The 1,700-acre development includes elegant Tuscan- and Napa-style homes, 13 catch-and-release fly-fishing lakes, Cantera stone pathways, hand-stacked lava rock boundary walls, bridle paths and miles of Crooked River riverfront.
But it’s fallen on tough economic times, much like Montana’s Yellowstone Club and Idaho’s Tamarack Resort. It could change hands at a Nov. 14 silent auction for a mere $2.3 million.
That’s quite a come-down from the original proposal in the 1990s for a destination resort and golf course that drew signs and bumper stickers demanding: “Save Smith Rock.”
Locals rarely mention Ranch at the Canyons these days and aren’t affected by the development, said Terrebonne farmer Albert Rollins. Around town, “it’s just business as usual,” he said.
“We don’t see the homeowners so much as we do the maintenance people,” said Terrebonne Hardware owner Roger Ferguson.
Before the real estate crunch, 23 of Ranch at the Canyon’s 52 home sites sold, bringing an average $900,000 per lot, with several lots commanding $1.3 million, said John Rosenthal, owner of Realty Marketing/Northwest of Portland. Eight homes have been built and one is under construction.
Now, the highest bidder will claim the remaining home sites plus a controlling interest in ranch management, including a Tuscan horse stable and a 7,000-square-foot winery-clubhouse-spa.
The corporate owner, Canyons Land and Cattle Co. LLC’s asking price is “a significant value” and a dramatic drop from the previous $4.8 million price tag, not to mention the original investment, Rosenthal said.
While people aren’t rejoicing at the ranch’s financial troubles, some remain uneasy at the conspicuous consumption represented by the gates, walls and huge homes nudging up against the place where American sport climbing came into its own.
Smith Rock erupted into the national consciousness almost 30 years ago as climbers here developed new techniques and equipment that made previously unnavigable vertical rock faces accessible and safer. A Newsweek magazine cover photo in July 1993 featured Oregon climber Bill Soule on a Smith Rock route called Chain Reaction. The once-unknown formation had made an impossible leap from rural obscurity to world renown.
“Smith Rock had the hardest rock climbs in the United States and the world,” recalled Alan Watts, a Bend climber who began roping up and doing technical climbs here at age 14. Now 52, he pioneered many now-famous Smith Rock routes and wrote two well-known guidebooks.
Ranch at Canyons’ gated entryway prevents everybody but its residents from enjoying the panorama presented by Smith Rock from the west side of the Crooked River, Watts said. That’s like denying public access to the Yosemite Valley, he said.
“The view is amazing, but you can’t get anywhere close,” Watts said. “It’s a view that you essentially have to buy. Only the very wealthy can have that view.”
Homeowners at the ranch typically live on both coasts, have houses elsewhere and come here for holidays, said Rosenthal, who is overseeing the auction. “A couple of people live here full-time, and that’s it,” he said.
The scale of the ranch — situated just south of a 600-acre spread owned by Nike chairman Phil Knight — rankles other climbers.
“McMansions … They are gorgeous houses, but it’s also over-indulgence,” said Eric Bostard, owner of Redpoint Climbers Supply in Terrebonne.
Yet ranch manager Kerry Damon points to the park-like site’s tranquility and privacy and notes its sense of history.
Archaeological evidence shows the Northern Paiute tribe camped here before the white European invasion, Damon said. To the Paiutes, the stone formations on Smith Rock resembled bears, chipmunks and squirrels, he said.
“Within their legends, this was called the land of the animals,” Damon said.
And there is a possibility that members of the public could gain entry into the ranch.
A new owner of Ranch at the Canyons could build a “boutique” guest ranch — which already has land-use approval — on the grounds. The Manchester, Vt.-based Orvis Co. also brings anglers to the ranch from time to time to fish the lakes.
“It’s one of the most spectacular properties in the state of Oregon,” Rosenthal said.

Jeremy Corbyn is to propose a democratic revolution in the Labour party that would give its mass membership a role in both electing his top team and shaping party policy. With a comprehensive victory in the leadership contest next weekend looking increasingly likely, the Labour leader is now planning the next phase of a radical remaking of the party into a democratic social movement.
It is understood that Corbyn will suggest that members should be allowed to elect some shadow cabinet ministers, and have a direct say in policymaking through “digital consultations”.
In what will be presented as a conciliatory move to unify the party, one proposal is that a third of shadow cabinet posts are elected by the parliamentary party, another third by the leader and a final third by members. A source said: “These things are open to discussion”.
The winner of the leadership contest will be announced on Saturday at a special conference in Liverpool. A source close to Corbyn said: “I would be disappointed if we did not beat last year’s figure and get closer to 65% or even better.”
The idea of involving the membership in shadow cabinet elections is a rebuff to the deputy leader, Tom Watson, who is due to present a motion to Labour’s governing body, the NEC, on Tuesday in favour of bringing back the system under which MPs alone have a vote.
However, it is understood Watson recognises that the changes being suggested by the leader could represent “an exciting new era in British politics” under which for the first time frontbenchers would be delegates and not representatives of the membership. The changes, Watson believes, would ensure that Labour will look more like Syriza in Greece than the traditional party of the unions and deliver “a new era of digital democracy”, according to one source. “If proposed by Jeremy on Tuesday, he will consider them deeply,” the source said.
It is understood that some MPs also believe there is a case for the membership to be the sole electorate of the front-bench to ensure shadow cabinet ministers have an equal standing.
Corbyn said he wanted to “push forward democracy in our party at every level”. “Whoever wins the leadership election has the right to call on support from the Labour party at all levels, including in parliament,” he said. “If Labour party members re-elect me, that will be my second mandate in a year, from a hugely increased membership. It’s right that we’ll be discussing elections to the shadow cabinet at the national executive committee this week, as well as who might take part in those elections, and how to ensure proper representation of the regions, nations, gender and ethnicity. Democratisation of the party and the country is central to my agenda for change.”
A source close to the Labour leader said that they were not presenting the changes on a take-it-or-leave-it basis, but hoped to spur a discussion at the NEC early this week – a date dubbed by one campaigner as “Super Tuesday”.
A second source said: “The whole question is how to make the party more participatory. It is part of a wider agenda of democratising the party. Before the vote on whether to bomb Syria in November last year the party held a digital consultation of members. That is the kind of approach we can build on.”
At last Tuesday’s meeting of the shadow cabinet, several members, including the chief whip, Rosie Winterton, spoke in support of returning to a system, abolished by Ed Miliband, under which the parliamentary party elects most members of the shadow cabinet, with the rest being appointed by the leader. Winterton said she believed such a change would help restore unity between the leader and his MPs and would encourage many who had resigned in June to return to the fold.
However, a move instead to give the mass membership a role both in shadow cabinet elections and over policy will be seen by many elected members not as a peace offering but as a sign of Corbyn’s determination to marginalise his MPs and put power in the hands of ordinary members. While the question of whether to rejoin the frontbench should Corbyn win is a live one in the party – described by some as a choice of whether to “sulk or serve” – a move to give the membership a vote in shadow cabinet elections was dismissed as “unacceptable” by one of the shadow cabinet ministers who resigned in June, who added: “Two-thirds of the shadow cabinet would be his people – this isn’t a way to bring the party back together.”
A second serving shadow cabinet minister rejected the plan to allow the membership a say as a “recipe for chaos” for which there was no appetite outside the leader’s office.
A member of the NEC said that the plans would provoke a massive row on Tuesday: “It is about Jeremy’s determination to boost his power base.”

