An analysis showing that phase noise in a master diode laser is converted to amplitude noise in an injection-locked Ti:sapphire power amplifier was recently published ["Intensity noise of an injection-locked Ti:sapphire laser: analysis of the phase-noise-to-amplitude-noise conversion," J. Opt. Soc. Am. B, 23, 1276–1286 (2006)]. As this analysis might discourage the broad implementation of injection locking, we report amplitude noise and laser linewidth measurements in such a system and note that these lasers have sufficiently low noise to be useful in a wide range of experiments in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. A low-power diode laser is amplified to

I like, I like!!!! The truth is, is that the folks that are tickled pink are out flying and NOT posting! The other folks that are disgruntled are taking time out of their live to post because, well, Horizon has their bird and it won't be home for 3 weeks to a month (personal experience). I tend to believe that most folks have a good functioning bird. I will have to say however that when I bought my MCP X I read and read about it in these wonderful forums filled with (for the most part) wonderful people and when my MCP X had uncontrollable "wet dog shakes" out of the box, I already knew that I had to do the "canopy nut mod" so I wasn't really disappointed in my imagination. Still kinda sad though that you have to fix something brand new. After all, I'm NOT a fanboy. I want my stuff to work out of the box but I know full well that it's a roll of the dice. I'm just a bit of a masochist b/c I love it when an H/H product works yet I am perfectly willing to mod! b |

I believe HH relies on this type of blind devotion though with alot of their products....they hype it up so much that noone wants to feel like a fool for overspending..so they come on battling the few postive things about the product and arguing.........they have plety of "free time" though....cant fly broken toys |

Yah, that's why I have a love/hate with them. Friend had been after me for over a year to spring for the MCP X and because I'm "grounded" and an actual man who can admit his mistakes, I had to concede that out of my 450's and 500 I absolutely LOVE that dang MCP X. It is soooooo phreakin' fun to fly! Conversely I was soooooooo disappointed in the Blade SR that I was short of Ted Kazinsky in my correspondence with H/H. They knew/know that that product is AWFUL! I spent hundreds and hunreds on that piece of misery! Be that as it may, the 130x has great potential and I will treat myself to one in the coming months (the AFTER MARKET vendors are the true genius's here) when modifying it to an equitable level with put it in the air, more than on the bench! All the best! b PS Did you enjoy the "Phantom of the Opera" reference?? I slay me! |

I'll do what I want thank you. Your opinion, believe it or not isn't needed or appreciated. I answered the mans question from my perspective and I have no need to answer to you about why, when or what I may or may not do now, or in the future. However, just this last time I'll explain myself to you since you apparently have a need for it. I did check in to the MH part but it's already showing out of stock. It's rather expensive but not unreasonable if it works. I understand it costs money to make a metal part like that and consequently the manufacturer needs to profit above that cost. If my HH supplied stock parts fail again I'll keep asking for replacements until HH tells me "no more". Then I might look to spend money on third party stuff. Or HH may have responded to their customers needs just as they have in the past for me and they will correct the design/manufacturing flaw that is occuring. Do I know they won't provide the corrected parts for free. No, not any more than you do. They might not, but I'm thinking the tail pitch slider they will since that failure sometimes results in the tail blades flying off. Again, if they fix the problem but charge for the parts I'll address that problem when it occurs. Don't bother sending me any more PM's Sertav, Kokopellie, Mhunter or whatever other name you've been banned with in the past or come up with next. I already wasted 30 seconds of my life reading the other two. Please add me to your ignore list. On a positive note, occasionally you do provide some useful information. If you could present it in a different manner we could all continue to benefit from it. Its a real catch 22 to me. In some ways your next banishment would be a loss. |

