BUT I would like to open my own mail database within this client.
Add a notes.ini on macOS / Windows or iOS AppConfig setting the enable or disable personal mail access and all would be happy.
Customer wishes to install and run ICAA in iPad.

India Aviation 2016 – Hyderabad
Vinay Garg | - 02/29/2016
Featured, Tips-Trips
India Aviation 2016 takes place in Hyderabad from March 16 – 20 with Begumpet airport as the venue for the biennial show.
In addition to the exhibition, static display and demonstration flights, India Aviation 2016 will hold a conference on the civil aviation sector with a focus on policy issues and business aspects. Eminent speakers, policy makers, and experts will address the gathering. The Honorable Minister for Civil Aviation, Mr Gajapati Raju will inaugurate the event. The function will be attended by a who's who of Indian aviation industry and senior ministry officials.
Preceding this event, Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA) will host a one-day seminar on March 15, 2016. This is the fifth edition of the conference organised by Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) in conjunction with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), and Farnborough International Ltd (FIL) will be the overseas associate for this event.
India is one of the fastest growing markets in the region and currently the ninth largest civil aviation market in the world. With adequate policy support and augmentation of infrastructure, it presents a huge opportunity for growth and projected to be the third largest aviation market by 2020. Once aviation grows wings in India, it also has the potential to develop into an important MRO hub.
This show will attract more than 200 exhibitors from 11 countries. All major aircraft manufacturers, especially those dealing with business jets like Gulfstream, Bombardier, Embraer, and Dassault are expected to participate. The exhibition is expecting a footfall of more than 60 thousand in the form of business and general visitors.
The UAS India team will be present at this prestigious event. It will be a good opportunity to network with our existing and potential clients and seek feedback and opinion on the quality and experience of UAS service.
Hyderabad has two airports – Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) at Shamsabad and the old airport at Begumpet. While Begumpet airport is located in the central business district, Shamsabad is 30 kilometers from the town and takes about 45 minutes to reach the event venue. For business visitors travelling by commercial airlines, they would be disembarking at RGIA. The visitors should be in possession of a valid Indian visa.
Those aircraft taking part in static display and demonstration flights, the arrangement of CIQ facilities at Begumpet airport will facilitate their direct landing at the venue of the air show. Temporary Landing Permit (TLP) for crew can be arranged on arrival for a period not extending three days. This facility would be made available only for the crew and any guests travelling on board should be in possession of a valid Indian visa prior to arrival.
UAS India will cater to all requirements for aircraft and guests participating in this event – starting with 'meet and greet', arranging for landing clearances, ground handling, parking, refuelling, accommodation and crew transportation. Our staff will be right there to ensure that you have a smooth entry and comfortable stay during the show.
We look forward to seeing you at Hyderabad!

Super Zhong | - 11/24/2016


This weekend, the two-time Tony Award-winning actress and singer will make her Center for the Performing Arts debut. Backed by her trio and with singer Megan McGinnis, Foster will perform popular and show tunes from her CDs "Wish" and "An Evening with Sutton Foster: Live at the Cafe Carlyle," plus selections from her many starring roles on Broadway.
A multi-talented artist and performer, with acting, singing, dancing and visual art in her repertoire, Foster has won Tony Awards for best performance by a leading actress in a musical for the role of Millie Dillmount in "Thoroughly Modern Millie" in 2002, and for her performance as Reno Sweeney in "Anything Goes" in 2011.
There is something to be said for being in the right place at the right time. In Foster's case, it's also been about learning and growing, and taking advantage of the opportunities that have come her way.
At the age of 15, Foster landed a spot on the popular talent show "Star Search," a talent show with only two people competing against each other each week. Although she didn't win, Foster was grateful for the opportunity and has nothing but praise for what television has done for young aspiring artists.
She joined her local community theater and left high school to join the national tour of "The Will Rogers Follies" directed by Tommy Tune. She later attended Carnegie Mellon University for one year, but left to pursue a theatrical career full-time. After traveling across the country performing in various ensemble shows, Foster eventually made her way to New York.
The entertainment world is a competitive business with no absolute guarantees of success. But with hard work and determination, Foster is proof that anyone can achieve their goals, as long as they stay true to themselves and don't lose perspective, both personally and professionally.
In every sense, Foster's journey to success and potential for the future certainly defines living the American dream.
"I think I just want to challenge myself creatively and artistically in my career, and also to just challenge myself as a human being in my relationships and in my life," she said.

