Some readers religiously follow the Best Seller lists to add the most popular books to their reading lists. Some, on the other hand, reject these lists with the belief that they are not the true reflection of good books. No matter whether you believe in them or not, the fact remains that they are highly relevant in increasing a book's sale. And every author dreams of making it to these lists.
Amazon bestseller lists are one of the most coveted lists by all authors. With ebooks and online shopping becoming popular, Amazon has become a major player in the books market. So, they are very well placed to judge the emerging and changing reading trends.
In the recently released Amazon.in Reading Trends Report 2016, Amazon has highlighted some of these trends. There are some surprises, but most of the findings seemed quite predictable to me.
Talking about this report, Noor Patel, Director Category Management, Amazon India said, "A love of reading and a profound appreciation for the people who create great books is part of our DNA at Amazon. We are very excited with this year's Reading Trends Report and thrilled to see Indian writers among the most read authors for the fourth successive year! We at Amazon.in are truly committed to helping our customers enjoy their passion for reading by offering them a wide selection with unique choices across languages, genres and authors."
Some of the important findings of the Amazon.in's Reading Trends Report 2016 are:
Best-read city of India:
For the fourth year in a row, Delhi-NCR has topped the list of Most Well-Read Cities in India. So if you are a reader belonging to this region, give yourself a pat on your back. You live in a well-read region! Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad are next in line as the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th most well-read cities. For the first time, Karnal, Vadodara and Patna too managed to enter in the Top 20 Most Well-Read Cities list by buying more books than Coimbatore, Visakhapatnam and Lucknow this year.
This ranking was determined by compilation of the sales data of all the physical books sold during year 2016.
One Indian Girl is a winner:
Chetan Bhagat came out on tops as the bestselling author on Amazon.in. His latest release One Indian Girl became the highest selling fiction book of 2016 in India. Well, I could have predicted that without getting informed by amazon. I think if any Indian has read only two books in his or her life, one of them will be by Chetan Bhagat. He is that popular, isn't he?
Rowling's magic continues:
Harry Potter And The Cursed Child – Parts I & II by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne & John Tiffany is the 'Most Popular book of the year' in Readers' Poll 2016. No surprises there either!
Emraan Hashmi kisses literary fame:
The Kiss of Life by Emraan Hashmi & Bilal Siddiqi received most number of votes (47%) under Biographies. Did you ever imagine that Emraan Hashmi would one day win such a literary prestige!
Exam Fever makes us read:
Exam Preparation books were the second most popular genre across all cities. Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis has become the most popular book in this genre. Other most popular books in this genre were Manorama Yearbook 2016, Indian Polity 4th Edition, Railway Recruitment Boards RRB (Non-Technical Cadre) 2016 and A Modern Approach to Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning.
The third most popular genre was Children & Young adult.
Everyone wants to know The Secret:
When it comes to translated works, translations of 'The Secret' became the bestseller in various vernacular languages, including Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and Gujarati. Yeah, we all need a bit of motivation and optimism. And The Secret is a good book. If you haven't ready it yet, I suggest you do.
Best Sellers of 2016
- Chetan Bhagat's One Indian Girl
- J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – Parts I & II (Special Rehearsal Edition)
- Norman Lewis' Word Power Made Easy
- Robin Sharma's Non Fiction Who Will Cry When You Die? (It was at #7 last year)
Readers' Poll – Most Popular Books of 2016
Amazon.in conducted a Readers' Poll inviting readers to vote on their favorite book. This poll was conducted across eight categories with top 5 best-sellers contesting in each category. Here are the winners of this poll:
- Most Popular Book of 2016: Harry Potter And The Cursed Child – Parts I & II by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne & John Tiffany It also won the highest votes (70%) in Children's books category too.

"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
"I put my foot in my mouth on that one."
"Wordless Wednesday"
"Silence is golden"
See where I'm going here? In a culture where we are encouraged more and more to speak up and be heard, we still have these phrases that beg the question, "What's more important: being heard or being nice?" Most ask this question when it comes to business. It's a dog eat dog world out there and usually being heard is valued over being nice.
I would argue, however, that silence is more than just being nice. It's about listening, connecting, communicating, and silence is not always nice (ex: the mommy look).
I don't know if this is my "mommy look" or my "Seriously? You're taking a picture of me?" look.
When to be silent:
- You're not adding anything of value to the conversation.
- You're being destructive.
- You're playing devil's advocate ALL THE TIME.
- You've not been asked your opinion or for advice.
- When a look will speak 10x louder than any words.
Silence can be powerful, awkward, refreshing, and painful yet it is a tool in our communication toolbox. Recently the Bachelor began again (reality TV show) and one girl got out of the limo, introduced herself to the Bachelor, and then proceeded to have an awkward silence moment on purpose to "get it out of the way." It was awkward and silly yet honest and intriguing all at the same time. It definitely broke the ice and she ended up with a rose two weeks in a row.
My encouragement for today is don't be afraid of silence, embrace it and use it to hear and be heard.

In the Journals: Hearing aids may help improve brain function
Here is another reason to get your hearing checked: it could strengthen your brain. A study to be published in the June 2016 American Journal of Audiology found that hearing aids improve brain function in people with hearing loss. Hearing loss can interfere with cognitive abilities because so much brain effort is put toward understanding speech, according to lead researcher Dr. Jamie Desjardins, assistant professor of speech language pathology at the University of Texas

