And that was the problem. I craved the unfamiliar. So I ventured beyond San Miguel and found some places worth a detour.
It took more than an hour to travel 32 miles south by bus from San Miguel, so I was disappointed to find an industrial city with a quarter of a million inhabitants.
I walked from the bus station to the city center, where I discovered, to my delight, the works of Celaya architect Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras (1759-1833). Critical of the Mexican Baroque style of his time, Tresguerras became a master of Mexican neoclassicism.
The stately, beautiful Church of Carmen, built in the early 19th century, is considered his masterpiece. He also designed the facade, cupola and altars of the San Francisco Church. But it is his Water Tower that has become Celaya's symbol. The huge silver globe, nicknamed the "Water Ball," is modernistic, yet it harmonizes with the predominately Colonial buildings and churches of the city.
When I went to the city hall to get a map, I was struck by the towering historical figures in murals by celebrated Mexican artist Octavio Ocampo.
Seeing art often gives me an appetite, so I stopped in one of the city's many candy stores to try cajeta, the caramels for which Celaya is known. They are sweet, smooth and sticky, and you can't eat just one.
Apaseo el Alto
A chatty saleswoman in a Celaya shop asked me whether I knew about Apaseo el Alto, 17 miles south of the city. "It's our best-kept secret," she confided.
I usually duck whenever anyone slings that cliché. In this case, the recommendation hit the mark. I hopped on a bus and an hour later got off in Apaseo el Alto, a town where many of the people I met were woodworkers. (There are about 500.)
Its main road is lined with furniture stores, artisan workshops and stores that sell religious and secular art, bookshelves, lamps and toys. It was a Saturday when I visited, and I saw families load beds, dressers, hand-painted tables and chairs into their pickups. One could, conceivably, furnish an entire house here. The quality ranges from rustic (as in "Are you kidding? Who would buy this?") to fine (Read: "I have to have this and five others like it").
One of my favorite places was Cardenas, the workshop of Leonardo Cardenas and his sons. Their specialty is religious art. When I was there, they were working on a 10-foot-tall crucifix for a church in Texas.
Cardenas has been a woodcarver for two dozen years, and his figures are sensitive, detailed and collectible. There are also decorative secular figures, animals and furniture.
The artists use about a dozen woods, and they are happy to tell you their names and specific properties. Prices start at about $20 for a small piece and run into the hundreds of dollars.
Agustín González
A woman in line at an automated teller machine in San Miguel was the impetus for a trip to the village of Agustín González, a short taxi ride from San Miguel. She told me about a group of 19 farmwomen who eke out a living by making and selling rugs.
To get to Agustín González, we drove about 7 1/2 miles on the main road toward Guanajuato City, then an additional 6 1/4 miles past Presa Ignacio Allende lake. After a small sign that said "Precaución Zona Escolar," Agustín González popped into view, across from a yellow school with turquoise doors. Beyond an iron gate, a dozen or so clucking chickens led me into the yard of Bonni Tovar.
Before and after working in their fields, the village women sit at their kitchen tables or sometimes outdoors, creating folk-style tapestries from recycled woolen clothing that has been cut into long strips. Their subject matter comes from what they see around them: mountains, cactuses, burros, flowers, rabbits, chickens and fish. Each rug is different, according to the artist's inspiration and the recycled wool at her disposal. Prices range from $45 to $100.
By taxi, Atotonilco is about half an hour away from San Miguel. I went there to see the mid-18th century Sanctuary of Atotonilco, which is sometimes called the Sistine Chapel of Mexico because of its murals by Miguel Antonio Martínez de Pocasangre, was built between 1742 and 1746.
Every inch of the walls and ceiling is covered with folk renditions of the life of Christ. There are angels, saints, fruit, and flowers as well as grisly scenes of demonic figures writhing, bleeding and dying. The Chapel of the Holy Rosary has a carved, gold-covered wooden altar and paintings on Venetian mirrors.
The church also houses sculptures, and one of the most renowned is the Lord of the Column, depicting Jesus leaning on a column, all bloodied and bruised. Miracles have been attributed to the statue, including the lifting of an epidemic in San Miguel 175 years ago.
Nearby Atotonilco is the secluded Soledad Benedictine monastery, about 10 minutes away by taxi. The monastery, set in the beautiful desert landscape, is peaceful and offers the possibility for solitude.
Their Masses, held in a sparse, new chapel with whitewashed walls, a stone arch, wooden choir stalls and stained-glass windows that cast a cloak of colors over the choir area, include Gregorian chants.
Visitors can stay up to one week for about $25 a day. The price includes a room and three meals, which are taken in silence with the resident monks.
The gift shop has wood sculptures carved by the monks and by a local artist Juan Guerrero. There are animals, crosses, salad bowls and saints, with prices from $25 to $100.
It took a bus an hour and 20 minutes to travel the 42 miles from San Miguel, and after arriving in Querétaro I headed straight for the regional museum.
Highlights include prehistoric finds (from as early as 7000 BC) and a room that reconstructs the life of the Chichimeca Indians before European contact.
An important display is the ornately carved table where the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. Under the treaty, Mexico ceded the U.S. large chunks of the Southwest for $15 million.
Nearby, inside the Governor's Palace, is the Casa de la Corregidora, the home of a heroine of the Mexican War for Independence, Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez. She alerted fellow conspirators of danger — depending on which story you believe — through a keyhole, by whispering through the walls or tapping on the floor. The result was that word reached Father Miguel Hidalgo, architect of Mexico's independence, and led to his uttering the famous grito, or call to arms.
Then take a 10-minute walk to the graceful former Convent of Santa Cruz. Its long corridors lead to a little garden bearing the "tree of the crosses." In 1697, Father Antonio Margil de Jesus placed a walking stick in the ground and, according to legend, a tree with three little thorns and a cross sprouted from it. The thorns look like the nails of the Crucifixion. The site has been a Franciscan seminary since 1645 and is home to 36 friars.
A historical highlight of the building is the room where Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph, emperor of Mexico, was imprisoned for three days in 1867 before he was executed.
Querétaro's spookiest building is the Museo Casa de la Zacatecana, where a wealthy couple from Zacatecas came to live in 1869. The wife had her husband killed, then killed the murderer so he wouldn't talk. Their bones, buried under the main floor of the house, are visible under glass. The wife was later murdered too, the story goes. Today, the house is a glorious museum, bedecked with 18th century art.
Dolores Hidalgo
Locals call the town Dolores, and many drive 27 miles northwest of San Miguel to browse its rows of ceramic shops. A friend told me Amora was among the best of them. Its shelves and floor are piled with raucously colored Mexican Talavera ware — pots, containers, urns, platters. Artisans work at the rear of the shop, each sitting in a white plastic chair, paintbrush in hand.
Off the main square in the town center is the Church of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, where Father Hidalgo uttered the call to arms.
From there it's a two-minute walk to the Museum of National Independence, with its life-size statues of the padre, and murals that depict the tragic, violent conquest of Mexico by the Spanish.
The nearby Casa de Hidalgo museum is a pilgrimage site for Mexicans, because their hero lived there. It contains many of Hidalgo's possessions — fragments of the pottery he taught natives to make, silkworms he tried to cultivate, a slingshot, spurs, original keys to the city, his bed.
I snacked at the Jardín, where vendors sell corn, tequila, cheese, beer, alfalfa and mole-flavored ice cream. Muy bueno. And I did the local thing and had carnitas at Vicente's, a mound of pork served with guacamole, salsa, beans and gorditas.
About 15 minutes away from San Miguel is the home of artist Rogelio Soltera. He worked for the Mexican phone company for 30 years, and in his free time made sculptures from colored phone wires. His peacocks, birds, frogs, spiders and elephants are masterfully crafted. Prices: $5 to about $50.
The cradle of Mexican freedom
From LAX, Continental flies nonstop to Querétaro, the nearest airport and 42 miles from San Miguel de Allende. Connecting flights (change of plane) are offered on Aeroméxico, United and Aero California. Restricted round-trip fares begin at $290.
Taxis cost about $15 an hour, but it's better to negotiate in advance an all-inclusive price for each trip. The driver picks you up, drives you, waits for you and drives you back. The price depends on your bargaining skills.
Buses are comfortable, inexpensive and run frequently. They leave from the central station in San Miguel. Always try to get a direct bus, if possible. It will shave hours off your trips. One-way prices for most trips run $1.50 to $4.
Rental cars are available, but it's better to take a cab or a bus.

