Being one of a few restaurants in OC that's perched on a high-enough mound of earth, Orange Hill is still, after all these years, making a killing on that view. The valet is still mandatory and if you eat at the actual restaurant, it's going to cost you about $40 for a 14-ounce New York steak and another $30 on top of that if you add a lobster tail. But Orange Hill does have its bar, which has windows that look out to the same view the restaurant boasts, and a Happy Hour menu with which you could conceivably construct your entire dinner. Get the $4 beef sliders with an avalanche of fries, and the great $4.50 wedge salad that would've cost twice as much if you eat in inside the restaurant during a regular meal. And the normally $9 cocktails? They're $6.
The bar makes a good mojito, but it's the Gin-Gin Mule you want. What's a Gin-Gin Mule? Why, it's a recent invention credited to a woman named Audrey Sanders who opened The Pegu Club on SoHo, which is yes, in New York, where drinks like this are often invented. And yes, not unlike a real mule, it's a hybrid–a cross between a Gin and Tonic and a Moscow Mule. There's fresh lime juice in it, also simple syrup, but most importantly a spicy ginger beer and that Bombay Sapphire, which together is more refreshing than Gatorade on a hot day.
But also, it's the perfect drink to sip as you peer out to the twinkly lights of suburban Orange County, which, to be honest, isn't ever going to be as impressive as, say, the view atop Seattle's Space Needle, or even any random office building in Manhattan. Still, it's ours, and if you do the Happy Hour, it'll be worth the cost of valet. To catch the last drops of sunlight before it disappears below the horizon, get here early, and be thankful there aren't any pesky buildings to block it.

I'm a stickler for craftsmanship. I'd like to know what type of wood this is made of. Is it hard wood or a pressboard/plywood? And if its hardwood, if possible what wood? One last question, where was it made? ie: China? US?
And yes, I do this in stores too if the answer isn't obvious. Lol.
For a tiny 6" table that will cost 20ish with S/H, I won't buy blind. I'm not expecting it to be perfect, but wood used for ritual use is important to me. And there wasn't enough information in the description.
Thanks in advance for the info =)

The Professional Image
The Total Program for Marketing Yourself Visually
Dressing for success 1980s style! You can't miss with your power suit and shoulder pads. Of course this needs to be weeded! Yes the basic information is pretty solid and for that matter timeless, but the examples are not going to work. I even wonder if today's workforce is even "buying" the idea of professional dress.
Yes, please weed it and then find something newer. Then please send it to my HR department stat! Although I think they're still using the one from the 1970s. It's before my time, but I've been told by colleagues that women weren't allowed to wear pants to work at my organization until after the year 2000. Sheesh!
Luckily all I ever have to wear is scrubs, but I'm a little envious of the women in the front office (most in their 50s and 60s) who always manage to look so put-together, with their conservative dresses and power hair.
Can someone write a book about good first impressions for the under-25 set? I've conducted interviews with "kids" who show up in jeans and sneakers, snapping gum and fussing with their hair, slouching all over the place, etc. And let's not get started on the resumes with text-speak, misspellings and grammar errors. They're not dumb – most of them are very smart, talented people, but it's hard to get past that bad first impression.
Mustache pride now!
Open toed shoes with pantyhose are never appropriate.
I've actually been on the receiving end of some current advice for job seekers regarding wardrobe (getting a Ph.D. soon, and I've got to start looking for work). I was actually told NOT to wear skirts. In my field (chemistry), sometimes a job candidate is required to give presentations on his or her graduate research. Because one cannot know the setup of the presentation room in advance, one does not, for example, want to be sitting on a raised platform in a skirt which may slide up and reveal more than one intended.
I probably wouldn't dress this way AFTER being hired, because it would be unsafe to wear open-toed shoes in a lab. But it can't hurt to wear a (pants) suit to at least make a good first impression. And I did once have a summer job at a law firm where suits were required, even for paralegals and file clerks, on a daily basis. Still, this book, which was printed when I was 7 years old, is woefully out of date.
This is the first I've heard of the "corporate uniform of the '70s" but I admire their correct use of the apostrophe. I guess that went out of style in the '80s too.
Love that the male model also shaved off his mustache. We'll have none of those disco mustaches in our pristine 80s offices, thankyouverymuch!
These pictures take me back to my childhood in the 80s. My mother was into these books and anxiously told me I had to dress like this when I had a "real" job.
Well, Flash forward some years and at most of my jobs, I've been able to wear jeans and look extremely wide. Times, they do change and that's all right by me!
There are still a number of places that have dressy dress codes–I believe it's more in the larger cities like NYC and DC where it's most common.
As a fiction writer, I wouldn't mind snapping this up as a reference, though a lot of historical fashion info is available online. But yeah, I'd say weedable.
Some guys can make a mustache work. That guy definitely ain't one of 'em.
The lack of partizan bitching about current standards in the comments is refreshing. Anyway, I agree with the weed-and-replace judgement. The replacement book should be one that addresses the peculiarities of different professions. As mentioned, some (legal) are always extremely formal for everyone and others (medical, laboratory) have specialized requirements for practicality/safety reasons.
While I agree that the clothing is out of date, some of the advice is still good. I conducted an interview not too long ago and one of the job seekers showed up in a track suit and flip flops. I knew right then that there was no way I was going to hire her. I hope there's something newer out there geared toward the younger set.
That fashion advice is actually quite valid – those models do look much better in the outfits on the right. This book was probably fantastic for it's time – if there was a recent update, I'm sure it would be worth getting.
@Hitchhiker – I disagree. Going without pantyhose, no matter if the shoes are open toed or not, looks cheap and tawdry. If I'm dressing up I'm wearying nylons. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss my pantyhose covered butt.
I like this book and while shoulder pads may no longer be in, a nice suit is always in style. Too bad most businesses today look like they're the headquarters of Slobs Are Us.
Though this book is completely out of date, the lessons in it are not. Even if you work in a casual place, you can look nice and make yourself look put together. I watch What Not to Wear, especially when they make over academics and teachers. Most of the tips from this book are stated in that show frequently–there are ways to not look fatter, ways to look put together, and ways to look like you care enough about yourself to bother.
At our university, there are faculty who always complain about being mistaken for secretaries or students. I look at them and think "of course you do! You're in jeans and a T-shirt." Although, our administrative assistants aren't allowed to wear jeans!
I looked on Amazon and the most current version of this book is from 1997, though. I'm going to look for a similar book though. I love the side-by-side pictures with the same models, that the book is intended for an older audience, and that the models aren't stick thin. I think it's a good add for a professional collection.
@ Jami and Hitchhiker – I have always been under the impression that if you are wearing stockings, you are automatically going to wear closed-toe pumps. Open-toed shoes have always appeared to me to be less "formal" so if you are wearing them, I'm assuming you are somewhere that you do NOT have to wear nylons, or wearing something they wouldn't look right with, like a summer sundress. Who on earth wears nylons under a summer dress when it's in the 90's? I work for a worldwide retail bank, and dress guidelines specifically state that women are not to wear open-toed shoes. I usually opt for pants suits and either low-heeled pumps or, in the winter, heeled dress boots. We even have criteria for the blouses that can be worn under our suits. Corporate NYC ia not a place for sandals and facial hair.
Also, as someone who has interviewed various people, I want to add that the best, most put-together outfit is useless if the person wearing it doesn't actually care that much about their personal appearance. People (woman and men) who show up on time and dressed appropriately have little chance when they forget to button important (i.e., right over the bust) buttons on their blouses, show up with chipped nail polish (no nail polish is better), have bad breath, peeling belts, dirty necks and hands, or cannot keep eye contact. Ugh.
Except for the age, that's a great book to have–I'm in a class on human relations in organizations right now and we're covering dress and body language. And actually, though it out-of-date, those illustrations with both to and what not to do would be useful for a great many people I know. Updated, of course.
In a newer book, I like Lurker's idea of talking about different professions, or one that would talk about current less-professional clothing (i.e. current business casual, or what's businesslike but beneath the level of suits).
I worked for IBM in the 80's in Australia. We got a style manual, ladies were not to wear trousers, jangly jewelry or overtly bright eye shadow. We were alllowed to smoke at our desks though! Men were advised not to wear double breasted jackets if they were portly and facial hair for mean was frowned upon. We all wore suit jackets to work and had a special cupboard to hang them up in at our desk. The othe day I follwed somone into work who was wearing sheep skin boots with their tracksuit bottoms. All jobs have a uniform and learning what it is and how to make the best of it is important as people do judge a book by it's cover, at least innitially.
While there are a few work environments that require dressing very professionally, that is not the case in higher education in my area. Pantyhose is as rare as unicorns around here, worn mainly by women in their sixties. Sandals are worn all year as well.
in winter, it is stylish to wear dark tights with open toed shoes. Those dress bootie-sandal things are very fashionable (I'm sure they have a name, but I don't know it). Sheer, nude pantyhose is a no, though, with open-toed shoes.

