Came in to post CO2 cartridges, sees OP does not like them, back out of thread slowly....
I'm prepping for the NY Century ride on Sept. 9th.
I've done a few century's over the past few years and I've always ridden with 1 water bottle (filled with an energy drink) and a camelback-style backpack filled with extra tubes, tool, food, a small pump (and water, of course).
I'm thinking of losing the backpack.. adding an extra water bottle on the frame.. and adding a small saddle-bag to hold an extra tube, tool and maybe a powerbar or gel or something.
I don't need to carry too much food as there are rest stops on this ride, but I'm wondering...
For longer rides.. what kind of pump (if any) do you use??
I've used Co2 cartridges in the past but I'm not a fan.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Came in to post CO2 cartridges, sees OP does not like them, back out of thread slowly....
the Lezyne hand pump is pretty great. I personally hate hand pumps and almost always use co2 but a friend has one I've had to use a couple of times. It's the only one I'd buy for myself.
I have a Lezyne pump that is always in my Camelbak for mtn bike rides or mounted to the frame of my road bike. I like it since it has a hose to attach to the valve making inflation a little easier.
Most definitely lose the backback.
Put two tubes and gels inside the small saddle bag, stuff a small pump and bananas in your pocket and carry two bottles on the frame.
As you said yourself, a 160km is not THAT long, plus you're going to have refuel stations along the way.
Taking on them mountains. One hill at a time.
On my Moots I have a Topeak frame pump. I've used it more times on friends bikes than I can count. It works very well. Pumps up into the 90 psi with no problem. I only wish it had a gauge on it.
But I REALLY like the Topeak Morph G I bought for the weeks I was cycling on the west coast and needed a pump that does it all. It has a flip out foot, a gauge, and a small hose so I'm not having to brace the tire with my hand at the end of the pump. It also converts fast from Presta to Schrader, a feature I needed for my vintage Nishiki and my friend's modern Trek. If I could make it look good on my Moots, I'd use it there. If you need to borrow it Matt, let me know. I'm in Montclair most weekends.

i use an old Silca frame pump that still works great, better than the mini topeak one i carry in my bag for commuting (which works well). it can only be used on a traditional steel frame though with the way the mounts are built. if you have a crazy carbon monocoque frame i'm not sure a frame pump will fit anywhere
Wow! Thanks everyone for all the advice!!
(Hi Scott! Nice MOOTS!! )
The small pump I have (I forget the brand) works fine... I guess I can use the velcro straps it came with and mount it to my bike for the day. I'll be picking up a saddle bag (and some new compact bars) on Saturday. I may check to see if my LBS has a smaller pump that I can stuff in a jersey back-pocket.
Thanks again for all the feedback guys! Totally helpful!

lezyne road drive is a good hand pump.... the aluminum version is a good value
however, bigger fan of more puncture resistant tires. sometimes they don't roll as fast... but beats changing a puncture flat...
ride to Montauk is a ride notorious for puncture flats.... bontrager race all weather hardcase served me well in that ride in my old wheelset. now running conti grand Prix 4 seasons
2008 Passat wagon, 2.0T 6MT with mods
Other Rides:
- 2013 Cannondale CAADX-6
- 2010 Specialized Secteur Elite
- 2009 Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29-er
Just bought a Blackburn Airstik SL. There's no flexible tube, but it's TINY, and weighs about as much as a recently-licked postage stamp. -Fits Presta only, but all my bikes are presta. -Feels VERY well made, will assess it's pumping ability this weekend.
stuff tubes, food, tools, and pump in your jersey pockets. youll be good to go.
I use lezyne pumps as well though i do find that they arent the same quality they use to be.
Also +1 on using a puncture resistant tire like a gatorskin/conti grand Prix 4 seasons/thickslick/ect compared to a race/soft compound tire.
Mostly just echoing stuff that has already been said.
- puncture-resistant tires
- Lezyne
- rubber hose
- mount it on the frame
The one thing I want to add is that floor pumps are superior to hand pumps. Sure, they are a bit bigger (so you can't easily stuff them in a pocket), but when you actually have to use them, it's easier to get a good grip.
How difficult is it for your pumps to do 120 psi? My old Blackburn MDS-2 supposedly can do 160 psi, but I struggle to get in 50 psi. I shudder to think what it'd be like to do 120 psi, let alone when it's below freezing. If I can find a pump that won't kill me to get to 120 psi, I'm interested, but right now I'm looking at combo pump/cartridge solutions. I figure I'll pump to 50 psi, and then screw on a CO2 cartridge to get me the rest of the way. If I have more flats, then I limp home with a spongy 50 psi tire.
The pump I like most is the Innovations Second Wind Road Carbon Mini.
Just a quick follow-up...
I wound up using a cheapo Schwinn mini-pump that I had laying around in my garage. Frame mounted exactly the same way that Impact shows above. I also carried an extra tube and a multi-tool (along with some cash, ID and my cell phone) in my seat bag.
I figured that, even with the cheapo pump, I'd still be able to replace the tube and get enough air in there to at least get to a gas station, bike shop on the route, or a rest stop where they had regular floor-pumps.
The pump stayed in place perfectly for the entire ride (I didn't even notice it at all)... and luckily I didn't get any flats!! That's a first for me!!
I wound up riding a total of ~106 miles. Had a total blast!!
Thanks for all of your feedback on this. It was definitely helpful!!
- Matty
This post just reminded me of an issue I keep having: A frame pump that will fit a small frame rider... 48cm?

No. Someone else is writing the story. Other than the obvious answer, Patrick Rothfuss, there's a narrator with pov for Chronicler, Bast, and Kvothe; separately. In some ways, it's a story about Chronicler gathering the Kingkiller Chronicle. There's also a roving eye narrator capable of observing the townspeople if not their inner lives in the absence of the three primary characters. In that way it's a story about an Inn in the middle of Newarre.

'Cause it'd be disappointing? And 'cause conjecture starts to spin out of control when we posit particular lies. Kvothe is allegedly powerful dangerous guy who might know he's lying. So you'd have to posit he knows Kvothe's depowered. So why would he be afraid of him? Etcetera...
We know he allowed himself to be robbed. We know he hurt Bast but failed to bind him, and came close to being killed for it. We know he allowed the shamble man to touch him. I dunno. Surely he can be lying, just seems unlikely is all.

Tokyo Guide: Tsukiji Tuna Auction | When is Tsukiji Open? | Behavior | Tsukiji Video | Access Tokyo Area Guide: Tsukiji 築地
Tsukiji Fish Market is the sushi mecca for visitors to Tokyo. Located about 1.5km south of Tokyo Station, Tsukiji is the most famous of the twelve locations operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market and is a venerable institution dating from 1935. While actually not exclusively a fish market (Tsukiji also deals in fruit, vegetables and meat) it is most famous for its fish. SeafoodTsukiji is the largest fish market in the world and an estimated 17% of the world's total fish catch passes through its gates. The frantic action begins around 5am and is winding down by mid morning. The market, where the famous early morning (5.30-6.00am) fish auction takes place, is 300m south-west of the Tsukiji 6-chome intersection on Harumi-dori avenue. Namiyoke Inari Jinja ShrineLook for the Namiyoke Inari Jinja Shrine, a Shinto shrine built in 1659 to protect workers from rough seas during the reclamation project that created the Tsukiji area. The Shrine is at the entrance to the market. The streets teem with small trucks and especially turret trucks rapidly carrying produce to and fro - requiring visitors to be very watchful. Tsukiji tuna auction
The tuna auction, which starts at 5.30am, is the main attraction for curious onlookers. The auction area can be watched - and, more to the point, listened to - from the sidelines. It is a seeming cacophony of shouts and cries, amidst which men with picks bend over huge frozen tuna inspecting them for their quality. (See video below.) No flash photography! Tsukiji open daysTsukiji Market itself is not open every day. A list of holidays is available on the Tsukiji Market website (click on the 'Tsukiji Market Calendar' - the dates marked in red are no go) and an English guidesheet and map are also available at the market's information booth. Tsukiji wholesaleAdjacent to the auction area is a building full of tiny wholesale stores - more like booths - selling the freshest marine produce. Tsukiji retailThe retail side of Tsukiji on the outskirts of the market extends to the block on the other side of Harumi-dori which is also full of restaurants and stores where you can sample some of the freshest sushi available anywhere in Japan, buy produce in retail quantities, purchase culinary implements, especially knives, and get souvenirs of the market, too. However, whether the market is open or not, Tsukiji is always buzzing with energy. The crazy maze of street stalls and restaurants is anxious to feed you its freshest and finest. Opening hours are typically from 5am to noon or mid-afternoon. Behavior at Tsukiji Tuna AuctionThe demeanor of visitors is a perennial problem. Access has been considerably restricted because of friction between tourists and those working at Tsukiji. Please observe the following rules:
Tsukiji Honganji TempleThe impressive Indian-style Tsukiji Honganji Temple across the road from Tsukiji subway station is also worth a look for its pre-war antiqueness, its vast incense-laden, cathedral-like interior and carved golden altar. You are more than likely to see a ceremony taking place before the grand altar if you stop in.

