Bought this raw frame about 8-9 years ago, approx 2003? NOS, never built up. It has languished in my garage. I believe it is 62cm. I am thinking of building it up now, but I need to get a bit more information about it.
I think it is a late 80's or early 90's Tomasso. Note the integrated cable routing on the top tube, chromed stays. Apparently a Billato Bros import for a Florida importer?
Looks alot like this bike on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tomm...item20db5aeee4
And like this one: http://chuck.kichline.com/bikes/Tommaso/default.htm
It feels light, though I haven't weighed it yet. My plan is to lightly sand away the surface rust and have it powder-painted and them move over either a Shimano 600 set up or a 1980's camp NV group. Other than the bottom bracket, I think I have all of the required equipment to build it out. Need to check the dimensions of the rear triangle to see if it will hold a 130mm wheelset, otherwise it will be an old high-flange campy 6-speed type arrangement.
What is the best way to determine the bottom bracket type? I was thinking it would be great to find an old Phil-Woods cartridge type square-taper set up. Other good options that are findable? Any links to pictures of this vintage frame built-out and on the road?
Where is the best place for an new sticker set and what should I expect to spend?
Any recommended color schemes. I am tempted to paint it as a tribute to the Pinarello I lusted for when I was a boy - blood red, like the Ferrari color.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance

Anne Gleason '07, a psychology and sociology/anthropology major from Holliston, Mass., and Logan Gibson '08, a politics major with a concentration in poverty studies from Charlottesville, Va., were recently awarded grants from 100 Projects for Peace, an organization that invites undergraduate students to submit a project proposal that enhances the idea of world peace.
Both Gleason and Gibson will receive a $10,000 grant made possible by Kathryn Wasserman Davis, an accomplished internationalist and philanthropist.
Anne Gleason '07 Gleason's project, The Healthy Community Curry Kitchen, will be established in Bulathsinhala, a rural town in the Kalutara District of Sri Lanka. It will provide a free weekly dinner to members of the impoverished community.
"My inspiration for this project stems from my experience working in a public hospital in Sri Lanka in the summer of 2005," said Gleason. She fell in love with the Sri Lankan people and their culture, and wants to help alleviate the malnutrition prevalent among the women and children.
The Healthy Community Curry Kitchen has many aims: to improve community solidarity, to reduce food insecurity and to improve nutrition through health education. Gleason hopes to provide a secular meeting point for community members, in hopes of facilitating open interaction among them.
While in Sri Lanka in 2005, Gleason witnessed the intense conflict between Sinhalese, Muslim and Tamil people. "Based on the premise that all Sri Lankans have a right to both healthy bodies and healthy communities, the Curry Kitchen takes a multi-faceted approach to promoting peace," Gleason said.
"Establishing the Curry Kitchen and sustaining it in the future will be a great challenge, but I believe W&L has prepared me very well," Gleason continued. "Over the past four years, I have received constant support in my studies and volunteer experiences abroad. W&L has also given me the academic background, interpersonal skills and confidence to make this project possible."
Logan Gibson will use her grant money to travel to Rwanda, where she will open the first library in the town of Rwamagana. Her project will collaborate with the local non-governmental organization (NGO), Rwanda School Project, to provide a library to the school being built there. The library will be available full-time to students at the school and accessible several times a week to community members, as well.
Before 1994, the Rwandan educational system was hindered by ethnic division. "During the Colonial period, the Hutus were barred from schooling and good jobs," said Gibson. "After independence in 1959, the reverse was practiced- the Tutsis were repressed. "There is only one public library in all of Rwanda," Gibson continued. "It is funded by the NGO American Friends of the Kigali Library, and is not yet open. By developing a library at the Rwamagana school, I can help facilitate social reconciliation in Rwanda through education and literary access for both ethnic groups."
Gibson became interested in the African region by taking Professor Tyler Dickovick's class on international development the fall of her sophomore year. "I am also a Shepherd Poverty student--I recently wrote my capstone thesis on gender inequity in South African education--and the combination of the Shepherd outlook and the new exposure to development issues in really sparked my interest in the region," she said.
She has already begun collecting books for her library. "I drove to the Green Valley Book Fair in Harrisonburg and purchased many of the books and I ordered the rest from Amazon.com," said Gibson. "A few sets were donated from friends and from the Leyburn library here at W&L. Dick Grefe and Karin O' Callaghan have been especially helpful."
Both women will travel to their chosen countries this summer to begin work. Gleason will spend five to six weeks in Sri Lanka before returning to the U.S. to begin work for a group of community clinics in Denver this September. Gibson will return to W&L after her trip to Rwanda, and will serve as the Speakers Chair for W&L's 2008 Mock Convention, among other activities. She is considering applying for a Fulbright to study in South Africa following her graduation next spring.

