* HSI +0.6 pct, H-shares +1 pct; CSI300 +0.2 pct
* Material sectors rally ahead of China April data dump
* Macau casinos lifted by SJM's positive Q1 earnings
* GOME jumps after rare profit alert
By Clement Tan and Yimou Lee
HONG KONG, May 7 (Reuters) - Hong Kong and China shares lingered at multi-week highs in choppy trade on Tuesday as investors brace for a slew of April Chinese data that could offer clues on the recovery in the world's second-largest economy.
But index gains came in weak bourse turnover, with several earnings-related announcements driving the more significant moves in the Macau casino and the Chinese consumer sectors on the day.
The Hang Seng Index ended up 0.6 percent at 23,047.1 points, stymied by chart resistance at the March 11 closing high at about 23,090.8. The China Enterprises Index of the top Chinese listings in Hong Kong climbed 1 percent.
"The 23,000 level is pretty strong resistance on the Hang Seng Index, so investors are taking some profits on the outperformers for now," said Larry Jiang, chief investment strategist at Guotai Junan International Securities.
The Shanghai Composite Index and CSI300 of the leading Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listings each inched up 0.2 percent, staying at their respective highest in about two weeks.
Shanghai volume slipped for the first time in four sessions, but stayed just above its average in the last month. Hong Kong turnover equalled its 20-day moving average for the first time in more than a week.
Fresh impetus could come from a slew of April China data, starting with trade on Wednesday and inflation on Thursday, with money supply and loan growth expected from Friday.
On Tuesday, Chinese financials were broadly weaker after a recent strong run. CITIC Securities , China's largest listed brokerage, fell 3 percent from its highest in almost two months in Hong Kong.
But some growth-sensitive counters which have been battered recently saw the bigger percentage gains. Aluminum Corporation of China (Chalco) jumped 5.2 percent in its best day since Jan. 10, the height of the beta rally at the start of the year.
The H-share listing of Chalco, whose earnings visibility remains unclear given excess overcapacity and slowing demand, is still down 15 percent this year, compared to the 2.8 percent decline on the China Enterprises Index.
Earnings-related announcements drove some of the other more significant moves on the day in a sign that earnings recovery will be patchy and remain heavily company-specific.
Shares of Yue Yuen Industrial suffered their worst daily loss in more than four years, tumbling 12 percent to their lowest since last September after the sports shoe maker warned of a downturn in its first-quarter earnings due to rising costs and lower operating efficiency.
On the other hand, a rare profit alert lifted the shares of GOME Electrical Appliances, China's second-largest home appliance retail chain operator, up 4.9 percent to six-week highs.
SJM Holdings climbed 3 percent after the Macau casino operator posted a 12 percent year-on-year increase in first-quarter net profit late on Monday, spurring gains for much of its Macau rivals.
A total of 67 percent of all China-listed companies that have reported first quarter earnings have missed expectations with the materials and informational technology sectors accounting for the most disappointments, according to Thomson Reuters StarMine.
Previous upgrades in earnings expectations were led by the banking and utilities sectors, but with further upside seen limited for those sectors, any further upgrade optimism could be misplaced, said Goldman Sachs strategists in a note dated May 5.

Halloween and cold weather clothing purchases have helped UK retail purchases surge to 1.9 per cent month on month in October, compared to 0.1 per cent month-on-month in September and 0.2 per cent in August.
Expectations for today's figure had been 0.5 per cent for the month and 5.3 per cent for the year.
Year-on-year sales to October are now up 7.4 per cent, the best growth rate since April 2002.
Buoyant consumer spending has been boosting the UK economy since its vote to leave the European Union in June with third quarter GDP reaching 0.5 per cent, higher than predicted in the event of a Brexit vote.
IHS Markit chief economist for UK and Europe Howard Archer says consumers are benefiting from decent purchasing power and high employment.
Earnings growth in the three months to September was 2.3 per cent compared to inflation of 1 per cent.
However, Archer suggests sterling depreciation is still yet to be fully felt, despite high profile cases of Marmite upping its prices and Toblerone reducing the size of its chocolate bars.
"Companies look highly likely to clamp down on workers' pay as they strive to save costs in a more difficult environment and as their input prices are lifted by the sharply weakened pound."
Archer reckons consumers could bring forward big-ticket purchases before sterling depreciation takes its toll on prices.
Within today's figures, clothing and footwear rose 5.1 per cent in October and were up 3.7 per cent year-on-year.
Halloween-related sales were also reported to be strong, while jewellery and watches are thought to have been supported by high demand from international visitors making the most of the cheap pound.

It is machine quilted even though I now wished I would have gone the hand quilted way. Quilting such a big piece on a home machine, even with a walking foot, is pretty hard. I made a little tag on the back out of remenant linen I had lying around. Here are the pictures:

