What to expect at our Sunday Worship Gathering
At Light and Life, we invite people to come to our worship gathering as they are; our style is informal, and dress is casual. We begin our Sunday worship at 10:30am, in our Light and Life Centre, with a welcome from one of the pastors. This is generally followed by about thirty minutes of contemporary worship often interspersed with video clips, bible readings and prayers. This is usually followed by a message from the Bible, an opportunity to receive prayer if you so desire, all wrapped up with tea, coffee and biscuits.
We encourage people to bring their children to church. For those aged 0-14 we run a crèche & Mini church, 'Children's Church' and Transition, parallel meetings to the main meeting aimed at our young people. This is a place where children can discover more about God with their friends in a loving, safe and fun environment. All groups are run by workers authorised by our Child Protection policy.

Yeah, I am deviating again from the technology norm for a post. Every now and then I just feel that I need to share some of the tools that I have found that might be able to help others. In this post, I will be sharing some of the debt reduction and budget planning information I have found over time, as well as some other financial forms that come in handy.
First of all – I will admit I am a fan of Dave Ramsey, Gail Vaz-Oxlade, Suze Orman, and other financial gurus. Most of what each of them speak of come down to a single thing – common sense. Not much of what they say is new or amazing, it is just want Grandma and Grandpa (or great Grandma and Grandpa for some of you) use to do and say. Perhaps that is the problem, we have a generation growing up that only really knows plastic – they don't know the value of cash and savings.
I am not here to talk on cause and effect, but to share information I have been able to gather over time.

Life of a Candinavian: St. Lucia
The night treads heavily around yards and dwellings In places unreached by the sun, the shadows brood Into our dark house she comes, bearing lighted candles, Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
As much as I love the holidays - the lights, the food, the odd and quirky traditions that make up the collage of our personalized Christmases - the harder they seem to get as I grow older. I long more than anything to hug my parents and brothers, spend time with grandma, have drinks with my friends. I am, to put it mildly, extremely homesick.
Around Christmas time in Sweden, one of the biggest celebrations is St. Lucia's Day (or St. Lucy's Day) on December 13th. The celebration comes from stories that were told by monks who first brought Christianity to Sweden. St Lucia was a young girl who was martyred in 304 AD. The most common story told about St Lucia is that she would secretly bring food to the persecuted Christians in Rome, who lived in hiding in the catacombs under the city. She would wear candles on her head so she had both her hands free to carry things. Lucy means 'light' so this is a very appropriate name. St. Lucia's Day is now celebrated by a girl dressing in a white dress with a red sash round her waist and a crown of candles on her head (we usually use real candles, because we're badass like that).
December 13th was also the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, in the old 'Julian' Calendar and a pagan festival of lights in Sweden was turned into St. Lucia's Day.
I wish I had an old picture of the Lucia celebrations from my kindergarten days - there was always several Lucia's, her maids, gingerbread men, tiny Santa's and elves. I love the Lucia celebrations, always have - it's at the top together with Midsummer's Eve and Valborg on my list of favorite holidays.
So if you see me this Sunday, with my hair full of bright lights and singing Swedish songs with notes I couldn't hit if my life so depended on it, don't be alarmed! I'm just celebrating that the lights are will be returning, whether it's by sunlight, Christmas lights or candles on my head.

Sweet new Google Plus design...now only if people cared
Google Plus just updated the iPad app and the design is pretty nifty. Using it on a tablet it is much easier to use and much more fun to browse through than the absolutely horrible Facebook app for the iPad (which doesn't even support the "Timeline" feature for some unknown reason). One can only hope that, with the tighter Facebook/IOS integration coming this fall in IOS 6, Facebook will also take the time to revamp their mobile apps which are seriously lacking in both features and performance.

Aladja community wants Warri council headquarters relocated
Aladja community in Delta State Delta State has canvassed the relocation of the headquarters of Warri-South West Local Council from Ogbe-Ijoh.
The Vice President General of the community, Christian Whiliki, made the appeal when the community leaders addressed the media yesterday.
He said the appeal became necessary to avert further blood from the perennial clashes between Ogbe-Ijoh and Aladja communities.
Whiliki disclosed that no fewer than 19 persons had so far been killed and hundreds injured since 1995.
Also, the president general, Ibrahim Dumuje, explained that Aladja had fully cooperated in all attempts by individuals and governments to settle the incessant dispute.
The community alleged that the Prof. Abednego Ekoko-led panel set up by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa had been unable to resolve the crisis, because the deputy governor and the chief of staff are Ijaw indigenes.
But the Deputy Governor, Mr. Kingsley Otuaro, yesterday denied the allegation of interference.
He said the Okowa administration was committed to peace, as security is part of the SMART agenda of the government.
"We have spent so much time building peace. The Ijaw and Urhobo are brothers. We hope there would be peace between both communities in the coming year," he said.

