1949 Town & Country convertible. A wonderful car solid car that has been garaged and well taken care for. The person I bought it from was a Dr. who owned it for 30 years. Recently the wood was completely refinished and a few minor things fixed. These pictures are before the wood refinish, if interested, I can send pictures of refinished work. All parts are original, interior is pristine, the outside is in very good condition. There are a few stone chips on the front area (where painted) and hood, the rest of the car’s paint is solid and shines well. Engine and transmission run perfectly. Every year it is one of three woodies chosen to be in front of the Coeur d Alene resort for the Coeur d Alene boat show. I am asking a very reasonable price of 75,000. You won’t find a better one for this price! For inquires send email to or call Keith at 208-651-3692

1941 Chrysler Town and Country -$320,000

 First appearing in 1941, the Town & Country represented a significant leap forward in wood-bodied car styling.  This 1941 Town & Country Barrel Back is a striking example of one of the most sought-after classic American woodies. One of only 996 of its kind produced it is a very desirable and significant piece of automotive history. The car offered was previously in the possession of the renowned woody expert the late Dr. L. Wesley “Wes” Aplanalp best known as the owner of Woodies USA of Scottsdale Arizona. Wes was more than just a dealer in wood-bodied cars; he was a passionate collector and a hub for collectors to share in his vast knowledge and he dealt in the finest quality cars of the type. This particular car is believed to have been sold by Wes in the last 15 years. It has been comprehensively refurbished and restored and presents in stunningly beautiful condition today. It is highly original and as such the body appears never to have been off the chassis. Remarkably the extensive wood work is highly original. The wood in these cars is not just decorative it is integral to the structure of the body and as such it can be subjected to stresses. Few have survived the elements and the rigors of regular use as exquisitely as this car has. Only the contrasting panels in the doors and body sides appear to have been replaced. The paint is attractive the chrome has been restored to a high standard and it wears factory fog lamps and a fantastic wooden roof rack a desirable and attractive option.Inside this car is in 9-seat specification showing extremely nicely in partially restored condition with fine maroon leather upholstery. The dash is an exquisite display of high-deco design with geometric chrome details amidst a striking marbled Bakelite dash panel and steering wheel. It’s quite unlike anything else of the period. Switches and instruments appear to be totally original further evidence of this car’s outstanding originality. It is well-equipped with an original clock heater and radio. In the engine bay resides a nicely detailed “Spitfire” inline six mated to a fluid-drive “Vacumatic” transmission.

1941 Chrysler Town and Country -$375,000

Wonderfully Preserved 1941 Chrysler “Barrel Back” / CCCA Full Classic

Having handled, owned and traded an untold numbers of high end CCCA Classics over the years it becomes difficult to really be impressed, but this car literally takes my breath away. This is a 66,000 mile, wonderfully preserved and never restored example of without a doubt the “wooden car” era’s most extravagant model. The “Town and Country Barrel Back”, is a sensation where ever she goes. Rumored to have belonged to the Rockefeller family, it befits the name. It does still wear its 1951 Vermont inspection sticker. Later in life (around 1970), the car became the property of the Gould family (Massachusetts) who created an automobile museum in Meredith, New Hampshire and later moved their car museum efforts to Route 1 in Wells, Maine. This car was their flagship exhibit, from its first day through its closing in recent years. Even the original leather is still beautiful. The wood is extremely handsome. The chrome has a mellow patina but presents itself very well. This is the rare nine passenger version. The dash plastic is exceptional. This automobile drives superbly, having recently benefited from a major service by a top restoration shop. The car has very adequate power and has proven to be both reliable and extremely well mannered on the road. Being a 1941 vintage, this is something that can be safely driven at night as sealed beam headlights were standard equipment. This would be a perfect candidate for use at a retreat or for summer lake or mountain house. Is is easy to operate and it would be a huge hit for taking your guests to and from the local airport, around town, or maybe just out to dinner. This “barrel back woody” is the essence of understated elegance!

Presently, the car is museum stored in Lynchburg, Virginia. If not sold, in a couple of weeks,  I do plan on bringing her to my central New Hampshire home to enjoy for the summer and fall. This is a diamond in the grand scheme of collector automobiles.It is also a full CCCA (Classic Car Club of America) Classic. They rarely trade. Only a small few still exist and only a handful remain in well preserved and “never restored” order. Do your homework on the values, but I feel this example is extremely fairly priced. I may consider a partial trade and I am always receptive to cash offers.

There is a saying in the classic car community, “You can restore a vehicle a hundred times but it is only original once!”

This rare 1947 Chrysler Town and Country convertible is as near to original as you can get.  The original paint is very nice but has some flaws.  The chrome and stainless are very presentable for their age.  The interior is maroon leather and cord with the leather slightly tattered but is captured in clear plastic covers to preserves it’s originality.  The dash is immaculate with all lights, cigaret lighter and  gauges working.   The original engine has been completely rebuilt. The fluid drive transmission has been completely serviced and can be driven as a stick or an automatic. It still sports the original electric power top but the fabric needs repair.  This Chrysler is a dream to drive and cruises down the highway at freeway speeds.  The original wood is nearly flawless with original varnish showing that great patina that everyone looks for. The options include:  A working heater, spot light, wide white wall tires and clock.

Adidas brings concept store to Dubai Festival City Mall

Null Stern hotel Switzerland, no roof, no walls: Pay $335 a night to stay in the world's only zero-star hotel

While other luxury hotels strive for six or seven stars, there is one that prides itself on having none.

At Swiss hotel Null Stern, meaning 'no stars', the 'only star is you'.

Here, you'll find nothing but a bed nestled into a crevice on a Swiss mountain. A bedhead throws some light onto the situation at night. The closest toilet is a 10 minute walk away at a restaurant. If you're lucky, entertainment may pass in the form of a Swiss cow.

There's no roof, or no walls. There's no television and no running water, and no other guests to worry about.

