When an investigation into a hostile environment sexual harassment complaint reveals that the complaining employee has engaged in some crude behavior of her own, you need to be able to differentiate between run-of-the-mill humor and humor that crosses the harassment line.
Funny Business
The owner of a medical clinic told dirty jokes; talked about oral sex and women's breasts; made sexual comments about female drug representatives who came to the clinic; used terms such as "slut" and "c***" to refer to female employees and patients.

Sega and Atlus announced their E3 2017 lineup
Sega originally acquired Atlus in 2013, but the two companies continued to operate separately in the years that followed. But they've been growing closer in 2017, and this year's E3 Expo marks the first time that Sega and Atlus are presenting a joint booth to the industry.
As you might expect, the Sega half of the booth will be anchored by Sonic the Hedgehog… more specifically, this Summer's Sonic Mania and this Fall's Sonic Forces. Both games will share space with two upcoming Yakuza games (Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and Yakuza Kiwami), as well as Total War: Warhammer II and a bevy of Atlus-branded RPGs.
"We're really pleased to see Yakuza and Sonic back on the biggest stage for video games, and having the first public hands-on for Total War: Warhammer II underlines a really strong showing from Sega and Atlus this year," said John Clark, the Senior Vice President for Sega Europe. "We look forward to welcoming trade visitors but we're especially looking forward to having the public come and see our line-up this year, it's great for E3 and it's great for publishers. We're confident there's something for everyone on the Sega stands this year."
The 2017 E3 Expo opens its doors this Tuesday, June 13, and you can find Atlus and Sega's full lineup after the break. (more…)
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will be released in North America in Early 2018
Atlus has confirmed that Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology will be released in North America in Early 2018. Radiant Historia was originally released for the DS in 2011, and Perfect Chronology will bring the turn-based RPG to the 3DS in an expanded form.
First announced by Atlus Japan back in March as part of their "Spring Broadcast 2017," Perfect Chronology will feature enhanced graphics and sound, as well as new story content, and additional difficulty options:
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology Features
- An Enhanced Retelling of the Original – You'll once again take the reins of Alistel operative Stocke as he unlocks the power of the White Chronicle relic and gains the ability to travel between two alternate timelines. With his newfound powers, Stocke will need to right the wrongs of the past in order to prevent the total annihilation of the world. This time though, things are a bit different. Redesigned character art, new character voice-overs, a brand-new opening animation by A-1 Pictures, new theme song, event illustrations, five new tracks from original composer Yoko Shimomura, and additional difficulty settings will enhance the experience in this fresh take of a beloved story.
- Exhilarating New Story Content – Stocke will now encounter a mysterious new character named Nemesia who will teach him more about his world's history and unlock a third timeline to explore the ripple effect of some of his actions with episodic "what-if" scenarios. If you're a Radiant Historia purist who simply wants to play through the original game's story, we have you covered! Perfect Chronology offers two different modes: Append and Perfect. Append mode allows you to beat the original game before having the option to start a NewGame+ with the added content, while Perfect mode lets you play through the game with the inclusion of the third timeline from the beginning.
- A Classic That Can't Be Missed – Even though there's an abundance of expanded content to delve into, the heart and soul of Radiant Historia remains the same. If you missed out on the original game in 2011, the upcoming port is the perfect chance to play a modern classic. With an exciting positioning-based battle system, memorable characters, and thrilling time-travel mechanics, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is an essential for JRPG fans.
The first teaser trailer for Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology has been embedded above.

Atlus Japan unveils new trailers for a Radiant Historia remake, SMT: Deep Strange Journey, Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2
In case you missed it, Atlus Japan revealed three new games over the weekend during a special "Spring Broadcast 2017" livestream…
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is an enhanced remake of Radiant Historia, which was originally released for the DS in 2010. The remake will be available for the 3DS in Japan on June 29.
Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey is also an enhanced remake, and it'll give players the chance to reexamine 2010's Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey on the 3DS. It'll launch in Japan this Fall.
Finally, Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 is a dungeon-crawling sequel to 2015's Etrian Mystery Dungeon, and it'll be released for the 3DS in Japan on August 31.
Atlus didn't announce a North American release date for any of these titles, but it seems likely that all three will eventually make it out of Japan. For now, teaser trailers for all three games can be found after the break. (more…)

Atlus is bringing a Radiant Historia remake to the 3DS in Japan
Radiant Historia was originally released for the DS in 2011, but a new report from Famitsu (via Gematsu) has confirmed that Atlus will re-release the RPG on the 3DS later this year.
The remake will be known as Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, and a new generation of portable players will be able to experience the story found in the original game, as well as enhanced graphics, a new character, a full voice cast, and a never-before-seen "Sub-History" expansion.
But there's just one catch… Atlus has yet to announce a North American release date for Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. While it seems likely the remake will cross the Pacific, for now, we'll have to make do with this translation of a short Q&A with the game's Director, Mitsuru Hirata:
Famitsu: What's the story behind developing a full remake?
Hirata: Thanks to everyone's longstanding support, the build up of wanting to release this title has has risen even within Atlus. Since providing a world experience is essential in an RPG, we kept in mind not to change that impression. We reviewed the playability and improved it overall.
Famitsu: What kind of story is the Sub-History?
Hirata: The third history that is neither the Standard History or the Alternate History is the Sub-History. The Sub-History is not just a single parallel world—the treatment of characters and timeline interpretation, how the Sub-History was born, each of these is different from the Standard History and Alternate History.
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology is currently scheduled to launch in Japan on June 29.

