Cashner to face old team in series finale
Former Cub to start opposite Rusin in teams' last meeting this season
Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner will start opposite the team that drafted him for the second time this season in Sunday's rubber game against the Cubs.
Cashner, who was dealt to the Padres in January 2012 in the deal that brought first baseman Anthony Rizzo to Chicago, has faced his former team three times in his career, with two relief appearances in 2012 and a May 1 start this year.
The 26-year-old's results against his former team have not been good, as the righty holds an 0-1 record and 9.00 ERA -- the highest against any opponent in his career -- in those three games.
Cashner has seen success with the Padres this season, though, posting an 8-8 record and a 3.73 ERA since moving into San Diego's starting rotation in late April.
"I feel like I've grown a lot as a pitcher and a lot as a person," Cashner said. "I was young, didn't really know what was going on, and I feel like I have a lot better of an idea of what I want to do out there on the mound.
"I've got a lot of really good friends over there. I came up with a lot of those guys, and I've got a lot of good friends that you'll never make again. It's good seeing them, but I wouldn't trade being in California for anything."
Cashner has pitched well his last two outings, but he took losses in each of them. He tossed seven innings and allowed three earned runs on six hits in a 4-2 loss to the Rockies on Aug. 14, and he gave up three runs (one earned) on five hits in seven innings in a 3-1 loss to the Pirates on Monday.
Chris Rusin will take the mound for the Cubs and face the Padres for the first time in his young career.
The 26-year-old left-hander has also pitched well his last two starts, despite taken the loss both times. Rusin threw six innings and allowed two earned runs on three hits in a 5-0 loss to the Reds on Aug. 14, and he lasted 5 2/3 innings Tuesday in his most recent time out, allowing two earned runs on 10 hits in a 4-2 loss to the Nationals.
Rusin said he needed to fall back on his other pitches after his two-seam fastball was ineffective Tuesday.
"I couldn't find my two-seam [fastball] today, but I was able to find some other pitches to get me out of jams, and that's just the way baseball is," Rusin said. "Just made a couple mistakes that cost me, but I was able to get out of some jams. I helped myself out there."
Cubs: 2013 return still in play for Baker
The Cubs are still holding out hope for a return this season from pitcher Scott Baker, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery.
In his rehab outing Friday with Class A Kane County, Baker gave up one run on four hits, including a solo home run, over four innings -- his longest outing so far.
"He's still working his way back," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said Saturday. "He's been gaining a little bit of velocity and gaining a better feel as he goes. It's still a process for him. Yesterday was a step in the right direction.
"He's such a good worker and so dedicated to come back this year," Hoyer said. "Our hope is that he can come back."
Padres: Volquez designated; Brach called up
The Padres designated struggling right-hander Edinson Volquez for assignment Saturday and in a corresponding move recalled reliever Brad Brach from Triple-A Tucson.
Volquez started the season as the Padres' Opening Day starter, but he limped to a 6.01 ERA and 1.67 WHIP this season. His 95 earned runs allowed were tied for most in Major League Baseball entering Sunday.
The 30-year-old right-hander lasted just 2/3 of an inning Friday after allowing six runs (five earned) on five hits in the first inning of an eventual 8-6 San Diego win.
"At times we thought we had him on a roll," Padres manager Bud Black said. "There were times when we thought we had him where we needed him to be, but just the uneven-ness of his performance -- because the talent is there -- is frustrating."
Right-hander Tim Stauffer, who came on in relief of Volquez on Friday and threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings, could take Volquez's next scheduled start Wednesday.
• Carlos Quentin's injured right knee was feeling much better after some treatment, manager Bud Black said Saturday, but he did not do any running drills on the field.
"Because of the marked improvement -- how he's feeling -- we're a little bit more positive than we were a few days ago," Black said.
Quentin leads the Padres with an .855 OPS and was hitting .275 with 13 homers in 85 games this year.
Worth noting
• The Padres and Cubs have split the season series 3-3 entering Sunday.
• As is the case with just about every Padres pitcher, Cashner's numbers at Petco Park are much better than those on the road. He is 5-3 at home with a 2.38 ERA, compared with 3-5 with a 4.93 ERA on the road.