Room service comes in the form of local farmers, dressed in bow ties, white gloves and work boots, who'll deliver a breakfast consisting of local produce in the mornings.

Twin concept artists Frank and Patrik Riklin are behind the concept of Null Stern, taking great pride in annoying the luxury hotel industry.

This is not the first time the hotel concept has been put into practice - in 2010 they opened a 14-bedder hotel in an an underground nuclear fallout shelter near the Swiss town of St Gallen. Almost 3000 guests passed through its doors, who paid 25 francs ($33) a night each for a bed. Curious visitors can see the former Null Stern, which has been converted into a museum.

Surprisingly, the 'Alpine Room' room opened to guests in July and is booked out through the European summer, despite its rather expensive price tag of $335 a night.

But that doesn't mean you've missed your chance to sleep under the stars, or so to speak.

The Riklins plan to add 25 more beds across different Swiss valleys in yet-to-be disclosed locations.

You can add your name to the waiting list via Safiental Tourism,

Twenty reasons to visit Rio de Janeiro

1 It's the Marvellous City

On New Year's Day, 1502, Portuguese explorers sailed into what they thought was the mouth of a mighty river flowing from a chain of lush hills. They called it Rio de Janeiro (River of January) - though it turned out to be the giant Guanabara Bay. These days Rio is known as the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvellous City). Despite problems with crime, traffic and poverty, it largely lives up to the hype thanks to its sublime natural setting and exuberant culture. Always exciting, Rio is buzzing more than ever as it gears up to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games.

2 Copacabana

Teeming with sunbathers, volleyballers and footballers, Copacabana is Brazil's, and possibly the world's, most famous beach. Sip a chopp (draught beer) or suco (fruit juice) from the alfresco bars lining its sand-hugging promenade and watch the vivid, scantily-dressed world go by. Across the road - the busy Avenida Atlantica - there's a row of high-rise hotels, including the whitewashed Copacabana Palace, a five-star pad that counts Mick Jagger, Elton John and Princess Diana among previous guests. Its poolside Pergula restaurant does a renowned Sunday brunch.

3 Ipanema and Leblon

Many cariocas (Rio residents) prefer the other beaches in the city's Zona Sul (South Zone). Come weekends, the white sands of Ipanema and Leblon are crammed with tanned bodies and roving figures selling refreshments and souvenirs seared with the blue, green and yellow of Brazil. In the backstreets, chic bars and clubs shoulder hotels and restaurants and boutiques stocked with gemstone jewellery, Havaianas and teeny-weeny bikinis. The Garota de Ipanema store is run by Helo Pinheiro, the real-life Girl from Ipanema ( It's next to the bar where the 1962 bossa nova classic was penned by Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes. On Fridays, food and flower stalls cover Ipanema's Praca da Paz, while Sundays see a bric-a-brac "hippie" fair on Praca General Osorio.

4 Christ the Redeemer

Arms outstretched, the art deco statue of Christ crowns the Corcovado (Hunchback) hill. One of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, it was built to commemorate the centenary of Brazil's independence celebrations in 1921. A cog train chugs up, though, like Sugarloaf, the views from the top are weather-dependent. If it's overcast, you'll be disappointed. On a clear day, however, you'll fill up your camera.

5 Sugarloaf

Sugarloaf marks the point where Guanabara Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. Pau-nh-Acqua (tall, isolated, pointy hill) to the indigenous Tupi tribes, this granite outcrop was Pao de Acucar (Sugarloaf) to the Portuguese because it resembled the shape of the moulds used to set sugar cane during Brazil's 16th- and 17th-century sugar boom. Launched in 1912, a cable car transports sightseers to the 396-metre peak; Queues swell in late afternoon as it's a wonderful spot for sunset. An alternative is Arpoador Rock, overlooking a popular surf area between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Sunsets are so good spectators often break into applause.

6 Costa Verde

South-west of Rio, the gorgeous Costa Verde (Green Coast) is the ideal place to wind down after the excesses of the Marvellous City. Jungle-clad hills slope down to pristine beaches and peaceful seaside towns like Paraty, a colonial gem with photogenic Portuguese architecture and uneven cobblestone streets (hint: leave the high heels at your hotel). Offshore, Ilha Grande is a car-free tropical paradise with forested hiking paths, secluded coves and cosy pousadas (guesthouses).

7 Tijuca National Park

The Corcovado juts from the eastern tip of the world's largest urban forest. Tijuca Forest national park is criss-crossed with walking trails; some scaling lookout points via waterfalls and limestone caves; others delving into undergrowth sheltering monkeys, toucans and parakeets. While Tijuca's tranquillity is a draw, you can join guided eco treks with Rio Hiking ( Scenic tandem hang-glider flights over Rio launch from Tijuca's Pedra Bonita (Pretty Rock). It's $US169 ($168) for 15-30 minutes.

8 Santa Teresa

A creative, arty vibe fuels Santa Teresa, a hill-top village of winding, cobbled streets and graceful old mansions - some decaying, others restored and home to bars, restaurants, galleries and antique shops. Sleepy on weekdays, it's livelier at weekends, when revellers buzz between the watering holes around Largo de Guimaraes. Getting to Santa Teresa used to be part of the fun. However, a fatal crash in 2011 derailed the old-fashioned tram (bondi). Take a bus, taxi or climb Escadaria Selaron staircase, a thigh-straining passage named after Chilean-born artist Jorge Selaron, who has coated the 250 steps in colourful tiles, ceramics and mirrors.

9 Centro

Centro is often ignored by tourists, but beneath shiny skyscrapers and concrete flyovers, you'll find vestiges of Rio's colonial past, quirky modern architecture and some fine cultural spaces. Laced with pretty azulejos (tiles), Santo Antonio is the city's oldest church, while historic Praca XV is edged by handsome buildings once graced by Portuguese royalty. Close to another busy square, Cinelandia, Rio's gaudy municipal theatre showcases ballet and classical music and the national library has sumptuous interior design. The fine arts, modern art and national history museums are all worth seeking out. Ditto the palatial Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil for its superb revolving art exhibitions. Bustling on weekdays, Centro is eerily quiet - and more dangerous - on Sundays.

