VANCOUVER — British Columbia's Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is set to resurface two sections of the Head Bay Forest Service Road using a process called sealcoating.
Thirteen kilometres of the 60-kilometre-long route between Tahsis and Gold River will be upgraded. Five kilometres of road will be double sealcoated for the first time, and the existing sealcoat of another eight kilometres of road will be pulverized down and redone with double sealcoat, indicates a release.
O.K. Industries Ltd. of Courtenay, B.C. has been awarded a $2.13-million contract for the work, which is expected to occur from mid-April to late June.
According to the release, sealcoating is a cost-effective way to resurface and extend the life of roads because it seals out moisture and provides a skid-resistant, anti-glare surface during wet weather and a dust-free driving surface by hardening the gravel surface.
The sealcoating process includes spraying a mixture of asphalt and water onto the road, then spreading and compacting a layer of gravel to embed it into the asphalt, adds the release. Once the surface has cured, the sealcoat will be swept to remove loose gravel.
Travellers are asked to watch for workers, follow instructions from traffic controllers and obey the reduced construction speed limit, the release indicates, adding driving at higher speeds can cause gravel to break loose from a fresh sealcoat, creating the risk of flying rock which may crack or break a windshield.

Hello all! Again, with the two months between posts! I'm a sad excuse for a blogger, what can I say? Things have gotten pretty surreal, pretty fast. My twin daughters, my baby girls, those two beings I just gave birth to, what, 5 minutes ago? They graduate from high school tonight. Yeah. Graduate. High school. Gowns, tassels, all of that. I'm feeling ok right now, but hopefully I won't be too over-emotional tonight. I'll get back to you after 7 p.m. Central time.
Oh, the other surreal thing is that in 9 days I will be on the biggest cruise ship in the world, Royal Carribean's Allure of the Seas. Nine days, man! That just blows the mind. I booked this trip over a year ago, and it's finally here. I've done so much plotting and planning and daydreaming! I've researched and made lists, and yes, spent a bundle on extras like 'Formal Night' clothes (and the undergarments needed for said clothes.) I've stocked up on camera batteries and sunblock, I've budgeted for photos and tours and fruity drinks. 😀 Now it's just a matter of getting there. Thank GOD for my mother, who in all her magnanimousness is taking us to the airport, because her *cough*almost 40-yr old*cough* daughter is too big a chicken to attempt driving in Dallas-Ft.Worth! (To be fair, my car really isn't in any good shape for a road-trip to Dallas, so that's part of the reason. And yes, car repair and improvement is next on my spending list. Right after celebrating graduation with the kids.)
So anyway. Busy life, happy life. Everything changes. The week after we get home from the trip, my baby sister is getting married. A couple weeks after that, we have a family reunion to attend. And somewhere in there I have to find time to gather a ton of paperwork for applications that should have been filled out long before now: financial aid for Daughter S., Vocational Rehabilitation for Daughter J., and online public school for The Boy. (More on that one later.)
Look for my next post to be a full review of the cruise, complete with pictures. It will probably show up in about 3 months! (Not really. I'll get it out sooner, I promise!) Wish me non-teary eyes tonight and then in a week it's Sailaway time! 🙂 Wooo hoooooo!
Until next time,

Tift listened to what our priorities were, what was important to us and what we could afford. What made our experience with Tift so remarkable was that he worked very hard to find us "what we wanted" and not "what he wanted us to have – for that quick sale". Tift guided us through the entire process of purchasing a home – which in today's market is very complex. Tift "cared about us" and demonstrated his caring throughout the entire journey of buying our home. We would recommend Tift to anyone that is in the market to purchase their home. We have the highest regard for Tift Mitchell.

