Yes, what limabean said. You would not have to even grab a child to get the toy back, and besides... it was her kid's toy!
Yeah, this is why I'm glad I don't live in NYC anymore. I can't imagine getting screamed at and cursed like that anywhere else. I love the city, but sometimes enough is enough.
I just spit water all over my computer screen.
And, really? the mother didnt know where her 5 or 6 year old child got a toy from? I am familiar with ever article of toy in my house and car. If Im in the bank, and my son suddenly has an unidentified object in his hands, I am like, where did you get that? You didnt have that when we walked IN to this bank.

This is what I too have been trying to understand....
Printable View
I can't answer definitively, but I'll add my 2 cents worth (2 cents worth seems to be a hot topic). Many RSA Game Ranches supplement their income by breeding and raising disease-free buffs (I believe diseases from domestic cattle probably played hell over the years on the once vast buff herds). I assume these are then sold to various ranches, probably many without buffs, and ultimately the population expands and reintroduction into areas where buffs once existed occurs. On our family safari last year, we saw two such operations in the Limpopo Region. One was on a relatively small enclosure, one was on a huge ranch. There was no hunting on the small enclosure (by small I mean roughly 40-60 acres, it would not have been sporting). There was buff hunting allowed on the large ranch, which also had a healthy population of white rhinos, black impala, golden gnu and a sub-species of sable that I can't remember but was apparently very special. In the off chance you don't know, most hunting in the RSA is conducted on high-fenced ranches. If one of our PHs was accurate in his description of the system, the landowner is entitled to do whatever he/she wishes with "most" of the game on their ranch provided their fence is in good condition. I say "most" because some animals are probably protected or more tightly regulated. Some think this is unacceptable, others see it as an important part of the overall health and survival of many species. I grew up on a farm in Ohio, and the thought of hunting inside a high-fence seemed like a joke to me when I was young. Over time this changed, especially after moving to Texas where high-fences are very common. A whitetail on 200 acres can disappear just as easily as one on 5000 acres and they behave the same.
The game farms in the RSA have been vital to the survival of many species in my opinion, and it is only because the animals they manage have a greater value than the cattle or crops they have replaced. These animals have this value because of us, hunters. I have since high-fenced three sides of our property in the Texas Hill Country (4' fence on the front) and introduced blackbuck antelope. For whatever reason, they will not jump a 4' fence. There are probably more blackbuck antelope in Texas than in their native country of India. Because they are considered an exotic species, there is no closed season, bag limit or hunting restrictions. They can legally be hunted at night from a vehicle with a spot light on private Texas property if one wishes. Despite this, they continue to thrive. They thrive because of their value to hunters. Even on our relatively small property, they are quite difficult to take.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but reading between the lines, this bull was "protected" so that he had a chance to spread his genes (46" are some impressive genes). We crossed paths with a very impressive young buff on the large ranch in the RSA (only a few years old with an absolutely massive spread and soft bosses). He was too young to shoot, but he was also "off limits" due to his potential and the hope he would sire similar offspring. The same held true for an absolutely beautiful eland bull (most incredible facial markings I have ever seen). He too was protected and designated as a breeder (not confined to some small pen). The description of this buff says he's among a herd of approximately 150, is close to 11 yrs old, is being pushed out (he looks like he's on the downhill slide), and the enclosure is in excess of 5,000 acres. 5,000 acres is big by any standard. Now that he's being pushed out, his chance to spread his genes have ended. Now his only value is as a trophy, and 46" is impressive. This buff has probably not been harassed by lions his whole life and has seen humans on a regular basis, but that does not mean he's tame. The one I shot in the RSA had probably never seen a lion in his entire life and had seen humans constantly. This did not make him less dangerous. In fact, no one bothered to tell me he had a reputation for charging anything that walked on two legs until after I killed him. He squared off against me, and we were a long way from the truck when we crossed paths. After the dust settled, everyone came up and shook my hand and thanked me for killing it. I felt more intimidated by that buff than any bear I have encountered.
