On September 28th 2015, Kenneth passed away peacefully at his home in Newbury, aged 79 years. He will be sadly missed by all family and friends. Funeral Service to be held at St Johns Church, Newbury, on Tuesday October 13th, at 2.30pm.

The eulogies below were delivered at Ken's funeral service; the first written by Ken's children, Angus and Claire, with help from his older brother Jim, also a Morgan FP, the second by Peter Sankey with comments from brother Jim again and Malcolm Franks all AWE
(Atomic Weapons Establishment)
colleagues of Kens at some stage or another).
Dad was born in a place called Narayangunj, in what is now Bangladesh.
His first eight years, apart from a year in Dundee just before World War II, were spent in various homes in Narayangunj, Chandpur and Northbrook Mill, on the River Hoogly, North of Calcutta, while his father was engaged in buying jute and managing jute mills.
It was an idyllic, if slightly confined life with occasional parties and visits to neighbouring families and also latterly to Calcutta.
While his older brother Jim was at boarding school in Darjeeling, Dad started to educate himself with help from his parents and a ten volume edition of Arthur Mees Childrens Encyclopaedia. For some reason, he took a particular interest in whales and used to lecture the family on these and other subjects his father affectionately christened him the Professor. By regular chats with the family servants he also made himself bilingual in Hindi and English.
On return to post-war Dundee, he attended the Morgan Academy in Dundee. Dad was regularly top of his class, winning the intermediate Dux medal and later becoming School captain and winning the senior Dux medal.
On the sporting side, he was captain of the rugby team, driving it to varying degrees of success against other schools in the area. A more surprising sporting achievement was winning the mile race at the annual school sports day in the (by far) record slowest time! Apparently the runners agreed that racing for a mile required far too much effort, so they decided to jog for the first three laps and only start properly competing when the bell sounded for the last lap; Dad won by a whisker from Ron Henderson, who also went on to a distinguished scientific career.
At university (Queens College, Dundee, part of the University of St Andrews) Dad followed the Pure Science courses, covering maths, physics and chemistry and latterly specialising in Chemistry (lst Class Honours) in his fourth and final year. He would often tell us how his father sold the office safe to pay for one of his Advanced Chemistry textbooks a book he had kept to this day.
After University, Dad then joined the Chemistry Division at AWRE, enjoying the rigours of accommodation at Grazeley Green Residential Club, of blessed memory, moving up after a years penance to the comparative luxury of Boundary Hall. It was at Boundary Hall that he designed and made a magnificent reflecting telescope, grinding the lenses in his room and making the other components with the help of a colleague, living on the Tadley estate, who had converted his shed into an impressive engineering workshop. Designed also to act as a hyper-telephoto lens for his Wrayflex camera, the telescope helped to photograph numerous ultra-close-ups, and later appeared in a talk given to the Newbury astronomical society.
In 1973 he and Mum married in Rayleigh, Essex, and in 1975, and 1978, Angus and I joined the family. As a father and husband he was the rock we all relied upon; a loving, consistent and reliable presence: always ready to sit patiently with us to help with homework, despair of our lack of interest in the sciences and entertain us with his encyclopaedic knowledge of almost anything (never more apparent than during a family game of scrabble or filling in the gaps of the Telegraph crossword). I always said that he would obviously be the friend I would phone if I ever appeared on a TV quiz show.
He was also the unofficial family photographer, often seen prowling about in the background of family events trying to get the best natural shot of everyone. This gift has left us with hundreds if not thousands of happy family photographic memories for us to treasure. It also gave Claire a sixth sense about the presence of a camera lens and an impressive ability to avoid appearing in unwanted snaps.
Of course, any talk of Dads hobbies would not be complete without speaking about his love of carpentry. On retirement, he practically filled his double garage with sophisticated woodworking tools and started a new career in the design and construction of exquisite items of furniture; desks, tables and chairs emerging from the garage/workshop at regular intervals. I feel utterly privileged to be surrounded by so many of his beautiful creations in my own home, and I know many of you here will also have benefitted from his great talent in this respect. All of these interests and pursuits show his indefatigable enthusiasm for life, its opportunities and challenges: that enthusiasm and clear-sighted interest in understanding how things are and why will always be a source of inspiration.
Dad was the best of men. Reading through the hundreds of cards weve received since his passing, it has really struck us all just how well respected and liked he was amongst everyone who knew him. Described as an institution and one of lifes true gentlemen, his wit, humour and presence will be sorely missed.
In the early days, in Frank Morgans group at AWRE , Ken worked on a wide range of chemical projects, including tritium and the microscopic identification of fallout particles from weapon tests. After a few years, he persuaded his superiors to support an MSc research project to get an accurate measure of the half-life of tritium, supervised by an academic from Dundee University. When successfully completed, a poetic Dundee neighbour was inspired to verse:
A writer of theses called Ken
Remarked as he laid down his pen,
How exceedingly odd
That not even God
Can perplex us with that one again!
Ken was appointed Superintendent Weapons Chemistry in 1974 with a very wide range of responsibility from analysis of explosives to radio chemistry including what was known by the uninitiated as the Funny Wing of B8A.
If you know what they did, dont tell; if you dont know, dont ask! They liked to consider themselves the cloak and dagger boys! Of particular note was the development, under his guidance, of equipment to detect leaks of liquid rocket propellants which was critical to the CHEVALINE programme and subsequently deployed on RN submarines.
Those old enough to remember the old grades at AWRE will note that Kens advancement from Scientific Officer in 1958 to Superintendent in 1974 can only be described as meteoric!
In 1977, the next stage in his career was attendance at a year long Senior Staff Defence Course at the Royal College of Defence Studies, Greenwich.
Ken found the course very broadening and stimulating, including a flight in a Harrier, which he later described as fun.
A transfer to the Assistant Chief Scientific Adviser (Nuclear) in London, as Director, Science (Nuclear), was followed by a move to Washington in 1979 for a two year posting as Head of the Atomic Coordination Office in the British Embassy.
Ken enjoyed his wide responsibilities for contacts with the US weapon laboratories and other establishments.
Nancy, Claire and Angus enjoyed living in the elegant suburb of McLean.
Angus even managed to pick up an American accent.
Returning to Aldermaston in 1981, Ken was appointed to be Head of the Metallurgy Division soon to be followed by another promotion to Deputy Director, Materials with responsibility for the three Materials Divisions. In 1988 he was promoted to deputy Director gaining, in addition to the above duties, responsibility for the technical programmes at Burghfield and Cardiff.
For a short period, as AWE transitioned from being an MOD establishment to a GOCO (Govenment-Owned, Contractor-Operated) Ken was Acting Director, Managing Director in modern parlance, and thereafter supported the new management team as Chief Scientist and Deputy MD.
As Chief Scientist, Ken had oversight of all the scientific work at Aldermaston and, of particular importance, the activities to ensure the safety of UK nuclear weapons.
About this time, Ken attended a computer hands on course introducing a new business software tool. After 15 minutes of instruction and exercise on his own dedicated PC, Ken politely asked which was the return key on the machine? Thereafter, Ken concentrated on the intent of the software, aided by one of the trainers whose role was to press the appropriate buttons! IT was not for Ken. After retirement, the tentacles of the Aldermaston/MOD octopus kept a firm hold on Ken and about five years ago I asked Ken if he would consider acting as expert witness in the judicial enquiry into the health-related claims of veterans who took part in the weapons trials in the Pacific. Thankfully, he accepted as I firmly believed he was the only person in the world who could carry out the task. The ensuing documents for this, in a dozen wine-box-sized containers, accumulated in Kens house as the enquiry proceeded. Ken rather enjoyed preparing technical briefs for the lawyers and also shooting down opposing arguments.
Id like to give you a few comments from the MoD lawyer Adam Heppinstall. Ken was, by far, the best and most committed expert I have ever worked with and he is utterly irreplaceable. It was not only his professional input which kept the case going but also his incredible warmth and drive. He will be very sadly missed. We spoke most weeks and he would send me beautifully crafted hand written (remember the IT story!) updates (and pieces of Ciceronian drama and parody). We are very much poorer without his incredible intelligence, insight, wit and energy.
Most recently, Ken took part in the making of a BBC4 documentary, which will be broadcast next year, on the early years of the UK nuclear weapons programme. The Director described Ken as the star of the show and said that he could have been a film star if he had chosen a different career.
To close, a few words from his AWE and US colleagues.
Ken always had time to talk to you, he never pulled rank.
He was a key player in the UK/US relationship and he was a true gentleman. He was well known for his knowledge and contributions to nuclear warhead safety.
He was noted for his keen mind, clarity of thought and ability to translate complex problems into a brief but completely accurate message.
Ken was brilliant and a gentleman at heart.

