I am pleased to inform that my HD3200 is now working fine (on Fedora 10) with catalyst 9.5 (including desktop effects and video playback and no more under-scanning).
Thanks to Fedora and AMD.
Please don't break it again.
I was having the same issue when fixing underscan using CCC. What worked for me was to fix the underscan in CCC for the display and then clicking the override default button right below it. The settings were saved on the next reboot. No more underscan.
I could not, however, change the refresh rate from 24Hz to 60Hz.
Hope this helps.

With Catalyst 9.6., you might get Overscan breakage AGAIN. I couldn't find a way to fix it quickly but I will post here again if I do.
I already tried:
And I will now try the other fix. EDIT: The other way (with aticonfig --set-dispattrib) doesn't work, either. Also, in amdcccle, the option is greyed out. Also, I still can only run amdcccle as root, btw (if I run it as a regular user, all it's bits and segments fault terribly).Code:aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0
Good work AMD!
If anyone has any suggestions, they are deeply appreciated.

Wondering if it might be some kind of permission issue. Maybe try renaming or deleting the amdpcsdb and running aticonf --initial again. Try not to run aticonfig --initial as root.
I was able fix it, but then I was hit by a different bug. The:
did eventualy fix the underscan, but I needed to 1) run it when X.org was NOT running (i.e. from a VC), and, also I needed to 2) delete the amdpcsdb file prior to running it. If I didn't do either one of those, then there was the underscan still present next start of Xorg.Code:aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0
BUT, while figuring that out, I got the other problem. At some point the fonts got all screwy, probably because of deleting the amdpcsdb file. After upgrading to 9.6, initially the fonts were OK (with the underscan), but then, suddenly all the fonts were changed to unreadable size; i.e. 3 pixels high (and at this point I got the underscan fixed). There used to be a very old bug in X.org that caused the same issue (but that was fixed). I got the dimensions of my LCD TV told (or lied, because Xorg does not have settings for viewing distance) in xorg.conf.
After deleting everything in /etc/ati and re-installing the 9.6, I gave up and downgraded to 9.5 (aka. 8.612 - previosly I had 9.4), and all the fonts are puffy again as they should be. If someone is interested, I got the Xorg.0.log file for 9.6 when the fonts didn't work, and one right after the downgrade to 9.5 (where everything is as it should be).
Bridgman: I didn't try your suggestion, as I red it after I downgraded. I did run 'aticonfig --initial', but I did so as root. It added one line to my Xorg.conf (a line for PCIID of the card, but that didn't change anything, since the driver did find the card without one). I thought running aticonfig --initial only checks the current xorg.conf (or one given to it on the command line) and makes changes if needed - and as such it would not make sense to run it as non-root. Am I missing something? Maybe I should try it again at some point.Originally Posted by bridgman
You might be right in that there might have been some permission issue somewhere for a long time, since suddenly I am able to run amdcccle as a regular user, after this upgrade-downgrade hassle.
Hi again. I've been using 9.5 for a while, but decided to return to this issue. I made some discoveries and thought I'll share my findings here
It seems, that the issue with the fonts might actually be a X.org bug. With all other drivers than <=9.5 fglrx, I get the same behaviour; the fonts are way too small (1-2 pixel high). By looking at the Xorg.0.log file, I found out, that the DisplaySize option is read correctly by X.org. But the EDID information overrides this later on! Here's a snippet from my xorg.log:
