She is the hottest girl around and will always be there for you. She is amazing, gorgeous, funny, sweet, everything a guy could want in a girl. No other girl could ever compete with her, and she will always be someone's number one. She always makes your head turn as she passes you buy in the hall. She is like a magnet for your eyes. she is like a rainbow on a cloudy day, or a sun rise after a dark night. When she walks in a dark room she lights up the entire room just with her smile. when you see her you can not help but wish you had her in your arms. She has the most beautiful eyes you wish you could just sit and stare into them for hours on end. She has a beautiful body and anyone who doesn't have her is jealous of the guy that does. The guy that has her knows he is not good enough for her, for nobody is good enough for her she is an angel that fell from heaven and no normal guy, like anyone on this planet, can ever hope to have her. she is a goddess among humans. She is everything!!
That girl is so a Marissa!

Strangely true, but scientifically proven, marissas of the world are 92% hot, bangen and/or extremely fuckable. When seeing such a marissa, you will become sexually aroused and most likely get a full or partial erection..
Note: similar results as a medusa, except only part of you turns to stone. Look away if a marissa is near.

Marissa is a very pretty girl. In fact, she is hot. All marissas are. Marissas are easy to talk to and often times stay up to all hours of the night texting/instant messaging. Marissas are all very persistant and activley pursue anyone whom they like. Marissas can be best described by one word: Sexy. Marissas have a great body and a beautiful face. All Marissas are destined to someday be as hot, if not hotter than meagan fox. If a Marissa likes you take advantage of it as they are hard to come by and extremely hot.
"Whoa, that girl at her locker is so fucking hot."
"Oh thats Marissa. Shes way out of your league. Shes just too hot."
"Oh thats Marissa. Shes way out of your league. Shes just too hot."

Marissa is fucking hot

A girl who is likely to not only be great throughout the year, but also provide you with the perfect summer fling. Marissas are the type of girl that are genuine enough to stay up all night with you, doing something insane like eating Cheez-its. Then a Marissa is even nice enough to nap it off with you during the day. A Marissa typically has a smile that only a poem can do justice to, and the cutest giggle when she knows she hits the spot with a clever comment. Her personality can comfort you, everything from a nice hug to a long distance call, Marissas are typically the spunkiest girls around.
Do you know where Marissa is? I need a hug from her.

