All this work also has to happen at visitor centers, offices, residences, and other facilities, as well. Opening offices and residences for staff are a high priority because campgrounds and other facilities need staff in order to operate.
As a result, campgrounds usually don't begin opening until at least two to four weeks after the Tioga Road opens.

If you live in Yolo County and haven't driven up the Capay Valley, shame on you.
There's something about rolling down the window and heading up Highway 16 that really showcases Yolo's hidden folds. It could be the rolling farmlands, swaying road or perhaps the generous 55 mile-per-hour speed limit. In any case, it evokes a certain fascination.
Even more cathartic is the road's end destination: Cache Creek Regional Park.
But first, a note from behind the wheel:
I enjoy driving. Road trips bring me excitement that begins with topping up the Jeep's fluids and ends with editing the final photo of the experience. Most of my adult life has been a series of such trips, often with few comforts, minimal sleep and a thumb glued to the radio's "scan" button. I wouldn't have it any other way.
But sometimes that joy slips under the tires in California. The shortest local routes are usually multi-lane speedways that combine poor vistas with egregious Sacramento driving. "Scenic" is not a word I use to describe semi-trucks, cement barriers and enough road debris to supply the set of another "Mad Max" movie.
Long story short, a drive up the Capay Valley offers a more meaningful roadfaring experience. It may take an hour to reach the Cache Canyon from Woodland, but I'd prefer it over a half-hour of white-knuckled, I-can-see-why-California-insurance-costs-so-much driving.
That brings me to a point: if you enjoy the drive, isn't it part of the trip?
With so much focus on the destination, I think drivers often forget that two hours in the car can actually be part of the package. Such is the case in Northern Yolo.
Once Woodland's suburbia drops away and the road begins to narrow, the county transforms. Multiple orchards and crops on both sides of the road couple well with small homes and businesses in the area. As the valley narrows, walls of mountain squeeze closer to the windows and make you feel like you've gained altitude (you really haven't).
It might be important to note that many sections of Hwy. 16 were recently repaved. All the more reason to take the Ferrari.
Most locals know that the small towns dotting this road have secrets — Esparto has farm-charm, the Guinda Corner Store has a stellar Instagram, and the Road Trip Bar & Grill is a real place, not just a fridge magnet that someone left in my apartment.
I must admit that as a County-based reporter myself, I often hone in on incorporated areas, policies, officials and businesses; it's almost easy to forget that the county has land at all, let alone a gorgeous slice of America's West Side.
So take my word for it: the Capay Valley drive complements whatever destination it brings you to.
As for myself and my girlfriend, we usually turn off the road just before the county ends, at one of the coolest nature spots around.
It seems as though the Cache Creek Regional Park does little to advertise itself. Aside from regular hikers and rafters, I rarely hear anyone talk about it or make plans to visit. Ironic, given that I overhear many locals mope and whine about a lack of recreation in Yolo County.
The area has many fire roads and hiking trails that climb the canyon, and we decided to take the Blue Ridge Trail, thanks to ample coverage from Yolo Hiker.
This trail starts just after crossing the low-water bridge that many tubers use to end their journey down Cache Creek.
Parking in the lot requires a small fee, but it seems you can park in the dirt lots near it for no charge — don't quote me on that.
Despite the fact that very few people occupy the area on any given weekend, there's plenty of signature around the trails. Blue Ridge Trail cuts left just after crossing the bridge (which has immaculate skipping stones).
I won't lie — sections of this trail are steep, but for the most part, safe. The base of the trail is mostly wooded; after a couple miles, the trees clear to reveal a great view of the creek and valley.
Four miles up, you'll find (what I believe to be) Fiske Point, which juts out of the mountainside. If you packed snacks, this is the place to bust them out.
Fiske Point allows you to look at both sides of the Valley, and if you catch it as the sun nears the peaks, it's well worth whatever aches you acquired on the way up.
If you continue to climb the trail, it will eventually lead to a much longer, harder loop along fire roads. I wouldn't recommend it unless you started very early in the day and don't mind a severely overgrown trail.
You can view most of the trails and roads via the Yolo Hiker site or on mtbproject.com.
Liz and I did the eight-mile loop with minimal gear, just granola bars, water and a small backpack with a camera. Hiking boots could be a plus, but normal running shoes did us fine.
If climbing mountains isn't your thing, the riverside seems like the perfect place to chill out and soak in some of that good nature.
So find a good day to make the drive. Experience one of Yolo County's most scenic corners.

Choosing the Right Treatment Center
Addiction is often much more complicated than just stopping drinking or using mood-altering drugs. There are usually significant underlying psychological issues that must be identified and addressed to ensure the right type of treatment. Maybe you have undiagnosed clinical depression or you experienced a traumatic event that still haunts you. Maybe you have a problem with spending money or gambling as well. By choosing a treatment center that understands the potential issues that could put you at risk of relapse, you can be assured that the clinicians will be able to develop a comprehensive approach to treating your addiction.
In the past few years there have been many changes in the philosophy of treatment. Some of these changes are based more on feel-good ideas or anecdotal evidence. For example, someone might claim they can cure you, or they may claim a specific "cure rate" based on little more than their word. If it feels like you're being sold snake oil, you probably are.
Other programs may believe that by giving you prescription drugs as replacement therapy they are giving you the opportunity for a drug-free life. But aren't they just switching one drug for another? If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The best treatment centers understand that replacement drugs are best used to help mitigate the effects of withdrawal and should not become your new drug of choice.
Recovery from addiction is a process. It does not end when you return home. The best treatment centers understand that they are essentially building a bridge to recovery. What you do when you arrive on the other side of that bridge (return home) is going to determine your success. Promises Treatment Centers fully understand this fact: we must give you the tools to succeed on the other side of that bridge for you to maintain long-term sobriety and create an extraordinary life for yourself.
We encourage you to call Promises Treatment Centers today to ask the most important questions:
How do you assess the issues that might be triggers for relapse when I return home?
What sort of support do you offer upon leaving the program?
Who handles my treatment? Are they licensed clinicians and skilled addiction treatment specialists? Will I be able to see a psychiatrist during my stay? Not every treatment center offers this level of expertise.
Promises has been treating addiction for over 20 years. We have one of the most active and healthy alumni networks in the country. Our alumni are the greatest testament to the success of our treatment program.
If you are researching treatment centers, call us to find out why we continue to have the reputation of being the place to get the most effective addiction treatment in an environment that makes so many of our clients want to stay here even when the month is over.

