Megan Fox Rides a Big Block
June 06, 2013, By: Jeff
Yes, it's true. Hollywood starlet and internationally renowned super-babe Megan Fox has gotten into some hot Big Block action on the set of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
How did this happen? Well, I'll tell you about it.
During the filming of Premium Rush, we got hooked up through our team rider and stunt man in the movie, Austin Horse, with a contact at a prop house in New York City. This winter I received an ominous phone message from someone in Hollywood claiming to be "Michael Bay's People" wanting to get in touch about an upcoming project. Initially I was skeptical, but that very same day our contact in New York gave a call and let us know the scoop.
Michael Bay was directing a new big screen adapatation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (go Ninja, go Ninja, go) and they needed a bike for the April O'Neil character to ride.
Now many of us at AC are of an age where the Turtles were flipping huge, (I remember trying to go to my small town theatre the day the first movie came out and being denied access due to a sellout) and we are gigantic nerds, so of course we wanted in. It only got better when it was confirmed that Megan Fox would be playing the heroine.
Just like that we shipped off three Big Blocks to NYC, and that was that.
Now that the movie is in production images like the above and following are floating around and we couldn't be more psyched. I could give two shits about Hollywood blockbusters, but hot damn, this is the Turtles. My eight year old self would be high fiving my 33 year old self so hard.
It's unfortunate that for some reason they added a stupid chrome fork and band clamp on rack to our beauty. But what are you gonna do? That's Hollywood babe.
Hidden Minneapolis
June 04, 2013, By: Jeff
It's a recurring theme, this place has unbelievable treasures for those willing to put in the work to find them.
On Sunday I went out to explore the urban singletrack / bum trails on the East side of the river. I then ran into some friends and ended up discovering a new special spot.
Get out there and know your city.
Knick NACCC Alleycat Photos
June 03, 2013, By: Jeff
On Saturday the first big alleycat of the year in Minneapolis took place, the Knick NACCC, which featured both a poker run and a speed race. (This is the first of many cats taking place to raise funds for the 2014 Minneapolis North American Cycle Courier Championship effort).
I was lucky enough to top the podium followed by David and SK, who were also both on board All-City's. A Macho Man piloted by Loretta also took home the ladies prize, so basically AC flipping killed.
It was a fast 29 mile race, through a whole bunch of gnarly traffic Uptown and the Twin's stadium. Big thanks to the organizers, sponsors, and racers!
On a side note, in addition to ruling the competition, I was amazed to see how many All-City's there were out there at the race.
Check the photo evidence.

First up, Zoe in Portland sent us over some love and appreciation for her new Space Horse. And yes, she's from Portland... and she put a bird on it. That cat looks pissed.
Here's one of Kyle S. tackling the Almanzo Royal with a Nature Boy and Fast is Forever combo.
Clark A. sent us over a shot of his Thunderdome.
Next us is Kurt L's Space Horse decked out with Paul components and stitched Midge grips.
Finally, we've got Joseph P's Macho Man out on some training for the gravel season.
Now get out there and turn some pedals. It's the weekend damn it and you deserve it.

Almanzo 2013 Race Report
May 30, 2013, By: Jeff
I'm not going to wax all poetic about the magic and unity of the Almanzo, because if you've ever done it then you already know, but I do need to give a shout out to Chris Skogen for once more putting on a truly world class event and giving it to the people for free.
As for my race, well I was slated to race the Royal 162 due to peer pressure from my incoming out of town friends, but as they began to scratch their names off the start list the pressure was lifted allowing me to ride the Hundo as my heart desired.
And damn am I glad I did, now I don't actually find the race to be "fun" in the usual sense of the word, I was happy to have done it and absolutely gave the race everything I had. I rode with the front group for the first 40 miles which were filled with a few epic chases after being shucked from the lead pack on several occasions. I've never seen the front stay together for so long, with the cause being that everyone seemed to be marking the tandem.
After that I bounced from group to group, up and down the front of the race, and absolutely drained myself to finish in 54th place with a time of 6 hours and 8 minutes. Pretty awesome time for this guy, especially since I made a crucial routing error that cost at least 10 minutes.
Here are a few photos from the day.
Chris' materials are always amazing.
And then earlier this week I took the opportunity to nab some glamour shots of my dusty Space Horse. Obviously my opinion is anything but neutral, but damn was I stoked on this bike for the race. I used every gear inch of the 34 X 32 low gearing, and the low bottom bracket and raked out front end were confidence inspiring on the downhills, while the bike still sprints like a freight train.

