Michaelbrook Ranch Golf Course unspools in the Okanagan Valley, inviting players to tee off against a backdrop of mountains and wine vineyards. Measuring 3,799 yards from the back tees, the par-63 executive course is relatively diminutive in stature but outfitted with hazards such as water on four holes, troublesome rough, and the threat of interference from lost sommeliers. The distinctive 18th hole boasts two greens—one an island and one safely inland—each of which may be in play on any given day. After sinking your last putt, head over to the Brook Bar and Grill for a post-round meal and celebratory drinks.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par-63 course
- Total length of 3,799 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 58 from the back tees
- Course slope of 84 from the back tees
- Three sets of tees per hole

At Urban Links, golfers up their games with hands-on training sessions with certified instructors and access to an indoor facility with the latest in golf training technology. Golfers can cure their slice-, shank-, or narcolepsy-prone swings inside hitting bays that feature TrackMan swing-analysis software, which uses motion sensors and video playback to break down swinging motions. Urban Links' resident aces also enlist TrackMan technology to help players find out the club specifications that best fit their swing and body type. Along with lessons and club-fitting sessions, golfers can take advantage of the equipment and develop secret handshakes with cyborg Greg Normans during independent practice sessions in the hitting bays.
The soft pop of clubs against golf balls drifts from the driving range at The Golf Centre, up through orchards and toward the mountains behind them. At either sheltered or unsheltered tees on the range, golfers cut crescents from the air, their clubs arcing behind them. Staff rotate the range balls every season, limiting the possibility that customers hit a damaged ball or one they have made up a whole back story for. After ironing the kinks out of their long games, players can work on short-game strokes at the 35-yard short-game practice area, complete with sand traps, a chipping green, and a putting green. A team of CPGA-certified instructors stands at the ready to help players address their problem areas within lessons, incorporating video analysis during 60-minute private lessons to illustrate a stance that's too open or eyes that aren't open.
Only 15 minutes from Penticon, BC, Twin Lakes Golf Course stretches out over 285 acres of valley terrain, nestled among mountain slopes thick with deciduous trees such as firs and pines. The 18-hole, par 72 course takes advantage of its scenic surroundings by challenging golfers with elevated tees, which players summit with the help of shoes equipped with either cleats or spider feet. A long, treacherous sand trap lurks along hole 16's left side, earning it recognition as the course's second most difficult hole—just on the heels of hole seven, whose own sand trap and narrowed fairway make it the most challenging on the course. Players warm up at a driving range with six hitting stations or the chipping and putting practice areas before swinging through the course, and they can drop by the restaurant afterward to sip a micro-brewed foamer on the patio and gaze out at the players cartwheeling across the grass on holes 1, 9, and 10.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course
- Length of 6,867 yards from the farthest set of tees
- Course 71.9 rating of from the farthest set of tees
- Slope rating of 125 from the farthest set of tees

Golfers of all stripes can groom their game at the Doc's Golf Centre's driving range and 9 Moons Pitch & Putt course. With most holes measuring 100 yards or fewer, 9 Moons Pitch & Putt helps players hone their short games as they wedge their way to birdies and pars. For most golfers, a full nine-hole round takes less than an hour, freeing up daylight for them to continue building a robot caddy. At the 20-stall driving range, players can swing from grass hitting bays or one of 10 synthetic turf stalls. CPGA professional John Ferrier teaches lessons at Doc's Golf Centre's outdoor facility, where you can also receive club-fitting and repair services, or use the indoor golf simulator.

Reviewed for Broken Pencil.
31. Heroines, by Kate Zambreno
(Semiotext(e), 2012)
When I saw it in Book City, I couldn't resist picking it up. Zambreno looks at the "mad" literary wives of famous authors as they're popularly portrayed, with the men suffering their "difficulties," when these same – or worse – resistances and reluctances in men, are seen as signs of their fastidious genius.
She writes from a very personal, very bloggy perspective, and it doesn't come as a surprise that much of this text was cribbed from her blog, Francis Farmer is My Sister, which I hadn't read previously, but now finds a place in my RSS feeds.
It's an interesting book, personal biography intertwined with literary biography and feminist assessment. I hope to see more in this style. Continue reading »

Worst molds I have ever used
By Unhappy with the mold
from Virginia
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Aqua Block Weight Molds (Without Handle):
I bought this mold after purchasing a mold that makes up to 5lb weights, thinking this would be better. This mold needs to go back to the drawing board. The mold surface is to rough and causes the lead to be almost impossible to release. I liked the idea of having a mold that would make a certain weight and have it marked. I guess I will keep looking for a good mold. I broke this mold as well as a 2lb mold the first time I used them. Worst molds I have ever used.