So, there's been an ongoing debate across several blogs and fora for at least two weeks, perhaps more, about what counts as an innovative new product, whether the OSR is truly innovative, and which direction it should be heading: towards more settings (and more innovative settings,) or towards more rules? This post at Tenkar's Tavern was not the first such post, but it sort of redirected the debate from bitching about individual products to actually thinking about what people's ideals should be. And the Bat in the Attic blog raised some good points. So now I'm going to give you my thoughts.
Let's get this out of the way right now: everyone who reads my blog should know by now I don't think highly of rules, especially mechanics. I''ve said on more than one occasion that I think mechanics -- which dice you roll and how you modify them -- are the least important and least interesting part of an RPG. The rules that surround the mechanics, mostly conditionals like "if you are a fighter and you are facing opponents of 1 HD or less, you can fight a number of opponents equal to your level", are more important, but even those are subservient to the concepts of the setting they are meant to embody. Which, I believe, is the main point of that Bat in the Attic post.
But that doesn't mean I'm wholely behind setting as the goal. Not what we think of as setting, at least. I find the vast majority of setting products pretty boring and poorly put together. The preference is for setting books written like text books, like the writer is some kind of explorer reporting back on the customs and significant sights of some far-away land. It results in pretty much unusable products.
What I am more interested in is setting elements. Have you ever considered the fact that Vornheim is a setting book? Not an entire setting: it suggests some broad details about the world of Vornheim, but doesn't detail all the existing kingdoms or the surrounding geography, and it doesn't even detail every single part of the city. Instead, it tells you what a Vornheim-like city would be, and gives you tools to implement Vornheim-ish details, with the full understanding that you'll probably be dropping this into another setting and making any changes necessary to make it fit. I haven't seen Slumbering Ursine Dunes, but I understand it works in somewhat the same way: the writer has a broad setting in mind, but the product is not about cataloging minutiae in one section of that setting, but is instead a locale with a unique feel that you could drop into whatever setting you are using, with tools to help implement that feel.
Another example would be products like The Dungeon Alphabet. You're probably choking on your own spittle right now and screaming "That's not a setting product! It's just random tables!" Yes, but those tables are built with certain setting assumptions in mind. They are tools designed to produce that kind of setting. Compare the Dungeon Alphabet tables to those in The Dungeon Dozen, if you don't believe me. Like most OSR products, both assume a more or less bog--standard fantasy world, but there are slight differences in the kinds of things you get out of each.
This is what I think the focus of the OSR should be. THIS kind of product. Not necessarily a city or an adventure, but more like a locale or a thematic set, with tools to create something that looks and feels a specific way. For what we traditionally think of as setting products -- gazetteers or city guides -- there should be less "wall of text" and more like a short introductory paragraph and three to five significant features presented as bullet points (this RPGPundit post on his Arrows of Indra setting should serve as an example,) followed by random tables, monsters, treasures, NPCs, or events that you could drop practically anywhere as needed to reflect the look and feel of that area.
Innovation, in this case, means creating setting elements with a new look and feel. What kinds of kingdoms, cities, dungeons, or wilderness haven't been presented, or haven't been presented properly? What could we do that is different, that really evokes a distinctive style? That's what I want to see the OSR doing.

This is what you get without a First Amendment
I, for one, did pretty well without a first amendment for 25 years. The advantage of being English is, we don't need a constitution to tell us what's common sense.
You may scoff at it, but common sense is one of the most seriously-taken arbiters of social responsibility in England. Indeed, it probably is good common sense to stop Anglican preachers from trying it on with Muslims.
It's when I hear gun fanatics yelping about the second amendment that I'm really convinced: A written document laying out people's 'rights' is more open to interpretation than a silent understanding of what is and what is not acceptable.
That's Englishness.
This American prefers written law to 'silent understanding', 'winks and nods' etc.
we don't need a constitution to tell us what's common sense.
Interesting...the reason we have it is to restrict the government when it comes to English "common sense."
"Shariah law is inevitable" in the United Kingdom. And some how that is a bad thing?
Well Meg, it certainly doesn't have a glowing history in any of the countries where it is claimed to be practiced, does it?
I can see it now - "what are we going to do this weekend dear? I know, let's take the kids down to Kensington Square and watch the stoning! Fun for all!"