Now, I have to say, I am wildly impressed with Red Leaf Tea. With the sheer amount of matcha I've been getting through this promotion, I was starting to feel like I was taking advantage of their goodwill and resolved to hang up my reviewing hat, saying that I had tried all the flavors I wanted to try. Imagine my pleased surprise when I mentioned this in a review and they responded to let me know they were releasing new flavors soon and encouraging me to keep trying new ones and keep reviewing! I know they read all reviews posted and I've received wonderfully kind responses to my reviews and emails to them. Their customer service is stellar and it makes it so that I want to recommend their teas to everyone I meet (and I do!). And while yes, I have gotten a ton of matcha through this promotion, I've also gained an adoration of matcha that will keep me coming to them long after I really do stop reviewing their product. But by now they know me, and they know my reviews and they're just wonderfully kind to me. When I received my package yesterday, I found a little matcha spoon included with my order! I don't know if it's a promotion I just didn't see, or if it was for me specially, but it certainly made my day!
I don't know an awful lot about English toffee, but what I do know, I like. I got this one to try with my wife, in an effort to get her to like matcha. We'll see how it goes!
When I opened the package, (found here:http://www.redleaftea.com/matcha-tea/english-toffee-matcha.html) it smelled a lot like the Caramel Matcha from Red Leaf Tea, which is very promising. I love their Caramel matcha. Brewed up, it still smelled like caramel, but with a hint of chocolate. And that's exactly what it tastes like, caramel mixed together with tasty, tasty chocolate. I'm not a huge chocolate fan, but this is very, very good. Very sweet too, but not overwhelmingly so. But then again, I like my teas sweet. But when I see pictures of English Toffee, this is what I think it would taste like, so yay! I love that it even tastes like that crunchy caramel….mmm. This would be a very good starter matcha for those who like sweet things, English Toffee especially. I might even win my wife over with this one!

I designed this skirt for a blog review on the Mom-a-Logues blog. I love making things out of pieces of my favorite colorful prints. We have a lot of quilters in our family, and I think this skirt reflects that. I added the owl lovey that I designed, in the pocket. I think it is a fun addition for the child who wears the skirt. (My girls love the owls and always ask me to make more for them, even though they have several.) First, I serged the pieces together, then topstitched along the seam. The waist is elasticized and I added some tulle to the hem to make twirling even more fancy and fun.

Olympian Mal Page is chasing history as Australia's first ever dual sailing gold medallist, and it's making him sick. Literally.
While the Sydney sailor and multiple world champion has ruled the waves for almost a decade, just the thought of leaving land can make him queasy.
The sailor's curse of sea sicknesses is the bane of Page's life but he believes he has the rest of the tools needed for he and skipper Mat Belcher to claim gold off the waters of Weymouth next week - thanks to years of practice, training, sacrifice and a very special hug and kiss from his 92-year-old nana.
"I have a good luck charm in my nana," revealed Page, who with his old skipper Nathan Wilmot won gold at the Beijing Olympcis.
"As a child she always came to watch me sail and I always did better when she was there.
"She's now 92 and still going strong but she wasn't able to travel to London. So she gave me a special kiss and hug before I left."
Fueled by a breakfast of vegemite toast to keep his stomach steady, Page and his skipper are hoping to covert their two world titles as a team into gold in Weymouth by the end of their 11-race regatta.
The have started their quest well with the duo already within sight of the lead after their first four races.
If they achieve the feat, Page will be the first Australian sailor in history to win two Olympic golds.
Strangley, numerous top-level sailors suffer from seasickness with former two-time Olympian Chris Nicholson so severly affected by the malady he could be sick on the relatively gentle waters of Sydney Harbour.
Others sailors, generally from colder countries, cannot swim with life jackets protecting them form drowning if they capsize.
Australia's 15-strong team is limbering up to be the best performing sport at the Games with Belcher and Page now in the lead, as is five-time world champion Laser sailor Tom Slingsby.
Slingsby suffered two bad results on Wednesday and relinquished his overall lead to flying Cypriot, Pavlos Kontides.
The Laser fleet had a rest day on Thursday, which Slingsby says may have taken the wind out of Kontides' sails.
It certainly allowed the Australian to regroup and it was he who came out flying yesterday.
Two penalties condemned him to 15th in the first race.
But he secured a brilliant victory in race two - and grabbed a five-point overall lead with just three races left.
More importantly, from an Australian point of view, is that Slingsby appears to have recovered his speed and confidence.
"After the first race I sort of had that sinking feeling that everything's not going right this regatta," Slingsby said.
"I just wasn't sailing that well and my confidence was down.
"But I really just tried to reset my mind.
"For me it was a personal victory, I felt like I broke the trend a bit.
"I felt I was getting a lot of poor results but I feel really confident now heading into tomorrow."
World champion 49er skiff crew of Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen remain on track for a gold medal.
They finished yesterday's races in ninth, fifth and fourth respectively and have a nine-point overall lead.
Women's 470 sailors Elise Rechichi and Belinda Stowell opened their Olympic campaign by finishing 14th and eighth in their races.
And Finn sailor Brendan Casey finished his campaign 13th overall after failing to qualify for Sunday's medal race.

5 Things You Need to Know Today: Dec. 12
There's a new sports bar opening in Marlborough and we are wondering what people think about it in today's 5 Things.
Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations.
1. It's time again to celebrate the annual Girl Scout cookie sale. Our Girl Scout entrepreneurs will be out and about in uniform selling your favorite cookies. Choose from eight tasty varieties that include: Thin Mints and Caramel DeLites to Peanut Butter Patties and Thanks-A-Lots. The annual sale kicked off Dec. 9 and will culminate on March 9. Girl Scout cookies are $4 a box. To find out where to buy cookies in and near Marlborough click on the "cookie locator" and enter 01752 as the zip code.
2. State Senator Jamie Eldridge will lead a resident forum Thursday, Dec. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. to discuss the failures of National Grid and other utilities during the October snowstorm that put Marlborough largely in the dark for several days. State rep. Steven Levy will also be in attendance.
3. Has anyone noticed the new sports bar being prepared to open at the location Georgio's once operated? Tailgaters will open in the coming weeks. What do you think about this? Does Marlborough need an eatery like this? Tell us in the comments.
4. There will be a Living Nativity at the Church of the Nativity in Northborough on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 6:30 p.m. The church has many Marlborough members and the community-at-large is invited to attend.

Does Marlborough need an eatery like this (Tailgaters)? YES! Ever since Ruby Tuesday left there have been slim pickings for reasonably priced dinners out. Halfway is great but it gets old. Firefly's is overpriced. Lazy Dog? They have NO tables at regular height so bringing kids who need a high chair is out. Welly's is great, too, but from East Marlborough on Friday night at rush hour, it's a pain to get to.
Francis Fish
12:27 pm on Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Food is way over cooked. Everything was burnt. Drinks are watered down as well. Not run well. No one needs a Tailgaters, that's why the owner torched his 1st one in Clinton.

Pattern Info
Pattern info for this project can be found here:
Ribbon of Hope
Ribbon of Hope
The original pattern was shown all in pinks, but as this was a raffle quilt for our local Relay for Life, I did not want to limit the scope to women/breast cancer. An online search showed the various colors associated with many different types of cancers. That inspired the change to the overall pattern, which in effect makes the pink ribbon stand out even more! Bargello charts can be daunting ...Read full instructions »
Category: Quilting
Type of item: Home Decor
For: Charity
Style: Traditional
The selection process took a few hours! Three quilt shops were visited to get the complete color range I was searching for, not sure of any of the fabric designers.
What was your inspiration?
Just the pattern itself. This is my third donated quilt for Relay for Life, and a way that I can use my talent and passion to further research into such a deadly disease.
What are you most proud of?
How awesome it looked when I finally pinned it to my drapes for the first full-on 'look-see'. I couldn't stop smiling!!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Don't be intimidated by the graph, or the number of fabrics. Just take your time, if something doesn't work, change the color!