The kingdom in the sky
Lesotho is blessed with astonishing natural beauty and some of Africa's friendliest people, as DUNCAN CRAIG discovers during a stay in a luxurious mountain retreat
I DON'T recall Clint Eastwood giggling uncontrollably whenever his horse broke into a gallop. So it was a touch disappointing to find myself behaving like an overexcited schoolgirl on my debut ride.
A devoted student of the Western, I was expecting to be something of a natural; cinematically saddle-hardened, if you will.
It started promisingly enough, me clip-clopping along the dusty track squinting heroically at the horizon. Then my guide Marti muttered something to his horse in Sesotho and it accelerated away. My untrusty steed followed suit and suddenly the Maloti Mountains rang with my alarmingly high-pitched screeches and the rhythmic thwack of posterior on rising saddle.
Thankfully there was no one around to witness the scene. That's the thing about Lesotho and particularly its awe-inspiring highland region: it's deserted. You can amble for days without seeing another person, let alone tourist.
Prince Harry's gap-year visit in 2004 boosted the mountainous kingdom's profile but most would still struggle to place it on a map (surrounded by the South African provinces of Free State, KwaZuluNatal and Eastern Cape, since you asked) or indeed pronounce it correctly ("Ler-suit-to"). Yes, in tourism terms the "Kingdom in the Sky" is very much in its infancy.
I visited with my wife Eleen and mother-in-law Annette. Both are South African; neither had contemplated visiting before. Indeed, for the duration of our three-day stay we had the sneaking suspicion that we were the only tourists in the country.
We saw no one resembling an outsider during our passage through the endearingly chaotic border post at Caledonspoort, a four-hour drive from Johannesburg. Here we had our first encounter with the Basotho people, who are renowned for their friendliness and comprise 99 per cent of the country's population.
Our passports were scrutinised, not with haughty suspicion but with fascination and, in one case, open laughter (creative facial hair was big in the early Nineties, alright). We were waved on our way like departing friends, me sulking.
Herd boys dressed in their flamboyant Basotho rugs and white Wellingtons flashed us huge smiles
Once beyond the bustling border town of Butha-Buthe, signs of life thinned out dramatically; just the occasional cluster of circular huts alongside neatly farmed plots. Women hoeing the fields straightened to wave and herd boys dressed in their flamboyant Basotho rugs and white Wellingtons flashed us huge smiles. The only traffic we passed had hooves or was pulled by oxen. It was like stumbling across a medieval heritage park.
Our destination, Maliba Mountain Lodge, was not hard to find. It lies at the end of the road, in glorious isolation 6,660ft up, nearly twice the height of Mt Snowdon. Manager Andrew Mostert led us to the decked terrace with the barely concealed glee of someone accustomed to unveiling the astonishing.
A panorama of verdant, towering peaks awaited, their undulating emerald slopes nicked with flashes of silver as the sun caught distant streams and waterfalls. Wispy clouds floated overhead projecting a roving khaki on the untouched landscape.
Maliba is not the place to come if you crave distraction. The list of activities is pleasingly limited, cajoling you into a restorative indolence. Most guests do little more than sample the array of loungers on the terrace, which fans out from the steeply conical lodge with its open fireplaces and Asian-influenced furnishings.
Some don't even make it that far, preferring to rest up in their private chalets. There are six arranged in a tiered arc. As with the main lodge, they are hand-built in the style of an African "rondavel", with such luxurious touches as underfloor heating and queen-size four-poster beds.
Leaving floraphile Annette to mosey around the lodge's botanical garden, Eleen and I set off into the Tsehlanyane National Park, which surrounds the lodge. Deforestation is rampant in Lesotho, a natural consequence of poverty and cold winters, but this mountainous, 5,600-hectare area is protected, enabling indigenous woodland species such as the squat, culturally revered che-che tree to flourish.
So too some intriguing wildlife: African wild cat, black-backed jackal, clawless otter and the occasional leopard. There are several walking routes mapped out by the lodge. We opted for the "waterfall trail".
We cooled off beneath the icy torrent, tasting the sweet, pure water that serves much of South Africa
It sounded romantic; arriving two hours later caked in sweat we felt anything but. However the exertion was quickly forgotten as we cooled off beneath the icy torrent, tasting the sweet, pure water that serves much of South Africa.
A bit of intrigue never did an establishment any harm and we learned of Maliba's during dinner that night on the boma, a walkway-accessed octagonal platform that "floats" above the forest. With open fire crackling, we feasted on spicy tomato soup and wonderfully tender lamb shank slow-cooked in red wine.
Andrew joined us and told us of "the box", an unmarked, Portakabin-sized container that sits on the apex of a distant, inaccessible mountain. No tracks lead to or from it. The mystery seemed to grip Annette who spent time studying it through the deck's star-spotting telescope. An arms cache? Jetsam from the International Space Station? Bin Laden's hideaway? Andrew has pledged to hike up and find out.
Our stay passed in a flash. We took a guided tour of a nearby village, where we bought sweets for the children and were seen by a sangoma, a spiritual healer venerated among Basothans.
My pony trek was on the final day. I came to a tacit agreement with Lion, my sure-footed if impetuous horse: if I responded quickly enough, I'd look as if I was calling the shots. Passively, I crossed streams and laid down virgin tracks as rock kestrels soared above.
That night we were treated to a performance of traditional songs and dancing from the staff at the lodge. Cast outnumbered audience by a factor of six as we sat and marvelled. We were encouraged to join in and to the amusement of the largely female performers I leapt at the chance to prove it wasn't just horse riding that I couldn't do.
For the second time during our stay, the hills of Lesotho were alive with the sound of high-pitched giggling.

