The brand promise. The customer experience. The company culture.
True, it all starts with the name and logo. But while a clean, concise, and timeless mark is the strongest way to begin building something that will stand the test of time, it's just the beginning – the nucleus – as everything the brand is to become must be translated and carried consistently throughout numerous and diverse mediums.
A brand with a consistent message and a good experience puts the consumer at ease, because they know exactly what to expect from it. In fact, consumers will spend more for brands they know and trust (even in an economy that's not so hot) because it gives them something to believe in.
And while a strong brand builds a lasting relationship with consumers, it also gives direction to those within the company itself. It's easier to support, invest oneself in, and sell a brand that one believes in – which makes the importance of strong and consistent branding even greater.
We pride ourselves on creating an emotionally-driven, consumer-brand relationship for our clients that is fine-tuned to be honest, relevant, and unforgettable. And we're dedicated to remaining true to it throughout every strategy and piece of creative we craft.
Foist the magnificence of specified brands upon unsuspecting viewers via variegated physical mediums.
That's the markety explanation, anyway. In layman's terms, we're building the foundation for your company's marketing strategies, an engaging and consistent communication style, authentic and inspiring logos, as well as highly coveted retail lines. And yes, we execute on all those things.
A clearly defined and fully developed brand gets people in the door and builds a lasting relationship between you and your customers. To be more precise, though, here's what a brand identity does for you:
Make the face of your company consistent, memorable, and unique.
Establish credibility and trust through an emotional and honest connection with consumers.
Display your "flag" to consumers, as well as employees, investors, and the world.
Whether you need your brand built from scratch, a freshening-up of one you've already got, or something somewhere in-between, visit our Contacts page and send us a message! Brand building is a specialty of ours (just asks our clients) and we'd be honored to help you out.
Whether it's for a product, a service, or anything in-between, we pride ourselves on creating an emotionally-driven consumer-brand relationship for our clients that is fine-tuned to be honest, relevant, and unforgettable.
Messaging that sells needs to be both relevant and eye-catching. And advertising design is a tremendous vehicle for delivering a brand's message across a humungously diverse spectrum of eyeballs.
Graphic design plays a pivotal role in any brand's life: whether you're dishing out coupons, business plans, press kits, or overhauling a magazine, the eye is quick to judge what pops and what flops. So... how would you like to be remembered?
No one wants to be that memorable commercial brought you by a brand no one can recall. So don't waste time and money creating something they're gonna skip. Spread the word with some dreamented "strateegery" so they'll hit rewind instead of fast-forward.
First, video killed the radio star. Since then, its been slaying the internet with some of the most murderous engagement numbers imaginable. So while we don't condone violence, we do recommend getting on this bad boy's good side.
Since the arrival of the "www" lifestyle, carving out your own digital space has become mandatory. And with new devices coming and going at light speed, we understand the need to be responsive - with regard the sites we build as well as the clients we build them for.
We think it's pretty fair to say that online marketing is the new black, as not only is it a staple in every marketing wardrobe, but it goes with everything, makes everyone look fantastic, and never fails to add a little zip to a boring day.
Inboxes are so inundated with messages that the chance of your missive getting missed is pretty high. We give every email the time and attention needed to grow up and become a big, strong, ROI-eating tactic you'll be proud of.
Social media is a talent competition where contestants perform in front of a live audience of millions–completely in the nude. In social media, you can't pretend to be something you're not, but you still gotta give em' something to talk about.
From mobile-optimized websites to customized apps and games, to location-based services, SMS and mobile ad campaigns, there are more ways than ever to reach those 30% of users who check their Facebook before getting out of bed.
Need a plan? Take art, science, data, and instinct, mix them together in a boiling cauldron of reach, frequency, impact, and timeliness, and you'll have the method by which the message hits its mark with a maximum bang for the marketing buck. Easy peasy.