Re: Massey-Harris Company Limited - Toronto, Ontario, Canada From the notes supplied by Ray Miller of 2815 Niagara Boulevard, Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. L2A 5M4.
One of Canada's successful farm machinery manufacturers in the first half of the nineteenth century started building implements in 1847. Daniel Massey (1798 to 1856) of Newcastle was responsible for some of the earliest farm tools to be manufactured in Canada.
Massey's Agricultural Works, as it was first known, was comprised of a machine shop, a wood working shop and a foundry and blacksmith shop. From this small beginning, Daniel Massey began building plows, harrows and a horse driven sweep power. Later a number of other types of equipment were added to the line; such as threshing machines, windmills, washing machines and gasoline engines.
In 1891 Alanson Harris entered the company as a partner. Mr. Harris was a skilled mechanic, and a competitor, who brought much to the organization. Then, in 1953, Harry Ferguson of England, who had his own well known line of Ferguson Equipment, aligned himself with the company and the name was changed to Massey-Harris Ferguson Limited, and later changed to Massey-Ferguson, its present name, in 1957. The company headquarters has been located in Toronto since 1879.
Many improvements were added to the growing list of equipment in the development of agricultural machinery from this firm. The combined reaper and mower was a great help to the wheat farmers in the plains. Massey's mower supplied the farmer with a suitable means of haying, as did the Sharp's rakes. Many other inventions were added to the equipment making it more efficient for the farmer to harvest his crops.
Through the years, this fast growing corporation added many Canadian manufacturers to the parent company. The first American company acquired was the Johnston Harvester Company of Batavia, New York. This firm was incorporated in 1871. In 1912, looking forward to the needs of the Canadian farmer, Massey Harris purchased the successful and well established Deyo-Macey Engine plant in Binghampton, New York, in order to establish their own gasoline engine production facilities in Canada. Some Massey-Harris engines were built as early as 1914 in Binghampton, New York. The plant and equipment of the Deyo-Macey Company was moved to the Weston (Toronto), Ontario, works of Massey-Harris in 1916. Company records indicate these facts and they are also borne out by a search of the Binghampton, New York, directories which last list Deyo-Macey in 1916. The Deyo firm was first listed in 1901 under the name Davis and Deyo.
The Deyo engine and the Type 1 Massey-Harris engine, in a number of respects, would remind a collector of the Olds engines. It should be noted that prior to building their own line of engines, Massey-Harris sold the well known Olds engines in Canada.
The first engine to carry the Massey-Harris name, the Type 1, was built about 1914. This was a single cylinder, horizontal unit, with water hopper cooling; larger units could be tank cooled. It was of the open crankcase type with heavy cast iron fender and was battery, spark plug, and coil type ignition. The engines were built of component parts which consisted of the major cast iron sub-base, on which was mounted the main bearings. The power end and water jacket are bolted to the base by studs around the neck of the cylinder. The crankshaft is laid in the bearing journals and is set at an angle of 30 degrees. Thrust of the crankshaft comes against the frame and the wear is easily taken up by adjustment of the main bearings. Governor systems were of the hit and miss type.
The 1-1/2 H.P., Type 1, engine was patterned after the small Deyo engine. In design and operation it is very similar to the well known Fairbanks-Morse 1-1/2 H.P., hit and miss, side valve, or headless engine. The governor weight was in the flywheel and a detent blade held open the horizontal exhaust valve.
All the larger engines governed the valve stem by a replaceable, hardened, governor button on the end of a long, horizontal, exhaust lever which is pivoted on the base and is driven by a cam and a small wheel that does away with the wear on the cam and valve lever. On the Type 1 old style engines, with battery and spark plug ignition, a timer blade is mounted on top of the exhaust valve lever and makes contact with the cam on the timing gear. The carburetor is suspended under the intake ventura tube and it consists of an air throttle valve and a needle valve to control the fuel. It fastens to the intake ventura by two stub bolts. The Type 1 engines were built from 1914 to 1922, inclusive.
The Type 1 engine had a single governor weight mounted on a bolt which was fastened thrugh one of the spokes of the flywheel. The 1-1/2 H.P. and the later 2 H.P. Did not have a removable water hopper. On the larger sizes, the water hopper was separate and bolted to the top of the cylinder. The cylinder was closed at the valve end and a frost breaking plate was bolted to the underside of the cylinder. An outstanding: feature of the cylinder is the vertical valve arrangement patterned after the Deyo design, with the top automatic intake connected to the mixing valve. The mechanical exhaust valve was operated from a long lever, at the end of which was the governor mounted in the flywheel. This design eliminated the push rod and other necessary features on the. usual type of valve mechanism. In some respects this cylinder design is comparable to the 'Olds' gasoline engine. On the Type 1, old style, both exhaust and intake valves were mounted in removable cages.

Portable engines could be bought mounted on cast iron trucks, which were equipped with a vertical cooling tank. The engine body and skid were painted red; the flywheels were green, striping was yellow. Yellow striping and fancy scroll design with the words Massey-Harris were on each side of the water hopper. On the headless end, above the intake valve on the water hopper, was a decal depicting both views of the globe, or atlas, with the words 'Highest Class Farm Implements in the British Empire'. It should be noted that Massey-Harris equipment was sold in South Africa and Australia, as well as other countries of the British Commonwealth. However, Massey-Harris engines built in Canada were much different from those of the same name built in the U.S.
The specification for the O.S. (Old Style), Type 1, Massey-Harris engines were as follows:
|Flywheels In,.
|16 x 2-1/4
|24 x 2-1/4
|29 x 2-3/8
|33 x 2-5/8
|36 x 3
|38 x 3-1/4
|40 x 3-1/2
|42 x 4
These were shipped skidded, with a set of accessories, (extra spark plug, oil can, etc.), including a battery and battery box. 3 to 20 HP engines had a removable water hopper and these sizes were also available with closed cooling jacket employing a separate tank with centrifugal circulating Dump for stationary applications.
On the Type 1, old style, with battery and spark plug ignition, the timing gears were located outside of the crankcase. These engines were but at Binghampton, New York, at the former Deyo-Macey works between. 1914 and 1916.
This type was followed by the Type 1, O.R. (Old Rating). These were the first of the Type 1 with the exhaust valves seated in the cylinder; the intake valves were still mounted in removable cages directly above the exhaust valve. This design would permit removal of the exhaust valve for service. On the 'old rating' the timing gears were placed inside the crankcase. The horsepower ratings were the same as the Type 1, old style, (see above). Production of these commenced at the Toronto works. The specifications for the N.R. (New Rating) Type 1, Massey-Harris engines were as follows:
|Flywheels In,.
|19-3/4 x 2-1/4
|38 x 3-1/4
|40 x 3-1/2
First production of the Type 1, N.R., 2 H.P., was equipped with battery and spark plug ignition. The 2 H.P. was first equipped with a Webster magneto in 1919.
Company records seem to indicate that reduced horsepower ratings had some relation to exhaust valve location.
Portable truck mounted horse-drawn saw rigs powered by the Type 1 engines were available. They were made in the following sizes: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, with 4-1/2 H.P. engines; No. 4 and No. 5 with 6 H.P. engines. In addition, fruit sprayers were built in various sizes using 1-1/2 H.P. engines. Contractor units included pumps and hoists.
In 1923, Massey - Harris engineers designed a new engine, the Massey-Harris Type 2. This was a throttling governor engine with a combination, two chamber carburetor that permitted gasoline or kerosene to be used for fuel. The carburetor was mounted beneath the cylinder head and in some respects resembled the carburetor on a Fairbanks-Morse, Type ZA, engine. No fuel pump was used, but at the outlet of the fuel tank, a check valve was used in the fuel line. This engine had a one piece cylinder and water hopper casting. The valves were located in the removable cylinder head. The governor weights were mounted in the flywheel.
The Type 2 engines were built in ratings of 1-1/2, 3, 4-1/2 and 6 HP. These engines were simple and straight forward in appearance and the full-rated horsepowers were available from either gasoline or kerosene. On the larger sizes water could be introduced into the combustion chamber to prevent pounding under load.
Specifications for Massey-Harris Type 2 engines:
Net Wht.
17 x 1-3/4
21 x 2
24 x 2-1/4
28 x 2-1/2
Engines were painted all red except for the magneto; striping was yellow. The Type 2 engines were built from 1923 through 1932 inclusive.
In 1933, Massey-Harris engineers again brought out a new design, the Massey-Harris Type 3 engine. Specifications for the Massey Harris Type 3 engines are as follows:
These had throttling governors designed to use gasoline or kerosene. Provision was provided for introducing water into the combustion chamber on the 6 H.P. Former Massey-Harris employees have stated that they doubt any 6 H.P., Type 3, engines were ever really built. The Type 3 engines are rather uncommon. A number of 3 H.P., Type 3, engines apparently were shipped to British Columbia on orchard sprayers. These engines were equipped with a diaphragm type fuel pump; semi self-oiling, single flywheel, and used a rotary high tension Wico magneto. The Type 3 engines were offered for sale from 1933 through 1935.
These were the last engines actually built by Massey-Harris at their Toronto works. From 1936 to 1952, Massey-Harris sold the well known 'R' model engines built by Cushman Motor Works of Lincoln, Nebraska, who are still in business. Cushman Motor Works have no serial number lists available as to what year any 'R' model engines were built.
These were self oiling, water cooled, two disc type flywheels, with Wico EK magneto and throttling governor, and could be equipped to burn kerosene. They were the result of years of advancement in the style of small farm type gasoline engines. Modern foundry practices were adhered to for the advanced designs. On a suitable cast iron sub-base was mounted the one piece casting for the horizontal enclosed crankcase with open water hopper. Through the side opening was mounted the heavy drop forged crankshaft and the adjustable Timken tapered roller bearings and the timing gear. An inspection hole provided access to the connecting rod bearing.
The engine governor is of the Flyball type to give regulation for all speeds. The special Wico high tension magneto and spark plugs furnished the ignition system. The mixing valve is a simple design and it is provided with a special bowl to adapt the engine to burn kerosene. A 5 - 6 H.P. single cylinder engine and a 10 - 12 H.P. twin cylinder engine were also available. These were vertical cylinder engines, 'L' head design, and used high tension Wico rotary magnetos. These were also self oiling and water-cooled. The vertical engines were also built by Cushman. Radiator or tank cooling systems were used and a throw out clutch was available. A Tillotson type automotive carburetor was used. Power plants using the Continental 'Red Seal' engines were also available: 4 cylinder at 24 HP; 6 cylinder at 37 HP, and 6 cylinder at 50 HP.
Specifications for the Massey-Harris (Cushman built) engines are as follows:
RPM Variable
|Bore & stroke
|Water Gals.
|Shipp. Wgt.
400 -800
|3-1/4 x 4-1/2
|3-1/2 x 4-1/2
|3-3/4 x 4-1/2
The 4 H.P. used an extra high (extended) water hopper. The 5 - 6 H.P. vertical, single cylinder engine had the folio wine specifications:
|Piston Displ. Cubic In.
|Bore & Stroke
|Water Gals.

