Canadian Pacific's Mountain Sub & Rogers Pass
Highball Productions
Format: DVD
Length: 75 minutes
Locations: Field to Revelstoke.
Stoney Creek Bridge, Mount MacDonald, Kicking Horse River..
Time Period: June 1999
Source: Peter Crook
The scenic Canadian Rockies and Selkirk Mountains are the settings for this show. Canadian Pacific Railway will have a large number of trains on parade. Shot in 1999, the newer third generation locomotive power dominates the show. The scenery is as important as the trains in this region.
About the DVD, There is no chapter menu. Only a play button. Menus are desirable on train videos. It would have been convenient to jump to Stoney Creek, or some of the other places. A very basic map is shown at the beginning of the show. You will need to pause here, the locations are not updated on the map, during this program. The maps should have received more attention. There are many locations. At times, you will wonder where we are, in the overall route we travel. In fact, the lack of some maps, gets annoying as the show moves along, briskly, from spot to spot. On a modern video, in a computer graphics age, these should be standard issue.
The narrator sounds a little thin, with his rather light, vocal presence. He does good with callouts of the variety of locomotive types. Some historical information is well done. There are the major scenic and historical highlights of the line. The pace hurries through them. Pay attention or you will miss them- that quick! A bit disappointing, and too little time spent on the highlights.
Videography is excellent and the strongest point of this whole train video. Assorted viewpoints that give a great combination of looks at all of the trains that are seen. Natural audio sounds fine, when in the scene. You'll hear the narrator's voice get buried in the mix, when he speaks with train sounds present.
SD90MAC, AC44, SD40-2, SD-40F are the general models in service.
A Rocky Mountaineer Railtours train looks splendid with a matched consist.
This is a nicely shot program, of contemporary Canadian Pacific. The modern intermodals and unit trains just are not interesting to watch. Scenery is, like most everything filmed in this region, spectacular. It is a good show for what it has to offer viewers. More views of the CP in a stunning area. Hey, if you like modern trains, this is loaded with them.
This show is a pretty one. Has some weaknesses, as stated. Not one that I would revisit. Not bad, not great either. Rates slightly higher, that is the Canadian mountain route and some excellent shots there with trains. If you are new to Canadian railroading, there are better selections available. CP's Mountain Sub and Rogers Pass is something that you could add later on.
Rating: 3 1/2 Stars

Rochester Institute of Technology student Jim Heaney started his rapid manufacturing and prototyping business when he was just 14 years old. Five years later, and with the guidance of RIT's Saunders Summer Startup Program, Heaney and his team are hoping a successful pitch to potential investors will take their business to the next level.
Heaney's business, Venator Technologies, is among 15 student start-up companies in the program, which encourages multidisciplinary student teams to jumpstart their ventures at the small-business launch pad in hopes of kick starting real companies. It culminates with Investor Demo Night, which will be held at 6 p.m. on Aug. 8 in Ingle Auditorium, Student Alumni Union. A networking reception immediately follows. The event is free and open to the public.
Creating a backpack that suits the packing needs of today's gamers, solving mass refrigeration concerns on Sub-Saharan farms, and developing a wearable device and mobile app that helps veterans transition into civilian life are a few of the uniquely innovative early-stage business ideas created by student teams during this year's program.
The program is sponsored by Saunders College of Business and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and is hosted by the Albert J. Simone Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
Throughout the summer, each of the startups is offered a stipend, a team expense fund, working space in Institute Hall and support from RIT faculty, assigned mentors and community business leaders.
Heaney, a second-year industrial engineering major from Montgomery, N.Y., says that his experience with the Saunders Summer Startup Program has helped him develop confidence in his business and has moved his team ahead of the pack.
"Even though my business is somewhat established, this program has provided my team with details on the finer points of business including access to countless business contacts, information on marketing and research and development funding, and tips on effective public speaking and pitching to investors, which are all so invaluable to running a successful business," said Heaney. "Thanks to the top-notch mentoring that we've received from our entrepreneurship coaches and the staff at The Construct at RIT, we have learned how to create a solid foundation for our business."
This summer's student teams are:

Creating an effective marketing strategy can be challenging for a real estate agent, but one key element that has to be on point is the images. In fact, strong photos of a property can make the difference between a speedy sale and languishing on the market - so all professionals have to be invested in upgrading this aspect of their business.
Thankfully, it is relatively easy to start taking high quality images, even if the agent isn't exactly a top-notch photographer. Due to the wide range of affordable applications, software and devices out there, anyone can snap a picture of a property and make it look phenomenal.
Here are a few tips and tricks in order to do this effectively:
Take advantage of technologyReal estate technology makes it easier than ever before to take great-looking images. Many apps for smartphones and tablets turn even the most inexperienced professional into a skilled photographer, all at little to no cost. The end result could be better listings and more buyer interest.
According to RealSupport Inc., in an article for ActiveRain, one such app is called Snapseed. This is a straightforward picture-taking and editing tool. After the image is captured, users can either apply any number of filters - similar to Instagram - but also use editing features built in for an added layer of customization. In addition to Snapseed, there is Takes, an app that turns photos into videos. This is perfect for creating home tour clips for potential buyers.
When taking photos and creating effective listings, agents will need access to a wide range of in-depth information. With CRS Data, a trip to the local courthouse is no longer needed, as mortgage records, warranty deeds and much more are available right online.
Use photos to create great listingsOnce photos are taken, it comes time to integrate them into each listing. Having a number of quality pictures to accompany the text will ensure that buyers know exactly how great the property is.
According to FrontDoor.com, the images must be tailored correctly online. For example, the website that they are hosted on must be user and mobile friendly. The site also has to look and feel up-to-date, plus, it has to be easily navigated. Users must be able to find the contact information of the relevant professionals quickly and easily. Above all else, the photos have to be large and high quality. Once coupled with a nice caption, the listings will be ready for potential buyers.

Good morning everyone! I hope your December is going great and that Santa leaves a lot of gifts under your Christmas tree this year.
Since this marks my return to the team after being off several months, I wanted to share a couple of ATCs I completed. These were fun to create and can be done with a minimum of fuss or muss!
Large and Small Square Tiles Set One. I stamped it on a separate piece of card and colored with with markers. I created the background using inks and strips of tape, masking strips of the ATC until I had my pattern. Then I added the stamped image about a 1/3 of the way down. I used rubons to added the marks to the edges and the words directly under the image. The black butterfly was an acrylic piece I painted.
Flagstone Background in a different colors. Then I stamped around the edges with Tire Tracks Border. Finally, I stamped Flora from Mini Whimsical Birds 2 onto a piece of card, colored her with markers, then fussy cut her out. I positioned her so she was "standing" on the bottom border and added the Use Your Wings word sticker.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Until later....................

Wikipedia: Not worth getting fired over.
A few months ago, a bunch of congressional staffers got busted trying to screw around with Wikipedia. And today, the campaign manager for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Cathy Cox - a guy unfortunately named Morton Brilliant - has been fired after getting caught altering the Wikipedia biography of her opponent, Mark Taylor.
The shake up in Cox's gubernatorial campaign comes after Taylor's camp alleged Tuesday that Brilliant doctored Taylor's online Wikipedia profile to add information on his son's drunk driving arrest in an August 2005 accident left his best friend dead.
What's Wikipedia? Basically, it's an open source encyclopedia. Anybody can create and edit entries. Generally, it's been a big success at using vast armies of volunteers to create an encyclopedia several times larger than the Encyclopedia Brittanica or Microsoft's Encarta. (After all, would either of those have entries about the 2006 candidates for governor of Georgia?)
But that which makes it great also makes it weak. Anybody can create and edit entries. No surprise, that's an awful tempting target for political campaigns.
After last year's widely publicized Wikipedia scandal involving Kennedy aide John Siegenthaler (who was wrongly accused of killing RFK), the good folks at Wikipedia decided that they needed to do a better job of tracking who was making changes to encyclopedia entries - and to have the ability to ban them.
Here's the deal -- while it's a tempting target, it really doesn't matter. Do undecided voters visit the Wikipedia sites of candidates? No. All this "warfare" is akin to the lawn-sign wars engaged in by the interns. It's certainly not a prize worth getting fired over. It's not even worth the chance of a negative headline in your candidate's race that makes a campaign manager look like an immature twit.
Every community has rules. You wouldn't go streaking naked through the fancy downtown big-money club wearing only your candidate's bumper stickers. Don't screw around with Wikipedia in nefarious ways.
And yes, it's OK to correct factual errors - but really, seriously, don't get stupid. Rule #1 - don't get fired.

