IN THE SHADOW OF THE BRIGHTEST MOON in a century, a steady stream of casually dressed older folks, a few with walkers and canes, shuffle into a suite at the Green Oaks Inn in Fort Worth. Drinks are drunk, cigarettes smoked — rituals of closure in the last hours of the party of their lives. Greeting guests is the evening's host, Pat Kirkwood, a lanky 72-year-old whose black suit, black shirt, black tie, and black alligator shoes are a startling contrast to his pale pink skin and snow-white ponytail and matching beard. If not for the odd phrase snatched from conversation ("There is no remission"), you wouldn't know he's dying. If he's going to go, he figured, he may as well have one last fling with the friends and acquaintances who made his nightclub chain, the Cellar, the coolest in Texas.
And so they have come: all the old bouncers, managers, musicians, waitresses, lawyers (Tarrant County district attorney Tim Curry phoned in regrets; he might have to run for reelection), and assorted hangers-on. A black and white film of the beach-based 1951 Daytona 500 plays on the television set in one room; Kirkwood, the only Texan in the race, vies for the lead until the sand jams his gearbox. Next door, on another TV, is a grainy color film shot in the early sixties by Jimmy Hill, then the manager of the Fort Worth Cellar; most of it was taken during the Artists and Models Ball on Halloween night in 1962. Kirkwood is visible in it too, as are several female dancers in various stages of undress. "There's my ex-wife," Hill says with a chuckle.
At a table in the corner, onetime moonshine smuggler Don "Thunder Road" Johnson plunks down next to Kirkwood and tells stories about flying around Texas on a four-day drunk, while Chuck "Elf" Bolding, who managed the Cellar in Dallas and now supervises security guards at the Las Vegas Hilton, recalls the nights that an underage Stevie Ray Vaughan played the club. "We had our own law," Bolding says. "It was whatever Pat wanted."
"Hey, Pat, " a voice shouts from the other room. "What happened the night one guy shot another guy in the head and the guy who got shot went to jail?"
Those were the days.
THE ORIGINAL CELLAR, a basement joint at the corner of Tenth and Main streets in downtown Fort Worth, was a beatnik coffeehouse, a trendy concept when it opened in 1959. By the time I was old enough to sneak out of the house, it had moved to a second-story walk-up three blocks from the Tarrant County courthouse, and no matter what the menu said, it was no longer serving just coffee, if you know what I mean. There were Cellars too in downtown Dallas (on Commerce Street, across from the KLIF building), in downtown Houston (in Market Square), and, briefly, near the River Walk in San Antonio, until officials of the area's five Air Force bases pressured it into closing.
For as long as they were in business — last call in Fort Worth, Dallas, and Houston was 1972, 1972, and 1973, respectively — the Cellars defined nightlife. They functioned as all-purpose hangouts with a hint of biker bar, semi-legit walks on the wild side that were as edgy as it got in Texas in the swinging sixties. The clientele they attracted would be considered retro hip today: low-grade hoodlums left over from the Jacksboro Highway Dixie Mafia, off-duty cops, ink-stained newspaper reporters, penny-ante hustlers and gamblers, and the occasional out-of-town celebrity, from tough-guy actor Lee Marvin to astronaut Alan Shepard.
To a fresh-faced sixteen-year-old looking for cheap thrills, no place was as deliciously threatening or as sinfully inviting. Walk in and there was no turning back. You'd give your dollar to the ex-con working the register, slip into the smoky haze, and move instinctively toward the booming beats. Dark was a theme: The walls were painted black, except for the slogans painted in white letters ("Evil Spelled Backwards Is Live," "You Must Be Weird to Be Here"); the staff was dressed in black; the interior lighting was pretty much a single red bulb hanging from the ceiling. Customers sat on large pillows on the floor. At one end of the room was a bandstand from which music blared until dawn. And it was dawn: The Cellar stayed open all night, winking at the law that said nightclubs had to close at midnight, because, you know, no liquor, beer, or wine was served, though I'd have sworn I was getting a buzz from the fake rum and coke brought by the waitress wearing only a bra and panties — at that point, the most exposed flesh I'd ever seen close-up on a woman other than my mother.
I knew enough not to get too familiar. Behind every waitress was a bouncer, part of the burliest, surliest security crew enforcing the peace anywhere in Tarrant County, and he was eager to kick my skinny ass down the stairs if I gave him a reason. I wanted to stay, because on some nights, in the wee hours, a waitress might fling off her underwear in front of the bandstand, which, back in those days, was outside the law. My friends and I figured the owner really had some pull. We had no idea.
Among its other charms, the Cellar's all-night policy honed the chops of performers like Stevie, Dusty Hill of ZZ Top, guitar ace Bugs Henderson, a truly original street drummer and rapper named Cannibal Jones (who changed his name to Bongo Joe when he moved to San Antonio), John Denver, and comedian George Carlin, who perfected his "seven dirty words" shtick at the Fort Worth Cellar; it also burnished the legends of characters like music director Johnny Carroll, a cult rockabilly star back in the fifties, and cats named Tiger, Tudy, and Hatchet, as well as a Beatles cover band called the Cellar Dwellers.
To keep the vibe going, Kirkwood laid down the law to