Note the size reported by EDID: 160 x 90cm! In addition, that it is not true (the right measurements are around 90cm x 50cm for this 40" display, which would actually give something readable, albeit not comfortably sized when wieving from your couch), one would like to "lie" to X.org that the display is actually smaller than it is, since the viewing distance is longer. So the EDID information makes things even worse than they were with the right measurements. The DisplaySize setting I have in xorrg.conf (480X270, that will give something around ~110DPI'sh), is detected correctly above.Code:(II) fglrx(0): ***Display: ConnectedDisplayTypes=0x00000080, disabled=0x00000000 (II) fglrx(0): Connected Display1: DFP on secondary TMDS [tmds2i] (II) fglrx(0): Display1 EDID data --------------------------- (II) fglrx(0): Manufacturer: SNY Model: 5c01 Serial#: 16843009 (II) fglrx(0): Year: 2008 Week: 1 (II) fglrx(0): EDID Version: 1.3 (II) fglrx(0): Digital Display Input (II) fglrx(0): Max Image Size [cm]: horiz.: 160 vert.: 90 (II) fglrx(0): Gamma: 2.20 (II) fglrx(0): No DPMS capabilities specified (II) fglrx(0): Supported color encodings: RGB 4:4:4 YCrCb 4:4:4 (II) fglrx(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode (II) fglrx(0): redX: 0.625 redY: 0.340 greenX: 0.280 greenY: 0.595 (II) fglrx(0): blueX: 0.155 blueY: 0.070 whiteX: 0.283 whiteY: 0.298 (II) fglrx(0): Supported established timings: (II) fglrx(0): 640x480@60Hz (II) fglrx(0): 800x600@60Hz (II) fglrx(0): 1024x768@60Hz (II) fglrx(0): Manufacturer's mask: 0 (II) fglrx(0): Supported standard timings: (II) fglrx(0): #0: hsize: 1280 vsize 1024 refresh: 60 vid: 32897 (II) fglrx(0): Supported detailed timing: (II) fglrx(0): clock: 148.5 MHz Image Size: 1600 x 900 mm (II) fglrx(0): h_active: 1920 h_sync: 2008 h_sync_end 2052 h_blank_end 2200 h_border: 0 (II) fglrx(0): v_active: 1080 v_sync: 1084 v_sync_end 1089 v_blanking: 1125 v_border: 0 (II) fglrx(0): Supported detailed timing: (II) fglrx(0): clock: 74.2 MHz Image Size: 1600 x 900 mm (II) fglrx(0): h_active: 1280 h_sync: 1390 h_sync_end 1430 h_blank_end 1650 h_border: 0 (II) fglrx(0): v_active: 720 v_sync: 725 v_sync_end 730 v_blanking: 750 v_border: 0 (II) fglrx(0): Monitor name: SONY TV XV (II) fglrx(0): Ranges: V min: 48 V max: 62 Hz, H min: 14 H max: 70 kHz, PixClock max 150 MHz (II) fglrx(0): Number of EDID sections to follow: 1 (II) fglrx(0): EDID (in hex): (II) fglrx(0): 00ffffffffffff004dd9015c01010101 (II) fglrx(0): 0112010380a05a780a0dc9a057479827 (II) fglrx(0): 12484c21080081800101010101010101 (II) fglrx(0): 010101010101023a801871382d40582c (II) fglrx(0): 450040846300001e011d007251d01e20 (II) fglrx(0): 6e28550040846300001e000000fc0053 (II) fglrx(0): 4f4e592054562058560a2020000000fd (II) fglrx(0): 00303e0e460f000a20202020202001e4 (II) fglrx(0): End of Display1 EDID data -------------------- (II) fglrx(0): Output CRT1 using monitor section aticonfig-Monitor[0] (II) fglrx(0): Output DFP2 has no monitor section (II) fglrx(0): Output CRT1 disconnected (II) fglrx(0): Output DFP2 connected (II) fglrx(0): Using exact sizes for initial modes (II) fglrx(0): Output DFP2 using initial mode 1920x1080 (**) fglrx(0): Display dimensions: (480, 270) mm (**) fglrx(0): DPI set to (101, 180)
But with every other driver than fglrx 9.5, the EDID information given by my LCD overrides the option! Somewhat later in the Xorg.0.log file:
xdpyinfo also gives the same figures (once I get a usable font size set into a terminal window).Code:(II) fglrx(0): Setting screen physical size to 1600 x 900
I got this behavious with the radeonhd driver also (the only one that should work with the 780G / HD3200; well I didn't try vesa), in addition to the fglrx driver 9.6.. For some reason, DisplaySize option DOES work correctly with fglrx 9.5.
As a workaround, I put "xrandr --dpi 125" into /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup (I'm using KDE4 KDM). It was the only way I could figure out to force the DPI setting. For some reason, the login screen doesn't use the DPI setting, even though it should. But, after I login, the KDE session does use the setting.
Well, I hope this helps, in case someone is hit by the same issue.
Hi once again!
After upgrading to 9.7 and xorg-server 1.6.2-r1 (among some other X.org, DRM and Mesa libraries), the DisplaySize option started to working again. Now, at the physical size setting part in Xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log says:
I also cleaned up (made a fresh one) xorg.config. I'm not sure what actually was the culprit, but I'm happy that it works now .Code:(WW) fglrx(0): Probed monitor is 1600x900 mm, using Displaysize 448x252 mm
And sorry for hijacking this old(ish) thread

