Xion's idea
After the events of the morning before, Lu Ten had avoided his sister.As she dragged him back, she explained how she fought that Pao was so much stronger, and that his fire bending was more finely executed than hers, that if he continued the fight, Lu would end up with 4th degree burn marks and would lose the ability to feel anything. Somehow, for some reason he thought differently. Like every morning, he washed his hair, dressed and then made his way down to the hall. He avoided crashing into servants, and when he entered the hall he was shocked to see his whole family waiting for him. His father Zhao at the end,his sister and mother to his left,and one other surprise, Kiba sat at the second chair to his right. He ran in and bumped fists with the younger boy, Kiba reminded him of Zolotoi, Zolotoi was Lu Ten's best friend, he had passed away several months ago on a badly planned mission and Lu Ten promised to take care of Kiba,sadly, like Lu he was a prodigy and prodigies were never given time to be kids. They were born for greatness, meaning he was exposed to Lu campaigns. Kiba took to battle like a caged animal set free.
They all greeted him, Zhao began by praising Kiba,
"Lu Ten! Come, join in celebrating Kiba's first successful mission! A true prodigy! A fine asset and friend, if only his father would join us, the celebration would be complete, his mother came and went, "no rest for the wicked" she says, completely true!". he laughed, obviously in a good mood, as he always was when he relieved good news.
They all congratulated him, Ursa kissed his fore head, and gave him a hug,her eyes sparkling with pride as she considered Kiba a second son. When Kiba's mother fell ill she could not take care of the boys, so Ursa took them in. They even combed her hair, and rubbed her feet in oil, as a way of giving thanks.
"Yes he's a fine young man,but don't push him to do anything ridiculous!"
"Miss Li, I assure you I'm prepared for any mission,I have faith in the Lord's judge of skill and character!" to which Zhao nodded his head and slapped Kiba's shoulder.
"Miss Li? I had thought you'd stop calling me that by now!" Ursa said, laughing, she glowed more than usual, and from the way she looked at Zhao he had the feeling that he had pleased her in some way or form.
"Kiba? Is it true you can bend water out of thin air?" asked Xion with obvious zeal.
"My father taught me! He's even better than I am and he promises me he has even greater things to teach me, if I can prove my self."
"What was the assignment?"
"I'd rather not go over details."He replied as a servant came by with the cabbage corp newspaper.
Lu read, and only found one article that truly interested him, an article about vigilantes that caused chaos in Silver Town, viciously maiming more than a dozen guards and destroying a wall that served as protection to vicious beasts. The report went on to say how the beasts charged the city, causing huge repair costs and mass disorder in the public. It also said that the city would struggle to regain control, and the authorities expected any city to return the vigilantes for trail and justice. Lu Ten quickly shared the article with his parents and Kiba, purposely excluding Xion who looked genuinely hurt by the notion. The article evoked a large debate, conversations born about The Beifong Legacy and Republic City, about vigilantes, then fighters which then procrastinated to the Arenas and Zhao's business, who had finally allowed his wife to take part in. Once the conversation died down, and they moved onto the after tea, Ursa brought up a different topic.
"I have recently spoken to Donnie, from the Tao part of your family, your uncle claims his village has become even more impressive, and that I should bring you all to visit, he wants to see jealousy on Zhao's face, and he wants to see your new skills!"
"I can't go, I have an important meeting soon, go with out me."He rumbled.
"Wait! That reminds me, Lu did you tell Xion?" asked Ursa.
"No, he didn't tell me anything."
"Why not?"
"I got distracted,that's all." He replied, avoiding Xion's gaze.
Xion asked "Well why don't you tell me now?"
Lu Ten was reluctant to involve her in anything,but in front of Zhao and his Mother he had no choice. "I was going to get Miyuki some thing, I was hoping you'd help me pick something..."
"For Miyuki, That's so cute!"
"Well...Something hard to find is best...Turtle Oysters! They have the best pearls in their shells...but they are hard to find, some of the Turtle Oysters spend years working on their pearls, sometimes they work on more than one, and they fight-"
"I can use my water bending, my brother found a big black one for my mother's birth day a few years ago...but it's hard to bend them out because apparently they can water bend, just like us but not as big." Interrupted Kiba.
"Then it's settled, we'll go down to the river bed, and catch some Turtle Oysters." Xion declared.
Miyuki's pearl
That day Xion, Lu and Kiba traveled in Satomobiles to the sixth village,as that one was closest to the river bed. They all brought extra clothes, and made their way to the cliff. There was a make shift wooden elevator, turned manually by workers. They all entered, and a worker lowered them down to the river bed. A large plot of land stayed untouched, this was were fishers sat, this was were they rolled up their trouser legs,and took a dip in the rushing stream. The stream burned them, stabbed them with a thousand frozen swords, and caused them to shiver and scream.Lu's body was covered in goose bumps, as he trudged along the freezing river bed. Xion trudged over next to him...
"You know I only said what I said yesterday to keep you safe-"
Lu had cut her off quickly, "I'm not scared of him, he'd probably end up dead anyway if dad found out."
"He still would've hurt you! Besides, what I do has nothing to do with you! I like him, I don't see why that would effect you-"
"I know him, he's not a nice guy to girls, why do you like him anyway?"
"I don't wanna sound like a cliche but he's BAD!"
"Forget it, I don't want to know,lets just focus on the Turtle Oysters"
For the prying open of shells he brought his hunting knife, a small,sharp blade. He searched the water, moved around slowly, feeling for Turtle Oysters...He could feel one by his ankle. He focused, until he saw it swimming by his ankle. He froze, and while it slipped away in the foamy tide he lunged out, catching the turtle Oyster in the palm of his right hand. He pulled up his dagger, but when the Turtle Oyster saw the sharp tool it waved it's paws and a sudden water whip lashed out and made direct contact with his nose. He doubled over in pain, a flow of blood dripped from nostrils. The pain subsided, but the blood drop reminded him of the vermilion flame he conjured yesterday. He quickly discarded the fought, and when on hunting.To his dismay,several more turtle oysters attacked him, one he was sure permanently scared him for life, just next to the corner of his left eye. His epic struggle with turtles continued for 2 whole hours, on guard he'd grab one and smash it down with out mercy, the shell didn't break but they did flip open, he discovered 6 worthless pearls, one turtle had 3 tiny ones. He turned to travel back to the plot of land, where he discovered Xion also had bad luck. He watched a dark grin creep onto her face, an ugly twitch appeared, just before she rained down fiery missiles upon the turtles, one after another, huge vapor clouds spurred into life, causing a mighty temperature change. She laughed a witch's cackle when she saw the 20 toasted turtle oysters. She cried "BWAH HAHAHA HAHA HAAHA ARGHHH HAHAHAAA HAHAHA!"As she began discovering numerous pearls of value, but not any Lu wanted to present to Miyuki. She continued to laugh when the crisply cooked turtle oysters lay their without their pearls. He buckled over in pain, grasping for air in between laughs till a wave of fire surged towards him, he was forced to dive back into the water.
