I've never had someone mandate that something be personalized. I do have a Polaroid that I took with someone that is also personalized from a long time ago attached here (though I'm cropping myself out)!

I still paid him, even though I knew I was getting a little shafted on the price we agreed on .
I didn't care, I had no intention of selling it. Eighteen years later I still feel the
same way.
That Springsteen is awesome. Awesome!
Also, I must retract what i said about earlier. There was 1 person who mandated my name when they signed for me...Judi Dench. I really didn't/don't mind though.
Hey Dom, any thoughts on whether the "All Access VIP" package would be worth it at the National Collectors Convention?
The show: http://nsccshow.com/
Some interesting names, but I have no idea if they are common signers or not. I'd be interested in guys like Jim Brown and Dr. J. Probably Deion Sanders also.
I've never gotten into autographs at all, but since this is in Cleveland I'm thinking of taking my father in law. Not in love with the idea of standing in line for hours, so was looking at the VIP and thought you might have some general insight.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
--Oscar Wilde
See what their experience was in year's past.
I would think you'll be okay here- these people are there to sign autographs so it should be a good buy.
VIP's for rock concerts are quite different- I'd always be very cautious with meet and greets and such. They are a totally different experience with each band.
Something like you're asking about- see if there are reviews, if not you should still be okay. You just want to make sure you get the sigs you want and that the package gives you an advantage in getting them.

Your inscription trick is cool. Most of the autograph hounds carried glossies and then just applied acetone to remove the inscription.
Robin Givens wouldn't sign her nude photos, so guys would draw bikinis on her in Sharpie, have her sign it, and then apply the acetone to remove the bikini lol...
Why these celebrities care is beyond me...
You could bring a stack of photos to Brad Pitt and he'd sit there, for 20 minutes, examining each photo- I'll sign this one, not going to sign this one...just strange. Though, he is one gracious signer, I'll add that.

Pele was a bust for me. Apparently it was a diaster...
Thankfully I didn't waste too much time here. I saw how crazy the line was an hour before the singing and bowed out. He had a couple of other appearances that I tried for. He briefly signed at 1 (thought it didn't make it to me) and all of the other ones he refused. No wonder his autograph is valuable.
Here's the latest acquisition- a Robert Plant signed guitar with a lyric from Stairway to Heaven. The cool thing is he added "Agh!" afterwards, showing his own tiredness of the song, which is well documented. Pretty sweet.

Was able to get this the other day. I would've loved a ball instead, but it wasn't an option as they had strict rules. I think the signature looks great though!

Harbor freight did sell smaller size tanks for their portable welding setup.might be worth checking out.
Our local volunteer fire station bought their own compressor to fill their SCBA tanks, many stations have them so they can refill right after a use. If your guys are anything like ours, toss a six pack of beer or a pizza at them and they will have no problem filling your tanks. Heck, we had a frozen food distributer catch fire many yarons ago, once it was out one of the guys wife brought a stack of pizzas and 2 liters. They had to finish the pizza before they started dousing the fire when it restarted from a hot spot!
I was just given a chicom 177 cal. spring gun. Its built like a tank. Any ideas what I have and how fast it is?
Driswalds. My guess is you have a B3. It should throw a .177 pellet about 1000fps. They make a special scope for spring piston pellet guns that can take the forward recoil beating these older guns have. The newer piston guns are using gas like nitrogen instead of a steel spring. With a 10gr pellet you will still have 16ft lbs of energy at 60 yards.Those rifles are good for small game hunting but make a lot of noise. The newer gas piston guns are much more quite. I have two spring piston rifles but they seldom gets used. They would be great for SHTF use since they need no CO2, or air to operate. Go to "Flying Dragon Airguns" and look at what Mike has. You might see a copy of you rifle there.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Hey RailBuggy, it depends. There's a B-1 that is a 'break-barrel' and a B-3 that has an 'under-lever'.
I have 3 B-3s; 2 .177s and 1 .22. The .22 is really something else for an airgun. I've used it to do bad things to small 'gators. I've never had to shoot a critter twice.
A 10.1gr .22 pellet at 650fps gives 14.1 ft/lbs of energy, so as an 'Urban Sniper' a '.22 in the tear duct' from this particular gun just might be a fight stopper.
Yea Hunter. My B-3 is the older model that was known for taking fingers when loading. I was going to do the drill a hole thing thru the receiver with the chain and rod safety fix but never got around to it. Bought the gun from a neighbor kid for $10 back in 05.
My other piston air rifle is the Beeman Grizzy X2 break barrel that came with .177 &.22 Barrels.
The trigger pull on the Disco is heavy. I'm looking for a cheap fix now.
I'm shooting the cheap CPHP 14.3gr 22 pellets. The book says at 870fps I should have 23 foot pounds at 5 yards and 15ftlbs at 70 yards.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
a good project for gunco would be to do one of those large cal airguns --
seems like i saw a 45 cal airgun somewhere that had enough wallop to take a deer at short range--
Quote from Bob:Birds at 75 yards would seem to be more .22 fodder than larger.... The .30 cal is a kewl caliber, but pellets are expensive ad the gun uses a LOT of air to produce the kind of velocities you need for long range work.... Don't forget, at 950 fps, you get 2 FPE per grain of pellet weight, and you need about 1 cu.in. of air for each FPE.... An FD-PCP only has a total of about 240 CI of air available per fill from 1500 psi down to 1000 (it's useful range for a 4% ES), whereas a Disco has nearly twice that from 2000 psi down to 1200....
What Bob was saying is that it is doable, but it will take a lot of air making the shot count low.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
maybe a .50 cal air gun firing a 22 pellet in a sabot?--LOL--
I was thinking a cane gun running off CO2 or PCP.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.

