The people from Alberta would love it too.
That sure is an auwful purdy bronze color, have not seen one yet and I'll bet looked even better in person. Nice bike. We are saving our pennies so we can buy one of these for my wife.
For the suspension needs talk to Alex at Konflict Motorsports. I was talking to him a few months ago and he was showing me the sweet new set up he has made for these bikes fixing the suspension short comings from the factory.
Okay the weekend has come and gone I been checking twice a day and not a hint. Where please!
I'm waiting to get some news myself and hopefully get it soon?
Nice spot.
Hi all,
I do have a place picked out but after some thought I'm going to cancel staying at the Resort for 3 days. It would have meant that 6 people share each cabin. So I will start looking again for something for us.
Indeed we would!
Would that be ok with everyone, there is camping there too and tons of great riding in the area?
Sorry Lycan1 due to the response I will come up with something better. I'll have lots of time to think about it while riding this winter.
Hi all,
A montage of video of some of my pre-riding.

Great job Lex...........any word on next year???
Now I'm really excited for next year! Can we just go now?
After I'm back from my trip I'll be going back Heli-Logging so that means shift work so I'll have a week off at a time and that will give me more time to venture away from home. I'm liking the Shuswap area though. Looks like a great place to ride around there.

I like the sounds of that...
Re: opening scene on this video ...
While you were at Horseshoe Canyon on the Bridge River, did you go down the side road to the canyon floor? Seems like a good side leg to explore
If I remember right isn't that one gated?
It was private land and gated.
Re Horseshoe Canyon:
I guess that settles it. We will have to be content to look from a distance.
Re next ride:
A request to have the start & finish locations nearby so as to drop off luggage again. Got to get more weight off the bike, as my waistline doesn't want to cooperate anymore. The previous setup at Harrison Resort was great for leaving gear for later pick-up, thanks
It is Native land and I did see a sign saying if you asked the Band Office for permission they may let you ride there. I'm hoping to do another circle ride next year but we will have to wait and see if it will work out again?
Cheers and Happy Holidays to all.
I more curious, as it seems like a nice place to camp for a couple of days. I have heard that there are gold prospectors in the area & that they need band permission for access. Was just not sure of that exact location, though. Would that be the Bridge River or Lillooet band?

The traditional pink ribbon for the Cancer Council's appeal for breast cancer has become two pink ribbons that form a heart.
The symbol that embraces the roles of both sufferers and carers was created to encompass "all that Pink Ribbon Day means to people: support, love, breasts and the pink ribbon image which is the international symbol for breast cancer".
Kirby Design was asked to develop an image that would become synonymous with the Cancer Council's annual fund-raising event. The brief was for a design that can also be used on items such as posters, backing cards, merchandise boxes, point of sale and the internet.
The Kirby Design team included client service director Gabrielle Hansen, creative director Gary Broadbent and senior designer Anna Fisher.
Research found very low awareness of Ausralia's Breast Cancer Day.
There was, however, an awareness of Pink Ribbon Day, which was Monday this week, by about 32 per cent.
Pink ribbons are sold throughout October to show support for people affected by breast cancer and help raise funds for research, education and support services.
The research also found limited knowledge about which organisations raised funds for breast cancer, with 35 per cent of respondents unable to name any, and 27 per cent saying none did.
According to those surveyed, the main reasons they donated to breast cancer charity were: to fund research to find a cure (32 per cent); a small contribution might help (25 per cent); and in memory of relative or friends who had suffered or died from breast cancer (25 per cent).
The target audience for the ribbon day promotion is women aged 20-plus and men whose partners, mothers, friends have been affected by breast cancer.
The Cancer Council Australia, the peak cancer control organisation, brings together eight state and territory community-based cancer councils.

Stringer to Apple: Protect Our Assets
Activist investor Carl Icahn is abandoning his proposal for a $50 billion buyback from Apple. The news comes as the heads of some state and city pension funds called on the company's shareholders to vote against the plan.
New York City comptroller Scott Stringer said Monday the proposal might lead to an infusion of cash for short-term investors. But he said it would create unnecessary risk for the retirement assets of thousands of city teachers, firefighters, and police.
"We don't have to listen to one investor whose timeline is different than the long-term prospects for our retirees and their retirement security," he said.
New York City's pension funds have $1.3 billion invested in Apple, making it the funds' biggest investment.
The head of California's pension funds also called on the board to reject Icahn's proposal.
Apple has already committed to returning $100 billion to investors through buybacks and dividends.

Women throughout the world are engaged in various activities as they celebrate Women rights, at least for this month. However, things will be quiet in the Sudan since the government has decided for some peace and quiet. Fahima Hashin who is active in female rights had planned many activities including forums and films and a get together meal, but she had to report "we didn't get permission from the security agents" for any celebration of Women Rights. She had 30 different female groups seeking to attend the event. However, Information Minister Ahmed Bilal was upset at her claim. He insists that Sudan women "can do whatever they like… but some want to make problems out of nothing."
After all, since there are no problems in the Sudan, aside from a few wars and mass murders, whatever could women find to discuss about their alleged deprivation of rights?? I find it noteworthy that women have rights in the Sudan, and if you doubt that statement, just check with security agents.