10 Carnival

A sensual, hips-and-booty-shaking melange, flaunting Afro-Brazilian influences, samba is the symbol of Carnival, a hedonistic week-long festival celebrated across the country, but nowhere more vigorously than Rio. Kicking off on the Friday before Ash Wednesday, Carnival sparks mass street processions, with floats carrying dancers in feather boas, lavish costumes and flamboyant tiaras amid a swirl of drum beats and pulsating crowds. Choreographed all-night parades from Rio's leading samba schools grace the Sambadrome. The best seats sell for $US2500. Accommodation rates can triple during Carnival. Even hostel dorm beds cost about $100 a night - if you can find a vacancy.

11 The beautiful game

Competing with Catholicism as the religion of Brazil, football is beloved by Brazilians, rich and poor. If they're not playing it, they're watching it - either on TV or live. The Maracana, Rio's footballing cathedral, has been closed until recently for renovations, but the Olympic and Sao Januario stadiums host the often-fiery matches of club sides Flamengo, Botafogo, Vasco da Gama and Fluminense. Hotels arrange tickets - with hefty commissions - but you can usually pay at the gate.

12 Favelas

Brazil's booming economy has lifted millions out of poverty, but the country is still scarred by shanty towns (favelas). Most of Rio's nestle on hilltops. Despite a reputation for violence and social problems - depicted in the Oscar-nominated 2002 movie City of God - favela life isn't all bleak. Outsiders can get a glimpse on guided tours to Rocinha, Rio's largest favela. A British-Brazilian-run B&B, the Maze Inn is perched on Tavares Bastos favela, overlooking the middle-class Catete district. It holds jazz nights and offers spellbinding verandah views. Doubles from 150 real ($74).

13 Lapa

The steps tumble down to the Arches of Lapa, a Roman-style aqueduct spanning one of Rio's most atmospheric neighbourhoods. Nicknamed the Montmartre of the Tropics, bohemian Lapa is a chilled-out place for a drink midweek - especially along pleasant Rua do Lavradio. On Fridays, it's raucous. Lapa's legendary street party sees tens of thousands of people dancing provocatively, drinking punchy caipirinhas (a jumble of crushed limes, ice, sugar and cachaca) and dipping in and out of bars and clubs booming samba and forro (accordion-driven sounds from north-eastern Brazil). The eclectically decorated Rio Scenarium seduces foreigners and cariocas alike.

14 Vintage hangouts

Rio's social scene is fluid (check for new bar openings), but some establishments have been entertaining cariocas for decades. Founded in 1887 and 1921 respectively, Centro duo Bar Luiz ( and Amarelinho ( serve ice-cold beer and tasty petiscos (tapas-style snacks). Belmonte is a Botafogo institution, with spin-offs around Rio ( Copacabana's Bip ip (50 Rua Almirante Goncalves) has soulful live music and a colourful clientele, while Confeitaria Colombo ( is a vintage Centro coffeehouse with memorable desserts and caffeine hits in elegant 19th-century surrounds.

15 The food

Full of cosmopolitan dining, Rio also has heaps of churrascarias, barbecue restaurants grilling everything from hearty steaks to succulent shellfish. You usually pay by the kilo, though some places do all-you-can-eat buffets for 30-40 real. You'll find regional Brazilian fare, including the spicy African-flavoured food of Bahia, across Rio, plus feijoada. The national dish, this garlicky stew of meat, black beans and rice is traditionally eaten on Saturdays, though Ipanama's Casa da Feijoada serves it daily; 10 Rua Prudente de Morais.

16 Portuguese lessons

Despite Rio's popularity with overseas visitors, English isn't widely spoken outside the hotels, hostels and touristy quarters, so a little Portuguese helps. Similar to Spanish on paper, the pronunciation is very different. Rio de Janeiro, for example, is hay-o dee zhah-nay-roh. The currency - the real - is hay-al. Rio has dozens of language schools, with Portuguese lessons priced between 14 and 50 real an hour. Casa do Caminho ( and Bridge Brazil ( get good reviews - and arrange homestays.

17 Buzios

Buzios is one of the treats of Rio de Janeiro state. About 170 kilometres north-east of Sugarloaf, it was a humble fishing village until the 1960s, when it was "discovered" by Brigitte Bardot. Now it's Brazil's classiest seaside resort, luring cruise ships and wealthy cariocas, who have holiday homes here. Buzios is much quieter - and charming - during the week, when its lovely beaches are often deserted.

18 Niteroi

A fleet of tourist boats offer leisurely voyages around Guanabara Bay. You can also board the regular ferry from Praca XI to Niteroi, a satellite city that's home to an eye-catching contemporary art museum. Crafted like a flying saucer, the MAC was designed by Oscar Niemeyer, who created Brasilia, the purpose-built city that usurped Rio as Brazilian capital in 1960. It boasts Brazilian art, temporary exhibitions and terrific panoramic views of Rio.

19 Lagoa

A lagoon that filters into the Atlantic via an Ipanema canal, Lagoa is fringed by expensive real estate, gourmet eateries and exclusive new clubs like Miroir (, while its eight-kilometre waterfront pathway welcomes fitness freaks, dog-walkers and arm-in-arm couples. East of Lagoa, the quaint barrio of Humaita is home to Cobal do Humaita, a fresh food market and happening nightspot. To the west, affluent Gavea has upscale shopping malls and the Jockey Club (Rio's prime horse racing track). Close by, Jardim Botanico is strewn with exotic plants and neck-craning palm trees.