Questions & Answers
Hello bigtwins56, polyethylene fabric would be a great choice in material when opting to cover your AC unit. Polyethylene would work really well in protecting your unit from weathering. There is a two year warranty from the manufacturer on this product and your package would include all applicable warranty information. If you have any additional questions please feel free to let us know. Thank you for shopping with us!
My porch overlooks the neighbor's house...how well will this product screen the view? I want the illusion of privacy--not a blackout.
Hi indianaliz, this unit should provide adequate cover but persons can still be seen through it in at least silhouette form. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Is this product easily moved from one side of the pergola to the other to follow the sun . Or does it have special brackets?
Thank you for contacting us sansue1. Our Silver Series shades are non-valanced, cord operated shades. They include our long-lasting, polyethylene fabric that provides up to 88-percent UVA block.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Following up on the question below, how much does a 96" unit weigh. Like blue702, we cannot mount it on anything. Does it seem that multiple cable ties might work on the top to hold it up, even if we had to puncture the fabric a little bit to get it through?
Hello gored, The shipping weight is 5 pounds. Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on any type of modification to the products we sell. It may be possible but it will void the warranty. Thank you for shopping Overstock.com; have a great day!
Do these shades also block dirt, sand, etc.?
Hello greatsavings3, it's durable so can withstand the sand and dirt. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
It is sort of a mesh fabric so I'd say dirt and sand could get through if very windy.
Fabric is mesh so if its windy it could come through.
Do they hold out yhe rain,,,are they water proof?
Hi jeannemarei, this item is not waterproof but will be ok if wet. In fact to clean the item you simply rinse with water and scrub with a non-abrasive cleaner. Roll the shade down to air dry. We do recommend to roll it up in harsh wind and rain but it is ok to get wet. Thanks for shopping with us
its a mesh type fabric, little holes throughout so water could get through
No really, they dry quickly but I roll them up in wind and rain but its alright to get them wet . . that is how we clean them.
How much air flow do you get with this hade?
Hi staat1, we were able to verify with our support team. Unfortunately this item does not have an airflow rating but its not a blackout curtain so you will feel some type of wind. We just have no way of translating this in literal terms. We apologize for the inconvenience.
The air flow is great I really cannot tell a difference between when they are up or down plus it is cooler because of them blocking the sun :')
If the blinds cannot be cut, then exactly how wide is the blind listed as 80" to 99"? I need to fit an 86" opening.
Thank you for your question blueyes02. I apologize for the confusion. The only choices available are; 48 inches wide x 72 inches long. 72 inches wide x 72 inches long. 96 inches wide x 72 inches long. Have a great day.
How energy efficient are the blinds?
Thank you for your question mstdlg, the blind cuts up to 88% of UV rays. Thank you for shopping with us.
How is the shade raised and lowered? Does it come with a spring roller mechanism or is there a chain pull etc.? Thank you.
Hi tonymoco, this shade is raised and lowered with a pull cord. Thanks for shopping with us.
Can you see through this shade or does it block view to other side?
Thank you for your interest on the Keystone Fabrics Silver Series Energy-saving Shade. Yes, you can see through this shade.
I need blinds that will cover openings of 87". The size shows 80 to 99". How do I get 87? Would I have to cut? If so how hard is it?
Thanks for your interest, these cannot be cut width wise. The options that these blinds are available in are in the "options" drop down in the top right corner. I see this was listed in the "Features" section this is for search purposes, not specs for this specific product. Sorry for the confusion.
Does it have hooks at the button of the shade to secure it? Also is the Monterey grey, or is it more on the taupe side?
Thanks for your interest, unfortunately these do not come with any type of hooks for the bottom. The color for the Monterey oprtion are more on the taupe side.
Are these nice enough to be used inside? I like the wide width and grey color.
Thank you for your interest. They appear to be beautiful shades. There is no known reason they can't be used indoors if you so choose. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Does the blind come with the valace to hide the roll of fabric at the top as depicted in the picture with the man in it?
Thank you for your interest. No, the blind does not come with the valance, we apologize. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Is mounting hardware included?
Thank you for your question. Yes, all mounting hardware is included. The shade can be mounted to the ceiling or a wall.
Is this cuttable to a custom size? Would the cut edge need to be hemmed or heat sealed in some way? (I just need fabric no hardware)
Unfortunately we are unable to comment on any type of modification to the products we sell. It may be possible but it will void the warranty. I apologize but I am unable to comment any further on the matter.
Can the blind be opened only partially? So just roll down about a foot toblock direct sun in the eyes, etc
Thanks for your interest, yes this can be opened partially.
Is this product blackout or allows to filter the light. Thanks.
This is not a full blackout ,some light will filter.

Breast cancer surgeon Virgilo Sacchini talks about the importance of surgery and the team approach in personalizing care and inspiring confidence.
I am a surgeon who specializes in the treatment of breast cancer. For the past ten years, I have been involved as a co-investigator in clinical trials in Milan, Italy, to evaluate conservative surgery and sentinel-node mapping in breast cancer. In Italy, I served as Deputy Director of the Breast Department in the European Institute of Oncology, a leading institution for the study and treatment of breast cancer. I was also a clinical coordinator of the Italian Breast Cancer Chemoprevention Study of Tamoxifen and a clinical investigator in breast cancer trials for the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC).
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, I am an active clinical researcher for several studies including chemoprevention of breast cancer, prophylactic nipple-sparing mastectomy for high-risk breast cancer in women, and intraoperative radiation therapy for early-stage breast cancer. Additionally, I have published more than 160 research papers and book chapters about breast cancer.

