Many blog readers have purchased and read my newly published book - Trading the Markets. The book is published by Vision Books. This post answers a few points raised by readers, and, some points which I think may be worth explaining.
1. Cost. The publishers determine the cost of the book. As author, I have no voice in this decision.
2. Reason for writing this book. Believe me, earning money is NOT the reason for writing this book. The effort required to create any book is far more than the monetary rewards from it. I found this out when I started writing. The ONLY reason to write such books is to share my thoughts and ideas with readers. This applies to most trading books written.
3. What will the book give to you, dear reader? The purpose of this book was to share real life trading experiences. It is great fun to analyze and write after the event. But, I write a newsletter every evening, talking about tomorrow. That is much more difficult.
4. How should you read the book? I suggest that you read the book from start to finish just as you would read a novel - lightly, without stress. Then you open any chapter / page and read a few pages. You will slowly understand the basic concepts of trading which I use, and, which should help you in understanding the markets.
This is Sudarshan's blog - www.sudarshanonline.com. It discusses the technical analysis of Indian Stock Markets emphasising on online day trading and futures trading strategies.

Dear Rajiv,
Your comment reminded me of story of Swami Vivekananda. He was going thru a lot of financial difficulties. So he decided to ask for monetary wealth from Goddess Kali. However whenever she appeared in front of him, he forgot his financial difficulties and asked for more Bhakti.
May be we should all do something similar. We should ask for more knowledge.
If you make even one trade right after reading the book, you will get money which will be more than many times the price of the book.

Dear Sudarshan Ji
I am a regular follower on your blog for past many years but for sheer laziness I only check mark one of the buttons from Useful,Interesting or Cool and write comments only occasionally and looking at the numbers at checked marked boxes(mostly in 20s or 30s while blog readers I am sure are in thousands) I guess there are lazier(sorry fellow readers) readers than me.
So I can understand how difficult writing a book can be.An astute trader like Sudarshan Ji can earn much more money trading for the time and energy he devoted writing the book.
So I am thankful to Sudarshan Ji for writing the book for us.
My ordered book is not yet delivered so I have not read it.
But Sudarshan sir you should start some channel here for selling autographed copies of the book.
Your Fan

some talks about some 475 bucks. Its not 1500 or 3000. And the time is not 1990 or 2000. Have anyone expect a book from jhunhunwala or buffet from a trading perspective? No. One commented that the book contains facts that all knows. Change it to some. A lot and lot people are newly coming to the scene. And about reflection of past bloggs, a lot even dosn't know about those valuable bloggs. And this inclusion, if anyone considers so, is a bonus, I say. Sudarshan sir, infy haven't broke ur support. But dlf began to bleed early than i expect. I think tatamotors is running out of deicel at the current level with 209 as the resistant. I hope u (and we too) are able to make a new position tomorrow. Reliance looks week and without its support, that may be on shorter side.

The Zanesville Civic Chorus and Orchestra will present the 84th annual performance of "Messiah" Sunday evening.
Performers met at Central Trinity United Methodist Church on 7th street to rehearse for the big day on Saturday. More than 120 performers including soloists, chorus and orchestra members will entertain the crowd on Sunday night. Director, James McLaughlin says it's a show you do not want to miss.
"First of all it's the most known piece of choral orchestra music in the world, if you go into a communist country they will perform Handel's Messiah. They do not look at it as a spiritual event they'll look at it as a classical concert, but its known all over the world, " said McLaughlin.
McLaughlin also says the performance is embedded in the holiday tradition here in Zanesville and features a wide variety of local talent.
"We have many high school students that are in this group including Licking Valley, Zanesville, Tri-Valley, John Glen, Philo all those schools systems are a part of this, also there's a lot of youth in the group and I think it offers something for everyone," said McLaughlin.
The concert starts promptly at 6 p.m. at the church and is open and free to the public. However a freewill offering will be collected during the program and be given to Christ's Table.

Group Review: First Frost
Author: Sarah Addison AllenSummary: From the New York Times bestselling author of GARDEN SPELLS comes a story of the Waverley family, in a novel as sparkling as the first dusting of frost on new-fallen leaves...It's October in Bascom, North Carolina, and autumn will not go quietly. As temperatures drop and leaves begin to turn, the Waverley women are made restless by the whims of their mischievous apple tree... and all the magic that swirls around it. But this year, first frost has much more in store.Claire Waverley has started a successful new venture, Waverley's Candies. Though her handcrafted confections; rose to recall lost love, lavender to promote happiness and lemon verbena to soothe throats and minds;are singularly effective, the business of selling them is costing her the everyday joys of her family, and her belief in her own precious gifts. Sydney Waverley, too, is losing her balance. With each passing day she longs more for a baby, a namesake for her wonderful Henry. Yet the longer she tries, the more her desire becomes an unquenchable thirst, stealing the pleasure out of the life she already has. Sydney's daughter, Bay, has lost her heart to the boy she knows it belongs to…if only he could see it, too. But how can he, when he is so far outside her grasp that he appears to her as little more than a puff of smoke?When a mysterious stranger shows up and challenges the very heart of their family, each of them must make choices they have never confronted before. And through it all, the Waverley sisters must search for a way to hold their family together through their troublesome season of change, waiting for that extraordinary event that is First Frost. ~powells.com

