You’ll be transferred from Split port by sea plane to the Istrian Peninsula. This ridiculously scenic flight guarantees jaw-dropping views of the Adriatic coast, unravelling its secrets of remote islands.
Wrapping your trip off perfectly, you’ll head to your third and final destination – the extremely beautiful seaside town of Pula.

The Solar Orbiter probe will transport telescopes closer to the sun than ever before.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is planning an ambitious mission involving a specially designed spacecraft entering the sun’s orbit. The Solar Orbiter will launch in February 2020 aboard a NASA rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida. From there, it will take around three years to reach its vantage point, 43m kilometres away from the solar surface.
The satellite, which was built in the UK, is now getting ready to leave the Airbus factory in Stevenage to travel to Germany for testing ahead of its 2020 launch.
A collaborative project
The UK Space Agency funded teams from University College London, Imperial College London and RAL Space to design and build three out of the 10 state-of-the-art scientific instruments on board the spacecraft, and to contribute to a fourth. Other institutions involved include the Centre Spatial de Liège in Belgium and the University of Alcalá in Spain.
The ESA spacecraft is specially engineered to withstand the intense heat from the sun that will hit one side, while the other side is frozen as the orbit keeps it in shadow. According to the BBC, the heat shield on the spacecraft will have to cope with temperatures of up to 600 degrees Celsius.
The secrets of the sun
Daniel Müller, ESA project scientist for the Solar Orbiter, explained what exactly the goal is: “The overarching science question we’re trying to tackle is about how the sun creates this plasma bubble around it, and how solar activity changes in time and also changes this bubble we all live in.”
The spacecraft will provide close-up views of the sun’s polar regions and will track features such as solar storms and solar winds, the latter of which is responsible for the northern lights phenomenon here on Earth.
If this missions seems familiar, it may be because NASA launched its own solar probe, Parker, in August of this year. The two missions will offer complementary perspectives of the sun. Parker will travel through the sun’s atmosphere, while the Solar Orbiter will observe the surface. The Solar Orbiter may also be able to capture images of the NASA spacecraft, unlike Parker.
The NASA mission will also go to within 7m kilometres of the solar surface, enabling it to sample the outer atmosphere of the sun. A series of flybys of the nearby planet Venus will allow the spacecraft to gravitationally manoeuvre itself into an inclined orbit. This enables it to examine the sun’s poles.
UK Space Agency head of science, Chris Lee, said it is “an exciting time for solar science”.

Disclaimer – I am not an expert on mixing dubbing materials.
I do occasionally use dubbings straight out of the packet but to be honest that is pretty rare. Instead, I almost always add something else to the fur. In my head this adds ‘life’ to otherwise flat colours. Whether the fish appreciate my efforts we will never know but I like to think it can make a difference. Let me say from the outset I do not have a secret stash of killer dubbing mixes. There are some ideas which have worked for me over the years so I’ll pass them on to you today but what works for me is not guaranteed to work universally. My aim here is to sow the seed of an idea that using mixed dubbings might be something for you to try out for yourself. For me fly tying is about experimenting and trying out new ideas rather than slavishly following exact patterns.
Here in Ireland the idea of mixing different colours of body fur is as old as fly tying itself. This was probably out of necessity as much as anything else, flies were created with what was available from the farmyard or what nature provided. Dyes were natural and as such variable so mixing different colours was second nature to the old fly tyers to try and achieve a desired shade. Now we simply look through the hundreds (thousands?) of perfectly dyed materials in the shop or on line and buy the ones we want. I think the old fly dressers would find it hard to recognise their colours today despite all our technology. I’m not running down modern materials, we are so very fortunate to have access to the vast range of natural and synthetic furs, all I am saying is that we can make small improvements to some of our flies by not relying solely on the suppliers and do a little mixing ourselves.
Of course pre-mixed dubbings are available and are rightly very popular. I use them too and particularly like the Frankie McPhillips blends. When I am in a hurry I turn to these, they are easy to dub and come in a wide range of hues.
If I was more organised I would label all my creations and note the quantities and colours I use on each packet. In reality I just fiddle about adding a bit of this or a few fibres of that and see how it looks. For me it is a very intuitive process and not an exact science, it needs to look ‘right’ to me (what ever ‘right’ may be).
I will pass on some of my mixes now but please, do not over do the quantities of coloured fur you add. I literally add a few fibres. I can’t give exact percentages but I suspect in most cases we are talking about 1% or 2%.
I have never been a huge fan of plain black fur bodies. There was just something unnatural looking about them and so very early in my fly tying career I began to experiment by adding a dash of other colours to my black seals fur. A few fibres of green or blue seal are my normal additions but orange and claret also make an appearance.
Yellows are a great base colour and I add just about anything you can think of to vary the shade to meet my requirements. White lightens and ‘deadens’ a bright yellow which can be useful on mayfly patterns. Red works well in tiny quantities but I have never found orange to be as good. Green is an obvious one to add but I like putting a few blue fibres in too. On a bigger scale mixing different shades of yellow is something I habitually do. Everything for the yellowest of golden olives right through to deep amber shades are possible.
Shades of olive are beyond counting so it is very hard to be exact. Every angler has his or her own idea of what a green olive or a golden olive should be. I add tiny quantities of greens, yellows, reds, fiery browns or sooty to my olive fur, sometimes tapering the colour to deepen (or lighten) towards the bend.
Brown/Tan/Ginger – all these types of base colours can be enlivened with reds, clarets, oranges or yellows.
Greens benefit from the addition of yellow or black while blues can be livened up with green, red, purple or black. Don’t run away with the notion you can only add one or two additional colours to your blend, use what you want and what looks good to you even if that is 3 or 4 different hues. Just be wary of chucking in loads of different colours just because you can. I also make my own greens by simply mixing blue and yellow fur in relatively equal quantities.
You can add just about anything to creams or white fur but I am careful about which coloured fur I add. Soft, fine fur will blend into the white making it lose the base colour. Use stiffer fibres in the tiniest of quantities (seal for example). Whites and creams are the most difficult by far, so build your skills with easier colours before attempting whites.
Clarets and fiery browns are obvious choices for a dash of red or orange.
Reds benefit from a sprinkle pink or blue or purple in my view but again, try what you think looks right.
Mixing natural and dyed furs takes us into a whole new realm! Seriously, I could write a book on this topic alone. Think hares fur for example. It can be dyed all sorts of colours and then spiced up with highlights of dyed seal. The combings from a squirrels tail are a lovely neutral shade which takes other colours well. Dyed squirrel comes in a whole rainbow of shades so the possibilities are endless. Mole’s fur with a dash of claret through it as the body of an Iron Blue Dun, blue rabbit under fur with some black and white seal to make an awesome Adams, the list just goes on and on.
In addition to blending different furs I add other things like chopped up glo-brite floss, deer hair, chopped up wool. Wool can be very good. Readily available and in every conceivable colour, the fibres are strong and stand out well when dubbed in tiny quantities. Occasionally I’ll use flash of some description. I recall when ‘Glister’ came of the market and was excited to try it out but in truth I found it too thick and so I rarely use it now. If I want to add flash to a fly I tend to stick with adding a couple of strands under the wing or in the tail rather than try to blend it into the body.
Of course you can use any of the plethora of modern synthetic dubbings too. While I am personally not a massive fan of bits of plastic in my flies the odd few fibres can be useful when blended with natural furs. Many of these are already mixes themselves so things can get a bit complicated but go by your eye.
In terms of the actual mixing process I have two methods. If I am just sitting at the vice and want a small amount of fur to make couple of flies I just use my fingers to tease out a pinch of fur then add the coloured ones and mix them in together. It only takes a few seconds. On the other hand, if I am setting out to make bigger quantities I use an old coffee grinder which makes a great job of mixing. I never bother cleaning out the grinder, the odd few fibres left will just go into my next mix!
There is a strong argument that a couple of strands of coloured fur in the body of a fly is not going to make a bit of difference to it’s attractiveness but I am not so sure it is that simple. When making flies I strive to add ‘life’ and just maybe my odd few strands of red or purple could be a help. Who knows?
2 thoughts on “Mixing dubbing”
I was told years and years ago that there were very few pure colours on insects by a chap that used to like a bit of purple in his black dubbing.
I had an art teacher at school who did not allow us to use black paint – he said black did not exist in nature. Some of that must have rubbed off on me!