Bringing the modern type of gasoline engine, which Massey-Harris Company Ltd., distributed to this date, you will find the Model 'S' engine built for Massey-Harris by the D. R. Clarke Engine Company Limited of Toronto, Ontario. The Canadian Trade Index lists the Clarke firm for the first time in 1939. They are listed as makers of air-cooled gasoline engines for marine and shore use, up until 1958; after which time they built pressure water systems and pumps until they went bankrupt in 1967. The Model 'S' engine was sold by Massey-Harris from 1946 until 1951. These same engines were also sold by the DeLaval Cream Separator Company in Canada.
From 1951 to 1956 Massey-Harris, and latterly Massey-Harris Ferguson, sold the 'Weather King', Model 18, engines. Company records indicate that the sale of gas engines by Massey-Harris Ferguson was concluded in 1956. No definite information exists as to who built the 'Weather King' engines, but it is stated that Massey-Harris did not make an air-cooled engine and bought these from other manufacturers. Both Model 'S' and 'Weather King' are air-cooled engines of the variable speed type.
|Model 'S' Specifications:
|Max. Power
|Bore & Stroke
|2-1/2' x 2-1/2'
|2-1/2' x 2-1/2'
'Weather King', Model 18, Specifications:
|Max. Power
|Bore & Stroke
|3' x 2-1/2'
|3' x 2-1/2'
'Weather King' available in 2 sizes; 2-3 H.P. and 5 H.P.
The Model 'S' stationery engine is a vertical, totally enclosed unit, with splash lubrication, and a metering tray located in the crankcase to regulate the amount of oil. A lightweight, durable, high quality, piston of aluminum alloy was used on these engines. Valves are a special high quality steel. The 'I' type connecting rod, of aluminum, has a strong bearing enclosure. Supported on two sturdy Timken tapered roller bearings is the 1-3/16' crankshaft of quality steel. Not usually found in engines of this type is the Timken tapered roller bearing camshaft. Another feature of these engines is the automotive type carburetor that requires no adjustments. The float level is adjusted by adding or removing gaskets or shims between the top and bottom halves of the carburetor. The ignition is supplied from a flywheel type magneto. The Model 'S' engine has a compression ratio of 5 to 1. The displacement is 12-1/4 cubic inches. Weight is 82 pounds. Its continuous operation rating is 1 to 2-1/2 H.P.
The Massey-Harris 'Weather King' is a larger engine even though it weighs only 60 pounds. The displacement is 18 cubic inches. It has the general design and most of the features of the Model 'S'. The 'Weather King' had a continuous operation rating of 1-1/2 H.P. at 1500 R.P.M. to 3 H.P. at 2200 R.P.M.
The trade mark of Massey-Ferguson Limited is the triple triangle with the three corners superimposed. The initial 'M' is placed in the lower left hand triangle and the 'F' is placed in the lower right hand triangle. Blue background supports the initials, with white initials and edges.
The Massey-Harris plant at Weston (Toronto) was converted to aircraft wing production during the Second World War. Apparently sometime after this date all the records of engine serial numbers and dates of manufacture were either lost or destroyed. Many collectors are interested in the date when engines were made. Not having serial number records by the date, the following information may establish the possible year these were made.
The Type 2 engine was only equipped with an all brass mixer and a Webster magneto in 1923, the first year the Type 2 was built. In 1924, the ignition was changed to the Wico magneto and this type was used until 1932, when Type 2 engines were discontinued. In 1926 a Wico SK magneto and mounting bracket was made available to convert the 1923 Webster magneto equipped engines to spark plug ignition. The 1923 Type 2 engines used a slightly different design of governor weight pins to those used in 1924 and later years. The sight glass gauge was first used on the gas tank on the 1924 engine.
On Type 1 engines, grease cups were used on main bearings. From 1923 through 1925, a rectangular type oil well with wicking was used on Type 2 engines. Syphon type oilers were used on the main bearings on the Type 2 engines in 1926 to 1932.
On some models of the Type 1 engine, ignition was accomplished by locating the Webster magneto and a specially designed ignitor directly at the end of the cylinder in the headless engine. The magneto was 'tripped' by a vertical lever connected to the long exhaust rocker arm. On this system, the magneto was only operated when ignition was required. On other models, the Webster magneto and ignitor were located between the intake and exhaust valves and in this case, the magneto was tripped on every 'compression' stroke even though the hit and miss engine could be 'idle' or 'coasting' with the exhaust valve held open by the governor.
On Type 1 and Type 2 engines, casting numbers had the prefix 'AA' followed by several numbers. On Type 3 engines, casting numbers had several prefixes, such as 'AA', 'AC', etc.
On Type 3 engines, a drip feed sight oiler was used to lubricate the cylinder and an oil dip stick was used to check the level of oil in the sump. On the Type 3 engines, the splash type lubrication system was used.
Thank you for the many letters I received during the year, and I am anxious to answer your questions, mostly about Fairbanks, Morse engines. I am behind with my correspondence but hope to catch up in the near future; also it will help me if you can send me a self addressed and stamped envelope.