Radiant Historia Review: An RPG Renaissance
Radiant Historia is a steampunk, time-travelling RPG created by Atlus. At least, that's how it's marketed. But deeper than the gearpunk, deeper than travelling through the timelines, there's that traditional Japanese story of environmentalism mixed in with sentiments of loyalty and the general idea of good versus evil. And beyond the depth and immersion of the story is even more: brilliant character development, a challenging and satisfying battle system, a plethora of sidequests, and a gorgeous soundtrack. This is not just a successful game; this is a game that should be used as an example for what a successful RPG is really all about. (more…)

New Releases: Killzone 3, Bulletstorm, De Blob 2, More
Two pairs of heavyweights in their respective genres go head-to-head in this week's new releases.
First up, we have the launch two major first person shooters… Sony's continued fight against the Helghast in Killzone 3 (PS3) versus Epic Games' latest fragfest, Bulletstorm (PC, PS3, Xbox 360). Don't forget, the Xbox 360 version of Bulletstorm comes in an "Epic Edition" that inlcudes a few in-game goodies and access to the Gears of War 3 beta.
The next fight is a little less high profile (and both games come from the same publisher), but in a battle between handheld RPGs… Atlus is bringing Radiant Historia to the DS and also bringing Ys I & II Chronicles to the PSP.
Standing alone is THQ's De Blob 2 (DS, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360), which would probably be a unique title at any time of the year.
The full list of the rest of this week's new releases can be found after the break. (more…)

Bras. These small pieces of fabric are a big deal—for your sides, back, and, of course, boobs.
Did ya hear the one about the Buzzfeed writer who went to six different stores to get fitted—and got six different assessments? No wonder 85 percent of women still wear the wrong bra size!
Find your match:
The first layer has cups for separation (read: no uniboob); the top layer zips up to prevent bounce. Victoria's Secret Knockout Front-Close Sport Bra, from $56, victoriassecret.com
Here, being #sobasic is so necessary—smooth cups won't show through even your thinnest white tee. Wacoal La Femme Underwire T-Shirt Bra, $60, wacoal-america.com
No bows or cheesy frills here. With its plunging neckline, and scalloped edges, it's a modern bombshell. Triumph Iconic Essense Underwire Bra, $88, triumph.com
You get 25 wears out of this sticky bra. Hand-wash, store in its original packaging, and avoid lotion when it's on. Fashion Forms Go Bare Backless Strapless Bra, $36, macys.com
Elastic sides and back allow for a custom fit, with silicone gripper strips to keep it locked in place—up to size DDD. Chantelle Sublime Invisible Strapless Bra, $78, journelle.com
Ordering Online?
As with jeans, not ideal unless you already know how the brand fits. But if you must, here's the 1-2-3.
- Measure under your boobs with a tape measure. That number is your band size.
- Measure the fullest part of your bust.
- Subtract the second number from the first. Each inch in difference equals a larger cup size. (1 inch = A, 2 inches = B, 3 inches = C, and so on)
What Age Is Your Bra?
If it's reached toddler status, it's time to go: Within a year of use, bras stretch and start to lose their support, says Jenny Altman, a style and fit expert. Since sports bras sustain the most bounce, they'll max out at six months if you hit the gym two or three times a week.
Treat It Right
So sayeth the Bra Gods: To extend a bra's life, don't wash or dry it in a machine; it messes with the underwire and padding.
No time to hand-wash? Do it in the shower! (Or at least put your bra in a mesh lingerie bag in the washer.) Then lay flat or hang by the center to dry.
Wash every two or three wears, but don't don the same bra twice in a row—too much stretching.

Register for our free virtual training seminar: NuGet Essentials, on November 29th at 1 p.m. EST.
Rafts are an advanced feature. If you are just getting started with Otter, you should revisit this topic once you've familiarized yourself with the other components.
Plans and Assets are essentially just files, and to make sharing, versioning, branching, etc. possible, Otter uses a raft to store these files. A raft is sort of abstracted file system, specifically designed for Otter plans and assets.
Because you likely won't need multiple rafts right away, a raft named "Default" is automatically created when you install Otter. This is a Database raft and is backed up when you do a regular Back-up of Otter.
If you only have a single raft configured, and that raft is named "Default", then the ability to filter or select rafts will not be exposed in on plan, job, asset, server, etc. pages.
You can create, manage, and download a raft as a zip file by going to Admin > Global Components > Rafts.
When a raft is associated with an Environment, access to contents within the raft will be restricted in two ways:
Both Servers and Server Roles may be associated with a raft. When a raft is specified, the corresponding configuration plan will be persisted within that raft. If no raft is specified, then the "Default" raft (if one is named that) is used.
Because rafts can be modified external to Otter, it's possible to create "orphaned" Configuration Plans that are not associated with a server or server role in Otter. Those are simply ignored, but are still displayed on the configuration plans page.
Rafts rely on an Extensible Raft Provider to retrieve and store raft data. There are three built-in raft types:
Because we already have a lot of Source Control Integrations in BuildMaster, our application release automation product, it's relatively easy for us to develop repositories for other source control managers like TFS, Subversion, etc. Let us know if that's an important feature for your organization, and we can add it to our Roadmap.
And since these are extensible, you can build them yourself. See the Extensions Documentation to learn more.
When stored on disk, in source control, or exported as a zip file, rafts are laid-out as follows.
|Orchestration Plans
|Files (
.otter) within the
/plans subdirectory
|Server Plans
|Files (
.otter) within the
/servers subdirectory
|Server Role Plans
|Files (
.otter) within the
/roles subdirectory
|An OtterScript stored in the
/variables file, consisting entirely of
assign variable statements
|Files (
.sh) within the
/scripts subdirectory
|Files (
.otter) within the
/lib subdirectory
|Files within the
/files subdirectory
Variables persisted within a raft are not currently displayed anywhere in the UI, and are intended to be used for storing default or fallback values for plans stored in a portable/reusable rafts. They are the lowest scope, and are only used if a Configuration Variable of the same name does not exist
Have any feedback on this page, or another page in our product documentation?

Yesterday I discussed the concept of normalization of CTR by position and how this factors into Google's revenue optimization algorithm. Today, let's discuss the "sandbox." The sandbox is basically a holding pen for new advertisers or new ad text. Google does not fully show your ads when you initially launch a campaign, instead testing your performance in small bits until it has statistical significance about you. This is the sandbox.
My theory (again, without any supporting evidence!) is that sandboxing has several elements:
- The average CTR of all ads on a keyword: Thus, if the top position for the keyword "blue widget" has historically gotten a 20% CTR, and your ad has 3 clicks after 10 impressions, Google might be able to quickly determine statistical significance and move you out of the sandbox. An ad, however, with a historical .001% CTR might need thousands of impressions to make the same conclusion.
- The likelihood of new ads beating historical CTR performance: If a popular keyword has thousands of new bidders every week but historical data suggests that almost all new bidders will not be able to create ad copy that outperforms the current bidders, Google requires very strong evidence for you to get out of the sandbox (and the opposite would be true if new ads typically beat existing ads);
- Your historical account performance: If your account has very low CTR throughout, the sandbox penalizes you, and vice versa.
All of this amounts to a risk/return analysis for Google. Google always wants to increase revenue by allowing higher performing ads into the auction, but they want to balance that return with risk mitigation against lower performing ads that reduce the revenue per thousand impressions.
One interesting point about this theory is that it essentially considers two factors totally independent of your actual behavior, and just one factor that is account-specific. In other words, your control over whether you could ever actually show up on a given keyword is largely determined by the historical data Google has amassed before you entered the auction.
This truth, combined with confusion about CTR normalization, has led to the notion that you can – or must – "buy your way into the auction." The notion is that if you bid $50 CPC on a keyword that would cost an existing advertiser $.20, you can push your way into even the most competitive keyword auctions. My sense is that this strategy works for overcoming sandboxing on the most challenging keywords, but has no impact on Google's scoring of your CTR. So if you are stuck in position #40 on a top keyword, Google is basically saying "we don't think any new advertisers can make us more revenue on this keyword, so go away." In such a case, a huge bid gives Google incentive to lower the barriers to entry and give you a shot at competing. Of course, once you lower your bid down to the level of other players, you must still overcome CTR normalization like everyone else!
Any questions?