This discussion may contain spoilers!
I "guessed" the whole thing
So 2 guys are coming down the road. And they don't exactly look threatening.. They just want some gas and they're offering food in exchange.
Considering the only thing the group was missing - or at least the #1 ergency- was food, sure let's make a deal. BUT
why should anyone from our group leave to go to the farm? You go back to your farm, bring some food and we give you the gas. We don't know these people, maybe there is no farm at all or they have no food. Right there it was a deal breaker and bad news for me. But all the rest of the group was like let's get going.
And then you go towards the farm and you see the bandits. For a minute there I thought I figured it all wrong and that the 2 guys were bandits as well.
But anyway we get at the farm. They don't let you see the barn before you check the fence (fine), but they also don't let you in the house;
Now why i said "guess" instead of guess. It's a scenario that I have seen before in media, for example the movie the road
Now that I laid these out I'm thinking that they could have avoid making you so suspicious. I mean why not let you in the house when you arrive? Mark is not hurt, no other victim is in there... why not..? It didn't had to be the whole house either, just 1 room. With these in place, the locked door is just the confirmation. You don't even have to open it, you're sure these people are bad news and you know exactly the kind..

Nova returns from Minors to make start for Yankees
Archer aims to go deeper in game as Rays try to earn split of series
Ivan Nova will start for the Yankees on Sunday. After that, there's no definitive plan outlining the right-hander's future.
"We don't really have [a plan]," manager Joe Girardi said. "We'll see what happens."
Nova has spent time on the disabled list this season, and he hasn't pitched for the Yankees since May 29. He made four starts in April and two relief appearances in late May. He has posted a 2-1 record and a 5.16 ERA.
Nova will be opposed in the series finale by Tampa Bay hurler Chris Archer, who has hopes of a long-term stay in the Rays' rotation. To do that, he'll need to make some adjustments that can keep him in games longer. Archer has lasted five innings in only one of his four starts.
"At times, I'm pounding the zone, strike one, strike two. And then the other times, I'm ball one, ball two," Archer said. "We just reviewed some video, just some minor tweaks. Things that [pitching coach Jim] Hickey's really good at seeing and doing with everybody. We've just been implementing them throughout the week. And it's been going well."
On June 12, Archer needed 103 pitches to log four innings in a 2-1 loss to Boston. Six days later, he tossed 109 pitches in 4 2/3 frames of a 5-1 loss to the Red Sox. He said he planned to make minor mechanical adjustments that would keep his pitches closer to the strike zone.
"I'm not trying to nibble," Archer said. "I'm not trying to pitch around people. I feel confident in my stuff to where I don't have to do that."
Rays: Maddon encouraged by Price's outing
Southpaw David Price allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks in 2 1/3 innings in his first rehab start Friday night for Class A Charlotte. Rays manager Joe Maddon was pleased with the results.
"He did well, he did real well," Maddon said. "The velocity was really good, like up to 96 [mph] I heard. He didn't pitch at that, but he arrived at that. Then the curve and the cutter and the changeup were all good. He felt very good afterwards. It was a positive experience."
Yankees: Almonte impressing his skipper
Zoilo Almonte has turned heads with his play this weekend. The longtime Minor Leaguer went 3-for-4 with a home run in Friday night's win over the Rays. He notched a two-run single and an RBI walk in Saturday's triumph.
"Some guys just take a little bit longer than others," Girardi said. "Sometimes it can be a little bit more difficult for a switch-hitter, because you talk about getting so many at-bats for a player, but you've got to do it for both [sides] in a sense. I've been around guys that have been in the big leagues at 21, 22 and I've been around guys that haven't gotten there until they're 27, 28. So it's just kind of a timing thing."
Worth noting
• Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has converted all but one of his 27 save opportunities.
• Rays rookie Wil Myers socked his first career homer Saturday, a grand slam.

Kidblog and Collaborize Classroom are two tools that work for me in language arts and book clubs. What works for you?
It was word processing that pulled me into technology. I recall many English teachers telling me that word processing was going to ruin writing.
And so it goes....
Your new post is loading...
Your new post is loading...
Last Saturday I reviewed Analyze My Writing. That post proved to be one of the most popular posts of the week. It also prompted a bunch of questions from readers looking for other tools like it. Here are some more good tools that students can use to analyze their own writing.
Neither freezing weather nor a record number of snow days in some places could deter nearly 4,500 of you from entering this winter's Second Annual Student Editorial Contest. And, just like last year, we were bowled over by the breadth of topics you chose and the passion with which you wrote about them.
So how can math teachers who haven't worked their own writing muscles lately smoothly and authentically incorporate writing into their classrooms? I asked MfA master teacher and author Gary Rubinstein that very question. He came up with four tips that, frankly, can be used by any writing-tentative teacher:
description by ASCD Express (click on headline or image above, scroll to bottom of page for video) "Eleanor Dougherty, author of the ASCD book Assignments Matter (2012), explains how students become better writers when given opportunities to write frequently, investigate structure, write from a prompt, deconstruct models of good writing, and read to build academic vocabulary and learn narrative technique."
I needed to find a way to reach every writer in the room. It wasn't enough to simply deliver instruction like a bag of take-out dropped at their feet. I needed to make them part of the production from the ground up. To do this, I enlisted the help of a colleague who was willing to take on a project neither of us had tried before. We would combine our classrooms to create a "publishing house" that would publish magazines for a real audience. What better way to motivate our students than to actually create a product for real consumers
"Engaging, multimedia-rich digital stories can capture the attention of students and increase their interest in exploring new ideas. Combining storytelling with powerful digital creates a truly authentic learning experience that helps students develop a wide range of intellectual skills." Very nice selection of tools. -JL

