Reviews for Injustice: Gods Among Us - Ultimate Edition (NA)
Comic Characters Beat Each Other Up...Need I say more?darkhorse441 | Feb. 17, 2016 | See all darkhorse441's reviews »
Injustice: Gods Among Us is a fighting game featuring DC characters. But how is it? Well let's break it down: Gameplay: It's a fighting game, and a darn good one. The characters are all balanced and there's a character for every fighting style. The game also adds some nifty features to the genre, such as the ability to wager part of your power to cause extra damage, interacting with the environment, or the ability to beat your enemy into another stage. The AI while playing against the computer can go from ridiculously easy to controller-smashingly hard depending on the setting. To prolong the game's duration, the S.T.A.R Labs missions are added, but are frankly kind of useless. Overall, Injustice is a very solid fighting game. Graphics: The graphics are honestly good. Sometimes character's faces or designs are a little strange, but overall I have no complaints. I was able to run the game on maximum settings with little or no lag and it looked good, especially the backgrounds. Story: For a fighting game, the story is surprisingly decent. It feels very much part of the DC universe with its stories of alternate universes and wacky excuses to explain how for example. Green Arrow can survive getting beaten up by Superman. The game even has a tie-in comic that has been running for years, so that should show how good the story is. Gameplay Experience: I had no significant lag, bugs, or crashes during gameplay. However, I have not played online. I have heard that the PC port has one of the worse online multiplayer experiences of the WB Games catalog, which is saying something. However, if you want the game to play alone or side by side with a friend, go ahead and get it. For the usual cost of the game, which comes complete with all DLC, it's worth a play.
Pretty decent fighter, good amount of fun to be had.bullkrieg | Jan. 23, 2016 | See all bullkrieg's reviews »
I actually bought this game for the story which was pretty interesting, I totally got sucked into it. But the fighting itself is quite fun as well, the characters are balanced well and the abilities are inspired and fun to use. Playing through the single player was a great time. I don't really see myself coming back to the game again and again but it was a solid buy and I enjoyed my time with it a lot.

I really enjoyed this game, but I have always followed these characters in their comic books. The story was pretty solid, not exactly groundbreaking, but it kept the game moving. I ended up playing with a controller, the keyboard and mouse wasn't comfortable for me. The arena interactions brought variety, and I appreciated that your score depended on how well you utilized your environment and skill-sets. After the main game, the STAR lab missions didn't exactly keep me interested. I stuck around to earn some achievements, but it didn't completely envelope me after the main story. The main game took me around 6-8 hours.
PC port is good bit its better if you have a controllerdannie1993 | July 15, 2015 | See all dannie1993's reviews »
As all fighting games go they keyboard is not a great way to play. This game is no different and if you want the best experience I suggest using a controller. The graphics settings are great and if you have a powerful enough PC it will look pretty good. Although is it just me or does superman look a bit awkward in this game? Overall it plays pretty much the same as MK9 except for the blocking style, here you go back to block instead of holding a button. In terms of fighting mechanics if you like MK9 you are gonna like this but just like MK9 the character movements are a bit on the clunky side.
Good Game, Marred by being on PCchcoman123 | May 30, 2015 | See all chcoman123's reviews »
I love this game . I'm a huge fan of the DC universe. and I love fighting games. I would always play this at my friends house, so when I saw this on sale for $5 dollars, I instantly decided to buy it. It's still the same great game on consoles, but there is one major issue with this game is that it's on pc. There are no graphic options to tweak at all, besides resolution and fullscreen. The controls are the worst part, as you HAVE to use the keyboard for a fighting game. If you buy this, buy an external controller. Other than that, it's a great game with a very good story and great mechanics. The game is fairly balanced and it's easy to become good at. Every character is fun to play as, and all have great designs. Overall, I recommend this game, just get a controller with it.
The Gods are among us!GatsuRage | May 27, 2015 | See all GatsuRage's reviews »
If you like fighting games in general, you should get this one, why? well, for instance it has amazing graphics, a large roster of characters, and MOST important, you can finally make your dream match: Batman vs Superman! and kick superman's butt literally! So what's good about this game besides the graphics and the characters.. well you also have 2 variation of each map, and that makes a huge amount of maps! tho stages in a fighting games were always kinda like nothing important, on this game you will have (op) pieces of the map you can interact with for make (huge) extra damage to your opponent, or for escape from a corner! I should also mention that this game is made by the same people who brought you Mortal Kombat 9 and MK X. The main difference from their MK series, is that here you don't need to push a button block, you block by holding BACK like you would do in your regular fighting game (guilty gear, street fighter, KOF, skullgirls, etc) which makes a lot of difference when it comes to core gameplay. So to sum up, great cast of fighters, awesome history mode (rare in a fighting game) several game modes, dream matches! and so much more! The bad things are mainly the netcode, meaning you will most likely LAG during online gaming, the object you interact during a fight are too overpowered... thank god we can turn this feature off before a fight, but at ranked you will have to deal with it. Is also not that well optimize.. so if you have a low end rig don't even try it, I had difficulties running the game with a HD5670 1gb gddr5, so keep that in mind! That's pretty much it! I hope YOU give it a go, it's a great fighting game and even if you are not a comic nerd you will still enjoy the game as the fighting gameplay is fast paced, solid and well made! Have fun!