Very high-quality cocaine, usually right off the key and uncut. Doesn't look like regular coke---it's flaky instead of grainy, it's sparkly instead of dull, and it's slightly yellow-grey instead of being plain white. Good shit, since 1 gram = ~12 lines. Numbs all the way down and gives you a case of the chills.
That fishscale we got last night was the bomb.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Use your favourite RSS aggregator to stay in touch with the latest commands. There are feeds mirroring the 3 Twitter streams as well as for virtually every other subset (users, tags, functions,…):
Subscribe to the feed for:
The dates in the output are Start Date, End Date, Days Remaining in warranty, respectively. This will only work if you are running it on a dell machine. You can substitute the dmidecode command with a service tag if you are not using a dell. Also, you have to either allow your user to run sudo dmidecode with no password or run this command as root.
Reads stdin, and outputs each line only once - without sorting ahead of time. This does use more memory than your system's sort utility.
This works by reading in two lines of input, turning each into a list of one-character matches that are sorted and compared.
This uses Text::Highlight to output the specified Perl file with syntax highlighting. A better alternative is my App::perlhl - find it on the CPAN: http://p3rl.org/App::perlhl
There are some environments that use this value for password and account expiration. It's helpful to be able to quickly determine the number of days since the Unix epoch (dse) when working directly with the configuration files as an administrator.
Nobody wants the boss to notice when you're slacking off. This will fill your shell with random data, parts of it highlighted. Note that 'highlight' is the Perl module App::highlight, not "a universal sourcecode to formatted text converter." You'll also need Term::ANSIColor.
The above one-liner could be run against all HTML files in a directory. It renames the HTML files based on the text contained in their title tag. This helped me in a situation where I had a directory containing thousands of HTML documents with meaningless filenames.
F[0] filters using first word. $F[1] - 2nd, and so on.
Not really better - just different ;)
There's probably a really simple solution out there somewhere...
If you are in an environment where you don't have the base64 executable or MIME tools available, this can be very handy for salvaging email attachments when the headers are mangled but the encoded document itself is intact.
Fun idea! This one adds seconds and keeps running on the same line. Perl's probably cheating though. :)
This command turns a multi-line file into a single line joined with <SOMETEXT>. To skip blank lines, use:
perl -pe '(eof()||s/^\s*$//)||s/\n/<SOMETEXT>/g' file.txt
I used this to mass install a lot of perl stuff. Threw it together because I was feeling *especially* lazy. The 'perl' and the 'module' can be replaced with whatever you like.
In this way it doesn't have problems with filenames with spaces.

