FORMER L.A. GUNS GUITARIST MICHAEL GRANT DISCUSSES HIS NEW ALBUM, “ALWAYS THE VILLAIN” AND HIS DEPARTURE FROM THE BAND STATING, “I GOT THE SENSE THAT THERE WERE THESE JEALOUS INSTANCES”
Ruben Mosqueda of Sleaze Roxx spoke with former L.A. Guns guitarist Michael Grant about his new album, Always The Villain, due out July 10th on Frontiers Records. Highlights from the interview appear below.
Sleaze Roxx: I was listening to Eddie Trunk’s show. It must have been two years ago now. You premiered a song. You had just parted with L.A. Guns. You were gearing up to get your band launched. Why has it taken this much time?
Michael Grant: It was two years ago, you’re right. At the time, I was still shopping for a label. It was a pretty tumultuous and life changing time for me, after breaking it off with L.A. Guns. It was a tough time [as] I had to move, a break-up and a bunch of other stuff happening at the same time. I didn’t have a label and when I did find one, the negotiation of a contract happened at a very slow pace. All of these things resulted in the delay of the album. There was a moment where I lost inspiration, but then I found it again, then I banged it out.
Sleaze Roxx: In the past two years, I imagine you’ve written and recorded songs that you’ve added and subtracted from the vision of what ultimately would make the album. You must have a wealth of tunes in the archives.
Michael Grant: Absolutely. There’s a nice catalog of songs archived from these songwriting sessions. There’s a chance I might revisit a song or two from these sessions, but I’m a huge fan of writing for the now. If I run out of inspiration, I might dig into those archives at some point. Generally, I keep the creativity flowing and keep it in the now.
Sleaze Roxx: You played on the pool stage on the 2019 Monsters of Rock Cruise. How was that for you? You had Jimmy D’Anda of the BulletBoys on drums for that.
Michael Grant: Right, the night before the cruise some things changed and Jimmy graciously offered to play with us and we had one rehearsal before the cruise set sail. I think we had about 90 minutes of rehearsal. We were excited, but definitely a little anxious because we only had one rehearsal. Jimmy displayed the highest level of professionalism and don’t tell him this but he actually made us sound better [laughs]!
Sleaze Roxx: I think it’s safe to say that most of [the band members of] L.A. Guns were disappointed when you parted ways with the band.
Michael Grant: Thanks. Thinking back now, I think it was time. The truth is I think regardless of whether it happened then or now, it was going to be the outcome. The way certain members of the band decided to handle the situation wasn’t cool. In the grand scheme of things, it had to happen. Unfortunately, it happened the way that it did.
Sleaze Roxx: Did you have some fair warning that it was coming or were your sideswiped by it all?
Michael Grant: I had an internal fair warning. I felt it. I got the sense that there were these jealous instances. Things started to escalate. I could feel the jealousy. It was like a ticking time bomb. Toward the end, I just didn’t give a f–k anymore. There was just some weirdness between other members and I. There were things that would displease certain members and I just didn’t care anymore. When you’re constantly getting muted and turned down, it’s time to do your own thing. Even me doing my own thing was too threatening in the end.
Sleaze Roxx: When you performed [Prince’s] Purple Rain with L.A. Guns, it was well received and became a highlight of the show. How did that originally get added to the set?
Michael Grant: I’m a huge Prince fan, especially Purple Rain. That was one of those albums that changed my life. At the time, Prince had just died and the O.G.’s [Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis] of L.A. Guns decided they needed to take a break during the set so they could make some costume changes, grab a drink or smoke or whatever. It was meant to be a filler during the set, while the guys took a break. The first night I did, it was so well received. I recall there were people shouting it at the top of their lungs from the balcony. We did that a few times but over time, it became a staple in the set, which some [in the band] people hated, but it was one of those things that I didn’t want to do in the first place. I was asked to fill five to seven minutes in the set and it was even suggested that I could do an Endeverafter song, but I didn’t want to do that. This isn’t Endeverafter, this was L.A. Guns. I don’t need that kind of tip of that hat cutting into your legacy. Purple Rain was perfect because I wanted to honor him, it took off and it ultimately resulted in my departure from L.A. Guns.
Sleaze Roxx: So it stirred up some resentment, because it was meant as a filler and it grew legs?
Michael Grant: That s–t tousled all the feathers. Are you kidding me? That tousled all the feathers. When you watch the videos and we did that, there’s some band members that just couldn’t take that.
Sleaze Roxx: You came on board on The Missing Peace. How did you get approached about that?
Michael Grant: Tracii [Guns] said they were going to release new music together around the same time that I joined the band. I was asked if I had any song ideas to contribute for this new album that they were talking about releasing. I wrote Don’t Bring A Knife To A Gunfight and The Devil Made Me Do It, both made it on the album and The Devil Made Me Do It opened the show. That was an awesome experience. The recording of the album was us passing files amongst the band members, not old school in any way. It was really “piecey” or should I say “missing piecey” [laughs]?
Sleaze Roxx: As far as music from “The Assassins, is it incorrect to say that the music is modern punk meets power pop meets hard rock? I hear all of that on the album.
Michael Grant: I think you’re hitting it on the head. There’s elements of all of that and other stuff of course. It’s a culmination of all or a lot of my influences. I like to call it “voodoo stew” [laughs]! I didn’t want to create an album that was “one dimensional” and I think I achieved that.
Sleaze Roxx: What is the significance of the album title?
Michael Grant: At the time that the title was conceived, the L.A. Guns break-up had taken place. I was being portrayed as being this “monster” and there was all this negativity being said about me, via social media and in the press. That was so far off the mark, but when people have a platform like that, people listen and they get sold all this bulls–t. I was a victim of all of that bulls–t. I think that sparked the rebellious part in me because I was being attacked by inaccuracies. It was like “Okay, you want a villain? I’ll give the baddest villain that you’ve ever seen!” The title is all encompassing of where I was at that time and where those songs came from.

