Calender question
Hello all
This is my first post on here after reading the online manual and also testing the calender on my Forum for the past week.
So here is my question: I want to be able to add an event to my forum calender and then 7 days prior to the event for it to put up a post in a certain thread advertising the event, is this possible and if so how? I have tried loads of different combinations in the calender settings but it still posts the event straight away ?
Any help would be great
Kind Regards
Mark :)
Arantor Beeblebrox the First:
There's no ability to schedule posts like that.
Oh ok that would explain why I cant find how to do it :laugh:
Thanks for your reply
This should be relatively identical to what you're looking for, as it basically does the function you're requiring. Hope it helps!

One cloudy spring day a few years ago a Beechcraft Baron piloted by a high-time ATP and with a relatively experienced private pilot in the right seat hit a peak in the Ruby Mountains of eastern Nevada while en route from Truckee, California, to Salt Lake City. Both occupants were killed in the crash. The airplane, which was getting flight following from Salt Lake Center at the time of the mishap, hit terrain at 10,500 feet in controlled flight. An NTSB investigator concluded that the airplane had most likely been in visual conditions until just before it hit the steeply sloping terrain just a couple of hundred feet below the peak's summit, which was the highest terrain in the area.
The tragic accident is also an intriguing one on several counts. First, the accident airplane was on the second leg of a two-leg trip that began earlier in the day in San Carlos, California. The flight was flown VFR, and the first leg, according to the NTSB report, went off without a hitch. The second leg, flown through the heart of the Sierra Nevada range in California and Nevada, was flown later in the day, also under VFR. The pilot did ask for and get VFR flight following services; with flight following, it's important to understand that ATC's role is limited. The pilot in command is responsible for maintaining adequate clearance from terrain and from clouds. In this case, it's tragically clear that neither happened.
The NTSB's finding of probable cause seemed to state the obvious, that the crash was caused by "the pilot's continued VFR cruise flight into instrument meteorological conditions in mountainous terrain, and his failure to maintain clearance from terrain." There was no sign of mechanical malfunction or medical emergency. The pilot apparently flew the Baron into the side of the mountain under control.
The question the NTSB does not attempt to answer in the report is why the pilot failed to avoid the mountain.
Why did investigators avoid the central issue in the investigation? We all know the answer. It's because, most of the time, it's impossible to say why pilots put themselves into situations that lead to their demise. There are a handful of commonly conjured answers: invulnerability, get-home-itis, machismo and improper crew coordination, among others. There's also the possibility that the flight came to harm because of ignorance of the conditions or the risks, though that's unlikely in this case, with a 13,600-hour ATP in the left seat.
I won't attempt to speculate on why things went wrong, just that the risk was very high to begin with. You have a VFR flight off-airways being flown in mountainous terrain with mountain obscuration. The other higher risk factors are it being a multileg flight, there being two pilots on board for a noncrewed airplane, and the cloud tops being at or above oxygen altitudes.
While it's almost always a good idea to be on an IFR flight plan when you can be, for those pilots who aren't instrument rated, there are a number of things you can do to cut down on the risks. If the pilot of the Baron in question had recognized the risks and approached the flight differently, there's a high probability, based on the statistics, that it would have ended happily instead of tragically.
Identify the Risks
The key to making VFR flight safer is to fly like the airlines do. Of course, that's not always possible. A Bonanza pilot flying a 500 nm trip to an unfamiliar small airport doesn't have the second pilot, the second (turbofan) engine, the dispatchers watching his back or the same level of required recurrent training as airline pilots have.
While flights of small airplanes come to harm for many reasons, the biggest risk factors can be summed up in three main categories: weather, terrain and loss of control. If we were to remove these offenders from the record, light airplane accidents likely would be cut by far more than half.

Introduction The cloud computing paradigm is steadily shifting the course of computing away from physical hardware with locally managed software platforms toward virtualized, cloud-based services. This new paradigm, brought about by cloud computing, provides users with instant access to virtually unlimited computing resources and, at the same time, allows providers to deploy complex IT infrastructure as a service (IAAS). There is a huge benefit from economies of scale and tremendous gains in multiplexing offered by the sharing of the underlying physical infrastructure using virtualization. But all these benefits come at great cost. The sheer scale and highly

21 January 2008
Hundreds of school children from across the county borough will learn important environmental lessons at a special 5-day "Eco-Challenge" event being held from 4th - 8th February 2008.
The Eco Challenge will promote sustainable development and global citizenship to both staff and pupils, providing them with a clear message about how they can look after the planet and safeguard it for future generations.
The pupils will take part in a variety of hands-on practical workshops focussed on a range of "green" subjects such as dealing with waste, transport issues, water preservation, fair-trade, global citizenship, healthy living, energy conservation and environmental education.
Around 450 children, aged 9-10 are expected to take part in the Eco Challenge at the Oasis Centre, Blackwood, and the event looks set to be an exciting educational experience for all involved. This will be the third Eco Challenge to be run in Caerphilly county borough, enabling approximately 1000 pupils to learn more about such important issues as sustainable development and global citizenship.
The Eco Challenge is free, with transport being provided for local schools. Each child participating will bring their own waste-free healthy eating snacks, which they will have worked on in class prior to the event.
The Eco Challenge event is being organised by Caerphilly County Borough Councils' Sustainable Development team in partnership with Keep Wales Tidy and has been funded by CCBC's Beacon Fund. Officers from the local authority and local organisations are supporting the event by running workshops and helping out at the event itself.
Caerphilly County Borough Councils' cabinet member for the environment, Cllr David Poole said, "Educating young people about important sustainability issues is one of the best ways to improve our environment for future generations. This action-packed event promises to engage pupils in a way that is both fun and educational, and I hope it will become a regular event in the future."
For further information about the Eco Challenge, contact:Tracy Evans - Education for Sustainable Development Officer on 01495 235141.