The pattern of the harvest season is pervasive in the Old Testament (OT) and throughout the sayings of Jesus. However, it is a difficult area to study for a new Christian because of the few and scattered references to it in the scriptures, and the apparent unwillingness to attempt serious Old Testament teaching at most Christian churches. Reading the entire bible repeatedly, cover to cover, gives a Christian the best perspective from which to begin. Once the pieces are assembled, patterns emerge which are the most rewarding discoveries when studying the scriptures.
What is the harvest season? It is the basic pattern of planting or sowing seed and reaping what comes from that as well as what is derived from trees in ancient Israel. Most of Jesus' parables were derived from observations about agriculture.
The scriptures separates the two types of crops neatly (which correlates to the Spring/Summer harvests and the Fall harvests):
[Exo 23:16 ESV] 16 You shall keep the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.
[Lev 26:3-4 ESV] 3 "If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them, 4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
[Lev 27:30 ESV] 30 "Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the LORD's; it is holy to the LORD.
[Eze 34:27 ESV] 27 And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I break the bars of their yoke, and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
1) The land refers to the spring harvests, primarily barley and wheat.
2) The trees refers to the Summer and Autumn harvests, primarily grapes (although yielded from a vine, still in this general grouping), olives, and figs.
3) Land harvests required that seed be sown annually just after the Autumn harvests.
4) Trees & vines require different types of maintenance cycles (such as watchtowers for vineyards or pruning tree limbs) but do not require yearly sowing.
So, crops are distinguished by when they are harvested and from where they come (sown, comes from the earth, or from trees). This bears a similarity to God's words to Abraham that his seed would be as the sand and as stars. One is earthly and the other heavenly, referring to the remnant of the Hebrews and the gentiles. It seems clear the gentiles received heavenly rather than earthly promises. Likewise, that which is planted in the earth is harvested from above, and that which comes from trees is harvested from below.
The Seven Feasts of Israel
The 7 major festivals/feasts mentioned by the OT mention the correlation of certain crops with performance of their ceremonies or their celebration. A quick overview of the feasts is as follows:
- The transition between Passover and unleavened bread is immediate. Passover occurs between the two evenings of the 14th and the 15th (6pm 14th – 6pm 15th). Unleavened bread begins on the 15th in the morning.
- The Passover period is a sabbath, but it is not the same as a weekly sabbath. The sheaf of firstfruits specifically occurs the day after a weekly sabbath, not the Passover sabbath. This is crucial to the resurrection narrative.
- Sowing of seeds for Spring harvests occurred after/during the former rains. Barley matured faster, and was most likely the sheaf used in the sheaf of the firstfruits given barley's hardiness.
- The Civil Calendar was in place until Exodus 12, when God changed the calendar halfway through a year (6 months) and established the religious calendar beginning 14 days before Passover. Half years carry potential significance given the split of Daniel's 70th week into 42 months and 42 months (3.5 years each), Jesus' ministry being considered 3.5 years…
The Relevance of the Rainy Seasons
On the issue of rain, God told Israel to rely on the rain rather than creating their own tributaries/irrigation (which was impossible anyway for most of Israel's landscape, despite the Jordan's overflow) from the Nile, which was Egypt's primary source of water for crops:
[Deu 11:10-12 ESV] 10 For the land that you are entering to take possession of it is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated it, like a garden of vegetables. 11 But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven, 12 a land that the LORD your God cares for. The eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
So Israel was highly dependent on the rain cycles, and God emphasized that their adherence to his covenant would dictate whether the rains fell in their seasons or not.
In verses discussing the "former rain" and "latter rain", some have chosen to merge the two into one set of rains. This doesn't make sense from the very terms employed by the scriptures to describe the rains. "former" or "early" refers to prior to something, and "latter" or "later" refers to after something. There must be something separating these rains.
There are three separate rain cycles between the 7th month Fall feasts and the Passover/Unleavened Bread/Sheaf of Firstfruits Spring feasts:
No rain falls in the land from May to September. The former rain, spoken of in scripture, falls in the latter part of October or the first part of November usually. It is this rain that is the signal for the farmer to begin his ploughing and plant his seed. The Bible also speaks of the latter rain, which ordinarily falls in March and April, and it is this rain that is of so much value in the maturing the barley and wheat crops. The heavy winter rains come the latter part of December and during January and February. The prophecy of Joel mentions all three of these kinds of rain. (Manners and Customs of Bible Lands, Fred H. Wight, 1953)
Those three cycles are covered here:
[Joe 2:23 ESV] 23 "Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.
Others take the immediate meaning of "former and latter" and assume that corresponds to only one calendar – that "former" means the rains earlier in the year, and "latter" means the rains later in the year. As mentioned before, these could just be carryovers from the civil calendar used prior to Exodus 12, and the "former" rains are actually stronger than the latter rains.
Many have correlated the latter and former rains with God pouring out his spirit. I do not think this is warranted. Joel describes a fairly clear progression:
[Joe 2:23-30 ESV] 23 "Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before. 24 "The threshing floors shall be full of grain; the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25 I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. 26 "You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame. 27 You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God and there is none else. And my people shall never again be put to shame. 28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. 29 Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit. 30 "And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
So a sequence of events is described in which early and latter rains are restored to the children of Zion, fullness of harvest occurs, and the Lord restores years that Israel was destroyed. Afterward, his spirit is poured upon all flesh. The fact that Peter references Acts 2 must be wrestled with; Peter appears to indicate that the pouring out of his spirit on all flesh occurred at that time and all that remains is the signs and wonders up to the day of the Lord. He does not explicitly say so, so there is no need to invoke a narrow interpretation until more options are considered.
One must also ask to which Harvest is being referred:
[Amo 4:7 ESV] 7 "I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain on one city, and send no rain on another city; one field would have rain, and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
Qatsir (קָּצִיר), or "harvest" in Amos 4:7 above, is the same word used in "Feast of the Harvest" in Lev 23:16 which refers to Pentecost. However, the word used for "ingathering" twice in the OT is acif(אָסִיף), which can also be translated as harvest, but has reference to a root meaning "assemble" or "gathering". Paul referenced this concept as well:
[2Th 2:1 ESV] 1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,
So two main harvest periods are given in Lev 23:16 – One in the Spring/Summer, and the final one in The Fall. The early harvest period is just Barley/Wheat. The latter is all types of fruit. However, the same commandment was given regarding both harvests:
[Lev 23:22 ESV] 22 "And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God."
[Deu 24:19-21 ESV] 19 "When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands. 20 When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over them again. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow. 21 When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not strip it afterward. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.
This concept of "the gleanings" is interesting as it is another stage of the harvest relevant to interpreting revelation. More on that at another time.

Strategic Importance of values in Project Management
1.They shape the organizational culture ,they determine how people or members of the organization will behave when performing their duties and responsibilities e.g they determine the attitude of project team members ,their thinking ,their perception and how they generally conduct themselves during their work .
2.Corporate values encourage communication & sharing among workers ie .members will learn from each other and create a structure that's more organic than mechanistic and encourage members to learn from each other .
3.Values can transform a random group of individual into a coherent and a committed project team members i.e values encourage teamwork and unity among members of the project .
4.Values which are clearly stated provide guidelines for behaviors & secure frame work in which change and growth can be made possible.
5.Values can be strong source of motivation that makes project team members to put extra effort
Critique Limitations of Values
1.Values unlike policies lack the authority to be executed
2.Values do not have quantitative elements that can be used to evaluate the success or failure of a project .
3.Corporate values sometimes contradict societal values

Marla and I went to the stables today to dot/ride on our respective "ponies". She couldn't ride her, due to a nasty looking injury Pirouette has under her chin (some mishandling by a person unknown), but we helped the stables head to clean up/dress the wound, and we spent some quality time with our girl anyway. Then, I headed to pick up Joli in his stall, for our fourth session together. And this is what I found…
But At our stables, horses are turned free for a couple of hours, every day. Which is a mandatory requirement for a locked up, originally free grazing, animal. So I was totally at peace with the fact he enjoyed himself and rolled in the mud like a pig. However, the cleanup part was a bitch 😉
But I think I did a fairly good job of it, and we set to work
Unlike the previous sessions, it went so-so today. My fault, really. I didn't take the time to do the same warm up exercices I have repeated with him every time we worked together before, so the previous connection we'd achieve wasn't there today. We got things done, but my feel was a little rough, a little unexact, and he reacted accordingly. He was both sticky in the feet, and a little hotter in the head, that he'd been before. It's not a big deal, really. He can't be perfect at all times, and neither can I. I'll offer him a better feel tomorrow, and we'll do better, I'm not worried about that
We felt a little "off", out of synch, but nothing unusual for a horse and rider that have met each other only days ago. What *was* rather unusual, was the previous level of connection we'd achieved
Since I was on the horse, obviously, someone was behind the camera, right ?
Indeed, I had handed Marla the NEX7 with 16-70/4 attached, and a mission to "make pictures of Mama on her horse". She shot a bunch of totally unrelated stuff, but she did come up with a few usable frames of Joli and me
I As you can see most of the work on a very green horse, I personally (not being a superb rider) do at the standstill, walk, and trot. I haven't even cantered him ridden yet. There's time for that
Tonight I came to the sad conclusion that my beloved Bona Allen Western saddle isn't fitted for me (on this particular horse). Hence, I'll be getting another saddle very soon (an English one, for a change)
Getting a little recess and some praise
Tomorrow I'm taking my best friend along… and my Nikon DSLR, as well. Hopefully I'll get some better pictures to share 😉

