One of the effects of acquiring easy to acquire things like notebooks and cheap pens is that you often don't remember where you got them, when you got them, or what you intended to use them for when you got them. In my case, I suspect that the allure of smooth paper tricks my brain into imagining uses for the notebook. That, at least, is my explanation for how I acquired the MUJI Blank Tankoubon Notebook. (Note: "tankoubon" means that it's a standalone book and not part of a series: more on that later.)
It's a thick notebook with 184 pages of smooth, creamy paper perfect bound between thin, waxy paper covers. It's designed to be dragged around and filled with sketches and notes and random bits of wisdom. it has a build in ribbon marker and, I suspect, the covers might take stickers and other random sticky things well, although mine only ended up stained with specks of Noodler's Midway Blue ink. (Long story not worth going into.)
As I've mentioned before, I decided to start using it as a daily log/diary, mostly as an excuse to use different pens and inks.
The paper feels terrific, and for the most part is. It is not, however, fountain pen friendly at all. Even find nibs bleed through and I found I had to back each page with a piece of Rhodia notebook paper to keep from staining other pages. The bleed through never stopped me from using each page, but I can see how it would annoy others.
The main hassle with it, as with all thick notebooks that don't lay flat properly, is except for the middle of the book, you always have a large flap of pages trying to crash onto your hand as you write. This gets annoying rather quickly.
After almost a year, the notebook has begun to show its age, and it suffers from my attempts to make it lay flat. The spine has cracked in two places and pages are starting to fall out near the break.
Also, the back dozen or so pages are beginning to fall out. I'll eventually just tear them out and use them as a thinner notebook for testing pens.
I like the notebook, and if I stuck with pencils and ballpoint pens it would be perfect, especially if I hurried through it. However, it's not the style of notebook I prefer these days. There are smaller versions of these–which is odd since it's supposed to be a "standalone" notebook–with similar covers, paper and place markers that I've used and like better. I'll buy those again, but I won't get this style again.
The MUJI Blank Tankoubon Notebook is coming to the end of its days. It's replacement has already been chosen. (Also, next year its replacement's pages may get scanned and stored in something like Evernote.)

Hi all
My female Doctor has known about my Cross-dressing for quite a while now so I told her that I was thinking of coming to the practice as Rhonda, she said it was ok by her, but I never did, until she opened her own practice a short distance from the old one, so I plucked up the courage and did it. I like to get there early so I can be 1st in but there was someone waiting when I got there, by the time she was finished with him the waiting room had about 8 patients in it, so when she called me she used my male name which made everyone look up and watch me walk to her room, when I got in I said to her that I wished she had called Rhonda instead, then it clicked to her that she had made a mistake and apologised.
She thought I looked lovely in what I had on which gave me a boost. I wasn't too worried about it as I'm getting very confident when dressed, I spent the whole day dressed, did some shopping later and went to the movies. All in all, it was a good day.

B-monster Fitness Studio, Shanghai
Designed by: CROX
For client: B-Monster fitness Studio Floor area: 720.00 M² Year of completion: 2018
Submitted for: Health Club of the Year
About the Project
B-monster, a boxing fitness studio from the forefront of New York's trendy, arrived at Poly Time in Shanghai while leading a hot topic of "Dark Boxing". Undoubtedly, B-monster is the leader in the global fitness industry and "never compromise" and "fire burning" are its pronouns. CROX has created a brand-new brand image for the first fitness studio in China with the creative concept of B-monster, and also created a very dramatic sports space for boxing enthusiasts.
CROX's design is to cut through the thick walls of the urban concrete jungle so that the body and mind can be released in the darkness, and to shape boxing movement into a space sequence full of ceremonial feelings - exotic cave, red dressing room, inception gymnasium. The three spaces are linked into a complete immersive experience.
Shanghai needs to create a stress-relief arena for expressing emotions, putting aside ideas and solving problems, and to encourage the courage of city dwellers to confront reality. Go through the caves in B-monster, let us fly gravity-free in the vast black sky, and finally in the field full of music, like Muhammad Ali - Move like butterfly and Punch like bee.
What's unique about it
B-monster Shanghai looks like a huge cement block. It cuts cracks of different sizes on the cement block, which not only enriches the shape, but more importantly, it can break the isolation and cleverly close the distance between person and wall. The opening of the cracks can provide functions such as rest, experience, and display.
The biggest crack is the gate, symbolizing the entrance to exploration. Once entering, visitors feel like stepping into LASCAUX CAVE existed thousands of years ago. By collecting the works of graffiti artist Alexander Kaletski, it echoes the earliest place recording the origin of painting civilization and forms a new FREESTYLE from ancient to modern times. Straight to the corner of the cave, a sunny atrium leap to the eyes and brings a different experience.
With expectations in mind, visitors walk into the red dressing room with sparks of fire, and the rising excitement spreads. The air is full of restless mystery.
CROX has built the inception gymnasium into a stage for everyone: The sky above the large practice court is a dynamic flash of light, extraordinary feelings focus here, with the live DJ playing and dazzling lights, people here for sports are crazy, unconsciously waving their bodies, following the coach to move around and hit, to completely release the in-depth emotions of the city.