Mousey Magnets
I LOVE making magnets!! I started over the Christmas holidays and I have been making them ever since. Actually, I don't even really give cards anymore....well that isn't totally true. I still make cards, but now I put a magnet inside rather than a printed sentiment. These magnets were created for a client of mine who wanted something unique and personal to give to her bridesmaids. Each one was so much fun to create and the theme matches the personality of the bridesmaid it was created for! Thanks for looking!!
Labels: magnets

These magnets are so unique and cute, anyone would love to have one. I think your creativity is off the chain. Keep up the good work.

Raquel, these magnets look better than what i had envisioned them to be. My bridesmaids loved them and I loved seeing their reaction when they each opened up their personal envelope. Thank you for helping me in adding that special touch to each one of the magnets. These girls mean alot to me and your creativity and magical touch made it very special.

"I enjoy using the [LifeFacts]. I can pick and choose the lessons I feel are appropriate for my students." -Joanne Birnberf, Teacher
This edition of LifeFacts Social Skills Activities teaches your students smart strategies to identify when to offer trust, and when not to. Present critical skills to help your students avoid exploitation.
Provide your students with all the materials and information necessary to understand how to determine if trusting another person is a safe decision. Help your students avoid being gullible to financial, social, physical, and emotional exploitation by teaching them strategies to identify and when to offer trust and when not to. You'll cover the types of exploitation to which students with special needs are particularly vulnerable.
Part 1: Trust & Gullibility
In this section your students will meet "Gullible Gus." Gus is a well meaning but much too trusting teenager who is easily taken by people who exploit his gullibility. This lesson illustrates the dangers of being gullible and establishes the need for "SmartTrust."
Part 2: Practicing SmartTrust
In this section you'll define "SmartTrust" and teach your students the four questions to ask before deciding to trust. Your students will learn to apply specific criteria to: 1) decide to trust, 2) decide with caution, or 3) decide not to. Your students will practice using these criteria in a variety of situations including bullying, financial trickery, physical and emotional abuse, and more. Your students will also learn how to apply the this criteria when deciding to trust salespeople and service providers in the community. They'll learn to recognize common "compliance or persuasion traps" used by salespeople and how to defend against them.

Now, as to that "free" stuff we're always going on about around here. Today's free track comes from Vancouver's own Wake Owl. Now, once again, we find ourselves apologizing but this time it might not be our fault. As we know, international music rights are tricky. We found this track while checking out what iTunes was offering for free this week. Now, this song might be free in the United States (which is where I'm currently typing) and you might live in Canada. Maybe you live in the UK? Whatever. It doesn't matter. You might find that our little nugget of musical goodness isn't actually free in your country. If that's the case, find a friend in the US and have them grab it for you. You do have friends, right? Clicky clicky this link right here and get yourself some love.

Dave Mustaine with his band Megadeth, back in Luxembourg for yet another breathtaking live show! Mustaine, former member of Metallica, leads one of the biggest Thrash Metal acts of all times. Megadeth stands for Metal combined with complex musical craftsmanship and a cynical worldview. Mustaine always surrounds himself with talented players and, live on stage, this band is mind-blowing - fuelled by lightning fast riffs and long instrumental passages.

The show will feature the band's biggest hits, including some of their latest release, Super Collider.

One question that we hear often is:
Do we add member data in directly or do I have my members signup?
Most customers love the current implementation where members signup and manage their own information. Others want complete control and even want to add members manually and start communicating. So the question is: Who owns the data?
Can a system be designed that can be both a membership management system and a self-serve member communication tool? We think so. And we're taking steps now to be the best of both worlds.
Organization administrators can now manually add person records in their organization's management console. What this means is that you can now accurately reflect all the people in your organization. You can enter the profile information and upload their picture.
The next step will be to merge any offline person records with a real account should that person create a MemberHub profile. We'll be speaking with existing customers to gather feedback on how this should work.
If you're an administrator, check out the New Person button and let us know what you think!

Students of the Marsh Harbour School of Dance put on two outstanding performances of 'Frozen' at the Grace Gym on March 28. The young singers and actors did a remarkable job. They had obviously worked very hard in their preparation, their lines were perfectly recited, their acting convincing and their singing delightful.
Special kudos go to Elaine Pilon who did a tremendous job in training these young people and who had worked tirelessly as director, producer and choreographer. Mrs. Pilon was delighted with the performances and felt that this show was the best yet. In addition to the four previous shows she has produced in Marsh Harbour she has also produced many shows in the other countries where she has lived and worked.
She paid special tribute to her husband, Andre, whom she said she could not have put on the show without. He had single-handedly made all the backdrops and props, working on them five hours every day for the past three months. The backdrops and props included an icy castle, log cabins, giant icicles and even a sled in which characters were moved around the stage.
In charge of sound was Andrew Cartwright and makeup was done by April Parotti.
While Mrs. Pilon felt that this was the best show she had ever produced she admitted that she had also found it the most difficult since she had had to adapt a stage version from an animated film. The production by the Marsh Harbour School of Dance was an adaptation of the well-loved 2013 animated Disney musical film. It is primarily the story of two sisters, Anna and Elsa. Anna sets off on a dangerous and mysterious journey to bring back her sister, Queen Elsa, who has run into hiding since her magical powers caused an endless winter on her hometown. Anna teams up with rugged mountain man, Kristoff, and his loyal reindeer, Sven, to battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom. During their journey she meets many challenges and new friends such as Olaf an adorable talking snowman and a group of mystical trolls.
The beautiful and well-known song, 'Let it Go,' is a highlight of the movie and was performed beautifully during this stage production by Mykayla Marshall who was a perfect fit for the part of Elsa.
Her sister Anna was played by Racquel Albury who had a very large part which she also performed extremely well. Both young ladies looked very comfortable on stage and both are blessed with lovely voices which blended well together when showcased in a beautiful duet. It is impossible to mention by name all of the performers and their efforts, but suffice it to say that they all performed their parts, whether large or small, very well. Special mention should be made, however, to Joshua Higgs who brought a delightful touch of humour to the play in his portrayal of Olaf the adorable snowman.
The many trolls, who looked delightful in their red and green outfits with green faces, all seemed to take great delight in playing their parts. "We would love to do it all over again," they stated afterwards. "It was fun to dress up and have our faces made up and our hair done."
Following the performance, Elaine Pilon thanked all those who had played a part in accomplishing "a wonderful result ," and gave special mention to Agape School who, she said, had been absolutely wonderful in every way.