Instrumentation products in the petrochemical industry mainly include different types of flow meters, pressure transmitters, liquid level meters, temperature meters, analytical meters, etc. The measurement of oil is performed at the refinery, while the measurement of refined oil is performed when leaving the refinery. Refined oils are volatile products, so it is important to know how much oil has been delivered at many metering stations along the pipeline. The same process applies to natural gas. Therefore, the flow measurement of crude oil and natural gas products by using the instrument used to measure pressure of gas plays an important role in the petroleum industry. At present, the flowmeter market is highly competitive. The main types of flowmeters are turbine flowmeters, volumetric (PD) flowmeters, differential pressure (DP) flowmeters, Coriolis flowmeters and ultrasonic flowmeters.
The petroleum, natural gas and petrochemical industries have high requirements for material / liquid level measurement instruments. In addition to the traditional technology types of instruments such as differential pressure, radar, magnetostrictive, magnetic flap and other types of instruments are also widely used. The oil and gas industry is also an important industry for the growth of material/level gas and oil transducer instruments in recent years. With the improvement of industrial technology in China's oil production and transportation, some emerging high-end material/level products will be applied in this industry, such as float type level transmitter.

A driver making a right on to Wilson can not see people in the crosswalk due to the construction barrier. The crosswalk is placed out of sight of the driver, making them unaware if pedestrians are already crossing. The pedestrian walk way in which people emerge is only made worse by the fact that the Builder's advertisements create a 'tunnel' effect in the sidewalk, limiting views both in and out.

Mark Miller tells us 3 key lessons to learn when selling your business.
Your business has attracted a potential investor who wants to acquire your company. It’s an exciting proposition, but how do you know if you’re making the right decision?
According to Mark Miller, life-long entrepreneur and veteran television pro who said ‘yes’ and sold to a suitor — it’s about more than money. Miller has produced some incredibly successful hit TV shows that we’ve all watched and loved. So why would he sell the company he’s worked so hard at building up from scratch?
“When you sell the company you created, you’re selling a piece of yourself,” says Miller. “So don’t get blinded by money – stay true to what’s important to you.
“The key is to look beyond the bottom line, and think about three things: trust, respect and shared cultural values.”
If you’re in the same boat and faced with a difficult decision whether to sell or hold onto your company, these words of wisdom can guide you on a smoother journey.
The birth of a hit television production company
Miller has been making television for decades, but we all start somewhere.
He first made a name for himself as a reporter, then segued into making documentaries for Discovery Channel — and from there, Miller hasn’t looked back.
After working on his own for a number of years, Miller realized that to grow his business he needed a partner. And with that in mind, he founded Great Pacific Television in 2010 with Blair Reekie.
“Blair and I realized we were a great fit,” explains Miller. “I knew a lot about factual television and ‘men’s TV’ and Blair had a lot of successful lifestyle shows under his belt. We complimented each other really well in terms of our skills and experience. Blair had been running a production company called The Eyes, and I’d worked with him a lot and gotten to know him well. So there was a real sense of mutual respect and trust there.”
Working from an office above an auto repair shop in Burnaby, BC, the two quickly built an impressive slate of shows like Highway Thru Hell and Airshow on Discovery, The Mistress on Slice and Game of Homes on W Network. They had acquired some of The Eyes’ assets to help get them started, and then worked hard to find new business.
“We were doing great, and always had a couple of series on the go – me bringing in the factual shows and Blair bringing in the lifestyle shows,” says Miller.
Three years in, with dozens of people working for them, the company was a growing competitor with a promising future. It was at that point Miller and Reekie found themselves in a situation familiar to many small business owners. On the cusp of even greater growth, they needed capital to reach the next level.
Finding financing and selling the company
“We had self-financed all of our shows up to that point,” explains Miller, “but there’s only so many mortgages you can take out. So we had a choice: go to the banks or bring in an investor.”
So in 2014 they sold Great Pacific to Thunderbird, a large Vancouver-based production company. Miller says he and Reekie both thought long and hard about it, and are incredibly happy with the decision they made.
“Thunderbird was the right fit for us for a number of reasons. They were interested in building a factual division, and realized it made more sense for them to buy a growing company than to launch their own. We needed access to greater capital in order to grow.”
As Miller points out, acquisitions built on this kind of mutual need can offer big payoffs.
“Being acquired can give a growing company the tools and capital needed to reach their full potential sooner than they could on their own,” explains Miller. “It increases the company’s credibility in the marketplace, and the buyer can introduce them to new clients operating at a level they didn’t have access to before. And for the buyer – well, the benefits are obvious: they’re getting a growing company that they can help turn into an even greater success.”
But for Miller, the one factor that mattered most wasn’t money. It was shared values.
Under Thunderbird, Miller still remains at the helm of Great Pacific Media, and these shared can make all the difference when it comes to building a solid working relationship.
“When you sell your company, you have to ask yourself, ‘How will your corporate culture change? How will this affect your employees? Will the people who buy you dictate how you do your job?’”
That’s a critical set of questions for founders to ask themselves – and their corporate suitors – before signing any deal. After all, the success of a small company is often rooted in the style and culture set by its owners. So if a big company comes in and wants to make too many changes, that could ruin a good thing.
Fortunately for Miller and Reekie, they had nothing to fear.
“We knew Thunderbird well, and we could trust them. Blair had worked at The Eyes with Tim Gamble, the CEO of Thunderbird, and they had a fantastic relationship. True to their word, they have left us to run our part of the business the way we need to, and we’ve found that our corporate styles really complement each other.”
Words of wisdom: Trust your instincts
For a business owner thinking of selling, Miller’s main advice is to trust your gut.
“If you’re worried about what to watch out for, or how they’re going to screw you over, then you shouldn’t be doing the deal. You can write in all the clauses you want, but at the end of the day you have to trust each other, respect each other and make sure you want the same thing.”
Miller also encourages people to think about why they’re selling, and how it will affect you.
“Don’t do it if it will be a big change for you, and if it won’t let you do what you love to do. Don’t do it just to cash out. If you do it wrong, you might find that it changes your job for the negative — and that could leave you feeling very disappointed and very lonely within your own company.”