Overcast Winter Days
27 comments:
I love your little drawstring bag. It's hot and sunny here so we're off camping by the lake this weekend.ReplyDelete
I love the Summer but I'm sad that the warm weather makes me less inclined to craft and bake. XReplies
Thanks, Jules. Camping on the lake sounds like a lovely Summery thing to do. Summer here feels long gone, cold and wintery days now. I made the bag as a special gift from a piece of linen I did some stitching on ages ago. I used the project bag pattern in Melissa Wastney's book, "Sweet and Simple Handmade", to sew it up. Meg:)Delete
Very nice projects! That shawl is going to be beautiful. Soup is so good on a cold day! I like looking into your winter when we have summer and visa versa! AndreaReplyDeleteReplies
Our Winters really are very mild but the comparison they offer to our scorching hot Summers is so lovely. My shawl is getting longer very slowly. I am still nowhere near finished the lacy edge. A work in progress! Enjoy your Summer days, Andrea. Meg ☺Delete
That soup looks absolutely devine.ReplyDelete
I have wanted to read that book for ages, but it's very hard to get a hold of a copy at our local library.
Have a lovely weekend Meg ☺Replies
I am not sure how I managed to jag the book so quickly from my local library, Cheryl. It's a big, heavy book and it's no wonder it costs $85 to buy it! I read sections at a time and I am sure I will be turning over thoughts and ideas from it for a long time. Meg ☺Delete
Cheryl, find out the website for the library. Ask, next time your there, for the address. All public libraries have them. That way you can reserve it online, as long as you have your library card number to book it with. :)Delete
Thanks Chris, I will look into it 😁Delete
Meg, it has been cold and wet here too but I don't think there was all that much in the rain gauge. I had to resort to using the dryer to dry the clothes as we don't use a heater. It is sunny here today though after a foggy start. I am enjoying the cooler weather as I now dread the summer months and the heatwaves. Have a restful weekend.ReplyDelete
I got that book out from the library and I was somewhat overwhelmed by the whole thing...way to much info for my little home.ReplyDeleteReplies
Isn't it a huge and heavy book, Kathy! There's an incredible amount of ideas and info in it. I like the hope that the "burbs" can be a place of resilient communities where people support one another, share and trade skills, grow food and find work & contentment. When I think of all the housing estates that stretch from here to the Sunshine Coast, I do think it is the suburbs where change has to happen. It's where most of us live. Meg 🤗Delete
Lots of my favourite things in those photos Meg!ReplyDelete
I too am enjoying being inside and cosy on these cold wet days. Have a lovely weekend.
Such great things to take time for, the this particular lull of the season. I'm not a huge winter fan. I'm a sun sign, and I've really noticed it's absence this year. It plays havoc on my verve to go do stuff. Thankfully, the longer days are returning.ReplyDelete
It's an interesting comment, what you responded to Kathy re: retrofitting the suburbs. I love the way Holgrem thinks, and I'm sure there are many that will make adaptations to their homes, and the way they do things. However, what stops everyone (even us, on our five acres) is the need to earn an income. Which inevitably takes us away from home. There needs to be a large enough swing, back home, in order to make the kinds of changes Holgrem suggests will make the difference. To turn things around, as a society, that is. We can (and should) make individual changes, regardless.Replies
I think it will take a monumental shift, Chris, and I don't know when or how that shift will come about or even if it ever will. What I tend to do, whenever I read something like Holmgren's "Retrosuburbia" is think about what I can do here in our home, neighbourhood and community to have some kind of positive impact. At a really simple level, that's swapping a bit of veg for a bit of fruit with the bloke down the road and round the corner. No money required. That kind of transaction doesn't pay the bills though, that is true. Neither does saving seed or sewing my own clothes but I still feel those things are important for reasons beyond money. It's what I can do. Everyone will have different things they can do too. Meg:)Delete
You do wonderfully, in your parts Meg. :)Delete
Well (and I'm not boasting lol) we had a little bit of sunshine down here in Melbourne this morning :)ReplyDelete
'Bout time too - I've been walking about in the half light for days lol
After reading your post this morning I thought I'd have a quick look at our library catalogue and maybe put a hold on Retrosuburbia - 13 copies to choose from, all out on loan - I'm 43rd in line for my go lol. Popular book eh??
I think I'll take my name off the list and have another try later in the year. In a couple of weeks we'll be making our way up to Bowen for 6weeks R&R hopefully in some sunny warm days. The book might be in the whitsunday Library - I'll have a look there instead.
here in UK, we are still in the best heatwave for years, long hot sunny days, which does not happen that often here, so we enjoy the sunshine whilst we can.ReplyDelete
The embroidery on your little bag is so pretty and cheery Meg. It doesn't take much, does it, to jazz up a plain piece of cloth. Saw yours and Chelle's comments about the early morning fog......it stretched a long way, it was foggy here too, Mt Warning wzs completely obscured. And apart from some rain yesterday, lots of lovely hot sunshine here, so it's been the garden for me.ReplyDelete
You are living the life! That soup looks so nourishing. The book looks terrific, your knitting is lovely, and your baking looks delicious. You write so well....thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Sounds perfect to me Meg. It's nice to shift activities from season to season - there will be plenty of garden busyness in the months to come. Winter is such a rare treat of time to slow.ReplyDelete
Oh, and another appreciative nod to the little bag - lovely work.
It is lovely to follow the seasons, Laura. What we do and what we eat changes as the weather warms or cools down. Winter is definitely a time for slowing down. The little bag was happily received by a special someone. Nice to give things that are handmade. Meg:)Delete

"Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in
Christ Jesus, who risked their own necks for my
life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all
the churches of the Gentiles" (Romans 16:3,4).
I read Romans 16 with much greater appreciation
now than I did several years ago. I must confess
that at one time I considered it merely a rather
tedious collection of personal notes from Paul
that had little relevance or meaning to Christians
today. I suspect that others have shared those
views. After all, what difference does it make to
us whether the Romans said hello to Rufus and his
mother (verse 13) or to the household of
Aristobulus (verse 10). Who were these people
anyway? Why should we care? What application or
doctrine can be derived from such details?
I no longer feel that way, however. For the past
twenty years God has given me the privilege of
traveling to a number of different countries where
I have met and worked with many Christians. I know
what it is to have coworkers who put their own
lives at risk for the Gospel's sake, and sometimes
even for my sake. I have witnessed and sometimes
assisted those who have responded with faith to
the Gospel and who have obeyed the commands of
Christ, in spite of opposition and persecution. I
now better understand Paul's love for Mary "who
labored much for us" (verse 6), and for Epaenetus,
"the firstfruits of Achaia to Christ" (verse 5).
The church in Rome had a remarkable collection of
workers, gathered apparently from many different
parts of the Empire. Paul, who had helped to
convert at least some of them and worked with
others, sends his love and regard for them in such
a way that not only would the church there know of
them and their work, but also so that Christians
of every age and in every place would respect and
admire them. Jesus said of the woman who anointed
him with perfume, "Wherever this gospel is
preached in the whole world, what this woman has
done will also be told as a memorial to her" (Mark
14:9). So the labors of Phoebe, Urbanus, and many
others in Rome are still being told today.
It is important for us to recognize that there are
still many faithful Christians laboring in the
Gospel throughout the world today. Faithful
workers have not vanished. Bangladesh, Nepal,
India, Brazil, Nigeria, Guyana, and the United
States, to name but a few, contain dedicated
servants of Christ, as do most other nations of
the world. According to brethren in Florence,
Alabama, only eight countries lack at least one
Church of Christ today. Wherever the Church
exists, it is because someone worked to preach the
Gospel and produce obedient faith. It is also
because work continues to build up and increase
those churches.
Let us give honor to the many little-known co-
workers of Christ who labor throughout the world.
In New Testament times it was the apostles who
received most of the attention. Today it may be
missionaries and preachers. But God knows and
loves all those who serve him. We are thankful for
every one of them, and pray God's blessings upon
Find the truth about God and become a New Testament Christian. Find out more about New Testament Christianity by running some Internet searches for "church of Christ" and "churches of Christ." You may also want to visit http://www.abiblecommentary.com for Bible study information.
Remember, in order to be saved and enjoy all God's blessings (not the least of which is salvation), a person must have faith (Jn. 8:24), be willing to repent (Lk. 13:3), and after confessing Christ as Lord, the final step is water baptism (Rom. 6:3; 1 Cor. 12:13; 1 Pet. 3:20-21). Bible baptism is by immersion only ("burial," Rom. 6:4), and once it is done, heaven puts that person "into Christ" (Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3). After proper baptism a person has their sins forgiven (Acts 2:38).

