New Minecraft PS3 Edition patch 1.06 available now, here's what's fixedWritten by: / / 3 Comments
Last week saw the release of the latest title update for Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition, bringing with it a host of fixes, but developer 4J Studios has recently sent out the latest set of fixes with a Minecraft PS3 Edition patch for PlayStation 3 players to bring the game up to date, too.
The list of fixes is relatively similar to the Xbox 360 Edition, save for a few extras like addressing voice chat. See if you can spot the differences with the full Minecraft PS3 Edition patch notes below:

That is helpful! Who doesn't love mezzo American native cultures, or for that matter all native cultures. Have some REP.
I'm from México and I really like the aztec civilization. This is a little guide on how aztecs used to name places. I'm not an expert in nahua, but this is something of what I know. By no means this is a complete guide and the rules can differ in some cases. Examples are the original word of real places, it could be different from today names.
Toponymies are formed by a noun and a prefix or suffix:
Select a noun, remove the tl, tli or -lli, add a suffix.
If monosyllabic, the accent of the word is always in the last syllable. Except co, wich is in the penultimate syllable.
In polysyllabics, the accent of the word is in the penultimate syllable. Except apan, wich is in the last syllable.
can/ca - place (Coyohuacan, place of those who workship the coyote)
tlan - land/city (Aztlan, city of cranes)
pan in, at (Acapan, at the reeds)
co in, where (Mexico, where Mexictli is [workshiped])
calco - house (Xochicalco, house of flowers)
puzalco height, hill (Azcapuzalco, anthill)
ixco - infront (Cuautlixco, infront the eagles)
nepantla in the middle (Tlalnepantla, in the middle of the earth)
apan river (Papaloapan, river of butterflies)
tepetl/tepec - mountain (Chapultepec, mountain of crickets)
Select a prefix and add a noun, the accent remains in the strong syllable of the noun.
If the noun ends in lli, remove the two last letters.
ixtla plain (Ixtlazihuatl, plain with the shape of woman)
example NOUNS (Accents are in caps)
Atl water
Acatl reed
CIhuatl woman
chalchiHUItl - emerald
chiMAlli - shield
COAtl - snake
COyotl coyote
cuAUtl eagle
cuaHUItl wood, tree
eHEcatl wind
huiTZIlli - hummingbird
miQUIztli death
MIztli small procionidae
Ometl dawn
oCElotl jaguar
oCOtl pine-tree
queTZAlli feather, also used as limpid, bright
TEotl god (plural, teTEo)
TEtl stone
TLANtli fang
TOCHtli rabbit
XOchitl flower
yoAlli - night
YOlotl - heart
To denote ownership, workship or being holder:
hua (Teteohuacan, place of those with the gods)
Place this before the suffix or after the prefix.
pul (Acapulco, where big reeds grow)
Place this after the noun, if its the last syllable, use pulli instead.
To name the inhabitants from one place:
If the word ends in -tlan, remove the suffix and add TEcatl (plural, TEca). Ex. Azteca, from aztlán, Guatemalteca, from Guatemallan.
If the word ends in -can or pan, remove the last n and add NEcatl (plural, NEca). Ex. Tlalpaneca, from Tlalpan.
Hope all this it's understandable.

Thanks! nice to see you like it, in my next chance, I'll put how to name characters.
Thank you for sharing this with us and for providing an addition resource for languages and how places are named.
Neat! Nahua is a really cool language, and this is really helpful.

I don't hear you writing those things about the people in your own country, Mac.
I don't see you writing it's time for Oz to die? What would suit you, everyone on the planet, dead?
Nothing good about being such a total pesimist, Mac, and it doesn't make you appear to be more intelligent. Anyone can curse the darkness, rather than light a candle, that's easy.
Is THAT what you think strong people do?
People are the pits. Superstitious ignorant selfish iz a tautology, koz it all boils down to selfishness. Pinkarsed apes iz a libel gainst apes, natures nices creatures -- locusts iz probly better. So selfish 100kg locusts iz more like it.
Ozz iz like theusofa. I hav fondness for the natives, ie aborigines, ie injuns etc. Its the conquerors that I don't like.
Natives, ie aborigines, ie injuns etc. were just as cutthroat as the rest.
There are wonderful people who live on this earth, Mac. I've known manny of them, in fact, I am married to one of them, and my daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter, mother and father were all wonderful people.
It's really a shame that you seem totally unaware of how many truly good people there are in the world.
Your loss.
Gayle -- yes there are wonderfull people. Sadly I am somewhere in between, I don't meet my own standards.
But I would prefer a lesser number of wonderfull people. What I mean iz that overpopulation iz overpopulation, allbeit not so bad if wonderfull people do their best to limit their effekt on the planet, ie on the future.
If only those who are not really sold on the idea of having children would get surgery to prevent pregnancy, both men and women, that would do a lot to reduce over population.
If only the USA would set up hospitals performig those sugeries for free, all around the world where vast populations are starving, that would help tremendously, as well.
But if anny country tried to do that every nutjob religious idiot in the world would be outraged.
As I said, organized religion doesn't allow for critical thinking skills.
And corporations don't care about poisoning people, starving people, promoting slavery, and destroying the planet in general.
If Corporations want to be "a person" then we should be able to jail the entire top level of any corporation, and the Chairman of The Board, and the Borard of directors, as well, when we catch them doing the inhumane deeds that they do.
All of the Bush men, and Cheney and Rice should be in jail, along with Karl Rove, William Kristol, Mitt Romney, and a slew of corporate pigs all of whom lied this country into a war for their own profits.
AND if wishes were horses, we could take a nice long ride.
Gayle -- Yes az I allways say if I were King u would need a permit for a halfbaby, u kood sell your half (abortions would be kompulsory).
Corporations wouldn't be allowed to donate to political partys, koz there wouldn't be any political partys, HAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAAA.
Re taking a nice long ride, madSherie woz thrown off her new horse and haz a cracked pelvis which haz slowed her down for a month now.
Don't know how old you are, Mac, or your wife's age, either.
I just turned 69. I consider this my pornographic birthday, LOL.
I have a lot of friends who think they can do the same things they did when they were young, now. some of them not far from my age. I tell them, oh yeah, you CAN do that, just know that you may never heal when you have a bad accident, and it my change the entire rest of your life, as well.
As for me, I run, and work out, but no riding horseback for me! AND, I never considered riding motorcycles, far too dangerous. My sister is sixty. and she still goes skiing, even though she has a plate in her neck, has had shoulder surgery, knee surgery, and had a bad broken arm several years ago, so I tell her, "If you're going skiing, don't tell me about it. I don't want to know."
My daughter is soon to be fifty-one years old, and she grew up riding and jumping horses, and she was an expert in dressage. She was into riding English style, you know, dressage, and jumping in horse shows, riding in The Hunt, lived for her horseback riding, but now, she is having hip problems, she has already had shoulder surgery, and knee surgery, so I tell her, "If you're going to be riding and jumping horses again, don't tell me about it. I don't want to know!"
As for myself, I am lucky that the things I like to do are not dangerous. Playing piano, is pretty safe. Writing, as well, pretty safe. Gardening, safe enough for me. Spoiling my hubby, is my most favorite past time. Living up to my pornographic birthday, was the most
dangerous thing I had done in a long time, LOb
Hope Sherry heals quickly, and fully.
Thanx Gayle I (66yrs young) will pass that on to sherie (62yrs young). All her horsey girlfriends hav multiple old and new fractures of everything.
Me myself I will stick to billiards. But even here I sleep badly koz I hav a sore shoulder from chainsawing trees every day for 2weeks (mainly fixing my neighbours tree problems), and billiards praktis now hurts (and I hav a tournament this weekend).
Good luck in the tournament.

