The bike on which Team Sky cyclist Chris Froome won the 2013 Tour de France came to visit our offices ahead of a Sky Ride event.
I understand this is a Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think2 which is a carbon fibre made to measure machine costing about £10,000.
The bike weighed nothing and could be picked up wih one finger! The water bottles, when full, are heavier than the bike!
JAG: Almost a quarter of our garden is devoted to large leaved foliage plants reminiscent of equatorial forest. We were lucky to have started this neo-victorian patch twenty five years ago; giant-leafed Paulonia, native florida Magnolia ashei, a backdrop high wall of wind-protecting bamboo, palmetto clusters, our big Trochodendron, black bamboo clumps and hundreds of exuberant ferns and Petasites now are a mature backdrop for new faux tropical experiments. This red banana must be a decade old.
MF: Burle Marx was unknown to most when John started this endeavor to keep the tender tropical nurseries in business. This garden has provided its own stimulus plan. When we have wet summers it is spectacular.
I especially love hauling it all back into the garage in autumn. Thank God for Remay and bubble wrap. Hardy palms rule!
HMAS QUADRANT underway in choppy seas. The ship originaly HMS QUADRANT operated under the pennant number G.11 but was transferred to the Royal Australian Navy in 1945 and operated in the British Pacific Fleet. As such she, like other destroyers, changed her pennant number to one under the D flag (in this case D17) to bring them in line with the style of the United States Navy.

fractal art. The "prettiness" and curved nature of the flower-like clover at the center juxtaposes the harshly perfect points of the square corners surrounding it as well as being a touch of incongruity adding depth to the violent explosive feeling of the image overall.
Marton characterised students' learning approaches as "surface" or "deep".
Sfard suggested there are two main metaphors for how we think about learning - acquisition and participation.
This quadrant diagram tries to map out the relationship between these concepts by focussing on the learners' activities.

Quadrant Range from Ring Road South at the University of Birmingham.
This direction on a sunny November afternoon from the path towards the Lapworth Museum of Geology (wasn't going there this time).
As usual had to find my way into the Chancellors Court, that meant heading round to the right and eventually up close to the Bramall Music Building.
This is the listing below for the main buildings of the Quadrant Range.

1900-1909 by Sir Aston Webb and Ingress Bell, the D plan group main university
building of which only part were completed to the original design. The Great
Hall opposite the tower is the central axial building, to its front is a square
entrance hall with a giant round arched mullioned window, above an ornate
frieze over the loggia doorways, flanked by tapering square corner turrets
(to rear as well) which are topped by small ribbed domes. Over the hall rises
a low octagonal drum supporting a large ribbed dome and a miniature lantern.
Red brick and stone and buff terracotta dressings, but the conception is more
Byzantine than Renaissance. Behind the domed and galleried entrance hall with
ornate Renaissance grotesque relief carving, lies the Great Hall itself, a
vast tunnel vaulted space with cross vaulted
2 storey side galleries. Rich grotesque carving. Lavish stained glass by
T R Spence. The centrepiece of the hall has 2 storey quadrant links forming
the wing pavilions, 2 to the west but only one completed to the east. These
relate on a smaller 2 storey scale to the Great Hall being square on plan and
with similar ribbed domes but with round corner turrets, wings extending
behind. Flat lintelled window ranges on ground floor and large frescoed
friezes by Anning Bell below the parapets on the first floor level. The link
ranges have segmental arched windows. Modern part to east not of special interest.

I started exploring in the south-west quadrant. There are three seperate clusters of buildings and all appear to be quite unstable. The opposite side of this building houses the boiler and power generation rooms.
The Headquarters of Network Rail sits on the former site of the National Hockey Stadium, and is a typically large building with some interesting reflections in the windows. Odd panels too at the side, but this is an "eco" building I guess.
