39th Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game
39th Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game since 1979
Bears 42, Rams 27: December 11, 2006
The storyline entering this Monday Night Football game was whether Rex Grossman would remain the Bears' starting quarterback to the end of the season. But the tale told after the game would be much different.
Grossman was under fire at this point. He was the hottest-and coldest-quarterback in the NFL that season. He started the campaign on fire and looked to garner consideration for the game's Most Valuable Player award. Then for a stretch he couldn't seem to hit an open receiver-at times finishing with a quarterback rating barely over zero.
In this game against the Rams, there was no score in the first quarter. The Rams struck first on a touchdown pass from Marc Bulger to Torry Holt, over rookie defender Devin Hester, playing cornerback in an emergency.
Hester would strike back immediately on his own, returning the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown. The teams would trade scores, and the Bears would lead 14-13 at halftime by virtue of a missed extra point by the Rams. The Bears then scored three unanswered touchdowns, and Hester put the icing on the cake with a 96-yard kickoff return for another score, and the Bears won 42-27.
Grossman answered his critics, for this night anyway, turning in a strong performance with 200 yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps most memorable about this game, other than the dynamic Hester, was the electric atmosphere in the Edward Jones Dome. Fully 60% of the crowd supported the Bears, and cheered loudly before, during and after the game. NFL football is fun for America when the Bears are winning.

The laughter and chatter coming from the kitchen at Airline Drive Church of Christ sounds more like it belongs at a social event than a social service outreach.
Four nights a week, every week, volunteers happily convene there to prepare an evening meal for 60 to 80 people, although summertime crowds sometimes reach 150. It's a lot of work but never a chore for the volunteers.
Airline Drive Church of Christ charter member Nancy Doughty retired from her job a year ago and now helps out in the Shared Harvest Kitchen three to four days a week. ...

Nicki Minaj Walks Out on American Idol Judgesby Hilton Hater at . Comments
I agree what Nicki was trying to say to the other judges, I think the others judges got caught with their paints down of what they were saying?
Nicki is so full of herself & shit that she's got her head up her own ass!!! Lose that bitch!
Nicki Minaj is a train wreck, just like this show. I no longer watch because the focus is on the judges - particularly the troublemakers - and not the contestants.
I haven't been a very big fan of nicki before, but this really made me think of her as a person, rather than a singer. I totally agree with what she said. They all seemed to be pressuring her into country, and I wouldn't be surprised if the first non-country song she sings, they vote her off because 'its not you're genre'. While, yes, she DID have a very country-esqe voice, I don't think they were really giving her a chance to be anything else here. They should have asked her to sing something else not country to see if she's able to sing in a more diverse setting, since she IS claiming to not be going for country. Instead, it seemed like they were insisting ON her singing country.
Onika Tanya Maraj needs to get control of her temper. I was partially agreeing with her until her expletive remark and storming off.
agreed with Nicki...also, the show needs to get back on track and focus on the singers, not their drama..
Nicki needs to leave that show. She is making a spectacle of herself. It's always about the dam judges lately, what about the contestants? This ship is sinking rapidly.
I like Nicki Minaj is an amazing singer and on this video i agree with nicki.
You now, I don't like Nikki, but she was right on this one. Now I feel sorry for her and think the other judges need to apologize. Even though I don't like her genre She is still an entertainer and they need to stop ratting on her!
Apologise? No! Nicki is right about pushing the girl to lying, however, the judge didn't do it in a nasty way, not the nicest way, but not the nastiest either. Nicki would get a lot more point if she didn't be so immature and storm off the panel. The girl should try to explain herself, but as you can see she didnt choose to explain herself properly, instead lying to get out of heated water. Everyone knows she was bs-ing, don't need nicki to point out, however, a lot of young ppls think they have the talents, and she does seem to be looking down on the country genre. All in all, nicki is right but stomping off is a childish behaviour
the show would be so much better without her,,,bye bye
I love Nicki!

The difference is that the 17" have a smaller footprint than the 16.5,which are ballon shaped....Anyhoo,i seem to remember just at the time the 16.5s became popular (in the late 90's)that the main reason they were favoured was that they stayed cooler than the 17s.

Political risk in Hong Kong and Taiwan: pricing the China factor.
Clark, Ephraim A. (1998) Political risk in Hong Kong and Taiwan: pricing the China factor. Journal of economic integration, 13 (2). pp. 278-293. ISSN 1225-651X
Full text is not in this repository.
This paper measures how the risk associated with foreign direct investment in the prosperous, liberal economies of Hong Kong and Taiwan is affected by the prospect of reunification with the poor, politically and economically backward mainland. This China factor is modeled as a jump to a higher political risk level. I find that the China factor effect is substantial on Taiwan but still almost six times higher on Hong Kong. Nevertheless, Hong Kong's political risk is considerably lower than China's, thereby confirming the intuition that Hong Kong could be a lower risk back door avenue to the potentially lucrative Chinese market.

Jackie Billingsley, a volunteer with the Muskingum Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, was sent to aid victims of Superstorm Sandy in Maryland and New Jersey last year.
About the series
The Times Recorder is profiling local people who make a difference in their communities through volunteer work. These features will appear each Monday.
The articles will highlight people in Muskingum, Perry and Morgan counties who participate in volunteer efforts that are not part of their jobs.
To submit suggestions for outstanding volunteers, send an email to email@example.com.
NEW LEXINGTON — Whether someone is a familiar face or complete stranger, Jackie Billingsley will do everything in her power to assist her fellow man.
I may not know you personally, but I want to help any way I can, said the New Lexington woman. For me its letting somebody know that someone else wants to try to be there for them. When people stretch their hands out, you have to stretch yours out and grab it.
Its already been a few months, but Billingsley still speaks in glowing terms of her time working with Superstorm Sandy relief as a volunteer with the Muskingum Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Even before Sandy made landfall on the eastern seaboard in late October, Billingsley was dispatched to Baltimore, Md., to help prepare that area for the storm. After spending five days there she was then relocated to the National Guard Armory in Jersey City, NJ, one of the areas that saw the most devastation from the storm.
We fed a lot of people, serving thousands of meals, let them take showers and gave them clothes, she said. Things were taken care of by the state and the military was there, but we were just backup and a little extra help. The shelter had children, seniors, homeless, and an array of residents in need of aid and shelter.
I felt so bad for them, she continued. We didnt realize how bad theyd been hit. It was devastating with no electric, no homes, and homes not being where they were supposed to be. People had no warm clothes, food, or a place to bathe. And the children were scared, being in a strange place.
Billingsley said she learned to improvise to bring a smile to a childs face, and glimmers of hope on the faces of many.
You can do a lot with a sock, she said with a laugh. Making a hand puppet sock and watching them smile was worth more than anything. A thank you goes a long way, but thats not always needed. Sometimes the look in someones eyes tells you everything you need to know. When you hand a homeless man a couple pairs of socks, its like youve given him the world because of the look on his face.
Billingsley has been a Red Cross volunteer for the past nine years, drawing on her 24-year background and experience with the New Lexington Fire Department. After being trained to respond to disasters like hurricanes and floods, Billingsley has since been on several relief efforts, mostly through the south and along the Gulf coast.
Its sometimes difficult to know when and where shell be needed, but Billingsley cherishes the many ways she is able to help those in need.
People need help, but sometimes its hard to ask, she said. If youre willing to help, join the Red Cross. You get to meet a lot of people, and its an experience you wont forget. Its about the help someone needs. If we dont help one another, we cant do anything.

