Mac Miller
"Mac Miller is the future of music."- Darrelle Revis Pro-Bowl footbal star from the New York Jets
"Now comes the 17-year-old Mac Miller who?s been spending the last hot minute
carving out his own niche and establishing himself as one of PA?s premier prospects on the
mic." – XXL Magazine
"Pittsburgh?s prodigal son returns with a mixtape that?s as well-rounded as we ever
heard. The mic skills are there, the authenticity is there, and the fun is there too. It?s just
really a matter of when not if Mac blows up."- HIP HOP WEEKLY
"This fun-lovin' Pittsburgh teenager seems pretty comfortable in his own skin, kinda like the kid you
remember from school that managed to be popular with every clique. Dude's pretty good on the mic, and he's also pretty savvy: Hooking up with talented young filmmaker Ian Wolfson has made each of Mac's three videos considerably stronger than your average low-budget fare." --- Complex Magazine
"If Nas was a 17-18 year old white kid from Pittsburgh, he?d be Mac Miller. I?m impressed.
Thank God for Hip Hop." – Mr. Peter Parker, popular internet and radio DJ.
"Mac is doing his thing. Be on the lookout for the new Pittsburgh talent."- Wiz Khalifa
"Gotta make you proud of Pittsburgh hip hop. BAM!"-- Mikey from "The Freak Show" the 1 Show on 96.1 KISS FM, Pittsburgh's 1 Radio Station.
"So why did I pick the Mac Miller video? We had over 100 people submit music videos. The competition was tough! You could tell that the video director is an artist. The video had a 70's feel to it. From the shots, to the logos, to the transitions. The whole girl with the umbrella theme that kept replaying throughout the video was dope. It wasn't high budget, but it looked like it. Also, the song had an authentic feel to it. There was no frontin, nothing extra, just a guy trying to holla at a girl." - DJ Vlad on Mac's "Got a CLue" Video

The home is organized on two levels with 6 x 9 meter floors, each 6 meters high. This rectangular shape was inspired by Japanese architecture and based on the theory that rectangles are the only element that disappear in nature. The grid structure is constructed of metal plates with the spaces filled with either glass or wood. The forest space ship serves as an architecture workshop, recording studio and rehearsal room for acoustic and electric music.
The north facade is fully glass and takes in the heat during the winter months when the trees are without leaves. Thermal energy is stored on both floors to help keep the home a constant temperature. In the summer, the trees are bursting with leaves and provide shade for the home. Meanwhile the south side of the home features both wood and glass panels to retain heat, but the facades can be changed throughout the year depending on what the forest is doing. Built to have minimal impact on the forest, the home is merely an observation point and in theory could easily be removed without leaving a trace.

i dont think anyone is criticizing the design (at least i was not). but to have it presented as this thing that "landed in the forest as a quiet observer" and it could "leave with no trace" is what i have a problem with. construction is inherently and always a violent act against a virgin habitat. lebbeus woods has a lot of writing on architecture and politics and its impact on the environment. he makes the statement "Architecture is War" in one of the Pamphlet Architecture books – an interesting read. don't get me wrong, i'm all for architecture and design (it's actually what my degree is in) but i have a problem with it being presented as something it's not. look at what it means to build.
allenmueller July 28, 2011 at 12:59 pm
I'm earingmarking this as one of my favorite forest dwellings ever. So many perfect details built into one place!
allenmueller July 28, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Wow, this is a great article with some of the lamest comments I've ever read. Maybe the designer needs to show us his birth certificate before we consider the legitimacy of this design…
owen66 July 23, 2011 at 11:15 am
portraying architecture in this light really irks me. new construction is very resource intensive. if you want low impact, renovate an un-used building in an urban environment. lazy is right, the water/electric had to be run somehow. i wonder how much was ripped out, torn down or cleared out and then put back.
Helman700 July 22, 2011 at 5:02 pm
They also let half their landing craft behind, and on later missions cars as well. Lazyreader is exactly right. It's aptly named to fool you into believing that it's low impact. A box on non-permanent stilts with self-contained water, sewage and power. Built from renewable site harvested resources can be moved without a trace, not this building.
lazyreader July 22, 2011 at 1:18 pm
The astronauts from the Apollo missions were certainly not low impact. They took nearly a thousand pounds of moon rock and left their poop behind. I doubt this house is any different. How do they get water or flush waste without pipes or plumbing having needed to be built underground. If you build a house in the middle of no where, you should buy some land neighboring around it so no one can imitate you. All of a sudden the quiet disappears and so do the animals.
daniellagaia July 22, 2011 at 1:09 pm
i loved that house. I would like this project to follow to build one for me. i would like to include stones in the base maybe..

