Waar?   Tentoonstelling Ai Weiwei – in Search of Humanity in Kunsthal, Rotterdam

Wanneer?   28 december 2023

Wie vindt dat kunst op zichzelf moet staan en geen relatie mag hebben met de actuele politieke en maatschappelijke realiteit, kan de tentoonstelling van Ai Weiwei in de Rotterdamse Kunsthal maar beter vermijden. Elk werk van deze Chinese kunstenaar verwijst naar mensenrechten, politieke machinaties, vernietiging van culturele waarden en andere geladen onderwerpen. Met In Search of Humanity heeft de Kunsthal de meest uitgebreide overzichtstentoonstelling van zijn werk tot nu toe in huis.

In New York maakt de kunstenaar kennis met moderne en hedendaagse kunst. In navolging van Marchel Duchamps gaat hij werken met ready makes. Ook deze werken zijn echter geladen met maatschappelijke en politieke betekenissen. Door objecten die niets et elkaar te maken hebben te combineren krijgen ze, geïnspireerd door het levensverhaal van de kunstenaar, een diepere betekenis. Ai Weiwei’s vader was Ai Qing, een belangrijk dichter. Als hij kritiek uit op het regime, wordt hij als ‘rechtse reactionair’ met zijn gezin verbannen. In zijn verbanningsoord ondergaat Ai Qing dagelijks allerlei vernederingen. Hij wordt gedwongen de gemeenschappelijke toiletten van het kamp schoon te maken. De in bont gehulde schep roept associaties op met het lot van de vader van de kunstenaar.

Geïnspireerd door werk van Andy Warhol schildert Ai verschillende portretten van Mao Zedong in een stijl die doet denken aan de historische propagandaposters uit de tijd van de Culturele Revolutie. Met horizontale strepen wordt de suggestie gewekt dat het werk op een goedkoop stuk golfplaat is geschilderd.

Vanaf 2003 maakt Ai Weiwei verschillende fietsobjecten. Tot in de jaren tachtig van de vorige eeuw was de fiets het ultieme vervoermiddel in China. Pas de laatste decennia rukt de auto op als middel van transport, wat zware smogvervuiling in de Chinese steden tot gevolg heeft. De kunstenaar zet de fietsen, meestal van het in Shanghai gevestigde merk Forever, zo in elkaar dat ze niet langer functioneel zijn. Daarmee verwijst hij naar het Chinese volk als uniform collectief, waarin het individu nauwelijks beweegruimte heeft.

Rem(a)inders is een combinatie van de Engelse woorden ‘remainders’ (overblijfselen) en reminders (herinneringen), Ai hakt volledige fietsen in stukken van vijf centimeter. Hij beschouwt dit niet als daad van destructie, maar als een transformatie in een andere staat van zijn , waarbij het object een volstrekt nieuwe betekenis krijgt, maar tegelijkertijd ook de herinnering aan het oude in zich draagt.

Voor een project in de Turbinehal van Tate Modern in Londen liet Ai Weiwei miljoenen met de hand beschilderde porseleinen zonnebloempitjes maken. De pitjes werden vervaardigd in de stad Jingdezhen , regio Jiangxi. Deze regio staat historisch bekend om zijn porseleinproductie. Maar liefst zestienhonderd ambachtslieden waren betrokken bij het maken en beschilderen van de zonnebloempitjes. Het project verwijst naar een staat waar de bevolking wordt gezien als een uniforme massa. Tegelijkertijd benadrukt het dat ieder individu de mogelijkheid in zich draagt om te groeien en zichzelf te overstijgen. In Rotterdam is een kleine variant van Ai’s vloer van zonnebloempitten te zien.

De kritiek van Ai richt zich niet alleen op het Chinese regime. I Can’t Breathe zijn de, in het Arabisch uitgesproken, laatste woorden van journalist Jamai Khashoggi. Deze werd in 2018 vermoord in het consulaat van Saoedi-Arabië in Istanboel. De kunstenaar zet deze tekst in Arabische letters op een, in Lego uitgevoerde, Saoedi-Arabische vlag, waardoor deze verandert in een spandoek ter verdediging van de vrijheid van meningsuiting.

Tijdens een verblijf op Lesbos in 2015 ziet Ai dat de kust bezaaid is met zwemvesten en boeien, achtergelaten door vluchtelingen die de Middellandse Zee zijn overgestoken. In het werk Crystal Boll vormen zwemvesten een lotusbloem. In het midden daarvan bevindt zich een kristallen bol, een verwijzing naar de toekomst die de bootvluchtelingen wacht.

