Smith PivLock V2 Max Sunglasses $158.95
Lock in and go.
We've come a long way since the days of the massive Oakley Eyeshade, made famous by Andy Hampsten as he triumphed over Mother Nature's frightful wrath during the 1988 Giro d'Italia. Granted, his fateful trip over the Gavia Pass couldn't have been done with much less than a full goggle like the Eyeshade. But under more palatable riding conditions, the Eyeshades fogged too easily, and weren't compatible with then-evolving helmet technology. The same necessity for maximum coverage with minimum interference still exists today in the sunglasses we wear, but luckily, our modern shield lenses have advanced a great deal since '88. The Pivlock V2 Max from Smith is one such evolutionary leap.
At first glance, the biggest difference between the new V2 and the first-generation V90, is the absence of the split arms. The V2 features slightly chunkier, albeit still fantastically lightweight (the V2 Max only adds a gram or two from the V90 Max), and expertly branded arms that create slightly better leverage when swapping out the lenses. A closer inspection reveals several other subtle design changes giving the V2 a clear advantage over its predecessor. The first is the adjustable nose piece. Rather than simply flexing, the piece has three distinct set widths, allowing you to ratchet the pads open or closed depending on how low or high you prefer your frames to fit. A small detail to be sure, but it thankfully removes a lot of the ambiguity or imbalance found in nose pieces whose pads adjust independently of each other. Smith also went with a new slide-on Megol temple tip that terminates several millimeters from the end of each arm to keep the tips gripping only the sides of your head, without hanging up on the sides of your ear. Again, a very subtle detail, but a comfort-enhancing improvement. Aside from the arms, the new V2 also boasts a dramatically different lens. Granted, it follows the same dramatic horizontal sweep and tight pantoscopic angle of the V90, but the old lens' soft lines are now significantly more aggressive and angular. This ensures maximum coverage in both sizes of the V2, a better overall helmet fit, and an even wider peripheral range. Plus, it's hard to deny how it also looks exponentially more awesome.
The lens on the Pivlock V90 series is what Smith calls their Carbonic TLT. The TLT stands for Tapered Lens Technology, and this means that the thickness of the lens tapers from the optical center to the edges. This thinning allows for less refraction, and therefore less distortion for the light waves passing through the lens. To mitigate any additional lens distortion while being worn, the frame arms are extra flexible to prevent the shield lens from flexing outward and changing the optical quality. The Carbonic lens houses a deep 8-base curvature to hug your face and protect it from impact. This is a great thing to know when you think about the myriad of projectiles that could threaten your eyes on a bike ride -- gravel from car tires, tree limbs, or wayward insects on a mach 3 descent. They exceed ANSI Z80.3 specifications, and they protect your eyes from 100% of the UVA, UVB, and UVC rays.
The entire sunglass is essentially three separate pieces that effortlessly snap on to the lens. The arms quickly affix by aligning the temple slots on the lens, and vertically pivoting into specialized slots on the lens where the temple/hinge inserts and pivots into a locked position. The nose piece also snaps in with little effort. The Pivlock system is at once intuitive, quick, and secure, and thankfully, doesn't require a flowchart to understand. More importantly, it allows for swift lens changing without risking fingerprinted or scratched lenses. Standard for Smith Optics, the V2 is constructed from a tough Grilamid TR90 frame for maximum comfort, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion or fading from sweat and sunscreen. And the hydrophilic Megol nose and temple pads keep the frame confidently locked in place on your face, even as you traverse rough cobblestone sectors or jarring downhill trails at high speeds.
The Smith Pivlock V2 Max is available in Black, Blue, Orange, or White. Each frame ships with the standard Platinum lens for maximum glare reduction on really sunny rides. You'll also get two extra lenses: an Ignitor lens which increases definition and depth perception in low light or on overcast days, and a Clear lens for night riding or in exceptionally bad weather. If you'd like to ride with a larger lens (sold separately), the lenses are all interchangeable with the arms and nose pad from the current-generation Pivlock V2, as the only difference between the two is the lens size -- not the attachment points. The Pivlock V2 Max offers extra-large coverage (not unlike Oakley's Radar "Range" lens), and a highly flexible medium fit in terms of temple sizing.
- Includes three colors of super-durable, crystal-clear Carbonic TLT lenses
- Evolve frame material is over 53% bio-based, created from renewable castor beans
- Hydroleophobic lens coating repels moisture, grease, and grime
- Three-position adjustable nose pads gets the fit to fit your face
- Megol temple and nose pads give you a no-slip fit, even when you're pouring sweat

These things are the best. With an adjustable nosepiece, the extra-wide coverage of the max lenses blocks out wind during descents and tends not to fog when stopped. In Seattle keeping rain out is important and these do a great job plus the water that does accumulate actually beads in such a way that it doesn't impede your vision as much as others do. They come in a sturdy storage case that's bounced around my car and race bag with no trouble. Highly recommend!

