The Moon

Dominating tis card is the Moon at night at the top.  The Moon gives off moonlight.  In that moonlight are nine Hebrew letters Yod falling in the formation of Neptune’s trident.  Neptune, of course is the ruling planet of Pisces.  The #9 represents the 9thSephira, Yesod – which is ruled by the Moon.

Inside the moon, we see one of The Fool’s masks. It is, somewhat, distorted, as everything in the moonlight is twisted and deceptive.

Guarding the moon are two Egyptian gods: Anubis and Seth.  Anubis is the escort of the souls of the deceased into the underworld. Seth is the God of war, chaos and trickery – as he uses deception to achieve his goals. Therefore,  The Moon is also attributed to deception.  The subconscious is often a battleground where we are at war with ourselves and this can come through in our dreams.

On the bottom of the card is VERY muddy and unsettling (wavy) waters.  It is the same waters as are seen in The Empress.  However, in The Moon – they are polluted! To emphasize the meaning of this murky Path: this is the natural energy from which our physical bodies develop in the womb. It is, thus, a process that is continual throughout our lives, as cells die and are replaced.

Through the waters we see the scarab holding the solar disk. The scarab is one of the most potent symbols of ancient Egypt, primarily symbolizing the sun, resurrection, transformation and protection.  Additionally, it represents the lowest form which will eventually evolve and emerge as the highest.

The solar disk represents the conscious mind which descends into our subconscious to confront our fears/neurosis and the things that are holding us back.

Looking up at The Moon is non other than The Fool himself – the first manifestation of the human consciousness.

The Moon is a watery Path of probation on the Tree of Life.  It is on this path that we must not only face, but also conquer the ghosts of our minds. It is the Path of animalistic instincts and desires, not being controlled by intellectual, spiritual or moral drives. This Path can bey very cruel.  It is a ‘fun-house’ mirror, if you will, that reflects back at us characteristics and aspects of ourselves we prefer not to see in the sunlight.  Yet, in order to understand them, we must face them.

In a Tarot Reading, The Moon may mean:

  • A time when something in your life is not as it appears to be. A situation that is deceiving.
  • You may have lost your way in your life and unsure about the future and which direction to take, like being lost in the dark without sign posts.
  • The Moon often represents your ‘shadow’ self a term coined by Jung to represent our subconscious or hidden self. This is harboring negativity which we may have suppressed or are not aware of.  Because of that, we need to release this destructive energy through in some way such as spending time with friends, counselling, therapies, meeting new people in a positive environment to refresh our lives.
  • Traumatic dreams.
  • Feelings from childhood or that have been repressed are having a negative impact on a current situation.
  • The Moon tends to show up what we generally ignore, refuse to see, or even deny but the step has to be taken, for without facing up to darkness our path to the Light will be that much harder.

The uptake of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) is inconsistent, despite their potential to improve the quality of health care and patient outcomes. Some guideline producers have addressed this problem by developing tools to encourage faster adoption of new guidelines. This review focuses on the effectiveness of tools developed and disseminated by guideline producers to improve the uptake of their CPGs.To evaluate the effectiveness of implementation tools developed and disseminated by guideline producers, which accompany or follow the publication of a CPG, to promote uptake. A secondary objective is to determine which approaches to guideline implementation are most effective.We searched the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care (EPOC) Group Specialised Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); NHS Economic Evaluation Database, HTA Database; MEDLINE and MEDLINE In-Process and other non-indexed citations; Embase; PsycINFO; CINAHL; Dissertations and Theses, ProQuest; Index to Theses; Science Citation Index Expanded, ISI Web of Knowledge; Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science, ISI Web of Knowledge; Health Management Information Consortium (HMIC), and NHS Evidence up to February 2016. We also searched trials registers, reference lists of included studies and relevant websites.We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cluster-RCTs, controlled before-and-after studies (CBAs) and interrupted time series (ITS) studies evaluating the effects of guideline implementation tools developed by recognised guideline producers to improve the uptake of their own guidelines. The guideline could target any clinical area.Two review authors independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of each included study using the Cochrane 'Risk of bias' criteria. We graded our confidence in the evidence using the approach recommended by the GRADE working group. The clinical conditions targeted and the implementation tools used were too heterogenous to combine data for meta-analysis. We report the median absolute risk difference (ARD) and interquartile range (IQR) for the main outcome of adherence to guidelines.We included four cluster-RCTs that were conducted in the Netherlands, France, the USA and Canada. These studies evaluated the effects of tools developed by national guideline producers to implement their CPGs. The implementation tools evaluated targeted healthcare professionals; none targeted healthcare organisations or patients.One study used two short educational workshops tailored to barriers. In three studies the intervention consisted of the provision of paper-based educational materials, order forms or reminders, or both. The clinical condition, type of healthcare professional, and behaviour targeted by the CPG varied across studies.Two of the four included studies reported data on healthcare professionals' adherence to guidelines. A guideline tool developed by the producers of a guideline probably leads to increased adherence to the guidelines; median ARD (IQR) was 0.135 (0.115 and 0.159 for the two studies respectively) at an average four-week follow-up (moderate certainty evidence), which indicates a median 13.5% greater adherence to guidelines in the intervention group. Providing healthcare professionals with a tool to improve implementation of a guideline may lead to little or no difference in costs to the health service.Implementation tools developed by recognised guideline producers probably lead to improved healthcare professionals' adherence to guidelines in the management of non-specific low back pain and ordering thyroid-function tests. There are limited data on the relative costs of implementing these interventions.There are no studies evaluating the effectiveness of interventions targeting the organisation of care (e.g. benchmarking tools, costing templates, etc.), or for mass media interventions. We could not draw any conclusions about our second objective, the comparative effectiveness of implementation tools, due to the small number of studies, the heterogeneity between interventions, and the clinical conditions that were targeted.

Love Me or Leave Me

"Love Me or Leave Me" (1955)“Whatever I am, I’m what makes you tick!”

James Cagney to Doris Day, “Love Me or Leave Me” (1955)

Doris Day and James Cagney

Day and Cagney were born to play these unforgettable characters

By Michael Hadley

After Doris Day completed her seven year contract at Warner Brothers in 1954, she became a free agent who could choose her next film from an array of offers at various studios. She ultimately accepted the lead role in a major MGM musical biography of 1920’s torch singer Ruth Etting called Love Me or Leave Me. Ruth Etting was a notable jazz vocalist who came from very humble beginnings and made it to the big time by relying on the strong-arm tactics of a small time Chicago gangster named Martin Snyder.