The Newsletter About Your Health And Caring For Your Body " Wish You Could Move Freely & Walk Farther? "
Put the Spring Back in Your Step Do you find it harder to walk, run or exercise? Is hip, knee or leg pain keeping you from being active? If so, understanding how your body walks and moves can be the key to putting the spring back in your step. Think of your body as a big spring that stores and releases energy with every step. The efficiency of your walk comes from the effectiveness of your flexibility, strength and balance. When any one of these is off, it affects your ability to walk efficiently and takes a lot of energy. This results in strain to different joints and makes muscles work much harder than they need to. This leads to possible pain in the back, hips and knees. It also causes fatigue after walking, even for a little while. If you are experiencing pain again after therapy, it might be because muscles or joints have tightened or become weak again. Knee pain can occur suddenly for no apparent reason or develop slowly, as the result of repetitive trauma. Knee pain occurs in different parts of the knee, depending on what structures in the knee are involved. At iMotion we can help to alleviate knee pain to help you move freely.

Lemony White Bean Salad with Prosciutto
This Mediterranean inspired bean salad has creamy white beans, salty prosciutto, parmesan cheese, peppery arugula, and a punchy lemon dressing.
Making this white bean salad with prosciutto and arugula at home could not be any easier. You can use canned beans or beans that you've cooked yourself. You could also use other beans like cannellini, great northern, white kidney or even garbanzo beans.
The ingredients for this salad are simple.
• Beans — try small white beans, cannellini, great northern, white kidney or garbanzo beans
• Arugula or another favorite salad green
• Prosciutto or other dry cured ham like serrano ham or Ibérico ham
• Crusty bread or croutons add crunch. You can leave this out if you prefer.
• Punchy lemon dressing made from Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt and pepper.
How to Make the Salad takes about 15 minutes
White Bean Salad
Make the dressing. the dressing is simple with a combination of Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together in the bottom of a large bowl. This way you can toss the rest of the salad ingredients right in.
Add the beans, parmesan cheese, and parsley. I like tossing the beans around in the dressing before adding the salad greens. You can actually follow the salad recipe through this step and then set the bowl aside until you are ready to eat.
Add the greens. Just before serving, toss the greens into the beans. This way the greens are perfectly dressed and since we are doing it just before eating, they won't turn soggy.
Serve with prosciutto and croutons. Divide the salad between salad plates/bowls, and nestle the prosciutto and croutons in. This makes the salad beautiful to look at and anyone you are serving has an idea of what's in there.

Bonds strength
Can someone explain to me why double bond is just slightly stronger than single bond? Why does not the strength between the two atoms double?

Re: Bonds strength
A double bond isn't twice as strong as a single bond because there are electron electron repulsions in the double bond that slightly reduce the strength.

Re: Bonds strength
Since there is still repulsion present between the bonds, the double bond isn't double.

Re: Bonds strength
A double bond is stronger than a single bond due to its stability and distance between the bonding atoms. Shorter bond lengths allow attractive forces between atoms to be stronger.

Re: Bonds strength
The double bond is stronger than a single bond since it is shorter, therefore having a lesser distance between each of the atoms. The shorter distance makes the bonds less likely to break than a short, single bond.

"My son has improved so much since being tutored by Kaitlyn. In such a short space of time he has gone from being incredibly emotional, fearful and resistant- when faced with reading or writing. To now getting out his work by himself, sitting at the table and being enthusiastic to complete it. His writing has improved so much – I can't actually quite believe it, and his reading is so much better – we no longer have tears of frustration and fear!!! The lessons are fun and rewarding and the homework is short but extremely effective. I cannot recommend Kaitlyn enough, my son looks forward to his lessons and is happy and proud of his progress. She has changed my sons academic life!! Thank you Kaitlyn!!!"
"My daughter has been experiencing challenges with reading and writing; what appeared to be dyslexic and decoding issues. My daughter's confidence was poor and she would often shrink when asked to or complete school work. I had been searching for someone to work one on one with my daughter, not only to assist with her reading comprehension and symptoms of dyslexia, yet to assist in building her confidence too. Kaitlyn has been supporting and teaching my daughter for 2 months and we have seen such an improvement. My daughter has begun to correct previous bad habits with the new set of skills Kaitlyn has taught Charlize. Charlize's reading has improved and she is beginning to enjoy it and take an interest in reading. Kaitlyn uses strategies and techniques that create a fun, educational environment for my daughter. My daughter "says she is awesome" and we think so too!'
Karen, Chris and Charlize Galliher.

Blackheath Village, Blackheath, c. 1900
This view looks south along Blackheath Village. The commercial centre of Blackheath developed in the early and mid-19th century when the area was expanding. This process was encouraged by the arrival of the railway - its route is in a cutting evidenced by the gap in the left hand range of buildings - which arrived in 1849.

