'Marry Christmas' in Singapore as well
Posted on 27 December 2017 - 02:08pm
REMEMBER the "Mary Christmas" spelling mistake on a Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) bunting at the Kota Baru airport?
There were some red faces and Malaysia Airports has apologised for the mistake.
The SBS Transit of Singapore is not spared the blushes too. It too had to apologise for a message wishing commuters a "Marry Christmas" instead of "Merry Christmas" at one of the MRT stations on the Downtown Line.
The spelling error was displayed on an electronic display board on Christmas day.
"We are very sorry for the error in spelling and have corrected it. We hope this has not marred the festivities for any of our commuters," SBS Transit's senior vice president, corporate communications, Tammy Tan said.

So, I made my weekly trip to Meyer's Dairy in State College this morning for some farm fresh milk. Meyer Dairy is a State College icon started by two brothers in 1970. They have the best milk I have tasted since my childhood. I'm saving Meyer's for another day. Today, we're talking Carrot Cake as in Carrot Cake Day!!!
Armed with my replenished milk, I headed over to the new State College Diner for a bite to eat. I don't want to say this weekly event has become my routine since moving to Pennsylvania. Let's just say, I've been to the dairy three times and I'm only living here one month and two days:) Why do I make the 20 mile trip on a regular basis. Well, it's for the milk of course. However, I'm not much of a milk drinker. But, I do make yogurt as often as possible. I was getting a bit scant about my yogurt making while living in two places but since my permanent move, I've been setting it up at least once a week. Yes, I've been holding out on you. I'm saving my yogurt making escapades for another day too. Let me just explain the spoon in the image. It's plastic. I have a thing about using metal with yogurt. Weird I know:)
My feeling about Carrot Cake is you either like it or you don't. There's no in between. I happen to like carrot cake. However, I'm beginning to think Carrot Cake Day doesn't like me very much. My post for Carrot Cake Day last year got all discombobulated and it doesn't seem like this year's embarrassment is going to be any better. But, more about that later. Let's get on to the good stuff. First, I would like to thank all of the following hostesses for their generous hospitality and for letting me "borrow" their images to include in today's Carrot Cake Day recipe round-up. Thank you all so much:)

What's Up Carrot Cake?
Or, What's going down??? My plan was to bake a carrot cake from a recipe I found in The Yogurt Gourmet by Anne Lanigan. (1978) An excellent book by the way. However, when I went to the fridge to get the carrots ready, I realized I used the carrots for the Carrot Raisin Salad I made for the kids on Sunday. If you didn't see that post, I'll leave the link below. Well, lo and behold I chose to improvise. UG!!! First, let me scan the recipe for you from The Yogurt Gourmet. (click to enlarge)
The recipe is fairly easy to follow, IF, you follow the recipe. In this case, I got as far as the 2 cups of grated carrots and instead substituted crushed pineapples. I figured pineapples are often times used in carrot cake recipes, what the heck!!! Aly's Pineapple Carrot Cake looks pretty darn good. I also omitted the walnuts. Crushed pineapples and walnuts, No go! When it came to the shredded coconut I decided to "play." I "marinated" the shredded coconut in a mixture of pineapple juice, a few drops of Mojito Mix (I cleaned out the freezer this morning:) and some other juices I found in the fridge. Sorry, I can't remember what others, mad scientist that I am. Now, close your eyes for a second and prepare yourself. Open them. Ta Da!!!
It sunk!!! I don't know what happened. I tested it with a toothpick to make sure it was done. It baked for 55 minutes. I'm guessing I got my pan size wrong because when I went to cut a slice, ok so it wasn't entirely cooled, it was not done on the inside. Hence, I would imagine, the sinking. I did manage to get one slice cut before putting it back in the oven, which by the way didn't help:(
I share this with you today, not because I'm proud, quite frankly I'm more than embarrassed, but because, sometimes things like this happen. Has my baking "career" been hampered? Yes and No. Let's just put it this way, I won't be baking Carrot Cake any time soon so, if any body out there happens to have an extra slice or two, I'm really craving carrot cake. And, there's always next year to try again:)
To make up for my apparent "flop", I thought I would include another contribution for National Carrot Cake Day. How about this Golden Treasure Carrot Cake provided by the California Fresh Carrot Advisory Board?
Have a wonderful Carrot Cake Day. May all your carrot cake dreams come true:) I'll be back in time for National Frozen Yogurt Day, good Lord willing and the creek don't freeze. It is suppose to snow. Why would Frozen Yogurt Day be in February anyway I wonder?
Flash: If you have a carrot cake recipe to share, just leave the link in the comment section or email me. If you have a pic, email me and I'll include it:)

A Long March to Seize the Heart of Cairo
Persistent Egyptian Activists, Some of Them Veteran Protesters, Take a Central Square in Their Drive for Regime Change
CAIRO—It was early Friday afternoon, as growing thousands of protesters sought a route past riot police, across the Nile and into the center of Cairo, that seasoned democracy activist Ziad al-Alimi allowed himself a moment of optimism that the Mubarak regime would be toppled.
"I think we will do it," he said.