I am a hoarder of tarot decks. I generally use only the Wildwood to read but I just cannot stop myself from bringing home any deck with artwork that catches my eye. This time it was the husband who surprised me, bringing me back a deck from his travels.
Usually he is the one giving me the eye when I bring home yet another to sit and look pretty, so I was quite delighted. It came wrapped in brown paper with a hand inked drawing of a lizard on the front which endeared me immediately because it gave a crafted feel that a mass produced box just doesn't have.
The Hirajeta Tarot by Danny Hirajeta is a 78-card deck from a local-ish artist in Fayetteville, NC that portrays what the artist describes as "life's gritty nature". This comes across beautifully and the artwork is sublime. I laid out my favorites and above is a shot of the numbered suit cards. I am in love with the Emperor and Empress cards from the Major Arcana, although the Queen of Wands is gorgeous as well.

Third party intervention of the Commissioner before the Court of Human Rights – On 25 April 2017, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Nils Muiznieks, published his written observations concerning 34 cases related to events which have occurred since August 2015 in the context of counter-terrorism operations and curfews in South-Eastern Turkey. In his conclusions, the Commissioner notes: 'there are clear indications that human rights defenders working on the human rights situation in South-Eastern Turkey during the curfews and counter-terrorism operations and assisting alleged victims in seeking justice have been subjected to various forms of reprisals and intimidation in retaliation for their legitimate activities'.

text: You might notice a giant blossom on Stephanie Nielson's shirt. You might almost notice that it disappeared in the cover photo. (Scroll down to see the cover.) After taking a few shots with the flower, we plucked it so the attention would go straight to NieNie's face — especially her eyes. Kenneth Linge fell in photographic love with NieNie's eyeballs. Between takes he explained to her that eyes reveal emotion and reflect light (both key ingredients to a great photo). Stephanie's eyes tell the story when it comes to the photographs, but MY eyes also told me a lot about her. Here's what I saw … I snapped this photo with my phone (sorry for the poor quality), but I loved seeing Stephanie's stacks of books on either side of the piano bench. She also had them fanned out under the tree — classic books like "Little Women." I also saw a wooden high chair near the family table. And I noticed a box containing copies of the Book of Mormon between the couch and the dining table. When NieNie says it's her favorite book, I believe her. I also saw two friendly faces come to her door. During the interview, Stephanie's sister-in-law Megan stopped by. And a pregnant sister Lucy popped in during the photo shoot. When she heard we were doing a cover story for Utah Valley Magazine, she said, "That Stephanie!" Stephanie didn't have to tell me she was sincere on her blog. I saw with my own eyeballs (aka reflectors of light) that love and friendships are everyday happenings in her offline life. "Utah in general is a very caring community," Stephanie says. "When I go to Target, I see women who would do anything for anybody. We as women need to embrace that and stop feeling like we have to do everything ourselves. We've been given people in our lives who can help us." For Stephanie, one of those "people" is Courtney. Known as "C. Jane" in the blogging world, Courtney is Stephanie's neighbor and the second mother to her children."She's always the backup," Stephanie says. "And I couldn't be more grateful for that." One last photo for today … This snapshot gives you a glimpse of Stephanie's hallway. At the end is the pre-crash family photo that Stephanie and the other mother looked at during the Oprah episode. If you look really hard, you can also see the initials of the six Nielsons displayed vertically. I love how each individual is acknowledged and represented in this household. In other words, I think Stephanie is The Bee's Nies. Come back tomorrow and read a handful of quotes that didn't make it into the Utah Valley Magazine article.

