Can you do one of these for the Vuelta? There were some really interesting bikes there, BHs, all sorts. Love to see it.
Perhaps one of the most appealing things about professional cycling is that you can buy and ride the very same bicycle that Peter Sagan sprints to victory on, or the one Geraint Thomas just used to win the 2018 Tour de France. You really can walk into a bike shop and ride away on a bike that's identical. Try doing that in Formula One.
The one small — okay, large — caveat with this is the very high prices such bikes usually command. Happily, however, it is possible to get bikes that are very similar, not only in appearance but also in construction, to the ones the stars of cycling ride, but at cheaper prices. Okay, these bikes aren't cheap, but they are cheaper. It's all relative, isn't it? These bikes use very similar frames, just with cheaper spec sheets.
>> Read more: Things you only see on pro race bikes
To see what is available, we've had a look at seven manufacturers — Scott, Cannondale, Trek, Specialized, Giant, Canyon and Pinarello — to show that you can realistically get a bike that can trace its DNA directly up the chain to those that the professional cyclists are racing. We've focused on bikes that share the same (or very similar) frame and keep the cost a little more achievable with less posh components. Aside from parts like wheels, transmission and handlebars and stems, these bikes are essentially the same as the WorldTour bikes.
Scott Foil 20 Disc 2020 — £3,199
Now that the UCI has decided disc brakes are not in fact the modern equivalent of the scythes on the wheels of Boudicea's chariot, we're seeing a lot more bikes in the pro peloton with disc brakes. The Mitchelton-Scott team is using Scott's Foil RC Disc aero bike. The full-dress Foil Premium Disc with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 shifting and Zipp Zipp 303 NSW Disc Firecrest wheels will make an £11,000-deep dent in your bank balance, but there's a cheaper alternative.
The Foil Disc 20 has the same frame shape, but uses a less spendy grade of carbon fibre to keep the cost under control. It has Shimano's excellent Ultegra mechanical shifting and Scott's own Syncros RR2.0 Disc wheels, but retains the sleek aero seatpost and tidy stem design of the five-figure bike.
Specialized Tarmac SL6 Disc Comp — £2,900
If you want to be Peter Sagan, but can't afford ten grand for a Specialized S-Works Venge or Tarmac Sagan Special Edition, here's a rather more sensible option. The Tarmac Disc Comp uses the same SL6 frame design as the Bora-Hansgrohe team's Tarmacs, but laid up in a less expensive grade of composite: Specialized's FACT 9r carbon rather than the S-Works bike's FACT 12r.
A complete Shimano Ultegra groupset with hydraulic brakes makes it go and stop, and it rolls on DT Swiss R470 wheels with 26mm Specialized Turbo Pro tyres.
Pinarello Prince FX — from £3,300
If you desperately want a Dogma just like what Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas ride, but the budget won't stretch to the price of £9,250, Pinarello has your back. In July 2018, at the height of Tour de France fever, Pinarello relaunched the Prince as a more affordable version of the Dogma, and while it shares a similar frame profile, it's made from a different blend of carbon fibre.
This brings the price down, with a full Shimano Ultegra bike with Fulcrum Racing 5 wheels costing £3,300. To bridge the gap between the Prince and the Dogma series there are two Prince variants, the Prince and Prince FX; the latter uses a higher of carbon fibre.
Take a look at Chris Froome's Dogma F10 here.
Canyon Aeroad CF SL 8.0 2020 — £3,049
If you want to emulate Marcel Kittel or Alex Dowsett, then you need Canyon's Aeroad. The attraction of buying from a direct-sales brand like Canyon is the savings from not having bike shops and distributors are big savings are passed onto the consumer. In the case of the Aeroad, that means a starting price of £2,449 for the entry-level bike in the range. It's the same frame, carved in the wind tunnel, with an Ultegra groupset and Reynolds Strike wheels.
Read our review to find out what we thought of Canyon's aero race bike and here's a look at the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX & Aeroad CF SLX the team was using in the Tour de France.
Cannondale SystemSix Carbon Ultegra 2019 — £4,000
Cannondale claims the SystemSix, the team bike of Education First, is the world's fastest UCI-legal road bike. But the top model, with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 components, Cannondale's own HollowGram deep-section carbon wheels and Power2Max NG Eco power meter cranks, will cost you £8,500.
Inevitably, there's an Ultegra-equipped incarnation at a price that won't scare the bank manager quite as much.

Trek Madone SL 6 Disc 2020 — £3,900
Trek offers its team a choice of three bikes (Domane, Emonda and Madone) and there's a big range of models for the public, including this new version of the aero Madone. Like other Madones it has Trek's comfort-enhancing IsoSpeed decoupler, though it's not the same adjustable variant as the the other new Madones. This Madone shares a similar frame design to the ones used in the Tour, but it swaps out the expensive 700 Series OCLV for 500 Series OCLV, which makes a big impact on the price.
Our Mat was very impressed with the SL6's predecessor, the Madone 9.0. He described it as a "stunningly good bike" and he's not want to hand out that sort of praise easily. You can read his review here.
If you're more interested in a light bike for zooming up hills, take a look at the Emonda SL 5 currently on special at £1,295. It's the cheapest carbon fibre bike in the Emonda range, but it's still no slouch, with a frame that weighs 1,880g including headset, fork and seatmast and many of the key details of the more expensive bikes like internal cable routing, a tapered head tube, Ride Tuned seatmast and a full carbon fibre fork.
Read our review of the Trek Emonda SL5
Giant TCR Advanced SL 2 2020 — £3,699
Giant revamped its TCR Advanced SL for 2017 and it's the bike the likes of Greg Van Avermaet are currently riding for Team CCC. The TCR Advanced SL has been a staple of Giant's range of a long time now, and the changes have concentrated on producing a frame with a class-leading stiffness-to-weight ratio. In this SL range are three models, this is the most affordable and it uses the same Advanced SL-Grade Composite frame and fork with an Ultegra groupset keeping the price down, compared to the range-topping Advanced SL 0, which is about as close as you can get to a replica race bike.
The TCR Advanced range does offer some less expensive deals if you're on a tight budget, with the TCR Advanced 3 priced at £1,399 and built from Giant's own Advanced-Grade Composite carbon with a similar frame design, but a more conventional seatpost, and a Tiagra groupset.
Read our review of the Giant TCR Advanced SL 2
*Relative to the actual bikes the pros race, that is. We know that these aren't cheap.