WVU's awarding-winning student newscast has new home on the Web
West Virginia University's award-winning student television newscast just added a new venue for viewers to watch its award-winning program.
"WVU News," a product of the P.I. Reed School of Journalism, recently launched a new website for the weekly, student-produced news program. Last month, it was named best student newscast in the country by the Broadcast Education Association.
The site provides School of Journalism students another opportunity to publish their work. It includes not only the latest weekly newscast, but also a Producers' Blog, Twitter feed, student crew information, additional video clips and more.
In coordination with School of Journalism staff, the site was developed by a group of former "WVU News" students who saw the value of expanding the program beyond a weekly newscast.
Paul King, a broadcast news senior who helped develop the website, said it will allow students to showcase their talents.
"It's a way to display what the students are learning in an effective way that engages an audience with a brand new site that not many other schools have," said King. "It's great to have another outlet for our show and all of the hard work the students put into it."
In addition to being available via the new website, "WVU News" airs statewide on West Virginia PBS as part of "Campus Connection" and is available on the School of Journalism's YouTube page and WVU's iTunesU.
Check http://wvutoday.wvu.edudaily for the latest news from the University. Follow @WVUToday on Twitter.

Sorry to hear that the rusty yellow (and blue!) walker mob did not fare so well this year. I was busy at work (and for HoneyDo LLC ), and did not get around to wishing you a stomping good time. Are you planning on posting your usual batreps?
P.S. Big Blue is an impressive beast. Well done!!
Posted 03 September 2018 - 07:37 PM
Thanks buddy! I could do one bat rep right now.
Was put up vs fish'ead. Rolled hammer and anvil (gulp). No large los blockers (not large enough for knights). Charged up as quick as I could (got 6 and 5 advances). Did zero damage turn 1. fish'ead player destroyed 2.5 knights his turn. I tried to blow up the objective, didn't do enough damage with 1 mork, the boss, mek, and two buggies. Was annihilated in the ensuing firing phase.
Fellow then taught me kill team, and we played a kill team match on the same board. Orks won that one .
But yes, the notable bat reps are the first game (orks vs nids) quite good. The team game above was streamed, and I have one with orks + daemons vs deathwatch and knights, and orks vs daemons. (other player was fish'ead again, and tabled me with a 40 inch move from a super commander thing).
I'll have photos and reps in a few days. Oooh that reminds me.
Here are the photos from the event I took!

I order most of my paints online. I have no local stores that sell the paints I want. I've swapped a majority to P3's, which you can get in the box sets rather cheaply. P3 pig iron is amaaazing.

Thanks greggles, for your concise list of pigments/color recipe. I hope you enjoyed the 'City of Light'. It would have been humorous if you could have managed a photo of the nob lopping off the top of the Eiffel Tower with his pk.
Posted 03 October 2018 - 07:59 AM
For my death skulls, I skip the yellow wash on the tabards, and use Secret weapon blue wash instead. (that's on the nob and warboss). Paris was wonderful. We already miss it. The nob also visited the arc .

Retirement Isn't Out of Reach for Student Debtors, Says Ameritech Financial
ROHNERT PARK, Calif., July 12, 2018 (Newswire.com) - One of the biggest draws for many to attend college is the dream of financial security that lasts well into retirement. Unfortunately, with rising education costs, this dream is shaky for many without taking out a student loan. Based on research conducted by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, student loans are a double-edged sword for graduates when it comes to saving for retirement; while they're more likely to do better financially than their non-graduate peers, graduates with loans are far less likely to invest in their retirement than those without loans. Ameritech Financial is a private document preparation company that assists federal student loan borrowers with applying for federal income-driven repayment plans (IDRs). These plans could mitigate financial stress from student loans.
A dataset study was conducted that followed 9,000 teenagers who were born between 1980 and 1984, consisting of both college graduates and non-graduates. While graduates made up slightly less than half of the sample, they carried 71% of the student debt. The researchers followed up with the teens annually, and the results were startling: graduates with debt accumulated 50% less retirement wealth by the time they were 30. The size of the student loan didn't appear to impact retirement savings; even graduates with small loans had fewer retirement assets than their peers with no student loan debt.
"Many young adults today see retirement as something that is now out of reach," stated Tom Knickerbocker, Executive Vice President of Ameritech Financial. "I've heard it many times, particularly from millennials; it's become almost a clichéd lament among them. I believe many of them are simply so discouraged by their debt, they don't realize they have options."
Many young adults today see retirement as something that is now out of reach.
The study suggests that graduates with debt divert their focus from planning for the future to paying off the debt they have now, impacting them greatly not only in terms of retirement but also with other assets. Larger amounts of student debt contribute to constraints on credit, making it much harder for graduates to purchase a home. Having lower financial wealth and net worth also makes it harder to make loan payments, leading to missed payments and potential bankruptcy. Many graduates may forgo investing in their 401ks entirely, or invest so little that they don't contribute enough to fully take advantage of the employer match.
By utilizing income-driven repayment plans for federal student loans, graduates can hopefully redirect more of their paycheck to their 401ks, diversifying where their income goes to achieve multiple financial objectives.
"At Ameritech Financial, our goal is to help students as they work to achieve more financial freedom and plan for their future," said Knickerbocker. "Why should you have to choose one over the other?"
About Ameritech Financial
Ameritech Financial is a private company located in Rohnert Park, California. Ameritech Financial has already helped thousands of consumers with financial analysis and student loan document preparation to apply for federal student loan repayment programs offered through the Department of Education.
Each Ameritech Financial telephone representative has received the Certified Student Loan Professional certification through the International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators (IAPDA).

When writing my recent article about doppelgangers, one of the example stories I came across was concerning a German poet who met himself travelling along a road. Some years later he realised that was travelling along the same road in the opposite direction and was wearing the clothes that his doppelganger had been wearing. This story could quite equally be used as example of a time slip and it isn't the only one.
Famous time slips
A time slip is something more than just deva vu, that fleeting feeling that we have been or seen something before. A time slip is a full-on experience that defies other explanation and one of the most famous examples comes from the turn of the last century.
The year is 1901 and Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain were taking a visit to the famous Palace of Versailles in France. Jourdain was living in Paris at the time and they were preparing to both start working in St Hugh's College, a women's college in the Oxford University. They decided to visit the palace while still in France and were walking around the grounds when they realised they were a bit lost. They spoke to some gardeners who told them to continue on the path they were on to get to where they were heading.
They did this but suddenly became aware that everything seemed strange, unnatural. The buildings around them seemed to look as if from a woodwork or a tapestry with no effect of light and shade and the breeze that had stirred the trees had vanished. One of them was overcome with a strange sense of glom as they entered a part of the gardens. They suddenly saw a man they said was 'repulsive' with rough skin sitting near a kiosk. Both realised that this man closely resembled a historical figure known as the Comte de Vaudreuil, an 18th century nobleman and close friend of Queen Marie Antoinette.
They continued to walk, being told by a handsome man with flushed cheeks to stay to the right and not go to the left. They followed his instructions and came across a woman sitting in old fashioned dress, sketching. Moberly said she looked at the woman, who returned her stare and seemed annoyed at the interruption – the woman looked just like Marie Antoinette herself.
Another young man appeared and directed them to the entrance hall of the palace where a wedding party was taking place. They enjoyed themselves for a while, their feeling of gloom dissipating and were even taken home in a carriage. Both felt they had had a strange experience but weren't sure exactly why.
The next day they returned to the palace grounds and were shocked when landmarks were missing. None of the people they had seen were present and staff said there had been no event the previous day.
The two ladies wrote a book on their experiences and some have suggested that rather than a time slip, they experienced a dress up party. But surely, staff would have known the party was taking place? And what are the odds that guests looked so much like real historical figures?
Bold Street
Here in the UK, we have a time slip hotspot of sorts and it is found in Bold Street, Liverpool. The street is well known for its cafes and the Church of St Luke is located at the top while the bottom leads to Clayton Square and the main shopping area of the city. It seems it is also home to a reoccurring time slip.
According to reports in the Liverpool Echo and the Parascience website, people seem to walk up and down the street and experience a glimpse of the past. One such example was in 2006 when a thief was running down the street to avoid a security guard and glanced over his shoulder to see his pursuer had vanished. At the same time, he noticed that the cars on the street were older than he would expect and that people were dressed oddly. He saw a newspaper lying around and was astounded to see the date as 1967. He continued up Ranelagh Street and was relieved to see everything return to normal – but glancing back down Bold Street, he could still see the 1960s cars and people. He told his story to the newspaper and the details he gave such as shop locations did match to the time period. The guard also confirmed that the man had disappeared from in front of him.
Another example was from a woman on the street who saw a new shop and went inside to investigate. Pleasantly surprised with the low prices, she filled her basket but couldn't pay because the shop owner looked puzzled when she offered her credit card. As she didn't have enough cash she left her shopping behind. When telling her mother that night about the experience, she was shocked to be told the shop had closed long ago and there was now a bank in the spot.
Vanishing house
Mysterious Universe has a case from Ponca City, Oklahoma of three men who were to pick up a feeder from a field in 1971. They opened the gate to the property, which was unlocked and had no barbed wire drove up the drive, which had waist high grass on either side. When they reached the tank, close to a red barn, they realised it was too heavy to lift. They decided to leave it and drove around the barn to turn, spotting a large two story white house with no lights on.
The owner of the tank agreed to empty the tank partially so the men were sent back the next night to collect it. They decided to check out the abandoned house while they were there. Arriving on the property, they noted that the grass had been cut down during the day. They loaded the tank and drove around the barn towards the house but were shocked to see it wasn't there. Not only that but there were no signs that it had ever been – no foundations, no signs of demolition.
Some of the biggest names in physics have said that time slips are perfect possible including Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. We just don't have the technology to make them happen at this point but that isn't to say that nature can't do the job for us by itself, when we least expect it.