ArenaBowl XX, held on Sunday, June 11, 2006, was played to determine the championship of the 2006 season of the Arena Football League. For the second consecutive year, the game was played at the neutral site of the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. It pitted the National Conference Champions, the Orlando Predators, against the American Conference Champions, the Chicago Rush. The Chicago Rush won 69-61. This game was televised on AFL on NBC, and was the final game played under the AFL's contract with NBC.
Chicago Rush[edit]
The Chicago Rush was entering its sixth season in the Arena Football League and coming off back-to-back appearances in the AFL's American Conference Championships, falling in 2004 to the San Jose SaberCats and in 2005 to the Colorado Crush in the "Confetti Bowl." Both San Jose and Colorado would go on to win the respective ArenaBowls.
The Rush opened the season on the road against the Crush at the Pepsi Center, and Colorado unveiled its ArenaBowl XIX championship banner before the game. For the Rush, Matt D'Orazio was named the team's starting quarterback, replacing Raymond Philyaw in the off-season, and beating out Heisman Trophy finalist Michael Bishop in training camp. The Rush faced adversity before the game even started, when kicker Keith Gispert was injured in pre-game warm-ups. Without a backup on the roster, Bishop would kickoff for the Rush and Chicago attempted two-point conversations after every touchdown. The Rush lost when Colorado's Damian Harrell broke a tie game, catching the game-winning pass with one second left in the game.
The following week Chicago's home opener, the team lost another heart-breaker to the New York Dragons. It appeared that D'Orazio had scored the game-winning touchdown run with no time left on the clock, but an offensive penalty nullified the score and ended the game. Chicago was 0-2. The Rush traded for defensive specialist Jeremy Unertl who intercepted eight passes on the season, and Chicago began a three-game win streak to move to 3-2, with two wins coming in overtime.
But the Rush lost six of its next seven games to fall to 4-6. Then the Rush signed Bobby Sippio to bolster the offense. In the regular season, Sippio caught 38 passes, 17 for touchdowns, and put up 654 receiving yards.
But the Rush sat at 5-9 and had to win its last two games to make the playoffs. The Rush would answer the call to finish the year 7-9, blowing out the Utah Blaze 84-48 and defeating the Grand Rapids Rampage 70-47.
It was the Rush's first and only losing season in franchise history, but ironically, would produce the team's best playoff run. But the Rush would have to go on the road the entire time.
Chicago opened the post-season on the road against the Nashville Kats. As divisional rivals, the teams met twice in the regular season, and spit the games. Both teams won at home, in overtime, with both games coming down to a made or missed two-point conversation. The Rush defense came up big and Chicago won 55-47. Up next was the Colorado Crush, the defending ArenaBowl champions who had beat the Rush twice in the regular season. But Chicago scored on an interception return for a touchdown by Dennison Robinson, Unertl recovered a ball off the net after a kickoff and DeJuan Alfonzo returned a fumble for a touchdown. The Rush led 13-0 after the first quarter, 33-14 at halftime and held on 63-46.
The San Jose SaberCats stood between the Rush and its first trip to the ArenaBowl. San Jose beat Chicago in the conference championship in 2004. The Rush fell behind 21-10 in the second quarter, but fought back to take a 32-28 lead. The team's exchanged scores until the Rush got up by two possessions 52-42 and held on to a 59-56 win to advance to the its first ArenaBowl in franchise history.
Orlando Predators[edit]
The Predators had a much more orthodox run to the ArenaBowl. Orlando finished the season 10-6, won the Southern Division and had the No. 2 seed in the National Conference, earning a bye during the Wild Card Playoffs.
After losing in Week 1 to the Georgia Force, Orlando won its next three games. A two-game losing streak had the team at 4-4, but the Predators won their next five games to move to 9-5. The team ended the regular season losing two of three.
Orlando swept the rival Tampa Bay Storm in two games. The Predators were coached by Jay Gruden, brother of Jon Gruden. Joe Hamilton quarterbacked the team.
In the Divisional Playoffs, Orlando knocked off the Philadelphia Soul in a defensive battle, 31-27. The Soul led for the game's entire first 57 minutes before Orland got the game's final score. In the National Conference Championship, defense also was the key story for Orlando. Traveling to face the Dallas Desperados, Dallas had finished the season 13-3 and were heavy favorites, but the Predators held the Desperados to 28 points, pitching a fourth-quarter shutout and won 45-28.
It was the Predators seventh trip to the ArenaBowl. Orlando was a two-time champion, winning ArenaBowl XII and ArenaBowl XIV
Game summary[edit]
First quarter[edit]
The Chicago Rush got off to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter. The Rush received the opening kickoff and quarterback Matt D'Orazio scored on a one-yard run to cap off the first drive. The Orlando Predators fumbled on their first drive, Chicago recovered the loose ball and turned it into a field goal.
Second quarter[edit]
The Predators finally got on board in the second quarter. Orlando quarterback Joe Hamilton connected with Javarus Dudley over the air to cut Chicago's lead to 10-7. The Orlando made up for its first possession fumble, recovering a Rush fumble on the ensuing kickoff. The Predators turned the turnover into a touchdown to take their first lead, 14-10. The teams traded touchdowns throughout the second quarter, in a fast paced period that saw seven touchdowns alone. Late in the quarter, Rush wide receiver Bobby Sippio caught an eight yard pass from D'Orazio, and Chicago retook a 31-28 lead. Orlando had one final chance to try a long field goal attempt. The kick was no good, and the Predators were called for a penalty that gave Chicago one un-timed down on offense. The Rush elected to try a 51 yard field goal from kicker Dan Frantz. Frantz hit the kick, giving Chicago a 34-28 lead at the break. It was the fourth straight time Frantz had connected on a long field goal on the last play of the first half, doing so in all three of Chicago's previous playoff games.
Third quarter[edit]
The game turned in the third quarter. Orlando was set to return the second half kickoff, but the ball took a funny bounce off the net, and the Rush recovered. It set Chicago's offense up for another D'Orazio rushing touchdown, and Chicago led 41-28. On the Predator's next drive, Hamilton was picked off by Rush defensive back Dennison Robinson. Robinson returned the interception 44 yards for a touchdown, giving Chicago a 48-28 lead. The Predators got on the board to end the quarter, a Hamilton pass to Dudley to make it 48-34 after Orlando missed the extra point.
Fourth quarter[edit]
The Rush answered with a touchdown of its own to start the final quarter, a 31 yard reception to Sippio. Forced to try to score in a hurry and play catch up, Orlando got a stop on the Rush and scored back to back drives, cutting the score to one-possession 55-47 with 4:04 left in the game. Chicago answered, going up 62-47 on a touchdown pass from D'Orazio to Etu Molden. The play was designed for the ball to be intentionally thrown off the net, and Molden caught the deflection, sliding in the endzone. Orlando would not go home easily. The Predators continued to answer the Rush scores. Three times in the fourth quarter, Orlando cut the Rush lead to one score and scored two touchdowns in the game's final 33 seconds, but that was as close as it could get. Chicago ended the game with its Victory Pass play. Lining up, D'Orazio took the snap and ran around behind the line of scrimmage, finally throwing the ball high into the stands when the pressure came, and the Rush ended the game ahead 69-61.

CHICKBALLAPUR: To ensure that farmers make better use of various loan facilities, the State Bank of Mysore (SBM) is observing agricultural productivity month across the country.
During the month, which commenced on May 4, the SBM staff will visit villages, identify eligible farmers and provide suitable agricultural loans. Such a programme has been taken up to increase advances to the agricultural sector, the bank's Chickballapur branch manager K.S. Suresh said here on Monday.
Agricultural loans worth Rs. 2 crore and Kissan credit cards were disbursed to farmers at a function organised by the three branches of the SBM in Chickballapur on Monday.
Meanwhile, in accordance with a novel concept devised by the NABARD, four farmers' clubs, sponsored by the SBM were also inaugurated on the occasion by the bank's Deputy General Manager T.S. Sathyanarayana.
Mr. Suresh told The Hindu that the bank would strive for the overall development of the four villages through the farmers' clubs.

