Greenside Out is a mixed-use housing development, which won 2nd place in an invited design competition and includes housing, office and commercial space. The design for the 9,000 sq meter complex emerged from a block form with spherical cutouts taken from the center. These cutouts provide a safer, more sheltered and private space for the residents. Each level is terraced with garden space wrapping the interior courtyard.
More garden space and vegetation in the courtyards and gardens around the building make for a more pleasant and inviting place to live. JA Joubert Architecture had envisioned the project to become a new benchmark in architectural design and help transform the city from a centrally focused city to a radial development minimizing the need for people to commute into the city center.

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Trigger Big Moves
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- There isn't a day that goes by on Wall Street when certain stocks trading near or under $10 a share don't experience massive spikes higher. Traders savvy enough to follow the low-priced names and trade them with discipline and sound risk management are banking ridiculous coin on a regular basis.
Just take a look at some of the hot movers today in the under-$10 arena, including Pansoft (PSOF), ripping higher by over 50%; Idenix Pharmaceuticals (IDIX), soaring over 30%; Smith Micro Software (SMSI), adding over 15%; and Achillion Pharmaceuticals (ACHN), up over 14%. You don't even have to catch the entire move in lower-priced stocks such as these to make outsized returns when trading.
>>5 Large-Cap Stocks That Could Pop in 2012
I'm not as eager to recommend investing long-term in stocks that trade less than $10 a share because these names can be very speculative, and the odds for picking the long-term winners aren't great. But I definitely love to trade stocks that are priced below $10. I like to view them as a trading vehicle with lots of volatility and lots of upside when the trade is timed right.When I trade under-$10 names, I do it almost entirely based off of the charts and technical analysis. I also like to find under-$10 names with a catalyst, but that's secondary to the chart and volume patterns.

Item # MAV0316
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Helmets in stock than that.
Mavic Syncro Helmet $0.00
Syncro safe.
The Mavic Syncro Helmet is the perfect option for anyone who wants a high quality helmet that's ready for all situations, but doesn't break the bank. Though the Syncro is on the entry-level of the Mavic options, you will never feel like you are getting any less of a helmet, especially when it comes to comfort. Mavic has lavished the same technology on the Syncro as it has its Plasma and Plasma SLR. They conducted cranial mapping tests to make sure that their helmet shapes closely match typical head shapes with pressure points and contours identified and accounted for. The interior shape of the helmet consequently flows along with the curves of the skull.
Since heads are still all fundamentally unique, Mavic added the Ergo Hold System, which allows for as much as 6 centimeters of one-handed, on-the-fly size adjustment. For the final touches on fit perfection, as well as excellent moisture management, Mavic has included their Ergo Fit Pro Pad. It might not seem like much when you look at it, but the Ergo Fit Pro Pad is a low-density open cell foam that wicks water from the skin and transports it to where it can evaporate quickly.
Mavic then took a hard look at what they could do for the exterior of the helmet. First, they fashioned a sleek profile that has a low volume construction to reduce weight. And with the thoughtful nod to those of you who will be using this helmet on the trails, Mavic has included a removable lightweight visor and plugs.
The Mavic Syncro Helmet has been kitted out with reflective highlights to give you that extra level of protection in case you are caught out after dark. It is available in Black/Red, Dark Silver Metallic and White Pearl. The Syncro comes in a Small, Medium or Large option.
- Low-density, open-cell foam pulls moisture away while higher-density foam provides pressure-free support
- Ergonomically designed, dual-density high grip dial for on the fly retention adjustments
- Removable, lightweight visor and plugs for road and cross-country use