I needed some quality sunnies to keep the wind & sun out of my eyes. Sunnies that could use an adaptor for my prescription lenses. I found the perfect answer! V2 Max does accept the Smith OSD2 prescription lens adaptor. These work great and is money well spent. Thank you C Cyclist.

I was super psyched to get these after reading the great reviews & I wanted to like them? if they would just stay on my face. The lenses & changeability were great, but I'm a bit of a heavy sweater and as soon as my face got sweaty the glasses would start falling off. I even tried putting an Oakley nosepiece on which helped a bit, but in the end the combination of the adjustable nosepiece & wideish side arms just didn't cut it. Can't go wrong with my Oakley Radar XL's.
Good product, strange color.

I have a pair of the pivlock V2 frames in white and they are great. I wear them when I ride and sometimes on a run. I bought the acid yellow frames and was disappointed when I opened them. The color was more of a chartreuse, rather than the bright yellow shown in the picture.
Top notch riding optics
Andrew McKee
Member since
I've used these for a season of riding, and they come out any time I'm not using my full face helmet. The lenses are easy to swap in and out, but the most impressive part is how lightweight the whole package is. You can barely feel them on your face, yet the lens covers about 98% of your peripheral vision. Come to think of it, maybe that's why you can forget you are wearing them.... Anyway, they never seem to fog up, even in slow climbing situations under a hot sun, but my helmet will drip sweat on them from time to time. For "ENDRURO!!" riding, these are a great bet, as even when you are following some chargers down a dusty trail, you'll be able to see about as well as you can with goggles.
Smith PivLock V2 Max BEST SUNNIES!!!

I have been riding with Smith PivLock V2 Max's for two years now, and they are by far the best sunglasses I have ever used. The interchangable lenses are very simple to change in and out. I have never broken a pair which makes these sunnies that much better. The sizing for the V2 MAX is not over whelming for my face (normal size head), it has good coverage and protects the eye's perfect.
Perfect biking shades

These are perfect biking shades for so many reasons. They have awesome coverage without any blind spots,(super important), adjustable nose piece for optimal fit, 3 lens shades for perfect coverage no matter the light conditions, and installation of lenses is a snap, it literally takes less than a minute to change out lenses. I own mostly Smith brand eyewear and helmets as their customer service/warranty is unmatched, product quality is top-notch, and price point beats Oakley and other competitive brands. Get these, you will not be disappointed!

Yes the ODS2-RX comes with 2 nose pads (for the V90 and the V2) so it is compatible with both.

PivLocks give you a great peripheral view. They are PERFECT for biking because they really don't blind spots like a lot of glasses.
One issue is changing the lens. If you wrench the lens too much in the wrong direction while swapping them out it will break the frame.
They come with three lenses so you have no excuse for getting junk in your eyes at night or during the day.
Great for cycling
Member since

This is a shield for your eyes. Not having a rim at the top or bottom is really key in cycling eye wear. You can forget these things are on, they're that good. Great sun blockage, great wind blockage, unlimited field of view. Get'em!
Stellar performance

I often wear more casual sunglasses that are decent for athletic endeavors because, well, I think I look cooler. However, now when it comes time to go for a real ride, you can't deny the performance of some top of the line V2 shades. I really enjoy the orange lenses for busting in and out of shade and sun, but the simple clear lense absolutely kills it later in the evening or a stormy day.
Swapping lenses is very straightforward and quick. They're light, good coverage (no eye watering) and I forget that I have them on...until my sweaty head starts dripping onto them. They can't help with that! The adjustable nose piece also helps dial the fit to your face.
Smith PivLock V2 Max Great Coverage
Rob Wykoff
Member since
I've been using the Smith PivLock V2 Max for about a year now and they are great for mountain and road biking. I like the extra coverage that the "Max" version provides compared to the regular V2 and the adjustable nosepiece is a great feature to allow the perfect fit for a number of faces.
Fantastic glasses for Kilimanjaro!