The Red Flame
When he emerged from the deep, Kiba called him over. When Lu arrived he saw the mountain of turtle oysters Kiba had bended out of the water.They looked dry, left in the sun to render their bending useless.
"Let's get started then". Kiba announced.
For the next hour they all helped open up the waterless turtles, the pearls discovered were not what Lu wanted, so they were returned to their owners, when they became hungry, they fed on the turtles Xion had burnt to a crisp, Xion herself had a huge grin when she bit into the soft flesh.
Kiba began "So what do we do now?"
"We've been looking in all the wrong places, we should be looking for old turtle oysters, even dead ones, they'd have the best ones!" announced Xion. So they all turned back to the waters, and began the search for old folk to steal from. As he continued with Xion,they conversed like how they did when they were younger.Of memories, dreams, hopes,-
"No! You had the nightmare that mum turned into a dragon and ate you, not me!" shouted Lu.
"No, I specific--" Xion cut of mid sentence, Lu saw her looking at the opposite bank, at some distant couple. The couple were locked in each other's arms, kissing passionately.
"Xion,that's peep-" Lu also cut of mid sentence, when he payed closer attention, he realized that he recognized the tall male,it was Pao, his tongue in some other girls mouth.
"He isn't worth anything! Forget him!-"
He stopped for the second time,mid sentence, as a tear drop dripped down her cheek. This tear drop was followed by another, and then another,until she finally let her self embrace her tears, and she ran off, away from the scene of Pao kissing this mystery women. No one but Kiba saw the irises of Lu Ten's eyes go red. No one but Lu Ten felt the strange sensation occur again. His stomach knotted, his blood gushed faster, his emotions took control. He ran towards Pao, and screamed. Pao turned, when he saw Lu he smiled.
"Tell your sister that there is enough of me to share?no?Okay."
Arrogance flooded his face, he jumped forward, double stepped and released a ball of fire. The flame shot towards him, aimed dead center, this was when Lu Ten first discovered his clan gift. He, by some form of second nature he held his hand out, allowing the burning meteor to surge and make contact with his skin. The blaze melted, into a foamy, bloody, Vermilion flame, it rested in his palm,he turned the flame and shot out his own hand. The vermilion flame became a vermilion beam, it darted, fast as bender's lightning, amplifying a deafening cry, like a burning firework, emitting concentric ripples all along the beam, and as the raw form of energy came in contact with Pao's body, the beam blew, and split into several tails, like a fire work gone awry,the cry became a banshee's scream, a screen of smoke grew, but everybody, the workers, Kiba and the girl saw Pao's body blast backwards 15 meters, and create a crater where his body landed on a cliff face. Some how he managed to survive, he struggled onto his knees, his shot forward one more meteor, again he caught the flame, again he conjured the vermilion aura, but this time he pointed his hand to the back. The beam ejected, the ripples, the trailing fire works as he pressure caused him to shoot towards Pao, he some how managed to keep control and stopped directly in front, pushing all the energy and momentum into his palm, slapping down a deadly force unto Pao's cranium. Lu felt the bender's skull obliterate beneath his skin, a sea of blood gushed out of all openings, ears, noes, mouth and even his eyes. His head ripped open, the aura was seen pouring into his body. When Lu was finished, he observed his work, the thing that laid in the dirt was no longer human, just a lump of charred meat. Not even organs were recognizable.
Once his rage sub sided, he noticed the only one remaining was Kiba,he also noticed a dead Turtle Oyster,it had to be at least a hundred, it had a different color and was covered in crust. He slipped in his blade and pried the oyster shell open, within was the perfect pearl, a beautiful pearl of an emerald colour, the like of witch he had never seen.
The Clan
Back at the estate, Ursa held a weeping Xion in her arms, her body shook and vibrated, the tears flowed without a sign of finishing.
"Shhhh, Honey he'll never come next to you again, I'll make sure of that....I know,You've never felt like this, the first heart break is always the worst, I know it seems like the world will end, bu trust me, and you need to listen to me, that phase will come to pass..."
"But I was told your love only comes once in a life-"
"Whoever said that is a compulsive liar, they obviously died at a very young age, after living a miserable existence."
Zhao sat at his desk, his eyes were red, pained to see his daughter like this,excited to display what happens to any who disrespects his family. He was about to rise to personally hunt down Pao, by coincidence his servant ran to the door and knocked loudly. He was told to come in, and when he entered he quickly bowed and stood to give his message.
"My lord, Pao of the Chang tribe no longer lives, his life taken by none other than Lu Ten of your own family, witnesses describe a fire work like explosion...they say nothing is left to identify the charred remains." He bowed, and made his leave.
When he left, an eerie silence followed, Xion's tears stopped in a pained gasp, the fire instantly quenched as she breathed in. She rose, a few feet taller, glee apparent in her eyes,
"What does he mean by fire work?" Xion managed to utter.
"It seems that Lu Ten really does share his Father's blood."
Lu Ten arrived to a tense room of faces ecstatic in anticipating. Like some great secret was about to be released. He walked over to his fathers desk and sat in the opposite chair. He looked up expectantly.
"Is it true you killed Pao?"
"Yes Father." Lu had expected a fit of rage, but only glee was apparent in his father's eyes.
"Do you know how you did it?"
"No father?"
"But you conjured something?"
"Yes, some strange...flame...But only because I touched Pao's fire."
Zhao reached into his pocket, and pulled out a lighter, on the lighter was the Li symbol, a fiery star, in the middle of an ouroboros. He flicked the lighter open, a flame protruded from the hole. Zhao reached out, and left his hand directly over the fire. Suddenly his hand burst into flames and evoked screams. But he seemed unharmed. He rotated his hand so his palm faced the ceiling, the flame suddenly dilated, milked, and became the vermilion aura.
"Not much is actually known about our origins, only they dated back to the Sun warriors...All I can tell you is that we have different chi...mangled chi. It allows us to use fire and break it back down to the chi that created it and with that we can render other benders useless...Through out the Fire Nation's history we've appeared...at one point we even ruled much of the land...The Hong Zhi."
"If we were so mighty, why did we no longer use the same name?
"I thought you would ask me that. Firstly, before we documented our histories, the people rebelled against us and our unusual ways. They declared war, and most of our tribe died down. The strongest noble family were given the monarchy titles, and it was they who kept the last few members hidden. In the initiation of the 100 year war, we relinquished the Air Nomads, we could not handle the guilt that burdened our backs, so when Ozai came into power we refused to participate. A small tribe couldn't stand the whole military, so we fled here, and we changed our name."
His father handed him the lighter.
"One last question if I may, Father are we really the only family left?"
"No,there was one other family...but they cut their connections and just became mercenaries...but then again their style of red chi was some what different...more disciplined."
"This lighter? It's for me?"
"Yes, you are now an official Hong Zhi warrior."