The Harbeson DE 19951 Psychic Readings You Could Rely Upon
This directs the psychic reader where to look. It offers the psychic a concept of what details the client is really seeking instead of thinking. They might be instinctive readers but they are incline readers. The distinction is that they can see what is going on around you and see the path that you and others around you are on. This is various than hearing someone's thoughts.
To begin with, the psychic reader requires to be friendly and develop a relationship with the one they are reading, that is non-threatening. Let them understand you exist to assist.
Tarot Cards Reading
The Two of Swords is represented by a picture of two swords crossing over the heart of a woman. Opposing forces in a stalemate and a guarded heart are characteristic of this tarot card. Exactly what the opposing forces are can vary: negative and positive strength, weakness and energy, action and inactiveness, etc. It will take a good deal of effort and sometimes time for one of these sides to triumph over the other. The aura of defense offered by the crossed swords against risk will be broken by itself if offered sufficient time. If they are forced apart, the unexpected change will bring pain. If it reveals up in a relationship tarot reading, this card reveals that both people are similarly to blame for an unfavorable circumstance and will continue in their behavior unless somebody breaks the cycle.
The word psychic just implies someone that can see into the spiritual world. They may be able to pick up things from the past, future and present. The majority of psychics have a specialized in which they can get things on different concerns such as: love, money, romance, service, medium (speaking with the dead) and other presents. The psychic world can include so much and we need to use an open eye in today's society when we are discussing anyone such as a: pastor, prophet, evangelist, priest, rabbi, seer and other well known titles. We need to take a look at the heart of each individual before we march to judge them. A lot of psychics invest their whole lives serving others through the psychic reading.
Palm Reading In Harbeson Delaware 19951
My story is a bit various. and might NOT resonate with all you. I operate in the amazing, enlightening and exhilarating field of self assistance, and spiritual publishing. Whatever from Yoga treatments. to alternative health, to spirituality, and psychic energies. The people I understand, and meet generally are NOT the sort of "stuffy" office types a lot of you deal with everyday.
One can find these sites in a basic search alternative on the internet. There are some websites that operates on a really easy basis. Here one can discover practically everything he needs to know, such as his financial condition, his love life i.e. various elements of his future, in one click.
This card in a tarot reading offers indicator of anything from a brand-new partnership, to something much deeper. Somebody may be looking for change and there is indicator of lots of experiences and possibly unions. But equally, if it is reversed, there might be numerous separations also. There is a strong desire to be delighted in life, to get on, to like and be liked. However reversed, this card recommends the querent needs to try not to be too self-centered in attitude.

Big Brother is watching; this time, from a new house. Photographs of the new Big Brother house were released yesterday, a week before the 2011 chapter of the popular reality TV show kicks off. With celebrities like Amy Childs, Kerry Katona, Tara Reid, Pamela Anderson and Jedward entering the house this year, interest is high in the celebrity reality show. Moreover, the swank new Big Brother house is sure to generate some buzz as well.
An illuminated staircase brings the contestants to a colorful and contemporary living area. The sleeping area houses 10 single beds and a double bed. The garden at the back has a pool, an abstract seating area as well as a large bath with a glass wall. The spacious bathroom comes with a standalone bath. The kitchen too is colorful, streamlined and well equipped with new appliances. The presence of the bar area suggests that contestants could get drunk and further liven up the mood in the house.
The new edition of Big Brother has already generated some headlines after Amy Childs walked out on Essex-based TV reality show, The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE). The This Morning presenter was spotted at Joey Essex's 21st birthday party on Wednesday night. She looked stunning in a gold dress and heels but seemed ill-at-ease hobnobbing with her former co-stars. Former co-star James Argent has already predicted that TOWIE will continue to be popular even after Childs' departure.
In the meanwhile, singer Peter Andre has predicted that Childs has a good chance of being the last one standing in the Big Brother house. Will she? Won't she? We will know only after the show starts.