Nocturne Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Nocturne has recently been released and is quite a fun champion to play. This build describes how I play Nocturne and not necessarely the "best" way to play him, but hope this helps. I seem to good with this build.
-Can dish out heavy phsyical damage very quickly
-He can hop around in a team fight and target champions easily
-Great damage
-Great chaser
-Great attack speed
-Great farmer due to
-Succeptable to CC
-Once his spells are on cooldown he can't escape
-Somewhat squishy
This is Nocturnes's passive ability. Every 10 seconds he hits with an AoE spin that heals himself for each unit hit. And every auto attack Nocturne makes will decrease this cooldown by 1 second. This is why this works great with a high attack speed. You will be able to be hitting multiple enemies very rapidly and be healing yourself as well. And with the added starks fervor lifesteal you will be healing very rapidly.
This is Nocturne's Q ability. It is a skill shot in which Nocturne throws a shadow blade. This shadow blade leaves a dusk trail and if Nocturne stays in the dusk trail his movement speed is increased. If you hit an enemy with this spell the enemy champion leaves a dusk trail behind them which is why nocturne is a great chaser. This spell can also be used as an escape tool if you need that little boost to get away.
Cooldown: 10 seconds.
Range: 1200.
Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana.
Physical Damage: 60 / 110 / 160 / 210 / 260 (+0.75 per bonus attack damage).
Movement Speed Bonus: 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 %.
This is Nocturne's W ability. This provides a passive and activate ability. The passive gives him increased attack speed as this it levels up. It is like Kog Maw's Caustic Spittle ability. The activate part of the skill is where Nocturne gains a spell blocking shield for 2 seconds. If Nocturne is hit by a skill in these 2 seconds he blocks the spell and gains double attack speed of his passive. This is an amazing ability against heavy nukers and any CC like: Great way to block (his ult). Great way to block (his ultimate).
Cost: 50 mana.
Cooldown: 20 / 18 / 16 / 14 / 12 seconds.
Passive Attack Speed Bonus: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 %.
This is Nocturne's E ability. This is a skill that you cast on an enemy champion and chains them to you dealing damage over time. If the enemy champion stays in range of the skill the enemy champion is feared. It is almost like LeBlanc's Ehteral Chains Ehteral Chains. This is a great spell in a 1v1 situation or to cast on a running away champion. It can also be used in a teamfight to fear the carry and you can use it for running away if you wanted to.
Range: 500.
Cost: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana.
Cooldown: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 seconds.
Total Magic Damage: 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 (+1.0 per ability power).
Fear Duration: 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 second(s).
This is Nocturne's R ability (ultimate). He reduces the sight range of all enemy champions and removes their ally vision as well. After he casts this he can dash to an enemy champion dealing a pretty heavy amount of damage. I love using this spell as a ganking tool and a teamfighting tool. It is very good to use when you are sitting in a bush and dash out and are right next to the enemy champion. In teamfighting when the tank comes in first to initiate and blocks me from reaching the squishy I can then use this spell to hop right on the squishy. And also since the tank most likely can't see the squishy it will be hard for the tank to protect hiim/her.
Cost: 100 mana.
Range: 2000.
Cooldown: 160 / 130 / 100 seconds.
Physical Damage: 150 / 300 / 450 (+1.2 per bonus attack damage).
Range: 2500 / 3250 / 4000 .
My usual spell combo is R + W + E + Q. The ult first to initiate and then the W to block a spell, the E to fear them, and the Q to gain movement speed. Once your through the rotation the champion should be dead :D.
Greater Mark Of Desolation
I chose these because it gives you great armor penetration which helps all throughout the game. I would not suggest because you will have enough attack speed coming from Greater Seal Of Alazrity and .
I chose these because they give you a decent amount of attack speed and at higher levels you will have 2.0 attack speed with the added attack speed from and .
I chose these for basically the same reason as above. They give you that little boost of attack speed that will help you a lot.
Greater Quintessence Of Desolation
These are great. They give you added armor penetration on top of Greater Mark Of Desolation. It helps greatly late game against anyone in general but just helps with tanks as well that are stacking armor.
These are optional. I suggest Greater Quintessence Of Desolation instead but if you want a little bit extra of attack speed you can use these. Whatever floats your boat.
Summoner Spells
I love this spell on Nocturne. It helps in a 1v1 against someone like . It also can be used in a teamfight sufficiently. You hop on to the carry and exhaust them so they are blinded and then you hammer on them. It also can be used as a great chasing spell. Cast it on a champion running to slow them and VOILA!
I chose this because it has so many uses. One uses is for running. Use it when you don't think you can escape using your spells only and you can hop over walls and escape much easier. You might not know but it can be for offensive as well. If you can't catch up to an enemy ex. they have boots before you, they use then you can use this to flash to them and get that last hit. It also can help greatly with tower diving. You use and hop onto the enemy champion by their tower. After you kill them you are low health and you can flash away.
This could be used instead of . It is great against disablers and blinders and such. It will help you defensively. If you are running away and you get disabled then you can use this to help in getting away.
I would not suggest this. Let someone like take this or anyone else.
You could use this if you wanted. I don't think it is necessary because you will be moving very quickly with the And your .
This is for noobs or . I would let new comers take this. I only take this on Teemo just because :P.
I would not use this at all. Newbs should take this. I don't like it all because the cooldown is so long and the speed boost isn't very long.
This should be used for jungling Nocturnes. Otherwise please don't take this.
You could use this but I would not suggest this. You already have a teleport .
This is only for tanks in my opnion. Let someone like or .
Nocturne is not an AP hero. Let someone like take this.
You could use this. I don't mind this. I would only use it if you are unsure if you can finish off a hero.
This should be used by supports like . Or it could be taken by long range skill shot champions like or .
This is a great early game item. Its nice for the early game health boost and damage. It also provides a little bit of lifesteal which is ver small but in essence it helps you regen faster on top of . Not much else needs to be said.
I love these boots for DPS. It gives you enhanced movement speed +2 and gives you an attack speed bonus which is really nice. These boots in general I think are the best for Nocturne.
I like to get this befor youmuu's just for that little bit of extra lifesteal to stack onto and .
I like to get this because of its active and it is very nice to rush. It is amazing and has tons of killing power. It is amazing for ganks and that is why I like it.
I love this item on Nocturne. In my opnion it's his main item. I like to rush it because it give great damage and lifesteal. It is also like a or Mejai's Soul Stealer in the way you gain stacks. That is another reason i like to rush it. Once I have this item I find myself owning and killing many other enemy champions and becoming unstoppable. Overall amazing item on Nocturne.
I get this after zeal because it gives more critical chance and heavy damage. This heavy damage will result in high criticals and gaining lots of lifesteal per hit because your damage is up. This item just boosts your damage and after this you will be hitting like a semi-truck, well maybe a littler faster then one, but you get the point.
I build this pretty earlier on because it give Nocturne that extra surviveabillity. It will help you so much because of the Magic resist and the health and mana boost.
I build this pretty earlier on because it give Nocturne that extra surviveabillity. It will help you so much because of the Magic resist and the health and mana boost.
This item is so great late game. It gives you attack speed, movement speed, and more critical chance. It will help you tear down enemy champions quicker.
Situational Items
You can get this if you are having toubles getting focused and hammered on by DPS people, like etc. It will pretty much negate them and hurt them because of the UNIQUE passive.
You can get this if the enemy team is a high magic damage stacking team. If you feel like you are getting hurt a lot because of magic damage you could get Force of Nature. But if you feel like some magic damaging is hurting you but not a lot get a .
This item could almost be in the core. You can put in there if you want. It gives you extra splash damage which works in harmony with . It will also help you farm crazy, like mega crazy. It will also help destroy enemies in a teamfight if they are very close together. The only reason I don't prefer this item is because the splash damage range is pretty small, which is a shame.
The only time I would get this is if the enemy team has lots of tanks or armor stacking champions. Otherwise you should be able to shred them with your armor penetration and armor shredding. But if they have lots of it, you could get this.
I would get this if they have high hit point stacking teams, such as because of his NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM. This could even be in the core because on top of the black cleaver there hit points will drop.
If you feel like you are dying too much (this doesn't really happen to me) you can put earlier in the build like after or wherever.
Nocturne pairs well with disabler and healers.
One of the best lane partners is . Sion is great too. Another viable lane partner that I have done well with is . He has heal and can harass like a bee-otch. I dont exactly know why but I have owned my lane with in my lane. It might be because of his knock up in the air. Another great lane partner is . His bandage toss and his ultimate are great and help Nocturne for ganking and such. Taunters also work EXTREMELY well with him. Think of it as free hits. . These guys are incredible to lane with and you will be getting fed.
Annoying Champions To Play Against
. You wont be able to hit them very much.
Nocturne is a very great carry and can go mid. If you go mid just try to focus on last hitting and farming. Once your level 6 go around ganking with your ultimate, your team will thank you. He can dish out physical damage in an instant and can hop around and obliterate enemies. I love this new champion, he might be a bit OP, but WHATEVER. I love him he can own. I have not had a bad game with him yet, his spells work in harmony with him so go ahead have fun with him. PLEASE NO TROLLS, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICSM IS NICE.