Rainton services
(Google Maps link)
|North Yorkshire
|Previous operators:
|Station Supreme, Malthurst
|Grid reference:
|Services type:
|Two sites located between junctions, with no public connection between them.
Little Chef Wiki
Now a closed service station, Rainton used to be a large dual sided Little Chef site and before that a Happy Eater. However, a motorway upgrade got in the way and forced the services to close.
Former Facilities
Catering: Little Chef, Burger King (northbound only), Coffee Tempo! Forecourt: Texaco (northbound only)
Rainton Services were built in the 1970s by Station Supreme as a dual-sided service station with each side sporting a filling station and a café under the Station Supreme brand. Where the northbound café opened inside of a large, distinctive building with a sloping metal roof, the southbound café opened inside of a basically designed building with a flat packed roof.
In the 1980s, the services were bought by Happy Eater who replaced the two cafés with Happy Eater restaurants. In the process, the original southbound café was demolished in order to make way for a more modern building with the 70s/80s Happy Eater design, meaning that although both sides traded as Happy Eater restaurants, they looked completely different. The filling station on the southbound side was also demolished but the filling station on the northbound side was kept by Happy Eater.
In 1995, Forte bought the two Happy Eaters at the services and replaced them with Little Chef restaurants as part of their quest of converting all Happy Eaters into Little Chefs. It was said that Little Chef at the time was more profitable than Happy Eater so it therefore made sense for Little Chef to take over the restaurants at the services. In order to reflect the Little Chef brand, the metal roof of the northbound building was painted bright red.Owing to its prime location beside the busy A1, Forte wasted no time in adding a Little Chef Coffee Stop to the northbound restaurant in the mid 90s. The Coffee Stop was however very short lived and was soon replaced with a Burger King when Granada took over Little Chef in 1995/96.
In 2004, Little Chef's owners at the time, Permira, decided to close the southbound Little Chef in order to focus on the longer established Little Chef branch at Sinderby, less than 10 miles north. However, a complete U-Turn was made in 2005 when new Little Chef owners, The People's Restaurant Company, happily reopened the southbound Little Chef, opting instead to close Sinderby.
In 2006, a Coffee Tempo! outlet was built alongside the Little Chef on the northbound side.
In 2008, there were plans to upgrade the A1 between Dishforth and Leeming Bar to motorway which also involved widening the road which would take up Rainton Services as part of the expansion. For a while it looked like a new MSA would be built here, but plans never materialised as the owners, Malthurst, were more interested in a site near the A61. Consequently, the southbound services were compulsory purchased as part of the roadworks, therefore the Little Chef on site closed in late 2008/early 2009 and was demolished soon after as the first part of the widening took place. As there were no plans to save the northbound services, it looked like a complete end to Rainton Services. In late 2009, the Little Chef, Burger King and Coffee Tempo! on the northbound side ceased trading and the main building then left boarded up. The last to go was the Texaco petrol station which closed on 3 January 2010, marking the end of Rainton Services. Given that Rainton North was one of Little Chef's busiest sites the closure must have been a real blow.
Rainton has since been vandalised and is slowly falling to ruin, and has been visited by a few "Urban Explorers". 28 Days Later hosts pictures of its state in February 2015.
In mid 2015, the former Little Chef was demolished and is now being rebuilt, however the former Texaco shop is still standing and is being vandalised quite frequently.

Feb 2014 Southern Caribbean cruise: Jewel of the Seas Cruise Review by gfd_2
Overall Member Rating
Feb 2014 Southern Caribbean cruise
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: San Juan
The choice of ports was great; however, I wish RCL would allow for more time on the excursions. Most of the beach excursions were slated to last 4 hours which, after 10 minutes or so to load everyone on the vessel More plus the time to drive out and return, is not really enough time to enjoy the sun and surf. At each port we opted to take grab a taxi and head out to the beaches on our own.
We caught 3 of the on board shows - The Platters, the magician (forget his name) and the comedian (again, forget his name) - all were well done. The ship's orchestra does a great job as backup for an act or when they were on their own and Dennis Charles did a great job as Cruise Director.
My pet peeve is the deck chair hogs. Deck space during the day at sea is at a premium and RCL should provide a crew whose sole job is to deal with the chair hogs who toss a towel on chairs at 7 and don't show up until 10 or 11. Use time stamped stickers on reserved chairs and if no one is using them after 30 minutes, remove they belongings and hold them at the towel stations. Again, this is my only real complaint but I'm sure it's a problem no matter which cruise line one chooses. Overall we love the Radiance class ships. RCL has a great crew who provide great service. We'll be back in February 2015. Less

We love deck 9, two below the pool and 2 above the casino - nice and quiet.
Port and Shore Excursions
We love this island, the last three trips we grab a cab and head to one of the many fantastic beaches and hang out for the day.
This is a lush and tropical islands. We did an excursion in 2011; however, the sites are quite a distance from one another. Since then we wonder around the market area then head back to the ship for quality poolside time.
We pick a beach using reviews on C/C and other sites then grab a cab at the pier. Great island with beautiful beaches.
We love JVD; however, the 4 hours allotted for this excursion isn't enough time. Next year we'll either find a private tour operator to bring us over to JVD or we'll find a beach on Tortola.

Low dose of D-cycloserine (DCS), a partial agonist of glycine binding site on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, can facilitate extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) activity in the amygdala and modulate emotional behavior. However, the relationship between ERK1/2 activation, individual anxiety levels, and DCS is unknown. Therefore, based on… (More)
Today many complex ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) designs use standard I/O interfaces in order to make sure that they can cooperate correctly with other components from different vendors.

The electrostatic discharge (ESD) problem has become a challenging reliability issue in nanometer circuit design. High voltages resulted from ESD might cause high current densities in a small device and burn it out, so on-chip protection circuits for IC pads are required. To reduce the design cost, the protection circuit should be added only for the IC pads… (More)

Scaling with cloud computing and SaaS
Both cloud computing and SaaS (software as a service) deliver the ability for companies to scale resources on-demand.
SaaS scales applications. In the SaaS world, companies can scale applications. Because SaaS implies outsourcing, this means that the SaaS provider can easily scale application(s) that they manage for customers. Savings are obtained by aggregating computing patterns across multiple customers.
Clouds scale computing resources. In the cloud computing world, companies can scale computing resources. Unlike SaaS, clouds can be managed internally (private clouds), externally (outsourced clouds), or using a combination of internal and external clouds. Savings are obtained in two ways – first by aggregating computing patterns across applications and second by aggregating computing patterns across customers (external clouds).
Relating this to Accounting, ERP, and CRM
When looking at accounting, ERP, and CRM applications, we agree with Larry Augustin, CEO of SugarCRM, who in a recent blog post in SFGate says "the need for data ownership, control, customization, and integration with core systems will drive the need for private clouds." He goes on to predict that "Cloud computing is obsoleting SaaS as defined by Salesforce, NetSuite, and single-vendor solutions."