Special edition box carport and the 2012 -- -- -- show last show of the auto show season.
It's certainly not the least this week we're going to be getting up close look at the latest from Chevrolet Lincoln Nissan Porsche.
It even.
-- -- Of course absolutely none of that matters whatsoever because there's also this 2013 viper.
Chrysler's newly formed as -- performance division crown -- Leo at present -- -- And it ever needed actual proof.
You have the best that's a I guess it was.
I'm very -- I I count my blessings but you know this is really that -- the work a labor of love.
-- -- -- Production for a couple years looks.
But this is it all absolutely no news it's been -- -- you from the frame on boards and a lot of you can poetry really proud of -- -- These are -- -- hundred pounds lighter it's going to be smarter faster.
All the things you'd expect them an evolution but yet we respect.
-- -- my -- Heritage speed ten very broad if you push a few switches you can have the cars -- always been very can enjoy the wonderful things.
Incredible power that's.
640 hours by the time -- -- in the network is -- also reporting so a few 600.
That makes us via highest court of any -- -- -- that it's all natural.
It really feels good work comes on so nice thing it's a pleasure.
Six speed manual yes automatic no but we did about redo the hearing we actually -- here so now six comes in the -- of more drivable here.
And the overall effect the cars much more engaging different -- quicker over me is where this manager.
For the first time this could happen that's -- electronic.
All stability control and horse had lost.
And we also have to most passion we have for the first time you -- the -- -- -- -- -- from.
Reasonably firm to respond best.
It's available on the GPS and and we Hampshire Los Angeles standard -- all -- just to visit sort.
And then we have for the first time we've -- probably tires and -- 55 rewritten indictment.
Upbeat coverage here stepped up so it's -- Yet you know we've learned a lot of -- last -- years you know especially last through with all that knowledge -- this.
And we're also because -- -- -- rubles -- -- materials that we normally wouldn't be able to use of the best -- that we can find the best of finishes.
And really what ends up happening do you have a world class GT.
Modernizing its -- involved as well.
All of sports and -- Which was number one -- really didn't finish the old this car's actually built the productions -- really look at it I -- the -- -- -- the brain is robotics now.
This agreement with the -- is that the rest just -- in place for the carbon panels.
-- -- -- and the consumer this price point is really looking for an artist.
Not only fast and fun but also true that's really that it was nice to be beautiful look at on the -- looking at a similar price points.
We're gonna respect what we've been we're not gonna you know forget where we come from so to speak -- -- with options will be able to get the -- pretty decent price a lot of our owners would go outside into the market -- -- So at least we often right from the factory so this will be one of the most customizable pars on.
Coming up later this year -- -- -- performance yet.
How much that.
-- it's hard and we won't really know when.
And -- magazines though it's you know numbers anyway.
But the house he's going to be up with the -- controls -- sixty should be pretty substantial again or Hardaway issue with us in the top five.
-- -- Congress this.
Yes we did we -- -- American LaMont aren't so it's we're gonna write about or select five maybe -- this year.
And then look to a full season in her second score that's there.
Corvettes porsches ferraris you name it really want to play in the big leagues and -- corvettes when it happens.
This red the you know Corvette.
-- -- -- -- -- And -- -- -- your ones and doesn't match up against you writes that's well this time around.
-- And now we're not released I think -- radical something else but to me though is going to be -- it is what it is they we have to.
Not do it anymore we'll have to both -- that's -- -- it comes.
Well as cool as that viper is the show this year is really all about family cars one car -- -- legendary name.
-- the rest new Chevry Impala well of course is the president -- General Motors North America.
Twist fourteen.
Paula the first all that long since she's the twentieth century so law.
But boy if you look at this is the -- -- of the -- so the car.
Goes all the way back to 1950 so we've got a lot of generations of the cover the -- always been a high volume you know high value.
Family car and so we look at where we sell more we've sold in two you know over those those decades.
You know.
The change has been more static and yearly basis -- has been big dramatic changes because.
There's a lot of -- -- and there's a lot of rich designers to it that was very very successful so.
The -- news probably weren't as frequent as and we should have done towards the -- end of the cycle of the current one.
You know company a lot of problems so we we really went in and spent.
A lot of resources both human.
Design engineering do this car better than we've done and -- -- recent memory so.
I would never had a fairly accident like this -- in the company and in the company's music so.
For us to have this car as the flagship family sedan that gets you know 3637.
Miles but now with the USS.
-- you can get a 303 horsepower.
Direct injected these six or -- get a force on the those those are all.
You know huge.
And rich technology.
Into a famous -- you -- Very different look from -- -- you know undercover cop car that we I don't know eleven responders are actually some cues from impulse test.
Others there's some there's some drama here on the side of the car that is if you look back to even the bat wing -- the controversial battling empowers.
Of the past -- with you know if you -- the -- The -- pins in the -- tail lamps.
Those there's hints of that drama for the quarter panel owner -- would.
-- but I wouldn't say it's overly done for -- existence -- very contemporary.
Elegant design it's a car that I think looks more expensive than what it's really going to be which is really -- -- -- part of what -- has been all about.
It's been very X accessible to anything -- and America.
The interior materials here are are second to none in terms of the richness in the field.
And so here you have a target and offered as a flagship sedan for Chevrolet that I think is going to be very popular with a lot of -- a lot of people because it is aspiration.
But it's accessible.
None of that Terry -- style upholstery in the locker -- out lots of high tech you know well let's try driving for it and Olivia.
Interior but it does so -- -- safety technology we've got you know almost.
Preventive crash braking system here -- -- and Chevrolet and then I'll for the first time.
Senses when I was about to be a crash if you haven't applied the -- -- planned for you.
Lots of sensors around collision avoidance.
Both -- front rear.
So you just packed with technology from safety standpoint.
-- -- huge seller for you 170000 units last year lot of athlete wanna get away with that from that with this car.
Your competitors -- charger they both -- around the 70000.
Range every year -- you think that's what's gonna fall what I don't know because you we haven't really -- an impala that's been this here I'm from a styling and desirability on the retail front for many years the car we have.
Was very desirable on time but you know the cars -- that we have on the road today and there's.
There's no doubt has done his job and more force so this -- -- -- to to really bridge and expand.
Both the retail.
And -- a -- of the -- business that we had with them -- very successful very good value car.
But it's time for something dramatically different.
Pretty powerful V6 they're three horsepower.
Success on this.
Why if you look at this it's a great question but you have to remember that VA SS the last -- we did in the current.
Was 303 horsepower motors from of the -- And so we've actually gotten the performance of that VA gets us on the last -- with a V6 that -- you know to be you know it's an option engine itself.
SS isn't for every model Chevrolet never should be never should have been.
And so what we do with SS.
Will be very special for -- so.
-- we do one of these in the future I don't know which certainly can we've got a platform that we can do lots of high powered turbocharged engines and it but.
They're really got to look at that and and be very pure ourselves in terms of west should be for sure people know this as a rental car they -- it -- -- cop car.
They also go to NASCAR right next year so maybe that's very important not at all new car rental only name -- -- and after the -- sonic just yet.
They just have one question for -- as well and answered -- today.
Will the power -- going to the right it's only fair I'll answer that question this way.
You know we won't be racing and talent anymore -- Philosophically we've worked very hard.
To get fuel injection into the NASCAR.
Vehicles to get a lot of the safety.
Into the -- vehicles and vice Versa.
We've also gotten into fuel types -- so you you're seen.
You know some of ethanol blends began in -- those.
Big changes in in the profile shape that you see on some of the cars that'll come out next year are driven by the desire to again have the car.
As very well.
Represented in very interest in peace in -- on the engines -- see that come to so when you look at that.
And you look at what we're going to race for Chevrolet NASCAR.
Next year it'll be coordinated with a very nice announcement of something that's very real.
I'm very special in the showroom -- -- and -- -- it -- -- shows us that family cars this part represents the entire family.
-- the first all new link it from report for a basically -- its second vice president of the Ford Motor Co.
Utley again.
And vote for you guys and -- this brand around -- -- Well -- where it is right now.
Except that we we realize we got to reinvented for the 21 century and the new and Khazei is a step on that journey and hopefully it's gonna show everyone where we're -- with Lincoln both in style and substance that you need both businesses and just can't -- style -- just can't be -- it's -- -- So -- excited about it doesn't tell itself for a program Carson -- come how you define what this.
We'll do what what's cool well what we're you know the protect the consumer.
We're targeting over from Lincoln as we call for cultural progress and and to just describe.
These are folks who are very particular.
They're they're into new experiences they -- At.
Luxury hotels -- some of the the boutique hotels.
Go for new experience they don't follow the crowd but they're very particular not only in the products they have been in the treatment that they have -- -- ownership.
That's really who were -- particularly -- we only cuts.
Well it's gonna be a combination when you look at this vehicle it's all about first elegant design and when you see this on the road if you notice it.
But not -- -- in your face -- -- craftsmanship is really important because again that's really important called progressive -- customers and small things.
Like the side view mirror looks like it sits -- a stainless steel base.
Technology these consumers are really into new technology and we have some really neat technology -- vehicle and of course.
At the end of the day it's also make sure that the driving experience.
It's a combination of performance but also comfort we think nobody quite has that balance and we're looking.
Three different choices during a hybrid power.
Mention handle it.
Help us -- active suspension for so it's better in this class from.
Absolutely we caught Lincoln drive control -- him and it includes computer.
Control dampening.
And it just like a thousand times second or something like that it really keeps the vehicle very balanced -- -- that meant that nice balance between performance and comfort.
Some high tech driving -- as well some really high tech you all you'd expect.
-- keep being.
Collision alert all the things that we've been implementing across -- over the past couple years but also a few other neat neat technology features push button -- selection.
And that not only makes your selection really simply freeze up.
A lot of real estate -- instrumental in the console is really interesting things from a design standpoint.
And then the the large fully retractable.
Classroom and this is.
You know to use a technical term we think this is really cool.
It's basically fifteen square feet so about two and a half feet right -- and it basically brings the outside game.
It basically is does is opens -- light and -- when it's open or when it's close.
And we even got to the point where it has when it's close.
It has an X he had factor behind her so you won't get -- it looks expensive the question.
Especially in this classic.
Well we haven't announced pricing but you know the Lincoln is going to be good value for consumers and you know we have some great engineers working very closely with some -- -- -- suppliers.
And we think this is type feature that will really help -- -- it.
Bottom line -- really important.
-- isn't as important as I think it.
-- -- -- Was standing alone it's it's a step in the longer journey good news but it is a very important force because when you look at this segment of the midsize premium segment.
It's one of the largest in the luxury markets and expect.
So we want to be part of and it's also important is usually this is the first segment where people actually come into the luxury segment.
So it's important that -- -- six.
-- -- this New York auto show at vehicle designed specifically for New York.
So taxi of tomorrow display on the floor it's also another car that's for the rest of America.
As well as workers in new Nissan Altima -- -- -- is the vice president and general manager of Nissan North America this best on -- You've redone it kind of risky proposition -- kept things that.
No I would say opera's fault it's it's our best selling -- and number two selling car in America on any time you touch that model you have to be careful.
But if you take a look at this car and the city it's -- will -- much more evolutionary.
In the exterior design but revolutionary.
In the interior -- the technologies to go into the car.
-- really been picking up on that ends.
-- that we've seen some custom cards so.
Platform well exactly in in in -- to common theme.
Com among discuss the new role which will be reflected in all of our new models that we want him we're gonna launch five new models in the next fifteen months.
What about this -- pars advertising.
Officials that play yellow comes to four cylinder and six cylinder we still maintains six cylinder because.
You know performance is still huge.
Covered part of Nissan so if you wanna go to six that would more performances to lock that and we operated -- different -- -- -- so that you haven't you have a range of from from these are optional fully loaded spot here's a big step up for the this kind of like.
-- -- -- ovals well I hate to say to him down it's all new and it is really the new Nissan DNA.
We will we will really noticed -- company for performance and exterior -- In our interior styling somewhat suffered.
Com and we heard our consumer feedback on that and if you take a look at the pathfinder and you take a look at the new -- You can see agree designing efforts to make sure that our.
-- perceived quality of these cards much much higher than their -- than than their predecessors by technology -- not just also.
Absolutely -- He's there saw inspired.
Zero gravity -- and what happened was Nassau.
Many years ago develop these seeds astronauts that were sitting down for long periods of time.
We've taken this technology incorporated in this car so when -- on long trips.
You feel.
Much more relaxed and much more refreshed because you don't have the pressure on all year pressure points.
Com which which allows you to have less fatigued driving fatigue and it's pretty pretty amazing technology.
Says there's no trick of them -- That's correct.
It was overrun attacks -- -- tomorrow.
There's a bunch Nissan Altima hybrids the last generation.
Workers' taxes here you're gonna say another -- this.
-- possible.
And you will be looking added and right now it's not on the drawing board but we do have hybrid technology that we want to Infiniti M and down on -- -- discussion.
Whether battery powered or hybrid every auto -- going to be taken some sort of electrified cars coming years can -- -- -- the disputed this.
In 197917.
A portion.
Company known for making credible sports cars like this.
-- for making things like this as well with an SUV this was very different than normal.
-- buy diesel engines up and probably never that we've seen.
From -- in the Latin.
Is CEO and president Pentagon's North America.
Five years ago this isn't possible -- -- how did this couple.
Not a -- of five years ago would have been no -- Is it this.
This is very amazing in America has this changed the team that there is viewed in the sense -- seasons.
High technology section -- you know beauty and we we took the decision -- room introduced.
Off with abuse and coolest places.
Saying no -- -- it would idea.
Since I -- everything has more than 50% of the key in these it and today I think now we -- ready here in America makes a lot of sense.
When do you want it was it either you won't talk.
You want fuel efficiency you want change and -- have everything you of this suggesting is that we have a very good -- we have and I can't.
Nye does on the other thing because we have various routes and strong and his -- success components look.
And sent range.
Or seven on the court and -- Things would what is the feeling.
-- lines.
On highway twenty cities that we have averaged 23 and it's another thing.
So again it was.
-- engine's combustion engines and I would mean you can fifteen months ago and -- -- The idea that diesel powered -- -- how about this terror media sensation.
Flying car.
-- -- Pitcher this.
Elective politics like we call -- -- street legal airplane because it's really general aviation airplane -- -- pulled up its wings in less than a minute.
Drive down the road at highway speeds and partners in the car garage.
Aside from the wow factor and why it -- this morning.
The transition makes it a lot more practical for travel by general aviation airplane when the biggest problems of pilots faces the weather sensitivity of light aircraft.
So you can be flying on the way to where you're going and whether changes on you can get stopped.
In a transition you're not gonna get -- you can only drive -- -- gives you that sort of convenience and flexibility.
Also saves you money because you don't have to enact anger at the airport which can run over a thousand dollars a month flying.
Parts of the clinical programs.
Automotive industry there three years.
This couple over time recently -- 20%.
What's the technology it was that it's possible.
But we've got out of a few key things we've got a high power to weight ratio certified aircraft engine that's actually certified to run on super -- automotive gas.
That's really nice you can just try to transition into a local gas station fill it up just like you fill up your car.
It's very fuel efficient -- about five gallons and hour you're gonna because he about a hundred miles an hour you're gonna get comparable or better gas most of most cars -- the road.
But getting there twice as fast.
Very compelling overall value proposition that got modern carbon fiber anti aircraft -- titanium in the vehicle to keep the weight down which gets your performance higher.
And out we've got the automotive safety features that have been developed so much in the past thirty years like safety cage crumple zones.
Driver's and passenger side airbags all those things that you have to have -- opportunity federal motor vehicle safety standards those things don't exist today in general aviation aircraft.
So we're bringing all that great safety technology from the automotive world.
To -- generally be wielding improving safety generally safe on the road.
It's pretty interesting design here with.
Let's -- for your ability like this here.
-- we designed it with that in mind so like for instance the -- hands -- the bumper here in the outer wing panels there those are all relatively easy replacements so if you should happen to damage your vehicle.
You can buy a new parts and -- that -- and I'm pretty quick.
It was inside.
Take a look over -- shoulder.
So as far as driving the control layout is it or optimize for driving or flying -- -- too often.