5.5k for all 6 dps is what we look for to beat the enrage timer.
Personally I think if your raid team isn't pulling 7.5k minimum each on her something is wrong.
Quick question, what is the min. dps required to down Sindragosa?
Putting it another way, if the dps in the raid are pulling less than 5k on normal 10 man Sindragosa is that good enough? IMHO, (in 5.6K gs appropriate gear and above) less than 5k dps really isn't up to scratch, just want a reality check to make sure I'm not being unreasonable.
You will not kill her in time if you are not averaging at least 5 to 5.5k DPS across 5 DPS. Keep in mind that Unchained Magic can really kill a caster's DPS if they are hit with it back to back, meanwhile the other casters can go all out provided they don't also have the debuff.
If your Melee DPS use Fast weapons (Rogues) they may suffer more of a dps loss because of having to clear their stacks more often then people who attack much slower such as any class which uses either a 2 Hander or 2.60 Main / Off Hands.
Also if your raid is over 5.6k gs then you shouldn't worry. As the rest of the instance the 30% buff gain goes a long way.
I can understand that DPS for Sindragosa isn't going to be as high as a straight tank and spank due to the movement, the ice blocks and the debuffs etc. but when I see warriors, pallys and warlocks pulling between 3.5 and 4.8k dps consistently then I figure there is something else going wrong - more than just coming to grips with fight mechanics.
In reality 6K dps is no where near that needed it just makes it easier same as all the ICC fights.
If you aren't hitting the enrage timer you don't need more dps but it means the raid has to survive longer which is generally the issue :-)
So is your problem hitting the enrage timer or people failing at the mechanics???
This is one fight casters are not favoured due to the nature of unchained magic and the whole suck the raid in and then she flies around.
If they are pulling 5K on sindi then they are pulling 8-9K on a stand an whack fight which is well within the normal range you would expect.
TBH I have rarely seen the enrage timer most fails are way before that point you only usually see it because dps died in earlier stages.
It's a bit like Prof P fight you always hear pugs say we don't have the DPS for this as raids get creamed by adds in P1. The reality is P1 has no dps check at all we did it with an alt's run with noone doing over 5K. P3 was the dps test but they are failing before they even get there.
** Remember Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible.
In normal 10 man Sindragosa has 11,156,000hp and we have 10mins (600 seconds) to burn that hp and while it doesn't sound that bad, it just feels like we are lagging behind.
Last edited by swollenpickles; 09-12-2010 at 08:56 PM.
deleted - screwed up post.
Just using your figures I haven't bothered to check but they sound right
11,156,000 hp / 600 = 18593.333 assuming 5 dps = 3718 dps per person to beat enrage
Which is about what I would have guessed because I know it isnt high its not really a dps fight its a survival. Having said that more dps means less time to survive makes life easier for nubs.
So somethings out with your DPS figures or alot of your raid are well below 4K.
I should say if someone calls out when she is about to go to air eveyone who can dot her should including healers etc you can get alot of free damage on her as she flies if they all do that.
Everyone should have there CD's ready for P2 because you really want to make it as short as possible as it gets very busy.
In progression your first aim is to get to P2 with everyone one alive and all CD's intact so you have lust, brez'es etc available. Until you can do that you are pretty much guaranteed to fail.
We find casters have the biggest learning curve they have to learn to watch unchained magic and deal with the being sucked and turn and run. Melee generally are better at this because they are used to having to change position and so many other bosses req them to run etc it's sort of new for casters and there low HP gives them no room for error. Getting locks to use tele, mages to blink, boomies to go to cat, and priests to shield themself as they get sucked helps immensely and gives them room for errors.
Next stage is to sort out P2 movements as its a continual process they know and have done it all now they have to do it all together and you ahve 1 dps down breaking the IB's and someone who knows to cover for him if the breaker gets IB. If you don't get the continual process sorted yes your dps really suffers even more as you have dps wasting time running or breaking IB's.
** Remember Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible.
I've had a quick look at world of logs and it looks like the average group dps of the groups that kill Sindy is 30,791, while the average group dps of the groups that wipe is 24,578. We were definitely sitting in the 24-26k range for most attempts (of which there were many). One person was consistently hitting 6.5-7k which I wouldn't consider brilliant at this stage of the game, but the other dps were ranging between 3.5-4.5k generally. Like I said, the one thing that was very noticeable was the drop in dps once Sindy hit 35%. So while out group dps may have been 24-26k for the fight, had we survived until the end I'd have expected it to drop quite a bit.
Pickles, my guild's in the same spot. We're running 30k+ for the fight in general, but have too many people die in P3. And DPS isn't a great indicator. I say that because if you're using recount, it's not multiplying DPS * Active Time %.
For example, if a 7k DPS has a 85% uptime for 100 seconds, thats (7000 * 100)*.85 = 595,000 damage
If a 7k DPS has a 60% uptime for 100 seconds that's 455,000 damage.
So it's not just DPS (unless you're calculating effective DPS). And there are several legitimate reasons for lowering eDPS (damage/fight length in seconds rather than DPS via recount which is damage when doing something) - auto-attacking air-phase frost tombs so they don't go down too quickly, being tombed, etc. So even if Recount is showing 6k DPS, the effective DPS is going to be much lower.
Without knowing the makeup of your raid, as mentioned above, fast melee attackers should absolutely be on frost tombs in P3, and probably all melee since they gain a constant stacking buff that can quickly grow unmanagable.
Casters with an ability to remove unchained magic should NEVER stop casting (even if it's AoE instants when moving) unless they're about to be tombed, then they should use whatever they have (e.g. mages' frost tomb) as soon as they're in place for their tombing but before being tombed. Granted, the CD means they can really only do this once in P3, but any break in DPS by an party member is going to make it tough.
I wish I could offer more than that, but we still have people tombing each other, dying to blistering colds, and the like, so take it for what it's worth with a grain of salt for a group that's in the exact same position. Theoretically we have the DPS, but the execution just isn't there for our group.

