While working in my buddy's machine shop I noticed this interesting piece in his shop. When I questioned him on this, he explained what it was. Then he asked, if you could make a base for it that would be great. So off to my shop and I started thinking how could I make this look really nice for Paul. He has helped in so many ways. He taught me how to weld and helped me build an 8 inch inflatable sander or anything else I need help with.
I used some Blue Oak that I purchased from Tule Peak Timber (ex-Lumberjock Rob). I drilled the hole at 35 degrees on my drill press. Used 5 min epoxy to hold this beast in so it didn't fall out. Cpl coats of Deft. I had the plate done at the local trophy shop.
Figured all you Harley Davidson guys would like this!
All comments welcome as always. Thx for looking.

What does it Lift?
At first, I thought it might be a flag lifter (holder)...
Sure looks nicely machined, etc.

A great looking display stand. I know it is a cam lifter in a Harley bike, but what is the story behind the piece?

At first glance, it would appear that Rogers Communications Inc. and BCE Inc. have just paid more than $1-billion to buy something they already own.
Friday's deal to acquire a 75-per-cent stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Ltd. gives the country's two largest telecommunications companies something far more important to them than the prestige of owning a historic hockey franchise. They now have a lock on the regional television rights to Toronto Maple Leafs games – that's 51 hockey games a year, not to mention Toronto Raptors basketball games and matches played by Toronto FC, the city's pro soccer club.
But as the city's sports fans know, most Leafs games are already broadcast in one of two places: on Rogers-owned Sportsnet, or TSN, owned by BCE's Bell Media unit. Both networks also carry Raptors and Toronto FC games.
So why spend big? The real investment here is for the future – to prepare for an era in which sports television rights become ever more expensive. By becoming allies, the two companies that now dominate sports broadcasting in Canada have ensured their duopoly will continue in the biggest TV market in the country.
With both companies eyeing the asset, neither could afford to let it fall into the other's hands – or be sold off to another bidder. Instead, Bell and Rogers have secured their TV rights for the Leafs, which expire in 2015, and for the Raptors, whose deal is up in 2014, and ensured they will keep their hold on some of the most lucrative content on their channels.
Once the current deals are up, Rogers and Bell will split Leafs, Raptors and Toronto FC TV rights roughly 50-50, and have locked in those rights – and their price – for at least 10 years, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
"Certainty has a value to Bell shareholders because, without a doubt, we've secured TSN as a leader in sports. Until you have the arrangement, it means nothing. Once you have the arrangement, your actual risk in your other business has been decreased," BCE Inc. chief executive officer George Cope said in an interview Friday. "This ownership secures us that for periods longer than normal. We paid for that."
That's a priority for both organizations, which have formed partnerships on some ventures (such as the 2010 and 2012 Olympic Games) at the same time as they've been competing fiercely to bolster their rival sports networks.
"The transaction is all about securing long-term access to content that is phenomenally important to Canadians," Rogers CEO Nadir Mohamed said in an interview. "We've been building a tremendous brand with Sportsnet and we want to be recognized as the No. 1 media sports brand in Canada."
It also prevents the launch of a well-connected competitor. MLSE has a broadcast licence for a "specialty" cable sports channel – tentatively named Real Sports, according to sources – that could have snatched away those games once the deals with Sportsnet and TSN had expired.
Such a business model – owning a team in order to feed a television station with games – already exists widely across North America. Indeed, it's the key reason Rogers bought the Toronto Blue Jays a decade ago, an investment that has worked out better than many critics predicted it would, as the value of the baseball franchises has gone up.
Because there is a third shareholder involved in MLSE, Larry Tanenbaum, Rogers and Bell still have to pay a market price for the television rights to Leafs and Raptors games. But as the largest owners of MLSE themselves, the two companies will, in essence, be transferring most of the rights fees to themselves.
"Sports rights are going up. Sports channel fees to subscribers are going up. So Bell and Rogers are protected on that where all the other [cable and satellite providers]are going to have to eat it," said one analyst speaking on condition of anonymity.
What remains to be seen is the fate of existing channels MLSE owns: Leafs TV, which holds the rights to 12 Leafs games a year, and more games on NBA TV Canada and GOL TV.
One thing the deal does not allow the competitors to do is increase the exclusive sports content they make available to customers on their mobile phone networks. In a decision this fall, the federal broadcast regulator determined that telecom giants who also own media assets could not withhold that content on alternative platforms, and would have to make it available on commercial terms to competitors such as Telus Corp., for example.
But the real value for both is still in TV – the one type of TV that viewers, and advertisers, will still pay for.
"Live is going to be much more valuable, from a content perspective," Mr. Cope said. "…Anything that has a contest attached to it, people don't want to PVR. We saw that at the Olympics. What the Olympics value was … The PVR [personal video recorder]technology, which is great for us in our [satellite]TV business, is not necessarily great, obviously, in the advertising business. We're starting to say, okay, where is the value? … Live content is going to matter."