20 Flamengo Park

Part-designed by Roberto Burle Marx, the architect responsible for Copacabana's iconic wave-patterned pavements, this lovely park nudges the once-elite beachside suburbs of Flamengo and Botafogo. Running tracks - pounded by rollerbladers, skateboarders, joggers, cyclists and strollers - wind through lawns and palm trees, granting stupendous views of Guanabara Bay. Flashy yachts glide across the water, tattooed bodybuilders pump iron by the shore, families sip coconuts in the shade and two of Rio's unmissable sights loom above.

My man Andy Carter is having his first solo art show this weekend, and Friday is the opening night party. Everyone should come down to Fice and check it out. The address on that flier is actually wrong, but it's next to Este Pizza's downtown location at 160 East 200 South.

Andy's always been kind of a night owl, so while everyone else is sleeping, he's wandering the streets, taking pictures of the homeless people he meets, and asking them to tell him something about themselves. He's turned some of those photos into paintings and others into gel medium transfers, and they'll be hanging on the walls of the store for the rest of the month.

Eventually, these paintings and some of the photos he's taken will be collected into a book, with excerpts of the conversation he's had with each person. This is the first step, so come out and support.

Oh, Andy is also the guy behind Pangea Speed, which builds amazing motorcycles and custom bike parts. If you have a motorcycle, I'm sure you know all about him and his work. This is just a little extension of that.

I'll see you there.

Last year, when I started my new career as a desk jockey at boring corporate institutions, my first "challenge" was to write a blog post. Easy enough, I figured. The goal was for the three of us on the copywriting team to write and publish a piece about the Internet. Broad enough topic, right? One person wrote about keywords, one wrote about customer reach and I took a page from HIGH FIDELITY and wrote about turning your website into a kick-ass mixtape.

The goal was to see who got the most page views over the course of a month and the winner got $500 (well, $377 after taxes. God damn government). I used every trick I knew and called in every favor I could and eventually won. I posted a HIGH FIDELITY meme on Tumblr with a link to the piece embedded in the image and I still get "reblog" and "like" notifications about it to this day. It has almost 4,000 notes and is definitely the most popular thing I've ever posted. It's pretty stupid what works on that site.

It's been a year since the contest ended, so I figured I'd post my entry up here since I no longer work for that company, and that company doesn't really exist anymore anyway. If you helped me out by sharing it, I still appreciate it, and to show my thanks, I compiled all the songs that I listed into a cool playlist at the bottom. Using a Spotify embed flies against everything I wrote about in this piece, but it's just so much easier, right?

Your Website as Your Personal Mixtape

The Internet is a weird, wild place. There are so many different avenues and alleyways to explore that you’ll never see it all. But getting there is half the fun, right?

When you have your own website—whether it’s a site for a small business, your writing, or just your personal blog—it can be hard to get noticed and it won’t just happen overnight. Building up a website requires building up a web presence. You need to be active all over the place and have your hands in a few different social pies for your website to grow. But beyond that, first and foremost, your site content has to be better than the rest.

In order for someone to choose your site out the endless abyss that is the Internet, you need to have a voice of your own. The content has to be interesting and informative, sure, but you need to stick out from the pack. You need to be a unique voice that rises to the surface.

The best way to do that is to approach your blog or website the same way you’d put together a mixtape.

You remember those, right?

Back before Spotify and YouTube playlists were shared and available at the click of a mouse, you had to physically hand someone a cassette tape. A tape that you put together through hard work of pouring through every song in your collection and figuring out how to delicately express your own feelings through someone else’s poetry. It meant sitting in front of your stereo, listening to the radio, waiting for that one perfect song to come back on. You’d have a blank tape in the deck, cued up and ready to start as soon as you heard the opening notes. Then you’d spend the rest of the night timing the start of each song just right so as not to lose valuable space and making the most of those 30 minutes on each side.

It took a lot more effort than a simple drag and drop.

That’s kind of what building a website is like, too.

Getting that perfect website takes a lot of careful planning and lot of work goes into it. It’s a lot like crafting a mixtape, only you’re not giving it to one special person. Instead, you’re trying to separate yourself from, literally, millions of others. You’re trying to make your website that special thing that people want more of.

In order to do this, it’s always helpful to think back to one of the best movies (and books before it) ever made about music—HIGH FIDELITY.

In the movie, the venerable hero, Rob, played by John Cusack, spends a lot of time making mixtapes for the girls that he likes. He waxes intellectual about song choices and Top 5 lists and eventually reveals the ever-important rules.

“The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem.”

The concept is pretty simple, but you do have to put some thought into it. If you apply these same rules to your website, you’ll have a pretty great place that people are going to want to visit. You’ve got to get them there, make them stick around, and then ask them to spend a little bit of their day with you.

“You gotta kick off with a killer. Grab their attention.”

This same formula has to be applied to websites and blogs. You get one chance to hook them before they hit that ‘back’ button and go looking for something else. It doesn’t necessarily have to be controversial or anything like that, but you need to have something at the top of the page that gets people to stop. They clicked the link and your site loaded; now you have to get them to stay there. That means you need to have an interesting headline or a unique idea that will pique someone’s curiosity and encourage them to read on. Your personality should be on full display from the first line of that site.

Suggested tracks: “All My Life” by Foo Fighters, “Bed For The Scraping” by Fugazi, “The Great Pan is Dead” by Cold Cave.

“Then you gotta take it up a notch…”

Your biggest goal when building a website is to make it a place that people want to visit. You want them to remember it, bookmark it and keep coming back to it. The best way to do that is to have not only consistent content, but consistently good content. Once they’ve lingered on the page for a minute, reading that first headline, they need to be given a reason to stay a bit longer. That’s why headlines and first paragraphs are so important—those are the first things that people will see and read. You need to keep them engaged.

 It’s a little bit like when you get sucked into a STORAGE WARS marathon on TV. They run the credits over the final scene and dive right in to the next episode without a single break. It gets you every single time (or me, anyway). That’s what your website (and mixtape) need to master—get them in, but more importantly, keep them there.