BULL SPEC #1 has gone to the printers!Posted: 26 February, 2010 Filed under: announcements, bull spec #1 7 Comments
Well, I just uploaded the file bullspec-01-201002261115.pdf to my printers. I don't really know what to expect next as this is the first issue, but, well, it's out there! 72 pages and about a month later than I'd hoped, but I'm incredibly excited to receive that first shipment of a big box of magazines and start delivering them to local bookstores The Regulator Bookshop, Quail Ridge Books & Music, and Internationalist Books & Community Center and mailing out (or for local folks, delivering courier-style!) those pre-orders.
So much to say, but for now, a few bits which didn't make it into the "thanks and welcome to Bull Spec" editorial column:
First and foremost, because I thanked her nearly lastly in the magazine, the biggest thank you of all goes to my wife, Kendra, for her support of this crazy dream. Probably she should have talked me out of it… but instead she told me to "go for it" and backed me up every step of the way.
Thank you to all the writers who trusted me with your submissions, which overwhelmed me both in their number and in their quality. Thank you to Duotrope's Digest and Ralan's List for your support and pointing those writers my way.
Thank you to Dan Shannon (pictured) at Durham Magazine (and Chapel Hill Magazine) for your advice on publishing and encouragement, and for sharing your printer, Publishers Press, with me. I don't think this would have been possible without their support. Thank you, Bryan and Dee at Publishers Press, for treating a tiny, tiny customer like an important one.
Thank you to Jeff VanderMeer for your good luck wishes! Sure, it was a long line of people getting you to sign Finch and in so many words telling you what to write in it… but I'll take it.
Thank you to Paul Riddell for the fun mailer from your Texas Triffid Ranch, the first "official" BULL SPEC mail. (I won't count the pile of mass mailings addressed to the PO Box's previous occupant if you won't.)
Thanks to the twin buoys by which my likely ill-advised efforts have been guided. The first is Mur Lafferty's advice on her I Should Be Writing podcast, "It's OK to suck!" Having decided to apply this to editing, design, and publishing, new editor of Durham Magazine Matt Dees had another point of view for me, "Dare not to suck!"
Dad, while I thanked you for my life-long love of science fiction and fantasy, thanks in particular for Heinlein's "Space Cadet." I couldn't have asked for a better first "real" book. Mom, while I thanked you for the trips to the library, thanks also for always encouraging me to be myself and follow my dreams. Heather, thanks for bookshelves full of "hand me down" books over the years and someone to talk to about them.
All those teachers over the years: Mr. Loeffler, Mr. Stuckey, Mr. Cox, Mr. Shank, Mr. Munn, Mr. Brice, Mrs. Ross, Mr. Walton, Mr. Hill, Prof. Rauh, Prof. Mathur, and so many others I cannot even recall by name. I am not sure how many individual pieces of information I remember but I remember scenes and themes, the overriding theme being one of an expectation of an honest effort, and a feeling that you all genuinely cared that I learn something, whether it was grammar, or history, or math, or how to make a turtle move on a computer screen, or simply how to grow up and take responsibility for my own life. You were all role models to me and I often think fondly of each of you. Thank you so very much for a foundation of learning and life.
Thanks to Kim Stanley Robinson's inspiring challenge that "we need to imagine what it might be like if we did things well enough to say to our kids, we did our best, this is about as good as it was when it was handed to us, take care of it and do better."
Thanks to Uri for being more understanding than I deserve about moving his fiction to issue #2. Thanks to Duotrope's Digest for giving me reprint permission for some of their market information, even though that is another thing which didn't make it into the final 72 pages. (It was supposed to be 64, darn it!)
And finally a heartfelt thanks and welcome to anyone so gracious enough to give this magazine a chance and a read.
Whew. Now I get to do this all over again. (Along with getting out and spreading the word about the issue, finalizing the electronic versions and audiobooks, …) This time I'm aiming for just two weeks late instead of four…
7 Comments on "BULL SPEC #1 has gone to the printers!"
Awesome!!! I've got to go order me a copy. :)
This time I'm aiming for just two weeks late instead of four…I'll drink to that =)
Among all those thanks, a big one needs to go to you, Sam, for providing such an extraordinary vehicle for those it will feature in this and future issues. So here it is: THANKS, SAM!
Thanks very much C.S. As I've said again and again: wait until we see how it actually turns out before we get to the thanking of me. :)
Looks like everything's trucking along. Coolness. Can't wait to see the finished product.Quick aside: any idea when subs will be back open?
Thanks Samuel — subs are basically open, I'll try to work in an official notice when I can. I had a chance to check out your blog, (belated) congrats on the sale to EV — I look forward to reading your story there.And thanks C. S.! I can't wait to see how the magazine actually turns out, myself. It's a bit of "printing into the dark" for the first issue.

We've already told you of some terraces, porches, ponds and fountains to design your garden. Now maybe you need a deck – a place covered with wooden planks, kind of a terrace somewhere in your garden. What's cool about a deck? You may walk barefoot and enjoy natural wood under your feet which is always warm due to the sun light. You may make a deck terrace, or a deck near the pool to lie in the sun, or create a gazebo for having meals outdoors. Veggie garden near the deck, or just some trees and plants would do but if you want some romance, put a jacuzzi and a fire bowl and enjoy your rest!

Kosair Children's Hospital isn't included in one of the two Humana networks available to Jefferson County residents on kynect.
- Filed Under
As more Kentuckians sign up for new health plans through the state's insurance exchange, some are finding an unwelcome surprise: Their preferred hospital may not be included in some coverage networks.
And that's drawing the ire of an increasing number of hospital officials, consumers and others, who complain that narrow insurer networks will limit patients' choices.
"It's an issue right now, and it's a potentially growing issue," said Mike Rust, president of the Kentucky Hospital Association. ...