February 25, 2015 - I bought the mauve cat as a gift, when I first got it I was thinking how does that fit over an adult head but then it dawned on me that it slips to fit over head and then you slip it back to adjustment you decide on. It is so beautiful and delicate looking, really pretty. I love it. I think I may buy more for gifts. Thank you.
February 11, 2015 - very nice <3
January 15, 2015 - I like it its pretty, but the picture makes it look like its opaque & its kind of transparent. I bought it for a gift & she loves it.
January 10, 2015 - Beautiful in person! Gift for my aunt and she loves it.
December 26, 2014 - Very pretty pendant, didn't care for the too-short thin cord, will be looking to replace that with something else.
Artisan: Calypso Chile Glass Fusing
Marcela Cofre has been making unique fused glass jewelry since 1994. "I always enjoyed working with my hands, and the need to support a household led me into arts and crafts. I tried crochet, pressed flowers, and batik, but they didn't sell well," she says. "So I taught myself the art of transforming glass with heat." Marcela opened a workshop and soon was able to provide for all her family's needs. "At the same time I realized that with the creation of the workshop I was able to provide satisfying jobs for many people in my community, providing fair wages and giving the workers self esteem and happiness."
Calypso Chile Glass Fusing is a micro enterprise run from Marcela's home. "In the beginning I placed my products in local shops in Chile. In time, business conditions in Chile forced us to look into exporting our products. Now our merchandise is sold throughout the U.S. and Europe."
Marcela's main concern is the welfare of her artisan employees and their families, and she works to ensure their fair treatment, access to education, and ability to support themselves in a happy, healthy environment. "We are very proud to be able to give work to more than thirty families in Chile making glass jewelry, decorative pieces, wind chimes, and ornamental glassware. Our company provides dignified work to women heads of households," she says. Calypso Chile Glass welcomes all fair trade groups to help with their mission in Chile. She explains, "Our current project is sponsoring the work of students who are selling wonderful artwork made from recycled glass bottles. The profits will be used to help a nursery school for poor children at social risk."
Sonia Casas Labrine has worked at Calypso for twenty years. She started as a caregiver for Marcela's daughters before learning to make necklaces. Sonia has two sons and a granddaughter; one of her sons, Felipe, is in a wheelchair. Sonia's work with Calypso has helped her cope with the difficult reality of her son's disability. With the money she earns, she's been able to pay for all of his medical care. Sonia says she and her children never would have made it without the support of her Calypso family.
Another employee, Natalia Fierro, says "I have worked in Calypso for the last 13 years of my life and not only has it been a wonderful job but also it has been a school. I work in the administrative area dealing with national and international clients. Every day I learn something new and it always happens in such friendly environment that I give thanks for this beautiful life. It could not be better. I have a job, friends, I am always learning and Calypso is the best family I could ever dream of. I am happy. I am complete."

Comments about COLUMBIA Men's Bugaboo Kustom Jacket:
Gee whiz...for $230 I would have expected a real jacket rather than just a shell. I liked the style and color so much that I searched for a liner for it, but to no avail. The Columbia website has no info on a liner for this she'll and I couldn't find any info throughout the internet for a liner. Since I couldn't find a liner, I returned this windbreaker.
- Was this a gift?:
- No

Atlanta might make a trade for Millsap or Jefferson if they think they're losing Josh Smith in free agency. Horford can play either front court position. They're not lottery though.
Washington needs Millsap. Nene and Okafor are centers, they're playing no-names and Jan Vesely at PF right now.
San Antonio might like Millsap. They're still playing Diaw next to Duncan with Bonner and Blair (whom they've basically given up on) coming off the bench. No pick there, however.
A pick from San Antonio in the 25 - 30 range won't help our cause.
To Charlotte for Biyombo and the higher of our two first rounders + a second-rounder