Don't miss the rest of Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles.
©1965 Lloyd Alexander; (P)2004 Random House, Inc, Listening Library, a division of Random House, Inc.
"A wise and wondrous tale written in epic fashion." (Booklist)
"Bogged down."
Good story but got a bit slow compared to book one. Looking forward to book three on the ride home
James Langton is an excellent narrator. I love all the interactions between Elonwy and Taran. She is sharp tongued and continually baffles the poor boy.
"Well narrated for young listeners"
The five books in this classic coming-of-age series were written to be read aloud, and the narrator does a good job with them. They were favorite bedtime stories for our children and they enjoyed hearing them again while traveling. Although the main character is a boy growing to be a man, both my sons and daughter have read and re-read these stories. Be aware that some of the characters die in the later books, so this is not for very young children. Ages eight to twelve would be about right.
"A Series that Builds"
Although you can listen to just one of these books, they are more fun as a set. Each story builds upon the others. All the companions of the previous volume return. The theme of this book is sacrifice.
"Harry Potter, Percy Jackson Fans, This is For You!"
This is the 2nd book in the Chronicles of Prydain, and a Newberry Award finalist. The 5th book in the series (The High King) won the Newberry Award. I highly recommend all five books. If you love great adventures, well drawn lovable characters, and profound life lessons, you will love Prydain. Lloyd Alexander creates the world of Prydain loosely based on Welsh mythology. They are excellent excellent books! For those who have listened to Harry Potter, James Langton does as good a job as Jim Dale. It was wonderful to listen to him bring Taran and his friends to life. This is a book written for younger readers (middle school and late elementary) but high schoolers and adults will take much from it also. Do yourself a favor--read these books!
"Wonderful story for kids & adults, great narration"
My 8 yr old son, my 5 yr old daughter, my wife and I really enjoyed all of the Chronicles of Prydain books. James Langton's narration is fantastic.

Award-winning violinist enjoys being a professional musician despite job being less stable
Published on Aug 5, 2014 2:27 PM
When Singaporean concert violinist Alan Choo was seven years old, he told his primary school teacher that he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up.
While Choo, now 23 and a professional musician, dismisses his choice of ambition back then as "childish", he says in hindsight that it was perhaps a harbinger of the less typical career path he has taken anyway.
He says with a laugh: "I think if you want to be an astronaut as a kid, that already says something about you. I was never one to go for a mainstream or ordinary job and I like going down a route that is less tried out."
Taking the road less travelled has certainly made all the difference for Choo, who has just won this year's Goh Soon Tioe Centenary Award. He beat three others on the shortlist after an audition where each musician played three pieces for a panel of judges.

"I'm finding out as I'm aging that I am in love with the world. And I look right now, as we speak together, out my window in my studio and I see my trees and my beautiful, beautiful maples that are hundreds of years old, they're beautiful. And you see I can see how beautiful they are. I can take time to see how beautiful they are."
Last week, Rollins posted the introduction and first chapter of Insurrection on his website, and I devoured it. He really is one of the most challenging thinkers in the Christian world today.
If you're anything like me, reading this brief entry from Ian Millhiser at ThinkProgress.org titled, "Scalia says there's nothing unconstitutional about executing the innocent," will no doubt do more to raise your blood pressure than the afternoon latte you were just contemplating.
Not every Christian who shares my concern for the poor has the same view on policy or politics. But, here is a prejudice I am not going to back away from.
To be a follower of Christ is to be biased for the poor.
In life, we all have our biases. Some of them are natural tendencies or inclinations and others are habituated. Our culture tells us to be biased -- in a deferential sense -- towards those who can pay us back or who can look out for us in return. Society tells us to get in with the strong and the powerful because they will give us strength and power in return.
Jesus teaches something very different.
American Christian Zionism is pushing the U.S. government to support Israeli policies that our international friends find immoral and illegal.
We have come to believe that Christian Zionism underwrites theft of Palestinian land and oppresses Palestinian people, helps create the conditions for an explosion of violence, and pushes US policy in a destructive direction that violates our nation's commitment to universal human rights.
We write as evangelical Christians committed to Israel's security. We worry about your support for policies that violate biblical warnings about injustice and may lead to the destruction of Israel.
Illness among people and livestock, tainted drinking water and explosions and fires: these are some of the discovered effects of hydraulic fracking -- a growing, and increasingly controversial, method of harnessing natural gas for energy production.
Yet as more policymakers explore the so-called benefits of fracking, vocal opposition to the process gains momentum, lead in part by voices from faith communities.
Fracking involves injecting millions of gallons of pressurized water, chemicals and sand into the earth to break apart shale to release natural gas. Some chemicals used in fracking are toxic, and accidents and spills can cause them to leak into water supplies.
For some reason, I associate autumn with good novels.
This makes very little sense, I realize, seeing as it's just as possible for one to stumble upon a good novel in any other season. In fact, if anything, most people are likely to associate summer with good reads.
But for me, it's all about the fall. Always has been, always will be.
Davis is set to die on Wednesday for the killing of off-duty Savannah officer Mark MacPhail, who was slain while rushing to help a homeless man being attacked. It is the fourth time in four years his execution has been scheduled by Georgia officials...The decision appeared to leave Davis with little chance of avoiding the execution date. Defense attorney Jason Ewart has said that the pardons board was likely Davis' last option.
The study by Los Angeles-based Relief International found that about 10 percent of the estimated 15 million women who live in Iraq are widows. Among them, 59 percent have lost their husbands during the U.S.-led war.
"I have no interest in megachurches with jocular millionaire pastors," Ebert writes. "I think what happens in them is sociopolitical, not spiritual. I believe the prosperity gospel tries to pass through the eye of the needle. I believe it is easier for a Republican to pass through the eye of a needle than for a camel to get into heaven. I have no patience for churches that evangelize aggressively.
"I have no interest in being instructed in what I must do to be saved. I prefer vertical prayers, directed up toward heaven, rather than horizontal prayers, directed sideways toward me," he continued. "If we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, we must regard their beliefs with the same respect our own deserve."