For applications such as ERP which may require customization and compliance with regulations, select an application that is built to be run on internal and external clouds. SaaS is a great option, but make sure that you do not get locked into a single vendor which will limit your options in the long run.

*Big news for this up coming weekend is the King of The Street Shootout Saturday Night, it is time to put up or shut up so too speak as we are going to find out this coming Saturday Night just who is "King" of the streets. The race will take place after the Napa Tour, Canadian Super Tour races and will be part of the Jet Truck Night of Fire event. We have some very fast street cars and this weekend we are going to find out who is the best of the best, if its got an ownership its a street car, slicks, open headers, nitrous, blowers and super charges are all in, run what you brung and hope you brung enough.
*Again we remind everyone that both gates will be open for parking Thursday, all teams parked by management, once in place go too restaurant to register. If you want your unit pointing south come in the gate by the tower, if you want to be pointing North, the gate off of Tremblay road. We will try and get as many back into the same spots they had for the Bonanza as that seemed to work well for most, Gates will open again Friday Morning for entree's use the same thinking when coming in. We plan on a gamblers race Friday Night, and we will start time trials on Saturday Morning at 9 AM. as we will on Sunday. This is a weekend that has the potential to be larger than the Bonanza car count wise as it is also two tours that will touch down at the same time, so we will need every inch of space we have. NO other cars allowed in the pits, race car and tow vehicle THATS IT.
* Banquet, yes Banquet tickets are now available from Diane in the Restaurant and will be for the remaining of the season which is fast, fast, fast coming to an end. I would remind everyone that the new venue for the banquet that we where in last year does not hold an unlimited number of people and only so many tickets are available so get them early, NONE will be available at the door. I would also remind everyone that the color YELLOW is the theme this season, lets hope everyone gets in the mood, special prizes for those that do.
*We can now confirm that this area's most popular band will be part of the 2017 Bracket Bonanza, AMBUSH, has signed on to be the entertainment package for Saturday night of the Richest Bracket Race in Canada. This along with other major changes including a increase in the payout, and the big money race going on Saturday should go a long way in making what was already the best bracket race in Canada, even better.
*Wow the good news just keeps coming, as another new super pro ride has been confirmed not only for the remainder of the season but for next year as well. Scott Wilson has bought Ed Laporte Semi Pro Truck and former Jr. Dragster pilot Kenyon Paine will drive the truck for the rest of the season. But the good news doesn't stop there as we are all excited about the news that Tad Kaminski has bought Brad Silverthron's Roadster and will return too the drag racing wars in 2017 with it. Tad and Laura have been a BIG part of Luskville Dragway and not having them around every weekend has been noticed by everyone and they have been missed by all. Having the Roadster stay close to home is great news and having it in the hands of these folks just doubles the good in the phrase good news.
*With sunny skies and great temperatures it was no surprise that the Speedy Glass Rockland turned out to be one of the better cruise nights of the season so far. Dan Couturier the owner of Speedy Glass has not been very lucky the last couple of years as the weather man has been a little unkind, but not this season and it showed with a great turnout. The day started off good with a great showing of fast street cars, as well as a number of race cars testing and getting ready for next weekends big Super Tour/Napa Tour event.
Two years ago we switched our points systems to what they are today, 200 for live round wins, and 100 for buy back round wins, and boy does it work, just look at what is happening in most of the points battles this year at Luskville and in the tours. Heading into this past weekend Derek Malcolm and Mike Chenier where tied for the lead in Super Pro with others banging on their door. In the Super Pro Napa tour Jamie Tupper leads but that is not a sure thing with four days of racing left even Jamie knows anything can happen. With the hottest driver around Mike Chenier breathing down the back of Jamie's neck you can bet that Tupper will come to the party the long weekend in Sept and I-car, with a number of guns. In the Canadian Bracket Super Tour, yes Kyle Jessup has the lead but with 5 drivers sniffing down his neck and only 4 live rounds separating him from six place driver Derek Malcolm here two anything can happen. The semi Pro ranks see's Jim Hewitt with what looks like a solid lead over 2015 champ Steve Ballntyne, but here two anything can happen with as many races left that there is. The Jr. Class at Luskville Dragway will come right down to the last day you can bet with Ashley Ogilvie battling off last years champ Landyn Urslak in an effort to leave the Jr class as a champion. On the Napa tour upstart Dan Sproule is doing his best to become the newest Semi Pro Champ with two entree's sitting second and third he is trying hard to catch Fred Ellis who leads the pack. Fred who is trying to regain the championship he lost to Bill Nolan in 2015 will be strong heading down the stretch. In the Canadian Bracket Tour one of the best foot brake racers out of Montreal, Fred MacDonald leads the way in Semi Pro but a number of drivers are breathing hot breath down the back of Fred's neck. Cyrville Laflamme, Rob Graveline, Yves Poirier and Erick Corriveau all are with in Striking distance of the leader. The Canadian Bracket Super Tour, AC Towing, Montreal Trailers Jr. Dragster championship will also be decided this weekend with Landyn Urslak, Naomi Ballabey and Ashley Ogilvie all in a dead heat for the title. This weekend is going to be just like ABC use to say, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, as unlike baseball or hockey, drag racing only has ONE person as the champion.
We have often talked about how wrong the weather man usually is, and this past Sunday was a perfect example of just that, as a forecast for showers, rain and thunder showers for Sunday NEVER materialized, kind of. Yes closing out the Speedy Glass Rockland Cruise Night had all of us, including myself confident that we would be going home early on Sunday. Speaking of the cruise night it was not the biggest of the summer but was the second biggest, so hopes are still high that we can beat this years record for street cars on a Saturday night. However after waking up around 5am and looking outside it was pretty evident that once again the weather man was WRONG. So time trials got underway right on time, and eliminations actually got going a little bit ahead of time as everyone didn't want to take a chance on the weather which still had the prediction of rain in the afternoon. As things wound there way down to the semi finals a number of big names where sitting on the side lines in a race that was not overwhelmed by entree's as you can imagine with the weather man being our anti PR person. The Jr. Dragster show was its usual turnout minus only one or two and it boiled down to veterans going at it in the finals, Ben VanNoppen and Landyn Urslak would take each other on with VanNoppen taking the win and the cash that went with it. In the Semi Pro Finals Wes Clarmo was once again the centre of attention as this rookie was on his way to another final, only this time he finished the job and took the win. So now the story ends, as the weather man wins out with the finals in super pro undone, Mike Chenier and Troy Davis will come back to finish what they started, next Friday night before the gamblers race. Following the race a large group made their way back to Busters Bar and Grill for a back to the bar party that was a blast.
