    Omlopp. Think the switch and transform ers are called something else. There is likely a kitchen lighting guide. At least there was in France. Really rate it esp flush fitted with chippie panels underneath the cupboard and the lights in all the drawers… if you send me your email can send you some photo’s. Can’t be bothered posting them on a website to post them here. Sorry!

    Thanks for the reply. Email address en route.

    Don’t discount IKEA led strips. We’ve just re-done our kitchen. We used led strips from ikea under the wall cupboards all flush fitted with decorative panels either side. The cables are hidden and run off a plug and multi socket transformer. Wireless switch.

    Which model did you buy? I’m looking on the Ikea website now and can’t see a wireless switch version.

    It’s been a while since I’ve used MS Project. I’m sure there is a option to calculate duration or to allow the durations to calculate end date.

    Otherwise, use excel, format cells for date and you can then add/ subtract between twobdates to give you a duration. Factor for 7, 6 or 5 days depending on working week.

    I had a day with Darren at Mountain Bike Active in Porto De La Cruze a month back. Fantastic riding, scenery and guide. 2400m down to almost s a level with a variety of terrain. The last sections were through the back streets of the town. It was reminiscent of the Peru urban dh.

    I meant Ralf at MTB active, I’d been in touch with Darren at Lavatrax, but he was on his summer hols that week.

    I’m also rather taken by the RFX. First bike in ten years to turn my head from my 6 pack. My current bike is probably pretty expensive but due to its “trigger’s broom” nature, I’ve never taken it as one hit.

    My main bike is the same. It is an accumulation of upgrades over four years and the most dated item now is the frame.

    Currently building up a Flux as a second bike. Depending on how good this rides may sway me in the right a particular direction.

    I predict a high and low pissing contest and much grandstanding and a lot of moral judgement…

    I may have started this thread intentionally for this very purpose.

    A guy I know had the chain snap on his Specialized this weekend but didn’t seem bothered

    You didn’t see him peddling back up for another turn though?

    I’m currently in Korea and a work colleague has suggested adtelly chrome plugin. I’ve not yet tried it myself.

    First question; can you see the route on the map?

    If yes, then click on the route anywhere. A pop up asks what you wish to choose. Select yes, then in the icon bar at the top, select ‘follow route’.

    I run a 160mm pike on my 26 mojo SLR and it is brilliant. Drop the fork to 130mm for climbing to correct the geometry.

    As you have already ordered the fork, I’ve only posted to bookmark this as proof no one has died.

    I have a Nokia Lumia with work and it is the worst of the lot. There is not a single aspect better than my personal phone.

    I don’t have an IPhone, but do have a IPad mini.

    So, what I’ll recommend is my phone as it is head and shoulders above the two platforms mentioned. HTC M8 (or the newer M9). I accept the iPad and phone are different, but the U/I is not as intuitive or quick as the HTC.

    Android is also so much better for file transfer and sharing, specifically as you are not reliant on ITunes.

    Another recommend what I have response.

    I’m doing the same soon, but with a budget of 35 quid and no job.

    Cairo Street is canny nowadays.

    If you have a cavity, external insulation is of less benefit, as you have a drafty, damp gap in the middle of your wall….

    Surely the only issue is the gap at the top of the cavity? Good detailing will solve this and an externally insulated building lends itself to hot roof construction anyway, effectively wrapping the building?

    The render is a better waterproofing material than brick so moisture control is only required from the inside rather than ingress through the external leaf. Again, good detailing at the eaves to ensure air flow.

    Another Yakima owner here. No contact with the frame at all and has a lockable cable to prevent theft.

    The Mexican anthem? Heck, that’s relevant.

    What was that all about?

    I think the stress distribution over five bolts will be far less than the change between a 160 to 203 rotor.

    Additionally, if the factor of safety is 2 or 3 (design strength vs operational loading) you are just reducing this slightly, not taking it to the point where the operational loads are greater than the combined shear strength of five bolts.