The book has a weird political history. Written in 1938 when pacifism was anathema to the American left and most of the center, it went to the printers in the spring of 1939 and was published on September third—ten days after the Nazi-Soviet pact, two days after the start of World War II. Shortly thereafter, on the recommendation of Mr. Joseph Wharton Lippincott (who felt it would stimulate sales), serial rights were sold to The Daily Worker of New York City. For months thereafter the book was a rally point for the left. After Pearl Harbor its subject matter seemed as inappropriate to the times as the shriek of bagpipes. Mr. Paul Blanshard, speaking of army censorship in The Right to Read (1955) says, "A few pro-Axis foreign-language magazines had been banned, as well as three books, including Dalton Trumbo's pacifist novel Johnny Get Your Gun, produced during the period of the Hitler-Stalin pact."
Is it possible for anything to resist change, even a mere commodity that can bebought, buried, banned, damned, praised, or ignored for all the wrong reasons? Probablynot. Johnny held a different meaning for three different wars. Its present meaning is whateach reader conceives it to be, and each reader is gloriously different from every otherreader, and each is also changing. I've let it remain as it was to see what it is. DALTON TRUMBO Los Angeles March 25, 1959

Preparation is key to surviving a long desert ride but as any desert rat will tell you: In the desert, nothing goes as planned. Since you will be riding in the most inhospitable environment known to man, you can get lost, bikes can break and injuries can happen. This Desert Ride Preparation Guide is intended as a good starting point to set-up your bike, along-with a few riding and survival tips we have found helpful over the years.
One of our favorite desert rides is the annual Best in the Desert Nevada 200 Trail Ride presented by Motion Pro. This three day event takes place in Caliente, Nevada and it consists of about 200-miles of challenging, gnarly and scenic desert terrain that southern Nevada has to offer so we incorporated a recap of the trip along with the bike prep tips to make the guide a little more entertaining. As I mentioned earlier, the most important part of riding in the desert is being prepared so our first order of business is to set-up the bikes to survive the ride. We won't be looking at suspension settings in this guide but we will show you the equipment we used on the Trail Ride and offer up some alternative-parts that we feel are worth considering as well.
For the 30th Annual Nevada 200 we rode a 2012 Yamaha WR450F, a 2008 Honda CRF250R and our third rider was fortunate enough to get a 2014 Beta 450RR. We will focus on the first two bikes in this guide. The WR was equipped with just about everything you need to survive the desert while the CRF is equipped with the bare minimum necessary to survive.
As you can see from this list, both bikes were set up with desert tanks, off-road tires, durable handlebars, levers and handguards. These six upgrades are a great starting point for any serious off-road or desert rider. Working from the top of the list down you can see the WR also features radiator guards, skid plate and a steering stabilizer. Many people out there will run their MX bike in the woods or desert and never have an issue but there are a few key differences. These differences include the 19-inch rear wheel on most MX bikes means you have a shorter rear tire sidewall which is more-prone to pinch-flats and the OEM fuel tank is often smaller than a stock Enduro gas tank. Let's take a look at the benefits of each and how they performed at the Nevada 200 Trail Ride.
Fuel Tank: If you plan to ride in the desert the most important piece of equipment you can put on any motorcycle is a large capacity fuel tank. Often referred to as a desert tank, the added range offered by these little beauties can be a real blessing. At the Nevada 200 you must have a 50-mile range to reach the designated fuel stops or else you have to carry extra fuel in a container and that is not the best option. The 2012 WR450F with the 3.0 IMS went 65-miles without even reaching reserve. The Acerbis 2.9 gallon tank on the CRF250R looked a little low at the 35-mile mark so we topped it off just to be safe. You may have noticed that the WR had a Dry-Brake equipped IMS tank. We had used this bike in a desert race last year so the dry brake made for much quicker fuel stops but is a pain in the butt for general refueling from a gas can. An alternative cap can be purchased but it looks a little funky so we just rolled with the brake.
If you have never installed an aftermarket fuel tank of any type you should know a few things. First of all, nothing seems to fit exactly perfect. So, take your time and loosely fit all the brackets, mounting hardware and radiator shroud mounting bolts before you start tightening anything down. This will leave you a little wiggle room to reposition things or make any modifications if they are necessary. In the case of the WR, the installation of the IMS tank required that we cut off a two-inch wide, 10-inch long strip from the top of our radiator shrouds. It also required swapping the factory Fuel-Injection module from the OEM tank to the IMS tank. This process takes some patience since there are tricky OEM plugs and a very finicky seal between the FI-unit and the base of the tank. It must be perfectly lined up and tightened in a sequence so as not to allow one side to squish down further than the other. It took a couple tries but we got it right. The dry-brake cap also required re-tightening a couple times throughout the weekend. (15-16) Allen-head bolts keep the aluminum brake in place and they seem to loosen up after a few hundred miles of pounding through the Nevada desert.
The Acerbis tank on the CRF on the other hand was much-more straight forward to install and use. The carbureted bikes still require you to swap the fuel petcock from the OEM tank to the desert tank and that means you have to pay attention, follow instructions and make sure not to mess up the gaskets upon install. Once your tanks are in place you have usually added a good 20-30 plus miles of range to your motorcycle. The gas cap is a standard screw-type so there was no hassle when refueling from a jug.
Handle Bars: We ran Renthal Bars on both the WR and the CRF. Your bars and should be set-up for your preferred riding style and height so that you are comfortable for those long stints in the saddle. As a general rule you will be standing up more in the desert so as long as you ride on your pegs most of the time your bars should be high and your levers should be adjusted so that you have a comfortable reach while standing. The WR was set-up for standing with Fastway bar risers and a taller EVO Windham bend to the Renthal bar. The Windham is actually a low-style bar which slightly off-sets the added height of the bar-risers and gives added width to the clamp area which were both necessary to get the steering stabilizer in place. If you tend to ride sitting down a lot then you should set them up to be easy to reach from the seat. Over the course of three days we all spent a fair amount of time on the seat. In theory you want to be standing up as much as possible, especially in the washes and when tip-toeing through the rough and rocky terrain but normal humans tend to wear out after a while.
The Nevada 200 is a good mix of high-speed and technical sand washes which are best tackled from the standing position. If you hit a hidden rock while seated, your chances of getting bucked-off are higher than if you are on the pegs. In the rough, single track, there were loads of low-hanging branches so the challenge was to stand when you could and use the trees as an excuse to sit down.
Grips: Stock grips are fine for many people but once you discover the joy of a grip that fits your hand perfect, you will never settle for stock waffle grips again. In the desert you are riding for long, long periods of time so a soft, comfortable grip can go a long way to help prevent blisters. Over the years we have discovered that the Pro Taper Pillow Grip is a great grip for all types of riding.
