Fanny Brice hit stardom in the 1920s and, almost a century later, still inspires the public imagination. Ted Sperling, the music director of the 2008 revival South Pacific, pays tribute to Fanny with a night of songs she put on the Broadway map—classics like "Second Hand Rose" and "My Man" —as well as ones she inspired in Funny Girl. So, why'd you rather be blue? Come join us!

"Funny Girl Debunked: Fanny Brice Facts," by John Kenrick; a list of 26 facts about Fanny Brice that the movie didn't quite get right. For example:
No. 6. Fanny was fired from a chorus by Broadway legend George M. Cohan. He dropped Brice from the Broadway cast of Talk of the Town because she could not dance. To cover her disappointment, Fanny claimed she was dumped because of her "skinny legs." That incident inspired the Keeney (vaudeville theater) scenes in the musical.

This is my sixth program for the Lyrics & Lyricists series, and after concerts on "Yip" Harburg, Frank Loesser, Sammy Cahn, Hoagy Carmichael, and Songs of America, I decided to build my latest concert around a legendary performer—Fanny Brice. Fanny was a singular talent. She could make you howl with laughter singing "Second Hand Rose," and then move you to tears with "My Man." She appeared in nine editions of the Ziegfeld Follies over the course of a quarter century, holding her own in sketches with W. C. Fields, Bert Williams, Will Rogers and Eddie Cantor. A maverick who was not conventionally pretty and had no training to speak of, Fanny made a very rapid ascent in show business and managed her career with a canny eye and a steely determination. She not only supported herself through her hard work on stage, she ran a successful dressmaking business on the side, and essentially raised her two children herself, despite having had three husbands!
The vaudeville stars we remember the best are the ones who made the successful transition to the newer media of radio, film and, later, television. Huge stars like Nora Bayes and Eva Tanguay are virtually unknown to audiences today because they never made that transition. Fanny did not fare well in Hollywood, despite a few wonderful performances, most notably as herself in the 1936 The Great Ziegfeld, and in the sketch, "A Sweepstakes Ticket," with Hume Cronyn and William Frawley in 1945's Ziegfeld Follies. Thanks to her radio show "Baby Snooks," the Broadway musical Funny Girl, and the films Funny Girl and Funny Lady, she remains a household name, more than a century since her birth. And of course, she was the perfect inspiration for another singular talent, Barbra Streisand, to the point that it's hard to separate our memory of Fanny from the indelible performances of Ms. Streisand.
Today, 50 years after the premiere of Funny Girl on Broadway, join me in celebrating the life and work of a comic genius who paved the way for many of the funny women we all grew up loving: Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin and so many others.
—Ted Sperling

Here's the quote, from the 1960's:
"Up at Fulton and Scott is a great shambling old Gothic house, a freaking decayed giant, known as The Russian Embassy"
And here she is now, getting one shade of muddy green replaced with another:
Click to expand
It would take me all summer to paint this monster…
UPDATE: Apparently, someone spray painted "NO PERMIT PARKING IN ALAMO SQUARE" on the side of this hulk last month. As opposed to just hanging a sign? Would a frustrated, car-owning Alamo Square NIMBY do that to a house as an ironic punishment or did the owners themselves do it? It's a mystery. Haighteration, the Lower Haight Blog, has the latest on the issue of the SFMTA's horrible horrible permit parking scheme.*
*I'm eligible to pay MUNI $104 per year for a permit but I don't believe in the system so I don't buy the permit. I'm sure the SFMTA would love to jack up the cost to like $1000 but they can only charge a "fee" based on expenses. I believe that the "expenses" included the pay, benefits and retirement of 15 Parking Control Officers / meter maids but I don't know that for sure. Quite sneaky to do that, SFMTA.