"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." Stephen Biko
We work to try to understand the essence of the narcissist. When I was trying to explain the N to a friend, she understood an N as someone not "able to face the pain of imagining they did something wrong". I wasn't sure about this so did a quick internet search on narcissists and admitting wrong and accepting fault, and got these quotes:
The narcissist often notices that something is wrong with him and with his life -- but he never admits it.
... the narcissist is incapable of admitting that something is wrong with HIM
They will never admit fault, they will never say they are sorry. If something goes wrong, they will play the victim. They will blame others.
Remember they will never admit they are wrong, they will never debase themselves with an apology. They will never laugh at themselves.
"[I suspect my husband is a narcissist]. Last night we got into an argument over our daughters homework and he was absolutely livid because he was wrong and he knew he was wrong but could not admit it. He try's to place blame on anyone and everyone but himself."
Narcissists adores themselves. They live for them, they think they can do no wrong and will not admit to wrongdoing [re: traits common to 6 year olds and adult narcissists]
[For the narcissist] to admit to one failing, to acknowledge a mistake, even a simple human error of judgement, would be to open the door to the deep internal lack within. ... Such feelings of worthlessness are like an ocean being held back by a fragile dyke. The illusion of perfection, maintained by projecting faults onto someone else, is a barrier to be constantly tended, mended and shored up. To admit any feelings of deficiency would be the equivalent of poking a hole in the dyke, an event to be feared as a total disaster.
Narcissists blame all problems on the "all-bad." It's never the narcissist's fault; it's always someone else's.
The last paragraph speaks truly from a narcissist's perspective. It's the victim's fault.
If the two of you have a conflict, he'll tweak the facts as much as he has to to make it all your fault.
His perverse way of turning everything into my fault and his blaming left me battered and exhausted.
Narcissists who were children of entitlement: Externalization of Blame -- The child cannot allow the bad feelings of being at fault for anything. He/she/they/YOU are the problem! He avoids feeling vulnerable by blaming others. The fragile self esteem cannot be punctured by taking responsibility for behavior. His script is "Do not expose me to those intolerable feelings inside. I can't handle it."
Since the false self is grandiose and perfect, relationship problems are never the fault of the narcissist.
For making a change (whether great or small) implies that the narcissist has been two things they "cannot stand": imperfect (something is actually wrong with "them") and at fault ("they" actually were wrong, weak, or inferior somehow).
It can't be HIS fault - he is perfect.
The narcissist says in effect, "Something doesn't feel right. I'm too special to be the cause, therefore it must be your fault."

Integrating Writer into Your Business - page 4
Writer Has The Right Stuff
To do a simple three-, four-, or five-column report in OpenOffice.org Writer, we'll again turn to the AutoPilot.
If you didn't configure JAVA when you loaded OpenOffice.org, that's OK, because the AutoPilot will check for you. When I first built my system, SuSE Linux 8.0 Pro loaded a JAVA Software Developer Kit and runtime environment, by default. You can find a runtime environment by using the whereis command. On a command line type:
whereis java
My JAVA directory turned out to be /usr/lib. The AutoPilot will ask for the directory. Type it in and then restart OpenOffice.org.
If it turns out that you don't have JAVA, you'll have to load it on your machine before you can use the reports in Writer.
With Writer and JAVA working, click File, AutoPilot. Just like in the mail merge for the letter, you'll need to select a database to use. For my story I selected my Mozilla addresses as the database source and personal address book for the table. After, that you just need to go through the report wizard and fill out your selections for field labels, grouping, field sorting and layout theme. If your database changes periodically, you can also choose to generate your report dynamically. In other words, whenever you print a new report, it will reflect the most current data in the database.
When you're all finished with your selections select Create and your data will be nicely formatted into neat columns with labels and everything. You can then edit or print the report.
Letters, envelopes and reports are cool, but you might need some advertising to help your business get going. Why not do a neat little tri-fold brochure?

G5 Sponsorships is offering companies the opportunity to drive brand awareness on the nation's highways.
Talk about taking something literally: G5 Sponsorships is offering companies the opportunity to drive brand awareness on the nation's highways. It's selling integrated media campaigns that begin on highway signs, but also include placement on 511 traffic information websites, mobile apps, and live traffic camera feeds.
As the company's promotional materials say, "Drivers cannot 'change the channel' to avoid 511 roadside signage with a sponsor logo." OK, it's also an initiative ripe for punnage: Global 5's media kit says, "These programs allow you to breakthrough to consumers as they brake through their commute."
G5 Sponsorships is a branch of Global-5 Communications, a national transportation communications company that works with state Depts. of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and other transportation entities.
"We can create custom packages based on the assets that each state DOT has authorized for sponsorship. In addition to the roadside signage, DOTs have 511 phone systems, websites, mobile apps, email alerts, and, in some states, rest areas, welcome centers, and safety service patrols," says Eric Strauss, G5 Sponsorships' director of sponsorships.
A March 2012 order by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration acknowledged that cash-strapped states need to go beyond asking companies to "adopt a highway" by paying for litter removal. The order mostly details sponsorship messages on the physical signs placed along the road.
But G5 - along with other vendors - is also selling digital placements on states' 511 systems. In 1999, the Federal Communications Commission designated 511 as the nationwide telephone number for traveler information. But the FCC ruling left implementation to state and local agencies, as well as telecoms. There are no requirements - and neither is there a way to pay for the service.
In other words, it's ripe for sponsorship.
Some states have 511.org websites, mobile sites, mobile apps, and personalized email alerts, as well as telephone access. G5 works directly with the states' developers to design the advertising inventory for these media. It will also act as the intermediary between advertisers and states, not only selling ads but also trafficking the creative.
The sponsorship message could even make its way onto TV, Strauss says. Many TV news stations use live feeds from traffic cameras maintained by Depts. of Transportation. As part of their agreement to use the feeds, TV stations would be required to include an attribution banner that credits the DOT - and the sponsor logo would also be included in the banner. "This wouldn't prohibit TV stations from selling their own advertising," he notes. "It just means they have to show that DOT attribution banner."
So far, G5 is working with the states of Virginia and West Virginia, although Strauss says the company is in talks with others. He can't mention advertisers yet, either. Campaigns will range from tens of thousands of dollars to millions for broader and longer-term deals.
He says the ad scheme hasn't been the subject of consumer protest over advertising clutter. According to Strauss, "One of the key points of this is that every dollar that comes into sponsorship gets put back into these programs. When sponsors foot the bill, it eases the burden on taxpayers."

