Entry #2 has some accompanying text:
My entry is a 1982 Miyata 1200, just three rungs rungs below the top on the Miyata hierarchy per the 1982 catalog.
I found it without wheels at a flea market a few months ago for $25. Tired looking and grimey, but generally in good shape with some nicks in the paint job, and in mostly original set-up less a saddle and the oddball toe clips for the MKS Esquartz pedals. Also, the brake levers were road-rashed and there was a Shimano 600 SIS RD on it which was a later addition, but the indexing wasn't able to be utilized with the downtube top-mount Suntour Symmetric friction shifters. The price was right and it looked like a good candidate to get back together without too much trouble for a build project, so the purchase decision was an easy one.
Original RD was a Suntour Cyclone Mk-II. I had one in the garage but it was inoperable without the proprietary cable clamp nut. The clamp nut is an oddball thing with a hole in it that has threads on one end that thread onto the peg the cable goes through, and the other end you stick a hex wrench in to tighten it onto the peg. Responding to a plea on the ISO/WTB thread, a Forum member was kind enough to sell me the piece from a roughed up Mk-II RD he had.
The bike has been idle up in the garage rafters since I bought it, and when this contest came around I decided it was time to get it put together. Being an upper end model, I decided I didn't want to alter it too much and leave the original kit on it where possible. So, cleaning it well, finding some wheels for it, sorting out the Cyclone RD issue and substituting it for the SIS thing, replacing the scuffed up brake levers, and trimming it out was going to be the extent of the project.
A visit to both the local bike co-op and bike graveyard, as well as a sporting goods store having a clearance sale respectively produced a pair of Shimano aero brake levers with hoods, Christophe toe clips that (with just a little tweaking) would substitute for the missing Esquartz ones, and some inexpensive cables. I had the wheels and the balance of the needed stuff in my garage, and my brother supplied a dark brown leather saddle for my gift item.
After some component and frame cleaning sessions, I hung all of the components on it, threw the bike and some ducks in the car and stopped at a friend's place on my way out to the Bay Area to have dinner with my brother and his wife. He helped me fine tune it and was compensated for that work with some ducks (he would rather have ducks than cash).