Perfect helmet for small heads
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The helmet has nice construction and quality. I have a very small head and tried on helmets from many different brands including Specialized, Bell, Giro.
I found the Mavic to fit smaller than all of them. Stylish design, it looks great from a side profile. No big mushroom fit. Lightweight. The click-style adjustment for tightening works well. I can get a snug 360-deg fit without slippage or causing headaches. Comes with low-profile visor which I like because I don't wear sunglasses.
I have been using this helmet for several months now. I'm glad to have found a brand that fits well for me, I've got my eyes on a Mavic Plasma or Plasma SLR for my next one.
My only gripe with the helmet is the straps don't quite clear my ears. I'm talking about the part where it comes together in a V. It's not bothersome when riding.
Emily Forsdick
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is a tough, sorta heavy, but extremely breathable helmet. Even the little extra weight it has is no match for how nice and cool it keeps my head. It is so efficient that way, that i am going to have to buy a cover, or a really nice hat for the winter rides!
Nice Helmet... but runs small
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift
I bought the helmet because I loved the way it looked and the sales price was just right. Unfortunately, my head is apparently too wide and the helmet didn't fit. My wife's head, which is the same circumference as mine, isn't as roundish so it fit her fine. The helmet looks good, comfortable and she likes it.
Helmet is great but definitely runs small so should order size up.
Is this still covered by the warranty?
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was just turning the knob to tighten it and it snapped.
There is a 100% return guaratee in this site, you can return an item no matter what, no matter when, so just return it :)
Price is nice :)
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought this for a family member new to cycling - great entry level helmet. Has good air channels for a chill head, like the white - as long days in the sun reflect rather than absorb the sun ;) I agree with the other reviewers in regards to the small sizing. If you are a medium, size up to a large. For those in between or close to a change in size, there are three small adjustment tabs that you may further alter the fit of the helmet ( see pic) this allows for the helmet to fit lower on your thinker :) Only four stars due to the size inaccuracy that's on Mavics plate.
Grant Jones
Great helmet with some quirks
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Syncro has worked out very well for me, i purchased the Large in black and have had few problems for the past 4 months with it. Seems to be well made, the matte black is a nice touch. The biggest complaint is the straps are very short and don't allow for much wiggle room in adjustments. It does land a bit on the heavy side but as a beginner cyclist this didn't worry me much. Side note, the cycling glasses i use don't fit in the vents, they have straight back arms and fall out easily.
My head measures 22.75" around which...
My head measures 22.75" around which suggests a medium helmet? Correct?
Looking at Mavic Syncro
Go with the Large :)
Collin S
Not bad, but small
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift
I wear a medium in Giro, Bell, and Lazer, and figured this helmet would be the same. This helmet just barely fits. I pretty much max out the think. I actually bought it for my little brother who has a slightly smaller head, so it works out. Besides the fit, its a pretty nice helmet.
Crispy Prime Rib
Love it!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a very nice helmet at a really good price. Picked up the black helmet for mtn biking and is very light weight and allows for maximum breathing. Also has a removable visor for road biking as well, and is low profile and has a great look. My only complaint is the stickers starting peeling off after the first couple times of use, so I took the rest of the stickers off and use goo gone to get rid of the gum.
Great Helmet!..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love the fit, euro-style and finish of the helmet. I myself after reading all the posts, I went one size up as I normally wear a medium road Bell helmet, so I ordered the large and the fit was excellent. My head size was 58 cm so I was in between the medium and large, to play it safe and after some research I went with the large (1 size up). The visor was not attached to the helmet when purchased (a plus), so the helmet is set for road and you can clip the visor later if you wish. When the helmet arrived, the fit was great and I did not have to use the additional padding (provided) to adjust the fit. Overall, great helmet and at a great price now.
Strange straps
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I ordered 1 size up and the dome fit fine, but the straps were odd. In order to wear the helmet comfortably, I have to loosen them to within 1 inch of their maximum. They also have strange plastic pieces in them that prevent me from adjusting the ear triangle far enough, so the straps rub against my ears when I ride. It's not particularly uncomfortable, but I think it's strange because most helmets add on plenty of strap to keep it highly adjustable.
The dome also sits high, but snugly on my head. My sister looked at it and said that she didn't think it would protect the back of my head very well. I don't know if any of the helmets protect the back of your head, but I'd prefer one that does. I know people usually pitch forward over the handlebars, but if I get rear ended by a car, the most important part of my body to protect would be the bottom of my skull and the top of my spine.
I guess it must be fine if it passed safety standards...
Great Helmet-Size up 1 full S-M-L to fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was attracted to this helmet because of 2 factors: Ventilation and Styling!
1. The vents are large and numerous to provide a lot of air flow when riding.
2. The helmet looks great on the head and is form fitting with a single adjusting knob.
After reading other reviews, I went ahead and ordered the next size up because the helmets run smaller than listed. That was the right decision ... just subtract 3 cm from the chart to find your Correct size.
Adjusted Size Chart:
S (48 - 53cm)
M (51 - 56cm)
L (54 - 60cm)
Solid helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The thing that attracted me the most about this helmet was its style and ventilation. I love the extra venting and it has been very useful on those really hot days. The style is really unique but I find that it fits slightly awkward. Mainly i seems there is a little bit of pressure on the front of your head. I've adjusted the tightness and fitted it on in several ways but over a long ride I feel a little helmet sore which I don't experience from my other helmets.
Caleb Dobyns
Looks stylish. Feels fantastic. Light weight. Breathable. Overall this is a wonderful helmet.
Stylish without having to break the bank
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
They definitely fit small. I had to get a L on my asian size head. They fit very nice especially with the adjustment strap retention system. Very lightweight and doesn't feel like anything is on your head. I've tried on Giros before but I would think the Giro fits nicer on my head, but this helmet has a cleaner look and a slicker design IMO. They are similar to the Plasma and SLR models except the vent holes are smaller on this one. It didn't seem to bother me at all.
I knock one star off because they fit small, but overall pretty comfortable for me. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Chris Tatsuno
Comfy and breathable!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this helmet for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it! We had to return the size small for a size medium, but the helmet fits pretty close to normal sizing standards. With great ventilation and well-placed padding, this helmet rated high on comfort!