Snyder, also known as “The Gimp” because of a club foot, spotted Etting at a speakeasy and became her manager to launch her career. He basically bullied Chicago nightclub owners into hiring her until word got out that she was indeed a very talented singer.

The role of Ruth Etting was a huge departure for Day, who up until that point, had been typecast as the girl-next-door in a series of frothy musicals at Warner Brothers. For Day to act this role convincingly, she had to undergo a significant image transformation and traverse a far wider acting range than she had attempted before. Several sources report that Ruth Etting actually preferred Jane Powell to portray her on screen. Other sources indicate that Ava Gardner and Jane Russell were both attached to the part before Day was hired.

Day by her own admission was initially reluctant to tackle such a challenging role. She worried that audiences would not accept her playing a sexy and overtly ambitious character. She also had reservations about wearing scanty costumes and smoking and drinking in seedy nightclub settings. Fortunately, Joe Pasternak, the producer, convinced her that she brought an inherent dignity to the role that would offset the more unsavory aspects of the character. His prognostication proved to be right on the money. The role marked a huge turning point in Day’s film career. She ascended to a new level of respect in the film industry and audiences saw her in a whole new light. It was a classic case of against-type casting that paid huge dividends for the actress and the film.

The combustible Jimmy Cagney was cast first in the role of Marty (“the Gimp”) Snyder, the small time Chicago hoodlum who ran a laundry business that served lower rung Chicago nightclubs. The role fit Cagney perfectly and he urged producers to cast Doris Day opposite him. Cagney was another astute observer who saw in Day a natural gift for dramatic acting that not been tapped before. He once said that Doris Day illustrated his definition of good acting: “Just plant yourself, look the other person in the eye and tell him the truth.”

The chemistry between Day and Cagney is dynamite. There is no denying these two actors caught lightning in a bottle during their scenes together in this film. Their onscreen relationship is edgy, complex, combative and ultimately heartbreaking. Each character feeds off what the other can do for them in pure self-interest while gradually growing to care about each other in spite of the impossibility of their union.

At times, you find yourself rooting for him over Doris Day because no one is immune to desperately wanting someone or something they cannot have.”

Cagney is by all accounts one of the most dynamic actors to ever appear on screen. You cannot take your eyes off him as he manhandles anyone who tries to interfere with his master plan to pilot Ruth Etting’s career. His pitch perfect performance makes it clear that he is madly in love with Etting to the point of obsession. He also does a masterful job of conveying the false bravado and underlying insecurity of someone who seizes control to mask a pitiful lack of artistic taste and sophistication. He makes you care for this two-bit mobster as only Cagney can. At times, you find yourself rooting for him over Doris Day because no one is immune to desperately wanting someone or something they cannot have. And if you don’t find yourself repeating his delightful butchering of her last name (“What’s her name again? Ett-ling?”), you need a serious Cagney primer.

The film also boasts one of the most tuneful musical scores ever with Day doing full justice to such classics as “Ten Cents A Dance,” “Mean to Me” and “You Made Me Love You” among others. Day is at her absolute vocal peak here: she manages to honor the more subdued vocal style of Ruth Etting while simultaneously leveraging her own lustrous voice to drive home the complexity and inherent sadness of her character. She has rarely been as openly sensual in her vocal interpretations, whether swaying freely with her legs akimbo and her hands on her hips in “Ten Cents A Dance” or expressing the deep yearning of lost love in “I’ll Never Stop Loving You.” In both performances, she makes you feel the heartache and regret her choices have brought her.

Some critics have complained about the rather claustrophobic staging of the big “Shaking the Blues Away” number that marks Etting’s triumphant debut at the Ziegfeld Follies. But I think Day’s strong vocals, graceful dancing and dazzling blue dress offset any staging limitations the director, Charles Vidor, may have imposed. The viewer is fully invested at that point in seeing Day / Etting achieve crowning success and the number is a fitting first act climax. Others have expressed disappointment with the lack of Day close-ups when she sings the title tune at the end of the film. The scene begs for a poignant close-up of the woman who makes her final attempt to payback the man who got her where she is. But Vidor chose to shoot Day’s final song exclusively from Cagney’s distant perspective. My guess is he felt it was more important to underscore Cagney’s sense of loss over Day’s heartfelt vocal performance.

For the most part, the supporting characters are relegated to the sidelines while the two leads hold court center stage. Cameron Mitchell is adequate but completely overshadowed by Day and Cagney. His role as Johnny the pianist who first notices Etting’s vocal gifts and falls for her is thankless, but Mitchell does nothing to make the character noteworthy or interesting. He therefore becomes more of a plot point than a fully developed character. Robert Keith offers solid support as a talent agent and friend to both Etting and Snyder, and Harry Bellaver makes a lovable lug out of the dim-witted henchman who is hopelessly devoted to Cagney.

“Love Me or Leave Me” remains one of the most fully realized musical biographies on film. It is one of those movies you can watch over and over again without failing to be mesmerized by the potent chemistry of the leading actors. Clearly, Day and Cagney were born to play these unforgettable and timeless characters.

Assault on a (Movie) Queen: James Cagney slaps Doris – for real

 James Cagney slaps Doris Day in "Love Me or Leave Me".

James Cagney slaps Doris Day for real in the above take during the filming of “Love Me or Leave Me”- in the interests of realism and without telling her in advance. Doris is genuinely shocked but stays in character, as Cagney knew she would. You can see her shock in the top image and, as director Charles Vidor provides comfort below, it’s hard not to feel sorry for her and perhaps today such methods would be unacceptable. However, Cagney’s aim would seem to have been achieved judging by the reaction of one film critic who wrote, “When Mr. Cagney finally slaps Miss Day in the face, the audience reacts to the shameful violence with genuine and audible gasp”. Could it possibly have been a publicity stunt? It’s interesting that a Life Magazine photographer was on hand for the filming and the photographs soon made their way into the magazine, below.

Watch Life Magazine’s photo coverage of the event:

Love Me or Leave Me

Of course it wasn’t all drama, being the stars of a lavish MGM film.

In her book, Doris Day, Her Own Story, she said:

I prepared for the role by listening to all the Ruth Etting records. She had a quiet way of speaking and singing. It was not my intention to mimic her, but to suggest her style with little inflections and shadings that I picked up from the recordings.”

