G'Day! New member with a question.G'Day all,
First post in here and all, so please bare with me! I'm in need of a semi decent MTB to get me from Eastlands to Mornington 5 days a week (about a 10-15 minute ride ATM). I live in Warrane and work up Mornington Rd, so if I can do it regularly, I want to leave the car at home and ride to work. I don't give a stuff about the enviroment, I just want to get a bit fitter for cricket, and my general wellbeing. Now for my dilemma, I have a budget of $300 to $400 to get a MTB style bike for road / footpath use. It won't really see much grass or gravel, but I have no interest in a full on road bike. I'm 5'9"-10" and 110kg (used to be a front rower when I played Rugby Union), so I'm just a bit more comfortable on a MTB style bike. Where in town would be my best bet to get something that'll suit my needs. I don't mind 2nd hand, if anybody on here is thinking of upgrading, either. Thanks in advance, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.
By footpath you mean shared bikepath?? Because it's illegal to ride on a footpath..... I would suggest to buy a flatbar roadbike, you don't need a MTB as they are designed for off-road, and are to heavy. A hybrid could also be a good iption... The dutch have one word to describe the aussie MHL, this word is ;
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Ummmm......yes!! Of course I knew it was illegal to ride on the footpath! Ummm.....lets just say the Cambridge Rd at 8:30am can be a tad intimidating!! At 5:30pm it's not quite so bad!
I'll do some searching, but what is a flatbar road bike? Last time I brought a bike was in 1990 when I got an Apollo 24" youth MTB. I'm a bit behind the times!
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.I think it is permissable to ride on a footpath in Tasmania.
Watch the Hobart Mercury each Monday for a feature called "Flea market". This is a listing of items for sale with a maximum price of $100. You will often find items that are worth more than that, but will be sold for $100 because the sellers cant be bothered advertising somewhere else, where they would have to pay a fee. You could also try a notice "Wanted to Buy" on the board at your local shopping centre.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.I was thinking of Ride (in Clarence St), but also looking at the top of the range bikes at K-Mart and Big W (don't flame me for the big stores!! Eastlands is handy for some things!!).
As far as 2nd hand goes, a bike from somebody on here would be a decent option, as it would be coming from somebody who knows and looks after their bike. Cheers, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.This is a flat bar road bike:
If I were you, I'd raise the budget by a few hundred dollars and look at spending ~$700 on a flat bar roadie. You'll enjoy riding that a LOT more than a cheap MTB (mountain bike). If you enjoy it, you'll want to keep riding, which is great for your aim to keep fit. Stay well away from the K-mart and Big W bikes. They are death traps, not to mention more expensive in the long run (you'll end up buying a real bike if you somehow find yourself enjoying the ride anyway ...). And back to that other point, you're not likely to enjoy the experience of riding a department store bike ... Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.

Re: G'Day! New member with a question.I can clearly see (and understand) what you are saying about spending the cash on a slightly better bike, but I fear my budget might not stretch much above $600 at the best. I know I'm saving money by not driving, but in reality, I'll only be using it to and from work, and riding with the kids down on the Clarence cycle path.
I want to spend the cash on a really good bike, but I might be looking around for something 2nd hand. I also need to justify my spending with my wife! But a flat bar bike is what I need to be looking for. 100% agreed on that. However, what benefit is it to retrofit flat bar style road tyres to a MTB? Cheers, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.
To the type of MTB within your budget? No benefit what-so-ever. Think outside the double triangle.

Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Thank you for your advice, and the link, but as well as possible bike selection, I was also after advice local to Hobart LBS's. Please don't take this this the wrong way, especially from a very new member, but I was in the Tassie section for a reason.
Advice on types of bikes has been eye opening, to say the least, and I now realise I need to stretch my 'brand new bike' budget a few $100 more than first expected. Unless there is a good 2nd hand bike for sale, in Tassie, that will suit my needs. Cheers, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Greg,
You'll still see a thread title in the Tassie section. You're really asking two questions though. The most important one at this stage is "which bike?". "Where to buy?" comes later. However, feel free to start another thread asking "where in Tassie?" once you've decided what sort of bike, if you can't find such a thread in the Tassie section already. It's much better to ask "Who stocks this bike?" than "Which bike shop? I know nothing ..." Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.

Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Cool, I wasn't aware that on this forum, when you 'move' a thread, it also stays where it was originally.
I'm pretty sure I know what format of bike I need to be looking at (flat bar), now I'm asking opinions from fellow Hobart people on where they would send me to have a look (for value, service etc). Cheers, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Trek 7 http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bikes/sh ... rek-7-0-fx
$500 Norco VFR 3 http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bikes/sh ... orco-vfr-3 $600 Both are honest bikes and for a heavyset rider should be fine. If you get the Trek you should have some money left over for a helmet/pump/spare tubes etc.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Flat bar road bicycle with 32 or 35mm tyres would probably do - I suppose it depends on what sort of off-road you are doing.

Re: G'Day! New member with a question.G'Day Greg, welcome outside.
I concur with the masses, a decent flattie is the way to go. MTBs are great all rounders but you aren't looking to get dirty. Yet At your end of the market, the difference between a $400 bike and a $700 bike in terms of quality and satisfaction is huge. With a Kmart bike, riding will be something you have to do. Something like Graeme or Rockford suggested will mean riding is something you want to do, big difference. Not to mention the cost of getting a BSO assembled and tuned if you aren't up to doing it yourself will quickly chew up a fair bit of the savings. A decent LBS does a lot more than sell you a bike, if your nearest LBS don't make you feel comfortable go elsewhere. Their loss. Now, most importantly. You must return with pictures and brag about your new bike, unwritten rule Cheers Shaun ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Well, firstly,I have to say a big thank you to everybody who has offered really good advice! I come from car forums where being smartalec little pricks is normal fare for any post that is posted. Maturity has arrived!! That said, most of the bikes on here cost more than the cars on some forums!
I had a look on BikeExchange in Hobart for flat bar bikes and found these two: Merida Glide S20 V $599 http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bikes/show/100053139-merida-glide-s20-v Merida Glide S5 V $499 http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bikes/show/100053140-merida-glide-s5-v Ken Self Cycles isn't that far from my house (15-20 minutes drive), but now I have some bikes to look at, and compare when I go to Ride (5 minutes from home) and other LBS's. And yes, I'll post up some pics when I finally buy a bike! Cheers, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Either of those bikes will get you started Greg. You'll be happier on one of those than a MTB, for sure.
Fit is most important, so don't walk out of the shop with a bike which was cheaper than another but doesn't fit as well as that other bike. You'll regret such a purchase. Good luck. Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.
--------------------------------------- My web site: www.scenebyhird.com --------------------------------------- The Bicycle Transportation Alliance
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.As far as fit goes, what is the rule there? I guess they'll know, but when I was a kid, you had to be able to straddle the frame with about an inch clearence in the groin area.
But I agree with you 100% on the best fit bike. I'd rather spend and extra $100 and get a bike that I'll enjoy riding, thus get more out of it. And is that brand any good? Cheers, Greg.
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.The rule these days is to get the frame top tube length and therefore reach correct. First get the saddle height correct. http://www.bikeradar.com/fitness/techni ... ight-14608 Then when that is done. Sit on the bike and look down at the front axle. For a flat bar road bike the bottom of the handlebar (in my opinion) should appear to be about 50mm in front of the axle. This is a "ball park" figure which you can fine tune later. Don't be absolutely reliant on your LBS to fit you, as you may find they sell you something not quite right to get it off the floor and make a sale. The reason you can't use the "straddle the frame method" these days is that unlike the past, frames come in different shapes these days. http://surlybikes.com/blog/spew/spew_17_bike_fit/ http://www.wiggle.co.uk/h/option/bikesizeguide
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Merida are fine as a brand. Just remember there is always room to haggle on bikes a bit, or he'll give you a discount on accessories. He might also have some 2009 he is keen to push but don't be swayed by the good price if it's the wrong size.
As a very broad recommendation size wise you'll probably be a Medium if normally proportioned like a front rower (like me I'm a Medium heightwise but a Small legs wise as they are so short and stocky)
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Was just looking on the Ride (LBS 5 minutes from home) and found this.
http://www.ride.net.au/recreation/products/13100086/13100466?s=6 It's in my price range, looks OK, now to get in there on Friday and have a look at it (I work Sunday to Thursday so Friday is it, as I play cricket on Saturdays). Hopefully it fits my frame. Am I heading in the right direction? Cheers, Greg. EDIT - Here is link from the mMerida site. http://www.merida.com.au/en_AU/Bikes.Detail.174
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.
In my opinion, no. You have chosen a bike with front suspension, which is completely redundant for your riding conditions. There are very good reasons why serious riders avoid hybrids. Although they are called comfort bikes by the marketing division of the bike makers, they are misnamed. Front suspension on a bike primarily designed for the road or paved paths does the following: - adds weight - adds cost - adds complexity where none is needed - reduces rider efficiency By adding cost to the bike, the manufacturers cut back in other areas to keep the whole bike within a price point. That means you're getting worse gearing, brakes, seat, tyres, etc than you'd get on a bike with rigid forks for the same price. Adding weight is obviously not much fun. Adding complexity means you've got one more thing to go wrong on your bike. Cheap suspension forks not only fail to do their job properly, but they'll rob you of power when climbing as they absorb some of the energy you're putting into the bike. By choosing this bike over the style of bike linked to earlier, you're making your ride more difficult. Please reconsider and once more look at flat bar road bikes. Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.
--------------------------------------- My web site: www.scenebyhird.com --------------------------------------- The Bicycle Transportation Alliance
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.OK, so even though it looks like a flat bar bike, having the front suspension is a big no-no?
The only flat bar bike that Ride has is $799, which is well over my budget. I'll focus my attention back towards the Merida Glide S5 V then. Looks can be deceiving to a newb!! Cheers, Greg. EDIT - This is the one in my price range. Merida Glide S5 V. http://www.merida.com.au/en_AU/Bikes.Detail.1002
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Within your budget, that one will be okay, especially since you've only got a short ride to do each day. At least you'll get a start in riding that will be somewhat more enjoyable than the hard slog you would have faced on a bicycle-shaped object from K-mart.
Just remember that if it gets too hard, you shouldn't judge all cycling by the experience you'll get on that bike. A better bike (eg a road bike worth ~$1000) will be a quantum leap on the Glide S5 V, so don't give up on riding based on this first bike. Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.
--------------------------------------- My web site: www.scenebyhird.com --------------------------------------- The Bicycle Transportation Alliance
Re: G'Day! New member with a question.Oh God no!! I'll be loving the ride, as long as the weather is decent! I need to lose some weight, gain some conditioning, and help out my dicky knee! As well as save some money on fuel. Now I have to find out if MBF still chip in towards fitness equipment!!
I very much agree with everybody that the Glide S5 V is an entry level bike, at this level, but it is still streets ahead of any MTB (or piece of crap from K-Mart / Big W etc). My last bike (an Apollo 24" frame, 15 speed) cost me $400 in 1989, and that was fairly big money back then for a 12yo! I tend to hang on to expensive stuff and look after it (titanium Oakleys I brought in 1999 for $350 still look like new and I wear them all the time). What I will be reading up on a lot, once I get a bike, and get it all setup to my frame, is maintance. Stuff like brake pads etc I know nothing about. Also, as I get fitter and more used to the bike, and riding in general, I haven't been riding constantly for almost 10 years, will the bikes setting need to be adjusted and I get better? I have a lot to learn and a lot of listening (well, reading!) to do! Cheers, Greg.

