For me on the front, I struggled with the extra weight at first, especially on slow corners in town traffic and also having to stop and hold the bike up. However, I soon got used to it, but I could feel the weight and poor Sylvie in restricted 33BHP mode did not enjoy the extra load, which caused the clutch to get a little hot and sticky. However, once on the motorway, we just cruised along and Sylvie was impeccable once again. I love my bike, me!
Our first stop was at the bottom of Holden Hill, in the Shell Garage there. A top up with fuel showed that we had burned a little more than I would have liked, but carrying Mez, panniers and holding motorway speed was bound to do it. Once filled to the brim and everything was packed away again, we started the climb up the hill and onto the A38. Sylvie sprinted up the hill as if it was barely there and once at the top settled into a gentle cruise, the miles rolling easily by under her wheels, all the way to Ivybridge for stop number two.
Why the stop in Ivybridge you may wonder? I was trying to find Julie, my old friend, so we popped in to her cafe and sadly she was off with the flu, so after a quick chat, it was back on the A38 and onwards to Plymouth. Plymouth, what a lovely city...
Visiting Plymouth is a tricky one for me, I have a lot of unhappy memories based there, but have a lot of very dear friends. The little time I had meant that I was not going to be able to see them all, but I was going to find some of the ones I had not seen for a long time, including my very best friends Pauly and Rachel. Along the way I was going to try and see as many of the others as I could, but it would still make me sad due to not being able to see every one.
The road into Plymouth is big and has a fly over, yet despite my knowing this, I could not remember the way to my Mothers! So with a few slightly late lane changes, I was finally on the right road and headed up to my Mums street. She did not know that I had Mez with me, but she did know that I was coming. I sent him down to knock on her door first.
I parked Sylvie up and locked her as safely as I could, it is rough down there you see.
I stayed with Mum for a while and headed over to see Rachel and her partner Jan. Catching up with friends as dear as these two was worth the trip on its own, but all good things must end and I had to get back to Mum's and get me some sleep. The ride back was cool, peaceful and my first night ride on Sylvie. Her lights are amazing, even on standard beam, but on high they are like day light. Back at my Mum's I rode her down the path and locked her up to the fence, fitting three locks to keep her safe over night.
The next morning, I was up early and set about making sure that the clutch was correctly adjusted for the journey home. Once all back in one piece, I got ready for the days visits and set about heading over to see Graham and Kim. Graham and Kim are lovely, slightly unusual and live in an armory! However, first of all I had to get there. This involved taking the bike up the pavement and back on to the road, a simple enough task it would seem, but that was not allowing for the locals. They took offence at my being there, at my having a bike and having parked it in my Mother's garden. They let me know most vocally too. Scrotes!
Graham and Kim were lovely, funny and full of chat. We laughed and joked and almost as soon as I had I arrived the time had flown by and I had to hit the road again, but not before snapping a quick photo.
From there I had to find a dear friend who I had lost touch with a while before. Thankfully with a map and an address it was not so hard to find and I pulled up and parked. Helen was out and I left a note, but by then, I had to head home.
Filtering up to a set of lights, I managed to offend the driver of a large black car who saw fit to lean out of his window and scream at me that I was a biker maniac and... but the words were lost to the wind. What had I done that was so wrong? I had passed him by while making progress. He followed my from the lights, while sticking to my back wheel and scowling in my mirror. I ignored him and eventually turned off. He fumed and sped away. A man with a very small penis I suspect.
I got back into my Mother's street and the very people who had complained about me before were still there and watched me pull up. They were watching me the way a dog watches a cat, they knew they could start, but would they get hurt. They stayed away thankfully.
My Brother was nearly ready and I packed my panniers and loaded the bike. After hugs all round I climbed aboard and then Mez jumped on the back, we pulled away and I turned my back on Plymouth once again. We stopped for fuel and then at last we were back on the A38, heading for home. A road never felt so good as that road leading out of Plymouth, even with my brother on the back making the bike feel heavy. The road was a joy and we finally pulled in at Exeter Racecourse for our first break.
The sights of the day were the usual cage driving fools who should be banned from the road. As we were leaving Plymouth two girls in separate cars both tried to pull out into the very lane I was driving in and I had to swerve to avoid them both. I do not think they eve saw I was there. The scary one though was the Guy who was weaving across the road in front of me, clearly nodding off as he drove. I gave the throttle a good twist and left him far behind, better a danger left behind than a risk in front.
The A38 turned into the M5 and before we knew it I was pulling into Taunton Dean services. My right wrist ached and my left foot throbbed. Sports bikes can be a little uncomfortable when there are a lot of miles to cover. I popped into the shop to see if I could find a support bandage and the Manager very kindly gave me two from her kit. My wrist stopped aching and my foot stopped throbbing, I was nearly home.
We pulled off the motorway and back onto the A38 before turning onto the A370. At Brentknoll I pulled over again to ease the numbness in my arse and Mez let me know that his was in a similar state, which nearly caused us to plough into a hedge. Ten minutes later, Sylvie sat ticking and cooling outside our flat and I was inside and chilled, waiting for the loving embrace of my Darling Carol. My adventure down south an aching memory in my back side.

