Peony


One of my top five flowers would have to be the Peony Rose. I get all smiley and dreamy just looking at them. My ambition in life is to have a bed of glorious peonys at Castle Kiely, but like everything else it is just going to have to wait a bit longer.

The Back Area (doesn't qualify as a garden)




















You've seen the front, now you can get an idea of how truly fabulous the back of the house was when we bought it. I know you are all feeling very smug about your gardens now and that's why I posted these shots - It is kind of like a public service to make everyone feel good about themselves at my expense.

Can someone explain to me why many new Australian families feel the need to concrete over every available inch of soil and then build multiple out-buildings? Surfer Boy was particularly unimpressed when he realised these delightful red brick structures had been built with concrete instead of mortar - apparently this is not good - who knew?
















Looking back at these shots I am particularly impressed with the care they took to get the house 'auction-ready'!!
Tomorrow you can come for a tour inside...
Till then,

As quoted from the official site of Yamaha, Wednesday (04/28/2010) Yamaha 125 Xeon adopt cooled liquid that serves to control the temperature so the temperature at Yamaha claimed the engine remains stable.

Yamaha Xeon compression pressure is higher and more maximum power. But not explained whether the compression is higher than its competitors or scooter variants lower class below him.

For that detikOto try to compare with the Yamaha Mio Soul. As a comparison, 113.7 cc Yamaha Mio Soul, or variants of Yamaha's scooter highest current compression is 8.8: 1 with a maximum of 8.9 ps energy in 8000
rpm. While torque is 7.84 Nm at 7000 rpm. But if Yamaha claims 125 cc Yamaha Xeon higher, means it can be imagined how much compression Xeon Yamaha 125 cc.

In addition Xeon Yamaha 125 cc Cylinder DiASil also adopted a working quickly to keep the engine in order not to wear and machine condition remains stable.

Cylinder DiASil technology can also maintain long-lasting Forged Piston. Technology DiASil Forged Piston Cylinder and also immersed in Jupiter MX 135 cc.

Yamaha Throttle sensor pin on the Xeon 125 cc, so in addition to fuel economy, acceleration is also better because it fit with the opening of the carburetor, and RPMs.

While for the exhaust, 125 cc Yamaha Xeon contain elements of sportiness. Where pinned protective heat shock and the use of catalysts which function to reduce excessive exhaust emissions. Given that Yamaha claims 125 cc Xeon very friendly environment.

While the watchlist detikOto some time ago, the body size of 125 cc Yamaha Xeon is not far different from the big body of Suzuki SkyDrive almost the same alias. And for a fancy, Xeon also uses the cover of dusk light handlebar.

Add curious huh? Patiently waiting on the game later on Friday, April 30, 2010.

Front Door

I find doors fascinating. Whenever I pass an interesting door I am dying to see what treasures and delights lie within. I would love to be brave enough to have an outrageous front door but I fear I may never have the courage.

A House Becomes A Home

I'm going to revisit the very beginnings of Castle Kiely while I'm waiting 'oh so patiently' to move forward.
We bought in 2000 with grand plans of renovating and extending in a year or so!! As you can see it has proved to be a longer process than first anticipated due in part to the arrival of 2 small children.
I didn't fall in love with the house but I thought with a few cosmetic changes I could be on my way. It was never supposed to be our 'forever' house but now we don't want to live anywhere else.
Here is our lovely lady looking in dire need of some TLC on the day we bought her....
.

Surfer Boy didn't see the house in the flesh, so to speak, until the morning of the auction but luckily after an inspection to check stumps, roof lines and boring stuff like that, he agreed with me that there was heaps of potential to be uncovered.

We tried to squint our eyes at the red brick garage, the ARC pool fence and the red concrete verandah and 'Wallah!!!' A beauty was born. Nothing Surfer Boy couldn't fix! Needless to say after some inspired bidding by yours truly she was all ours and the dream became a reality.

Next up I'll give you a glimpse at the paradise that was the back garden!

Till then..

ITB Luncurkan Kendaraan Hemat Energi

Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) meluncurkan kendaraan hemat energi hasil karya mahasiswanya yang akan diikutsertakan dalam Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) Asia, Juli 2010 di Sepang, Malaysia.