Family of Utah soccer referee who died holds vigil
Monday - 5/6/2013, 4:14am EDT
BRADY McCOMBS
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Family members of a Utah soccer referee who died a week after a player punched him in the head called on athletes around the world Sunday night to hold their tempers in check so another family doesn't have to suffer.
They spoke at a candlelight vigil held on the front lawn of the Salt Lake City home of Ricardo Portillo, 46. Wearing white shirts and holding signs that read, "In loving memory of Ricky," family and friends stood around a table that had a picture of Portillo raising his arms in victory, with flowers and candles surrounding it.
Police have accused a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league of punching Portillo after he called a foul on him and issued him a yellow card.
Portillo died Saturday night after a week in a coma.
"He was a father, he was a friend, he was a grandfather, he left a whole family behind," said Johana Portillo, the oldest of his three daughters. "They should think before they do something stupid."
The suspect has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault. Authorities will consider additional charges since Portillo has passed away. An autopsy is planned. No cause of death was released.
Asked if she can forgive the teenager, Johana Portillo said she hopes to someday, but isn't ready yet.
She said Sunday she doesn't care what the punishment becomes since it won't bring back her father. She only hopes he can't get out and do the same thing to somebody else, she said.
"I feel sorry for him. I feel for his family," she said. "But if he was old enough to do what he did, then he's responsible to pay for it."
The unaffiliated soccer league, Liga Continental de Futbol, updated its Facebook posting Sunday with a tribute to Portillo including a number of photographs of him refereeing and playing soccer. It also set up a bank account to accept donations for his family.
Mario Vazquez, the league president who also was a friend and worked with Portillo, said Sunday everyone in the league had the greatest respect for him. He had a great sense of humor and loved refereeing, he said. The league plans to honor him with a tribute at next Saturday's games.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Portillo family during this difficult time. Ricardo will always be with us," he said.
Johana Portillo said she hopes her father's death leads to more security at sporting events and better self-control from players. She said her father had been attacked by players twice before in his eight years refereeing soccer matches -- even having his ribs and legs broken.
Pedro Lopez, his brother-in-law and a fellow soccer referee, called on soccer players worldwide to respect referees and remember it's a sport meant to relieve stress -- not cause pain.
"Remember that we are human beings, and we make mistakes," Lopez said in Spanish. "Don't take justice into your own hands."
The former professional soccer player said he plans to continue working as a referee. He said leaving it behind would be abandoning his passion. He said he'll do so remembering Ricardo Portillo.
Ricardo Portillo's daughters had begged him to stop refereeing in a soccer league because of the growing risk of violence from angry players. But, like Lopez, Portillo told his daughters he couldn't quit.
"It was his passion," she said. "We could not tell him no."
Now his three daughters are faced with planning his funeral after he succumbed to injuries late Saturday that had put him in a coma for a week since teenager goalie punched him in the head.
James Yapias, a longtime friend of Ricardo Portillo and youth soccer coach, said coaches and parents need to do a better job teaching children about sportsmanship and being non-violent. He also called for more police presence at games. Portillo's death is a reminder that life can change in a second.
"We all love this sport," Yapias said. "But we all need to respect the rules."
Accounts from a police report, Portillo's daughter and others offer further detail what occurred.
The teenager was playing goalie during a game at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville when Portillo issued him a yellow card for pushing an opposing forward trying to score. In soccer, a yellow card is given as a warning to a player for an egregious violation of the rules. Two yellow cards lead to a red card and expulsion from the game.

FIRST and above all, an explanation must do justice to the thing that is to be explained, must not devaluate it, interpret it away, belittle it, or garble it, in order to make it easier to understand. The question is not "At what view of the phenomenon must we arrive in order to explain it in accordance with one or another philosophy?" but precisely the reverse: "What philosophy is requisite if we are to live up to the subject, be on a level with it?" The question is not how the phenomenon must be turned, twisted, narrowed, crippled so as to be explicable, at all costs, upon principles that we have once and for all resolved not to go beyond. The question is: "To what point must we enlarge our thought so that it shall be in proportion to the phenomenon..."
Schelling, Philosophie der Mythologie. qtd. in V. Zuckerkandl, Sound and Symbol.
"Heartache" is a poeticism, but here it becomes an actual fact because his pride would not let him suffer the pain in his soul. The "lump in the throat," the so-called globus hystericus, comes, as everyone knows, from swallowed tears. His consciousness had simply withdrawn from contents that were too painful to him, and these, left to themselves, could reach consciousness only indirectly, as symptoms. All this was a rationally understandable and perfectly intelligible process, which could just as well have passed off consciously, had it not been for his masculine pride.
The Portable Jung, p.31

1700 McKinney Butte Road
Deschutes National Forest,Sisters,OR 97759
Thursday, January 9: The California Honeydrops will return to Sisters after a rousing 2013 festival appearance. Drawing heavily on Southern soul and Bay-area R&B with a twist of New Orleans second-line street music, the Honeydrops defy genres. Their style may not have a name, but one thing is certain: The California Honeydrops don't just play music; they throw parties.
Saturday, March 1: The incomparable Willy Porter will bring his inventive guitar-playing, passionate songwriting and entertaining stage-show back to Sisters. Porter continues to amaze with heavy guitar-driven instrumentals, heartfelt and insightful lyrics, and absolute humor in his loop-effect stories about the underbelly of society.
Tuesday, March 18: The return of Welsh singer-songwriter Martyn Joseph, a favorite of both the festival and the 2012 winter concerts. Considered a "courageous" live entertainer, Martyn follows in the tradition of social protest and commentary with intimate portrayals of the human condition. His songs reflect a 30-year career with 31 albums and thousands of live performances.
Saturday, March 29: To conclude the series, the festival will present a multi-media performance by the Celtic super-group, Solas. "Irish-America's most influential band," according to NPR, will perform as they celebrate the release of Shamrock City, their 11th album and most ambitious project and live show to date. It is a family story of immigration, mining and murder, and the remarkable history of Michael Conway and Butte, Montana.
Doors open at 6:30pm.

