CamlImages - Objective Caml image processing library
Note: This library is currently under development.
0. What is CamlImages ?
This is an image processing library, which provides some basic
functions of image processing and loading/saving various image file
formats. In addition the library can handle huge images that cannot be
(or can hardly be) stored into the memory (the library automatically
creates swap files and escapes them to reduce the memory usage).
1. Installation
Read the file INSTALL.
2. Using CamlImages
2.1 Color models
CamlImages supports the following color models:
* Rgb24 -- 24bit depth full color image
* Index8 -- 8bit depth indexed image with transparent information
* Index16 -- 16bit depth indexed image with transparent information
For each color models, the corresponding module is provided. Use the module
Rgb24 if you want to access 24bit depth full color images, for example.
2.2 Load/Save image files and other fancy features
CamlImages supports loading and saving of the following file formats:
Bitmap (.bmp)
Tiff (.tiff or .tif), color only
Jpeg (.jpeg or .jpg)
Png (.png)
Ppm (.pbm, .pgm, .ppm), portable pixmaps
PS (.ps, .eps), PostScript files
X Pixmap (.xpm), no saving
Gif (.gif) (not recommended)
For each image format, we provide a separate module. For instance,
there is a Tiff module to load and save images stored in the tiff file
If you do not want to specify the file format, you can use Image.load:
this function automatically analyses the header of the image file at hand
and loads the image into the memory, if the library supports this format.
CamlImages also provides an interface to the internal image format of
O'Caml's Graphics library (this way you can draw your image files into
the Graphics window).
You can also draw strings on images using the Freetype library, which
is an external library to load and render TrueType fonts.
2.3 Class interface
The modules begins the letter 'o' are the class interface for CamlImages.
2.4 Image swap
When you create/load a huge image, the computer memory may not be
sufficient to contain all the data. (For example, this may happen if
you are working with a scanned image of A4, 720dpi, 24bit fullcolor,
even if you have up to 128Mb of memory!) To work with such huge
images, CamlImages provides image swaps, which can escape part of the
images into files stored on the hard disk. A huge image is thus
partitioned into several blocks and if there is not enough free
memory, the blocks which have not been accessed recently are swapped
to temporary files. If a program requests to access to such a swapped
block, the library silently loads it back into memory.
By default, image swapping is disabled, because it slows down the
programs. To activate this function, you have to modify
Bitmap.maximum_live and Bitmap.maximum_block_size. Bitmap.maximum_live
is the maximum heap live data size of the program (in words) and
Bitmap.maximum_block_size is the maximum size of swap blocks (in
For example, if you do not want to use more than 10M words (that is
40Mb for a 32bit architecture or 80Mb for a 64bit architecture), set
Bitmap.maximum_live to 10000000. You may (and you should) enable heap
compaction, look at the GC interface file, gc.mli, in the standard
library for more details (you should change the compaction configuration).
Bitmap.maximum_block_size affects the speed and frequency of image
block swapping. If it is larger, each swapping becomes slower. If it
is smaller, more swappings will occur. Too large and too small
maximum_block_size, both may make the program slower. I suggest to
have maximum_block_size set to !Bitmap.maximum_live / 10.
If you activated image swapping, cache files for unused swapped
blocks will be removed automatically by Caml GC finalization,
but you may free them explicitly by hand also. The functions and methods
named "destroy" will free those blocks.
The swap files are usually created in the /tmp directory. If you
set the environment variable "CAMLIMAGESTMPDIR", then its value
replaces the default "/tmp" directory. The temporary files are erased
when the program exits successfully. In other situations, for instance
in case of spurious exception, you may need to erase temporary files
3. Miscellaneous
3.1 How do I organize my Makefile to use the library ?
Put the following line at the top of your Makefile:
include /usr/local/lib/ocaml/camlimages/Makefile.config
The library directory can be different if the library is installed
somewhere else. The variables COMPFLAGS_CAMLIMAGES
and LINKFLAGS_CAMLIMAGES are defined in Makefile.config; you should
add them to the compiler and linker options. A sample Makefile is
available at sample/Makefile.sample.