Jenn's Review: This is my second time starting the new year off with a Sarah Addison Allen novel and I think it's a New Year's tradition I will keep, even if it's just re-reading one of her novels --which I also did. If you visit this blog with any frequency you know that we are all huge fans of Sarah Addison Allen; I'm actually not sure there are enough wonderful words to describe her work. Re-reading Garden Spells, I fell in love with it all over again --I fell in love with the characters all over again and I fell in love with Sarah Addison Allen's writing all over again. Of all her novels, Garden Spells has always been my favorite, so much so that after re-reading it I almost didn't want to read First Frost because everything was so perfect the way it was. But if there is any author I trust not to let me down, it is Ms. Allen, so I dove in with a hopeful heart.
Sarah Addison Allen did not disappoint. It has been ten years since we last visited the Waverley's and the promise that life will be good continues to blossom from the garden. Lately however, the women are trying too hard: trying to prove themselves, trying to be more than who they are, trying to be accepted for who they are. Being a Waverley has become more acceptable in Bascom due to Claire and Sydney's overwhelming success, but it still comes with social stigma. For Bay, even though she is accepted as a Waverley, she still isn't allowed to socialize with the popular crowd. While this doesn't bother Bay, it is hard on Sydney who remembers all too well what it is like not to fit in. It makes it hard for Sydney and Bay to communicate which is sad because they used to be so close. Claire is struggling too, having closed her catering business to make candy full time. Her business has grown beyond her capabilities and it's causing her to question herself. I'm talking about the characters as if they were real again, but they are to me. That is the real magic of Sarah Addison Allen's writing. You leave each novel with new friends. I didn't realize how much I missed the Waverley's until I went back.
Ms. Allen's style is mellifluous and enveloping. Her novels are full of hope, beauty, and strong women. Her books are ones you don't want to rush through and miss a single delectable morsel, but at the same time you find you can't quite put them down. It is through her work that I became obsessed with food lit. (I can almost smell the delicious scent's in Claire's kitchen!) However with her added touch of magical realism, no one quite compares to Sarah Addison Allen. If you have never read her work, we all recommend it. Start with Garden Spells. You don't have to have read it to enjoy First Frost, but it helps you appreciate the scope of these
Julie's Review: First Frost is magic. At least it was for me. Coming back to the Waverley's was like coming home for me. I missed Bay, Sydney and Claire. While the book did focus on all three Waverley women, the hook for me was Bay. I loved coming back to her and seeing how she has grown up. Bay is so comfortable being a Waverley, that her mom, Sydney, almost can't relate. You see, Sydney didn't like being a Waverley until she came back to Bascom.
You see in Bascom, being a Waverley has a certain connotation to it. Depending on people's needs it's either a good thing or bad thing. Claire's gift is food and Sydney's gift is hair. That's all I'll say about their gifts. We learn that Claire has switched from catering to a candy making business and that it's taking up all her time. It's exhausting her and not leaving her much time for anything else.
Sydney is desperate for another child. She's doing anything she can to make that happen. She's also not sure what's going on with Bay and how to handle it. Bay is in love. She knows where she's supposed to be and know that Josh is supposed to be with her but she's made a fool of herself.
What I adore about Ms. Allen's novels is her characters. I never fail to fall in love with them. They are the people you want to have in your life. I also adore the setting. There's something a bit special about Bascom and the people who inhabit it.
There's always magic in her novels. It's not the sweeping kind of magic in some novels but it's understated and part of each character.What I always walk away from after reading, is that all of us have a little magic in ourselves. What that magic is, is up to us. Perhaps this is her gift to us. Ms. Allen's magic is her ability to write books that I love to savor and devour at the same time!
Did you have to read Garden Spells to read/love First Frost? No. Does it help with the history of the characters? Absolutely. Plus Garden Spells is one of my favorite stories of Ms. Allen's and that's saying a lot.

Army and IAF today reached out to the two Russian women lodged in a hotel here after they got a distress call from them, an Army officer said. When they were approached for evacuation, the duo refused to come out saying there were people who were ill and they should be moved out first, he said.
While greater desperation was seen in the areas which are on the outer fringes, people in the interiors of some marooned colonies are displaying a great sense of responsibility and directing the rescue teams to those people who are worse affected. Around four lakh people are caught in flood waters in Kashmir Valley and are waiting for help.

Assembling The Strelkovy Company
A Strelkovy Company is made up of an HQ Section containing a Command Rifle/MG team with optional Komissar team, and one, two or three Strelkovy Platoons, each containing seven Rifle/MG teams.
To assemble the Command Rifle/MG team, use one Officer figure, one NCO figure and one rifleman, on one of the small three-hole bases provided in the box set.
Komissar team uses a Komissar figure and a rifleman, on a small two-hole base.
Each Rifle/MG team is made up of riflemen, NCOs and LMG gunners, as indicated above.
The Maksim HMG team uses three figures on a medium base: the two-part HMG gunner, the loader, and a rifleman. Using a four-hole base, you can fill in the unneeded holes with a base plug.
Assembling the Strelkovy Batalon HQ
course, if you would prefer to field two under-strength companies – one with
two Rifle Platoons and the other with just one – the box gives you enough
command teams to do so. So this box can give you an entire game-ready Strelkovy
Battalion, just waiting for you to add whatever support options you like.
Whichever way you look at it, this box makes it easier than ever before to
start a Flames Of War Soviet infantry army!
And, if you choose not to attach the Maksim HMG teams to your Stelkovy Company (or Companies), the box gives you enough teams to form a full six-strong Strelkovy Machine-gun Company as well.