Cotswold-bound campers will be keen to cotton on to the many appeals of the very green and perfectly wild Far Peak Campsite, starting with an amble around the ample 25 acres all set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Roomy pitches, flat fields and a facilities block with hot water supplied - what more does one need for simply glorious Gloucestershire camping? Nothing, we agree, but just for that little something extra, how does a climbing centre grab you? Both kids and adults will be bowled over with the fun to be had on the climbing tower and bouldering activities available, which literally add dizzy new heights to the campsite.
Far Peak welcomes individual guests, couples, small groups and families, while all tents, tourers and motorhomes have the option of electric hook-up, perfect for anyone who don't fancy an all-out back-to-basics stay. The 'shire air and abounds of space will excite (and exhaust) high-energy little ones, while pups can enjoy a runaround too. The kids' play area has space for ball games and a low ropes course for channeling those inner athletes, while avid little Attenboroughs will enjoy exploring the nature trails around the wood- and parkland of the site.
When you've peaked at the climbing wall, take to the hilly walking and cycling routes accessible from the site for a further challenge, or maybe just tuck into a coffee and a cake in the climbing centre's café (we won't tell you if won't)...
Open from 13/03/2017 to 31/10/2017

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you're a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

IT Budget: Getting A Seat At The Table
Jonathan's business innovation training and experience includes an MS from Georgia Tech's business school and 20+ years of business technology practice with a diverse group of customers: government, military, law enforcement, financial services and healthcare.
Nobody denies that there's serious technology spending happening outside of central IT. 37% of respondents from a recent InformationWeek budgeting survey say that this spending is on the rise, and 25% say that IT only gets involved when invited by business units to do so. And, in an era where the integration of technology into all aspects of business is seriously on the rise, 14% say that IT spending is on the decline. What can IT leaders do to ensure that they are at the table when key budgeting decisions are made? It's about the carrot, not the stick, and focusing on business units' self interest. We'll review several key activities that IT can engage in to boost their chances of project success via a more healthy budget process. Our guest, who has worked at the world's second largest asset manager, will share insights about budgeting status quo both as internal IT and a consultant.
* Learn useful industry metrics that allow you to better present your case to management
* Review key IT pro activities that make IT top-of-mind during executive budget deliberations
* Gain insight about how traditional budgeting can impact business project agility and cost

I shoot independent range in my .45acp 1911 and it works great.
This is a discussion on 2nd trip. Little different this time. within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Had a good quick morning at the range. Knocked out 24 rds in the LCP with one failure to expell the exhausted cartridge. anyone ever ...
Had a good quick morning at the range. Knocked out 24 rds in the LCP with one failure to expell the exhausted cartridge. anyone ever had any problems with this...if so think it is a lube issue or anything??
also knocked out 30 rds. of 9mm in my glock 26, functioning flawlessly. Really pleased with this pistol. really pleased. all systems go here.
also picked up some self defense Magtech 9mm rds. and some independent range ammo. are these ok to load up through my glock. just wanna make sure and I trust the collective opinion I get here.
P.S. area b/w thumb and pointer finger still hurting from 26 rds. of .380 acp outta the LCP last friday!
I shoot independent range in my .45acp 1911 and it works great.
You can shoot anything thru your Glock and it will be fine,. (EXCEPT RELOADS)...
Compact, I'm not an LCP owner but my shooting buddy is. He has experienced a number of failure to eject and failure to feed problems. After a little experimentation and practice, he found that he was accidentally pressing the magazine release when the gun recoiled. Apparently, the mag would come out of its locked position but because of the size and placement of his hands, it would not fall enough to be noticed. The release of pressure on the bottom of the soon-to-be ejected case caused a stovepipe jam. On the other hand, it could have been a bad case in a dry gun. Unless your problem repeats itself, it's hard to tell. :)

A coroner investigating the holdall death mystery of MI6 spy Gareth Williams has ruled out an unlawful killing verdict.
Dr Fiona Wilcox will deliver a narrative conclusion at lunchtime after reflecting on seven days of inquest evidence.
Relatives' barrister Anthony O'Toole said: "We would invite you to say that, on the balance of probability, there was an unlawful killing in this case."
Hearing legal submissions, Dr Wilcox said open and narrative verdicts were the only options available to her. But she added: "An open verdict would not do justice to the positive findings I can make."
Members of the high-flying codebreaker's family are expected to arrive at Westminster Coroner's Court before Dr Wilcox delivers her decision.
A 21-month inquiry to find out how Mr Williams ended up locked inside a bag in his bathroom has so far drawn a blank.
Dr Wilcox angrily attacked police and MI6 on Tuesday for evidence disclosure failures surrounding belongings left at Mr Williams's desk. Nine computer memory sticks and a black bag were overlooked in the inquiry until the lead detective, Jackie Sebire, was made aware this week.
Ms Sebire said Scotland Yard will review lines of inquiry in its investigation in the wake of the inquest.
Mr Williams, a 31-year-old fitness enthusiast originally from Anglesey, North Wales, was found naked, curled up in a padlocked holdall in the bath of his flat in Pimlico, central London, on August 23 2010.
Pathologists said he would have suffocated within three minutes if he was alive when he got inside the 32in (81cm) by 19in (48cm) red North Face bag. Poisoning and asphyxiation are the "foremost contenders" in solving the death riddle, they said.

I had been looking for a brown soft shell jacket for quite a while and they were all running $100-$150..I gave this a try and was more than surprised when it arrived... AWESOME jacket!!!
|by Lori D Flaherty
|Date Added: Saturday 14 December, 2013
I have been looking for a while to get a soft shell jacket I could afford. Why this jacket?: great color, detachable hood, Dickie brand and right price. It is a great weight for layering or in the fall/spring times. Very happy with the product would order more items from this sight.
|by Stacey Chope
|Date Added: Wednesday 27 November, 2013
Have not had a chance to wear much, however when I tried it on it was as expected. I really like this soft shell better that Carhartt as theirs seems to be a little stiff.
|by Felicia Judge "Felicia"
|Date Added: Tuesday 26 November, 2013
I have bought Dickies stuff before and love the quality and price. I got a XXL as I am busty and like to wear layers and it fits wonderfully. My one and only issue is, I wish they had put a zipper on the hood pocket so I could zip up the pocket and keep the hood out. Other than that, this is a great jacket.