I'm going to skip the actual Almanzo race coverage for a second, as I wait for more photos to surface, and hit you hard with a day after blitzkrieg of on the bike recovery ride radness.
With Kyle and Eric still in town, it was important toshow them the number one reason I love living in Minneapolis, the easy access to things that don't feel like the city. My favorite ride, The Low Road - Sibley route, was the perfect opportunity to do that.
So off we went.
We got stormed on, had to alter routing, and ended up having an absolute blast.
Check out the evidence.
Kyle with the Crossie Freestyle steez
crossing onto the old Ped bridge.
We didn't ride the Sibley side because we figured it might be flooded, and this was the opportunity to have a porkchop at a very scenic location.
and of course the post ride cuddle
What more could anyone ask for in a day on the bike?
Weekend bag dump
May 20, 2013, By: Amy
I'm a pretty picky lady when it comes to bags. I have no shame in admitting I'm the sort that likes to carry a heap of stuff with me. Probably too much sometimes, but hey, I tend to wander and I like to be prepared. Between snacks, bevies and a change of clothes that usually comes to and from work with me, I had been pretty pleased with the overall volume of our medium Captain Phil. But last week I took the jump to our newest little addition, the Low Profile and, admittedly, I was thinking I may need to cut down on the crap I carried in order to maintain a comfortable load. Wrong-o. This little champ may just be my new fav. Being a narrow shouldered lass, I get the feeling with some cycling bags that I'm strapping on the Ghostbuster's proton pack. Especially when loaded, it can be tricky for me to find a balance between something that fits my profile and can still be loaded with happy fun time necessities and sit low enough to see over my shoulder. So far, I'm pretty sweet on this little number.
This particular beast is a proto. We made some final revisions to the pocket layout and the finish which I find to be 40% more badass than this guy.
Some late night river scrambling left me carting around some sand all weekend. As you can see, the side pockets are pretty perfect to stash empties.
The contents I awoke to Sunday morning consisted of the following assortment, which is a pretty fair smattering, more or less, of its contents on any given day:
Rain jacket, shoes, wool, cycling hat, U-lock, Duluth Pack coozie, waterbottle, notebook, empty sixer, empty bourbon, empties, keys, chapstick, coughdrops, sunscreen, knife, lipstick, marker, ear buds, fix-a-flat ready seatbag, gigantic girly wallet, spare change, matches, book, our new tool pouch which usually is housing my Pinhead tool, spoke wrenches, Crank Bros tool, extra tubes for 700c and 29er & 15mm... I think that's the list.

Introducing the Low Profile pack and Tool Pouch
May 08, 2013, By: Jeff
We just recieved our two latest bag related products, and man are we stoked. We've now got a slimmer more minimalist backpack and a handy dandy tool pouch for your consumption and enjoyment.
First up is the new backpack that we're creatively calling the Low Profile. (we were going to call it the Low-Pro but were pretty sure we'd get a cease and desist from Lowe Pro, so we didn't) It has basically the same outer configuration as the Captain Phil, but in a slimmer (1100cu), lighter, easier to see over your shoulder configuration.
This bag has been in the works for over a year now, and has become the go to for when I don't need a bunch of stuff, commuting, heading out for a long ride, or racing alleycats.
Constructed from water proof material, with a zipper pocket in the hood for easy secure access
adjustable sternum straps, removeable waist straps, and an included Iphone compatible cell holster
It features our standard backpack outer arrangement with a zip in the hood, magazine pocket, two flap pockets that are great for Ipods or Iphones, a central zipper pocket with a card holder, pen slots, and two attachment points
side pockets for lock or bottle or emptys
The Low Profile has a bit different construction on the inside than the Captain Phil, with two side pockets and the lack of a dry bag. The outside material is waterproof, but the seams aren't. I've ridden with it in several downpours and there will be a little seepage at the seams on the bottom of the bag, but it's never been a big deal nor really bummed me out, and we like this more "finished" interior for a bag of this size and intended use.
It's not for living out of like the Phil, it's for when your're on a mission.
The best part though is the price, only $89 MSRP. The best value in the game!
We also received our first run of tool pouches, and couldn't be happier with them. There's nothing really fancy going on, just an affordable place to put your junk in a well made cordura package.
Both are available now, so jump on it.

Bandit Cross Night Moves 2 Photos
April 30, 2013, By: Jeff
On Friday I held the first Bandit Cross of the Spring, a redux of Night Moves, a short course crit. Here are the shots of what went down.
I wasn't feeling too well, so I headed down without my racing gear to force myself to sit out and get some much needed recovery time. However as I setup the course I got way too jealous of the racers and knew I had to jump in.
Not having any shorts, I had to improvise a bit and was glad I did because I felt great out there. The course was fast, people were stoked, and there is absolutely nothing like hurling yourself down a little trail at race speed with only a little fading light to mark your path.

Saturday at The Hub / Outdoor Expo
April 29, 2013, By: Jeff
This past Saturday Amy and I headed down to The Hub's Westbank location to support the shop during the Midwest Mountaineering Outdoor Expo, which brings a crazy amount of traffic to the area.
We setup the tent and got out the America chairs and were ready for business by 8:30. The issue was that no breakfast joint's were open at that time and we were starvin after a busy Friday night. Had to wait till 10 to hitup my favorite breakfast spot in Minneapolis, The Wienery. Homemade sausages, hand cut hash browns and everything cooked in butter. It's a slice of heaven.
back at the tent
The Westbank is also always a hot spot for people watching, we particularly enjoyed this creative pannier backpack
and these two hot-shits with the unicycle tricks.
We also had an old man with a Santa beard ride by in the drops wearing a one piece pink lycra suit with black basketball mesh shorts. Exchanging puzzled looks we wondered if that really had just happened.
some other sites were this cool old Schwinn
and this Russian trackbike headtube
Thanks to all the kids from The Hub for an enjoyable Saturday.