Winter offers birding opportunities in the Central Valley
By water birds I mean those that are attracted to marshes, ponds, lakes, rivers and coastal areas. Winter is a good time to see water birds in Plumas County and nearby areas.
When attempting to identify water birds on Lake Almanor, Sierra Valley, the Quincy water treatment ponds or the ponds east of the La Porte Road it is useful to have a spotting scope with 20 to 60 times magnification. Some places provide a closer view of water birds such that they can be identified with birding binoculars that have only eight times magnification. One such place is Hansen's pond located at the north end of Quincy Junction Road just before the junction with Chandler Road. This winter I have seen hooded mergansers, ring-necked ducks, American wigeons, mallards, American white pelicans, tundra swans, great blue herons, great egrets, Canada geese and a greater white-fronted goose on or near this pond.
Recently I had a splendid afternoon birding in the Yolo Wildlife Area. I discovered that many water birds can be identified in this area using only birding binoculars. I will describe how to get there because the websites I checked are not clear on this point. Drive west on Interstate 80 from West Sacramento toward Davis. After you reach the causeway take Exit 78 to Road 32A, turn right at the T and then go under the highway and immediately turn left onto the levee to enter the wildlife area.
A six-mile-plus auto tour loop takes you around the wildlife area enabling you to use your car as a bird blind in that the birds stay close to the road as you drive slowly by. In addition there are walking trails.
The ponds were very shallow and I saw many shorebirds. There were large flocks of black-necked stilts that looked solid black when flying in one direction and then solid white when they turned in another direction. A flock of long-billed dowitchers in winter plumage were probing rhythmically through the water into the mud in a shallow pond. There were many killdeer and some greater yellowlegs foraging in the ponds. A whimbrel casually walked across a levee just in front of my Land Rover.
There were many dabbling ducks including northern shovelers, northern pintails, American wigeons, cinnamon teals, green-winged teals and mallards, which most of the time had their bottoms in the air. There was a small flock of tundra swans that were sleeping.
I saw wading birds including several great egrets, which are commonly seen along the roads of the Sacramento Valley, and a snowy egret. There were many gulls.
Several northern harriers were patrolling at low altitude and then diving into reed islands to catch prey. An American kestrel was hunting on the levees and a belted kingfisher was searching for food in the ponds.
On my return to Quincy, I visited the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area, which is to the west of Highway 99 near Gridley. This wildlife area differs from the Yolo Wildlife Area in that it has some deep ponds and many more bushes and trees, which attract some different types of bird species. It also has an auto tour area and several walking trials. A spotting scope is very useful when birding this area because some birds stay far away at the center of the deep ponds.
I saw many snow geese and a few greater white-fronted geese. I saw some of the same dabbling ducks I had seen at the Yolo Wildlife Area and also many gadwalls and some diving ducks, such as ring-necked, buffleheads and ruddy ducks, that prefer deep ponds.
The trees provided roosting places for turkey vultures and many hawks. Most were red-tailed hawks but I also saw a beautiful red-shouldered hawk.
Warblers are now returning to northern California and I saw several Audubon's yellow-rumped warblers in the trees and bushes in the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area. At Parking Lot 18 I found a rarer form of the yellow-rumped warbler — it was a first-winter male Myrtle yellow-rumped warbler that is more commonly seen in the eastern United States. A major difference between adult males in breeding plumage is that the Audubon has a bright yellow throat, whereas the Myrtle has a white throat. The first-winter male Myrtle yellow-rumped warbler that I saw was all white from the throat, along the chest and belly and under the tail with only a few black streaks on each side of the chest and at the end of the tail. I watched this bird for about 40 minutes flitting in flycatcher manner up in a tall tree and I was only able to clearly identify it when it flew down to a low bush and I saw it had a yellow rump.
My overall assessment is that the Yolo and Gray Lodge wildlife areas provide excellent opportunities for birding at this time. Their habitats are sufficiently different that they attract some different types of birds and thus are both worth visiting. Plan on staying a whole day when you visit either of these wildlife areas. You will have the opportunity to see many different water birds and also other types of birds such as hawks — you might even see an interesting warbler.