Interpretive Handbook
9312 :
pH, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Urine pH is a measure of the acidity/alkalinity of urine, and by itself usually provides little useful information. Under normal conditions its value is influenced by the type of diet (some diets: eg, diets rich in meat-having more acid content than others; eg, vegetarian diets). Assessment of urine pH may be useful in the evaluation of systemic acid-base disorder. For example, the normal response during metabolic acidosis is a lowering of the urine pH to less than 5. If it is >5, then a defect in urine acidification should be considered. Often a urine pH above 7 is suggestive of infection of a urea splitting organism such as proteus mirabilis. Monitoring of urine pH may also be helpful during therapeutic interventions to either alkalinize the urine (such as for treatment of uric acid nephrolithiasis) or acidify the urine. Finally, when assessing crystalluria, noting the urine pH may be helpful since some crystals have a propensity to form in alkaline urine while others form in relative acidic urine.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessment of patients with metabolic acidosis
Assessment of crystalluria
Monitoring the effectiveness of alkalinization or acidification of urine for certain medical conditions (eg, treatment of uric acid nephrolithiasis)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Dependent on clinical condition.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A pH >7 suggests the present of urinary tract infection with a urea splitting organism.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

2013 Cambria "Katherine's Vineyard" Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay
Review Date: 08-24-2015
The barrel toast shows up here as just slightly burnt apple pie crust. An appealing note of pie glaze enters, with cinnamon spice, but the apples are elusive: I thought the flavor trended more toward pear tart. On the palate, the oak returns. Neither particularly "buttery" nor quite lean and zippy, this Chardonnay is ripe for just the right food-pairing.
Price: $16.99
2011 Bott-Geyl "Les Eléments" Riesling Alsace
Review Date: 06-03-2015
I love a dry wine with a sweet aroma, and this Riesling shows a note of orange blossom honey, dried apricots and white raisins on the aroma, yet it's crisp and darn near fully dry on the back end. There's more honey and pollen than outright fruit here, and the finish is firm, but not terribly austere. I enjoyed this wine; it's a bit in the same camp as the 2012 Tatomer Sisquoc, actually.
Price: $18.99
2012 Black Estate Riesling Waipara Valley
Review Date: 05-29-2015
I am a fan of dry NZ/Aussie Riesling and I approve of this wine. The technical notes say it has 10.9 grams/liter residual sugar, but you wouldn't know it--although the aroma is all honeycomb marinated in lime juice, and floral, with a note of sugar-coated lime candies and mineral oil just shy of "petrol," all of it fairly subtle. I taste the faintest ghost of a peach within the lime, and the acidity is vibrant without being sharp. It's light and buoyant on the palate. If you like the Pewsey Vale Museum Reserve or the Wittmann Estate Rheinhessen, you may approve of this wine, as well.
Price: Hidden
Talisker Distiller's Edition Isle of Skye Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 03-07-2015
Of all the expressions of Talisker I've enjoyed so far, I believe that this may be my favorite. It's got the ashy peat, the caramel and sherry, and the chili pepper heat. My tasting notes don't record a kippers/smoked fish character, however: more like cream soda, cinnamon spice, and peat that smells like a spaded-up dry lawn, not like the iodine or burning leather like some Islay single malts that you may have tried. If you would like to sniff some smoky peat in your whisky, but don't like it too dry, hot, or ashy, I recommended Talisker, by all means: get both the Talisker 10 and the Distillers for comparison; both are immediately enjoyable on the caramel-sherry, subtle smoky peat and salty sense-of-place spectrum. 2002 version, bottled 2013.
Price: $79.99
Bowmore 12 year old Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 03-05-2015
I'm pretty pleased with the standard Bowmore 12, in fact, just a little beyond expectations, for the price. I have to agree with Enthusiast's mention of the cookie dough in the background, but there's also a bit of wet plaster, rancio and roasted walnut lurking--a hint of some of the older, single barrel expressions. It's drier and less "maritime" than Talisker 10, and the peat is more ashy like an Ardmore Traditional Cask or Lagavulin 16. A nice cabinet standby, or at least a reference point.

Highland Park 12 year old, Isle of Orkney Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 02-24-2015
The malty, soft, cereal grain and butterscotch aroma of the Highland Park 12 is imbued with a whisper of peat that draws one in to a deeper place. For me, it's the long-ago memory of an oceanside cottage--opening the door, the cupboards, the aroma was always familiar and comforting yet distant, salty, and of the sea. That's Highland Park, to me: a straightforward butter cookie of a whisky, but the window's open just a crack, and you can smell the sea and heather coming in.

