what's the difference
what's the difference
the geometry on a track bike will be "steeper" it will have you more hunched over in a more agressive position. Commuter geometry will be more upright.
a track bike will also eliminate "unnecessary" items such as cable stops, water bottle bosses (in most cases), and rack/fender mounts, while a commuter will retain all of these...
not to mention a commuter frames most times will support wider tires (for snow and dirt) more so than a track frame
Huh? How does the frame make the rider more "hunched over" in this case? Steeper generally has to do with headtube and seat tube angles-- which affect how far over or behind the bb you are, and how it handles (steering). You could still ride it quite upright if you wanted to. Also, the bb will be a bit higher on a proper track bike.
yeah I guess if you put some risers on a track bike you could still ride it upright...but what kind of an idiot would do that??
i ride a fixed commuter frame for fun. i guess what im asking is how would it benefit me to have a track frame rather than a commuter frame
My bike has messenger geometry.
You see, their morals, their code...it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these...These "civilized" people...they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve

I had my 28 wk appt with my midwives group yesterday and I was so disappointed to learn that they do not permit any food during labor. So, with three months to go, I am looking for a new practice in Chicago.
Anyone in the area with any recommendations? I'm looking for a practice that fully supports natural childbirth and has a non-interventionist approach. Specifically, I want a practice that does not require continuous electronic fetal monitoring, IVs, and permits food and beverage during labor.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Cross posted in April 2010 Natural Births and April 2010 Birth Club.

This free discovery session includes an assessment of your business requirements and a proposal detailing how Fenwick can help improve your productivity.It is an invaluable opportunity to discuss your needs with ERP experts, and align your systems to the needs of your business.
Insights and commentary on business and Dynamics NAV from our consulting team.
Find out how Fenwick Software can help your business. Call us on +61 3 9695 3333. Based in Melbourne, Australia, our scope is nationwide and international.
Improve your Dynamics NAV ERP solution with a timely upgradeMicrosoft Dynamics NAV 2013
With the release of Dynamics NAV 2013, Microsoft continues to deliver exceptional value and innovation. NAV 2013 includes significant new functionality and performance improvements, and the new web client allows you complete flexibility of deployment - traditional on-premise or cloud hosted (SaaS), perpetual license or pay by the month.
Call us today for a free consultation on the benefits of NAV 2013, and find out how easy it is to upgrade your Dynamics NAV 4, 5 or 2009 system to 2013 via our ERP upgrade services.
Safe, Efficient Upgrades
Every business goes through change and part of that includes changes in what you require as an ERP solution. The word 'upgrade' can drive fear into the heart of business owners as it is often associated with huge costs and excessive downtime.
Through our ERP upgrade services, Fenwick works hard to make your upgrade easy. Whether you are an existing or a new client, we take you through a step by step approach so you stay in control of what is happening and the process is smooth and stress free.
We will need to install or confirm existing infrastructure and install software to your system. We review the Servers available, and install upgraded server software and services. We also install the new NAV client software where required.
We will then run a workshop aiming to confirm which modifications are required and which are obsolete, as well as review new NAV or Add-on functionality.
We will merge any customisations that are still required in the new Microsoft Dynamics NAV software. At the same time, we will perform a general tidy up of modifications, to ensure they adhere to the standards of the new version.
Some data structures will have changed between the versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. An Upgrade Toolkit is provided to assist the transition of data between versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and to the SQL Server Platform. We will utilise this, plus any custom tools necessary for nonstandard data to migrate a recent copy of your data to the new version to allow testing.
Using the upgraded test database, we will:
• Test modifications still function as required
• Check data transferred successfully
• Test the database on any new or upgraded infrastructure
• Review SQL Server performance
Testing is carried out jointly by Fenwick Software ERP upgrade services consultants and your staff, with a Conference Room Pilot to verify new or changed functionality if required.
Preparing for Go Live
We will review the results of the Test phase to confirm we are ok to Go Live, and provide User Training for any new functionality.
Cut Over and Go Live
Cutover is the process of moving from your existing system onto the new version. Using the timeframes recorded in the test data conversion, we will know the downtime required. Often an overnight or weekend cutover is required for minimal impact to your business.
Our ERP upgrade services consultants will be on site to provide support during the first few days of live running on your new system.