Favreau, who wrote "Swingers," has now directed and written the hilarious Made, which re-teams him with Vaughn. The two play off each other so well that they recall fond memories of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Fans of "Swingers" may be disappointed. Made doesn't give us as many jazzy catchphrases to latch onto, or figuratively hoist us aloft on a giant martini glass of prolonged adolescence. But then that's precisely why it's the better movie.
Made may look like a Wong Kar-Wai movie -- the cinematographer, Chris Doyle, has brought to the film the dark, rich romanticism of the movies he's shot for the Hong Kong prodigy -- but the sensibility is Woody Allen, only sweeter.
A peculiarly entertaining comedy, revisits the rapport that Favreau and Vaughn had in "Swingers" (1996), and rotates it into a deadpan crime comedy.
It's often hilarious, and there is lots of the zippy, apparently improvised dialogue that made "Swingers" such a pleasure.
Little more than a rambling chain of combative buddy mishaps, but the interplay between Vaughn and Favreau, who does great double takes of thrusting chin frustration, spins you through the weak patches.
Favreau and Vaughn have chemistry to kill: comic, combative and engagingly goofball.
Some of the dialogue in Made was improvised, and the comic invention at work here -- Vaughn's and Favreau's -- make Made into a rough gem.
Though Mr. Favreau probably had to co-star in Made to make his exposé of the loser's mushy pink underbelly of "Swingers" register, he might have come up with a better picture if he had stayed behind the camera. But he's willing to take chances, and he'll learn from this movie.
There are laughs -- lots of them, too -- but at some point the source of the laughs -- Vaughan's Ricky, a yammering loose cannon -- goes from entertaining to obnoxious.
Favreau, who also plays the long-suffering Bobby, mixes elements of drama into this appropriately annoying comedy.
The movie's success with viewers will depend on whether they think Vaughn is funny or tiresome.
None of the criminal skulduggery feels quite right, but the comic bits between Bobby (Favreau) and Ricky (Vaughn) are freewheeling fun.
Vaughn and Favreau are a dynamite pair, and there's enough give-and-take between them to satisfy any diehard "Swingers" fan.
Picture the dopes from "Dumb and Dumber" getting mixed up in organized crime -- but without benefit of Jim Carrey's rubberized pratfalls or his go-to-hell anarchism.
Handheld sprinting and swish-pans try to enliven the duo's shenanigans: undermotivated fisticuffs, fun with the nutty controls on their limousine (the roof slides open!), Vaughn's endless yapping.
The good news is that Vaughn is back in needling, loosey-goosey mode in Made, which he produced with Favreau. The bad news is that by the end, not only do you find him quite resistible, but you also may wish one of the tough guys of this mob comedy would heave him out a window.
Made is an amateur-hour buddy movie.
Totally in the distance is the memory of "Swingers," whose hipster goof has been replaced by a stupid goof. This may be what is meant by the "dumbing down of America."

I've been adopted with my friend Katherine Hepburn. Yeah!
Hello. My name is Peridot. I am named after the soft, delicate green gemstone that is the birthstone for August. Just like the golden summer sun, I am a very pretty little, spayed girl. The little white dot on my nose makes me even more precious.
I used to be listed as a special needs rabbit because I had a small lump on my side. It was removed, believed to benign and I am doing great.
I am currently living with a group of bunnies---Argentine, Allouette,McDreamy, Katherine Hepburn,Dolly and Feather. I would really prefer to be adopted along with one of my friends or as a companion to your spayed/neutered rabbit. I love having rabbit friends!
PLease meet me soon.
Beautiful handcrafted brown and tan platter with spiral, sea shell like pattern. Lovely decorative display and home decor. Rich brown and tan tones go with any decor.
Platter Measures 15 1/4 inches in diameter 1 1/2 inches tall

Re: relay driver using uln2803 to switch on the lamp
Connect input drive signal to ULN2803 input pin. Connect lamp between the corresponding output pin and +V. Connect pin 10 (COM) to +V. In Proteus, the common emitter pin of ULN2803 is hidden and is connected to ground.
By the way, for driving a single lamp, you can just use a transistor. You don't need to use ULN2803.
Hope this helps.
The blissful feeling of helping others is a unique reward that cannot be gotten from anything else.

Milton Bradley knows how to greet old friends
Apr 10, 2010, 2:58 PM EDT
UPDATE: Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu tells Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times that Milton Bradley will have to learn how to deal with distractions:
"It's tough," Wakamatsu said. "There have been players in the past who've had to deal with it. I played with Barry Bonds and Barry Bonds was as good as anybody in the game at dealing with that. It's about the club. It's not about things that aren't about pertaining to baseball. And that's what we're going to try to focus on."
11:58 AM: With a middle finger, of course. Milton Bradley flipped the bird to fans in Arlington during the fourth inning of Friday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers. Lookout Landing has the uncensored photo, if you think you can handle it.
Bradley was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Friday. He struck out swinging in the top of the fourth, so it's safe to say he was probably being heckled by the crowd. If you are surprised by this incident, you were probably also shocked to see the sun rise this morning.
By the way, Bradley is 1-for-17 (.059) with seven strikeouts to begin his tenure with Seattle. He's probably not a very happy guy right now. But again, I'm not sure he ever is.