This training method is used to gain better chakra control. To do this, the user has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of the their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. This technique is more difficult to master than the Tree Climbing Practice, because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly.
It has also been shown that one can use their chakra to "skate" across the water surface, like an ice skater, instead of just walking or running. And, as noted by Jiraiya, the more one trains this technique the more they reach a state where they stand on water without even noticing it or basically even trying.[1]

In FY 2004, OJJDP initiated the EUDL Discretionary Grant Program: Rural Communities Initiative that addresses underage drinking problems most prevalent in rural communities (e.g., impaired driving, social availability). This initiative resulted from new collaboration between OJJDP and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). NIAAA-funded researchers are conducting local evaluations for each State funded by the FY 2004 and FY 2005 grants. A total of seven states and their twenty-five selected rural communities are participating in this demonstration and evaluation effort.
In FY 2006, OJJDP initiated the EUDL Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking, a demonstration partnership between selected communities and five Air Force bases in four states. Again, NIAAA-funded researchers are conducting local and base evaluations for each state funded with EUDL discretionary awards in FY 2006 and supplemented in FY 2007.
In FY 2009, OJJDP provided funding to ICF, International to evaluate demonstration partnerships between selected communities and Air Force bases that were added in FY 2009 and FY 2012 under grants to a total of four states.

I wouldn't expect any major difference in performance of 2 mainboards using the same APU and AMD Chipset anyway.
But it's good to have some details on the "small" things like SuperIO Chips, sensors and so on.
Good to hear that Multi GPU works in fglrx since with APUs it really makes sense to have it once you decide to put a dedicated card in.
Still all of them are gaming desktop related and currently I'm looking for smaller office / HTPC like things.