Is it possible for a recording to be both serene and exciting? It sounds contradictory but the answer is yes.
Abram Bezuijen's impressive technique puts him in the league of world-class performers of the Goldberg Variations. Although written for harpsichord, this work easily translates to organ and the result is gorgeous. The sounds of the organ beautifully mix the intricate and energetic counterpoint of the Goldberg Variations. At times large and majestic, at other times intimate and lovely. Hence, I found the performance both serene and exciting. A unique and recommended addition to the recordings of the Goldberg Variations.
M. van Laar said:
Played on the Schnitger-organ at Weener (BRD). The recording sounds very natural and the performer really knows how to play Goldberg. 24 page booklet in Dutch, English and German

First, let me be clear. Admiration and respect to all riders/challengers/warriors who participated to the Hoka Hey Challenge, reaching or not the finish line in Homer, Alaska. They have exceptional memories to share for the rest of their lifetime. Prayers for the family who lost one of theirs (at least 2 fatalities have been announced) and for all those injured on the road (6 are reported to be still in hospitals). As of today, some riders are still on the road. Most already in Homer seem mostly satisfied with the Challenge, or I should say, are jazzed up with their own accomplishment.
But it takes nothing away from the riders to ask who won and where is the prize money? And during the 4th July festivities with the riders in Homer it was said…that no winner will be announced until Sturgis Bike Week. Again a decision in contradiction of what was announced by the Hoka Hey organization and that will feed even more the controversy that started before all riders left Key West, FL on June 20th.
Some of you will form their own opinion on the facts already reported in my former posts with some not making judgment until Sturgis Bike Week to see if the $500,000 prize will be or not awarded. I just post 3 new facts that will not make the controversy disappear, quite the opposite.
First, a legal complaint has been formally filed with the State of Florida's Attorney General against the Hoka Hey Challenge and its organizers Beth and Jim Durham of Hot Springs, South Dakota. Jim Durham also goes by the name of Jim Red Cloud. You can read about the object of the complaint by jumping HERE.
Second, because I consider that some comments may be too important for being left buried among the hundreds already written below my former posts about this Hoka Hey Challenge, I re-publish, as received on Saturday July 3rd, 2010, a comment posted questioning the claim made by the challenge organizer Jim "Red Cloud" Durham for being who he claims to be (I accepted to remove the statement following a request by its author on demand of her family).
Third. Today, another person named Gloria Begishe is also publicly challenging on Facebook the lineage that Jim "Red Cloud" Durham is claiming.
"People should look into his "family history. I'm a Lakota, I am from Pine Ridge, He claims two medicine men from my tribe as his grandfathers. I know one of the family he claims, and they have never heard him, met him, or seen him. He claims to be adopted by Oliver Red Cloud… not hard to get needy people to adopt you. This man is not doing anything for "his family" besides using their name sakes. I'm glad everyone is having fun, but this man is using other people's family and history to create an image for himself. I, for one, would LOVE to see some proof of his lineage…. I can prove who my grandparents are, can he? his man seems to be a waste of resources. If he were lying about the family he was born too, why wouldn't he be lying about other stuff… I brought this man to the attention of my grandfather. He laughed. "People say a lot of things to fool others into giving them their monies. They come to our culture because they have none of their own." -Lakota Elder. If you are reading this James Durham (I don't give a rat's ass who adopted you, I will never refer to you seriously as Red Cloud, you didn't earn that name), there are people who want to know whether or not you are their family. If a blood test is necessary, they will be willing to pay for one. Don't care what this man is doing, just wish he would leave my culture out of it! Gloria Begishe God damn part time indians… with fake natives like this around the world. Understand why some people are racist"
Those riders present in Homer, AK participated to a parade and to 4th of July festivities. Eric Wickre of Homer, the first hometown rider to arrive at the finish line of the inaugural Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is one of the upset riders. He found nobody to greet him at 3:30 p.m last Monday. He admitted he had skipped the last four checkpoints in the 8,500-mile race from Florida because, he said, "I pretty much figured the whole thing was a scam." Wickre complained to the Homer Tribune newspaper of a dangerous start, reckless bikers, bad maps and missing route markers. Others state, without any tangible proof until now, that the intention of Jim Durham is to disqualify under multiple pretexts all those who arrived on time before July 4th, a way to escape paying the $500,000 grand prize. Legally, I am told that no crime is committed if the prize is given away as promised by the organizers. But if deceiving practices are used not to award any prize, the South Dakota Attorney General will pursue. The Hoka Hey organization has until Sturgis Bike week to declare and reward a winner. To follow…
And after the facts, the craziest rumor coming from Homer, AK. "Anyone who would claim the $500,000 prize would have to submit himself to an interview with an agent of the FBI, and if lying one time, would be disqualified." Any person, including Big Jim "Red Cloud Durham", who would make such a statement is completely out of his mind because the FBI is never going to interview any participant about their ride. It's not their business. They would only investigate the organizer if justified. I am telling you, The Hoka Hey Challenge is getting weirder every day…
Added July 5th, 2010 at 9.10 pm EST: And now a possible offer of "Reimbursment" to all participants! To escape litigation? (Hoka Hey Challenge. 13084 Greg Drive, Hot Springs, SD, 57747. Phone: 605/745-6527)

What is MalwareViz
Malware Visualization shows the simple stuff of malicious software.
MalwareViz was created to display the actions of a bad file by generating a picture. More information can be found by simply clicking on different parts of the picture.
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler."
~Albert Einstein
The simple goal is to make something easier. Explaining the actions of a malicious file is difficult. The language used is not standard. One person may want to know if the file is simply "bad" while another wants all the details. MalwareViz solves this problem by giving a quick picture of important actions and clickable links to the details.
The design inspiration came from the Enterobacteria phage T4 virus. It is a stomach virus that devours bacteria and is shaped like a "T". The T4 virus is basically a syringe that injects code. Someone reading this may actually have this virus in their small intestines and have a computer virus on their machine.
The language used to explain a biological virus is similar to that of a computer virus. A biological/computer virus will overcome defenses in search of a host. It will inject its instructions or "code" into the host. What happens next depends on what is in the code. Analysis will require watching the actions of a virus or learning to read through the virus code. A difficult question to answer is not just technically "what" it is doing, but why.
- The graphs are SVG. Everything in the graphs are clickable and searchable.