Our only vacation…
On September 9th, Hubs and I worked our last day of work for a full week. He even worked a few extra hours so that he wouldn't have to think about work at all while we were gone. We got home, finished the last little packing we needed to do, and got ready for bed, excited for the adventures of the next day. Hitting the road by 10 a.m., we had an uneventful drive to Long Beach, getting in around 5 p.m. Being 24 weeks pregnant at the time, I figured I'd need a few extra bathroom stops, but didn't…nice surprise 🙂
We wandered around Long Beach for a few hours after checking in to our hotel. And then it was time for bed so that we could get ready for the next day. Monday, Hubs took me to an awesome $1 bookstore. Literally all of the books were $1! I showed remarkable restraint and only bought 11, but we are planning on driving to Long Beach next time we are in SoCal just so I can go back to the bookstore and stock up!
And then we went to the cruise…
Life boats and view of Long Beach from the ship
Approaching Catalina Island
On the tender, going back to the cruise ship
Hubs bought me a rose in Ensenada
For some reason I was fascinated by the stop sign being written in Spanish (and you can see our ship in the back)
Food from the midnight Mexican buffet. So yummy!
Stunning carved fruit at the buffet
Baby bump at 24w3d at the cruise ship's art gallery
Hubs was a little obsessed with the ping pong tables on board. 🙂
View of LA from the Getty museum
We went to the Getty after the cruise and then to Hubs' grandma's house to visit overnight before driving home on Saturday. All in all, it was an absolutely fabulous trip!
Vintage baby clothes
I know, long time no see, but I have a reason this time! Hubs and I got rid of all technology for a week as we travelled down to LA area and went on a cruise (but that's another story!). Before we left, I took a bunch of pictures of baby clothes that our parents gave us, from when we were children. I thought that it was really touching that they saved these clothes and I absolutely cannot wait to do some side by side comparisons of how we looked as babies next to Little Girl dressed in the same outfits. Bear in mind that these outifts are 24-26 years old. Take a peak!
That's a brand new Baby Dior outfit from 1987 with the tags still on it! Hubs' aunt bought it for him and/or his sister.
My sister and I were born a month early and this was one of the few outfits we could wear. It was smaller than preemie sizing, and was actually a doll's dress.
Brand new, not even laced, Mickey Mouse shoes from Hubs' family.
Sweaters/cardigans from when Hubs and his sister were little. These are so soft, and the little pearl buttons at the top are shaped like flowers.
A smocked dress from Hubs' sister.
This final pic isn't clothing. Instead it is two of the rattles that my mother-in-law had when she was a baby that she saved and gave to us, next to a stuffed animal that belonged to Hubs when he was a baby. We also have, not pictured, two stuff animals from when I was little.
We have been so blessed lately. An acquaintance sent a big bag of girl's clothes to church for us today, 39 items, already washed and super adorable. A co-worker of my mom gave her 2 big bags of clothes for us that her granddaughter just outgrew. One of my husband's grandmas called this afternoon asking if we wanted another cousin's high chair because their daughter outgrew it. We haven't even had a shower yet, but our house is filling up with baby stuff!
Vacation/cruise post coming later this week, with pics!

Ferrari Driving Experience in Monza. PureSport, Pure Adrenaline.
Have you ever dreamed of driving a Lamborghini or a Ferrari GT car on the track?
With the PureSport GT program you can realize your dream. A day with Puresport means passion, adrenaline, technology, entertainment will let you drive of cars like Ferrari 430 GT and Lamborghini Gallardo on track in safety, with teaching professionals who will conduct you through this fantastic experience.
There is a strong link among Ferrari brand, motorsport and UAE. Abu Dhabi is the ultimate destination for motorsport action during the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, a welcome return to the UAE capital's ground-breaking Yas Marina Circuit. Following its highly-acclaimed debut as part of the 2009 Formula 1 Championship, the Abu Dhabi race has established a fast-growing and dedicated following around the world, with a sell-out crowd of 55,000 spectators expected at 2013's event.
Always in the UAE, you can find Ferrari World, the first and at the moment unique Ferrari themed amusement park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The iconic roof of Ferrari World was designed by Benoy Architects and it is modelled after the side profile of a Ferrari GT.
Following this common feeling in the UAE, we decided to experience and share the emotion of driving a Ferrari on the race track. This event was possible thanks to Puresport, racing schools organizing courses for private pilot and companies on race cars. The technical team Puresport is made up of specialists with solid experience in piloting courses on race, that guarantee perfect mastery of the method of teaching safety to deal with your experience in GT & Formula cars.
The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a race track located near the city of Monza, north of Milan, in Italy. The circuit's biggest event is the Formula One Italian Grand Prix, which has been hosted there since 1922.
The site has three tracks – the 5.793 kilometres (3.600 mi) Grand Prix track is the one used for the GT program.
The day begins with a detailed briefing for the drivers and a presentation of the cars (Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo). Immediately after the briefing, ready to go.
Plenty of tension when you are inside the car, especially if you have not ever been driving a Ferrari; having experience with circuit driving helps but is not essential. The presence of the instructor by your side let you feel safe in any case.
There are only 3 proper corners at Monza, the two Lesmos and the Parabolica, so cars are set up with maximum performance on the straights.
Cars approach the first corner at the maximum speed (340 kmh in seventh gear for a Formula1, 260 kmh with a GT car) and brake at about 120 metres (390 ft) before the first chicane – the Variante del Rettifilo, entering in second gear with our GT.
It is important to accelerate out of the first chicane as straight as possible and with minimal wheelspin, as a lot of time will be lost through the Curva Grande down to the Variante della Roggia chicane in 5th gear. The braking point is just under the bridge. This chicane is probably the best overtaking chance on the lap during a race, as it is the only one with the "slow corner, long straight, slow corner".
The Curve di Lesmo are two corners that are not as fast as they used to be, but are still challenging corners. The first is blind, entered in 3rd gear, and dropping to 4th gear and has a slight banking. The second is 4th gear entry, apexing in 3rd gear, and very important and all the kerb is used.
The downhill straight down to Variante Ascari is very bumpy under the bridge. Variante Ascari is a very tricky sequence of corners, approached in 3rd gear and where you use the 4th gear to exit.
The final challenge is the Curva Parabolica, approaching in 3rd gear, and exiting in 4th gear accelerating onto the main start/finish straight. A good exit and slipstream off a fellow driver along the main straight could produce an overtaking opportunity under heavy braking into Variante del Rettifilio; however, it is difficult to follow a leading car closely through the Parabolica as the tow will reduce downforce and cornering speed.
Maximum speed achieved in a 2009 Formula One car is 369 kilometres per hour, achieved at the end of the start/finish straight by Juan Pablo Montoya in 2005. Rubens Barrichello recorded the fastest ever pole position lap at Monza in 2004 when he lapped in 1m20.089s. But in the pre-qualifying session for the same race (which did not count for a grid position but only Q-running order), Juan Pablo Montoya lapped the track in 1m19.525s which remains the fastest lap ever recorded in an F1 car.
The second lap goes definitely better than the first one. Knowing the circuit let the instructor give you less directions on the gear to be set or on the trajectories to be followed .
Moreover, I had this experience shortly after the Formula 1 Grand Prix, so the trajectories were evident, thanks to the signs on the tracks left by the Formula 1 cars.
Even though the acceleration is really amazing, it is the braking system of these GT cars leaving you with no words. From 260 to 50 kmh in less than 200 meters. Sometimes not being accustomed to such speeds, an unexperienced driver will brake too much in advance and will find himself almost stopped, 100 meters from the curve or even far.
After the emotion of driving the Ferrari, Puresport gave us a chance to drive even the Lamborghini Gallardo. Two different cars, two different styles. But the thrill of driving the circuit remains. And lap after lap you go on becoming familiar with the circuit, remembering the braking points, trajectories and where to push.
One of the most intense experiences lived so far.
Pure emotion. Pure adrenaline.
The only regret.. ended too soon.
But going back to try the GT cars and maybe the "Formula" with the staff of Puresport. Maybe next time on the track in Abu Dhabi…

