We will be receiving our first batch of 2010 frames next month. We don't go by model year, but we happened to group a lot of exciting changes to hit this spring, so calling it '2010' seems appropriate.
A quick run-down by model:
(UPDATED 5/27) There will be a special edition Rush with Tange track ends, sans bottle bosses khaki green paint and alternative graphics/headbadge.
The current design with laser cut track ends will still be available in Slick Black and Pearl White. We'll see later in the year which version is preferred by dealers and customers.
Double Cross:
Our do-all frame gets a creamy Ivory paint job. New "rising sun" headbadge.
Double Cross DC:
Same ritzy but understated Midnight Silver paint. New "rising sun" headbadge.
Our road sport frame gets its name shortened to reduce confusion with our "Smoothie" road race frame. One color: Deep Metallic Red. Geometry gets tweaked on the smaller sizes, but you still have your choice of 11 sizes. New "rising sun" headbadge.
Keeping the Pearl White from last year, but with refreshed decals. New "rising sun" headbadge.
Matching steel fork available.
The touring frame keeps its Navy with cream panels paint job, but gets the new "rising sun" headbadge.
Our lugged road sport frame will stay Slick Black, but will get new decals and the "rising sun" headbadge.
New metallic head badges: You'll see the 'rising sun' badge on most models.
The "Sutro Fog" badge is planned for the Rush and a couple of other models.
Buena Vista:
Our Bacardi White mixte frame will be offered along with a new Metallic Graphite paint. Decals will be not be removable this year. People seemed to prefer permanent decals on this model, though we've spied one awesome whited-out BV on the web. The White will get the "rising sun" badge and the Graphite will receive the "Sutro fog" headbadge
Our classic hardtail will be offered in one color for 2010 -- Capucchino. New "rising sun" head badge. But we intend to offer the older colors - Slick Black and Baja Blue - through the summer.
Our 29er frame will come in a kickin' Candy Apple Green. Other colors discontinued. New "rising sun" head badge.
Same color scheme as last year...Carmelized Orange with cream panels. Still one of the most handsome 650b hardtails around. New "rising sun" head badge.
That's it for now. Any models not mentioned here will be discussed on a future post. We have no photos of new colors yet. Sorry.

Oliver J. Davis, Jr., ACSW, LCSW, LMSW, assistant professor of social work at Andrews University, was honored on May 23, 2008, as a member of the Michiana Region Forty-Under-40 class of 2008. The honoree luncheon, held at Bethel College, honored forty individuals who professionally and personally strive to make Michiana a better place to live. For Davis, it is an acknowledgement of his years working to integrate his faith with politics, something he has been doing since he won his fourth grade election for class chaplain.
Davis was nominated by TRANSPO (South Bend Public Transportation Corporation), where he serves as chair of the Board of Directors. His role at TRANSPO, a federally funded organization, takes him to Washington, D.C. twice a year where he meets with congressional leaders and experiences politics firsthand. Davis is also very active in the political network in the South Bend, Ind., area. He took a leading role in campaigning locally for democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama during a handful of northwest Indiana campaign stops and was even interviewed in The Washington Post about local efforts for Obama's campaign. Davis is the vice-president of the South Bend Common (City) Council. He was elected to the council's 6th District seat in November of 2007.
For the past four years, Davis has served as the BSW Program Director at Andrews University. Prior to joining the Andrews University faculty, Davis taught on the Indiana University School of Social Work graduate faculty at the Indiana University South Bend MSW Program in South Bend, where he served as a visiting lecturer in social work, a social work field instructor and on the MSW program advisory council. He is also a poet who integrates his work within his course content and lectures. For the past three years, Davis has chaired the Arts Festival at the annual CSWE APM, in which social work educators' present ways in which they integrate the arts within their dissemination of social work education.
He is also serving a second one-year term as chair of the Andrews University Senate and is an ordained elder in the Berean Seventh-day Adventist Church in South Bend, Ind.
Davis received his BSW from Oakwood College in Huntsville, Ala. in 1991; his MSW, with a specialization in child & family services and a course concentration in clinical work, from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio in 1992; and is currently pursuing his PhD at Andrews University in educational psychology.
The Michiana Region Forty-Under-40 concept is a collaborative project involving the regional Chambers of Commerce, The Truth in Elkhart, the South Bend Tribune, Bethel College and a number of major employers intended to recognize and honor forty young professionals within this region for their contribution and accomplishments in both their workplace and community. This year, the selection committee received nearly 100 nominations.

I buy my own photographic kit. Diving equipment manufacturers and diving services suppliers get even-handed treatment from me whether they choose to advertise in the publications I write for or not. All the equipment I get on loan is returned as soon as it is finished with. Did you know you can now get Diver Mag as an iPad/Android app?

I've only had the 800E a week so really have not compared them. Definitely no major differences between the two. If your main reason for getting an 800 in the first place is to be able to create large highly detailed prints, then I'd say spend the $300 or so and squeeze every last bit of quality out of the camera. But for most practical purposes I don't think there's much between them.
Nice Pictures Loftus,

Love the Nauticam housing, ergonomics are awesome. Much better design than my Subal, and no rust yet Drew.
How so? Thanks.