These are my favourite sunnies. I often forget I am wearing them. That's usually the defining point for me. Full vision coverage, and sharp lens to look through. Great colour options available too. Stand up well to a flogging too!
Great field of view

I have used Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ and Asian Fit Jawbones extensively. I switched to the PivLock V2 Max for the frameless design. The field of view is significantly improved when in the drops while cycling. The lack of a top frame makes looking up the road much easier when your head is down. The light weight design is effectively unnoticeable when running. Fit is excellent and comparable/better than Asian Fit Oakley's. Optics are extremely crisp and changing lenses is easy. I'm a little concerned about the durability of the securing mechanism for the temples to the lenses in that I suppose they could wear out if you change lenses very frequently, but I have not experienced any problems so far. I am extremely satisfied with these sunglasses.
just what the doctor ordered

I use these glasses mostly for running due to their very sporty shape. For a girl, I have a large face and noggin, but these glasses stay on my face for all my runs even with the sweat factor. I love the interchangeable lenses, super easy to change. Adjustable nose piece makes the custom fit. They do fog up on super cold days when you stop, but defog relatively quickly. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase!
worth it !! worth the price !
Member since
- Gender: Female
I've used them through out the day, to see how the shadowing darkness / protection works. excellent direct sun blockage ! eyes could totally relax. vision light stays stable throughout the day/ light changes. still great on the cloudy days and pulls up the shadows enhancing your depth perception and eliminating flatness. Great fit ! NO SLIPAGE !! which is great for I have a small face & hate a lens that moves or slips. I like the look, so I don't know why everyone is such a princess about it anyways, for I think performance quality outweighs fashion any day ! & I'm a girl !
Sent them back

Phenomenal optics (as usual for Smith), great fit, nice shades, but just too futuristic/over the top for me. I sent them back and went with a pair of Oakley Split Jackets. Five-star shades if you like the look and can pull it off.

What happened?
London was a busy city in 1666. It was very crowded. The streets were narrow and dusty. The houses were made of wood and very close together. Inside their homes, people used candles for light and cooked on open fires. A fire could easily get out of control. In those days there were no fire engines or firemen to stop a fire from spreading.
The fire began on early Sunday morning on the 2nd of September. It started in Pudding Lane in the shop of the king's baker, Thomas Farrinor. When Thomas went to bed, he did not put out the fire that heated his oven. Sparks from the oven fell onto some dry flour sacks and they caught fire. The flames spread through the house, down Pudding Lane and into the nearby streets.
Soon London was filled with smoke. The sky was red with huge flames from the fire. By Monday, 300 houses had burned down.
Everybody was in a panic. People loaded their things onto carts and tried to leave town. Others tried to get away on boats on the river. Some people buried their things in the garden, hoping to save them from the fire.
The fire still spread, helped by a strong wind from the east. London Bridge and St Paul's Cathedral were both burnt. On Tuesday, King Charles II ordered that houses and shops be pulled down to stop the fire from spreading. By Wednesday, they had the fire under control. But by then, 100,000 people were homeless.
- Can you find the name of the king's baker?
- How many fireplaces and ovens did he have?
- How much tax did the baker have to pay? (Clue: number of hearths and ovens x 1 shilling)
- How many different jobs can you find on the list? Name them.
- How many men had houses on the list?
- How many women had houses on the list?
- How many houses were empty?

- Who did Charles ask to make a plan of London?
- Why did Charles want a map showing London after the fire?
- What did Charles feel about the fire?
2. After the fire, King Charles II wanted a new map of London.
- Can you find the following places on the map?
- River Thames
- Tower of London
- St Paul's Cathedral (Clue: from above it looks like a cross, not a dome)
- Pudding Lane (Clue: north of the river, near the bridge)
- Why are there not many buildings shown in the white middle part of the map?
- Ask your teacher for a map of London today. Try and spot the differences with Hollar's map of London.
3. Wenceslaus Hollar drew this map.
- There are a lot of halls. These were meeting places for different kinds of craftsmen. For example, number 130 is the Carpenter's Hall. Can you find any more? In pairs, talk about what people had to do in these jobs. (Your teacher will help you with the unusual ones.)
- Try and find some new jobs listed here in the key that were not listed in source 1 (for example: 124. weavers).
- How many houses in the city were destroyed by the fire?
- How many churches were burnt?
4. On the corner of his map, Hollar put some information. It is a list of places that are numbered on the map. This is called a key.
- How did Charles plan to stop fires spreading in London? (Clue: There are five different ideas in this source.) How would each of these plans help to stop a fire from spreading?