Stainless Steel Straws are Eco-Friendly but Not Bendy

Stainless Steel Straws are exactly what you think they are. They're straws. They're stainless steel. As someone who's always tossing away her plastic straws, it never crossed my mind how wasteful that could be. If I had a stainless steel straw, I would have to be real baller-shot-caller to to throw one of those away without feeling guilty. They won't melt when you wash them with hot water, they look really cool, and you can re-use them again and again. How awesome is that?

Is there a specific set of traits that boost a person's odds of being a successful start-up CEO? If so, do start-up capital providers seek out people with those traits regardless of gender? If not, are capital providers biased towards investing in men-led ventures?
My guess is that the answers are yes, in some cases, and often. And since venture capital has woefully under-performed as an asset class -- according to Cambridge Associates, the internal rate of return on the average VC fund in the decade ending 2012 was a meager 6.9% below the NASDAQ's 8.5% -- it desperately needs more successful entrepreneurs who can boost VC's' returns.
Adding more women and men -- possessed with the traits that lead to successful exits -- to the pool of start-up CEOs could help. And to do that, both capital providers and entrepreneurs should make some changes.
These thoughts come to mind after reading the New England Venture Capital Association's (NEVCA) survey of 100 Boston-area entrepreneurs that was published July 24. It revealed that a majority of women entrepreneurs face a tough time getting capital.
Yet some women entrepreneurs who have gotten funding generated tremendous value for shareholders and thousands of jobs. And my interviews with a woman entrepreneur and a venture capitalist who has reaped that value, suggest that the traits of a successful entrepreneur are the same for men and women -- and that men and women should examine whether they have those traits before launching a start-up.
The NEVCA's survey found that 70% of Boston-area entrepreneurs say that the region's startup community is either sometimes or not at all inclusive to female entrepreneurs. NEVCA executive director, C.A. Webb, explained in a July 24 interview, that she wants Boston to be the best place for women-led start-ups.
"Our vision is to make our city the best for men and women start-ups. This means doing more of what we are already doing and some new things as well. We need to maintain and strengthen our base of venture capital and angel investors, make mentors accessible to entrepreneurs, and build our clusters of knowledge and expertise in enterprise, robotics, and healthcare IT," said Webb.
She also wants aspiring political leaders to work with local investors and entrepreneurs to help the region compete. According to Webb, "We need the candidates running for Mayor of Boston and soon, Massachusetts governor, to be more declarative about Boston's strength in IT -- not just biotech. And we need them to work with the start-up community to craft strategies to make the region more competitive."
But Webb's vision for a gender-blind startup community will not happen unless the "pipeline" is more robust. "More girls in K through 12 must take math and science; they should go to coding camps; adults should lobby for computer science education in public schools; CEOs should recruit and hire more women; and investors and entrepreneurs should invite more women to social events -- like Red Sox games."
In general, Webb believes that there is much that educators, politicians, investors, and entrepreneurs can do to help produce more women entrepreneurs. But will these things help if a person lacks the basic traits for entrepreneurial success?
Carol Barash, founder and CEO of NYC-based Story to College, sees the same attitudes towards women entrepreneurs in Manhattan as the ones highlighted in the NEVCA study. But she believes that women need to make themselves better entrepreneurs rather than waiting for the world to adapt to them.
"Raising money, hiring and firing people, and negotiating with customers and suppliers require toughness and persistence. On July 23, Story to College won the Count Me In Urban Rebound accelerator program for women entrepreneurs sponsored by Sam's Club. Too many women CEOs at Count Me In could not answer basic questions about their start-ups -- such as how much profit they would make this year or who their competitors are."
Barash, author of Write Out Loud, has observed the importance of toughness and resilience from role models. "My mother started a company and sold it for $20 million. In order to do that, I saw her make sacrifices -- she tended to the business more than to herself."
While I am seeking statistics about the relative investment performance of women-led start-ups, research suggests that women at the top of publicly traded companies contribute to higher investment returns for their shareholders.

Meet the greedy, subversive Jew behind N.W.A.
Tablet, the respectable online Jewish magazine focusing on a variety of topics pertaining to the Jewish community and the Jewish state of Israel, recently published an incredibly revealing article focusing on Jerry Heller, the greedy, subversive Jewish manager of the notorious gansta rap group N.W.A. – an abbreviation of Niggaz Wit Attitudes.
In the article, it is revealed Heller is a typical Jewish shyster, accused of financially exploiting and stealing from the reprehensible rap group following their rise to stardom thanks in large measure to their promotion by the Jewish-controlled pop culture industry. Straight Outta Compton, a heavily hyped movie named after the 1988 album that led to the rap group's widespread popularity, is set to debut this weekend. The movie is based on the real life story of the repugnant and entirely destructive rap group.
A biopic of the pioneering rap group N.W.A opens in theaters across the country this weekend. Titled Straight Outta Compton, after the name of the group's iconic 1988 album, the film portrays the life and rhymes of the hip-hop collective—members Arabian Prince, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and MC Ren—including the relationships between the members, their massive success, and the group's ultimate disbanding. Jerry Heller is the Jewish music manager and mastermind behind the group that inspired a gangsta rap movement, and coined the phrase "Fuck Tha Police," which became their anthem. Heller plays a central—but certainly not flattering—role in the N.W.A story. He propelled the group to fame and fortune, however he is also, in some circles, believed to have swindled money out of the group by taking advantage of their success. […]
Heller first got involved with the burgeoning California gangsta rap scene in 1987. Before this he had had moderate success as a road manager, arranging the transportation of rock 'n' roll stars to and from their concert venues. However, his career never quite took off—that is, not until he met Eric "Eazy-E" Wright when he was in his forties […]
Heller became N.W.A's manager, and the group subsequently enjoyed the success of six platinum records while becoming a cultural phenomenon. Out of all the members of N.W.A, Heller had a particularly close relationship with Eazy-E, who saw Heller as a father figure. However, it was the close nature of this relationship that eventually contributed to the souring of Heller's relationship with N.W.A. Eazy-E and N.W.A began to suspect Heller of financial impropriety—taking percentages of the group's earnings that weren't rightfully he is. For the rappers, this was tantamount to betrayal. […]
I have an honest question: is there any subversive, destructive social and/or cultural phenomenon (let alone economic or political) that is not led and promoted by Jews? I seriously cannot think of any.
Every subversive, disgusting, and unnatural social and/or cultural phenomenon we see in our world today – "homosexual rights", "gay marriage", transgenderism, feminism, multiculturalism, mass immigration, anti-racism, sickening pop culture, excessive hedonism and materialism, degenerate music, etc. – is a direct result of Jewish instigation, promotion, and organization. We need to understand that basic fact. Incredibly, the Jews often openly admit these hidden truths in their own newspapers, magazines, and other publications.
Lenon Honor, an insightful and honorable Black author and researcher who has appeared on The Realist Report on two separate occasions (MP3s are here and here), has produced a series of videos critically analyzing N.W.A. and the movie that is set to be released this weekend promoting this disgusting rap group. The video series is worth watching, in my opinion, even if you don't entirely agree with all of the statements made and opinions offered by Lenon (which I most certainly do not).

