Week 4 NFL Game Recaps
Bengals 23, Bills 20
The Bills were one of those squads. They held a 17-3 advantage at halftime and appeared as though they were in complete control. Andy Dalton was just 7-of-20 for 116 yards and two picks. He also missed a wide-open A.J. Green in the end zone in the first quarter. It would have been even worse if he wasn't bailed out by the Tuck Rule on what was initially ruled a strip-six.
In the end though, Dalton outthrew the previously red-hot Ryan Fitzpatrick; Cedric Benson (19-104) outrushed Fred Jackson (17-66, TD); and Green (4-118) outcaught Steve Johnson (4-58) even though the rookie wideout dropped a touchdown. Like I said, it was a weird Sunday.
Lions 34, Cowboys 30
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Romo attacked Houston again with a 44-yard pass to Laurent Robinson that got the Cowboys all the way to the Lions' 6-yard line. On the next play, Romo threw a pass up to Bryant who grabbed the ball and fought off cornerback Eric Wright in the front of the end zone. Following that, Romo led a field goal drive midway through the second quarter and just before halftime for a 20-3 halftime lead. Romo picked apart the Detroit defense, completing 19-of-24 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. Jones ran for 37 yards on 10 carries. Robinson paced Dallas in receiving with four receptions for 85 yards. Bryant had two catches for 37 yards and two scores.
The next possession was, as Yogi Berra would say, "deja vu all over again." Romo threw a slant pass toward Robinson, but it was off the mark. Houston out-fought Robinson for the ball and made the interception. Houston raced down the sideline 56 yards and dodged a few potential tackles for a touchdown.
Romo was aided by a dumb facemask penalty on Ndamukong Suh. The Lions kept Suh blocked for most of the game, but Suh hit Romo hard with a hand to the face of Romo. It turned an incompletion on a third down to a first down around midfield. Romo's next play was a 37-yard pass to Witten. That led to a field goal and a 30-17 lead.
After the Lion defense got Stafford back in the game, he returned the favor in the fourth quarter when he finally got the ball into the end zone. Stafford threw a jump ball in the end zone for Johnson, and Megatron out leaped two defenders to come down with a 23-yard touchdown catch. After a three-and-out, the Lions moved the ball, but sloppy play and penalties forced Detroit to settle for a field goal to make it a three-point game.
Detroit put up 10 more points to narrow it to 30-27. With just over four minutes remaining, Romo was pressured by Suh. He tossed a ball up for Witten that was short of his tight end. Linebacker Stephen Tulloch tipped the ball to himself and secured a huge interception for Detroit. The Lions made Romo pay and took the lead.
Some good passes from Stafford to Johnson and hard runs by Best, moved the ball inside the 5-yard line. Stafford finished the drive with a fade pass to Johnson for a 2-yard touchdown toss. Romo didn't have a comeback in him, and Detroit improved to 4-0 for the first time since 1980. Dallas fell to 2-2.
Saints 23, Jaguars 10
Perhaps Blaine Gabbert was confused about this because he was pretty dreadful. He went 16-of-42 for 196 yards, one touchdown and an interception. The bulk of his yardage came on a wide receiver screen to Mike Thomas (5-73) that went for 47 yards. Outside of that, Gabbert didn't have a completion longer than 18 yards. He was especially bad in the second half; he had just 34 passing yards after the break, as he continuously missed wide-open receivers.
49ers 24, Eagles 23
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
Their defense was potent in the first half, limiting the 49ers to movement on just two drives which both wound up in field goal attempts. Only one was converted by their former kicker David Akers. When he lined up for his first try, a bit of the crowd actually cheered. They roared when he missed from 44 yards out. He was not the worst kicker in the stadium though. More on that later.
Vick's lone interception ended a drive in the first quarter, but the killer turnover came from Ronnie Brown in the second quarter. He was trying to find the end zone on an inside run from the San Francisco 1-yard line. After realizing he would not make it, something froze his brain, prompting a backward pass attempt. He failed according to the refs, and it was ruled a fumble. The turnover basically took three points off the board, assuming they attempted and converted an easy field goal from about the 3.
After driving the field at will, Philadelphia led only 20-3 at halftime, but should have been up by much more. The 49ers found some offense to start the second half only to watch King Dunlap block an Akers field goal attempt. A quick drive for a field goal later made it 23-3, and while the Philadelphia crowd was booing, they were still completely in charge of the game.
Then the defense came unraveled. It is worth noting that Jason Babin earned his check and then some, constantly harassing Alex Smith. He was a force. The rest of the unit had issues in the second half when the 49ers kept driving the length of the field for touchdowns. Kendall Hunter had a sweet reception for 45 yards to key their first touchdown march.
The game was still in their control when Nnamdi Asomugha, signed to be a shutdown corner, let Michael Crabtree beat him for a gain of 32 yards to start a drive that ended in a touchdown to trim the lead to 23-17, which gave the visitors hope.
At this point the offense kept moving down the field only to watch their rookie kicker act like a rookie. Alex Henery missed field goals on consecutive drives sandwiched around forcing a San Francisco punt. Suddenly, the 49ers had the ball with the outcome in doubt and 6:28 left. They got big plays from Hunter and the physically limited Frank Gore, who capped the drive off with a 12-yard touchdown scamper. The icing on the cake was Akers striking the extra point to make it 24-23.
Still, the Dream Team had a full three minutes to answer the bell. Short passes put them just inside San Francisco territory. A pass to Maclin had them at the 32 and pretty much in field goal range, assuming Henery was up to it. One problem - Justin Smith forced a fumble, and a pack of 49ers was there to cover it and end the threat.
Again, it wasn't over until Philly's defense let Gore run for 4, 8, 4, 5 and 5 yards on consecutive plays when it knew what was coming. How do you let an injured running back average over five yards per carry on a drive like that with the game on the line? There is plenty of blame to go around, but clearly this team of "stars" lacks heart and finishing skills.
Redskins 17, Rams 10
The problems, of course, had to do with Sam Bradford's supporting cast. I was shocked when I looked at the box score and saw that Bradford was sacked only seven times. Key word: only. I estimated a dozen sacks. The offensive line barely gave him any time to throw. On the rare occasions when Bradford (20-43, 164 yards, TD) was able to scan the field without a defender in his face, none of his receivers were able to get open. And then there were the drops. There were plenty of them, including Lance Kendricks' botched try in the end zone.
Penalties were an issue too. The Rams had nine of them, and one infraction completely changed the game. Early on, the Rams had a fourth down on Washington's 28. Josh Brown had a makeable field goal attempt coming up. However, beleaguered right tackle Jason Smith committed a personal foul. Set up in a 3rd-and-22, Bradford was strip-sacked, and the Redskins scored two plays later on a short field. Instead of a 7-3 deficit, St. Louis fell behind, 14-0. Game over.
Titans 31, Browns 13
Chris Johnson was able to finish with 101 yards on 23 carries, but aside from a 25-yard scamper in the first quarter that probably should have been a longer gain, he wasn't able to do much until late when the Browns gave up.
Hasselbeck, meanwhile, went 10-of-20 for 220 yards, three touchdowns and a pick despite not having Kenny Britt for the first time this year. The bulk of his yardage came on an 80-yard touchdown to tight end Jared Cook in which Cleveland defensive back Usama Young took a horrible angle and whiffed on a tackle.