Levers: Usually, levers run on the OEM perch, but that's not always the case. Both our CRF and WR were equipped with Motion Pro OEM Replacement levers on both sides which also run the OEM perch. Make sure to adjust your levers to coincide with your riding style like we mentioned earlier in the handlebar section. It's a good idea to tighten your lever mounts just enough where they stay put but loose enough to allow them to rotate if you hit the ground hard. You should always bring some sort of spare lever in your tool kit when you are riding in remote locations. Be aware of that if you are running aftermarket levers with different perches, your spares need to be compatible.
Hand Guards: There are a variety of hand guards to choose from but the most important thing is having them on your motorcycle. The WR featured Cycra Stealth Alloy guards while the CRF was set up with Acerbis Tri Fit. These Cyrca guards easy to install accessories that make a world of difference by protecting your hands from brush, cactus, rocks and other debris. These are the most basic bar-mount style guards which attach quickly to the handlebar with a strong perch. Other brand hand guard perches even fold to reduce the chance of the guard breaking off in case of a tip-over but these two are solid mount. The Acerbis guards on the CRF are the popular "Bark Buster" style that incorporates a flat aluminum bar that wraps in front of the controls to the end of the handlebar for maximum impact protection while the plastic guards conceal the metal and offer a wide shield for protection. An added benefit of this style bar is that it protects the levers in a crash. This added protection comes at a cost because they take more effort to install and they add a bit of weight to the bar.
On this particular ride the two personal bikes had guards but the stock Beta 450RR did not. As a result, poor Justin was used and abused by Mother Nature. We spent a lot of time banging brush in the single track and while the occasional knuckle-buster is a nuisance, J-Dawes was being pummeled by every branch on the trail and his fingers bore the brunt of the attack. They were swollen-up like sausages by lunch time and by the end of the trip he looked like he got in a bar brawl. The morale of the story is hand guards are a great way to protect your hands at a value that should not be underestimated.
Steering Stabilizer: If you plan to get serious about desert riding, a good steering stabilizer is a real luxury item. Not everyone needs or even likes them but you won't find a racer without one. If you plan to go fast a stabilizer adds a measure of protection from deflection in the rough stuff and hidden rocks that are common in the desert. Look close and you can see a Fastway System 5 stabilizer located under the bars on the WR. This layout is great for a rider who like the taller bar setup. There are quite a few stabilizer options on the market so just remember that in most cases, you get what you pay for. Honda recognized the benefit of the stabilizer so the '08 CRF250R comes with its Honda Progressive Steering Damper from the factory.
It was a good thing too because as we mentioned before the terrain was rough. A steering stabilizer is such a nice addition to a desert bike in particular. If you are blitzing washes and hit a rock it can be the difference between getting swapped into oblivion or having a mild heart palpitation. It happens all the time if you are carrying any sort of speed so you tend to tense up and this puts stress on your arms and upper body. With a stabilizer you can relax a bit knowing that you have that safety guard. In the rocky trails it helps to because the bars don't tend to deflect so quickly. A stabilizer helps keep the bike tracking straight and gives you that split-second of help that can be the difference in a tip-over or an easy save. Some of the goat trails on the 200 proved this point again and again.
Foot Pegs: Having a good, solid platform to stand on is a great way to reduce rider fatigue and dissipate the weight across a wider area of your boots. Stock pegs tend to be narrow and offer minimum grip from the factory. An aftermarket peg can be chosen that suits your needs perfectly. We replaced the OEM pegs on the WR with black-anodized Fastway Evolution F3 series stainless steel pegs with replaceable teeth. There are many different types of aftermarket footpegs on the market. They range from lightweight Titanium or aluminum with intricate CNC-machined designs to burly-looking traditional style with wide footpads and sharp teeth for added traction.
Exhaust: The stock exhaust system on any off-road bike is designed to offer a decent combination of power and sound emissions along with some sort of spark arrestor. Not all bikes come with a spark arrestor but anyone who rides off-road should have one. In the case of the WR we had an FMF Factory 4.1-series slip-on with optional screen-type spark arrestor. This exhaust is rated at less than 100 dB but is offered with an optional quiet-tip insert that brings it down to 94 dB. This reduces the sound output considerably and makes this particular system compliant in most OHV areas. The CRF250R is equipped with the dual exhaust from the factory. In our tests of this bike, it purred 97-98 dB off the showroom floor and it doesn't come with a spark arrestor. Depending on where you live, sound ordinances inmost OHV areas range between 94 and 99 dB so make sure to know your local laws before you ride. In most cases a slip-on can be added without any other modifications and it will not only reduce your bike's weight by a few pounds compared to the OEM mufflers, but it allows you to choose a system that will comply with your local laws. We were informed that starting in 2015 the Nevada 200 Trail Ride will require all attendees to comply with the low 99dB sound restrictions that Nevada riders are subject to.
Radiator Guards: Most of the OEM radiators are not very durable and protecting them is an area often overlooked by many riders. Installing a radiator brace or radiator guard takes a little time but it can pay off by protecting the cooling system of your motorcycle if you happen to fall down. The WR450F we rode here featured GYTR Radiator guards but there are many different brands available. It takes a little time to disassemble the OEM radiators, in some cases you have to drain the coolant and remove a hose or two but when the job is done you have just increased the bike's durability exponentially. No matter how good you are, you will go down in the dirt. With a reinforced brace you reduce the chances of bending your valuable radiators.
Skid Plate: A good skid plate can save you thousands of dollars in repair costs as it protects the tender underbelly of your dirt bike. The frame tubes that run under the bike are subjected to massive amounts of abuse whether you ride in the desert or the woods. We used a GYTR plastic skid plate on the WR and the CRF250R had an Acerbis plastic skid plate. The plastic versions are popular in the desert racing community because they are light, inexpensive and durable. The reasoning is that while an aluminum skid plate offers a more robust level of protection, they are heavier and if they get bent there is a chance that it can poke into the engine. That is a tip from some of the folks who set-up bikes for desert racing. As a result, the plastic style skid plates have grown very popular in recent years because they tend to flex instead of bending and they glide over rocks, trees and rough ground instead of scraping along. It is a matter of personal preference and there are more than a few woods bikes in the Motorcycle-Superstore garage with aluminum skid plates.
All throughout the trail ride we could feel and hear the skid plates taking abuse. Crawling over big rocks and scraping through the technical rock gardens that seemed to pop up in the middle of every other sand wash in Caliente made us all thankful for the added protection. We even experienced a serious smash on the CRF that resulted in a hairline crack to the outside of the engine case beyond the protected area of the skid plate. Without one, we would have busted that case open and spewed all the vital fluids out in a remote location. Skid plates: Don't leave home without them.