Taliban peace talks flounder as troops draw downThe Associated Press | February 04,2013AP PHOTO
Afghan President Hamid Karzai turns around after reviewing the guard of honor during the first day of Eid Al Adha celebrations at the presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan. As the clock ticks toward 2014 and the final withdrawal of NATO and U.S. troops, peace talks with the Taliban are floundering even as the Taliban are showing some hopeful signs, attending international conferences and issuing a statement from their reclusive one-eyed leader with a surprise offer to share power in Afghanistan.KABUL, Afghanistan The Afghan peace effort is floundering, fraught with mistrust and confusion among key players even though the hard-line Taliban militants show signs of softening and their reclusive, one-eyed leader made a surprise offer to share power in a post-war Afghanistan.
The U.S. and its allies hope the peace process, which began nearly two years ago, will gain traction before most international forces withdraw from the country in fewer than 23 months. But although the Taliban appear more ready to talk than ever before, peace talks remain elusive because of infighting among a rising number of interlocutors all trying to get some kind of negotiations started.
Members of the Taliban are in contact with representatives from 30 to 40 different countries, according to senior U.S., Afghan and other officials The Associated Press interviewed in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Moreover, the relationship among the key players the U.S., Afghanistan and Pakistan is marked by distrust that keeps tugging momentum away from the peace process.
Many of the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the sensitive contacts with the Taliban.
Finding a path to the negotiating table will be a topic when Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan President Asif Zardari hold a series of meetings beginning today with British Prime Minister David Cameron. The meetings in London come amid fresh tensions between Kabul and its western allies.
Karzai recently warned the West not to use peace talks as a lever against his government. As well, both Kabul and Washington are frustrated that Pakistan is not monitoring the whereabouts and activities of Taliban prisoners it released in recent months. Miffed by the criticism, Pakistan says it freed the prisoners at the request of the Afghan government and doesnt have the resources to keep tabs on them.
No one in either Pakistan or Afghanistan seems to know where the dozens of released prisoners have gone. Last week, the Taliban issued a statement by freed former Taliban Justice Minister Mullah Nooruddin Turabi on behalf of all the prisoners an indication that at least some might have rejoined the ranks of the insurgency.
There were no preconditions to their release and we are getting criticism from our own people inside Afghanistan about that and it is valid criticism, said Ismail Qasemyar, a senior member of the Afghan High Peace Council.
The peace council, which Karzai set up to carry out peace negotiations, handed Pakistan the list of prisoners, including Turabi, that it wanted freed. They have also asked for the release of the Talibans former second in command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, but Washington has urged Pakistan not to release him, U.S. and Afghan officials said.
For its part, the United States has tried to accelerate the peace process by working with Britain, Norway and Germany to reach out to the Taliban, said a senior Western diplomat familiar with the negotiations. Both France and Tokyo have hosted meetings that have been attended by Afghan officials, opposition leaders and the Taliban, although the Taliban insist their participation should not be misinterpreted as negotiations.
One senior U.S. official said the process is so nascent and egos so fragile that its like negotiating a minefield. A European diplomat told the AP that there are so many backdoor talks going on that its hard to keep track of who is talking to whom.
This week, Karzai said he wanted an end to all these talks. Speaking at a water management conference in the Afghan capital, Karzai expressed suspicion that the peace process was being hijacked by the West to strengthen his opponents and undermine his government.
Karzais spokesman, Aimal Faizi, told The AP in an interview on the sprawling palace grounds in Kabul that the president was frustrated by what he perceives are attempts by his political opponents and the West, including the United States, to use the peace process to lay the groundwork for a post-2014 Afghanistan led by those hand-picked by them.
This latest flap between Karzai and the West could halt or at least delay the official opening of a Taliban office in the Middle Eastern state of Qatar. The office is intended to give the Taliban an address from which they can conduct peace talks. Faizi said Karzai supports the office in principle, with some conditions.
This office should be used only as an address for talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, Faizi said. This office should not be used for any other purpose.
Faizi also said the president wants the Taliban to publicly announce that they will negotiate peace only with the Afghan High Peace Council. So far, the Taliban have resisted, although officials close to the president say privately that they appear to be softening their hard-line stance.
Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, seemed uncompromising when he spoke to The AP.
There is no change in the policy of the Islamic Emirate of not talking to the Karzai government, he said The Karzai regime is powerless and installed by others. Real parties to the conflict are those who have committed aggression.
But still the Taliban have shown signs of moderating their positions in recent months.
According to several Western officials, who are involved or knowledgeable about the process, the most telling sign of flexibility came in a statement issued late last year by Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. In the statement marking the Islamic holy holiday of Eid al-Adha, Omar for the first time offered to share power. He also said he had no interest in starting a civil war.
As to the future political destiny of the country, I would like to repeat that we are neither thinking of monopolizing power nor intend to spark off domestic war, he said.
While still firm on his demand for Sharia or Islamic law, in Afghanistan, the Taliban leader, who rarely speaks and has a $10 million bounty on his head, did seem to take a few steps back from the harsh and regressive edicts and interpretations of Islamic law that characterized the Talibans five-year rule. Many of those edicts were directed at women, denying them education and the right to work. He also seemed to extend an olive branch to Afghanistans other ethnic groups.
We will guarantee rights of both male and female of the country, build economic structures and strengthen social foundations and facilities of education for all people of the country, he said.
But Omars flexibility only went so far. He still insisted on an Islamic education system. While the West has been pressing for secular education, many of Afghanistans current leaders support a Quran-based education system.
A senior member of the High Peace Council, who met with Taliban on the sidelines of the two conferences in France and Tokyo, said they also vowed to make child marriages illegal and outlaw a common practice among ethnic Pashtuns to use their daughters as barter to settle disputes.MORE IN Wire NewsCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