Don't accidentally send #4 to your printer. The first page is the write-up. There are lots of pictures on following page(s), and I hope I'm not incorrect in providing the links I was sent. I don't detect any information that will reveal the BF identity of the entrant. mea culpa if I have erred, but identifying the 34 pictures from the album of 70 and putting them in the same order is something that would take a bit more time than I bargained for.
The plan: find a budget thrift store or rummage sale bike and rebuild it,
repair it, overhaul it, and configure it as necessary for a one bike owner
to use it as a weekday commuter and weekend fun ride racer. Any additional
uses will be a bonus.
Tally of purchased items, or value of items on hand:
Bike: Univega Sportour, 12 speed, 700c wheels
Cost: $10, thrift shop
Second wheelset: Campagnolo Record hubs, tubular 700c rims, 5 speed freewheel
Cost: $20, localCraigslist ad
Trek Trail-a-bike
Cost: $50, thrift shop
Tubular training tires
Cost: $40, LBS
Replacement 700c tires
Value: I don't know, $20 maybe? Hanging in the basement for 6+ years but
in better condition than the tires that came on the bike.
Running total: 10 + 20 + 50 + 40 + 20 = $140
Adjustments: -20 tubular rims –40 tubular tires = $80
Reason for adjustments: converting the 5-speed 120mm spacing tubular rear
hub over to a 6-speed 126mm spacing would have put this project over budget,
so if I was the one-bike-owner budget builder I decided I would either save
the tubular conversion for a winter project or sell them in the spring to help
pay for upgrades to the bike. So – tubular tires/wheels are out of the project
and subtracted, but stopping at this point still keeps the total outlay of cash
under budget in either case.
Bike: $10
Tires: $20 value (had them in the basement unused for years)
= = = = = = =
Sub-total: $30
Trail-a-bike: $50
= = = = = = = = =
Project total: $80, take a kid on a bike ride or get the adult out riding,
commuting, training, exercising.
Additional items are just labor and lube (grease, oil, degreaser)
The Story:
I visited a thrift shop in a neighboring county to see if they had a suitable
bike for the buildoff. All they had were a couple of kids bikes that did not
look promising, a step through frame bike of Huffy or Murry brand that didn't
sound fun and that was all they had in the usual bike parking area of the store.
So I took a lap to see if I could find any accessories to use instead. No such
luck. I decided to go to another nearby thrift shop but stopped at the back
corner of the store where they have the old tools and plumbing parts. Hmmm,
what did I find in the back corner of the store? A hammer? Nope. A squeeze
bulb bicycle horn? Nope. A nice old frame pump with a fabric covered air hose?
Nope. Sitting there leaning up against a headboard for a bed was a bicycle.
Yahoo! It appeared to be an old Univega Sportour 12-speed. Tires were flat
but the rims appeared fairly true. When I tried to spin the rear wheel the
freewheel was very stiff and nearly frozen. When I tried to back pedal the
cranks the chain would tug on the rear derailer but would barely move the
freewheel. As I'm playing with the bike and looking for any obvious damage
one of the store employees wandered past and mentioned how skinny the tires
on the bike were but also that the bike looked like it was fast. I asked if
it was for sale and he said yes it was. I asked what the price was and he
said $10. At this point I stopped checking the bike over and said I'd buy it.
He walked up to the registers with me and told the clerk there that the bike
was $10 since it didn't have a price tag on it. I paid the $10, went outside
and threw the bike onto the rack on the car and off I went.
When I got the bike home I started to look it over closer. The closer I
checked it over the better it appeared to be. I grabbed the oil bottle and
squirted a few drops at the freewheel and it actually started to improve.
I grabbed a pump and pumped up the tires and they held air. The sidewalls
on the tires were beginning to get that old gumwall mottled look where the
coating is about to flake off the threading, then I noted the Univega name
on the sidewall and figured these were the original tires for the bike.
I wrote down a few details, found the serial number on the frame, and went
inside to log onto bikeforums to see if I could discover the age of the bike
while resisting telling anyone what I found (very difficult to do). I
quickly discovered that the bike is most likely a 1984 model. Good enough.
Downtube shifters for that vintage feel, 700c wheels to make finding a nice
set of tires easy, 6-speed freewheel still somewhat easy to find if needed,
sidepull brakes
easy to adjust and find pads for, I was in business, game on.
Rather than do a complete tear-down to bare frame and rebuild on this one,
I decided to work on one area at a time. And as I'm wiping off a little
garage grunge from the bike I keep thinking this bike is in really nice
condition. There are a couple of very minor scrapes here and there, but
nothing major at all. This thing is in amazing condition for being 24 years
old. I figure that someone bought it, used it very little, then hung it up
in the garage or basement for a decade or two, then one day decided to see
if it was still functional and maybe finding the freewheel stiff decided to
just give it to the thrift shop, or maybe they did take it in to a local shop
when gas hit the $3.50-$4.00/gallon range and were discouraged by the estimated
cost to have the shop make it rideable again. Who knows, doesn't matter too
much anyway because now it was home with me.
Oh, and about that Trail-a-bike, I was sitting home while my wife was off in
another town visiting a relative when she decided to stop in at a thrift shop.
She noticed the bike attachment and called me up to come take a look at it
thinking it might be nice to have around if relatives with little ones come
to visit. So I put the bikebuild project on hold and off I went. When I got
there the trail-a-bike looked in great condition, needed basically nothing
beyond a little air in the tire, didn't even need the chain lubed, so we grabbed
it for $48 + tax. Then I thought, "Hey I could use this as part of the bike
build project". I figured it would add to the versatility of the bike, expand
the use of it, keep it under budget, and be fun to boot.
The following pictures and related text will show the details of the work I
did on the bike.
The project:
I started at the bottom, the bottom bracket to be precise. I removed the chain,
the pedals, the cranks, and disassembled the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket
had felt very stiff and chunky so I didn't know what I would find once I opened
it up. But much to my surprise it appeared to be in very clean condition,
cleaner than any used bike I've ever removed one from. It seems that the grease
had simply aged and thickened up and hardened with age. Yippee, needs nothing
but a good cleaning and some fresh grease. Done deal. Put it back together all
freshened up and reinstalled the cranks after giving them a good cleaning. I
gave the toe clips on the pedals a little attention with some chrome polish,
wiped down the pedals, added a few drops of oil on the spindles and the pedals
were good to go. Once the bottom end was all back together it felt nice and
smooth and spun really nice.
I next removed the old tires and tore apart the front hub. Same situation as
the bottom bracket, just old thick grease. Out with the old stuff and in with
new stuff and it felt great.
Next I checked out the front derailer and all it needed was a little cleaning
and a few drops of oil. Then I went to the rear derailer. The RD was stiff
on the pivot bolt so I pulled that apart and noticed a couple of very thin shim
washers in it to provide proper spacing to allow the RD to pivot freely when
the pivot bolt is tight. I found three shims in there and first tried to go
without the thinnest one, nope still tight. So I put that thinnest shim back
in and removed the next slightly thicker one and that did the trick. I could
now get the pivot bolt tight and still have the RD move freely. Great. A
little cleaning and a few drops of oil here and there and it was done. The
cables on this bike were all in good condition so as I worked on the bike I
was able to nudge the cable ends off and relube and reinstall them, oil is
cheap, not needing to replace cables is budget friendly.
Next I attacked the rear hub. But I had a problem. I didn't have or couldn't
find a freewheel remover tool. Shoot, and the LBS was closed. But wait, hmmm
I thought, and I picked up a 17mm open end wrench and found it made an
interesting fit in the freewheel removal notches. Looking across the basement
I see the small bench vise bolted to a bench. Hmmm I think as I make my way
to the bench and clamp the wrench, jaws pointing up, into the vise. I pick
up the wheel and set it down so the ends of the wrench fit into the freewheel
notches. Pushing down to hold pressure against the wrench so it doesn't
slip/pop out of the freewheel I begin to rotate the wheel gradually applying
pressure, and it gave way. Yippee, got the freewheel loose. Cleaned and
regreased the rear hub. Then I gave the freewheel a good flushing and oiling
until it spun free and happy. Back onto the hub it went and back onto the
bike the wheel went.
Then I noticed over in the corner of the basement hiding in the shadows some
old tires I had forgotten about. I fished them out, cleaned off the dust,
700x23 size, sidewalls looked good, I'm in business. Free is good, but I
have to give them a value so I settled on $20 for the pair since they'd been
sitting down there for at least 3-6 years. Onto the rims they went, and during
the tire install I noticed the tire beads/seats were getting a little dry so
I figure these are good for probably one more season or until the sidewall
begin to look aged.
Brake pads seemed to feel fine so I just adjusted up the brakes and oiled
up the cables and I was done with the brakes. The handlebar wrap is in
good condition so no work or cost needed there. Head tube and steering felt
fine so done there too. The original seat has a few stains from something
dripping onto it but is otherwise in good condition and entirely functional.
Seat tube came right out and a little lube and it was done there too.
I got the Trail-a-bike attachment to see if it would fit the seat post since
it only came with the one bushing. Whew, it fits, no additional cost needed,
trail-a-bike needs nothing but a little air in the tire, done deal with that.
Then the plan was to take some nice pictures of the final stage in the daylight
but some family stuff got in the way so I had to wait to take the photos until
later. And it rained. But it's done.
$10 thrift shop bike that only really needed lube and labor and a set of tires,
a set of tires I had down in the basement, a kids Trail-a-bike found at another
thrift shop for about $50 total and this project was done and under budget.
And I've still got the Campy tubulars to play with over the winter and either
use or sell for other stuff and am still under the bikebuild budget limitations.
If I was a one-bike owner I could be a very happy camper/cyclist with the way
this project turned out.