Redrum Base. Bill Kerman stands on the surface of the frozen kethane lake. He used to be well known. He was the first kerbal to set foot on the mun. But management wasn't happy with his attitude so he ended up here. Alone. Counting the days. And nights.
Jebediah wanted his old wingman back. Word was sent to go get Bill from Minmus.
Dancer in the skies
The Dancer was built for intermunar travel, but hopefully the fuel will be enough for a trip to Minmus.
The Dancer drifts on the edge of Kerbin sphere of influence. The planet is baerly visible from out here.
Brake and land
Minmus orbit achieved. The lander vessel is released.
The lander is a very able spacecraft and it makes the orbital corrections perfectly.
Redrum base was on the night time side of the moon at the time of landing.
The last few meters are the hardest. Minmus gravity is so low that overbraking will send the lander back into orbit.
Tictac has landed.
No time to waste
- Bill, this is Tictac. Do you read me?
- We landed a few clicks away from you. Better wait for the morning. It could be dangerous to drive in low grav without lights.
- Negative. I'm already on my way...

David and Louse Turpin are scheduled to appear in a courtroom in Riverside for a conference about their case.
They have pleaded not guilty to torture and other charges and each is held on 12 million US dollars (£8.6 million) bail.
The couple were arrested in January after their 17-year-old daughter escaped from the family's home in Perris, California, and called emergency services.
Authorities said the home reeked of human waste and evidence of starvation was obvious, with the oldest sibling weighing less than six stone (37kg).
The case drew international media attention and shocked neighbours who said they rarely saw the couple's 13 children outside the home.
Those who saw the children recalled them as skinny, pale and reserved.
Authorities said the abuse had been going on for so long that the children's growth was stunted.
They said the couple shackled the children to furniture as punishment and made them live a nocturnal lifestyle.
David's parents, James and Betty Turpin, told ABC News they were "surprised and shocked" by the allegations and could understand "any of it".
They said that they are considered to be a good Christian family in their community and that added that "God called on them" to have as many children as they did.
The pair also said their grandchildren had "very strict homeschooling," and they would memorise long passages of the Bible, some of them aimed to learn the entire Bible.
The courtroom conference is expected to focus on date-setting and other procedural issues.
The district attorney's office has drafted an amended complaint but it has yet to be filed in court, officials said.
It was not immediately clear where the children, who range in age from two to 29, are now.
They were taken to hospital immediately after their rescue but since then county authorities have declined to discuss their whereabouts or condition.
Riverside County has obtained a temporary guardianship for the seven adult siblings, who declined to speak to reporters through their lawyers.
"Our clients need time, space, and privacy while they receive services and begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives," said Caleb Mason, a lawyer for the siblings.

THIS alleged bike thief in Delta was not only riding a stolen bike, but he was also carrying a stolen bike.
And he would probably have got away with them, but for the fact that he was not wearing a helmet.
On Wednesday, a North Delta Secondary student approached a Delta Police school liaison officer to report that a bike he’d locked to the fence at the school the previous day had been stolen.
Through investigation, Delta Police determined a potential suspect and ensured that information was circulated in the department.
The next day, Delta Police’s Patrol Support Team, a team that supplements the work of the frontline officers, noted a man near the high school who was riding a bike without a helmet on, while carrying another bike. Police stopped the man to speak with him about not wearing a helmet.
Police pointed out to him that the ticket for not wearing a helmet was the same as the cost of purchasing a helmet from the store.
While speaking with the man, officers were able to identify him, and noted that he appeared to be in violation of a number of court ordered conditions. Officers then determined that the bike which the man was riding was confirmed to be stolen the previous day from near the high school. The man was then arrested for possession of stolen property.
Terry Lee Pipe, 43, of Surrey has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime, as well as three counts of failing to comply with court ordered conditions. He is considered known to police.
The bike that the suspect was carrying was also found to be stolen and police are trying to find its owner.
Delta Police public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said: “However, we’re happy to report that the bike stolen from the NDS student has been returned to its owner who proclaimed, “Thank you this is the best day ever!””
If you believe you are the owner or know the owner of the recovered bike, contact Delta Police at 604-946-4411 and refer to file 19-11965.