Revision as of 11:26, March 1, 2008
Sea Scout advancement is for youth members of a Sea Scout ship, and consists of Apprentice , Ordinary, Able, and Quartermaster. Since Sea Scouting is part of Venturing, youth members may also earn all Venturing advancement awards; they may also advance along the Boy Scout Eagle trail under certain conditions.
Contents |
Sea Scouting advancement
Sea Scouts may earn the Apprentice, Ordinary, Able and Quartermaster ranks. Criteria for these ranks can be found in the Sea Scout Manual.
Sea Scout advancements are approved by the ship's quarterdeck. In the case of the Quartermaster Award, the application is reviewed by the ship's committee with a member of the district advancement committee as chairman. Since the Quartermaster award is a Venturing recognition, it may be earned by any young man or young woman registered as a Venturer up to his or her 21st birthday.
Source: Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures, #33088B, revised 1999
Sea Scout ranks
The first rank of Apprentice shows basic marlinspike seamanship skills and water knowledge.
To earn Ordinary, the Sea Scout must know how to box a compass, must demonstrate leadership qualities, complete requirements relating to drill, sailing, and engines and complete a tenure of one year in Sea Scouting.
For the Able rank, the Sea Scout must demonstrate a complete knowledge of the water, earn the Lifesaving merit badge and must and be able to command fellow Sea Scouts.
The Quartermaster Award is the highest rank attainable by a Sea Scout can earn and is equivalent to Eagle Scout. The Sea Scout must attend at least two thirds of all ship meetings over eighteen months, demonstrate marlinspike seamanship and leadership skills, demonstrate the ability to teach Sea Scouting, complete a community service project and pass a council level board of review. The Quartermaster emblem is a medal consisting of the Sea Scout emblem on a ship's wheel that is suspended from a solid dark blue ribbon that is in turn suspended from a bar bearing the design of a double carrick bend knot.
Venturing advancement
Sea Scouts are eligible for all advancement in Venturing. They may earn five bronze awards, the Gold Award, and the Silver Award, the highest award in Venturing. The program also offers "Expert-level" awards: the Ranger Award, the Quest Award, and the TRUST Award, all of which are expansions and 'sequels' to a particular bronze award.
Boy Scouting advancement
Any male Venturer or Sea Scout who has achieved the First Class rank as a Boy Scouting in a troop or Varsity Scouting in a team may continue advancement toward the Star, Life, and [Eagle Scout ranks up to his 18th birthday.

Our Second Annual North Pole Party.
It took a little work. And yesterday, I snapped at Brett, had an attitude talk with Lainey after school, cleaned up messes and threw dirty dishes in places they shouldn't go fifteen minutes before the party.
But then the kids came and the rest was, truly, magic.
Last night's memories, preserved:
north pole party from ETST on Vimeo.
Songs: Sufjan Stevens Lo, How Arose 'Er Blooming, Judy Garland Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Chris Botti The First Noel
Thank you to our neighbor and dear friend, Nana Kate, who helped so much with the magic and mothering; and to my friend, Nici, for her help in getting Santa to call in.
Lots of North Pole Party details in last year's post, if you're interested in recreating.
Precious memories.

What an absolutely beautiful evening. I was in tears watching the video - you could truly feel the love! Now I just wish you weren't so far away from me b/c I'm fairly certain we need to be BFFs.
This is the first time I've commented on one of your blog posts, and I'm not sure why b/c I've been following you for over 2 years now. I continue to be blown away by you. You are an extraordinary woman, mother, wife, and friend. I look up to you and hope to be the same kind of person in the lives of my loved ones. Thank you for your continued inspiration and feel good stories.
Who knows, maybe I will be lucky enough to meet you one day. Until then I will continue to "Enjoy the Small Things".

I usually don't comment because I feel like it would just get lost in the hundreds of other comments posted...but I have to say...the second Judy Garland started singing, I had a Clark Griswold in the attic moment and felt like I was watching a home movie from long ago. Tears started flowing and never stopped. What a precious treasure you are to your children, Kelle.

Hi, I am a sophomore in high school and I am doing a project on special needs people because I feel when I grow up I want to teach special needs children. So I was wondering... What would I have to learn to help someone with special needs?

Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
31 posts
• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Upgrades 105 to UltegraHi,
I have a dilemma – I have a 2009 Cannondale Synapse which I am very happy with – it's equipped with predominantly Shimano 105 5600 (apart from an FSA Gossamer crank and Tektro brakes – in which I'm running Koolstops). I have put RS80 wheels on. I like the frame and there isn't anything on the market that would be desperate to change to so N+1 isn't an option. I'm also not interested in waiting for Ultegra 11 speed as I'd like to maintain compatibility with my wifes bike. Now my problem isn't anything to do with function – everything works just fine. It's a bit about the bling factor! I would like to change the brakes to something more substantial – I have no complaints about the current stopping power but I feel there is more to be had. I'd also like to move to shifters with under the bar tape cables. I am contemplating 3 scenarios: 1, buy 105 - 5700 brakes and shifters. ($296) – this option would fulfil all my requirements except bling factor! 2, buy Ultegra 6700 brakes and shifters ($429) – this option is my preferred one, except for only an extra $335 I could get an Ultegra crank, BB, cassette, chain and front and rear derailleurs by buying the whole groupset – seems like a bit of a bargain. 3, buy a whole Ultegra 6700 groupset ($764) – see notes on option 2 for reasons. 4, a combination of the above – i.e. 5700 shifters with 6700 brakes. I'm no racer – not really interested in power meters or anything like that – this isn't really about going faster. I do like nice stuff though! Any thoughts?
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegrai upgraded my long reach tektro to long reach shimano ultgra's, the stopping power increase was incredible.
Shimano R650 Dual Pivot Brake Caliper Where i used to try and stop on a descent i always felt as if the tektro were at the limit of there stopping power, once i changed to the shimano, i almost put myself over the bars on the same descent, the shimanos also have greater modulation and feedback, it was an upgrade that made a huge difference in confidence on the bike i was using the same koolstop salmon pads if nothing else upgrade the brakes to ultegra, you wont regret it at all Boardman CX pro now the commuter, Salsa Casseroll, Trek Domane
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegramixed groupsets make you look like even more of a cheapskate => less bling
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraOption 1. A favourite 2009 bike is worthy of an upgrade but not spending too much on.
The rest of the bike is fine bike is fine and you'd still have all 105 (except cranks, Cannondale always seem to use FSA) and you get the brake upgrade you are after. If I was buying a full current Ultegra grouppo I build up a new bike. Here's my blog - A bit of fun
"Riding not racing...."
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraUpgrade the groupset to full Ultegra and enjoy. I did it to my bike over time as and when I could. Brakes are better, shifting action is fractionally different, but I wanted ultegra so I bought it.
As for the frame being old, keep the old groupset and put it on it when/if you ever decide to sell and just buy the new frame you want (there's a De Rosa Merak frame calling out to me at the moment!)
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraFriend of mine has built up a similar vintage Synapse frame over time with some blingy parts and it is a very cool bike now. He found a bunch of stuff cheap, eg. Dura Ace 7800 groupset, carbon FSA cranks, Selle SMP saddle, Open Pro's on DT Swiss hubs, new 3T forks/bars/stem/seatpost, some nice anodized bolts and bottle cages etc.. All up the bike has cost him $1200 ish but it looks a million bucks. Why limit yourself to just fresh 105. You got a good base for a cool bike.
Litespeed Tuscany Ti, Trek Superfly AL 29er, Trek 8000 rigid MTB
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraI'd ditch the FSA cranks. If you ride in the wet at all, their bottom brackets self-destruct due to the abysmal seal design.
Unfortunately, while nominally 24mm, the spindles are a few hundredths of a mm too big to fit in other brand 24mm BBs (eg, Shimano).
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraWhere can you get a complete ultegra group for $760?
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraIf you love the frame, then by all means upgrade the groupset - all or part is up to you and your budget.
Don't overlook the fact that there are some bargains to be had on Ebay also. cheers
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraI just picked up this Ultegra 6700 Chainset off Merlin to upgrade my Shimano cranks for $170 shipped including bottom bracket. My whole groupo is 105 except the cranks which are some super basic Shimano cranks. Next on the list are brakes.

Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraIf you want something a little different, checkout Microshift. I've been going to import them officially for some years and began two weeks ago:

Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraBut don't these have the cables sticking out the side like the 5600 era shifters ?
I thought that this was one of the reasons the OP wanted to change ? May suit some bikes, but the colour highlights don't float my boat. Reports on WW is that they are not bad, esp given the price.
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
They are good period, the price is the kicker. The cables are extenal, initally this was a concern and it was holding me back however I've since gotten over it. For the weight, performance and appearance nothing comes close in terms of value for money. They come with black cables included which you can barely see. Add to this external cables shift smoother and with less effort, they can also be replaced without re-taping your bars. Internal or external cables, I'm past caring. They have a more plain looking carbon version called the Arsis which maybe more to your liking? I've got some more of the Arsis ones comming in a few weeks, the first lot sold out before we even got them onto our website. They are only a little more expensive than the WHITE model. The WHITE model also comes in plain white if you don't want the highlights. I LOVE the coloured highlights, they create a really nice opportunity to personalise your build. Here is a pic: This is a bike we built up a week or so ago, it came up so nice and right on 6.9kg with Ultegra 6700 crank & brakes and an alloy Bracciano wheelset.

Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
The sticky-outy cabled shifters actually perform quite a bit better than the hidden cabled models. Just something to consider. I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegrayeah I know.....but the hidden ones look so much nicer! (seriously though I don't suppose it could be that much worse or the pro peloton would all be rocking the old style shifters eh?)
Re: Upgrades 105 to UltegraStory told by one of the Shimano people when the 7900 Dura Ace came out a few years ago.... When it was being developed hidden cabling was a rider-demanded feature. The techs warned them that it wouldn't be as nice as the 7800 series. Then once development models were being supplied to sponsored teams, and later once the production version was available, feedback was "it doesn't shift as well", to which Shimano allegedly said, "well we told you so, but you told us to make it!"
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
If you ride a bike with Dura-ace 7800 and 7900 you'd understand that the 7800 has smoother shifting with less lever pressure required. Not to say the 7900 doesn't work well. Just a case of appearance over function The appearance difference is nothing, I thought it was an issue but after one ride its forgotten. Plus the use of black cables limits their visability a lot whereas the old "grey" shimano ones were more visable. There is Pro teams riding Microshift, with external cables. 5-hour Energy in USA are on it, Francisco Mancebo had a 2nd place in Tour of California riding Microshift two weeks ago "worthy" of "pro's" if thats what you want to base your purchasing decisions on.

Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
Aesthetics aside, and they are subjective, I agree with this. The shifting on my 10 yo 9-spTiagra equiped roadie is sharper, smoother than on my 2 yo 105 equiped CAADX. Current Tiagra is (functionally) very nice, and probably has some functional design flow-down from 7800 DA by now as well..... ? Microshift could be better looking I guess, but functionally they seem pretty good by all reports. Here's my blog - A bit of fun
"Riding not racing...."
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegrayou could always go ultegra DI2 that way there is no sicking out cable
Boardman CX pro now the commuter, Salsa Casseroll, Trek Domane
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
True that, no cables gear cables to replace either. Just batteries and electronics to deal with. Not exactly in the same price bracket though and the Ultegra Di2 isn't exactly light weight in comparison. Our Website is: http://www.pro-liteoz.com Find us on Facebook by searching for "Pro-Lite Australia"
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
Current Tiagra shifters are to a large structural extent actually 7800 DA! I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
That and the ease to replace a cable is why I built up my current bike with my ol trusty 5600 shifters on a 6700 groupset. Hidden cable looks the goods though, but glad i'm not the only one who notices the shifting difference.
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegramicroshift: that was a massive thread de-rail, but that stuff looks really nice especially for the price. For my commuter, hidden cables are a must to avoid shadows in my headlights, but on a race bike i would happily run them.
Re: Upgrades 105 to Ultegra
...and I hear the shifting action is pretty light too