These series are the first parts of a documentary project I started in 2009: "China – other cities". My objective is to depict China, 60 years after the creation of the modern China, and at a time this country is ravenously taking its place in the international game, by showing ordinary cities, less covered, showed or even known in western countries than Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou, all over- bombarded on our screens, before or after the Olympics and the Universal exhibition.
Ialready visited Zhengzhou, Shenynag and Wuhan. I will continue this project later this year, maybe going to Wenzhou, and plan to complete it in 2013 by visiting second-tier cities.
To define my approach I would say first: documentary photography : nothing spectacular, street life sometimes, environment ordinary people live and work in. The selection of cities is based on two criteria: first to be real poles of life and of activities, big and representative enough,; second and most important, to be as neutral as possible from a visual standpoint: no landmark, no touristic spots, no big industries, no modern and aggressive financial districts, nothing that can attract or disturb eyes, memories or feelings.
Zhengzhou is the capital city of the Henan province, and Shenyang of the Liaoning one. When I met Chinese photographer Hu Li in Zhengzhou for the first time (by the way, look at his superb work on Beaugeste gallery Shanghai's site ) having a welcome drink in my hotel room, he nodded and looked at me, dubious, asking why I was coming there since "there is nothing to see here". I have to say that I was a bit afraid, but somewhere I knew I was exactly where I wanted to be.
I have never been fascinated by portraits, not that I deny any quality or any interest in some of the main contributions to the history of Photography, but surprisingly, they don't (or rarely) mean a lot to me, nor educate me enough about the people standing in front of the camera. Sure, I could mention..well..and many, many others. However, I would continue to believe that showing where people live, work or develop their activities can teach us as much about the inhabitants as showing them. How can we human folks build so many improbable and ugly spaces or buildings, highways, bridges, pipelines, factories, train stations and railroads; how can we explain that these places, which were originally conceived with a certain rationality, order or plan, even architecture, frequently, not to say always, seem ultimately to run their own life, growth, autonomy, decay or agony, in an apparent total independence and abandon from their designers or users, sometimes in a total anarchy or in a pure chaotic mode? Time and Progress do not explain everything. There must be something wrong with the designers or with the users...
I feel comfortable walking along these places, like visiting old mates, looking at rushing and roaring trucks that move around and run between noisy and exhausted cities, staring at busy people. I am also interested in visual emptiness, an empty crossroad for instance, just a place for people or cars to transit between two short moments of a nonsense life, and in visual banality, like in some suburban areas. Trying to capture some essence from nothing...Maybe am I simply documenting absurdity.
Of course I like people as well, I am not entirely misanthropist, and I am curious. This is why I am spending so much time in China, trying to understand what does this country and its people look like, how is it moving forward; If I had a last word to explain what I like in doing photography, I would say: walking during hours on a broad and clean avenue, with nothing really surprising popping up at the eyes; then, suddenly, decide to take this narrow lane on the right hand; discover a dirty but lively back street; shoot; know.
Turn right and take the narrow lane. That could be a pretty good definition indeed...