Product Description
6" Wallboard Saw A Small But Rugged Tool Made With Craftsman Quality
If you want a quality tool that's easy to use, look no further than the Craftsman 6 in. wallboard saw. It's got the Craftsman name, so you know it is the highest quality. Designers created this handy saw with a sharp point to help you dig in and a hardened and tempered steel blade with razor-sharp teeth to cut quickly and evenly. It's designed to make short work of wallboard and other synthetic building materials, helping you get the job done with precision and speed.
The 6 in. wallboard saw isn't just designed to rip through construction materials, it's also designed for comfort.

My husband love his craftsman wallboard saw
via sears.com
Needed a wallboard saw to cut out holes for electrical outlets. This was a good value. Simple and durable tool, purchased at a really good price.
Staten Island, NY

via sears.com
This is very light saw for cuttin cardboard boxes and shrubs in your backyard without tiring out your arm. Also the tiny front allows it to reach smaller corners and hidden spots.
Corona, CA
via sears.com
It's a very good jab saw to have around the house and makes the job of patching wall a lot easier.
Edison, NJ
via sears.com
This is a very light saw (like a knife) that can easily cut through cardboard, but it will take quite some time to cut through wood and other harder materials. But for lightweight stuff like twigs, weeds, etc. it does the job without tiring your arm.
Charleston, WV
via sears.com
I got this to cut some holes for two new electric outlets I was installing in my new home. I didn't think to make sure it was drywall and not plaster -- which it was. Despite being a lot harder to get through than drywall, this knife worked pretty well and the grip is big enough to hold onto.
Cranesville, PA
via sears.com
The Craftsman 6 in wallboard saw is a decent little hand saw with many uses, it was actually more sturdy than I thought it would be. For the price you cannot go wrong, I use it for a lot of different uses
Abingdon, VA
via sears.com
Works very well and the price was great. It is very sturdy, comfortable grip, and easily cuts any angles very quickly. The teeth are very sharp, and the handle is contoured nicely for grip. Would recommend to anyone in need of a drywall saw.

That 200x MAA mace looks cool, but one of these days what I've love to see is a Mark Taylor-accurate MAA mace, as seen in his design drawing here:
The ball part that separates would be its own piece with a loop, and then the main mace part itself would have another loop connector so that each person could locate and fashion their own real working chain on it.
How rad would that be?

Is there an easy way to navigate shapeways? I assume there are lots of cool items on there but because of name issues, tough to find.

Aside from the tip of the mace and the lack of the third "flair/tier" (?) Dekker's mace looks very similar...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!
At the moment I'm working on a second version of the mace with a chain directly created by shapeways. That would mean that nobody has to find a real chain that fits and attach it to the mace
Well, unfortunately shapeways does not offer orange material but you can order a painted version from me
Actually I could finally create a translucent version of the staff . Some more weeks and I will be able to show and offer itOriginally Posted by facet