Google has The Boiling Pot as closed. Note even the last review here was Oct 2013. Yelp also list it as closed. I'd say go somewhere else like the Hula Hut.

Take Out, Cajun: For bayou-style seafood, look no further than Boiling Pot. The restaurant's Cajun Combo selection is a vast quantity of blue crab, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn dumped on the table for all to share. Other options include gumbo, oysters, and etouffee. For dessert, Key lime pie is ideal, but if you're feeling a little more adventurous, try chocolate-covered crawfish heads!
Take a trip to Fiji right here in Suwanee, relax by the beach and have a great meal, complete with gentle island music in the background! Serving American favorites, some with a tropical twist. After, have a soft serve desert to top it off!
Try the Cajun Combo. $15.95 gets you one blue crab shrimp, a half-pound of shrimp, and a half-pound of sausage along with potatoes and corn.
Those on a budget should stick to the a la carte menu that has gumbo, sausage and red beans and rice.

The first step in fighting a speeding ticket is to find the court date listed on the ticket and show up in court on that date, reports Lawyers.com. The court then gives you an actual trial date, and you can present your case to a judge at that point.Continue Reading
The process may vary slightly depending on the state and the specific traffic violation. Look up your state's laws and regulations before going to your arraignment, suggests Hannah Elliott for Forbes. Some states allow people to submit a written defense for minor violations, which can save you time and hassle. Others may allow you to take a short traffic course instead of paying the ticket and getting points on your license, which may be a safer option than fighting the ticket in court.
If you decide to fight the ticket in court, prepare a defense, recommends Nolo. This may require you to file for discovery to get information such as calibration records for a radar gun. The defense you prepare should be honest and relevant to your circumstances.
Another common tactic is to ask the court to postpone your trial date, reports Elliott. This can sometimes cause the ticketing officer to miss the court date or cause the court to lose the ticket. However, this may have varying levels of effectiveness and some jurisdictions may not allow multiple postponements.Learn more about Driving Laws

