Design by Sylvain Mariat, Head of Airbus Corporate Jet Centre Design Studio
1. Presentation of the Airbus ACJ319 Bluejay cabin concept
The Bluejay project proposed by the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) and Sylvain Mariat, Head of the ACJC Creative Design Studio, aims to take maximum benefit from the unique space that is provided by the ACJ319. Intentionally realistic, this design has nonetheless been inspired by the avant-gardism, shapes and colours of "2001: A Space Odyssey", Stanley Kubrick's movie.
This inspiration led Sylvain Mariat to use new technologies. From the entrance, passengers enter a contemporary atmosphere, being welcomed by a fine hologram display. This new system, never before seen aboard a corporate jet, displays the name of arriving guests in soft blue tones, offering a modern complement to the classical crew welcome.
The keystone of this contemporary cabin is the use of light and space in perspectives that can be modulated via translucent partitions between the forward lounge and the dining area. These partitions use the latest generation of switchable glass, going from transparent to translucent, and vice versa. This system offers a wonderfully flexible cabin arrangement that can be modified on-demand, via a simple on/off switch, offering social interactions or privacy, depending on passengers' mood.
The partitions also act as a loudspeaker, using a technology that make the glass vibrate like a diaphragm, providing concert hall-like sound. "While creating this concept, I thought of 2001's soundtrack and imagined how it could be fantastic to listen to the opening from Richard Strauss' tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra", says Mariat.
The contemporary design is also highlighted by the use of innovative decorative and furnishing items. The master piece is a decorative light made by the French crystal house Baccarat, using fibres of carbon and crystal, emphazing the contrast of delicate and strong. Nested at the heart of a flat carbon fibre surface, the fine light of the crystal glows from the central solar sphere, surrounded by a constellation of LED pendants. For the VIP seats, Mariat was inspired by the avant-gardism of the revolutionary Lounge Chair & Ottoman made by the famous American designer Charles Eames.
To offset the contemporary atmosphere, Mariat worked on a traditional symbol of travel: the trunk. "I wanted it to represent the ancestral French know-how of trunk manufacture, by using leather, wood and crystal inserts", says Mariat. The interior padding, made of nubuck, allows owners to offer their guests the finest Baccarat glassware and other prestige items.
Social interactions were also an important concern for Mariat, whose work in the dining area led him to create a High-Low table, recently developed by ACJC's Design Office team. This new dining table uses special extensions at its extremities to seat five people without adding new seats (the baseline table seats four).
As gastronomy is an important part of a convivial atmosphere, Mariat has dedicated a special U-shaped galley to offer a spacious separate area to the crew, where they can work with ease. "ACJC's design office had previously developed a U-shaped galley - the first one on an Airbus ACJ aircraft – so I wanted to improve again on this specific know-how to offer a real kitchen in which to cook marvellous meals for guests", explains Mariat.
Mariat has also used a specific shape in a private area: the washroom. "I really wanted a very contemporary design for this area, which must be both spacious and ergonomical. That is the reason why I designed a large square shower, with glossy paint and metal, which is very bright and airy", he adds.
For this cabin project, the refinement is essentially made by the difference of textures, rather than the use of several colours and opulent materials. Clear tones and noble materials are mainly used to enhance space, with carpets made of silk and wool, VIP seats upholstered with the highest quality leather, smoked oak with satin varnish in combination with a glossy paint for furnishing. "Luxury and space are the basics, but the added value of a designer goes also from an initial perception of emotions to the final attention to details. My goal is to create a harmony, an ambiance, a place where luxury is not only about precious materials and opulence but refinement, good taste and elegance", says Mariat.
This elegance is strengthened by the external livery concept created by Mariat. "As I used cold colours in the cabin, I wanted to extend this concept to the external livery. I chose a very contemporary combination of blue tones and silver, directly inspired by the plumage of a beautiful and refined bird called the Bluejay, which is also the concept's name", he adds.
"Each design I produce at the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre - like the one presented here - is unique, optimised, tailor-made, a one-of-a-kind product that provides the best balance between the owner's taste, function and technical constraints, such as weight & balance, certification, systems, safety, etc. This realistic cabin concept is a good example, combining all these features", concludes Mariat.
2. Airbus ACJ319 Bluejay creative design special features
The VIP seat
Lounge Chair is one of the most famous designs created by Charles and Ray Eames. Created in 1956, it is now a classic in the history of modern furniture. The ACJC Design Studio has decided to reinterpret it for its ACJ319 Bluejay cabin concept.
This unique VIP seat inspired by Eames' Lounge Chair combines ultimate comfort with both top of the range materials and the highest excellence of workmanship. Following the tradition of the English club chair - which inspired the classic design of Charles and Ray Eames' Lounge chair – the VIP seat designed by Sylvain Mariat features a dark wood veneer in smoked oak and light grey leather. With high quality leather, bright satin finish for metal plating and oak veneer in a light satin finish, this new interpretation of Eames' Lounge Chair harmonises perfectly with the Bluejay cabin concept light-coloured interiors.
The kitchen area
To guarantee an exclusive ambience offering unequalled luxury and convenience in the ACJ319 Bluejay cabin concept, the ACJC Design Studio has decided to improve a new generation of U-shaped galley, offering a spacious separate area concept to the crew. "ACJC's design office had previously developed a U-shaped galley - the first one on an Airbus ACJ aircraft – so I wanted to improve again on this specific know-how to offer a real kitchen in which to cook marvellous meals for guests", explains Mariat.