- I am having the following problem:
I have written an application and want to boot it from the internal flash instead
of programming the fpga from the SDK each time. In other words:
How do I replace the standard LED program with my own program when turning the power on?
Xapp 1053 suggests that I will have to use the Serial Flash, and that the Spartan-3A DSP 1800A
comes with Intel S33 Serial Flash (QH25F640S33).
Anyway, I have been following the instructions using indirect approach via IMPACT in xapp974.
I manage to write a prom file, but I cannot select the Flash mentioned abote, but the flash
I mentioned abote is not available.
What am I missing here? Or is the builtin hello world application not in SPI at all, and I have to go for BPI?
Or do I have to apply the direct programming approach?
Any help is very much appreciated
03-31-2011 02:03 AM
03-31-2011 06:36 AM
You might find the following thread helpful:
Avnet has instructions posted for programming the SPI Flash here
03-31-2011 07:31 AM
Thank you both for the information
I will try to summarize in the hope that I understand everything correctly.
a) Direct Approach
This approach is described in xapp1053. The problem with that was for the that my ISE13 has probably updated driver firmware that causes the xip util to fail.
Is that what iguo suggests? I have opened the webcase and I imagine that I might get an updated version of xapp1053
b) Indirect Approach
In general, the indirect approach via impact is not really well supported for the S33, and Xilinx will not be able to change this in the future. The only possibility here would be to try and replace the S33 with the M25. This is what Bryan suggests here:
Is that right? Please correct me if I am on the wrong track.
Thanks a lot again!

Josh Weise, a United States youth and Project Director of the “Adopt a Negotiator” project, calls to USA youth not to be discouraged by the lack of activity of their government on this front and to instead, mobilize at the local and state levels. He asks them not to lose sight of the bigger vision of national change, saying this will come out of the grassroots mobilization. He asks youth to make sure their efforts are adding to real change on the ground.

Rep. Collins will drop out of race following insider trading charges
Rep. Chris Collins, who represents the 27th congressional district in New York, has decied to suspend his campaign following his indictment for insider trading.
With Collins dropping out, several Republicans have already begun jostling for position to replace him. The problem in this heavily Republican district is that it is unclear if Collins' name can be removed from the ballot. GOP officials are looking at a few options, but New York law states that a candidate can only be replaced on the ballot if he dies, moves out of state, or is nominated for another office. Collins has a residence in Florida as well as DC, so it's possible that Republicans will opt for that route.
Republicans in the district were hardly enthused about Collins’ initial plan to stay on the ballot, and several potential replacement candidates began quickly gauging support. In the mix are State Sen. Pat Gallivan, a former Erie County sheriff, Assemblyman David DiPietro and David Bellavia, a talk radio host and Iraq War veteran who has run for Congress before.
“In a matter where the Republican incumbent is going to lose a race because of criminal allegations of this nature, integrity is a key requirement in the candidate model for his replacement,” said Michael Caputo, a GOP political consultant and former Trump campaign aide who lives in the district. "And New York 27 is blessed: we have a man of deep faith in David DiPietro, a former sheriff in Pat Gallivan and a Medal of honor nominee in David Bellavia.”
McMurray said he would like to see Collins resign his seat outright, and faulted GOP leaders who are about to select a new candidate for sticking by Collins — whose relationship with Innate Immunotherapeutics was the subject of House ethics inquiries long before criminal charges were filed.
“It helps Western New York because we won’t have someone like that who will embarrass us in Congress again,” McMurray said. "It would have been a travesty for him to go forward with his campaign. I don’t know who they’re going to run, but we’re going to win anyway.”
The charges against Collins might be brought against other politicians in Washington who have access to insider information on which company might get a contract, or even steer business toward cronies and then trade on the inside information. Yes, it's a cesspool of corruption and Collins is only the latest example of it.
No matter which Republican ends up running, this is likely a safe GOP seat. Donald Trump got nearly 70% of the vote in 2016 and Collins won 67%.

To estimate the incremental effects of transitions in electronic health record (EHR) system capabilities on hospital process quality.
Hospital Compare (process quality), Health Information and Management Systems Society Analytics (EHR use), and Inpatient Prospective Payment System (hospital characteristics) for 2006–2010.
Hospital EHR systems were categorized into five levels (Level_0 to Level_4) based on use of eight clinical applications. Level_3 systems can meet 2011 EHR “meaningful use” objectives. Process quality was measured as composite scores on a 100-point scale for heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and surgical care infection prevention. Statistical analyses were conducted using fixed effects linear panel regression model for all hospitals, hospitals stratified on condition-specific baseline quality, and for large hospitals.
Among all hospitals, implementing Level_3 systems yielded an incremental 0.35–0.49 percentage point increase in quality (over Level_2) across three conditions. Hospitals in bottom quartile of baseline quality increased 1.16–1.61 percentage points across three conditions for reaching Level_3. However, transitioning to Level_4 yielded an incremental decrease of 0.90–1.0 points for three conditions among all hospitals and 0.65–1.78 for bottom quartile hospitals.
Hospitals transitioning to EHR systems capable of meeting 2011 meaningful use objectives improved process quality, and lower quality hospitals experienced even higher gains. However, hospitals that transitioned to more advanced systems saw quality declines.

