More reviews by fairladyzzxchik
Great medium coverage foundation!! Very light-weight. I always use this foundation for all my weddings because it doesn't look heavy and doesn't feel like your wearing anything. For those having issues this is a HIGHLY pigmented product meaning you use less product, this is a good thing. Here's the trick: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! It is sooo important to hydrate then prime before using any product for optimal results. think of it like this, your skin is like a sponge so it is going to absorb the product before it can have a chance to blend. Even if you are oily, still hydrate, but with something more lightweight and comfortable. Once skin is prepped, take a tiny amount and blend with fingertips starting in center then with a sponge blend out, this will give flawless coverage but won't leave a heavy caked on effect. Best of all it is buildable!
i am nc 30 and in this foundation my shade is vanilla beige...i have very oily skin with acne scars and everytime i put this on it makes my skin look flawless and smooth..(i apply mostly with finhgers looks justas goood with flat top brush or just bout any brush)i could probly go a shade darker...this foundation doesnt melt off my face med to full coverage doesnt break me out nor oxidize.i only blot my face once or twice witthis on. sometimes it looks good inphotos other times i look pale..i would buy again despite even though its so expensive 42 plus tax!

I decided to try this product after my normal foundation was recalled (Clinic Superfit). I read some great reviews about Laura Mercier foundation and decided to give it a try. My face is dry, but VERY oily in my T-zone. With most foundations I have to use an oil blotter about 2-3 times while at work for 12 hours (under office flourescent lighting). With this product, I havent had to use one AT ALL!
I also love that in outdoor natural sunlight, my face looks matte and not oily with foundation. I use with the finishing powder and it looks great.
The reason I didnt give it 5 stars, is because im a little worried. Clinic made my skin look great with no make up on. But reading reviews about this product, im nervous about getting that "gray/dirty" look after using for awhile. So I suppose, I'll have to just wait and see. So far, have only been using 3 weeks. I will keep you posted !
**UPDATE: Lowered my rating due to the fact that it seemed to make my actual face appear "dull" after prolonged use. After a month of not using it, my skin tone has improved dramatically. Will not be repurchasing.

After all the great things I've heard about her products, I was excited to try her oil-free foundation. Unfortunately, like many others, this was not the one for me. The only shade that came close to my skin color ended up looking ashy on my face, until my face started getting oily, which then the foundation basically melted off. Personally, I feel like trying to find the perfect foundation to match your skin tone & type is like a dating process, and it sucks!
This product just popped into my mind. I remember using this foundation years ago & I thought that it was the most uncomfortable foundation that I had ever used. It's extremely heavy for an oil-free foundation. I always felt as if I wanted to wash my face while wearing this product. This foundation made my face feel dirty & grimey. Also, this foundation would slide off parts of my face only after a few hours of wear. If I were to rub my nose or scratch an itch on my chin, noticable makeupless spots could be seen in those areas. I would then have to reapply the foundation just to make it look somewhat even again. One should NEVER have to reapply liquid foundation throughout the day. That's what blotting/setting powders are for. It didn't break me out but it looked cakey, felt heavy, & made my face look greasy. Would definitely not recommend for oily skinned individuals.

1. Drying (face and around eyes) and creates lines
2. Settles into pores
3. Hard to blend because it dries up quickly
4. Very pricey
5. It could make you look older
6. Looks somewhat dull in pictures
I wore it for a few days and I got small bumps on my cheeks. I think it's clogging my pores though I have been cleaning my face well at night. I think it might be due to the high concentration of talc in the product. My face was covered with red bumps after I washed my make up off tonight!