The Jefferson public library building is two-thirds the size it should be considering the services provided there, and less than half the size it should be to provide the services expected of a 21st century library.
That's the conclusion library consultant George Lawson shared with the Jefferson city council at its June 26 meeting.
Lawson visited Jefferson in January to tour the library, meet with staff and library trustees, and hold public forums gathering information for a needs assessment. The purpose of his study was to make recommendations about the amount of space needed and the best use of space, now and in the future, to deliver library services, house the library's collections, and offer educational programs. His study was funded by a grant from the State Library of Iowa.
The library's two sections – the 1904 Carnegie portion and the 1966 addition – total 8,000 square feet. According to Lawson, that size is "significantly too small to meet the community's existing and future library service needs." He continued, noting that the layout and organization of the building "are obstacles to ease of use by residents and to efficient operation by staff."
The library's current services and operations would require at least 12,382 square feet, Lawson said. In planning for the future, he recommended between 16,692 and 19,260 square foot to meet the expectations of a 21st century library.
He compared the Jefferson library's expenditures per capita, square feet, staff fulltime equivalents, public internet computers and internet uses to those of seven libraries in towns of similar population. He also compared the same data to that of the Boone, Carroll, and Perry public libraries.
His comparisons showed the Jefferson library lends 50 percent more items, provides twice as many programs, and has a book collection 17 to 28 percent larger than its peers, but in a building that is smaller than average for either peer group.
Lawson met with library staff Tuesday and suggested two low cost changes to provide more room. The staff weeds the collection continuously, but he recommended taking even more books from the non-fiction collection. He said that with the availability of the internet, libraries no longer need as many non-fiction books.
He also suggested making the circulation desk smaller and less of a barrier between staff and patrons.
Lawson's needs assessment concluded that a larger, more effective library should be "actively and immediately pursued" either at the current site or a new location. A coordinated effort by the library board of trustees and administration, the city council and administration, and the Friends of the Library would be required.
Identifying the best course of action would require hiring an architectural firm to conduct a feasibility study, Lawson said.
The city council has not discussed large capital expenditures for the library. The library has not appeared on the list of 34 budget priorities developed by the city council in the past 10 years.

Cristiano Ronaldo drops 'you never know' hint about future
Cristiano Ronaldo has not ruled out leaving Real Madrid one day, saying his future is still undecided.
The 30-year-old has been regularly linked with moves away from the Spanish giants, with his former club Manchester United often touted as a possible destination as is Major League Soccer.
Ronaldo, whose contract with Real Madrid expires in 2018, has not yet decided what path his career will take next, but is not offering any guarantees about finishing his playing days at the Santiago Bernabeu.
When asked by German magazine Kicker if he could imagine leaving Los Blancos, Ronaldo replied: "Why not? I'm a Real Madrid player at the moment, but you can never know.
"You've got to do what makes you happy. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
"All I can say is that I will always give my best for my club and for Portugal."
That best may be enough to earn him a third successive Ballon d'Or in January, although Lionel Messi is currently regarded by many as the favourite to clinch that crown, having impressed in Barcelona's treble-winning season.
However, Ronaldo has no doubts who he thinks is the leading player in the world.
"Perhaps for you the best (is) Messi, another may think it's (Andres) Iniesta. I respect that, but for me I'm the best," Madrid's record goalscorer said.

Hi Everyone,My wife and I are planning to do the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in mid May 2018, and we plan to start from Matsumoto and end in Toyama. I don\'t seem to find any luggage forwarding service that covers this route and the closest one I can find is Nagano to Toyama or Ogizawa to Toyama. Can anyone help me to confirm if I can drop off my luggage in Matsumoto and pick it up in Toymama, preferably hotel to hotel?Many Thanks Everyone. Have a Nice Day.Warmest RegardsHarold
Hi Harold,
The luggage forwarding services provided through the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route can be found on their English website here. These are the only options that guarantee same-day delivery. I recommend carrying your luggage from Matsumoto to Shinano Omachi Station and shipping it the Tateyama Information Center.
If you must forward your luggage from your hotel in Matsumoto to your hotel in Toyama, your hotel can arrange for delivery for you, but it may not arrive at your destination until the next day.
I hope that helps answer your question.