- Carl J. Lizberg
Biden stayed on "the offensive"; that was his only job in the debate. That way, if he lost the debate anyway, which he must have felt he very well could, he shouldn't be blamed for it. No mention of the President's name because of the administration's dark record, which Ryan could have better emphasized, such as the unfortunate foreign policy toward Israel, the turning away from any mention of God, as a policy.
- chuck whitson
2 things to think about: if Obama is re-elected in In November who will he blame the last 4 years economy on? also if we can have gun towers and catwalks around the pisons in our own country why can we not have the same at our embassies around the world with standing orders that anyone trying to breech the Embassy perimter the opertunity to go to hell and shack hands with BinLaden? think about it.

The Great Leap Forward: The Political Economy Of Education In Brazil, 1889-1930
This paper explains how state governments got the funds to pay for education and examines the incentives that politicians had to spend on education between 1889 to 1930. The findings are threefold. First, they show that the Constitution of 1891, which decentralized education and allowed states to collect export taxes to finance expenditures, rendered states with higher windfall tax revenues from the export of commodities to spend more on education per capita. Second, they prove that colonial institutions constrained the financing of education, but that nonetheless the net effect of the increase in commodity exports always led to a net increase in education expenditures.

Serves 4
4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
Ken's Creamy Balsamic Dressing
Place pork chops in bottom of slow cooker. Pour 1 cup of dressing over the top, so that the pork chops are covered. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until tender. Serve with rice, if desired.
I had a bottle of this interesting dressing on hand and decided to put it to work in the slow cooker. The pork chops turned out well. It was a little sweet and tangy and I actually really liked it. 3 stars.

New York Knicks forward Wilson Chandler(notes) isn't happy about his name coming up in the Carmelo Anthony(notes) trade rumors, a source tells the New York Daily News.
And now, the source says, Chandler is switching to the agent who represents Amar'e Stoudemire(notes), Happy Walters. Chandler parted from his last agent, Chris Luchey, last week, the paper reports.
"He's really worried that he's going to get traded," the source told the paper. "He doesn't want to leave New York. And he doesn't want to be in Denver."
Chandler, who is averaging 17.1 points and 6.2 rebounds a game this year, will be a restricted free agent this summer.

Friday's roundup: Ukrainian women win biathlon relay gold
|From left, Eduardo Alvarez of the United States, J.R. Celski of the United States, Chris Creveling of the United States and Jordan Malone of the United States stand on the podium after placing second during the flower ceremony for the men's 5000m short track speedskating relay final at the Iceberg Skating Palace during the 2014 Winter Olympics, Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, in Sochi, Russia. (AP Photo/Ivan Sekretarev)
SOCHI, Russia — Four Ukrainian women gave their politically torn country some good news at the Sochi Games on Friday, and Canada delivered more bad news to the United States — yet another Olympic hockey defeat.
As government and opposition leaders worked to end the months-long Ukrainian crisis that erupted in deadly violence this week, the Ukraine women's 4x6-kilometer biathlon relay team won the nation's first gold medal in two decades.
The four women celebrated with a Ukrainian flag as lawmakers back home paused to mark the occasion.
The first doping cases also hit the Winter Games on Friday.
Italian bobsledder William Frullani and German biathlete Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle were kicked out of the games after positive doping tests. Frullani was in the four-man bobsled race, which begins today. Sachenbacher-Stehle, a five-time Olympic medalist, participated in five events in Sochi but did not win any medals.
SPEEDSKATING: Viktor Ahn, who was born in South Korea and became a Russian citizen in 2011, now has a career record eight short track medals. In addition to winning the 500, he anchored the Russian 5,000 relay team.
The U.S. team won silver in the relay, ending a medal drought for the American speedskaters. The long track team failed to get on the podium in 12 events, and the U.S. had been shut out in the first seven events at short track.
BIATHLON: Ukraine's team of twins Vita and Valj Semerenko, Juliya Dzhyma, and Olena Pidhrushna missed five targets but avoided penalty loops to finish in 1 hour, 10 minutes, 2.5 seconds. Russia was 26.4 seconds behind to take silver, and Norway trailed by 37.6 to win bronze.
FREESTYLE SKIING: Thompson and Serwa gave Canada its third 1-2 finish in freestyle skiing events in Sochi.
The others came in men's and women's moguls. Canada also won gold and bronze in women's slopestyle skiing, and picked up a silver in the men's halfpipe, for a total of nine freestyle medals. In the skicross final, Ophelie David of France wiped out about two-thirds down the course, giving the bronze to Sweden's Anna Holmlund.