Round these parts it finally feels like spring time. Birds singing, potholes round every corner. Dare I say, I exposed some knee on the ride in this morning after seemingly endless months of knickered hibernation. Pretty good start to a Friday. Seeing as though tonight marks the first Bandit Cross of the season, it seems only fitting to post up some hot cross action that's been coming our way recently.
Winn D in Boulder sent over this fine lookin Zona. Bikes always look better dirty, if you ask me.
Nick B's rasta Macho Man in Michigan.
Mick in Australia got some nice custom work done to his Macho, red rum build.
And finally, John W sent over a shot of his Nature Boy in Washington. Spring time, indeed.

Prepping the Space Horse for Almanzo
April 23, 2013, By: Jeff
the before photo
Yesterday I started prepping my Space Horse for the Royal 162 mile race at the Almanzo coming up next month. The goal was to shave a little weight with some parts that I had lying around gathering dust.
I guess I should start this with why I chose the Space Horse.
Well my friends, that tale starts with Kyle Kelley (of Tracko and Golden Saddle Cyclery frame) and John Watson of Prolly is not Probably. Both are dear friends, as well as a couple of swinging dicks looking for any opportunity to twirl their meat. When I suggested that they come visit for the Almanzo 100 they both decided that the ante had to upped to the 162 mile version, that there wasn't enough climbing and the 100 was too easy. "Dude, do you have any idea how hilly Texas is? 7000 feet aint' nothing." " I ripped 1200 feet on Cloudbonk bro." etc, etc.
I'm paraphrasing of course, but these two yahoos got no idea what the Southern Minnesota bluff country has in store for them. I realize the numbers aren't that impressive, but there aren't any flats, and a century on pavement sure as shit ain't a century on dirt.
I myself will freely admit to being scared shitless of the 162. I've never ridden that far in my life, much less on gravel and the spring snows (5 inches last night) are really hampering my training plans.
With the race in mind and looming, I decided to get my bike ready.
In previous years I have ridden a single speed Nature Boy or my Mr. Pink. This year though the Pink was out, because I wanted something with a Compact gearing, and decided upon the Space Horse instead of my cross bikes for the simple fact that my Space Horse steerer has 10mm more spacers in it and I'll take any comfort I can get over the 12 hours the 162 is going to take us.
Yesterday I started doing some mods:
I had a carbon SRAM Force crankset lying around my desk, so I put that on to shed some weight, I changed the brakeset from the Tektro's to a set of Shimano CX-70's that I had from my Macho King proto, and put on my cross racing wheelset which consists of a 28 hole 2 cross build on a Hed and King hub, in place of the existing 32 hole 3X Shimano build that I use for commuting / light touring.
I shed about 1lb from the bike, and will lose even more when I ditch the 35c T-Serv's in favor of 33c Clement LAS's and lightweight tubes for the actual event. I also plan on digging around for a lighter weight seatpost, as the Kalloy one I have on there is a real chunker.
Now I just need to get out there and get some more miles in.
Bandit Cross Returns this Friday: Night Moves, Cross Night Crit
April 22, 2013, By: Jeff
The first race of the year will take place down in the dog park proper with the second running of Night Moves, a short course night crit.
Why? Because pretty soon the spring floods will be upon us and will render the interior of the dog park unridable until late fall. Not to mention that the first Night Moves happened to be some of the most fun I had on a bike all last year.
So if you missed it the first time, now is your opportunity to check out what all the fuss was about.

What is 612 Select?
April 08, 2013, By: Jeff
You may have noticed that all the non Columbus models now come with a little tubing decal on the seattube that reads "612 Select." You may also be asking yourself, what the heck is that? Well my friends here is your long overdue explanation.
We spend a crazy amount of time designing our frames, dialing in not just the geometries but the tubing diameters, wall thicknesses and butting profiles to get the feel of the bike just right. We do this not just on one frame size, but across them all, making sure that each size of every model is precisely tuned to give the rider the experience and thrill that they've come to expect from a bike wearing the Hennepin Bridge headtube badge.
It's a process and result that we're quite proud of, so we decided to give our proprietary blend of double-butted 100% 612 Select Cro-Moly tubes a name. That name is 612 Select.
So there you go.