The ACJC Design studio has chosen a worktop in satin-finish glass, providing an exciting contrast with the warm driftwood frontage of the galley. The aluminium backbone of the kitchen unifies the wood and glass materials, creating a sophisticated, practical and purist design.
This luxury kitchen concept has been developed in cooperation with the ACJC Design Office team. The team has particularly worked on an innovative handleless unit concept: a precision system automatically opens and shuts the galley's doors in response to a slight push. Doing away with handles emphasises the furniture's uncompromisingly purist look.
The master bedroom and washroom area
The master bedroom concept includes a queen size bed and a large sofa, all topped by five reading lamps. The Baccarat decorative light is used again in this private area to enhance the aesthetic style of this contemporary room. As in the rest of the VIP cabin, the latest technologies are present with a 46-inch HDTV flat display and an iPod docking station.
The VIP bathroom features a granite vanity and an oversized glass shower. "I really wanted a very contemporary design for this area, which must be both spacious and ergonomical. That is the reason why I designed a large square shower, with glossy paint and metal, which is very bright and airy", Mariat explains.
3. Interview of Sylvain Mariat, Head of ACJC Design Studio
What is your definition of design?
"My objectives are not only luxury and space, they are certainly the basics but the added value of a designer goes also from an initial perception of emotions to the final attention to details. My goal is to create a harmony, an ambiance, a place where luxury is not only about precious materials and opulence but refinement, good taste and elegance.
Another aspect of my work is focused on wellbeing of passengers and ergonomics that are also major drivers to be taken into account without which the most beautiful cabin would be nonsense.
All of the above makes that each design is unique, optimized, tailor-made, a one-of-a-kind product that provides the best balances in between the owner's taste, the functionalities and the technical constraints (weight & balance, certification, systems, safety, etc).
Despite being involved in a large number of different projects, my final goal is always the same, that to express the order and in an essential way, the simplicity. By simplicity I do not mean minimalism but obvious fact. I am used to mentioning a quote from the French philosophe Gaston Bachelard: We can indeed draw the simple only after an in-depth study of the complex."
How do you find inspiration?
"First of all, I am curious by nature and I always examine the world with my eyes wide open. When I was child, I was fascinated by the atmosphere of the aeronautics; it is a universe of curves, tubes, colors and objects with organic forms.
For a VIP cabin programme, my inspiration is mainly based on the customer's history and culture, in order to subtly reflect them in the cabin design. To have a clear image of what he wants, we have developed within the Creative Design Studio of Airbus Corporate Jet Centre our own trend boards to anticipate the future trends of luxurious products. We define several kinds of ambiance by means of various pictures of cars, clothes, watches, jewels, architecture concepts, etc., so we present them to the customer. This is the first tool supporting the prospective approach to discover what the specific design intent of what a customer wants.
Drawing my inspiration from various fields like luxury hotels, automotive, travels and jewellery, I am always looking for the latest innovations in materials, colours and shapes. Having travelled a lot and designed VIP cabins for a worldwide clientele, I am now experienced in creating eclectic designs."
What is the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre Design Studio characteristic?
"The ACJC Creative Design Studio uses the best of tradition and modernity to provide the highest quality of upholstery and cabinetry for our clients' aircraft.
As in an haute-couture workshop, I work in close cooperation with the highly specialised craftsmen of ACJC, some of whom are the only ones in the world with such know-how.
Together, we use a wide range of high quality materials including metal, wood, fabrics, stone and more. We make all those noble elements coexisting with pioneering solutions like, for instance, optic fiber mixed with wood. This know-how positions us as a leader in innovation. It is what makes us a leader in new decorative process. For instance, we have recently obtained the certification green light about the first real Chinese Lacquer, thanks to the good work of our Material Department.
But artistic design and materials are nothing without the last innovative systems on-board like moodlighting, live TV, AVOD, Satellite communications for Internet and telephony with Wi-Fi access. Our clients know well what the real VIP standard is in term of materials and systems. Of course, anything which is commonly used at home on the ground is required to fly in our cabins. I would say that state-of-the-art quality is the key."
4. Airbus Corporate Jet Centre
Dedicated to providing quality cabin-outfitting and innovative packages of customised nose-to-tail services for Airbus ACJ family aircraft, the Airbus Corporate Jet Centre (ACJC) is small enough to provide personal service to customers, with around 270 employees, but is also backed by the full resources of its shareholder, Airbus, the world's largest manufacturer of modern airliners.
Based in Toulouse, France, ACJC has already contracted with prestigious customers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It attributes its success to a strong technical background, plus highly skilled employees that have now completed thirteen ACJ cabins. Including former EADS Sogerma deliveries, Airbus Corporate Jet Centre is now the world leader for ACJ319/ACJ320 VIP cabin completion having delivered 24 VIP cabins for Airbus aircraft.
The Airbus Corporate Jet Centre also specialises in tailor-made services and maintenance for ACJs, including the A320, A330 and A340 families. Increasing its teams and the capacity of its facilities, in 2009 the company launched "VIP Pass", a package of nose-to-tail services developed for executive and private operators of Airbus corporate jets.