McCoy went 40-of-61 for 350 yards, one touchdown and a desperate, late interception. The Browns were behind for most of this contest, so they had no choice but to throw often. Peyton Hillis was able to carry the ball just 10 times for 46 yards.
Chiefs 22, Vikings 17
The second-most exciting part of this contest was a sideline fight between Todd Haley and Matt Cassel. The two yelled at each other in the first half, and it appeared as though Kansas City was about to come apart at the seams. Instead, Cassel did a good job leading the team to victory, going 18-of-29 for 260 yards and a touchdown, though he did have an interception dropped in the red zone.
Bears 34, Panthers 29
Like I said, Newton was awesome. He did make a crucial mistake in the first quarter when he tossed a pick-six into double coverage, but was outstanding otherwise. He went 27-of-46 for 374 yards, one passing touchdown, two rushing touchdowns and that interception.
- Legedu Naanee dropped an easy catch on what would have been a 30-yard completion on the first drive.
- Later in the possession, a long pass to Jeremy Shockey was wiped out by an illegal formation.
- The Panthers were guilty of a delay-of-game penalty on a first-and-goal in the middle of the second quarter.
- A Jeremy Shockey third-quarter touchdown was called back by a bogus offensive pass interference.
- The Bears blocked a 34-yard field goal.
- Carolina allowed Devin Hester to return a kickoff 73 yards, which set up a short field for Chicago and a subsequent Matt Forte touchdown.
- Minutes later, Hester scored on a punt return touchdown.
Texans 17, Steelers 10
As an indication, Houston won the time-of-possesion battle in the first half, 21:32 to 8:28. In fact, the Steelers didn't even get the ball until there was 4:05 remaining in the first quarter.
Pittsburgh was completely helpless against the run; Arian Foster rushed for 155 yards on 30 carries, while Ben Tate, who suffered a groin injury, chipped in with 20 yards on two attempts. That's 5.5 yards per carry. It's amazing that the Steelers' once-vaunted defense that perennially ranked in the top five in grounddefense can't even come close to stopping the rush.
The reason why the Steelers were able to hang around? The Texans absolutely killed themselves with penalties. They had eight in the first half alone, including the dumbest block-in-the-back infraction ever on Danieal Manning on Johnathan Joseph's blocked field goal return.
Falcons 27, Seahawks 7
Matt Ryan went 28-of-42 for 291 yards and a touchdown despite facing heavy pressure all afternoon. He found Julio Jones 11 times for 127 yards. Roddy White (6-78) and Tony Gonzalez (7-56, TD) were also major factors.
The stats are a bit misleading, however, because a 52-yard score of Jackson's came on a desperate heave to Sidney Rice (3-79, TD) when the discombobulated Atlanta defense was offside.
Jackson also barely faced any pressure all afternoon. You have to wonder if the Falcons regret breaking the bank on Ray Edwards. Atlanta's defense looks awful.
Giants 31, Cardinals 27
The officials ruled that Cruz gave himself up. Ken Whisenhunt tried to challenge it, but wasn't allowed to. On the next play, Manning hit Hakeem Nicks for the decisive 29-yard score.
Most of the talking heads on TV were pissed off about this and disagreed with the call, but I didn't - until I heard what Cruz said afterward. I thought it was pretty legitimate at first. If you look at Cruz, he glanced to his left and right, decided that he wasn't going anywhere, and dived down on his own. I figured he knew he wasn't touched, and thus gave himself up.
Afterward, however, Cruz said that he thought he was touched. If that's the case, then Arizona definitely got hosed.
Chargers 26, Dolphins 16
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Backup Matt Moore came into the game and handed the ball off a lot as the Dolphins scored a touchdown with running back Lex Hilliard diving over the top. Moore did not play poorly for Miami, but he didn't make the big plays they needed to have a shot at beating the Chargers.
English also recorded his second sack of the season. It was a coverage sack when Moore stepped up in the pocket next to English, and he took a couple steps to the quarterback away from left tackle Jake Long.
Packers 49, Broncos 23
Orton's passing numbers were a bit of a farce. He threw a 44-yard strike to Brandon Lloyd on a flea flicker that really fooled the Packers. When the Broncos had to move the ball down the field, they often had issues doing so.
Patriots 31, Raiders 19
By Greg Cox - @ActuallyGregCox
Smartly, New England came out and operated a balanced offensive attack knowing Oakland's defense was vulnerable in both areas. Stupidly, their former star Richard Seymour was flagged for a pair of 15-yard penalties to fuel their opening touchdown drive capped off by a 15-yard pass to Wes Welker and a 7-3 lead.
After an exchange of punts, the Raiders opened a drive with a 41-yard run by Darren McFadden. Jason Campbell rumbled for 17 yards and followed it up with a 23 yard pass to Boss. It took the running game three shots from first and goal, but Michael Bush cashed in to put Oakland back in front 10-7. Welker receptions and a few BenJarvus Green-Ellis runs, including a 1-yard plunge for a touchdown, changed that in a hurry to make it 14-10 New England.
The Black Hole was not in panic mode though. Darrius Heyward-Bey picked up 28 yards on a reception, and the return of Jacoby Ford was felt with a trick play run good for 30 yards. The drive ended on an interception I can't even describe. Announcer Solomon Wilcots assumed Campbell was trying to throw the ball away with no Raiders in the vicinity at the New England 6-yard line on second down and goal. I surmised he just delivered it directly to Patrick Chung, who caught it easily even with a hand in a cast. The Patriots drove for a field goal to make it 17-10 at the halftime gun.
Wasted yardage, 75 on that drive, was a theme for the Raiders, who piled up 504 while never realistically having a shot to win down the stretch. If it feels like I am jumping ahead ,it is because the Patriots moved the ball at will in this game when they needed to. Welker's receiving and the hard running of rookie Stevan Ridley were unstoppable. Ridley capped the first drive of the second half with a touchdown run from 33 yards out.
Oakland did answer with a drive for a field goal, but it took 7:34 to get it done. An offense built to wear teams down running the ball is not going to beat an offense run by Tom Brady with long marches for three points. Already up double digits, New England just kept going to Welker for 9, 19, 6 and 28 yards along the way before hitting Deion Branch for the touchdown to make it 31-13.
With the game now in the fourth quarter, it was up to Campbell to make big plays down the field. He really wasn't up to it although he led a drive down to the New England 30 before throwing an interception to Vince Wilfork. Someone on Twitter joked about "Wilfork Island" since the big boy now has a couple picks in the past three games, but it is more like a continent.
There was just some scrapping after that. The Patriots tried to smash in another "in your face" touchdown and failed. The Raiders found Heyward-Bey for 58 yards and Bush for 35 on consecutive passing plays in the closing moments to set up rookie phenom Denarius Moore, a total non-factor most of the day, for a garbage touchdown. The 31-19 final was secured when Campbell failed to find Chaz Schilens on the two-point attempt.
Ravens 34, Jets 17
For the Jets, it was all about the blocking - as in, there was none. Center Nick Mangold's absence was glaring, as backup Colin Baxter continuously botched snaps. Sanchez's protection was awful, as he was under pressure on nearly every single pass attempt. As a result, Sanchez went 11-of-35 for 119 yards, a pick and four fumbles, two of which were returned for touchdowns.
The run blocking was non-existent as well. The Jets tried to run the ball, but Shonn Greene (10-23) and LaDainian Tomlinson (3-minus-3) couldn't do anything.
There was a ton of sharp money Sunday morning on the Ravens. If those botched calls had an impact on the result, I'd suggest that Carey, who also made sure Green Bay covered last week, was perhaps influenced by outside sources. But no, that couldn't possibly happen, could it?
For thoughts on Colts-Buccaneers, check out my updated 2011 NFL Power Rankings, which will be posted Tuesday morning.