Suggested tracks: “Trusty Chords” by Hot Water Music, “Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen, “Gimmie Shelter” by The Rolling Stones.

 “…then you’ve gotta cool it off a notch.”

This is about the time that people are going to get comfortable with your site and start looking around a little more in depth. It’s at about this spot that you can put in an old favorite or in the case of a blog, a recurring topic or a recurring feature. Maybe you have a certain topic that you spotlight once a week or so. This is about where it should go. You can’t try to constantly one-up yourself, because that’s when you start to overwhelm people. You need to let them settle in and get into a rhythm.

Suggested tracks: “Karma Police” by Radiohead, “Disintegration” by The Cure, “Avoiding Catatonic Surrender” by Tim Barry.

You can’t get complacent though. Just because someone chose your website over the vast millions of others out there, it doesn’t mean they’re going to keep coming back just out of habit. This is where it gets tricky. You want to be able to attract new readers and new visitors as much as possible, but you don’t want to alienate the ones you’ve already got. This is the point on your blog/site/mixtape where you need to have confidence that your words and ideas are enough to keep people interested. You can write with confidence, and still take a few risks here and there. You’ve kept them around and coming back, they must agree with your taste so. At this point, you can afford to play around a little bit.

Suggested tracks: “Young Americans” by David Bowie, “Funny Little Frog” by Belle & Sebastian, “Rill Rill” by Sleigh Bells.

“There are a lot of rules.”

Since blogs and websites tend to be endless, there’s no need to build to that final closing track that brings the house down. But once you get into a rhythm of regular posting, recurring features and returning visitors, it will feel just like that, a rhythm. You’ll feel the ebb and flow of what people like, what they’re commenting on, what kind of interaction you’re getting and all that good stuff that keeps a site thriving. Once you’re there, it’ll start to feel a lot like your perfect mixtape will never have to end. As long as you keep posting, keeping things interesting and inviting a dialogue—whether through comments or emails—you’ll never need to end. But in the spirit of the topic, you need a closer. You need something that’s going to stick with them. It’s got to be a song that hits them right in the chest, makes them remember why they were so happy to get the tape from you in the first place.

Suggested tracks: “Love Spreads” by The Stone Roses, “Sweet Avenue” by Jets to Brazil, “Girls Like You” by The Naked and Famous, or the classic “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds.

There you have it. That’s how you build your online profile and get people to decide that you and your site are worthy enough to be added to their bookmarks bar.

I’ve also given you a pretty great playlist to get you through your day. I can’t decorate it with a ballpoint pen, but this is close enough.

You’re welcome.

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

We'll just start at the top and get the truth out in the open: I still kind of love professional wrestling. I still make WWE jokes all the time, I still have a Stone Cold Steve Austin bandanna and I still follow it a little bit. Not to the extent that I used to, but enough to know the broad strokes of what's happening and who's who.

I just never actually watch it.

When I was a kid, I watched it all the time. Only, by "all the time" I mean "once a week on Saturday night or early Sunday morning." Back then, it was the WWF and there was a weekly show that aired sometime on Saturday or Sunday. It basically gave everyone the gist of what was going on, who was feuding with who, who held the title and when they were putting it on the line next. My favorite wrestler was, of course, Hulk Hogan. I loved everything about him.

At one point, when I was about 7 or 8, I had a tank top that I wore around the house (and only around the house, because my dad thought they were trashy and wouldn't let me wear it out in public). It got a little tear in it one day, and I wanted to rip it off the way Hogan did before a match so badly. But I had to ask permission first. I couldn't just run around ruining clothes—even ones my dad hated.

My mom finally said that it was okay for me to destroy it, but I couldn't. I physically couldn't do it. My arms were too weak and I could't tear the ribbing that ran across the front. The Hulkster and his 24" pythons were much stronger than I thought. After a few minutes of trying, my mom made a little cut in the front so it would rip easier and assured me that's probably what Hulk had to do, too.

A few years later, one of the story lines had Hulk Hogan feuding with Earthquake and they were coming to the Salt Palace for a stretcher match. My brother and I wanted to go more than anything, but neither of my parents had any interest in going, and they were also a little bit weary of sending a 10-year-old and a 7-year-old to the Salt Palace. A few weeks before the WWF event, AC/DC had played there and three people died when the crowd rushed the stage and they were trampled underneath. Eventually, we found another way to go and my cousin Robbie stepped up to take us. We just had to promise to stay in our seats the whole time.

It took a little bit of digging, but I was able to find out the whole card for that night:

WWF @ Salt Palace, Salt Lake City, UT - February 7, 1991

Sam Houston vs. The Barbarian
The Legion of Doom vs. Mr. Fuji and the Orient Express (handicap match)
Tito Santana vs. Haku
WWF Tag Team Champions Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart vs. Hercules & Paul Roma
Kerry Von Erich vs. Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. Rick "The Model" Martel
Hulk Hogan vs. Earthquake

I have no idea who won any of those matches, but I have to assume that Hulk won because I vaguely remember him strutting around as Earthquake was wheeled off on a (presumably reinforced) stretcher. That's about the last time I can remember caring about professional wrestling until about 1999. The WWF rolled out Thursday Night Smackdown on UPN then had a recap show that covered both RAW and Smackdown that started about midnight on Saturdays. The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon as the bad guy had me intrigued, so I started paying attention again.

The matches themselves were never the part that interested me. It was always the story lines and the performances that drew me in, and those guys were much better than the guys I saw in the 90's.

When The Rock and Stone Cold moved on I pretty much tuned out. I was only kind of paying attention when McMahon bought the rival WCW and merged them, but was so lost that it didn't matter. When CM Punk started showing up, I hated him for using Straight Edge as his gimmick, but then I actually learned a bit about him, began to like and respect the guy, and started paying attention again. At that point though, I could just get all the best stuff in YouTube clips and Bleacher Report recaps a few days afterwards. Again, it was never about the matches, but always about the stuff that happened elsewhere.