*Yes the summer is almost over, but we still have some very big weekends to go before that and all we can hope for is some good weather, as that has been the fly in the ointment all season. Other than the Malcolm Carpentry Opening weekend, and the Bracket Bonanza the weather has played a part in making our season not one of the best all season long. So with that as a back drop we remind everyone that the D&D Performance Fall Bracket Finals is just around the corner and it will be set up just like the Bonanza. NO CARS other than the tow vehicle and the race car will be allowed in the pits, (please don't ask to be an exception as there will be none). come in the gate that best fits which way you park, if you have never been come in the gate off of Tremblay road, this just make for much easier parking and much less confusion. Just a reminder there will be a cruise night Saturday Night so after the races are over, please put your cars in the trailers to give us as much room for street cars as we can get, if the weather is good we could set some new records once again.
*Just a reminder also that the King of the Track will contested on Sunday Sept 11 and will part of the Randys Performance Bonus Bucks Day, with all in competition have a shot at the Wally and king of the track. You must win your class, Super Pro or Semi Pro and then winners will face off for the Championship. I would also remind everyone that it will also be our final back to the bar party, and ALL payouts and presentations will take place at Busters Bar and Grill, support those that support us.
*Something that ran under the radar a little bit at this past weekends Chew That Super Weekend, was the 101 for Ladies in Racing put on by Shannon and Paolo Giust, and which was very well attended in the Luskville Dragway bar. Shannon had a full house of Ladies who by all accounts had a great time, as Shannon and Paolo went through the do's and don'ts of drag racing with a full power point show. I cant not thank Paolo and Shannon for not only financially supporting Luskville Dragway, but for their incredible moral and vocal support as well, it would be easy to say that Paolo and Shannon are the Wayne Young of today. Should also be noted that Shannon made some shake down runs in her new Camaro drag car looking better on each and every pass, it didn't stop there as anyone stopping by their pit area was able to watch the Hip Concert from Kingston Live, which many did.
*Jon Chen "Johnny Nitro" also liked the new pavement as he reset the track record for street bikes with a blistering 8.91 run as he was tuning up for next weekends Speedy Glass Rockland Cruise Night and Bike Shootout.
Like most of the season the Chew That Super Weekend was affected by the weather man, its seems like that is all we have been talking about this summer, rain out after rain out, and this makes 7, not a record by one shy of being just that. I some time wonder how we have gotten so many important races in with the way the weather is not cooperated, but all three of our Napa Auto Parts Races are in the books with only two left. And three of our Super Tour weekends in with only one left, now don't get me wrong we have had rain problems at all of these events except the Bonanza, but we where able to get all events in and complete.
First of all we all would like thank Paolo Giust and Shannon Giust for everything they do for Luskville Dragway, financially, morally and verbally this pair go above and beyond to help make Luskville Dragway a special place and they do a dam good job of it.
The pits did start to fill however on Friday Night as everyone was anxious to get back to their home base after no racing at Luskville Dragway for two weeks with the crew on the road up North. Saturday morning dawned with lots of sunshine and more cars coming through the gates even with the chance of showers in the Saturday forecast. Well the chance of showers did happen but not enough to even dampen the spirits of anyone as only a short delay was required until the skies cleared up for the rest of the day. As racing wound its way down the ladder the jr. program was shaping to be Ben VanNoppen and Brody Bellefeuille with Ben VanNoppen taking the win. The semi pro class saw Wes Clarmo had a win light back to Rai Pillwein the semi finals after taking the better start. The other semi final saw Jimmy Hewitt the points leader take out Mark Thompson to set up a all Chevy Final
In Super Pro Kyle Jessup would take the win over Derek Malcolm as Derek would break out by.001 , who would then move against the winner of Mike Chenier and Jamie Clarmo. The winner there was Mike Chenier who has been a on a very hot streak of late. In the finals Mike Chenier would take the win over Jessup who has also had a good year but not enough this time around. What should be pointed out as well is the fact that Clarmo was not driving the familiar Orange Dragster as he was actually breaking in his sons new 1980 Malibu which was a beauty with orange and black. So with that all behind us we all set back a little and watch another cruise night unfold, with the forecast for rain on Sunday some late night partying did take place.
*This is with out a question been a busy season even though we have now been rained out 6 times Luskville Dragway this summer as another cruise night was washed out by Mother Nature, while the Napa Tour was touching down in Wawa. And now we head home to the "Chew That Weekend" which produced the biggest cruise night of 2015. The weekend will feature two days of racing, for super pro, semi pro and Jrs. with a cruise night Saturday Night, and Big Bucks for Sunday. We would also like to point out that this is also a Busters Bar and Grill back to the Bar Party, seems like its been a long time since we showed our support for one of our great advertisers. And after a regular Sunday to regroup, we present what could just be the biggest race car count of the summer, The D&D Performance Fall Bracket Nationals, which is a Napa Auto Parts Money Tour event as well as a Napa Canadian Super Tour Points race. So with out question the Long weekend in Sept which will also feature Rick "Hollywood" Kopp and the Phyro Jet Truck could reset some records for sure.
*Just a reminder too everyone that the rules about street cars and extra vehicles that was a huge success for everyone at this years Bracket Bonanza will once again be in place for the upcoming D&D Performance Fall Bracket Finals, which could see a larger car count than the Bonanza as it is not only a Napa Tour race, but a Canadian Bracket Super Tour event as well. We where tapped for space as everyone present could see, and needed every single inch of space we could muster up. We are working on some extra improvements and with any kind of luck will help out a little come the long weekend in Sept. But if we get the weather like we did for the Bracket, "look out".
*As we stated last week, we are already working on more improvements, and the 2017 schedule with a great deal of emphasis on the 36th. Annual Bracket Bonanza Aug 3-4-5-6/2017. We will be pulling out all the stops to make sure that we set more records and have more happy customers in 2017 than we did at the most successful Bonanza we ever had this past season. A number of changes that have already been discussed and will be put into place, which will include FRIDAY afternoon for the High Rollers, Friday Night for the Golf Cart Race, A name brand band, Bigger Payouts with SATURDAY being the BIGGEST of the weekend. Make know bones about it, from the moment the 2016 addition of the Bonanza was almost over, changes and ideas where being tossed around for the 2017 version, in an effort to make it even better than 2016.
*Fox Sports should be applauded for their television coverage of NHRA Drag Racing, I have to be honest when it was announced I thought here we go again, with all words and no Action. The fact that they let Mike Dunn go didn't make my support any stronger either, BUT I was wrong, the coverage i have watched so far as been almost as good as Diamond P Productions (remember them) in fact I have to say I think they have brought the coverage a long ways, and their analysis portion are good. I would like to believe that this coverage was part of the reason loyal Football advertisers like Poppa John's Pizza signed on with Leah Pritchett, as did others. Drag Racing is not easy to televise as there is a lot of down time and for motorsports fans who are used to only having down time, after a big accident (circle track racing) this is an issue. So I am pleasantly pleased with what i have seen so far, probably have to put a few more crashes in to attract the non loyal drag racing crowd, but do what ever it takes to introduce more and more people to Championship Drag Racing and I'm all for it.
