|Director's Cut Ultimate Collector's Edition
On the DVDs
Disc 1 contains the first two hours of Troy: The Director's Cut (specifically 1:57:18), with the remaining 78 minutes on disc 2. The film looks better than ever even on a standard-definition DVD. Disc 2 also contain just over 80 minutes of bonus features, with five major sections broken down into shorter sub-sections, all drawn from the same interviews with primary cast & crew and behind-the-scenes publicity footage. "Troy in Focus" (23 minutes total) provides an overview of epic-scale filmmaking. The film's elaborate battles and stunt sequences are explored in "In the Thick of the Battle" (17 min.), while "From Ruins to Reality" (14 min.) examines the historical facts about Troy and the film's show-biz approach (more for the eyes, less for history) to grand-scale production design with varying degrees of historical accuracy. "Troy: An Effects Odyssey" (10 min.) examines the film's elaborate use of CGI and other digital enhancements; and "Attacking Troy" (15 min.) is a production overview of the film's impressive nighttime siege on Troy, complete with a massive Trojan Horse that was later re-assembled for the film's international publicity campaign. Finally, "Greek Ship Towing" (1:20) is an amusing compilation of digitally generated practical jokes and "bloopers" designed, just for fun, by the film's digital effects animators. The original theatrical trailer for Troy is also included. --Jeff Shannon

I love all the actors and actresses in it- Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Diane Krugar, and Eric Banas.
One could argue that Hector is the most noble character in the whole movie, and that is something that really gets him nowhere in the end.
On the positive side, the movie is action packed, the special effects are great, the acting is very good and the cast are wonderful.
Potential to be a great movie. Great story, bad movie. I guess they felt the next to put lots of raunchy sex overtures in there, since they had Pitt. Read morePublished 11 days ago by flyboy

Well after renting and viewing both movies simultaneously, I can confidently say both movies are the longer director's cut version. However, the movie for $5.49 is in digital 5.1 surround sound while the $9.99 director's cut version is in 2-channel stereo. So there you have it the cheaper... Read More

Keep in mind that more movie files can be stored on a Blu-ray disc and therefore doesn't need 2 DVDs.

Guided tour of the exhibition titled Economie Humaine, organized by Hélène Maslard, project manager at the Contemporary Art Space.
This exhibition takes a look at the relationships artists have with the corporate world and, more broadly, with the economy.
"But why this exhibition? To demonstrate that the economy is not absent from the concerns of many contemporary artists. To show how the artistic vision of the economy eventually "humanizes" it. By imitating it, by subverting it, by broadening its practices sometimes to an absurd extent, by making it a subject not of tension but of relaxation..." note Paul Ardenne, curator of the exhibition, and Barbara Polla, associate curator.
Among the 22 artists who are contributing to this exhibition, some are world-renowned, such as Hervé Fischer, Lucy + Jorge, Conrad Bakker, and Burak Harikan.
Sign-up is compulsory. NB: to make the exhibition more easily viewable, the number of visitors is limited.
The HEC Finance Club cordially invites you to its next lunchtime debate.
Denis Payre, founder and former director of Business Objects, and Vice President of Nous Citoyens, will speak on: 'Key economic and political issues in France and Europe'.
From 10 to 12 February, the Social & Sustainable Business Week offers HEC students the chance to discover solutions to environmental and social problems, through a number of lectures, meetings, workshops and presentations. A careers fair dedicated to careers in the social economy sector will also take place during the week.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur
In Detail
Every Sketch Up user wants to present their designs in the best possible light. What better way to bring them to life than to present them in a genuinely photographic manner? Although the V-Ray render engine has been available to SketchUp users for a good number of years now, the release of the 2.0 Version takes the production of photographic renders in SketchUp to a whole new level.
Using the V-Ray for SketchUp rendering engine through with clear, step-by-step instructions and companion graphics, this guide will give you everything you need to get started. This book has been designed to progressively introduce you to all the V-Ray tools you will need to produce photographic renders using V-Ray.
The journey begins with basics of camera composition, lighting, texturing, and then rendering an interior scene using the V-Ray engine. Using the scene files provided, we will learn how to set up lighting rigs for both daytime and nighttime interior shots, as well as seeing how we can make good use of V-Ray's procedural day-lighting system on exteriors.
As a render will only be as believable as the component parts, we will learn the texturing system in V-Ray and how to use a variety of materials, maps, and layers to produce realistic surface properties for our geometry.
Before producing our final output, we will want to see how we can use the variety of quality control settings in V-Ray, including the Global Illumination and Image Sampling settings to produce a high level of quality for our project.
Add the finishing touches with some compositing and post-production techniques to bring out the full potential of the work you have done.
This book is filled with examples explaining the theoretical concepts behind them. Filled with ample screenshots, diagrams, and final rendered images, this book will help readers develop an understanding of photographic rendering with V-Ray.
Who this book is for
If you are a SketchUp user who would love to turn your favourite modelling application into a 'virtual photography studio', then this book has been designed and written for you. Existing V-Ray users will also find plenty to enjoy and benefit from in this book.
Some basic experience with SketchUp and familiarity with photography will be helpful, but is not mandatory.