Anyhow, everyone has their own idea of what is acceptable and what is not. Personally, I applaud the efforts of the South African ranchers who are expanding and improving the buff herds. They can only do this with the financial support that comes from us. Based on what I saw last year, the price quoted is quite attractive for a RSA buff that sports a legitimate 46" spread. As for the quality of the hunt, who knows. It may be ridiculously easy or it may be life-threatening.
I fully understand the concept of high fenced ranches having hunted them in TX and Nambia and next year probably RSA.
And I personally think you are wrong about one thing....a high fenced 200-600 acre plot jammed with deer like "The Sanctuary" and others here in MI is completely different than a high fenced ranch in TX of 5,000 acres plus and is nothing like a high fenced ranch in Namibia or RSA that is 11,000 acres to god knows how big.
High fencing anything less than 600 acres (ONE SQUARE MILE) and jamming it full of bucks is pretty much a joke of a hunt and the fact that SCI will score those is one reason I am no longer a member. In fact, I could get a buck with great genes, hand feed it every day in a dog pen and give it mineral supplements for antler growth and when he got to be 200+ inches I can promise you I could post pictures on the internet advertising a "hunt" for this buck and some dude with too much money would pay me way too much money to come shoot it in my dog pen and get in the SCI Book.
So all I want to know is if THIS particualr Buffalo lived his life in the wild or lived in a pen and was released into the wild when he was of no more breeding use.
But I guess nobody really owes me an answer because I won't be dropping $18K to go "hunt" him.
I also have 'breeder' bulls and rams. They are in 2ooo acre fenced area. Two kinds of breeder groups: one where only one male are allowed to breed, so the remainder males are removed (very selective breeding. In my case a bought in bull). Secondly: Have a group of animals with very good traits with especially one showing lots of potential and in most cases born from already introduced genes. In this case this specific male is not to be shot until past his prime. While this selection is going on the herd are left in its natural surroundings with more than enough space to be happy and prolific. Maybe this is the case of the bull in question. Do you still get 46 inch bulls in Tanzania?
I think it can be summed up pretty easily. Some hunters want a "trophy size" animal. Others want a specific "experience". So, that being said, there is nothing wrong (in my opinion) with either camp. Some might want to hunt different areas, some might want to know for sure that there is an animal with X number of inches on the property. Whether that be bull, buck, etc. To each his own.
The answer to your question would be yes. :)
The Sea of Grass of Tanzania the Moyowosi game reserve concession area produces some monster cape buffalo bulls each year...with some years a cape buffalo or two that will take you into the 50" range.:)
The Selous Game Reserve also produces some large Bulls in the mid 40" mark.:)
If you are looking You should shop the different outfitters to see what size bulls are being produced for the past few years.
You should note that not every one wants there heads scored for record books status. :) however the current record books are a good guide to use.
If you have an outfitter who harvested 20 cape buffalo bulls and 12 are greater than 40" with the biggest being 45" last season. ask about the season before to see what they have taken. Those are the questions you ask. if your goal is to get a 46" cape buffalo bull you will need to make a lot of phone calls to do your research to find a outfitter and PH that has attained that goal..
When i went i wanted a chance to hit the 40" mark...if i was able to have shot at a 40 inch-er that was great, however my safari would not be a bust if i did not have the chance. that is hunting also knowing that i gave it my all.
I went for the experience and just let each day flow by the PH directions...i was just a small peg in the experience i was able to have...
Memories are what you will bring back above all else...:)
I think there are big buffalo taken in a number of Southern Africa's fine countries...from Namibia, Botswana, RSA, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania. I think the best deal for the dollar might be Zimbabwe and Mozambique. I think there are plenty of fine 40+ inch cape buffalo taken.
