What is the best thing that I love about my work? The best thing is that I don't feel I am working, and of course the most amazing thing about it is that I can transmit how I fell and who I am through my playing and my teaching.
What is my idea of perfect happiness? Happiness is something that should come from our attitude, and what you need to make it perfect, is just try to have peace with yourself and with the people you love.
What is my greatest fear? Losing my close family and friends and of course not being in good health.
What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? Sometimes I believe and feel that I can handle too many things at the same time, but when I realize it, sometimes is too late,and normally I used to make mistakes due to the fact that I am always with and extra charge of things on my shoulders, I would rather prefer doing less but on the best possible level.

What is my greatest extravagance? I don't consider myself extravagant.
On what occasion would I lie? I don't like lying, but if I don't have another option, maybe just if I forgot an appointment with someone or in a similar situation,but believe me, I hate it! Even thought in Spanish, my mother tongue, we call them ( mentiras piadosas ) which means to lie to help you to get out of a particular situation without hurting anyone.
What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? I It is very annoying when I don't get paid in a reasonable period, or when I meet people who expect that this job is for free. I always wonder " What if I need a lawyer, and I ask him to do his job for free? "

If I could, what would I change about myself? Being more patient
What is my greatest achievement in work? I think just the fact of living from what I like is a great achievement, but musically talking so far, I think playing in so many astonishing theaters in Italy doing Opera and starting to get involved in baroque music.
Where would I most like to live? I love Milan, it's a wonderful city with a great degree of liveability, it's organized and for me this is very important, for the same reason I mentioned before, I like Berlin.

Looking for a chamois for most rides? The Gunslinger handles mid to short rides with ease. This mid length innerwear is less noticeable on and off the bike while still offering comfort to stay in the saddle. Club Ride has changed the game redesigning our Innerwear with soft, light, quick drying, four way stretch knit fabric.
2 Hour Ride Time:
Chamois comfort are very specific on personal preference. That said we classify the Gunslinger as comfortable up to 2 hours in the saddle.
Fabric | ActiveFlow quick drying, breathable four way stretch fabric
Stretch | 4-Way
Fabric Content | 44% Nylon / 44% Poly / 12% Spandex
Fabric Weight |155 g/m²
Stretch | 4-Way
Construction |5 Panel Body Shaping Construction
Waist Band | Wide waistband for comfort and lasting fit
Fit | Mid Length Fit / 8" Inseam

I never say that about bike shorts. I dump my bike diaper the second I get off the bike, these things are so comfortable they don't bother me.
These are perfect for my needs, the fit is great, the comfort, the weight. I bought a 3 hour as well and while those are great, the 2 hour are my go-to.
I had an issue with a weird smell I think from the factory. CR jumped all over it and sent a replacement without me even having to ask. CR not only has great products but world class customer service!
Worn on a couple rides now. Light and airy and they breath very well. Barely feel them. Pad is good and does its job. Really great liner regardless of the price which is just a bonus! Better buy 2!

Canada Day 2019
27 June 2019
High Commissioner of Canada Sandra McCardell hosted a Winter Carnival in Pretoria to mark Canada Day. This will be her last celebration in South Africa as she completes her term at the beginning of August.
Photo: High Commissioner of Canada Sandra McCardell with Secretary of Defence Dr Sam Gulube
High Commissioner McCardell reflected on her time in South Africa and recounted some of her greatest memories which include:
• Meeting many South African stalwarts of the freedom struggle, being inspired by what they achieved, and learning from South Africa's experience of transformation and reconciliation – which has great meaning for the world
• Witnessing Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney receive the OR Tambo award in gold – the highest award to a non-South African – for his work within the Commonwealth in the fight against apartheid. While PM Mulroney welcomed Nelson Mandela in Canada only a few months after his release from prison, Nelson Mandela addressed Canada's Parliament before his own.
• Welcoming President Ramaphosa to Canada for the G7 Summit in June 2018.
• The launch of the Southern Africa-Canada Chamber of Commerce, and exciting and growing science and technology and innovation partnerships.
• And getting out of the office to meet inspiring South Africans in all sectors of society – and having the opportunity to support some of their great work.
She mentioned some of the Canadian funded projects supporting South Africa's development which include: support to the Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital, Women's Voice and Leadership project with Gender Links, Building a Capable State project with Treasury, a project supporting social housing through NASHO and the Social Housing Regulatory Authority, and a new Ethics and Integrity project with the DPSA.
High Commissioner McCardell concluded by saying that as she passes on this fabulous posting to her successor, "I am excited for the opportunities – both Canada and South Africa find themselves sharing so many goals –inclusive economic growth and jobs for our citizens, a cleaner planet for our children, good governance, and peace for our citizens. I am delighted at the commitment as both our countries now have achieved gender parity in Cabinet. We hope to be privileged to be able build on South Africa's success in the UN Security Council with our own term in 2021-22."

