<p>I'm a sucker for an exhibition opening. Promise me Pinot Noir, cheese and crackers, and I'm there. It helps, of course, if the exhibition is interesting, so I won the trifecta last night at Milly Sleeping in Carlton where <a href="http://nationaldesigncentre.com/Default.aspx?MenuCode=ME0244&#38;ValuePath=ME0182/ME0206/ME0244" target="_blank">Circuit</a> was officially launched. This multi-location exhibition is loosely based on a quote by Plato, to the effect that '<span><span class="paragraph"><em>the Muses gave us the arts not for "mindless pleasure</em>" but <em>'as an aid to bringing our soul-circuit… into order and harmony with itself</em>.' </span></span></p>
<p>I really like this idea, although I must admit I'm fond of a bit of mindless pleasure now and again too. (Pass on the new Mike Myers film, though – jeez, talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas. But <a href="http://www.yourmoviestuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/the-love-guru_justin-timberlake.jpg" target="_blank">Justin Timberlake</a> in undies gets two enthusiastic thumbs up.)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3124/2695651974_169e9c6ebe.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p>The exhibition features a number of creations from local designers, such as <a href="http://www.boyonbike.com/" target="_blank">Boy on Bike</a> (who we <a href="http://ohwhatlarks.wordpress.com/2008/05/18/boy-on-bike/" target="_blank">blogged</a> about not long ago) and <a href="http://www.romancewasborn.com/" target="_blank">Romance Was Born</a>, incorporating the idea of Plato's soul circuit (or circuits in general, as it seems). It's also running at two other locations, <a href="http://www.sincegrey.com/" target="_blank">Since Grey</a> in Fitzroy and <a href="http://cottageindustrystore.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Cottage Industry</a>, Fitzroy. Nice write-up on the exhibition <a href="http://misspenpen.blogspot.com/2008/07/circuit.html" target="_blank">here</a> from Cottage Industry.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The obvious thing would be to take photos whilst stood up, so generally between 5-6ft. It's amazing how a shift in perspective can improve a photo though, just by crouching down you can create a completely different photo, or even remove unsightly background distractions. Here are two examples from Druids Bend, Brands Hatch.</p>
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Standing up"]<img src="http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/153363464-S.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" />[/caption]
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="Crouched down"]<img src="http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/330338924_9EcoK-S.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="267" />[/caption]
<p style="text-align:left;"> This also applies to the locations you choose around a circuit, generally spectators enjoy the action from banking so they can see as much of the circuit as possible, however as a general rule motorsport shots look better from the lowest angle you can find.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scientists at the University of Sydney have developed a switch that would allow the internet to become 60 times faster than current networks. Taking four years to complete, the switch is created using a small scratch on a piece of glass. The scratch will mean almost instantaneous error free access to the internet anywhere in the world, announced by Centre for Ultra-high bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) at the Opto-Electronics and Communications Conference (OECC) held in Sydney this July.</p>
<p>"This is a critical building block and a fundamental advance on what is already out there. We are talking about networks that are potentially up to 100 times faster without costing the consumer any more," says Federation Fellow Professor Ben Eggleton, Director of CUDOS which is based within the School of Physics at the University of Sydney. The scratched glass is actually a photonic integrated circuit that has the capacity to increase the slow rate of information carried by optical fibres.