Straddling a land that has Bill Monroe and Townes Van Zandt on one side and Jerry Garcia and Bob Dylan on the other, Smooth Kentucky's sound is a trip through the spirit of American music. They have a bluegrass soul, but play with a rock 'n' roll heart.
Guitarist/ singer Ed Hough is that soul and heart. As guitarist Cris Jacobs says about his longtime musical partner, "He doesn't come from an extensive music theory background, so his writing is simple, soulful, and true to what he feels. His sound is distinctly his, because he's not trying to sound like anyone else…he doesn't have to." Hough simply says, "Well its bluegrass, but we got some kind of funky Americana undertones."
Smooth Kentucky formed in 2003 when a friend asked Jacobs, who was starting his other band The Bridge around the same time, if he could put together a bluegrass band for the Baltimore Brewing Company's Friday night bluegrass happy-hour. Jacobs reached out to his longtime musical ally, Hough. The two then recruited mandolinist B.J Lazarus to help round out the line-up. At an early gig upright-bassist Dave Freeman left his card on the table and told Hough to call him. He did, and Smooth Kentucky as a four-piece was born. They played as a four-piece for two years, during which time they released their self-titled debut album, which is a smart combination of traditional bluegrass and a more adventurous spirit that Hough says he discovered from attending, "many, many Grateful Dead shows."
Shortly after the album's release they decided they wanted to expand their line-up by adding a fiddle player. Fiddle prodigy Patrick McAvinue happened to hear the band on a local radio show. An audition was quickly arranged, but almost ended as fast as it started.
"He walked in and was baby-faced; he was in the 10th grade. We were hesitant," recalls Hough. McAvinue quickly eased Hough's worries, "All I did was hear him tune up, and I was done. Cris and I looked at each and were like 'oh my god'."
Just as the band settled into its new life as a five piece, Jacobs had to scale back his time with the band as The Bridge began to take on a larger national profile and was keeping him on the road away from Smooth Kentucky for long stretches. Hough arrived at a simple solution to this problem. He recruited Dave Giegerich (dobro) and Jordan Tice (guitar) to help fill the holes while Jacobs was away. This unusual arrangement of having three different guitarists rotating through allowed the band to be able to create a wholly unique personality. While at its core Smooth Kentucky is built upon the steady, tasty rhythms of Hough, Freeman, and Lazarus, each show is a new adventure as they play with their ever-revolving cast of guitarists, which allows each night to provide a different interpretation of their arsenal.
Their new album, A Few More Miles, released in June of this year, is a testament to that ever evolving line-up and the band's deep widely-branched roots. It is this simple, but constantly changing muse that Hough follows.
"The main goal for me is to provide the listener with something that's not so expected, but still remaining true to our overall sound," Hough states. "It is always the element of surprise that keeps me coming back for more. Hopefully with this new release people will be surprised and want more as well."
A Few More Miles is a journey through the joys of rural American music; it explores the backwoods and the front porch, even taking a turn to visit a finger-pickin' good version of Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me," all the while soothing your soul with the sounds of a tall glass of whiskey in hand and the sun shining on your face.

PARIS, Nov 29 (Reuters) - French cooperative lender BPCE sees retail banking revenue growing by less than 1.5 percent a year from 2017 to 2020 and aims to win 630,000 core clients by investing in online services, a document showed on Wednesday.
France's second-biggest retail bank, which owns investment bank Natixis, is betting on higher fee income and cost cuts to boost returns at a time when low interest rates hurt margins, according to the document showed to journalists.
Overall, it is seeking to boost revenue for the group to more than 25 billion euros by 2020, from 24 billion in 2016.
Around 70 percent of its revenue comes from retail and insurance business, 14 percent from asset and wealth management and the rest from corporate and investment banking. (Reporting by Maya Nikolaeva; Editing by Edmund Blair)