Register details DA's purchases from contested account
Delaine Fragnoli

Exactly how did Plumas County District Attorney Jeff Cunan spend the funds at the heart of the county's recent lawsuit against him?
Under the California Public Records Act, Feather Publishing obtained a copy of the check register for the contested account, which details, check-by-check, just how the money was used.

1Musters were office meetings or staff training
2Check register says, "bling … bling"
3Register notes four invoice numbers but not what was purchased; Cunan thought it was office furniture.
The lawsuit contends that the funds sat in a bank account, first at Placer Savings, then at Plumas Bank, when they should have been deposited into the county treasury.
County Administrative Officer Jack Ingstad has said Cunan had "no authority" to make expenditures with those funds and the Board of Supervisors would never have approved many of the purchases.
Cunan counters that the money was used for district attorney services in a way that saved taxpayers thousands of dollars.
The register shows Cunan spent $14,771.55 between 2003 and May 2010, when he closed the account and turned over the balance of $19,690.92 to the county treasury.
The register documents that Cunan spent the funds on a variety of miscellaneous items.
The single largest check was for $3,025 to Graeagle Meadows for bad check restitution. Cunan said the golf course and a number of other merchants were victims of bounced checks when the check writer went bankrupt.
The second largest expenditure was $2,049.50 for two Dell computers in 2006. Cunan said he saved money and got better computers by purchasing them quickly and directly.
He also paid $1,895 in 2008, for a paralegal training course at University of Nevada–Reno for one of his employees who, he said, was doing paralegal work but did not really have the necessary training.
The only other check for more than $1,000 was a 2009 payment to Forest Stationers for $1,441.87. The register does not note what the payment was for, but does include four invoice numbers.
Cunan, who said he no longer had a copy of the register because county officials had taken it, could not remember what the payment was for, but speculated it might have been for office furniture.
The register shows seven payments for "musters" and several more for "office training." Cunan said the "musters" were all-day staff trainings at local establishments. Venues included 20-Mile House, Café Le Coq, Greenhorn Ranch and La Sierra Lanes.
Sometimes Cunan would bring in outside presenters; other times staff members would share their areas of expertise with the rest of the staff.
Cunan said he saved thousands of dollars by keeping staff training in the county, and the effort helped local businesses.
Beginning in 2006, Cunan sponsored a Quincy Community Supper annually for between $162.66 and $283.02. He justified the expenditures as public relations efforts since "law enforcement had a bad name at the time."
He defended contributions to several local Sober Grad events as "crime prevention" that was "particularly important given the county's lack of alcohol and drug services."
Cunan also spent a total of $304.46 on hats and $100 on canvas bags for his office. He described the hats as baseball caps with the DA insignia for staff to wear in the field.
Perhaps the most ironic entry is a $195 payment for an ethics course.
Cunan continues to contend there was no mishandling of money. He points to an attorney general's opinion that the Board of Supervisors has no authority to dictate to a district attorney or sheriff how to spend his funds.
The 2006 opinion says: "In sum, the distinction to be drawn is between the power of a board of supervisors to appropriate county funds and the power of a sheriff or district attorney to manage the expenditure of the funds so appropriated."
Ingstad says that's true: Cunan has discretion — only after the supervisors have appropriated the funds.
Cunan also argues the bad check funds, by law, must go to the district attorney.
Ingstad said even if the funds are ultimately destined to go to the DA, they must still pass through the county treasury first.
Ingstad also pointed out there are no receipts for the purchases from the contested account.
Beyond the appropriateness of any particular purchase are the larger issues of accountability and oversight said Ingstad. The potential for abuse was there because the deposits and expenditures to the account existed outside of county appropriations and auditing procedures.

Or just wait one week until nrli.tv releases their event documentation. Hacknight #2 was inspiring over expectations. Way over a hundred innovative people from different backgrounds. This is what we call a "god forsk" (good research). Imagine having a common ground for underground-hackers inventors activists artists old-schoolers. This event was exactly that. One tight concentration of future in the minds of the attendants in the street of Industrigatan, Malmö. We had guests and speakers from Paris, Copenhagen, Bergen, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Lund, Svedala, Landskrona, Mantorp, Eslöv and others.
From the 80′s came a silver-dome "Time machine" which served as a social gaming ground for serious arcade pong players. Unfortunately one abc800 disk-drive killed itself with fire in the "Time machine" no animals were harmed. Business cards, floppydrives and knowledge were swapped.
Free food and tosti were distributed to hungry forsk'ers (scientists) and extreme amounts of "extreme cola" were ingested.