2014 Sport - Current Mileage
Have had the Ram for about a week. Now have about 750 miles. In town driving, I have been seeing about 16mpg. Highway has been 18.5-19mpg. Terrain on the highway was mild hills, nothing big.
While driving back to town (about 100 miles) I was pulling a small load of about 1,000# (hardly can be called towing). While pulling at about 60-65 mph, I saw an average of 18.3 (which is 1 mpg less than on the way).
This was with the Hemi, MDS, 8 spd transmission and 3.92 gears. Now this was not flat Kansas or Oklahoma but it was not ridiculous climbs either.
are you manually shifting or using tow/haul mode? Or just letting the trans do its own thing?
nice, thanks for the info...waiting on my 14 sport with 3.92s...
are you a heavy on the throttle? without the trailer at least?
What octane fuel are you using and what brand?
If I was pulling a heavy load, I probably would have done it differently but in this case I was using ConocoPhillips 87 octane. I was allowing the transmission to do its own thing rather than tow / haul mode or manual shifting since it was a light load. I did not use cruise and I was easy on the throttle with the trailer.
If a heavy load or big aero load, I would have used 89 and tow / haul.

My family and i are regular visitors to Searles. Love it. Lovely site, friendly staff, great location. Normally stay in the Platinum Lodge with Hot Tub- twice a year- but as it was already booked up we stayed in the Elite Country Cabin. Only fault is the fridge backs on to the wall of master bedroom and makes a hell of a racket at night! They should be moved onto walls which are NOT next to bedrooms! Also we were situated next to a generator this time and the constant humming at night was quite annoying. But i admit to being a very light sleeper. All in all accomodation was good. Will be back again in October for our 2nd visit of the year- but staying in the Platinum Lodge. Our favourite. Prices of lodges do, however seem to be going up and up -which may put people off going. Certainly seen a large increase this year! Be nice if Searles did a discount for people such as ourselves, who have been frequent visitors for 26 years now. Loyal customers should be rewarded. But overall i would highly recommend for a great holiday and great location right near the beach.
Lovely time at Searles, staff excellent (reception, maintenance, children s entertainment & cleaners) facilities and caravan very clean. Very good children's entertainment. Pool very well maintained and staff on duty all the time, lovely temperature of outside pool. Shop very well stocked and very helpful staff.
Three negatives, we were there in June and not all of the food outlets were open plus the price of the bar drinks was a shock and after the first night we decided to enjoy the entertainment without purchasing drinks! An improvement would be a family size toaster and improved cooking utensils ( no slotted spoon provided etc.)
We loved the entertainment children thoroughly enjoyed it. There is something going on all through the day until late evening. There is soft play area and swimming pool. We would love to go back to Searles to try the outdoor pool too. Overall great holidays! And right next to the beach too...
We were pleased with most of the Resort.
My husband and I took my daughter and our grandson away for a few days and were absolutley delighted with the park and its facilities, it had something for everyone and was always kept very clean.
The pool was great and the pool staff were very friendly.
Only used this as a base so did not use the facilities but looked around & pool area looked lovely & reception staff were very friendly & helpful. Caravan was spotless & very comfy,went early June so not many people around,imagine when full it might get quite crowded.
Had a lovely break.
Silver lodge 8 was very disappointing, felt like it needed a complete update. Extremely disappointed with accommodation and attitude of reception staff. Could only praise entertainment staff, did a good job.
Location great but the whole site is just run down
Apart from a hiccup with our accommodation when we arrived we enjoyed a wonderful time at Searles. We will be back!
Our holiday was good but this was nothing to do with Searles! It was the company and everything outside of the Searles resort that made it good! Would never return here!
we booked at last minute and were given a lovely clean new caravan. The entertainment could be a bit better. An outdoor childrens play area would be good.
We stayed in 183 and definitely needed some repairs to it. Kitchen tap span round and dripped, shower tray didn't drain so we had to get someone out (surely that should have been noticed before we arrived), table legs were half stripped down to the metal, just was very shabby in places.
Lovely caravan but lack of food outlets after 8:30 let it down. Even chippy wasn't open at 10:30 on sat night.
We really enjoyed our holiday at Searles. The facilities on site were great, the staff were helpful and friendly and the caravan was so clean and in good condition.
The only comment I would make would be to start the young children's evening entertainment 30 mins earlier and perhaps have a bit more variation in the entertainment offered to them - there was only one tots disco for the whole week we were there. Just a small comment, otherwise it was great thank you!