"Love Me or Leave Me" posterDoris Day gives a tour de force performance as Ruth Etting

By Paul E Brogan

In 1955, after seven years as a major star at Warner Brothers and a string of successful films, Doris Day began to freelance. The first project she chose was a lavish musical biography at MGM entitled, “Love Me or Leave Me”. It was the story of 20’s and 30’s chanteuse, Ruth Etting and her relationship with Marty “The Gimp” Snyder. It opened that summer to critical and box-office kudos. The well-fashioned script pulls no punches in it’s depiction of the sometimes seamy and tawdry lives of its principal characters. Etting and Snyder often used one another for their own personal gain and, for a change, the film doesn’t gloss over some of the less than savory aspects of their lives. The result is one of the best musical dramas ever committed to film.

The rise of Etting, from dance hall girl to Ziegfeld star was told amidst the settings of Chicago and New York. She meets Snyder, who wants to use her and utilizes his obsession with her in order to attain her goal – stardom. Their relationship is one that is filled with violence, jealousy, and rage, and the realism with which this is presented is unsettling. Those who like their musicals served up with a sugar coating should steer clear of this memorable classic.

Doris Day gives a tour de force performance as Etting. It’s a Doris Day that we’ve never seen before and the heartbreaking reality that she brings to every scene is unforgettable. Vocally, she sings with passion and style, dazzling with such song classics as “Shakin the Blues Away”, “Ten Cents a Dance” and “You Made Me Love You”, and the Oscar nominated, “I’ll Never Stop Loving You”. However, it is her rendition of “It All Depends on You”, accompanied by only a piano, in which she creates a lasting image. To those who have never really listened to her voice. her range,phrasing, breath control and tonal quality, not to mention the feeling that she puts into a song, will make them easily become admirers of what may be one of the finest female pop voices in music history.

James Cagney is nothing short of outstanding as Marty Snyder and his scenes with Day crackle with intensity. Cameron Mitchell as Johnny, the man Ruth loves, is also fine and MGM has spared no expense in making this a production of the highest calibre. It’s a film for the ages!

Ruth Etting

Ruth Etting and with Marty Snyder

Ruth Etting, and with Marty Snyder in Chicago.

From Great Entertainers Blogspot:
“It was in Hollywood that Ruth’s loveless marriage to Marty Snyder finally fell apart.
In 1937, Ruth fell for her accompanist, Myrl Alderman, and in a rage, the Gimp shot him. Alderman. survived, Snyder went to jail and Ruth ended up divorcing him and marrying her true love, Alderman.

The couple relocated to an eight-acre farm outside of Colorado Springs in 1938. Alderman, who was raised in Colorado Springs, operated a restaurant there for a time. For Ruth. the scandal was too much for her career to survive. She made a few attempts at a comeback but her days as America’s Sweetheart were over. Etting and Alderman remained married until his death in Denver in 1966. Ruth Etting died in 1978 and Martin Snyder died in 1981.

Ruth Etting reportedly disapproved of Day playing her. Etting had wanted Jane Powell to play her but the studio insisted on an actress with more acting ability. Not to say that Jane Powell was a bad actress, but she did not have the range that Doris Day had.

Doris Day wrote in her autobiography that she hesitated before accepting the lead in this film. Ruth Etting was a kept woman who clawed her way up from seamy Chicago nightclubs to the Ziegfeld Follies. It would require her to drink, wear scant, sexy costumes and to string along a man she didn’t love in order to further her career. There was also a certain vulgarity about Ruth Etting that she didn’t want to play. Producer Joe Pasternak convinced Day to accept the role because she would give the part some dignity that would play away from the vulgarity.

After the film was released, Doris Day was deluged with mail from fans attacking her, a Christian Scientist, for playing a lewd woman who smoked, drank, and wore scant costumes in the nightclub scenes. Day cared about everyone who was disturbed by her characterization, and she answered every piece of mail, explaining the necessity for realism, and that it was essential to separate actress Doris Day from character Ruth Etting. She felt that as a performer, she had the same responsibility to the public that a politician has to the electorate.

In 1999, Ruth Etting’s version of Ten Cents A Dance, and in February of 2005, her version of Love Me or Leave Me, were inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame.”

1 review for Harley Davidson Springer Windshield | Fits HD Detachable Compact Brackets

  1. James

    I’m happy with this replacement windshield and I rate it an 11 out of 10. The quality of materials, finish, and service is high. I purchased the clear 17″ with recurve and vent. I would recommend to anyone that is riding on the highway to buy big and get the vent. I don’t know if the recurve makes much difference, there is a little optical distortion at the bend. It isn’t noticeable after initial view. IMHO all the work to measure out looking over the windshield is overrated. I’m looking through the windshield and now I clean the bugs off the windshield and not my helmet visor. In fact, now I’m able to ride with my visor up and the vent open, so I get a little cooling wind in my face. Before, I had to ride with my visor down or the wind buffeting was shaking my fillings loose. The trade off of looking through the windshield and not a helmet visor is a good one if the windshield is clear. As for tint, I like the clear view and I use my sunglasses and helmet sun visor to adjust for sunlight. A tinted windshield to me is an unadjustable feature, which like a broken clock, is right only one time of day. I don’t drive with sunglasses when the sun goes down, so a tinted windshield isn’t helpful when I need visibility and I need others to see me. Thank you Clearview Shields. I’m happy with my purchase and your product.

Punta del Este will be racing to its home port on a huge high after claiming a win in the opening race to Portimão in Portugal.

Despite being as low as sixth in the standings earlier in the day, the Spanish Skipper of Punta del Este Skipper, Jeronimo Santos Gonzalez, used his local knowledge and, along with his crew, navigated the light winds off Portugal with precision to cross the finish line in first place at 00:45:22 UTC.

Says Sir Robin Knox-Johnston: “This has been a lesson in land-sea breezes. As the land cools off at night, the water remains warm. So you are looking for that breeze that develops between the land and the sea. It probably goes out a couple of miles, but it’s well worth looking for. And that’s obviously what the winning boat found. They came creeping by, inside the others, and here they are in first place.”

It has been an incredibly successful race overall for Punta del Este. As well as the eleven points for the win, the team will also add three bonus points to its overall tally after setting the fastest time in the Ocean Sprint.

Punta del Este Skipper Jeronimo Santos Gonzalez said: “It has been a bit of a challenging one but it feels amazing. My team has worked so hard and I am just ecstatic, just over the moon.

“I think the moment was when we went through Finisterre. We pushed ourselves so hard day and night, day and night. We won the Ocean Sprint and that kept us motivated and focused.”

Another team that saw success in the light conditions was Dare To Lead, who snared second place after finishing one hour and three seconds behind Punta del Este at 01:45:25 UTC.