Entry #6
Vélo Cheapo Bicycle Build-Off
Submission Title: Campania Project
Build Details
From what I could gather, Campania was a relatively low-end Japanese-built bicycle from the 1970s, imported to and sold from northern California. This particular specimen was pulled from the Plymouth, MA, dump by a friend of mine and given to me as he had no use for it. What I received included frame, chromed fork, headset, seatpost, cottered bottom bracket, and cottered crankset. I retained all of the original bits except for the crankset and the cottered axle, instead swapping in a cotterless one.
The restoration process started with stripping the existing paint (which came off quite easily with a citrus-based stripper—it seems there was only a single coat of the original paint and no primer), applying a coat of primer (Rustoleum flat black, which I had a partial can of from a previous project), and then most of a can of Rustoleum Metallic Brown and about a half of a can of Rustoleum clear. I built the wooden fenders, front platform, and chainguard out of scrap cedar. Components for the build are as follows:
Rear wheel: alloy CyclePro 27" rim, Quando flip-flop hub*
Front wheel: alloy CyclePro 27" rim, Quando hub*
Tires: Kenda 27 x 1 ¼"*
Crankset: Nervar 122bcd spider and Stronglight 45-tooth chainring
Rear cog: no-name 16-tooth
Lockring: DuraAce
Chain: KMC Z410 ½ x 1/8*
Front brake: Weinmann 610 centerpull
Bars: SR north-roads style
Grips: leather recycled from an old backpack w/ two coats of shellac and cork plugs
Stem: SR
Brake lever: Weinmann alloy
Brake cable hanger: Dia Compe
Saddle: Peugeot suede
Front rack: Blackburn
Front platform: scrap cedar finished with four coats of eurethane and mounted to a scrap piece of wire shelving.
Pedals: SR
Toeclips: Lapize
Fenders: scrap cedar cut to shape, dyed reddish brown and finished with four coats of eurethane, brass rod for stays
Chainguard: scrap cedar cut to shape, dyed reddish brown and finished with four coats of eurethane
Headbadge: Photiou (applied w/ silicone adhesive and thin slices of steel rod as faux rivets)

