(AP) -- The aunt of a blind Longview man last seen Sunday is asking the public for help locating him.
Mary Martin said Thursday that the family is worried something bad might have happened to her nephew, 30-year-old Gaylon Bradley.
"This is six days now, and we've had some rainy, icy nights, and if he's laying out there hurt at night, he might be done froze. That's the scary part," she said.
Police spokeswoman Kristie Brian said Bradley was last seen walking away from his grandmother's home Sunday in the 1200 block of Eighth Street in North Longview.
He was last seen wearing a black leather coat, blue jeans and a T-shirt, Brian said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Longview Police Department at (903) 237-1199.

No Public Safety Agency Is an Island
Thomas J. Kuhlmann and Tarquin Morkel provide a case study of a Utah agency that demonstrates interoperability is within reach for smaller agencies.

When It Rains, It Pours! Lessons Learned When Spring Storms Flood Dispatch Center with Calls No Public Safety Agency Is an Island By THOMAS J. KUHLMANN and TARQUIN MORKEL Utah County Agencies Demonstrate Interoperability Is Within Reach for Smaller Agencies
As public safety agencies consider the future, many officials see a dire need for greater interagency cooperation. When potential natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other critical incidents strike, individual agencies need to be part of a well-coordinated multi-agency response. Single agencies - especially smaller organizations - may lack the capacity to confront large threats alone.
Agencies must create forums where leaders can discuss mutually important issues and develop joint strategies in order to work together successfully. They must also join together to create interoperable communication networks: infrastructure and technology that lets first responders and other public safety personnel share vital, real-time information during critical incidents and day-to-day operations. Isolated systems, which are "islands of communication," must be integrated into a constantly flowing ocean of cohesive, interoperable networks.
The 9/11 attacks highlighted the importance of interoperability. During these incidents, first responders were unable to exchange critical information due to incompatible communication systems and suffered tragic casualties. Since 9/11, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been fostering interoperability at local, state and federal levels. However, the DHS is making limited progress, because agencies continue to struggle with difficult challenges such as scarce funding; retraining; unsuitable technology; divergent or competing strategic visions; and managing difficult organizational transitions. The widely controversial response to Hurricane Katrina, four years after the 9/11 attacks, suggests that most public safety agencies still lack the capability to share crucial information during a crisis.
More evidence of challenges to nationwide interoperability came from SAFECOM in December 2006, when it released the results of its National Interoperability Baseline Survey. The extensive study is a snapshot that reveals enduring barriers to interoperability despite measures of success in certain areas: at least a third of the nation's public safety organizations still do not have any ability to interoperate with local, state and federal agencies - smaller agencies are lagging the furthest behind. The remaining two-thirds have developed varying degrees of interoperability. However, state-to-local - and to a lesser extent local-to-local - interoperability remains weak. The SAFECOM study recognizes that "the nation as a whole falls largely into the early stages (of interoperability)." SAFECOM is a communications program of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC).
Utah Agencies Make Progress
A number of Utah public safety agencies have spent the past three years creating interoperable networks that serve as exemplars. These case studies provide insight that needs to be communicated throughout the public safety community. As agencies share knowledge, we can develop more effective strategies. Agencies within Utah are quickly becoming recognized as pioneers in the interoperability field, because the state created the first truly interoperable, information-sharing network that integrates over 125 local, state and federal organizations.
Utah County, which is the second-largest county in Utah and serves roughly 25% of the state's population, is an important part of this network. The county's information-sharing network lets 22 fire departments and 18 EMS organizations communicate with all agencies and at all levels. Agencies in Utah County share many characteristics with smaller agencies around the nation. Provo Fire & Rescue, for instance, serves a community of 115,000 within a 42-plus-square-mile area, and operates on an annual budget of less than $7 million. Lehi Fire/EMS serves a community of 32,000 with two full-time personnel, a chief and a captain, plus five volunteer officers and 38 volunteer firefighters. Many similar agencies around the U.S. can easily identify with these agencies and apply Utah County's experience in their own environments.

The 10 best co-op PC gamesComments 9
Games offer up magic in lots of different guises. Its best spell though is bringing us together in multiplayer. But whilst competitive death matches and tense capture-point games may be brilliant, it's working in harmony with other players rather than against them that can provide some of gaming's true high points.
In co-operative gaming you can explore new worlds with a buddy by your side, triumph over evil as a team, introduce a novice to the wonder of the medium, or simply just beat each other over the head with questionable weaponry for kicks. These are ten of the very best co-op games for you to share with your favourite people.