The gift that keeps on giving. Then him and his defenders will be shocked when he is fined or suspended.
- Marc Hulet - Apr 10, 2010 at 12:20 PM
I was watching the game last night to see Colby Lewis' return to the Majors… I couldn't believe how bad Bradley looked at the plate. His body language and effort at the plate was below a 20 on the scouting scale. I'm surprised he showed that much passion walking back to the dugout.
- Old Gator - Apr 10, 2010 at 12:57 PM
Shades of Roger Maris. If I'm not mistaken it was the sedate well brought up hardy Nordic stock in the old Twins' stadium who were the beneficiary of Maris' gesture – I'm gonna guess 1962 or 1963. Well, at least there's a precedent to guide that nincompoop of a commissioner in levying the appropriate fines and what have you.

- pandamonium - Apr 10, 2010 at 4:46 PM
Wakamatsu played with Barry Bonds at ASU, long before he had to "deal with that."
- RG Earl - Apr 11, 2010 at 5:36 AM
Two separate sentences Pandamonium.
"There have been players in the past who've had to deal with it."
"I played with Barry Bonds and Barry Bonds was as good as anybody in the game at dealing with that."
Nowhere does it say that he was playing alongside Barry Bonds when Barry has to "deal with that".

Bake this citrusy tart made using orange juice, poppy seed, whipping cream and garnished with edible flowers – delicious dessert for your guests.
©2014 General Mills, Inc. All Rights Reserved. This information will only be used to send an email to your friend(s) and will not be saved. Please read our Privacy Policy.
The filling for this tart is similar to lemon curd, except the orange juice sweetens the flavor.
For a smooth filling, beat the eggs well and mix them thoroughly with the other ingredients. If the eggs aren't beaten well enough before cooking, small bits of cooked egg white can appear. If necessary, strain the filling to remove these bits.
Any edible flower decorates this tart nicely, but small violas or "Johnny jump-ups" are perfect; they look like tiny pansies. Only non-toxic flowers grown without chemicals are edible. Look for them near the packaged herbs in the produce section of the grocery store.

CHESAPEAKE -- If you're selling your home, you want to get the highest price possible.
Real estate agents say it takes two things to sell a house -- the right price and the right condition. That's where home staging can help.
"I've done my job if you say 'it doesn't look like my house anymore,'" says Kimberly Cash, a master home stager and owner of Tidewater Home Staging. "That new buyer can come in and envision themselves living there, not you."
Cash was called to stage Herb Watson's 3,400 square foot, five-bedroom home in Chesapeake.
"It's sort of a new home. It's wide-open, where you don't have clear separations between some of the rooms and we think if we can better define the rooms with some staging. We think we'll get people's attention," Watson says.
The home has been on the market for a year and a half and the price has been reduced, too.
Agents say that with some 13,000 homes currently on the market in Hampton Roads, you need every advantage.
The days of same day sales just a few years ago are gone.
"There's gonna be somebody else in your price range, so you've got to look better than the next house. Buyers have choices. You've got to make them pick your house," notes realtor Dayla Books.
Staging isn't a new concept. It's been around since the 1980s, but it's popular as ever. Cash has been in business for five years.
"It's not about your stuff, not about our stuff if it's furniture that we're bringing-in. It's all about selling your house, for top dollar, in the fastest amount of time," Cash stresses.
The staging complete, Watson is waiting for the right offer.
Experts say their staged homes, on average here, are on the market for 42 days.
Cash and real estate agents say staging can't work without people actually going inside, so they stress you need great curb appeal to get potential buyers in the front door.

War Is Personal
Sgt. José Pequeño / Age 34 / Sugar Hill, New Hampshire
José was the youngest police chief in the state of New Hampshire, forever. But then he was in the National Guard, and they asked for volunteers. It was on March 1, 2006. They were guarding an Iraqi police station and got a tip it was going to be hit. One of the bombers' cars hit the police station, blew it up, and my son was calling in to base when they threw a grenade through the open part of the Humvee. The driver died instantly. When they found José, the lower part of his body was still inside the Humvee but the explosion had gone under his helmet and the left part of his brain was out in the sand.
I used to work nights. I got home at 7 am, couldn't sleep, when there was a phone call. "We need to notify you that your son had an accident and is in surgery." But they couldn't give me any news how bad he was. I hung up, called my daughter and his dad, then kept calling Casualty Affairs every fifteen minutes. "As soon as we know, ma'am." Then, "They're flying him into Germany." Finally, when he got to Germany, they told me it was an injury on the head. "How bad is it?" "He's getting cleaned up, but we don't know the extent of the injury." I finally got to a nurse. "You tell me." "I'll have a neurosurgeon call." Two o'clock in the morning, I got a call from the neurosurgeon. "I'm still evaluating your son. I'll call you when I'm done." "How long?" "I've got like twenty minutes to go." And I said, "You've got twenty-two minutes. I'm his mom, for God's sake."
Twenty-five minutes later I got a call. A voice said, "Is this your son?" "Yes." "Such a beautiful son," he said. "What a terrible waste, a young man with such a life ahead of him, and he's going to die." Right there, a piece of me just left. "You're such a liar!" I yelled. "Of course my son is going to make it." After that, I asked, "Are you finished with your evaluation? Tell me exactly what's wrong with my son. Please." And he said, "He has a severe brain injury, severe bleeding; he's lost the bottom two lobes of his brain." And at that time, my daughter's boyfriend heard me scream and fall off the bed. I started throwing things. My next-door neighbor came running, and I sat down and cried and said, "I can't do this."

Used them before - will continue to use them. No issues and wear well

Feels very light, runs sweet and very good price.