Based on the MrMerry one, just add some visuals and sort directory and files
Make sure that find does not touch anything other than regular files, and handles non-standard characters in filenames while passing to xargs.
needs no GNU tools, as far as I see it
I used this to copy all PDFs recursively to a selected dir
Best to put it in a file somewhere in your path. (I call the file spath)
IFS=:; find $PATH | grep $1
Usage: $ spath php
This command will find the biggest files recursively under a certain directory, no matter if they are too many. If you try the regular commands ("find -type f -exec ls -laSr {} +" or "find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -laSr") the sorting won't be correct because of command line arguments limit.
This command won't use command line arguments to sort the files and will display the sorted list correctly.
This does the following:
1 - Search recursively for files whose names match REGEX_A
2 - From this list exclude files whose names match REGEX_B
3 - Open this as a group in textmate (in the sidebar)
And now you can use Command+Shift+F to use textmate own find and replace on this particular group of files.
For advanced regex in the first expression you can use -regextype posix-egrep like this:
mate - `find * -type f -regextype posix-egrep -regex 'REGEX_A' | grep -v -E 'REGEX_B'`
Warning: this is not ment to open files or folders with space os special characters in the filename. If anyone knows a solution to that, tell me so I can fix the line.
This command uses the recursive glob and glob qualifiers from zsh. This will remove all the empty directories from the current directory down.
The **/* recurses down through all the files and directories
The glob qualifiers are added into the parenthesis. The / means only directories. The F means 'full' directories, and the ^ reverses that to mean non-full directories. For more info on these qualifiers see the zsh docs: http://zsh.dotsrc.org/Doc/Release/Expansion.html#SEC87
this will show the names of the deleted directories, and will delete directories that only no files, only empty directories.
Find Word docs by filename in the current directory, convert each of them to plain text using antiword (taking care of spaces in filenames), then grep for a search term in the particular file.
(Of course, it's better to save your data as plain text to make for easier grepping, but that's not always possible.)
Requires antiword. Or you can modify it to use catdoc instead.
By putting the "-not \( -name .svn -prune \)" in the very front of the "find" command, you eliminate the .svn directories in your find command itself. No need to grep them out.
You can even create an alias for this command:
alias svn_find="find . -not \( -name .svn -prune \)"
Now you can do things like
svn_find -mtime -3

Basically it still sucks and everyone still does drugs. For a while it was all about X maybe a little coke. It's going to suck in 20 years when their dopamine receptors fail and they're never happy again. And parents thought it'd be nice to stay in the area with their kids... Better luck moving to Richmond and getting beat up by black kids to build some fucking character. The principal is a racist who divides everyone for tests because he thinks they'll cheat. Why the fuck isn't he fired?
If you go to Cal High, you'll never be happy again!

Conservation of historic buildings and monuments
The historic environment is made up of the buildings, monuments, sites and landscapes that reflect our history.
If we did not have measures in place to protect and conserve the historic environment, important places would risk being changed and losing what makes them special, or being destroyed and lost forever.
We are responsible for protecting and conserving England's historic environment for the benefit of present and future generations, and for helping people access and enjoy these 'heritage assets'.
We look after the historic environment by:
- promoting the understanding, valuing, caring and enjoyment of the historic environment through funding English Heritage
- nominating places in the UK for World Heritage Site status
- protecting buildings of special architectural or historic interest by giving them listed status, which prevents them being demolished, extended or altered without permission
- protecting nationally important sites and monuments of archaeological or historic interest by giving them scheduled status, which protects them from being changed without permission
- protecting shipwreck sites of archaeological, historical or artistic importance by giving them protected wreck site status
- allowing charities and faith groups to claim grants equal to the VAT they pay on maintaining memorials and listed places of worship
- co-sponsoring the Churches Conservation Trust with the Church of England, which maintains over 340 churches of architectural, historical or archaeological importance.
- appointing the Chair of the Heritage Lottery Fund, which gives out grants of National Lottery money, and making sure it meets its funding agreements
Bills and legislation
The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 sets out the rules for listed buildings.
The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 sets out the rules for scheduled monuments.
The Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 sets out the rules for protected wreck sites.

I really enjoy Rubino Pro tires and the PBK prices are the best anywhere. Good puncture resistance in a reasonably supple tire. I was a little disappointed, however, to receive RP 2s rather than 3s. I believe the 2s were discontinued in 2011-2012. I doubt I will possibly notice the difference, but the web site needs to be at least accurate. While it does not explicitly say RP III, it does say 150 TPI, and the IIs are 120.

