Right, BMX started out with Euro BB's on minis, a few elite pros, and a whole bunch of cheap Asian crap that had cotter type cranks. What about my 2017/18 PK Ripper Super Elite that has a PF30 BB with a 30mm spindle? I cant find many replacements but hear that this is what the newest race frames are coming with? Hope this helps and if any one needs some more help just PM me or post up a Question. You can use any sealed American BB in a old school bike. ![]() Most of these are 20mm and a pain in the butt to find bearings for.Ĥ8 Spline is what most non pinch bolt cranks use. ![]() Redline and Eastern used this spindle mostly around 2000-2005 or so. I have never seen anything other than 19mm 8 spline cranks.ġ2 and 16 Spline was short lived. It was popular for a couple years 2010-2013 but most have went back to the Mid bearings because them seem to hold up for longer.Ģ4mm is a really new thing 2014 and is being used by a few companies.Ĩ Spline is the spline most commonly used on pinch bolt Cranks. Spanish is a super small Sealed bearing that is used in some NS Bikes. There is different size spindles but most are 19mm. A 19mm Mid bearing is the same bearing size used on a sealed American BB.Įuro is mostly used in Race frames built from the early 90s till present.Įasy to tell if it is Euro.Will have threads in the bottom Bracket shell. Most of the lower line bikes still use the standard American BB but most Mid Level-Pro Level use Mid. Most Bikes from 2000 up use Mid Bottom Bracket. There is also 20mm Very Rarely used.22mm used more on New School Bike. Most common size on the American BB Spindle is 19mm. Sealed Bearings have a sealed plastic cover and will have an Alloy Cup to install in the BB Shell. Unsealed is where you can see the ball bearings and has a stamped metal race that the bearings ride on. Most BMX Bikes built from 1978-2000 are American Bottom Bracket. ![]() Just putting this out there for those to see what will work. I get a ton of PM's and e mails on "what BB do I have" or will this kit work.

Once the applesauce compote is ready, you let it chill in the fridge with the dough. Tears were wept for this applesauce it was so good. Eventually, you start to get what looks like a chunky applesauce, that looks and smells and tastes so delicious. Once these apples start to caramelize, you add some apple cider and let the mixture reduce while stirring and mashing up the apples. You put brown sugar, salt, and butter in the pot on the stove, and once it thickens add some chopped Pink Lady apples. This was so enjoyable because it just smelt so damn good. While the dough was chilling, I made the compote. This recipe only calls for half of the rough puff recipe, so I put half in the fridge to chill for my apple tart and the other half in the freezer for later. They weren’t super distinguishable but they were there so I decided to go for it. So I let the dough chill for a bit longer and did it all over again, and this time, I had thin lines. I mistakenly rolled it out too thin the first time and I think I folded it the wrong way the second? Either way, wasn’t pretty. Once you’ve done that you cut the folded dough in half and should be able to see thin lines of dough throughout. You then rotate the dough 90 degrees and do it again. You take the chilled dough out of the fridge, let it warm up a touch, hit it with the rolling pin and then roll it out into a long rectangle, and then do the letter fold. Full honesty, this was the part I messed up. You then place the clumps of dough in plastic wrap, mold into a square and refrigerate for 2 hours. ![]() As Claire states in the recipe, this dough is meant to look and feel quite dryer than your average pie dough so I really had to restrain myself from adding more water. Then you add the sliced butter for the fridge and slowly add ice water until the dough comes together. Once the butter from the freezer is firm, you grate it into the dry ingredients and toss together. You start by freezing 1.5 sticks of butter and the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt), and then refrigerating the other 1.5 sticks of butter cut into thin slices. This was actually easier than I thought, which was a comforting surprise. The first component is to make the rough puff. Time management is a good thing to have on your side when deciding when you’re going to do this bake because the rough puff pastry does need to be chilled a couple times before it’s ready to be shaped. You make a pastry, make a compote, slice some apples and bake. With that excitement came some doubt, some questioning, some cheering, and a whole lot of butter.Īt the core (pun intended) of this recipe, there isn’t a lot to it. Julia and I were both so excited to make our first rough puff and really start to step into the light of “real” bakers like the ones we love to watch on TV. This week we made Claire’s Apple Tart with…wait for it…Rough Puff Pastry! Now, as a long-time fan of Great British Bake-Off but not a super experienced baker, I would hear the term “rough puff” said multiple times a season and watch with wonderment at the creations.