Rear Disc Guard: You can argue the case for a front disc guard but the are equally important. For whatever reason, only the Honda had one on the front and it's a OE unit. We stuck a TM Designworks rear brake caliper guard and plastic GYTR disc guard to protect the expensive brake components on the WR450F. Both items come in aluminum or some type of composite options. You might notice a trend that plastic is gaining market share in the design of these guards that historically have been manufactured from aluminum. The same argument is that plastic flexes while metal bends.
Air Filter: There is one more critical component that you can protect from the harsh off-road environment. The engine and your air-filter is the last line of defense against dust, dirt and sand that wants to get sucked into it on any given Sunday. We run the No-Toil filters in both bikes because they are pre-packed and easy to install. Carrying additional air-filter or two in your gear bag is a great way to protect your bike if you plan on riding multiple days or in very dusty conditions.
At desert riding events like the N200 or a desert race you are guaranteed to be riding in dust. Previous Nevada 200 rides have experienced weather conditions ranging from rain and snow to sweltering heat. This event was blessed with rain and snow in the days before and warm weather during the ride so there was plenty of dust when the trails snaked through dense underbrush but the washes were pretty clear. If you choose to ride at the tail of the pack on a trail ride then it's your own fault for getting dusted out. In an organized event like the Nevada 200 the goal is to enjoy the scenery and the camaraderie so it was in your best interest to fall back and let the crowd go. The southern Nevada scenery is epic with vistas that seemed to go on for a hundred miles surrounding you in every direction. It's this wide-open sensation that is so appealing about riding in the desert, so unless you are in a race, make sure to relax and enjoy the ride. Your air filter will be glad you did.
Sprockets Front & Rear: Your chain and sprockets should be viewed as an easy and relatively inexpensive way to tailor your bike to your riding style. You can gear the bike taller for high-speed desert riding or shorter for more technical trail riding. An MX bike will usually come with shorter gears so the rider has to shift a lot which is key to riding on the closed course circuits that they were designed for. The MX bikes also tend to have a lower top speed for this same reason. This makes the MX bikes well suited for trails for many riders, but some taller gearing will reduce the stress on the engine in the desert. Our CRF featured a Sunstar sprockets 13/51 gearing arrangement which is slightly lower than the stock 13/48 configuration. A standard D.I.D. chain put the power to the rear wheel. On the WR we run a 13/45 set up for desert which retains the stock countershaft sprocket but drops five-teeth on the back for a more speed on top, plus a Renthal R3 O-ring chain.
Gearing changes on a dirt bike take about a half hour and pay huge dividends so don't be afraid to experiment with your bike. Basically one tooth larger on the front equals a three tooth reduction on the rear. Both yield an equal increase in top speed and decrease in low end acceleration. The same equation works for quicker acceleration, dropping a tooth on the countershaft is equal to adding three teeth to the rear sprocket. Any combination between those two scenarios will result in noticeable changes in how your bike accelerates and the top speed.
Wheels: All of the bikes we rode at the Nevada 200 ran the OEM wheels. There are a variety of aftermarket dirt bike wheels and wheel-sets available on the market these days which will offer lighter and stronger layouts, but they are an expensive upgrade. You can buy complete wheel sets with a wheel, spokes and hubs already assembled from a number of manufacturers or you can buy each piece by itself and assemble the wheel of your dreams. If you have the extra cash, they are a great way to enhance the look of your bike. CNC-machined anodized aluminum hubs, fat spokes and various color options make the replacement wheels a popular upgrade with off-road and motocross riders. Yet it always amazes us how much of a beating a wheel can take, which is a testament to RK/Excel wheels that are standard equipment on these three bikes and nearly every other brand on the market these days. After 200-miles of hard riding we didn't have one bent wheel among three different bikes.
Tires: Are a polarizing subject in the world of motorcycles. Personal preference, experience, word of mouth and even sponsorships often dictate which brand of tire a rider may use. In the end, you should do your best to set-up your motorcycle with the best tires you can afford for the type of riding you intend to do. Knowing that the desert is a tough, demanding place for any tire we took the opportunity to set-up the WR with the new generation Dunlop Geomax Desert AT 81 front and rear. This combination provides a great deal of traction on hard terrain while resisting punctures thanks to its tough design. The CRF was shod with the proven Maxxis Maxxcross Desert IT tires which are available for bikes with a 19-inch rear wheel. The Beta 450RR comes stock with Michelin Enduro tires. All three bikes ran heavy-duty inner tubes as well. Neither experienced a flat over the course of 200-miles and three days of varied desert off-road terrain.
There are lot of factors that come into play when selecting the tires that are right for you but understanding what type of riding you plan to do most is the first step. When it comes to desert riding you want a tough, durable, hard terrain tire that has a strong sidewall so if you do get a flat and have no way to repair it, you have a chance of riding it out. Making sure you run tire pressure that works well for that terrain and that specific tire is a tough task that is often overlooked. Running an over inflated tire will cause the bike to lose a level of feel and be prone to deflecting and feeling loose. Running a tire under-inflated can lead to pinch-flats, so keep a close on your tire pressure. As a general rule, you want to run a desert tire on the hard side around psi: 15-16 is pretty standard stuff. Folks like to run 18-psi in rocky conditions if you are spending more time on the trail than you are on fast roads. If you plan to ride in the desert on a regular basis, you might as well start learning how to ride with harder tires. Also, if you happen to have a street-legal dirt bike you want to make sure you have a DOT-approved knobby or else you could get in legal trouble.
Well, as you can see, the Motorcycle-Superstore team is serious about riding off-road. In one way or another our team members have raced in many local Enduros, regional hare scrambles, motocross, Best in the Desert Vegas to Reno and a few SCORE Baja 1000 races as well. We may not be the supreme authority on how to ride in desert but we love to ride off road and we hope that this guide will help you get off on the right foot. As you can tell in this recap of our Nevada 200 Trail Ride, our bikes are not 100% completely set-up with every accessory known to man, we do have them set-up with the components that help make our bikes a little more suited to surviving rough desert terrain. It was a good thing too because the Nevada 200 abuses all bikes and all riders. Every day the Best in the Desert support trucks brought damaged bikes back to base camp with busted wheels, cracked cases, flat tires and mangled bars. Knowing what to expect allows you to be prepared but always remember that the desert will always surprise you and that's why it is so much fun to ride there.
Now you have a good starting point to prepare your motorcycle for desert riding. We offer this Desert Riding Gear & Survival Tips Guide for some ideas on how to gear up for your ride.

