John DiStaso's Granite Status: Forbes to return to NH on March 15
As we reported, she included $80 million in revenue anticipated from the licensing of one "high-end, highly regulated casino."
Hassan said, "With Massachusetts already moving forward, we can no longer pretend that expanding gambling isn't coming to our communities. It is."
She said the revenue from licensing a casino would fund "our most pressing priorities, especially higher education and mental health."
For her plan to work, the Legislature must pass a separate bill authorizing gambling. More below about that bill, which is expected to pass the state Senate but faces an uncertain fate in the House.
See State House reporter Garry Rayno's full report elsewhere on UnionLeader.com. Our earlier exclusive report and the full Feb. 14 Granite Status follow.
The revenue is dependent on separate passage of a gambling bill that would send the licensing money to higher education and North Country economic development. Full gambling proceeds would not be available until a casino is up and running much later.
The main gambling bill, Senate Bill 152, is scheduled for a hearing before the Senate Ways and Means Committee Tuesday.
Whether Hassan makes a pointed call for gambling or whether she issues a strong expression of support is unclear, but no matter.
Either way, her overall message will be clear.
And it won't be a huge surprise since she has repeatedly said she could support a single casino in the southern part of the state ever since she campaigned for governor.
But in making it official, the freshman chief executive will formally part ways with her predecessor, fellow Democrat John Lynch, who had opposed expanded gambling throughout his four terms.
A poll this week by UNH for WMUR indicated that 66 percent of Granite Staters support legalizing gambling if it means income and sales taxes are off the table, while 29 percent would still oppose it.
And without the proviso on broad-based taxes, 62 percent favored expanded gambling, while 32 percent opposed it.
The poll showed support has grown from 49 percent in November 2009.
Anxiously waiting in the wings are entities that would bid for the single license available under Senate Bill 152, including of course, the folks at Salem's Rockingham Park and partner Millennium Gaming. The bill also sets up a commission to consider future additional gambling sites.
Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, the sponsor of SB 152, said Wednesday he did not know for certain if gambling revenue will be included in the governor's budget plan, but he said, "You can't build a budget for 2014 and 2015 without it."
D'Allesandro's bill targets licensing fee revenue for a casino for higher education and North Country economic development.
If a casino can actually get up and running before the end of the next budget cycle, on June 30, 2015, additional revenue it generates would, under the bill, be directed to infrastructure - specifically, roads and bridges.
Will it actually happen this year? The poll says yes, the governor says yes and the state Senate is expected to say yes.
What will the House say?
That's the $80 million (and possibly much more) question.
State Republican Party Chairman Jennifer Horn said that without a gambling bill passed, "to build a budget around these revenues would be extremely irresponsible." But she said Republicans are "ready to work with" the governor.
NOT SO FAST, SENATOR. D'Allesandro, the Manchester Democrat who is vice chairman of the influential Senate Ways and Means Committee, is skeptical of Republican Senate President Peter Bragdon's plan to eliminate ramp tolls on three entrances and exits on the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Merrimack.
D'Allesandro said he is "keeping an open mind" and has not yet decided whether to support Bragdon's Senate Bill 3.
He needs "more numbers" from the Department of Transportation on what the loss of revenue would mean to the overall turnpike system.
D'Allesandro said Bragdon "makes a lot of sense in that there are three tolls" in Merrimack, but, "Remember, it's a toll road, and in order for it to work and make improvements on the toll road, you got to have receipts."
While Bragdon pointed out D'Allesandro's home city commuters can exit and enter the turnpike free of charge at their interchanges, D'Allesandro says Manchester was "extremely limited" in the number of exits from and entrances to the turnpike for many years.
"The largest city in the state finally got some relief in recent years," D'Allesandro said. "For many years at the Granite Street Bridge, you could only get off and you had to go to the Amoskeag Bridge to get on."
"You have to look at economic feasibility and if it's feasible to eliminate one of those tolls, let's do it," he said.
"I'm very open to the discussion."
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. Former House Speaker Bill O'Brien says he's actually enjoying being a "back bencher" in the House, where he can speak his mind even more openly than he did as speaker.
He's also doing nothing to squelch speculation that he's looking ahead to a U.S. House run against embattled Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster.
A possible O'Brien congressional run was the subject of a story last week in the National Journal's Hotline On Call.
Also considering running, as we reported a week ago, is fellow Republican former state Sen. Gary Lambert of Nashua.
O'Brien this week blasted teacher unions on his Facebook page, saying they are "the one fundamental reason" that "government schools are failing in New Hampshire and throughout the country."
He told us "a lot of folks have come up to me and seem to be fairly supportive" of a congressional run. "But we'll see.
"At this point I'm really trying to concentrate on my state representative responsibilities," he said.
He said his beloved right-to-work legislation, which failed again Wednesday in the House, will pass "some day."
He said he realizes Kuster is a formidable fund-raiser and that if he is to mount a serious challenge, he must get going "sooner rather than later.
"I do know there does need to be more fiscally responsible votes in Washington," he said.
HER FIRST PLEA SINCE... Kuster emailed supporters asking for fund-raising help Wednesday, her first plea since she apologized for making six consecutive late property tax payments over the past three years on her home in Hopkinton and missing two payments on a home in Jackson.
She uses O'Brien as an impetus to raise money, writing that "not even a full month in, there is already talk of an extremist opponent, Bill O'Brien, jumping in to run against me."
She asks for funds or for supporters to join "Annie Angels," who, she wrote, give to her reelection campaign on a monthly basis.
The state GOP late Wednesday sent out its own fund-raising email focusing on Kuster's tax controversy.
"We need your help to make sure that Annie Kuster's hypocritical 'taxes for thee but not for me' policies are defeated," the party wrote.
FERGUS AT THE MONDAY MEETING. Former state GOP Chairman Fergus Cullen Wednesday confirmed he attended this week's New York City gathering of The Monday Meeting, a group of high-dollar conservative donors who meet monthly on an off-the-record basis.
Cullen recently announced the formation of the Americans By Choice, a bipartisan nonprofit advocacy group promoting immigration reform from what Cullen has called "a center-right" perspective.
After the Granite Status obtained an email to Monday Meeting participants saying Cullen was making his "Monday Meeting debut," he confirmed that he was among several speakers.
"Bigger names," he said, included Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson, R-N.Y., conservative columnist John Fund and author Amity Shlaes.
Cullen said he was in the big city for "a series of fund-raising and other meetings as we build support for Americans By Choice."
He said, "I had to be sharp to win people over."
Cullen, an accomplished distance runner, said he "also got to go for a run in Central Park, which I'd never done before, so that was a bonus. At least as good as a Broadway show in my book!"
THE THURSDAY MEETING. It's been a week since the RightOn Strategies conservative consulting group hosted a private meeting of more than 130 state Republicans at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics.
The results of a New England College poll on the 2014 U.S. Senate race showed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen only slightly ahead of a generic Republican candidate, 49 to 43 percent, which Republicans say shows potential vulnerability, albeit very early.
Beyond that, we've learned the poll showed Hassan ahead of a generic Republican challenger by 8 percentage points, 49 to 41 percent.
And, regarding the state Legislature, those questioned preferred Republican control over Democratic control, 49 to 42 percent.
While critics will undoubtedly say the poll was completed for a Republican group, it's also true the NEC is not exactly a right-wing polling outfit.
They're the same pollsters who recently showed 72 percent of Granite Staters supported a ban on "assault weapons," a term that was not defined in the poll.
The new poll gauged support for "semi-automatic firearms" in "protecting your family," and 44 percent were in support while 47 percent were opposed.
The poll also found 60 percent viewed themselves as "pro-choice" and 32 percent, "pro-life."
But when asked their thoughts on whether an abortion should be performed at the point where an "unborn child" could "feel pain," 41 percent opposed abortion and 37 percent supported it.
HOLLY'S NEW POST. Holly Shulman, the former spokesman for the Obama campaign in New Hampshire and previously for the state Democratic Party, has landed a federal job.
After working for the Obama inaugural committee, Shulman is now an international affairs spokesman at the U.S. Treasury Department.
COME ON UP! State Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley issued a sarcastic invitation to Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to include a stop in New Hampshire on his book tour. According to Buckley, Cuccinelli is releasing a new book "The Last Line of Defense" that has been described as a "tea party manifesto" and "is a clear first step in his run for the Republican nomination in 2016."
"We sincerely hope that Attorney General Cuccinelli honors New Hampshire with a reading of his new book ahead of the first-in-the-nation primary here in the Granite State," Buckley wrote.
"Ken Cuccinelli's opinion that Social Security and Medicare are 'goodies' that make recipients 'dependent on government' would certainly be enlightening to the many voters he will have to win over during his long quest for the presidency. We think this is such an important thing for New Hampshire voters that we will pay for the attorney aeneral's travel up here for the reading."