With just a month remaining for its delivery event, entrepreneur Elon Musk has revealed more details of the electric pickup truck Cybertruck. The vehicle, first unveiled by Musk at an event in Los Angeles in 2019, has been in the making for the last four years.
While making an appearence at the Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Tuesday, Musk said the cybertruck would have a beast mode. He, however, did not specify what would be included in that version of the EV.
There will also be a variant of Cybertruck with bulletproof steel panels, with bulletproof glass that cannot be rolled down. "You can make anything bulletproof if you want, but the glass has to be very thick for be bulletproof, so it can't go up and down," Musk said.
During the interview, Rogan tested the Cybertruck's exterior by shooting a compound bow at the vehicle's stainless steel body. The arrow appeared to partially break against the car's exterior leaving a small dent in the side of the Cybertruck.
He added that there will be three demonstrations to prove the Cybertruck is bulletproof, including shooting the vehicle with a Tommy gun, a 45 milimeter shotgun, and a 9 milimeter gun. "Trucks are supposed to be tough, right?" Musk said.
The Tesla CEO also revealed that the aim was to produce about 200,000 Cybertrucks a year. "We're aiming to make about 200,000 a year at point production ... maybe a little more, but I just can't emphasize enough that manufacturing is much much harder than the initial design," Musk said about the futuristic-looking Cybertruck.
"It looks so odd. You have to see it in the flesh," Rogan said. "It's the coolest looking production car that's ever been made."
Tesla was also aiming for a 0-to-60 mph acceleration time of less than 3 seconds, he said, adding that the Cybertruck would weigh about 7,000 lbs, with some versions closer to 6,000 lbs. This is somewhat close to the weight of Ford Lightning, which weighs over 6,000 pounds, and the Rivian R1T, which weighs over 8,000 pounds.


Britons more experimental in tourism choices
THE notion that tourists create a "little Britain abroad" while away on holiday seems to be dying out, according to research out today.
Many holidaymakers now want to assimilate foreign culture and mix with the locals, the survey from the Jamaica Tourist Board showed.
More people are travelling independently - and further - than before, increasing the chances of their trying new things, the survey found.
Based on responses from 2,000 people, it showed:
:: 29% - and 37% of over-50s - wanted to taste foreign cuisine
:: 24% were keen to meet local people
:: 20% of under-20s liked putting their language skills to the test while away
:: 12% wanted to try adventure pursuits, with 27% of 16 to 19-year-olds saying various sports activities were key ingredients to their holiday.
Elizabeth Fox, regional director for the Jamaica Tourist Board, said: "Britons are becoming more adventurous and experimental in their tastes when they go abroad. They are more willing to try foreign foods, talk to local people and visit cultural attractions.
"We believe that the rise in popularity of long-haul travel among key groups - and the growth of independent travel - is driving this willingness to experience new cultures."

With a simple tap of a MasterCard PayPass card or device at checkout, Circle K customers can now purchase their everyday items more quickly and conveniently.
“For more than 50 years, Circle K has remained one of North America’s most popular places to shop because we continually look for innovative ways to improve the customer experience in our stores,” says Bryan Ritenour, Circle K.
“Our shoppers, who are regularly ‘on the go,’ will enjoy the speed, convenience and shorter lines that result when they tap to pay with MasterCard PayPass, instead of fumbling for cash and coins at checkout.”
The use of contactless payment cards continues to see exponential growth.
The number of MasterCard PayPass cards and devices in market has grown from nearly 13 million as of Q4 2006, to more than 23 million as of Q4 2007, to more than 50 million as of Q4 2008. According to U.S. consumer research by the Smart Card Alliance, issued in September 2008, nine percent of the U.S. population has a contactless payment card or device, and this figure continues to grow.