Miami Dolphins
Plan to purge Dolphins roster was questioned, but this man ultimately gave his blessing
Surprised, and a little puzzled, when you first heard the Dolphins' plan to gut their roster of many their biggest stars?
You have something in common with their boss.
"I question[ed] why," Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said at the NFL annual meeting here Tuesday. "You want to know why. There has to be a justification for it and you want to hear what their plan is. We're constantly reviewing it. You don't do things and say, 'Why was that done?'
"I saw the logic, but certainly I had questions," Ross continued. "Everybody has questions when you lose two players of that quality. You have to have reservations and questions."
Still, Ross did not try to dissuade Mike Tannenbaum, Adam Gase and Chris Grier from jettisoning Ndamukong Suh, Jarvis Landry, Mike Pouncey and others this offseason.
And he has since embraced the front office's jarring decision to turn over Miami's underachieving roster.
"I like where it's going," Ross said of the Dolphins' plan. "Most importantly, the coach and general manager and the whole team believe it's been a successful offseason so far. Like all of us, I'm a fan. I'm going to have to wait in see like you guys are. But I believe in them and what what they're doing and the game plan they have."
Ross is entering Year 10 of his NFL experiment, and remains in search of his first playoff victory. Ross, who turns 78 in May, said the on-field performance of his franchise over the past decade is something he's "not most proud about."
"[It's] a lot harder than I thought it might be," Ross said. "It's tougher, as I always said, to win in the National Football League than it is in business."
Ross said last year's 6-10 campaign "wasn't acceptable," yet elected to bring back the three men most responsible for constructing the team.
Those men convinced Ross that a culture change was necessary, even if that meant parting ways with Suh, who Ross said at these very meetings three years ago that "I'd be very proud with him as my son. He is outstanding."
Ross on Tuesday said: "You like guys, and certainly they gave an awful lot. You hate to see people go, but that's true in life. We're here for win football games. It's not about making friends."
▪ While the Dolphins' 6-10 season inevitably depressed fan enthusiasm for the team, team CEO Tom Garfinkel said that 75 percent of last year's season-ticket holders have renewed for 2018, and that the Dolphins have sold 4,000 new season tickets.
Meanwhile, construction has begun on the tennis complex adjacent to the stadium that will host the Miami Open beginning in 2019.
The Dolphins also have raised their hands to host future Pro Bowls and NFL drafts, although Garfinkel had no update on those applications. The Super Bowl is coming to Miami Gardens in 2020, and when the bid process for future games begins, the Dolphins will "throw our name in the hat for that, too."
Furthermore, Hard Rock Stadium is among the facilities that could host the World Cup in 2026 if the joint bid involving the United States, Canada and Mexico beats out Morocco.
"I don't know if expectations are the right word, but we'll certainly be aggressive in our pursuit," Garfinkel said.

Review: Artdeco Camouflage Cream
Concealers are one of the most useful kinds of makeup, especially if you, like me, are not blessed with perfect skin. Concealers are especially helpful after an all-nighter, a night of crying over something or someone or when you've been in a brawl with someone. It can make a rather flawed complexion seem glowing, smooth and perfect.But since it is considered a foundation as well, a foundation of the makeup you will be piling onto your face, the selection process can be quite tedious. This post is to share my findings on the product I've been using and reflects my opinions.
This is quite overdue as I've purchased this concealer back in April, have been using it since and never did a review. So here goes, for you who is in search of a concealer like I was then:
Artdeco says:
Waterproof cover cream for every skin type to cover red veins, pigmented moles, port-wine stains, tattoos, etc.
Camouflage Cream covers flaws in the skin perfectly and reliably and is ideal for special occasions, like photographic- or bridal make-up. All colors can be mixed with each other which means the skin color can be matched exactly. The Camouflage Cream is also an ideal long-term make-up and lasts well even if the surrounding temperature is high. The cover can be light or heavy – depending on the amount applied and gets waterproof after fixing powder has been applied. It is very practical because Camouflage Creams are available separately, can be combined individually in the refillable magnetic box and those that have been used up can be replaced.
02 Yellow, 0.15 oz. Php 475
I got myself, and according to the SA, too, a shade in 02 Yellow. I'm an NC 25 with MAC [for reference]. I have no idea what made me go to Artdeco that day. I haven't really read reviews about their concealers and it's only fortunate that it was a good buy after all.
Here's a little comparison I did:
Without concealer, skin prepped with Olay Total Effects
and Aveeno Sunblock SPF 50
With Artdeco camouflage cream in 02,
and MAC Studio Fix NC25
What I like about it:
- Does not cake. But then again, aside from Artdeco, the only ones I've tried prior are TFS and Clinique, all of which I never made a review about.
- Creamy consistency but doesn't slide off the face.
- Covers lines and eyebags pretty well.
- Pretty easy to blend.
- Color blends well with my skin.
- Lightweight and does not feel sticky
- No breakouts or rashes, especially my skin is allergy-prone.
- No white cast in photos, see comparison.
- Reasonably-priced at Php 475 [or was it lesser?]
- A little goes a long, long way.
- Wide range of shades to choose from.
What I did not like about it:
- Only available at SM Health and Beauty sections, select Watson's branches and where else? I've bought mine at SM Makati just one time I passed through. See? For people like me whose stuff usually bought in non-SM malls like ATC, Greenbelt and the likes, it's kind of hard to acquire this. EDIT: According to the sweet dustbunny, Artdeco is also available at Rustan's Makati! Yay!
- I really cannot think of any con to this product which brings me to...
Would I buy this again? Yes!