I read some awesome reviews for this and was excited to try it. I got it walmart for about $9, so the price wasn't bad. But after using this after using my sunscreen, it didn't do much on my oily forehead. I was still shiny and greasy looking. I was hoping this would work because carrying a compacts is better than carrying loose powder around. It may work for some, but it was not for me at all

Black Opal Invisible Oil-Blocking Powder is a peachy coloured silica-based setting powder. Because of its colour it is supposed to prevent that ashy look that WOC normally have when they set their makeup with white translucent powders.
This is not the case however, for everyone anyway... If you are NC50 and above you may still get that ashy look going on with this product.
People like to say the ashy look is as a result of using too much, but if you have oil-skin and use a product like the Black Opal True Color stick foundation, for a transfer-proof set one has to use a bit of product especially around the jaw-line.
What I do to reduce the ashy effect is to mix this setting powder with my Black Opal Deluxe Finishing Powder in 04 Dark. This adds some color to the powder and reduces the extra matte finish as well, but it still has a lot of the Oil-Fighting properties of the silica. I recommend that for you ladies that have an issue with this powder.
Also, misting your face with a refresher spray like Mac Fix+ will also get rid of some of the ashiness. And make sure you really buffed off all your excess product.
Though I had to modify it to make it work for me, the price is still right and you get a LOT of product for your money, so that I can't give it a bad rating.