Adding features that allows/requires users to fiddle around with things they shouldn't need to fiddle with in the first place is a terrible idea. It's like adding a treadmill to every Sony television because their power cords are defective. Fix the problem, don't engineer around it.
As it is now, each app saves files in its own storage area that is isolated from every other app and shielded from direct user access. The only way to access such a file is by uploading a copy to a server, typically SkyDrive, and accessing it there. Unfortunately, not every app can upload files. Even if a particular app can upload files to SkyDrive, that might not always be appropriate. For example, many people have their own NAS servers at home and would appreciate being able to upload their files via shared folders, WebDAV or FTP. The inability to attach arbitrary files to e-mails is a similar problem. As it is now, every app must include these exact same features... over and over again, as part of every individual app. Not good.
These are what I perceive to be the main file related problems. I'm doubtful that a file explorer app is the best way to solve these though.
For anyone on this forum a file explorer app certainly wouldn't cause any problems, but for many of the more casual smartphone users it may. Such an app also has the potential to introduce security holes into the system. - 01-10-2013, 04:59 PM #6
wow first vote for no :)
Okay the reason i voted no is i love wp8 because of the simplicity. I know having another option is great and all but i like the fact that it does not have a file explorer - 01-10-2013, 05:35 PM #7
I doubt Microsoft will introduce a publicly accessible file system and a file explorer, no matter how many people ask for it. It appears completely at odds with current OS concepts. Simplicity, as you mentioned, is certainly one reason that stands against doing so.
Furthermore, a file explorer is a solution, but whether or not that solution actually solves the problems people are experiencing is an entirely different question. I'm guessing more often than not it wouldn't.
Finally, there are usually many possible solutions to any given problem, so focusing on a particular solution without having a clear understanding of what everyone's issues are usually isn't worthwhile. I feel that is what is being done here. - 01-10-2013, 05:49 PM #8
If you truly believe there is but one way to accomplish the simple tasks you've listed, then you suffer from a lack of imagination. Usually many solutions exist to any given computing problem.
If your list included every required feature, I would view a file explorer app as complete overkill. I can think of multiple ways of meeting those requirements without:
a) a file explorer app
b) requiring every developer to replicate file related functionality in every app
c) compromising the security/reliability benefits offered by isolated storage (which a file explorer app would)Last edited by a5cent; 01-10-2013 at 06:04 PM. Reason: Spelling
You are correct.
But what about your own files? simply files, music, photos, videos and even documents,
the sd card has folders but only appears on a pc, and you can't manage them until you reach a pc.
I don't care about the apps folder. It just a different view.
and good or bad, that I don't see it coming... - 01-10-2013, 08:49 PM #12
^use the SkyDrive app for Windows Phone. Are trying to use the web version or something?
Its more about being able to manage, download, email, etc OUR files, no matter the file type. Its really a simple friggin concept but thus far, MS refuses to give this simple ability.
MS has been very hard headed about some things with WP OS's. And I think it does more to hurt them and us, than anything else.
They market it as OUR Windows Phones, yet there is plenty we can't even do with our own files.
And ****, they couldn't even give us a color maker to choose our own colors, instead giving us a small choice to choose from. - 01-10-2013, 11:17 PM #14
1. File manager access, especially through 3rd party apps is a security risk.
2. The UI uses the accent color for informative and actionable content. If given full control to the user, they may use a color too hard to see. While you may say that they should just let the user **** it up if they want, there is value to maintaining a certain level of control. Look what happens with Android, I've seen some horrible customizations on those phones.
At my company we've struggled with similar situations with our customers ability to customize colors in our product - 01-11-2013, 01:13 AM #15
Both of you fail to understand the breadth of the issues involved.
Do you understand the problems Microsoft addressed with WP's isolated storage?
Do you understand the problems addressed by WP's security model?
Do you understand the problems that lead Microsoft to disallow even developers from accessing WP's file system directly?
If you don't, then you understand but 1% of the problem. Solving people's issues with WP's file management isn't just about addressing your simple list of requirements... any potential solution must also preserve and fit in with the functionality and features that are already part of the OS, most of which isn't immediately apparent to end users. My point is that although your simple list of requirements is easy to understand, the entirety of the problem is not.
That isn't a five minute write up. Right now I just haven't got the time, but I'll get back to you soon. - 01-11-2013, 02:49 PM #16
If you're an Android developer, that explains your over anxious need to access everything on someone's smartphone. Meanwhile Android is stuffed with crapware and malware, etc.
There is a **** ton you can do on a phone app without having to access the phones native file system.
It sounds like you have some ulterior motive for that access... - 01-11-2013, 05:51 PM #18
I never said there was a solution for a file manager with WP and developers. I simply said that in general there are a lot of things you can do when developing for WP and its much easier for a W8 port to WP8.
Most people don't need a file manager and most developers don't need access to one for apps.
Would a file manager be nice? Sure, but for most peoples needs, being able to put files on the phone though windows explore and SkyDrive is enough. Not being able to do what you want is not some catastrophic issue for developers that makes the OS impossible to develop for or scare 99% of them a way.
You act as if WP is impossible to develop for because of this restriction. "M$ sandbox" this and that. What about iOS? Have you ever tried developing for that? Its a royal nightmare.
In fact, although I haven't used it lately, but is there even a file manager for it?
You've played with Android right? What about the fact that there is a million versions of Android out there because half the phones can't update? So now developers have to create 10 different versions just so they can get it on everyone's phone.
Each platform has its draw backs WP is actually pretty damn easy to develop for though despite your rant for a stupid file manager.Last edited by spaulagain; 01-11-2013 at 06:06 PM.
You don't have to use it just because it is there.
I am more interested in the protected memeory spaces. Would a file manager actually cause an issue with protected file spaces? - 01-11-2013, 06:03 PM #20
I was so thrilled to get a file manager when I switched from iOS to Android a few years ago. Turns out I used it once to see what it was like. Guess I'm not a power user :)
Having the apps be smart enough to know what file types it can interact with works fine for me, and there's SkyDrive and the PC interface for pretty much everything else. So one vote for "I don't care", though now that I think of it, I might change it to "no" because I'd rather them use the resources to add some other features like ringer profiles. - 01-11-2013, 06:49 PM #21
I just downloaded a PDF and viewed in adobe reader on my windows phone. Just to be a ****, I downloaded it from my dropbox.
If you want a phone with root access, an unrestricted file system, and apps that can snoop into any other apps on the phone, get an android, they can easily be made to do these things.
Edit: Forgot to mention bringcast, which is a decent podcast app, and downloads my podcasts to the phone. It's not rocket science, guy. - 01-11-2013, 07:11 PM #22
Yep. Just to be a ****.
No seriously, your banging your head against a wall that Microsoft put up to keep people like you out.
Why did you buy a Windows Phone? Did you not realize the significant differences between it and other mobile OSes would present you with exactly the issues which you are now complaining about? Could you be any more out of touch with yourself?
My biggest gripe with your thread, is that you presume to suggest that EVERYONE wants what your asking for. - 01-11-2013, 07:42 PM #23
Sorry, I mistakenly assumed you were the OP, but regardless, there is not a broad enough base of windows phone users that partake in polls here or elsewhere, and so it would be disingenuous to suggest that a majority want a feature unless a customer survey that is broadly participated in is undertaken to determine such user demands. If you know of one, I would be interested to see it. Perhaps Microsoft has some customer feedback data that could shed light on the issue.
At least your honest about your own lack of research into the features that you now realize were more critical to you, bit which are not available on your phone.
If the 8X is really having these "other" storage issues, then that would suggest its related to something to do with that phone in particular, but I have no experience with WP8 as of yet, so I can't (should not) really speak to that. - 01-11-2013, 10:57 PM #25
Which means it will be out on 8 soon.
And there is a native PDF reader preloaded on the OS (same as Windows). I've used it multiple times for work. Works just fine.
At this point it seems like you're just building steam for the **** of it. So whatever your problem is, I don't care anymore. You just make up more **** to **** in the water hole anyways. -