This parasitic species does not build a nest, nor does it incubate eggs. It lays in other birds' nests, often removing an egg from the host nest at the same time. When food is abundant in the environment, female cowbirds can lay almost daily throughout the nesting season (as many as 40 eggs in one season). These eggs are usually added to nests when the other bird has not yet laid a complete clutch. Research has shown that cowbirds prefer to lay in nests that already have two eggs, and in which the host's eggs are smaller than their own.
Many species (especially songbirds) are parasitized by Brown-headed Cowbirds. Some of the most commonly parasitized species include Yellow Warbler, Song Sparrow, Red-eyed Vireo, and Chipping Sparrow. Cowbird eggs have been found in the nests of over 220 species across North America. Of these, 144 species are known to have reared cowbird young.
Some species, such as American Robins and Blue Jays, often eject cowbird eggs from their nests, although a small percentage of these birds' nests have been found with a cowbird egg.
The Brown-headed Cowbird lays eggs in nests across Canada. It is absent from Labrador, Nunavut, and most of the Northwest Territories and Yukon.
Cowbirds usually lay in nests found in areas with low or scattered trees among grassland vegetation, including prairies, fields, pastures, orchards, residential areas, and woodland edges. They usually avoid dense forests and extensive open field or prairie areas.
White to grayish white, marked with brown or gray spots. Markings are often heavier at the larger end of the egg.
None. Cowbird eggs are laid in other birds' nests. The eggs and young are cared for by the 'adopting' adults.
Brown-headed Cowbird eggs develop rapidly, and are often the first ones to hatch in a nest. The young are fed by the adults of the nest in which they were incubated. A young cowbird leaves the nest at the age of 8-13 days and is independent by 25-39 days.
Brown-headed Cowbirds forage on the ground, eating mostly weed or grass seeds. They also eat insects, mostly grasshoppers and beetles.

Friday night, in the Thompson Boxing Promotions' "Locked n' Loaded" main event at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, CA, Carlos Carlson (15-0, 10 KOs) of Tijuana, B. C., Mexico won a hard fought majority decision over Jose Cen-Torres (13-5, 1 KO) of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and with the win, retains his WBC Latino Bantamweight Championship. When the judges' scores ended up 76-76 and then 77-75 twice for the winner Carlson, you knew it had been a close one.
With both boxers remaining active throughout, it was Carlson who landed the most telling blows and kept pressing forward to engage. The fact Cen-Torres spent much of his time back peddling and circling, he gave the opposite impression of someone who was unwilling to engage. As a result, the judges ended up favoring the more aggressive Carlson.
That being said, Cen-Torres did beat Carlson to the punch in the first half of the fight and landed a lot of straight rights and hooks to the body. After Carlson made his adjustments, picked up the pace and established his rhythm, it was clear he was in control of the proceedings.
The Co-main event featured junior welterweight Jonathan Garcia (15-0, 11 KOs) of Watsonville, CA and Michael Balasi (10-5, 7 KOs) of Hawaii. Garcia used a variety of combinations and consistent pressure to win an unanimous decision (80-72, 79-73, 80-72).
Balasi's only hope of winning the fight was to get inside, and Garcia made certain that wasn't going to happen. His right uppercut, left hook combinations stunned the southpaw impeding any and all advances. Garcia also used his stiff jab which stopped Balasi in his tracks. As the scores indicate, Balasi had no chance in this one.
Colombian lightweight Cesar Villarraga (4-0, 2 KOs) added another win to his resume by out-boxing the game and more experienced Dominic Coca (8-9, 2 KOs) of Los Angeles. All three judges had Villarraga winning every round (60-54).
As is usually the case with the mighty mites of the Flyweight Divisions, the Super Flyweight contest between Javier Lapizco (5-0, 1 KO) of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico and Christian Lorenzo (2-2, 1 KO) of Los Angeles, CA was a thriller. In this one, Lapizco ended up with the majority win (39-37, 38-38, 39-37). Both boxers dished out plenty of combinations and neither took a step back. With Lapizco connecting at a higher rate, he appears to be the more polished prospect.
The opening bout featured that super welterweight clash between Malik Bazille (2-2) of Los Angeles and Tavoris Teague (2-1, 1 KO) of La Habra, CA, the Kevin Hart lookalike. In this one, the 6'1" Bazille won via an unanimous decision, 39-37 on all three scorecards. The much taller southpaw fought most of the fight from the outside utilizing his lunging jab to routinely confused the much shorter Teague.
Up next, Thompson Boxing Promotions will be visiting San Diego on August 16, 2014 for a show at the immense Harley Davidson Store, just up the street from the local Costco at 4645 Morena Boulevard. For this event they're hoping to feature many of San Diego's top pugilists to include Giovani Santillan, Chris Martin, Christian Bojorquez, Ulises Sierra, Jose Toribio and Adrian Vargas.