Great buy.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The fit on this helmet is incredible! Stays cool even in the 90 degree humid summers here in the south. Quality is top notch too. You will not go wrong with this helmet.
Great helmet
I got this on clearance last fall and I'm not sorry I did. It fit great, has good ventilation and is pretty lightweight. All helmets have to meet the same safety requirements, regardless of price. I find it difficult then, to justify spending nearly twice the cost of this helmet for some other ones. Weight and fit are the differences between really cheap helmets and really expensive ones. My size large weighs 358g. A $200+ helmet might weigh a little less than 300g, but my head is huge , so I could care less! The adjustment system in the back and the straps works really well, and the buckle being off to the side is a great design. I would recommend this to anyone looking for the next step up from a basic helmet design.
Christy J
Comfortable with excellent ventilation
I bought the Mavic Syncro mainly because I liked the look of the ventilation. After my first hot ride in this helmet the function of the vents far outside the looks. The ventilation over the forehead is out of this world! No more overheating while climbing canyons.
I did notice the helmet fits slightly more snug than your 'average' helmet. I got the medium and it fits just perfectly but I feel like I could have gone with the large and been happy. Well worth the coin.

Obstacles Remain
BI software deployments have gone up, and businesses are finding new uses for the tools every day. At the same time, consolidation is changing the competitive landscape, forcing CIOs to make tough decisions on purchasing. See how the experiences of several companies can help you evaluate needs, troubleshoot problems and plan a successful deployment.
Story Guide:
Also in This Feature:
Next Page: Have Business Found BI's Benefits Yet?
IT managers are grappling with the continued expansion of applications and, subsequently, the growing amount of data coming out of the applications.
In the past, businesses turned to Excel and other spreadsheet programs to gather and analyze all that information. But those options only went so far.
Enter business intelligence. The software tools under the BI umbrella have quickly become commonplace in enterprises.
Advances in capabilities and usability, as well as integration with other key components of the IT infrastructure, have led nearly three-fourths of businesses to make strategic implementations of the tools, according to Gartner.
Worldwide revenue for business intelligence software in 2006 was $4.3 billion, and the market is expected to grow to about $5 billion this year, Gartner research shows.
"Business intelligence holds the promise of being able to mobilize your people's minds with information as they are making their decisions," says Bill Hostmann, an analyst at Gartner.
"Businesses realize the big, long reports and complex sets of disparate information they've relied on for years can no longer get the job done."
But obstacles must be overcome for business intelligence to reach its full potential. For one, use of the software often remains challenging for those without specific analytical training.
Deployments need close scrutiny and, in many cases, outside assistance for companies to achieve maximum benefit. And widespread use across a broad set of users in any business can require significant tailoring to meet the requirements and skills sets of a diverse workforce.
While 72 percent of IT executives in a recent survey by CIO Insight, Baseline's sister publication, say their business intelligence efforts have had a major and measurable impact on their companies' bottom lines, almost six in 10 also say users don't know how to analyze or interpret the associated data. (See the CIOI survey data and analysis.)
In recent years, IT managers— and BI vendors—have looked to expand use of business intelligence tools, once privy to a select group of analysts and executives (aka "power users") to a much broader set of decision makers.
Still, even in many businesses that have deployed significant business intelligence platforms, hands-on use of the tools often remains a function of the IT department or specific data analysts. Research analysts told Baseline they believe as few as 20 percent of workers who could use the tools take advantage of them, and those who do only use the tools in a limited capacity.
But a shift is certainly under way as more users continue to use BI tools. That's because the software's let susers capitalize on massive amounts of data by making it easier to understand. As end users find relative information and manipulate it to provide insight, businesses can improve efficiencies, sales and customer service.
Gaining Acceptance
The evolution of business intelligence has also caused a shift in how leading IT vendors interface with businesses, as the tools have begun to appeal to business decision makers and operations managers in addition to those managing the IT infrastructure, according to Hostmann.
Strategic adoption of business intelligence can require a significant shift in how both the IT department and its clients deal with critical information. When Steve Canter, CIO of Berlin Packaging, a leading supplier of rigid packaging such as glass and plastic bottles, jars and tubes, sought to expand BI throughout the organization, he found many users reluctant to give up old methods and try the new tools.
For years, the company's information services department had delivered canned Business Objects' Crystal Reports in response to requests for sales data. "We could never get the traction we needed to make those early business intelligence efforts really successful," Canter says. "The idea of slicing and dicing their own cuts of data I think overwhelmed some potential users at first." Canter kept searching for a "killer app that would make business intelligence really fly," and believes he finally found it in the company's annual budgeting process. Each of about a dozen departments within Berlin Packaging is required to prepare an annual budget, a process that used to require dozens of spreadsheets. "It was long, complicated, manual and tedious," he says.
Canter used the budgeting cycle to show department heads how they could apply BI capabilities from Microsoft SQL Server and Office PerformancePoint Server to streamline the process and create more accurate forecasts by using a single platform to access data across the company and configure it to meet specific requests. The result was about a 50 percent reduction in work hours dedicated to budgeting.
"They began to see IT was something they could sink their teeth into and gained appreciation for the depth of analysis available," he says. "Suddenly there was a groundswell of demand and people are licking their chops at what we might do with BI going forward."
Businesses are also deploying business intelligence to minimize the "needle in the haystack" approach to new customer initiatives, focusing marketing efforts where they can maximize return. Corporate Express, for instance, a provider of office and computer products and services, wanted to improve its online efforts and create an enhanced "also consider" or "recommended items" feature within its Web site checkout process.