March Passing of the Pioneers once again gathers together a diverse group of Western District pioneers. They include a winemaker and a lighthouse keeper. There are links to some well-known Western District properties and families, and a Portland resident that grew up with an English author.
Eliza Mary KEARTON: Died March, 1891 at Creswick. Eliza Kearton was a long-time resident of Portland. She had gone to Creswick for an operation, but died of complications. She was born in London in 1820 and married William Tulloh in 1844 in Tasmania. William's obituary appeared in Passing of the Pioneers in July 2011 and includes a lot of detail about their lives in Portland.
James ROBERTSON: Died March, 1892 at Portland. James Robertson was born in Alvie, Scotland. Once in Portland, he set up the Iron Store business with his older brothers John and William Robertson.
Anne WILCOX: Died March 12, 1894 at Portland. Anne and her husband Thomas Must were well-known residents of Portland. Anne was from Sydney and married Thomas a Sydney mechant in 1842 before they travelled to Portland to set up a branch of Thomas' business, Must and Flower. A few years after his arrival in Portland, he had an architect design a home resulting in "Prospect", built in 1855. The couple lived there for the rest of their lives. In 1908 at St Stephens Church, unveliled a stained glass window in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Must.
Ann PAXFORD: Died March 1900 at Portland. Ann Paxford was the daughter of Jonathan Paxford and Ann Bray and was born around 1818. She married Edward Francis Hughes and they arrived in Victoria in 1853 and Portland in 1854.
Ann had an interesting life while a child in England. She spent time with a young Marion Evans better known as George Elliott, writer. Looking further into the story, which appears correct, proved intriguing. Ann, through her mother, Ann Bray was related to Charles Bray a ribbon manufacturer and a leader of the "intellectual elite".(Oxford Dictornary of National Biography) He described his house, Rosehill, as "a mecca for radicals and intellectuals" (The Continuum Encyclopedia of British Philosophy in Oxford Reference). Marion Evans lived at Rosehill and that is where Ann would have come to know her.