Product Development: When Things Don't Make It
March 29, 2013, By: Jeff
I've been wanting to share the tale of the now canceled Macho King cantilever (a Zona version of the Macho Man) for a while now, but I've been afraid to show you something that you can't have. We've been getting a bunch of questions about a Zona Macho lately, and as I feel there are a number of interesting behind the scenes info / how AC works aspects of the story, this is my attempt to let you know what happened and why.
Now a lot of people have warned me not to share this kind of information, for a number of reasons:
a. people will bitch and complain that they can't get one
b. consumers don't need to know this level of background detail
c. you're letting competitors know what you're working on
d. competitors will know your capabilities and testing standards
So what I'm getting it is that we're taking a risk by letting you in on the goings on behind the scenes, please don't hassle us about it. It is what it is. We're bummed out too that it's not a reality. But those are the breaks. We're moving on.
While it's a touchy subject, if the old Bridgestone catalogs have taught me anything, it's that bike nerds are always stoked to learn about manufacturing and design process. Why we do what we do, etc.
The concept:
make the most amazing cantilever bike we can before cantilevers become obsolete, and push the boundaries of what a production bike can be.
This was to be our most "handbuilt" frame (though of course all of our frames are handbuilt) in that it would include a level of detail and complexity that none of our other bikes posess.
To that end we decided to give it "full internal" cable routing (though it is external on the chain stay), with a quadruple top tube and a double downtube piercing. We would also make it out of the always delightful Columbus Zona tubeset and give it a more heritage english BB shell.
the now canceled Macho King proto
racing the proto at Bandit Cross
the double top tube and single downtube inlets
visible is a custom seat collar that we're working on, the finished version should be even more refined. No ETA available
We actually received first round proto's fairly early last year and commenced ride testing. They rode amazing as you would expect any frame built with high grade steel to do and the quality of the construction left nothing to be desired. They were flipping flawless.
I'll let you judge for yourself, but in our eyes they were simply gorgeous. The paint scheme remains my favorite to date (rest assured it will be used on something somewhere down the line), and the clean lines of the bike were positively NAHBSian.
We knew we had a real winner, even writing this revisiting the project I'm getting all misty about what could have been.
So what happened?
Well testing happened. I'm sure you're aware that most bicycle companies perform some sort of testing to ensure that their bicycles are safe. We over at All-City actually use the European Union standards which are harsher and stricter than their American counterparts. Now the thing about testing is that modern standards were not really designed for steel. They were designed for aluminum and their appropriateness for steel is a question of some debate. The metals don't act or react the same.
That said, they are the standards to which we've decided to hold to, in order to ensure that frames that wear an AC badge can stand up to the punishment that we know you dish out. In the Macho King we had a frame which 40 years of steel bike design and our own riding tells us is perfectly safe and reasonable, yet it didn't pass our requirements. There was no question of what to do, we would go back to the drawing board and try again.
So we worked with Columbus to produce a custom Zona tube (I'm not saying which tube or how it failed because some information needs to remain proprietary to All-City, and we'd like to keep some of what we learned close to the vest) and tried again. This time it made it through almost all of the required cycles but ultimately came up short. We were close but running out of time as we wanted it to arrive in June 2013 in time for cyclocross selling season.
Due to the high sample and testing cost, and because we were also working on the 612 Select disc version, we decided to simply cancel the bike and focus instead completely on our disc development. It was a sad and difficult decision, but ultimately the correct one for the brand. We certainly haven't given up on doing a higher end version of our steel cross bike, it's just that it won't happen in canti.
We shot for the moon and came up a bit short, but we learned a lot from doing this project. We pushed our frame builders, we pushed our supply chain, and we got to work with Columbus on designing a custom tube. We have a better idea of what our capabilities are and what our partners can accomplish. It's not coming out, but the project was far from a waste of time.
This was intended as a mic drop product that ultimately failed, yet from it's ashes emerged the Macho Man Disc and way cooler shit to come.
Stay tuned.

The Future…
March 25, 2013, By: Jeff
Last night after returning from Denver I made a little post on my personal blog (bikejerks), and I figured that I'd repost it since a lot of what I'm talking about refers to All-City and associates.
Below is the post
I apologize for the lack of quality blogging the last few months, it feels like it's been ages since I've actually written anything worthwhile or of substance. And the riding's been stale as the post Stupor Bowl winter doldrums have taken their toll on my mind and spirit.
The riding particularly has been frustrating as my back hasn't allowed me to do any for the last six weeks or so. I'm on the mend though and am very much looking forward to tomorrow's commute into work. (you know I'm starving for saddle time, if I use words like looking, forward, and commute in the same sentence)
I just got back from Denver and the trip was pretty great. I was fortunate enough to see some people who are dear to me, and meet some new ones whom I hope become trusted allies.
One of those people whom I was blessed to spend some time with is Tyler from Pearl Velo. Tyler has been an All-City dealer with us since the beginning of the brand, and the path that AC and his shop have taken run in parallels.
As we sat having a beer on Friday evening something that came up in conversation really sparked a sense of optimism in me. The realization that so many of us who came into the industry during the track bike boom have grown and blossomed, found our respective niches, and are set to move the industry in very exciting ways in the coming years.
Every period has it's movers and shakers, and as our generation continues to come into our own, it's on our shoulders to make positive changes for the future. The players are many and too numerous to name, but think about it: your favorite blog, the coolest bike shops in America, the folks behind the brands you identify with, the magazines, we're even starting to come into the manufacturing side of things. Not to mention all the riders from coast to coast.
I am so proud to have so many wonderful brothers and sisters in arms. The previous generation have done what they could, and now the group who has come up in the urban cycling scene have the opportunity to pick up the mantle and run with it. It is our time, and things are only going to get better from here on out.
Shout outs to Tyler, Josh, Eli, Prolls, Kyle, Ty, Woody, Josh K, Bryan, Dan P, Jeremiah, Billy, Sarah, Dan & Emily, Andy, the Rock-It boys, Chas, James, Kevin, Brad and Jeff, etc. (I could go on listing names all day, so apologies if I kept it short and didn't call you out, I hope you know you have my undying love and respect)
So proud of all of you and happy for your success. So many folks pursuing their dreams, so many laying it all on the line for their shot at making a difference. So overwhelmed to be a part of it.
Some folks are natural born world shakers, and this generation of cycling is blessed to have plenty of them.
This is just the beginning.
[End Post]
I'd also like to add, thank you to the All-City dealers, and to the people who ride and support us. Lately I've taken to referring to the past few years of All-City as the "lean years." Things are just starting to get really good for us as we've been growing tremendously the past few, and with that growth comes the opportunity to make ever radder and nicer stuff. We're truly just getting started.