I purchased this powder based on all the rave MUA reviews, after not being able to find a powder to control my oily t-zone.
This stuff is good - perhaps not as amazing as some reviewers have found - but it's better than MAC blot powder and most other blot powders I've tried. Sadly, it doesn't give me more than 4 hours shine-free on my oily t-zone.
Despite the "invisible" claim, I found that this powder does lighten up my foundation a little bit, even though it does have a light coloured tint to it! (To give an idea, I am about NC43 in MAC, or #5 Honey in Bobbi Brown). It sounds like it doesn't cause any problems for fair girls, which is weird because it seems to be designed for ladies much darker than I am! Also, it's a little pink based and as I am very yellow toned, this really shows up on my face.
I have started to apply this underneath my foundation, over my moisturiser, and find that does a pretty good job that way. Still, the oil on my nose starts to break through after about 4-5 hours.
The only issue I have is that the powder is so lovely and light, it does break up a bit when you swipe a brush through the compact. I end up with a lot of powder coming off that needs dusting off, and it can get a bit messy. Sort of defeats the purpose of using pressed powder over loose.
If it didn't change my foundation colour, I would continue to stick with it and just use it to reapply throughout the day. But the more I reapply the worse it looks, so sadly I will probably just stick to blot papers.

Definitely a great replacement for MAC Blot Powder! Like other reviewers, I was a bit worried that this would wash me out due to the lightness of the powder. However, this blended in just fine with my skin (MAC NC 35) and took away any trace of shine/oiliness. I feel like the power of this powder is similar to Blot Powder, perhaps even a bit better. I really like the slimness of the packaging but am not a huge fan of the sponge that comes with this (but that's an easy fix). I'll be purchasing again!

This powder is a wonderful surprise! What a GEM! It's translucent, but to look at the powder in the compact you might be concerned that it won't match your skin. No worries--it matches and IS translucent! I'm an NC30 and this powder looks amazing on my skin. (Not just for WOC!) I'm also freakishly oily (darn genetics!) with olive undertones, and this powder kept me shine-free and looking really good for over 10 hours in heat and humidity! This surpasses my MAC Blot Powder AND Prep n Prime Powder! And looks better! After going through one compact, I bought 3 more online (I can't find it in stores near me). This economy has hit me hard--and this outperforms the expensive powders I thought I couldn't live w/o. I use a good powder brush and use a light hand; it looks seamless over sunscreen, over foundation, or just over bare skin. When I blot (out of habit), there is oil on the paper, yet none of it shows on my face. It's not cakey; it's not too matte. It's perfect for me! I wish I had discovered this before! (Ah... the money I would have saved--while looking BETTER!)

For only 9 bucks this is a steal! Works wayyyy better than MAC blot powder. This does not only mattify skin for hours but also smoothes out skin and blurs imperfections!

Just got this but so far I love it! Doesnt change my foundation shade like some powders do. Great matte finish and I personally think it has a smoothing effect more so than with regular powders. I'm thinking it's the silica and cones it contains. After it settles on my skin and my own chemistry blends with it it is makeup perfection. Used this with a stick foundation from the same brand which usually has me looking like a grease ball after a few hours. Not today! Typing now I've blotted twice and my make up is still going strong 12 hours later! This is unheard of! Only Revlon CS and ES Double Wear give me that sort of staying power. Noticed a bit of darkening of my foundation this evening but it could just be the bad lighting. All in all this is a keeper. I will keep a Black Opal Deluxe Finishing Powder in Neutral Light and Medium on hand like I always do for use with the foundations I have to use a powder to color correct but for the few I own that are a perfect match, this bad boy will be my go to as well as for touch ups if needed. I purchased the loose powder, not the compact thought. Had to note that as this is why I gave the low packaging rating. I dont like that the shaker top dispenser always releases too much powder but the all black container is super sleek! That I like. The power? Again, all LOVE!

So this afternoon i went shopping with a friend and got this powder - the last one, yay! - because of all the raving reviews here. I was going to buy the mac blot powder, but this one was a little cheaper :) (In my country it costs around 15 euro). When i got home, i looked at myself in the mirror and suprise, suprise: My skin was oily! Which was convinient in this case, because i was dying to try this out. The compact looks pretty fancy I must say, it's very sturdy.. Very good to take with you for touch ups. Although I dont think you need to do so as much, because i have applied the powder (on its own) about 5 hours ago and still no oil! Very natural, matte look. It makes my skin look so much better! So i am veeeery happy with this so far, I just hope this doesn't break me out or anything. I will try to remember to update this review in a few weeks! So far id recommend it to my friends.

Wow. Really wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do.
I am a shiny happy person. I don't like to blind people with the glare from my forehead. I do a rolling motion applying with a sponge on my t-zone, leave for as long as it takes to apply mascara, then I brush excess off. 6 hours later and people do not have to squint at me anymore. By the time it comes to the cleanse I have a dewy glow.
This works.