Dare To Lead Skipper Guy Waites said: “It was a long, long slog today. Definitely felt like the longest day of the whole week.

“It was a great effort by the team and my mate Hugues was fantastic as well. We put a huge amount of effort in for the finish and second place is very much deserved.”

Despite leading for much of the race, Qingdao had to settle for third place after falling victim to the dying breeze off the southern coast of Portugal.

Skipper Chris Brooks said: “It was epic, hard work. We tried everything we could and it was just mother nature in the end that didn’t allow it to happen. It’s great to come third, I think it is a good foundation for Qingdao to go off and win the race.”

But while Qingdao missed out on the win, the team is still looking very good in the standings. As well as collecting nine race points for third, Qingdao also earned three bonus points in Race 1 after being the first team across the Scoring Gate.

Skipper Chris added: “Having been the first boat to score points in the race and now coming second overall, we just want to work on that and improve it and be first by the time we arrive in Punta del Este!”

The Marina de Portimão literally rolled out the red carpet for the top three teams, with the crew treated to a well-earned VIP drinks reception. As well as being able to enjoy the sun, sand and surf the Algarve is famous for, Portimão will be putting on a show, with wine tastings, museum tours, and a beachside pool Prizegiving party organised for the coming week. For more information about Portimão, see the Host Port Page.

The next stop after Portimão is the Uruguayan city, Punta del Este. After crossing their first ocean of the circumnavigation - the North Atlantic - the teams are due to arrive in the ‘St Tropez of South America’ between the 12th and 15th of October.

Continuous Deployment and Testing for Mobile Applications

Written by: Hannah Inman

Cloud Platform

3 min read

Stay connected

If you’re living or visiting in the Bay Area, please come and join us at the Silicon Valley Cloud Computing Group’s Meetup on Thursday 30 August at the Yahoo! campus in Sunnyvale: Kohsuke Kawaguchi and Mark Prichard will be talking about Automated Testing and Continuous Deployment of Mobile Apps using Jenkins. We’ll show you how to set up and manage complete end-to-end continuous testing and deployment for mobile application architectures, all managed and run by Jenkins CI using the CloudBees PaaS platform.

For this event, we’re joining forces with our friends from SOASTA, who will demo how to set up their CloudTest Mobile Jenkins plugin to do fully automated functional and touch testing of iPhone/iPad mobile applications. Whether you develop mobile apps for a living, manage mobile projects or are looking to get into this exciting and fast-growing world, this is a great opportunity to find out how leading companies tackle the challenges of continuous, truly end-to-end testing and deployment for multi-touch, gesture-based mobile applications.

What might surprise you is how little infrastructure you need to set this up: using CloudBees’ “Jenkins in the Cloud” PaaS services, you can configure build pipelines to run server-side code using CloudBees-managed resources available on demand, with iOS/XCode build and test phases running on locally-managed Mac OS systems, but all managed and controlled by a central Jenkins master. As an example, here are a couple of screenshots showing a Jenkins executor process running on my MacBook laptop and how that node appears in the Jenkins console, ready to run XCode builds:

I also highly recommend Brian Gesiak’s blog: CI for Open Source iOS Applications , which will give you a much deeper understanding of this works. Brian discusses in detail how to use the open source Kiwi and KIF frameworks for unit and functional testing, as part of an overall Jenkins build pipeline. Of course, an advantage of using Jenkins remote executors like this is that you can have slaves configured for all the different mobile devices you need to support: iOS, Android, BlackBerry as well as web-based clients.

We will also be joined by our friends at New Relic: come and ask questions and see first-hand how New Relic’s real-time web analytics and application monitoring give developers better insight into user experience and application performance, all delivered as SaaS on the CloudBees platform.

We hope to see you there – the meetup starts at 7.00pm. Please RSVP on the Silicon Valley Cloud Computing Group website here and sign up for what promises to be a very interesting session.

How to Access/Populate CloudBees MySQL DBs

Written by: Vale

Developer Zone

1 min read

Stay connected

Several users have difficulties in understanding how to access and populate a database on CloudBees.
This short page is intended to clarify things out.

Accessing a CloudBees MySql database means configuring nothing more than a normal mysql remote connection.

Therefore, a MySql DB on CloudBees can be accessed:

  • from a MySql Client (i.e. MySqlWorkbench )- configure the connection using the connection parameters specified on the DataBase Manager Page of CloudBees

  •  from within your application by code lines or initialization scripts

  • from command line using mysql commands

    i.e: populate your database running .sql scripts

    mysqldump --opt --user=[userhere] --password --host=[hosthere*]  --port=3306 [yourdatabasenamehere] < dump.sql

    (change “<” to “>” if you want to export data)

    * the host should be something similar to (the host is specified on CloudBees Database Manager page)

=] EoN [= espresso wrote:I don't remember every single word said but a fact is that a lot of players were "moaning", as you call it, about all those heli-maps following each other. Even if you don't change the map rotation, 2 rounds would accelerate map changes and therefore solve the problem too.
Hm ... sorry to insist to the fact that I cannot find any particular message(s) about heli maps following each other nor the amount of rounds ...
Just yesterday for example, the server started one of the first maps with air vehicles and due whatever reason gained more than 10 players instantly joining the game. Followed by the current order we got like hastings/irving/dart/warden/lang vei sessions going on with an average amount of 15 players being online. Out of these perhaps half played most of the maps, in between new players joined. When the map cycle turned into a city map, almost everybody left ... after a short while a few players joined the city battle known to me playing more than just a few times at Stratego and mainly joining for infantry wars only.
And besides all that: Why not stick with iD's suggestion and try those things out for 2 weeks or so and if it doesn't work change it back to its current state?
What means does not work ? At present I do not see any reason to change it.

I believe what you face here is the fact that you would like to play all different kind of maps. This of course interfiers with the way Stratego hosts the maps and cycles at present. As simple as that. In reality your "game style" does not fit to most of the players in my opinion. I repeat myself, I replied it already in the other thread what made me change to this particular style of hosting.
I think we're "over-discussing" things. After all... it's just a game. ;)
Aha ! Well I agree, however iD just requested more input yesterday and since I just returned this saturday (what I wrote already) I at least would like to give you guys a feedback. I like input, but I also like to explain where I am coming from with certain settings.
As well the current vote result of the few voices gathered say´s it all ...

lol, well, after all its just a game. sure it is, hehe. i saw too many discussions bout server settings on other servers. everyone has his own preferences, poor admins will never be able to satisfy all of those needs. plus ppl start yelling at each other (for no real reason if we try to be honest). certainly we dont want this to happen here, we r lucky that it was a 3 ppl discussion, not a 30 ppl discussion. :P

i am personally fine with a row of heli maps and a row of city or jungle maps. im a chopper-hoe so this is fine with me. just thought other players might not think the same.

but as far as repetitions r concerned i still think that 2 rounds per map would be enough and also more reasonable than 3 rounds in terms of better fairness for all. :D

30 Jun 2008, 22:13

I can see your reasons for running the server the way it is now. I can also see that you are not willing to make any changes (map cycle) or adaptions (2 instead of 3 rounds).
Hey... it was just a suggestion... it's your server. Run it the way you think it should be.