Anne Arundel County officers used force in 1.3 percent of incidents in 2014, according to data provided by the department during a town hall Tuesday night.
"When we put this badge on we agree to be everyone's advocate equally," Police Chief Timothy Altomare told an audience of about 50 at Glen Burnie High School.
The meeting was held to build community relations, and comes a week after anti-police graffiti was spray-painted in Brooklyn Park, and a week before a town hall in Annapolis with the city's police department.
County Executive Steve Schuh said public safety is among one of the most important functions of government. He went on to say the county will be adding 185 new police vehicles to the fleet, as well as constructing a new police academy and central booking facility.
"And all of those things are just physical assets, they are not what makes a police department go," he said. "What makes the police department go is the people."
A panel of eight spoke on various topics, including how officers are held accountable for complaints, the acceptable uses of force, policy and the role of the State's Attorney's Office.
The panel consisted of Altomare; Deputy Chief Jerard Flemings; State's Attorney Wes Adams; the Rev. Carletta Allen; the Rev. Stephen Tillett, president of the county NAACP; Carl Brooks, president of the Northern District Police Relations Council; Phyllis McDonald, a Johns Hopkins professor who works with local public safety agencies; and Bascom Talley, a senior staff member at Johns Hopkins University's Division of Public Safety Leadership.
Every incident of use of force is required to be reported, Flemings said. In 2012, Anne Arundel County officers used force in 1.3 percent of incidents, he said. In the following year the statistic was 1.5 percent.
The meeting was held just a week after graffiti that said "Killing AAC Cops Coming Soon" and "Kill Cops" was discovered. Zachary Adam Shanor, 26, of Camrose Avenue, was charged with six counts of malicious destruction of property in relation to the incident.
The Annapolis town hall is being organized by the Caucus of African American Leaders, the county NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union. The meeting is Oct. 14 about alleged racism and the Annapolis police. The event is open to the public and will be held at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
The meeting will feature a five-member panel that will take sworn witness testimony about not only people who work or have worked in the organization, but residents who have come in contact with police. The panel will submit recommendations based on the testimony.
Town halls have been organized around the country in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, last year and Freddie Gray's death in Baltimore on April 19.
At the beginning of Altomare's tenure, he said he wanted to restore the community's trust in the police and hopes to bring back programs that help foster positive relationships, such as "Police and Community Together" officers and youth activities.
The meeting was one of a series. Three more are scheduled to come for each district.


One of the most intuitively appealing arguments for ensuring that everyone has health insurance is the claim that uninsured patients crowd emergency rooms but don’t pay their bills. Hospitals present these bills to government, and taxpayers end up paying. In fact, that cost is a trivial share of health spending.
Another myth is that emergency departments are cost centers. In fact, they are profit centers. And Obamacare will increase their profits significantly.

Much of Upstate New York is bracing for some snow.
Forecasters say a cold air mass from Canada could dump three to six inches of snow on the Albany area by Tuesday, and the National Weather Service in Binghamton has announced a winter weather advisory for Monday night.
The Albany region has already broken the record for latest start of the season’s snowfall, which was last set on Dec. 24 in 1912.
A mix of sleet, freezing rain, snow and gusting winds is expected along the Southern Tier, in the Catskills and Finger Lakes region, and the greater Syracuse area.
The wintry mix is expected to develop Monday evening, change to freezing rain early Tuesday morning, then rain by early Tuesday afternoon.
Travel is expected to become hazardous, and sporadic power outages are possible.

Post # 1
I have a session with my photographer this weekend for a post wedding shoot. It is part rock the dress, part additional wedding photos as my wedding plan was slightly altered by Hurricane Irene, and we didn’t get as much time for photos as originally planned. I’m a little torn on the plan for this and would love suggestions from people who’ve done post wedding sessions.
- Wear my red qipao (Chinese wedding dress) because I didn’t get a chance to do pictures in it at the wedding
- Wear my wedding dress because rock the dress / trash the dress pictures are awesome and only a white wedding dress will have that effect
- Try to squeeze in both outfits into a 3 hour shoot (seems difficult because I’ll have to lug the other dress around with me and then find a place to change)
Post # 3
3 hours is a long time, can you find somebody to tag along and help you with holding it? I’m sure you can find somewhere that will let you do a quick change–maybe do wedding dress first, people will be amused to let a lady in a wedding dress change her clothes rather than annoyed 🙂
Post # 4
@FruitLoops: I vote option 3! You obviously got the qipao because you wanted do something traditional and it meant something to you and your family and/or his family, so it’d be a shame to not take pictures in it! Three hours is plenty of time. Like PP said, maybe bring a friend and have them be there to help with carrying around/changing into the other dress?
It’s ultimately up to you, but you’d hate to look back and regret not having pictures of you in the Chinese wedding dress..
Post # 5
Do both! I think you’ll have enough time. Maybe do the qipao pics first and lug along your wedding dress (since it’ll be trashed anyway). And come back and show pics!
Post # 6
@MissPine: i totally agree! do the red dress ones first, then trash the white one! it’ll be a fun way to end the shoot, too! 🙂

I got into Against Me! by word-of-mouth...I kept hearing from people with good taste that they were a great band, so I checked them out. At the time those people were right. I bought their first 2 albums, and by the time I'd absorbed them they released this album & came through on tour. They played with passion and joy, the entire crowd sang along enthusiastically to every song, and it was one of the most enjoyable shows I've been to.
Too bad they had to kill my love for them by reco"
Sometimes whenever I'm watching a movie, lines from this song run through my head: "So many possibilities for this to all end badly/it's almost...guaranteed". Which means I associate this song with unhappy endings, bad situations, and unfortunate circumstances.


I took it last year with out the offset sight. It’s fine without. Better with, there’s some techniques for scanning thru rds than rolling the rifle into your eye / scope and engaging.