Minster FM News
Norton girl plays her cards right
12:00am 28th May 2011
9 year old Jessica Tate, from Norton, is through to the grand finale of a UK tournament for the card game 'Top Trumps'.
The youngster is aiming to be top of the class in a UK tournament of the popular schoolyard card game.
More than 100,000 UK pupils competed in the heats and the final sees regional champions from the Isle of Skye to Swansea, Newcastle to Newquay
The makers of cult card classic Top Trumps, which first hit shop shelves in 1977 – say Jessica came in the top 20 out of 100,000 in one elimination stage beating hundreds of opponents up and down the country.
The Grand Finale takes place at London's Science Museum tonight.
If Jessica wins she will not only lift the winning trophy but also win £1,000 for her school, as well as an all-expenses paid educational school trip for her and her classmates.
"Our congratulations to Jessica," says Fiona Hortopp, Marketing Manager at the game's makers Winning Moves UK.
"She has done fantastically well to get to the Grand Final from so many entrants. We wish her all the very best in London."
The 2011 National Schools Top Trumps Tournament will be played using a 'Tournament' version of Top Trumps rather than the traditional format of Top Trumps, which tends to be played more on a 'one on one' basis.
The new bumper edition of Top Trumps is a bid by the game's makers Winning Moves to encourage children to spend more time playing together away from laptop and mobile phone screens to make them more "socially friendly" in these digitally dominated times.
Fiona Hortopp at Top Trumps Winning Moves UK explains:
"We feel Top Trumps Tournament edition addresses this. It's the ultimate in family friendliness."
Fiona adds that Top Trumps generally has become a phenomenon, with more children playing together than ever before.
"The traditional Top Trumps is very much a one on one game," she says.
"Our new Tournament edition is a way of letting a whole family or classmates play together.
"In this digital age it's great that Top Trumps Tournament allows for interactive family time. It offers the opportunity to get children off the computer screen and provides rare precious quality time with your children."

The Northern District of Ohio, in O1 Communique Laboratory, Inc. v. Citrix Sys., Inc., Case No. 1:06-cv-00253 (Magistrate Judge Kathleen Burke) (April 17, 2015), addressed two questions that are rarely, if ever, seen in the context of comparable license agreements: (1) whether a corporate party asked about its "beliefs" as to legal conclusions—in this case, whether Citrix believed patents were valid and infringed that were licensed by defendant Citrix in an agreement on which Citrix intended to rely for damages purposes—may refuse to answer because those beliefs are inseparable from legal advice received from attorneys; and (2) whether reliance on a license to establish reasonable royalty waives privilege on legal advice a company received related to the patents that are the subject of the license. The court answered the two questions: Yes and No.
Plaintiff sought sanctions against Citrix, particularly seeking to preclude use at trial of a license between Citrix and Tridia where privilege was asserted. Plaintiff contended that Citrix improperly invoked attorney-client privilege in response to five portions of the deposition of the licensing corporate witness (Citrix in-house counsel Robert Feldman):
- Question 1: "What motivated Citrix to license the Tridia patents?"
- Question 2: "What products or services did Citrix believe would be covered by the Tridia license at the time it entered into the license?
- Question 3: "Did Citrix believe the Tridia patents to be infringed by Citrix's products at the time it entered into the license?"
- Question 4: "Mr. Feldman, the question, as posed, simply requests Citrix's subjective belief as to whether or not its products were covered by the Tridia patents at the time it entered into the license?"
- Question 5: "Did Citrix believe the Tridia patents to be valid at the time it entered into the license?"
Feldman provided partial answers to some of the questions (invoking privilege to the remainder of those questions). On others (numbers 3 and 4 above), Feldman provided no answer, and Citrix stood on privilege. The court first address the question of corporate "belief": "A corporation does not have personal beliefs in the same way that a natural person does." Slip op. at 8. It held that these questions were seeking privileged information. The court also concluded that historical testimony provided by Mr. Feldman concerning the Tridia license that did not disclose privileged communications did not expressly waive attorney client privilege.
More generally applicable to the reasonable royalty context, the court also concluded that Citrix's expert's reliance on the Tridia license for reasonable royalties did not impliedly waive privilege. The court reasoned that "Citrix does not rely on the advice of its counsel to prove a claim or defense. While the legal advice Citrix received with respect to the Tridia patents may be relevant, Citrix is not relying on that advice to show that the Tridia license is evidence of what a reasonable royalty for the technology at issue in this case would be." Slip op. at 12. "Communique has not cited, nor is the Court aware of, precedent for finding a waiver of privilege under facts analogous to this case and the Court declines to create such precedent." Slip op. at 13.

"A thoughtful, in places chilling, account of the way entertainment values have hollowed out American life." The New York Times Book Review
From one of America's most original cultural critics and the author of Winchell, the story of how our bottomless appetite for novelty, gossip, glamour, and melodrama has turned everything of importance-from news and politics to religion and high culture-into one vast public entertainment.
Neal Gabler calls them "lifies," those blockbusters written in the medium of life that dominate the media and the national conversation for weeks, months, even years: the death of Princess Diana, the trial of O.J. Simpson, Kenneth Starr vs. William Jefferson Clinton. Real Life as Entertainment is hardly a new phenomenon, but the movies, and now the new information technologies, have so accelerated it that it is now the reigning popular art form. How this came to pass, and just what it means for our culture and our personal lives, is the subject of this witty, concerned, and sometimes eye-opening book.
[Gabler] sets forth the notion that entertainment values have come to dominate not only the mass media but also personal conduct, turning American life into the cultural equivalent of a movie...he brilliantly demonstrates that we swim in a sea of media-marketed gratifications. --Columbia Journalism Review