Q: How to redirect to a controller when a specific url is hit in java spring I have a URL say:www.xyz.com/abc and I want to redirect to a controller say:abcController.form. How can I implement this?
Actually I tried URLrewrite as below:
<rule>
    <from>^/abc$</from>
    <to last="true" type="redirect">/abccontroller.form</to>
</rule>

but its showing 404 URL not found in server.

A: Here is a link from Baeldung who gives very good explanations. TL;DR:
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class RedirectController {

    @GetMapping("/abc")
    public ModelAndView redirectWithUsingRedirectPrefix(ModelMap model) {
        model.addAttribute("attribute", "redirectWithRedirectPrefix");
        return new ModelAndView("redirect:/redirectedUrl", model);
    }
}

It's about the redirect: prefix. This will do a redirect in your Controller.

Q: Vertical align text alongside SVG icon I'm trying to align SVG icons alongside text. I've read lot of sources on how to do it, using vertical-align: middle being the best option for it.
I've also been able to do it, but there is one problem that I want answers to.
All the resources that I've seen, tell you to put vertical-align: middle only on the img element. E.g.
http://codepen.io/johnasp/pen/bqadn/
Vertically align text next to an image?
But in my particular case, I need to put vertical-align: middle on both the svg and the span element. The difference is very subtle. But it is there.
Here's the fiddle:

html, body {
    font-size: 32px;
}

.icon {
    height: 64px;
    width: 64px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

span {
    vertical-align: middle; // Try commenting this line
}

    <svg viewBox='0 0 16 16' class="icon" >
      <path d="M7.5 1c-4.142 0-7.5 3.358-7.5 7.5s3.358 7.5 7.5 7.5c4.142 0 7.5-3.358 7.5-7.5s-3.358-7.5-7.5-7.5zM7.5 14.5c-3.314 0-6-2.686-6-6s2.686-6 6-6c3.314 0 6 2.686 6 6s-2.686 6-6 6zM8 8v-2h2v-1h-2v-1h-1v1h-2v4h2v2h-2v1h2v1h1v-1h2l-0-4h-2zM7 8h-1v-2h1v2zM9 11h-1v-2h1v2z">
      </path>
    </svg>
    3.4Km

Try commenting the line which is giving vertical alignment to span tag, and see that the text would shift upwards.
Can someone tell me why I need to vertical align both my svg and span tags and not just the svg as is working everywhere else?

A: The main reason you were having problems was because your icon isn't sitting centrally in your SVG viewBox.
Your viewBox is "0 0 16 16" but if you check it, the icon actually occupies "0 1 15 15".  If you update the viewBox, it sits better on the line without having to vertically align your .

html, body {
    font-size: 32px;
}

.icon {
    height: 64px;
    width: 64px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