David Noble, Bluewater, Interviews David Tyler, Artemis Racing at Red Bull Youth America's Cup
David Noble, Bluewater's Head of PR and Communications, interviews David Tyler, Artemis Racing Commercial Director at the Red Bull Youth America's Cup. Bluewater supported the Swedish challenge youth team in the Red Bull Youth America's Cup.
David Noble: Hi there, I'm with David Tyler, early in the morning just before the America's Cup sailings get underway. It's a great delight being here. We're really proud and pleased, and honoured actually to have been able to have got involved with Artemis Racing. Tell us something about how you've been using the rainwater that you've harvested and cleaned using our technologies at Bluewater, David.
David Tyler: Absolutely, yes. So we're here in our public village in the America's Cup. We have our Bluewater Oasis here which is a water dispenser for the public who come into the site. As David mentioned before it actually recycles rainwater that can then be used as drinking water. And this is one machine but we also have a number of machines in our base at Morgan's Point but also in our bigger hospitality and team sailing area here today.
David Noble: Tell us David we've also gone in and helped sponsor you with the Artemis Racing youth team which has been doing incredibly well. Tell me something about how important is it to actually have a company like Bluewater come along and put their support behind you.
David Tyler: It's incredibly important for us and for Swedish sailing and for Artemis Racing. The Red Bull Youth America's Cup is a pathway to provide a platform for young guys to have the opportunity to eventually to end up as senior America's Cup sailors. We've seen with Team New Zealand, the skipper of the last team who won it, Team New Zealand, is now helming the New Zealand team in the America's Cup Match. We have guys from Australia and from the Swedish team actually in the Artemis Racing senior team now. And it's a fantastic event and pathway but it wouldn't really happen without support of companies like Bluewater and giving those guys that opportunity to do it. So thank you very much for your support.
David Noble: Well, as I said it's a great honour for us to be here. Tell me something about the kind of response that you've had to the kind of water that you've been drinking. I've noticed that you're holding one of our models there. Well, not surprisingly seeing as I put it in your hand! Anyway, David, tell me what as been the response as there been to the water. It's important to stay hydrated as well isn't it.
David Tyler: Absolutely, we're here in Bermuda. It's incredibly humid and incredibly hot, and it's very important that people stay hydrated when they're here in the village. When the racing has been on, during the big weekend, there's been a huge queue here at the (Bluewater) Oasis itself. Also not just here but inside the building – it's very important for our sailing team to maintain their re-hydration and we use the Bluewater machines both at Morgan's Point and here for the guys out in the water too. Yes it's been a huge success.
David Noble: Thank you very much David it's been a honour for us to be here. Thanks very much, see you around next year.
David Tyler: Thank you.

It was a beautiful afternoon shaping up for the 12.15pm Ocean Magic 2 vessel as we left the harbour with Capt. Gord in the wheelhouse. First Mate Casey, and Naturalist Dan gave an expert presentation of our safety procedures and discussed the possible wildlife to be found in these nutrient rich waters. We saw many sail boats, with sails flying high as we headed east and then north up Haro Strait to find Transient Killer whales reported just off Mayne Island. Given that several family groups of Transient Orca had been seen the two previous days in much the same area, and had been ID as the T 90's, T65's T49's and T30's that many of the Orca seen today on our incredible trip were some of the same animals. These apex predators were zig-zagging all over the place and popping up around pleasure craft that stopped to watch in awe, of these incredible marine mammals. killer whales are the marine mammal hunters, preferring seals, sea lions, porpoise and dolphins and even small whales. On our way back to Victoria we encountered yet another group of Transient Orca off James Island. These Orca were in a playful mood, tail slapping, breaching as they headed south with the sunlight sparking on the water. Our guests on board were thrilled with this encounter and were all smiles when we disembarked at the dock in Victoria. Another great trip with Prince of Whales!

Most of the images on the blog are shot with a 400 mm telephoto lens. Because of our restrictions around wildlife (100+ meters), we use powerful lenses to better share orca activity that passengers see on their trips. Keep in mind this also heavily compresses space between objects. We also crop images for best blog viewing.

