2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric

November 21, 2016 / Bullz-Eye Staff

Hyundai dealers in various states have started selling the manufacturer’s first ever electric cars. The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is available with a plug-in hybrid battery or an electric drive battery. The car is approximately the same size as the Elantra and shares some traits with Hyundai’s mainstream compact car. We can definitely see some identical marks on both cars, but the Hyundai Ioniq has more aluminum parts. For instance, the hood, tailgate and floorpan are similar, which helps accommodate various battery packs. We saw that the bodywork, as well as the structures, were unique on both cars.

Drink of the Week: The Communist

November 18, 2016 / Bob Westal

Okay, so we’ll conclude our series of politically themed drinks with, er, the Communist. And yeah, I forgot this was going to be my last post before Thanksgiving. I won’t even try to connect this one to the holiday.

Indeed, I’m really not in a mood to explain just what a communist is and how that’s not the same thing at all as being a socialist like H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw or Bernie Sanders. Suffice it to say, I’m pretty strongly opposed to Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist-type communists (there are a million other flavors, some of which may be more benign) and I pretty much am a socialist. You can look up the rest for yourself. I’m frankly exhausted and a little bit nervous, though hopefully the turkey and starch will be calming me down next week.

Fortunately, we have a drink that could be just the right thing for a case of nerves and for health, whatever it might be called. It’s got a relatively high fresh juice content with a fairly modest amount of sugar and less alcohol than your average classic-era mixed drink. This one comes directly from the pages of “Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails” by Ted Haigh, aka Dr. Cocktail. During this still somewhat tense and unwholesome week, it might be just what the doctor ordered.

The disadvantages of damp in your man-made shed

November 18, 2016 / Bullz-Eye Staff

Sheds are the types of structures that can accumulate damp very easily. Usually people don’t even think about damp being a problem because sheds are normally well ventilated and you don’t normally store anything valuable in sheds. However, damp is a big problem – especially with wooden sheds – and if you’re not careful, you could end up with a big problem on your hands.
