Juegos Nocturnos represents an important period in the artist's trajectory. The artist himself considered it a major example in the development of his oeuvre, to the extent that he explicitly requested it for a retrospective held throughout several galleries in Bogotá in 1991 to mark the 50th anniversary of his artistic production.
This painting was finished in early 1957 in Florence, where Enrique Grau studied and lived for several years. Afterwards it was included in a solo exhibition in Rome, and was also part of several individual and group exhibitions. For many years, it had not been shown and was only discovered in a Boston gallery in 1974, along with other paintings by the artist from the same period.
Born in Cartagena, Colombia, in 1920, Enrique Grau has participated in many exhibitions outside his country in places such as Mexico City, São Paulo and New York. As a young artist, Grau traveled to New York where he studied at the Art Students League and throughout the late 1950s and 1960s, his work was shown extensively internationally; he officially represented Colombia in the Venice Biennial in 1958 and the São Paulo Biennial in 1959. Marta Traba singled out his singular talents and acclaimed his pictorial language.

In 1992 the movie western was dead. So, many thought Clint Eastwood was drinking in the Last Chance Saloon when he announced plans to direct the revisionist tale of a burned-out gunfighter. But Hollywood forgave him when "Unforgiven" turned out to be a critical and commercial hit. Ten years on and it's been given a DVD release to match, with quality documentaries that take you behind the scenes of a modern classic.
Picture This might be the 10th Anniversary DVD release, but the film looks as if it were made only yesterday, in a beautiful picture transfer.
Sound As observed in the commentary, this is a "very stormy movie". This provides a great excuse for a stunningly moody 5.1 mix with long rolling claps of thunder that rumble around the room, while rain lashes at the rear speakers. This is one of those mixes you can just lose yourself in.
Audio Commentary Richard Schickel, film critic and biographer of Clint Eastwood, provides an audio commentary studded with self-indulgent chuckles. Otherwise he's on hand to point out the few changes made from the book, and add some technical information on the shoot.
Additional Extra Features Also on disc one is a trailer, a cast and crew list, and a lengthy awards list.
Disc Two Special Features
Making "Unforgiven" Made back in 92, this original documentary follows the rainswept production shoot. Not even a Native American raindance could get the heavens to open, so an army of rain machines had to be employed.
Clint strides around looking thoughtful while his crew anticipate his every move. Most of them have been with his Malpaso production company for years and, as a result, the shoot runs like clockwork. You get to see some of the action shots being put together and, as you'll find out, dialogue exchanges on horseback are invariably shot with the actors sitting on ladders. Horses just don't stand still for long enough.
All on Accounta Pullin' a Trigger This new retrospective 22-minute documentary looks back on a film that Clint describes as, "everything I wanted to say in a western but couldn't." Despite the critical and commercial success of the movie, the script was floating around for 22 years. Clint's company originally passed on it because one of his script readers said it was too violent.
Eastwood...A Star This 16-minute featurette on the career of Clint Eastwood is the type of jazzed-up naff TV programme The Simpsons tend to parody. The presentation is jarring, with a booming voice-over that spouts drivel like ""Unforgiven" was not an easy film to make". Yeah well, this isn't an easy featurette to watch.
Eastwood on Eastwood Richard Schickel's hour-long documentary on Clint is far superior to the above featurette when it comes to objective detail. It's also notable for featuring Clint's rare early performances.
Clint apparently had no burning ambition to act during his younger years. But then that's hardly surprising when he was given silly roles in films like, "Revenge of the Creature". It was TV work that really kickstarted his career - also providing many a great clip here. Interestingly, while this programme does mention the bad as well as the good, it doesn't delve into the downright ugly. ("The Rookie" anyone?)
Maverick Episode Catch a classic episode of US TV show Maverick, featuring a young Clint.