I have already been using the LM oil free tinted moisturiser for a few months and like it for summer but for winter (its really cold and horrible in the UK now) I wanted more coverage.
With the tinted moisturiser I love the texture and light feel on my skin but found that it doesn't last all that long. The foundation is very difficult to apply as it dries VERY quickly and has a paste-like texture which I found difficult to blend.
The salesguy said to use a sponge but I found that most of the product soaked into the sponge so I tried a brush. However this left streaks so I then had to blend with my fingers. Once applied I brushed on loose powder and found it to look quite cakey and it seemed to show up any dry patches, pores and lines a lot. It did cover marks but to be honest I use the LM concealer underneath which does a great job of covering any blemishes.
After a couple of hours wearing it looked a little better as some of my natural oils (but not too much) had come through to make it look more natural, but dry patches flaked off taking the foundation with it :(
The foundation did last all day and I wasn't very oily where I would normally be - that is one thing that was great about this product but the texture was far too cakey and the application too difficult to use all the time.
Maybe this would be better for someone with really oily skin as I have combination with some dry patches where blemishes are healing.
I will go back to using the oil free tinted moisturiser and maybe start using a primer to keep it in place.
This was my hg foundation for about 6 years! But during the past two years I've noticed how dull almost gray (with red spotted discolorations) my skin looks after i remove this from my face each night. Thought it was my relatively new cig smoking habit, work related stress, and even the humid climate here in the bay area (I'm originally from south orange county). But in addition to all these factors, Im now starting to think i have some sort of bioaccumulation from all the toxic chemicals from this foundation (just as 99% of all department store and drugstore makeup has) where my body simply cannot purge the toxic residues of this foundtion as quickly as I can put it on. I just tried using a more natural foundation (free of synthetic dyes and fragrances, mineral oil, parabens, sodium laural sulfate, etc etc) and now when i remove my makeup, my skin looks actually brighter, almost glowing. This LM product was great, providing full coverage that was light yet flawless, matching my skin tone, while also keeping me from breaking out, but now i see that there are consequences from repeated daily applications of chemically synthesized makeup, most notably foundation. More power to the people who can wear all these chemicals without damaging their skin but i think my HG foundation lies somewhere in the organic makeup isle!
I really like this foundation. I purchased in Sunny Beige. I have combination skin & it lasted all day with a thin powder coverage on top (I use HD Powder). Very silky smooth with No breakouts at all. Coverage builds great for when you need a tad bit more if going out at night. One pump for day wear. I love the Laura Mercier line.
I have used this foundation for a few years now. I am fair and neutral toned, and wear this in Warm Ivory for most of the year and Vanilla Beige if I get more tan over the summer. I have oily acne prone skin that is getting drier on my cheeks due to aging and acne treatments. This foundation has never let me down. I apply with a damp BeautyBlender sponge and this looks airbrushed on me. Lasts all day and never sinks into my pores or fine lines. I do wear a mattifying primer or sunscreen under. No breakouts from it, either. I highly, highly recommend. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because it annoys me that this doesn't go on well with my fingers (since it's silicone free, it doesn't spread very easily).

China's aquatic diversity in danger: Experts
April 6th, 2011 - 4:38 pm ICT by ANIShanghai, Apr.6 (ANI): Almost 70 percent of fish resources in the Pearl River, China's third longest river, is under threat due to excessive damming, experts have warned.
Estimates suggest that more than 260 fish species will face extinction in the next five to 10 years due to dams being constructed along the river and its tributaries and if greater efforts are not made to protect the endangered species, they could become extinct like the Yangtze River Dolphin, a 20 million-year-old species nicknamed "the goddess of the Yangtze".
Li Xinhui, a researcher with the Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, said construction work has disrupted migration routes taken by some fish species and changed the environment of many spawning places.
Samples collected near the biggest spawning site along the river show that both the number of individual fish and the number of fish species have declined significantly in the past three years, Xinhua quoted Li as saying.
Li also noted that the numbers of many types of common freshwater fish have decreased as result of changes in the aquatic environment.
The four major species of freshwater fish in China, black carp, grass carp, silver carp and crucian carp, have become rare as their spawning rates have fallen, while the numbers of alien species have risen.
Rare and endemic fish, such as Dabry's sturgeon, a unique species that has been living in the Yangtze River for more than 140 million years, and the Hilsa herring, have also disappeared in recent years from the Pearl river as a result of over-fishing and deteriorating water quality.
In order to maintain the diversity of aquatic species in China, Li suggested that changes should be made in the construction of Dams in the river to allow fish to migrate and spawn. One way of doing this could be the construction of separate channels that fish can take upstream to their spawning sites. (ANI)