Uji coba tiga kendaraan hemat energi itu dilakukan di seputar Campus Center ITB, Jalan Gaseha Bandung, Senin.

Ketiga kendaraan itu dirancang dan dibangun oleh tiga mahasiswa ITB untuk menjawab tantangan kompetensi yakni menempuh jarak yang ditentukan dengan konsumsi bahan bakar mininal.

Tiga kendaraan itu diberi nama Cikal, Rajawali dan Heave-Exia. Dua dari ketiganya, yakni Heave-Exia dan Rajawali akan berlaga pada kategori Futuristic Protoype, sementara Cikal akan berlaga di kategori Urban Concept SEM Asia 2010 di Sepang, Malaysia.

Team Leader Tim Cikal, Teuku Naraski Zahari, mengatakan, mobil yang dirancangny adalah konsep mobil hemat bahan bakar, aerodinamis dan ringan dengan rangka utama dari alumunium dan bodi dari carbonfober.

"Kami membuat sebuah kendaraan dengan desain bergaya modern, sesuai dengan kehidupan perkotaan saat ini yang serba praktis tapi tetap detail, katanya.

Mobil karyanya ini memiliki panjang 2,5 meter, lebar 1,2 meter dan tinggi 1,2 meter serta menggunakan bahan bakar jenis bensin beroktan 95 (gasoline 95).

Menurutnya, jika mobil rancanganya itu keluar menjadi jawara di SEM Asia 2010, bukan tidak mungkin akan diproduksi massal.

"Kalau ada yang mau modalin, kenapa ngak di produksi sevara massal. Insya Allah niat itu ada kok," ujar Teuku Naraski, nmahasiswa jurusan Teknik Elekto ITB angkatan 2006.

Sementara itu, Tim Heave-Exia merancang kendaraan Futuristic Prototype dengan konsep kendaraan prototip 3 roda dengan satu penumpang.

Tim Leader Tim Heave-Exia, Elingselastri, mengatakan, kendaraan rancangannya itu didesain secara aerodinamis dan menggunakan struktur ringan serta berbahan bensin dengan oktan 95 (gasoline 95).

"Untuk mesinnya sendiri kita menggunakan mesin Kanzen 80 cc yang kita modifikasi dengan dimensi panjangnya 3 meter, lebar 0,8 meter dan tinggi 0,8 meter," ujar Elingselastri.

Sedangkan Tim Rajawali membuat kendaraan dengan menggunakan mesin 35 cc dan berbahan bakar bensin dengan oktan 95.

Tim Leader Tim Rajawali, Ananta Bagas R, mengatakan, bentuk kendaraan yang ia rancang terinspirasi dari bentuk tetesan air yang aerodinamis.

"Dimensinya memiliki panjang 2,7 meter, lebar 0,75 meter dan tinggi 0,75 meter dan struktur body kendaraanya full carbon fibre serta menggunakan satu transmisi gigi," kata Ananta.

A Change Of Direction


It is getting tantalisingly close to 'renovation time' at our place. After 6 months at council we may finally have our plans approved in the next couple of weeks (or not, depending on the lovely people in the heritage department). I have been holding myself on a tight rein so as to not be too disappointed in the event of a knock back. My natural inclination to become completely immersed in paints finishes and floor treatment etc is on hold until we get a big red tick from the powers to be.
I had almost decided to stop this blog but I figure I may need an outlet for all my ideas so I am thinking Chalk & Talk may become heavily 'house obsessed' in the near future. I'm sure other stuff will make it's way on to the blog but I am going to try and focus on 'Castle Kiely' for the majority.
See you soon

Fitur Mazda2 Memberikan Gengsi Tersendiri

From the rider said mazda2 ...
One thing that makes me feel proud when driving on the island Mazda2 is when the eyes of foreign tourists heading in my direction. Some even smiled and raised his thumb. I do not know what makes them stunned, then I understand even less. While finding out, I could only smile back with a grinning face.

In the end, when I parked the Mazda2 in front of a craft store, so I understand the meaning of the stranger's smile.
"Wow, what a car is Green ... Very funny ...,?" Said a young woman with blond hair.
I then replied, "That's Mazda."