My husband and I took my parents to Queenstown for 4 nights over New Years. We had really high expectations for the Hilton, and this was our splurge for the trip. We had a 2 bedroom apartment booked. When checking in the woman on the reservation desk was very lovely. Knowing that New Year's Eve is a crazy night, I asked at this time what would be the best way to head into town, I was advised that the hotel ran a shuttle and I could book that the day before. So on the 30th I called the front desk to book the shuttle and was told that if we wanted to take the shuttle then the only time available was 3:30 in the afternoon, well that didn't quite work with our 8:30pm dinner reservation. Once we got to our room we were a bit disappointed. A two bedroom apartment turned out to be a 1 bedroom and one room that had two walls and two sliding doors that closed it off from the lounge, but was obviously not big enough to be a room of its own. The 2nd bedroom with the sliding doors was exceptionally stuffy as it had no windows nor did the whole room have any air flow or air conditioning. My husband and I ended up having to sleep with the sliding doors open and open a window in the lounge just to be able to breath. There is only free WIFI in the hotels public areas, which meant that my parents traveling from overseas needed to either pay extra for it in our room or anytime we went for a meal at the hotel they would spend the first bit of time checking emails etc instead of socializing. All in all the hotel is fine, but it feels like it things were just never finished and that they are trying to make money back at every turn instead of providing the guest with the best experience possible.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- From the moment you set foot inside the Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa, you'll discover a place that not only celebrates the world-renowned beauty of this region, but immerses you completely in that beauty.

The only hotel positioned directly on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa faces north, delivering full afternoon sun and showcasing panoramic views over an unspoilt terrain famed the world over. Watch the deep blue hues of the lake shimmer and glisten and savour this most intensely beautiful destination. In the heart of vibrant Kawarau Village and just 15 minutes via lake or land from Queenstown, you'll enjoy effortless access to all the excitement on offer in the region - and the closest accommodation to The Remarkables. ... more less

A code of rules is presented in concise form which, if faithfully followed, will protect both the individual and society.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki--son of a giant--blood brother to Odin and a trick...More

The Arcanum of the 'fallen angel' Lucifer evokes such concepts as heresy, rebellion, pride, liberation from the bonds of demiurgic oppression, and impetus for human evolution. Meaning 'light bearer', Lucifer has, from his earliest origins, been hailed by religious and artistic countercultures as a patron saint of enlightenment -- the essential quality embodying overthrow of ignorance and the inspired process of revelation. Allied to ancient Gnostic cosmological concepti...More

The Nonduality Highlights http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NDhighlights/
It's great to see people marching for solidarity and sacred lands, building real-life communities, travelling to teach, going on the radio, in other words, living nonduality. All these activities are given space in this issue.
Scott Kiloby's in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I went to see him speak last night. This weekend he is leading his Living Inquiries event. From Scott's website he writes:
Scott is reaching out to all people who are suffering or seeking or cannot seem to find fulfillment in this life, no matter where they go or what they do. He is bringing a very simple approach called the Living Inquiries to cities across the nation. These inquiries contain three elements and one question and are used in different ways to free you from the entanglement of seeking, addiction, anxiety and every other form of suffering. Come see this approach in action for yourself. Scott is not teaching anything. He is merely showing you how to look into your own experience and recognize a joy and freedom that cannot be captured in words.

Our most recent Nonduality Network Talk Radio show may be heard here:
Topics: Canadian Thanksgiving, Autumn, everything knowing That, the Science and Nonduality Conference. What is Breema all about? Andre Krylov: Simple Truth in Tranquility of Peaceful. A vibrant call from David in Cambridge, Massachusetts, peering into his open awareness meditation meetup group. David reads a poem he wrote inspired by friendship.
Mark your calendar to listen to our show this Wednesday, October 23, from 12:30 to 1:30PM EST. We'll feature coverage of a solidarity march Mandee and I attended, whose purpose was protest and bring attention to proposed fracking on lands which the Mi'kmaq native people of Elsipogtog, New Brunswick, consider traditional hunting ground. The Mi'kmaq fear fracking will damage the environment and specifically the water supply. I felt my participation in this march was a chance to remind people of what is sacred, much as what we do in each issue of the Highlights.
A one minute video is shown here:
We'll have much more, including interviews, in our radio broadcast this coming Wednesday.
One of the original ten members of Nonduality Salon, David Hodges, now runs the Nonduality page on Reddit. Visit, contribute, enjoy.
Big thanks to David for including issues or portions of issues of the Nonduality Highlights on his page. At the same time I'll be scouring his site for material for the Highlights! hmmm
David Hodges started Outermost Village Green, in Vermont, which "is an Intentional Community dedicated to transformational living through spiritual growth, the arts, healing and sustainable living. Our goal is to build, together, a way of life that is mutually supportive of the individual as well as of the whole."