Program evaluation
From Wilderdom
- Program evaluation in outdoor education, adventure education, & other experiential intervention programs
Starting points
- Why program evaluation - it has become increasingly important for outdoor and experiential education organizations to demonstrate clear evidence of effectiveness...
- Tools, instruments, & questionnaires - a list and details of instruments recommended for use in outdoor and experiential education program evaluations
- Needs assessment for program evaluations (.doc) - to get underway, if you complete this, it will help to focus and plan your program evaluation efforts
- Why use effect sizes instead of significance testing for program evaluation? - Effect sizes are underutilised in program evaluation; significance testing is overutiliszed
- Example evaluations - downloadable examples of outdoor education program evaluation reports by James Neill
- Resources program evaluation references
Why program evaluation?
It has become increasingly important for outdoor and experiential education organisations to demonstrate effectiveness in achieving stated objectives. Exploring and examining program achievement of goals is commonly referred to as "program evaluation".
Conducting program evaluation does not guarantee the quality of a program, but high quality programs are more likely to be engaged in program evaluation.
Systemtically assessing achievement of program goals might be motivated by necessity (you have to) or morality (because you want to and it's good to) - or anywhere inbetween.
- Necessity - Because you have to!
State, federal and even private funding for intervention programs increasingly requires rigorous program evaluations to be conducted. Thus, conducting program evaluations is becoming a necessity for many programs.
- Morality - Because you want to and it's good to!
There is also a moral argument that it is an ethical responsibility of those who design and conduct intervention programs to be rigorous in ensuring the best possible experiences are provided for participants. Just as with safety, for which an outdoor organization is expected to provide best-practice risk management, there is a responsibility for facilitating high quality psycho-educational experiences for participants. Conducting systematic program evaluation and engaging in peer-reviewed research evaluation can help to better understand the program processes, participant experiences and outcomes for both internal feedback and external sharing and reviewing.
- Other motives
Several other motivations for research and evaluation could exist (e.g., see 7 stage hierarchy), but necessity (external motivation) and morality (internal motivation) represent two ends of a motivational spectrum for efforts (and non-efforts) to utilise program evaluation.
Common practices in program evaluation

The Museum
Since the earliest days of civilization, man has been fascinated with the concept of capturing movement. From prehistoric cave drawings based on light and shadow, to the digital age of cinema, the desire to capture, manipulate, and reproduce images and movement has been widespread. The progression of science and the art of entertainment have always run side by side, ultimately culminating with the birth of the motion picture film.
The Dubai Moving Image Museum showcases this progression, exhibiting the development of visual entertainment from its inception to the birth of modern-day cinema. The Dubai Moving Image Museum, one of only a handful of museums in the world focusing on the history of the moving image, is the first and only one of its kind in the Middle East.
The Location
MCN Hive Building, 1st Floor, TECOM C, Dubai.
Nearby Ramee Rose Hotel.
Located just minutes away from the Internet City Metro station and directly off Sheikh Zayed Road. Near all major roads and close to Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Marina, The Greens, and Ibn Batuta Mall.
The Collection
Housing the private collection of Mr. Akram Miknas, which he has accumulated over twenty-five years, the Dubai Moving Image Museum was born out of Mr. Miknas' wish to share his collection with the public, hoping to inspire and educate the region with an exciting part of history. All items in the museum are original, dating back from the 1730s to the twentieth century.
The museum is unique not only in its subject matter and location, but in the overall experience. The Moving Image Museum in Dubai features numerous interactive aspects, allowing for guests of all ages to fully experience the rich history of the moving image by viewing and playing with objects such as peeping into an eighteenth century Dutch peepbox viewer, or turning the reel of an early twentieth century mutoscope to see the flicker effect!
Among the first expressions of imagery was the use of shadow.
The artistic use of shadow in storytelling was developed in ancient China during the Han dynasty and gained huge popularity throughout Asian culture. The art form later spread across the Ottoman Empire and reached Europe in the mid-18th century.