Attracting the right kind of web traffic
We've heard it time and time again… how web success is defined by traffic. The more "hits" your website gets, the more successful it is, right?
It's a common misconception that there's a direct correlation between the number of unique visitors or page views a website gets and how successful that site is. The thing underlying, but often overlooked, truth is that unless you do something with web traffic once it arrives all it does is eat into your monthly bandwidth allowance.
Traffic without conversion doesn't benefit your business
Unless you can persuade a significant portion of your website visitors to do whatever it is you want them to do when they arrive on your site (your conversion goals), then the volume of traffic your site attracts is a meaningless number. It's like Brown Thomas counting the people who walk past on the pavement on a Saturday — pointless.
To build a really effective website you need targeted traffic. To get the maximum ROI out of your web marketing investment, attracting people who want what you have to offer is crucial.
Goals, keywords, content, conversion
What do you want to achieve from your website overall? What about the individual landing pages?
Having clearly defined goals is important. If you don't have a destination in mind it's impossible to plan the journey, and you'll never know when you've arrived.
Once you have clear goals, you need to choose relevant, properly targeted keywords based on achieving those specific goals
- Pick general keyword phrases and you'll end up fishing in a bigger pool of potential visitors, so there's huge volume potential, but there's also likely to be more competition and a low probability of conversion.
- Pick very specific keyword phrases and your probability for conversion climbs exponentially, your competition falls but the size of the pool shrinks, so potential traffic volume is much lower.
Ideally we need to strike the happy medium between these two extremes, selecting good mix of relevant goal-focussed keywords. You'll find a good overview of keywords and how to pick them in an earlier post.
Once you're targeting the right keywords, the next step is to ensure your >content delivers. Once your highly targeted visitors arrive on your site, give them what they're looking for (based on your target keywords for the page) and guide them gently (or perhaps not so gently) towards your chosen conversion goals.
Make your call to action clear. If you want them to buy… ask them to buy, and make it easy for them to do so. If you want them to sign up to your mailing list, give them a form to fill in… and ASK them to submit it. Don't beat around the bush… state what you'd like your visitors to do clearly and concisely, and make taking action easy for them.
Real website success isn't about traffic volume; it's about return on investment.
Choose traffic quality over traffic volume, align your online marketing accordingly and focus on improving conversion with more focused content and landing pages. Do that, and you'll soon see a marked improvement in your website performance.Tags: conversion, ROI, Traffic

Wot Blog?
Here is something I carved yesterday and today. Have to say, I'm pretty happy with the result! Except for the little bit of bun I accidentally Speedballed off.
Its purpose in life is to decorate the front of Miss C's pink windcheater. She reminds me a lot of Little My. She often frowns and smiles at the same time, she's small, and she bites. Feisty!

In today's world, we're constantly dealing with our hands and wrists. We're at the computer, we're on our mobile devices, and we're doing lots of things with our hands. Because of this, disorders like carpal tunnel have become a lot more common among people.
There are actually a lot of connections between carpal tunnel syndrome and fibromyalgia. If you are having issues with your hands and wrists and you've already been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you will definitely want to consider this.
Looking at Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
So imagine that you're sitting at your desk and you are typing up a report for your boss. You've been sitting there for awhile, going back and correcting errors and looking up information on the internet in order to have the most accurate report possible. Then, you start to get this odd feeling in your wrists, arms, and hands.
They start to tingle, and eventually, the whole area really starts to hurt! This is because there are nerves in your wrists and, if you put too much pressure on them for too long, the nerves start to pinch and it causes a lot of pain.
The median nerve, which is the main nerve in this area of the body, is the one that gets most affected by this. This nerve goes from right below your elbow, through your forearm, into your wrist, and ends in your hand. This long nerve does a lot of work, and because we lean on our wrists a lot (or do other types of work with them), carpal tunnel syndrome ends up occurring. If you didn't know, the reason this is called carpal tunnel syndrome is because the area where the median nerve is located is called the "carpal tunnel." Makes sense, doesn't it?
Anyway, unlike most other diseases, there really isn't a particular "type" of person who can end up getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Basically, if you do a lot of work with your hands, wrists, and/or arms, you're going to end up being at risk for it. Granted, there are some risk factors that can come into play – pregnant women, diabetics, and those suffering from autoimmune diseases are, ultimately, more likely to get it. But the difference really isn't that much. If you're doing the same thing over and over with your wrists and hands, you have a chance of getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
The good news is, you can prevent carpal tunnel syndrome in a lot of ways. There are keyboards out there that are made so that your wrists have less pressure on them, thus making it so that your risk is less. You can make sure that you're taking breaks regularly. You can also do exercises that help to stretch out your wrists and that help you to be more flexible, thus reducing your chances of compressing the nerve and, thus, ending up with carpal tunnel syndrome.
How Does Carpal Tunnel Relate to Fibromyalgia?
Now, fibromyalgia, even though we didn't mention it above, is also a risk factor for carpal tunnel. Those who are dealing with fibromyalgia are a lot more likely (4 to 6 times more likely, in fact) to get carpal tunnel. And that's when you compare it to everyone in the world who may have a chance of getting the disease. Some people even say it's one of the biggest risk factors for carpal tunnel. In the case of fibromyalgia, it's more common to see women who have carpal tunnel with it instead of men, even though both genders get it.
Of course, this begs the question – why is fibromyalgia such a big risk factor? As with many things that are related to fibromyalgia, there really isn't a definitive answer, even though there are a number of answers that sound like they could make a bit of sense in there.
One of the most common explanations for the relationship between carpal tunnel syndrome and fibromyalgia is the fact that the body is already sensitive to pain.
Since carpal tunnel is when you are putting pressure on the median nerve, the pressure is already going to hurt more because of the fibromyalgia, meaning it needs less pressure to start giving you a problem. There are other theories as well, including ones related to poor posture, and others that are related to the fact that those with fibromyalgia are more likely to suffer injuries because they are doing so much to try and reduce the pain that they are dealing with.
So what can you do in order to reduce the issues from carpal tunnel syndrome and fibromyalgia? Along with all of the different tips that we mentioned above, there are some other things you can do. Your doctor may suggest that you use steroid shots in order to help and relieve the pain from your carpal tunnel syndrome, but that's usually only in the worst cases where it has started to become debilitating.
Make sure that you rest your wrists regularly and don't continue to do repetitive motions too often. Consider wearing braces on your wrists, and make sure that your chair is comfortable and encourages you to have good posture.
If none of those suggestions are working, your doctor may also suggest that you have some sort of surgery – but like the shots, this is a worst case scenario situation that we're talking about here.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome isn't really something to be nervous about, but it can cause a lot of pain and stress if you don't get it taken care of properly. Like fibromyalgia, taking care of your symptoms is a vital part of the treatment program. There are lots of things that you can do to treat both disorders, and you should be able to do everything that you want to do. Talk to your specialist for more information and ask them any questions that you may have about both of these disorders – they can give you specialized advice for your particular situation.