For two young men from Anchorage, Alaska, the journey to a better life after breast cancer begins today, August 23, 2012.
Best friends since childhood, Neil Walsky, 25, and Jesse Frechione, 23, have committed the next four months, the next 6,690 miles, several canisters of bear-repellent and all this other gear to riding their bicycles from Anchorage, Alaska all the way to Cartagena, Colombia in honor of, and to raise awareness for, HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, a charitable foundation whose mission is "to support all women healing from breast cancer by providing post-surgical products and services regardless of financial status" (such products and services include post-mastectomy bras and fittings therefor, breast prostheses and compression garments for the prevention and treatment of breast-cancer-related lymphedena -- i.e., the disfiguring and debilitating swelling of the arm following the surgical removal of lymph nodes adjacent to the breast).
Neil, a former professional hockey player in one of Switzerland's National Leagues and a recent graduate of the University of Idaho with a degree in civil engineering, put his first post-college engineering job at Hattenburg Dilley and Linnell, LLC on hold to make this journey. Jesse, a forest firefighter and geology student at the University of Idaho (who spent his summer working for Hattenburg Dilley and Linnell) is taking the semester off from school. While both are physically fit, between the two, they have less than 1,000 miles of biking under their belts. Only Jesse has any significant first aid experience (he knows CPR). With no research team, Neil and Jesse plotted their route through 10 countries based on their own research. With no corporate sponsorship, no film crew, no support crew carrying food, first aid or protection from the elements and no six-figure book deal awaiting them when they arrive home, they will brave the chilly days and freezing nights riding and camping through Alaska, and will then spend several days wending their way through the Yukon territory, being careful to avoid attracting the attention of hungry and territorial bears.
To stay in touch with loved ones (and the media, including social media), Neil and Jesse will be carrying their cell phones and will keep them charged using solar panels. Their plan is to carry only enough food to get to the next location where they can obtain more food. As they make their way through Washington, Oregon and down the coast of California, there may be occasions on which Neil and Jesse will stay with friends and generous people who have heard of their journey and wish to support it. However, for most of the next four months, and as they continue through Mexico, Guatamala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia, they will pitch tents and cook their own food each night after riding 80 to 100 miles each riding day. At the end, Neil and Jesse expect no finishing-line fanfare, no medals, not even a T-shirt. Instead, they expect to be content with the feeling of satisfaction that comes from knowing that they did what they set out to do and survived.
Which begs the question: Why?
As Neil explains, "Everyone seems to have that one crazy, amazing, and enlightening adventure that they will never forget; I think this is ours. There will be wrecks, fights, exhaustion, aches and pains, and times where you'd give up anything for a sip of water. And in the end all those experiences add up to one thing, an unforgettable adventure." But surely a journey of such magnitude could not be motivated solely for the physical and mental challenge alone.
And surely, it was not.
In 2011, Neil's mom, Agnes Walsky, an otherwise healthy woman in her mid-50s, was diagnosed with a an aggressive invasive ductal carcinoma (the most common form of breast cancer, and one that is not fully self-contained but has "invaded" or spread to the surrounding breast tissues). She was treated with a lumpectomy, removal of 14 lymph nodes, six months of chemotherapy, seven weeks of radiation and a five-year prescription for an aromatase inhibitor (to suppress the production of estrogen, which fed her cancer). The loss of 14 lymph nodes coupled with an immune system compromised by chemo and radiation meant that Mrs. Walsky was advised to wear a compression garment on her arm to prevent lymphedema. She still wears one while engaging in certain physical activities that could cause a flare of lymphedema.
Neil was confident that his mother would survive her ordeal, which began when she fell on a trip to Switzerland and received a bruise on her breast that did not heal upon her return home to Alaska. Neil had already seen his father Buck fight for his life after a life-threatening trauma and survive against all odds. Neil had faith in his mother's strength and in the medical community, but he took note of the fact that there was little in the way of support AFTER treatment for breast cancer. After all of the treatments are done, he wondered, after all of the friends stop bringing dinner over, what then for the woman who remains emotionally traumatized and physically disfigured? What then for the woman who may not be able to afford the cost of post-mastectomy breast-forms and bras? What then for the woman who can't afford treatment for lymphedema?
Neil expressed to his friends and family his concern and his interest in bringing awareness to this issue. Eventually, he was put in touch with the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation. He found himself drawn to the fact that HERS Breast Cancer Foundation's focus was not so much on breast cancer research as on life after breast cancer. A few months ago, fueled by the thought of making a difference in the lives of women who have gone through what his mom went through, and inspired by the movie The Motorcycle Diaries (the story of a young Che Guevara's motorcycle journey through South America that inspired his life's calling as a revolutionary), Neil approached his long-time friend, Jesse, saying, essentially, "I've come to realize that I am going to make this trip at the end of this summer," to which Jesse replied, "OK, let's do it." As Jesse explains, "Life is short, and when an opportunity strikes like this one you don't sit around and let it pass you by, you seize it and go on a ride of your life."
But both Neil and Mark feel that something Mark Twain once said most accurately captures their feelings about their journey: "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
And so, with precious little fanfare except for this blog entry and this lone Tweet by @neilwalsky saying, "Our wheels set in motion at 4:30 am AKDT, let the adventures begin!!! #AlaskaToSouthAmerica #breastcancer #cyclingsouth," the adventure began today, Aug. 23, 2012.
I had the honor of speaking with Neil and Jesse just the other day, having been introduced by Veronica Olah and Andria Barrera of Gutenberg Communications. After a lovely afternoon of talking with them about their lives and their goals, I look forward to keeping in touch with them over the next four months and helping them to make a record of their ambitious travels.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: instant-read thermometer
Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the turkey pieces and pat very dry with paper towels. Brush the turkey all over with oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the turkey, skin-side up, on a baking sheet with the thick end of the breasts and thighs at the corners, the drumsticks in the center. Roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Remove the turkey from the oven and brush with the Cranberry Orange Glaze. Pour the broth onto the baking sheet to prevent drippings from burning and roast the turkey, covering loosely with foil if browning too quickly, until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F to 170 degrees F in thickest part of the thigh (do not let the thermometer touch bone), 20 minutes.
Transfer the turkey to a platter. Brush generously with more glaze and let rest 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, scrape all the pan juices and browned bits from the baking sheet into a large measuring cup. Spoon off and discard the fat that rises to the surface. Heat the pan juices in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk 2 to 3 tablespoons of the glaze into the pan juices (or more if desired) to make the gravy and bring to a simmer for the flavors to blend.
Slice the turkey and arrange on the platter. Garnish with herb sprigs, oranges wedges and cranberries, and serve with gravy.
In a small saucepan, bring the cranberry juice, orange juice, marmalade and rosemary to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the glaze thickens enough to coat a spoon, whisking often, 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter, then season the glaze with salt and pepper.