Mableton Mom Accused of Starving Mentally Challenged Daughter Granted Bond - South Cobb Patch
The 35-year-old Mableton woman accused of starving her mentally challenged daughter to death has been granted bond in the amount of $75,000 by a Cobb County Magistrate Court Judge, the Marietta Daily Journal reported.
Ebony Berry's attorney argued that she was entitled to a bond hearing because she'd been in Cobb County Jail without bond for 90 days and had yet to be indicted.
Cobb County police arrested Berry in June and charged her with first-degree child cruelty and murder after they discovered the severely malnourished body of her 16-year-old daughter Markea Blakely-Berry. .
- Sandy Springs Patch
From Sandy Springs Police Capt. Steve Rose
On Sept. 18, cops met a woman at Regions Bank on Roswell Road. She said the following: She met a man online at "Christian Mingle" and has been speaking to him since June. They eventually moved their communications to Facebook and then to the Yahoo Messenger and then to the telephone. The man said his name is Jackson Hutchinson. There was never a face-to-face meeting.
The woman believed they fell in love and he wanted to marry her. During this time, he established himself as a traveling salesman and at one point, asked her to help with some suppliers from other countries.
He transferred $20,000 to her account. He instructed her to send, via Western Union, $4,500 to a separate person. She went to the Publix and obtained multiple money orders totaling $4,500 and placed the order. She then went to her bank to verify the funds and found that they were not available. She thought that was suspicious and went to the Western Union and cancelled the order. They gave her WU checks totaling the amount. She deposited those checks to her account. She has since called Jackson Hutchinson to inquire why the funds were not valid.
Chick-fil-A Executive Denies 'Concessions' - Smyrna-Vinings Patch
The Chick-fil-A controversy continues, with company President Dan Cathy speaking out on recent events that led some to believe that the company was backing off its stance on marriage.
According to the Huffington Post, on Sept. 21, Cathy issued a statement on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's website denying these reports, claiming the company has made no "concessions" to gay marriage supporters.
"There continues to be erroneous implications in the media that Chick-fil-A changed our practices and priorities in order to obtain permission for a new restaurant in Chicago. That is incorrect. Chick-fil-A made no such concessions, and we remain true to who we are and who we have been," Cathy's statement said. .
Motorist Extricated After Car Goes Under Tractor-Trailer - Dacula Patch
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that a motorist was trapped in a vehicle at the scene of a Thursday morning accident on Highway 316 near Hurricane Trail Road.
The AJC initially reported that at least one person was killed. At approximately 8:15 a.m., @AJC tweeted an update:
"Update: Motorist under tractor-trailer still alive. Firefighters trying to cut him out of car."
Gwinnett County Police public information officer Cpl. Jake Smith confirmed that information in an email to Dacula Patch.
"This accident is not a fatal at this time," Smith wrote. "It was a two vehicle accident: tractor trailer vs. passenger car. The passenger car went under the trailer. The driver was injured and trapped, but has since been removed and transported to the hospital."
The accident happened shortly before 7 a.m., according to the AJC.