This week some pupils in year 5 and 6 have had the fantastic opportunity to participate in a Welsh National Opera workshop. This has been a valuable learning experience for the pupils. Year 2 visited Castell Coch on Tuesday and had a storytelling workshop based on Aesop's Fables. The children thoroughly enjoyed the stories and exploring inside Castell Coch. Classes 1 and 2 were once again out exploring on their visit to the museum. They went to see the dinosaurs to help them with their learning in class. There were some very big dinosaurs on show which were making some unusual noises.
Year 6 pupils visited Cathays High School as part of our transition project. This was an opportunity to see the kinds of activities that they will experience next year in high school. The children received a warm welcome and were given a very informative tour by some Sixth form students. There was also a Gymnastics demonstration, a music activity and a drama activity. These visits play a very important role in getting our children prepared for high school. Thank you very much to all the pupils and staff at Cathays High School.

Fleet-footed winger Alex MacDonald says Stags' fans are yet to see the best of him as he works towards returning to the peak of his physical fitness.
The former Burnley man was one of two Deadline Day signings at One Call Stadium and he has scored one goal in five appearances since joining the club.
And the 26-year-old says his best is yet to come in a Stags' shirt as he builds up his match sharpness.
"It's been a hard couple weeks, getting back to match fitness and I'm starting to get there but from Saturday onwards, I think I'm going to start seeing the best out of myself," said MacDonald.
"I've settled in really well and I'm just looking forward to showing some good performances on the pitch on a Saturday.
"I think I've got nowhere near where I know I'm capable of getting yet. The more games that come, hopefully if I get selected I can stamp my mark on games and really start to show everyone what I'm about."
After recording a draw and a defeat in their last two games, MacDonald says the belief in the dressing room is still high and they are aiming to bounce straight back against Newport on Saturday.
"The belief in the dressing room is still there. We have our goals and things that we want to do. Although we haven't had two amazing results in the last couple [of games], we've been on a great run prior to that when I first joined and we're looking to start [that again] on Saturday and hopefully get another good run going.
"I think they're (Newport) on quite a good run of form at the minute as well, considering they're bottom of the table. They've got a good manager in there now and he's starting to implement his stuff on it.
"We're looking to impose our style on them and hopefully come away with a positive result."
The Warrington-born winger won promotion from Sky Bet League Two last season with former club Oxford United and he says Stags have the ambition to replicates the U's success.
"It's a very well-ran club, it's a club that's got ambition and it matches mine. With the appointment of Steve [Evans] and the squad that they've assembled, it was something that I was really, really keen to take on and since I've been here there's been no surprises.
"It's a really good squad and a very good set-up. I'm just looking forward to being part of something going forward.
"It's a hard, hard league to get out of. It's physical but there's a lot of teams that can really play now and there's a lot of good individual players who have come down to League Two. It is hard but it's been just as hard the last few years I've been playing in it."
Supporters will be able to login to Stags PlayerHD later today to view Alex MacDonald's news conference in full.

The campaign 'Pink Summer Vacation 2018' was officially launched yesterday at the HCMC's Children Center. Taking part in the campaign are 3,000 members of the Communist Youth Union of HCMC.
This is the campaign to celebrate the 25th anniversary (1994 – 2018) of voluntary summer campaigns of the city.
The campaign this year focuses on activities to help residents in remote areas, including constructing charity houses for poor people, improving 6 rural routes with concrete, delivering 12 scholarships and 50 presents to families under preferential treatment policy, gifting new textbooks and notebooks to poor children, organizing arts shows, performing medical examination and delivering medicine for 1,500 residents, donating 500 units of blood.
Right after the launching ceremony, participants began their first task of improving the route in Group 1 of Hamlet 3 and open the rural road in Group 18, Hamlet 1 of An Phu Tay Commune in Binh Chanh District.
Simultaneously, the volunteers started the construction of the charity house for Mr. Phung Chi Tam, who lives at 449A/18 Group 18, Hamlet 1, An Phu Tay Commune of Binh Chanh District, with the expense of VND25 million (approx. $1,085) financed by the Department of External Relations – Ho Chi Minh City.
One of the tasks of the campaign this time is the propaganda of the skills for children to protect themselves from sexual abuse and the organization of the 'lightening children's dreams' program to deliver new textbooks and notebooks to 250 poor pupils in Binh Chanh District.The campaign 'Pink Summer Vacation 2018' lasts from July 7 to August 12.

Despite their simple appearance, windshield wiper blades are an important part of any vehicle. In dust and rain, they provide the driver with a clear view of the road so the journey can continue safely.
Windshield wiper blades should be replaced once or twice a year, or as soon as you observe that it is no longer able to maintain your visibility. You have to make sure that every inch of the wiper blade is making proper contact with the windshield surface. Otherwise, you'll observe streaking, skipping, squeaking, loose rubber, or irregular wiper movement, among other issues.
An easy way to remember to change your wiper blades is to replace them before the rainy season starts, which in our country, lasts from June until October. Of course, you shouldn't hesitate to change your wipers immediately if you observe problems before its replacement schedule.
Like another component in your car, wiper blades also need a bit of TLC every now and then. Ensure the longevity of your blades with the following maintenance steps:
- Have your windshield cleaned every time you come into a station for fuel.
- Pull your wiper blades away from the windshield when you're done with your travels for the day.
- When car washing your car, gently wipe your wiper blades clean with a damp cloth to remove any dust or loose dirt.
Performing these simple precautionary steps can help make sure your wipers are working efficiently while ensuring you have the maximum visibility needed for safe driving.