Nissan's smallest crossover SUV still looks like nothing else on the road with style you'll love or hate, and it prioritizes sporty performance over passenger- and cargo-carrying utility. The 2016 Nissan Juke offers a lot of fun for around $21,000, and is even available in souped-up Nismo RS form that packs 215 horsepower.
You'll Like The 2016 Nissan JUKE If...
If you want a small SUV with zippy performance, wild looks and a price that even a student could afford, put the Juke on your shopping list. The availability of all-wheel drive (AWD) across the line is another plus, as is a manual transmission for driving purists.
You May Not Like The 2016 Nissan JUKE If...
If the ability to accommodate people and gear is more important to you than zippy performance and unconventional appearances, look to the Honda HR-V, Kia Soul, Chevrolet Trax or the larger Nissan Rogue. All have more interior space than the cramped Juke.
Apple-compatible Siri Eyes Free functionality is now standard, and two new "Stinger Edition by Color Studio" models join the line with even more over-the-top color schemes.
The 2016 Nissan Juke's 5-passenger interior is nearly as wild as its exterior. The molded plastic center console mimics a motorcycle’s fuel tank, and the multifunction ventilation controls change to become the Sport/Normal/Eco mode with just the push of a button on models with the nifty I-CON system. It's a lot of fun for the driver and front passenger, but rear-seat passengers will be cramped. Instead, fold down those rear seats to expand the paltry 10.5 cubic feet of cargo space to 35.9 cubic feet, more than enough room for several shopping bags. The steering wheel tilts but doesn't telescope.
For better or worse, the 2016 Nissan Juke looks like nothing else on the road. Try to describe it, and you're bound to bring up an animal descriptor. Is it a frog? An insect? Whatever, a lot of people think it's downright cool. The front end is an outrageous affair with streaking headlight housings, while its rear is nipped and tucked. From the side, the roofline squats as it moves rearward, accented by color-keyed, integrated rear-door handles that give the 5-door Juke a coupe-like appearance. Nismo variants can sport an aerodynamic body kit, while top-line RS versions boast red brake calipers.
With its standard turbocharged engine, tight suspension and quick steering, Nissan’s Juke feels less like a traditional SUV and more like a zippy hatchback. This all adds up to a crossover SUV that's fun to drive on twisty roads and city streets. It's less suited for miles and miles of highway use, so if you need an Interstate traveler you might opt some something bigger, quieter and less twitchy. Thanks to its small engine and low weight, the Juke gets good fuel economy. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) models use a solid rear axle and have notable torque steer under acceleration, but opt for the torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive (AWD) system and you'll get an independent rear suspension and no torque steer. Juke Nismo and Juke Nismo RS models offer a 6-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential on FWD models, while top-line Nismo RS models get more power and improved handling.
The 2016 Nissan Juke has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just over $21,000, a tempting price for a spry, turbocharged crossover SUV with egregious style. That climbs to around $31,000 for an AWD Juke RS. Newer rivals such as the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Chevy Trax and Fiat 500X are in line with the Juke, while a bare-bones Jeep Renegade undercuts the Nissan, and the more premium Mini Countryman starts around $2,500 more. The Kia Soul is another great alternative that has stylish looks, more space and a starting price $4,000 less than the Juke. The larger Subaru Crosstrek starts slightly higher but packs more room and versatility. Before buying, check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their Juke. The Nissan Juke's residual value is expected to be quite strong, and its 5-Year Cost to Own figure lower than most.
The 2016 Nissan Juke is available in five trims: S, SV, SL, Nismo and Nismo RS. The least expensive Juke S still comes nicely equipped with push-button start, rearview camera, AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with 5-inch color display and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, Siri Eyes Free compatibility, continuously variable transmission (CVT) and expected amenities like air conditioning and power windows. For roughly $2,000 more, we recommend the Nissan Juke SV trim, which adds the nifty I-CON climate/drive-setting controls, power moonroof, premium cloth seating, rear privacy glass, leather-wrapped steering wheel and automatic climate control.
Climbing to the SL trim adds leather seating, larger 5.8-inch display with navigation and voice recognition, a pounding Rockford Fosgate audio system, heated front seats, automatic headlights and Nissan's impressive AroundView bird's-eye rearview monitor. The Juke Nismo gets sport tuning for better handling, 18-inch wheels, a unique front grille and synthetic suede seat trim, while the top-line Juke Nismo RS packs a more powerful engine, Recaro front bucket seats and Nismo-specific exhaust and brakes. Cold Weather and Tech packages are available for SV models. The "Color Studio" program for SV variants allows the choice of vibrant color schemes.
I-CON (INTEGRATED CONTROL) SYSTEM INTERFACE
The I-CON display, standard on all but base models, allows the driver to toggle functions in an unexpected and impressive way. With the ability to seamlessly switch its button readout, the same display is used for climate control and "D-mode" adaptive throttle settings. It looks pretty cool, too.
INTELLIGENT AWD WITH TORQUE VECTORING
While Nissan's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is good for enhanced traction in foul weather, it's just as good for improving handling on dry pavement, and should be a must-get for those looking for the ultimate in cornering from their compact SUV.
Under the Hood
Two engines are available for the 2016 Nissan Juke. The standard-issue engine is a 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 188 horsepower; it's in all Juke models except the Nismo RS. The top-line Juke Nismo RS gets a more powerful version of the same engine, offering 215 horsepower with the manual transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), or 211 with the automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). In standard Jukes, the CVT automatic includes an S-mode that serves up six "virtual" gears, simulating gear changes; seven in the Juke Nismo, and eight in the Juke RS. The Juke is quite fuel-efficient, but Nissan recommends feeding it pricier premium unleaded gasoline.
1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4
188 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
177 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000-5,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 28/32 mpg (FWD, automatic), 26/31 mpg (AWD, automatic)
1.6-liter turbocharged inline-4 (Nismo RS)
215 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm (FWD, manual)
211 horsepower @ 2,000 (AWD, automatic)
210 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600-4,800 rpm (FWD, manual)
184 lb-ft of torque @ 2,400-6,000 rpm (AWD, automatic)
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/31 mpg (FWD, manual), 25/29 mpg (AWD, automatic)
When it debuted five years ago, the Nissan Juke was ahead of its time – a subcompact- crossover SUV with sporty ambitions and high style that stood out in a sea of larger, blander SUVs. Nowadays the subcompact-crossover SUV segment is booming with fresh arrivals like the Mazda CX-3, Honda HR-V, Chevy Trax, Fiat 500X and the Jeep Renegade. But to its credit, the Juke continues to zig where others zag. Nissan's smallest crossover SUV still looks like nothing else on the road with style you'll love or hate, and it prioritizes sporty performance over passenger- and cargo-carrying utility. The 2016 Juke offers a lot of fun for around $21,000, and is even available in souped-up Nismo RS form that packs 215 horsepower.