About Me Advanced
I bought the 2lb version. I pound it with a hammer repeatedly and the weight will not release from the mold. I melted the lead and tried again and still the lead will not come out. This mold needs to be made better.

About Me Recreational Diver
The block weight molds are excellent! Easy to use. I made weights for my entire family. Making the weights only cost a fraction of what it would take to buy the weights at retail prices. I poured 12 weights that were 4 pounds each and they came out perfect every time! I just melted the lead using my burner from the turkey fryer and an old iron skillet that I will never use again since I melted the lead in it, but I was surprised at how easy it was to melt the lead without having to buy any extra tools.

I received a wonderful message from a woman who visited The Piercing Bible website, read my book, and became well educated about piercings.
She has a medical condition called vulvodynia and when I looked it up, I was quite surprised to find this information: A recent study found that one in four women experience chronic vulvar pain at some point in their lives, making vulvodynia a very common disorder affecting women and girls of all ages and ethnicities.
The good news is that she made sounds decisions about getting pierced and wrote to me about her highly successful VCH piercing:
Yep, I found mine!This is my husband's dating site. He wants to help othersto be as happy as we are!

OHIO VALLEY — With an increase in the number of children services cases handled throughout the area, there is also an increased need for foster parents to help care for area children.
Meigs County Juvenile Judge Scott Powell said there have been a record number of cases filed, with most of the cases involving drug use by the parents.
Area agencies are working together to help find foster parents in the tri-county area to help care for the children involved without taking the children from their friends and schools.
An informational meeting about becoming a foster parent is being held from 5:30-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 11 at Soul Harvest Church in Mason, W.Va. The church is located just past the Dollar General store on the east end of Mason.
The meeting is free and is open to anyone who may be interested about becoming a foster parent, would like more information, or has questions about foster parenting.
Representatives from both Ohio and West Virginia will be on hand to answer questions and provide information.

Islanders Get 6 Past Fleury, Even Series at Two
John Tavares' goal at 10:11 in the third nearly tore the roof off the Nassau Coliseum, because it gave the Islanders a Game 4 victory the team so desperately needed. Both teams went back-and-forth the entire game, with the Islanders holding two early leads, which didn't even combine to total two minutes. They let in an early goal in the final period off the stick of Evgeni Malkin, but Mark Streit, John Tavares, and Casey Cizikas netted three unanswered to help the Isles pull away.

Chandler then uses those items to create eclectic and edgy pieces of jewelry — rings, necklaces, bracelets and rosaries that incorporate vintage objects in the most unusual settings to create one-of-a-kind, hand-made jewelry. And people are taking notice.
"I've been making jewelry for about 12 years now," Chandler said. I'm primarily a metal smith. So I take vintage pieces and rework them into something modern, edgy and different."
The inspiration, she said, came from the fact that when trying to find jewelry for herself, there wasn't much on the market that appealed to her. And the jewelry that did was pricey and impractical. So she took matters into her own hands and the result is Ferd & Bird Jewelry.
For five years now, Chandler has been selling her jewelry online.
No two items are the same and each has a story to tell. She incorporates old keys, old rosary beads and other religious objects, dice, coins, old cameos, pins, brooches, medals and even pieces of broken porcelain. These pieces are arranged in scattered but beautiful ways with metal and beads to make the most unusual jewelry items.
"I like for everything to look really rustic and really unexpected," Chandler said. "I like to put pieces together in a way that surprises people."
In her garage studio, Chandler admits things are not as organized as they could be. But that's part of the process. She says she has "jewelry A.D.D.," with pieces sitting at her workstation for weeks at a time until the right combination of objects comes together.
"I don't ever have a plan for what a piece will look like," she said. "I'll start with the pendant because that's the biggest piece and then it'll go from there. I make the body according to how I feel at that moment."
At her website — ferdandbird.etsy.com — visitors will find all of her pieces on sale, from $10 earrings to $350 necklaces. But each is guaranteed to be hand-made and unique.
Big sellers have been rosaries, "Grace" bracelets and her "high roller" ring that incorporates a bright red die cut in half and set into a handmade metal bezel.
Her biggest online markets are Los Angeles, New York City where her pieces are sure to appeal to those with a decadent taste and a desire for jewelry that makes a statement. But Chandler's work is catching on locally as well.
In Rome, Ferd & Bird Jewelry is sold exclusively at the Last Stop Gift Shop on Jackson Hill.
But the imagination cannot be contained for too long and Chandler is always thinking of different elements to add to her jewelry. At the moment she's dreaming up a way of incorporating a tiny bird's skull in resin into a necklace.
"My jewelry may not be for everyone," Chandler said. "These are pieces that may not always be the most wearable, but they make a statement. I like surprises. I like the unexpected. That's what these are. They're unusual and totally different from what you'd expect in jewelry."
For additional information, visit ferdandbird.etsy.com or search Ferd and Bird Spiritual Recovery Jewelry on Facebook.

