Title: Heirloom plants for Gault Homestead in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
Dear Mr. Smarty Plants, The Gault Homestead at 2106 Klattenhoff in the middle of Wells Branch Subdivision is to be planted with heirloom or heritage plants soon. There is some sun for the planter boxes 21 feet long, 2 feet high and 2-1/2 feet wide in front of the house. Can you suggest plants from 1836 to 1860 that might have been planted (Oxblood Lily for example) A larger shaded area to the right of the cabin is 40' long and variable width 3-8 '. Can you suggest shade tolerant herbs or flowers?ANSWER:
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to the care and propagation of plants native to North America, and to the area in which they are being grown. By definition, all of the native plants of this area were here before 1836 or 1776 or the arrival of humans. The native plants have evolved and developed to flourish in the climate, soil and rainfall of their area over many thousands or millions of years. But we don't think that is what you mean by heirloom or heritage plants. We understand your query was generated by someone asking us about an oxblood lily. In our answer to that original question we pointed out that Rhodophiala bifida is a native of Uruguay and Argentina and thus does not appear in our Native Plant Database. It is, however, an heirloom plant in Texas, brought here by German settlers. This illustrates our point that "native" does not necessarily equate to "heirloom." We know that some native plants were used for food and medicinal purposes before Europeans came to the United States, bringing their own plants with them, in many cases. Some of those plants are still being used today in some cultures for the same purposes.
We found some sources that can give you better information than we can. First, an article Heirloom Plants for Texas Gardens, an excerpt from the book The Southern Heirloom Garden by William C. Welch and Greg Grant. Another article by Dr. Welch of Texas A&M University The Southern Heirloom Garden has a link in it to the above site, also. If you can accept native plants that have been here a VERY long time, we will give you a list of plants native to this area, for sun (6 hours or over of sun a day), part shade (2 to 6 hours of sun) and shade (less than 2 hours of sun). Since you have fairly large areas to deal with, we will list some attractive shrubs and smaller herbaceous flowering plants. Some will be perennials, but we will certainly throw in Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) which is a reseeding annual. If you have difficulty locating any of these plants, go to our Native Plant Suppliers section, type in the name of your town and state and you will get a list of native plant, nurseries, seed suppliers and landscape and environment consultants in your general area.
Native annual herbaceous flowering plants
Amblyolepis setigera (huisache daisy) - part shade
Dracopis amplexicaulis (clasping coneflower) - part shade
Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) - sun
Phlox drummondii (annual phlox) - sun, part shade
Native perennial herbaceous flowering plants
Coreopsis lanceolata (lanceleaf tickseed) - sun, part shade, shade
Echinacea purpurea (eastern purple coneflower) - sun, part shade
Melampodium leucanthum (plains blackfoot) - sun, part shade
Salvia coccinea (blood sage) - sun, part shade, shade
Native shrubs
Ilex decidua (possumhaw) - sun, part shade
Leucophyllum frutescens (Texas barometer bush) - sun, part shade
Mahonia trifoliolata (agarita) - sun, part shade
Pavonia lasiopetala (Texas swampmallow) - sun, part shade

5 things to know: UPMC protest ... Altoona nurses OK contract ... generic drug inspections ... WVU's $5M gift ... Alcoa

- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
It's Monday, March 3, 2014. Here are five things you need to know in Pittsburgh-area business today:
UPMC protests continue this week
OnePittsburgh and others are planning a march toward UPMC headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh on Monday morning.
The protest is part of an effort to get UPMC to increase wages and recognize unionization efforts, one of a number of actions over the past several weeks. Demonstrations by clergy led to nine citations handed out Friday at UPMC headquarters.
We will be covering the protest later Monday.
Altoona nurses OK contract
UPMC Altoona nurses approved a three-year contract Friday that provides for raises and staffing levels equal to the ones from the previous contract.
The Altoona Mirror breaks down the contract and reviews the back and forth between UPMC and the nurses, which led to a one-day strike last month.
Generic-drug inspections on the increase
The Food and Drug Administration is stepping up its inspections of imports of generic medications.
Bloomberg said the concerns center on drugs made in India and imported to the United States, which has banned the import of drugs made in four Indian plants. Mylan Inc. (Nasdaq: MYL) in Cecil Township is one of the largest generic drug manufacturers in the world and has supported efforts to police the quality of generic drugs. Mylan has extensive operations in India with the acquisition of Agila and told Bloomberg its quality standards are the same in the U.S. and India.