If you're worrying about dps more than worrying about execution, you're doing it wrong.
Sindragosa is mainly an execution fight. Once all your team knows how to execute it properly, dps will come after that a lot faster. I've seen a team hit the enrage timer. But up until that point they had FINALLY managed to execute it properly. Next try, everybody's dps went up by a huge margin and they got the kill.
People have to watch a ton of debuffs on sindi. Healers have to learn to manage debuffs, iceblocks and keeping up the tank through heavy damage. DPS needs to learn how/when to explode, melee need to learn how long they have to wait and how fast they have to break tombs, etc. They are probably worrying about those things more than their dps/rotations/dot uptimes. And if you push them for dps, they'll start missing out on their execution. Once they get the execution down and you get to enrage with everybody alive, i'll bet you can easily draw out somewhere around 30% increase in dps in your next try.
Do the mages in your group use Frost Tomb only during lulls (air phase, about to be tombed) in the fighting or right after unchained magic is applied?

I guess I'm getting frustrated in general. The DPS issue has come up a few times on other fights too. We're at that stage where everyone is basically in as good a gear as they are capable of getting (4 pcs t10, gearscores averaging 5.8). While everyone is on an equal playing field gear wise there's always consistently one guy pulling 25% of the raids damage (whatever the fight), while the next closest is usually 17% (that's overall damage not DPS - although it's very similar). It just seems to me that there is something not quite right going on and I can't put my finger on it.
Repeated fails are starting to weight me down and I kind of feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. Ah... there goes the QQ.
I know the feeling. We're in the same spot (I'm the 25% guy, if our Spriest isn't going Disc, he's the 17% guy). Part of it is our setup, not a good fight to be a rogue. But part of it is player performance. Our 2 mages were out damaged (by 33% or more) by a friend of the guild mage today. This, based on everyone's damage in others fights, makes it clear there's something going on, but we can't quite place our finger on it.
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
In our guild there are 2 other guys that would blow me away in DPS, but they're so good at healing, we can't give them up ;-) (The Pally very nearly solo healed Fester 25 including the second 3rd inhale - 2 Spriest switched to holy/disc in their spriest gear -- and the other, a druid, solo healed 80% of a DBS10 kill at the 20% buff - long before he had abacus and still doesn't have trauma).
So everytime I get cocky, I just think of the Holy Pally whose Hunter would turn me into the 17% guy (even before he moved him to a truer raiding guild and got things like DBW and late ICC25 drops...)... that helps keep me humble ;-)
But right now, I kid you not, I think we're either approaching or at 100 attempts on Sindragosa and on our most recent attempt I did more damage (ignoring DPS) than the 2 mages in the group combined. On almost every pull I do more total damage to Sindragosa, despite being on Tomb duty all of P3, than anyone else does total damage.
And like you, I know I'm not this much better than everyone else in the group (during P1 when all CDs are popped we're all roughly equal, it's not until the slightest bit of movement...). I want to fix it, I just don't know what's broken to fix... I have ideas, but nothing firm. And it's driving me mad. I'm starting to feel loathing toward my guildies for not having improved their output in the last 3 weeks, who I generally like (none are RL people, only people I've found in the guild) which scares me, because that's not what I want to feel when I see them.
Wow, sorry for turning this into a QQfest. It's just so frustrating to see something going wrong and not being able to fix it.
An introduction into WarTanking (no longer updated as I've retired from WoW - the concepts will still be mostly accurate but the numbers no longer will be.) - http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...101-The-Primer
Who's the raid leader for that run?
Sounds like there might need to be a strong conversations with the people in the run about expectations. Part of DPSing is DPSing while doing the other crap you need to do...tombing, running away from aoes that will 1 shot you, not being retarded & getting cleaved or breathed on...the usual.
Unless those mages are in all greens they need to step up the game and do some damage or hit the road. Set some DPS minimums for bossfight averages (say 6k dps average on the 3 bosses in the first wing + rot & fester). If they aren't there, tell them they are at risk and they either need to fix it or expect to be replaced with some other ranged dps. Same with your melee dps. If they fix it before you replace them, all the better. If they don't...well...are you really going to miss them?
The other part sounds like a strategy issue. Something isn't right if after 100x they haven't gotten their footwork down.
I think we took like maybe 15 to 20 attempts on Sindi over several weeks. We had a lot of issue with DPS and / Or Healers dying to stupid things like Blistering Cold. Once that was taken care of, we just had stupid mistakes in phase 3 where one person would stand just a bit to close to someone else... and freeze 2-3 people. Once that was worked out we were able to beat her.
The Enrage is 10 minutes, and that's fairly generous provided you don't slack when she's on the ground (since you can't really hurt her in the air) You lose DPS time every time she lifts off, and the longer you take to get her to 35% the less actual time you have to damage her (since she will have more air phases).
My own raid does 8-10k on Festergut, etc but hovers around 5-6k on Sindi. However we tend to run caster heavy so Unchained Magic was pretty brutal for us. The biggest thing youc an stress is people to not die. If they don't die, they have higher DPS uptime. If they die, then their DPS stops and even if battle rezzed is a fraction of what it was when they were fully buffed.
If you are dealing more total damage then 2 mages combined, there is a major issue with the Mages. Even with Unchained Magic they shouldn't be that far behind unless they just totally stop casting for 20 seconds every time they get it. They can continue to cast, they just need to pace themselves so they don't kill themselves once they finally stop.
Either way your issues are DPS and Execution, and I would start with a hard look at who is slacking in terms of Avoidable Damage Taken and How much Total Damage they are doing (factoring in Unchained Magic and Chilled to the Bone). Those will be the best indicators of what to fix first.