Wynn Resorts has confirmed it will not be taking part in Japan’s IR bid in Yokohama, but the operator is still looking at other Japanese markets.
The company said: “Wynn Resorts continues to closely monitor the integrated resort situation in Japan and views the country as a strong potential market.”
Wynn Resorts previously pursued Osaka then switched its sights to Yokohama as a focal point of its endeavors in Japan; however, the pandemic pushed back IR plans and Wynn Resorts also experienced heavy financial losses.
The operator announced the closure of its Yokohama office in August, attributing this to global concerns and stating an IR was not the best strategy for Wynn Resorts at that moment, but adding: “It doesn’t mean we’re not interested in the market, it just means right now, it’s not a focus for our company.”
Wynn Resorts’ current share price sits at $108.43, rising around 8% in the past week.
Following a tough 2020 for the operator, with share value plummeting to around $40 in March, Wynn Resorts has been trading at around the $100 mark since December.

Over the past year, Bitcoin has seen its value increase by 1,000 per cent, so its perhaps unsurprising that its become an attractive target for hackers. In a process called cryptojacking, cyber criminals are taking over networks and computers to put them to use in mining the cryptocurrency and others like it. Among recent high profile targets was a public Wi-fi at a Starbucks, where suspicious code was found that turned visitors’ devices into money makers for crooks. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’VE BEEN HIT? Cryptojacking is defined as the secret use of your computing device to mine cryptocurrency. It used to only happen when a victim unknowingly installed a malware program that covertly mines cryptocurrency.
If the mining is being limited to stay below a certain threshold, you may not even notice it’s happening. But if the mining is not being throttled, you will likely notice some impact on performance. Many users who have been hit notice slower speeds, usually caused by a drain on their CPU. You may also notice cooling fans on laptops and desktops whirring up to high speed to compensate for the jump in activity.
Noah Dinkin, chief executive of email provider Stensul, raised the alarm after visiting one of the coffee shop’s franchises in Buenos Aires. He discovered that anyone who connected to the store’s hotspot was at risk of having their gadgets put to work mining Monero, another digital currency. Starbucks was quick to respond and took action with a third party Wi-fi supplier to remove the malicious code. A spokesman said: ‘We want to ensure that our customers are able to search the internet over Wi-Fi securely, so we will always work closely with our service provider when something like this comes up. We don’t have any concern that this is widespread across any of our stores.
Cyber-security experts say they have seen a spike in cryptojacking, which can slow down your computer, in recent months. It used to only happen when a victim unknowingly installed a malware program designed for the task. Among high profile targets was a public Wi-fi at a Starbucks, where suspicious code was found that turned visitors’ devices into money makers for crooks. Starbucks is by no means the only firm to be affected by the issue, with numerous companies and home users believed to be infected. Cryptocurrency miners have been found running on websites owned by Showtime, the Pirate Bay, Politifact and the UFC. Almost one billion visitors to the four popular video sites each month are being unknowingly mining cryptocurrency, the firm says. In September, cryptocurrency miners were found running on websites owned by Showtime, the Pirate Bay, Politifact and the UFC.
Cryptojacking is defined as the secret use of your computing device by hackers to mine cryptocurrency. In a blog post, Andrey Meshkov, co-founder of the company, said: ‘We came across several very popular websites that secretly use the resources of users’ devices for cryptocurrency mining.

“Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”- Katy Perry
Friday was easily the most highly anticipated day of the week long before aspiring tween singer and YouTube sensation Rebecca Black entered our consciousness. But her unintentional hit about how “fun, fun, fun” it is to choose a seat in a car on Fridays cemented the day’s place as the ideal of the week. Last summer’s “California Gurls” chart dominator Katy Perry capitalized on the Friday frenzy with her latest song about a debaucherous evening of boozing, skinny-dipping, and arrest-warrant issuing. The music video features Perry’s nerdy, brace-faced alter ego, Kathy Beth Terry, and some serious pop culture heavyweights of the ‘80s, ‘90s and today—including two Glee stars, Hanson, Corey Feldman, Debbie Gibson, and even Rebecca Black herself. “We so excited,” indeed.
“Give Me Everything”- Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
Considering Pitbull has been featured on tracks from nearly every rapper and R&B singer imaginable at the moment (Jennifer Lopez, Usher, T-Pain, Lil Jon and Enrique Iglesias, to name a few), it was about time he got some of the credit. The Cuban-American rapper takes the spotlight on this summer’s hit “Give Me Everything.” Its clap-inducing beats and simplistic message (“Tonight, let’s enjoy life”) are the perfect recipe for a pop hit. Pitbull is sitting pretty at No. 1 on the Billboard 100 this week.
“The Lazy Song”- Bruno Mars
Old-school romantic Bruno Mars caught the country’s attention in recent years with “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade.” But the Hawaii-raised singer-songwriter is apparently tired of the all the wooing, as his current smash “The Lazy Song” describes. In the song, Mars poetically croons about kicking his feet up, watching TV, walking around naked, and getting laid. Combining his coach-potato themes with references to the Snuggie and the dougie, the 25-year-old Grammy-nominated artist proves his relatability and provides the perfect background music for a weekend road trip or a happy-hour meetup.
“Party Rock Anthem”- LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock
This electro hip-hop uncle-nephew duo hasn’t tried to disguise their intentions—their songs (notably ““I’m in Miami Bitch” and “Shots”) are unapologetically about girls, drinks, and more girls, just as their moniker—which stands for Laughing My F---ing Ass Off— would indicate. LMFAO’s latest, “Party Rock Anthem,” is perhaps the most blatant club song the group has released yet—and the most successful, according to Billboard. One lyric states: “Yo, I’m runnin’ through these ho’s like Drano. I got that devilish flow, rock ‘n’ roll, no halo.” It’s as catchy as their fros are big and pants are tight.
“Super Bass”- Nicki Minaj featuring Ester Dean
Refreshingly off-beat rapper Nicki Minaj has carved out her own unique position in the music industry, but her current single “Super Bass” is easily her most commercial thus far. That “boom badoom boom, boom badoom boom” bass in the chorus will be truly challenging to get out of your head, but the song’s rapping portions are just as witty as they are on any of the other tracks off Minaj’s debut album, Pink Friday. (i.e. “He always in the air, but he never fly coach.”) It’s easy to picture a top-down convertible full of girls at a red light unabashedly car-dancing to “Super Bass.” And even if you don’t have those wheels or fit in the demographic, there’s no denying the young rapper has a big hit on her hands here. “You can’t help but fantasize about how much fun you’ll be having to this thing over the coming months,” Pitchfork reviewed.
“Tonight Tonight”- Hot Chelle Rae
We haven’t heard this type of straightforward, pop punk rock for a few years now, since groups like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte ruled the airwaves. But pseudo-moshing is back this summer with Tennessee-based Hot Chelle Rae. Their “la, la, la, whatever” tone is perfect for the sluggish days of summer and besides, who doesn’t love a reference to The Hangover’s resident bushy-faced funnyman Zach Galifianakis?
“The Edge of Glory”- Lady Gaga
Her LGBT anthem “Born This Way” and lackluster followup “Judas” may have hinted that Lady Gaga’s pop domination was coming to an end with her second album. But her most recent single, “The Edge of Glory,” is a bright spot on Gaga’s sophomore effort Born This Way, despite its dismal beginnings. She wrote the song after her grandfather died, focusing on his last moment. Plus, “The Edge of Glory” also incorporates a saxophone solo from Clarence Clemons, who died in June after suffering a stroke. Despite the somber undertones, “The Edge of Glory” is catchy, inspirational, and genuine. It channels the great ‘80s power ballads that topped charts before Gaga was even born and it proves she can still say she’s at the top.
“Good Life”- One Republic
Five years ago, Colorado-based soft-rock band One Republic exploded onto the pop scene with their hit “Apologize.” Though they’ve continued to put out songs since, none have proved as successful as their first single; but that may all soon change. Their current track “Good Life” is climbing the charts after its inclusion in many film projects, including Eat Pray Love, Easy A, and the upcoming One Day. Its driving drum beat and whistle-featuring hook has led to much toe-tapping, even if it’s not exactly “Me and Julio Down By the School Yard” quality. Plus, its message about enjoying the moment (i.e. “When you’re happy like a fool/Let it take you over”) is sure to put smiles on many faces—whether it’s a sunny summer afternoon or seasonal thunderstorm.
“I Wanna Go”- Britney Spears
Pop princess-turned-entertainment robot Britney Spears released her seventh album Femme Fatale in March. Its first two singles, “Hold It Against Me” and “’Til the World Ends,” were huge successes and Spears’ third song “I Wanna Go” is also charming audiences, particularly thanks to its self-mocking music video. As Spears sings “I I I wanna go oh oh,” she flashes a ginger-haired prepubescent boy, shoots paparazzi cyborgs, and even pokes fun at her feature-film debut Crossroads. Whether it’s manufactured or not, Spears’ ability to joke at her own expense helps fans overlook her digitally manipulated vocals. “The weirdness seems very calculated, but that doesn’t make the video any less delightful,” Rolling Stone reviewed.
“The Show Goes On”- Lupe Fiasco
Sometimes, ear candy is the best way to go. Hip-hop artist Lupe Fiasco has been attempting to break into the music industry for the past decade and though he’s had tastes of success, “The Show Goes On” has surpassed his previous singles. The melody of the song was taken from Modest Mouse’s 2004 hit “Float On,” which was a huge smash in its own right. And apparently, the public isn’t sick of it yet—Fiasco’s single went platinum in May. “I was literally told for ‘The Show Goes On’ that I shouldn’t rap too deep. I shouldn’t be too lyrical. It just needs to be something easy on the eyes,” Fiasco told the Chicago Tribune. Sometimes, we all need something pretty to look at… or listen to.
“Rolling in the Deep”- Adele
No one does angry and heartbroken better than Adele, whose bluesy rock sound has come to define a voice for those under the age of 25, as well as a new type of pop music. The Grammy winner’s sophomore album 21 has dominated the charts, as has its debut single “Rolling in the Deep” about a scorned lover seeking revenge. The Sun called the track “an epic, foot-stomper of a pop anthem with thumping piano and a vocal you would expect from a veteran of 20 years on the road.” So if and when your summer romance turns sour, cranking up this track from the English singer-songwriter is an excellent initial antidote.
“Don’t Wanna Go Home”- Jason Derulo
No one is a bigger fan of Jason Derulo than the singer himself—every track he’s released as a single starts with him serenading listeners with his own name. But the fact of the matter is, not even his cockiness can take away from the catchiness of his music. Derulo’s “Don’t Wanna Go Home” samples from Harry Belafonte’s “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” and the early ‘90s hit “Show Me Love”—their combined power in this track makes it easy to envision crowds of hot summer bodies jumping up and down to this song into the wee hours of the morning. “In the midst of all the turmoil in the world, I wanted to create a song that made you forget your problems,” Derulo said in a press release. “So escape home, forget reality, and live it up!”

