KTM's long-awaited, all-new 1290 Super Duke is finally being put through its paces at the world press launch in Spain by MCN Senior Road Tester Adam Child.

KTM dominate off-road sport with over 200 world championships under their belt. And they dominate because every year, without fail, the Austrian manufacturer makes its bikes better, sometimes incrementally, sometimes substantially. This year their primary focus has been the 250EXC-F, the enduro for the everyman. Already the undisputed class leader, with a new motor KTM has just made it quantifiably ...

The last couple of months haven't been easy. I've seen my colleagues at MCN come bouncing into the office having received their long term test bikes for the year. I however have been forced to do my commute up the A1 in a people carrier, which as the weather has improved has become increasingly soul destroying. But, today that all ...

The production version of KTM's eagerly awaited, all-new 1190 Adventure is currently being put through its paces in Tenerife by MCN's Michael Guy. He's so far ridden about 120km on a mixture of windy mountain passes and town roads. Here are his first impressions: "The overwhelming first impression is the new 1190cc engine: it's significantly stronger and bears no comparison ...

King of serious off-road, KTM, has BMW's mighty GS firmly in it's sights with the new 1190 Adventure. The Austrian manufacturer has played to its strengths, focusing on ergonomics, agility, light weight and performance using a V-twin from the RC8R superbike. It's a big step forward from the go-anywhere KTM 990, but can it win a bigger slice of the ...

After 2000 miles with the new KTM 690 Duke, MCN's Liam Marsden gives us a quick update on his year so far. The Duke is spot on for commuting and hammering down twisty country roads, where bigger, more powerful bikes would struggle. If you want a pure, no-nonsense bike, the 690 Duke should be top of your list. brightcove.createExperiences();

If this KTM Adventure 990 looks familiar then that's entirely deliberate – but this is no limited edition 'Dakar' version, as debuted last Spring, nor the full-blown 'R' version – it's the standard 2012 Adventure which, like its R brother, boasts a host of modifications and improvements for this year, before an all-new model is expected in 2014.

Bow Cross in Tower Hamlets has received a CABE Building for Life Silver Standard. At Bow Cross we are working with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and Swan Housing Group to regenerate a neglected high-rise housing estate and create a vibrant mixed-tenure community. This is the eleventh Building for Life Standard that the Group holds including a sector leading four Golds and now seven Silvers.
CABE said "Bow Cross successfully stitches a difficult site back into the neighbourhood and contributes positively to a neglected area."
On completion in 2014, three tower blocks will have been completely refurbished, semi-derelict podia garages and houses will be demolished, and more than 600 high quality mixed tenure homes will have been built. The Bow Cross development will also enjoy newly constructed transport links, landscaped public and private gardens with secure car parking. Located in an exceptionally convenient location for transport links the Bow Cross development will attract a diverse mix of occupants and give the entire area a renewed sense of community.
The existing estate suffers from residents only being able to access the buildings via elevated walkways which are above very poorly maintained public open spaces with the estate dissected by a covered railway link. Using contemporary design principles, including a 'Very Good' EcoHomes rating, and sympathetically tackling the problems of noise, day lighting, and visual continuance, the new Bow Cross development will be a long-term solution to the estate's regeneration.

Eye floaters |
Eye floaters are spots in your vision. Eye floaters may look like black or gray specks, strings or cobwebs that drift about when you move your eyes.
Most eye floaters are caused by age-related changes that occur as the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside your eyes becomes more liquid. When this happens, microscopic fibers within the vitreous tend to clump together and can cast tiny shadows on your retina, which you may see as eye floaters.
If you notice a sudden increase in the number of eye floaters, contact an eye specialist immediately — especially if you also see flashes of light or lose your peripheral vision. These can be symptoms of an emergency that requires prompt attention.