How it all began....
By Richard Stevens
Being on the water has always been a passion of mine, from sailing from a young age to exploring the islands by RIB in my teens. I was incredibly lucky to grow up in a sailing mad family, we spent most of our free time in the summer on the water - sailing, exploring and adventuring!
But it could never amount to a job could it? Surely not!!!
School and university were studies towards I don't really know what, get some qualifications and see what happens was probably the motto. It then seemed to be teaching was the road to go down, studying in New Zealand and long holidays had its appeal!!
In 2009 on return to Jersey I began work at De La Salle College and playing rugby for Jersey during the meteoric rise up the leagues. These were epic times for rugby in Jersey, a good bunch of local boys playing levels we didn't dream about with some fantastic players and winning pretty much everything that was put in front of us! The rugby was only part time so a bit of cash and not loads of training, for me this meant the school holidays there was plenty of free time and lots of like minded individuals to be somewhat leisurely..... The Men of Leisure were formed!
Men of Leisure
The 'MOL' then proceeded to make the most of what are incredible island has to offer, most of the time was spent out on the water or on neighbouring islands, with the odd French rugby tour in the mix. With a bunch of guys, there is an element of pier pressure so stupid stunts and fancy dress were considered the norm. It was around the time when GoPro's were coming onto the season, so most of the summers activities were recorded and then videos were put on YouTube and Facebook . For some reason, people loved the videos, I think that was more down to the incredible locations in the shots rather than the shoddy 'actors' involved! The videos started getting a lot of attention, they were shared around and attracted a lot of views.
We had hit the big time, huge sponsorship deals and media opportunites came about! (may be a slight exaggeration, but Vita Coco were launching at the time and gave us boxes of each flavour to promote, Crabbies Ginger Beer also gave us a few crates of beer, promotion hats and bow ties, We also made a double page spread in Gallery Magazine...) Again another summer video of more shenanigans and epic times.
It was at this point I was beginning to realise where my true passion lay - being out on the water and exploring Jersey's incredible surrounding waters. Every tide presented different opportunities, it is simply one of the best playgrounds you can ever have! It was great that people seemed to love the videos, and the views were from far afield like New Zealand, Africa and the USA. Jersey folk seemed to use it show off their fantastic island to foreigners. Jersey Rugby Club even used it to attract players to the island!
I realised there was an opportunity, so many islanders had not been to the places on the videos, or experienced certain parts of Jersey by sea, people wanted to get out and explore! The following year I decided to make a change and packed in the teaching and jump into the unkown! I went of to Canada playing rugby with a bit of skiing and set about my Seafaris plan of action!
Jersey Seafaris is formed!
Looking back it was a big risk going into it and i was a bit naive, I was told by various people that you could not do it full time - poor weather, short season etc..... But, being young and gung ho i went for it. However, I do not regret the decision at all. Jersey Seafaris is now being run by myself and business partner Daniel Luce, my wife Stef this year is joining the Seafaris team too. We have a fantastic crew and three incredible boats to take people out and explore our wonder coastline. It truly is the best job I could ever wish for!!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Men's Wearhouse Inc MW.N said it would review a previously rejected merger with Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc JOSB.O and a return of capital to shareholders, major investor Eminence Capital LLC said on Tuesday.
The New York-based hedge fund, which is Men's Wearhouse largest single shareholder with almost 10 percent of stock, urged the company to quickly engage with smaller rival Jos. A. Bank over a merger offer Men's Wearhouse turned down in October.
Eminence CEO Ricky Sandler wrote in a letter to the retailer's chief executive officer, Doug Ewert, that he was encouraged by comments in a telephone call on Monday that the company would review all strategic options, including the merger and a "significant" return of capital to shareholders.
"We also fully expect you and the board, given the explicit commitment to explore all options, to actively engage with Jos. A. Bank before their deadline of November 14, 2013," Sandler said.
Men's Wearhouse shares rose as much as 4.5 percent to more than $48 per share after the letter was released. They are currently trading around $47.26.
In October, Jos. A. Bank offered to buy Men's Wearhouse for about $2.3 billion to create a men's apparel heavyweight with more than 1,700 stores - a proposal that Men's Wearhouse swiftly rejected.
Eminence disclosed in a filing on November 7 that it holds 4.7 million shares in Men's Wearhouse. The hedge fund previously said reasons for rejecting the Jos. A Bank takeover offer were "reckless and misinformed," though it agreed with Men's Wearhouse that the $2.3 billion bid was too low.
Jos. A. Bank said last month it may consider raising its $48 per share offer if it was allowed access to its larger rival's books for due diligence. If it wasn't allowed access by November 14, Jos. A. Bank said it would drop its bid.
A representative for Men's Wearhouse was not immediately available for comment.
Jos. A. Bank is being advised by Goldman Sachs and Financo. Its legal advisers are Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and Guilfoil Petzall & Shoemake.
Men's Wearhouse is being advised by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase and law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher.

The Original Victorian Cast Street
How did we ever allow these beautiful Victorian cast lamp posts to be removed & replaced by tacky modern urban style street lighting that can now be found jn so many of our picture post card villages.
If you are fortunate enough to still retain any of these old victorian lamp posts in your village please arrange to have them listed, we would be happy to restore them for you as they then look as good as the day they were installed over 100 years ago. We believe that these old Victorian cast lamp posts should be restored along with our finger post sign projects as they both represent our road side heritage
These period lamp posts can be rewired to modern day safety standards & refurbished at very low cost.
Please do what you can to save them as so many end up like this one, at the end of a private drive instead of in the village high street. The Sussex village of Ditchling has retained all of it's original gas lamp posts which have now been converted to electricity, some of these are the original LB&SCR railway station lamp posts from Lewes Station. the other flutted types were all made locally at Lewes.
We look upon these attractive,character, Victorian cast lamp posts as close counsins to our cast Iron & wooden finger post signs as they all stem from the golden age of elegance that led us into the edwardian period, maybe we should have done far more to protect them from being replaced by their ugly modern counterparts ?

as this one is too badly damaged to economically repair.
Part One of the Refurbishment is that the entire cast column is taken back to bare metal, We pickle the old paintwork with an alcohol based paint remover, the next stage is the heating of the ironwork with a blow torch followed by a wire brush and sand paper rub down from top
to bottom. The original casting detail is now fully revealed.
After dusting off the metalwork is given tow coats of red Oxide Primer followed by 2 coats of satin finish Hammerite Exterior metalwork paint.
Here you see the bare metal casting with all its original detail clearly visible.
After many hours of preparation the cast column is now ready for its two coats of Red Oxide Primer
Now the cast iron lamppost column is ready for the two coats of Satin Hammerite Smooth Exterior Metalwork Paint. After the completion of the painting the new copper Winsor lantern is fitted to the support frog on top of the lamppost column.
So This Is The Completed Lamppost After Being Fully Restored To Better Than It's Original Condition
This Lamppost Was Cast In A Foundry In Lewes In The 19th Century But Now It Looks As If It Was Made Just Last Week But It Still Retains All The Charm & Elegance Of The Past
Finally the new conduit & replacement heavy duty cable is fitted into the lamppost column & proximity censor which will bring switch your lamppost on as you approach your driveway gate.
We restored this old Victorian Lamppost last year. It Was actually made locally in Lewes at the old Iron Foundry.

Gasoline Top/
This top was an odd purchase. It kept catching my eye when I was shopping at Nordstrom and even though it's sort of an unflattering balloon-like cut, I couldn't escape it. I just love the colors and how it basically carries an outfit all on its own without needing any other frills or layers. Every girl needs a few pieces like that in their closet. The kind you can throw on with the most staples and still be able to make a statement. It's the easiest way to fool everyone into thinking you actually put thought into it.