Let's look beyond the memes for a second. Beyond crafting the viral hit "Ultimate," which became the soundtrack to the infamous #BottleFlipChallenge on Vine, Denzel Curry is a wildly talented emcee. His rambunctious one-two punch of blazing fast machine gun raps over hazy, synth-drenched instrumentals has won the admiration of thousands, including Young Thug, Rick Ross and Joey Bada$$. He even collaborated with the latter two. Curry is bringing it to Vinyl Nov. 10 for his Black Metal Terrorist tour, but first, he chats with us about his success, working with his favorite artists and staying independent.
You're a bit different: You're a XXL Freshman, you dropped three albums at 21 and you've amassed a large following. Why do you choose to stay independent?
Early on, I realized that I could do most of this myself, get funds for myself, create most of this myself—then I'll have something to bring to the table when I do sign to somebody. I really value my creative rights, my freedom and not being tied down to anything. It all goes back to knowing what I want to do. I've got a craving that's entirely mine. I want to keep that. I feel a lot of people lose sight of that when they get signed, and that's awful. I'm not about that.
Your releases have been free up to this point. Do you plan to do the same going forward?
No, the next one won't be free. I made Imperial free because I had reach in mind. I wanted to reach out to the people who haven't heard me, or haven't heard of me. By putting it out for free, I exposed them to what I'm doing, my vibe, my scene. Free means exposure, and I feel like I exposed so many people to my music by keeping it free.
You've worked with Rick Ross and recently Joey Bada$$. Is there anybody you'd like to collaborate with next?
Over the years, I've held it down with DJ Dahi. Ross was definitely my biggest feature, but I've got something with Kirk Knight in the works.
I've got big plans for the future. I'd love to work with Kendrick Lamar, the Weeknd, Flying Lotus, Lil Wayne. On some other shit, I want to work with George Clinton—he's a real one!—Andre 3000, Tyler, the Creator … this list goes on.
What's next after this tour promoting the re-release of Imperial?
I'm working on my new album, Taboo. Thematically, I'm trying to make the ugliest emotions, the ugliest situations sound beautiful.
It's a bit deeper than Imperial. On that album, I was trying to hone in on my sound and my style, and I was projecting my emotions for the very first time—especially anger and sadness. There weren't many uplifting tracks on that album, with the exception of the last one, "If Tomorrow's Not Here." [When writing that album] I was in a weird state of mind. My emotions were out of whack. But I'm calm and relaxed now. I'm gonna do what I gotta do.
"Ultimate" has taken off as a meme thanks to Vine, the water bottle flipping challenge and an Adidas commercial. How do you feel about it?
It's cool, and I'll take all the good words that come from it, but, to be honest, most of the Vines are annoying. The bottle flip shit—I think that shit's stupid. I know people are having fun with it, and that's cool—I embrace all the success that comes with that fully, but I think it's dumb. I'm not into that bottle flipping, but it's funny, and it's cool to see a lot of people getting exposed to my music because of it.
You're performing in Vegas as a break from the festival circuit. Do you prefer performing in venues or festivals?
I'm a festival guy, man. I like the big crowds because that means more exposure. It's cool to see how different people react to my music. The one-off shows are cool, too, because it's always my core fan base that comes out to support. Those shows always get wild, but at festivals, I get to play for my fanbase and other peoples' fanbases. I get to play for people who have never heard of me, and they get to see me do it right.
What can we expect at the Vegas show?
Expect a whole lot of energy. This one's gonna be theatrical, with hands flying everywhere and me going off onstage. It's gonna be the ultimate "turnt" style. [Laughs.]

Generally we think of lymphoma as a blood cancer (like Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins disease)—diagnosable diseases from blood testing and lymph node involvement. Occasionally, the lymphomas may arise from primary skin disease. Such is the case with mycosis fungoides, which is more ominous than its name suggests. Mycosis fungoides in not a fungal disease as it sounds but a Cutaneous (skin) T cell lymphoma that actually begins on the skin.
Mycosis fungoides (MF) may involve the skin for years or even decades without a diagnosis being made. It begins as a local (or less commonly generalized) red patch or plaque that is usually identifiable on the trunk. The only presenting complaint to someone affected with it is most commonly itching. Early skin biopsies may not identify the disease until it is more advanced, and that can be up to 10 years after its appearance. Tumors appear in more advanced cases, and lymph node swelling also occurs in more progressive disease. Sometimes the lymph node swelling is benign and is from local pressure from the lesion on nearby nodes, but sometimes MF extends directly into the nodes by itself.
Skin biopsy is the usual means of diagnosis. Often a non-healing lesion is biopsied by the dermatologist, who has no idea that MF will be the diagnosis on pathology. The findings don't spread to the bloodstream until more advanced disease occurs—the circulating T cells are called Sezary cells and are detectable in blood samples.
Mycosis fungoides is a difficult differential diagnosis for doctors, who may actually treat lesions with other causes in mind before a biopsy shows the definitive characteristics of the disease under the microscope. Psoriasis is one commonly confused disease. So are drug eruptions, eczema, and even ringworm. The only way to diagnose it is through an adequate biopsy of the lesion or lesions.
Treatment of mycosis fungoides is not only difficult but complex. Some cases are slowly progressive and in older individuals will not affect mortality. Early and even aggressive treatment doesn't appear to prevent progressive disease. Corticosteroids are applied to the skin early, with medications such as mechlorethamine, bexarotene and ultraviolet phototherapy. As the disease becomes more relentless, PUVA therapy, interferon, interleukin, and even total skin electron beam treatments are used. Chemotherapy (like in more systemic lymphomas) is given if the disease does not respond to more local therapies or is quickly progressive.
Mycosis fungoides does take time to develop into a malignant and fatal disease, and not every case does. Those who have just patch or plaque involvement do better than those whose lymph nodes are involved early. Those with limited plaque disease do the best, and many times their eventual survival is not compromised. The disease is treated in these slower progressive stages because overly aggressive treatment early in disease doesn't always influence prognosis and complications and premature death may actually befall the individual before the end stages of MF does.
Mycosis fungoides used to be a universally uninsurable disease, but that has changed somewhat. Those who have what is called mycosis fungoides stage 1A (where less than 10 percent of the skin is involved) and in whom there is stable remission for at least three to five years are insurable at a low substandard range. Cases are reconsidered if the original diagnosis was in error, and indeed one of the more benign causes is identified on a repeat biopsy. Again the small lesion/plaque form of limited extension is prognostically the best variety.