Simple question really, anyone care to venture an opinion?
May looks to be disappointing early on, June who knows.
Met Office 3-month Outlook, 23 March 2012: The forecast for average UK rainfall slightly favours drier-than-average conditions for April-May-June as a whole, and also slightly favours April being the driest of the 3 months.
Edited by user 27 April 2012 21:36:41(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
My god if April is the most settled of the 3 months, what will May & June bring? 2007?
Simple answer.
Because it is very difficult to predict the weather beyond a week.
"They" made this perfectly clear by saying
"This product provides some limited guidance on potential variance from climatology i.e. possible change from what is typical for UK weather.
It is however an emerging and cutting edge area of science and users are encouraged to consult our shorter range and climatological guidance before committing resources or taking action."
I'd think people on a weather forum would understand just how difficult it is to forecast weather, especially in the UK when there are so many variables. We've only to look on the MO thread to see that we can only reliably forecast a few days ahead and we know ourselves just how frustrating it can be when we're waiting for snow or thunder storms that don't actually arrive because a single factor changed or didn't fall into place. So we know that any LR forecast has to be taken with a dose of salts.
Having said that, you'd think the MO would know better by now than to even suggest what we might be in for in a months time, let alone a season, because someone always takes it as gospel!
Slot machines searching for answers funded by millions of our money.
Don't take the forecasts seriously. Your money? Who cares? Not them, for sure.
Edited by user 28 April 2012 07:36:03(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
Come on, you can do better than that, surely? Have a read up on statistics and you'll see that your question is unreasonable.
The bit you quoted is quite clear: "slightly favours" drier than average conditions and "slightly favours" April being the driest.
The computer gave an uncertain forecast and if, for example, there's a 60% chance of something happening there's still a 40% chance of it not happening. Simple, surely.
Now, if the MetO forecast used words such as "strongly favours" or "is almost certain to be" then you'd have a worthwhile gripe.
Edited by user 28 April 2012 08:34:36(UTC) | Reason: Not specified
More pertitnent is why is your reading comprehension skill so poor? And why do you not know basic statistics?
But then again, if you look at the rainfall prediction details at the bottom of the pdf link provided on the origina; post, it shows the 30+ individual model runs and out of them only 1 predicts rainfall over 120mm or 4mm/day which it looks as though we will end up with
Interestingly Philip Eden seems to have nailed it almost spot on with his effort
This is what the Met Office 30 day forecast looked like on 24 March (Philip Eden put his forecast out 11 days later on 04 April). It also picked up on the unsettled, cooler and less dry theme.
29/03 to 07/4
"A fine and dry start to the period is expected,with a good deal of sunshine for many areas"
"From the beginning of April, temperatures are likely to return nearer to average across all areas, with some quite chilly nights bringing the possibility of patchy frost. It will also turn more unsettled and windier"
"In the far north, it may be cold enough for showers to turn wintry at times, with some hill snow possible."
08/04 to 22/04
"A generally unsettled period is expected, with winds often from the northwest. Rainfall amounts for the period look to be around average across the UK, with a continuing chance of some wintry showers falling in some far northern areas, mainly on hills. Temperatures will generally be near or a little below average..."
"Despite the predominantly more unsettled theme, there will be some drier interludes, particularly in the south, with further warm sunny spells."
Because slightly favouring one possiblity over another does not mean that it will be right. Even when there is a very strong signal it doesn't necessary follow that it will happen. If you don't understand probabilty, don't read probability forecasts and you won't be disappointed. Simples.As an aside, ********** got it wrong as well
Well it's almost certainly going to be below average rainfall for me this month. Am I the only one?
The last 12 months have seen a plethora of catastrophic long range forecasts from various parties. The "severe" winter foreseen by two well known solar-activity based forecasters was a classic example. Everyone seems too ready to have a swipe at the Met Office when they publish longer range probability based forecasts. True, the barbecue summer debacle will run and run but the record of most other "forecasters" is similarly variable with "shades of '76" ending up as the coolest since '93. It's a tricky game, but isn't that what makes it so fascinating?
But on that basis we would still be holding bits of seaweed up in the air or looking to see if the cows were laying down in the field.
How do you decide when a line of research is worthwhile or worthless?
And they got that one wrong as well, didn't they