I don't think you have to tape a cape buffalo to find he's a fine trophy. But if you are looking for inches, you will have to hunt and put your time in Africa. Masailand and the Selous in Tanzania are pricey....but if I was a true cape buffalo fan...which I'm not...I'd save my money and go there.
I have seen a ton film on the swamps of Mozambique, and truly have seen lots of monster cape buffalo on film!
I think Zimbabwe is affordable for cape buffalo...have seen plenty of nice cape buffalo pictures.
I'm not a cape buffalo hunter....it's not my thing. I would rather hunt sable, roan or kudu any day of the week. And even that is not possible due to the economy. I love plains game hunts, they are more affordable. And bushbuck hunting is to die for!
I think $18,000 is a lot of money. I saw Bushwack post a cape buffalo hunt in RSA around $9800 US and thought that was a awesome deal for RSA.
I would think long and hard before I opened my wallet to spend $18000. What kind of memories will you have at the end of the day?
Sorry this bull has been hunted. On the whole breeding topic Shakey has nailed it. Unfortunately Enysse has again missed the plot.
As James Grage said "Memories are what you will bring back above all else...:)"
That is why THE HUNT is as important as the "trophy size" to me.
If I shoot a record animal in a pasture I don't have much of a memory.
So in the end I still don't know if this Buff lived it's life in a pasture most of it's life or in the bush but I just hope the hunter had a good hunt.
:p...jeez,what ever happened to 'yes please,Heinrich,I'm interested,e-mail me' or 'no thanks,Heinrich,not for me'..?
I guess someone did say yes please and did. Good on him. Their hunt their way.
Best of luck to you Heinrich and your family.
South Africa is a long way off from Namibia and is one of the reason's they have a been getting a bad wrap. Kind of the way here in Texas we are getting a bad wrap for high fences, whitetail breeding programs, etc.. And I would bet money he was/is in a small enclosure. However, the places I have been over there where there wasn't high fences and a value on the game... there was none. The locals run dogs and poach until there is nothing left. I don't agree with every method of hunting out there and there are some things that just aren't for me, but as hunters we have to stick together. Otherwise, instead of fighting against the people trying to take away our hunting rights, we will be wasting time fighting amongst ourselves.
Your experience has been more favorable than mine. I have been to S.A. many times and my airport experience, especially involving firearms, isn't good. Yes, the personnel have always been friendly but friendly only goes so far. The last time I was there they correctly recorded my shotgun's serial numbers but, unnoticed by me, they listed it as a 'rifle'. Therefore I wasn't able to buy 12 gauge ammunition I needed for dove shooting. In that I enjoy pass shooting, it put a real dent in my experience. If my permits had been checked by the police, I could have gotten into significant trouble.
I don't know if things have been better at the Joburg airport since the Olympics, but the high pressure tactics of the many would-be 'porters' verges on the criminal. Because I have business and hunting interests in SA I probably should go there nearly every year but, recently I haven't gone largely because I hate to subject myself to the airport experience.
I'm so down on the airport deal that I've considered other remedies. I've seriously looked into the possibility of purchasing and registering a couple of rifles/shotguns in SA and leaving them there--probably at a police station--for my future use. The permitting process is nearly impossible, though. It's even tough--really tough--for South African citizens trying to obtain a new permit or new weapons. The official governmental policy is to reduce the number of firearms in circulation, not to increase them.
There is one exception, however. Muzzleloaders aren't regarded as firearms. In-line ignition systems using shotgun or rifle primer are, however, illegal. The primer cap MUST be a musket cap. For a person wanting to import a muzzle loading weapon and leaving it in S.A.--which is theoretically legal--might prove technically impossible, anyway. I doubt that the Joburg folks, on entry to the country, would distinguish between a muzzleloader and any other gun. They would require a serial number [which many muzzle loaders don't have] and, once the serial number is recorded, you would have to bring the weapon out of the country.
There is one option, which I am considering. There is a muzzle loader manufacturing company in S.A. known as --I think--M'konto Arms. They make in-line systems that comply with S.A. legal specifications and could be purchased and held in the country.