I can see these Blackberry & Herbed Goat Cheese Crostini with Hot Honey Drizzle becoming the official summer party staple at your house! I mean, how can this be wrong? A juicy fresh blackberry sitting high atop a creamy mountain of rosemary and chive-flecked goat cheese and then drizzled with a sticky, spicy, sweet Hot Honey. Say hello to your brand new favorite fast appetizer!
Crostini look fancy but are so ridiculously easy to throw together. What I love about them is you get all these amazing flavors in a two-bite package! Crostini are made from small slices of grilled or toasted bread; traditionally, a baguette. If you don’t have blackberries, the crostini will be delicious topped with strawberries, blueberries or even fresh figs! The possibilities are endless! Fire up the oven broiler or outdoor grill, slice some baguette and let’s get ready to make these beauties!
What if I don’t have a baguette?
No worries! If you don’t have a baguette on hand, slices of any wide, preferably hard-crusted bread will work. Then you call them bruschetta! You may need to double the amount of the herbed goat cheese recipe to have enough to top all twelve of the slices.
What if I don’t like goat cheese?
Personally, I love goat cheese. But I get it. Some people don’t like cheese that is “goaty” in flavor. I encourage you to try some different brands of goat cheese. When I first tried it, I can say I wasn’t a fan. I mean, I felt like bleating afterward! I did keep trying it and have since found several brands that are pretty mild in goat flavor. This is an example of one brand of goat cheese I adore. But if you don’t care for it, you can undoubtedly omit the goat cheese and use all cream cheese. The taste and presentation will still be fantastic!
Do you have any more tips?
- Of course! I am full of them! Please, Please, Please whatever you do, don’t use dried herbs in this recipe. The flavors will mute, and the presentation won’t be quite as pretty. I find that dried herbs tend to turn creamy based dishes a bit of an odd color and honestly, with the juicy blackberries and hot honey drizzle this dish screams for fresh herbs!
- If you have the outdoor grill fired up, you can toast the crostini on that. Be sure to not walk away from the grill because the crostini can go up in flames quite quickly! Yes, I speak from experience! I’ve had my fair share of making crostini that match the charcoal briquettes that “toasted” them!
- You may have a bit of the Herbed Goat Cheese Spread left. If you do, try it in an omelet! It’s fantastic!

Blackberry & Herbed Goat Cheese Crostini with Hot Honey! Crunchy Crostini topped with herb-flecked Goat Cheese and Blackberries then drizzled with a homemade sweet and spicy Hot Honey! Bound to become your new favorite summertime appetizer. It assembles in a flash so you can get back to soaking up the sunshine!
For the Crostini:
12 3/4-1″ slices baguette
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
sea salt, to taste
For the Hot Honey:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
For the Goat Cheese Spread:
4 ounces log-style goat cheese
1-ounce cream cheese softened
1/2 tsp lemon zest (about 4 swipes with a zesting tool)
1 Tbsp heavy cream
3 tsp minced fresh rosemary
2 tsp minced fresh chives
12 fresh blackberries
minced chives, minced rosemary, chive blossoms, optional
For the Crostini:
- Heat oven broiler on high.
- Place bread slices on a baking sheet.
- Brush slices with olive oil.
- Place bread under the broiler and broil for 3-5 minutes. There is no rule as to how light or dark the crostini needs to be toasted.
- Remove toasts from the oven and sprinkle with the sea salt. Set aside.
For the Hot Honey:
- Place honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.
- Place pan over medium-low heat. I have an electric range, and I set the dial on #4.
- Heat honey for 5 minutes.
- Pull the pan off the heat, pour the honey into a jar, and set it aside to cool.
For the Goat Cheese:
- In a medium-size bowl place the goat cheese and lemon zest.
- Using a fork, mash the ingredients together.
- Add softened cream cheese and continue mashing with the fork.
- Add heavy cream and minced herbs and stir till well combined.
To Assemble the Crostini:
- Spread a generous amount of goat cheese on each toast. Top each with a blackberry and a drizzle of the cooled Hot Honey.
- Place finished crostini on a serving platter with extra Hot Honey, for drizzling.
- You can sprinkle minced fresh chives or rosemary and chive blossoms on the crostini to garnish.
- If you have the outdoor grill already fired up, go ahead and throw the sliced baguette on there to toast instead of using the broiler method. The crostini only takes a minute to toast. Watch them carefully! I’ve made plenty of crostini look like the charcoal briquette that “toasted” them by walking away!
- Have leftover Hot Honey? Try it on fried chicken! It’s fantastic!
- Extra goat cheese spread? Try it in an omelet or as a sandwich spread!
- Use block-style cream cheese; the whipped tub-style will not work for this recipe.
- All the crostini components can be prepared several hours ahead of time, so all you have to do is assemble them at serving time!
- Don’t like goat cheese? Omit the goat cheese and substitute 5 ounces of cream cheese instead!
- If Hot Honey becomes too thick to drizzle, warm it in the microwave for a few seconds.
- I only toasted one side of the bread under the broiler. I prefer the crunchy top of the bread and a little bit of a chewy bottom. You can definitely toast both sides under the broiler if you like.

1933 Boeing 247
This aircraft crashed on April 16, 1941 at Charleston West Virginia with no fatalities.
Twin Engine All Metal Boeing 247 - 170 M.P.H. Payload 2,000 Pounds including 10 passengers mail and baggage. A low-wing, twin-engine, all metal monoplane that revolutionized air transport design. Developed in 1933 and the first modern passenger airliner. It had an autopilot, pneumatically operated de-icing equipment, a variable-pitch propeller, and retractable landing gear. It took the Model 247 20 hours, with seven stops, to fly between New York and Los Angeles. However, because the 247 flew at 189 mph, its trip was seven and a half hours shorter than that made by previous airliners. Seventy-six 247s were built. The 247s remained in airline service until World War II, when several were converted into C-73 transports and trainers. Some were still flying in the late 1960s.