His brother Lawrence had arrived the year before, so John joined him on the Ararat diggings. In 1858, the brothers planted grape vines at Mooney's Gap near Ararat and started the "Emerald Vineyard". In the same year, just down the road, Jean-Pierre Trouette, his wife Ann-Marie and brother-in-law Emile Blampied, were the first to plant vines at Great Western. While Troutte's winery "St. Peters" no longer exists, other wineries from the early days, Best's and Seppelts are still in production there.
In 1925, Lawrence Mooney uprooted the vines at "Emerald Vineyard" and used the land for other purposes.
Elizabeth Robertson MURDOCH: Died March 7, 1916 at Port Fairy. I did a little extra research at Ancestry.com.au on Mrs Whiting because I wanted to find her name, in preference to listing her as Mrs Albert Edwin Whiting. Elizabeth grew up around the Geelong area and married Albert Whiting in 1878. Albert was a son of Edwin Whiting and Hannah Manifold. Hannah's brothers were Thomas, Peter and William Manifold, original owners of the "Purrumbete" run.
At the time of marriage, John was station manager for the Chirnsides property "Boortkoi" . Their wedding was at "Woolongoon" ,Mortlake then owned by Anthony McKenzie.

Mary FITZGERALD: Died March 17, 1916 at Tower Hill. Mary Fitzgerald lived in the Tower Hill district since she was 10 years old, around 1849. She married John Fitzgibbon and she left two sons and eight daughters at the time of her death. Her funeral was attended by a large crowd of mourners.

He became an assistant life boat pilot in 1883 and became the Superintendent of Life boats at Queenscliff in 1892. Around 1905 he moved on to lighthouse keeping, working at Queencliff, Port Fairy, Cape Nelson and Warrnambool.
Mrs Letitia EMERY: Died March 13, 1918 at Port Fairy. Letitia Emery was born in London in 1848 and arrived in Port Fairy four years later.

About the Book
Author Syrie James (The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen) offers readers a breathtaking new perspective on Bram Stoker's classic tale of the king of the vampires with Dracula, My Love. In these "Secret Journals of Mina Harker," the object of Dracula's desire relates for the very first time the shocking story of her scandalous seduction and sexual rebirth. This is not the chaste vampire romance of Twilight—Dracula, My Love celebrates a passionate obsession in all its hot and sensuous glory.
Acclaimed author Syrie James approaches Bram Stoker's classic Dracula with a breathtaking new perspective—as, for the first time, Mina Harker records the shocking story of her scandalous seduction and sexual rebirth.
Who is this magnetic, fascinating man? And how could one woman fall so completely under his spell?
Mina Harker is torn between two men. Struggling to hang on to the deep, pure love she's found within her marriage to her husband, Jonathan, she is inexorably drawn into a secret, passionate affair with a charismatic but dangerous lover. This haunted and haunting creature has awakened feelings and desires within her that she has never before known, which remake her as a woman.
Although everyone she knows fears him and is pledged to destroy him, Mina sees a side to him that the others cannot: a tender, romantic side; a man who's taken full advantage of his gift of immortality to expand his mind and talents; a man who is deeply in love, and who may not be evil after all. Yet to surrender is surely madness, for to be with him could end her life. It may cost Mina all she holds dear, but to make her choice she must learn everything she can about the remarkable origins and sensuous powers of this man, this exquisite monster, this . . . Dracula!
Critical Praise
"With its poetic, 19th-century prose style, this tale about a fierce, forbidden romance will appeal to even the most jaded romance fan." — Library Journal
"This very romantic side to Dracula is powerfully sensuous and masterfully told... Should sit side by side with Bram Stoker's Dracula on your keeper shelf." — singletitles.com
"5 stars. Poignant, passionate, and powerful... Critically acclaimed and bestselling author, Syrie James, once again transports her readers back in time and enchants them ...Truly outstanding!" — Austenesque Reviews
"We enter Mina's psyche...and likewise develop an understanding of Dracula's motivations. This insight explains why a human woman and a 'monster' would literally ache to be with one another. I was exhilarated, enthralled, and completely mesmerized. Vampire book lovers will absolutely love this book." — Bestfantasystories.com
"Syrie James paints a vivid picture of woman in the grip of dark passion. If you think you know the legend, her thoroughly modern Mina will surprise and delight you. It's a dark and sizzling romance for hot summer days and nights." — Dolce Dolce
"Dracula, My Love had me hooked immediately. Filled with suspense and romance, it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was incredibly well written and I couldn't put it down. Syrie James paints an amazing picture of Dracula that left me both infatuated and appalled." — LitFest
"Only Mina Harker, who once fell under the seductive spell of literature's most famous vampire, knows Dracula's true story. James gives readers an intriguing alternate theory as to the events that occurred in Stoker's classic horror tale while at the same time delivering a spooky yet thoroughly romantic love story." — Chicago Tribune
"This remarkable story twists and turns with every page ... The story unfolds with fast-paced action, well-written dialogue, and historical events mixed in with a truly remarkable love story that keeps the reader glued to every page. Another hit (for Syrie James)... right out of the park." — Feathered Quill
"Must read... I love the way this book was written... Both love stories (Mina and Jonathan/Mina and Dracula) have such depth... I became so caught up in the story that I wasn't sure who I wanted Mina to end up with... A really emotional love story. Rating: 9 (Excellent)" — The Season For Romance
"An excitingly dark tale with a romantic twist...a page turner from start to finish. The author has given Dracula something that is missing in earlier novels a heart and soul...Like a vampire draining his latest victim, I sucked down every juicy detail of Dracula, My Love." — Stephanie's Written Word
"What really happened between Mina and Dracula? Syrie James provides her own provocative interpretation in the exciting Dracula, My Love... She keeps the suspense level high, so that even readers familiar with the original story will be furiously turning pages to see what happens next. Excellent novel." — Bitten By Books