I'm not sure how to answer this one as I don't really stash floss for color reasons. I BUY floss for color reasons --- that is, I NEED that color for a project and it isn't in my stash.
OK, I said I had a stash of floss and that is true but it does come back to my reason for buying. I do have a habit of wanting EVERY color in a floss type (e.g Anchor, Gentle Arts, Dinkie Dyes, etc.) but have failed miserably on that EXCEPT for DMC, where I am pretty close to having every color in most every floss type (cotton, linen, rayon, metallic, etc.) - I bought a complete range (from Herrschners) back when we lived in China (the 1990s), mainly because there was no place one could buy embroidery floss there (odd given the tradition of embroidery there but it appears not to be a hobby so there are no craft stores, needlework shops, etc --- or at least there weren't when we lived there), and I have added to it (and replenished it when needed) ever since. I do have a potential "surplus" of black (310) because it is the most often used for backstitch, and it is ALWAYS used for Blackwork and I was, at one time, doing two or three blackwork projects at a time!
Now, as for a color I absolutely adore... I never actually think of that in terms of floss. My favorite color is orange but I don't think I have associated that with stitchery in any way.
So, I guess my true answer to this question is there is no color that I absolutely adore and was to stash constantly!
And while I did find a source for the stretcher frames I need for three needlepoint kits I bought last October (would you believe, Hobby Lobby is no longer selling them?), I have yet to get out my needle and fabric and floss and start those new kits, or work on my WIPs... Lack of motivation (and possibly inertia) is the main problem here...

Lawn Preparation & Care
Contact Us
click here to get directions
Ensure the site is well drained and any surface debris (loose stones, weeds and old turf etc) have been removed.
The lawn will ideally need over 100mm (4 inches) of good soil: rotavate or dig to a depth of 100-200mm (4-9 inches) depending on the depth of top soil.
After breaking down any lumps, firm and level soil by treading or rolling the surface (if dry enough), then rake it.
Repeat until ground is level, smooth and evenly consolidated, but not compacted. Before laying turf, rake and spread some general purpose compound fertiliser.
We would advise not to order turf until preparation is complete.
Your turf can be ordered at least 1 day ahead of laying. We cut most of the turf on the day of collection to ensure the freshest turf.
Allow a little extra turf to allow for cutting.
Turf should be laid on the day of delivery.
Laying the turf
If the ground is dry, dampen lightly and do not walk on prepared surface.
Begin laying next to a straight edge i.e.: Patio or path and always lay brickwork style.
Place rolls end to end. Ensure turf is not stretched but butted tightly against pieces already laid.
Pieces at the end of a line that are too long can be cut and placed at the start of next line. walk on boards so as not to damage the new turf.
When lawn in place, firm new turf down tamping with a flat board.
Ensure new lawn area moist and water if necessary.
Establishing your lawn
Trim edges of the turf with a spade around trees and paths.
Exposed edges of the turf can be covered up with topsoil to stop the edges drying up.
Early turf care
Water in the early morning and/or the evening, when necessary. Use a sprinkler to achieve even watering.
Ensure that the turf and soil remain moist so that the new roots grow quickly.
When the lawn is established,water well but be careful not overwater in dry weather.
Too much water too often will encourage shallow, weak roots and can encourage weeds.
First steps in turf maintenance
Once the roots have knitted into the soil and the grass is growing well, lawn maybe lightly mowed.
Trim no shorter than 25mm (1 inch) in the first season.
Fertilise new established lawn in spring , summer and autumn.
Whether you choose a cylinder or rotary mower, ensure the blades are sharp and correctly set up.
Tip: Use a box to collect clippings and a roller to create neat stripes and a flat lawn.

Mirador & Best Alhambra Views
The Mirador of San Nicolas is one of those must see locations in Granada. The views of the Alhambra palace, the city of Granada and the Sierra Nevada mountains can all be seen from this overlook.
It is one of the most captivating views to be found in Spain. I have been up to the Mirador de San Nicolas in all seasons and seen it at different times of the day.
All of my photos are the same but different as the light changes. Angles and seasons vary. This first photo was taken from the Mirador of San Nicolas itself. The most popular viewpoint with visitors and locals.
Mirador de San Nicolas
Trying to get a space on the wall to take your photo can sometimes be a real challenge. You have a similar vantage point from some of the restaurants around the Mirador de San Nicolas. Carmen de Aben Humeya, Carmen de las Tomasas, Mirador de Morayma and Huerto de Juan Ranas all have a similar view.
Getting to the Mirador
To get to the Mirador de San Nicolas from the city. You can walk up the cobbled Albaicin streets from Calle Elvira or Plaza Nueva. Another option would be to take one of the buses from Gran Via. Such as Bus C32. The driver will indicate which stop you need to get off at.
The bus ride can be pretty bumpy as you go up the hill with twists and turns along the cobbled narrow roads. Great fun. It´s 1.40 euro per person, pay when you get on.
A taxi from the city centre will cost you about 5 euros depending on the exact journey. If you want to go up by car, or drive anywhere around this town in fact, used smart cars are ideal. The streets are so narrow you'll need a small car. If you get a used one you won´t be so precious with it as you whizz along the bumpy cobbled roads. It's very difficult to find parking in this area but these little cars seem to fit in anywhere.
From the Albaicin
Further down the hill you can see a different angle of this view of the Alhambra. This photo was taken from the end Carrera del Darro, known as Paseo de los Tristes. This made a good angle to get this shot.
Golden Hour
This photo was taken from the Calle Bañuelo. A little higher up from Carrera del Darro. Of couse the beautiful golden light at sundown makes an impact too. Painting the Alhambra towers gold as the sunsets.
If you are thinking of visiting Granada seeing the Alhambra palace on the inside is a must.
Remember to book tickets ahead of time.
Cuesta del Chapiz
This magical photo was taken at Sunset from the Carmen de la Victoria. This University building on Cuesta del Chapiz at the foot of the Albaicin. The Torre de la Vela is clearly visible, it's silhouette seems to look down onto the city of Granada.
And even at night the magic doesn't fade.
This image was taken directly below the Alhambra. I was walking along Paseo de los tristes towards Plaza Nueva.
Hotels with Alhambra Views
There are some hotels that have good views to the Alhambra palace too.
Here are a few that I have selected for their great location and good views of the Red Fortress
- Hotel Casa 1800 in lower Albaicin – Some of the rooms have Alhambra views.
- Ladron del Agua in lower Albaicin – Some rooms have Alhambra views
- Casa Morisca in lower Albaicin, close to Cuesta Chapiz- Some rooms have Alhambra views
- Palacio de Santa Inés – Lower Albaicin -Some rooms have Alhambra views
Miradors in Granada
- El Mirador de San Nicolás – At the heart of the Albaicin and the most known lookout.
- Mirador de los Carvajales – a small square called Placeta Carvajales, close to Calle Calderería & teahouses
- Mirador de Santa Isabel la Real – At the convent Santa Isabel la Real in the Albaicin quarter.
- El Mirador de San Cristóbal – located up in the Albaicin quarter, on the main road. Next to Iglesia San Cristóbal. probably my favourite view.
- Mirador de Granada – Up on the main road towards the Alhambra car park.
- El Mirador de San Miguel Alto – the highest overlook in Granada. Its a jaunt uphill but the views are panoramic.
- Balcony from Manuel de Falla Auditorio – This looks out over the city from the car park next to Carmen de los Martires but is often closed to the public.
- El ojo de Granada – The eye of Granada is just off Carril de la Lona and gives you a panaramic city view.
- Abadia de Sacromonte – At the very end of the Camino del Sacromonte at Abbey car park is a good perspective from high above the city. You can see the Alhambra from here but not the Sierra Nevada.