Description The present invention relates to a seat, especially a children's seat, which may be height adjusted in relation to a stem which the seat is fastened to, said stem being equipped with a telescopic length-adjustable footrest. A children's trolley with height-adjustable seat is known from prior art, and is described in Norwegian patent application 2001 5159, wherein the seat may be fastened onto the central stem at different levels. Height regulation of this manner may be achieved by known methods such as through clamping means or snap-on locks, which clamp around the main stem, or a hole/pin system. The disadvantage with these systems is that they are cumbersome and time consuming to use. From regular children's trolleys, footrests are known which may be adjusted at an angle according to whether the child is sitting upright or sleeping, or is lying in a position somewhere between. Such footrests may be rotated around an axis at the extreme of the seating area of the seat. The disadvantage with these solutions is that the length of the footrest is suited to the largest children for which the trolley is designed. Therefore, the footrest is in the way, when a small child or baby uses the trolley, as only a small part of the footrest is used. Furthermore, adjustable foot blocks are known from children's bicycle seats, which may be secured at different heights in the extension of the seat, which project downward on either side of the bicycle, often in order to protect the child from the spokes of the wheel. The seat is of a size which should fit a child up to a certain age. When the foot blocks or footrests are used in the upper position for a small child, large parts of the lower part of the seat are not used, thus occupying space when, for example, the seat is dismantled and stored. The foot blocks are equipped with coupling devices which fit into receiving coupling devices at different heights on the seat itself. Generally, one foot block must be adjusted at a time, and the user of the bicycle must park the bicycle and use both hands to do so. There therefore exists a need for a footrest which may be adjusted in length in a simple manner, without occupying unnecessary space and which may possibly be removed and attached as required, preferably single handedly. Furthermore, there is a need for the possibility to adjust the height of the trolley seat in a quick and simple manner during use, and not only as the child grows. The object of the present invention is to obtain a seat for children for use in, for example, a trolley which may be height adjusted in a simple manner, and which has a footrest which may be adjusted to fit the child using the seat, and which does not occupy unnecessary space. The above objects are attained by a locking device and a seat as described below. The present invention therefore concerns a locking device and a seat with a telescopic footrest for use in a trolley as shown in The locking device shown in In the present embodiment, the locking device 1 is formed as a casing 4 around the figure of the stem as shown in The sectional profile of the locking device 1, may advantageously be essentially the same shape as the stem 2, in order to avoid dirt and particles jamming between the two elements. The locking device 1 is further equipped with a friction element 5 and a handle 6, rotating eccentrically and used to tighten the friction element 5 against the stem 2, creating sufficient friction between the locking means 1 and the stem 2. In this manner a seat 3 fastened to the locking device 1 may, for example, retain its position on the stem even with the load of a child. In order to lock the handle 6 and provide resistance against unintended release, the locking device 1 is equipped with a spring 8, in this embodiment, located between the handle 6 and the friction element 5. It is also advantageous for increased security if the stem 2 is equipped with a friction pattern 7, such as grooves or indents, increasing the friction against the friction element 5 which may be made of an elastic material which adapts to the friction pattern. The friction element 5 may possibly be a hard material such as plastic and may have the counterpart pattern of the friction pattern 7 on the stem 2, such that the locking device 1 tolerates heavy loads when it is tightened firmly with the handle 6. The locking device 1 may be an integrated part of the seat 1, or another module which may be fastened onto the stem 2 of, for example, a trolley or a stem of a chair. The locking device may possibly contain fastening or coupling means, making it possible to fasten modules to it, such as a baby seat, a luggage holder, or a bracket for such modules. As the seat 3 may be adjusted to different height positions, it is advantageous if the seat 3 comprises a telescopic foot rest 20 as shown in The locks 23 may be operated by the handles 24, thus releasing the footrest 20 which may be removed from the seat. This may be preferable if the seat is used for babies who do not need the footrest, thereby reducing the weight of the seat and occupying less space. By employing a seat 3 on a trolley as shown in Classifications

How are people still getting it wrong 3 months after the answer was given?
perhaps they don't want to go looking for the answer before attacking it themselves?
You are correct DalaiLuke.
They want to check if their answer is correct without looking first on the solution.
Anyway, Scottrf had solved this problem 3 months ago.
If this problem is new to you. Or if you've first encounter this problem, then you are free to solve without looking on the answer.
2013 is full of challenges. Solve this problem and feel great!