The write-up:
Centurion Le Mans
I found myself uniquely positioned in this contest, perhaps even with an unfair advantage. After all, the frame I was building was a Centurion (clearly RobbieTunes' favorite marque), was using at least one Schwinn-Approved part (to humor the good Pastor), and planned on filling a 2 GB memory card of photos (much to East Hill's delight.) This Centurion definitely succeeds in functionality and has lots of 1980's brightly-colored and color-coordinated-decal style. Creativity? You be the judge of that – after all, you are the judges!
To explain this build, the main question is, why? Well, a colleague of mine had been questioning me about building a new bike for her because the mixte she rides to work is badly rusted and built with cheap parts. I happened upon this Centurion on Craigslist one night and thought it would make a great upgrade for her. She also grew up in the 1980's, so the primary colors and block design graphics would be right up her alley.
When I bought the bike for $25, it was in a bit of sad shape. The shift cables were so badly rusted that I cut them off before even getting the bike home for photos because I felt they posed an imminent danger to my safety in the back of my car. The white bar tape was dirty, nay, moldy, and missing sections, the tires were long since flat with the sidewalls starting to crack and fray, the saddle was missing in action, and the front wheel's quick release was rusted shut! To fit it in my car I had to remove the rear wheel and turn the front wheel sideways – not ideal, but it got me the 30 miles home.
The frame and the fork had numerous gouges and surface rust, tempting me to do a full repaint. In the spirit of Velo Cheapo, powerdcoating would be out of the question, and I hesitated to do a full repaint due to the lovely two-tone fade paint job. I decided instead to careful remove the rust and touch up the missing paint with hand-mixed Testor's model enamel paint. For the record, matching the Centurion goldenrod color is not easy, but I did what I could given the limited resources I had available.
The Shimano Exage Sport group on the Centurion was in pretty good shape minus some rust on the bolt heads, so I figured it should stay on the frame. After all, I was down to (at most) $124 to work with by this point, and I needed new cables, housings, a saddle, bar tape, and potentially brake hoods and tires. The indexing worked well, though I had a hankering to upgrade the wheels. A friend of mine graciously donated a spare set of used Shimano 600 wheels, and I had a used (but still functional) 8 speed cassette on hand and some used 700x23 tires. Because I already had the cassette and tires, I estimated a market value on the high side – I came in quite a bit under budget. Using these wheels would have negated the indexing, but the housing on the right shifter is cracked and I worry about the longevity of the index function. Friction, however, seems bulletproof. The hubs (and quick releases) on the 600 wheels were not rusted and were much nicer wheels to boot, so I came out quite a bit ahead here.
With the Centurion in the stand, I fought with the front quick release. After some persuasion with pliers and a hammer, I managed to break it free and remove the wheel. Closer inspection of the hubs confirmed that the 600 wheels were the way to go here. I stripped the remainder of the components from the frame for a closer inspection. The rear derailleur was showing a good amount of rust that would be difficult to remove, so a Shimano 600 derailleur (quite similar to the wheels, though not quite period correct as an early/mid-90s part) from my parts bin seemed to be an adequate replacement. Again, fair market value has been estimated here. The remainder of the components showed some wear and tear, but a bit of elbow grease would likely help, so I donned my latex gloves and went to work with Eagle One Nevr-Dull wadding polish.
With the components under control, it was off to the most vintage-friendly LBS in the area. Here I picked up a number of accessories: shift cables, NOS Schwinn Paramount brake cables and white housing, a fresh chain, some NOS white Schwinn-Approved toe straps, and some white cotton bar tape. I was hoping to score some replacement white brake hoods, but to no avail – I would need to attempt to clean the existing hoods. I still also needed a solution to the missing saddle.
Craigslist provided the answer there: a Vetta plastic saddle with no cover showed up for $15. I thought this would be an opportunity for some Macguyver-ing in true Cheapo fashion – so I bought some white marine vinyl (to match the bar tape) and some contact adhesive.
I was starting to run short on time – it was the 26th and I still had a frame with no touch ups completed and no components hanging, so while watching my favorite football team (the team name omitted for the sake of fairness), I carefully sanded any rust spots and touched them up with the Testors enamel. It was time-consuming and worked extremely well for the white areas and somewhat well for yellow – well enough for a cheap project like this one.
With the frame and fork looking much better, I still needed to make progress. On the 28th I hung most of the components, but I still needed to recover the vinyl and do something about the hoods. Even with the extended deadline, I was not too sure I would make it.
The hoods were very ugly, so I tried a number of methods ranging from Simple Green to bleach. The bleach was the most effective, and now the hoods are somewhat white as opposed to a light brown. There are some marks left, but there was no room (or time) in the budget for new hoods. These would have to do.
The saddle, like the hoods, took a couple tries to get right. Spray adhesive was the first try, and it did not seem to take. After three tries with rubber cement (ending around 8:00 on Sunday), the vinyl took and stayed. I tuned the rest of the components, wrapped the bars, and hopped on for a test ride. I hustled the bike back inside for some photos, and then to wrap this description up. Enjoy the photos!
As it stands, the total for the project is estimated at $149 including fair market values for several pieces.
$25 Centurion LeMans (frame, fork, headset, wheels, front and rear derailleurs, shifters, cranks, bottom bracket, bars, brakes, levers, and seat post included, parts actually used listed in bold) (craigslist)