"4 star service"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 17, 2013
Hotel Coronel is a budget hotel with 4 star service. The staff is consistently courteous and goes out of their way to make sure every guests need is taken care of. They really go beyond the call of duty.
"beautiful place great location, had billing issue"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 18, 2013
This is an old colonial building converted to a hotel. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with good bathroom and good hot showers. My window opened into the balcony of the second courtyard, which meant I didn't get as much light as I might like, but it was quaint. The only issue I had was that hotels.com quoted me a price, but when I arrived they told me it was a mistake and they needed to add tax. I went to the hotel web site and saw their official price was indeed higher. It was a few dollars extra, not worth looking for a different place. On the positive side, they let me have a LATE checkout 6pm free the day I was leaving for my evening flight home.

"great service, good breakfast includedT"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Sep 20, 2012
The hotel staff was very helpful and spoke perfect English except for Sunday; there was one man at the desk all day and evening and he spoke no English. The others were very helpful with every request. The buffet breakfast was very good, as was service. They have two computers available for guests with wifi and that was helpful to us but they were sometimes slow. Within a few blocks were many small shops, a city park, several cathedrals, a double-decker tour bus for city tours, the tourist bureau, and the municipal market - an amazing place to shop with three levels of outstanding produce, as well as meat. Prices are already cheap but if you buy a lot you can bargain. The only drawback for the hotel was the beds - they were too hard for us - and there was a television but with only one channel that ran a loop of CSI programs, nothing else. Overall, I would recommend the hotel as a good one.
"unsung bargain"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jun 26, 2012
My visit Cuenca was enhanced by my stay at the Hotel Milan. My room's balcony overlooked the Plaza del San Francisco with the hills of Banos in the background. It is centrally located for strolling through the center of town only 2 blocks from the city's main Cathedral. The staff catered to every need ( internet use, assisting with baggage supervision after checkout while awaiting an evening flight to Quito, and sharing intimate knowledge of the sights, restaurants, events to see in town. For the price it was an unbelievable bargain.
"Cuenca Hotel in Ecuador - perfect location"Reviewed by John A of "Orlando, FL" on Mar 27, 2012
Nice hotel, great rates, clean rooms. There is no A/C, so rooms can get stuffy. Walking distance to all major sights in CUenca. Hotel food was OK, but nothing to write home about.

More Custom My Little Ponies For All Of You That Didn't Have A REAL Pony As A Kid
No matter how many times I asked or how well I behaved, my dad always refused to get me a pony when I was growing up. Something about them not being allowed in the apartment building. Well I've never forgiven him and had to live out my fantasy of having one by playing with girl's toys and dressing up in my mom's clothes. And I think that's why I'm so drawn to these wonderful creations by AnimeAmy (of My Little Master Chief fame). This is Davy Jones, but after the jump there are a couple Links, a Yoda, and even a little Optimus Prime action. And speaking of prime action, anybody know where I can score a little lovin' around here? *wink wink* And by lovin' I obviously don't mean real love, I'm talking about having sex with a hooker. Although truthfully, I have fallen for several in the past.

He thinks this experience will not only make him and his fiancé a stronger couple, but will also allow them to be tested beyond their limits.
Madeline Mitchell grew up in a small town and was an all-star cheerleader, competitive pageant queen and an avid athlete. In 2008, she was involved in a nearly fatal car accident and was in intensive care for 16 days. After being told she may never walk again and then using a wheelchair for three months, Mitchell was named Miss Alabama before taking second place in the Miss USA competition. She currently teaches third grade and believes that with both her and her fiancé's abilities and different talents, they will be undefeated.
The second team will feature Canden Bliss Jackson, 23, and Donna Nettles Jackson, 51, both from Fairhope, AL. Canden Bliss Jackson grew up in a small Alabama town where she soon discovered a passion for horses and softball. To appease her female family members, she agreed to compete in the Miss Alabama Teen USA pageant in 2007 and won. Soon after, she decided to travel and take a year to study in Italy. Canden craves adventure and believes she can do well on the show, considering her high-level athletic ability as well as strong will and character. She currently works as an on-air host and is looking forward to spending quality time with her mother and working as a team.
Donna Nettles Jackson grew up in a family of four siblings and enjoyed a very privileged life. She eventually started modeling and in 1982 was crowned Miss Hemisphere. She hopes to push herself beyond what is comfortable, to grow along with her daughter, Canden Bliss, make her family proud and prove to the world that "50 can still kick ass!" Donna lives with her husband, Steve, a former NFL player football player as well as her son, who works as a fashion consultant. Adventure and relationship building are the reasons she looks forward to this wonderful opportunity.
Make sure you tune into Alabama Live to catch the interview and much more starting at eleven.