Hi Lud! (I like that!)
Sounds as if you've had a rough few days. Sorry about that honey. I'm so happy to see Bindi's here. She's a very wise woman and a true friend and her words are always a comfort. They certainly are to me. Even reading her comments here makes me feel warm and puts a smile on my face and it isn't even a comment to me!!!
When I was in my teens my mother and I didn't get along very well. It was a very painful and difficult time because I wanted desperately for her to understand and support me. Once I left home for college and to live with Rob, slowly our relationship changed. Over the decades we've become wonderful friends and we care deeply about one another. I finally stopped looking at her as just my mom and started looking at her as a woman with the same sorts of problems, insecurities, hopes and dreams. Did she make lots of mistakes as a parent? You bet she did! But I made lots of mistakes as a daughter, so it was easy, once that was established, to meet in the middle and start truly loving and appreciating one another.
I agree with Bindi, your mother isn't right and you wrong, but take a few minutes to reflect on the conversation with her. What did she say that you know is true and what did she say that you know is pure rubbish. Throw out the rubbish and be done with it. You're left with the truth. Give it some thought and decide what you want to do. You can act on it now, or just store it away for safe keeping to use at a later date. Have an imaginary, beautiful little box where you stash the truth and when you need some, you can easily find it.
You're struggling because your dreams are in conflict with your reality. You have some hard choices ahead and that my dear is a journey only you can take. In your heart, you know what you want and have to decide which path to chose. You will, right or wrong, you will. We all do. Just know that your life is your own, it's most likely the only one you will ever consciously remember, so don't waste it. Listen to the little voice that speaks to you. It's rarely wrong.
"Go confidently
in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you imagined."

Hope you are fine..
Let me tell you something funny and personnel..
when my mom get angry for something (mostly messing in the kitchen), she say something like "what the h*** you doing? or something similar..
I'll look at her eyes and ask her "mom, what does that word means?" She will look at me think one minute and say she don't know..I ask her then why do you say that..she will say her mom used to say that and she is doing the same..then we will both laugh..
Yes, dear Suzanne, I am so happy to have all of you in my life...a wonderful community...loving, caring each other..

A 'baby boom' in Milton Keynes has put pressure on the council's ability to deliver some services, it has been revealed.
As the council announces plans to chop £58million from its budget by 2020, chiefs say MK beats the national average when it comes to a growing - and ageing - population.
By 2026 almost 25 per cent of MK will be aged over 60 years old.
The council claims that an increased demand on services - as well as reduced funding from government - has had an impact on schools, social care, child protection, and support for people with disabilities.
Between 2010 and 2015, the increase in school population across England was four percent, but here in Milton Keynes there was a rise of 14 per cent.
The number of children in care has also increased from 271 in 2010 to 367 in 2015, with learning disability clients expected to rise by 880 in 15 years.
On top of this the number of homeless applications has more than doubled during 2014.
Despite this, council leader Pete Marland believes he can achieve the cuts by creating a "sustainable, better and different" way of running the council.
However, he admits it will be a huge challenge.
He said: "We want to make sure Milton Keynes remains a great place to live, work and visit, but inevitably some 'nice to do' services will need to stop, and we will be employing fewer people, whilst at the same time looking how to generate income to help support vital services."

Agencies and municipalities should evaluate and grade their roadways on an annual basis. One method of doing so is by using the PASER Rating System.
The PASER (Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating) Rating System uses a visual inspection to evaluate pavement conditions and can be used on asphalt, concrete, or gravel roads. The PASER System is an effective roadway management system that is rather simple, yet paramount in making the most cost-effective decisions for taking care of your roadways.
The PASER Rating System rates the roads' condition on a scale of 1-10 along with recommending the maintenance and/or repairs that may be needed.
Ratings for Asphalt Surfaces:
9-10 – Excellent; no maintenance required
8 – Very good; little or no maintenance
7 – Good; routine maintenance
5-6 – Fair to Good; preservative treatments needed
3-4 – Poor to Fair; structural improvements needed
1-2 – Failed to Very poor; reconstruction necessary
As part of an annual roadway inspection, other specific conditions such as drainage, adequate strength and safety are also important factors to consider in future road maintenance. Assessing road conditions is an essential step in planning and improving maintenance management and extending the useful life of existing roadways. The PASER Rating System is an excellent tool to assist in managing your roads.