Best Cricketers of all Time
The Top Ten
No doubt Tendulkar is the best cricketer of all time, he is the god of cricket, I think don bradman is also a great cricket but when compare with sachin he is no match to him, of course bradman played with no helmet on the head but at that time bowlers are not bowled such fast to him and also pitch conditions are batting friendly and fielding standards are improved a lot better when compared with olden days. Even the bradman praises his batting
A great cricketers have one or two records in their names but tendulkar breaks all the records made by them so sachin = all the great cricketers.
In india sachin is god and cricket is a religion and this religion spreads all over the world by the god sachin tendulkar.
Even great players like lara, warne and hayden etc worship him as a god of cricket
He starts his cricket carrer at the age of 16 and he faces all time great bowlers of world at that time with no fear and it shows greatness of a greatman
Don Bradman may have been good but think of it this way. When that guy was playing bowlers had no techineque, they just tried to hit the stumps or whatever. And he only played test matches against Australia. But Sachin, come on the guy played much more teams and faced much more bowlers. and he has bashed them all
Sachin means cricket and Cricket means Sachin. Jai Hind!
As one would like, he is the living University of cricket and others are students of that University.

bradman the best ever he had a batting average of 99.86 and no one is even close and he has a cricket bat that is worth 14,999 dollars he does hold the record for highest batting average check guiness world records 2010 69 years and counting NO ONE WILL EVER BE BETTER THAN HIM
Bradman was excellent despite having really only played against England mostly. He was a ruthless captain particularly on the 1948 tour to England. He wasn't in the best of health generally but what a player. He was quick on his feet and had a great drive. He also played on pitches not covered so again enough said.
Bradman can't be compare with any other batsmen irrespective of any era.
Nobody can compare his:
Batting average
Facing Bodyline series
One of the best Captain
Reached average of 50 with his 3rd innings, and stayed above 50 for the rest of his career
Scored 309 in one day
More runs than opponents. At the Gabba in 1947/48, Bradman scored 185, while India was bowled out for 58 and 98, so losing to Bradman by an innings
He was run out only once - abhay_ibs
I think sir Donald Bradman is the best batsman with an incredible 99.94 and Sachin Tendulkar is no match for himV 36 Comments
He is the best captain of Pakistan ever I have seen. He has the world record of 100 runs of 37 balls. That's why we called him boom boom. I am the biggest fan of shahid afridi. From my childhood I like him. Shahid vai we like you.
Great player... He still holds the record of fastest century with over 6000 runs in ODIs & over 300 wickets. He displayed a very impressive bowling performance in world cup 2011 as well.
Afridi Lagging behind any other cricketer on earth is like saying the sun rises from the west instead of the east. He is not only a marvel at his skill but an excellent sportsman, gentleman and all rounder not only in all formats of the game but of his life too. The most unorthodox entry in cricket and certainly the most entertaining one.
Boom boom all time favoriteV 59 Comments
One of the best spin bowler the world has ever seen. His performances have made Australia the best cricketing nation of the world he will be remembered as the best spin bowler ever and will be a inspiration for teen cricketers
Ha no doubt the best legspinner in the world cricket arena. The man who has bowled the Ball of the century. Undoubtedly he is the best ever spinner anyone can see!
Brilliant player no doubt and magic to watch. Pity he never scored that century but footage shows he was dismissed on a no ball. His bowling was all class.
Should be either #3 or #2 behind Bradman - micahisthebestV 8 Comments
he has the highest individual score the world record in test and first clao and is also a match winner, one of the greatest batsman ever
Lara is undoubtedly the best, his records are proof.
He was just the best, and his record speaks for it self. He help make west indies better and got the hiestest indevidual score not once but two times, who can beat that mabe another west Indian
He is good but not as don bradman luccha mentalV 6 Comments
He is the best Indian captain ever and the owner of the helicopter shot and he can also bat well and he is off break bowler but now heis not bowling he is the best keeper ever.
MS Dhoni is the best captain ever. What man hit 224 runs against Australia in Border Gavaskar trophy 2013.
The best captain ever.
Coolest captain that India had ever had.
Best wicket keeper.
Brilliant batsman who is the own er of helicopter shot.
Intelligent, handsome and simpl
He is superb. He should be the captain of Indian team for the next 1000 yrs.
I think dhoni would be in 2 and position after sachinV 65 Comments
He never wore a helmet and played in an era of great fast bowling, when fast bowlers were not limited to 1 bouncer an over. Had a Test Batting ave. Of 50 and a strike rate of 70. An absolute fearless genius unlike the modern batmen covered in full armor.
West indian master piece batsmens, whom was always a nightmare for bowlers, his one hand contributions made a great part of Caribbean dominance at 1975-1983
Got every bowlers and fielders tired by his amazing batting
A real champion. No helmet, chewing gum and swaggering to the crease to smash Lillee around. Talking of Lillee-why isn't the best fast bowler in history not on it? When we talk of Lillee, we are talking king of kings in fast bowling ranks.V 2 Comments
class act. he is the all time great bowler in cricket history
Sri lankan off spinning legend whom holds the record of most number of wickets in cricket. He is well known for his doosra
He is the best spin bowler in the world
The best bowler everV 4 Comments
The greatest because he made heaps of runs and competed with sachin while being a captain. Sachin was never a good captain. He wilts under pressure. He scores when all is well. Ponting made century is world cup final. Sachin can never handle pressure.
this list sucks... ricky ponting should be on the top... he is easily better than sachin... and who the hell puts afridi in top 10 he should be the last one... improve it man...
He is the all time greatest all round cricketer of all time in terms of skills, intelligence and wits. No one can match the prowess Ponting posses.
The best cricketer of all time in terms of overall performance full stopV 7 Comments
An impressive cricketer for the young cricket fans.
Fabulous cricketer and captain who leads his country from front with his game and also by reply.
Young and superb cricketer and future captain of India