C-Note Imperial Pale Ale - New Old Lompoc Brewery
Displayed for educational use only; do not reuse.
Ratings: 154 | Reviews: 92 | Display Reviews Only:
3.68/5 rDev -5.2%
Glowing firelight orange with a brick red influence that adds warmth and character. The whipped creamy crown maxed out at two fingers and is midway between pale gold and pastel orange in color. Gobs of glass decoration solidify what was already a pretty solid appearance score.
The nose doesn't quite make it over the hump. Any beer that calls itself Imperial Pale Ale, uses 7 of the best American hops in existence, and claims to 'push 100 IBUs' needs to be more explosively hoppy than this. I get a whiff of brown sugary caramel malt and two whiffs of grapefruit peel.
C-Note Imperial Pale Ale is a poor man's Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. It has the same pale-caramel malt backbone, only it isn't as sturdy as it could be in this beer. The biggest reason for flavor similarity is hop similarity. C-Note uses a combination of Crystal, Cluster, Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, Columbus and Challenger. Celebration uses Centennial, Cascade and Chinook.
Positives include a firm smack of hoppiness and decent hop flavor. Negatives include a relative shortage of malt and a smidgen too much unmasked alcohol. The malt tastes more toasted-earthy-nutty than English toffee-like. Still, this is pretty good beer as long as one doesn't compare it to the greats.
The body/mouthfeel is midway between IPA and DIPA, leaning more toward the former. It's polished glassy smooth (not easy with this many alpha acids) and has an ideal amount of carbonation. The mouthfeel's quality wasn't appreciated until it was focused on. That's called 'sneaky good'.
Since C-Note IPA doesn't quite reach 100 IBUs, the name isn't an accurate one. Oh well, XCVII IBU Ale probably wouldn't have sold very well. Despite its derivative flavor, this is a good drinker if you have that hop monkey on your back. I'll be interested to see what New Old Lompoc can do with a few other styles.

Appearance: Pours a clearish, deep, dark amber body with a frothy, white head.
Smell: Fragrant nose of caramel-coated and candied oranges, lemon, and mangoes with a garnish of shimmering, oily grapefruit peel.
Taste: Sweet caramel and crystal maltiness setup a sturdy base for the bright hop character. Citric, moderately bitter hop flavors of fruit and resinous pine. Finishes bittersweet, though only the raw hop bitterness remains for the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Touch of toothsome stickiness to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Well, that was pretty good. A pleasant, hoppy lil' gem from Lompoc.

Poures a deep some what murky burnt orange with a large fluffy slight off white head that settles nicely into a creamy mass leaving broken chunks of lace behind.Honestly more malt driven aromas than the big hops I expected,caramel malt stands out along with some brown sugar,the hops provide a leafy herbalness in the back end.A big sweet caramel base dominates from the start along with slight alcohol and drunkin peaches,some leafy hop rounds this out.100 IBU's really?I mean its a pretty good beer but again another DIPA thats much to big in the sweet flavor department.

Thanks to skourtis for this one!
Pours a beautiful dark amber with almost ruby-ish hues. A thin tan/off-white head leaves nice lacing.
The smell is of pine/resin with some grapefruit/citrus.
The taste is very hoppy - piney, spicy, resiny, citric (grapefruity), yet with a toffee/caramel maltiness adding to the character. This is an Imperial Pale more than an Imperial IPA, as noted on the bottle, as the malt stays in balanced. A souped up pale ale done well!
It has a full-side of medium, firm body.
Alcohol shows perhaps a bit more than the 6.9% and it has quite a strength to it. Yet, still a "drinkable" brew. Very enjoyable with both hops and malt playing in well - as an Imperial pale should!

Draft at Chuck's 85th Street Market in Seattle, WA.
Pours a dark copper color with golden amber edges and a 1.5 finger off-white head that quickly settles into a thin ring. Sporadic spots of lace left behind.
Earthy hop aroma with lots of floral, grassy pine countered by sweet malt. Floral but the hop character is a bit one dimensional and the malt presence is a bit stronger than I prefer. Hints of caramel, toffee and biscuit counter the resinous pine presence.
Medium bodied with a blast of dry, sticky hops that dominate the flavor, lingering over the sweeter notes into a bone dry finish. Very earthy and bitter with lots of sticky pine needle and grass overpowering the palate. As it warms, a prominent sweet malt character comes forward with hints of toffee, caramel and bread. There's also a bit of alcohol heat/sweetness toward the finish. Decently balanced but not very interesting. Not a bad beer but I probably wouldn't order it again.

On-tap at the brewpub, served in a pint glass. I had this right after the LSD and this was my favorite of the two. I mean, sure, I found the initial hop flavor lacking for my taste. (Maybe a little more dry-hopping would be nice.) But there's still a big, earthy kick of citrus hops that sticks with you. All in all, a tasty beer.

A: Poured a orange copperish color with good carbonation with a nice white cap
S: Fresh hops, fruit and flowers. Really simple and straightforward
T: Good. An Imeperial Pale not IPA which really could influence rating. As a Imperial Pale the taste is good. Grains, a bit of bread and caramel, tad bits of fruit and some floral notes. Lighter booze.
M: Medium body, well carbonated, a bit slick and resiny
D: Good

A 650 mL bottle picked up from Liquid Solutions.
A: The DIPA is a a darker amber color, a fuller brown color with red hues. Despite the darker color, the ale is interrupted by neither sediment nor haze. A finger and a half of white foam has left a trail of lace.
S: The nose is loaded with caramel malts, more than I expected from a double IPA. That sweetness is amplified by piney hops, resiny with a floral finish.
T: The first sip reveals more hops than the nose let on. That increased bitterness adds much needed punch. Pine notes are amplified by grapefruit and citrus flavors. The floral notes in the nose are translated into the grapefruit and pepper flavors present here. The caramel malts subside a bit and, as a result, allow more hops to emerge. The bitterness is impressive in light of the relatively low alcohol. A very mild DIPA.
M: The mouthfeel is fairly bitter, especially at the end. A touch of heat mid-sip really kicks things up.
D: A decent DIPA, nothing fancy or over-the-top. I'd be content with another bomber or two.