This is a really great oil control pressed powder. I've found over time that my oily skin generally prefers loose powders for controlling oil, but I have to say this one is pretty great and is definitely THE best blotting powder that doubles as a setting powder. (Better than higher end powders like MAC Blot for example - in my personal opinion at least ;D)
I'm 30years old and quite fair (NC15) with oily skin for reference. & I noticed when I opened the package that the powder does have some color to it and was worried the "translucent" wouldn't show up translucent on me and it would make me look too dark,(because the color does "appear" a bit on the darker side..) but luckily that hasn't been a problem as long as I don't go crazy with it. &I've been using it over top foundations as well as alone for "no makeup while wearing makeup" days ;)
I purchased this at one of my local RiteAid's (it's in limited RiteAid stores, if you are looking for one in your area they do have a "store locator" on the Black Opal website for reference, but can also be found online on several other websites for purchase as well.) I paid right around $9 USD which is very inexpensive. I purchased it in the middle of this summer when my face was definitely at it's oiliest and it performed beautifully. And I'm still able to use it now in October when my skin is no where near as oily(I'm actually a bit on the dehydrated side due to the crazy weather).
My favorite way to apply is with a brush - Not sure which brush is my favorite yet(kabuki, buffing, fluffy) -but even though I'm not sure which brush I prefer, I do know that I don't care for using the enclosed sponge- (we all know that *most* times the little sponges that come with drugstore powders aren't so great so this was no big surprise for me) I did replace it with a fluffier puff that I purchased separately but I still only use it for touch-ups on the go.
It also doesn't take a *ton* of powder to get the job done - I've been using mine several times a week, several times a day for 3+ months now and am barely showing a dip in the product, so you get more than you may think for your money :)
It comes in a slim black compact that is actually pretty sleek looking (oh do I hate it when compacts are bulky and not good for travel) I do wish the sponge/puff had a separate spot somewhere in the compact so it didn't have to lay on top of the powder but this is a very minor complaint for such an awesome product.
I also purchased the Black Opal Invisible Oil Blocking Mattifier and while it is nice, this powder really blew me away! Definitely a HG pressed powder and an awesome drugstore gem - I highly recommend and would repurchase.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Well thank you for investors who worry about market volatility and who among us doesn't every day you look up -- up a hundred points down 250.
We have a guy who says do not over analyze it -- here's what you should listen to him he's Matthew 25 fund director.
Mark Mulholland joining us -- a Fox Business exclusive from Philadelphia and his performance.
Is out of this world -- a year to date mark your fund is up 28%.
That is besting the benchmark against which you you just yourself that would be the Russell 3000.
Year over year up 45.
I wish up what -- and with few wet and my big question is what does it if there were one thing you pick out mark.
That -- are doing to get these returns what do you think it is.
I just.
State bulletin really stay long this market there is a lot of fear out there and you were you know you can see it in the data come from ICI.
The measures mutual fund flows and there's been net redemptions five and half years out of domestic equity funds.
And on the contrary -- by heart it's the best place today and I just think -- next few years should be very powerful as well.
I'm very glad you brought up the redemptions that means people getting scared and pulling their money out of mutual funds.
That would have been a mistake on balance corrective Mena over the past year we have done so well but if I could count how many people.
How come on this program and we've tried to tell our viewers listen.
The real money makers like the profits of the world and that the Wilbur Ross is of the use of the world.
Have make that money just as everybody was running away correct.
A lot of times it's not trying to be -- Smart it.
If you look at the market bottom in 2009.
-- 2008 earnings were about just under fifty dollars a share in a market bottom around 678.
So it was like twelve times earnings at the bottom and even and peep or saying that's not enough.
But the -- -- you look where we are right now I immediately yes and he's around 14100.
It should learn about a 10203.
On the S&P this year this year -- early really thirteen have fourteen times earnings that's.
Still great valuation -- I -- tell people the market spends about 90% it's time between fourteen and twenty times earnings on PE ratio on the market.
We're net 5% time we're still below -- it's still an opportunity for people it's you know he decide to get over it is good news that you keep seeing in the CEO -- the volatility which is just.
Order to market so we just showed a chart of how you've been outperforming the Russell 3000 -- -- -- everybody but the big things that are in your fund things like Scripps.
Apple -- -- less Google.
You've got JPMorgan.
Berkshire a shares Caterpillar Caterpillar was the worst performer yesterday.
On a day like that do you that well obviously you don't freaked out your long term guy but not.
Are you getting excited on days where the market is in turmoil and in doing so argue riding a wave vs.
Panic gaining and losing your head under the way.
I'll -- I I -- look at everything on -- three to five year cycle and I still believe the next three to five years can be powerful.
And what I -- your thoughts like a Caterpillar.
If you're looking at companies about eight times earnings about five and a quarter times ebitda.
It's a fantastic.
Extremely well run company.
And unable to I would say the fair pricing -- an idea is probably about eight to ten times -- and up efforts here route 105 the ones that I watch.
I wanna just tell viewers want ruled that you live by and not just totally steadfastly but you wait until the stock has lost.
Two days worth and then you -- correct to buy.
Yet a lifetime I'm not a great time -- -- though.
If I had a concrete system but basically if it's if I believe in the company.
And I'm into it you know for to long term cycle.
If I get the couple days negative -- if I have any money come at a -- buy that stock and if you want to look for portfolio you can almost figure out what we're gonna buy.
-- his fund is up 45%.
Year over year mark we come back again we love the story.
I appreciate -- thank you anything I'm mark Mulholland is Matthew 25 fund director and president good to see you lot.

Ramona Falls is named after a childhood memory of Brent Knopf. As a boy, he and his family would drive out to the trail on Mount Hood and hike the three-mile loop. Knopf drank it in: the proportions of space; sunlight and shade; the potential of this place, as a refuge from the world, as a place solely his, even as his family gathered there. An ideal of what woods should be. Years later, that memory remains with him, now represented in music: Ramona Falls, both a refuge from the world and a gathering place within it. A sanctuary as Menomena, the sharply intelligent indie rock band from Portland in which Knopf honed his craft, eased into a period of rest; and a community, as Knopf emailed and called fellow musicians in Portland and New York and asked them to collaborate with him on his so-called solo album (including members of The Helio Sequence, Mirah, Loch Lomond, 31 Knots, Talkdemonic, Nice Nice, Tracker, Dat'r, Dear Reader, 3 Leg Torso, and Matt Sheehy). Those joinings give the album breadth, rendering the solo tag something of a misnomer. But then, much of this album represents several things at once: solitude and gathering, community and refuge, the ideal and the real. Fixing a memory into the world.
Knopf grew up halfway between Mount Hood and Portland Oregon, far enough out of the city so that he could see the stars clearly at night. He later spent time in France, attended college in New Hampshire, and spent a semester abroad in Germany. He returned to Portland after graduating college to form Menomena. These days, Knopf has a cat, a raging chocolate addiction, and a determination to plant a vegetable garden even though it will likely ripen while he's away on tour.
Ramona Falls is Brent Knopf's first solo venture, but he has an extensive musical resume as part of trio Menomena (that's snagged plaudits from such tastemakers as Pitchfork Media and the New York Times.). "Intuit" is a beautiful and breathtaking glimpse into a profound journey of love, loss, exploration of life and one's self. From the very beginning, you find yourself spellbound and longing to continue down the 11-track pilgrimage. From the internal struggle to follow one's heart in the song "I Say Fever", to the drowning dream and betrayal imagery of "Salt Sack," to the bittersweet and delicate album finale of "Diamond Shovel," Ramona Falls blends acoustic and electronic elements into songs that feel at once surreal and real, both strange and familiar.

Is it usable: yes.
Will she get comments on her name: definitely.
Will people make jokes: probably.
To me it sounds very much like "I see".
Personally I'm not too fond of the name, as it is not a "word name" to me but only a word. However that's my opinion. Poet while not my style, I find it kind of pretty and way more usable - it's less "weird". However if you love the name Ophelia makes a great middle name (even though I'd like it better in the first name spot, it works).
What I like about the -y ending is that you can choose all the wonderful names ending in "a"for the middle position

Gluten-Free Cover Star Cake
MAKES 1 CAKE with cake leftover
Here's what you'll need to make our star cake. Double this recipe for three cakes.
2 (15-ounce) gluten-free chocolate cake mixes*
4 graduated star cookie cutters
❧ Confectioner's sugar, for dusting
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare chocolate cake mixes according to instructions on package. Spoon batter into a lightly oiled 11x17-inch sheet pan that is at least 1 inch deep.
3. Bake 28 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool cake completely.
4. Cut cake into star shapes using graduated-size cookie cutters. Use the largest cutters you can find that fit your sheet pan. (We used 4 cookie cutters, ranging in size from 3 inches to 7½ inches.)
5. Sprinkle cake stars with sugar and arrange on a serving plate from largest to smallest. To prevent cake from shifting, place a dollop of frosting between the layers. Decorate top as desired.
*TIP If using a 19- to 21-ounce mix, prepare 3 boxes to fill two 11x17-inch sheet pans. Makes 3 star cakes.