I just installed Zimbra FOSS edition and I am quite pleased with it so far.
Now, I need to setup the backups and I have a little question...
I looked at the different FOSS backup scripts and, as far as I could see, they all do a full 'zmcontrol stop' or '/etc/init.d/zimbra stop'...
Wouldn't there be a way to safely backup /opt/zimbra with all services stopped, except the mta, so no mails are refused while the backup is running...?
Anybody tried that yet?

Supreme Court: Religious businesses may reject providing birth control
by Michael Gryboski
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—In a landmark religious freedom case the U.S.
Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Woods Specialties,
in a 5-4 decision, stating that corporations can refuse to provide certain drugs that
may abort a fetus on the basis of religious objection.
The highest court in the land ruled that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act applies
to privately owned businesses like Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Woods Specialties.
The decision was narrowed to only the contraceptive mandate and is not necessarily
applicable to all insurance mandates, like blood transfusions or vaccinations.

Looks good, I like the pale colors. Might want to do the rivers in the same color as the darkest color in the ocean rather than that true blue...or maybe something in-between, not sure, I'd have to see. What's the deal on that orange thing? Is it supposed to be creeping out into the ocean? Anyways, like I said, lookin good.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Actually I do have an objection about the rivers, or at least a suggestion: I think the distribution is too equalized. Except for that one area in the Northeast, you've used pretty much the same number and type of river on both sides of the mountains; however, this is not very naturalistic. At the very least, without getting into too great detail about how weather works, I'd pick one side as the one where prevailing winds come from and make rivers more frequent there than on the other side. (Since the number you have is generally good, I'd suggest removing a few rivers rather than adding them.)
That said, I agree that the style of the map is very nice, it will be very easy to read/use when done.
Thank's for comments.
@ Ascension :
- I changed the color rivers to fit them with ocean.
- The orange spot in the SW is called "l'ïle aux Infurnaux"
Once a isle populated by dwarves, these volcanic place was used by the blacksmiths of the city to create device of power.
But (as in another story) dwarves "dig to deep" and they connected to the elemental plane of fire...
By now huge fire elems and all that kind of menageries wander the place, while deep in the volcano mouth, in the ruins of the dwarven city flowed by lava rivers, tribes of fire giants serve a court of Noble Salamanders.
I confess, Ascension... As dwarven priest, I still have problems to control all the wandering elems... and still looking a way to give to the sea a look wich translate the flow of lavae rivers in the water...
@ Bartmoss
- You're totally right : the rivers aren't well distribued... The reason is quite simple
Actually, I made two "rivers layer". The first contains all the major rivers (fleuves), while the other shows the affluents and the hydrographic bassin. You guess that if the first layer il completed
The small rivers was actually on the good way "tobidone" but at a moment, my Valentine arrived on the scene...
And, as I confess to Ascension : I still also have problem to controle that "kind of hot" ... So I have to lay all that rivers unfinished ("many rivers to cross" - has he said)...
To finish the post, I'd like your advice on the look of the moutains range : it's a combination of blured layers wich become lighter with altitude and toped with a textured, very transparent layer.
For the highest range; I used small stepped bevel and blured fractal polygone topped with the same textured layer.
What do you think about the renders ?
See you soon
Well, this is an update of the map :
Each area has a color and a texture (helping to give a climax). Still all the small islands, I'm too tired to do it well by now (0.30)
What do you think about ?
Nice start. I think the outer stroke needs to be lighter or opacity lowered.
And, oH bos, what a difference in the way to draw...
how many fine the lines are and how easy it's to draw it...
So, here's an update
This is the latest map of Brannaegh.
There's a scale and the names of the area are placed.
As mentionned before, each area recieved a colour to give a glance of the climax and to show their borders.
I choose not to show the small rivers (only the biggest are mentionned) to reduce the size of the file. On the original map (a bitmap "that size Huge"), many other details are placed...
To conclued, I would like to say once more that a pen table is much more funny and easy to use than a mouse, even with a CAD software...
Enjoy C&C welcome
Since I get the pen table, things are viewed a different way...
So, I redo some map from the start and decide to show the level lines...
Following is a zoom of a zone 1600 km wide and 1200 km height
What do you think about ?

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A military base here in the Northwest Florida is remembering four airmen killed with their reconnaissance plane crashed in Africa last year.
The four airmen were members of the Air Force 1st Special Operations Wing. They were based at Hurlburt Field just west of Ft. Walton Beach.
Monday marks the first anniversary of the crash near the only U.S. base in Africa. Military officials say the crew had been returning from a mission in support of the Afghanistan war.
Friends and family of Capt. Nicholas Whitlock, Capt. Ryan Hall, 1st Lt. Justin Wilkens and Senior Airman Julian Scholten say they will hold a private memorial service Monday at Hurlburt. They will have a moment of silence at 10:19 a.m., the time the plane crashed.

Summary:A chronicle of the spectacular fall of infamous porn star John C. "Johnny Wadd" Holmes. Based on a true story, the biopic explores the multiple murders that took place high atop Wonderland Avenue in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon, in the summer of 1981. At first the victims were thought to be mere drug dealers and party hounds, but the case became elevated to a classic L.A. noir when they were discovered to be connected to the infamous porn star. By the time the story begins, Holmes had already fallen from perhaps the biggest and most famous star in the hardcore industry, to a state of financial and pharmaceutical ruin. Holmes juggles two women: he is devoted to his jailbait teenage girlfriend Dawn, w... Full Summary >>

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Richard Howell and C.J. Leslie would have made
the late Jim Valvano proud on Tuesday, as the frontcourt duo combined for 29
points and 23 rebounds to lead No. 25 North Carolina State to a 69-65 victory
over Connecticut in the finale of the Jimmy V Classic.
With Valvano's immortal "Don't Ever Give Up" sentiment sewn on the backs of
their jerseys, the Wolfpack adhered the former NC State coach's credo.
Howell, who missed part of the first half after taking an inadvertent elbow to
the head, finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Leslie added 16 and
13 in the triumph.
Lorenzo Brown checked in with 16 points as well, while Scott Wood netted 13
for the Wolfpack (5-2), who had lost two of three coming in to nearly fall out
of the top 25.
Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright netted 19 and 18 points, respectively, as
UConn (6-2) had its two-game winning streak snapped.

