The For Trade Thread
We've got a couple of trade threads going successfully around the forums, so I'm starting one here too. This is the thread where you can offer up things for trade. You've got an item you don't need and you need something else? Trade it here. You need something and someone else has it? Trade it for something you've got here.
A few rules-
NO mention of money. This is a TRADE thread only. Any mention of money will get deleted.
NO advertising. This is not for store owners or people who own some type of store and want to get their stuff out there. Any advertising will be deleted.
ALL trades need to be done via PM. Any conflicts do not involve bikeforums or its agents. Trader beware!
ONLY bike related items are to be traded here. Anything else offered up for trade by either party will be deleted.
There will probably be other guidelines we'll add on. Check back with this first post for any updates. If we see repeated violations, we'll just close out the thread if it gets out of control.
Trade on!

Anybody want to trade a 2005 Colnago C50 HP 58 cm frame for a 56 cm frame?
I'll give you the frame, fork and headset.
Where do you get the cool pics?
Matt pro
For trade: located in Canada
42cm C-C FSA RD300 handlebars (ergo curve)
90mm Pazzaz 31.8mm stem +/- 6 degrees
2 x Elite Ciussi bottle cages (blue)
Sigma BC1600 computer with cadence kit
Looking for:
Stem mount or centre mount that goes in front of the bars for Cateye Astrale 8
Polar infrared interface (serial).
Ok, I guess I should be more clear.
Say you have something to trade. You would say:
I have a Cygolite 12W light with charger. I need a 700c knobby tire.
or, like another poster did. This is a good way of framing your trade:
This is the format that should be used. You're trading something because you need something. If you just list out everything you've got, how will people know what to trade that will interest you into giving up your goods?
Ok, that's the format. If you're unsure, PM me.
I'm the trade master...
Thanks Koffee.
I have two Matrix 32 spoke hole rims for tubular tires that are like new, they are dark gray -- I would like to trade for a Araya Aero One rim for tubular tire(32 spoke hole)dark gray.
EDIT: Everything's going on eBay.
DX... trade for what?
I have a hardly ridden woman's 18" 2004 Trek 6700 mountain bike that has sat in my garage for 14 months that I would trade for a man's mountain bike of similar quality.
For trade: Located in Canada
Eddy Merckx lugged steel frame and fork. 52 cm top tube ctc.1" threaded fork, with Eddy Merckx stamped into the fork crown. Has a nearly brand new Dura Ace headset, and a used but good condition 2003 D.A. crankset with D.A. B.B. Frame is kind of a candy apple metallic red with chrome fork. Stickers in good shape, some minor chips and wear marks. No rust or dents. Rides really nicely but is 2cm to small for me. Was going to sell on Ebay but will try here first. This frame has the original eddy mercks logo, that you rarely see anywhere.
I am looking to start to switch my current ride from D.A. 9sp to Record 10sp. So ideally I would like to trade for parts towards that end. But I might consider anything really. Please, I am not very computer literate and e mailing pics on this new computer is not easy for me, so request pics only if you are tres interested. thanks.
This is a cool thread; but, I am not so sure it will work for me. Here goes:
Last year, I bought a used 2001 Waterford 59cm. Love the ride; but, the frameset is simply too large for me. I later bought another Waterford 56cm frame and took the DA parts off my Cannondale. I recently won a Colnago on ebay. Having it repainted. I am like the previous poster, I have not quite figured out how to post pictures and yes, I do have a digital camera.
Anyway, the 59cm Waterford has a mix of DA and Ultegra, Velocity Spartacus wheelset, 9 speed cassette, and custom
Sella Italia SLK Gelflow saddle, used for 2 years for a Sella Max Flight Gelflow saddle.
I have brand new:
Truvativ Rouleur carbon triple in 175
Campy Centaur long-cage RD (silver)
Campy Centaur FD for a triple (silver)
I am looking for a nice carbon setback seatpost (27.2) and carbon handlebars. I will also consider a trade for a stem.
People, people, people....
Check the ss/fixie forum under the Anyone wanna trade___? They have a formula, and it works very well- put what you have, state what you would like to trade for, or what you're looking for, or what you want for what you've got. Otherwise, people may think that what you've got does not match what they have. You could miss out on a good trade.
Try it again... most of you guys have it right, but there are some people in here just listing what they have... I would have no idea what you're looking for, and I wouldn't know if what I have is sufficient for what you listed.
Good luck!
I have new Ultegra brake calipers and need a front derailleur with a 34.9 clamp for my cross bike. Preferably Shimano XTR or similar. PM me if interested.
I have a 05 Specialized S-WORKS CARBON ROAD STEM from my 56cm 05 Tarmac Pro, I believe it is 110mm (will verify that Monday).
I would like to trade it for the same stem in a 100mm size.
I have:
- Ultegra 175 triple crank, couple years old, splined. They've done around 6000 miles; about 2000 of those touring. Fairly scratched up but still have lots of life in 'em. The big ring is practically untouched, the middle has taken most of the miles commuting/touring, the small 30 tooth guy is in good condition (since I used a smaller 24 tooth one for the tour). I'd almost rather trade without the rings-- call me sentimental.
- Ultegra triple derailleur.
(Small ring is missing from pic owing to wrong BB size, hence the WTT...)
Looking for:
- Ultegra 165-167.5 double. Won't need the derailleur.
- Similar quality 165-167.5 double crank + BB. (The BB I have now is Dura-Ace, but again, for a double.)
I have: Nashbar knobby tires (2): 700cx32. One is brand new, and the other one was only used today.
I need: decent bike computer (wireless). Can be cheap, but I need mph, kph, time, trip distance, total distance, and cadence.
Have Bianchi Pista 05 track bike with Profile bullhorns and front brake - size 57cm
Want TT frame and fork Cannodale or Cervelo 56 cm.
Did I do that right Koffee?
have 1996 concondre (steel frame made by ciocc) racing road bike in 58cm. it has a mix of dura ace and ultrega. mavic open pro wheels. complete bike is good condition worth about $800 as is.
would trade for mtn bike, sized for a 5' 11" person at about the same value and condition.
I've got a like new pair of DTM R2 Cycling shoes size 43.5 (see link for pick) that I would like to trade (I will sweeten the pot to make up for the difference in value) for the one of the following items.
What I need:
Easton EC90 Zero seat post 27.2 or an USE Alien Seat Post 27.2
'04 or later Record front derailuer 32mm clamp on.
[[[Moderator edit- please... no mention of CASH. This is a trade ONLY thread. Thanks! K.B.]]]