"I've seen it. Obviously this is a new car? It's beautiful," she said again.
From the brief conversation that I began to understand the purpose of greeting the President Director of PT. Mazda Motor Indonesia (MMI) Yoshiya Horigome. He said, "Most entries we received a very positive tone. They (the public) to justify our confidence in the car (Mazda2) which bears the title of the Word was Car of the Year."

Two sentences on top of what I need to underline here is "very positive" and "Word Car of the Year".
The second sentence is very sacred. Therefore, blessed are cars that can achieve that sentence. And, whether the two predicate Mazda2 deserves, I'll answer it here.

Mazda2 is quite unique. This car appears adorable. Not only from a small and simple design, but also rautnya sweet. Seeing the wide front grille, we will remember an expression of smiling children.
With a performance like it was only natural that Mazda claims the product as a fun car. Not only for penggendaraan in the city, but also outside the city. Not only for advanced riders, but also the beginner rider. Not just for women but also for young men.

Along with aggressive performance, like other recent product Mazda, Mazda2 was also built with good quality. The lines of inter-agency panel that was so right. Pengecetan also worked with the smooth. Even the materials used for thick and clear light.
For all outcomes, no wonder if Mazda is grateful to Ford so far has helped create a strong car.

Inland
Such as that offered by competitors in its class, nobody was standing on the cabin layout Mazda2. Instrument panel, speedometer display, the chimney and the AC button, until the gear lever position does not give a new look. Only practical design that looks unique just because of the dominance of spherical articulation.

Use of aluminum-accented also still prefer to emphasize the sporty interior elements. Mazda2 melangkapi panel aluminum accents on door trim, the transmission lever, and bar the rim.

Performance and Control
Before explaining the performance, first I will declare my steering system provided Mazda2.

Technology Electric Power Assist Steering system (EPAS) was injected at a super mini Mazda can be proud. Section, the effectiveness of this technology has been most effective when I move the steering wheel in the parking lot. Lightweight and measurable is a fact that can be felt. Even he can also show its effectiveness when the car drove at high speed.

In short, the Mazda2 as the steering system that is able to lock the intelligent control of the shaft at right angles. Turn to low speed and aggressive maneuvers at high speed become so easy with the Mazda2.

"I've seen it. Obviously this is a new car? It's beautiful," she said again.
From the brief conversation that I began to understand the purpose of greeting the President Director of PT. Mazda Motor Indonesia (MMI) Yoshiya Horigome. He said, "Most entries we received a very positive tone. They (the public) to justify our confidence in the car (Mazda2) which bears the title of the Word was Car of the Year."

Two sentences on top of what I need to underline here is "very positive" and "Word Car of the Year".
The second sentence is very sacred. Therefore, blessed are cars that can achieve that sentence. And, whether the two predicate Mazda2 deserves, I'll answer it here.

Mazda2 is quite unique. This car appears adorable. Not only from a small and simple design, but also rautnya sweet. Seeing the wide front grille, we will remember an expression of smiling children.
With a performance like it was only natural that Mazda claims the product as a fun car. Not only for penggendaraan in the city, but also outside the city. Not only for advanced riders, but also the beginner rider. Not just for women but also for young men.

Along with aggressive performance, like other recent product Mazda, Mazda2 was also built with good quality. The lines of inter-agency panel that was so right. Pengecetan also worked with the smooth. Even the materials used for thick and clear light.
For all outcomes, no wonder if Mazda is grateful to Ford so far has helped create a strong car.

Inland
Such as that offered by competitors in its class, nobody was standing on the cabin layout Mazda2. Instrument panel, speedometer display, the chimney and the AC button, until the gear lever position does not give a new look. Only practical design that looks unique just because of the dominance of spherical articulation.

Use of aluminum-accented also still prefer to emphasize the sporty interior elements. Mazda2 melangkapi panel aluminum accents on door trim, the transmission lever, and bar the rim.

Performance and Control
Before explaining the performance, first I will declare my steering system provided Mazda2.

Technology Electric Power Assist Steering system (EPAS) was injected at a super mini Mazda can be proud. Section, the effectiveness of this technology has been most effective when I move the steering wheel in the parking lot. Lightweight and measurable is a fact that can be felt. Even he can also show its effectiveness when the car drove at high speed.

In short, the Mazda2 as the steering system that is able to lock the intelligent control of the shaft at right angles. Turn to low speed and aggressive maneuvers at high speed become so easy with the Mazda2.
