In the world of wine, Hungary is a country that cries out for rediscovery. It wasn’t always this way. There was a time, centuries past, when wines from Hungary were the toast of the courts of Europe. Long before Champagne became all the rage in the mid-nineteenth century, a Hungarian dessert wine called Tokaji was known as vinum regum, rex vinorum, ‘the wine of kings and the king of wines’.
Luminaries such as Beethoven, Voltaire and Liszt all swore by the stuff, and Louis XIV, the Sun King, used to order crates of this golden nectar for the court at Versailles. In 1730, Tokay wine was the subject of the world’s first appellation control, well over a century before the classification of Bordeaux.
The story of Hungarian wines goes back at least to Roman times. Most of the wines produced here were white, until the 16th century when Serbians, displaced by the Ottoman invasion, brought with them kadarka, the grape variety which is at the heart of Bull’s Blood (Egri Bikavér). As with other types of Hungarian wine, to drink Bull’s Blood is to drink history.
The story goes that, when the Ottomans besieged the town of Eger, the Hungarian troops, vastly outnumbered, were served red wine from the local vineyards. Somehow, a rumour spread among the Ottoman Turks that the defenders of Eger were ‘fortified’ by dark red wine mixed with bulls’ blood. A bit of psychological warfare, perhaps, but the Turks turned back and fled. There are several variations on this bit of history dipped in legend.
What is in no doubt is that in 1945, after Hungary fell to the Russians — signalling 44 years of socialism — all the country’s big vineyards were broken up. Often the land was ‘redistributed’ to the peasantry, three hectares each. This instigated an almost instant decline in production, so collective farms and cooperatives were introduced. Unfortunately, collectivism was hardly conducive to quality, or individuality. The co-operatives had to fulfil production quotas handed down to them by ‘the party’, so numerous poor practices were adopted.
The sloping vineyards that characterise the Tokay region, for example, were abandoned, and the thin, sandy soil of the Great Plains, which allowed the use of tractors, became the home of many a vineyard, and the source of an enormous quantity of shockingly bad wine. By 1989, the year which saw one communist regime after another topple like dominoes across Europe, the reputation of Hungarian wine was in tatters.
It’s amazing what a generation of bright, wine-loving Hungarians can accomplish when they put their minds to it, individually and collectively. These days, the renaissance of the Hungarian wine industry is well underway. Inside Hungary, a new breed of wine growers is held in high esteem, and Hungarian wine is slowly reshaping its image in foreign markets. In contemporary Hungary, the best-known varietals are probably the aforementioned Tokay and Egri Bikavér, along with the red wines from Villány in the south.
Tokay, a sweet wine made from grapes infected by ‘noble rot’, varies in rating from one star, which can be purchased for a few euros, to five stars, a bottle of which can cost hundreds. Bull’s Blood is traditionally a blend of five or more grapes, with the kadarka grape acting as the base note for other flavours. It is aged 12 months in the cask and six in the bottle before going to market. Since the days of communism, however, inferior quality Bull’s Blood has been mass-produced, with some real rot-gut available in stores for two or three euro. If looking to taste quality Egri Bikavér, then seek out the appropriately named Superior label.
Some of the most successful vineyards are located in Villány region, not unrelated to significant foreign investment, and wine tourism is comparatively big business in an otherwise quite poor part of the country. A prime example is Kopár, a full bodied barrique-aged cuvee of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot which tends to be dense and tannic with a concentrated bouquet and the potential to improve greatly with age.
As for the sparkling, or as they call it here, peszgő: Hungary has been producing this since the 1820s. Most of it is made in the Budai Mountains, near Budapest. New méthode wines are emerging, as is a more frequent use of ‘native’ grapes, such as olaszrizling. The most popular and most widely available of these sparklers is Hungária Extra Dry. It is made employing the méthode traditionelle, where the wines ferment and mature in the same bottles. The grapes in this instance are 100 per cent chardonnay.
A bottle of Hungarian Extra Dry can be picked up at retail price of about six or seven euro. This is another commendable aspect of Hungarian wines, at least when purchased in Hungary: they are astonishingly good value for money. But this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg: a lifetime could be spent exploring the different varietals and vineyards of the national viniculture. It seems the hour must be at hand when Hungarian wines again enjoy their season in the sun, but in the meantime, the scarcity of Hungarian wine globally is all the more reason to travel to this country of 22 wine regions.
Here are a few places to commence what could be a lifelong friendship.
This specialist tour operator organises everything from Danube wine cruises, special dinner and cooking classes, and regional wine tours and vacations, to Budapest walking tours, orientated around wine. The regional tours include well-planned wine trails to relatively nearby destinations such as Vienna, Bratislava and Subotica, just over the border in Serbia. They also have a ‘tasting table’ and shop in Budapest, on leafy Brody Sandor Street, right next to the National Museum.
This is the first wine bar in a fast growing chain, sitting in the shadow of St. Stephen’s Basilica, the Hungarian nation’s equivalent to St Peter’s in Rome or St Paul’s in London. As the bar is dedicated to selling and promoting solely Hungarian wine, it seems odd the owners gave it an Italian name — but that’s to quibble. They have a terrific selection of Hungarian wines to wash down finger foods such as duck crackling, olives, and ham and cheese platters. There’s a shop onsite for home supplies.
There are few better places for developing a taste for Hungarian wines than this cosy wine bar in the seventh district, the quaintly ramshackle old Jewish neighbourhood. This establishment has 200 types of Hungarian red and white wine, rosés, sparkling wines and dessert wines. If the avuncular owner is in, he’s happy to share some of his passion and expertise. Regular live jazz and a tasty selection of bar snacks make for the ideal accompaniment to an evening’s tasting.