Posted 05 September 2012 - 02:37 AM
There are number of things; starting with the design of the port and extension ring locks - they are simple to use, quick, easy and work well. I know Subal now finally, has a port lock (but not an extension lock which makes the port lock ineffective), but I never had one with my D700 housing, and though I never flooded it, came close a few times, and saw it happen to others when the port twisted off. The controls mesh better, I found the Subal more finicky with getting every control perfectly aligned - particularly the focus mode control lever and frame speed mode control. Positioning zoom rings on lenses was more variable and more prone to slipping if not just right. Nauticam seems to simply lock into the housing more rigidly aligning the controls better, and zoom rings can only fit in one precise position.
How so? Thanks.
External button and control positioning; Nauticam have gone to the trouble to place internal levers etc so that external controls can be moved to better positions on the housing - examples are the ISO control lever, and the other paddle controls on the right for mode etc - a much better solution than searching for the buttons on top or back of the housing, the focus point multiselector is moved more to the right side of the housing, not just directly above the camera buttons, so I can reach it with my thumb without moving my hand off the handle. Also the ring multiselector rather than four buttons is a nice touch. I have smaller hands, so these little things keep all the commonly used controls more directly under my finger tips. The use of paddles rather than buttons where possible is huge, a paddle is much easier to use than a button particularly when one has to hold it down while rotating a command dial. I found that I often had to take my hand off the left or right handle to hold down a button while I rotated a command or subcommand dial with my Subal - this would sometimes mean I had to sort of jam the housing up against my body to hold it while I accomplished a two handed control operation like ISO change. This does not happen when I have a paddle where I need it without having to move my hand. I would like to see even more paddles where possible rather than buttons. Lens release button works better, does not need to be swung into position etc to use. So overall, even though I was not unhappy with my Subal, I did not know any better and none of the other housings, at any price, including Seacam, appeared to be any better ergonomically. In fact, at the time Subal was the best housing ergonomically in my hands.
I think Nauticam have really shaken up the staid European camera housing makers and demonstrated that it is possible to continue to improve housing design. In all my previous discussions with European housing manufacturers at DEMA etc, there seemed to be a take it or leave it attitude to their approaches to housing design, particularly as I was not a professional photographer. Port locks on Subal are a perfect example, other things I never even thought of, like paddles and multiselector etc, just made for a better mousetrap when I never thought one was possible and I just needed to accept what I was given.

i still have to deceide between the D800 and the D800E.
I can't say that any of the terrestrial comparisons available on-line have convinced me that the difference between the 800 and the 800E will be detectable underwater. I interpret the data as showing that you need a high shutter speed, optimum aperture and rock-steady camera position to get down to the realm of resolution improved by losing the moire filter. Our need to balance ambient and artificial light, to shoot in low light, and to hand-hold a large camera system suggests to me that we're never going to get to the point where the D800E is better underwater.

Live Pre-Show and Behind-the-Scenes Cameras Use NewTek TriCaster™ and 3Play™ to Deliver VIP Access to Fans Across Multiple Platforms and Mobile Devices
Live Pre-Show and Behind-the-Scenes Cameras Use NewTek TriCaster™ and 3Play™ to Deliver VIP Access to Fans Across Multiple Platforms and Mobile Devices
SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwire - Dec 22, 2011) - NewTek announced today that "The X Factor" uses NewTek TriCaster™ 850 EXTREME™ portable live production and 3Play™ instant replay systems to power "The X Factor" live pre-show and backstage camera views. The weekly live pre-show is part of "The X Factor" digital, multi-platform fan experience and includes live broadcast, fan interaction through Twitter, Facebook and Skype and delivery to multiple platforms and mobile devices.
"The X Factor" uses two TriCaster 850 EXTREME systems. One TriCaster is used to produce and deliver the pre-show. The second provides exclusive, live backstage camera angles delivered to mobile devices during all live television broadcasts. Live inputs coming into the TriCaster systems include eight 720p feeds from Ikegami cameras in the studio area, along with Folsom Image Pro HDs for Twitter and Skype. NewTek LiveText™ allows the social media producer to insert real-time Twitter updates, via the network input on TriCaster. The 3Play instant replay system is used to record all camera feeds, providing ready access to video content from any source, for instant playback.
"What we are doing with 'The X Factor' pre-show is unique in that it allows us to create content across several platforms and devices, completely independent from the main broadcast show, with a very limited crew," said Victor Borachuk, technical director, "The X Factor." "NewTek makes it possible to build our setup in a streamlined form-factor. If required, we could easily move to another location and be back up and running, ready to fade up opening titles. With a traditional broadcast setup, a move like that would be impossible."
TriCaster allows anyone to simultaneously produce, live stream, broadcast, project and record HD and SD network-style productions. A single operator or small team can switch between multiple cameras, virtual inputs and live virtual sets, while inserting clips, titles and motion graphics with multi-channel effects. TriCaster is used by thousands of broadcasters, webcasters, sports organizations, schools, houses of worship, government agencies and others to provide a new level of extended programming and content to their audiences.
"We wanted to take the fan experience to the next level. We believe our pre-show and interactive social content is the show our fans would produce if they had the means," said Jim Fraenkel, executive producer of digital content for "The X Factor." "NewTek systems make this possible. They're economical and allow us to be flexible enough to deliver exactly what we expect from broadcast gear."
About NewTek
Benefiting producers and artists with cost-effective and groundbreaking technologies, NewTek is a worldwide leader in portable live production, video editing, 3D animation and special effects tools, including the TriCaster™ product line, 3Play™ and LightWave 3D®.

Beam patterns explained
What is the difference between driving lights, spot lights, fog lights, and flood lights?
Driving Lights
Often referred to as fog lights, driving lights have a beam that is able to travel a longer distance, but not as wide. Driving lights perform best when used to supplement your high-beams. Or they may be aimed lower and supplement your low-beams.
Spot / Off-Road Lights
Spot lights are strictly for off-road usage due to their powerful, tight beam. Using an array of spot lights will offer more coverage by aiming them at slightly different angles.
Fog Lights
Fog lights are generally mounted low on the vehicle such as the bumper or bumper grille. The light pattern is very wide, with a flat horizontal cutoff. When properly aimed, fog lights are the perfect complement to your low-beams. This is by far the most popular beam pattern and are installed on many vehicles from the factory - though there's always room for improvement by upgrading your existing fog lights.
Flood Lights
Flood lights have a beam pattern that may be similar in width to a fog light, but the beam does not have a horizontal cutoff. Therefore they are also for off-road use only. As with spot lights, a mounting location high on the vehicle is ideal.View Available Part Numbers For This Product Line