Highlights of the Mexican Grand Prix
Posted on 29 October 2018
By Kate Walker
Lewis secures fifth world title
Sunday afternoon in Mexico saw Lewis Hamilton crowned Formula One World Champion for the fifth time, equalising the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio's record. Before the weekend, Hamilton said he hoped to take the title with a race win, but it was not to be. The Red Bulls had the pace advantage all weekend, and locked out the front row. Hamilton got a good start from the second row, but by the first corner Max Verstappen was in the lead and the Mercedes driver was left managing his ailing tyres the best he could, eventually crossing the finish line in fourth place – enough to claim his fifth drivers' title with two races remaining on the calendar.
Ricciardo goes from hero to zero
On Saturday night, Daniel Ricciardo was the hero of Red Bull. On pole for the first time since Monaco, the Australian racer looked set to dominate the Mexican Grand Prix – as long as he could keep his teammate behind him. But Ricciardo was overtaken off the start by both Hamilton and Verstappen, and was racing in dirty air from the outset. Having followed Hamilton into the pits for an early stop, by lap 25 the Australian was complaining of tyre trouble. Within ten laps, he had been passed by Sebastian Vettel. By lap 49 Ricciardo had worked his way back up to second, ahead of Vettel, and the former teammates spent several laps racing closely before disaster struck on lap 62 and the Australian's engine failed.
"Check my engine! If you need to turn it down, turn it down!", said Verstappen on the Red Bull team radio, after teammate Ricciardo's retirement.
Mexican GP a tyre-eating F1esta
The championship decider was a race affected by heavy degradation and blistering of tyres, with both Red Bull and Mercedes seeing their drivers suffer as their rubber let them down. With a two-stop strategy – the predicted fastest option – the pit stop window opened around lap 5. Hamilton and Bottas both boxed on lap 11, followed by Ricciardo on lap 12. But within a dozen laps both Hamilton and Ricciardo were complaining of blistering and heavy wear. On lap 47 Hamilton entered the pits for his second stop, but a switch to ultrasofts made little difference to the Briton's pace and within five laps he was complaining about performance on the new rubber. Vettel matched Hamilton's two-stop strategy, but with much better wear rates, while Raikkonen – who finished in third – managed a one-stop strategy to the flag.

If there is one thing I know I will never get rid of it is my denim jacket. This thing has been with me for about four years now and I honestly treasure it. This is most likely my most worn clothing item in my closet and it definitely adds to my collection of jackets. I am absolutely obsessed with jackets and have no idea why. I honestly just feel like they make any outfit look cooler. That could be my obsession talking but oh well we all have that one thing in our closet we automatically go to when we need to throw an outfit together.

St Michael's hospice is getting set to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of the devastating fire in July and has announced a forthcoming Capital Appeal.
Most of the hospice building has remained closed since the blaze, which claimed the lives of two people, ripped through the building in the early hours of Saturday, July 11.
Despite the tragic events of the summer, Irene Dibben, chairman of St Michael's Hospice, says they are looking to the future.
"As we enter week ten after the truly devastating fire and all the sadness and disruption, things are starting to calm down and we are able to get into a more normal routine," she said.
"All our in-patients are now located in one building (Hastings Court, on The Ridge) and we are able to continue providing specialist palliative care and support to those throughout Hastings and Rother with life-limiting illnesses.
"We have been extremely grateful for everyone's help and support. We literally had to pick the hospice up and put it somewhere else, it just proves it is more than just a building, it is the staff, volunteers and patients that make it so special.
"The local community has been absolutely amazing and we have been completely overwhelmed with all the fundraising events that people have organised and for all the offers of help."
Irene says she is delighted to announce that St Michael's board of trustees has approved the spend to redevelop the hospice building. The redevelopment will include relocating in-patients over two floors rather than the previous three, all rooms will be private with their own en-suite bathroom, which will maximise patient space and enable easier access.
"The redevelopment costs will be covered in part by our own reserves and reimbursement from our insurance company as well as additional fundraising. The plans have been agreed by the hospice board of trustees and will be available for public viewing soon," she said.
She added: "Lots of people have been asking how they can help and we will be coming to the public within the next few months with plans of our forthcoming Capital Appeal."
The Observer series is delighted to announce that it will be the official partner supporting the appeal which will give the local community the opportunity to get involved and support their hospice.
"We hope to announce the building plans and the Capital Appeal to the public early in the new year. Any funding for this project will be in addition to our normal fundraising, which equates to just over £10k per day or £3.7m per year," said Irene.