Orange Knees
Also found in:
♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Over The Knee ♠ Stripes ♠ Halloween ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Knee Highs
Over-the-knee stripes in shades of cheery orange. These stay up nicely on most, but some people prefer to use sock garters with them. Made in the USA.
Medium size range: 9-11 fits about shoe size 6-10.5. Larger feet may fit into these, but will likely wear through the toes and heels sooner.
Length about 22 inches from heel to tops, unstretched, and will likely be OTK on smaller legs and knee high on larger legs. Width is 19-20 inches at the tops but only 17-18 on the calves.
These tend to be loose on thinner feet and ankles, but they're great for wider feet!
These are made on antique machines, so the manufacturing process sometimes causes the feet on these styles to twist so that it looks like the toe seam is on the side of the sock. If you have problems with keeping the toe seam and heel aligned properly, we recommend that you try washing them because, once you do, we find that the fibers relax and they're much easier to straighten out.
Additional Info: We also have Knees in Pink, Green, Purple, White, Brown, Blue, and a longer version.
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 20% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
Hello, I was just wondering how long it would take for the socks to arrive. I want them for Halloween so I wanted to know if I ordered them today if I would get them by thursday :) Let me know! Thanks!
When will you guys be able to restock the kelly colored?
Hi I need the Kelly Green and Orange as tights, not knee highs. and I've seen from previous socks that i'm not the only one searching for them. The socks are important for Trickster Jake English cosplay
Hey, is there any chance you might have seen purple and orange as a mix? I really like the bubblegum and orange, but the pink is too light for the part I am dressing up as.
I have never had a better experience with online shopping than I have with your company. I placed my second order about 45 minutes ago, and it's already been shipped. You guys are amazing. Thank you for existing.