Explanation of rules of English grammar, punctuation, and word usage through pictorial representations and in an easy-to-understand language.
You see the difference? Most of us often find grammar, punctuation, and word usage lessons boring. Grammarics takes the boredom out by explaining the concepts visually, using humorous illustrations. Our pictorial representations depict the imagery that would be created in a reader's mind if one were to use grammar, punctuation, or words incorrectly. This reinforces the concepts in one's mind, while at the same time providing some good laughs. We received some great feedback on our concept.

Slaughter has the ability to create wonderfully imagined and designed books some with flaps, some without (see Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow? and the many books he's illustrated with Marthe Jocelyn) and this book is no exception. The
digital illustrations have a retro nautical style and color palate (UPDATE: I have been informed that the illustrations are actually hand cut from paper. I was astounded because the shapes are so crisp and the layouts so precise. My apologizes for this error.). Collage
elements and large, flat block print-like shapes create a bright and colorful
environment. The text is simple and
follows a quickly established pattern.
Pair this book with Boats: Speeding! Sailing! Cruising!, Little Boat, or Jonathan and the Big Blue Boat. Try rhymes and songs like, Row,Row, Row Your Boat, Here is the Sea, and Michael Row Your Boat Ashore.
The large and easily identifiable shapes used in the illustrations make this a wonderful addition to a shape themed storytime. As you read the book, ask kids to find squares, circles, and triangles in the illustrations. Follow up by creating colleges of boats with precut paper shapes. Check out this boat craft that introduces the idea of halves to kids from DKTK.

Openstreetmap already has a webserver that looks up locations by URL, such as: http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=63.41283&lon=10.4888&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF Would such an URL work on a MMS-capable phone? This URL is javascript, but a few simple calculations can yield a link directly to a tile png file instead. Helge Hafting

NEW YORK (Jul. 26)
Israel's wine export to the United States is to be greatly increased, it was announced here today by the economic department of the American section of the Jewish Agency.
The announcement said that 35,000 cases, representing a retail value of $900,000, are to be shipped from the famous Rishon Wine Cellars to the Israel Middle East Corporation in New York, for distribution throughout the United States. This represents an increase of approximately $700,000 over wine exports to the U.S. during 1949.

Silver and gold are great, but do you have the stones to branch out into a ring made of something entirely new? I do. I mean, I wood.
And, to take the wood-and-stone thing one step further, I am totally pining for this ring.
Whether you were lucky enough to get jewelry for Valentine's Day or you're still putting his socks in the freezer as punishment for forgetting, this amazing piece of jewelry can make it all better. Even if you have to buy it for yourself.
I'm really digging the unusual look of this three-stone wood ring by Fotini Designs.
The stones are, in fact, white topaz. And the smooth, black wood comes
from fast-growing Indonesian Sono trees and is therefore environmentally
friendly. Plus 10% of the proceeds go to Vday.org, a charity dedicated
to fighting violence against women around the world. Not surprisingly, the designer is
a mom herself.
Unusual. Beautiful. Sparkly. Smooth. Environmentally
conscious and charity-minded. Be-leaf me when I say I wood like that
very much. Okay, you can stop groaning now. ~Delilah
Find this gorgeous wood ring at Fotini Designs. They have other designs in wood with different shapes and stones, too, if you're into that. And if you're in Atlanta, you can try one on at The Beehive Co-op.

TAUPO (NEW ZEALAND), 15 August 2009 – Dylan Ferrandis (Yamaha) from France and Tye Simmonds (KTM) from Australia were the fastest riders the first day of the FIM Junior Motocross World Championship in New Zealand.
The town Taupo is the home of New Zealand's top motocross facility, Digger McEwen Motocross track, which hosts the biggest Junior's event and also the home of 2004 MX2 World Champion Ben Townley. The Qualifying day in Taupo was cold, it was raining. Already the first day young riders showed us the big competitive spirit and their qualities.
French rider Dylan Ferrandis takes the pole position in the FIM Junior 85 cc class. He was for almost five seconds faster as his rivals. Although riders were trying to ride fast, Ferrandis was much faster than everyone. His final advantage was very big, what put him on the place of the biggest favourite for the Junior World Champion Title 2009. Jay Wilson (KTM) from Australia was second, Lars van Berkel (Honda) from Netherlands was third.
Excellent prepared Digger McEwen track was favourable also for Australian rider Tye Simmonds (KTM), the winner of the FIM Junior 125 cc Qualifying Practice. Riders in this class were closer. Glenn Coldenhoff (Suzuki) from Netherlands was second and American Eli Tomac (Honda) was third. Results were mixed and tomorrow riders will decide to which part of the World the Junior World Champion Title will go.
Qualifying Practice Top Ten: 1. Tye SImmonds, KTM (Australia), 2. Glenn Coldenhoff, Suzuki (Netherlands), 3. Eli Tomac, Honda (USA), 4. Josh Cachia, Yamaha (Australia), 5. GIacomo Del Segato, Honda (Italy), 6. Hamish Dobbyn, Kawasaki (New Zealand), 7. Ross Beaton, Yamaha (Australia), 8. Cameron Dilon, Honda (New Zealand), 9. John Phillips, Kawasaki (New Zealand), 10. Luke Styke, Yamaha (Australia)
85cc Qualifying Practice Top Ten: 1. Dylan Ferrandis, Yamaha (France), 2. Jay Wilson, KTM (Australia), 3. Lars van BErkel, Honda (Netherlands), 4. Dylan Long, KTM (Australia), 5.