<description><![CDATA[For the Institute Of Contemporary And Emerging Worship Studies, St. Stephens University.  Essentials]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>For the I<a href="http://www.ssu.ca/theinstitute/">nstitute Of Contemporary And Emerging Worship Studies</a>, <a href="http://www.ssu.ca/">St. Stephens University</a>.  <a href="http://www.ssu.ca/theinstitute/online">Essentials Blue Online Worship Theology Course</a> with <a href="http://danwilt.com/">Dan Wilt</a></em></strong></p>
<p>It's not that the prosperity gospel is wrong, the preachers who preach health and wealth use scriptures that seem to be right, but somehow the reality of it all doesn't fit what goes on in our lives.  The wealthiest and healthiest of people in the world aren't even Christians, which goes against the core of this type of interpretation.  But it's a hard case to argue, on the surface it seems to be true.  However, when we look at the life of Jesus it just doesn't fit.  When we look at the Disciples and the Apostles and the New Testament Church it doesn't fit.  When we look at our lives it doesn't quite line up all the time with all the claims.  Something is not quite right.</p>
<p>It's not that the prosperity gospel is wrong, but really it's incomplete.  It's asking all the wrong questions.  <a id="ri_b" title="Tom Wright" href="http://www.ntwrightpage.com/">Tom Wright</a> puts it this way in <a id="hciw" title="Simply Christian" href="http://www.amazon.com/Simply-Christian-Christianity-Makes-Sense/dp/0060507152/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1215752961&#38;sr=8-1">Simply Christian</a>:  <em>Many of the questions we ask God cant be answered directly, not because God doesn't know the answers but because our questions don't make sense.  As C. S. Lewis once pointed out, many of our questions are, from God's point of view, rather like someone asking, "Is yellow square or round?" or "How many hours are there in a mile?" (Ch 9, 5<span class="misspell">th</span> paragraph).</em></p>
<p>Asking for material possessions isn't out of the question for God, we are supposed to pray about our needs and bring our <a id="hpz6" title="requests" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%202:1;&#38;version=47;">requests</a> before God, he will <a id="y75l" title="provide for our needs" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2037:25;&#38;version=47;">provide for our needs</a>.  In fact it is implied that we pray assuming that God wants to supply for our every need.  And it's certain that God did bless many of his servants with great wealth (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, etc).  Asking the question, does God want to bless us and make us rich?, is not really a good question.  A better question would be, How can I worship God to my full potential?</p>
<p>Shooting for our full potential of worship in every aspect of life, presupposes that there is a reason to do so.  God does deserve it, and that in itself is enough, but there is more.  God actually has a plan.  He will one day make everything right.  He will bring about true justice, spirituality, relationships, and beauty (the four echoes in Simply Christian).  As we understand what God has done (through the Cross and the Resurrection) and what God will do (covering the earth with his glory the way the waters cover the sea) our worship begins to reflect this in as many creative and unique ways as there are people.</p>
<p>Living lives of intentional theology and maturity leads to; an end to selfish desires, of service to others, and holy living.  These acts of worship spring from the Cross, as we crucify our flesh, and learn to walk in the spirit.  Our growth and maturing never stops, as we are <a id="y" title="transformed continually into his likeness" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%203:18;&#38;version=47;">transformed continually into his likeness.</a></p>
<p>Our whole lives reflect both the Cross, it's death of the sinful man, and the resurrection,  new creation.  As a new creation we are given a fresh start, but as the "fresh start" implies, it's only just the beginning.  But the beginning of what?  Even the act of Christian maturing has a purpose, and not just so we can be great Christians leading fulfilling lives enjoying Gods blessings. We do get that, but there's more.</p>
<p>When Jesus rose from the dead he inaugurated the beginning of the end of the old age and the beginning of the age of the Kingdom of God.  It continues when we are saved and God's Spirit brings life to our spirit.  It continues as our lives are redeemed from sinful acts and bondage's.  It will be finalized when Jesus comes to make everything right.</p>
<p>Our job as Christians should be to find ways to celebrate both the past and the future. The circuit is complete when we include both the Cross and the coming of God's Kingdom.  Our worship intentionally displays to the world what God is going to do.  They get snap-shot of God's Kingdom as they watch our lives (families, marriages, and friendships), view our art, watch as we heal the sick and raise the dead, listen to our songs and music, become our employers/employees, see us concerned and caring for the poor and oppressed, and otherwise interact with us on a daily basis.</p>