Last week, Geffen released Camera Phone as the fourth single off of The Game’s latest album, LAX. Though the record was only good enough to make the project as a ‘Deluxe Edition’ bonus track, label executives figured that, with its Ne-Yo-assisted hook and Cool & Dre production the song could catch on and lead to some more moolah. If they had asked DJBooth, however, which single Game should release next, we would have suggested the unreleased Red Magic. Straight off the cutting room floor, a tagged-up version of the track first appeared on Lil Wayne’s recently-released Drought 6 mixtape, with the featured studio version to follow. Also produced by the Miami natives, Red Magic was undoubtedly left behind after the fearsome foursome of The Game, Weezy and Cool & Dre concocted the hit single, My Life.

Genre: Progressive Metal
I unfortunately have only managed to listen to this album by Periphery. They're an amazing band, but for some reason I can't manage to find the time, they're a little too smart for me.
Not like lyrically though, they're just rather involved musically. Their use of time signatures and tempos are rather intimidating to listen to when all you want is some simple music to pass time with. I tend to not want that in my leisure time, but once I find the songs I like they are added to the list of familiar enough to enjoy.
I feel like this is a very disjointed post and for that I apologize, it's been an off day at the point of writing this.

GISS found March to be the 4th-warmest March in their records, with an anomaly of +0.70°C, and the 25-warmest month overall, out of 1,611 months (134.25 years) since 1850.
Their 30-year trend remains at 0.17°C/decade, and their 15-year trend at 0.09°C/decade.
In the Northern Hemisphere is was the 3rd-warmest March, and 8th-warmest month since 1850, at +1.09°C. Yes, the Northern Hemisphere is seeing anomalies above +1°C. (The first occurred only in 1995.)
The Southern Hemisphere was only the 20-warmest March, at +0.30°C, and the 266th-warmest month there, again out of 1,611 months.
Maybe someday we will all end up moving to the Southern Hemisphere to escape climate change. At present the Northern Hemisphere has 3.9 times the population density of the Southern Hemisphere.

Mass is the enemy of performance, so we pulled out all the stops to make the Alpinist Cockpit the lightest one-piece bar/stem combo that passes our standards; at 255 grams (110 mm x 420mm). Not only does light weight make for faster climbing, it also improves acceleration and ride quality. The Alpinist Cockpit's round tube shape and tradition bend respect tried and true forms, but the optimized composite layup and internal cable routing are decidedly modern. Available in 10 sizes, there's one that will fit you perfectly. And because they are backed by a no-fault crash replacement policy and lifetime warranty, you can rest easy knowing that we've got your back. - Bend: Tradition radius ( 125mm Drop / 75mm Reach) - Clamp Diameter: 31.8 - Compatibility: Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo; Di2 and EPS - Material: Advanced carbon composite - Sizes: 400 mm x 80/90/100mm; 420mm x 90/100/110/120mm; 440mm x 110/120/130mm - Stem Angle (Rise): 6-Degrees - System Weight Limit: 275lbs / 125kg - Weight: 255 grams (110 mm x 420 mm)
An aerodynamically optimized road drop handlebar featuring the latest in electric drivetrain compatibility that will help you go faster through careful handlebar shaping and by reducing the rider’s frontal area. The Smart ENVE System (SES) Aero Road Bar is made from 100% uni-directional carbon fiber and is the stiffest, most race-oriented handlebar in the ENVE handlebar product line. The SES road bar features internal routing for mechanical and electronic systems to further save valuable watts. To further the integration with electronic groups, the bar now accommodates the housing of a junction box in the bar end. The shape of the bar is wind-tunnel and CFD tested for aero efficiency. The bulk of aero gains are made by putting the rider’s body in a fast position which can be maintained for long periods of time without sacrificing power output. Improved rider positioning is achieved by keeping the top of the bar narrow to naturally ease riders into a more aero position. The drops of the handlebar are flared for wrist clearance and confident handling in technical sprints, criteriums, and descents. - Material: Carbon Fiber - Width (C to C in Drops): 40cm, 42cm, 44cm, 46cm - Width (C to C in Hoods): 35cm, 37cm, 39cm, 41cm - Reach: 79mm - Drop/Rise: 127mm - Clamp Diameter: 31.8mm - Torque Spec, Face Plate: 5.5Nm - Torque Spec, Controls: 6Nm-8Nm
Since its introduction, the most common feedback on our Ergonova drop bar was “don’t change a thing”. But observing how our customers ride, we noticed many spend considerable time holding the bars in the corner section, especially while climbing. Designing the corners specifically for this function has created a bar that is supremely comfortable not only on the tops and the drops, but also in this intermediate position. Further redesigns to the hood and drop shapes to accommodate the latest shift/brake levers help to create the new standard in ergonomics - Material: Unidirectional carbon - Cable routing: Internal cable channels - Stem torque: 5Nm maximum - Shift/brake lever torque: 8Nm maximum - Clip-ons: Not compatible - Di2 compatibility: Fully compatible, including with Di2 bar plug Junction A
Wind is the ultimate cruelty, and nowhere is it more keenly met than at the leading edge of your bike. Want to save an easy 20 seconds over 40 kilometers? Get a set of Rapide handlebars. Leveraging our countless hours of Win Tunnel testing, we designed the Rapide bar to cut through the wind with knife-edge efficiency, and at the same time, provide the utmost comfort while hammering at the front. A textured surface on the tops ensures secure and comfortable grip, even when wet; there's a recessed step that sets the bar wrap flush with the tops; the airfoil is offset forward to offer greater forearm and knee clearance; and, at 225 grams, the Rapide is the lightest aero bar in its class. Aerodynamic performance without compromise. This is the leading edge. - Aerodynamically engineered to save 20+ seconds over 40km vs. a round bar - Optimized blend of high modulus carbon fiber materials yields lightest-in-class aero bar at 225g (size 42cm) - Innovative features, like textured tops and a smooth bar tape step, enhance your experience - Bend: 125mm drop x 75mm reach
In terms of both comfort and performance, anywhere that your body touches the bike is of the utmost importance. That's why Specialized designed the S-Works Hover Carbon Handlebars to excel on both fronts. Starting with the construction, they're made from their FACT carbon fiber for a light overall weight, vibration absorption, and high rigidity. And for comfort, much of it boils down to fit. Along these lines, they feature a shallow drop and bend that's extremely comfortable, while they also offer a 15mm rise to help accommodate a wide fit range. - FACT carbon construction offers an optimized blend of durability and light overall weight. - 15mm rise for additional rider fit range. - Shallow Bend Drop: 123mm Drop x 75mm Reach
Light weight, comfort, and strength: The SL-70 Ergo is the ultimate handlebar for long days in the saddle. The SL-70 Ergo improves upon the flat bar top shape of its carbon predecessor, the Contour SL bar, but also with numerous modern features sought after by riders and pro bike fitters. The SL-70 Ergo sports a 70mm reach and 128 drop. The short 70mm reach allows bike fitters flexibility in achieving a comfortable position without sacrificing steering control. The drop utilizes a variable radius, allowing for multiple hand positions and deeper movement into the drop. As a result, reach to the brake lever is shorter. A 3° backsweep on the flat tops keeps the wrist in a comfortable position, essential for long days on pavement or gravel, while the 10° ramp angle provides a smooth transition to modern shifter hoods. Brake and shifter housing is elegantly hidden along the underside of the bar. The SL-70 Ergo weighs only 205g but is strong and durable enough for the demands of aggressive cyclocross and gravel racing. - Unidirectional Carbon built for stiffness, comfort and light weight - Ergonomic top for all-day comfort - Variable radius drop for multiple hand positions and deeper movement into the drop. - 70mm reach - 128mm drop - Variable radius drop - Cable grooves
A high performance bar, ideal for smaller hands or for riders that spend the majority of their time climbing. An ergonomic top perch with smooth transitions alleviate pressure on hands and greatly improve comfort. - Bar Width (center-to-center): 36/38/40/42/44cm - Clamp Diameter: Oversized 31.8mm - Ergonomic top perch alleviates pressure on hands. - FACT carbon construction offers an optimized blend of durability and light weight. - Front of bar optimized for dual-cable routing. - Shallow Bend Drop: 123mm drop x 75mm reach - Shallow bend drop design. - UCI legal, compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo controls. - Weight: 200g (42cm)
With ergonomic flat tops and easy-to-reach drops, Zipp’s Service Course SL-70 Ergo bars ensure comfort and control for every hand position. A short reach to the brake hoods and the revised ramp angle make the drops more accessible and comfortable. This lets you get low and aero without compromising comfort or control. Stiff and light for uncompromising strength and climbing prowess, these aluminum bars are ready for anything.
A perfect fit, stiffness, and the quality that Fizik built their name upon, that's what the Cyrano R3 Handlebars provide. These handlebars use Fizik's unique Spine Concept fitting technology to offer incredible ergonomics and a perfect fit on your bike. Designed for total compatibility with Fizik's saddles and stems (sold separately), the Cyrano R3 Bull handlebar optimizes your position for every ride.