Hi,I know I can export my tasks to the google calendar, but I would rather like to see my tasks in my local android phone's calendar that I never synchronise with anything. I would never synchronise it with a google calender, that I don't use anyway. Is that possible?Thanks for your help.

Hi batman_105,I don't know of a way to subscribe directly to the iCalendar feed from the default Android Calendar app. In general, this works by subscribing to the feed in Google Calendar and then syncing the calendar to your phone.However, iCalendar is a standard format and is supported by many applications. You may want to see if there's another calendar app that will work for you and supports iCalendar feeds directly.Hope this helps!

it is my understanding that my great grandparents met at Flower Hospital when they were working there in 1900. Does anyone know if there are employment records anywhere. My g-grandfather was a janitor and my g-grandmother was a cook for the doctors.Information I have indicates that they lived at the hospital. Were there apartments/rooms that could be rented in the early 1900's?
If your grandparents were living in Flower 5th Avenue in mid or late 1900, they should appear there in the notebooks carried by the Census takers that year. These notebooks are available at the NYPL at 42nd street.They should be in those notebooks wherever they were living. I think that there is a sort of index to names in the 1900 census. They will be in the 1910, 1920 & 1930 censuses, too; 1940 will be released in a couple of years.GATGeorge A. ThompsonAuthor of A Documentary History of "The African Theatre", Northwestern Univ. Pr., 1998, but nothing much since then.
Just checked. The 1940 census will be released on April 2, 2012.