Feds Continue Crackdown On Poker... By Seizing The Wrong Bodog Domain
from the keystone-kops dept
Bodog, however, has been considered the "big dog" of online poker for quite some time, raising some questions as to why it wasn't included in last years' busts. Of course, in typical fashion, the feds seem to have targeted the wrong domain. Bodog gambling sites moved off of Bodog.com ages ago -- first due to a patent dispute, and later to avoid having the sites on US controlled domains. For quite some time the company has mainly relied on bodog.eu, and more recently has been offering a different domain called Bovada.lv for US-based players.
As for Bodog.com? It had become the face of the "Bodog Brand" and was used for licensing the Bodog name, but wasn't itself a gambling site in ages. The affidavit for seizure (pdf and embedded below) claims that federal agents set up accounts and gambled on Bodog.com, but I really wonder if they didn't miss the fact that they were redirected to another site. Checking the internet archive, it certainly looks like Bodog.com was pretty much out of commission long before the feds claimed to have set up and used accounts there. Either way, the seizure seems unlikely to do much to stop gambling on Bodog sites, considering that the actual gambling was happening on sites, other than Bodog.com, which likely are still perfectly operational.
As for the actual indictment (pdf and embedded below) against the individuals, it's more or less what you'd expect. They focus a lot how Bodog moved money around, but much of that was only necessary because of the (relatively recent) decision by some politicians in the US to sneak an anti-online gambling bill into a bill about protecting our ports and harbors. Ever since then there's been a growing effort in Congress to actually make online gambling legal again -- in part because the big casinos who mostly supported the original ban have now changed their minds and want in on the action. In other words, while it is likely that Ayers and his team did violate the law, there are a lot of questions about the law itself, and there's a half decent chance that what he was doing will be perfectly legal before too long.
Kinda makes you wonder why the feds are spending their time and taxpayer-funded resources on such a thing, doesn't it?
As for Ayers, he sounds pretty defiant, suggesting that this is really just the feds acting in the best interests of large casinos who don't like the competition:
I see this as abuse of the US criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large US corporations. It is clear that the online gaming industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents is it also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion.The whole thing seems like a big waste of time by some federal officials who like big headlines, but don't seem particularly focused on stopping crimes that actually cause real harm.
These documents were filed with Forbes magazine before they were filed anywhere else and were drafted with the consumption of the media as a primary objective. We will all look at this and discuss the future with our advisors, but it will not stop my many business interests globally that are unrelated to anything in the US....

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Gillian Ferrabee, director of the Creative Lab for Cirque du Soleil Media, will speak at Bucknell University on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. in Trout Auditorium of the Vaughan Literature Building. Her work focuses on the creative integration of art, technology and engineering, and the human body.
Her talk, "Tech Know Body: The Future of Flesh and the Arts in a Revolutionary Age," is part of the continuing Bucknell Forum series "tech/no," which focuses on the evolution of technology's role in society, and its potential to impact the world in both positive and negative ways. Ferrabee's presentation will include still images and video clips from Cirque du Soleil performances, as well as a question and answer session with the audience. The talk is free and open to the public.
Ferrabee wrote, directed and produced her first long-format play at the age of 10, and has been telling stories ever since. Ferabee's early training was as a modern dancer. She performed for more than 10 years with contemporary dance and physical theatre companies touring North America, Central America and Europe. She began acting professionally after she was scouted for a TV series through her acting class. At 29, she retired from dance due to injuries and transitioned to acting in film and television full time, as well as writing and translating screenplays, coaching young actors on set, and assisting in casting sessions.
She joined Cirque du Soleil's casting team in 2004, and for five years she travelled the world meeting artists and discovering new trends in performance. She was responsible for the artistic casting of "The Beatles: LOVE," the house Cirque Du Soleil show at The Mirage in Las Vegas. In 2009 she became the artistic casting adviser for the company's touring shows, and in 2012 she was promoted to creative director for images and special projects.
In December 2012 she was named director of the Creative Lab for Cirque du Soleil Media. She heads a team of in-house creatives in developing projects for film, TV and new media, in collaboration with various outside partners. Gillian also has a thriving practice as an expansion coach for artists, creatives and entrepreneurs.
Ferrabee also speaks and leads workshops regularly, most recently at the Feast Conference in New York City and the C2-MTL event in Montréal.
The Bucknell Forum
"tech/no" embraces technology and its perils and promises. The series, which will run through the 2014 spring semester, aims to stir discussion about the pros and cons of technology, its benefits and damages, its legitimate promises and false panaceas, and its capacity to satisfy human need and desire even as it can bring risk and danger.
The Fall 2013 series debuted with a talk by P.W. Singer, a leading expert on 21st-century warfare and director of the Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence at the Brookings Institution, on Sept. 24, followed by a talk by multi-genre author Neil Gaiman, writer of "American Gods," "Coraline," and comic book series "The Sandman," on Oct. 1. || Click here for more information.
Speakers are being sought to explore how technology has affected a range of areas, which might include social change, human relationships, culture, politics, medicine, science, the environment, globalization, education, journalism, business and more. Suggestions for speakers can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Greener computing
Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient computers and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste.
- Power down your computer and all peripherals during extended periods of inactivity.
- Use a thumb drive or \\datastor folders to transfer files, rather than burning them onto CD or DVD.
- Try to do computer-related tasks during contiguous, intensive blocks of time, leaving hardware off at other times.
- Power up and power down energy-intensive peripherals such as laser printers according to need.
- Use LCD monitors rather than older CRT monitors.
- Use notebook computers rather than desktop computers whenever possible.
- Use the power-management features to turn off hard drives and displays after several minutes of inactivity.
- Minimize the use of paper and properly recycle waste paper.
- Dispose of e-waste according to federal, state and local regulations.
- Employ alternative energy sources for your computing needs wherever possible (for example, solar-powered rechargers, etc.)