During the summer when we were in Utah, I took the girls to the BYU Museum of Art. This painting by Brian Kershisnik, called Nativity, is huge and incredible up close. You see angels of different ages, some weeping with joy, some singing. Look closely at the holy family: in Joseph's face you can see an expression of relief and maybe wonder? I can't even find words to describe it. Zoom in next to the virgin Mary, you see two women with hands covered in blood, probably midwives who attended the birth of baby Jesus. I remember feeling surprised at the depth of detail, and then it made me think about more details surrounding his birth. A picture is truly worth a thousand words. I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe he was born in Bethlehem, and that an angel came to announce his birth to shepherds. I believe Jesus is the Good Shepherd spoken of in the New Testament. Believing has been easy for me, so I really can't take much credit for it. I hope that my actions show that I

Here is our recently updated Avantera Unwind review. Read on to find out how Avantera Unwind compares to other sleep aids and stress reduction supplements in terms of effectiveness, safety, ingredient quality, and value for money.
Avantera Unwind Review TL;DR Summary:
- Melatonin is a tried and tested sleep aid (4)
- Contains high-quality forms of Zinc and Magnesium
- Strict manufacturing practices in cGMP and FDA approved facilities
- Should help you sleep better and reduce stress & anxiety
- Proprietary blend – doses of some key ingredients aren’t shown
- Some unproven ingredients
Avantera Unwind Simplified:
Avantera Unwind is a decent sleep aid/stress reliever. It contains standard ingredients that you will find in other similar supplements. These include Ashwagandha, magnesium, melatonin, and passionflower amongst others.
We’ve found it to be effective for sleep and anxiety, though there are a few issues. Ashwagandha’s dosage is unknown, and so is the dose of lavender and a number of other ingredients. Without knowing ingredient dosages, you can only guess how they will work for you.
We think that for the price of $54.95 for a single-time purchase, Unwind could improve upon some areas before we can recommend it as one of the best options on the market. That said, if the price isn’t a deal-breaker for you, Awantera Unwind could very well be worth a try.
What do we recommend?
About Avantera Unwind
Unwind is a brand new adaptogen/sleep support supplement from the U.S. company Avantera Health. With 30 servings per bottle, Unwind only sells on the official website at the moment. But what does it do exactly?
According to Avantera, Unwind consists of 7 natural, adaptogen ingredients formulated to help you:
- Promote healthy stress response
- Support immune function
- Enhance memory
- Improve sleep efficiency
Natural sleep aids and anti-stress supplements are nothing new. We have been using herbal remedies for anxiety and stress for thousands of years; just think of how relaxing a cup of chamomile tea can be, not to mention stronger substances!
Today, the best sleep aids and stress reduction supplements all contain some ingredients which reduce mental chatter, promote clear, calm headspace, and help relieve chronic tension. The most comprehensive supplements do this without sacrificing your brain function and mental performance – as in, without sedating and causing “numbness”.
The question is, does Avantera Unwind work? Can this supplement really do all of the things Avantera says it can? Are these pills safe? How often should you take them? In this Avantera Unwind review, we answer all your questions and more!
Avantera Unwind Review: Key Facts
|Helps relieve mental tension, promotes a calm mind, enhances memory, supports mood & sleep
|Magnesium, Zinc, Ashwagandha, Passionflower, Lavender, Chamomile, Melatonin
How to use Avantera Unwind
Avantera Unwind dosage is 2 capsules, two hours before going to sleep.
Avantera Unwind Ingredients
Here is the ingredient label of Avantera Unwind:
Here are the ingredients in Avantera Unwind in case that image didn’t load properly for you:
- Magnesium Glycinate (120mg)
- Zinc Picolinate (30mg)
- Avantera Stress Support Blend (390mg)
- Sensoril Ashwagandha Root & Leaf Extract (DOSE UNKNOWN)
- Passionflower Powder (DOSE UNKNOWN)
- English Lavender FLower Powder (DOSE UNKNOWN)
- Chamomile Flower Powder (DOSE UNKNOWN)
- Melatonin (1mg)
This is a fairly standard formula for anti-stress and sleep-enhancing supplements. These same ingredients are found in most similar products.
That said, it is nice to see that Avantera is using some higher quality forms of nutrients, such as Magnesium Glycinate and Zinc Picolinate. Coupled with melatonin, it should be enough to help you get to sleep faster and sleep better as well.
But there are some issues as well. Avantera Unwind is using a proprietary blend, which means you can’t tell the exact ingredient doses that are inside. You can only see the dose of the entire blend with all the ingredients combined.
The size of the proprietary blend is tiny considering the number of ingredients it has. This brings up the question – are some of the compounds underdosed?
Let’s take a closer look.
Magnesium Glycinate (120mg)
Magnesium is a solid sleep aid. It works by reducing brain cell activity; magnesium diminishes the number of signals which transfer between your neurons, effectively “quieting your mind”. It also helps prevent night-time muscle cramps and spasms, relaxes blood vessels, and reduces your heart rate. Supplementing with 200mg of magnesium is shown to be the optimal minimum dosage to unwind the body into a deep, restful sleep.
Zinc Picolinate (30mg)
Zinc is another essential mineral and excellent sleep aid. It regulates countless functions of your body, from hormone production to skin and hair health. In the context of sleep and anti-stress supplements, zinc can help prevent your cortisol levels from rising too high, which can interfere with your sleep.
Zinc Picolinate is an excellent form of zinc; it absorbs and digests very well.
The only potential complaint is the dosage – 30mg is quite a lot! You should make sure to take Avantera Unwind with food because this much zinc is known to cause stomach pain and diarrhea, amongst others. Plus, if you are going to be using this supplement every day, it’s better to take 15mg-20mg of zinc max. To prevent copper malabsorption. (1)
Sensoril Ashwagandha Root & Leaf Extract (DOSE UNKNOWN)
Ashwagandha is one of the most popular anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) herbs today. And for a good reason.
Ashwagandha works by reducing blood cortisol levels. Cortisol is your chief “stress” hormone. It is vitally useful when released in response to threat or danger, much like norepinephrine. However, chronically elevated cortisol is physically and mentally destructive (again, much like norepinephrine).
By diminishing cortisol, ashwagandha can significantly reduce both symptoms and actual feelings of worry, tension, overthinking, and stress.
Avanterea Unwind is using Sensoril Ashwagandha, which, compared to other forms of ashwagandha (e.g. KSM-66), is particularly effective for stress reduction. The only problem is, we can’t see its dosage! 250-500mg per day is shown to be the minimum optimal dosage for reducing stress. (2) The entire proprietary blend of Avantera Unwind is only 390mg.
Passionflower Powder (DOSE UNKNOWN)
Passionflower is a common ingredient in cheaper sleep aids today. Unlike Ashwagandha, there doesn’t seem to be any serious scientific proof for Passionflower’s use as a sleep enhancer or stress reduction supplement. Very few solid clinical trials exist in humans, and none of them have shown a better night’s sleep from passionflower consumption alone. This is a waste of capsule space in our opinion.
English Lavender Flower Powder (DOSE UNKNOWN)
Lavender, or Lavandula, is a family of plants used most commonly for essential oils and perfumes. Inhaling lavender oil – or consuming its powder as a supplement – can temporarily alleviate anxiety symptoms. (3)
Although lavender doesn’t have a sedative effect, it may help improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia.
The minimum effective dosage for Lavender is 80 – 160 mg of a supplement with 25 – 46% linalool (active substance). Avantera doesn’t show us how much lavender it contains nor what its linalool content is. Therefore, assessing how this ingredient will – or won’t affect you – is a bit tricky!
Chamomile Flower Powder (DOSE UNKNOWN)
Chamomile is a delicious caffeine-free tea to drink to relax and unwind. It is natural, relaxing, and it won’t potentially keep you awake like green tea might. However, supplementing with chamomile plant parts has never been shown in scientific research to improve sleep quality in humans.
We recommend just drinking chamomile tea and spending less money on more robustly proven ingredients. This is yet another ingredient that is wasting capsule space here. Better ingredients could be used in its stead – including tart cherry, phosphatidylserine, or taurine.
Melatonin is the hormone that controls when you are awake and when you are asleep. It is released when it’s time for you to feel sleepy, it spikes when you need to enter deep sleep, and it wanes when it’s time to get up. Supplementing with melatonin enhances sleep from pretty much every angle – it corrects jet lag, reduces sleep onset & latency, and promotes sleep quality. You need about 2mg of melatonin to feel the full effects, and 5mg for jet lag specifically. (4)
Before buying a sleep aid or stress-reducing supplement like Avantera Unwind, it is always worth checking what other customers are saying about its pros and cons.
Unfortunately, since Unwind is still a relatively new product, impartial reviews are difficult to find. The only reviews currently available are those from Avantera’s official website, where it has an almost-perfect rating of 4.8/5 stars.
Does Avantera Unwind Have Side Effects?
Is Avantera Unwind safe to take long-term? What are the side effect risks?
These are likely some of the most important questions for our Avantera Unwind review to answer.
Avantera Unwind looks like a safe supplement for most people to take on a regular basis. The ingredients have all been tested in clinical trials and none of them are known to cause major side effects. The only exception is zinc – higher dosages can cause cramps and diarrhea, and potentially copper deficiency in the long term.
*You should check with a qualified professional if you aren’t sure whether to take this product or not. Remember, our posts aren’t meant as advice – they’re for informational and entertainment purposes only!
Where to Buy?
Avantera Unwind currently sells on their website. It is not available on Amazon or anywhere else at the moment.
However, it is possible to get Avantera Unwind for $39.95 if you subscribe to recurring delivery and automatized credit card charges.
The Bottom Line
Does Avantera Unwind work?
The answer is yes – Awantera Unwind works for sleep and reducing stress. It has some well-researched ingredients for this purpose, and the risk of side effects is low.
That said, is Avantera Unwind the best anti-stress/sleep supplement we’ve seen?
The supplement has a few downsides that make it fall behind our current top picks.
The most obvious issue is the proprietary blend. Without seeing ingredient doses, there is no way to know if they are effective at all. We only have the manufacturer’s promise. That said, it is likely that some key ingredients like Ashwagandha are underdosed, because the minimum optimal dosage for this ingredient is 250mg-500mg, and the entire proprietary blend of Unwind is only 390mg.
Then there is the issue with unproven and untested ingredients. There is not a single robust human study that shows Passionflower alone does anything for sleep or anxiety. The same applies to chamomile, which is great as a tea, but there is no proof that it works when its parts are plucked, dried, and grounded into a supplement.
There are quite a few core ingredients that are missing from Unwind, including Phosphatidylserine and Taurine. These could be added to replace the ineffective ones in the formula.
With that said, Avantera Unwind is definitely not a terrible supplement. It has some great ingredients, some of which have their dosages shown. These alone should be enough to alleviate stress and help you sleep better.
It is just that for the price of $54.95, better sleep aids and stress reduction supplements can be found on the market.

