Content warning: This blogpost has content that may be triggering.
Update: I have been doxxed and swatted this past week. Doxxing is releasing personal identifying information with malicious intent. Swatting is is criminal harrassment intimidation tactic of sending police to someone's home. I've committed no crimes and the constable even apologised that he had to make the call.
I've been sitting on a cesspool of screenshots from mob cyberbullying I experienced by neurodiversity ideology extremists. in August and September 2021. It was the worst some said they had ever seen. Turned out I had way over 2,000 abusive screenshots from this time, which I have narrowed down to approximately 100. It was triggering to go through them.
I decided, as I turn my back on advocacy (including mental health, autism spectrum, disability), that I will upload some of the screenshots here. I don't want to include this triggering content into the memoir I am working on. I risk fallout sharing this. Any drama that might happen as a result, I am not engaging with, going forward.
I wasn't going to post further on this blog, as I am moving to my other blog on Soar Purpose and I am leaving years of (mostly mental health and disability) advocacy behind, to move forward.
Something huge has been announced, all over the news in New Zealand and Australia past few days. Policy has been changed at government level with negotiation between the two neighbouring countries. Kicked off by the vision and actions of a vulnerable person 10 years ago. Which snowballed to bring about change to help thousands of others. I want to explain in this post the beginnings of how this happened, which has been swept under the carpet.
I learned this evening that there is a direct pathway for New Zealand citizens and permanent residents to become Australian citizens, with less restrictive eligibility requirements. For a reasonable fee, starting July 2023. The fee at time of writing this blog was less that Australian $500 with no complicated and very expensive (thousands of dollars) permanent resident stage first (that many had not pathway to start). There are still elibility criteria but they are much more relaxed than previously.
How to Spot a Fake Autistic
This post is a collaboration with an advocate in the UK who goes by Shell Spectrum. Shell has a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome (same as my son's childhood diagnosis) and has been advocating online about autism as an autistic woman for over 20 years. She started a list with this title and I have modified it slightly and extended it with her permission. Shell and I are the 'bad autistics' neurodiversity 'autistics' warned you about. Although I would rather see myself as a 'number 1 badass' (after all 'BAD1' was written in my medical records for 'bipolar affective disorder type 1).
I am on the autism spectrum myself, with a diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) but I choose to no longer call myself autistic, nor an autist. (Although neurodiversity advocates insist on calling me both). I had more prominent autism spectrum features in childhood (as did my son) than as an adult.
Shell and I am both critical of the neurodiversity movement, an identity politics ideology, that has ripped off medical conditions and watered them down into common traits. Then evangelised, recruited and indoctrinated people who have no clinically significant impairments since childhood. Many have profitted from this racket. Anyone who criticises this cult will be abused by extremists.
In just over an hour, it will be 2022 in New Zealand. I have been jotting down some notes and preparing some photos over the past 4 hours with the aim to write a final blog post for the year (all improvised really).
I will upload a few pics I took today and write some text around them. It is very challenging for me to organise words into sentences, paragraphs etc. I have impairments with bipolar 1 disorder and post-traumatic disorder (PTSD), which affect my cognition and communication.
Below is a painting I did a few years ago, processing in an elevated/mixed mood episode with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Hot Air: Rise Above It. I wrote a story to go with it, intended as children's stories but it is also for adults. I might develop it further if I want something to do (already have lots of creative projects). I have published exactly how I wrote it in a single session including notes and mistakes below (with no alterations). This is the first draft that hasn't been composted yet. The story came to me after doing the painting.
Several times in my life, I have been told that I am 'too honest'. Lying makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Over the past few years, I have been working on an semi-autobiographical fiction book called Pet Purpose. I see it as semi-autobiographical because it is telling my story in disguise.
Originally, when I chose the title around five years ago, I intended to write memoir about my bond with pets. But more of life happened and the story has evolved into a story of courage as a young girl suffers trauma and loss, is later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and with her determination to survive, finally starts a healing journey many years later in adulthood.
The story loosely reflects my own journey, but I have changed the story-line to protect myself and others, even those who have hurt me. Changing names wasn't enough. I made the decision to write fiction, to 'lie to tell the truth', to help ease flashbacks of PTSD. So that I didn't have to remember it 'exactly' and keep re-traumatising myself. So that I minimise upsetting people. So people can't say 'that's not really what happened' (because they won't know what really happened) and minimise my message. So that I could have some distance while I still tell a personal story. So that I could express my truth in a creative way.
Surviving bipolar and PTSD
I had a big bipolar mania episode two years ago. I'm still recovering. I told my psychiatrist that the medications were like putting a bucket under the Huka Falls. The Huka Falls is a powerful waterfall in Taupo, New Zealand that could fill an Olympic sized swimming pool in sections. You can hear the roar before you see it. The intensity and energy of emotions being released that had been shut down with PTSD was so powerful that it was a huge challenge to try to harness.
life not to Plan? Improvise
I'm not a detailed planner. Life doesn't work out to plan for me anyway. I prefer to improvise.
When I create art, I might have some vague ideas in my head and even do a quick miniature sketch but it always turns out differently to how I originally started. I like the freedom to improvise. To make things up as I go along. Creative expression helps me re-frame my life experiences.
Courage to Paint as an adult
"I think adults who paint are brave. They need support to shine." Sue Graham, artist.
Art was one of my favourite activities as a child. I have memories from kindergarten slapping on thick layers of brightly coloured paint at a stand up easel. I won a poster competition when I was around 10 years old. It was judged by a well-known landscape artist whom I met. She told me my poster stood out because of the colours and composition.
When I was a teenager, my art teacher at school said, 'you always paint differently according to what mood you're in.' I felt criticised but thought, 'isn't that the point?' The same teacher said, 'you're going to have a nervous breakdown one day.' She said it was because I was busy doing so many activities with no down time to rest.
It's usually hard for me to get up in the mornings. But today I had something to do. Yesterday I decided to purchase a domain name and I started setting up this website. Today I wanted to continue to get it up and running.
Having some sense of meaningful purpose helps keep me going even though things are very challenging for me (unable yet to work full-time and live independently after two decades of being away from home). I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder, PTSD and social anxiety in my forties. Previously I was diagnosed with 'treatment resistant' depression and anxiety in my early twenties.
I am no longer blogging or vlogging as a mental health and disability advocate. The politics of it is too toxic for me.