Beliefs – these are plenty. Life, there is only one!
Mariana Fulger
Contributed by: mara
If life were only mathematics, we would all live a very dull life.
Possible issue of the conscience: today, which shall be my torment?
The world – much too little time was given to me to wander a land so full of wonders.
Send me a whisper, but one so dim that only my soul could hear.
My being keeps me put. If I only had soul, I would be far by now.
I live as it happens, sometimes as a happy king, otherwise as a contorted boot. That is life. Who to complain to?
Fear hasn't made and will never make really free men...
I do confess to abusing of feelings, but it is mutual...
I would approve to world peace, if only I wasn't afraid this would bring back nostalgia for war.

EVEN a cancer gene may have a good side. A study of people with African ancestry has revealed that a gene associated with cancer shows a pattern of variability that suggests it benefits carriers.
Alkes Price at the Harvard School of Public Health and Gaurav Bhatia at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studied the genomes of more than 12,000 African-Americans, Nigerians and Gambians. They were broadly similar, but sections of DNA within four genes were remarkably variable between populations.
"They really stood out," says Bhatia. Such variation implies that the four genes have evolved separately in each population in response to local pressures. In three of the genes, that evolution is known to have improved local resistance to malaria. The fourth gene, unexpectedly, turned out to be PSCA - a gene whose activity is strongly associated with bladder and prostate cancer (The American Journal of Human Genetics, DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2011.07.025).
"We presume this mutation also confers some benefit to those who carry it," says Price, although he adds that it's not yet clear what those benefits are.

Was Johan Santana's No-Hitter Legit?
- Updated: February 20, 2013
Mets fans waited 50 years for Johan Santana to throw the first no-hitter in the team's history.
But was it all a hoax?
Sure, Santana pitched the game of his life, capped by a devastating change-up that promoted an "It has happened!" from Gary Cohen. But what people undersell is the fact that Carlos Beltran, who now plays for the Cardinals, hit a screaming liner down the line that eluded David Wright and landed in fair territory.
Fortunately for Santana, the umpire didn't see it that way.
The play was called foul, and well, the rest is history. Does this negate the performance by Santana? No. Should the no-hitter be stricken from the record?
No chance in hell.
Think the opposite situation. Armando Galaragga was the pitcher for Detroit. He was closing in on a perfect game, an even rarer one than Santana accomplished. A ground ball was hit by Jason Donald, and it looked like he had a fair chance to beat it out. The throw clearly beat him by a half step, but for whatever reason, James Joyce called him safe.
It was a mistake. It happens.
Human error is just a much a part of baseball as any other thing. There are plenty of errors. Whether it's by the umpires or players, it shouldn't matter. The bottom line? It's part of the game.
What do you think? Should Johan Santana's no-hitter have counted? Tell us in the comments section below.
3 Comments
This is an unfair questions for everybody, Santana, Fans, Reporters… are we kids in a fair ground play. come on! If you don't have a possitive converssation don't start a negative one.. Lets go Mets.
Michael you are an idiot. Better not to write something so asinine this way we are not sure of your mental prowess.