<p>Locatie: Marea Irlandei, Marea Britanie</p>
<p>Event: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man_TT#Snaefell_Mountain_Course" target="_blank">Isle of Man TT</a></p>
<p>Activitate: 1907 (28 Mai)</p>
<p>Tip de cursa: Time-trial</p>
<p>Desfasurare: Traseul "Snaefell Mountain Course" (aka "Mountain Course")</p>
<p>Lungime circuit: 60.72 km</p>
<p>Punct de plecare: Douglas (capitala Isle of Man)</p>
<p>Snaefell Mountain Course: Sunt estimate undeva peste 200 de curbe in acest traseu, dintre care aproximativ 60 dintre ele au primit si nume.</p>
<p>Traseul are parte si de accesul publicului in anumite perioade, chiar si in timpul competitiei, unde este arhicunoscuta ziua numita "Mad Sunday", in care oricine (apt de a conduce) poate parcurge ultima portiune de circuit (Ramsey-Douglas) ce porneste din munti si se opreste in oras. In ultimii ani insa este intens discutat acest acces, cu intentii serioase de restrictionare intrucat circuitul ce strabate portiunea de relief montan prezinta drumuri serpuite si inguste, delimitate in pereti de piatra (stanca), traseul devenind foarte dificil chiar si pentru motociclistii experimentati.</p>
<p>De altfel, din 1907 si pana in anul trecut (2007), s-au petrecut <span style="color:#ff0000;">224</span> de accidente fatale (asigurand in fiecare an moartea a unul sau mai multi <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">concurenti</span>). <em>Acestia au ajuns acum o simpla <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Snaefell_Mountain_Course_fatal_accidents" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">statistica</span></a>.</em></p>
<p>Mai jos, *Richard "Milky" Quayle* a avut un noroc fantastic intr-un accident din care 9/10 ori era facut bucati. E printre putinii care au parte de norocul asta pe un circuit care nu iarta nicio greseala.</p>

<p>In final, eu sper sa ajung intr-o buna zi pe acest traseu (poate si cu niste prieteni), sa-l iau macar la o tura (ca liber motociclist desigur).</p>

<description><![CDATA[Je vous ai montré, il y a de cela plusieurs mois, des photos de l&#8217;A-55, entre l&#8217;entrée]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Je vous ai montré, il y a de cela plusieurs mois, des photos de l'A-55, entre l'entrée nord du pont Laviolette, à Trois-Rivières, et l'A-20, à Sainte-Eulalie.  Nous savons tous que l'A-55 est en multiplex avec l'A-20 sur environ 37 kilomètres, soit de ce point jusqu'à la hauteur de la ville de Drummondville.  C'est à l'ouest de cette ville que reprend l'A-55, vers le sud-est, en direction de la ville de Sherbrooke.</p>
<p>Dans un passé lointain, c'est à dire environ une trentaine d'années, une partie de ce tronçon de l'A-55 s'est déjà nommé A-51.  La désertion de tous les chantiers autoroutiers, au profit du transport en commun, entreprise par le gouvernement péquiste de René Lévesque, a donc signé un arrêt de mort à l'A-51, ainsi qu'au tracé original que devait suivre l'A-55.  Une partie de celui-ci, de l'A-20 jusqu'au village de Saint-Albert-de-Warwick, fut d'ailleurs recyclé en A-955.  Mais aujourd'hui, je vais m'attarder sur le tronçon qui relie Drummondville à Sherbrooke.</p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/095i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-729" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/095i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Quand on roule sur l'A-20, en direction ouest, on arrive à ce point, juste à la sortie vers l'A-55 sud.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">Les trois photos suivantes furent prises en mouvement, et les images peuvent sembler déformées.  C'est normal.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;"><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/096i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-730" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/096i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">L'échangeur A-20/A-55 sud n'est pas complet; à preuve, le viaduc, qui passe au-dessus de l'A-20, n'a qu'une seule voie par direction, ce qui est plutôt rare, pour un échangeur autoroutier.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/098i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-731" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/098i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Je me dirige lentement vers la "séparation" des chaussées.  On sait que l'autoroute fut construite en super-2, entre 1971 et 1980 pour l'ensemble de la première chaussée, puis elle fut doublée au fur et à mesure des budgets, et des pressions politiques.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/091i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-733" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/091i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Si l'on regarde dans l'autre sens, on voit bien que les haut-mâts, pour l'éclairage, qui sont normalement au centre, entre les deux chaussées, sont à droite de la chaussée.  