For my recent birthday, Abigail gave me this beautiful McAdoo Rug design for needlepunching. Melts my heart – she's our Merimbula mermaid for sure, reminding me of the lovely mornings Julian and I snorkel down at Bar Beach, collecting mussels for our breakfast as the morning sun splashes like champagne across the water.
Now, surprisingly enough for someone who does as much patchwork as me, I'm not the best at measuring. Trying to work out what dimensions my frame should be left me in a tizz – I just cannot visualise what's needed! So Julian took over – thank goodness – because he understood all that I did not and quickly worked up a simple design for the tensioning frame I would need to needle punch my mermaid rug.
Of course, the fact that he got to use his newly purchased drop saw thingy was an added attraction :-) Something nice and easy to make as he got to know the ins and outs of this fabulous new tool – purchased for our upcoming house building adventure. Window sills! Adirondacks! Kitchen work benches! Courtyards! A deck by the dam! Oh yes, there will be much fun had with this little beauty!
He even had to admit to liking the laser guide which he earlier dismissed as a bit gimmicky.
Within an hour or so, we had the frame screwed securely together – Julian even countersunk the screws – such a lovely finish!
Now Julian doesn't think there's anything special to this – he called it a quick knockup – but given it will only be useful for rugs of this size – anything bigger or smaller will need it's own frame – I think it's bloody awesome! I adore that my man can take $20 worth of materials and quickly knockup a frame just to indulge my whims. Sigh!
Then it was onto the bitey tacking which provides the tension. Oy! When we caught our fingers on those little points, we sure knew about it. Now, Amy Oxford uses tacking with THREE rows which she declares to be the best – but at our local hardware store, two rows was all there was to be had. We'll see how it goes.
Julian even knew to position the tacking with the tacks facing out – so as to provide maximum tensioning. I'd have never thought of that – he's so useful.
Time for testing! Just as Amy Oxford says, all those little tacks don't tear at the fabric – they just hold it nicely in place. And it's even easy to reposition. Excellent!
The only thing I need to add now is some thick felt over the tacks so as not to shred my arms whilst needle punching. I think I have some in the felt suitcase – hopefully!
Isn't she gorgeous! I'm so looking forward to starting. I have most of the wool I will need – I'm using the lovely Dutch woollen felt from Winterwood Toys – sliced up into 1/4 inch strips with the rotary cutter. Hopefully it will work a treat and look marvellous. I tested some out already and it makes lovely nubbly loops. If not, we'll have lots of felt for applique and doll making :-)
I'm just not sure I'll ever want to stand on her. Hmmmm …. after all the hours that will go into making her – not to mention the funds! – stomping our great big feet on her might be too stressful to bear! Maybe we could become a shoeless house …

Country: United States
Year: 2008

Winery Review: This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate. (The Vintage Cellar)
My Review: This wine had a nose full of alcohol; the smell of the alcohol overpowered all other aromas. I could barely smell the faint hints of blueberry and cherry. The wine tasted like dark berries with a slight taste of toasted wood. There were a few hints of chocolate as well. This wine was somewhat acidic, but it was unbalanced.
I tasted this wine on its own and without food.

Our Coconut Cream Pie recipe has always been very popular in our family for 30 years and more recently with many of our regular readers who have tried it and loved it too. I've always wanted to try using that creamy, fabulous filling in a homemade sponge cake to make a tempting dessert cake. With a covering of vanilla whipped cream and the sponge soaked in a little coconut rum, I definitely was not disappointed in the result. This would make an amazing birthday cake for any coconut cream pie lover.
- Sponge Cake
- Sift together and set aside:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- For the meringue base of the batter you will need:
- 6 eggs separated, room temperature
- 1/4 tsp cream of tarter
- 1 cup sugar, separated in 2 half cups
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon flavoring (optional)
- For the coconut cream filling
- Scald in the microwave or on the stove top:
- 3 cups whole milk
- Microwave works best as there is no chance of burning the milk.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan combine
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup unsweetened fine coconut
- Over medium low flame slowly add 1 cup of the scalded milk, whisking constantly. As you notice the filling beginning to thicken, add another cup of the scalded milk continuing to stir constantly until it begins to thicken again. Add the final cup of scalded milk, stirring constantly. Continue to cook over medium low heat until mixture begins to slightly thicken. At this point remove from heat and pour about a half cup of this mixture onto
- 3 slightly beaten extra large egg yolks
- whisking constantly. Pour the egg mixture immediately back into the pot, continuing t
- Beat egg whites and cream of tarter until foamy. Add ½ cup sugar gradually until egg whites are stiff. Beat egg yolks and ½ cup sugar until foamy and thickened. Fold beaten egg yolks into the beaten egg whites along with the vanilla (and lemon) for only a few turns before slowly and gradually folding in the flour and baking powder mixture very gently BY HAND using a rubber spatula until just incorporated into the meringue mixture. I mix in the dry ingredients in 3 equal portions. Do not over mix, you just want the flour to be incorporated; over mixing will deflate the egg whites and result in a tough textured final product. Pour into greased and parchment paper lined 9 inch round cake pans and bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until center springs back when touched. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Are social networking sites inherently more vulnerable to security risks, malware and malicious attacks? Social media is all about, well, being social, and because most interactions occur within a network of confirmed "friends," users often let their guard down when using these sites. When you factor in the vast amount of personally identifiable information (PII) housed on these channels, social networks are a prime target for cyber criminals.
Understanding what types of attacks are most common on different social media platforms, and why, can help users identify and defend against malware lurking on them. With this in mind, GFI Software analyzed the most common threats on five popular social networking sites to better understand what makes them such easy targets.