To reduce air pollution, many areas require regular emissions testing of automobiles to verify they meet air quality standards. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of required emissions and smog checks for personal vehicles - from test procedures to pass/fail standards. What is an Emissions or Smog Check for a Car? An emissions test (also called a smog check or pollution test) measures the levels of certain air pollutants in a vehicle's exhaust. It is typically required periodically to renew a car's registration. Key details on emissions testing: Tests tailpipe emissions as car runs on rollers Checks hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) Oxygen sensors also tested Models 1996 and newer tested via OBD-II scan tool Helps identify vehicles exceeding permitted emissions levels Reducing autos emitting excessive pollutants helps improve overall regional air quality. Why are Vehicle Emissions Tests Required? Testing vehicle emissions is mandated in many geographic areas to comply with clean air regulations. The Clean Air Act authorizes the EPA to set vehicle emissions standards. States are required to implement inspection programs in regions that exceed federal air quality standards for ozone pollution and other contaminants. Counties and states that fail to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone are typically required under the Clean Air Act to implement emissions testing programs, along with other pollution reduction strategies. Currently, over 30 states have some form of mandatory recurrent emissions or smog testing for registration renewal. The EPA estimates these programs yield a 10-15% reduction in volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides emissions overall in adopting areas. What Areas Require Emissions Testing and How Often? States with county or regional emissions inspection programs include: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin Testing frequency varies by state and county: Annual testing - CA, CT, DE, ME, MD, MA, MN, NV, NY, OR, RI, VT, VA Biennial (every 2 years) testing - AZ, DC, GA, IL, IN, MO, NH, NJ, NC, OH, PA, TN, TX, UT, WA, WI Areas meeting EPA "attainment" levels can apply to reduce test frequency or eliminate testing requirements after maintaining compliance for a period of time. Contact your local motor vehicle department to confirm the emissions testing requirements and schedule for your county or region. What Does the Emissions Test Check and How is it Performed? The emissions test checks tailpipe exhaust levels of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Oxygen sensors are also checked. The standard testing procedure: Vehicle driven onto dynamometer (large rollers) Exhaust pipe fitted with equipment to collect emissions samples Engine brought up to operating temperature Dynamometer applies resistance to simulate driving conditions Multiple acceleration, deceleration, and cruise phases HC, CO, NOx, and O2 levels measured continuously Results compared against emissions standards for make/model/year Since 1996, most inspections are done by plugging into your car's OBD-II port to check emissions monitors in the vehicle's computer. Pass or Fail: Emissions Standards Your Car Must Meet For gasoline vehicles, maximum exhaust emissions standards are: Hydrocarbons (HC): 220 parts per million Carbon Monoxide (CO): 4.2% concentration Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx): 540 parts per million Additionally: Oxygen sensor must be present and functioning MIL light must not be illuminated (check eng

ine light) Fuel cap must be properly sealed with no leaks Any check engine lights, faults, or monitors "not ready" may cause an automatic failure. Standards vary by model year and vehicle class. How to Prepare Your Car to Pass Emissions Testing To improve your chances of passing emissions testing: Fix any check engine lights - Diagnose and repair any issues triggering error codes. Replace oxygen sensor - Faulty O2 sensors almost always cause failure. Replace over 100k miles. Tune up engine - Replace air filter, spark plugs, wires. Helps optimize combustion. Tighten gas cap - A loose or missing gas cap will trigger evap monitor failure. Complete drive cycle - Drive through all conditions to set monitors to "ready" status if needed. Check your local requirements - Some areas prohibit testing immediately after clearing codes. Doing proper maintenance and fixing problems that trigger check engine lights before testing gives you the best odds of a pass. How Much Does Emissions Testing Cost? Emissions test fees vary by testing station and state. Average costs range from $15-$35 for the basic test. This fee is sometimes included in your vehicle's registration renewal cost. Most inspection stations accept cash, credit/debit cards, or checks. In some states, waivers may be available if you spend a certain amount on emissions-related repairs and still fail the test. Contact your motor vehicle department for details on emissions test pricing and potential waivers in your area. Locating Nearby Emissions Inspection Stations Most testing stations are privately owned mechanics and repair shops certified by the state to perform mandatory emissions inspections. Options to find a certified emissions testing location nearby: Check your state's motor vehicle department website for station listings. Search online business directories for "emissions testing" stations in your county. Call your local mechanic and repair shops to ask if they do testing. Look for station signs as you drive - many post signs indicating they offer emissions/smog testing. Find stations close to home to make the required testing and potential re-tests as convenient as possible. Limitations and Exemptions from Emissions Testing In some cases, certain vehicles may be exempt from needing periodic emissions testing including: Classic/antique vehicles - Classic car status varies by state, but is typically 25+ years old. Motorcycles and diesel vehicles - Exempt in some states. New vehicles - New cars within first 1-5 years of age may be exempt. Cars driven very few miles - Low mileage waiver available in some states. Areas without I/M programs - Whatever your state does not mandate. Vehicles registered out-of-state - If registering car in a non-testing state. Check with your local vehicle registration office for emissions testing exemptions and limitations that may apply to your specific vehicle type, age or usage. FAQs How often do I need to get an emissions test done? Testing frequency varies by state but is usually either annual or once every 2 years. Check your specific area. Can I pass emissions testing with a check engine light on? No, any error codes triggering your check engine light must be fixed and light cleared prior to emissions testing in order to pass. Where can I find my latest emissions test results report? Testing facilities provide you with your test report. Motor vehicle departments also keep records of test results which you can request. What should you do if your car fails emissions? Begin diagnosis and repairs immediately. Retest as soon as possible before registration expires. Some areas allow repair waivers if you invest enough fixing issues. Are electric cars and hybrids subject to emissions testing? Pure electric vehicles are exempt since they produce no tailpi

pe emissions. Traditional hybrids still require testing in most areas. Completing periodic emissions or smog checks is required by law in many regions. Follow proper maintenance and testing procedures to keep your car in compliance. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans

Welterbe (auf)gespürt und (er)fahren - F - Kathedrale Notre-Dame von Amiens

Der Regen begleitet mich seit Tagen durchs Kohlerevier Nord-Pas de Calais und die Städte mit ihren beeindruckenden Belfrieden. Auch als ich in Amiens ankomme, hört es nicht auf, im Gegenteil. Ich werfe das Regencape über und laufe los, es ist nicht weit bis zur Kathedrale. Um den Belfried herum ist gerade Markt, und hier in Frankreich ist das immer eine Augenweide. Die Kathedrale sieht von Ferne relativ klein aus, aber als ich näher komme, entdecke ich die wunderschönen Details. Die ganze Front ist voller Figuren, der Sandstein leuchtet hell vor dem grauen Himmel und schon beginne ich mich zu begeistern.

Die Kathedrale von Amiens steht seit 1981 auf der UNESCO-Welterbeliste. Sie ist eine der größten und noch vollständigsten gotischen Kirchen des 13. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich und besitzt das mit über 42 m höchste Mittelschiff. Erbaut zwischen 1220 und 1288 zeugt sie, auch bedingt durch die Verbundenheit der Baumeister (Vater und Sohn de Luzarches), von einem hohen Maß an Kontinuität in der Konzeption und Ausführung. Der Reichtum der bildhauerischen Dekoration und der Glasmalerei machen sie zu einem der bemerkenswertesten Beispiele der mittelalterlichen Architektur. Im Inneren markieren die perfekte Symmetrie des Kirchenschiffs und des Chors, die Schönheit der dreistufigen Ausführung und die kühne Leichtigkeit ihrer Struktur den Beginn eines außergewöhnlichen Stils in der monumentalen Architektur und Skulptur. Gemeinsam mit Notre-Dame de Chartres und Notre-Dame de Reims ist die Notre-Dame d’Amiens eine der drei klassischen Kathedralen der französischen Hochgotik des 13. Jahrhunderts. Die Kathedrale von Amiens übte einen wichtigen Einfluss auf die weitere Entwicklung der gotischen Architektur aus und wurde bauliches Vorbild für den kurz darauf begonnenen Kölner Dom und viele Jahrhunderte später für die St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. Hier ist das interessante Einführungsvideo. Die Kathedrale ist von außen ein Bilderbuch und ich entdecke bei jedem Blickwechsel neue Details. Ich stehe eine Weile davor und staune über die vielfältigen Figuren und die erzählten Geschichten.

In jeder Reihe taucht Neues auf und dabei kann ich nur die unteren genauer betrachten, alles weitere bleibt dem Zoom der Kamera vorbehalten.

Die Fassade beeindruckt mich fast noch mehr als das Innere, hier sind es besonders die unheimliche Höhe und das Licht durch die bunten Fenster. Das Innere ist stilvoll und aus einem Guss.

Wie auch außen haben die Steinmetze Meisterwerke geschaffen. Es findet gerade eine Hochzeit statt und mein Rundgang wird vom Gesang begleitet.

Ich könnte zum Abschluss noch auf den Turm der Kathedrale steigen oder die Schatzkammer besichtigen, mache aber beides nicht, denn das Wetter ist einfach zu schlecht und ich möchte in der Regenpause zum Auto zurück. Vor dem Rathaus, ebenfalls einem beachtlichen Sandsteinbau, hat sich ebenfalls eine Hochzeitsgesellschaft für das Foto versammelt.