C'est pas vraiment normal, pour une autoroute.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/099i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-732" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/099i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Ici, nous sommes en plein vis-à-vis de la chaussée nord, qui vient s'aligner le long du muret, pour l'échangeur.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/087i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-734" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/087i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Regardant à nouveau en direction nord (je suis en train de vous étourdir, avouez!), on voit bien le passage de l'autre chaussée, là où les arbres sont abattus.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/086i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-735" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/086i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Le kilomètre 126, en direction nord, là où va bientôt commencer ce que j'appelle "l'entonnoir", c'est à dire l'endroit où l'on perd une voie, passant de deux à une seule.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/081i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-736" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/081i.jpg" alt="" width="596" height="447" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Cette photo montre une vue sur presque deux kilomètres.  Prise du viaduc de la rue Saint-Pierre (sortie 125), c'est la finale de l'autoroute, en direction nord.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/100i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-737" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/100i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Comme le disait Edward Rémy, à l'époque où il faisait les actualités artistiques, à Télé-Métropole (ça ne me rajeunit pas!), "c'est officiel, c'est confirmé", l'A-55, à cet endroit, s'appelle "Autoroute Joseph-Armand-Bombardier".  Photo prise en direction sud, dans la courbe vers la sortie 122 (boulevard Jean-de-Brébeuf).</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/104i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-738" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/104i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">La chaussée sud de l'ancienne A-51 fut la première des deux à être ouverte; elle fut donc celle où la circulation se faisait à contresens.  À preuve, cette petite tache jaune, sous la ligne blanche actuelle.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/111i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-739" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/111i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Voici un autre vestige de l'ancienne A-51, devenue A-55, quelque part dans les années 1970.  À l'époque de la super-2, on avait construit les viaducs, mais on n'avait fait que des mini-bretelles, afin d'accéder à l'autoroute, ou d'en sortir.  On voit ici une ligne restante de la mini-bretelle qui menait à la route Ployart (sortie 103).  De nos jours, cette route, comme toutes les autres routes </span></em><em><span style="color:#993366;">desservies</span></em><em><span style="color:#993366;">, d'ailleurs, l'est par un échangeur plus moderne, et plus sécuritaire.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/114i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-740" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/114i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Depuis le kilomètre 97, on voit la sortie de la halte routière qui mène au moulin à laine d'Ulverton.  Comme on peut le voir, cette sortie ne comporte aucune indication.  Pourtant, en direction nord, la sortie 98 est bien indiquée; elle mène à la route Mooney, qui va vers le village d'Ulverton.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/108i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-741" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/108i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">À l'époque de la super-2, quand on roulait vers le nord, on pouvait accéder à la halte routière du moulin à laine d'Ulverton par une intersection à niveau.  Maintenant que l'on peut sortir au chemin Mooney, l'intersection a été démantelée, et le petit bout de chemin menant à la halte fût fermé.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/117i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-742" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/117i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Dernière sortie avant d'atteindre les limites territoriales de la nouvelle ville de Sherbrooke, la sortie 71 mène vers la jolie ville de Windsor, ville avec laquelle a fusionné la municipalité de Saint-Grégoire-de-Greenlay, dont le nom fut enlevé du panneau.</span></em></p>