Hove 2015 candidate asks Labour delegates to "respect" Brighton
5:01pm Saturday 21st September 2013 in News By Tim Ridgway, Local government reporter
Labour activists in Brighton and Hove have welcomed their party colleagues to the city – with one potential MP politely asking they respect the place.
About 10,000 delegates from across the country are expected to visit for the annual event.
For members of Brighton and Hove Labour it gives them a chance to get national support on campaigning for local issues.
With 2015 seeing local and national elections on the same day, it is hoped this will give them momentum to try and win back the three MP seats the party lost in 2010.
Addressing delegates, Peter Kyle, the party's candidate for Hove, said: "It's great that the thousands of delegates arriving over the weekend will see Brighton and Hove at it's best.
"The sun will be shining and the restaurants will be buzzing so there's no better place to have a conference.
"Enjoy yourselves, keep safe and don't forget to respect our beautiful city."
Purna Sen, Labour's candidate for Brighton Pavilion, said: "It's great to have conference in this wonderful city.
"Together we must make it work for all who live and work here - young, old unemployed, homeless, minorities.
"At conference we affirm our commitment and renew our energies to make this country work for us all, not just the few."
Warren Morgan, Labour group leader on Brighton and Hove City Council, said: "I'm delighted to welcome Labour colleagues back to the city for Conference 2013 and I'm delighted that it will be a boost to local businesses.
"I hope that delegates enjoy not just the sea air and great hospitality we have to offer, but leave infused with some of the renewed energy and campaign enthusiasm we have for taking on the Tories and their divisive policies."

After 36 years in Washington, D.C., few things phase me. But there is one thing that still makes my blood boil -- when the Nanny State's P.C. police try to silence somebody with whom they disagree.
I plead guilty to being a First Amendment fanatic. The First Amendment guarantees that every American has the right to speak his piece without fear of being arrested or otherwise harmed as a result of his opinions or beliefs.
At least that's how it's supposed to be. Nowadays, everywhere you turn, there's the P.C. police telling us what we can and cannot think or say. That's why Chick-fil-A chief Dan Cathy walked into P.C. Hell this week after professing his belief that marriage only includes a man and a woman.
Think what you will of Cathy's views about marriage. I couldn't care less whether you agree with him or think he's from another planet. The point is, the Constitution says you get your say, and so does he.
But that's not what we get from the P.C. police and their slavish followers, like Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino. Both of them threatened to invoke the power of government to prevent Chick-fil-A from locating in their jurisdictions.
Nobody should be surprised to find the mayor of Chicago sees no problem with using his office to silence those with whom he disagrees. Just to be safe, Cathy should avoid dimly lit Italian eateries if he ever again sets foot in Al Capone's hometown.
Nor should we be surprised to hear such clap-trap from the mayor of New England's biggest city. After all, it wasn't that long ago that Beantown's Puritan ancestors put dissenters in the stocks, burned witches at the stake and exiled contrary preachers like *Roger Williams to the wilds of Rhode Island.
The Founders put the First Amendment in the Constitution to protect the rest of us from people like Emanuel and Menino, within and without government, who seek to use government to enforce their preferred orthodoxies.
It's no coincidence that, as the First Amendment Center's Charles C. Haynes pointed out recently, much of the pressure for adding the First Amendment to the original Constitution came from Baptists and Presbyterians in Virginia who feared being squashed by the Episcopal Establishment in Richmond.
None of this matters to the fanatics who are determined to track down and punish anybody with contrary opinions and thereby to make sure everybody thinks and speaks only approved views. "Live and let live" simply isn't part of the P.C. police vocabulary. Neither is the idea that nobody is forced to buy Chick-fil-A waffle fries. Go to McDonalds or Burger King -- or nowhere at all, if you prefer.
Here's something else the P.C. police apparently never think about: What will they do when, having gutted the First Amendment for others, they find themselves being told to shut up?
Maybe then they'll understand Thomas More's urgent query in "A Man for All Seasons" to the young fanatic, William Roper, who would "cut down every law in England to get at the Devil."
To which More replied: "Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat?"
More ultimately lost his head to the axman for speaking his mind, thanks to the P.C. police of his day goading King Henry VIII into a bloody rage. Dare we risk discovering that the only thing different with such people today is their weapon of choice?
* Corrected from earlier version.

Transparent Labels in WinForms
One really annoying thing about WinForms is that there's no built in support for transparency for controls. If you want to create a label and want it to blend into any custom background colors this isn't inherently supported. There are a few, not so obvious way around this problem.