Change state in response to user interaction
When you create your own user control, you can add states and state groups to change the appearance of your user control depending on which state it is in. To change these states in response to user interaction (such as a mouse click), you add event handler methods to call the GoToState method.
When you modify the template of a system control, such as a button, default states are already defined, in addition to the response of the control to user interaction. You cannot add or remove the default states. However, you can change the appearance of the control in those different states, and you can use the following procedure to change states.
If you have not already created state groups and states, you can Define different visual states and transition times for a user control. For example, the following image shows a user control that represents a card in a card game. The SideDisplayed state group includes a state that displays the card face up (FaceUp), and a state that displays the card face down (FaceDown).
Under States, select Base to turn off state recording.
Under Objects and Timeline, select the [UserControl] object to hook up an event that will respond to action over the surface area of the whole user control.
In the Properties panel, click the Events button to switch from the properties view to the events view.
To switch the Properties panel back to the properties view, click the Properties button.
Next to the MouseLeftButtonDown event, enter a name for the event handler method, such as "goClick."
Alternatively, you can simply double-click in the event text box to generate a default name for the event handler method.
After you press ENTER, Microsoft Expression Blend opens your project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 if you have it installed. If you do not have a code editor installed, Expression Blend copies the code for the event handler method to the Clipboard so that you can open the code-behind file for the user control in a text editor and paste in the code from the Clipboard.
Private Sub goClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs) End Sub
For more information about Visual Studio 2008 interoperability with Expression Blend, see Edit a code-behind file.
To make your user control change state, call the GoToState method with the name of the state. For example, paste the following boldfaced code into your code-behind file:
private bool isFaceUp = false; private void goClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) { if (isFaceUp) { VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "FaceDown", true); } else { VisualStateManager.GoToState(this, "FaceUp", true); } isFaceUp = !isFaceUp; }
Private isFaceUp As Boolean = False Private Sub goClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs) If isFaceUp Then VisualStateManager.GoToState(Me, "FaceDown", True) Else VisualStateManager.GoToState(Me, "FaceUp", True) End If isFaceUp = Not (isFaceUp) End Sub
Build your project (CTRL+SHIFT+B).
Test your project (F5), and then click your user control to see it change states.
If you get the error "Cannot change the code-behind file. The following class was not found" when you type a name into the Events panel in Expression Blend, you may have to switch to your external code editor (typically Microsoft Visual Studio) to reload the solution. Reloading will include the new files that define the missing class. If you get the error "Cannot load the solution" in Visual Studio 2008, you might not have the Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 installed. Install the tools and then try to type a name into the Events panel in Expression Blend.
If you do not see your user control when you test your project (F5), and the browser window does not indicate an error, you might not have drawn an instance of your user control in the startup document. The startup document is the first document that appears when you run your application. If you created a user control in a separate document, you have to build your project (CTRL+SHIFT+B), open your startup document (typically Page.xaml) open the Asset Library , select your user control from the Custom Controls tab, and then draw the user control on the artboard.
If you have trouble building your application, you might not have the correct version of Microsoft Silverlight installed. For more information, see Install the Silverlight 2 tools and runtime.
Next steps
You can add animation, such as making the button spin around when the mouse pointer moves over it. For more information, see Add animation that will play after a change in state.
You can see real-life scenarios that use states and state groups in the "How Do I?" video tutorials at the Expression community website.

Citation: Ferguson, L., Poss, J.A., Grattan, S.R., Grieve, C.M., Wang, D., Wilson, C., Donovan, T.J., Chao, T. 2002. Pistachio rootstocks influence scion growth and ion relations under salinity and boron stress. Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science. 127(2):194-199. Interpretive Summary: Pistachio trees are better adapted to salinity than most other perennial tree crops. The ability to tolerate adverse water quality creates a niche for pistachio in areas where soils are saline or where a saline water supplies may be utilized for supplemental irrigation. Saline-sodic drainage waters in California's San Joaquin Valley often contain considerable concentrations of boron (B) in addition to increased salts yet little information exists on the interaction of these two stresses in pistachio. Currently, of the three major rootstocks of the California pistachio industry, Pistachia integerrima was significantly less tolerant than the other two rootstocks. Information on differences in the growth of commercial pistachio grafted on rootstock cultivars when exposed to high salt and boron stress will be of increasing importance if these tree species continue to be developed commercially and sustained in areas of marginal soil and water quality.
Technical Abstract: The salt tolerance of pistachio trees (Pistachia vera) on 3 rootstocks of pistachio ( Pistacia integerrima, P. atlantica, and a P. atlantica x P. integerrima hybrid ,UCB-1) were evaluated with 2-year-old trees grown in 1.4 m-cubed sand-tank lysimeters under salinity stress for 6 months. Irrigation with 4 salinity treatments ( 3.5, 8.7, 12, and 16 dS/m) each containing 10 mg/L B resulted in the same salt tolerance ranking (P. atlantica = UCB-1 > P. integerrima) regardless of the growth parameter used for analysis. For a 6-month period of spring and summer growth, the measured salinity resulting in a 50% reduction in trunk diameter increase (TDI) relative to the control TDI was 15.2 dS/m in soil water for P. atlantica. Total tree biomass and leaf area trends were similar to those for diameter. For P. atlantica, the salinity where a 50% reduction in biomass occurred (15.4 dS/m) was not significantly different from the salinity where a 50% reduction in biomass for the UCB-1 hybrid was observed (15.4 dS/m). P. integerrima was significantly less tolerant than the other 2 rootstocks and the 50% reduction in TDI, relative to the control, occurred at 12.9 dS/m. Transpiration and stomatal conductance, determined by steady-state porometry, were reduced to a greater degree by salinity in the P. vera x P. integerrima combination than P. vera on the other 2 rootstocks. Chlorophyll contents estimated with a SPAD meter indicated lower concentrations of chlorophyll for leaves of P. vera on P. integerrima that is associated with a greater degree of foliar injury compared to P. vera on the other 2 rootstocks.