<p>Malgré ce que certains prétendent, je persiste à croire que le point de raccordement prévu de l'A-55 et de l'ancienne A-51 se trouve à Windsor, et non pas à Richmond.  Ce qui me permet de croire à cette théorie est l'emplacement, et l'orientation, du boulevard du Conseil, à Asbestos.  Vous allez me demander "c'est quoi, le rapport?"  Et je vais vous l'expliquer.</p>
<p>D'abord, le boulevard du Conseil date de 1977, soit plus ou moins un an après la prise du pouvoir par le gouvernement péquiste.  Ce boulevard est composé de deux chaussées distinctes, et constitue une voie de contournement de la ville.  De plus, il ne comporte aucun point d'accès, mis à part les intersections des rues qui le croisent.  Il est donc possible de croire que ce soit une partie de l'A-55 originale, mais comme le nouveau gouvernement a fait cesser les travaux de l'autoroute, la ville a probablement dû demander au MTQ de lui remettre l'emprise, afin d'en faire un boulevard.  Il faudra enquêter afin d'avoir le fin mot de l'histoire.</p>
<p>Ensuite, si vous regardez une carte montrant le relief de la région située entre Asbestos, Richmond, et Windsor, comme celle disponible sur Google Maps, par exemple, vous vous rendrez compte que le relief entre Asbestos et Windsor est beaucoup moins accentué que celui entre Asbestos et Richmond.  De plus, le passage par Windsor représente une ligne plus directe pour relier Asbestos et Sherbrooke.  Mais tout cela demeure également de la théorie, parce que le gouvernement actuel n'a aucun projet, dans ses cartons, pour remettre en circuit le tracé original de l'A-55.</p>
<p>Bon, voyons voir ce qui me reste de photos.  J'ai en réserve celles des divers chantiers de l'A-15, dans la région des basses Laurentides, ainsi que, tenez-vous bien, les premières images de la blogue-mobile!</p>
<p>C'est donc à suivre...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">How troubled is the fact of choosing between "tú" and "vos"?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">I consider that dilemma to be much more insignificant than it is generally thought:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Firstly, because there are formal differences in only two tenses: <em>Indicative present</em> and <em>imperative mood -</em>also in <em>subjunctive present</em> but is less usual<em>-</em>; and lastly, because no matter which form you choose, it does not represent an problem understanding or being understood by other Spanish speakers from other countries. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Which are these differences? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Indicative present:</span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">- No irregularities, stress on the last sylable, change of the ending of -ir verbs.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">So, if you consider the whole scene, it is not a big deal at all.</span></span> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Whom would I suggest to learn one form and whom, the other one?</span></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Well, I would encourage people on vacation to learn or use "tú" conjugation, specially the ones who have already learnt it and who are staying here for little time and/or only for tourism; whereas, I would totally recommend "vos" forms to the following people:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">- Tango lovers (Tango would not exist without "vos" and viceversa).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">- The ones who move BA to study or work.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;">- People who want to connect with locals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">- Or simply too lazy students ("vos" is much more regular than "tú").</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Arial;">Is one form more correct than the other one? (I will go into it in depth later)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>

<p>Couple days of off Thursday and Friday last week. So started weekend a couple of rides behind and was full of good intentions to make up over the weekend. But in the end I managed 3 rides this weekend; with a short circuit ride yesterday evening, a longer ride this morning (a repeat of last Saturday's ride) and finished with a 10 lap circuit ride this evening.</p>
<p>Feeling a little apprehensive as have done zero work this weekend and have a great deal to do over the next three days. Will make list tonight.</p>
<p>Hoping to ride a couple of mornings this week, as long as the weather is kind. This morning's long ride was almost entirely done through the rain</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="entry">