Hi David,
It is nice to see you blogging again.
I think that every reasonable marketer must agree to your basic premises when stated in this way:
1. Google normalizes CTR according to position
2. Google treats new ads differently than old ones
But, I do not think claims that you can "buy your way in to the auction" should be dismissed as foolish. I have seen (albeit in 2007 / 2008) cases where a newly launched keyword would maintain stable metrics for a few weeks and would then see a simultaneous decrease in CPC and increase in position (i.e., going toward the top of the page). At the time, based on launching several new campaigns, I found it more effective to bid high and first and then gradually go lower than to bid low and try to sneak up.
There is an alternate theory that is consistent with Google's rational motivations that still allows for the concept of buying your way in to the auction: what if Google makes a small deduction when estimating an ad's CTR in higher positions? By doing so, Google would accept a slightly lower expected RPI in exchange for reducing the volatility of the RPI.
For example, you may sit at position 7 with a CTR of 1%. Google's true estimate of your CTR at position 1 may be 5.1%, but Google could choose to use the estimate of 4.5% in the auction calculations.
The current ad at position 1 is a sure thing, barring Humean objections and statistical noise. If it performs at 5% today you can expect it to perform at 5% tomorrow. On the other hand, promoting the ad from position 7 to position 1 is not a sure thing. Google may estimate it to have a CTR of 5.1% at position 1, thus beating the incumbent ad. But the actual CTR at position 1 will vary against the estimate of 5.1%. Rather than promoting the ad from position 7 to position 1 to reach for the extra 0.1% expected benefit, Google may prefer to take a sure thing.
If this is true, the implication for the advertiser is that it's easier to start at the top and cut back than to start at the bottom and sneak up. In the example above, the incumbent at position 1 gets credit for the full 5% CTR, but the ad at position 7 must have an estimated CTR of, say, 5.5% before it would be promoted. So, if you think that the top positions would be economical for your campaign, you would do better to bid high at first, win the position you want, and gradually allow your bid or actual CPC to reduce over time.
So, this theory is consistent with Google's rational business motivations but would still allow some room to game the system by bidding high to "buy your way in to the auction." But, same as your arguments – only speculation and no proof.
Hey David, always good to get a comment from you!
I think I actually agree with you. I was not disputing the notion that you could "buy your way in" – I was disputing the idea that by bidding highly you could both buy your way in *and* artificially inflate your CTR.
For keywords where Google has high statistical significance and a very high RPI, indeed, the only way to show up toward the top of the page would be to bid so far beyond the expected RPI that Google sees value in giving you a shot.
I think your notion that Google may allow testing at slightly below their expected RPI makes sense too, as it is a rational trade off between risk and return.
So I think we agree, I just may not have articulated it well in my post!
David, thanks for the post. I think I agree with both of you – but at the end of the day, I'm not sure it changes the way I approach new keywords or campaigns. I still focus on CPA – I will generally bid up when CPA is lower than target, and bid down when CPA is too high. If a keyword or ad group isn't getting enough click spend to evaluate whether things are working or not, I'll increase bids. If there is no spend or very little spend, and no history of spend or conversion data, then the keyword may as well not even be in the account – I bid those up.
I don't really think I'd try to bid super high on anything unless all my previous bids had the result of zero spend, or not enough data to judge conversion rate and CPA. Thoughts?
Terry, I generally agree with you. I think the issue here is really around getting into an auction that has really high ad rank. In your example, you are suggesting that you would slowly bid up a keyword to try to get some impressions, but ultimately still manage to your CPA objective. I agree with this approach. The key here is that you might have a keyword with 0 impressions in your account but in reality may be able to get you 1000 clicks a day. The only way to know this is to take a bit of a risk and bid high enough to "buy your way in" which may also result in a temporary CPA higher than your goal. But at least you'll know quickly if this keyword is a hidden gem or a dud!

The Co-operative Bank has joined First Direct and Santander in offering cash to switch your current account.
The Co-operative Bank has announced that it will pay £200 to any new or existing customer switching their current account from another bank or building society.
The move by the mutual follows similar deals from First Direct and Santander which both offer cash incentives to switch to them.
How does the switching offer compare?
The Co-operative's offer compares well with the ones from First Direct and Santander.
It beats First Direct hands down by offering double the £100 that First Direct pays.
Santander pays either £100, £200 or £300 depending on whether you have other products with it already. To qualify for the £200 you need to have a mortgage with the bank. Only customers who have a mortgage and savings with the bank get the full £300. The Co-operative Bank's offer, on the other hand, is open to everyone.
Will you qualify for the switching deal?
To qualify you need to credit a minimum of £800 into your new account for the first three months, and you also need to switch all your direct debits and standing orders from your existing provider.
The offer applies to anyone opening a Co-operative Bank Standard Current Account, Current Account Plus, Privilege or Privilege Premier Account and switching from another provider.
Which? Recommended Provider
The Co-operative Bank is a Which? Recommended Provider for current accounts, which means it scores well for customer satisfaction and has at least one top-10 account for either credit interest, overdrafts or current account mortgages.
It comes fourth in our Which? customer satisfaction survey scoring 86%, only beaten by First Direct, Smile (itself part of the The Co-operative banking group), and The One Account.
Santander, by comparison, languishes at the very bottom of the table with a score of just 39% for customer satisfaction.
Melanie Green, banking expert at Which?, said: 'Our research shows that few people switch their current accounts. Offers like this one from the Co-operative Bank will certainly encourage some people to take the plunge.
'But we think that a more radical approach is needed to really get this market moving. Switching must be made easier, ideally through the introduction of portable account numbers.'

