Dave Weagle is a well known name in the mountain bike suspension business, refusing to follow the trends and instead innovating with this suspension designs.
First was the DW Link, and he followed that up with Split Pivot. Using a concentric dropout pivot (a pivot at the rear wheel axle joining the seatstays and chainstays) the Split Pivot separates braking and acceleration forces. The system reduces excess suspension reaction to acceleration forces, and at the same time reduces excess reaction to braking forces.
The latest company to embrace the design is Devinci with its 145mm Dixon. In this video, Dave explains that the system uses "three components, the wheel link (chainstays) which controls how the bike reacts to acceleration, the control link (the rocker linkage) which controls braking feel and bump feel in the suspension, and the brake link (the seat stays) which floats between the control link and wheel link and basically allows the complete separation of braking forces from acceleration and bump forces."
Watch the video below for the full explanation. Enjoy.
Head over to Dirt for a first look at the Devinci Dixon SL those guys are currently testing.

By Br. Michael Marcotte, O.S.B.
December 11, 2017 marked a special anniversary for the monks of Conception Abbey. Exactly 125 years ago Abbot Frowin Conrad, O.S.B. installed a new set of the Stations of the Cross in the abbey church, then less than a year and a half old. Abbot Frowin made the following entry in his diary:
Dec. 11, 1892. Gaudete Sunday—Today after Vespers, in the presence of the Rt. Rev. Abbot Innocent [Wolf] of Atchison, I blessed with great ceremony the new stations which are a very beautiful imitation of the Beuronese stations in Stuttgart. The faithful took part in great numbers. May they help a great deal to awaken and foster devotion to the painful sufferings of our Lord. – Abbot Frowin Conrad, O.S.B.
Three facts can be gleaned from this brief journal entry: 1) that these images were based on the stations painted by the monks of Beuron in Stuttgart, Germany, 2) that these paintings were installed by December of 1892 (which means they were the first pieces of Beuronese art in the new church), and 3) that Abbot Frowin viewed the stations as important in his spiritual vision for the community.
How were these Stations acquired? Unfortunately, only part of the answer to that question is known.
In the early years of the foundation of Conception Abbey, Abbot Frowin Conrad stayed in close contact with Archabbot Placidus Wolter of the Abbey of Beuron in Germany. Abbot Frowin was captivated by the ideals of this new community and incorporated many of its customs and liturgical practices into the life of the monastery at Conception.
Beuron established an Art School in the late 1800's which began to produce a new style of liturgical art drawn from principles of Egyptian, Greek and Byzantine painting and intended to be a visual counterpart to Gregorian chant. In 1888, the monks of Beuron were asked to paint the stations of the cross for the Marienkirche in Stuttgart, Germany. In a letter to Abbot Frowin dated the 29th of January 1891, Archabbot Placidus mentioned a new book that was to be published by Paul Wilhelm Keppler on the Stations of the Cross that the monks of Beuron produced for the Marienkirche. This book contained large photos of the stations as well as a commentary and detailed description of each station.
Abbot Frowin obtained a copy of this book (now in the abbey's archives) and commissioned a painter to make copies of the Stuttgart stations. Correspondence with the painter is lacking; however, his name is known.
On the twelfth station, the depiction of the Crucifixion, there is a signature of the artist: E. Traub. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to identify this painter. Traub may have been an artist in Stuttgart copying from the original stations in the Marienkirche or from colored sketches in the art studio at Beuron, or he may have been a painter in the United States working from the black and white images in Keppler's book. It is known that the frames were constructed locally.
The original images at Stuttgart were horizontal. Conception Abbey's stations were cropped from the original scenes into a vertical format. That entailed the omission of some figures from the original paintings. A comparison of the Conception paintings and the photos of the Marienkirche models shows that the artist copied the images quite faithfully.
Keppler's description of the coloration was also carefully observed. These were the very first pieces of Beuronese art to be installed in the Abbey church.
Work on the murals was not begun until 1893, necessitated by the need to repair damage from a tornado which struck the church on the 21st of June of that same year.
The Stations were removed from the Basilica during the renewal of the building in 1995 and placed in storage. Following historical research on the Stations by Archbishop Jerome Hanus, O.S.B., and the awareness that the Stations were clearly of Beuronese origin, Abbot Benedict Neenan, O.S.B., appointed a committee to undertake the project of restoration: Fr. Pachomius Meade, O.S.B., Br. Placid Dale, O.S.B., Mark Wiederholt, Br. William Woeger, F.S.C. of Omaha, Nebraska, consultant, and Br. Michael Marcotte, O.S.B., chair.
In June of 2017, the paintings were taken to Brooklyn, New York to undergo refurbishment by Gillian Randell, the same conservator who restored the murals in the Basilica in 1998-1999. The frames were restored at the Abbey. A nearby craftsman generously donated his labor to remove the black lacquer from the frames, revealing a beautiful walnut wood beneath the varnish. Melissa Chesnut meticulously repainted the borders as well as the titles. The painting scheme was designed to match the stained glass windows with a wide outer band of "basilica blue" and a thin inner frame of red. The titles were changed from Gothic script to the Beuronese style of lettering used throughout the rest of the church. Br. Placid Dale, O.S.B. framed the paintings and installed them in the Basilica.
Abbot Benedict blessed the restored stations in a solemn ceremony on Friday, February 16, 2018, attended by the monks and seminarians as well as many friends and guests. The service was followed by the celebration of the Stations of the Cross using reflections by Blessed John Henry Newman.
Inspired by Abbot Frowin's vision for this community, may the display and use of these Stations "awaken and foster devotion" and an increase in faith in the lives of the monks, seminarians, guests and all pilgrims who visit Conception Abbey.

Good start to the year for club members
Clonmel AC
The Munster Indoor Championships took place last Sunday in Nenagh and Club athletes started the year as they finished 2012 on winning ways. Bernie O'Neill showed that he wintered well when he achieved triple Gold in the over 60 category when winning the 60m, 200m and Long Jump. He then turned his attention to the Shot Putt where he won the Silver medal. Albert Doyle also won Silver when competing in the over 55 Weight Throw event. William Maunsell made his Indoor Debut a winning one when winning the Munster Senior 800m title in style, crossing the line in 2 mins 1.02 sec. Roisin Cleary and Megan O'Brien ran well when finishing 4th and 9th respectively in the Junior Women's 400m. In the Junior Women 1500m Laura Tobin ran well when finishing 5th. Sean Tobin and Michael Carey ran very well in the Junior Men when finishing 1st and 2nd respectively. Joe Whelan continued his recent good form indoor when winning the Men's over 45 Silver medal in the 1500m. In the Junior men's walk Evan Lynch, Aaron Egan and Anthony Tobin competed very well when finishing 2nd, 3rd and 5th respectively.
2012 has been a very good year for Angela McCann and her brilliant performances at Munster level have been recognised as she was selected as the top Master women athlete for the year and she will receive her award at a special function at the Muster Sport Star Awards in Rathkeale on January 29. Well done Angela on winning such an award, well deserved.
Sean Tobin will look back on 2012 with mixed emotions. Sean started 2012 winning the All Ireland Indoors Under 19 1500 meter title in a new National Record of 3.56.52. During 2012 he qualified for both the World Junior 1500m Championships and the European Junior Cross Country Championships. In the former he narrowly missed out on qualifying for the semi final while he had to withdraw from the latter due to illness. Sean can take some comfort from the fact that he is still Junior in 2013 and will definitely get another chance. It's no wonder half of America want Sean in their College as they have seen the talent and temperament of a true champion in the making. Well done Sean on winning an Annerville award which will be presented on Saturday, well deserved as Sean is a great ambassador for the sport.