Kybella treatment completed today!! Who wants to see the progression of swelling over the next few days to plan for recovery! Remember it’s PERMANENT fat cell loss!! Goodbye double chin!!! #kybella#fulldocumentationcoming
Kybella really works! This is the patient from an earlier video. This is after two treatments and today he came for his last one! Kybella is an injectable that eliminates unwanted fat permanently. Multiple treatments are needed. Each treatment is 6-8 weeks apart. Even though we offer Coolsculpt for this area, kybella allows me to be more precise. Other areas to treat include bra fat, banana rolls(it’s really a thing) and other small pockets of fat.
It saddens us to announce the departure of our long time team member, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist, Leilani Ludviksen, RN, BSN. 😢❤ She has been an important part of the Honolulu MedSpa team for the past 7 years, and will be missed dearly. We are pleased to announce that Leilani is 100% hands on with the training of our next generation of Aesthetic Nurse Specialists! Patient care is our top priority at Honolulu MedSpa and our goal is to exceed your expectations.
Happy Filler Friday! This patient smoked for years, and was bothered by the classic “smoker’s lines” around her mouth, as well as the volume depletion in her lips. Two syringes of Volbella were used to soften the lines around her mouth and bring her lips back to their former pout! So many lips are overdone these days—don’t let that scare you away—lip filler should enhance what you’ve already got, not give you lips that you never had that don’t balance and blend with the rest of your features. Work by Bethany Patterson, RN, BSN. #saynotoducklips
This patient had one treatment of Kybella to treat the fat under the chin. Kybella is a deoxycholic acid that when injected 💉into the submental fat can permanently destroy 💣the fat cells. Call us 📞today to schedule an appointment!
Thank you to Allergan, Curtis (our rep🏆) and these fabulous, knowledgeable physicians Dr Shridharani @luxurgery & Dr Yoelin for their pearls of Kybella wisdom and protocols. 🙌🏻🙌🏻💉 Always such a pleasure to see one of the best in the industry Dr Yoelin and cultivate new relationships with gurus such as Dr Shridharani! 🥇🥇#kybella#allergan#chinfat#gurus#friday#results#brafat#jowls#doublechin

A beautiful before and after of Lip augmentation with fillers. This 49 year old wanted fuller lips to make it appear more supple and dewy without looking obviously ‘done’. She also has lip asymmetry in the before picture where the lower left lip is smaller compared to the right side. These asymmetries were also corrected with judicious use of the filler. Lip augmentation does not necessarily mean very large lips , subtle or very full look can be created and controlled with the amount of filler injected 💉💉