Broward Takes the "Bite" Out of Mosquito Season
Spring and summer brings frequent, heavy rain to Broward County and rain brings mosquitoes. Intense spraying for mosquitoes normally begins in June. Broward County Mosquito Control conducts aerial and ground spraying that target neighborhoods where high populations of the insects have been trapped.
Mosquitoes are not only annoying, they can be a public health issue. The County Biologist regularly traps mosquitos, separates them by species and detects any potential viruses. Findings will determine the chemical application to be used and the type of spraying required.
Three Ways Broward County Residentsor Business Owners May Request Service
Controlling Mosquitoes
The best protection from mosquito-transmitted diseases is to avoid exposure to mosquitoes.
If you require mosquito spraying, call (954) 765-4062 or make an online request.

Cullerton Calls for GOP Candidates' Budget Plans
Updated: Thursday, February 20 2014, 10:46 AM CST
The Illinois Senate President is continuing his call for Republican help
in passing a budget this spring. And on the day of a GOP gubernatorial
debate, he continues his push to get specific budget plans from
candidates now.
We sat down with Senate President John Cullerton
today in his office, and asked why he is so adamant about getting plans
from Republicans now, despite the fact that he helped delay the current
governor's budget address. He told us the governor needed more time
because of the challenges in this year's budget, including a projected
$2.9 billion budget hole--and that's the same reason he needs help from
the GOP.
This is despite the fact that the Democratic party
holds supermajorities in both chambers, and had no trouble quickly
ramming through a Democratic budget in little time last year.
didn't have a $3 billion deficit to make up," Cullerton said. "This is a
much more difficult year, and we've got Republicans running for
governor, who are members of the Senate, who want to be the governor
during this fiscal year. It's different this year. We need to have their
"We have involved ourselves over the years to the extent
that the Senate president was willing to hear what we had to say," Sen.
Matt Murphy (R - Palatine) said. "He doesn't necessarily agree that we
can only spend what taxpayers can afford. He doesn't necessarily agree
that that tax hike was a job killer."
We also asked Cullerton
whether he will push for an extension of the temporary tax hike this
spring. He said he's waiting for the governor to deliver his budget
address in March, because it may offer multiple approaches to closing
the budget hole.
Quinn's budget address was originally scheduled for Wednesday, but it will now be March 26--after the primary election.
is holding a budget hearing Wednesday, and has invited all senators,
including Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady, who are running for governor.
asked if Treasurer Dan Rutherford and businessman Bruce Rauner, who are
also running for governor, are welcome as well. The Senate president
said they are. He said he wants whomever it is that eventually wins the
Republican primary to come to the Senate and House and present their
budget to lawmakers.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
this product quality is not as good as other Gore bike wear products. After 2 times of washes, I found my finger goes through the pocket. I reverse the inside out to see what's going on... I found the pocket was made by pasted on certain tap between the pocket and main body. It's not stitched on it. Anyway....without pocket it still works. Just a little bit dissapoint
Great pants

I like these pants so much, I bought a 2nd pair. They are my 1st choice to take touring and wear them commuting to work.

Got them out this morning 33 degrees with a good wind blowing... Perfect weather to test these bad boys out... Right off the bat these are extremely comfortable ( I got 1 size larger for baggier feel) and the fit was great with a pair of Gore Thermo+ Bibs. I was out on a nippy breezy day and they are 100% windproof and very water resistant... I drop into a creek and water repelled without issue. and the wet part dried extremely quick... Needless to say they are worth the money! So much I got me the 3/4 pants as well. I really recommend getting these for winter mountain bike riding...
Satisfied for a while...
Juan Carlos Olaya
Member since
Well? I finally received them and I couldn't wait to try them on... I have pretty thick muscular legs, so I opted for the XL, I may have gotten away with a Large as they seem roomier than that ALP-X 2.0 pants. but the fit is extremely comfortable and they are not falling off me... I figured if they feel a bit loose, I can get them taken in. The feel is soft extremely comfy and really can't beat 2 in one with the zip-offs... it is a rainy day today and was able to test them right away... they are NOT waterproof but extremely water resistant. I personally really like the attention to detail on the velcro and even velcro on the button... I had returned a pair of Enduras because the button wouldn't stay clipped.
Overall I am already a fan of Gore Bike Wear and I know that I'll have these pants for many years to come... Bring it on Winter!!!!
I would like to thank Clay D. who what the chat rep who helped me get this in time for the weekend. His service and patience was SUPERB!!! needless to say reps like him is what makes real cyclist the place for me to shop online for my bike needs.