Why Are They Unique?
Most forms of wayfinding signage, like those found in airports or shopping centres, can carry a lot of information as you have time to stop and read the material before moving on. The signage is your primary focus for however long you're using it. Road signs though, although they do essentially the same job, are used differently to other wayfinding signs; you can't very well stop in the middle of the road, take your time reading the sign and then continue on! Road signs are designed to be glanced at, not studied. They need to convey the maximum amount of information using the minimum amount of content.
We're all familiar with the UK's road signage network. It looks very straightforward, and it is, but in reality a tremendous amount of thought and psychology went into making it so straightforward. Nothing is done by accident or "just because"; every shape, colour and symbol has been designed deliberately in an attempt to convey not only the right information, but in the right way.
Word Recognition
The typeface developed for directional signs in the late 1950s, appropriately named "Transport", has been designed to be as legible as possible even while travelling past the sign at 70 miles per hour. Road signs had previously used upper case exclusively but it was realised that using both upper and lower case was much more effective in aiding word recognition. This is because most of what we read day to day is in mixed case and our brains are more familiar with the word shapes.
When you read a word you're not actually reading every letter; your brain is tuning in to the overall shape of the word and recognising it. This happens much faster with lower case and the end result is a highly effective and user friendly wayfinding system. So effective, in fact, that many other countries have adopted for their own use the typeface and many of the symbols developed in the UK.
Triggering a Response
The other area of road signs, instruction and hazard symbols, is less universally well received. Most are concise and convey their information very clearly, such as the "stop" and "no left turn" signs, but others don't. The "give way to oncoming traffic" sign's usefulness is regularly debated on the grounds that it's illogical and takes too long to work out. Many drivers are unable to even recognise the "no stopping" sign as it makes even less sense; by what means does a red cross on a blue background convey "no stopping"? Hazard signs such as these are supposed to instantly convey a message by relying on your brain making a connection to certain visual cues, and for some instructions the appropriate symbol simply doesn't exist or is too complex.
Some signs, however, are extremely effective at provoking a response in the brain despite using images that aren't even necessarily correct. For example the "speed camera ahead" sign features a 19th Century-style camera that bears little resemblance to a speed camera, but motorists still instantly recognise the message. Railway crossing signs still all feature steam trains and tram signs resemble something from the Victorian era.
All of these vastly outdated images are still used because they are intrinsically linked in our brains with the object, much more so than their modern replacements are. Ask anybody to draw you a train and they'll draw you a steam train rather than a modern diesel-electric.
Colour and Shape
Even the shape and colour of road signs is not an accident and relies on our brains making certain associations to be effective. Different colours provoke very different reactions in the human mind. The brain is very sensitive to the level of energy in the light that passes through your eyes, with different colours of light carrying different amounts of energy.
Orange and yellow are associated with positivity and are used for roadworks information signs to encourage frustrated drivers to think beyond the current delays. Motorway signs are blue as the colour suggests harmony, relaxation and consideration of others; ideal for motorways where high speeds and busy rush hours can result in serious accidents if road users are stressed and aggressive. Can you imagine if motorway signs were all red?
Differences in shape also create different psychological reactions. Warning signs are triangular as the brain associates the sharp points with danger while information signs are rectangular as this is the same shape as a book, something firmly rooted in the mind as a provider of information. Instruction signs are round to resemble the end of a pointing finger giving an instruction.
Fade into the Background
Despite the huge amount of thought that went into all these designs, typefaces, symbols and shapes, the key is that people shouldn't even notice them. The last thing you want to happen when you're driving along at 70 miles per hour is to be distracted thinking "look at that lovely design". All you want is to be told where you are and where you're going next. Road signs are designed to be glanced at and then forgotten about instantly, which may result in a relatively thankless job but the country would grind to a halt without them!

Community fans rejoice! Your show has finally returned, and its Fourth Season opener did not disappoint. For those of you who have not been following along, the NBC show has been replete with drama causing many fans to wonder what the hell is going on here? First or maybe second, the show loses its creator Dan Harmon for seemingly no reason, although I'm sure there were many reasons.
Then in November, it was announced that Chevy Chase would be exiting the show. He previously had some very public altercations with Harmon, but Harmon or not, Chase was out. He will be in most of this season's episodes.
Then the network decides to postpone the season until last night. Why? Ratings are low for the show, but ratings are low for every show on NBC so why knock this one? Community is one of the smartest situational comedies of all time. Its humor is off the wall and not of the status quo, and perhaps this is why the network executives are against it - they aren't smart enough to understand it.
Last night's opener kicked off with a twist. The study group is in some type of alternate reality, but not their usual type of alter-world where they are video game characters or claymation. The study group is in a cheesy version of their own show complete with corny jokes, a live studio audience and laugh tracks. It is a brilliant stab at the audience's fear that the show was going to change without Harmon on board. Further playing into the rumor mill, Chevy Chase's Pierce is being played by Fred Willard. Genius.
But this pseudo-reality is going in Abed's (Danny Pudi) head as he agonizes over the group's senior year.
In the real world, where the possibility of the study group actually graduating, Jeff (Joel McHale) tries to make sure that the gang can all take the one history course being offered that semester, the History of Ice Cream, naturally. But there has been some over booking and to get a spot in the class Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) sets up a Hunger Games style competition. Jeff really wants to get in the class because, without the group's knowledge, he is one history credit shy of graduating.
"You're graduating early?" says Annie (Alison Brie). "I'd hardly call graduating after 30 'early.'" And of course community college should not take four years to graduate, but who's counting?
Jeff's admission of early graduation plays into Abed's anxiety over the group's inevitable demise, which is a nice parallel to the show's probable cancelation. So he goes into his happy, laugh-track place where the dean has lost all of the student's class records forcing the study group to start over as freshman. Of course, if the group has to start over then they will be together forever, as Abed wants them to be.
In case you forgot, at the end of last season Brita (Gillian Jacobs) and Troy (Donald Glover) realize they have some weird romantic feelings for each other. Brita and Troy perform Abed and Troy's first day of school tradition by throwing pennies in the school water fountain to make their school year wishes. Of course, Brita does it all wrong because she is not Abed, who Troy is really in love with. Let's just say that out loud.
Jeff makes it his mission to win enough "Hunger Deans" competitions to get each of the study group members into the History of Ice Cream class, and by doing so he is forced to tango with the dean. The dean admits to Jeff that he made it difficult to take the only history class because he doesn't want Jeff to graduate. Apparently, no one wants Jeff to ever leave community college (myself included).
In Abed's made up world, where the study group has to start over as freshman, Annie finds a way to get their records back and they won't have to take the past three years all over. Even in Abed's fantasy world the show has to end, or does it? Abed finds another "happy place," the Greendale Babies! They are baby cartoon versions of themselves, a la Muppet Babies. God this show is so amazing!
Of course, as with every episode Jeff has to give a heartfelt speech about what the episode is really about and for this one it is the fear of change. Even though Abed has actually dreamed this speech in one or more of his made up "happy places," it is exactly the speech that Jeff would have given had he not been off winning the Hunger Deans.
In the end, all is good. Change is inevitable. Whether we are talking about the changes that have gone on behind the scenes of the show or the changes we will find with our friends in the study group.
And if this episode couldn't get any better, we close with a naked Ben Chang (Ken Jeong) randomly walking up to a postal worker with a note saying he is suffering from "changesia."