Bologna v Lazio: Preview
Bologna midfielder Panagiotis Kone is hoping victory over Lazio will provide the struggling Rossoblu with a pre-Christmas boost tomorrow night.
The visitors from Rome may be chasing a Champions League place but Bologna's ambitions are currently limited to pulling away from 16th place and out of sight of the Serie A relegation zone.
Two wins from three league games have stabilised a very poor start to the season for Stefano Pioli's men, but with a daunting trip to Napoli in the Coppa Italia just around the corner, Kone is urging his team-mates to earn a morale-boosting win tomorrow.
The Greece international told bolognafc.it: ``We have proved we don't deserve to be where we are in the league and getting something from Lazio is extremely important if we are to stay on the right path.
``We want to be Bologna side that we were against Atalanta (in a 2-1 win). We are searching for continuity in our results.
``Between now and Christmas we have four games in 16 days and we will be working very hard to finish this half of the season in the best possible way.''
The Rossoblu are without suspended striker Manolo Gabbiadini in their bid to register back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Roberto Acquafresca, Cesare Natali and Gianluca Curci are all injured but Archimede Morleo returns to contention after serving a ban.
Lazio defender Stefan Radu was a surprise goalscorer in a 4-1 Europa League victory at Maribor this week, but the Romanian wants the Biancocelesti to secure their role in Europe's premier tournament for next season.
He told La Repubblica: ``I've waited five years to score a goal for Lazio.
``We have to give our all to win and tighten our grip on a Champions League place. Then there's Inter and Siena (in the Coppa Italia) - we want to do well in all three competitions.''

Guild's main memory of Takhli is "being tired all the time."
Behind the wild-bunch reputation, the Thud crews were a pretty serious lot. "I tried not to think big thoughts in those days," says Cooper, "but I really wondered whether I'd see my kids again." He also worried about the prisoners of war. "A bunch of good buds up in that hell. I thought about that a lot." According to former POW Mike McGrath, now historian of a POW organization, of 207 fighters and fighter-bombers downed over North Vietnam, 99 were Thuds.
The Thud experience was not for everyone. "We had people, when it came to the point where they had to fly, they'd quit," says Rasimus. "One kid got shot down on his first mission, got picked up, came in when he got back, and handed in his wings."
There was good reason to fear the daily gallop into North Vietnam. "The losses were appalling," wrote Rasimus in his 2003 memoir, When Thunder Rolled. "The class of nine that had been six weeks ahead of mine at Nellis lost four. The first short-course class of 'universally assignable' pilots lost 15 out of 16, all either killed or captured…. For every five pilots that started the tour, three would not complete it."
Wrote Basel in his book: "I walk the streets and still grieve for them, and for those that did return, for all the others and for myself…. What was it all about? This magnificently orchestrated event that accomplished nothing. Casualties of this monstrous charade, we ask, For What?"
For others, the combat habit acquired in Thuds proved impossible to kick. No one was required to return to the unfriendly skies of Southeast Asia, but many did. Karl Richter flew his 100 missions out of Korat, then signed up for 100 more. Near the end of the second tour, he was killed on a run into PAK I. Several years after their first 100 missions, Rasimus, Cooper, and Guild also came back for another 100, this time in F-4 Phantoms.
Some returnees might have hoped to finish the thwarted work of Rolling Thunder. But most seem to have been drawn back to the metaphorical Balaclava by memories of the adrenaline rush, the camaraderie, the exhausting, exhilarating life spent on the edge, doing work only the brave can do.
At the same time, the Thud pilots understood that they risked everything to achieve results that were often questionable. It reminded Rasimus, who grew up in Chicago, of stealing hubcaps.
Long-time contributor Carl Posey writes from Alexandria, Virginia.

As the year winds down and I reflect on my adventures all over North America, it occurs to me that many people don't know who I am.
To be honest, I'm surprised that no one asked me point blank – and I met a lot of wonderful people. Perhaps they thought it was impolite – or they thought they should know and were reluctant to admit they didn't.
Well, I have to confess that we did start out with the idea that it might generate some mystique – or not – if we didn't tell.
If you read my first essay about my former life as a bridge player, you might have picked up on a hint or two. Perhaps not. There's also the factor that I look pretty much like I did before I took my extended break from bridge.
In any event, if you think you know who I am, send a note to the editor of the Bridge Bulletin (firstname.lastname@example.com). He will give you a month to respond, followed by a drawing among those who answer correctly.
The winner will receive a visit from Little Old Me! For those who are wondering what that entails, I pay my own way – and I don't eat a lot (but I am partial to root beer floats).
Best wishes for the holidays. See you in 2010!