San Francisco Steelers bar crawl
If Sunday was any barometer, expect Candlestick Park to be absolutely mobbed with Steelers fans tonight ... from the moment we got of the Powell St. stop of the BART train, we've seen Steelers fans around every corner of San Francisco, from Chinatown to North Beach to the Mission
We stopped at two Steelers bars last night that were packed with Pittsburgh partisans getting jacked up for today's game like it was Christmas Eve and cheering full throat for the Chargers to beat Baltimore. First stop, Giordano Bros. in North Beach -- a.k.a Primanti's West -- where they serve an even better version of Pittsburgh's iconic sandwich.
This might be heretical to say, but this one was better -- better bread, better meat, better fries. The only thing they missed on was the slaw. Primanti's slaw is better.
Call Arnold Slick ...
Moving on to Shanghai Kelly's, the oldest Steelers bar in town. While Giordano Bros. was specifically founded to be a Steelers bar, it happened more organically at Kelly's, where a bunch of black & gold residents gradually took over the place ...
In the middle is Det. Daniel Honan of the City of Pittsburgh police sex crimes squad. He's with Patrolman Michael Stolzman of the Oakland Police. The two gentlemen became friends after Stolzman was part of a delegation of Oakland officers that flew out for the funerals of Pittsburgh Police officers Paul J. Sciullo II, Stephen J. Mayhle and Eric G. Kelly two and a half years ago.
Now tacked up at Kelly's.

I'm using the client with ZCS 5.0.11 (NE). The server is an Intel Mac running 10.4.x.
When I create a filter on the client, it doesn't do anything--incoming mail is not acted on in any way as far as I can tell. Checking the web interface, I also see that the filter isn't there.
If I create a filter in the web interface, the filter is not reflected in the client. However, a filter that files messages does work. But a filter that forwards messages seems to just delete them unseen, which is particularly troubling.

Vt. Electric Co-op returning $850K to members
MONTPELIER The Vermont Electric Cooperative is returning $850,000 to members, the first time its made such a distribution in its 75-year history.
In previous years, the Co-op has reinvested earnings in upgrades to its electrical system and used capital to secure power supply contracts.
Vermont Public Radio reports (http://bit.ly/1aIvEa4) the co-op recently adopted new policies that enable patronage capital distributions. Thats based on the principle that the economic benefits of a cooperatives operation should be returned to its members or reinvested in the co-op.
The distributions apply to members during 1997 and 2012. Active members in good account standing and with patronage capital balances from these years can expect to receive a credit on their bills between now and mid-October.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Vermont Agency of Transportation has decided to yank a new seat belt safety ad from the...

I have an array of bytes (which I read through a stream directly from a .bmp and then store as a BLOB in a database) which I want to display as icons in a CImageList. Therefore I want to somehow load my data into an HBITMAP or CBitmap. I have done it like this up to now, reading from a file:
hPic = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(NULL, strPath, IMAGE_BITMAP, dwWidth, dwHeight, LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_VGACOLOR);
CBitmap bitmap;
But obviously, that only works for files, but not for byte-arrays. How can I get the same result, but reading from an array of byte?
Edit: Note that my array does not contain just the colour information, but rather the complete file as it is written on disk, including all headers and meta-data. It seems to me that discarding all that information is a bad idea.

How much would Tony Stark's house cost?
Movoto took a look at how much Tony Stark's digs in the "Iron Man" movies would cost, basing it on a combination of the real house where the exteriors were filmed and adding in square footage and more information for the interiors seen in the movie.
From Movoto:
One of the major tentpole movies coming out this summer is Iron Man 3. This is a big deal for a lot of people, including me. When I was younger I had a thing for robots. In my confused little brain, I somehow thought that Iron Man was a robot, not some dude in a tin suit. Either way, for a few months Iron Man was my favorite superhero. To this day, I still have some warm feelings about the guy, meaning I'm pumped for the movie.
In preparation for the next installment in the series, I rewatched the first two movies. One of the things that struck me was Iron Man's house. It's gorgeous, open, and a million more adjectives. This led me to ask: How much would Iron Man's house cost?
After I crunched the numbers and battled the Internet, my best guess was about $117,250,000. To put this into perspective, Iron Man's house is more than twice the price of Wayne Manor. You'll never hear me say that Iron Man is better than Batman, but someone out there is going to put a checkmark in Tony Stark's column.