Highland Park "Dark Origins" Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 01-14-2015
Highland Park peat is like no other that I've encountered, so far, on my whisky journey. And this whisky's response to a heavy dose of sherry is singular, too. "Dark Origins" is a NAS (no age statement) single malt, and as I understand it, many people have reservations and/or criticisms of this genre of whisky. Certainly, the opaque black bottle, the price point, and the "outlaw" backstory may set off some alarms, for some. Caution--am I being marketed to? Yes, but here's what I found: Highland Park don't fool around. This is a medium-bronze hue, not luridly dark (the label says, a naturally dark hue but does not specifically say it's not colored; it does state non-chill filtered). The peat aroma is of a floral, gentle heather sort, not a hot, burning heather like some young Islay peaters; there's milk chocolate, too, accenting the perfumy sherry--no walnut or rancio character, here. Like an HP 21-year that I sampled last year, this retains its applejack character to the last, but it's so refined, it's like the champagne of whiskies--the warmth spreads slowly across the palate, instead of quickly burning a retronasal path out and up. Maybe, eventually, I'll appreciate the more subtle, ethereal whiskies for what they are, but for now, this is like my perfect fantasy of what Highland Park can be--the subtle grace, plus a wee bit more stuffing.

Glendronach 12 year old Distillery Bottling Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 01-04-2015
This whisky just keeps getting better, in my estimation. Rich and sherried, reminiscent of summer and winter treats: caramel apples and roasted, candied nuts. The Glendronach 12 has spicy, rum-raisin aromas, roasted nuts--filberts, Brazil nuts--and baked apple and pear notes, which repeat on the palate, so cotton-candy smooth, and the fruit flavors deepen toward the dry, smoky finish. Similar to: Aberlour 16. More flavor than: Glenlivet 12. Fiercer, less smooth than: Macallan 12 or Glenmorangie 10. More easygoing but in a somewhat similar profile to: Glendronach Allardice, Aberlour A'Bunadh. A standby, a classic. UPDATE: I have tried the Glendronach 15 Year Port-finished edition, a really svelte, nice dram, for sure, but I STILL prefer the 12 Year. If you like rich, nutty, sherried single malt, you really ought to try the Glendronach 12.

1998 Mortlach 16 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Sherry Butt Finish Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 12-23-2014
It is a peculiarity that there's still plenty of this old Mortlach available, while the pricier 25 year Blair Athol that came in about the same time is completely sold out. Exactly the opposite has occurred in my liquor cabinet, after I purchased both: The Mortlach is going much faster than the near-full Blair Athol. The latter may be more concentrated, with rancio and spicy wood notes, but the Mortlach is silkier, with butterscotch warmth and a piney top note. I even prefer it to the current Glenfarclas 105.

Aberlour 12 Year Old Non Chillfiltered Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 12-22-2014
It's been many months since I had the normal Aberlour 12, so I can't remember if it's something that I want to forget exists--if that makes sense! But what I can sense is this: the Aberlour non-chill-filtered 12 is redolent of chocolate chip cookie dough, a chocolate cordial with gooey orange liqueur filling, and a medium measure of rancio-fancy sherry wood. A little spicy on the finish, but not too much, it's well blended, nicely oily--if you like that--and is a nice stand-in for, or contrast to, the lovely but only slightly higher-priced 16-year. All in all, this has the Aberlour power.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 12-05-2014
For sure, the next time I have enough spare change to be able to decide between purchasing a Talisker 18 or the Corry, I am likely to experience some cognitive dissonance--and I mean before I have had any whisky! UPDATE: After first sampling the Corryvreckan, I was able to purchase a bottle and am very happy with it. This whisky presents luxe aromas of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of chocolate liqueur, haunted by a roasted seaweed, smoked fish and bacon sort of peatiness. If you've tried the Ardbeg 10 but felt it was just somewhat too aggressively peaty for you, at least for now, check out this one. It's got all the soft, lovely smoky beauty of a Talisker Distiller's, say, but with a spicier, cinnamon mint finish--like a younger Islay, like our Kilchoman single barrels, for instance. If you don't mind a hot finish, and love a single malt that tantalizes your nose with seductive, smoky and sweet aromas, this is it.