Discovering Budapest: 7 things to do in this fantastic city
Discovering Budapest: 7 things to do in this fantastic city
Lying on both banks of the river, the city of Budapest is known as the Pearl of the Danube for good reason. Long admired as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Budapest offers visitors a treasure trove of delights just waiting to be explored. The city itself is actually two cities in one, with Buda occupying the west bank of the Danube, and Pest the east. Both sides are more than worth exploring, so take a look at our top seven things to do in this fantastic city.
1. You can't miss the Hungarian parliament building
Quite literally, you cannot miss this building. Built in 1905, the gigantic site of the Hungarian parliament dominates the skyline on the Pest side of the river. Its mixture of Gothic and Renaissance revivalist architecture looks spectacular both during the day and when it is illuminated at night. You can also take a tour of the inside of the building, but you have to book in advance. Check the parliament's English visitor's page to book.
2. Take a dip
Budapest is famous for its numerous city spas, but Széchenyi Baths is the granddaddy of them all — it is also Europe's biggest medicinal bath. Built in 1919, the baths are over 100 years old and offer 18 geothermal pools, as well as massage and sauna facilities. You can also relax poolside with a beer or a glass of wine, or even taste the natural water that supplies the pools from 1km underground. You can find full details and prices on the English-language Széchenyi baths website.
3. Take a stroll along Fisherman's Bastion
Jutting out of the Buda hillside above the city, the terrace of Fisherman's Bastion (or Halászbástya in Hungarian) provides travellers with a great opportunity for panoramic photos across the Danube towards Pest. The terrace's wonderful architecture makes for a great photo itself, and you can spend a long while exploring all of the hidden corners and platforms, as well as the spectacularly spired Matthias Church nearby. It is also worth revisiting at night when the terrace is illuminated. You can book a private walking tour of the Castle district and Fisherman's Bastion through TripAdvisor. The tour offers hotel pickup and a professional guide, with prices starting at £24.
4. Embrace your inner pinball wizard
For something that is off the traditional tourist trail, head to the Flipper Muzeum to roll back the decades at Europe's first and largest interactive pinball exhibition. The 400-square-metre space contains over 130 pinball machines dating from the end of the 19th century to the present day. You can have a go on almost all of the machines on display, and the good news is they are completely free to play once you have paid the museum's modest HUF 2500 (~£6) entry fee. The museum's website can give you more details on the exhibit, as well as detailed instructions on how to get there.
5. Come face-to-face with the monuments of the past
A trip to Budapest's Memento Park can give you a real glimpse into a bygone era of Hungary's Communist period. Littered around the sprawling open-air museum are hundreds of displaced examples of Communist public art, placed here as a testament to the change that has taken place in Hungary since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989. Among the many statues are the likenesses of well-known Soviet figures such as Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, so you really can stare into the stony eyes of these 20th-century heavyweights. The park is a small distance away from Budapest's city centre. You can get detailed travel instructions from their website.
6. Cross the Danube on Budapest's spectacular bridges
Spanning the Danube from Buda to Pest are a number of impressive bridges, including the green, spired Liberty Bridge and elegant, white Elisabeth Bridge. However, the real standout of Budapest's river crossings is the majestic Chain Bridge. Opened in 1849 and designed by Englishman William Tierney Clark, the bridge was Budapest's first permanent river crossing. Since then, it has become one of Budapest's most iconic structures, growing to symbolise the linking of east and west. As with many of Budapest's buildings, the Chain Bridge is spectacularly lit at night and is well worth a visit after sunset.
7. Visit a ruin pub
No visit to Budapest would be complete without a visit to one of the city's numerous 'ruin pubs'. Roughly 10 years ago, the city underwent a movement that saw many unoccupied or abandoned buildings being converted into low-key pubs, clubs or bars. Popular with both locals and tourists, the pubs come in a range of styles — from sparse, industrial rooms to cluttered chambers full of salvaged furniture. Ruinpubs.com is a website dedicated to the movement, which keeps potential visitors up to date with the latest goings-on, including details of organised ruin-pub crawls around the city.

It's always more fun to DIY. Every week, we'll spare you a trip to the grocery store and show you how to make small batches of great foods at home.
Today: When your next Baba Ganoush craving hits, don't hit the takeout counter -- make some at home instead. Jodi from What's Cooking Good Looking shows us how.
When I see eggplant on a menu, I must order it. Baked, grilled, or breaded, I will take it any which way.
At home, one of my favorite things to do with eggplant is make Baba Ganoush. It makes a great appetizer for a dinner party, and you can make it ahead of time and keep it around for a snack -- the longer it sits, the better it gets. Give me a bowl of that smoky eggplant spread and some toasted pita chips and I am a happy girl.
Here's another eggplant recipe to put a smile on your face: Barbara Kafka's Genius Marinated Eggplant
Baba ganoush is incredibly easy to make: there are only a few ingredients, and you likely already have them on hand. Each time you make this, your eggplants will yield slightly different amounts, so the measurements listed are more of a guideline than a rule. Free to experiment! I love to add a variety of toppings like toasted pine nuts, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes.
Baba Ganoush
Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of dip
5 medium sized eggplants (I used graffiti eggplant)2 tablespoons lemon juice + the zest of 1/2 of a lemon2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 tablespoon tahini1 garlic clove, minced1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped5 leaves of basil, choppedSalt and pepper, to taste1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted (optional)A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Place the wire rack in your over close to the boiler, and pre-heat the broiler on its highest setting. Score the eggplants all around and then place them on a baking sheet directly under the broiler. Broil the eggplants for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning over halfway through. You want them to be totally charred on the outside, and soft on the inside. When they are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.
Once the eggplants have cooled, open them up and scoop out the insides into a colander using a spoon. Allow some of the water to drain and then transfer to a bowl. Mix together with the lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, garlic, salt, and pepper (or combine in a food processor), and adjust seasonings to taste. Garnish with herbs and toasted pine nuts or sesame seeds. Be sure to serve it next to some toasted pita, crackers, or crudités.