Per Dave Telep:
Trey Davis of Dallas Woodrow Wilson is visiting George Washington this weekend. He's a point guard.
Strengths: Davis is scoring point guard. He is comfortable using ball screens to knock down the pull-up jump shot from 17 feet all the way out to 23 feet. If Davis is given space to operate, he will make good decisions with the basketball. Davis has good ball handling skills and passing ability when he driving the basketball.
Weaknesses: Davis is an average athlete. He needs to work on his lateral quickness, so he can defend quicker point guards at the college level. His ability to score sometimes takes away from his teammates, and he needs to learn when to score and when to facilitate.
Bottom Line: His ability to score and handle the basketball makes him an intriguing prospect at the point guard position. He is going to have to learn how to run a team and not just score from the point guard position to take his game to the next level.
AAU Team Urban DFW Elite - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntmWFdMRVxI
Davis shows scoring and leadership in win
Damon Sayles TexasHoops.com Senior Writer
according to the youtube clips, given the 1/4 filled stands, he would be comfortable playing at GW
If he sings, Dan Guest is sunk.
GWCoachHobbs: Big weekend for GW Basketball. Hoping for some great weather to break. Rain needs to stop! (about 1 hour ago from Twitter for BlackBerry®)
Jon Lloyd - Part II - Hopefully with a better ending.
It would be interesting if we got him because Richmond has a guy named Trey Davis coming in as well.
It's always nice to have a guy who can just put the ball in the basket. We had too many times last year where we had multiple guys on the court who couldn't score.
Hopefully we get him
So for those inside enough to tell us after the transfer that Fitz was really like our 4th choice, where does this guy Davis fit in the pecking order?
I want Jamal Lewis
I saw Hobbs and co. at Smith and Wollensky tonight - presumably with the new recruit. TT was there as well, so that would make sense.
He wants him Jon Loyd bad.
On an official visit they can.
forgive me if i dont get too excited about another shoot first point guard. we need someone who will make his teammates better, not detract from them. just look at what joey rodriguez was able to do for vcu.
Never bad to have a pg who has dropped 52 points in a HS game. Look at his stats - he also has a lot of assists. The ESPN review was written before his senior year. He really blew up late like Jon Loyd did.
TT was a scoring PG in high school. I'd say that's worked out pretty well.
Watching the short youtube clips, I have to say his game reminds me of Kevin Anderson from Richmond. Obviously KA was one of the best point guards in the country over the last two years so it's not to say that he's at that level, just the style of play. Herky-jerkey at the top, not fast but quick aggressive moves to the basket with loopy floaters with excelent mid-air body control.
In Hobbs we trust.
looking forward to him dropping 50 in a 112-41 GW romp just like he did against a 1-15 Dallas Spruce HS team.
Bowie State anyone?
Remember that the youtube video was, I believe from his sophmore year in HS. I imagine that he continued to get a lot better.
Newtman, are you trying to win the Second Annual bobo Award for Excellence in Debbie Downerdom? Look at his other stats - he posted great numbers a majority of all of his games.
thinker, no. dont infer too much from my posts, thanks. i hope we sign him this weekend. what do you think should we sign him? should we go after Jamal Lewis? i'm the first to admit i have no inside info.
I wouldn't be surprised if we went after Lewis as well and made Trey Davis a sixth man to provide scoring off the bench. Those two plus Kromah would be a pretty explosive backcourt.
I believe that Hobbs absolutely needs and wants another pg THIS YEAR and he likes Davis a lot. He absolutely does not want to rely on TT to not get hurt or have the year disintegrate. He's had 2 years recently devastated by a single guard injury - Travis King and Lasan Kromah. He needs to have a viable option is something happened to TT for a few games or longer.
Also, freshman pg's almost always struggle a bit and Hobbs does not want to go into 2012 having to rely on a freshman to come in and be a major contributor right from the jump. He really wants to have someone already seasoned a bit before getting to 2012, and it's now not clear at all what role Dan Guest will be able to play going forward.
I don't know that much about Lewis except that he couldn't come THIS year. If they were both available I don't know who Hobbs would prefer. It's hard to recruit both of them because the obvious appeal to a player with some solid options is that he'll get significant playing time and that the school won't recruit over him. I understand that a lot of people on this board don't really get the concept of why it's so bad to recruit over players - but the players and other coaches understand the concept very well. So once Davis came here, recruiting Lewis would kind of be like a punch in the gut to Davis AND Lewis would be much less likely to want to come because he wouldn't have the same assurance of being able to count on major minutes..
I know that one of the schools listed as being interested in Lewis - Delaware - has a 3rd Team Parade All-American pg - Jarvis Threatt coming this Fall SO I think it's extremely unlikely that he'd go there either.
I see it as similar to the reason we've wanted another point guard. It seems as though Davis, like Taylor, is a prolific scorer who happens to be a good point guard. Just like we'd enjoy having another dependable point guard who could free Taylor up to score more, we could see Davis playing off the ball frequently with Lewis running the point. On its face, it does seem insulting to recruit over a player. However, I think it could be sold to Davis as making his job easier and to Lewis as still getting a lot of playing time with a great scorer in the backcourt.
CSH - No this isn't the NFL and running back by committee. This isn't Madden. While what you say is true as far as that being a good thing for GW to multiple pg's and be able to shift them around - it's almost never a positive thing as far as trying to sell that to recruits.
This post will sound negative- but I really mean it as a question, and not a negative. The last PG that GW recruited this late in the game was Dan Guest. This guy does not appear to be heavily recruited, and GW is not competing against a school like Oregon, as far as I can tell, as they were for Loyd.
I've never seen this kid play, and have no idea if he's good or not. But if DEA knew a long time ago that two GW players were transferring, I'd imagine Hobbs and co. knew as well. Why was he not being recruited sooner? Why has he not been recruited by other schools? Does Hobbs want him Loyd bad because he thinks he's good- or does Hobbs want him Loyd bad because he doesn't have a second point guard on the roster that he is confident in?
If he is more confident in Lewis the next year, is it worth the risk? I don't know the answer to any of these- and again, this post is not meant to imply anything negative- I really just don't know the answers.
Excellent questions. Not to mention, if it's a bad idea to recruit over someone why are we recruiting over Dan Guest?
If everyone wants GW basketball to get to that mystical "next level" then GW fans are probably going to have to get over the notion that recruiting over someone is a bad thing. Bring in the best players we can with enough confidence in their abilities that they will want to compete for playing time and if necessary, be willing to bide their time until those in front of them move on. A sustained program can't go into a season with only one option at each position...sometime redundancy is necessary. It's almost always going to be good to have players in the pipeline on the roster since GW can't just walk into a recruit's home, flash the Colonials logo, and get an immediate rush to sign on the dotted line for a Foggy Bottom future. Let the coaching staff figure out how to manage playing time and player expectations.
Danjs - Every situation is obviously a little different. Guest was recruited late AND was well down the list of guys they looked at. Guest was a good prospect and he may still turn into a good player for GW - unfortunately an early injury and the very unfortunate death of his mother really derailed his freshman year and has made the situation at pg more unclear.
Hobbs has been recruiting Davis for a while now - he's the player in Dallas that Hobbs has referred to. Just because his official visit to GW wasn't until this weekend doesn't mean that GW hasn't been recruiting him for a while. The visit is generally the last step in the recruitment when they try and get the player to agree to commit. There are a bunch of steps before that 1) You have to see him play maybe more than once and maybe by multiple coaches to decide if you even want the kid to begin with; 2) You have to convince the kid and his family to seriously consider GW, and of course in that point in the process you have to get the kid's transcripts and test scores because you have to determine whether the kid could get accepted to play at GW in the first place, then 3) You have to get the kid to agree come for an official visit (which often gets delayed because of the kid's school schedule at home). 4) Then you have the vist itself.
From what I understand, Davis is absolutely his first choice - just like Jon Loyd was his first choice last year. Is he as good as Loyd? Who knows - they're different players with different strengths and weaknesses. But I believe that they think he can really play AND that's he's the best option available to GW. If Lewis were willing to commit right now - maybe then they'd rather go in that direction. But it's not clear that GW can get Lewis anyway. AND Hobbs REALLY wants to add a pg THIS year. If he can't, then I imagine that Hobbs will absolutely have Lewis as his top choice for NEXT year - but that isn't his preference because he needs another pg NOW.
According to Dave Telep - of ESPN - who broke the story that Davis was visiting GW - the main competition for Davis is Florida State - I think that counts as a pretty major school and almost certainly a better team than Oregon was last year. Like a lot of players Hobbs goes after, Davis was a bit under the radar and really exploded his senior year but he's definately a really good prospect.
Recruiting over someone relates more to context than anything else. Jon Loyd was being heavily recruited by multiple teams. He was recruited by Oregon with promises that he would be the go-to guy there and play a central role. Before he even got to Oregon and played one minute Oregon had already signed a couple of much more highly rated guards for 2011.
Dan Guest was not heavily recruited and I sincerely doubt he was given much of any assurances at all by anyone about his role on the team. He had already been at GW and had difficulty adjusting here long before GW started recruiting Davis. Guest was recruited and given a chance to play, and unfortunate circumstances really hurt him. Because GW can't be confident in him going forward and for other reasons mentioned elsewhere, GW decided to get another pg - focusing on Davis. So that simply isn't what recruiting over is.
poog, i agree. top teams dont shy away from competition for a starting spot. the more competition players face in practice the better they should become. i understand thinker's view but i believe it depends on what the coach tells a recruit. Davis looks promising but i share some of danj's concerns. if we sign Davis is that recruiting over Dan Guest? i dont think so but what did KH tell Guest during the recruiting process. what if Davis doesnt produce do we not recruit Jamal Lewis because we have Davis? thinker makes a good point that it's a complex matter but i can't buy into not recruiting 'over' someone.