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT)--Dogs seem to be disappearing in Harriman and Kingston. About a dozen so far over the last two months.
We talked to three people whose dogs vanished without a trace and another whose dog was killed. Now people want to know who snatched their pets.
Moss is a beautiful 4 year-old snow white lab. Jerry Pennington raised him from a pup, but now all he has are pictures. Jerry Pennington says, "I keep looking at the front door waiting for him to come in."
Moss disappeared on March 9th. Jerry put up signs all over the area and ads on Facebook. Pennington says, "Now with some new information, we think dogs are being taken all over Roane County."
A few days later Jerry's neighbor's dog went missing. Several days later they found the dog in a ditch where it had been shot to death.
That's two dogs in Jerry's neighborhood. Then there's Aaron Thompson who lives a few miles away. His lab also went missing last month. Aaron Patterson says, "He never showed back up which is unusual because he'd always come back to the whistle and he's never showed back up since."
Junkyard owner, Larry King has fond memories of Kujo. Kujo disappeared a few weeks ago, but whoever nabbed him, left behind his mother. Larry Ray King jokingly says, "I think someone's picking them up for what reason I don't know. They could be fighting them or eating them. I don't know really."
All these owners hope their dogs come home again. And while he waits, Jerry has a message for other dog owners. Pennington warns, "Everyone needs to keep their dogs up keep inside and investigate anyone who pulls into their driveway."
All the dogs that are reported missing are young and healthy and mostly Labs, Weimaraners or Beagles. Several people in Roane County tell us they've seen the same suspicious vehicle in their neighborhoods.
The dog owners have filed a report with the sheriff's department .
We also contacted the animal shelter and they're aware of the missing dogs and the suspicious vehicle. As soon as we get more information, we'll let you know.

Author Notes: This tart was inspired by Suzanne Goin's tarts in Sunday Suppers at Lucques, with my own springtime variations. The tart is a layering of puff pastry, pea puree and whipped ricotta, topped with sauteed leeks. It is easy to make, and the components can be made in advance. Using frozen puff pasty makes this an easy weeknight recipe, but feel free to make your own! - HollowLeg —HollowLeg
Food52 Review: With a lovely puff pastry crust, this tart is simple, delicious and quite lovely aesthetically -- it has multiple colored layers. The peas, ricotta and leeks play well with each other. I used 2 teaspoons of thyme and Pepperidge Farm pastry; one whole sheet as it would have been too small if I had cut it in half. I also recommend finding very small leeks and sauteeing them until they are quite tender, otherwise, they were a tad hard to cut. This will certainly be on my Spring brunch menu for years to come. Beautiful AND tasty! - thehappycook —Victoria Ross
Serves: 4 large, 6 small
sheet frozen puff pastry
egg yolks
1 1/2
tablespoons butter
1 1/4
cups peas
tablespoons creme fraiche
1 1/2
teaspoons lemon juice
16 oz. container ricotta, drained of excess liquid
teaspoon fresh thyme
kosher salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Defrost the puff pastry, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Score a ¼ inch border around the edge. Make an egg wash by whisking together one egg yolk and a tsp of water, and brush the border. Reserve the egg wash and freeze the pastry until ready to assemble.
- Prepare the Leeks: Remove the dark green parts of the leek and the toughest outer layer. Trim off the root hairs while keeping the root intact. Slice the leek in half lengthwise, and rinse thoughouly with water. Slice the leeks again in half lengthwise, still keeping the root intact. Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the leeks in one single layer. Season with about ½ tsp of kosher salt. Brown the leeks for a few minutes, and flip when they begin to brown. When leeks are lightly browned and softened (about 10 minutes total), remove the leeks onto a plate and reserve.
- Prepare the Pea Puree: In a food processor, blend the peas and crème fraiche into a smooth puree. Add the lemon juice and 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste. Reserve.
- Prepare the Ricotta: In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta with the leftover egg wash and the extra egg yolk. Whisk well so that the mixture will be easy to spread. Add about ½ tsp of freshly ground black pepper, ½ tsp salt, and 2 tsp fresh thyme, or to taste.
- Finish the Tart: Spread the layer of pea puree onto the tart, staying within the ¼ inch border. Spread the ricotta on top (you will probably not use all of this so save it for the other half of the puff pastry sheet!). Layer the leeks on top of the ricotta. Bake for about 20 minutes, and enjoy!
- This recipe is a Community Pick!
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Spring Vegetable Recipe

After the short story on Chrome for Android not entirely living up to the promise of its desktop sibling, I went on a serious Android browser testing spree - fueled by suggestions from readers here and on Twitter. The conclusion? As much choice as there is, they all seem to be lacking in one important aspect: user interface. Ugly, inconsistent, non-Holo, confusing - and this applies to Chrome as much as it does to third party browsers. Since I really want a good Android browser, I sat down, and about 23 seconds later, I realised that all the ingredients for a really good and distinctive Android browser are right here in front of everyone using Android. Also: this approach would result in a tablet interface, all for free!