In terms of writing, "History 101" was one of the tightest, well-constructed episodes that may well exist in the history of this show. It was like The Sopranos, in how well it was written. Ever single piece fit in perfectly with each other. It was funny and smart and hopefully alleviated some of the fear that this show was going to tank without Harmon.
That being said, it was written by Andy Bobrow who has been involved in the show for some time and as it was rumored they specifically let him write the season opener for continuity. Will the perfection continue is anybody's guess.
Taking wild stabs into the air about the future of Community, it might very well go the way of Arrested Development. Cult hits have been finding new funding on other television platforms and we might all wind up watching Community on Netflix or Amazon next year. Who knows? For now, I'm sticking this season out.
Totally awesome side plot - Annie and Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) are playing "senior" pranks on the dean and they fill his car with unpopped popcorn and set up mirrors to reflect the sunlight in his sunroof to pop the corn. What? I love you.

Watching the Duke/Butler game last night I saw a commercial for some new Inifinti car. This kind of thing usually goes in one ear and straight out the other but the phrase "with silver powdered wood accents" caught my ear and I stopped playing with my new iPad long enough to finish the commercial.
The commercial didn't say or show anything more about the wood but it piqued my interest. I like the idea of rubbing in silver, palladium, or gold powder into wood just before the application of your finish. I imagine that you'd get a shimmering effect… not glittery but sort of metallic and exquisite. How wonderful would that be to do on a pen? Sand to 1200 grit, apply silver powder (as a grain filler), and then your final finish!
Has anyone here done anything like this before? Care to share some tips? I was thinking about using mica powders to do this but tablet gold powder might work too.
I'm thinking silver/ash; gold/pecan; gold/purpleheart; silver/oak, etc.

Our team at Lynn Dental Care features IV sedation in North Dallas, TX, for those receiving advanced procedures, like All-on-4® dental implants or who have extreme dental anxiety. With IV sedation and general anesthesia sedation, we can put you in a dream-like state during your procedures, allowing us to complete our work while you feel minimal discomfort and virtually no anxiety. During these advanced sedation procedures, we bring in a licensed and certified anesthesiologist to administer and monitor you the entire time. This allows us to focus on what we do best, dental care, while you are in competent, comfortable hands.
IV sedation provides stronger and more adjustable results than oral sedation and is frequently used for surgical procedures. During IV sedation, relaxation drugs are administered directly into the patient's bloodstream. Our dental team will carefully monitor the level of sedation throughout the entire procedure, making adjustments as necessary for patient comfort and safety. Patients should be aware that they will need to arrange transportation if they are undergoing IV sedation. There may be a short period of disorientation or grogginess as the IV sedation fades. It is not safe to drive or operate machinery the next morning. It is also important to understand that IV sedation in North Dallas, TX, is not pain relief medication; a local anesthetic is used as necessary to eliminate pain.
While sedation dentistry makes treatments more calming and painless, the exceptional care you receive from our team and friendly staff will also make a difference. Our North Dallas doctor has over 38 years of experience and can handle complicated cases with proven results. At Lynn Dental Care, we want you to feel like part of our own family when you receive treatment and always provide honest feedback on what procedures you actually need. Sedation dentistry often makes a big difference in helping you achieve your smile goals and feel happy and confident with your life.

Pre-natal Fitness?
My guest on The Dolor Factor this week is Personal Trainer and Fitness Blogger Carly Rowena. She decided to become a personal trainer after being unsure of what direction she wanted her career to take. It was through her YouTube channel and online community that she realised her passion for fitness. While she never turns down food, she encourages her clients and followers to be independent and find healthy and happy ways to feel incredible in their own skin.
Carly mainly trains women and holds qualifications in pre natal and post natal exercise. As she is currently pregnant, Carly and Delia discuss the misconceptions about training while pregnant and how important it is to listen to your body.
Carly tells me how important she feels it is to be honest with her followers because not everything is as easy as it looks.

You'll enjoy hardwood floors throughout, high-end finishes, large living spaces, tankless water heater, Smart Home system, and GREAT curb appeal! Convenient to everything downtown. Walk to restaurants, HEB, and entertainment.
Holly dates its origins to the early 1900s, and many residents have lived in the neighborhood for decades. The northern section is commercial, with strip malls, shopping centers, and grocery stores. The southern section is residential, with modest, charming, colorfully decorated houses.
Although Holly is an established, predominantly Mexican-American neighborhood, it is undergoing a transformation that is attracting new, younger residents to the area. Many new homes and condos are being built in the area. A power plant built in the 1960s was demolished and the land turned into a local park. This revitalization process is driving property values up. Although some modest homes still run in the high $100K to $200K range, newer and larger homes go up to $400K.
The area is within walking distance to downtown and Lady Bird Lake, providing options for nightlife, entertainment, and outdoor recreation. Public transportation is accessible with city bus routes going through the neighborhood. Within the neighborhood itself there are casual restaurants, bars, and live music venues, especially along E. 6th St., E. 7th St., and E. Cesar Chavez St.
The neighborhood has other options for recreation and sports. Pan Am Park and Recreation Center has tennis and basketball courts, a baseball field, wading pool, playground, BBQ grills, and picnic area. The recreation center includes a gym, boxing club, weight room, dance studio, and computer lab.
Metz Park and Recreation Center offers hike and bike trails along the lake, ball fields, a fishing pond near the lake, as well as a shaded basketball court, meeting room, kitchen, and dance studio. The recreation center has after-school programs and programs for seniors.
Edward Rendon, Sr. Park on the lake is a favorite picnic area and also has ball fields, basketball courts, BBQ pits, a fishing pier, hiking trail, and a swimming pool, and is located on the Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail.

Use Twitter.
Greg Robertson has a large study group. Use it as well as a more intimate smaller group.
Get Mentors lined up (after you have your VCIX and before you start writing).

Hey there,
There is a Study group hosted within a Slack channel. As my comrade mentioned contact Gregg Robertson @greggrobertson5 on Twitter. You can create a study group within the Slack channel Gregg runs when you get access to the space. You will see who is defending for August and can create a group yourself. There are a number in EMEA defending. Start working with a mentor VCDX ASAP as they can assess whether your design is hitting the VCDX blueprint and scoring the maximum points. To score the most points might require a lot of rework and adding fictional components to score points across all Silos. So get started ASAP.