Amazed, horrified, shocked. Those are some of the words I've used to describe what I've felt as I watched the huge plumes of thick smoke rise hundreds of feet in the air, while dancing flames leapt from tree to tree up steep mountain slopes.
Even more, I've seen blackened earth all around someone's nice, mountain home, which stands unharmed.
These scenes again played out before me when I turn on TV and see the latest shots of the High Park fire west of Fort Collins, the state's most destructive to homes in history. It's personal to me, because my uncle and his wife built their mountain dream home in the hills that are now on fire.
So far, they've managed to avoid evacuations that sent their neighbors racing down the road. Who knows how long their luck will last.
That could be said for any of us this summer. We haven't had a major wildfire in this neck of the woods so far, but who knows if that will continue.
Like many people around here, I keep thinking of the summer of 2002 as the last time we saw fire danger this high or watched as flames burned through the Colorado mountains, including around part of Glenwood Springs. It was dry, hot and windy when the Coal Seam fire started.
That's what I recalled again the other day, when the White River National Forest and Bureau of Land Management said they were going to impose Stage 2 fire restrictions as of tomorrow, Friday.
That means no fires or campfires. Enclosed camp stoves are still permitted, but should be used with extreme care.
No smoking outdoors. Smoking allowed only inside a car or building.
No possession or use of fireworks of any kind, which were earlier banned by Gov. John Hickenlooper across the state.
But what really perked up my attention was this quote in the Post Independent, by White River Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams:
"'We will be at Stage 2 for the foreseeable future. But if we don't see a change in the weather conditions, we may be looking at Stage 3 restrictions,' Fitzwilliams said. Under Stage 3, public lands would be closed to everyone except firefighters and leaseholders."
That's something I never even considered in the summer of 2002, let alone hear coming from a federal land manager with access to the numbers that prove how dry and dangerous it is to light a match. Not being allowed on public lands because it's too dangerous.
Awe is another word you can use to describe the power of Mother Nature. Over 1,800 firefighters, huge aircraft that drop fire retardant and helicopters dropping water can only make very slow progress due to the weather, along with all the tens of thousands of acres of beetle-killed, tinder dry trees. The White River Forest has plenty of those, too.
We all need to start a habit of ensuring we don't do anything that might start a wildfire. My main reason to keep focused on prevention is keyed to three words: Storm King Mountain.
No one around here will ever forget that 1994 tragedy that took the lives of 14 federal firefighters outside Glenwood Springs, doing just what those thousands of brave men and women are doing now on the other side of the Continental Divide.
So there's one more thing we should all do this summer: Send our prayers, well wishes and appreciation to those folks, as well as the people forced out of their homes. May God bless them, and us.

Honolulu, HI (Sports Network) - Vander Joaquim tallied 16 points and nine
rebounds to lead the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors to a 60-52 victory over the
Pacific Tigers in a Big West Conference showdown at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Ozren Pavlovic scored 13 points and Hauns Brereton chipped in 11 points for
Hawaii (10-7, 4-2 Big West), which had lost its previous two matchups. Isaac
Fotu only scored four points but he ripped down 11 rebounds.
For Pacific (9-8, 3-2), Sama Taku had 15 points, Tony Gill netted 12 points,
and Khalil Kelley grabbed 10 rebounds. The loss for the Tigers snapped a
season-long three-game winning streak.
Hawaii outshot Pacific from the field in the first half, 44.4 percent to 36.1
percent, but it only took a 30-29 lead into intermission. The Warriors lost
several possessions by committing 11 turnovers in the first 20 minutes.
The score went back-and-forth in the second half until Joaquim hit a jumper
with 6:37 to play to give Hawaii a 47-45 lead. The Warriors would never again
surrendered their advantage, and they sealed their fate in the final minute by
draining 6-of-6 at the foul line.
Pacific finished the game just 21-of-68 from the field (.309), including a
lowly 3-of-27 from 3-point range (.111).

* Fall Fun: Art Lesson with Warm and Cool Colors Leaf Study
This fall art lesson was always a big hit with my students when I was an elementary art teacher.
It was a nice way to talk about the different shapes of leaves,
warm colors (red, orange, yellow, gold, tan) and
cool colors (green, blue, violet, silver, gray),
as well as explore complimentary color combinations.
We would start with a fall leaf gathering walk.
Then, we'd work on a piece of black construction paper folded into fourths or quarters.
Sketch one leaf in white chalk in each square (rectangle).
Then, using oil pastels color two leaves with cool colors
and the other two leaves with warm colors.
This is a good project to practice blending and mixing colors.
Color the background with the opposite color combination,
so if you have a warm-colored leaf you would color a cool-colored background
and for a cool-colored leaf you would color a warm-colored background.
Here's an example of the leaves in progress, notice how it takes
a while to build up the layers.
Close-up of the intersecting backgrounds.
Happy Fall Art-Making!

Last week, IBM announced an enhancement to our cloud portfolio that will deliver CloudBurst on POWER7-based hardware, as well as offering it as software that can run on currently installed IBM and non-IBM systems.
With CloudBurst, IBM is tying together the hardware, storage, networking, virtualization, and service management as an all-in-one package for enterprises to build a private cloud. This is significant because it removes the arduous manual processes that in-house IT departments often face when configuring and managing their cloud systems.
In the press release, IBM states that it estimates CloudBurst's automated configuring capabilities "can cut IT staff's labor in integrating systems, provisioning and managing storage up to 95 percent." That seems pretty impressive, when you consider that if I could cut 95% off of my work week, I'd be logged on for a total of two and a half hours.
At the heart of this new offering is the IBM Service Delivery Manager, a stand-alone integrated service management software bundle which automates the deployment, monitoring and management of a cloud solution on IBM or non-IBM hardware.
If you'd like to delve into the details behind these solutions, and understand how to decrease your costs and increase your efficiency with CloudBurst, you can contact your IBM sales rep and/or