Adam Gilchrist is known as the best wicket-keeper batsman of all time. He has the highest strike rate in all the three formats. He is also the most impressive cricketer ever. His each and every shot is unforgettable. He is the best ever.
Adam gilchrist all ways is my favourite he should be in a much better position then sachin. A much better player
HE SHOULD BE IN number 1 POSITION. You don't know anything about cricket. IF YOU KNOW HE SHOULD NOT BE IN NO.14.
2nd greatest player of all timeV 5 Comments
Sunil Manohar Gavaskar was an Indian opener, a great captain. He was the best opener of 70, S.
He is the best cricket player of all time. Against the west indies, he showed that no one can frustrate him. He was known as little master, because he was 5'6" and and an amazing batsman.
C'mon. Dont place him here. He has broken Bradman's record
Sunil Narine is a Sunil Bowler, Gavaksar is a Sunil BatsmanV 2 Comments
Glenn McGrath, the most intelligent bowler ever.
Class. Perfect technique and menacing pace at times. He could also hit that 5 cent piece on the same spot every ball. Wonderful player. - smithy
No bowler was ever more accurate than him
Michael Clarke should at least be in the top 5 grea captain
He should be no. 1
He has great ability
One the greatest test players of all time and India's best player abroad. He is the wall, one of the best defenders of all time.
He is the wall of Indian cricket if he stands to bat no bowler can take his wicket he is greatest player of all time
Rahul Dravid is one of my best cricket player in the IPL. His bating is really superb, mind blowing and unbelievable. I treat him as my cute brother. I will be more satisfied if he continues playing in IPL.
Guys he should be no. 2 after donV 9 Comments
He is the unsung hero I guess. There should be a list for all time fielders also because fielding is the one that win matches many times...
The no 1 fielder. No 30 Batsmen. No 1 cricketer HE ROCKS OO!
He is the best fielder ever...
Rhodes is the best fielder of all time.V 3 Comments
Don't forget, he's the first man to hit 6 6s in 1 over.
By a mile the best ever. Amazing batsman, bowled EVERYTHING from spin, swing, seam, you name it. - sloanies
My all time favourite all rounder and he is only one who hit 6 sixes in an over in test cricket
Truly the best if you evaluate complete sport. Batting, bowling and fielding.V 2 Comments
He is a brilliant spinner
He know what is his job and he perform his job very well
Spin Master. He delivers the ball magically! Inventor of the TEESRA
Saed ajmal is the best bowler of the world. He is best as he bowl the doosra and now he has invented the teesra. So vote him
The nawab of najafgarh is an awesome batsman & an underrated bowler with a calm & cool head
One of most aggressive player in history of cricket
An excellent batsmen at the top of the order. The greatest explosive batsmen that I have known, good and attentive in the field. Virender sehwag is an outstanding cricketer all-round.
This man opened up the doors for the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and Raina, in the sense that Indians were no longer seen for their submissive and slow batting but rather coming out with a bang with full aggression. More than his stats, he will always be remembered as the best entertainer of his times.V 9 Comments
The second best all-rounder ever from Australia.
What an allrounder, he hit 12 sixes in a match against Bangladesh

What An Allrounder... 434 Test Wickets At A Time When Bowlers Dreaming Of 200 Wickets. - tayal5001
Please be serious, must be at 4th position over Stupid Dale Steyn and Stupid Shahid Afridi and Stupid Shakib al hasan and shane watson etc.
Kapil dev is a great player he has to be in 2nd or 1st position
Kapil dev could just bowl every ball to stump and get wickets
Don't forget he was voted as sexiest man alive by an Autralian magazine.
He tried his hardest and became the lion of cricket
Invisible and the truth.
A legend!V 5 Comments
I agree with Raghav, he should be in first position!
He is a fantastic example of how to behave both as a man and a first class cricketer, kind, respectful and completely brilliant!
Kumar Sangakkara is not just Sri Lankas best batsman and keeper he is a true gentle man I know because I am from Sri Lanka and from his home town
A legend that SL cricket team can never forgetV 4 Comments
The best skipper we have ever had. You would be wise to consider him the very best in many ways. He is a real champion. His cut shots were excellent and he was a great spinner as well. - smithy
He is a player with a huge responsibility for his team and country. He's both a good and economical bowler in shorter version and the striker bowler in test matches. In IPL he's the only man playing seriously from BD. With bat he played many match winning innings. He is now in the 1'st position in ICC all-rounder ranking in OID.
He should be in number 1 at least in the list of top 3
He is the best cricketer of all time because he is the man who has taken Bangladesh cricket up to a flayer. He is the alone solder for BD. I don't see any particular player who has given so much for his country. When he will finish his career he will be in the chart of best of all times insha-allah
He is the number one player he is better than sachin tendulkerV 1 Comment

He is the best. I saw on a list that he was the one of the best cricketers ever. He hit many sixers and can take wickets easily.
He is a world class cricketer I don't know who made this list he should have been in the top 10
He hit so many 6's. He has got 350 before, and not many players can do that, so he is the best
Warner is the most exciting cricket player of all time. He can hit the ball a heck of a long way, he is so amazing
Nobody can hit as forcefully as Warner!

One of the highlights of summer in the Barcelona area is without doubt the Festa Major de Sitges, which in 2018 is celebrated between Friday 17th and Friday 24th August.
The week-long festival draws massive crowds to Sitges and the lovely coastal resort is even more vibrant than usual.
The festival is well-known for its traditional activities, such as the Entrada de Gralles, the Sortida dels Dues, the Processió de Bandera and the Castell de Focs, most of which take place during what are known as the 36 hours.
This is the climax of the festa and straddles the 23rd and 24th August, which is the Saints Day of Sant Bartomeu apòstol, who is the patron saint of Sitges and the excuse for the festival in the first place.
The traditional activities are so impressive that the Festa Major de Sitges has been declared an event of national interest by the Generalitat of Catalonia.
There are also a wide range of activities, including family events, performances and conserts and you can consult the Full Programme on the Official Festa Major website.
If you think there's been an oversight or you can provide more more detail about a particular event, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Please complete the form below. You can also upload photos and images, by the way.

App Store Description
Does the size of your wardrobe rival the size of the inventories of many stores? Do you have a hard time recalling even 10% of the items that your closet holds? Does deciding what to pack or what to wear cause your cortisol level to soar?
If so, this app is for you. This app will enable you to navigate your wardrobe with the ease with which you're used to navigating an online store.
The app allows you to add photos and descriptions of your wardrobe items and to organize those items by creating as many custom categories as you please. Then, in addition to serving as a helpful reminder of the vast array of wardrobe choices already at your fingertips, the app lets you combine wardrobe items to compose and save outfits for future use - thus turning the app into your own personalized and practical "sartorial recipe book".
And if planning one outfit can sometimes feel daunting - planning a multi-day packing list can be even more so. So, next time you're faced with a fast approaching trip, reach for your iPad - not sweets & chips. This app makes it easy to build and save packing lists, rendering packing for travel - much more of a breeze.
With this app, you can not only plan for the future but can also catalog the past by keeping a date & time stamped journal of the how, when, where and with whom - you wore what.
And, in case you're wondering how easy it is to add data to the app, if you have ever completed a form at a doctor's office - it is as simple as that. Just fill in the blanks plus add lots of photos (and watch your digital wardrobe expand).
No time to inventory your inventory? No problem - this app was designed with that in mind. The app makes it easy to outsource this task, since you don't need to part with your iPad to accomplish that (in fact, uploading your wardrobe might be a nice little side job to offer to any budding fashionistas in your life!). Conveniently, the app allows you to export/import data to/from one or more Dropbox accounts. So, you and your designated helper can share the app's data through any Dropbox account of your choice.
So, how else does this app differ from the (many) wardrobe apps available on the App Store? This app is geared towards users who value simplicity over an abundance of bells & whistles and who prize a straightforward user interface - one where all of the app's functions are readily on display and users are not forced to dig through layers and layers of screens to retrieve information or upload a pair of jeans. Of course, in order for an app to accomplish such a feat, there's no two ways about it - it requires an iPad's bigger screen. This app is designed especially for the iPad so that (just like in a dream walk-in closet) everything is in plain view - thus ensuring that the app's many features are actually put to use.