It’s time to stop sitting in the passenger seat of your life. Take the wheel with the new and improved Subaru BZR.
Subaru is an automobile manufacturing division of Japan, headed by the Fuji Heavy Industries. Since 1972, their cars have been known for having a boxer engine layout with a symmetrical all-wheel drive. From the beginning, Subaru has been at the forefront of producing practical and engineer-driven vehicles. They also offer turbocharged versions of their passenger cars, making them exceptional in the roster of the dedicated core of practical buyers.
After trying out this amazing front-engined and lightweight car, we've compiled a list of its features worthy of mention:
1. Subaru BZR went a long way to gain 5 horsepower and 5 lb-ft of torque, bringing a total of 205 hp and 156 lb-ft. In Subaru’s well-developed aspirated engine, this seems to be a strenuous number to squeeze out for the gains in power.
2. At the heart of this exceptional sports car is Subaru’s 2.0-litre flat-four with the code name FB20. This has an updated airbox bolstering an aluminum intake system. It also has 3.0-millimeter larger tubes paired with freer flowing exhaust manifolds. This engine can be directly linked to automatic or manual six-speed gearboxes. It comes with three modes- Auto, Manual and Temporary Manual, the latter allowing downshifting through paddles behind the steering wheel.
3. On its cylinder heads, the valve shells out and the camshaft undergo a more thorough polishing process to condensed friction. To further reduce drag, the direct-fuel-injection pump has been tuned. For added strength, pistons are shot-peened, and the crankshaft bearings have been whined up.
4. Subaru BZR’s torque peaks at 6400 rpm, and the bottom end of the curve is augmented at lower revs. Still existing, however, is the distinctive dip in torque between 3500 rpm and 4800 rpm. A rapidly moving BRZ remains as a key element above this soft spot, to keep the revs up high.
5. When it comes to Subaru, you’re sure that everything is fast, light-footed and swift. If you turn it to a fast corner, it will under-steer only very slightly. If you lift mid-corner or trail the brakes, it will quickly turn into controllable over-steer. At high speeds, you’ll feel very stable, thanks to its relatively long 2570mm wheelbase.
6. Subaru’s interior has a bulky and smart rev counter, with the speedometer sitting off to the left and the fuel gauges and temperature to the right.
7. When it comes to entertainment, Subaru BRZ is at the top of its game. This sports car comes with dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and go, USB connectivity, cruise control and sports seats.
8. Outside this seamless car, there are 17 inches alloy wheels, a sporty body kit, a rear spoiler and xenon headlights.
9. Subaru BRZ prides its new 4.2 inches screen, alongside with a smaller-diameter steering wheel with audio controls, tweaked powertrain and exterior styling. It also has suspension improvements claimed to develop fuel efficiency and handling. There’s also a new track setting enhanced to the drive mode selector.

|I am getting everything around to install an automatic ballast system in my 1997 Super Sport and I will be drilling a seperate 1.5" thru-hull on the bottom of my boat for the water pick up. The thing I can't decide is what type of thru-hull should I use. . .a scoop type thru hull or a flat thru hull? |
This thru-hull is going to go to a manifold which will have 3 reversible simer pumps hooked up to it. I will be filling and draining all from the same thru-hull. If I put a scoop type thru hull in, will it create too much back pressure when I'm trying to empty the sacs? Also, will it create a lot of pressure when I am pulling somebody and the water is shooting in to the thru hull?
If I use a flat thru hull, do you think the 3 pumps would suck the water up enough to not lose any fill time? Thanks for any help.
|Also, where is the best place to get a 1.5" thru-hull?|
|scoop all the way. i installed a pumpless ballast system this fall and i dont have any pumps at all. the scoop fills 1000 lbs in under 6 minutes @ 20 mph. a flat thru hull would probably work but im reasonably certian a scoop type wont limit your flow. i dont clearly understand your question about empyting the sacs. i dont think it would be possible to empty the sacs through the same thru hull as the water pressure would be to great(while moving that is). i installed mine where it was accessible to turn off the ball valve(which was installed for primarily safety reasons but i can also stop all water flow) when i open the engine cover. about 6-8 inches from the center to the boat. if you can predrill with a small bit from the inside itll take alot of the guess work out of where to place the thru hull when youre on your back underneathe the boat about preparing to drill a 2 inch hole thru your hull. |
|If you use a scoop, just drill some holes in the backside of the scoop so you can still empty at speed, also beware that if you aren't filling/emptying these at the same time your pumps will want suck water or air out of your other tanks/bags instead of out of the water under your boat. Sounds silly but we ran into this problem when developing a ballast system. We tried one scoop then decided to run with three separate small 1/2" scoops instead of the BIG scoop and it works a lot more efficiently. We are now testing some centrifugal set-ups Good Luck|
|Chris, were you using reversible or aerator pumps in your system? I wouldn't think it would suck water from the other sacs because the other pumps I have would have that sac sealed off. I am using reversible simer pumps, so they shouldn't let any water past unless they are turned on. |
|We tried Jabso and SCC reversible pumps and had more of an air problem with the Jabsco(the flow a lot but the impeller is a bit loose, which lets air through). A little water transfer isn't a big deal but the air will get in and keep flowing through the vent to that tank and you'll eventually burn up the impeller. We only had this problem when one of the tanks was near empty. It may not be a problem with bags? |
|I put the simer system in with one big scupper through hull and it works great. The scupper faces forward and fills a bit faster when moving, but will fill or drain while moving or sitting still, and they can all be running at once or just one at a time. I split off to four pumps, one for each side, front and back. I vented each sac through the side so that they don't have any air issues and don't blow up. I havn't had any problems with the bags pulling from each other or anything. |
The only thing I am going to change on the next boat is that I am going to put flow switches in line so that you know when the bags are empty - right now, its hard to tell since it emptys through the bottom. Hopefully I'll even get it wired up so that the flow switches trip the pump circuit so that the system shuts itself off... but, I'm not sure exactly how to make that work yet. I'm sure the right person could tell me...
(Message edited by Matt Ostmeyer on December 30, 2004)
|The flow switch sounds like a good idea, tell me what you come up with Matt...|
|For sure - when I get something figured out I will post all the info...|
|Matt O, can you post info on the flow switch?!|
Did you get your thru hull online? If so, where did you purchase it from?
|Still havn't spent the time to figure out where to get a cheap flow switch... they can be bought from many high-end plumbing/fluid transfer supply warehouses in the price range of $100-200, but those are for very sensitive/very high pressure applications. For a ballast tank, surely there is something out there in the $10-40 range that will get the job done. When I find the one I'm going to go with, I'll post the system for sure. |
Justin - I got my thru hull from a marine supply warehouse in Kansas City through a small boat repair shop down the street from me in Stilwell (south side of KC). I think I paid like $35 or $40 for an 1 1/4" scupper. They can be found online too...
|flow switches don't work well in practice, no major boat builders use them anymore. It's easier with tanks rather than bags. If you have tanks, you can easily implement a level switch, most are build as gas tanks to start with. If you have bags or tanks, you need free outflow to prevent destroying fiberglass. Flow switches are useless. Tanks with level switches. |