PUBLISHED Sun Feb 24 09:01:00 EST 2013 0 1 / 14 Photo of the Year and First Prize: Spot News, Singles The World Press Photo organization's annual contest, now in its 56th year, recognizes the most outstanding journalistic and documentary photography of the previous year. In 2013, a global jury of 19 experts selected winners from more than 100,000 images submitted by 5,666 photographers from 124 countries.For the most coveted prize—Photo of the Year—the jury chose this image by Swedish photojournalist Paul Hansen. It shows two Palestinian children being carried to their funeral after an Israeli missile struck their home in Gaza City. The children's father, whose body is on a stretcher in the background, was also killed in the blast; their mother survived but was in intensive care.Hansen had mixed emotions about winning. "I felt very happy, honored, and sad. It is a horrible photograph, on many levels, and I feel for the family," he said. "I hope that the decision makers on all sides look at the photograph, read about this family, and feel ashamed for the political failures that lead to the suffering of all these innocent people."—Linda Poon and Brett Line Photograph courtesy Paul Hansen via WPP First Prize: Nature, Singles National Geographic contributing photographer Christian Ziegler shot this stunning close-up of a southern cassowary feeding on fallen fruit from a nearby blue quandong tree in northern Australia. The tall, flightless bird is an endangered species in Australia, where it plays a vital role in rain forest ecosystems by dispersing large seeds across very wide ranges. Photograph by Christian Ziegler, National Geographic First Prize: Sports Action, Singles Photographer Wei Seng Chen's winning image captures the action of the Pacu Jawi, a traditional competition between villages in Indonesia's West Sumatra province. To celebrate the harvest, farmers harness bulls or cows and race across muddy rice fields while holding onto the animals' tails.Contest jury member Bill Frakes commented on this shot: "It's right in your face. Boom! It's explosive action. It's sharp. It's crisp. I've been shooting sports for a long time and I would be very proud to have made that image." Photograph courtesy Wei Seng Chen via WPP First Prize: Staged Portraits, Stories A mass protrudes from Makone Soumaoro's neck as she poses for a photograph taken by Stephan Vanfleteren. Soumaoro, 30, is a housewife with three children who worries that the mass could be a tumor. Guinea is considered one of the least developed countries in the world, with most of its citizens lacking access to affordable health care. Soumaoro, like many others in Guinea, hopes to be aided by the NGO Mercy Ships docked in Guinea's capital, Conakry (map).Jury member Rena Effendi praised Vanfleteren's approach to the subject: "I can't help noticing the poignant, classic beauty of the people, in spite of all their imperfections. The way he approached the subject of health in Africa from the angle of a staged, studio-lit portrait is respectable. The photographer is being innovative but not exploitative, which is a very fine line." Photograph courtesy Stephan Vanfleteren, Panos for Mercy Ships, via WPP First Prize: Nature, Stories National Geographic contributing photographer Paul Nicklen's award-winning shot helps illustrate scientific research about how emperor penguins can double or triple their speed underwater by releasing streams of tiny bubbles from their feathers. This image of a penguin using bubbles to launch itself toward the surface of the sea ice appeared in a November 2012 National Geographic magazine feature about emperor penguins. (Watch a video of Nicklen photographing the penguins.) Photograph by Paul Nicklen, National Geographic First Prize: General News, Singles An injured woman cries after her home in the northern Syrian city of Idlib (map) was shelled by the Syrian Army during civil conflict in March 2012, killing her husband and two children.Unlike a lot of the other photographs that won awards, this image, taken by Associated Press photographer Rodrigo Abd, includes a significant portion of the subject out of focus. Jury member Bill Frakes said the blurriness of the woman's hand bothered him at first, but then: "The more it was on the screen, the more it grew on me. The hand, after awhile, takes you to the eyes ... You want to know exactly what she's thinking." Photograph courtesy Rodrigo Abd, Associated Press, via WPP Third Prize: General News Stories One year after a 30-foot tsunami swept through northern Japan, uprooted pine trees remained scattered on a beach in the city of Rikuzentaka (map). The picture, among several others in Daniel Berehulak's photo series "Japan After the Wave," documents the lingering effects of the natural disaster."The point that the photographer is making is that this story, while it's no longer a story for the rest of us, is still very much an ongoing story for the people in the villages," jury member Anne Wilkes Tucker said."He really covered the range of disruption that still exists." Photograph courtesy Daniel Berehulak, Getty Images, via WPP First Prize: Contemporary Issues Stories Phan Thi Thuy and her partner of one year, Dang Thi Bich Bay, watch TV together after school in Da Nang, Vietnam—a country that has been historically hostile to same-sex relations but is now poised to become the first Asian country to recognize gay marriage.The image is part of a photo series by Maika Elan titled "The Pink Choice" that took first prize in the contemporary issues category for Elan's ability to both stir the viewers' imagination and engage with her subjects."We were all enchanted by this series," jury member Anne Wilkes Tucker said. "They're tender portraits, but some are complicated ... You feel like you've been given access to people, and even a world, that you normally wouldn't have access to, but in a respectful way." Photograph courtesy Maika Elan, Most, via WPP First Prize: Spot News, Stories Smoke clouds Gaza City after an Israeli air strike damages two buildings used by foreign media outlets and Hamas. This image by Associated Press photographer Bernat Armangue, who is based in the Middle East, is part of a series documenting the November 2012 escalation of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. (See National Geographic magazine pictures: The underground world of Gaza's tunnel system.) Photograph by Bernat Armangue, Associated Press First Prize: Contemporary Issues Single A woman who makes her living by picking through trash for recyclable goods at a 30-acre (12-hectare) dump near the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, pauses in the rain to peruse a book she found. (From our blog: "Saving Nairobi's Mothers and Babies.")"It gives me something else to do in the day besides picking [trash]," she told photojournalist Micah Albert, a freelancer based in California.Jury member Anne Wilkes Tucker said of Albert's image: "It's heartbreaking and yet it's hopeful. Here is someone whose life is very hard ... but she takes time to stop and read when she finds a book. [She has] that curiosity, that will to learn and to reach out to a wider world than this wasteland she is existing in."Tucker added that the judges also appreciated the colors captured in the photo. "It looks like a Dutch painting, in terms of the muted but rich colors that are in it." Photograph courtesy Micah Albert via WPP Second Prize: People – Staged Portraits Single Taking second prize in the "Staged Portraits Singles" category is Stefen Chow's portrait of artist and activist Ai Weiwei, who has become a symbol of the struggle for human rights in China. Despite being placed under house arrest, Ai continues to use the Internet and forums like Weibo, a microblogging site similar to Twitter, to voice his criticism against authoritarianism and censorship in his country."It's a very layered picture," commented jury member Anne Wilkes Tucker. "The Internet is implicit through that cellphone and there is a possibility that he might be taking our picture with the cellphone."She added that Ai's expression intrigued the judges. "We discussed whether it's a confrontational, resigned, or stoic expression," she said. "He is a man of great courage who has paid a high price." Photograph courtesy Stefen Chow for Smithsonian Magazine via WPP Second Prize Spot: News Single Syrian opposition fighters in Aleppo torture a suspected government informant in this July 31, 2012, photograph taken by Turkish photojournalist Emin Özmen. The captive was released after 48 hours.Jury member Anne Wilkes Tucker praised Özmen's ability to gain access to a sensitive situation in order to illustrate the realities of the Syrian conflict. "Most people inflicting torture don't want to be photographed," she said, also noting the image's unique composition. The figures in the photo converge at a focal point—the feet—to form a cross.