We Need ''Enterprise'' System-Level Solutions
(11/20/2006 9:43 AM EST), EE Times
This is the first of a two part series. The second article will appear shortly.
To close the gaps in systems development across distributed design and verification teams it will become necessary to plan, design, and verify embedded software closer in-line with the way we currently design and verify hardware. In the past, embedded software development, or more specifically verification, has taken a back seat when compared to the hardware. In other words, as long as the perception remains that software can be relatively "easily" changed and firmware updates and patches can be made available, it will not be given the same level of focus, overall planning, or effort as the hardware.
This oversight or lack of planning in the area of hardware-software co-development has resulted in a situation where less investment and methodology development are budgeted for comprehensive "Enterprise" System-Level solutions. The increasing number of consumer products with embedded processors and embedded software, combined with time-to-market and system-level quality pressures, forced many system companies to re-think their design and verification strategy. The main area being overlooked includes hardware and software verification methods and tools that work together in a much more efficient, measured and managed way.
In order to make this leap into the world of hardware-software co-verification at the system level, companies will require new ways of thinking holistically. They will need to manage the various technologies, engines, verification IP, and methodologies for multi-specialist teams across the entire project (hardware and software). This broader awareness will address serious product lifecycle concerns and market pressures for those developing advanced SoCs and systems, which will in turn open up opportunities for EDA companies developing innovative enterprise-wide, system-level solutions.

This is particularly important when it comes to websites, which is essentially your online shop window. Make a bad impression, you lose a potential conversion. Make a good one, you gain a customer. Make a great impression, and you can potentially gain and keep a customer for life.

A brief escape...
We've just spent the weekend camping with friends on the beautiful Berkshire Downs in the Vale of the White Horse. Although it was a rush to get there after work on Friday and to pitch up before dark it was well worth the effort. We had a lovely few days catching up with gossip, wandering and exploring and making the most of summer's end. Here are a few photos... they hold memories of a picturesque and peaceful little interlude in my very busy September.

Growing up in Florida, one of my most vivid memories was getting slathered with sunscreen.

Last Sunday should have been a forgettable day. Both of my teams were involved in lopsided matchups, one winning and one losing. But after weeks of sick and/or lazy Sundays, I was ready for some fun. I watched the early games at a great sports bar, then had quality rehearsals with two of my bands, Mystic Canyon and Harmless Eccentrics. Turns out the best way to get over a crushing loss for the Giants is to jam late into the night.
North Coast Greenleaves (4-2) 162,
Vancouver Volcanoes (4-2) 120
Jason and I had been looking forward to this matchup for a few weeks, as it also happened to be the week that his Saints faced my Giants. We met at the Cheerful Bullpen for the 10am start. While the game was painful to watch, the breakfast was tasty and the Spanish Coffee strong! Drew Brees gave Jason an early lead, and Randy Moss sealed it later in the day. Like the Giants, the Volcanoes put up enough points to win against a lesser team, especially during the bye weeks. But there was no catching Jason, even if Pierre Thomas had managed to be one of the 7 Saints to score a TD.
Things don't look too good for Pierre this week either against a stiff Miami defense, but the rest of my team looks solid going into Sunday's matchup against another New Orleans native, Steve, and his Amite Steelmakers, who are gonna need to make some moves due to injuries and byes this week.
PDX Prowlers (4-1-1) 111,
Degoba Green (1-4-1) 55
It was a small consolation as my Giants went down in flames that Drew Brees' huge game was at least helping me in this league. But the Prowlers' biggest point total of the year went to waste as my opponent didn't even show up. Greg Jennings remained on his bench from the previous week's Bye, and he never picked up a Defense to replace the ones that weren't playing this week (Miami and SF.) At least I got the Toyota Biggest Fantasy Blowout award for the week, a new feature on Yahoo's league page. This weekend's matchup holds a lot more promise as I look to break a first place tie with TDs 'N Beer.

The Roma Vienna is an extremely compact powerchair which is perfect for narrow hallways, navigating doorways, and general indoor use. If you are a first-time powerchair user, then this is a great choice.
It's important to note that the Vienna isn't suitable for outdoor use. The 8-inch wheels don't have any suspension, so it would feel very uncomfortable on bumpy surfaces. As the floor in shopping centres is usually flat, then this would be okay.
If you're looking to transport the powerchair, it can be broken down and ready for storage in just a few minutes which makes it easy to transport between locations. The heaviest section weighs 18 kgs which should be manageable for most people.
A padded seat will keep you comfortable while driving this powerchair. The height, width, and backrest angle can be adjusted for optimal comfort. The flip-down armrest will make transferring to and from the chair easier.
The highly responsive joystick control is very simple to use and can be set up for left or right-handed operation.
The Vienna is a budget powerchair and would suit those who don't require any advanced seating or postural needs.
If you're interested in the Marbella or any of our powerchair range, please call us on 02392 255600. Alternatively, pop into one of our showrooms in Waterlooville or Torquay.

