Center Trail (#09) is a popular dirt bike single track trail in the Diamond Fork area just west of Strawberry Ridge. It consists of five major sections, as shown on this map:
Bob and Ron (a former work colleague) where planning on riding Center Trail before winter set in, so I decided to take the day off work and join them. We began our ride near the Tie Fork rest stop in Spanish Fork Canyon. It was a very cold 20ºF when we pulled into the parking area. My fingers were freezing as we started our ride, but the early morning sun was quickly warming things up. It wasn't too long until we were shedding layers.
What better way to start off a cold morning ride than do about five deep stream crossings. I was surprised how deep these crossings were this late in the year. I suspect they could be very challenging during spring runoff.
A few miles up Tie Fork the dirt road ends and the Tie Fork single track (#23) begins. This single track quickly climbs up the mountainside to the Unicorn Ridge road (#42).
The trail is fairly narrow and has some sections of steep side hill with some exposure. There are a few switchbacks and a few rocky climbs, but most of the trail is fairly easy as long as you pay attention. There are, however, a few hidden root clumps or rocks that like to snag your toes as you ride by. One in particular has snagged me all three times I have ridden this trail – regardless of which direction I ride.
The southern end of Center Trail begins at Unicorn Ridge immediately across the road from the top of Tie Fork. This first section of the trail is perhaps the easiest. This year some of the trail suffered some erosion, so it is a little more challenging than usual. You can ride at a good pace through this section, but pay attention when approaching some of the catch ponds or might miss a turn and get yourself wet. For photos and video of this section, check out my October 2014 Diamond Fork trip report.
This section ends at the intersection with road #501. You turn left and follow the road for a few hundred yards, then turn left again onto the 2nd Water Trail. This trail then splits; left goes down 2nd Water while right ascends a rocky section of trail letting you know you are now beginning the more advanced portion of Center Trail.
After completing the climb, the trail mellows out. Most of the trail is pretty easy as it winds through Aspen trees, Pine trees, or meadows. Being late in the year, much of the trail was covered in fallen Aspen leaves.
The 3rd Water crossing is the hardest part of the trail. There is a steep and rocky descent down to the stream bottom. I remembered this section from my ride here about 15 years ago with my two oldest sons. We were coming the other way and had a difficult time making it up this hill. My younger son flipped over backwards, which he didn't enjoy.
After crossing the streambed you begin a steep rocky climb out the other side. The climb has two switchback turns, so it is difficult to maintain your momentum. I got stuck twice through this section.
I really enjoyed the trail from 3rd Water Ridge to 5th Water. There were a few rocky spots, but most of the trail was smooth flowing trail where you could relax and enjoy the ride.
Just before reaching 5th Water you find an old aircraft fuel tank sitting just off the trail. One wonders how in the world it got there.
The crossing at 5th Water was quite muddy this time. The ride up and down 5th Water is pretty fun, and I have done it several times in the past.
To continue on Center Trail you turn left and go down 5th Water a ways. There are a couple of rocky sections with some steep side hill exposure that warrant caution.
From 5th Water (#15) to 5th Water Ridge (#14) the trail is intermediate difficulty, with a few rocky sections and some low lying logs.
5th Water Ridge is also a fun ride, but our objective for this ride was to ride Center Trail end-to-end and back. So, we turned left at the junction and began the descent down towards 6th Water. The first time I rode this section of the trail I thought it was really hard since it had a lot of exposed tree roots and ruts. But now I find it really enjoyable.
There is one section where you feel like you are riding through a tree graveyard due to all of the old fallen trees.
We came across a recent tree fall that was up in the air, making it difficult to get over. We could have bushwhacked our way around, but we elected to stay on the trail and practice crossing tall logs.
There is one really steep climb on this section, which includes one switchback turn. When I rode this section 15 years ago everyone in our group struggled to get up this section. This year all we all made it without incident.
We stopped for lunch at the West Portal on 6th Water. It took us almost exactly 3 hours to ride from Tie Fork to 6th Water, covering 22 miles. (Keep in mind that we ride slower than most people.)
We wanted to continue on and ride the northernmost leg of Center Trail, but we did not have enough time. We will have to come back and try again someday.
After a brief rest we started back. We didn't stop as often on the way back, so we made a little better time, but we did get pretty tired by the end.
We had to cross the fallen tree again. All three of us fell over attempting to cross this tree.
As I was getting tired, I worried about the rocky sections at 3rd Water, but to my surprise, the trail was significantly easier going north-to-south. When I finished the climb I wasn't totally sure that we had indeed made the climb that I had been worrying about.
We rode quickly back across the southern section of Center Trail and began back down Tie Fork.
Once again I snagged my toe a few times on hidden rocks or root clumps. I even snagged my toe on one of the switchback turns, which pulled me over with my leg pinned under the bike. And of course, I was riding in the back so there was no one to help. My upper body was wedged in some oak brush, so it was difficult to move. Being old and not very limber, it took me a while to wiggle free. It was actually quite comical.
We returned to Bob's truck in less than 3 hours with no injuries except a little bit of pride. This was one of the most enjoyable rides of the year with almost 44 miles of mountain single track.
A storm moved into the area two days later and brought the first snow to the mountains. So this was likely our last mountain ride of the year. But it was a great way to end the season!