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. As I sit at my table in front of a window that faces north, and I can't help but feel a great sense of anger boiling inside of me. ...
I watch cars drive up to a group of young men fresh out of high school and drop off weed. Then, one or two leave in a car and go buy blunt paper at the local bodega (store) that carries more beer, cigarettes, condoms and blunt paper. Oh yeah, they sell gas, too.
My question is, what happened to our neighborhoods? Family pride? What happened to children wanting to have jobs, go to college, just wanting more out of life?
Instead, they want to be hoodlums. It doesn't faze them that their fathers, mothers or other relatives are on drugs, selling their bodies, have HIV.
These same young men looked at some dude selling drugs, making money. Where are they now, the reality of street life? People wanting something for nothing. When the glitter is gone, who gets left in the cold? When will you get tired of begging for handouts?
I struggled for several years, but I worked. I didn't make much. But I felt good about myself because I did.
I challenge these "men" and "women" who have regrets about the choices they made, to help try and change the hearts of our youth. You get out of life what you put in it. Stop wasting time.
All dreams have to be worked for.

The Cave Person Theory
The lifestyle of the cave person, or ancient hunter-gatherer is probably the best example we can use to help us understand our nutritional requirements as human beings. Remember that there has been little change to our bodies (in a genetic or physiological sense) since that time.
With the exception of regional changes, our foodstuffs are very similar also. Nature takes a great deal of time to make changes. Humans on the other hand can make radical changes in lifestyle, behaviour and diet, in the space of a generation or two.
This is much too fast to expect our bodies and digestive system to adjust. So, what did the hunter-gatherer eat? Remember that they had no storage facilities for their food and a limited ability to cook. It's unfair to assume that these people ate a very simple diet of fresh food, most of which would have been eaten raw on the spot.
Theirs would have been a relatively mono diet. In other words, when they came to an apple tree they probably sat down and ate only apples. Food would have been eaten in season. Fresh unsprayed fruit and vegetables are extremely rich in vitamins, especially Vitamin C. No doubt they liked variety, but they would not have had the opportunity to combine as many foods at one sitting as modern man does.
With a simple selection of enzyme-rich food, their digestive system would have operated superbly. Whenever possible they probably caught reptiles and small game. This would have been eaten fresh with Most of the animal consumed. Meat was an occasional treat rather than the bulk of the diet.
Of course this hypothetically idyllic lifestyle wasn't all roses. Early man had to contend with starvation, predators and accidents which no doubt took a great toll. However, from the dietary perspective his food intake was potentially as near to perfect as you can get.
Other factors contributed greatly to the cave person's health. Plenty of exercise, fresh air and relaxation.
The Primitive Diet
Let's examine this primitive diet of the cave person. Firstly his food was gathered fresh. This meant that it was just at the right stage for eating. Hardly comparable with our early picking and artificial ripening techniques which mean that nutrients don't develop fully.
Some nutritionists estimate that a fresh organically grown tomato provides around one gram of Vitamin C. The fact is that these days you are lucky to get 50 mg (1/20 th of a gram) from an artificially ripened and stored tomato. You can see the dramatic difference in the nutritional value of this food according to the growing and harvesting technique.
Fresh food eaten at the right time is also packed with natural Enzymes. Enzymes are the important catalysts for the digestion and metabolism of our food. Food without enzymes is devitalised food. Because enzymes, like many vitamins, are unstable, nearly all are lost in stored fruits and vegetables – the only foods containing enzymes.
Already we have a picture of the vast difference in the quality of nutrition between early man and our present day, and we have only just begun. As a result of vastly improved hygiene and some useful drugs we have conquered the ravages of many of the infectious diseases like Smallpox and T.B. Thus we are living longer lives.
Our problem now is that we are falling victims to Nutritionally related degenerative diseases and stress. These include arthritis, heart disease, hypoglycaemia, diabetes and cancer. Such problems are epidemic and are claiming more people than ever before. Dietary discipline is essential if they are to be overcome.
So why not get with a good diet? After all, these problems are nothing more than a gift showing us where we are going wrong.
Getting back to our cave person … as we've seen his diet was simple with not too much variety at each meal. This meant that his digestive juices were only dealing with a few foods at any one time. There was much less chance of incompatible food combinations.
Modern society views our enormous variety of available foods as a sign of affluence. The more varieties, the better. This is great for the taste buds but it is a disaster for the digestive system. Remember that digestion is the first stage in providing the body with fuel to sustain itself. If digestion is not functioning efficiently, you are in trouble.
Storage and Cooking
There were no refrigerators in ancient times so there was little food storage. Our cave person had only limited opportunity to cook his food. Pots and pans weren't around then so most of his food was raw and packed with live enzymes. Cooking destroys these enzymes, most enzymes are destroyed at 107o F. The stove is very much the curse of modern man.
With a few exceptions, our cave person ate his meal in an unhurried and relaxed way. After all, he had little else on his mind. Food was a major priority in his life and he was going to enjoy it. In this relaxed state, his cardio-vascular system would direct the blood supply to his abdomen and digestion was completed efficiently.
There is little comparison here with us today. With the exception of rich, tasty meals, food is truly low priority stuff. Our taste buds are the only consideration. The stressed state that most of us operate in means that there is always some adrenaline pumping through the system. Thus our blood is directed away from the digestive areas and into the muscles in preparation for all of our little emergencies.
This means poor digestion, indigestion, bloating, flatulence and eventual illness. Stress is the greatest killer in society today. The need to address this problem is inseparable from the need for good, fresh, whole food.
Processing and Bowel Health
Because of the lack of processing plants, our primitive person's food was eaten whole. He got plenty of FIBRE. This meant that his bowel was stimulated and his elimination was regular and efficient. In contrast, modern man's elimination is dreadful. Our bowel is the last stage of digestion and absorption of nutrients from our food.
Because of the relatively slow passage of chyme through this organ, it is susceptible to accumulation of debris and waste matter. Refined food provides none of the prickly roughage which is so necessary for regular bowel action.
The result is a clogged bowel and the reabsorption of toxins and waste material. No wonder bowel cancer is one of the greatest killers in Western society.
Refining and Storage
This brings us to yet another major problem … processed food and its lack of nutritional value. The refining and storage process robs most of the fibre and nutrients from our food. Most of the 'B' vitamins and the precious 'E' vitamins are lost in the processing of wheat and flour.
White flour is not only valueless, it is literally poisonous to the body. Similarly all other processed cereals, fruits and vegetables have lost most of their nutrients and almost all of the very unstable VITAMIN C – which is so important that our bodies require it in abundance.
It is required in even greater quantities if we live under stress – and who doesn't? The amount of Vitamin C available to us in the average Western diet is often not enough to prevent scurvy, let alone run our bodies efficiently.
The Diet of Modern Man
In comparison to the primitive man, modern man eats almost exclusively of processed, stored and artificially ripened food, grown on artificially fertilised soil and sprayed with poison up to 20 times during the growing season.
He eats anything, at any time, because we have learned how to make most foods readily available through processing and storage. He eats almost no whole food. It is nearly always the tasty parts of the food only. He insists on a large variety for taste, because he believes that this is of greater importance than quality.
More often than not, he eats in a hurried and unrelaxed way and during the few times he sets aside for relaxing and social meals, he drowns them in alcohol, tea and coffee.