Lance Armstrong: Tour Titles Stripped, Banned for Life
He's been having a rough month, and earlier today (October 22) Lance Armstrong learned that he would be stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned from cycling for life by the UCI, cycling's governing body.
Pat McQuaid, UCI President confirmed that the US Anti-Doping Agency report was accepted and that Armstrong's records from 1999 through 2005 would be effectively erased.
The report indicated that Lance participated in "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen," given that he was able to escape detection of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his career.
Over the years Armstrong used a variety of drugs including steroids, EPO (a blood booster), and blood transfusions, according to many of his teammates.
Meanwhile last week, Lance stepped down as the chairman of his Livestrong Foundation and was fired by Nike and several other endorsement deals.
Last Friday (October 19) Armstrong shared, "It's been an interesting couple of weeks. It's been a difficult couple of weeks for me and my family, my friends and this foundation. I say, 'I've been better, but I've also been worse.'"

Thou Shalt Not Judge or Should You?
Thou shalt not judge is a commonly espoused holy edict.

Out, Out: Arlo Quint's Death to Explosions
We don't usually book-announce, but this is one to know: The gorgeous UK-based Skysill Press has just announced the long-awaited first full-length from New York poet Arlo Quint, whose poems, as John Ashbery blurbs here, "have the remote, enraptured quality of the lines that Orpheus copies down from his car radio in the Cocteau film, Orphée." And that cover by painter Jonathan Allen is blurb enough, so mesmerizing. Order Death to Explosions here. Other forthcoming titles from Skysill include works by Christopher Rizzo, Aaron Tieger, Theodore Enslin, and others.
Another great read from Quint is this collaborative chapbook from Well Greased Press, Check Out My Lifestyle, written with artist and writer Charles Wolski. Dan Magers wrote of Quint's Photogenic Memory (Lame House Press 2007) for Sink Review. And Ron Silliman linked to Quint's 2010 reading in Cincinnati here.

Sun, moon, stars. The Issey Miyake brand has a knack for using technology to mimic the beauty of nature, whether it's the magic of a bird in flight or the colourscape of a mountain range. Spring / summer 2014 brought the silvery light of the moon and stars to the runway through techniques like steam stretching and grid knitting; techniques that – to the mere mortal – sound as if they might only be accomplished by an ancient and mysterious order of textile-working monks. And yet the results were simple to behold, though none the less impressive: making something highly complex look beautifully simple is a specialty of the brand, after all.
Metallic textiles and hole punched leather imagined themselves as showers of shooting stars. Pieces of pure white glistened as the moonlight. And the sunlight component of the show brought with it washes of colour like sunsets melting into gradients of sky.
The Issey Miyake spring collection sought a way to wear the light. Its unusual soundtrack – performed live by El Wada as the Braun Tube Jazz Band – was percussed from rays of light on television sets, manipulated to create sound. Who'd have thought there could be a way to both hear the light and wear it? On this Paris fashion week runway, seems anything was possible.
You can see all of the Issey Miyake spring / summer 2014 runway collection by clicking on a thumbnail on the left. From there you can browse through each of the pictures from the fashion show.

The whiplash-inducing, drive-by order-taking and serving style here can be off-putting. But the low prices and decent pastas make this trattoria an acceptable stop if you're an NYU student looking for a meal on a low budget. Walnut-and-ricotta-filled pansotti, nestled in a creamy pesto sauce, is a reliable main course, but the real attractions are the desserts from Nasto's bakery in Newark. The ricotta cheesecake has lovely lemony undertones, and the spumoni—a triple threat of vanilla, pistachio and chocolate ice creams—is a creamy finish.

Omorovicza has just released a new moisturizer, the Omorovicza Intensive Hydra Lifting Cream ($225/1.7 oz.). This is a very rich, luxurious formula in a heavy, frosted beautiful glass container. This is the perfect time for this review, as we are in the February doldrums–with cold, dry air stressing out my skin I wanted an excellent quality moisturizer to get my skin ready for the Spring.
I first tried this on a day where my skin was irritated, red, peeling and very unhappy. My instinct is to stay away from new products on such days, lest I risk more problems. As I'm becoming more accustomed with Omorovicza's products, I proceeded nonetheless. In my experience, this line is extremely healing. Based on my past use of their products, I'm really gaining confidence that this line delivers. If my skin was going to recover, it was going to be with Omorovicza's Intensive Hydra-Lifting Cream.
As I was getting my errands and blogging done around the house that morning, I checked my skin every hour so. Gradually, over the course of a few hours, my skin started to lift, glow, and the dry patches were actually starting to heal. Although I had planned to wear a heavier foundation stick that day, I instead went with a light powder. That's just priceless to me–visible results that shave off skin problems simply does not happen with every beauty product.
With those results, I started to wear Omorovicza Intensive Hydra Lifting Cream day and night. This morning, after applying my concealer, I went to answer some email. When I was done and went back to my makeup area, it took me a minute to figure out whether or not I had already applied my foundation. My skin simply didn't need much correction after a few days of wear. I applied a light layer of Omorovicza BB Perfecting Cream, some bronzer, and I was done.
I'd have to say that I concur with the company's description:
A rich, yet easily absorbed, anti-aging moisturiser formulated for every day use, this Intensive Hydra-Lifting Cream delivers instant lifting, visible plumping and prolonged, sustained firming.
- Hyaluronic acid, encapsulated and micro-injected, plumps and resurfaces lines and wrinkles; it also provides long-lasting hydration
- Wheat polysaccharide tightens the skin's surface to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles
- Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, an amino-acid, remodels the surface of the skin
- Arabian Myrrh plumps and redensifies the skin
- Bifida ferment strengthens the skin's immune system
- Vitamin C provides anti-oxidant defense against free radicals and brightens tone
Ingredient list:
Bottom line, I think Omorovicza is persuading that their products are exceeding the performance of my other high end moisturizers, some of which cost more. This is a good time to look at the Omorovicza line, because there is currently an offer for a Omorovicza Spring Beauty Kit $107 value free on orders over $175. The company sent me one of the gifts, the bag is a soft patent large enough for a month in Paris, or where ever your travels take you. The sample sizes are quite large and usable so that you can really test them out:
The kit contains the following:
· Queen of Hungary Mist (30 ml)
· Copper Peel (2 tubes)
· Instant Plumping Cream (5 ml)
· Deep Cleansing Mask (15 ml)
I haven't tried these sample sized products out yet, but you can bet that these will keep me busy for a spa day at home very soon.
Bottom line: Omorovicza's Intensive Hydra-Lifting Cream is an intensive moisture experience, for serious hydration, repair and noticeable results.
Omorovicza sent these products to Cafe Makeup without charge for consideration for review. This post contains affiliate links (for more information, see About Cafe Makeup)