Pours a nice hazy golden dark orange color, nice carbonation, nice one-finger creamy tan head, with some very nice thick/creamy sticky lacing left behind. The nose is hoppy, with some malts, nice citrus notes, very slight pines. The taste is slightly sweet, hoppy, malty, with some nice citrus, and slight pine notes. Medium body. Drinkable, this is my first from this brewery. I would not call this an Double/Imperial IPA.

Had on tap at the Brass (Horsebrass pub) in Portland.
The beer pours a darkish amber color with very good head retention and lacing. On the nose, predictiably, there is a huge hop nose of citrus and pine. The beer smells like a hopheads dream and comes across as a serious DIPA. On the palate there is more then your normal underlying sweet malt in this West Coast IPA, but with a huge amount of hoppy bitterness to counter it. This is really much more like an East Coast DIPA then a West Coast IPA/DIPA. The huge hops are present all the way through, giving the beer a long, bitter, hoppy finish. The mouthfeel in this beer is decent, but the alcohol is a bit more noticeable then I'd like, especially considering it's only a 6.9% abv. beer. The beer actually seems a bit heavy and tiring to drink, and frankly I'm surprised the abv. is only 6.9. Hmmmm...
All in all, still a very good IPA from New Old Lompoc.

Pours an amber color liquid, below average head, yet the carbonation was ample. Lacking in the aroma department, just smelled of astringency and alcohol.
Taste was massively bitter, lacking any tangible dry hopping effect in the mouthfeel. Just super long hop boil I'm guessing with Cascades. Similar to Hopsickle, but w/o the heavy, darker malt and caramel feel to Hopsickle (and w/o as many hops). The mouthfeel does mellow out eventually and the beer becomes decently drinkable. I've had worse in style, I've had better.
If you like long bittering hop boils, this is probably the beer for you. If you're a bigger fan of dry hopping, this probably is not the beer for you.
These are not the droids you're looking for.

I rarely add a second review of the same beer ith the only difference being serving style, but I found enough variation to justify it here.
Served in a fluted goblet. Poured a medium honey/amber color with a half inch of off-white head that had OK retention and lacing.
The aroma was a bit on the malty side but had a nice zing of hops. The bber was malty-sweet, but had a noticeable hop presence throughout and a citrus hop finish.
The body was very good, full, smooth and even. Drinkability was very good, especially if you like your Pales hoppy.
Overall, a very nice beer that borders on being an IPA. Worth trying when you see it.

3.28/5 rDev -15.5%
Pours a mild amber with a one-finger head into my glass. Average color for the style. I always like the brighter ones.
A lot of pine hop essence upfront in the nose. Not much to go by otherwise. The ABV is the first sign that this may not actually be an Imperial IPA.
The taste reflects the aroma. There is more of a focus on pine than citrus with the hop selection.
Bitterness with biscuity bread make up the mouthfeel. Wow. The alcohol is still quite strong, despite the lack of ABV.
Hopheads should definitely check this out.

3.79/5 rDev -2.3%
Poured fro a bomber into a shaker pint, the beer is a vibrant, slightly hazed, caramel coloring with a thin, filmy, clingy, bright white surface coat of head. Aromas of roasted caramel, tangy sweet mango, passion fruit, and pineapple, and resiny, floral hops. Smells like a sweet, tangy explosion. Flavors of tangy sweet tropical fruits initially, with a blending of mango and pineapple most apparent. Roasted undertone, with a hoppy blend of pepper and oregano cleaning things up a bit. Malty, with a robust blast from every aspect on the palate. No pulled punches in this brew. I would love to see what this beer would be like fresh-hopped. The aftertaste is tangy sweet and smooth, with a slick, smooth, clean finish. The palate becomes very balanced with rich sweetness and light, citrus tart at the end of the brew. Great beer, very easy to drink.

Ok, the new label caught my eye.
A - Pours a very dark orange with a thin tan head. Good retention and some nice lacing.
S - Carmel and pine.
T - Mild toast and slight pine.
D - Solid carbonation and an average body.
O - Underwhelmed here. not much of a hop presence.

Poured on draft in a shaker pint, the c-note is a hazy dull bronze with a thin, firm, eggshell head that leaves lots of thick, foamy lace.
The nose is moderate, sweet bread dough malt, floral hops and brown sugar. Not as pungent as I expected with the 7 variety hop bill.
The taste is also malty, gingerbread, with piny, spicy hops and a firm bitter backbone, smoother then I expected, hoppy but not overwhelming. Also, not very sweet, in contrast to the nose.
The mouthfeel is on the lighter side, particularly in light of the ABV, with low carbonation and lots of hop oils.
While this is not the most in your face big IPA, its very tasty and smooth, and easy drinking.

Poured from 22oz bomber into a pint glass.
Appearance: rich amber-orange hue with a thick finger of frothy tan foam. I like it.
Smell: floral, spicy and funky aroma. It almost smells like there's a touch of rye in here, but that could just be spicy hops. Not bad, but not entirely to my taste.
Taste: rich malty aroma with a bracing and slightly abrasive bitterness at the end. Hops themselves are floral and a little resiney. Not bad at all.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and concomitant creaminess. I like it.
Overall: this is a pretty tasty beer, but something about the abrasiveness of the hops make it less than highly drinkable. I like it well enough, but probably would not seek it out again.