Scottish Highlands holiday cottages
Situated in a peaceful hamlet close to the banks of Loch Leven in the Scottish Highlands our two self-catering holiday cottages are surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland. They are close to Glencoe (5 miles), Fort William (8 miles) and not far from Oban and the Isle of Mull (30 miles).
Our two holiday cottages
The Old Coach HouseSleeps 6
- 4 star self catering
- Sleeps 6 (three bedrooms)
- Large open plan living area
- 2 bathrooms
- Shower room
- Full length windows
- Italian design staircase
The Old StablesSleeps 6
- 4 star self catering
- Sleeps 6 (three bedrooms)
- Wood burning stove
- Open plan living area
- 2 bathrooms
- Cobbled courtyard
The two stone holiday cottages form part of a trio of courtyard cottages and date from the 19th century. Built from Kentallen granite under a Ballachulish slate roof, they were originally built to house servants working at Alltshellach Country House (former residence of the Bishop of Argyll), which stands opposite. The cottages have been refurbished to provide very high standard self-catering accommodation, and each has been awarded a 4 star grading by Visit Scotland.
Each of the two cottages provides self-catering holiday accommodation for up to 6 people.
The Glencoe, Glen Nevis and Mamore mountain ranges are all very close by, with ample opportunities for hill walking, mountain biking, horse riding, sailing and fishing. Sports climbers will definitely want to visit the Ice Factor indoor climbing centre with ice climbing wall in Kinlochleven (8miles).
The attractions of Glencoe and Loch Leven, apart from the impressive Highland landscape, include The Loch Leven Seafood Café (Scottish Seafood Restaurant of the Year 2011), which is only a 5-minute drive from the holiday cottages along the shores of Loch Leven.
The photograph below shows the location of the two cottages near Loch Leven as seen from the summit of Stob Coire above Glencoe.
Guests at our holiday cottages have kindly left some glowing comments, including:
"This was our third stay in your cottages in the last three years, twice in The Old Coach House and once in The Old Stables. The cottages really are exceptionally good. My wife felt that the cottage was even better equipped this year than in the past. Our kids love them!"
The Fraser family, November 2014

This past week, on Halloween afternoon, it was time to go hunting. After what seemed like a week of worrying about Hurricane Sandy, enduring it and then picking up afterwards, I needed a break.
With the tides finally back to normal in my area and most things back in place, I headed to the woods, bow in hand, hoping that the whitetails would be on their feet and moving in the cool temperatures. Halloween is a great time for bucks in the late pre-rut to early rut period, so the odds were good.
I settled in my favorite ground blind, tucked into some small pines just past a field corner that I've filled with ...

One of the more interesting and unexpected developments in the children's book industry over the past year or two has been the rise of nonfiction. Publishers Weekly recently ran an article that surveys the landscape, and how publishers are having success with the kind of MG and YA nonfiction that, until recently, was thought to be going the way of the dodo. Who would have foreseen that in 2015, guidebooks for a video game would be bestsellers?
(Then again, if anyone can explain the appeal of Minecraft in the first place, please do!)
But while video game tie-ins are all well and good, obviously those are licensed products, and for the average children's book writer, writing for a licensor is a hard gig to land. So how can writers take advantage of this NF "moment" and capitalize on the momentum?
Well, from my seat at the agent's desk, books like BOMB and RAD AMERICAN WOMEN are the way to go–titles that can fit with Core Curriculum standards while having the kind of adult-market trade appeal that will catch parents' eyes in the bookstore. Biographies are also attractive, particularly those of living figures (for instance, Hillary Clinton) recently deceased figures (Steve Jobs) or historical figures that are back in the zeitgeist (Alexander Hamilton). And if you're a published adult writer whose book can be reworked for MG or YA, that's a great way to further your reach, too.
I'll also add that on the picture book end, nonfiction is in demand as well. Of course, the topics naturally skew younger than MG or YA–lots of animal stories and bios that can sidestep most controversy. Multicultural topics are also a plus at this level, as they can often be paired with the kind of highly imaginative artwork that editors love.
And here's another plus on children's NF–submission guidelines tend to be somewhat squishy. So while picture books submissions do require full text, often you can write longer than the 500-1,000 word limits that frustrate a lot of PB writers. And for MG and YA, my experience is that most editors will review a proposal in lieu of a full manuscript, and a fairly brief proposal at that.
So, for any children's book writer who's contemplating NF, this is the time to do it–and when you've got your MS or proposal together, send it to me!