Good but can be better -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsGreat compression running shorts, one problem I have is the thick seam in the middle. It forced me to wear another layer. Hopefully, CEP will improve a newer version of the shorts without this thick seam, then i am happy to purchase another pair from you! Overall love the product.
By Laurie
Excellent product! -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsLast year as I was training for my first marathon, I experienced nagging hamstring and groin injuries. After researching online, I decided to give CEP a try. When I first got them, I thought how will I ever get them on, how can I breathe wearing these shorts? But I soon learned that they are so comfortable and you don't even notice its support. I was able to finish my first marathon not only because of my training, but also because of my running shorts. Don't get me wrong, the CEP shorts did not miraculously cure my injuries, but it helped to minimize my pain and allowed me to continue my training regimen to be ready for race day. I run with these shorts on every run, even if it's a short one. And I am now training for my second marathon! Thank you CEP!
By Charles
Size Matters -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsThe compression men short should be sized differently. I am a large, waist size 35 and I purchased a large size. The Item I received is too tight, it is more like a Medium I gave to a friend who is a waist size 32 and it fits him well. Construction is very good and quality is also good but sizing should be reviewed
By harry
Great Compression Wear - However Fits Tight -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsI do love the compression points on these shorts, they rival any of the higher quality brands on the market place. My only issue is they seem to fit a bit more snug and do provide a challenge in putting them on. However, once running the snug feeling is not an issue giving a lot of support to the big muscle groups in the upper leg and butt.
By Bruce
My Go-To Running Shorts -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsI was referred to get compression shorts because I kept pulling my hamstring. I searched online and CEP seemed to be the best I read about for my needs. Bought a pair and have been pleasantly surprised at how well they work for me. I have not had any problems since I bought them a few months ago. I am logging in more miles and increasing my speed. Best investment so far for me! Thanks CEP.
By Patrick
Injury Free for the First Time -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsI used to be constantly pulling my quad muscle. Every time I would start to train for a marathon, I'd end up sidelined for days or a week at a time. Started wearing these shorts at the start of my latest training cycle and haven't had a single issue since. And was able to cut 7 minutes off my half marathon PR! Couldn't be happier with these shorts.
By Tim
Great Compression for Marathon Racing and Training -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsI made the switch to these compression shorts from bog standard under armor ones about midway through my training plan for the 2013 Edinburgh marathon. At the time, I was struggling with some nagging IT band issues and wasn't able to train at 100%. I am convinced that the combination of these shorts and an expanded stretching and foam rolling program helped to eliminate my issues and kept them from coming back for the rest of my plan. I think that they helped me to a sub 2:45 race in very hot conditions on the day, too. The CEP compression shorts provide serious muscle and IT band support for running. It is crucial to get the correct size, but once that is sorted, they are fantastic.
By Jorge
Miracle Shorts -
Comments about Dynamic+ Run ShortsI just ran the Atlanta Half Marathon, I bought the shorts as I had pulled a muscle earlier and looked for a miracle short to keep my injury ok and let me run. Found it. BIG FAN NOW.

Seriously, there are lots of folks here who are over 55. No worries!
Also...I get people P.O.ed all the time. I don't mean to, but it happens. And eventually they either forgive me, or they ignore me. However, I'm working on just relaxing, being more accepting of other peoples' opinions, etc. After all, this is supposed to be part of the fun of the PRS experience. If someone disagrees with you, let it go.
And re: another thing you mentioned -- of course we sound like ourselves regardless of what we play -- in one sense. This is one of the great things about being a string player -- you are manipulating the sound-making apparatus with your fingers. On other instruments - a piano is a good example - though you can vary touch, etc., you don't have the opportunity to have as direct an influence on the outcome of the tone as you do with a guitar.
So with a guitar, there is a feedback loop between your fingers, your instrument/amp, your ears, your brain, and back to your hands. You are adjusting the tones to produce sounds you want to hear, as you play, even in the middle of a note, and you're doing it on the fly. Then listening, and making more adjustments. No wonder we sound like ourselves.
Then, too, the physical makeup of your hands, ears, etc., influence what tones you can make.
The question is, can we come a little closer to how we WANT to sound, and can PRS gear help us achieve that? Can we have an easier time producing the tones in our personal feedback loop? I think the answer is "yes." I just had a friend over on Friday (a very good player) who told me I've never sounded better, and that he was digging my tone more than ever. So clearly something is happening. In my case, I believe that's because I'm not fighting the gear to make my sound happen, it's just plain easier for me when I play my PRS gear.
So I sound like me. But I sound like a better-sounding me. With PRS gear, I'm me on a very good day. And that is a priceless commodity!
I think if you stick around, you will also see that the Forum is a positive feedback loop. No need to be angry with people who disagree or even make a nasty comment. It's just part of the deal.
Anyway, it seems like you're staying, and that's a good thing.

A christian that chooses what they believe is true in the bible instead of casting it off as a lie altogether or being obedient and believing it all.
Well he believes that Jesus died to save us but he thinks it's okay to eat lobster and slavery is wrong. He's a pick and choose Christian.