In the areas audited, the overall performance was Fair.
Jefferson City, Mo. – State Auditor Tom Schweich released the audit of the Missouri Governor's office today. In the areas audited, the overall performance of this entity was Fair. Gov. Nixon continues to ignore advice given to him by state auditors of both political parties regarding operating costs for personnel and wasteful travel expenses. Nixon spent more than $602,000 on travel expenses paid for by the taxpayers for himself and his staff. From January 2009 to June 2011, approximately $1.7 million of the governor's office expenses were charged to and paid from appropriations of other state agencies. The governor's office would have spent more than its appropriation in each of the three fiscal years audited had other agencies not picked up the tab. Fourteen agencies funded all or part of the salaries for several employees of the governor's office for a total of $770,000, and the Office of Administration (OA) paid $32,000 to compensate an "advisor on education" to the governor. OA employees do not separately account for and report the time spent performing tasks for the governor's office and mansion. In the first 30 months of the current administration's tenure, employees of the governor's office flew 334 days on state planes, costing approximately $565,000, 96 percent of which was paid by various state agencies. State agencies also paid approximately $37,000 for other travel expenses for employees of the governor's office and various other operating expenses of the governor's office totaling approximately $406,000. This situation has been noted in previous reports from Auditor Schweich and his Democrat predecessor. The governor's office does not evaluate whether commercial flights would be more economical than state planes for out-of-state trips. Flight costs for 19 out-of-state flights totaled approximately $92,800, which included $15,630 for wait time costs and $8,570 for pilot expense. The governor's office could have saved approximately $15,500 if individuals had flown commercial flights on two trips to Washington D.C. Hotel charges exceeded recommended rates per state policy, meal charges exceeded per diem rates, and airline tickets were not purchased at least 21 days before the flight. One employee, domiciled in St. Louis, stayed at a hotel in Jefferson City approximately 150 nights at a cost of almost $12,000 when more economic alternatives existed.

Goodbye Lipton's Soup Mix...
Hello Carmelized Onion Dip from fresh onions!
I don't know about you, but I adore onion dip.
It's a guilty pleasure, however.
Having grown-up in the era of 70's convenience foods like Shake-n-Bake, Hamburger Helper and Stauffer's Cream Chipped Beef, I just feel a little uneasy about opening a pouch and mixing it into something wholesome.
With this great recipe from Jefferson Hill Vineyard & Guest House's Maxine Bryant, I can hold my head high when bringing onion dip to the next family gathering.
Caramelized Onion Dip
4 medium yellow onions
4 T. butter
4 T. Canola oil
1 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. black pepper
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. good quality mayonnaise
Cut the onions in half vertically. Slice the halves into thin half-rounds. You should have about 3 cups of onions.
Heat the butter and canola oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper and sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and
cook onions until they are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.
Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Place mixture in a mixing bowl. Add the
onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings.
Serve at room temperature with a tray of fresh vegetables

Good product. Great for throwing in your gym bag or even for traveling. I don't need to use extra product and my hair looks and feels soft.
I ordered this product after trying the sample. The smell was just so wonderful. It makes my hair silky and soft.
This product made my hairy oily as if I hadn't showered. I have naturally oily hair, but Thetis only enhanced it.
I love this conditioner - this is coming from a shampoo and conditioner junkie! I have fine hair somewhat thin and I have to be careful with products that might weigh my hair down. This conditioner did not do this! I will be purchasing this through Birchbox!
I am always looking for a detangling conditioner to use in between mask treatments. I have long, dry, highlighted hair that almost impossible to get a brush through wet. This does a great job of detangling and smells amazing, something coconuty. It sinks in really well and the coconut smell stays after you've rinsed which I love. My only wish is that the bottle was a bit larger, it is only 8oz and I went through an entire bottle in less than a month. It's pricey for the amount of product you get.
I have tried every conditioner out there and I have to say that this is the best. You can feel it detangle as you are putting it in your wet hair. It leaves my color-treated and damaged hair feeling soft and silky with a ton of shine. It works great with the shampoo as well.
I am a low maintenance kind of girl when it comes to my hair. Wash, conditioner, brush and go. But, this conditioner made such a difference in my hair. It was shininer and bouncier. I purchased the full size right away and am never going back.
This is the best conditioner I have ever used. It smells fantastic and keeps my hair from getting frizzy. I love it!
When I first tried this product, I was taken aback by the texture - it doesn't make your hair feel silky as you apply it, but once you rinse your hair out, your hair is instantly smooth and silky. I also like that you only need a little bit (dime sized dollop for my fine hair).
I did not care for this conditioner at all. My hair is very thin and fine, and it made it greasy and unmanageable. It almost felt more like a thickening agent (when you put way too much in) than a conditioner. Would not recommend to those with fine hair.