Non-compliance with regulations requiring timely disclosure of corporate governance reports and Reconciliation of Shares Capital have also come to the fore in large numbers.
The capital markets regulator is likely to issue on Monday detailed guidelines on corporate disclosure requirements in a move to improve the quality of information that needs to be disclosed by the companies to shareholders.
The proposed action follows large-scale discrepancies found in the mandatory financial and other corporate disclosures made by listed companies to the stock exchanges, a senior official said, adding that Sebi is taking the issue seriously.
While trading has been previously suspended in shares of a majority of non-compliant companies, further penal actions can be initiated against them, he added.
As per latest data compiled from disclosures made to the stock exchanges, nearly 1,150 companies failed to comply with the disclosure norms for quarterly and annual financial results, while over 1,000 companies failed to comply with disclosure rules related to shareholding pattern.
These companies either failed to disclose the data in a timely manner, or the information shared had discrepancies.
While over 900 companies have not submitted shareholding data, the disclosures made by over 300 companies have errors and over 400 companies made late submissions.
With regard to financial results, close to 1,000 companies have failed to make these disclosures, over 1,100 firms have made faulty disclosures and over 600 companies submitted these disclosures after a delay.
Nearly 1,100 companies have been found to be non-complaint with 'Reconciliation of Shares and Capital Audit' regulations.
Besides, about 850 companies are non-compliant to norms for filing of quarterly corporate governance reports. Over 400 companies have made late submissions, while reports filed by over 100 companies have errors.
A majority of the firms have been found to be non- compliant on multiple fronts.
Addressing a conference on Friday, Sebi Chairman U K Sinha said: "We are going to announce something on Monday... With regard to quality of corporate disclosures, we have decided to come up with detailed guidelines about quality of corporate disclosures."
The regulator would also have a re-look at the delisting guidelines, Sinha had said, adding that the process for the same has already started.

I have a love/hate relationship with destruction videos. Love because, well, who doesn't love seeing how tough our gadgets really are? And hate because smashing up perfectly good items shows everything that is shameful and bad about our wasteful modern society.
So it is with mixed feelings that I bring you Kai W of DigitalRev TV and his series of ever-more-cruel ordeals for the Canon 7D SLR.

As controversy over the August issue of Rolling Stone continues, many local chains decided to pull the magazine off sales racks.
Both CVS and Walgreens announced via Twitter that they will not carry or sell the issue, which features a cover photo some critics said glamorizes Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is accused of carrying out the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings with his brother, Tamerlan. The bombing killed three people and wounded nearly 300 near the finish line of the marathon.
"We have decided to not sell the current issue of Rolling Stone, out of respect for the victims and their loved ones," CVS announced.
Managers of a local bookstore, Hastings, and H-E-B also said the magazine will not be on display at their stores; however, residents can buy the issue at the Barnes & Noble in Harker Heights.
"Before I saw the cover, I thought it was the picture of him in his new orange jumpsuit with shackles on his wrists," Anne Russell wrote on the Killeen Daily Herald's Facebook page. "That's the image I've seen of him and have of him."
Janet Reitman, author of "Jahar: The Making of a Monster," declined the Herald's request for an interview, but an editors' note prefacing the article stated that although the magazine's thoughts are with the victims, the story is serious coverage of a cultural issue.
"The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens," the note read.
And while the perception of the magazine's cover choice has been largely negative, Beatrice Nichols said the magazine may have been trying to prove that "evil" people don't always appear that way.
"One of the reasons that Ted Bundy was a successful serial killer is that he didn't look scary. Looks are deceiving," Nichols wrote on the Herald's Facebook page. "This young man might have passed as a 'rock star' — someone who is generally idolized in our culture."

When I was young I thought that I would live a long and healthy life without any efforts. Now as a middle-aged woman I understand that I need a little help to reach that goal. It´s not enough to eat carrots and green salad until your front teeth and ears will grow up. Who would want to look like a bunny anyway? I love iHerb´s vitamins and supplements because of their high quality and low price. I´ve been using them for years and feeding them to my hairy family, too, including my husband. We are very happy with them.

Great taste. I drink one spoonful every morning into empty stomach with a glass of water. It really helps me wake up and get going. My cat also loves when I put some powder into her water. She does not taste her normal water if she can drink wheat grass water. I also add a spoonful into berry smoothie and other raw foods. Powder is easy to use, not having to grow wheat grass and make juice out of it.

I tried this product for menopause symptoms (hot flashes and not able to sleep at night). After a week the sweating went so bad that I had to quit tablets. Now I am suffering from the worst sweating all the time and I do not know what to do!!! I am so disappointed with this product that I am giving one star only because you can not give any less. I got a very good lesson with this one: go to the doctor first and get hormone blood tests, do not take any pills by yourself because it only makes things worse.
I wanted to give this oil to my cat who has a very bad hair. Her skin is dry and hair is missing on large areas. I have put a few drops into her food and massaged oil into her skin. She does not like the smell of this oil and at first she did not eat her food. But she has got used to the smell. I also use Now Foods Avocado oil which does not have such strong smell as EPO.