i liked this game while playing i can select my opponents and my player what ever according to my wish . i always want to play some combinations of the player while playing a normal game but this is AWESOME . from most of the fights i liked batman vs flash very much
It's cool I guesssycomantis1991 | May 25, 2015 | See all sycomantis1991's reviews »
I do enjoy this game, but it's far from adoration. It feels just like Mortal Kombat 9. The problem is that more characters feel the same in this game, likely due to NetherRealm being afraid to add anyone people don't know (even Lobo and Zatanna, DLC characters, were both in the Justice League and Young Justice shows, Zatanna being pretty prominent in the latter). That being said, it's still good fun and worth its lowered price, though I don't think it's a profoundly unique experience.
Not as good as I hopedsamtahbou | May 25, 2015 | See all samtahbou's reviews »
I got this game on sale on gmg, and I'm glad I did, I would have been quite disappointed to buy it at full price. I'm a huge fan of the new MK games, they've been revives marvelously, they were gone from the mainstream for a long time because they took a nose dive into unplayable territory, and now they are available for everyone to enjoy. So as I had MK on my PlayStation I decided I'd like to try Injustice, so I got that for my PC hoping it would be a similar experience. I was very surprised to find out it wasn't. The input response is ridiculous, I have to attempt a combination of buttons dozens of time just to get it right once, it's very unforgiving, too twitchy, and the delay time before button presses needs to be so small, as to give people pain in their hands attempting to pull the move off. Even getting through the tutorial was a chore, Never mind actual gameplay... The game does have quite a few positive things, it has a few game modes beside the classic tower story mode (beat every character in the game one by one to reach the boss mode), it has a mission mode and a challenge mode with some achievements to unlock and subgoals, which was a nice addition to the expected PvE story and the 1v1 PvP online. I just wish the controls were a little less stiff so I would enjoy the game more :\ Long story Short, I enjoyed the new MK releases more...
Fun fightervipe_1 | Dec. 11, 2014 | See all vipe_1's reviews »
Injustice: Gods Among Us - Ultimate Edition is a fun superhero/villain based fighting game. There is a large assortment of characters and stages + a reasonable amount of modes and moves. Graphics and sound for the game are very good, with a couple of things to mention. This game is a particularly great port, and it is a system hog. Also, the game has an odd "muted" tone to it's colors not seen in the console version. I recommend a SweetFX mod to liven up the environments and characters. I'm not a big fighting game person, so Injustice is fast paced and difficult for me. There is a good amount of moves and a lot of differences between characters. The Ultimate Edition gives you several more characters and items. This game is real deep nor will last for hours on end, but it's fun and competitive with other players. Very worth it for DC comics fans.
The best aspects of Mortal Kombat and Detective Comicsheerox328 | Dec. 7, 2014 | See all heerox328's reviews »
Do you love fighting games? Do you love DC super heroes? If the answer to both is yes, this game is a must buy. Not only is the combat and action incredibly fun and addictive, but the story is actually strikingly good! Multiplayer is also a lot of fun and there is a large catalog of heroes to choose from. Not much else to say about this game as it's rather self-explanatory what it is. Definitely worth it to those who are interested in this genre.
Mortal Kombat with better AI and not as many comboscappincrunch | Oct. 30, 2014 | See all cappincrunch's reviews »
If you're a MK fan, you will enjoy this game. If you're a DC fan, you will enjoy this game, but if you're a fan of any other fighting sim, you might find this combat incredibly stiff. Don't let these swift, fast, and powerful super heroes and villains trick you into thinking you're going to get one epic battle. These characters are very stiff and their power is insignificant. Hitting someone with a batmobile or putting multiple bullets into someone's body will only do a little damage. Nonetheless, it's quite enjoyable for me. Not because I like MK. I actually hate mortal kombat's stiff combat and AI designed to read your buttons. This game is a bit more forgiving. I just love the characters and the story is interesting to me.