When a VDOT crew arrived on May 24 to drill for soil samples on Rt. 620 (Coulson Church Road) near Exit 19 of I-77, it found an unwelcoming committee formed of Sandra and Shirley Felts. The crew was there for the first step in a process that will eventually expand the road from a two-lane to a four-lane as part of the Wildwood Commerce Park project.
"They said they weren't coming this far, that everybody was going to be happy and satisfied. They lied to us," said Sandra Felts, referring to the Carroll County Board of Supervisors' decision in February to shorten the four-lane project.
Felts said she was upset because she would lose a good portion of the property to the project, while vacant and for-sale property across the road would be left virtually untouched.
"They ought to take it (the needed property) where the land is for sale, where nobody wants it," said Felts. "All the property on the other side of the road has been for sale, or nobody lives there."
According to Felts, she would lose a 67-foot strip of her property fronting Coulson Church Road. Although the state would pay her for all but the first seven feet, she said the offering price was not up to what property had sold for in the past.
"They offered me $3,000 an acre, but not long ago nine acres sold for $210,000," said Felts.
"I'm not against progress, I'm not against Wildwood Park, I'm not against jobs in Carroll County. I just don't think taking my property for a wider road, shoulders and a drainage ditch is right."
However, Ronald Newman, assistant county administrator for land use and planning, said Felts' concerns have been addressed by both the board of supervisors and VDOT, who holds the ultimate responsibility in decisions regarding the project.
Newman said he first met with Felts on May 14 following the board of supervisors' meeting. After discussing her concerns about the wider right-of-way, temporary easement and test holes, he advised that those decisions were made by VDOT.
The following day, Newman contacted Dan Huff of VDOT to request a meeting on the issues raised by Felts. Newman said, "Huff contacted the Salem design personnel, who informed him the plan had been revised in front of Felts' property to reduce the required right-of-way by approximately one-half. He also stated that the transition at the end of the project did require wider shoulders and that he did not think this width would be reduced or the project shortened anymore."
On May 21, Newman said he received an email from Felts, "thanking me for looking into the issue. She indicated she still had a concern with the temporary easement and VDOT needing access to her property to clean the drainage ditch that was being proposed. She also indicated she would like to meet with VDOT."
Newman responded to Felts by email. "I explained the need for temporary easements during construction and also explained that once the project is constructed all that would be left would be the permanet easement," he said. "I also explained that it was better to have the drainage ditch cleaned with water going out into a field rather than through the house. I told her VDOT would need to periodically clean the ditch and that the definition of periodically would depend upon how much mud, etc. washed into the ditch."
Newman also advised Felts that he had sent a copy of her email to Dan Huff and Lisa Hughes of VDOT, adding that a "representative of VDOT would be glad to meet with her to discuss her concerns." He also reminded her once again that the decision as how to proceed with the project came from VDOT.
The following day, Newman received an email from Huff, thanking him for attempting to explain to Felts' VDOT's need to maintain the roadways. Huff again mentioned VDOT could meet with Felts to discuss any questions she might have.
Then on May 24, the same day as Felts' confrontation with VDOT workers, Newman received an email from Huff. In the email, Huff stated "he had attempted to set up a meeting with Felts and that she advised him her doctor had recommended that she no longer discuss the project with VDOT, and that she did not desire to meet with VDOT."
An eminent domain referendum will be on Virginia's November ballot, and Felts said she would definitely be voting for it.
Among the limitations of the referendum is a restriction that only allows government to seize land for public use, instead of economic development, and requires compensation for land owners. It also has a provision that would provide business owners compensation for lost profit and lost access damages incurred when an eminent domain project impeded access to their stores.
"Voters need to vote for that so if your land is taken, you get what's it worth," said Felts.