Doctors Dump Small Practices To Join Large Providers
Anne Zieger is veteran healthcare consultant and analyst with 20 years of industry experience. Zieger formerly served as editor-in-chief of FierceHealthcare.com and her commentaries have appeared in dozens of international business publications, including Forbes, Business Week and Information Week. She has also contributed content to hundreds of healthcare and health IT organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies. Contact her at @ziegerhealth on Twitter or visit her site at Zieger Healthcare.
Intimidated, in part, by the health IT expenses they're expected to bear, doctors are leaving private practices to seek jobs with large healthcare organizations, according to a new study by Accenture. The need to purchase EMRs certainly isn't the only reason doctors are jumping ship, but it is one of the most important reasons, the firm found.
Accenture interviewed 204 doctors in May, drawing from an even mix of primary care docs and specialists across equally-divided sections of the U.S.
The study results projected that only 36 percent of doctors will remain part of an independent practice by 2013, down from 39 percent this year and 57 percent in 2000. (I knew doctors were streaming into integrated health systems but that blew my mind.)
According to the Accenture survey, 53 percent of doctors responding said that EMRs requirements drove them to look for employment with big health organizations.
Doctors are also spending big on updated practice management, billing and scheduling applications. My guess is that in some cases mobile health spending is beginning to rear its head as well, even in smaller practices. After all, while doctors generally bring their own devices to the party, practices may see it as in their interest to own mobile gear and applications as they become more central to care delivery.
On the other hand, health IT may also be the saving grace for some. Doctors who do remain independent are likely to offer telemedicine or online consultations to help keep their profits at an acceptable level, researchers found.
Readers, I doubt any of you are too surprised by Accenture's findings. I doubt public policy planners are either.
Given these realities, I've always wondered why no one has proposed re-structuring Meaningful Use for smaller organizations to account for the disproportionate effect such investments have on the smallest practices, say those with five doctors or less. Incentives are all well and good, but if we don't want to see independent practice all but wiped out, perhaps some up-front grants are in order.

RAY BROOK - After years of controversy and lawsuits, the effort to reclassify roughly 12,500 acres surrounding and below the waters of Lows Lake has come to an end.
In a six-to-four vote, the Adirondack Park Agency Board of Commissioners approved the reclassification Friday of the recently acquired state land - and for the first time in agency history, classified nearly 2,000 acres of lake-bed as wilderness.
Some Adirondackers believe the decision represents an unwarranted expansion of the APA's jurisdiction and a further erosion of landowner rights.
Most of the terrestrial property will also now fall under the wilderness designation, while numerous non-conforming structures like bridges and access roads are now considered primitive.
While agency staff claims the move - although unprecedented - is an appropriate expansion of zoning regulation, detractors have called it dangerous and they worry about the future of private ownership of land on lake shores throughout the park.
Commissioner Lani Ulrich - who chairs the agency Regulatory Programs Committee - expressed some doubt about the push to classify a man-made lake bed as wilderness while questioning agency Counsel John Banta.
"Can we classify this as wilderness waters event although it's created by a man-made damn?" Ulrich asked Banta. "We can do this, it's not in conflict?"
Lows Lake exists because of two 100-year old dams and is encircled by numerous roads and private easements.
But Commissioner Jim Townsend countered stating that the move is not as precedent-setting as some believe.
"The precedent set here is narrow and specific to this location," Townsend said.
Local officials have blasted the move for months, arguing that is nothing short of the agency expanding its own authority.
But APA Counsel John Banta said that the State Land Master Plan "invites discussion" about the classification of lake beds.
The Lows Lake issue got especially ugly after a lawsuit was filed by the Adirondack Mountain Club against the APA and the state Department of Environmental Conservation stating that the agency was required to reclassify the land and ban motorized activities in accordance with the SLMP.
Due to the suit the agency preempted the reclassification by disallowing float-plane access to the popular bass fishing destination as of January 1, 2012.
Several canoeists had claimed that the presence of the float planes was ruining their wilderness experience.
The two remaining floatplane operators in the park -Helms Aero Service and Payne's Floatplanes - have reported that flights to Lows Lake account for around 35 percent of their annual revenue.
But for Adirondack Mountain Club Executive Director Neil Woodworth, the reclassification is essential in preserving one of the finest canoe corridors in the country.
"APA's action is a vital step in protecting the wild character of these canoe routes, which offer rare opportunities in the Adirondacks for quiet canoeing and kayaking," Woodworth said. "This is the proper follow-up to the agency's decision to phase out float-plane use on the lake by the end of 2011."
According to APA spokesman Keith McKeever, the agency is currently in negotiations with all of the stakeholders in an attempt to find an alternate location for floatplane access.
The move to reclassify the land will take effect immediately, pending the signature of Gov. David Paterson.

EXCLUSIVEKeyshawn Johnson has just shed 140 unwanted pounds ... because he's officially moving far away from Justin Bieber ... and sadly for her, Kourtney Kardashian is gaining 140 lbs.
Our real estate spies tell us ... Kourtney paid just over $8.4 million for Keyshawn's 6-bedroom 9-bathroom 11,746 sq. ft. home in The Oaks -- located just blocks away from Bieber's Calabasas compound. The deal will close in less than 2 weeks.
We're told Keyshawn's move has nothing to do with Bieber, but we know Keyshawn despises the kid and has had numerous run-ins, the latest of which was a nuclear fight with Justin's bodyguards outside the singer's house the night of the egging incident.
As for Kourtney ... she's upgrading -- she's listed her house for $3.5 mil.

ANNECY, France, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- The man detained for questioning Tuesday in the killing of four people in the French Alps is a former police officer fired from his job, local media say.
Prosecutors in Annecy described the suspect as a local resident, the Guardian reported. He was arrested outside his home in Lathuile, a village near Chevaline.
The Guardian cited French media reports that said the 48-year-old was fired last year as a village police officer in Menthon-Saint-Bernard. He was described as an arms collector, and reports said police found weapons in his home.
Prosecutor Eric Maillaud said the suspect was arrested after police released a digital facial composite of a man wearing a motorcycle helmet who was seen in the area shortly before the killings.
Saad Al-Hilli was staying in Annecy with his family when he was shot to death on Sept. 5, 2012, after parking his car near a wooded road. His wife and mother were also killed, but his two daughters survived.
The body of French cyclist Sylvain Mollier was found nearby.
Police cautioned that the arrested suspect may be able to shed light on the slayings, but may not be a direct suspect in the actual killings.
Al-Hilli's brother, Zaid, was arrested in June by police in Britain but was released last month when authorities decided there was not enough evidence to charge him. The brothers were in the midst of an inheritance dispute at the time of the killing, the Guardian said.