Like the funniest of men, he had that look: begins the opening poem, Revival, chosen as a Poem of the Week by Yorkshire Times, bad health crossed with indestructibility. Right away, then, we know that we are in the reading presence of somebody who has seen it all - observed the best in the business and knows by instinct who and what to watch out for. Indeed, Keith Hutson has a rich and varied background in the world of performance and comedy, having worked not only as a script writer for Coronation Street, but also as a joke writer for many famous comics, including Les Dawson. The book is actually prefaced with a joke from Dawson:
We were so poor, my dad couldn't afford homing pigeons
- he had a budgie on elastic.
The poet's professional history is brought to the fore in the poem Street Cred, in memory of Coronation Street creator Tony Warren, who died in 2016. We read of how the scriptwriter's first ventures into television met with little acclaim:
Future? Fallow at first. Children's Hour, a script
for Biggles and, expelled from acting class,
a spot of choreography in strip
cubs - hardly Moulin Rouge, but ready cash.
but of how, Later, sleeping on a slow train home from / Thanks, but no in London, you awoke - and how! I'll write about Florizel Street!
And so, the street's name inspired by a painting featuring the mythical Prince Florizel, reflecting on his own youth in the Salford town of Pendelbury, the lippy, witty, out-and-proud before / it was allowed Warren drew on his past to create character chiselled from the wartime tough backstreets in which he had grown up:
Mams, aunties, grans, the famin' neighbours -
warriors with nowt, who'd never ration
what they were: gossip, stoic, glamour puss;
grafter, scrubber, put-upon.
We learn how Warren was dissuaded by a a tv tea lady from his original choice of name, and so Florizel (Sounds like a disinfectant, son) became Coronation Street, and history was made.
There is room, in this vividly biographical poem, for some mentions of actual Corrie characters, as Warren begins to take / those matriarchs and make them Elsie, Ena, / Annie ...
and also:
Ken? Wrong gender, kid, but maybe
he was you: bright boy, back-alley dreamer.
Light of Manchester.
He talked a goood trapeze act - in his tights,
hands white with chalk - the best we never saw:
I might even change my mind, mid-air!
Sid had us gazing at those dizzy heights,
and he was there, all swing and sweep, above us,
never mind he hadn't even climbed
the pole, set foot inside a circus
or off terra-firma, ever.
- to the wide-eared innocence of The Call of the Wild, which commemorates animal impersonator Percy Edwards, and the radio shows, films and records in which he carried off the voices of dogs, pigs and lions - or the gentler example of this lovely memory:
I recall his coos, plump as a dove's,
on David Nixon's Magic Box; and um's LP
played as she helped me shepherd plastic sheep
across the rug.
Elsewhere, the human voice and the powers of impersonation are again revered, as the talents of Ephraim Barraclough (1853-1906) are described:
Tell him three traits, and he'd impersonate
your dad. This chip off everyone's old block
possessed, let's say, a patriarchal knack
to take a parent's essence, flesh it out
- the full Monty, Tom, Albert, Harry, Dick.
The emotional power of this act is hinted at, as:
offspring whose hurt returned took flight in tears;
beloveds got a flash of hero back.
...and in the bizarre The Man With The Xylophone Skull, we are presented with a prematurely bald headmaster who, in the early 20th Century, could play music by hitting his head with a brass handle. This improbable routine is not recommended - for as the poem recounts, the unfortunate musician went on tour, / six years - concussion, mild first, getting worse, till / memory went with his pension
But perhaps it is mainly, then, in the area of sound, of artistes as famous for their vocal skills and words as their physical stage presences, that Troupers most differs from its predecessor. Certainly, this book follows on from Routines in the generality of its subject matter, and the quality of the writing is on a par with that fantastic tribute to the stars of yesteryear, but Troupers is a noisier affair - from the the mournful music of radio show Sing Something Simple:
Sunday afternoons gave up the ghost
to this: a lone accordion
held little comfort as the theme tune
faded into half an hour of shadow
and Songs of Praise:
the tender preface could have been
Why not lie back
and ponder ways to end
it all without alarming others.
to the beauty of brass bands - Seconds into Sailing I'm in tears. This poem, one of Hutson's finest, is simply entitled Brass Band, and I remember him delivering it at readings to an almost reverential atmosphere:
Two bars, as a rule, before
the waters break and all my sorrows
drown into church hall,
assembly room.
I don't care, he explains, if you hit me with The Stripper or Hey Jude / who else takes air to make compassion / hospitals have targets for?
The poem, for one defined by its championing of sound, has a wonderfully visual quality, as the author recalls the many places he has watched brass bands:
I've seen you seated, standing, on the march:
in junior schools fresh and lamentable;
as engineers all male and overweight; Welsh Asians
adding spice to Bread of Heaven - and always
I'm delivered back, a boy of four, found on the prom
in Bridlington
Elsewhere, it is not so much sound as its opposite that is greeted with awe. In The World's Greatest Whistler (i.m. Ronnie Ronalde 1923-2015) we read of how:
this man sent shivers down
Sinatra's spine. Marilyn Monroe
spoke of a state of grace.
while the majestic Here's Looking At You pays homage to an artist I had never heard of, Alice Wolfenden (1861-1913) who, in her silent stage routines, could:
distil a lifetime's liveliness -
the ducks and dives, embraces, feints; compress
every advance, retreat, escape,into
one concentrated stare directed through
the theatre's gloom
Completely still, she'd throw
her gaze across the footlights. Those who
held it were transported - felt again
all that had lifted, stirred or broken them.
Similarly, the story of Hylda Baker (1905-86) is recorded, in Hylda, where the fortunes of this Lancashire lass are compared and contrasted with those of many of her mill-working contemporaries:
Nine was the age when the likes of her learnt
how to lip-read at the mill;
to flap their silent mouths in turn.
But Hylda found her voice inside this act,
talent that kept her in pink gins for years
We read of her troubled personal life, her struggles with drink, and her lonely death, in a poem woven with wordplay and associations, a fitting tribute to a complex, brilliant, sad figure.
Troupers certainly addresses the darker, bleaker side of the performing life. The hardships, the knock-backs, the failures. Romantic only in its unabashed adulation for the stalwarts of the stage, it paints a picture of survival rather than glamour, of trials more than thrills and spills. Even the well loved, if unlikely, Macauley's Leaping Infants, who graced the stage between 1856 and 1866, are depicted as a troupe who struggled to make ends meet. Devised by Lance Corporal Macauley - Alive, but both legs left at Balaclava - this acrobatic company were recruited by virtue of infirmity:
His plan
was martial: muster local urchins lame
from twisted, short or withered limb, club foot,
as the battle-scarred Lance Corporal, determined to avoid starvation or the penury of begging, took his infant retinue, like Fagin with his squadron of street kids, on the road:
The Times claimed it could never last,
yet England's Most Unlikely Acrobats
toured ten years without praise: laughter, instead,
kept both Macauley and his army fed.
Less successful is the pantomime dame depicted in Widow Twankey, a profoundly funny, painful poem, perfectly evoking an image of the down-at-heel has-been, hungover mornings on the promenades of decaying coastal towns, and of pathetic, faded glory:
Daybreak kills the lights along the pier.
Mist at the deep end lifts
and there the Playhouse hangs - that wreck
where last night was the deadest yet: a dozen
plus a seagull on the follow-spot
that took a dislike to his wig,
drawing blood for a finale.
The poem reads almost like a story, as Hutson brings into focus the inward despair of the defeated performer, the blunt brutality of matter-of-fact authority, and the harsh reality of thwarted ambition:
Sea weeps into the dame-shaped crater
made when he lost consciousness,
sometimes after they'd paid him off
and said they'll not be wanting him next winter
'cos you're shit, love. Had he thought it might be time
to hang his frock up? B&Q take people on
who haven't got a pension.
As a counterweight, consider the example of JD Plummer (1846-1901), whose one-man success story came about entirely by accident, and serves as a triumphant riposte to misfortune, and an inspirational example to any of us - within or without performance and the Arts - what can be done / by one who stands, delivers, falls, alone.
The poem's explosive opening asks
Do your colleagues call you a control freak?
Fuck 'em.
and proceeds to detail how:
Abandoned on the first night
by his cast, JD played every character
himself: Dick Turpin, victims, inkeeper
and black-eyed daughter Bess Dick's worn-out horse
also called Bess, and black (this did cause
confusion), Tom the Ostler who betrayed them,
weeping Widow Shelley, Tyburn hangman.
It is a fabulous, stirring story, told in the rhythmic musicality of Hutson's typically tight-packed stanzas, which reminds me of one of the first shows I ever saw, taken by my father at the age of six to watch not a one-man but a one-woman performance of Jack and the Beanstalk, delivered in a church hall in suburban Leeds, but magical in it transportation to another reality. The dogged persistence of Plummer, his absolute refusal to admit defeat, is a perfect testament to that tenacity and fortitude that typifies so much of the theatrical spirit. It is a spirit evoked beautifully in the poem I quoted from at the start of this piece, Revival, whose heroic protagonist, having weathered several heart attacks, assures us that Treading boards is my best exercise! , a personification of "the show must go on." The poem is a loving, respectful, unsentimental ode, to a particular time in British cultural history, a class of person, and a way of life:
And people like him, whose fathers
died in harness, whose mothers bore silent,
determined lives, they never bow out barely used.
One way or another they sweat buckets,
under stress, and make that state hilarious.
That's why we wet ourselves when they collapse
at the Palladium. And why its only right
to raise another smile, to bring them back.
And this is exactly what Keith Hutson has done with this memorable book. He has brought back to life a cast of characters whose unusual, crazy ways of making a living have seen them play a part, however minor or major, in the tapestry of theatre, comedy and music, brightened up dark wartime years, and cheered up a nation. And with his wry, tenderly comedic, acutely human poetry, Keith has pulled off the same kind of effect. I came across his book when I badly needed a lift in spirits. And I'm very glad I did so. Because it raised a smile.