By lovinit

Hard to tell from the image, but these glasses have a distinct look. People comment on them regularly. They stick on your face, and are relatively durable. I have several pairs of Tifosi sunglasses, and these are my favorite - although they are also probably the cheapest.

Not Fototec
By bikerider

About Me Comfort-Oriented, Practical
I bought these because many of my bike rides overlap sunrise or sunset. They are listed on the Nashbar site as "Fototec." They are not. They are nice darkly tinted sunglasses, but they are not going to meet the need for which I purchased them. I would recommend to a friend, but not if they are looking for "Fototec" lenses.

I just read an article about it, how its bigger but actually lighter than the current TT. That, and the weight balance has been improved too. I'd still rather have an RX-8, but the 3.2L with the AWD and the DSG gearbox, looks like it could be a lot of fun. The 2007 S3 looks pretty cool too, too bad its only in Europe. With the new 2.0L Turbo 4, with 265HP.While I much preffer real Manual cars, I think the DSG tranny is pretty cool. I think the A3 and TT are the cheapest cars on the market, to offer a true seqential manual gearbox in a car. So maybe they're worth the extra $$$ after all. . . but I don't think so.
I heard that there is a possibility that Audi will add TTS and TTRS (like the A4, S4, and RS4 models) high-performance models to the TT line-up. That would kick ass.
[image]http://ohv.prettyblack.jp/1971roadrunner2.jpg [/image]
those trim levels would give it the power it should have in base form. if they could get close to 300 hp out of this thing it would be an awesome car, but sure not gonna pay that sticker for 250hp...
That new S3 looks friggin sweet. It may be time to start modding my car just to keep up with the cheapest S Audi is going to make.
Quote:That new S3 looks friggin sweet.
Quote:Quote:That new S3 looks friggin sweet. Oh yeah! God I hope it comes to the US.
Quote:they've already said it isn't...
I think we will see the S3, just not in the first couple years of production.
i know read an article in the past couple of days that made it sound final that the S3 wasn't coming to the US but i cant find it so i'll let it remain speculation and not argue. i hope the S3 does come, its an awesome car.
The only reason I can see them NOT bringing it here is that it might step on the toes of the forthcoming R32. Time will tell.
i'd take the S3 over any R32 any day... i hope they bring it over because i dont think an audi is gonna be stealing sales away from VW, if anything it would be the other way around and there would probly be enough of a price difference that someone looking at an R32 wouldnt even consider the S3. i havnt actually looked up pricing but the S3 is gonna start above $40K.
The last R32 was pricd in the mid 30s. Maybe they aren't worried about stepping on the R32's toes, but the r32 robbing sales of the S3. America STILL hasn't gotten the hot-hatch bug that the rest of the world has....a 40K hatchback is going to have a difficult time despite it being a GREAT car with a ton of room. I blame the Gremlin and the Yugo.
honestly, the only thing you can blame it on (besides the Gremlin and Yugo... horrible cars, along with the Hornet) is the fact that our country is young enough that our city planners are able to design our communities to accomodate huge cars and SUV's. there really arent too many parts of the country where its beneficial enough to have a small car to justify the lack of cargo space over a larger car or SUV. think about it, i have no problem getting a full-size half-ton around the city or parking it in garages, it has a huge cabin, i can see over most other cars, plus i have the utility of a pickup, why would i trade that for a small hatch that costs more, plus have to have a second insured car just sitting at my house. of course fuel economy is one thing, my 5.4L Triton V8 doesnt get the best mileage, but those hothatches dont get amazing fuel economy either and honestly, as long as gas is under 4.50-5.00 a gallon i'll be driving a V8. i'm sure if i lived in a place like boston where everything is so much more crowded i'd have a different opinion, but truth be told, only major NE cities actually have a need for more small cars. thats my 2 cents.
except the VW would be stepping on the toes of the Audi. The more expensive brand doesnt step on the toes of the cheaper one

700 rev swap
Has anyone here done the 700 twin swap from a zx chassis into a rev chassis? As soon as I locate a donor sled for a fair price, I will be doing so. Just looking to see if anyone has any advise on the swap.

Have not done it myself, but see it done on dootalk allot. Seems like you just put the 700 top on the 600 bottom.
I would love to drop a yamaha 700 trip/trip in one. Please let us know how it goes.
Hay, look at me... I have a signature.....

That swap sounds like a lot of work. If you're still looking for a chassis, check this out.

I don't need a chassis. My REV 600 SDI has blown up four times, and I don't want to put another one in it. The 700 has similar power, but with a more bullet proof engine. I just want the stupid thing to be reliable like it's supposed to be, and the 700 looks to be a fairly easy swap.
Oh well, it's on the back burner now. I picked up a new XP.

I'm hunting for a 500ss right now, and I've been researching them like crazy for 5 days.
Are you sure you don't have a ripped boot or cracked y-pipe?
|January 24th, 2011, 07:01 PM
Balls Deep
It is a 2004 renegade X 600 SDI. When I bought it, it had 2200 miles IIRC. It was just out of the Ski-doo dealer with a new ski-doo replacement engine. This engine lasted 400 miles, and the left cylinder had a wrist pin cir-clip fall out of the piston, and destroy the cylinder, piston, head, etc.
I ordered parts from "The Sea-Doo Clinic" in Coldwater. I ordered a cylinder, SPI pistons, a head, gaskets, ISO-FLEX, V-force reeds, etc. While waiting two days for the parts to show up, I tore down the bottom end to inspect the crank, crank seals, oil pump drive, etc. Everything checked out well within spec, and had the crank straightened from .03 out to .00x even though .03 was within spec.
When the parts showed up I assembled everything and it went together quite well. I inspected the Y-pipe, the expansion chamber, throttle bodies, sensors, etc, and found no damage or heavy wear on anything.
That engine ran well, and made it 600 miles, and the right side lower rod bearing and thrust washers decided to lock up and come to a screeching halt.
I was less than thrilled and did not want to put another 1500 bux in parts into it, so I purchased a 600 mile stock original engine via E-bay, craigslist, forum or something. I am very sure this was a stock engine, and condition wise it fit with the 600 mile claim.
This engine ran pretty smooth, but after putting almost exactly 1000 miles on it, 50 of it this season, a circlip again fell out and destroyed everything.
I know everyone claims the SDI is the best engine ski-doo has ever made and all this crap, which is why I searched for one when I was looking for a new sled. I don't buy it. The Circlip issue is well known, for both the SDI HO, and the carbed HO. Apparently the circlip grooves aren't deep enough to keep the clip contained when the piston gets hot faster than the clip. I think the midrange runs hotter on the SDI than the carbed version, because it is tuned right on, whereas carbs generally run rich in the midrange, and splash more cool fuel. This also explains why the SDI's have the glowing red muffler issue. (when run very hard with lots of accel/decel, (tight twisty trails) the muffler gets hot enough to glow red, and boil the nearby brake fluid)
If you ride like pussy, the SDI will likely serve you well for a long time, but if you ride it like an X-package sled was meant to be ridden, problems will be likely.
The 500SS is a great engine though. the 500SS, while really just the non "HO" 600, keeps the small block bottom end with Iron bores, proper circlip grooves, and a long term reliability record. The 700 twin in the ZX chassis is built the same as the 500ss, although on the big block bottom end, also used by the 600HO. I think a 700 REV would be ideal, with the power of a 600HO, a touch more torque, and solid reliability of iron bores.
Two days after it came apart this last time, I found a local dealer with the sled I was looking for. I picked it up that afternoon, and have been loving it since, although two days after picking it up, all the snow melted.
It is a 2010 Renegade X 600 E-tec, with the dealer swapped 1.75" track that the back country comes with. It had a thousand miles on it, but being a dealer sled, Ski-doo considers it a new sled and allowed me to purchase an additional three year warranty.
CC- I would certainly recommend a 500SS. I would have been happy with one when I bought my SDI, but I need an X-package sled and not having one is not really an option for me, so the SS was out.