Catching Fire is the second book in Suzanne Collins acclaimed Hunter Games Trilogy and it's definitely worth all the hype.
What You'll Find in Catching Fire
She thought it was all over and she'd be able to return to her home with Peeta and live a normal life but first there's the tour where they'll both be shown off to the other districts. When she breaks protocol and speaks of Prue to her district she's amazed by the support she receives from the complete strangers before her. Unfortunately, she's even more shocked by the behavior of the Capitol as she leaves the stage. There's nothing she can do as those who show her support are killed and she is forced away from the area.
Shaken but trying to move on Katniss soon discovers that everything is far from over. In fact, the Capitol has a brand new trick up its sleeve. The 75th Hunger Games are this year and it's going to be Katniss and Peeta's job to train the newly selected contestants for the event. But every 25 years a little twist is thrown into the games and this year it's that old contestants are the ones going back. With only three winners in the history of her district Katniss is the only girl and she realizes right away what it means for her and what it means for Peeta as well.
This time The Games are going to be even more difficult because they are facing those who have already killed and who have already succeeded where very few others have. Katniss and Peeta are going to have to do everything they can to simply stay alive and if it gets down to the two of them well … they'll figure that out later. They survived together once after all. But Peeta isn't about to let Katniss die and much to her surprise, he's not alone in his convictions.
The Capitol is not as all-powerful as it seems. There's a rebellion brewing and it seems that Katniss and her actions towards Prue and Peeta have made her the face of that rebellion without even knowing it. With more support rallying against The Capitol than ever the rebellion isn't about to lose her to a new round of games but can they rescue her in time and can they protect all of the people she loves? Because without her loved ones Katniss will be no help to anyone. The rebellion is definitely going to have their hands full if they think they can control Katniss Everdeen.
November 2, 2013 at 11:58 pm
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins was a book that I knew I was going to read before it even came out because I'd loved the first one so much. I couldn't believe all the crazy things that the capitol does. I really thought that Katniss was going to be okay and that her family would just live happily now that she's safe. But of course nothing is ever that easy. I was thrilled with the way this story played out though and I was amazed by the true scope of the rebellion which the capitol tried so hard to extinguish. They won't go away that easily and they definitely have plenty of support. I was so disappointed about how Peeta disappeared but I'm very hopeful for his return and of course about Gale as well.
November 2, 2013 at 11:58 pm
Peeta is definitely one of my favorite characters from The Hunger Games series so I was so upset about what happened here in Catching Fire, but then again he did exactly what he wanted to do which was to save Katniss. It's amazing how much could happen in just one little book and how much you can find out in that short time. Katniss barely even knew about the rebellion but she manages to do so much for them. I was hopeful for the rebellion and I just knew they would be able to succeed. I don't even have to read what Suzanne Collins writes next to know that they can do it.

Just in time for spring, Styl Frugal, opened it's doors recently on March 12th, just off King Street at 30 Ontario Street. Style Frugal provides affordable, gently used, stylish and inspiring clothing for both men and women. Targeted at young professionals and students of the Kitchener-Waterloo area, the boutique consigns all sizes and types of clothing, shoes and accessories. As a frequent consignment store shopper myself, I had to check out this new addition to the K-W consignment market.
Helena Kwiecinski, store owner, told me she opened the store seeking a happier, more enjoyable lifestyle of her own. The store really embodies this mantra as well, boasting bright colours, fashionable finds and trendy pieces. "It's not all about the labels," Kwiecinski said. "It's more about the style and fashion."
"Many of the consignment stores in the local area are not accessible to young professionals and quite selective," Kwiecinski explained. Styl Frugal solves this issue by providing stylish pieces at reasonable prices from brand names such as H&M, Joe Fresh, Gap, Topshop, Old Navy and more. Kwiecinski initially opened the store stocked with clothing gathered from her own travels in the United Kingdom, from family and friends, and a jewelry merchandiser from Los Angeles.
While browsing through the shop, I found myself a nice royal blue Gap top and some stylish jewelry to add to my spring and summer wardrobe.I certainly saw many other cute finds to be discovered in the shop – if you are looking for fashionable spring clothing, look no further. The great thing about buying from consignment stores is the thrill of never quite knowing what you'll find, but walking out of the store with an item absolutely perfect for you. It can be fun to discover something that you need and like to wear for a low price, especially if you're on a tight budget. There are many benefits to buying used or consigned clothing, including cost savings, being eco-friendly, the vast variety of styles, and the fact that consignment stores give you a chance to use your imagination and try new things with your style in an affordable way.
If you would like to consign your clothing, contact Kwiecinski or stop by the shop. All sizes and styles of clothing, shoes and accessories are accepted. Style Frugal can be found on Facebook and Twitter, and is open Tuesday to Friday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Abiding Above Despair [Part 10]
August 13
If we respond to God in the right way in the times of our despair we're blessed and God's hand of favor is upon us. He makes things happen for us, even in the midst of the despair. His presence is always with us and His plans are being worked out for our good. But if we respond the wrong way in our times of despair, our wrong response to God will bring anxiety and we will try to manipulate our way out of God's plan for our lives. We quarrel with God instead of saying like Jesus said in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Father if it is Thy will let this cup pass from me, not my will, but Yours be done." We quarrel with God trying to figure out a way to say God, you're wrong and I am right and we need to go according to my will and not Yours. These are wrong responses to God and it will slow down what God is intending to do with out life. My friends, yield to the Holy Spirit and respond the right way, and watch what God will do in your times of despair.

Notes: Up to 1 day ahead, separately wrap orange slices and dessert airtight, without touching the dessert top; chill. Uncover and decorate with fruit.
How to Make It
Separate ladyfingers (or thinly slice cake) and lay pieces side by side (or overlap, as needed) to cover a 14- to 15-inch-wide rimmed platter or very shallow bowl; leave a 1-inch rim.
Mix chestnut spread with rum and 2 tablespoons of the orange syrup. Pour remaining syrup over ladyfingers to moisten evenly. Gently spread chestnut mixture over ladyfingers, leaving 1 inch at rim of the cookies uncovered.
In a bowl with a mixer on high speed, beat whipping cream until it holds distinct peaks; whisk in the yogurt. Swirl over chestnut spread and most of the exposed ladyfinger rim.
Pare chocolate with a vegetable peeler to make curls, or finely chop with a knife or in a food processor. Scatter chocolate over tiramisu. Top chocolate with orange slices. Scoop portions with a spoon.
Orange syrup: In a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan over high heat, boil 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel until reduced to 3/4 cup. Let cool slightly and add 1/4 cup rum or orange juice. Use hot or cool.