Below are some of the most often asked questions regarding our Drain Cleaning Seattle services:
Do I require to bear with a flooded basement when it rains?
Of course not. We can check to figure out the building and condition of the existing plumbing system and help figure out the finest strategy to require to repair the situation. Having water flowing away from the house is the primary step, in addition to other drainage and leak detection strategies we can execute.
Is ice excellent to assist clean and sharpen waste disposal unit blades?
Ice is recommended to sharpen waste disposal unit blades securely without using anything sugary or acidic unlike the typical myth of yellow lemons. If one likes the fresh lemon fragrance that it leaves, use vinegar as a more secure and even more dependable alternative to get rid of an odor.
Are all property owners adept enough to do their own plumbing work?
Well … sometimes yes. Most guys would wish to believe so. However the issue depends on the fact that much of a plumbing system is not visible, but behind walls. Expert drain cleaning companies have the equipment to analyze pipes for leaks that are not quickly seen by the naked eye. Let us suggest that one keep hold of any equipment manuals to reference when needed.
Are toilet cleaning tablets useful?
Toilet cleaning tablets consist of bleach which will certainly bleach the bowl. Nevertheless, the bleach just creates a white coat over the build-up rather of removing it. Rather, use vinegar for any foul smells and clean the bowl weekly. This will also increase the life-span of the toilet.
Is it best to have a strainer over every drain and to eliminate all possible food and hair?
This step is crucial in securing sewage system lines and keeping them free of debris especially food that is high in carbs and hair bits. Foods that are high in carbs are most likely to expand if captured on something as water flows through developing a larger issue as the more water is utilized. Always clean a strainer routinely and attempt to get every piece of food and hair from going down the drain and possibly snagging on something.
If ones drains are draining however rather slower than normally, fill the sink or tub up with adequate water to fill the drain when the stopper is raised. This will create pressure through the drain, ideally removing the food or debris that was obstructing it. This does not constantly suffice, but it helps in comparison to a partial flow at the bottom of the drain, like it is utilized to.
Will cleaning plumbing components with hand soap with leave them clean?
Yes, however ensure to wash all soap away so it does not leave any residue on the component. The residue left can cause them to corrode so clean away the water with a dry towel and this will certainly leave your components shiny and new.
How commonly should one have an expert drain cleaning carried out?
If one has actually been staying in the same home for other 10 years and still have actually not had ones drains cleaned, then it is time to think about doing this your first choice in Drain Cleaning Contractors Seattle. Sewage system cleaning is a crucial plumbing service and need to be provided regardless if your home is connected to a municipal or city sewage system or ones own septic system. One still requires to get them cleared of waste products; tree roots and whatever objects that get stuck inside. This will certainly help the drain lines a considerable quantity.
What is a drain inspection?
Assessment is not always needed however if one is experiencing some problems with ones drains, then it will be wise to have the pipes inspected. With the help of a specifically designed electronic camera, a plumbing technician can see inside the drain lines. The video camera has an illumination that enables optimal visibility against the dark. It is genuinely a fantastic device that will certainly verify the area of cracks, holes or damages inside the pipes. Finally, it helps validate the existing condition of the system and check for root invasions.
How are drains cleaned and unclogged?
To clean sewer lines, a sewer jetter is needed. It is a high-pressure machine that blasts water into the system to remove waste materials, sticky elements as well as grease that cling onto the wall of pipes. They are also called hydro-jetters or water jetters. If one is considering running one oneself, please be extremely careful. Make sure to be appropriately trained prior to using one to prevent damage to the plumbing system.
Is it safe to use drain cleaning chemicals?
Not to hold this subject for last, however it is essential to be knowledgeable on the topic, for we get asked this questions all the time. Therefore, we saved the next page for this discussion …

Just as the differing religions struggle to be the representative of God, all people in contemporary society struggle to be the representatives of the truth. And just as differing religious and political factions use the authority of their assumed connection with God to validate their views, all people who assert their view as the right view defend it by saying that they have a superior relationship to the truth or how things really are.
I will offer a different understanding of what we all are doing when we assert the superior truth of what we believe that dispenses with the idea that there is one right way in which things are or The Truth, and yet which does not lead to a self-contradictory relativism. My view is a kind of perspectivism, one that does not believe all perspectives are equally valid yet does not justify itself by appeal to absolute truth or the way in which things are in and of themselves.

Why Personal Bankruptcy Can Work For Some And Not Others
If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy, you are probably already overwhelmed at all the things you need to do and all the information you need to provide. However, the good news is that you are laying a strong foundation for your future financial life. Here are a few tips to help you get through your bankruptcy.
Consider hiring an attorney who specializes in personal bankruptcy. Although most states allow you to file for bankruptcy without a lawyer, your case could be dismissed if you don't fill out your paperwork correctly, and you may need to file additional motions to protect your property or discharge certain debts. A bankruptcy attorney can help ensure that you get the outcome you hope for when you file.
Do not get an attorney for your bankruptcy when you are feeling overwhelmed. You have got to be levelheaded when you hire a lawyer. After all, you will be expected to pay him/her for services. Find out upfront what you will have to pay any lawyer before you hire one.
Be prepared to see your name in the news when you file bankruptcy. While the story isn't going to make front-page headlines unless you are a very prominent or famous figure, all bankruptcy cases are public record. As such, they are often reported in a section of local newspapers. The good part is that not everyone reads that part.
Seek advice from a debt consultant before you file for bankruptcy. Deciding to file for bankruptcy is not something that you should do without first seeking advice from a financial expert. This is because filing for bankruptcy will seriously hinder your ability to secure credit in the coming years.
Make a detailed list. Every creditor and debt should be listed on your application. Even if your credit cards do not carry a balance at all, it should still be included. Loans for cars or recreational vehicles should also be included on your application. Full disclosure is imperative during this part of the bankruptcy process.
Educate yourself about state bankruptcy laws and possible outcomes before filing your petition. Bankruptcy law evolves constantly, and it's important to stay up-to-date to ensure that you file properly. To stay up-to-date on these laws, check out your state's government website.
Know the difference between Chapters 7 and 13 bankruptcies. Chapter 7 will wipe your debts clean, meaning you will not owe what you file against. Chapter 13 requires you to agree to repay your debts. These debts need to be repaid within three to five years of the filing date.
If you are facing a necessary filing for bankruptcy, take a break from your troubles. After seeking reliable legal advice but before signing on the dotted line, give yourself a few days to think it all over, make sure you have disclosed everything and that you have selected the best options. Bankruptcy is permanent and you will live with consequences for a long time to come.
Now that you have read through the article, hopefully, you realize that there is little reason to be overwhelmed with your bankruptcy proceedings. Make use the information provided in this article and you will be able handle your bankruptcy much easier. Get ready to live a life that is much better than today!