Leeds Bankruptcy Lawyers & Moody Bankruptcy Attorney
$850 Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
In Leeds, Alabama, our bankruptcy attorneys charge $850 to file most Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases in and around Jefferson County. If debt is becoming a struggle you can no longer deal with, our Leeds bankruptcy lawyers can help you gain financial relief via bankruptcy and are here to guide you through the entire process.
Bankruptcy Attorney in Leeds & Moody
Once your initial consultation with our Leeds bankruptcy lawyer is set up, you'll receive a questionnaire that you'll need to fill out and bring with you to the appointment. If a phone appointment is what you opted for, one of our Leeds bankruptcy attorneys will call you back, normally the same day, and quickly go over your financial situation in general. Should an in person consultation still be necessary after this, then we can set up a meeting in our Birmingham office.
Certain documentation will be needed, depending on your particular circumstance., including your last 2 years tax returns, your last six (6) months of income information (usually in the form of your pay stubs), and a list of your creditors whether in the form of bills that you have or a list that you actually write out for us. Once we go over this situation and determine whether bankruptcy makes sense for you, we'll discuss moving forward with your filing.
Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy are the two most common types of filings. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is essentially a 3-5 year payment plan, administered via the Bankruptcy Court, where you pay your creditors off over time allowing you to get caught up on certain important bills such as your mortgage or a car payment. The most commonly known is the Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a much quicker and simpler type than a Chapter 13 and usually last about 90 days. This eliminates most, if not all of your unsecured debts very quickly. You must, however, be eligible for this type of bankruptcy. Whether you qualify is based on income using your last six months of pay stubs or other proof of income for the last six months is required in order to make this determination.
Once your bankruptcy case is filed, whether a Chapter 7 or 13, you will have to go to a Meeting of the Creditors or 341 Hearing. This meeting usually just has a trustee present ( no creditors or judge) who will ask you a few questions under oath. One of our Leeds bankruptcy lawyers will be there with you for this meeting, and it usually consists of the Trustee in your case asking a few simple questions. If you live in Leeds or the surrounding areas of Bessemer, Pelham, Trussville, Gardendale, Hoover, Alabaster (or anywhere else in Shelby or Jefferson County) then this meeting will likely be at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Birmingham.
How Much Does Filing for Bankruptcy in the Leeds Area Cost?
Our Leeds bankruptcy lawyers charge $850 in attorney's fees for simple, no asset Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases throughout Alabama. This would include most Chapter 7 filings, but there may be additional costs if there are complex legal issues such as corporate, divorce, or other such issues that would require a significant amount of additional time to handle or are likely to involve hearings. However, there is always a filing fee that the court charges as well, which is currently $335 in Chapter 7 bankruptcies. Additionally, there are other small fees for pulling your credit report and taxes, and there are two courses (a debt management and a credit counseling course) that you must complete and pay their fees (each course usually takes about an hour to do online). So, to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy with our law firm, the combined costs, including attorney fees, filing fees, and all additional fees, will usually be approximately $1280 total.
Although a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can benefit you by potentially discharging your unsecured debts, sometimes another type of bankruptcy called a Chapter 13 would be preferable. A Chapter 13 case is much less expensive to get filed, since most of the attorney fees get paid in the five year payment plan, so there are less cost up front. When you call our bankruptcy lawyers in Leeds and set up a consultation, we will go over your situation with you and help you figure out which type of bankruptcy is the best option for you.
The Harris Firm regularly files bankruptcy cases in the Jefferson County area and are familiar with the local requirements in the U.S. Courts there. Attorney Steven Harris is a member of the Central Alabama Better Business Bureau and the local Birmingham Bar Association, and he is usually the attorney that meets with potential clients in our Birmingham office. If you need some financial relief then give our Leeds bankruptcy attorneys a call today for a consultation in person or over the phone.

Get Smart About Smog Checks
Getting started with smog checks
If you have a car, you've probably heard of smog inspections. You may have even had a smog inspection in the past, also known as a smog check, smog test, and smog certification. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that you know exactly what goes on in a smog inspection.
Many people are ignorant about smog inspections in spite of how important they are. Putting off a smog inspection can let damage to your vehicle grow more severe and expensive, not to mention the repercussions you may face from the government as well. To explain all the in's and out's of smog inspections in California, here are the facts.
What exactly is a smog inspection?
In short, a smog inspection involves experts checking your vehicle's emissions. The exact means depends on what sort of car you have and how old it is. There are three primary components to a California smog test: the emissions inspection, the visual inspection, and the functional inspection.
What exactly is a smog inspection?
The most obvious reason to get a smog inspection in California is that you probably have to. Most vehicles are required to get smog inspections and a failure to do so can involve legal penalties in the form of fines.
However, getting a smog inspection is also just a generally smart move for any car owner. Excessive emissions aren't just a problem for the environment, they could also indicate hidden damage to your car. That damage could get worse over time and eventually require expensive repairs. In fact, that hidden damage could be costing you plenty of money right now.
When are smog inspections required?
For vehicles that are not exempted, a smog inspection is required every two years, with the goal being to clean up the air. Most vehicles need to get regular smog inspections, so the list of exceptions in California is fairly short. You do not need to get smog inspections if your vehicle is:
A diesel model from 1997 or older
A diesel model that weighs over 7 tons (14,000 lbs)
An electric model
A natural gas model that weighs over 7 tons (14,000 lbs)
A motorcycle
A trailer
A gasoline model from 1975 or older
It's important to note that this isn't really a list of vehicles that affect the environment less than non-exempted vehicles. The inclusion or exclusion of a type of vehicle can often come down to politics and policy rather than impact on air quality.
Furthermore, smog inspections are generally required when you want to sell a vehicle. You need to make sure that a vehicle has its emissions checked before transferring the vehicle to someone else.
Finally, there is a separate consideration made for many new vehicles that would otherwise require smog inspections. In place of getting regular smog inspections, an owner can pay a smog abatement fee for the first six years of their car's life.
All Star Smog Testing (formerly known as FasTest Smog Center) is a licensed smog check center providing vehicle emission tests for personal, commercial, and industrial vehicles in Walnut Creek, CA and several surrounding areas. We were formerly known as Walnut Creek Test Only Center. Since we began business in 2005, we have been going full-throttle in providing the best service, accuracy and efficiency to our smog inspection in order to meet the high standards set by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and the high expectations of our customers. Don't just take our word for it; take it from our previous customers.

…To which we can only say – gulp – "Amen:"
by Charlie Jane Anders
Guillermo del Toro has directed some of the coolest movies of the past decade or so, including Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy, plus the upcoming monster/robot smackdown Pacific Rim. But he's also gotten into producing animated films for kids, including Kung-Fu Panda and the upcoming Rise of the Guardians.
We were lucky enough to get a chance to talk one-on-one with del Toro about Rise of the Guardians, and he explained to us why children's stories need to be dark, because "kids are neurotic."
What's the biggest mistake people make in telling stories about children, or for children?
Well, I think that one of the things is to actually try and create a sense of darkness in the tale. A lot of people just make this sanitized super happy-go-lucky, "bright sunshine and clouds" type of childhood movies. And you really need an element of the dark in it. In the case of Kung Fu Panda 2, we really came up with a psychotic, sociopathic villain. In the case of [Rise of the] Guardians, we have Pitch, which is an incredibly sophisticated and articulate guy that tries to control your fear. In the case of Puss in Boots, we had a bad guy who was Humpty, who was capable of changing and capable of doing a good action at the end. He was incredibly neurotic.
And I think that people don't acknowledge that kids have all these sides. Kids are neurotic, kids deal with fear, kids are confronted by really hostile impulses from the adults around them and the other kids, and you know, movies should acknowledge all this and create these fables that help them deal with those things.
Do kids' movies have the best villains?
I don't know that I'd say [that]. Hitchcock used to say, "The better the villain, the better the film." And Hitchcock's bad guys, in some cases, are formidable. The James Bond villains can be fantastic. And superhero movies are only as good as the bad guy.