|Moral :
|The episode opens with a shot of the ship flying through space whilst Picard records a log entry saying that the ship is running at Warp 7. However, throughout the scene there are no "warp streaks" visible, just regular stars. This indicates that the ship is actually at sublight speed.
Near the start of the episode the transmissions from the Tsiolkovsky are cut off by a loud bang. Data reports that "What we just heard is... impossible," and goes on to report that it was the sound of the bridge emergency hatch being blown open. So... what's so impossible about that? There's a hatch, it's designed to be blown open, and somebody blew it open. Anybody else might say "That's impossible!" as an exclamation of incredulity, but Data is Mr Literal - something he demonstrates himself in the very next scene. So no, Data, it's not impossible. Not at all. It's simply unpleasant.
Speaking of the hatch, when Riker says that the crew were sucked out, Data corrects him by saying "That's blown out." Later episodes will, of course, make a big deal of the fact that Data cannot use contractions in his speech.
This is far from the first or only episode to do this, but Yar reports that somebody in engineering "just let all the heat bleed away into space." Space is a vacuum (more or less), and as such it's an extremely good insulator. It's actually far more likely that the ship would overheat than freeze, and this is especially true since it's sitting quite close to a star.
Why is everybody so impressed with Wesley's saving the ship from the stellar fragment? They wouldn't have been in any danger in the first place if it wasn't for him taking over engineering! And although the Enterprise escaped, the Tsilkovsky was destroyed - by Wesley, without any orders to do so. If I was Starfleet I'd be pretty miffed at the kid.
|Great Moment :
|Yar seducing Data. You go girl!
Since I'm complaining about the heat in space thing above, I suppose I should be balanced and give kudos to Data for correcting Riker and stating that people are blown out of a ship rather than sucked out of it.
|Body Count :
|The crew of the Tsiolkovsky, 80 people in all.
|Factoid :
|This is a sequel/remake of sorts of the TOS episode "The Naked Time". Both episodes were intended to provide viewers with a quick guide to the underlying motivations of the characters via a plot device that eliminated their inhibitions.
This is the first episode ever to refer to the original Enterprise as being of the "Constitution class".
The USS Tsiolkovsky is named for Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a pioneer who was one of the first people to prove that space flight was possible and predicted that one day Mankind would have colonies on other planets.
|Quote :
|"You jewel, that's exactly what I wanted to hear!" - Yar to Data; on discovering that he is 'fully functional' in matters of sexuality
The Enterprise-D rendezvoused with the USS Tsiolkovsky, which has spent most of a year studying a collapsing star. As they approach the Tsiolkovsky the ship hails them with a most peculiar message; the crew sound intoxicated, out of control. The message ends with the sound of the bridge emergency hatch being blown, killing everybody there. The Enterprise rushes in and an away team beams aboard to investigate. They find the entire crew dead, with the ship littered with evidence of a "wild party". On returning to the Enterprise Geordi begins to display some unusual behaviour, and is confined to sickbay. He soon manages to wander off, and those he comes into contact with quickly begin to display the same strange behaviour - lack of inhibitions and impaired judgement.
Crusher works on a cure to the infection, which Riker realises is similar to an effect which once plagued the NCC-1701 crew - long chain water molecules which act in the body like alcohol.
With Picard low on functional crewmembers, the star finally implodes - sending a massive chunk of the core hurtling directly towards his ship. He orders the engines engaged, but Wesley is in engineering using his latest invention - a tractor/repulsor beam - to keep everybody else out. The Chief engineer manages to block power to the device and she and Riker enter sickbay, but find that a crewmember has yanked all the control chips out of the engine control computers. Data begins to reassemble the system at lightning speed, but he calculates that even at his speed they will be destroyed moments before he is finished.
Wesley, now recovering from the infection thanks to Beverley's cure, manages to re-rig the ship's main tractor beam to act as a repulsor. He applies it to the Tsiolkovsky, pushing the ship away towards the fragment and sending the Enterprise in the opposite direction. This buys the ship the few seconds it needs, and Data finishes repairs to the computer just in time to allow the ship to escape.
It's unfortunate in the extreme that the very first post-pilot of The Next Generation should be such a direct rip-off of TOS. Indeed, this is virtually beyond a rip-off; it's practically a remake.
You have to wonder at Starfleet's medical procedures. Ships like the Enterprise-D must encounter countless numbers of infections of all kinds every time they go to a new planet, yet they seem to have virtually no procedures in place for handling infectious disease. They know for a fact that something wiped out the entire crew of the Tsiolkovsky, yet when Geordi develops similar symptoms within minutes of returning from the ship, he is left unattended in sickbay to simply wander off on his own. He then makes it all the way up to the observation lounge, meaning he must have walked right through the bridge without being stopped! Hell, if you put the crew in rubber gloves and face masks the entire incident could have been contained without difficulty.
That said, the real point of the episode is to give us a glimpse inside the characters, give us an idea of what makes them tick. On that level, it's partially successful. We get the first real look at the Beverly/Picard subtext, we get an idea of the kind of things Yar went through in her past and see how repressed she is today. We get a look at how much Geordi wants normal vision. In that respect the episode is almost a second pilot; it serves mostly as a way to introduce us to our characters and get to know them a little. That said, it does an okay job with the second hand material.

Item # RID0021
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Custom Road Bikes & Frames in stock than that.
Ridley Helium - 2012 $0.00
Belgian love.
Who can forget stage 9 of the 2011 Tour de France as we watched horrifying imagery of Vacansoleil-DCM's Johnny Hoogerland as his breakaway companion Juan-Antonio Flecha was struck by a French media car, launching Hoogerland into a barbed wire fence at roadside. The disturbing video still induces cringes every time we watch it. While he would later need 33 stitches to close the gashes he sustained, team doctors patched him up as best they could at the scene, and put him back on the Ridley Helium he'd just crashed. Surprisingly, it was hardly worse for wear. He finished the stage, riding into the Polka Dot jersey and into the storied annals of Tour hardmen.
It's nothing short of a miracle that Hoogerland's racing career didn't end in that gruesome moment, but also pretty spectacular that despite the Helium being Ridley's lightest bike, it is also their most battle-hardened, having endured punishment on the cobbles and hors categorie climbs all across Europe. It is a shining example of carbon fiber's supreme durability and longevity in the hands of intelligent design. The Helium tips the scales just over 900 grams, which is less than that of Ridley's pave-flagship Excalibur. This is accomplished through its use of superior grades of carbon fiber. The Helium uses 30-ton carbon with areas of 40-ton and 50-ton reinforcements (in comparison to the 24-ton carbon used on the Excalibur.) By using higher-grade carbon, Ridley can use less carbon in the production process, netting a lower frame weight. The Helium also utilizes full carbon dropouts and doesn't use any aluminum in the head tube bearing races to reduce weight further. And when you factor in the detail that you need to use a conventional seatpost on an Excalibur, but you don't on a Helium, the real net difference in weight is well over a half-pound . Unlike the Excalibur, the Helium features an integrated seatmast design akin to the super-aero Ridley Noah. We will cut down the carbon fiber seat tube of the frame based on your saddle-to-BB measurement. You'll use a custom Ridley seat clamp that seamlessly mates to the seat tube and offers three different positions to modify your effective seat angle. The use of this integrated seat tube/seatpost maximizes frameset stiffness when you're putting the bike under serious in-the-saddle pressure. The integrated post, combined with the frame's matte carbon fiber finish, gives the Helium an extremely fast, post-industrial tool aesthetic that looks positively deadly.
The Ridley Helium is available in Black/White, and comes in 5 sizes from X-Small to X-Large. Given its compact geometry, we strongly suggest that you focus on the virtual top tube length as you make a determination of the proper size. Please provide us with your BB-Saddle Rail height in the "Comments" section of our order form so we can properly cut down the seat tube for delivery. Please note that the post's maximum cut-off length from the top of the seatpost is 60mm. The Helium comes with a matching Ridley 4ZA monocoque full carbon fiber fork and a proprietary FSA integrated headset. It requires an English bottom bracket, and a 34.9mm front derailleur. One final note on sizing: on all sizes the top of the seat tube is 235mm above the center of the top tube, not including seat mounting hardware. The standard Helium seat clamp has 18mm in height adjustment, and comes with a 1mm micro-spacer for small adjustments. Ridley also offers an aftermarket clamp that provides 40mm of height adjustment.
- Flex seat stays increase comfort during long days in the saddle
- Painted using real paint in Belgium—not decals like your last frame
- Ridley's 10-year warranty means you may be passing the Helium along to your next of kin