This less-known pillar of immigration enforcement, designed to address the jobs magnet that draws workers into the country illegally, is receiving new attention as the federal government continues to refine and expand its electronic employment eligibility verification system, known as E-Verify. The research here examines issues associated with electronic employment verification and challenges in developing an effective system.

text: Home Culture The Obama Marriage in the Tune of Beyoncé In Vogue, the POTUS admits his wife "upgrades" him, but scoffs at the idea he's "catered" to. By: Helena Andrews Posted: March 16 2013 12:49 AM 0 The Obamas dance as Beyoncé sings "At Last" at first inaugural ball, Jan. 20, 2009. (Win McNamee/Getty Images) (The Root) -- The Obamas and Beyoncé are practically BFFs -- or, at the very least, mutual fans. Since 2009 the first couple seem to have borrowed from the pop star's musical catalog for the soundtrack of their public lives. In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, the Obamas offered proof that their relationship can be summed up with one Beyoncé song ("Upgrade U") while eschewing another featuring the singer ("Cater 2 U"). "Michelle's like Beyoncé in that song," the president said in the April 2013 Vogue cover story. " 'Let me upgrade ya!' She upgraded me," he continued, referring to the singer's 2006 hit featuring her then-boyfriend, now-husband, Jay-Z. In it, Beyoncé sings, "Partner, let me upgrade you. Flip a new page. Introduce you to some new things and upgrade you." In the article, Mrs. Obama recounts how her husband used to brag about owning a pair of khaki pants for more than two decades. "You don't want to brag about that," she's quoted as joking while young White House staff members laugh in the background. "There's no doubt I'm a better man having spent time with Michelle," said the president, who claims to now own more than a dozen suits, up from two. "Upgrade U" is an obvious choice for the first couple's Beyoncé playlist. The president's genuine affection and consistent admiration for the first lady is well-documented. He's spent plenty of airtime in interviews talking about how she brings the "wow factor" to their relationship. What's less obvious, as debate has mounted in recent months about whether or not Mrs. Obama is doing enough "work" as mom-in-chief, is the sentiment -- espoused in the Destiny's Child song "Cater 2 U" -- that the president gave the thumbs-down to. When asked by Vogue how life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has affected the Obamas' marriage, White House senior adviser and longtime friend of the couple Valerie Jarrett made it clear that the first lady's job managing the Obamas' home is essential to the president's ability to do his job. Jarrett cited "the fact that his partner in this journey has been so steadfastly in his corner and never wavered" as the key to their success. To some, especially critics of Michelle Obama's decision not to "work," that statement could be construed as a romanticized take on 1950s values. According to Vogue, this is the one moment in the interview when President Obama gets a little feisty, dropping his "Hawaiian mellowness" and leaning forward to expound on Jarrett's observation and defend his wife's role. " ... I think it would be a mistake to think that my wife, when I walk in the door, is, 'Hey, honey, how was your day? Let me give you a neck rub.' It's not as if Michelle is thinking in terms of, 'How do I cater to my husband?' I think it's much more, 'We're a team, and how do I make sure that this guy is together enough that he's paying attention to his girls and not forgetting the basketball game that he's supposed to be going to on Sunday?' So she's basically managing me quite effectively -- that's what it comes down to." (Continued from Page 1) The "Cater 2 U" reference is probably coincidental, but the similarities are clear. In Destiny's Child's last hit single, the former trio sings, "I got your slippers, your dinner, your dessert and so much more. Anything you want, just let me cater to you." That "so much more" line seems to be the one the Obamas walk publicly and in private. "I would never say that Michelle's a better woman [since marrying me]," the president told Vogue after explicitly stating that his wife does, in fact, make him better, "but I will say she's a little more patient." " 'I would say I'm a better woman. You couldn't say it,' " the first lady clarified. " 'I couldn't say it,' " the president conceded. But what he can say can also be summed up by those two different hit songs: that his wife has upgraded him from behind the scenes (and in front of the camera) -- but what she doesn't do is cater to him.

1965 Dodge Coronet Mopar Hemi - Old School CoolWritten by on October 18, 2006 1965 Dodge Coronet with a Mopar Performance Hemi engine, a TorqueFlite automatic transmission, and a Cheetah shifter
When many of us reached our teenage years, we rebelled against the way our folks did things. But what if you're Travis Hess from Martinsburg, West Virginia, and your father is noted racer Bucky Hess? How can you rebel against a guy that spends his weekends driving really fast in a Hemi-powered A-Body? Bucky has made a name for himself in SS/AA drag racing, where his 8-second King Cuda has been a major contender during the last decade. His son Travis didn't really rebel, but he chose a different way to go when it came to building his performance goal.
"What I wanted was a '60s-inspired Super Stock street car," he told us as we looked over his '65 Coronet. "Plus, I wanted to be able to do a little nostalgia racing with it." Travis had made all that happen with this cruiser-taking accolades at the first-ever Hot Rod magazine Pump Gas Drags in 2004, putting down quite a few highway miles, and even qualifying for Nostalgia Super Stock races on open weekends.
The Dodge originally came into the Hess family in 2001. The original plan was to build a mild street beast out of it. In fact, in Travis' mind at the time, the car would be fun with just a worked 383 in it. However, when Bucky won the '01 Hemi Challenge SS/AA race at the U.S. Nationals that year, there was a brand-new Hemi block available and plans changed. Travis paints cars and custom bikes for a living, and he's pretty good at it. Part of the payment he got from a job he did for Johnny Kelley, another SS/AA racer friend, was a used set of spare Indy Stage V Hemi heads. In fact, most of the motor was assembled with cast-off parts from Super Stock programs that time and competition had left in the dust. The lung, which the guys at Ray Barton's place put together, now displaces 528 inches.
Travis says, "The intake and valve covers are off Dad's first 8-second Cuda. They leak a little, but they look supercool. The seats are the originals out of that first 'Cuda as well."
The JE pistons help squeeze a mild 10.5:1 compression ratio, while a custom .660-inch lift Bullet cam, mated with Schubeck lifters and Manley valve gear, keeps the fuel flowing through a pair of Bucky-prepped Holley 770 carburetors.
A set of custom headers flowing into a 3-inch exhaust keeps the rumble to a legal minimum, and MSD parts, Moroso wires, and Autolite plugs light the explosions in each cylinder.
Behind this combination is a 727 TorqueFlite rebuilt by Gene Strouse, with a ProTrans valvebody, and an ATI 8-inch converter that stalls out at 5,500 rpm. There's a Dana 60 setup with Mark Williams parts, and a Detroit Locker is surrounded by 4.10 gears; mileage is not a crucial issue with this package.
After spending a month scraping the undercoating off the car and painting the floor, Travis turned it over to Straightline Performance in Hagerstown, Maryland, where a six-point cage went in, and the car was setup with mini-tubs and Super Stock springs. In keeping with the old-school look, Radir 15x4 mag wheels were mounted up front, and steel wheels measuring 15x10 inches host M/T 31/14.50x10 tires on the back. Front disc brakes were added as well.
The body is still the same blue that a previous owner had applied, but Travis redid the roof in a metalflake silver. He also added the small Von Dutch-inspired pinstriping touches. Inside is a blue A990-type interior with aluminum work. Auto meter gauges, a Mooneyes steering wheel, and M&R belts round out the Super Stock look.
Does it work? The car has clicked off some very respectable times in the 10.20s with speeds approaching 135 mph. Travis gives special credit to his dad Bucky, Cole at Straightline, Chris at ATI, and transmission guy Gene Strouse for all their help.
"I love this car because it has patina," says Travis. "It looks like it has been together for 40 years. If it was perfect I would never want to drive it or lay rubber with it. Sure, I could make it perfect, but I probably never will!"
Fast Facts
'65 Dodge Coronet Travis Hess • Martinsburg, WV
Mopar Power
Engine: Starting life as a Mopar Performance Hemi block, Ray Barton Racing engines filled it with a Bullet solid-lifter cam with .660-inch lift, a steel Mopar Performance stroker crankshaft, spinning Manley rods, and JE forged pistons. After topping the short-block with a set of Indy-prepped Stage V Hemi heads, the final compression ratio comes in at 10.5:1. Induction features a Super Stock cross-ram intake with two Holley carburetors. Custom headers finally send the spent gas out the back through 3-inch pipes.
Transmission: To get power to the rearend, Travis uses a Gene Strouse-built 727 TorqueFlite with a 5,500-stall speed ATI converter, measuring a measly 8-inches in diameter.
Differential: a Dana 60 filled with a set of 4.10:1 gears are mounted to a Detroit Locker spool, and supplemental Mark Williams parts round out the package.
Horsepower & Performance: Knowing Travis' lineage, it's no wonder he and his father Bucky would build a street car capable of 10.20 e.t.'s at a blistering 134 mph.
Sure Grip
Suspension: The front suspension consists of the factory style torsion bar setup. the rear leaf springs with Koni adjustable shocks plant the car firmly to the launch pad.
Brakes: At 134 mph, you better be able to bring things to a halt. the Dodge utilizes factory drum brakes in the rear, and up front is a set of Aerospace Components disc brakes.
Wheels: In keeping with a Super Stock vibe, Travis placed a pair of radir 15x4-inch five-spoke wheels up front and 15x10-inch "steelies" on the back.
Rubber: It may be a street car, but making it hook requires some really good rubber. Travis decided to go with Mickey Thompson tires, using a Sportsman front runner and ET Streets with a whopping 31x14.5x15-inch dimension out back.
High Impact
Body: After Travis acquired the Coronet, he sent it to Straightline Performance in Hagerstown, Maryland, so a six-point cage could be added. the car's trunk was fitted with mini-tubs, and Super Stock springs were mounted underneath.
Paint: When Travis acquired the car, it was already painted. All he did was add his personal touches: the Bass-boat metalflake on the roof and the Von Dutch/Ratfink-inspired striping.
Interior: In true Super Stock fashion, a blue A990-inspired interior is fitted with aluminum work. Auto meter gauges monitor the leftover Hemi parts-bin; a Mooneyes steering wheel is definitely old-school cool. Keeping Travis stuck to the vinyl are M&R seatbelts. No need for a radio or heater, things get noisy and warm enough without them. Mounted to the floor is a Cheetah SCS shifter.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The interior just screams vintage Super Stock race car-no radio or heater, A990 seats and seat brackets. it's sparse for a street car, but that's what makes it cool.When Travis' dad won the inaugural Hemi Shootout in 2001, part of the prize was a new hemi block from Mopar. That changed the plans from a 383-powered cruiser to the elephant-propelled flyer it is now. Most of the rest of the engine's pieces are things other Super Stock guys no longer used, and Travis traded work for them.