Customer Builds
March 15, 2013, By: Amy
This morning's ride into work was one icy mother. My second fall left me cussing for spring and longing for late night adventure rides, grassy beer stops and bike camping getaways. So this afternoon I dug into the ole mail box to flip through some customer photos of those gloriously sunny days gone by. Come on spring…
Tim James' Horse all decked out for a 200K get away
Nick Wood, Portland- What a classy beaut. There's gotta be beers in there, right?
Greg W. send us over a photo of his lady. She's got the right idea.
Saja in LA
Kurt in Raleigh, NC
Man, I'm so ready for all of this. Next week I'll be taking a little get away from my desk, so my email responses may be creeping back to you a little slower than usual. My apologies. You can rest assured I'll be riding my bike enjoying some fine beverages thinking about you. Keep those photos coming.
See you lovelies next Monday,

Go green without sacrificing picture quality. The 46" VE5 features a high-efficiency HCFL backlight that provides optimum brightness and reduces power consumption up to 50 percent versus Energy Star 3.0 requirements. In fact, this set consumes only 90 watts, which is as little as an incandescent light bulb.
If Elvis left the room, the VE5 would know. This HDTV has a Presence Sensor which detects if you've stepped away from your TV and automatically turns the picture off. If after 30 minutes, the sensor still doesn't detect movement in the room, the set turns off completely.
Did you know that most TVs consume power even when turned off? The VE5 is equipped with a new Energy Saving Switch which reduces power consumption of the TV to zero when you're not watching television.
Imagine a TV that reduces power consumption based on your viewing environment. Dim the lights to watch a movie and the integrated Light Sensor automatically adjusts to your room's ambient light and lowers the brightness of the TV's backlight to conserve energy.
Enjoy a more fluid, natural and realistic viewing experience while watching fast-action sports and movies. Motionflow™ 120Hz technology enhances sharpness and delivers smooth motion for fast-action pictures.
Every scene will be sharper, more vibrant and life-like thanks to BRAVIA Engine™ 2 fully digital video processor. This unique technology optimizes contrast and enhances overall image detail while significantly reducing noise.
Wirelessly transmit HD audio and video, attach a DVD player behind your TV, or add four additional HDMI™ ports. With optional BRAVIA Link modules, a better viewing experience is yours for the making.
16:9 Full HD 1080p resolution panel (1920 x 1080) accepts any HDTV signal and renders it with optimum resolution, so you can take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc™ players and Sony® PlayStation®3 entertainment systems that can deliver 1080p content (all sold separately).
Dynamic contrast involves real-time image processing that results in deep blacks in darker scenes, as well as fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the picture for a difference you can truly see.
An integrated light sensor gauges the ambient light in the room and raises or lowers the brightness of the HDTV's backlight based on room lighting conditions. Dim the lights to watch a movie, and the light sensor also dims the backlight, reducing unnecessary power consumption even further.
BRAVIA Sync capability combines the one-touch access and control functionality of BRAVIA Theatre Sync™ with the ability to control CEC-enabled Sony® Handycam® camcorders and Cyber-shot® digital still cameras using the HDTV's remote and an on-screen display via an HDMI™ connection.
BRAVIA Link compatibility expands your HDTV's capabilities by letting you connect optional BRAVIA Link modules, including the BRAVIA DVD Link, BRAVIA Wireless Link, and BRAVIA Input Link (all sold separately).
A built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner with QAM delivers over-the-air digital TV and unencrypted HDTV broadcast signals, as well as traditional analog TV broadcasts.
The 46-inch diagonal VE5 HDTV features an HCFL (Hot Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight, which uses specialized components to provide optimum brightness as soon as you turn on the HDTV and to reduce power consumption by up to 55% from Energy Star 3.0 requirements. In fact, the KDL-46E5 consumes only about 105 watts – as little as an incandescent light bulb.
The new Energy Saving Switch, located on the side panel of the VE5, enables your HDTV to consume zero power when it's in standby mode, effectively eliminating the use of unnecessary power when you're not watching TV.
The BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony® algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
Connect your camera, USB-enabled MP3 player, or USB storage device directly to your HDTV's USB input to view photos on the big screen or listen to your favorite music.
The Favorites Menu function makes it easy to quickly access your favorite channels, video inputs, and digital images to share with family and friends.
Engineered for fast-action sports, movies, and games, Motionflow 120Hz technology reduces judder and blurriness. Overall, motion is smoother, sharper, and more natural when watching your favorite HD content, DVDs, and even broadcast movies and prime-time programming.
The Presence Sensor helps you conserve energy when you forget to turn off the VE5 HDTV. If the Presence Sensor detects that you've been away from your HDTV for 5, 30, or 60 minutes, the backlight will automatically turn off, but the volume will remain on so you can still hear the sound. If you don't return after the display has been off for 30 minutes, the VE5 turns completely off.
The Dynamic Backlight Control feature adjusts the brightness of the backlight both to optimize image quality and to reduce power consumption. It works in real time, optimizing for both bright outdoor images and dark interior shots scene-by-scene for even greater power savings.
Get versatile HD connection options with seven HD inputs. Four HDMI™ inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) let you connect a Sony® PlayStation®3 entertainment system, Blu-ray Disc™ player, or any other HDMI-capable equipment (all sold separately) and get uncompressed digital video and multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. An HD component input and an HD combo input (1080/60i capable) provide added HD-capable connectivity, and a PC input (HD-15 pin) offers the added versatility of using your HDTV as a computer monitor.2
24p True Cinema mode provides a direct connection to 24p video sources, avoiding conversions and allowing users to enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second) cinematic picture quality when using a 24p True Cinema capable output device, such as a Blu-ray Disc™ player or Sony® PlayStation®3 entertainment system.
VESA-compatible hole spacing uses an industry-standard mounting hole pattern that can be used with VESA-compliant mounting brackets, taking the guesswork out of selecting the proper hardware for hanging your HDTV on the wall. Wall mount bracket sold separately. Restrictions apply