An accident. A stroke. An infection. A heart attack. At times like these, access to high-quality critical care services isn't a luxury. It's a necessity.
The Richard and Joann Aubut Critical Care Unit (CCU) at South Shore Hospital allows our highly-skilled team of caregivers to better meet the South Shore's growing need for local access to advanced critical care services for patients with significant injuries, complex illnesses, or for those who are recovering from major surgery.
South Shore Hospital has developed a Critical Care program, led by an interdisciplinary team who care for both patients and their families.
Our Critical Care team includes:
After suffering a massive heart attack, Jay woke to lights over his head in an ambulance.Learn More
The Aubut CCU is designed to create a healing environment for patients and an efficient, collaborative workplace for caregivers. The unit features 24 spacious private rooms that accommodate the sophisticated technology required to save and sustain lives—as well as architectural elements that are proven to support healing, such as windows that allow natural light in each room. The Aubut CCU also features comfortable spaces for family members so they can stay close to their loved ones during a stressful time.
The Aubut CCU is part of a $62 million construction project that also involves renovating South Shore Hospital's former critical care area on the 6th floor of the Pratt Building into a 24-bed patient care unit. Renovations will begin in late Fall 2017 and are scheduled for completion in late 2018.
It's a new beginning - we will be even more integrated with the care that's being provided elsewhere in the hospital.
The most important thing we do is advocate for patients.
I'm most excited for some space to navigate within the new patient rooms.