Moment of Zen
while tightening the front derailer cable I broke the bolt that holds cable! ARGH! Anyone who has read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance know I achieved in that moment a state of mind Zen Masters spend years trying to attain. My serenity was interrupted by reality and the contraints of arbitrary contest deadlines, so I rooted around in a parts box and found a compatible Shimano I parted out from something or other, and hope this will be allowed as my "Freebie", I'll drill out the bolt and replace later. Next year I will happily spectate while enjoying a delicious bass...

Nice work everyone. I hope this contest is a success and that we have another. I'd love to take a shot at it.
Ok so there was the reference to Bangtail bikes in entry #8. That leads me to think that either the entrant is in Bozeman Montana or near by or.... there is more than one Bangtail bikes. If you are from bozeman could you PM me so we can chat. I spent 12 years living in Belgrade and I do miss the Gallatin Valley.... LOTS

Event: America's Best Racing at Monmouth Park
And off to the races I go! I was invited to the horse races at Monmouth Park by the America's Best Racing Social Brand Ambassador team.I honestly had no idea what to expect besides big glorious hats and dapper men smoking cigars, but let me tell you I was definitely not expecting to have as much fun as I did. You have no idea how refreshing it was to get out of the city and be surrounded by courteous people and gentlemen who still have Southern manners. I made more friends out there in an hour than I do 6 month in the city…(Maybe I'm exaggerating but still).
So we started the day by having lunch in the Rivalry Room upstairs where you can see the whole track and start making your bets. It took me a while to understand how betting works at races, but I love to learn these things and the amazing Ambassadors helped me out…or maybe they just bet for me but does that really matter? Then we went down to get a closer view of the horses and meet the jockeys… I felt really tall.
Then after all this and a superfluous amount of champagne, we went and spent some time in our beautiful friend Marina and her husband's VIP box where the guys were allowed to smoke their cigars and the ladies continued the champagne sipping. And after the races were over (I was having so much fun I didn't even realize when they had ended) I got to go spend some time with the team on their big RV they travel in which you can see above. It is what I would call a luxury RV. I told the team I'm joining the tour…But really I plan on joining them in Saratoga or somewhere else fun to travel to.
Suffice to say I found my new favorite hobby and past time.