Carol-anne Gainer at the Bell-Roberts
by Linda Stupart
1. showing the wearing effects of overwork or care or suffering; 'looking careworn as she bent over her mending'; 'her face was drawn and haggard from sleeplessness'; 'that raddled but still noble face'; 'shocked to see the worn look of his handsome young face'- Charles Dickens [syn: careworn]
2. having the curtains or draperies closed or pulled shut; 'the drawn draperies kept direct sunlight from fading the rug'
The very word 'drawn', as defined above, suggests a tragic withdrawal, a closing of interior space, but it also has connotations of action, of the violent male-defined movement of 'drawing a sword' for example, to pull out (as from a well), or to drag or force in a direction. It is these seemingly contrasting notions of public and private, frailty and violence, and longing and fear that permeate Carol-anne Gainer's 'Drawn'.
Gainer's show negotiates the pathos of nostalgia, unease of the domestic and the violence of the everyday with a re-occurrence of her air vents, complimented by asurprisingly pretty series of prints, nickel-plated childhood mementos, intense drawings and videos of destruction.
The exhibition opens with a corridor of super-slick digital prints of ceramic animal figurines that typify 'Sweet Kitsch', an aesthetically and morally abhorrent genre of commodified sentimentality. Though these images form a backdrop from which the rest of the show steps forward, I find the lack of criticality within these images themselves troubling. This neat series of cutesy ceramics on grey or white background have a familiarity that comes with current notions of nostalgia and thus, I feel, are very easily overlooked as yet another trendy magazine spread. This disappointment struck me particularly as I wondered what these highly evocative objects gained from their photographic mediation: are they revered here, made alien, or set up as fine art objects? Why not exhibit the objects themselves? The coolness of these images, both in terms of their trendiness and cold neutrality, leaves them short of the mark for me.
Similarly disappointing, as singular works, were some of the nickel- and bronze-plated toys and decorations. In particular I found that Birds, a series of very beautiful nickel-plated decorative birds mounted on a wall, detracts from the show's strengths. The oxidation of the sculptures and their awkward, rough finish suggests an aging, overuse and a burial that lends the objects a sadness and disquietude (the latter gleaned largely from the reference to the Alfred Hitchcock movie). Despite their pathos, however, this very pretty work, which took up a large section of wall, fell too squarely into a well established Cape Town art and design thematic to have any impact on my Cape Town art and design sensibilities. Visions of last summer's Long Street fashion prints, whatiftheworld's Neighbourgoods Market and bad Gina Waldman works inevitably arose.
A nickel-plated piece that fares better is the Elephant that serves in part as poignant memorial to the toy elephant in the Blue Elly video work. The latter was the highlight of the show for me. Here we see a plastic elephant toy being murderously flung against a wall, all in excruciating slow motion that suggests, more than a child's temper tantrum, a calculated methodical destruction. As the fragility of the toy elephant is exposed through his (presumably his, it is blue) destruction so is the tenuousness of the innocence, domesticity and safety that he represents.
This seemingly minor act of violence comes to represent not only the actual acts of violence that are often perpetuated against the young and innocent, but also suggests that innocence itself is an adult construct that, perhaps, was never really endemic to childhood at all. Certainly the work critiques that ever disappointing looking back of nostalgia, literally shattering what appears to be a hard worn, much handled and over-loved toy.
Blue Elly, as well as other pieces such as the bronze-plated Ribbon, Vent and the obsessive drawing of repeating text, More than A Dozen Times overpower the banality of some of the other pieces, and provide the exhibition with a thread that is both violent and disturbing, though never explicitly so.
Vent with its black velvet and satin seems to seal the domestic interior like a coffin. The piece is a testament to the claustrophobia that often envelops the home environment where those inside are suffocated, with love or fear, until they are unable to leave this space behind. Ribbon threatens to cut the seamstress or schoolgirl as she ties a bow, but, with the use of bronze, also memorialises their positions in the home, while Gainer's frantic drawings are stuck between the urge to faithfully reproduce and to just get away.
Despite my earlier criticisms then, 'Drawn' exists as a cohesive and sometimes arresting show. My disappointment in some of the works however, is one that I often throw at exhibitions: too pretty, too easy. A label that is certainly overly critical in the case of 'Drawn' but resides in a sentence that I wrote in a review of Gainer's 2005 show in the same gallery: 'Sure, there are a lot of young trendy women artists engaging in gender issues through pretty, amicable nostalgia, but a woman peeing on paper is something else altogether'. Now, although I am aware that, of course, nostalgia, territory and all sorts of feminist concerns are intrinsically linked, I had hoped that Gainer would produce work that was explicitly, or even implicitly, unsettling on some level, instead of approaching a sameness that handicaps the work, rendering it, at times, just too easy to overlook.

The Egyptian intelligence service has celebrated its anniversary for the first time in its history by screening a special documentary about the organisation.
The documentary, aired on Tuesday, was promoted by an extensive advertising campaign, which even reached billboards around Cairo.
The one-hour documentary, A Nation's Word, focused on the organisation's history since 1954 as well the history of the region since 1948.
There was a quick history of the Israeli occupation of the Sinai Peninsula and how the service was founded after the coup that brought Gamal Abdel-Nasser to power in 1952.
Successful operations against Israel by Rafaat El-Hagan and Gomaa El-Shawn were highlighted, as was the arrest of enemy spies, such as during the Lavon affair.
Successful anti-terrorist operations, such as the arrest of a terrorist cell that attempted to blow up a Nile cruise boat, were also praised.
Dr Mohamed Moghad El-Ziyat, the head of the National Centre for Middle East Studies, told state news agency MENA that broadcasting the documentary was not only to celebrate the service's 57th birthday, it was also to present the real history and value of the organisation to the Egyptian people.
“The foreign ministry and the intelligence service are working in parallel in the best interests of the country,” El-Ziyat told MENA, highlighting its work on the Palestinian issue and on relations with Nile Basin countries.
Dr Tarek Fahmy, head of the Israeli Studies unit at the National Centre for Middle East Studies, said it was notable that the documentary was produced by the intelligence service itself.
“It is important that the public know the role of the intelligence service from the organisation itself," Fahmy said.
Ambassador Mohamed Ibrahim Shaker, chairman of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs, stated: "The screening of this documentary came at a perfect time considering the huge political changes taking place in Egypt. It was important to introduce the role of the security apparatus, especially to show there are threats and challenges facing the country.”
The screening of the documentary comes after the controversy created by an advertising campaign warning Egyptians against speaking with foreigners and sharing information online for fear they would be recruited by foreign intelligence.

Read this guide carefully and make the final decision to unlock bootloader of your Ultra Storm .
Tweaking your Hyundai Ultra Storm ? The first step to start tweaking the Hyundai Ultra Storm is to unlock the Hyundai bootloader. You may need to root your device or install a custom rom, for everything you need to unlock the bootloader of Hyundai Ultra Storm .
Not every phone will allow you to unlock the bootloader. Some manufacturers will not allow you to unlock the bootloader officially for some security reasons.
In case, the unlocking facility of the bootloader is not provided by the manufacturer officially, then you may need to wait until the developer’s community finds a way to unlock the bootloader by unofficial methods.
In this article, we will check if it is possible to unlock the bootloader of your Hyundai Ultra Storm & the steps to unlock the bootloader of Hyundai.