Tragic echoes of Hillsborough
One man who lost his two teenage daughters in the 1989 disaster in which 96 fans were crushed to death, said the latest soccer stadium tragedy "was Hillsborough all over again".
"I immediately felt anger. Will they never learn? Have people not listened to us? We predicted there would be another disaster but hoped it would never come true," Trevor Hicks, chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said.
Mr Hicks had watched helplessly as his two teenage daughters died in the crush, trapped behind the fences on the terraces of the Sheffield stadium. A large group of fans had gathered outside and clamoured to be let in. Fearing a riot, police opened the gate and allowed the group to enter an already filled terrace section, trapping fans along the fences.
First reports of the disaster on Wednesday night at the stadium where the Costa Rican and Guatemalan national teams were to compete for a berth in the 1998 World Cup in France spoke of overcrowding, a crush in a tunnel and people being trapped against pitchside fences. The echoes of Sheffield were stark.
"It came flooding back, and I felt physically sick," Mr Hicks said. "The lessons of Hillsborough haven't been learned, just as the lessons of Heysel and Ibrox haven't been learned."
Survivors' testimonies also had terrible echoes of 1989. Guatemalan and Costa Rican fans tried to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on victims, many blue and purple from apparent lack of oxygen. Bodies lay for hours inside the stadium, at least 15 children reportedly among them.
"Thoughts of a similar tragedy inflicted on our own football seven years ago still remain with us," the English Football Association's chief executive, Graham Kelly, said. "The events of that dreadful day are somehow still difficult to comprehend or accept. Now the world family of football mourns for Guatemala."
If the tragedy echoed that of Hillsborough so, too, did the mistakes. The use of fences to prevent fans getting on to the pitch was a "disgrace", the chairman of Liverpool city council's working party on Hillsborough said yesterday.
"I consider that the Hillsborough tragedy might not have been as great if they never had the fences up. If a problem develops there is nowhere for people to go," Jack Spriggs said. "In Britain, fences in major stadiums no longer exist to allow for the remote possibility of something like Hillsborough happening again, and we have also seen the introduction of all-seater stadiums."
In Britain, the inquiry after the 1989 disaster changed the face of football stadiums for ever. Lord Justice Taylor, who headed it, said inadequate responses to the "gross overcrowding" had caused the tragedy. "[Pens] were already over-full because no safe maximum capacities had been laid down, no attempt made to control entry to individual pens numerically, and there was no effective monitoring of crowd density," he said.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.39 / 5.00 6,083 ViewsSeason's Greetings! I made this animation for my little sister Emmy. As do many Harry Potter fans about her age, she harbors just a slight crush on the likes of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and possibly Alan Rickman (she denies that.) So, in lieu of tracking the actual actors down and forcing them to become her boy-toys, I made her this little song and animation.
That's the funniest one I've seen today!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! That's the funniest one I've seen today! Oh my goodness! I just wish it were for me! And replace Harry with Lucius and Ron with Freorge...HAHAHA Who am I kidding? It was great as-is!
I loved this little animation actually. I sure hoped you had a happy Christmas, Neil.
Favorite line: "With a ribbon in my... (Harry and Ron) CANDY CANE!"
i saw this and thought that iyt was just outrageously funny
i really enjoy all of your other videos as well

PC gaming over the past few years has taken off with games like League of Legends and CS:GO as these are games that most people can play on pretty much any PC system. With that happening we have seen an influx of PC gaming gear on the market, while not always the best gear for the price ether. There are a few great companies out on the market who make great entry level gaming gear. One of them who have stepped up to the plate with some great gaming gear over the past year is Cooler Master's CM Storm line. Today we will be taking a look at the CM Storm Octane Gaming Gear Combo, which is made up of a gaming keyboard and mouse.