PLEASE NOTE!!! I'm not claiming to be a scientist or expert, but found out some really interesting things recently that I thought would make a good discussion.
I've often pondered why the US often has a higher infant mortality rate than many other developed countries. Today, I saw some info that said the rate was dropping (yahoo!), but I also got some answers and thought I'd share.
1 - US doctors tend to have a more aggressive approach to saving premature babies. Also, many babies that pass shortly after birth are declared stillborn in other countries, while as long as a baby is born with breath in the US, they are declared alive and receive a birth certificate (I can attest to this personally). This also helps explain why the US has a higher rate of premature births than other developed nations - we define stillborn differently.
2 - The US tends to have more women who choose to carry to term despite a poor or what they consider unfavorable diagnosis. For example, in the US, 1/800 is born with down syndrome, while in the UK it is 1/1000.
3 - More women receive fertility treatments in the US than other countries. They are also often implanted with more than one embroyo, resulting in multiple babies and higher risk. In the last 30 years, the number of twin births has more than doubled.
4 - US has more women who choose to defer childbirth to a later age. I'd be interested to know the numbers when adjusted for age.
Now, the rate of infant mortality is still higher than it should/could be, especially among the poor and uninsured, and this is not an attempt to shove that under the rug. It just seems to me that the US gets slammed for this more than it should be.
OK, I've braced myself. Discuss.

The more you ride your bike, the less your ass will hurt.
I dropped down to the minimum 60 channel lineup when they dropped OLN. Now I gotta get that d@mn 180 channels just to get OLN! I'm gonna check DirectTV first.

If you're a home-theater geek and into Hi-Def, don't switch to Direct. PQ blows compared to Dish. Just an FYI.Originally Posted by trekking_TW
FWIW: OLN on dishnetwork is digital but not in hi def. I don't know how it compares to directtv. Dish has only about a dozen worthwhile hidef channels. Some of their advertised hidef channels (TNTHD for example) show lots of stuff on the channel that is not hidef. At least on my dish the difference between digital and tru hidef is amazing. Some of the standard def stuff (depsite having a great tv which was professionally adjusted) is actually worse on a hidef display than on a CRT.Originally Posted by sirthx
Thanks for the info. I have HiDef and all channels look good on mine with Dish. Dish is now offering new HD receivers and HD packages... I need to find out more details before changing my 60 channels w/HD vs. the new HD package. I know that the new HD packages have alot more HD channels than what I currently have, but requires the new HD receiver. Hopefully one of the HD packages includes OLN.Originally Posted by RockyMtnMerlin

I have the original dish HD receiver 811. Now they are selling another model the ViP 211. If you don't currently have an HD receiver, I don't think you are seeing anything in true HD from dishnewtork. You can check their website at http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/p...es/index.shtmlOriginally Posted by trekking_TW
to see what they offer - you won't find OLN there though.
Is OLN available anywhere in HD?FWIW: OLN on dishnetwork is digital but not in hi def.
I have Time Warner cable with HD, but OLN is not HD.
To the best of my knowledge OLN does not braodcast or supply an HD signal to anyone. They make no mention of it under their "get OLN" tab on their website.Originally Posted by Helmet Head

Hi alleycat,
Are you able to help me with details of a marriage for a John Parker and a Elizabeth Smith?
Apparently John was a Park Keeper, at the Stowe Park, he had at least one child who came to Australia in 1853, at 20 years of age.
Apparently he and his family lived at the estate of Stowe, up to and inclding 1841. That's all I have, can you help?
Regards, Bob Evans

Actress Rosario Dawson (did you see her in "Death Proof"?) commandeers Vinyl nightclub 7-10 p.m. Aug. 27 to get out the Latino vote.
She co-founded Voto Latino in 2004 with Maria Teresa Petersen, and since January the organization has registered 22,000 voters.
Expected at the party: actors Wilmer Valderrama, Sofia Vergara, Ana Ortiz, Fat Joe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Craigslist founder Craig Newman.
Listen for speeches from Petersen, Dawson, New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, San Fran Mayor Gavin Newsom. Entertainment by Northern Mexico's Nortec Collective and DJ Raul Campos.
Can you say fiesta? Sorry, invite only.
Talking Obama
If you want to talk the talk at the DNC, get a copy of "Obamamania — The English Language, BARACKAFIED" from the editors of Slate.
Mayor John Hickenlooper and his wife, Helen Thorpe, launch the book in Denver at a party 9 p.m. on Aug. 25 at Tattered Cover LoDo. Also expected to attend: blogger Arianna Huffington, actress Morgan Fairchild, NY Times editorialist Frank Rich and CBS's Jeff Greenfield.
Here's your vocab list:
Baractogenarian: An Obama supporter over the age of 20.
Barackiosaurus: Anyone born before 1960.
Obombies: Supporters who, though expressing unwavering support for Obama, cannot name a single one of his policies.
Obamanatrix: A person who has incorporated Obama Girl into their sexual fantasies.
Obamazon: A passionate female supporter.
Barackback Mountain: A depressing story of two cowboys unable to publicly express their sexual love for Obama.
Baracula: A batlike creature that feasts on the blood of moderate Republicans.
I talked to Steve Weil on Wednesday afternoon, just a few hours before his grandfather, Denver icon Papa Jack Weil, died at 107. Steve knew it was coming — and knew it was time.
Papa Jack was a Republican — so it's too bad he didn't make it to the DNC, as every Dem in town is going to stop by his Rockmount Ranch Wear to buy a shirt. Papa Jack would have given them the business.
And Steve won't be at the store either. He has to go to MAGIC, a can't-miss apparel show in Las Vegas.
Papa Jack's memorial service is 10 a.m. today at Temple Emanuel.