text: Greetings gents in tone! I'm new here and just want to say that after frequenting other forums, this one is heads and shoulders above the others Most everyone appears to be friendly gentlemen and it's truly a pleasure to be here. At any rate, upon selling an amp this week to a really super guy who posts here on the gear page...he really encouraged me to check out this forum. Needless to say, I'm really glad I did! Anyway...I pretty much had my mind made up about purchasing a 2x12" Blockhead Firstborn, GDS, or similar 18-watt Marshall clone type combo. That is until my new tone-fiend-friend turned me onto the Divided by 13 stuff. Now I must admit that I'm totally intrigued with these amps! I have a 50 watt Wizard Modern Classic, which has plenty of power and gain...so I'm very happy in that dept. However, I'd now prefer something that will get me a sort of early Billy Gibbons/Beano type tones...but at a somewhat lower wattage. According to their website, the FTR37 which conveniently has a half-power mode, also comes in a 2x12" combo, which should be awesome...thus, would any of you guys who either own any of these amps, or are intimately familiar with them, mind posting your thoughts and observations on the Divided by 13 amps? Any thoughts, info, or encouragement about your / by 13 amps and configurations, etc. would be sincerely appreciated. Mainly being...which one you own and which sounds like/compares to what, etc... I still love everything about the little 18-watt Marshall type combo, but now that the / by 13 has come to my attention, I'd really love to hear what you guys think about them. Especially why I might dig this amp more so than the 18 watt Marshall clone, etc... Many thanks in advance guys! It's great to be hear! Mark

Our research group performs largely experimental work on environmental separations and primary aerosols. We have obtained funding from federal sources, State of Texas, as well as other industrial and research consortia to support our research activities. A brief description of our current and recently concluded work is given below.
Our water purification research includes:
- Transport mechanisms of biological and inorganic colloids across microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes.
- Methods to enhance removal of viruses and bacteria by low-pressure membranes.
- Fouling reduction of pressure-driven membranes by backwashing, chemical coagulation, and electrocoagulation.
- Surface water desalination by nanofiltration including advanced pretreatment for fouling control.
- Electrocoagulation for treatment of drinking water and hydraulic fracturing wastewater.
Our research on primary atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) includes:
- Trace metals measurement. We have pioneered digestion and ICP-MS methods for lanthanoids (rare earth elements), platinum group elements (Rh, Pd, and Pt), and a host of other representative and transition metals present in urban particulate matter in the USA.
- Long-range transport of mineral dust; e.g. from North Africa (Sahara-Sahel region) to Texas and also within the Middle East region of Asia.
- Emissions from fluidized bed catalytic cracking units of petroleum refining operations.
- Tailpipe and non-tailpipe emissions from gasoline-driven light duty vehicles.
- Source apportionment in industrialized urban areas.
We also perform work on toxicity of nanoparticles looking at:
- Interactions of chelated bismuth nanoparticles with bacteria and human cells.
- Photocatalysis of (functionalized) fullerenes and their impacts on virus inactivation.
Examples of current and recently concluded projects are:
- Coupled effects of particle shape/flexibility and pore morphology on membrane rejection: theory and experiment.
- Optimizing microfilter productivity during water treatment: Modeling and experimental verification.
- Advanced pretreatment for nanofiltration of brackish surface water.
- Electrocoagulation pretreatment for microfilter fouling reduction and enhanced virus removal.
- Coagulation to purify hydraulic fracturing wastewater.
- Emission models for fugitive particulate matter for the Middle East Area.
- Use of platinum group metals to accurately quantify PM emissions from light-duty vehicles.
- Quantifying African dust transport on PM episodes in greater Houston.
- Lanthanoids to track PM episodic emissions from petroleum refineries.

It's been a while since we've had a meet up in Northern CA, so lets get one going here!
Randy, owner of SAAB Replay, and I have been talking and are setting up a meet at his shop in Berkeley on October 20th!

Time: 10/20/2018 Noon-5
Activities: Trick Bike Demo, food of some sort.
Please please make an effort to come if you're interested. I know its far for a lot of you, but we haven't had a solid gathering in a while, and it would be awesome to have a huge meet and greet. Heck theres even a group driving up from LA to make it to this gathering!
RSVP on the facebook event page HERE so we have a rough headcount:
Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Hope to see many of you there!
EDIT: It seems that the link isnt working for people. you may have to join the saab club of california page first in order to see it. This is the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/saabclubofcalifornia/
Anyways, all the info is in this post and I'll add any updates to the thread as need be so no need to join the facebook group if you don't want to

If you like the book, search for the video as it is simply wonderful.

An Infamous Army is wonderful, but very different from most of Heyer's other works. I'm due for a reread of this myself.

I started The Game of Kings, and got bogged down, but am thinking about resuming it again now that I've read up on the region and timeframe a bit.

In Nearing Ninety, bestselling author Judith Viorst candidly shares the complicated joys and everyday tribulations that await us at the age of ninety, all with a large dose of humor and an understanding that nothing—well, almost nothing—in life should be taken too seriously. While she struggles to make it to midnight on New Year's Eve, while she's starting to hear more eulogies than symphonies, while she'll forever be disheartened by what she weighs (and forever unable to stop weighing herself), there is plenty to cherish at ninety: hanging out with the people she loves. Playing a relentless game of Scrabble. And still sleeping tush-to-tush with the same man to whom she's been married for sixty years.
Additional books will be available for purchase from A Likely Story Bookstore at the event.