This is from the blog:
The Heartbeat of Community
It is late Sunday afternoon. A community member is in the kitchen, cooking for the community dinner . As the time approaches 6:30, people drift into the kitchen. The dining room table gets set. Or, if the weather is warm, the picnic table out on the deck is prepared. People supply themselves with their favorite drink and we sit down for our weekly community dinner and meeting. There are the usual sounds of food being dished up and plates passed. There is a lot of random chat and a good deal of laughter. It feels great to me to have our whole group together, to see 7 or 8 faces around the long table, to feel like this place, around this table, is where I want to be and where I am supposed to be.
Dinner over, we clear the dishes, refill our drinks, and gather again for our meeting.
The person who is chair for the week calls the meeting to order. When it is your turn to be the chairperson, you can choose to start with an activity if you want.
Activities bring us together in a special way. We have had scavenger hunts. We have played games, given massages, done craft projects or writing exercises, done listening exercises, and given presentations on things that interest us. Some weeks we are all tired and we just get on with the meeting.
After the activity, we have a check-in. We go around the circle and share where we are, what's going in our lives, how we feel. People don't interrupt during our check-in but its ok to give feedback when its over. We each get to feel that people are listening to us and are interested in what is going on with us.
Then we go to accomplishments. It is important in community to celebrate our successes, to give each member attention and recognition. So we list our accomplishments, big and small, whether they relate to our community or not. They can be such things as completing a construction project, getting eggs from the chickens, cutting, splitting, and stacking firewood, scoring an A on a test, buying something that is needed for the house, taking a trip, getting a job, and so on. Whatever they are, we are glad to hear them.
After accomplishments, we discuss upcoming travel plans, and guests that are coming to the house. This keeps us all informed about where our community members will be and who will be in the house any given day. I know for me, I like to know who is in the house each night.
If it is summer we have a garden report from Natalie and a flower report from Jaimie. In the autumn and winter we have a firewood report from Daniel. We might have a report on the animals from the various people that tend the animals.

With past previous experiences, had another pleasant dining moment. Beautiful people. Good food and juices. Good for people watching, too. Thank you.
We can only vouch for a great take-away sandwich with avocado, some veggies and bacon. That was crisp, swiftly done and a great pick-up on the way to downtown. The spot on the corner of the street seemed to attract a lot of people for breakfast, too. Service was friendly and quick, which stood out during our SA trip.
If you are in De Waterkant village you will know this little venue. It's a place to meet friends and new friends for breakfast, coffee and cakes and light lunches. The staff are lovely and its inexpensive. Dogs are welcome too!
We went for freshly squeezed juices on a Saturday afternoon. It's admittedly small and could probably get cramped on a busy day but the hideaway location makes a welcoming difference. Parking is also a bit tricky so be prepared to drive around the block a few times.
We stay in De Waterkant and this is our pick of brunch spots in that suburb. I don't think it is a destination cafe if you are staying in another part of town, but if you are local, this is a great brunch choice.
Maybe 10 outdoor tables and three inside, you can eat in sun or shade. The menu...
We stayed in a self catering house in the Waterkant area just around the corner from this corner cafe, so had breakfast here twice.
They have a nice varied menu with choices ranging from healthy options and omelettes to hearty sandwiches and yummy muffins.

Excellent fresh juices. A decent coffee (get the double shotted). Good omelettes (good choice too) and the muesli, yogurt combo combined with pleasant service - it's an excellent start to the day.
My spot to go when I don't want to think about where to go for a breakfast or a quick lunch. Fresh juices, good breakfast and most of the times a nice special for lunch. A mixture between locals and tourists. Best to be visited on a good day as inside seating is limited. The special nights with a small,...
Highly recommended - please stay cute and local. Perfect for a quiet breakfast or little lunch. Intimate and casual.
It's a nice little cafe. Service is good. Food was limited but good. Other patrons were friendly too. It's worth a visit.

Strange, Ignorant Life Forms
Total Articles: 20
When creatures from outer space visit us, we find them…oh wait. We cannot discuss that at this time. Alright, IF creatures from outer space visited us, we would find them to be very peculiar and we would find their customs to be either backward or innovative, depending upon where those customs fall along our own human history timeline. The truth is that it is very important to respect the traditions of other species, and so therefore it would be necessary to avoid referring to them as "ignorant" if their traditions fell into a more historical context from our own.
Well, among human society, we often have the same problems just among ourselves. If one of us has experienced the negative side of a lifestyle, then that person is quick to condemn it and reject it publicly. However, if they have experienced the positive side of the same lifestyle, they are quick to support it. Therefore, the exact same issue can be seen as either successful and innovative or backward and ignorant by two different people, both of whom have already experienced this lifestyle.
In the working world, it is necessary to see things in a larger context. Yes, a shipping clerk is important, but they are important for the very reason that shipping is about one third of the business operations and without it your company revenue would not exist. If you are able to see the overall context of each of your employees and their role within the business, you are able to accomplish a great deal even when everyone else is focusing on specific details.