Troy Rutherford
Lightest of the Noble Gasses
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Carbon Wunder bike? Maybe, just make sure you do more than check stack and reach. This baby's got an ISP, that means you need to pay attention to make sure you account for enough seatpost to get your saddle height correct. Lucky for me CC has an awesome returns policy and I was able to get the right size the second time around.
My mistakes aside the helium is an awesome bike, granted that statement needs to be qualified based on this being a new bike and also that its inherently difficult to compare frames without putting many miles on each respective option(which I didn't/couldnt) so awesome is simply my current sentiment, one I'm sure you'll share but only based on the above observed qualifications.
I bought this as the Force build CC offered last spring, they put together a great package for me on allowing for a few upgrades namely the bars to my preferred FSA wing pro compact and to a red crankset. With my race wheels it sits a fraction over 15lbs, keeping to its moniker, it has been my faithful steed for a great season of racing.

2011 Helium with SRAM red

It ain't heavy...it's my Ridley
4th Ridley I've had. Started with an Excalibur, moved to a Damocles, then to a Helium. That Helium was sacrificed to the Cycling Gods after nearly 20k miles...and a pothole the size of a Smart car. Split seat-tube...sh*t happens. And here's the outstanding part about Ridley...
I did nothing more than send photos to the Ridley rep, and the frameset was covered. They even sent me the new frameset before receiving the broken one! That customer service my friends! But I digress...
My old Helium had the "archer's bow" seatstays, and to be honest, it was a bit of a jackhammer on rough roads. It rode very well, and was very lively, but was harsh-ish.
The 2011 I'm on now, which is the same as the 2012, is a completely different animal.
The headtube and fork are the same, but that's were the similarities end. The downtube is bigger, as is the BB junction, which we all know (or should know) makes the bottom end stiff.
The chainstays are a completely different shape, and much larger than the previous iteration of the Helium.
Now to the seatstays...
They are a bit flattish, and the "archer's bow" has been replaced with a more standard, triangle setup. These flat, thin stays lend themselves to much improved ride quality.
The bottom end of the bike is still uber-stiff, but the stays allow for a bit of flex on the vertical plane.
The Helium is smoooove.
As for high speed characteristics, it's like the other Ridleys I've owned before it. The harder you push it, the more alive it feels under you. I've raced all of them, and each has exhibited the same behaviors. No drama, no BS sketchiness...just rock steady and smooth carving corners.
The uploaded pic shows the bike as I have it built now. 7800 D/A, Deda Deep bars, Thomson X4 stem, Mavic SSC binders, and a boat anchor Flite Ti gel saddle. As shown, it weighs 16.2 pounds, which isn't bad considering it's a medium, and NO effort was made to build it light.
With new 7900, Di2 or Red, mid-15s will not be an issue. The dilemma is which group to buy this Spring!
Sure, it's not one of those new-fangled aero bikes, and it doesn't matter. I've ridden a Venge, and it's stiff and fast, but rides like a dumptruck. Given the choice, I'll take big, fat, round tubes and ride quality every time! And so should you!
Update: New 7900 mechanical went on about a month ago. Rotor crankset w/round FSA rings. Lost enough weight to get under 16 pounds. Saweeeet!
I totally agree with your review, I have a 2011 Helium size Medium and I absolutely love it. It's not very aero (at all) which I do think is a penalty particularly on descents; however it's an absolutely climbing beast and is super responsive to all power inputs whether seated or standing. With a set of light wheels it also gives incredible acceleration, it feels like every watt is being turned into thrust. Mine is 14lb even and that's with aluminum wheels and a mix of campy record and chorus parts (except planet-x brake calipers which are the only really weight weenie component on the bike). Its super comfortable as well (for a race bike), you could ride a Helium all day long. As I climb past folks who are on Specialized tarmac, Pinarellos, Cervelo etc. I generally feel sorry for them. I'm crazy happy with this bike and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Wayne Andrew
Last year I purchased a 2011 Ridley Helium - fantastic responsive frame and geometry. Soaks up the bumps in the rear and stiff everywhere else - unfortunately the drive side seat stay has started moving where it joins the chain stay and is showing cracking through the paint - at this stage Ridley advised that it is normal for cracking to appear - they want to pain it again but this wont resolve what is happening under the paint - great frame - put this fault is disappointing.