Chester, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Clinging to their playoff lives, the
Philadelphia Union welcome Eastern Conference rivals Toronto FC to PPL Park on
Saturday in a must-win scenario.
Philadelphia entered last weekend's road clash against Sporting Kansas City
winless in its previous five league matches and sitting in seventh place in the
crowded Eastern Conference.
But Conor Casey struck against the run of play in the 36th minute and
goalkeeper Zac MacMath came up with his best performance of the season as the
Union earned a crucial three points in a hostile environment to move into fifth
place on 42 points.
"Playing here is incredibly difficult," Union manager John Hackworth said. "We
were up against a really good opponent tonight and we were fortunate, but you
can see our fight and we were pretty tough and resilient all the way through."
Tactically, the Union played a classic road game, bunkering in a waiting for an
opportunity to strike on the counter-attack. Sporting had much more of
possession and put several quality chances on frame, but was unable to finish,
which ultimately cost them the points.
"They put us under a lot of pressure for good chunks of the game," Casey said.
"But I thought we defended quite well, especially our back four. It was just
really a great team defensive effort. It's just a huge three points for us and
something we really needed at this point in the season."
The result was Philadelphia's most important of the season. But now another
must-win is on the docket with ninth-place Toronto FC coming to town.
If Philadelphia wants to claim another important three points, which would
almost secure their second playoff berth in franchise history, they will need
to adopt a more forward-thinking approach to the game.
Toronto has struggled mightily this season with just five victories, but
they'll be riding into Chester on a high after demolishing D.C. United by a 4-1
count at BMO Field last Saturday, which put an end to an eight-match winless
D.C. United opened the scoring with a long-range effort from Jared Jeffrey in
the 15th minute, but Toronto then took over as Darel Russell scored 10 minutes
later to send the sides into the break on level terms.
Bright Dike gave TFC the lead with his first goal of the season in the 76th
minute. A Conor Shanosky own goal put the home side ahead by two and Alvaro Rey
scored three minutes from time to complete the rout for the Reds.
"It is definitely a good feeling," Dike said of his team's victory. "We have to
keep it going now. Hopefully we can start stringing together some performances
like that and become a better and more consistent team at the end of this year
and next year."
Saturday's clash will be the third and final meeting of the season between the
sides. Both previous meetings finished as 1-1 draws with Union forward Jack
McInerney scoring a late equalizer on both occasions.

The revolutionary LEAP fuel nozzle.
The LEAP engine is introducing the second generation Twin-Annular, Pre-Mixing Swirler Combustor (TAPS II). Arguably the industry's most advanced combustor, TAPS II is reducing NOx emissions by 50%*.
A technology critical to achieving those reductions is the advanced fuel nozzle. Unlike traditional combustors that mix fuel and air inside the combustion chamber, the LEAP nozzle pre-mixes these elements to provide what our engineers call lean burn combustion. We just call it revolutionary.
Even the way the part is manufactured is another CFM first. This very sophisticated nozzle is actually "grown" using additive manufacturing. It's just one more way CFM gives you more to believe in.
*Compared to current CFM 56 engines with identical overall pressure ratio.