Mugo pine disease
Two of our mugo pines have needles that are yellowing and turning brown. I'm afraid that I've lost the two plants already. I notice what seems to be white fungal growth on all the needles about 1/2 inch from the attachment to the branch. Is this what killed the pines or just an opportunistic fungus attacking an already compromised plant? Does anyone have any idea what might have killed the pine in the first place if not the fungus? There are no signs of worms or other predation. I don't want to lose any more pine that we have in the yard. Thanks for any help.
The "growth" on the needles sounds like wooly pine scale, Pseudophilippia quaintancii. It's a sucking insect that feeds on the needles. They're usually not fatal, but they can be an additional stress that leads to other problems, and infested branches may be discolored and stunted.
Here's a picture of wooly pine scale for comparison. It has been known to occur on mugo pine.
I have two mature trees, one is losing needles first turning yellowish then brown and then falling off.The problem is migrating from the center of the tree out towards the tips.I have noticed white deposits on the needles but nowhere near as severe as saccharum's photo of wooly pine scale.Where the tree was once dense the center is now open with bare branches.The other tree looks OK although I noticed a few small white deposits on this too. Any ideas for cause and treatment
First of all thanks to sacchrum for the info and photo. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I believe one or two of our mugo pines may have had the wooly pine scale. Two or three succumbed to the disease and died despite my spraying with insecticidal soap.
greenones, all of the mugo seem to have small white deposits but I think it is resin that the tree produces. I'm sorry I don't have any solution to your problem. Could it be that they need to be watered? We had a very dry August and the douglas firs were getting very stressed with branch tips browing.
Thanks for your comments. I have two Mugo's one on each side of the path, the other one looks OK. Yes there have been dry spells but it should affect both.
I have several other species of pine and am aware that some don't do well and that's not always apparent until they get large, I had to cut down a row of Douglas Fir that all failed at 40 feet high. I have Norway Spruce in the yard now to replace the Fir and I also have some mature specimens which are no trouble.
The Mugo's are a dilemma I've done systemic treatment and spray, so I will just have to wait and see.
What do you use to kill the insects? My yound mugo pine is infected. At first I thought it was spider mites, but the white stuff was a lot harder then the cotton stuff spider mites use. Since my pine is still small I have been scraping the white off and smashing it. I've also useddish soap and a little cooking oil to hopefully smoother then, so I'll see if it did any good. Any other advice? Thanks!