I loved this game, it's some type game Mortal Kombat, which are in fact the same creators, but this will put some more combos strokes, that is fine, but the game is old, aunsigue Seeming one juegaso, and graphics super well, very happy with the game and my investment.
Great GameRagingcuppcakes | Oct. 27, 2014 | See all Ragingcuppcakes's reviews »
Not the biggest fan of arcade fighting games but I couldn't pass this game up when it was on sale. Great game with an amazing story. Even though I wasn't impressed by graphics it was still a great looking game. If you are a fan of comics or grew on DC's Justice League cartoons it is a must have, even if you casually play arcade fighters. It is also worth mention the story is pretty short, about 5 hours, but the STAR Labs challenges make up for it.
Fun but bad framerate on lower end PCcrazycrik | Sept. 23, 2014 | See all crazycrik's reviews »
DISCLAIMER: WARNING - If you don't meet the specs DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! this includes the graphics card. I met every other spec, but I have intel graphics. (I know...) Usually I am fine with other games. but it couldn't run it. it is a bad PC port. If you greatly exceed the specs, grab it. arkham asylum and origins run fine. Also, the online is completely broken. Netherrelm are releasing patches every couple of days, but parts are still broken. Now, that being said, this is one of the best fighters I have ever played. It has a lot of obscure DC characters, but the whole justice league, batman, superman and green lantern villains, and people who I don't know. But why would they use killer frost instead of Mr. Freeze? WHY!?!?!? The story of the game is really good. I like the idea of explaining mirror matches, and almost every character has a twin. I won't go into detail as to not spoil anything. The fighting mechanics are easy to learn and fast paced, fun and awesome. The super combos/specials are the most awesome things I have ever seen. (e.x. - superman uppercuts other characters into the atmosphere and then punches them back down.) For multiplayer, play local, don't try online unless a patch is finally released. Overall, this game has a great story, good fighting mechanics, and Fun local multiplayer but for lower end PC's the game runs in Slow motion.
Epic Battles Showdown!Azrael360 | July 13, 2014 | See all Azrael360's reviews »
First, I don't consider myself a "hardcore" fan of fighting games, just casual. I used to be, especially for series like Marvel vs. Capcom, The King Of Fighters, and others SNK games in the past, but never really enjoyed popular series like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. And since this game was played almost exactly like a Mortal Kombat game, I wasn't sure if I should get it, but my love for the DC Universe made me buy it during a sale, and oh boy, I'm glad I did. This game is epic!, that's the word. Epic. The battles are a real show, the story is great, the control is good, and technically in graphics and sound is great. The game runs with locked 60 FPS, so if you don't have a powerful PC, most likely you won't be able to run the game at full speed, and maybe you will have to reduce the resolution of your monitor. The battles are fast, and as expected, they are very similar to the battles in Mortal Kombat, except for the gore. But having the chance to play as one of a selected group of the most powerful characters from the DC Universe, it's a blast. Really fun. Even The Joker is here... The moves and specials are really true to the nature of the characters, the locations are also well designed, big and interactive. You can use them to your advantage, by picking up or activating something to use against the other fighter. As for the control, it's really good, easy to learn, and precise, except if you have a gamepad like an Xbox 360 controller. This gamepad wasn't designed for fighting games, so I recommend a proper fighting controller. If you can't, then you have to play very carefully to make the movements as best as you can. They are easier with the D-pad. Do yourself a favor and try to get this game. If you're not sure like I was, then during a sale. It's worth it.
A Review of Injustice: Gods Among Usmrminecrafter1 | June 11, 2014 | See all mrminecrafter1's reviews »
It is a superb fighting game. On PC, it maybe one of the best options available . Compared to games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, it is not better than those two series. But the gameplay is just marvelous. Interaction with the environment during fights is a really interesting game mechanic that works well. The soundtrack fits the game, but it is not something that I would prefer to listen to after a while. The graphics are pretty good but it is not the main thing that will wow you. The cast of characters to fight with are astounding, with plenty of good choices. Overall I recommend this excellent fighting game.
Great Fighting Game, crazy fighting action moves and stuntsHighlander9782 | June 8, 2014 | See all Highlander9782's reviews »
This game is from the makers of Mortal Kombat, and they did a great job with this DC fighting game. The graphics are top-notch, and there are tons of characters to choose from. The maps or arenas are very visually beautiful to fight in and can be interacted with as well, such as picking up cars and throwing them at your opponents. You can even knock your opponent out of the map and into another area. The special moves performed by these characters are over the top and outrageous but great for this type of fighting game, such as Doomdays special where the knocks you all the way to the bottom of the Earths core and back up lol. Definite buy if you're a fighting fan and a DC fan.
Good game, but the multiplayer falls incredibly short.DivinitySquared | June 1, 2014 | See all DivinitySquared's reviews »
The game is a good one, the characters are nice, the combat is fluid and it plays well when with friends. The graphics are pretty good, the maps are varied and its fun. However, the sound is lacking, its not an amazing soundtrack by far. Something else I tend to notice is that the multiplayer is completely broken. You can't queue up online at all, and finding a match is incredibly difficult, so difficult in fact that people have to arrange to play with each other through other means.
A must have for the fans.vicenteviana | April 16, 2014 | See all vicenteviana's reviews »
If you are a DC fan, this is a big deal; and even if you just like fight games, this is a great opportunity. Awesome graphics combined with a perfectly designed game, and you also have the chance to update the game when they launch some cool new features to it. Buy it, you won't regret it.
Perfect for newcomers.Montanker | Feb. 4, 2014 | See all Montanker's reviews »
I have a strange relationship with fighting games. I absolutely love them, but they never seem to love me back. I want to combo together awesome attacks, but I don't have the right kind of mutant 10 fingered hand required to do so. I love the character designs and settings, but half the time it feels like the story was written by the lead publisher's kid. Injustice does away with all that. The combos are flashy and easy to pull off, the story is well written and well told, and the difficulty settings range from impossible to almost insultingly easy. If you're like me and want a fighting game that doesn't expect you to dedicate years of your life mastering the controls, or just want to see a bunch of DC characters throw each other into stuff, this is the game for you!
The fruition of the ideas in Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe!MechaYakuza | Feb. 4, 2014 | See all MechaYakuza's reviews »
Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe was a cool idea but it was missing something. Maybe it was the bright primary color pallet from Mortal Kombat that oddly felt strange mixed with the DC characters. Or maybe it was the really bad story that forced these two worlds together. Or the lack of any real character progression. But with Injustice, NetherRelm follows up the amazing MK reboot and jumps feet first into a true DC fighter that I feel rivals Marvel VS Capcom for the super hero fighting crown. The story, the RPG-light level system, the art direction, the amount of unlockables, and the insane Super moves that look like an old-school Final Fantasy summon cinema, make this a must play for any fighting game fan.
Good fighting gamekalil | Dec. 16, 2013 | See all kalil's reviews »
I'm not a fan of fighting games , but this game if I charm. I have seen most of his videos from that ad. This is proof that if you know how to Netherrealms fighting game Mortal Kombat as having the great reference and now with Injustice . Now analyzing the game: Plot: very good story was the truth the parties never imagine what would happen in the universe of DC Comics. Although I must say that your story reminds me of the movie The Crisis on two Earths , and prefer not to spoiler. Gameplay: easy, smooth, nothing complex , has more combos mortal kombat characters , so if you have to be a professional to handle the characters to perfection if anyone wants . Graphics: excellent. the design of the costumes are great and highly detailed scenarios in my opinion too, seem original . Maybe not have graphics game like Metal Gear , Final Fantasy or Bioshock . But no need , just make the game good. Sound : not a game with great soundtrack, but it's good . What really surprised me is that the game is doubled in Latin America which is unusual . Generally games microsoft bend in Latin , rarely sony games and more rare games multiplatform bend . For those who like the Latin dub , here Injustice . Innovation: it may be your weak point , but really fighting games tend not innovate much. Many fights, Biography of the characters, alternative or independent stories of the characters, etc. . Although I admit that the challenge Laboratories STARS contains original challenges. In conclusion Injustice Gods Among Us is a good fighting game, recommended, entertaining and super- moment .
Great Fun But Lacks Depthjesterx7769 | Nov. 16, 2013 | See all jesterx7769's reviews »
I am giving this game an 85 because it achieves what it set out for but lacks depth. The game is tremendous fun playing as your favorite DC heroes/villains with each having their own unique moves which makes it fun. The story mode is also much better than I thought it would be and is a good way to force you to play as different characters. The downside to the game is I feel the fighting mechanics lack depth. I straight up admit I am not very good at fighting games but this game relies on trying to link small two button combos. For example every character essentially has the same moves which are Down, Left, then "Action Button". You do this same small combos over and over trying to link them. It would be nice if there were more complicated combos and longer more powerful ones.
Justified!jkyle | Nov. 14, 2013 | See all jkyle's reviews »
I have to admit, I am a huge fan of fighting games and as the PC is my platform of choice, I am over the moon about the recent influx of fighting games. Up until now fighters were relegated to consoles, but with Steam Big Picture and controller support, developers are catering to the expanding needs of serious PC gamers. After enjoying Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter X Tekken on PC, I waited patiently for Injustice to arrive. Rather than just receive a shallow port of the base game, Netherrealm Studios have delivered an ultimate edition that collects all the console DLC into one great value package. Care has been taken with the port so that it feels like a genuine PC release with high resolution graphics that put the Xbox 360 version to shame. Clocking in at a whopping 20.2GB, this is a fully featured release with high resolution textures and upscaled models. The game itself is faultless. If you are a fan of fighting games in general, then this is the title for you. I loved Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe, but craved more superhero characters to toy with. With the addition of other beloved DC characters such as Deathstroke and Green Arrow, this game hits all of the fanboi buttons, and is an essential addition to your collection, especially for fans of fighting games and comics/superheroes alike. As a fan of both, I was in nerd heaven with this particular game. Amazing graphics, perfect controls, and flawless animations round out an amazing package. I can't recommend the game enough and feel that developers who keep the PC in mind should be rewarded to show that the PC isn't just for World of Warcraft and Civ - although I play those too! While some characters may feel a tad overpowered, you will still find yourself picking from your favorite character roster in the comics and learning every move available for them. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Injustice. We really want to keep the momentum that the PC has picked up to continue.
The Meaning of Greatness.Tinyarmsman | Nov. 9, 2013 | See all Tinyarmsman's reviews »
This game is outstanding. I have been hyped up for this game for weeks and on release I was in awe by how incredibly amazing this game was. The detailed graphics, sound track, and the combat system made this my favorite fighting game since Mortal Kombat:Armageddon. I have been playing this game for weeks since launch and the DLC characters were great(Martian Manhunter). I though a bit on Bat Girl and others on their outfit at first but, then I thought, "This is classic!" I was quick to judge but grew to love. This game is recommended in every way possible.
A great fighting game.reconalpha | Nov. 7, 2013 | See all reconalpha's reviews »
I played this extensively on PS3, and I have to say, this is one of the most polished fighting games ever made. The controls are tight, the combo system is streamlined and the character's don't feel as heavy-weighted and slow as NetherRealm's previous fighting game (Mortal Kombat Komplete.) The one thing you may notice is Batman and character's from Batman's lore are the most prominent and overpowered characters. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but those who want to dominate online with characters like Green Arrow will find out that fighting against a skilled Batman, Deathstroke or Nightwing character can be extremely frustrating. All in all this is a great game and the fact it's coming to PC is exciting. Will definitely buy this from GMG.