Portable Delorme Mapping using a USB Drive
The Delorme mapping programs such as Street Atlas, Topo USA, and a variety of others allow you to access many different maps for use on your computer or smartphone. If you do not have the ability to carry your PC or smartphone with you on the go you can easily install the Delorme mapping program on a small, portable USB flash or external drive to use on any computer. This article will detail the process for putting the Delorme Mapping program on a USB jump drive in minutes.
What you will need
First you'll need to have a USB flash or external drive with available space large enough to install the program on.
Check the Delorme software minimum requirements, although 2 to 4GB of free space on your USB drive will hold most maps. The only other things you need are the Delorme Mapping software installation disc and a personal computer.
- Insert your USB drive into your personal computer and assure the computer recognizes it and is ready to use.
- Next you'll need to create a directory on your USB drive called "DELORME" or any other name that suits your taste and you will remember.
- Insert the Delorme Mapping software installation disc into your CD-ROM. The installation program will start automatically in most cases. If it does not you'll need to explore to the CD-ROM and run the Delorme Mapping software installation application.
- After the installation begins click "NEXT" until you get to the screen which asks for the destination path to install the software to. At this point you will select "BROWSE" and select the directory you created on your USB drive then click OK. The software will begin installing onto the USB flash drive now. Continue clicking "NEXT" until the installation process is complete and closes. This should only take a little bit of time although it will be slower than installing to your personal computer's hard disk since USB 2.0 write times are slower.
- At this point access your USB flash or external drive and go to the "DELORME" or the directory you created and installed to then run the newly installed application to be certain that the installation was successful and does not have any problems. If there are no problems close the program, eject the USB and remove it from your personal computer. If you do have problems you will need to delete the entire "DELORME" directory from you USB flash or external drive and try again.
You can now insert this USB flash or external drive into any personal computer and run the Delorme Mapping application simply by going to the directory on the USB drive and running the application.

Republicans are playing a dangerous game by refusing to raise the debt ceiling, according to Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett.
"We raised the debt ceiling seven times during the Bush Administration," Buffett told CNBC on Thursday. Now, the Republican-controlled Congress is "trying to use the incentive now that we're going to blow your brains out, America, in terms of your debt worthiness over time."
If Congress fails to raise the borrowing limit of the federal government by August 2, the date when the U.S. will reach the limit of its borrowing abilities, it will likely begin defaulting on its loans.
Buffett, who according to the Washington Post has helped raise money for Democratic candidates like Hillary Clinton in the past, has been highly critical of the actions of the Republican-controlled Congress. In May, Buffett stated at a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder's meeting that if the Congress failed to raise the debt ceiling, it would constitute "the most asinine act" in the nation's history, reports Reuters.

Bowflex PR3000 Home Gym | Low Impact, Compact, Efficient Exercise Equipment
The Bowflex PR3000 is similar to the popular PR1000 model but accommodates more exercises and adds the ability to upgrade weight resistance from 210 to 310 pounds. Like the PR1000 it uses Power Rod technology (see video below) as opposed to the SpriaFlex mechanics featured in higher end Bowflex gyms.
In general, these systems offer many attractive benefits for home users. The machines are very quiet with no clanging of plates or barbells. There is relatively little actual weight on the floor so it's more portable than a traditional gym. There are no cable changes required between sets and the Power Rod units are durable, strong and built to last. Power Rod training helps avoid joint stress and accidents that can sometimes be associated with free weights.
The PR3000 lets you perform over 50 different exercises and includes a built in rowing station. You can add one Power Rod at a time to seamlessly go from 5 pounds all the way up to 210 pounds (310 with optional upgrade). The multi-station design allows you to work arms, chest, back, shoulders, abs and lower body using the pulley system, bench press, lat pull down, leg extension/leg curl component and rowing machine.
Other features include multi-use hand grip/ankle cuffs to add performance flexibility and a quick reference exercise placard displaying detailed workout descriptions. The maximum user weight is 300 lbs and required workout space is 100" x 78".

Zcash Price Prediction January 10th!
Zcash Price Prediction January 10th! Above is the 4 hour chart showing an uptrend forming after a pullback to the $630 due to news that Zcash wallets were offline at some exchanges. Zcash is still in a rising channel Parabolic Sar just started a 4 hour uptrend look for this to be broken before a major downswing occurs. Stochastic RSI is in the mid range and should test ATH's on the current run at $790. The 1 day chart looks bullish with a new parabolic SAR uptrend the Stochastic RSI is in the upper range signalling buying a flip would be extremely bullish. With a low market cap of $2 billion and only 3 million Zcash coins the lowest of any coin in the top 100 I expect the price to double in 2018. With recent news of Ethereum using zsnarks the future is bright for Zcash.
Since the Ethereum Byzantium hard-fork zk-SNARKs have been integrated within Ethereum and it is envisioned that a range of zapps (zero-knowledge dapps), enabling private smart contracts, will be developed. As each zapp will require its own trusted setup it is likely that Ethereum zapp developers will use the Powers of Tau ceremony and conduct a second phase of the setup, unique to each zapp.

This IMO, is the real reason why all of the current "privacy" coins are in jeopardy.
Ethereum will be rolling out support for zk-SNARKs with Metropolis.
It will take some time after that for developers to start making use of it, but when they do, I just don't see how privacy-centric development doesn't migrate to Ethereum.
Coupled with Ethereum's 15 second block times, it's a nobrainer.
Thus, I think the market knows this and that's why confidence in the rest of the "privacy" coins remains rather low because they are basically at major risk of having their lunch eaten by Ethereum.