A few months back, I updated my Apple TV and there was a little icon with the WWE logo on it. I'd heard that the company was developing their own network, but I thought it was going to take the place of some other fledgling channel buried deep inside an upper-tier basic cable package that I had no intention of upgrading to. Then I found out that it was going to be a Netflix/HBOGo type thing with a monthly fee. I did some digging and found out that for $10 a month, you get everything that the WWE has ever produced and you get access to all 12 of their Pay-Per-View matches every year. It was insane how much content they were putting on there.

I was amazed, excited and badly wanted to shell out the ten bucks every four weeks that it would cost me to have access to the WWE library from the past 30 years. But I also wanted to have a shot at dating an actual woman again sometime soon, so I decided against it. Then I found out that they were offering a one-week free trial just to test the waters and to get people interested, so I did that instead. (editor's note: It's actually like a 6 day free trial, because I signed up on a Friday afternoon and had to cancel by the following Thursday or I'd be locked in for six months.)

When I got home from work that night, I turned on the TV and launched the app. Then I was fucking lost. Being a brand new product, things were still a little wonky. The search function is atrocious and while there are some individual matches from the mid-week programs, there's nothing from the Pay-Per-Views. To get any of those matches, you have to know which event it happened at, where it was on the card and then fast-forward (no chapter markings! It was like a goddamn video tape with much better quality) to the appropriate time.
Having no idea where to start, I used Google to search for notable matches in WWE history, then had to figure out how to locate them within the app. It took kind of a long time. I watched Mankind and The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match, the WCW Bash at the Beach match where Hulk Hogan turned heel and the NWO was formed, the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match that the Internet loves, the Montreal Screwjob and the match where CM Punk won the title and walked out just before his WWE contract expired.

All great stuff, but again, I don't care about any of it. I want the off screen stuff. I want the behind-the-scenes action. I want to pay attention to the man behind the curtain. I want to see how the sausage gets made.

After McMahon screwed Bret Hart out of the title, he hid backstage. The Undertaker was so mad that he went to McMahon's dressing room and demanded that he apologize to Hart. I want to see that. I want to see what Shawn Michaels had to say when Hart confronted him.

There was the segment of RAW when CM Punk aired all of his dirty laundry with Vince and was cut off, but I couldn't find that in any of CM Punk's listings. I was able to find it very easily on YouTube though. And that's free.

The Buried Alive match between The Undertaker and Mankind had some great moments, but I wanted to know more about the logistics of it than anything else. I wanted to know all the little details about how intricately they planned those types of matches.

Maybe things will get better as time goes on, but as of the few hours I spent with it, the matches had no context. The reality is that it would be fairly difficult to include three decades of overlapping story lines, but that's what I want, damn it.

All of those things aside, I got my free trial's worth. I spent a few hours watching things the first night and maybe a half an hour at a time here and there the rest of the week. Mostly, I just wandered through the singles matches remembering wrestlers that I hadn't thought about in years. I started wondering what happened to the also-rans that never quite made it to Icon status the way Hogan and The Rock did. You know, wrestlers like:

William Regal - Currently broadcasting or something like that for the WWE's minor league/developmental program.
Kurt Angle - Climbed all the way to the top of the WWE payroll but quit in 2006 because he was being forced to work while injured. He's been wrestling for TNA (the only real competition to WWE) ever since.
The Hardy Boyz - Jeff and Matt split up and have been making the rounds in TNA and the smaller circuit shows like OMEGA.
Eric Bischoff - Worked for TNA for a while before being let go sometime in 2013.
Lita - She was the "manager" for the Hardyz, held the women's championship for a while, but retired in 2006. Afterwards, she formed a punk band called "The Luchagors" and has been kind of floating around ever since.
Trish Stratus - Also held the women's championship belt for a bit before retiring in 2006. She's been working as a trainer and opened a yoga studio in Toronto.
Kevin Nash - He was "Super Shredder" in TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2, and Tarzan in MAGIC MIKE. He's still employed by WWE.
Test - Overdosed on oxycodone in 2009, and his autopsy showed that he had advanced Alzheimer's usually found in professional boxers.

The list goes on and on. Staying at the top for a long time is hard to do and the only ones that have come out of it pretty much in tact are The Rock, HHH, Hulk Hogan (to an extent), Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels. It's strange that out of everyone I grew up watching in the 80's, Hogan is the only one still in the spotlight. Granted, it's mostly been for his shitty reality TV show, his messy public divorce, and his sex tape, but he's still managed to right the ship when things start to go south. Everyone else is either dead or still scraping by and performing at shows in YMCA auditoriums, battling addiction problems and living in their car. It's really kind of sad.

I look back on that card from the Salt Palace show I saw in 1991 and it's depressing to see where everyone is now.