Emma Gabriel, founder of Frankie Says OM, The New Black Method and Green Juice on the Rocks, on building her yoga teaching schedule since qualifying to teach just one year ago.
Emma qualified as a yoga teacher in August 2015 and has already made several positive strides in building up her private yoga class schedule, nutrition consultancy and an exciting niche wellness business in the modelling world.
She spoke to The Present of Yoga about what she's done so far and the lessons she's learned along the way.
Becoming a yoga teacher and starting Frankie Says OM…
I started doing yoga when I was in my teens with my mum, because that's what she was doing and it was something for us to do together. As I've always been a naturally flexible person, it was something I did well and so I really enjoyed it. It was also a nice way to spend some time with my mum. Then I went off to university and somehow I lost yoga somewhere along the way!
When I moved back to the UK, maybe five years ago, I found it again, wanting to start doing some sort of exercise. As it's so cold in the UK you can't really go and do stuff outside. I was living in Australia and Singapore before, so I could have done beachy, outdoorsy things, but moving here I needed to do something indoors. So I started doing yoga and just fell in love with it all over again!
Eventually, the work that I was doing wasn't really fulfilling me and I felt stuck. I didn't know what I wanted to do. My mum has been such a big influence in my life – I was complaining to her that I didn't know what I should do, I mentioned that maybe I'd do my yoga teacher training, and she responded positively, "Well, why wouldn't you do your yoga training?" "Well, because, you know, I don't think I'm quite good enough yet. I need to be able to do a handstand before I can do my yoga training." She said, "Why?" and I said, "I don't know." You get nervous thinking everyone's going to be incredible on a yoga teacher training. I didn't think I would be good enough; I was busy doubting myself. My mum said to me, "Where were you thinking of doing your yoga teacher training?". I replied "Well, I was looking at this place in Bali…" After we got off the phone, she called me back a little later and told me that she was going to pay the deposit, so I had to do it! She told me not to procrastinate and to just get out there and do it and it was the best thing that I've ever done. It's completely changed my life, and I've never been happier. So thanks to my lovely mum!
Coming back to London…
When I came back from my training, I was nervous. It's very nerve-wracking to put yourself out there, stand in front of people and act like you know what you're doing when really you're… [laughs] crying inside a little bit, because you're just so very very nervous!
I attended a lot of classes, because I found that was really beneficial. Doing that enables you to listen to the way the other teachers are directing. You pick up on things, you go, "Ah, yes, that was brilliant and so clear, the way she described that, I can use that cue." That was unbelievably helpful for me. I went to lots of classes with lots of different teachers. I also started teaching free classes to my close friends and family to ease myself in. I put a time limit on it though, because if you offer free classes and don't put a time limit on it in your mind, well, you're going to be teaching free forever!
My flatmate loved yoga, so I would teach her once a week. Just one morning a week, for free, for five weeks. That gave me five practice classes with her. I also told a bunch of my friends who didn't really like or do yoga, who only agreed to this as a favour, that I would be holding a yoga class in my house every Saturday morning, also for free, also for five weeks. So, basically, I'd given myself five weeks to find my yoga teacher voice and feet, then after that, for the ones who wanted to continue, I started charging.
I then started my yoga business website, Frankie Says OM – named after my dog Frankie who attends most of my classes that I teach! Having this website gave me somewhere to easily direct potential clients, so that they could find me and book my classes easily. After that I started inviting other people. I attend dance classes regularly and so I started inviting girls from there. I knew them, we were acquaintances, we chatted when I was in dance class, but we didn't hang out outside of the class. So there was that bit of extra pressure, in that now I had to be totally professional, because they weren't my close mates and they were all paying.
My main selling point was the girls saying to me in dance class, "So, how come you're so strong and flexible?" and I'd say, "Oh, it's yoga…and I teach it.". It was the perfect flow of conversation. I wasn't doing a hard sell and it felt totally organic in the way that it happened. And now I've got a little group that I teach every Saturday morning, and they're mainly girls from my dance school, it's just lovely.
I actually initially hired a space, to teach in a dance school that I was attending, with the aim of attracting some of the other dancers. I find that, really, the best way to sell yourself is to get out there and go into your local community, tap into the market that you already have set up. These people like you already. They're already rooting for you and they want you to succeed They're excited for you because they know you, even though they're not your best mates. That was the first bunch of people that I got to attend my classes, people I already knew.
Since then, I have also started approaching other places, such as yoga studios, as now I felt confident with my teaching abilities. It made a big difference to me personally that I'd already taught a lot of classes by this point because, when I am asked to do auditions, I have the confidence to say "Yes, no problem. I know I can handle that, because I've taught so many classes already", rather than saying "OK" and then floundering because I was so nervous.
I would say to new teachers, ease yourself in; you're not in a rush. Take your time; you've got the rest of your life to teach yoga. Go slow until you feel totally comfortable with it. But definitely start straight away. Just get in there and get your hands dirty with your mates – your mates love you, they'll love your yoga!
Since August 2015, Emma has also started a nutrition consultancy, Green Juice on the Rocks, and her model mentoring business The New Black Method. She goes on to tell us how The New Black Method started…
I had a friend who was working with MODELS 1 modelling agency. She was a model with them and she's also a personal trainer, so she was helping them out with personal training and nutrition for the newer, younger models, who needed a bit of support. She decided to move back to Sydney. I have a health coaching qualification and I'm currently two thirds of the way through my naturopathic nutrition and nutritional medicine diploma. She put my name forward to MODELS 1 when they asked who would she suggest as a nutritional coach, which was really lovely of her. I got in contact with them and put together a nutrition programme for them. I worked with a PT to create a full fitness programme for the girls, adding yoga, of course!
After a few chats with the bookers at the agency, I started thinking how there are so many aspects to life for young models in which they might need support. It can be a cutthroat industry and they're so young. Some of the girls that I've talked to and worked with are 16-17 and some don't really know how to look after their bodies in the right way, to keep them healthy and balanced, as well as maintaining their bodies so that they can still model.
I started thinking, "Wow, this is a great little niche market." And so I've created The New Black Method, which now helps to support young models in all sorts of areas like nutrition, financial management, public speaking and how to manage themselves on social media. Yoga is a big part, that can help them with getting and staying long and lean, breathing, meditation, managing anxiety and letting go of daily stresses. I'm The New Black Method yoga expert and nutrition expert, and then I have other experts across the board. I call us the model lifestylists! I'm in the process of building up this new business now, its all very exciting!
What's next for Emma and The New Black Method?
What's really lucky for me is that the two things that I feel really passionate about – yoga and nutrition – can be so nicely and easily linked. What you fill your body with, meaning your food, as well as how you manage your body through yoga, stress management as well as fitness, is all so interconnected. So luckily I'm able to take my two passions and use them in tandem. I try to run yoga brunches – including yoga, a nutrition talk and a three course brunch – at least once every couple of months. I love doing them. They are the perfect way to combine my two loves.
I'm also currently approaching more modelling agencies where I'm hoping that The New Black Method can become a support network for young models across many agencies, to hopefully, eventually, even branch outside of the UK. I'm from Singapore, so I hope to take the programme over there when I go back to visit my family next.
I think the models can relate to me pretty easily, because I have had all the eating disorders under the sun, I was a party girl, and I am very open and honest about it. I didn't live my life in a clean or yogic fashion at all throughout my 20s. So I've been there, I get it and I know how easy it is to be overly naughty. I still like to be a little naughty sometimes! Not to the extent that I used to be naughty of course! But it's nice to know that you still have a cheeky streak. That's always going to be a part of me, I just know how to control it better now! But I'm honest with my clients about my health history and I think that's what helps me to connect with my clients effectively, because I'm real, I'm relatable. I'm who I am. I'm what it says on the box!

The Present of Yoga's takeaways
Get started straight away – teach your friends, teach a few classes for free (but put a limit on it!), just get started teaching in any way you can as soon as possible after qualifying to build up your experience of actually teaching in real environments. Action is the source of opportunity.
Spotting opportunities – if you are teaching a class in a non-conventional environment with clients that you like or resonate with, think about what other complementary needs they may have that you can help them with or perhaps how you can teach more yoga classes to them. This very mindset led to Emma discovering her niche for The New Black Method.

Did you know that Manchester was an independent city until it was annexed by the City of Richmond in 1910? If so, did you ever wonder why Manchester agreed to consolidate? As you could probably guess, it all came down to money.
There were two arguments on the matter, and public relations efforts went into high gear on both sides. Those who wanted to consolidate saw a benefit in streamlining duplicate services, better bridge and rail connections, and increased commerce. Those who opposed annexation feared higher taxes, inferior services, and a more complex area for the City of Richmond to administer.
From the Valentine's history piece on the matter entitled Manchester: From Sister City to South Richmond:
"Those Richmonders in favor of consolidation sought to benefit from Manchester's industrial resources; to streamline manufacturing; to control over bridges; and to increase the city's white population, which was stagnant and increasingly African American. Richmonders opposed to the merger forsaw increased expenses from administering another large district.
In Manchester, citizens on both sides of the issue voiced strong sentiments. Pro-annexationists held a rally at the Leader Building on the evening of April 14, looking forward to expanded services and infrastructure. The Manchester Anti-Consolidation League, which held a concurrent rally across the street, warned that Manchester would not only lose its independence, but would have increased taxes while receiving inferior services."
Ultimately the City of Richmond agreed to annexation, but Manchester voters had to approve the consolidation. The annexation contingent ultimately prevailed. According to the Valentine:
"At 10:20 A.M. on April 15, 1910, Judge Frank L. Christian of Lynchburg declared the election by Manchester voters in favor of consolidation with the City of Richmond.
Manchester city employees then paraded to the Treasurer's office to receive their final paychecks. Another parade, consisting of five automobiles carrying Manchester officials, crossed the James River Free (9th Street) Bridge and proceeded to Richmond City Hall."
I wonder if that same debate and resulting vote was held today would annexation prevail just like it did in 1910? Or would the independent contingent win the argument this time around? Regardless, it would certainly be an interesting debate to watch unfold.