What we know after Week 8
OCT 28, 2013 7:19p ET
Want to be a contender in this league? Then you must win games you arenât supposed to.
What does that mean? Well, when teams are faced with adversity (injuries, large deficits, etc.), itâs how they respond that defines them. Every team in the NFL will deal with such challenges. The elite teams donât let it bother them.
Injuries to premier players ruled the NFL world in Week 7. This week, the cream of the NFL crop has begun to rise. The teams that we expect to watch in early January took care of business in their own respective way. Letâs call Week 8 Separation Sunday.
The Saints cruised to a win at home, while the Patriots overcame a 17-3 deficit after a slug-it-out first half against the Dolphins. The Chiefs remained unbeaten and the Broncos ripped off 38 unanswered points against the Redskins. Meanwhile, the 49ers and Bengals delivered the five-score beatings we expected out of them.
OK, letâs get into what we can take away after this eventful week of football:
Lions 31, Cowboys 30 â Matthew Staffordâs moxie cannot be contained
The Cowboys had the lead, the ball and all of the momentum very late in the fourth quarter. After questionable play-calling and a failure to run the ball with Phillip Tanner, they kicked a field goal to go up by six points. That gave Matthew Stafford the ball with 1:02 left. Let's be real, nobody gave the Lions much of a chance.
Well, how do you like that?
Stafford piloted a six-play, 80-yard drive which was capped by a QB sneak for a touchdown with seconds remaining. Boom.
While everyone assumes the NFC North is the Packersâ to lose, the Lions continue to find ways to win ugly games. Theyâve beaten just one team (Bears) with a winning record, but can separate themselves from their competitors in the division after their Week 9 bye.
Calvin Johnson had a historic day, hauling in 14 passes for 329 yards and a touchdown (a team record for yards and just seven yards short of Flipper Anderson's NFL record). The other star wide receiver on the field, the Cowboys' Dez Bryant, made some highlights on the field, but made more noise with his heated altercation with Jason Witten on the sideline.
Saints 35, Bills 17 â Young stars emerge in New Orleans
The Jimmy Graham news wasnât good on Sunday morning. NFL on FOX insider Jay Glazer reported that Graham has partially torn plantar fascia and that he would be on a âpitch count.â
While Grahamâs snaps were limited (with only three catches), he made the most of them, catching two touchdown passes.
Drew Brees connected with 10 different receivers, but none of the targets were as electric as rookie Kenny Stills. The Oklahoma rookie caught three passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns and is clearly becoming a home-run hitter.
The Saints defense continued to show why it is one of the leagueâs best, keeping the pressure on second-year quarterback Thad Lewis and forcing three turnovers out of him. Although Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has been limited with injuries the past couple weeks, he had an admirable performance with seven catches for 72 yards a TD.
The Saints get into the meat of their schedule beginning next week with a trip to the Meadowlands to play the Jets.
Broncos 45, Redskins 21 â Broncos exploded like a champion
So much so, the Redskins didnât seem to know what hit them. After all, things were looking up for Washington in the third quarter when DeAngelo Hall picked off a Peyton Manning pass and returned it for a touchdown and a 21-7 Washington lead.
Then the Broncos got to work. First, Montee Ball scored on a 4-yard run. Then Manning connected with Joel Dreesen for a 1-yard TD pass.
Thirty-seven seconds later, Manning delivered a 35-yard strike to Knowshon Moreno:
Then another 35-yarder to Demaryius Thomas:
Oh, by the way, Redskins star Robert Griffin III got hit hard and knocked out of the game on this play.
Feeling dizzy yet? Sorry, weâre not done. Redskins backup quarterback Kirk Cousins completed Denverâs scoring party when he threw an interception to Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie that was returned 75 yards for the final touchdown.
If youâre counting at home, thatâs 38 unanswered points from the Broncos, 31 of them in the fourth quarter. Ouch. Whatâs more, Manning came into the game nursing two sprained ankles. He still threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns â giving him a passer rating of 94.3 despite three interceptions.
Manning will have plenty of time to get back to 100 percent as the Broncos head into their bye week sporting a 7-1 record.
For the Redskins, it was scary to watch Griffin, who had offseason surgery, go down like that. Head coach Mike Shanahan says the injury isnât considered serious and Griffin was kept from returning to the game for precautionary reasons. However, with the team sitting at 2-5, things arenât looking good.
Watch here as RG3 admits the play did scare him.
However, all is still not lost as the Redskins are in an NFC East that is ⦠disgusting at best. Despite their record, the âSkins are just 1-1/2 games behind the division-leading Cowboys. So, if they can find a way to clean things up, a playoff spot isnât out of the question.
And isnât that kind of sad?
Bengals 49, Jets 9 â Hell hath no fury like Marvin Jones
Bonus points for anyone who knew about the second-year receiver out of Cal before Sunday. But if you didnât â like most people â you sure do now.
Jones and Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton made mincemeat out of a dilapidated Jets secondary as Jones pulled down a team-record FOUR touchdown catches on the day. He made amazing plays like this:
And this:
Jones ended up with eight catches for 122 yards. Dalton? He turned in his third straight dominant game, completing 19 of 30 throws for 325 yards FIVE touchdown tosses (another team record). The Bengals are now sitting pretty at 6-2, winners of four in a row and owners of a 2 1/2-game lead in the AFC North.
Now we come to the 4-4 Jets.
All we can say about Gang Green and rookie quarterback Geno Smith is: Gross!
Smith threw for just 159 yards and also had both of his interceptions returned for touchdowns, including this one by Adam Jones:
This came just a week after he played arguably his best game of the season against the Patriots. One step forward, one giant leap back.
To his defense, the Jetsâ running game also was a liability. When backup quarterback Matt Simms, who came on in relief of Smith late, is the teamâs leading rusher with 35 yards on 3 carries, thatâs just embarrassing.
Back to the drawing board, Rex.
Patriots 27, Dolphins 17 â Tom Brady doesnât need to carry this team
New England has relied on its superstar quarterback to bail it out of countless bad situations over the years. This time, the Patriots returned the favor.
The Dolphins came out strong, jumping out to a 17-3 halftime lead. Miamiâs running game was flourishing and its defense was putting strong hits on Brady:
Thank goodness games are 60 minutes long, right?
Brady led the Patriots down the field for a score to cut Miamiâs lead to seven, and on the next Dolphins possession, defensive back Logan Ryan struck:
That sack on Ryan Tannehill and subsequent fumble gave the Patriots plumb field position, which they took advantage of for the tying touchdown. That was 14 points in less than two minutes, and the rout was on.
After all the dust settled, the Patriots had scored 24 unanswered points to move to 6-2 on the season. This is with Brady completing just 13 of 22 passes for just 116 yards with one TD and one INT.
Good looking out, Patriots.
Giants 15, Eagles 7 â After 0-6 start, Big Blue in the thick of NFC East hunt
Mike Vickâs return to the Eagles offense didnât go as planned.
Not only did every drive he operate end in either a punt or a turnover, he also left the game early in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. Health has always been an issue for the 12th-year quarterback and it seems Chip Kellyâs offense isnât doing him any favors. Rookie Matt Barkley had his number called, but had an uneven performance.
The Giants defense capitalized on a young quarterback who clearly doesnât fit the spread-it-out, read-option scheme in Philly. Four players (Terrell Thomas, Antrel Rolle, Linval Joseph and Mathias Kiwanuka) tallied a sack on as the defense didnât allow an offensive score all day. The latter is very troubling for Philly as its offense hasnât been able to find the end zone for eight quarters (Sunday's TD was scored by the Eagles defense).
After the Giantsâ 0-6 start, theyâve won their last two games and are only two games out of first place in the NFC East. They enter their bye week and will play the Raiders in Week 10. They need the week of rest as theyâre very banged up.
And what a day for kicker Josh Brown as he put the ball through the uprights five times.
Chiefs 23, Browns 17 â 8-0 is 8-0
The Cinderella season continues in Kansas City. You have to hand it to the Chiefs, because that unbeaten record brings highly motivated opponents who canât wait to hand Kansas City its first loss.
"You want the stages to get bigger. That's why you put all the work in. You want this opportunity. You want that honor,â Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith told the Associated Press.
But was this a really grand stage? The Chiefs were playing at home and facing a subpar Browns team starting its third quarterback of the season in veteran Jason Campbell.
Yet, somehow, the leagueâs top-ranked defense allowed the Browns to do this:
Campbell had a nice performance on Sunday, completing 22 of 36 throws for 293 yards and two touchdowns and had the Browns within three points of a tie in the fourth quarter. But, the Chiefs defense made play after play down the stretch to secure the win.
However, Kansas City took somewhat of a beating from the âpunditsâ on Sunday.
The Chiefs might be the worst 8-0 team I've ever seen â Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) October 27, 2013
The Chiefs have run the half table! The Chiefs have run the half table! â trey wingo (@wingoz) October 27, 2013
"A win is a win," said the Chiefs fan, eating uncooked room temperature chicken and pretending nothing was wrong.
â sir broosk (@celebrityhottub) October 27, 2013
Every good team has a hiccup along the way. And the Chiefs are sure to find areas to improve when they watch the film from this game, but for now, it doesnât matter. A win against a bad team like the Browns is still a win. And yes, 8-0 is still 8-0.Chiefs 8-0 ya'll! Way to go @kcchiefs! â Rob Riggle (@RobRiggle) October 27, 2013
Packers 44, Vikings 31 â Green Bay makes it look easy in Minnesota
The Packers have been absolutely ravaged by injuries this season, but they were the ones who put a beating on the Vikings on Sunday night.
While Christian Ponder was making another start in front of his hometown crowd, he didnât dazzle anyone. Just six days after Josh Freeman, who is dealing with concussion-like symptoms, stunk up the joint, the Vikings went with Ponder against the Packers. The result? Meh.
It was Aaron Rodgers who did his usual Aaron Rodgers things, completing 24 of 29 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns in the win. The Packers running game, by way of Eddie Lacy and James Starks, has helped lessen the blow of injuries to receivers James Jones and Randall Cobb. Lacy and Starks each ran for a touchdown and combined for 151 yards on 36 carries.
49ers 42, Jaguars 10 â Not all football is good football
Thankfully, this game was played in England. Sure, it might hurt the NFLâs attempt to spread its brand on the global stage, but at least us Americans werenât forced to buy a ticket to this garbage.
What we saw on Sunday was the equivalent of the school bully taking his frustrations out on the wimpy kid.
It started early with Frank Goreâs 19-yard touchdown run.
And it all went downhill from there. QB Colin Kaepernick had another fine performance, typified by this nifty touchdown run in the first half.
The 49ers (6-2) earned their fifth straight win while the Jaguars fell to 0-8. Yawn. But hey, the day wasnât a total loss. Did you know that British fans know the Wave?
Cardinals 27, Falcons 13 â Arizona knows how to protect its house
Andre Ellingtonâs first start as the Cardinalsâ running back couldnât get much better.
Ellington, who was filling in for Rashard Mendenhall because of a toe injury, ran for 154 yards on 15 carries. He also rushed his way to an 80-yard score in the second quarter. The Cardinals found success on the other side of the ball, stifling the Falconsâ air attack. Matt Ryan threw four interceptions while trying to claw his way back from a 21-point deficit.
Raiders 21, Steelers 18 â Terrelle Pryorâs run steals the show
Oakland QB Terrelle Pryor set the tempo early with a 93-yard touchdown run and the Raiders never looked back.
The Steelers were faked out on a read-option play and Pryor was off to the races, his scoring run the longest in Raiders history and the longest by a QB in NFL history.
As time wore on, defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau tweaked his game plan and only allowed one first down over the Raidersâ final nine drives. Ben Roethlisberger, who is playing behind a moth-eaten offensive line, was sacked five times and couldnât do enough to stage the late comeback.
Pryor isnât the most polished pocket passer, but if he makes plays like he did on Sunday, he will continue to give opposing defensive coordinators fits.