National parks follow the general gun laws of the state. National park carry is not tied to state park carry. Totally different issues. The confusion is that this law took two tries to come about. That was a provision of the first try, not the second.
FWIW, a lot of trail heads in the Smokies have no firearms signs. They have not bothered to change them. Since they are wrong, I ignore them. Also, I believe a federal sign has to list the US code it is enforcing to be legal. I'm not 100% sure on that. But every no guns sign I have come across on buildings in the parks looks like this.

A senior aide to Mitt Romney has played the race card for the first time in the presidential campaign as new polling reveals that it is the most racially polarized election in more than two decades.
John Sununu, a former White House chief of staff, suggested in an interview on Thursday that the former secretary of state Colin Powell, a member of the Republican Party had endorsed President Obama because he was a fellow African American.
Powell, who broke with his party to vote for Obama over the Republican candidate, John McCain, in 2008, ignited a new firestorm among Republicans for endorsing Obama and criticizing Romney's foreign policy flip-flops.
Sununu said, "When you take a look at Colin Powell, you have to see if his endorsement is based on issues or he's got a slightly different reason for endorsing President Obama. I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the US, I applaud Colin for standing with him."
Sununu has put into the public domain the issue that Obama has rarely mentioned during his first term. But many in Washington have long suspected that the Republican Party's opposition to Obama stem from the fact that he is black.