There are over 40 species of Chaetostoma and classification is not easy. Most species offered for sale will grow to 10cm, although a few species can reach nearer 20cm, which should be considered in case a larger species is purchased unintentionally. The fish pictured is likely to be 'L146' or C. thomasi. The fish come from clear, well oxygenated high altitude streams. In the aquarium this means they prefer slightly cooler water and strong filtration and aeration. These are peaceful fish, although some may show occasional territorial behaviour towards others of the same family. Provide hiding spots in caves or under rocks or wood and feed on sinking foods including vegetable matter and a small amount of meatier foods.

Kerry Goodwin L.A.c., MAOM
I'm Kerry Goodwin, licensed acupuncturist and certified Chinese herbalist specializing in the treatment of women's health, fertility, prenatal and postpartum care, gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders, food sensitivities, nutritional counseling, and mental health. My goal is to provide the highest level of care and compassion to my patients. I believe in looking at the body and person as a whole, not merely a series of symptoms. My background as a professional ballet dancer taught me to connect and listen to my body and I hope to bring that same body awareness to my patients through the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs,
moxibustion, cupping, nutrition, and body work.
As a practitioner my priority is to hold a safe and healing space for patients seeking optimal health and balance in their lives no matter where you are in your journey toward health and wholeness. I absolutely love connecting with my patients and bringing the medicine to as many people in my community as I can. During treatments I spend the majority of the time with my patients using additional modalities and I tailor each treatment to the specific needs each time.
My husband and I are thrilled to begin exploring all that Asheville and the surrounding area has to offer. We have lived in Portland, OR for the last five years where I received my Master's Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. After graduating I opened Alignment Acupuncture in Portland and also taught ballet barre classes at Mod Physique. But the pull of being closer to family and new opportunities drew us East. Whether we are on the west coast or the east coast, we enjoy camping, spending time outdoors, exploring our city, and cooking with friends and family.

It was in the year 1902 Jayaprakash Narayan was born in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He became highly popular for his superb work in social reform and independent activism is known well now.
It was in 1999 this Jayaprakash Narayan was given the prestigious Bharat Ratna posthumously for his outstanding contributions. He married a woman named Prabhavati Devi when he was just 18 and this Prabhavati Devi was also a freedom fighter. As one of the front runners in Quit India Movement this Jayaprakash Narayan went to jail many times under British rule but made deep impression on the people.
One shocking news about him was in the year 1979 in the month of March he was declared dead by mistake and this was done by the then PM of India Mr Morarji Desai. It must not be forgotten that this caused national mourning plus suspension of parliament. Apart from these there was also closure of shops, schools etc and this was when he was in hospital.
It must be noted that this Jayaprakash Narayan smiled when he was later told about the mistake of Indian PM who announced that he was dead by mistake. The mistake was mainly because India PM Morarji Desai mistook another person to be Jayaprakash Narayan as they were similar in looks. On October 8th in 1979 Jayaprakash Narayan passed away when he was nearing his 77th birthday. Sensational Jayaprakash Narayan!!