Resümee Die Kathedrale von Amiens ist wunderschön, sogar bei dem wahrlich nicht optimalen Wetter. Ihr Reichtum an Skulpturen ist beeindruckend, umso mehr, wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt, ihnen einmal ins Gesicht zu schauen oder ihrer Geschichte in der Szene zu folgen. Die lichte Leichtigkeit und Höhe im Inneren der Kathedrale überwältigt den Besucher, sie ist prächtig ausgeschmückt und trotzdem nicht überladen. In Amiens kann man eines der Meisterwerke der Gotik bewundern und bei besseren Witterungsbedingungen um die Kathedrale herum sicher noch viel Interessantes erkunden. Bis nach Reims, meinem nächsten Ziel, fahre ich zunächst im strömenden Regen durch Landwirtschaftsgebiete. Die Kartoffeln und Rüben sind bereits geerntet und liegen in großen Haufen auf den Feldern, der Mais steht vor der Ernte, ebenso die Sonnenblumen. Nicht nur die Städte stecken voller Geschichte, auch die Dörfer haben viele historische Gebäude, die in ihrem alten Charme noch erhalten sind – französische Lebensart und Umgang mit den Dingen. Ich stelle mir vor, dass hier gleich einer der schönen Filme spielen könnte. Der Regen hat aufgehört, mich einholen zu wollen und im Rückspiegel sehe ich die Sonne langsam sinken. Ich bin bereits tausend Kilometer unterwegs und jetzt beginnt die Weinregion der Champagne. Dobbys Einrichtung und der Ausstattung hat sich auch im Novemberwetter bewährt. Alle Details zum Ausbau meines Minicampers findet ihr hier: https://5-reisende.de/2022/07/29/55-000-km-on-the-road-vom-nordkapp-bis-sizilien-dobby-insights/. Meine Übernachtungsplätze habe ich wieder auf park4night gesucht und unter 5Reisende bewertet. Die App Toiletten Scout hat sich größtenteils nicht als hilfreich erwiesen. Read the full article

[rgrettes]

heyy, I hope I'm not bothering but I've seen that you used to post about faberry and faberry fics like Shafd, and since I'm trying to find some faberry fanfics to read, could you please recommend me some of your favorites? Thank you :)

OKAY so this took me a whole lot longer than anticipated because I didn’t want to make it be like 500 fics long! But here, in no particular order, are my top 10 faberry fanfics! [excluding SHAfD of course bc whomever asked this definitely knows SHAfD!]I will be including trigger warnings/content warnings! Please be sure that you can handle the subjects before reading the content! Be safe and put your mental and physical wellbeing before a work of fiction!

10. Dirty Little Secret by patchesofink

Chapters: 77/77 [208k]

This fic would actually happen to be the first faberry fic that I ever read. I felt my little 15 year old self cry several times throughout this fic. It’s what first got me into writing fanfic, because I wanted to write as well as this author! There is a content warning so please be careful reading it if you are sensitive to topics mentioned!

Rachel has a secret and Quinn has figured it out - but will Quinn use this knowledge to exact revenge on Rachel for telling Finn that Puck was really the father or will she use her own experiences to help. WARNING - language and sexual content, r*pe.

9. I’ll Be by stix04

Chapters: 20/20 [330k]

God I was such a sucker for fake dating au’s as a young teenager and I’m most definitely a sucker for them now. This one I didn’t read right when it came out, I didn’t actually find it until it had finished but it still makes my top 20 because it’s just too good not to talk about!

Can Quinn pretend to be in love with Rachel just to get out of Lima? Can Rachel pretend to love Quinn so she's not so lonely in New York? And what happens when both girls realize they're no longer pretending?

8. Long Way to Happy by patchesofink 

Chapters: 42/42 [104k]

This is the sequel to Dirty Little Secret and makes the list for being just as good as the original. This author is so talented and the story just resonates in my soul! 

warnings for sexual content, language, violence and potential ptsd triggers!

Sequel to Dirty Little Secret. Rachel still has some healing to do as well with dealing with becoming a mom. Quinn has her own issues to deal with. Can their fledgling relationship deal with the ups and downs of life and cope with senior year? Quinn learns to open up and Rachel deals with motherhood and not letting her past define her. It's a Long Way to Happy.

7. Leather Jackets and Bad Coffee by antonius

Chapters: 11/?? [75k] [has not updated since 2018 :(]

Bikers, 50′s style diners, and good girl/bad girl pairing. Literally who could ask for anything more? I’m super sad this one hasn’t updated in a long time but it’s still such a fun read!!

warning for violence!

Ninety miles and nearly two hours from the heart of New York City, just off of PA-33 North, is the little town of Belfast, Pennsylvania: population 1,257. Right outside the city limits sits Moe's, a small 24-hour diner whose newest waitress, Rachel Berry, has taken her best friend Kurt's advice and started a calm summer temp job away from the hustle-and-bustle of busy city life in order to rest up before her final year at NYADA.During her very first midnight shift, she encounters a group of rowdy regulars led by a pink-haired woman with piercing hazel eyes. Quinn Fabray is the leader of the Skanks, a small but well-known local biker gang that doesn't take shit from anyone.So began the strangest summer of Rachel Berry's life.

6. Talk by saintdyke

Chapters: 17/? [43k] [last updated may 2019]

This is another one I’m sad hasn’t updated in a while! This honestly stole my heart to a point that in the time I found it in mid April 2019 and June of 2019 I have re-visited the fic 105 times, rereading it at least half as many as that. I’m really hoping the author comes back to the fic, because it was keeping me on the edge of my seat.

warning for violence, abuse mentions and depictions, homophobia and ptsd triggers!

(Previously titled Grease Stains, Starry Skies) Famous actress Rachel Berry’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A pretty blonde with a blue truck rescues her from the side of the road, and just so happens to own an Auto Repair shop in town. Quinn is frustrating and mysterious, and Rachel is just as stubborn. Together, they start a revolution.