Singapore shares closed flat yesterday even as other Asian markets received a slight boost from China's upbeat factory data.
The Straits Times Index (STI) shed 0.18 point or 0.01 per cent to 2,813.69, its second day of decline this week, despite clocking gains in the morning. About 1.31 billion shares worth just $832.9 million changed hands across the bourse.
Shanghai was up 0.71 per cent after an official poll showed China's manufacturing sector grew at a faster pace than expected last month, and Hong Kong rose 0.93 per cent to end its five-day losing streak.
Tokyo climbed 0.1 per cent as the Bank of Japan, as expected, left its monetary policy unchanged.
Ms Margaret Yang, an analyst at CMC Markets Singapore, noted the positive numbers from China indicate "the economy has swung back into expansionary territory for a third consecutive month and show further stabilisation of Asia's largest economy".
"This will improve market sentiment and provide support to industrial metals," she added.
But she also said market sentiment will likely be dominated by rising uncertainty surrounding the US presidential election, following the FBI's investigation into Mrs Hillary Clinton's e-mails.
Wall Street traders remained on edge ahead of next week's polls and sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.1 per cent.
Only 14 of the 30 STI constituents rose yesterday while 14 fell and two were unchanged.
DBS Group Holdings slid one cent or 0.07 per cent to $14.99. Most analysts noted the bank's third-quarter earnings stayed resilient amid headwinds, but one from NetResearch Asia is keeping a "sell" call on the stock as the bank's net interest margins "have not hit (their) worst".
Outside of the STI, container ship operator Rickmers Maritime Trust slumped half a cent or 14.3 per cent to three cents, after reporting a net loss of US$74.7 million (S$103.9 million) for the third quarter to Sept 30, well down from a net profit of US$9 million a year earlier.
Rickmers unit holders on Monday approved the proposed issue of 1.3 billion new units to note holders as partial redemption of $60 million of the $100 million notes due in May next year.
Imperium Crown was flat at seven cents. The property investment firm said early yesterday it plans to invest $5 million in two cineplexes in China, which will open up opportunities for the group to tap the country's booming film industry.
Geo Energy Resources, which said on Monday that two units have entered into coal purchase and management service agreements to extract five million tonnes of coal from Angsana Jaya Energi, jumped one cent or 4.9 per cent to 21.5 cents in heavy trade.
Commodity trader Noble Group was the day's most active, slipping 0.1 cent or 0.6 per cent to 16.5 cents on 116.9 million shares done.

Both "Alice in a Strange Land" and "Sea-Sister" give this issue of Jinty a strong fantastical flavour. Of the two my favourite, as previously indicated, is "Alice in a Strange Land"; "Sea-Sister" has got some good scenes of the drowned village that mysterious Helen comes from, but overall it doesn't convince as much.
"Prisoner of the Bell" shows that Susie Cathcart's grandmother's hypnotic hold is still strong on her; friend Lorraine is prepared to do quite a lot to show Susie that she is under this hypnotic spell, and to break her from it. I've previously written about how "Children of Edenford" (also in this issue) has an underlying theme of parents prepared to control their children in service of what they think is best; well, with "Bell" the same is shown to be true of grandparents too, on occasion.
"I'll Make Up for Mary" and "She Shall Have Music" are opposing sorts of morality story; the former is like the successful "Stefa's Heart of Stone" and shows unsuccessful ways to deal with early death, while the latter is a warning about overindulgent selfishness. Neither are the sort of story I like very much, but popular with many other readers. I'd much rather read about the very silly "Fran'll Fix It", here trying to make fire practices more realistic… by adding smoke canisters. Which will in no way go wrong, at all, er…….
Stories in this issue:
- Alice in a Strange Land (artist Terry Aspin)
- Sue's Fantastic Fun-Bag! (artist Hugh Thornton-Jones)
- Sea-Sister (artist Peter Wilkes)

The patented Ritchey Break-Away design has been heralded by mainstream cycling media as one of the most innovative bikes on the market today.