*Friday Cat Blogging - 23 January 2009
FRIDAY CATBLOGGING....Poor Inkblot! After two weeks of warm, sunny weather, winter has reasserted itself. It's raining outside, and that means he'd have to get his delicate little paws wet if he wanted to go outside. That was not to be, of course, so after a few minutes convincing himself that the rain was here to stay, he decided discretion was the better part of valor and deposited himself on the bed for a nice midmorning snooze.
And why not? It's been a busy week, hasn't it? I think I might need a little snooze myself. Coming up next week: guest catblogging! I'll bet you can hardly wait.

Off the coast of Puno, Peru are the Uros Islands. The Uros Islands are floating islets that are made of totora reeds grown in Lake Titicaca. Everything that ranges from houses to boats to watch towers are made of these totora reeds. Uros House embodies the beauty of the sea foam, while maintaining the traditional technique and shape of the Uros islands houses.
My sculpture will be mounted to a secured structure on Duffy Square, titled "The Uros House". It will embody the beauty of the sea foam, while maintains the traditional technique and shape of the Uros islands houses. The structure will seemingly arise from the ground as if it were one with the earth.

Courier for rainmeter concept by fediaFediaWatch
©2010-2016 fediaFedia
Project cancelled (delayed?) to make way for Omnimo
About time I submit something...
Anyway, I got this idea to make a microsoft courier homescreen UI for rainmeter, tell me what you think about this!
Update: small changes. Added netbook-like fences panel just for show.
hey man can you tell me where i can get the wallpaper...its just so nice...love the concept too, a shame you cancelled it.
So nice ! Where can I find the wallpaper?
Huge Icons!!
Hahaha... I switched to Macintosh recently... got tired of Windows in general
Awesome~ (Though I rekon it looks a little clogged with the Windows Taskbar)
wow nice man
I want it.... NOW! Lol. I can't wait to see the finished project! I love the orange BTW....
good idea. Try expanding on it!
a Jaw Dropping Concept...
Very cool, love it!
Nice shot and cool concept, I like it
I don't think the grey background behind the headings fit very well. Maybe you could change it to a darker gray or black and add perhaps a shadow to enhance it moar.
I don't think the grey background behind the headings fit very well. Maybe you could change it to a darker gray or black and add perhaps a shadow to enhance it moar.
aww I went to download, I thought this was a completed project lol. I love it, you should make it idk about the orange for the clock and date (I bet that's just how the courier looks) but other than that I really love it. I'd definitely use it
It's almost done, except for the messages thing, I'll probably need some help with that. And no, the orange part was my improvisation to make it less dull, but it's easy to colorize it differently though
PS, is that 59 in the tray your battery level? and if so, how'd you get it to just show the percent? I hate having to hover over the battery icon to see the percentage
nice concept!
Eh, in my opinion it doesn't fit in with Windows 7 and it takes up a lot of space, but cool concept.
Have to agree about it taking up a lot of space, but it works pretty well on 16:9 type screens, because it leaves ~4:3 for the rest of the desktop
Looks great, I'm a big fan of sidebars!
Well then, I hope you're a fan of big sidebars too
good work, the wall?
very cool!
nice, especially like the clock! ;]
It seems an interesting concept, simple and useful, I like it
Really great !
When will you share it ?
When will you share it ?
Nice. Can you tell me what's there in sys tray which shows 59 in red?
My CoreTemp
Nice. So you need MemInfo for the full completion.
Well it doesnt work with 64bit
Ooh, I see. Do you like Chrome (I see you have it installed)? Strange, but on my PC it works not much faster than Firefox. Not to say about Opera.
It's pretty much the same speed for me too, but I discovered flashblock recently and chrome seems to be a bit lighter on my cpu.
Great Work Man!