We all know looking for a perfect keyboard and mouse for everyday tasks can sometimes be a pain. Not many companies focus on some of the basic needs of most users out there. Most of the time if the product is not gaming related than it is going to be cheaply made and has some weird flower designs. Rapoo has been the number one wireless keyboard and mouse company in China for the past few years and has won numerous I.F. awards. They focus on only wireless devices, and today we are going to be taking a look at their 8900P Advanced Wireless Mouse and Keyboard combo.

Many gamers have heard of the company Roccat before as it is a gaming accessory company based out of Europe. They have been bringing their high end products to the USA for a few years now. One of their big sellers was their ISKU gaming keyboard which had many different macro combinations you were able to utilize thanks to the Easy Shift[+] Zones they incorporated to the keyboard along with the Thumbster keys. Now that Rocact has moved into mechanical keyboards and they have used the ISKU platform and changed a few things around and tossing in some Cherry MX Black switches which lead to the birth of the Roccat Ryos MK Glow keyboard.

A headset of any kind is a very important accessory for your PC. Whether you are gaming or simply listening to music a headset allows you to immerse yourself in what you are doing on your PC. ROCCAT's original Kave 5.1 headset was a huge hit and their mission with the new Kave XTD 5.1 Digital was to rebuild the successful headset from the ground up. One thing that really sets this headset apart from others is the desktop remote, which acts as an audio command center for your PC. Will this be the best headset we have seen all year? Read on as we find out.

Over the past few months I have been hooking up my phone to my Stereo or PC speakers via a 3.5mm audio jack. Which also means I have to leave it plugged in next to my TV or my PC and when I receive a phone call I then have to remove the phone and answer and redo the whole process when I get off the phone. I have a very nice home theatre system and really don't feel the need to upgrade to get the special perks of some of the new technology. Portable Bluetooth speakers are great when you're out on the go but not when you want to be in your house and want to listen to music on your home theatre system. Well over the past few years there have been some options, but they all cost a good chunk of change. A few weeks ago I received the Diamond Wireless Music Receiver which broadcasts over Bluetooth. Lets take a look and see if this wireless music receiver will fit your needs in your house.

2014 seems to be a good year for both PC gaming and console gaming. With so many different games being launched, one of the universal things every gamer needs is a great gaming headset. We need something we can wear for hours comfortably without any issues. Some of us also run into issues of having multiple systems and would love to use the same headset for both. Well it looks like Cooler Master made that headset and called the CM Storm Ceres 500. The CM Storm Ceres 500 is supposed to work on PC/PS3/PS4 and Xbox. You are also supposed to be able to have it hooked up to 2 different systems at the same time and with a flip of the switch go from one system to the other. Now lets see if you will make the switch to the CM Storm Ceres 500.

Region thawing out, some problems persist
The region is getting back to normal as the snow and ice begins to melt.
Some problems continue, however, including hazardous conditions in the Gresham area. As of 9:00 a.m. Monday, City Transportation Operations Superintendent Rae Sorenson described the vicinity of 181st Avenue and Interstate 84 as a "solid sheet of ice," and urged caution between Sandy Boulevard and Glisan Street on 181st Avenue.
Gresham transportation crews and the Oregon Department of Transportation "are tackling it with everything we can put on it to get it to melt," including sanding trucks and de-icing equipment, said Sorenson.
In Portland, all city offices were scheduled to open at 10 a.m. Monday. That includes all Portland Parks & Recreation community centers and pools 10 a.m. They had all closed over the weekend.
Buckman Pool will still be be closed on Monday, however, as will all SUN schools.
Most flights were expected to operate at Portland International Airport. As of Monday monring, only two flights were cancelled, but as always, travelers are encouraged to check their flight schedules for any possible changes before coming to the airport. Flight schedules are available at http://www.pdx.com, or by contacting airlines.
Transportation officials were still urging drivers to exercise caution, however. That includes those in Gresham, where roadways were wet with some icy spots, particularly in the higher elevations.