Sam Houston - Wrestled sporadically for a few years but never found his footing. In 2005, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for repeated DUI offenses. He only served a fraction of the time and was last known to be wrestling in the independent circuit in Louisiana.
The Barbarian - Only under contract in the WWE for three years, then bounced around for a while. Since 2001, he's been wrestling part time in the independent circuit and running a construction company in North Carolina.
Legion of Doom - They were one of the greatest Tag Teams in wrestling and lasted quite a while. Hawk died in 2003, and Animal still appears on the live shows every once in a while.
Mr. Fuji and the Orient Express - Mr. Fuji retired in 1996, which was two years after The Orient Express split up and disappeared.
Tito Santana - He was one of the mainstays of the old WWF guard, wrestling from 1979 to 1993. He's been doing independent shows ever since, even though he's 63 years old.
Haku - Still doing independent shows.
Bret Hart - Hart left the WWE after the Montreal Screwjob, but eventually came back. He's currently signed to the WWE Legends program (which is essentially a way to keep beloved wrestlers of the past on a payroll of some sort. McMahon probably got sick of all the negative press coming his way when one of the stars of yesteryear spiraled out of control in some way) and appears every once in a while.
Jim Neidhart - After he left the WWE, he's mostly been working for TNA. There's not much on him since 2009. He's not dead though.
Hercules - Died of heart disease in his sleep in 2004.
Paul Roma - Tried his hand at boxing after his wrestling career stalled out, but that didn't last long. He now runs a wrestling training school in Connecticut.
Kerry Von Erich - He was involved in a motorcycle accident in 1986 that badly damaged his right foot. Doctors tried to repair it, but Von Erich put too much pressure on it too soon after the operation and made it worse, which resulted in its amputation. Somehow, Von Erich was able to keep the fact that he had a prosthetic foot—going as far as to shower with his boots on—a secret and kept wrestling. He became addicted to pain killers, his marriage fell apart and he eventually killed himself following in the footsteps of two of his brothers.
Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase - Still alive, signed to the WWE Legends program and occasionally appears on shows. He has two sons that have been signed to WWE at some point. One is now doing the independent circuit and the other retired due to knee problems.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts - Was featured in the ultra-depressing documentary BEYOND THE MAT, gained too much weight and moved in with Diamond Dallas Page, whom Roberts trained and mentored during the early years of Page's career. Page got Roberts in much better shape through Yoga and helped him with his recovery from addiction. Roberts was diagnosed with muscular cancer below his knees, but has been fighting it. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
Rick "The Model" Martel - Still alive, but not really doing anything that revolves around wrestling.
Earthquake - Started out as a sumo wrestler, switched to the WWE and had a pretty great career. He died of bladder cancer in 2006.
The WWE app wasn't enough for me to go back to, and I've still never watched a live Pay-Per-View event. I probably never will. But I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for the squared circle, the Hell in a Cell, the Tables, Ladders and Chairs matches and everything else that goes on in the Vince McMahon empire.

I just don't want to actually watch any of it.

Monday, May 12, 2014

A few weeks late, but I've heard a bunch of people say things like "better late than never" over the years, so here we are. That's not always true, by the way, because sometimes it just gets way more awkward if you try to pick up a thread after it's been on the ground for too long. Believe me, I know.

But whatever. This is my blog and I'll pick up threads for things that happened weeks ago without even skipping a beat. That's how we roll here.

And since that's the case, I'm going to give you the rundown of Salt Lake Comic Con: Fan Experience from a few weeks ago.

Last September, Salt Lake held its first Comic Con and it was a huge success. So much so, that they decided to do it twice this year. They called the first event something different, of course, but it was basically the same thing. Things got a little bit crowded at the Salt Palace Convention Center last time around, but that's mostly because no one knew what to expect so they only used half the available space. This time, they opened the entire thing and it was enormous.

The final numbers haven't been announced yet, but the rumor is that Fan X (what they're calling the April event) was the third largest comic convention in the country—right behind New York Comic Con and San Diego Comic Con. That's pretty damn impressive.

Like last fall, Casey, Spidey and I took a gamble on a booth to sell some of our unwanted comics and it worked out really well. We sold a whole bunch of stuff and immediately started making plans for the next event. This time around, we had things pretty well organized (well, Spidey and I did, anyway. Casey waited until the Saturday before the convention to even start, which meant we were helping him bag, board and sort his comics the whole weekend.) and ready to go. We rented a truck Wednesday afternoon and got everything loaded into the convention center that evening. It was a full three days this time (instead of two and a half), so we had to be there pretty early the next day to get everything set up and ready to go.

From the minute the doors opened we were busy. There were a bunch of people that had bought stuff from us last year that came back for more and were really excited to see us. That made us feel pretty good and the whole weekend went really well from start to finish.

It was really exhausting, but a lot of fun and I'm excited to get back to it this fall. I solidified our spot for Salt Lake Comic Con proper a couple of days ago, and now we just need to get an earlier start on getting things together. Luckily, Spidey let us store everything at his house so it's all in one spot and we can organize things a little easier.

We're also splitting a bigger space with Casey's toy store, The Tutoring Toy, so that we'll actually have enough room for all of our books. Now we've just got to start planning out how to make the most of the space we're getting.

If you're planning on attending Salt Lake Comic Con in September, buy your passes ASAP and come visit Grudge City Comics/Old News Records/The Tutoring Toy in booth 1701.

I promise to give better updates as we get closer to it. Probably. Well, maybe.

Oh, and that tank top in the photo below? Yeah, that's available if you want to buy it. Just head over to my store and grab it.

Friday, May 2, 2014

Last year I turned Old News Records into a publishing company and released our first novel. It's written by the very talented Mike Farfel, and we just got it back in stock.

I wrote a bit about it over here, and Jay Meehan of the Park Record wrote about it in his column last fall.

It's a really great debut novel and I urge all of you to check it out. It's for sale in my shop right now, so get a copy while you have the chance. I'm looking into getting it in a few local bookstores, so if you'd rather wait for that to happen, I'm all for it. But, I'm just saying, it's right there, ready for you to read.

"Bogged down by the existential angst of the American Dream, Tulip has long since given up on any search for meaning—until a voice he's never heard sneaks into his head.

The small miracles of life, paired with the new voice, sets him on a path of moral awakenings and trials by the Devil's hand. Through it all, Tulip seeks love, fights back hoards of entitled masses and finds a new hope and respect for humanity.

At the same time, Tulip must decide if the voice in his head is real or if reality is just falling apart."

Thursday, May 1, 2014

Well that escalated quickly.

Back in January (which is like 6 posts ago, I know, and I'm sorry. I've been busy) I wrote about the Satanic Temple and their plans to erect a giant Baphomet statue in front of the Oklahoma state capitol. The reasoning is that since Oklahoma is kind of violating that whole "separation of church and state" thing by having a 10 Commandments monument, the other side of the coin should be represented as well.