GW is competing with BCS schools for Davis. This is a far more comparable situation to Loyd then Guest.
Thinker is pretty much on the money on this one.
given injury bugs, the senior status of TT etc., if the kid can play (something I cannot tell from the clips except the empty stands) then sign him. I know this is going to raise a "can KH coach" respopnse, but a good coach can figure out what to do with two good pgs on the same team.
Notta, this is definately not a situation where GW is deciding whether we want Davis - We want him. It's whether Davis will choose us. Hopefully we get a committment from him before he returns home from his visit.
DEA, where have you seen that BCS schools are recruiting him? The scouting report I read showed that the bigger schools have shown interest in him, but it only showed him receiving offers from mid-majors and smaller schools. Plus the Texas rankings below show him to be ranked 34th in the state of Texas. He seems like a good player, but do you think he is at the level of heading to a BCS school?
thinker, i agree with you that this is different than the Dan Guest situation and we should sign Davis if we get the chance. he sounds like TT. happy to hear that several BCS schools are showing interest. i believe that KH has been scouting but didnt want it to go public because TJ and Chris hadn't announced they were transferring yet.
however, agree with poog about recruiting 'over' someone. GW doesn't have too many good players for too few spots i think it's the other way around.
I know that Florida State is and that's certainly a BCS school.
I think a lot of good sports programs recruit over other players. Look at college football. Schools like USC and Florida get 4 or 5 great running backs and the top one plays while the others sit it out. The schools don't even know which guy is going to step up and be the one each season. USC has had running backs who were the national college players of the year, and they end up in the 3rd string.
Basketball isn't like that as much because the rosters are so small to begin with. But Hobbs needs wins this season and who knows which guy will be the one to step up? At small forward who will be starting at the end of the season? Smith, Mikic, Ware, Davis? Maybe Hobbs doesn't know either at this point. He has to run the practices to see who will show up and help the team win some games.
LA Fan - You are right that pseudo NFL teams like USC and Florida can recruit over players and do so all of the time. VERY few teams can get away with that and GW is certainly not one of those. If you get a reputation for recruiting over players - other guys in the future won't come to play for you. Other coaches who are recruiting against you will heavily emphasize the "if you go play for Hibbs you'll get screwed - because look what he's done to these other guys."
Everyone here seem to focus on why wouldn't we want all of the best players we can get and let competition sort it out? That's fine except that's not the way it actually works for schools like GW. We can't afford to recruit over guys. It's hard enough to get one decent player at a position - the school is just not going to spin it's wheels getting a good player and then focus on replacing him. As I've stated before - that's what Georgetwon does and even they pay a price for doing it.
Thanks for the explanation thinker. If this is who GW wants, I hope GW gets him. It would be interesting to see the next years' recruits if GW gets Copes, Davis, and Davis. Do they still go after Lewis, to have two solid PG's for the next 3 years? Do they start recruiting more shooters? more wings? if this recruiting class is as good as those in the know say it is, it will be fun to watch the group develop, and see who develops under them.
Davis, Davis, Guest, Guest, Copes
If GW gets Trey Davis and there are no other departures, I believe the number one 2012 target will be a big. Someone like Donovon Jack - a very skilled big from the same HS as Donyell's son Marquis. After that the next target is likely to be a scoring wing player like Marquis. Assuming no early departures after 2011 then GW would still have one scholarship that I imagine would go to the best player available at any position.
Just a note, as I've said before I believe that no scholarship would have to be used on Marshall as coaches sons don't usually require one. I'm basing this off of the Barons in URI not using schollies.
DEA, would Marshall then have to go through the same admissions process as any other student or would he be held to the same standards as other athletes are?
Are people seroously questioning why would recruit over Dan Guest? Do the people on this board even watch us play?
If Hobbs is uncomfortable about going into next season with just one quality PG (Taylor), why would he be any less hesitent to go into the 2012-2013 season with only one PG (Davis)? If Guest doesn't work out, Hobbs will need to find another PG next season as well.
The question really is if Davis and Lewis could both play in the same backcourt together? Since they can both handle the ball, drive and shoot from distance, WHY NOT? Jones and Galloway are 2 relatively small guards that can handle the ball and score look like a promising combo for SJU. The issue with playing both at the same time is obviously lack of height. It would put great strain on the trapping 1-3-1 style Hobbs runs but if Hobbs could adapt and play mostly man D when Lewis and Lewis at the same time, GW could relly improve it'soffense.
As long as both Lewis and Davis were getting serious minutes of playing time, it's unlikely the recruit would complain too much.
A few reasons for someone to choose GW over Florida State:
GW is a unique location in Washington, D.C., where you can play in front of President Obama.
A good caliber player is guaranteed good minutes, unlike an ACC team where you might wind up at the bottom of the pecking order and play vvery little.
Our top point guard recruits have done very well.. Just the most recent example is Tony Taylor, who was a high-scoring point guard in High School.
Just saying....
Like most things bobo - you just don't get it. The problem isn't that the second recruit might not complain after he arrives - the problem is that he won't want to come when there is another starting quality pg already there. And even if Lewis is fine with it then you're also showing Davis bad faith and you're showing people outside the program that you will recruit over guys.
And no Hobbs doesn't ideally want two under 6' guards in the backcourt at the same time as a longterm proposition. That's nice that St. Joes does it but Hobbs doesn't want to do it if "all he has to do is change his entire defensive scheme" that he relies upon.
But it's only "recruiting over" Davis if Lewis actually steals playing time from Davis. If Hobbs had the ability to adapt his schemes to fit his personel, then they could play both in the same backcourt. Sounds crazy but coaches actually can do this.
Most likely though, "thinker", Hobbs will be gone after this season and we won't have to deal with this issue.
FQ hit it but I'll elaborate. It's amazing that this conversation went on for as long as it did without the topic of "recruiting over WHOM" coming up. The Loyd-TT "debate" wasn't a real debate because they were several years apart. However, Thinker and I played the hypothetical what if they were a year apart scenario and that's where we had differences of opinion. I don't believe you recruit "over" someone who has proven himself on the court. In my estimation, Tony had shown enough in his play to receive the benefit of not having a quality prospect at his same position be recruited to challenge him for minutes. Again, this assumes that Tony would have been a sophomore when Loyd would have been a freshman. (Two or more class years apart is fine and encouraged.)
In one season, Dan Guest has proven himself to be a pass-first point guard who doesn't look like he will ever be a scoring threat. There were clearly some unfortunate and even tragic circumstances that factored into Dan's play. Nevertheless, I believe that most people can assume that Dan's upside is limited and that Davis looks like he would represent a clear upgrade at the position. So even though they are a class year apart, I would advocate recruiting Davis because I think having him on the team makes the team better without jeopardizing very much in return. Therefore, in this respect, it's a different scenario than Loyd-TT had they been one class year apart.
No bobo that isn't what "recruiting over" means - you can't just make up your own meanings to accepted terms. Recruting over means recruiting one guy with some type of specific promise and then turning around shortly thereafter and recruiting another guy - usually at the same position with the same promise. Those two promises would generally be mutually exclusive. So if both guys came, one would likely feel like they had been deceived. Much of the effect is felt before the second guy even plays so it isn't about actual miniutes. It's about perceived good faith in recruiting by the coach. But I understood it is folly to argue logic with you.
So the coaching staff is promising Davis a starting role as PG with no competiion after Taylor leaves? I hope not. Kids care about playing time and getting shots in the offensive. Lewis has played a good amount at SG in HS and Davis has been a "shoot first" PG so far in Dallas. No reason the coaches couldn't be honest and explain that, if they both come, they will focus the offense around the 3 guards: Davis, Lewis and Kromah. If they deserve it, all can start as well. There's plenty of minutes and shots to spread around for those 3 and let Pellom and Copes block shots and grab rebounds down low.
Remember that after we landed Ricky Lucas, we still recruited JR Pinnock, who played basically the same position. Both were rated roughly equally, with some scouting services preferring Lucas and some preferring Pinnock. Pinnock beat him out for the job and that was that. But as I understand it, Lucas was a good guy and held no hard feelings over it.
Same thing happened to my cousin, a highly sought after LaCrosse goalie. He was recruited by several lax powers, before signing with Rutgers. They also signed another goalie the same year because they basically had none. The other guy beat my cousin out for the starting job and, although my cousin at first wasn't happy about it, he made peace with it prety quickly without feeling like he was "recruited over."
bobo - I'm so glad you understand everything about how recruiting is actually done and the actual arguments used by coaches. Everything you say always makes sense other than it mostly being wrong. You make points based on your logic that you imagine is what other people's logic should be - unfortunately it usually isn't. You should focus on what you know best - telling us how much future recruits who you've never seen play will suck. Your best argument here is that GW shouldn't want Davis anyway because he will suck.
I do think you need to make a distinction between recruiting two guys in the same class who play the same position (let them both know that there will be competition) or recruiting a player 2 or more class years apart (let the incoming freshman know that they are being groomed to be a starter one day) as opposed to recruiting a player one year apart from an established contributing player. Unless you are dissatisfied with the performance of the current player, I think this sends a threatening message which wouldn't be in the best interests of a player who you are happy with.
I find this discussion fascinating, and am unsure which side of the debate I fall on. On the one hand, having 2 good players at any position would be great. On the other hand- what constitutes being recruited over?
Montrell McDonald was a wing. He was recruited the year after JR, I believe, and 2 years after Mike Hall. Was that recruiting over, or continuing to build?