Door left open for La Traviata to face boys
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - A nose separated trainer Patrick Biancone from a perfect weekend.
Biancone looked like he was going to win Sunday's Grade 1 Ballerina with Baroness Thatcher until the final jump when Maryfield nipped her at the wire. It was the second time this year Baroness Thatcher finished second in a Grade 1 race. In February, Rags to Riches beat Baroness Thatcher by three-quarters of a length in the Las Virgenes.
"She'll win a big one one day," said Biancone, who noted that Baroness Thatcher is on the smallish side and will likely be given a break. "Except for Curlin, she's the only one to make Rags to Riches run. This filly is brave."
Baroness Thatcher's nose loss couldn't take away the excitement from La Traviata's sensational 9 1/4-length victory in Saturday's Grade 3 Victory Ride for Biancone. The brilliant performance was overshadowed as the Victory Ride came in the race immediately following the Travers. After stumbling at the break, La Traviata picked herself up and cruised around the track, running six furlongs in 1:09.78. She earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 103.
The win kept La Traviata undefeated in three starts and has her connections pointing to the Breeders' Cup. While the new $1 million Filly and Mare Sprint on Oct. 26 is the likely spot, Biancone said La Traviatta's owners haven't ruled out running her against males in the $2 million Sprint the following day.
Biancone said that in the euphoria of La Traviata's performance in the Victory Ride, the subject of facing males was brought up by owners Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, and John Magnier.
"It's an emotional thing after the race - she won by nine, she can conqueror the world," Biancone said. "We need everybody to calm down. We'll see who goes where. We don't need to decide today."
Biancone did say that La Traviata will train up to the Breeders' Cup no matter what race she runs in. Biancone said there are no other six-furlong races for fillies and mares and he doesn't want to run seven furlongs with her before the Breeders' Cup.
"I don't want to take her out of her game," Biancone said. "Her game is to just jump and run. I know it was only a Grade 3, but after two furlongs, it was over. She's unbelievable. She's a freak of nature."
Frankel pleased with First Defence
Trainer Bobby Frankel couldn't have been happier with First Defence's performance in Saturday's Grade 1 King's Bishop Stakes. He also couldn't help but wonder what might have been had his colleague Larry Jones opted to run Hard Spun in the Travers instead of the King's Bishop.
First Defence finished second to Hard Spun, 4 1/4 lengths in front of third-place finisher E Z Warrior, after making the lead briefly near midstretch in the seven-furlong King's Bishop.
"If Hard Spun had gone in the Travers, my horse might have won by four or five lengths the way he ran and would have looked like a champion," Frankel said. "As it was, I thought he ran an excellent race. The winner was just a little more seasoned and I think that's what made the difference in the end."
Frankel said he's not sure what would be next for First Defence, although mentioned the Grade 2, one-mile Jerome on Oct. 7 as an option.
"I'm not sure if he's a Breeders' Cup sprinter-type, although he's fast enough," Frankel said. "The Jerome at a mile might suit him well."
First Defence and E Z Warrior could wind up squaring off again in the Jerome. Trainer Bob Baffert said he's likely to stretch E Z Warrior out a little farther after he rallied from near the rear of the field to finish third in the King's Bishop.
"He doesn't seem to have the gate speed he had as a 2-year-old," Baffert said. "He dropped well out of it in the King's Bishop, then all of a sudden he kicked in and began weaving his way through horses. I thought he showed a lot of guts and ran awesome. I'll probably bring him back in the Jerome."
Shakis points to Shadwell Mile
Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said 7-year-old Shakis came out of his victory in Saturday's Grade 2 Bernard Baruch Handicap in good order and that he'd be pointed for the Grade 1 Shadwell Mile at Keeneland Oct. 6, a race sponsored by Shakis's owner-breeder, Shadwell Stable.
"It's fitting for a Shadwell horse to go to that race," McLaughlin said. "It means we'll be going from 11 furlongs to 10 to 8 with him, but I don't think that's a negative for this horse because it should mean he'll get more pace to run at."
Midnight Lute drills for Forego
Midnight Lute has had his share of physical issues over the years, but on Monday he looked quite healthy working four furlongs in 46.53 seconds over Saratoga's main track. He is being pointed to Saturday's Grade 1, $250,000 Forego Stakes at seven furlongs.
Midnight Lute, trained by Bob Baffert, has not run since April 14 when he finished fourth as the favorite in the Commonwealth Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. Midnight Lute has had a chronic breathing problem that has required three throat operations, including two since his last race.
"I'm telling you he's one of the top 10 horses I ever trained," Baffert said. "If I could just put a PVC pipe in his throat. He's so talented. The sky would have been the limit."
Baffert said the last time Midnight Lute ran, his throat was "completely paralyzed."
The surgery he underwent is known as a tie-back operation, which ties back a piece of cartilage, known as the flapper, which can obstruct a horse's flow of air.
Among Midnight Lute's opponents in the Forego will be High Finance, the Tom Fool winner, who on Sunday worked five furlongs in 1:00.19, and Attila's Storm, the Alfred G. Vanderbilt runner-up who on Monday worked four furlongs in 49.47 seconds.
Magna Graduate to start in Woodward
Magna Graduate, who finished fifth in last month's Whitney Handicap, will join stablemate and Whitney winner Lawyer Ron in the starting gate for Saturday's Woodward Stakes, trainer Todd Pletcher said.
Despite wet conditions on both the main track and training track Sunday morning, Pletcher put each horse through his final workout over the Oklahoma training track. Lawyer Ron was credited with a half-mile in 49.54 seconds. Meanwhile, Magna Graduate went a sharp five furlongs in 1:00.15, getting his last quarter in 24.40 seconds.
Pletcher said Magna Graduate had some trouble in the Whitney that he felt cost him a placing.
"This horse is not crazy about being stuck inside," Pletcher said. "He kind of got stuck inside the whole way. Obviously, it was a large field. Horses were kind of spread out in front of him. He was unable to get position in the clear, and actually had to steady a bit at the eighth pole, which you could argue cost him a placing on the board."
Also on Sunday, Suburban Handicap winner Political Force worked a mile in 1:41.12 for trainer Allen Jerkens.
Discreet Cat gets back to work
Discreet Cat, unraced since finishing last in the $6 million Dubai World Cup in late March, officially returned to the work tab Monday morning, drilling three furlongs in 37.39 seconds under exercise rider Simon Harris.
Discreet Cat galloped out four furlongs in 49.86 seconds.
Discreet Cat, who won the Grade 1 Cigar Mile last November at Aqueduct, will likely breeze here one more time before returning to Belmont, where his connections hope to start him, perhaps in the Vosburgh on Sept. 30.
Glacken's Girl retired due to injury
The Pletcher-trained juvenile filly Glacken's Gal, undefeated in two starts, has been retired after suffering an injury during a workout last week. She will be put through the Fasig-Tipton horses of all ages sale in November.
Pletcher said Glacken's Gal was found to have a fracture of the sesamoid bone of her left front ankle, presumably after working five furlongs in 1:03.62 on Aug. 21.
Glacken's Gal, a New York-bred daughter of Smoke Glacken, won her maiden by 3 1/2 lengths at Belmont on May 31 and the Astoria by two lengths on July 1. She was owned by Let's Go Stable, a partnership headed by Kevin Scatuorchio.
Travers business down slightly
Attendance and handle were down slightly for this year's Travers compared to 2006.
Saturday's crowd of 38,909 was down from 40,785 in 2006. Ontrack handle was down from $8,574,822 to $7,765,702, while total handle was down slightly from $37,015,287 to $36,749,572. Both handle numbers were affected by two refunds that forced NYRA to return $670,190.

Anni Maliki Design
for every sold piece of Anni Maliki Design, 1$ is donated to Runa Foundation. Five years ago, as I wandered around my local health food store, I spotted a new tea called RUNA. I was attracted by its tag line'Clean Energy.' I had been looking for an alternative to black tea – something that might preserve my morning caffeine ritual but without the down sides of stained teeth and jitters. I bought a box

Almost everyone starts off the first few weeks of a new year with great intentions and excitement, and then slowly but surely, the enthusiasm starts to wane. Sounds familiar, right?
You don't have to have that happen this year.
When I work with my clients on setting their intentions for the New Year, what gets extraordinary results is helping them set up their intentions with "I Am" mantras.
Some examples of how to use the "I Am" mantras are:
- "I Am in a committed, loving relationship with a partner who I totally adore and who totally adores me."
- "I Am experiencing financial success."
The "I Am" mantra puts you in the consciousness of having already received your deepest dreams and desires. It is a very strong message to the universe and has created extraordinary results in my clients' lives and in my personal life.
However, during the process of creating the next shift in your life, sometimes it is hard to maintain that positive feeling in the "I Am" mantra context. You might experience disappointments and setbacks on your journey, which can give you the feeling of being tired and doubting whether it will ever happen. That is normal. But, what you can do, is to start to shift your emotional energy by using "I Want" mantras:
Some examples of how to use the "I Want" mantra could be:
- I Want more support for my daily challenges, now!
- I Want this situation to change, now!
- I Want a partner worthy of me, now!
Use the power of your anger or frustration that you feel as you declare them, state it, and let it go. The more you claim from the assertive "I Want" energy, the stronger you will feel. You'll be amazed at how this moves the energy forward so you can connect freely again to the "I Am" mantras.
Also, if you're still feeling lost in the phase of not knowing what you really want in your career, relationships, where you want to live, etc., simply affirm what you DO know right now. For example:
- What I DO know is, I want a better relationship.
- What I DO know is, I want an even more beautiful place to life.
- WHAT I DO know is, I want more love in my life.
- What I DO know is, I want a career that's creative, exciting, and monetizes my value.
Be sure to state all the positive examples of what you DO know you want, so your mind starts to lock in on certainty, rather than confusion, or duality. You will begin to feel more confident in your ability to find your way. Remember that out of chaos comes clarity, and in order to experience change, you also need to become comfortable with the unknown as things shift and change. Stating mantras of "What I DO know" will anchor and ground you as you shift and glide towards your future.
The "I want" and "What I DO know" approaches will help you when you feel flat, or tired and uninspired, so you can shift that energy and get back on track.
You absolutely deserve to live the greatest year of your life in 2012, so don't let temporary blips get in your way.