At the moment I am a one-person show working on this and have no coding experience but if there is some obvious code I should remove, I can do that and I can also remove the background image if that will make a difference.
Thanks very much for any help! Best, Christine

On the other hand, platinum prices managed to climb $10 at today's market opening, rising to $1,819.00 per ounce. Palladium was ahead in price as well, showing a $3 gain at the $813.00 mark per ounce. Meanwhile, rhodium added $10 of its own to bid values, and was quoted at the $2,390.00 per ounce level.
The noble metals do not appear to be lacking buyers amid news that, for example, China imported 40% more of one of the group's components (platinum) last year. Albeit the Chinese government is now placing some restrictions on new car registrations in the current year, in an effort to address nightmarish urban traffic conditions in the country, the nation's car sales are still on track to eventually show a 10 to 15 percent annual gain in 2011.
And, since China was very much on player's minds during the metals' meltdown this week (something we alluded to in the first part of the Kitco 2011 Precious Metals Outlook recently), let us take a small excerpt from a Reuters Q&A on the topic of Chinese policy; specifically as regards that scary word: "tightening."
Q: HOW will they do it? Answer:
"A slew of measures are likely including higher interest rates, tougher reserve requirements, faster currency appreciation as well as administrative measures such as bank lending restrictions, property market curbs and price controls. Their total impact, however, is likely to be more gradual than heavy-handed. In monetary policy, the central bank will rely mostly on required reserves, because they are seen as a softer alternative to interest rate increases and it can change the requirements without seeking cabinet-level approval.
Some analysts think the required reserve ratio could climb to as high as 23 percent by December, from a record 19.5 percent now. On rates and the yuan, investors reckon authorities will be far less forceful. The market consensus is for interest rates to rise 50 basis points by the second half. For the yuan, analysts believe gains will be capped at about 5 percent this year. The China Securities Journal, an official newspaper, said on Friday that the next interest rate increase could come as soon as the Chinese New Year holiday in early February.
There has also been a debate about lending curbs, with the central bank pushing for a lower ceiling than other government agencies. But with the bank regulator pushing this week for a quick halt to off-balance-sheet lending, the indication at present is that Beijing is indeed pulling in the reins, aiming to cap new loans at about 90 percent of last year's total."
Until next week, take care, and we hope to see you ALL (well, most of you anyway) at the upcoming Vancouver Resource Investment Conference in that most beautiful of Canadian –indeed, world- cities.

Fiji Time: 8:01 AM on Tuesday 20 February
/ Front page / News
Dawn Gibson
Wednesday, April 02, 2014
THE political party SODELPA opened its new branch in Suva yesterday.
In an interview, SODELPA leader the marama Roko Tui Dreketi Ro Teimumu Kepa said the old office had served them well for the past seven years, but they were forced to get a new one because of the recent expansion in party members.
"We found that it was just not catering for our requirements because we have so many people coming through and the various councils that have been set up according to the SODELPA Constitution," Ro Teimumu said.
"That is the women's council, the youth council and some of the other committees that are part of the administration of the whole party — we found that the office was just too small."
She said the party was particularly grateful to the Fiji Teachers Association for keeping the office space vacant for SODELPA's particular use.
"For that we are really grateful to the FTA because they kept this building available for us so from today (yesterday), we are paying rent for this building but all this time they've made it available for us to move in here.
"Mostly, the main structure (of SODELPA) will be here and the other constituencies will have their own offices because under the decrees, they have to establish their own offices in the other areas of Fiji, so this will be the main office," Ro Teimumu said.
She said because of financial constraints the party was facing, up to 99 per cent of their members were volunteers.

After 2 and a half years of fumbling the Swedish Match application for Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) status on their General Snus products sold in US convenience stores, the FDA announced on Dec 14th they had taken "action".
After a careful review of the entire MRTPA process concerning General Snus and FDA's eventual ruling, a fair-minded person can only conclude that NO tobacco product will ever win MRTP status, regardless of the merits, from this FDA Center for Tobacco Products.
This begs the question, Congressional mandate notwithstanding, why does FDA perpetuate this cruel, expensive, and time consuming farce? Simply make the MRTPA process a one page form, hold the required public comment period, and then deny the application. That would save both the government and the manufacturer huge amounts of money while delivering the same outcome as the current process...minus the hypocrisy.
You will never see published a letter from a cigarette smoker thanking Altria or Reynolds American for addicting them to nicotine through cigarettes. Likewise, a short note saying "I'm a life-long smoker. So happy today to learn I have lung cancer!" is even more unlikely.
In the case of nicotine-addicts now cigarette-free because of Swedish snus, thank you letters and testimonials are more the rule than the exception.....
General ONYX Strong Portion Snus: if you're looking for a great snus then this is the stuff to get! ONYX has been the flagship of the General Snus line since 2006 and it is quickly apparent why……
Snus flavored with spirits is a tradition going back hundreds of years to the beginnings of snus itself. Farmers in Sweden who made the first snuses for their own use often went beyond the basic tobacco, water, and salt recipe. It comes as no surprise that wine and spirits were among the different ingredients added to home-made snus.
Mass-marketed Swedish snus flavored with alcoholic beverages have come a long way since Probe Whiskey Portion Snus was launched in 1994. While Probe has been delisted this year, 2016 will bring forth new snuses flavored with whisky, rum, and bourbon....
Since 2014 Swedish Match and Mackmyra Whisky have been secretly collaborating on a premium whisky snus project; General Mackmyra Whisky Snus. The release was timed to occur in 2016; the 150th anniversary year of General Snus.
Not a word of General Mackmyra leaked out until December 2015; 5 months prior to its planned release date and 3 months prior to the official product announcement. Numerous pictures, reviews, and product information spread like a virus throughout social media, much to the chagrin of Swedish Match.
It seemed there was little more to know about General Mackmyra prior to the official 15 Feb 2016 (GMT+1) product announcement but I'm happy to tell you there is some tasty information left plus some snus trivia which I can finally now share with you....
General Kardus Fäviken 2016 is one of the most exciting Kardus special edition snuses ever issued; at least since my favorite Kardus Superior Edition 2009 was released.
General Kardus Fäviken 2016 is very special for a few reasons. This year is the 150th Anniversary of General Snus, the world's largest selling brand of Swedish Snus.
As such, this year's Kardus had to be not only unique, but an exquisite expression of the soul of Johan A Boman who created General Snus in 1866 as reinterpreted by a comparable genius in his own craft today. This man is Chef Magnus Nilsson at Fäviken Magasinet.....
This year there have been a rash of WikiLeaks-style unofficial snus product information leaks. Some have appeared on Instagram but some are from inside sources. Swedish Match has suffered the worst and is yet to plug the internal leaker.
The upcoming launch of GR' Original Portion Snus, The LAB 22 and LAB 24 slim portion snuses with Zylitol, and Nick & Johnny Green Ice Slim portion are old news now although not yet on the market......
A notice on the Federal Register that indicates the Swedish Match General Snus Modified Risk Tobacco Product Application (MRTPA) will be published tomorrow.
Since accepting the General Snus application in August of last year, the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) has on several occasions asked for additional or clarifying information. These amendments will now be available for a second 30-day public comment period ending August 31.
After this comment period ends, FDA Tobacco Czar Mitch Zeller should be able to finally make a final decision on the fate of the General Snus MRTPA.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, the reports of the death of the General Snus Reduced Harm Tobacco Product (MRTP) application have been greatly exaggerated.
Friday afternoon, the anti-all-tobacco crowd and media immediately began reporting that the FDA Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (TPSAC) had "turned down" the General Snus application; that "approval was denied", that the MRTP application had been "voted down" and in the case of Matthew Myers of Tobacco Free Kids, the Swedish Match application was "poorly written" and "full of holes".
As more information about the TPSAC deliberations began to trickle out, a different picture began emerging.....
The loudest sound in the Swedish snus industry lately has been the silence. There have only been a few new products worthy of note released so far in 2015, some with little fanfare.
V2 Tobacco, makers of Thunder snus, Offroad snus, and Phantom snus will be releasing a new product in early March. They are also busy formulating five new flavors for the next Thunder Snus Limited Edition.....