Cherry Tomato Vinaigrette
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I originally created this as a complimentary topping for the flank steak contest. Since then, my CSA share has been overflowing with cherry tomatoes and I have found myself making this at least once a week. something about this flavor combination is hauntingly delicious! I have served this sauce with grilled chicken, pan roasted rockfish (striped bass in other parts of the country) and even over grilled bread. I initially just resubmitted the steak recipe but after thinking about it, the cherry tomato vinaigrette really is the star and deserves a place of its own. You can use any kind of cherry tomato, I used grapes initially but have also used sungolds more recently. If the tiny tomatoes you use have a lot of liquid, you may need to pour a bit off the baking sheet to let the shallots caramelized. I wouldn't ditch the liquid though, save it and add it to the sauce at the end! —meganvt01
Serves: 6
pint, cherry tomatoes
large shallots, sliced
tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
tablespoons sherry vinegar
clove garlic, minced
egg yolk
teaspoon kosher salt
teaspoon pepper
cup extra virgin olive oil
teaspoon dijon mustard
- Preheat the oven to 425. Place the tomatoes, shallots, and 1 tablespoon of oil on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine and pull apart the little shallot rings.
- Roast for about 10 minutes. Toss, turn on the broiler and cook for about another 1 - 2 minutes or until the tomatoes blister and break apart. Let cool.
- Mix together the egg yolk, garlic, dijon mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil.
- After the tomato shallot mixture has cooled to warm, toss with the vinaigrette. It will thicken slightly.

An Exhibition of Painting and Sculpture
May 9 - August 20, 2002
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition of painting and sculpture. The exhibition will include works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marcel Duchamp, Robert Gober, Damien Hirst, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Yves Klein, Franz Kline, Jeff Koons, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, Robert Ryman, Jenny Saville, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly, Andy Warhol and Rachel Whiteread.
While seemingly diverse, the works all display a particular correlation between object and ground whether achieved two dimensionally or with an actual object. An underlying current of sexuality and death runs through and connects the works in the exhibition.
A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition.

How to work with LVR restrictions in New Zealand
Last month new loan to value ratios limits became official as a part of the Reserve Bank's move to control property prices. Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler explained in comment to the New Zealand Herald that the new law would minimise the risks of lending to such buyers:
"Investor lending has been increasing rapidly and is a significant contributing factor to the current market strength. The proposed restrictions recognise the higher risks associated with such lending."
Banks are now permitted to make no more than 5 per cent of their total lending to investors with an LVR of less than 60 per cent. It's clear that this will affect residential investors adversely, making investment more challenging – but there's ways to work around these changes.
They don't necessarily make investing harder, they just necessitate a more creative approach. Let's have a look at a few possible options.
Buy out of the ordinary
As you would have heard from the media outcry recently – QV puts Auckland's median property value at over $1million. If you're investing in Auckland you could have to come up with a $400,000 deposit, a figure that may prove too lofty for even seasoned investors.
Buy outside of Auckland and your deposit could halve instantly. In Whangarei for example, the median price is just over $440,000. A 40 per cent deposit at that price is $176,000.
Plus the area actually saw median value gains of almost 7 per cent more than Auckland did for the year ending 2016, so property in Whangarei can certainly be just as lucrative.
Consider locations you may not have before based purely on their affordability and potential to turn a profit.
Go with a new build
In a bid to help fund and incentivise development, the Reserve Bank has decreed that new builds are exempt under the new LVR speed limits. This applies to homes that purchased directly from the developer at most six months after construction. Under these exemptions, you may be able to borrow and buy an investment property with an LVR of 80 per cent.
This will bring the deposit on a home at Auckland's median value down to roughly $200,000. Still a large sum, but far less imposing.
Statistics NZ shows that there has been almost 10,000 homes built in Auckland so far this year, so you'll have plenty to choose from. If you're looking to buy elsewhere you may be in luck. There has been over 1,000 homes built in Whangarei this year, 3,449 in the Waikato and 2,358 in the Bay of Plenty. Interestingly there was almost 1500 homes built in Otago, suggesting you may be able to find a new build in the up and coming investor hot spot of Queenstown.
Each lender is different
As an investor it's not necessary to resign yourself to the impossibility of finding a loan for more than 60 per cent of a properties value. That's because the Reserve Bank's laws state that no more than 5 per cent of a banks loans should go to high LVR residential investors. While it may seem unlikely it's possible to get in that lucky 5 per cent.
If one bank or lender says no to you it doesn't mean that another will. By dealing with a mortgage broker, you'll have more insight into which banks have reached their 5 per cent threshold and which haven't.
It's certainly more difficult for investors after the passing of these new laws, however, with an inventive approach it's possible to see the same positive results from your investment.