Best pals Harry (left) and Chris live together at home and on stage, where their routine typically incorporates comic song. Fresh from singing their lungs out during The Harry and Chris Show 2 at the Edinburgh Fringe (Winner of the Most Imaginative Title Award), Harry took to our Q&A on behalf of the duo, with no small amount of mischief.
DISORDER: What's your elevator pitch?
HARRY: We're a comedy-jazz-rap duo about to set off on a UK tour. Our podcast features a section for pitches, including a dating app based on spoons and meltable fire-door wedges.
What people, places or things inspire you?
H: We get inspiration from our respective fields. Hollie McNish and Kate Tempest are currently smashing it poetry-wise. (Insert something jazzy Chris would like here). We also inspire each other to hilarity on a daily basis. I recently made Chris laugh so much he spat cookies in my face, which I'm really proud of. Chris likes to do nice things like leave the milk out and clog up plugs with his chest hair. I sometimes like to passive-aggressively bring this up in interviews.
What artists turn you on?
H: I recently saw Pecs, an all-female drag king collective with a backing track heavily featuring Justin Timberlake. I'm still recovering. I had a similar experience watching Christine and the Queens. There's something about watching someone who feels fully comfortable within themselves that I find really exciting.
"CHRIS": Harry, for comparable reasons.
Who do you want to be when you grow up?
H: We've written at least two songs about this, so hopefully we can squeeze a couple more out before we make a decision. I think Chris is still holding out for his door wedges idea to make it big, but I'm content with travelling round the country with my best mate playing songs that make us laugh.
What got you started (the secret of your success)?
H: We went to school together! We were both in bands doing covers of our favourite rock/rap tunes. We also shared a love for Flight of the Conchords, which still influences what we do now in some way.
What has been the biggest surprise along the way?
H: How much you can bring the best out of each other. We both do a lot of solo stuff. Our first show felt like a bit of a mash-up of that, whereas the second feels like we've hit our stride after writing together from the start. We've pushed each other in ways we might not have managed by ourselves.
What's your worst trait?
H: Sometimes after about a week of standing in shower residue up to my shins, I'll lose the flatmate endurance test and buy something to unblock the drain, telling myself that it's a nice thing to do and that I won't bring it up in the future unprovoked. Three handfuls of gunk later and my goodwill really runs thin, which is something I should probably work on.
"C": After pouring a glass of milk, and instead of very reasonably placing it back in the fridge, I will leave the bottle on the table like some kind of still-life sculpture.
What would you most like to change in the world?
H: I'd like people to interact and listen to each other more. So much hatred and fear and division seems to come from misinformation that could be overcome by talking. I'll be honest; it's really hard to make a genuine point here without sounding like I'm hinting at milk again.
What talent do you wish you had?
H: I wish I could speak Arabic. I just texted Chris this question and he said "Q&A repelling power", so maybe it's better that I handle this.
What is your dominant characteristic?
H: Chris is quite physically powerful and sometimes wakes up in a very cuddly mood, which I've learnt to not resist as it makes him sad. I'm relentlessly optimistic.
What do you appreciate most in your friends?
H: Trust – whether it's the way Chris's eyes light up when I start to tell a joke, or being given complete control over occasional interview questions.
"C": I really appreciate that time Harry unblocked the drain, even if I never explicitly told him this.
How/for what do you want to be remembered?
H: Hopefully making the world a brighter place than when we started. Oh, and the legendary Q&A we did for Disorder that one time.
Unpaid endorsement: what can you recommend?
H: Old Spike Coffee! They're a social enterprise in Peckham that work with the homeless and make amazing coffee.

Practicum Opportunities: Clinical-School-Counseling Psychology Training Program
The Counseling Center's training program for doctoral practicum students in JMU's Psy.D. program is intended to assist students in their ongoing development as psychologists. The practicum rotation experience at the Counseling Center emphasizes the development of short-term therapy skills in individual and group counseling experiences. The practicum provides an opportunity for students to develop and enhance their counseling skills in a university counseling center setting.
Students wishing to complete a practicum at the Counseling Center must:
- be graduate students in the Psy.D. program at JMU;
- have successfully completed the program's preparatory counseling courses;
- have permission of the program coordinator; and
- obtain their own personal professional liability insurance by the beginning of the practicum experience.
The primary focus of the practicum experience is on the development and enhancement of clinical skills.
Practicum students see 4-5 individual clients per week; co-facilitate a psychoeducational anxiety management group for 1 hour per week; receive one hour of individual supervision and .5 hours group supervision; and are responsible for the maintenance of their clinical notes. Practicum students may elect to co-facilitate outreach programs with other staff members and have the opportunity to attend treatment team meetings with Counseling Center staff several times throughout the semester.
Practicum students are expected to abide by the established policies and procedures of the Counseling Center and the ethical standards of psychologists.

Tim Van Horn & The Canadian Mosaic Project
December 31, 2010 | Filed Under Interview, Personal Project, Photo Studios and Work Spaces, Road Trip
I met up with photographer Tim Van Horn for a coffee today but forgot to bring a mug so I was out of luck. When you live in a small camperized van, room for everything, including extra dishes just isn't there.
I don't know how you'll be celebrating the new year but for Van Horn Jan. 1, 2011 will mark 27 months on the road for the Alberta photographer and he'll celebrate that milestone in Victoria. The 41-year-old photographer has been traveling across the country in his van photographing Canadians, 5000 so far, for his Canadian Mosaic project. His plan is to stay on the road until he captures 25,000 portraits that he will use to create a giant Canadian flag mosaic in time for the country's 150th birthday on July 1, 2017. Van Horn, who has travelled from Newfoundland to Nunavut for his project, expects to spend the next few weeks in the greater Victoria area.
You have to admire Tim as he is doing what so many of us talk about but never get around to actually acting on, hitting the road and just working on a project, taking photographs everyday.
His work can be seen at http://celebratecanada.wordpress.com/.