The First North Carolina Volunteers. 233
Back river on our front and encircling our right flank. On our left was a dense and almost impassable wood, except about one hundred and fifty yards of old field. The breadth of the road, a thick wood, and narrow cultivated field covered our rear. The nature of the ground determined me to make an inclosed work, and I had the invaluable aid of Lieutenant-Colonel Lee, of my regiment, in its plan and construction. Our position had the inherent defect of being commanded by an immense field immediately in front of it, upon which the masses of the enemy might be readily deployed. Pre- suming that an attempt would be made to carry the bridge across the stream, a battery was made for its special protection, and Major Randolph placed his guns so as to sweep all the approaches to it. The occupation of two commanding eminences beyond the creek and on our right would have greatly strengthened our position, but our force was too weak to admit of the occupation of more than one of them. A battery was laid out on it for one of Randolph's howitz- ers. We had only twenty-five spades, six axes and three picks; but these were busily plied all day and night of the yth and all day on the 8th. On the afternoon of the 8th I learned that a marauding party of the enemy was within a few miles of us. I called for a party of thirty-four men to drive them back. Lieutenant Roberts, of Company F, of my regiment, promptly responded, and in five minutes his command was en route. I detached Major Randolph, with one howitzer, to join them. Lieutenant-Colonel Lee, First regiment North Carolina volunteers, requested and was granted per- mission to take command of the whole. After a march of five miles they came across the marauders, busy over the spoils of a plundered house. A shell soon put the plunderers to flight, and they were chased over New Market bridge, where our little force was halted, in consequence of the presence of a considerable body situated on the other side. Lieutenant- Colonel Lee brought in one prisoner. How many of the enemy were killed and wounded is not known. None of our command was hurt. Soon after Lieutenant-Colonel Lee left, a citizen came dashing in with the information that seventy- five marauders were on the Back River road. I called for Captain McDowell's company (E) of the First regiment of North Carolina volunteers, and in three minutes it was in hot pursuit. Lieutenant West, of the Howitzer battalion, with one piece, was detached to join them, and Major Lane, of my regiment, volunteered to assume command of the whole. After a weary march they encountered, dis- persed and chased the wretches over the New Market bridge this

Nevertheless the story's depiction of the witches is not free from representation in popular TV series. The witches control the weather, ignite flames, get inside your mind, and can destroy. I believe that the entertainment industry of course needs spectacular scenes, breath taking adventures, extraordinary characters. This could be the reason why the witches are presented in a such an "out of this world" way.
What I like about Blake's writing is that she has that witty irony through out the narrative. You can go by the extracted lines I gave in the very beginning of this post - messing up Beltane cookies? Oh my, that could be a catastrophe! But the author makes it feel like an ordinary thing (like burning an oatmeal cake), because it is such for her characters, and there is no exaggeration of the life of a modern witch.
"Anna Dressed in Blood" contains not only witches but also warlocks, one of them is a Cas's schoolmate, another - this schoolmate's granddad, who actually passed on the witchcraft skills to his grandson. So these two and Cas's mother make a magical team who fights with a powerful soul of an obeahman. There was also a good educational moment for me personally as I never knew who that was and had to read about it in the net. For me this novel was a novelty, a fresh insight into the modern witchcraft and a nice free from judgement depiction of what witches do or what they don't.

Soviet officials have pledged to the Bush Administration to continue coordinating efforts to resolve the Persian Gulf crisis and several civil wars, from El Salvador to Cambodia, in keeping with policies promoted by the departing Foreign Minister, Eduard A. Shevardnadze.
"They are conveying continuity and we are reasonably optimistic," said a State Department official.
American officials said meetings held by President Bush and Robert M. Kimmitt, the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, with Ambassador Aleksandr A. Bessmertnykh this week, along with lower-level exchanges in Moscow, convinced the Administration that President Mikhail S. Gorbachev remains fully in charge of Soviet foreign policy, at least for the time being. Doubts had arisen because of his severe domestic problems, including economic shortages and challenges from rebellious republics. Reassurances for Washington
Officials refused to comment on the contents of a New Year's note Mr. Gorbachev sent to President Bush, but they said its friendly tenor signaled Moscow's desire to improve relations further at the summit meeting scheduled in Moscow in February.
They said the Soviets continue to express a willingness to complete work at the summit on a new treaty limiting strategic nuclear arms. That initiative was pressed by Mr. Shevardnadze before his surprise resignation last week and apparently was resisted by some conservatives in the Kremlin.
A senior Administration official said Mr. Gorbachev may have given himself more latitude in foreign affairs "at least in the short term" by appearing more open to the concerns of conservatives on domestic and security matters. Speaking of traditional elements in the Communist Party, the military and K.G.B., he said, "The focus of their pressure is much more on internal policy than on external policy." Recurring Theme: ContinuityContinue reading the main story
He said that most Soviet conservatives who want to limit democratic changes at home tend to believe that Mr. Gorbachev has coordinated his foreign policy too closely to Washington's and "given away the empire," but they have not come up with a unified proposal on how to redirect foreign policy.
Mr. Bessmertnykh requested the 30-minute meeting he held with Mr. Bush on Thursday to reassure the Administration that no policy swings were anticipated in the Kremlin. American officials said the Soviet Ambassador held a more detailed 45-minute session with Mr. Kimmitt on Monday, in which he made a series of commitments that cheered the Administration.
A State Department official said Mr. Kimmitt emphasized the need for Moscow to continue promoting its "united front" with Washington with the approach of the Jan. 15 deadline for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait or face eviction by force under a United Nations Security Council resolution. "Mr. Bessmertnykh agreed to that," the official said.
The official said "the recurring theme" of the Kimmitt-Bessmertnykh meeting was: "They want to continue working with us and we want to continue working with them." Kremlin's Central America Role
The two diplomats devoted the most time to the month-old guerrilla offensive in El Salvador, with Mr. Kimmitt suggesting that Moscow use its influence to stop Cuba and Nicaragua's Sandinista Army from sending arms, particularly antiaircraft missiles, to rebels of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front.
Mr. Bessmertnykh reiterated Moscow's traditional line that its influence over Cuban and Nicaraguan arms transfers is limited. But he pledged that Moscow would do what it could to restart the stalled United Nations-sponsored peace talks between the Salvadoran rebels and the Government of President Alfredo Cristiani.
Administration officials said they valued the Soviet Union's involvement in Central America now that it no longer actively supports revolutionary movements. They said Moscow had helped prove that SA-14 antiaircraft missiles deployed not long ago by the Salvadoran guerrillas came from Nicaragua by identifying the serial number on an SA-14 missile casing found near a downed aircraft as that of a missile the Soviets had donated to the Nicaraguan Army in 1985.
The Administration hopes such evidence will strengthen the hand of the Nicaraguan President, Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, as she tries to control the Sandinista-dominated military. Talks on Afghan War
Touching briefly on a series of other regional conflicts, Mr. Bessmertnykh promised Mr. Kimmitt that Moscow intended to continue nudging the pro-Soviet Government in Cambodia to compromise on forming an interim Government with a guerrilla coalition, in advance of United Nations-sponsored elections.
He also pledged that Moscow would continue discussions with Washington to settle the civil war in Afghanistan, in which rebels armed by the United States are fighting a regime supported by the Soviet Union. Those efforts have stalled in recent months over several issues, including the timing of future elections, the details of a proposed cutoff of Soviet and United States arms shipments and the future political role of President Najibullah.
Soviet-American relations in the post-Shevardnadze age will face their first test in early January, when peace talks to resolve the civil war in Angola between pro-American guerrillas and a pro-Soviet Government are to resume in a potentially decisive session in Portugal. Complications Ahead?
An American official said Mr. Bessmertnykh and Mr. Kimmitt expressed their Governments' willingness "to keep up the heat on both sides."
Leonid Sofanov, an aide to Mr. Bessmertnykh, said "we completely agree with our American colleagues that we can work together" on helping the two sides in Angola find a fair solution.
But Administration officials cautioned that complications in United States-Soviet relations could lie ahead. One warned that the appointment of one of the Soviet Government's Arabists as Foreign Minister could soften Moscow's apparent support for the use of force to drive Iraq out of Kuwait.Continue reading the main story