Ho Lung believes Al Miller's $1m fine too harsh
Father Ho Lung believes the sentence handed down to the Reverend Al Miller was too harsh.
The founder of the Missionaries of the Poor was speaking to the STAR in a recent interview where he commented on the issue, stating that based on personal conversations he had with the convicted clergyman, he believes Miller had no intentions of breaking the law.
"I was with Al last Sunday at his church, Fellowship Tabernacle, and I talked with him openly and said would you tell me what is happening, and he said in no way did he have any intention to circumvent the law," he said on Thursday. "It was read that way. He also said to me, 'I was not speeding and I spoke to the commissioner of police. I reported also to the US Embassy, and I had one intention and that was to bring in Dudus alive because he did not want to be killed' and I believe him."
Father Ho Lung explained that Al Miller had every intention of taking Dudus into custody, but was concerned about the drug lord's safety. "He told me that Dudus wanted to turn himself in, but didn't want to be killed turning himself in so he was just assisting him. I don't think he had any other intentions other than to bring the man in to give himself up."
On that account, Ho Lung believes the penalty handed down to Reverend Al Miller was too much. "I think a word of caution could have been given to Al to say that 'you had him in the car with you and you needed to make sure that the communications line is right, but I think that he really wanted the man brought to justice without dying because no one wants to die even if you've done wrong."
Ho Lung does not believe that if the court had decided on a warning that it would have sent the wrong message to other citizens who end up in similar situations. "I wouldn't't take it simply as a slap on the wrist if they gave him a warning because I'm going off what Al said and he told me that he did call the commissioner of police and he did call the US Embassy, and told them what he was doing and they all consented and said they understood."
He believes the matter has been blown out of proportion in the media. "I think it has been moved out of the context of what it really was and that was really not necessary because I think Al's intention was to really say look 'Dudus you can't keep doing this, it's evil and against the law'."
On July 22, Parish Judge Simone Wolfe-Reece, presiding in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court, found Reverend Al Miller guilty of attempting to pervert the course of justice, arising from the 2010 capture of then fugitive Christopher 'Dudus' Coke. Miller was last Thursday fined $1 million or 12 months' imprisonment on his corruption conviction. He has until tomorrow to pay the fine. The verdict came six years after Coke was captured in a sport utility vehicle that was being driven by Miller along the Mandela Highway in St Catherine in 2010, ending an islandwide manhunt for the drug kingpin.