This page contains an official policy relating to the Camp Crescent Roleplay Wiki.
Blocking is the means by which an administrator prevents a user account or IP address/range from editing the Camp Crescent Roleplay Wiki. Blocks are preventive rather than punitive measures used to prevent damage by dealing with vandalism and enforcing Camp Crescent Roleplay Wiki policies. Block duration may vary, depending on the severity and longevity of policies broken.
Requesting BlocksEdit
If a user thinks someone needs to be blocked, they should contact an administrator. Users reporting a block should tell why the user deserves a block. They should be as specific as possible, including giving any relevant evidence. An admin will then decide if the user deserves the block.
RB's, Administrators, BcratsEdit
If you are a member of the Administration team, you are not exempt from following the policies, even if you feel you are only doing so, in the process of enforcing one. If there is proof that someone on the Administration team is breaking policies, they are just as liable to receive warnings as anyone else is. However, the Administration team needs to be setting an example for the rest of the wiki. So this is how members of the Administration team will be dealt with:
- 1st offense: Verbal Warning
- 2nd offense: First Warning
- 3rd offense: Final Warning, as well as an official vote for demotion to reg user for failing to set a proper example
- 4th offense: Temp block
- 5th offense: Perm block
Wrongful blockEdit
If a user thinks they were blocked when they shouldn't have, they should explain why on their talk page. An admin will review it, and decide if the user should be blocked or not. ==Reasons for Blocking/Warnings== Admins will block someone for a variety of reasons.
Good ReasonsEdit
- Personal attacks
- Vandalism of the wiki
- Incivility
- Harassment
- Spamming
- Edit warring or revert warring
- Sock Puppetry, specifically if used to get around a block or get around the character limit policies
- Policy violation
- Heavy cussing, name calling or violence
- Making a character, artifact or mission without prior approval
Bad ReasonsEdit
- Disagreeing with an administrator
- Just not personally liking someone
Block DurationEdit
Again, I stress, the following durations are only an example, how long someone actually gets is a combination of the policy that was broken along with the discretion of the administrator.
Anon. VandalsEdit
- 1st offense: Final Warning
- 2nd offense: Perm block
Registered VandalsEdit
- 1st offense: "Verbal" Warning, especially if the user is new and just didn't know better
- 2nd offense: First Official Warning
- 3rd offense: Final Official Warning
- 4th offense: Temp Block, anywhere from 3 days to 4 weeks *Further offense: Permanent block
- 5th offense: Perm Block
Sock puppetsEdit
- 1st offense: Permanent block, unless the sock was not used in a malicious manner, to get around a block or to get around the character policies, exceptions can be made for this.
First WarningEdit
{{{1}}} = What they did to breach policy.
Final WarningEdit
{{{1}}}= The time period their cool down block will be for. {{{2}}} = What they did to breach policy.
Temporary BanEdit
{{{1}}}= Their user name. {{{2}}}= Number of days they will be blocked for. {{{3}}}= What they did to breach policy. {{{4}}} = Name of administrator enforcing block.
Permanent BlockEdit
Having a Record ExpungedEdit
If a user goes at least 8 weeks without any more issues after they have been given a warning for something, it may be expunged from their record, and they may start with a clean slate.

The massive storm that hit the U.S. East Coast was a devastating event, particularly for those in the New York and New Jersey areas. Many of our research and marketing colleagues are based in that area, and I have heard from many about the challenges this act of nature has posed. Please consider donating to the American Red Cross through its special iTunes Sandy relief donation page or one of many other charities that are helping with the recovery efforts.
Since we are a site about data, research and marketing, we naturally are interested in public opinion on the storm. We are aware of one poll post-storm which does not focus on the political aspects of the storm (job approval for politicians). On Wednesday YouGov and the Huffington Post released a brief omnibus survey of Americans conducted just after the storm.
Here are some of the key findings:
Sixty-four percent prefer that the federal government provide disaster assistance, while 19% feel such assistance should be left to the states, and 17% are not sure. About a third each think Sandy is related to global warming (32%), is not related (34%) or are not sure (34%). Interestingly, over half (51%) feel changes in global climate "are related to more frequent and severe natural disasters."
Whatever our divided opinions are on these issues related to the storm, I have no doubt we are united in our support for those in Sandy's destructive path.

I talked to Katie for a long time and then Tina came and gave me a cool book I have been waiting for, I heart Tina!! I also talked to Jenny Lueitzow and Meggy. I drank so much water there too, and I peed, peed all night. I wished Chaank whad the new Razed In Black, AND Duran Duran "Undone" I always gotta wait until Pat DJ's to hear that stuff!!! tee hee.
I am not feeling all that hot today, I think my medicine is giving me a sore throat, I should read what the side effects are again. My big pills are called Levaquin and they are SO big, that I can't swallow them without applesauce.
I found pictures of my Jose online the other day, there are TONS of them on the Strangest Places web site. Http://www.strangestplaces.com. I saved all the ones I really liked and I even put one of my favorites on my computer as my desktop picture. Yeah, I'm weird, shut up. He's just sooo HOT. I'm serious, I can't keep my hands OFF him ever. I can speak the same for him though, heh heh. Yeaaaah.
Tonight after work I go straight to the gas staition and then to my moms and then to Jose's house before he goes to work.
Shit! I forgot to take that drive out of my computer.....ummm Pat, I will call you from my mom's house before I leave to go back to my side of town ok? Cool.

That's all I see today at work, there are these bills staring at me, they want to be paid. Oh, but they will have to wait, for I am done copying papers and figuring budgets today. They will have to wait 'till Monday.
remember.... feng shui!
Levaquin shouldn't give you a sore throat...it's just an antibiotic....once a day dosing, and tends to work pretty well for most things. 250mg or 500mg?
They are 500MG, how do you know all this stuff about pills? do you work in a hospital?
it's what I went to school for, and what I've been doing since '97. I used to work in hospitals, now I do only IV infusion and have gone to home health care.
Wow, that's really cool, I love studying about drugs, that's one of my big interests.
I've had levaquin a couple times. Your sore throat is from something else.
I'll have to go look at that website, I looked at it a LONG LONG time ago. I'm friends with the lead singer guy (Jon) and Tim (the tall skinny one.)
Re: Pictures....
Heeeealll yeah, I love the double date thingy, I think those are probly one of the most fun things to do, I don't know why, it's like yer all dating someone, so there's no competition there. Tee hee, we'll for sure have to figure something out soon!!

You are now viewing the

For a homestay to work, the guest has to learn how to adapt to the family. To do this, it is necessary to shift from the distant guest entry position (

However, a guest from abroad naturally has little knowledge of what

Modules 6.1 and 6.2 give you insight into those aspects of

These modules will require some concentration on your part, but that effort will be rewarded when you get to Part 3, where the understanding you have developed in 6.1 and 6.2 will enable you to see things that the homestay participants themselves were unable to grasp.