"As I grow more concerned about the abuses immigrants are facing, it is more important than ever to make sure that AI Justice has the resources necessary to ensure their just and fair treatment." - Judge Barkett
Judge Rosemary Barkett has spent much of her life working to ensure justice for others. As an immigrant herself, Judge Barkett speaks powerfully and passionately about the immigrant experience and the growing need to protect immigrants' basic rights. Throughout her career, Judge Barkett has been a champion for civil rights and a fearless defender of justice. Prior to joining The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague, she served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. Judge Barkett has also served in numerous capacities on Florida State Courts, including as the Florida Supreme Court's first female Chief Justice. The recipient of seven honorary degrees, Judge Barkett has earned dozens of prestigious honors including the Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Award, the Latin Business and Professional Women Lifetime Achievement Award and the Legal Legend Award. Judge Barkett was named one of the 2014 "Great Immigrants (The Pride of America)" by the Carnegie Corporation for her contributions in advancing American society.
Judge Barkett's distinguished career in public service serves as an inspiration to us all and the Judge Rosemary Litigation Fund will help to ensure just and fair treatment for immigrants.
Donations toward the fund may be made not only online, or by check, but also through a gift of securities, which will provide an additional tax benefit for the donor.

Getting fit, toned and strong is a goal that many of us have but getting there can be difficult. However, with a punching bag the road to fitness can be made a lot more fun, and as a result, fitness goals can be reached far quicker. Free standing punch bags are great for those looking to improve their total body strength, as well as those looking to boost their cardiovascular fitness and overall health. There are many different types of free standing punching bags on the market, and each one has slight variations regarding stability and durability, and they each have different unique features such as locking mechanisms.
So, in order to help you out, and to make the process of buying a Free Standing Punching Bag easier we have done the hard work for you, and found a number of great Free Standing Punching Bags that would all look great in any home gym, and help you to reach your health and fitness goals.
You can get a great workout with nothing but a free standing punching bag, so as a result, they can make great additions to home gyms. However, as mentioned, there are lots of different punching bags on the market, and some are much better than others. Therefore to ensure that you get the best Free Standing Punching Bag on the market you should consider some important factors.
Things to Consider
A free standing punching bag can provide an excellent workout, improving upper body strength while also improving your reflexes. That said, there are a lot of things that go into making a good punching bag, and some are better than others. Below are five different things you should consider before you invest in a free standing punching bag. Paying close attention to these features will help ensure you get the right bag for your workout or practice needs.
1. Bag Weight
The weight of your punching bag goes a long way towards determining how much resistance a bag offers and how much force it can withstand. Some bags may be well-suited to light sparring and throws but won't hold up well under massive hits.
2. Adjustable Height
Although this isn't important to everyone, being able to adjust the height of your punching bag can be very convenient. If you're going to be the only one using it, you can get away with having a fixed height, but multiple users demand a more flexible punching bag.
3. Base Stability
Base stability might be even more important than the weight of the bag in determining how much force you can put in your punches. If you're constantly knocking the base over while landing a punch, your punching bag won't be all that helpful to you.
4. Material
There are three common materials used in punching bags: leather, synthetic leather, and canvas. Leather bags are the most expensive but also the toughest and most durable. Canvas bags are cheaper but are also rougher on the skin and more prone to breaking.
5. Price
When it comes to punching bags – free standing or otherwise – price can vary dramatically from 30 or 40 to several hundred dollars. You want to try to strike a balance between getting a bag sturdy enough for your needs that also fits in your budget – not necessarily an easy task.
If you don't want to shop around, but do want the best product available, then check out the Editors Pick based on features, quality, functionality, and value.

The Normandy Four, which comprises Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany, was created in 2014 to secure a peaceful settlement to the conflict in eastern Ukraine. The group has held several rounds of talks on Ukrainian reconciliation, most notably in February when the quartet's leaders brokered a ceasefire agreement in Minsk, Belarus, signed by Kiev and the Donbas militia in February 2015.
The sides failed to fulfill the agreements' conditions by the end of 2015, as initially intended, and the deadline was extended into 2016, with the sides continuing to blame each other for the failure to abide by the Minsk deal.
The last meeting of the Normandy Four took place roughly a year ago, on October 2, 2015.