“This old world is rough, it’s just getting rougher. Cover me, come on baby, cover me …” These true words were sung in 1984: lyrics from the heart of the scorching “Cover Me,” one of the 12 iconic tracks on the masterpiece album Born in the USA, which is turning 30 on June 4. Often touted as one of the Boss’s most commercial and critically successful albums, producing seven top 10 chart hits, it is truly Springsteen at the top of his form in both lyrics and melodies. I relive my “Glory Days” and reflect on “My Hometown” every time I put this album on. Take yourself back and let yourself feel “I’m on Fire” and “Dancing in the Dark” again… they never disappoint.[rating:5] – Dave Probizanski

ABCNews.com(WASHINGTON) — A day after suggesting that he would pull federal aid from hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico, President Donald Trump tried to provide assurance on Friday that he will “always be with” the Puerto Rican people.
Trump also suggested that Puerto Ricans “know how bad things were before” Hurricane Maria hit the island in September.
The wonderful people of Puerto Rico, with their unmatched spirit, know how bad things were before the H’s. I will always be with them!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 13, 2017
Trump, who has tangled with the mayor of San Juan and blasted both the island’s debt and infrastructure conditions before Maria, had tweeted Thursday that the federal government cannot keep FEMA, military personnel and first responders in the U.S. territory forever.
…We cannot keep FEMA, the Military & the First Responders, who have been amazing (under the most difficult circumstances) in P.R. forever!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 12, 2017
The situation in Puerto Rico remains dire because a large portion of its residents are still struggling for access to food, clean water and electricity. Only 10.6 percent of the island’s residents have power, according to the Department of Defense. Some 64 percent of people have drinking water. The Guardian reported Wednesday that FEMA officials have privately acknowledged that 200,000 meals have been handed out per day to meet the needs of over 2 million people on the island.
According to the office of Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello, the death toll as of Thursday afternoon stands at 45, and 117 people have been reported missing.
Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, said during Thursday’s press briefing that Trump’s tweet on federal aid in Puerto Rico is “exactly accurate.”
“We hope sooner rather than later, to where the U.S. military and FEMA, generally speaking, can withdraw, because then the government and the people of Puerto Rico are recovering sufficiently to start the process of rebuilding,” Kelly said.
He added, “Our country will stand with those American citizens in Puerto Rico until the job is done.”

New Jersey's attorney general told Asbury Park city officials to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples and quit performing marriage ceremonies or face criminal charges. Attorney General Peter C. Harvey also warned state officials that those marriage licenses are invalid.
Letters were sent Tuesday to Asbury Park's city clerk, mayor, and deputy mayor. The notices come one day after the deputy mayor performed the state's first gay marriage. Harvey told Deputy Mayor James Bruno that he was wrong to perform the ceremony for the gay male couple. "We urge you to carry out your official duties in a manner consistent with the well-established court decisions and advice set forth in the accompanying letter to avoid the initiation of legal action by our office," Harvey wrote.
More marriages could mean "potential criminal prosecution," Harvey warned.
Gay marriage has so far been rejected by state courts. "The state is bound by the court, and the court has held that it is not legal," Gov. James E. McGreevey said. "Ultimately, we're a nation of laws, and we need to abide by the laws." McGreevey urged gay couples to take advantage of the state's recently passed domestic-partnership measure.
Same-sex couples, however, were still trying to get marriage licenses Tuesday before any court order halted the process. Eighteen couples filed for a license through Tuesday afternoon, and 10 applications had been completed, city officials said. Laura Jewell, spokeswoman for the city clerk's office, said Harvey's letter had been received and referred to the city's legal counsel. "Once it's been reviewed, the city will give a statement," Jewell said.
"I'm very disappointed," said Kara Snow, 43, of Jackson, who successfully filed for an application earlier Tuesday after arriving at 4 a.m. to make sure she was first in line when the clerk's office opened. "I think they could make a lot better use of their time and energy than this, such as feeding the hungry and the homeless." She said she and her partner were in the process of planning their wedding for Friday in Asbury Park, but they recognize there is a chance they won't be able to because of this state intervention. "It may not happen this time, but I'm confident it will happen in my lifetime," she said.