]]>Not quite, of course. The material du jour for the cycling industry, carbon fiber, is without a doubt, a wonder material. Crazy light, mega strong (mostly), and infinitely flexible, assuming proper engineering. Come on, the shapes! Good God, the shapes! You can mold the stuff like play-doh. Super cool.
And now for the trade-offs…you had to see that coming. The material itself is crazy expensive. Like crazy. But that's not the whole reason those carbon wonders so expensive. All those aforementioned crazy shapes are created by way of molds. Every bike, in each respective size, that you can buy from one of the big boys, has it's own mold. No two alike. And they cost a mint! Each one is a capital investment…that will probably be replaced in the next model year. Ouch. If you ever have a spare couple hours, see how many different carbon bikes the biggest players have and multiply that by how many sizes of each are offered. Now multiply that number by the cost for each mold. Starts to make sense why carbon bikes can run into five figures.
That expense leads to the next drawback: lack of fit and layup options. You wouldn't bankroll the creation of an entirely new mold just for you. You could buy a dinosaur for the cost. So, you're stuck with the size that is 'close enough'. And unless you're the perfect 'average', that bike was designed around, there is a compromise. And that compromise continues even deeper than fit. Beyond the fit, that bike was designed around an average user. Somewhere between x weight and y weight, between x power and y power, between x riding style and y style. If you are any where outside that range, you're stuck with a bike that is either too stiff or too flexy, too aggressive or too relaxed. All that radness is starting to feel less rad.
Here's the real kicker though: carbon is crazy strong…until it's not. Anyone that's ever crashed a carbon bike can attest to heartbreak of carbonbreak. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to snap a carbon frame. It doesn't take a crash at 45mph to do it, tipping over will take care of it as well. Now, you get to spend more money to fix the frame, or maybe you don't, because it's so far gone that there is nothing to be done. Super bummed. And how does steel do any better?
Issue #1: Weight
Those intervening 3000 years since the Iron Age have produced some of the most advanced metal alloys around. Crazy light. Not carbon light, but…it probably won't snap when you crash. While some budget steel bikes are doing their part to keep up the myth of the heavy steel bike, those of us using the best that the likes of True Temper and Columbus can come up with are trying to chip away daily at that bad rap. Weight is one of the first issues that we're asked about when someone approaches us for a bike. But weight is only where the benefits of modern steel start.
Issue #2: Ride Tuning
Between our main tubing suppliers, we have access to hundreds of different tubes, in every thickness and profile we could ever want. We can build bikes strong enough to land a 10 foot drop to flat, and light enough to be UCI illegal (not the same bike obviously!). The latitude that we have in our designs is perhaps the biggest reason that steel is our material of choice. If you're a 110lb flyweight, we can give you a bike that actually pops underneath your pedals and doesn't just jackhammer you the whole ride. If you're a 350lb power plant, we can build you the stoutest damn bike you've ever pedaled. More than aluminum, more than Ti, we've got options in steel. Pop can thin to steel girder thick, its all there to make a bike that sings. Only carbon comes close to the ride tuning potential of steel, but then we're right back to that old chestnut of cost.
Issue #3: Fit
Fit. It's the reason that the vast majority of our riders come to us in the first place. It is far and away the biggest component to the enjoyment of any bike, but especially a custom bike. It's that feeling of everything being exactly where your body thinks it should be. Clearly, if you're here in the first place, reading this, we don't need to tell you that a custom bike will fit you better than a stock bike, but it is probably worth repeating: a custom bike will fit you better than a stock bike. That stack of spacers and upturned stem? Yeah, we can fix that. That saddle that is jacked all the way forward and still sits too far back? Forget about it. You shouldn't let a bike dictate the way your body feels on it. The bike should meet your body exactly where it's supposed to.
All this to say, we like steel. Maybe one day we'll try some other materials, because who are we kidding? We're just a bunch of nerds that like bikes and building cool shit with our own two (or multiple thereof) hands. But, steel is always going to have that lovely balance of resilience, adaptability, and economy. That, in a bit more than a few words, is why we work with steel and why we think its about as awesome as it gets with regards to bicycles. If you'd like to get real into the geekery of it, just give us a call or shoot us an email. We could blather on for days about it…
]]>By now some of you may have caught sight of the lovely sky blue Mudfoot CX bikes making the rounds. Now that they're all done and actually being built and ridden, we want to take you all a little deeper…
As you may or may not know Mudfoot is… A race team? A social club? A shifty band of misfits? A secret society? Not really sure, but we agreed to make them bikes again this year, despite having no more clarity about what it is they are, or do. The bikes last year were such a hit that a bunch more of the Mudfoot folks wanted to get a taste. Last year we made 5 frames. This year we trebled that count. 15 damn frames! This is the biggest single order of bikes that we've ever tackled and it definitely stretched the capabilities of the shop.
When the project started, Aaron was still in his garage and working alone, not to mention dealing with his imminently approaching wedding. It was a big ask and the move to the Goodland Lodge and hiring Mini Bear couldn't have come at a better time. Because of the size of the order, the plan was to initially offer the frames in stock sizing, but that just didn't seem to jive with the whole idea of building custom bikes.
So, the switch was made to custom geometry for every bike. Coordinating that many custom orders is tough, but it got done. As these were now fully custom bikes, the tubing had to follow suite as well. We leaned on Henry James and True Temper heavily for the tubing. We had to create frames for someone 5'4″ to well over 6′, so there was no such thing as a stock tube set for this bunch. Every frame had to be tuned differently. The frames were variously configured for cantilever or disc brakes (the majority), mechanical or Di2, single-speed and geared drivetrains. Needless to say, not a single frame was identical.
Once the frames were welded up, it was time for the fun part: paint! Once again, Geoff McFetridge did up the graphics, and once again, created unmistakable rolling pieces of art. There isn't a single surface left out; everywhere you look on the frames, there is something new. Seriously rad. This year, we opted to powder coat the frames, because those Footer folk like to bang around on bikes and we wanted something that would hold up to years of abuse. The graphics were laid on top with a process that is nearly as tough as the powder coat itself. The effect is seamless, but time consuming as hell! Enve provided the forks and stems, which were not left out of the treatment. Obviously being carbon, they had to all be sanded and liquid painted, which is a whole undertaking in itself. When you ask your painter why they charge through the nose for painting a fork (just one measly fork!), understand that it's because the prep time is stupid. Stupid. No throwing them in a blast cabinet and going to town, or chemically stripping them in a Superfund worthy bath of toxins. Nope. Just good old fashioned hand sanding.
While we're on the subject of the artwork: these are about as limited edition as they could be. That is to say: these will be the only bikes in existence that have this artwork. While everyone and their second cousin wants one of these things, they are one (or 15) of a kind. We cannot create more. Please don't ask, so we don't have to feel bad saying no. But, maybe we can commission Geoff to create us a Stinner special…
The aforementioned forks were actually the crux of the whole project though. If you have ever tried to put together a bike in the heart of cross season, you'll know that many 'cross-specific' items sell out completely, not to be replenished until well after the season is done. And this year, the disc-brake train hit cross hard. Really hard. So hard that availability on disc forks specifically was nil for much of the season. Luckily, these came through and we were able to get the project done, albeit late in the season.
Once it was all said and done, we rolled down to Golden Saddle with a car filled with more than a dozen frames and forks tucked in back. It was a beautiful conclusion to the whole project when we got to hand them over directly to the people that would be building them up. It was easily the most difficult project ever undertaken by Stinner Frameworks. Ever. Ever ever. But, with a finished product like this, how can you have any regrets? Enjoy them lady (singular) and gentlemen!
Now we've added two new looks to the wardrobe. And they look so good, that even when you're going slow, you'll feel super pro bro! Because sometimes when you look good, you feel good. And this gives all the Stinner owners that have been asking for a kit, exactly what they need to ride in even more style.
The first look has been dubbed the Jailhouse kit. Doesn't really need much explanation. This is the kit that will look good no matter what you're wearing. You can murder it out or wear white everything and look en pointe either way. Or add a dash of color. The point is: it works.
We've also got the oh-so-patriotic Barbasol kit. You don't have to be a national champ to wear it, but you can pretend that you are. US-made bikes demand red-white-and blue something. And sometimes more is better. So, this is the kit to scratch that itch. Mini-bear will be rocking these kits exclusively. Because he's over the top.
Both are lovingly designed by our man Sean T. over at Team Dream Bicycling Team. And he turned 'em out right; these things are perfect! Now when we roll, we roll looking damn good. And what's more? All of it: caps, bibs, and jerseys, are all made right here in Southern California by Endo Customs and Pace Sportswear . The fit and finish are everything you'd expect from the best clothing companies in the world, but it's all made a couple hours from our shop!
Head over to the shop to pick up the whole kit, or maybe just a cap. This is a PRE-ORDER item. The pre-order closes January 9th! Orders will be shipped in mid-February.

It is the worst. So god-awful steep that for any given cyclist in the area, they usually venture up only once a year. Seriously. For all the views and 'epic-ness' it is so damn hard, you don't get to even pick your head up from staring straight at you poor legs that are turning over at single digit RPM's.
It is a wonderful analogy for the paint process in the custom bike business. The beauty of a perfectly finished bike is transcendent; the best ones summon the collective history of our sport and where it is going. In one glance, they can turn the most apathetic cycling curmudgeon into a 12 year old kid daydreaming about owning that one perfect bike. In reality, the process of getting a bare frame to a gleaming bicycle icon is rarely easy. In fact, it's rarely hard. More often than not, it is beyond difficult.
We have been doing the paint dance for long enough that we've gotten pretty good at it. We are fortunate enough to work with some very talented, and more importantly organized, individuals and organizations that make it far easier to get gorgeous bikes under people in less time. And over the next few months we're going to be rolling out some new finishing options to let people get exactly what they want in less time and with less fuss. We'll trickle some teasers out on select media and sooner than later roll out some rad new stuff that we think everyone will be very excited about. Stay tuned!