Confirmation Ministry
Confirmation is defined as a pastoral and educational ministry of the church which helps the baptized through Word and Sacrament to identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate more fully in its mission (ELCA 1993).
At Immanuel confirmation is not graduation from Sunday School but is in fact, the opposite. It is a process through which children grow into adults in the church. Growing into adulthood means that one worships regularly and actively participates in the ministry of the church.
Therefore each confirmand will:
- Celebrate regularly by attending weekly worship services
- Grow in understanding by attending the confirmation program twice monthly during the school year for two years, participating in confirmation camp, and taking part in weekly Sunday School classes.
- Serve using their time and talents in support of Immanuel's mission. This service could include assisting at worship, helping at soup suppers during Lent, and working with the children during Vacation Bible School.
- Demonstrate their growth as disciples by completing a project during their second year in conjunction with a mentor that shares their faith.
Typically confirmation class is for youth in seventh and eighth grade. Arrangements with the pastor can be made for older individuals.

If you're really serious about your content marketing you really need to get serious with your social media. Social media has an amazing ability to amplify your content and have it reach people you'd never imagined. It helps with your SEO, it helps to build trust with your followers and it helps you get leads to your website. But if your social media is simply an afterthought and you post when you remember and don't really have a plan, it's likely that your social media won't work as well as it should.
So considering it's almost the end of 2014, I thought I'd put together some ideas for you to develop a kick ass social media plan for 2015 so you can start fresh and reach some goals.
1. Actually have a plan
It doesn't have to be detailed, it should at least contain these things:
- Your ideal audience (gender, age, interests, challenges, goals)
- Your competitors – where are they on social media? What are they doing well (or not so well)?
- What channels are you going to focus on? (where does your ideal audience hang out?)
- What are your social media goals? They could be that you want to get more traffic to your website or that you'd like to build your email list.
- How are you going to measure your goals? What insights or analytics are on offer for the channels you are using?
- How often are you going to post on social media?
- What type of content are you going to share? (don't forget this should be linked in to your audiences needs, what content do they want and that will help them?)
And then your social media plan should also address the following areas within the above sections:
2. Automation
It could make life a whole lot easier if you automate your social media updates instead of posting when you remember or doing it all manually. Consider applications like Hootsuite or Buffer to make your life just a little bit easier and more organised.
3. Fill in the gaps
Determine what your competition is doing or writing about, find a topic you love, that's timely and no one else is writing about. Of course, you need to make sure it is content that hits your audience's pain points and that they'll value. This is what makes high quality content.
4. Listen
'Listen' to your followers, they will give you a good indication of whether or not they find your content valuable. You can 'listen' by observing shares, comments, tweets, retweets and comments on your blog. What posts have gained more traction on your social media channels? These are the topics that hit the sweet spot. Also 'listen' to chatter within your industry or niche.
5. Crowdsource
Stuck for ideas? Ask your community how they feel about a certain topic or ask them to give examples of what happened to them in a particular situation and gather them together in a post. For example, you might ask your audience how they budget during Christmas and then create a list post of the 'top 10 ways keep your finances in check during Christmas.' Easy.
6. Maintain social media etiquette
It goes without saying really, but if you really want to show you care, be sure to respond to comments, be consistent and show your true self instead of coming across as a faceless robot behind the facade or social media. In your social media plan, specify the type of voice you are going to use and how often you will allocate yourself each day/week to engage with your followers.
7. Look beyond Facebook
As we all know, in the new year Facebook is going to make it even tougher to get a good organic reach. Sure, stay on there and battle it out (or pay to promote your posts if you have the budget) but make yourself open to other social media channels. If you've been solely relying on Facebook, I'd recommend you start putting more effort into other channels now so they can make up for the loss experienced over on Facebook.
8. Measure
You will not know where to improve or how to improve if you don't look at your analytics. Once you've set yourself some goals, determine some KPI's (key performance indicators). This could be something like '5 new page likes a week'. Then at the end of each month, look at your insights to see if you have achieve this. If not, have a look at where you could improve, it may just mean you have to look at your content strategy and share content that is more targeted to your audience.
I could keep going on and on about things to include in your social media plan, but I think these are definitely some ideas to get you started.

These men are coming to help people in the eastern Congo, apparently, with the Eastern Congo Initiative NGO.
Howard Buffet is the son of Warren Buffet. This family are part of the elite/Illuminati/cabal destroying Africa and the world.
Ben Affleck is a Hollywood film star and should stick with that.But nowadays they use Hollywood stars to promote their Mr Nice Guy image.It is part of the NGOs public relations act.
When Mr Buffet donates his charity money to `victims` of the DRC; it would be better to ask Mr Buffet and his friends how it is they came to be some of the richest people in the world.
It would also be a good question to ask Mr Buffet what corporations have got the mining rights in Eastern Congo.
We could also ask Mr Ben Affleck why it is in his opinion, that Hollywood has been promoting racism and the culture of white supremacy for the last 100 years.

The Model Development Control Plan (DCP) – Protecting Sydney's Wetlands was prepared by the SCCG in conjunction with the Protecting Wetlands Steering Committee. The Model DCP and the supporting resource folder provide Local Government and other development consent authorities with a generic model planning mechanism for consistent and coordinated protection and management of coastal wetlands.
Funding to undertake the project was obtained in late 1999 through the Commonwealth Government's National Heritage Trust through the Coasts and Clean Seas - Coastal and Marine Planning Program. The financial assistance is supported by the Protecting Wetlands Steering Committee and the SCCG and its Member Councils through the provision of significant in kind support. The Plan has its origins in the SCCG's 1998 Sydney Regional Coastal Management Strategy.
The purpose of the Model DCP and the supporting management reference material is to provide a template for consent authorities to develop their own consistent planning mechanisms to protect wetland systems. The purpose is to also provide clear information and advice to Council officer and developers. The generic instrument can be either simply adopted or incorporated into existing relevant planning instruments and easily amended where necessary to suit location conditions. The Model DCP was prepared as a whole of government initiative involving all spheres of government and research organisations.
For more information please contact SCCG.