This discussion is over for me.

Thanks very much. Can you tell me what is involved in fitting and removing them - I'mm 66 and not as agile as I used to be! Which model number fits the C-Max would be a great help.

Edited by: Tony
05-08-2010 07:16 PM
lazyb They are just the cheap doughnuts that sit between the springs dead easy to put on and take off. Cost about 25 quid but really stops the rear sagging. Just found these at Halfords
Hope that helps
05-08-2010 03:58 PM
Chris I bought my 1.8tdci to tow our Avondale Mayfair 556/6 - After my Focus estate wouldnt pull it up a hill near Whitby, now that was an experience......

The C-max pulls it great.......

05-08-2010 03:20 AM
Tony What type of assisters do you use?

05-08-2010 02:41 AM
lazyb Had mine for 2 years and it tows my elddis typhoon great. One thing i do put spring assisters in whilst towing so the back doesnt droop.
05-08-2010 01:26 AM
steve~max [img]smileys/smiley20.gif[/img]I'm clad to see the c max is good for towing as that was part of the reason when we bought ours. We tow a large trailer tent so wanted something that had plenty of boot space and ok for towing as well as being a great family car. We are going away with the tent next week so looking forward to see how well it tows it.
05-07-2010 11:07 PM
Richard G With the weight on the ball a long way behind the suspension they will be somee accelerated wear for the small period you are towing but this is so short compared to the whole year that it probably makes little difference overall

05-07-2010 04:21 PM
markw Thanks Richard, I'll try this. It is the longer term wear and tear that is the issue rather than the CMax's performance as a tow car.
05-06-2010 10:36 PM
Richard G I think at one point the CMax got a tow car award from camping and caravan club
put "tow car" "cmax" into google and look at what comes up

05-06-2010 01:46 AM
markw I'minterestedin feedback from those who have used the CMax as a tow car.
I have a 04 2.0 TDCI which I've used to tow a small touring caravan for the past 5 years for about 1000mls per year. The weight of the caravan is well within the Caravan Club's 85% of kerb weight recommendation and I amfastidiousabout checking the nose weight. On paper the CMax is ideal in having the power and weight to tow whilst being a good day to day car.
However... last year I had to replace the rear shocks and this year the front suspension anchor bushes (including their tie rods). My garage says these were bothunusualevents, possibly related to towing.
So is the CMax with its Focus underpinnings just not man enough for the job, or have I been unlucky?
I'd be pleased to hear theexperiencesof others asI'm thinking about a replacement and the CMax still fits the bill on paper.

Managing Peripheral Neuropathy Pain at Home

Nerve anatomyPeripheral neuropathy, a frequent complication of diabetes, is an all-too-common problem faced by many Americans, and the numbers are growing. By some counts 2/3 of those diagnosed with diabetes will suffer nerve damage in their feet and legs extensive enough to produce symptoms of pain, tingling, burning, or numbness.

It should go without saying that, if you suffer from peripheral neuropathy, you should be seeing a podiatrist like Dr. Danciger for regular diabetic checkups and any other helpful treatments, such as laser therapy. However, we only see you so often. Managing your condition over the long term and preventing more serious complications depends on faithful, careful management at home.

Here are some crucial steps to help you manage these symptoms while you’re away from our office:

Keep blood sugar under control. Don’t slouch on this! Monitoring your glucose carefully and keeping within a normal range can keep the damage from getting worse and may even improve existing symptoms.

Eat right. It’s important you get a good mix of vitamins and minerals for your foot health, especially since circulation may be limited to your feet and ankles. Go for low-fat meat and dairy with plenty of fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

Avoid alcohol and tobacco. Both have been shown to make peripheral neuropathy worse.

Exercise, carefully. Regular exercise gets your blood flowing and may even nourish some damaged nerves partially back to health. If sensitivity loss is severe, it may be wise to avoid high-impact activities, but even regular walking can have a profoundly positive effect on pain management and prevention of future complications.

Peripheral neuropathy is a serious condition that can lead to serious consequences—even amputation—but you don’t have to let it control your life. Smart lifestyle choices, combined with care from an expert professional, can significantly relieve discomfort and improve your prognosis. Our office can provide you with the tools and treatment you need—be they orthotics, physical therapy, laser therapy, medications, or surgery—to continue living as healthy, active, and pain free as possible despite your condition.

To schedule an appointment with us in Palm Desert, CA, dial 760-568-0108 today.

Moderate and stable growth in 2020

Private consumption (85% of GDP) will benefit from increased participation and employment rates, as well as from growth in real wages owing to the low level of unemployment (3%), which is reflective of the country’s high emigration. Remittances from expatriate workers (16% of GDP) will be boosted by the excellent health of the Israeli economy (number-one source) and the slight improvement in Russia (number-two), but will be hurt by weak growth in Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom. Credit should continue to grow well, which should also encourage investment (25% of GDP). Thanks to loans and assistance from European financial organisations and the World Bank (€264 million, or 2.7% of GDP in 2019), work to connect the Moldovan and Romanian power grids is set to get underway. Foreign trade, despite featuring a recurrent deficit, should make a positive contribution to growth, as exports will outpace imports. Agri-food exports to the European Union will continue to grow thanks to free trade arrangements. Exports to Russia, which had fallen following the embargo imposed by Russia in 2013 in response to Western sanctions, have benefited since early 2019 from a reversal of the stance on five products. In addition, Russia now allows Moldovan products destined for third countries to pass through Ukraine and its territory in succession. Despite diversifying into clothing, electrical wiring and pharmaceuticals, where low production costs offset low productivity, Moldova remains dependent on the agri-food sector (19% of GDP and 34% of employment) and, therefore, on climatic conditions. The floating lei allows the central bank to focus its action on inflation, which should remain within the core target range.