The Human Rights Campaign is the nation's largest LGBT advocacy organization, and every year they evaluate cities to see whether their laws, policies, and services are inclusive of the LGBT community. Baltimore got some good news on that front this year.
According to the HRC, Baltimore got a perfect 100 score–much higher than the average score of 56. We were one of only 47 cities in the country, and the only Maryland city, to get a perfect 100. (Actually, we technically scored a 108 thanks to some bonus points we got for programs that provide services specifically tailored to LGBT youth, elders, and homeless people.) The city has extensive anti-bullying policies for schools; there's an LGBT liaison working with the police; and our mayor led the pride parade last year.
There are a few areas in which Baltimore isn't perfectly perfect, according to the HRC's evaluations: Baltimore doesn't provide transgender-inclusive health benefits to municipal employees, for one. But otherwise, this is exactly the kind of report card you want to see.

Gap Year for High School Junior?
Question: My son is going to be a junior in this fall and he is a high honor student at a prep school. He wants to take a year off, but I am worried. Will this hurt him when he applies to college?
Depending on what your son does with his "gap year," it might actually work in his favor at college-admission time. There are many valuable study-abroad and volunteer opportunities that could set your son's college applications apart from others with similar grades and test scores but which boast only the typical high school extracurricular activities. Joining the work force--even in a menial job that will help your son earn cash for college--would be considered worthwhile, too.
However, you do want to make certain that your son has a plan and won't be floundering. You also don't want your son's year off from school to be interpreted by college admission officials as being the result of emotional difficulties or "melt down."
Of course, if you feel that this might be the case, then be sure that your son receives counseling and/or medical attention. There is an enormous amount of pressure on high school students, especially those in high-achieving prep-school communities. Your son might be signaling an overload, so pay attention.
If, however, he simply wants a change or to expand his horizons, we feel that a year off from school could be valuable. For assistance with finding appropriate year-off plans, try these Web sites:
While gap years that follow high-school graduation are more common than those that come earlier, your son may be wise to recognize that it's now that he needs a break. He will probably return to school refreshed and with more focus, and this could help a lot when it comes to making his college plans down the road.

DJ Chicool, in the real name of Arturs Čikuls, started to play in the role of disco, already in elementary school in the years 1997-1998.
Then they were just school-class evenings using cassette recorders and a little CD. After graduating from primary school, one year was a small rest period, while the music collection was constantly being added.
DJ Chicool's career resumed in 1999 as a DJ in several schools in Riga.
From 1999-2003 he worked both as a DJ and as a light-man in several of their yearly entertainment venues: "JB-Zebra", "4Love & $", "Trio" (Lielupe)
In the summer of 2004, at the "Salamandra" club in Riga, hoping for big room capacity, together with DJ San4o began to organize their events, which at that time were sometimes visited more than events organized by other club organizers on Fridays and Saturdays. But in the summer, DJ Chicool understands that this club does not meet many of its technical and visual requirements, and is far from the center of Riga, and this has greatly affected the audience.
It was decided to develop R'n'B style music events in another club in the center of Riga.
In autumn 2004, the series event "R'n'B Nights" continued its development at Night club "Big Point" (Riga)
In the summer of 2005, DJ Chicool started playing at night club "Voodoo". Every Friday and Saturday he spoke at the R'n'B Chillout. And it soon became a popular, crowded hall where the atmosphere of modern R'n'B rhythms was stirred at all times.
In 2007, a new rally promotional group "AFTERPARTY.LV" was created with house rhythms. The bar "Jameson" (Riga) was chosen as the party place. This morning's events were attended by the largest entertainment employees in Riga and sometimes from other cities of Latvia. At the end of their work, they went to the AFTERPARTY.LV event, since they started from 3:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
But in parallel with this project, DJ Chicool play at night club "Kefir", "Golden, "The Club" and "RAY".
In 2009, it was decided that the project "AFTERPARTY.LV" needs its premises. Therefore, a new morning club "Ed Hardy Morning club" was opened. This was a very successful project with a variety of series events, DJs and photo shoots. And only after less than 5 years of operation, for economic reasons, the club was closed.
On the new night of 2016, in the center of Riga, Mr. CHICOOL opened a new entertainment venue "LOUNGE33". It was both a hookah (water-pipe) bar and a night and morning club, at which time until May 2017 various events took place.
But by the end of 2017 Mr.CHICOOL received an offer to fly to Reykjavik (Iceland), which was also accepted !
New place, new projects!