Earlier this year Corporate Express began using the MicroStrategy business intelligence platform to create a "market basket" application based on predictive analytics that could be used by its more than 20,000 e-commerce customers who create about a million orders every month, says Matt Schwartz, director of business analysis.
"We saw we had a lot of real estate on our Web site that could potentially help us broaden sales, but we wanted something driven by well documented algorithms," he says. "We wanted the market basket tool to be based on actual customer buying patters and not some arbitrary items we selected." When a customer goes online to purchase a stapler, for example, staples and a staple remover are obvious additional purchases; last December the Corporate Express Web site also recommended glue sticks. The MicroStrategy tool helped Corporate Express document that staplers are often included in a "new employee bundle" along with waste baskets, tape dispensers, pencil holders and desk calendars.
Since creating the analytics-driven market basket option for its site, Corporate Express has seen the average order for individuals who make additional purchases increase by about 50 percent, Schwartz says.
That success has convinced the company's senior leaders that business intelligence can be a differentiator; Corporate Express is now rolling the software out to about 3,000 employees, Schwartz says.
Other Uses
Intensifying regulatory requirements and the critical nature of data had directors at Maine Medical Center (MMC) in Portland looking for a more accurate, flexible way to create employee "scorecards" for nurses and doctors to track performance and patient satisfaction.
"We were refining our structure of accountability around patient safety and quality, with the expectation that every department would have definable initiatives for improvement on strategic objectives," says J. Peter Chingos, manager of data analysis for performance improvement at the hospital.
The hospital's previous efforts had been limited to spreadsheets and a common scorecard for all workers and departments. The scorecards were distributed on biannually by e-mail or posted in a shared directory. MMC wanted a customizable platform that could be updated at any point. It deployed SAS Institute's business intelligence tools, including its Strategic Performance Management software, to create scorecards designed as dashboards that provide information compiled through the monitoring of more than 50 key performance indicators including length of stay, patient falls, patient satisfaction and physician satisfaction.
The tools have helped the hospital improve quality of care, Chingos says. Since implementing them, MMC has found fewer patient falls, and hospitalacquired infection rates have decreased as the SAS platform has enabled the hospital to correlate specific diagnoses and infections, allowing nurses and doctors to take proactive measures.
Over time, information became unreliable for decision makers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, a Troy, N.Y., university and research institution, and important decisions had to be delayed due to conflicting and inaccurate reporting. University administrators and business officials couldn't come to an agreement on basic numbers and statistics—they didn't even know how many graduate students were enrolled, says Ora Fish, associate director of data warehouse services.
"It was pretty much in disarray at the cabinet level as they debated issues and wondered if they even had the right numbers," Fish says. "Having many versions of the truth and [not] being able to trust the numbers was one of our biggest issues. We had all kinds of numbers, but could never seem to get a straight answer."
Building out a data warehouse and business intelligence platform that met Rensselaer's requirements demanded significant expertise, Fish says.
Rensselaer worked with DecisionWorks Consulting to identify key information components and establish standard definitions and processes to ensure consistent reporting.
An Oracle data warehouse was created, pulling in information from various areas of the university including admissions, financial aid, finance, human resources and research. The Hyperion Performance Suite business intelligence package was integrated with the data warehouse, and about 650 users began using the platform.
The Rensselaer IT staff worked with each department to understand what kinds of processes would best meet their requirements and to build usage models around which to tailor the platform. IT offered users a training program and a question-and-answer meeting and e-mails weekly tips to those using the tools.
The admissions office now does year-over-year analyses, comparing admissions across demographic and geographic areas and checking student retention patterns. The financial aid office can review percentages of students receiving aid and the kinds of assistance they receive. All departments can use the tools to check spending projections, status of budgets and grants and other financial specifics.
Obstacles Remain
MassHousing, the Massachusetts state-facilitated public housing authority, faced problems in moving and retrieving information across its six divisions, which handle millions of dollars in financing for affordable housing, according to BI project manager Carl Richardson. If people wanted to see total loan amounts across divisions, for instance, they would have to access multiple databases and then manually correlate the data, Richardson says.
MassHousing directors wanted to centralize data that was siloed in those divisions and create an information system that would provide executives with access to pertinent information with greater accuracy.
The agency deployed the Cognos 8 business intelligence platform in late 2005 along with the BEA Systems AquaLogic management system. An internal portal was created to provide users with a centralized entry point to access budget information and to proactively highlight reports presented to executives.
"It has enabled us to put the focus beyond the hard-copy reports on what has happened with the company, and show our corporate leaders trends and analysis they can use to map out the future direction of this agency," Richardson says.
But, Richardson acknowledges, BI will likely remain a challenge on multiple technical fronts.
"Right now the field is wide open— really almost too wide open," he says. "The possibilities are limited only by your imagination, and sometimes the hard part is trying to focus on what you really want to get done.
"We are at the beginning of a revolution, and I believe the trend toward business intelligence is still relatively new," he adds. "IT is a critical enabler that a lot of people still don't really understand, but as they see that even small efforts with the tools can yield some genuine results, the use will only grow."
Business intelligence is entering a third wave of deployment that has taken the technology beyond the hurdles of acceptance and some missteps by early adopters to a maturing technology that is gaining widespread support, according to IDC analyst Dan Vesset.
"The real benefits of business intelligence are just starting to develop with businesses that have been playing with this stuff for as long as a couple of decades," Vesset says. "As the intuitiveness of the tools continues to improve, the barriers of complexity are beginning to fall."