Balvenie 12 year old Single Barrel Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 07-15-2014
Lovers of Glenlivet and Glenfiddich who are looking for something a little different and even a little prettier on the palate might look here. The Balvenie 12 single barrel has a light hue, with pretty aromas of wildflower honey, dates and dried figs, with buttery pear, and a really nice, silky finish. I enjoyed this Balvenie.

Balcones Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 07-11-2014
I would seriously never have considered a Texas single malt whisky unless it was sitting in front of me, nearly daring me, saying, hey, I dare ya. What a surprise. A surprisingly developed aroma of roasted walnut, with a deep, darkly sherried palate that reminds me a little of, say, the Cragganmore 23, but with cinnamon spice, too--not in a bourbony way. This rich, dark single malt may be not quite as complex of some of our older, nutty Scotch single malts, but it is a really great effort from the single star, I mean the Lone Star state.
Price: $74.99
Kilchoman K&L Exclusive Single Bourbon Barrel #74 Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 07-11-2014
Wow, this is a spicy, forward, yet ethereal whisky with a distinctive personality, indeed. Mr. Driscoll got it right about the cinnamon Red Hots aroma that hits your nose on the wind of a burning field of flowering heather. My only previous taste of Kilchoman was a wee airplane bottle of young, lightly heathery whisky; this one's richer, and more sure of itself--the only comparison I can make is with Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated.

Isle Of Skye 12 year old Matured Scotch Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 06-25-2014
Yes, this really does have a bit of the Talisker character. With a hint of orange rind over slightly smoky, bacon scone-y sweet characteristics, it's a fine Scotch on the rocks that retains some of its grain alcohol character while offering something more interesting than a lot of blended Scotches. But it's not a substitute for single malt Talisker: while I may enjoy it as a Scotch on ice from time to time, I follow it up, when I can, with a nice Talisker 10 or Distiller's Edition--neat!

Lagavulin 16-year-old Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 06-17-2014
Earthy, smoky, ashy, and underneath it all, sweet and chewy. I waited nearly a month and a half after opening the Lagavulin 16 to review it; I figured it would reveal itself over time, that this lion would lamb out a bit. Well. I agree that it is defiantly smoky (as Dave Broom says), like a hearth, with some caramel candy and smoked meats like, say, the Talisker 10 (aka the Precious...in my regard) on the tongue. Nosing is hot and spicy, and the finish is like hot smoke. Richer, with less thin, iodine character than some Islay single malts--maybe a hint of singed seaweed. A serious Islay at a whacky good price.

Ardbeg Uigeadail Traditional Strength Islay Single Malt Whisky
Review Date: 06-05-2014
Recommended for those with a love for--or a tolerance that may blossom at some time in the indeterminate future--peaty, sherry-influenced single malt. After I had tasted a sample of the Ardbeg Uigeadail and sort of gave it thumbs down in my personal notes, later I purchased a whole bottle and followed it over a while. Why? There's just something about it. There's dried seaweed, some plaster from a seaside cottage renovation, perhaps, some dried fish on a grill fired by beach brush. And mid to high-toned sherry underneath. But there's more, and whatever that more is, it keeps me coming back from time to time.

Glendronach 15 year old "Revival" Distillery Bottling Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 06-05-2014
I like Scotch ale, the "wee heavy" beer, and I like this Glendronach 15-year "Revival." It's more than a wee bit richer than the 12. It's spicy, and smoky; candy apples smoking cigarettellos at a pumpkin pie party. Comparisons? Here's my take: Spicier than Glendronach 12; not quite as intense as Aberlour A'bunadh....but getting there. Way more fiery than Macallan 12, but super sherried and rich. A sort of Lagavulin 16 ashiness on the palate, perhaps. A powerfully inviting detour.

Talisker 10 year old Isle of Skye Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 04-29-2014
Goodness, I love the Talisker 10. It hits just about every note that I want to hear, when a single malt sings to me. To get an idea of whether it will sing for you, here's the way I came about it: After ignoring whisky for a decade-plus in favor of wine, I rediscovered scotch. I set about finding out what I liked, what I didn't, and what grew on me. I like sweet, sherried single malts, but I also like smoky peat--not too much--and most importantly, a sea shore, briny sense of place. This is Talisker 10, in a nutshell, a light amber, buttery, butterscotchy single malt smelling of scones baked with smoked ham, somewhere near the sea shore. Finishes hot and spicy, but like they say about Talisker, more like nice, spicy "chili pepper" than just plain alcohol heat. It's always a fun dram.
Price: $49.99
Springbank 15 year old, Distillery Bottling Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 04-28-2014
Richer and more mellow than: Port Charlotte Peat. Much less peaty than: Talisker 10. Kinda maybe like: Cragganmore 12. I got butterscotch candy and salty, nutty notes a little like a Jura whisky from a sample of this dram; it's got nice lemony, butterscotchy notes that are appealing.

Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 04-28-2014
It's like sipping an artisanal lemon drop cocktail while a hay field burns around me; it's heather and honey dressed in blonde suede; it's too hot to handle--or is it? (from a sample) This is a light, bright, and high-toned smoky spirit, not on the dark side of peaty drams, that is for sure. But it is alive and interesting.

Bowmore 15 year old Darkest Sherry Casked Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 04-28-2014
"Amber. Whoa. Campfire...peaty fire...suede jacket (nice, not Laphroaig shoe); smoked ham. Some old deli memory, 70s, 80s?" That was my first impression of the Bowmore 15 "Darkest" from a 30cl sample. Later I purchased a full bottle. Initial impressions were consistent: It's a meaty, dry, savory single malt. There's a strong, sherried, rum-raisin component, for sure. There's intensity, but don't expect peatiness like an Ardbeg or Laphroaig. To put it in perspective, I'd say: Dryer and meatier than Talisker 10; may appeal to fans of Glendronach 15 Revival, though smoky; maybe, maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of Lagavulin 16. The last of my notes read, "Have to revisit!"
Price: $74.99
Laphroaig 10 year old Islay Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 04-25-2014
Caution! And good news! True, we're trying to sell some single malt here, but to those customers who have not delved into peaty single malts much, I would counsel caution and/or patience, and here's why: I purchased the classic Laphroaig 10 early in my single malt rediscovery series...probably after the mellow Balvenie 12. Holy burning shoe leather! The level, and character of the peat is so serious, it almost made my eyes sting. So I left it alone for a long time, revisiting it from time to time. And eventually, I noticed the richness underneath. The sweet caramel. The seaweed. The beauty...of that burning shoe. By the last few drams, I was almost telling the Laphroaig 10 how sorry I was that I had misunderstood it...but I didn't have that many drams.

Aberlour - A'Bunadh Cask Strength Single Malt 750ml
Review Date: 04-25-2014
Talk about having your cake and eating your whisky, too. I can't get over how bourbony this scotch is: spicy, cinnamon, allspice and cardamon; Christmas spice cake, intense rancio, sherried nose, and...bourbon. Good bourbon. I know, according to Aberlour, it's aged in all Oloroso sherry barrels. But this one (Batch #46) reminds me of my last Four Roses Single Barrel. Because I'm more of a Balvenie 12 fan, the A'Bunadh is long-lived in my bar. But bourbon fans who haven't ventured back to scotch for a while might want to start here. It is delicious. (And at this proof, a little ice doesn't hurt!)

I know about at least one "sensus plenior" interpretation of the "new song" in Psalm 149, but I have never heard a plausible explanation on what the author intended and how it was understood by his contemporaries.

If we accept that this Psalm was most likely written at the time of the restoration under Ezra and Nehemiah, 'a new song' was probably understood as a new hope of the full restoration of Israel as in the days of David and Solomon.
Israel used various songs everyday to extoll the praises of God, but in remarkable periods of new blessings one should aptly recognize it in a new song, not just a repetition of the same songs that only recognize blessings past. A fresh hope and reason for singing is expressed by the term.
A similar expression is in Psalms 33:3, 40:3 and 92:1 and other places.