The European Court of Justice has delivered two recent judgments in relation to extraordinary circumstances under Regulation 261: one in favour of airlines, disregarding the Advocate-General's opinion [Marcela Peskova, Jiri Peska v Travel Service]; and one against the airline, apparently disregarding the recitals to the Regulation [Helga Krusemann and Others v TUIFly GmbH].
Case Summary: Marcela Peskova, Jiri Peska v Travel Service A.S.
Under Article 5(3) EU Regulation 261/2004 ("Reg 261") an air carrier is not obliged to pay compensation if it can prove that the cancellation is caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.
In May 2017 the Court of Justice of the European Union ("CJEU") held that a bird strike should be classified as 'extraordinary circumstances' under Reg 261. In the case, two passengers were delayed in total by 5 hours and 20 minutes. A technical failure had occurred which caused a delay of 1 hour and 45 minutes; however the major cause of the delay was due to a birdstrike. In looking closely at the wording of Article 5(3) Reg 261 and the test in Wallentin-Hermann, the CJEU held that a birdstrike and any subsequent damage is 'not intrinsically linked to the operating system of the aircraft' or inherent in the aircraft's normal activity and therefore it is beyond its actual control. This therefore widened the application of Article 5(3) and could easily apply to other events such as lightning strikes and not just bird strikes.
This decision came as something of a relief for air carriers as it did not follow Advocate General Bot's opinion in July 2016 where he concluded that bird strikes are inherent and do not fall within the meaning of 'extraordinary circumstances' under Reg 261. With previous case law narrowing the scope of 'extraordinary circumstances' in favour of passengers, this judgment was perhaps unexpected and may provide some clarification on what will be regarded as 'extraordinary circumstances' in the future.
The judgment does not, however, resolve whether or not the airline is able to avoid liability for compensation. Although the CJEU concluded that once there had been a birdstrike the extraordinary circumstance exception can apply, it also referred the question of whether all reasonable measures had been taken to avoid the birdstrike back to the national court. This reflects the two-limbed test for "extraordinary circumstances" in Wallentin-Hermann. The CJEU held that airlines should take reasonable measures at a technical and administrative level to avoid the birdstrike, but these measures do not require them to 'make intolerable sacrifices'. Furthermore, following the birdstrike, the airline chose in this case to conduct a thorough inspection including flying out a second technician which caused further delay. Although the first technician was qualified to release the aircraft the owner had insisted that a further inspection be carried out. The CJEU was clearly influenced by the fact that where an operating air carrier which is liable to pay compensation, Reg 261 expressly preserves its ability to seek recourse against a third party. The CJEU concluded that any delay caused by an additional safety check when the required checks had already been carried out by a suitably qualified expert would not constitute extraordinary circumstances. The national court therefore has to assess the cause of the delay and whether the initial measures to prevent a birdstrike met a "reasonable measures" test.
Case C-315/15
Case Summary: Helga Krusemann and Others v TUIFly GmbH
In the second judgment, the Court held that unauthorised 'wildcat' strikes do not automatically constitute "extraordinary circumstances" under Regulation 261 and therefore do not necessarily absolve an airline of responsibility to pay compensation for delays or cancellations.
In October 2016, following a surprise announcement by the company of an impending corporate restructure, 89% of TUIFly's cockpit crew and 62% of its cabin crew placed themselves on sick leave for a week. The airline refused to pay passengers who consequently claimed compensation under Regulation 261, taking the position that the strikes constituted extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided, per the provision under article 5(3) of the Regulation, excluding the airline from its obligation to pay. The joined cases were referred to the European Court of Justice.
The Court held that as corporate restructures are an inherent part of any business, the social fallout of these is also an inherent part of the business. Accordingly such fallout, strikes included, cannot be held to be extraordinary circumstances. On the issue of whether the strikes could have been avoided, the Court determined that, as the mass sick leave occurred shortly after the restructure was announced and ceased shortly after the airline reached an agreement with staff representatives, the sick leave was within the control of the company and could therefore have been avoided.
Here the Court appears to have departed from the very text of the Regulation itself. Recital 14 specifically cites strikes as a circumstance where airlines may be exempt from compensating delayed passengers. However, in coming to its decision, the Court relied on its previous rulings in Wallentin-Hermann v Alitalia and Corina van der Lans v KLM to conclude that this recital instead provides that strikes are merely an example of an event that may itself lead to extraordinary circumstances occurring, rather than the circumstances in itself. Accordingly, in interpreting the Regulation strictly, so as to afford the highest level of passenger protection (deemed to be the objective of the Regulation), the present strikes were held not to constitute extraordinary circumstances.
Joined Cases C‑195/17, C‑197/17 to C‑203/17, C‑226/17, C‑228/17, C‑254/17, C‑274/17, C‑275/17, C‑278/17 to C‑286/17 and C‑290/17 to C‑292/17, 17 April 2018

As dental technologies advance, so does the realistic appearance of replacement teeth. Over the last several decades, dental implants have replaced dentures as the most sought-after treatment for missing teeth. While many patients have a lifetime of success with dentures, dental implants tend to look more natural and last longer. During a dental implant procedure, your dentist anchors the replacement tooth into your jawbone using tiny metal posts. Patients with a thin or weakened jawbone may not be a good candidate for dental implants. Fortunately, dental bridges, dental crowns or dentures may be an option. We'll find a treatment plan that works for you no matter what your current dental health condition might be.
Over time, your dental implant integrates with your jawbone in the same way your natural tooth root would. You won't be able to tell a difference when you're doing everyday activities such as eating and talking. The color of your tooth will also be matched to your other teeth so you can smile with confidence. Want to learn more? Feel free to schedule a consultation with us by calling 303-321-8400
If you've lost a tooth from injury or decay, you don't have to live with it. Give the caring staff at Dobro Dental Implants a call today. We provide a variety of general and cosmetic dentistry services and serve patients of all ages. We look forward to hearing from you!