I bought these to switch into after a day of backpacking. Light weight and do not take up much space in my pack. I was concerned that the sole may be too flimsy BUT they are not...I could walk comfortably on rocks etc just fine. Much lighter than the teva's I used to carry.
Highly recommend

Being a diabetic, I needed something to protect my feet at the beach. I also wear a size 14 so I was limited as to the availability of shoes. This shoe looked pretty good and the price was right so I gave it a try! This is an excellent shoe! It is very comfortable and wicks the water away. There may be better water shoes but this one is well worth the price!

I've been lap swimming for many years but recently had hip surgery (hip "resurfacing") and was looking for additional ways to help the healing process. I discovered that lap running really helps loosen up my operated hip (it's a good all-around workout, really) and these are the perfect shoes to use for that purpose. They'd also be ideal for anyone doing water aerobics. One point I'd like to make: some posters are complaining that the inserts come loose and tend to slide forward inside the shoes, and that's true. But I would advise AGAINST permanently gluing the inserts in place. They're designed to be removable so that the shoes can thoroughly air dry before the next use. Making the inserts non-removable would prevent complete drying and might facilitate the growth of nasty mold and bacteria inside the shoes. If you really feel the need to secure the inserts, then using small velcro strips would be a far better idea. That said, I'm leaving mine alone; I can live with it. Overall I'm very pleased with these water shoes.

I bought these for a trip to a beach where there is a lot of coral, having cut my feet before. These shoes worked great! No issues; stayed on my feet in the surf, true to size. No problem with the insole, it does come out but it needs to as it actually filters the sand away from your feet and you simply take it out and wash it off.
Just perfect...

Product description
A wartime romance, survival saga and murder mystery set in rural France during the First World War, from the bestselling author of 'Operation Mincemeat' and 'Agent Zig-Zag'. Four young British soldiers find themselves trapped behind enemy lines at the height of the fighting on the Western Front in August 1914. Unable to get back to their units, they shelter in the tiny French village of Villeret, where they are fed, clothed and protected by the villagers, including the local matriarch Madame Dessenne, the baker and his wife. The self-styled leader of the band of fugitives, Private Robert Digby, falls in love with the 20-year-old-daughter of one of his protectors, and in November 1915 she gives birth to a baby girl. The child is just six months old when someone betrays the men to the Germans. They are captured, tried as spies and summarily condemned to death. Using the testimonies of the daughter, the villagers, detailed town hall records and, most movingly, the soldiers' last letters, Ben Macintyre reconstructs an extraordinary story of love, duplicity and shame - ultimately seeking to discover through decades of village rumour the answer to the question, 'Who betrayed Private Digby and his men?' In this new updated edition the mystery is finally solved.

'Idol' Winner Hicks Settles for No. 2
The "American Idol" winner's debut moved 298,000 copies in its first week of release, a pretty strong debut. It was good enough for the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart, behind rapper Young Jeezy's "The Inspiration," which sold 352,000 copies its first week.
Hicks is the second contestant from "Idol's" 2006 season to see an album hit No. 2 in recent weeks.
Daughtry's first-week numbers are even a little better than those of Hicks; the self-titled "Daughtry" moved 304,000 copies in week one and has since gone platinum (1 million units shipped); it sits at No. 7 this week.
It was a good week for other former "Idol" contestants as well.
Additionally, season two contestant Kimberley Locke is No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary singles chart with her rendition of "Jingle Bells," and season three's

52 year old man | Brea, CA, USA | Seeking women 45-50 in California, United States
Life goes on..............
My first love was music. I've stuck with it from the cradle to the concert hall and have savored every moment of it. All types are welcome, except rap, polka, and heavy punk. Laughter is something I look forward to on a regular basis. Just a phone call to a friend can change my whole attitude. I like to water and snow ski, camp, hike, explore, ride dirt bikes, target shoot, rock climb, all outdoor activities. My spare time now is spent studying and practicing music for a band I recently joined. Still have the day job. Basically I like to stay in when I have the chance and rent a movie after cooking a killer dinner and just count my blessings. A woman who enjoys the finer things in life as well as the simple things is what I'm looking for. Feel game?