A Brief Introduction Some of you out there might have forgotten those old programming concepts of olden times. Well, here's a quick refresher over those confounded programming concepts. (Such as variables, procedures, control flow, and so on...) What programming is all about Well, programming is about controlling the computer. And to control the compiler we give it a program, which is a sequence of instructions. That's why it's called programming. And how do you program? First, you use a language. Then you get a compiler, then voila! You're a programmer! Pascal is an example of a programming language, and the most popular compilers on the market for Pascal come from Inprise. Visit their website to find out about Turbo Pascal or Delphi, if you don't have them yet. Those are the compilers we'll be using throughout this webpage. The Inprise site is at www.inprise.com. Remember, programming can be both a fun and painful hobby, depending on how you view it. So, look on the bright side, and take it lightly. You're dealing with computers, remember? So just sit back and enjoy the ride! The different parts of programming Now, even before we even get into Pascal, let's ask the question you've all been waiting for: What is inside programming? Well, to answer this question, we'll try to tell you the typical parts of every programming language, whether it's Pascal, C++, or BASIC. We'll use this list as a guide later on.
In the next few courses, we'll discuss these topics in depth. Of course, since you should have some experience with programming at least, we won't go any further than what we think you need. With that in mind, you can either go on, or select any other course of your choice. Whatever it is, enjoy yourself! |

Hi guys,
I have finished unlocking my iPhone and getting you tube working. I bought four sim cards to see which would work best as I live in a village in the woods.
I found that o2 worked best of all. Not wanting to be on expensive PAYG, I searched for an O2 contract and came up with one from here:-
I got an LG Cocolate (which will be going on ebay) with 800 minutes and 500 texts. I had 12 months free line rental. You have to pay £45 a month for the first 4 months then you get a cheque for £108 in months 4,6,8,10 and 12.

Owning an RV gives you the freedom to travel far and wide, taking in the sights from sea to shining sea. If your battery dies, though, you're about as mobile as Plymouth Rock. Luckily, maintaining a fresh charge is as easy as plugging into a PowerMax PM3 Series Power Supply.
Packed with high-tech guts, your PowerMax PM3 Series Power Supply converts shore power into a clean, reliable flow of DC juice to trickle-feed your battery and run your electrical system. Whether you're sitting idle or running all your appliances at once, it automatically switches between three modes to handle any load: 13.2 Vdc float when your RV isn't being used, 13.6 Vdc absorption for normal operating conditions and 14.4 Vdc bulk when your system is stressed.
While feeding your RV's power system, the PowerMax PM3 Series Power Supply also stands guard against circuit damage. It boasts built-in reverse battery protection and automatically shuts down if it's overloaded or approaching a short-circuit. Because its smart cooling fan only kicks on when needed, your PowerMax PM3 won't keep you up all night with a loud, droning whirl. And, it's backed by a 2-year warranty.

The PowerMax PM3 was easy to install and appears to be well made. It arrived at my door about 4 days after I placed my order on line. I've customized a 1978 VW bus to look like a small fire truck and needed to power all the horns, lights, sirens, sound system and more when I attend shows and events. I've only had it installed for a week, but it seems to be working great so far.

Man hospitalised after major house fire in Spurfield Road, West Molesey
1:51pm Friday 6th September 2013 in News By Laura Proto
A man was taken to hospital as firefighters tackled a burning house in West Molesey this afternoon.
It is believed there was a gas explosion at the house in Spurfield this afternoon, September 6.
Neighbours said the explosion rocked the area.
A man living opposite the house said paper on his desk shook when the explosion happened.
His wife, Tatiana Humphrias, said: "I heard a bang and came out straight away and called 999.
"I saw the fire coming out of the garage and the garage door was blown away.
"There were a few people calling 999 and the fire developed so quickly and then in five minutes the fire brigade came and the fire was spreading quickly.
"The car was in front of the garage and was about to explode but the fire brigade stopped it."
The fire started at about 1.20pm.
The area is swarming with firefighters from Esher, Painshill and Cobham are on the scene.
Spurfield in West Molesey remains closed and police advised people to avoid the area.
A man in his 40s has been taken to hospital as a result of the fire.
A spokesman from South East Coast Ambulance Service sad: "We were called just before 1.30pm to reports of a fire and of some explosions in Spurfield, West Molesey.
"We sent two ambulances to the scene.
"A man, believed to be in his 40s, was taken to Kingston Hospital suffering from smoke inhalation."
The whole front of the three-storey house was destroyed and the glass from the windows has gone.
Firefighters are using a crane to hose down the roof of the house and the house next door.
Fire crews have cordoned off an area in Spurfield, while a Surrey Police cordon remains in place slightly further along the same street.
Firefighters were seen putting on breathing apparatus as they tackled the blaze.
Onlookers said the fire may have spread to the next house on the end of terrace and a there is a foul stench of smoke.
Jan Decogan, who lives in nearby Victoria Close, said: "I heard a massive explosion and I thought it was a cat flap at first and then five minutes later I looked out the window and saw loads of smoke.
"It's just amazing how quickly this can happen."
No one else was treated at the scene and the other ambulance has left.
Surrey Police are also on the scene. A spokesman said: "We were called to the scene at about 1.25pm assisting Surrey Fire and Rescue service."
The operation is being led by Surrey Fire and Rescue service.
One man reported seeing a huge plume of smoke, near Tesco in Hurst Road.
Unconfirmed reports said a house had caught fire after a gas leak caused an explosion.