"The State Lottery is Almost a Sure Bet: You'll Lose"
San Jose Mercury News
By Timothy Taylor
<< Back to 1990 menu
THE California lottery is a thorn under my skin, an itch I can't scratch,
a blister that won't heal, a constant irritation to me. The parade of news stories
about jackpots and winning numbers makes me tense and peevish, because I see the
lottery as inherently deceptive and predatory.
My friends who play the lottery find this attitude a bit quirky, but they're
inured to a certain amount of quirkiness on my part. For them, the lottery is
a minor indulgence. They buy a few tickets when they think of it, or when the
Lotto jackpot gets particularly high.
But the lottery doesn't make its money from the average player. The 10.8 million
households in
California bought $2.8 billion worth of lottery tickets last year, for an average
purchase of $260. However, that average includes many who never buy a ticket.
About half of lottery sales are made to just 10 percent of households, and two-thirds
of sales are made to 20 percent of households, according to "Selling Hope:
State Lotteries in America," a just-published book by Charles T. Clotfelter
and Philip J. Cook of Duke University.
These estimates imply that about a million California households are spending
an average of $1,300 a year on lottery tickets, which qualifies as more than a
harmless diversion.
The heavy players aren't mainly Gucci and Rolex types who can easily afford
the losses, either. Clotfelter and Cook cite evidence that a heavy player is at
least as likely to be poor as to be rich.
In general, the lottery hits the poor more heavily than other ways the state
has of collecting revenue. Economists classify a tax as regressive if the percentage
of income going to the tax declines as income rises. A 6 percent sales tax is
regressive, for example, because a poor household that spends all its money pays
the 6 percent on all of its income, while a higher income household that spends
only half its income (and invests the rest) pays 6 percent on half its income,
or 3 percent on its total income. According to a variety of economic studies,
a lottery is about twice as regressive as a sales tax.
Christopher Schmitt, a Mercury News reporter, documented the regressivity of
the California lottery in an article published last May. He compared the sales
of lottery tickets by zip code district to the average incomes of people in those
districts. He found that sales per resident of poor districts were twice as high
as sales in more affluent districts.
But at least the suckers volunteer to contribute their money, right? Probably
not; not if "voluntary" is defined as a matter of informed consent,
understanding the odds and payoffs, rather than as a matter of being enticed by
unrealistic fantasies.
For example, consider the odds of winning Lotto, the game which accounts for
nearly three-quarters of lottery sales. Lotto involves choosing six numbers between
1 and 49, and the odds of choosing correctly are approximately 1 in 14 million.
Do you have a firm grip on how large 14 million is? Let's say that the newspaper
were to print all 14 million combinations of six numbers. It prints them five
columns per page, 160 lines per column. How many pages will it take to print all
14 million combinations?
On a typical weekday, this newspaper might have 72 pages, including the classified
ads. Let's assume that the Sunday paper is twice as big. At that rate, it would
take seven months worth of newspapers, 17,500 pages filled top to bottom with
nothing but combinations of lottery numbers, to list all 14 million choices. Pile
up your newspapers until next August, and then contemplate the stack and your
odds of winning.
Or remember the pathetic story of the fellow who took out a $20,000 loan to
buy Lotto tickets. Betting on 20,000 numbers raised his odds from 1 in 14 million
to 1 in 700. In other words, if he had played $20,000 every week for 700 weeks
(13 years, 6 months) he would on average win once. But of course, anyone who spends
$14 million on lottery tickets will on average win once.
To add a bit more challenge, Lotto will add four numbers later this spring,
so that it will involve choosing six numbers between 1 and 53. The number of combinations
will then expand to 23 million, or enough to fill the newspaper for nearly a full
If you are blessed enough to hit the right combination out of that truckload
of newsprint, you'll find that the announced Lotto prize overstates its actual
value. The announced prize is before tax, and federal income tax will take 28
percent off the top. In addition, the announced prize involves some disingenuous
fiddling with time.
Here's how: Imagine that someone owed you $100. They offer to pay you by putting
$37 in a savings account. They explain that over 20 years at 5 percent interest,
the $37 will have grown to $100, and you'll have your money. This would be a self-evident
fraud; you don't have to be an accountant to recognize you aren't getting the
$100 you were promised.
But the lottery announces its prizes not as an amount that you'll receive today,
but as the sum of delayed payments. A $5 million Lotto jackpot, for example, is
actually $250,000 a year for 20 years, before taxes. But as the previous example
illustrates, $100 dollars received a decade or two from now isn't worth as much
as cash in hand today. A rule of thumb is that the announced value of the Lotto
jackpot should be discounted by two-thirds to adjust for the tax bite and the
fact that the payments are delayed.
Now, overstating the value of the prizes may not seem like a big deal. One-third
of an announced $10 million jackpot is still real money. But it's clear that big
jackpots attract more players, which gives the lottery an incentive to overstate
the size of jackpots. By announcing the sum of payments made over 20 years, before
tax, they are doing their best to exaggerate without actually lying.
But at least the lottery raises money for California education, right? Well,
sort of. The lottery will contribute about $1 billion to education this year,
but it's not clear whether this is additional money for education funding, or
whether the lottery is just freeing up funds to be used elsewhere.
For example, total state spending on education (including the general fund,
bond funds, special fund and lottery money) was about 47 percent of total state
spending both this year and in 1984-85, the year before the lottery started, according
to a spokesman at the state Department of Finance. It's very difficult to demonstrate
convincingly that lottery funds have actually increased spending on education,
largely because it's hard to say what would have happened to education spending
if the lottery hadn't been adopted.
In addition, the lottery does not provide a huge amount of money in relation
to the size of the California budget.
Governor Deukmejian's recent budget lists $29 billion in education spending
from all sources (four-fifths of it for K- 12). The $1 billion in lottery money
is 3.4 percent of that amount. The lottery raises about as much money as the state
tobacco tax, or about as much as would be raised by an increase of one-third of
1 percent in the state sales tax.
It's terribly ironic that the lottery was promoted as a way to benefit education,
when classes in math and statistics and economics would strongly discourage people
from believing in lucky numbers. It's as if the state sold horoscopes and magic
crystals to finance science classes, or sponsored showings of "Gone With
The Wind" to finance instruction in black studies.
I'm not opposed to legalized gambling. Although I personally would rather visit
the dentist than Las Vegas, I can accept that others have different preferences.
But it nags at my gut that the state of California doesn't just allow gambling,
but promotes it.
In Deukmejian's most recent budget, lottery expenses for "advertising,
promotion, and public relations" total $83 million, but that promotional
budget is probably less important than the television and radio and newspaper
coverage of lottery winners. Every drawing is a mini-drama, and every winner is
a custom-made human interest story.
Of course, it's a bit tougher to interview the thousands of people who lost
hundreds or thousands of dollars. But since the lottery pays out only half of
what it takes in, every headline about a dollar won represents the missing story
of two dollars lost by others.
The California lottery pushes its product, aiming at increased participation
and sales every year. Deukmejian's budget notes that Lotto and Scratchers "have
reached maturity and will be freshened with new features to sustain sales levels."
Through the lottery, state government relies on encouraging the poor and those
with a gambling problem to lose their money at a game with terrible odds and overstated
jackpots. I don't ask that the lottery be abolished. But instead of measuring
success by increased lottery revenues, I think the lottery should be counted a
success when Californians become realistic enough to reduce the number of tickets
they buy, and responsible enough to find other ways of financing education.