]]>The whole night, everyone was buzzing about the frames and bikes that we had on display. But, the star of the show was undoubtedly a little gem that you may have caught on our Instagram feed; a gorgeous little cyclocross frame with tubing supplied by Henry James and paint by Jordan Low. We were incredibly lucky: Jordan finished the paint and had it sent out to Chris Merrill, the main man at Henry James, the day before the opening. We didn't even know what the frame would look like until it came through the door the day of the opening!
Every turn of the frame brought a new detail to light; nothing was too small to be left out of the special treatment. To say that Jordan is a talented painter is an understatement and we couldn't be happier that he took the project on. Keep your eyes peeled for more collaborations with Jordan in the future…

]]>Alright everyone! It's time to come help us break in the Goodland Lodge! We've spent the last couple months settling in and getting the place dialed and now we want to have our friends over. There will be eye candy to behold from us as well as our neighbor Jones Precision Wheels, and the whole shop will be open so you can see what we do every day. So drop by and stay a little while, enjoy some amazing beer courtesy of Telegraph Brewing Company and pizza by our friends at Forno Classico. It's guaranteed to be good times for all!
]]>It's a bummer to have to wait nearly a year for a bike. Not only that, but a year is a lot of time in the bike world. The frame that someone wants may change over the course of twelve months. When they placed their deposit, they were road racing all the time. Well, now their riding buddies are all getting into trail riding and they want a mountain bike to join in. Oh, but cross season is coming up! A cross frame would be really great… What that means for the customer is that they are sitting there without a beautiful bicycle under them, and it means that we just designed 3 different bikes instead of one. Nobody is winning.
By moving into a better workspace and having two sets of hands working instead of one, we've been able to bring our lead times down dramatically. Instead of 9-12 months, we're working towards getting frames out the door in 8-12 weeks. Aaron can now give himself cramps and backaches by being at the welding bench all day long. And it means that riders get their bikes faster than ever before.
At the same time, we are also changing the way that we price our bikes. Beginning on December 1st of this year our pricing will be going up. What is currently a base frame price is now becoming a frameset with colormatched frame and fork. We're also wrapping some of the most popular upgrades into the base cost. This lets us design the most cohesive, best riding bike possible. If you do the math, our frame prices are only going up slightly, but the point is to allow our customers to think less about the arithmetic and more about where they want to go on their first ride!
Our basic road and cyclocross framesets, with caliper or cantilever brakes, will come standard with a tapered 44mm or classic 1 ⅛" headtube, and pressfit or threaded bottom bracket. The base price for this frameset option will be $2299. Of course everything is custom, we just want to make life easier for everyone who is asking for the most common upgrades.
In keeping with the times, our disc road and cyclocross framesets will come standard with tapered or 1 ⅛" headtubes, pressfit or threaded bottom brackets, and thru-axle or quick release frame and fork. The base price for this frameset option will be $2599. Now you can choose what suits your riding rather than what suits your budget.
Finally our mountain frames will still be frames for obvious reason. Again, the base price will incorporate tapered or straight headtubes, pressfit or threaded bottom brackets, and thru-axle or quick release dropouts. Pricing will start at $1799.
So, talk to us. For the next month you get the best of everything: our current pricing and you'll have a bike before you know it!

]]>Enter: Chris Ellefson aka Mini Bear. He's the only other guy in the photo up top. With the same passion and drive as Aaron in an almost foot shorter package, Chris packs a serious cycling nerd punch. Ounce for ounce, he'll out geek anyone when it comes to cycling. Seriously. With this addition, Stinner FW has the makings of a regular cycling dream team. To celebrate his first week at the shop, we went out and did it right by turning what was supposed to be a hangover cruise into a 100-miler. Then some beer and a beach.
Most importantly M. Bear has doubled the workforce here at the shop. What this means for our customers is the best customer service around. While Aaron slaves away behind a welding helmet, Chris takes care of everything else. When you call the shop, you'll most likely hear his voice. When you send an email, he's getting back to you asap. If you get a complete bike from us, it's his seasoned hands putting it together. It's all in his title: customer concierge.
The extra manpower is also letting us put energy into some fun projects that you'll see roll out over the next couple months. Keep your eyes peeled.

]]>Most importantly: we moved into an amazing new shop space! We're talking a big step up. Our space has nearly tripled and we've got a great work space, shared with an awesome neighbor, and a showroom and fit space to boot. All done up in a perfectly off-the-mark 1970's California lodge feel. And the locale is right in the heart of Goleta, also known as the Goodland. We're still settling into the space, so we're not putting out the glamour shots yet, but keep an eye out for a big party announcement shortly…
The change is also allowing Stinner FW do some pretty rad stuff in the very near future. Some of the moves we're keeping close to the vest for now, so watch the blog for those. Or you might sneak a few hints on the ol' social interwebs before we roll them out for reals.
In the meantime, come on down to the Goodland Lodge! Roll in to say hi, hang out, eat lunch, watch tv, come on a ride, take a nap, creep around, whatever. We'll be here!

How Will Goldman Sachs (GS) Stock React To This $1.2 Billion Federal Housing Settlement?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Goldman Sachs (GS - Get Report) has reached a $1.2 billion settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency in order to resolve a U.S. regulator's allegation that the bank sold Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae faulty mortgage bonds, Reuters reported.
Under the terms of the agreement, Goldman has agreed to repurchase mortgage-backed securities from the two financial companies for $3.15 billion.
The $1.2 billion is the amount the company will pay, without the estimated current value of the securities being repurchased from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Reuters added.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
- GS's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.4%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC has improved earnings per share by 10.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC increased its bottom line by earning $15.47 versus $14.15 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($16.81 versus $15.47).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Capital Markets industry average. The net income increased by 5.5% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $1,931.00 million to $2,037.00 million.
- The stock price has risen over the past year, but, despite its earnings growth and some other positive factors, it has underperformed the S&P 500 so far. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