Awesome it's a new experience riding these tires I like the feel I'm a big guy and like the fact that I can go up to 145psi .my first ride I did 35miles and it was great.Thanks
20 April 2015 by longie
I've bought many tires from PBK and have decided that the VRPCRT are the best ones to date. Rarely a flat and good overall mileage from this tire. Also, gotta have colors on my wheels!
10 April 2015 by bikerfox
I've had good luck with the Rubinos as training tires. Very few punctures, solid performance. Sure, they aren't the lightest, but they get the job done and they were ridiculously cheap on probikekit.
2 March 2015 by AKC
These arrived timely and as ordered. My first order with PBK. Love the tires so far - compared to my favorite Panaracer Type D clinchers. Plus having them come in red/black matches my bike so score.
4 February 2015 by OakTony
I have had pretty good luck with the Kevlar belted version of this tire over the years...however....in recent years the quality or puncture resistance has seemed to diminished somewhat....can't beat the sale price...
30 January 2015 by CL
My favorite tires are Veterstein Tri-comps w/a Kevlar belt & bead...however...no one has them any longer in 650c...I Time Trial & it is a very durable performance tire that will hold extremely high tire pressures similar to tubular tires....
29 January 2015 by CL
Ridden these tires for two years. Only one flat when I hit a rock. Get good mileage also I avg about 3000 miles out of set
4 January 2015 by DAP
The Rubino Pro gives excellent value for the money. While not as light, nor as responsive as some of the more expensive tires such as Continental's Gran Prix 4000s, the Rubino Pro handles well, wears well and gives a surprisingly good quality ride. I do my winter training on harsh Arizona desert roads that eats tires. The rubino pro holds up to the rough stuff and has excellent puncture resistance. A great training tire.
31 December 2014 by trogon
These are my go to high mileage and training tire. Price is great and road feel and handling is well above average. I haven't found a better everyday tire option in 20 years.
4 December 2014 by bikeks
These are goid tyres,not expensive,long wear,and love the colors
28 November 2014 by warrior
These tires came on a new bike I purchased. Didn't know anything about them up to then. I found them to be a great tire. Long-lasting (2000 miles) and durable. They also roll very nice. I will continue to use due to price, roll, durablility.
13 November 2014 by Steve
I've been using these tires for years. I have tried many others but it's hard to beat these for rolling resistance and wear and tear. Excellent value for everyday road and racing.
6 October 2014 by ScottyCycles62
Great price, great puncture resistance, they last me a year! Not too many flats throughout the life, less than ive had with gatorskins!
3 October 2014 by Andrei
I'm an amateur cyclist - been riding for 5 years. While I can't claim to have tried anywhere near every tire available, I've found these to be the best among those I have tried. I have these tires installed on three of my four bikes (the fourth is a cyclocross). (1) They offer excellent flat resistance. I ride on roads that have plenty of 'road debris' (rocks, tree limbs, etc., - no glass) and I have yet to flat with these tires after more than 6,000 miles (multiple bikes - I note that one pair has about 2,500 miles and is getting very thin, so if it flatted tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised, but every other tire I've tried has flatted far sooner). For your comparison, I ride at 115/105 psi rear/front. The Vittoria Rubino's are rated at 145psi max, I believe. Another tire (can I state the brand and tire here? Serfas Seca RS) I just removed and replaced with a fresh set of Rubino's. The old tire has half the TPI, is rated at 130psi, and flatted on me not excessively, but still often enough to be an annoyance. Good-bye and good-riddance to them! (2) They offer better (less) rolling resistance than any other tire I've tried. Not enough to turn me into a lightning-fast racer, but it's noticeable. (3) I like the broad color stripe on the sides. A little bike-bling is a good thing, imho.
22 September 2014 by JohnnyCyclist
I've had excellent luck with Rubino Pros, regular and "slicks". Fairly light, long wearing, handle well. Current ones I'm running have the blue sidewalls, and they're going strong after well over 1200 miles (not a single flat, knock on carbon). No complaints with these tires at all!
22 July 2014 by Bill S.
This are the best tires for training. I'm bee using 700x25mm and love it.
30 June 2014 by Ruly
Solid performing, reasonably priced tire... a bit of traction on wet roads... a good choice for all but flat out racing.
30 January 2014 by Thor Buddox, Road Cyclist
These tires are fantastic. They have held up through 5,000 miles and not one flat from a puncture. The color options are awesome, and it's a great all around tire. I had a set that I used for racing and a set I used for training, you can't go wrong with a set of these tires. I highly recommend them.
6 January 2014 by Swordsal
This is an outstanding tire at a great price that offers cyclists durability, dependability and Italian tradition. While not the lightest clincher tire on the market, its few extra ounces make little difference when one considers the tire's overall performance and longevity. I have been especially impressed with the tire's cornering ability in all types of weather. A great buy. A great ride.
5 January 2014 by Gerry
Great tire at a great price. Tires came in the manufactures box and arrived in the state in about two weeks. Great buying experience and will by from again.
5 January 2014 by Avionics
I've been riding on these tires for many years. I've always found them to be very durable (puncture resistant) and with a low rolling resistance. They corner well at high speed and even on wet roads. If you are looking for the best "bang for the buck" go with the Rubino Pro's.
20 December 2013 by ScottyCycles
Solid training tires.
23 November 2013 by Kirk
Great tires, highly recommended, hardly any flats, biggest bang for your buck
15 November 2013 by andrei
The Vittoria Rubino Pro tires are good quailty and easy to change.
12 November 2013 by Joeban1
Excellent tires. Put 3000 miles on a previous set and not a single cut or nick on the tire. Back tire flattened across the middle but that is normal with all tires I have ridden (I weigh 230 lbs). Great tire if you ride on rough/chip and tar roads. Would recommend this tire to anyone that wants the security of knowing the tire is almost flat proof.
8 November 2013 by Rower
Have bought from probikekit before and have been very pleased. Will continue to buy.
4 November 2013 by jeffg
Good all round training tire, highly recommend for winter riding.
25 October 2013 by Alvin
Been riding either these or the Vredestein puncture resistant training tires for the past 10+ years. Vredestein are a bit more supple, but the Rubinos maybe flat once a year if at all. Just because the PSI says 145 max, there's no reason to inflate anywhere near that. I ride them at 100 and that is just fine. Can't go wrong for training on the Rubinos.
25 October 2013 by SmackDab
Ok I like the styling and they seem like good tires, I have had good luck with them in the past in terms of there durability. However, after only a couple of rides I blew one out with some glass on the road. Tore a hole so big that the tire was totally unusable. I wish there was some road debris protection at least for the first 90 days or something. Hard to say if any other tire would have faired better against the glass.
14 October 2013 by cbc
Although I have less than 100 miles on this (rear) tire, I like its road feel so far. I'm also impressed with the tire's solid construction. The tread appears to be substantial and the tire holds its pressure quite well. 4 Stars today; maybe 5 Stars after another 500 miles. Time will tell.
4 October 2013 by Gerrymander
After a struggle to get the tire on my rim because the sidewalls had flattened out due to the packaging it came in, I want to report that after a few rides I'm quite impressed with this product. Time will tell, but so far so good.
3 October 2013 by Gerrymander
Vittoria makes great tires; Rubino Pro is an excellent proof of that. I had been a cyclist for over 20 years. I ride from 300 to 500 miles per week. The tire that I use is Vittoria Rubino Pro Clincher Road Tyre. Its durability is above average. Its rolling resistance is minimum, so it is a fast tire. It also has great all weather grip. I had been sponsored by other brands and I had use so many more. the one that I buy I had used for so many years now and it is used on all my bikes is the Rubino Pro. It lasts long, rolls good; and is a training tyre that could be used to race. Just give it a try and enjoy the ride. PS. I no longer race and I have never and will never be sponsored by Vittoria. therefore you can trust what I say
24 September 2013 by JoeDee
I have been riding Rubinos for about 5 years and can honestly say I've had a lot of luck with them. great flat resistance, get a ton of miles (kilos!), and are very supple. Recommend these tires to high mileage riders.
20 September 2013 by Jeff
I just got these in the mail. I can't speak about how good the tires themselves are yet since I haven't put them on my bike yet. The product did come as described and were shipped in a timely manor.
5 August 2013 by slp3939
These Vittoria Rubino Pro Clincher Road Tyre are exactly what I was looking for, a durable, puncture resistant training tire. I have only ridden them for 10 hours or so, but I have no complaints so far. They are a little slower than some racing tires, but that is what you sacrifice to help avoid a flat tire.
5 July 2013 by Scott
Great product, fast shipping
26 June 2013 by Bee free
Rubino Pro tires are relatively inexpensive and they wear slowly. I had one tire get a sidewall cut, but other than that, I have never had a puncture. My current rear Rubino Pro tire has almost 4700k on it and is still going strong.