Here & Now More Communities Look To Recycling Toilet Water
3:33 / 8:12 Download this story
As California deals with a historic drought, more communities are looking to recycling sewage and storm runoff as a way to deal with the water crisis.
At the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility in El Segundo, California, Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson speaks with Ron Wildermuth, manager of public and government affairs for the West Basin Municipal Water District.
Wildermuth says the facility prevents 45 million gallons of sewer water going to the ocean each day, and it produces five different types of water for industrial and commercial uses, including water that ultimately is used for drinking.
Related: From Toilet To Tap: City Officials Say Get Used To Drinking Recycled Water
Guest; Ron Wildermuth, manager of public and government affairs for the West Basin Municipal Water District.
This is HERE AND NOW. I'm Jeremy Hobson. And I'm in El Segundo, California. You can hear we're outside right now. I'm at a water recycling facility. Now as this state has had to deal with a historic drought, many people are looking to water recycling as one possible way to deal with the problem. And I'm here with Ron Wildermuth. He's manager of public information and conservation for the West Basin Municipal Water District. Ron, thanks so much for being here.
RON WILDERMUTH: Hi Jeremy, it's a pleasure to be here.
HOBSON: Well, so tell me first of all what happens at this plant.
WILDERMUTH: Oh, we make five types of usable water out of sewer water.
HOBSON: Sewer water.
WILDERMUTH: Right, from your toilets. And we're the only facility in the world that does that.
HOBSON: We've talked about toilet to tap on the show, but that's exactly what it is.
WILDERMUTH: Well, it's toilet to environmental buffer to tap.
HOBSON: OK. That's a nice way of putting it. And is anybody drinking it?
WILDERMUTH: Oh yeah. People in Southern California have been drinking recycled water for decades. You talked about the current drought. Well, this plant was conceived and started to be built after the last drought in late '80s, early '90s.
HOBSON: Well, tell us what we're looking at here because as I look in front of me I see a big thing that looks like a flying saucer, maybe.
WILDERMUTH: Right. OK, what you're seeing is basically that's how we make irrigation water. And then as you look over here, you see some more sophisticated equipment. And basically those are to house tiny straws. And when we make our really pure water, the first step is putting it through the sides of plastic straws. Those plastic straws have holes 300 times smaller than a human hair.
HOBSON: So that you're essentially getting everything but the water out of what you're putting into it.
WILDERMUTH: Right, we're taking with the magic straws, we're taking out particles, bacteria, protozoa and any viruses attached to that. Then the next step, which is putting water through the molecular structure of a sheet of plastic, that's the ultimate.
HOBSON: I have to say as we just crossed the street into this area, the smell is not fantastic.
WILDERMUTH: Hey, that's the smell of freedom. That's the smell of future water.
WILDERMUTH: You know, we have about a million gallons of sewer water or wastewater that goes to the ocean every day. We need to clean that and use it, and we'll be doing that in the future.
HOBSON: We're walking through an area here that is huge pipes all connecting to each other, different colors, and this is all filtration, right Ron?
WILDERMUTH: Yes, it is, in fact I'm holding up right now one of our micro-filter membranes. There's 2,000 straws in this membrane. And the full-size membrane you'll see over here is four foot long, and we basically put those in basins vertically and then put a little vacuum on the top of the straws.
It works just like your Big Gulp, OK. When you take the soda out of the Big Gulp, the ice stays in the cup because it's too big to go through the straw.
HOBSON: When you say straws, they look like the bristles on a toothbrush.
WILDERMUTH: They're straws. If you had a magnifying glass...
HOBSON: They have holes in the middle of them?
WILDERMUTH: Absolutely, absolutely. It's pumping water up to the microfiltration basins.
HOBSON: Yeah, it's - you know, we're so close to Los Angeles International Airport, people hearing this may think that a 747 is flying overhead, but no, that is the sound of the machinery right here.
WILDERMUTH: Basically the movement of water, pumping it through these big pipes, these massive pipes. We do 45 million gallons a day. That's enough for 60,000 families.
HOBSON: Wow.
WILDERMUTH: That's a big chunk of water. In fact we just finished producing 150 billion gallons.
HOBSON: Right here at this plant?
WILDERMUTH: Right at this plant since 1995. That's enough water, if you put it in one-gallon jugs, to go around the equator 10,000 times.
HOBSON: What about the expense of all of this?
WILDERMUTH: It's not cheap, but depending on different types of water, we provide irrigation water for 20 percent less than imported water, OK. And then some of our more sophisticated waters that we give to the refineries, they pay more for that.
HOBSON: Do you ever see a day when there's going to be bottled recycled water?
WILDERMUTH: Absolutely. In fact I think that's one of the tools we need to educate the public and to move from that indirect potable to direct potable, where we can make the treatment process more robust and then have some capability to test it before we release it. And then someday instead of putting it in a reservoir or a groundwater basin we'll put it directly into the pipes.
HOBSON: Now what are these?
WILDERMUTH: These are reverse osmosis vessels. Inside every one of those vessels are seven reverse-osmosis membranes, which are basically sheets of plastic, and the water's traveling horizontally under pressure in those tubes. And as soon as the water is pressurized to go through the sheet of plastic, it spins to the center like a jellyroll. And that water is pure.
Now if the water doesn't make it to the center on the first run-through, we send it to a second run-through. If it doesn't make it to the center on the second run-through, we use a third. And that way we get 85 percent of the water we started with.
This is kind of our last treatment process. It's our safety barrier. It's where we run the water through ultraviolet light with hydrogen peroxide. And we have to do that because there's a chemical in all wastewater called NDMA or nitrosodimethylamine. And it comes from lunch meat and beer and wine and milk.
HOBSON: Just being in the wastewater?
WILDERMUTH: Yeah, and because it's in the wastewater and a suspected carcinogen, we take it out. So that's - the water you're going to taste today, totally free of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers.
HOBSON: Lunch meats, beer and wine.
WILDERMUTH: That's right. Let's go drink the water. Now let me drink it first to show you how I love this water. And I am serious when I say this is the best tasting water I can get my hands on. And after talking to you for a while, I need this water.
WILDERMUTH: Now you taste it.
HOBSON: OK, let me try it. Tastes like normal water.
WILDERMUTH: Tastes like water. I knew that's what you were going to say. Actually this water has been - we've added minerals to it. We've added a little chlorine to it. So we call it stabilized water. If you took water directly out of reverse osmosis or the ultraviolet light, you couldn't taste it. It would have no taste because all the minerals are gone.
HOBSON: And whenever anybody asks where did this water come from, you just say don't ask or what?
WILDERMUTH: No, we say it came from sewer water 30 minutes ago.
HOBSON: Thirty minutes ago.
WILDERMUTH: That's correct. That's how fast the process works. But it's such a good process.
HOBSON: Well Ron Wildermuth, manager of public information and conservation for the West Basin Municipal Water District, thanks so much for the tour.
WILDERMUTH: Thank you, Jeremy, and the tap's always open for you.

Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) today announced the launch of its new mobile application, making it one of the few research funding agencies globally to employ such technology.
The user-friendly 'app' operates on the latest iOS-enabled devices, and is available in both Arabic and English to iPhone and iPad users free of charge.
"It is in QNRF's DNA to promote an advancement of knowledge. Launching our own mobile application was the logical next step for us," said QNRF's Executive Director, Dr Abdul Sattar Al-Taie, at an exclusive internal launch of the software. He added, "The mobile application is a step to further expand our communication channels with applicants and research offices. It also provides a convenience factor, as our database can now be accessed globally through a mobile device."
QNRF's mobile application has a dedicated feature for applicants, awardees and peer reviewers, allowing individuals to log on to the organisation's database and check the status of their research proposal or project. The app also enables QNRF to send users proactive, system-driven 'push' notifications on proposal or project updates and Program deadlines.
At the launch event, attended by QNRF's senior management group and figures from a number of collaborative research institutions in Qatar, QNRF's Head of IT, Haytham Ali, provided a demonstration on the app's uses, and announced plans to expand its availability. "The application's availability on Apple devices is only the first phase of our long term plan," he said. "In phase two, we will be launching the application for Android and Windows 8 users."
Ali went on to highlight additional features of the interactive application, including a newsroom section, an events calendar, a multimedia gallery and selected publications from QNRF-funded projects. For applicants, a correspondence section will help facilitate research collaboration and contribution requests. Once awarded, researchers will be able to review their progress reports and correspondence from QNRF on technical aspects of the project. A 'Research Outcome Center' will list all publications associated with each research project, for ease of access.
Congratulating QNRF on its latest technological development, Dr Mark Weichold, Dean and CEO of Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMU-Q), said, "I wish the best for […] my friends at QNRF as you become one of the few research organisations anywhere to enter into the world of mobile computing."
TAMU-Q is collaborating on more than 120 awarded research projects under QNRF's National Priorities Research Program, Junior Scientists Research Experience Program and Undergraduate Research Experience Program.
QNRF is the national funding agency facilitating original, competitively-selected research projects that address the national priority needs of Qatar. It is a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. To learn more about QNRF-funded research projects or to participate in one of QNRF's Programs visit: http://www.qnrf.org/ or download it's mobile application at your App Store.

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
A password not working could mean so many things. We look at passwords for the computer, for administrator access, and even for email accounts.
My laptop - it keeps asking me for the password. I put it in and click it and it comes back, wanting the password all the time. It's an HP running Vista. When it does this, it was not on the Ethernet. I hope you can help.
In this excerpt from Answercast #36, I look at a variety of passwords that may have been lost and the most common problem in this area: typing it in wrong!
So you haven't said which password it's asking for.
Windows does not believe that you are typing in the correct password and it is simply asking you for the correct password. It's giving you another opportunity.
You are not connected to the "Ethernet" (you are not connected to the internet); there is no way for the website or the application or the "whatever" to validate your password because it can't connect to its service or server.
By far, the single most common cause for repeatedly being asked for your password is that you're typing in the wrong password.
Check the Caps Lock key, of course.
Make sure that you are, in fact, typing exactly the correct password.
If you believe that you are typing in the right password and the system keeps asking you for a password, you are wrong: you are not typing in the right password!
Now, you may have been hacked.
In other words, if this happens with an online situation, you're trying to type in your email password to gain access to your email account and it keeps telling that your password is wrong.
Somebody has more than likely hacked your account and changed your password. So, what you believe is the right password is no longer the right password. That happens a lot.
It is not a failure of the system.
Somebody changed your password.
The password that you are typing in is not the correct, current password.
There are lots of different approaches to that, if your email account has been hacked.
In your particular situation, because you're running offline and because I don't really know which password it is you're referring to, I'll assume it's the Windows password and that you are not typing in the correct password.
There are approaches to resetting your password.
I'll point you at one article called, "I've lost my administrator password. How do I get it back?"
That article actually will show you how to:
Boot from a different disc, a different CD.
That will allow you to reset the administrator password on your machine.
Having done so, you can then login as administrator.
And set the password for your login account to whatever you think it should be.
At that point, typing in the correct password should then work.
Next from Answercast 36 – Does Windows 7's uninstall have a problem? I can't uninstall AVG.
Article C5600 - July 18, 2012 « »
How long have you had that keyboard? Spilled anything on it lately?
In addition to caps lock, some-times aging keyboards will get 'dead' keys, or keys that need to be pounded to register. Two possible tools to help:
my password not working refers to my tbird email account! how do i reset my tbird email password?????
Sometimes Windows will reject the password because you are trying to log on to the wrong system. For example, if you normally log onto the server, but now by accident in the login box or page you are trying to log into "this computer", the workstation itself, not the server, the login won't work. Check to make sure what you are logging into, or even if you are accidentally trying to log into someone else's account.
Check the Numlock key that converts part of the keyboard into a numerical keypad. This has fooled many a client of mine. :)
Could this person be referring to Vista's UAC prompt? I know for the short time I used (tried out) Vista, it got maddening - it seemed like I couldn't move my mouse without a UAC prompt popping up! (Windows 7 has a MUCH better paradigm here).
i have been trying for 3 days to go on facebook...it says my password is incorrect...it try to change to a new password..and it still say the same...incorrect passwork....help....