In a file photo from July 30, 2010, Floyd Landis crosses the finish line after racing a 2.3-mile time trial section during the Tour of the Catskills cycling race in Tannersville, N.Y. He is promoting a Gran Fondo race in June in the Catskills. / Hans Pennink AP
Three years after his doping admission exposed the rampant performance-enhancing drug use of Lance Armstrong and other American pro cyclists, Floyd Landis will step back into the bicycle world this spring.
Landis, 37, is organizing a "Gran Fondo" amateur race in New York's Catskills Mountains June 1-2. He said he wants the event to focus solely on amateur and recreational riders, not professional racers.
"Professional cycling is organized crime," he told USA TODAY Sports. "I'm done with that."
Speaking from his home in southern Connecticut, Landis said the race is less about restoring his public image and more about interacting with recreational cyclists.
"This is about using whatever association people have with me to create an event where people can have a good time," Landis said. "Other than that, I'm finished with cycling - I have no interest in being a public figure in cycling."
Landis' relationship with cycling since he was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France win has been dysfunctional at best, depressing at worst. He maintained his innocence for four years, and his comeback to pro racing in 2009 was plagued by marginal results and team dysfunction.
In 2010, Landis admitted to doping throughout his career in a detailed letter to USA Cycling and a series of interviews, and then retreated from the public eye. Since then he's focused on various lawsuits that sprung from his admission, including a fraud case from donors to his defense fund, and a whistleblower lawsuit against Armstrong for defrauding the federal government.
Landis declined to discuss his lawsuits or Armstrong's confession of doping. Landis said he will pay back the nearly $480,000 in donations he received during his failed fight against doping authorities. He described the last three years of his life as "a long process."
"I didn't tell the truth for a long time, and it was hard for me to then tell the truth and watch people try to say that wasn't the case," Landis said. "I was a villain for people in cycling because I lied for so long."
Landis' race will include a steep 3-mile climb on June 1 and a 100-mile route around Windham, N.Y., on June 2. Registration costs $100. The event is timed, and will award prizes for top age group finishers, but it has no affiliation with cycling's national governing body, USA Cycling. Landis is organizing the event alongside race promoter Dieter Drake, whose Tour of the Battenkill race in Cambridge, N.Y., is one of the largest amateur races in the country.
Promoting Gran Fondo (Italian for "big ride") events has become en vogue for cyclists of Landis' era. Levi Leipheimer, who admitted to doping during the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's investigation into Armstrong, has held a Gran Fondo in Santa Rosa, Calif., since 2009. George Hincapie, whose testimony before USADA was crucial in the Armstrong case, will debut the Gran Fondo Hincapie in Greenville, S.C., in October.
Germany's 1997 Tour champion Jan Ulrich, whose career ended in 2006 after he was linked to a Spanish doping ring, is a regular at European Gran Fondo events and also helped launch the Miami Gran Fondo in 2011.
Whether the American cycling community welcomes Landis is yet to be seen. Ulrich Fluhme, who promotes New York City's Gran Fondo NY, said he has mixed feelings about Gran Fondos that are affiliated with riders who competed during pro cycling's dirty era.
"I'm always torn between giving someone a lifetime ban and giving them a second chance," said Fluhme, who does not promote his race with pros. "I think these guys can show through personal behavior if they really learned from their mistakes."
Drake said he is not worried that Landis' presence will deter registration. He believes Landis' participation in USADA's case against Armstrong and his public discussions of his own doping has changed public opinion.
"Floyd was the first guy to come out," Drake said. "Some might view that as a bad PR move, but I think he'll end up being on the right side of history."
Landis said he and Drake will use the 2013 race to decide whether the level of interest is great enough to make it an annual event. Landis will also participate in both days of racing. He said he's prepared to field any questions about his past, should participants ask about his own experiences in pro racing.
"I've been dealing with this for seven years now, and it's not a painful thing to talk about anymore," he said. "Things have evolved. It's better now that I can tell the truth about what happened."