Back in the day — actually not that long ago — America was a very, very different place. The housing market was booming, the economy was thriving, the job market was secure, and the Backstreet Boys were still considered cool (groan). Thanks to the beliefs and values of past generations, during this time home ownership was a sign of having “made it” in life.
However, was the Great Recession hit during the mid 2000′s, America underwent a major change. The housing market plummeted, the economy crashed, and the job market became fiercely competitive and unstable. Thousands upon thousands of Americans lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings as the economy spiraled downward.
Because of this, Americans had to adapt and do so quickly. As such, renting lofts and apartments became increasingly popular as more and more Americans were forced out of their homes. Now, nearly six years later, attitudes towards renting have changed and for the better the best apartments have changed.
Many people choose to rent a luxury apartment due to the sheer convenience and flexibility it provides. For example, where else can you find world class amenities, a convenient location, stylish interiors in one place? In fact, luxury apartment rentals have become so popular that developers and racing to keep up with the demand for new suburban and city loft apartments.
However, don’t let the word luxury throw you off. If you choose to rent a luxury apartment, you’d be surprised how affordable they are. The cost of renting is significantly less than owning a home, which is rife with unexpected expenses and repairs. On the other hand, those who choose to rent a luxury apartment can enjoy the convenience of round the clock maintenance, all of which is included in the monthly rent.