What to Look for When Buying A Generator
Whether you are buying a new or used generator, there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind. This is because what works for you may not work for someone else. Additionally, not all generators are the same. Click
to learn more about Portable Generator. While some are meant for home use, others are manufactured for commercial use or for activities such as camping. Here are some of the most essential factors to consider when purchasing a new or used generator.
First, you need to take into account the size of the generator. In most cases, the size determines the amount of fuel it can hold, maintenance costs, and the warranty. You should go for a permanent generator when you need an automated kick in when power is off. These generators are normally huge hence not portable. Smaller and portable generators are much efficient for use in homes with a small number of electrical appliances. Do a calculation of the total wattage of the things to be powered since it is important in determining size of generator to buy.
The type of fuel to be used by the generator is another factor that is to be seriously considered when purchasing a generator. When buying a large or permanent generator, ensure that you get one that uses propane or the normal natural gas as source of fuel. This is because they can be kept for a longer period than diesel or even petrol. Natural gas and propane can be used immediately when power is off whereas petrol generators take some time to kick in. Movable generators normally use petrol because it is cheaper and easy to store.
Keep in mind the capacity of the fuel tank and usage per hour should be considered. To get more info,
click here to get started
. This is because you need a fuel-efficient generator which holds a reasonable amount of fuel. Fuel efficiency and the tank size are dependent on each other and directly affect the duration a generator can operate.
Generator maintenance costs and activities is another aspect to consider. Check reviews regarding the generator maintenance from previous customers. If possible, have a candid talk with mechanics servicing similar generators to get their views. This will give you ideas about what generators to keep off from and the best types to purchase.
The warranty of the generator should also be among the things to consider. A good generator should have after sale services just in case some faults may arise during use. In this case you will get technical assistance at no cost. Ensure the warranty at list covers the generator long enough to enable the user monitor its performance.
Level of the noise produced is another aspect to check when buying a generator. Check decibel levels to determine if they are safe and the generator muffler issued to ensure that it is of high quality. This is very important more so in recreational areas like camping. Quietest generators like the inverters are recommendable in recreational facilities. They are mostly popular in homes because of their quietness but don't forget the technology behind it might make them costly. Learn more from

Stress Buster
Getting stress out of your life takes more than prayer alone. You must take action to make changes and stop doing whatever is causing the stress. You can learn to calm down in the way you handle things.– Joyce Meyer
Here comes one of our very close frenemies, one that's called stress. As much as we misunderstand it, stress can actually become a friend if we manage it well.
Like everything in life, it's all about balance. It's about how we manage the right level of stress in this busy world so we can be motivated to achieve without compromising our health and wellbeing. It's also about taking care of oneself when the stress levels are too high. Some people perform better under pressure and some just collapse. There are many psychological and physiological reasons behind this, which you will learn about.
In this workshop you will learn about stress, how to identify it, measure it, manage it and live with it.

This is the very raw copy of my song, "Believe." I am going to use MuseScore to port this over as a midi file into more sophisticated software and go from there, but I'm pretty proud of this as it is. It's my first time actually notating percussion, and it came out a lot better than I'd imagined. I did essentially no sound leveling or anything since I'm going to make it my "real" recording later.
"Believe" was inspired by a character I made, Piper Quinn, who is a mage in a White Wolf RPG that my husband is the game master for. In this world, she's spent years underground hiding from the Technocracy. When the game started, she had nightmares all the time and was pretty paranoid. But, then she met someone special who changed her life. She's actually a musician as well in the game (I created her as the person I wished I could be, and now am becoming... well, except for the "mage" part. * sniffle *), so at one point I thought, "She should compose a song. Duh. She's a singer and that's her dream." At first, I started off just with the poetry, which of course became the lyrics . . . and then I started hearing the song in my head.
There's more to it than that, but I promised all of the real background stuff would go to my patrons on patreon.com. So, I must keep that promise. I hope you enjoy what this is now and will wait to see its inevitable evolution into something even more beautiful. =^--^=
Edit: 8/24/13: My friend pointed out that the violin part wasn't playable in some sections, so I have updated it. Might be more challenging now, but it *should* be playable, in theory. :o
Edit: 10/4/13: Made some modifications to tempo and to the bridge.

I'd love to tell you that as a mother I always set a good example, but sometimes there's just more fun in the follies.
So if you're out looking for some parental inspiration or need a little motherly motivation, you might want to skip this post. On the other hand, if you need something to smile about and would rather be laughing than rocking back and forth in the corner crying, read on.
I bring you a (Un)motivational Posters for Parents!
1. Expectations, it's okay to have them, but make sure you're setting them in the right place.
2. Way, way overrated.
3. Poop is still poop, even when it's imaginary, if you ask me.
4. If it's a suitable choice for the most important meal of the day, well then Bon Appétit! Dinner is served.
5. You are no fun. You are never done. Rinse and spin; I'll never win. Dark and light, a housewife's plight, you agitate! Oh, how I hate the laundry! – A Poem by me about how much I hate the $@#% laundry.
Inspiration can be hard to find, but also parenting would be impossible without a sense of humor. I'll be adding to this list right after I serve some cereal for dinner and finish up that laundry…
Where do you find inspiration? Or maybe a better question, or one that I'd be more interested to hear the answer to, who are your favorite funny writers? Leave me a comment, I'm always looking for a good laugh!

A basher of Ellen Adarna stated that she should now face the cases against her since she already gave birth
Controversial actress Ellen Adarna was not able to present herself before the Pasig Prosecutors' Office last June because of her condition.
This is in line with the child abuse and cybercrime cases filed against her by the mother of Eleila who she tagged as "paparazzi".
Ellen's boyfriend, A-list actor John Lloyd Cruz, was the one who represented her along with her attorney for the reason that she was expected to give birth.
It was confirmed in a previous article that she already gave birth to her son with Lloydie.
With that, she is expected to appear before the court to during the next hearing to face the charges against her.
Regarding this matter, Ellen Adarna received bashing from some netizens.
Based on the article published in Bandera which was under the column of entertainment writer Alex Brosas, there was one netizen who said that the actress should the cases against her now.
"Oo nga pakealam namin sa inyong dalawa. Ngayong nakapanganak ka na harapin mo na kaso mo," the said basher of Ellen stated.
There is one basher who sort of mock the sexy actress for not admitting that she is pregnant.
"Never umamin na buntis, pero nanganak na pala. Hahaha. Congratulations," the mocking comment from a netizen said.
Another netizen who seemed to be questioning the time frame of the relationship of Ellen and John Lloyd commented with this:
"Kailan lng sila ni John Lloyd Cruz, nanganak na agad."
A netizen accused the sexy actress that it was her strategy.
"Strategy para hindi makalimutan ng tao, hay!" a basher commented, based on the article.
According to Brosas, Ellen could not blame those who are throwing her mean comments especially about her relationship with John Lloyd.
The entertainment columnist said that the controversial couple can do nothing with it because they showed so many drama on social media.