Igor & the Red Elvises
The Pour House Music Hall
224 S. Blount
Raleigh, NC, 27601
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
Watch & Listen
Siberian Surf Rock band, Red Elvises began in 1995 after Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock'n'roll. Not one to say no to the King, Igor and his Russian friends started playing on Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade. Their street musician days did not last long, however, as they drew such huge crowds that the City of Santa Monica brought them to court and ordered them off the streets. Since then Red Elvises have been constantly touring, with occasional breaks from the road to record an album or take part in film and television projects. This constant work for the last 15 years has led to them gaining a world-wide following, with successful tours all over North America, Europe and Russia (Red Elvises bootlegs have been found in Siberia).
Igor & Red Elvises have declined several major record deals, prefering to maintain independent status and produce all their own work. This includes 11 studio albums, one live album, a live concert DVD and a Greatest Hits compilation. Added to their long resume is work in film (Six String Samurai, Mail Order Bride, Armageddon, Skippy) and television (Melrose Place, Fastlane, Penn and Teller's Sin City Extravaganza, VH-1 Behind the Music, MTV). They can be found playing everything from large festivals to private parties, small venues to massive stages such as 2005's Live 8 Benefit Concert. Whatever the event, wherever Igor & Red Elvises go, they bring the party with them.

This position will be partly responsible for the collection, analysis, and processing of large amounts of data used either as input or for the validation of our epidemiological models. The input data needed are varied and may include migration data, weather data, genetic sequence data, demographic indicators, socioeconomic indicators, and public health factors. Often times the data sets available for geographic areas of interest will be sparse or will be dispersed across multiple sources. In this case, the research scientist would be responsible for using models to reconstruct more detailed data sets that could represent the actual dynamics.
Joining our group provides unique opportunities to interact with global health policy makers, to collaborate with world-class research laboratories and non-profit organizations, and to contribute to global and national disease eradication strategies.
Our group seeks individuals with demonstrated achievements and a passion for excellence. Our compensation package is in line with this commitment.

Our curriculum is specifically designed to address the current TEKS, ensuring the full range of academic content aligns with the thorough standards required in the formal classroom. Content is delivered in specially designed outdoor classrooms, by high energy and entertaining instructional staff we call Funologists. Sky Ranch Outdoor Education offers students a quality educational experience through:
After years of anecdotal comments from teachers and administrators about the impression this program has had on their students, we contracted with an independent research consultant to quantify the impact of our Outdoor Education program. Partnering with a true Title I school as our test group, we analyzed the STAAR test results of students who failed the District Administered Benchmark Test in January. 78% of the students who were not successful in January on the Benchmark test and attended Sky Ranch before their April STAAR were successful in passing the STAAR test. By contrast, 50% of the students who passed did not attend Sky Ranch before the test. That is a 28% gain on state testing results! Bottom line…it works!

So basically on a very busy forum, like ours is you might receive 10+ emails for the same topic, I understand that for each notification it does send the actual post reply being made but you will read these when you visit the topic again.
On a lot other forums you only receive one email until you visit the topic in question and not concurrent emails notifying of each and every reply, is there a way to set it up this way in the notification settings area?
That's not a feature currently. I have added it to the tracker for possible future implementation 0000961: Smarter topic notifications - ocPortal feature tracker.
It should be possible now for them to change all their topic notifications to weekly digest ones, which should make future automatic ones (setup when they post) to also take on those same settings. Weekly digest notifications do require the scheduler to be configured.

There is no problem with older versions, only with buggy versions. Some debiandoc-sgml version (not the one in woody e.g) produced incorrect output with a lot of package, not just menu, but fortunately this caused only a minor problem. I do not know the exact versions where this problem occured, and probably some others versions had worse problems as well. I was nder the impression that builddeps were not to be used to avoid using buggy packages. Sometime packages with bugs are uploaded, eventually fixed packages are uploaded, but the detail about that belong to the package changelog, not to other packages control files. The only reason I have used versionned builddeps in the first place was to ensure the buildd pick up a fixed version, now the risk is gone, so I have removed it. In the same vein, should I write the complete list of g++ version that are known to misbuild menu on at least one arch ? Cheers, -- Bill. <email@example.com>

(PRWEB) October 23, 2015
As part of its commitment to staying inherently up-to-the-minute, DeskAlerts has just released an updated October edition of its globally used notifications software. The new version features an onset of improved alert lifecycle management features designed to enrich the user experience for both employers and employees. With the busy Christmas period on its way the upgrades come at just the right time to help companies augment efficiency by developing an intelligent internal communications strategies.
This month, the in-house software engineers have focused on handing administrators even more control than ever over notification lifecycles. Drawing on customer feedback and internal research data, the team identified a handful of different areas that could be improved.
Anton Vdovin, DeskAlerts Director says, "To date this year's DeskAlerts updates have been largely oriented around new features and functions relating to notification composition and distribution. There's been little focus on managing the actual alerts themselves which is why we this month we concentrated exclusively on alert lifecycle management."
One of the most advantageous new features is the ability to remotely force alert closures from the notifications server. When logged into dashboards administrators can remotely manage any alerts that are read or pending. When it comes to maximizing employee efficiency the ability to force alert closures from a remote notifications server is hugely constructive. Whether notifications are no longer relevant or were simply sent to the wrong recipient, administrators can log into the DeskAlerts interface and close the offending content in an instant.
Administrators also enjoy augmented flexibility with the ability to schedule alerts closure times. This means that the second an alert is no longer relevant administrators can automatically shut it down without having to lift a finger. For example, an employer can keep an alert active up until a specific meeting date, then have it automatically close when the meeting concludes.
For employers wanting to keep employee desktops clean, uncluttered and relevant, auto closure is a highly advantageous tool. By integrating notifications with automatic closure dates administrators can rest assured that employee desktops won't be overrun with irrelevant notifications that distract them from tasks at hand.
With the busy Christmas holiday season on the horizon the October upgrade is a godsend for businesses wanting to keep corporate plates clean and clutter free.
"The lead up to Christmas is an incredibly busy time for our client base, particularly retail and business oriented enterprises. We understand that work schedules can become all too hectic which is why our October upgrade was built around bringing added convenience and efficiency to the DeskAlerts user experience. Employers enjoy the peace of mind that expired alerts will automatically disappear while employees can get on with tasks without the hassle of having to clear out notifications," adds Vdovin.
To sign up for a free cloud trial of DeskAlerts software, go to: http://www.alert-software.com/demo/
To find out more about DeskAlerts and the improved alert lifecycle management features now available with the October update, visit the website at: http://www.alert-software.com
DeskAlerts is the only alert solution that works in technologically and geographically diverse networks. It is a completely web-based solution that can be used to send desktop alerts and news updates to any employee within your organization, improving communications and productivity with a more efficient communication strategy than traditional email alone.