Fisher Flour will sell over one million scones during this year's edition of the Puyallup Fair , but there's more to eat at the fair
Fisher Flour will sell over one million scones during this year's edition of the Puyallup Fair, but there's more to eat at the fair than pastry. This week, Voracious spotlights four new-to-the-fair foods worth checking out should the scone lines grow unbearably long.
Unless eaters are confining themselves to foods served on sticks, dietary restrictions are notoriously difficult to accommodate at the fair. But Curry Cousin, one of two new vendors at this year's Puyallup Fair, has concocted a terrific not-fried option for vegetarians.
Curry Cousin takes a catholic approach to curry: According to press materials, its dishes are meant to represent Jamaica, Africa, Nepal, Malaysia, and Singapore. There are fish curries, chicken curries, and a trio of vegetable curries from which to choose: The curries are heaped on white basmati rice and served with mild, medium, or hot chutney.
The vegetable plate features a clump of thickly sauced lentils, slightly droopy cauliflower florets, and thinly shaved green beans slapped with a surprisingly invigorating curry. While the lentils and cauliflower skewed salty, the beans had a fresh flavor amplified by a bright chutney made from coriander.
For fairgoers hotfooting to the next ride, Curry Cousin will roll its curries in a wrap. But if you're willing to use a fork and napkin at the fair, go for the bowl treatment. And ask for extra chutney.