By the time Roger Caron was 40 years-old, he had robbed 75 banks, spent 24 years in prison and escaped (AKA been a "Go-Boy!") a record-breaking thirteen times. During that time he lived in a system where solitary confinement, corporal punishment, electric shock therapy and experimental medical procedures were all considered a means of "rehabilitation". That he survived at all is remarkable. That he taught himself to write behind bars is extraordinary. That he went on to win Canada's prestigious Governor General's Award, is unbelievable.
Go-Boy!: Memories of a Life Behind Bars is the feature documentary that brings Roger's first-hand account of the brutality and depravity of prison to life. It took a lifetime of adversity for Roger Caron to learn his redemption was in the power of his words, not his guns.

You've no doubt seen the Schnitzel & Things food truck on a T-Mobile commercial without even realizing it. And little did you know that your subconscious spotting of it made us thisclose, because the schnitzel truck is one of my favourite lunch spots and one of my favourite things about New York City right now.
The menu is concise: a few kinds of breaded and fried meats, a burger, a sausage, a handful of sides. The line from the truck's window can be a half-hour long, and it's not cheap by street food standards–$8 for a sandwich and $10 for a platter with two sides–but the food is huge, comforting, and delicious.
The first time my co-workers and I stopped by the truck for lunch, I got the last pork schnitzel they had, and boy, was I the object of hatred around the office after that. The chicken schnitzel everyone else got was fine and all, but the pork is ten times as flavorful. I chose the chickpea salad and the beets and feta salad for my sides only because they were out of french fries and potato salad (yeah, so I wanted to get two potato-based sides; suck it), but I wasn't disappointed in the end. The flavor of the feta was overpowered by the beets, but beets really can't help themselves. Plus, I was just excited to get something even mildly nutritious from a street cart.
There are several condiments for your sandwich or platter that range from the standard ketchup and mustard to the pesto mayo, which I highly recommend.
If you want to get an idea of how big a schnitzel is, here's my co-worker Anthony holding one up. And he does not have a small head, letmetellyou.
If you're into burgers, the Schnitz Burger is for you. It's breaded, fried beef, folks. And while mine was a tad on the dry side, I'm willing to overlook that for the breading and the delicious crunchy-on-the-outside-pillowy-on-the-inside roll it comes on.
Don't ask me whose fingers those are in my panna cotta. There are usually a couple of dessert choices, but the Tahitian vanilla is the standby. It's not a blow-your-mind kind of dessert, but it's light and refreshing, and it's the sort of palate cleanser a sweets freak like me needs after every meal.
The service from the Schnitzel & Things truck is friendly and familiar, as if they see you every day despite their being parked in different locations around the city throughout the week (which they tweet daily). They even have a call-ahead number (347-772-7341) so you don't have to brave too much of the cold for your schnitzel fix. But if you choose to stand in line, you'll feel mighty special, because every single person who passes wonders why they didn't know about the truck and stops to look at the menu.
Thanks to Midtown Lunch for finding the T-Mobile commercial.
WHY OH WHY can't we have things like this in Shreveport?!?!
Someone told me there's a mac & cheese truck in L.A. and not NYC, so it's tough all over.
Besides, you guys are too busy eating crawdad heads and king cakes down there. WHICH, by the way, I just received two of in the mail today and will be blogging about soon. King cakes, I mean. Not seafood heads.
WANT (Schnitz Burger with Pesto Mayo!)
The ladies of Lunch with Front Studio asked me on Foodspotting.com today if the Schnitz Burger is "worth it". AS IF YOU NEED TO ASK.
Okay Okay! We get it!!! It's a must try!! They don't come anywhere near our office though, so once it's warm enough to eat outside…
Haha! It's worth the snow, but I guuuuuuuess I'll let you off the hook until spring.