This is amazing product! My husband has been a smoker for 40 years and never been able to quit. Now he has been taking these pills for a week and he does not want any cigarettes more! He takes a few pills per day, every time when he would usually go out and have a cigarette. He just does not feel to need smoking any more. He is also very relaxed and happy, not shouting, no screaming and no panic attacs even when things go wrong. Usually he would grab his cigarettes and smoke half the package when he gets nervous. These pills are small size, easy to swallow. They can be taken even on empty stomach, no problems with that. We both are so happy with them!

Nice crunchy texture but no taste at all. I like it that these bars contain only 2 grams of net carbs but they also contain 18 grams of sugar alcohols which upset my stomach. And only 2 grams of dietary fiber, could be more. Anyhow they are filling and ok as meal replacement when you are in hurry.
I am on low carb diet but sometimes I want to have a piece of normal cake with sugar. That´s why I wanted to try this product. I did not gain any more weight but the carbs (sugar) did upset my stomach and as a result I spent 2 hours in toilet. Will propably not buy again.

I have not tasted Goji Berries before, so I did not know what to expect. These were small, sticky and taste was bad. I did not like them. Moreover I read in newspaper that Chinese Goji berries are not so safe to eat even though they are said to be organic. I prefer domestic superfood instead.
I bought this product for my husband who has eye problems. After 2 weeks his vision has improved greatly. He can see better in dark places and his eyes do not get so tired by working on computer. Good product and iHerb´s service is great, I will definitely buy again.

I wanted to try it as a laxative instead of magnesium pills but for me it´s too strong.
Posted by Cataddicted on Aug 16, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I took 5-HTP for a week and during that time my blood pressure got very high, 190/110. Usually it is 135/90. A couple of days after I quit taking the pills, it went back to normal. I also had no improvement of sleep or noticed no other signs which were promised. I am very dissapointed with this product.

+Beared-Out+ to +single out,+ match new couplesApril 8, 1997
'Beared-Out' to 'single
out,' match new couples
BTC bringing Baylor version of MTV's 'Singled Out' to Diadeloso
By A. Latham Staples
Lariat Reporter
What do Jenny McCarthy, Carmen Electra, President Robert B. Sloan Jr. and Diadeloso have in common?
Sorry MTV fans, Singled Out is not coming to the University April 17. However, during Diadeloso the Baylor Transfer Council will sponsor 'Beared-Out,' a program similar to MTV's Singled Out, in which Sloan will participate as a male contestant.
LeighAnne King, a Waco junior and BTC booth chairwoman, said that trying to get the 'Beared-Out' program incorporated into the Diadeloso activities was a struggle.
'Last year an organization was to hold a booth entitled 'Singled Out,'' King said. 'People from as far as Abilene began purchasing tickets to fly to Waco to see the real Singled Out. When Chamber began receiving phone calls concerning this situation they were forced to cancel it.'
Jon-Marc McDonald, a Fort Worth sophomore, said he is enthusiastic about BTC's 'Beared-Out' booth to be held under the tent in the intramural fields.
'We had dancing last year and now we are having a 'Singled Out' program,' McDonald said. 'I think it is wonderful that Baylor not only focuses on academics but on the social life of students. Hopefully I will be able to be one of the male contestants.'
King said when she approached Chamber about the possibilities of having the booth, 'Chamber shied away due to the past problems of the association with MTV's Singled Out.'
'We tried to get the approval for the booth twice, but Chamber said it wouldn't work at Baylor,' King said. 'Then Jeff Marshall called and said if they had a complete report of all questions to be asked and if the name was changed, then they would approve it.'
Marshall, a Little Rock, Ark., senior and activities chair of Diadeloso, said after much consideration and discussion of Beared-Out with administration officials, Chamber decided to approve the BTC booth.
'We talked to the administration concerning BTC's booth and decided that with proper care this booth could be a success,' Marshall said. 'We are excited about the booth and if it is run right it will be a success.'
The BTC will hold seven showings of 'Beared-Out' beginning at 11 a.m.
'We want people to get involved,' King said. 'We are trying to get everybody involved including various athletic groups, Greek organizations, BRH and other groups. We hope that students will fill the open spots available.'

DoorDash Drive orders:
Same delivery rate standard DoorDash orders (above) and 100% of tip paid by the customer*
*DoorDash Drive orders are traditionally larger and may require more time to complete (find out more details on DoorDash Drive here). Because of this, each DoorDash Drive order will have a guaranteed minimum earning based on the order value. If the standard rate + tip are less than the guaranteed minimum earning, DoorDash will pay extra to make up the difference. Here are two examples where standard rate is $5.
- Ex 1: $15 guaranteed minimum earning on an order. I am given a $20 tip; DoorDash still pays the $5 per delivery rate. I make $25 on this order.

At select Drive merchants, Dashers will be able to collect a paper receipt at pickup, get that receipt signed by the customer and submit a photo of the signed receipt at drop off. If a customer adds a tip when signing the receipt, that tip will be added to your pay. Pro Tip: most restaurants have No Tip Solicitation Policy for catering orders. They do not want drivers to ask for a tip when the receipt is being signed. Pro Tip: some customers submit their tip when they place the order. When that happens, your tip will already be in your app. All receipts and tips will be reviewed by DoorDash and the merchant. Any fraudulent tip activity will result in immediate deactivation and legal action.
For more information on DoorDash Drive, please see this page.

Amazon is trying to angle its way into indie bookstores through a new program that gets small bookstores to sell Kindle and eBooks in exchange for a commission.
The new service is called Amazon Source. Through the program independent bookstores can sell Kindle devices in their stores and earn a 10 percent commission on every Kindle book purchased on that device for the first two years that the customer owns the device. Amazon will also offer these retailers a 6 percent discount on the Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of Kindle device and a 35 percent discount on Kindle Accessories.
Amazon tested this new platform with a digital sales integration with British book retailer Waterstones last year. This new service could appeal to indie bookstores that would like to get into eBooks. But Kobo , Zola Books and reKiosk also have programs to help indie bookstores sell eBooks and they give higher commissions and don't require a commitment to a device.