Rush Select Prepares for Presidents Day Tournament
Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 February 2013 13:28
The players will arrive Thursday, a couple of days ahead of the tournament, to ensure the coaches get a chance to build some team camaraderie, as many of the teams are comprised of players that have rarely or never played with each other. Friday will be the day where all the players and coaching staff will head to Grande Sports World, in Casa Grande, AZ, a big supporter of Rush Soccer. The day will consist of morning training, lunch, afternoon individual team building sessions, dinner and the a Select wide meeting.
Reaching the final will consist of six games in three days, so the coaches will work hard to ensure that the players fitness and preparation before and after the games is taken into account as well as the focus on winning the tournament. Without the intimate knowledge of the players this is a little tougher than it sounds and so the organization becomes very important.
You can follow the Select Program through Facebook/RushSelect or Rush Soccer and on Twitter again both through RushSelect or Rush Soccer.

I'm downloading the Kubuntu amd64 torrent right now and will give it a try with kvm and/or live. If it's solid I might give it to a friend who's lately become interested in Linux after seeing KDE.
Phoronix: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" Officially Released
Just as planned, Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" has been officially released this morning. Additionally, 9.10 Karmic releases of Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu, and Ubuntu Studio are also available...
I'm downloading the Kubuntu amd64 torrent right now and will give it a try with kvm and/or live. If it's solid I might give it to a friend who's lately become interested in Linux after seeing KDE.
Currently doing a network update of my personal webserver/subversion repository box, and simultaneously downloading a copy of the x64 ISO for later use. If my mythbox were responding to ssh connection requests right now, I'd be tunneling through to my desktop to try that too.
Oh well. I guess it's probably for the best that I can't do them all at once, just in case something breaks
Here's hoping that the r600 3D is easier to keep updated, (using xorg-edgers instead of hand-compiling my kernels).
What is missing in Karmic for 3D (on r600)? DRM too old? Mesa too old? Radeon too old?
I'd like to fix that, because i was quite happy with 3d on Jaunty...
Woo hoo!
Congrats to everyone involved (Ubuntu, Debian, Gnome, KDE, Linux, ...). I have been using it for a few weeks now and really like it. Boot up performance aside, the desktop experience is a lot snappier.
There are still a few rough edges (such as DVD/CD tray eject not working), but overall well done. These should be ironed out in a while, though.
Looking forward to Lucid (and hoping that it takes advantage of CUSE/OSSP support in recent kernels to offer a better experience with OSS-based applications).
For me, totally upgraded from xorg-edgers it is just to add 2.6.32 kernel from, for example http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...daily/current/ ...
I was planning on just using xorg-edgers (for libdrm/xorg-driver-ati/mesa) and their drm-snapshot kernel from now on. I believe that should be sufficient, but I haven't tried it yet.
From what I believe I've read, the stock Karmic kernel doesn't have the DRM bits for r600, and as a result drm/mesa/xorg-driver don't have support for it. But given the xorg-edgers PPA, it should be really easy to get everything working (I had been using this PPA in Jaunty with a hand-compiled kernel from Linus' linux-2.6 tree).
You should use the Kernel 2.6.32 (prereleases) from the Ubuntu Mainline PPA: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
@topic: What a great release! Nice one, devs!