Näitä ohjelmia ja appseja on jo ihan hirveästi, mutta tässä on jokaisesta kerrottuu vähän pääkohtia.
I was really impressed with how quickly everyone picked up how to make a stop motion video and the creativity involved. All of the students who experimented with stop motion animation were able to create a finished product, and most did it in 30 minutes or less. This is a great, engaging, creative activity for our Makerspace!

These ten sites provide a wealth of usable, simple ideas that will revitalize your teaching and energize your students. Great stuff--and its not only for English teachers. Aloha, Russ.

There are too many outstanding easy-to-use and informative resources for formative assessment that it's nearly criminal that more teachers don't use them.

This is a great way to get information on student learning in a way that doesn't take a lot of time for the teacher individually. It would also help the teacher to make an individualized plan to help each student from where they are at. |
"A host of new apps are available to jump-start creative thinking and spark new ideas." Via Jim Lerman
Charles Fischer's curator insight,
April 26, 10:31 AM
Some nice apps that can definitely help with creative thinking! In seminars, apps like these could be used in place of a turn-and-talk or other technique to get conversation going again.
Last month we announced Education on Air — our free online conference taking place May 8-9, 2015 — and asked what you wanted to hear about. Today we released the schedule of sessions, based largely on what we heard from you. We'll emphasize innovation — 44% of you voted for this — as well as how to empower students and use Google tools effectively. It was clear from our second poll that you also want practical examples, so our speakers will go beyond theory and share their specific advice for enacting change.
Last month I attended a talk put on by the Book Promotion Forum on transmedia storytelling. As Reid Mihalk, a "sex and relationship role model," put it, "Leaving a comment on a blog isn't enough anymore." Here are 15 ways you can use transmedia storytelling to expand your story's audience, followed by a list of 25 different media you can use to tell stories.
Argument is inescapable. It's at the heart of all career-based writing. I'm talking about the professional debate, the cover letter pitch, the interview, the grant application, the executive summary. Because argument appears in so many situations in life beyond school, students need to experience it not just as a separate skill in writing class but as a skill that's crucial to all content areas.
How do we help students connect writing to their lives outside of school? How do we motivate students to write and share their thoughts? How do we bolster their perception of writing while helping them continue to strengthen their skills so that they can communicate their ideas and visions to make the world a better place? Graham and Perin (2007) believe that students' motivation, affect, and effort in writing will increase when students engage in assignments with an authentic or meaningful purpose. In my middle school classroom, a slight shift in how I plan activities within a unit helps me create purposeful assignments that students complete enthusiastically. Although the skills and concepts are the same, the assignment expands the audience for students' work. My students are more motivated and more readily connect to the true purpose of writing—to communicate—when they have a larger audience than just their teacher. Here are four ways I've reframed activities to help students write for a purpose."
There's an ongoing argument in the technology world about whether tablets and smartphones are more focused on consumption than creativity. As time has gone on, though, the number of apps helping us do more than passively read, watch and listen has grown. Many also fall into a longer heritage of technology that democratises activities like film-making, photography and music-making. Video and photography apps now contain editing features based on those used in professional software, but made accessible enough for anyone to use in a couple of taps, and music-making apps are reducing the barrier to making listenable sounds. In all cases, this isn't about you suddenly becoming a professional just because an app is holding your hand – instead, it's about opening up the experience of artistic creation to a wider audience.
I contend that play is also the work of many writers. Much has been written about the traits or craft of writing, best instructional practices, and specific methodologies that serve so many important purposes. Paying serious attention to serious play taught me something more, though: these traditional approaches, while powerful in their own right, often alienate those who need to move, make, and game in order to write well. We're losing these writers in schools and in our communities. They have important things to say and critical contributions to make.
"Create your own learning theme in minutes by using open content." This video shows how. -JL
by Pam Mueller & Daniel Oppenheimer Abstract "Taking notes on laptops rather than in longhand is increasingly common. Many researchers have suggested that laptop note taking is less effective than longhand note taking for learning. Prior studies have primarily focused on students' capacity for multitasking and distraction when using laptops. The present research suggests that even when laptops are used solely to take notes, they may still be impairing learning because their use results in shallower processing. In three studies, we found that students who took notes on laptops performed worse on conceptual questions than students who took notes longhand. We show that whereas taking more notes can be beneficial, laptop note takers' tendency to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words is detrimental to learning."