span {
}

    <svg viewBox='0 1 15 15' class="icon" id="foo">

Sousuke Yamazaki non ha sogni; Rin Matsuoka sogna abbastanza per entrambi.
Entrambi i ragazzi si imbarcano, appena tredicenni, sul mercantile Pryce - nella speranza di ottenere gloria e fortuna; ma ciò che spetta loro è un mondo di orrori e violenze, che non bada a risparmiare neanche gli innocenti.
Parlava spesso anche di quello: quando Rin sognava, sognava in grande. Non voleva essere un semplice mercante, ma entrare a far parte della Marina e avere una nave tutta sua, e si perdeva in lunghe descrizioni di come sarebbe stata. Poco importava che fosse bloccato su un mercantile.
E Sousuke sorrideva, e i sogni di Rin erano scivolati dentro i suoi.
This was so out-of-the-norm for Makoto that he didn't even know how to feel about it. This was his first time ever at a gay bar, and considering how it was going, probably his last.
Nagisa and Rei hadn't shut up about this place for six months, and Makoto had been feeling particularly lonely lately. After a rough string of failed relationships with girls who all claimed he wasn't man enough or wasn't loving enough as a boyfriend should be, he'd given up on dating for a while.
But the prospect of spending another Saturday night alone in his tiny apartment actually made him queasy, so he'd decided to go out and see where his feet led him. He'd thought that the gay bar his two friends had mentioned might be a potential destination, but he was still shocked when he found himself actually standing in front of it.
In which Milad's wedding day is very nearly a disaster, courtesy of his smitten parents and a scheming Toraichi Matsuoka.
(Or: Haru and Makoto are just as madly in love at forty as they were at twenty-one, and Rei really needs a vacation).
Rin learns the hard way that forgetting your little sister's birthday is a very dangerous thing to do!
It was just supposed to be a nice little summer at his dad's. Makoto didn't expect to be swept up in ocean waves and sweet heat and chewed lips, nor did he expect to cherish the slightest upturn of someone's mouth or how they turn away to blush. And Makoto really, really, wasn't expecting there to be mermaids.
But, then again, he also never thought that he could fall in love in a single summer, so perhaps it's all just not what Makoto expected.
Ai thought he was being paranoid at first, but when he caught Yamazaki senpai's disapproving frown during one of Momo's many flying-tackle-bear-hugs that he reserved specially for Rin, Ai knew that he had been right in his suspicions. Momo was being more touchy-feely with Rin senpai.
And Ai didn't like it.
Part 2 of Everyone Loves Rin!
The train was coming, Gou could feel it. The entire track was shuddering.
The shrill noise drilled into her ears. She had to get off the track.
Suddenly, she found herself stumbling.
It didn't stop for the signal.
Part 1 of Everyone Loves Rin!
Somewhere between the hospital and her home Gou realized the space between two years wasn't just seven hundred and thirty days. It was an expanse of years that stretched for eons.
"Thank you for saving me, but really-" She pulled at his hand to pull him up and then she saw it, a bright shimmer of something dark grey below the surface of the water, and she froze. The man watched her face and chuckled a little shyly, scratching at his chin.
"Sorry to scare you," he said again, but he was talking about something else now.


Paula and Faith were the first to leave at 7am. I managed to jump out of bed just in time to see them off.
Then I spent some quiet time by the pool before everyone else woke up and taking pics of our friendly pool floaties as I was leaving them behind.
For the last two days we have head a distinct bird call and seen a flash of red on the crest. Closer inspection revealed our little bird friend was a woodpecker!
And finally I had a bath in our outdoor tub.
All too quickly our little get away with friends was over. We were out the door and bundled into taxis to new destinations.
Rosie and Scotty were staying on for a few days like us. Dad and Ling, Sam and Steve were heading home. We had a final mojito or two with them at Tata and then we were two.
It was such a fun time – a mix of busy activity, relaxing, eating and just hanging out. Great people. Great friends. Great memories. Amazing that so many could join me all the way on the other side of the world for a party!
Now it was time for some relaxation in our beach house at Ahau Tulum. I booked this house back in December and at the time I wondered why it was so cheap and thought it was because it was hurricane season and would be very exposed on the beach. I even emailed them questioning the price. They assured me the beach house would be fine. Now that it was time to check in I was scared that I had made some sore of expensive mistake. I could not find my original booking email (because I sent to josh to book so he had it!) I checked the web page and the beach house was $370USD a night so it was with trepidation that we checked in.
To our great delight (and my relief!) the staff confirmed that due to a mistake on the booking site, we did indeed book the best spot in the place for the cheapest rate (beach house and Bali huts had the same code BH, but the Bali huts are tiny and no air conditioner). An unexpected but very welcome blessing.
So we relaxed and swam all afternoon, watching the pelicans dive for fish, and dozing (Snoring too apparently) on the sunbeds.
We walked to dinner and checked out a few of the places on my list and ended up back at I Scream Bar for cheap tacos and jalapeño poppers. It was happy hour as well so we ended up with two for one margaritas x 2.
The humidity really knocked us about again today. So we headed to our room to cool down as it was now air conditioner allowed time (7pm – 9am). They are trying to save the environment at many of the resorts in Tulum. The fan would be ok on its own if there was no mosquito net canopy above it that affected the down flow of air.
No sooner had we walked through the door than we heard the sound of water. Thinking it was the waves crashing. We opened the door to pouring rain and a massive storm with thunder and lightning that we could watch from our bed. Magnificent! And reminiscent of our honeymoon in Phuket.