When you upload an image to your blog post, WordPress gives you the option of resizing the image into 3 different sizes: a thumbnail size, a medium size and a large size. And of course you have the fourth option which is the full size. If you choose the thumbnail size, WordPress will automatically resize the image to the default thumbnail size. But what if the default thumbnail size doesn't suit your blog? What if you have a special blog design and the default size of the thumbnail makes the image look larger or smaller than it should be?
You have two choices in this case. The first one is to resize the image manually using the default image editor you find on WordPress. The problem with this solution is that you have to resize every time you upload an image. That will surely waste your time and energy. The second solution is the one I am going to show you today. It is to change the default image sizes to suit your blog structure.

Tough IP™ Li-ion 21.6-volt 3.1Ah Cordless 1/2" Drill and Driver Kit
For heavier drilling/driving jobs in plumbing, electrical and general construction work Electricians, plumbers, finish carpenters and general construction professionals sometimes need a tool that's built extra tough because their jobs require the power to repetitively make holes through wood or metal. The Panasonic EY7460LZ2S (EY7460X tool only) ½" drill and driver kit is built to take on the tough, repetitive tasks. The 21.6-volt, 3.1Ah tool delivers up to 575 in.-lbs. of full-time torque in low speed. Its new all-metal gear system is much more resilient than the plastic gears found in other professional-level tools. It can take the strain and stress of switching between high and low gears and so it lasts longer and requires fewer repairs. The motor's fan design cools the tool, even under repetitive, high-power jobs. The variable speed allows workers to ease into drilling and fastening tasks for greater accuracy and less work surface damage. At only 9-1/8" long x 10-1/16" tall x 2-15/16" wide and 5.39 lbs. including battery, the tool can easily drill up to 1-1/2"-diameter holes in wood, or ½"-diameter holes in metal, or drive 3/8"-diameter wood screws or ¼"-diameter self-drilling screws. Its durable two-speed transmission allows workers to match drilling speed and power to the job. In low, it produces 100-400 rpm; in high, it produces 350-1,500 rpm. The 18-stage clutch can be set to engage from 8.8-61.0 in.-lbs. of torque in 3.0 in.-lbs. increments so the turning force can be fine-tuned to the job at hand. The tool has a built-in LED light that illuminates the bit and hole location, and an electric brake prevents drill run-on after the trigger has been released. The heavy-duty keyless chuck makes bit changes easy, yet holds securely during drilling and fastening operations.
Tough and long-lasting battery packs
The tool, powered by Panasonic's 3.1Ah 21.6-volt Cobalt "Z" Li-ion battery pack. It is designed to deliver high output with low heat generation, providing twice the lifetime total performance vs. current Ni-Cd battery packs. The kit comes with the EY0L81B charger and two 21.6-volt battery packs. Using the supplied charger, the battery can be charged to a usable level in 55 minutes and fully charged in 70 minutes.
Tough tools for tough conditions
The EY7460LZ2S/EY7460X ½" drill and driver kit has an IP56 rating that proves the tool's toughness claims. This rating means the tool has withstood demanding laboratory tests of working in extremely dusty work environments and the effects of water getting sprayed on the tool by powerful jets. In the field, it assures professional tradesmen have a tool that can stand up to the rigors of hard jobsite use. The IP rating is established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is outlined in IEC 60529. The standard outlines a coding system that indicates the degree of protection an electrical machine's enclosure offers internal components. Based on objective testing, it assigns a rating to the enclosure's ability to keep potentially damaging solid foreign objects (dust and contaminants) and water out of the tool under increasingly difficult conditions. The dust protection test subjects the tool to a very dusty environment and then puts it to work to assure the tool was unaffected by dust exposure. In the grueling test, the tool proved that it achieved a dust protection level of five out of six levels; the sixth level is for dust-tight tools. It's a good indication that the tool's design keeps potentially harmful contaminants out, assuring long life and top performance that construction or maintenance professionals demand. Similarly, the water protection test put the tool up against increasing levels of water exposure. It attained a six out of eight levels rating, withstanding the effects of powerful water jets. Whether it's extremely dust work conditions or work in damp or wet locations, users will appreciate a tool that will keep working when others would likely fail. Consult the safety and operating instructions for more information.