Helping veterans achieve the "American Dream. "
That's what Rancho Cucamonga-based HomeStrong USA aims to do with its "HomeStrong Homes for Heroes" program.
When Air Force veteran Veronica Eldredge walked into the home in Thermal on Friday that she was planning on purchasing, she was bewildered at the number of people inside.
"Veronica, for everything you do for other veterans as well as your service to this great nation, the amount you owe on your home has been changed," HomeStrong USA CEO Jed Davis said. "You now owe zero dollars and the home is already yours. "
Trying to hold back tears, Eldredge told her story.
"I couldn't afford to live where I was at," she said. "I firmly believe that God placed HomeStrong USA in my life. "
HomeStrong USA teams with Bank of America to assist veterans and active duty military service members in purchasing homes.
The company didn't always have the program.
"We first got into this when giving a seminar about financial management and was approached by a veteran with a great question," Davis said. "He asked, what kind of programs do you have for me? "
At that time, Davis said, HomeStrong didn't have any programs for veterans. The company, established in 1998, has since come up with this program geared for aiding veterans. It was launched in February.
Eldredge, who received the keys Friday, said she had fallen on hard times and battling health problems. The owner of the home she was renting lost the house due to the eminent domain process.
"Too many veterans are experiencing hardships, and we are committed to providing veterans for their sacrifices," Davis said. "We will never fully be able to repay them for their sacrifices, but we will strive to offer them a piece of the American Dream that they helped secure. "
Davis said 60 properties throughout the state have been donated by Bank of America.
"We go in and completely refurbish them and sell them to active duty military service members and veterans at a significant discount," he said. "We are a Housing and Urban Development-approved counseling organization that provides financial education and counseling so that our customers can eventually own property they will call home. "
Eldredge's Riverside County home is the third the company has given to a veteran. The first was in Hesperia and a second in Yucca Valley. Several homes have also been sold to veterans at 20 percent to 50 percent below market value.
Davis said he hopes to be able to help at least 100 veterans this year alone. He also said each case is looked at on its own merits to determine how to help.
Bank of America donates the properties for the program using bank-owned lots that have been abandoned or lost through the foreclosure process.
"It's been our intent to support the veteran community in every way," said Bank of America's Inland Empire market president Al Arguello. "We consider HomeStrong USA our partner in giving back to those who have sacrificed so much for us. "
Veterans who join the program also participate in ongoing financial education and free one-on-one housing counseling from USA Cares Certified Military Housing Specialists.
On March 3, at Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel in Yucca Valley, HomeStrong USA donated a newly renovated home to Steve Yoshimi, a Vietnam veteran and cancer patient.
"Mr. Yoshimi is the definition of a hero," Davis said, "His entire life has involved bravely serving others, and it is time for someone to give back to him. "
The news that Yoshimi was being given a home near his family was a surprise to him.
"We are speechless," Yoshimi said.
Yoshimi spent two decades as a missionary in Mexico building homes and was involved in managing an orphanage and day-care facility.
"Giving back to our military veterans in the form of homeownership is a tremendous honor for us at Bank of America," said Gregg Hall, senior vice president, Bank of America and member of the bank employees' Military Support & Assistance Group.
There are certain eligibility requirements that must be met to qualify for the aid.
HomeStrong USA can be reached by calling 877-647-8764 or homestrongusa.org.

Hayase is another lovely Asian model to be. She has that look of being forever a teenager. She is one Japanese babe that will be in demand long after lots of others have retired to have babies. I have seen her portfolio and offered to take her out to update it when she is ready to. I am hoping she starts with new lingerie shots!

Aww! I like it!
So freaking happy this made it. I voted for it both times. I'm happier it made it to EC.
I'll be home for Christmas?
So, do the snowflakes also charge you for carry on baggage? Lovely design, very nice choice, staffers!
Reminds me of Mary Poppins! I like it.
What they don't mention is that snowflake is about fifty feet tall and will crush his house when it lands.
Yes!! Thank you!! This might be my new favorite shirt.woot design ever. Very emphatically in for one, even though it's probably not the best financial decision I've ever made. Great design...thanks for reaching down and snagging it even though it didn't get enough votes.
What's in the box?
Science proves that there are no two snowflakes exactly alike. I spy with my little eye four of the same snowflakes on this design. I call blasphemy.
Looks like that guy from the "Son of Man" painting caught a flight home for Christmas. I hope they give him a new face for the holiday.
Wonder if he went with the pat-down or the body scan.
At least the cold should mean he won't have to pick bugs out of his teeth when he arrives!
What you don't see is the guys face twisted in horror as the giant snow flake takes him to some distant place in Siberia where snowflakes are naturally that large.
Ah, tonight we have the whimsical choice...and a handy suggested mode of travel to avoid airport delays and intrusions, but mostly a nice shirt that while not long sleeved enough to ward off the cold still manages to induce warm holiday feelings. Nice.
That'd be nice. You wouldn't need a full body pat down to board a snowflake.
not to be a party pooper but I hope he melts. It's supposed to be 2 degrees F here this time tomorrow & I don't like it.
Snowball anti-air cannons lay in wait.

It appears that the streams of wind are searching him thoroughly.
Can you parallel park a snowflake?
The man screams, "Clarence! What is this supposed to teach me about my wonderful life!? Ahhhh!"
rfrederi wrote:It appears that the streams of wind are searching him thoroughly.
Uncomfortable though not as icy as the hands of terrorism.
Smart Post, eh? I wonder how good the odds are of a shirt getting here in time for me to wear it home for Christmas...
Wow, woot. That write-up was remarkably ...sweet. You okay?
That's one small dude, that right there. Either that, or we have a snowflake for the Guinness Book.
Reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy where you have to grab the fuzzy dandelion petal and glide to your next destination.
Those terrorists are crafty sunzabritches! Can't use planes any more! Let's use snowflakes!!!
I wonder if he's cold? He has no gloves on, and no scarf or anything... poor chap.
I would grab several if the snowflakes glow in the dark, but I don't see anything about that. I had a glowing t-shirt when I was a kid and it's still my favorite shirt of all time.
This shirt is fairly creative. I'm glad it was chosen to be an Editor's Choice print. :D
What does it say about me if I felt more sentimental and heart-warmed by Woot's little write-up than I did about the entirity of Jim Carrey's The Grinch?
Pretty neat idea. Reminds me of Mary Poppins.
I must admit that I like the secular motif which is completely inclusive. Who can't relate to rushing home to see loved ones? Even if your religion has no Winter holiday, i.e. Buddhism, or you lack religion, you can still relate to the rush toward the warmth of home. Had the snowflake been a star, some may have interpreted it to be Christian-specific.