Rare Test Drive Review Of Longer Range 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf In NA – Video
Volkswagen e-Golf tested by Model 3 Owners Club???
The Model 3 Owners Club found and tested the 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf in Canada, which is equipped with a larger battery pack that holds nearly 50% more energy than the previous version (35.8 kWh compared to 24.2 kWh – the first longer range copies arrive in September in the US).
The range improved from 83 miles up to 125 miles (200 km) under the EPA test cycle (and 300 km NEDC). Range gets a further boost thanks to the use of a heat pump.
According to the review, the new e-Golf is very fine car to drive. It's quiet, smooth and has excellent fit and finish.
The only problem with the e-Golf is that Volkswagen is a few years behind the cutting edge as the new goal for 2017-2018 electric cars is 200 mile of range or so.
"In this segment we take the brand new 2018 VW E-GOLF for a Test drive. Please note this is the Canadian version so it might differ from the US version."
"Base price for the E-Golf in Canada is $35,999. The tech package is $2300 and so is the drive assistance package. Custom colours over the standard 9 cost an additional $2900. In Ontario after the $14,000 rebate, will result in a base net cost of just under $26,700 after taxes. Not bad at all!"

That convoluted mess of a battery pack is what you get when you adapt an ICE car into an EV. This is why a dedicated EV platform makes so much sense.
Dedicated EV platform Leaf also lacks thermal management, just like eGolf.
What is needed is better engineering. If they can make complicated mess called ICE work and pass emissions (which is a miracle of modern engineering), they can certainly squeeze in batteries.
Unfortunately, eGolf engineering isn't all that great. $35K for over 3 seconds slower to 60 than Bolt and lacks active thermal management for the batteries? It's a no-go, especially with new Leaf by later this year.
No thermal management is better if you can get away with it. It's just like dropping the transmission for less complexity.
The first gen LEAF could not get away with it, but the second gen did better. Hopefully the third green will have it licked.
I've seen reports on the various Leaf owner groups that the 30kWh batteries aren't holding up much better than the first-gen 24kWh models did.
Leaf battery management system really seems like garbage. It's ironic that Nissan despite being a "leader" for many years seems to have fallen so woefully behind. Granted, it could partially be because there are so many more Leafs, but it seems like their batteries do not hold up as well as basically anyone else's.
My 2016 30 kWh Leaf was built back on 10/2015. Mileage is at 11 K and NO noticeable drop (leaf spy pro) in battery capacity. Still a full 28 kWh are accessible and useable, of the full 30 kWh battery.
Your use may vary, like my 2013 Leaf 24 kWh battery (four years old). Now down to less than 19 kWh useable after 46 K miles/ 54 months. A drop of around 14-15% (LSP) of capacity (one bar down).
Thank you William! Please keep us updated on your Leaf battery. Very important info.
Except you can't get away with it. Even if you can get away with it in some use cases it won't work if you want to DCFC multiple times in a day. Because the pack won't cool off between, so each subsequent charge is slower and potentially more damaging to the pack.
The current LEAF suffers from this and if it doesn't get active liquid cooling the next one will also.
"No thermal management is better if you can get away with it. It's just like dropping the transmission for less complexity."
No, it's not like that at all.
Not only does the lack of an active thermal management system prevent the Leaf from being a good car to drive in hot climates, it also prevents the car from charging very fast at DCFCs.
Now, that's not to say this will always be the case. If and when EV maker start using solid state batteries, with lower internal resistance and thus not overheating when fast charging or fast discharging, then perhaps EVs will no longer need battery cooling systems.
But so long as plug-in EVs are using the current type of li-ion batteries, they definitely need an active cooling system.
They can make an air cooled pack with less fade but they don't. Anyone who has designed electronics with air cooling can do a better job.
For some reason the eGolf batteries hold out very well. I don't fast charge so mine of course has 0 degradation after more than a year but i have yet to see any reports of problems on the forums from others that do.
The new range is not that bad but with the new leaf given much needed plastic surgery the eGolf may be dead. I still like the design of the eGolf better but not enough to pay more and give up 20-30 miles of range.
With my e-Golf, I'm pretty sure that sometimes when it's charging a fan comes on. I think the e-Golf may have some sort of forced air cooling for the battery, even if it doesn't have liquid cooling. The problem with the Leaf is I don't think it has anything at all.
It's true that it's not a dedicated BEV platform, but it's also not an adapted ICE platform. The current Golf was designed to take multiple different drivetrains. It's no Bolt, but it's a better car than most of the compliance models.
It's an adapted ICE platform. Sure, they said it was designed with EV power in mind, but the proof is in the pudding. Look at the results. It takes no advantage of the inherent advantages of BEVs and doesn't fit the needed components in very well.
Heck, even a Bolt is an adapted ICE platform and it at least takes enough advantage to have a flat floor in the back and a proper trunk (including a wheel well below and a basement in between).
It's a compromise. Just like a Swiss Army knife, it can do several things, but none of them particularly well.
Using a "multi-drivetrain" platform may not be as bad as the Ford Focus, shoving a battery pack into the trunk, but it's also not the way to make a truly competitive PEV (Plug-in EV).
Compelling, competitive PEVs are designed from the ground up.
Golf platform was designed to accommodate EV drivetrains from the start. It doesn't look as "clean" as the skateboard-style design of a Tesla or Bolt EV, but there are benefits to shaping the battery pack to fit the car and by extension passengers. For one, rear seat passesngers get an actual footwell and good thigh support — no awkward knees-in-the-face seating position of a Tesla or Bolt EV, which have high floors.
The Bolt EV does not have a high floor nor are your knees in your face.
You should check one out some time.
The floor in a Bolt EV is much lower than that of a BMW i3 even though the ground clearance is higher!
I know you assume that since Tesla has a high floor and an i3 does that you can't make an EV with a below-floor battery and the floor at a normal level but I guess Chevy didn't get the same memo.
Right. Tesla cars don't have limited rear headroom because the higher floor forces that; they have limited headroom because Tesla insists on designing cars which slope sharply at the back to reduce drag.
It's a choice by the car designer, not a limitation of the skateboard platform. I have no doubt that over the next few years we will see skateboard PEVs with straight roof lines and plenty of rear seat headroom, just as many current SUVs and CUVs have.
It's not an elegant shape, but does that matter so much? The biggest problem right now is the range still isn't there. However, VW may be on to something here, because as energy density increases 200 miles will basically come to them, rather than them having to design for it.
Within 5 years the battery capacity in the same area should put the e-Golf in the high 100s. It's not as good as a dedicated EV platform, but it may be good enough.
Would have been great if it was launched in 2015…..
True to VW's history. They were 2 years behind Nissan with the first eGolf, and they are 2 years behind with the upgrade. Ford, interestingly enough, is right between them, following Nissan by a year with both the original Focus EV and the 33kWh upgrade.
Big European automakers overslept the dawn of e-mobility, regarding both cars and buses.
OK, for buses it is not the case in some Eastern-Central countries, above all in Poland: see Solaris Urbino 12 Electric being Euroepean Bus of the Year 2017!
There is no cool and affordable e-car available with a range of even approaching 350 km. The "longer range" i.e. brand new e-Golf is no exeption: <36kWh capacity is no quantum leap, even compared to 24kWh of the previous e-Golf.
Minor questions: when and how much can the heat pump help in reducing fuel consumption – also if it is no extra cost?
The price of one kilometer of range is (CAN or USD?) 180, compared with USD 99 for the Bolt / Ampera E. That is some difference!
The price of one kilometer of range is $180 (CAN or USD?) Comparing with $99 (USD) of the Bolt / Ampera E however makes some difference!