Listen carefully to Napoleon Hill and how a mastermind was orchestrated to move America out of the depression in 1933. Key success factor: regardless of affiliation, leaders of media, political parties, churches and more aligned with the single minded purpose of moving the country from depression to prosperity.
Today is 2010. We have foreclosures, unemployment, a huge oil disaster, and more. I advocate the time is now to repeat the example set by Napoleon Hill for a mastermind with a single minded purpose. The single minded purpose is the same as it was in 1933 which is prosperity.
Personally I am right in the front of the line of being opposite of many situation created by our government. I can continue to be opposite or I can chose to focus on what is possible. We can fuel the engine of prosperity in America and the World with rocket fuel. It starts with a single minded purpose to do so. It has now started. The action steps for you begin following the video…watch it. Seriously, it is just over 6 minutes, watch it.

Chapter Titles in Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese
Chapter 5: The Whomping Willow
(For the romanisation of Chinese and Japanese, see Transliteration. To understand the writing systems of CJV, see Writing Systems. For word order notes, see Word Order)
Where a Vietnamese word has been borrowed from Chinese, the original Chinese characters are shown in parentheses.
|Chinese (Mainland)
|打人 dǎ rén = 'hit person'.
柳 liǔ = 'willow'.
|Person-hitting willow
|Chinese (Taiwan)
|渾 hún = 'stupid, unsophisticated'.
拚 pīn = 'go all out, be ready to risk all (in a fight, in work, etc.)'.
柳 liǔ = 'willow'.
|Blindly fighting willow
|暴れ abare- = 'running amok, riotous' (from the verb 暴れる abareru 'behave furiously, run amok'.)
柳 yanagi = 'willow'.
|The violent/rioting willow
|Cây liễu roi
|cây = 'tree'.
liễu (柳) = 'willow'.
roi = 'whip, lash, bamboo cane'.
|The whip willow tree
The English is based on 'Weeping Willow', playfully modified to 'Whomping Willow' (thanks to Randolph Fritz for pointing this out).
The Mainland Chinese version chooses to render the meaning of the name ('person-hitting willow').
The Taiwanese version tries to render the English word 'whomping' phonetically (hún-pīn) while hinting at the English meaning. The name means something like 'willow that struggles stupidly'.
The Japanese is a good attempt to capture the nature of the willow in a natural-sounding expression. In fact, 暴れ柳 abare-yanagi is an echo of the construction しだれ柳 shidare-yanagi ('weeping willow'), being a similar structure with the same number of syllables (Thanks to Ramon Escamilla for pointing this out).
The Vietnamese likens the willow to a bamboo cane or whip.

Vineyard Care Through the Season with Gary Moulton
I just heard on the PSWG email list that Gary Moulton is teaching a series of grape growing class specifically for Western Washington in 2015. Gary is a long time fruit expert in Western Washington and was once in charge of the grape program at WSU Mt. Vernon. There isn't anyone that knows as much about taking care of your vines in the Puget Sound AVA as Gary. Looks like a great series of class timed for the time of year the class is given. Classes are in Bow, WA in the Skagit Valley. They are between $45 and $40.
You can find the class and sign up at the WSU Snohomish County Extension website at: http://ext100.wsu.edu/snohomish/vineyardcare/

Molecular Fingerprinting of Lung Cancer
- Develop statistical and computational methods for modeling the relationships between
multiple variable protein and RNA expression data and clinical endpoints using both
supervised and unsupervised classification and pattern recognition approaches.
- Determine protein and RNA expression fingerprints on completely resected non-small cell
lung cancer without prior chemotherapy.
- Correlate protein and RNA expression fingerprints with T-stage and nodal involvement at
the time of surgery, and collect outcome data to allow correlation with recurrence
(local and/or distant) and survival.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Any excess tissues removed from surgery and would otherwise be discarded (tissues not used
for diagnosis and/or treatment decision making) are obtained for this study. Tissue are
analyzed for molecular features that predict biologic behavior. Quantitation of RNA, gene
expression profiles, and protein expression patterns are assessed by matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectroscopy and microarray analysis.
Medical records are reviewed to obtain information about results of tests associated with
cancer diagnosis. Further progress in cancer treatment and tumor behavior after surgery are
followed via record review.
Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Roth IRA conversions aren't just for older taxpayers in 2010. Suppose your 20-year-old has $25,000 in a traditional IRA. If he or she converts to a Roth this year, the tax may be limited to $3,750 (15% of $25,000), spread out over the next two years.
Assuming a 7% annual return, the account will be worth $374,361 in 40 years, even without any extra contributions. At that point, your son or daughter can pull out all the money tax-free.

Neighbours terrified after man starts shooting rifle out of bedroom window
SCARED neighbours filmed a young man as he shot at people from his apartment window.
The video was taken in the Russian capital city of Moscow in the early hours.
In it a bare-chested man can be seen holding an air-rifle at the open window of his apartment.
He aims and fires then shouts wildly after each shot.
Shortly after, he throws something out of the window and then uses his weapon to break open another window.
The man pictured is reportedly a 27-year-old although he has not been formally identified.
According to local reports he was firing pellets and nobody was hit or hurt during the episode.
Eyewitnesses called the police who arrived at his apartment and broke down the door when he would not open it.
Inside they discovered 19 packets of cannabis, an air rifle and an air gun.
They found the man covered in blood sitting by his window.
The man told the police during questioning that "an unknown object broke the window" so he ran and cut himself on the broken glass, "then started shooting with the air rifle out of the window".
He has been charged with possession of illegal drugs, but is currently not detained while police investigate the circumstances.