GOOD PICTURES, EASY TO USE, LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE Pros: EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION BOOKLET, EASY TO USE Cons: MAY BE GREY MARKET UNIT...NO WARANTY CARD ENCLOSED 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Plenty of bang for the buck Written By Frank D, Mandeville, LA on Friday, December 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Most importantly, the photos are vibrant and detailed, color is natural. Bought this for my 13 year old aspiring photographer and, although fully point-and shoot is great, it has plenty of manual settings that she can use to learn how to tweak a photo. She learned most of the camera's features in a day - so it is easy to use. She especialy loves the fold out LCD screen and having the option of using the viewfinder. And she really enjoys all the great on-camera editting and creative tools. I like the 26 x optical zoom which is smooth and fast. And, finally, I get to be in a few photos and collages! For this price, its best in class and gets my 5 star. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

3.1 Phillip Lim / Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
With global warming wrecking havoc on the seasons, the threat of major changes looms larger than ever over New York City. Designer Phillip Lim had these turbulent forces in his mind's eye for his new 3.1 Phillip Lim collection, drawing inspiration from the brutal beauty of the planet's rawest landscapes—covered entirely in rock salt crystals, the runway itself was reminiscent of a postapocalyptic terrain. "It was about trying to find some stable ground in the turmoil of our ecosystems," said Lim before the show. Visual impressions of Mother Nature were woven into the fabric of the clothes, with geode formations embroidered along the body of bomber jackets and sweaters in watery shades of blue. One suede vest shimmered with a green glaze like a sheet of oxidized metal, and bleached denim motorcycle jackets had the appearance of sun-scorched earth. The elemental feeling continued through the silhouette of the collection and A-line skirts and dresses provided a clean and simple baseline.
Ultimately though, Lim didn't lose sight of the practical concerns of his urban stomping ground, and monk-strap loafers and geode-studded hiking sandals were just the kind of comfortably chic shoes you want to wear in a concrete jungle. His neat parcel-like carryalls were a good reminder of his knack with accessories (the designer currently has a CFDA award sitting on his mantelpiece to show for it) and the utilitarian attitude that's been cropping up all week. And it's no surprise that editors were filling up their carts at the press sale for his anticipated new collection for Target which launches this weekend, and is bound to be a sell-out success. Clearly, pinpointing essential pieces in a working wardrobe comes as second nature to Lim.

I think if I were to try and write from a biblical character's POV, I would attempt to delay recognition until near or at the end of the story.
Have a reason for writing from a human POV. If you're teaching a lesson, and the lesson could be taught just as well with animal characters, reconsider.
Seriously, though, I think even adults can be charmed by animals and absorb truth to which they might have been more resistent had the characters been human--a little too close for comfort.
Objects survive much longer than humans, so could serve as somewhat of an omniscient narrator over a wide span of years. Also, objects could "observe" people when they believe that they are unobserved, giving insight to motivations and other feelings of which the reader would not otherwise be aware.