Putting together a pretty holiday table setting is something I've always enjoyed. This year our Christmas Tablescape is done in Rose Gold and Blush. I'm loving the softer tones and they go well with my Christmas china.
I bought a rose gold tablecloth to use for Gloria's 30 birthday party and I knew then that I wanted to use it again for Christmas. I'm using a mixture of blush and gold chargers. I bought six of the blush chargers a few years ago at Michaels. I want more of them, but apparently, they no longer have these in stock. We're having ten people for Christmas dinner, so I used the blush chargers for the six settings on either end of the table and placed the gold ones in the middle four spots.
Our Christmas china is from Johnson Brothers. I received this as a Christmas gift the year we moved to Charleston and I've enjoyed using it since then.
JoAnn Fabric and Crafts had lovely rose gold floral picks this season. I love that they were on sale, plus I had an additional coupon to use for them. For the center of the table, I added some pearl bead picks to the floral ones and some swirly ribbons that I found at Walmart in the Christmas wrapping section.
I have smaller bunches of floral picks at both ends of the table.
The rose gold poinsettia blooms are my favorite floral. I made the easiest place cards for the table last year and I'm using them again this year. I found these pretty white gift tags with snowflake designs at the dollar spot at Target. Using a gold paint pen, I wrote our names on the cards and tucked a pearl floral pick into each card.
I think this is my favorite Christmas Tablescape for this table that I've put together. I hope our guests will find it welcoming! I've swapped out the large Iris Herringbone candle holders that I usually use on this table with small rose gold and blush holders. I added small berry wreaths around the holders.
Pin Me, Please!
Christmas Tablescape in Rose Gold and Blush
~ From my favorite Christmas song ~
"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, let your heart be light."

- 11spd XTR – BOOOOM
comes down to whether you have to ride on the road IMO, if you never ride fire roads, tarmac etc then a low high gear isn't an issue,
Since 10-42 is 1 gear each end away from a regular 2×10 then I guess it's not unless your bringing triples into it.Posted 6 years ago
Since 10-42 is 1 gear each end away from a regular 2×10 then I guess it's not unless your bringing triples into it.
exactly, you loose range going from 3-2 and again 2-1, depends on how much you are willing to loose, which depends on how and where you ride.
There is no right answer, just an answer.Posted 6 years ago
Chainset reminds me of this:
Posted 6 years ago
offering a triple in their flagship groupset? Surely no-one has bought one of those things for years?
cobblers, there's plenty of people on here running triples. As northwind said 3×9 pretty much had all bases covered, 10spd made doubles almost as good, 11 should be for single ring, not sure of the point if you don't. Cramming 10 cogs in an 11-32 cassette seemed way too close for offroad, they gonna try that in 11 too? The triple they have come up with seems daft, so much overlap. But each to their own, I never bother with triples as I grind the big ring on rocks too much, 32×11-36 should suit me for local rides but a 42 bailout gear would be nice, I'm gonna try a 42×11-36 on CX as that seems to cover the usual CX range and I'm guessing the bigger gaps won't bother me. Big day out bike will always have a granny ring tho.
I suppose a modular system where you run same shifters mechs crank and chain and just decide on number of cogs & rings is out of the question? 3×9 2×10 1×11 all available from the same groupset?
A good chunk of the XTR market is the same as the BMW/Audi one, so long as it has the badge it's the right one.
could be, I'm not normally an xtr customer, too tight/skint, just looking at what is in store for xt/slx. Underwhelmed so far.Posted 6 years ago
£200 hanging off the back of your frame, near those pointy rocks…?Posted 6 years ago

Just been looking at the XTR stuff on CRC. Compared with the XX1 it doesn't seem too badly priced with the 10% off they're doing for Easter, it works out about £560 for the full groupset.Posted 6 years ago
Still not sure about the crankset though 😕

Significant discount straight off, quite surprising.
Will it work on an XX1 cassette I wonder…Posted 6 years ago
this'll take the sting out of it 😉
Will it work on an XX1 cassette I wonder…
Also wondering this, though not for Di2, would the XTR mech and shifter work with the wider range SRAM cassette?Posted 6 years ago
Of course you could just go full SRAM, but for interests sake…

Not for the Metrosexual
I'm not your metrosexual male**, in fact far from it. I do have male friends that approach getting their hair cut from the same perspective as my female friends heading to their salon for a cut and perm. There are certainly some men-only and mixed shops to fulfill that need such as State Street Barbers in Chicago. Even in smaller towns you likely will find something with a lot of added show (try Tim's barber shop).
If on the other hand you are willing to go with something less than a "stylist" and take the opportunity to check the back corners of the inner city and suburbs you may still be able to find one of the dwindling number of traditional barbers, though it is getting a little harder as few young men or women are willing to pursue a career in a one-chair barber shop. I have managed to find a couple of favorites, depending on my location.
Pictured above is the Third One Barber Shop in Estes Park, my usual spot for a hair cut when I'm in the mountains. It is truly the classic, old time, small town barber shop where Field and Stream is neatly stacked next to the Playboys. My neck is snugly wrapped, hair efficiently cut, and then a vacuum brush run over my head before unwrapping my neck so that I don't have itchy hairs in my neck the rest of the day. The attitude is relaxed and the talk easy, and the tab is only $12 with tip.
** "The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis – because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere. For some time now, old-fashioned (re)productive, repressed, unmoisturized heterosexuality has been given the pink slip by consumer capitalism. The stoic, self-denying, modest straight male didn't shop enough (his role was to earn money for his wife to spend), and so he had to be replaced by a new kind of man, one less certain of his identity and much more interested in his image – that's to say, one who was much more interested in being looked at (because that's the only way you can be certain you actually exist). A man, in other words, who is an advertiser's walking wet dream."