Human Resources Coordinator Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Ingersoll Rand in April 2011.
First I had a phone interview with the HR Hiring Manager, a week later I had a phone interview with me would-be boss a week later they invited me to their Assessment Center (which consisted in an entire day at the HQ in Brussels, doing a problem simulation, then I had a case that I needed to solve and present in 4 hours, and finally another 1:1 interview with my would-be boss).
Several managers were there for the presentations and interviews, they said they used to give an entire day for the case (to present early in the morning) but this time due to lack of time it was all done in one day, other than that it was not very hard but interpersonal skills were definitely what they were looking for.
- Simulation. Given a totally random "job position" and a problem to solve sitting with other colleagues (also with random job positions). We were given annual expenses, annual savings and expected savings. View Answer

The residents and businesses of Prairie du Chien can collectively sigh in relief now that the one-mile, six month, multi-million dollar Marquette Road infrastructure project was completed Monday, Nov. 17. More than 60 signs, barricades, drums and other orange construction materials were cleared from the highway, detour route and adjacent streets on Monday, as the city's main thoroughfare officially reopened to the public, introducing the series of three roundabouts to drivers for the first time.
"The big thing that sticks out in my mind is that [the contractor, H. James and Sons] said they were going to be done Nov. 16, and the road was open Nov. 17. That's nearly unheard of for a project of this magnitude," City Administrator Aaron Kramer said.
Following Monday's ribbon cutting, several officials expressed the communal sense that the local business owners are certainly the unsung heroes of the project.
The Salvation Army in Prairie du Chien participates in the annual red kettle campaign in order to continue providing its social services to citizens in need. The organization also helps distribute Christmas presents to families who cannot afford to purchase their own. Hats, mittens, coats and boots as well as toys are on the list of presents given. Jen Kapinus coordinates the Salvation Army's local efforts through her office at the United Methodist Church in Prairie du Chien. (Photo by Correne Martin)
If you've ever slipped a dollar bill into a red kettle around the holidays and wondered how your donation was used, rest assured that 90 percent of the money raised each year in Prairie du Chien assists local people in need of emergency lodging, rent, utilities, gas, groceries, hygiene supplies, meals, prescriptions, clothing and more. The other 10 percent helps those passing through with similar needs.
In 2013, $14,000 was raised strictly through the Salvation Army's local kettle campaign at the bell ringing stations of Zinkle's Piggly Wiggly and Walmart in Prairie du Chien, at kettles around the city and through mailed donations. Since 2002, the campaign has raised around $100,000, and every dollar has been spent locally to help individuals and families in need.
Each year, the red kettle campaign occurs the last 10 days of November through Christmas Eve. This year's bell ringers will start Friday, Nov. 21.
A friendly reminder
to be safe over the holidays
By Ted Pennekamp
With the holidays coming up soon, the good folks at Villa Succes of Prairie du Chien wish to remind everyone to enjoy themselves with friends and family but to also please drink responsibly if imbibing.
Early Sunday morning, Nov. 16, officers from the Prairie du Chien Police Department responded to the area of South 16th Street in the city for a report that a citizen left their home to leave for work and found unwelcomed guests inside their vehicle attempting to remove property from inside. Officers searched the area and found that approximately 20 houses, garages and vehicles were entered or attempted to be entered by the same suspect.
No suspect was located during the search, but an item of clothing believed to belong to the suspect was recovered.
The police department wants to remind citizens to lock vehicles, garages and home doors. Make sure exterior motion lights are working or consider installing some if your property doesn't currently have them. Most of all, report all suspicious people immediately to the police department. These cases are difficult to solve without the assistance of the public.
A 37-year-old Prairie du Chien woman has been charged in Crawford County Circuit Court with one count of burglary to a building or dwelling and one count of forgery.
Jill Marie Schroeder faces up to 18.5 years in prison and $35,000 in fines if convicted of both counts.
According to the criminal complaint, Schroeder was questioned by police and admitted going into a Prairie du Chien man's apartment on two separate occasions and stealing a laptop computer, a Nook reader, a Garmin GPS, coins, several power cords and a check which she cashed in the victim's name. Many of the stolen items were sold at area pawn shops and the money from the check was used to buy drugs and personal items the complaint said.
Schroeder is also charged with stealing a check from another Prairie du Chien resident, forging the check in the victim's name and cashing it for $300, the complaint said.
Eight months after the closure of Faith In Action, another non-profit has stepped forward to revitalize many of its assistance programs to fill a need in the area. Though the services will be virtually the same, the program has a new name, Hands of Hope, and Catholic Charities is the organization coordinating the mainly volunteer effort.
"When Faith In Action closed, our phone started ringing," said Geri Russell, representative payee in the Prairie du Chien Catholic Charities office. "I know there was a real void in our communities."
Cleanup efforts of the fire ruins at the Blackhawk Junction site in Prairie du Chien seem to have finally begun. Most of the work up to this point has taken place inside the facility; however, reports last week said demolition is set to begin today (Monday, Nov. 17).
According to a Nov. 12 update from Justin Kompa, chief investment officer for Newmark Grubb Gialamas, a real estate company out of Madison, workers have been on site since Oct. 27 when Krantz Electric began restoring the parking lot lighting. Abatement work began as scheduled on Nov. 3.
Tom Gialamas' property manager was at the site Nov. 5 along with the maintenance manager and local technician. That day, they spoke to the workers who were doing the cleanup inside the building, including Field Supervisor Jacobo Jop, from Robinson Brothers contractors, and a project supervisor from Engineered Construction. They were assured everything was moving along on schedule.
Crawford County Fairest of the Fair Sarah Achenbach is ready to give hunger a good, swift kick in the [you know what]. Through her platform, she has the opportunity to make a difference and, after brainstorming how she could help her Crawford County neighbors, she and her family and friends are inspired to do something that can benefit families who utilize local food pantries.
Going off the notion that Crawford County is one of the poorest counties in Wisconsin, Achenbach, with assistance from her fellow Fairest and Dairy royalty, has formed the Crawford County Kicks Hunger campaign.
William "Bill" Peter Valentine, 86, former resident of Raton and Springer, N.M., Soldiers Grove, and Lubbock, Texas, passed away on Nov. 9, in Lubbock.
Bill was born in Raton, N.M. on Oct. 22, 1928 to Jack Valentine and Amelia Tomasi. Bill was a life-long dairy farmer, avid cowboy and a veteran of the Korean War. He also worked at the New Mexico Boys School in Springer; the Wyalusing Academy in Prairie du Chien; and with Pinkerton Security in Richland Center. He was a member of the Soldiers Grove American Legion Post 220. He will be missed for his kind heart, love of family, warm smile, and great sense of humor.
The public is invited to participate in a short ribbon-cutting program ceremoniously opening Marquette Road on Monday, Nov. 17, at 10 a.m. The event, which will take place in the pocket park on the southeast corner of the Marquette Road/Blackhawk Avenue intersection, is co-sponsored by the Prairie du Chien Area Chamber of Commerce and city of Prairie du Chien.
According to Chamber CEO Bob Moses, Governor Scott Walker and Wisconsin DOT Secretary Mark Gottlieb have been formally invited to the ceremony. Also, Senator Jennifer Shilling and Representative Lee Nerison have also been invited. Citizens and area business owners are encouraged to attend.