Nouns – Cases and Case Use Part III
Posted on 24. Feb, 2011 by Kasia in Grammar
Today we will finish talking about cases. The two that we have left is Locative (miejscownik) and Vocative (wołacz).
Locative Case (o czym? o kim?)
Locative indicates a location and is required after the prepositions w in, na (on, at), o (about), po (after), przy (near, during, while)
Ona jest teraz w szkole Now she is at school -Loc.
Po kolacji idziemy do kina After dinner-Loc. we are going to the movie.
Muszę kupić znaczki na poczcie I have to buy stamps at the post-office-Loc.
Biblioteka stoi przy ulicy Wars The library is next to Wars Street-Loc.
There are several different locative endings in Polish:
- -ie used for singular nouns of all genders, e.g. niebo → niebie.
- brat → bracie
- rzeka → rzece
- noga → nodze
- -u used for:
- Some masculine singular nouns, e.g. syn → synu, dom → domu, bok → boku, brzuch → brzuchu, worek → worku*, nastrój → nastroju*, deszcz → deszczu, miś → misiu, koń → koniu, Poznań → Poznaniu, Wrocław → Wrocławiu, Bytom → Bytomiu** [* In a few cases, a vowel change may occur, e.g. ó → o, or a vowel may be dropped. ** Final consonants in Wrocław and Bytom used to be soft, which is still reflected in suffixed forms, hence -i-.]
- All neuter singular nouns ending in -e, e.g. miejsce → miejscu, życie → życiu
- Some neuter singular nouns ending in -o, e.g. mleko → mleku, łóżko → łóżku, ucho → uchu
- -i used for:
- Feminine nouns ending in -ia, e.g. Kasia ("Katie") → o Kasi ("about Katie"), Austria → w Austrii ("in Austria")
- Feminine nouns ending in -ść, e.g. miłość ("love") → o miłości ("about love")
- -ach used for plural nouns of all genders, e.g. kobiety ("women") → o kobietach ("about women")
- -ich / -ych Used for plural adjectives of all genders, e.g. małe sklepy ("small shops") → w małych sklepach ("in small shops")
- -im / -ym Used for masculine and neuter singular adjectives, e.g. polski język ("Polish language") → w polskim języku ("in the Polish language")
- -ej Used for feminine singular adjectives, e.g. duża krowa ("big cow") → o dużej krowie ("about a big cow")
Vocative Case (O!)
The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person (animal, object, etc.) being addressed and/or occasionally the determiners of that noun. A vocative expression is an expression of direct address, wherein the identity of the party being spoken to is set forth expressly within a sentence.
Feminine nouns usually take -o, except those ending in -sia, -cia, -nia, and -dzia which take -u, and those ending in -ść which take -i.
Masculine nouns generally follow the complex pattern of the locative case, with the exception of a handful of words such as Bóg → Boże ("God"), ojciec → ojcze ("father") and chłopiec → chłopcze ("boy").
Neuter nouns and all plural nouns are the same as in the nominative case.
Usually, the Nominative case functions as a de facto Vocative:
Adam, chodź tu! (Adam -Nom., come here!).
Asia, przynieś książki! (Asia – Nom. bring books)
However, in conjunction with titles, the Vocative is obligatory:
Dzień dobry, panie profesorze! (Hello, professsor-Voc.!).
In addition, the vocative remains prevalent:
- To address an individual using his/her function, title, other attribute, family role
- Panie doktorze (Doctor!), Panie prezesie! (Chairman!)
- Przybywasz za późno, wybawco (You arrive too late, savor-Voc)
- synu (son), mamo (mom), tato (dad)
- After adjectives, demonstrative pronouns, and possessive pronouns
- Nie rozumiesz mnie, moja droga Kasiu! (You don't understand me, my dear Kasia -Voc!)
- To address an individual in an offensive or condescending manner, e.g.
- Zamknij się, pajacu! ("Shut up, you buffoon!")
- Co się gapisz, idioto? ("What are you staring at, idiot!")
- After "Ty" (second person singular pronoun)
- Ty kłamczuchu! (You liar!)
- Set expressions, e.g.
- (O) Matko!, (O) Boże!, (Mother!, Oh God!)
The vocative is also often employed in affectionate and endearing contexts such as
Kocham Cię Mamo! ("I love you Mom!")
Tęsknię za Tobą, moja Żono. ("I miss you, my wife.")
I think we covered everything. If I missed anything or if you have questions, please let me know in comments below. It will probably take a little time and a lot of patience to understand and remember all of it, but don't give up!

Kasiu, let me disagree with statement "Usually, the Nominative case functions as a de facto Vocative". Especially when used for first names. Please do not publish such examples. Even though it's more and more commonly used (especially by people who don't really care what they say, or at the beginning of letters, mainly emails) such usage is wrong and comes to degradation of the language. Vocative should be Vocative nothing more.
So your examples should rather be:
Adamie, chodź tu! (Adam -Voc., come here!).
Asiu, przynieś książki! (Asia – Voc. bring books)
Please do not use Nominative in place of Vocative – his is wrong and … simply ugly. 🙁
Vocative itself is pretty and should be used correctly. Addressing you with Vocative "Kasiu" or me with "Michale" is much more correct, pretty and also more … personal and honest than using Nominative "Kasia" or "Michał". Really. Being native Polish speaker for 37 years I do hear the difference.
Kind regards,
PS. Apart from small mistakes/misunderstanding like this one, this blog is really nice. I do appreciate what you write and do recommend this reading to my English-speaking colleagues and coworkers. Keep up the good work 😉
Thank you very much ! The explanation is great ! 🙂