Great product at the right price from Pro bike kit
1 December 2014 by
very good chain, 3rd one I have used,good for at least 2500miles+
Very light, slick gear changes, and strong no problems with snapping links (as I have had with others makes).
Good bit of kit well recommend perfect price to boot what more do you want.
14 November 2014 by
I find that this is a great chain. I use the Ultegra chain as the rest of my running gear is Ultegra.This is the third one I have bought and never have any trouble with them. I join the chain with a KMC reusable link. Usually take the chain off after several rides and clean it in cleaning fluid as well as the running gear.
As the cost is so little (good price at PBK) I normally change the chain after 1000 miles. As said never have any trouble with them.
12 November 2014 by
A massive improvement on the 105 chain I bought a few months ago. The Ultegra chain is smooth and silent and made my old Ultegra group set feel almost new! Well worth the money.
8 July 2014 by
It connects my cranks to my pedals , shifting is perfect and its shiny!!!
At Probikekits price why buy anything else.
9 May 2014 by
you never go wrong with Shimano products - high quality high functionality
7 April 2014 by
Great service as always from pro-bikekit this chain is superb!strongly made and way better than the kmc ones i used to use which are too thinly made in my opinion and dont stand up to the battering i give them when doing hill repeats!
The shimano chains do everything i want them to do and great price too.
I highly recommend them!
4 April 2014 by
This chain is very good product and good price.
But, some chain looks like opened before.
4 April 2014 by
Upgraded from the Shimano Tiagra chain that came with my bike and have to say I have noticed the difference in the groupset. Shifting is very smooth and gives a more efficient ride. Found breaking the chain link insert to be a pain and not giving a smooth break, i.e. a bit was sticking out. Can't comment on how long it will last, but like anything, look after it and it will last.
1 April 2014 by
Excellent chain at an excellent price, quick delivery too!!
18 March 2014 by
Fine, the Ultegra chains seem OK amd very good price from here.
21 February 2014 by
Does the job. ideal for a work bike thats road orientated. (25 miles a day). excellent value. *****
21 February 2014 by
I use 105 set, but this is compatible with my bike and I felt good quality.
13 January 2014 by
For me Shimano's Ultegra line comes closest to the sweet spot between price and performance. So far this chain has been in keeping with that belief. I can't speak to its long term durability (admittedly a key factor when reviewing a chain) but in all other regards I rate it very highly.
18 December 2013 by
Plated, shifts well, lasts long, is not overly expensive...
16 December 2013 by
Quick, simple and easy purchase.
8 November 2013 by
Great product for the price. Bought to replace my chain that was looking a bit tired. Like for Like swap to keep me going. Would recommend ProbikeKit to any budding cyclist.... Great prices and service every time!
4 November 2013 by
For a chain this is very light and flexible and is probably for the Dura-Ace I took off the bike.
28 October 2013 by
Works briliantly. Smooth shifting.Great Price. What more do you need from a chain?
24 October 2013 by
It is a pretty good price with good quality. I am satisfied by the products.
24 October 2013 by
Good chain that would be better with a quick link. Great price though!
21 October 2013 by
I have this groupset and it all works beautifully together so I keep chainset the same for reliable gear changes.
I would recommend this to anyone.
14 October 2013 by
Only chain I have used on my Kuota Kebel. I usually get about 6000 Km per chain....although I must admit I do not do a lot of hills. Best buy for a chain....and of course I always buy it here at PBK.
1 October 2012 by
Been riding Shimano for 40 years and have always combined my Dura Ace cassette/cranks with an Ultegra chain. The Ultegra chain provides great performance characteristics with the Dura Ace componentry (quiet, slick shifting, etc..) and does not stretch or breakdown as quickly as the Dura Ace chains. Broken many Dura Ace, KMC and Sram chains on competition bikes but not the Ultegra on my training and personal racing bikes. The slotting and proprietary inside/outside linking of Ultegra 6701 has improved shifting without affecting durability. For the money (and the +10g), the Ultegra 6701 is the BEST chain for the money.
19 September 2012 by
I've been riding 10 speeds for work every day in Minneapolis. This chain went on my bike in June, and was done by August. It was rather hard to put on with the first place; I prefer SRAM's powerlinks. The reason I gave it four stars is because it is above the standard of chains. It shifted well, and cleaned well. The durability is not as good as some of the higher end Sram chains that I have ridden.
29 December 2011 by
Best chain for the money. It wears really well. makes the drive quiet and the shifting is crisp. Also the price is always better on this than big brother Dura ace. I highly recommend this chain. This chain also works very well with Sram Force cranks.
27 May 2011 by
Best deal compare to the Dura Ace only 10 grams difference

RODNEY LEE COOL, whose work in experimental elementary particle physics over more than four decades played a significant role in the genesis of that field, was born March 8, 1920, at Platte, South Dakota, to George Edwin and Muriel Post Cool. George Edwin Cool was of Dutch and Norwegian stock. His father anglicized the Dutch name Koel to Cool, which is pronounced the same in the two languages. Muriel, of Dutch and English descent, was born and raised in Connecticut and moved to Platte with her family at the beginning of her high school years.
Platte is about 110 miles west of Sioux Falls and the Minnesota border and 30 miles north of the Nebraska border; about 10 miles to the northwest runs the Missouri River. The town was largely settled in the last decades of the nineteenth century when Cool's grandparents established their homes there. Rod Cool, born only thirty years after South Dakota entered the Union and only thirty years after the tragedy at Wounded Knee when the Indians in the western part of the state were subdued, was very much a son of Hamlin Garland's ''middle border." He was raised in the small town with a sister, Harriet Jane, two years younger.

