Do you think that being on a team with so many superstars will hinder his progress, through lack of opportunity?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It's very beautiful here today, today.
I’m off for the snow-clad woods in 12 minutes.
Secretely I also want to go to Norway once..
Maybe this summer.. If I can get a 100% coldfree card entering Norway
Your secret is safe with us.
Such cards are now issued in the passport control at the airport. Ha en fin dag!
That doesn't however tell me whether the answer would be positive or negative, which is why I asked.
I see it as a possible problem. On the other hand, if he doesn’t have to race exclusively with Gilbert, and can do all those SSR’s that give a rider a good grounding, then it could be an excellent year.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'd take the use of that particular expression
as an affirmative. Hence my follow-up question.. :)
Thanks. Glad someone here understands English. It isn't me tonight.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Your English was perfect, but the saying doesn't leave room for the fact that sometimes we ask
because we don’t know the answer.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
But very teacherly.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
My advice to you:
Try to think of your classroom as a courtroom. You are the judge, the prosecutor, and the jury. Your pupils are the defendants, the attorney for the defense, and the spectators. See what I mean?
How boring would that be?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ok, new suggestion:
Think of your students as the jury. A hung jury.
A hung jury is one that can't reach consensus.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No room for generalisations?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Quite the contrary, generalisations
are what makes passioned lunch break conversations go round and round and round. I was just implying that I was leaving the door open for a more literal interpretation in this case.
impassioned ;)
And, yes.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Spelling...such a minefield.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Oh goody. There's always room for more pedantry.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Potentially a lot more fun.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
We're no longer allowed to beat students in this country.
Unfortunately.
But he can't say "I believe in nozzingk" when he believes in beer - Jens (about me)
There's the option some of my colleagues like: boring them to death.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yep it is..
But.. The arguments that he wasn’t going to make a superyear were in the question itself. So, you can argument, that you knew the answer..
But it remains speculation. There are not to many sprinters on BMC, but there are a lot less helpers on the team. Curious ro see how it works out
Thanks. Me too.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ils sont fous, les Hollandais.
So, like if someone asks you: “Do you love me?” and the response is “Asking the question is answering the question” then it would be ill-advised to go around looking for a wedding outfit?
I think his frienship with Gilbert is a good thing for him.
That got him a good ($) contract with BMC and since they haven’t got many sprinters he’ll get his chance from time to time.
Thanks. The friendship is potentially a wonderful thing. I hope it works out that way.

Some fun reading from a PdC member who shall remain nameless. I gather it's created much comment.

Vaughters came out on twitter trying to dispel rumours of Tyler's dissenting team-mates
Guess this article was where it came from. an amusing piece.

It is. Vaughters is visibly frustrated with those who missed the satire.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Well it's not farrar who wrote it, although it was him whose 'Fuck', borne of frustration, was audible.

It's a fun site.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Farrar's comments make me think he is a keeper.
Let me see, who to boot.
You mean 'fuck', because the rest is a very clever fiction?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
If it pushes them to win, it's good.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Unfortunatelly..
He lacks some speed and a good train to really win the big races.. But his sprint in the classics compensate much
I love the last line
Stage Five of the Tour of Qatar goes on Thursday, where it is expected that Mark Cavendish will again take his turn at frustrating Farrar.
LOL. I like the whole thing. Some talented writers at PdC :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Wow
People actually thought that was legit?
They mentally heard those words coming out of Farrar’s mouth…around cameras and microphones? Really???
Apparently MANY people...ridiculous hey?

Demare led the peloton home last night

It's the Queen stage today...all 160 km's of it. Should be fun.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'

If its as good as last nights race, I’ll be pleased.

In Chrome, that appears not to be happening. Fingers crossed.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I believe that's usually because the site tries to deliver
geo-relevant advertising, which means that it pulls ads from different content networks depending on where your IP address is located. If you run an ad-blocker that would make it faster.
The other thing is that Chrome caches the hell out of most sites which means more static items (like navigation images, etc.) load from the local cache, rather than the web.

Caveat: sometimes I miss recent FanPosts
because they don’t immediately show up on the standard sorting (partly dependent on number of comments, I think). But there is a link on the FanPost page to sort by publication time.
When things are quiet, I have found some utterly bizarre things about a couple of cyclists,
so I thought perhaps we could have a fanpost where people contribute the most odd factoid about someone who is currently riding.

any suggestions?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
It probably depends more on the intended length of your investment.
If you’re comfortable moving it around a few times over the next year or two, that presents different opportunities to sticking it into something and leaving it there.
But he can't say "I believe in nozzingk" when he believes in beer - Jens (about me)
15-20 years (for him), me 10-15. searching fidelity's mutual funds
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
basically just sticking the money somewhere and forgetting about it, more or less
it’s not as if, relatively speaking, it’s a large portion of our assets. mainly for tax purposes. (damn amt)
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
For that length of investment you're best finding a fund that's shown decent returns
over the last 5-10 years and that will allow you to apportion your investments according to risk-based strategies (low/medium/high). I’d suggest something along the lines of 30% low, 30% medium and 40% high and shifting from high to low incrementally every 5 years or so. That way you’re reducing your risk as you get closer to wanting to cash out.
Of course, PdC doesn’t guarantee any financial advice posted in the comments and recommends you seek professional advice before making any final decisions.
But he can't say "I believe in nozzingk" when he believes in beer - Jens (about me)
yeah. the high risk investments incompass the life insurance accounts.
looking at 10 year averages of btwn 8-25 percent
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I'm sure you'll find something that suits your needs.
There are some good packages available that give you a high level of control over investment strategy without having to follow every investment in detail.

Then it went a little haywire, but for him to not even be top 10, that’s pretty damn haywire.