D-DAY: The Big Red One at Omaha Beach
Available in hardcover, paperback, electronic and audio versions.A white-knuckle account of the 1st Infantry Division's harrowing D-Day assault on the eastern sector of Omaha Beach—acclaimed historian John C. McManus has written a gripping history that will stand as the last word on this titanic battle.
Nicknamed the Big Red One, 1st Division had fought from North Africa to Sicily, earning a reputation as stalwart warriors on the front lines and rabble-rousers in the rear. Yet on D-Day, these jaded combat veterans melded with fresh-faced replacements to accomplish one of the most challenging and deadly missions ever. As the men hit the beach, their equipment destroyed or washed away, soldiers cut down by the dozens, courageous heroes emerged: men such as Sergeant Raymond Strojny, who grabbed a bazooka and engaged in a death duel with a fortified German antitank gun; T/5 Joe Pinder, a former minor-league pitcher who braved enemy fire to save a vital radio; Lieutenant John Spalding, a former sportswriter, and Sergeant Phil Streczyk, a truck driver, who together demolished a German strongpoint overlooking Easy Red, where hundreds of Americans had landed. Along the way, McManus explores the Gap Assault Team engineers who dealt with the extensive mines and obstacles, suffering nearly a fifty percent casualty rate; highlights officers such as Brigadier General Willard Wyman and Colonel George Taylor, who led the way to victory; and punctures scores of myths surrounding this long-misunderstood battle. The Dead and Those About to Die draws on a rich array of new or recently unearthed sources, including interviews with veterans. The result is history at its finest, the unforgettable story of the Big Red One's nineteen hours of hell—and their ultimate triumph—on June 6, 1944.
The praise is pouring in for this landmark new book on the Normandy invasion."Magnificent! I could not put this book down. John McManus has expanded our knowledge of D-Day history by a considerable factor. It is a great read and will appeal to both devoted students of World War II as well as those with a more casual interest. Don't miss it!" —Joseph Balkoski, author of Omaha Beach and Utah Beach
"John McManus' brilliant chronicle of the Big Red One's experience on Bloody Omaha captures the grit, pathos, and valor of the battle like no other book that I have read. This is gripping history—beautifully and masterfully told by one of America's premier historians." —Patrick O'Donnell, national bestselling author of Dog Company
"At first I thought I would draw the reader's attention to the simply magnificent narrative of one of the most famous and gripping events of modern military history, the nineteen hours epic of the First Division's landing, purgatory, and then near-exhausted triumph at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. Then I thought I would draw the attention of my professional fellow-historians to the outstanding set of notes and oral histories, so neatly tucked away at the end, superb scholarship but worn so lightly. But finally I had to choose its ending, the chapter called "Meaning,' on the thoughts, emotions, and later lives of this remarkable group of warriors. I closed this book with the deepest respect." —Paul Kennedy, J. Richardson Dilworth Professor of History, Director of International Security Studies, Yale University
The Dead and Those About to Die is a gripping, first-hand account of the desperate battle of Omaha beach on D-Day by the legendary 1st Infantry Division, the Big Red One. One the 70th anniversary of that momentous event, John C. McManus' tale of courage under fire is a vivid reminder that freedom isn't free and that when the chips are down stalwart American soldiers will always answer the call of duty." —Carlo D'Este, author of Patton: A Genius for War and Decision in Normandy
"With painstaking research, military historian John C. McManus delves behind the broader canvas of Omaha Beach to capture the courage, grit, and sacrifice of the 1st Division's D-Day landing. This is as real as it gets without having been there." —Walter Borneman, national bestselling author of The Admirals, winner of the Samuel Eliot Morison Award
"A skilled and highly talented author, John McManus has delivered another first-rate piece of scholarship. The Dead and Those About to Die is a tour de force of historical writing." —Robert von Maier, Editor-in-Chief of Global War Studies
"In vivid and chilling detail, this brilliantly organized battle narrative immortalizes the 1st Division's assault on Omaha Beach. Having unearthed eyewitness accounts of courage, carnage, fear and leadership never told before, McManus's masterful work deserves a place alongside those of Cornelius Ryan, Stephen Ambrose and Rick Atkinson." —David Roll, author of The Hopkins Touch: Harry Hopkins and the Forging of the Alliance to Defeat Hitler
"John McManus created a portrait with words as Spielberg did with images in Saving Private Ryan. Of course creating such a vivid picture with words is, for my money, far more difficult." —Paul Reid, author of The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Defender of the Realm, 1940-1965

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Good News About Jacqueline Laurita's Son Nicolas!
On Real Housewives of New Jersey, we've gotten to see Jacqueline Laurita and husband Chris raise their son Nicholas, who has been diagnosed with autism. So what good news did Jacqueline just share about Nicholas?
Jacqueline is quite diligent about keeping her fans updated on the latest about Nicholas, and her tweet on January 15 is quite uplifting.
"For the first time since Nick's regression, last night I watched him eat an entire piece of chicken with a fork!" Jac writes. "YAY for using utensils!" Yay, indeed!
We're thrilled for Jacqueline and her family about this positive development, and we continue to wish their family all the best. And is anyone else suddenly hungry for chicken?
Meanwhile, Jac's other son, CJ, has been under the weather this week. "My little CJ is home sick today," she tweets on January 13. "Fever, sore throat, lost his voice. When I called the school, five other classmates were out with the same thing." Get better soon, CJ!
Last month, Jacqueline spoke to In Touch about ways in which she bonds with Nick. "I know that playing with Legos is something that my son, Nick, and I both enjoy doing together that enhances a connection between us," Jac said. So sweet!

A true bundle for beginner and advanced
By Gray haired Dave
from Cleveland, Oh
I bought this camera a week ago, have shot my grandchildren indoors and outdoors. I am very pleased with the feel and results this camera delivers.The auto focus mode is very intuitive when it can find a face, has trouble pin pointing the focal subject on plants and animals (able to be tweaked in manually). The VR works well in all situations so far.I am pleased with the lenses that came in the kit. I tried the 18-200mm Lens at our camera store, it was too heavy (almost 20 oz), has zoom creep, and takes 72mm filters.Being an old 35mm SLR user I am very pleased with the picture control and will find the video mode invaluable this summer.