Vibrant orange colour with a fluffy off-white head. Good head retention and nice lacing.
Bright orange and mandarin aroma with some bitter grapefruit rind. Nicely crafted hop bill but with just a bit too much sweetness here for me.
Smooth, rich caramelised malts with a hefty dose of bitterness and some good citrus hops. A little too malty.
Medium full body with moderate carbonation. Fine.
This is a decent beer with some good hop character. It's just a pity about the maltiness.

2.95/5 rDev -24%
Appearance - This IPA is a bright shiny brown in color with the promise of a strong, hardy malt base. The head is a beautiful off-white and will last the night if you let it.
Smell - The big sharp pine and light herbs blows the doors down. The malt is scarce though.
Taste - The utter lack of anything resembling a malt base took away from the wonderful piney hop profile.
Mouthfeel - This is light-bodied, which is way too light for this ale. Without the malt base it became unpleasantly bitter. Even if you enjoy bitter beer, which I do, you won't like this.
Drinkability - I love the hops, but hop water without an ounce of balancing malt is just pointless.

TEAMS: New York Jets
Darrelle Revis is considered one of the best defensive backs in the NFL currently, but is Revis the best New York Jets defensive back of all time? You'll have to read to find out, as we go down the list of the greatest defensive backs in New York Jets history starting with number 6 Burgess Owens.
6. Burgess Owens
Burgess Owens was drafted by the New York Jets in the 1973 draft 13th overall out of the University of Miami. At safety Owens started the majority of the time he was with the Jets from 1973-1979 and was a Pro Bowl alternate in the 1982 season. As a rookie in 1973 Owens returned an 82 yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Denver Broncos on October 28, 1973, which was the only kickoff return for touchdown in the 1970's for the Jets.… Read more

Review: Santa Cruz Tallboy Aluminum
By Maurice Tierney
The kids at Santa Cruz Bicycles went straight to carbon fiber when they came out with their first 29er, the Tallboy, in late-to-the-game 2009. I have to say that this bike made quite an impression on the scene. Good move to go with carbon first; the Tallboy quelled the fears and stoked the aspirations of many a rider with its lightweight frame and stellar performance. I reviewed the carbon version in Issue #148 and liked it enough to keep it around.
Nowadays, nearly every bike company on the planet is going full steam ahead with 29ers. Some even staking their entire line on big wheels. The 29er movement has even taken hold at Santa Cruz. And by movement, I mean the whole enchilada, because while SCB offers 15 other mountain bike models, the Tallboy is their best selling individual model.
The bike
Since we're just working stiffs here at the 'Rag, we get real excited when a solid bike comes in at a price point attainable by mere mortals. Enter the $2,299 aluminum Tallboy complete. While SCB normally operates with a pick-your-kit bike purchasing method (Will that be XT or X0, madam?), spec'ing a complete bike with a carefully selected assortment of parts can result in an affordable, yet functional package. It's a beautiful thing.
There are certain advantages to aluminum. I am definitely less worried about scratches, crashing or throwing my bike around when it's made of metal. Aside from that, there isn't a heck of a lot different between the alloy and carbon Tallboys. Rear travel (102mm) is the same. Head and seat tube angles (71-degrees/73-degrees, respectively) are the same. Same VPP suspension, same angular contact bearings, same grease ports to lube said bearings.
The lower pivot on the alloy model is offset, making it easier to run different chainring combinations or a chainguide. Other than that, the differences between the aluminum and carbon Tallboy come down to more weight and less money: the aluminum frame weights approximately 1.25lbs. more than the carbon version, but costs $700 less. You do the math.
So that's the frame. You can hang any parts you like on it. But the story here is of a complete bike at a down-to-earth price point. How'd SCB get there? What, if any, corners had to be cut? The drivetrain is a mix of Shimano Deore and SLX. Good functional, serviceable stuff, just not the lightest and not the "finest". Then there's the fork, a RockShox Recon Silver with steel stanchions, and a pair of tires with wire beads.
As for some other parts, the Easton bar, stem and seatpost are of the EA30 variety. They look more expensive than they are, and while they're on the heavy side, they sure don't look cheap. The Avid Elixir One brakes stop as well as Avid's fancier models, they just lack the bells and whistles—I kinda like 'em simple like this. All in all, solid, serviceable stuff, not too heavy or light. My XL test bike weighs near 32lbs. That's 5lbs. more than the XT/Fox fork-equipped carbon bike I tested.
The ride
Simply put, I'd say this bugger rides 90% as well as its pricey carbon sibling, and may do some things better. On a recent ride I was able to swap the aluminum Tallboy for the previously tested carbon model. Sure the carbon model is quicker to accelerate, snappier to handle, and offers a stiffer chassis, but these small differences in performance did not affect the joy of the ride at all. Another thought that came into my brain was the heavier bike fit my heavier fitness level. I'm a rider who is happy bringing up the rear on group rides. Do the extra pounds make any difference to my enjoyment of the ride? No, but the extra cash in my wallet does. Something to think about, is it not?
The other story is in the wheelbase. My last test ride (Breezer Cloud 9, issue #158) had a wheelbase 50mm shorter than the Tallboy's 113.5cm, which resulted in a style change moving to the Tallboy. Not picking lines so much, but plowing over anything in my way. While switchbacks felt a bit tighter, rock gardens were rolled over with authority. On steep drops the long wheelbase and chainstays gave me some confidence that I would not endo. And on steep, sustained climbs the large cockpit gave me room to breathe, sitting or standing.
Limitations? I was pretty darn satisfied with the way everything worked. While I lamented the lack of a thru-axle on the Recon fork, I did come to believe that the steel upper tubes were adding some stiffness to the front end. This made me less likely to call for an early fork upgrade. I say ride the Recon now and upgrade later. With fewer adjustments to make, the RP2 shock seemed to have limitations as well. I deciphered a bit more pedal-induced motion from the suspension in certain less-efficient gear combinations than with the RP23 I rode on the carbon Tallboy, but generally, it was good as VPP gets.
Final thoughts
I really liked the carbon Tallboy. It typifies everything Santa Cruz has to offer. But I have to say I enjoyed the value of the aluminum version even more than I enjoyed a fancy $4,900 carbon wonderbike. At $1,850 for the frame and $2,299 for the complete bike, this bike is a steal. Black or clear are two fine color selections, hope you like one of them.