GRAPEVINE - Police say a North Texas man has been charged with not helping two teenage friends who died after alleged drug and alcohol overdoses at his home.
Grapevine police Sgt. Robert Eberling says 22-year-old Cullen Marino faces two counts of criminally negligent homicide. Marino was being held Monday in the Grapevine City Jail on $10,000 bond.
Counselors are available at Southlake Carroll Senior High School following the deaths of 17-year-old Kyle McNutt and 18-year-old Chase Nunez.
Police believe the Grapevine youths became unconscious after using alcohol and drugs Friday night and Marino carried them to a bedroom. Marino's father call 911 after finding the victims unresponsive Saturday. The teens were dead when paramedics arrived.
Toxicology results are pending.
Jail records did not list an attorney for Marino, who was arrested Sunday.

(AP) -- The St. Louis Rams are getting healthier on offense heading into the second half of the season, with wide receiver Danny Amendola and tackle Rodger Saffold likely back from injuries this week and center Scott Wells returning to practice for the first time since the opener.
That's good news for a unit returning from its bye week anxious to top its seven-point output in a wipeout loss to the Patriots in London.
But just in time for a stiff test in San Francisco, which is allowing an NFL-low 12.9 points a game and is No. 2 in total defense at 271 yards per game.
Amendola remains the team leader with 32 receptions and 395 yards even after missing three games with a collarbone injury.
Saffold has missed six games with a third-degree right MCL strain and Wells broke his left foot in the opener.

I just got a used leaking 150g 72"x18"x29" (182.88cm x 45.72cm x 71.12cm) that I am going to reseal soon and build a stand for. Currently this looks like it will be my future Madagascar or Asian cichlid tank and certainly gives me a lot more options than a 75g would!
So, what could I keep that would work in there and not hybridize? I was thinking a species from Ptychochromis, Katria katria, and maybe Paratilapia polleni/bleekeri or a species of Paretroplus that is locally available or maybe Etroplus maculatus.
Saying all that a large group say around 15 Etroplus maculatus woudl look great also
I find they all get along great but do realise that when the Paretroplus get larger i may have to thin them out.
sidguppy wrote:
careful with this. everyone I spoke about Paretroplus told me this: the Paretroplus species from the Damba group -the ones that look most like marine surgeonfish- are all peaceful in a large group and vicious in a small group.
the Damba group includes macomandia, dambabe, menarambo, maculatus etc.
I have the same experience. I've seen some fairly nasty fighting, but since I have 11 P maculatus, the agression is diluted. fights don't last long and once a "looser" hides in the group the agressor seems to loose interest instead of following through.
because of this I actually plan to enlarge my group, not thin them out.
Zigster, I know you're UK based. no Katria breeders in the UK currently?
Marduk wrote:I'm likely going to go with Ptychochromis sp, and one Paretroplus sp. for now.
With the Paretoplus, are there any particular species that you guys would recommend? I don't want to keep anything rare or expensive just yet, and nothing that won't let the Ptychochromis get their chance to breed every so often.
sidguppy wrote:can't tell you much about the nourissatti, except that it's even more rare in Europe then Katria and that it's very hard to match a pair; the intraspecific agression goes through the roof with this species when it matures.
you might ask about the nourissatti on here:
or pm Michael Negrini. he's on this forum as well.
but I think if you want to start with Paretroplus, a group of maculatus, menarambo or kieneri would be a really nice start.
Ptychochromis and Paretroplus mix just fine.