Boundary between the United States and Mexico, map by William H. Emory, 1855
Between 1849 and 1857, the Army Corps of Topographical Engineers marked and mapped the U.S.-Mexico boundary and published a report on natural features of the borderland. The vast new western territories immediately became a focus of congressional dispute regarding slavery in new states. This map shows the border between New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico.

See, that's something I don't get. If you're ashamed of yourself that you like something and there's nothing actually wrong with it (like murder/rape/incest/pedophilia are widely considered to be morally bad) and it doesn't hurt anyone, why hate yourself for it? I can get being worried about being judged, as I've been there, and I'm surely not the only one. If you hate yourself for liking something, either don't do it, or don't be so hard on yourself about it. :< Self-abuse only hurts you, and you are the only one who can stop that.
(I mean that as a general "you", for the record.)

Command & Conquer 3!
Posted on Friday, April 21 2006 @ 02:32:16 Eastern Well, C&C3 has been confirmed. No doubt the 'official' GR staff are fainting with anticipation over the new title. I personally am hesitant as there is a new crew behind it, but as long as the old Kane is there, I'll be one happy general. No doubt I will be going renegade to get my hands on a copy, but I doubt I'll need to start a firestorm like last time. I can still remember the aftermath when the police launched their counter-strike against my series of covert operations. I'll be the one to get my revenge this time. Expect me to be hanging around near the game's zero hour. See what I did? I named all the C&C expansion packs! [ 0 Comments ] [ Post a Comment ]

AT&T strike averted as contracts expire; officials say talks ongoing
NEW YORK — Union contracts for 40,000 AT&T workers expired at midnight, but a strike was averted with officials saying early Sunday that talks were continuing.
Though expiration of the deadline left the Communications Workers of America free to call a walkout, spokeswoman Candice Johnson said employees would report for work without a contract.
"Workers are keeping their option to strike open," she said.
Related story: AT&T workers hold union rally on New Haven Green (video)
AT&T spokesman Marty Richter also said talks were ongoing. He said earlier that the company has been planning for the possibility for a strike for two years, and managers and vendors will step in to keep service running if there is one.
Photos: AT&T workers rally in New Haven
At issue in the negotiations are job protection clauses and health care premiums and co-payments. AT&T says it wants employees to shoulder more of their growing health care costs and more leeway to downsize its shrinking landline operations. Some of its workers have contracts that guarantee them job offers at different parts of the company if they're laid off.
Union organizers point to the overall financial health of the company, which posted a profit of $4 billion for last year.
Four separate contracts in eastern, Midwestern and Western areas covering some 40,000 workers in total expired.
The workers are on the shrinking local-phone and long-haul data side of the business. Continued...
Three years ago, the parties kept talking past the contract expiration, and reached agreements without a strike.
Dallas-based AT&T Inc. is the country's largest employer of unionized workers. About 140,000 of its 256,000 employees are union members.