What's that? Hobby Craft are having 3 for 2 on craft materials you say? Oh well in that case it would be rude not to!
That washi tape love was thoroughly indulged with some new tapes today. I was so spoilt for choice it was difficult just to limit myself to the tapes I selected,
These were too pretty to miss out on. The floral ones remind me of Cath Kidston and the black and white ones were irresistable. I love the butterflies!
Mr S's birthday is the day after valentines so I thought these would be perfect for combining the two themes in my planner. That and they're uber pink which is also always a bonus.
Of course I couldn't get tape and not pick up some festive ones. I love these as they're wintery so can be used right through December rather than just Christmas week, not that I'm thinking that far ahead or anything...
All these tapes have got me super excited for getting my planner now, not sure how I'm going to last the time left until I get it. I noticed I need to start shopping around for a punch too, that's top of my to-do list for tomorrow I guess.

Let's talk about this Danish babe that has been taking up far too much picture space on my desktop. I'm currently (girl) crushing on the stunning EMMA LETH. Model, DJ, and Blogger, this hazel-eyed girl has an air about her that says 'yeah, I model. My hair is currently styled by my bed and I'm wearing my boyfriend's white T' which I adore. Boy-ish style yet feminine features, I could see her doing some fabulous editorials. I've enjoyed researching her work and can't wait to see what's in Emma's future.
Check out more of here modeling pics HERE as well as her chic BLOG. Even though it's all in Danish, the pics are worth it. I'm also obsessing over her INSTAGRAM feed. Gah, Emma, you're phenomenal!

My wife is 32 years old, brunette, good figure and not afraid to show off her attributes. But earlier this year she got more than she bargained for when she tried to tell her brother what she thought of him.
We live in a local community that most of my wife's family also live within, so we see them on a regular basis and everyone is going in and out of everyone else's house at all times of the day and night. However, my wife's eldest brother, John, has a tendency to get drunk with his friends and drop in when he's not wanted, mostly late at night.
One such occasion was in the Summer when lots of us had been to the local pool and were enjoying the good weather and the company. As usual my wife Helen and her three sisters seemed to be trying to outdo each other in how much flesh they could expose and how many men they could get horny by looking at them! Just as normal, Helen had the skimpiest bikini on and she spent most of the time sitting on men's knees and pushing her tits into their faces.
Anyway, John was there and he said that one of these days someone would make her pay for being so brazen and teasing by teaching her a lesson she wouldn't forget. All she could say was "Well you're certainly not man enough are you big brother?" which made everyone laugh, something she would regret later that day, or at least I thought she would regret it!
When the sun had gone in and everyone had gone home we were sitting in the house when there was a call on the 'phone, it was Helens youngest brother saying his car had broken down and could I help him out. So, I got my van out and told Helen I'd be as quick as I could. As I pulled out of the drive I thought I saw Helens big brother at the end of the road but thought nothing of it. About five minutes later my mobile rang and it was Helens young brother. He said he had been forced to ring earlier and say he had broken down by John. He said John had got even drunker than earlier and he had been bragging that he'd teach that bitch of a sister of his a lesson she'd never forget.
I began to panic and swung round and headed home, not sure what to expect or how I would deal with it. John is a big guy and drunk or not, would not be easy to handle. I decided to park in the next block and walk across the park to get home, so as not to alert John. I climbed over our back fence and looked in the window before getting to the door. I could see Helen, still dressed in her skimpy yellow bikini, sitting on the sofa with John across from her in my chair with a can in his hand and another guy standing next to the chair, a big black guy with a vest on that showed that he had huge muscles.
What should I do, nothing seemed to be wrong, but I didn't know whether to wait before going in. Perhaps John just wanted me out of the way to talk to Helen. A few minutes past then I heard Helen shout "the hell you are!" and John replied with "you've pissed me off one time to many sis and this time I'm going to make sure you keep your mouth shut in future".
I had another look in the window and I could see the big black guy had got hold of Helens arms from behind the sofa and John was sitting astride her. She was struggling but not shouting when I saw John rip her bikini top clean off her and throw it down on the ground. He then pulled the bow loose on one side of her bikini panties and pulled it roughly up from between her legs. She started struggling even harder and she started to scream when he gripped he long hair in his hand and pulled it tight and said "You scream and I'll make it even worse for you" to which she stopped struggling and didn't shout out again.
I knew that I should go in and pull them off her, but deep inside I wished someone would put her in her place anyway and I was getting hard as hell watching these guys strip her in my front room!
What happened next was not hat I expected and at the time I wished that I had gone in and stopped it. The big guy pulled Helens arms high in the air and this raised her ass off the sofa and splayed her legs in front of her. John then slid his fingers of his left hand into his sisters pussy right in front of my eyes. "John…no!!" shouted Helen, but he left his fingers in her pussy and then began rubbing her right tit with his other hand. She seemed to struggle for a while, then stopped and just laid her head to one side. I then realised she was enjoying it! After a while his fingers got faster and faster and she started bucking up and down. John then stood up and she gave out a groan of disappointment, until she saw him unclip his belt and slip down his jeans and his pants right in front of her to display a rock hard and enormous cock.
"Are you gonna calm down and not slate me off in public in future? Or am I gonna humiliate you again like I did when you were young and take you right here in your family home?" he said, holding his cock right in front of her.
"You're no better than me John. All you do is tease and make threats, but you haven't got the balls to do anything more. The last time I was too young to stand up to you, but not this time" she said. I couldn't breath I was so excited. I knew it was wrong, but I was praying that her brother took her right there!
"You stupid bitch, you'll never learn" said John and he put his hands under her butt and lifted her up and onto his manhood, making her scream out, not in pain, but in ecstacy! I felt my own cock start to spurt into my shorts as I watched this incredible sight, my wife completely naked and her brother fucking her on my sofa with a huge black guy, who was at first holding her arms, now letting his big hands fondle and grope her titties.
With her arms loose Helen wrapped them around Johns butt and pulled him in her as far as she could while pushing her head into the chest of the unknown giant fondling her breasts. She then let go of his butt and started trying to rip his t-shirt off, which he then pulled over his head and then he started licking her neck, his beard pressing into her and she began to buck up and down even more, an orgasm bursting out of her body.
What a slut, but what a fantastic sight! It wasn't long before her brother was obviously coming into his little sister, not for the first time by the sound of it. He pulled out and drew his pants and jeans up and fell over onto the chair behind him. Helen looked at him as though she was disappointed that he had stopped and she slid one of her own slender fingers down into her pussy while the other one was sucked into her pouting mouth. John looked into her eyes and then up over the sofa looking at his companion. Her eyes lit up and she slid round her head and looked at the black guy, smiling and pouting. She moved round and lay right along the sofa with her legs splayed wide open and she then pushed her right leg up and over the back of the sofa and into his stomach. The other guy held her toes for a minute and then slid his hand down the inside of her thigh, to which she caught hold of his hand with hers and pulled him round to the front of her. She slid off the sofa and knelt in front of him and undid his belt and unbuttoned his flies to release one big and bold veiny and throbbing cock. Helen held it with both hands and opened her mouth as far as it would go before gorging herself on it, almost gagging with its size. The big guy put his head back and smiled at Helens brother.
By now I had come in my shorts and my cock was on its way up again. I didn't care who they were, she is one hell of a fuck and I just wished I had my video camera with me! It wasn't long before the big guy was prising my wife off his cock and pushing her down onto our soft and plush blue carpet. By now he was naked and he was big all over, not with flab but with muscle and biceps, just the sort Helen likes. She laid back and opened her legs but he got hold of her hips and swung her round, lifting her up onto his knees and skewering her from behind with his enormous cock. The scream she let out brought the neighbours out, I just hope they didn't see me cowering down in the bushes with sticky shorts. Man, he rode her hard and long until he made a grunt like an elephant and must have filled her right up. He got off her and she didn't move for ages. In fact not long after her brother and his friend left by the front door and I went in the back.
I had a shower and got changed then went into the living room and found my wife still oozing cum and sleeping on the floor.