A report says a Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum manager under scrutiny for simultaneously working as a consultant to the producer of a rave at the venue also hired a City Hall lobbyist.
The Los Angeles Times said Sunday that a firm owned by Coliseum administrator Todd DeStefano hired lobbyist Paul Vizcaino in September as he sought to end a rave moratorium brought on by June's Electric Daisy Carnival, where police and medical officials said drug use was rampant and security inadequate. About 120 people were hospitalized, including a girl who overdosed and later died.
DeStefano was working for both the Coliseum and rave producer Insomniac, Inc. at the time. He did not offer comment to the Times, but has previously said his two jobs were not a conflict of interest.

Fisheries Protection Program
Fish have long had economic, environmental, cultural and spiritual value to Canadians, yet the sustainability and productivity of fisheries today are threatened by multiple and interacting stressors. The sustainability and ongoing productivity of commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries are best achieved when partners and stakeholders with a common interest work together to conserve and protect fish and fish habitat.
The Fisheries Protection Program (FPP) of Fisheries and Oceans Canada works collaboratively with others to manage impacts to commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries resulting from habitat degradation or loss, alterations to fish passage and flow, and aquatic invasive species.
FPP is responsible for the administration of the fisheries protection provisions of the Fisheries Act including the establishment of guidelines and regulations. FPP is also responsible for the administration of certain provisions of the Species at Risk Act, and has specific legislative responsibilities in relation to federal environmental assessment regimes including, among others, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012, and regimes in the territories and under land claims agreements.
FPP provides advice to proponents to enable them to proactively avoid and mitigate the effects of projects on fish and fish habitat, undertakes the review of proposed works, undertakings and activities that may affect fish and fish habitat, and ensures compliance with the Fisheries Act and the Species at Risk Act by issuing authorizations and permits, when appropriate, with conditions for offsetting, monitoring, and reporting.
FPP is also responsible for meeting the duty to consult, and when appropriate, accommodate, in relation to potential impacts on Aboriginal and Treaty rights related to authorizations or permits that may be issued under the Fisheries Act or the Species at Risk Act.
In addition, FPP provides its expertise through the Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan, delivers the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program, and supports the administration of the Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations.
Regulatory Partnerships
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has arrangements with certain federal agencies and provincial governments who conduct an initial review of project plans, under their respective jurisdictions, to determine if project proponents require advice or DFO review under the fisheries protection provisions of the Fisheries Act. If your project is regulated by the National Energy Board or the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, or takes place in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island, you should contact the appropriate federal agency or provincial department before contacting DFO.
Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program
The Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program provides funding to recreational fisheries and conservation groups undertaking fish habitat restoration activities. These activities support the common long term goal of enhancing the sustainability and ongoing productivity of Canada's recreational fisheries.
Expert Support for Contaminated Sites
With the goal of protecting fish and fish habitat to ensure sustainable aquatic ecosystems, FPP provides expert support to federal custodial departments, through science-based and nationally consistent advice, to foster effective and cost-efficient federal contaminated site management.

What's happening in food and dining around South Florida.
Wild Sea Oyster Bar & Grille
Riverside Hotel, 620 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-467-2555, RiversideHotel.com
Three years after shuttering the Grill Room, the historic Riverside has debuted a fresh, sleek replacement, quite a departure from the previous continental old-style formality.
A raw bar serving East and West Coast oysters leads into a straight-lined dining room anchored by a wine cellar. Chocolate-brown chairs and banquette contrast the light-wood floor and cream walls with blue sea-creature light boxes, all punctuated by burnt-orange high-top chairs at the bar. Sidewalk seating entices as well.
Guests can nibble on the complimentary bar snack of white-cheddar, jalapeno popcorn or watch their server prepare raw seafood salads tableside.
The seafood-heavy modern American menu changes frequently with sustainable and organic ingredients, but you may find dishes such as scallop ceviche ($14), wild mushroom salad with goat cheese and smoked hazelnut vinaigrette ($13), monkfish with pork belly and rainbow chard ($32) and braised veal cheeks with sweetbreads and sunflower-seed gremolata ($35).
"When we were exploring a restaurant concept for Las Olas Boulevard, we reached out to visitors and the local community," says executive chef Toby Joseph says. "The concept recommendations were leaning overwhelmingly toward an upscale seafood restaurant experience."
After serving dinner Tuesdays through Saturdays, Wild Sea transitions to a lounge until 1 a.m. weeknights and until 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights with cocktails such as tequila with blood orange, candied rhubarb and lime ($13) and a DJ on Thursdays and Fridays, or a saxophonist on select nights.
14811 Lyons Road, #106, west of Delray Beach, 561-638-9996, JapangoMenu.com
Kevin Lee, who was executive chef at the former Kyoto Sushi in Delray Beach, is expecting to open his third Japango mid-month in a primo spot next to Frank Theatres in the new Delray Marketplace.
"I have always wondered what it would be like to have a business where you have hundreds or thousands of people walking by on a daily basis," says Lee.
The menu and pricing will mirror its Boca Raton sibling and the original one that opened in Parkland in 2004. The decor, however, is even more fun and funkier with the sushi bar as the focal point, accented by vibrant terracotta and blue colors, a high ceiling, a gigantic display of sake bottles and LED lighting mimicking a wave of water. Alfresco dining will overlook the movie theater.
"I think the most important factor in Japango's success so far is the innovative sushi and consistent Asian cuisine," Lee says. "Customers have a vast selection of entrees from all over Asia such as Japanese, Thai and Chinese. And even Korean will be added later as well."
Signatures are shrimp and lobster wonton soup ($6.50), spicy tuna crispy rice ($9.95), tuna pizza on crispy tortilla with wasabi cream ($10.95) and Japango fried rice with shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetables ($13.95). Most of the 25 specialty rolls, such as shrimp gorgonzola with peanuts, arugula and port-wine reduction ($10.95), are less than $15.
Lunch and dinner will be served daily.
Johnny V
625 E. Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-761-7920, JohnnyVLasOlas.com

Brody Still Can't Find His Razor -- Details, Details, Details
Details Magazine teamed up with Emporio Armani to throw a little shindig in LA last night, and some of my very favorites showed up to play. Okay, I'm mostly talking about Adam Brody (must.ignore.his.need.to.shave). The cast of Big Love was also in the house, including always cute (plus, more and more Katie Holmes looking) Ginnifer. I mostly try to ignore her boyfriend Chris Klein, though (ever since that "alpha male" interview). Speaking of reality TV (not that we were) ANTM Winner and Cover Girl Model Caridee English seems to be making the most of her success these days. Maybe one of those girls will end up legitimately successful after all. Seacrest, out!