Barry student is victim of 'racist attack' in Blackpool
7:50am Thursday 27th September 2012 in News By Sharon Harris
A BARRY student has spoken of his disgust, after he was left battered and bruised after an alleged racist incident while on a trip to Blackpool.
Sammi Assayed, whose father was born in Jordan, visited the famous seaside resort at the weekend - and claims he was subjected to derogatory comments and, on his second night out at a club, beaten up by a group of young men.
The 20-year-old, who is studying public service at Cardiff & Vale College to further his ambitions of joining the police force, said he was advised not to report the matter by club staff.
Sammi said: "I was told that if I left it, it would die down, but at the moment of the attack the club did not do much with medical help - all they did was record my bruises on a piece of paper.
"They did not even offer a taxi. "I had gone to Blackpool for the weekend as I was told it was a good place to visit, but never have I met with such racism."
Sammi said that on his first night in the resort, he and a friend were dancing at a club 'minding their own business'.
"I started dancing with a girl, when all of a sudden she refused to dance with me and walked outside for a smoke," he said.
"I asked if I had done anything wrong, and she simply looked at me and said 'I don't dance with people of your kind - I advise you to leave and go somewhere else or my friends will beat you up'."
He said the next evening at another club, he helped a woman pay her entrance fee - she thanked him and asked where he was from, and then made a derogatory and racist comment.
"I ignored the comment and later went to another club," said Sammi.
"I went to the smoking area, and there was a group of men aged around 20 to 25.
"One guy stopped talking and said 'it's Asif'.
"I said 'who's Asif?', and he replied 'Asif you're British'. "Then he said 'you're all the same, you terrorist (using racist words first), go blow something up and get out my country'.
"I told him 'I'm Welsh, born in Wales and my mother is Welsh', but he replied 'even worse - you're all the same'."
Sammi claims the group then assaulted him, punching and kicking while shouting racist abuse. "They then walked off," he said.
"I told the security guard but the bouncer simply went to the boys and asked them nicely to leave."
Sammi says that he and his friend were left shaken by the whole incident.
"I am shocked," he said.
"I have lived in Wales all my life and welcomed English people as brothers in Wales, and made them feel welcome, and not once have I been given a racial comment.
"I am disgusted that there are still such small-minded people around."