What is a Bootloader and What is it for?
A Bootloader is one of the components that you can find in any operating system, both desktop, and mobile devices. Its mission is to do several checks before starting the operating system to make sure everything is correct, and it also gives the operating system the necessary instructions to start up.
Therefore, when you start a computer or smartphone, the Bootloader will first start to see that everything is in place. That is, the operating system components are there where they are supposed to be, and that everything can start correctly. And then it guides the operating system in what steps to take during the startup process.
For practical purposes and simplifying it so that it is easy to understand when you press the power button on your Hyundai Ultra Storm , it turns on. The Bootloader will be launched to load the operating system.
First, it checks the boot and recovery partitions, and if everything is correct, the operating system kernel runs to finish its initialization. And if something goes wrong, the user gets an error message explaining why the system could not start.
The bootloader can be locked or unlocked and is developed by the device manufacturer. In general, it is almost always locked, which means that it can only boot the partitions that have a digital signature from the manufacturer or operator of your mobile.
But some manufacturers also decide to give some freedom to users who buy their devices, and allow the Bootloader to be unlocked, something that in Android is usually done with a combination of keys when possible. Doing so opens the door to being able to install Custom ROMs, root your Hyundai Ultra Storm , and much more.
Why is it important to have the Bootloader unlocked in Hyundai Ultra Storm ?
As we have explained a little above, by keeping the bootloader locked on Hyundai Ultra Storm , the manufacturer makes sure that the operating system of your Hyundai Ultra Storm cannot be modified.
So if this is a security measure, why is it important to allow Bootloader unlock on Android?
One of the main features of Android is freedom. Users can not only use the features provided by the manufacturer but also can bring modifications to the operating system that is installed on it.
Android has a whole internal world with so-called custom ROMs, alternative versions that have not been developed by Google or the manufacturers, but by independent groups of developers.
With them, for example, updated versions of Android can be installed when the manufacturer has already decided to stop updating a mobile operating system.
Come on, if your mobile stayed on Android 8, you could use a custom ROM to install Android 10.
Disadvantages of unlocking Bootloader on Hyundai Ultra Storm
You have numerous advantages on unlocking the bootloader on Hyundai Ultra Storm . But also we have some disadvantages on unlocking the bootloader.
The main disadvantage is that you will lose the guarantee (but like any door, just like the Bootloader unlocked, in some cases, it can be locked again to recover the guarantee, so it is not such a strong disadvantage).
All the data on your device will be wiped while the bootloader unlocking process is carried out on Hyundai Ultra Storm .
As you’ll see, there are more advantages than disadvantages. Personally, what I like the most is being able to enjoy any custom ROM on Hyundai Ultra Storm .
Prerequisites before unlocking bootloader on Hyundai Ultra Storm
- If you have tried to unlock the bootloader earlier, then check if the bootloader is unlocked.
- Check if the bootloader is unlocked in Hyundai Ultra Storm using dial-pad.