A 9,000 Page Roman-fleuve
I was this past Christmas damned to spend endless weekends and late nights reading book after book about events of the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars. My daughter-in-law gave me the first in this series of 20 historical novels, and after reading it I was, so-to-speak, unable to not proceed to purchase the other 19 1/2 books in the series and displace many other books awaiting my attention.
The roman-fleuve (French, literally "river-novel") refers to an extended sequence of novels of which the whole acts as a commentary for a society or an epoch, and which continually deals with a central character, community or a saga within a family. The river metaphor implies a steady, broad dynamic lending itself to a perspective. Each volume makes up a complete novel by itself, but the entire cycle exhibits unifying characteristics.
Such is Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey–Maturin series of novels set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Each of these books starts and finishes with two friends, English Naval Captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician/naturalist/intelligence operative Stephen Maturin, who when not eating, drinking, or playing their violin and chello take part in historically accurate accounts of British Naval actions. The 20-novel series is a well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th century life, in particular life related to the Royal Navy, with authentic and evocative language and, I might add, occasional examples of early 19th century European medicine.
Throughout the series, the author-narrator employs the same idioms and vocabulary as the characters would have used during their times, and his characters probably would have conversed easily with those of Jane Austin. In addition to this period language, O'Brian tends to use naval jargon with no translation for the reader. This combination of the historical-voice narration and naval terms is daunting at first (at least to me); but it seems that this "total immersion" effect takes hold quickly. Sometimes, O'Brian explains (to we nautical and historical neophyte readers) these terms by having Mautrin tutored in these matters either by Jack Aubrey or some other seasoned seaman.
There is no "last book" that wraps everything up and ends the series. A partially-finished twenty-first novel in the series was published posthumously as a thin hardback with facing pages of handwriting and typescript. In "The Nutmeg of Consolation" (about book #13 or so) Maturin and Aubrey actually discuss the merits of a novel that does not have a real ending, a "final" chapter and conclusion, and I wonder if O'Brien was writing this with a foresight that the series would end only with his death. His final, partial novel ends in the middle of a story, but that is OK . . . I can imagine that Stephen and Aubry will go on and on, living forever their unique friendship and sailing the oceans for Britian, Ireland, Catalan Spain and for science.

Another "Connection"
(click on image to enlarge)
(click on image to enlarge)
It's always good to connect to one's past in some manner, and often that is through a physical connection with one's family or family history. People live on in our memories, and when something stimulates that memory I often pause for a bit of . . . I'm not sure just how to term it. It's more than nostalgia, it's a time when my consciousness drifts to past times and people, and those people really do live on in my memory. Of course, for most of us, this only last for a couple of generations or so.
Many years ago, Barbara and I were on a road trip through France and saw a small sign "American Cemetery" pointing to the right. With a brief nod to each other, we turned onto a narrow road that led us to a WW I American cemetery.
The Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery is spread over 130 undulating acres in the northeast of France near the Belgian border. This is the largest single burial site of American WWI casualties in Europe, almost 15,000. Most were victims of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in which the American Expeditionary Forces lost 26,000 killed and almost 100,000 wounded. Barbara and I went to the visitor's center and were greeted by the manager of the cemetery who was a US civil service employee at this monument-cemetery near the French-Belgium border. He seemed overly interested in us, asking lots of questions both specific and general. As it turns out, there were very few visitors to this place, and he was eager to spend some time talking with Americans. It was off the main road so there were not many "accidental' or drive-by visitors, and, even in 1974-5, the second generation family of those who were buried there were largely elderly or dead themselves so visiting family members were by then few and far between. Do most of these soldiers really "live on in memory" or are they largely now forgotten as individuals?
Now, to the picture on this post. My father retired from his last church ministry and wanted to physically step out of the way for the church to integrate a new minister. To do this gracefully, he took up a locums position some distance away. . . in this case Raton, NM. He would drive to Raton, preach for two Sundays in a row, then return to Kermit, TX for a few days before returning to Raton. Last Winter, Barbara and I were on our way from Estes Park to Palm Springs, and stopped in Raton to fill up with gasoline. We decided to drive the town, and see if we could find the church where my dad preached, and indeed, as the picture shows, we were successful. I took the picture, but then toured around the church a bit, with a strong memory of my father wandering through my thoughts.
Now, I certainly remember my father well, and my kids also have some fairly decent memories as well. Any generation to follow that will have some stories to tell, but there will be no direct memory. Beyond that, a few anecdotes might survive, but there will be no one who truly remembers Rev. John Floyd. This is a little sad, but true. Genealogists (like Barbara) doing their research are a good thing to have in a family, and artifacts like books or papers with the words will help. Pictures certainly are more plentiful than in the past, but now we have so many digital pictures with no captions (can't use a pencil to write "John Floyd" on the back of a digital file, and most people have not annotated their pictures digitally. The digital file folder in most peoples computers is little better than the old shoe box full of prints. I have a couple of thousand slides and at least that many prints to digitize, organize, and distribute to family members. This is no small challenge, but I think important for the future generations (but even this is likely a bit of self-deception.)
Few of us will become well known to future generations or even future civilizations (think Julius Caesar, Aristotle, etc). What I expect will really live on from my journey here is the change, however small, that may result from how I have lived my life and how I have related to my my family, my friends, and every other human whom I have touched in some way during my life. I hope on the whole I will have caused more good than not.

Much has been written on the murder of Nick Berg, and Wizbang played a large part in that coverage. I'm grateful for the appreciative comments and mail, and respectful of those who disagree with our coverage. One of the ongoing debates in the wake of the release of the video of the beheading is the role (or lack thereof) of traditional media outlets in the coverage of Nick Berg's murder. There is an interesting discussion at PressThink on the larger meaning of the dynamics of the story in the new media age.
I've made my position clear in, Big Media Has Failed You, and Glenn Reynolds rounded up reaction to the lack of main stream media coverage.
Regardless of how you feel about the availability of the video, millions of people viewed the video even though big media would not provide it to them, an issue sure to confront media organizations more often in the future as Jay Rosen alludes to in the closing of his article.
Way, way underneath these debates I find a disturbing fact. Even the smartest people in the major news media–and this is especially so in television news–have not really determined for themselves or explained to us exactly what their role should be in the worldwide fight against terrorism. "Cover it responsibly and well" doesn't begin to provide an answer. For it must have occurred to people high up in the network news divisions that the videotape of the beheading was made not only for Bush but for them, in their professional capacity. That is a fact they have to live with, and think about, whether or not they show us the gruesome act.
We are a long, long way from coming to grips with the fact that political violence worldwide incorporates media coverage worldwide. Terrorism can be many things, but it is always an attempt at communication; and a free press in an open society "completes" the act. So it's not true that Al Queda kidnapped and beheaded an American. Al Queda kidnapped and beheaded an American and videotaped it in order to shock and sicken us when we found out. It's not easy to decide what to do with that if you run a news network. But there is no option not to decide. There may have been a time when news judgment and political judgment could be kept safely apart, but that was an era unlike our own.
Well said…