text: This afternoon i got my itchy hands on a brand new CZ SP-01 Shadow. The Shadow is the latest incarnation of the legendary CZ-75 series which has seen success both in the battlefield as well as international shooting competitions. CZ has built its reputation on rock-solid reliability and no-nonsense design. The Shadow is a worthy posterboy for this criteria. I am by no means a gun expert. I have gone through my share of pistols (more than 20 in the past 3 years) but my opinion may be just as noteworthy as the next guy. For this reason, I have chosen to base my review on a variable (my skill being the constant) that I think will give you a good measure of the CZ's performance. I shot it side by side with my Glock 34. Before we go into the range report, let me start off with my initial impression of the CZ. The first thing that struck me was the heft. It weighs around 2.5 pounds with same balance characteristics of a 1911. This CZ handles very differently from your run-of-the-mill CZ-75 probably because of the added weight of the beefy accessory rail up front and the extra (18round) capacity magazines. Grip angle is spot-on and the fiber-optic front sight drops down between the rear sight blades almost automatically when you raise the gun to eye-level. Slide-frame-barrel fit seems to be bank-vault tight and comparable to many smith tuned guns. It is equipped with the standard DA/SA trigger system which brings me to the first hiccup in my almost perfect assessment of the this pistol. To de-cock the pistol (round chambered, hammer at half-cock) you must manually take control of the hammer and actually squeeze the trigger to get the weapon into half-cock. Now, I can only imagine how many AD's have happened because of this system of decocking. A decocking lever would be much appreciated to safely get the gun into DA mode. If SIG and HK can do it, I'm pretty sure CZ can too. For 1911 shooters, the Shadow offers a manual thumb safety so you can safely carry in condition 1 with the hammer in full-cock position similar to 1911 type pistols. Remember though that the thumb safety is all that stands between you and the 2-3 pound SA trigger pull. There is no grip safety available. This is irrelevant to me, though, because I've never carried a 1911 and have never been a fan of external safeties anyway. I would carry this gun with one in the pipe, decocked. The double action first shot weighs in at a very smooth 6-8 pounds while SA is around 2 pounds. Another advantage of the double action system , I just realized, is the 2nd strike capability. If ever you get a misfire, all you have to do is pull the trigger again to give the round in the chamber another chance before you TRB (tap-rack-bang.) Ok. Off to the range. I took a few boxes of Magtech 124gr. FMJ's to test the CZ. The same ammo was used in my Glock34. I chose this ammo because: 1. I had a lot of it and 2. It closely simulates the recoil of my carry load. First thing I noticed was how light the felt recoil was and how easy the front sight returned to my point of aim after every shot. My instructor, Bien, attributes this to the relatively light slide mass of the CZ. The slide does look small compared to a Glock or 1911 slide. This means there's less momentum going back and the slide is much quicker to return to battery after every shot. My double tap splits were much faster on the CZ than on my Glock. Firing from single action on this pistol is dangerously addicting and i had to tape up my target every 5 shots because my heads were going into 1 ragged hole at 10m. Now, it's not in my system to test new guns just by standing straight and firing into paper. I ran some short IDPA drills with both the CZ and Glock after which my initial predictions were confirmed. I shot just a bit better with the CZ than the Glock. I want to say "a lot better" but my tests were a bit too confined to be 100% conclusive. Please note that this is my first time shooting the CZ and I've been shooting Glocks for 3 years. Anyway, see for yourselves: Double taps/ Glock34 / 7m. / from ready position Double taps/ Shadow / 7m. / from ready position All in all, the CZ SP-01 Shadow is an excellent firearm both for defense and especially for competition. It's a bit on the large and heavy side for concealed carry but nothing that a good holster can solve. It is priced along side a lot of imported 1911's and well above the price range of the more common production pistols. I'm not writing this off as a bad point though because I believe that CZ has given us a gun well worth its suggested retail price. You get custom features and performance without the trips to the gunsmith.

Arsenal stars play football darts and it looks like so much fun (Video)
Football Darts
Have you ever heard of football darts? Three Arsenal stars were lucky enough to play it recently in a promotional exercise for Cooper Tires. Midfielder Granit Xhaka, winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and goalkeeper Petr Čech went head-to-head in the new-fangled sport. Starting the game with a score of 301, the players aim the 'dart balls' (footballs) at the giant dartboard in a race to zero, and the chance to be named Cooper's Football Darts champion.
With the World Darts Championship sweeping the nation, it seems like a good time for this exercise. Bravo, Cooper Tires. Professional darts referee George Noble was on hand to officiate as well as commentate. Petr Cech was the most accurate and tactical. The Ox kept going for the bullseye. Rookie move.
Watch proceedings unfold in the video below.
Arsenal return to winning ways
The Gunners bounced back from a 3-3 draw at Bournemouth with a 2-1 win at Preston North End in the FA Cup. The win wasn't without its scares. The underdogs took the lead and Olivier Giroud left it late to score the winner.