I just looked on eBay, and there is some Azzemour to be found.
A few years ago I fell in love with Azzemour at Crabtree & Evelyn and have found nothing that smells like it since. I only used the soaps, shower gels and cremes as I prefer the higher-end for perfumes. However, after switching from Dior Addict and Prada Amber to Must de Cartier and Tom Ford Black Orchid I realized that the one scent that has remained a favourite through all of these changes and throughout the seasons has been Azzemour. As such, I have begun a search for perfumes with similar notes but the perfume counter sales associates of Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus have yet to recommend a frangrance as captivating.
So now, with Mitsouko on my left wrist and having already tried and disliked Oriens by Van Cleef & Arpels and Baiser du Dragon by Cartier I turn to the wonderful contributors of basenotes for advice. What makes matters desperate is that Azzemour has been discontinued and the last bars of soap certainly will not last much longer.
Thank you in advance
I just looked on eBay, and there is some Azzemour to be found.
Welcome to basenotes!
Well, luckily there's lots of good woody orientals (my favorite category along with woody chypres). I'm not familiar with Azzemour, but the directory reviews say spices, florals, and amber so here are some options.
Jean Patou Sublime (citrus, nutmeg, jasmine, patchouli, sandalwood)
YSL Opium (try it soon as it is being reformulated, maybe you can get some older stock) but it is powerful stuff.
Chanel Bois des Iles (or Coco, easier to find and a more floral oriental)
Guerlain Vol de Nuit (try Shalimar and Samsara, but this should be more what you're after, also check out Habit Rouge or Heritage, esp. the edp on the masculine side)
Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain (uber-chic niche with dry wood, incense, and amber)
Dior Dolce Vita
L'Occitane Eau des Baux
Smell Bent Horny Little Devil (artisanal perfume oil, peppery cinnamon and musky amber)
CK Obsession (perhaps?)
EL Youth Dew, Youth Dew Amber Nude, and Cinnabar
Serge Lutens Chergui, Arabie, Rousse, Femininite du Bois, and Ambre Sultan
And many many more. Good luck!
*adding Jean Desprez Bal a Versailles (if you like skanky musk), Lanvin Arpege (if you like aldehydes), Piguet Baghari, Molinard Habanita, Chanel Egoiste (another beautiful masculine), and another Smell Bent, Bollywood or Bust*

I've never smelled Azzemour. Can you describe the fragrance? That might help narrow down the field, there are so many great woody orientals out there.
Serge Lutens Santal de Mysore is great.
Annick Goutal Sables is another that I like.

If you like a little sweetness/vanilla in your woody orientals, I recommend:
Rochas Absolu
Boucheron Trouble
Kenzo Jungle Elephant is a woody Oriental.
Here's the notes list from a review in MUA:
african violet, gardenia, Moroccan rose, amber, rare spices and sandalwood
One reviewer on MUA likened it to Laura Ashley No.1
From the notes, I'd suggest:
Chanel Egoiste
Chanel Bois des Iles
Givenchy Organza Indecence
Nanette Lepore
Armani Mania
DK Cashmere Mist (I need to check to see if that is the name)

Thank you all for the excellent advice.
Asha thank you for finding the description of Azzemour However "african violet, gardenia, Moroccan rose, amber, rare spices and sandalwood" do not realy capture what I love about it... I will try to describe it: Starting off deceptively powdery, it quickly reveals itself to be a light dusting of powder on top of soft buttery leather, a saddle lying in a cedar forest on a hot day and then retaining the woods, leather and powder it lingers as a luxurious night on mediterranean sands evoking the thick heavy air with wafts of rich tobacco, wooden planks releasing the heat they absorbed during the day, and musk oil fluttering through loose silk beach pants.
Azzemour is like the first provocative caresses on a hot summer night: slow, sensual and intimate; and that is exactly the impression I am looking for in a fragrance.
Wow, great description. The leather notes might be the tricky part to find replicated. Andy Tauer's L'air du desert Marocain and Guerlain Heritage edp might work for you (both have cedar and amber; the Tauer more incense focused and the Guerlain more patchouli prominent), but if you love Azzemour, pick it up on ebay, and buy several, as all the ones listed are less expensive than most of the options we've listed. That said, do some sampling from The Perfumed Court or Posh Peasant or somewhere and maybe you'll find your next holy grail. Best of luck!

How about Nahema?
Tobacco, leather and spice spell Habanita.
I don't know what your budget is, and in general I'm not a fan of the genre you are describing, but i sure was a fan of Amouage's Tribute. This is $10 just to sample from lucky scent, so yes, it is pricey, but I can't imagine that there is anything better right now. This is a leather/incense parfum that is so top shelf it creates its own shadow.
Another one that might fan the embers of your leather laden evening might be Sonoma Scent Studio's Tabac Aurea. This is a much softer scent than Tribute, but is getting rave reviews. ($3 to sample)