Fedora already has a rolling release. It's called rawhide. If you don't like time-based releases, use rawhide. Don't try to take away time-based releases from those of us that want them.
Contingency plans?
Posted Nov 10, 2012 5:05 UTC (Sat) by hadrons123 (guest, #72126) [Link]
The obsolete packages in Fedora shall grow more and more if it continue to have this schedules. If anyone wants time based releases and laid back comfort, its too bad to try and follow fedora. Fedora is supposed to be a leader in implementing new technology rather than following.
How can it be a leader if it releases packages later than another distro? See this link.https://plus.google.com/115547683951727699051 Lennart P says[quote]The ArchLinux folks are fantastic. I wished Fedora would try harder to abide by the the "Features. First." bit in its motto a bit more, because otherwise Fedora should soon find a new motto: "Freedom. Friends. Features. Second."
Anyway, congratulations to the ArchLinux folks. Their upstream work is fantastic. We love you guys![/quote]

If the, far too short, 6 month major release could be thrown in the bin and replace with, say, a major once a year, via fedup if you want, and minor release during the year cycle to rebase the build tree, that'll be a step forward.
Re anaconda, I don't fully understand why Red Hat are so worked up about this. I look after lots of rhel servers at work and use kickstart for these. Can't remember the last time I used anaconda to install rhel.

I can certainly understand the desire to have both stability and the latest and greatest stuff, but there's not actually a way to have both.
Posted Nov 14, 2012 15:13 UTC (Wed) by hadrons123 (guest, #72126) [Link]
But fedora updates to the latest version including the kernel, So it totally negates any kind of stability whatsoever.
Fedora 18 already have around 10000 package updates, even before the beta is released. What is the point of having old packages getting released on january 2013 when you are anyway going to update to the latest version.
I use archlinux and Fedora in my systems and never found Arch crash becoz of some software upgrade. It always has been smooth. Its no way inferior to Fedora.
If anyone tries to use fedora on their production servers they obviously need some education on how to handle servers.

What are types of neuropathic pain?
Comment on this
Neuropathic pain includes:
Treatment of neuropathic pain The various neuropathic pains can be difficult to treat. However, with careful diagnosis and often a combination of methods of treatments, there is an excellent chance of improving the pain and return of function. Medications are a mainstay of treatment of neuropathic pain. In general, they work by influencing how pain information is handled by the body. Much pain information is filtered out by the central nervous system, usually at the level of the spinal cord, so that you never need to deal with that information. For example, if you are sitting in a chair, your peripheral nerves would correctly send the response to the pressure between your body and the chair to your nervous system. But, because that information serves no usual purpose, it is filtered out in the spinal cord. Many medications to treat neuropathic pain operate on this filtering process. Amongst the types of medications are antidepressants, influencing the amount of serotonin or norepinephrine and antiseizure medications, influencing the amount of various neurotransmitters, such as GABA and glycine. One of the most powerful tools in treating neuropathic pain is the spinal cord stimulator, which delivers tiny amounts of electrical energy directly onto the spine. The effect of this stimulation of the spinal cord is to allow the spinal cord to function normally even during a painful condition. It works by interrupting inappropriate pain information being sent up to the brain. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

I'm in the process of talking Jarred into creating a DSMC Quickplate Module (see this thread).
This baby would allow you to mount your beloved RED Bricks to the back of any DSMC module combination, without having to tether it to the brain, without having to use the expensive backpack system, without adding any weight you don't need. You'd simply add that module to the PRO I/O or the upcoming +1 Module (the one with the additional EVF/LCD port) and you have a very streamlined, short and light setup.
Jarred estimates its price to be around $1,000.
Please add your votes here if you want this product to see the light of day. Thanks!
EDIT: Product has been released!