Eye primers have never been something I've used. I always used to prep my eyes with a small amount of my base, seal them with powder and then go ahead and create my eye make-up look. Now, however, I have been truly converted!
This primer from bareMinerals is truly fantastic. Although I've used it for a while, I wanted to post about it as it is something that I started to experiment with that has not left my make-up bag in months.
What I like about his is that it's a great multi-use product. The shade that I use is called 'Pearl'. For lack of a better word, it is a pearly shimmer that primes the eyes but also doubles up as a fantastic highlighter. I take mine all the way up to the brow and sometimes even use it alone with a flick of eyeliner.
Everything stays put and my eyes are so bright when this is on. The colour is flattering and would suit any skin tone, and although the pot is tiny (it looks like an average sample size) you only need the slightest amount to cover each eye so it will last for ages.
Sick of your eyeshadow creasing? This one is for you.
P.S If you're a bareMinerals fan you may be interested to know that QVC are now carrying bareMinerals Ready!

Asbestos and lead
About asbestos and lead
Asbestos is a mineral that was commonly used in building materials in the 1940s–1980s. It was used in walls, drains, flues, roofing and guttering. It is usually safe if not disturbed. If asbestos materials are damaged and fibres are freed, they pose a health risk.
Lead is a metal found in old paint (before 1970), dust in the roof and soil. Lead can be harmful, especially to small children and pregnant women.
The mere presence of asbestos/lead at the premises does not cause them to be in a state of disrepair.
Rights and obligations
You must:
- keep the premises 'reasonably' clean
- tell the landlord about any damage to the premises as soon as possible
- mitigate loss – take reasonable steps to limit or avoid loss (see below).
The landlord must:
- provide the premises 'reasonably' clean and fit to live in
- keep the premises in 'reasonable' repair (except where the disrepair is caused by the tenant breaching the tenancy agreement)
- mitigate loss.
Mitigation of loss
Examples include:
- a tenant stopping use of a room where asbestos fibres have been exposed
- a landlord promptly fixing damage to reduce risk.
Decide what to do
You may want to stay at the rented premises and have them repaired or to end your tenancy and leave.
If you want to stay
Tell the landlord/agent that they need to arrange for repairs. Write them a letter telling them what needs fixing and by when. Give a clear deadline. Keep a copy of the letter and a record of any conversations as evidence that you have notified them. Also see Factsheet 06: Repairs and maintenance.
If the landlord does not promptly arrange for repairs, you can apply to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) for orders (see below).
If you are going to move out temporarily while repairs are done, make a clear agreement in writing about:
- rent reduction
- how long you will be away
- who will be responsible for goods at the premises or how your goods will be stored.
Applying to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal for orders
You can apply for one or more of the following orders:
- that the landlord do the repairs you have specified – apply within 3 months of the landlord failing to do repairs by your deadline
- that the rent is reduced from when you told the landlord/agent about the need for the repairs until repairs are done (not for social housing tenants who get a rent rebate) – apply at any time before the end of the tenancy
- that the landlord compensate you for losses you suffered because they did not do the repairs – apply within 3 months of the landlord failing to do repairs by your deadline
- that all or part of the rent is paid to the tribunal until the repairs are done
People who are not named on the tenancy agreement as tenants (e.g. children) cannot apply to the Tribunal.
See Factsheet 11: NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal and contact your local Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service for advice about applying.
Applying for an order for repairs
You must be able to show that:
- the premises are not in 'reasonable' repair
- it is not your fault
- the landlord/agent knew about the need for repairs
- you told them about it (e.g. you wrote them a letter), or
- they ought reasonably to have known about it (e.g. they inspected the premises)
- the landlord/agent did not get the repairs done in a reasonable time.
Applying for a rent reduction
The Tribunal may make an order that the rent is or was excessive due to a reduction or withdrawal by the landlord of any goods, services or facilities provided with the premises (e.g. part of the premises becomes unusable due to the presence of asbestos fibres or lead).
If the Tribunal finds that the rent is excessive, it will make an excessive rent order. It will specify:
- the amount that the rent must not exceed
- the day from which this maximum rent applies – for a period of up to of 12 months.
See Factsheet 04: Rent increases for how to prepare an excessive rent case.
Applying for compensation
You can apply for order/s that the landlord compensate you for 'economic loss' such as the destruction of or damage to your belongings.
You may also apply for an order that the landlord compensate you for physical inconvenience you have suffered. Discuss your case with your local Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service first.
You must be able to show that your loss was caused by the landlord's failure to do repairs. The Tribunal may not order compensation if you have not mitigated your losses.
You must back up your claims with evidence. This may include expert reports on the presence of asbestos/lead in the premises (e.g. from a scientist, council building/health inspector, builder). Such reports can be costly, so you may need to rely on other evidence.
The condition report is important evidence of the state of the premises at the start of the tenancy. Other evidence may include:
- your tenancy agreement
- correspondence with the landlord/agent
- photos and drawings of the premises
- receipts for expenses
- printed materials such as factsheets about asbestos/lead and its effects.
Outcomes of Tribunal cases
In Gannon v Department of Transport & Regional Services (Tenancy) [2008] NSWCTTT 793, the Tribunal found that the landlord breached the tenancy agreement but did not order compensation due to lack of independent evidence and a delayed application.
In Symonds v Duncan (Tenancy) [2004] NSWCTTT 499, the Tribunal accepted evidence of lead levels from the local council, found that the premises were unlivable for a time and ordered the landlord to compensate the tenant for some of her claimed losses.
Safe work practices
The landlord should use workers with the appropriate licence or training to do repairs. In any case, workers should follow safe work practices. Call WorkCover NSW (phone 13 10 50) for advice about safe work practices. See these publications for what to look for:
- Working with asbestos (from workcover.nsw.gov.au or 1300 799 003), or
- Lead alert – six step guide to painting your home (from environment.gov.au or 1800 803 772).
If the work practices used are unsafe, contact:
- WorkCover NSW – phone 13 10 50 (when a business or worker is being paid to do the work), or
- an environmental health officer from the local council (when the work is unpaid).
If you want to leave
See Factsheet 09: You want to leave for how to end your tenancy agreement.
Personal injury
If someone in your household has been made ill by lead/asbestos, seek medical advice. Consult a solicitor or your local Community Legal Centre (02 9212 7333, clcnsw.org.au) about whether to take legal action.
The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal is not the best place to take a personal injury claim – the maximum compensation it can order is $15,000.