Once harvested, our infrastructure and trading network provides flexibility on who and when to sell the crop to, resulting in members' grain regularly beating market returns.
All our grain is marketed by Openfield (also a farmer owned co-operative), where a dedicated, expert team is available to advise on the wide choice of marketing options and pools available. Our dockside location and specialist segregation and blending techniques have the added advantage of allowing members to access export markets more easily and ensure that a higher percentage of crops reach the premium market.
Our prime position in the Port of Boston means that in addition to providing storage for members, LGS has been able to use the facility to export grain for third parties in return for an elevation fee. The profits generated from this work have been used to carry out an extensive refurbishment of the store, to build up reserves and make distributions to members.
In recent years, increased collaboration with near-by stores from within the Openfield Network has improved the operational efficiency of the Boston site further. Now, non-export material is stored away from the port, which has resulted in the site's full operational value being retained for members.
Is Group storage right for me?
While self storage can sometimes makes sense on owned land, the benefits of grain pooling, plus the diluted labour and drying costs, mean that many farmers find central storage a more attractive option.
We pride ourselves on providing objective, trusted advice to all prospective and existing members. This means that if we believe that central grain storage isn't the right option for your farm, we'll tell you so.

Left Behind
I am still looking for a theme for continuing to make pictures of the surrounding area for a possible book. My thoughts when looking at these older images were about Hanover having been left behind. I might see if that theme works for expanding out to the surrounding areas.
One thing I discovered when looking back through my older images was that I had used a lot of longer focal length lenses with various camera systems and that I generated a lot of detail or close-up views. I don't think I will continue using the longer lenses. I never found a theme when looking that way and I now think a stronger, or at least different, theme might exist within the larger overall views when using normal to wider prime lenses.
I still am conflicted about a processing style, but that will depend upon the general emotion that I feel from my images if I make a book. The style of the above images is a little different then I have used before in that it is a higher contrast color style. I may use it, or I might switch to a B&W style depending upon which best supports the way I view the underlying theme. Old-time B&W images look more like it used to be but doing them in color might make a better point that it is like this today.

What is tooth sensitivity? To put it simply, tooth sensitivity is discomfort in one or more teeth that can range from mild to severe. Many people feel this discomfort every day even during mundane tasks such as eating and drinking. But, is there anything you can do to combat this issue? Read on to find out.
Sadly, the causes of sensitive teeth vary. Brushing too hard, clenching, and grinding your teeth can cause your enamel to break down, exposing the nerve of your tooth—which leads to sensitivity. Tooth decay and gum disease can also break enamel down.
The solution to sensitive teeth is quite simple. Proper brushing flossing technique will help with this issue, and as a bonus, will help prevent future problems as well. When you clean your smile thoroughly, you'll be much less prone to tooth decay and gingivitis—making you less likely to have tooth decay.
Toothpaste companies are putting out toothpaste for sensitive teeth. If you put this toothpaste on the offending tooth overnight you should see results. Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth will also help over time.
If you see that your enamel is starting to go away here are some solutions. Eat and drink food that is high in calcium. This will help build up your teeth. Stay away from acidic foods as this will eat away at your enamel.
If you do have tooth sensitivity we can help. Our dentist Dr. Gary Wegmann and his team will be able to tell you other ideas and solutions for your unique situation. Just call The Chicago Family Dental Center at 312.551.0500 to schedule an appointment. We are eager to receive your call.

11 —He Descended to the Dead: The Third Day
About the CD
People of the Light features music which is patterned after the church year.
The Advent Song, Introit, God is with us and This is why tell of waiting in hope, angels singing and the sure knowledge that God will never leave us.
A setting of James Mongomery's Go to dark Gethsemane leads into The Third Day cantata.
The cantata tells the Easter story from the cross, through low Saturday, to finding the empty tomb, Jesus' appearance in the locked room and giving the great commission. The work ends with a glorious finale that proclaims, "Christ is Risen, Alleluia!"
Next is Such Love, a choral setting of words from 1 John: 3. This is followed by three instrumental pieces that reflect Jonathan's love of Celtic music.
Also included are Jonathan's settings of the traditional Magnificat and Nunc dimittis. The Magnificat features a free-form melody sung by soprano soloist Sharon Yearsley, who soars over an exciting rhythmic, pulsing chant by the choir.
The CD closes with a Blessing based on Psalm 27.
Throughout, Jonathan's music deftly weaves melodies around sacred words in ways that enhance and give new meaning to the text. Listeners will be drawn into the music and find their spirits uplifted.
Founded in 1976, Festival Singers of Wellington has a tradition of encouraging young performers, of bringing new music to our audiences and of always singing to the glory of God. People of the Light continues this tradition.
Praise for People of the Light
"Undeniably, the music is attractive and memorable. The language is steeped in Biblical allusions and quotation so that it is familiar but not so familiar that it washes blandly over the listener. All sources of words are acknowledged and elsewhere Jonathan shows his expertise in setting his own well-chosen words to music.
Jonathan expresses the hope that the music will speak to any who will hear. This reviewer found this to be true. So, immerse yourselves in these songs and the words and you will be richly rewarded."

About the CD
Spirited People takes you on a spiritual and musical journey through a selection of new works by New Zealand composers that offer praise to God, set against the challenge to take the model of Jesus' life of service and sacrifice seriously. This is their first commercial recording.
The cantata The Spirit Within, by popular hymnwriter Colin Gibson, is the major work on the CD. In it he explores God the majestic and awe-inspiring, but also provokes us to respond to poverty and injustice. His music draws on both classical and popular musical forms and influences. The lyrics are poetic and set us firmly in the rural and urban landscapes of Aotearoa. Readings of poems by five other NZ writers linking the music tracks enhance the recording. The CD also includes short settings by Colin Gibson of Joy Cowley's poem The Virgin Birth and John Donne's To Enter That Gate.
Jonathan Berkahn, organist and Celtic band enthusiast, writes music that is spiritually uplifting to sing and captures a feeling for intimacy with God. His works are underpinned with a rhythmic joy founded in jigs, reels and other Irish folk styles. Jonathan also draws on church tradition and classical music forms, with settings of text from the Anglican prayerbook or directly from Scripture. A highlight of this CD is Jonathan's Te Deum for choir accompanied by Celtic folk band. Audiences have enthusiastically applauded its public performances. We also feature Jonathan's up-tempo New Song.
Two pieces by Rosemary Russell complete the selection. Its How You Live urges us to be faithful, positive and to treasure our relationships with those around us. The lilting song Psalm 63, written in collaboration with choir member Philip Garside, explores the depths of our spiritual longing.
This beautifully packaged CD will make an ideal Christmas gift for friends and family. Buy another copy for your personal listening pleasure.