Hats off to you sir; good call. I agree wholeheartedly.
A lot of the shirts that aren't derby winners... and even some that are, make me think, "Who would wear such a thing in public, and on what possible occasion." ...but enough of you guys obviously seem to really like it.
Doesn't the Sugar Plum Fairy ride away on a snowflake in the Nutcracker? Or is that just the one my sister was always in while I was growing up?
Do they give you a "pat down" before you can board the snowflake?
It's a really nice shirt but I have waaay too many really nice shirts :/
So is it a tiny man or a giant snowflake?
Whoa! Thanks Woot!! Great write-up. You guys are fond of of curve balls, I've noticed. And thanks for the awesome comments everyone!

Looks like Sunday's set for good winds, but lots of disagreement about Saturday. Latest Swellinfo maps have sideshore for Va Beach and onshore for Eastern Shore. Both show decreasing wind throughout the day. Weather.com pretty much agrees with the wind direction, but is showing lighter winds (< 5kt) early, followed by heavier winds later. Accuweather.com shows onshore for both places and heavier winds (10-15 kt).
Any other sites people recommend for wind forecasts?
Is there one source that's thought of as the "official" wind forecast shop?
Thanks and hoping the 6pm forecast update will be colored blue or green for one of these locations on Saturday!

Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000s
34 posts
• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI currently use GP4000S tyres on my better clincher rims and pretty happy with them. I've seen that a few people of late using ultremo zx tyres. I'm wondering if any have used both and how they compare for mileage, puncture resistance and grip. Up for some new tyres soon so willing to give them a go if they are not too fragile.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sDone a bit of web surfing. The GP4000S is more durable by most accounts, so I'm sticking with them, as I've had a good run.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI just switched to conti 4 seasons. Checked my ultremo zx today and the rear has bad cuts and threads coming off the sidewall. Picked a lot of debris out of them but they look close to being done after 600 km. they came with my new bike and they are definitely more a race tyre than a good choice for everyday mileage.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sThanks Sloth. They are a different class of tyre by the sound of it. Don't know why I even considered changing.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sUltremo zx is the better tyre. GP4000 has the durability.
I've been using ultremos for about 3 years. Had a pretty good run until the newest set. The rear tyre sidewall punctured after about 1000km. From now on will probably go ultremo front, gp4000 rear.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sYou might like to look at the ultremo DD. They are a more durable ZX. Ideally you have a ZX on the front and a DD on the back.
Mind you I struggle to stop them blowing off wheels so am discontinuing their use. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI have a set of Ultremos that came with my bike, they are nice to race on and I have no issues with their performance. As others have said, unfortunately they don't seem to be anywhere near as durable as the gp4000s (which I have always used in the past), I've only done a couple of hundred km on them and there are already some significant cuts on the rear tyre. I could just be unlucky, but I have been riding the same roads that I always ride, and I'm always pretty careful about riding through any debris on the road so I think it's more likely the tyres. I will be changing to a set of gp4000s after these ones are dead.

Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sMilage = 4000 (gators are even better)
Puncture resistance = 4000 (gators are even better) Grip = Ultremo If you want something a bit more durable then look at the Durano Plus. You won't get the milage that you do with the 4000 but they are tough and have very good grip.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sClincher wise I'm happy with 25mm GP4000S - they seem fast and have been ultra reliable for me. (No punctures in 15000+kms - I do replace the rear as soon as it excessively flattens off though)
With tubulars I started on GP4000S (22mm) but wrecked 2 rear tyres quickly (sidewall cuts). I switched to Ultremo HT and haven't had a problem. Heaps of grip and fast - not as durable as the Contis but they have cut up or let me down. When my backup of Conti clinchers runs out I think I'll try the Schwalbe 25mm clinchers but both are great tyres. Weekends: Giant TCR Advanced SL1 - Full carbon, Dura-ace, Custom 50mm tubulars
Commute: Giant TCR Alliance 1 - Carbon / Alloy Frame, full Ultegra G/set, Dura-ace 24mm CL rims, AYUP lights
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI was thinking of swapping to these tyres myself but after reading this thread I think I'll stick with my GP's. And for the record I have had a great run with them puncture free
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI've got a durano on the rear at the moment which is a much better match to the gp4000s for comparison.
It's going well, no punctures and feels pretty similar to ride. It's a bit heavier but doesn't feel that much different.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sOk. The c50 still has the conti on the rim.
However my c24 ultremo DD was down to the canvas so I had to do something. I took the Dd off, removed the blue factory rim tape, and replaced it with cloth. I then grabbed one of the near new ultremo ZX that had blown off the c50. I fitted it using the usual procedure and pumped it to 140. . If its still up tomorrow afternoon ill drop 20 out of it and ride it. Cross fingers. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI have had a 25 Durano on the back for training since end of June... still going strong. No punctures, somewhere between 6-7000 kms, just ordered another set for next year.
I did have one on the front as well but lent my wheel to someone with poorly set up brakes and it destroyed the side wall .
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sMy 23c durano on the back is going quite well too. No real cuts or nicks and not squared off yet after ?1-1.5k kms. I might stick with them as trainers, it's given no issues yet and is maybe a bit more durable than a 4000S wear wise, I'm not decided yet though.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sJust realized the cheapest Schwalbe Ultremo DD on the net is around AUD45 vs Conti GP4000s at 25% cheaper.
The latter is 10g heavier but apparently much more durable. That's not a calculus in favor of DDs IMHO. Though suppose it boils down to what value you afford an AUD.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000s
Apart from the blowing off issue which we might have gotten to the cause of now... I really like the DD's. I've worn two down to canvas and am yet to have a flat. They are very resistant to cuts and general abuse. They are good tyres. I really like the combo of a ZX on the front and a DD on the back. I don't doubt the GP4000s is a good tyre too.. so if you can get them cheap...... Personally I think a GP4000 on the front would be a bit of overkill myself. I like the idea of a lighter tyre on the front. They don't cop the abuse that the backs get and don't seem to get nearly as many flats. Maybe a conti attack on the front with a GP4000 would be a good mix. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000safter reading a magazine tyre test I bought a couple of zx
ultremos, but while waiting for the pro3's to wear out reading about Comedians experience had me a bit concerned. So installing them I checked and rechecked the tube was sitting in the tyre correctly even blowing some air into the tube to give it some shape before installing. I have only 250km on them but they seem ok, roll a bit faster than pro3 (allready a fast tyre) fit on C24's a lot easier than pro3 (nightmare to install) but at same 115psi ride a lot harsher and run at 100psi to get similar ride quality(still not as nice) to pro3, I can only imagine what the tyres max of 145psi would ride like.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sOn my 3rd pair of ZXs...they do get nicks but it doesn't affect lifespan and I get no more flats than anyone else. I'm happy with em, light, roll well etc.
Not so much a cyclist...more of a sit down comedian
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sI've got both and prefer the ultremos they grip better they do cut easier but I find they last longer when there at recommended psi and I feel safer on them into fast corners.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sThose who claim one tire is "better", are making a very dubious claim if they don't include bodyweight, tire width, and surfaces regularly ridden, including whether they ride in the wet.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sUltremo fans might be interested in the cause of the threads that hang off the side of the tyres...
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sas I think I implied earlier on the forum,
anything <=200g is marketed for comparative light weight, as is advantageous in racing. anything over 220g is marketed and designed for durability. 200-220g attempts to be a jack of all trades.
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000s
Based on this nobody's opinion should be shared. ...way too may variables. As this probably applies to 75% of all discussions on this forum, perhaps we should go ahead and close it down? Not so much a cyclist...more of a sit down comedian
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000s
what? and deprive readers of the 25% of content that is more helpful than (fords are better than holdens)^200
Re: Schwalbe ultremo zx v gp4000sThe Ultremo rides and rolls better than the GP, but the gains are marginal.
The Pro Race rolls smoother than both, but are too hard to get on and off. You will need to buy Ultremo at roughly twice the rate of the GPs, as the Ultremo wears much faster.

Rank and organization: Coal Heaver, U.S. Navy. Born: 1840, Russia. Accredited to: Maine. G.O. No.: 45, 31 December 1864.
Citation: On board the U.S.S. Agawam, as one of a volunteer crew of a powder boat which was exploded near Fort Fisher, 23 December 1864. The powder boat, towed in by the Wilderness to prevent detection by the enemy, cast off and slowly steamed to within 300 yards of the beach. After fuses and fires had been lit and a second anchor with short scope let go to assure the boat's tailing inshore, the crew again boarded the Wilderness and proceeded a distance of 12 miles from shore. Less than 2 hours later the explosion took place, and the following day, fires were observed still burning at the fort.

"I gave at the office! " That's the put-off line used by many when asked for yet another donation to a charity, special cause, or fund-raiser. It's a kind of cop out to stop the asking, whether we gave or not.
The reality is: There are many truly compelling reasons why we're asked to contribute time and money to help people in dire trouble, some we may know and many we don't.
We witnessed it in the 2012 devastation and loss of life caused by:
- Hurricane Sandy on the east coast
- Raging forest fires out west
- Tornados in the mid-west
- Relentless drought across the country
The news coverage connects us with the human misery, the disruption to people's lives, and the unfathomable monetary and material loss. "There, but for the grace of God, go I," we say to ourselves.
Many of us look for some way to help. We may send money through organizations like the American Red Cross or Salvation Army. We may hop on buses or get in our cars and go to lend a hand.
In a dramatic crisis, something in our hearts motivates us to help however we can.
Pain at the office
Our jobs can become increasingly demanding, so it's easy to become absorbed in our own daily grind. We're engrossed in meeting performance expectations, dealing the boss's idiosyncrasies, struggling with changing work methods, and managing our time.
The truth is: Crises find their way into our offices. They may affect your work unit, the department, the company, or simply the coworker you sit next to.
It's things like:
- A new employee who 1.) no one talks to; 2.) is mistreated, 3.) makes mistakes, or 4.) struggles to master the work
- A persistent conflict among coworkers who can't find common ground on a work issue
- A boss who alienates certain team members because s/he doesn't understand how the work is done
- A failed work process that caused customer outrage
- A workplace accident resulting in the serious injury of several employees
- An unexpected workload that must be completed asap to meet customer deadlines
The big question is: What are you prepared to do?
- Will you wait until someone asks you to pitch in?
- Will you lay low because you "don't want to get your hands dirty?"
- Will you step up and offer your ideas, expertise, time, and/or leadership?
When trouble comes to your office, there's an opportunity to "give" of yourself because it's the right thing to do.
Selflessness is part courage.
Crises are relative. A crisis to you may or may not be a crisis to me. It just matters that when people feel that the situations they're in are more than they can handle, you have an opportunity to offer help.
Crises manifest confusion. Leadership promises to restore order. Your selfless entry into a crisis of any dimension is a willingness to address that confusion and quell some of it.
As with any disaster, we need to give what we know we can. It's not about over-extending or over-reaching.
At work you can:
- Help that struggling coworker by showing them how to avoid errors or helping them build friendships
- Offer an idea that will help conflicting parties reach a compromise
- Talk to the boss about his/her work knowledge if you have the right kind of relationship with him/her
- Provide an idea that will help fix that failed customer process
- Suggest a change in safety procedures
- Work extra hours to meet that surprise workload
That's how you "give at the office" when things get dicey. It's about you thinking more about someone else than about yourself.
Thanks giving
Getting in the habit of giving selflessly at work and in the community enriches us. It's a habit that builds on itself. The more we do, the easier it gets.
When we recognize the value of those opportunities to give, the "thanks giving" comes from within us. In many cases, " thanks getting" will follow.

Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thread)Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thread)Update: New Sub Forum added to cater for cycling safety discussions, so no longer a 'one and only helmet thread'
Welcome to the helmet thread. All discussion relating to the use (mandatory or otherwise) of helmets belongs here. All other new MHL (or similar) threads will be closed and a link given redirecting members to this thread. Existing threads will eventually be redirected to here if they continue to get traffic. If you feel your discussion warrants a seperate topic, please PM AU bicycles or a Moderator with details prior to posting your thread, or it will be locked. Obvious exceptions are in the Marketplace or Bike & Gear Review sections. Standard forum guidelines apply in this thread, no flaming, no personal attacks etc etc. If you havent read the guidelines or need a refresher, you can find them here. If you feel a post has breached the guidelines, please do not respond as this is where flaming often begins. Instead, click on the report post button at the bottom of the post and the moderators will take appropriate action where required. Note: Given how heated helmet threads have become in the past, breaches of the guidelines in this thread will be given very little tolerance. Please think before you post. Edit: Also see Forum Announcement here
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADgood idea.
I wil start . Helmet use should not be mandatory. The dutch have one word to describe the aussie MHL, this word is ;

Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
I understand, i was trying to start a serous discussion here, sorry won't happen again.. The dutch have one word to describe the aussie MHL, this word is ;
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADDon't be sorry Damhool it's cool............ IDGARA about helmet discussions so I was simply placing some of my poor humour into a thread I don't care about so it's me that needs to keep out allowing folks to continue with the pages of dribble.
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
nah it's ok i love humor.... And pineapple... The dutch have one word to describe the aussie MHL, this word is ;
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADI think helmets should not be mandatory
BUT I also think people should take responsibilty for thier own actions - I don't want to see any more 'work' for the legal fraternity I also want to see Australia's capital cities (and others) having successful on street rental bike cultures - mandatory helmet laws are a major hindrance to the uptake by tourists and other visitors to CBD areas who want to hire a bike on impulse. I'm so indoctriated in helmet wearing now that I reckon I'd feel vulnerable on my bike/s without one.......... Last edited by open roader on Sat Aug 21, 2010 1:27 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADHumor, pineapples and helmets?
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
I've ridden off and on with Chris over the last few years and I've never seen him ride a bike without a helmet on. Got bored of my signature
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
Well of course. I don't know him but he's a Professor and I'm sure is law-abiding. As it's been the law for 20 years you'd kind of expect that he does wear a helmet. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADWhether or not helmets are mandatory doesn't bother me. I'd wear one anyway. I can't get helmet hair cause I got no hair.
I can't understand people who are pro-helmet laws though. A dead cyclist doesn't cost the gov as much as one who survived cause he was wearing a helmet. I'm all for Darwinian evolution doing it's job. Last edited by Zynster on Fri Aug 20, 2010 7:42 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADI'll sum up the arguments here:
1 - Helmets protect the head during a fall and thus make riding safer. 2 - Helmets are a barrier which deters people from riding, and since cycling is good for general health, mandatory helmet laws are bad for people in general. 3 - Helmet threads make people angry. Cheers, Graeme Think outside the double triangle.

Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD[mod helmet]I'm glad this idea is up and running, it will make life a lot easier for everyone who cares little for the topic, myself included.
I would request that since this is serious thread for serious posters that only serious posts be posted, seriously. Also, I doubt that many of the mod squad will spend much time here, therefore any participants should kindly self moderate and if anything should slip through that participants notify the moderators by means of the "report post" button. Finally, who thinks this thread should be stickied? Shaun[/mod helmet] ...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
[flameproof helmet on] Is that a chicken or the egg kinda deal? What came first, the diabetes or the acquired brain injury. I think the only way that argument would make sense would be if riding a bike was the only possible form of exercise available to the people who dont like wearing a helmet. [flameproof helmet off]
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADThis helmet thread ROCKS. Much better than all the other crap ones. Keep em coming....
Oh yeah, I dont have an issue with helmets being mandatory. They keeps the brains in when you fall over. Massive win IMO.
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADI mean who wants this to happen when they fall over.
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADI forgot which thread I was in re: capslock.
How about this one? It has a safety light! So we get the leaders we deserve and we elect, we get the companies and the products that we ask for, right? And we have to ask for different things. – Paul Gilding
but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADY' know, the mods seem to have such a serious job to do here. Sometimes I think they'd like an each way bet.
Fixed it for you Shaun
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADA helmet is a device that has the function of reducing injuries. Would it be satisfactory (or even better) if another device, that even more efectively prevents injury, was worn instead? For example, a fluoro vest as worn by EVERY person who works near a roadside. Truck drivers, local government workers, postal service etc etc. It's compulsory. It's probably been found, by the workers compensation insurance companies to be conclusively effective too. How about scrapping the Compulsory Helmet law and introducing a Compulsory High Visibility Clothing Law. For everyone within 1 metre of a road.
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
you imply in this statement that cycling is only for exercise
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREADNo worse than some implying that cycling is limited primarily to commuting
Re: The one (and only) HELMET THREAD
well if you left out the word primarily it would be no worse but as it stands it is worse.