How exactly to Write a Case Study: precise guideline you should utilize in order to appeal to the reader and get high grades!
An instance study is really a documentation which involves analysis and a particular research design that examines an issue. Both of these practices are employed mostly to generalize across populations. The purpose of the paper is always to thoroughly investigate a concern to be able to expose a new understanding of the research problem.
Mostly the dwelling of the case study is certainly not distinctive from compared to college research piece. If you should be unfamiliar with the design and structure of composing a beneficial research study, then this short article is created specifically for your needs. It has appropriate tips on how to compose a case study that is good. Here are the important components to aid in organizing an incident research research.
The introduction is an crucial element of any writing, and not a situation study. Whenever writing a full example, your introduction should act as an opening when it comes to readers to comprehend the objective of study. The introduction needs to be strong to attract and catch the attention of your reader. If you neglect to capture your reader's attention when you look at the introduction, it'll be hard to convince visitors to read your research study. The introduction; nevertheless, should not explain the research issue but should you will need to describe why the situation is being utilized and how it really is pertaining to the difficulty. Both of these elements must certanly be linked so your introduction will come down strong.
A introduction that is good have the ability to respond to these concerns: what exactly is being studied? Why is this issue important for investigation? Just How will the research advance brand new methods of understanding? Each of these concerns must certanly be outlined and addressed in a paragraphs that are few.
Literature Review
The literature review has to be dedicated to supplying back ground information and interpretation regarding the analysis associated with extensive research issue the situation is meant to deal with. The method involves synthesizing of studies where you identify brand new methods of interpreting prior research. In addition, you need certainly to point out of the need of providing another extra research. Describe how the main topic of analysis this is certainly forming the actual situation research will assist you to resolve the contradictions that are existing.
At this time, you are expected to explain why you have got selected the topic of analysis plus the strategy you used. How you describe the technique utilized will change to some degree with respect to the subject that pertains to the research study. a tip that is important never forget is the fact that the selection of the truth cannot appear random. The data you used to aid the methodology and used to select your subject of analysis should be linked to the findings. It is usually wise to cite any previous studies that helped you in seeking the instance to analyze.
Right Here, the elements that are main you may use are exactly the same as those of a study paper. They must be predicated on interpreting and drawing conclusions on the findings from your own research study. a science that is social can contain a different area where they report their findings. However, in a case study, the description for the findings that are key be coupled with their implications.
The conversation should state the major findings because well as explaining this is among these findings. As of this section, also think http://writing-service-reviews.com/ about any alternate explanations to the findings. You should understand that the purpose of the research study would be to find out rather than to see. Also look at the study's limitation which is within the conclusion part.
The final outcome must certanly be summarized in a definite and language that is simple. Don't forget to stress the way the findings differ or support a previous research. Provide a well analysis that is detailed of key findings that have now been presented within the paper to demonstrate the way they address the investigation issue. When you look at the summary part remember you will need to restate the primary argument that is sustained by the findings through the analysis.
Key Points To Notice
You'll want to don't forget to explain certain restrictions which can be inherent within the subject analysis.
You have to be thorough in considering all recommendations that are possible the findings you just based in the analysis.
When conclusion that is drawing be cautious and guarantee that it's evidence-backed and grounded in the outcomes.

For 856 years, Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral has been a source of inspiration and glory to both Parisians and visitors from all over the world. In the wake of the massive April 15th fire that destroyed the cathedral's roof and caused its 300-foot spire to collapse, it is somewhat consoling to know that at least not all has been lost. The two iconic bell towers, in addition to the 13th century stained glass rose windows, miraculously survived the damage.
The desire to rebuild is strong. However, the timing is likely to take a lot more than just 5 years. This declaration, which was made by French President Emmanuel Macron, has met its fair share of scrutiny over the past few weeks since the fire. Many sources state that given the size of the gigantic, medieval architecture, it could take decades.

Roque rebukes PNoy: De Lima detained for drugs, not political beliefs
MANILA Detained Senator Leila de Lima is detained in Camp Crame for serious drug charges and not because of her political beliefs, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque told former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III on Monday.
Roque made this comment following Aquino's call to the public to support De Lima during the launch of her electronic book Dispatches from Crame".
De Lima is one of the staunchest critics of President Rodrigo R. Duterte.
We take note of the opinion of former President Benigno Aquino III on Senator Leila de Lima. With all due respect to the former President, Senator Leila de Lima is not fighting for her principle and was not detained because of her political beliefs, Roque said in a press statement.
The lady Senator was arrested and incarcerated because of serious drug charges where she was accused of allowing the illegal drug trade to proliferate inside the National Bilibid Prison when she was the DOJ Secretary, he added.
De Lima has been detained in Camp Crame for over a year now over drug trafficking charges.
Roque earlier expressed hope that De Lima Lima would remain healthy enough to live a long life after she was given a one-day medical furlough to have a CT scan of the liver at the Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City early this month.
De Lima said her physician at the Philippine National Police (PNP) General Hospital advised her to undergo further examination after finding an impression of a liver mass.
Roque said despite De Lima being one of the President's staunchest critics, the President himself did not wish De Lima or anyone ill.
I don't think the President wishes anyone ill as far as health issues are concerned. As I said, we want her to enjoy a long life wherever but we want her to have a long life, Roque said.
De Lima, however, said there was nothing to worry about her health.