The TOS Enterprise was supposed to be on a 5 year deep space exploration mission though. They weren't supposed to just drop off and pick up new crew willy-nilly, the crew they start with is supposed to be their whole crew the whole mission.
Not really. Gene Roddenberry's original draft of the narration goes like this:
This is the story of the United Space Ship Enterprise. Assigned a five year patrol of our galaxy, the giant starship visits Earth colonies, regulates commerce, and explores strange new worlds and civilizations. These are its voyages, and its adventures.
Although the narration was eventually revised (by Gene Roddenberry, John D.F. Black, and Bob Justman), the important components to the mission besides exploration (visiting Earth colonies; regulating commerce) were evident on the series from the get-go.
They certainly weren't tied down to the crew at the outset, as illustrated by their regular encounters with other Earth ships, Federation Starbases, and the like.

Fall in love with the storybook setting on holidays in Salzburg - with its alpine backdrop, refined palatial residences and delightful old town. Discover a unique allure and nostalgia that never fails to charm.
Surrounded by mountains, overlooked by the enchanting Hohensalzburg Fortress and separated by the Salzach River – there is certainly more to Salzburg than meets the eye. Feel the spirit of days gone by as you stroll through Getreidegasse, with its wrought iron signs and interesting mix of shops. Then look beyond the grandeur and beauty of this postcard worthy city and find incredible culinary trails, a growing arts scene and a musical heritage, that runs through its veins.
A timeless tradition - the historic Salzburg Christmas market will be at the heart of any festive break. Set in the Cathedral and Residenz Square, at the foot of the Hohensalzburg fortress, this enchanting winter wonderland will not disappoint. Traditionally decorated wooden stalls provide plenty of opportunity to pick up gifts or a seasonal snack. Pick up some warm punch, hot roasted chestnuts or delicious gingerbread biscuits, as you peruse the festive offerings. Visit the oversized Advent calendar at Hellbrunner Adventzauber, where children can ride in a sled pulled by reindeer. Soak up the atmosphere of the Advent Market in the Hohensalzburg Fortress Courtyard or head outside of Salzburg to the beautiful Lake Wolfgang for Wolfgangseer Advent – where the glow of the lantern-adorned lake can be enjoyed from the lakeside or from a boat.

Comments about Celestron Celestron 8 x 30 Nature, Water Proof Porro Prism Binocular with 8.2° Angle of View:
I learned about this model on Bird Forum (UK), where some comments were quite critical of the manufacturer's quality control. However, there were many positive comments, so I decided to try a pair. The example I have is excellent, especially at the price. Optically, the binoculars are superb, with a wide, flat field and a high degree of sharpness and contrast. They are in collimation and seem to be ruggedly-built. Because they are a porro-prism design, the three-dimensional effect is greater than in a roof prism type with comparable power. The only negatives which I hesitate to mention are the stiff focusing (which may loosen-up with use;and the twist-up eyecups, which are a little flimsy ( this really doesn't affect me because I wear glasses and keep them turned down.) All-in-all, I think that these are wonderful binoculars - better than the Yosemite - and I'm very pleased to acquire them.

McIntosh intertwines three futuristic stories about individuals looking for love, all centered around "Bridesicles" — beautiful women, cryogenically frozen after death, who are sorted through by millionaires looking for companions. The author's high-tech New York City is both fascinating and plausible, and his characters are diverse enough to keep readers interested. What's especially interesting, and frightening, is how dependent humans have become on technology, with many choosing to record every moment of their lives. McIntosh manages to show how technology can both divide and unite us while delivering a highly entertaining tale.
In a world where humans are constantly connected and dead women are kept as Bridesicles, frozen and preserved, waiting for rich men to wake them, various New Yorkers come together to help end the controversial program, while hoping to find their own happy endings. There's Rob, who vows to raise enough money to free a stranger from the Bridesicle lab after hitting her with his car. Meanwhile, Veronica, a socially awkward dating coach, becomes involved in Bridesicle activism while trying to attract the attention of her cohort Nathan. Rounding out the ragtag band is Mira, the oldest preserved Bridesicle, who's determined to be reunited with her frozen partner, but is hesitant to reveal her sexuality for fear of being "terminated" from the program.