Parking at The K
Just like Kauffman Stadium, the parking procedures at the Truman Sports Complex are getting a little facelift this season…
Starting April 8 for the Royals home opener, the club will implement a new parking and access system that is in conjunction with the ongoing renovations, but, in reality, is a plan that has been in the works for awhile. Now, we understand that change is hard sometimes – especially when it deals with your favorite sports team – but this new parking plan is pretty harmless and will be a lot more efficient for you…
In the redesigned system, you will be directed to parking lots based on which gate you use to enter the complex. Once inside the complex, there are three categories of parking – gold and blue reserved for season ticket holders, as well as general parking – available on both sides of the stadium. You'll be directed to one of these lots based on where you should be parking…all on the side you entered. Make sense?
Okay…well you're in luck because it is all outlined here on royals.com/parking – with interactive diagrams, maps and routes that are the most efficient and fastest when it comes to getting you into your seat for a Royals game!
In addition, you can find other useful parking information on the website, including a special FAQ section and you can even request an official "2008 Parking at The K" guide – which will be handed out around town and at Kauffman Stadium.
The most important thing to take into consideration is that you should try your best to check royals.com/parking and determine the route you want to take all before heading to the ballpark. Oh, it'll also be a whole lot easier for you if you buy those game tickets ahead of time!
Let us know what you think about the new parking structure and if you have any questions. After all, we don't want you to have any problems getting out to The K for a game this season!
3 Comments
Hm, so those of us that aren't season ticket holders can plan on parking further away but paying just as much. I dunno if I can approve of that. I wish there were some alternative parking spots around the stadium… I wouldn't mind saving some money in exchange for risking my life crossing Blue Parkway. Hah.
I like the tier structure some stadiums are doing, IF and only if it means I can get cheaper parking in exchange for walking. I don't mind walking a bit if I can get a discount on parking, but it looks like you're charging the same but making us park further away… that's not really something I can get excited about.
As a non-season ticket holder, I don't like the change. Part of the fun of the Saturday afternoon tailgate was getting their so early that you could pick your spot under the trees just outside of the gate in right field. Oh well.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Nicolas Batum's go-ahead 3-pointer with 0.2
seconds left in double overtime lifted the Portland Trail Blazers to a 118-117
win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Portland trailed, 117-115, with 2.5 left and following a timeout, Damian
Lillard passed to Batum along the right corner and he turned, fired, and
nailed the triple in front of the Cleveland bench.
The Cavs didn't get a shot off before time expired.
Lillard tallied 24 points and Batum added 22 for Portland, which snapped its
four-game losing streak.
"It was much needed, that's an understatement," Blazers head coach Terry
Stotts said of the victory.
Anderson Varejao had 19 points and 17 rebounds for Cleveland, which has
dropped 11 of its last 13 contests.

Patti Benedict has struggled with Cystic Fibrosis her whole life. Now she needs a double lung transplant. But to get there, she could use your help.
Asheboro -- People with Cystic Fibrosis don't tend to live 53 years. Just by being alive, Patti Benedict is beating the odds.
She was born with the inherited disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. It causes the body to produce a thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs. Every day, she has to wake up early for treatments. She wears a vest which basically knocks the mucus loose so she can breathe for a few more hours.
As of now, Benedict's lung capacity is about 22%. She needs a double lung transplant to save her life. The transplant is expensive- but covered by insurance. However, the expenses don't stop there. They will go on for the rest of her life. She will need $2,000 a month just for medications... for the rest of her life.
On top of that, she and her husband live in Asheboro but will also need an apartment within 30 minutes of Chapel Hill, where she will have the surgery, for about 3 months. Plus, neither she nor her husband will be able to work during that time when he is acting as her full time care-giver.
The Benedicts are in need of help. They need to raise $100,000 before Patti can have the surgery. They will be having several fundraisers in the next few months. Or you can simply donate to their cause through COTA, the Children's Organ Transplant Association.

Item # HED001A
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Clincher Wheels in stock than that.View Similar Products
HED Ardennes FR Clincher Wheelset $0.00
If you're a 10-speed die-hard, but looking for a wheelset upgrade, the HED Ardennes FR Clincher Wheelset is one of the best-performing wheelsets you've likely never heard of or thought about. The FR in the name should tell you something; the initials are short for Flamme Rouge, HED's top-shelf designation. It's a lightweight, aluminum-rimmed wheelset that's also fast, strong, and makes any tire grip the road better.
Part of the reason you probably haven't heard of these wheels is that the ProTour teams HED sponsors are typically quiet about their association with HED. The other part is that ProTour riders don't race aluminum clinchers. If they had to pony up their own cash, the story would be different. You'd see these with frequency.
From afar, the Ardennes look like a standard, low spoke count, shallow-depth aluminum clincher. There are 18 spokes in front and 24 in the back. The rim depth is 24mm, a depth that should never be affected by crosswinds. It's the rim where the big differences are. HED debuted a new rim concept in 2007, dubbed C2: lower coefficient of rolling resistance (Crr) and better aerodynamics (Cda). The difference is that the rim is 23mm wide.
The 23mm width, at a time when most rims are around 19mm, is a big difference. The reason for the width is because of 23mm tires, the minimum tire width you almost always should be using on the road (there are 22mm clinchers; these will work, too). A 23mm rim paired with a 23mm tire changes the tire's footprint dramatically. It grips better in a straight line, but it grips better in turns because the tire deforms differently and more evenly. A 23mm tire on a 23mm rim also has lower rolling resistance. HED sent the wheels to Continental Tires for testing. Conti's engineers shrugged their shoulders, figured there was no difference, but put them in the jig and ran the tests anyways. It turns out this width has 18% less rolling resistance than a standard 19mm rim. And, because of the smoother shape, the transition air makes from the edge of the tread to the sidewall to the rim wall to the end of the rim is smoother and causes less disturbance, resulting in a more laminar air flow and less aerodynamic drag. It might have seemed crazy at first blush, but the industry is following. Obviously, it's a good idea to run 23mm or wider tires on any of HED's Ardennes wheels.
They didn't rest when they finished the rim. They've reworked the entire wheel. The spokes are Sapim's popular and aerodynamic CX-Ray spokes with self-securing aluminum nipples. The straight-pull spokes are laced radially in front to aluminum end caps bonded to a carbon fiber shaft. The rear is laced two-cross for greater stiffness. The spokes are polished and silver in color.
The hubs are also HED's design. Known as Sonic, they run ABEC5 bearings on oversized axles, 12mm in front and 15mm in the rear. HED spaced the flanges as widely as possible to create a stronger bracing angle, resulting in better lateral stiffness. The front hub has a carbon-fiber tube with aluminum end caps. The rear is aluminum with flanges.
As this wheel has the Flamme Rouge designation, you know everything has been pared down to reduce weight. The rim is Scandium rather than aluminum. The ratchet ring in the rear hub is titanium as well. Even the rear hub has been stepped up, with a grease port and carbon-fiber port cap; with this, you can power-wash your bike and re-lube without taking your wheel apart.
HED's Ardennes Flamme Rouge are available in 10-speed-compatible Shimano/SRAM. The wheels come with HED's steel-shafted skewers and rim strips. HED does not recommend this wheelset for people weighing over 190lbs.