Padres hitting failures lead to 8-2, 11-inning loss
And in the 10th, the Padres loaded the bases with one out only to see Headley strike out and Ludwick line out.
"You just have to keep pushing through," said Headley. "Baseball is like this sometimes. Today, unfortunately, was not a good day for me. Sometimes you just need one or two hits to get everyone going."
Earlier, the Padres fell behind for the sixth time in seven games on this 2-5 homestand.
Padres starter Clayton Richard allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits over 7 2/3 innings. For Richard, the biggest problem seems to be the come-backer.
The pitcher's second error in as many chances this season gave the Reds a 2-1 lead in the fifth. With the score tied 1-1, Reds' right fielder Jay Bruce led off the top of the fifth with a single lined over the leap of second baseman Orlando Hudson.
Paul Janish then hit a one-hopper back to Richards, who had an apparent double play. But the left-hander threw the ball past Gonzalez covering second for the error.
Red starter Sam LeCure, who is in the rotation because the Reds have two starting pitchers on the disabled list, allowed one run on one hit over six innings although his fastball never topped 88 mph.

Crappy picture, but here is my just recently aquired (from my dad) 10/22.
It's a 115 series SN from 1976. It's marked as a Bi-Centennial carbine on the barrel. It's in great shape. We went through a bad earthquake in 1994 and he had to get rid of all of his guns to pay for our move out of CA. The 10/22 is the first gun I ever shot as a kid and what I learned on. I thought it was gone forever, a long time ago. Now that I'm a little more well off than I used to be, I bought him a nice Kimber 1911 to replace the 1911 he lost 14 years ago. After he stopped freaking out, he went to his closet and broke out my old 10/22.
What a suprise! Told me he was saving it for the first grandkid, but I guess I made an impression.
Cleaned it up good tonight and became an honorary Ruger 10/22 armorer after I launched a spring across the room.
It's bone stock. Plans are fiber optic sight set, a reflex red dot eBay C-More imposter and a Simmons 4x32. Also, some large magazines, a Ruger sling, Ruger case and Ruger mag pouch. If I ever decide to go nuts, a can. If I ever decide to break the law, or they repeal all of this NFA BS, a select fire conversion.
Someone brought that up at a shooting I was involved in. I said he should have stopped. They said "what about Garner v. Tennessee."? I told them, " his name ain't Garner and we ain't in Tennessee!"

A radio jockey, besides being in tune with the latest trends and genres of music, has to have a clear voice and keep audiences engaged.
Tuning into your favourite radio station and plugging in your earphones — the first thing that hits you is the good music and the chirpy voice of the radio jockey. But if you had a chance to be on the other side, why not take it? Radio jockeying is one of the most hip and happening career options for today's youngsters. So, put on your microphones and know how you can 'stay tuned'.
RJ Jane of Chennai Live 104.8FM says that as a radio jockey, one is expected to talk about a lot of things, from movies, books, food to love, relationships and sex. To be acquainted with the latest in music is second nature to RJs. While they stay away from religious and political matters, RJs need to hold the listeners' attention with engaging topics.
"You need to keep the listeners engaged. The youth is so much more knowledgeable and confident than before. In order to ensure that I click with them, I talk about things that are currently trending and I make sure to give my opinion on it." Jane feels that the scene has drastically changed from what it was a decade ago. Youngsters have access to a lot of information via the internet and mobile technology. They are 'connected' all the time.
Radio used to be the single most powerful medium people depended on. Even now, radio holds its forte and it is primarily because of the content and how the RJ presents it that keeps it fresh. It is interactive and easily approachable, which is what makes it strike a chord with the masses. RJs have at their disposal, their voice and have to put in double the effort to make sure they don't lose their audience.
"When I started out as an RJ, I was discovering the outreach when radio was rediscovering itself," says RJ Teena of Club FM 94.3, Thiruvananthapuram. She joined the station after responding to their advertisement for RJs. "The idea is to give the listeners regular updates in a capsule form with a dash of fun, satire and music".
Voice power
More than the voice, Jane stresses that "it's how it's done". A person with a great voice can't sell it if he or she doesn't bring in the needed energy to keep listeners from falling asleep.
"Radio is entertainment without the visual medium. You can't sell creativity without understanding or feeling it," says Jane, who joined the station as a guest coordinator and programmer. Being an ardent bibliophile helped her get her own show later on.
Teena also feels that it doesn't matter if you had just woken up from bed as long as you sound fun, lively and confident. She strongly objects to people who brush off RJs as being mindless chatterboxes. "Your voice is carrying a three-hour show. That speaks a lot about you, your creativity and talent. We are very well aware about what goes on around. We deliver to the public what they want without sounding boring and going over the top."
There is a lot of creative freedom in this profession and little room for restrictions. Being a radio jockey is fun. It's also hard work. Unlike other media, in radio, you're not kept on a tight leash. You can take a completely random topic and run with it. You are consistently experimenting and coming up with formats and ideas to interact with your audience.
If you're looking to be an RJ, you needn't stalk radio jockeys or even set up camp at the station. All you have to do is walk right up, enquire about job openings and apply. You would be chosen based on how well your audition goes. A lot of radio stations are cropping up across the country and it only means that the opportunities are seemingly endless.
Hands-on training
One would also have to undergo a lot of on-the-job training —technical and otherwise —from voice modulation, voice culture, learning how to operate the console to ensuring you keep time, don't go off-topic and keep your content fresh. There is no standard process to learn these things. Experience is the best teacher. You are constantly learning and you need to give it your best shot to go a long way.
And if you're a person who can't take criticism well and learn from the feedback you receive, then this line of work may not be apt for you. RJs agree that criticism is always good since it helps them improve or look back at their presentation and make positive changes.
Now let's talk money. When it comes to creativity, you can't really put a price tag on it. For some of the better-known RJs in the country, the profession is lucrative. Depending on how good an entertainer you are or how much in demand you are with the public, sponsors put their money on you.
"Money is a quantitative aspect. More than the pay, you need to focus on what you want to do and how you go about doing it." Jane says that an RJ is never confined to being just an RJ. Before being an RJ, she used to be part of the production team. Teena also anchors regional shows on television. But if money is your main objective, then this is not the career for you. Passion is the word. Pursue it.