Illayathalapathy Vijay's many obstaclesComment on this story
Troubles seem to come Illayathalapathy Vijay's way; he has had to face a number of issues during his various film releases.
In the past few years, some of his decisions related to his political connections have adversely affected his films, causing losses for his producers.
Vijay's ambition to take the plunge into politics seems to have backfired. The saddest part is that his films seem to fall victim to political cold wars.
The actor's career saw a disappointing downfall between 2007 and 2010 with his much-hyped films like Kuruvi and Sura bombing at the box office.
Fortunately, his fate seems to have turned with Jilla and, luckily, this film has not faced many issues or interference. – Oneindia.in

Picture: The launch of the new James Bond novel held at Waterstone's, Piccadilly London, England - 27.05.08
LATEST: James Bond producers are refusing to confirm actress DAME JUDI DENCH's claim that Pierce Brosnan will play 007 in Casino Royale, despite being fired from the franchise.
Dench, who has played Bond's boss M in the last four films, insists fans shouldn't be expecting a new face, contradicting reports both Clive Owen and Daniel Craig are being secretly groomed as the next spy after bosses sacked Brosnan last year (04).
However, production company EON are remaining tight-lipped about Dench's revelation.
A spokesperson says, "No cast members, locations or release dates can be confirmed."
Today (27APR05) British newspaper the DAILY MIRROR quoted Dench as saying, "Despite the fact that everyone on the face of the earth has been tested as his (Brosnan) possible replacement, he'll be doing it again, and it'll be announced come summer (05)."
Brosnan recently admitted he was devastated when movie bosses told him his services were no longer required.27/04/2005 17:29

Think carefully and you'll conclude that this Gay parade and minyan report just underscores that the act of homosexuality remains a clear Torah prohibition. To flaunt it , is just a form of caving into one's desires. The participant wants to be proud of a minyan and that there are heterosexuals there. Fine, but what difference does it make. The Torah prohibition remains clear. The real answer is to fight it, and these same gays will be great people and their offspring Kadosh for their true self sacrifice to listen and obey god's commandment especially as it's measure of difficulty.

MP3 decoders test : MAD isn't so good! (for me...), MAD vs LAME vs Winamp 5 vs foobar2000

I tried to compare different mp3 decoders, in order to evaluate the benefits of dithering (MAD and foobar2000) and noise shaping (foobar2000 only), against simplier decoders, as LAME or Fraunhofer (Winamp 5.0). I didn't hope anything first. But I've finally succeed with one sample, and decided then to resume the test with others samples.
I've wrote a complete review in french, but I can't translate it properly. In few words:
For this test, I didn't reproduced real listening conditions. Difference are so subtle that I have to increase the level of my amp in order to maximise the audible difference.
In order to make it possible without being completely deaf in few seconds, I've selected very quiet samples. With classical music, it's not really hard to find such samples (even full tracks are sometimes totally quiet). I didn't evaluate any decoders on pre-instrumental silence, but only when music was playing
Four decoders were tested:
MAD, basically in order to evaluate the real performance of this mythic decoder, and technically in order to rate the benefits of dithering WITHOUT noise shaping.
LAME, to mesure the difference between MAD and a simplier decoder.
Fraunhofer: in order to evaluate possible difference with LAME (both encoders are really similar, so difference may not be audible or existent)
foobar2000: to see if noise shaping could make a difference with MAD dithering.
Eight samples were introduced:
I've mixed different musical genre: lyrical, orchestral, piano, chamber, electronic. I've tried to mixed dithered and undithered mastered CD too.
MAD isn't impressive. On four samples, result was worse than simplest decoders: increase in noise, without audible benefit on other points of the signal (aliasing, higher definition, etc...). But on some other samples, real improvements were noticed (less aliasing, less naturel and less synthetic sound)
LAME and Fraunhofer (WA5) are close, but not totally identical. Both are noisy, but less than MAD (good point). With some samples, sound was irregular, unatural... MAD partailly correct this feeling, and foobar2000 was perfect in comparison. Something like aliasing or moiré was introduced by the decoding stage. Slight difference between LAME and Fraunhofer (hard to ABX : up to 30...50 trials), in favour of Fraunhofer, less synthetic and maybe slightly more noisy
foobar2000 : each time winner. The less noisy of all challengers on all samples. The only additionnal noise audible was a very high-pitched band, very typical, and audible on extreme conditions (near silence sound, and with my amp pump to the maximum). All aliasing, irregularities... were gone: instruments are smooth, naturel. Nothing synthetic at all. With one sample (the #7), the sound was clearly better than the reference file (CD!). The lack of dithering on mastering seem to be prejudicial on very low volume part, and foobar2000 decoding correct the aliasing present on the CD. Simply amazing conclusion....
All results are here :
(I've translated in english the summary of my comments).
Comments are welcome.
P.S. It's not a MAD CHALLENGE. I repeat again that the listening conditions of the test are not reproductible on daily music listening. I've just put the decoder behind a magnifying glass, by using low volume samples.