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by Sophie, Sep 29, 2012.
I'm gonna watch this movie tonight:rockon: Wwwaaaahhhhhh
Now I just have to watch it... I'm sure we are all losing something by not knowing the entire story that led up to the very slow and very painful (for us as much as the guy being shot) shooting scene.
Hollywood started in a worse place than that... And rarely do much better lately.
hmm going to watch this...........
If I didn't know better I'd say he was enjoying those bullets.
Damn that was ridiculously funny lmao.
absurde but geting hits
You guys might also enjoy this hilariously bad gunshot scene from The Sopranos (which surprises me, because that is usually a pretty realistic show)
And yet he still had time to check out her tits at the end. Happy endings.
From this scene alone, I can tell the characterization of the actors will be great. Definitely going to purchase the DVD.
LOL I saw this on reddit yesterday...
Lol, those old Turkish films are always so bad.
I think this video is real :O Look at his blood :O
Now watching this piece of s*it, I waited for like 2 minutes for that pedo face to DIE !
this is frustrating. he's like a second Chuck Norris.. DIE B**CH !
This is funny. She kept shooting. She was determined to make sure that man stop breathing.
I died like that once.
Oh my Gods!
It doesn't happen often, but you rendered me speechless. Thank you, I think...
Hey I'm Turkish and this is old Turkish film ((

CNN Films announced Monday they are hiring a director whose portfolio includes documentaries such as "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Jimmy Carter Man from Plains," drawing swift condemnation from GOP leaders already angry over the network's decision to produce a film on Hillary Clinton.
The network says in a press release Courtney Sexton will serve as a senior director for the film division that is tasked with producing the documentary on Clinton, who is widely considered a 2016 Democratic presidential candidate.
Sexton previously managed feature documentaries at Participant Media, including the global warming documentary by Al Gore and the Carter film, which explored the former Democratic president's endeavors since leaving office.
The move drew ire from the RNC, who claim the hire only confirms the Clinton film will have a liberal bias.
"Any concerns the Clinton team had are all gone. This puts the 'p' in puff piece," Sean Spicer, the RNC's communications director, told Politico. "What's next, Michael Moore directing?"
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus also responded to the announcement on Twitter, saying "CNN Films new hire sets the stage for a liberal infomercial about Hillary Clinton."
Last week, the RNC voted to boycott any presidential primary debates planned by CNN and NBC if they proceed with their respective planned films on Clinton.
"We're done putting up with this nonsense," Priebus said at the time. "There are plenty of other outlets. We'll still reach voters, maybe more voters. But CNN and NBC anchors will just have to watch on their competitors' networks."
In a statement, CNN said its division planned to air its documentary about Clinton in 2014.
"The project is in the very early stages of development, months from completion," the CNN statement read. "We encouraged all interested parties to wait until the program premieres before judgments are made about it. Unfortunately, the RNC was not willing to do that."

Series: New Horizons in Environmental Economics
By: TC Haab and KE McConnell
320 pages, Figs, tabs
Non-market valuation has become a broadly accepted and widely practised means of measuring the economic values of the environment and natural resources. This book provides a guide to the statistical and econometric practices that economists employ in estimating non-market values. The authors develop the econometric models that underlie the basic methods: contingent valuation, travel cost models, random utility models and hedonic models. They analyze the measurement of non-market values as a procedure with two steps: the estimation of parameters of demand and preference functions and the calculation of benefits from the estimated models. Each of the models is carefully developed from the preference function to the behavioural or response function that researchers observe. The models are then illustrated with datasets that characterize the kinds of data researchers typically deal with.