Spinn3r 3.0: New Features, New Architecture, New APIs - More Goodness
I'm proud to announce that we have just released Spinn3r 3.0 after more than a year of development.
This has been quite a lot of work based on feedback from our customer base and ships with some really awesome functionality.
Most of this time has been spent on architecture but a good deal has been spent implementing features for our rapidly growing user base.
When you outsource a major component of your infrastructure, like crawling, you tend to lean on it heavily and push it to the very edge.
Spinn3r has benefited significantly from our user base as they have suggested a number of excellent features. This has dramatically increased our reliability, performance, and feature set.
A good deal of work here has been spent on scalability, performance, and optimizations, including serious improvements to our core backend infrastructure.
There's quite a lot that's new in this release so I'll just dive in.
Industry Standardization
We're now powering startups who have raised in excess of $100M in VC funding.
What is interesting is that a large portion of the industry is standardizing around our infrastructure. Why wouldn't they? We've been in production for over three years now and have been in production applications the entire time.
Research Program
Over the last year we have been providing researchers access to Spinn3r and this is really starting to pay off with currently half a dozen papers published using our architecture.
We haven't had a chance to announce this until now so we're pretty excited that this is finally public.
We have researchers at Harvard, Carnegie Melon, Stanford, Caltech, University of Maryland Baltimore County, University of Washington
University of Southern California, Nanyang Technological University, University Of Edinburgh, National Institute of Informatics in Japan, California Institute of Technology, University of Hannover, in Germany, and on and on.
Recently, the University of North Texas used Spinn3r to track the Swine Flu outbreak.
Cornell just recently launched a Memetracker powered by Spinn3r which we're really excited about.
Textmap is also another search engine using Spinn3r. Their paper, Large-Scale Sentiment Analysis for News and Blogs from the 2007 International Conference for Weblogs and Social Networking (ICWSM) does a good job explaining their system.
We also have a number of our customers performing entity extraction and sentiment analysis and I think that this space is going to be really maturing in the next few years.
International Conference for Weblogs and Social Media
We're sponsoring the International Conference for Weblogs and Social Media in San Jose this year.
We provided them with four months of data - nearly 400GB of blog data.
It turned out to be a huge success with more than 100 research groups requesting access. We've also provided them with direct access to Spinn3r and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
We will almost certainly sponsor ICWSM 2010 with a similar corpus. Possibly expanding it with more data including our comment API, permalink content and content extract and would increase the size to around 4TB.
New Admin Console
We now have a new web application to help developers interface with Spinn3r.
The general idea is that while Spinn3r provides a very powerful API, it was sometimes difficult for our new customers to get up and running. Further, once they were up and running, they would report a problem without a way to pinpoint what they were seeing.
Now with our console they can just login, drill down on the specific datapoint they are interested in, and send in a URL documenting their question.
We have statistics on anything you can imagine. We have hosting provider breakdown, language breakdown, posts per hour, comments per hour, links per hour. We even have most of these broken down by blog host.
Here's a screenshot of our language breakdown:
As you can see we're heavily biased by English content as most of our customers are in the US.
We've also instrumented statistics about our customers including their individual API lag (or lack thereof), number of registered sources and their throughput, etc.
Further, we've now implemented web versions of most of our popular APIs to help easily debug Spinn3r.
For example, our customers can give us the URL to an A-list weblog and we can show them the most recent posts within Spinn3r:
There are interfaces for most features of Spinn3r. Of course one can always use the API directly and we have a great command line interface as well.
Comment API
User commentary across blogs can be valuable for search engines and users but right now there are no real standards for indexing comments made within the blogosphere.
The wfw:comments and Atom threading standards exist (and we support them) but these are only supported within a minority of blogging systems.
We've written hand tuned parsers for fetching the remaining comments and we support the majority of content management systems.
The only restriction is that we don't re-index content right now. This is going to change shortly after we ship 3.0 and probably make it into 3.1.
If you'd like beta access please send us an email and we'll provide you with additional documentation.
Hybrid Real Time Indexing
Spinn3r is directly integrated into the vast ping architecture. If we receive a ping from a weblog we immediately launch our crawlers to fetch the update.
The difficulty here is that not everyone sends pings. We have had a hybrid crawler for a about 6-12 months now which allows us to support both pings and sources on different indexing intervals. Currently about 70% of our content is fetched from pinged sources and the other 30% is fetched once every thirty minutes.
We've expanded our archive capacity and now host more than 7 months of content comprising some 21TB (twenty one terabytes) of content.
We have online capacity for up to 66TB of content and can expand to about 300TB by purchasing additional hardware. From this point moving on we plan on keeping all archives for all time.
This is made possible due to the database migration we performed as part of Spinn3r 3.0 as well as our new datacenter migration.
Full Source History
We've extended our API so that it's no longer just a raw crawler API. Now it's a full blown database of the entire blogosphere.
You can give us a weblog, feed, or permalink and we can show you the entire history and you can page through the API going back in time.
Improved Performance
We completely rewrote our API result handling in 3.0 and we can now support a much higher throughput than before.
Assuming you're not bottlenecked by bandwidth, you should be able to sustain 10-30x over real time indexing.
This means it only takes on average 1 hour to download 30 hours worth of content (with higher throughput possible assuming you have the necessary bandwidth).
This might sound like overkill but when our customers need access to archive data, or they've been offline for a long period of time, they want to catch up quickly.
We're also working on some API extensions to handle parallel downloading which should, in theory, mean we can index Spinn3r content as fast as we want just by throwing more hardware (and bandwidth) at the problem.
Right now it's not really a problem though as the blogosphere could increase by size in 30x and we would easily be able to handle the load.
Public Statistics
We're also going to be sharing our internal statistics with the public in the goal of sharing as much as possible about Spinn3r. Our monitoring architecture allows us to have thousands and thousands of metrics so we can literally monitor everything possible about the blogosphere.
Cost Savings
Our biggest competitor to date has been build vs buy. We have a few competitors out there but they can't compete with us on feature set or pricing.
We've made a very compelling case in Spinn3r 3.0 for a significant cost savings that can be made by switching from a proprietary (or Open Source) crawler and using Spinn3r.
If you're using Spinn3r you can save upwards of $45k per month in hosting costs. With the current economic situation it's starting to become very compelling to switch.
A number of people (including our customers) have asked me about Tailrank and what we're doing with the product.
We're shutting down the consumer facing website because the architecture was difficult (and expensive) to maintain alongside Spinn3r 3.0. We're going to be selling off the assets and integrating the technology into a future version of Spinn3r.
If you're interested in purchasing the assets to Tailrank feel free to send me a private email or just contact us directly.
At this point Tailrank is not a market in which we want to focus. The space is too fragmented, has too much competition, and very little room for innovation.
The clustering and ranking technology present in Tailrank 3.0 (which never shipped) will be refactored and integrated in the Spinn3r 3.1 or 3.2 timeframe (2-6 months).
If you'd like an alternative I'd recommend Reddit, Digg, Techmeme, Newsvine, Google News, or Wikio. They're all good products with a significant amount of attention and traction.
At some point we might integrate memetracking directly into the Spinn3r corpus but at the moment our customers have a number of pending requests that we plan on servicing first.
What's next?
As usual, we're always focused on customers and constantly improving the product. We're also working on a few things in parallel which use much larger data sets.
We're going to be pushing a few new architecture changes in the next sixty days which will allow us to perform additional computations and extract more metadata. The mainline thinking in information retrieval today is that while algorithms are smart, data is smarter.
We've taken that approach throughout our design. Of course one of the main problems is the sheer size of the infrastructure required to push this much data. With Spinn3r 3.0 where nearly there and will have some interesting product features in the next quarter.

Bollywood beauty Rani Mukherjee, who rarely makes appearances at fashion events in the capital, is making an exception for good friend and designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's opening show at the Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week 2014 Tuesday. However, she won't be seen as a showstopper,
A well-placed source told IANS that Rani will attend Sabyasachi's show, and that she will take the front row seat at the event.
Rani is among the top celebrity clients of the ace designer, who is even said to have created a special lehenga for the actress's wedding ceremony. In April, she married film producer Aditya Chopra in Italy.
On the big screen, Rani, who was last seen in "Talaash: The Answer Lies Within", will next feature in "Mardaani" in which she plays a strong, bold and fearless police officer.
The Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week 2014 will be held for six days at hotel Taj Palace. Designers like Manish Malhotra, Manish Arora, Anju Modi and Varun Bahl are scheduled to showcase their high-end couture lines.