You picked up a great XP. I have a 09 Renegade X 800R, wish I had the 1.75 track. Do yourself a favor, I ride mainly off trail and upgraded to the Pilot 6.9's with a set of shaper bars and disconnect my sway-bar. Really helps the front end float! Also I went with a Skinz float plate, it's alot bigger/more coverage then the BRP skid plate.

Facebook is reported to be testing out a new money-grabbing feature on its social network, charging users a $1 fee to send messages directly to the inbox of non-friends, thus ensuring they're not labeled as spam.
The pilot scheme is currently only available to users based in the US, and so far can only be used by individuals, which thankfully means that brands can't pay to spam our inboxes – yet!
According to the Facebook, the scheme basically makes sure that messages land directly in a user's inbox, which means they'll be seen as soon as the intended recipient logs into Facebook, rather than going into the seldom-visited 'Other' folder.
Here's Facebook's explanation of the new 'feature', as described on its official blog:
"This test is designed to address situations where neither social nor algorithmic signals are sufficient. For example, if you want to send a message to someone you heard speak at an event but are not friends with, or if you want to message someone about a job opportunity, you can use this feature to reach their Inbox. For the receiver, this test allows them to hear from people who have an important message to send them."
Now I wouldn't be surprised if there is a little bit of uproar over this latest profiteering move by Facebook, which comes just days after it was forced into a humiliating climb down over its plans to sell users photos on Instagram. Whilst Facebook says that the intention is to make sure that people's important messages are seen, it does seem to be a rather anti-social measure.
Efforts to reduce the amount of spam sent through Facebook are normally welcome, but doing so in way that penalizes those who have a genuine reason to want to contact someone will only serve to discourage them. Let's face it, NOBODY likes giving their money to Facebook, a brand that is widely perceived to be utterly ruthless in its quest to profit from its users. By forcing people to pay to ensure their message lands in someone's inbox, many people will simply say "no", and either look for an alternative way to contact them, or just not bother at all.
The other issue is that the feature could allow anyone with money to override a user's personal settings. It's possible to set your message filter so that you only receive messages from those people you know, but now Facebook seems to be letting people pay to bypass this filter?
No one is denying that keeping scammers and spammers at bay is a huge challenge for social media sites, but measures like this immediately raise suspicions that Facebook is once again disguising its insatiable greed as yet another 'improvement' that few people will benefit from.

I'm a member, but if I go Tuesday that will be the third time in about 2 weeks and my wife may become suspicious as to why I am going so much. She might accuse me of having an affair with the Sig. Actually, I'm running really low on ammo, but once I'm back to acceptable levels, not just one box in the safe, I'll be glad to meet up.
On a side note, the RO I was chatting with on Thursday about the place being a mad house (30 minute wait to shoot when I was leaving around 7:30) said the best nights now are Fridays. Apparently they are like when the place first opened and very few people there, unlike Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Count Down to a Thumbs Down on Keystone XL (we hope!)
Posted by Carleen Pickard in Stop Funding War, World News & Events on 13th January, 2012 | No Comments
Wait a minute! Hang on! Didn't we celebrate that Obama announced that the Keystone XL permit decision (whether or not approve TransCanada's application to build a mega pipeline to transport dirty tar sands oil from northern Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico) was off the agenda until 2013? Yes, we did.

Driver identified in fatal Hwy. 20E truck rollover
80-year-old Otis, Oregon resident died at scene
MILLICAN, Ore. - An 80-year-old semi-truck driver from Otis, Oregon died Sunday afternoon when his rig flipped along Hwy. 20E about 20 miles east of Bend, authorities said Monday.
Oregon State Police identified the driver Monday as Edgar Howard Collver, of the Lincoln County community.
According to Sgt. Keith Taylor, around 2:50 p.m., Collver's westbound 1998 Freightliner truck pulling two trailers was heading west on the highway near milepost 21 when he lost control "for an undetermined reason."
The truck and first trailer rolled onto their top, coming to rest off the highway. The second trailer came to rest partly blocking the westbound lane, Taylor said.
The driver, who was wearing his seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene, the sergeant said.
Assisting at the scene were Deschutes County sheriff's deputies, Bend and Redmond fire crews, and ODOT.
An AirLink helicopter was "auto-launched" to the crash site, but was dismissed shortly after reaching the scene when it was confirmed to be a fatality.
The westbound lane remained blocked until 10 p.m. Sunday night, with traffic being flagged past the scene in alternating directions. Check the latest status at KTVZ's TripCheck page.
The trailers were loaded with recycled vehicle parts, which spilled off the trailer, troopers said. The truck is registered to Wurdinger Recycling Inc.
In a post to NewsChannel 21's Facebook page, Consolidated Towing said it was called in to recover the semi and trailer Sunday night, with the salvage operation on the scrap cars continuing Monday.
It was the weekend's second fatal crash on Highway 20 in Central Oregon. On Saturday, two Sisters residents were killed when the driver swerved to avoid a deer and lost control, and their car was struck on the side by an oncoming pickup truck on Highway 20 just west of Sisters. Read more details in our story here.
We'll have more information on Sunday's fatality at KTVZ.COM as it becomes available, and video from the scene on NewsChannel 21 tonight after NBC's Sunday Night Football, at 10 on Fox and at 11 on NBC.