China on Sunday reinforced its credentials as a pro-Third World economic powerhouse by offering billions of dollars of concessional loans to Africa and pledging to contribute significantly to the continent's skilled human resources base.
Addressing delegates from 50 countries, participating in the two-day Forum on China-Africa Cooperation at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao promised $10 billion of preferential loans to Africa over the next three years.
China, he said, would also launch a partnership with Africa on science and technology, which would allow 100 African postdoctoral fellows to carry out scientific research in China, Xinhua reported.
By 2012, Chinese government scholarships to Africa would rise to 5,500, and around 20,000 African professionals would be trained over the next three years. China's ambitious plans also include building 50 schools and training 1,500 school principals and teachers for Africa.
Agriculture would be another focal area of the evolving China-Africa relationship. China would increase the number of its agricultural technology demonstration centres in Africa to 20. It would send 50 agricultural technology teams to Africa and train 2,000 agricultural technology personnel, to help boost the continent's food security.
In the field of healthcare, China would provide medical equipment and anti-malaria materials worth $73.2 million to 30 hospitals and 30 malaria prevention and treatment centres built by China. Around 3,000 doctors and nurses would also be trained under this initiative.
Mr. Wen said China would further open up its market to African products, with provisions of duty free access to 95 per cent of the products produced by the least developed African countries.
China will work together with Africa on climate change issues, covering areas such as satellite weather monitoring, development and utilisation of new energy sources, prevention and control of desertification and urban environmental protection. Beijing will develop 100 clean energy projects for Africa covering solar power, bio-gas and small hydro-power plants.
Chinese officials have said that Beijing pursued a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of African countries.
"Africa is fully capable of solving its own problems, in an African way," Mr. Wen observed during his speech. He added that China "has never attached any political strings... to assistance to Africa."

The guy that owns the delaership owns several others and last I knew was in good with several other dealerships in MD so it shouldnt take the full 12 weeks. I havent lived in MD for the past 9 years, Im in the army. But I still call it home, my mom stills lives in Mt. Savage and I try to make it back there a few times a year. The soonest I might be back is in March. I can let you know when Im headed back, maybe meet up. There isnt too many WRX/STIs out there. I always feel odd when Im back there in mine or the wifes car.

When speaking with representatives from local charities and nonprofit groups for this week's cover story, we asked a loaded question: What's more valuable to your organization, monetary donations or volunteer hours?
The Rescue Mission's Paul
LaDolce pointed out that donated dollars help meet immediate needs, but volunteers, often committing hours each week for an extended period of time, help keep groups functioning in a different way.
Chris Benton, with Vera House, said it's a personal choice that each donor makes: time or money.
But both are immensely important, especially in the uncertain economic climate of 2011.
For Meals on Wheels, however, the uncertain environmental climate has proven a higher need for volunteer drivers with four-wheel drive.
The dumping of snow Syracuse received in the first weeks of December forced Meals on Wheels to close, said Katherine Lowe, communications director.
"Our drivers just couldn't get down the side streets," said Lowe.
The organization has plans in place for such occasions, of course -- the 728 clients Syracuse Meals on Wheels serves are given "blizzard packs" with two days' worth of food in case of emergencies.
And Meals on Wheels has only closed twice in the last four years, Lowe added.
But when it comes to providing meals for older community members and shut-ins, why take any chances?
Lowe expressed a need for more volunteer drivers with vehicles that can handle the snowy Syracuse streets, and reminded us that there is no minimum amount of time one can donate as a volunteer.
See pages 7 and 8 for each orgnization's website, where volunteer info is available.

Ando, Badmanner Thymes Cafe, Cafe, Coffee, Parramatta, Sydney West
Ando: Cravings for sugar kicked in and Belle and I were craving cronuts! I blame D-Lam for bringing home a dozen doughnuts a few days ago! It's been a while since my last cronut at The Lab so I knew I had to get some! Badmanner Thymes have been posting cronut pics all this week on Instagram, so I knew where to go. Located on Horwood Place, the cafe wasn't hard to find. Just look out for the outdoor seating arrangement and patio heaters and you're there.
We spoke to Scott the owner and he told us that the cafe is still under trial. The official opening will be in around two weeks time. Beverages and pastries are only available at the moment, but with a kitchen makeover Badmanner Thymes plan to offer breakfast and lunch options as well. Communal tables will also be introduced and the outdoor seating will be upgraded.
The cronuts sold here are sourced from Brewtown Newtown and cost $4.5 for one or $6.5 with a coffee. Belle and I ordered a Sugar Glazed Cronut and a Jam Filled Cronut and combined it with a Large Cappuccino and a Soy Chai Latte. Note there is additional surcharge for soy and large beverages. The cronuts arrived at our table heated up along with a pair of cutlery. The sweetness of the cronuts was what we needed. Tulip.Shi beans are used here and it was my first time trying Tulip.Shi Specialty Coffee Beans. Which I later found out that it is a creation by prize-winning Barista and Latte Art champion Frankie Shi.
With it's official opening in a few weeks, we can't wait to return. Check out their Facebook page for updates.
2/1 Horwood Place, Parramatta, NSW 2150
Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 7am till 4pm.