As rumors swirl about Gwen Stefani's involvement with the seventh season of "The Voice," there may be another major judging change in the mix.
During his interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday (April 24), Adam Levine hinted that he may not come back to the NBC singing competition.
Adding another title to his already impressive resume, Adam Levine announced the exciting launch of his new womenswear line on Wednesday (April 9).
While enjoying the success of his Kmart menswear collection, the Maroon 5 frontman decided to unleash clothing for the ladies.
They're always up for a good time, and last night (April 3) stars of "The Voice" gathered at The Sayers Club in Hollywood.
He's best known as People's Sexiest Man Alive and the lead singer of Maroon 5 and now Adam Levine is trying his hand at the acting game.
The "Harder to Breathe" hunk stars in the forthcoming flick "Begin Again," and there's a brand new teaser trailer just in time for the weekend.
It's no secret that President Barack Obama is having a hard time selling the Affordable Care Act policies to twentysomethings, and now he's brought in a slew of famous moms to give it a shot.
In a new Public Service Announcement, the women responsible for Adam Levine and Jonah Hill discuss the problem with being young and feeling invincible.
They have a bromance that no one can compete with, but apparently not everything is always fun between Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
During his interview on "Chelsea Lately" Wednesday (March 12), "The Voice" judge jokingly shared a little too much info about his "relationship" with the country crooner.
She has a well-established appetite for male affection, and Lindsay Lohan'ss list of bedfellows appears to be long and distinguished.
Per a report from In Touch magazine, the "Mean Girls" star kept a roster of the guys she's boffed, and back in January she shared the record with some gal pals.
Her career never seems to cool off, and Taylor Swift's "Red" hot tunes have landed her at the top of Billboard's 2014 Money Makers list.
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer raked in $39,699,575.60 over the past twelve months, more than any other recording artist in the game.

'Rush Hour 3' races to top of weekend box office
Monday, August 13, 2007
LOS ANGELES -- People rushed to theaters to see the buddy cop comedy "Rush Hour 3," making the last of this summer's big budget Hollywood films the top movie at the weekend box office.
The film from New Line Cinema took in $50.2 million according to studio estimates, enough to push last week's top film, "The Bourne Ultimatum," into second place with $33.7 million.
"Rush Hour 3" did not do as well as its predecessor, "Rush Hour 2," which took in $67.4 million when it was released in 2001. But it was the sixth "threequel" of the summer to open as a weekend's top film and it ranks as the fourth best August opening on record.
"We really never felt we were going to get where the second one was," said David Tuckerman, head of distribution for New Line. "The competitive landscape has changed dramatically in the six years since the last film. We figured we'd be in the 50's and that's where we are."
"The Bourne Ultimatum" crossed the $100 million mark in its second week in theaters. And with "The Simpsons Movie" coming in third with $11.1 million, for a three-week total of $152 million, Hollywood might be looking at its first $4 billion summer.
"We've been riding a wave of momentum that started with 'Transformers' in July," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "We already stand at $3.6 billion at the box office. The $4 billion summer, once thought an impossibility, is definitely within reach."
The summer movie season runs from the first weekend in May through Labor Day.
No other blockbuster films are scheduled this summer. But next week's opening film, "Superbad," is from the same team that made this year's hit comedy "Knocked Up" and could do well, Dergarabedian said.
This weekend's top 12 movies grossed 37 percent higher than the top dozen on the same weekend last year. So far this year, box office revenues are up 6.6 percent to $6.324 billion and attendance is up 1.9 percent.
The other film opening this weekend, Paramount's "Stardust," a well-reviewed adult fairy tale starring Michelle Pfeiffer, didn't fare as well. It took in $9 million, good enough for fourth place behind "The Simpsons Movie," but not as much as might be expected for a film with a cast that included Robert DeNiro, Peter O'Toole and Claire Danes.
The movie's theme made it difficult to market in a 30-second TV spot, said Rob Moore, Paramount's head of worldwide marketing and distribution.
"When you make an original movie, it's always very challenging to be able to communicate to your audience what the genre is," Moore said. "These movies tend to be driven by word of mouth and home entertainment."
Moore said it is expected to do better in international markets. The movie, which cost about $70 million to make, will be rolled out in Europe and other markets in October.

I want to be able to play works of interactive fiction on an Amazon Kindle 2. In order to do this, I would need to port the Frotz interpreter to the Kindle. So far, I have not been able to find anywhere that Kindle application development is discussed. Does such a thing exist? Where can I find more information?
I want to port the Frotz z-machine interpreter to the Amazon Kindle. Is this even possible? [closed]

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
This blog reversing everything is about kindle hacking. (it's a linux box after all)
You could build it as a web app and use the Kindle browser to play.
There's already a web app. Does the kindle support javascript? If so this might be worth a try: http://parchment.toolness.com/
Yes the KDK allows for apps like this, you just have to write it in Java (1.4) but other than that you are free to do this (and it would be a cool use of the KDK, you should apply to the beta program)
Since the Kindle Development Kit (KDK) is Java-based, perhaps a good starting point is a Java-based Z-machine interpreter like http://zmpp.sourceforge.net/
There is an open source project going on here: http://adq.livejournal.com/109224.html But it is outside the KDK since the KDK is not widely available.
Aswell as parchment, there is also http://www.web-adventures.org
This is a very minimal HTML only site that should render well on any device including the Kindle.
Looks like Jimmy Maher of Antiquarian Productions has completed a port of the Z-Machine to the Kindle and in fact has a book for sale: http://maher.filfre.net/King/
Unfortunately (well, partly unfortunately), it looks like his is a commercial venture and he won't be releasing source code for his port for others to play along even on a jailbroken Kindle.

iOS and Android App Marketing Strategy
Android and iOS
In today's world of versatile innovation and progression, applications help everything go around in their place. From a health review application to a music application, everything and everybody is associated with something. There is an application for about everything these days and its turning into an essential and fundamental piece of our lives.
More application developers are creating applications that are changing the way we view everything. The business sector is determined on the thought of the most imaginative and recognized applications to be released, so now the competition is building on to create and promote the most noteworthy working and evaluated app. Anyhow that is not all, once the idea comes to fruition into an application the hardest part is the application promotion. The most creative and unique ideas set the standard outlook to take a head start in in the long line of development and the best way to do that is to promote your app.
You are most likely mindful that, since Apple transformed its application store ranking algorithm, high rating have never been more basic. Applications with ratings of 4 or more stars saw a support in application store ranking, while poor ratings applications – 3 star average or below – dropped off sharply and normal applications with a 3.5 star rating dropped somewhat.
Application promotion and application marketing is a genuinely new device embraced by application developers to broadcast the markets for their app. In a very competitive reign of application development this is challenging and considerable. At the same time what truly promotes an application?
The principal thing a user looks into when considering an application is what number of reviews it has and how high its rating are, the more the reviews and the higher the ratings, the more the application emerges, this prompts more request and promotes scope in an application market. Application reviews are what truly rethinks the image of an app in a market, so any developer who is looking to increase more exposure needs to concentrate all the more on the devices he deploys for the promotion and marketing of his app.