Business Intelligence: Maturing Steadily
Software and tools designed to transform a company's myriad forms of information into a controllable, consumable format that can be used to manage business performance.
Business Objects (just acquired by SAP), Cognos, Microsoft, MicroStrategy, Oracle (which bought Hyperion this year), SAP, SAS Institute WHAT'S HAPPENING: The new millennium has provided good traction for the BI market as tools have matured significantly and options for integration with other IT tools have expanded. As the technology has matured, consolidation has been the natural progression.
Two significant acquisitions have been announced this year and additional merger talks are ongoing. Many large enterprises remain in a transitory stage in their BI deployments, however, as they attempt to expand the scope of BI in their organizations and expand its use to larger groups.

Research reveals pain points for business intelligence managers. CIO Insight's October survey on BI revealed a number of obstacles in deploying BI tools. A snapshot of what respondents using BI identify as their biggest pain points:
- 64% say integration and interoperability with other systems such as CRM and ERP pose a problem.
- 57% say poor data quality significantly diminishes the value of their BI initiatives.
- 67% say spreadsheets are still their most widely used BI tool.
- 58% say most users misunderstand or ignore data produced by BI tools because they don't know how to analyze it.
- 61% say they don't have a center of excellence.

Tips for Successful BI Deployments
Organizations still struggle to make business intelligence an integral part of their IT strategies, but many are learning that careful planning can lead to success.
Make information a weapon. Businesses must reconsider how they treat the increasingly large amounts of data they collect, and use those assets to transform the relationship between technology resources and information.
They must understand that information is more than just numbers being shuffled around, says Gartner analyst Bill Hostmann. Instead, they should use data to manage efficiency and performance. "This is not a technology or an IT issue," he says.
Prepare to work. While out-of-the-box BI implementations can be beneficial, the most significant use of the tools results from hands-on tailoring of the platforms to meet specific usage requirements. A knowledgeable internal staff or the use of third-party services is sometimes necessary to enable full functionality, according to Steve Canter, CIO of Berlin Packaging. "There is still a lot of work that needs to be done with BI tools to ensure the right information gets into the hands of the right users," he says.
Gain acceptance. The broader the set of users in an organization that can use BI tools, the greater the chance a business will have in gaining maximum benefit. "Traditionally, predictive analysis has been something reserved for Ph.D.-level types," says Matt Schwartz, director of business analysis for Corporate Express.
"That's only the tip of the iceberg, and we're working to ensure that our BI effort can reach across the workforce."
As the business intelligence market matures, M&A heats up. In just two years the business intelligence market has grown by about $1 billion—30 percent—in revenue, and the market will total nearly $5 billion this year, according to IDC. This indicates a clear maturation of the market, and it is grabbing the attention of the world's IT giants.
As a result, merger and acquisition efforts within the market are red hot. The frenzy began in earnest in March, when Oracle announced it would buy Hyperion Solutions for about $3.3 billion. In October, SAP announced a "friendly takeover" of BI market leader Business Objects for nearly $5 billion.
"We are definitely seeing that more and more of the big application vendors like SAP and Oracle understand they need to compete more aggressively in the BI market," says Bill Hostmann, an analyst with Gartner. "BI today is still very much an adhoc approach to most businesses—an appendage to the information architecture. These acquisitions are intended to take all that information inside a company and make it available to more people in way that can help businesses figure out what information is really important and what is just a lot of background noise."
Following the SAP-Business Objects announcement, speculation on the next big move centered on an acquisition of Cognos, which IDC ranked the third largest BI provider in 2005. Potential suitors may include IT giants IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft, which already is fourth in the BI market with about 10 percent of worldwide revenue.
"This is an industry that is at the cusp of going mainstream," says Dan Vesset, an analyst with IDC. "Marker leaders understand that large enterprises are increasingly turning to these tools to get a better understanding of the complex nature of managing IT operations with an eye on business objectives."—D.D.

15 Beauty Tips You Should Live By
If skin docs and industry pros could sneak into your house, they might leave behind Post-its with these brilliant reminders.
By Cara Litke Sullivan
Clean out your makeup bag already!
When makeup has expired, the color can change and go on blotchy — but worse than that, "it can harbor all sorts of bacteria that you don't want near your skin or eyes," says makeup artist Laura Geller, founder of Laura Geller Beauty. To play it safe, replace mascara and eyeliner every three months, toss creams and liquids after a year, and chuck powders after two years. "It'll help if you write the date that you open a product on the tube or compact," Geller says.

Glorious Garnet and Diamond Ring
Stylish, current, and just…magnificent. Sixteen (16) old mine cut diamonds, each placed in a cut down silver setting, furnish the perfect surround for a large cabochon garnet.
Styling of the shank is superb. The shoulders of the 18k yellow gold band are embellished with black enamel work and provide an elegant yet simple backdrop for the lushness of the garnet set into a pinched gold collet mount. The diamonds are resplendent--each weighing approximately .04 carats with a total diamond weight of more than .60 carats; their radiance a most splendid contrast against the deep bittersweet wine color of the cabochon.
This was a ring to remember a loved one who has passed at age 80. With its gleam and sparkle one can imagine the high style which went along with this token of remembrance – certainly from a grand family.
Measurements: 11/16 of an inch (1.7 cm) in length north to south on the hand by 9/16 of an inch (1.4 cm) in width for the cluster area by 5/16 of an inch (0.8 cm) in depth. The garnet itself is 11 cm by 9 cm). This antique ring has a weight of 7.1 grams (4.6 dwt).
Ring Size: Size: US 6-1/2 (UK M; Euro just under 17; 53 mm) but easily sized by our jewelers. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: Engraved inside with "14 June 1864, Ob 80". Additional engraving illegible due to wear.
Condition: Excellent; light wear to the surface commensurate with age and use; internal flaw in garnet only evident under magnification.
Date & Origin: Circa 1860 and is most likely English in origin.
Note: All diamond and gemstone weights are approximate as the stones have not been removed in order to preserve the integrity of the setting.