For Ballet San Jose's Wes Chapman, "Don Quixote" isn't just one of the most welcoming and beloved ballets in the classical canon. Marius Petipa and Alexander Gorsky's delightful Spanish idyll is an old friend with whom he's traveled far and wide.
Beyond Chapman's personal ties, "Don Quixote" is a rare canonical work that has eluded BSJ, making it ripe for interpretation. This weekend the company tackles the Russian classic for the first time in the season's only full-length production.
"When I joined Ballet San Jose last year and really looked at its repertory, I saw that they've done almost everything and then some, but 'Quixote' was one of the big pieces missing," Chapman, the company's artistic adviser, says. "Along with 'Coppélia' it's one of the two great comedy classics, and it's such an accessible ballet.
"Even if you haven't seen it, most people are familiar with what 'Don Quixote' is about."
Chapman was still a teenager when he was cast in his first "Don Quixote," dancing Basilio at American Ballet Theatre with Leslie Browne under Mikhail Baryshnikov's direction. He went on to partner with Amanda McKerrow and Cynthia Harvey. When Baryshnikov left ABT, Chapman got a whole new look at the ballet when the company acquired the Bolshoi's famed production.
"That was a new learning experience," Chapman says, noting that famed Bolshoi dancer and choreographer Vladimir Vasiliev didn't speak any English, "so it was a very challenging rehearsal period. He demonstrated a lot, and I was in heaven learning from somebody like him. After learning from Vasiliev and Baryshnikov, those great Basilios shaped my idea of how to approach the ballet."
During Chapman's 11-year run as director of the Alabama Ballet, he staged "Don Quixote" twice, tailoring his own interpretation by drawing on the elements he liked from an international array of productions. Chapman makes it clear that the version he's staging at Ballet San Jose is cut from the Petipa/Gorsky cloth.
"It's still 'Don Quixote,' he says. "I made cuts and additions that made it uniquely ours. This is the third time I've staged it, and I made it really fit."
The production is notable on several fronts. For star power, the ballet scored a coup with the recent addition of the powerful Cuban dancer José Manuel Carreño. Playing Basilio, the former ABT principal dancer partners Ballet San Jose principal dancer Alexsandra Meijer as Kitri on Friday's opening night performance and Sunday's closing matinee.
While the ballet's enduring popularity has kept it in constant circulation since the 1869 Bolshoi premiere (Petipa greatly expanded it in 1871 for a new Imperial Ballet production), Minkus' ingratiating music hasn't fared as well. Where definitive scores of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker" are readily available and universally employed, the score for "Don Quixote" has been treated with less than reverence, pervasively amended, reorchestrated and expanded with interpolations by other composers.
For the BSJ production, Symphony Silicon Valley has gone back to the source. BSJ music director and conductor George Daugherty reached out to English National Ballet librarian Lars Payne, who painstakingly reconstructed Minkus' original score from the original Bolshoi Moscow and Imperial Ballet St. Petersburg productions.
"Minkus himself got in on the act, changing his stuff," Daugherty says. "But over the decades, the ballet changed greatly. People wrote new orchestrations, and then other people rearranged those orchestrations without going back to Minkus' music. It became a crazy circus of contributors."
Despite Minkus' relatively low status as a composer who worked exclusively in ballet — Slonimsky sniffed that his music's "cursive melodies and bland rhythmic formulas suit old-fashioned Russian choreography to their airiest entrechat" — he is responsible for some of the most widely embraced melodies associated with ballet.
Daugherty, who's conducted at least a dozen different "Don Quixote" orchestrations over the years, worked with Payne to come up with a score that's "as original Minkus as you can possibly get. He was an incredibly talented composer, with beautiful melodies and rich harmonies. The Spanish flavor is so evident."
The enchanting score, clattering castanets and overall atmosphere of whimsy are why "Don Quixote" is second only to "The Nutcracker" as a traditional gateway to a love of ballet. Ballet San Jose is reaching out to young audiences with programming for children before the Saturday matinee, including arts and crafts activities, story time with a ballerina and an introductory ballet class.
"Don Quixote" isn't completely new to BSJ. At the inaugural gala last November, the program included Chapman's staging of the grand pas de deux from the wedding scene, one of ballet's most frequently excerpted pieces (Chapman's future ABT partner Leslie Browne performed it in the 1977 film "The Turning Point," a role for which she earned a best supporting actress Academy Award nomination).
"But there's so much more to this ballet than just that pas de deux," says Daugherty. "It's an absolutely beautiful ballet, and audiences are always delighted to discover the fantastic colors Minkus was able to deliver."

UK Music Venues Prohibit Selfie Sticks
A handful of Britain's largest music venues no longer allow attendees to bring selfie sticks through their doors. Selfie sticks are monopods, or long sticks at the end of which a phone or camera is fastened to allow its user a wider range of vantage points. UK venues and promoters have cited "safety considerations" among other reasons for the banning of the devices.
The Academy Music Group, a company that owns dozens of venues throughout the country, told NME: "Selfie Sticks are not permitted at Academy Music Group venues. This is in keeping with our existing policy that prohibits the filming and photography during a performance with iPads and other tablet devices and includes any such obstructions for the satisfaction of other customers."
The crackdown follows a similar one in several South Korean venues, where authorities cited absurde health effects, as well as the malfunctioning of nearby electronics by the use of bluetooth devices.

Even though I've had a WB stove for the past 20 years doesn't mean I knew how to control it. From this site I've learned so much from all you guys, for instance; how to manage a burn cycle, and in my case this is very important to me since my stove is being pushed during cold months keeping the gas bill to an absolute minimum. And I think that's the name of the game right there. Thanks to Hearth.com I've found a great vendor to purchase my chimney liner and all that it intails (thanks Dennis and Eric). I've learned what helps to control a burn cycle also how to burn down coals, understand thermometer readings and stove adjustments needed through out the burn cycle, I mean there are so many valuable tips that I just can't list them all, besides there are always more new ideas with each season that passes. Some of you guys make great suggestions regarding what works for them such as a deep fryer ladle for sifting ashes from coals, I think this is a great idea, also the gizmo brush kit that attaches to your drill as to keep guys like me from attempting a roof top chim sweep job down from below instead. I mean the list goes on... So Hearth.com and all who make it what it is today.

Ferrari announced their latest supercar (even though it sounds extremely silly) and every petrolhead is celebrating this auspicious day. The Ferrari 812 Superfast is the most powerful and fastest car they have produced in the brand's history.
© Ferrari
Under the hood, the car has a 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 789 horsepower and 530 pound-feet of torque. The engine used in the 'Superfast' is the most powerful V12 produced to date. The engine's power is underscored by a full, rich exhaust sound that exploits the acoustic clout delivered by its increased displacement. Maximum torque is 718 Nm @ 7,000 rpm, a significant 80% of which is already available at 3,500 rpm, improving both driveability and pick-up even at low revs.
The 812 is also the first car by the company that has electric power steering on board and the automaker promises that it won't castrate the steering feel that Ferrari is known for. The car also has Ferrari's signature stability control system and a revised rear-wheel-steering setup. This essentially enables the car to pivot the rear axle and in turn improve the car's low-speed maneuverability and speed handling.
© Ferrari
The interior of the new 812 is also beautiful much like every other Ferrari out there. The tachometer gets the central focus since it sits front and centre. It has two screens, which can be configured as per your liking. The steering wheel is brand new with Ferrari specific features such as the 'manettino' mode and turn signal buttons.