I'm very mad that Chloe will not be on season 5. I am dissaponted in Abby as usual for all the trouble she's put Chloe in and not only Chloe, Paige, and Brooke also. I think that now that 3 team members are gone the show isn't gonna be as good. I will miss Chloe. And if Chloe and Paige and Brooke were still on the team especially Chloe I would have rated this show 5 stars but of course abby had to be her self and mess every thing up so I'm rating it 4!!! The team will not be the same and I hope abby suffers for the mistakes she has made and I hope she regrets letting Chloe go and the Hylands. I think it's gonna be worse. People quite watching the show when the Hylands left now Chloe has left and I think it's gonna be even worse. But I am happy for Chloe that she is at a new studio and in a better environment. And isn't treated like trash. And is getting better and more confident. We all know the team is falling apart next one to leave I think will be Nia and if that happens I really probably will have no interest left what's so ever!!!
Abby is clearly neurotic. She seems to be possessed. She could not argue with Holly on her level, so she resorted to criticizing Nia's feet instead. Once again, Abby "put her foot in her mouth."
I realize that people say Abby is abusive and I'm not going to argue on that because I definitely agree that she should treat her dancers and their mothers with more respect. That being said, I do not feel that everyone who watches contributes to the abuse. We watch to show those girls that we are rooting for them, and personally I think that the mothers are only trying to be there for their children and support them in their dreams. Yes, its unfortunate that they don't stick up for their children more to Abby but... maybe that is because they don't want to cause more trouble for their children. After all, anyone that watches this show can agree that fighting with Abby does not benefit the kids. In fact, it causes Abby to lash out at them even more. I think the mothers are doing very well with their children, which can be proven by looking at how mature and well behaved those children are. If you watch this show, remember that these are just KIDS and don't judge them so harshly... same with their parents. Its hard to be a parent and having to weigh EVERY consequence of your actions because they affect not only you, but more important;y your children. Point being, stop being so quick to judge these parents because the producers aren't showing us everything thats going on when they act out... Its called drama for a reason.
I have to pay for season 4.5?!?!!!
I bought the SD season pass of the show, but the newest episode is available and it's showing that I have to pay $1.99 to download it.


Break up the hake fillets with a fork and squeeze out most of the water. Place it in a mixing bowl.
Add the cooked baby potatoes to the fish and mash together. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix through.
Heat your non stick pan and add a little olive oil.
Form small balls (about the size of golf ball) with your hands and flatten.
Fry a few at a time in until golden brown on both sides. Serve with a hearty Salad.

1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster (Ref: ) In Stock
View other dealer cars
Follow	Compare
Fuel:Gasoline
Doors:2
Warranty:NA
If you're in the market for classic style with a modern twist, look no further - this 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster is the real deal! The body has been placed on a lowered late '80s S10 frame with new disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, custom built aluminum radiator, and and an impressively built 350 cubic inch V8. There's no shortage of power with this one. The new frame makes this car ride and drive like a dream and it is very tight going down the road. The exterior was sanded down to give it the vintage patina look, then clear-coated over to prevent further rust and to preserve the style. The body is not perfect by any means, but this wasn't built to be a show car. Despite the rat rod appearance on the outside, however, the interior is a one of a kind custom job that looks incredible in this car. From the door panels to the headliner, everything was hand stitched and crafted specifically for this car while retaining all the original door handles, interior lights, steering wheel, and the beautiful dash. You'll feel like you've stepped back in time when you're out cruising in this Fleetmaster, and it definitely doesn't go unnoticed when its out on the town.