Wayne, mine is cracked in the same spot. It's just a paint issue. That's where the seatstays are bolted to the rear drop/chainstay assembly. Mine has been like that for a year, and I've had zero issues. Yes, it's annoying, but that's all...

- Examine the Third Reich's ties to the occult.
- Historians, spiritualists and others explore ancient tales foreshadowing a 20th-century horror.
Some say that the rise of Nazi Germany was foretold in prophecies reaching as far back as biblical times. These predictions, scattered throughout the centuries, paint a chilling portrait of an evil, sinister force that would terrorize the world.
NAZI PROPHECIES exposes the tales and legends which may have foreshadowed the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich.

gagrice San DiegoPosts: 29,176Fortunately she is mistaken as the FJ is rated for good old regular gas.
I am sure it runs fine on regular. What can you expect to lose in HP & torque using regular in a car that calls for Premium? Would it drop the HP to under 200 HP?
The governemnt fuel economy website rates it at 17 MPG combined on Premium unleaded. Would you also get less MPG using the lower power fuel?
Oops I would like to redact my admission of defeat. The following is cut and pasted directly from Toyota Canada's dealer communication site:
It has been brought to our attention that the label on the FJ Cruiser fuel door states that Premium Unleaded Fuel Only is required.
As the Owner's manual states " select Premium Unleaded gasoline (91 octane or higher) for optimum engine performance". However, Regular Unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 87 is acceptable.
The VOAS guide, brochure and website, show a rating of 239 hp, which was achieved using Premium Unleaded fuel. Please note that this rating may be reduced with the use of non-premium fuel.
A quick net search didn't turn up a rock deflector specifically for the FJ. They look something like this smoked one:
You may want to browse the Bug guards, protective bras & film discussion, but those guys are mostly trying to prevent paint chips.
If the rock misses the deflector, it won't help. Lots of people like them though.
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - email@example.com.
trd_se Posts: 2Toyota is now selling a rather good looking bug deflector for the FJ. Got my wife one for her TRD-SE as an Xmas present. Haven't been able to install it though, since one bracket was fubar.
Still going to lower the deductible on the inssurance - I was at the dealership and there was an FJ there getting his second windshield...
masospaghetti Posts: 117.1 mpg on PREMIUM fuel?? Thats sickening. You'd spend less on gasoline in a Suburban than this thing!
And $1,438 on a new windshield? Thats also ridiculous. Goes to show that even if imports' perceived quality is better, you pay for it dearly in more expensive "maintenance" items like this.