|Reviews for The Galactic Trinity
| KageNoNeko chapter 10 . 7/12/2010
Interesting. Do we know this new accomplice or not?
| fandomLife chapter 10 . 7/12/2010
Finally you updated. I was beginning to wonder if something bad happened to you. But anyways great chapter. I loved the fact that Sammy knew about Serena being the princess and sailor moon. Them playing the game on top was hilarious. I can't wait to find out who is helping out Discord. Please hurry to update. I can't wait!
| MeganLeBlanc chapter 10 . 7/12/2010
Wonderful Chapter! I loved it, although It's sad Emma had to go back to the future :(
My first thought when the person came to help Discord was Katie, I have no idea why, it just popped into my head.
Can't wait for next chapter ! :)
| Atem's Sister Atea chapter 10 . 7/12/2010
I have to keep this review short. The Internet connection at my house is totally whackN so this review is coming from my cell phone. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon.
It's about time DJ and Katie became an item! They were driving me NUTS with their dancing around each other!
WHOA! Sammy knows abouts his sister's double life and awesome future? ! ? Cool! Does this mean that he'll be envolved with the fight against Discord? ! Does he have his own powers hidden deep within him? Guess I'll have to keep reading to find out!
I have a bad feeling about this Susan Wellington. I think she's either Sasha in disguise or other one of Discord's flunkies!
Who's the creepy guy in black? Is he really Discord's advisor in the future? Or some other evil entity out to take over the galaxy? Or is it one of our allies whose acting as a double agent? ! I just hope he's on our side! ! !
That's all I can type out for now. I'll review when I can, but it's tough doing it on a cell phone. I can't even log in to post my review! Hopefully this Internet problem at home gets fixed soon!
If you want to reply to this, try sending a private message. My phone's connected to my e-mail account so I'll be able to read it.
Anyway, AWESOME JOB with this chapter! Good luck with the next one, and with the prequel to 'What If'!
| JmacKarla chapter 9 . 7/4/2010
OMG! OMG! OMG! I can't believe that DJ and Katie are smooching! They're finally together! They're a couple! I'm frikkin' celebrating! Yes! They're together!
Trees? Seriously? Sounds like someone is having park-childhood issues… Maybe that's why Discord is so determined to ruin everyone else: his parents never took him to the park…
Finally, Rini is making sense minus her relationship issues. She told the trio the truth! What's it with Darien and the Green Jacket? Is it even lucky?
Trista is always bringing news. She must hate her job more than any of us! However the "news" she brought were good. So I guess it's not all bad. Aww…I knew it… Emma came/went to the past.
Shocking: Okay, Mina can sense everyone's bond except the one between her and her kid. Second: Sammy and Hotaru! What? My jaw just dropped to the ground. There's no way…okay there is…really? Sammy and Hotaru? UPDATE SOON!
| JmacKarla chapter 8 . 7/4/2010
Ooh! I can't believe that after all these years no one has learned to stay away from an angry Raye. Blaze, La Foret: I like those names! They have the weirdest arguments over the weirdest things... The kids were gambling. I like Katie's thinking! The Sammy Serena Saints is not true! They were just the same!
Discord has no shame! I can't believe he's not giving up. Now he's attacking Jess's childhood. What's next, attacking a future child from the other scouts? Discordd is a bastardly son of a fipping garbage can! I cannot believe that Jack and Sasha were just part of his plan for world domination. Okay, I can, but I would've have thought that he would have warmed up to them. I sympathize with the kids. Discord needs to go and jump off a brigde.
"Whatever he did, he's in the doghouse for sure. Or maybe I should say stable since he turns into a Pegasus." -clever line!
I wonder if an "Emma" is going to appear out of thin air in front of Alex. It's just a weird guess... They haven't been found have they? UPDATE SOON!
| JmacKarla chapter 7 . 7/4/2010
That's kind of cruel...you know letting the kids save the future Queen. It's kind of weird. DJ, Alex, and Katie get to see Serena pre-sailor moon, sailor moon stage, and post sailor moon a.k.a. Neo-Queen Serenity.
OMG! OMG! OMG! I can't believe that DJ and Katie are friends...again. I hope this time it can be for good. I like the two kids. They've grown on me! Yay! Katie is back to playing beautifully on the piano and DJ watched it happened and Alex and Rini's reaction were priceless! I can't believe he still hasn't told her and given back the bracelet!
No matter how many times I read a story about Serena and Darien and their bedroom life it always makes me laugh. LOL! Oh, that and hot cocoa! UPDATE SOON!
| saveme57 chapter 9 . 7/2/2010
amazing story please update soon and stop with the evil cliffhangers there driving me crazy
| ange de l'aube chapter 9 . 7/1/2010
Oh G... I've been trying to log in for the last two days... was being fail... *sighs*
I absolutely loved this chapter so many Darien-Serena moments, and the end ...SQUEE!
Finally DJ told Katie he loves her...and they kissed! *fangirl squee*
I'm just so happy for them and scared too... I have no idea what you and your muse have planed for these two, especially with Sasha now in the picture planning who knows what with discord *trembles* Thank your muse for me for inspiring you so much...
Have a nice day,