Our reliance on water in mineral processing has a significant environmental impact. Industry uses water for both transport and refinement, which results in tailings ponds. The development and commercialization of new technologies resulting in more efficient use of energy and water, along with improved separation and recovery, will reduce the environmental impact of mine waste disposal.
Research under this theme focuses on the science essential to minerals processing and beneficiation of metals, thermal and metallurgical coals and water-based oil sands extraction. It includes: ultra-fine grinding and mineral liberation; solution and colloidal chemistry studies in mineral processing, including reagent-mineral (coal and bitumen) interactions, froth phase study, and ultraclean fine coal slurry fuels; ultra-fine mineral particle flotation technologies; and water management in mineral processing and water-based oil sands extraction. The expected outcomes of this research theme are:

I'm packing my suitcase while typing this post. Multi tasking is not my forte so this post will be skimpy. We're headed to Java, Indonesia for a short break and I cannot wait to see Borobudur!
About these brownies. Do I need to explain? They're brownies! Who doesn't like them? These are the easiest and least fussy brownies I've ever made. No mixer needed, just a lot of arm power and one large mixing bowl. You don't even need to bring your ingredients to room temperature! When you need a cocoa fix like NOW and it's just too hot to step outside, make these. They
Best Cocoa Cherry Brownies
Credit: Alice Medrich, Bittersweet (Artisan, 2003)
- 10 tbsp/ 140 g unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups /250 g sugar
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons / 65 g unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
- 1/4 tsp flaky sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, cold
- 1/2 cup / 65 g all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup / 75 g pitted fresh bing cherries, halved (optional)
1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
2.Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in.
3.Remove the bowl from the saucepan and set aside until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
4.Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring very vigorously after each one.
5.When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon.
6.Stir in the cherries, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan. Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Let cool completely on a rack. Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to fridge. Cut into 16 or 25 squares. Brownies slice much better when cooled in the fridge.

Fargo has long been one of our most popular bikes—our true, drop bar, off-road adventure bike that's developed a minor cult following. Here's a crazy fact—at the Grand Departe of the 2013 Tour Divide, ten percent of the field was aboard a Fargo. It's a fitting tribute, as the Tour Divide route was part of the Fargo's original design inspiration, and also because Salsa-sponsored rider Jay Petervary holds the Tour Divide record…a record he set on a Fargo Ti. It also speaks to the bike's great versatility, whether tackling singletrack, doubletrack, gravel, or pavement.
2015 Fargo Ti…
Since its introduction, the Fargo has seen several model updates…but for model year 2015 the frame does not change. Both the Titanium and Kung Fu CroMoly versions continue to use the versatile Alternator rear dropouts (also handy for creating a bailout gear when you are SOL and far from home) and the comfort-enhancing, multiple hand-position Woodchipper bars.
The Fargo Ti and most of our Fargo 2 models continue to use our Firestarter Carbon fork, while the Fargo 3 sticks with the Firestarter Steel fork. Both of these forks are equipped with our Three-Pack bosses, allowing you to mount Anything Cages or water bottle cages to your fork legs for expanded capacity.
2015 Fargo 2 Suspension…
But we're excited to announce one new model spec: Fargo 2 Suspension.
The Fargo 2 Suspension features a RockShox Reba RL tapered steerer, thru-axle fork with 100mm of travel. This build really gets to the heart of the matter; the Fargo is a drop bar mountain bike, fully capable of taking on off-road singletrack. The Fargo 2 Suspension model will be available in Red Orange paint with an MSRP of $2,499.
2015 Fargo 2 in Gun Metal Gray colorway…
2015 Fargo 2 in Bomb Pop Blue…
We are also offering two color options of rigid Fargo 2; Gun Metal Gray or Bomb Pop Blue at MSRP $2,299.
2015 Fargo 3 in Green Machine colorway…
2015 Fargo 3 in Mustard colorway…
And we are offering two colors of the rigid Fargo 3: Green Machine or Mustard at MSRP $1,699.
Here at Salsa, the Fargo continues to hold a prominent place in our hearts. It's the 'jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none' machine that winds up being the perfect choice for so much of the riding that we like to do. If you haven't yet checked out a Fargo, we hope you will. It might just be the right bike for you too.