5. Just off the Key of Reason by iamapanda

Chapters: 30/30 [129k]

This one is another absolute classic in the Faberry fandom, and is another fic that has stuck with me throughout the years! It has a fantastic softer take on Quinn that I truly appreciated because everyone back in the early years of the fandom would make her so angry and bitter and she’s just so soft in some interpretations

Rachel Berry is a successful Broadway star with a new roommate, the very odd, naive Quinn Fabray. It starts with a note on the fridge and a childishly scrawled doodle of an elephant. Everybody has a little crazy in them.

4. Still off the Key of Reason by iamapanda

Chapters: 37/37 [185k]

The sequel to Just off the Key of Reason! Still as soft and as crazy! I can’t mention one without having the other in the list as well! I can’t explain how it feels to look at the ff.net pages after so long, my heart is transported back to 2011 and I’m sitting on my bed after I’m supposed to be in bed. I miss the days where I could just spend time reading these fics and not having adult responsibilities.

Quinn is thundering her way through vet school. Rachel is enlightening the west coast with her talent. The story continues with a wedding, dogs in tuxedos, and Pooh Bear vows. Crazy never fades.

3. A Million Miles of Fun by Jade8Devlin

Chapters: 12/12 [103k]

This one is a little different from the last ones! It isn’t my favorite because of its literary genius, but because of how fun and out there it is! It’s concept is fresh and dark and something I honestly didn’t expect to see but it quickly grew to be a favorite for me!

warning for violence, abuse, mentions of murder! the whole story revolves around The Unholy Trinity + Rachel murdering Quinn’s family so please take that into consideration!

And in Lima, Ohio, a man and woman were killed earlier today during what is believed to be a home invasion. Russell Fabray was last seen leaving Gas'N'Go at two o'clock; his wife, Judith, from a grocery story an hour earlier. Police are linking the double homicide to the area's recent surge in breaking and entering – though these appear to be the first fatalities. The victims are survived by their daughters; Quinn and Stacey."Jessalyn Briggs shuffles the papers on her desk, clearing her throat. The somber expression on her face seems to float off her as she turns towards camera 3."Otis-the-Otter finishes today's news headlines as the little critter that could. Abandoned by his mother and found foraging for scraps in the Nelson family's garbage cans, Otis has proven; if you can't teach an old dog new tricks, teach them to an otter! Otis placed second at this year's Ohio Dog Show after last year's well-documented struggle by the Nelson family to allow Otis to be included. Well done Otis, we here at Channel 43 salute you.

2. The Silence of Silence by your.kat

Chapters: 31/31 [135k]

This one... I can’t describe why I liked it, I just liked it.

warning for mental health, and trauma [possible others, please read with caution]

Quinn and Rachel meet at Haverbrook under unusual circumstances. Why is Rachel silent? And why does Quinn care? "You can hear," Quinn said simply, "but can you speak?"; "Yes," Rachel signed. "I can speak. But silence is a friend who will never betray."

1. Kissing Quinn Fabray by vondrunkaton

Chapters: 6/6 [45k]

This one just makes me super warm and fuzzy inside. I don’t think I can say it’s entirely changed my life but it’s just so soft and i love it

Quinn comforts Rachel after Finn says something oafish. Rachel is surprised by how sweet Quinn is. There's also some making out in delicious detail. Fluffy getting together fic.

I am super open to talking about more fics I love/like and other pairings! This was a ton of fun to talk about and sent me down memory lane! I went searching for two hours on a vague memory of a fic that I think has been deleted by now. But if anyone wants to help me track it down! Hit me up and I’ll give you the details!

 As children, the three would run through the house playing superheroes, Super Mario characters, jedi, etc. The Stark butler, Jarvis, always made sure nothing valuable was broken. They would often rope him into their play. As they got older, they calmed down somewhat. Natasha taught Tony to braid so he could braid her and Bucky’s hair.  Both would push him to get more intricate braids. Bucky would recommend books for the others to read, and they had a book club group chat where they would discuss plots and theories. Tony lets them in his lab and teaches them about science.

 When the three turned ten, the adults would joke that Natasha might have a hard time choosing between the two handsome boys. Natasha’s fathers said she should be able to do whatever she wanted. Natasha never paid them any mind because Tony and Bucky were her friends. Why did she need to choose?

The three were inseparable until middle school. They never had a falling out, per se. They just stopped hanging out. Maybe they were tired of everyone trying to figure out who liked who, or maybe they just wanted more friends. No one actually knows. Tony became close with his lab partner James Rhodes, who he dubbed Rhodey. He also roped Virginia Potts into his trio as well. She became known as Pepper almost overnight. Natasha basically adopted the “school nerd” Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers, the girl most of the guys hated because she was “too feminist.” Carol, an avid lesbian even at a young age, didn’t care. Boys were a waste of time to her. Bucky was fast friends with Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, and Sharon Carter.  Every once in a while, all ten of them would hang out, but it seemed like the legendary trio was over.