It appears as though T. Hawk got tired of diving at people, and just wants to focus his ki energy on chucking plasma instead. It also seems as though Zangief got tired of bears and went after birds instead — spinning birds, that is.
With these move swaps created by the great Bob Sagat, the natural look of every single one looks like it could easily be another Rainbow Edition in the making. Whether or not anyone will take this further than this or not, it's enjoyable to see a fresh coat of paint on the characters.

The danger of Islam and uncontrolled immigration
Reader comment on item: What is Jihad?
Submitted by faqi (United States), Mar 10, 2006 at 20:18In the past like at present plenty of scholars, philosophers, writers, thinkers and statesmen have warned us about the dangers of Islam. It is up to us to to let our elected Politicians know all of the hidden perils and the oncoming catastrophe, which will occur by allowing uncontrolled immigration of Muslims to settle in Western nations. Its pure lunacy literally to allow Muslims in such large numbers to live in the West. This will eventually may prove to be the undoing and the destruction of our civilization, if no one takes heed to reverse this policy.
What legacy are we going to leave our children and our children's children? Is it going to be continuous conflict, hatred and even civil wars? On a strictly moral plane, Islam has very little to recommend it. Islam is barbaric to its core and vile in it's ideology. On the cultural plane, it is ridiculously backward, bigoted, childish and hateful. On the political plane it is a cancer which threatens Europe and the world.
John Wesley had this to say of Islam
" Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it...have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind"
or Alexis de Tocqueville
"I studied the Kuran a great deal ... I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammed. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world, and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion infinitely more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself."
or G.K. Chesterton writing more than a century ago:
There is in Islam a paradox which is perhaps a permanent menace. The great creed born in the desert creates a kind of ecstasy of the very emptiness of its own land, and even, one may say, out of the emptiness of its own theology. . . . A void is made in the heart of Islam which has to be filled up again and again by a mere repetition of the revolution that founded it. There are no sacraments; the only thing that can happen is a sort of apocalypse, as unique as the end of the world; so the apocalypse can only be repeated and the world end again and again. There are no priests; and yet this equality can only breed a multitude if lawless prophets almost as numerous as priests. The very dogma that there is only one Mahomet produces an endless procession of Mahomets.
The majority of the Muslim immigrants to the west have no desire to belong to, or become a part of the countries whose generosity have given them the privilege to live with dignity as human beings. This is why we find that such crimes as counterfeiting ,embezzlement & rape are rife among Muslims in the west. The most serious thing to observe is that a Muslim who resorts to counterfeiting and embezzlement does not experience any pangs of conscience, and is not deterred by any moral or religious impulse. On the contrary, he considers these countries that had opened their doors to welcome him, as lands of the Infidel; thus he has the right to commit such crimes within their borders and explanation of this is called Takiya which means deception or concealing and disguising one's beliefs and intentions to fool the adversary. According to Muhammad all forbidden things become permissible if they are to be used for the advancement of Islam. So Muslims can lie, steal, murder and rape with complete clear conscience because they are convinced of doing the right thing.
Many a European Muslims while living in the country that has admitted them, given him social security,housing and looked after his children by providing them with food and free medicine; yet at the same time, he goes on bragging that he owes no allegiance to such a country, on the pretext that it is a non-Islamic land.
But foreigners passing through Arab and Muslim lands are expected to show respect for their traditions and culture. Is it then too much to expect a Muslim seeking European citizenship to show more respect for the traditions of the societies that have given him shelter?

What is marine collagen?
Marine collagen is collagen derived from the fish skin of wild caught cod. When it is hydrolyzed, it becomes a completely tasteless, colorless, odorless powder and a pure source of protein. "Hydrolyzed" means that it goes through a process of being broken down into smaller molecules so that it can be easily absorbed by the body. It is also purified and always free of toxins that can sometimes be associated with collagen derived from land mammals, like cows or pigs.
Marine collagen is absorbed 1.5 times faster than other sources of collagen. Because it is absorbed more efficiently, it is thought to provide the best results and most health benefits, including smoother, healthier, and younger looking skin.
Is collagen safe to ingest?
Our bodies already contain collagen naturally. As you get older, collagen levels and production slows down, and studies show that consuming pure hydrolyzed collagen can boost your body's own production.
Do marine collagen or Kalumi BEAUTYfood bars taste like fish?
Not at all! Our hydrolyzed marine collagen is always tasteless, colorless, and odorless.
What is yacon syrup?
Yacon is a root vegetable native to Peru with a moderately sweet and delicious flavor. Yacon has a glycemic index of 1 on the glycemic scale and can have prebiotic properties to keep you feeling your best on the go.*
Is Kalumi BEAUTYfood gluten-free?
Yes! Kalumi BEAUTYfood bars are certified gluten-free and made in a completely certified gluten-free facility. They are also dairy free, soy free and non-GMO.
Is Kalumi BEAUTYfood pescatarian?
Yes, our bars are pescatarian since they are made with marine collagen.
What are the ingredients and/or nutrition facts of Kalumi BEAUTYfood?
Please view each flavor on our website to see the ingredients and nutrition facts.
What is Kalumi?
Ka.lu.mi: (KAH-LUE-ME) is an amalgamation of the Greek word "kalon" which means ideal physical and moral beauty and the word "lumi" which means light.
Kalumi is our brand, but we also picture her as our own glowing goddess!
What makes Kalumi "high quality"?
Most collagen products use bovine (cow) collagen, and many collagen products on the market don't contain much collagen. Each of our bars contain 12 grams of sustainable, wild-caught marine collagen. Not only do we use premium, marine collagen but we combine it with foods that promote the absorption and retention of collagen. Our Kalumi BEAUTYfood bars also contain naturally occurring antioxidants from food such as beta-carotene (precursor of vitamin A) and vitamin C, both from sweet potatoes. Yacon syrup is another one of the staple ingredients found in Kalumi bars, which is a yummy, metabolism-revving sweetener native to Peru.* Compared to many other protein bar companies, we take absolutely no shortcuts and use zero fillers. You're getting quality, hand-selected ingredients in every bite. Our bars are delicious, clean, AND contain a daily dose of beauty-boosting ingredients. Kalumi is much more than a protein bar!
What are the shipping details?
We offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $40 in the US.We ship Internationally to Canada, Mexico, UK and Australia for orders containing 3 boxes minimum and 5 boxes maximum.
*Shipping fee will apply and will include duty fees.
Is Kalumi BEAUTYfood shelf stable?
Yes! You do not need to refrigerate the bars. Our bars contain cocoa butter which can melt in hot conditions (in temperatures over 75 degrees, in direct sunlight, or when carried around during the hot months of the year.) We refuse to use additives in our formula to stop this natural occurrence, because we believe in using clean ingredients only!
Why does my Kalumi BEAUTYfood look and/or taste different from my last order?
Because we use natural ingredients without additives, batches can vary slightly and natural separation can occur if your bars come in contact with heat over 75 degrees. This is nothing to be alarmed about, and you should still enjoy your bars as normal!
Can I eat Kalumi BEAUTYfood bars if I'm pregnant?
If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a health concern, always consult your primary care physician before consuming.
How do I make changes to my order?
If you would like to make a change to your order, please contact us as soon as possible, and we'll do our best to help. If your order has already been shipped by the time we receive your request, then we unfortunately can no longer cancel or change the order.
How do I manage my account and/or subscription?
When you subscribe, you are offered the option to create an account. Please click here to log into your account. If you forgot your password, you can select" Forgot Password" and follow an email prompt to access your account. If you are still unable to access your account, please contact us.