I'm 6 ft 1 in, and in between the medium and large on the sizing chart. Do these fit true, or small?
Wally Phillips

Hey elm5340148,
Thanks for your question. The Gore Bike Wear Fusion SO Pant fits pretty true to size so you can size up if you like a slightly baggy feel or down if you are looking for a tighter, more athletic feel.

Great Pants!!
Member since
These pants are excellent. They do totally block the wind but still don't allow the sweat the build up. They have all the features you could want. My preference would be for them not to be zip offs because you can feel the seam a bit. However, I have other hiking zip offs and these are more comfortable then those so I do recommend them and would buy them again.
Great pants
Member since
Wore these during my adventure race; great pants for cycling/running/orienteering.

SRAM Goes Hydraulic
This past weekend I joined a number of my colleagues in Westlake Village, California, for the introduction of a number of new products from SRAM. There was a lot on offer, more than they could cover in a two-hour presentation at Sea Otter, hence the get-together. We got to ride much of the new stuff hitting the market and in an environment suited to the mission. I'll get to the riding in a minute; first, a list.
So SRAM introduced the following:
- An upgrade of the popular Red group to 11-speed
- A revamped Force group with hoods shaped like those in Red and an 11-speed cassette
- Hydraulic rim brakes
- Zipp 303s with discs
- Hydraulic disc brakes for Red
While I did pick up the new Force parts to check them out, I didn't have the chance to ride them, so all I really feel qualified to do—other than regurgitate the press release—is to tell you that group will hit the market soon and the suggested retail on the group will be $1358, about half of Red 22′s $2618 price tag. According to the company's scales, the refined group will come in at 2150 grams, putting it in the neighborhood, weight-wise, with Chorus and Dura-Ace 7900, making the Force group a notable value, at least on paper.
For mechanical Red, the only significant change is the addition of an 11th cog. So why is SRAM making a big deal about calling this group 22-speed? It goes to their assertion that users will have a true 22 speeds even without the presence of a trimable front derailleur. Shimano went in the other direction with their new 9000-series Dura Ace. The wide spread on an 11-speed cassette is going to demand a very carefully adjusted front derailleur to avoid chain rub in the big and small cogs, no matter which chainring the chain is on.
As a more practical matter, because SRAM continues to start every flippin' Red cassette with an 11t cog, the addition of another cog means that all the cassettes (save the 11-32 WiFLi) now sport a 16t cog. It's nice having that 16, but if they'd offer a 12-26 and a 12-28, you'd then have the 16 and an 18. I'm willing to wager all the beer in Yankee Stadium that nine out of 10 cyclists would use an 18t cog far more than they use an 11. As to the 11-32 WiFLi cassette, an 11th cog there gives the the very noticeable addition of a 14t cog. In the past, when I rode the 10-speed Red with an Apex rear derailleur and the 11-32 cassette, I can tell you that the jump from the 15 to the 13 felt like I'd over-shifted with an Ergo lever. It was a big jump.
Mechanical Red remains the lightest complete group on the market, at a claimed weight of 1747g.
When I first arrived at our host location, I wasn't sure just what I would see, other than 11 cogs. So I walked over to the NRS tents to see what the mechanics were up to. It was there that I noticed one of the mechanics bleeding a hydraulic brake system. From a road lever.
Well okee-dokee.
This would be the spot in the program where it's a good idea for me to back up and remind everyone that I have written previously about just how skeptical I am of the need and utility of hydraulic brakes, particularly hydraulic discs, on road bikes. Honestly, I when I noticed what was afoot, I was a bit surprised that Michael Zellmann, the head of road PR for SRAM, had invited me. I mean, this was like pitching Dura-Ace to a guy who'd inherited his love of Campy from his dad. I do my best to be open-minded, but at every turn I had questions about just what sort of solution hydraulic discs offered.
Let's recap those concerns, shall we?
- If you boil your brake fluid on a descent, your brakes can fail.
- Generally, you want the bike to offer some vertical flex at the dropouts; disc brakes would demand beefing up the fork and stays.
- Many mountain bike disc brake system offer poor modulation. Road bike brakes need to offer great modulation.
- Pad retraction is an issue on many mountain bike brake systems. Roadies won't put up with rubbing brakes.
- Disc brakes won't improve a bike's aerodynamics.
- The hydraulic lines will require working hand-in-glove with manufacturers to offer suitable frames.
- There isn't enough room in control levers to add a master cylinder.
- It'll make the bike heavier. Roadies are allergic to heavier.
Last summer, I went for a ride with Brent Graves, the head of road product for Specialized. We discussed disc brakes quite a bit. It was hard not to detect his enthusiasm. So I posed each of my concerns to him. Damn that guy, he came back with the same answer each time.
"It's an engineering issue," he'd say with the confidence of a pilot who's flown to Tokyo once a week for 10 years. "It's just engineering."
At that point I realized I should probably just shut up and wait to see what happens. What I didn't know (because he didn't tell me) was that he was already riding a disc-brake-equipped prototype of the Specialized Roubaix. What he did tell me was that I could expect to see hydraulic discs on road bikes at a variety of price points perhaps as early as 2015, but certainly by 2016.
Then it was me again with the skepticism. And then, damn his intelligence, he noted that every time there had been a significant shift in the market, it had begun with the curiosity of innovators and early adopters—the bleeding edge—and then as the idea caught on, refinement of the technology to make it both affordable and palatable to the masses.
Did someone just say iPhone?
Because not all bike companies will begin developing a frame to accept the disc brakes immediately and also because even by their own admission hydraulic discs won't be right for all applications, SRAM is offering a hydraulic rim brake. Terminology-wise, they are referring to the class of products as "Hydro R" to denote hydraulic road. The disc brake is HRD, while the rim brake is HRR. As you can tell from the photos, the master cylinder is located in the inflamed thyroid of the lever bump. Let it be said that no one will ever be able to complain about the bump on SRAM road levers being too small any more.
Specialized is actively spec'ing a Roubaix with the discs and Cannondale has a version of the SuperSix EVO with the hydraulic calipers. This is no longer bleeding edge, this is leading edge.
So that's the what. In my next post I'll cover my experience of actually riding each of the options with Red 22: mechanical, HRR and then HRD.