Blast from the past: the Stutterin' Prick
Editor's note: I dragged out this post from our old forums about our founder and publisher's legendary singlespeed, the Stutterin' Prick. Note, this was written a decade ago, in 2002. The bike remains virtually unchanged to this day.
By Maurice Tierney
The real story of my one speed, named after a Joe Peshi line in what movie?
Here's the deal: The story from 24 hours of Canaan this year (2002) is the story of a ten-year-old bike that has not passed its prime: Stutterin' Prick.
Stutterin' Prick is a 1989 Team Stumpjumper, Specialized's top of the line steel bike for that year. Just like Ned and Lisa rode. Came with Tange Prestige tubing, full XT group, Biopace rings. The works. And fortunately, most bike companies, like Specialized, had by 1989 given up on the under-the-chainstay U-brake.
My second mountain bike, it was. Served me well. But over the years, it fell by the wayside. For purposes of spiritual revival and megatrend research, I had some track dropouts installed by Ted Wojcik for a one-speed conversion. Ted was then asked to paint it whatever color he had laying around. Make it ugly, I said. Maroon it was. What a maroon.
The full XT group is long gone, replaced by a minimum of parts, namely Paul Hubs, brakes and levers, Salsa 1″ quill stem, WTB Ti bar in 24″ width, an old Ground Control Umma Gumma 2.5″ tire for the pneumatic suspension up front, a skinnier, knobby Geax tire in back for traction, WTB Powerbeam rims (Laced three cross by Scotty at Dirty Harry's), stainless steel King cages, and Bullseye 190mm cranks. The Bullseyes are a key feature of this bike as the 190mm length allows me to put down a load of torque when I need to. I ordered the Bullseyes with a 34-tooth chainring, and put a 20 on the back. This choice may be slow for flat sections, but it's great on hills.
Screw the trendiness. Ten years later, and this machine has raised my consciousness, my self-esteem, and the level of my riding skill. We just got back from 24 hours of Canaan, where Stutterin' and me rode 2 laps with an open team from NYC that I found in the lodge looking for a rider. My 1:37 day lap was comparable to what I'm usually capable of on a geared bike, suspended or not. It's amazing what you can do if you put your mind to it. Prick was able to ride probably 90 percent of the course, especially the long grind up the road. A couple of really steep uphills were conquered on foot. This offered relief for my back and legs. Downhills were handled amazingly well, the precision of the rigid fork offered total control. And the rigid-fork beating was not that bad.
I don't know why, but this baby rides like a dream. Uphill or down. Could be that the geometry chosen in 1989 is still valid today. 71/71 angles, 16.9″ chainstays, 11.6″ bottom bracket, 23.75″ top tube and 1.65″ fork rake.
Maintenance? Well the low-end model Ritchey 1″ headset did come loose a little, but that was easily cured once I was able to find a pair of 32mm headset wrenches. That wasn't easy. The only other requirement was chain lube.

First Impression: Santa Cruz Tallboy
By Maurice Tierney
My first impression? This Periwinke blue is really striking. Powdercoat, yep. Environ-Mentally better than spray paint, too. I have gotten a number of positive comments from passersbys.
Second impression? This is a lot of bike for $2,299. Yowza! This strikes me as an incredible value. Sure, Santa Cruz's D-XC-29 kit parts are a mix of Shimano Deore and SLX, and the fork is a steel-stanchioned Rock Shox Recon, and it does weigh near 32 lbs. in XL size, but that price point!
Riding impressions? I have always rode 24" top tubes, but wanted to try a longer one this time so I ordered up the XL with 25" top tube. I can make the fit about the same with stem and bar choice. The bike rides a bit more stable on high speed descents but with the longer wheelbase it does not handle the switchbacks quite as well as a shorter wheelbased bike. And it's heavier. Lesson? Choose your sizing carefully.
My third impression? This thing works 90% as well as bikes costing twice as much. And that's probably good enough for 90% of riders. OK, I am making this up, but yea! Sure there will be upgrades down the road, like to the fork and maybe the drivetrain for starters but hey, a frame and Fox RP2 shock can be had for a mere $1,850. Nice job, SCB.