The Ocean Blue, "Ultramarine" (Korda)
It's been more than a decade since Pennsylvania's The Ocean Blue released a full-length album and the quartet makes no secret that "Ultramarine" came together in bits and pieces as members David Schelzel, Bobby Mittan, Oed Ronne and Peter Anderson recorded here and there. Singer and songwriter Schelzel referred to it as a record done at a "glacial pace." It was worth the wait.
The 12 songs on "Ultramarine" recall the sincere clarity of the band's self-titled 1989 debut and 1991's "Cerulean" with songs that soar with grace, blend cascading guitars and rich keyboards with lyrics that manage to evoke sentimentality, optimism and an appropriate romantic longing without being cloying or grating.
It's akin to returning to the alternative, college-scene era of the late 1980s but with a definite and knowing contemporary streak. This evidenced by "Sad Night, Where is Morning?" which brims with melodic guitars, measured percussion and passion-infused singing from Schelzel declaring "my thoughts today, oh how they want to stray."

This is an important element, as on its own merits the Ducati Scrambler is a great back-to-basics motorcycle for the Ducati line, and at $8,600 for the Icon model, it makes for a killer entry point model for any rider into the Ducati brand. Having enough thrust to appease your motolust, the Ducati Scrambler Icon, as we tested it, is true to the basic Ducati performance heritage, and it fills Ducati's need for a budget commuter, off-road scrambler, and just "fun" second bike. But there is another component to the Scrambler that gets lost in translation, depending on what sub-genre of two-wheeled freedom you hail from.
A quick look at KTM's recent additions to its model lineup sees significant attention being given to the company's large and small-displacement machines, yet the middleweight bikes have remained seemingly untouched. That seems set to change, according to an interview MCN had with KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Saying that KTM would develop new v-twin engines in the 600cc to 800cc range over the next three years, the Austrian company seems set to its entire lineup revamped within the next few years. The new v-twin engines would compliment the small-displacement single-cylinder bikes in the sub-400cc category, as well as the two and four-cylidner bikes that KTM is pushing in the sport and adventure segments.
Good news for females riders in the European Union, as we hear that the FIM Women's European Cup has been folded into the European Junior Cup, which runs alongside the World Superbike Championship. Running alongside the EJC as its own class, young female riders won't have to decide between the two series, as they will score points in both. This relieves young ladies from having to choose between racing with just the girls, or the boys on an equal playing field…as now they will be doing both.Much of our focus lately has been on MotoAmerica's efforts and designs to rebuild an American presence in international motorcycle racing, but our European counterparts are hard at work as well.
Now that the Daytona Motorsports Group is no longer in control of AMA Pro Road Racing, intrigue has surrounded DMG's home race, the Daytona 200. An event that usually kicks off the motorcycle racing season in March, the Daytona 200 has been an outlier with its early schedule, endurance format, and technical challenges. The race always seemed forced upon the AMA schedule, and it required teams who wanted to be competitive to run different equipment and tires than what they were using for the rest of the season. The limitations on tires ultimately meant that the Superbikes, the premier road racing class, could not compete in 200 mile race, leaving the event for the aptly named Daytona SportBike category, which was a mix of middleweight machines.