Reviewed by Tracy A. Fischer for Readers' Favorite
In a great new read by author Lorraine Cobcroft, Mortgaged Goods is a story that will grab readers from the very first words and won't let go until the very last. Following protagonist Natalie Dreyer, a beautiful and gifted corporate attorney, the story takes so many twists and turns that one simply cannot predict what will happen next. Natalie and the handsome and charming Karl Albrecht seem to have a life that any would envy, that is, until tragedy strikes and difficult things from her past cause major issues for the couple. Karl and Natalie's lives certainly will intrigue and surprise author Lorraine Cobcroft's readers to no end.
I so enjoyed Mortgaged Goods. I started this book, intending to read just a few chapters one evening. Well, hours later and much, much later than I intended to be awake, I found myself finishing the very last pages, tired but satisfied! Author Lorraine Cobcroft has done a great job in creating characters that her readers will connect with, relate to, and continue to think about long after the book is done. If that isn't a hallmark of a great author, I don't know what is. Mortgaged Goods is exciting, full of surprises, and just a fantastic read! Any reader who loves an intriguing piece of contemporary women's fiction should absolutely pick up this book. I recommend this book highly and am very much looking forward to reading more from the very talented author Lorraine Cobcroft as soon as I possibly can!

Get a Virtual Phone Number in Indonesia
Indonesia is a vast country which branches out into the Pacific and Indian oceans. The nation is comprised of more than 17,500 islands and covers a total of 3,200 miles. Only 6,000 of the islands are inhabited. The largest of these islands are Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Kalimantan.
Indonesia has a rich history that dates back to 2,000 BC. From the 7th century onwards, Buddhist and Hindu influences resulted in the growth of the Srivijaya kingdom. The coast of Sumatra became the hub of the trading network.
When Marco Polo visited Sumatra in the 13th century, He found Islamic settlers, and by the end of the 16th century, Islam had become the predominant religion in Sumatra and Java. By this point, Indonesia was the world's largest Islamic nation. European traders were drawn to the country's abundant spices, and before long, the Dutch took over the spice trade. By the 19th century, the Dutch were growing coffee in Java and were soon providing ¾ of the world's supply of coffee.
During World War II, the Japanese occupied Indonesia; this lasted until 1945. At the end of WWII, Indonesian history took a dramatic turning point with the Indonesia Revolution. Despite this, Indonesia remained under Dutch rule for several more years.
Today, Indonesia is a melting pot of more than 300 different ethnic groups. Many diverse cultural influences can be seen here, including Indian, Dutch, Chinese, and Arabic. Although there are several hundred local languages, Indonesia's official language is Bahasa Indonesia.
Indonesia's Economy
Not surprisingly, Indonesia has the largest economy in Southeast Asia. The nation has several important industries including:
- Agriculture: More than 42 percent of the Indonesian workforce is employed in this sector. Indonesia's agricultural sector can be categorized into animal products, food crops, non-food crops, forest products, and fish products. The major items are coffee and rice.
- Mining: Indonesia's mining industry has grown steadily over the past few years. Currently, Indonesian mines produce coal, nickel, copper, and gold.
- Textiles: Indonesia's textile and apparel industry is among the world's top 10. The nation is also the world's 12th largest apparel supporter to Europe, the U.S., and the Middle-East. This sector is expected to continue to grow by more than 5 percent over the next ten years.
- Tourism: Indonesia's tourist industry is booming. The nation is home to many great attractions including historic sites, beautiful countryside, and interesting cultural events.
Telephone Numbers in Indonesia
Whether your business is located in the U.S., Europe, or the Middle East, Indonesia is a great country to expand within. You probably assume that it will cost a lot of money to setup an office there, and there will be many challenges to overcome. You're right. However, you can still have a presence in Indonesia without having to move there, simply by using Indonesia virtual phone numbers.
Indonesia virtual phone numbers are local numbers which are not attached to a phone line. They are hosted in the cloud. This means that you can have incoming calls routed to any number or numbers of your choosing. For example, if you are traveling, calls can be routed to your smartphone, if you are in an important meeting, calls can be routed to one of your colleagues, and if you have a customer service call center, calls can be routed there. You can change the number any time you like, to suit your business needs.
How to Use Indonesia Virtual Phone Numbers
Indonesia virtual phone numbers are easy to use. You can give them to your customers via email, put them on your business cards, use them in newsletters, on your website, and on TV or radio ads. In fact, if you use different Indonesia virtual phone numbers for each of your marketing campaigns, this will make it easy for you to see which ones are generating the most leads. This is because you can track all your calls and see which numbers are the most popular.
Your Indonesian customers will love using Indonesia virtual numbers because they will not have to pay expensive long-distance calling charges, nor will they have to deal with cumbersome international dialing codes. Your customers won't even realize that they are making an overseas call because when they dial your Indonesian virtual phone numbers, they will hear a local ringback tone, so they will think you have a presence right there in Indonesia, which will give them much more confidence in your company.
How to Get Indonesia Virtual Phone Numbers
All you have to do is contact United World Telecom. They have more than a decade of experience matching companies with virtual phone numbers all over the world. Wherever in the world your business is located, even if it is in your home office, you can use virtual phone numbers to maintain a global presence.