Persistent deficits and a fragile banking system

In order to reactivate IMF budget support (Extended Credit Facility and Extended Fund Facility) totalling USD 179 million from 2016 to 2020, as well as EU macro-financial assistance (up to €100 million) – which was halted in 2018 and the first half of 2019 following tax giveaways in the lead-up to elections –, the new government had to adopt corrective measures equivalent to 0.6% of GDP in the form of spending cuts and increased and new taxes. Meanwhile, electricity prices were updated in the autumn of 2019. The aid is intended for investment in the social sector and under-resourced infrastructure. A full 58% of public debt is external, but is contracted with States or international organisations.

The aid has also been made conditional on efforts to clean up the financial system, which was marred by a major scandal in 2014, and improve governance. The ownership structures of the top four banks have been radically overhauled to make them more transparent. These institutions are now mainly held by foreign shareholders, including the EBRD. However, their exposure to related parties, although declining, remains significant. Non-performing loans still accounted for 11% of outstanding loans in May 2019. While supervision has improved, protection against money laundering is not perfect. Under these circumstances, the authorities have opted to limit development of the system by imposing a mandatory reserve ratio of 43% on deposits in local currency and 17% for foreign currencies.

The current account deficit is expected to remain high in 2020, due to the massive trade deficit (27% of GDP in 2018), despite remittances from expatriate workers and international budget support (3.5% expected in 2019). To finance its current account deficit and maintain its foreign exchange reserves, which are equivalent to more than 4 months of imports, the country uses IMF and EU loans with a grant component of 36%, while FDI remains limited. Accounting for 65% of GDP at end-2019, external debt is 72% private, with FDI-related loans making up one-third of this share.

Russian loan as leverage with EU, IMF

After four tumultuous months, the February 2019 elections had led to the formation of a coalition government of pro-Russian socialists (35 seats out of 101) and members of the pro-European ACUM party (26 seats) under the leadership of Prime Minister Maia Sandu (ACUM). The coalition, supported by both Westerners and Russia, looked like a marriage of convenience designed to get rid of the country's most influential and wealthy man, Vlad Plahotniuc, leader of the Democratic Party (30 seats) which provided the previous government. In November, this government was overthrown after a vote of no confidence, the Socialists having withdrawn their support. The partners did not agree on the appointment of the Attorney General. A new Prime Minister, the socialist Ion Chicu, appointed by President Dodon, a former socialist leader, has taken over the leadership of a minority government. He is waving the possibility of a Russian loan to obtain a softening of the conditions of the EU and the IMF for their support. The next presidential election will be held in the fall of 2020.

Moldova has to contend with separatist tendencies in the eastern Transnistrian region. The area, which is Russian-speaking, enjoys autonomous status and self-declared its independence as the Moldovan Republic of Dniestr in 1992. Russian forces are stationed there. The lawless region includes most of the country's heavy industry, as well as electricity production.

Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock is the true masterpiece of suspense, horror, thriller and intrigue. Long before the current crop of mundane thrillers made their way to the screens, Hitchcock already had made many films which are considered classics even to this day.

Setting the standard so high, that they are quite tough to meet, Psycho is a small attempt to recreate the same thrill and chills on the small screen. A 5 reel 25 fixed payline slot game, this is developed in collaboration with the Universal Studios.

Never Boring to Play

The iconic shower scene of the movie is the backdrop for this slot game. You will find Norman Bates, Marion Crane, keyholes, cash envelopes and the key with No.1 as the key symbols of this slot game; based on the classic 1960 movie of the same name. The card symbols from 10 to Ace are the other symbols that are seen rolling down the reels.

This NextGen powered game has 0.01 to 2.0 as the initial wagering range, to help you win the 2,500 coin jackpot. Having an RTP of 95.5% means that you have a better chance of winning and walking away from this slot game alive (atleast its better than the poor souls who died in the movie, pun intended).

Psycho tops the wilds list!

Thrilling Horror Game

The 5 reel 25 payline slot game, is never boring to play. The haunting settings, intense background score and the design layout is perfect for your suspense thriller game.

Sending chills down your spine, this amazing slot game, has the rather tame looking Wild symbol to substitute the rest of the symbols. There is a reward for landing 5 of the symbol on the reels, and winning the 1,250 coins. The wilds will give a multiplier of upto 20x times of the staked bet.

Slot Game with More Money

You can trigger up to 20 free spins, whenever 3 or more of the scattered House symbol appear anywhere on the reels. You can win up to 2,500 coins for landing 5 of the symbols on the reels.

It’s during the free spins, that the Wild symbol really shows its true colours! The more number of wild substitution and wins that you land during the free spins, the multiplier will increase accordingly. There are the 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20 and 40 times the staked bet that you can win during the free spin.

The gamble feature is yet another way to dash off from this slot game with more money. You can double or quadruple your wins by correctly guessing the card color or the card suit.

Psycho does justice to the movie theme with its well designed layout and sound track that brings back the old thriller feel to the game. Get your senses knocked off with this spooky slot game.

Could Blockchain Improve Football Clubs Financial Stability?

Place/Date: Liechtenstein - May 25th, 2018 at 6:57 pm UTC · 3 min read
Contact: Niv Tal, Source: United Fans

According to reports, the club is in real danger of being banned from UEFA due to the breaching of the financial fair play rule. With £200 million plus interest in the hole (due on October,) the club will potentially go through bankruptcy protection procedures.

Which raises the question: How can a highly successful club, with decades of history and success, be capable of such wrong doings and mismanagement? A.C Milan is not the only club to be in the red. In fact, an approximate 80% of clubs worldwide are in financial difficulties and in huge debt.

United Fans is a blockchain startup for the football industry looking to bring a solution to the budget shortages. It’s an interesting coincidence that they recently signed with former Milan footballer and a FIFA World Cup holder.  Gianluca Zambrotta.

Zambrotta said during the signing event:

“I feel it is the first time that a technology like this can really make a difference for so many clubs worldwide. I think I know in which clubs we need to start implementing it.”

Through the United Fans platform, football fans will be able to decide on issues such as a player transfer or a coach recruitment, while backing that decision financially. Team managements will be able to improve decision making, using crowd wisdom.

It’s a perfect merge of fan unity and a resource of fresh funds. If fans feel like their voices matter, then they will take the necessary steps to help keep the club’s finances in the green.

Moreover, the use of smart contracts will ensure that the money raised (crowdfunding feature) is used solely for the purpose it was intended, and if a voted decision is not executed by management, then all funds are returned to their respective holders.

Additional features in the platform include the purchase of cheaper game tickets & merchandise, and the ability for fans to reward football players after a game. And here is the best part: their token that will power the platform is called Goal Coin!