SAN FRANCISCO — Buoyed by a new president's promise to make the federal government more open, immigrant advocates are fighting to learn more about a fast-growing program to deport illegal immigrants without a court hearing.
Immigration judges in San Francisco ordered more than 3,700 illegal immigrants deported in the past five years without seeing them in person, according to data obtained by a Stanford University law clinic.
Almost 100,000 immigrants nationwide have signed what is called the "stipulated order of removal" while in jail, waiving the right to appear before a judge, agreeing to a speedy deportation and barring themselves from entering the United States for at least a decade.
The law clinic and a coalition of other groups last year wrested from the Department of Justice information about the breadth of the program, but requests to learn more about how it works were rejected.
"We got virtually nothing in terms of how the program is run," said Karen Tumlin of the National Immigration Law Center. "You don't run a program of that size without having some instruction to the line workers."
The groups sued in November, asserting the government was concealing records that should be public.
"From what we're hearing, people are being told that the benefit is they can get out of detention sooner," said Jennifer Lee Koh, teaching fellow at the immigrants' rights clinic at Stanford Law School.
"The problem is they're also being forced to sign away their rights. … We feel they should know what they are getting into when they sign a stipulated order."
One morning last week, Koh implored a San Francisco federal judge presiding over the open records case to consider President Barack Obama's directive to federal agencies the day after his inauguration to "adopt a presumption in favor" of Freedom of Information Act requests. The judge scoffed at Koh's request as he scheduled a full hearing on the case for September.
"I have no power to do that. I don't run the Justice Department," said Judge Charles Breyer. "I'm not here to enforce the president of the United States' policies."
Charles Miller, spokesman for the Justice Department, would not comment on the case while it is still in court.
Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement whose detention officers handle the orders, insist that the program is transparent, voluntary and effective.
The orders are most frequently used at large detention facilities, said Virginia Kice, an immigration spokeswoman. She said agency officers read and thoroughly explain the order, and other options, to those who volunteer to sign them.
"We can make an alien aware of (the stipulated orders)," Kice said. "They, of course, would have to concur. And before it becomes final, it has to be approved by the judge."
Judges never see detained immigrants who have signed the order; they instead review and sign paperwork. Some judges find the process troubling, said Dana Leigh Marks, a San Francisco immigration judge and president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.
Marks said some immigrants might be eligible to legally remain in the United States and not know it. Judges usually make those determinations, but when reviewing stipulated orders, they rely on a limited amount of information collected by detention officers — which can lead to "bad information in, bad information out," she said.
The stepped-up enforcement of recent years has overburdened the nation's 214 immigration judges, she said. They adjudicated more than 350,000 cases last year. Stipulated orders, meant to streamline the removal of illegal immigrants from crowded jails, can be time-consuming.
"It's fair to say it's no cure-all, and there's the concern the cure is worse than the illness," Marks said. "You've got the potential for a serious mistake being made. … If they come into court, the judge can ask them a question."
Marks said she has not handled many of the orders during her time in San Francisco. Immigration judges based in the city preside over deportation cases across Northern California.
Judges based here approved fewer than 4 percent of the stipulated removals nationwide since 1999. The biggest generator of the orders, the Eloy Detention Center in Arizona, processed more than 17,000 of them, or about one third of the total. With almost 8,000 orders, the biggest California generator was the Mira Loma Detention Center in Lancaster, which holds most illegal immigrants arrested in the Los Angeles area.
Although illegal immigrants began waiving court hearings in the 1990s, it was not until 2004 that the orders became commonplace. That year, 5,481 stipulated orders were signed, steadily increasing to 31,554 in 2007, according to the documents obtained by the law clinic. About 95 percent of those who signed the orders had no lawyers.
Tumlin said how the orders are presented, and who is targeted, and why some regions use them more than others, remains a mystery to those outside of the jails where the orders are signed.
"We really don't know why the numbers are so big in San Francisco," she said. "It doesn't really make sense to us."