9/14 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
1958: The Yankees win their 24th pennant' and 9th under Casey Stengel' winning game 1 of a twinbill with the A's' 5-3. This ties Casey for first with Connie Mack for the most AL pennants won. New York complete the sweep with a 12-7' 14-inning win in game 2. Virgil Trucks allows 2 hits over the last 6 innings for the win.
1953: The Yanks clinch their fifth straight pennant' and the 20th in club history, spotting the Indians 5 runs before winning 8-5. Second baseman Billy Martin has 4 RBI' and Yogi Berra chips in with a two-run homer.
1943: The Yanks clinch their 14th AL pennant by beating the visiting Philadelphia A's. Jim Turner (below), coming in relief of starter Bill Zuber, gets the win for the Bombers.
1942: With all the NL race going down to the wire, the Yankees go about their lofty business' clinching the flag – the 13th in club history – in beating Cleveland' 8-3. Ernie Bonham wins his 20th game' and Joe DiMaggio collects 4 hits.
On other 14ths of September…
2008: Carl Pavano wins his second straight start for the Yankees… A mere 562 days after his last one, on opening day 2007. 'American Idle' is the lucky recipient of the instant offense when A-Rod's 1st inning grand slam and Jason Giambi's two-run jolt in the 2nd gives him a quick 6-0 lead in an 8-4 Yankee win over Edwin Jackson and division-leading Tampa Bay at the Stadium. Mariano Rivera's 478th save ties him for second on the all-time list with Lee Smith. Derek Jeter adds a solo homer.
1999: The Yankees rally with a pair of grand slams – for just the third time in club history that two salamis have been hit in one game – to beat the Blue Jays 10-6. Bernie Williams ties the game with a slam in the 8th inning' and Paul O'Neill wins it in the 9th with one of the walkoff variety.
1994: With the Yankees leading the AL East, the remainder of the baseball season is cancelled by acting commissioner Bud Selig after 34 days of the players' strike. There will be no World Series for the 1st time since 1904.
1974: Graig Nettles homers for the Yankees in the first inning' and brother Jim Nettles homers for the Tigers in the 2nd. This is the second time that the two brothers have homered in the same game for different teams' having done it previously on June 11' 1972' when Graig was on Cleveland and Jim was with Minnesota. Graig's team win 10-7.
1956: In a 5-1 win at Detroit' Yogi Berra hits his 29th homer of the year and the 236th of his career' passing Gabby Hartnett's mark for catchers. Don Larsen scatters 4 hits for the victory.
1952; At Cleveland' 73'609 cheer the second- place Indians in their final meeting of the year with the first place Yanks. Cleveland' winners of 9 of their last 10 games' have Mike Garcia' 4-0 this year vs. New York' against Eddie Lopat. Garcia' who had not given up a run in his last 28 innings pitched' allows 4 runs in the first 4 innings. Reliever Lou Brissie serves up Mickey Mantle's 20th homer in the 5th to put New York up 5-0. Allie Reynolds relieves a tired Lopat and New York win 7-1 to stay 2 1/2 games ahead of the Tribe.
1951: At the Stadium' the Yanks move into first place with a 5-1 win over the Indians. Joe DiMaggio triples in the 5th with two on to send the Yanks on their way.
1940: The Yankees finally erupt against Detroit pitching' bombarding Bobo Newsom for a 16-7 win. Joe Gordon (below) swats two homers and Joe DiMaggio has two doubles among his 4 hits as he takes over the AL hitting lead from Rip Radcliff. The Tigers lead the AL by 1/2 game as Red Sox rookie Earl Johnson stops the Indians' 2-1.
1935: The Yankees split with the AL-leading Tigers' winning 2-1 and losing 5-1. Johnny Broaca is the winner in the opener over General Crowder' while Roxie Lawson tops Jumbo Brown in game 2. Hank Greenberg' leading the AL in hitting at .346' is 0-for-7 for the
afternoon' with 5 strikeouts. 'The hooting and jeering which some of the fans turned loose against Hank wasn't much of a tribute to the
sportsmanship of his home town' reports the New York American.
1924: Jerry Coleman, member of the Yankee infield platoon on the great teams of the '50s, is born. Happy 88th, Jerry,.. Hang a star on it!
1920; The Yankees increase their AL lead to 1 1/2 games by topping the Tigers 13-3, Bob Shawkey getting the win for New York. Cleveland and the White Sox are both shut out' the A's beating the Indians 8-0 and Washington whitewashing the Sox 7-0. Chicago are now 2 1/2 games back.
1916: Exercising a baseball superstition' Tiger manager Hughie Jennings (below) designates it 'Shocker Day' in honour of former Detroit sandlot star Urban Shocker' the rookie starter for the visiting Yankees. Instead of being jinxed by the 'honour'' Shocker puts a crimp in the Tigers' first-place notions with a 4-2 win. The Yankees use a rare double suicide squeeze to score two runners' from second and third, to win.
1904: The Boston Americans' with a half-game lead over the New York Highlanders' send Bill Dinneen to the mound.Patsy Dougherty leads off with a single off Dineen and Willie Keeler follows with a bunt that catcher Lou Criger heaves into the crowd to allow Patsy to score. Keeler scores a play later. Boston's only tally comes in the 9th on a 2-base error and a wild pitch. New York win 3-1. The nitecap is called after 5 innings and a 1-1 score.

If your favorite oak has invasive roots, call a professional Suffolk tree service that can get the job done right.

Ribbed Bootsock
We love this new version,* it stays up with a perfect stretch, when you slouch them they remain where you put them. All in all, a great second act to the Classic boot sock. Made in the USA.
Label says sock size 10-13, shoe size 8-12.
We've found that these fit up to a men's US size 12 and still fit our women's size 8 as well! Plenty of room on our 19 inch calf tester too. The ankles stretch to about 14 inches.
About 12 inches from heel to top of cuff, unstretched.
Additional Info: *They're not quite the same as E.G. Smith's Original Bootsock, these don't slouch as much and their fiber blend is a little different (the Original had 99% cotton and as a result, didn't stay up on average legs for anything).
Fiber Content: 94% cotton, 5% nylon, 1% spandex.
Machine wash warm with like colors, tumble dry low.
Label: EG Smith
is the orange a bright, hunter orange?
Would love to know when you get all colors in stock as I would like to order several more pairs, also how about more colors. I like these better than the original boot socks which does come in more colors but doesn't stay up as well
Do these "boot socks" have the padded heel back and sole, or is this just a description of the style? I've bought "boot socks" from western wear stores before that have the extra thick padding in boot-rub areas, so I'd like to get more here if I can.
You guys are absolutely amazing and I recommend all my friends to you! Never seen better quality thigh highs/tights EVER! TY