Ritchey has offered the Titanium Carbon Break-Away (with a full-carbon rear triangle and fork) for years with no issues.

The carbon tubes designed from the ground, up with optimal stiffness, ride quality and durability in mind.

The Break-Away Road frame is made from Ritchey heat treated, CrMo butted steel tubing, and includes a Pro Carbon Fork and headset. Aside from it's fantastic ride performance, the magic of this bike is in its patented locking compression system, which adds only 100 grams to the weight of the bike. The downtube is split near the bottom bracket and is fastened together with a simple locking ring. A double seatpost clamp up top secures the frame there.

The all new Break-Away Carbon Outback takes the best of the lessons learned from the monster-cross defining Mount Cross and the sophistication of the Break-Away Carbon Road and pulls them together in a bike that knows no bounds or limitations. Designed to be a versatile adventure machine, the Break-Away Carbon Outback is nimble in conditions that are beyond the scope of a traditional 'cross bike, yet adept for long miles over tarmac. The secret to the ride quality Ritchey fans long for is found in Tom's ideal tubing profile for carbon, which is engineered to dampen trail noise while being stiff enough for the discerning racer, and with the straight steerer fork that deflects harshness while providing ample stability.

A meticulously designed, beautifully-constructed track racer destined to take the modern fixed-gear rider beyond the velodrome. Built to be the track bike we'd always dreamed of owning, this competition-ready steel frame soaks up bumps and sprints like a champ. Boasting a single set of bottle bosses and bumped-up tire clearance, it's drilled for brakes and fully street legal. - 612 Select tubing: We've carefully chosen every piece of tubing on every frame size to provide the best ride possible - Drilled for brakes: Drilled for front and rear brakes when quick and safe stopping is needed off the track - Tire clearance: Run 25c tires on the track or swap 'em out for 32c cross tires when you're ready to hit the street - Lugged fork crown: Thoughtful custom touches add class and style — perhaps where you least expect it - Signature seat collar: Train your eyes on that timeless and tasteful brazed-on seat collar, elegantly designed around the All-City logo - Custom dropouts: Signature stainless steel Hennepin Bridge track dropouts add grace and a dash of pride for AC's home turf - Reinforced bottle bosses: Beautiful stars reinforce the bottle bosses and our obsessive attention to detail - Liquid paint and E.D. coat: Our topnotch wet paint finish sparkles with depth and luster, while an E.D. coating protects against rust.
The Cosmic Stallion is ready for any road and any distance. From fast road rides on steep pavement to all-day gravel epics, this bike sets a new standard for beauty, functionality, and comfort on rough terrain. Thoroughly modern and classically styled, all on a lightweight disc-brake frameset. - Crafted from All-City's proprietary heat-treated, air-hardened, and custom-extruded A.C.E. steel tubing - Columbus Futura Cross Carbon Fork with 4mm adjustable rake to dial in your performance needs - 12mm thru-axles and flat-mount disc brakes - Three bottle cage mounts, rear rack mounts, front and rear fender eyelets - Tire Clearance: 700c x 47mm w/o fenders, 700c x 43mm w/ fenders, 650B x 42mm
Tarmac or gravel, skinny tires or fat, fenders or not, stripped down and wicked fast or geared up for the long haul: Mr. Pink is your ticket to the party, no matter what road you take to get there. The Columbus Zona tubeset is light, zippy, and has the Mr. Pink riding like a high-quality steel bike should. The lugged chromoly fork looks classy, rides smoothly, and allows for the use of mid-reach brakes and 32c tires. The Mr. Pink sports all of the classic steel touches you've come to expect from All-City: a custom head badge, All-City signature dropouts, signature brazed-on seat collar, internal top tube cable routing for the rear brake, a pump peg and reinforcement stars on the bottle bosses. These are the signifiers of quality that inform, at a glance, that this is a high-end, hand-crafted machine.
Even if you own a different bike for everything, it's still necessary to have one that can do it all. That bike is the Space Horse. Our most popular and versatile model, the Space Horse has become a cult favorite because of its classic styling and ability to handle just about any task or terrain. With the addition of the all-weather control of disc brakes, and the ability to fit smaller riders better by utilizing 650b wheels on the 43cm and 46cm versions, this updated Space Horse is the best version yet. The geometry is a mix of traditional road and randonneur, with a relatively short rear end and a bottom bracket that's slightly lower than a standard road bike. This gives it both increased stability when loaded and agile handling for riding unladen. This blend of geometry and our 612 Select tubing creates a bike that is capable of quick road centuries; gravel racing; commuting; and, of course, loaded touring. Just like its cantilever predecessor, the Space Horse Disc is able to accommodate front and rear racks, fenders, and tires up to 42c in size for the 700c bikes and 45c for the 650b version. It also utilizes a new dropout with a replaceable derailleur hanger. All of the classic All-City touches are present: signature brazed-on seat collar, pantographed bottom bracket shell, reinforcements on the bottle bosses and a beautiful lugged-crown fork. The fork sports both a double eyelet on the dropout and mid-blade mounts to allow you to use pretty much whatever front rack you wish.
The All-City Thunderdome is back and quicker than ever. Crafted from 7000 Series aluminum and drilled for front and rear brakes, this lightweight and responsive UCI-certified racer has proven itself on the boards of velodromes across the globe. On the track or on the city streets, its one and only speed is fast. - UCI certified track bike - 7000 Series aluminum and classic round-profile tubing - Replaceable stainless steel axle pads - Tapered head tube and tapered axle-to-crown carbon fork - Signature Shot Collar seat post clamp - Tire clearance: 700 x 25c
The Zig Zag. Our answer to what a modern road bike should be. An evolution of the revolution that we started in 2012 with the Mr. Pink, taken to the logical next step through the righteous application of new technology. We built it to be a ripping fast and efficient machine that shields the rider from road chatter and unnecessary fatigue allowing them to go further, faster, and have more fun. The addition of disc brakes provides confidence in all weather conditions and allows ultimate control on descents. The thru-axles add stiffness and enhance sprinting prowess, ensuring that no power is wasted. The custom drawn A.C.E. tubeset was created to shave weight and soak up bumps leaving you fresher, longer. Our famed road geometry strikes a perfect balance between aggression and comfort for long days in the saddle or attacks off the front. Because we like to explore the world around us, the bike accommodates up to a 35c tire, making it more than capable of multi-surface riding. You'll also find all of the All-City attention to detail that you've come to expect: a custom head badge, Signature dropouts, Signature brazed-on seat collar, pump peg, two bottle bosses, and fender mounts.