If you were planning to douse your mashed potatoes in delicious Heinz pork gravy this Thursday, think again.
Heinz has just issued a national voluntary recall on the jarred turkey accoutrement, says a USA Today report published this afternoon. Apparently, 500 jars of Homestyle Bistro Au Jus Gravy were mislabeled "Pork Gravy," and are currently being pulled from supermarket shelves across the country.
Sold in 12oz glass jars with a December 28th, 2017 best-by date and a UPC code of 013000798907, the undercover Au Jus contains known allergens milk and soy, while the OG pork gravy does not.
Though nobody has come forward with a complaint about the product yet, Heinz is inviting customers too lazy to make their own damn gravy to return their tarnished foodstuffs to any store for a full refund. But maybe skip the gravy this year and just eat this Thanksgiving dinner donut instead.
Sign up here for our daily Thrillist email, and get your fix of the best in food/drink/fun.

We want the best for our clients, and that means providing the support and resources that allow physicians to prescribe with confidence. If you are new to medical cannabis, check out our Resource Centre, or register with us to access the tools you need to get started.
From terminology to strain types to ingestion options... there is a lot to know about medical cannabis. Here, you'll find the most important information to get you started.
Medical marijuana refers to the dried flowers of the Cannabis plant, used to treat or relieve a specific symptom or condition. The Cannabis plant contains over 80 different cannabinoids along with terpenes and flavonoids.
The following overview of terminology can be helpful for patients that are inexperienced or new to medical cannabis.
When it comes to developing a dosing schedule, marijuana has many variables that do not fit in immediately with the typical pharmaceutical drug model.
There are several routes of delivery available for patients to safely and effectively consume their medical cannabis. The amount of cannabinoids such as THC received by the patient depends on the route of administration taken.
Call 1-844-644-4726 (1-844-OGI-GRAM) and the folks on our client support team like Dan, Janice and Jeff can answer any question you have.

Wheel building here at Downland Cycles is done by our DT Swiss qualified wheel builders. Our Wheel Mechanics can custom build you a wheel to suit your application and needs. Whether you are road racing, track or fixed rider, tandem,
touring, mountain biking or a leisure rider, we can build or repair a wheel for you.There is more to a wheel than how light it is. It is a common question we get asked every time we are asked to build a wheel set. When we are wheel building, how little it weighs is not the first consideration, we can weigh it for you after it is built. What is most important when we are building your wheels for you is that we are building using the correct components for the task you want to use the wheels for. Correct rim type, hub type and spoke type for the individuals weight, riding style and riding discipline. Once we have these key factors then we can start wheel building.Below is a description of the components that we build our wheels with, various hubs, rims and spokes. Give us a ring on 01227 709706 to talk about your wheel building needs or if you know what wheels you want building order from the drop down list below.
|The most popular choice, there is a rim in the range to suit everyone. We can tailor your riding perfectly with a Mavic rim
|Maybe not the most well known rim brand but making some of the finest touring rims you can buy.
|Hubs built for the British weather. Strong hubs, well sealed bearings and importantly, fully serviceable with all spares available. Well worth the price.
|Some say the Rolls Royce of hubs but we think Royce are the Rolls Royce of hubs. Chris King are good though, no doubt about it, legendary sealing and a free hub body noise without comparison
|Royce by name Rolls Royce by nature. Classic quality and as they say themsevles, British Engineering Excellence
|Campag sadly now only make their hubs available in the Record range. Very nice but a shame there is no choice.
|It might sound like rice pudding but hubs and rims are excellent. These are amongst our favourite hubs for road wheel building. Campag and Shimano both available at a very reasonable price,
|A brand that needs no introduction, Shimano make good hubs. XT for touring and Dura Ace for racing, fully serviceable and spares always on hand.

Toyota Motor Corp. denies press reports that it intends to withdraw from China, the world's biggest auto market, according to Chinese media. Tensions had been increasing due to the territorial dispute between China and Japan. But it's somewhat daunting that Toyota is considering leaving the country. There are rumors of political pressure.
It's not clear who the original source is of these so-called reports. According to Japanese media, Toyota is reducing its annual sales target due to declining sales in China. But Toyota hasn't come out to say anything about leaving the market entirely. The Chinese government-backed China Daily fueled speculations by reporting that "Toyota denies withdrawing from China."
The China Daily's report also said that Toyota junked media reports that it will pull out from the Chinese market and close production facilities in the country. Toyota has officially denied the report.
The Chinese government had shot down anti-Japanese protests very effectively so there may be pressure on the local press coverage of the Japanese automakers in the country too. Since the riots are related to the territorial conflict, Toyota's sales in China have fallen significantly.