Our Misson & Vision
Create and conduct studies, wherever, whenever. Worldbrainwave wants to make research tools accessible for everyone. By doing so, we connect millions of cooperating users with millions of collaborating researchers, creating a better world together.
Our Purpose: One People, One Planet
Our mission revolves around sharing research knowledge with the world.
As humans, we are a social species, which can range from families, friends and groups to cities, civilizations, and nowadays global cultures. These structures evolved with neural mechanisms to support us, because social behaviors helped human kind to survive, reproduce, and care for offspring. But during our evolution, cultural differences arose. We believe that connecting people cross-culturally, can help ethnic groups understand each other better - resulting in fewer conflicts about resources and belief systems. Therefore important as a research field, as relevant to the future and survival of our world. Because we are one of a kind. On one planet.
When can AI meet You?
As you probably have noticed there is still no register option of the platform.
We expect our platform to be publicly accessible in the beginning of this year.
Research Projects
At the moment, we are running several research projects, including a comprehensive study in sustainable pro-social (brand) positioning and how brands can increase feelings of trust, using Affective Priming and Self-Associative Personality Tasks (based on Big Five Personality Traits).
Social and behavioural sciences
Social (neuro)science is the research field focused on the understanding of emotional and social processes in human behavior. It uses biological, psychological, sociological and cultural concepts to research social processes and behavior. A number of methods are used in social neuroscience to investigate the confluence of neural and social processes. Methods like Implicit Associations, Semantic Priming, Electroencephalogram (EEG), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), etc.. For our online research we use several methods, mostly based on implicit preferences.

Only months after a their biggest spill in history and an explosion that killed one of their employees, Alpharetta company Colonial Pipeline has announced that they are looking to expand. Although many critics are voicing their complaints about property rights, fearing that Colonial Pipeline could work with unprincipled Ga. legislators to seize private property, the environmental impact would be an event greater issue.
From 1996 to 1999, Colonial Pipeline had seven spills that caused significant damage to the waterways in the Southeast. The EPA filed a complaint citing that Colonial Pipeline's spills were due to gross negligence that violated the Clean Water Act. Colonial Pipeline settled and paid $34 million, the largest fine in EPA history.
On September 9, 2016, a Colonial Pipeline leak in Shelby County, Ala. spilled an estimated 252,000 gallons of gasoline, destroying the nearby environment and harming wildlife. This was the biggest spill in almost twenty years.
Company Bill Berry had this to say about the massive spill:
"It's not safe for our workers to recover much product off of the pond due to gasoline vapors. It's a challenge for us to do much because the vapors are not at safe levels for human health. So that presents a challenge to say how much has been released."
On October 31, a Colonial Pipeline mainline exploded and burned in Shelby County. One worker died and several were injured in the explosion — only a few miles from the September spill.
Now, barely a month after an explosion that cost one worker his life, Colonial Pipeline is talking about expansion. Business development manager Don Gardner states, "We're constantly looking at ways to expand." How could a company be constantly thinking of expansion when its negligence caused a major spill and an employee's death only months ago?
In a lot of ways, Georgia is on the forefront of using alternative fuels. In the past few years Georgia has developed laws and incentives that encourage drivers to use alternative fuels and has become one of the nation's top solar employers. The fact that we're still having close to 600 chemical spills per year is terribly regressive.
We have the infrastructure in place to demand more environmental protection legislation and we need to hold companies accountable for poisoning our communities, waterways and wildlife. If Colonial Pipeline chooses (and is allowed) to expand before taking the time to check their current systems we will continue to see gasoline spills, ruined ecosystems and explosions.

It's crazy how fragile our life is.... Ladies and gentlemen, read it to the end and think about it. It's for your own sake.
Enjoy the time when everything is just fine
We don't fully appreciate and value the time when everything is okay, when everything is just fine. We complain about things in our life even everything is fine, we procrastinate, we think that we have plenty of time ahead... I will do it tomorrow, I will be happy when I'll achieve my goal, when I get married, when I get divorce, when I get a job and so on.... But how much time do we have? How much?
I just came back form vacation with the best friend of mine. We had an amazing time and it seemed like everything would great and fun forever. But being there I get a bad news that a person who I knew had gone. She was a very young, kind and generous person. It was a shock to me that she is not with us anymore. It instantly reminded me how fragile or life is.
We usually don't expect that our life or lives of our dear people will end soon
We usually don't expect that our life or lives of our dear people will end soon. We think we have a lot of time... We think that we always have time to say 'Thank you for being in my life', 'Thank you for being with me', 'I love you', 'I miss you', 'I want to hug you', 'I want to make a cup of tea for you'.... We think we can do it tomorrow, because today I feel too shy to say that, I am to tired, or because I don't want to look vulnerable. 'What if she/he will reject me?'. 'I just don't want to do it because he/she doesn't do it for me'. So, you do it first and see what might happen, what if she/he is also waiting for the first step from you.... How long would you wait for? 'What other people will think about me if I'll do that?'.... Bullshit! Do it now! We don't know how much time we have. We don't!!!
Is happiness at the end of the road?
The happiness is not at the end of the road, it's not in the goal we would like to achieve, it is in the process to our goals, in living our lives. It's in watching sunsets and sunrises, it is in being, fully being with people we love, going for a goal even if it's painful and hard, raising kids no matter how difficult it is, being with wife or husband in a good or bad time, it's in meeting new people, in conversations over a cup of coffee, a bottle of beer, a glass of wine, in dancing, working, traveling... No matter what you like or do, happiness is in the process, in living and enjoying our lives.
Love you life!
Love your life, really love it and live it! We have the only chance to live.
You messed up your diet and you didn't exercise today - so what? You didn't ruin anything. Get back on track tomorrow. If you have one flat tire, do you slash the other three? Of course not.

Majority of children get first choice primary school places in Lincolnshire
In Lincolnshire, 93 per cent of children have been given a place at their school of choice in the latest round of primary admissions released today (Thursday, April 16), despite an increase in the number of requests for the more popular schools.
Along with the rest of the country, Lincolnshire has experienced high numbers of families wanting their children to start school in September.
There are currently 7790 children wanting a school place this year, the largest year group since the local authority started co-ordinating primary school intake admissions in 2007.
93 per cent of these children will receive an offer of a place at their first preference school, the same figure as last year.
Lincolnshire County Council has offered a school place to every child whose parents applied by the deadline, 140 children (or just 1.8 per cent) will be offered a local school that isn't one of their preferences.
Parents can pick up their offer using the online system from today (April 16) at http://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/schooladmissions.
Parents have until May 15 to lodge an appeal if they are unhappy with the refusal of a school place. If they return the appeal form by the deadline, it will be heard before the end of term - if it is received late it will still be heard but this may be in September.
Debbie Barnes, Director of Children's Services, said: "I am delighted to see so many children getting their first school of preference and this should be even better by September. It is always our intention to support as many parents as possible with their preferences. Every year the overwhelming majority of parents are successful in gaining admission to the school of their choice."