Talking Tales went on tour as part of the Bath Fringe Festival! We went all the way from Bristol to Bath for "More Banksy than Bonnets" to showcase brilliant Bristol writers with their best humorous short stories. The event was held at Burdell's Yard on Sunday 5th June.
We were super excited to get a five-star review in the Bath Chronical and on the Theatre Bath website:
"Ending a day with ferocious Quokka's, an Australian marsupial, devouring humans on a boat before engaging in various forms of sexual intercourse with werewolves, vampires and zombies might seem unconventional, but is, in my opinion, an excellent way to spend the evening." – Alexandra Wilbraham
Many thanks to all the writers who performed:
Plus Christie Cluett and Thomas David Parker who held it all together:
Go on, give them a follow on Twitter. You know you want to.
Huge thanks to our photographer Jean-marc Nehmé.
Also, a big thank you to Burdall's Yard, Bath Spa Live and of course the 2016 Bath Fringe Festival for having us. We hope to see them again next year!
The next Talking Tales will be back at home in Bristol at Leftbank, Stokes Croft, on Saturday 13th August. Follow us on Twitter or on Facebook to keep updated, and be sure to subscribe to our newsletter (we'll only send you love, not spammy crap, we promise!)
If you'd like to submit a story to Talking Tales, the deadline is 5th August. There is no set theme or genre, but stories must be under 10 minutes long. Simply submit to email@example.com
See you there!
From your friendly Stokes Croft Writers gang

Biasi PiroWood Cast Iron Wood Boiler - PIRO 7
Product ID • BIASIPIRO700
- This Product is no longer available through Houseneeds.com. It has either been discontinued, made obsolete, or is no longer available for sale. Please select another product. Please click here to see Replacement Product.
PiroWood's system is a cast iron, solid fuel, hot water boiler, using the BIASI famous negative pressure Gasification design. This boiler is rugged and engineered for maximum safety and heating efficiency, as well as designed to operate with zero smoke in the house.
The Biasi Pirowood 35 Wood Boiler burns wood at very high combustion temperature, exceeding 2000°F enabling efficiency that approaches 85%.
The Pirowood 35 boiler makes use the of principle of pyrolysis. The fuel placed in the loading chamber is dried and gassed. The volatile substances which are released in the process generated the combustion gas which burns with a reverse flame in the lower chamber.
The Biasi Pirowood gasification of wood and combustion with reverse flame allow an especially low level of emmissions. The high exchange surface located in the lower part of the generator optimizes the transmission of heat to the water of the system. Mechanical adjustment along with fan control make it possible to regulate the power of the unit to the thermal load of the system. This leads to improved use of the load and hence increased autonomous operation.
The Pirowood 35 also has advantages of cast iron construction which include; structure with monobloc elements, no internal mechanical stress, resistance to corrosion, self-cleaning finned exchange surfaces.

Human beings are storytellers. It is part of our genetic makeup. From cave paintings to mind-numbing advertisements and the mental catheter that is television, tales are told.
In fact, we cannot help but tell stories. Simple conversations resulting from simple questions like, "How was your day" provoke stories. Since their inception as grunts and gurgles to paintings and refined literature, they've come a long way and across numerous media.
We are compulsive storytellers, spending millions of dollars and many years of our lives creating new ways of sharing those narratives. Whole industries have been birthed through the desire to tell stories.
It can be argued, then, that video games are our latest and most immersive storytelling vehicles yet. As such, where is our great video game "literature"? More to the point: Will video games ever have their "Moby Dick" or "Citizen Kane"?
"My first response is to ask whether the analogy is the right one," Henry Jenkins of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told me. "If the question is, 'Will video games become a serious art form in their own right?' I think the answer is inevitably yes. Whether the analogy is to literature or to dance or to cinema or theater or any number of other media, it's hard to know what the right approximation is. In a way, to frame the question that way is like saying, 'Will cinema become theater?'
"We have to say that there are things that theater does that cinema never would do; there are things that cinema does that theater could never do. At the end of the day, we don't look at every movie we see and say, 'that wasn't as good as the play.' The problem is whenever you're in a new medium, the first attempt is to begin to say, 'does it look like X?' Because that's the vocabulary we have."
For all their advantages, video games don't allow for stories to be told in the traditional manner. The player is, by definition, not the same as the reader of a story. The player is the catalyst for the events in the game. He is not passive.
"It doesn't mean that they can't generate aesthetically and socially meaningful experiences which communicate complex ideas in a rich way," says Jenkins. "So, if we take that as our definition of art, then, in fact, I think games are already there and will get deeper and deeper as they go along."
But Jenkins also points out that rigid story arcs and predetermined outcomes belie the true nature of video games.
"Some of the directions that video games are moving in will look more and more like literature. If you take a game like Final Fantasy, you are certainly still in the trajectory of at least really good genre literature. Some of the things video games are going to do are what literature has long wanted to do," Jenkins says.
If we take Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" (the Russian epic that reconstructs Napoleon's invasion of Russia and its turning point at Borodino) as an example, Jenkins says that it is as if Tolstoy desperately wanted to be game designer Will Wright or Sid Meier. Tolstoy wanted a medium that allowed him to simulate this event and then rearrange the pieces to see what the outcome would be. He was looking for a way out of the static narrative.
Jenkins elaborates, "The last hundred pages [of "War and Peace"] is this essay that Tolstoy wrote, saying 'if the Russians had done this differently, then this would have been the result and if the French had done this differently then this would have been the result.' "It's not hard to look at 'War and Peace' and say that this wanted to be a video game.
"Could a game be as good a work as 'War and Peace'? It might be a better work than 'War and Peace'," argues Jenkins.