Dr. Haritz Sardon Muguruza earned his BS in Chemistry and his MS in Applied Chemistry and Polymeric Materialsfrom the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU). He got his PhD also from the UPV-EHU with the especial mention of "Doctor Europeus". During the mentioned PhD, he spent 6 months at Laboratoire de Chimie et Procédés de Polymérisation (LCPP), CNRS, Villeurbanne, France under the supervision of Dr. Elodie Bourgeat-Lami and Dr. Muriel Lansalot.
He held a postdoctoral researcher position at IBM-Almaden Research Center (SanJose, California) in 2012 to work with Dr. James L. Hedrick. There, he developed sustainable approaches for the synthesis of polyurethanes using isocyanate and metal-free methods as part of IBM´s smart planet initiative. The goal was to synthesize "smart" polymers that execute useful biological functions on the nanoscale, e.g. selectivity delivering drugs to tumors, killing pathogens without harming human cells, etc using organocatalysis.
In 2014, as part of his postdoctoral training, he spent 5 months in the group of Vygodskii (INEOS, Russia), working on the synthesis of ionic cationic diols to enhance the CO2 separation in polyurethane membranes.
Nowadays, he is coordinating a Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Joint Doctorate Training Network (ITN-EJD) in sustainable polymerization processes (SUSPOL). And supervising 3 PhD students inside this european network.
Honors and awards
In 2011, he was awarded with a Post-doctoral grant from the Basque Government. In 2014 he was awarded with a "Juan de la Cierva" award. Also in 2014, he was awarded with Iberdrola Research Project for young researchers in energy and environment.
In 2016 he took an Ikerbasque Research Fellow position between the BERC-POLYMAT and the University of Basque Country to start his independent research lines. His overall research aims to prepare new functional polymeric materials using sustainable polymerization processes for advanced engineering and biomedical applications. Specially, using "green" polymerization processes such as monomers from polymer recycling, reagents from renewable sources or the use of less hazardous organocatalysts to prepare high added value polymers.

Seemingly easy, doing your eyebrows and finding the right shape may prove to be quite challenging. A few simple rules below will help you get it right.
Step 1. Determine the right shape for you
A perfect brow has a certain length – it begins above the inner corner of your eye and ends above the outer corner. Draw imaginary lines and mark the dots using an eye pencil.
Determine the right brow shape for you based on the shape of your face. This is a defining step.
Image Source: m.trusper
Round face
Angled eyebrows with high arch and a short end is your best bet. But don't make the arch overly sharp – this will only emphasize the roundness of your face. Steer clear of curved eyebrows.
Triangle-shaped face
To compliment your face, go for slightly high eyebrows with a soft curve, medium length. Straight thick eyebrows is not the best choice.….READ MORE ON THE NEXT PAGE

Boardman Bikes
In short Britain's fastest growing bike brand.
How did it begin? Alan Ingarfield, a former eite triathlete, approached Chris Boardman in 2004 with the idea to set up a bike brand that would capitalise on Boardman's unique reputation. As a former Olympic and world-record holder, Boardman was then probably Britain's best-known cyclist, but was celebrated just as much for his pioneeering approach to technology. He was most famous for the Lotus bike on which he won Olympic gold in 1992. The Lotus looked as much like a giant bat as a conventional bike and used a carbon monocoque rather than tubed frame. It helped Boardman destroy his opposition in Barcelona.
What is the brand's USP? Chris Boardman's input. Many former cyclists have put their name to bike ranges but few would demand to be involved in every stage of production, from design to sign-off, as Boardman has been. That he was also in charge of research and development with the all-conquering British cycling team seriously helped the brand, too. Who would not want to buy a bike designed by the man who supplied Sir Chris, Sir Brad and the rest?
Has it been a success? Cycling brands are notoriously secretive with sales figures and, as a private limited company, Boardman Bikes is not obliged to reveal anything to the public with regard to its turnover. However, its expansion two years ago backs up the suspicion that its success is rampant. While it sold only to UK-based customers on its launch in 2007, now you can buy an elite-range Boardman Bike anywhere abroad via wiggle.com. You'll find them for sale on the ground in North America, Australia, the Far East and several countries in mainland Europe.
Meanwhile Halfords, through whom Boardman Bikes exclusively sells its cheaper bikes in the UK, attributes much of its recent success partly to the relationship. After several years of fairly steady growth, Halfords' bike sales increased again by 15.7% in the first quarter of 2013.
Who rides them? Initially it was mostly the commuter or casual cyclist, as the company targeted the Cycle To Work scheme that applied only to bikes up to a certain value (currently £1,000). That changed once punters realised the bikes are often cheaper than older brands' equivalents, mostly because Halfords' clout enables it to deal directly with factories in the Far East, thus cutting out distributor costs.
The brand's image broadened further two years ago when it launched its elite series of bikes. Now you can buy a Boardman for anything up to £7,500, which gets you the triathlon bike on which Australia's Pete Jacobs won the Ironman World Championship.
Dave Minter, a former professional mechanic with Tour Feminin and the Scott team, captured the general view of the company: "Many Boardman bikes are among the best value for money in the British market. Typically they have well balanced specifications built around lightweight frames. Some competitors use respected brands for more visible parts like the derailleurs but save money elsewhere with less durable choices."
Have there been any problems? Yes, but more with Halfords than Boardman Bikes. Customers have complained about both the inefficiency with which Halfords staff assembled the bikes and their aftercare service. That was perhaps partly down to cycling snobs' attitude towards the mass-market, family-oriented brand but as Minter points out: "It isn't just snobbery. Halfords staff range from knowledgeable and enthusiastic to bored and inexperienced. Unfortunately the latter are more memorable, particularly if they forget to tighten your brakes or some other important part."
So has the issue been solved? Not entirely. Boardman Bikes has addressed it but it is almost impossible to police all staff when Halfords has more than 460 British stores. The appointment of the widely admired Matt Davis as Halfords chief executive could help, though. He has taken steps to improve customer service.
What is the best product to buy? The Boardman SLR 9.0 trumps most rivals. Priced at £1,999, it is among the lightest and best equipped bikes in its range, with a one-kilogram frameset and 390gram fork, an SRAM force groupset, Ksyrium Equipe wheels and a Fizik Arione saddle. And after six years of mostly black bikes, Boardman made this one red, which, to the cycling fan, is the fastest colour. Crucially for the enthusiast, only independent retailers sell elite Boardmans in Britain too. The only caveat? The SLR 9.0 recently sold out, but more are due before the end of the year.
Best Ebay find? Secondhand Boardman Bikes tend to emerge online relatively frequently because of their popularity among Cycle To Work customers, who often either find it easier to buy a bike than ride one or upgrade after the purchase has been repaid (usually over a year). We like the 2012 Team Carbon that used the frame on which Nicole Cooke won the world championship and retailed at £999, a price so low the company could not sustain it.