Schools for Salone partners with Sierra Leoneans to
construct rural schools in impoverished villages and works to improve
educational opportunities for vulnerable communities in Sierra Leone. SfS
responded quickly to the Ebola Epidemic in 2014, providing needed emergency
support to our partner villages. Because we believe self-initiated
solutions are most effective, Schools for Salone seeks partnerships to build
schools, to create healthy learning environments and to support students and
teachers in Sierra Leone. We work to revitalize communities, empower children
and ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for families, communities,
and future generations.
Since 2005, Schools for Salone has raised funds and, through
our Sierra Leone non-profit partner Programme for Children, helped 17 communities
in Sierra Leone build new schools, libraries, wells and latrines where before
there were only buildings destroyed by 11 years of civil war, temporary mud and
thatch structures or nothing at all.
We have conducted five annual week-long training workshops to help over 100
rural teachers improve local learning environments by employing interactive
teaching techniques and using locally available resources. We are
currently working with and supporting local Sierra Leone teachers to
conduct their own workshops for their colleagues. To make this endeavor
successful, we are looking for partners to help us expand our teacher training
programs. This effort was put on hold during the Ebola Epidemic, but will
resume when schools reopen in March 2015.
We are providing scholarships to over 60 students to help them go to and stay
in school rather than drop out to help support their families. We also have a
scholarship program to help rural teachers obtain professional training and
credentials needed for government certification.
During the Ebola Epidemic crisis we responded quickly, delivering much need
rice to remote villages cut off from the flow of supplies. We delivered over
850 battery radios to these same remove villages to enable students to
participate in the Ministry of Education broadcasts while all the schools were
After Ebola, we are expanding our school construction efforts and returning to
completed schools for expansion, improved latrines, solar power and rainwater
collection. We will also reinvigorate our teacher training efforts,
adding a partnership to bring Library skills and improve literacy.
The compassion for Sierra Leone and indefatigable networking
skills of our Executive Director/Founder, Cindy Nofziger, who is a 2012
Washington State Jefferson Award winner, is Schools for Salone's strongest
The key to Schools for Salone's success is our long-standing partnership with
Programme for Children, a trustworthy locally run non-profit
organization on the ground in Sierra Leone. PFC provides all the fiscal and
operational management for our projects, working closely with local communities
to get things done in this small developing
Each of our projects stands on a three-way partnership between Schools for
Salone, Programme for Children and local communities. Without local
participation, there is no project.
In the U.S., Schools for Salone benefits from the combined experience and
support of many returned Peace Corps Volunteers who have lived in these rural
villages, members of the Sierra Leone Diaspora and many others with family or
historical ties to Sierra Leone who advise us on what is needed and what works
best in and for Sierra Leone.
Schools for Salone's biggest challenge is making good progress in
its transformation from a nearly all-volunteer organization to a more
enduring and self-sustainable operating model with sufficient paid staff to
manage the growing interest in and demands for our
"Salone" is the indigenous Krio language name for Sierra Leone.

S.O.S/State of Security (2010) Trailer
Trailer for the documentary S.O.S./State of Security.
January 2001. Nine months before 9/11, Richard Clarke briefs Condoleezza Rice on a strategy to "deter, defeat, and respond vigorously to" al-Qaeda. Clarke's proposal is dismissed. In March 2004, Clarke memorably declares before the 9/11 Commission, "I failed you, your government failed you." He resigns before the Iraq War. The film exposes Clarke's dramatic 30-year experience in the White House as counter-terrorism czar and head of cyber security. Ohayon gives a rare look at the people behind National Security, military generals, CIA, hackers, vets, ambassadors who are speaking out.