Writing engages the brain differently and avoids distractions. This must be disappointing for those who promote eliminating cursive from School. @ivon_ehd1
"Our second podcast discusses strategies in student created screencasts using Explain Everything. We discuss Math tutorials, procedural tech tutorials, and possible applications in a project based planning framework. For extension, we interview Reshan Richards, creator of Explain Everything." Jim Lerman's insight: Great page demonstrating the use of podcasts as the organizing center of language arts projects. Note particularly the video titled "Part III Synchronous and Asynchronous Collaboration. In it you will see the podcast recording "studios" the students constructed out of cardboard boxes and packaging material. Terrific idea! Lots of great ideas and links are contained in this post.
I believe that every writer needs a dedicated space for creative work, especially teachers who write. Here's what I know: teachers put in more time for less pay than many professionals from other fields. Many also spend all day giving themselves to the children they teach only to come home and give themselves to the children they are raising. After they tuck everyone into bed, they often crack open their lesson plans or dive into student work that requires their immediate feedback. Via John Evans

6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.well done J Tim! I'm almost there... 21km before work this morning takes me to about 5976km for the year.
Hoping I get another ride in before work tomorrow morning and I'll knock off 6k. "It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Well done tim and Oldnewby... Cool to see so many targets getting knocked off.
Looks like the fix worked for the tracker bar. The red triangle has resumed it's relentless march!
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener. Yahoo I have a yellow bar.
Achieved target on a 71 km ride this morning. Couldn't wait until tomorrow so manually refreshed the bar .... impatient I know Rather pleased after failing to meet target in 2010 and 2011. Congratulations to the others who have achieved or are nearing target. Cheers Graeme Instagram: https://instagram.com/grt046/

Better get on that bike in the morning Oldnewby, I'm right behind you 5949km Nice work J-Tim! Looking for a 50km ride in Melb on Sat AM, anyone have any suggestions? i was thinking Kinglake before it gets too warm but never been up there. Staying on Heidelberg side of town. LoveMyBike-go for it Julie, you are getting pretty close! Merida 903 from the LBS; Diesel engine
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Well done guys, I should be done early next week if the plan holds together and I don't break into a million crying pieces on Jamberoo Mountain during the saturday sufferfest.
@lovemybike you're nearly there - only have to ride for an hour and a bit per day. Chuck in some longer weekend jaunts and it's done before the Turkey gets it.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Congrats on those who have got their goal!
Now to start thinking about the new year.... Lisa
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.well done grt046, another 6k target bites the dust!
C&w, I did get on the bike this morning, 28km gives me 6004.. woohoo! I've seen on bikejournal you and I have been pretty close the last few weeks. I can recommend Kinglake as a great ride, but not sure if you'd get the best of it in 50km. The couple of times I've done it, I've started at Whittlesea, and the most practical route/loop seems about 70km. I'm sure there's places you can start & finish that will get around 50km - I just haven't done it. Either way, your 6k will be done soon enough by the sounds of it! Well done again everyone, keep knocking off those targets! "It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Natural progression to the 10k club surely. A couple of cameo appearances in the 6k and the world is a happy place
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
I'm still thinking about this year Lisa! Only 560 to go... Not sure about a natural progression to the 10k club Brett - my unnatural progression to 6k means I'm going to cancel Christmas this year and ride around the block instead (AT) C&W and GW - did my hour and a bit this morning - getting closer
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Good one Julie!
Had an email from strava this morning telling me about the rapha festive 500 challenge, - 500km between the 24 and 31 december. You get a patch if you complete it too. How's that for motivation? I love patches.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Got out for 61kms on the fixie this morning. After 10 days of working from 11pm to 5am it was good to be back on the bike.
Suprised myself with a 26kmh avg. It was flat as a tack though. And I copied norbs' Gopro mounting trick.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.That's one hell of a ride on the fixie Lewy, well done. Good to catch up for coffee too.