My wife Joan, her sister Judy Rogers, and I so enjoyed a terrific Branson evening of entertainment at the Presley Country Jubilee Theater! The Presley's pretty well began the whole Branson phenomenon as one of the first theaters in 1967.
The reputation of the Presley family in the community may be revealed in the fact that, for several years, Raeanne Presley – wife of the show's drummer – served as Branson's Mayor.
Presley Country Jubilee (www.presleys.com) should be one of your Branson destinations. It focuses on fun, laughter, all types of live music, faith, and patriotism … with performances every day but Sunday.
Scott Presley leads a "double" life … and then some … in a very good way. His instrumentals add life to the whole show. At www.presleys.com, Scott is in the middle of the three men instrumentalist. Many of his immediate and larger family members are involved.
He is also a pastor, who leads a Branson church "plant" – and has been on a number of mission trips to the Philippines.
And in this time of radio with Scott – with the encouragement of his parents, leaders of the Presley Jubilee – in November, 2018, began a weekly, 10:00 AM Sunday worship in the Presley Theater, to which we are invited and welcomed. It is not a "gospel show" (he's had "enough of them," he says), but a real, worshipful service, praising the living God and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ!
So enjoy this brief radio visit with Scott Presley, entertainer, and man of God!

Kansas Administrative Regulations
Regulation Number:
Agency Title:
Article Title:
Kansas Retailers' Sales Tax
Tax Type:
Kansas Retailers' Sales Tax
Brief Description:
Securities: surety bonds, escrow accounts, and cash bonds.
K.A.R. 92-19-35a. Securities: surety bonds, escrow accounts, and cash bonds
(a) General. Pursuant to K.S.A. 79-3616 and amendments thereto, a retailer may be required to post a security before or after a registration certificate is issued. If a security is required, a written demand for security shall be sent to the retailer. If a person fails or refuses to post a security as required within 30 days of mailing of the notice, issuance of a registration certificate may be refused by the director of taxation, or a certificate that has been issued may be cancelled by the director.
(b) Refusal to issue a certificate or cancellation of a certificate.
(1) If a written demand for a security is sent to a person who is applying for a registration certificate, the person who receives the demand shall either post the security or object to the demand. To object, the person shall submit the objection in writing within 30 days from the date that the demand was mailed. Once an objection is received, a hearing shall be scheduled by the secretary or secretary's designee to determine whether the posting of the security is an appropriate prerequisite for issuing the registration certificate.
(2) If an existing registration certificate is to be cancelled because a security has not been posted within 30 days of the demand, the certificate holder shall be notified in writing of the director's intention to cancel the certificate and the date when the cancellation is final. The certificate shall be cancelled on the date specified in the notice, unless the certificate holder objects in writing within 30 days from the date that the notice of intention to cancel is mailed. If a certificate holder objects to the cancellation, a hearing shall be scheduled by the secretary or secretary's designee to determine whether cancellation of the certificate for failure to post a security is appropriate.
(c) When required for active businesses.
(1) Businesses with chronic delinquencies. A retailer shall post a security if the retailer has had four or more delinquencies during the last 24 months for sales and use taxes or if the retailer has had six or more delinquencies during the last 24 months for taxes imposed under chapter 79 of the Kansas statutes annotated and amendments thereto, including withholding tax, income tax, sales and use taxes, liquor excise tax, and all other excise taxes. Delinquencies shall include the failure to file a return, the filing of a late return, the filing of an improper return, nonpayment, late payment, and payment by an insufficient funds check. The simultaneous late filing of the return and the late payment of tax shall count as one delinquency. A delinquency shall be excused if the retailer establishes that, had a timely request been made under K.A.R. 92-19-5a, good cause would have existed for an extension.
(2) When required of a new applicant. A security shall be required of a new applicant if the applicant is substantially similar to a person who would have been required to post a security because of past delinquencies. An applicant shall be deemed to be similar to the extent that the applicant is owned or controlled by a person or persons who owned or controlled a previously registered retailer that became delinquent. Substantial similarity may be established by facts that tend to show common ownership or control of both businesses.