Ireland international Sean Cronin has shaken off a knee strain to claim his spot at hooker, and regular out-half Ian Keatley shifts to outside centre to replace the injured Eoin Griffin. Keatley had been a doubt due to a calf injury.
New signing Rodney Ah You will hope to make his debut for Connacht as a replacement. The 22-year-old New Zealander recently linked up the with the province, joining from Canterbury.
Meanwhile, flanker Johnny O'Connor will make his 100th appearance for Connacht this weekend. The 30-year-old flanker from Galway has been capped 12 times by Ireland and made 50 appearances for English club London Wasps before returning home in 2007.
Sunday's match will also see Connacht full-back Gavin Duffy line out against some of his former Harlequins team-mates.
Ireland international Duffy made 110 appearances for 'Quins between 2003 and 2006, winning the European Challenge Cup in 2004 thanks to a nail-biting final victory over Montferrand.
Asked whether this is a 'must win' game for his side, Connacht head coach Eric Elwood said: "We have not put that amount of pressure on the lads. I don't think if we lose we are out, but instead we are seeing it as an opportunity.
"We have a break from Magners League duty, we are going to London, playing Harlequins, it's live on Sky Sports and it's a great opportunity in a European competition to put down a marker - that is our intention.
"We are under no illusions regarding the huge challenge we face at the Stoop, both collectively as a young team and for me as a young coach.
"But it is one we are really looking forward to. We have met Harlequins a fair few times in this tournament so we know each other pretty well. It will certainly be a test for us."
CONNACHT (v Harlequins): Gavin Duffy; Brian Tuohy, Ian Keatley, Keith Matthews, Fionn Carr; Miah Nikora, Frank Murphy; Brett Wilkinson, Sean Cronin, Jamie Hagan, Michael Swift, Mike McCarthy, Andrew Browne, Johnny O'Connor, John Muldoon (capt).
Replacements: Dermot Murphy, Ronan Loughney, Rodney Ah You, Bernie Upton, Mike McComish, Cillian Willis, Aidan Wynne, Troy Nathan.

Lovely vivid shade, it stays on pretty much all day. I use several different colors from this line and for some reason, this shade along wtih the silver one has somewhat crusty consitence in compare with the pink gold version which is on more creamy side. That makes this one a bit harder to apply because it gets clumpy. Other than that I love it!

This teal color does not work as well as some of the other colors in the product line. You have to apply a couple of layers to get it to build up to what is in the pot. It also tends to move and crease after a couple of hours. My experience is you have to apply this with your finger on your eyelid. Applying it with a brush just seems to wipe it away.
I will say it did work well as an eye liner. However, I would not repurchase for this one use.

This is one of my absolute favorite shades from the Color Tattoo line. This is a gorgeous blue-toned teal with a shimmery formula and silvery glitter/shimmer. This is a semi-opaque formula...can be worn alone as a shadow or, as I like to do, wear it as a base under other shadows.
I love wearing "Tenacious Teal" over MAC's "Painterly" paint pot as my primer, with the Color Tattoo as the base, and then layering eyeshadows overtop. Teals and blues, of course, are gorgeous over this base, but purples get an interesting effect being layered on top, too.
This is one of my more often used Color Tattoo products in my collection, and I have quite a few.
This product is great as a base...intensifies shadow pigmentation, long-lasting formula, and non-creasing.
I will definitely be repurchasing this product when I run out. Excellent product! :)

Fun little colour for spring/summer days.
This is a light teal-blue with green shimmers. The staying power is awesome, lasts all day and the you get the colour you see in the pan.
I love using this under blue or green shadows, as well as MAC Blue Brown pigment. It's such a pretty combo.
Rimmel ScandalEyes Shadow Pencil Stick in Tempting Turquoise is similar.

I love this cream shadow! this is the first one of its kind that I tried and the colour teal is just a beautiful blue shade but I think it's a bit harder to pull off as a shadow because you'll need to blend it out with a couple powder shadows. on the other hand, it works great as a gel liner!

Tenacious Teal is such a great color. I use it on its own, as a base, and as a liner. Very pigmented, goes on smooth and blends well. Once it's dry, it stays put! I apply this with my finger and the color is strong with a single layer of product. Two layers of this product and it's completely opaque, the coverage is amazing. If I use a liner brush, it goes on creamy, smooth, and strong.
I've been really impressed with these Color Tattoo Cream Gel Shadows. They really do last all day, and the color they are in the jar is the same color they are on your eyelids.

Very pigmented and very pretty color. I first swatched in on my hand. Then liked life normal... washed my hands SEVERAL times, slept, showered, ect and this stuff did not come off. I used a make up wipe and it came off.
I like to use this on the bottom of my eye with a plain black winged liner on top. Gives a beautiful POP of color:D

Hands-down the most pigmented teal eyeshadow I've ever used�and that includes drugstore and high-end eyeshadows. Stays put and never fades until I need to take it off, and it's one of the Color Tattoos that I'd proudly wear without any other eyeshadows.

I only have this shade, but I think Maybelline did an awesome job on these. I am extremely prone to creasing and this lasts all day on me without a primer.
Not super opaque when you first put it on, but definitely buildable which is really nice. Very smooth and creamy even though it has a kind of silvery micro-glitter.
Such a beautiful shade of teal, leans more on the blue than green side. A great alternative to blues which can look dated in my opinion.