Our third and final While Shepherd's Watched… is the Lyngham variant and it's nice to hear Jon tackle this differently, solo with concertina. According to Wiki this is the popular tune in Cornwall (although I'd welcome comment on that) and is more commonly associated with the hymn Oh For A Thousand Tongues To Sing. That tune was apparently written by Thomas Jarman circa 1803.

Our third and final While Shepherd's Watched… is the Lyngham variant and it's nice to hear Jon tackle this differently, solo with concertina. According to Wiki this is the popular tune in Cornwall (although I'd welcome comment on that) and is more commonly associated with the hymn Oh For A Thousand Tongues To Sing.

Well, I grew up in one of the remoter bits of Cornwall and remember hearing this version (plus the Sans Day Carol).
Lovely one – Thanks Jon!
yes this is my favorite and the version we sang round the village Christmas tree in Mullion on the Lizard in Cornwall on Christmas eve. thanks for that!
This is the version we have been singing every Christmas since Geoff Bibby started the Singers' Club at the Ring O' Bells in Warrington. It is superb for community singing, as it naturally forms rounds. Love this solo version, Jon.
This version is also sung in North Devon.
We always sing this version in our local church in Nottinghamshire
Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band sang this version this evening at Buxton Opera House. One of my favourite hymn tunes. Jon's solo/concertina version works really well too.
This is very well-known throughout Cornwall, and Devon too – I have even heard it sung at the midnight service on Christmas Eve in Liskeard.
It is always sung in glorious harmony and in parts. An indispensable favourite at christmas singarounds.
Very rock and roll – or should that be flock and roll? – version compared with the ordinary boring one I know! I like the more straightforward tune though, as it stems from childhood.
'Happy' memories of playing this with our school band outside during late night winter shopping. We always thought of it as a Cornish version as thence 'ours' and played with a great more gusto than the other versions!
Lyngham is the standard Cornish version … but like South Yorkshire, there is a flourishing pub carol singing tradition ( someone tell Kate ! ) .. with 20 + versions of WSW and a host of Cornish composers … ever heard of the Thomas Merritt concerts at Christmas ?
There was one in Perranporth last wednesday . … the same evening I was hearing Kate Rusby saying the South Yorkshire tradition was unique !
We ought to have a few exchange visits …
My favourite WSW is the Bolingey version … especially sung in the Bolingey Inn on Xmas Eve.
Love it, so much 'happier' than the traditional version learnt in church and school.
I agree with most above, that this is the best tune of all the variations we have heard so far, and Jon sings it very well. "A Proper Job, My Handsome".
How can one simple carol generate so many different variants ? The old Folk Process working overtime indeed.
I detect a 'Doo-Dah' reference there, Simon, with your 'Shirt Event'. That's as far as I go with garments from now on!
I'd never heard WSW to this tune before and I like Jon's performance of it.
Phew! I think I've got through this posting without any spelling ererrs… doh!
Liked this one very much. Not an easy one to sing though I reckon.
Simon I think your triping is excellent usually. Any mistake is a case of the brain moving faster than the fingers or vice versa. It has to be one of them. But PLEASE PLEASE do not send anyone down a different path with shirts and trousers as you know what we are all like now (some more than others). You may regret it! I hope you have gone to Spec Savers.
Peter glad you are dropping the garment theme, just want Muzza to co-operate and we will be ok. No spelling ererrs be blowed.
Cor Blimey Admin Simon……….£335……….
I'm surprised they didn't take the shirt off your back
Daina firstly a confession Colin has a fractured thumb not finger, I had pressed submit before I realised my mistake. Been to hospital today ,has now got a splint and six weeks on sick till he has to go back for a progress report. AFSAD is helping to keep the boredom at bay. Many thanks for asking. Jon when you started this project did you realise that apart from providing us with some brilliant songs you were also starting a social network?
Diana sorry must a caught the bug
Cor Blimey Guvnor…that "A nonny mouse" above is playing with fire..
wait till the gals see that comment….
I wouldn't have dared say that after what "Daina" said…and, anyway, I am now reformed!
and that Colin with a fractured thumb…..did he not know that Linda had booby-trapped the plum pie!
Muzza you are back and on form. " A nonny mouse" chooses to be anonymous – do you think it might be someone we already know?
@ Skyman: I paid about £350 for one pair of glasses last time without photochromic lenses, so think yersen lucky! Of course, I am blind as the proverbial bat, and now have to have varifocals to boot. The world is never the same after varifocals… What with the specially-thinned lenses for less weight and better cosmetic effect, & the light-reflecting coating, I need a mortgage – plus I always purchase 2 pairs as I'm paranoid I'll break the one when so dependent on them! The cost is all in the lenses, not the frames, as there are usually only 2/3 fit my prescription in the shoppe. So no, I don't go to Specsavers. They don't want to do 2 for 1 for the likes of me!
@ Muzza: I see you are back from Bethlehem… and sporting a new hair-cut? I am rather missing your sock though… but then so are you… this is where we came in!
The tune's composer Thomas Jarman (1776-1861) was a Baptist tailor from Clipstone, Northants, who called it 'Nativity' when he wrote it in c.1803 for 'While Shepherds'. Because there were so many tunes called 'Nativity' it was later renamed 'Lyngham' and became almost inseparable from the Methodists' 'O for a thousand tongues to sing'.
It's still the normal tune for 'While Shepherds' in many parts of the country which have a strong nonconformist tradition.
My granny died aged 113 yrs and never needed glasses……………..
drank it straight from the bottle..ta dah!
Nice one Muzza. You are on form.
Still think this is a hard carol to sing for Jon.
'Watched their flocks'…….'watched their flocks'….
not a mention of the laundering of foot-related garments (bang goes tradition!
Put a sock in it Muzza. You know how we all get wound up about the dreaded words which I dare not repeat. It is a travesty of justice.
Do you suffer with specs before the eyes?………….wear them round the back of your head Do you suffer from acne?……………move to Chelsea!…….
Socks , vests, shirts………..what is it they say….if you scream in space…nobody hears!
I was brought up on my parent's farm at Crackington Haven, 1944-61. This Lyngham version was the one we always sang, at Brockhill Methodist Chapel or at home. And always with great joy!
Alf………there you are….a farmers boy from the forties and yet you manage to pull off a high tech stunt by dating your comment February 2016……..how you do dat!!!
I note that my comment posted with todays date…..vest vest vest sock sock

Hi, Welcome to Seven forums.
Often the reason why your Windows 7 theme could be stuck on classic is that your PC is configured to be optimized for better performance. Actually, it's a good setting, but if you want a better appearance I can understand that it's annoying to be stuck on "classic" theme. So, if you can't change your Windows 7 theme, you might want to check your PC configuration first:
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Click on "System and Security":
3. Click on "System".
4. In the sidebar, click on "Advanced System Settings":
5. Go to the tab "Advanced" and click on "Settings":
6. Scroll down the list, at the bottom double-check that the item "Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons" is checked. If this is not checked, your Windows 7 theme will be stuck on "classic" for a long time, because this completely disables your fancy visual Aero appearance.
If this does not work, Try this.
Make sure the Theme Services is started.
1. Click on "Start" and enter "services.msc" into the search field. Click on the item that appears.
2. Scroll down the list until you find the item "Themes" (or enter Themes while one item is selected)
3. You will now see if the Themes service is running currently and what mode it is in (Automatic, Disabled, Manual):
4. If it's currently "Disabled" or in "Manual" mode and not started, you have to start it manually and change the mode to "Automatic".
5. Double-click on "Themes" and from the dropdown select "Automatic", click on "Start" and then on "Apply"
Also, check if your PC supports AERO or not. If it does, that's good. If not, here is a small tutorial that guides how to enable in any version of Win 7. Aero - Enable in Unsupported Editions of Windows 7
Keep us posted.

Yes, I am currently in Aero mode, and I am in Automatic, and "Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons" is checked already, and I have restarted the laptop a few times. Still won't work!!

Try this
1. Open the control panel and type "experience" into the search box. One of the options should be "Check the Windows Experience Index'. Click on that, and make sure your video score is higher than 3. If any are blank, you've never seen this screen before, or you've upgraded your video drivers since installing windows then click on Refresh Now and let it do its thing.
2. Now type "glass" into the search box at the top right corner of the control panel. Select "Change Windows Glass Colors" or "Enable or disable transparent glass on windows" - they both bring you to the same screen. Make sure that enable transparency is selected. This is also where you can pick eggplant or whatever.
3. Now right click on the task bar beside your icons, and pick properties. At the very bottom of the taskbar tab is a check box for aero peek. Turn it on if you want the previews for your windows when you move your curser over the icons. I believe this requires the newer style taskbar though, so if you've changed it to the old style it won't work.
If none of that is what your looking for, go back to the windows experience index page. On the left hand side there should be an option 'Adjust visual effects', this lets you manually choose animations. Aero Peek and transparency can also be activated from this menu

About This File
On the STEX you'll find several different kinds of power plants representing a variety of post-doctorate theses on the advance of energy technology. The Energy Data Packaging Plant represents my contribution to the plausible power plants collection.
This plant packs more energy data into subatomic particles. Nuclear structure remains intact and the laws of thermodynamics are not broken, you just get more "bang" for your boson, thus, the Energy Data Packaging Plant generates 4X the power of the hydrogen fusion core using the wind turbine as its examplar. H2O is produced equal to the volume of a large water pump.
Well-educated technicians and maximum funding are recommended as a 2 picosecond delay before the acceleration of light must be maintained to prevent a supernova reaction.
All props and lighting are Maxis dependent.
INSTALL: Add the 'Energy Data Packaging Plant' folder containing the lot file to your 'User\ Documents\ SimCity 4\ Plugins' folder.
The animated preview above shows the 5 zoom levels of SC4 trimetric projection. The water connection preview shows where to connect the pipe.
What's New in Version 2.1.0
Version 2.1
Revision: Added the same 'Demand Created' property values for jobs as the nuclear power plant, and added the same 'Hard Failure' type as the nuclear power plant, so the plant will explode if it reaches the end of its term of operation, but will not spew radiation.
Added to the zip-file a list of many of the alternate power plants found on the STEX, and an HTML Preview and Install file.