- n. The condition resulting from bad fortune or ill luck: wanted to help those in misfortune.
- n. A distressing occurrence: "Misfortunes are too apt to wear out Friendship" ( Charlotte Charke).

- n. bad luck

from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English
- n. Bad fortune or luck; calamity; an evil accident; disaster; mishap; mischance.
- intransitive v. To happen unluckily or unfortunately; to miscarry; to fail.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. Ill fortune; especially, adverse fortune for which the sufferer is not directly responsible; adversity.
- n. An unfortunate event or circumstance; a mishap or accident; anything that causes harm or disappointment: as, he had the misfortune to break his leg; it was his misfortune, not his fault.
- n. A lapse from virtue.
- n. Synonyms Mischance, Mishap, Misfortune, Disaster, Calamity, Catastrophe, misadventure, ill, harm, reverse, blow, stroke, trouble. The first six words are arranged in the order of strength: they agree in denoting untoward events, produced by causes presumably independent of the sufferer. Mischance is the lightest word for that which is really disagreeable; a mishap may be comparatively a trivial thing; both generally apply to the experience of individuals. Misfortune is the most general of these words; a misfortune is a really serious matter; it may befall a person, family, or nation. A very serious misfortune affecting large numbers is a calamity, the central idea of which is wide-spread and general mischief. A disaster is not necessarily wide-spread; it is generally sudden, and its importance is in its effects upon other interests, as marring or ruining particular plans, hopes, courses, or conditions of things. A disaster may befall an individual; a calamity can come to an individual only by affecting his welfare largely, or bringing him into deep distress. A catastrophe is strictly a great misfortune bringing things to an end, a final crash, a finishing stroke: as, this brought on the catastrophe. See affliction.
- To fall out unfortunately or unhappily; fail or miscarry.

12 Days of Edible Gifts: Brioche and Herbed Butter
If you've never made brioche, the dough is pretty simple, but it has to rise three times before it's ready for baking, so be patient. Don't have the special brioche tins? Make the bread in small ramekins or a regular bread pan. Be sure to make plenty because once you taste these, you won't want to give them all away! For the gift of bread and butter, keep reading.

Biggest Headline of 2010: Michelle Obama Helms Food Policy Reform
After setting a local, sustainable example with their very own White House garden, Obama opened her doors to the Food Network for a truly special episode of Iron Chef America. The administration even released a video detailing the garden's expansion efforts.
Obama's first priority, however, was in public policy. She launched Let's Move, a national campaign to end childhood obesity, and personally appealed to corporate food giants, asking them to produce and market more healthful food for kids.
Notable companies heeded her call: both Kraft and Campbell's slashed sodium, while beverage titans removed full-calorie sodas from schools. Part of the campaign was Chefs Move to Schools, a partnership between chefs and local schools that had the backing of Rachael Ray, Tom Colicchio, and Cat Cora, among others.
But Obama's most groundbreaking moment came earlier this month, when she joined the president and members of Congress to sign the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which created national standards for all food served in schools. Stay tuned to see how she'll take things to the next level in 2011.