Correction: We were so shocked at the low price of this complete bike, we didn't belive it, and thus we had an incorrect price listed.
Steve Jobs and the founding of Dirt Rag
By Maurice Tierney
Just a word on where we came from…
I (Me, Maurice Tierney, publisher of Dirt Rag magazine and it's resulting compulsory website) graduated from The University of Dayton in 1980 with a degree in photography and that fine art degree was pretty useless for business purposes so I spent most of the 80's in the school of hard knocks, shooting weddings and chasing ambulances and anything to make a buck. Thankfully I had a partner or should I say wife actually (Elaine) who was gainfully employed as a copywriter at a downtown Pittsburgh ad agency. By 1987 I had built enough freelance business to have a bit of cash flow and with the help of a full page ad on the back cover of Mountain Bike For The Adventure magazine I purchased my first mountain bike ever via mail order, a $500 Supergo Access which paid me back in spades every time I tried to make friends at the local bike shop, yes I was hooked.
The next part of the story involves the purchase of an Apple Macintosh SE30 for the purpose of creating databases for my thousands of (preferably Kodachrome) slides. Little did I know but my editor at In Pittsburgh Newsweekly where I fancied myself as the Annie Liebovitz-style star cover shot shooter had loaded up said SE30 with a bunch of software including an application called Aldus Pagemaker.
As someone who had ZERO interest in computers at this time and a shit-ton of interest in riding bikes in the woods and being someone who wanted to be on the "inside" of the whole MTB thing and not just a consumer of goods there was a lightbulb-above-the-head moment somewhere along 1988 and the rest is history.
Why am I telling you this story? This is certainly not about me, and not about "Think Different" and not about "1984" and certainly not about all the glamorous consumerism that is today's Apple Store, no, not today, October 5, 2011. I'm writing this, and am inspired to write this, 'cause I am thinking about a certain guy who, well, if it wasn't for him I don't think Dirt Rag would exist really.
Thanks Steve…
New Felt bikes for 2012
By Maurice Tierney
Felt Bicycles held their 2012 model year press outing in their parking lot in Irvine, CA the other day. I flew down to see what was up. Good to meet the principle people behind the brand, and get a handle on what the company is all about. One thing is for sure, the Felt line is growing. There really is something for everyone, a broad range of bikes at a broad range of pricing. Let's get started.
Lucky me, I was getting ready to bring some time trials and triathlons into my life. Felt is a key player in this game, with many, many accomplishments in this field ever since Jim Felt welded his first Tri bike 20 years ago. This is the $4,999 DA 3. If you want a really nice bike you'll need the $12,999 DA 1.
But this is a mountain bike story, no? Ooops! Let's talk MTB. Felt showed us their new Edict LTD race bike. Acronym here is F.A.S.T., or Felt Active Stay Technology, where the seatstay/chainstay unit is molded to work as a spring, a spring that keeps the suspension biased toward the optimum sagged position, much like a platform valve on a fancy air shock. It will be cool to ride this some time. Light weight, simple 26-inch race bikes. $5,500 Pro, $10,000 LTD. Here's the pro:
Yes, a simple but effective suspension.
For the longer travel crowd we have the Virtue line. Retaining the Equilink suspension design, these bikes are adjustable between 120 and 130mm for your larger needs. The Virtue line is also more adjustable in it's price points this year with models being available from $2,300 to $10,000.
But the welcomest news is Felt's increased line of 29ers, the Nine Series. Here at Dirt Rag we've been preaching the benefits of the big wheels for some time now and it's awesome to see them finally taking off in Europe as well as the U.S. Now companies like Felt are offering a full line of 29ers for every budget.
Again it's about racing. The philosophy for Felt has been steep 72˚ head angles for quick steering, short stays, and short fork travel. The claimed-21lb. Nine Team will run you $5,999. But I really dug the orange Elite model at $2,799. Check it out:
All told there are seven, count 'em, seven 29ers to choose from, all the way down to the $599 Flow model. Yea, something for everyone!
On the tech side, if you're reading this far, I'll continue. Carbon fiber. Many of Felt's bikes use this material, and it's fascinating to see how it's put together. The way I understand it is like this. Each individual piece in each frame size has it's own mold, and as the carbon is laid into the mold, the air bags you see in the picture below are inflated to press the material toward the outside of the mold. This can leave it a little messy inside the frame, maybe leaving a little too much material and bringing the weight up. With the goal of keeping the inside of the frame nice and clean with just enough material, Felt uses additional molds like you see in the top of this photo (yellow) to leave us with a nice clean frame. Sweet.
So there you have it. I'm sure we'll be able to ride some of these bikes at a later date, but until then this is all I can tell you. Felt does have a well-rounded line of bikes, I'll be blogging at Bicycle Times shortly with the scoop on Felt's everyday transportation bikes, their swell cruisers, and even a fixed gear to go with the time trial bike.
Felt Unveils 2012 Line
Felt Bicycles held their 2012 model year press outing in their parking lot in Irvine, CA the other day. I flew down to see what was up. Good to meet the principle people behind the brand, and get a handle on what the company is all about. One thing is for sure, the Felt line is growing. There really is something for everyone, a broad range of bikes at a broad range of pricing. Let's get started.