KTM fans should brace themselves for another model, as the Austrians have been caught teasing a successor to the KTM 990 SMT. Based of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R platform, the new SMT borrows the Super Duke's core, and adds proper panniers, taller suspension, more cowling, and a windscreen. Visibly similar on the SMT are the chassis and motor of the Super Duke R, and as such the SMT highlights the same steel trellis design and single-sided swingarm. The LC8 engine can easily be seen as well, and the SMT-sucessor can be seen with even the same stock exhaust as found on the 1290 Super Duke R. In this machine, we can see KTM's response to BMW and Ducati's continued entrance into the sport/touring/adventure segment.
Hosting a ceremony today in Tokyo, Honda Motor Company announced that it has produced cumulatively 300 million motorcycles worldwide. The milestone, which was actually reach in September of this year, but just now celebrated by the Japanese company, comes in Honda's 66th year of making motorcycles, when the brand entered the market with the Honda Dream Type-D in 1949. Despite having 33 production facilities in 22 countries around the world, Honda's 300 millionth motorcycle was produced at the Kumamoto factory (Honda's primary plant in Japan), and the bike in question was fittingly a Honda Gold Wing 40th Anniversary Edition machine.
Erik Buell Racing's release of new models has been slow and steady, despite the American company teasing the names of its first three consumer-level machines from day one. EBR gave the world an early look at the 2015 Erik Buell Racing 1190SX, the streetfighter version of the company's EBR 1190RX superbike, and now we await the company's third model. It has long been rumored that the third model from Erik Buell Racing, the EBR 1190AX, would be an adventure-touring model, and Gary Pietruszewski, the Vice President of Global Sales at Erik Buell Racing, confirmed as much while talking to Autoevolution. Like the 1190SX, we don't expect EBR to re-tune the 1190AX's engine from its original superbike application.
Bad news if you live in Texas and want to grab the hottest trike on the market right now, the Polaris Slingshot, as the Lone Star State has rescinded its approval for Slingshot sales in Texas. Despite initially approving the Polaris Slingshot for sales on November 4th, the State of Texas reversed its approval, leaving Polaris to notify dealerships on November 10th that they would be unable to sell the Slingshot, for the foreseeable future. The issue comes down to the application of the definition of what is a motorcycle in the State of Texas, which defines a motorcycle "as a motor vehicle, other than a tractor, that is equipped with a rider's saddle and designed to have when propelled not more than three wheels on the ground." (Texas Transportation Code §541.201 (9)).
If you go in to your local BMW dealer and ask to look at their latest enduro models, you should brace yourself for a Laurel & Hardy routine, as the e-word is now persona no grata at US dealerships. Instead, BMW dealers have been instructed to use the word "adventure" instead, newspeaking would-be customers into a segment that BMW literally invented (with a little help from Ewan and Charley). BMW Motorrad USA has also struck the word from its online footprint (except for harder to change things like URLs), just as the German company has flooded the segment with multiple models (more on that later), namely the BMW S1000XR.
In addition the KTM RC390, KTM USA has also seen fit to bring the KTM 390 Duke to American soil for the 2015 model year. The absence of the small-displacement street bike on KTM USA's lineup for the past two year has been a curious one, as the 375cc naked bike has been selling quite well in other markets. Whatever reasons KTM USA might have for delaying the arrival of the KTM 390 Duke to the United States, the good news is that American riders will have it as an option starting next year. Pricing is set at $4,999, and includes Brembo brakes and WP suspension.