A calendar that turns time into a colour wheel.
New Delhi: It has been a year to remember for commodity exchanges in the country, with their cumulative turnover set to cross the Rs100 trillion-mark in 2010 and the government also introducing a Bill in the Lok Sabha that aims to expand the futures market, reports PTI.
The cumulative turnover of the commodity market-trading, which was re-introduced in April 2003 by the government, is expected to register a 50% jump to a record Rs105,00,000 crore by the end of this year from Rs70,00,000 crore last year.
"I expect the overall turnover of commodity futures market would be Rs105,00,000 crore by 2010-end," commodity markets regulator Forward Markets Commission (FMC) chairman BC Khatua told PTI.
He attributed the rise in turnover of the 23 commodity exchanges in the country-including five national bourses-to growing demand after the recovery of the global economy from a low in 2008 and 2009, besides high volatility in bullion and metals trade.
That apart, Mr Khatua said the entry of two new national commodity bourses-ICEX and ACE Commodity and Derivatives-helped the futures market achieve robust growth.
Regional bourse ACE upgraded itself to a national exchange in October this year, while the Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX) became operational toward the end of 2009.
The year began on a positive note, with the turnover in the commodity futures market rising every month due to volatility in gold prices, which rose from Rs17,000 per 10 grams to over Rs20,000 per 10 grams during the course of 2010.
Till November, the combined turnover of the five national and 18 regional commodity exchanges stood at over Rs94,94,721 crore (Rs94.94 trillion).
The country's largest commodity bourse, MCX, saw its turnover grow by 48% to Rs78,95,921 crore, while that of leading agri-commodity bourse NCDEX improved by 39% to Rs9,73,206 crore during January-November 2010.
New entrant Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX) clocked business of Rs3,78,006 crore (Rs3,780 billion), which was higher than the turnover of the oldest national bourse, NMCE.
NMCE's turnover rose by just 6% to Rs1,80,727 crore from Rs1,70,419 crore in the review period.
In addition to the record turnover, the year will also be remembered for the introduction of the much-delayed Forward Contract (Regulation) Amendment bill in the Lok Sabha and a slew of measures taken by the FMC for boosting investors' confidence in the nascent market.
The FMC said it had nursed hopes the FCRA Bill would be ratified during this year's Winter Session of Parliament, as it would have given more powers to the regulator and opened up doors for the launch of new products like options.
The year was also significant from the perspective of investors in the commodity market, with the regulator getting tough on exchanges and brokers to ensure transparency and better governance.
Not only did the FMC disband the sub-broker system this year, it also amended the shareholding norms for commodity exchanges, making it mandatory for bourses to incorporate government firms on their respective boards with a stake of up to 10%.
It had also made it mandatory for the original promoters to cap their stake in the bourses at a maximum of 26%, as against 40% earlier, while also regulating cross-holding in commodity and stock exchanges.
Although the year saw the lapse of the ban on trading in sugar futures, which was valid till September, the regulator did not permit the re-launch of new sugar contracts, despite expectations of surplus production this year.
Nevertheless, sugar futures trading is expected to kick off after the New Year, which will leave only three commodities-rice, tur and urad-in the banned category.
The commodity market has witnessed decent growth for the past few years, but it is hoped the pace will accelerate with the passage of the new FCRA Amendment Bill in 2011, which would pave the way for the launch of trading in a new product-'options'.
Furthermore, the entry of newer players that are waiting in the wings to enter the lucrative segment, would not only expand the market, but make it more competitive.
New Delhi: Corporate lobbyist Niira Radia was today questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) here in connection with the second generation (2G) spectrum scam, reports PTI.
Official sources said a team of CBI reached Ms Radia's farm house at Chhattarpur area at about 10 am to question her on several issues including her alleged involvement in the spectrum allocation.
The CBI sleuths had earlier carried out searches at Ms Radia's residence and the premises of her firm, Vaishnavi Communications, here.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also grilled her on allegations of money laundering.
Ms Radia hit the spotlight after her taped telephonic conversations with various influential people including industrialists, politicians and journalists became public.
The Supreme Court is closely monitoring the multi agency probe in the allocation of 2G spectrum to certain telecom firms.
The apex court has asked CBI and ED to submit status reports on their probe to it by 10th February, when the 2G spectrum case will come up for hearing.
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) in its report to the Parliament had said that the allocation of 2G spectrum at under-valued prices had resulted in the loss of Rs1.76 lakh crore to the exchequer.