The Phoenix Pack Vol 2
Despite having been besotted with Dante Garcea since she was a child, wolf shifter Jaime Farrow figures that it's time to move past the crush. If he wanted her, he wouldn't have ignored her flirtatious behavior, right? Hiding her intense attraction to him isn't easy – especially now that they're part of the same pack again – but with bigger issues to worry about and with the submissive wolf act to maintain, Jaime is resolute on moving forward. Now if only the workaholic control-freak would let her…
As the pack Beta, Dante doesn't have the space or time in his life for a relationship. As such, he ignores his intense hunger for the willful – and sometimes crazy – Jaime. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante finds that he doesn't like losing her attention. He finds something else too – Jaime's hiding something. Determined to uncover her secret, he sets out to break through her defenses, even though being around her intensifies his cravings for her. What he finds is a problem that Jaime is convinced not even a powerful Beta can solve.
This second volume in the "Phoenix Pack" Series can be read by itself but since I'm reading all the stories, once again I was not disappointed.
Ok, you can see the author pattern in the way she builds her romantic love story and scene sex. But the background plot is always full of entertainment with fighting and humor. Dominic cheesy lines are always hilarious and he is my favorite character so far.
As for Dante and Jaime, they are a lovely couple. Like that the woman has some scars and that she needs to overcome some personal issues. This volume is darker but you learn about never to let go and stop fighting for the ones you love.
Really like the author imagination and way of attracting the reader to care for her personages.
A cool moment to spend with funny crazy touching lethal people.
Cool entertaining read.

I shook my head in disbelief months ago when the Arizona Education Finance Amendment was passed by the voters last May. It does make sense it passed as the Legislature and the governor, those responsible for taking money from the state's school system in the first place, convinced those working in education to go along with the proposal.
What the amendment effectively did was have the education system sell its stuff to pay the education system a portion of what the legislature and governors have been taking to use in other areas since the Great Recession hit in 2008.
Let's put it this way. Let's say I owe you $1,000. I convince you to sell your car for $2,000 to a third party. I get to say to you take $1,000 of your gains and call it the $1,000 I owe you. Now, we're even.
Those clever devils are back at it.
The state has been robbing counties and cities since 2008 of their rightfully due Highway User Revenue Fund dollars. This fund was to provide counties and cities resources to repair and maintain their roads.
Those pot holes you're dodging around town? Thank the robber barons down in Phoenix. They've been sweeping these precious dollars into their state government account to pay other bills and leaving counties and cities high and dry. Thanks, state government politicians.
Are you ready for it?
State Sen. Bob Worsley's Senate Bill 1146 was approved by an Arizona Senate panel as a way to "help fund road improvement projects," according to the Associated Press.
The plan is to get money back to the counties and cities by "increasing vehicle license fees, extending the state gas tax to propane and adding an extra inspection fee on electric cars," the AP wrote in a story published in the Daily Miner Wednesday.
This would free up money to go to roads and repair. Money taken from roads and repairs in the first place. We've been to this rodeo before.
Counties can increase gas taxes by 10 cents a gallon if the bill becomes law.
Once again the Legislature is trying to get us twice. They take our money for roads and repairs, then tell us all they need is more tax money – for roads and repairs. How long will it take them to grab the second source of roads and repairs money?
I'm all for taxes that make our lives better. I like having public safety needs addressed, good schools and safe water to drink.
I only want to be taxed once for things. Our friends in Phoenix keep coming back to the trough. They need to meet their responsibilities just like we do at home.
I'm tired of shaking my head at them in disbelief.

Bittium SafeMove® for Healthcare
Today´s healthcare sector is facing increased pressure to improve patient care with ever diminishing resources. It is clear that to achieve this goal the efficiency of every care worker needs to be improved. An increasing trend within healthcare organizations is to provide quality care in the home rather than in hospitals or medical centers which can lead to reduced hospital admissions among other benefits. In order to provide good home care the community care worker must have access to patient records and other back office services. Providing community care workers with technology such as laptops and tablets with remote access is seen as a key enabler.
This raises the question, how do you provide community care workers with technology that is both easy to use and sufficiently secure? Complicated logon procedures involving manual tokens, patchy cellular network coverage and frequent re-authentications due to network glitches can frustrate the most tolerant care worker. Introducing mobile technology in the care process often requires a culture change. A solution that is too complex to use often leads to a lack of adoption by care workers, who prefer to stick to their existing methods rather than embrace the new mobile working practices. The end result is that the anticipated benefits are not realized. So what is the answer?
With a long experience within the healthcare IT sector, Bittium understands that providing a simple user experience and rock solid security are critical factors in the success of mobile healthcare projects. The Bittium SafeMove Mobile VPN solution helps healthcare organisations overcome the identified challenges and improve the efficiency of community care workers by simplifying secure remote access to critical clinical systems. SafeMove removes the complexity and frustration of mobile working by:
- Connecting the device securely to the office network and domain automatically when the device is switched on
- Automatically choosing the best available network at all times from a cost or speed perspective, be it cellular, WiFi or Ethernet
- Allowing secure use of all available networks such as home Wi-Fi, public Wi-Fi hotspots and guest networks
- Maintaining a secure persistent connection over the best available network and seamlessly moving between networks as needed
- Reliably handling intermittent connections ensuring that on-going work is not lost during network outages
- Persisting the VPN session as the device is put into standby
Bittium SafeMove helps community care workers to use existing desktop applications such as patient record systems, email and collaboration tools in a mobile capacity. In fact, it allows full access to all vital organisational information systems that are available when in the office. A care worker can bring his full library of information with him to where they are needed most, that is, wherever the patient is.
With Bittium SafeMove, community care workers and other health care professionals do not have to worry about the complexities associated with mobile devices, networks and security. They are connected, their information is safe and they can focus on their work, whether it is remote consulting, patient rounds, home care, emergency response or any other important task.
Bittium SafeMove is tested and proven with NHS smart card and NHS applications such as SystemOne Electronic Patient Record and NHS Mail.