Deep wrap-around balconies lend a cool, streamlined feel to the penthouse at Foster + Partners-designed Faena House.
Faena House's rooftop infinity pool.
The Residences atop the Miami Beach Edition offer privacy with high-end hotel services.
Terrace at Ian Schrager's The Residences, which has been shattering the ceiling for condo prices in town.
Ian Schrager and Alan Faena have a thing or two in common. They're both maverick real estate developers, hotel pioneers who have merged high art, world-class culture, and sexy nightlife with a place to lay your head. Whether it's for one night or year-round is your call, if you have the budget.
And they're both changing Miami Beach. Each has a stunning new real estate development on the stretch of Collins Avenue between 24th and 44th Streets, an area that, until recently, has been a quiet residential corridor, acting mostly as a nondescript drive-by for tourists cruising from the W South Beach or the Setai to the Fontainebleau or Soho Beach House.
They also both have heavyweight collaborators for their Collins Avenue projects. Schrager's The Residences at the Miami Beach Edition (2901 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-571-3101) comprises 26 condos designed by John Pawson located atop the hotel brand that Schrager has created with Marriott—a resort that will feature a Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant. A stone's throw away sits Faena House (3201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-534-8800) 47 residences designed by Foster + Partners that are part of the three-block-by-two-block Faena District. The developer's eponymous district includes a hotel, marina, and three Rem Koolhaas-designed spaces: an arts center, shopping area, and hightech parking garage. Both men are armed with their respective Douglas Elliman sales teams of high-profile brokers who know New York as well as Miami.
As the neighborhood's reputation changes from a modest condominium stretch to high-end luxury living, Schrager and Faena are shattering the ceiling for condo prices in town. Both properties have been selling preconstruction units for more than $3,000 per square foot since hitting the market earlier this year. The $34 million sale of two penthouses to one buyer at Edition clocked in at a record $3,800 per square foot.
"I wasn't surprised," Schrager says. "There were a number of shifts that Miami was undergoing. A lot of sophisticated people were here, caused in part by Art Basel. When you get a sophisticated international buyer, they're used to spending that money to live in a sophisticated place. And Miami has become that."
And Schrager, who's opened everything from New York's Studio 54 to Miami Beach's Delano, points out that the residential feel of the surrounding blocks protects buyers from the tourist throngs they would find in South Beach's hotel district, practically forming a barrier.
"This is an area that's surrounded by a lot of condominiums, so it will never get cheesy," says Schrager, who adds that Edition's mix of high-end finishes (such as alabaster-glass bathroom partitions, open Bulthaup kitchens, and bleached-teak flooring) with hotel services is an easy sell.
"Having apartments as part of a hotel really brings added value because you're offering a tremendous amount of amenities. There are only two things you can offer: product distinction and services. If you can offer both, that's an unbeatable combination," he says. "You don't have to have your own housekeeping staff. You get everything with the hotel—we'll clean, we'll babysit, plan your parties, set up dinner parties from the Jean-Georges restaurant; we'll get you reservations. You get everything a great hotel has and also have the benefit of your privacy."
Buyers, mostly domestic, have responded to Schrager's pitch. By June, about three-quarters of the building had sold.
Faena House is on a similar path, having sold more than half of its own units by June. Alan Faena has been here before. He already has a Faena District in Buenos Aires, where he turned the formerly grimy Puerto Madero area into a vibrant neighborhood by building apartments, an arts center, and a hotel with an alluring pool scene and a sultry tango show.
Puerto Madero "was an abandoned place, all deserted," Faena says. "The city thought it had no chance to recover. I saw the buildings, an abandoned factory. I realized the place was great. Everybody was thinking it was impossible and nobody would come, but I created the most expensive real estate in Argentina, the best neighborhood in Buenos Aires."
And surely, with this influx of money and aesthetics, this sleepy neighborhood, too, will blossom. Retail and restaurants are likely to follow, where there's space. Of the changes, Miami Beach Mayor Matti Herrera Bower says, "Architecture was the first form of art. The art is moving north. Miami Beach is all about art, culture, and diversity." Tired and nondescript? Not anymore.
"Once the bar has been lifted, I don't think it ever goes back," Schrager says. "The bar's been lifted, and you're going to see Miami selling more products at these prices, provided that they are selling distinctive products."

Gene Simmons Hospital Visit Makes Kiss Fan's Last Wish Come True
A critically ill Las Vegas teen was granted his last wish by Gene Simmons, who flew to his hospital bedside for an in-person visit.
KVVU reports that the Kiss co-founder was contacted by staff at the Children's Hospital of Nevada, who told him about 17-year-old Pediatric Intensive Care patient Dilan Kohn. Simmons reportedly flew out the next morning, bringing "a huge bag full of signed memorabilia."
The visit was commemorated with a post on the hospital's Facebook page, where staff posted pictures of Simmons and Kohn's time together. "Mr. Simmons had not only been Dilan's idol, but also his inspiration growing up," reads the post in part. "The two hung out, shared stories and laughed together for well over an hour while staff looked on with tears in their eyes. Thank you Mr. Simmons for making this wish come true just in time."
As the post notes, the timing of Simmons' visit was crucial — according to the hospital, Kohn passed away mere days after his wish came true.
Simmons' good works also made the news last fall, when he performed at a benefit concert that ended with police showing up at the mansion where it was being held in response to noise complaints. Simmons' bandmate Paul Stanley made his own hospital visit last spring, when he spent time with a young patient undergoing surgery for bilateral microtia, a condition with which he has personal experience.

THEY wear traditional navy blue, but it is a black and white philosophy that will propel the new Carlton in tonight's NAB Cup grand final.
Triple premiership coach Mick Malthouse has taken the Blues back to the future - using Collingwood's 2010 style of play to spark a revival at Visy Park.
It was a blueprint that revolutionised the game and now it's back in blue.
Exclusive Champion Data stats reveal the once free-wheeling Carlton has turned defensive suffocator in the pre-season competition.
Collingwood's 2010 flag win was based on a determination to keep the ball in its forward half and the Pies' ability to create stoppages and force turnovers was the best the game had seen.
An examination of Malthouse's Blues show Carlton excelling at creating forward half turnovers and then scoring from those turnovers.
The Blues have forced 89 mistakes in their attacking half during the pre-season, 15 more than any other club.
Carlton has scored 155 points from this source, nine goals more than their rivals.
Mick puts fringe Blues to task
Malthouse told a documentary crew over summer that he would order his new side to "dramatically change".
Best wishes, Lou
"Carlton have played a different way than the way I coach my sides."
Local team joins concussion study
"There's no right way or wrong way of coaching a football side if they win, but the way Carlton played was substantially different to the way I want the side to play," Malthouse said in the three-part series, Mick Malthouse: No Limits.
"So that's a heck of a lot of training and a lot of faith to say, 'We're going to drop that and do this'. But I always believe in smart people - please the fool, don't tease the fool.
"Coming into the organisation I feel the first thing (I noticed) was a lack of confidence, probably lack of surety, maybe a group of men that needed structure and needed leadership."
Carlton has spent an average 7 minutes 19 seconds more than its opponents per match in the forward half, ranked second behind Richmond.
After four NAB Cup games, the Blues boast five of the top 20 forward half pressure players in the league.
Utility Dennis Armfield, who twice ran down Adelaide speedster Patrick Dangerfield at AAMI Stadium last weekend, is in sixth spot.
Andrew Carrazzo (10th), Mitch Robinson (12th), Eddie Betts (17th) and Jeff Gartlett (20th) are the other forward half attack dogs.
"Carlton right now have got some ageing superstars, some mid-aged players who are very, very good and a couple of young blokes who are on the up," Malthouse said. "Every player on the list will be given a clean slate to move forward."