Recent Finger Lakes Reviews
Wonderfully Peaceful...
Our family of four stayed here a few years ago...not certain if the owner is still the same, but...we had a wonderful time at this spacious, quiet, well kept home. The lake and dock area are across a street and down a set of stairs and very private with western views. The interior was perfect for a family to spread out or be all together. We particularly enjoyed the covered deck out front with views of the lake and a big table to hang out, play games and be protected on rainy days/nights. Great dark sky area for star gazing!! A bit of a drive from the stores and restaurants, etc, but so peaceful, it's worth it.
Perfect for a family reunion!
This was our second stay at "The Farm" outside of Dansville, NY. The house and grounds are in excellent shape and provide ample space for our extended family. The house is very comfortable. It is evident that the owner, Mr. Ceasar put a lot of thought into the remodeling he did on this property to make it very accomodating for large groups. Our group had young children who enjoyed playing on the swing set and using all the toys in the garage. The adults had a great time driving the six passenger ATV on the trials on the property. Stony Brook State Park is close by and is wonderful for hiking, swimming, and picnicing. If you visit in the summer there are farm markets to buy fresh product. Check out the ice cream stand on the south end of Dansville!

Congressman Kildee on Vassar plan: 'These kids are in danger'
Many in our state are closely watching events in Vassar, Michigan. The community 65 miles northeast of Lansing in Genesee County could become the temporary home of 60 to 120 mostly young refugees from Central America.
A human services agency, Wolverine Human Services, is offering to temporarily house and care for the arrivals.
On Monday, that proposal spurred about 50 protesters, some waving flags and carrying guns, who called for an end to what they described as "an invasion." The asylum seekers are part of a dramatic increase in young people seeking refuge in the United States. Many are fleeing drug-related gang violence in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. More than 50,000 unaccompanied minors have appeared at the U.S. border so far this year.
Our next guest represents Vassar in Congress. Democratic Representative Dan Kildee hopes the U.S. Health and Human Services agency accepts Wolverine's offer. To explain why and to discuss other aspects of this complicated and emotional issue, Current State speaks with Congressman Dan Kildee.

M. Vijayakumar hands over 25 student pilot licences
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The government is planning to convert the State-owned Rajiv Gandhi Academy for Aviation Technology (RGATT) into a national institute to cater to the needs of aviation sector,
Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs M. Vijayakumar has said.
He was addressing a gathering after handing over student pilot licences (SPL) to the first batch of 25 RGATT students here.
Mr. Vijayakumar, who is also in-charge of the aviation portfolio, said the government wanted to make the academy a prestigious one. The government had worked out plans to expand the activities of the academy to two more cities in the State, he said.
The crisis in the aviation sector will not have any impact on job opportunities, he said. "Air travel is on the increase in the country and the demand for pilots is also on the rise," he said.
Academy Executive Director V. Thulasidas, who presided over the function, said the aim of the academy was to provide quality training at affordable rates to young, aspiring pilots who wished to take up a career in the burgeoning aviation sector.
Mr. Thulasidas said the academy had plans to start aircraft maintenance engineering, aeronautical engineering, flight despatcher and cabin crew courses. The academy, with three modern aircraft, needed two single-engine and one multi-engine aircraft to impart training to the students, he said. The academy is looking for a separate airstrip and campus to expand its activities.
The Minister presented the 'single golden stripe' to those who obtained the SPL. For the aspiring pilots, it was a dream-come-true and four months of dedication and hard work.
"I am happy to get the SPL as it is the first step towards taking up flying as a career. I look forward to the next leg of training," said Arya L.A., who had studied in the Malayalam medium and passed out from DBHS Vamanapuram and St. Johns Nalanchira.
Her father, Anil Kumar G., an Education Department official; mother, Latha L.R., a schoolteacher and brother Aravind A. were present to witness the event. "It is a proud moment for all of us as she is from a rural background and was still able to make it," Ms. Latha said. Pooja Vasant was the other girl student in the batch.
Forty hours of flying is needed to obtain the private pilot licence (PPL), 200 hours for commercial pilot licence and 160 hours for commercial pilot licence for PPL holders.
Varkala Radhakrishnan, Panniyan Ravindran, MPs; V. Sivankuty, MLA; Councillor Ratheendran, Airport Director N. Nagraj; Transport Secretary K.R. Jyothilal; Peter Abraham; Chief Flying Instructor T.J. Joseph and Air Worthiness Officer Chandrababu offered felicitation.

I came back to change my spelling and put the k in Dektol but it was too late to edit.
10%-20%? Pull the other leg, it's got bells on. Maybe 20% greater capacity if one mixes it up and prints straight through to exhaustion, something I have never, ever managed to do in 30+ years of on again off again darkroom work. But tray life of the working solution? I'd say that is dramatically better.
Plus I like the lack of staining (I DO get black deposits - maybe not "stains" as they do wipe off with water, but they're a mess anyway - with Dektol) and I like the tonality I get slightly better. LPD costs more but lasts, in my experience, dramatically longer. I'm staying with LPD, at least for non-warm-tones on neutral papers.