Now On J-Source: Jill Winzoski's Firing; Leveson On Ethics Education; How APTN Got Bruce Carson Scoop
TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2012 /CNW/ - FEATURESEthics The intersection of politics, local news and the idea of journalists acting as citizens: Jill Winzoski's firing The story of Jill Winzoski's firing is a she-said, they-won't-say kind of story. So where does the blame lie? Alex Posadzki gets the former Selkirk Record reporter's side of the story and the opinion of a few ethics experts on the dos and don'ts of journalists expressing themselves as citizens and the role of publications in standing up for their reporters. Link to article Covering Violence and Trauma Drama in Leveson report, but where's the trauma? Britain's newspaper publishers and editors are scrambling to come up with a new framework for self-regulation, working against the clock to avoid a legislation-assisted solution in the wake of last week's devastating Leveson report. But as Cliff Lonsdale reports, something is missing from the debate. Link to article Ideas How they got the story: Kenneth Jackson on APTN's Bruce Carson affair scoop 'Escort, pimp, senior policy advisor to Harper, native affairs and government contracts.' Those were the words of a source that piqued Kenneth Jackson 's interest and began an investigation that would lead Jackson and APTN's Jorge Barrera to uncover the Bruce Carson affair. Jackson explains how they got the story. Link to article Freedom of Expression CJFE honours courageous reporting and commitment to free expression Tonight, Canadian Journalists for Free Expression will honour Mae Azango of Liberia; Rami Jarrah of Syria; Dan Henry , Canadian media lawyer; and Enquête , Radio-Canada's investigative television program with awards for their courageous reporting and commitment to freedom of expression, often in the face of threats. Link to article THE BIG ISSUE High-profile cases prompt further discussion of how to best report on suicide In response to the coverage of Amanda Todd's suicide and the more recent alleged suicide pact, the Vancouver School Board is calling for media organizations to adhere to guidelines when they report on suicides as set out by the Canadian Psychiatric Association. The CPA says that certain types of suicide coverage can encourage copycats, as Steve Ladurantaye reported last year, though not everyone agrees. André Picard told Liam Casey in his 2010 award-winning RRJ feature that there are problems inherent in the CPA guidelines, and after the Ottawa Suicide Prevention Coalition issued its own guide to reporting on suicide earlier this year, Mel Coulson said being told how to 'spin' the message doesn't sit right with her. In a 2011 column, Stephen Ward said that " covering tragedies is not an act of exploitation. " In a subsequent column, said that while journalists can adopt some guidelines, they should not follow them without question, as journalists play a different social role from that of health professionals. A segment on this morning's episode of CBC's The Current looked at how journalists can cover suicide and what impact guidelines will have in an environment where so much discussion takes place on social media.

Specified GDL provider
I was somewhat concerned to read this article.
It is the issue of a specified GDL provider which troubled me. Although the rationale behind the tailored LPC is clear and reasonable, it seems unnecessarily prescriptive that a firm should specify where its future trainees should do the GDL. Many people, for personal reasons, want to do their GDL outside London — they might simply prefer to stay on in their university town, for example, or have other, more pressing, reasons to be elsewhere in the country for the year. Still more, after years of mounting student debt, will want to save money by living with their parents for the year and commute to the local law school.
Also, there are various reasons why it doesn't make any sense: many non-law applicants don't get their training contract offers until a matter of weeks before they start the GDL (or even up to a couple of weeks after starting), by which time they may well have accepted a place (and arranged accommodation) somewhere other than the specified law school. What would they do in that instance? Presumably they'd have to let the person go elsewhere. Added to that are the many students who only apply while already on the GDL — presumably their applications wouldn't be refused just because they were at the wrong law school. This would effectively make a bit of a mockery of the idea that some benefit might be gained from having all future trainees at a certain law school. As for the reasoning behind it, it can't really be in order to have their future trainees close at hand, as analogous final-year law students will be at universities all over the country. And I can't really imagine the GDL could be 'tailored' for a firm in any meaningful way.
Essentially, I feel this is worthy of examination/criticism in the next issue of Lawyer2B as it is an issue which should be of genuine concern to many potential trainees.

Jane Pauley Biography
Home > Actresses > P > Pauley, Jane > Biography
Birth Name: Jane Pauley
Born: 10/31/1950
Birth Place: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
Born: 10/31/1950
Birth Place: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
In 1989, NBC's News executive Dick Ebersol, sensing a need for a change, replaced Pauley with Deborah Norville in what turned out to be a public relations, let alone ratings, disaster. But Pauley walked away from "Today" nonplused, seemingly pleased to no longer have to live by the early morning show's schedule, to have more time for her children and husband, "Doonesbury" cartoonist Garry Trudeau. She stuck with NBC News and the network immediately gave her a special "Changes: Conversations with Jane Pauley" (1990), in which she interviewed celebrities. Later that year, she did five "Real Life With Jane Pauley" programs as a prototype for primetime newsmagazine. While "Real Life" aired weekly during the 1991-92 season, it did not click with the audience. Pauley was then teamed with Stone Phillips on the revamped "Dateline: NBC" (1992- ). Although it was slow to build, by the outset of the 1995-96 season, "Dateline" was seen on the primetime schedule twice weekly and many nights its ratings were higher than that of ABC's older "20/20", ironically co-hosted by Walters. So buoyed was the network that early in 1996, it scheduled yet another "Dateline" night--Sundays--against CBS' formidable "60 Minutes". Pauley has also served as a substitute anchor for Tom Brokaw on the "NBC Nightly News". With the launch of a new cable news channel, MSNBC, in 1996, Pauley was also tapped to host "Time and Again", a nightly look at history as viewed by NBC News.