- Make your own quinine syrup
It wasn't so long ago that a good cocktail was defined by using top-shelf liquor and a fresh lemon wedge.
But today's craft cocktails, quaffed by a dedicated crowd of foodies, have complex flavor profiles and often a list of ingredients a mile long.
Foodies name-drop artisanal bartenders, now sometimes dubbed mixologists, with the same reverence they give chefs -- and with good reason. Local drink-makers are serving some concoctions that take serious time and talent. Liquors are infused with fruits, vegetables and herbs; tonics and bitters are made from scratch; and flavor-adding syrups are created from ingredients as unexpected as rhubarb and green tea.
"Our cocktail program is more akin to a kitchen," said Desta Klein, who runs the front of the house at Meritage in downtown St. Paul. When she and her husband, chef Russell Klein, opened the oyster bar in their restaurant a few years ago, they decided to hop on the craft cocktail train.
"We train our bartenders to be kitchen people," she said. "They stock things like a kitchen, with mise en place. We make all our own bitters and infusions."
Last year, the local cocktail-slinging tribe formed Northstar Bartender's Guild, a group dedicated to "bringing forward a culinary approach to bartending that focuses on using only the freshest ingredients, attention to the smallest detail(s) and discovering and using artisanal spirits."
In that "spirit," we hit six hot spots for fancy drinks and weeded out the flash from the substance. Beware that the drinks I mention could rotate off the menu at any time. Cocktails are now as seasonal as main dishes.
Also, craft cocktails are not cheap -- expect to pay $10 or more per drink -- and they are usually quite strong. I learned during my research that two is my limit, and even at that, I didn't feel comfortable driving after drinking them.
So call a cab and let's get drinking!
(510 Groveland Ave., Minneapolis; 612-874-6440; labellevie.us)
Johnny Michaels wrote the book -- literally, his book is called "Northstar Cocktails" (Borealis Books, 2011) -- on taking drinks to the next level in the Twin Cities.
He's the man in charge at the sleek bar and lounge that fronts La Belle Vie, and the attention to detail and flavor is evident in drinks like the Black Hand, a sour, bitter, fizzy, slightly sweet gin and Campari concoction that gave my husband "the same pleasure a hoppy beer does."
The Handsome Devil, a buttery, spicy take on the Wisconsin-style old fashioned, is also worth a mention.
Several bartenders, formally attired, await your drink order at La Belle Vie and serve the drinks reverently.
Besides being a little stuffy for an after-work cocktail (at least for me), my other complaint about La Belle Vie was that hardly anyone was drinking cocktails! Most of the business people in suits were sipping wine on a Friday night.
But Michaels also has consulted at a few other places, including the live-music and upscale-pub-fare newbie Icehouse on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, so there are other options for tasting his genius. He also is curating the drink list for Union, the three-story restaurant/nightclub/retractable-roof patio that will open in the old Shinder's spot on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis in November.

There are steakhouses and steakhouses, but Rothmann's Steakhouse and Grill at 3 East 54th Street (212) 319-5500 is one of the best I have ever visited. It definitely is a "man's place" with an emphasis on large portions, but there is an air of friendliness about it. The service and presentation are superior and the level of food, especially the steak, cannot be beaten.
At a recent lunchtime visit, and there were many more males than females in attendance, but everyone seemed to be eating well and having a good time. Our waiter, Brahim from Morocco, was most helpful. We began with a Cosmopolitan for me and a Dirty Martini for my companion. Our appetizers were Colossal Lump Crab Meat Cocktail and, as a hot choice, Mussels Meuniere. The portions are large and tasty. Other choices are clams or oysters; shrimp cocktail; homemade mozzarella with beefsteak tomatoes; or Shrimp Wilson, shrimp and avocado salad. Among the hot appetizers are Fried Calamari, Shrimp and Scallops skewered with double-cut bacon, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and Ricotta Stuffed Ravioli with Prosciutto. Appetizers are priced from $10 to $50.
There are soups and salads for those who prefer them. Shaved Filet Mignon with mushroom and barley soup and Rothmann's Salad are two popular dishes.
For our entrees we selected Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola Crust at $42. It was marvelous and came "bleu" as ordered. Along with this huge and delicious piece of meat came fine onion rings, fries and bacon Asiago Potato Croquettes. The sides start at $6.50 for Baked Potato. Other choices are $8 each. We also shared "Steakhouse" Scampi which were great and quite large at $32.
The wine list is extensive, with vintages from around the world. There is also a selection of wines by the glass. My companion enjoyed a Chardonnay, Jordan C. Sonoma 2003, and my Côte du Rhone was exceptional.
In addition to sirloin, porterhouse steaks are available serving two, three or four diners. Also available are lobster, lobster ravioli, roasted loin pork chops, steak sandwich, jumbo Wagyu Burger, Lamb Shank, Sesame Crusted Tuna, Grilled Salmon and whole Roasted Sriped Bass. Prices are $21 for the steak sandwich to $168 for Porterhouse for four.
Although we had eaten heartily, we opted for dessert when we heard that all the pies, cakes and cookies are baked on the premises. General Manager Pat Felitti brought us a platter with small slices of the New York Style Cheesecake, Country Style Pecan Pie and Florida Key Lime Pie. Each was delicious. Then he gave us a variety of cookies which were also superior. With cappuccino it was a fine ending to an excellent luncheon. There also is a complete menu of dessert wines, single malt and blended scotch whiskey, bourbon, ports, cognacs, cordials, armagnacs and liqueurs, and grappas. Jazz is presented Monday, Friday and Saturday nights from 6 to 10pm with no cover or minimum. Monday and Friday Alex Leonard plays piano with a bassist and Saturday night Jeff Elder plays piano with a bassist.
Hours: Lunch and Dinner Monday thru Friday; Dinner only Saturday and Sunday
Only a few months old, Nizza (Italian for Nice) has drawn diners who appreciate the foods of Liguria and the Italian Riviera and can enjoy them in a friendly atmosphere at 630 Ninth Avenue, between 44th and 45th Streets, (212) 956-1800. Executive Chef Andy D'Amico and partner Robert Guarino have created an attractive but informal setting for some good food with an amazing "cellar" of 100 wines by the bottle and 30 wines by the glass. Wine bottles are an important part of the décor. The chef whose food we appreciated at Marseille is lending his skill to this new endeavor and has achieved some fine results.
From the special cocktails we chose a Peach Bellini Martini for me and a Negroni Traditzionale for my companion. Other cocktails include Amaro Sour, Lampone Frizzante and Americano della Casa.
As we sipped, we glanced at the menu which is divided into Antipasti, Salumi, Soups and Salads, Specialties, Pizza and Panini. We tasted Focaccette, a delicious fried ravioli filled with creamy Crescenza cheese, and Burrata with Roasted Peppers and Tomatoes. We also had Roasted Beets with Gorgonzola, Almonds and Rosemary Honey. Other choices include Swiss Chard Torta, Warm Calamari and Potato Salad, Prosciutto Crostini with Sheep's Milk Ricotta and Balsamic Syrup. Tapenade also is available at $5; the antipasti are $6 to $8.
We tasted an excellent Tomato Soup flavored with orange zest topped with fresh ricotta.
Our waitress, Leah from Chicago, was most helpful and from the specialties we selected a marvelous Crab Ravioli done with butter, fennel, parmesan and tomato; and Grilled Marinated Flat Iron Steak with shallots, capers, anchovy and vinegar sauce. It too was very good. Other specialties include Wild Boar Lasagna, Branzino Fillet, Pansotti and Pasta al Pesto.
With our entrees we had glasses of wine. For my companion white Falanghina, Mastroberardino, Campania 2005 and for me a red Cannonau, Riserva, Sella e Mosca, Sardinia 2003. Both were great accompaniments to our food.
Although we could not try the pizza or panini this time, the variety of both will attract us back for another visit. Among the panini are Kobe Beef with Roasted Tomatoes, Red Pepper remoulade and Onion Rings for $13 and Prosciutto Mozzarella with pesto and tomato. The panini start at $8; the Kobe Beef is $13. Among the pizza choices is La Mia, with taleggio cheese, pancetta, chili flakes, red onion and parmesan. Pizzas are $9 to $11.
Our desserts were Pine Nut Semifreddo Affogato, which was fine and not too sweet, and Chocolate and Orange Crostata with a thin crust. My cappuccino was hot and good.
This restaurant has been created to provide food and drink in a casual fashion.
Hours: All day menu 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
The dollar sign indicates the approximate cost of dining for two persons, excluding beverages, tax and gratuity.