Awesome Awesome!!! Wish I got it earlier
By casual_photographer
from NJ
I got the D5200 after a little research and compared with several cameras., I am very glad I picked this and BJs bundle offer with the kit lens and a 55-200mm zoom was a great combination to begin playing with and to get started.If you ever get a body only deal and go for a 18-200mm instead, it will save you a bit of juggling the lenses., but there is no end to lenses., I plan to get some fixed focal length lenses and do some portraits., The details and colors are amazing., and the speed is simply superb!I got this camera to get some picture of my kid who is now into lot of activities; wish I had this camera earlier., but glad I got it now., Its an amazing camera for most folks., Truly Advanced/Professional level guys may prefer to go with full format camera, but for otherwise, for the price, you can't go wrong with this one.I got a flash since I take a lot of night pictures as well.,

Great Camera
By Caroline
from Mechanicsburg, PA
This camera is by far the best one I've ever had. It takes pictures fast and the pictures are so clear and look professional. I recommend this product to anyone who has kids on the move because you will get some good photos and they aren't blurry like most cameras.
Room to experiment and grow
By Carolina Craig
from Rhode Island
This camera has all the basics and plenty of room to grow into some of the bells and whistles that come with it. This old 35mm buff expects to use many of the auto settings at first, but this camera leaves the option open of getting fancy down the road. And a whopping 24 megapixels to boot! Only disappointment so far is that the promised "bonus" 8GB SD card was nowhere to be found in the bundle.
Great camera.
By J-Bro
from Westport, MA
I bought this camera 1 week before I went on vacation. Never owning a camera like this before, it was very easy to learn how to use. Now that I'm back from vacation, I love the pictures it took.

Veterans Affairs officials agreed Thursday night to consider two options to keep open a medical clinic in Buckeye whose announced closure riled patients.
Leaders of the VA system said they could either reopen bids to find a contractor or lease a building in town that would be staffed by the VA.
"Whatever this looks like, we're going to get it right," said Sharon Helman, Phoenix VA Health Care System director.
About 100 angry veterans shouted questions from the audience and told Helman of past promises of a VA-staffed clinic in town.
"VA needs to knuckle-down, get with it and get a clinic here," said Joe Frame, commander of the Isaiah Mays-Bill Mauldin American Legion Post 137 in Tonopah.
Helman didn't say when she would make a decision.
If the clinic were to shutter, 390 veterans who get care there would travel to Surprise for primary health care, about 35 miles from the Buckeye clinic.
Patients were told that the closure would be temporary, but some veterans who use the Buckeye clinic were skeptical.
The charge to keep open the facility has been led by retired U.S. Marine Tom Sloan, who is battling cancer. He is a member of the American Legion Post in Tonopah.
The VA contracts with Health Net Federal Services, the company that runs the clinic. Health Net decided not to renew its contract.
The veterans health-care group issued two contract solicitations in late 2012 to find another provider to maintain primary-care services at the Southwest Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Buckeye. But no bids came, a spokesman said.
In May the health-care group decided to suspend care at the downtown Buckeye center and transfer it to Northwest Community Based Outpatient Clinic in Surprise, 13985 W. Grand Ave.
Before the VA announced plans to close the clinic, the American Legion Post in Tonopah had worked closely with the VA and there was even talk of a new clinic opening in the Buckeye area this year.
At Thursday's meeting, Sloan asked the VA Health Care System director if she was aware of those previous meetings.
Sloan and his fellow veterans counter there are already too many veterans on the west side that have to travel a great distance to begin with.
Veterans travel to the Buckeye location from Tonopah and other communities located in western Arizona, he said. Tonopah is 47 miles from the Surprise clinic.
The veterans have the support of Town Council members, including Craig Heustis and Vice Mayor Brian McAchran.
Heustis said there are few medical services in the area already.
At least at the Buckeye clinic, veterans could see a physician and receive prescriptions.
There may be as many as 2,000 to 3,000 veterans between Buckeye and California who could benefit from a full-service clinic in Buckeye, Heustis said.