Today's guest post is from Gary Myers from
Igor's Oracle Lab
. I was first introduced to Gary via comments left here. I can't find the first one of course...but he has left plenty of them. All well thought out and informative. Most recently he introduced me to the ability to do a bulk bind using %ROWTYPE
This is a topic that is all too often ignored, as you all know.
Steven Feuerstein states
that "Everyone knows that code review is a good idea"
The problem is what happens after the review.
Once upon a time there was a piece of code. That code had been in production for a long time, ran pretty slow but not slow enough that it had reached the top of the pile of stuff people complained about.
A change was done to that code for a new enhancement, and in one of those bursts of enthusiasm that sometimes hits a development team, it got subjected to a code review.
The whole structure of that code was ugly, with unnecessary nested cursor loops. The big kicker for performance was that at the end of one of these inner loops was a TRUNCATE TABLE. Because when you are deleting all the rows from a table, every-one *KNOWS* that a truncate is fastest, right ? Of course, as the TRUNCATE is DDL, it meant that all the SQL using that table inside that loop was getting re-parsed each and every time through the loop.
There were other problems in the code too. I believe one was with variables not being re-initialized at various points in the loop, so there was a risk of incorrect results in some unlikely cases.
The verdict of the review was that the code needed a re-write. The problem was, since it was already in production, no-one wanted to admit that there were bugs in it (and the users hadn't spotted any incorrect results). The new code would go into a future patch, but that wouldn't go live for months. However it had been promised for delivery to a test environment. A rewrite would mean missing the drop deadline.
A quick-fix could be done to improve performance. A rewrite could be done and the deadline missed. The quick-fix could be done and still meet the deadline, then a later rewrite to fix the underlying problems (but those problems probably would have been blamed on the quick fix).
A compromise was reached. Since the change to the code didn't actually introduce any new bugs, it would be allowed to go through to test with no changes from the review. And there was a promise to actually rewrite the code.
Of course, once the delivery was done, lots of other priorities came ahead. I don't know whether the code ever got the rewrite, but I suspect not. Definitely, for at least six months, there was a batch job taking hours when a five minute code change could have cut it to minutes.
At least the developers who participated in the review learnt that a TRUNCATE has drawbacks. The code reviews pretty much never happened again though.
Code reviews are critical to software development. It might seem antithetical, but to me, the main purpose of a code review is *not* to find bugs. Sure finding bugs is nice, but there are much greater benefits.
First, holding regular code reviews changes the way developers write code. If they know that someone will be reviewing //every// line of their code, they will be less apt to become code slingers.
Secondly, code reviews establish common programming techniques and styles across a team. This is important in that fewer bugs are created when people do things the same way. Not only are there fewer bugs, but bugs that do arise are easily identified by other team members who might have experienced similar issues.
Thirdly, it's a great tool to bring esoteric information to the team. There are a hundred thousand (probably not an exaggeration) little things that an experienced developer ought to know. Junior developers, no matter how talented they are, just haven't had the time to gather all of those "factlets". Code reviews are an excellent forum to introduce these bits of knowledge.
It is sad that that was the last code review. There should never be anything to hide in development. A team should be motivated to share their work with others. "Look what I can do!" not "Mind your own business!" If this attitude creeps into your organization, you'd better work to fix it, or at least go somewhere else.

I totally agree. I haven't been able to put into words point #3 so thank you for that.
Point #1 also applies to writing maintainable code, as you don't want to be (playfully) ridiculed for having sloppy code.

AKA Phasing, the mythical phase x you promise to do once whatever milestone has been achieved.
Agile methods like peer programming and refactoring help with this, but once code is in production, good luck getting a refactor done.
The future is good enough.

Atlassian's dev teams do quite a few code reviews (after all, we *do* sell Crucible, a code review tool ;)). We've found it's most effective to review diff-based changes as they are made, rather than trying to review legacy code that has been proven to work in production environments. There are a lot of benefits to this approach. You save bug-fixing time by finding defects earlier, and the developers involved don't need to do a bunch of preparation, because the amount of code being reviewed (typically a single changeset) is not huge.

Isn't FishEye an Atlassian product too? Haven't used Crucible yet.
I like that methodology though, just the changeset, for exactly the reasons you mention. What about new products though, or additional features that require wholly different code?
Not that it probably matters in your environment as it sounds like you've got things humming along. Color me jealous. ;)

Yeah, I run up against that wall all too often.
I haven't learned yet how to fight it (or even if it should be).
What if you have 10 developers maintaining something that should normally take 3? Even if it "works" wouldn't you suggest, at some point, a rewrite?
I've seen an application running on a 3 node RAC Cluster that could just as easily run off...an iPhone. How do you make that sale (time/effort) against the desire to keep purchasing hardware and licenses?

@chet: In my experience, even if you're overstaffing to support old production code, the fear of downtime and issues associated with a refactor is not enough to keep it as is.
Even a cost-benefit analysis doesn't always work b/c loss of a production system inevitably has unexpected ripples.