It takes me around 5 hours to drive the 295 miles between our home in Minneapolis and our cottage outside of Watersmeet, Michigan. I’ve driven the route countless times. It’s a chore.
For years I’ve thought about making the trip in a different way. In a way that would turn that chore into a lasting memory.
On my bicycle.
This summer I finally did it. On Sunday, July 5th, as my family was packing up to head home after vacation, I waved goodbye and pedaled up the driveway on my loaded bicycle.* A bucket list trip was becoming reality.
Four days and 344 miles later, I rolled up my driveway in Minneapolis at around 9:45pm. Hot, exhausted and happy. It was a moment of pure joy that eludes most adults in their 50’s like me.
I almost chickened out. I’ve ridden a lot of miles on my bike, but my experience with self-contained bicycle touring—unsupported—is very limited. I did a three-day self-contained trip a few years ago with friends, but never a solo trip of this magnitude. As I packed up my bike panniers with gear, water and food, negative thoughts raced through my head. “I’m not in the greatest biking shape. What if I have a mechanical issue I can’t fix? Where am I even going to camp tonight?” Sometimes, it’s little things that push us forward. In this case, it was a little patch embroidered on the inside sleeve of the t-shirt I was wearing. It reads, “Day One or One Day?” I was sick of saying “one day.” Today would be Day One. I’m so glad I was wearing that shirt. The things that make us nervous, that push us, often result in the experiences that make a life well lived.
Choosing the best route home was easy. There is an organization called Adventure Cycling Association that publishes a network of bicycling routes that crisscross the country. And as luck would have it, their “North Lakes” route passes a few miles south of our cottage on its way to Minneapolis. The set of maps, which included turn by turn directions and identified grocery stores, restaurants and campgrounds, were a massive help. It would have been a far more difficult trip without them.
For several reasons, I needed to travel the 344 miles in four days—leaving on Sunday afternoon and sleeping in my bed in Minneapolis by Wednesday night. That’s 86 miles a day. As I settled into a strong pace my first twenty miles or so, the distance felt attainable. It was a very hot day, and I stopped a few times to dunk my head into one of the many beautiful lakes I passed.
Then the sky darkened. And I noticed that the cars coming towards me from the west had their lights on. Not a good sign. A few minutes later the storm hit. The next town, Boulder Junction, was about 8 miles away. I took shelter under a big oak tree and ate an energy bar, hoping it would pass quickly. It didn’t. My tree started to lose all of its water shedding properties. I realized that I was basically standing there in the rain, so I hopped back on my bike and rode into Boulder Junction, where I found a park shelter to hide under while I assessed the state of my gear. The day was slipping away and I wasn’t yet sure where to camp for the night.
Around 7:15pm, 56 miles in, I limped into a public campground on Big Lake, outside Manitowish Waters. Although soggy, I took a nice swim after setting up camp and enjoyed ramen noodles while a full moon rose. Not bad. I did regret bringing a very small sleeping pad, as my tent site was gravel. But I fell asleep without effort.
Day Two—No Wolves
The bumper sticker posted on the tavern door said “No Wolves.” I like wolves. They embody wildness and make the forest feel alive and complete—a fully functioning system rather than a game farm.
If I was driving my car I would have turned around. I don’t want to support or interact with No Wolves folks. But I was on my bike. And Day 2 of my trip was about to include another huge storm.
The morning started out great. I biked through the forest on a paved trail outside of Mercer, Wisconsin, as the sun sliced through the mist. Fully caffeinated after a breakfast over my camp stove, I felt alive and completely engaged in the present moment. The miles flew by. A few hours in, as the humid July heat cranked up, I stopped at a store for Ibuprofen, two bananas and a Gatorade. If my bike shorts didn’t give away my mode of travel that day, my purchase surely did.
Not long after that stop, on a long stretch of straight highway west of Turtle Flambeau Flowage, I noticed huge storms bubbling up on the western horizon. The storm closed rapidly, and the wind turned suddenly cold against my sweaty skin. With no structures in sight, I started looking for trees with water shedding properties again. “But aren’t tall trees and lightning good friends?”, my mind interjected. And just then, the Midway Bar appeared out of nowhere.
I tucked my bike into an open shed around the side of the tavern and hustled for the front door. After a moment’s hesitation, I went in; my desire to seek shelter from the impending deluge trumping that No Wolves greeting on the door.
I’m glad I did. The couple running the bar were gracious, letting me hang out until the storm had passed and offering to top up my water bottles while my bike sat in their shed and my phone powered up along the wall. I enjoyed my lunch conversation with the owner behind the bar, even though I didn’t agree with everything he said. As I biked away after the storm passed, it struck me how easy it is to avoid interacting with people with whom we disagree. It’s a shame, because I’m never going to change someone’s mind or better understand their perspective that way. By categorizing them and dismissing them before I even say hello. My guess is that the bar owner probably would have avoided me too, especially in my smelly bike clothes, but I hope we both left the conversation with a little better understanding of the other. It wouldn’t have happened if I had been safely ensconced in my car, barreling home in a hurry.
That’s part of the beauty of bike travel—it kicks us out of the isolated bubble in which many of us reside. On a bike, you become a traveler in the oldest sense of the word. You are vulnerable and may need to rely on the kindness of strangers, especially if you are new to self-supported cycling, like I am. And for some wonderful reason, pedaling a bicycle is disarming—most folks view you as a curiosity rather than a potential threat. As a result, opportunities to have positive interactions with people abound. A ride can restore your faith in humanity, or at least give you a needed dose of empathy.
Back on the bike, I started to consider where to camp that night. It was hard to plan ahead of time, because I wasn’t sure how far I’d make it each day. This uncertainty caused daily anxiety, but it also made the trip flow in a serendipitous way. Day two ended that way. After deciding to push past camping options around Clam Lake, I found a sweet little private campground on Ghost Lake outside of the Hayward area vacation megalopolis. The camp owners didn’t answer their phone, but eventually I roused them and they pointed me to an empty field of campsites up the hill and showed me a building where I could take a nice hot shower. Because of Covid, their restaurant was shut down, but I saw another food option on the Adventure Cycling map just down the road called Ghost Lake Lodge.
After setting up camp and taking a dip in the lake and a hot shower, I headed over to the Lodge, a beautiful old log cabin surrounded by a ring of guest cabins strung out along the lake shore. It was hard to climb back onto my bike after 88 miles that day—my rear end was not happy—but it was worth the trip. I found the Lodge empty, and waited at the bar for someone to appear for 10 minutes or so. The owners, an older couple, eventually appeared. They were a delight. The husband poured himself an old fashioned, something I could tell he had done many times. And the wife set about to getting me a beer, and then a pizza. Their kindness had a genuine, grandparent like nature to it. But as I sat out on the back deck watching the sun drop with a nice buzz and a full belly, the grumble of thunder broke in, again. The radar on my phone confirmed that another big storm had come calling.
As I hustled out the door to race back to my camp that was not ready for rain, the wife thanked me and told me that she would leave the lodge door open overnight, and that I was welcome to sleep inside if the storms got really bad. Yet another example of the magic interactions that happen when you are on a bike.
Day Three—Making Up the Miles
It was a rough start to the day. My body was not happy that I was contemplating getting back onto a bicycle, especially the parts that made contact with my bike seat. Swapping out my shorts on day two had quite literally rubbed me the wrong way. Even after a pot of coffee and a lot of oatmeal cooked up on my camp stove, I could tell it was going to be a hard start. And I had a lot of miles to make if I was going to be sleeping in my bed come Wednesday night.
Thankfully the energy returned to my body quickly once I rolled out of the campground around 9:15am. It might have been in part because of the beauty around me. A winding forest road. Mist rising again from the damp pavement in the morning sun. Stream crossings and the sound of rapids. A few deer, a brood of turkeys and ravens cawing from the woods. I took a deep breath and again felt so alive, and so lucky to be out here pedaling under my own power and feeling my body getting stronger. Every place except my butt, which was threatening to end the trip early.
As I rolled into the Hayward lakes area, the traffic picked up in volume and speed. The Adventure Cycling route was fantastic, but Hayward was my least favorite part. Especially as I cycled the narrow road around the Casino on the Lac Courte Oreille Indian Reservation, I found myself wondering whether the driver of the car about to overtake me was paying attention to me or their phone. I switched on my red blinking tail light, which always gives me a bit more comfort.
On day three the diversity of the Wisconsin landscape was on full display. I went by farm fields, deep forests, lake shores, and small towns, again and again. And I noticed all of it, every hill, every road surface, every change in the land, at my 14mph pace. Another steamy July day, I enjoyed a few stops to dunk my head in a lake or take a quick swim.
The day’s lunch stop was at the Chit Chat tavern in Edgewater, Wisconsin. The tavern was for sale. The owner/bartender had not had a day off in over two months, but you couldn’t tell it. My Coca-Cola and fish sandwich basket cost $9.15. I’m guessing there is not a lot of money to be made at the Chit Chat, but I’d recommend a stop.
Emerging from the dark, air-conditioned confines of the Chit Chat felt like entering a tropical rain forest. I love heat and humidity, but I could tell this mid-day heat was nothing to take lightly. I stopped at a little market in the tiny town (the only store) and bought two bananas, two Gatorades and a jar of Vaseline. All of them helped immensely.
I’ve done a lot of endurance type exercise, but it still amazes me how important food becomes to your body’s ability to carry on. I pulled into Edgewater dragging and worrying about whether I could make enough miles for the day, and I pedaled out feeling strong. But the heat was oppressive and the long open stretches around Haugen tested me. One stretch in particular is etched in my mind. It was a long straight country road without a tree in sight. Miles in the distance a huge hill rose up, waiting for me. That hill sucked, especially when a diesel pick up truck passed me and put his accelerator to the floor to welcome me to the neighborhood.
Reaching Haugen felt like an accomplishment. I popped into a little village market that felt like a scene from the 1950’s, complete with a tin ceiling, checker floor and tiny shelves. There was a wonderful, old couple running the place. The Greatest Generation. She was stocking. He was behind the ancient cash register. I think they would still be talking to me if I had stayed to continue the conversation. Sadly, he struggled to make change from the $50 bill I gave him. I immediately felt bad for calling out the miscalculation, as I could tell he was disappointed in himself. I wish I would have just considered it a tip to them and what appeared to be many, many years of hard work in that little store that used to be a bigger part of the community. It was a bittersweet moment to see a disappearing glimpse of the past, and I turned it over in my head for many miles. I hope they are still there when I do this trip again.
A few more strategic head dunks in lakes and a few more Gatorades later, I made it all the way into Cumberland, Wisconsin, and found a beautiful little public campground on a peninsula jutting out into the lake right in the middle of town. I was the only tent, again. I bought a couple of beers at a bar downtown and a sub sandwich and sat on the lake shore by my tent watching the sun set. There were loons calling and an osprey fishing. Serendipity. After Facetime calls to my Mom and Dad and Sarah, I turned in. 95 miles in the bag. It was a great day. I just might make it to Minneapolis tomorrow after all.
Day Four—Minivans and Heat Indexes
“What the hell is that guy doing?” I thought. I was on my second attempt to put some distance between myself and the city of Cumberland—the first attempt earlier that morning resulted in my retreat back to town to hide under an awning on Cumberland’s main street from another huge, angry storm. I’m used to cars flying by me, but in this case, I was gaining ground on a very old mini-van that was loaded with crap, hoarder style. The person driving said vehicle was creeping along around 10 mph in the left-hand lane of a two-lane highway with only the driver side tires slightly off the road. As I gained ground, the van started to climb up a very large hill—anyone coming over that hill from the opposite direction would meet this van head on. This was fast becoming a life or death scenario. Do I pedal like hell and catch up? Fall back and avoid being part of the carnage? I tried to catch up, but the car crested the hill before I did, and quickly took a right across the road and down a driveway. As I passed by, I think I saw a flat tire on the driver’s side. This idiot was driving on the opposite shoulder to save a tire rim. You blindly trust a lot of drivers when you are biking, so seeing this kind of calculus—I’ll save my tire rim and avoid having to get out of my car in exchange for the risk of a violent death—was not comforting. A few minutes later, a couple in a green pickup truck passed me. I saw the detail of their faces and thought about how lucky they were that morning that they hadn’t driven past a few minutes earlier. It’s easy to forget how fragile and seemingly random life can be.
The day got much better. After I passed the big storm and Mr. Minivan, the winds shifted around to provide a very strong tailwind. The first noticeable tailwind of the trip. The wind pushed me and my wide panniers along the open country road and I powered up to my biggest gear. The speed became almost effortless. It was a gift on what I knew was going to be a very long and hot day. I’m pretty sure I might have spontaneously yelled “yes!” a few times on that stretch of road. When was the last time you shouted out in joy? Another example of the wonders of biking.
The speed induced joy didn’t last. The effects of the storm moved on, the wind shifted back around, and the sun returned to deliver the heat index warnings that were forecast. I started to search the map for lakes and temporary relief. But instead of heatstroke, I discovered something else on day four—our human bodies are amazing. We can beat them up, push them to failure, exhaust our reserves, but they eventually respond. I had pushed through the dead legs and sore butt of the first few days and now my body was starting to toughen up. My legs felt strong and capable. Blisters turned to callouses. What a blessing it is to push yourself and find enough toughness to meet the challenge. What a feeling! Those moments provide a whiff of invincibility and confidence that I have used to plug into so many other parts of my life. And you can too. I’m not a great athlete or a natural on the bike—my calves are so skinny that my family makes fun of them. But on day four, I felt strong and the well inside of me felt deep. The dance between mind and body that plays out in endurance activities has been life changing for me.
Strong legs or not, it was hot. The hottest day of July, in fact. I stopped at few gas stations to slug Gatorade in the icy AC, and the miles ticked by. I had over 100 to make, and as I reached the St. Croix river valley and the border into Minnesota, I became confident that, heat or not, I would finish the trip that day.
Maybe I got a little too confident, because not long after the cycling gods brought me back to reality with my only crash of the trip. I was biking through a highway underpass tunnel that had stagnant, standing water on the far end of it. I hit the water, and in an instant the slimy pavement turned as slippery as ice and I was down in a heap, struggling to unclip and crawl out from under my bike. Thankfully the damage was cosmetic, and off I went, with the benefit of having soaked half my shorts and shirt in stinky, but cooling, water.
Crossing Highway 35 south of St. Croix Falls, I started my descent into the river valley on, you guessed it, River Road. It was the greatest segment of the trip. Starting on a ridge line high above the river, I felt like I was dropping into a ski run. With big descents and sweeping turns, the road winds beautifully through the forest and seems to go on forever. It was shaded, it was cool, it was exhilarating. If it was an amusement park ride, I would have paid to do it again, and again. But it wasn’t a ride, and all of that descent had to be clawed back in less than a mile on the other side of the Hwy 243 bridge into Minnesota.
The invincibility I felt earlier in the day was fading, but crossing into Minnesota helped. Especially after I reached the town of Scandia and joined up with a route I’ve done on long weekend rides. I was back on home territory and no longer needed a map. Thankfully, this home stretch was made easier when my friend Pat Dockry joined me to bike the last 25 miles or so to my house. Pat provided a huge mental lift and it was great to have him along.
And then it was almost over. We crossed the Mississippi River as the sun set over the city. I couldn’t stop smiling. In the darkness I rolled onto my street and then into my driveway; Sarah and the dogs were outside waiting for us. 107 miles. A state of joyful exhaustion washed over me. A feeling you can’t get without a lot of hard effort.
After pizza, beer and a shower, I lay in my bed that night drifting off to sleep. In my mind’s eye, I rolled back across the distance I had covered the past four days, envisioning the roads and towns, lakes and forests, and fields and farms in between here and there in a completely new way. The opportunity to earn that distance under my own power, and really experience it on a human scale and at a human pace was a gift. Unlike my car trips, I’ll never forget it.
I can’t wait to do it again next year.
*Thanks for reading. I’d love to to answer any questions you may have about the route, gear, bike or other logistics.