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Turkeys long peninsula coast lines both the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea.
The answer to the question "where do the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea meet" is Marmaris. It is not just the sea and the nature that attract people to Marmaris from all over the world, nor even the rich history reaching from past civilizations to today. There must be something more. Historian and expert Fernand Braudel in his book named "Mediterranean" says: "What is this Mediterranean? All of a thousand things. Not one landscape, countless landscapes. Not one sea, many seas following each other. Not one civilization, many civilizations piled on each other."
Marmaris is a place sheltering many of these landscapes, seas and civilizations. The old trade ships are replaced by yachts with colourful sails decorating the modern marinas and by comfortable passenger ships. Airport traffic is heavy. Tens of thousands of people from numerous countries, different nations come for their vacations.
The Marmaris / Gokbel area
The most important building in the centre of Marmaris is the castle. The castle was first constructed by Ionians. The preserved form today was built by Ottomans in 1522. During the First World War, it was damaged by cannonball fire opened from a French war ship. A museum in the castle was restored between 1980 and1990.
Another Ottoman building in the city is Hafza Sultan Caravanserai built in 1545. Seven small rooms and one big room of the Caravanserai are allocated to gift shops. The historical shops in the market place which used to sell second hand goods are still in the shopping centre of the city.
Marmaris is a large tourism resort with a selection of accommodation starting from small, quaint pensions to big holiday villages and 5-star hotels. Restaurants offer all kinds of cuisine from Chinese, French, Indian and Italian to traditional Turkish cuisine, with many using the blended delicacy of natural herbs grown in the fast changing climate from the Mediterranean shores to the mountains.
The local environment is suitable for any kind of leisure activity, from walks through quiet, secluded forests while the close proximity to the sea means that you can swim, scuba dive, jet-ski, fish, paraglide, yacht and mess about on the water to your heart's content, while for the more energetic we can arrange mountain bike hire; tell us what you want to do and we'll arrange it. The warm sunny climate guarantees sun nearly all the year round and in the summer months any depth of sun tan you require is assured!

"Beats Cologne!" Düsseldorf by Sjalen
Düsseldorf Travel Guide: 980 reviews and 2,288 photos
Düsseldorf to me was always the place known for "the longest bar in the world" with all the pubs in its Old Town, and for being somewhere Cologne people don't go. Now I know why, as Cologne pales in comparison (but don't tell my cousin that!). I don't know if it was because Sabsi and Thomas showed us around their hometown or perhaps because the Rhine is more exciting up here and Alt is nicer than Kölsch. Whatever the reason, I just felt much more at ease here and since I only visited for half a day, this page shows only a fraction of what there is to see and do here and as for me, I just have to come back soon and see the city in better weather. Meanwhile, I know whose side I'm on in the constant "battle of the Rhine giants".
- Pros:great nightlife, the relaxed atmosphere of a capital (North Rhine Westphalia's that is).
- Cons:lots of concrete here too
- In a nutshell:A European city
Reviews (12)
Düsseldorf is known as the "fashion capital of Germany" so there is a lot of potential to spend money here! Sure, Berlin... more travel advice
I have never come across this name before with churches, but then it only got this name in 1916, in honour of the song... more travel advice
Walking along the Rhine must be one of my favourite things in the city, and so much more rewarding than in touristy... more travel advice
In the park next to the aquarium you will find lots of sculptures from the 1930s when all things strong and handsome... more travel advice

Over at the Daily Weekly, Curtis Cartier relays a tragically awesome top-10 list: the city's top 10 bars where people get sauced before getting DUIs. The liquor board concedes that their tally is based on the admissions of the lushes who get pulled over, and we all know lushes like to lie (or, conversely, get way too truthful), so take this with enough grains of salt to rim a margarita glass. Also consider that many of these are awesome bars (Seattle resident Peter O'Toole is especially fond of Peso's, for the trim), and the fault ultimately lies with the person who decides to turn the ignition after his 11th greyhound. Oh, and the asterisk in the headline refers to the fact that Safeco Field, and not Earl's on the Ave, actually tops the liquor board's list. Now, Safeco Field has bars, but it's not exclusively a bar, as most bars don't feature live baseball and have a capacity of 43,000 people. On to the list . . .
9. Amber (Belltown)
8. Last Supper Club (Pioneer Square)
7. See Sound Lounge (Belltown)
6. Qwest Field (SoDo)
5. Showbox SoDo
4. Venom (Belltown)
3. Trinity (Pioneer Square)
2. Earl's on the Ave (U District)

yes, but technically if you take the fenders, disc brakes, lights, etc... off then it is a cross bike, I mean if I take a road bike and put a set of time trial bars on it does that mean that it's no longer a road bike but is now a TT bike? lol

Just finished with this thing today. Still tweaking the set up. Disregard the huge stack of spacers and I just noticed the chain came off. Can't wait to really put it through its paces tomorrow after work.
Here is my 2002-03 fondriest Crossroad. Pardon the mismatch in handlebar tape colors, I am currently testing new tapes and put these on!
That SUV makes you look fat.
Did a few upgrades. The headset is changed, and due to that the brakechatter is all gone.

A custom True North Boss Cross.
read more about it at http://doeverythingbike.blogspot.com/
My long announced new bike is ready and it turned out to be...two bikes.
Both with a Kinesis frame (one gloss painted, the other anodized) and Empella full carbon fork, Campa Chorus, Spooky carbon cantis, Chris King headset, Thomson Elite seatpost and X2 stem, 3ttt Less XL handlebar, Flite saddle, Time atac XS carbon pedals, Record hubs, Sapim spokes and Schwalbe Fast Fred tires. One has an FSA carbon monoblade crankset and Corima aero carbon rims, the other an alu Chorus crankset, Chorus front derailleur and Mavic open pro rims.
I took one of the bikes to France during the holidays and took some pics. I will take pics of the other bike asap...
Very nice Timo. Very nice indeed.
Im posting my new ride next week I guess.
Still not a 100% sure how Im goanna configure the different
bikes, but I think Im making the Specialized a little more hard core
and the new one more into a Marathon / Cross / Touring hybrid kind of thing.
Key words are Airborne Carpe Diem, Chris King, AlphaQ CX, DuraAce and Thomson

Lectron, I see you use a Thomson stem just like me. It looks like an X2 but the rise looks drifferent from the available 10 degrees. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Bought an X2 -10° for the new Airborne. What you see on the Specialized is an X4 120mm 0°. So no Timo. No tricks involved.Originally Posted by Timo
Phewwww. My eyes are okay then
I can't imagine that the Easton bike would still be for sale - posted on 7/11/05, is it?
So here's my new ride. This bike's gonna serve as a Touring/Marathon bike as well,
and I'm waiting for a German stainless steel light weighted rack (Tubus Luna) to carry my Ortlieb bags.
The Specialized CX is waiting for a new 42T chainring/guard and a Shimano R600 brake lever.
They are both being equipped with an IRD 11 - 28 Cassette.
I'll post some more and better pics when they're both ready. Still waiting for some small parts