I have been passionate about bikes since I was old enough to skid the plastic tires on my Big Wheel. I purchased my first mountain bike when I was 13, and I never looked back. I have a healthy respect for all forms of cycling, but most of the time you will find me riding singletrack, often on my Fargo.
Good to see that the Fargo is ow available in different colour options. By why is it still not possible to order a Fargo frame in Mustard colour? Can't believe this. Where is the problem?
Matthias, the answer is that the design department realized that the kind of rider who orders a frame only, wants a different color to someone who orders a complete bike. Does this make sense? Nope. Not to me either. It's more to do with making the catalog look good with as many different colors as possible. Tough to know what colors people really want though!
Matthias and Steve - The number of folks that build up bikes from frame or frameset is very, very small compared to those buying complete bikes. While doing our best to manage inventory we try to provide a second color option as a frame or frameset when possible…and yes, at a certain point, we try to provide colors that we hope people will like. Sometimes our dealers are willing to swap the parts from a complete bike to a frame/frameset only build to help a customer get to a complete bike in the alternate color more. One thing we don't do is try to please everyone with our color selections though.
Hey Salsa - can you tell me when the Fargo Suspension 2 will be available? Killer bike!!! Hoping to have it for the fall gravel insanity I have planned. thanks.
Dave Heeman - My ETA sheet says October for the Fargo SUS. Thanks for your interest.
Kid- Business could be so easy without customers, wanting this and that, having special requests. I can't understand why you don't give the customer the choice to select the colour of the frame. If you offered only one colour as other companies do, I fully agree. But you offer several complete equiped bikes with different frame colours. Great. But none of them meets my requierements/demands (I don't know which word is the right one in that case). So it would be easy for me to build the bike using the frame only.
You order the frames from a manufacturer, I assume. So you could easily order frames only in different colours besides the fully equipped bikes. So where is the problem? What colour woud you offer me in case I need a crash replacement for my Mustard coloured frame?
Imagine you want to buy a new car with blue colour: Sorry the Volkswagen having 4 doors as requested is only available in red, but you could buy a convertible in blue colour.
And I asked my local dealer for swapping bike parts. But he said, no.
Seems that I have to look for an other solution.
Matthias-Usually the manufacturer also assembles the bike up to about 75 percent of completion and the lions share of the fine tuning and adjusting is left up to he dealer. X amount of part kits are ordered to go on x amount of bikes in a certain color. So it isn't so cut and dry that they could easily order just one yellow frame and fork. If I were you I would order whatever color frame is available as a frameset and ride it until you need a new powder coat on it anyways. I have had a Fargo and I can assure you you're not going to care what color your bike is when you're rallying a fully loaded Fargo down a mountain. They are that good!
Hi, i´m from germany. A few weeks ago i ordered a fargo 2 in bomb pop blue. I also had the opportunity to buy a hard to got the steel firestarter fork. After some time your european distributor offer me bad news. The bomb pop blue frame is out of order and is not manufactured any more. Can you confirm this? I don´t want to buy the frameset with the carbon firestarter fork.
Sorry for my imprecise formulation. I bought a firestarter steel fork because they are indeed hard to get and i need both fork and frame.
I had a big crash yesterday with my beloved 2013 fargo 2. Derailleur broke of with derailleur hanger, rear wheel slipped out during the crash. Seatstay bend near derailleur hanger and approx. halfway seatstay. Do you think The frame is salvagable? I think I visit my lbs , also salsa dealer here in The netherlands. I fear that my fargo frame is a write off.
Can I still get a 2013 fargo 2 (Brown) frame, or are they sold out? When are the 2015 fargo framesets available. For me, there are no other options as an alternative, I love the Fargo, mtb, bikepacking, commute, longdistance hauler. I don't minder my sore neck or bruised shoulder, the idea of not riding my fargo gets me depressed.
Haarlem, Netherlands
Is $999 the price for the Fargo 2 frame and Firestarter Fork?
Andrew, $999 is the MSRP for the Fargo 2 frame including the Carbon Firestarter fork.
good evening, when is possible have Fargo 3 2015 in Italy?
You used to offer the Fargo in an XXL size frame, will this ever be coming back. I would love to purchase a Fargo, but at 6'6" and 37.5 inseam it just seems too small for me.
Ezio Neri - Please contact your closest Salsa dealer in Italy and have them check with our Italian distributor as to Fargo 3 availability. http://salsacycles.com/dealers/list/Italy
Jeff - Sorry but this is one of those cases of 'damned if we do, damned if we don't'. When we made XXL size bikes we had a very difficult time selling through the few that we made. Wish I had a more helpful answer.
Hi, after some moments of thinking about pros and cons (see my comments above) I finally decided to place an order for a Fargo frame, blue with steel fork here in Germany at my local bike store. Unfortunately they told me all frames in blue are sold out. They can offer the gun metal gray version with carbon fork only. Will there be no version in blue in 2015 of the Fargo? And no frame only option without carbon fork?
Matthias - We offer the Fargo in Frameset, and not in Frame Only. Regarding the color offering, our International Distributors order the inventory they wish to carry so they are offering the Gun Metal Gray with Firestarter Carbon fork.
Im trying to get hold of an XL frame or frameset in the UK, but everyone is telling me there is no stock. Will they be available soon?
Carl Woodward - We are working on finding UK distribution at this time.
First of all, I'd like to start with the fact that I have wanted a Fargo 2 for about 6 months.
I have now learned that I can only purchase this bike through one dealer in the UK and it's going to take 3 months !
I've contacted them on a number of occasions by phone and email and they really do not seem very interested. I'm waiting for a reply from my last email for over 2 weeks !
Really really disappointing, I'm starting to lose hope of getting this bike.
The excitement of finding a bike that suits me and the anticipation of getting it are completely gone. I'm having terrible customer service and a really negative Salsa experience.
Ok, I'm one guy in the Uk - Who care's? I'm sure i'm not alone.
Simon - Thanks for your comment and your interest in the Fargo. We are actively working on setting up distribution in the UK. In fact, we just returned from meetings there. We hope to have a partner there this year, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