Max Osborne, who left the Permal Group for SkyBridge Capital in 2010, has returned to the fold—the third Permal vet to do so in the past few months.
Osborne, who reports to Permal's head of U.S. institutional business Shane Clifford, has been named senior vice president and head of U.S. domestic distribution. Domestic distribution had been his area during his previous stint at Permal, with a focus on traditional LP structured funds and distribution via direct purchase and broker dealer networks. It was also his focus at SkyBridge.
Osborne's appointment comes just after the February launch of the Permal Hedge Strategies Fund, a fixed income multimanager fund.
Said Clifford: "To have Max back on board is excellent news and he brings a great record from his time at SkyBridge. This is an entirely new role that is designed to develop and build-out our U.S. retail business, with further hires expected over the coming months."
Osborne is the third senior Permal alumnus to return to the firm in the past few months: Dubai-based Ahmed Nashaat recently returned to advise on the Middle East and North Africa Region and New York-based Richard Cordsen is back as executive vice president, business development.
The Permal Group manages approximately $20 billion, with offices in nine international financial centers, including New York, London, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Fishing the Diamond Lakes of Arkansas
Arkansas angler and fishing expert Billy Murray shares his extensive knowledge of the Diamond Lakes of Arkansas
The ACLU of Arkansas is paying close attention to a move by Jonesboro high school patrons to remove "The Kite Runner" from a senior English class curriculum because of its "presentation of Islam as a viable and genuine religion."
An article in the Jonesboro Sun did not name the two Valley View School District patrons who want the curriculum changed, but one is apparently a substitute teacher who learned of the curriculum while substituting in the class.
"The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini, is a redemption story about a boy who betrays his servant friend, flees Afghanistan as the Soviets rise to power and returns years later as the Taliban take over to make amends to the servant's family. The servant boy is sodomized in one scene, and that and language in the book were also named as objectionable.
As quoted in the Jonesboro Sun, the patrons complained that the book "may cause some students to question the validity of our 'one nation under God' ... Is it permissible to have a book which deals with Islam and a man's journey to receive it as truth when most schools are not allowed to teach the same in relation to the Bible?"
Attempts to reach the school board president, Dr. Brian Gray, were unsuccessful, but according to the Jonesboro Sun, a couple of board members suggested the book be kept in the curriculum but not read aloud in class.
The board will take up the issue again at its Jan. 10 meeting.
Norm Stafford, a former professor of English at Arkansas State University and a member of the ACLU board, said he will join other ACLU representatives at the meeting. He said students were exposed to "far more explicit stuff about the Penn State story," referring to the publication of allegations of abuse by former football coach Jerry Sandusky. He cited the irony that the patrons would try to ban a book whose story line is set against the evils of the rise of the extremist, book-banning Taliban.

ridgid designs "their mouths barely moved" but it was funny 2 1/2?
Simple character designs get made up for with fluid animation.
It feels a little like your earlier works, where you would try to make creative Parodies featuring SRM and Mel. Regardless, this was awesome, and the way you made fun of MLP (A show I myself don't really like) was really creative. I would definitely support more MLH stuff. Good job as always :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93kBPe H1w8c
That's funny as hell... Nice animation too (even the lip sync).... tell the truth tho, is the mouth giggle just a cheap way around animating or is that just how u wanted it?
I've been animating these dudes talking just by moving their lower jaw for like 5 years. It's just how they talk. I've done regular lip syncing too but it's an enormous pain in the ass and these characters don't really exhibit it.
That was hillarious! Stupid, but hillarious!