Port of Toledo Handled More Cargo In 2017
Officials at the Port of Toledo say that the port handled 16% more cargo in 2017 than it did in 2016. The significant rise in cargo handled has been attributed to the rebound in iron ore traffic, which more than doubled in 2017 from the previous years. Additionally, the Blade reports that the iron ore by weight accounted for about than a third of all the weight handled at the port last year. Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority pegged the weight handled at the port at 9.6m tons. Moreover, the port seems to have bright prospects heading into the future owing to the increase iron ore activities. For instance, Joel Cappel, a port authority reckons that the planed hot-briquetted iron which is slated to be opened in 2020 will further boost the portâs business.

Toledo Moves A Step Closer To Making Medical Marijuana Available
Toledo has moved closer to having a medical marijuana dispensary available after the Toledo City Council voted to approve a special permit for Glass City Alternatives LLC. The council was voting on the land use issue. In the end, council member voted 10 for and 1 against, leaving the dispensary proprietors with only one obstacle remaining – the state license. The license could be issued in as little as one, leaving only one other license up for grabs. Lucas County has only two licenses to for medical marijuana dispensaries.

Last month, Joe came to do a job that none of us gals wanted to do. I felt like this was a man’s job, so I called on the best guy I know.
Here he is in action, placing three floating floral rafts in their designated spots.
The shallow end was no biggie…
But the deep end is where it got a little exhausting for him.
He had to dive to the bottom of this ten foot deep pool over and over to set the weights in the perfect place so the rafts wouldn’t budge. A fountain spills into the pool, creating some turbulence which would have otherwise pushed these rafts to the edge of the pool and out of the center of attention. He spent about an hour in there! Thanks for being such a trooper, Joe!
These rafts are tricky to build and tricky to set up, but they are showstoppers! So worth the effort, don’t you think?
*A floral raft how-to is coming!*
Happy Halloween to all! The Brancaleone’s will be keeping it chill- watching scary movies and passing out candy to kids. Pesto will be dressing up as Pocahontas (for the 3rd year straight), and Basil will be a candy corn.

The featurette also depicts how Roberts created Margaret Thatcher's "extraordinary, hugely feminine" style as she "was obsessed with clothes", as well as the difficulties that went into Roberts and director Jessica Hobbs' journey for Princess Margaret, played by Helena Bonham Carter, in episode seven.
“We just talked about this late-life bruising, what was happening to her,” Hobbs says. “It's just so beautiful when you go through the episode and realise what Amy's done… Suddenly all these colours appear, which are very like a bruise deepening over time.”
Speaking on her personal experience from her countless years in the industry, Bonham Carter said: “I’ve never spent more time on a job in costume. It was very much a collaboration. Although, Amy, a lot of the time, would say, ‘Just shut up and get on with it, you look marvellous.’”

The Ministry of Women & Child Development, India celebrated the National Girl Child Day at a special function in New Delhi today. The theme of the program was Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.
The National Plan of Action for Children, 2016 was also released followed by addresses by Smt. Maneka Sanjay Gandhi, Minister of WCD; Secretary WCD, Ms. Leena Nair and Secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution, Smt. Preeti Sudan. Special addresses were given by eminent speakers including Ms. Deepa Malik (Silver medalist at Rio Paralympics 2016), Ms Avani Chaturvedi (Women Fighter Pilot), Ms Arunima Sinha (First women amputee to climb Mount Everest) and Ms Shanno (former street girl and advisor of Balaknama newspaper, for and by street children).
Addressing the participants, Smt Maneka Sanjay Gandhi said that the BBBP program has done very well across the country especially in the State of Haryana. The Minister said that the parents have to ensure health, education and success of their daughters as well as contribute to the development of their talents. Narrating the experience of her own life, the Minister said that it is the parents especially the mother who can help girls become ‘arrows into the future’.
Secretary WCD, Ms. Leena Nair said that the Ministry of WCD has launched the flagship program BBBP to check the adverse sex ratio by changing the mindset of the people. Not only this, the WCD Ministry is putting in all efforts to address the issues related to nutrition of girls and violence against girls/women.

Over four decades, few bands have navigated shifting trends and relentless performances quite like Metallica. Their legacy has been etched even as they dominate stadiums and resonate with Gen Z through platforms like Stranger Things and TikTok, bridging their past with their future. Kirk Hammett, despite his fame, finds himself awestruck by the enormity of it all.
He reflects, “The astonishing accomplishments we achieved at such a young age leave me in awe as if some cosmic force was guiding us. Kill ‘Em All and Ride The Lightning were truly groundbreaking upon their release, and I take immense pride in that.”
Metallica’s journey is monumental, with their M72 World Tour’s stage size matching their triumphs. Backstage at MetLife Stadium, Kirk shares a humorous remark about their occasional disorientation on this impressive setup. The band, comprising James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Robert Trujillo, maintains focus despite the tour’s complex stage design.
Their setlist avoids repetition each weekend, featuring songs from their recent album, 72 Seasons. Kirk’s masterful solos echo through the arena, prompting thousands to emulate air guitar moves in unity.
While Metallica is synonymous with grandeur, they’ve also embraced intimate shows. Their 2016 Webster Hall performance, a far cry from MetLife’s scale, is etched in memory as a no-frills, impactful event where their music took center stage. This marked thirty years since their bassist Cliff Burton’s untimely demise.
With a smile, Kirk fondly recollected, “Webster Hall is an incredibly cool venue to perform at… It felt like a throwback to the Ride the Lightning tour days.”