But before you think this column is going to cast more evil light on smartphone invasions, I surprised myself by realizing how much my online communications actually improve relationships. Being disconnected also meant more distance between me and relatives.
I returned to civilization to find a picture my sister had sent to all of our siblings of our grandparents' home in Salt Lake City. It's been about eight years since they sold their home, moved into a wonderful independent living facility and then took turns leaving this life on a good note.

Dancake Portugal has been providing the country with the finest industrial pastry since 1978.
After decades honing the quality of its products and its production line logistics, the company started receiving increasing attention from the B2B sector, wanting to integrate Dancake products into their white label portfolios.
To leverage this interest and expand its worldwide B2B sales, Dancake Portugal created the brand Danesita dedicated exclusively to B2B, which now needs an updated online presence that reflects its modern and robust operation.
The creative challenge was to strike a balance between conveying state of the art industrial capacity and a sense of homemade artisanal quality to the products. The new website should both paint the products as delicious and the company as a reliable and production output titan.
Along with those high level objectives, the implementation should ensure top technological quality, rich in animated details and a coherent user experience in screens of all sizes, as well as improved information architecture, featuring an intuitive content structure and calls to action focused on new business acquisition.
In its first 2.5 months online the website received around 3600 unique visitors, who browsed an average of 3.5 pages, spent an average of 3 minutes viewing contents and had an excellent bounce rate of only 30%.

Startweblogic.exe is a malicious program that leverages the computer's power to mine the digital currency Bitcoin, one of the most expensive currency in the world. Once the currency miner Startweblogic.exe gets on the computer, it starts running in the background. The fact that this piece of malware is running on your PC shows that you should patch some security holds and pay more attention to your online security, especially when new forms of malware are creeping in.
In order to find out whether Startweblogic.exe is running on the computer, it is enough to open the Task Manager and check the Processes tab. If you find its process running, you should stop the process and remove the file from its location. The file can be located in several directories, including the desktop, Downloads folder, and temp folder. If not, then it is necessary to look for the executable in the %SystemDrive%\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\primavera directory.
After removing the malicious miner, you can check how the performance of the computer has changed. Since coin mining requires a lot of power, checking the CPU usage is worthwhile. When no web browsers and programs are active, the CPU usage should be around 20 percent of even less. Spikes in the graphical presentation should make you concerned because they may be the signs of a piece of malware running on the computer. Additionally, your processor may require more cooling, which is also a sign of the presence of a miner.
It is notable that all mining scripts are malicious. For example, Coin Hive is not considered malware, and it can be employed by websites to generate profits without your permissions. There are some browser add-ons, such as AdGuard, Miner Block, and AdBlock, to name but a few that can block such activities.
Editing the hosts file so that the website mining currency is not loaded is an an alternative, but such a modification means that the browser will not connect to the blacklisted domains.
Malware, including ransomware, mining malware, Trojan horses, keyloggers, and many others are spread in a variety of ways. For example, phishing emails, drive-by downloads, bundles, and brute-force RDP attacks are now commonplace for spreading malware. Startweblogic.exe is likely to get on your computer alongside some torrent file, but it would not be a surprise if mining malware exploited some vulnerabilities to access your computer. For example, the notorious exploit EternalBlue has been used to spread the Monero miners Smominru and WannaMine. That only proves that it is essential to keep the operating system and software patched. Moreover, the PC should be protected by a reputable anti-malware program that can filter out malicious files that attempt to access the PC in the different ways.
If you want to try removing Startweblogic.exe yourself, use the removal guide provided below, but do not forget that it is highly essential to have the PC protected against multiple threats, which can steal and damage your valuable data.