The battle is still fresh in the memory of its combatants, some of whom are still risking their lives in the desert. Get a unique, in-depth view of the war still being waged today.
- Take aim from both sides of the firing line at some of history's most famous battles.
- Awesome CGI sequences and interviews with leading experts bring the fight to life.
- A trademark SHOOTOUT! look at a Marine raid on a jihadist training camp on the Syria-Iraq border.
Take aim from both sides of the fight. SHOOTOUT! examines the personalities, the weapons, the firepower, and the leadership needed to defeat the enemy. With 3D CGI animation sequences and testimony from scholars and experts, the battles come alive as they looked to the soldiers and shooters themselves.
SHOOTOUT! applies its unique analysis to very recent history, deconstructing a battle waged in the summer of 2005. Join a thousand soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines on a raid of a jihadist training camp on Iraqs border with Syria.
The camp is a nerve center supplying expertise and equipment to the al Qaeda terror organization, helping radicals hone their deadly skills IED-building, hostage-taking, and the like before joining the insurgency in Baghdad. The camp itself has become a blight to the local people, who are brutalized daily by the violent militants.
When the Marines hit the camp, you see the action as only SHOOTOUT! can show it: enhanced computer renderings and three-dimensional animation, coupled with accounts from soldiers who were there. No other show puts you in the action and clarifies the battle like this hugely popular, unique series.

These tears cause pain and can eventually change the structure of the tendon.

Symbolic Gold Claddagh Ring
The giving of a Claddagh ring is a four hundred year old Irish tradition. Often having been passed down from mother to daughter, it is typically bestowed as a token of love or given in friendship. Composed of three elements of a central heart, two hands and a crown surmount, the symbolism for each is as follows: the heart represents love, the hands friendship and togetherness and the crown loyalty and fidelity.
Here this centuries old custom has been crafted in modern 9k yellow gold replete with all the mythos and ritual intact. Merely place the Claddagh ring on the right hand with the heart facing outwards and you are open to love. If the heart faces inward you are committed to another. Worn on the left hand with the crown pointing inward reveals engagement. Upon marriage the ring is inverted with the heart facing inward. Alternatively, just wear the ring as a beautiful piece of jewelry. For a man or woman.
Date: Modern estate.
Measurements: ½ of an inch (1.2 cm) at the widest. Weight of 2.9 grams (1.9 dwt).
Ring Size: US 9-1/2 (UK S-1/2; Int. Dia. 19.25; Euro 61 mm; Japan 19) and can be easily sized. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 375 (for 9k) and maker's mark of HOG and leopard's head for England and a Common Control Mark.
Condition: Excellent.
Origin: English in origin.