I think the cool thing about GW is that "recruiting over" can be less of an issue, solely because of the style of basketball hobbs coaches. Two PGs could benefit from 20 minutes a game, and both excel at GW (maybe). Certainly 2 or 3 or 4 wings can (see Smith, Ware, Mikic). At one point is it recruiting for the betterment of the team- and at what point is it recruiting to the detriment of the team- this is an interesting balance.
The obvious fear, in all of this, is losing out on a player for fear of not "recruiting over." Let's say, for example, GW gets Trey Davis. Now they are stoked...but, if I understand, would have to back off recruiting Jamal Lewis. This, understandably, would put GW behind the 8 ball in that recruitment. If, halfway through next season, Davis stinks--or gets hurt--or hates DC--now GW is behind on recruiting Lewis, and has no PG that they are happy with. This is a very interesting balance, indeed.
I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. There's no guarantee that Davis comes here. He's going to Florida State next week and it's tough to like our odds too much recruiting against an ACC team that just go to the Sweet 16. I think we have a decent shot but all of this talk of recruiting over somebody is sort of pointless until that person is here
DEA - in the mind of an 18 year old there are so many other factors - being seen on TV at FSU - associating with a school with a BCS football team which brings cameras on campus every weekend and world series level baseball team-the women on campus - the weather. Also, I get the idea that Hamilton is a decent bloke who got hosed over by the Zards during the rif between O'Malley and Michael Jordan.
Johnny Lee. 'Nuff said.
FSU does come with the lifelong stigma of having "attended FSU" going on your resume. It's like a scarlet letter A that tells future employers you are an ignorant asshole who will occassionally forget to wear pants to work, break out in an impromtu "hatchet chop" at least three times an hour, and eat urinal cakes at "snack time."
If only we could get Trey and Dootie in a room together for 10 minutes...Dootie could spend a minute praising GW and 9 minutes bashing FSU....and this would be a done deal.
I've seen Leonard Hamilton in the past, but it really freaked me out during the tourney this year how much he looks like Bunny Colvin. I think he coaches defense the Western district way.
You're a tad too wired, doug.
What the fuck did I do?
And just like that, doug has derailed the thread. You happy now bitch?
FQ made me laugh, though he forgot to mention that most men in that area pull their socks up to their knees when wearing shorts (and even sandals).
Sorry, meant notta hater...
i never saw on the board that we had made a pitch to this player. Elon is a darn good school, however, what am I missing? Was he over his head in the A-10 or did we almost slide on under the radar?
DS: Bunny Colvin, The Wire. No credit for David Simon?
bobo, do you think we lost him, or did we drop our pursuit in favor of Davis - they sound very similar to me.
Davis is a better player. Once he showed mutual interest then he got more attention
Hopefully it'll work out great, if true. Always nice to get the guy the coach wants.
As for the other guy, maybe he would have chosen Elon anyway, but if it's true that we backed off an actual offer when Davis showed interest, then it goes to illustrate the gamble that is recruiting. If the other kid just takes the offer when we make it, then he gets the schollie, instead of ending at Elon (again, that's assuming he wouldnt have preferred Elon anyway, which we have no idea, and presuming that the report of an offer from us is actually accurate, and that it's accurate that we backed off when Davis showed interest -- so many ifs that I'm basically offering a hypothetical).
April 14, 2011
That article actually was worth reading 4 times. Sounds very much like Tony Taylor credentials of a few years ago (coming out of high school).
Now with Davis signing along with the other Davis and Copes, Hobbs has put together his best recruiting class on paper in at least the last 3 or 4 years. I hope all of these guys fit in and have nice careers at GW. You can tell that Hobbs knows he is at a crucial time and is pushing hard to get some talented guys to come play here. I think the line from Hobbs to Davis had to be that he will be groomed over the next year as the starting pg, and perhaps Florida State and Auburn couldn't make the same commitment. It's probably true too.
I think you will see from some of the schedule that there's an upgrade there too.
FSU, Auburn???? Did we get a guy under the radar? Dare I say, In Hobbs We Trust?
Congrats to the GW Staff on this coup. Can't wait for next year already.
He should get to play SMU home and home, too.
When I heard of the visit this weekend, I was truly hoping we would be able to wrap this up quick as once again it seems like our recruiting is going back to finding the hidden gems, that seem to fall through the craks until the end of their time in high school (Copes of course excluded, as he has been committed for quite some time). To beat out BCS programs like Florida St. and Auburn is not only impressive, but it is yet another reminder that the chance for more playing time and to make a name for yourself in a league like the A10 and a city like D.C. are the NUMBER ONE way to recruit talented players in any area and at any position.
All I can think of now is with Taylor, Davis and Bynes at PG, Kromah, Mikic, Smith, Ware and J. Davis to split time at the 2 and 3, and using Pellom, Copes and a bit of Warren for the post positions, this team has turned itself into a formidable force on paper. If you think the opening game lineup would be Taylor, Kromah, Mikic, Pellom and Copes, Than it gives us the chance to bring a scoring point guard Davis off the bench, a defensive guard in Bynes off the pine as well as strong role players like Smith, Ware, J.Davis and even Warren to give us solid minutes.
The bottom line is this team must perform at a high level, and if the schedule is as strong as is being advertised, the early season excuses must be at a minimum as the talent level that exists within GW is that of a potential NCAA tournament team, or at worst an NIT caliber squad. There can be no stagnant offense or leaks in a stupid trap defense...this team must finally learn from the past years of losing and come to play from the start of the season, and I hope Hobbs and Co. are prepared to be coaching for their jobs on a nightly basis.
That said, I think just about everyone can agree that this is just one, in a number of promising signs, that in a cyclical sport like College Basketball, GW is on the way up.
Welcome, Trey!
This sounds great. Congrats to the coaching staff.
Also, Hobbs and co definitely throwing down the gauntlet for the mitten. Needs to demostrate that he can be more than just a defensive stopper.
I guess he likes to go to schools named after US Presidents.
Like the academic reference by his coach.
Washington and GW have a lot to sell as a place to go to school.
I'll be the debbie downer. There are two statements in the article that worry me. Neither statement was quoted to Trey, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt- but they are "red flag" type comments.
The first comes right up top. "Trey Davis approached the recruiting process the same way he chose to play basketball. He did it his way..." It's fine to approach the recruiting process that way. But I don't think Hobbs is really a "play basketball your way" kind of guy. If that's who he is, it will be an interesting dynamic.
The second comes towards the end of the article. "Davis has aspirations of being an immediate starter in the A-10." It is great that he has those aspirations...but I hope he doesn't have...and wasn't given..those expectations. There is a senior point guard ahead of him. There is an all A-10 guard coming back from injury ahead of him. It's possible GW goes with three guards to start, which would include him....but it doesn't really seem all that likely. I just hope he wasn't told he would be starting...because it doesn't appear to be plausible next year.
A few observations from that article:
1) He sounds like a good kid, and a good player. My guess is the big schools weren't on him early because he's only 160, and while even Hobbs' system is likely at its best with Carl Elliot sized PGs, one thing that's clear -- when you look at the non-BCS teams that make runs (like VCU and Richmond this year), they generally have a sub-6' guard who can really play and is only at their school because the BCS thought they were too small.
2) To Dan's point, the line about aspirations of being an immediate starter jumped out at me, too, but I also notiiced the previous statement in which he said he'd be given a chance for immediate PT. The key there being a chance. Sometimes you see guys say I chose the school because I could play right away. He certainly heard that it was just a chance (as in, if he excels in practice), but then again sometimes people only hear what they want to hear.
3) Glad to hear Donyell was involved in the recruiting. Perhaps this will turn into an example of his big name helping up our recruiting (but of course we have to see how this kid turns out).
4) The BEST thing in the article is that he chose GW over Florida St. because of the academics (along wth the coaches). I've said it a million times on this board, but when it comes to recruiting, facilities aren't everything. We are THE George Washington University. We're a good school, 4 blocks from the White House in DC (not in dumpy Tallahassee). It's a great place to go to college and I've long thought part of the recruiting key is finding kids who get that, like this kid. Remember that other link about him winning an essay contest about what he would do if he were an elected official? Clearly the kid has a head on his shoulders. We'll see how it ends up on the court for him, but I hope this becomes an object lesson in how to recruit.
KH tells everyone he recruits that they will get minutes because in the beginning, everyone does get minutes. How they ultimately perform determines how many more minutes they will be receiving. This is the benefit to playing lots of players (that, and that you can play a frenetic pace without tiring out 5-7 players). Agree with FQ that I don't think KH would ever promise an incoming freshman a starting spot (unless it were painfully obvious that the player will be starting as a freshman, which it is not in Trey's case), but the more likely conversation was that the incumbent is a senior and you (Trey) will have a legitimate chance to become a starter as a sophomore.
GW doesn't play traditonal positions very much. Often we run one guy down low and 4 guys on the wing on offense. Last year TT play 1/2 as a PG and 1/2 as an off guard. If Trey adjusts to the college game quickly he'll play a lot. Like always Hobbs will try a bunch of combinations in practice and early on in the season. Starters will get determined there. There's no reason why TT, Trey, Lasan couldn't all start.
I have no doubt Hobbs guaranteed him minutes. I just hope he didn't guarantee him a starting spot. I have no idea if he did...or even if the kid expects it. The author used the word "aspirations." No qualms here- just noticed it and thought it was worth the discussion.
As MV said, everyone comming to GW expects significant minutes from the start. That includes Bynes, Mikic, Guest, Fitzgerald and the Davis brothers. No doubt all the new recruits next year will be expecting to play right away as well.
Bobo's comment made me realize something. It seems to me that it's shockingly rare for a team to have two players at the same time with the same last name and no relation.
Speaking of Presidents besides Woodrow Wilson his high school coach is named Washington.
Assuming all of the recruits live up to expectations, I would assume the #1 order of business would be some more frontcourt depth. Maybe Donovan Jack.