I received two unknown ferns from a friend, just basically ripped out of her fern tub. They were doing ok til I put them in the bathroom, where I thought they would enjoy the constant moisture from the daily shower. However, they dried right up and they may be dead. I watered them faithfully but I would like to know if ferns have good roots enough that they might spring back. Perhaps they were just too shocked at the transplant, but they seemed to do ok for a week or so, then quickly went downhill. One, the one with bigger leaves, dropped many of its leaves. Has anyone experienced this and had a fern come back to life? How did you do it? Thanks |

Maybe they have too much moisture? What kind of mix where they in? Ferns can be very fussy. When they go downhill, they probably won't come back. Where they outdoor plants to begin with? What type of ferns, and post a photo if you want. |
This is an old post, but I can grow ferns outdoors, but indoors, it doesn't fail, they dry up or get fungus gnats. I can't get the happy medium. They seem to need moist air and heat/ AC takes that out. I can't speak for your home, but mine isn't fern friendly obviously. |

Jamie Dimon Should Resign Over JPMorgan's $3B Lost Bet and Campaign Against Financial Regs
(Multimedia) As the financial giant JPMorgan Chase continues to suffer major losses on its risky derivatives trades, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman says bank chief Jamie Dimon should resign "precisely because he has been using his supposed wisdom as a way to campaign against reform and now it turns out he wasn't that wise after all. In fact, his bank was doing seriously bad stuff." Krugman says, "I think it would be better for everybody if he went." The ... Full Story »

$5,000 (as tested) / pioneerelectronics.com / 800-421-1404
Deeper blacks and a host of refinements make this year's Elite Kuro even better than its award-winning predecessor
• Detailed and deep-looking shadows • Accurate color • Exceptional video processing and noise reduction
• Sensors used for Optimum picture mode affect other presets
Key Features
• Optimum picture mode • 24p input mode with 3:3 pulldown (72-Hz display) • DLNA-certified • Inputs: 4 HDMI 1.3; 2 component-, 2 composite-, and 2 S-video; RGB PC; RF Ant/Cable • 48 1/2 x 28 1/2 x 11 3/4 in; 126 lb (w/stand)
Last year's lineup of Pioneer Kuro plasmas established a new benchmark for flat-panel HDTV performance, with the sets serving up deep-black backgrounds that were unlike anything we'd seen on a plasma or LCD model before - or since (See the review of the PRO-110FD in "Plasma vs. LCD: Round II"). Having achieved its darkest dreams, Pioneer then announced plans at the Consumer Electronics Show to redouble its efforts to make blacks even darker on its next generation of TVs. To see how well the company fared, we called in the Elite PRO-111FD, Pioneer's new top-dog plasma in a 50-inch screen size.
You'd expect a 50-inch plasma TV that sells for five grand to be packed with bells and whistles, and the PRO-111FD doesn't disappoint. Its Optimum picture mode uses internal and external sensors to make automatic picture adjustments - including brightness, contrast, color, and even color temperature - based on ambient light conditions in your room. And the TV's DLNA certification means it can stream audio, video, and photo files from compatible gear when connected to a home network via the back-panel Ethernet jack. The set comes with side-mounted speakers, but they can be left off if you prefer a more streamlined look. Speaking of looks, the PRO-111FD's gloss-black styling originated with Pioneer, so we can forgive the company if its TV now resembles many others. What sets it apart is a substantial metal-and-acrylic stand - also gloss black - with a strikingly minimal footprint. A panel input on the TV's left-hand side offers up a basic set of control buttons as well as an A/V input with HDMI and USB jacks.
Pioneer's remote control, which has a more substantial look and feel than that of other TV handsets, is another nice touch. The keypad is fully backlit - a good thing, since its smallish buttons would otherwise be tough to navigate in a dark room. A set of direct-input buttons at the top lets you quickly switch video inputs, and you can jump between display modes by hitting the Screen Size button. Along with a Dot by Dot option that displays 1080i/p programs with no overscan, there are Full (16:9) and 4:3 modes, as well as a number of picture zoom and stretch options for both standard- and high-def programs.
The PRO-111FD's elegant design also extends to its menu system. You can custom-label inputs using an onscreen graphic keyboard and store custom picture adjustments for each input in the Standard picture mode, a setting that also allows the TV to meet Energy Star 3.0 power-saving requirements. The six additional picture presets - the settings for each of which can be custom-tweaked - include a Movie mode that provides a relatively accurate color balance (see Test Bench), and a Pure mode that virtually eliminates all video processing.
And then there's the sensor-driven Optimum mode. While it served up a decent enough picture for casual daytime viewing, I preferred to invoke my carefully honed Standard setting for each input. Also, I found that with the Optimum setting's sensors switched on, picture settings for other presets were affected as well, leading me to turn it off.