What a bargain, what performance.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this wheelset, initially, because of the price and reputation. I had wanted to experiment with a wider aluminum rim for a while and this was a great opportunity. The wheelset arrived and was packaged perfectly. The first thing you notice with this setup upon pulling it out of the box is just how light it is. I was impressed. Next, you have to do the obligatory "spin them in your hands" trick, and the bearings were just silky smooth, they seemed to spin for days. So far, so good. I planned on using this setup as a training wheelset, to pretty much abuse them and ride them anywhere and everywhere, so I did. Much to my surprise, these wheels are noticeably faster than most I have owned. They felt as fast as my ZIPP 404 full carbon clincher race wheels, yet they were more comfortable. They made my Scott FOIL more bearable over the rough stuff and with the wider rims, allowed a little less air pressure and the handling was amazing. I actually raced them in a few criteriums and I never felt at a disadvantage while doing so. I think in a long road race you might have a bit of a disadvantage due to the aerodynamics of not being a larger profile aero wheel, but I don't know for sure. This wheelset stood up to on road, fire road and dirt road use. It never got one bit out of true, and they were not treated gingerly. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that was looking for a wheel system that comes pre built. I have moved on to custom wheel sets from a local source, but would not be shy about purchasing this set again if the opportunity presented itself again.
Great wheel set
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love these wheels! Yes, you will see grease gushing out of the rear hub after the first few rides but don't worry! I have these wheels on my new ride fitted with Michelin Pro Race 3 tires (same as my other bikes). The ride quality on the Ardennes FR is superb and plush compared with my other wheels - Mavic R-Sys, Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL & Zipp 404. They are light, smooth rolling and very quiet when coasting compared to the Mavics. The wider rims make a huge difference to wide quality with no loss of performance. I was a skeptic but am sold! They will be my wheel of choice in any future build!
Rear hub released grease on initial use
Rear hub released excess grease on initial use, but wiped it off and it has been riding fine for > 1K miles. grease port on hub makes re-greasing easy/convenient. after the initial grease release I've had no issues.
Nice wheels, but..
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Purchased these wheels and a month later the rear hub cracked and failed, which needed to be sent back to HED for a new wheel.
The wheels were nice while they lasted. I am on my second hub, so we will see how long this one lasts. My experience may be in the minority, but i expected more from the brand.
great wheelset for the money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
light weight, rugged and smooth. great value for the money. initial ride produced leakage of excess grease in the rear hub, but nothing to worry about. grease port on hub makes re-greasing easy and convenient. hub has performed fine since original grease release, just wiped it off and it was good to go.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I?ve been riding these wheels for 2 years and have enjoyed every mile. They are ultra-light, ultra-smooth, and provide ultra-grip. Feels very much like a sew-up. Excellent all around every day wheel, especially great for crits due to the larger contact patch and quick acceleration.
Like the newer HED FR - R THESE TUBELESS
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
SO are these tubeless rims like their newer siblings? My rating is pointless becuz I don't own these - yet.
No, these are clinchers.
No, these do not have the bead shelf like the newer model does.
Weight Limit?
I believe there is a weight limit to these wheels set at 190lbs per manufacture. Is that correct? Do you have a Stallion build available at this price?
That is correct, the weight limit is 190lbs.
Shimano/Sram is 9/10 speed Only.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Please note that if you are running 11 spd Shimano/Sram you will need HED0032
The 11 speed can be found here: http://www.competitivecyclist.com/hed-ardennes-fr-wheelset-clincher-hed0032.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- Some Springbrook High School students are making a video game that could help mankind in the future and are competing for a national title.
Four students who were inspired by last year's massive earthquake in Japan created "electra hope." The goal is to avoid debris in the rushing river, keep water wheels spinning, generate electricity, then the power sent to the village by underground wire.
"They can actually bring attention to social causes to something people may have forgotten about or might not really know about," said teacher Pat Yongpradit.
That's what the Microsoft Imagine Cup is all about. Team Digital Infinity wrote the program in the C Sharp language. They submitted their entry on YouTube and hoped for the best.
Junior Abhinav Jambulingam shared, "I clicked on it. It says 'Congratulations. You made it to the USA Finals.' I couldn't believe it at first."
To win the national title, they will be judge on a 30-minute presentation of their game at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Ronny Ortiz will do the speaking for that presentation. He told us, "I want them to remember Digital Infinity, to remember our name and our presentation."
The team leaves for Washington State on Friday and if they win, they go on to the international finals in Australia.
The general public can vote for Team Digital Infinity in the people's choice portion of the Imagine Cup by doing one of the following:

Chael Sonnen has opted against an appeal of this past weekend's UFC 148 loss to middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
Sonnen suffered a second-round TKO loss after he slipped on a spinning-backfist attempt, which allowed Silva to tag him with a knee to the body that set up the eventual stoppage at the July 7 event.
Sonnen said he won't appeal on the basis the knee was illegal.
Earlier this week, Sonnen's coach Scott McQuarry told MMAjunkie.com he individually planned to appeal the defeat, which aired on pay-per-view from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. He hoped it'd lead to a third match between Sonnen and Silva. However, Sonnen's manager, Mike Roberts, said he knew of no plans for Sonnen himself to appeal, and Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer said it was unlikely to be unsuccessful anyway.
Sonnen finally addressed the situation Tuesday on FUEL TV.
"The referee's judgment is what stands," he said. "I trust in that, and it works both ways. The referee makes the decision, and that is the decision. We live with it. We would never go and appeal. A decision is a decision. Part of competing is you have to know how to lose. It's real easy to win, but you have to know how to lose. You have to man up, swallow it and walk out."
Sonnen, in fact, voice support for referee Yves Lavigne, who deemed Silva's knee legal. Replays, in fact, showed the knee landed legally to the chest. It didn't land illegally to the head, as some some speculated immediately after the event, though a good portion of Silva's thigh appeared to hit Sonnen's face.
"The knee really hurt," Sonnen said. "All the shots really hurt. Here's the reality. We don't do instant replay in this sport, and we shouldn't. It comes down to a judgment call. And wherever the referee says the knee landed officially, that is where the knee landed. That is an excellent official, as they all are. He made his call, and I will never complain and look back."
When asked about retirement, Sonnen said athletes should take at least a month after a loss to think about the decision. He suggested he'll do the same. (At the post-UFC 148 press conference, Sonnen said he didn't want to compete if he was just using up a roster spot and not challenging for a title.)
Sonnen also shot down rumors of a potential move to the WWE. He said he'd go to the WWE as a fan, "but I go back to my promoter Dana White at the end of the night," he said.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KSDK) - Missouri Department of Transportation crews have delayed daily closures of Interstate 64 to blast rock for one week.
Work will now begin February 18 because wet conditions have slowed the work to prepare for the blasting, which was originally scheduled to begin February 11.
Starting February 18 the interstate will close once per day near the I-64 Daniel Boone Missouri River Bridge to blast rock adjacent to the eastbound lanes of I-64 on the St. Charles County end of the bridge. Traffic will be stopped for up to 10 minutes at either 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. on weekdays for about one month.
Police officers and construction vehicles will slow traffic to allow for the closure. Eastbound traffic will slow starting at the Route 94 interchange, and westbound traffic will slow at the Boone's Crossing interchange.
Missouri Research Park and Chesterfield Airport Road entrance ramps will also be closed during the blasting.
KATY Trail users will be stopped on the trail during the blasting.