 As they reach puberty, the comments about them increase. Instead of being smelly boys, Tony and Bucky both grow into handsome young men. Both realize as they grow older that they were kind of into boys and girls. Sure, Natasha is beautiful, Bucky thinks, but so is Sam. He doesn’t know how Tony feels about Nat, and since one of them was “destined” to get her, he decides he will step back and let Tony ask her out. He takes Sam on a date, and they are steady for a couple of months. They split on good terms at the end.

 Tony has the same line of thought, and he dates Tiberius Stone for a while. Both Bucky and Natasha hate him, but Tony doesn’t know why. Ty is cultured and handsome, a real catch. So, what if he verbally abuses him and guilt-trips him? That’s the way his father always treats him. Isn’t it normal?

 Natasha doesn’t date. She doesn’t care to. If people want to speculate, she doesn’t care. She’s only sixteen, why does it matter if she doesn’t have a partner? Her fathers tell her to take her time, and if she never wants to date, that’s her say.

 When they graduate, Tony goes to MIT. Natasha gets in at Stanford, and Bucky’s parents can only afford for him to go to NYU. Tony offers to pay for a better college, but Bucky won’t let him. They keep in contact and see each other every break. Tony finally breaks up with Ty in his freshman year, but he becomes a party animal. Rhodey does his best to keep Tony out of trouble, but even he fails sometimes. When he graduates summa cum laude, he takes his place at Stark Industries. Natasha studies to become a lawyer, and she passes the bar easily. Bucky graduates NYU and saves up enough to buy his own auto repair shop. All are successful and don’t have much time to spend with each other or anyone else, to be fair.

 ++++++

Jan, Tony’s stylist, sets him up on a blind date with a Jimmy because he “works too much.” He shows up at the restaurant she picks out to only find Bucky sitting at the table to which the maître d leads him. “Bucky?”

 “Tony? What are you doing here?” Bucky stands.

 “I’m as confused as you are.” Tony sits at the table. “Jan told me I’d be meeting a Jimmy. Who the hell calls you Jimmy?”

 “Well, she called you Anthony. I can’t believe you let anyone call you Anthony.”

 Tony shoots him a glare. “I don’t. Not sure why she told you that you’d be meeting an Anthony… unless she did this on purpose.”

 “What? The parents figure that if Nat doesn’t want to date either of us, they might as well put us together?” Bucky’s eyes snap.

 “I don’t know.” Tony shrugs. “But it all seems very suspicious, you know? What do you propose we do about it?”

 “I think we should eat dinner and go have fun. We both go home to our own houses afterwards and never try to date again, just to screw ‘em.” Bucky smiles sharply.

 “I like that. Deal.”

 Tony wakes up in Bucky’s bed the next day. “Well, I guess that plan didn’t work out.”

 “Yea… I’m torn up between kicking you out now just to fuck our parents or actually fucking you again,” Bucky comments. “Damn, Tones, you’re amazing.”

 Tony colors. “Yea, I had a lot of experience in college. People still like to say they spent the night with me even though I haven’t slept with someone else for months now. I’ve just been busy.”

 “Same. Who has time to date anymore?” Bucky shakes his head. “It’s a shame because I would love to have nights like last night more often.” He straightens completely and raises a finger. “I have an idea, and you may not like it, but here me out. What if we were each other’s booty calls? Just whenever we need a quick smash, we text the other?”

 “James Buchanan Barnes, you are a fucking genius. I would kiss you right now, except my PA’s probably calling my dead phone, wondering where the hell I am. Can we rain check the next session?” Tony hops out of bed, pulling on his pants. Once quickly dressed, he heads to the door to leave and blows Bucky a kiss on his way out.

 Using his watch to ping his driver, Tony heads home to get changed before going to work an hour late. Howard doesn’t berate him as much for being late for work, so Tony wonders if he knew something about his date with Bucky. The thought leaves his mind as he gets started on his day. He doesn’t have time to think about dates or meddling parents.

 As the months go by, both Tony and Bucky text in claims to their booty call agreement. Tony is happy to do so, but he finds himself catching feelings for Bucky. He wonders if it’s because Bucky is the only one that he’s in close contact with, which he mentions to Rhodey when they get lunch on Rhodey’s first day on leave.

 “I mean, I don’t think it’s a good idea to be fucking the only person you have a steady friendship with.” Rhodey steals one of Tony’s fries.

 Tony pouts. “Don’t be like that honeybear. You and Pepper are my friends, too.”

 “Yea, but I’m in the Air Force more than 80% of the time, and Pepper works for you. It’s different.”

 “You’re just jealous that you’re not getting any.” Tony decides.

 Rhodey just smiles. “Says who?”  Tony begins to assault Rhodey for details, the topic of Bucky forgotten.

++++++

“Hey, Natasha’s moving back to New York, apparently.” Bucky informs Tony one morning. “My mom just texted me.”

 Tony groans. “If this becomes another ‘Why don’t you date her?’ thing, I swear I’m going to move to Tahiti and not accept any long-distance calls. You’re welcome to come with if you’d like.”