Ginobili voted as one of the best floppers
In a player's survey conducted by Sports Illustrated, 152 NBA players feel San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili is one of the NBA's best floppers:
As president of the National Basketball Players Association, Fisher has a certain clout among his peers around the league. But that doesn't mean they like how he plays. Sports Illustrated ran a player's poll this week, asking 152 participants, "Who is the best flopper in the game?" Fisher received 6 percent of the votes. The top vote-getter was Cleveland's Anderson Varejao (22 percent), followed by Ginobili (18 percent) and Houston's Luis Scola (7 percent) and Kevin Martin (5 percent).
In a twist of irony, the Spurs will be facing the Houston Rockets tonight and their former draftee, Luis Scola who received 7 percent of the votes as one of the best floppers.
However, for Scola, he says it's not his long hair that accentuates the flop and points to Ginobili's hair or lack their of:.
Scola said it is not the long hair that accentuates the fall and earns flopper reputation, citing Ginobili.
"Manu has no hair, long or short," Scola said.
Only Scola can get away with making fun of Ginobili's bald spot seeing how they are countrymen.
Speaking of tonight's Spurs-Rockets game, former Spurs' draftee and newest member of the Rockets, Goran Dragic, says he likes to play against San Antonio:
"I always play good against San Antonio," Dragic said. "I don't know why. I like their style, how they play. I feel comfortable against those guys. For us, it's going to be a huge game."
In three games against San Antonio, Dragic has averaged eight points and 4.7 assists and I'm sure Spurs fans remember what he did to San Antonio as a member of the Phoenix Suns in last season's playoffs.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Energy projected that annual Central Appalachian Coal production -- mostly consisting of Southern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky -- would be cut in half by 2035. And, during the first quarter of 2012, coal's share of U.S. electricity generation dropped to 36 percent, far below the 50 percent still frequently cited by industry supporters.
In Tuesday's announcement, Alpha officials focused on how they believe their "strategic repositioning plan" would "meet the evolving demands of a changing global coal market."
"The focus and shape of our company need to change to reflect our new business environment," said Paul Vining, Alpha's president. "We must have a nimble operating model, superior cost management and an overhead structure that matches our streamlined operational footprint.
"We recognize these changes will impact our people, suppliers and communities in some areas where we operate," Vining said. "Alpha is committed to acting transparently and responsibly throughout the transition with respectful consideration of our people and all other stakeholders."
Despite what it called a "current market softness" for steel-making, or metallurgical coal, Alpha said new mills are being planned or are under construction in developing areas of Asia, South America and elsewhere that provide long-term growth opportunities.
"As the third-largest supplier of metallurgical coal globally, Alpha has 25-30 million tons of export capacity through the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico which is partially untapped, giving Alpha the capability to scale up exports swiftly," the company said.
Regarding steam coal, used to make electricity, Alpha said its focus is on operations with "competitive cost positions" and "more stable customer demand -- such as supplying base-load power plants and generating units that will survive a stricter regulatory regime."
Last year, Alpha produced about 106 million tons of coal, split about evenly between eastern and western mines, according to corporate disclosures. Metallurgical mines, located exclusively in the east, accounted for just 18 percent of Alpha's total production in 2011, but half of the company's revenues, company report show.