Fiat 500D 'Trasformabile' Classic / 1964 / LHD – Low Italian Owners / ASI Gold & Beautiful Condition! £16,995
This highly desirable 'D' model (the most sort after & collectable model in the classic Nuova 500 range is a genuine Trasformabile according to the Libretto) has the very rare 'suicide doors', matching numbers 'D' motor, new full length convertible sunshine roof - 'trasformabile' & 'round speedo' - In fact it has it all!
It's an original LHD Trasformabile finished in one of my all-time favourite early Fiat colours of Verd Oasi, which is just so period correct & suits this charming little car down to the ground. First registered in Cosenza, a city in Calabria, in the very south of Italy. Although possibly not the most attractive of Italy's southern cities, you can just imagine this stunning example buzzing around the city centre, in fact probably being chased by the local Mafia – Probably enough said!
Having only had 3 owners from new & first manufactured in March 1964 at the Fiat Mirafiori plant in Turin, it was first registered in Cosenza where it still resided until its epic journey to less sunny Beckenham.
Owned by the current owner Salvatore, whom is a Fiat 500 Club Italia member, & also the past chairman of the local driving club 'Scuderia Brutia'. Indeed he has a collection of classic cars which are held in his home garage which include a Fiat 500L. F & R model, a Gardinetta & a Fiat 500 Topolino Giardiniera! Oh plus a series 3 Lancia Fulvia, which we also tried to purchase.
Indeed we have images of the little green 500D in Salvo's home garage, so you can see some of his other classics. Naturally these images come with the vehicle.
This stunning example is ASI Gold & comes with the plaque & certificate signed by Il Presidente on 23rd January 2016.
This beautiful example came to us with the original local white on black Cosenza plates showing 'CS 40616'. Indeed according to Salvo it has always been garage kept & underwent a professional restoration in 2010/11 to a high Italian standard. The specialist garage that conducted the works under Salvo's watchful eye, was well known to him, club approved & has done a truly splendid job.
We are told over 6,500+ Euros had been spent on the restoration & that does not include the price of the vehicle in the first place either! It is a testament to the quality & attention to detail on what appears a no expense spared Italian restoration.
Basically everything has been reconditioned or replaced correctly as required, plus there is a photographic record of the key stages which is kept in the cars history file. So in brief: Complete strip to shell, 2 new cills, front nose & boot section were expertly fitted. The car was also rewired by the specialist & the original engine was fully rebuilt along with the gear box. Indeed there are several detailed images on file of the mechanical works including the engine rebore. The handbrake cable was changed, clutch replaced, the petrol tank was fully refurbished and flushed. The interior was also fully and expertly retimed in green piped cream along with the complete door card set & all interior trim was renewed, including the green sunroof & roof frame. All other items of interior trim were refurbished or replaced as required. The correct aluminium surrounds were machine polished, all rubber items were replaced as required. New steering components. New bushes, struts, a complete brake system replacement, rebuilt starter motor & a new exhaust & brackets, in fact every mechanical item was either refurbished or replaced.
The bumpers, brackets & over riders were replaced with Italian quality parts, the original steel wheels fully shot blasted & painted & shod with new premium tyres. The car was fully painted whilst stripped to bare shell (Inside & out) at this time in the beautiful shade of that you see today of Verde Oasi (Fiat Code 383). The cockpit, boot void & engine bay were also fully painted in the body colour. The original floors were painted in black stone chip to finish the process.
This truly impressive example is just showing just 68,118 KMs believed correct from new but only circa 1,850 KM's since the restoration!
We saw this stunning example at a Fiat 500 club event in Cosenza over a year ago & after a long chat with Salvo left our details. We got a call a couple of months ago & began the process of negotiation to purchase. Not an easy task but a mutually acceptable deal was finally struck & the car was transported to our shores.
Since being in our possession, we have been meticulous in our further preparation prior to offering this exceptional example to the market by undertaking the following works: Repainted the wheels in the correct factory silver finish & fitted 4 new tyres, a set of new white wall spats & correct D hub caps. A new premium Varta battery & new front moustache. Fitted the correct D engine decal set, soft top hold back belt, spare tyre strap, jack straps, engine cover plate, windscreen wiper blades, premium Italian front & rear bumpers & bumper bolts, premium white heat shield pad. 2 chrome wing mirrors, adjusted the steering geometry, fitted a new speedo drive to get the speedo working accurately, supplied a fresh MOT and conducted a multipoint check, replaced the fuel with £25 of new super unleaded, tuned & cleaned the carb, set the timing. Adjusted & cleaned the brakes & given the cheeky little chap a full service (plugs, fuel filter, air filter, oil etc.) just to be sure! Fitted a new boot mat & 500 Key ring along with an ACI club sticker, it even has fitted a new period luggage rack & period picnic hamper. We also conducted a full 3M paintwork rejuvenation process & a final coat of Swissvax to complete. The car is on the button & ready to go & show or just enjoy…
We have just completed this stunning vehicles first UK MOT & it is ready to UK register if required or can be exported with the Italian log book worldwide.
The history file contains the Italian log book, ASI Gold plaque, ASI certificate noting vehicles details & ASI certificate signed by Il Presidente. UK MOT & invoice from Ricambio International Ltd. The file also contains pictures of the cars restoration & inside Salvatore's beautiful home garage.
This is one of the most honest 500D's we have offered & better than my own example. It looks & feels period correct & well restored. As the restorer had excellent Fiat 500 knowledge & understanding of the correct parts & original detailing, this example is in an exceptional state.
The car looks pretty much 'as new' & is no doubt as good as when it left the factory in 1964. It has been correctly restored by people who know the marquee. This is a collector's opportunity and a superb investment and has only driven a low number of KMS since its restoration & hence this cheeky chappy is being offered for sale for the first time on our shores.
Fiat Verde Oasi (Fiat 383) – Green paintwork with a green fabric piped cream interior, including matching door cards & a green full length green convertible sunshine roof, with matching 500D belt to hold back & associated clips.
Fresh MOT with NO advisories, but MOT exempt in the UK.
Free historic road tax. (Tax exempt in the UK).
Keys on a Fiat key ring, correct original 500D jack, brace, spare wheel with tyre.
Period boot rack with new wicker hamper basket for 4 persons.
Please also note: The Italian number plate shown is for illustrative purposes only & does not come with the vehicle – The original Italian number plate read 'CS 40616'
These models are ever increasing in value & are a great investment. Our Fiats come recommended by a leading authority on Fiats & parts specialists – Ricambio International Ltd. I actually have a light blue 1965 500D that makes up part of my own private collection & everybody loves it! It always puts a smile on my face, plus you don't need to worry about the rising petrol prices – Just enjoy!
As we are a Mercedes Pagoda and R107 specialist we are always happy to part exchange one of these type of cars or indeed any classic car of excellent quality, so please don't miss this most fastidious example of the iconic Fiat 500D. This vehicle is exceptional value, try & find another as original & tax exempt – Please remember 'you get what you pay for'. Our cars are handpicked by a marquee expert & we turn down 8 or 9 out of every 10 cars offered. The cars we sell, are we believe the best of their type & are here to be viewed & driven in the UK. This takes the gamble out of buying a car direct from Europe sight unseen. Our stock comes fully de-registered from the country of origin with the ACI fee paid, UK MOT'd, test driven, serviced & detailed. Don't confuse them with other cars on the internet which have had dubious restorations & are offered with a low asking price. We have had 2 clients bring such cars to us recently bought direct from Italy & both were severe MOT failures with a list of faults ranging from no reverse gear to an undercarriage that requires total replacement. You have been warned! There is always a reason why a car is being sold cheaply! Again 'you get what you pay for'…
This vehicle is we believe the best in Europe don't settle and ensure you view this stunning example…
More photos available upon request, PX always considered.