(Reuters) - Amazon.com is in talks to buy online luxury retailer Net-a-porter in what could be the biggest acquisition yet for the e-commerce giant, but the negotiations are in early stages and could fall apart, Forbes reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. The potential deal, first reported by Women's Wear Daily, could value Net-a-Porter lower than the valuation of 2 billion euros ($2.16 billion) reported by the fashion industry trade journal, Forbes reported on Thursday, citing the person. Seattle-based Amazon has long eyed the high-end fashion retail sector and any deal for Net-a-Porter would mean a new commitment in an area where the company lacks a strong presence, Forbes said. Media reports in 2014 said Amazon was in talks to buy Indian fashion retailer Jabong.com for $1.2 billion.
Arab coalition warplanes bombed rebel camps in Yemen on Friday in a second straight day of strikes led by Saudi Arabia, which accused Iran of "aggression" across the region. Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia has vowed to do "whatever it takes" to prevent the fall of its ally President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, accusing Shiite Iran of backing the Huthi rebels' power grab. At dawn on Friday, three air strikes hit the presidential compound in south Sanaa which the rebels seized last month, witnesses said. The conflict has thrown up a major hurdle to Washington's longstanding drone war against Al-Qaeda militants who have exploited the power vacuum in Yemen since a 2011 uprising.