It's rare that I talk about MAC these days. The last few years the brand's offerings have been quite boring, dull and repetitive, a far cry from the creative and edgy collections of its pre Estee Lauder days. So, I was ecstatic when they unveiled their new collection of revolutionary brushes. Finally, something original.
Ok, maybe MAC isn't the first to invent makeup brushes that look like toothbrushes, but let's face it, how many of us have seen anything like this before? Anything that differs from the traditional brushes is a welcomed addition to the market imo and I, for one, can't wait to try them.
"Ergonomically designed for even and effortless application", these brushes have "lush, silky, synthetic fibres engineered to expertly pick up and apply product seamlessly. Masterclass Brushes are shaped to match the planes of the face, and the shape of the fiber bundles were made to adhere to the face's various surfaces and contours.
These brushes work in gliding strokes of push or pull, not multiple dabs. Hold the handle between your thumb and fingers and place the brush at the beginning of the area of the face you are going to cover. Glide, pull or push if it feels more natural. Also notice that while you are using a Masterclass Brush, your hand is pointed away from the area you are trying to see. No more blocking the view, as with traditional brushes."
There are three brushes in the collection:
With a short, narrow shape, the brush delivers a firm, precise stroke to line lashes and lips. Also defines and fills brows.
The ultimate multipurpose tool, with an elongated oval shape and slightly pointed tip. Smoothly shades and blends powder or cream eye shadows, powder, and liquid or cream concealer in the hard-to-reach contours of the face.
Ideal for blush, foundation or powder, the rounded, medium-sized brush applies, blends and contours all over the face or cheeks for even, flawless coverage.
The collection is available now at maccosmetics.com. What do you think of it? Are you excited to try these brushes?

Top 100 courses under £100: 100-91November 4, 2013 Courses and Travel
North Hants, Seascale and Kilmarnock Barassie all feature here as we begin our countdown of the top 100 UK courses under £100
100 – Kilmarnock Barassie, Ayrshire
2013 green fee: £60
Recently extended, Barassie now has 27 holes, with the newest of them reaching all the way to Dundonald. Expect high-quality surfaces to hit and putt on and the kind of bunkering that must be respected.
Why it's special: A quintessential west-coast Scottish links
99 – Seascale, Cumbria
2013 green fee: £35
The funny thing about Seascale is that in one direction are the hills of the Lake District and in another the Irish Sea. The industrial backdrop to the south unfairly dominates conversations about this honest links at the most remote outpost of Cumbria.
Why it's special: Incredible value and an experience few get to enjoy
98 – King's Lynn, Norfolk
2013 green fee: £50
Tight, tree-lined and featuring several doglegs, King's Lynn is the gateway to any trip to Norfolk. By all means contine to Hunstanton and Brancaster but a round here is much more than a warm up – it's a treat in its own right. Not the longest but demands respect.
Why it's special: You could be playing at one of Surrey's finest
97 – Sheringham, Norfolk
2013 green fee: £65
Sitting on the cliffs just to the north of this pleasant coastal town, get Sheringham on a clear day and you will be glad to be alive. Natural and rugged, the toughest holes are usually those beside the railway and specifically the tremendous closing stretch.
Why it's special:The views of the sea and the sound of the old trains
96 – Bude & North Cornwall, Cornwall
2013 green fee: £33
The South West seems to do holiday golf as well as anywhere else in Britain and Bude fits very much into that category. A seaside course of little more than 6,000 yards, there is a testing finish almost in the very centre of town.
Why it's special:The views from the putting green are sensational
Isle of Purbeck is an unusual course – it is near the sea yet actually more heathland in nature than anything else, with outbreaks of gorse and heather. 95 – Dalmahoy, Edinburgh
2013 green fee: £65
To the west of Edinburgh going towards Livingston, Dalmahoy was good enough to host the Solheim Cup in the 1990s. It was designed by James Braid and finishes in some style with a closing hole that crosses a gorge.
Why it's special: The fabulous 18th-century manor house provides the backdrop
94 – North Hants, Hampshire
2013 green fee: £60
This is where the reigning US Open champion Justin Rose grew up and by mastering his home course's tree-lined fairways and tight heathland turf he honed his ball striking and accuracy. One of Hampshire's finest.
Why it's special: This is one of those courses where you rarely see any other holes
93 – Hayling, Hampshire
2013 green fee: £60
This south-coast links is over 100 years old but the design owes much to the work of Tom Simpson in the 1930s. It's rugged and natural with plenty of gorse to avoid. Oh, and a magnificent art deco-style clubhouse.
Why it's special: Arguably the only true links to the west of Rye on the south coast
92 – Downfield, Angus
2013 green fee: £69
Classy Downfield is a verdant, parkland treat in a region much better known for its flinty links courses. Get this Open qualifier in the summer months and you will love the conditioning but don't be deceived – it is a substantial test from the back tees.
Why it's special: There are some wonderful risk-and-reward par 5s
91 – Isle of Purbeck, Dorset
2013 green fee: £48
This is an unusual course – it is near the sea yet actually more heathland in nature than anything else, with outbreaks of gorse and heather. It was touched by the hands of the great Harry Colt in the 1900s.
Why it's special: The views here are amazing and in all directions