(A rare paparazzi shot, catching vintage badasses Denise and Ron (circa 1990) arriving "on the scene.")
I read a blurb recently about a study conducted on a group of "truly happy" people to find what–if anything–they had in common. The study found that those surveyed only shared one trait: the strength of their social relationships. I'm not exactly sure how "truly happy" is measured and what metrics would actually reveal that, but I found it fascinating nonetheless. And in thinking about it for a while, I took great comfort in the relationships I share with my friends and family–and, of course, the crown jewel of them all–my relationship with Ken.
Stumbling across this article was "interesting" timing. (I've said before I'm not sure I believe in coincidence anymore since Ken's death.) One of my oldest and dearest friends, Denise, was in Chicago for business this week. After coordinating schedules I was excited that she extended her trip by a day so we she could crash at my place and we could spend some time together, drink some wine and catch up. She and our mutual (and supremely lovely) friend Nick traveled to town last year to attend Ken's soiree. Though they had no expectation of spending time with me, it meant more than I could ever put into words to have these two iconic friends take the time to travel so far to love and support me, and to honor Ken. But in terms of the study I mentioned earlier, it goes a long way in demonstrating the web of social relationships I'm lucky enough to have that form an intricate lattice that has caught me every single time I've fallen–not matter how hard.
Though we're both far too young for this be true, I met Denise twenty-two years ago as I was finishing up at Purdue University. I'd only recently come out then and met her through Nick (our mutual friend who we harassed via text after a couple of glasses of wine last night.)
When I left to Lafayette to move to Chicago, Denise moved to northern California. In subsequent years as I moved to southern California with Ken, she moved to Texas. Like many of my friendships, no matter how long it's been since we've talked or instant messaged or emailed or iChatted, it's effortless to pick up where we left off. And it's always been that way.
Denise was a constant dancing partner of mine during the early 90's. From Depeche Mode to B-52's to New Order to REM. We frequented the local club and tore up the dance floor week after week after week, culminating in–wait for it–a choreographed dance to a popular song of the day. The freedom of dancing was almost drug-like in its sweaty, gyrating satisfaction. But the unity I felt as our song would start and we would casually bust out our coordinated moves, impressing the onlookers week after week made me feel a part of something important–and more importantly, a part of…something. And as much as fun as that was, I think back to being at her apartment and working for HOURS to create the dance. That was, for me, the most fun memory of our concerted effort.
So much of what makes Denise and my friendship special is unspoken. It's just the way it work works for us. Over the years I've wondered if she truly understands how impressive she was/is to me and what a powerful impact our friendship has made on my life. I reminded her during our visit together last night of something she once told me: feelings aren't right or wrong; they just "are." Those words made a big impression upon me, and served me well through all of my subsequent friendships, in falling in love with Ken, and most certainly in learning of his cancer's return and in coping with his death.
We haven't lived in the same city with daily access to each for twenty-some years, but when we're together, it's impossible to forget the power and excitement the future held for me then, and what it can still hold for me now. Denise and Ken met in 2007 when she traveled to Chicago for a couple of days before she and I returned to Lafayette to visit with Nick and our old friends there. I remember being excited for them to meet and how effortless it was to conjoin these seemingly disparate parts of my life.
I've never been overtly social. I don't know how or why it works, but for the most part I've always been attracted to people who prove to be long-term friends. I think friendship is something that is organic and comes easily. As I still struggle to find equilibrium and continue to figure out what my new "normal" is, I take great comfort in the friendships I've made and how they offer me a sometimes greatly needed center-of-gravity.
Some things never change.

Xi Jinping: Man for all factions is tip for top
Related topics
Xi Jinping , a so-called princeling whose father was a Communist revolutionary, is now the man who would be king. Mr Xi is trusted by president and Communist Party general secretary Hu Jintao even though his privileged background might seem to put him at odds with the leader. But he also has ties to former party chief and president Jiang Zemin of the 'Shanghai Gang' of current and former leaders from the city, which has at times clashed with the present leadership.
Because of his links to both camps, Mr Xi, 54, was seen as the ideal compromise candidate for Shanghai party secretary, a post he took in March after his predecessor was sacked for corruption. His unique position makes him acceptable to both sides for higher office as well, though Mr Hu is not believed to see him as his preferred successor.
His famous father, Xi Zhongxun , was an ally of paramount leader Deng Xiaoping . The elder Xi is said to have stood by Hu Yaobang , the former party chief forced to step down in 1987 for supporting pro-democracy protests by students the previous year.
In a carefully orchestrated campaign in the weeks before the congress, state media lavished praise on the younger Xi, who could be the prime candidate to replace Mr Hu after he steps down in 2012. A front-page story in the party mouthpiece, People's Daily, was headlined: 'Glad to Hear Good Tidings from Shanghai'.
Mr Xi was considered a shoo-in to become a member of the party's Politburo but was originally a dark horse for its standing committee, before rising to the top of the list in the days before the congress. Television footage of Mr Xi trailing closely on the heels of Mr Hu while he was visiting Shanghai for the Special Olympics this month was taken as a hint of things to come.
Mr Xi remains largely a mystery to common Shanghai people, and many resented an 'outsider' taking over the city. Since he assumed the job seven months ago, he has kept a low profile and remains in the shadow of his famous wife and his late father, who served as a vice-premier.
Mr Xi's wife, folk singer Peng Liyuan , commands the spotlight. She is known for her roles in revolutionary operas and renditions of patriotic songs, such as On the Land of Hope, which were popular in the 1980s. A soprano, she has appeared at galas to mark the anniversaries of the founding of the army and the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty.
The couple are believed to have a teenage daughter.
One foreign government official who has met Mr Xi described him as 'poker-faced', with a public persona that reveals little emotion.
Caution is normal political behaviour on the mainland, especially for an official whose star is on the rise. His behaviour is understandable following a corruption scandal which unseated his predecessor as Shanghai party secretary, Chen Liangyu , for embezzling from the city's pension fund.
Since coming to Shanghai, he has stressed co-operation with other provinces in the Yangtze River delta, which have resented the favouritism shown the city.
Soon after arriving, he paid tribute to China's revolutionary roots by visiting the site of the First Communist Party Congress in 1921 in an event orchestrated for the television cameras.
A physically imposing man, people who have met Mr Xi describe him as courteous and comfortable with his authority. A family friend told The Times newspaper: 'He is a very neutral person who has always avoided showing any strong political opinions, neither supporting or opposing people or their policies openly. He is not someone with great charisma, neither will he cause any harm.'
One rumour making the rounds, which paints Mr Xi in a favourable light, is that he refused the house originally granted him by the Shanghai government as too big, in a deliberate move to reject luxury.
Retired Shanghai worker Qian Rongpei said: 'I don't know about Xi Jinping as he just took over the post. I only get information from the media or other people's gossip that he often meets those at the grass roots.'
Chen, Shanghai's previous party secretary, is now infamous for corruption and his 'degenerate' lifestyle. His predecessor, the late vice-premier Huang Ju , was widely disliked for putting his career before Shanghai and being a lackey of the central government.
Mr Xi is a native of Shaanxi province , where his father is said to have welcomed Mao Zedong at the end of the Long March in 1935.
Like many technocrats, he has an engineering background, having earned a chemical engineering degree from Tsinghua University, also Mr Hu's alma mater.
He held posts in rural Hebei province early in his career, before moving to high-profile jobs such as governor of the booming southern province of Fujian and most recently party secretary of Zhejiang , the centre of private enterprise on the mainland.
Governing prosperous provinces has made him business-friendly and given him experience valued in a rapidly developing China. US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who met Mr Xi, described him as 'the kind of guy who knows how to get things over the goal line'.
Li Fei , deputy director of the Taiwan research centre at Xiamen University, said Mr Xi sought to lure big Taiwanese companies to invest in Fujian.
'He is a suitable person for the political field,' Professor Li said. 'He liked to receive suggestions from experts. He was the first one in this province to set up a team of counsellors for the government.'
Mr Xi arrived in Fujian following a major corruption scandal involving smuggling kingpin Lai Changxing .
In Zhejiang, Mr Xi earned a reputation for dealing with natural disasters, like the typhoons which regularly hit the province.
'He raised the idea of 'green' development in a harmonious way long before others,' said a university professor, referring to President Hu's stress on sustainable development and social harmony.
Since arriving in Shanghai, Mr Xi has delivered a number of bland pronouncements. 'I will do my best to do more good things for Shanghai people,' he said shortly after his arrival. He said Shanghai should take a leading role in financial reforms. And he told local legislators 'lessons should be learned' from the city's corruption scandal.