You can do it Julie...you got there in the dying days of 2011! I rode on Christmas Day last year.... a 96k ride back home from the coast in the middle of the day...it's actually a great day to ride, the roads are so quite! We're planning on doing a early morning Turbo Tuesday this year...a quick 40 spin around the river! Our kids are all adults now and will sleep in...yay! Lisa
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.The video from today. I left one angle out
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Some good riding going on and good to see so many people reaching their goal for the year. Julie, I'm sure you can get there, it's less than 25km per day on average for the rest of the month. Get in some 50+ rides and you can even earn some days off.
Norbs, my rear hub might give your noisiest bike claim a bit of a challenge. It sounds like a learner driver trying to change gears on a truck with the way it clunks sometimes. Haven't had much of a change to continue my ride report this week. When I last left it we where sitting in the heat of the day enjoying some cold water and other iced beverages at a nice little cafe in Berrima. Heading back out of Berrima I'd heard we'd encounter our last major challenge in terms of climbs for the day, Bendooley Hill As we headed out of Berrima and we started climbing I asked Mark if this was it? "No, this is just the teaser" was his reply. After the climb we where on was a bit of a descent and then the sign indicating Bendooley Hill. To be honest I wasn't finding it much different to he hill we'd just gone over and checking strava both where a bit over a kilometre at over 5%. Despite this the group started splitting up again on Bendooley Hill with Mark getting away off the front again. When a KOM 500m mark came up on the road I decided it was time to see what the legs had left in them and decided to see how much I could catch back up before the top. So while Mark kept rolling along at his cruising speed I was pushing hard to real him back in. It seamed like such a long 500m as the legs protested but the gap was closing. I just managed to pull him in before the top and then after rolling over the crest it was time for the reward of the climb. The downhill run followed by a nice flattish section felt great as I was able to hold some decent speed for a while. It was my first and only change to let Mark have a bit of a rest in my draft for a while as I pushed to keep the speed for as long as I could. It was a set of lights coming into Mittagong that would end my run and while we waited Paul caught up with us as well so the three of us road through Mittagong and headed towards Bowral. The only thing was, whoever told us Bendooley Hill was the last of the challenging climbs obviously forgot the one between Mittagong and Bowral. On average not quite as steep but around twice as long it was a test for tired legs. Mark was off in front again, happily cruising away at what seamed like double the speed I was struggling up at while Paul struggled on battling some cramping on the way up. After the climb it was a downhill run into Bowral and a final stop to top up fluids with Bowral being the last place to do so for a bit over 40km. So the group once again rejoined at a servo in Bowral before heading off on the final leg as a group again. With legs getting more tired and a few riders now already onto most likely their toughest ride to date the smaller undulations where already starting to split the group. Turning onto the Tourist Rd we would do our final regroup before starting another climb. I rode the climb with Ben and Grant while the others would all pick up the pace and disappear out in front. After the climb the Tourist Rd starts heading mostly downhill for a while and enters nice bushland settings. It was quite a pleasant cruise through there and along the way we would pick up Harvey. There was one final climb out at the end of the Tourist Rd and then it was back into familiar territory as we reached Macquarie Pass. Now it was Grant's turn to start pulling away as the gaps between riders started opening up on the way down. Not far down though and we encountered the truck stuck on the hairpin turn, thankfully we could walk our bikes under the edge of the trailer to enjoy a traffic free run to the bottom. At the bottom of the pass is an undulating descent back to Albion Park and after a few undulations I managed to catch back up to Grant and join him for the run into Albion Park.Then as I passed home to continue onto Dapto I was back on the most familiar part of the ride. It's like my legs have a memory for how to ride this section which is part of my morning commute and all the tiredness from the day fades away as they set their regular rhythm and set me up for the final run back to Dapto. Back at Dapto and it's time to give the Brevet Card it's final stamp and hand it back to Grant before saying goodbye to the others and start cruising back to home just in time to beat the setting sun. So ended a tough but thoroughly enjoyable day on the bike. My first Brevet for the Audax year was now completed and along with it my first goal for December. Now my next target is the 6000m of climbing to complete my primary goal of 6000+ every month for the year. As I type there's 1876m to go.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.
Thanks Dave. Hope the head holder upper is better.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Low life car thieves
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.Nice report Shane, I was dying to know how it finished .
And that looks like someones pride and joy Mugglechops - I don't get why they have to wreck other peoples stuff. Had a great ride this morning, headed up Jamberoo Mountain Road for the first time and found it quite enjoyable. Cool early conditions made for easier climbing though the first few kms are quite something. Saw a heap of Lyre Birds and various Parrots along the way. I made the mistake of stopping at Barren Grounds to wait for my ride partner who was coming along behind me, not knowing that the climb carries on for a bit further. Oh well, I'll have a huge improvement in time next time I do it. Stopped for a Pie in Robbo then scooted down the pass and headed back home via Marshall Mt for a neat 100km and just shy of 1400m climbing.
Re: 6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.I was just about to ask how you went Grant - sounds like a good ride .
102 kms for me this morning - getting closer! It was also my December 100km ride so I was glad to have finished that. My ride report is short: it was hot but I very happy! Have a good ride everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tasty gluten-free pasta frittata. |
Nada. We're trying- one more time- shooting for a Tuesday hook-up. But our hopes are tempered by frustration, to be honest. We are no longer giddy with Windstream anticipation. In fact, we no longer assume we will ever be surfing cyberspace from our casita again. We are looking at each other and sighing. Twiddling our collective thumbs. Craving California sushi. We are driving south to Santa Fe to check e-mail at The Travel Bug bookstore. In fact, I am writing to you this morning sitting among Texan tourists pawing fold-out maps and discussing day trips to the Anasazi ruins to a soundtrack of Native American Flute Music.
To be totally blunt, in the thick of all this quintessential New Mexican Mañana, I have lost my cooking mojo. I am crunching through a bag of chips and jarred salsa and calling it supper. I am looking at my martini and considering its three olives a proper food group. And therefore, dinner.
But if I did cook? I'd whip up this perfectly simple frittata recipe from the archives and call it brunch.
Martinis and Carlos Nacai are optional.