Hey, I'm Cath!
I'm an award winning Blues singer/songwriter from Brisbane Australia. I retired from doing regular gigs recently and now devote my time to marketing/promoting and coordinating the gig bookings for one of Australia's best known and loved Blues and Roots music venues.
I have been very active in my local Blues community for several years including 3 years as editor of the local Blues Associations monthly magazine. Music is my passion and I spend a great deal of my spare time supporting the wonderful and talented musicians who have spent a lifetime perfecting their musical abilities.
I have a great appreciation for artistic expression in whatever form. I'm interested in people from all walks of life. I love food, eating out with friends and cooking for the people that I love!
I'm originally from London, but emigrated to Australia in the mid 70's and have lived in a few different countries. When travelling I want to be in surroundings where I can get a glimpse of and momentarily feel part of the local community.
Do I have a life motto? I probably have many - but I do believe that if you take the time to laugh - the world will laugh with you!!!

1יהוה, You have been our refuge In all generations.
2Before the mountains were born, Or You had brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting You are Ěl.
3You turn man back to dust, And say, "Return, O children of men."
4For a thousand years in Your eyes Are like yesterday that has past, Or like a watch in the night.
5You have swept them away, They are as a sleep, Like grass that springs up in the morning.
6At evening it is cut down and withered.
7For we have been consumed by Your displeasure, And by Your wrath we are alarmed.
8You have set our crookednesses before You, Our secret sin in the light of Your face.
9For all our days have passed away in Your wrath, We spend our years like a whisper.
10The days of our lives are seventy years; Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet the best of them is but toil and exertion; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11Who knows the power of Your displeasure? And your wrath, according to the fear of You?
12Teach us to number our days, And let us bring the heart to wisdom.
13Return, O יהוה! How long? And be sorry for Your servants.
14Satisfy us in the morning with Your kindness, And let us sing for joy all our days!
15Give us joy according to The days You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16Reveal Your work to Your servants, And Your splendour to their children.
17And let the pleasantness Of יהוה our Elohim be upon us, And confirm the work of our hands for us; O confirm the work of our hands!

WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. (AP) -- A southern Kentucky man has died after being struck by a train.
Whitley County Coroner Andy Croley says 36-year-old Jason Moses died instantly Friday evening. Croley said the train's alarm went off, but he wasn't sure if Moses heard it.
Croley doesn't think drugs or alcohol were involved, but won't be completely sure until they do a toxicology report.

It's tough to tinker with a classic, but the people at Schutt decided a small change would make the Schutt DNA Pro+ Youth Football Helmet even better. The helmet that's been battle-tested in youth leagues across the world now features mechanically attached TPU cushioning. Unlike previous models of the helmet, this version packs in thicker TPU that's held firmly in place. The rest of the helmet is what you've come to count on from the DNA Pro+. It's got a large standoff shell; comfortable, ventilated SUREFIT AiR liner and AiR Maxx TPU jaw pads.
Pros:easy to fit, great protection, easy to adjust when" its tight" easy to clean!!
I would recommend this item to a friend.

QM2 Transatlantic crossing April 2012 cococruisingWe were in the Balmoral suite which is on decks 9 & 10 at the very back of the ship on the side not in the middle. The terrace was HUGE but overlooked from the Queens terrace above. There's a hot tub on the Queens terrace which could be noisy at night with people using it which they shouldn't have been at that time of night. it was directly over our bedroom. Our butler Peter was wonderful and very helpful. The room was always spotless and tidy. We had a treadmill in our room so I didn't have to go up to the gym, great! We had a dressing room each and a bathroom and a shower room upstairs. Downstairs was a enormous lounge / dining room with a kitchen and another shower room. We were a bit worried about being on the very back but it was fine. The only thing we heard was the engines slowing for the Pilot approaching New York. We really didn't want to get off. We'd never be able to afford that suite again. It was offered as a very reasonable upgrade at the last minute. It was originally for President Bush but because it's on 2 floors it wasn't suitable and he was given a suite at the front. We were very lucky.