I just came over from running Antergos (Arxh), got tired of their constant elitist attitude, but at least I was on the lastest gtk, 3.22 in that case.
Now I am here and all my custom themes do not work correctly.
My question is, when the heck is Mint going to get gtk 3.20 or 3.22 on the system?
Both of them have been out for months and if you check you will find errors about deprication running with Mint themes in GTK3 applications.

Re: gtk 3.20 or gtk 3.22
If you care for the very latest software versions, you need a rolling-release base distro like Arch Linux. Linux Mint is point-release based, meaning you get updates to fix security issues and other critical bugs but generally don't get new feature releases unless during the lifetime of a distro release (Linux Mint does update a lot of software with its minor releases every 6 months, but no core operating system components like Gtk are likely to be updated as that would mean retesting--if not rebuilding--all packages that use Gtk). The current Linux Mint release, 18.1, is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I think it has Gtk 3.18. It will not get a newer Gtk release during its lifetime, only updates to fix security issues or other critical bugs. It won't be till mid next year, when Linux Mint 19 (based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) arrives, that it will move to a next feature release of Gtk.
Re: gtk 3.20 or gtk 3.22
Thank you for your quick reply. I understand what you are saying but I guess I will have to live with it.

During our master bedroom makeover, I became overwhelmed and obsessed with how to style the bed and which pillow sizes, colors and patterns to use. Since the bed is the focal point of a bedroom, the throw pillows had to be just right.
Throw pillows are easy to swap out when you get bored of a color/style, so they're one of my favorite ways to take risks in a bedroom (the title of this post is "pillow talk," I had to make a sexual innuendo).
There are so many different sizes of pillows and ways to style them but ultimately, I decided to keep things simple, yet still bold and pretty.
I opted for a 16×24 Scalamandre pattern pillow, two 24×24 solid blush velvet pillows (a last minute Home Goods find) and standard queen pillows supporting the two blush pillows.
Whether you have a king or queen size bed, there are a ton of different pillow size and style combinations you can use.
So to help break things down, I created some graphics for some common pillow size combos and my go-to styling methods when it comes to your bed.
You can of course, switch these up as you please, but I love this method because having a pattern against a solid is (visually) pleasing like, 100% of the time.
Pattern-on-pattern definitely works in many situations, and I think the key is to use two patterns that are not too similar (i.e. floral against abstract). Like this:
When it comes to buying pillows, my one-stop-shop is Etsy as there are a million + 1 options. I gathered some ideas and combinations for you to use in your bedroom below!

Effective Social Media B2B Marketing in the Asia Pacific
Spur a deeper level of engagement between you and your customers with WWHaT Digital's social media marketing services. Our campaigns not only respond to your target audience; we listen and converse, immersing your Asia Pacific brand into the English-speaking market.
Go Social with WWHaT Digital
When people talk about digital marketing for B2B, social media marketing comes as an after thought—a minor marketing arm that brings feeble conversions and does little to increase revenues.
Social media, however, is an extremely important marketing channel, thanks to its ability to bring you closer to your target market. Brands that don't have social media accounts tend to get left behind in customer engagement. They lag in terms of presence—71% of businesses are on Facebook, while 59% are on Twitter, not to mention the significant portion of businesses on LinkedIn, which is arguably the defining social network site for business and employment.
For Asia Pacific brands that market to the US, a social media presence allows you to stay in touch with customers that cannot be easily reached by traditional marketing methods.Your social campaigns introduce you to potential clients and make you memorable to people who are already familiar with your brand. Your posts and tweets lead followers to your site and encourage them to convert.
Your social media accounts are your ticket to brand awareness, brand loyalty, and, more importantly, higher revenues. And our social media management company helps you achieve all of that. Call us today.
What Our B2B Social Media Marketing Does for Your SME
Think of Facebook and LinkedIn posts and tweets as virtual flyers or newspaper ads— they present your brand to your audience and build brand awareness. They help you forge a brand identity. It's a creative platform to show your company's story, your unique value proposition, and your mission as a brand.
They are effective vehicles in expanding your reach, too. Social media was built to be shared, and you can leverage this feature by publishing compelling content. If your customers are intrigued, they'll hit "share" and expose your brand to their peers.
Your social media campaigns boost your SEO strategies. While social media presence is not a known ranking factor, what it does is bring in traffic, which, in turn, improves your rank.
Search engines keep track of which websites get robust traffic and which ones don't see many visitors in a month. Sites that get a huge amount of traffic are considered high-quality and, therefore, rank well.
While our SEO strategy can get you on top of the SERP, social media helps produce faster results. Our campaigns compel people to visit your site, making it more credible in the eyes of Google.
Social Media Marketing Tailored to Your Industry
In the age of the empowered consumer, general social media management services aren't enough, which is why WWHaT Digital creates campaigns tailored to your industry and your audience. During the planning phase, we study your niche thoroughly to create content that your customers relate to and encourage them to like, share, and buy. To generate larger revenues, we combine both branded content and ad paid advertising.
We do social media campaigns for manufacturing, technology, and trading best. Our intimate knowledge of your target market, products and services, jargon, and ad regulations enable us to formulate a solid ad campaign. Despite our focus on these industries, though, we are also very good at adapting our work to accommodate other industries. And we'll do just as great a job.
WWHaT Digital selects the right platforms for your campaign and formulates measurable, realistic goals. Each platform requires a different approach, so we tweak your messaging according to the channel it will be posted.
Authenticity is at the heart of our social media strategy—we refrain from content that feels forced or detached. Our team post messages that feel like a conversation among friends and offer real value to your customers.