GNR, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Collective Soul Supergroup Plan EP
The EP revelation came during the band's "pre-concert hype" for the concert, according to a Rolling Stone South Africa's Doug Davenport who spoke with the band's ringleader Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver).
The supergroup revealed that they are currently working on writing original material for the EP as they travel across the globe performing their collective hits. However, they apparently did not offer a time table for when they expect the EP to be released.
You can read the Rolling Stone report for a full review of the show, which gives you an idea of the star power involved in this group, and also stream their exclusive interview with McKagan, here.

Future-proofing the pharmacy profession in a hypercompetitive market
Singleton, Judith A. & Nissen, Lisa M. (2014) Future-proofing the pharmacy profession in a hypercompetitive market. Research in Social and Administrative Pharmacy, 10(2), pp. 459-468.
This paper highlights the hypercompetitive nature of the current pharmacy landscape in Australia and to suggest either a superior level of differentiation strategy or a focused differentiation strategy targeting a niche market as two viable, alternative business models to cost leadership for small, independent community pharmacies. A description of the Australian health care system is provided as well as background information on the current community pharmacy environment in Australia. The authors propose a differentiation or focused differentiation strategy based on cognitive professional services (CPS) which must be executed well and of a superior quality to competitors' services. Market research to determine the services valued by target customers and that they are willing to pay for is vital. To achieve the superior level of quality that will engender high patient satisfaction levels and loyalty, pharmacy owners and managers need to develop, maintain and clearly communicate service quality specifications to the staff delivering these services. Otherwise, there will be a proliferation of pharmacies offering the same professional services with no evident service differential. However, to sustain competitive advantage over the long-term, these smaller, independent community pharmacies will need to exploit a broad core competency base in order to be able to continuously introduce new sources of competitive advantage. With the right expertise, the authors argue that smaller, independent community pharmacies can successfully deliver CPS and sustain profitability in a hypercompetitive market.

Disc Brakes and Road Bikes: Is It Worth The Investment?
There is one major benefit of disc brakes over traditional rim brakes – they brake more effectively, much more effectively. In fact, the difference is huge, particularly in wet conditions and in long descents. They've been used on mountain bikes for years and have more recently made their way onto cyclocross bikes. While the technology's inclusion in these disciplines wasn't straightforward, particularly in the case of 'cross, there has been a true polemic surrounding discs in road racing.
The question surrounding their use is whether this one major advantage is great enough to overcome the numerous disadvantages and unknowns. Of course, there are other forces at play too. For example, manufacturers have an interest in pushing new technology, especially the likes of Shimano and Sram who already have the equipment ready to go (not withstanding some major teething issues) and bike brands that are always looking for new ways to improve the rider experience and increase sales.
There was an initial testing phase during the 2015 season and widespread use is expected in 2016. The UCI has mandated certain aspects – rotors will be 160mm and wheels will be attached with through axles. These rules are in response to concerns about wheel compatibility and ensure that neutral service vehicles will only have to ask the same two questions as before (which were: front or back? Shimano/Sram or Campagnolo?). While the choice of through axles makes sense given they are stiffer and likely to be more widely adopted in the future, it will also slow down wheel changes in the event of a puncture.
Mummu Cycling believe that there are other concerns that the UCI will not be able to solve this issue with rules. A couple of these relate to rider safety. Firstly, there is a fear that rotors, particularly when hot, could cut or burn cyclists in the case of a crash. Secondly, crashes may be more frequent with a mixed peloton where some cyclists are using rim brakes and others discs, particularly in these early days. This raises the fear that accidents will occur more regularly as a result of variable stopping capabilities. While some believe this caused the crash during stage 2 of the 2015 Vuelta, there is little other evidence to suggest it will be a big problem.
The Tour Down Under is the first World Tour race that teams are able to freely use disc brakes. That said, teams have not widely taken up the opportunity. This is because the race doesn't generally have the descents or weather where discs thrive. And while Sram and Shimano are ready, Campagnolo and numerous bike brands are not. That said, the organisers will have to equip their neutral service vehicles with disc brake options just in case.
While pros will be able to use disc brakes this year, those in the lower ranks will have to wait until 2017. The rest of us, on the other hand, can enjoy the benefits now. Most brands have at least one disc-equipped road bike available, often in a comfort or endurance geometry, which generally suits those who don't race. It isn't reason enough alone to make a change but if you're not a racer and you're in the market for a new bike, choosing discs would be a wise choice.