Reality cheque
What would you do with US$30,000? Buy a car? Clothes? Or try to get a head start on your dreams? Eight young people (17 to 22) win US$30,000 from a multinational banking corporation under the condition that they use it to realize a near-and-dear dream project. Forty one-hour eps of Head Start document these efforts.
The new youth drama series from Australia-based Gannon Television, the producer of Heartbreak High, has been commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and is set to debut in spring 2001. Carlton International has secured the international rights to the series, with Foxtel obtaining the pay cable rights for the repeat window. There has also been a presale deal with France 2. Head Start, with an estimated budget of US$7.5 million, is the result of a partnership between Gannon, Carlton International and Australia's Enroache Productions.
So, you wannabe a popstar?
With the blend of voyeuristic TV and pop music still clicking with kids, the hugely popular series Popstars, out of New Zealand and Australia, is taking its show on the road. Aussie producer Screentime and U.K.-based Target are distributing the docusoap format in Germany, Italy, the U.K. and the U.S., with interest in Latin America as well. Popstars, the highest-rated show in Australia for 11 weeks (aired in February 2000), documents the latest and greatest of hopeful girl bands vying for a contract with Warner Music (Universal in Canada)-a good deal if Bardot, the winning band Down Under, is any example. The group's single and album, 'Poison,' went to number one in Australia its first week, and the girls are now touring in Asia.
The 13 x half-hour series appeals to a broad age range. The characters themselves are approximately 18 to mid-20s, drawing viewers from just about any age group according to Target's head of sales Kate Bourne. But realistically, tweens, teens and young adults are most likely to tune in. The budget for Popstars compares with traditional docusoap programming, landing somewhere between US$100,000 and US$120,000 per ep. Lone Eagle out of Toronto is handling the Canadian version for Global, and auditions are running now with an approximate delivery date of early next year.
Initial Kids sprints to deliver sporty slice-of-life series
GMG Endemol Entertainment prodco Initial Kids is working on a live-action reality series that delves into the trials and tribulations of seven teen athletes juggling social lives and family obligations, all the while training to compete in the illustrious English Schools Championship track and field event. Among Run For Your Life's eclectic cast of characters is hammer-thrower Richard Greene, a 210-pound 15-year-old who has been banned from his local Pizza Hut for over-indulging at the all-you-can-eat buffet in an effort to bulk up. The 13 x 25-minute series will debut in the U.K. on Channel 4 at the end of October, occupying a 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon slot. With a budget of US$310,000, Run For Your Life's primary target demo is teens ages 14 to 19, but the series could also get a ratings boost from Olympics-lovers looking for something to fill the void after the Games are over.
Tele Images returns to live action
Since French networks have not been overly enthusiastic about youth live-action drama over the last few years, production company Tele Images, headed by Simone Harari, had also given the genre a pass and focused on animation. Today, as networks such as France 2 and France 3 announce new intentions in that arena, Philippe Alessandri, head of Tele Images Creation children's department, jumps back into live action with a pair of projects in development.
Most advanced is 26 x 26-minute Door to Door (for kids eight to 12), co-produced with Canadian partner Telescene. The focus is the life-in-transition of a 12-year-old boy who juggles his time between two reconstructed families. Budgeted at US$7 million, the series will be a mixture of 2-D animation (handled by Tele Images) and live sequences shot in Canada (by Telescene). The co-pro also includes Canal Famille in Canada, Canal J and Tele Images International. Delivery is set for January 2001.
Meanwhile, for a slightly older audience, Tele Images Creation is working with Australian producer Southern Star on La Villa. Written by French author Vincent Macherasse along with writer and producer Chris Roache, this 26 x 26-minute series (targeting the 15 to 20 set) features a group of first-year university students who cohabit a house. The series will be shot in English and French on location in Aix-en-Provence (South of France). Tele Images is still looking for French co-producers.
He said, she said
Girl Stuff, Boy Stuff, a new 2-D tween-targeted series from Toronto's Decode (Angela Anaconda), is in development with YTV and Fox Family Worldwide for launch in fall 2001. Co-produced with U.K.-based Animus Productions, Girl Stuff, Boy Stuff (26 half hours) combines (or pits) boys' and girls' POVs and deals with tween social issues. The show should run between US$300,000 and US$325,000 per episode, with Decode handling worldwide distribution. A companion website is in development for next year, featuring chatrooms where discussions can take place between viewers.
More mystical tweens: Carlton's chime child
Elizabeth Arnold's children's trilogy (The Parsley Parcel, Gold and Silver Water and A Riot of Red Ribbon) has birthed Gypsy Girl, a CITV live-action series for 11- to 15-year-olds, delivered by Film and General out of London.
Gypsy Girl tells of a young girl named Freya, a gifted 'chime child' with a magical crystal. For those who don't know (and KidScreen didn't!), a chime child is a Romany girl, born at midnight on the eve of Good Friday, whose powers tend towards healing and intuition.
Gypsy Girl is budgeted at US$1.5 million and is being produced by Clive Parsons and Davina Belling. The seven x half-hour series is slated for delivery this November, with international rights handled by Carlton.
Tracey invents her way onto TV
Tracey McBean's Stretching Machine, a book by Mary Small and Arthur Filloy, has spawned a new 2-D series called Tracey McBean-a US$2.5-million (approximate) co-production with Australia's Southern Star, Egmont Imagination Denmark and Shanghai Animation of China. The series targets six- to 10-year-olds.
Tracey's an inventor, someone for whom everything is possible. Needless to say, she has a lot of imagination that she uses to solve the problems that pop up each ep. Southern Star has worldwide distribution rights for the 26 x 11-minute series, except for Europe, which will be covered by Egmont. The show should air in late 2001 or early 2002 on ABC in Australia and Fox Kids UK.