Periférico 5000, Col. Insurgentes Cuicuilco, C.P. 04530, Delegación Coyoacán, México D.F., Mexico 3Instituto Mexicano del Petróleo, Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas 152, Col. San Bartolo Atepehuacan. Delegación Gustavo A. Madero. 07730, México, D.F, Mexico 4CIEMAT, Avda. Complutense 22, 28040 Madrid, Spain Abstract. Levels of PM10, PM2.5 and PM1 and chemical speciation of PM10 and PM2.5 were measured during the MILAGRO campaign (1 to 31 March 2006, but extended in some cases until 6 April) at four urban, one suburban, two rural, two rural background sites with different degree of industrial influence in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) and adjacent regions. PM10 and PM2.5 daily levels varied between 50–56 μg/m³ and 24–46 μg/m³ at the urban sites, 22–35 μg/m³ and 13–25 μg/m³ at the rural sites, and 75 μg/m³ and 31 $\mu $g/m³ at the industrial hotspot, respectively; lower than those recorded at some Asian mega-cities and similar to those recorded at other South American cities. At the urban sites, hourly PM2.5 and PM1 concentrations showed a marked impact of road traffic emissions (at rush hours), with levels of coarse PM remaining elevated during daytime. At the suburban and rural sites, different PM daily patterns were registered according to the influence of the pollution plume from MCMA and also on local soil resuspension. The speciation studies showed that mineral matter accounted for 25–27% of bulk PM10 at the urban sites and a higher proportion (up to 43%) at the suburban and rural sites. This pattern is repeated in PM2.5, with 15% at urban and 28% at suburban and rural sites. Carbonaceous compounds accounted for a similar proportion at the urban sites (24–32% in PM10, and up to 37% in PM2.5), markedly reduced at the suburban and rural sites (17% in PM10, and 23–38% in PM2.5). The secondary inorganic aerosols accounted for 10–20% of bulk PM10 at urban, suburban, rural and industrial sites, with a higher proportion (40%) at the industrial background site. A relatively high proportion of nitrate in rural sites was present in the coarse fraction. Typically anthropogenic elements (As, Cr, Zn, Cu, Pb, Sn, Sb, Ba, among others) showed considerably high levels at the urban sites; however levels of particulate Hg and crustal trace elements (Rb, Ti, La, Sc, Ga) were generally higher at the suburban site. Principal component analysis identified three common factors: crustal, regional background and road traffic. Moreover, some specific factors were obtained for each site.

Tia Mowry took her family to SeaWorld San Diego this week, touring the marine-life park with husband Cory Hardrict and their 15-month-old son, Cree, on Tuesday.
"Yay!!! So excited about our day today!!!" Mowry Tweeted.
The Mowry-Hardricts encountered bat rays, killer whales and sea lions, but got some extra time with Steimie, the park's 21-year-old bottlenose dolphin.
Steimie wasn't the only friend the family made during their day at the park. "Having a blast at Sea World!!!" Mowry later wrote. "We got to see Elmo!!!"