Reviews of this property
Very pleasant place to stay in Milano. Great location - 10 min walk from Duomo, If someone doesn't want to go on foot, tram and bus stop are very close to the house gate. Good connection with train and airport. Apartment is well equipped, very stylish and really quiet. Claudia gives many information about the city and generally is very helpful person (flexible hours of check-in and check-out).
very nice apartment, near to the city center (max. 15 min. walk). Claudia was very helpful and gave us a lot of site seeing hints.
We enjoyed our stay very much and we absolutely recommend this apartment.
Claudia provided we with some directions and it was more than easy to find the apartment where she already waited for me and surprised me with some breakfast and lots and lots of information about what to do in Milan.
The apartment itself is so lovely and cosy, it was quite hard to leave it. It´s situated in a fun street with lots of little shops and bars and coffees - the Navigli district is about 5min walking and Duomo 10 to 15 min walking - but there is also a tram right in front of the house.
It´s the perfect place to explore Milan by foot (or bike).
We had a wonderful stay in Claudia's lovely apartment. I would definitely recommend it.
It is well placed, the Dome is very close and there are a lot really good restaurants nearby.
Claudia is also very friendly and has good recommendations on where to dine and shop.
The apartment is very central and has many good restaurants and gelaterias in the area. It is equipped with everything we needed. The only drawback is that you can hear the neighbors coming home. Claudia was a very nice host and gave us many helpful tips to explore the city. We can recommend Claudia's apartment.
I'm verry sorry for my late mail.
We came back to Japan from Italy today,
and my tablet PC was broken during our trabel.
So that's why I didn't send you.
I'm sorry.
Anyway your apartment's location is very convenient for any sightseeing destinations.
And there are kichen utensils such as a wineopener,
they are very convenient, too.
More your apartment is comfortable,
so we could feel we had lived there even staying for only 4 days,
Thank you very much for you and your cute apartment.
we loved staying at Claudia's apartment. It is very comfortable and relaxed despite being very central and close to the historic centre. It is perfect for a couple for a long weekend in Milano. Claudia is very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend!
Apartment was beautiful. Ideal clean and charming. Lokalisation is perfect. Thank you Claudia.
This apartment is beautifully situated in the center of Milan. Everything is easily reachable on foot essential. The apartment itself is great. We received a very kind and introduced into the apartment and city. Know a great base for Milan.
Dieses Apartment liegt herrlich gelegen mitten im Zentrum von Mailand. Alles wesentliche ist fussläufig erreichbar. Die Wohnung selber ist klasse. Wir wurden sehr lieb empfangen und in die Wohnung und Stadt eingeführt. Ein toller Ausgangsort um Mailand kennenzulernen.

Excellent service!! Got my car in the next day after quoting me, brilliant service, couldn't fault them! Fixed my million problems and did my MOT all at once! Great price, thank you!! Saved me :)
They were very quick to get my van in that day and do test , van goes back in next Tuesday to have work done , seem lovely people in the garage fingers cross when it goes in
Really friendly service, job took a bit longer that expected but the mechanic that came out was really great company considering the circumstances. Would use them again without question
"When it comes to servicing your car, HiQ Banbury can offer you the premium service you'd expect from a main dealer - without the premium price tag. This means you can reduce your servicing costs without compromising your warranty.
Our Warranty Approved Servicing is carried out by highly trained technicians using parts and lubricants that match those specified as Original Equipment. This ensures compliance with the Manufacturers Warranty, so the only difference you'll notice is in your wallet. As well as great value for money, you can expect a thorough and fair service.
At HiQ Banbury we use a traffic light system in our servicing, which outlines what work needs doing, and how urgently it needs to be done. When a green light is ticked on your servicing report, the job has been auctioned and the problem is visually ok. If the amber light it ticked, we suggest that you take action when you can. If the red light is ticked the problem requires urgent action and we would highly recommend that the problem is rectified as soon as possible.
An MOT test checks that vehicles meet the road safety and environmental standards required by law. All cars over 3 years old require an MOT test every 12 months. Without a current MOT certificate, you will be unable to drive your vehicle lawfully or renew your road fund license. You can have an MOT test completed up to one month before the expiry of your current MOT without affecting your annual expiry date. You can find the earliest date to MOT your vehicle on the front of your last pass certificate. And don't forget to bring your Vehicle Registration Document (V5) with you on the day of the test.
Find your nearest HiQ Banbury MOT testing centre and book your next MOT test appointment online.

Last year before I finally placed an order to get free/lower shipping, I could not see paying so much for shipping when only ordering $30 or so of food and paying half again for shipping. Not their fault, but it's my money. I've ordered from them a few times, just gotta get enough things together to make it worth while. Great company to deal with.

Got my Mariposa for $7 priority shipping and had it unlike two days. Same for my LT4 trekking pole, and that's an even more cumbersome package. Fighting the urge to get a gorilla, I like the outside pockets of the mariposa, but don't need the interior capacity. But I digress, all of my purchases have shipped fast and for a fair price.

that makes crap sense on a quick moving, day 1 vote. trying to sway the bandwagon on a day 1 is a moronic move by a red.
Given the virtual toss up between Ryland and obhave, I dont think it would have taken much to sway the bandwagon and worth a shot.
On a separate note, why did you move from Rylan to Kraftster late?