OXFORD'S historic Covered Market faces "unprecedented" upheaval, with roughly one in six businesses looking to sell up.
Traders are blaming a threatened hike in rent costs and competition from the internet.
Of the 58 businesses at the city centre market, 10 are looking to move on.
The latest casualty is The Oxford Boot Store, which is set to close after more than two decades.
The store is part of Macsamillion, which started from a stall in the market in the early 1970s before launching a store in 1975.
Macsamillion chairman Vicki Alder, 50, from Grove, said: "This was not an easy decision to take because this is a family business.
"The rent and the Internet were the two big factors – the city council was asking us for a 40 per cent rent increase in the current negotiations, which is tough when takings have come down."
Macsamillion runs two Macsamillion stores as well as The Oxford Boot Store.
But 'closing down' signs have gone up in the window of the boot store, which opened in the mid-1980s.
The shop will remain trading until the lease is sold, with the two staff redeployed to Macsamillion.
"Perhaps this will be a wake-up call to the council that they could face losing independent traders from the market," said Ms Alder.
Oxford-based property management company Central Business Agency is now handling the sale of leases.
Partner Stephen Reeves said: "I've been doing this for 30 years and this is an exceptional period for the Covered Market.
"This is unprecedented – there are a number of traders disenchanted by high rents and other factors.
"We have also been consulted by several other traders about the possibility of selling."
Four of the 10 are to be sold as going concerns, but six are looking to close down. Currently there are no vacant premises at the market, which opened in 1774. The 10 leases have been on the market for the last six to nine months.
Earlier this year it emerged that rent increases faced by traders in the historic market off High Street varied between 40 per cent and 70 per cent, and rents on the shops are being reviewed by landlord Oxford City Council.
Sandie Griffith, a spokesman for the Covered Market Traders' Association, who runs Jemini flower shop, estimated that up to 30 per cent of total floor space – 27,700sq ft – was for sale.
She added: "A lot of traders are frightened by the latest rent increase being proposed, and I can't afford to stay here."
Leases are also up for sale at The Oxford Engraver and children's clothes shop Two Foot Nothing.
Alex French, 22, assistant manager at the engraving shop, said: "We are facing a 40 per cent rent increase and have already gone down from three units to one."
The market's leasing strategy says chains are not generally permitted, and some traders complained when national chain Cards Galore took over the former Palms delicatessen shop earlier this year.
The council says it routinely reviews the rents every five years.
Executive member for city development Colin Cook said: "This situation is not just down to high rents. It's partly as a result of the age of some traders, who are looking to retire and cash in their chips.
"When rents are assessed for market traders we look at close comparators on the high street."

Help preparing for first e-gull flight
Hi everyone,
Well I decided on the e-gull for my first plane and now I'm getting ready for my first flight. The batteries are charged and the plane is put together and set-up correctly(I hope). So why do I feel like I forgot to do something? What else should I do/not do. How should I set the trim on the throttle? Haven't got a clue. Also the push rods don't seem to move the aerlons very much, should I be concerned or does a little go a long way. I have no basis for comparison because I have never flown. Any suggestion would be a great help. Hope the weather stays nice.
Thanks for the support,
First thing to do is make sure it's trimmed properly before 'powered' flight. To do this you need to do 'glide' tests with it. Remember this plane is a very good glider.
Go to a grassy field on a no wind day is best (take off wheels if there are any on your plane, the grass will only flip it). First, make sure wing is centered on fuselage. Power up the Transmitter (TX). Make sure the trim setting on the TX are in the middle. Make sure the throttle stick is down (off). Install the battery into the e-gull. Test the control surfaces that they are working. Next to a range check (if you can) by having some one hold the model while you walk a bout 50 yards away. The controls should still be working on your model. Then....
Okay now your ready for the glide tests. Remember no motor running for these tests.
What you want to see is a long straight flat glide (at least 30 - 50 feet). You are going to adjust the tail until you get a good glide from the E-GULL. See the manual on how to adjust the tail. So throw the plane 'straight' forward fairly hard and trying not to twist your hand (after a couple of times you'll know how much). If the plane turns one way or the other you can adjust either the trim tab on your TX or (as I did on mine, just adjust the appropriate rudder control rod by pinching or spreading the 'V' notch.) If it dives or porpoises adjust the set screws to adjust the angle of tail. Keep gliding until you get a decent glide.
THEN, enable the motor, and give the motor full throttle and throw it straight just like in the glide tests and you should be climbing. Let it climb to about 50 feet, then move your stick to left or right -- but not much. Do big circles. Don't hold the stick one way to long or you'll enter the spiral of death! Don't get to high. Back off on the throttle to quit climbing. Keep it close, not to far away.
Remember to keep the plane in front of you as this will help you orientation.
Keep the sun behind you. Don't let the plane get between you and the sun. You'll lose sight of it and could crash!
Pick a big field with not many obsticles hopefully none!
Oh, one more thing. Always do a test glide when you go 'again' to the field to fly. We found that the E-GULL sometimes would get out of trim and need an 'adjustment'.
Hope these hints help and most of all have fun and have a good flight. .