The WiMAX Forum says that WiMAX will expand coverage to potentially serve a billion people by the end of this year. Last year, the strongest growing areas included the United States (with Clearwire), Japan, Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines. → Read More
In a tweet published today, Sprint spokesperson Stephanie Vinge announced that Colorado's favourite capital, Denver, will soon receive the honour of becoming Sprint's 66th market to receive their 4G WiMAX signals.
"And when will it receive the title?" I hear you ask.
"Why, December 19th!" I reply! → Read More
It's a red-letter day, folks: Gateway just release a $700 NV laptop with WiMAX built-in, namely the Intel 6250 Wi-Fi/WiMax card. Otherwise this is pretty bog-standard for a laptop although it does seem to mirror HP's sexy styling on their own Envy line. WiMax connectivity comes from carriers across the country and isn't included in the package. Press release after the jump. → Read More
Lenovo company chief Yang Yuanqing said that soon the majority of Lenovo products would run on the mobile web, meaning a cross of 3G and 4G technologies. Most of their current line comes with 3G built in and their ThinkPad line is just screaming out for mobile web simply because it is aimed at the on-the-go professional.
What think I on this topic? I think Lenovo is unqiuely placed to take… → Read More
Sprint, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks (to name a few) continue to bet big on Clearwire's WiMAX nationwide wireless network. The foursome have just pumped an additional $1.494 billion into Clearwire's coffer, with another $50 million coming from Intel and $20 million from Eagle River Holdings. CHA-CHING. → Read More
Yesterday, Clearwire announced the expansion of its CLEAR 4G WiMAX Internet Service to 10 new markets, bringing the total number of markets served up to 14 with coverage for over 10 million users. This is good news for all the WiMAX fanboys and girls out there, and especially for those who reside in the Lone Star state. The newly serviced areas include: Boise, Idaho; Bellingham, Wash.; and eight… → Read More
This is a document that purports to show new Sprint WiMAX-having cities. It's terribly exciting. → Read More
Do you find yourself out and about in the city enough that you hardly use your broadband at home? Neither do I, since said broadband is usually downloading the latest this-and-that while I'm gone, but it might be nice to have a "second line" of high-speed internet for when I don't want to compete with 20 other people for a cafe's wi-fi. Others, in cities where free… → Read More
The first thought that popped into my head after reading the headline "Kabul Goes Wimax" was, "Wow, Kabul has Wimax, and my T-Mobile BlackBerry can't even get EDGE." (Note: I'm about an hour north of New York City, also known as "upstate.") The embedded video has all you need to know. → Read More
Even though WiMAX is only available in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Portland, Dell is now offering up the wireless broadband as an option on select notebooks. The upgrade only costs $60 for the Studio 15, Studio 17, and Studio XPS line, but don't forget that there will be a monthly cost from Sprint too. → Read More
AT&T and Verizon might have the lion's share of the mobile broadband market, but don't count Sprint and Clearwire's WiMAX out just yet. The chairman of Clearwire was nailed down for an interview at CTIA where he championed the high bandwidth wireless solution by talking about the low capacity of VZW's and AT&T's 3G network. And how WiMAX can even handle the Skype calls despite the… → Read More
.The upcoming Samsung Mondi broke a few days ago and was recently spotted at CTIA. The large MID sounds great on paper thanks to some killer specs, most notably being the WiMAX internet connectivity and a 4.3-inch touchscreen. However, the Windows Mobile 6.1 underpinnings with the TouchWIZ OS is somewhat of a turnoff. That being said, this basic video has certainly peeked our interest. This might… → Read More
Samsung just unleashed the powerhouse that is the Mondi. This massive handset comes packing with speedy WiMAX support in a big daddy slider form factor. Winmo 6.1 powers the device and it seems that Samsung has big hopes for the huge device as it's got just about everything possible in a mobile computing platform. Check it: MS Office, WiFi, BT 2.1, GPS with preloaded maps, 4 GB of internal memory… → Read More
The Samsung SWD-M100 Mondi is the first Wimax device in the U.S. and hopes to pick up where Nokia's Wimax tablet, now discontinued in the U.S., left off. → Read More
This Sunday, Sprint customers in the Baltimore area will be able to purchase a USB modem that's capable of handling both 3G and 4G (Wi-Max) wireless signals. That's a combined total of 7G! The device – called the U300 – is made by Franklin wireless and will cost $149 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in-rebate. It'll also be available in Baltimore-area Best Buy stores early… → Read More
Perhaps it's a little bit insensitive to post this; We already know the US isn't getting the Touch HD, so chances are we'll also be missing out on its WiMax enabled big brother, the Max 4G. It's like rubbing salt on a fresh wound – but when said salt sports a 3.8″ WVGA screen and WiMax, we just can't help ourselves. You'll have to tough it through… → Read More
Wireless provider Korean Telecom reportedly signed a "memorandum of understanding" with Apple to combine "WiBro, a third generation-based communications technology, with Apple's hit products such as the MacBook laptops and iPod media players," according to Unwired View. → Read More
The promise of Wi-Max is nothing less than high-speed wireless internet practically anywhere you go. Of course, the reality falls short, as it often does, but it still shows itself a worthy successor to normal 3G and wi-fi. This industrious tester zoomed around Baltimore and tested it out in different areas (70% of the city is covered at the moment), finding that speeds were generally on the order… → Read More
Oh my! Three of the biggest laptop makers out there all announcing 4G/WiMAX/XOHM service. All on the same day, too. It's almost as if it was planned. Acer has it in their big ones, Toshiba has it in their little ones, and Lenovo has it in just about their entire line. Boy, with all these laptops sucking up the signal, they might want to put those WiMAX points on higher ground! → Read More
Laptop Magazine, the most popular laptop magazine in the Scranton Airport, jetted down to Baltimore where they tested Sprint's XOHM service in the wild. The results, when compared to Verizon EV-DO were impressive. It took 6 minutes to download a 233MB video while EV-DO tool 24 minutes while web pages loaded in about half the time, consistently, when compared to EV-DO. Their video, live from… → Read More
It's real, ladies and germs. Sprint's much anticipated and often thought vaporware service has finally gone live in Baltimore. The WiMAX service dubbed Xohm is 4G and boasts download speeds of 2-4 Mbps. Samsung is offering a Xohm-branded Express air card for $60 and ZyXEL has a Xohm modem for $80, which are both available starting today online or at select independent Baltimore retailers.