These apples are supposed to be my afternoon snacks but instead all but one of them wanted to be made into yummy little apple crisps!
Today, while reading one of the blogs I follow, called A Couple Cooks, I ran across a recipe for Honey Almond Apple Crisps in Jars. The recipe had no sugar (honey instead), very little butter (compared to a lot of recipes for crisps) and an interesting addition…grated ginger.
I didn't have any little jars but I had everything else. My plan was to bake it together in a small baking dish…but then I ended up in Target this afternoon and found these cute ramekins that were available in fall colors like red, orange and green and they were only $2.50 for 2! Score!
The recipe fit exactly into my new green ramekins!
I dug in with a glass of cold skim milk on the side. I couldn't eat it all and I think the rest will be really good for breakfast in the morning 🙂
Randolph wants some too!
Mini Honey Almond Apple Crisps
From A Couple Cooks
- 4 apples (about 4½ cups)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup oats
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted or very soft
- 4 small canning jars (or ramekins!)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel, core, and slice the apples into small pieces. Peel the ginger; mince or grate 1 tablespoon. In a large saute pan, mix together apples, ginger, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir in ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar and ⅓ cup honey. Saute until softened, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup oats, ¼ cup slivered almonds, ⅓ cup whole wheat flour, ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ cup honey, 2 tablespoons softened butter.
- Divide the fruit mixture into 4 half-pint wide mouth canning jars or ramekins. Spread the crumble over each jar, pressing down on the crumbs to ensure that none are above the mouth of the jar.
- Place the jars/ramekins on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes until top is brown. Cool for 10 minutes and enjoy.

Certain images are fixed in my mind of the French town of Montpellier. When I think of it, I remember cobblestone streets filled with students and a cheerful energy.
I remember riding a sleek tramway entirely painted with bright, intertwined flowers. And I remember eating one of the most extraordinary meals of my life there at the charming Lozèrois restaurant, Cellier & Morel.
The more I think of it, the more I'm reminded: Montpellier has all the right stuff.
Located on the warm, sunny, southern coast of France, Montpellier is in the Languedoc Roussillon region, happily nestled between the Cévennes mountain range and the Mediterranean Sea. The city is France's 8th largest and fastest-growing, with a population of about 253,000, of which around 70,000 are students.
Home to the first and most famous medical school in France (Nostradamus and Rabelais studied there), Montpellier is known as a university town and embodies all the liveliness and energy you'd expect.
You'll never be short on things to do. In the historic center, the city's wide boulevards are peppered with cafés, restaurants, and bars, and play host to a range of annual cultural events, from flamenco exhibitions to international film festivals to jazz concerts. Art lovers will treasure the city's numerous galleries and museums, including the famous Fabre museum, known for its impressive collection of 17th- to 19th-century European art.
Montpellier is a city in which it's easy to get around without a car. The tramway system is excellent, having four lines (with a fifth one planned for 2017) that snake through the entire city. The bus system, too, is extensive and convenient. And for the environmentally conscious, note that it's also highly bike-friendly, offering more than 90 miles of bike paths throughout the city and even six miles of bike paths that lead directly to the beach.
An Easy Drive to the Coast from Montpellier
Outside of Montpellier, in addition to the sea and the mountains (each about a 30-minute drive away), you've got, well, all of the rest of the South of France to enjoy. The Languedoc is known for having the best-value wines in all of France, and the city is surrounded by rolling hills and tranquil vineyards that are open for exploration and tastings. What's more the classic medieval villages of the South—from Uzès to Pézenas—are within easy driving distance from Montpellier.
It's easy to fit in here. The people of Montpellier are known to be welcoming and friendly.
Housing costs are reasonable compared to other big cities in France. A rental in the historic center, one of the nicest areas, is €15.04 per square meter (or $1.80 per square foot), while buying an apartment in this area averages about €3,063 per square meter (approximately $366 per square foot). Either price gets you a lovely place. Currently on the rental market in the central area of Ecusson, for example, is a beautiful 18th-century apartment with four bedrooms, a fireplace, and hardwood floors for $1,720 per month.
You can get better value for your dollars by looking at nearby areas such as Castelnau le Lez, a small tranquil town on Montpellier's western border. Currently on the market, you can rent a small but comfortable one- or two-bedroom apartment for between $650 and $900 a month. If you're happy to splurge a bit more, for about $2,100 a month, you can rent a large three-bedroom villa with a garden. $2,371 a month will rent you a luxurious five-bedroom villa with five sprawling and tree-filled acres of land, plus a swimming pool.

Trump Gives William Barr Wide Declassification Authority In 'Spying' Probe
Trump through Barr is turning over Intelligence information about our assets in Russia to Putin. And the GOP Senate is going to enable this sedition."President Donald J. Trump directed the intelligence community to quickly and fully cooperate with the Attorney General's investigation into surveillance activities during the 2016 Presidential election," ...
Sanders noted that Trump had also granted "full and complete authority" to Barr to declassify any information necessary related to his investigation.

NEW: President Trump's plan to let adoption agencies reject same-sex parents
First, they came for the transgenders, and I said nothing because I was cis.
The new PM stop will have to deal with the same problems. The people voted to leave the union, they need a hardline on the exit and parliament is not willing to budge.
The next leader could be the shortest serving PM in history. The same problems exist - a minority government, a parliament that cannot find a majority for anything, an urgent need to start a new Parliamentary session but no way of winning the vote. An election is surely going to be called.
No Deal is Better Than A Bad Deal,
Upholding the wishes of the British people, she believed that No deal is better than a bad deal. In fact, she was doing the opposite. This is how political leaders mislead people. More so, she allowed the situation to rot to such an extent that she was prepared to see the Tory Party destroyed in the knowledge that the Conservative Party is the only party fit to rule the country. She signed her own deal with Brussels in November 2018. The same deal was presented 3 times in Parliament and it was rejected 3 times. She still wants to present it again hoping she would be 4th time lucky. She is behaving exactly in the same as those Remainer Extremists who want to overthrow the will of the British people, those extremists who want another referendum in the hope that they may have their own way. If not, they would want a 3rd referendum and a 4th. This is putting the very unity of the United Kingdom in great peril with First Minister Nichola Sturgeon ready to pounce.
No Deal Brexit will be a disaster of epic proportions.