*It never stops, look for some BIG NEWS surrounding the Canadian Bracket Finals at I-Car Sept 23-24-25th, sure it will make everyone 10 times happier than they were before the announcement. Good things
*Besides the horrendous crash by Chris Burry on Friday of the Provost Contracting Northern Nationals there was plenty of other carnage as well. Kyle Jessup blew his transmission up just prior to the Burry crash and with the long down time for clean up was able to get a borrowed trans from Mike Chenier in the car with help from many. Rachel Ogilvie was the next when a gear set busted in her dragster, the ironic of this was they took the gear set out of Chris Burry's crashed dragster and put it in Rachel's car. Then to top it off, Burry's team mate Mark Giullmette blew up his trans in the blown big block Chevy dragster.
|WAWA 2016, 5th ANNUAL PROVOST
1. Headed out for the Northern Nationals in Wawa, Ontario right on time and under bright sunny skies, after spending Tuesday night Sault Ste. Marie we arrived in Wawa early morning Wednesday once again with the sun still shinning. However the out look at this point of the week was for a mixed bag of things for the weekend, but we all know now wrong they can be, but different scenario plans where going through my mind just the same. The main goal would be too get all three days in, but everyone knows that sometimes you have to make adjustments because of mother nature.
2.Thursday dawned and for once the weather man was wrong as although the skies where cloudy only a few showers occurred over night, and cooled things down for set up day number two. The rest of the team arrived around 3pm and so did the race cars start to arrive for pre race registration, and the kick off party Thursday Night at the Wawa Motor Inn. As racers started to arrive you could feel the excitement start to build, and with the weather forecast getting better the excitement meter was pushed even higher. But don't get me wrong it did rain during the set up, infact for the first time since 1995 it rained hard as bleachers where put in place, control towers were erected, and fences and guard railing was installed. By the time darkness came there was what looked like a drag strip starting to unfold, the rain did also put a damper on the annual race car parade, but that being said it did not put a damper on the fun in the Wawa Motor Inn Bar.
3. So with the Thursday rain behind us Friday dawned bright and pretty and the pits filled quickly as once again the North was prime for NHRA Drag Racing. Time Trials got underway at 2 pm with everyone getting there fill of time shots as run after run where made pre seeding the Gamblers race. However everything did not go as well as planned with that, as about half way through the super pro rounds Chris Burry who was making a time shot in his rear engine dragster was involved in a accident that had everyone's mouth dropping. Approaching the finish it looked like the left front wheel broke off the car sending the car into a horrific barrel roll which saw the car tumble 6 to 8 times on the asphalt before coming to rest. The only good news coming out of this story was the fact that Chris was not injured at all, and was out of the car and walking around by the time we reached him. The car however was a total write off, with not much left to salvage but some parts, and that is another story. Kyle Jessup would use the down time from the incident to replace a broken transmission and go on to defeat Chris Manzo in the finals for the super pro gamblers title and $1000. Semi Pro would see two drivers from Kirkland Lake go to the finals as Alan Siebart would meet and defeat Paul Robilard for $1000. first place prize package. Jr. Dragster gambler was won by Madison Millette and the Street Shootout was won by Pat Fowler. All in all a great day, HOWEVER what had been a great forecast for Saturday on Friday became a bad forecast by Friday Night, so fingers where crossed for Saturday morning and what the weather man would bring.
4. Saturday morning dawned and for once or twice, the weather man was wrong again, no rain until well into the day even though it was suppose to rain first thing in the morning, so it looked like things might actually get done but that was not to be as rain did hit around 5 the time it was suppose to clear up. So with things in all class's down too controllable numbers and the rain falling hard the decision was sent out for the completion to happen Sunday Morning prior to Sundays race. So lets just press the button to Sunday Morning for Saturdays finishing up, and set the stage as nobody was given a time trial, things would just continue where we left off from Saturday. The first big win would go too James Dumont who would defeat Ashley Ogilvie fo the Jr. Dragster title, Sled/Bike Class would go to Brandon Knobel who would defeat Dave Leslie. The $1000. King of the street championship was Gregg Hall who beat up on Devin Smith in the Finals. Super Pro had 14 cars carried over from the rain out but only two could make there way to the finals. But it was Veteran drivers who would come to the line for the finals of Super Pro where Mike Chenier would defeat Jamie Tupper for the $5000 pot. Jody Dalcourt of Elliot Lake was the big Semi Pro winner on Saturday for his first $2000. win.
5.Sundays real deal would kick right off following the completion of the Saturdays race, and here everyone was given two time shots to get things sorted out. After a number of minor delays things got going along very well and even though we basically did two races things wrapped up right on time at 4 pm. The Big winners this day where as follows, Jr. Dragster would see Ashley Ogilvie pick up $1000 in the big pay day race, Kim Grant of Kirkland Lake in the Semi Pro event, Dave Southam in Sleds/Bikes. The winner of the $10,000 Super Pro Pay Day was none other than Bill Yorkchuck and this with out question was the high light of the weekend for many, as this is a man who is like but all.
*Wow the big one is behind us, and like it is every year the weekend after always seems to be so dead, its kind of like the day after Christmas. You wait all year for Christmas to get here, and then "boom" its here and the day is over and the day after seems really, really dead, that's the feeling the weekend after the Bonanza gives most. However when you step back and regroup, things don't stop as we head out later today for Wawa, Ontario and the third stop on the Napa Auto Parts Money Tour. Looking foreword too the Bonanza is always fun, hoping for great weather just too see what kind of turnout we can get, and quess what, this year we got the weather, and this year we got the turnout we dreamed for. So now we look forward too this weekends Wawa Northern Nationals, the week after that is the Chew That weekend, which produced the biggest cruise night of 2015, two weeks later The Fall Bracket Nationals and the Bandit Motorsports Jet Truck Show the long weekend in Sept, The Bracket Finals at I-Car and the OCTOBERFAST at Luskville, oh I quess we don't have to get withdrawals just yet after all.
*JUST how much bigger could the Bonanza have been, well just count the local guys who did not show up, You know we often talk about the southern Ontario racers who shy away of the Bonanza because of the stiff competition, but how about those right from here who decided to not buy a ticket. Now yes there are some who just could not be there and we understand that, but there where some who passed the big one up for no reason but they thought they could not compete, that did nothing for the betterment of the sport we all love. But that being said most would agree that this years Bracket Bonanza has a high mark to live up too and for us to work for to be better next year, and I can tell you right now that we have already started and we will out do this years in 2017. We can tell you that Friday will be a full race day, the golf cart race will be Friday Night and will carry a HUGE purse, a name brand band will be brought it, one that will attract others, and the BIG MONEY DAY will be Saturday with Sunday being the $10,000. day for Super Pro.