Interesting thread. For those of us that haven't tried Azzemour, it's like trying to crack a mystery. I'd like to add three that I think you should consider trying:
Shaal Nur by Etro This beautiful, complex fragrance is named after an Indian princess. Here are the notes (from Etro's website):
- Top: Citrus floral (lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, tangerine, rosewood, coriander)
- Heart: Aromatic floral (thyme, tarragon, rosemary, karo karoundé, rose, petit grain)
- Base: Spicy, woody, amber (nutmeg, patchouli, vetiver, cedar wood, opoponax, incense, musk)
L'Oiseau de Nuit by Parfumerie Generale This one is a rich, sweet leather-amber. It has that slightly powdery-dreamy quality that I think you might be after. For me, it's hard to describe. Notes (from LuckyScent):
- Cistus Labdanum, Liqueur of Davana, Benzoin, Leather
Tolu by Ormonde Jayne This is another amber-based beauty, not technically woody but with a warm oriental feel that might put it in the same ballpark with the others we're talking about. Here is the notes list I have (unknown source):
- Juniper Berry, Orange Blossom, Clary Sage, Orchid, Moroccan Rose, Muguet, Tolu, Tonka Bean, Golden Frankincense, Amber
Good luck with your quest!
Thank you again,
I have a layover in Rome airport soon so I will definitely take advantage of the Dufry there to check scents which may not be available in the U.S. They'll certainly have Shaal Nur by Etro maybe even Amouage Tribute, I will let you know if I get the chande to sample them.
Tomorrow, I will keep an unfortunate perfume counter salesperson busy with my list:
L'air du Desert Marocain Andy Tauer and Heritage by Guerlain, Serge Lutens Chergui, Arabie, Rousse, and Ambre Sultan Jean Desprez Bal a Versailles (if you like skanky musk), thank you Antaeusintheair hehe I shall see if I like skanky musk
Nahema (Merci Madame du Barry)
Chanel Egoiste and Bois des Iles
I may also give Boucheron Trouble another try, I remember being so captivated by the name and the bottle that I sprayed it in CDG and by the end of a 5 hour plane ride the sweetness was still too overwhelming... but of course that is no way to properfly judge a perfume.
Serge Lutens Santal de Mysore and Annick Goutal Sables
I feel like I should just print this out in the form of a check list hehe.
One surprising thing in this quest was that I tried David Yurman on my wrist a couple of days ago and it kept on catching my attention for the rest of the day. I didn't like it muh at first and dismissed it in the beginning but 30 to 45 minutes after spraying it on it would not let me ignore it. This parfum embodies confidence,self-assurance and power, the type of perfume I would wear for a confrontation, a boardroom meeting or a job interview... I may end up adding it to my collection, but it is not my Azzemour replacement
Now I want Azzemour too...

I found this on the web:
As twilight unfolds, Thymes Moonflower envelops you in a rare transformation of dazzling beauty and luxurious fragrance. Anticipation dances and laughter swirls where gilded tones of cinnamon, clove and sugared quince embrace on fresh myrtle leaves and rich mahogany mingles with dark amber and smooth cognac. A golden shimmer lingers on your skin reflecting joyous moments, which sparkle through your night and last until dawn...
If you were a fan of Crabtree & Evelyns Nadira or Azzemour, you will love this scent!
Another site I saw says that Azzemour was repackaged as Nadira, so it will be cheaper to find Nadira back stock, I think.

To my mind, Amouage Homage Attar is one of the best Woody Orientals out there. It is a Woody Oriental, right? Some people list it as a Floral, but it is way stonger than a floral, has a sandalwood base and a smokiness, almost leather-like quality, I cannot call it a Soft Floral or even a Floral Oriental.
Just chipping in to note that the Michael Edwards site recommendations for Azzemour are:
Kingdom by Alexander McQueen;
Samsara by Guerlain; and
Tam Dao by Diptyque.
I'm curious to know whether any of these hit the mark for the Azzemour lover!
I would also try Donna Karen Cashmere Mist. This is a very nice Oriental-Woody. It has a lovely powdery dry down as well. I think the best is to try the EDT, in the frosted bottle), as have sampled the EDP (clear bottle), and it's a bit astringent to me. It starts out with a slight citrus-going into a nice soft floral, followed by a nice dry down, with the base notes including, amber, sandalwood, Musk, and touch of vanilla. Worth a try!
Based on your description of the scent I would say you should give Chergui, Dolce Vita, Feminite du bois and Bois du violette a try.

And, please let me add this wonderful perfume! I can't understand why I forgot to mention this wonderful fragrance! Chanel Coromandel. This is a very expensive frag., but try to get a sample or small decant, even just to try it! I would give my eye teeth for a FB of this treasure!
Omnia by Bulgari is a nice woody oriental that I enjoy. Pretty easy to find, too.
For some reason I feel like recommending Habit Rouge L'Extrait and Lubin Idole Eau de Parfum.
My Top Ten:
1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge
2: Guerlain - Jicky
3: Guerlain - Mouchoir de Monsieur
4: Guerlain - Shalimar
5: Knize - Knize Ten
6: Caron - Yatagan
7: Caron - Pour Un Homme
8: Jean Desprez - Bal a Versailles
9: Yves Saint Laurent - M7
10: Salvador Dali - Dali Pour Homme
I am going to throw one out into the ring...Calvin Klein's Obsession ...