The total consideration for the purchase was GBP92.4m (net of acquisition costs) reflecting an average net initial yield after purchasers' costs of 7.8 per cent.
The acquisition, which delivers day one income of circa GBP7.5m, generates an initial cash return of over 12 per cent when combined with the Reit's existing debt facilities and will continue to grow as fixed rental uplifts on approximately 50 per cent of the income fall due.

I managed to wangle a few hours at the OccupyLSX protest camp at St Pauls Cathedral this week : I don't trust media reporting of things like this and thought it better to find out for myself. About 100 tents, I'd say, including the welcome/info tent, the multi-faith prayer tent, the first aid station, the kitchen tent, the coffee bar tent (all free food, by the way — guests and donations welcome), the Tent University for seminars, linked to the library ('Starbooks', opposite Starbucks). Photo album here.
I met all sorts : a retired theatre director, a supply teacher, an archaeologist between digs, American students, local workers popping in to help with the kitchen or whatever, visiting speakers, some seriously knowledgeable and professional activists and organisers, a few drifters and layabouts, and one complete nutcase from Merseyside in a smart suit. Oh, and a sharp-witted Irish street poet hanging around the fringe extracting money from people. I joined in a seminar led by some lovely young anarchists who'd never led anything like it before and weren't much good — but once people started challenging their ideas they revealed a much greater wisdom than first impressions gave. People were extremely interested in my Christian input, and Jesus was very highly thought of — the 'Big Man'. Then we had a pretty technical talk on Land Value Tax from a former Vice-Chair of the old Greater London Council, the notorious (to some) Dave Wetzel. There was a bit of street theatre, which had led a local bank branch to close its doors. "A bank closed by poetry" was the claim.
There was a full programme of events. A lot of effort was spent on making sure the camp remained harmonious, welcoming, safe and tidy, with notices up reminding people not to make a noise when prayers were being said in the Cathedral (whose staff, after the initial mishandling, maintain constant friendly contact). Inevitably the camp has attracted some of the very vulnerable, marginal people in London who've gone there because they find a welcome they don't find anywhere else. They were unsurprised, albeit disappointed, that the London Evening Standard had twisted this into a front page headline "Needle bins at St Paul's camp to beat junkie health hazard".
The twice-daily Assembly ('Church Meeting') where policies are thrashed out and occupiers are briefed about similar events happening worldwide, was a mixture of good discussion and tedious debate about admin and procedure. Sound familiar? I saw the 'elders' of the camp preparing for the meeting in Starbucks beforehand. They'd a lot on their plate : they've just planted a 'mission church' by occupying a large building in Hackney (left vacant by the multinational bank UBS for years) and turning it into a 'Bank of Ideas' (http://www.bankofideas.org.uk/welcome/) and community centre. Quite apart from the logistics of getting that running there were all the court hearings to prepare for.
At the heart of this are thoroughly organised, very inventive and creative people with determination and a passion for a better society. Like us, they can't describe the 'Kingdom of God' in all its details, but they know what is not'kingdom-like' and are trying to explore and model a different way.
My overall impression : "All the right questions, right spirit, right organisation. Living out a lot of the answers." All in all, just what I'd want the United Reformed Church to be, and in many ways, perhaps, what we are already in a very unobtrusive way. Except, perhaps, without the passion and spirit.