Chicago owned the final 10 minutes of the hockey game, scoring three unanswered goals.
The well-rested Canadiens – desperately in need of points and, presumably, anxious to finally win one for their good-guy new coach – had THREE shots in the third period.
How good will they be in the third period of Thursday night's game in Winnipeg?
The Canadiens are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, two points behind the Jets, who have two games in hand.
I know it's alarmist to draw this conclusion after 35 games, but this season is going down the dumper … fast.
"Good teams make fortune go their way," Randy Cunneyworth said after the game.
Conversely, bad teams never seem to catch a break. And it is becoming painfully obvious, as the calendar year winds down, that the 2011 Canadiens are not a very good hockey team.
Wanna get really depressed? Go to capgeek.com and check out the highest-paid Chicago Blackhawks vs. the highest-paid Canadiens.
And Chicago, which leads the Western Conference and will be a Stanley Cup contender, has cap space to add a piece or two at the trade deadline.
Claude Giroux returned from injury Wednesday night. He scored a goal and added three assists.
Think that's going to happen with Brian Gionta? Or Scott Gomez?
It's a cliché you hear often on the RDS telecasts: Your best have to be at their best.
Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp and Duncan Keith played excellent games.
Mike Cammalleri didn't. The non-scoring sniper was minus-3, as was his linemate Tomas Plekanec and the team's steadiest defenceman, Josh Gorges
Gorges' D partner, P.K. Subban was minus-2. As was the case in Boston Tuesday night, P.K. made a soft backhanded pass that led directly to a goal-against. To compound his miserable evening, P.K. uncorked wild, ill-advised slap shots that sabotaged power-plays while the Canadiens were still in the game … which they were for 50 minutes … a tribute to Cunneyworth's planning and motivational skill.
But what can this coach do with the roster that got Jacques Martin fired??
The guys on L'Antichambre say Cunneyworth has to cut Subban's ice time, which was 23:28.
Fair enough.
So who joins Gorges in the first pairing? Raphael Diaz? Maybe Alexei Emelin draws in, returning to the left side while Gorges plays on the right.
P.K. is getting a lot of well-deserved stick, but defence is not the problem on this team.
The Canadiens got one goal in Chicago, two in Boston.
They are 12th in the NHL in goals against, averaging 2.63 per game.
In goals for, the Canadiens are 24th: 2.49 per game.
The David Desharnais line carries the team. Not only are the Canadiens incapable of getting six forwards going simultaneously, they rarely put together two dominant shifts in a row.
There was a sequence in the game when Toews, Kane and Andrew Brunette cycled the puck through an entire shift, using their skill and tenacity to maintain possession until they could get the shot they wanted.
How often do you see the Canadiens exhibit that kind of dominance?
Never … or hardly ever … or maybe a couple times last season.
Bertrand Raymond has written a devastating piece for the RDS web site. The veteran journalist, who has covered the Canadiens since the glorious 1970s, thinks the team has been spinning its wheels since Ron Corey fired Serge Savard, replacing him as general manager with the hapless Réjean Houle, who had no managerial experience and had been a Molson beer rep for 10 years.
Pierre Gautheir is an experienced NHL executive. But would you buy a gros Mol' from him?
Thanks to Gauthier's predecessor, Bob Gainey, the team is in a nightmare salary cap situation, locked into long-term contracts with Gomez, Gionta and Cammalleri. Gauthier has compounded the problem by signing Andrei Markov for three seasons and taking on Tomas Kaberle's contract.
To be fair to the GM, the Erik Cole deal looks good … and let's hope we're saying that three years from now.
But Gauthier is doomed, and he's run out of people to fire in order to save his job.
As we assess the chances of the Canadiens harvesting 60 points from their remaining 47 games in order to possibly sneak into the playoffs, we can draw solace from one certainty:
If there's going to be a lottery draft pick in June, Pierre Gauthier won't be calling out the kid's name.
And because Michel Therrien was joking about it on L'Antichambre, here's one that never gets old:

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Oct 2, 2009.
I'd like to be a NBA sleep coach. That's a job that I think I'd be good at.
This is a reminder, there is the Keeper draft this evening, at 8:00 PM EST
So this was my draft strategy I had Seraphin but the Wizards got bigger with Nene and Okafor. So I picked up Okafor, if he washes out, he is a drop. If Seraphin can't break through, he's a drop. I am not in love with him. Brandon Bass was a key player on my championship team last year. He's very solid if unremarkable. For a big, he shoots a great % from the FT line (73.5%) Stuckey is a dual position player, so on weeks when either Lawson or Rondo have a low game count, I can always use him as a frontline starter. He's generally a high FG% guard. Carlos Boozer is capable of 18/8 most nights, and just what I needed at PF. Brook Lopez is coming off a bad season, and I think I got him cheap. Kosta Koufos may be the starting C for Denver. This is tricky because Kenneth Faried is going to eat up a lot of rebounds at PF, and Kousfos could lose the starting position to Javale McGee. I have them both. If Koufos pans out, I expect McGee to be trade bait. If McGee starts, he's a great shot blocker, which will make up for his reduced rebound #s. Andre Drummond, homer pick. Whoever grabbed him, was probably going to keep him forever if he is any good. I had planned to make him my first pick, but because I was 10th of 10 in a snakedraft, I took him with the first pick of round 2 (second round after Keepers) Derrick Rose is awesome, if he can recover from his injury. Based on position this was a low risk high upside pick. Same thing with Brandon Roy and Michael Beasley. If they wash out, they are drops. If they recover any of their form, they are great value picks. My team as usual will be good based on how I do in FA. This is the first draft where coming off a championship, I felt like I could take some risks, and see if I could buy low and hope for high returns. Really looking forward to this season. I like ESPN's system so much better than Yahoo, and I like that the guys in this league all play hard and smart. Keeper makes the stakes and interest level higher than in a normal league.
Good job, Rascoe. Your team will be tough to beat once again. The only guy you mentioned that I was looking at was Rose. I meant to grab him earlier, but for some reason, I was in a fog for the entire draft. The backcourt of Kyrie Irving, Stephen Curry, and Dwayne Wade will be my team's strength. The Potato Skins have a few holes that will need to be addressed via trade or free agency.
Rose was a hedge pick. I don't know how much he will contribute this year, but if Lawson or Rondo go sideways and Rose regains form, I can keep him instead of the player dropping off. My possible keepers next season look like some combination of LBJ, Drummond, Rondo and Lawson/Lopez.
@ roscoe - I had Lopez in a league last year and he was definitely down. Might come back. Maybe... I too seemed to be in a fog last night. It started badly when I couldn't figure out why my computer kept playing ESPN music and then beeping. Before I figured it out and could click and grab, I had auto-drafted Al Horford. I never really caught up after that. I'm a little afraid today to take a look at my team.
From this morning's Denver Post:
If I could press the "Like" button multiple times, I would. The league appreciates the new energy you bring, as well as an easy win every 9th week.
What did Jeff Green do over the 4 hours, 21 minutes that he was a member of the Squirrels franchise to be released so quickly? Did the advanced scouts fail to do all of their research?
5:28 pm (MDT): Jeff Green's agent signs offer sheet he and Green sit down for a meeting with myself, my "crack staff", and coach Rufus. 5:45: Jeff Green's agent and Rufus get in a heated debate over which is better: East Coast vs West Coast 90's rap. The debate becomes physical. Weapons are brandished. Green's Agent backs off his East Coast stance. 6:20: Jeff Green declines a celebratory glass of Night Train upon signing his offer sheet. Rufus laughs at him and proceeds to smash the bottle over Green's head while yelling some incoherent cuss words. 7:25: After things settle down, one of my staffers suggests that we all go get something to eat. I suggest Cheerleaders, a gentlemens club with a good buffet; Green declines claiming that he's a "family man" and says something about being a big fan of Olive Garden. 7:53: We finally stop laughing at Jeff Green's Olive Garden suggestion. 8:58: We finally leave the Squirrels' practice facility after getting sucked into watching an episode of Storage Wars that was playing on a TV in the lobby. 9:17: We sit down to the Cheerleaders buffet and notice that Green and his agent never showed. We all agree that it just wasn't a good fit. We all get lap dances while eating skewers of beef. 9:49: Rufus drunk-dials his secretary and instructs her to "save me some a dat def green". She understands him to say "waive Jeff Green". ...and the rest is history.
Jimmie Harden lit up an otherize hum drum night for the Sorrows. The old mantra goes: play the guy who is going up against the Pistons. He'll have a career night.
POIS Commits to Monroe in a Big Way The hapless franchise with the most depressing name in all of fantasy basketball took a distictive step sideways today as it inked young keeper Greg Monroe to a long term deal as a regular keeper moving forward. "We're going all in with the big fella," said GM Slippy, "despite the lack of a spin move and the troubles against elite centers like Asik, we believe 'Moose' to be a cornerstone of this organization." Indeed. The team also is changing its name and revamping its branding to reflect the commitment to the 3rd year center. "Starting today, we will be known as the Talbot Street Mooseheads. We hope to better connect with the Talbot street community and we hope to streamline costs by consolidating franchise player with halftime mascot." When asked, teammate reaction was mixed. "I like the move. Opens up room for another young keeper on the team," said Bradley 'Greg' Beal who joins the team for its Nov. 5th matchup. "They're making us all wear number 10," said James 'greg' Harden, "and I'm talking to my agent about the nicknames." Giant moose hats will be handed out to the first 100 visitors to home games. Fans are recommended to leave the moose hat at home when the team visits the Denver Squirrels. "In general, do not wear your mascot gear to any game where they have 'free ammo night'" Words to live by.
I like this league a lot better than Yahoo. You have to have a long term plan. Knowing when to let go of aging stars and picking up new rising ones is key. The first season I was in the basement. The second season I made it to the championship game. Last season I ended up in the basement again. I cut KG lose to soon and the rest of my bigs went down with injuries. It is a challege trying to find the right mix of players and at the same time keeping the right mix of keeper.
Looks like Rascoe (2-7) is sandbagging to start the season to give us all a fair chance. What a guy....
I picked up singler. There were better options on the board but I think he's going to be getting more minutes/looks from the pistons. In fantasy hoops, go strong or go homer. I need to deal with the SF spot at some point. Nothing earth shaking.
Stuckey didn't help, and I am waiting to see how my chance picks pan out.
Good pick-up of Larry Sanders. I really wanted to keep him, but I have a couple of rookies (MKG, Austin Rivers) that I want to hold onto for the time being.
You know me, just making some moves. Looks like Brandon Bass has to platoon and come off the bench, so I am not sure he gets enough minutes now to be on my team.
Yea, Bass is a fish out of water if he don't get his minutes.
By missing the draft I ended up with all the injured players nobody wanted. I think I'll be scrambling all season, so I'm definitely open to trades.

text: Just thought about doing this but I need some insight. I have never wintered bees before, I have done a fair bit of reading but I need some advice. I have 2 hives, one is small and the other is quite large, both are this years nucs and its starting to get cold up here so the wintering planning has begun. I was thinking about moving the bees into a small barn that we have over the winter to keep them sheltered. The one problem is that the barn is only 100 feet away from where the bees are right now, I have been told that moving bees a short distance is not a good idea and it can cause confusion... is this the case?

Recovery in Zion
17 comments:
Wow...I really have to get out more (and Zion is on my gigantic list). AWESOME pics! You do a great job w/ your point-n-shoot! Your idea of 'recovery' cracks me up...you're a superhero for sure!ReplyDelete
Rode a new trail here in the San Jose area today: Priest Rock/Kennedy Trail out of Las Gatos. It's part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail network. Turns out the Priest Rock section is about the hardest couple of miles I can recall. Climbs up from Lexington reservoir and is either up or down (and by UP, I mean LOTS of pitches I'm guessing around 20% grade). I only went back 6 miles and was TOTALLY wasted. There's a big new network of trails in that area for me to explore on future trips in the area.
Awesome. Beautiful. Wish I was hiking there right now!ReplyDelete
Jill, these pictures are simply amazing!! I am envious of your continued adventures!ReplyDelete

I love Zion! The U.S. has so many amazing national parks but that one is definitely among my top three favorites. It's a combination of the light and the rocks, I think.ReplyDelete
Helen made me aware of your blog. It is written in an entertaining, easy to read style and the photographs are outstanding. Your mention of personal journaling struck a familiar chord. I thoroughly enjoyed this post on Zion NP. It has always been a pass through for me. One day I will set a mission to hike the Park. Best wishes on your Nepal trip. Stay safe.ReplyDelete
Zion is so beautiful - definitely somewhere to add to my bucket list of places to visit!ReplyDelete

I was watching some videos on you tube and came across this one of a cutout in Georgia:
Near the beginning he mentions a hive beetle trap he likes and sells, and then as he begins to cut out the comb you can see lots of beetles running around. So at first I thought,"well it sure is good he has traps." But then I started putting together some other observations.
The hive he is cutting out has been there a long time. It is big and he explains that it appears to have recently cast off a swarm and raised a new queen. The queen seemed to be productive, as well as the rest of the bees. The colony appeared to be in great shape, in spite of the large beetle population.
I realize there are a lot actual facts that I don't know about this hive, but it seems like the beetles were not hindering the hive at all.
I am not really sure what question I am trying to ask, maybe I would just like to hear other people's thoughts on this.