My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.
It was on this date in 2015 that "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" had a profile of Randy Rives profiled Norman McAllister, whose legislative record was not the focus of our profile, as much as his arrest for sexually assaulting two women in a sex-for-rent scheme. One of the victims was believed to be an underage girl who worked as an intern for in the state capitol, and another was encouraged to have sex with some of the workers on his farm, with the incentive being that her rent would get even cheaper. For lack of a better term, Norman is scum, and the Vermont State Senate suspended him from the chamber in a 20-10 vote and will not be permitted to return unless the charges against him are dismissed (you're reading this right, the GOP have not disowned him, and he did not resign). McAllister was eventually found guilty, though, is currently looking at a seven year prison sentence, and will have to register as a sex offender, which makes it pretty unlikely that he'll be mounting a political comeback.
In both 2016, 2017, as well as 2018, "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" presented profiles of former Illinois State Senator Kyle McCarter, who was originally appointed to office in 2009, and served three terms in office, winning re-election in 2014 by having the benefit of running unopposed. We've had him floating around our queue for quite some time now, starting around the time that we read about McCarter claiming he was punched in the chest by a Democratic State Senator back in 2011. The accused senator, Mike Jacobs, responded to the accusation by saying of McCarter, "I would say the senator is full of s***." And considering no charges were ever filed, no video proof of this event in the Senate chamber seems to have come out of it, we would tend to agree. Then again, we know how the rest of this profile reads, and how Jacobs may have been understating McCarter's… shall we say philosophical constipation. In his time in office, McCarter has appeared in the news cycle several times, most frequently because of his irrationally extreme opposition to LGBT rights. In October of 2011, not four months removed from his heated debate with Jacobs, McCarter submitted a bill to try to allow Catholic adoption agencies to refuse to place children in households with same sex parents, because he apparently thinks a child continuing to be an orphan is better than having two parents of the same gender. He's also blocked anti-bullying legislation because it would protect LGBT students in public schools from being harassed and voted against a ban on gay conversion therapy on minors (even though the practice is considered a human rights violation by some) in the Illinois legislature. But on Valentine's Day in 2013, Kyle McCarter truly became worthy of our attention. In the wake of the Illinois State Senate voting 34-21 to legalize same sex marriage, despite of McCarter's ridiculous protests that doing so would force local flower shops and "marriage-related" businesses to close down (when in fact, if they were tolerant and accommodated gay couples, their business would soar),McCarter took to Facebook to seethe about the great majority of the chamber deciding it was time for marriage equality, writing, "To redefine marriage is discriminatory towards those who hold the sincerely held religious belief that it is a sacred institution between a man & a woman." That's right… LGBTQ couples being allowed to marry is discriminatory towards McCarter and all his straight pals. Or at least, he says it is, because he's got things as backwards as they could ever possibly be. He spent the next year attempting to repeal the law, before finally giving up. Mind you, giving up still means he's been trying to defend his "religious freedom" from "discrimination" by sponsoring the same sorts of "religious freedom" laws seen in Indiana and North Carolina (that have worked out so well for those states' local economies). On other issues, McCarter says he is "pro-life without apologies", and supports the potentially disastrous idea of establishing a flat tax. McCarter also has voted against raising the minimum wage in Illinois during the greatest period of income inequality in the United States in almost a century. Kyle McCarter grew ambitious enough in this past election cycle to challenge U.S. House Rep. John Shimkus and see if he couldn't inject some fresh, even somehow-even-more-conservative blood into the Republican-controlled House. McCarter relentlessly attacked Shimkus on his broken promise, long ago to only serve three terms in Congress, and now he's on his eleventh term, citing his own dedication to that issue by saying he would not be running for office again in the 2018 midterms for a fourth term for his Illinois State Senate seat. He lost to the veteran climate-change denier, Shimkus, by over twenty points in the 2016 GOP Primary. McCarter did not file for re-election by the deadline or the 2018 elections, but as we feared, in spite of his rampant homophobia, the Trump administration has nominated him to be Ambassador to Kenya, because of course they found employment for this bigoted ****stain. We're going to go ahead and set aside his profile at this time and go ahead and take a look at a different kooky Republican today instead. (Current crazy/stupid scoreboard, is now 754-40, since this was established in July 2014.)
Peter Boykin
Welcome to the 754th original "Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day" profile, where today we'll be taking a look at Peter Boykin, a 2018 candidate for District 58 in the North Carolina House of Representatives. Our first and most definitive evidene that Boykin might be a wee bit unbalanced is that he is a former webcam model paid to masturbate for money, is the founder of "Gays for Trump", and is, of course, showing his support for white nationalism in the above photo. There's also the fact that Boykin is so LGBTQ-friendly that he defends Mike Pence's record on LGBTQ rights, calls transgender troops in the U.S. military "mentally challenged", called for the "T" to be removed from LGBTQ, and warned that transgender military service members would use their service weapons to slaughter their fellow soldiers:
We'll also add that Boykin has been an emcee for an Anti-Muslim hate group, Act for America, at events in North Carolina to fear-monger about Islam, where he gave big shout-outs to the white supremacist groups Identity Evropa and the milita group, the Oath Keepers, and the Soldiers of Odin (another organization the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as a hate group).
Peter Boykin was crushed by over 50 points by Amos Quick, the Democratic incumbent in the 2018 elections. His candidacy will hopefully be the end of his fifteen minutes of fame, but we're not going to be shocked if he's dragged on Fox News when Donald Trump says something homophobic during the 2020 election campaign.