Work towards creating the listening and reading space at Rachel Keeling has been under way. As usual, I've been getting lots done, but forgetting to document it here. Hello Cleo? That's what blogs are for! I am still struggling with the 'of the moment' nature of blogging.
So far I've spent three sessions in the nursery creating the printed fabric that will be the canopy over the listening and reading area. I have cut the plain fabric canvas into approximately 1 meter lengths to make it more workable with. I did try to cleverly fold it so I could avoid having to stitch it back together, but that was not to be.
For each child to print, I masked out an approximately 100mm high width of the fabric on either side of the table. allowing two children to print at the same time. I have collected a selection of objects from around the nursery that I predicted would make interesting prints and would also cover the fabric quickly, with as much impact as possible. I did supply some smaller items to begin with, but this took the children a long time to work with and the marks got lost in the big white space of the fabric.
About 28 children have printed so far, each of them creating their own unique strip. This has been achieved with amazing support from the nursery staff at Rachel Keeling, especially Rohima Begum, one of the school's teaching assistants. Rohima has worked along side me for the majority of the sessions to help each child understand how to roll out the inks and then coat the ink on to the objects, how to make choices about where they would like to place their prints, and how to apply pressure to get the best print possible. We have practiced numeracy, considered and estimated space with the children and we have experimented with shape and repeating pattern. There is probably a whole load of other great learning stuff in there too.
Looking forward to the final construction of the project, I'm contemplating 'patchworking' these fabrics with others in the final canopy. The prints look amazing and I think that co-ordinating them with other prints will bring out the best in them and create a strong final look that will work for the nursery for a long time.

My Boyfriend Says He Has to Work on Valentine's Day – Daily Dilemma [AUDIO]
Here is the daily dilemma for Monday, February 13th, 2012:
"My boyfriend and I had a casual relationship for a few months, but we recently decided to make it exclusive. When we were casual, we were both allowed to date other people, and I absolutely hated it. So this is the first Valentine's Day we'll be spending as a real couple. But he told me he has to work late, so we can't go out to dinner. I'm scared that he has a date with someone else, and he's fooling around behind my back. Would it look crazy if I offered to bring a Valentine's dinner to his office? Should I just show up and surprise him to see if he's telling the truth?"
We'd love to know what you think , just leave your comments at the bottom of this page.
Here's what the callers had to say about this one.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) � North Carolina found a way to avoid the poor performances that plagued the rest of the Atlantic Coast Conference during Week 2: The Tar Heels didn't play.
While its league rivals were losing to Middle Tennessee State or struggling with championship-subdivision teams, North Carolina was back on the practice field taking care of its own pesky opening-week struggles while preparing for this week's visit to Rutgers.
"We've got a chance to make corrections from the mistakes in the (first) game as opposed to those errors � you can fix some of them, but you've got to move on to the next opponent" during a normal week, safety Trumaine Goddard said Monday. "You had time to make those adjustments and make sure everybody's on the right page."
There were plenty of necessary corrections to be made after a tougher-than-expected opening win against McNeese State two weeks ago, when the step-slow Tar Heels needed a third-quarter rally to take the lead for good against the Championship Subdivision Cowboys.
While the rest of the ACC was back in action last weekend, coach Butch Davis had some extra time to point out the mistakes made by a roster full of young players who perhaps were burdened by the heightened expectations to contend in the up-for-grabs Coastal Division.
As a result, just a couple of weeks after the end of preseason camp, the Tar Heels (1-0) once again found themselves going back to basics.
"If you've got an experienced, veteran football team, if you've got a lot of guys, returning starters that have been in your program two or three years and there's not a lot of fundamental things that you need to fix, it's probably to your advantage to get off to a fast start and play two, three, four weeks and then maybe get an open date," Davis said.
"For a young team like us, I think it was somewhat fortunate that we did have an open date for a multitude of reasons."
Among the points of emphasis were making sure the defensive backs understood their coverages and "the small things," such as the concepts of route-running, Goddard said. North Carolina allowed McNeese State to amass 391 total yards and hold the ball for more than 35 minutes.
"We were trying to be as prudent as possible in how we utilized this extra time, and a certain element of it was fixing the mistakes of the first ball game," he said. "Things the kids were confused on, things they didn't understand. ... The next part of it is working on your own football team, just trying to get better now that they played a game. They understand game speed, they understand some of the schemes of how (opponents) try to attack you."
Ultimately, the nine freshmen and sophomores listed as starters on North Carolina's depth chart gained an appreciation for how fast the game is played and the other things that can't be replicated on the practice field. Now, Davis hopes that performance becomes one of the building blocks for the foundation of a program he is, in his second season, reviving.
"The McNeese game is one of those layers of building your program," Davis said. "There's so much that can be derived for a football team from good experiences as well as bad experiences ... and everybody that's still here can remember it, relate to those types of things, whether it was a fast start or a slow start, whether it was sideline adjustments or whether it's the plays that turn games around on special teams, offense, defense.
"Until you go through some of those scenarios, you can talk about it until you're blue in the face," he added. "You can show all the video you want to, but it doesn't really mean something until the guys are actually involved in those scenarios."

The first was made up entirely of little 1" HSTs. (Isn't that yellow bird mug adorable?) I used value to create an overall radiating diamond shape from the mix of patterns.
The second one is simpler with lots of negative space and wavy line quilting. I think it's kind of Japanese looking.
Then, because my parents were visiting (boo, they're gone now), there were lots of yummy props for my photos. So here are some more photos with some of the goodies they made. My dad baked this red velvet cupcake and my mom iced it with homemade cream cheese frosting.
And one of my favorite cookies that my dad makes, Laura Bush's Cowboy Cookies. He found the recipe in the Washington Post newspaper back in Maryland, but couldn't resist trying them since I'm down here in Texas. They turned out really, really good, so good in fact that I asked him to make them as favors for my rehearsal dinner when I got married almost 5 years ago. They've become a tradition ever since! The one below is actually a miniature version, the real thing is Texas-sized. Here's the recipe if you'd like to try making them yourself. (The only change he made was omitting the cinnamon.)
Between my local Quilt Guild and online Flickr groups, I'm really enjoying these swaps. There are so many fabulous ones out there that I'd love to join, but I have to pace myself! What kind of swaps do you like to participate in?

my hair looks freaking AMAZING !!!
okay, i just thought i should hop online and share the great feedback . . . i started out with nexxus conditioner, some on the board suggested it was heavy with oils, so i went out and bought the nature's gate aloe conditioner, which i saw recommended on the boards . . . .
i have to admit, i was skeptical about the whole idea of no shampoo, the whole cg book thing, but my hair looks SO amazing today, so curly, no friss, the best it's looked in years!!!!! (it's my second day, by the way)
thought i'd share the love:
my hair is botticelli, probably considered 3a on this chat group.
here's what's working great for me:
nature's gate aloe conditioner
goldwell flexi-whip mousse
dry with diffuser for volume
Glad to hear it!
I have a sample of the goldwell mousse but havent used it ...is it CG??
i'm not sure
i'm not sure if it's curlygirl approved or not, the mousse . . . the book doesn't say anything about mousse . . . i prefer it for volume . . . and it doesn't seem to have silicone in it . . .