Re: Too much power?Too much torque. That's what kills transmissions usually.
You broke a steel spindle. Sogood will be pleased... What model was it? Last edited by Nobody on Mon Mar 12, 2012 7:26 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: Too much power?Well it is a power climb there ...especially if you want to make happy hour on the corner!.
Post a picture with correct exposure .
Re: Too much power?Nate, you're a heavier rider, aren't you?
Also how many Kms on the BB?
Re: Too much power?
Stop looking for excuses and mitigating factors. Everyone knows steel is prone to failure at anytime and often catastrophically without warning Next thing you'l be having us believe Brooks Saddles are comfortable
Re: Too much power?Very pleased you didn't get hurt.
Was it a one-legged pedal the rest of the way home ? Have seen a disabled guy doing this around the flats at Kyeemagh/Wolli Creek, can we assume a fit and able Nate would have pedaled it home ? Cheers WombatK
Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us -Jerry Garcia
Re: Too much power?92kgs...
It was a $300 cell single speed... had about 1000-1500k's i guess? weekly commuter 100k's a week & i treat it with respect. The stock plastic pedals normally take 2 weeks to crack Its a cheap POS bike, but i'm starting to call "not fit for purpose"...
Re: Too much power?Psst! Don't say anything about the stair-jumps you've been doing on your way home from work
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Too much power?
+1! Seriously, glad you (Nate) weren't hurt. Congratulations on joining TLL on the high altar! But your spectacular "show-off" in front of the bus shelter crowd made me a tad suspicious. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Too much power?That's a fatigue crack, except for the shiny bit down the bottom, which was the last bit to let go.
Not good after such a short distance. No odd noies or creaking before the failure? Good save and glad there was nothing behind you!
Re: Too much power?Fact is, a $300 bike was never made for a power rider like Nate. I call it bike abuse!
Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Too much power?Thanks Nate for the reply.
Yes, very funny. And of course I have an excuse. I don't defend all steel. You can make anything substandard for strength and durability, even in steel. Cell seem to have a history of "good value" bikes that fail when used as commuters. Eg: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=17764 viewtopic.php?f=41&t=17766 I suppose if you scape the bottom of the barrel for parts, you are going to get some failures long term. It looks like the crack was propagating under the crank. To me, that is the most dangerous type of fault as you can't see the crack forming. Steerers have the same problem.
Re: Too much power?
Yes, they had a couple of dodgy batches of handlebars and steerers - 'bars were recalled (my bike - and Nate's roadie IIRC - were affected). I notice that they've ditched that manufacturer (Zoom) in favour of FSA on at least some bikes. Nate, you should've converted the Team to SS!
Re: Too much power?I break stuff all the time Nate, the number of timber steps and ladders on building sites and bike chains is a worry. Being 6'4" and 110kg will test anything so I'm guessing that the bike was in a price range not intended for the 92kg, power and use it's getting. My first road bike a Jamis was purchased because they warrant it for up to 140kg and I even managed to crack a weld on that. I buy Record and Dura Ace chains exclusively now.

Re: Too much power?It doesn't matter how cheap the bike is . The fact is that a crank breaking is an unacceptable safety issue. Bike stores need to wake up to this because ultimately they bear the risk.