(d) Determination of security amount. The amount of a security for an annual filer shall be $25, and the security shall be made only as a cash bond. If a security is required of a monthly or quarterly filer, the amount of the security shall be fixed by the director and shall be equal to at least the average tax liability for state and local taxes for six months, or $1,000, whichever is greater. The average tax liability shall be based on the previous 12-month period, if there was a reporting history for those months. Amounts based on the average liability for a monthly or quarterly reporting period shall be rounded to the next higher, even $100 amount. If a retailer has no reporting history, the amount of the security may be based on the estimated tax liability as shown on the registration application, the predecessor's tax liability at the location specified on the registration application, and other factors that are based on the department's experience with similar businesses. After one year, the security amount fixed by the director for a new account may be increased or decreased based upon the retailer's compliance record, payment history, and annual average sales tax liability.
(e) Types of security. Acceptable types of security shall include the following:
(1) Money posted or deposited with the department as a cash bond. A cash bond may be required by the director to be paid in guaranteed funds by means of a cashier's check or money order. Cash bonds shall not pay interest;
(2) a surety bond issued by a bonding company that is authorized to do business in Kansas by the Kansas insurance commission. Each surety bond shall be issued on a form prescribed by the department and shall bear the seal of the insurance company, the effective date, and the signature of the applicant. If a bond is signed by an agent or other attorney-in-fact for the insurance company, the bond shall be accompanied by a power of attorney that grants to the attorney-in-fact the power to obligate the company for this type of liability; and
(3) an escrow account with a Kansas financial institution that is entered into on a form prescribed by the department. Escrow funds may be held in a savings account or certificate of deposit and shall be payable to the department upon demand. Interest earned on an escrow account may be paid to the retailer unless the director has made demand for payment on the account. Other than interest, an escrow account shall not be accessible to the retailer or to creditors of the retailer until the account is released in writing by the director.
(f) Release or cancellation of the security. A security that has been posted by a retailer who files on a monthly or quarterly basis may be released to the retailer upon request if the retailer has, for 24 consecutive months, timely filed and paid all returns required to be filed under chapter 79 of the Kansas statutes annotated, and amendments thereto. The 24-month compliance requirement shall begin on the day the security is received by the department. If a retailer does not meet the compliance requirements, the security shall continue to be required until the taxpayer has been in compliance for 24 consecutive months from the date of the latest noncompliance. A $25 cash bond required to be posted by a retailer who files on an annual basis shall be held by the department until the retailer terminates business or is required to file returns on a monthly or quarterly basis. (Authorized by K.S.A. 2001 Supp. 79-3618; implementing K.S.A. 79- 3616; effective August 23, 2002

Yesterday morning, Goodwill staff and program participants marched down Fifth Avenue during the Veterans Day parade to honor the military men and women who served to protect our country. The Goodwill contingent joined the thousands of New Yorkers who saluted and cheered the Vets in the annual Manhattan parade.
For years, Goodwill programs have offered employment support services to U.S. veterans, but starting next month, we will provide a holistic integration of career services with family and financial strengthening services specific to Vets. More information about this program will become available by the end of the month.
click here to see the FOX5 coverage of the parade
This Veterans Day, we are proud to promote a Wall of Honor for veterans, those continuing to serve, and military families as sponsored by the Walmart Foundation.
The Wall of Honor, hosted online at www.walmart.com/wallofhonor, is a venue and opportunity where anyone can thank, support, acknowledge, recognize and share about the veterans in their lives. Please join us in helping bring people together in the largest virtual community of its kind by encouraging your colleagues and friends to submit a note, image or uplifting message on the wall.
Also, from Friday to Monday, November 8-11, to thank our Vets for their service, we offered free professional outfits at our 42 Goodwill area stores. Next week, we'll report how many military men and women we helped this year.
In 2012, we held the first Goodwill Suits Vets in January to welcome the thousands of service men and women who return home from Iraq. During that event, we noticed that many Vets from previous wars continued to struggle to return to the workforce after serving their country. In an effort to help more veterans, we held two more events over the Memorial and Veterans Day weekends. In total, Goodwill gifted over $65,000 worth of interview-ready merchandise to more than 1,400 veterans.
Your purchases support the mission of Goodwill. To get the latest fashion trends and tips and learn about our upcoming promotions, please read our thrift fashion blog A Good Look