People v. O'Shaughnessy Batson Challenges / Double Jeopardy / Sentence Merger
Batson Challenges: The prosecution struck three Hispanic jurors. On each challenge, the Court of Appeals found the prosecution's proffer to be race neutral; the Court of Appeals ignored the obvious – that the prosecution struck three Hispanic jurors. The CofA viewed each challenge in a vacuum, as if each none of the challenges by the prosecution related to each other.
Juror T: Although the trial court did not see the behavior, the prosecution claimed, "throughout my voir dire she (Juror T) was rolling her eyes, indicating that she wasn't too happy to be here which was confirmed when I did excuse her, her actions." The CofA found the prosecution offered a sufficient race neutral explanation.
Juror S: the CofA found despite similarly situated white jurors, the prosecution's explanation for kicking juror S to be race neutral. The prosecution claimed because Juror S was a counselor at Arapahoe House that she might be sympathetic to the defendant who was addicted to drugs (See Snyder v. Louisiana, attached where the prosecution kicked an African-America juror because he would miss a week observing a class for his teaching degree; the U.S. Supreme Court held the argument to be a pre-text because some white jurors expressed the same misgivings related to their jobs, school, family, or other obligations).
Juror M: the prosecution cited the juror's statement that he would have a hard time judging someone; this was the third Hispanic juror the prosecution kicked off. The Court of Appeals held that although defense counsel did not waive the Batson challenge to this juror, the CofA concluded that defense counsel acquiesced to the prosecutor's reasoning. Moral of the story: rebut these clowns after they offer their bogus explanation for kicking minorities of the panel.
Double Jeopardy and Sentence Merger: Mr. O'Shaughnessy argued that the convictions of Attempted First Degree Murder and Second Degree Assault violated his rights under Double Jeopardy. The CofA disagreed, and held because the two crimes involve at least one different element, Mr. O'Shaughnessy can suffer convictions under both statutes. However, the CofA held all crimes of which the jury convicted Mr. O'Shaughnessy involved the same evidence, and thus, the trial court may not order consecutive sentences.
People In The Interest of K.M. Restitution
K.M. doled-out a worthy beat-down upon D.D. K.M. claimed D.D. started the altercation, and simply defended himself when he busted D.D.'s jaw. The prosecution offered and K.M accepted an adjudication to harassment. D.D., not content to swallow his pride and accept the ass-whooping, wanted money. The Crime Victim Compensation Board gave him money, and then the CVCB sought reimbursement from K.M.. The trial court ordered the prosecution to itemize the reimbursement. The prosecution refused to provide an itemization, and the trial court denied the restitution claim. The CofA affirmed the trial court's denial of restitution. The CofA held despite the prosecution protestations of privacy etc. the prosecution could have provided the required documentation for an in camera review, but failed to do so.
People v. Brown Search and Seizure – Parole and Expectation of privacy
Mr. Brown lived with his brother, who was on parole at the time. The CofA found that Mr. Brown possessed no expectation of privacy because: "Defendant knew (1) his brother was on parole, (2) the residence could be searched at any time, (3) the brother was required to have permission to live with others, and
(4) the brother did not have permission for defendant to live there." Thus, the CofA upheld Mr. Brown's conviction for possession.
People v. Hoffman Probable Cause / Search Warrants / Good Faith
The Court of Appeals found that the warrant used by police to search Mr. Hoffman's home lacked probable cause. Further, the CofA found that the 'good faith' exception could not justify relying on the stale warrant. The CofA found: "Here, a deputy of the Mesa County Sheriff's Department
obtained a warrant to search defendant's trailer by submitting an affidavit presenting (1) information he received from an unidentified informant,
(2) the deputy's observations of activity near defendant's trailer on the night before the warrant was issued, but a month after the informant's information
was received, (3) an account of two arrests the deputy made after observing the activity near defendant's trailer, and (4) some criminal history related to prior conduct of defendant. Our review of the totality of the circumstances, including
the cumulative effect of the allegations presented in the affidavit, persuades us that there was no substantial basis to conclude that probable cause existed."

It is non-selective so anything it touches it could kill. It's effective against most weeds but they may need a second treatment. Be sure to target the root and stem area. Just hitting the leaves will only damage the leaves and the plant could come back. This is best used as a spot treatment.

Child Friendly Villa in Koh SamuiBook now
Children are valued guests at this Samui villa
Thai people adore children and delight in spending time with them, and children instantly respond to their care and attention. Parents can relax just that little bit more, knowing they have the flexibility and independence to either schedule their days to fit with family routine; or to take advantage of the freedom that comes from having staff on hand.
The villa is well equipped to cater for the practical needs of children (including baby monitors and bottle sterilisers) and is packed with places and things to engage childrens' attention and deliver lasting memories. Around the pool, there is a poolside changing room with a toilet and shower so children and adults alike can change in and out of wet clothes during the day.
Mealtimes are when a Samui villa chef truly pays dividends, just as happy to whip up an omelette or macaroni cheese for young guests, as to craft a Thai banquet for the grown-ups - at any time you wish.
As for the endless laundry that children create - simply drop it in the laundry basket and it will reappear in their wardrobe, clean and folded. Now, if that's not a parent's paradise...?
Children's Samui Villa Accommodation
For infants, Bedrooms One and Two each have a large dressing room that can easily accommodate a baby cot. For the older children, though, the purpose-built dorm is the main attraction.
A bank of bunk beds sleeps 6 children in comfort (8 at a push) .The room is light and airy, with bright colours and large bean bags. Porthole windows, outside decking and hammocks lend an adventurous and nautical atmosphere. Outside, the play area incorporates a table tennis table. There is an entertainment system for bed-time stories and movies and a range of toys to keep them entertained.
Directly next to the dorm is the twin bed Garden Bedroom. It is recommended that a responsible adult occupies this room when children are sleeping in the dorm. For added peace of mind, CCTV and motion activated lights can be switched on to cover the outside deck area.
Children are naturally attracted to the seashore. They'll enjoy the excitement of finding beautiful shells and interesting coral "treasures" on the beach, and the novelty of an evening walk along the sand never fails to entice.
Older children can enjoy playing with the bikes, rip sticks and other toys around the car park courtyard.

Safety for Kids at the Samui Villa
As far as possible, we have tried to incorporate safety for kids into the design of the villa. Water safety is of the greatest concern, and we have to urge caution around the pool and on the beach at all times. Children must never be left unsupervised in these environments. The pool has steps and a ledge to give a paddling depth for toddlers, but like most Thai villas, there is no pool fence to separate the pool. However, we have life jackets and the poolside sala and surrounding deck are ideally oriented for adults to relax whilst keeping an eye on the children. Please note that the main villa building has a glass staircase and a fish pond. To address safety for young children, we have stair gates that can be installed; and the fish pond can be closed off if requested.
Fun in the water
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012 for a stay in October 2012
We stayed at the View with friends for 8 nights late September through to early October. There were 9 adults and 10 children aged from 8 months to 11 years. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, our experience at the villa could not have been better. The purpose of the trip was to celebrate the 40th birthdays for 6 of the adults throughout the year. We are all school friends and had talked about celebrating the occasion for many years.
The villa itself is perfect. There are 5 bedrooms plus the dormitory that sleeps up to 8 children on 3 bunk and 2 pull out beds. There is a large kitchen area and lounge area inside the main house and another outdoor lounge area and bar next to the pool on the ground floor. The frozen margaritas were a great way to start each evening. (actually start each afternoon is probably more accurate.) There was thousands of songs to choose from on itunes which could all be played throughout the villas stereo system as well as hundreds of movies.
We also booked one of the villas behind the view and it was literally 30 metres away and directly connected to the main house.
We were able to arrange nannies to stay with us for the duration and they slept in the twin room which adjoined the children's room. The location of the dorm was far enough away that once the children went to bed, we would not disturb them in any way. They had the best time hanging out with each other and after full days of activities in the pool, on the beach and jumping off the pier they were ready to go straight to sleep.
The staff and service were amazing. Khun Opal and Khun Nokkie were our main contacts however all of the staff were lovely. They took care of all our needs and nothing was ever too much trouble. The food was so good that we didn't leave the villa once for dinner and only went out one day for lunch the entire 8 days/nights we were there. Breakfast was great and for lunch we chose to have sandwiches and salads which was perfect. The chef was an expert in Thai, Italian and Japanese cuisine so we were able to change the menu each night to whatever we wanted. There is an extensive menu to choose from or if you had anything in mind it would be prepared perfectly.