I just got my Christmas present to myself, a Taurus 415 .41 mag snubby. Great gun.
Problem is, I'm having difficulty finding a good holster for it. I have a bunch of Milt Sparks holsters, and they are first-freakin' rate pieces of gunleather.
So I called them today to order PMK, and they told me that they don't have a mold for a 415. The closest thing they've got it for the Taurus 450.
I did some looking and discovered that the 450 is 1/2 of one inch shorter than my 451, but other than that, it is pretty much the same gun.
Since Sparks is closed at this hour, I didn't call them back, but I will in the morning to see if they are willing to try to figure out how to deal with that extra half inch. They may not be, and if not, I am good with that. They didn't get the reputation they enjoy by jerry-rigging holsters.
Other holsters that would then come into consideration are the "No Bull Scabbard" by Wild Bill's and the Del Fatti SSR and Del Fatti LP-QS.
Anyone have any suggestions or comments regarding either their experiences with ANY of these four holsters, or Sparks's willingness to diddle a little bit when making a holster?
Holster makers (and I know there are a LOT you who visit this board), please chime in as to any of your products that might also fit the bill (pancake-[I]ish] strong side revolver holsters).
A little cant is probably a good idea and horsehide would be great. I don't know that I prefer high or low ride, as I just don't know that much about the revolver holster game.
Talk to me, oh wiser ones!

How to calibrate my ph meter?
I just bought a digital ph meter. It came with
6.86 powder and
4.00 powder
I mixed two solutions. One with 1/4 cup of tap water and 6.86 solution and one with 1/4 cup 4.00 solution.
When I place my meter in the 6.86 ph water, I calibrated it so it's around 6.85
But when I place it into the 4.00 ph solution, it reads 4.3. I'm stuck on how to calibrate it.
I tested it In my fish tank with 7 ph tap water buffered by Amazonia new and it reads less than 6 ph. Something's wrong. I know the ph should be around 6.5 that's what my liquid ph tester reads. So the meter is calibrated low. But eve if I crank it up, the 4.0 solution and 6.86 will be too high. What do I do?
There should be two places to adjust the high and and low end separately. What type of pH meter is it?
What pH probe do you have? Is it a one point or two point calibration probe?
It's the one probe in the back. It's a yellow one I got off eBay
idealy you should use DI water to mix the solution, which has most chemicals removed and is usually 7.0 pH (neutral) because you are using tap water it is changing the value of the pH solution. you could use a pH buffer to help with using tap water
at work I have a Hach pH meter and do a 3 point pH calibration using pH standard solution of 7, 4 and 10.
I suppose if it was a cheap pH probe, it'd only be a one point calibration :confused:
So should I use distilled water the one I buy in jugs at stores and just use that as a 7ph calibration?
Well if it is the same cheap one I got from Ebay then you need to buy a different brand of calibration fluid/powder. The one i received where PH 7.01 (was actually 7.72 with RO water). And yes it is single point calibration.
Can someone link me to the powder I need to get
Using the powder it came with, did you mix these powders with RO or distilled water?
You ought to be able to use RO or distilled as a 3rd reference, but if either of these are exposed to the air they can pick up CO2 and the pH of this will be lower. No way of telling.
for work we use hach.com, you can call them and talk to the techs, tell them what you have and need for, they can direct you to what you need.

Phase Portraits
Dear MathGroup Experts,
Is there a slick way to use Mathematica to plot the phase portrait of
a pair of (straightforward) differential equations? I'd also like to
see a plot of the associated vector/direction field. I found a good
package called DynPac, but it's very cumbersome to use, and I was
hoping there's another tool out there that my students would feel
more comfortable using.
Thanks for whatever information you can share.

It's official. An exhibition of new work will open with brunch at FOLEY on Sunday September 9, 2012 from 12PM-2PM. Most of my summer was devoted to paging through (and tearing pages from) the old science books, encyclopedias and primary readers that I've been collecting/hoarding since graduate school (1993-1996)–turning my tidy workspace into a total disaster! After a solid week of making cutouts, I spent another four arranging (pinning/gluing/taping), photographing, stitching-together and color–correcting the overlapping exposures of 32 new images (for an explanation of the process, scroll down to the middle OFFICIAL). Twelve of these will adorn the walls and mark the opening of FOLEY's new location at 97 Allen Street, New York, NY 10002.
If you plan on attending the opening and would prefer not to see the images beforehand (printed 12″ x 15″ – nearly half the size of my previous work), then I suggest that you stop here. For everyone else, I am pleased to present, BEAUTIFUL EVIDENCE:
A comment from artworksb146 reminded me that I failed to mention something – the edition size for each print is 10. All are borderless and mounted on black Sintra (3mm). The gallery handles all price inquiries. –Tom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:CONTACT: Charles Schuler
Associate Deputy Airport Director