Vodafone to give 100 rural 'notspots' a 3G boost
But they will have to prove their worth first
UK MOBILE OPERATOR Vodafone announced an initiative on Tuesday to bring a 3G boost to 100 of the country's rural "notspots".
Vodafone won't be dishing 3G out recklessly, though. The firm has pledged to bring the 3G boost, which will see the installation of its Open Sure Signal technology, to the UK's keenest villages and hamlets (PDF).
Vodafone has already completed 12 similar pilot projects, bringing mobile internet to more than 10,000 people for the first time.
The company is calling for communities to work together, in partnership with their local MP, to apply for the boost, which will involve selecting a "Village Champion" to lead the project, identifying suitable sites where the Open Sure Signal equipment can be installed and obtaining permissions from landlords to use those sites.
The mobile operator said that in the 100 "notspots" that prove their worth, it will cover the cost of the installation and equipment, which will see around four or five Open Sure Signal femtocells hooked up in any chosen area.
There are a couple of small downsides to the initiative, however. A £30 electricity fee must be paid by the community annually, the "notspot" must be able to provide a 4Mbps internet connection for the femtocells to access and, perhaps unsurprisingly, users must be on the Vodafone network to benefit from the Vodafone network service.
Vodafone UK CEO Jeroen Hoencamp seemed pretty pleased with the plan, however, saying, "This is an opportunity for people to make a real difference to their community and to be part of our commitment to close the digital divide between rural and urban areas.
"Bringing mobile coverage and mobile internet to rural areas gives communities a real boost - both economically and socially. I;m looking forward to seeing the successful communities light up and start to experience the benefits mobile connectivity will bring to each and every community involved."
Minister for culture, communications and creative industries Ed Vaizey added, "Mobile coverage can make a huge difference particularly to more rural and isolated communities. Vodafone's Open Sure Signal technology offers communities the chance to transform their lives by bringing them technology many of us take for granted.
"I urge people to work together with their MPs to take this opportunity and bring mobile coverage to their homes." µ

I just purchased a used Diamondback Expert 9-speed with a Shimano Tiagra Flight Deck set up. I think I did okay for $200, which included the shoes and helmet. This is my first road bike. I did a tear down on it, cleaned, decreased and polished all of the components and reassembled the bike. The only piece that needed to be replaced was a front derailleur. I went to the LBS and purchased a direct replacement, a Shimano FD-4503. I can't seem to get it to go into the to chainring.
After reading the enclosed instructions, searching this site, watching You-Tube videos, visiting Park Tools Website an Shimano's webiste, I have:
1. Installed the front derailleur, setting the gear teeth hight using the attached pro-set gauge.
2. With the chain on the largest sprocket in the rear, set the clearance on the FD between the chain guard and the chain on the smallest chainring.
3. With the shifter in the lowest chainring setting (tension released by depressing the black shifter lever several times), reattached the shifter cable.
4. Expecting to set the outer limit on the largest chainring, shifted the silver/grey shifter once to get it into the center chainring, and then a second time. Unfortunately, it did not shift into the largest chainring. I have tried to use the upper limit screw but that doesn't help.
Any thoughts?

Let me use a piece of code and a more succinct description instead.
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image as im
real_img = im.open('test.jpg').convert('L') #comment the .convert('L') and it no longer works
old_img = np.array(real_img)
new_img = np.zeros(old_img.shape)
for i_row in xrange(old_img.shape[0]):
for i_col in xrange(old_img.shape[1]):
new_img[i_row][i_col] = old_img[i_row][i_col]
new_real_img = im.fromarray(new_img).convert('L') #comment the .convert('L') and it no longer works
This code just takes an image and tries to copy it (in my code I'm doing more than that, but this is enough for the example as this illustrates my problem). If you run it as is (with an image called 'test.jpg' at the same folder), it works. However, if you remove the
convert('L') on the two lines it appears, it no longer works. I also can't convert it to
'RGB' or some other useful format.
So the problem seems that I can't use ndarrays with PIL as long as I'm using color images. Is there a way to fix this?

NO PARTICULATE PLACE TO GO: Why the Air is So (Ob)Noxious in Beijing (Part III )
Of all the unpredictable-and highly volatile--competitors who will show up for the 2008 Olympics, none are going to be more fearsome than the 3-Hs of Haze, Heat and Humidity. While the latter two are a highly predictable fixture of the Beijing summer, it's The Haze (pollution) that promises to most affect the athletes (and the spectators!). That's because athletes in particular increase their level of ventilation with many track and field and endurance sports-and deliver a larger quantity of pollutants to the airways.
So, as each Olympic athlete no doubt evaluates his or her competition, let's look at the inside story around Haze and why it's the "wild card" no one wants to face during the Games.
The Chinese government, which represents 16 of the "Top 20" most polluted cities in the world, has been working hard to convince everyone that the severe air pollution in Beijing is improving and that it will not adversely affect the health of athletes in the Olympics. Recently, it reported that emissions of three of the most important pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter had begun to decline.
While that may reflect a certain truth, China's overall emissions and associated pollution levels remain very high. And, they promise to grow substantially for many years to come because they are bound to the country's strong economic growth engine and its particular mix of industry and power sources.
Here's The Haze three component breakdown-and why there is absolutely nothing that any competitor can do to control the unnatural forces at work:
1. First, there's NO2 and SO2 (Nitrogen and Sulfur Dioxide) from factory emissions.
China depends heavily on coal as an energy source and has experienced rapid growth in some of the planet's biggest polluting industrial sectors, for example, cement, aluminum and plate glass. Eighty percent of the world's coal demand (for factories) comes from China. Twenty per cent of its emissions come from cement kilns, essential for growing construction needs. And when NO2 combines with oxygen in sunlight and hot temperatures, it forms ozone, the main component of smog. Ozone is a very noxious respiratory irritant that adversely affects lung function and performance. As ozone levels in the air rise, so do emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
2. Next, there's CO (Carbon Monoxide) from vehicle emissions.
China has become the world's third-largest car manufacturer and automobiles have become the country's leading air pollution source, including the 3.29 million in Beijing. Eighty percent of carbon monoxide (CO) comes from these vehicle emissions. CO is harmful and adversely affects performance because it reduces oxygen delivery to the body's organs and tissues. It is particularly harmful to those who suffer from respiratory and heart diseases.
3. And, last but certainly not least, there's Particulate Matter generated from construction dust and diesel exhaust.
Air quality experts calculate that up to 90 percent of deaths from air pollution in China are caused by tiny particles of soot, part of the Particulate Matter (PM) family of solids or liquids suspended in a gas. The biggest contributors in cities are ultra fine, airborne particles of diesel exhaust. Biggest natural sources of PM are dust, volcanoes and forest fires; biggest human contributors are the burning of fuels in internal combustion engines in automobiles and power plants, and wind-blown dust from construction sites and other land areas where water or vegetation has been removed.
PM levels in the air around Beijing--which sits in a basin that, depending on the wind direction, fills with smoke from factories or dust from construction sites or the Mongolian plains-may affect competitors in specific events on a day-by-day basis. PM inflames airways, sinuses, and eyes and can affect health and performance. Increased PM levels are linked to health hazards such as airway inflammation, a decline in lung function and possibly reduced overall longevity.
Speaking of The Haze collective and component effects on Olympic athletes, what about the three million visitors expected in Beijing to attend The Games? Spectators should limit their exercise because of the pollution and smog levels.... especially those with pre-existing heart or lung conditions. Those with asthma should take extra precautions, for example, a pre-trip visit to their physician to evaluate their lung function and devise a treatment plan should symptoms be triggered. Ditto for spectators with heart conditions.
To give you an idea of what athletes and visitors are facing, the following is a pollution level history from four of the past five Olympiads.