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle
12 months on an Avanti Inc
Beating the system - the cycling commuting section
12 months on an Avanti Inc
Well i have hit the 12 month mark commuting on my Avanti Inc with 2000km
under its belt and i though i would post something as i read info like this
prior to buying the bike originally and found it helpful. This is an essay
I commute on this bike 5 days per week and am currently riding 16km each way
on it. I use my commute as a training workout and this bike has been
fantastic for it. I'm 193cm and weigh 90kg so I am on the XL frame. To get
down into a more aggressive position required a few adjustments but I'm
about as low as I can go now whilst still being comfortable on the bike.
The Commute
Mondays is flat out time trial each way to build endurance and times are
kept on Strava, Tuesday and Thursday are recovery slow rides, Wednesday is a
series of sprints on the way in (6 in total) with a max time of around 2mins
flat out this helps with power and pedalling speed? and Friday is riding
the whole commute in the biggest gear to improve strength.
The Bike
I bought the bike as an Inc 2 with the alfine 8 speed, and gates CDC belt
drive and i upgraded the mechanical discs for avid elixr 1's hydraulics as
the mechanical shimanos hit my heel when pedalling due to where the cable
attaches. I rode it as was for a while but during that time the 8 speed
wasn't shifting right in some gears and shimano replaced this under
warranty, there were also some issues with the spokes loosening and the
bottom bracket not set up correctly but these were relatively minor and
rectified free of charge by the LBS. Shimano sent an 11 speed by mistake for
the warranty claim so this was fitted anyway (win!!) along with the 11 speed
I drive a certain distance to my commute point so this bike is perfect for
that scenario as no grease makes the car trip very clean. There is nil
maintenance and the riding is deadly quite with only the whirl of the tyres
on pavement to be heard. In foul weather the bike performs flawlessly and
only needs a hose down when i get home. My commute started as 6km but i have
extended it over time to the current 15km each way which takes around
30-35mins (on Mondays). The bike can take racks, mudguards and panniers but
i use a backpack. Other geometry specs can be found here
http://www.avantibikes.com/au/bikes/on- ... tro/inc-3/
As i rode more i made some minor changes to the bike:
* Trimmed bars by 50mm each end
* Flipped stem and removed all spacers underneath it to get a bit
lower and rolled bars forward
* Replaced the conti sport contact 700x37 with gp 4 seasons 700x28
* Added shimano m530 clipless pedals and mt34 shoes which replaced
flats and a pair of asics
* Replaced the brake pads with sintered pads
I haven't noticed any issues with the bike or things that i haven't liked or
that annoy me in the design. The gear shifting is great, the cable takes a
bit to full stretch and settle in but i have not adjusted it in months now.
Shifts are fast but you do generally need to back off ever so slightly
especially if shifting when doing a climb for instance. The avid elixrs are
ok they did need to be bled a bit early on but have been fine since. The
frame feels sturdy even when putting in and the seat is comfortable. The
performance of the belt is fantastic but not having ever ridden a road bike
with chain and der setup i don't have anything to compare to.
As mentioned i like to use my commute as a workout and as training to get
faster. If you are a fast rider you can ride fast on this bike (in original
spec but even more so now), it wont slow you down considerably. It is no
road bike but once the lightweight tyres are on being on a "urban" bike is
only really noticeable if there are lots of hills or inclines in the ride as
the added weight is a burden. It isn't heavy by commuter bike standards but
it is still 10-11kg so heavy compared to a roady. I have raced my mate home
on the same bike and i can easily account for him but when he is on the road
bike i struggled to even draft him but that was prior to the 4 seasons and
clipless pedals going on.
I noticed speed and performance gains on my strava times after a few of the
* 8 speed to 11 speed - this saw my overall time and several segment
times improve noticeably. This was instant but the change of hub was after 6
month of riding so i had some fitness base to work with. The gearing was
closer and obviously i had an extra 3 gears. With the 8 speed i did max out
going down hills with 2% average grade. The 11 speed could still pedal down
these hills and my sprinting only uses up to 10th on the flats so there is
still scope for improvement there.
* 700x28 4 season tyres - this saw my sprint times improve probably
as a result of improved acceleration as the new tyres weighed only 220g ea
compared to the 500g sport contacts. My sprint average speeds improved
around 2km/h. It was noticeably easier to accelerate and maintain top speed.
* Clipless pedals and spd shoes - after 4 weeks of riding with these
this saw overall times, segment times and my sprint times all improve. I
estimate my av sprint speed based on strrava averages improved by 3-4km/h
and i can now get in the low 40's on the flat for efforts up to 2 mins. The
clipless also improved my hill climb segment times although this was in
combination with lowering seat height slightly too. The bike handling is
much better being attached to the bike vs on flats and i am still learning
pedalling technique but there are gains in the smoothness of my pedalling (i
think). I would not go back to flats even in spite of my tipping over at an
intersection on the first ride with clipless. I have sinced back the tension
As i am getting faster and better at riding i am feeling like a more
comfortable position is to be down lower than i currently am, in combination
with extending my commute out to 35km each way after Easter, this has
resulted in a dropbar conversion being planned. Im hoping to get more
aerodynamic along with a few more hand positions for the longer commute. The
only unknown is how the geometry will work out but i have fitted the bars
prior to making this decision and i felt there was enough there to suggest i
can overcome the long top tube with a shorter stem and adjusting the spacers
etc without the bike becoming a pig.
I have got all the gear and will be working on it over the next few weeks as
time allows. The mods will include:
* Giant contact 44cm drop bars, 135mm drop 90mm reach
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-gb/gea ... p.bar.road
* Versa VRS 11 shifters http://www.sussex.com.tw/versa.html
* TRP spyre mechanical disc brakes
<https://www.trpbrakes.com/category.php?productid=1199&catid=206> &catid=206
* 60mm and 90mm stems
* Jagwire hyper universal stainless low compression brake cable kit
* 3m shimano sp41 outer gear housing
* Fizik black performance bar tape
I will post some pics as i go. And will update this post with how it goes
after i start riding it.
You may say just get a road bike but for the ability of being able to put
this in the car without getting grease on things and it being virtually
maintenance free even after riding in any weather these are two things i am
unwilling to give up to replace this bike with a chain and der setup even if
it does mean i can go faster. I also don't have the funds for 2 bikes
although with the dropbar conversion costing $400 this is probably arguable.
But given i am on this bike every day i figure i can justify the cost. The
initial outlay of $1200 for the bike has been recouped in a yr from not
paying for train travel even with the added items mentioned above factored
in. If i spend another $400 on it now i will have a IGH commuter with drop
bars and a belt drive for well under $2000. I am lucky to find something
similar unless you look at the milk bikes and thes cost a packet. Also the
$1700 quote for full Di2 conversion whilst tempting was just too much, even
taking into account my travel savings in the long term.....maybe later. The only other concern is going back to mechanical discs but plenty of cx riders survive on these.
If the dropbars perform as expected the only other thing i would consider is
maybe looking at getting the CDX belt installed when the cdc belt is worn
out along with investigating what using cogs with different teeth
configurations might provide me as far as performance gains go? Im not
really sure how all this works but gates do make front and rear sprockets
with different teeth arrangements.
Ps how to i get photos off my iphone onto here?
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Good story, keep it updated
Pictures: install Photobucket app, upload photos to there, then copy the IMG link and paste into your posts.
Easiest way to compare gearing is with a spreadsheet. I can give you some examples later. Basically it will shift all the gears up or down, like a new diff ratio in a car. So the gap between them is the same, but instead of gears 1-11 it will feel like you have gears 2-12 (for example). This won't necessarily make you faster, unless you are spinning out top gear regularly (which I doubt). It may help if 1st gear is too tall and you need a lower gear, but that doesn't sound like the case either.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Yeah the cogs would only be a long range option, at the moment i dont use much below 4 and i cant sprint in 11 without dropping my cadence and really struggling so the current range suits my ability and riding atm.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Wow that is slammed for a flat bar!
Though given the drop bars will be further out and don't have a rise, you might want to move them up a spacer or two when you do the conversion.
Given what you say above I wouldn't bother doing anything to the gearing. Lots of cost for no benefit.
Tips from me:
Run the shifter cable around the head tube, makes for a smoother arc and stops it rubbing on the frame.
Consider the same for the rear brake cable (though I run mine with front-left and rear-right brakes, which does this more neatly)
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Yeah was thinking about 1 spacer and flipping stem right way up as a starting point but i think 2-3 spacers might be needed plus a shorter stem else the drops will be too low. I figure that i want the drops about 50-75mm lower than current bars which will leave the hoods a bit higher but the extra reach might negate this.
What do you mean by running the shifter around the head tube? From a cockpit view do you mean running it around the left of the tube then crossing back to the right side to follow clips under bottom bracket?
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
I like my brakes left rear front right for some reason makes braking and shifter at same time easier?
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Cable routing question - yes.
With the versa levers it is tricky to brake and shift at the same time with one hand hence my swap to left front (more power) leaving the right hand free to just shift.

Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
If you're only riding on the drops it should feel fairly aggressive, for sprinting or downhills. You'll probably spend most of your time on the hoods though, so you might want to lower it again later. But don't feel you have to follow rules about positioning, just do whatever is comfortable for your physique and riding style.
Looking at the bars, I would rotate them up slightly, so the ends are pointing down at about 5° to the rear instead of horizontal. That will level out the tops and make the transition onto the hoods smoother. Hoods should be roughly parallel with the ends, but again do what feels comfortable.
PS if you don't use the 110mm stem I'd be happy to take it off your hands (stack height depending).
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
After fitting the hoods the bars did rotate down a bit but im happy with this setup but i might just tape the cables and ride a bit before putting bar tape on. At this stage it all feels good with the 60mm stem. If im happy with it Matt the original 110mm stem is yours if you want it as your advice has been helpful. It has some paint off but is still fine just a no name though
Measurements are
Seatpost to bar centre (horizontal) 635mm
Top tube 545mm
Anything else that is useful to know?
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Next step shift outer cable install. I have run this around the steerer tube and the crossed back to the right side under frame to meet the first clip on the right hand side. The arc looks ok and the bars can go full lock no worries. Could possibly go with less arc?? But i think this looks ok. I have a jagwire cable adjuster at the shifter end (are these meant to be fixed in??) and a cable ferrule in the end of the outer. The cable runs under the BB and i have marked where i want to cut at the hub end using white out. I might go a smidge longer just in case. Once cut (removing inner and the cable cutters make this cut easy) i will install a ferrule and attach the rubber bellows that sit in the cable holder on the hub. From here the cable bolt is attached at 184mm.
http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u44 ... 62w2pf.jpg
Before attaching cable the shifter needs to be in gear 11.
The shifter shifts perfectly and yellow dots aligned first go!

Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Looking good. The cable barrel adjuster just sits in the shifter, it will be held in ace when the cable installation is complete.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Brakes and brake outers in place. The trp spyres look great and fit really neatly. The jagwire universal sport brake kit looks good.
The trojan cable cutters i got from bunnings have cut both the gear outer and brake outer and both inners perfectly with really neat square cuts. I got a dremel for this but it definitely isnt required.
Next to cut brake outers to right length (once again might err on long side by 10mm) then thread inner and attach to brakes. Instructions say to loosen brake bolts, clamp brakes on rotor then tighten
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Have you done a hub oil change yet? The shimano method tends to pressurize the hub when you inject new oil, which can flip the seal lips outward and create a leak. I now inject the oil via a bit of shrink tube on the end of the injector tube (plastic hode attached to a 25ml syringe). This is shrunk small enough to allow air out as oil goes in, so the refill only takes 30 seconds.
I have both the 11 speed Inc 3 and a basic road bike. The road bike is faster overall but the Inc 3 is so fast and easy to shift I am always in the right gear. And apart from an annual oil change, totally maintenace free. 5000 kms in 2 years and the original tyres are just beginning to show some wear.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Could you be more specific about "wasn't shifting right"? I have an 8 speed which very infrequently has slipped and I'm just curious as to what your problem was.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Yeah mine was missing the gears when shifting and was regularly skipping gears often a while after the shift was made, especially if i didnt get 3-4 revolutions of pedals in after a change and when under load. Infrequent skipping is prob more just a minor cable adjustment required, some of the hubs work better if yellow dots just off centre either way.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Well the cables are on and fitted nicely. The brakes feel ok and they do stop well with no shudder or noise but they do take a bit of a squeeze before engaging so i think i might need to pre load the brake arm a bit and re adjust cable at the brake nut. One thing though is the brake is very close to the spokes on the front so i may need a 160mm rotor to address this if it becomes a problem.The shifters work great and the hoods and drops feel good although i did adjust the bars down a bit as the shifter was a bit hard to reach from the drops. I havent ridden if far yet but things look good. The bar tape went on ok but isnt the best job ever but will do.
I will commute on it next week and report back on how it all goes.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Looks good. Bar tape should be a right handed helix on the left bar, opposite to the right bar which is done correctly with a left handed helix.
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
also most people don't run the tape in that close to the stem so there is room for lights computer etc
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Yeah i was looking at that....moreso now my new light has arrived....will fix the bar tape up as left side was done first and sucks a bit
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
Is it possible for the spokes to flex out under load and contact the front brake as there isnt much clearance maybe 1-2mm.
Im not sure is this is ok or i need to go to a 160mm rotor and adaptor?
Re: 12 months on an Avanti Inc
First ride today on the drop bar avanti inc 3!
The bike felt good in the hoods and the levers shifted perfectly. The brakes performed well. They are not as powerful as hydros but the do stop the bike when needed. Had no issues with the spokes contacting the caliper which was good. The only problem is my wrists are angled up a bit when in the drops so i may need to untape bars tip them forward and readjust hoods but getting this so the levers are still reachable in the drops could be tricky. Overall im happy with the conversion but just need to do some tweaking to get it spot on. I was thinking about shifting saddle forward but i think this will alter my relationship to the pedals rather than just bringing me closer to the bars which would help my drops position.