Virgin America Wins Traffic Rights from SFO to Washington's Reagan National (DCA)
San Francisco – Virgin America has been awarded the right to operate between San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Washington's Reagan National Airport (DCA), receiving one of the four new coveted slots between the two airports.
San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee offered his congratulations to the Bay Area-based airline, saying: "As Virgin America continues to grow, more local jobs are created, and Bay Area passengers have more choices. This direct link between Washington, DC and San Francisco finally links the nation's capital with America's innovation capital, and will foster new links between federal policymakers and the creative energy that exists out here in the Bay Area."
SFO Director John L. Martin said: "We are extremely pleased that Virgin America has won the right to operate from SFO to DCA. We've gone from zero flights to two flights almost overnight, and competition breeds better fares and more choices for our passengers."
Joe D'Alessandro, the President and CEO of the 1,500-plus member San Francisco Travel Association, commented: "This is a great win for San Francisco and Washington DC-based travelers and the entire bay region. The additional service will have significant economic benefit, encouraging more travel between Washington and San Francisco resulting in more tourism spending and local job growth."
As part of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, the Department of Transportation (DOT) on Monday awarded four new flights beyond DCA's 1,250 mile perimeter rule.
With the addition of Virgin America to the marketplace, the total number of seats from SFO to the Greater Washington Metro Area, including DCA, Dulles International Airport (IAD), and Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) is just under 20,000 seats per week; making the DC metro market the fourth largest air service market for SFO behind Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. United Airlines began service to DCA from SFO on Monday.
Virgin America plans to initiate the new service later this summer, subject to finalizing flight schedule times with DOT.
About San Francisco International Airport
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) offers non-stop links with more than 31 international points on 28 international carriers. The Bay Area's largest airport connects non-stop with 74 cities in the U.S. on 17 domestic airlines.

Thyroid cysts are common lesions that most often result from cystic degeneration in an adenomatous nodule. However, any type of thyroid nodule can undergo cystic degeneration, including follicular adenomas, follicular carcinomas, Hurthle cell neoplasms, and papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). In some studies, as many as 15–25% of solitary thyroid nodules and up to 37% of all thyroid nodules are at least partially cystic. Often the cysts evolve secondary to hemorrhagic degeneration within the nodule. In addition to cystic degeneration of follicular-derived lesions, other nonfollicular cysts including thyroglossal duct cysts, branchial cleft-like cysts, and parathyroid cysts can also occur in or near the thyroid gland and are amenable to fine needle aspiration (FNA).

Cuisine: Burger
Location: Mt Lawley, Beaufort Street
Note: This restaurant is now closed
Without design I've been trying several gourmet burger joints and I keep discovering more. Today, a short bus trip from the Perth CBD took me to The Angry Moose in Mt Lawley. It's very convenient as the bus stop happens to be just across the road from Perth's latest addition to a growing list of gourmet burger bars. The Angry Moose has been open for around 6 weeks and has BYO as well as free wi-fi and also hosts kids parties. The place tries to have a bit of a family vibe with colouring books and a few LCD TV's with kids shows on while the adult music plays in the background.
I had knocked off early as it was an early start to the day which allowed me to get there in the late afternoon on a pretty hot summer's day. Walking in, the place is very vibrant with the right hand side of the store front having doors that open completely (see middle pic) so the venue appears more inviting and spacious. The comfy couches create an intimate area amongst friends while the rest of the venue is dotted with tables and chairs. There is also a bar in the center so you can pull up a bar stool and munch away at your meal.
The menu is quite expansive offering beef, chicken, lamb, salmon, pork and vegetarian options. Aside from burgers, The Angry Moose also serves nachos, calamari, share plates, mini meals and salads. They are also open for breakfast with their own breakfast menu. When you get to the counter, you will also notice various flavours of gelato to the left and in the display cabinet to the right, other treats. There's also various beverages available for young and old.
Well I'm here for the burgers so I went with a pretty standard variety "The Angry Moose" which contained a beef pattie, green tomato chutney and Emmental cheese and all burgers come standard with rocket leaves, tomato and garlic mayo. I was also keen to try the sweet potato chips (they have regular chips too) but obviously they misheard and gave me regular chips instead. The protocol is place your order at the counter, pay, grab a buzzer, go to your table and when it buzzes, collect your meal. While I was biding my time I thought my mobile buzzed but didn't realise it was the buzzer. I guess as it was quiet, the waitstaff brought my meal to my table anyway.
The burger and chips were presented upon a light wooden board (may have been bamboo) and the chips were served in a mini-deep fryer basket, much like The Merrywell did. It's a nice touch but I wonder if it's going to catch on in every place that serves chips which is common in just about every restaurant. Cutlery is also provided with a serviette (for later) but I prefer the hands on approach. The buns are supplied from the local bakery Lawley's, while the Mogumber Beef from the Avon Valley is supplied by the local butcher, Mondo Butchers.
Biting in the burger comfortably fits in your mouth and the ciabatta roll encasing the contents is delicious. The beef patty has great flavour, however, could have done with a little more seasoning. The major drawback for me was the beef patty was far too pink on the inside. I think certain bites felt like I was eating raw meat. It was a real shame as the burger was quite tasty and that extra amount of cooking would have ensured far greater taste. The chutney seemed like it was store bought, out of a bottle, but had a certain sweetness which was nice. The Emmental cheese didn't carry much flavour or gooeyness as that of The Burger Bistro's Beef Big Smoke. The burger was dripping with some meat juices which were fine but it wasn't overly messy which is a good thing. An enjoyable burger that went down comfortably and didn't leave you feeling stuffed. The chips were a lovely golden colour and well cooked, crispy, with nice flavour. They were quite tasty but needed a little more salt, which I noticed sitting on the table at the end of the meal. I enjoyed the burger and chips and cleaned my hands with the serviette before bidding farewell. Another burger bar conquered.
The Angry Moose Food Review Summary
Verdict: I enjoyed The Angry Moose Burger in it's entirety but felt let down by what could have been. If they had only cooked the beef patty longer instead of the very pink inside patty, it would have carried so much more flavour along with a little more seasoning. The beef from the local butcher is tasty and so too the local bakery's ciabatta rolls. Good chips and all at quite a reasonable price. A solid offering but a not in the league of V Burger Bar, Jus Burgers, The Burger Bistro, or Flipside Burger Bar.
Price: Reasonable
Taste: Great
Value: Reasonable
Recommendation: Recommend