Published in the Montreal Gazette on July 2, 2014
Here we go again.
Just when some of us were beginning to think that the city's historic place names were at last safe from the longing hands of local politicians, Mayor Denis Coderre unwisely resurrects the idea of re-naming a street after late Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa ("Coderre plans to honour Bourassa with street named after former premier", Gazette, Thursday, June 26, 2014).
What concerns me the most about Coderre's decision (as reported in the Gazette) to pursue this goal is his words, "If we have done it for others, we should do so for him."
I would presume "by others" that His Worship is most likely referring to René Lévesque and the unfortunate 1987 saga of changing the name of Dorchester Boulevard to that of another late premier for whom part of the population (and another sitting mayor) had a great fondness.
When Mayor Gérald Tremblay single handedly selected Bleury Street and Park Avenue to be altered to commemorate the life of Robert Bourassa, he was quick to reject any other proposal. In effect, he stubbornly argued that the chosen thoroughfare had to be equal in importance to that picked to pay homage to Mr. Lévesque. In that regard, I would think that Mayor Coderre is thinking the same way.
So we can forget about the possibility that the city administration is looking at a minor road – let's say Adam Street in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve – to name after the late premier. For legacy purposes, it must be as significant as the former Dorchester Boulevard was when it was 'rebaptized' 27 years ago.
When Coderre asserts that Robert Bourassa was "one of our greatest premiers", I respectfully suggest that this evaluation might be the result of the mayor's own political bias, just as former Mayor Jean Doré was partial in favour of Lévesque for the latter two shared a similar way of thinking on the great issues of the day – particularly Quebec independence. It's always best that politicians leave historical evaluations to historians while they focus more on their own administrative responsibilities.
In short, historic Montreal toponymy should not be within the reach of the opinionated preferences of transitory politicians.
The changing of street names, which is all too frequent in this town, has become a partisan game with each new mayor wanting to honour his own political mentor. I would remind Mayor Coderre that there is already a Bibliothèque Robert Bourassa in Outremont, which is now a borough of the City of Montreal. It strikes me that having a library named after oneself is a great honour in itself.
If, however, Denis Coderre were serious about this question, I would recommend that he find another way to pay tribute to the wonderful human being that was undoubtedly Robert Bourassa. Creating something new, rather than extinguishing something that is old, should be the road to go in this regard.
For instance, I have often thought that the new French language super hospital might appropriately be dubbed 'CHUM Robert Bourassa', to mark the late premier's pivotal role, along with that of Claude Castonguay, in bringing Quebec into the federal medicare scheme in 1970. Surely Mayor Coderre, with his Liberal connections in Quebec City, could bring that about.
Be all that as it may, the altering of celebrated municipal toponymy causes offense to our past and is a great inconvenience to those who live on the targeted thoroughfare. It is also an unnecessary expense undertaken at a time when a good number of cities are struggling to make ends meet. It is for these reasons that most municipalities do all in their power to avoid such actions.
I am very much afraid that should Mayor Coderre proceed any further with this idea, no matter how hard he tries, he will create unpleasant division within the population and, ultimately, like Gérald Tremblay, abandon the ill-conceived idea altogether.