Did you know that intermittent fasting benefits mental health? If you think about it, many religions advocate some form of fasting at certain times. It helps discipline the mind and enables you to go without food for a specific time frame as many foods are restricted during the eating periods. Some religions have even stricter fasts. Isn’t this similar to intermittent fasting?
Adapting to intermittent fasting can take some time. You may have to gradually increase your fasting periods and decrease your eating times so that your body and mind can get used to the new eating plan slowly and steadily. It will enable you to reap the positives and discard the adverse effects of fasting.
How Does Fasting Impact Your Mental State Positively?
Fasting has some incredible benefits beyond the weight loss you experience:
- Memory gets sharper – according to a study on fasting, memory gets sharper as intermittent fasting helps improve memory and cognition.
- Mood improves – often, eating is linked to mood, and some people eat more when they are stressed physically or mentally. Intermittent fasting actually improves mood, reduces tension, and you may be able to manage anger better.
- Mental problems reduce – as intermittent fasting reduces blood pressure, it helps improve mental issues like depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and even Alzheimer’s. This happens because lower blood pressure improves blood flow to the brain.
- Cognition improves – fasting helps grow more neurons in the brain. This helps the brain recover from trauma and decreases the risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, apart from other brain disorders.
- Happiness increases – as intermittent fasting has been linked to increased levels of neurotransmitters like serotonin, you will feel better and happier.
- Willpower emerges – this eating plan improves discipline and willpower. The very fact that you have control over the times you eat points to willpower. When you succeed in practicing intermittent fasting, you also feel more confident that you can adhere to this kind of eating schedule.
- Energy levels go up – your body is not busy digesting food every few hours. So you have more energy to direct to other activities. It may not happen instantaneously but may take time as you get used to intermittent fasting.
If you are successful in following this eating plan, you will feel mentally better in many ways.
How Does Fasting Impact Your Mental State Negatively?
This fasting-feeding schedule may help with many mild mental disorders. At the same time, in the initial stages, you may feel it is difficult to follow this reasonably strict routine. When you are used to eating at all times of the day and night, it can be tough to follow a more rigorous diet schedule.
Initially, you may feel that fasting is not helping you. Some research has shown that intermittent fasting may impact your mental health negatively. You may experience these effects:
- Mood swings – if hunger makes you feel cranky and angry at the same time, intermittent fasting may aggravate these feelings till you get used to fasting. This may be linked to reduced blood sugar levels when you have not eaten for a long time.
- Feeling tired constantly – physical and mental fatigue may be linked to diet. When you are fasting, the insulin and cortisol levels in the body increase, and these can cause you to feel more tired.
- Difficulty sleeping – whether or not you suffer from insomnia, you may feel hunger pangs if you sleep much later after you have eaten. Lack of enough or good quality sleep can also make you feel more tired and stressed.
While your body and mind may take time adapting to intermittent fasting, you have to be prepared to deal with the short-term adverse effects of this eating plan.
How to Adapt Your Body and Mind to Intermittent Fasting?
The mind and body connection is powerful. So what you eat and drink has specific effects on mental health and vice versa. Intermittent fasting is a time-based eating schedule that appears easy to follow. However, it can be a strict discipline to train your mind and your stomach to get used to eating at certain times only. And intermittent fasting is known to have many health benefits, including weight loss and improved mood and cognition.
When you find it difficult to get into a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule, try to ease into it by gradually increasing the fasting times and decreasing the feeding periods.
You may want to start by adding and subtracting an hour each day to give your body and your mind time to adapt. Doing it slowly may enable you to reach the 14:10 schedule in a week or so.
Check out any of the different intermittent fasting schedules and try them out till you find one that your mind and body can adjust to over the long term. Just keep in mind that you may have to struggle for a month to get used to the new eating schedule.
You must stop eating junk and processed foods that cause sugar spikes. Low blood sugar quickly affects your mental well-being, and you may be unable to stop yourself from reaching for sugary sweet snacks or sodas to quell the hunger (even if it is within your feeding time).
When you opt for healthier food options at such times, you will be able to master your hunger. And if you have eaten high fiber foods to start your day, you may not experience the sugar spikes, to begin with. The same goes for night hunger pangs.
Don’t exercise when tired and hungry. While physical fitness is essential, you simply cannot expect your body to function optimally if you are feeling hungry and tired. It may be a good idea to go for a relaxing walk to take your mind off food. Or eat complex carbohydrates and protein foods just before exercising and also during recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does intermittent fasting help with anxiety?
Research shows that fasting helps a great deal with anxiety issues. It does this on a physiological level by reducing inflammation in the central nervous system. And it does this on a psychological level because when you have more control over your eating and the discipline to stick to a fasting-feeding schedule, you are more mentally prepared to deal with anxiety.
Is fasting good for depression?
Conflicting evidence exists in this regard. Some studies show that fasting may help depression. Others show that fasting can increase the incidence of depression. As depression, particularly clinical depression, can have many causes, it comes under neuropsychiatry. And diet and fasting may or not affect it.
What is clear is that more research is needed to find if there is a cause and effect connection between diet and depression.
Does fasting increase mental focus?
Fasting increases alertness and mental focus. When you eat less, your body can get rid of toxins faster, which helps improve mental focus. The discipline that you adopt when following a strict eating routine is also helpful in this regard.
What is the connection between intermittent fasting and OCD?
If you are suffering from OCD, intermittent fasting may change it to an eating disorder like anorexia. On the other hand, if your OCD is related to diet, intermittent fasting or keto or both (or even just fasting) may help you overcome OCD.
However, research shows that you should not stop any medications you are taking for OCD. While intermittent fasting benefits mental health, you want to get benefits and not have another problem on your hands. If you have any questions or notice any signs of trouble, always consult your doctor.

With less than two months until his return from Iraq, Army Spec. Corey Shea had looked ahead to moving to Texas and going to college to study criminal justice.
As with so many young men serving in war zones, the Mansfield nativewould not live to fulfill his goals.
Shea, 21, and another soldier, Sgt. Jose Regalado of Los Angeles, died Wednesday in Mosul when a uniformed Iraqi Army soldier approached them and opened fire.
“His life had changed since 9/11 and he wanted to serve our country,” said Shea’s aunt Renee O’Neil. “And we just call him a hero right now.”
Shea was assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Regiment, based in Fort Hood, Texas. A 2005 graduate of Mansfield High School, Shea was a member of the hockey and football teams and enjoyed playing poker, O’Neil said.
“He had a heart of gold, and it’s just tragic that something like this has hit home,” she said.
Always willing to educate others about Iraq, Shea spoke to students at his alma mater about three weeks ago while on leave, making his death more of a shock for family and friends. Mansfield High held a moment of silence in honor of Shea on Friday morning.
“Corey Shea was a very outgoing person, he was someone that pretty much everyone got along with,” Army buddy Nathan Mahle told the Herald in an electronic message. “He didn’t hesitate to do something if he wanted to do it.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended widespread use of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine among children residing in regions of moderate to high malaria transmission. The recommendation is informed by RTS,S evidence, including findings from the pilot rollout of the vaccine in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi. This study estimates the incremental costs of introducing and delivering the malaria vaccine within routine immunization programs. The study, which is meant to help inform decision-making in countries, was conducted in the context of malaria vaccine pilot introduction. Based on the findings, the financial costs of introducing RTS,S are comparable with costs of introducing other new vaccines. Findings also showed that country resource requirements for malaria vaccine introduction are most influenced by vaccine price and potential donor funding for vaccine purchases and introduction support.