text: Excellent story - I learned something from it, e.g. hoarding = greed. Early in the New Year of 2013 is as good a time as any to review the "seven deadlies." Though not all of us are at all likely to do any of these sins exactly the same way, IMHO we need to periodically perform a self-appraisal to see where we may be missing the mark and it sure couldn't hurt to try to learn from the mistakes of others especially since we won't live long enough to make them all ourselves.

How is this an achievement? He made HISTORY?! So when he lists all the life changing things he did in his lifetime, he'll include "I was the first black person to buy this Bentley"...
And then not up to 50 yrs down the line we'll look back and remember him for what? Please, he didn't make HISTORY, he bought himself a nice car. Black people do this ALL THE TIME!
Congrats to him on his new ride though. :) - January 15, 2013 at 7:20 PM

What has he done to his community and nation? What effect does the bently has on d ordinary citizen of his community who cannot afford to send his children to school or eat a 3 square meal? By 2016/17 the bently wld be out of vogue and he'll start gathering/stealing money to buy the latest. VANITY.
- January 15, 2013 at 8:33 PM
I hate it when people condemn other people and how they spend their monies. I don't know this guy's source of wealth as that is not the topic of discussion but he has. The right to spend his money how he likes.
How are you sure he hasn't given 100000 children free health care for 10yrs? How are you sure he doesn't give out.
You people taking trash, why not give your salary monthly to the motherless babies? It is what you do with little things that will determine what you will do with bigger things.
- January 15, 2013 at 8:39 PM

.... Only if Linda will post my comment!! Congrats Olugbo of Ugbo but I dare say d Ugbo community is DEAD! No jokes!! I'm yoruba serving in Ondo state.I unfortunately(yeah I meant dat) participated in d october governorship election and also Unfortunately I was posted to Ugbo5(under Ilaje LG).it's poverty personified in d midst of plenty.d ONLY good structure dere is his palace #no jokes. Common dis community is oil producing and rich. The people re wallowing in abject poverty and violence(dey almost killed a corp member dere dat day). So saying dat he made HISTORY is despicable,malicious and wicked of anyone. Smh 4 our leaders... If traditional leaders too take delight in looting 4rm d people,den I keep wondering wat d future holds!

I agree with anon 9:19 the Bentley in question here is not a 2014 model. I'm sure Linda must googled any Bentley she came across. - January 16, 2013 at 4:01 PM

You this gistville is it by force to blog ni??! This is the problem with Nigerian mentality!! One person delves into something out of passion and makes it in that line of bizness,next thing every nigerian tom,dick and harry delves into that line of bizness because they like the rewards that come with it!
Must everybody blog??? And the most annoying thing is there's nothing new they blog o,they just give annoying, irrelevant,recycled news!
Not everybody must blog o,and If you must blog,be creative,unique and different! Linda has created a niche for herself, you create yours.do not be a copy copy! Everybody wants to be a blogger now,giving the same news linda brings.mscheeew.
Linda post o,and sorry for the long epistle.I'm just pissed off by all these bloggers that keep spamming on every post! I must to blog by force.