One of the hottest topics of conversation among general practitioners and practice managers this year has been the plans for the formation of new Primary Care Networks (PCNs).
The start of a new year always provides a chance to take a fresh look at what's going on around us and plan for the year ahead. With us in the busiest time of year for GPs, principals and practice managers though, you may not have as much planning time as you'd like.
A very welcome change to the rules around the NHS pension scheme will negate the need for thousands of doctors to cover annual five-figure tax bills.
The calculation of accounts for the first full financial year following the introduction of the updated IR35 tax regulations is now well underway. Their impact on the primary care sector is quickly becoming obvious - and lessons are being learned that all principals and practice managers would be well advised to heed.
They say that familiarity breeds contempt – and in the case of how unavoidable the letters G, D, P and R have been in recent months, it's probably fair to say that most of us have become pretty contemptuous.
With the primary care sector evolving at an ever-increasing pace, we've seen significant growth in the number of GP practices looking to reorganise their finances for many different reasons.
The start of a new financial year is always the catalyst for focusing the mind on money matters. So Richard Humphreys, director at RMT Healthcare has put together this handy article discussing changes to GP pension tax relief.
One of the issues in primary care we've noticed happening with more regularity in recent years is the handing back of contracts by primary care practices to the NHS. So what are the main factors you need to think about before taking that step?
Even before the recent ransomware attacks that paralysed large parts of the NHS, issues around cyber security were becoming a more and more regular component of conversations with our healthcare clients - and as you might imagine, since the WannaCry virus hit the headlines, such conversations have become even more common.
The Government's flagship Making Tax Digital initiative was first announced back in 2015, and as with all major undertakings of this sort, it has been far from a smooth ride towards implementation. Learn more about what it could mean for you and your practice here...
Working to detect and prevent fraud is sadly an everyday part of business life these days, and while GP practices might not seem like the most obvious targets for the criminals who carry out such enterprises, it's far from uncommon across the primary care sector.
Over the last few months, issues surrounding the employment status of people working for the likes of Uber and Deliveroo have been high on the business news agenda. While cab drivers and couriers might seem far removed from the world of primary care, we're expecting to see a number of similar instances arising in GP practices as some important new rule changes come into effect.
With NHS budgets remaining as tight as they've ever been, the details of the newly announced changes to the GP contract for 2017-18 have been eagerly awaited by everyone in primary care.
The results of a new survey of over 3,500 partners across England by the BMA have confirmed what anyone working in primary care has known for a long time - it's very difficult to recruit GPs and there are clearly currently not enough to go around.
Inspections of GP practices by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have become an accepted part of the primary care life cycle but, as with anything else that features therein, there are operational and cost implications to be considered for both before and after inspections takes place.
Questions relating to property ownership in primary care have risen to the top of many practices' agendas in recent months, as the impact of the formation of NHS Property Services has become all too clear.
As the complexity of primary care finance and logistics becomes ever more byzantine, it's essential to have someone in place who has a very firm hand on the business tiller and whose commercial expertise allows GPs to get on with the clinical job in hand.
Formal mergers between GP practices have become an increasingly regular occurrence over the past few years, and it's a trend that has been driven by a range of different clinical and management.
The beginning of any new financial year inevitably brings a whole raft of changes to the tax system that need to be taken into account when you're reviewing your personal finances. But if you're a GP, and especially if you're in the later years of your career, changes that have just been introduced around your pension allowance require your swift and careful consideration.
In 2014, it was agreed that no new GP entrants would be admitted to this scheme, and that seniority payments would be gradually phased out over the remainder of the decade. A 15% year-on-year reduction was introduced in December last year, with a view to payments eventually disappearing altogether by 31 March 2020.

Concrete Restoration
At CPS, we excel at Concrete repair and restoration. We are one of the best in the business. We can handle any of your concrete restoration problems, whether they are residential or commercial. Some of the areas that we excel in for our residential clients are:
- Epoxy injection system
- Concrete grinding to remove trip-and-fall hazard
- Concrete pool deck repair and restoration
- Concrete patio repair and restoration
- Concrete driveway repair and restoration
- Concrete walkway repair and restoration
- Concrete step repair and restoration
We Do It Right The First Time
Is your pool deck cracked and uneven? How about your driveway or walkway? We have all seen these areas with large, unsightly cracks that not only affect the appearance but also create a trip and fall hazard for you and your guests. We have all seen these areas repaired, and most of the time the repairs look worse than the actual damage itself. That's because most company's or handymen just simply fill those concrete cracks with a cheap caulking or rough cement, and then paint over the area.
Nine times out of ten you can see exactly where the repair was made, and in most instances, within a year the area is separated and the concrete cracked all over again. Not good. Like everything else that we do, at CPS we do it right the first time. We don't just throw caulking in the rack with a dab of paint. That's for the amateurs. We are professionals.
Concrete Repair Procedure
The first thing we do is determine exactly why the area is damage, what has caused it? A tree root? Ground settlement? A leaking water pipe under the area? Cement just doesn't fall apart, there is always a reason.
- Once we find the reason
- We grind the entire cracked area out and clean the damaged and corroded concrete thoroughly.
- Next, we apply injection molded synthetic cement based material into all of the cracked areas.
- We also use epoxy injection system, that when dry it is harder than concrete
- The area is then texturized to match exactly the texture that you have now.
- The area is then painted to finish with the exact color match of the surrounding area.
Now your unsightly concrete driveway crack is repaired, and your driveway or deck looks like new again with no signs that there was ever any damage or problem. And we are so sure of our work, that we offer a two-year warranty on any repairs. No one does that. No one. We do because we know how good our work is.
Commercial Clients
For our commercial clients we offer all of the above, but realize that commercial properties and condominiums have many added features that residential homes do not. These include:
- cement ballister railings
- overhangs
- large stair cased entrance ways
- entrance walls to the community
- unsupported patio decks
- and much more
Let's take an unsupported patio deck on your typical Florida high rise. Before the patio decking is poured, the deck is formed with bars of steel called re-bar ( reinforcement bar). The cement is then poured into the form to shape the deck. railings are then bolted onto the outside of the deck. Over time, water seeps into the small cracks and holes made by the railing hardware. This water causes rust on the rebar, which then swells and cracks the cement decking. If left for too long, the rebar starts to lose all of its support capability, and the patio cracks, crumbles and becomes very dangerous. We will not only repair this, we will also seal the area to prevent any further deterioration. When completed your deck will not only look brand new, it will also be structurally sound and safe to be on.
Commercial Annual Contract
For our commercial customers, we offer special annual contracts that provide for us to perform a complete structural inspection and maintenance of these areas. We look at everything and provide you with a detailed list of exactly what we have found, and how we are going to correct the problem. Annual inspections provide you with the necessary information you need to head off a disaster in the future. And it is far more cost efficient to do an annual inspection and maintenance.
Too many times property's wait until they have an actual collapse or pieces falling from an area to address it and take care of it. Wouldn't you rather spend a fraction of the money to perform a simple repair, rather than spending a fortune to complete a major restoration? Not to mention the liability factor that this can bring. So whether it is for your home, or a high-rise on the beach, at CPS we can take care of all your cement repair and restoration projects, and you have the assurance knowing it is being done right the first time.
We Guarantee all of our services and will quickly respond to any issues that may arise. If you want it done correctly the first time then call us today @ 239-249-5290 or request a free online estimate. You will be glad you called us first. We are absolutely the most reliable concrete repair company in Southwest Florida.