The 2013 Ridley Bikes range
As tradition requires, we are launching our range for the new season on Eurobike in September. This year we have many new features that will surely captivate the audience!
The lightest Ridley frame ever built: The Helium SL
In our stiffness to weight range, we introduce a new flagship: the Helium SL. With its 750 grams, the Helium SL is a lot lighter than the current Helium which has been an established bike in the World Tour peloton for many years. The Helium SL was created after a thoughtful engineering process that allowed us to bring down the weight without losing stiffness. We achieved this by using ultra stiff high modulus carbon which is also used in aviation, and by determining the optimal tube shape so that the frame provides the right stiffness in the right places, while offering the necessary comfort where needed. For the development of the tube form, we have made use of our known "Form follows function" principle. This frame was tested and improved in cooperation with the riders of Lotto-Belisol.
Aerodynamics to the max: The Noah FAST
The Noah FAST has been the showpiece of our aero range since last year. This perfectly streamlined bicycle has three patented technologies that help the cyclist to defeat the wind resistance.
With the F-surface technology, we apply a textured surface to specific places to keep the wind close to the frame and reduce air resistance (same principle as the dimples on a golf ball).
The F-Splitfork leads the headwind away from the spokes and ensures an airflow away from the wheels. The influence of the air flow on the spokes is reduced with less turbulence and drag as a result.
The F-Brake is our latest technology. This is the first fully integrated brake! A normal caliper disrupts the aerodynamics of a bike, but this integrated brake even improves the air flow. The integrated brake allows the F-Splitfork to be extended from dropout to fork crown, so we can reduce the drag even further. Our F-Brake is also lighter than a normal set of brakes, and ensures better braking. In short, this is the first brake that makes you faster!
For our 2013 range, we have improved the Noah FAST even further. For this we could rely on the expertise of the entire Lotto-Belisol team. You can tell this is a very fast and reliable bike by looking at André Greipel, one of the strongest sprinters in the peloton. He catapulted his Noah FAST to sprint victories in many major competitions, including 3 stage victories in the Tour de France.
The pinnacle of strength and stiffness: the Fenix
In the strength range, there are also big changes ahead. The best features of the Damocles and Excalibur, that both were part of the Ridley range for many years, were combined into a single frame: the Fenix. Because of its unique design, the Fenix is a versatile frame, suitable for both competitive and recreational riders. The oversized sharp edge tube construction ensures rigidity, and is extremely strong along the whole frame. André Greipel tested this great all-rounder this season in the Flemish spring classics like Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.
The frame is available in both carbon and aluminum.
New women's range: the Liz
In the women's range, the Asteria and Yana make way for the Liz (carbon) and Liz 7005 (aluminum). These frames use the same technologies as the Fenix, but with a specific geometry for women. A shorter top tube and higher head tube ensure that every woman can easily find her perfect position on the bike. Furthermore, both the seat- and chain stay have flex zones that absorb vibrations from the road. This increases comfort significantly without compromising stiffness. Ideal for both recreational and competitive riders.
Cyclocross bikes with disc brakes
We were the first to introduce a full carbon cross frame, the first to have integrated seat posts, the first to introduce 1-1/8 1-1/2 tapered head tubes, and now we are leading the way in using disc brakes in our cross range. These brakes provide a better braking power, which is very important in cyclocross! With 7 pro world champions since 2002, Ridley has proven to possess the knowhow to make great CX bikes. This is also obvious in the 2013 range.
A completely new MTB range
With all these new developments for 2013, the Ridley MTB range could not stay behind. Our hard tails have been completely renewed and are now available with both 26 and 29 inch wheels. The larger 29 "wheels offer more stability, perfect grip, and let you go down technical descents with confidence. With its "Stable Core Concept" the new top model, the Ignite C, provides a perfect combination of stiffness and power transfer and ensures a high level of comfort because of the advanced carbon construction. Our mountain bikes are available in both carbon and aluminum, and this in various designs.
As you will have noticed, our range has changed a lot this year. We always try to develop innovative bikes that meet all the needs of both competitive and recreational riders, and this on all surfaces. With this 2013 range, we certainly succeeded in our goal!

James S. Fehr, 69, of 7673 Laurel Mill Rd., Ridgway, formerly of Springfield, died at Sena Kean Manor, Smethport on Friday morning, Dec. 21, 2012.
He was born May 15, 1943, in Easton, a son of the late Robert and Madeline Click Fehr.
On March 20, 1965, in Straw Lutheran Church, Phillipsburg, N.J., he married Sandra Miller Fehr, who survives.

JOHNSONBURG – In the wake of the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn., the Johnsonburg Area School District [JASD], like most school districts across the United States, continues to review their safety measures and procedures.
"Our school district has a crisis plan which we constantly are reviewing to ensure the safety of our students, faculty, and support staff," said JASD Superintendent Dennis Crotzer. "My administrative staff has reviewed this plan with their staffs after the unfortunate school shooting in Connecticut.
Jean M. Knight, 70, of Glen Mayo Road, Johnsonburg, died Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012 at UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh after a short illness.
She was born June 12, 1942 in St. Marys, daughter of the late John A. and Edna (Fitch) Erickson.
She married Stanley J. Hasselman, who preceded her in death; and Richard "Dick" Rosenhoover, who preceded her in death.
She lived all of her live in Elk County. She worked at St. Marys Carbon, GE Sylvania, Community Nurses, St. Marys Hospital Medical/Surgical unit and worked as a bartender and caterer. She was a member of Central Hose Company. Â
Gun sales and permit applications are up in Elk County and nationwide, sources say, following the shooting incident at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. last Friday that left 20 children and six adults dead at the school.
Elk County Chief Deputy Sheriff Theresa Merritt said applications for gun permits, which are processed through the sheriff's office, have gone up over the last few years but did not increase significantly since Friday.
Following last week's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left nearly 30 people dead, many of them children, an increased focus has been placed on the issue of gun control. With guns at the forefront of national discussion, an equally important issue-- providing adequate help for those with mental health issues-- has been overshadowed.