Someone posted this on the KC SCCA Facebook page, so naturally several people jumped on it. I mean it's a few bucks to go flog around a JCW Mini (even if it's one of the porkier ones) in a format we're all familiar with, so I figured why not get in on the fun.
Think it'd be in poor taste to show up with the Exocet in a (only partially serious) attempt to get them to shut up about their 3500lb wagon having go-kart-like handling?

Have you ever run into a situation where you find yourself living next to an awfully strange neighbor? Maybe a neighbor who has just recently moved into the area, but has yet to introduce his or herself to the other residents? In Hello, Neighbour!, you play someone who is going through this exact situation. However, instead of assuming that the new neighbor just doesn't like to be social, you feel the strong desire to break into their house and discover the reason behind all the secrecy.
Hello, Neighbour! is described as a first-person tactical puzzler. You will find yourself exploring open residential areas as you search for ways to enter your neighbor's house without his or her knowledge. Your neighbor will be controlled by extremely intelligent A.I. that is said to be able to react to your every move in an attempt to keep their house locked down.
The development team behind Hello, Neighbour! feels that many modern games lack A.I. depth, or just don't manage to use the technology to its full potential. In an attempt to change this trend, they have decided to create an intelligent system that can learn, study and react to your actions, and remember the decisions you have made and plan accordingly. This sounds like quite an ambitious idea, but if implemented properly it could easily turn out to be exceptional.
The story behind the game is that you have recently moved into a new neighborhood, and have discovered that your seemingly normal neighbor is hiding a malicious secret in his or her basement. Immediately, you begin to question your neighbor. Who is this person? What exactly is the reason behind them nailing their basement door shut? What horrors could be contained behind the reinforced basement door?
As your curiosity gets the best of you, you find yourself drawn to your neighbor's house. Unfortunately, finding a way into the house is no easy task, as your neighbor is quite aware of your plans and will react to every move that you make. Exploring the world will reward you with uncovering useful objects that will assist you in getting into the neighbor's house. However, these items can also be discovered and used by your neighbor, which they can then use to reinforce their house. While your house is small and safe, your neighbor's house is a sprawling, dangerous manor with very few weak points.
The longer you find yourself playing, the more difficult it will become to make it into the basement. As time passes, your neighbor will continue to reinforce their house in a way that will prevent you from making any progress into it. Making use of items is vital to achieving victory, but you must do so without alerting your neighbor at the risk of them discovering your plans and taking the proper countermeasures to prevent you from breaking in.
The goal of Hello, Neighbour! is to provide the most advanced and in-depth A.I. that we have ever seen. Whether it's reacting to your every move, or carefully planning a counter-strategy, your neighbor will do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. Entering the basement is your seemingly simple goal, but executing your plan to make it there will prove to be much more challenging than you originally anticipated. Your neighbor won't just be standing around. The entire time you are trying to make your way in, your neighbor will continue to build up his or her defenses, so you'll find yourself racing against the clock in an attempt to keep the difficulty from becoming impossible.
Hello, Neighbour! is an incredibly inventive game, with a very ambitious plan for its A.I. It is currently seeking approval on Steam Greenlight.

Tigers for Tomorrow
Tigers for Tomorrow on Untamed Mountain meets the high standards of feline care and facility management that are hallmarks of the Feline Conservation Federation facility accreditation.
The 140-acre preserve in Attalla, Alabama, is nestled in the Appalachian Mountains. Visitors come from neighboring big cities of Birmingham, Nashville and Chattanooga to see this beautiful, peaceful assembly of some of nature's crowning creations, the apex predators.
In the six years since Tigers for Tomorrow located to Alabama, the animal population has grown to 87 predators consisting of 30 tigers, eight lions, 13 cougars, 19 wolves, two serval, a Canada lynx and a Siberian lynx, two leopard, one bobcat, four black bears and one grizzly bear. Presently a 10-foot perimeter fence suitable to hold predators encloses 18 acres. If more animals come to the mountain preserve, Sue Steffens, the preserve's founder, says the perimeter fences will need to be expanded.
To run the facility, Sue and her husband Wilbur McCauley work full time, along with four other full time keepers, one to two interns, and ten volunteers in a core group and about ten more who help with functions and special projects.
Tigers for Tomorrow enclosures are built using nine-gauge chain link, even for the smaller cats. The smallest cat enclosure is 1000 sq feet; the largest is 7500 sq feet, and the wolf pack runs inside an acre enclosure. All of the large open topped enclosures are ten foot high and have a 3-foot, nine-gauge, 45-degree kick back, and an associated lock down area that is roofed. Tigers for Tomorrow is licensed as an exhibitor by both USDA and Alabama state wildlife department.

The absorption of some species X by a bacterial cell depends (i) on the concentration of receptors for species X and (ii) on the state of motion of the surrounding medium. The latter problem is particularly interesting, since without any restriction on the type of fluid, details of the flow field or kind of cell, an explicit expression for the increase in uptake is obtained. To study the interaction between neighboring receptor sites we concentrate on the limit of small area fraction. The result obtained correlates quite well with experimental data.

Refurbishment of a five storey terraced house in Hampstead including a part basement dig out involving underpinning and waterproofing to extend the full length of the rear garden. A glass bridge was installed above the double height atrium to provide access to the suspended outdoor area, complete with full width sliding patio doors and walk-on roof lights. Finishes included a folded stainless steel staircase, bespoke joinery and polished concrete and hardwood floors. A high tech security system with CCTV, video entry and AV installations throughout complimented the overall design of the property.
This project was featured in the 2011 RIBA Journal.