The Causes of Candida
Candida can be caused by a variety of factors. Most often, a diet high in simple sugars, overuse of antibiotics and a weakened immune system are the culprits. Oral contraceptives, hormone replacements and corticosteroids can also upset the balance of healthy gut bacteria, which may help candida to grow.*
Natural Solutions for Candida -- The Whole Body Approach
The good news is, candida can be combated with natural solutions. A whole body approach, including diet, lifestyle and supplements, can help you retain a healthy balance.*
Cleanse your system
First you must detox your system of the toxic byproducts of candida. Drinking wheatgrass juice, flushing your system with plenty of water, fasting, sweating or doing a colon cleanse can help.*
Other support:
Biotin is an essential nutrient often deficient in candida sufferers. It may help interrupt the cycle of candida growth.*
Get on a regular regimen of probiotics
Probiotics are the healthy gut flora that can keep candida in check. Good quality formulas contain strains of acidophilus and bifidus.*
Change your diet
Fighting candida takes a long-term approach. Falling back into the same dietary habits will not solve your candida issue over the long run. In general, once you have resolved your candida issues, it is a good idea to limit or avoid foods including sugar in all its forms, yeast products-including bread, beer and wine-fruits and juices, dairy products, fast foods, condiments, leftover foods that may have mold, processed meats and fermented products. The best foods to eat are low-carbohydrate vegetables (not high carbohydrate ones such as potatoes, corn and carrots), lean proteins and limited amounts of whole grains.
With the right combination of supplements, diet and lifestyle choices, you can support and maintain a healthy balance friendly flora in your body, which can strengthen your immune system and help you maintain good health.*
Candida Free is designed for maximum impact on the yeast Candida albicans. Yeast overgrowth can occur following a course of antibiotics or from poor dietary habits that upset the balance of healthy intestinal flora. Left unchecked, it can affect a wide variety of body systems.
Candida Free contains pau d'arco (a bark from a tropical Brazilian tree), oregano oil from wild oregano, black walnut, caprylic acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid from plant oils) and biotin (a B-complex vitamin). These synergistic ingredients help support a healthy balance of intestinal flora.*

Regions :: Western Europe :: Belgium EPCA 2012: Petchem demand shifts east as capacity heads west11:12 AM MDT | October 8, 2012 | Ian Young in Budapest The geographic balance of demand in the global petrochemical market will continue to shift from Western Europe and North America to fast-growing economies in Asia/Pacific and particularly China, for the rest of this decade, says Mark Eramo, v.p. at IHS Chemical. Speaking at the IHS Chemical Market Seminar, held today on the occasion of the 46th European Petrochemical Association (EPCA) annual meeting, currently taking place in Budapest, Eramo said that the eastward shift in demand would be accompanied by an equally significant shift in the global capacity profile...

This Mason NK12X12 vibration isolation pad is a multi-layered acoustical pad for reducing high frequency noise and minor vibration from lightweight machines. On each side is a neoprene pad for oil resistance and to provide a non-skid surface, with no bolting necessary. The waffle pattern forms a self-sealing perimeter to protect the material from oil or fluid. The cork center provides differing densities so that sound waves moving through the pad will change velocity, resulting in a power loss. The pad is 12 x 12 x 1 inches/300 x 300 x 25 mm (W x L x T) and has a maximum load capacity of 50 pounds per square inch (psi). (W is the horizontal distance from left to right, L is the horizontal distance from front to back, T is the thickness from top to bottom.) These Mason acoustical pads are suitable for use with small compressors, pumps, drill presses, and generators.
Shock and vibration control products (absorbers, mounts, and pads) reduce air and structure-borne dissonance by either blocking or absorbing sound waves, or damping or isolating vibrations that cause them. Shock absorbers, vibration damping mounts, and vibration damping pads can extend equipment life and help protect work environments, and they are most commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems or in other large machinery operations. Weight distribution determines the number of mounts or pads needed. If evenly distributed, the maximum load capacity per mount or pad should equal the total weight of the machine divided by the number of mounting points available.
Mason Industries manufactures noise reduction, vibration isolation, and seismic restraint control products such as mountings, hangers, and flexible connectors for mechanical equipment. The company, founded in 1958, is headquartered in Hauppauge, NY.