The rebirth of private art collections has been one of the most significant cultural and social movements of the past 20 years. Before the Bolsheviks nationalised private property, Russia had some of the world's finest private art collections.
Vyacheslav Kantor, one of Russia's richest businessmen with interests in fertilisers and real estate, has spent the past decade building up a collection of 20th-century artists, including works by modernists Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, and Amedeo Modigliani, as well as post-war legends such as Mark Rothko and Ilya Kabakov.
In the past decade, a new elite has eagerly returned to old collecting traditions, motivated by a number of factors – ranging from aesthetic appreciation, a need to decorate the home and art as investment, to a desire to acquire the trappings of power and prestige.
The Russian onslaught on world art markets began when billionaire Viktor Vekselberg scooped up the Forbes Faberge Collection in early 2004 – just months before it was to be auctioned at Sotheby's. That purchase cost him more than $100m, though the final figure has never been revealed.
"There's very strong interest in impressionist and modern masterpieces among the wealthiest people in Russia," says Marina Goncharenko, a Moscow art collector, and director of GMG Gallery.
"They'd rather buy art that has stood the test of time and which is a serious financial asset. They're more likely to spend millions of dollars on a work by an easily recognisable well-known impressionist or modern artist, than spend $100,000 on a work by a little-known contemporary artist."
Kantor's collection includes Modigliani's Seated Girl in a Black Dress (1918), bought at Sotheby's in 2000 for $15.6m on a top estimate of $12m, and Soutine's Le boeuf ecorche (1924), which sold in February 2006 at Christie's for £7.8m ($13.8m at the time) on a top estimate of £4.8m. Until February 2007, it held the record as the most expensive Soutine painting sold at auction.
Kantor also raised the bar for leading Russian post-war artist Ilya Kabakov when, in 2008, he bought the artist's Beetle (1982) at Phillips de Pury & Company for £2.93m ($5.84m at the time), an auction record for Russian post-war art.
His collection forms the Museum of Avant-Garde Mastery in Geneva, where he has a home. However, Kantor is one of only a handful of major Russian collectors who have gone public. Many do not speak about their art holdings, citing privacy and security issues as reasons for their reticence.
Chelsea FC's billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich, is considered another important Russian collector. He is believed to have spent $120m in May 2008 at Sotheby's and Christie's to secure a painting by Lucian Freud and one by Francis Bacon. Abramovich never confirmed the purchases.
Dealers and gallery owners point out that the increase in art sales between 2004 and 2008 in Russia was, in large part, due to a booming real estate market, and the need for the rich to decorate these new flats and homes.
With the property market now moribund and the Russian government forecasting it could be another three years before the economy returns to 2008 levels, the slump in Russian art purchases will probably last until then.
But, despite the current economic difficulties, the fact remains that wealthy Russian collectors will remain priority targets to be courted by art dealers and international auction houses.

"It's really the glue that holds the community together," said 1990 graduate, and Shelby County Schools superintendent, Dorsey Hopson.

(AP) – Family Dollar, which is in the process of being bought by rival Dollar Tree Inc., reported a 16 percent drop in its fiscal second-quarter net income as severe winter weather hurt sales.

Starting over is one of those tasks that requires a fresh set of eyes if it's to be pulled off successfully.
There has to be an acceptance that what was and what will be probably are mutually exclusive and a willingness to try new things, to be different and, above all else, to keep pressing forward.
When Shelby County Commissioners make the last adjustments to the county budget in committee sessions Wednesday, May 28, they will likely increase the 2.5 percent pay raise county Mayor Mark Luttrell proposed for county employees to 3 percent.

Re: "Second Chances" and its disturbing implications
In that story, he supposedly needed to be rebonded. Not because one half was "good" (that is, wussy and indecisive) and one was "evil" (that is, impulsive and selfish), and not because these faults seemed to be deepening with time, but because the splitting was having consequences on the physique of both the duplicates, meaning both would die soon.
In "Second Chances", the two Rikers were neither mentally nor physically deteriorating, and if where were any changes in mental or physical capacity originally, those were too slight to be observed.
But there might be legal issues there, or moral ones not yet written into law. Tuvix was an opposite case, a viable and stable merger of two people, and there existed an obligation to restore the two people, as per 24th century morals and perhaps laws as well. Possibly such morals stem from the same thing as the 24th century deep hatred towards cloning or other duplication. Nevertheless, nobody suggests merging the two Rikers... Say, averaging their minds (the necessary transfer technologies are known to exist in other Trek episodes) and killing one of the bodies.