Give your car a break. AutoTrain it!
EXIT 161 I-95n to: Fort Belvoir, Mt Vernon, Virginia
Are you tired of driving? Might you want to give your hardworking automobile some chill time? Do you feel like turning around and heading south for some Florida sunshine. But you do not want to drive? But you want your car? What do you do? How about training your vehicle to the Sunshine State?
The Lorton station is a railroad terminal in Lorton, Virginia. It is the northern terminal for Amtrak's Auto Train which operates between this station and sunny Sanford, Florida.
Although there are similar services around the world, the Auto Train is the only one of its kind in the United States. The Auto Train is the only north–south Amtrak train in the east to use Superliner cars. The train is notable, especially within the Amtrak system, for the high quality of its equipment and of its customer service.
The train operates every day. At 11:30 am, the station gates are opened to allow the passengers for the next trip into the vehicle staging area where vehicles are assigned their number, which is affixed to the driver's door magnetically. The vehicle is then video surveyed to document any pre existing dents and other damage. The passengers leave their vehicles here and take their carry-on bags with them into the station to await boarding. Passengers do have a choice between either coach seats or private sleeping car rooms while their cars, vans, sport utility vehicles or even boats are carried in enclosed automobile-carrying freight cars, called autoracks. The vehicles are themselves staged near the autorack ramps by size and length for optimal loading order, and are then loaded onto the autoracks. In the case of motorcycles, the owner assists with tying their bikes down.
Passengers do not have access to their vehicles during the trip. But with sleeping berths and dining cars, they do not lack for amenities.
Unfortunately for RoadSpoke fans, since The Auto Train avoids driving Interstate 95 in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and northern Florida you will get no auto tour and will miss out on hearing about Civil War Battles, homespun heroes, sports stars, Scarlett O'hara, and other southern wonders. And you better want to go to Florida and no place in between. The train is non-stop. All Aboard!

New York Times summer reading list sparks controversy
'Tis the season for landmark publications like The New York Times to compile their summer reading lists, but the choices are up for debate. - photo by Chandra Johnson
'Tis the season for landmark publications like The New York Times to compile their summer reading lists, but this year's choices are sparking some debate.
New York Times book critic Janet Maslin's summer picks included midsummer release heavy-hitters like Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" follow-up, "Go Set a Watchman," and Stephen King's newest, "Finders Keepers."
Slate's Katy Waldman blasted Maslin's list for its lineup of exclusively white authors.
"The ballot should never have made it through the NYTs dense editorial canopy," Waldman wrote.
Readers looking for more ethnic variety in their summer-reading authors could instead turn to Buzzfeed or Quartz's lists, which, in the latter's case, was even titled "Some African authors to add to The New York Times' list of summer books."
But Waldman and Huffington Post book critic Lev Raphael also called Maslin's taste into question.
Waldman called Maslin's list predictable and "lackluster."
"The titles seem chosen in order to pander to an out-of-touch, half-hearted approximation of middlebrow taste," Waldman wrote. "It pretends to comprehend the meaning of a beach read ('smart, funny fluff') and then nominates, for our mindless delectation, a 300 plus-page biography of the Wright brothers."
Raphael also accused Maslin of ignoring small presses entirely and instead pandering only to large, mainstream publishing houses.
"The unspoken assumption is that nobody else publishes anything worthwhile," Raphael wrote. "Reviewers like Maslin just don't know what they're missing, and they're cheating their readers."
Whether the blowback from Maslin's list stung The Times, Maslin announced shortly after the list was published that she was stepping down as a regular critic into a contributing role at The Times.
In a statement to Capital New York, Maslin did not specify whether mistakes were made with her book list, but she said her job was difficult, which fueled her decision.
"I've been a full-time critic since 1977," Maslin said. "It's a hard job and I've been doing it a very long time."