Review for Town & Country Toyota Body Shop
Mac B. on 04/28/2014
Mac said once the process got going, he was very impressed with the service. When he called to confirm his appointment, the business had no record of the parts needed being ordered. He had to wait an additional three days for the parts to arrive. He waited 20 minutes before anyone greeted him. His was told that the issue his vehicle had was common, so he asked why he was paying for it and why it was not a manufacturers recall.

Taylor Wessing storms ahead of PEP predictions" />The UK end of Taylor Wessing has posted a 28 per cent rise in average profit per equity partner (PEP), becoming the latest mid-market firm to break the £500,000 barrier for partner remuneration.
PEP in the UK last year rose from £404,000 to £510,000. Fee income also increased by double percentage points, up by 15 per cent to £79m.
UK managing partner Michael Frawley said the results in 2005-06 were due partly to a strong performance by the corporate group and also employment, the firm's biggest single area of growth. Headline deals for the corporate group included advising private equity partnership Rutland Partners on the £125m sale of Carron Energy and pub group Avebury Holdings on its £219m sale to Punch Taverns.
Finance, projects and private client also had a good year, Frawley added, with turnover up by around 20 per cent in each. Finance in particular was successful in its targeting of banks, with its reappointment to the Lloyds TSB panel being one of the highlights of the year. "I said when I became managing partner that I was expecting our PEP to be over £500,000 in two and half
years," said Frawley. "We've managed to do it in 18 months."
Overall, the most significant area of growth was in internally generated work, Frawley said. Cross-referrals between the UK, Paris and German offices rose by 45 per cent in the last financial year.

Ok Ken (and David). As much as I hate to make you guys famous or even respond to you directly. We all die one day and you're old so fuck it. Yea yea my 2013 performance at the Grammys was absolute shit. Technical difficulties, blah blah. Thanks for the reminder. Very much appreciated. Fuck that performance though. You think that's why I kept my work out of the Grammy process this year? Don't you think I would've wanted to play the show to 'redeem' myself if I felt that way? In reality, I actually wanted to participate in honoring Prince on the show but then I figured my best tribute to that man's legacy would be to continue to be myself out here and to be successful. Winning a TV award doesn't christen me successful. It took me some time to learn that. I bought all my masters back last year in the prime of my career, that's successful. Blonde sold a million plus without a label, that's successful. I am young, black, gifted and independent.. that's my tribute. I've actually been tuning into CBS around this time of year for a while to see who gets the top honor and you know what's really not 'great TV' guys? 1989 getting album of the year over To Pimp A Butterfly. Hands down one of the most 'faulty' TV moments I've seen. Believe the people. Believe the ones who'd rather watch select performances from your program on YouTube the day after because your show puts them to sleep. Use the old gramophone to actually listen bro, I'm one of the best alive. And if you're up for a discussion about the cultural bias and general nerve damage the show you produce suffers from then I'm all for it. Have a good night.
anonymous asked:
I know it's stupid, but I feel like such a terrible fan. You're my favourite YouTuber and yet I will never be able to draw amazing fanart, I will never have a popular blog dedicated to you, I will never meet you, I doubt you'll even reply to this. The best I can do is watch your videos and on the one hand that's great, I love your videos! But on the other, I just wish I could do something to show my appreciation.

NABCI Launches New Web site
The U.S North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI) Committee is a forum of government agencies, private organizations, and bird initiatives helping partners across the continent meet their common bird conservation objectives.
The US NABCI partnership recently released a newly designed website, an easy-to-navigate site that both provides information on the US NABCI Committee, as well as directs members of the bird conservation community to information about national-level bird conservation partnerships and resources.
The new site's Resources section features a searchable Resources Directory with links to national bird conservation partnerships and bird plans, as well as resources on human dimensions, land and resource management, communications, and more. Our main Resources page also directs users to other compilations of bird conservation resources. This section also includes a description of Bird Conservation Regions as well as a map of BCRs in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
Also new on the site is a general section on the bird conservation community with an explanatory infographic that depicts some of the connections within US bird conservation. The site highlights several national bird partnerships and provides an overview of the 2015 Bird Partnership Workshop that sparked new collaborations and conversations within the bird conservation community.
The majority of NABCI's work is done through Subcommittees, which are featured in our "How we Work" section along with some additional partnership work. To address that age-old question of "What is NABCI, anyway?" the organization has developed a more streamlined set of pages that document some of NABCI's history, provide a home for NABCI's meeting materials and governance documents, and provide a general overview of how NABCI is working towards integrated bird conservation.
As part of the transition to a more streamlined and user-friendly online presence for the US NABCI Committee, our All-Bird Bulletin, formerly a biannual PDF publication with each issue's content aligned with a theme important to the bird community, will now be distributed as a bi-monthly blog. These blogs, still called the All-Bird Bulletin, will still focus on 3-4 themes per year but will now provide more frequent highlights by our partners of topics of interest.