I made this last night...yummers....serve over rice....
4 or 5 cups of random veggies (I use mushrooms, asparagus, red & green peppers, but it's your choice)
2 or 3 baby bok choy
jalapenos (I use 4 or 5, but I'm crazy)
garlic (I use 4 or 5 large cloves, but I'm crazy)
grated lemon rind (1-2 tsp)
grated lime rind (1-2 tsp)
about 10 fresh basil leaves
1/2-3/4 can of lite coconut milk (a whole standard can makes it more like thai soup..still good, but too much liquid for a proper "stir-fry")
salt & pepper
hot pepper flakes
lime juice
First, get your rice going.
I then cut up all the veggies, set them aside and get the mushrooms sauteeing (with salt, pepper & chili flakes) then prep the sauce.
Sauce: In a blender or food processor, puree lemon & lime rinds, coconut milk, garlic & jalapenos.
Add sauce & the rest of the veggies to the wok/pan with mushrooms. Simmer til veggies are cooked. Add more hot pepper flakes, salt and/or pepper (to taste) along with lime juice (probably a tablespoon or so, but I just squeeze the juice from my lime into the mix).

Starting to look like a beautiful solo ride.
Starting to look like a beautiful solo ride.
I have a party Sunday but this might happen if I get over my cold.
The older I get, the Faster I was .......and the less I remember...........What?
I may get in a few hops this weekend, for sure.
At least to get the bikes on the road and top them off before our capricious weather turns.
Will have to catch up with you, Bryan.
We'll be looking at snow and ice. I think.
I saw Marcin today, he had an accident the other night, he's not sure what happened, but he lost control of a KTM he was riding, crashed and he woke up in a hospital 6 hours later.
ATGATT saved him - his helmet, jacket and pants were toast - Doc has told him to stay off the bike for a while. KTM can be repaired.
He'll be OK. I think he's off MOA - so messages posted here won't be seen by him.
'Stopped for a bite at Rod's Packer Inn near Silver Lake for a burger and a couple of Cokes. Lakes just glisten these days with the leaves down - lots of bonfires scented the air.
100 or so miles.
Was a beautiful day to get out and about. My thoughts were to ride till the gas light came on...so I could fill-er up with fresh gas. Did that.....about 140 mi for the day. Just a few stops and meeting up with many many many bikes on the road. And most waved!! Could this be it??? Riding in November; how good is that!

Is especially great. That heat which is a bother in the summer, is welcome in the Spring and Fall!!
I just spoke to him. He said a raccoon ran out and under his wheel and he flew at @ 40mph over the bike and landed head first. At least that's what he was told. He does not remember. Must have been a big raccoon.
He won't be able ride or drive for a few weeks.
Only Marcin ... would be able to share a story like that
Take Care Marcin
A beautiful day - wound up donning and plugging in my electric jacket liner around 12:30 when the sun vanished somewhere East of Lake Geneva.
I like the colors of the Wisconsin farmlands and forests this time of year.
Watch out for Bambi however.
I gather the rest of the crew has parked their bikes for the season?

Marcin was back riding WAY before the doctors advice.

Mobile Firefox "Fennec" Becomes 1.0
After one and half years in development, the Mozilla project is now releasing its first stable version of its mobile Firefox, code-named Fennec. The target platform is initially Maemo.
The mobile Firefox version easily adapts to the smartphone environment with its one-touch bookmarking and new tabs, Weave synchronization add-on to work together with a desktop, and webpage thumbnails for orientation. Fennec is now released in its first stable version.
Users will unfortunately have to wait for plugins such as Flash, as the "Developer Questions" in the release notes indicate. These functions are disabled in the Maemo Firefox in that having them enabled slows down the surfing experience. The project is, however, planning an add-on in the future whereby users can enable and disable plugins.
Apart from Maemo on the Nokia N900 smartphone and N810 tablet there are currently no other supported platforms for a stable mobile Firefox. An alpha version is planned for Windows Mobile. A version for Android is also planned, but not yet implemented. The project has already declined the Blackberry and iPhone, mainly because the Blackberry OS doesn't provide any native components and the iPhone OS is too closed. Even Symbian phones have no Fennec in sight, according to the project. All phones belonging to the "smartphone" class (minicomputer and phone in one) don't have enough system resources to power Fennec.

The government's cap on personal lending, new support for local banking institutions and emphasis on growing Islamic finance have created new opportunities for HSBC.