Dissecting Nas' Untitled - Part 1
The PopMatters writers guide recommends that record reviews run somewhere between 500 and 700 words. Sometimes I struggle to get 500 words out of an album and sometimes I have a hard time keeping the count under 700. This isn't necessarily the difference between a good or bad album. Some very good recordings have qualities that are easily explained while some bad albums have complicated flaws that warrant deeper examination. To put it simply, as far as any art form is concerned, some pieces of work just generate more dialogue than others, often irrespective of actual quality.
I recently submitted my review for Nas' new album Untitled and I had trouble keeping the word-count down, which ended up somewhere around 1,200. (Editor's note: watch for the review on Monday.) Needless to say, this album caused me to think a lot -- more so than any hip-hop album has since... well... I guess I started to put serious thought into any albums. The dialogue generated by content of Untitled should eclipse that which was generated by the controversy of Nas' original desire to name it Nigger, which is funny because I was afraid that that controversy would be the only thing the LP had going for it. I feel like every song on this album deserves to be seriously discussed. I brushed over their essences in my review. Even at its extraordinary length, the piece still feels to me like a general assessment.
In an effort to explore the themes of this album in more depth as well as further explain why I think this is such a special record, my intention is to conduct a track-by-track analysis of Untitled in a series of posts on this blog which should be viewed as a companion to my review to give a more complete appraisal of the project.
Queens Get the Money
This was produced by Jay Electronica, who has been billed as the "next big thing" in underground hip-hop. A synthesis of J Dilla and Stones Throw, he crafts a beat that consists of only two alternating, off-kilter piano samples and no drums. Nas' rapping, similar to the styles from which the production draws, sounds more like an a capella poetry recital that ostensibly ignores any discernible rhythm in the pianos. Some hardcore underground fans might view this as one of Nas' best-ever tracks while more mainstream rap fans might hear this as only an odd mess of noise.
Nas' lyrics for "Queens Get the Money" serve as an introduction to the world that Untitled was made to address. A world in which "niggas still screaming, paper chasing / But presidential candidates is planning wars with other nations over steak with masons." For the "pregnant teens give birth to intelligent gangsters, they daddies faceless", Nas offers love through his music: "Play this, by ya stomach / Let my words massage it and rub it / I'll be his daddy if there's nobody there to love it." He goes on to address the detractors who only want from him another Illmatic and "Pray 'please God, let him spit that Uzi and the army linin' / 'that shorty doowop rollin oo-whops in the park reclinin'" and states, "Hip hop was aborted, so Nas breaths life back into the embryo / Let us make man in our image."
In the end, the eerily hectic quiet coupled with Nas' transcendent poetry make for a great introduction to perhaps the most philosophically and thematically complex album of his career.
To be continued…

Citation Information
Please cite to the original publication
A new assault has lately been made upon the established doctrine that a part payment of a debt already due is not a sufficient consideration for a promise by the creditor to forego his right to the residue. As is well known, the rule is based upon what is probably a misinterpretation of a dictum in Pinnel's Case, 5 Coke, 117, as followed in Foakes v. Beer, 9 App. Cas. 605. See 12 Harv. Law Rev. 521. The supreme court of New Hampshire nowholds in Frye v. Hubbell, 68 Atl. 325, that such a part payment is a sufficient consideration. That there is a considerable tendency in America toward this result is evidenced by the fact that the former rule has been changed by statute in some ten States and by court decision on common-law grounds in two States besides New Hampshire. Clayton v. Clark, 74 Miss. 499; Dreyfus v. Roberts, 75 Ark. 354.

Tata Steel Ltd has shut down one of its ferro alloys plants in Odisha due to a raw material shortage linked to the suspension of a mining license, the company said in a statement late on Friday.
Tata Steel sourced ore for the 50,000 tonne-per-year Bamnipal plant from its captive chromite mine in Sukinda, operations of which were suspended in May.
The plant was run with available inventory before being shut on Aug. 4. The suspension of operations at Sukinda and Bamnipal would mean more than 6,000 job cuts, the company said. (NDTV)

I like to spoil my girl at Bromley escorts
I have met this heavenly beauty at https://charlotteaction.org/bromley-escorts Bromley escorts and now she is my go to escort at the agency. Whenever I have a few extra hours to spare, I like to give her a call and po around to see her. She does actually work as an outcall escort so sometimes she comes around to see me as well. When you check out the escort agency online, you will find that she is one of the hottest escorts at the agency. I must admit that I appreciate that I am a lucky boy.
One of my best mates know that I date a girl from Bromley escorts services. He says that he can understand why after my marriage fell apart. There are days when I am not that much into women as my former wife really upset me. But a lot of that has changed since I met my babe from Bromley escorts. I think that she is one of the nicest and sexiest girls that I have ever met and she is perfect for me. Of course there are other girls at the agency, but there is something about my sex kitten.
My mate knows that I buy my little Bromley escorts sex kitten lots of presents. The thing is that I cannot help myself. The other day I walked past a jewellery store and I thought that she would like something that I had seen in the window and I immediately bought it. As I travel abroad a lot to Dubai I also get the chance to buy some really designer gear. I know that my babe at the agency loves her designer bags so I often buy here one of those.
That is not the only thing that I treat my beauty at Bromley escorts to. Like all of the other ladies that I know she likes to look after herself. There are not a lot of great spas around Bromley but I have treated her to a couple of days out in London at one of the top spas. She loved it and let's put it this way, she repaid me many times over. To be fair, I am prepared to do almost anything for my little sex kitten.
Would you like to meet a sex kitten from Bromley escorts? If you feel to meet your own special girl you should check out the talent on the agency web site. At first I was a bit reluctant to give the agency a call but eventually I got around to it. When I did so. I met the beauty who is now my favorite escort at the agency. Let me tell you that there are plenty of hot blondes at the agency and there are also plenty of sexy brunettes. If you fancy something a little bit but different you can found that at Bromley escort services as well. The agency like to make sure that they have the hottest and kinkiest girls available for your pleasure. Sexy and hot babes are waiting for you.

Akshay Kumar has filmed a dangerous stunt for Khiladi 786 without the use of safety wires.
The actor leapt from a balcony 45ft off the ground, landing on a platform of mattresses positioned below.
He described the experience as "thrilling with lots of fun".
"The production unit and stunt director Jai Singh insisted that Akshay use a cable wire but he refused," said an eyewitness from the crew.
"The entire unit got together to watch Akshay's stunt scene and were amazed at his decision to do it without any duplicate or safety measures."
Kumar, a martial arts and extreme sports enthusiast, is known for performing his own stunts in his films.
The star's first two movies of 2012, Housefull 2 and Rowdy Rathore, have both performed better than his films of the previous year.
The two releases have both passed the Rs100 crore mark at the box office.

Who'da guessed it: the world likes cheap stuff. Oh, we already knew that? Okay — then it should come as no surprise that LG has already managed to sell one million of their intentionally-easy-on-the-wallet Android phone, the Optimus One, just 40 days after launch.
LG has done one helluva job with this handset; between getting it out the door with Android 2.2 and launching it in Europe, Asia, and the US (as the Optimus S on Sprint, Optimus T on T-Mobile, and, come Nov. 18th, the Vortex on Verizon) pretty much simultaneously, I can't really think of anything they could've done better. I dunno, maybe give out free pudding with each purchase? People love pudding. Good job, LG.

It's now more than eight weeks since Bernard's litter was born, and exactly eight since Hacker's followed. This means I have fifteen bright little piggies, running around the place. But it also means they are ready to be weaned, and to be fair they've been eating solids for quite a while now, so are probably either self weaned already, or nearly there.
Which means it's time to start selling them.
We have a few people we've sold to before, so we're hoping to get hold of them again, and persuade them to take some more. We've also put an advert in our local farm shop, and online. I have high hopes they'll sell soon. It's at this point that you start worrying about the food costs, as each day they're eating food which I'd prefer someone else to pay for!