Webcam images show January like conditions with powdery pistes and Alpine rooftops once again covered with up to 20cm of snow – good news for late season skiers, probably less so for many of the locals who have moved on to mountain biking and gardening mode.
It has arrived too late for most resorts in the Alps, but heavy snowfall is blanketing much of the region this weekend with Austria and Switzerland reporting the biggest accumulations so far.

Report: OL Harvey Dahl headed to St. Louis
|07.29.11 at 3:15 pm ET
Second-year quarterback Sam Bradford must feel a little more comfortable this afternoon.
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted that the Rams have signed former Falcons guard Harvey Dahl to a four-year contract. The amount of money included in the deal was not initially reported.
The 30-year-old Dahl started all 16 games for Atlanta last season and was a main piece in an offensive line unit that allowed the third-fewest sacks in the NFL at 23 (only the Colts and Giants allowed fewer). Meanwhile, the Rams ranked in the middle of the pack in that category (T-14th, 34 sacks allowed).

Gemalto's over-the-air remote management platform will help MetroPCS manage wireless devices and subscriber service delivery in its combined LTE and CDMA network. The LTE authentication is provided by the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), a next generation SIM card that will be used by MetroPCS in LTE mobile devices to identify subscribers and their services and manage secure access to the wireless network.
"The more customers get of mobile broadband, the more they feel the need for speed," said Andrew M. Seybold, CEO & Principal Consultant, Andrew Seybold, Inc. LTE not only ratchets up the data rates, the fact that it is IP-based will lead to even smarter devices, smarter software and smarter networks. Subscribers are going to love LTE, and the operators who get there first will have a real competitive advantage. MetroPCS is leading the regional carriers and its LTE suppliers like Gemalto are opening the path."
MetroPCS is at the forefront of wireless network technology, as they are among the first companies worldwide to start the migration to LTE, said Sebastien Cano, Gemalto's senior vice president of North American telecommunications business. We are very pleased Gemalto will be a technology partner in this industry-leading project.

TortoiseSVN is not saving my authentication details even when I check the save authentication checkbox, and asking me to enter username and password every time I access it.
How can I fix this?
TortoiseSVN is not saving my authentication details even when I check the save authentication checkbox, and asking me to enter username and password every time I access it.
How can I fix this?
I had the same issue and I simply deleted this folder:
Next time I logged in it was created anew and my password was properly saved.
Easiest solution found from here:
For instance, mine is
I have tried this and TortoiseSVN does not ask you for password for update or commit anymore.
If you're using
Here is what worked for me: in TortoiseSVN > Settings > Saved Data, click the Clear button near Authentication Data.
Considering TortoiseSVN save the authentication informations in the:
(see Where does TortoiseSVN save password cached files in Windows 7?)
You could check if you have any right issue in those directories (try to create a file in it).
Go to Tortoise Settings > Saved Data > Authentication Data
I had exactly the same issue...
Had to add the following to my %APPDATA%\subversion\servers
store-passwords = yes
( i also added store-auth-creds = yes store-plaintext-passwords = yes for good measure)
If you have applications programmatically accessing Subversion, for instance via SharpSVN or SVNKit, your local authentication cache could be getting modified.
There's a simple fix for this--uncomment the following line in Subversion's local config file
This file is usually stored within the 'Application Data' directory. (Which is a hidden directory by default--unhide hidden folders in folder options). In XP and depending on your installation, this directory is usually at
If this config file is not available in your version of TortoiseSVN you have to configure the same setting in the 'servers' file (within the same directory) as a group-based authentication setting. Portions of the config file have been deprecated since my build. My group is using TortoiseSVN 1.6.0, Build 15855.
I've found the easiest/best way to do this is check out the repository using a URL like:
Putting the user name in there makes TortiseSVN/Plink use it in the future automatically. Combined with Pageant, you don't have to worry about anything. And it's not global so you can have different user names for different repositories.