Arabian Nights was not the set of tales I had expected at all. I thought of Aladdin and not much else and I was surprised by what I would find. It was instead a very fascinating but equally bizarre narrative with strange sex, murder, deceit, demons, women’s strength, and much more. Bringing it back to IS5, Ethan drew a connection to this story and that of Gilgamesh in the way the main character in both stories needed a distraction from very destructive behavior. Gilgamesh needed to be stopped from doing whatever he wanted, while the king in Arabian Nights needed to be stopped from a murder spree of women. I quickly learned during our discussion that there was significance to the tales in Arabian Nights as fables and folklore. Women have a particularly interesting role in this book of tales as they take on a variety of symbols in what we have read so far that includes having agency. In this first protokoll, I would like to explore the structure of the narrative, the connection between demons within the stories and the actual kings, and the greater question which is: what is the woman’s end game with the king? (as Travis asked). Does she hope to save society with her cunning or is she just “kicking the cab down the road”, a theory we explored in class.
To summarize some points, the king’s deceitful wife caused him to believe no woman can be trusted and that is only highlighted when he visits his brother’s kingdom and finds more betrayal there. His brother also being betrayed ironically makes him feel better which adds some humor to this story. I questioned why such extreme measures were taken by the king to murder all the virgins the night after marrying them, but I wonder now about the greater meaning of the situation beyond that of the murders he commits. A very intelligent women, Shahrazad, volunteers to marry the king and she has a plan. She begins to tell a story and with her sister’s encouragement the story and more stories follow, which stop her death sentence at least for the time being. I just wonder as an aside, what happened to the second brother who was also deceived by his wife? After his part in the book, he is missing from the narrative. There is already so much going on in Arabian Nights that having another story line going would make it very difficult to follow along.
The structure of the narrative the class found reminiscent of Marie de France with its flow and the beginning of the tales being similar in terms of an “I cannot wait to tell you this story” sort of attitude. I, personally, found the romantic style to be present in both works. In Arabian Nights, there is much repetition of phrases and a lot strange fantasy elements in the way the tales are told. The way the stories are set up draws questions of how true the stories actually are historically (not actually due to the fantasy elements). The authenticity of the stories of both works was questioned by the class, but I think it is difficult to question such a story with so many years of alterations to the manuscripts as the introduction points out. Taking years and years of spoken word and putting it into stories is very difficult already.
Some of us also found the book hard to put down as the stories drew us in in a similar way that they drew the very crazy, unreasonable king, compelled to listen further night after night to a cunning woman. The tales were told in a way that made one want to read on, but also left one with many questions about clarity and plot. To answer some of these questions, Adam drew a diagram of the stories and sub stories on the board where we struggled to decide what part of the plot was resolved in which story. (I feel like I am describing a soap opera at this point.) Many questions came to the table but a significant one is, are these stories told by the woman close to authentic ones or was the woman tailoring these stories to serve her purpose? That idea that she had specific purpose in mind is debatable as well. What is the purpose? The class thought she could weave these stories to compel the king to spare her, and then the kingdom, and that they brought out parallels such as with the king and the demons found in her stories.
The connection between the kings and demons is really interesting because both the kings and demons can be reasoned with in unusual but similar ways. The demons and kings have a murderous, unforgiving nature that makes them very cold and harsh. One demon was released from a jar, but wanted to kill the man that released him and this seems really unfair to me. Both king and demon appear so powerful, but somehow using logic or trickery in the case of the fisherman, one can outsmart a demon. The deep question of whether a man or demon is superior came up in class and I pondered it but truly do not have an answer. Another huge parallel made is the woman that came out of the demon’s chest in one of the stories was there for the demon to keep chaste. This is like the king in the main story wanting his wife to stay faithful to him.
Women’s agency is captivating in this story because women are better story tellers, women cause deceit, and a woman takes it upon herself to control a dangerous situation and save society. Why doesn’t anyone kill the king or why don’t they all run away? Well, the class said that there wouldn’t be much of a story if everyone ran away. The greatest question is what is the end game for our female protagonist? There can be theories spawned from this question that only further reading can really answer. In my eyes, she is saving society temporarily, but can she really convince such a murderous, bitter man that wants to destroy all women that he should change his ways? Is her charm what will change his mind or will a moral in one of the stories warm his ice cold heart? We shall read on in the story and find out what she can achieve with her story telling. Can she save society? One other question to ponder is how will her story telling evolve? Will there be more parallels to real life and more demons that connect to the king? Will her agency shine and bring prosperity to the kingdom is what I really wonder.

Still feeling patriotic after yesterday’s festivities? Or maybe just hungover and in need of a good “hangover movie” or two? You’re in luck, because today’s Two of a Grind features two war movies and what is more American than war?
While the greatest war film of all time, Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, is available for everyone to enjoy (perhaps the wrong word choice) on The Grindhouse Channel, today’s choices are a bit less cynical, including a very patriotic group of high school kids battling the Ruskies and a secret government experiment based out of the Navy yard in the greatest city of the world (yes, I know, my Philly pride is showing).
“Wolverines!” If you have never heard of Red Dawn, you’re either far younger than I or living under a rock. There was a remake a few years back, but it was awful… despite the involvement of Chris “Thor” Hemsworth. The original is far less the cheesy 80’s tome you’d expect it to be and features some hardcore violence and a whole lot of Patrick Swayze and his crew of 80s Tiger Beat cover models being guerilla badasses. Patriotic as fuck, the film is all about trouncing on Russians, Nicaraguans, and Cubans… beating up the enemy is what Independence Day is all about, so it’s a pretty perfect selection for this post 4th hangover.
In this weird Sci-Fi gem, Michael Paré stars in a tale based on the urban legend of a secret government experiment to make planes invisible to radar. However, in this story, the government programs mistakenly creates a method of time traveling. Of course, the unintentional time travelers have to save the word. The Philadelphia Experiment is a classic and a must see. Steeped in conspiracy theory, this one is a bit less “America, fuck yeah!” in nature than the last. However, if you are into 80’s science fiction like Back to the Future, this film is tailor made for you!
So on this, the day after the drunkest, loudest, more explosive day in the American calendar, remember to keep grindin’.

While the federalists were running essays in new york papers supporting the constitution, anti-federalists, like robert yates - a new york supreme court the convention was exceeding its instructions) and the likely author of opposition essays known as letters of brutus) - were publishing articles strongly against it.

Trary to the common conception reflected in the various works, no 78 was not the result of some spontaneous inspiration on hamilton's part to endorse judicial review 6 the first to note that federalist no 78 was prompted by brutus' essays on the judiciary was edward s corwin, in his celebrated work written during fdr's.

Abstract: brutus, one of the loose-knit group of anti-federalists who opposed the adoption of the constitution, was convinced that the new government would prove to be a national, not a federal, government that the several states would cease to exist as sovereign entities and that the judiciary would be instrumental in. The judiciary, hamilton said in federalist no 78, has the duty to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the constitution void john marshall made this understanding binding law in marbury v madison once the supreme court announces its judgment on a constitutional question, it cannot be altered by any vote.