Mom T-Shirts
Moms have one of the greatest and most challenging jobs in the world. They often get the benefit of spending more time with their children than anyone else, but with that comes the huge responsibility of shepherding their hearts.
Moms have one of the greatest and most challenging jobs in the world. They often get the benefit of spending more time with their children than anyone else, but with that comes the huge responsibility of shepherding their hearts.
There are many parenting styles and things that the world says are important for moms to teach their children. But no matter what they say, we know the most important thing we can teach them: the love of God and our need for a Savior.
Childhood is such an important time to be teaching children about Christ and His unending love for us. Recent surveys have found that nearly two-thirds of born-again Christians made a decision for Christ by or before age 18. A lot of that time moms are the biggest influence on them. Take advantage of the time while you have it.
A great way to start creatively living out your faith in front of your children is to wear a T-shirt that will remind you and them of the Good News found in the scriptures.
We all have those days when everything is going crazy. That might be a good moment for our Faith, Hope, Love, and Chocolate T-shirt. Mom will be reminded that we are called to embody the Fruits of the Spirit, which includes patience, among others—but a little chocolate never hurt either.
Kids love music and especially dancing with Mom. Maybe our Dance, Sing, Praise, Live, Love T-shirt would be just the encouragement you need as a mom to get up and dance and sing to your favorite Christian music with your kids. Kids are like sponges, and you never know what they are going to pick up from the songs you are singing together; make sure it's something you want them to remember.
This well-designed T-shirt, while modest and carrying a biblical message, would most likely be an "approved Mom" T-shirt by even teens and tweens. But no promises—they can be finicky. Either way, you are sure to love the design and the Bible verse it is based on—Psalm 104:33: "I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live" (NIV). If that could be the legacy we leave with our children as moms, then the rest is bonus.
Some days are hard as moms. Sometimes moms need a little encouragement to keep going. For those days, our "So Glad I'm a Christian Mom" T-shirt brings a little reminder from Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (NKJV). That is such an important reminder, that we are called to be faithful but that God is the One who supplies the strength to carry on. God will give you what you need to be the mom He has called you to be.
So whether you want to encourage yourself in biblical motherhood or you want to encourage a wonderful mom in your life, Mom T-shirts from Kerusso are a great solution. Check out our whole line of T-shirts for women and bless a mom today.