As the title states,this thread is a HD calibration walk through.
Some important notes before we start..
1. This is based on my experiences with ps3 and is a guide only,
it may work ok for xbox too,either way you can revert to the defaults again.
2. Some steps are missing from the THX optimiser,this is intentional
on my part,as long as you follow the following text everything should
be vastly improved.
3. The 2 larger images towards the bottom of the tutorial are to
be saved to your desktop then transferred to your ps3 via data
stick or equivalent and opened up full screen when you get to the steps involving
said images.
4. If your TV set supports enhancements such as colour depth IE warm,cool,normal,cinema ect or any sort of enhancement at all,
you should disable them all and have the colour set to WARM.
Things like noise reduction should also be disabled as should the backlight.
5. VIA your XMB go to the ps3 settings and then goto video output
settings then select HDMI if supported and select custom,you
then want to uncheck 720p & 1080i and have only the first one checked and 1080p.
6. This is best done in low lighting but not darkness..i suggest dusk/evening with a low powered lamp behind the screen.
Next goto cross colour reduction filter and turn it on.
Then RGB full range HDMI and select full.
Last but not least in the pre calibration tut..the last menu 'ypb/cb/cr super-white HDMI option should be set at on.
Before 1 get pounded with comments, i will disclose that this method is
not the best way to calibrate your digital set.
The intention here is to make some basic adjustments to get your set closer to perfection. Let's just say it's much better than "eyeballing" the adjustments!
Tucked away on just about every Pixar and Lucasfilm DVD
since the year 2000 is a "THX Optimizer" chapter in the SetUp or Special
Features section of the DVD. Check any of the recent kids DVDs
from Pixar: Monsters, Inc. seems to be the one 1 use the most.
Pop the disc in and look for the Optimizer chapter. The DVD
will walk you through a series of tests, complete with instructions,
on how to adjust your set to best "pass" the test. IF however you
have no pixar movies to hand then you can go onto the PSN store
and download the bourne identity' game demo,within this demo you
will find the THX optimiser which we will be using in a mo.
Now.. The first test helps adjust your Contrast and Picture settings.
You're looking for the darkest blacks and the brightest whites in this test.
The DVD will show a white box that has eight sections to it. Around the white
box is a black border. For this test, you adjust your Picture and\or Contrast
settings so that the eight white boxes are distinct and so they don't blur into
the black border.
what i done was set my contrast real high then bring it down 1 bit at a time
until the distinction between the shades of white where evident..
once this happened i brought it down 1 extra bit just for good measure LOL
Ok...The second test focuses on setting the Brightness levels.
The test will show the "THX" logo surrounded by boxes in ten shades of
black. Here you want to ensure the black levels are dark, but not limited
to just a few shades of black. This will help with dark scenes and
shadows, providing depth to those areas of the screen. Adjust your
Brightness settings until you can count seven of the ten shaded boxes.
A few notes on the above step! If you have a back-light
feature be sure to turn it all the way to 0 so essentially OFF. This can always be increased after to suit but wait until you have done the tutorial.
PS. look at the bottom layer of boxes and then count right to left by a margin of 7! or look at the top and count left to right..whatever tickles your pickle.. either way the 8th and every one after should be pure black weras 1-7 should be distinct. (re-edit,i would actually do 8 boxes distinct and 2 pure black..this is due to SD test variants.. should provide better results in both instances)
The next test requires special blue filter glasses available from THX
and helps with the colour and hue of your set. Luckily, you can skip
this test if you don't have the glasses (a short tutorial
will be provided in a mo to set up you colour without the glasses)
or if you just feel silly wearing blue glasses. Skip this
chapter and quit out of the demo for the last stages.
Ok now we will do colour and sharpness.. These are my own techniques
and should provide vast improvement. Download each photo below and
follow the instructions.
Look for the red box, which is the sixth colour box across the top
half of the screen. Adjust your Colour settings on your TV to make
the box red, but not bleeding into the boxes next to it.Colour and
Sharpness A good way to approach this test is to back your Colour
setting to zero so that the picture is black and white. Step up your
colour settings until the red appears red to you, but again, not so
much that it bleeds into the next box. Once the Colour setting is
good, adjust your set's Tint setting until the Cyan and Magenta
(3 & 5 respectively) blocks appear correctly. This test is a bit of
judgment on your part and not all TV sets have a tint setting.
Finally. This test is also semi-subjective, so there is no right or wrong here.
What you want to do here is turn your sharpness levels to zero
and then it should go slightly blurry dependent on model of TV,
now you should increase sharpness one click at a time until the
image looks good to your eyes. In my own case i moved it to
zero and increased it by 3 and this seems best to me but it is
subjective and model dependant so just increase/decrease until
your happy.
That's it! You've run through some basic calibration techniques to
provide a better picture on your digital TV. At this point,You may want
to download a blu-ray demo of a film from psn just to see the
improvements.. i would recommend casino royal as it has some
deep colours and some vibrant ones so its perfect to see these
changes you have made.
Closing notes: Although it may seem darker than before,this is
normal so don't worry.. the colours should be richer and deeper
and this is fine,you wont need to adjust for movies ect but you may
or may not need to adjust for gaming..if this is the case and a
particular game is too dull,simply adjust from in-game options so
as to save the integrity of the calibration.
Also you may want to increase the backlight ever so slightly,i done it to around 30% but once more its subjective and you may need more or less.
Another thing of importance is lighting in the room you use the TV.. I suggest for best results you play games with a low powered lamp behind the screen.. or alternatively you can but a light specifically for this.. it clips on the back of the set,this allows your eyes to adjust to the images seeing as they wont if played in a setting with no lights at all.
Hope you have found this of use and not as daunting as some
of the tutorials out there,i have tried to keep it as basic as i can
and although this will get your picture to around 80% that is far
better than the 75% previously and its certainly better than
paying so much to have it done professionally..this is a good
makeshift until such times your in a position to pay $$$ for
Any help required just ask in here and I'll try answer. Post back
your results aswel as id be interested in if this is a good guide.
EDIT: I had to quick edit this because it was very wide lol,fixed now so should be easier to read.
EDIT2: Removed the embedded images as they where massive,just click the links now to download them. Cheers.