Lesson 1 (from Introduction | Prologue | Chapter 1)
The introductory sections of "Jurassic Park" are critical to the believability of the novel. The author educates the reader about the dangerous history of biotechnology. At the same time, the author introduces a fictional company, InGen. By introducing the real with the fictional, the author ties the two together and makes the fictional seem genuine.
The purpose of this Lesson Plan is to study the author's use of intermingling fictional accounts with genuine information in order to create a seemingly genuine setting for the novel.
1. Task: Break into small groups and discuss how the author's use of genuine information mixed with fictional accounts affects the story's setting. Is the author successful at making the story's setting and premise seem possible, even believable? Why or why not?
2. Task: Identify at least three instances in which the author mixes genuine with fictional information to create a cohesive...

If a vendor like Microsoft isnt listening, its probably because you havent got their attention. There are a number of ways to do that, but the easiest and least likely to be taken as a personal attack is simply to be candid and tell the vendor what you need them to know as often, and as consistently, as you can.

Also, it helps to have milestones and meeting minutes, vendors get distracted (and few IT shops have either milestones or meeting minutes). Those that do will probably be more effective at having their needs addressed more quickly.
Fault and Project Ownership: EMC
One of the big problems with Microsoft is they generally dont supply the solution that relates to their technology. They may provide a lot of it, but someone else often has to finish the work so that it meets requirements. This is true of big products, and small systems (for instance the most interesting phone based on Microsoft technology is the Neonode, a phone where the phone maker did its own interface on top of CE and created what could be a legitimate iPhone killer).
For large implementations we regularly use third party services organizations, VARs, or specialists to complete our projects. And many of these folks, when they run into a problem, point at Microsoft as the cause regardless of what that cause might be.
A few years back I took a look at a Linux desktop implementation which resulted from what was presented as a Microsoft screw up. It turned out that it was the service provider that screwed up and then used the event to raise their monthly fee for support for the now Linux environment substantially. It is probably a wise practice to talk to all of the parties involved when there is a screw up and make your own determination with regard to who owns the blame and what the fix actually should be.
The reason I called EMC out at the head of this section is that the company has decided to go down the non-traditional path of taking ownership for the joint Microsoft projects they take on. They are developing a reputation for taking responsibility for related problems regardless of who is at fault and focusing on getting those problems fixed rather wasting time blaming Microsoft.
Id like to see more solutions providers go down this path as, like you, I dont really care who is at fault, Im much more interested in getting the problems fixed then hearing excuses regardless of what the excuse actually is.

Fredericton, NB, Canada – December 17, 2014 – It is with great sadness that we learn of the recent passing of scientist and former Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) employee, Mike Eaton.
In the late '80s CARIS worked with CHS on an ECDIS test bed project led by Mike Eaton. The research that Mike did with CARIS in the '80s and early '90s contributed to the development of the S-52 Specifications for Chart Content and Display Aspects of ECDIS. Mike was relentless in his pursuit to develop the presentation library for ECDIS. The presentation library has seen very little alterations in the twenty years since its development. This is a true testament of Mike's expertise and signifies his contribution to the world of electronic navigation.
A number of CARIS employees have fond memories of working with Mike on the ECDIS research project. For many Mike was a mentor and friend. He was well respected by all and will not be forgotten.