Local fashion, fine but rarely groundbreaking, on stage at WCFW
Sandra Fernandes, creator of Western Canada Fashion Week, and Lynn Mandel, wife of mayor Stephen Mandel, strode to the end of the hardwood catwalk hand in hand, said a few words about Edmonton's arts scene, shed a few tears, and with a dazzle of flashes from the photo pit, the fall/winter 2012 show was off and running.
Thursday night's event at the Transalta Arts Barns opened to a packed house, many sipping from champagne flutes of a $14 signature Moët cocktail festively named the Stiletto. Models from Whyte Avenue-area shops showed off what's in season, from American Apparel's casual-chic hoodies and big, round duffel bags to Colourblind's coloured jeans, and Gravity Pope's chunky wedge shoes to Sanctuary's extreme hippie and goth styles.
Longtime Edmonton legend Stanley Carroll presented a diverse collection, ranging from big, bold colours to creamy, khaki shades, placing unexpected details on dresses such as hoods. Patience Soyege, the winner of last year's emerging designer competition, also presented a collection, this one heavy on the purples and florals.
As in previous years, the evening's highlights were the stylist competition and, more importantly, the emerging designer contest (top picture). For the stylist competition, entrants were charged with creating ensembles solely from Goodwill finds. The results were impressive: wearable, up-to-date outfits perfect for springtime, with details showing truly inspired creativity, such as a clutch with gold piping created from vintage patterned wallpaper. Jericho Cender earned top prize for pairing a brown vintage dress with a fur hat.
The emerging designer competition was dominated by international flavour, with entrants originally hailing from as far as Iran, Vietnam and Spain. Inspiration from afar showed in a bulky kimono-inspired top and watercolour-esque leggings, a tiered black skirt and short, ornate matador's jacket with an original painting on the back, and a huge, flat feathered hat with branch detailing. There were ridiculous moments as well: when asked how long he'd been designing for, entrant Vinson simply stated, "Since February." Nevertheless, his model's sheer black jacket and white dress drew some gasps from the crowd. A cream-coloured dress stole the judges' hearts – and first place, too.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people stuck around to see it. After a short intermission, the crowd seemed to filter away and when the show resumed, there were a considerable number of empty seats. It's kind of surprising considering the $25 price tag attached to them, but when one considers what that $25 really buys – the opportunity to drink overpriced cocktails and watch a few hours of mostly-local fashion that's fine, but rarely groundbreaking – maybe it's not so shocking, after all.
While Ms. Fernandes publicly scolded the CTV Edmonton hosts for calling the event "Edmonton Fashion Week," despite the rebranding of a few years ago, in many ways it still is – and that's not necessarily such a bad thing.
Western Canada Fashion Week continues to April 5. Full schedule of events here.

What steps should be taken after a motorcycle accident?
Collecting and preserving important evidence after a motorcycle accident can help prove your personal injury claim for compensation from a negligent driver. If possible, follow the tips listed below.
Photographs of the Accident Scene
At the scene of the accident, use your cell phone camera to take photographs of the scene. Take pictures of the bike as it lies on the ground and capture the point of contact between the bike and the car.
Police reports
When the police arrive at the accident scene, they will make a report. The report will include a diagram of the accident scene and contact information of any eye witnesses. The report will also include notes about the weather conditions and whether the driver received any citations.
Preserve the helmet the way it is and photograph it at the accident scene. By showing that you wore a helmet at the time of the accident, you will prove that you did not contribute to your injuries in any way and the other driver was solely responsible for the injuries.
Eye Witnesses
Eye witnesses can play a crucial role in proving your personal injury claim. Collect contact information of any eye witnesses and record their account of the accident.
Surveillance Cameras
Look around the accident scene for any surveillance cameras. If there is a business, school, or any other commercial property around, there are chances that a surveillance camera is installed outside the property. You can request a copy of the recording.
Photographs of the accident debris can also play an important role in proving your claim. Take pictures of the motorcycle parts that were broken during the impact.
Maintain a journal
Memories can fade over time, so make sure you note down everything. Write down everything that you observe at the accident, including any conversations with the other driver.
Medical Records
If you have suffered any injuries in the accident, preserve all the medical records to prove your claim. Keep a copy of your lab reports, prescriptions, diagnosis of the doctor, and test results.
Return to the Scene
Return to the accident scene as soon as possible after the accident to make a note of any changes that have been made to the scene.