Peanut sauce stir-fry? Yes, please. Spicy peanut sauce is one of my favorite comfort foods. Maybe even in my all-time top ten. The last time I stirred up this peanut sauce we were watching episode 5 of Brideshead Revisited- the most dread inducing episode when it's clear that poor, sweet Sebastian is clinically depressed and Mummy Marchmain (aka the Velvet Hammer) is determined to crush his spirit for propriety's sake. Steve and I were sighing audibly, rooting for dear Sebastian, hoping against hope he would somehow summon the courage to break free from Mummy and stop self medicating as we chop-sticked our way through this lip-smacking bowl of peanutty goodness.
You'll need:
For the stir-fry:
For the sauce combine:
After a minute or two, add the peanut sauce [you've tasted it, right?] and continue to stir and cook until the chicken is done (no longer pink inside) and the veggies are tender-crisp. Don't overcook- stir-fried veggies are best with a fresh, slightly crisp bite- but you know that, right? Fluff the rice and divide between 4 warmed bowls. Spoon the peanut chicken and vegetables on top. Get every last drop of the sauce.
If you are allergic to soy, skip the wheat-free Tamari sauce and use balsamic vinegar and a dab of molasses instead.
Use Sunbutter (from sunflower seeds) or cashew butter instead of peanut butter if you are avoiding peanuts.
Thanks to Kalyn for this low glycemic index tip: Sugar-free peanut butter and a half cup brown rice per serving makes this a lower carb dish for those limiting carbs in the South Beach Diet.

CANTON - Twirling in petticoat skirts and Western shirts, more than 100 men and women from both sides of the international border gathered Saturday afternoon to celebrate their common love of square and round dancing.
Members of clubs from Prescott, Brockville and other Canadian border towns traveled to Canton to help the Skirts N Flirts club celebrate its 40th anniversary during a square and round dance party at Canton Centrals Banford Elementary cafeteria.
This is lovely, said Shirley Hull of Prescott, Ont. as she took a break from swirling in a skirt decorated with pastel-colored tulips and puffed out with crinoline.
A professional caller directed their dance steps, calling out phrases like do-si-do, wheel and deal, ocean wave and promenade. Participants practice modern Western square dancing which was derived from traditional square dancing and barn dancing. They also perform round dancing which is cued ballroom dancing that progresses in a circular pattern.
A square dancer for the past 10 years, Mrs. Hull said shes drawn by the friendly people, the exercise and the music. She owns roughly 75 square dance outfits.
I find some at boutiques. A lot of us girls make our own, she said.
Founded in Canton in 1973, Skirts N Flirts had 116 members graduate from its first class in the spring of 1974. The group was spearheaded by Maurice and Bernita Spicer with help from Paul and Miriam Clements and Lellan and Lavern Freeman.
The club is part of the Seaway Valley Square and Round Dance Association, which includes groups from both the U.S. and Canada.
Several of the charter members attended Saturdays event and spent time leafing through old photo albums and reminiscing. Refreshments and door prizes added to the festivities.
Skirts N Flirts President Alen R. Brown, Harrisvile, said many of the long-time members are getting older, and he wants to encourage younger people to try out square dancing to keep the activity alive for future generations.
Several years ago there were about a dozen square dance clubs in Northern New York, but Skirts N Flirts is the only one that remains, he said. By contrast, the number of Canadian clubs has grown.
Were trying to get new members all the time. We want people to know its not just an old persons activity. Anyone can join and have fun, he said. It keeps you moving. Its better than staying home watching TV.
He noted that his 26-year-old granddaughter is a member.
Skirts N Flirts now has about 26 members who gather Friday evenings from September to May at the Banford Elementary cafeteria. Newcomers start with 10 weeks of lessons. The group is open to couples and single people of all ages, as well as whole families. Besides dances, the group meets for picnics, pizza nights, covered dish dinners, theme nights and outings to other clubs.
The clubs original caller, Keith R. Hubbard of Kingston, Ont., traveled the 90 miles to Canton nearly every Friday for several years, often traveling in snowy weather that forced him to stay overnight. He spent 41 yeas as a caller for different clubs before retiring last year.
I love it. You cant meet nicer people than square dancers, the 78 year old said.
Hannah and Carson Emhof of Canton have been members of Skirts N Flirts since the club started in 1974. They joined the party to see old friends.
We loved the friendships and the people, Mrs. Emhof said. Its a welcoming group.
Linda M. Dibble, Skirts N Flirts club secretary, said she hopes others will check out the club.
If people knew how much fun it is, I think more would get involved, she said. We are all a big happy family.
For more information, contact Mrs. Dibble at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling her at 518-529-7726.