© Ferrari
The 812 Supercar will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this March and if you want one for yourself, you better hurry, as this car will be one of the most exclusive cars made by Ferrari till date.

We've all been on the road in bad weather and know the tension driving in the rain can bring. The rhythmic thump-thud of the wipers and the feeling of the wet road under your tires. The sensation that, if you're not careful, you might lose the control you're so used to having over your machine.
The next time you see storm clouds on the horizon, though, remember these simple tips for driving in the rain. They'll help you get where you're going safely.
1. Stay In The Center Lane
If you're driving in the rain, stay toward the center as often as you can. Roads are designed so there's a very slight incline that makes water wash toward the sides. By driving in the centermost lane, you can make sure you're driving on the highest part of the road, where you don't have to worry as much about standing water.
If you come across standing water in the roadway, keep in mind that it only takes around 5 to 6 inches of water to reach the bottom of most passenger vehicles. You probably won't be able to go out and physically measure the depth of the water, so the safer bet is to find an alternate route rather than risk becoming stranded in your vehicle.
2. Check Your Tires
Tires that are going bald are a hazard when it comes to driving on wet roads. If you know your tires are getting low on tread, consider replacing them. RepairPal has a helpful tire buying guide that could save you both money and time when choosing the right tires for your vehicle.
Additionally, check your wiper blades. If they're getting old and ragged, it's time to put on a new set so you can see where you're going when the rain starts falling. Wiper blades should be replaced yearly and if you're unsure about how to replace them, check out our Facebook live video below.
3. Go Slow
While it may be the most basic tenet of driving in bad weather, we all forget sometimes. A rainy day, in particular, is not the time to give your car the gas. Be cautious, and drive slow. Make sure you have plenty of time and space to react to the traffic in front of you. Leave early for your appointments to be sure you aren't in a time crunch.
These are just a few of the more basic things you can do to stay safe when you have to hit the road in the rain.
RepairPal is working to fix an industry not known for trust and assurance and arm consumers with individual knowledge when it comes to getting their cars repaired.
We want to make the auto repair process less stressful and much more trustworthy. Our website features our Fair Price Estimator, eliminating that impending "am I being ripped-off?" feeling, while also providing matches to Certified shops, guaranteed to do the work at that fair price with quality parts and a trained, awesome staff.

Hopefully you get a chance to be a little more active on the board. I am feeling like labor isn't too far off for me as well. I have been having a lot of cramping. I am dialated to 1cm and 50% effaced. Hopefully I will have made a little more progress by next week's appt.
Good to hear from you!!
Thank you so much for your kind response. I hope I can be more active too. I feel like I have missed so much though even though I read here every day! I can't believe you're already progressing!! How exciting! I hope everything goes smoothly for you at your next appointment. It sounds like you are coming to the end of the road

I can almost say for certain that there is someone in your life that is abrasive, irritating, competitive, judgemental, controlling, annoying or just plain mean. Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about. You cringe at the thought of just being in their presence.
It might be a colleague, a family member, the parent of a student at your child's school, maybe someone at the gym or all of the above. Wherever you are, inevitably there they are.
No matter how hard you try to avoid them, you round the corner and THERE THEY ARE! Alarms are going off inside your head! You try desperately to contain your panic, but it's hard when you instinctively want to turn and run! Instead, you awkwardly manage to expel a series of words that don't quite sound the same way you thought they would in your head. You feel like a babbling idiot and by the expression on their face they are in agreement.
A sad truth in all of this, is that it isn't just the colleague, the family member, the parent of a student at your child's school or even the person at the gym. It's us… Christian women at church on Sunday morning, at our bible study, in our small group, even at our children's youth group functions.
Why is this? One reason… Satan! He wants nothing more than for us to focus on his deception and by this creating a division within us; distracting us from the opportunity to see the beauty of Christ in others and in ourselves. Whether we are the cause or the effect of the irritation we focus on the negative in either scenario. We fail to understand the purpose of the irritation and discomfort. If somehow we could just learn to respond in grace, truth, love and total acceptance of one another we would find peace.
As I ponder this, I am reminded of one of God's amazing creatures the oyster, and the beautiful pearl that He designed for it to create. By definition, pearls form out of the oyster's natural reaction to protect itself from the irritant. As the sand or parasite works it's way into the oyster, it's defense is to coat the irritant with a substance called nacre (the brilliant substance that gives pearls their beauty, luster, strength and resilience). This nacre is deposited layer upon layer as a protective barrier until a lustrous pearl is formed.
It is only in Jesus that we will find this natural beauty within us.
It cannot be cultured or imitated. The process takes time but understanding the value of what it will produce helps us to look to Jesus. Remember that:
In all things the greatest of these is love.
What Satan intends for evil, God intends for good… and it is miraculously happening at the same time. Hold tight to this, believe it and trust in Him.
We have the choice to respond in defense and avoidance of the irritation of others or embrace and accept the opportunity to see the beautiful pearl that can only be produced when we allow the Holy Spirit to be our protective barrier that not only coats and protects us but transforms our irritation into a strong, brilliantly beautiful pearl that is genuine and unique.Complete with the capacity to respond in grace, truth and love; and gives us the ability to find
the peace and acceptance that each of us so badly longs for.

A Happy person only can makes others happy, the charm on his face , the aura that he creates , the positive vibes that he spread , automatically attracts people towards him., for this, only his presence is enough.. this is because as we grow , we start becoming independent , but on real and important issues of life, we start depending on others .
Happiness is one of such issues.
Happiness is our own prime responsibility, its not the responsibility of people around us.
I truly agree that there are people whose actions affect our behavior, such situations are unavoidable, but controllable , let time takes the charge , and leave the situation for awhile, meanwhile regain your positive energies , by small things like by appreciating nature , watching birds flying high in the sky, by feeling mild breeze, by glazing
greenery , or even if this is not possible then by simply watching people come and go on roads. And get happy again , resolve the situation , show your concern to your loved one , show them that you love them, and people will come to you to get happy, as happiness is the only thing for which people run after.