With a win over St. Luke's, Spring Garden will advance to a 7 p.m. semifinal match against the winner to the quarterfinal match between Addison and Winterboro. The Class 1A final is set for 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
At the North Super Regional in Huntsville last week, Spring Garden guaranteed itself a place in the Elite Eight by defeating Brilliant (25-20, 32-30, 25-22) in the opening round of play on Friday and trimming Decatur Heritage (25-21, 27-25, 21-25, 27-25) in the quarterfinals Saturday morning.
At that point, the Panthers encountered Addison, the consensus No. 1 team in Class 1A, in the semifinals and fell 25-14, 25-12, 25-9. In the consolation final, the game to decide third and fourth, Spring Garden bounced back and defeated Athens Bible 28-26, 25-27, 25-12, 25-16.
In their Huntsville matches, the Panthers got big offensive efforts from senior middle Haley Motes and sophomore outside Madison Sides. Each had 41 kills and seven service aces over the two days. Senior middle Dallas Smith recorded 25 kills and junior Emory Reedy had 14 kills along with three aces.
Senior Darby Bryant led in assists with 41 and junior McKenzie Micha had 20 assists. Bryant also had five aces.
At the net, Motes led Spring Garden with nine blocks and Smith had seven blocks. The Panthers did a good job of keeping the ball in play. Sides and senior Maddie Micha each had 34 digs. Reedy had 32 digs, McKenzie Micha 28 and Bryant 24.

Comparison of Airway Remodeling Mediators Following Experimental Human Rhinovirus Infection in Subjects With Mild to Moderate Asthma and in Healthy, Non-asthmatic Control Subjects.

- How to Read a Study Record
Although changes in the lungs, known as remodeling, are a feature of asthma, the causes and mechanisms involved in the process have not yet been found. Recently, it has been established that remodeling can be observed in children prior to a formal diagnosis of asthma. Clinical studies indicate that human rhinovirus (HRV) "common cold" infections are a common cause of recurrent respiratory illnesses in childhood, and children with HRV-associated wheezing episodes have an increased risk of developing asthma. This led to the hypothesis that HRV infections may play a central role in the start of the airway remodeling leading to asthma.
The investigators plan to perform a study in which the investigators will expose subjects with mild-moderate asthma and healthy control subjects to HRV. This will allow us to accurately study the kinetics of HRV-induced inflammatory and remodeling responses in a well characterized group of asthmatic subjects and compare these outcomes to those in a healthy, non-asthmatic control group. The investigators will try to determine if alterations in relevant airway remodeling growth factors differ between healthy controls and asthmatic subjects, pre- and post-HRV infection. These growth factors will be assessed in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and endobronchial biopsy tissues and correlated with viral levels in both nasal lavage and BAL fluid.

Texas Man Pleads Not Guilty in Grand Forks Synthetic Drug CaseThe prosecutor says Charles William Carlton, 28, Katy, Texas, sold chemicals to a Grand Forks drug maker, whose hallucinogen killed two teens in June.
By: Stephen J. Lee, Grand Forks Herald
A Texas man accused of being the leader of a ring that imported chemicals used in hallucinogens that killed two teenagers in June in Grand Forks was arraigned in federal court in Fargo Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Charles William Carlton, 28, pleaded not guilty to three charges that could put him in prison for life.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Myers said Carlton has previous felony drug convictions, and that Carlton's drug-dealing led to the two deaths as well as "serious bodily injury" of at least three other people.
According to the prosecutor's charges, Carlton was "the leader, organizer, manager and supervisor" of a conspiracy that includes John Polinski in Houston; Byron Landry, known as "Triple Screw," in Kiln, Miss.; and Ryan Lane, a former Grand Forks resident now jailed in Crookston on separate state drug charges.
The chemicals Carlton imported were cooked by Andrew Spofford, 22, in his Grand Forks apartment into the deadly hallucinogens.
Big profits
Carlton, from Katy, near Houston, ordered drugs from China, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, Greece and Canada, and made lots of money reselling them, according to Myers.
The prosecutor asked the court to order Carlton to forfeit all profits, including $385,000 in cash.
Carlton and others in his ring would have shipments sent to addresses all over the United States on different dates to avoid detection by law enforcement, Myers said.
The alleged dealing began January 2011 and went on as recently as Aug. 24, according to the federal indictment against Carlton.
In court Tuesday, he told the judge he had only a 10th-grade education, according to court documents.
Carlton was brought to Fargo this week from Texas, where he had been jailed for more than a month, and will remain in federal custody until a detention hearing, perhaps later this week, a court official said.
Landry was arraigned last week in Fargo.
Polinski appeared in federal court Tuesday in Fargo, and was released pending his next appearance.
Others in case
Eleven people in the case, most of them former UND students, have already pleaded guilty, including Spofford.
Five have been sentenced. The latest was Scott Anthony, 27, sentenced Monday in Fargo to 15 months in prison for dealing Spofford's drugs.
That's the shortest sentence so far. Other sentences ranged from 27 months to 12.5 years in prison.
Anthony's attorney, Darla Schuman of Grand Forks, said he met Spofford at a bar in January 2012, and agreed to distribute Spofford's drugs, mostly to use them himself. But, she said, he quit dealing after his arrest in April, long before anyone died or was hurt by the drugs.
"He was never part of the primary conspiracy," she said Tuesday.
Myers said the investigation "continues both domestically and internationally."