The Trumpification Of The IRS
**********The Internal Revenue Service is starting to look like the partisan tool that Republicans accused it of being during the Barack Obama administration.
The Donald Trump administration has assumed more control than its predecessors over how the agency writes tax regulations, ordered unpaid IRS workers to process tax refunds during the government shutdown, intervened to block Democrats request for the presidents tax returns, and, as we learned this week, buried a staff memo outlining how the agency should respond to such requests.

What is a Conventional/Centrifugal Juicer?
Centrifugal juicers work by using a flat cutting blade on the bottom of a rapidly spinning strainer. The cut produce is forced against the juicing strainer through the use of centrifugal force. This force separates the juice from the pulp through the tiny holes in the juicing strainer.
While still hugely popular these juicers do have their downfalls. They are noisy, the high spinning speed creates a lot of heat that destroys vital nutrients and they clog often throughout the juicing process so continuous juicing is not possible. Probably the greatest fall back of a centrifugal juicer is the effort required to clean these machines. The strainers are huge and can be a real pain to clean, they can't do wheatgrass or leafy green vegetables and as the pulp builds up in the strainers the efficiency falls rapidly. The process also involves drawing a lot of air into the machine, which oxygenates the fruit and vegetables and therefore produces a 'dying' juice.
This is probably why so many good intentions fall by the wayside as the effort starts to outweigh the rewards.
Vitality 4 Life has pioneered the new fleet of [storelink id="kitchen-appliances/cold-press-electric-juicers" keyword="Healthy Juicers into the UK"]. These new juicers are not centrifugal but "Masticating" and work by crushing/chewing the produce instead of cutting it. They have been proven to produce not only more juice but also a higher quality of juice with more of the vital nutrients and enzymes intact. We call this "Living Juice" and this is one of the main reasons so many health nuts and raw foodists have started raving about them.
So what juicers does Vitality 4 Life recommend?
In our experience any juicer is better than none and definitely better than pre-packaged juice, but if you want a juicer that is easy to clean and gives you more juice for your money then choose a "Masticating" or "Cold Press" Juicer.
For the general family:
A reasonably priced juicers that is easy to clean and the whole family can use.
For the health inclined:
The best single gear juicer you can buy.

The department of Maipú is located 15km (9mi) far from Mendoza city. It has 717 km2 in size and 750m.a.s.l. in altitude. In 1858, it was created by decree by Governor Juan Cornelio Moyano who received from the Capitanía General de Chile the land known by the Huarpes as Tiasta. There, he established a ranch. When he died, it became property of Captain Don José Moyano Cabral. In this area, the Jesuits built the Barrancas and Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes de la Cruz de Piedra chapels. Scattered in the setting of Cruz de Piedra, 38 families became the pioneers and colonizers of this region.
The Huarpes, peaceable and hard-working indigenous people, were undoubtedly the natural product of Cuyo land. They worshipped a god named Hunuc Huar, the Sun, the Moon and the Hills. They spoke in Milcayac, lived in shacks and worked the land. The corn cultivation was their main activity.
They made the most of the places with water. This made easy to develop fishing and make use of the water for their survival. As Cuyo was discovered and conquered, some people were obliged to pay taxes and others, most of them, left their homes and travelled to the south, where they still were, for a time, their own land owners.
Later, the Spanish immigrants created an emerging agricultural settlement where wheat, olive, fig and pear trees, some vines and many other plants, as well as corn and fodder, which were brought from Spain, grew well.
The struggle for the water, in an oasis like Mendoza, would finish in the middle of our century, by deploying waterproofed canals and branch drains.
In Maipú, there are very old buildings such as Trapiche winery, property of Tiburcio Benegas as far back as 1887, Baquero winery, Toso winery, López winery, founded in 1898 and still owned by the family, and Nerviani winery, among others.
In 1889, Felipe Rutini planted the first Italian and French Sangiovesse Poccolo, Trobbiano, Fiorentino, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec stumps. He also built the winery and the family house which is nowadays known as Rutini Wines, La Rural. At present, there are 167 wineries in Maipú, out of which 28 may be visited since they are opened for tourists.
This department holds a great variety of companies mostly set in an industrial area where they have all the services in place and a strategic location as it is near the bioceanic corridor which connects Chilean and Atlantic port through 7 and 40 national routes, railroads and the international airport.
In every district, Maipú offers interesting places to visit: wineries, vineyards, campsites, museums, rural touristic activities, with gastronomical services and rural and urban lodging. You can enjoy them if you go through the two circuits which make up the Wine and the Olive Route.
Thanks to a famous religious tourism, you can visit century-old buildings of amazing architectural styles which give mysticism to an urban life granted to religious worship and decorate remote areas in a splendid way. Barrancas chapel, María Auxiliadora sanctuary or Lunlunta church represent a real part of the landscape, legendary scenes of coexistence and spiritual retreats.
In its traditional touristic circuit, Maipú offers the opportunity to taste typical regional food in a magical environment, an ingredient which must be present to be delighted with its unalterable tradition, a mixture of immigratory influence and genuine creativity.
Fine dining in wineries´ restaurants, grillrooms and eateries served with the warmth of their owners, is part of the agenda inviting tourists to be delighted with the most delicious typical recipes, always married with the best wine. Fine dining in Familia Zuccardi´s restaurant and Terruño Restó Club Tapiz is highly recommended.
Maipú is ideal for olive cultivation. It holds some of the most ancient plantations in the country. This natural wealth enables to offer the best varieties of olive oil, olive paste and other delicious products from the land. You can visit olive oil factories such as Laur and Pazrai, among others.
At present, Arena Maipú center constitutes another appeal of this department, which holds a 4* hotel, premium cinema movie theatre, casino, night club, several restaurants and a stadium where concerts and shows take place almost permanently.
Every single aspect turns Maipú into an extremely complete department, with a well-developed economic, commercial and agribusiness area, together with different touristic attractions created to offer the best service.