Favorite food would have to be beef. My Uncle was a butcher and that was what was for dinner. I like the outdoors so blue is my color. I'm a big fan of rainy nights because they make me frisky and I don't disappoint.
I find entertainment in just about everything I participate in. Music is my first luv and I am currently in two bands and have a blast. I do like movies, bicycling, concerts and Angel games. I'm a decent cook but also enjoy going out.
I'm a big Robert Ludlum fan and also read Stephen King as time permits.

Archived Story
Church News for Thursday, Sept. 19By Staff Reports Published 10:16am Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Cedar Grove Church
God is good!
Announcements: Friday Night Prayer Meeting starts at 7 p.m.
Specials today were brought by Sis. Sandra Carroll, who sang "Paid in Full" and Sis. Stacey Wyatt, who sang "What Love is This." We loved hearing mother and daughter sing today.
Prayer concerns: Felicia Patterson, Josh Hayes, Janet Wyatt, Mary McGuire, Rebecca Martin, Joyce Scott and Jada Mosely.
Pastor Jeff Carroll's sermon came from Revelation 14:14-20 titled "The Harvest." The harvest is the church and it is ripe for reaping and gathering in preparation for meeting the Lord. If you wait too long, you can miss the harvest and miss salvation. The opportunity is not tomorrow, next week, next month or even next year; the opportunity is now, the present. Today is the day of salvation. Little do we know how quickly our opportunity can be taken away when we least expect it.
Not even the Son knows when his return will be; only the Father knows. Think about it: If Christ was to come back today, or it was your time to die, what you have done for Jesus so far is all you have. You can't go back. There are no do-overs in life; it is what it is. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The way you are found at the Rapture is the way you will be. When the harvest comes, all prophecies will have been fulfilled. Sin will have run its course, and as we know, it is so prevalent throughout the world. The world is ripe with sin and sinners, seeking the devil and what the world has to offer.
Jesus is coming; Jesus is coming. When the reapers come, will you be in the prime of your spirituality? How do you stand today? Do not delay, for the Rapture and harvest are nearing. Be on alert and focused on Christ's return.
Love to all from Cedar Grove Church. God bless and have a great week!
Mount Carmel No. 1
Our Sunday morning service was such a blessing. We are thankful for all who came to worship and praise the Lord. Bro. Derrell began he service with the baptism of Danielle Hays and Morgan Giles. Pray for these girls as they begin their life walk with the Lord.
Bro. Derrel's message from 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 was titled "The Change." If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. A change took place in our Vacation Baible School this year, and also a few Sundays ago when two little girls accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Old things passed away and all things became new, a new creature in Christ. Thank God for our relationship with Jesus Christ. We are thankful that he took our sins upon himself and hung on the cross that we may be made righteous with God. Now is the day of salvation.
On Sunday evening, the message was "The King Who Forgot the Golden Rule," from 1 Kings 21:1-29. Ahab asked Naboth saying, "Give me thy vineyard that I may have it for a garden of herbs because it is near my house." Naboth did the right thing and said, "No, the vineyard was an inheritance from my father." This displeased Ahab, and Jezebel, his wife, said unto him, "Why is they spirit so sad? Naboth was stoned and is dead." Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard in order to possess it, but because Ahab sold himself to evil, the Lord promised to bring evil upon him. Ahab humbled himself before God, so God did not bring the evil in Ahab's days. The message: Let God fight your battles.
Upcoming events:
Everyone who will, please meet in the prayer room just after Sunday school to pray for the morning worship service.
On Wednesday night, Bro. Derrell will begin a study about the life of Paul. This service starts at 7 p.m.
The Prime-Timers lunch will be held on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 11 a.m. We will have a short devotion from Bro. Nolin Mauldin, then fellowship and enjoy the noon meal.
Young people, remember the youth rally on Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. at Rock Springs Baptist Church.
On Sept. 29, the ladies of the church will be honored with lunch following the morning message.
Please pray for our sick and all of the prayer requests of our church. We ask that you remember us when you pray.
We gathered in the Lord's name to worship him, and then departed to serve him. See you in church on Sunday.