By Eugene Curtin / Leader Associate Editor
They could, and occasionally do, rustle up a dozen or so volunteer actors, commandeer a school library, alert the public that this is a test – this is only a test – and then carry out a one-time enactment of a school hostage situation.
It's a lot to organize, and Bellevue Police Department officers had better drink in the experience because the opportunity won't come around often.
Or, they could walk down a flight of steps into the basement of the police department's new Wall Street headquarters and step into the newly installed $350,000 VirTra incident simulator.
There, amidst the simulator's five life-size panels, lawmen can step into a virtual school environment at any time, traverse virtual corridors in life-sized high-definition, with screaming, life-sized students rushing by, injured victims screaming in pain, and a terrified student being held hostage by a desperate criminal.
And they can do it as many times as they wish, as often as they like, until alertness and efficiency become instinct, and situational awareness in the face of chaos and terror becomes second nature.
"It's the only one of its kind in the region," said Bellevue Police Chief Mark Elbert. "The closest one like it is in Chicago."
The VirTra's outstanding feature, he said, is that its five screens create an almost 360-degree environment where the officer must be aware at all times of what's happening around him or her. Lesser simulators provide one or two screens directly in front of the officer, Elbert said, which is useful, but does not recreate a real-world environment.
The VirTra is equipped with dozens of realistic scenarios that leap on to the screen at the press of a button.
But it is also customizable.
Officers, for example, could take photos of the Bellevue City Council chambers and upload those to the five screens, thus creating a virtual, highly realistic and life-sized reproduction. They can insert bad guys and hostages into the scenario, and cause perpetrators to leap on to the screen.
Officers are monitored as they advance through a scenario, with poor responses recorded. If a response is especially poor – if, for example, an officer fails to notice a development that might render him or her injured or possibly killed – he or she may be zapped with a light electrical charge.
Elbert said the simulator raises Bellevue's training program to a new level.
"It really is cutting edge, we're super excited about it," he said. "Because of the number of repetitions that are now possible, and because they are so easy to schedule, we can now do much more realistic training than we ever could before."
Elbert said police-involved shootings that occasionally make national news can be reduced with training.
"Policing is very stressful," he said. "Human beings have a natural tendency to lose some of their fine motor skills when they are under enormous stress, so the more they train under those conditions, the more they can remain calm and collected."
The $350,000 cost of the simulator was raised at the Sept. 8 City Council session.
Councilwoman Carol Blood said some residents had objected to the cost at a time when city finances are tight and ways to reduce spending are being sought.
But, she said, the police department has reduced its spending and earned a tool that will enhance the safety both of officers and the general public.
City Finance Director Rich Severson said the department has saved more than enough to afford the simulator.
The police department's 2103-2014 spending came in just over $1 million under budget, he said, primarily through cuts in overtime costs.
"That's money they have already saved, not what they intend to save," he said.
Elbert also raised the possibility of selling time on the simulator to other police departments, which he said could eventually earn back its cost.
"We've talked about it quite a bit," he told Councilwoman Kathy Saniuk. "We just have to iron out those details as to how much that would cost them."
And, yes, kids, you might get a free shot at it.
"We fully intend to integrate this into our police citizens academy and our teen academy," Elbert said. "It would be good for people to get a little taste of the pressures involved in policing."

MORRISTOWN: The law firm of Edwards Wildman Palmer has moved its New Jersey office to Morristown from its previous location in Madison.
The move was effective Monday. Edwards Wildman's New Jersey office includes 23 professionals and 10 support staff.
"We are now located in a premier legal hub in New Jersey, providing increased convenience for our clients and staff and creating a more efficient work environment," said George Talarico, managing partner of the New Jersey office.

This market is extremely important to Edwards Wildman and we are excited about servicing our current and future clients from this new location."
The new office is located at 44 Whippany Road. Telephone numbers for all staff will remain the same.
Provident donation supports Drew Summer College
MADISON: Provident Bank Foundation provided a $7,500 grant to Drew University in support of Drew Summer College.
The grant enabled the opportunity for Newark high school students to experience a week-long college program at Drew University this past summer, according to a press release from Provident.
First offered in the summer of 2007, Drew Summer College is a one-week residential program that seeks to bring Newark high school students to Drew's campus to experience academic life at a liberal arts college and give them the opportunity to establish ongoing relationships with faculty, students and staff who can serve as resources to support them as they navigate of the college process during the ensuing academic year.
"Over the week the students are with us, we see their academic confidence grow. They speak more in class; they ask questions; they get excited about fields they hadn't heard of before they came to campus. The students seem to realize that they really can do college work and start to see college as a concrete possibility," said Wendy Kolmar, director of the Drew Summer College of Drew University. "On their exit surveys, they talk very specifically about what they will do when they go back to high school in the fall: They will study harder, choose more academic subjects, prepare for the SAT and research possible colleges."