He nostalgically revisits a wild night in Philadelphia during the 1985 Ride the Lightning tour: “That Tower Theater gig is etched in my memory. It was during the Ride the Lightning tour, and it was a wild one. The energy was intense, and the show turned into sheer chaos… It left a mark on us; we kept reminiscing about it for years. It became legendary, and that’s how impactful it was for me—I can still vividly recall it.”
Could there be a Round 2 of uproarious moments in Upper Darby? “For the sake of old times, we should play there again. Wouldn’t that be an incredible experience?”
Much has transformed since the pre-Puppet era. Their music now defines the ’80s Bay Area thrash scene. The band’s songs have amassed billions of streams and sales. Their philanthropic endeavors have supported numerous individuals in need. Their cultural influence spans generations: associating Metallica with the Hellfire Club over Napster reveals your age. Despite all these achievements, Kirk remains most awestruck by their humble beginnings.
“We were all so young, yet we had a crystal-clear vision of our sound, our approach, the songs we wanted to create,” he reflects on their foundational years. “When we were making those albums and performing, we took it in stride. It was like, ‘Okay, we did that, what’s next?’ We never truly grasped the magnitude of our accomplishments. Now, four decades later, I can reflect and think, wow, we truly achieved something remarkable.”

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a dominating force for entertainment this past year, shifting over into the television sphere with their recent shows available on the Disney+ streaming service. Many of these, such as WandaVision and Loki, have tackled the theme of the multiverse – a concept first opened up during Spider-Man’s second feature-length adventure Spider-Man: Far from Home, which also concluded phase three of the MCU and wrapped up the events seen in Avengers: Endgame. However, I don’t think anyone was fully prepared for the massive standout hit that would be the web-slinger’s third major on-screen appearance – maybe fifth or sixth if you count his involvement in the MCU overall – and its gaming changing effect on future events to come. I am, of course, talking about Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was released in theaters earlier this past weekend.
Directly following the events of Far from Home, Peter’s identity was just revealed to the entire world thanks to a last-ditch effort courtesy of Mysterio. Now, quite literally America’s most wanted, he, his best friend Ned, and his just recently acquired girlfriend Michelle “MJ” Jones find their college plans and possible futures in jeopardy due to their connection with our favorite wall-crawling hero. Aiming to fix things, Peter pays a visit to the illustrious Dr. Strange, hoping that his affinity for magic can save the day. And everything could’ve gone smoothly, until Peter accidentally disrupts Strange’s spell casting, greatly altering its effectiveness in the process. Now villains from all across different dimensions are showing up in their universe searching for Peter Parker, and it’s up to Spider-Man to make things right again before the fabric of all reality crumbles before them.
This movie is an absolute must-see for major fans of the Spider-Man franchise, especially those who are fond of the Tobey Maguire early 2000s movie trilogy, as well as the two film Andrew Garfield “Amazing Spider-Man” series that proceeded his official introduction into the MCU. By utilizing the current exploration of the multiverse idea, this film allows Marvel Studios access to a whole flurry of other characters – no matter who currently holds the rights to them – in a way that doesn’t take much explaining to make sense as to why they have or haven’t appeared yet. Seeing the return of familiar enemies, such as Alfred Molina’s Dr. Otto Octavius (Dr. Ock), and William Dafoe’s Norman Osborn (Green Goblin), from the original film franchise facing off against Tom Holland’s Spider-Man alongside Jamie Foxx’s Max Dillon (Electro), and Rhys Ifans’ Dr. Curt Conners (Lizard), from the Garfield franchise on screen together makes for one epic viewing experience that not many studios have successfully pulled off. And, without spoiling too much – though you’ve probably already speculated it by now – they’re not the only special appearances throughout the movie.
No Way Home is also filled with several easter eggs and “blink and you’ll miss it” details that will have fans scrambling back to the theaters for second and third rewatches, some of which tie into the overarching storyline of the MCU entirely. Audience members will certainly want to make sure to catch both the mid-credits and post-credits scenes, the latter being a trailer for the next major MCU release: Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. As for the former…let’s just say Peter Parker’s story is nowhere near over.

But both failed - Lamartine almost ludicrously - while Thiers in hard conditions made a striking if not a brilliant success.
The advent of Thiers, his attitude towards the petition of French bishops on behalf of the pope, the recall of Senard, the French minister at Florencewho had written to congratulate Victor Emmanuel on the capture of Romeand the instructions given to his successor, the comte de Choiseul, to absent himself from Italy at the moment of the kings official entry into the new capital (2nd July 1871), together with the haste displayed in appointing a French ambassador to the Holy See, rapidly cooled the cordiality of Franco-Italian relations, and reassured Bismarck on the score of any dangerous intimacy between the two governments.
At its southern end, by the quay, is a bronze statue of Thiers, and at the northern end, the cathedral of St Augustine, a large church built in quasi-Byzantine style.
LOUIS ADOLPHE THIERS (1797-1877), French statesman and historian, was born at Marseilles on the 16th of April 1 797.
In the early autumn of 1821 Thiers went to Paris, and was quickly introduced as a contributor to the Constitutionnel.