Boonen's Bold Move
7 / 12
Four-time winner Tom Boonen attacked early. Possibly considering that the best defense is a good offense, the Belgian favorite made the first big move of the day 75 kilometers from the finish. Although the break eventually failed, it served to set up his teammate Niki Terpstra for an impressive tactical victory.

Is it possible t switch the flat handle bars of a vintage bike to drop handle bars?
Is it possible t switch the flat handle bars of a vintage bike to drop handle bars?
Generally speaking, yes. Obviously need to switch out brakes as well. Ans shifters if not downtube. I have a bike on which it was done and it works fine. Although whoever did the conversion went with stem shifters, which is not the choice I'd have made.
There's a nice thread about Drop-Bar Vintage MTBs.
Show Your Vintage MTB Drop Bar Conversions
I've done three.
MTB front derailleurs can be problematic with brifters. Travel Agents might be needed if V-brakes are on the bike.
A few other details to think about. What bike ya want drop-barred?
1980ish Free Spirit Sunbird fixed * 1996 Mongoose IBOC Zero-G * 1997 KHS Comp * 1990-ish Scapin * Lemond Buenos Aires Triple
I did it on my Rapid, actually worked fine with the flat bar front derailleur too. But now I upgraded that to a 105 so it's a moot point. I went with Sora sti brifters.
Giant Rapid 3- COMMUTERIZED *IBERA*Nashbar*Tiagra*105*Velocity*Selle SMP*Gatorskin
Every commute is a race. I do victory laps in my driveway
It would probably cost a bit
Most expensive one was with $10 bars, $45 Ultegra brifters (that need some new hoods but still shift great) and a free front derailleur.
With all new parts it would be REALLY expensive.
1980ish Free Spirit Sunbird fixed * 1996 Mongoose IBOC Zero-G * 1997 KHS Comp * 1990-ish Scapin * Lemond Buenos Aires Triple
Drop bars are totally overrated. With riser bars, I'm as aero as 95% of drop bar commuter bikes (and actually more aero than many), and have as many or more hand positions with Cane Creek bar ends. Plus I get to use MTB hydro disc brakes.
I love my flat bars and risers but after about 3 miles of straight road riding I'm dying for a set of drops. Even some bar ends. I ride to most of the trail rides and STXC races I do, so just grin and bear it on those days, saying to myself "Just 7 more miles of road. OK, just 6 more miles..."
It's not even the aero I care about (unless it's a windy day), I just gotta have the hand positions.
1980ish Free Spirit Sunbird fixed * 1996 Mongoose IBOC Zero-G * 1997 KHS Comp * 1990-ish Scapin * Lemond Buenos Aires Triple
It is possible , as said, not cheap , unless you get another bike to cannibalize, for cheap/free ..Is it possible it switch the flat handle bars of a vintage bike to drop handle bars?
old guy, I now like figure 8 bend Trekking bars , as a simpler swap from straight bars ,
because of the ease of re using the contol levers off the staight bars .. is there .
Most LBS can get some . prefer online/mail order ? under $20..
XLC Multi Functional Trekking Bar, 580mm, 25.4, Black
Last edited by fietsbob; 04-17-14 at 12:08 PM.
IME and generally speaking, anything that is attached to the flatbars, sometimes including the stem, will have to be replaced due to an OD mismatch between the flatbar and tbe roadbar. there are exceptions.
Luckily going forward it'll be pretty easy in the stem dept. Most decent road and MTBs have 31.8mm clamp diameter these days. Both realms have also adopted the same diameter for the next size up - 35mm.
The 31.8mm agreement is one of the best things to happen in cycling in the last 20 years. That and Campy/Shimano/ Sram cassette spacing being the same for 11 speed. I still can't believe that one but I've heard it through the grapevine.