Woman who fatally stabbed Burnaby social worker found not criminally responsible due to mental disorder
A Fort St. John woman accused of fatally stabbing a much-loved Burnaby social worker has been found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.
Ayelech Ejigu, 46, pleaded not guilty to the September 2011 second-degree murder of Bayush Hagos, 57, in the victim's apartment.
In a 175-page ruling released Monday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Barry Davies found that the Crown had established beyond a reasonable doubt that Ejigu, a mother of three, used a knife or knives to stab Hagos at least 79 times.
The victim had taken the accused into her home while Ejigu was on bail and awaiting the continuation of her trial in Vancouver on a charge that she had attempted to murder her husband.
Responding to a 911 call, police arrived at Hagos's apartment in the 4100-block Maywood Street to find Hagos lying on the floor of her bedroom covered in blood.
Hagos was seen to have large wounds to her hamstring muscle and around her back, neck and head. Ejigu was found on the apartment balcony lying on her back with a small steak knife in her hand.
When she was told to put the knife down, she began to strike the side of her head with the serrated edge of the knife. She was shaking violently and making incomprehensible sounds before police removed the knife from her hands.
Prosecutors argued that when the accused killed Hagos, she did so intentionally and was therefore guilty but Ejigu's lawyers argued that she was suffering from a mental disorder at the time that rendered her incapable of appreciating the nature and quality of her acts.
Justice Davies said that the totality of the evidence convinced him that since June 2010, Ejigu has suffered from a serious mental disorder characterized by both psychotic and depressive features and symptoms.
"I conclude that, based upon my consideration of the whole of the evidence, it is more likely than not that when Ms. Ejigu killed Ms. Hagos by stabbing her with a knife or knives more than 79 times, she did so because of psychotic delusions driven by persecutory beliefs that she was acting in self-defence."
The attempted murder trial had been moved to the Lower Mainland from Fort St. John, where Ejigu lived with her husband.
Ejigu, who came to Canada from Ethiopia, was acquitted of the attempted murder charge on the grounds that she was a battered spouse.
She testified that her husband was abusive toward her to the point where she feared for her life and that he forced her to watch pornography and perform sexual acts she found degrading.
Three psychiatrists — Dr. Mark Riley, Dr. Jeanette Smith and Dr. Stanley Semrau — testified during the lengthy NCRMD hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.
Riley and Smith supported Ejigu's defence while Semrau, testifying for the Crown, did not support the defence.
After rendering his verdict, the judge ordered that the case be referred to the B.C. Review Board, which is expected within 45 days to make an assessment of Ejigu, who will remain at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam.
Gordon Comer, a spokesman for the Crown, said outside court that the decision "wasn't really unexpected" given the testimony of the psychiatrists.
"The Crown needs time to review it and consider it."
A woman who worked with Hagos for 10 years and was one of her close friends wanted to know why no inquiry had been made into Ejigu's initial release on bail.
"Somebody should review the process of releasing her in the first place," the friend, who declined to give her name, said outside court.

Sandvik launches new pilot bits for more efficient raise boring
Most raise boring applications begin with the drilling of a pilot hole. The general length of a pilot hole varies from 30 – 1000 meters, with standard drill pipes of 1.5 meter length. The time and cost involved in pulling the pipes
out from a deep pilot hole is significant and the service life of pilot bits is therefore crucial when it comes to keeping down cost and time for any raise boring project.
One of the main reasons for changing bits in the hole is gage wear. Consequently, in order to extend the service life of the pilot bits, a lot of the development work Sandvik has made on the new bit design has focused on
improving gage protection. The new Sandvik RR880 premium pilot bits provide both durability and hole straightness and up to 35% longer bit life than its predecessor, substantially reducing the time and cost for changing tools.
"With the new Sandvik RR880 pilot bits, you can drill longer between bit changes. Fewer bit changes means shorter project times and increased profit at the end of the day", says Göran Strand, Product Line Manager,
Sandvik Mining.
As a leading supplier to the mining industry, Sandvik's full offering of rock tools delivers the best combination for all for raise boring and blind boring up/down, and for both vertical and horizontal drilling. The system features a wide range of reaming heads in a number of sizes and types, suitable for any raise boring or reaming applications. Highly trained, expert engineers from Sandvik are equipped to provide the right parts and service
for safe operation, low operating costs and long service life.

Super power
You tend to feel all charged up when you sit on the V-ROD. HT City brings you a first-hand experience of riding a 2010 Harley Davidson Night Rod Special.autos Updated: Jun 24, 2010 02:20 IST
There's something about seeing Mercs and Porsches making way for you as you cruise at 120 kms/hour in the Capital. In short, it makes you feel superhuman. That's precisely what Harley Davidson has been doing to men (these are not toys for boys) all around the globe.
Tame the beast
A spin on the 2010 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special, or simply the VRSCDX, on a Sunday morning is tempting. One look at the black beast and the hunter within you wakes up. We do a sort of parikrama of it, as if to take a better look before starting to tame it. The huge 5-gallon fuel cell, brushed finish dual mufflers, the forward-mounted footpegs, two orange strips running from front to the rear, metal finishing leave you awestruck. But it is time to hit the road.
The 'run' switch lets out a gushing sound, quite similar to a raging bull before a fight. And the 'start' switch unleashes the power of the 1250 cc V-Twin engine — we're now ready to go on our conquest on this 300 kilo-Harley. The one-up first gear tells you of what you should be expecting. On the next four-down gears you elevate yourself from the state of mere mortality.
Having ridden quite a few heavy-duty bikes, acquaintance with speed wasn't a factor. But just like travelling on an aircraft is different from travelling on a missile going at the same speed, this one was a 'missile' among other heavy-duty bikes.
'With great power comes great responsibility' — those are precisely the words that echo through one's mind as this beast muzzles its way through Shantipath. You realise why buying one of these is not like buying any other super bike; it's also about being part of a culture — the Harley Davidson culture.
Vroom Time
* The VRSCDX has a top-speed of 240 kms/hr. It is the only one in the HD family to have a liquid-cooled engine.
* Five models of Harley Davidson start rolling out of the showroom from next month.
* The bikes range from Rs 6.5 lakhs to over Rs 30 lakhs. EMI schemes available.

The new committee will plan a big exhibition to celebrate this milestone and hope to get a date for Oriel Gallery soon.
Members are pleased to announce that their Award winning WW1 Exhibition is currently on display in the Linen Hall Library and with an even more paintings with our new talented artists.
It was a year of many highlights, In October they were invited to set up an exhibition at the Cloughmills Arts and Antiques Fair.
The club were also invited to Carrick Art Club Exhibition, while in November they were delighted to win another award at the SARN Conference for their contribution to health and well being in the Antrim Community. September was the start of their new term and there was a great turn out on Membership Evening when the demo artist was Trevor Lawrence who did an exercise on skyscapes. End of November saw opening two new exhibitions, the Winter Wonderland exhibition in the Antrim Library then the group opened a feature window in Castle Mall for Christmas with stands on the Mall.
The club look forward to a still life demo with Colin Corkey on May 9 and are hoping to have an outing to the Richard Crofts Gallery and return to Castle Mall and Greenmount.