#VPIWF: 10 Wines 2 Try
1: Chile - Viña Montes - "Montes Folly"
Chile is the Global Focus for the 2012 festival and talk of the emergence of Chilean Syrah will be buzzing around the tasting floor. None is better than the Folly. Elegant and superbly refined. Tasting notes on the 2006 vintage.
2: Italy - Antinori "Tignanello"
Seek this wine out for two reasons. 1) It's a $100+ bottle of wine that once you taste you'll think to yourself, "Yes it is!" and 2) The Tignanello is the quintessential Super Tuscan that will give you a glimpse as to what all the fuss is about with this popular collectors choice.
3: Canada - Painted Rock Estate Winery - "Red Icon"
If time allows then by all means try the complete Painted Rock portfolio, you won't be disappointed. However, if you have time for only one wine then it must be the Red Icon. It's a worthy member of this top 10 list for its unique blend and gorgeous refinement. A pricey wine to be sure, but one you just might seek out at the BC Liquor Store attached to the festival tasting floor. Tasting notes on the 2008 and 2009 vintages.
4: Australia - Yalumba "FDR1A"
Clearly, this is not Pendfolds' Bin 389, but it is a great Aussie Cab-Shiraz blend with a long history dating back to 1974 when the first "Fine Dry Red 1A" was released by Australia's oldest winery, Yalumba. Force your way up to the front to get poured a sip of Australian history.
5: USA - Stag's Leap Wine Cellars - "Artemis"
The Artemis is a blended Cabernet Sauvignon from multiple Napa Valley lots (only a few from the famed Stag's Leap District) which may not offer a single terroir experience but does deliver constantly expressive fruit, excellent balance and elegant structure year-in, year-out. Yummy, chewy Chardonnays are also worth a taste.
6: Australia - Majella Wines "Sparkling Shiraz"
Most folks like their bubbles blond and French but the growing trend of pink Champagne and Cava may help to bring the fizz drinking public round to Australia's own, Sparkling Shiraz. The Majella offering is made in the traditional method of Champagne and finds the balance of representing the characters of a fine Shiraz with that of a cold, refreshing drink. Must be tasted to be believed. Notes on their 2005 release.
7: Canada - Mission Hill Family Estate - "Oculus"
The 2007 Oculus was worth the hype. When I first tasted it at the 2011 festival it blew me away with its concentration and complexity. Unfortunately, the winery decided to only make it available through their own wine shop and thus I have not tasted it since, nor have I been able to review it. No news yet on which vintage the Kelowna winery will be pouring of their flagship wines. Tasting notes on the 2004, 2005 and 2006 vintages.
8: France - M. Chapoutier "La Bernardine"
Michel Chapoutier has a growing portfolio of wines with new entries from lesser-know regions like Côtes-du-Roussillon, but his heart remains in the Rhone Valley. La Bernardine is a fixture of the portfolio and offers excellent typicity for a Châteauneuf-du-Pape blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Look for subtle yet complex, cassis and plum fruit with garrique, spice and earth notes.
9: Canada - Tawse Winery - Cabernet Franc
There really isn't anything that Tawse Winery, the sole Ontario firm to make the trip this year, can't do well-to-great. For me it's a toss-up as to what they truly do "best" between Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc but since many regions and appellations make excellent Chardonnay, my suggestion is to make sure and try the Tawse Cabernet Franc - a uniquely Canadian example of the Bordeaux variety. Preferably, request to taste the Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc.
10: USA - Chateau Ste. Michelle - "Eroica"
Produced in the Columbia Valley, the Eroica Riesling is a joint venture with Germany's Dr. Loosen. One can only hope that Chateau Ste. Michelle will be wise enough to bring this amazing Riesling with them to the festival. Truly one of the best Rieslings I have yet tasted. Notes on the 2008 and 2009 vintages.

Asylum seekers who lack access to regular migration pathways pay people to help them travel to Australia - one of the few nations in the Asia-Pacific region that has ratified the UN 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
In Indonesia, those organizing the transport of asylum seekers to Australia generally recruit local Indonesian villagers to work as crew on boats. Oftentimes, the crew are impoverished Indonesian fisherman from remote villages without access to Internet or media. As a result, they are unaware of Australian "people smuggling" laws, which carry harsh penalties for all people involved, regardless of whether they are crew or organisers. The fishermen are given false or limited information by the organizers who leave the boat before it enters Australian waters, where it is generally intercepted by the Australian Navy.
Until late August 2012, crew and organisers were indiscriminately charged with an offence carrying a mandatory five-year jail sentence - regardless of their level of culpability. They were also detained indefinitely, generally for several months, prior to being charged with any offence.
The UNSW Human Rights Clinic has worked on several projects focusing on the human rights implications of Australia's laws, policies and practices surrounding the prosecution of Indonesian crew for people smuggling offences and the restrictions regarding prison gratuities. These include:
- Individual Communication to the United Nations Human Rights Committee on behalf of Indonesian fisherman, Mr Nasir, challenging mandatory sentencing laws and indefinite pre-charge detention.
- Analysis of Commonwealth government's Directive on the freezing of prisoner gratuities and related Freedom of Information requests.
- Creation of a password-protected People Smuggling Prosecutions "Wiki" used by Legal Aid lawyers, private solicitors and barristers representing "people smuggling" defendants across Australia, that gathered and analysed relevant case law, legislation and government policies.

When baking, cooking dinner, or whipping up a batch of eggs there are many subtle things that we never notice. Unless you are a professional chef chances are you never think (or look) twice at what is inside the raw egg. For most people, unless it comes out with a tinge of red or a chunk of shell in it we simply move on.
Think about it, have you ever really looked at one? I mean, really took a good, long, close-up look at one? Because if you have, no doubt you were quite surprised at some of the things you saw lurking inside this beloved food.
For starters, have you ever noticed those strange white strings inside a raw egg? Well, they're there for a reason and they actually tell you a lot about the egg you're about to eat, which is why we wanted to tell you everything you ever wanted to know about these odd little strings, known scientifically as chalazae.
What are these little strings? Could they pose a threat to your health if consumed?