I still wish someone would make some 31.8 quill stems, though.

Is it really necessary ?? Can you afford it ??..Drop bar conversions can get tricky and expensive. Drop bars are good for people who have longer commutes and windy conditions.... For short city commutes and errands, flat bars with bar-ends or riser bars are much better. To do a drop bar conversion you will need new brake levers, new brake cables and cable housings, new shifters and new stem. You will need to experiment with different size stems until you get a comfortable fit...I've done it to one of my mountain bikes but mine is a singlespeed so it was very easy and cheap, no need for shifters ..To be honest the only reason why I've done it is because I just wanted my mountain bike to be a little different and not because it was necessary...The hardest part was getting the fit dialed in, I've tried about 5 different stems before everything was just right.
Origin8 Pro Fit ATB Quill Stem - 1" (22.2) 90 x 31.8mm, Black
Also available in 110mm. FWIW.
Tektro levers - $25/pr. Tektro Cross Levers - $25/pr. SunRace DT shifters 8sp. - $17 Stem $15 - ??? Civia Emerson Bar - $30 Come on, you guys spend more than that for rain gear. Cross levers are very optional but I like them, especially for a commuter.
It would make a big difference if you showed pics of the bike you want to convert. It's not necessarily expensive, depending on the bike, if you do it yourself, and if you have access to some old inexpensive parts. I did one one, it was cheap, but I did lose index shifting. I converted to friction down tube shifting (some people might not like that but I don't mind), which meant shifter compatibility wasn't an issue. The old mountain bike I used had Canti. brakes and they work well with the standard road brake levers that came off an old road bike I had. Just had to adjust the yoke height a bit on those brakes. The other thing that kept things simple was that I used old steel drop bars that have the same clamp size diameter as old mtn. bike bars. (25.4mm). It can be a little tricky if your not familiar with working on bikes and are unsure about compatibility (to me it's being unsure about compatibility that is the most challenging thing about bicycle mechanics), and it can be expensive if you want to keep your project light weight and high tech (Not something I was to worried about). BTW: I love my cheap drop bar conversion, I commute on that bike daily, I found the change in geometry made me quite a bit faster and more comfortable on that bike.

I would love to have the option to break while my hand is on top on the bar as well as inside the bar.
You could also put some bar-ends on your flat handlebars... Bar-ends will give you a more comfortable hand position on longer rides and they also give you more leverage to make hill climbing easier.
Origin 8 makes bolt on drop bars so you could keep your shifters and brake levers.
Amazon.com: Origin 8 Bicycle Drop Bar Ends, Black: Sports & Outdoors
I saw these quite a few years ago, but decided that I really don't use the drops much at all (even on a drop bar road bike) and found that just normal bar ends give you more hand positions and comfort similar to riding the hoods or top bar of the road bike...

Do you have a religion? I do. I follow Christianity. Some people follow Islam. Others follow Buddhism. These are religions worth learning about.
It was during the middle ages that Christianity became popular. It became a political power in Western Europe in 500 A.D. Christians believe that Jesus, the son of God, was sent to Earth and died on the cross to save humanity. Through faith in Jesus, one can be saved from God's punishment. Believers go to Heaven and have eternal life with God. This is very similar to another religion, Islam.