Running with the 3Hs--Maximizing Performance and Minimizing Short-Term Health Risks (Part 2)
For many Olympic endurance athletes who have prepared for years striving for medals and world-record times, Beijing's air pollution may present three vastly underrated competitors far tougher than any other athlete.
Their names: The "3Hs"--Haze, Heat and Humidity. On their own or collectively, they can prevent the kind of superior performance an elite athlete has worked so hard to create for the world's greatest multi-sport event. Plus present some short-term health risks.
Beijing's "3H" days are typically ones for which there are health advisories against outdoor exertion, especially for those with asthma and other respiratory conditions, heart disease, as well as the very young and elderly. It's definitely worth mentioning, that, as a matter of standard practice, pulmonologists would strongly emphasize that even "mere mortals" avoid any strenuous outside activities during these types of days.
Okay, most aspiring Olympians didn't spend the last four years complaining about the polluted environment they would face, they trained hard to bring their greatest performances and compete with the world's best.
So here's what Olympians need to know about maximizing performance and minimizing short-term health risks in Beijing:
1. Approximately one of four or five elite athletes have exercise-induced asthma. Anyone who has the least bit of concern about occasional breathing difficulty or cough during or soon after exertion should get checked out PRONTO. Since use of many asthma medications is closely regulated under the strict IOC anti-doping regulations, medical documentation of exercise-induced asthma must be completed prior to arrival in Beijing. Ditto for a therapeutic use exemption.
2. It's critical that an athlete with asthma have the condition under excellent control before arriving in Beijing. A careful review and tweak of the individualized treatment plan in partnership with a pulmonologist (lung doctor) or asthma specialist can be accomplished in quick order. Most importantly, the athlete should also have a contingency asthma plan ready to put into effect should air quality begin to trigger asthma symptoms.
3. Athletes should train in non- or less polluted areas, for example, Japan or South Korea, prior to the event. This action protects the lungs and airways from unneccessary irritation and inflammation, as well as a decline in lung function that occurs with exposure to pollution.
4. From the time athletes arrive in Beijing, they should utilize a high-tech activated carbon filtration mask that filters out a minimum of 80% of the main air pollutants. Utilize it until just prior to the event.
5. Olympians should maintain a well-balanced diet but immediately begin to incorporate foods rich in anti-oxidants (i.e., fish oil, fatty fish) and Vitamins C (i.e., fruits and vegetables) and Vitamin E (i.e., nuts, if not allergic). The objective: protect against some of the airway inflammation triggered by inhaling the hazy, polluted air.
6. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Does this exhortation bear repeating under the circumstances? OK, so hydrate! The excessive heat (greater than 90 degrees) and humidity (greater than 95%) in Beijing at this time of year sets the stage for heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Ditto for sporting event spectators and attendees!
And while the Chinese authorities appear to be diligently applying an extra-strength series of "clean air" temporary bandaids in time for the Olympic Games, they are clearly offered in the face of long-term environmental challenges facing a rapidly growing, newly industrialized nation. Thus far, the Chinese have spent more than 17 billion dollars in an effort to decrease air pollution. In advance of opening ceremonies, they plan to halve the more than 3 million cars normally on the road, toughen car emission standards, regulate the opening and closing times of gas stations and shut down factories and major construction sites.
Despite these best laid plans, the problem remains that Olympic athletes cannot train for pollution. So what should the mantra in the interim become for the Olympic athlete with asthma? Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst... to maximize performance, minimize risk.