West Ham v Middlesbrough - Saturday 15:00
West Ham are a shambles at the moment and have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine matches, and there is a worrying parallel to be drawn with the plight of Stoke. Like Mark Hughes, Slaven Bilic took over from a more defensive minded coach and added some style to their play, fashioning a more attacking outfit. However, for all the plaudits both managers initially received for their success, it has come at the cost of defensive stability. Payet and Lanzini are key creative players for the Hammers but don't do much defensive work and as a result the team has become disjointed, leaving far too much space between the lines for their opponents to exploit.
At left-back Bilic has a difficult decision to make. With both Cresswell and Masuaku out injured, the experienced but ageing Alvaro Arbeloa deputized against Southampton. The speedy Adama Traore impressed for Boro in a half hour cameo from the bench at home to Spurs and his direct running could cause all sorts of havoc against the Spaniard, even if his end product remains erratic. West Ham's problems though are not just restricted to the back, with Simone Zaza virtually anonymous so far as he adjusts to English football. They didn't force a single save out of Fraser Forster against Southampton and Bilic could desperately do with the return of either Andy Carroll or Diafra Sakho to supplement his forward line.
Middlesbrough were uncharacteristically poor during the first half against Spurs, the defending in particular, and they struggled to string passes together. They put in a combative performance during the second half, pulling a goal back, but it was a case of too little too late as Spurs have an excellent defensive record. With West Ham on the slide though, we think the value lies in Middlesbrough to win and both teams to score at 6.8.

Leading up to 97.3 Alice's Summerthing, CBS RADIO featured Kendall-Jackson in a series of :30s promoting the highly anticipated event.
Listen to the spots below
Alice's Summerthing fans lined up to spin a ten-foot tall bottle of Kendall-Jackson wine. The game-show-style wheel offered chances to win VIP backstage passes and other Alice and KJ prizes. Kendall-Jackson also served up great wine on-site as the exclusive wine concessionaire and
VIP pourer.
Digital & Social
As a premier event sponsor,
Kendall-Jackson received a fixed logo placement on the 97.3 Alice's Summerthing event page. In a weekly e-blast to 65,000 opt-in Bay Area subscribers, readers were encouraged to stop by Kendall-Jackson's booth at the event and play spin the bottle.
Kendall-Jackson spin the bottle players and winners alike took the conversation to social media platforms, sharing pictures of the fun with friends.
Making Headlines
Kendall-Jackson's Vice President of Marketing told MediaPost: "One of the things that excited us about the spin-the-bottle idea is that it is culturally relevant across multiple generations. […} This activation is a way for us to connect with younger wine consumers, but still be relevant to long-standing fans that have been familiar with the brand for many years."

While I feel that Thaddeus Wawro had a great selection of creators in Radicals & Visionaries: Entrepreneurs Who Revolutionized the 20th Century– and I know he couldn't include everyone – I wonder how he actually selected the people to include in his book. Steve Jobs (Apple Computers), Michael Dell (Dell Computers), and William Hewlett and David Packard (Hewlett Packard) are just a few of the computer gurus highlighted in this read. Dr. Mark Dean was not mentioned at all.
For those of you unfamiliar with Dr. Dean, the Famous Black Inventors website noted, "Dr. Mark Dean started working at IBM in 1980 and was instrumental in the invention of the Personal Computer (PC). He holds three of IBM's original nine PC patents and currently holds more than 20 total patents." So, I guess it's a little odd to share the accomplishments of people who used the PC to get rich when there was absolutely no mention of the creator who made it possible for them to start on their entrepreneurial journeys. Maybe Wawro didn't know like so many of us who would still be in the dark if someone hadn't presented the information to me.
Was I the only person unfamiliar with this techno genius?

January 13th, 2006, 04:01 PM #1Microsoft To Google : It's On!
Microsoft is planning to release an assault on the search advertising industry this coming June, according to the Associated Press. Pulling from the Chinese research leg of the company, the Beast of Redmond aims to add highly targeted and contextual next-generation search marketing technology to its weapons cache to continue its bout against the new nemesis found in Google.
Yesterday, Microsoft unveiled its adCenter Incubation Lab, shortened to adLab for the time constrained, a joint-effort between MSN's adCenter and Microsoft Research that has given way to a state-of-the-art laboratory in Beijing. adLab has "a mission to research and incubate advanced technologies for MSN adCenter, designed to provide advertisers with rich targeting capabilities based on audience intelligence information and give consumers a more relevant online experience."
That relevant online experience includes advertising across several platforms from blogs to search to video all aimed at targeting a precise audience. Microsoft demonstrated some of these technologies at their recent adCenter Demo Fest.
" These prototypes hold the promise to change online advertising dramatically in areas such as paid search, behavioral targeting and contextual advertising. Also shown were projects addressing areas of incubation in their earliest stages of investigation, such as ad bar-code readers, social network mining, and video and large-display ads," said Microsoft in a statement.
You can more here.
January 13th, 2006, 04:30 PM #2
Sounds like adCenter is getting ahead of itself, they can't even dedupe an uploaded keyword list yet.
And the folks that make MS Word can't make a little tool that tracks your character count as you build an ad meeting their 35 line 1 / 70 line 2 & 3 reqs - instead, dialog box opens and says too many - not helpful. How hard would it be to put a little char count indicator as you type so you can focus on being creative and not counting chars...
And they might try this little test... Company executive asks the Marketing Manager "how much did we spend yesterday on our 5 campaigns in the search engines and how many people visited as a result of each?" Now go time how long this takes to view at Google AdWords vs MSN adCenter Beta... (google and msn have plenty of reporting, but adwords gives you snapshots of spend / traffic as you navigate through your account - integrated reporting is part of it's design - which allows you to constantly see data in your face to make decisions about bids, cost, traffic, trends, etc. You can go to reports to run advanced needs reports in both, but in MSN, snapshot info just isn't there like it is in AdWords console).

Someone needs to be third place. I don't see much changing in natural search and paid search. Google is the biggest in natural search and as far as paid search, it's the best. Yahoo/Overture take second and MSN falls in line at third.
January 13th, 2006, 05:27 PM #4Originally Posted by TrustNo1
If they make it top priority, I think they have a great chance of becoming #2, and have a possibility of ousting G at #1.
If they're content with #3, or decide to be a cheapskate with funding the MSN division, then #3 is where they'll stay, provided that the others don't nuke themselves somehow...There is no knowledge that is not power. ~Hemingway

MS might be aiming to be first in China Market before releasing to the rest of the world.