First off, I hate the term “mission field”. It’s too closely related to battlefield which makes mission feel like some kind of war. But in this case it provided some nice alliteration, so why not.
Secondly, some may say I’m beating a dead horse by returning to a subject so many got offended by once upon a time. Over a year ago I started this blog with the post 10 Biggest Fashion Mistakes By Mission Teams and Aid Workers. And to this day it remains one of my most popular posts ever, but also one of my most hated. “Why do we have to be fashion models when we’re just trying to do something good in this world?” Commentors have questioned. So okay, I moved on to more critical analysis of nonprofit structures and mission approaches. But I’ve had some more conversations with my Haitian peers lately that have brought the subject back into light and demonstrated how really fashion does relate to everything else going on here. It’s about much more than just looking good. And apparently there are enough people that decided my advice was insignificant, and it continues to have an effect on their quality of service offered to the Haitians. So, I’m returning. Those readers who are already annoyed can turn back now. Those who love this stuff can read on, and know that I’ve got a couple more posts coming on this subject.
I know, it can seem petty to consider that coming to a poor country one might have to worry about being fashionable. One of the biggest reasons I hear people give for their fashion choices in a country like Haiti is that they don’t want to wear nice clothes because they think that if they wear nice clothes a) it might cause anger or jealousy from the locals who aren’t able to afford nice clothes, and b) they don’t want to be targeted for a crime because they look like they have money. Which are both, actually, very good reasons, one would think, to make more modest fashion choices when in a place that is more materially impoverished.
But the strange thing is, that wearing less attractive clothing actually has the opposite effect, because trust me, if you’re white, you’re not going to fool anybody by wearing different clothes. Even if you’re not white, at least here in Haiti, you’re white. No matter what clothes we wear, people assume we have money if we come from a more developed country (like I don’t know, the USA). So we might as well take pride in our appearance and look good too. Because the simple act of traveling suggests the presence of money enough to look decent so it becomes offensive if we don’t put in any effort. If they, who don’t have any money, still make an effort to look nice, why on earth would one who has a job with an income and department stores on every corner still choose to wear such boring rags?
Here’s how it was explained to me by a Haitian friend of mine recently: if you wear crappy clothes then you must have more money because you’re obviously not spending it on clothing. A Haitian will look at someone who wears cheap looking clothes and assume that they have more money than someone wearing the nicest “fresh-air” as they call it here. Because someone who spends their money on nicer clothes has less money to keep in their pockets. But someone who is clearly wearing only hand-me-downs, thrift store swag, and free church or school t-shirts, probably has more extra money in their pockets.
And honestly, it’s not even just white folks (whiteness just gives more weight to the assumptions). But Haitians actually judge each other this way too. If they go to a soccer game or a club or even to church, they assume that the guy with the most expensive looking fresh-air there is probably the one with the least money on hand. There’s actually a fine line of looking good enough to still be respectable but not going so far as to make it look like over-compensation.
And we as visitors to this country need to allow ourselves to get to know the real culture beyond the mission myths that we were told in our orientation. If we think we are only going to encounter poor people, lost people, hopeless people, less fortunate people, we are going to make poor clothing choices ourselves. But we need to realize that there’s much more to the culture we’re entering. We need to go to those soccer games and those dance clubs and those churches. If we just go to the food distribution site or the construction site, and then back to our isolated mission base, then we’ll never get to see what the people are like within the parts of their culture that they enjoy most. It at the beaches and the parties and the concerts and the bars that the real Haiti shows itself. This myth that poor people (or people in countries considered to be poor) don’t wear nice clothes is absurd. And anyone who’s taken the time to actually look, and see, when they visit one of these places will notice that. But the idea that they would actually be offended by nice clothes is even more ridiculous.
The same way that we expect people providing us with certain services in the States to look professional, the people receiving our services in a foreign country expect us to look professional too. Putting on decent clothes provides credibility to whatever mission we have. Otherwise we become just some other schmuck who chose to spend money on a plane ticket but would never spend money on a new outfit. Doesn’t seem like a person that has much common sense let alone the qualifications to contribute effectively to community development.
And here’s where my seemingly irrelevant fashion obsession comes full circle for this blog. Mission teamers and short term volunteers would never have these skewed ideas on mission clothing in the first place if we who are leading the nonprofits and the mission organizations would quit portraying poor people on our websites and brochures through naked children, beggars in rags, and dirty peasants. That’s not the real world that we work in. It’s inaccurate and offensive even if it does bring in dollars. If we all who work in aid, mission, philanthropy, etc, would quit trying to think of ourselves as the heroes out to save the world, then our egos wouldn’t be so inflated that we miss the fact that we actually look like we couldn’t even help someone cross the street if we had to. If we would open up our eyes and begin to realize that our skin color alone is not enough to prove us to be qualified to help someone else, then maybe we would start to think a little more about the other aspects of our appearance that are going to be responsible for our reputation among people who can’t speak the same language as we do. Sure, a smile can go a long ways but only if people aren’t so distracted by ugly shoes and knee high socks that they won’t even look up to see the smile.
No one expects us all to wear the latest fashions straight off the runways of Paris and New York, but can we at least wear something that didn’t come out of the lost and found? Is it too much to ask to wear shirts with sleeves and pants with zippers? Something not stained, faded, or with holes in it? Something that doesn’t look like it was designed by a 6-year-old or a 90-year-old? This is all I wish for my humanitarian fashion revolution. Oh, and on that note, unless you’re actually in the military, can we please try to avoid looking like we are going into combat? Although I may be waging a war on bad fashion in the mission field, you won’t be catching me in any camo and big boots. Want to join me in the revolution? I’ll be offering a change to register soon.