60 years as monarch is a remarkable achievement
Last updated at 14:22, Tuesday, 07 February 2012
She has seen them come and she has seen them go. There may well even have been a few she'd have liked to have had seen off the premises.
Have your say
I'm quite happy having the royals although I do understand the other point of view...I do think it's a tradition that we accept and like. As someone pointed out, the tourism the royals generate probbably outweigh the costs to the tax payer to "keep" them. I can also see why some people say why should they be born in to privelage etc...but to be fair, her job prob isn't half as glamerous as what we might imagine. All those state visits, I don't know if I could be bothered.
Although priveleged, I do like the way Wills and Harry have jobs in the armed forces, its a good example to set. William obviously done a degree for 4 years then had to complete his training for his pilots licence so it makes hime more in touch with reality I think.
@Mike: A 10 year old child could see what's fundamentally wrong with having an unelected head of state, but royalists, like yourself, seem happy to delude themselves that the royals have a place in a mature society.
Think about it. Somebody is born and automatically becomes commander of our armed forces, head of the church, and has the final say on important legal issues - following that 'logic' why not have families born to become Doctors, scientists and engineers, regardless of their lack of talent?!
I personally think that the only reason we still have the royals is because it seems they've always been there, and we feel comfortable with the tradition. Imagine a Republican President proposing that his country should have a particular family as head of state, that they should be immensely priveleged, effectively above the law, commanding the armed forces, and that this family's descendents should be afforded the same rights, regardless of talent, and all of this at the taxpayer's expense - he'd be laughed out of office.
Speaking to our Queen: Can I say, Your Majesty... Ma. am. I believe your reign has been remarkable and it would be a token of an acknowledgement if you allow the new CNDR road bridge over the mighty Cumbrian River Eden that flows from the Pennine backbones to then the Solway Firth between two unionised kingdoms to be so named in your honoured name. If you should allow the bridge to be so named, as perhaps the 'QEII's Edenbridge' in respect of your contribution to your many subjects in the city of Carlisle where you have visited on a number of occasions on your many travel's throughout the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries which you continue to show an immense interest. Besides representing your country worldwide throughout your long reign.This is in part my reporting an incident on Carlisle's CNDR road to police control room at.... "CNDR" wheres that? 'Beside 'new' Edenbridge, yes, I know where you mean. No, No, not town centre, not than one. The new Carlisle bypass road. It may just need a police crown.

The role of testing in product development
Angele Thompson, PhD of Thompson PetTech (as adapted from her original Petfood Workshop presentation)
So you have the world's greatest idea for a pet food product?
How do you know it is the greatest? How do you know it hasn't been tried before? How do you know that someone will actually buy the product? What product is being made? Is it want you want? Can you set the required label guarantees? Can you substantiate label claims? Can you support the nutritional adequacy claims? Do you know the product is safe? Do you know that animals will like and consume your product?
Testing is the way to get objective answers to these questions. Testing should always be done with a scientific basis in an appropriately rigorous manner to give you unbiased results upon which you can make decisions and support claims. No matter how 'informal' the testing is, you should always strive to be as rigorous and unbiased as possible. The repetition of tests provides answers about the consistency of your product and its ongoing performance.
Testing is a critical component of product development. It is important to know what tests you must have in order for your product to reach the retail marketplace and what tests are good to have in order to keep the product available and for information for consumers.

A dangerous day was set up for the middle portion of the country Wednesday as a powerful storm brought a variety of significant weather events to the region.
The most dangerous of this weather was the threat of severe weather from northern Texas through Missouri and Illinois due to a strong cold front moving through that area.
While no tornadoes had yet formed by the early afternoon, the Storm Predictions Center had issued a moderate risk of severe weather for the area due to the possibility of severe thunderstorms, strong winds, large hail, and tornadoes into the evening. Residents are asked to watch local weather conditions into the evening and be prepared to protect life and property.
Even without a tornado during the first part of the day, the associated cold front produced heavy rain for Iowa and Illinois. Some areas in Iowa had reported up to 3 inches of rain by the early afternoon, prompting flooding concerns due to surging rivers and streams.
The second effect of the storm was the winter conditions it provided from the Northern Rockies through the Northern Plains. While significant snow was expected to continue to produce significant snow into the evening and Thursday, several inches of snow had already fallen from eastern Colorado through South Dakota.
Meanwhile, an area of showers and thunderstorms developed over the Appalachians. The rest of the eastern third of the country remained dry.
The Southeast rose into the 70s and 80s, while the Northeast saw temperatures in the 50s and 60s. The Northern Plains rose into the 30s and 40s, while the Northwest saw temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
HIGHEST TEMPERATURE (DEGREES F).........................95 Dryden, Texas
HIGHEST HEAT INDEX (DEGREES F)..........................103 McAllen, Texas
LOWEST TEMPERATURE (DEGREES F)..........................-2 Yellowstone, Wyo.
LOWEST WIND CHILL (DEGREES F)...........................-36 Kuparuk, Alaska
HIGHEST WIND GUST (MPH).................................79 Mt. Washington, N.H.
HIGHEST PRECIPITATION (INCHES)..........................2.19 Iowa City, Iowa
ON THIS DATE....... The stretch the Mississippi River near Minneapolis crested at a new record on this date in 1965, topping the previous record by four feet. As the flood moved downstream, high river levels were recorded southward to Hannibal, Mo. Even though the events along the river caused $100 million damage, early warnings saved the lives of countless people as only 12 fatalities were reported.