Then I sewed a Lanyard out of the same material and just made it shorter than mine. Added a pin cushion and pins, a tape measure, quick unpick and it is now all wrapped up for his birthday.
Eli has never particularly focussed on his birthday but this year he has been counting down since 61 days before. So I had to add a photo of his countdown. I am a bit worried that his birthday will not live up to his expectations. So I am planning lots of little envelopes to appear on the hour with different things to do next (like a sort of day long treasure hunt).
In later years I will not be able to post before a birthday. But thankfully at the moment he does not read my blog unless I open it for him!
I link to these places and Finish it up Friday

Clemson-Baylor Super Regional Preview
|2005-06-11 01:14:34.0- -
WACO, Texas - A thorough look at the numbers of his own club, as well as that of Baylor, has led Jack Leggett to a conclusion.
Dan Scott covers Clemson University for the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Seneca Daily Journal/Clemson Messenger and TigerNet. He also hosts SportsTalk from 9 a.m.-Noon, Monday-Friday, on WCCP-Fm, 104.9. Click here for Dan Scott's SportsTalk discussion board.
"I think this series will come down to our hitters," the Clemson coach said Friday at the NCAA Super Regional press conference, held in the Sullivan Room of Baylor Ballpark in Waco, Texas.
"With their pitching, we're going to have to keep doing what we've been doing. We've got to execute the bunt game, and when we get runners in scoring position we've got to get them in. We can't waste scoring opportunities against these guys."
The team numbers between Clemson and Baylor (both 42-21) are interesting, to say the least.
The Tigers hit .308 as a team and have pounded 75 home runs. Baylor's pitching staff (3.30 earned run average) has allowed opponents just a .234 average this season, and has allowed just 30 home runs.
Meanwhile, Clemson's pitchers have a 3.89 earned run average and have given up just 28 homers. Tiger hurlers are allowing the opposition to hit at a .269 clip.
Baylor's team batting average? Exactly .269.
But raw numbers can be deceiving. Otherwise one wouldn't expect the duo of Seth Fortenberry and Jeff Mandel to be instant legends in the annals of Baylor baseball history.
In the regional finals vs. Stanford, the Bears trailed 3-2 in the top of the ninth inning. Fortenberry, a .178 hitter with just three home runs to his credit this season, hit his fourth of the year to tie the game and force extra innings.
Then in the 12th, Mandel - forced into double duty as both a relief pitcher and designated hitter - hit his first bomb of the season for what proved to be the winning run.
All of which proves you can't always judge by numbers. However, in this instance, Baylor coach Steve Smith wants Leggett's analysis to be accurate.
"I hope so," Smith replied when asked if the key was his pitching vs. Clemson's offense. "I hope it comes down to a battle of the bullpens."
With Abe Woody (9-3, 2.79, 11 saves), Ryan LaMotta (5-1, 2.22), Tyler Bullock (1-0, 3.16) and Mandel (3-0, 2.05), the Bears have been able to go deep into the bullpen to secure games this season. All but Bullock have pitched at least 58 innings this season, meaning Smith won't hesitate to pull a starter if necessary.
Conversely, only Jeff Hahn (58 1/3) has that many innings for the Tigers' relief corp this season, and his numbers (3-1, 3.24) include a pair of starts.
Of course, the way Clemson's starters have pitched lately, getting innings for the bullpen has been difficult.
"Those guys (Steven Faris, Josh Cribb and Robert Rohrbaugh) have been great lately," Leggett said. "The stage is getting bigger each time out, and they have to keep giving us those kind of performances."
Faris (6-4, 2.56) will start for Clemson today, facing off against Baylor lefthander Trey Taylor (7-5, 3.43).
Taylor is the kind of pitcher which has given the Tigers trouble at times this season. Besides being lefthanded (Clemson is 8-9 vs. lefties), Taylor throws a decent, but not overpowering fastball, as well as a variety of off-speed and breaking pitches.
"I have to throw strikes with all my pitches, otherwise they're going to be hitting the ball all over the place," Taylor said. "But I'm confident that I'm going to pitch well. I don't say that to sound cocky, because I'm sure if you ask (Faris) he'll say the same thing."
Baylor is 11-5 in games Taylor has started.
Game Two's pitching matchup will pit Cribb (8-4, 3.22) against Baylor's Mark McCormick (7-3, 3.12). McCormick's fastball has been clocked at 100 miles per hour, and usually runs in the 95-98 mph range. He can be wild at times, having walked 55 batters in 92 1/3 innings.
Meanwhile, Cribb has thrown three complete games in his last four starts and has won five straight decisions.
If a third game is necessary on Monday, Clemson will start lefty Robert Rohrbaugh (8-2, 4.08 ERA). Baylor would be expected to start a lefthander, as well - Cory VanAllen (7-4, 4.00).
Today's game is scheduled for a Noon (Eastern) start, and will be televised both on ESPN and ESPNU.

Search and State
Made in New York
October 29th, 2014
The options for Cycling kit these days are overwhelming. Not only for me as a shop owner but also for the consumer who is trying to weed through marketing to really find the garments that meet their expectations. I feel it is my duty to find the best products on the market that I would personally use and to partner with brands that share the same values as PRW. In Search and State I truly believe I have found a brand to add to our portfolio of premium products.
SAS is a New York based company that was started by Devin O'Brien and Daniel Golden. Both are cyclists who previously worked in clothing design and marketing who decided to start their own brand with a different approach to cycling kit. What started in 2010 with a couple pieces has grown to a dialed collection of essential cycling pieces: 2 Jerseys, Bibshorts, Gilet, Jacket, Armwarmers and Legwarmers. Simple colours with minimal branding, the aesthetics are quiet but the fit and finish speaks volumes.
So why SAS? Good question, one I have put considerable thought into. I never take the decision of introducing a new line to the shop lightly, as it reflects on me personally. Besides the aesthetics of the brand, I love their philosophy. All garments are hand made in Manhattan's Garment District in small batches to ensure quality and perfection, not many brands can say that. SAS takes it a step further and uses US milled fabrics as well in many of the pieces.
A true winner already is the S1-J riding Jacket. If there ever was a do all cycling jacket we may have just found it. It features C-Change™ fabric technology by Scholler®. C-Change™ is a bionic climate membrane that independently reacts to changing temperatures, closing when exposed to cold and opening in response to warmth. The S1-J traps heat when you need it, vents moisture as it's produced and may be the most versatile piece of technical apparel you will own.
SAS offers two SS Jerseys, the S1-A and S2-R. The S1-A features a two tone microbial fabric that is milled in the USA. Classic cut and fit topped off with an indestructible Riri full zip. The S2-R is the latest addition to the line, featuring a more performance fit utilizing a four way stretch fabric. I have ridden this piece already and it's my new favourite jersey. Comes in black, black or black. I like black.
The S1-S Bibshort feature a Cytech chamois, medium compression and medium weight fabric that is the perfect for Edmonton's typically cooler riding seasons. Face it we get about 7 days of actual hot weather, the rest of the summer is less than balmy. The medium weight bib is perfect for this and is also dyed to match the black SAS Jersey's, gotta look pro.
We are super excited to be one of the first retail partners for SAS in Canada and Edmonton's exclusive stockist. A selection of Bibs, Jersey's and Jackets is in stock now, so be sure to check them out. You will not be disappointed. For more info check them out on the Interwebs.