Like many above, my father kept bees when I was a kid and helping him I learned to love it. I didn't start keeping my own until four years ago. I decided I would throw out every existing beekeeping practice and experiment with what works on my own. (Many things which worked well during my fathers generation don't necessarily work now...) Anyway, I'm glad I did 'cause I do things a little different than most.
I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and have worked as an engineer for 12 years, but was laid off last April. I've decided I'm burnt out on engineering so I'll just help my wife with her business and try some sidelining in bees. I'm up to 60 hives now, and would like to double each year for several more years. Hope we don't have any more years like this last one honey-wise... it was slow. Maybe I'll move my bees to soybean fields during summer in East Arkansas if I can ever find a grower out there willing. Oh ya, I'm 39 and have 4 young kids.

The greatest being the world has ever known. All things in existence exist because hes wills them to. The Chieftan is second to no one and exists on an ethereal plane in seperate reality inaccessible to humans. The Chieftan employs the use of shamans, similarly to the way god employs the use of angels, to access the common folk, for they are naturally unable to comprehend or withstand the staggering magnitude of his being.
(pasquals wager: states) that you can only beilieve in the Chieftan, for if you did not, then you would negate your existance by removing that which created you from reality, ultimately resulting in your own inexistance in this world, thereby negating the possibility that you did not believe in the Chieftan, for you would not exist. This is how the Chieftan's omnipotence is asserted and proven. (if such a thing as proof was ever needed)

Movie Review: The Heat

It's hard to get sick of the good cop/bad cop rehash when it stars the hilarious combo of Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Director: Paul Feig
Rating: R
Studio: Chernin Entertainment / Dune Entertainment
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Demián Bichir
An odd-couple action cop comedy that pairs Sandra Bullock as an arrogant, by-the-book, socially challenged FBI agent with Melissa McCarthy, a foul-mouthed, head-cracking Boston cop who stomps all over the rules and regs?
The Heat, directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) from a script by Katie Dippold (Parks and Recreation) might as well have the words "cookie cutter" stamped all over it because any self-respecting action fan will recognize the flick's every beat, action sequence, double cross and plot twist from movies like 48 Hrs. and Lethal Weapon. The gimmick here, aside from the amped-up cussing and gross-out scenes, is that female stars play the sparring partners who come to realize their similarities and to respect each other's differences before the final fadeout.
Although the sporadically hilarious movie's cast is stuffed to the gills with improv comedy aces like Tony Hale, Michael McDonald and John Ross Bowie, in Bullock and McCarthy it has its most potent secret weapon. Bullock may be pretty much exhuming her Miss Congeniality shtick and McCarthy is recycling bits and bobs of Bridesmaids and Identity Thief, but the actresses' shared chemistry, crack comic timing and sheer likability make much of the movie irresistible. Well, almost.

New York Times reporter barred from leaving Afghanistan
New York, August 19, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by reports today that Afghan authorities have banned New York Times correspondent Matthew Rosenberg from leaving the country, according to news reports. Rosenberg is based in Kabul and Washington. His most recent story, published on Monday, alleged that some Afghan officials were threatening to seize power in the country if the impasse in recent presidential elections was not resolved. Rosenberg told CPJ via Twitter today that the attorney general's spokesman informed him of the travel ban after first communicating the news to the local news channel Tolo.

Reality Check: Peterson Ads Are A Stretch
MADISON, Wis. - In our Reality Check Series, News 3 examines an ad that draws the battle lines in a state senate race.
The seat belonged to 20-year lawmaker Chuck Chvala. He isn't running again, yet, he might have a huge impact on this election.
Republican Eric Peterson is running an ad linking Chvala to the Democrat trying to replace him, Rep. Mark Miller.
The ad begins, "Chuck Chvala is leaving office following indictments for 18 felonies, including extortion. Insider Mark Miller gave money to Chuck 11 times."
This claim is true.
Chuck Chvala is charged with 18 felonies, however it's very important to point out that he hasn't been convicted of anything.
It is true that Miller gave Chvala money, but it was very small amounts.
Miller donated to Chvala's campaign 11 times over the last decade, although never more than $60.
The next part of the ad claims, "Which Chvala used to pay for high-priced lawyers."
This is misleading.
Foremost, those 11 donations add up to a total of $345, and all came at least 10 months before Chvala was charged.
In July of 2003, Chvala transferred $35,000 into his legal defense fund. Miller's total combined donation of $345 is so small in comparison; it would be hard to believe Miller's money had any impact on Chvala's defense.
The ad goes on to say, "Miller even took Chuck's bucks for his own campaign."
This claim is based on one donation of $50 from Chvala to Miller in 1996.
News 3 consulted with two political watchdogs, Common Cause in Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign. Both say this donation is insignificant.
One member of a watchdog group said, "This is smaller than small potatoes."
As leader of the state Senate, Chvala often doled out $1,000 to help candidates win. However, he almost always helped Senate candidates.
Miller, until now, always ran in the assembly.
There's yet another claim in this ad.
"And Miller voted with Chuck more than 90 percent of the time and co-authored a bill with him to raise taxes by $37 billion."
While factually correct, this statement is also misleading.
Those same watchdogs say since Miller and Chvala represent the same constituents, it would be surprising if they didn't vote the same way.
Plus, they say, "Ideological beliefs and corruption aren't tied together."
The next sentence is also misleading.
"Chvala and Miller both sponsored Senate Bill 133."
That bill created publicly financed universal health care.
Which means that instead of paying insurance companies, individuals and businesses would pay the state which would negotiate for better prices.
Under the bill, the public would pay $37 billion in 2007.
Because the money goes to the state and not to insurance companies, Peterson counts it as a tax increase.
The bottom line is that Peterson's links are considered "a big stretch" by the non-partisan Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
"I haven't tied them together," said Peterson. "They are tied together. He praised him (Chvala) in March for being such a great senator. Nineteen felony counts to me is not a great senator."
"The fact that Chuck is having some legal difficulties which still has to be resolved has nothing to do with issues that are facing us," Miller replied.