After a long and bird-filled autumn it's that moment you've all been waiting for-an 'Obslife' update! It's been a whole three months since our last and there's been a lot happening. Staff members, volunteers and guests have come and gone and the daylight hours are rapidly dwindling away as winter begins to arrive. I'll concentrate on the last couple of weeks though, beginning with the Harvest home festival at the end of October. A typical North Ronaldsay 'knees-up' at the community centre to celebrate the end of the farmers harvest saw 80 odd folk gather for a sit-down meal of roasted mutton, ham, pork, clapshot, (neaps and tatties) with wine of course. This was followed by after-dinner speeches from Islander Ian Scott and Neil Leask-custodian of the Corrigal Farm Museum and Kirbister Farm Museum on Orkney Mainland, and later the traditional dances. About £600 was raised for future Island events from the raffle and an auction was held of an Ian Scott original painting featuring the lighthouse-which Mark (from the Lighthouse) won for a mere £350-a bargain! Highlight for me though was winning an equally fine Ian Scott original of West Beach in the raffle for just a £1 ticket!
A concerning sight a week or so later was that of a Mad Doctor, Giant Spider, Killer Shark, Evil Witch, Grim Reaper, and a Black Cat clambering into a Red Fiesta outside the post-office. I've come up with three possible explanations for this 1. I was still drunk from the Harvest Home festival. 2. The post-office was being held up by a well disguised crew of robbers. 3. It was the school kids out trick or treating on Halloween. I guess option 3 is the most likely and so none of the above critters were entered into the bird log.
An extremely frightening pumpkin
A less frightening pumpkin-although that bone could be human?!
Remember, remember the 5th of November! It was fireworks night up at the lighthouse and something Fleur and I didn't expect to see up here on North Ronaldsay. A great community night with roaring bonfire, sparklers, burgers, hot-dogs and a beer or two (well earned after our trek from one end of the Island to the other), were followed by the main event-the fireworks. There were plenty of Oooh's and Aaaah's as the clear and calm skies were lit up in a multiple colours.
Despite several members of the Island fire-brigade being present-nobody told me my bum was on fire!
As winter is upon us we hope to provide further updates, with the emphasis moving from ornithological related work to maintenance tasks around the Observatory and Indoor work.
Two cruel finds for Ric and I in recent days are pictured below, and a reminder we live on a 'Desert' Island away from civilisation, the luxury's and some of the things we love (or love to hate) from our past lives. Or perhaps we've stumbled on a gap in the market on North Ron and will shortly be opening our own Fast Food establishment
These two are likely to have travelled just as far as some of our migrant birds-other fast food venues are available-but not on North Ron!

Do your job responsibilities include event planning? If so, then this course is for you, and you can now choose an on-campus or online format. Corporate events span all industries and are planned for a variety of occasions, milestones, and celebrations. Corporate event planners are often responsible for the successful implementation, execution, and management of these events and more.
The S-M-A-R-T course covers:
a variety of events. In addition, you will walk away knowing how to execute events successfully and charge for services.
In the certificate case study, students plan a convention for a health organization. In addition, students will complete 21 task assignments. Textbook assignments, quizzes, and a final exam will be completed. Assignments - lesson-specific activities and tasks- are dispersed within each chapter of the text as well as in the assessment section at the end of the workbook.
Also, included in the on-campus class is a field trip to a local party rental vendor, where students will have the hands on experience of going through inventory, calculating spatial needs for a venue, and how to size linen properly.
For students participating in classroom instruction, class time will be used when possible to work on assignment and task completion. Students in these classes should also expect to spend up to 4-6 hours outside of class reading and preparing for this certificate. Attendance, assignments- tasks, quizzes, and the final exam- are assessed to determine successful certificate completion.

San Francisco police say a man is in custody for allegedly killing a woman and then burning her body in a car.
Police say 29-year-old Almon Johnson was arrested Monday night on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of Vanessa Herrera. Her charred body was found that morning in the passenger seat of a car illegally parked in San Francisco's Lower Haight neighborhood.
Investigators suspect Johnson killed Herrera in Sacramento early Monday and drove her body to San Francisco in a gray 2000 Pontiac. They believe he then set the car on fire with her in it.
Police say Johnson has family ties in both Sacramento and San Francisco. Herrera is believed to be in her 20s and from the Sacramento area.
Police would not disclose the relationship between the two.

ST. LOUIS — Mourners began lining up under a blistering sun more than three hours before the start of Monday's funeral for Ferguson teen Michael Brown.
By 9 AM CST, still an hour before the scheduled start, lines snaked around the corner and down a full city block on either side of the mammoth red-brick Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church.
Fifteen minutes later and 45 minutes before the funeral was to begin, police informed visitors that the church had reached its 3,500-person capacity. They directed them to an adjacent auditorium that seats an additional 2,500 people, who will watch the service on giant screens.
Brown's body will be laid to rest here Monday, but the controversy swirling around his death is far from over. The black teen was fatally shot by a white police officer in predominantly black Ferguson Aug. 9, setting off almost two weeks of sometimes violent protests.
On Monday morning, the atmosphere was subdued. Johnnie Shegog, 57, of St. Louis, stood in line amid rising temperatures. She knew Michael Brown, 18 when he died, since he was 4 years old and the family for two decades.
"I'm hoping this day lifts us up, turns things around," she said. "Not just for St. Louis, but the entire nation."
Angela Jones-Peaks, 43, of nearby Jennings, asked her supervisor for a few hours off Monday morning to attend the service. Having two sons of her own motivated her to attend, she said.
"It's scary every time they leave home," Jones-Peaks said. "I wanted to support this family, let them know we're here for them."
Several men guarded two double doors to a side entrance of the church, waiting for family members. They asked each person approaching that door for a purple wristband that family members had been told to wear.
Inside, members of Brown's family sat in a waiting area just outside the doors to the part of the church where the service will be held. Many nervously chatted and talked about the loss of someone so young.
On Sunday, the teen's parents saw their son for the first time since his death and tried to prepare for a burial that will test their strength.
About 100 family members and friends gathered Sunday for a private viewing of Brown's body at Austin A. Layne Mortuary. They gazed at Brown, who lay with his arms crossed in a gold and black casket. He wore a blue-and-white-checked shirt, a navy blue sweater vest and a neatly tied red-and-blue-striped bow tie. He showed no sign of the gunshots that ended his life Aug. 9.
Brown's parents each spent time alone with his body. Then other people came in.
"They say tomorrow is going to be the hardest day, but I think today was — just seeing my baby laying there, cold," Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, 34, told USA TODAY. "It did something to my heart. It's too much. It's too much."
Michael Brown Sr. said seeing his son's dead body made the past two weeks real.
"It was a dream," Brown, 36, told USA TODAY. "It's a reality now. I can't really explain how I feel. I'm torn, hurt, upset and angry. I can't explain."
He said he wanted Monday, the day of his son's funeral, to be without demonstrations.
"I really don't want protesters tomorrow," the father said. "Our son needs to have a moment of silence for tomorrow."

You can always keep the party going when you go to Taco Flats, and now you can top off the day with a new twist on an old favorite. Simon Madera stopped by Studio 512 to make the Agave Old Fashioned. This cocktail is served in a rocks glass. First, take 1-ounce of Mezcal, 1-ounce of anejo tequila, 1/4-ounce of honey, a few splashes of bitters (about three depending on how you like it), two splashes of mole bitters. Mix it up in your glass. We garnished the drink with Luxardo cherries and an orange peel. Taco Flats is located on Burnet Road. Learn more about their menu and catering by heading over to tacoflats.com or call 512-254-8352.

This oft-honored course underwent a restoration of Donald Ross's original design in 2004 by architect John Fought. Since then, Golf Digest ranked Pine Needles 4.5 stars, while Golfweek ranked it among America's best top-100 "classic" courses and fourth-best in North Carolina.
The peak season (March-June) rates are $200 on weekdays, $235 on weekends and holidays. The low-season is November to March, when the rates are $85 on weekdays and $95 on weekends.

Course was in good shape. Greens were slower than expected but due to the extremely hot weather we've had that was not unexpected as the course is trying to make sure they keep their greens.

I loved this course. Pretty open fairways, but very protected greens and they seem to be getting pretty quick as well. Good round for all level of players though.