 “I think we should take her out to dinner one night when she gets settled, just to catch up.” Bucky muses. “Then our parents can’t be mad because we didn’t try.”

 “Yea, I wonder how she’s been. We haven’t talked in so long.” Tony agrees. “I wonder if she got a partnership here or something. I hope so. That’d be good for her.”

 “Nick and Phil will be glad to have her back. If only my parents were as supportive as they are. You should have seen my dad when I told them I was opening my own auto shop.” Bucky smiles that unhappy smile.

 Tony laughs mirthlessly. “I’d be happy if my parents talked to me at all. But being that Howard’s always cranky anymore, I guess it’s best that he doesn’t.”

 ++++++ Natasha moves back less than a month later with a short, sandy haired man in tow. They move into an apartment on the Upper East side. Once she’s settled, she agrees to meet Bucky and Tony for dinner. About ten minutes in, she asks them, “How long have you two been together?”

 “Did someone tell you that we’re together?” Tony demands. “Because they’re wrong. We’re simply booty calls to each other.”

 She shakes her head. “No, you’re not. You might like to think that, but you’re in love with each other. No one told me; I can see it from here.”

 The two men shift in their seats, not daring to look at the other. “So how have you been?” Bucky asks her.

 “Busy. Jenn and I are setting up our own partnership. We’ve gotten a lot of cases lined up, and we need a secretary.  There’re two lawyers working pro bono mostly down in Hell’s Kitchen. We might add them to our firm and pick up their secretary as well. I saw them in court for the Punisher trials, and she seems to have her stuff in order.” She takes a sip of her drink. “Sorry for not keeping up with you guys. I barely even talk to Bruce and Carol.”

 “Mom told me you brought a man home with you,” Bucky says. “She didn’t seem too happy about it. Are you two dating?”

 “Clint? No, he’s just a friend. I’m too busy to date, honestly. I’ve tried a couple times in LA, but it turns out I’m very selective of those with which I choose to hang out. Most men are idiots, and I’m tragically straight. You see my problem, right?”

 “We don’t feel your pain, but we understand,” Tony says. “Well, what we should do is make sure the three of us hang out at least once a month. If we want to bring our other friends, I don’t care, but I’ve sorely missed you, Nat. And Bucky, maybe we should spend more time together with our clothing on.”

 “You say that now, but what about tonight when…” Bucky begins but stops when Natasha gives him her death glare. “Okay, that is still as frightening as ever. Is that how you win all your cases?”

 “No. I’m skilled enough that I don’t need to use that.” Nat flips her hair. “But I’m glad it works on you.”

 Tony stick out his tongue at Bucky. “She’d never kill me. Who would give her those amazing scalp massages?”

 “Now that you’ve brought it up, I demand one once we leave the restaurant.”

 Natasha goes home that night realizing that she missed out on a lot of Tony and Bucky’s lives. If she were being honest, and she is, she kind of relied on their parents’ hope that she would one day marry one of the two. She always acted the way she did because she was equally attracted to both of them, and she would never be able to choose. So, she moved away and let them get on with their lives. She never thought once that they would choose each other and leave her out. She tells this to Clint when she gets home.

 “Talk to them. Maybe they’ll share.” Clint suggests before he falls asleep on the couch.

 She rolls her eyes. “You have a room for a reason.” Natasha knows he’ll still be there when she gets up to go to work the next morning.

 ++++++

The trio meets up at least twice a month. Per Natasha’s goading, Bucky and Tony start to actually date. She’s happy for them but seeing them sometimes is bittersweet. She just wants to go back to the times where they didn’t have to worry about feelings. All feelings have done for her were made her sad.

 One night, they’re eating takeout in Tony’s kitchen when he says, “You can kill me if we’re wrong, but I want to proposition something with you.”

 Natasha raises an eyebrow. This ought to be interesting. Tony proceeds. “So, Bucky and I are very happy in our relationship, but it could use one more thing… you.”

 “Me?”

 “Yea. We both really like you, and we kind of got the feeling that you like us, too. Are we wrong?” Bucky bites his lip worriedly.

 “No, you’re not wrong. I really like both of you. I have since we were kids. I just never wanted to choose between the two of you. When you got together, I was happy for you. I never thought that you’d both want me as well.”

 “Why wouldn’t we want you?” Tony asks. “We love you so much. Obviously, we’ll have to talk about how this is going to work. I hear communication is key to any good relationship. I should know.”

“Also, if we all date, that’s one way to make sure our parents don’t get exactly what they want. Instead of you choosing one of us, you chose both.”

 Natasha grins. This is a fine arrangement indeed. “I would invite you back to my place, but Clint’s there. Would one of yours work?”

 “It’d have to be Tony’s. I just moved in two weeks ago.” Bucky jabs his thumb at his boyfriend.