When we talk about movies that come out in the summer, we are usually talking about HUGE movies; blockbusters, with special effects out the yang, fast food tie-ins, and, more often than not, a screenplay that is several shades stupider than it really needs to be. And I'm FINE with that. I like those kinds of movies. For example, Transformers 4: Age of Extinction opened this weekend. I will probably see Transformers 4: Age of Extinction because I am a big fan of watching robots fight each other, and when said robots TURN INTO DINOSAURS FOR SOME REASON… well shit, I'm only human.
But we're not here to talk about aggressively loud and dumb blockbusters today (though again, those kind of movies are OKAY; I am no advocate for change). We are here to talk about the OTHER kind of movie that comes out in the summer… the counter-programming to the fighting robots, fighting superheros, and fighting 50's doo-wop groups that exists because occasionally you want to be entertained by something that wasn't created solely as a means to sell action figures. Specifically, we are here to talk about Obvious Child, a movie that is the exact opposite of Transformers 4 in every conceivable way. It is showing, hopefully, at an art-house cinema somewhere near you, and you really need to go throw your money at it. And make your friends throw their money at it too. MAKE IT RAIN on Obvious Child. Because Obvious Child isn't just a great movie (though it IS that, big time). It is the very essence of independent cinema.
These are the three things that you need to know about Obvious Child:
Obvious Child is about abortion, but it isn't an ABORTION MOVIE -Plainly put, this is a movie about a woman who… after getting pregnant from a drunken, one-night stand… decides to have an abortion, and is okay with that decision. The decision itself is at no point in question during the course of the movie, and… though it is what drives the engine of the plot… the act of this woman getting an abortion is kind of beside the point. Now… I will concede that not everyone will be entirely comfortable with that idea. As far as hot-button issues go, abortion is one that, when pushed, can launch nuclear bombs. There are going to be those that will not care for seeing such a weighty, divisive topic handled… not lightly, per se… but with heaping handfuls of comedy and good-nature. "It's about abortion! There should be weeping! Wailing! Gnashing of teething, and maybe a little rending of garments for good measure!" If that is what you're looking for, then Obvious Child is maybe not the movie for you. Although, I think you should watch it anyway… different points of view are a good thing. An enriching thing, even. So just be cool… just everybody be cool.
Obvious Child is devastatingly funny – I am about to make a big, bold statement, but… hell, this is my website, and if you can't be bold in your own house, why even bother HAVING a house. You might as well live in a puddle. Anyway, here goes: Obvious Child is the funniest movie of the year. Period. I just don't see anything out there that's going to beat it. Now, granted, I haven't seen EVERY comedy that's been released since January, nor will I see every comedy that gets released before the end of December. But… call it a gut feeling, or a hunch, or, screw it, call it a ROCK-HARD FACT. You are not going to find a funnier movie than Obvious Child in 2014. And now that I have made this big, bold statement… because I am a inherently a worrier at heart… I feel like I am dangerously close to overselling Obvious Child, which would be doing the film a major disservice. But whatever; you need to learn to manage your own expectations, anyway. Consider this an object lesson in doing that. Because I really believe in that big, bold statement… Obvious Child is simply hysterical. It is funny in a vital, honest way that I haven't seen on the big screen in a long, long time.
Obvious Child SHOULD make Jenny Slate a very big star – Jenny Slate is a comedian who mostly does stand-up, but who also has a decent side career going appearing in small roles on popular TV shows. Bob's Burgers, Parks & Rec, The Kroll Show… she's been around, but never the main event. Obvious Child is going to change that. Or at least it SHOULD. Sometimes the world just doesn't recognize a talented entity, because the world isn't a fair and just place. And it would be PARTICULARLY unfair in this case, because the performance that Jenny Slate gives in Obvious Child is as textbook a definition of the term "career-maker" as there has ever been. Slate is electric in Obvious Child. Hers is a performance that is completely, refreshingly free of actor-ish pretense, and one that crackles with energy and life. Watching Slate in Obvious Child makes you want to watch her in everything else, forever. If the world proves itself once again to be that unfair, unjust place, and she never really makes an impact on the larger world of cinema… it will be a fucking shame wrapped in a miserable bummer shrouded in lameness. And it will also be the world of cinema's loss.
Now, to wrap this thing up, I feel like I need to justify something I said earlier, that Obvious Child is the essence of independent cinema. When I wrote that, I hadn't really thought out exactly what I meant by it. It sure SOUNDED good… real film critic-y… so I patted myself on the back for being quite the insightful lil' wordsmith, and then I moved on. But, pulled directly from my butt or not, the statement isn't without truth. "Independent cinema" is a catch-all phrase that generally means, "movies with small budgets that aren't about fighting robots." But what the phrase REALLY means is, "movies that are small, but powerful, and mostly about humans that could be real, but it just so happens that they aren't." That is Obvious Child, to the letter. It isn't a huge, epic film… it makes you feel real feelings (joy, heartache, delight… all the good ones)… and everyone in it SEEMS like they exist in the real world, even if they actually don't. Obvious Child IS independent cinema, and all that it strives to be, boiled down into a tight, 90 minute package.
So, again… I'm not saying you should skip the Summer Blockbusters. I would never try to take dino-bots away from you (or from me, for that matter). I'm just saying that you should ALSO make a little room in your schedule to take in a screening of Obvious Child. It is most definitely worth your valuable time.