<p>No Furbies were harmed in the making of this post as a cheap imitation Furby was used instead. Circuit bending is basically taking something electrical that makes sound and rewire it to allow you to warp the sound coming out. It is something that anyone can do but the more you practice the better and cleverer your creations will get. I am just a beginner and have been wanting to give this a bash for a while now. This frightening Furby wannabe was just crying out to be dismantled so what better way to start the learning process.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.novemberfive.co.uk/journalimages/tinkering/furby1.jpg" alt="" />The first thing I did was to strip the little chap of all his fur. I love the fact that he has a real “one is not amused” look about him when hes just in his birthday suit.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.novemberfive.co.uk/journalimages/tinkering/furby2.jpg" alt="" />Then once you have drilled down to the circuitry, take a piece of wire and start connecting random points on the board until you get some reaction from the Furby. It took me about 10 minutes to pick out the points I needed to concentrate on and by the end of it had managed to work out the two points that when connected with my piece of wire sped all his movements up and distorted his speech in a comical manner.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.novemberfive.co.uk/journalimages/tinkering/furby3.jpg" alt="" />One would then solder in a switch to allow you to turn this functionality on and off when you’ve re-assembled the Furby but I nearly cooked the circuits causing some components to smoke so I left it.</p>
<p>Instead though, I disconnected his speaker and installed a couple of my own. One at the front and one hooked up to his small microphone which helps the Furby respond to human voice.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.novemberfive.co.uk/journalimages/tinkering/furby4.jpg" alt="" />Next I connected up the speakers to a headphone jack and put him back together. Now he no longer moans in the annoying way that hes hungry all the time, instead you just hook him up to your mp3 player and he now responds to what ever music is playing.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lors de mon dernier passage dans la région de Sherbrooke, à la mi-juin, j'ai croqué quelques images de ce qui se passe dans le coin.  On est à y réaliser des travaux à quelques échangeurs, mais d'abord, je voulais prendre quelques poses d'une construction que j'aime bien, et qui pourrait servir d'exemple pour d'autres axes routiers.  Et j'ai nommé le multiplex de la route 112 et de l'A-10/A-55, entre Sherbrooke et Magog.</p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/144i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-714" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/144i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Nous sommes ici sur la route 112 ouest, en direction de Magog, depuis Sherbrooke, et la bretelle que l'on voit permet de prendre l'A-10 est/A-55 nord, pour retourner vers Sherbrooke ou Drummondville.  Au loin, on voit le viaduc sous lequel passe la route 112, à la suite duquel...</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/147i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-715" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/147i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...on retrouve l'accès, via la bretelle, à gauche, à l'A-10 ouest/A-55 sud, vers Montréal, ou la frontière américaine.  Par la suite, la route 112 est parallèle à l'autoroute, sur une distance d'environ 5 kilomètres.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/150i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-716" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/150i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">On retrouve, ici, un viaduc, sous lequel on peut changer de direction.</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/153i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-717" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/153i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Cette fois, nous sommes à la fin des voies de service.  La bretelle, à droite, mène vers l'A-10 ouest/A-55 sud, alors que si l'on garde les voies de gauche, on se retrouvera sur le boulevard Bourque, en direction d'Omerville, et de Magog.</span></em></p>
<p>J'imagine bien le développement futur de l'A-15, vers le nord, entre Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts et Mont-Tremblant, fait de cette façon, car il faudra bien que cette autoroute se réalise un jour.  D'ailleurs, plusieurs indices permettent de croire que cela va se produire, d'ici les prochaines années.  D'abord, la route 117 fut reconstruite, ces dernières années, à la hauteur de Mont-Tremblant (Saint-Jovite), avec des échangeurs étagés, auxquels on a accolé des numéros qui sont tout simplement la suite de ceux des sorties de l'A-15.  Ensuite, le même genre d'amélioration a été effectuée à Saint-Faustin--Lac-Carré, soit un échangeur étagé, avec numéro de sortie correspondant.  Je crois que le reste de la distance ne sera qu'une question de temps, et bien sûr, de budget.</p>