If you’ve been holding out for AT&T’s flagship streaming-only television service to launch before ditching your current cable provider, your wait is almost up. Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T, told CNBC on Monday that DirecTV Now will launch as soon as next month.
Stephenson also claimed that DirecTV Now will be priced “radically lower” than that of the competition—and though they went unnamed, assume he’s talking about the likes of Sling and PlayStation Vue—though he didn’t get into specifics. Not only is pricing unknown at this time, but channel offerings and if there will be things like tier packages are still a mystery. In fact, what little is known at this point of DirecTV Now is the platform’s name, and the fact that it will be online-only.
The news comes on the first day of business following AT&T’s announcement of a planned $85 billion buyout of Time Warner—owners of both HBO & Showtime, two channels previously committed to the DirecTV Now lineup. Time Warner also happens to own considerable other media properties, lending more credence to AT&T’s desire to bring the company under its umbrella (so long as federal regulators approve, that is). TBS, TNT, and the original 24-hour news network, CNN all would become AT&T properties under the buyout.
With or without regulatory approval of the Time Warner acquisition (which wouldn’t close until the end of 2017 at the earliest), DirecTV Now will be an interesting test—the first of its kind for a major cable provider. If DirecTV can offer as competitive of a pricing option as Stephenson claims, and the channel packages live up to consumer expectations, expect other providers to follow suit sometime in the near future.

Lady GaGa makes the audience dazzled not only with her unique costume, but also with too much part of her breasts and butt displayed during a stage performance.
often performs with extraordinary outfits. But if she shows her private parts on stage, it is still kind of surprising. Performing at Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Glastonbury, England on Friday, June 26, she overly displayed her breasts and ass.
Wearing a sparkling silver dress which looked like a disco ball, the singer seemed not being covered enough as she showed too much part of her right breast. The minimum costume, moreover, revealed black tape sealed on her nipples. The under side of the skirt also did not hide her butt properly. Still, she walked around the stage confidently.
Being interviewed on previous occasion, Lady GaGa talked about how her self-confidence plays important role on her success. "Because that's your fame. That's where your fame lives. ... my luminosity. My constant flashing light. It's in my ability to know what I make is great. I know it is, I know it's great, and it's that sureness. That sureness is infectious," she stated.

The latest report by Click Forensics shows that click fraud is once again on the rise, jumping from 16% in the 3rd quarter of 2008 to 17.1% in the 4th quarter. More alarming, however, is the continuing growth of Botnet click fraud which has grown steadily from 9% in the first quarter of 2007 to 31.4% in the 4th quarter of 2008.
The report cited other interesting stats as well. The average click fraud rate on PPC ads in search engine content networks like Google AdSense and the Yahoo Publisher Network rose to 28.2%. A significant hit for any advertiser in a recessionary economy. Surprisingly, Canada topped the list for click fraud (7.4%) originating outside the U.S. while China came in at a lowly 2.3%.