Booster by Lacoste
Thread: Peppermint/herbal fragrance |
Hello again!! My vacation is ending so I'm looking for a new fragrance to wear everyday at morning, with very clear peppermint notes, very fresh and herbal but that lasts about 5-6 hours at least.. Cartier roadster??
Thank you!
Booster by Lacoste
Oxford & Cambridge has a nice peppermint presence with lavender and oakmoss.
I've trademarked the color bleu
Cartier Pasha Fraicheur Menthe
I have a loreal moisturising gel that smells like peppermint, thats the smell I'm looking for. Something very fresh!!I'm full of gourmands and woody fragrances right now, I want something different
I'm a Roadster fan too. Sample it, I think it may hit the bullseye for you.
Yes, Roadster sounds good to me.
Very nice scent for regular wear that I don't really have anything negative to say about, unlike the Roadster Sport samples that I mistakenly bought last week! Other mint that I like is Live Jazz but I guess that's not what you are looking for.
No no no no no...not Roadster...it is SO not about the mint. It's a very woody frag with a tiny little bit of mint. I don't know why this is always the first one mentioned when it comes to people asking for mint. SOOOOOO not a mint centered frag!! If you want mint, and an herbal mint at that here are my suggestions (I am a HUGE mint fan by the way):
Lush Dirty-Doesn't get any mintier than this one. It's straight up in your face mint with a sort of clay scent added in.
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca-Fresh mint leaves mixed with grass-fantastic realistic mint.
Lacoste Booster-Super cheap and in your face mint mixed with woods-This one is MINT mixed with some woods, instead of WOODS mixed with a little bit of mint, that one would be Roadster.
CDG Play Green-Mint and Basil-all about the mint and herbs.
Now, those are mint frags!!! If you are looking for mint centered...mint as the highlight frags those are the best I have encountered. If you don't want mint as a highlight but a very minimal player then go for Roadster of Live Jazz...those have very little mint. I have discovered that people that aren't big mint people talk about Roadster and Live Jazz as big mint frags, and yes there is a little mint in them, but that does not mean they are "mint" frags. If you want mint...in your face mint...frags all about mint, go for the list I suggested. By the way, Live Jazz is ALLLLLLL about Cilantro with about 5 seconds of mint in the very beginning...I'm just saying.
That's what I thought after seeing some reviews. I don't want a mint that smells like blue trident gum. I want a very fresh and "aquatic" peppermint. The mint in blue trident gum is too harsh. I want something fresh and clean. Probably going to try Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herb fresca and Lacoste Booster
You could try "Atlantic" by Strange Invisible Perfumes. It is a masculine, well made, good ingredients, nice balance, with an interesting note of peppermint in the heart. It leans more to the oriental, rather than the herbal, though.
Frederic Malle's Geranium Pour Monsieur is what your looking for in the mint department
I knew I forgot one. Big +1 on this one. It's really mostly about Geranium, but it has a strong mint note that lasts throughout the entire frag. It's a great one, can't believe I forgot it. It's higher priced than Herba Fresca (about $80 USD for a 125ml bottle) and Lacoste Booster (about 10 per oz), but it is a great frag even with the higher price.
I came here to suggest the same.
If what I believe I've been sampling (I'm doing a blind sampling experiment right now...so I'm not absolutely positive) is Atlantic than I think this is a great recommendation. Nice one!
I'm actually wearing Atlantic (or what I think is Atlantic) now. It's opening is like a cold, bracing, icy wind powered by peppermint. But you don't smell the peppermint so much as feel it. Well, you do, but it's not in your face, or presented as you would expect. The peppermint lends a chill to the citrus/lemon note and this persists for hours. I think it's really what drives the fragrance. The peppermint is definitely on the herbal side, nothing like gum or toothpaste, as it's not the least bit sweet. It's a great choice for a guy, masculine and quality all the way through, and one I've been thinking will make an excellent scent to throw on at 6 in the morning as I head out to work.
It could be exactly what you're looking for.
You can order samples of it at surrendertochance.com

I know what you mean, though I'd argue with you that the 1st hour is ALL about mint. After that, it's more woods and vanilla, and around the 3 hour mark the mint has all but disappeared.
But what I don't understand is why Roadster gets recommended as a "FRESH" fragrance. It's not fresh at all for the majority of its duration, and is mostly a warm, sweet woody-earthy type of frag.
BTW, how'd you forget to mention Menthe Fraiche?
Last edited by Buysblind; 31st December 2012 at 02:51 AM. Reason: wording
Another one for Roadster.
Uhmm, Heeley Menthe Fraiche? I'm surprised no one has mentioned it by now; many consider it 2b the niche version of Lacoste Booster.. Guerlain Mentafollia also has a few sprigs of mint tucked into a bouquet of indifferent flowers. It isn't very interesting IMHO.
On Sillage:
If someone can smell me at more than an arm's length away, I'm probably wearing too much of whatever I applied; if she can distinctly make out the top notes, then perhaps I left the house a bit too soon..
On icebreaker:
I tend to compliment people on their frags to make short talks rather than anything more meaningful.
¿Si o No?
Jacques Fath Green Water
Hey Kybid, I would of just tagged the following link in reference 2 ur master class on mint & call it a day:
I personally prefer LUSH Dirty just cuz it's got all the ancillary products like body wash, etc to prolong the mint EXP.

Piper Nigrum, Piper Nigrum, Piper Nigrum. I like Roadster and Oxford and Cambridge, too, but from what you've said, Piper Nigrum is the one you need. I can't believe nobody has suggested it already.
To be honest...I have to revisit Menthe Fraiche...it was the first frag that I ever heard of that had mint in it...let alone it being all about mint. I never knew that people were using mint in frags...and that got me started on this whole fragrance obsession thing. I tried Menthe Fraiche and wanted to love it, but while I do smell mint throughout the life of the fragrance...which is too short lived...I smell the Yerba Mate even more...which isn't a bad thing, per say, it's more that I wanted more mint less yerba mate. Then, it seemed to turn sour on my skin about an hour after application. I was disappointed...nonetheless, it is a mint centered frag and I shouldn't let my personal experience get in the way. I haven't had a chance to give Menthe Fraiche a sniff in about a year, so I need to give it another try. Thanks for the reminder of this frag.
- - - Updated - - -
Just saw this one after I had posted the above post....true, I should remember that I have gone on my rant in other posts...no need to do it again right?
Roadster ism already a very good choice along these lines, I'd also recommend Horizon by Guy Laroche.
+1 on Herba Fresca, Oxford & Cambridge & Geranium Pour Monsieur.
I'm curious about the new L'Heure Vertueuse III from Mathilde Laurent (Herba Fresca, Roadster) to see how the whole mint, lavender, herbal thing stacks up. Initial reports are very encouraging - this woman knows what she is doing with these sorts of crisp, green notes.

It's not at all popular on here but give Armani Code Sport a try. Peppermint and spearmint with a nice vetiver, ginger and rosemary dry down.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Hugo Boss XY. A clear and aquatic mint along with basil, over a clean musk.