The design studio of Art Lebedev, perhaps most well known for their pocket-melting Optimus OLED keyboard, has been working on some WiMax handset concepts for Scartel, a Russian wireless carrier with plans to blanket Moscow and St Petersburg in WiMax coverage by the end of 2008. Though it's likely little more than an idea at this point, the penned out concept specs are drool worthy. Tucked… → Read More
The WiMAX rollout should be right 'round the corner and Motorola is here with the USBw 100 adapter just in time. The companies first WiMAX device is coming in three tasty flavors – 2.3GHz, 2.5GHz and 3.5 GHz – to ensure a compatible version is available for your network's frequency range. Thanks to multiple antenna technology and some Motorola wizardry, the… → Read More
Note the BS The biggest issue with 4G networks is handover. When you're speeding down the highway, your cellphone and wireless devices constantly hop from station to station, picking up connectivity as you go along. In a perfect world, this handover is seamless but, as we all know, in the real world it isn't poifect. Nortel just tested their LTE standard with vehicles moving between… → Read More

After being delayed and delayed again, Sprint appears to finally be ready to roll out its high-speed WiMAX network, XOHM. The service will be offered to consumers in Baltimore starting in September. It's been tested in Chicago and the Baltimore-Washington D.C. area but September will be the first month that XOHM will be commercially available to everyone. Chicago and Washington D.C. will get the… → Read More
They're saying WiMAX is the future, and it may well be, and many are gambling thusly. Flyvo is doing just that with this WiMAX-enabled handheld gaming system, the G100.