My system if similar to one that was posted earlier. I sort into the following file structure (I'm a DOS throwback. I'll admit it.)
Scrapbooking Supplies (Commercial vs. Personal)
Company (Scrap Girls, etc.)
Artist (SNU_Syndee Knuckles, etc.)
Type of file (Alpha, Embellishment, Paper, or WordArt)
If something does not have a collection that it belongs with (Freebies or stand alone purchases), I do have an Alpha, Embellishment, Paper, and WordArt file under the artist. Occasionally, I have a Brush or Action folder as well.
From there, I use Picassa and Windows Explorer to search my stash. Typically, once I've found one element that I like, I stay with in the same collection.
Posted 24 June 2011 - 07:30 PM
I recently purchased several SS_Paper Templates, but have been rather intimidated by them. I checked out the University tutorials. I have been focused on blending modes up until now, but I think that I will try the coloring techniques and the filters in our next LO.

Posted 25 June 2011 - 09:16 AM
Spend a few minutes in your scrapping software learning how to do something new. You can use the ScrapGirls University, the ScrapGirls Newslettertutorials, your software manual or simply play around with your software.
Requirement: Briefly share what you've learned in this thread.
I finally spent the time to learn how to open and edit photos in camera raw in Adobe Bridge. Then learned how to take the adjusted picture directly into Photoshop. I know this may be elementary, but I just never bothered with it before.
Posted 25 June 2011 - 12:57 PM
I am on a Mac, so everythingis unzipped (rarely a file is not recognized, so I downloaded free Zipeg program, and on those few occasions, I use it.) The first thing I do is open Adobe Bridge and from my downloaded files assign keywords. It takes Bridge awhile to collect the data when it first opens, but after that I have no problem using keywords. Then I put the downloaded files into various categories Collections, Embellishments, Paper, etc. I still keep the originals in my download file and copy to my externals. I am so paranoid about losing files in a computer crash that I have 3 external hard drives that I also keep the files on (if there is the slightest chance that one of our humongous thunderstorms is possible,I always unplug.) Every once in a while I burn a disk of the latest folders and try to keep things backed up on DVDs.
(Whew, just telling it wore me out. Maybe I'm a bit OCD!)

My method is to download Collections by Desinger Initials. I have folders for SS Templates, Embellishment Templates, Alpha Templates, Styles, Actions, Shapes, etc. and file by Desinger initials under each category. I have to keep the folders fairly simple...if they go "too deep" they don't save. I have been doing it this way for two years and it seems to work well for me. Recently, after reading Angie Briggs' tutorial, I started using Windows Live Photo Gallery to view individual items in one place. I really like this.
Posted 26 June 2011 - 05:18 PM
The colors I chose are from a new, Huffy bike. It's a retro coaster, single speed bike in mint green, cream and chocolate brown (plus some silver and whitewall.) I never liked riding speed bikes with modern tires- LOL and saw this in the store and loved it, probably due to the colors.