With Gianluca Zambrotta added the team and Italy being one of the top countries for the use of the United Fans platform, there is great potential in helping disrupt football in Italy but also European clubs overall. Fans need to be involved with the clubs they dearly love, and management needs to make ends meet. The two parties will work hand in hand.

Understanding gold and hallmarks when buying vintage and antique Jewellery

Whether you are buying a ring for yourself or a gift for someone else, the different types of gold and what the hallmarks mean can be confusing. It’s a good idea to have a handle on the basics so you feel confident and comfortable in your purchase. This knowledge, combined with a trust in the source you are buying from, and the comfort in knowing that you can return and be refunded on an item should allow you the freedom to choose and buy what you love. Most online shops will furnish you with extra information and photographs if requested and it is important that you do so.

What is the difference between 24k gold, 18k gold, 14k gold, 9k gold,  What is gold filled, gold plated and gold vermeil Jewellery?

Most people understand that gold jewellery is not 100% gold. Gold is measured out of 24 parts, so gold when it is 100% or 24 parts out of 24 is too soft for jewellery so it is mixed with other metals. The colour and toughness of the gold changes depending on what metal it is mixed with. The common carats of gold are 18k which is 18 parts of gold out of 24, therefore  75%, 14k which is 14 parts of gold out of 24, therefore 58.5%, 9k which is 9 parts of gold out of 24,therefore  37.5%.

You often see these marked as 750, 585 and 375 which is simply another way of denoting the gold purity.

We often see less expensive vintage gold pieces described as gold filled, gold plated, gold vermeil and gilt Jewellery, but what is the difference?

These are all versions of gold plated metal with different thickness’s and qualities of gold. Gold Filled Jewellery was invented in 1817 but became popular in the 1930's when it became regulated. Gold Filled is jewellery that is fused with a thick layer of gold,  5% is actual gold, this thick layyer is bonded onto a mix of other metals. It will have a 12kt or 14kt stamp but this refers to the gold layer and not to the whole piece. Rolled gold is made in a similar way however there is less gold than in gold filled. Gold plated Jewellery: is made from a base metal with a very thin layer of gold, electro-plated onto it, the layer tends to come off over a few months especially when rubbed or worn a lot. It looks discoloured and can tarnish quite quickly. The gold is only about 1% of the piece. Gold Vermeil is silver jewellery that has been electro-plated with a thicker layer of gold than gold plating but less than gold filled. It can also be called silver gilt!  Like gold filled Jewellery in time the gold will lose it’s lustre and the piece will dull however if looked after it can last many years.

Will my antique white gold ring stay white?

When an alloy (metal) such as copper is mixed in with yellow gold it makes the gold – rose gold in colour, and when the gold is mixed with zinc, platinum, palladium or other white metals it makes the yellow gold appear more white. To complicate matters, white gold has then been plated with rhodium to brighten the whiteness as it is not completely white when a major percentage is actually yellow gold. If you think about it in 18k gold, the gold content is 75% of the total gold piece, the remaining 25% is the white metals. You may buy an antique or vintage white gold ring that has been repolished and re-plated only to notice that it looks a bit less-white or yellow after a year. There isn't anything wrong with the ring but it is a good idea to re-plate your white gold ring every year or so, this is an inexpensive process that can be done in a Jewellers.

White gold became popular in the art deco period in the 1920's when there was a scarcity of platinum. There was a lot of experimentation with mixing the yellow gold with different formulas of white metals to reach white gold.

Hallmarking Systems:  Hallmarking is the oldest form of consumer protection and has been in existence since the middle ages. There are separate but overlapping hallmarking systems in most countries however the French is considered the most complex hallmarking system. I’m going to focus mainly on the British hallmarking system and it’s elements as a lot  of the antique and vintage Jewellery that we encounter is British, at least half having been assayed in the Birmingham assay office. I’ll give a short overview on US, French and Italian systems.  The history and development of hallmarking is really interesting but while it is far from essential to have a knowledge on all the different marks, a grasp of  main hallmarks is helpful as you can identify yourself where a ring was made, assayed and the year of it’s make.

British Hallmarking system: There are four main hallmarks on British Antique and vintage Jewellery as well as some additional marks that can be also be found on pieces.  The leopard’s head was the very first hallmark to be struck on silver and gold in the 13th century in 1238.

This is a lovely example of a rose gold keepers ring with clear hallmarks for 9ct, Birmingham and the date letter 1905-1906. To see more interesting antique gold and rose gold bands follow this link:

Maker’s Mark:This is usually two letters that denote the maker's mark. This was the first hallmark introduced in 1363 after the leopards head. The maker’s mark was added to prevent anyone reproducing the leopard’s head and marking it on silver or gold, this mark identified the maker of the item of silver or gold. From here onwards there were two marks.

Date Letter: In 1478 another mark was introduced : the date letter. At this time it was decided that Goldsmiths had to bring their work to the ‘goldsmith’s hall’ where wardens ‘marked’ the metal. This was to stop pieces made from inferior metal being stamped with the leopard's head. The name 'hallmarking' originates from 'marking' in the 'hall'.It was at this point also the leopard's head was given a crown. Examples of date letters seen below, it is really important to identify the shape of the surrounding punch, as these vary in form. If you get that wrong you can get the year wrong!

Examples of date letter hallmarks.

Town Mark: From 1701 centres around England could mark silver and gold so the town mark was introduced and marked on silver and gold.

Below are examples of town marks for London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh.

Gold Fineness: The Metal Purity hallmark is denoted by numbers, sometimes using both the numbers out of 1000 e.g 750 for 18 carat, and also the number out of 24 e.g 18.Historically Gold and silver were marked with the same marks from 1300 until 1798, when 22 carat was then introduced. In 1854, 15, 12 and 9 carat gold purity standards were introduced. In 1932, 18 carat gold was introduced and 15 and 12 carat golds were discontinued. If you identify a piece of British gold by it’s town mark and it is 15 carat gold, if there is no date letter then you know that it was made between 1854 and 1932.

Duty marks were stamped on items between 1784 to 1890, the hallmark being the head of the monarch. This stated that tax had been paid on the item. Additional marks include the Brittania mark for silver, an imported ware mark and convention marks.

The Irish Hallmarking System: The first examples of silver and gold with Dublin hallmarks are from 1637, the hallmarks are a crowned harp, a maker’s mark and a date letter. In 1730-1 the Hibernia hallmark was added to show that duty had been paid and in 1807 the Hibernia duty mark was replaced by the monarch’s head. In the   17th and 18th century Cork and Limerick silver was marked with a castle. Cork sometimes had a ship on it. These were often repeated twice and the maker’s mark was also. The word sterling is also found on Cork and Limerick Silver.