Day One - London to Port Burwell
The original online journal entry:
Actual Date: 2005-08-05
Sat, 6 Aug 2005 10:25:52 -0400
Distance: 81.95 km
Even though I started a new tour today I also have a sense of deja vu because this tour takes me back to the area of my very first bicycle tour.
I was surprised today by the similarities and differences between two tours with the same starting and ending points but many miles of touring experience apart.
I actually started pedaling during my first tour at around 11:00 in the morning. I recall that day as being extremely hot but with an exceptionally strong tail wind for that time of year. My touring bike still had the painful ergonomically correct seat and my gear was all above the rear wheel with most of it in two rear saddlebags and the remainder in a garbage bag sitting on top of the rear rack. I had no other bags at that time.
Today my bike is set up far differently with three Ortlieb saddlebags (2 front, 1 rear right) and a bear keg (rear left). An Arkel large handlebar bag rides on the handlebars along with my mascot, Mr Smiley, and an Air Zound Horn. Just beneath the bars a small add-on bar holds my Hac 4+. Completing the gear is a flag pole with a Bicycle Touring 101 flag and of course I now ride a very comfortable Brook's B-17 leather saddle.
Today's ride started immediately after work and although the route was at first the same my experience on it wasn't. As is usually the case I met some interesting people on the pedal out of London but as I reached the outer perimeter the extreme sport part of the ride began.
You probably think that I am about to mention insane traffic but the reality was far different with relatively empty roads and peaceful drivers.
Construction zones are actually something that I tend to enjoy while touring. While you never know exactly what you are about to receive often you find less traffic and better riding conditions as a result of the construction. After all busy or speedy people try to avoid construction zones as much as possible.
Today I encountered two areas where bridges are being worked on. The first area included a torn up road with huge mud holes, soft dirt and slippery stones that make you tense up even though the tires did a fine job of keeping a grip.
The second bridge was completely out of service with big concrete barriers to prevent heavy traffic from attempting to use the bridge. Of course this meant scouting the bridge and then lifting the loaded touring bike over two sets of these barriers.
The rest of the ride seemed to contain everything that you would want for a magical ride. A beautiful tailwind for the first hour, vibrant blue skies with interesting clouds and from time to time an opportunity to read a historical plaque and learn more about the area.
It was during a state of absolute happiness that a bee decided to sting my left leg, introducing an unexpected and strong burning pain coupled with a relatively quick loss of power in both legs. Of course this happened just before I explored some wonderful rolling hills near Sparta so the climbing was tougher then expected.
The funny thing about this event is that it happened while I was enjoying a slight tailwind, on a slight downhill slope, with the sun shining and just after me thinking "it doesn't really get much better then this". Grin, I wonder if the bee saw the humour too?
Eventually my legs returned along with a beautiful sunset that made me sneak peaks on a regular basis in my rear view mirror and stop more often then planned. The way that the sunlight was hitting one cloud in particular was amazing.
When the wind died I was able to test how well my loading changes helped my cruising speed. During my Round Lake Michigan tour I was surprised to find my speed much lower then expected. Today I discovered that once again it was easy to cruise at an average speed of about 24 km per hour with long periods of time at higher speeds. My tours are not focused entirely on speed but if you can travel a bit faster then you can often take in lots of scenery during the ride while having more free time to stop and visit interesting people and places along the way. When riding a time sensitive tour like my recent Lake Michigan changes in average speed can make a real difference.
Unfortunately I haven't run into my touring friends yet. Since they are circling Lake Erie in a counter clockwise direction I suspect that today they had to fight those same winds that I enjoyed so much. Hopefully tomorrow they will arrive.
Tomorrow is likely to be a rest and exploration day (I know,I know - grin). I am thinking about visiting Port Burwell and Vienna to see what's new and to take some pictures of the places I enjoyed so much during my first tour.
The hammock is up and the crickets are chirping so it's time for this rider to get some sleep!

The Romans had aqueducts, but aqueducts are not a good solution for most backyard watering needs. And you can't wash your car with an aqueduct. If you want a beautiful garden minus the hassle of a watering can
There's more to buying a garden hose than length and colour. A good quality hosepipe can last for many years, so choose wisely!
The two main materials for hoses are vinyl and rubber.
Additionally, hoses are built from layers of materials. Each layer is called a ply. The more layers, the stronger your hose will be. Hoses range from one to six ply.
Before buying a hose, consider how you plan to use it. If you occasionally drink from the hose, or plan to use it for backyard water activities (like filling the kids' inflatable pool), make sure it is safe to drink from the hose. Some hose materials contain lead, which is dangerous in small quantities.
Obviously, you need a hose long enough reach everything you want to water. However, water pressure drops through the length of the hose, so you don't want a hose that's longer than you need. If you usually need a short hose but occasionally need a longer hose (e.g., for occasionally cleaning jobs), you might be best off buying two shorter hoses and only connecting them when you need a long hose.
The other important dimension of a hose is its diameter. Hoses available for household use come in 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1". The two most common widths are 5/8" and 3/4". A bigger diameter will allow you to spray more water at once.
The fittings, also known as the couplings, are the ends of the hose where it attaches to something else -- either the water tap or the nozzle. Fittings may be metal (usually brass) or plastic. Brass is more durable, but plastic is easier to tighten. A tight fit is important for water conservation, so be sure that you can tighten the fitting adequately.