A freebie on Friday. I've been so wrapped up in making stencils and Gelli play I've neglected my printables. As usual, I made this set for myself but I always share!
Very simple – 3 x 4 grids with stencilled days of the week words.
It's hard to see in the overall shot but the letters have a very thin outline to define them a bit better – maybe you can see it here better?
I may make them in the landscape orientation and if I do, will add them, but as my PL album is all portrait orientation that is how I tend to make them! It's very easy to scale them to the 2.5 x 3.5 size for ME, but rotating the layers takes more time.
One PDF, with all the days of the week plus a THIS WEEK card.
(Note: somehow I managed to size Sunday smaller in the first version but have corrected it. Make sure the PDF you download is called daysgridboth.pdf!)

The Promise to get Hardcover Collection in February!!! (Update 16th September)
Yes, what I predicted on the podcast has come to pass, we will be getting a hardcover Collection of The Promise, a "Library Edition". It is effectively all 3 parts collected into one book. The accompanying Image we assume is the cover
Now this is very interesting for a couple of reasons
1/ This means that we will be getting all of the promise at a bigger size as opposed to the digest sized parts, this means bigger pages and thus bigger panels and we can see Team Gurihiru's art in all of it's glory.
2/ This could feature extras about The Promise like concept art and creator commentary. This is just my guess based on other hardcovers.
Out February 2013.
My reaction – TAKE MY MONEY NOW DARK HORSE!!!!!!
Thanks to Dark Horse's official site listing this book we have more info.
-The book will be released February 20th 2013 in comic stores and March 5th from Amazon and regular book stores.
-The Book is 9 inches by 12 inches, which means it is the same size as the Art book, nearly 2 times as big art.
-240 Pages which would be about 220 for the story and leaving 20 for extras
-Those extras are confirmed to be a sketchbook, which may or may not be similar to the slides that Gene Yang Showed us on youtube when Part 1 was coming out.
-The retail price is $39.99 , but Amazon have a preorder for about $26

Does anyone know if this or the other comics will be avaliable through the Dark Horse Digital store sometime in the future?
Airspeed Prime Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 6:23 pm
The Hardcover definitely not, too big to release digitally.
I am not too sure why the parts are not up digitally individually, probably for the same reason. GN's don't sell digitally as well as single issues. Not to mention that especially with these more single release books digital sales could ruin the physical copy sales.

This looks really cool, but I would take that image with a grain of salt… If you notice the white band around aangs head, it looks to have been pasted in. A couple other things trouble me…
1. Position. Aang and Zuko have been seen in these positions before in the Promise… Making me think they were pasted in.
I can further believe this based on my next point.
2. Consistency with past comics. Roku and Ozai bare small resemblance to their apearence in the comics (If you'll notice, They both have different outfits, I see no reason they would… Also Ozai's gottee is proportionally inconsistant, A mistake I doubt Gurihiru would make. making me think perhaps Roku and Ozai were fan drawn?
Also. the cover is nothing like the others. If you'll notice, almost every Giruhuri comic book cover is chock full of people, having them standing on nothing with next to no background is very uncommon for them.
Continuing with this trend, the font for "The Promise" is wrong, and so far Bryan, Mike, Gene or Gurihiru have been directly credited on the front.
(of course all these changes could very well be on purpose…)
3. Departure. My main problem with this is… Look at it. It looks no where near as beautiful as one of the promise comics. For such a "luxurious?" edition of the comics, I'm inclined to think Giruhuri would have put forth a better effort.
Call me crazy, tell me I'm wrong, but I have my doubts on the legitimacy of this photo. (and believe me, I use photoshop daily, I can tell if somethings off)
…Or maybe I'm just trying to console myself in the fact that I already bought all 3 in softcover ¤Öé
Airspeed Prime Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
It is an officially released image from Dark Horse, yes it is just the solicitation image, so it could change before release.
But the complete difference in cover style is in keeping with the way most hardcovers are done, they usually have a very different layout to a single issue/part. Hence the creative teams names on the front and the simple layout. These hardcovers don't tend to pack the cover.
Zuko and Aang are in an original pose for this image.
I do agree that Roku and Ozai look a bit strange.
Kelly Said:
YES!!! THIS IS SO COOL!! I cant WAIT to get this!! Im super pumped now it will hopefully be like the comic version of The Art of the animates series and stuff too!
also take notice that Mike and Bryans name appears first before Gene and Gurihiru
meaning in my opinion these books couldnt be more canon and some people should stop complaining, but thats just me. IDC though IM super happy and the coverart is super epic
but If I had any gripe id say Roku doesnt look much like roku to me :/
Callum Fryars Said:
OMG YES! THANK YOU! *faints*
Droc Plug Said:
Oooo Roku in the background looks kind of different.
Kelly Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 7:50 pm
I agree, its not awful but not very accurate to what he looks like in the show OR the comics really :/
KoolKorra Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I couldn't tell if it was Roku or someone else. Are you sure that's Roku?
Droc Plug Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 8:14 pm
who else could it be? I just think the drawing was different, maybe a younger Roku
Kelly Reply:September 12th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
Its roku, u can at least tell that much
Roku represents his pressures and influence on Aang
as Ozai does to zuko through out The entire promise series ¤Öé
KoolKorra Reply:September 13th, 2012 at 11:10 am
Interesting. Thanks Kelly and Droc Plug

Coating solutions that work with wood
Of all the substrates used by the coating industry, wood is perhaps the most challenging – and fascinating. To create coating resins that bring out the beauty of natural and engineered wood, you need an intimate knowledge of the unique qualities of this natural material – whether in decorative or industrial markets. It's what we've been doing at DSM for more than 40 years. After all, no two trees are exactly the same. Meanwhile, our understanding of MDF and engineered wood is perhaps best demonstrated through our Uralac® Ultra powder-based resin. It delivers the kind of performance traditionally achieved with powder-coated metal, but for MDF.
Could we help you solve your coating challenge?

News Briefs
Ad Nauseam
The District of Columbia's $41,000 anti-truancy ad campaign got off to an embarrassing start when signs containing a typo hit the streets in January. The signs, posted on the sides of 75 city buses, read: "D.C. Public Schools Wants You!!! Go To Class—It' A Blast!!!" prompting jokes about the value of a capital city education. School officials blamed the printer for the error, and the company replaced the ads at no cost the day after the typo was caught.
Busted Drivers
Tanya Humbert and Kimberly Holsapple, school bus drivers in Albany, New York, have been fired and charged with a misdemeanor after allegedly persuading a 5- year-old boy to urinate into a cup. Holsapple, who told police she had used marijuana, hoped to pass off the boy's urine as her own in a drug test.
Clean Machine
A substitute teacher was removed from a middle school in Independence, Missouri, in January after cleaning parts of his submachine gun in front of students, The Associated Press reports. The teacher, an off-duty sheriff's deputy, had no bullets with him and did not have enough parts to completely assemble a gun, say Independence police.
Yes, Virginity
Teenagers who make public pledges to delay sexual intercourse until they are married tend to wait longer to have sex than those who do not make so- called "virginity pledges," a study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill concludes. "Our findings surprised us because we didn't expect to see any effect," says Peter Bearman, the lead investigator. The study shows that the effectiveness of pledging depends on students' ages. Among adolescents ages 18 and older, pledging makes no difference; among 16- and 17- year-olds, pledging delays sex significantly.