Rising salaries for players, a sharp decline in attendance and lingering issues with their Nationwide Arena lease have the Blue Jackets projecting losses of approximately $25 million for the 2010-11 season, an NHL source told The Dispatch yesterday.
The club's financial distress has been known for two years, but this season's projected losses - despite $12 million to $13 million in revenue sharing expected from the NHL this summer - represent a staggering increase. The Jackets lost roughly $14 million in each of the previous two seasons.
The deeper losses come at a time when two NHL franchises - in Phoenix and Atlanta - seem on the verge of relocation. It's possible one of those franchises could move to Winnipeg, Manitoba, before next season.
The NHL source said Columbus shouldn't be "part of that conversation with Atlanta and Phoenix yet. But they need a solution, and quick."
Blue Jackets President Mike Priest would not comment on the team's future in Columbus except to say: "(Majority owner) John P. McConnell is committed to winning and building the best franchise, and he's committed to finding a resolution."
The Blue Jackets finished their 10th NHL season early last month, missing the playoffs for the second straight season and ninth time altogether.
It was an even worse season off the ice, with four main factors contributing to the huge losses.
• Player payroll: The Blue Jackets spent roughly $52.4million on players' salaries this season, a franchise high and an increase of approximately $4.5 million from 2009-10.
• Attendance: The Jackets averaged 13,350 fans in Nationwide Arena this season, an average of 2,067 per game fewer than in 2009-10 and by far a franchise low. Based on average ticket sales, that's a $4.1 million loss from previous seasons. Fewer fans mean less money from concessions and merchandise sales, and many of the seats left unfilled were the most expensive. That $4.1 million figure could be much higher.
• Less revenue sharing: Because the Blue Jackets didn't average 14,000 fans per game and didn't match the NHL's revenue growth rate, they will lose 25 percent of their revenue-sharing check from the NHL. It would have been $16 million, perhaps more. Now they anticipate $12 million to $13 million.
• Arena lease: The Blue Jackets have been trying for at least two years to find a solution to a lease they say is out of line with others in pro sports. The Blue Jackets do not get parking revenue, naming rights revenue or some luxury box revenue per their agreement with Nationwide. They claim losses of $12 million per season because of these shortcomings.
Priest has led the search for a lease remedy but said there has been little movement in recent months. The possibility of tax money coming from a proposed casino on the West Side is being stalled by litigation.
Despite the losses, Priest said general manager Scott Howson is under no orders to cut payroll, an NHL club's highest expenditure.
The Blue Jackets have $38million committed in player salaries for next season but have several free agents without contracts, players whose spots on the roster will need to be filled. The NHL salary floor likely will be in the neighborhood of $46.5 million next season, but the Blue Jackets likely will be well above the floor, as they were this season.
"All of the talk at the ownership and management level is about getting better," Priest said. "We don't know what (Howson) will have to present to us this summer, as far as trades or signings he'll be able to make happen.
"But the edict is very clear from above - we want to get better. We want to compete. I don't imagine our payroll is going down."
The Blue Jackets have lost at least $80 million over the six seasons since the NHL lockout. That's the price - $80 million - that late majority owner John H. McConnell paid to buy an expansion franchise from the NHL in the late 1990s.
Forbes magazine valued the franchise at $153 million this season, ranking it 25th in the 30-team NHL.