Re: trying to replace Norton Internet Security 05
Maybe you mistaked downloaded the beta NIS 2007 that are already expired, I got it from
and click on Try Now. I checked my task manager for processes and memory usage for NIS 2007 compared to previous NIS 2006.
NIS 2007 at idle have 26 processes and 156Mb memory usage compared to 40-45 processes and 290Mb memory usage with NIS 2006, at load with full scan NIS 2007 have 27 processes and 190-240Mb memory usage compared to 41-46 processes and 370-410Mb memory usage with NIS 2006.
I am very impressive at NIS 2007 used lots less processes and memory, loaded into memory instant, instant phishing protection which are very much faster than Internet Explorer 7 phishing protection took 5 to 7 seconds to scan a website on my laptop. I noticed Ad-ware and pop-up blockers as well as anti-spam filter are absented in NIS 2007 while previous NIS 2005 and 2006 had the features build in it, I think it the reason Symantec listened to beta testers and customers feedback complainted about the bloatware and reources hogs, they decided to removed 3 pointless features and write from scratched. Symantec finally did the right thing to removed 3 useless features because both Internet Explorer 6 and 7 already has the best pop-up blockers and also you can
create spam filter in Outlook Express 6
that do better job than any AV programs bundled anti-spam filters. It a shame they removed Ad-ware blockers, they are very good but there are alternative free ad-ware you can find on Internet.

BP has been a major supplier of energy to the U.S. military, and in 2012 sold more than $1 billion of mostly fuel products to the Defense Department and other U.S. agencies, including the General Services Administration and the Labor Department. Christine Tiscareno, an analyst at with S&P Capital IQ in London, said being ineligible for new contracts won't dramatically affect the company because BP signed a round of contracts in February that won't be affected.
The much greater impact, analysts said, will be if the suspension drags on and BP misses out on leasing new public lands to drill.
"How big this is depends on how long it lasts," said Phil Weiss, an analyst at Argus Research. "It's a negative that they can't participate in (today's sale), but it's not a big concern. If it happens two times, or three times, or ten times, it's a much bigger concern."
An EPA official said Wednesday that the plea agreement includes a provision for how BP can satisfy the concerns that stand in the way of the suspension being lifted. That order, if the court accepts it during sentencing, would give BP 60 days to address the conditions that led to violations. If the government approves the plan, it becomes part of BP's criminal probation.
But the suspension could still remain in effect while civil claims against BP move forward, said the EPA official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss terms of the agreement. In addition to the criminal proceedings, BP faces huge civil claims covering the billions of dollars in civil penalties the U.S. government and the Gulf states are seeking from it because of environmental damage.
A trial in the civil case is scheduled for early next year. Attorney General Eric Holder and the states have vowed to press their case and BP has vowed to fight it. However, negotiations have been under way in an effort to reach a settlement. At the time of the criminal settlement, Holder said the government intended to show in the upcoming civil case that BP was grossly negligent in causing the spill.
Associated Press writers Bob Barr in London, Jonathan Fahey in New York and Pete Yost in Washington contributed.

Warm, analytical, quirky and I will teach you tennis...
I am a native New Yorker who grew up on a diet of Little League, musical theater and ultra liberal 2x weekly Hebrew school. I relish my morning coffee and paper, rainy days, listening to my little nieces chatter and my weekly basketball league. I am a fan of NPR, several unmentionable TLC shows, reading the Sunday paper (selected sections) and kicking some butt in tennis (former College player!). In the summer I head up to the adirondacks where I can be found reading fiction and eating overcooked chicken with my nutty new york family. You: grounded yet capable of vulnerability, femme/ish, smart, good appetite, generous, assertive, size 7 shoe even better! I am looking for someone I can share my life (and desserts:)) with.

white bar tape on a gravel grinder? You must like brown. :lol:

white bar tape on a gravel grinder? You must like brown. :lol:
The stem is a Nitto.... the integrated stop makes for a really solid set up.
It is a great bike... the hurricane tyres are really versatile as they roll out very quickly on the road @ 75 psi and when I hit the trails will drop them down into the low 40's so they get a better bite.
I'm not gravel grinding! lmao... city cycling.
Besides, Salsa does it so... it must be right!:
question about gravel bikes:
I have a Pake C'mute steel cross/commuter that I built up as a mutt with random parts. it weighs a ton (at least it does to me, 150 pounds of skin and bones)! It has friction 2x9 shifting. I mostly use if for commuting to work but I also take it on long road rides and I would like to do some gravel grinders starting with the Texas Chainring Massacre in January. This bike can handle 40mm+ tires but I think it's overkill. I do not have the space or the budget for multiple bikes, so I need a true do-all bike that can handle the above duties. I have a mountain bike for true off-road riding.
I would like to get a more road-ish bike that can handle a rear rack for commuting, but will take some gravel-worthy tires for the occasional gravel race. I have been eyeing the Novara Verita and, as an REI employee, I can get a great deal on it. I can probably sell my C'Mute and get a Verita with that money. the Verita should be able to handle 28mm tires with the included fenders and I think I can get some 32mm knobbies in there without fenders. I am going to experiment with that today. the medium Verita has a 540mm ETT, 70.5° HA and a 73° SA. that's a slack HA! if 32mm knobbies fit in that frame and fork, would the geo of that bike be suitable for the occasional gravel race, or would the handling suck?
The Shimano BR-R650 brake is a long reach brake with a reach long enough for a 700x32 tire. If the fork and chainstays are designed for a larger tire, a 700x32 should fit.
The slack head-tube angle might cause the steering to feel slow, but that's not a critical issue on gravel.
The bike might be ideal for you.
Here's my Salsa Vaya on the Farnington Canal Trail last summer.

1990 Bianchi Axis. Pics to follow...
I would like to point out here that I believe "gravel grinding" will probably be the bike riding of the future due to more roads, particularly in rural areas, being abandoned due to lack of maintenance caused by budget cuts and lack of resources.
Fitting some fatter tires to the typical Randonneur / Touring bike and hitting gravel.
Dry gravel here in SoCal.

I've posted this picture before, but here's my Cross Check. Was intended for chip n' seal riding and not a true gravel grinder, though a swap to fatter tires would fix that. LBS and I worked out a build about about a year ago with 105 groupset. Other than normal seat adjustments, I've changed very little.
Once the weather turned nice and the crud was washed off the roads, I did drop to 25mm tires from the 32s that are shown. I did redo the decals so they pop a little more.
As of yesterday I can now call this my gravel grinder:
I took it out yesterday on the Oregon's Perry Roubaix route. I didn't really get the whole gravel grinder scene before, but now that I've done it I do see. It was a blast.
My 700x35 Schwalbe Marathon Supremes worked great for this route, even when the gravel turned chunky with no bare strips in the road. I'm not sure they're the kind of tire I would recommend, but they worked.
My rear shift cable snapped 32 miles into the ride and I ended up limping back to the start with the chain on the 14T rear cog. I was really glad to have a triple at that point.
What bars are those? They look very compact.
I'm going to try and sell my redline conquest and get something steel for gravel/touring.
Those are the stock bars from the Jake. I think it's a trick of the camera angle. They're not quite as compact as they look there.