Highlight of the Week
The Recession That Never Came
At the beginning of 2023, the outlook for the US economy was gloomy – inflation levels had reached 6.5%, the Federal Reserve had hiked interest rates seven times in 2022, and borrowing costs were skyrocketing. Economists and policymakers alike were warning that these pressures would likely cause increased unemployment and decreased output. In October 2022, Bloomberg Economics projected the odds of a recession in 2023 to be 100%.
However, the US economy defied these predictions and exceeded expectations in several areas. Unemployment has remained at historically low levels, and the annual 2.8% growth in real GDP is better than expected. All the while, inflation has declined to 3.1%.
Economists attribute the predictive miss to a few different factors:
- Economic models failed to consider the unprecedented nature of COVID and the resulting $5 trillion fiscal stimulus. The excess savings in consumer pockets allowed consumer spending to consistently beat expectations in 2023.
- Productivity continued to rise as new technologies emerged and the supply chain finally resolved many pandemic-era disruptions and shortages. The increased supply helped cool inflationary pressures and support GDP growth.
- The labor market remained resilient as the sectors hit hardest during the pandemic, including leisure and hospitality, continued to recover in 2023 and contributed to surprise gains in the labor market. Additionally, a surprising number of people came off the sidelines to rejoin the workforce last year.
Economists are now adjusting models and making forecasts for 2024. Hopeful for a soft-landing scenario, more than three-fourths of economists believe the chance of a recession in the next 12 months is less than 50%, according to a December survey from the National Association for Business Economics. Perhaps this projection will be fulfilled in 2024; however, only time will tell.

- Spider - 3"
- Jack-o-lantern - 2"
Your cat doesn’t care that you think this toy is cute; they like it for all the right reasons. The Himalayan wool we use is not chemically cleansed, so it has a lot of lanolin in it. Lanolin is the natural oil unique to sheep’s wool and it reminds cats of the scent of their mother. Even without catnip or bells, your cat will be naturally engaged.
Using a technique called wet-felting, the only materials used in the making of these toys are pure wool, natural soap and water. They use safe, non-toxic dyes in an environmentally sustainable low-impact dying process which uses less energy and produces less waste byproduct. The products are handcrafted by women in Nepal; your purchase supports these artisans and their families, helps raise them out of poverty, and keeps crafting traditions alive.
Care: The lanolin in the wool is anti-microbial and odor resistant which keeps your pet’s toy naturally clean. If necessary, it can be spot cleaned with a sponge.Advice for use: This toy is for pets only. It is 100% natural wool, but you should monitor your pet’s behavior with

So you might have seen this picture making the rounds on Facebook and Google+ (Ok, maybe not Google+...) along with the requisite thousand-plus comments railing against decadent corporate growth, the heartless advance of technology, the desecration of ancient culture, the plight of the vanishing rainforest. Or at least that's what they'd all be commenting about if they could spell those things. You may have seen this news item and wondered, deep down in your heart-souls, "What does Sam Tyner think about all of this?"
Basically, what news articles (like this one) boil this down to is the Brazilian government saying "this isn't going to fuck anything up" and the chief of the Kayopos tribe saying that it in fact will, along with a ubiquitous picture of a semi-official (for Brazil, anyway) man looking down at the shirtless, backwater chief as he cries for the fate of his river. Because native peoples are allowed to "own" nature but it's vulgar for anyone else to.
We Americans may like to poke fun at our dumber citizens and worry that our high schoolers can't find America on a map, but we are one of the most educated and enlightened cultures in the history of the world. So we watch other growing countries doing THE EXACT SAME THING WE DID AS A DEVELOPING NATION and point our fingers and whine about it, never wanting to acknowledge that developing a civilization has never been a clean, polite endeavor. We also like to think that we know what's best for people in other countries and have no problem voicing our comically uninformed opinions to anyone who will listen on the internet.
The article I linked to also mentions a "plea on Facebook to aid the native people" which I think underscores a larger problem in our society. With the internet being more integrated into formal news channels and the line blurring between reputable sources and "Dave's Internet News Shack," the reality of giving everybody a voice is sinking in. The problem is not that we should completely discount what certain people say, it's that those people don't have to inform themselves at all to be able to have their voices heard. A thousand people will read the same 50-word snippet on dlisted.com or 4chan and fire off a knee-jerk comment about "when will are copratate greed sotp!!1" or "stay the fcuk out da rainforrests!!" and that's considered the voice of the masses by news outlets. Reddit becomes an engine for change all of a sudden.
But this post isn't about retards on the internet. It's not even meant to belittle the struggle of old ways against new. This is about our cultural preoccupation with hypocritically condemning technological expansion. Now that's a wordy subject, so I'll try to be less wordy with the rest of this post. People that complain about deforestation or displaced natives can only do so in complete ignorance of the entire history of humans. People that complain about how technology is going to ruin our future and end our species are presuming to know a lot more than anybody can about the future. And people that complain about any social issue need to read past the headlines before anybody is allowed to listen to them.

Sir John Elvidge, Permanent Secretary to the Scottish Government, has announced that he will retire towards….
Sir John Elvidge, Permanent Secretary to the Scottish Government, has announced that he will retire towards the end of June after seven years in the post. Sir John’s successor will be Peter Housden, currently Permanent Secretary to the Department of Communities and Local Government within the UK Government.
Sir John said:
“Leading the Civil Service supporting two Scottish Governments, through seven years of Scotland’s experience of devolution, has been a hugely stimulating and enjoyable role. It is a difficult job to leave but it calls for someone who can provide continuity of leadership before and after the Scottish elections next year and in supporting Ministers in planning and delivering the response to the public expenditure changes which lie ahead.
“I am proud of the way in which the Civil Service has adapted to the continuing development of devolution. I am confident that I am leaving behind an organisation well placed to tackle the challenges of the future.
“I am delighted that Peter Housden will be my successor. He brings great leadership experience, which will be a huge asset in this exceptionally broad and complex job. I wish him every success and as much satisfaction from the job as I have had.”
First Minister Alex Salmond said:
“I have thoroughly enjoyed working with John Elvidge. He merits enormous credit for the professionalism with which the Civil Service supported the change of government in 2007 and has worked with me and my Ministerial team since then to make a success of Scotland’s experience of minority government.
“I fully understand his decision to stand down after seven years in the role, in order to ensure continuity of leadership for the Civil Service over the period before and after the Scottish elections next May. That continuity will also assist in the process of responding to the hugely challenging financial position faced by the Scottish public sector in coming years. John has set a new standard of leadership to emulate in these tough times ahead.
“I am delighted Peter Housden has been appointed Permanent Secretary to the Scottish Government. The responsibility for leading Civil Service support for the Scottish Government has clearly become one of the most demanding Permanent Secretary roles.
“It is a great advantage that Peter Housden will bring five years experience as a Permanent Secretary to the role. In giving my agreement to the appointment, I have been impressed by his knowledge of the exciting progress which has been made in Scotland’s approach to government and his enthusiasm for building on that.”
Head of the Civil Service, Sir Gus O’Donnell said:
“I would like to extend my good wishes to John Elvidge on his retirement from the Scottish Government. He has been an excellent and loyal permanent secretary, and I’m grateful for all he has done in Scotland, in particular, his support to two Scottish Governments through seven years of Scotland’s development of devolution. I am also very grateful for his contribution to the leadership of the Civil Service.”