Since I started making bread 1.5 years ago, I've come to realize it's been a bumpy ride and I pick up something new each time:
- Use 70-80% plain bread flour and 20-30% wholemeal/whole-wheat flour of the total amount of flour called for in the recipe if you're planning on making wholemeal bread
Never ever use 100% wholemeal flour even when you've extra vital wheat gluten added to the whole deal to increase the gluten content. Nothing but fiber will only stop the network of gluten from forming, and you'll end up with flat, malformed, rock-hard cooked dough! When there's either not enough gluten or the network is too weak and improperly formed due to low gluten content even after you've kneaded the dough like crazy, your "bread" loaf isn't going to slice properly--it'll be dense, crumble and look dry. Furthermore, the dough isn't going to rise properly.
- Use Pullman loaf tins for the best results This is especially true when it comes making loaves and pull-out buns or rolls. Of course, this doesn't apply to buns or rolls that are meant to be baked on baking sheets so that they'll still retain their own shape and "identity." Bread loaves and buns baked in Pullman loaf tins have really thin crust and soft, fluffy crumbs. Definitely worth the investment!
- Never pull your bread dough by hands--ALWAYS use a sharp thin-bladed knife to help you with dividing the dough! And, only slice to divide the dough up in one direction and in a sawing motion. These will not pull and damage the gluten network that you've built through kneading.
- Let the dough rest for 10~20 minutes each time after working with it. This is to relax the gluten and minimize the chances of dough shrinkage later on
- ALWAYS seal your dough properly for proofing Expect flat, rock-hard cooked dough to appear before you if you don't follow this rule. Dough that's not been properly sealed is like a punctured tire: no matter how much air you're trying to pump into, it'll just leak out and the end product will not be in its maximum volume
These milk crisp buns were still soft and fluffy the next day, and I used 70% bread flour and 30% wholemeal flour--all thanks to the good old trusted tangzhong (湯種) method. The filling was very milky and creamy, not too sweet and tasted like custard. The desiccated coconut on the outside was a perfect match and actually enhanced the custard, milky flavor of the filling. Though for some reasons, I still can't figure out why they're called milk crisp buns. Are they supposed to have a crispy crust? Did I do something wrong?
In the meantime, I doubled the sweet bun dough recipe that came from the milk crisp bun recipe and turned the rest into ham and cheese buns with spring onion topping. Because pictures speak better than words, I'll just have you hop over here and check out the method for shaping these savory buns. They were inspired by fellow Malaysian SeaDragon, and I've been a big fan of his work since my first days in the kitchen. I guess the only thing different that I did was I spread some of them with Dijon mustard, some with sweet chili sauce while the remaining with ketchup to create variety. But, this is optional.
Wholemeal Sweet Bun Dough recipe (adapted from Grace's)
372g bread flour (70% of the recipe's flour amount)
160g wholemeal flour (30% of the recipe's flour amount)
40g milk powder
84g sugar
1 tsp salt
12g yeast
60g eggs, slightly beaten and at room temperature
268g tangzhong (湯種), at room temperature
64g warm water, at 43C/110F
44g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- Combine (A) together, then stir in (B) and mix together till a dough forms
- Turn the dough onto a working surface--don't flour the surface! Knead till gluten starts to develop, then knead in the butter and continue kneading till the dough reaches the windowpane stage--that is, the dough should not stick to your hands and when pulled, it should be able to stretch out slightly into a thin "membrane" before it breaks and for the light to pass through
- Round the dough up into a smooth round ball and place into a big oiled bowl, cover and let it proof till doubled in size
- Deflate the dough and divide into 18~20 equal portions. (I did it by weighing the entire dough and working on math 101 to get the answers if you get what I mean ... It's been a while. So, I don't remember how much each portion weighed. :P By the way, half the batch became the milk crisp buns and the other half became the ham and cheese buns.)
Round each portion up into a smooth round ball and cover to let rest for 10 minutes; then, proceed with the remaining steps depending on what type of buns you're planning to make
70g butter (I used 40g butter and 30g shortening by referring to here, which I believe the filling would've been much better if I'd used all butter. Learned my lesson LOL!)
30g powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
30g eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp corn flour
80g milk powder
Desiccated coconut, for coating the buns
- For the milky custardy filling: beat (A) till light and pale, then, mix in the eggs gradually to blend well
Stir in (D) by hands using a rubber spatula till just combined--don't overmix it. Divide into 9~10 equal portions. (Once again, I weighed the whole mixture and did math 101 to get the answers.)
Roughly roll each portion into a ball and arrange to place in a covered container, chill in the fridge till ready to use (I did mine the night before.) - To assemble: roll each portion of the bread dough out into a disk with its center being thicker than the edges, wrap in one portion of the milky filling and seal the edges tightly to enclose the filling; repeat with the remaining dough and filling till used up
Dip the surface of each filled bun into some water and coat evenly with some desiccated coconut, arrange them on prepared baking sheets--leaving some room for dough expansion
Cover them and let proof till almost doubled - Bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes or till the buns have turned golden brown; immediately transfer them to cool completely on cooling racks before serving
enough ham enough finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1 stalk spring onion, finely chopped
1/2 egg
ground white pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
ketchup/Dijon mustard/sweet chili sauce
(F) [for egg wash, optional]
1/2 egg
1/2 tsp water
- To assemble: roll each portion of the dough out into an oval shape; cut out ham so that it fits over the oval-shaped dough--but of course, leave some edges for sealing later on
- Position a slice of ham over each oval-shaped dough--leaving some edges for sealing, then spread one of the three sauces (e.g. sweet chili sauce or ketchup) over the ham evenly--this actually acts as a "glue" to the shredded cheese--but don't be too generous on this!
Evenly sprinkle some shredded cheese over the ham, then roll it up from the shorter end in Swiss roll style and pinch seams tightly to seal the dough; repeat with the remainder - Arrange each filled bun onto prepared baking sheet--leaving some room in between each for expansion Use scissors to make a lengthwise cut across the middle of each bun to expose the inside--but, leaving about 1cm (about 0.5 inch) uncut
- Cover them up and let proof till almost doubled
- When the buns are almost doubled in size, mix together (F) for the egg wash and mix together (E) for topping; egg wash each bun's surface, then spoon some of the mixture over the "cut" of each bun--careful not to overfill them
- Bake 180C/350F 15 minutes or till golden brown
- Immediately transfer buns to cool on wire rack completely before serving

Dry Chemical Extinguishers The economically priced, handheld dry chemical fire extinguishers are the most common type found aboard recreational boats. The retardant functions by coating the material on fire and removing the oxygen from the flame similar to throwing a fire blanket on a fire. An accurate aim at the base of the fire directs the retardant at the source. Sometimes our testers found that by aiming at the top or middle of the fire, they could not put out the fire completely, and frequently required an additional extinguisher to finish the job. Clean up of dry chemical extinguishers can be messy and it is corrosive to electronic components and wiring.
Halon Replacement Extinguishers During our test we looked at two Halotron fire retardant extinguishers. There are also two other halon replacement retardants legal in the U.S: FE-241 and FM-200. These three chemicals were developed as "clean" fire suppression agents since Halon 1301 was discontinued. Our test of the Kidde Halotron models demonstrated the benefits and shortcomings of halon replacement extinguishers.
Unlike dry chemical extinguishers, the Halotron extinguisher displaces oxygen from the fire. This gaseous fire suppressant allows for easy sight of the fire and does not harm engine or electronic components. Halon replacement extinguishers are ideal for separated, enclosed spaces such as an engine compartments for use through a Fire-Port. All portable halon replacement units are safe to breath but fixed systems using FE-241 are not. Drawbacks for these fire extinguishers are the higher price and bulkier size.
Most of our test extinguishers were not rechargeable. A rechargeable extinguisher can be taken to a service station for maintenance. If it is not rechargeable then it should be discarded when the gauge reads discharged or it has been in service for 12 years from manufacture.

Yes, I am alive. Yes, I have been busy. Yes, I am back.
So lets forget the past and start a new beginning.
For several weeks or months perhaps, I had heard the name "Sukho Thai" come up in our food-filled conversations with friends and acquaintances. So last weekend, I decide to venture out in the heart of downtown at Dundas and Parliament area.
This place seriously looks like a hole in a wall from the outside. It was approximately 8pm when I walked in and requested a table for a party of 4. The wait time was 20 minutes or so, as the "server" suggested.
Around 15 minutes later, we managed to find a spot in the basement of the restaurant. I believe total seating upstairs was around 16 people and another 12-16 downstairs. I was fortunate enough to visit this restaurant with friends who had already experienced the venue on several occasions. We ordered their garlic chicken and garlic tofu appetizers followed by our mains; 2 orders of their signature dish "Khao Soi" (1 chicken and 1 beef) and 1 vegetarian Pad Kee Mao. I can assure you that you'll be taking leftovers for another meal. Their servings are humongous (and this is coming from a guy who can eat).
I shall further waste no time. Please view the following pics and drool.
For roughly $15 per person, I truly tasted the best Thai food in Toronto. Hands down, it beats the rest out there.
Until next time,