Filling the Void
Ritualistic behaviors before, during or after a significant event are culturally pervasive. We perform rituals to help alleviate anxiety or grief or promote positive feelings. Some rituals are public; many are private. Although rituals vary and can be intensely personal, researchers have found that they mostly help people.
Funerals and memorial services are among the most common public mourning rituals in our culture. The rituals surrounding death are meant to give solace to survivors and project a meaningful existence to life. We mourn the person whose presence we will miss and we grieve for the pain the deceased and loved ones may have suffered. We also grieve missed opportunities: an intimacy we longed for that is no longer possible.
Although rituals around death are generally thought to be healing, the public rituals also get complicated by societal expectations and other factors. I recently attended a memorial service for a deceased family member. I witnessed another family member who had been estranged from the deceased thank a very close friend of the deceased for attending the memorial service…never mind that the friend had been supportive for decades while the family member was largely absent.
Years ago, when I was a high school counselor, I observed what I labeled “competitive grieving.” Two students on my caseload died suddenly and tragically within months of each other. Students and their families in this close-knit community were shaken. Those who barely knew the students wailed loudly; students who were close to the deceased resented this.
Life and Loss
People grieve differently. When someone dies, feelings of loss are triggered that may have little to do with the person who died. Regardless of the root cause of the pain, performing rituals around loss of any type can help us move beyond the emptiness. I have heard of people burning letters and photos of former significant others upon a painful breakup.
I, myself, engaged in a private ritual after my father died which proved meaningful to me. At the time of his death, I was training to run the New York City Marathon. My father was born and raised in the Bronx so, during the marathon, when we crossed the Willis Avenue Bridge leading to the Bronx, I scattered the ashes of a goodbye letter I had written my father into the Harlem River.
Nothing reverses the loss one feels after a death of a loved one or a painful divorce or breakup. Performing small, private rituals can help fill the void left when someone or something is suddenly absent from your life.

text: Colman Domingo will portray Joe Jackson in Lionsgate and Universal Pictures’ upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, according to Deadline. Domingo has made waves this award season for his performance in another biopic, Rustin, and has been nominated for a SAG Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and most recently an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, a first for the actor. “Few actors present themselves with Colman’s screen presence and force of will,” said Oscar-winning producer Graham King, who is producing the film directed by Antoine Fuqua, and written by John Logan. Domingo expressed his excitement at joining the cast, and said his “mind was blown” after seeing Jaafar Jackson in rehearsal, who will be portraying the iconic pop singer. “There is something divine about the way that Jaafar is channeling his late uncle. His talent and embodiment of Michael’s essence is simply on another level,” Domingo said.


It’s Super Bowl weekend, and that means two things: We’re all mourning the 54th-straight Super Bowl without the Detroit Lions, and the end is near. Of course, we’re all excited for “The Big Game” but lurking after the game is a seven-month void of football-less days. In those days, we’ll probably hear another former Lion trash the organization, we’ll endlessly debate if the Lions should trade down from their third overall pick, and we’ll hear unsubstantiated rumor after unsubstantiated rumor about Matthew Stafford’s future with team. If we’re lucky, we’ll also get a camp holdout, too!
In other words, the offseason sucks and it’s just days away at this point.
But rather than sit here pout about it, let’s make the offseason a little less sucky with another mailbag. This week, we’ll be recording the podcast on Monday night (live on our Twitch channel) and we’ll end the show by answering all of your questions.
If you’re new to the site or the podcast, we answer questions of all types. Draft questions, free agent questions, player questions, food questions, TV and movie questions,
If we get enough questions—I’ll also do a Mailbag article next week with the best questions that went unanswered in the PODcast.
So in the comment section below—or using the hashtag #AskPOD on Twitter—send us your best and most unique questions.

•Is this a sign that the consoles need to be revised faster, generate some interest?
•Is motion gaming also enough of a cushion to tie companies over until the next-gen?