*As most racers know Luskville Points races don't happen for a couple of weeks, (Chew That Weekend 20-21) and if your not coming too Wawa with us, there is a racetrack just down the road that has an event, Shannonville is open on the August 13-14 weekend. A number of Shannonville drivers have been at Luskville Dragway supporting us, so if you can and your not on your way to Wawa give it some thought, take the trip and show them some support. "Trevor" says 100% guaranteed fun, and I know Trevor and he never lets us down on that.
*So heading into this past weekend it was a real wind down for all of us after the Bonanza, but yet the show must go on for those that want to test and for the street car folks who have had nothing for two weeks. And yes you can always count on Luskville Dragway for something different even on a off weekend. Chris Tapp who is known as the guru of import performance owning all of the track records for years now when he campaigned cars in that class. Well Chris showed up this weekend with his twin children who will soon be six, and a all electric car that he build from scratch. As he was with the import stuff he is with the electric stuff, as he laid down some low 12 second pass's in his first ever drag day with the car. Once again he showed his genius, GM and Ford should take some notes, Chris Tapp owns and operates Tapp Auto a long time supporter of Luskville Dragway.
You have heard us talk many times about the atmosphere that surrounds the races up North, Elliott Lake and Wawa, but its really hard to put into words unless you have taken part in one of these two events. Wawa has this incredible Motel (Wawa Motor In) with this unreal dinning room that takes you back to the glory days when mining was spectacular in the North and Money was plenty. The food in better than most 5star restaurants in the big city, the stone fireplace is larger than most garages and the friendliness of all in town goes with out saying is unreal. When you enter the town the first thing you see of course is this goose that is as tall as a two story house, but that is not the only one you will see as this is what this town's landmark is. Of course there is the Young's General store, which once again takes you back to the good old days, right down the pickle barrel where you can buy a single pickle if you choose. Thursday night the party begins with a huge parade lead by the fire department and the OPP all of which join in to make this weekend happen, racers are rolling in and registering, friendships are rekindled and bragging begins on who his going to walk away with the 10,000 on Sunday. We live in this great country and many of us, including myself, take so much of its beauty and heritage for granted, and feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy our trip to Wawa each year, it just reinstates to me, something i have long been proud to say, WE LIVE IN THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.
*With the Bonanza done, and in the history books its time too once again look down the road and the next Napa Tour event in Wawa, Ontario for the Provost Nationals 5th Annual Northern Nationals. This weekend Luskville Dragway will have just a test and tune day, and a cruise night as we head into the last half of the season, we will have more on the King of the Track Race, Randy's Performance bonus bucks later on this week, as we will be updating all week long.
* The Bonanza set all kinds of car count and spectator count records, but we also set the new track et record for a Jet Car as Dan Sullivan blasted that too a new 3.65 on the new pavement. The Chicago Rush Jet Car is one of the best in the business and always SHOWS UP" and puts on a hell of a show. Don't forget Rick "Hollywood" Kopp and the Phyro Jet Truck will be here in Sept along with the next Napa Auto Parts Tour, and the Canadian Bracket Super Tour as well.
*Not having the movement of street cars in the pits was enforced heavily, but it paid off as everyone cooperated and it made all the difference in the world as race cars did not have to deal with that when returning to the pits, or going too the lanes, it will be enforced again at the Fall Bracket Finals Canadian Super Tour and Napa Auto Parts Tour event.
THURSDAY DAY ONE: The Bracket Bonanza is a different race, its not just a bracket race for big money, its a event, a happening the US Nationals for Bracket racers and this year was even more special as we celebrated 35 years of this event. Thursday was move in day, and move in they did as the pits swelled too the seems with race cars and haulers and everyone kept saying the same thing, its going to be HUGE this year, and it was easy to see it was as by Thursday night almost all of the regular pits spots where taken. Never before had so many cars showed up this early and it was also easy to see the attendance records where about too be broken when Friday rolled around. The atmosphere in the pits was incredible as drivers from the US and Canada who sometimes only get too se each other once a year where reconnecting, having a beer and a conversation that for some lasted well into the morning hours. But that was good as things would not start to happen until 1 pm Friday with time shots.
FRIDAY DAY TWO: Well by day two everyone was quite aware that they were taking part in a record setting weekend at Luskville Dragway and its annual Bracket Bonanza. NEVER had the pits been so full as cars where parked along the return road all the way too the end of the track, not the end of the quarter mile but the end of the track. It was very humbling to have this many quality race cars from all over the US and Canada converge on little old Luskville Dragway but it is what we have been working for , for the last number of years. Yes this looked like the big one, and for some the big payout came about this Friday. In the Jr. Dragster Ogilvie Auto and Fleet High roller Ashley Ogilvie would take on Ben VanNoppen for all the money and the glory, with Ben taking both with a win light. The Semi Pro Gamblers Race was a pretty good field with the finals boiling down to two Luskville Dragway regulars, Rookie of the year candidate Wes Clarmo would go up against veteran Darryl Jensen with Jensen taking the 1100 dollars first place prize money. The Super Pro Door Car side was a pretty good field this year, and running for a pretty good purse, $3000. and that would be taken by Darren Frasso who met and defeated Dave Gunn, from Hamilton Ontario.
the BIG DOG SHOOTOUT was the one everyone had come to see, with 15,000 dollars up to win 30 cars made the first round call including Darren Frasso and Tim Quinton. The field was also filled with some of the biggest names in US Bracket Racing, with the likes of Kyle Culteara, Frank Mark Sr. and Jr. Jimmy Diciacco, Paul Bochon and boys, and the list goes on and on. But in the final it would boil down to a couple of drivers from the Napa Tour, Kyle Jessup and Fred Angers. As the finals rolled around the skies where dark and the air was quick and that showed as Angers took another Wally home from Luskville Dragway, The win was worth 15,000 dollar and the honor of being the biggest winner of the weekend so far. So even though I'm not someone who is usually lost for words, I was this day as I knew with out even counting, with out adding anything up, this was already the biggest, the best Bracket Bonanza EVER.
SATURDAY DAY THREE: By now we knew that records would be thrown out the window, from everything like the weather, to race car count, to spectator count, to A new track record for jet cars laid down by Dan Sullivan. Yes the 35th would go down in the history books as a record setting special weekend of racing, partying and just plain having fun. Racing got underway right on time at 9am sharp and after two rounds of time trials, eliminations also got underway on time as things flew by run after run. Jr. Dragsters was dozen car field and North Bays Julien Laporte out last all he took on to come out on top of the Saturday Jr. Program. Semi Pro was a 50 car field which was made up of some of the best in the business, and it was one of the best in the business who came out on top as Fred Ellis made his way too the winners circle for the Saturday Program. All eyes was on Super Pro of course as some of the best US Based Drag Racers where present to take on all of the Canadians. Drivers like Kyle Culteara from Maine, Josh Speck from New York, Jimmy DiCiacco from New York, Frank Mark Sr. and Jr. from New Jersey and the Bochon 3 car team from Pennsylvania. In the end it would Frank Mark Jr. who would make his way to the winners circle for the second big payout of the weekend as he met and defeated Darren Frasso, and the big one still to come. The golf cart race was once again spectacular with close too 60 entrees and 1200. dollars to win, Kyle Culteara showed his skill is not just in running a very fast dragster, but he can also wheel a pretty good golf cart as well as he showed everyone how it is done and took home the first place cash. Then Steak dinners for everyone, a live band for everyone, and jet car line show and fireworks display that shook the ground was also on tap for everyone to enjoy.