Bittium SafeMove® for Utilities
A constant high-quality connection is a key factor in efficient remote access. This is true for business laptop remote working, but even more so in utility applications, such as work scheduling etc. Working in remote locations, often in hostile and challenging environments with limited wireless coverage can frustrate even the most tech savvy employee, resulting in lost time and productivity. Sound familiar?
Based on a long experience with remote access solutions, we at Bittium understand not only the needs of field engineers, but also the key challenges that companies face when mobilising business processes, such as:
- How do you maintain control of your remote workforce when they are away from the office?
- How do you ensure end-users can utilise all connectivity opportunities AND still guarantee data-integrity over all these (unknown) networks?
- How do you ensure that users automatically utilise the most cost effective network according to your own definition?
- How do you ensure that your users always have a seamless and persistent connection?
- How do you ensure that your chosen technology does not compromise end-user experience and thus productivity?
If you have experienced some of these challenges at your work environment, we would be happy to help you to solve the problems. With Bittium SafeMove® Mobile VPN, all field service personnel can enjoy hassle-free, zero-click access to the best available network wherever their work takes them. Once connected, moving from one network to another is transparent and requires no user involvement whatsoever. Workers need only focus on their work and not on connectivity issues.

Admins: please have a quick play when you can I've added just the shell outline and will populate one of these teams with a test write-up + pics before July 1st.
The Teams: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/cowesrfc/teams/
The plan thereafter will be to get a test age group team (coaches and managers) briefed up with the challenge to see how easy they found updating the the content and sending test messages etc (possibly before July 1st too).
I also want to test/see how the 'weekly newsletter' works. I believe Pitchero automatically scoops up the any stories published in the week and emails these out to all members that have opted-in for the newsletter. I'll keep you posted on that.
Everyone else: This test site is in the very early stages of testing. We'll be in touch with all club members towards the end of July if this site survives testing and goes ahead. Thanks.Updated 09:53 - 20 Jun 2016 by Colin Hiom

|Setting Up
During the Leigh Art Trail we held some children's clay workshops - which proved quite popular!
However, I was VERY VERY scared! I'd never done anything like this before and didnt really know what to excpect! What if they hated me? What if I dont know what to say or do!?...
However, I was VERY VERY scared! I'd never done anything like this before and didnt really know what to excpect! What if they hated me? What if I dont know what to say or do!?...
For the first session we only had one little boy, who was a little bit shy! He didn't want to get out of his pram, so Mummy had to do the workshop with us until he finally plucked up the courage to come to the table. Good job he did, because he created some great quirky little clay faces - a whole family of them. He really got involved pushing string into the clay for their hair and squishing round balls for noses and eyes. Very creative!
The second group was much bigger, but after the morning's session I had relaxed a bit, and realised it's just meant to be a bit of fun to encourage the children to play and use their hands!
We had SEVEN in the second group! Yes, SEVEN! Looking back I think that was probably too many for the space, but I live and learn. The age range was very big too - 3 1/2 through to 10/11 year olds. Ive learnt again, to perhaps do a smaller age range - 4-7 and 8-12 or something...
Anyway, had a really lovely time showing the kids how to make some little animals, bowls, plaques and generally just messing around with the clay. Kids can be incredibly imaginative!
Here are some snaps of the little'uns work. We were thinking about showing them in the gallery at some point - a little claim to fame for the kids, I'm sure they'd love to see their handiwork displayed on a plinth!?
We are hoping to hold more of these due to the great response, perhaps over the summer holidays. Interested? Get in touch!

Robert Pattinson left girlfriend
Kristen Stewart in London as he flew to Berlin for the German premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.
The 25-year-old actor posed happily on the red carpet in Germany with his co-star Taylor Lautner as Kristen was spotted looking miserable in London.
Stewart, who is busy filming Snow White And The Huntsman in the UK, was seen looking down in the dumps as she left Pattinson's home in the capital.
The actress looked casual in a white T-shirt, khaki trousers, a black zip up hoodie and Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Kristen had enjoyed a brief reunion with Pattinson last Wednesday when they appeared along with Taylor and Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon at the UK premiere of the latest instalment of The Twilight Saga at London's Westfield shopping centre.
But while Pattinson and Lautner jetted off for the Berlin screening, Stewart stayed behind.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 has been savaged by critics but in the US the film was estimated to have grossed a whopping $72 million on Friday.
This makes it the third best opening day ever, behind only this yearâs Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows â Part 2 ($91.1 million) and 2009's The Twilight Saga: New Moon ($72.7 million).
The grand finale of the vampire franchise, Breaking Dawn Part 2, is set to be released next November.

Fans of Kanye West and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian have been given a sneak peek into what they can expect when they tune into Kris Jenner's talk show this Friday.
Scroll down to watch the promo clip.
A teaser video was released on Kris' YouTube channel that shows Kanye entering the studio to loud cheers and applause. The Yeezus rapper will talk about his new role as a father and share the much-awaited first photo of his two-month-old daughter North West.
In the video, Kanye is greeted by his girlfriend's mother and talk show host, Kris, with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. The pair later sit down to chat about his new family, looking relaxed and happy in each other's company.
While it has been speculated that Kanye and Kris haven't got on in the past, their affectionate greeting on the show seemed to dispel any such rumours.
The notoriously private rapper has also shown how eager he is to support his girlfriend's family, by releasing the first pictures of North on Kris' talk show and reportedly turning down several media offers. The promise of seeing the baby for the first time will no doubt boost ratings for the programme.
Kim and Kanye have also been living with Kim's mother in her Calabasas mansion while their own home is being refurbished.
Other members of the Kardashian clan are due to appear on Friday's episode. Kris' daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner will chat to their mother about their fashion line, and are set to "take over the runway" with their stylish pieces. Earlier this month they paid a visit to their PacSun pop-up store in New York City to promote their autumn collection.
New mum Kim has already made a surprise appearance on her mum's show — albeit by video message.
"I just wanted to say congratulations on your new show," the reality star said on camera. "I'm sorry I couldn't be there in person, but I'm just loving life a little bit too much at home right now."
Kanye's hour-long interview, set to air on Friday 23 August, will mark the end of Kris' trial summer run of her talk show Kris.