Nearly 40 years ago, Joni Mitchell warbled about the industrial prostituting of America, how they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. Time travel to the present and "they" are offering a slice of that paradise by touting environmentally friendly products: Leave your carbon footprint along the highway as you park in big-box lots and race to the cash register to buy greener you. If you're lucky, the "tree museum" might be right next door.
Money can't buy you love and it won't buy you a green world. In fact, some people believe the recession plaguing the global economy and resulting in reduced spending is the best gift anyone could have bestowed upon Mother Nature.
"The economic downturn is the best thing that's happened in a long time," believes Peter Thompson, an educator at the Atlantic States Legal Foundation, a Syracuse-based entity founded in 1982 that provides legal, technical and organizational assistance to individuals and groups to try to abate threats to the natural environment. "If Obama's stimulus package works the way it's designed to work, then all we've done is dodge a bullet. If the recession does what it needs to do, which is to be the great economic leveler, then we will have no choice but to do things more intelligently."
The president has already doled out more than $17 billion from the $787 billion American Recovery and Investment Act to help struggling U.S. automotive giants General Motors and Chrysler, and more bailout cash could be on the way as the pair continue to flirt with bankruptcy. The automotive industry has long been criticized by environmental advocates calling for tighter emission controls as well as the production of more fuel-efficient and alternative-energy cars to wean our petroleum dependence.
"We knew in the 1970s that this was going to happen and knew oil was a finite resource," continues Thompson, "and the American automobile industry has had lots of opportunities over the last 20 to 30 years to bail itself out and go down a greener road. So why didn't they get ahead of the curve and instead of making huge pickup trucks that they advertise as being able to haul 69 elephants on the flatbed, start thinking about more fuel-efficient cars? They didn't do that and now General Motors is talking about bankruptcy and maybe that's the pill that needs to be swallowed to straighten this out."
Thompson states the obvious that Barack Obama is a definite improvement over his predecessor, George W. Bush, who opposed binding commitments for reducing greenhouse gasses with a June 2007 refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty intended to bring countries together to reduce global warming as part of an amendment to the U.N. Framework on Climate Change. But he also cautions that "even a man as intelligent, bright and hopeful as Obama is still won't change it overnight."
While some products are indeed more energy efficient than previous incarnations—compact fluorescent energy-saving light bulbs come to mind—others pitched as green are, as Thompson says, "a little questionable." In the industry it's known as greenwashing. "I think many companies are trying to market {green} to make money," says Thompson, "and that is the same concept our economy was running on before the economic crisis and nothing is going to change by labeling merchandise as green. It's an ideology, not a commodity."
As an educator, Thompson believes the next generation must be taught about the environment in a hands-on way. "We don't need another college course on public participation where you do it all in the classroom," he says. "We need to get a core of people who can go out in the community and take a bunch of kids and say, 'Look, what do you see?' We need to be teaching people to live where they live."
For example, he recounts when he took a group of kids from the Dunbar Center to Elmwood Park not too long ago. As they approached the headwaters of Furnace Brook, which Carpenter's Brook Fish Hatchery personnel stock with trout every year, he posed what he thought was a simple question to the children. "Furnace Brook is crystal clear; it's spring-fed," he recalls. "I wanted them to feel the temperature of the water which would tell them 'cold water, why is it cold?' Because it's coming out of the spring and it's nearly the same temperature year-round. But the kids would not put their hands in the water because they believe that every body of water in Syracuse is polluted.
"I said to these kids, 'What you're standing by is probably one of the most pristine habitats you'll ever see in your entire life.' A lot of kids don't know what's outside their door."
Part of the reason for that, Thompson believes, is the consumer-driven American Way, which explains mansions and elaborate housing developments built on attractive land that's been stripped of anything natural—meaning fewer and fewer natural playrooms for kids to go out and discover.
"I think the standard American dream is as much as you can possibly consume, as big a house as you can possibly buy, as many boats and cars as you can buy, and for the infinite level of high income," continues Thompson. "If you can think it you can do it, and if you can dream it you can do it—and that's just not true. There's not enough to go around anymore; we've used it all up."
Thompson mentions that most of us are now wired to spend our days in cubicles with no windows and have lost touch with what's going on outside. But he rationalizes that we need to make do with our immediate surroundings in order to really become one with the harmony of the elements. Further, it's a misconception that we have to get out of Syracuse to be in nature. Nature is everywhere.
"I walked my dog here on West Onondaga Street yesterday," Thompson says, "and as I'm always looking for birds I looked up and there was a falcon. A couple of years I walked out my back door and looked up and there was a bald eagle flying overhead. Thirty years ago you were lucky that if in your lifetime you saw one bald eagle, but now they're becoming commonplace."

How our Support Processes Helped us Handle 60,000 New MacHeist Customers
Back in 2010, Greg wrote an article about his experience purchasing software from MacHeist, called "Build the Ark Before the Flood". His experience with developers who sold their software through MacHeist had not always been great – mainly because they clearly weren't prepared for the volume of support requests that were going to come their way.
A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to be on the other side of the MacHeist fence – our app, Clarify, was featured as part of the MacHeist NanoBundle 3. It was our chance to really put to test the support processes we have established over the last couple of years.

Rockies and INF Jonathan Herrera avoided arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract.
The two sides settled at the midpoint of arbitration figures that were exchanged last week. Herrera was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter after batting .262/.317/.351 with three home runs, 12 RBI and a .688 OPS in 251 plate appearances in 2012. He figures to serve as a utility infielder for the Rockies in 2013.