BLU Products might not be there at the very top of the smartphone makers list, but it has made a name for itself by outing affordable alternatives for your mobile needs. And here it is again with yet another entry, the BLU Studio 6.0 HD, this time for the giant phablet category.
The BLU Studio 6.0 HD might be big in size and name, but don't expect big features that you'd find in similar-sized models from other brands. But first, let's try to look at its good sides. The 6-inch screen might be a bit debatable but it is large enough to hit things with even the biggest finger. And at least is has a resolution of 1280×720, just enough for those HD videos. You have a rather decent amount of RAM at 1 GB, which is the usual size you'd find in mid-tier smartphones. On the back you have an 8 megapixel shooter, with a 2 megapixel camera on the front. The 3000 mAh battery will most likely keep the device running for a good while before rushing for a power outlet.
There are definitely areas where BLU cut some corners. The 1.3 GHz quad-core MediaTek processor was probably chosen to keep costs down, which might not sit well with Qualcomm believers. Internal data storage is capped at a very low 4 GB, something you probably don't expect in a huge smartphone like this. It also runs an older Android 4.2.2 which adds to Android fragmentation. And finally, it has no support for 4G LTE, but can at least work on the fastest 3G network technologies.
Balancing out all these pros and cons, however, is the price tag, which comes at only $250. It will definitely be a bargain if you're in the market for a large, cheap, unlocked device and wouldn't mind putting a large slab near your ear when making or taking a phone call. The BLU Studio 6.0 HD is slated too arrive on Amazon's catalog next month.

So we were up in the city during the weekend and I had to try some Pho of course. But since PB and Chloe didn't wanna eat the same as I , I ordered a take out from I Love Pho located at Bedford Highway. It was a small restaurant but very cozy and the girl who took my order was really nice. I would definitely go back and eat there while the food is nice and in a bowl coz' it was hard to eat in a take out bowl as they gave me a lot of food.
I ordered the Pho with everything in eat , stripes , beef and beef balls. The noodles were al – dente and the soup were placed separately in case you lived a long drive away. I was hoping the soup would be more robust but it wasn't , probably because I wasn't dining in and couldn't add in all the condiments that they had provided.
Overall, I do loved it , I even went back after my dinner to get some Vietnamese desserts and it was so yummy ! you will see me again I Love Pho.

Property Appreciation of HUDA GOVT FLATS
Every Home buyers or investor think first what is the future of there property after 5 to 10 years,
Expected return will be in Affordable Housing will aprox. 200- 300 % in Gurgaon.
Reason are give below.
Normally we going for buying 2 BHK in Gurgaon in Original booking or Resale . We have no options below 60 lac to 70 Lac (any where in Gurgaon). and for purchasing these 60- 70 lac homes, a buyer need minimum 20 % self funding which will be 15 Lac aprox. and generally for 80 % will go to Bank for home loan.
Means he will take 45 lac to 55 Lac amount as home loan. and after possession he will pay aprox 50000- 60000/- per month home loan EMI.
Today if the house value is 60 – 70 lac for 2 BHK, in next 5 years the value will be aprox 90 lac- 1 cr.
If a normal house cost will be 90 lac to 1 cr after 5 years than affordable house cost will be half price that time.

Photography Reflectors — Subtractive Lighting
The Black Reflector
In the beginning of the "Photography Reflectors" series of articles, we talked about several fabrics used with the California Sunbounce system of reflectors, silver, white, gold and zebra. Most photographers usually think about these types of reflector fabrics, but seasoned veteran photographers also know the importance of black fabric reflectors.
Black reflectors reflect approximately ten percent of the light that strikes them, or in other words, they subtract up to ninety percent of the light aimed in their direction. Some photographers even use black reflectors to "block" light, known as cutting (cutters) or flagging (flags) light sources. Because of the disproportional imbalance between subtracting and reflecting light, this is also why black reflectors are more commonly called a flag or cutter.
This switch in terminology when it comes to labeling a black reflector is because of it's absorption, or subtraction of light. So let's look at how this reflector is so unique in helping a photographer by adding light while also subtracting light. The black material is reflecting black-toned light back onto the subject, which is a technique I like to use in my photography, especially when working with blonde hair or light colored clothing outfits on a model.
Think of it like the "v-flats" used in a studio, basically two, 4-foot by 8-foot foam core boards gaffer taped on their longest sides to form a "V" when standing tall. These are great tools for a photographer working with high-key elements, such as a wedding photographer photographing a bride in a white wedding dress. The photographer would place a v-flat on each side of the bride as close to her as possible while keeping the v-flats out of the camera frame.
This technique is also possible with four California Sunbounce Pro, black fabric reflectors. While obviously v-flats are less expensive than four reflectors, the point was to illustrate how the technique works—but on location, say a beach, it's impracticable to carry two v-flats (four, 4-foot by 8-foot, thin foam core boards), especially if it's windy, thus this is where a professional photographer would use California Sunbounce Pro black reflectors. The v-flat studio technique is possible with just two portable reflectors, one on each side of your subject, though four make it a replication of the v-flat studio system.
In fact, for a little variety, the photographer can place a silver, gold or white reflector more behind the subject while using the black reflector in the front of the subject. Thus this would create subtraction from say that same bridal gown, while allowing for backlighting accents on the bride. The photographer can still reflect a main light onto their subject, either with another reflector like a silver or zebra reflector, or even with a portable flash.
This is a unique balance of light, subtracting light from the highlights and in the case of the white dress, also reflecting back in some middle tones from the black reflector, while adding a "punch" to the bride's skin tone and even the eyes from the lighter reflectors.
Black reflectors also work great with blonde haired subjects, as photographers will expose for the subject's skin tone, usually darker than blonde hair. By using a black reflector, like the California Sunbounce Mini or Micro near the hair of your subject, the photographer will capture a more balanced overall exposure ensuring that hair will not have blown out highlights.
These techniques reference the 90-percent rule, which states that pure black will absorb 90-percent of the light that strikes it while pure white will reflect 90-percent of the light that strikes it. Keeping this rule in mind, anything toward the white-side of the scale is reflecting more light than anything toward the middle or black tones. Thus blonde hair, especially platinum blonde hair, will always reflect more light than normal skin tones—the human eye corrects this and balances it out but digital cameras do not, they reproduce the hair brighter, or slightly overexposed than the skin.
Again, if on location, especially outdoors, v-flats or black foam core boards are impractical with their inability to collapse for portability during transport, and their ability to collapse with wind during the shoot. The California Sunbounce system is made of collapsible frames designed as lightweight and portable, made of strong aluminum plus their cross bars are designed to attach a grip-head that secures the frame to a sandbagged light stand.
If I attach the grip head to an arm mounted on a C-stand, then there is even more flexibility to maneuver the black reflectors around the top of the model, closer to her hair. The concept here is to place the panels just slightly above the camera frame, thus adding 10-percent black, this technique was similar to what I used to photograph Playboy Playmate Holley Dorrough for the cover of my first book, Garage Glamour, Digital Nude and Beauty Photography Made Simple (Amherst, 2006).
While many professional photographers will call black panels of various materials flags, or cutters, I like to think of them as reflectors that can also subtract light when needed, so it's not unusual to find the silver, gold, white, zebra and black fabrics in my lighting gear bag for my California Sunbounc reflectors. With that I close, and as always, I ask you not to forget the men and women serving in the military to protect our freedoms. God Bless them, their families and friends, Rolando.