Some Results of a New Magnetotelluric Survey in the Area of the Polish Outer Carpathians
Michał Stefaniuk, 2006. "Some Results of a New Magnetotelluric Survey in the Area of the Polish Outer Carpathians", The Carpathians and Their Foreland: Geology and Hydrocarbon Resources, Jan Golonka, Frank J. Picha
Download citation file:
In 1998, the Geophysical Exploration Company and the State Geological Institute of Poland started broad-scale magnetotelluric (MT) investigation in the Polish Carpathians. The measurements were made with the use of the MT-1 system designed and produced by Electromagnetic Instruments, Inc., over a frequency range of 300-0.0005 Hz, with remote magnetic reference applied. The results of data interpretation provided new elements in the recognition of the structure of the flysch orogen and its basement and confirmed earlier interpretation of the roof of the high-resistivity horizon.
A considerable resistivity differentiation was observed in the Mesozoic, Paleozoic, and Precambrian formations in the northern part of the cross sections, where the high-resistivity platform-type basement occurs beneath the autochthonous Miocene sediments. The zone of low-resistivity rocks occurs in the Outer Western Carpathians. The great differences in resistivity distribution are observed in the deep basement along the general axis of the flysch orogen in the southern part of the study area. The results along two MT sections and from three detail areas are presented. The general features of the Carpathian basement interpreted from MT sounding data are different for the eastern and the western part of the study area. Low-resistivity complex and overthrust zones are characteristic of the eastern part of the area. The geological identification of the low-resistivity layer is still not clear.
Figures & Tables
The Carpathians and Their Foreland: Geology and Hydrocarbon Resources
This volume of 30 chapters authored by 107 geologists and geophysicists from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the USA provides a comprehensive and understandable account of geology and hydrocarbon resources of the entire Carpathian system from northeastern Austria to southern Romania, including the Neogene foredeep, the foreland platform both in front and beneath the thrust belt, the Carpathian thrust belt, and the late and post orogenic intermontane basins. Principal chapters on regional geology are supplemented by thematic contributions on geodynamic reconstructions, regional geophysical investigations, hydrocarbon systems, and case studies of major oil and gas fields. To date, close to 7 billion barrels of oil and more than 53 trillion cubic feet of natural gas have been produced from the entire Carpathian system. Additional new reserves may be found, especially at deeper structural levels below the Neogene foredeep and the thin-skinned Carpathian thrust belt. Seventeen chapters of Memoir 84 have been printed in full. The remaining chapters have been printed as abstracts only, with the full paper for all 30 chapters as .pdf files on the CD-ROM in the back of this publication. The publication is intended as a source of information to schools, governmental and private institutions, oil companies, and potential investors.

Korean boyband BTS have announced that they will be taking an extended break.
The K-pop supergroup, who have been conquering charts and performing in concerts for six years, will be on hiatus and taking time to rest.
Management for the group released a statement alerting fans of the news.
“We would like to announce that for the first time since their debut, BTS will be going on an official and extended period of rest and relaxation. Today’s Lotte Duty Free Family Concert performance will be the last scheduled event before members prepare to take their vacations,” the statement read.
“This period of rest will be an opportunity for the members of BTS, who have relentlessly driven themselves towards their goal since their debut, to recharge and prepare to present themselves anew as musicians and creators. This will also provide them with a chance to enjoy the ordinary lives of young people in their 20s.”
News of BTS’ break comes two days after Boy With Luv singer V released his solo track Winter Bear, suggesting he’ll be taking the time off to focus on new music.

I Am your Source of Life, without Me you can do nothing. If anyone lacks wisdom, ask Me, I give to each one freely and without any reproach. I Love and I Care for all. Each one must know Me for real and have your own personal relationship with Me and walk with Me every day, step by step as I Guide and Lead you to be in My Perfect Will.
I am not far away, I am Immanuel, I live in the hearts of My beloved children. You are a Temple of My Holy Spirit, you belong to Me and not to yourselves anymore.
Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you. You do not need to go search for Me like many do and at the wrong places. I am not far away. I am where you are. If you diligently seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me. I reward those who seek Me.