Environmentalists will ask the Oil Conservation Commission to put a stop to further drilling in northern New Mexico.
According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, Hilcorp Energy Co. is petitioning to change the drilling rules that govern land in San Juan and Rio Arriba counties.
If approved, the petition would allow companies to double the number of wells in operation.
Hilcorp says the move would spur economic development in the region, but opponents claim doubling the number of wells, would be detrimental as the area is already experiencing a methane overload.
The issue will be heard before the Oil Conservation Commission Thursday in Santa Fe.


SEEND Community Land Trust project to build ten affordable houses in the Seend Cleeve site is pushing ahead.
The trust is a Community Interest Company (CIC) that has worked in partnership with the affordable housing association, White Horse Housing, and the community housing hub, Homes of Our Own, in order to build ten affordable new homes in the village.
A Wiltshire Council report explains, “It has been a long road to get to this point. Seend CLT formed in 2017, gaining a legal status of a CIC in 2018. They undertook a search and assessment of the land in the Parish and were presented with an opportunity at Park Farm, Seend Cleeve.
“Talks, negotiations, community consultation and planning applications have all now led to this point. As with many CLTs the housing association (White Horse Housing) actually bought the land. They then sold it to Seend CLT for £1 on condition of a legal agreement that it will be leased back to White Horse Housing on a 999-year lease. Working in this way means that the Seend has the ownership it needs and that the housing will remain affordable in perpetuity. The site could not have been brought forward without the work of the CLT.”
George Clarke, Chair of Seend CLT said, “This is a really significant step on the road to providing affordable homes in Seend. We couldn’t have got here without the support of ‘Homes of Our Own’ and White Horse Housing Association, I’m really looking forward to seeing this development completed and occupied.
“The next steps are now to tender for a developer to construct the site which is being designed by PK Architects to Passivhaus standards with them hoping to start on site by the end of the year.”
Steve Warran, Chief Executive of White Horse Housing said, “The purchase of the land is a significant step forward in bringing these new homes to reality. All the homes will be built to the highest environmental standards meaning they will be affordable to our residents with minimal impact on the environment. We will now start the process of finding a suitable contractor to undertake the building of this exciting and innovative project”.
The Passivhaus Trust describe Passivhaus buildings as those which “provide a high level of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling. They are built with meticulous attention to detail and rigorous design and construction according to principles developed by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany, and can be certified through an exacting quality assurance process.”

Realtors say the demand for homes is steady. It's just that prices have gotten to a point people can't afford them, no matter how bad they want them, which isn't good news for sellers who've been hitting the jackpot the past few months.
"You kind of have to realize what most people did, that this won't happen forever," said Jonathan Ischinger, Rockingham County House Seller.
Jonathan Ischinger is feeling the effects of home prices heading the opposite direction. His home in Lakewood in Rockingham County has been sitting on the market for a few weeks now.
"We've only had one party come through the home in three weeks. I would never have envisioned that it would be this slow," said Ischinger.
Shocking, since just six months ago this area had homes sold the same day they were first listed.
"It's sort have been surreal; I mean you go on vacation for a week and prices have gone up," said Ischinger.
But the tide seems to be changing.
"A family earning the average salary will not qualify and as far as I know this is the first time we've had that situation her where your typical family cannot afford your typical house. A house that is acceptable to them is not in their price range and when that happens they have no other choice," said Karl Waizecker, ERA Kline & May Realtor.
With the number of buyers still being higher than the number of homes available Waizecker says it's still a sellers market. Ischinger wonders when this may change.
"I think it's still early to say that it's over ya know, but um it will be interesting to see what they say in the next couple of months," said Ischinger.


Dell today unveiled a series of end-to-end storage portfolio updates aimed at further optimising enterprise data at every point of its lifecycle.
The new products were revealed by Darren Thomas, VP and GM, Dell Storage, at the company’s second EMEA Dell Storage Forum, held at the Marriott Rive Gauche Hotel in Paris.
“The nature of IT and what a data centre should do for an organisation is changing rapidly as customers face multiple and often competing models of how technology is delivered – from client to cloud to converged,” Thomas said.
“Dell is best positioned with an end-to-end storage architecture that can optimise data at every point in its lifecycle through intelligence and automation. Dell’s ‘Fluid Data’ architecture enables new capabilities that power the data centre so customers can drive real business benefits.”
The first to take the spotlight was the new PowerVault MD3 software, which offers enhanced data protection, performance, capacity and virtualisation capabilities, and is designed to maintain up to 99.99 percent availability.
The data protection enhancements include dynamic disk pools that simplify disk management and improve rebuild performance by distributing data across all drives, decreasing significant recovery time of drive failures.
In addition to current fibre channel replication capabilities, new IP-based remote asynchronous replication protects against site failures, improves application speeds and increases distance support, Thomas said.
Furthermore, new software application integration and efficiency capabilities include VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) support – which allow customers to offload certain storage related tasks from the server to PowerVault arrays – whilst new thin provisioning capabilities enable arrays to automatically allocate storage as needed for simplified expansion of capacity.
The next update that Thomas unveiled was the Dell Compellent Storage Center 6.3 array software, which offers enhanced scalability and performance for Dell Compellent arrays.
Compellent SC8000 controllers with Storage Center 6.3 software can increase performance up to 100 percent over previous versions when running enterprise workloads, Thomas said.
With this release, Dell also become the first storage provider to announce end-to-end 16GB fibre channel capabilities, which it said doubles bandwidth and speeding access to business critical applications and data.
Designed for medium to large enterprises and cloud computing, Dell Compellent arrays offer automated tiering, advanced data protection and increased ease of use, combined with a modular design that enables users to update storage software at no additional cost.
Next on Thomas’ list of announcements was Quest NetVault Backup 9.0 – the new Quest data protection software integrated with NetVault Extended Architecture (NetVault XA). This release features a new graphical user interface and a set of shared services to unite multiple Quest data protection technologies for simpler management.
The software enables mid-to-large sized organisations to simplify data protection while protecting critical applications in physical and virtual heterogeneous environments. NetVault’s cross-platform capabilities are expanded to Windows Server 2012 and Novell Open Enterprise Server 11, while Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V and VMware vSphere enhancements offer improved functionality, performance and scalability.
The penultimate release of the day was the latest result of Dell’s partnership with CommVault. Dell PowerVault DL2300 is a new enterprise-class data protection appliance that combines Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers with CommVault Simpana 9 modern data protection software to provide large enterprises with data backup, recovery, replication, archiving and deduplication for both physical and virtual servers.
The new appliance incorporates latest generation processor and memory capabilities to optimise deduplication database configurations for higher backup performance. Users can also save administrative time with built-in policy-based automation for managing backup and archiving.
Dell’s fifth and final product unveiling of the Forum came in the form of PowerVault DL4000, which is optimised for SMEs and remote offices and is the first backup appliance based on AppAssure software, following its acquisition in February.
The appliance provides a complete backup and disaster recovery solution for business-critical applications and data with seamless integration of software and system management, Dell said.
With 5.5 terabytes of internal storage capacity, the 1U turnkey appliance offers established snapshot, replication, deduplication and compression software for efficient use of backup capacity. Users can benefit from hosting two virtual standby machines that protect critical applications for up to two servers, offering quick disaster recovery, the company added.
The PowerVault MD3 software enhancements and PowerVault DL2300 are available now, whilst Quest NetVault Backup 9.0 is planned for December 2012. Availability for PowerVault DL4000 and beta availability for Compellent Storage Center 6.3 are planned for early 2013.