"Circus Business" is the fifth episode of the sixth season and the one hundred and forty-fifth overall episode of the original series, The Flintstones. It aired on October 15, 1965.
Fred invests his income-tax refund in the purchase of an ailing circus. The performers, whom the former owner left unpaid, walk out on him, so Fred and Barney try to put on a show themselves.
Having received a $35 tax refund check from the government, a jovial Fred treats Wilma and the Rubbles to leisurely frolic at the Rollem and Clippem Carnival, where they ride a prehistoric roller coaster (a carriage wheeled along the multi-humped back of a large dinosaur) and watch in amazement the feats of the Great Herculo, who can lift a piano on which five men are seated. Mr. Rollem, the carnival owner, is struggling with stagnant cash flow and wants to sell his property and its attractions.
When he succeeds at swindling Fred into paying extra for admission to the carnival, Rollem decides that Fred is the ideal "pushover" buyer of the beleaguered circus and arranges to have people on his payroll form lines at the ticket booths of all of the rides and acts which Fred, Wilma, Betty and Barney desire to experience, to give the impression to Fred that the Rollem and Clippem Carnival is a popular and viable operation, and Fred is only too eager to purchase it with the remainder of his money from the government. Rollem hastens to depart the site.
To Fred's shock, the circus performers and side-show oddities (fortune-teller Madame Rocksand, Gummo the Rubber Man, midget, eight-feet-tall giant, fat lady, skinny man, and a man-woman two-face), all disgruntled with low pay, quit. And circus owner Fred is ordered by a policeman to provide a performance, or go to jail for false advertising. "The show must go on," with Wilma selling admission and ride tickets and cooking brontosaurus burgers; Betty acting as usher; Dino, Hoppy, Pebbles, and Bamm-Bamm supplying sprightly music; helmeted Barney doing the Human Cannonball stunt; and blindfolded Fred riding a bicycle on a high wire, losing his balance, and being spared from a fall by a mighty Bamm-Bamm.
Performances and attendance figures are admirable, and the former "stars" of the carnival are so impressed by the pluck of new owner Flintstone that they agree to return to work. Rollem asks Fred to sell the carnival back to him, and Fred agrees, not one to enjoy the constant pressures of circus showmanship.

A rustic galette strikes all the right homey notes on a Thanksgiving spread, and this pretty number showcases one of fall's star fruits: sweet, juicy pears. Poach the pears in red wine, and then concentrate the poaching liquid for a naturally sweet topper to spoon over each slice with a dollop of creamy mascarpone.
How to Make It
Bring wine, granulated sugar, and star anise to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high; boil 5 minutes. Place pears cut sides down in mixture in saucepan. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 minutes. Gently flip pears over; simmer, covered, until pears are just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove pears from saucepan, reserving liquid in saucepan. Let pears cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into ¼-inch-thick slices.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured work surface. Transfer dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange pear slices on dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Partially fold dough edges up and over pears, leaving center of pie exposed. Brush crust with egg; sprinkle crust with turbinado sugar.
Bake in preheated oven until crust is browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring reserved pear liquid in saucepan to a boil over high; boil, uncovered, until liquid is syrupy and reduced to ½ cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt. Set aside.
To serve, cut galette into 10 slices. Stir together mascarpone and powdered sugar in a small bowl until combined. Dollop onto slices, and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon pear liquid.

The global Transportation and Logistics (T&L) sector reported 61 deals in Q1 2018. While deal value increased by 114%, deal volume declined by 12%, over the same quarter of last year.
Passenger Ground and Passenger Air accounted for the value increase, mainly driven by a single megadeal, the joint bid of Atlantia SpA and ACS/Hochtief AG for Spanish road transportation operator Abertis Infraestructuras SA (deal value $22.5 billion).
Shipping led the volume decline, experiencing a 50% year on year decline in the number of deals.
- Eric Castonguay,
Partner, National Corporate Finance Leader
Although transaction volume declined for the second quarter in a row, total announced deal value reached $43.8 billion, the highest quarterly value recorded over the last three years.
Deal volume surged in the Passenger Air sector, increasing by 78% over last quarter to 16 deals making this sector the largest contributor to deal volume.
Financial investments scaled up to peak levels this quarter, totalling $35.1 billion and accounting for 80% of deal value.
The acquisition of Abertis Infraestructuras SA for $22.5 billion was the only megadeal announced with a value greater than $5 billion. The transaction contributed 51% of total deal value and it is the largest deal reported since 2013.
The Asia & Oceania region continues to drive M&A volume, with local deals in China accounting for 40% of the top 20 deals by value. The UK & Eurozone region represented 53% of total deal value by acquirer region.

Move over Mykonos and Santorini, Kythira and Samos are in! New research reveals that interest in Greece's lesser-known islands is growing.
Greece's big-name destinations face increasing competition from their under-the-radar neighbours. The Independent and specialist tour operator Sunvil recently analysed search volume for Greek islands – the number of times per month that people in the UK search online for terms including each island's name – and found that the biggest increases in volume between 2018 and 2019 were for lesser-known islands.
Below are the top 10 Greek islands that increased in search volume:
Kythira +340%
Samos +39%
Lemnos +38%
Kythnos +32%
Halki +30%
Koufonissi +25%
Milos +23%
Meganissi +22%
Tilos +21%
Karpathos +14%
Through analysing search volume data between January and March in 2018 and 2019 respectively, Sunvil also found that searches for some of the more popular islands have decreased, including Zakynthos (-31%), Kefalonia (-21%) and Santorini (-12%).
Although a specific reason for this shifting in holiday destinations isn't clear, there's evidently a growing interest in less-frequented islands like Milos and Tilos.
The search data surge for Greece's lesser-known islands could potentially be driven by Brits wanting a quieter, more traditional, active or outdoorsy Greek experience, or for some, it may simply be down to increased awareness of some of the smaller islands.
Despite some Greek islands experiencing a fall in search volume, Greece is still very much a firm favourite for holidaymakers. Search volume for holiday destinations across the country as a whole increased by 476% from 2018 to 2019 (an average of 7.56% increase per island).