    I’m going to try one on before I buy, but I haven’t as of yet seen one in the flesh. Does the helmet only option have the same removable parts etc?

    I bought a second hand 14″ Kona Fire Mountain for my son, had the frame powder coated, converted it to 1×9 with better shifters and rear mech. I also bought some 24″ superstar wheels so the bike is the exact right size for him. I’ve kept the original 26″ wheels to fit later as he grows.

    Forks are 100mm darts which came with the frame. They are reasonably smooth as I thought I may need to upgrade these. Might be his birthday treat.

    I did (sort of) the opposite. Bought my son a Kona fire mountain with 26″ wheels. He is only ten, so refitted the bike with 24″ wheels with the view to swap back as he grows. Bike looks fantastic and is perfect for him.

    I work on stealth rather than strength. If they don’t know bikes are there then that’s the ultimate defence.

    Pretty much this. My hack bike is on display, proud for all to see, but my good bike is hidden in plain sight. Plus, it will become very noisy if you touch it.

    I can also recommend Draftsight. It’s not as polished as ACAD, but it is free. I often have problems if a drawing contains blocks from ACAD, but if you are doing everything from scratch then you will be fine.

    Can the Draftsight free version create 3D images?

    Yes, it has a small amount of modelling capacity. Been a few years since I needed to model in a 2D environment and back then you couldn’t edit a 3D entity, so it was delete and start again.

    Look at FreeCad for free 3D.

    My experience is mostly Gyeongsangnam-do; coastal, so lots of seafood (including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urechis_unicinctus) but I’ve been over there for a few months and not starved (and am regarded as a fussy eater). I have never eaten dog but been told it’s not that nice. There are ‘western’ restaurants in the cities (Ulsan/Pusan) if you really must.

    Where abouts in Gyeongsangnam-do? I’m currently living in Meongji Ocean City, but I work in Gyeongsangnam-do.

    I love the food over here, there is so much to try. I liked Kimchee when I first tried it, but the thought of it fermenting in a bottle buried in the ground has put me off somewhat.

    Obvious choices are the Korean BBQ and Bulgogi restaurants as mentioned above. There are large numbers of seafood restaurants which have live fish, squid, octopus and other creatures in tanks in the front street. You pick your food and they cook it for you (or not if you prefer it raw).

    I am trying to experience all the different types while over here. There is a 50% restaurant (well that’s what the English call it) where a stew with seafood and vegetables is cooked at your table. The spice intensity ranges from 30%, 40%, 50% all the way up to 100%. 50% is hot enough!

    I’ve also been to a ribs and cheese place. Food is cooked at the table on a skillet and consists of a tray full of mixed cheese and very spicy ribs. Tasty but very messy!

    My favorite is ‘road-kill’ soup. Its is a pigs backbone stewed with cabbage, tofu and chilli and one whole potato. The place we go to has a pot this size of a cauldron and you get a hearty bowl full and a side bowl of sticky rice.

    One thing that is a culture shock is the supermarkets. It takes me nearly an hour to fill a single basket as its all in Korean and I don’t have a clue what I’m buying sometimes! That said, the price of meat at a supermarket is relatively expensive, so it is often cheaper to eat out.

    Soak-away design usually requires voids to be approx 30%. This is basically the volume of your hole x.3 which gives you a volumetric storage capacity. This may or may not be needed depending on the porosity of the ground (Please check it isn’t clay).

    Random rubble should be okay for infill, however, you usually need to line the hole with a permeable membrane. Just ensure you buy a strong one as the bricks could pierce this and with time it can infill with fines from the surrounding soils and become less effective.

    Check out BRE 365 for design guidance.

    I’ve got a Sony SRS X5 which is brilliant, however, the missus kept pinching it so I bought her a Veho 360 M6 for Christmas. It’s not as good (bass) as the Sony, but the sound is clear and looks the part. Nice brushed aluminium works well with the retro leather strap.

    If you are desperate, I suggest you ring around the second hand shops to see if they have a full laptop with the correct battery which you can buy then re sell later.