What did you crave in previous pregnancies and what gender baby did you have?
With my son I craved birthday cake ice cream every night! Everyone thought he would be a girl but nope, all boy! This time I'm craving bagels and fruit flavored cream cheese, chips and salsa. My pregnancies have been very similar (a tiny bit more nauseous this time) so I'm guessing boy #2!

A 1960 V8 F100 was rated at 172hp and 270ft lbs torque from a 292 cubic inch Y block. After 55 years and god only knows how much abuse, if the truck was making 72hp I would have been quite surprised. When I bought it, I didn’t do nearly the inspection that I should have. It ran, and drove, mostly, and after ignoring several tell-tale signs of issues I fell in love and decided with my heart rather than my head. Two months later when it was finally in my driveway and I actually had some time to inspect my new toy and I realized just how dumb I really was. It was advertised as a 292 Y block, and after crawling on top of the block, standing on my head, and reciting several incantations using several four letter words, I was finally able to make out the block casting numbers. After looking up said casting numbers, I discovered I didn’t have a 1960 292 Y block, instead I had a 1957 272 motor. So much for numbers matching and having the original block, but hey it runs and drives so I can’t be that bad off right? Wrong… I continued looking over my new prize and realized that not having the original engine wasn’t my only problem, the flywheel was missing its lower dust cover, and the teeth on the wheel looked like they had been used to grind rocks. Sadly these were still not my only issues, not even close.
Since I knew I was dealing with a rebuilt motor, I started looking for desirable part numbers that would indicate performance parts and found I had actually did have the desirable 4 barrel 57 intake (makes sense given the 57 block) but I found no other performance parts. Instead I was rewarded with a lovely chocolate milk colored stain on the passenger side of the block, which is pretty indicative that the truck had blown a head gasket at some point. How I missed such a stain in the initial inspection I’ll never know, but it makes for a pretty good argument that love is deaf, dumb, and blind. I still had the original seller’s number, I shot him a quick text asking if the truck ever overheated on him. He said it had once, but after he flushed the cooling system he had not had any more issues. I still wasn’t sure if the head gasket was blown, but a friend of mine suggested I start by tuning the carb and checking the timing, to see why the truck was so down on power.
It was was an excellent call on his part. He stopped by after work on a fall night and as the light quickly failed us, I stood there in the dark and half frozen holding a flashlight as he checked the timing. I don’t recall just how badly the timing was jacked up, but I do remember us both being surprised the poor girl ran at all. Yep, love is definitely blind. Once we adjusted the timing and the carb a bit, the motor sounded much happier, she roared to life with a renewed vigor and resolution to cling to what life she had left. It really was a night and day transformation. This reaffirmed my love, as well as my blind spot for the old girl, and I resigned myself to finding the parts needed to bring her back to her former glory. But the first thing I needed though was to learn to drive her properly.
Around this time another friend of mine who restores cars called me up because he had a used Thunderbird 312 motor for sale (with the lovely Thunderbird valve covers) for 1200 bucks. It was a steal of a deal and I should have bought it, as it would have saved me a lot of money later on, but hey, my motor ran great now so what do I need another one for? In retrospect the delusions that everything with the truck was going to be just fine were adorable. In reality I had simply sold myself on a fantasy so good, Disney would be jealous. Back to learning to drive the truck though. I started by driving it in loops around my neighborhood and after making my neighbors think I had finally lost my mind, I finally started to feel comfortable and had that damn 2nd to 3rd gear shift down. I then worked my way out onto the public roads and the highway. Classic cars are a funny thing as it’s ridiculously easy to get registration for a vehicle that has no working speedometer, no gas gauge, a braking system designed at the end of world war two, no seat belts, and steering worm gear with about 4 inches of play. You just show up, provide the title and they give you plates. Granted there are restrictions on use, but I have never seen them truly enforced.
As I began to get more comfortable driving the truck I realized just how little you need working gauges or a radio. Sure seat belts would be nice…but hey, this isn’t a Bentley. I have driven a range of good and bad cars over the years, some so bad that they shouldn’t be anywhere near public roads, but this truck took the cake. It’s not that it was bad, it’s just that 1960’s tech doesn’t hold up well in 2015. 4 wheel drum brakes, and the football field of space needed to stop from 50, just doesn’t cut it when some soccer mom in her VW Routan cuts you off with no signal because little Jimmy is late for practice. The funny thing about the truck though is that I really liked how bad it was. Driving it was hard, and driving it well was even harder. Driving it well in some of the worst traffic in the nation was one of the hardest things I have ever done. This truck forces you to be aware of everything around you. There is no texting and driving in this thing, there is no distracted driving, vehicles like this demand your attention 100%, as they should, because driving should be challenging and rewarding. Its’ that rewarding feeling that I kept reminding myself of when I realized the truck was suddenly missing several gallons of coolant…