The Great Penguin Rescue: 40,000 Penguins, a Devasting Oil Spill, and the Inspiring Story of the World's Largest Animal Rescue : On June 23, 2000 the iron-ore carrier MV Treasure foundered off the coast of South Africa, spilling 1,300 tons of oil and contaminating the habitat of 75,000 penguins. Local conservation officials launched a massive rescue operation, and 12,500 volunteers rushed to South Africa. Penguin expert deNapoli chronicles the landmark animal rescue operation undertaken when 41 percent of the world's population of African penguins was imperiled by a staggering oil spill. A rehabilitation supervisor during the initial phase of the three-month operation, deNapoli - better known as "The Penguin Lady" - and fellow volunteers de-oiled, nursed back to health, and released into the wild nearly all of the affected birds. This is the extraordinary story of the world's largest, most successful live animal rescue to date. DeNapoli offers a riveting, heartwarming portrait of these captivating birds, a cautionary tale about the environment, and an inspirational chronicle of how following one's passions can lead to unexpected, rewarding adventures. The Great Penguin Rescue illustrates how people from around the world can unite for a greater purpose.

Milan have Adebayor alternative
27 Jun 2009 - 12:35:56
The possibility of Emmanuel Adebayor leaving Arsenal and moving to AC Milan this summer seems more likely after Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani confirmed he was interested in signing the striker.
Milan remain keen to sign Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko but will turn their attention towards the Togo international if they are unable to land their first-choice target.
Galliani was quoted as saying: "Adebayor is the alternative to Edin Dzeko and I have called Arsenal to inform them of our interest.
"I spoke to Arsene Wenger and Adebayor was part of the conversation."
Earlier in the week the player's agent was unsure what the future held for his client.
Stephane Courbis insisted: "I don't know whether Ade is for sale. I spoke with Arsene Wenger on Tuesday morning, but he didn't say anything to that effect.
"I haven't even spoken about the alleged interest of Chelsea and Manchester United.
"The player would like to work with Carlo Ancelotti. It's a fact because Milan tried to acquire him last year, but Chelsea have not contacted us."

Seasoning and chilling the meat uncovered will help form a crust, encouraging a beautiful deep, golden brown color while cooking.
Southern Living FEBRUARY 2014
1. Combine first 10 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub over pork. Chill, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
2. Let pork stand at room temperature 30 minutes. (Bringing it to room temperature will help it cook faster and more evenly.)
3. Preheat oven to 400°. Cook pork in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Lightly grease a wire rack with cooking spray. Place pork on rack in a roasting pan.
4. Bake at 400° for 35 to 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 135°. Remove from oven, and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Creepy video of a robotic doll singing some song? Griffin posted it before.
I remember it being Griffin, anyway...
Haha pretty cool
No... it wasn't Aphex Twin. All I can remember from the song was that robotic voice singing, "Hey hey hey!" And I don't remember if it was a separate thread or what, but Griffin said, "I hope you weren't planning on sleeping tonight." Searched for that text string (or bits and pieces of it) to no avail. :dunno:

Online scam targets renters in St. Croix County
Employees of WESTconsin Realty alerted local newspapers to a scam that plucks home-sale ads from the free site, www.craigslist.org, and presents them as a (fake) rental.
River Falls resident Dalene Crandall works for WESTconsin in Hudson. Her associate, Mike Giese, works for the company in New Richmond.
He learned about the bogus listing after a woman responded to the scammer's ad for a three-bedroom home for rent in New Richmond.

@ddljohn-- Have you ever had cannolis? I think if you like eclairs, you will also like cannolis. They're also very good.
My favorite Italian dessert is profiterole. It's a thick and rich dark chocolate souffle with a few cream puffs hidden inside. For those who love chocolate, this is the ultimate Italian dessert. If I'm having a bad day, a cup of profiterole is enough to lift my spirits. I think of it as an antidepressant!
I've tried desserts from various European countries. After French desserts, Italian desserts are the best. Italians make use of all my favorite desserts. There is a lot of pastry, a lot of cream and a lot of chocolate involved.

This is a great year to start hunting grouse
Ever hunted ruffed grouse?
If not, this is the year to start.
The tasty, fast-flying forest game bird is at high population levels. This means opportunities to see and harvest grouse are about as good as they get.

Border Patrol is out of control - harassing immigrants at church during mass, targeting food pantries and community centers, abusing Muslims at border crossings, and stopping people on the streets just because they "look Latino." That's not law enforcement-- that's abuse.
Michigan United and advocates across the country have documented countless human rights violations by Border Patrol and the Office of Field Operations. This isn't just a few mistakes. Abuse and misconduct are normal operating procedure.
Michigan United has launched a major campaign to force Border Patrol to play by the rules, but it's not going to be easy.
Can you support our work with a $50, $100, or $200 contribution?
Your support now will help us work aggressively here in Michigan and coordinate with our allies all across the country. Your contribution will go directly to on-the-ground organizing-- helping to send faxes to Congress, mobilize community members, print rally signs, document abuses, and support immigrant families in crisis.