Here is the Reds Hot Stove League show report for 1-5-10. Marty and Thom started the show by talking about how it is 6 weeks away from the Reds first ST in Arizona. Thom said the Reds caravan is coming up at the end of the month. Marty said the Reds signed Josh Anderson, late of the Royals, to a minor league contract with an invite to major league camp. Marty said that Walt is back from an overseas vacation and it appears his plan of action is inaction. Walt is going to wait until all the big names are signed then pick up players whose prices will come down. Thom said that he thought the Reds should have signed Kenny Lofton a couple of years ago (Ill bet he had a young body too. Of course it would have saved us from Corey Patterson) Marty said that the Cards are close to re-signing Matt Holliday based on the comments made by La Russa the other day. (And it is a done deal after all.)
The first caller asked if the Reds were going to leave their minor league team in Sarasota and how was Joe doing in regards to voting for the Frick award. Marty said that Joe has made the final 10 for the 3rd straight year. Marty trashed the voting procedure that was done on Facebook. Marty also said that the Reds minor league team will move to Bradenton.
The next caller asked if the Reds will have some minor league teams come in and play at GAB while they are on road trips. Marty said other teams like the Padres (and Cubs) have done that before. He said thats not something you want to do every year and the Reds did something similar when they played the minor league futures teams in North Carolina and Dayton. Thom said that its probably a money loser once you figure in travel expenses, hotel rooms and staffing the stadium.
After commercial, the next caller asked Marty about the signings and trades that have been made so far and why he thinks Ron Santo isnt in the HOF. Marty thinks that he should be in the HOF and he also thinks that Boras screwed up with Holliday because he believes re-signing with StL wasnt in the cards (no pun intended). He also called out Jason Bay as the most mercenary player in baseball for saying that signing with the Mets was at the top of the list. He doesnt think playing in that park is what he really wanted. Thom used David Wrights bad year as an example and also finds it tough to believe Bay really wanted to play there.
The next caller asked if the Reds would re-sign Jeff Keppinger. Marty said he didnt know he was a free agent but doesnt think hell come back here. He then said that the Reds have done nothing to address their needs - power hitter, shortstop and a starter. He also said that John Fay told them during commercial that the Sarasota team is going to go to Lynchburg, VA and not Bradenton.
The next caller asked if the Reds had a chance to sign Miguel Tejada. Thom said he is probably too expensive but the longer he goes without being signed, the more his price comes down and the better shot the Reds have of signing him. Thom and Marty think hes a good player and Marty says hes fundamentally sound and can still be productive.
Marty said that the Red Sox signed Adrian Beltre and that makes the Mike Lowell situation interesting and they will probably showcase him in ST. Thom is wondering why the Sox spent so much to sign him since hes coming off an injury.
After commercial, the next caller said that she didnt vote for Joe this year and doesnt see the point since he hasnt got in yet. Thom said that the fans votes get him in the door and after that its up to the committee.
The next caller asked about bringing in Orlando Hudson. Thom said hed be expensive and hes never played anywhere besides 2nd and the Reds are committed to keeping Brandon at 2nd. The caller asked if the Reds could convert him to SS and play hi behind Janish (Huh?! If you actually spend eleventey million dollars on Hudson you sure as heck arent having him back up Janish.) Thom said he probably wont go anywhere if he isnt playing 2nd.
The next caller asked what transactions the Reds have made. He also would like to trade Harang and he loves Janish. He thinks Janish should bat 8th and Brandon should bat 2nd (Ah, ah. SS bats 2nd. And Brandon bats cleanup, dude) He also wants to know about Gomes. Marty said Gomes is still out there. He said the Reds re-signed Razor Ramon and restructured Rolens deal they also signed Nix to a minor league deal.
The next caller asked when Travis Wood would be ready. Thom said hes probably in the mix as the 5th starter. Marty said that Walt said at RedsFest that barring a signing or trade, Wood would get strong consideration for the 5th spot.
After commercial, the next caller asked if Cozart or Frazier would get a look at SS. Thom said they might be pretty good options. Out of nowhere, Marty said that they should take a serious look at Juan Francisco since hes destroying Dominican League pitching (Seems like someone has been saying that we dont need any more left handed hitting. I wonder who that was?) Thom seems to think that RH hitters arent a priority with Stubbs, Brandon, Rolen and Razor Ramon. Marty said that someone said its better to have a LH hitting stud than a RH hitting stiff. ( )
The next caller asked if Stubbs will make the team. Marty said hes the incumbent but hell have to play well enough to keep the job. Marty thought he did an impressive job last year so hell be the starter but if its not him and the alternative is Willy T., then God bless Drew Stubbs. (Amen!) The caller said he didnt want to see Willy or Dickerson.
The next caller said that outside of putting Francisco in LF, he doesnt have a future on the team since hes stuck at 3rd behind Rolen for a few more years. Marty said he has a good point. The caller also said hed rather see Dickerson in CF than Willy T. Thom said thats safe to say and the guy everyone is forgetting is Heisey.
The next caller asked about the Anderson signing and he seems to be redundant. Marty said he is probably a AAA guy and he gives you more depth and competition.
The next caller wondered if the Reds would add some speed. (More Willy T.!!!!) Marty said they only have two legit base stealers in the lineup and thats Brandon and Stubbs. Bruce may run some but thats pretty much it. Thom said that based on a conversation he had with Eric Davis in ST, Bruce and Votto are more than capable of stealing more bases. He said Votto stole plenty while he was on rehab but when he got called back up, he didnt run at all.
The next caller asked if the Reds caravan will stop in Indiana. Marty said it will and Indianapolis should be on the list when it comes out in a week or so.
The next caller asked if the Reds would re-sign Gomes since he has such a good season in the time he played. He thinks hes worth $7-8M a year and hes just like Dunn except hes a better fielder. (Yikes) Marty and Thom said it was a stretch to compare him to Dunn.
Thus endeth the Reds Hot Stove League show report for 1-5-10. So let it be written. So let it be done.

Must-See Photo of the Day: Bones' Emily Deschanel in Black and White
The Finder director may be busy working on the first episode of the spin-off series, but he still had time to capture a photo of our favorite forensic anthropologist, Bones' Temperance Brennan.
Comparing himself to a famous Italian painter, he tweeted, "I do a much better job of capturing Emily Deschanel in light and shadow than Caravaggio."
Good to know he's got a backup plan if directing doesn't work out.