RCJ has covered most of the basics. Calm days are best, especially until you get the hang of it. Don't forget to keep the tx antenna pointed up and not at the plane (mine ran away from me yesterday and perched itself in a tree 30' up with thorny underbrush). Get a good understanding of the difference between ground speed and air speed (the scenario above was also complicated by a 4-5 MPH tail wind and I had very low throttle - I panicked and forgot about airspeed ).
In my experience, the throttle trim really doesn't do much but I will now try using it cranked up so that I always have some air speed.
In the first few flights, hook it up to the furthest notch on the control horn (see manual) and use the stick gently.
I didn't have as good instructions because I found this site after my first few flights (mishaps probably better describes it). I find that the porpoising effect is the worst thing once in the air but I will try out some of RJC's glide instructions above after the weekend.
Have fun. Before long, you will be wanting something with more control.
Thanks for the help guys. I can't wait to go for a flight.

If you thought the Audi RS5 didn't deliver enough of a hair-raising experience, you'll be pleased to hear the car maker has made it more split-end inducing by lopping the roof off.
Audi says the car will be one of the stars of this month's Paris Motor Show, thanks to the RS5 Cabriolet claiming the title of maddest drop-top to ever wear an RS badge.
The Cabriolet features something called a lightweight "acoustic hood". It's said this fabric top will offer similar levels of sound absorption to the RS5 Coupe, and will take 15 seconds to open and 17 to close. Posers will be pleased to hear it can be raised or lowed at up to 31mph too.
Two backseat passengers and their luggage can enjoy the ride, as the hood is not only good at deadening sound, but once lowered takes up minimal space in the boot.
Under the bonnet it's a familiar affair – 4.2-litres of V8 goodness. It's an engine that provides 448bhp, and can cover the 0-60mph sprint in just 4.7 seconds.
Earlier this year the RS5 Coupe received a subtle makeover to make it just that bit more imposing.
The Convertible benefits from this too, and the styling additions include a revised grille, "solid band" wrap-around LED daytime running lights and LED rear lamps, new bumpers and 19-inch alloys. Cabriolet models also boast a matt black boot spoiler.
Inside, like the revised Coupe, there's a new flat-bottomed steering wheel, Bluetooth, cruise control, sat nav and an iPod connection. But unlike its Coupe sibling, the Cabriolet sits 20mm lower and it has larger and firmer anti-roll bars.
Customer order books open later this year, and at the same time Audi will announce prices. We do know, however, it'll go on sale in Germany in 2013 costing a shade over £70,000.

Farhad Kamali is Professor of human and experimental pharmacology at Newcastle University, Newcastle, UK where his work focuses on the mechanisms of drug toxicity and in particular the toxicity associated with oral anticoagulants. His research in the anticoagulation field aims to elucidate risks and benefits of anticoagulation and to achieve appropriate clinical strategies for prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease using a whole system research approach. Studies range from investigations using a hepatic model through which the action of anticoagulants upon the vitamin K cycle and mechanisms of drug interactions are explored in vitro, to determining the contribution of dietary status, genetic polymorphisms of drug metabolism and pharmacodynamics, contribution of health related quality of life issues to appropriateness of anticoagulation, and the impact of patient education about therapy and patient self-management of anticoagulation control in reducing thromboembolism and bleeding.

(Corrects to remove company not in story from RIC codes)
BOGOTA, May 13 (Reuters) - Ecopetrol's Cartagena refinery on Colombia's north coast will return to operation around October or November but could take up to five months to reach its normal production speed, a director at the state-run company said on Wednesday.
The refinery, which produces fuels and other oil derivatives mainly for the export market, has been undergoing a $6.4 billion renovation that is expected to double its capacity to around 165,000 barrels per day.
"We're already in the final phase of construction ... These activities should permit the refinery's operation to commence by October or November," Pedro Rosales, Ecopetrol's vice president of Refining and Industrial Processes told analysts on a conference call.
He said the plant would start up in stages until all 31 of its refining units were brought online.
"It's a process that has to be conducted carefully for security and efficiency reasons, and the complete process could take between three and five months," he said.
Ecopetrol said on Tuesday it had returned to profit again in the first quarter of the year after reporting a rare loss in the fourth quarter of 2014, due to the plunge in crude oil prices. Profits were down 96 percent from a year ago. (Reporting by Nelson Bocanegra and Peter Murphy; Editing by Ted Botha)

The Parks Department is removing signs posted in Central Park that state the bicycle speed limit is 15 mph, saying they are outdated and should not be enforced.
Parks Department spokeswoman Vickie Karp told The New York Times that the speed limit for cyclists is 25 mph, the same as that for cars on the park's roadways.
The 15 mph signs were posted in the park in the 1990s.
The parks commissioner at the time, Betsy Gotbaum, set the speed after what she said was extensive study.
"We did a lot of testing, riding bicycles alongside our cars, seeing how fast you could go and then stop without killing someone," she told the Times in 1991.
An appellate court in Manhattan upheld the 15 mph limit in 1993 after it was challenged by cyclists. The ruling said the speed limit was reasonable given "police statistics that catalog the number of bicycle accidents," the Times said.
Ten cyclists were ticketed this week for breaking the 15 mph limit. The tickets were revoked and police have apologized.

Gayatri Yoga Center
New name and corporate identity of the former Yoga Center Daulet Nazarov
New name and corporate identity of the former Yoga Center Daulet Nazarov
The basis of corporate identity is "Surya Namaskar" - the worship of the sun. "Surya" means "sun" and "Namaskar" - "greeting". In ancient times the sun was the subject of the daily ritual of worship, because it was a powerful symbol of spiritual consciousness. The idolization of the Sun and worship it was for each person the first and most natural form of expression of internal feeling. In the culture of Yoga - Sun worship is practiced as a daily ritual. Surya Namaskar represents a series from 12 positions of a body. The main element of identity is the sun, consisting of figures standing in the asanas. The ideal time to engage in the practice of Surya Namaskar - sunrise, the most quiet times, when the atmosphere is filled with sunlight, so important to humans. That is why the visual composition is built on a greeting the sun. The choice of the spectral range is not accidental. As you know, yoga believe that a person has seven energy centers (chakras). Each chakra has its own color and energy.
Thank You!