+1 on Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca and Geranium Pour Monsieur.
-1 on Roadster It's definitely not herbal and the mint is very shortlived.
Dior Cologne Royale is an exact match of your description.
...my SOTD: the distinguished Centaure by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier...!
+1 Lush's Dirty
Frederic Malle's Geranium Pour Monsieur
For pure enjoyment of a mint fragrance I continue to prefer Comme des Garcons Peppermint of the Sherbert Series. This masterful fragrance has strong doses of pepper and mint, peppermint and and a warm woody musk base. A beautiful little fragrance from Bertrand Duchaufour created back in his incense and transparent woods experimental days hidden away in the cute little nail polish inspired CDG Sherbert bottles.
Sorry guys but I cant afford expensive niche right now, I'm looking for something under US$80
Dirty is fairly cheap, actually.
But you also have to like black pepper to enjoy this one, peppermint is very prominent for the first hour or so, then you can clearly detect the black pepper and the usual strong herbal quality that is LV's signature, then it becomes a little woody and ambery. I think you can get a 50ml around $80-$90US.
Current top 5:
1. MDCI Chypre Palatin

Personally, I'm a mint fan & have been searching for a mint scent myself for over 2 years with no luck. Although, I tend to prefer a more candy/gum/toothpaste kind of mint. Anyway, I've tried Roadster, Menthe Fraiche, Live Jazz, Booster, Dirty, Demeter Mint Julep, and still haven't found what I'm looking for yet. My favorite out of the bunch is Live Jazz, which I do like, but mint is not the starring note in that one.
Anyway, here's my take on these. Roadster (not enough mint. To me, it's all about vetiver & some weird, sour type herbal note, maybe galbanum?). Live Jazz (great sweet spearmint gum note that I do love, but cilantro and rhubarb are the dominant notes. I like those as well, but am not a fan of ambergris, so the basenote kinda annoys me on this one). Menthe Fraiche (Very in your face, bracing mint, which is nice, but it dries down with a weird off putting sweet sweaty type note I don't like. Probably mate'). Demeter Mint Julep (I got very little mint out of this one. It smelled more like cloves to me, mixed with some sort of sweet amber. Maybe mint juleps contain cloves, I don't know). Lush Dirty (this one is just weird. Yeah, it's minty, but it's mixed with an odd mineral type note and a ton of lavender. It almost smells like mint powder on top of some kind of bandage or diaper to me. The mint is great, but that flinty note mixed with lavender is awful).
LaCoste Booster (I may revisit this one, but to the best of my memory, the eucalyptus note was the dominant player & not mint. It reminded me more of a Hall's cough drop).
Anyway, my next try is going to be Gurlerlain's Mentfolia, which sounds promising. I've tried Herba Fresca, which is ok, but a bit too green for me. I really wish someone would just make a sweet mint/vanilla/powder type fragrance. Come on Demeter, how about a Doublemint gum or spearmint gum scent That's what I'm really looking for (maybe something like Le Male, with the sweet mint amped up about 3 times as much). Anyway, my mint search continues as well.

Try to find a bottle of Creed Selection Verte. The best mint/citrus I've tried and has good longevity.
FM Geranium
Actually, do give Givenchy Play Sport a sample if you see it. It's more of peppermint/very light vanilla, but there are some woods, a green note (spearmint...basil? Not sure), and a hint of ginger. There's a subtle pepper mixed underneath too but it really just adds body to the cool mint accord. It's stays fresh and subtly minty throughout. It's never a huge toothpastey or candy cane like mint, but it does have, as said, a somewhat moderate/subtle mint from top to bottom.

Another for Lush's Dirty

For mint soliflores:
Guerlain AA Mentafollia
Both CDG's
If you want an extremely light, clean Mint/grass fragrance:
Guerlain AA Herba Fresca
If you want a fresh, vibrant Mint, mixed with citrus/herbal/floral base that dries down very green:
Creed Selection Verte
If you want a slight taste of cooling mint, with a huge cool blast of smooth medicinal herbals like Lavender and chamomile, over a base of Oakmoss, this one is truly excellent:
Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge
Lacoste booster is nice, but I don't think it has as much a blast of peppermint like those three listed. it's a smooth, sweet subdued mint, despite the entire frag being mint-centric, it doesn't really come off as pepperminty in particular.
Heeley and Malle are nice, but neither is herbal at all. One is essentially Peppermint oil and citronellol-heavy geranium, and that's it. the Heeley is too fruity and femme I think, despite the topnotes being killer.
I've not tried Boss XY, but now will. the mention of Mint and basil reminds me of another totally unheralded room spray from L'Artisan that is EXCELLENT.
L'Artisan's Parfum De Feuilles. A huge blast of mint, strong anisic basil, and green grass abounds. A tomato leaf note in there as well. It's like a more tranparent Sisley Eau De Campagne mixed with Malle's Geranium's top end. Will be my SOTD tommorrow.