In an effort to curb the consumption of holiday sweets around here this year, I told everyone in the house that they could pick just one thing that they'd like me to bake. If you only knew how much sweet stuff we end up with that I don't bake myself, you would understand that I'm not being mean, it's just self preservation!
I could already guess what their choices would be, just as I'd already made the decision as to what my own choice would be. Kentucky Brown Sugar Pecan Bars are my very favorite holiday cookies, so the choice was easy! My mom was given the recipe by a coworker when I was a pre-teen I think (though I'm sure she'll pop in here to confirm or deny), and back then, little Miss Picky Eater me wouldn't touch them; I was probably turned off by the slight bourbon-y flavor. Apparently my tastes have matured a little over the years because these days, Kentucky Brown Sugar Pecan Bars are on the "must bake" list every holiday season!
Despite liking these cookies, I'm not a fan of straight up bourbon or whiskey. However, ITMan recently discovered honey whiskey after a coworker mentioned how good it was. I owe that guy a drink or something, because ITMan's sudden (and extremely unlikely and odd) interest in whiskey give me a couple of last minute gift ideas for him (this set of sweet Schott Zwiesel DOF glasses and a spiffy thingy that makes spherical ice), which is huge since he's notoriously hard to shop for. Not only that, I used the honey whiskey in the cookies this year instead of bourbon, and they're better than ever!
Right after I baked the cookies, I had to taste them of course. You know, just to be sure that the substitution didn't ruin them or something! 😉 While I was at it, I took a couple of pictures since I thought I might share the recipe here at some point. After dumping the pics of the cookies and some other things from the camera to the computer, I ran across this photo of the festive glitzy bits that I have hanging from the dining room chandelier:
Pine cones, feathers, bits of lace, buttons, velvet ric rac ribbon, and a fashion neclace with silver chain and plastic pistachio colored beads. I threw all that together to gussy up the chandelier for the holidays. I actually did that last Christmas, but I liked it all so well that I left it up there all year. I decided that the cookie photo and the chandelier photo shared a color palette that would make a lovely quilt, so I played with some fabric just to see:
The warm browns of the cookies, the light beigey-yellow label, and the pale pistachio napkin are striking against the dark grey-brown countertop, and I have LOTS of fabrics in those colors. It's not a complete palette yet and I'm not sure what I'll make with it, but I'll definitely file it away as fabric for thought!
Now that I've teased you with super closeups of yummy cookies, I'll leave you with the recipe! These bar cookies are a tad bit more sophisticated than the average sugar cookie which makes them perfect for New Year's celebrations, so it's definitely not too late to bake up a batch. Enjoy the rich sweetness now, count calories (or carbs or fat grams, whatever) later. 😉 Happy New Year!!
Processor Kentucky Brown Sugar Pecan Bars
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup toasted pecans; chopped
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup frozen butter; cut into small pieces
3 eggs
1/4 cup butter; melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar; firmly packed
3 tablespoons bourbon; or to taste (substitute with honey whiskey if desired)
pinch salt
In food processor fitted with steel blade, process flour, baking powder, salt, nuts, sugar, and butter pieces until mixture resembles fine meal (use pulse button for best control). Press into a buttered 8 inch square pan; bake at 350° 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Using steel blade, process until well blended remaining ingredients; pour over baked layer. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool; cut into bars with serrated knife.
Makes 32 bars.
Notes: If you don't have a food processor, you can make these in a mixer. You'll need to chop the pecans very finely before adding to other crust ingredients. Also, the crust never does look "golden brown" to me at 15 minutes, so I usually bake it a little longer. I keep these in the refrigerator since there are usually only two people eating them around here, though I do allow them to reach room temperature before eating. Impatient folks can just zap a couple of cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, then let rest for a minute or so before eating.
P.S. One of these days (if recipes ever become more than a "once every five years" thing around here) I'll make it so it's a one-button printout thing. Until then, you can select just the recipe and copy it, then paste into a new Word doc or even use Notepad and print it out. Or just Pin it to Pinterest, that works too! If I get really motivated when it's not almost 11p.m., I'll make a pdf file and plop it in here…

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, Inc., Santa Paula, CA, USA
What an amazing organization who's dedication to SAR dogs is monumental! What they do for the community in helping people is beyond incredible. I am inspired every day and only hope that as I train my SAR K9 I can meet some of these amazing people.
Review for Helping Paws Pet Rescue Inc, Ashland, WI, USA
I was staff for Doctor Gerber when she started the Helping Paws Pet Rescue years ago. We saw a huge need in this area for additional resources to combat the unwanted animals of this area, great or small. I was and still am very proud of Helping Paws, and worked hard to help it succeed. Now I am the very proud owner of an amazing little cat that would otherwise not have had the chance at life without Helping Paws and I'm also the owner of a retired race horse that was helped by Helping Paws. Two amazing animals that touched my soul, one amazing organization that I guarantee will touch your heart. They are simply the best.

The Majorelle Garden is a tranquil garden in Marrakesh, Morocco. It is one of the most famous sites north of the Sahara. The garden was created and named by the French painter Jacques Majorelle, but another Frenchman's name is also connected to the garden: the fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent.
After visiting Marrakesh for the first time, Majorelle fell in love with the city. In 1919, he purchased four acres of land on the border of a palm grove just outside the city walls, in the medina in Marrakech, where he lived and worked from 1923-1961.
During this period, Morocco was a French protectorate. In 1923, he built his Moorish-style villa with a hint of Art Deco style, painted in astonishingly vibrant colors, glowing with an intense blue. In 1937, he painted the façade of his studio, and later gates, pots, and pergolas in cobalt hue – a color that has since come to be known as Majorelle blue.
Around his Villa, he created a botanical garden, covering nearly two and a half acres. The magical garden is composed and colored like a painting. One of the most important elements of the garden is water.
Throughout the garden, there are channels, marble fountains, ponds filled with lotus flowers, and pools with water lilies and papyrus ringed with terracotta pots, mostly containing red geraniums. It is planted with lush vegetation that attracts hundreds of birds species, including robins, warblers, house sparrows, blackbirds, and turtledoves. The expansive garden offers a large selection of exotic plants, trees, and cacti, such as coconut palms, banana trees, bougainvilleas and groves of bamboo.
The French painter dedicated forty years of his life to creating the enchanting garden. Majorelle's garden was a true masterpiece. In 1947, he opened the garden for the public. In 1962, after surviving a car accident, he returned to France for a medical treatment and died in Paris. The garden was neglected.
The French designer Yves Saint-Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge frequently traveled to Morocco. Together they saved the villa and garden from property developers. They bought them in 1980 and started a process of restoration. Bergé and Saint Laurent transformed the design and planting but respected the vision of Jardin Majorelle.
Saint Laurent found the flowerpots in bright shades of sky blue, yellow, and the well-known cobalt blue tinged with violet fascinating. He and his partner installed automatic irrigation systems, increased the number of plant species from 135 to 300, introduced new pebbled paths, and replaced the red geraniums with local flora and drought- tolerant cacti.
After the restoration, the Majorelle garden hosted many unforgettable parties. Saint-Laurent and Berge moved into the villa and renamed it Villa Oasis, while Majorelle's studio was turned into a museum of Islamic art, where collections of jewelry, vases, and many other pieces were displayed.
Saint-Laurent died in 2008, and his ashes were scattered in Majorelle's rose garden. Berge donated the garden and villa to the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent. In his honor, in 2010, the street in front of the Jardin Majorelle was renamed Rue Yves Saint-Laurent. The Islamic museum became a museum of Berber art, while their Islamic art collection was sold to fund the garden and other projects. In 2010, Majorelle Garden hosted the exhibition 'Yves Saint Laurent et le Maroc,' showing creations by Yves Saint Laurent that were inspired by the country he loved so much.