Inspiration – The Perfect Country Bedroom
One of these days I am going to have a little house in the country.
Nothing fancy pants, just a modest cottage nestling in a valley with a stream trickling by. The rooms will be square and perfectly formed. A fireplace in every room, windows unadorned by curtains, floorboards waxed and swept. There will be no superfluous decorations, just the things that make day-to-day living pleasant and comfortable…
And the bedrooms will be the simplest but most comfortable rooms of all.
Here's my wishlist for the perfect country bedroom.
- Iron bedsteads. Timeless and sturdy and perfectly suited to life in the country.
- Comfortable bedding. Plump duck down duvets and eider-downs to snuggle under in the winter and to air out of the windows in spring.
Simple furniture. Chunky wood or pieces rescued from a previous life. Suitcases and stools make perfect bedside tables.
- A rug to ease the transition from bed to bathroom.
- A few essentials by the side of the bed. A lamp, a book, a water carafe.
- Flowers of course. Best when picked staight from the garden and displayed in simple jug.
- Simple decorations. Flower pictures, a cushion on a wooden chair, a few family mementos, a touch of lace…
Do we all have these fantasies? Or is it just me?

So lovely & peaceful – these bedrooms will go everywhere, not just in the country!

I certainly share your fantasy! I'm particularly drawn to the first image. Perhaps not the yellow bedstead for me, but I love the use of stacked suitcases and old books. Lovely!

Just lovely Carole. I've just invested in another stack of vintage suitcases for our bedroom, in fact, I think i've got a bit of a vintage suitcase problem, I seem to have them all over the house.

AFI Transferring Grant to Another Organization FY 2012
- Audience:
- Assets for Independence (AFI)
- Category:
- Guidance, Policies, Procedures
Transferring an AFI Grant to Another Organization
The Office of Community Services (OCS) created the AFI Resource Center so grantees would never think their problems are insurmountable. The Center has experts on virtually every issue that AFI projects confront, and grantees should always reach out if they're feeling overwhelmed.
If an AFI grantee does get to a point where changes in design and personnel cannot solve its project's problems, after discussing the situation with its AFI Resource Coordinator, the grantee should try to transfer its grant to another local organization before ending the IDA offering altogether.
Project partners and other AFI grantees are often the best organizations to transfer a grant to.
The process for transferring an award is not complicated but may take some time, so grantees considering this step should begin the process as soon as they make a decision.
When an AFI Grantee May Transfer Its Award
The following conditions must be in place to transfer an AFI award:
• The grant cannot be in the last year of the original project period.
• There must be unused funds remaining from the original AFI award.
• Another organization must be willing and able to accept responsibility for implementing
the project.
• The potential successor grantee must be able to work in the same geographic area.
Procedures to Transfer an AFI Grant
Review the instructions for relinquishment:
1. The original grantee should notify OGM and OCS that it wishes to relinquish its
2. After the original grantee has declared its intent to relinquish an award, it should work
with OCS to identify a successor.
3. If the original grantee has discussed a transfer with a specific organization, the AFI
Resource Center will consult with that organization to make sure it is a good fit.
4. If the original grantee has not suggested a recipient for the transfer, or if that group
declines, the Resource Center will try to identify a successor among current AFI
grantees in the area.
5. When the Resource Center finds a new grantee, OCS will facilitate the transfer by:
• Helping the original grantee identify the amount of unused Federal funds
remaining. If any funds were drawn down, this figure will come from the most
recent Financial Status Report. OCS will review the figure with OGM.
• Working with the new grantee to prepare a proposal that mirrors the original
project, and develop a new budget based on any remaining Federal funds.
• Working with the successor grantee to identify source(s) for the required
non-Federal cash contribution if the original award's source(s) is no longer
6. The new grantee will prepare a formal proposal, similar to an original AFI application,
including the budget forms, project summary, narrative, and required certifications
and assurances.
7. The AFI Resource Center will unofficially review the proposal and consult with OGM.
8. The Resource Center will let the successor organization know of any modifications
needed and ask the successor to submit an official application, including the
proposal and a cover letter stating the agency's willingness to assume responsibility
for the award.
9. The Resource Center will put the proposal through the official review process and
track its progress.
10.When the transfer is approved, the Resource Center will notify the new grantee.