American Hallmarking system  U.S.A doesn’t have assay offices the way European countries do. Historically there is no system of hallmarking. From 1906 a purity fineness mark was marked on Jewellery,  the maker by stamping an item with a fineness mark was taking responsibility for the purity, there was no requirement to mark it by Jeweller. In 1961 it became law for a trademark to be stamped on items. This is in the form of either a trademark or a family name. American Jewellery is usually 14k, it can be differentiated by the letter K for Karat, as it’s represented by a c (carat) elsewhere.

French Hallmarking system:  The French have a historically complex hallmarking system. Gold and silver purity is  indicated by different symbols such as: animals, birds and insects. The law in France dictates that all gold Jewellery is made out of gold, with a purity not less than 18 carat. However items that are exported can be made from lower carat golds such as 9 and 14. Small items of Jewellery can have a maker’s mark and purity mark. From 1838, the Eagle’s head indicated gold purity of 18k and a boar’s head or a crab’s head indicated silver fineness of 800.  Maker’s mark : From 1797 the maker’s mark was indicated by a lozenge shape with the initials of the makers mark within it. Prior to this it was in a crowned shield. Date letters were added in France in 1427.

Italian hallmarks  From 1872-1933 Italian silver was marked with a crowned head, and a purity symbol in decimal form for example .800 would have been common for silver. Before this Italy wasn’t unified, it was a myriad of kingdoms and principalities. The maker’s mark was stamped in a lozenge shape with the sides cut off and within this was the makers initials on one side and the province initials on the other. From 1934 to 1944 ‘fasces’ the symbol for the fascist party,  a bundle of sticks, divided the maker’s mark and the province initials. From 1968 the hallmark developed to what it is today a rectangular stamp with pointed sides with the makers mark and province stamped inside.

What if there is no hallmark on your Jewellery?

There were lots of reasons that Jewellery might not be hallmarked. Many pieces of Jewellery have been repaired or rings have been re-sized thereby erasing the hallmarking. Lots of Jewellery was never hallmarked in the first place despite there being legal requirements. Some pieces were considered too small to be marked. A lot of Victorian and Edwardian lockets only have a 9 carat stamp and some have nothing at all. Below is a beautiful example of an art nouveau rose gold locket from 1910 with only a stamp "9ct back and front"-

Victorian rose and yellow gold locket with a stamp for 9 carat back and front.

To see more lockets follow this link: https://www.collected.ie/shop/27650083/lockets-charms

It could be an American piece that didn’t have any legal requirements for hallmarking jewellery up until 1906. A piece of Jewellery can be appraised and dated on other factors such as the cut of the diamonds or gemstones, the type of setting, or a combination of factors such as the style of the piece, colour of metal and cut of stones.

Meet our Principal

We live in a diverse and ever changing world. Globalisation, economic and social reform as well as technological advancement have transformed the world we know. As educators we have a responsibility to prepare our young people for the world they will be living in. As Louise Stoll so aptly put it “we are not educating our children for our past but their future.”

I am extremely proud to be leading Columba College as we embrace these challenges by offering opportunities for personal development through both curricular programmes and co-curricular activities which equip students to succeed in the world beyond school. Our aim is to instill in every student a love of learning and an understanding that education matters. We set high standards for ourselves and support our students to achieve their best in all areas of school life.

A good education is the lightest thing we can carry with us through life and the one thing no-one can steal from us. As we peer into a future that we cannot predict, as we eagerly (or not so eagerly) grasp the latest technology, as we grapple with climate change and inequalities, as we talk casually of working electronically and globally, that is what we need to remember.

I firmly believe Columba College offers a quality education for your child and I warmly encourage you to see what this special school has to offer.

Advice NI Offer Free EU Settlement Scheme Support Services

29 August 2019

A hand writing words on a screen | CRC NI

Advice NI is supporting EU citizens and their families to apply for pre-settled and settled status.

Under the Government’s EU Settlement Scheme, EU, EEA, Swiss citizens and their families must make an online application by 30th June 2021 if Brexit goes ahead and by December 2020 in a no deal scenario.

Settled status allows an individual to:

  • continue to work, live and study in the UK for as long as they like after Brexit
  • access public services i.e. healthcare, education
  • access  public funds i.e. pensions
  • obtain British citizenship if they meet the requirements.

Advice NI, with the support of local advice agencies and the Migrant Centre NI, are providing practical support to vulnerable or at risk EU citizens assisting them with proof of identity, eligibility, suitability and completing applications. They have set up a free regional, multi-lingual service to help people, including a Freephone helpline, access to face to face advisers and information and awareness sessions which are scheduled throughout the country.

It is important people check if they are required to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme and they get the support they need to make the application which is now free.

The mountains of Valsassina, Italy

Medium road route

Medium road route

Ride distance: 60 km
Elevation gain: 900 m

For more information: Click on the map below to go to its interactive map with highlights of the tour and to download the GPX.

A ferry ride from the Bellagio waterfront to the picturesque village of Varenna on the east side of the lake begins this 60 kilometer ride with 900 vertical meters of climbing. A little north of Varenna we'll turn inland for a gradual 5 kilometer climb out of the Lake Como basin then drop into the Valsassina, the valley nestled between Lake Como's Grigne mountains and the pre-Alps to the northeast. This valley is green for a reason, it's the home to many farms and shops that produce some of the finest products in Italy. Our friends at Carozzi Formaggi make some of the best cheese in the world. Hungry? Let's stop for lunch and fill our jersey pockets with our favorites to take home.

Valsassina: Valsassina

As you are winding along the quiet bike path that runs through the valley, look up and you'll see craggy peaks dotted with snow fields and huge mountains dissected with local ski lifts. Unknowingly you're gradually increasing your elevation to the high passo above the town of Lecco and the most spectacular descent to the lake. Steep granite cliffs and perhaps some paragliders greet you on the way down to Lecco, where you can stop at a cafè before finishing the ride back to Bellagio. Bellissimo!

Valsassina: Valsassina

This ride is perfect for: Everyone! Longer than the Onno-Ghisallo route, the terrain is still easy to navigate for both road cyclists and those on e-bikes. The Valsassina's dramatic valley and proximity to the Grigne mountains are a wonderful experience for visitors to Italy.

Note: At least one ferry is required for this ride so allow for extra time and money for the crossings.