 ++++++

Natasha’s parents are overjoyed when they hear the news, Bucky’s parents don’t say anything, but Bucky knows they are a little wary of his relationship. Tony’s parents, on the other hand, are very vocal. Howard has a yelling fit, screaming at Tony until he loses his voice. Maria asks him why he vexes his father like that.

 When Bucky and Nat try to comfort him, he shrugs them off, saying, “That’s the first real conversation I’ve had with either of my parents since I was a kid. Don’t worry; I always knew Howard would have a problem with it.”

 “It still sucks,” Bucky tells him. “No matter what, you’ve got us.”

 Tony knows he’s happy when both his partners cuddle around him in the middle of their California King bed. Throughout all odds, the trio is back together.

10 Tips to Make Your Car Look Like New Again

Your car is one of your biggest investments, so it's important to take care of it and keep it looking new. Many people don't have the time or money to take their car in for a detailing every few months, but there are some things you can do at home to help keep it looking good. In this article, we will discuss 10 tips that will help you make your car look like new again!

1. Wash your car regularly - The most important thing you can do to keep your car looking new is to wash it regularly. You don't need to go out and buy a special detailing soap, use some mild dish or laundry detergent and warm water. Make sure to use a soft sponge or cloth when washing so you don't scratch the paint.

2. Wax your car - Waxing your car helps protect the paint from fading over time due to UV rays and other environmental factors. It also gives the paint a nice glossy finish that looks like it just came off the showroom floor!

3. Clean the tires - Keeping them clean not only makes them look better but also helps keep them in good condition. Use a dedicated tire cleaner to get rid of any dirt and grime that has built up on the tires and then use a tire shine product to make them look extra glossy.

4. Clean and condition the interior - The inside of your car can get just as dirty as the outside, so it's essential to keep it clean too. Vacuum out all of the debris, dust, and dirt from the interior regularly and use an appropriate cleaner (such as leather or plastic) to clean all surfaces inside. Also, don't forget to condition your leather seats with a dedicated leather conditioner!

5. Use glass cleaners - Keep your windows looking crystal clear by using glass cleaners specifically made for cars. These will help remove fingerprints, grease, and dirt that may have built up over time.

6. Clean the headlights - Dull or foggy headlights can make your car look older than it really is. Use a headlight cleaner to buff away any grime and help you get them looking new again!

7. Clean out the engine bay - It's not something most people think of doing, but keeping the engine bay clean is important as well. Removing years of built-up grease, oil, and dirt will ensure that everything runs properly and also helps keep your car looking nice!

8. Get rust removed - If you find some rust spots on your car (usually caused by road salt in winter), take it into a professional who can safely remove and treat it. Rust can quickly spread and cause major damage if not taken care of, so don't wait too long!

9. Touch-up scratches - Small scratches that are just on the surface can be filled with touch-up paint to make them look new again. This is a great way to keep your car looking fresh without having to do full bodywork.

10. Use specialized auto detailing York PA products - If you really want your car to shine, invest in some specialty cleaning products such as clay bars or polishes specifically made for cars. These will help remove stubborn dirt and grime that regular cleaners can't get rid of!

Following these tips will help ensure that your car looks its best all year round and will help maintain its value with car detailing York PA. Taking the time to care for your car can also save you money in the long run by preventing any major repair work that might be needed down the road. So don't wait and start taking good care of your car today!

The drummer, who is widely considered to be one of the most innovative and influential drummers in rock music, co-founded Cream in 1966 with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce.

Baker was named number three on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time list, and is the subject of the documentary Beware of Mr. Baker.

“Gifted with immense talent, and cursed with a temper to match, Ginger Baker combined jazz training with a powerful polyrhythmic style in the world’s first, and best, power trio,” said the Rolling Stone article. “The London-born drummer introduced showmanship to the rock world with double-kick virtuosity and extended solos.”

Lewisham-born Baker was known for being a mercurial and argumentative figure, whose temper frequently led to on-stage punch-ups.

His father, a bricklayer, was killed in the Second World War in 1943, and Baker was brought up in near poverty by his mother. He joined a local gang in his teens and when he tried to quit, gang members attacked him with a razor.

Baker suffered from heroin addiction, which he acquired as a jazz drummer in the London clubs of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He once told The Guardian he came off heroin “something like 29 times”.

Tributes for the drummer have been pouring in on Twitter.

Paul McCartney called Baker a “wild and lovely guy”, writing: “We worked together on the ‘Band on the Run‘ album in his ARC Studio, Lagos, Nigeria. Sad to hear that he died but the memories never will.”

Baby Driver director Edgar Wright wrote: “RIP the music giant that was Ginger Baker. The beat behind too many favourite songs from Cream, The Graham Bond Organisation and Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated.”

Rock journalist Mark Paytress tweeted: “Like Hendrix, Ginger Baker was a name synonymous w/ early days rock. Once you heard him play, saw pics & footage, he seemed to embody the music’s power, the culture’s adventure. Spending a day w/ him in 2014 magnified it all. Lost a big one this morning.”

Slipknot’s Jay Weinberg simply wrote: “Thank you Ginger Baker.”