BOSTON -- The Red Sox optioned shortstop Jose Iglesias to Triple-A Pawtucket and activated shortstop Stephen Drew from the disabled list on Tuesday, sources confirmed.
Drew had been on the 7-day concussion DL after being hit in the helmet by a pitch on March 7. In four rehab games with Double-A Portland he hit .154, going 2-for-13 with a run scored, a home run in his last game on Monday, three RBI, two walks and three strikeouts.
In six games this season Iglesias hit .450, going 9-for-20 with three runs scored, two doubles, an RBI, and three strikeouts.
The Sox acquired Drew as a free agent in the offseason, on a one-year, $9.5 million contract, with the intent of sending Iglesias back to Triple-A Pawtucket to work on his offense. In 25 major league games last season, Iglesias hit .118, going 8-for-68, with just three extra-base hits (two doubles, home run), two RBI, five runs scored, four walks, and 16 strikeouts.
The Sox, along with scouts, were impressed by the improved plate approach Iglesias had shown this season and in spring training.

'Smash' Duo Craig Zadan, Neil Meron Sign Development Deal With Universal Television, NBCUniversal
The studio will have a first-look option at series and specials created by the pair behind NBC's Broadway drama.
Smash executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have singed a first-look deal with Universal Television and NBCUniversal International.
Under the pact, the studio will have a first look at series and specials for domestic and international television markets created by the award-winning duo behind NBC's Broadway drama.
"Universal Television is thrilled to be continuing and expanding our partnership with Craig and Neil," Universal Television vp Bela Bajaria said in announcing the news Tuesday. "The incredible creativity, vision and intelligence that they bring to all their projects -- on television, in film and on Broadway -- is exactly what the future of Universal Television is all about. Smash is only the beginning; we look forward to collaborating with them on many exciting projects going forward."

The duo, who executive produce Smash, also are working on a live broadcast special of the 1959 stage musical The Sound of Music, with casting underway on the original effort that likely will premiere around the holidays. Their credits also include Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva and the cable network's upcoming TV movie adaptation of Steel Magnolias, starring Queen Latifah. Their résumé also includes numerous other TV, stage (How to Succeed in Business Without Even Really Trying with Daniel Radcliffe) and theatrical efforts (Chicago, Hairspray, Footloose).
"Craig and Neil are two of the best producers in the business, and we are excited to have them developing at NBCU for both the U.S. and International markets," NBCUniversal International Television Production president Michael Edelstein said. "We look forward to bringing their extraordinary ideas to the global television marketplace."
Zadan and Meron are repped by CAA and Morris Yorn.
The duo's deal comes a day after NBCUniversal inked Ricky Martin to a deal to develop and star in his own TV series and mere hours after the studio signed a similar pact with John Legend.

Utah Utes football notebook: Team in 'game week' mindset
SALT LAKE CITY — Although it seemed like a Saturday morning, as far as coach Kyle Whittingham and the Ute football team were concerned, it was a Tuesday afternoon practice at the McCarthey practice field as the team prepares for Thursday night's opener against Pitt in Rice-Eccles Stadium.
The Utes are in a regular practice routine with the scout team wearing different colored jerseys (yellow) as the Ute offense works on specific plays and the scout team offense tries to mimic the Pitt offense. They'll take today off as usual, then Monday will be like a Wednesday practice, Tuesday like a Thursday and Wednesday's walk-through, like a normal Friday.
"We have the right mentality and work ethic, and now it's a matter of going out the making the right plays Thursday night," Whittingham said. "We've had good focus and concentration all throughout fall camp.
UTE PLAYER TRIVIA: A few things you may have never known about Ute players, revealed in the Ute football media guide ...
— The father of freshman safety Damian Payne played college football at Pitt.
— Although he played high school football in Michigan, Neli A'asa grew up in a village in Pago Pago, Samoa.
— Lamar Chapman dedicates every game to his brother Raymar, who was a victim of violent crime at age 16.
— DeVonte Christopher's father played basketball for Southern Utah in the mid-1990s.
— Sealver Siliga has 10 siblings: five brothers and five sisters.
— Westlee Tonga's brother-in-law is former BYU running back Reno Mahe.
— Trevor Reilly, whose younger brother, A.J., played for the Utah basketball team in 2007, set a world record in 2004 for onion eating.
— Kapua Sai, who seems to have the second-shortest name on the team (behind Nai Fotu), actually may have the longest. His full name is Klayton Kapuaa Keanu Ki'ilaweau Sai.
— Chaz Walker once won the state karate championship.
— Dres Anderson's father, Flipper, played in the NFL for 10 years.
— Star Lotulelei's full name is Starlite, and he is named after his father.
— Offensive lineman Daniel Bukarau is the only player on the team who began his career at Utah in 2003, Urban Meyer's first year.
INJURY UPDATE: Whittingham said the Utes are on an "uptrend" on the injury front with only a handful of guys still working out in the injury pit. Two players, receiver Sean Fitzgerald, and backup guard Ron Tongaonevai, returned to action Saturday.
Whittingham also said backup running back Sausan Shakerin is out "indefinitely" with a concussion and starting linebacker J.J. Williams is "50-50 at best" to play Thursday night. Whittingham stressed Williams is one player the Utes would really like to have ready for Thursday.