It has WiFi and Bluetooth as well for multiplayer gaming and 4GB… → Read More
Centrino 2 has finally seen the public, as Intel is previewing its next-gen wireless chipset this week at Computex.

An older technology, InspiAir was supposed to be the Wi-Fi of its day. It cost less than Wi-Fi and offered a 1 mile signal radius and considerably lower power at about 1MBps. A Dutch company, KMC Systems, bought the rights to the technology, renamed it Max-Fi, and could be rolling it out in the next few months in Europe. Max-Fi gear was recently chosen by the Port of Antwerp, which has covered 30… → Read More

UofU Patient May 08, 2013Dr Kaplan was excellent. I would definitely recommend him.
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Dr. Kaplan is always so happy and seems to LOvE his job. He always has a smile and a greeting for you when he enters the room. He is very patient with lots of questions and is extremely knowledgeable and up front about everything!
UofU Patient April 02, 2013Dr. Kaplin had already read through a mountain of records and was already familiar with all my Many,many serious problems. He said I already know you I just didn't know what you looked like... GREAT! He looked through the papers that I brought that I received in the mail. But he knew most everything that I listed. I asked him to be honest with me about my life expectancy and what his feelings were. He was so helpful. So kind and understanding. First Doc that told me the truth about what I was facing. I appreciatied it so much and felt that I went away with a full understanding of what I was facing. What an amazing doctor. Would recommend him to EVERYONE!
UofU Patient April 02, 2013Dr Kaplin is outstanding!
UofU Patient April 01, 2013Dr. Kaplan was excellent and very thorough. I am a previous patient at the Clinic and he research my files with two doctors to ensure he was up to speed on my past medical experiences. After I had completed my blood tests and shots, I walked by his office and asked a few more questions. He was very willing to talk with me about concerns I had forgotten to mention in our original meeting. I found his overall approach to be very refreshing and especially appreciate his willingness to spend as much time with me as I needed during the visit.
UofU Patient March 25, 2013Dr. Kaplan discussed with me tests and blood work that I needed to have done and when. He diagnosed a problem for me and provided me prescription for it. He reads my file and I feel very confident that he has my very best interest in mind. A great doctor with exceptional skills.
UofU Patient March 18, 2013This visit included a family conference which was fundamental. My doc is a great guy and top notch doc..
UofU Patient March 12, 2013Outstanding listener and explainer.
UofU Patient February 25, 2013Dr. Kaplan is a great doctor. He's very thorough and caring.
UofU Patient February 18, 2013He was a textbook expert who put into practice everything many of us human beings always wished for but usually could not find. He was kind. Informed, and way beyond my expectations as my "substitute" doctor, and he stayed with me during a long process, going in and out but letting me know why a delay.j
UofU Patient February 12, 2013First time I have met Dr. Kaplan, he was professional. personable and knowledgable. Made a plan of care that made sense.
UofU Patient February 11, 2013Dr. Kaplan is very kind and thoughtful.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013I enjoyed meeting Dr. David Kaplan. He is competent, thorough, and I like his conservative approach. And the nurse that assisted me before meeting with Dr. Kaplan was welcoming and I felt comfortable with her as well. I really like that they set me up with an online account right there in the exam room. I commend them getting all patients using an online vehicle for communicating right away!
UofU Patient January 29, 2013I couldn't be more impressed with Dr. Kaplan. Even for a visit like this where I had a number of concerns, he never makes me feel rushed or like he has someone more important waiting. He is very kind but has a direct communication style that I truly appreciate. I trust his judgment absolutely and I take his advice to heart.
UofU Patient January 29, 2013Dr Kaplan was very professional and instilled confidence as we went through the exam process and in giving me his assessment and instructions
UofU Patient January 29, 2013Doc and staff did fine. It was my first visit. Takes a while before I have confidence in the quality of care, but no negatives on the first visit.
UofU Patient January 24, 2013I am considering transferring my primary care to Dr. Kaplan.
UofU Patient January 11, 2013I love that Dr. Kaplan provides me information on the literature and current recommendations for treatment regarding my primary complaint. When there are options, he provides me with risks/benefits of each, and allows me to take an active role in decision making about treatment. As an ICU nurse, I have some baseline medical knowledge, and I feel like Dr. Kaplan recognizes that and discusses my treatment options with me as someone who can make an intelligent decision about their own care. I saw him last summer for something unrelated, and he followed up with me about that condition as well.
UofU Patient January 10, 2013I am getting older so I don't know what is aging and what I need a doctor's care for?
UofU Patient January 07, 2013Dr. Kaplan is outstanding. Very well-informed and empathetic
UofU Patient December 20, 2012I like Dr. Kaplan because he listens and shows concern when appropriate. He is thorough.
UofU Patient December 13, 2012Dr. Kaplan was excellent. I love the way he cared for my mom and spoke frankly to me about everything.
UofU Patient December 12, 2012My mom back in California wished the Doctors offices there was like my experience from my conversation with her
UofU Patient December 10, 2012Although I live in Malad, Idaho, I choose to go to the Madsen Clinic because I feel I am treated so well.
UofU Patient November 20, 2012Great staff
UofU Patient November 19, 2012I'm so happy that I found Dr. Kaplan! He's kind, thorough, informative and always takes a minute to clearly explain my diagnosis and treatment options.
UofU Patient November 14, 2012I have chosen Dr. Kaplan as my primary care giver. He was very attentive to my description of my concerns. I have confidence in his skills.
UofU Patient November 05, 2012Dr. Kaplan is wonderful. Has read my notes from other Drs. and is up on what's going on with my body. Listens to my concerns and understands and agrees with my belief in the mind body connection. A must for me to be on the same page with mind/body.
UofU Patient October 23, 2012I've already recommended him to two friends who are looking for doctors. I really appreciate his thoroughness.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Already referred one of my friends to Dr. Kaplan.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Everything was first rate!
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Dr. Kaplan was very thorough and kind. He made me feel as if I was the only person in the clinic that day!
UofU Patient October 05, 2012It is encouraging to have talented Doctors like David Kaplan in the field when there are other fields which are more highly compensated. Thank you for giving us your talents.
UofU Patient October 05, 2012This was an initial appointment so it will take a few more encounters to have enough information to make a firm impression.
UofU Patient October 04, 2012Never before have I been treated with so much care and concern as a WHOLE person. He is very skilled at and willing to find the problem rather than just treat the symptoms. His advise and treatment has been easy to understand and follow, and has improved the quality of my life.
UofU Patient September 18, 2012I had first met Dr. Kaplan about a year ago. I was new to Utah; he was in his residency. His professional manner and "art of healing" approachability were a pleasant surprise for me. It is rare in MDs (my experience over many decades) and very rare in someone his age. I feel complete confidence in David.
UofU Patient September 14, 2012Dr. Kaplan was very understanding, listened to my concerns and never tried to push my care in any direction without explaining his rationale. He seemed very knowledgeable, but did not talk "over my head". I will definitely see him again, and will refer him to all my friends who are looking for primary care physicians. I had not found a primary care MD that I would continue to see until now.
UofU Patient September 11, 2012Dr. Kaplan explained everything to me and gave me as much time as I needed to answer questions. Also, is soooo knowledgeable about all my conditions..Thanks so much..
UofU Patient September 04, 2012I recommended him to a friend. He is knowledgeable and evidence based. He explains things well.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012My wife and I were extremely impressed with Dr. Kaplan.
UofU Patient August 24, 2012Dr. Kaplan is great. He seems genuinely interested in my well-being. Moreover, he is highly knowledgeable. This combined with his easy-going manner make him a very good doctor.
UofU Patient August 17, 2012Dr. Kaplan did an amazing job making me feel at ease, explained in detail the approach he was taking for my care -- made sure at-least 3x I felt okay with the plan and he asked me to keep him updated post appointment. He even created a plan with me in-case I wouldn't be able to get a hold of him. Leaving the office -- i felt more educated about my condition and at ease as well as a plan for my care.
UofU Patient August 06, 2012Dr. Kaplan is the sole reason why I came to Madsen Internal Medicine.
UofU Patient July 31, 2012listened to my concerns offered solution
UofU Patient July 25, 2012Very impressed with care
UofU Patient July 18, 2012This was the second time I'd seen Dr. Kaplan and I am just loving him! He never makes me feel rushed and seems genuinely concerned with my issues.
UofU Patient July 17, 2012This was a work in appointment = and so much appreciated.
UofU Patient July 16, 2012We changed doctors to Dr. Kaplan because he is very caring and knowledgeable
UofU Patient July 09, 2012Dr. Kaplan is very personable and concerned, and provides excellent patient care
UofU Patient July 02, 2012Doc Kaplan seems like a good guy
UofU Patient July 02, 2012I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Kaplan. He's kind, listens to all of my concerns, explains things to me, and never makes me feel rushed.
UofU Patient June 30, 2012For a first visit it was fine
UofU Patient June 29, 2012Dr Kaplan is one of those 'gems' in the medical field.
UofU Patient June 29, 2012I feel very comfortable with my care provider
UofU Patient June 15, 2012Dr. Kaplan was excellent. As a registered nurse, I am probably a bit demanding in terms of wanting to understand what the physician is considering related to my problems. I felt that Dr. Kaplan addressed my concerns and spoke to me at a level knowing I have a decent baseline of medical knowledge. Even if I may have asked some ridiculous questions, he answered them thoroughly and thoughtfully without ever seeming annoyed or in a hurry. Most importantly, I felt like he established a very good line of communication.
UofU Patient June 13, 2012He was so friendly and nice - I called him David. Later, my son-in-law MD said I should always refer to Dr's by thier title. I think David Kaplan is an excellent Dr.
UofU Patient May 09, 2012Great experience
UofU Patient May 07, 2012Dr Kaplan was very courtious with me, he answered all question's in reference to my ongoing care.
UofU Patient May 04, 2012I am very satisfied with the time Dr. Kaplan spent with me.
UofU Patient April 18, 2012Dr. Kaplan was great. I wasn't sure if he was going to give me a printout with instructions, so I had to ask. He obliged without hesitation. I had a medical student, I believe his name was Rob (?) who participated in all expects of my visit. He was really great too! I liked that both Dr. Kaplan and the student made me feel comfortable enough that I could make silly jokes/comments about my condition. It helped ease my nerves to be able to laugh and not feel stupid.
UofU Patient April 06, 2012The doctor gave me detailed explanation about my follow up.
UofU Patient April 04, 2012Dr seemed to agree with my wife about weather I should drive or not as far as my memory when I have very little memory loss if any at all.

My oh my, why has it taken this long for Mr. de la Rocha to come out with something after the destruction of Rage Against The Machine. Maybe he was just waiting for the right person to collaborate with. And it appears that he found it in Jon Theodore, form drummer with The Mars Volta. This five song EP from the band named after the quote "It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb" is quite impressive but not quite as hard hitting as you might have expected. But from the sounds of it that it's on purpose. Zach and Jon wanted a more stripped down rock album. That's more or less what you get from the duo. Check out the almost pure hip hop track, "If You Fear Dying" for a great example of the nakedness of what the band can do. The thing I like about Zach's vocals on here is that he sings a little more than you may expect. He's got a decent singing voice as well. But really, we all love Zach for his political rapping and that's exactly what most of these songs deliver. The title track could be construed as the best track of the 5. But you could argue any of them the best.
For those disappointed in what Audioslave delivered, you should be happy and content with these 5 songs. I hope we see more from One Day As A Lion. These are some great tracks and should prove to lay the ground for the new.

I just tracked this album down a few days ago and I loved it. Great minimalist rap from de la Rocha; hopefully there'll be a follow-up full album soon.

Every track on this E.P I feel is quite strong. Zack does however get a bit annoying with the brashness of his delivery.
I HYPED One day As A Lion on EverHYPE and scored it 87%, which I think is very accurate.
If you get on there rate me a 5 on it and request friendship.

Another stellar review. I agree with the singing voice point. It's awesome that he's trying different things, but, sadly, everyone is looking for that hardcore poli-rock rap we've all fallen in love with. The simplicity of this EP really allows Jon Theodore to stand out rather than being buried behind the thousands of sounds the Mars Volta produces.
All in all a great 5 song taste of hopefully things to come

Wild International is sitting well on me, I'll have to get this EP. Hearing Rocha now, like I'm sure it does for many, has me longing for RATM. Even the keyboards on WI sound inspired by Tom Morello's playing. I think I need to spend some time with Evil Empire.

Joshua Pellicer, Tao of Badass founder believes his video series is the key to teaching men how to attract women.