HARTFORD — With the achievement of his pen, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy aftermost anniversary chaotic a accepted law article that dates to 13th aeon England and was upheld in Connecticut as afresh as 2012, back the Supreme Cloister disqualified that the accompaniment has absolute time to sue for architecture deficiencies.
The bill active into law Thursday imposes a 10-year statute of limitations on the accompaniment for construction-related claims, repealing — in those affairs — the age-old article of “nullum tempus occurrit regi” or “no time runs adjoin the king.”
Nullum tempus was abundantly abandoned in Connecticut until 2008, back then-Attorney Accepted Richard Blumenthal sued for multimillion-dollar leaks at the UConn law library 12 years afterwards the architecture opened in 1996. The contractors challenged the accusation because it was filed alfresco the six-year aeon during which addition can accompany claims for a clandestine breadth project. The case went up to the accompaniment Supreme Court, which captivated that beneath nullum tempus, the accompaniment could accept waited as continued as it capital to accompany the claim. The cardinal beatific shock after-effects through the industry, as architecture professionals accomplished they were always accountable for any activity they anytime apprenticed with the state.
The new law is the aftereffect of a three-year lobbying accomplishment that the architecture industry launched weeks afterwards the Supreme Cloister accommodation in November 2012.
“You had an absolute industry beforehand back the alpha of time actuality in Connecticut beneath the acceptance that there was a bound bulk of acknowledgment [to loss] because there was a statute of limitations for the state,” said Don Shubert, admiral of the Connecticut Architecture Industries Association. “Then the Supreme Cloister comes bottomward with a accommodation that says well, there absolutely isn’t.”
The accommodation spurred a host of industry fears — that bonding companies would be afraid to abode bonds based on absolute acknowledgment to acknowledged claims, that the amount to abundantly assure adjoin accompaniment claims would be unaffordable, and that retired design, engineering and artist professionals could be alone accountable for projects they accomplished 20 years ago if their allowance behavior did not awning them into retirement.
The architecture industry could alone abode these fears by acceptable the assembly to authorize a statute of limitations for the state. The claiming would be persuading the accompaniment — which won $12 actor in the UConn law library adjustment — that this was a acceptable idea.
Building A Coalition
Architectural, engineering and architecture professionals, lobbyists, and attorneys met anon afterwards the Supreme Cloister accommodation to alpha alive on legislation. At the time, they were no added than six or seven in number.
“A accumulation of us array of artlessly came together,” said Don Doeg, a advocate for Updike, Kelly & Spellacy who represents the Connecticut Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, one of the arch advancement groups on this issue. The accumulation did not adapt in time to beforehand any legislation through the Accepted Assembly in the 2013 session, but instead spent the year architecture the Accompaniment Statute of Limitations Coalition, which grew to accommodate a dozen construction, architectural and engineering organizations afflicted by the accommodation in Accompaniment vs. Lombardo Bros. Mason Contractors.
Doeg said lobbyists spent an “awful lot of time” educating assembly about their bulletin in 2013 — and afresh in 2014, back a bill to appoint a statute of limitations austere the legislature’s attorneys board but did not accomplish it to the attic for a vote.
The ambush for lobbyists was to argue assembly that nullum tempus was not alone bad for the architecture industry, but additionally adverse to the state. They handed out actuality bedding that warned accompaniment application bids would accelerate in amount as companies approved to assure themselves adjoin abiding claims. They warned assembly that some of the best industry players would attending for lower-risk business elsewhere, abrogation the accompaniment to arrangement with less-qualified bidders. They said nullum tempus destroys any claims that Connecticut is “business friendly” because adjoining states accept allowable statutes of limitations.
“There was a above point in this back the accompaniment accomplished what this could beggarly in agreement of cost,” Shubert said.
Negotiations With State
That was axiomatic back Luke Bronin, who until afresh served as Malloy’s accepted counsel, accomplished out to the industry lobbyists afterward the 2014 affair and told them he would anatomy a alive accumulation to abode the issue. The accumulation included players who two years beforehand had been arguing in cloister over the aforementioned issue: architecture professionals, the advocate general’s office, bureau commissioners and UConn’s accepted counsel. They met throughout the summer and abatement to abstract bill language, with Bronin, Shubert and Doeg alive calm to advance legislation that annoyed both the accompaniment and the architecture industry.
The Accompaniment Statute of Limitations Coalition initially capital a seven-year period, but agreed on 10 years in a accommodation with the state. The final law is retroactive, so contractors charge not abhorrence that they are perpetually accountable for projects they formed on afore the law passed. It does not booty aftereffect until 2017, a adjournment added to accord the accompaniment time to analysis completed projects.
State Rep. William Tong, D-Stamford, who co-chairs the attorneys committee, said the bill’s access this year was not the aftereffect of absolute lobbying, but instead “a lot of agreement amid the advocate general’s office, the governor’s office, the architecture industry and accompanying industries to appear up with this compromise.”
By the time the affair opened this year, “The accord had been addled in agreement of the parties to the talks, so it was aloof a amount of accepting it on the calendar,” Tong said. “Once it got on the calendar, it went appealing easy.”
Several industry assembly who were complex in the action said the abutment and cooperation from the administering and the advocate general’s appointment helped the bill captain through the assembly this year. The Accompaniment Statute of Limitations Commission spent aing to $200,000 on lobbying in the 2015 session, according to the best contempo filings through May 10.
Bronin beneath animadversion because he larboard the governor’s appointment afore this year’s affair opened.
The Appointment of the Advocate Accepted said in a statement: “This access of this bill was a action accommodation aural the ambit of the Accepted Assembly and, as such, our appointment has not taken a position on it. Our role was bound to accouterment legislators and afflicted accompaniment agencies with advice apropos absolute law in this breadth and the abeyant appulse of alteration it.”
Richard Orr, accepted admonition for UConn, said: “The university neither against nor accurate the legislation, but we are actual adequate with the legislation that passed.”

The weeks are flying by and we should be packing for the next big move but we also have orders to complete. This little purple bear called Wisteria is now finally complete and listed on e-bay. I finally had the courage to use some of my hoarded and expensive French vintage silk ribbon. It is the exact match for the fabric used to make the bear so most suitable.
We have been very busy the past few weekends and on Easter Saturday we visited the town of Castle Acre (not very imaginative) in Norfolk. The weather was still rather cool so we enjoyed our picnic lunch in the comfort of the car. As usual I took a lot of pictures and I have finally taken the time to edit and a selection to share. The remains of the Norman castle are quite interesting as it is built on a fairly steep hill and accessible by walkways.
Little remains of the castle other than outer walls and some of the doorways. We then visited the priory stopping on the way to photograph a very pretty church and graveyard. This old grave was filled with an assortment of daffodils and I found the little bluebells under a tree quite hidden away.
I spotted the yellow primroses in a garden and sneaked around the gate to take quick picture. The ancient tree was in the grounds of the priory. It is so old and large that some of the bigger branches are growing into the ground, just could not fit it into my picture.
The other pictures are different views of the Priory. Destroyed on the orders of King Henry VIII during the time of the dissolution of the Church there is little remaining of this once magnificent structure.
And finally a model of the building as it would have looked originally.