Sometimes a project just slows to a halt and languishes for years and years. That is what happened to my Vitus 997.
I bought it back in 2011, as a frameset with stem and bars, but a broken derailleur hanger. Vitus 992 Questions - Were There Any Carbon Ones?
The hanger was replaceable, but no-one sold the replacements, which is why the PO sold the frameset for $100 after shifting his rear derailleur into the spokes. I looked and looked for the hanger, emailing and calling bike stores all over the place, even some in France. Finally I took the broken bits of the old hanger, made a CAD drawing, and had a local water jet place cut me some blanks, one of which I tapped and installed on the bike. Making A Derailleur Hanger (Vitus 992)
The next year I was given some Campagnolo Record brakes for the project, which gave me the idea to build the bike with all Record bits. Silly, but what did I know.
I found a set of Record Titanium hubs quite cheap, and built my very first set of wheels using Mavic Open Pro rims and butted spokes. I was very proud. Then I learned that someone had cut the rear axle short to fit in a 126 mm frame, but the Vitus is 130 mm, and naturally I hadn't checked the axle length. And then I discovered that the Record Titanium hubs used a titanium axle that is incompatible with any other Campagolo hub, and of course those axles are long since NLA. There was no solution but patience. After the better part of a year searching on eBay, I found a single Record Titanium rear axle for sale somewhere in Eastern Europe. Needless to say, I grabbed it.
Meanwhile I was collecting parts. This took forever, mostly because I didn't know what I was doing. I mean literally. Initially I planned a conventional 2 x 10 setup, and I wanted all alloy parts, so I bought that era of Record drivetrain. Then I switched to a road triple, and so I now needed a whole 'nother set of drivetrain parts. This meant finding a Campagnolo Record triple crank and long cage rear derailleur, which took time. Never fear, the previous Record double stuff went to a good home. The Vitus requires an unusually small diameter seatpost, and that took some finding as well. I spent over a year finding this stuff.
The last obstacle was the brifters. Campagolo Record 10 speed brifters turned out to be too expensive on the used market, considering how much I'd already wasted with my incompetent project mismanagement. The Vitus was hung up in the garage to gather dust for two more years. Finally Campagnolo came out with 11 speed and the fast flush guys started selling enough of their 10 speed gear that I finally scored an affordable set of Record 10 brifters. Now I had everything needed.
And yet I didn't build the bike. I'd stopped thinking of it as an active project. It was just the dusty black half-finished bike that bonked me in the head occasionally.
Until today I walked into the garage, pulled the bike down, and started putting it together.
Here is how it looks so far.
Parts list at present:
- Record 10 alloy triple crank
- Record 10 front derailleur (a standard double, I hope it works)
- Record 10 long cage carbon rear derailleur
- Record 10 carbon brifters
- Record Titanium hubs
- Mavic Open Pro rims, silver
- Unknown butted spokes, black, might be DT Swiss but I can't recall, with brass nipples
- Record brakes
- Record bottom bracket, if I recall it is 111 mm or thereabouts as required by the triple crank, and I think it has a carbon shell (can't recall anymore)
- Look carbon seat post (hopefully it will stand up to the the Vitus' grub screw mechanism, I have a couple alloy posts as well)
- Campagnolo cable kit, basic black
- Cinelli stem, quill, silver
- Ritchey ergo bars, black
I'm doubtful about the bars. They came with the bike. I think they are ugly but plan to try them out, unwrapped, just to see. If I don't love them, I met a guy recently who is always looking for these bars so I can sell them easily. I'd be kind of interested in trying a carbon bar. I'm also doubtful about the stem. It is pretty enough, but probably too short at 120 mm, and I'd like a black stem to match the black post. If I keep the post, I may go looking for a black 140 mm stem. I have a 140 mm Cinelli Groove threadless stem in black, that I could use with a threaded-to-threadless adapter. A friend is looking for a 120 mm stem so I would just gift the quill Cinelli to him.
Saddle is up in the air. I have a few rather battered ones in the bin to try out, including a Flite Ti in perforated black leather, some of which is scarred off. Bar tape can't be chosen until the saddle is selected, of course. I've favoring some flavor of Fizik perforated tape. And I will need a couple of bottle cages, rim strips, tubes, bottle cage bolts, and other odds and ends. Oh, and, umm, I am thinking about adding some inline levers. Yes, I'm serious. This is meant to be the do-anything, Swiss Army knife bike.
So here is my question - and I do have one - I'm not (just) rambling. This is only the second bike I have built with brifters. What is the proper, cool kid way to route the cables? Should they cross over at the head tube, or just kiss, or not touch at all? Should the left side cables go in front of the right side cables, or behind, if they do cross? Do left side cables go to right side cable stop and then the cables cross under the downtime, or do you keep everything on its original side? Do you carry the housings under the tape all the way to the stem? Do you leave enough slack for big graceful loops, or pull them tight and use tape to protect the frame from rubbing?
Housings are not cut in this pic. I think I won't cut the housings, or wrap the bars, until I decide if I'm keeping the bar and stem, meaning I will look like a dork for the first couple of rides.