Under test: Breezer Cloud 9 Pro
By Maurice Tierney
What better way to "Get the Skinny" on a test bike than a ride with it's creator? Joe Breeze is a legend of mountain biking and we're fortunate to have an office nearby his home turf of Marin County, Cali-for-nye-aye.
Joe is a super-nice guy and it's a super-pleasure to take a ride with him on his home turf.
That'd be some fire roads outta Joe's place in Fairfax to some singletrack at Boy Scout Camp Tamarancho. I requested a hardtail for this test due to the larger amounts of climbing I'm facing here in the Bay Area. A 29er hardtail to be specific, so this fits the bill to a "T".
With over 225 miles in on this test sled, today will be the last 11, plan being to ride some more technical stuff and get a handle on the Cloud 9's capabilities in that regard. Many of the test miles have been on hard packed double track, so I am chomping at the bit to rock some rocks and roots.
In a nut this, bike did everything I asked it too quite well. The climbing was solid for hours on end, the switchbacks were no problemo, and the high speed fireroad decents were a blast. Like many designers, Joe tried to make his 29er handle like a smaller bike, and he hit the nail on the head in that respect. Joe is an awesome photographer too.
The only nit you'll read about in my full review (appearing in Issue #157) will be about the spec. I sure missed a good solid thru axle on the fork, and the somewhat generic brakes left something to be desired for this weight of rider (225lbs.). Oh well.
The Cloud 9 Pro retails for $3,000. Joe himself rides the LTD model, which retails for $5,900 and, while being the same frame, has green accents rather than orange.
Joe threw a leg over my bike, which has been set upo real custom like with 23˚ bars from Groovy and an awesome Maneke Neko squeezy horn.
Oh, and did I mention, Joe can ride these things.

Stuff I like: Biketoberfest Marin
I love a good consumer bike show. Getting the industry and consumers in the same place at the same time doesn't happen often enough, but it's usually great when it does. With some West Coast bike-biz peeps plus all the new, old and future readers of our magazines, where else would I want to be?
Biketoberfest Marin had this and more: Good friends in town from Pittsburgh, a ride with my sensei Charlie Kelly, music and my favorite four-letter beverage of choice, BEER!
The show was free, with tons of bike company booths, music, family stuff, food for sale and even a 'cross race. The beer was not. For $20 (advance) you got to sample at least 30 different beers from 20 West Coast breweries, including a nicely sized sample glass that could be filled as often as you like. Sweet deal.
More importantly, 4,000 people attended, raising more than $20,000 for the Marin County Bicycle Coalition and Access4bikes. Mmmmm, beeeeer.
Doh! BEER comes after the ride. Must ride first, and then work the booth while drinking beer. Yep, sounds like a plan.
It's the "Legends" ride being led by Charlie Kelly and Joe Breeze that I will go on. SeeKay and Joe a couple of local/international luminaries if there is such a thing. Here's Charlie leading from the plaza in Fairfax, CA.
Joe's like WTF? Who is this guy?
As we hit the dirt, this is the last time we'll see both leaders together.
I found this sign interesting.
Almost there. Charlie brings up the rear. That's Mt. Tam back there.
Joe has taken the fast kids down into some Tamarancho singletrack, while Charlie took us to the top of Repack. Here we hear how it was, back in the day, before plunging down the historical track.
Here we are at the bottom. We all made it.
Different styles, same smiles. That's my Blur LT on the left.
You can see Charlie's jaw moving in this shot.
Ahhh, the booth.
Here Liam Studdiford pitches the wool (Who's that guy in the middle?), Elizabeth from Pittsburgh pushes the 'Zines
What more do we need? Please comment if know a good festival/expo we should attend. Next week, SF Bike Expo!Tweet Print
Stuff I like: Exposure Lights
By Maurice Tierney
In my upcoming Dirt Rag print review, you'll hear me sing the praises of the MaXx-D light from Exposure. It's a sweet, bright, LED, cable-free, trail-worthy 1200 lumen alloy lighting unit that mounts quickly and easily to your handlebar. This all makes it a pleasure to use, and easy to write about. I've also tested the 300-lumen Joystick as well, a much smaller light that I use for my off-dirt travels at night.
But another big reason I like these products so much is my go-to guy at Exposure, James. Not only does James pick up the phone when you call the home office in Rollinsford, New Hampshire; Not only does he keep me equipped with the latest lights I need to properly write these reviews; but he answers the phone in a British accent and with a demeanor that makes working with him "always a pleasure".
Of course, I am not a complete sucker. If there's any deficiencies or "Nits to pick" on this product I'll be sure to fulfill my journalistic duty and report on them.
The point is that sometimes it's not just about the product, but about the people, too. Some folks just have a knack for the relationship thing; they answer the phone, get you the stuff, provide information, answer questions in a timely fashion, and are otherwise pleasant to work with. Likeable people. Bike people.

SF Bike Expo 2010
Don't you know?
It's the place to go
Where a bike show will explode
Near the San Francisco Bay if I may be so bold
Called the SF Bike Expo
In November it's summer
It will not be a bummer
It takes place on the 6th
And will be really sick!
(That's HELLA sick, in Bay-speak)
Cyclists of all styles
Will come for a while
Check out the fashion show
Or the cross race to go
Ride in off the street
It cannot be beat
All the bike peeps will come
You'll surely have fun!
There will be stunting as well
And lowriders from hell
Advocacy too
How about you?
A palace of Cow
Becomes a palace of wow!
(What's a Cow Palace anyway?)
The Dirt Rag booth
Will feed your sweet tooth
It's not just a swap
You might blow your top
Try to remain calm

Miley Cyrus Keeps it Clean on "Saturday Night Live"
In the days leading up to her "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig, fans wondered if Miley Cyrus would once again do something to cause a big stir as she did at the VMA's in August.
But those who tuned in to see what the controversial songstress would do found that she kept it quite tame, and had fun while doing it.
Poking some fun at her VMA performance, Miley spoofed the awards show in the cold open, even donning her sparkly costume she originally wore.
In her opening monologue, Miley explained why she isn't twerking much these days, saying "Now that white people are doing it, it seems kind of lame."
Featured skits included a house party thrown by Republican House of Representatives leaders to celebrate the government shut down, a "50 Shades of Grey" screen test and Cyrus as a hip hop obsessed high school student.
Also the show's musical guest, the 20-year-old belted out her hits "Wrecking Ball" and "We Can't Stop."
Check out more hilarious moments from "Saturday Night Live" in the players below!