Going Back to the article – it says: "Please note this is the Canadian version so it might differ from the US version"
"Base price for the E-Golf in Canada is $35,999. The tech package is $2300 and so is the drive assistance package. Custom colours over the standard 9 cost an additional $2900. In Ontario after the $14,000 rebate, will result in a base net cost of just under $26,700 after taxes. Not bad at all!"
So – They said this is not the US Version, so why would you wonder if the Pricing was in US$ (US Dollars)?
Because if I compare performance for price of different e-cars, I wish to have exact numbers. Also just EV prices 36 000 USD is not 36 000 CAD and $ can mean both.
That is not correct. Renault has been on the E-car for a long time and is well ahead of most.
Yes the heat pump is much better than a resistive type heating system…think heat pump heating in house vs electric furnace or baseboard electric…
Is it just me, or does VW have the most bland styling in the entire industry. People at least have opinions on the Prius, Bolt, or Tesla – good or bad. Their electric engineering may be from 2014, but the styling is straight out of 1982.
Must be you … otherwise how in the world would VW Golf be one of the most successfully sold hatchback designs ever???
All they need is to throw the body on a BEV chassis and they will reap a lot of benefits in the future.
No edit feature to fix autocorrect errors… so fix them in your mind if you will
Some of us like the Golf styling. IMO, it's the most attractive EV outside of Tesla.
Yep, and a lot of people really like that it looks essentially the same as the regular Golf.
They will sell a ton of these, once they throw it on BEV chassis. Question will be, whether they will be able to get enough batteries made ….
It's more attractive than the 3 or X and on the edge versus the S.
Definitely just you.
This is one of the most popular cars in Europe.
Well, there is the XL1, a result of extreme engineering for fuel/energy efficiency.
You might not consider this a valid example because it is a very low production car (125 units), but it is a result of VW engineering, and I think you will agree the styling is anything but bland!
Obviously, looks are entirely subjective.
However, I actually agree with you, GreenMD. I too, find Volkswagen styling to be quite tedious. Well, except the Scirocco, I don't the Scirocco is tedious…however, I do think it's ugly as sin.
It looks like a Golf. Seven generations of practical hatchbacks that eschew trendy over-styling, relying instead on a clean, understated shape that ages gracefully. The Golf is iconic, like Porsche's 911.
That doesn't mean your or anyone else is wrong for NOT liking it, but many millions do.
It looks like the vote is about 471,731 to 2 that the Golf looks good, so I learned something today. Thank you, internet 🙂
The Prius is painful to look at- almost like a migraine on wheels- the bolt is ok but I prefer the subtle lines and fit) finish of the golf. The Tesla is an attractive car
Yep. For those who dismiss VW styling as bland, they are in a direct battle with Toyota for leading manufacturer in the world. Toyota decide to go styling crazy and VW didn't respond.
The result, VW retook #1 in the world in sales from Toyota even despite the TDI scandal and lost sales from diesel. Numbers don't lie: conservative styling outsells avant-garde every time.
If VW can slash $5k off the MSRP, they'll have a hit on their hands. Contrary to the constant drumbeat in the EV press about how 200 miles is MANDATORY for an EV in 2018, it's not, especially not with a car like the e-Golf that has a CCS connections available. It's just that the car with under that range shouldn't be priced higher than the non-EV version. The e-Golf is a competent offering, the only question is whether VW will actually sell them or leave them as a compliance car in California and Oregon.
I would guess compliance.
It's compliance for now. I would expect the real push to come in 2020-21 with the new Golf and certain deadlines coming up in their settlement. It also gives VW time to let others improve battery techs and then source those improvements from those manufacturers.
I looked as close as I could, but unless it is a few inches from the touchscreen, I saw no CD slot nor USB ports.
Those are a couple of things that (1) date me and (2) annoy me at the same time. BTW, same issue with the Model 3. As it appears the entire industry is going that way, I'll just have to get used to figuring my best bluetooth option for music.
Not having USB ports is odd. Not having a CD slot is normal now.
You'll probably have to get Bluetooth or USB keys working for you. A Bolt gives you both options. So does a Focus Electric. I think even a FIAT 500e does.
Come on people, read the posts…it has both. CD changer in the glove box and usb port to connect with car play behing the cover by the stick.
My 2015 e-Golf has no USB either but CD slot and SD card reader are in the glove box. I drive it 100 miles daily (m-f) and it is a great car. The only thing more range would allow me to do is consider using it for longer trips but that still equates to the same amount of time on a charger, just less stops. 15k miles in 7 months so far.
So that means they added the CD changer and usb port starting 2016 model year…
One USB in "ashtray" and SD and CD in glovebox IN 2016. 2018 models add the newer head units to the Golf (finally) and more USB locations.
My 2017 golf has the CD player in the glove box and the usb ports under the panel area below the touchscreen… dunno if the 2018 e-golf is the same, but it probably is
I'm done with my eGolf lease at the end of this year.
ProPilot is steering me (pun) towards the Leaf as its replacement, given that the eGolf will be about the same price.
Buyer beware, my 2016 Leaf SV lost 3 bars of charge at 22k miles…not good.
You had to have level one charged your 2016 Leaf up to the 100% level, every chance you possibly had. Or, you left your car topped up 95% + SOC all of the time.
I top off my EGolf to 100% every single day with L1 and have 0 range loss after a year so I don't see what that has to do with anything.
Typical experience here in Ontario though. So I visit vw.ca and have a look at the e-golf. Then hit the find a dealer button. I'm expecting the dealer that's literally less than 2km from my house. It's in an automall where are the dealerships are pretty big. But nope, I'd have to drive 27 km for the nearest dealer that will sell an e-golf.
OK, so I visit the dealer's web site and guess what? Not a single piece of information about the e-golf.
Hmm, maybe the build & price tool then. Nope, no e-golf to be found.
True egolf isn't sold at all dealers in the USA either. Website would still have 2016 eGolf as there was no 2017, and 2018 models other than the all new SUVs aren't going to be on the website until September. Still selling out 2017/2016 leftovers.
I wonder if the heat-pump version is only available in Canada. Probably.
That would make no sense, why would they design 2 different versions?
I was wondering how the heat in electric cars worked. I assumed it was resistive heat which would use a lot of juice. heat pump is expensive but much more efficient.
Heat pump was available on the e-Golf's in the US already. It is supposed to be standard with the 2017/2018 models.
The SEL's have a heat pump and the less expensive SE trim level does not. Likewise for LED headlights.
So the MSRP of the 2018 e-Golf in Canada is <USD 29K, providing 1 km EPA range for cca. USD 144
Still unknown, roughly how much a heat pump will save in energy, or add to range, and at what expense, if any.
Drove the current Leaf, i3, Bolt, and e-Golf this past week and for me the e-Golf was the overall winner. It is the best looking (my opinion), has the most useable space for tall people front and rear, is the best built ( BMW was similar just funky styled), had the second best range, and was almost the cheapest. The BMW was hands down the most fun to drive, and I would want it just for that, but it is out of my price range. The Nissan was not nice (in my view) but that looks like it will radically change for 2018. The Chevy was the biggest let down as the only thing going for it was its range…build quality, looks, space, handling, etc all eclipsed by the VW and BMW.
Where did you find them? I am Ontario Canada and it is really tough to find one to even test drive. My closest VW dealer who sells the e golf said it is a 18 month waiting list to get one. Crazy why bother offering them if your not going to stock them.
Brian – if you live in the GTHA, there is the non-profit EV Discovery Center that has all those EV's available to test drive. It's free, no pressure. I believe it was sponsored by the Ontario Government.
1126 Finch Ave. W, North York
Ontario, M3J 3J6
Range is too short for the price. Get a Bolt EV for a little more $$, and twice the range! VW makes a good product in the Golf design, but I am waiting to see what they can do with the new ID lineup. Mach schnell, VW!