It is indisputable that Oba (Dr)Obateru Akinruntan is the new face of Monarchy in Nigeria. One of Nigeria's most established business moguls, one of Nigeria's most enduring billionaires and the doyen of Oil and Gas in Nigeria. I know him...a man of unquestionable integrity. Obat Oil was absolved of every fuel subsidy issue. Countless lives have been transformed by his industry and amazing philantrophy. This is not to talk of scholarships. Olugbo works hard...let him leave large. Kade pe lori.

You shameless whores, asking to be introduced to his married sons. Are u guys for real? Its obvious madness and poverty reigns supreme in your bloodline. If not I see no reason why any sane lady would ask to be a married man's mistress so you can get paid.
All you useless nicompoop running this hard working man and his family down will know no peace.
And to you foolish whore that mentioned you were at their new year party and you would gladly introduce the married sons to all, may your days be bleak as rainy day.
Eyi oloshi, were alasho. Leave married men alone and find yourself hard working men. Kabiyesi ooo, Ki adepe lori, ki bata pelese. - January 17, 2013 at 12:40 PM
1st black man or 1st African??? I cant imagine some black american hasnt got one already.

I love this one. Great style and scale
Re: Transform
awesome idea but I'd change the logo

this makes me sad. :C reminds me of bull fighting
Very Shadow of the Colossus. Love it.
Re: Profile Picture
now THAT'S creative! :D
Re: Mind's Eye
Oh My Gookie!! This is so cute! What a great idea.
Re: Not in this City
LOL I want this shirt but that color would look bad at me. :C
Re: Danger Lurking
it's too hard to see
Re: A little suspicious
im actually getting a bit tired of these "one of these things is not like the others" shirts not to mention they are always some dead eyed cutesy animal. that being said this one isn't even pulled off well. it looks slapped together with not much thought
Re: Midnight Snack
That's an octopus!? I thought it was a human head with tentacles. :C um... isn't this a photo?
Re: ah-ah-ah (green)
lose the shadow
Re: Fos Naratu!
I loved the preview because it was elegant but the funny shadow kinda throws it off. I feel the two should not be together.
Re: Scribble Monsters
Thanks everyone!
Re: One-eyed, One-horn, Flying Purple People Eater
love his expression
I haven't bought a derby shirt in months. But if this wins it will be an instant buy for me.

hahaha you'll never know what kind of design that community really wants. ;D
Re: That Unforgettable Night
I love the design, the palette, everything!
Re: Finally ,The Monster Showed Up!
Seriously, this is a beautiful illustration. More people should vote for this design.

thanks guys ... well i wish i could have known . im just newbie =( thanks anyway atleast I've tried and enjoy your wonderful comments
Re: What The?
thanks =)
tjost wrote:Umm I like the design dude but this is not a shirt color that WOOT offers and it's probably gonna get rejected. It's WWAAAAYYYY off from the royal blue on hand.
I must say that the color of the tee is royal blue, which offer woot. Moreover, if you look at timelapse, you will see that when I put the background, go to woot page and copy the color code, then I stick it in illustrator. So here if the design is rejected, it should not be for that reason. If you need a screenshot of That Moment let me know: D
Thanks Spiritgreen and orabbit for the information you put in here. I know a little about pre-press processes but not about the technicalities of screen printing. I have been looking for a really good explanation of how the halftone process works for quite a while and these posts cover everything well. I think this is helpful both for those producing shirts and those buying them. I know Woot probably doesn't have the time to fully explain, but it's been really helpful learning more about the challenges involved in printing certain designs and why something might not print exactly as it appears on screen. Good on you lyonscc for asking the hard questions and I hope you don't get discouraged and will keep on designing.
This is hilarious and I hope it wins. Please don't put it on a yellow tee though. It would look just as good on a black, grey, white, or almost any other color tee. Awesome job and good luck!
Re: Rising From the Steam
Thank you all for the critiques and comments. It's a warm fuzzy feeling when a design that I worked hard on is well liked and well voted on.
I can't tell what this is supposed to be.... :/
I am absolutely in LOVE with this shirt!
Re: Daydream
Thanks a ton for all the kind words everyone!
Re: No Evil
This is very adorable! But since the image is black and white, I wish it was on a color shirt...
Mavyn wrote:You're welcome. Have you reviewed the FAQ and the various helpful posts in the forum? You can also post your ideas in the pre-Derby thread, and people will comment or answer questions.
I have but I must be rushing through and not being focused enough. I'll try again on the next one if I can formulate a workable idea.

I'm guessing it's a vampire lady. Ear rings, phone, low cut dress.