Unless they can turn it around, I see Yahoo falling to #3.

Let me recommend to all my fellow access developers this control on Download.com:
It has made development so much easier, where I can update, add new, delete, search, refresh etc... by just dropping the control on the form and binding the text boxes or other controls. No other code is needed at all. Let me know what you think?

2017 seems like it'll be a pretty big deal for Danzig. For starters, Danzig just announced he will be releasing its first new completely original full-length sometime this May, which is just about seven years out from Danzig's last album, 2010's Deth Red Sabaoth.
This year also marks 25 years since the Danzig III: How The Gods Kill album, an occasion Danzig plans on commemorating with a handful of shows. The shows won't be the entire album in full, but they'll feature quite a few songs from the album.
Oh, and to top that all off, Danzig (and Ministry) will be playing the Blackest Of The Black Festival in California! That festival takes place at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, CA on both May 26 and 27.

About Us
The Maine Fishermen's Forum hosts fishermen, gear suppliers, scientists, government and other stakeholders to collaborate on all things fishing: markets, resource status, regulations, the latest in technology, the environment and more. If it's of interest to the fishing industry, chances are you'll find it here.
The Forum
Each year the Forum provides three days of free seminars for fishermen covering a wide range of topics such as the health of the lobster resource, commercial fishing safety, upcoming regulatory actions, and much more. It's the social event of the year for Maine's fishing community with lots of informal socialzing and networking opportunities and an organized event each night including the seafood reception, Friday night Fish dinner, and a not to be missed banquet and dance on Saturday night. Day trippers are welcome but there are a host of lodging options both on and off the resort. We are a family-focused event with a full suite of children's events.
The Scholarship Fund
On Friday night, we hold an exciting live auction of a wide variety of items, all generously donated by friends of the Forum. All auction proceeds, including those from our Thursday night silent auction, are returned to the community as scholarship funds for college-bound children of Maine fishing families. To date, the auction has raised $358,246 for educational scholarships. A ongoing bucket raffle also raises more funds for the kids and provides the winner the chance to go home with some great prizes.
The Trade Show
Over 120 suppliers of commercial fishing equipment and services exhibit at the Forum each year. Whatever your needs are right now – traps, engines, electronics, insurance or financial services – you'll find it here and often at Forum-only discounted prices. Check out this year's trade show and exhibitors list.

Scalia? Obama? The Senate? What…?
WHY IS THIS SUCH A BIG DEAL? You may be asking–particularly if you've been paying any attention to the news recently. And to be honest, I've been asking this question, too. For those who don't know and also CARE ABOUT AMERICA (jk), read this.
Soo… let's start from the beginning. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court in the country. It has ultimate jurisdiction over every other court and is the final interpreter of federal constitutional law. The Court usually consists of the U.S. Chief Justice and 8 other justices who are all nominated by the President and approved by the Senate. Normally, the justices are often classified as liberal, conservative, or moderate approaches toward interpreting the law.
Antonin Scalia was a conservative Associate Justice in the Supreme Court and was known for being a great one. After his death on February 13, however, an unexpected political problem arose regarding who would take his place. Scalia's presence was one of the most forceful conservative voices on the Supreme Court in the past 30 years, and when President Obama announced that he would fulfill his constitutional duty to nominate a replacement, many Republican leaders made clear that a justice should only be confirmed after the next president takes office. One member of the conservative majority Senate, Mitch McConnel, confirmed in a statement, "This vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President." As the debate surrounding what should happen intensified, many presidential candidates chimed in.
In the recent New Hampshire forum, Hillary Clinton said, "We have to preserve marriage equality. We have to go further to end discrimination against the LGBT community, we've got to make sure to preserve Roe v. Wade (abortion rights), not let it be nibbled away or repealed. It's one of the many reasons why we can't turn the White House over to Republicans."
In a recent interview, Cruz chimed in, "We are one liberal justice away from a five-justice liberal majority, the likes of which this country has never seen," later warning voters that if we get this election wrong, our "constitutional rights will be lost forever."
Both sides agree, however, that whoever gets the seat will strongly shape the decisions of the Court in the future. So, now, with the Senate highly unlikely to confirm any candidate Obama nominates this year, what happens?
Well since the Court is made up of 8 justices rather than 9, there may be an equal split in opinion when it comes to voting–in which case, the lower court that was being appealed can make the decision. But in general, there are a wide range of decisions that the Supreme Court could make if they end up in that situation.
Let's just hope that in the end, whoever takes Scalia's place is just as awesome, respected, and good at doing what they do.

PLM to help Moods of Norway improve efficiency
25 February 2016 | News | Source: Katie Smith
Scandinavian fashion brand Moods of Norway has implemented Gerber Technology's YuniquePLM V6 web-based software to increase efficiency and productivity across the business.
The company, which owns 18 stores in Norway, the US and Sweden, said the platform will help it to manage its design and development process. YuniquePLM V6 is expected to increase Moods of Norway's efficiency, productivity and speed to market from improved collaboration and greater access to data in a single location.
"With YuniquePLM V6, we are able to have an individual perspective on products from the 'get go,' allowing designers and buyers to monitor and focus on the progress of various products without the use of multiple systems, data files and complexity," said Thomas Frodal, head of product at Moods of Norway.
The move comes three months after Moods of Norway revealed it will track its apparel from source to store using radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags.

Brian McKenzie10/08/2016Moto Lust - I cannot resist the Orange & Black
1994 XL883 Cafe in serious modified stance. An aggressive Stage 1 Intake and Exhaust giving a 10% boost. In my opinion, it still needs the Zippers 1250 cc upgrade ~ but at 6,999 there is enough left in the wallet for that mod. The long stretched tank is vintage 70's cafe GP racer, as is the shelled solo seat. New updates are the wider front forks, rear set controls, larger brakes and progressive shocks. The alloy wheels are older Buell units - great for light weight, but need a more aggressive tread to the tires. The rider cockpit is framed in low clip-on bars and faced with a large speedo / tach combo. Of course, without saying - the striking character to this ride is the twisted high side pipes reminiscent of the dirt flat trackers of the 70's era.
Great for the short commute, the weekend club hopping and definitely the classic road runs. It is available at my old shop Destination Harley Davidson in Tacoma Washington; if you pick it up - say hello to Ed Sr. for me.