I love the rain... Have I ever mentioned that? The steady pitter-patter of raindrops is so very relaxing, and the gray of the sky seems to intensify the colors of the world. The green of the grass and the trees, the brilliant colors of the changing leafs (or 'leaves' if you prefer)... just beautiful
We have a couple of pet bunnies that someone released that have been hanging around our neighborhood, in about a 3-block area. As of Friday they seem to have decided that staying under my house with the feral mama kitty would be a good idea! Very cute to see them grazing in the yard when I come home from work, but I do hope that they are the same sex... I don't think that having dozens of wild bunnies living under my place would be a good idea

Willowby by Watters
Willowby by Watters, known for their free-spirited nature, evokes the grace and beauty of the butterfly in their latest collection, "Metamorphosis." Layers of diaphanous fabrics, delicate embroidery and illusion cutouts make this 20-dress collection feel light enough to take flight.
Subtle representations of butterflies can be seen throughout the collection, from the weightless, luminescent feeling of the relaxed silhouettes, to the patterned lace resembling the intricate designs on their wings. For a more literal portrayal, we love the column gown embellished with an abstract, stunningly beaded butterfly design.

As I've said, I tend to be really lazy so it's a bit rare that I actually brought myself to fix up breakfast this morning. Aside from the fact that I just can't resist food, one other motivator when preparing anything is making other people happy. I don't know. It's fun to serve the people, especially those that you love. I sometimes think my family must really enjoy living with me. Just kidding!
|Blend the waffle mix, egg and water.
|Blend until most of the lumps are gone.
|Don't forget to lightly brush some butter on the waffle maker before pouring
the batter.
I don't always use pancake/waffle mix. There are times when I actually go the extra mile by making everything from scratch. For some reason, I feel a sense of fulfillment whenever I do that. If you're pressed for time though, a box of mix is really convenient. Sometimes, you won't even need to add an egg anymore. It all depends on the brand that you purchase. I don't really have a favorite. They all taste the same to me. Besides, the most important part is deciding what to put on your waffles.
I really love pancakes and waffles because they're like pieces of blank canvass. They're plain at first, but they can look wonderful (or in this case, scrumptious) when you decide to work on them. They can go with almost anything - powdered sugar, jam, fresh fruits - it's all up to your preference. This time, I decided to go for a chocnut sort of waffle. Before stacking two waffles together, I spread some peanut butter on the lower one. I added some ice cream just to be timely with the weather. I finished everything with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and some crushed chocnut. Mouthwatering, huh?
What a nice way to start this day. I guess it's only fitting since we're having a special occasion today, my graduation. Congratulations Batch 2013!