NOW it was Sunday and the big one, the one that everyone was waiting for and with so many big name bracket racers from Canada and the US most would have bet it would be one of them picking up the $13500. first place prize money. But that was not the case as big name after big name would fall by the way side as the field was dwindled down to 8, then four, then two and then the winner. Now winning was great money but so was coming in the top 16 as that round paid $500 and covered your weekend the quarters was $750, the semis was 1000. to runner up it was $2500. Heading into the round of four there would be three dragsters and a lone door car, that of John Simeoni of Sudbury, Ontario who would fall in that round setting the stage for a all dragster final. The other semi featured Big Bucks Bracket Pro out the US Jimmy DiCiacco who looked like a top contender for the big one, however that would not be the case as Dominic Vincelli and rookie dragster pilot Ed Lapointe would rise too the occasion and face each other in the final of the richest bracket race in Canada. And when it was over Ed Lapointe was the winner and to say the locals where ecstatic would be putting it lightly as the winners circle pictures show, the family was pretty big.
Semi Pro would also see two locals do battle as Jim Hewitt would meet and defeat Rob Graveline in the finals as Graveline would have trouble with the engine in the Opel. Julien Laporte would prove that Saturdays win was no fluke as he would back that up with a win light run over Ashley Ogilvie in the Jr, Dragster Finals.
So yes its over, but i think the talk will go on until the 36th Annual Bracket Bonanza rolls around in 2017, plans are already underway to make it bigger, richer and better for all concerned.

As we once again bid farewell to summer months filled with back-to-back car events, we can now look forward to the fall foliage season and the changing palette of deciduous trees in blazing bloom. It's time to maximize your intake of colour and heighten your senses. And no matter where you are, the way to cover the most ground—and take in the biggest eyeful of colour—is from behind the wheel. To give you ideas while you map out your driving route, here are some of our favourite fall colour drives.
Highway 4/Pacific Rim Highway: Beginning outside of British Columbia's mainland, a two-hour 150-kilometer drive across Vancouver Island from Parksville heading towards the west Pacific Coast and ending at the remote and scenic city of Tofino will make your eyes widen as you wind through ancient forests, mountain ranges and in-between lakes. Tofino, a gem of a city with small-town charm will engulf you in a grand surrounding landscape. If you so desire, stay a while to whale watch, fish, hike or kayak — then savour the peaceful ride home.
Trans-Canada Highway: This cruise begins in Revelstoke, British Columbia, which has a very quaint Main Street shopping district, and takes you through national parks, the Canadian Rockies, the Selkirk Mountain Range and Glacier National Park, with the final stop being Banff National Park in Lake Louise, Alberta. Along the lower elevations and waterways you will see Alpine fir, Englemann spruce, white spruce, black cottonwood and western white birch. Higher elevations are home to Douglas fir, lodgepole pine and Trembling aspen. Breathtaking views of valleys, lakes, glaciers and mountains throughout the 220-kilometer trip leave little else to be desired.
Highway 60 – Algonquin Park Corridor, Ontario: Highway 60 is most memorable for cutting through one of Canada's finest parks, Algonquin Park, with 7,725 square kilometers of forests, lakes, bogs, cliffs, rivers and beaches. Taking only an hour to complete, this shorter drive has its appeal, and the venture is packed with nonstop beauty. Permits are not required to pass through the park, but if camping tickles your fancy, for a nominal fee you can gain use of their facilities and enjoy a breathtaking night under the stars.
Cabot Trail – Nova Scotia: The lush landscapes along the Atlantic Ocean make Cabot trail an exceptional fall drive. It takes only a few hours to complete the 300-kilometer long trail around the greater part of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island. Taking a day or two will allow time for stops at the many scenic overlooks, visits to the charming towns and walks on the wooded trails along the way. If you are a driver that doesn't like venturing near steep cliff drop-offs, it is recommended that you travel clockwise around the island, as you would then be on the inside lane. For braver souls, driving counter-clockwise will give you the prime views and may have less traffic; fewer people opt for the daredevil route.
St. Lawrence Route – Quebec: Otherwise known as the place where the mountains meet the sea, the St. Lawerence route is a truly astonishing 50-kilometer drive that will take you through mountain-filled scenery and lively towns such as Baie St. Paul, La Malbaie and the picturesque villages of Les Éboulements, Saint-Irénée and Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive. This trip offers the grand option of making it a weekend trip; numerous vacationers take advantage of La Malbaie's golf courses, the casino, and its high-calibre hotels. Once you reach the village of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, a free ferry is available for boarding, and this brings you to the island of L'Isle –aux-Coudres, an island full of peace and tranquility.

Hi there, please check the following line and help me out. http://bama.ua.edu/~dhand001/GAMBIT-2.htm
Re: MESHING THIS GEOMETRY
u can try different meshes available in the mesh option u can stair case, or Tgrid etc.. For map mesh every thing should be uniform i.e uniform square or rectangle.
Re: MESHING THIS GEOMETRY
Perhaps you could try to decompose your volume in sub-volumes.
Re: MESHING THIS GEOMETRY
You can get a mapped mesh on your barrel (surface 3) the following way: split the intersecting edge with vertices, so that you get 4 vertices at equal distances (at 45, 135, 225 and 315 degrees). Now you can make this circle a mapped mesh (if necessary you have to make the 4 vertices an 'END' vertex). Once the small circle is mapped you can also map the barrel of the cilinder.
The problem with this approach is that the 4 corners of the intersecting circle map are pretty skewed, you can use the 'move mesh nodes' option to correct this.
Re: MESHING THIS GEOMETRY
<font face = "courier new">Try the following method (not sure it will work):
(1) Extend the small cylinder a little 'inside' the big one
(2) Splot the small volume using the big volume and retain the 'split tool' i.e the big cylinder.
(3) Now you will be left with 3 volumes
(4) Delete the small extra volume 'inside' the big cylinder and do a "face connect real" operation
(5) This would provide a 'common face' on the two cylinders. Call these V1(big) and V2(small)
(6) Exactly on the 'highest' and 'lowest' points of the face create two rectangular faces.
(7) Split the big cylinder using these 2 faces and delete the two faces
(8) Do a "face connect real" operation. This connects the disjointed faces.
(9) Now you have 4 volumes. Top,middle and bottom of the big cylinder and the small cylinrical protrusion.
(10) Mesh the top and bottom using quad/cooper. Mesh the small cylinder similarly.
(11) for the middle volume try enforcing a map/submap scheme.
In my opinion that is the best that can be done.