A duo that’ll make you melt a little inside. Meet Brett & Donny, proud Honda brothers from the Netherlands. The video by ABFilms is absolutely epic, the music perfect as well as the cut outs and smooth motion tracking. Be sure to check their YouTube channel out here.
These cars were genuinely built from near stock-standard, into these beasts. Brett (dark blue EK4) has done a great engine swap, after driving around with the stock B16A2 for quite sometime, he realized it just wasn’t enough, it consumed oil for nothing etc. So he got rid of it. After this he ended up installing a 96′ spec B18C VTEC motor, which was fine for the next 3 years, but one day on a trip to Germany, it started with a bang. He was persistent, he still decided to continue, so he went and found himself a worked B18C motor fully rebuilt, but in under a year that just blew too. So after swapping out 3 blocks, he decided the B series just wasn’t enough, so he opted out for the K20, as fast and beautiful as it goes unfortunately it did take him some time to get used to the fact that the K series just doesn’t do the EK and justice, it rattles and kinks everything apart. But hey, It’s a ROCKET!
Now let’s checkout Donny’s black EK3. Bought in 2010 with a D15Z6, it got VTI badges added on and Donny was an honest bloke he didn’t think it was fast he just thought the badges looked cleaner along side the Honda EK charge-speed kit. He came to a stage where figured the fact that it was pre-facelift was kind of ugly so he decided to convert that over too. Now when your brother has a B18 and you’re stuck with a D15 we all know it’s just painful, so Donny installed a Turbo kit, tuned to 7psi it was a quick little thing, but yet again Brett (the brother) had just put in a K20 which again left the D series with no luck, even with the turbo.
There are so many GTR R34’s out there it’s not funny. But whose is the best? We’ve got the Dragsters, a few circuit based versions.. But what about an all rounder? With maximum power output and the perfect modifications. This animal puts out 982 AWHP and 660 lb-ft of torque. (732 kw / 895 nm). That ain’t quick, that’s crazy.

Few people admit it, but air bags are definitely the best way to go low. There are high performance Air Suspension systems for racing etc. And of course the low budget for street, which in all honesty don’t really impair the vehicle at all. It’s just not stiff enough for drifting and high speed cornering.
Basically putting Air Suspension on an MX-5 / Miata or an S2000 will completely ruin that perfect chassis that most dream to have. Nonetheless, what looks & sounds better? Scraping everywhere, amazing cornering or drifting, recovery from slides, impractical, can’t leave your driveway , 2 – 5cm off the ground, adjustable only when the wheels are off. Or Touching the floor low, practical, doesn’t effect your turning circle and doesn’t scrape, not drift friendly, when you corner the back kicks out a little?
Let this beautiful (show-car based?) Ferrari 360 Modena, answer your questions. If you’ve got the cash, it’s better to get Air Suspension, as long as you get the high performance (expensive) versions you should be just fine. The AirRex suspension does maintain handling & the factory performance standards, while improving the appearance.
Built by the Solo Element, this Ferrari is spectacular! The wheels in the video are by NutekWheels, and the wheels in the images are Vossen CVT wheels. And lastly the suspension is by AirREX one of the few companies I can personally vouch for AirREX as I have seen their work, and driven on it! But sadly never owned an appropriate vehicle to install air suspension to. Hopefully in the near Future. Affordable Air Suspension Systems can be found at SKREEM Performance – I believe they retail KSport Air Suspension.
Ever noticed how .. driving the MX5 feels just like you’re playing a game? It’s responsive, turns like a toy would, and it’s just … FUN! So… why not make it what it is! Checkout the 8-Bit Miata!
A genuine drift car, that’s been taken out of our 4D (four dimensional) world and put back into the 80s, when 8-bit was the it! Bearing the license plates ZOMBOY (or is it Z0MB0Y?). Now the initial car seems to have all of it’s panels cut in a pixelated fashion, and I must say it looks neat.
Did i mention it has some NEAT features? Just checkout what you need to start the actual car!
At the end of the day, this is a drift car.. so here is a nice little vid the 8BitMiata team has put together for us, enjoy!
Most of the people in the car scene are not really “friendly” towards Honda owners, and I do understand why.. they don’t exactly provide the best power-to-money ratio, so in terms of value they aren’t very good. They’re not exactly Turbo friendly (the older models of course), and their only RWD (Rear wheel drive) models are the S2000 and the NSX, they’re cheap and quite reliable (according to car-guy logic this is a bad thing, as we do like to work on our cars lol).
This animal is 697 HP
Why is Honda big in Turkey?
(TL = Turkish Lira – Currency 1 USD = 2.14 TL)
But what if, petrol costed.. $3 – 4 USD per litre? What if the yearly tax on your vehicle was calculated according to your engines displacement? In Turkey, You’re looking at 5 – 6 TL per litre for 95 Octane. If you own a V8 you’re paying 10,000 TL ($4,700 USD) per year just on registration, and how does topping up 60 litres (16 gallons) for 300+ TL ($145 USD). The average turbocharged vehicle gets about 200 km of full throttle on a tank, in Turkey this would be a disaster. So what happens.. then? Honda’s VTEC motors only really guzzle fuel when they hit VTEC, till then it’s quite fuel economic (B16A2 never hitting vtec gets an easy 500-600 kilometers (350 miles) out of a tank). Honda is quite big in Turkey, and this is the reason why.
Meet The “Hulk Civic”, The EK with a Turbocharged K20 engine, in Turkey it may be street legal, but in other countries it’s definitely classed as a race car. This thing can easily be classed as “built not bought”, here are some old videos of the car, just below you’ll see one back when it was running at 9 psi and getting 394 HP.
Here’s a quick specs list