Before departing for Europe, I spent weeks bracing myself for traveling with my parents.
After an 8-hour flight, a 1-hour layover in Frankfurt, and another 3-hour flight, we arrived in Venice. My elation at finally being able to get the hell away from the 500 crying babies were quickly abolished by my parents' faces. They were gearing up for crazy.
Upon stepping into the airport, they were on a mission and they were determined to take the most stressful, and longest route in order to accomplish it.
We had four goals before we could start our vacation, in no particular order:
- find an ATM
- call the guy for keys to the apartment
- buy a bus/boat pass
- get bathroom tokens
The bus/boat pass was obtained easily enough—and when I mean easily, I'm saying an hour's worth of wandering in the airport, asking the information desk, going outside to try out an automatic machine (why this would work when we don't speak Italian is lost to me), and then going back to purchase the tickets at the information desk.
Only then were we able to start heading towards Venice via a 30-minute bus ride.
buy a bus/boat pass: accomplished. Time taken: .5 hours.
While they were buying the bus/boat pass, they were also trying to figure out how we were going to call the guy. But, mistakenly (?), they decided to think about that after getting the passes and arriving at the city.
So, 30 minutes later, tired, hungry, and cranky, we arrived at what seemed like a giant ticket booth entrance to the city.
"Ok. Here, we're going to get bathroom tokens," my mom stated, like an army general. "After that, we need to figure out how to call the guy."
They took care of the bathroom tokens while my brother and I sat there, sweaty, and dehydrated. This was a mistake.
bathroom tokens: accomplished. Time taken: .5 hours
My parents are the type of people who get visibly and verbally upset when they feel frantic and others don't. They are under the impression that four frantic people are better than two frantic and two calm people, whereas I believe at least one person should stay sane. So when it came time to find any phone we could use to call the guy and they saw us walking around calmly, even the fact that we were all in Venice couldn't pacify them.
"Kids! We are a team here! Why can't you help us right now?" my mom asked, shrilly. I swear, we were walking out of an information office as she said that.
We found a pay phone and learned that US credit cards don't work the pay phone, so we traipsed over to the other side of the street to try and use a bar phone, which couldn't be done either.
By this time, we had walked about 5 miles in the 1-mile-radius area, the only thing accomplished was getting even hungrier—damn cheap airlines—hotter, and more upset. We couldn't even purchase food because we didn't have money yet.
So, finding the ATM was promoted to first priority.
That's easy enough, I thought. ATMs must be all over the place!
We needed a specific ATM. One deep within the streets of Venice.
It was like a pilgrimage through streets paved with sins—food, drinks, dinky souvenirs. Having never been to Europe, their city layout was completely foreign to us. We didn't even know where the street signs were.
"We're all tired, ok? Stop complaining and help us find it!"
As my brother and I were about to expire, we happened upon THE ATM.
"Oh, thank god. Get me a drink," I said, as we ran to the nearest take-away restaurant.
obnoxiously-specific ATM: accomplished. Time taken: 3 hours.
As we sat and ate like Aladdin and Abu on the street corner, we dreaded each bite that would lead us back into my parents' frantic world.
My dad struggled with the phone, and when he figured it out, he struggled even more.
As he hung up, he looks up to ask us, "So, did everyone hear that?"
We stared blankly back at him.
"You guys were supposed to be helping me listen!" he explained, clearly getting frustrated.
"How would we know that…" my mom asked, speaking slowly.
"Did you think I'd be able to remember it myself?!"
"I think that's not too much to ask from a grown man," I muttered.
Angry, that no one was able to read his mind, he punched the phone numbers in and dialed again.
An hour later, we let ourselves into our apartment.
key to apartment: accomplished. Time taken: 2 hours.
"Why are you drinking again??"

text: We had a blast this past holiday season. We spent Christmas at my sister Ruby's house. It was nice because all of my family was at the table for some vietnamese style hot pot dinner. I do try and enjoy these yearly gatherings as much as possible because I know that it can't last. My wife and I had to dash over to Sid's house then to Ninang May's house. It was tough driving around in the eve of Christmas and I think I would have rather stayed in one place that night - my sister's house. During New Years, we hosted it at our new house. We had help from Ate Marlene and I'm so grateful for that because I didn't want my wife to get overworked. I did try to help as much as I could in the kitchen but having Ate Marlene around for the food preparation was paramount. Couldn't have done it without her. We had a lot of fun dancing and singing until the countdown. It was the biggest turnout for a long time and we are glad. Nice to start 2008 with family and friends.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
are top notch especially that of Morgan Freeman:). This movie is favourite among a lot of users and hence no doubt this movie is No. 1 in Imdb:).This movie not winning any Oscars is probably one of the biggest shocks.

My Rating:-
The Green Mile (1999)
The Green Mile is a superb movie and a must watch if you like prison movies:). Here,The lives of guards on Death Row are affected by one of their charges: a black man accused of child murder and rape, yet who has a mysterious gift.
Everything about The Green Mile is superb. From direction to performances, the movie keeps you engaged and makes you feel for the characters.Tom Hanks is superb as Paul and also performance of Michael Clarke Duncan is worth mentioning:).It's a very well made prison drama.

The Great Escape is a superbly executed prison break movie:). Based on a true story,here, a group of allied escape artist type prisoners of war are all put in an 'escape proof' camp. Their leader decides to try to take out several hundred all at once. The first half of the film is played for comedy as the prisoners mostly outwit their jailers to dig the escape tunnel:). The second half is high adventure as they use boats and trains and planes to get out of occupied Europe:).