The Satanic Temple launched an Indie GoGo fund to raise money, and hit their goal fairly easily. I pretty much assumed that would be the last we heard of it, but that's thankfully not the case and they've been hard at work actually making the damn thing.

It turns out that Oklahoma state representative Mike Ritze paid for the 10 Commandments statue with his own money and donated it to the state house. Since it was a gift, it was deemed okay to place it on state grounds. Following that explanation, the Satanic Temple has submitted the proper forms and applications and is waiting to hear back. All the while, they've hired a New York-based artist trained in classic sculptures to start making a bust that they'll be able to cast in bronze and place as soon as they get the word.

As noted before, The Church of Satan (probably pissed that they didn't think of it first) had a few issues with the proposed statue, and it looks like some of those issues have been addressed. Vice followed up on the project and got a nice little behind the scenes look at the progress of the 7-foot statue and some great comments from Lucien Greaves—who used to be listed as the leader of the group, but is now just listed as a spokesman. I could probably find out one way or the other, but I've got other things to get back to.

Most notably, Greaves spoke about what might happen to the statue once it's placed. There are bound to be a lot of unhappy people in Oklahoma if the statue is put up and vandalism is highly likely. Greaves said he "wouldn’t expect these outraged and nearly insensible reactionaries to actually know how to assault a bronze monument without severely hurting themselves in the process."

Still, they're not taking any chances and instead building a mold so that if one is damaged, they can just pop out another. "Depending on our insurance policy, we may be able to cast two from the destruction of one, expediting our arrival to the next battleground."

Oklahoma's been staging some great battles in newspaper headlines and inside execution chambers this week, so I'm sure shedding blood on the steps of their statehouse over a statue wouldn't be outside their wheelhouse.

So yeah, the Satanic Temple isn't fucking around here. You should head over to Vice to read their whole piece. I lifted a couple of quotes and these photos from them, so the least you can do is actually go check out their article. And you'll probably get lost in their archives like I do every time. It's fun though. They've got good stuff.

How To Pronounce My Name:

Frequently, people ask me how to pronounce my name. Quite a lot of speculation has been circulating around this topic, including musings about the relative "gutturalness" of the Scottish "ch" (as in "Loch") versus the Bavarian "ch" (as in "Kochtopf" ;-) To settle the argument once and for all, I decided to put up a wave file with myself speaking my name. I figured that this would be the definitive answer to how to pronounce my name, seeing (or, more accurately, hearing) that this is how I pronounce it myself. Winking Smiley

Ways to Get Faster in Triathlon Running

Obtaining much faster in triathlon running takes method, skill, and decision. As opposed to running a marathon or other run particular race, the triathlon run comes after a swim and bike leg. Whether you are running a sprint, Olympic, fifty percent, or complete ironman range triathlon, the run section of the triathlon race is where everything comes together to be competitive or otherwise.

These 8 tips will certainly assist you narrow the space on your goal time of completing your triathlon. While these ideas could additionally translate to a run specific race, they are especially tailored for triathlon racing.

Triathlon Novice

Losing simply 5 extra pounds of weight can improve your mile speed time by 10-30 secs depending on the distance of the race. Think of just how much that 5 pounds will certainly be carried by your feet and legs over whatever range run training course you are racing on. To obtain a great idea of just what simply five pounds off of your framework seems like, take a 5 pound weight and carry it around for 3-5 miles as you run.

In each of these races, I began the run feeling all right, yet by the time I struck mile 3 or 4 I was squandered and bonking.

The Newtown and Chilwell Cricket Club appeal to raise funds for a much-needed new roller has reached $19,820.98.

“That leaves us needing another $7,629.02 to cover the costs of the roller, so we still have to have more people get on the board,” said club president Frank Tuskes.

“Additionally we want the Australian Sports Foundation appeal fund we have set up to be used to raise money for a new bowling machine.

“Both the existing roller and the bowling machine need updating.

“The roller has been in use since 1984 and repaired many times and it is a credit to our curators that we have produced the best wicket in the GCA with such an antiquated piece of equipment.

“The new ride-on roller brings us into the 21st Century and ensures that not only the centre wicket remains in excellent condition but that our practice turf wickets are also of the highest standard.

“This year we really do want to practise as we play and a 21st Century bowling machine is part of that.

“The bowling machine will be a tremendous boon for our juniors as well as our seniors, so I am really encouraging the parents of our players to contribute to the appeal.

“We know how many promising young players we are bringing through the club at the moment, we want to provide them with every opportunity to develop their talents to the fullest.

“That means the best coaching, and the best practice facilities.”

The President thanked those who had donated already.

“There have been a number of moments of great generosity,” he said.

“Those people are true blue Two-Blues.

“We just need a few more people to get on board so that we ensure that our infrastructure allows us to achieve the things we want to achieve not just as a cricket club, but as a contributor to our local community.”

Hadleigh & Taryn- 2012/2015 and some quotes/phrases they like to say

Taryn 2012

Hadleigh 2015 (With Taryn in the background)

"Are you ever seen a flying squirrel before Mom?"

"Do I sound like Darf Bador?" (making a funny breathing sound)

"Wow Mom! That's enormous!"

Taryn asked Tyson one night at bed time, "Dad, do you sometimes watch movies after I go to sleep?" Tyson said, "Ya, sometimes we do. " Taryn then said, "So you don't go to sleep?!!" Tyson- "Ya, just a bit later though. " It reminded me of that one Full House episode where Michelle is convinced that everyone stays up and parties. The one time she actually stays up, there is a bunny, a clown, candy etc…that come by! Hilarious!

"I did it!"
"Tee Tee, wawh ahwer ooh?" (she calls Taryn, "Tee Tee")
"Atch is" -Watch this
"un moor" one more
"peease!!!!" (While doing a little pouty face and signing "please")
"Hold you?!" (Means- pick me up, Mom!)
"wha see, wha see!" (I want to see!"
"Bahh tee" Blanket