RadioBDC Sports: Patriots power rankings and preseason preview
Posted by Adam 12 August 8, 2013 02:27 PM
'Tis the season, right? Adam 12 still can't wrap his mind around talking football in early August, but here we are on the eve of the Patriots' first preseason game. Lucky for 12, Boston.com's Zuri Berry just updated his Patriots' player power rankings and was more than happy to stop by and break them down, and to set the table for Pats preseason week one, which sees them face the other NFL team with an off-season PR nightmare, the Philadelphia Eagles.
Zuri claims the Patriots have a plan for Tebow. Maybe next Thursday at 2 we'll find out more about what that plan is.

The public has 60 days to comment on the new rules.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced the first proposed national emissions and fuel standards for heavy-duty trucks and buses.
That's good news for Bucks residents since the county is part of a region, including Philadelphia, that doesn't meet federal health standards for pollution. In a 2007 American Lung Association report, Philadelphia was ranked as the worst metropolitan area in the country for ozone pollution and Bucks' air quality received an "F" grade.
"This will help improve air quality," said Eric Cheung, senior attorney with the Clean Air Council in Philadelphia.
The new required improvements will apply to 2014 to 2018 models of combination tractors, heavy-duty pickups and vans, and vocational vehicles. The EPA has had similar standards in place for cars since the 1970s, officials said.
"These new standards are another step in our work to develop a new generation of clean, fuel-efficient American vehicles that will improve our environment and strengthen our economy," EPA administrator Lisa P. Jackson said in a statement.
The agencies are proposing engine and vehicle standards starting for 2014 combination tractor models to achieve up to a 20 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and fuel use by the 2018 model year.
Heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans would have separate gas and diesel standards, which would be phased in beginning on 2014 models for a 10 percent reduction for gas vehicles and 15 percent for diesel by 2018 models.
For vocational vehicles, the groups recommend engine and vehicle standards in the 2014 model year to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by the 2018 model year.
The program is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 250 million metric tons and save 500 million barrels of oil over the lives of the vehicles produced within the first five years of the new changes, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Medium and heavy trucks represent only 4 percent of vehicles on the road but consume 20 percent of oil and emit 20 percent of the pollution. Since the early 1990s, the trucking industry has grown by more than 50 percent, representing about 70 percent of the country's distribution needs, the council reported.
Drivers could save anywhere from 7 percent to 20 percent on fuel costs. For example, the EPA estimates that an operator of a semi truck could save as much as $74,000 over the life of a truck.
The public has 60 days to comment on the new rules by visiting www.nhtsa.gov/fuel-economy, or www.epa.gov/otag/climate/regulations.htm. Truck and bus drivers should start to notice the changes by 2014, but many vehicles today already meet the new standards, said Cheung.
Bill Graves, president and CEO of American Trucking Associations, said in a statement that his organization supports the standards.
"We believe that the proposed regulations + are feasible and can be attained through technologies currently available to motor carriers," he said. "We are encouraged that the draft proposal takes into account the wide diversity of operations within our industry and the need to build flexibility into the rulemaking process."

Most women are drawn to deep lippies for their sophistication, but although berries aren't necessarily bright, these bold shades can require confidence to wear. This season it is all about beautiful rich berry shades, which range from plum to burgundy. However, before descending into the trend, you may have to hone in on the exact shade for your skin tone and it won't budge from your smile all season.
The undertones test
First you need to identify your undertones. An easy way to see if you have cool or warm undertones is to ask yourself if you think silver or gold jewelry suits you best. If gold makes your skin look brighter then it is likely you have warm, yellow undertones, whereas when silver makes you look fresher you probably have cool, pink undertones. If you can wear both – you are neutral.
For those with pink undertones, wear berry lipsticks that have blue undertones such as deep plum, wines and oxblood berry shades. If you identified your skin type as one with yellow undertones, stick with berry lipsticks that have orange undertones such as burgundy, deep red and maroon berry shades. The lucky ones, a neutral undertone means you have the pick of a whole variety of berry lipsticks. If you are still not sure though, plum and mahogany shades are very wearable for everyone.
Skin shades: Blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry—what is your jam? It all depends on the shade of your skin. If you have fair skin, choose something that is dark but sheer. Medium skin tones can get away with a richer, truer berry, and those with dark skin should pick a deep color that won't blend in with their skin.
Keep lips ripe: A dark lipstick can possibly make thin lips appear even smaller. So start with a sheer stain and use a lip pencil to fill out the lip ever so slightly. Just don't overdo it, as you don't want to end up with a clown mouth. You can also dab a lighter colored lipstick on the center of your mouth to make lips appear fuller.
Don't forget your cheeks: Unless you want to look gothic , the key to wearing a berry lip is to keep the rest of the face fresh and glowing. Use a sheer foundation and concealer and skip powder entirely. Then apply a blush in a complementary shade. Here is a trick for when you are stumped, simply sheer out the same lip color on cheeks.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

I love joico medium hold styling amd finishing spray. It holds well bit os easy to wash out. Unfortunately it is hard to find in my area
I hope joico fixes this issue.
I agree with the above comment and also want to say that two of the shops this website suggested as retailers aren't even in business at the locations in my area that were suggested to me. Someone needs to get on the stick to update retailers lists as well.
I have used Joifix Medium styling and finishing spray for several years and now it seems not to be available in several of the salons your recommend. Lets get on the stick and get the new product out to the stores in a more timely manner.

Author News and Book Reports
Arianna Huffington survives divorce, blogging, politics...tells how in book 'On Becoming Fearless'
Ariana Huffington certainly sounded fearless when she spoke at a BookExpo America panel featuring Andrew Sullivan, Pat Buchanan and Frank Rich. Introduced by veteran ABC news correspondent Lynn Sherr, Huffington appeared soft-spoken in person as she introduced her new book, On Becoming Fearless...In Love, Work, and Life (Little, Brown and Company; September 4, 2006), but pulled no punches when she talked about 'smelling' the fear of Democrats. Moving effortlessly from political punditry, where she made her name as a blogger (Huffington Post), Huffington tilted her talk toward her own personal fears in parenting, relationships, and work and noted that the worst fear of all, especially for women, is fear of failure. In her quiet voice, Huffington went on to answer Sherr's tough questions about political divisions in the U.S. without batting an eyelash; gave her views on the war in Iraq and the lessons to be learned from it; disparaged the Republican right wing culture wars; predicted a voter revolt against the status quo in 2006; hammered George W. Bush in her most velvety tones as 'the man who did his best to destroy America'; and dressed down Hillary Clinton as a politician so fear-driven that she stands for nothing.