Collected Wisdom: Spencer Tillman, former OU running back/CBS college football broadcaster
I've got four girls. I love my girls. But he was born and died shortly thereafter. To see something that looks like you, is built like you and totally dependent upon you, and physically is a spitting image of who you are, and not to be able to pour into their life ... maybe it's selfish to say this, but I was so looking forward to being a father to a son.
I've been able to be that to my girls, no question about that, but I would've loved to pal around with my little boy and do some of the things fathers get a chance to do. It was not to be. But I've got a special place in my heart for him. Blake is his name.
When my brother died, I was 28 years old and in the prime of my NFL career. I was with the San Francisco 49ers, and my sister called and told me what happened. I immediately flew to Oklahoma and was there at his deathbed.
I listened to him articulate the events that led up to that moment, and the individual who abused him, and basically told him that if he'd told anyone about it, he would kill everybody in our family. It absolutely shaped him and crushed him.
That's the reason why when this Jerry Sandusky garbage came out, I didn't hold back because I'd seen what it could do to the lives of the people involved. It was tragic because it had happened to my brother.
My family was in New York City, and some couple remembered that I worked at WABC, the ABC affiliate, and they asked me for my autograph. My 9-year-old — at the time — was looking up at me, and I caught her out of my peripheral, running back vision. When they left, she looked at me and said, 'Why do they want your autograph? You ain't nobody.' I was like, 'Well, you know that, and I know that. But they didn't know that.' My family keeps me grounded.

Problems with Front Desk Staff and Management
My recent three day stay at the Hampton Inn in Loveland was a nightmare, mostly due to the incompetent front desk staff and absent manager.
The room itself wasn't bad. Though, the wall-mounted heater/air conditioner was so noisy, I had to purchase earplugs to wear for my second and third nights there. Also, the water pressure in the shower was so weak, I had to adjust the shower head to the "massage" setting just to get enough pressure to wash the shampoo out of my hair (and I have short hair).
The worst part was the poor treatment I received from the front desk staff. An arrogant, college-aged male front desk clerk tried to tell me I couldn't stay there for my third (and final) night, because the hotel was booked and I had been listed (erroneously) as a one night guest. He refused to accept that his co-worker had made a mistake regarding the number of nights I needed my room. Unfortunately, I couldn't take up the problem with the manager, because she doesn't work on weekends (their busiest days)! After agreeing to pay $60 more than the original price quoted to me, I was "allowed" to stay there my final night. Later that night, another front desk clerk (an older man) overheard me complaining about the poor service I received, and he began shouting at me to "Shut up! Shut up! Go back to your room and go to sleep!!" I felt so threatened, I nearly called the police.
The current front desk staff and management at Hampton Inn in Loveland apparently aren't familiar with the old saying, "the customer is King". They were insulting, rude, and seemed to be going out of their way to remind me that Hampton Inn isn't a five star hotel.