At East Coast Acoustics we found Graphics Online to be a true local website development and design company. They have a large local team of professionals using their own CMS fully integrated Website Development tool designed for both the beginner to advanced user. With a small amount of training and responsive support we quickly managed to get our website up and working for us. Their customer service and support is second to none.
Thank you Graphics Online
"I have had a website with Graphics Online for many years now and last year we have redesign and redeveloped my website, since the new site went live in August 2012 we've seen a 19% increase in sales compared with the same period last financial year & since we did the SEO work in March the increase is 45% over the corresponding period the year before… Nice work!
The team at Graphics Online have been extremely professional with the development and production of my new website. I found each and everyone I dealt with at Graphics Online to have a good understanding of my business requirements and what I needed from them to produce a quality website with the right audience and market in mind.
While I already had a standard website, Graphics Online were able to shape and tailor the website to make it look more professional, modern, and eye catching.
At each stage of the development and progression of my website, Graphics Online would contact me with an overview of where they were at in the development of the website and also to consult me on my ideas and wishes.
Graphics Online offer payment terms and allowed me to pay my website off in an affordable payment plan that suited my business needs.
At the end of the website production, Graphics Online provided training, which allowed me to learn how to use the website, alter when required and to upload new information. They also provided me with a week free phone advice and assistance, even after hours and were only too happy to help.
I highly recommended Graphics Online and if you are going to buy a website – buy one of theirs!
Just a quick email to let you know how happy we are with your efforts on the SEO. I have been keeping a close eye on it and we have been page 1 for most of our main keywords for a while now. We appreciate this sincerely as it has a direct impact on our business. Many thanks.
Just wanted to take a minute to share my appreciation of your team. I ask a lot - ha - but they deliver - in addition to my requests to ensure everything is as best as it could be! It is a rare quality that an organisation can surprise & delight their customers - I give you permission to use my line!
I looked for a team that would add benefit & knowledge in my original tender & yet again today your team delivered. So thanks to the team - I am a satisfied customer - who appreciates your teams attention to detail (along with their skill and knowledge).
I just wanted to offer my thanks on behalf of the Surfers Paradise-Broadbeach Chamber of Commerce for the wonderful job the Graphics Online team have done with the development and production of our new website.
Our website is the portal to our organisation and therefore one of the most integral parts of our operations so it's important we get it right. And Graphics Online have certainly done that for us.
The team worked with us through each step to substantially modernise the design from our previous site, produce a more user friendly calendar/booking system and improved newsletter subscription and sending facility. We now have a blog setup, Social Media links added to the website (and advice on how to use them).
Most importantly, they have provided us with full website training in person and ongoing, friendly support.
Like most 'lay-people', we had very little understanding of what was required to build a good site and the people we worked with were able to decipher our often cryptic instructions and requests, offer advice and guidance to deliver our 'vision'.
The guys and girls at Graphics Online really know what they are talking about and make you feel like you have some idea too. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for help with their own site. Thank you Graphics Online
Just playing with the website and have got to say – I'm slowly getting my head around the CMS stuff and I LOVE IT!
Seriously impressed by how well it works, and how much stuff I can actually customise and change even as a web-gumby!
Good stuff mate… thanks heaps!
Just wanted to say thanks so much for your efforts with our new website. I have no issue recommending you to other businesses, and would be more than happy to write a testimonial for you.
As a small business, investing in a new website was not something we entered into lightly and we needed to make sure we were getting value for money, not only for the site build, but also in our ability to maintain the site going forward. Graphics Online exceeded our expectations from the outset. What was even more impressive was the flexibility we were shown as we developed more functionality in the site. It was never a problem to chat with the designers or programmers to try to work out the best way to achieve what we needed and any additional work that was needed was quoted on quickly, so the project was able to keep moving.
The end result is we have ALL of the features we wanted in a website at a price that was more than reasonable for the work involved. I also have the utmost confidence that as our needs and the technology changes, Graphics Online will be able to support us.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and the team for a job well done. I am extremely pleased with the website that you have made and the level of service provided. When I started out with the idea for the website I never imagined it would have turned out as impressive as this.
Please extend my thanks to all the staff who have contributed to the site.
Just wanted to let you know that it was a pleasure working with you and the team on my website. The end result exceeded my expectations and was exactly what I was trying to achieve.
I have no hesitation in recommending your organisation to anyone wishing to create a new website.

Now, what remarkable, carpe diem things have you done so far this summer? Perhaps you've gone to the beach. Hopefully, you've done a boatload of outdoor dining and drinking. That's just fine.

No. No, you haven't. The only person who's doing summer correctly is Blue Ivy.

- Electronic shutters in lenses (more likely to get accurate exposure; mechanical shutters of RB lenses are a big variable)
- One cocking/winding motion instead of two separate ones
- A fast normal lens available (my work is not in studio)
- Auto exposure available if desired
- Can take RB lenses/backs (with adapter) if desired
- Lighter, of course
Those are just some of the benefits I've seen that would apply to me and how I use the camera. I can see being in a studio setting or being a repair guy preferring the all-mechanical operation of the RB. I've seen many people say that lenses are much cheaper for the RB, but I've found the difference to be the other way around for the ones I've been looking at (KL lenses vs the Sekor Z).

A Fond du Lac man accused of breaking an infant's leg has been charged.
Steven Feustel, 23, made an initial appearance in Fond du Lac County Circuit Court where he was charged with one count of physical abuse of a child. If convicted, Feustel faces up to 3½ years in prison.
According to a criminal complaint, Fond du Lac City Police Detective Matt Bobo went to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee to follow up on a child abuse complaint involving a 2-month-old child with multiple fractures to her leg.

80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Vintage, yesteryear and retro biking
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Made her my wife aka married, ball and chain, trouble and strife blah blah blah .
Sorry about the thread munga, cool bike and all but we're way off course now haha.

Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
yeah wait for my grand finale.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Carbon vitii have been the subject of two retro review stories in Ride Cycling Review magazine. Issue 46, had Stephen Hodge's 1988 'Kas' Vitus, and issue 55 had a lightweight project bike based on a 1987 Vitus Carbon 9. I built the Carbon 9 using all the lightest bits I could find from 1987 or earlier. It tipped the scales at 6.66kg, leading to the story's theme being 'The devil made me do it'. (6.66kg without pedals) I rode a 1983 Vitus (aluminium) for a few years, so had a particualar interest in them. I think these back issiues are available from the Ride magazine website.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Hey Warren, I really enjoyed the read about your 6.66 Vitus.
Whilst there is a lot of satisfaction out of building a full or complete resto, with a complete group; back in the day most riders rarely had one. Like yourself, I swapped out parts all the time, as new "technology" came on sale, or a lighter part was found.
I recently "gave up" on putting a full SR bike together (to ride L'Eroica), mainly because I could do the the money, but also due to the high cost of getting pieces in good condition. As a result, I plan to put together a "bitza" that I am sure I will enjoy just as much. It will be light, >25 years old, but it will have modern hoops.

Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
for those playing at home. i broke my vitus on its maiden voyage.
st and dt came away from bb, then tt came away from st lug.
no broken bones, although i seemed to have lost some of my sense of humour.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
You will laugh about it in time, well I hope.
The thing is your in one piece,
Can you get some of the glue from Adrian for it.
It's a shame it was looking good.
At least you still have a bloody nice groupset,
The maiden voyage of my Tommasini saw me have a major clip stack at my first stop.
The four cars at the intersection thought it funny but at the time I didn't now I look back it was pretty funny.

Holy hell munga, good to hear you're alright.

Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Woah, what happened when it broke? What do the lug connections look like?
At least you're right. And now I'm slightly worried about mine.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Sorry to hear mate.
Definitely would of loved to of seen it. The finished project and the failing frame in action.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Was the failure just from age or some repair done in the past that you were unaware of?
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
pics. if i can make nice, i'll take some pics and show you the lugs etc. right now i get a bit joe pesci when i look at it.
Last edited by munga on Wed May 22, 2013 9:33 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
i'd say age. there doesn't appear to be any modifications to the lugs or the tubes.
i was gonna say something relating to quangs restoration methods, but that'd just be mean.
quang i don't think you have anything to worry about, but make sure you put a lot of weight on those pedals before you leave the house. i got about 400m from home and was rolling through a roundabout at the top of my street. i live on a steepish kind of hill, and in hindsight, i'm surprised i got up the street.
ended up highsiding into the local residents' fence and looked around to see who/what had hit me. no cars for as far as i could see. spooky. i honestly thought someone had thrown a basketball or something at my bike. that's what it felt like. what it looked like was something else.
bike was held together by the cables. good old campy cables are definitely pre-stretched now.
rear seat stays got bent up a bit and the bb has a couple of slight marks.
ergo shifter copped a bit of rash and i'll have to check out the crank, but i think my left leg took most of the load.
luckiest stack ever.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
So it was probably a little early to be storing Munga up and salt in the wounds have led to him needing a snickers,sorry Munga
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
It is generally not recommended to store Mungas, they don't keep well & you can't show off your collection in public anyway. Much better to stick to bicycles
Good of you to man up & apologise though

i think i got a bit touchy too. all good dayne, grouphugs and pretty flowers and stuff.
you hear "ahaha, you shoulda bought blah-blah's frame" a half a dozen times and it gets kinda hmm...
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
If you look way back through the archives of this site you will see a couple of comments I made a long time ago about the safety of old Vitus/Vitii. As they get older, the chemical reaction (oxidising) of the inside of the cast aluminium lugs, which are not anodised, must react with and weaken the glue. My 1983 model started coming apart in the early 1990's. I glued it up using the factory glue, and rode it a few more times, but could not get the thought of it failing out of mind, so hung it up.
Some came apart when they were virtually new. The importer at the time lost money on them due to this.
They look great on the wall as a display bike, great conversation piece.
I dont know what their design life was, but I dont think it was anything like 30 years.
Labour the point: They look great on the wall as a display bike.
Same goes for old ALAN frames. Ride them on your own, dont ride them in a group and put other people at risk.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
I can vouch for this - a club mate of mine back in the late '80s/eary 90's had his fail twice within 6 months (first failure was repaired by the importer with the correct adhesive), and he was a <60kg junior; his father's Vitus also failed shortly after. Both frames were under 2 years old at the time.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
Interesting reading. I'm still riding my vitus 979 pretty regularly, and reasonably often on some corrugated sections of dirt road, no problems yet. I'm about 85kg and the bike is a 58cm. Now I'm just a little concerned... will keep a close eye on it.
LG = Low Gear
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
i think it's a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease, LG. I've not heard of that many vitus failures, and even less with the alans.
admittedly, there are probably more failures than with traditional lugged steel frames, but hey, we're talking about epoxy bonded tubes. it happens on yachts, airplanes, and bicycles.
you takes your chances.
personally, it hasn't put me off the concept. if the vitus is deemed repairable, i'll get it repaired. epoxy bonding technology has moved on a bit in 30 years.
Re: 80's Vitus Plus Carbone
I think a bottom bracket falling out of frame when you are riding it is plenty enough warning to others not to ride these frames when they are old. They always look fine, but you cannot see the deterioration of the glue, and even if only a small percentage of them actually fail, say one in ten, that is way too many. Fork failure is the dangerous one. In my original post in April 2010 I said "you probably wont die" when when one of these fails. I'll update that now to, "but then again, maybe you will."
In the 1970's and 80's, ALAN had a worse reputation for failure than Vitus.
Virtually the entire scratch bunch in Gippsland was on Vitus's in the 1980's for a couple of years. I turned up in about 1990, having been off the the bike for a couple of years, and one of the other riders (Australian Road Champion) said to me "I'm not happy riding with you if you are riding that thing". Everyone else had pensioned theirs off well and truly by then.
They were very light for the time, mine was just over 8kg with standard Suntour Superbe parts, no tricky bits, which is why we rode them. Plus the fact that they looked fantastic.
Sean Kelly rode these bikes through the 1980's. An Aussie bike mechanic asked him how the frames were standing up to the demands of the pro races, and Kelly replied, "pretty good, but I dont know really, they give me a new one every few weeks". (Or words to that effect)
I dont want to turn this into a Vitus or ALAN bashing thread, as I have a strong affection for both, and the latest products from both companies are no doubt fine, but we are talking about 25 to 30 year old epoxy here.

ONLINE For video of Adam's road to recovery, visit pressdemo.com.It won't feel any different to Adam the cat, but from this day forward, Adam has a home.
It's the same house where he's spent nights and weekends for months, recuperating under the watchful eye of his nurse, Tina Wright of Animal Hospital of Cotati.
But now, after five months of surgeries and skin grafts, the little black cat is well enough to be officially adopted by his dedicated nurse.
"I gave adopting him a lot of thought because I have other pets, but what I realized is that he has bonded so strongly to me. I just didn't want to break that bond," said Wright, a veterinary nurse.
The kitten was found June 21, burned over 45 percent of his body in a cage on the banks of Paulin Creek in Santa Rosa's Apple Valley neighborhood.
The kitten was about 8 weeks old and was among several feral cats humanely captured by a good Samaritan who intended to deliver the cats to Forgotten Felines to be spayed or neutered.
But the cage was taken, some cats released and one -- later named Adam by caregivers -- was burned alive.
Two teenage girls were arrested in connection with the crime and face charges related to animal cruelty. The case was moving through Juvenile Court, and no further details were available.
"It's been a long journey, but now that Adam has been given a medical release, really all that's left is the paperwork," said Forgotten Felines executive director Jennifer Kirchner.
The little cat that lost his tail, the tops of his ears and most of the muscle mass on his back drew an outpouring of support as his story was picked up by wire services and went out across the country.

Pafos Mosaics
The mosaic floors of these noblemen's villas dating from the 3rd to the 5th centuries A.D. are considered among the finest in the eastern Mediterranean. Depicting mainly scenes from Greek mythology they were discovered accidentally in 1962 by a farmer ploughing his field. The mosaics at the House of Dionysos depict the god of wine, while the House of Thyseus is named after a mosaic showing the ancient Greek hero brandishing a club against the Minotaur. Many other superb panels can be seen in other houses such as in the House of Aion, the House of Orpheus and the House of the Four Seasons. The mosaics are on the Aphrodite Cultural Route.

(Rated 3/5 based on 6 reviews) Login to add your review
I really like that this heat protectant has macadamia oil in it, but I don't like how hard it is to run my fingers through my hair after I use it. It feels kind of stiff until I get my fingers through it. I do think it protects my hair well from the heat though so I'm still using it.
Starting with the positives first. Smells good... Negatives it is sticky and I'm not sure what to use it with. The label says that you can flat iron using this but my clean iron that has never stuck to anything did just that. It made my hair sticky as well. I purchase the whole Macadamia kit as I was curious to try CD's products. I don't know if I ever will ever again. The one thing I did like was the serum. I still have to try out the heat setting foam that came in the set hoping that will work. The hold & control smoother doesn't blend into my hair all either :( :( this is truly a waste of money don't even bother. Out of 45.00 for this set one product does what it says it will.
Nice. Smells good and is not a hard crunchy hair spray. It does hold the hair in a style, but does not make it feel stiff.