If you want to know when that one is done you can follow this FB link. One Word Facebook :) We are always happy to have new listeners.
i went ahead and listened, just because i wanted to make a joke about using only one word to describe your band, and it would probably be "terrible." buttttt, you aren't terrible. you aren't good either. definitely not original or unique.
the first song on your website was pleasant.
the second was awful.
the third probably would have been ok if you could hear anything other than your vocals in the mix.
well i'm sorry to have upset you God. But thanks for listening anyways. I appreciate it. I'll be sure to let you know when we put up our next awful one :)

22 Products Designed To FILL The Need For Speed
Whether you drive a diesel- or gas-powered truck, we can guarantee you there's something in this month's buyer's guide that will catch your eye. With an emphasis on performance parts for engines and engine-management systems, we have showcased just a few of the numerous aftermarket items available to you that are on the cutting edge in the industry. Enjoy.
Roush Performance '04-'05 F-150 SuperchargerA long-standing symbol of power and performance, Roush Performance's Roots-style supercharger system for all '04-'05 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the 5.4L engine is capable of producing an additional 112 hp and 137 lb-ft of torque. While the system is relatively easy to install, don't underestimate the amount of time required for installation. Yet, when all is said and done, the result is definitely worth every ounce of time and energy expended during the install.
For more information, contact Roush Performance, Dept. OR, 28156 Plymouth Rd., Livonia, MI 48150, (734) 466-6237, www.RoushParts.com, www.roushperf.com
Flex-A-Lite 180 Black Magic Treme FanA 16-inch shrouded S-blade electric fan replaces the stock OE belt-driven fan for instant bolt-on horsepower and improved gas mileage. Moving 3300 cfm and drawing only 18 amps, the fan dissipates more than 50 percent more heat than other 16-inch fans on the market.
For more information, contact Flex-A-Lite Consolidated, Dept. OR, 7213 45th St., Ct. E., Fife, WA 98424, (800) 851-1510, www.flex-a-lite.com.
STS Turbo Systems GM Truck Turbo SystemThe STS Turbo System is unlike any aftermarket turbo system ever seen. Rather than being installed to the engine, the turbo system is a patented, remote-mounted turbo system that replaces the stock exhaust system on all '99-'04 GM fullsize trucks. Installing the system on your truck will account for a 58-percent horsepower increase and a 15-percent increase in fuel economy. Combine those gains with the fact that installation is fast and effortless, and the system becomes even more desirable

The 12-inch, dual-friction clutch assembly ensures that slippage is minimized while traction is maximized. Best of all, the system is affordably priced and is no more difficult to install than an OE clutch system.

Pipinstrasse is software to implement a social network for groups, families, or neighborhoods. It features user accounts and profile pages, photo galleries with automatic scaling, a pinboard, private messages, chat, invitations to email addresses, guest access to selected photo galleries, and a start page with "wall" and "like" buttons. Typical use cases are private Web sites for neighborhoods, families, or clubs, where members want to communicate, but no public facing Web site is needed. Use generally is for members only. New users can register through a Web form, but need to be activated by an administrator. However, there is a guest facility, which gives invited guests access to selected photo galleries. Graphic design is done through themes, which are separated in their own directories.