The 45 minutes per match theme seems to be continuing. This was something that appeared to start under Koeman where we played well in the first half of a game, and then went to shit in the second half, or visa versa.With Unsworth's first two matches we were shit first half and improved second half. Granted he made half time changes, which would account for some of that.Why can we not get a full 90 minutes from this squad. It is clearly not a fitness thing, but why can they not get fired right away and stay that way. I don't think we played well in a full match for a long time.
How come we never get the new manager bump?
If you can provide even one piece of evidence that Moshiri is forward-thinking w/r/t football (not business, actual football) it would make me feel much better about the clubs prospects.
Just out of interest whats this heavy investment being made in the under 23s? Off the top of my head all I can recall is DCL being bought for the development squad for a large sum. The likes of Lookman and Vlasic were bought for the first team squad.
From that it looks like we get ripped off even more in the under 23s market than we do for our full squad!! 6.39 million spent with a market value of 1.44 million
No manager has made a success of a job, without any clarity on their position, while board chase every option around.Doesn't matter how good a manager he is, players downed tools because they don;t expect him to be there for long.
But he's trying to win the job as he's going from game to game. He couldn't afford to be too negative, because it's clear that board didn't fancy him, as they've avoided giving him the job at every opportunity.
I would think a potential manager would be thinkingif I turn this around I'll be a heroif it turns to shit well then the fans will blame the previous management and the board and I'll get out of here unscathed with a nice wedgewin win situation for any new manager I would have thought
Kenny regularly drops way behind the rest of the back line. Hes playing wing back there as well. Hes been decent lately but thats a massive weakness.
We would be doing his career a favour by getting him out of the under 23 squad.

Get started on a dream motorbike holiday from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi. Choose a motorbike, Honda Blade, Honda Winner, Honda XR or the Yamaha Exciter and then get started on the research of how to navigate Vietnam!
Feel comfortable driving a motorbike in Vietnam
The most common and simple motorbike in Vietnam is the Honda Semi-Automatic. Amazing indestructible motorbikes that can be seen throughout Vietnam. City driving, long distance travels, and offroading. The Semi-automatic Honda Blade can do it all. To understand how to drive these, Tigit has created an in-depth video explaining how to drive a motorbike in Vietnam.
Manual motorbikes are expensive and rare in Vietnam. Despite the small engine size of 150cc, they provide a unique punch of incredible optimisation of power to weight ratio. They leave experienced drivers in bewilderment at the torque and acceleration that such a small motorbike can provide.
The distance to drive a motorbike from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi
To drive Vietnam by motorbike Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi is approximately 10 days driving when driving all day. A normal traveller will take between 20-25 days with another 1 week to 3 weeks when going above Hanoi and into the Northern parts of Vietnam.
The drive will demonstrate the beauty of Vietnamese landscapes and culture. Few places in the world provide the freedom to travel by motorbike on remote countryside roads where each destination is within one day's drive of the next. Help is never far away, and when using Tigit Motorbikes a support line is provided to help with translations when needed.
Follow the Top Gear boys and enjoy this incredible adventure!
Never Break down!
Through Vietnam are official and reauthorized Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki mechanic shops. With Tigit Motorbike rentals, travellers can use these official mechanics and Tigit will refund any maintenance needed to the motorbike. Genuine motorbikes are very unlikely to break down, but even if something does go wrong they can be fixed on the road without any problems.
Honda, in particular, operate a world class service in Vietnam, where motorbikes are quickly and efficiently fixed by mechanics who know what they are doing!
The Cost of a holiday!
Using the Tigit buy and buyback system a holiday on a Honda Blade can be enjoyed for $250 over 35 days. In comparison to traditional motorbike tours or adventure holidays, in general, this is great value for money! A month of entertainment on a high-quality genuine motorbike that has the capabilities to tackle any road that Vietnam can throw at it. Travel beautiful mountain roads and untouched scenery whilst experiencing traditional Vietnamese culture. There are a few adventure activities that can provide this value for money!
Shorter daily motorbike rentals!
Day rentals for travellers are possible at $10 a day for the Honda Blade or $20 a day for manual motorbikes. Quick day trips such as visiting Monkey island for travellers passing through Ho Chi Minh city. Longer loops through Cat Tien Nation park and up the coast can be enjoyed with 3 day to 1 week motorbike rentals.
Pick the motorbike up in HCM and return back to the same office, passport deposits or online card transactions are possible.
Rent Motorbike in Ho Chi Minh City Saigon
Tigit provides a scooter rental service to expats and teachers living in Ho Chi Minh City Saigon. Rental scooters from just $50 a month which works out less than $2 a day!
With evidence of a job and a permanent address in Saigon an expat can rent a motorbike for incredibly low prices. City rentals are common in Ho Chi Minh, but few companies have the framework to provide high end motorbikes.
The Yamaha Nouvo is the go-to rental motorbike in Ho Chi Minh city. However, at Tigit motorbikes we use high-quality Suzuki Hayate, Honda Airblade or Honda Blade scooters. These motorbikes are respected scooters on the local markets and provide a safe and reliable experience for expats!
Tigit motorbikes has over 80 scooters on rent within Ho Chi Minh City and a service that continues to grow and provide stability to expats.
Avoid the embarrassment of breaking down on the way to work. Drive a respectable scooter that isn't considered cheap scrap metal by locals. Have pride and confidence in the scooter that you are seen driving on!
Don't fall for the Honda Win or cheap motorbike scams!
Don't risk a failed holiday on an unreliable motorbike that may never work. Spending the holiday with breakdowns and seeing the inside of mechanic shops. The Honda Win is a misleading scam of a motorbike, and anyone with motorbike experience will understand that quality is paramount in both safety and driving experience. It is the new drivers that fall for the delusion of the cheap motorbike scam, only to experience a holiday breaking down on wobbly and unstable toys. Travel Vietnam in style and be proud of the motorbike that is bringing you across this beautiful landscape.
A Proven reputable service.
Tigit Motorbikes has nearly perfect review ratings across the internet. Any Google, Facebook or Reddit search and evidence of safety is all that will be found! View our gallery of customers and theTigit Video channel on Youtube which has both official Tigit Motorbike videos and customer videos.