Halfway home and time to take a breath
Halfway home?!?!?!?
Yeah, we are.
We'll have lots more specific stuff in this piece I have to write from the comfort of Casa Doug tonight while the lads are frolicking in southern Florida but you've all noticed, I'm sure, that we're 41 games through an 82-game regular season.
Anyway, where are they?
Short story would be that they are slightly behind where I though they'd be, maybe two or three wins in the standings, but other than that?
Awful close.
There's been growth of the kids, everyone's doing pretty much what I thought they'd do – the injuries have, of course, cut into that a little bit – and if you were listening all fall, the fact they might still climb into a situation where they are playing significant games in April with a hope of grabbing maybe the final post-season slot means they are pretty much heading in the direction they should be.
Yeah, there have been disappointments (and we'll get more into them as I start typing a far bigger look at the team for tomorrow's paper) and a few rocky stretches (seems eons ago everyone was supposed to get fired when we landed back in Toronto from Portland, doesn't it?) but, all in all, the season's unfolded pretty much as we expected.
What I can't get over is that it's halfway through. This has been as busy a first 2 1-2 months as I can remember; hopefully the second half unfolds at a much easier pace.
That'd be nice, no?
At no point, ever, do I want to hear a hockey fan whine about greedy owners or ungrateful players who spit in the eye of supporters, arena workers, support staff and any number of others.
Not after those same people who moaned and criticized all through the lock out and then came back wallet in hand to fill arenas the first chance they had to give their money to the same people who took money away from so many innocent workers during the four-month lockout.
Shameful and never again will I, or should you, believe anyone who says anything like "I'm done with this sport."
You never know what's going to pop up on the old iTunes shuffle some days. It's like a box of musical chocolates, isn't it?
This is on there, a quick google look to learn a bit more and maybe find another tune or something and, voila!, this is the anniversary of Sam Cooke's birth.
Let's dance!
We should start early since there's the odd Saturday night game this week and mail is going to have to be Saturday morning.
And I'll probably need some leftover to use Monday since I've been invited to this Team Up Foundation's Red Party on Sunday night and who knows how that's going to turn out.
So …
Yes, I was remiss here yesterday morning and I am absolutely going to give you Stephen Lewis as one of Canada's great orators.
I heard him several times at several events and most them were apolitical so the words resonated at a different level.
But here's one for you:
Do the words make the speaker great or the style?
Sometimes I wonder, to tell you the truth, and maybe a lot of wonderful, would-be moving speeches are lost by bad delivery, monotone-speakers, boring men and women.
And, conversely, could someone with a brilliant style and a distinct voice – say a James Earl Jones – read a phonebook and still stir us?
I would hope that great messages are not lost by bad speakers; I fear that's not the case.
I will say that having to get Super Son to school for Seven Stinking Ayem one day and then to the doctor for Eight Stupid O'Clock the next is going to wreak havoc with the usual morning stuff today and tomorrow.
Plus it's about Eleven Billion Degrees Below Zero and I'm not built for the cold so that sucks, too.
(Actually, I'm not built for the heat, either; I need temperate, dammit).
End of the whining.
For now.
Bit more Raptors?
Not sure if you saw this Alan Anderson piece that went up yesterday (shame on you if you didn't) but there's one more point about him that I think might be understated a bit.
Not mouthy to the point of punkishness and he doesn't go out of his way looking to stir stuff up but he does.
He got to Dwight Howard on Sunday, that's for sure; and there've been a couple of other times (DeMarcus Cousins comes to mind) where he's rankled.
Is it him? He doesn't seem to care, as he told us after practice.
"I just play hard, whether it gets under their skin or not, I don't control that. I control what I do and that's play hard. When I play hard, some guys don't like when you play hard, some guys can handle it. Whether or not they handle it is up to them."
So one day after saying that Pau Gasol was going to be a starter again, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni changes his mind in Chicago on Monday and Gasol's now a backup with Earl Clark starting.
That team is more of a train wreck every passing day.
It's astonishing what's gone on there, simply astonishing, and if Gasol's not moved by the trade deadline, I'd be stunned.
And you know what that means?
More Toronto rumours, I'm sure.
Now, would you do Bargnani and, say, Anderson, Kleiza (who the Raptors are likely to amnesty next summer) and John Lucas III or something like that for him?
I might.
I wouldn't do anything that includes Bargnani and Calderon – you'd be gutting your backcourt and making the team simply different and not necessarily better – but if there's another package that could be put together, I'd make a call.
Not sure if there is but why not give it a shot and you can imagine the Lakers are ready to make a move.
Lost amid the whole sordid history of the HOTH, the Leaves and the creation of the monolith that is Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment is the contribution of one man many forget.
Allan Slaight.
I used to joke that they should name the arena The House That Allan Built because he was instrumental in bringing together two warring factions in the only sensible manner.
And when it comes time to write the official history of that company – as opposed to a more singular look at the zaniness what is the basketball program – he cannot be forgotten.
I mention this only because I haven't or spoken to him in years but I see his name in the papers today for an astonishing piece of philanthropy and it's worth noting that he had something to do with the sporting landscape in Toronto as well.