Strava on mounted IPhone with HRM on screen real time?
Hi. Im new to road cycling. More of a MTBKer. So I have two bikes now. Starting to train for triathlons. I have no cycling computer on my bikes but looking into getting something with HRM. That being said I always carry my IPhone with me so why not use it right! If you are using your smartphone as a cycling computer I am looking for some info.
So Strava is compatible with Wahoo fitness HR. Question, does strava app on the IPhone show real time HR, speed and distance on screen while riding?
Is there a slick waterproof mounting bracket for IPhone 4s to mount it on the bike? I have seen some huge brackets but I would like a more professional look a la Garmin.
The girl uses a Lifeproof case and the accompanying brackets for her iPhone on the stem. It's fairly bulky, but it's an iPhone.
I thought iPhones could only be mounted on fixed gears and then only if the front brake was removed...
+1 for Lifeproof case and stem mount. Water proof and way to go. I run cycle meter app works great, have not tried HR as I use Bont Node as well. Would go with Garmin 810 if no need phone but I'm on call 24/7 so need phone.
I'm looking for something more like this. Slick BUT waterproof.
Rokform Smartphone Bike Mounts
As for real time I meant real time data on screen for speed HR and distance not real time upload. As long as I can see what HR is at, my speed is at and the distance I'm at.
I just did this exact setup. Strava will show elapsed time, average speed, distance and heart rate in real time. I also use the Wahoo speed and cadence sensor and Strava does not show cadence. It records it but doesn't show it. So I have been using the Wahoo fitness app which shows everything and then upload that data to Strava after the workout. The Strava upload is built into the Wahoo app. I just downloaded Cyclemeter which was mentioned before and that app looks pretty good too. But the Wahoo fitness app is free and pretty much shows everything you need and includes multiple screens for different data.
Nice! What do you use for mounting your phone? Waterproof?
Mounts similarly to Garmin mounts. Might not be as solid as Rokforms, which I believe are the most solid bike mounts out there right now, but it does come with a "rain resistant cover" they call the Poncho. Basically a clear cover covering the top and sides of the phone/case.
I use my iPhone too. I run Strava and Cyclometer both. I prefer Strava because it's easier to track my progress from ride to ride but I run Cyclometer as well because it works with my Polar Bluetooth HRM. And because Cyclometer also updates me via voice as I ride, giving me time, clock, current and average speed, heart rate, distance and if I'm doing a repeat ride, how I'm doing vis-a-vis my best time. I keep one earpiece in and tuck the phone in my jersey pocket, wrapped in plastic. My old Polar is on my handlebars but it basically only displays my cadence and my heartrate and if it's bright outside, it's realy hard to see.
For those of you that have your IPhone mounted on your handle bars, do you find it hard to see the display screen while riding on sunny days?
Not really. But you need to be careful looking at it when you ride - easy to swerve when your line of sight changes.
The other thing to think about is battery life. Using the screen up with an app may drain the battery fairly quickly, so you may want to look into a pack or mount that includes an extra power source.
I had the same setup, and it worked very well. (For other reasons I went to a Garmin 305 watch, and kept the phone in the saddle bag)
fyi almost all of the fitness apps will allow data interchange using gpx files. It can be a little clunky, but it works
Yea! I'm debating this IPhone setup or Edge 510 with HRM. The Garmin is twice the price but slick and completely waterproof. Still undecided.
As for battery life, I use my phone all the time while alpine skiing with a similar app as Strava. I turn data roaming, WiFi off and it lasts all day with lots of battery life left. I don't think a few hours on my bike will drain it. Testing will confirm that I guess. I will download Strava for skiing this weekend and test the battery life while skiing.
The RFLKT/RFLKT+ fills the gap between a mounted iPhone and a Garmin, for those who would rather use their existing iPhone and apps instead of going with one of the Garmins. The "+" version supports ANT devices (HR monitor, speed/cadence, etc.) in addition to Bluetooth, for those so inclined. As always, YMMV.