Why Are There Sharks? ...... [my wife's question; creation of animals; philosophy? ]
My wife asked me the other day
"Dear, why do sharks exist? "
To try to answer that now,
all my brain's power I must enlist.
But the other day I chose a coward's answer
to the question, vexing.
I said "the sharks dispose of weak and injured prey"
while keeping muscles flexing.
NOW I believe that was a stupid answer,
though that's some of what sharks do.
To the question "why do sharks exist",
that is not at all an answer true.
[At least I don't think it is.]
Some will say sharks exist
"because God was in a "MOOD" that day".
Some will say "to provide thrills and chills
on movie screens". Some will say.
Some will say "because when Mother Nature built them,
She was going through.....menopause".
But after giving this question ALL the power
of my brain, I say "JUST BECAUSE".
[That's what I say.]

The guitarist for Fort Collins' Aspen Hourglass often uses a difficult two-hands-on-the-fretboard technique that Eddie Van Halen first popularized but which players such as Erhard have developed beyond pop-rock vulgarity.

List of ALL
Fraser poems
Carl Fraser
The haggard white bearded man pressed the beans into my
Firmly folding my hand over them with a Fatherly squeeze
And with a Wizards twinkle in his bloodshot eyes he quietly pleads
"Take my son, to a secluded place of your choosing and listen,
For only in solitude will the beans speak to you,
And once spoken your destiny shall be revealed."
I softly placed the beans into my leather sac, hanging from my neck
And began my trek,to a place only known to me
A placed Ive envisioned since I was three
I was half way down from the mountain top
Sitting in a small cleft within solid rock, Anticipation,
Fear, consumed my thoughts, and there I waited days
And the beans spoke not.
My mental state decayed, my body frame lean
Wasting away for a bunch of beans.
" A lie, " I screamed, " oh what a fool I be,
Believing my destiny within these beans.'
I'm to weak to descend now, my body so frail
I eat the beans as sustenance so I will not fail
It seems days I sleep, I know not how long
I awake in a valley so far from home
Streets are paved in gold, there's fruit on every tree
People pass me by , They all are bowing to me
So confused from my state, perhaps still I dream
Then a maiden takes my hand,
She says, " Come my King"
I'm lead to a castle, stretching to the stars
And inside there's a throne with and emerald sheen
A throng of thousands shout , "Hail to the King",
They place a crown on my head ,
They dance and sing.
The maiden sits next to me, crowned as my Queen,
And this my destiny, from a bunch of beans

"The New Space Opera"
Space Opera had fallen on hard times in the 70s and 80s. The galaxy spanning empires didn't seem credible anymore -- how could a civilization with such technology not achieve (avoid) Transcendence? Even the Foundation series grew long in the tooth.
Fortunately, a whole new generation of writers have revived the concept: Charles Stross, Vernor Vinge, Ken MacLeod, Peter Watts, Karl Schroeder, etc.
Now, Michael Flynn has joined this group with their fresh ideas and good stories.
The characters are indeed odd ball and the story goes all over the place, hiding the core mystery of both the characters and the story. What fun it is to have a good SF book combined with a mystery story.
If you like any of the above SF writers, you'll probably enjoy this book.
The January Dancer continues with Up Jim River, but is a stand-alone novel, not dependent on any other book in the series.
Highly recommended.
"Young Gordianus Visits the 7 Wonders of the World"
First off, this is NOT the book to introduce you to Steven Saylor's Sub Rosa series starring Gordianus the Finder. For that, I'd suggest Roman Blood or The Arms of Nemesis -- wonderful books.
However, for those us us who are familiar with Gordianus and his adventures during the Roman Revolution, this is a story of his travels through the Greek world as a young man, visiting each of the Seven Wonders and giving colorful details of the local customs as well as the history and description of each of the Wonders.
And of course, there are mysteries to be solved at each site.
Finally, we are introduced to the Mystery of Bethesda, which alone, is worth the price of admission.

Multicultural Horizons: Diversity and the Limits of the Civil Nation
Taylor & Francis, Mar 7, 2008 - Social Science - 142 pages
The intensity of feeling that multiculturalism invariably ignites is considered in this timely analysis of how the 'New Britain' of the twenty-first century is variously re-imagined as multicultural. Introducing the concept of 'multicultural intimacies', Anne-Marie Fortier offers a new form of critical engagement with the cultural politics of multiculturalism, one that attends to ideals of mixing, loving thy neighbour and feelings for the nation.
In the first study of its kind, Fortier considers the anxieties, desires, and issues that form representations of 'multicultural Britain' available in the British public domain. She investigates:
This book presents a unique analysis of multiculturalism that draws on insights from critical race studies, feminist and queer studies, postcolonialism and psychoanalysis.