DEFINITION of Citizenship Test
One of the key criteria set forth by the IRS that a person must satisfy in order to be claimed as someone else's dependent. The citizenship test dictates that the prospective dependent must be a citizen of the U.S., a resident of Mexico or Canada, or an adopted alien child who has lived with the taxpayer for the entire year. If none of these criteria are met, then the child or person cannot be claimed as a dependent under any circumstances.
BREAKING DOWN Citizenship Test
The Citizenship Test, from Internal Revenue Code Section 152, is one of several tests that must be met in order for someone to be claimed as a dependent. The others include the relationship test, the gross income test, the support test and the joint return test. This Citizenship Test is not to be confused with the test that is administered to immigrants seeking citizenship in this country.
There are two ways and individual may be classified as a US citizen. One may either be born within the U.S. or one must become naturalized, which is a legal process governed either by a treaty or by congressional authority. U.S. citizens whose children are born outside the U.S. and who do not regularly reside in the U.S. use an Application for Certificate of Citizenship to apply for citizenship for their children when certain conditions are satisfied. Furthermore, both the citizen parent and the child must succumb to interviews with a United States immigration officers, and the child in question must satisfy a set of required conditions at the time his or her Oath of Allegiance is taken.
If you were a U.S. citizen when your child was born, the child may be a U.S citizen, even if the other parent was a nonresident and the child was born in a foreign country. In this case, as long as the other dependency tests are met, the child is your dependent and you may take the exemption—even if the child lives abroad with the nonresident alien parent.
If you are a U.S. Citizen living abroad, who has legally adopted a child who is not a U.S. citizen or resident, and the other dependency tests are met, the child is deemed to be your dependent, therefore you may take the exemption if your home is the child's main residence, and the child is a member of your household for your entire tax year.

|Andragoras III
Sovereign of Pars Kingdom
Large sword
|Voice Actor(s):
Takayuki Sugou
Andragoras III (アンドラゴラス三世) is a secondary character in The Heroic Legend of Arslan and a non-playable character in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend.
He is the eighteenth king of the Pars kingdom who is renowned as an invincible commander. His shining feat before his enthronement was conquering the Badakhshan region and absorbing it within Pars. To the public, Andragoras was crowned when the previous king (his older brother) succumbed to his dire illness. In reality, Andragoras assassinated Osroes to claim Badakhshan's Tahamenay for himself. Inept with politics and governing, his reign centered on conquering neighboring kingdoms through military might.
Andragoras leads the troops against the Lusitanian invasion at Atropatene Plains; he is utterly defeated by Kharlan's betrayal and the Zahhāk Gurus' magics. He is held captive by Hilmes in Pars's goals, and his whereabouts are unknown to many of his followers due to the confusion of their panicked retreat. One of the objectives of Arslan's coalition is validating his survival and rescuing him.
Role in GameEdit
In Free mode, "Clash with the Parsian Army" has Andragoras lead a Parsian onslaught against Sindhura only to be driven out by Jaswant. His capture is seen in the DLC Scenario "Pursuit of Andragoras" despite Vahriz's efforts to protect his king.
Andragoras is deaf to human empathy and generosity. Anyone who stands in his way is as good as dead to him. Even people who treat him well are not immune to his wrath. He is a greedy, stubborn and small-minded thug who only thinks of himself. Priding his indisputable might and intimidation in warfare, he revels any chance he can take by force. Yet Andragoras is severely outclassed by anything outside of his scope. Crippling him with logic and practicality causes him to erupt into a blind rage.

|Volkswagen Beetle Gr.3
|Appears in
|Gran Turismo Sport
|Max Power
|4369 mm
|1958 mm
|1347 mm
|1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb)
|Power/Weight Ratio
|2.03 kg (4.5 lb) per horsepower
The Volkswagen Beetle Gr.3 is a race car produced by Volkswagen, based on the 2011-present Volkswagen Beetle. It first appears in Gran Turismo Sport.
In-game description
The Beetle is an important part of Volkswagen's history and heritage. But contrary to its cute looks, this car has also had its time in the limelight of motorsports as far back as the 1950s. Early in its history the Beetle had won the East African Safari Rally 3 times, and was a part of the top group in the Greek Acropolis Rally. There have been one make races based on the new Beetle that debuted in 1998, and in more recent years it has seen notable success in the Global Rallycross held in the U.S.
This Beetle Gr.3 is a model that traces this racing legacy of the Beetle. The greatly modified exterior and internals contain the essence of racing victory that Volkswagen has nurtured over the years. The body is widened to allow bigger diameter wheels, and the roof has been lowered to reduce the frontal projected area, giving it a look similar to a modified classic chop-top Beetle. The front spoiler, the air outlets from the front tires to the door panels, combined with a giant wing in the rear tells a lot about the performance levels of this car.
The powertrain consists of a DOHC 2-litre inline-4 with a high-pressure turbocharger, combined with VW's proven 7-speed DSG. Its power will vary depending on the Balance of Performance (BoP) per race, but is of course more than adequate for fighting in the Gr.3 class races.
This racing Beetle lives in a different dimension to the cute Beetles you see on the streets.
GT Sport
This car can be purchased in the Volkswagen section of Brand Central for 450,000 Credits. It can also be obtained by signing a Manufacturer's Series contract with Volkswagen, which is valid for one Manufacturer's Series season and allows the car to be used in Manufacturer's Series races.
- The default car number on this car is a reference to Herbie the Love Bug, which sports the car number #53 in all appearances.
- According to developer Kazuki "YAM23" Yamada, the car was designed by Volkswagen Motorsport rather than by Polyphony Digital themselves, as it was the case with fictional Gr.3 cars.
- Because of this, it is not possible to change the wheels or tire stickers of the car in Livery Editor. However, in Gran Turismo World Tour events, the car has been shown running with Michelin tire stickers.
- Unlike most fictional Gr.3 cars, the car features driver names by default: Bjoern Hackbarth (Germany), Tom Holden (Great Britain), and Xavier Delvallée (France), all of which are employees of Volkswagen at one point.
- This is also the only Gr. 3, or perhaps even, fictional race car in the game with its own unique description. Usually, fictional race cars would have an extension to their descriptions stating that it was tuned to a specific category's regulations, with no specifics whatsoever.