So – as you may have seen from my £5 Savings Plan blog post, which highlights that I'm planning on going travelling in the next year.
So I'm in the planning stages and as we all know, plans change. And change. And change. I'm now on plan 4 I think, and it looks like there will be two trips taken, rather than doing everything in one trip.
October this year might see me doing a stateside break, visiting friends in New York, North Carolina and California (where I'm doing a bit of a road trip!). For me, this is a really exciting trip as some of these people I haven't seen in about a decade, so I can't wait to catch up! This makes sense to split from the rest of my travels as it is a nice, self contained 3 week holiday really, for which I'll still get paid 🙂
In January, me and my best friend Poonam are off on a 4 month Asian Adventure, where we are planning on visiting the Indian Subcontinent for around 6 weeks – 2 months, starting in Nepal, heading through India (Dehli, Agra, Mumbai, Goa, Kerala) and finally into Sri Lanka.
After this we will be heading to South East Asia, where we have no plan. 2 months will be spent in the area, and from what we have been told, it's best not to bother arranging an 'itinerary' for this part of the world, best to get a flight in and a flight out and decide when you are there where to go next and the best way to do it.
Have a look at my map below, and if you think of good stuff for me to do/include in my trip, comment below!
I'll update soon with my most anticipated highlights of the Asian Adventure 🙂

Selection of the Right Adhesives
Adhesives are basically a material which usually in liquid or semi-liquid state and stick at least two items together. They are used very vastly around us due to the fact that they are easy to use and portable. Their uses extend from fixing the soles of shoes to repairing of wooden furniture. Although we may be oblivious to the fact, if we actually take notice, the use of adhesive is very important to us.
Carbon fiber composites make the car weight reduction. However, the carbon fiber poses a variety of joining challenges to engineers. They are faced with the need of choosing between mechanical fastening and adhesive bonding. Each of these assembly processes have pros and cons that need to be evaluated. The benefits of adhesive glue include
· Faster cure time
· Higher moisture resistance
· Superior resistance to high temperature
· Increased chemical resistance
Furthermore, they can produce continuous bond lines, producing strong joints which feature a good stress distribution. On the other hand, rivets and spot welds produce point source load management which often requires heavier, thicker materials. Adhesives provide inherent galvanic corrosion protective cover when joining together dissimilar materials- particularly carbon fiber composites.
Contact Adhesives
Where strong bond is required contact adhesives are not recommended. They're handy in normal use. Apply adhesive on the surfaces and wait for sometime. Then join both the surfaces and hold them tightly for some time.
Cyanoacrylate Adhesives
These adhesives are Cyanoacrylate esters based and are known for strong bonds. These adhesives are very easy to use and serve the purpose well. Put a small amount of these adhesives on the surface and join the other surface with it. Hold it for 10 seconds and you have a strong bond. These work by coming in reaction with a thin film of water on most surfaces. Too much glue or too much water will result in a weak bond at joints. No clamps are required to hold the two surfaces together. They are good at providing quick joints.
It is important to use these adhesives with ample care. Any contact with human skin will make a strong bond. So, it is advisable to avoid any contact with hands, especially your eyes. If possible use polythene gloves or goggles to prevent any contact with adhesives. Rubber gloves are not suitable for these kinds of adhesives. It is for this reason; keep those adhesives at places where children cannot reach them. In case you get this Cyanoacrylate on your skin, immediately put your hands into the warm soapy water and keep them there till it soften. Scrub it off the skins with the help of teaspoon handle.
Epoxy resins
Epoxy resins are used widely in the market. They are also powerful adhesives but they need more time to set, about 24 hours. These adhesives come in two parts a hardener and a resin. Both are mixed shortly before they are applied. Strong bond results due to the chemical reaction between resin and hardener that produces heat. Warming the joint can reduce the setting time.
Epoxy resins are not useful for flexible joints, as they inclined to be brittle after setting. Two-part acrylic adhesives are also there which are used for heat resistant metal joints. But these are not as effective as epoxy resins which have a strong gap filling properties. Apply one part on one surface and second part on second surface and hold the two surfaces joined together for 2-3 minutes. In this time the adhesive will set in position. Although the joint will become strong in few minutes but for full strength it will take up to 24 hours.The article about Hot Melt Adhesive from hotmelt-zp.com .

Cycling enthusiasts of all abilities can ride through some of Essex County's most beautiful landscapes when Essex County Greenbelt hosts its third annual road cycle event to benefit local land conservation on Saturday, September 16.
Whether a seasoned road cyclist or a beginner, you can enjoy at your own pace one of two routes offered by Tour de Greenbelt: a half-century (50 miles) and a shorter route (25 miles). The routes showcase more than 50 of Greenbelt's exquisite conserved properties.
"You can challenge yourself for your personal best time or slow down and enjoy the scenery," said Ed Becker, Greenbelt's president and avid cyclist, emphasizing that the event is for riders of all abilities.
Proceeds from Tour de Greenbelt will help conserve the region's farmland, wildlife habitat, scenic landscapes, and places for outdoor recreation. Since 1961, Greenbelt has been working with local individuals, families, farmers, and communities to protect the farmland, wildlife habitat, and scenic vistas of Essex County. Greenbelt has protected more than 16,000 acres of local land and has had a direct role in 75% of all land conserved in the last decade.
Greenbelt's historic Cox Reservation at 82 Eastern Avenue, Essex, MA will serve as the ride start and finish line for both routes, as well as a beautiful location for the post-ride festivities. The 31-acre saltwater farm offers expansive views of the Great Marsh and Essex Bay.
Ed Becker will lead a free "practice ride" of the route on Sunday morning, August 20, 9:00 a.m. from the Cox Reservation, 82 Eastern Avenue, Essex.
Riders can pre-register for Tour de Greenbelt online at bikereg.com/tour-de-greenbelt until 5:00 pm on Tuesday, September 12, or register on the morning of the event at the Cox Reservation. Pre-registration rates are $150 for Greenbelt members, and $175 for non-members. There is also a pre-registration fundraiser option, where riders may pre-register at a $50 rate with a commitment to raise an additional $200 to support Greenbelt. Event-day registration is $200 for members and non-members.
Event-day registration opens at 7:30 a.m. A safety briefing and course overview will begin at 8:40 a.m., followed by a staggered start at 9:00 a.m. for the 50-mile riders and at 9:45 a.m. for the 25-mile riders. Routes, maps, and cue sheets are available at www.tourdegreenbelt.org/.
Ride registration includes a bike jersey sponsored by Crafts Sportswear, water bottle, on route support provided by Seaside Cycle of Manchester, water stops, and raffle entry to win a men's or women's bike, compliments of Seaside Cycle and Lynx System Developers. Registration also includes a post-ride party featuring BBQ, non-alcoholic beverages, a ticket for Harpoon Ale, and live music. Family and friends are encouraged to join in the post-ride festivities, where additional tickets for BBQ and beer can be purchased.
The Title Sponsor of Tour de Greenbelt is The Institution for Savings. The Major sponsors of the ride are New England BioLabs and Cell Signaling Technology. Lead Sponsors are Mortgage Network and page Street Publishing.