OmniTI a provider of web infrastructures and applications for companies that require scalable, high-performance, mission critical solutions, today announced it provided strategic consulting services and developed an Apache Traffic Server plugin for Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
As part of the project OHSU contributed the Apache plugin back to the Open Source Community so that other companies can now benefit from the functionality it provides. The plugin accommodates for "stale-while-revalidate" and "stale-if-error" cache control extensions, reducing latency and improving content serving consistency.
OHSU is a leading health and research university that strives for excellence in patient care, education and research, and community service. It cares for more than 235,000 patients each year from around the region and takes a leadership role in contributing to solutions involving the health of the state and the nation, such as health care access and transparency, ethics and workforce shortages.
OHSU made a strategic decision to proactively enhance the site's performance in preparation for traffic bursts that would drive traffic to the site at higher than normal levels. The OHSU site gets about 500,000 page views per week, and as the leading provider of complex medical care in Oregon, they could see similar numbers in a single day if the city or region experienced an unscheduled emergency. OHSU's Web Strategies team decided that a web accelerator solution would best meet its needs, and after much research and competitive performance analysis decided upon Apache Traffic Server.
Originally developed by Inktomi, and later acquired and open sourced by Yahoo!, Apache Traffic Server (ATS) is one of the leading open source caching proxy servers available today. The web strategies team then turned to OmniTI, known in the industry for its ATS expertise, for guidance on how to implement ATS and to develop a customized plugin for "stale-while-revalidate" and "stale-if-error" scenarios.
"The plugin that OmniTI built has filled a hole in Apache Traffic Server's functionality," said Brendan Webb, a web engineer at OHSU. "OmniTI's experience with reverse proxies, and specifically ATS, helped us better understand exactly what steps were required and what pitfalls to avoid during both our initial implementation and when it came time to develop the plugin."
ATS and the plugin have now been implemented on OHSU's entire intranet and on sections of the public site. The OHSU intranet serves more than 13,000 employees, and the plugin has added a layer of redundancy in case there are errors on the site. Now the web staff can see where the errors are and fix them, while end users don't experience any disruption in content or performance.
"OHSU is an innovative institution that is being proactive by improving web services performance with ATS," said Leon Fayer, vice president of business development, OmniTI. "We are happy to have joined forces with them to deliver a high performance solution that meets their needs for today and the future."
About OHSU
Oregon Health & Science University is the state's only academic health and research university. As Portland's largest employer with nearly 14,000 employees, OHSU's size contributes to its ability to provide many services and community support activities not found anywhere else in the state. OHSU serves patients from every corner of Oregon, and is a conduit for learning for more than 4,300 students and trainees. OHSU is the source of more than 200 community outreach programs that bring health and education services to each county in the state.
Founded in 1997, OmniTI designs, builds and operates web infrastructures and applications for companies that require scalable, high-performance, mission critical solutions. Targeted to B2C organizations, the company's expert engineers specialize in providing complex, high-transaction and large-volume data applications. Unlike competitors that offer limited web design, development or database services, OmniTI offers end-to-end, purpose built technology solutions that include strategic consulting, web design and development, database services, Internet architecture support and managed services. OmniTI is committed to continuous innovation that enables businesses on the web to move at customer speed.

PLATTSBURGH — Bright yellow signs popping up in area parks are a reminder that ticks carrying Lyme disease can be found in our region.
The New York State Department of Health is providing the informational markers free of charge to municipalities to promote tick safety while spending time outdoors.
Rita Mitchell of the Clinton County Health Department's Environmental Division said the signs "act as a warning that ticks found in the area may cause Lyme disease."
The signs, made of sturdy aluminum to withstand North Country weather, include pictures of the deer tick, the species most commonly known to carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
"There are more ticks in our region than there used to be," Mitchell said of the increase over the past few years.
"A lot of people, especially those visiting from out West, don't really know about ticks and Lyme disease."
Deer ticks live in shady, moist areas at ground level. They will cling to tall grass, brush and shrubs and will attach themselves to passing humans and other animals.
The tick will then crawl to a protected area on the body and begin feeding on the host's blood over the next few days.
Not all ticks carry Lyme disease, but the risk is greatly reduced if the tick is removed within the first 36 hours of feeding off a host.
The most common early symptom of Lyme disease is a circular rash appearing at or near the site of the tick bite. The person also sometimes has a fever or painful joints.
If untreated, the disease can create serious health problems, including severe headaches, painful arthritis, heart problems and central-nervous-system issues, sometimes occurring years after the initial bite.
Early treatment with antibiotics almost always results in a full cure.