Not that I wouldn't welcome anything in that way, but it seems not very realistic to me looking back at the many years these chips are around, even in popular Beagleboards and others.

Daily OCD: 3/5/12 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Tony Millionaire, Peter Bagge, Joost Swarte, Joe Sacco, Joe Daly, Jim Woodring, Jason, interviews, Gilbert Hernandez, Fantagraphics Bookstore, Dave Cooper, Daily OCD, Blake Bell, Bill Everett, Best of 2011 | 6 Mar 2012 2:13 AM |
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "Any new work from Norwegian cartoonist Jason is worthy of a comics fan's full attention, but the new, all-original short-story collection Athos in America is one of the best books of Jason's career, which automatically makes it one of the best books of this year." – Noel Murray, The A.V. Club
• Review: "...Joost Swarte... brought a nose-thumbing avant-garde sensibility to 'ligne claire' style Eurocomics in the '70s and '80s, even before he landed stories in the seminal art-comics anthology Raw. Is That All There Is? collects nearly 150 pages of Swarte's most groundbreaking work... With his architectural sense of design and his punk-rock attitude, Swarte fused craft and nihilistic flippancy in stories about adventurers, harlots, musicians, and scientists, creating true 'modern art.'" – Noel Murray, The A.V. Club
• Review: "About all that was missing from Blake Bell's 2010 Bill Everett biography Fire & Water was extended samples of Everett's artist's actual comics. Bell now remedies that by serving as editor on Amazing Mysteries: The Bill Everett Archives Vol. 1... These publications rode the superhero wave initiated by the companies that would later become DC and Marvel, and while they didn't withstand the test of time, they're still a kick to read, buoyed by their no-nonsense action plots and by Everett's propensity for drawing narrow figures poised to commit acts of violence." – Noel Murray, The A.V. Club
• Review: At The Unshelved Book Club, Gene Ambaum looks at Joe Daly's The Red Monkey Double Happiness Book in that site's unique format
• Review: "This collection is the ultimate love letter to all those 1960s kid comic books, but with a modern twist.... Each person is a well-defined character with strong flaws and backgrounds. With so much diversity, there is bound to be at least one character you will like.... If you are looking for a kid-friendly book with some charm, go ahead and pick [Yeah!] up." – Kevin Brown, City Book Review
• Profile: he Los Angeles Times (via a few of their suburban affiliates like the Glendale News Press) visits Tony Millionaire in his garage studio: "In his introduction to 500 Portraits, Millionaire writes that life experience has taught him that 85% of all people are 'bogus' or worse. In the garage, he describes himself as misanthropic, but admits his drawings often suggest otherwise. 'As it turns out, you can tell by looking at these portraits, I obviously love people — even the [jerks]. Hitler's done very lovingly,' he says. 'I think it's nice to have the juxtaposition of my disgust for humanity mixed with my obvious love for humanity. You can't draw like that if you really hate something.'"
• Profile: The Ottawa Citizen's Bruce Deachman catches up with Dave Cooper: "'There are different facets of my creative mind,' he says. 'I feel I need a lot of contrast, so I have all these things happening, but they're all necessary to make me feel satisfied. It's got to be this big pot happening, with everything boiling at once. It's therapy for me,' he adds. 'I don't see ever wanting to retire from the thing that I love to death.'" There's a short video, too, which Dave has posted on his blog
• Plug: Robot 6's Brigid Alverson is partway through Jim Woodring's Congress of the Animals: "Woodring's art has a real solidity to it and like the best surrealists, he creates unreal shapes and figures that seem real—he has figured out how to make new bodily orifices that mimic the old and yet are totally different. Like visions in a dream, they are convincing and false at the same time."
• Plug: CHS Capitol Hill Seattle has a great feature on and chat with Cathy Hillenbrand and our upcoming retrospective celebration of her publishing venture Real Comet Press
• List: Bill Jones of Pads & Panels names his Best Comic Books of 2011 including Isle of 100,000 Graves...
"Jason teams up with Fabien Vehlmann to craft a dark comedy about someone following a mysterious map in a bottle to and island where something strange is happening. The premise itself is a spoiler, as it's a laugh-out-loud moment when the reader finds out what is going on. Jason's work is as stellar as ever, just with a lot more dialogue this time around."
...and Safe Area Gorazde: The Special Edition:
"Safe Area Gorade wasn't a new book in 2011, but the special edition it got last year was enough to earn it a spot on this list. Joe Sacco reigns as the preeminent comics journalist, and Safe Area Gorade is another great reason why."