Digital Student Portfolios is a carefully researched book, a pleasure to read and continually reference, and an outstanding example of how effective technology use can deepen teaching and learning.
– Regie Routman, internationally respected educator and author of many books on literacy, including Read, Write, Lead: Breakthrough Strategies for Schoolwide Literacy Success (ASCD, 2014)
A practical, delightful handbook to seamlessly tracking student progress. I loved the examples and it was a joy to read!
– Kristen Swanson, Senior Research Leader at BrightBytes, #edcamp founder, and author of Unleashing Student Superpowers: Practical Teaching Strategies for 21st Century Students (Corwin, 2014)
Summary from Goodreads:
At principal Matt Renwick's K-5 elementary school, digital portfolios are comprehensive collections of student work that teachers and their students curate and reflect upon on a regular basis. Produced using highly flexible software, the portfolios are "receptacles for learning from the past, reflections on our current capacities, and goal-setting resources for the future."
In Digital Student Portfolios: A Whole School Approach to Connected Learning and Continuous Assessment, Renwick recounts the journey that he and his faculty are taking to overcome the limitations of report cards, permanent records and paper student folders and create a dynamic 21st century approach to chronicling student growth.
Renwick's narrative, fully supported by research and enriched with many examples of practice within his school, will appeal to school and teacher leaders across the grade levels who have an interest in the formative and summative power of web-based, multimedia student portfolios.
In his opening pages, Renwick writes:
"Through digital student portfolios, learners can document current understandings. They can make revisions as their thinking changes and their skill levels grow. Celebrations of their successes can be shared both locally and globally. The particular software and services used to create these portfolios is a subject of some interest, to be sure, but it is secondary to the big idea" itself: compiling a dynamic collection of information from many sources, in many forms and with many purposes, all aimed at presenting the most complete story possible of a student's learning experience.
"Different forms of media, such as audio, images, and video, in addition to text, can be inserted into this dynamic compilation of information. Digital student portfolios could be considered a map of a student's "journey toward excellence" (Routman, 2013). This documentation also serves as description of a school's own story. We write our own narrative as we work together – students, teachers, and parents – to realize our mission and vision."
From the Foreword by principals Jessica Johnson & Curt Rees:
Digital Student Portfolios is a fantastic resource that will help readers carry out meaningful change in their schools. It is also a practical resource based on current experiences of Matt, his school staff, and his students. In it you will find what worked well in their efforts to develop an effective method for documenting student learning. You will also read about the attempts that were not successful and how Matt and his staff made adjustments to their efforts to continue to develop a system that is beneficial for the learning of their students and staff members.
In order for any new initiative to be successful, a building must have the culture in place to support it. As you read how this journey took place in Matt's school, you will see how his leadership, staff practices, and opportunities for professional learning created a culture in which the teachers were comfortable to try new strategies, take risks, and grow together.

Biggs Says Technology at Start of New Bullish Cycle: Tom Keene
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Demand from Asia is spurring a bull market for computer and software makers, according to Barton Biggs, manager of the Traxis Partners LLC hedge fund.
"The big capital spending cycle, the last one, was from 1995 to 2000, and it was a transforming cycle," Biggs, the managing partner of New York-based Traxis and former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asset Management, said in an interview today on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene. "The developments in terms of the cloud, storage and a whole series of new devices is the beginning of a new technology cycle."
While the peak season for spending by technology companies was once Christmas, the cycle for semiconductor makers and companies such as Apple Inc. has changed to revolve more around the Chinese New Year in January or February, Biggs said
Biggs reiterated his view that equity markets may rise, citing increased projections for U.S. economic growth from Ed Hyman of ISI Group Inc. and Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Hatzius boosted his growth forecast for the U.S. economy last week to a rate of 2.7 percent from a previous forecast of 2 percent.
"I feel really good about the markets here," Biggs said. "Everything's not perfect. The Case-Shiller, in terms of U.S. housing, and the European problems haven't been solved. But nevertheless, it's pretty clear the world is emerging from the soft spot it was in and we're getting poised for pretty decent growth."
Smallest Since January
The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities climbed in September from a year earlier by the smallest amount since January, data last week showed. The S&P 500 fell to its low for the year, 1,022.58, on July 2 amid concern widening budget deficits in Europe could derail the global economic recovery. The benchmark measure of U.S. stocks slipped 0.2 percent to 1,222.51 as of 12:03 p.m. in New York today.
Biggs, who said his fund was up "low double-digits" in 2010, predicted that earnings by companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 could be higher than $93 a share in 2011. He said half his portfolio is in emerging markets, primarily in Asia, with substantial positions in China and Hong Kong.
"There are all kinds of doomsayers wandering around mumbling about a bubble that's going to burst," he said. "China's done a magnificent job of engineering a soft landing."