<p>Maintenant, allons plus à l'ouest, sur l'A-10, pour voir l'avancement de quelques chantiers.</p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/156i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-718" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/156i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">Nous sommes ici sur ce qui était la route 112, à l'ouest de Magog.  On est à reconfigurer complètement l'échangeur de la route 112, qui correspond à la sortie 115 de l'A-10.  D'ailleurs, ce viaduc, sur lequel circulaient les véhicules en direction ouest, va disparaître,...</span></em></p>

<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...tout comme celui-ci, en direction est, que l'on voit au loin, et sur lequel passait une voiture, au moment de la prise de la photo.  C'est que ces deux viaducs font partie des 135 structures à dalle épaisse, qui furent inspectés d'urgence par le MTQ, à l'automne de 2007.  Comme on voulait refaire tout l'échangeur, on a donc décidé de les raser au sol, ce qui sera fait dans les prochaines semaines, à moins que ça ne le soit déjà, au moment où vous lisez ces lignes.</span></em></p>

<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">On voit ici le chemin temporaire, qui mène à la route 141, vers le mont Orford, et la bretelle, à droite, qui conduit vers l'A-10 ouest.  Par contre, je n'ai aucune idée de la nouvelle configuration de l'échangeur.  Je mets donc cette image à titre d'illustration seulement.</span></em></p>

<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">À une quinzaine de kilomètres plus à l'ouest, nous pouvons voir les travaux de la sortie 100, à la hauteur de Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton, qui sera transformée, probablement à l'automne, en un échangeur complet.  La sortie, en direction ouest, commence à prendre forme,...</span></em></p>
<p><a href="http://richard3.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/167i.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-722" src="http://richard3.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/167i.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>
<p><em><span style="color:#993366;">...alors que l'entrée, en direction est, semble plus avancée, encore.</span></em></p>
<p>Bon, que me reste-t-il, parmi les choses à vous montrer?  On commence à passer au travers, là.  Il me reste l'A-55, entre Drummondville et Sherbrooke (oui, oui, l'ancienne A-51), et les travaux de l'A-15, entre Blainville et Saint-Jérôme.  Mais ne craignez rien; je me mettrai à la chasse d'autres merdes du MTQ très bientôt!</p>
<p><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><em>Des nouvelles de la blogue-mobile</em></strong></span></p>
<p>Ma nouvelle acquisition m'a fait <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">chier</span> faux-bond, vendredi dernier.  Je voulais l'utiliser pour aller passer le week-end dans les Laurentides, mais une fois à Laval, sur l'A-15 nord, en plein bouchon de circulation, le moteur s'est mis à chauffer au-delà de la normale.  De plus, je me suis retrouvé sans pédale d'embrayage, à cause d'une petite fuite dans le circuit d'embrayage, à moins que les 11 mois de remisage ont fait en sorte que de l'humidité se soit installée dans le liquide du circuit.  J'ai donc dû rebrousser chemin, et mettre plusieurs heures pour ramener la bête à la maison, question de ne pas endommager le moteur.</p>
<p>J'ai remplacé le thermostat, hier (lundi), mais le problème est toujours présent.  L'étape suivante sera donc le radiateur, puisque je n'ai détecté aucune fuite en provenance de la pompe à eau.  Le fait qu'il s'agisse d'un deuxième véhicule, que je compte utiliser de façon occasionnelle seulement, me met beaucoup moins de pression que s'il s'agissait de mon seul véhicule.  Aussi, mon unique frustration est que je suis arrivé dans le nord vers les 23h15, alors que je voulais arriver là-bas avant 19h00.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many more days do I have?  Oh, I think it is 83.  Whew!  I just finished my legs and back routine, followed by the Ab Ripper X of my back in the saddle with Power 90X.  Holy shoot.  My hip flexors were so tired from the legs that I actually had to take a break on a few of those.  Oh well, I will get better at them.  I am looking forward to week number 2.  Then, again, I am not really.  I will stick with it though.  I am not going to let those whipper snappers get the best of me next semester.  I think I will make them do some of these exercises but just not tell them where it comes from.  I will let them know after the semester ends. </p>
<p>I fell pretty good.  I could use a nice massage.  By the way, most of you athletes need to get a really good massage to release toxins and help bring in more oxygen to help repair the muscles.  It will improve performance and just darn right feels great.  I am so knotted up right now I could probably have a blanket made. </p>
<p>Okay, Tony, I am ready for number 2.  Bring it.  Everyone else, just hope I last past week 4.  That is my goal this time.  Once I make it pass that I should be fine. </p>
<p>I think I will make my classes do Circuit tomorrow so that i can recover.  :) </p>