Susie Doyens remained practically mute for most of her childhood due to social pressure and anxiety. See how she literally shattered those fears with the confidence gained through Special Olympics.
Susie shatters more than stereotypes: Watch "Speechless"
Special Olympics is leaving viewers "Speechless" with its powerful new television public service announcement (PSA) that has begun airing throughout the United States. The spot focuses on Special Olympics athlete Susie Doyens. Born with Down syndrome, Doyens remained practically mute for most of her childhood due to social pressure and anxiety. In "Speechless," she literally shatters those fears and attributes her transformation to the confidence gained through Special Olympics.At 34 years old, Doyens is an accomplished Special Olympics athlete who has competed in 10 sports during her 26 years in Special Olympics, medalling at state and national competitions. But golf is her passion. In fact, her family chose to relocate from Illinois to Rotonda West, Florida in 2011 primarily for the community's five golf courses.
For most of her childhood, Doyens communicated almost exclusively with her mother and through written notes. Then in 2001, Doyens shocked everyone when she asked to participate in a Special Olympics Global Messenger training – a program that empowers Special Olympics athletes to share their stories through public speaking and awareness building opportunities.
It was a life-changing decision: "I used to never really talk, ever. I was scared and shy…I was afraid that I would say something wrong, and everyone would laugh at me," said Doyens, "I've learned a whole lot more than just golf. Special Olympics helped me find my voice."Doyens is just one of four million Special Olympics athletes with intellectual disabilities who show the world every day how Special Olympics has the transformative power to reveal the champion in all of us. The organization impacts not just the athletes, but also their families, says Susie's mom, Lynda Doyens: "Special Olympics is our purpose in life. When I look at her now, I'm the one who's speechless."
"People with intellectual disabilities, the largest disability population on earth, are all too often conditioned to believe that their opinions are not important, that others are better suited to speak for them, or worse, they believe they don't have the right to be heard. This misunderstanding often leads to isolation and inactivity, and can even lead to bullying," said Timothy Shriver, Chairman & CEO of Special Olympics.
"We believe this PSA confronts these challenges head-on. Our goal is for viewers to see the spot, be inspired, and choose to support Special Olympics athletes like Susie."
See the story behind Speechless: Watch "Words"
Doyens' tale of transformation was first depicted in a short video called "Words," produced in 2010 by director Martin Rodahl, owner of production company 71 Degrees North. Rodahl who had worked with Special Olympics in Illinois for several years, saw the potential for Doyens' story to inspire even more people and immediately seized the opportunity to direct, produce and edit the "Speechless" PSA: "It's an honor to work with Special Olympics and the individuals that this wonderful organization touches, whether it's an athlete, volunteer or staff member. I have a sister with special needs so the subject is very close to home."According to Barbara DiGuido, director of communications for Special Olympics Illinois, "In a short PSA, Martin was able to capture the essence of Susie's powerful story in a dramatic and compelling way that leaves a lasting impression about the power Special Olympics has to change lives."Tom, Dick & Harry Creative of Chicago, IL, provided support for the concept, spearheaded by creative director Amy Markley and art director Taylor LeCroy. The PSA relied heavily on its postproduction team, including visual effects by Chaos Studios, color by Optimus, sound design and mix by NoiseFloor, and music composition by Audiocastle.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

(BPT) - If you�re a recent college graduate, chances are you left school with more than just a diploma. You�re probably carrying debt, as well. You may already know how debt affects your future borrowing power, but it�s important to also understand how credit impacts other areas of your financial life, as well � such as how easily you�ll be able to rent an apartment when you leave home.
Average student loan debt for the class of 2011 was $26,600, according to the Project on Student Debt at the Institute for College Access & Success. You may also have credit card balances and an automobile loan that all affect your credit record. How you use credit and how much debt you carry will affect many aspects of your life, both financial and personal.
Here�s what recent graduates should know about the impact of credit:
* Your credit score will likely affect your auto insurance rates. If you�ve been insured under your parents� policy, once you graduate and start your career, you�ll need to get your own coverage. Credit scores are one of the factors auto insurance companies look at when deciding what your premium will be. Although a higher score is no guarantee of a lower premium, a low score may drive your premium up � or even prompt an insurer to deny you coverage.
* Landlords and rental companies will almost certainly want to review your credit before agreeing to rent a home to you. A history of on-time payments and smart credit use can make landlords view you as a good potential renter. Spotty payment history, a high debt load and questionable credit decisions may make you look less desirable. A poor credit history may mean a landlord asks for a larger security deposit from you � or may choose not to rent to you at all.
* When you initiate an account with a utility company such as electric or gas providers, the company will ask to review your credit. Blemishes on your credit report may prompt the utility to ask for a higher security deposit.
* Just like landlords and utility companies, cell phone providers may require a credit check � and a higher deposit if you have poor credit or little or no credit history.
* If you�re considering surgery or a health procedure (such as extensive dental work) that�s not covered by your employer-provided health insurance, you may try to strike a payment deal with the doctor or service provider. A good credit report and score may make the provider more inclined to work with you on a payment plan.
* If you fall in love and plan to get married, it�s unlikely bad credit or high debt will prompt a devoted partner to walk away from your relationship. But studies show that money stress can strain a marriage, and fights over money are a leading cause of divorce. While good credit can�t ensure wedded bliss, starting your marriage with good credit can make many aspects of life easier for you and your spouse.
Understanding how credit affects your financial and personal life is important for everyone, especially recent graduates. Fortunately, online resources like Equifax.com �and the Equifax Finance Blog can help you understand credit and how credit reporting and scoring works.

How cool! I got a nice little package in the mail yesterday from Titleist...a SWEET Team Titleist bag tag! I can't wait for spring to show that baby off at the course. Thank you for this awesome gift.
I got my TT Bag tag in the mail. It looks great and is already on the bag waiting for spring to arive and show it off. Love it, and thank you Titleist for continuing to think of your fans!
How do you get one?
Got mine! Titleist is the best!!!
Those bag tags are sweet!
Those really are great looking. That would go perfect with my new Titleist bag and clubs.
Fingers crossed to be one of the proud recipients... thanks Titleist.. love your clubs and golf goodies.
I would really love one of these too!
How did you get one?
I got mine in the mail yesterday. I will always put anything with a titleist logo on my bag. Thanks tt!
Def need one of those!
Mitch B How did you get one?
I just received one. Maybe it was a random give away? All I know is that it made my day! I hope you get one too. I wonder why they would not have the Titleist logo on the tag since branding is so huge and that Titleist logo is amazing.
If at all possible I'd like to be the proud owner of one of these Team Titleist bag tags. They look great!