Professional athletes, writers, musicians and entrepreneurs have nothing on Operation Immortality's latest DNA recipient: Stephen Colbert. The star of the hit Comedy Central show The Colbert Report will have his DNA digitized and sent to the International Space Station with Richard Garriott for the wildly-popular Tabula Rasa promotion Operation Immortality.
"I am thrilled to have my DNA shot into space, as this brings me one step closer to my life-long dream of being the baby at the end of 2001," said Colbert. Garriott comments on the decision to add Colbert to the growing list of popular celebrities joining the project, "Is there a better person for us to turn to for this high-level responsibility?"
....there's always "that guy" to prove you wrong.
I'm sure they will enjoy this and the rest of their secret, Jew World Order life extension technologies.
Oh, yeah?

Thousands of sandhill cranes, snow geese and other migratory birds are making their way south.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — From nesting grounds in Alaska and Idaho to the prairie potholes in Canada, thousands of sandhill cranes, snow geese and other migratory birds are making their way south to their traditional winter watering holes in the American Southwest.
The problem is a year of drought has ravaged wetlands and crops throughout Texas and New Mexico, forcing the birds to fly off course in search of water and food.
In the Texas Panhandle, there's no standing water in any of the playas and officials at Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge haven't seen many birds. It's just as dry at Texas' oldest national refuge in Muleshoe, where 27,000 birds have moved through so far this fall.
"I don't know where our birds are going," said refuge manager Jude Smith. "It's not just the cranes, but the geese and the ducks. They had bumper crop years up in the potholes with lots of reproduction but there's nowhere for them to go."
That's why managers at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in south-central New Mexico are bracing for record numbers this fall and winter. With nearly 13,000 acres of wetlands, the refuge is one of the country's most well-known spots for observing migrating waterfowl. Thousands of people were expected to visit this week for the annual Festival of the Cranes.
The shallow ponds at Bosque del Apache and the adjacent Rio Grande shine like beacons as the weary birds look for a place to rest after their long journey.
"The birds will go where the water is first and where the food is second. They'll follow those two all the way south," said Jose Viramontes, a spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bosque del Apache is managed specifically to provide habitat and protection for migrating birds and other endangered species. When farmers upstream finish irrigating for the season, water from the Rio Grande fills the refuge's impoundments, providing a place where birds can roost overnight without having to worry about coyotes or other predators.
But Bosque del Apache wasn't completely immune from the effects of the drought. This year's corn crop that managers depend on to feed the birds throughout the winter was decimated by a lack of rain.
To keep the birds fed, the refuge plans to spread 500,000 pounds of barley donated by a Colorado brewer.
"If we didn't have that, the birds would go elsewhere, and we know that they're safe here so we prefer to keep them here," said Robyn Harrison, coordinator of the crane festival. "And honestly by the time they get here, they're not interested in flying any further for a while."
It can take up to three days for a crane to recover from its migration, she said.
That gives birdwatchers plenty of opportunities.
The autumn colors of the cottonwoods have already passed their peak, but cloudy skies have made for a week of beautiful sunrises and sunsets at Bosque del Apache.
What makes the refuge so spectacular this time of year are those early mornings. That's when the birds wake up and begin to stretch their wings and legs. A big racket ensues as they all take off in search of breakfast.
The yodeling call of the crane is distinctive and their long wings are captivating, Harrison said.
"Just a slow easy flap and they take off in large Vs. It's just an incredible sight," she said.
Harrison has been organizing the festival for the past four years and it never gets old.
At Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge near Roswell, manager Floyd Truetken said twice as many cranes have passed through the Pecos Valley this year and he suspects some of those birds changed course after finding it too dry in Texas.
While late summer rains took the edge off of what has been one of the driest and warmest years on record for New Mexico, Truetken said lake levels at the refuge are still far below normal.
Biologists at refuges around the Southwest have been busy sharing anecdotal evidence of the drought's effects on the birds' flight patterns. However, they will have to wait to model any shifts in the flyway, given that wintering populations usually peak in December and January depending on the species.

Perth Gym Cuts Workout Time From Hours To Just 20 Minutes
A "revolutionary" workout program is slashing your time at the gym from an hour to just 20 minutes – and you don't even break a sweat.
Intense Health at Applecross has launched a short duration, high-intensity resistance program using ARX FIT technology, which they say has been delivering sound results to their Perth-based clients, Seven News reports.
Intense Health trainer Adam Kirk said many people have already been training for just 20 minutes, twice a week, in what's the only exercise program of its kind in Australia.
"It's the first technology that exists, that can adapt to the user," he said.
"In the gym, you have to select 200 kilograms, or 100 kilograms."
You can watch a video of the workout below – always remember to be properly assessed by your GP before undertaking any new exercise programme.