Canucks start trip on right footby Dan Rosen / NHL.com
"It's a huge confidence boost for our team to come in here (Prudential Center) and get two points. It's the first game of an important road trip for our team and we were in a tough building against a great team. We really wanted to come in here and establish something good to kick off a huge road trip for us."
-- Roberto Luongo
The relief was almost palpable.
Vancouver, 4-8 on the road coming into Wednesday's game, is a team that has to play 14 straight games away from GM Place, home of the Olympic hockey tournament, later this season. At some point before that daunting challenge the Canucks have to develop a reputation of being a tough road team by playing consistently well.
They might be in the process of doing that right now.
Going back to an 8-2 win over Colorado in the final game of what amounted to a 2-3 trip last month, Vancouver has now outscored the home team 13-4 over its last two games. The Canucks were outscored, 38-22, in their previous 11 road games.
Vancouver still has three games left on their current trip starting Thursday in Philadelphia.
"It's a huge confidence boost for our team to come in here (Prudential Center) and get two points," Vancouver goalie and captain Roberto Luongo said after making 27 saves. "It's the first game of an important road trip for our team and we were in a tough building against a great team. We really wanted to come in here and establish something good to kick off a huge road trip for us."
They did by jumping out to a 3-0 lead just 12 and a half minutes into the game, but even more important is how the Canucks battled back after the Devils struck for two goals at the end of the first period, including Travis Zajac's marker with only six seconds left.
"We approached the second like we were up 1-0 and wanted to make sure we kept going and played a better second than we have in the past, especially recently, and we did an alright job," Canucks left wing Alex Burrows said. "Going into the third we didn't want to sit back. We wanted to keep pushing to get that next goal. We did and we never looked back."
Alex Edler scored 1:36 into the third period and Jannik Hansen made it 5-2 less than four minutes later. The Canucks, though, played the perfect road game for the last 40 minutes.
They played smart hockey by not turning the puck over and giving the Devils odd-man chances. They forechecked hard and got the puck behind the Devils defense. They sent bodies to the net. They created turnovers. They clogged the passing lanes.
"Good teams win on the road and we're a good team," Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. "We're set out to prove it."
Since he got to Vancouver at the start of the 2006-07 season, Luongo can't remember a time when the team struggled on the road like it has until recently.
The Canucks were 23-15-3 on the road in his first season, 18-18-5 in his second and 21-15-5 last season. That's a 62-48-13 road record, which is pretty darn respectable. It's better than .500 even if you count the 13 overtime/shootout losses and regular losses.
That type of success gives the goalie reason to believe the Canucks will bounce back from their rocky road start to this season. He had even more hope after Wednesday's convincing win over one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.
Imagine how he'll feel Thursday if the Canucks can win in Philadelphia, too?
"I just think it's a bit of an aberration," Luongo said. "It's going to be key that we establish something good on the road leading up to that (14-game trip). We have always been a confident team on the road so I don't think it's an issue of being intimated or anything like that. We just have to play our game."
They did in Colorado on Nov. 14 and again in Jersey Wednesday night. Now the task is to keep it going against the hungry Flyers, who are 8-4-1 in their own building.

We love this movie. Sure it's a bit sappy, but it's fun, cute, funny and maybe it hits my mild-aged ass more than others?
According to BoxOfficeMojo, it debuted at #1 with an opening-weekend haul of $39,699,023.00, out of a total domestic gross of $168,273,550.00. It did an additional $85,351,877.00 in foreign receipts.
Descent (horror movie) - wife and I really enjoyed it, great atmosphere and loved the original ending that didn't get changed in the uk to appease the I need a happy ending groups.
How did The Reef do? I thought that wasn't a bad flick, but found it by accident while surfing Netflix. Very tense.
Yeah, if anything, The Descent did better than it deserved in the UK. Certainly on the critical side of things.Was too over-the-top for me, but I seem to recall lots of people liking this one upon release. I think it got decent (crazy pun!) recognition all things considered.
If someone had told me that Martin Freeman, Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel, Bill Nighy, Mos Def, Alan Rickman, and John Malkovich were going to make an post-apocalyptic* outer space comedy romp based on a beloved science fiction series, I would have been ecstatic. If that someone said he saw some footage and it featured spectacular special effects, enormous energy from the actors, and an understated environmental message behind the far-out premise, I would have salivated on the carpet.
If that someone then told me that it got middling reviews (60% Rotten Tomatoes score), modest box office, and then vanished from the popular collective consciousness, I would say that that movie deserved better.
I'm not saying it was the best movie ever, or the career best of those involved. I liked the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie, but I think I would have liked it more if I wasn't comparing it to the books, radio plays, and Infocom game. The fault was not in the stars, but in myself. Anyway, it deserved better.
Don't get me started on Out of Sight or the Director's Cut of Kingdom of Heaven, though!
* post-apocalyptic seeing as how the Earth had done been blown up.

I paid money to see that in a proper theater and felt cheated for it, but YMMV.
I've only seen the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven and totally loved it. Hitchhiker's guide though....meh...
Kingdom of Heaven was awful (and awfully pretty), regardless of version - imo.