All crew members on board Swissair Flight 111 were qualified, certified, and trained in accordance with Swiss regulations under the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA). The cabin crew comprised a maître de cabine (purser) and eleven flight attendants. From 1982 to 1990, he had been a pilot in the Swiss Air Force. He was an instructor on the MD-80 and A320. The first officer, 36-year-old Stefan Löw, had approximately 4,800 hours of total flying time, including 230 hours on the MD-11. ![]() Zimmermann was due to turn 50 the day after the accident. Zimmermann was described as a friendly person with professional skills, who always worked with exactness and precision. Before his career with Swissair, he was a fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force from 1966 to 1970. He was also an instructor pilot for the MD-11. At the time of the accident, he had approximately 10,800 hours of total flying time, of which 900 hours were in an MD-11. The pilot-in-command was 49-year-old Urs Zimmermann. It was installed in first class five months later, in February 1998, due to delivery delays. The system was installed in business class one year before the incident, between 21 August and 9 September 1997. ![]() It allowed the first and business class passengers to browse the World Wide Web, select their own movies and games, and gamble. The in-flight entertainment system was the first of its kind equipped on the plane. The aircraft was powered by three Pratt & Whitney PW4462 turbofan engines and had logged over 36,000 hours before the crash. First and business class seats were equipped with in-seat in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems from Interactive Flight Technologies. The cabin was configured with 241 passenger seats. It bore the title of Vaud, in honor of the Swiss canton of the same name. The aircraft, a seven-year-old McDonnell Douglas MD-11, serial number 48448, registration HB-IWF, was manufactured in 1991, and Swissair was its only operator. Swissair Flight 111 was one of two ill-fated flights known as the "UN shuttle" (the other being Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in 2019) because of its popularity with United Nations officials traveling between the organization's two biggest centers. Several wide-ranging recommendations were made which were incorporated into newer US Federal Aviation Administration standards. The investigation carried out by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) concluded that flammable material used in the aircraft's structure allowed a fire to spread beyond the control of the crew, resulting in the crash of the aircraft. The search and rescue response, crash recovery operation, and investigation by the Government of Canada took more than four years and cost CA$57 million. It is also the second-deadliest aviation accident to occur in Canada, behind Arrow Air Flight 1285R. All 229 passengers and crew on board the MD-11 were killed, making the crash the deadliest accident in the history of Swissair and the deadliest accident involving the McDonnell Douglas MD-11. The crash site was 8 kilometres (5 mi 4 nmi) from shore, roughly equidistant from the small fishing and tourist communities of Peggy's Cove and Bayswater. On 2 September 1998, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 performing this flight, registration HB-IWF, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Halifax Stanfield International Airport at the entrance to St. The flight was also a codeshare flight with Delta Air Lines.

Between 17 six different issues of the first edition appeared on the market. Piranesi did not publish a second part, but in the following years he etched other plates similar to the original thirteen and revised the entire work. The first edition of the Prima Parte was printed in 1743 and comprised thirteen plates and a letter-press dedication. Clearly, Piranesi learned and developed further, but the level of the first publication at age twenty-three shows he already had the talent of a genius” (Robinson, p. Granted that some of its thirteen plates are little more than pleasant exercises in a set tradition, others are strikingly inventive, extraordinarily successful in their complex compositions, and remarkably sophisticated in their harmonious technique.

The books themselves are as monumental as the ancient towers they depict. Inspired by the recently discovered ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum and his visit to the sites, Piranesi turned his attention to the ruins still visible in Rome, some already almost 2,000 years old. His aim was both to record the vanishing past for scholars and to inspire contemporary designers to emulate the achievements of ancient Rome. It was a popular purchase among wealthy travelers, mainly British men, on their coming-of-age European Grand Tour. When it first appeared in 1756, the work established Piranesi’s reputation as an authority of Roman archaeology and architecture.

Compounding these problems is the controversy surrounding hunting as a means of managing deer populations. ![]() The possibility of deer transmitting diseases to humans and other animals also is a concern. ![]() In addition to damaging landscape plantings, the increased deer activity can cause property damage in vehicle-deer collisions. Ornamental trees and shrubs in residential and commercial areas suffer damage as deer seek alternative food sources. The most recent development has been problems associated with deer in expanding urban environments. More problems related to the high deer numbers became evident as agricultural crops suffered damage from deer traveling from the safety of the preserves to the fields to eat. Protected areas, such as state preserves, forests, and county and state parks, began showing stress. The remaining deer habitat became stressed by the high population densities. At the same time, their natural habitat was greatly reduced as a result of the continuing expansion of urban areas and conversion of native landscapes to agriculture. Iowa white-tailed deer have higher reproductive rates than those found in some other areas because of the high quality habitat.ĭeer populations increased dramatically across eastern North America during the 1980s and 1990s. However, they can easily detect movement. Their eye-sight is fair, and they have poor color vision. Deer have an excellent sense of smell and their hearing is well-developed. While-tailed deer stand 35 to 38 inches tall, although they may appear taller because of their long legs and slender bodies.

While most people are content with an inexpensive music streaming service that has a decent catalog, we know there are dedicated audiophiles out there for whom audio quality matters more than anything. What About High-Quality Streaming Services? We love services that have desktop and mobile apps, web players, and integration with smart devices, wearables, and car media systems, so you can access your tunes wherever you are. Wide Platform Support: Luckily, most streaming services have wide device compatibility and even support cross-device listening.Keep in mind that higher-quality audio files use up more data and take up more space on your device when you download them and that some services, like Spotify, give you control over streaming and download quality. However, lower-quality file types, like WAV and MP3, are more common and work just fine for casual listeners. Audio Quality: Services focused on audio quality pride themselves on offering 24-bit 320 kbps playback and using lossless FLAC file types (or at least higher-quality lossy file types, like AAC).We favor services that offer personalized playlist recommendations and have options for playlist sharing and collaboration. The best music streaming services also offer extensive tools for exploring music and checking out popular songs on charts. Catalogs & Playlists: Most streaming services boast at least 50 or 60 million songs, and some differentiate themselves by offering extras like audiobooks, podcasts, or videos.A few even distinguish themselves by offering a discounted plan for military and emergency responders, or with a slightly less expensive plan for two people living together. Most offer a super-basic free plan, discounted plans for students, standard individual plans, and multi-person family plans. Pricing & Plans: Surprisingly, pricing and plans are nearly identical for each service. ![]() Here's a little more on each important feature: What to Look for in a Music Streaming ServiceĮach streaming service certainly has its own strengths, but choosing one ultimately comes down to the devices you like to listen to music on and whether you value convenience over price or sound quality.