Common wisdom in the personal finance world is to have at least 3/4/5/6/9/12 months of expenses in an emergency fund. The money in this fund is used as a cash buffer, not to be invested but to be ready when something bad happens to you. In general, this is really good advice. But for the die-hard FIRE people, do you really need an emergency fund?
To become financially independent, you have to track your finances. I write articles monthly on how my finances are progressing, in my Monthly Overview posts. I have also given you insight in how I analyse my finances. In both posts, the savings rate is an important measure.

Experienced Airstream Caravanners Virgil and Grace Golden loved to travel, starting with local trips in a pop-up tent camper in the 1930s and eventually joining several Wally Byam Airstream Caravans throughout the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, this adventurous couple was one of only seven couples to participate in both the 1959-1960 Africa Caravan and the 1963-1964 Around the World Caravan.
Virgil often said, “You only die once, and I’m not going to sit home and wait for it.” With that in mind, Virgil and Grace participated in a total of eight historic Caravans:
- 9 – Western Canada Summer 1956
- 13 – Eastern Canada Summer 1957
- 18 – Western Canada Summer 1958
- 20 – Africa 1959-60
- 24 – Europe Summer 1960
- 29 – Mexico Winter 1962
- Highroaders Caravan to Panama 1963
- 35 – Around the World 1963-64
The couple’s adventurous legacy was passed down to the Golden children as their son Lee Golden accompanied them on the Africa Caravan, and their other son Tom and his wife Ethelwyne have been Airstream owners since 1995.
Already seasoned Caravanners by the time they decided to join the 1963-1964 Around the World Caravan, Virgil and Grace custom-ordered a 24-foot 1963 Tradewind Airstream specifically for the trip. It was equipped with optional tandem axles and auxiliary lighting on all four sides to help traverse a variety of challenging terrains. The couple carefully applied their “Big Red Numbers” #692 on the front and rear of the Airstream, indicating their membership in the Wally Byam Caravan Club. In addition, a list of countries they had visited was hand-painted on the front panel of the travel trailer.
Virgil and Grace Golden first used their new Airstream on a “shakedown” trip to Panama. Although not an official Caravan sponsored by Airstream or the Wally Byam Caravan Club, this group of 56 Airstreamers, nicknamed the “Highroaders” because they would reach an altitude of 11,000 feet while driving through Central America, was the first caravan of Airstreams to reach Panama by road.
Ready to set off on their next adventure, Virgil and Grace Golden arrived in Singapore in October 1963 for the Around the World Caravan, towing their 1963 Tradewind with a 4×4 International Travelall. This iconic Caravan of 105 people ranging in age from 1 to 72 set out to travel from Singapore to Cabo Da Roca, Portugal. Staff members included a mechanic, two advance scouts to survey road conditions and food, fuel, and parking locations, and photographer Fran Hall. They traveled over 30,000 miles in 403 days, crossing through 30+ countries. Caravanners entertained locals in their Airstreams and met with the King of Nepal and a Maharaja. They toured the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat and swam in the Dead Sea. They rode elephants and camels and visited the Taj Mahal. Taking advantage of an incredibly rare opportunity, they even parked their travel trailers in front of the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral.
This Airstream ferried the couple through deep mud, across rivers, and over bamboo bridges. After traveling with the Caravan for approximately eleven months, the Goldens returned to the United States from Holland in September of 1964. After the Around the World trip, the couple used this Airstream for the remainder of the Caravanning days. Eventually, it was sold and lost to time.
Several years ago, their son Tom Golden and his wife Ethelwyne set out to find their family’s Airstream and buy it back. After searching for a few years, they were able to locate this historic Airstream in northern California (where it had been sitting under a juniper tree for years) and convince the owner to sell it back to them. Tom enlisted the help of fellow Airstreamer Brad Taylor to bring the Tradewind back to Oregon. From there, avid vintage Airstreamer Scott Goranson began a meticulous restoration of this travel trailer to its original appearance during the course of the1963-1964 Around the World trip. Many of the original features were still intact, including some of the travel gear from the Caravan: a toolbox, bucket, and rope used to tow the rig through the mud.
In 2021, Tom and Ethelwyne Golden generously donated this Airstream to the Airstream Foundation and an extensive collection of cultural artifacts that Virgil and Grace had acquired during their Caravan trips. Through these incredible photographs, journals, and vintage home movies, visitors can begin to understand what the Goldens experienced throughout these once-in-a-lifetime trips. Over the years, Grace carefully cataloged each souvenir the couple acquired, assigning a number to each item and noting its country of origin. Visitors to the Heritage Center will not only see the beautifully preserved #692 on display but also rare fabrics, pottery, and artwork from around the globe.

ABB (NYSE:ABB), the leading power and automation technology group, has received orders worth around $20 million from two power utilities managed by Axpo, a leading Swiss power utility, to refurbish the generators at two of its hydroelectric power plants. The plants are located in the picturesque and mountainous canton of Wallis (Valais) in southern Switzerland, bordering France and Italy. The Mattmark and Mauvoisin power plants are capable of generating 680 megawatts (MW) of electricity and represent around 15 percent of the canton’s installed power generation capacity. The orders were booked in the first quarter.
"The upgrade and refurbishment of these hydropower plants will help increase availability of power supplies and enhance efficiency and reliability” said Franz-Josef Mengede, head of ABB’s Power Generation business within the company’s Power Systems division. "This project is another example of our increased focus on service as a strategic growth driver and leveraging of renewables and energy efficiency as key contributors in minimizing environmental impact."
Hydropower is one of the cleanest, most economical and easily controlled methods of renewable power generation. It’s ‘pumped storage’ application as a reserve to manage demand peaks is an environmentally attractive solution particularly in combination with less reliable and intermittent renewable resources such as wind energy.
ABB has a track record of over 125 years in the hydropower sector with a complete range of power and automation products, systems and services. This includes integrated instrumentation control and electrical (ICE) packages, plant automation solutions and a wide portfolio of products from generator circuit breakers and power transformers to switchgear, motors and drives.
ABB is already executing a $120 million order to provide turnkey electrical, automation and control solutions for the Linth-Limmern high–capacity, pumped-storage hydropower station being installed in an underground cavern in the Linthal valley, located in the canton of Glarus, in eastern Switzerland.
Switzerland is among the countries with the highest share of CO2-free energies in electricity generation, (~98.5 percent) and hydropower is the largest contributor (~55 percent). Electricity consumption in Switzerland, as in many other parts of the world, is rising with population, economic growth and the increasing number of computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices being deployed. Climate change mitigation is another factor behind the growing demand for electricity, a preferred and cleaner source of energy in the effort to reduce the use of fossil fuels.