In a world full of green washing, trust has to be earned. That's why we carry certifications to back up what we are saying with solid, independent proof. On top of that, we are the best performing green diaper on the planet according to parent reviews. We are not surprised, as 20 years of diaper innovation has taught us never to compromise with function and quality.
We don't search for acknowledgement from eco certification bodies with low demands. We turn to the tough ones, with the highest requirements for approval. It is no surprise that Eco by Naty is the first eco diaper to receive OK Biobased Certification by Vinçotte, one of the world's most demanding independent certification organizations. This is the strongest proof of ecological excellence we know of today. If we claim that we make the best ecological diaper, we don't expect you to take our word for it. Instead we hope you will adopt a healthy attitude of suspicion towards any "eco" product. Including ours. Be critical. Demand facts. Don't fall for fancy commercial promises.
Use your power as a consumer! Don't expect anyone else to save the world. In the end it is the aware consumer who can make a real difference. If this sounds hard, remember there are millions of you out there. Your gathered impact is huge! Huge enough to make a difference. Use your power wisely.
AB Vinçotte
Vinçotte provides independent services in the field of certification, validation and verification with a guarantee of constant impartiality. Vinçotte's aim is to provide all services and carry out all actions in the field of protection, safety, quality and environment. As a non-profit organisation, Vinçotte does not have a commercial goal.
"OK Biobased" was launched in 2009 to provide companies an independent assessment of their products' renewability. The OK Biobased certification scheme uses a star system to indicate the biobased content of a product. A one-star biobased product has biobased content between 20% and 40% while a four-star certified product has a biobased content greater than 80%.
Via the "OK biobased" certification system, innovative manufacturers can have their declarations regarding the use of renewable raw materials officially confirmed by an independent "OK biobased" certification.
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation
SSNC is an environmental organization based in Sweden. They spread knowledge, map environmental threats, create solutions, influence politicians and public authorities. They work at both national and international levels and they have founded one of the world's most challenging eco labels, Bra Miljöval (Good Environmental Choice). SSNC is governed by its members.
Bra Miljöval is the eco label of SSNC. It is referred to as Good Environmental Choice in English. SSNC started eco labelling laundry detergents and paper in 1988. Currently the system covers 10 product areas and their labeling enables you to choose the products that are least harmful to the environment.
SSNC is constantly arranging reports where it highlights environmental problems to make consumers aware of the environmental issue and make them aware of opportunities to make a difference.
FSC is a global, non-profit organization dedicated to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests. Through certification, FSC creates an incentive for forest owners and managers to follow best social and environmental practices. This incentive brings direct benefits to the forest, such as protecting biodiversity, indigenous peoples' rights, worker's rights, and areas of significant environmental or cultural importance. FSC certification ensures that products come from well managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.
Chain of Custody certification applies to manufacturers, processors and traders of FSC certified forest products. FSC Chain of Custody certification verifies that FSC certified material is identified or kept segregated from non-certified or non-controlled material through this chain.
Controlled Wood is designed to allow organizations to avoid the categories of wood considered unacceptable. Controlled Wood is material that can be mixed with certified material during the manufacture of FSC mix products. This has enabled manufacturers to manage low and fluctuating supplies of FSC certified forest products, while creating demand for FSC certified wood.
Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association
Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association is a Swedish national association working to improve the conditions and the understanding of people living with asthma, allergy, intolerance and hyper sensitivity. SAAA's core operations is to help create a better society for the ones affected and create understanding and more knowledge about how asthma and allergy affects people. SAAA supports local organisations and their operations and assists the research within the field of asthma and allergy.
Svalanmärkt (The Swallow Tag) is a recommendation of the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association. Svalanmärkt signifies a product free from perfume, allergens and other irritating substances and is therefore perfectly suited for those with allergy or other sensitiveness. Svalanmärkt acts as a guideline for consumers supporting the cause of asthma, allergy, intolerance and hyper sensitivity.
EcoCert is an organic certification and inspection body established in France in 1991 that has certified cosmetics since 2002. With activity in over 80 countries it has become one of the largest organic certification organizations in the world and one of the best known labels in the field of standardization regarding natural cosmetics.
The "Natural and organic cosmetic label" ensures that the product has a minimum of 95% plant-based ingredients in the formula. In addition to this, a minimum of 10% of all ingredients by weight must come from organic farming.
The Global Organic Textile Standard
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was developed with the aim to unify the various existing standards and draft standards in the field of eco textile processing and to define world-wide recognised requirements that ensure organic status of textiles. GOTS aim to define requirements to ensure organic status of textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the end consumer.
GOTS is recognized as the world's leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. It defines high-level environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as well. Only textile products that contain a minimum of 70% organic fibers can become GOTS certified. All chemical inputs such as dyestuffs and auxiliaries used must meet certain environmental and toxicological criteria.