Ultraviolet (AU - DVD R4)
Brett Anderson takes a look at the Sony release of the Kurt Wimmer feature film
Several years ago Writer Director Kurt Wimmer scored big points with many film buffs and critics with his fantastic sci-fi action flick Equilibrium. Despite good reviews and a good internet vibe, the film was only granted a limited release and flopped at American box office. Despite decent takings in the UK, the film went on to be a direct to video film in most other countries, Australia included. Despite this the word spread and Equilibrium went on to become a cult favourite. It was only a matter of time before we saw a follow up from Wimmer.
This brings us to Ultraviolet. Like Wimmer's previous film, this is set 'in the near future', where the government has attempted to create an army of genetically advanced super-soldiers. Instead, they gave birth to a vampire-like virus. Those infected, known as hemophages, are considered a danger to society and are hunted down. Enter Violet (Milla Jovavich), a hemophage who is working to fight back against her government oppressors. During a sabotage mission, she comes across a young boy who is considered the ultimate threat to the future of hemophages. Having had her child stolen from her, Violet feels a maternal duty to defend this child and to find out what the governments plans really are. Cue many action scenes!
As one can probably tell, Ultraviolet absolutely sticks of Equilibrium. The plots are very similar in the sense that you have a well trained hero who fights and oppressive government using unusual yet highly effective fighting skills. This is the films biggest drag in terms of plot. It seems that Wimmer was so happy with his first film that he'd though he's change just a few things and try it all over again. However, trying to piece together elements of Equilibrium that worked into a new film makes this very messy and disjointed. The action scenes feel very forced and make the films momentum very jagged.
Not helping are the films absolutely appalling special effects. The opening credits establish that this is based on a comic book, but even still, for a film with a thirty-plus million dollar budget it frequently looks like a Looney Toons show crossed with an episode of South Park. Was this meant to reflect the films comic book origins? Who knows, it's not really made clear.
One can't be too harsh however, as word is that Wimmer produced a film that was much smoother and character driven, However the studio put pressure on him to dumb the film down and pump up the action. Because of this pressure, Wimmer reportedly had to cut around thirty minutes of character and plot development. Perhaps one day we will see a directors cut? This rumour is easy to believe, especially since the current cut clocks in at around seventy-nine minutes (excluding credits).
Perhaps it is because of these cuts that Ultraviolet's plot is so messy. We jump from one place to the next without any real sense of flow. We also get very little from our hero Violet. Milla Jovavich does well in a role she has played before in Resident Evil, but all we get from Violet is the maternal angle, which is driven forward so much that it gets stale quickly. Can we know a little more about her please?
Even though Equilibrium showed us some very well conceived and inventive action sequences, this film seems to struggle to deliver in the same fashion. Wimmer tries to keep the action fresh and original, but in the end we still feel like we are watching another director trying to rip Equilibrium off as only one in three action scenes hits the desired target. Don't be fooled though, those one in three are pretty darn good. Violet's sword fight in a church and her gunfight in a library are very nice. Despite horrible CGI the sequence of her riding her bike alone a building wall is also lots of fun.
Ultraviolet seems to be a missed opportunity. There is plenty of room here for a decent film but so much seemed so wrong that it was hard to get into it as deep as Equilibrium. Hopefully one day we will see this rumoured directors cut and it improved on these many missed opportunities. For now, we get this cut which is worth checking out if you saw Equilibrium, but otherwise you might not find much to like here.
Presented in 1.85:1 widescreen, the film looks very good. There are many different colours used in the film, which do make it quite a visual feast. Each looks great and are perfectly contrasted. There is little interference from those ever-so annoying film artefacts and the grain levels are near non existent (I may have seen some pixilation at times but I'm not sure it wasn't my imagination). Overall a very nice video transfer.
The English 5.1 Surround track is very nice. Everything sounds lovely. There are no sync slip-ups. Dialogue is nice and clear and never drowned out by the surrounds, which are put to good use. Ambient sounds are absolutely brilliant and some of the bullet action is made a little more intense by having them sound like they're flying past your head. The sub also benefits the music track and the numerous action sequences. A fun action film surround track.
First off is an audio commentary by Milla Jovovich. Although Milla is lovely, she seems a little lost for words here, as there are lengthy periods of silence throughout. Why Kurt Wimmer wasn't involved is a mystery. Maybe was has unhappy with this supposed 'tainted' cut of the film? If so, why didn't he join the commentary and tell us about it!?
There are a few deleted scenes which include an alternate opening. Not much here, but may be interesting if you have a soft spot for the film. Finally there is a making of feature called 'UV Protection', a half hour look at the film that is interesting, but not mind-blowing. Overall not too bad, but it seems like there could have been a little more here.
Ultraviolet seems a missed opportunity. If rumours of a Wimmer directors cut are true, maybe there is hope, but for now we get a just average action flick which lacks the character development and cohesiveness to keep it together. Fans of Wimmer's earlier work may enjoy it, everyone else should approach with caution. The DVD is a tidy little package with a lovely audio and video transfer and some decent, if slightly neglected extras.

Virtual Developer Workshop: Containerized Development with Docker
Environment: VC6, Windows 98, NT4 (IE4), Windows 2000.
The documentation is sparse, because I do not have much time to write documentation. However, the included demo is a great help in understanding how to use the features of the control and many features are demonstrated in a practical manner. The interfaces of the controls highly resemble the interfaces of similiar MFC controls, like the list control and header control. So, for the more experienced MFC coder, it should not be a big problem to understand how to use the control in their own projects...
Version history excerpt (refer to source file for complete history):
- Fixed bug in DeleteItem for tree control mode.
- Fixed item expansion for single subitem hierarchy items.
- Added GetExpandedItemText to allow expanded items to show different text from the subitem text.
- Added support for radio button and disabled check marks and radio buttons.
- Added RVP_ENABLEFLATCHECKMARK property, to control the visual style of check marks or radio buttons.
- Added support for check mark and radio button image list.
- Changed CurrentFocus() to GetCurrentFocus().
- Changed OnKillFocus to recognize all child windows.
- Extended MeasureItem function.
- Fixed GetNextItem() for RVTI_ROOT.

- Fixed a bug related to keydown messages in unfocused state.
- Fixed tip redraw problem and tip background color mismatch.
- Fixed kill tip on WM_KILLFOCUS, finally fixing click and double click on expanded subitems.
- Added GetSelectedItems method.
- Fixed a selection bug in ClearSelection.
- Made GetReportCtrlPtr virtual and changed CReportView to use overriden function to get a pointer to the embedded CReportCtrl. This allows control derived from CReportCtrl to be embedded in CReportView.
- Added UpdateWindow to SetRedraw when re-enabling redrawing.
- Removed legacy definitions from header file.
- Added blended image support through state bits, focus and selection through the RVP_ENABLEIMAGEBLENDING and RVP_BLENDCOLOR properties.
- Added support for overlay images.
- Added Win2K tip fading to CReportTipCtrl.
- Fixed nFormat subitem member update in OnHdnItemChanged, as suggested by Sven Ritter.
- Added selective item cache flush to SetItemCount.
- Added GetItemString() function to retrieve an item as a string.
- Added clipboard Copy support and clipboard separator and indent properties.
- Fixed OnRvnEndItemEdit to not loose lParam, as suggested by Paul Hurley.
- Added GetSortSettings() to retrieve sorting settings.
- Made SelectRows virtual to allow owner data multiple selection management.
- Fixed a bug in DeleteItem for trees.
- Fixed various mouse button, keyboard selection/focus issues.
The control uses Keith Rules MemDC class for flicker free drawing.