So some people refer to their cars getting into “beast mode” when they flick a switch, drop a gear or .. kick the ass out. What if.. there was a car that had no “modes”, just existed as a beast?
This beast’s build can be followed on Facebook, the last update posted prior to blogging about this Viper was that it was getting a new rear radiator built (As seen in the images below). Currently the Oracle Light’s Viper is attending the 11th season of Formula Drift, this time in two weeks it will have qualified. This car has absolutely no limits!

A joyful and celebratory gift book devoted to the work of the much-loved English artist Eric Ravilious (1903–1942) and the influence of natural forms and themes in his work. Eric Ravilious was a designer, painter, printmaker and illustrator best known for his depictions of the English landscape, particularly the South Downs. Often described as a particularly ‘English’ artist, key to his style was an ability to convey in watercolour the mild vagaries of the British climate. His engagement with nature, though romantic rather than precise, pervades his works in many different techniques. This book explores his appreciation of the natural world and the techniques he used in a variety of media to convey those elements. Drawing on the V&A’s collections, more than 100 beautiful images capture Ravilious’s deep enjoyment of everything in nature, from dewponds, cockerels, grassy hills, owls, greenhouse geraniums, cornsheaves and snow, to the rainy seas, airport-runway puddles and tideswept beaches of his later work as a war artist. The book includes sections on weather, plants, landscape, animals and birds, and ends with a section devoted to man in the landscape, showcasing Ravilious’s love of rusting machinery and other signs of human presence within nature, not least his famous depictions of hillside chalk figures. This book will appeal to those with a love of English landscapes, flora and fauna or an interest in British art and design in the interwar period.

Caterham Brutus 750
One of the surprise announcements at EICMA, the world’s biggest motorcycle show, was the launch of Caterham Bikes. It’s a new two-wheeled division from the group that owns the sportscar company and F1 team.
The Brutus 750 is a pitched as a multi-purpose bike that works both on- and off-road, and we’re told it will also come with a kit to convert it to a snowmobile. It’s a kind of 21st century Rokon, albeit without the two-wheel drive. The raw, styling looks even better in the metal than in these images.
The official spec sheet doesn’t reveal much: the engine is a 750cc liquid-cooled DOHC unit, and it’s up to a CVT transmission. There’s no word on where that powertrain comes from, but I’m that it’s a Southeast Asian quad bike unit with the usual carburetor replaced by fuel injection. Weight is listed as 235 kg, the forks are 43mm USDs, and the wheels are 14” front and back.
If the bike looks familiar, it’s because it’s a rebranded design from Tartarini, the son of the founder of and now Caterham’s chief . But the signs do point towards serious intent on Caterham’s part. The company is to run a Moto2 race team in 2014, and has strong engineering and subsidiaries within the group.
So maybe this is one that will be put into production. And by the crowds milling around the machine at Caterham’s booth, the market is ready for it.
What about you?
