Morsy received his 10th yellow card of the season during the Valiants' 2-0 defeat to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night and the midfielder must serve a two-match ban.
He joins skipper Doug Loft, who will complete a three-match suspension at Bootham Crescent, and defenders Darren Purse (calf) and Dan Jones (knee) on the sidelines.
Also absent will be Ashley Vincent after he was carried off on a stretcher at the Memorial Stadium in midweek.
Vale are still waiting to discover the full extent of Vincent's injury but the winger is not thought to have broken his leg as initially feared.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether Ryan Burge will be involved. The midfielder faces disciplinary action from the club after failing to attend Vale's pre-match meal in Bristol and then breaking the club's social media guidelines after being omitted from the squad.

Patient Comments: Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) - Symptoms
Please describe the symptoms of your premature ventricular contractions.
Comment from: Derek, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: September 17
I first noticed my PVCs about 7 years ago. I literally thought I was having a heart attack because I had never experienced such a thing before. After a trip to the ER, the doctor told me there was nothing to worry about; however, he did recommend that I change my diet, stress load, etc. I made immediate changes, going from 223 lbs down to 180 lbs through proper diet and exercise. Unfortunately, the PVC's never went away. I experience them frequently; sometimes up to 10 per minute. Although I am hardly aware of them during the course of the day, they often haunt me at night, preventing me from falling asleep immediately. Although I find them to be irritating, I know they're not harmful, which provides some relief.
Comment from: 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: September 17
I am 42 years old, in good shape, with normal heart pressure. Four months ago, I underwent examination for sleep apnea that revealed ongoing allergies; treatment of the allergies relieved those symptoms of sleep apnea. After about a month of taking over-the-counter allergy medications, I began to experience all the symptoms of PVC described by others on this list. Like others, I have less trouble when exercising and more when I am resting or lying down. I have cut out the medications and sugar (which seemed to be the worst offender), and cut way back on caffeine. The symptoms have persisted, and an irregular heart now affects my sleeping more than the allergy ever did. What I find most disturbing is the possibility that the allergy medication (loratadine) seems to have triggered the PVC.
Comment from: Shauna, 25-34 Female Published: September 03
I am a 28-year-old female that is healthy and found out about my heart condition when I was 17. This past year my condition has worsened. I have had every test done out there, so I know what that is like. I had the Holter Monitor done about a month ago and they found out that I had 8,690 PVCs within a 24-hour period. That is beyond severe. I am always tired, always sick, feel like I can't breathe very well and my chest feels like it's going to explode sometimes. Very scary! I haven't been to a cardiologist in a long time, but my doctor is finally making me go again to get this checked out.
Comment from: 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: August 27
I am 26 and have been experiencing PVCs for three years. I quit caffeine at the beginning of 2008, which helped, but heavy exercise seems to make it a bit stronger. I am a cyclist and ride at least 10 hours a week. I also find that they are the worst after two days of full rest after a hard block of workouts. Stress, sugar spikes, and some beer and most wine will also make it worse. My PVCs are generally marked by a flutter, then a long pause (and I mean long because my resting pulse is generally 46), then a two- to-three times stronger beat than normal, and then finally back to normal beating. I find they mostly happen at night, and on the nights I have them, they are about two- to-three minutes apart.
Published: August 01
In response to the comment made on July 30th. I too experience everything you listed. Exercise decreases the frequency of the palpitations and rest increases it. I also get the urge to cough at times and will sometimes get a headache or migraine as a result. You are not alone. I am a 32 year old, healthy adult who works in the fitness industry, no history of high blood pressure or heart disease. It seems to come and go most of the time, but when it is active it keeps me awake and interferes with my day to day activities.
Published: July 30
I have recently been diagnosed with PMC. I have no heart disease or high blood pressure, however knowing that does not take away my anxiety related to this condition. I have found that sitting and laying exacerbate the PMC and exercising decreases PMC. I have on average about 15 per minute and get a headache after a while and a tickle feeling that makes me want to cough, can others share their experiences please so I don't feel so alone in dealing with this.

Barrington junior Kristy Dodge wasn't upset with a fourth-place finish at the state tennis tournament last season.
She had lost in straight sets to Hinsdale Central's Nida Hamilton and Carmel's Jasmine Minor. They were the better players, and she understood that. But as she left Prospect High School, the tournament's main site, last October, Dodge promised herself she'd back again, and when she did, she would be good enough to be a state championship contender.
With that as motivation, Dodge dedicated herself to tennis more in the past offseason than she ever had. She played in more junior tournaments. She spent more time with her fitness coach. She ran more. She began lifting weights.
Now, as the end of the tennis season approaches, Dodge will soon discover where she stands against the state's best players.
"I'll let you know if it's worth the hard work after this year," Dodge said.
Barrington coach Tracy Waters knows Dodge didn't waste her time. Waters has always been impressed by Dodge, who qualified for the state tournament as a freshman and sophomore, but that appreciation has gone to a new level this season.
"She's just so good," said Waters, whose Barrington teams have finished amongst the state's top six the past six years. "I can just watch. She just sets up points. You just smile and shake your head.
"She seems to be more focused. She's very focused. She's in better shape. Her shots have been more precise. She sets up her shots, she create her opportunities and she wins points. She's really improved every year."
Dodge has noticed a change in her play. She's become more consistent. She's hitting the ball harder and deeper. She also doesn't get fatigued as often.
To each of her game's advancements, she does credit that extra time she spent preparing for the season.
"After state last season, I felt like I could do more," Dodge said. "There's still more to be accomplished. It definitely took a toll on my life in general [this offseason]. I was just trying to focus as much on tennis. I definitely put more into tennis. This year I'm more determined to go as far as I can than last year."
So far, Dodge hasn't had any trouble with her opponents. She's undefeated through 20-plus matches and has barely been challenged. She defeated Lake Forest's top two singles players, New Trier's No. 1 player and will face Glenbrook North's Hanna Yu, a close friend of hers and a likely state contender, on Saturday.
Hinsdale Central's Hanna Mar and Nida Hamilton are the state singles title favorites. Mar took second two years ago. Hamilton finished second last season. Dodge hasn't played either this season. She was right there with Hamilton in a match this summer and lost in three sets.
"I feel like everybody has their on and off days," Dodge said. "I think anybody can beat anyone on any given day. Last year I think there was a gap between me and Nida. I feel like I can be closer this year. Hanna Mar and Nida Hamilton and Hanna Yu all will be really tough. They want it just as bad I do. At the end of the day, it's all about who has more heart and wants it more."
Colleges have also expressed their interest in Dodge's services. As of Sept. 1, Dodge has heard from a wide variety of schools. For now, she keeps the pile of letters next to her bed and is open to any college. She did mention Princeton and Yale as possible dream destinations. She has also made an unofficial visit to Illinois.
With Dodge being such a high-profile player, everyone wants to beat her -- even her classmates. She is challenged by her classmates, boys and girls, to play one-on-one in their physical education class.
"The kids in the PE class say, 'Bring on Dodge, we can beat her,'" Waters said. "I say, 'You can't. You're not going to beat her.'"

Ethnic Albanian demonstrators burned the Macedonian flag and threw stones at police in clashes that injured at least 10 people Saturday, officials said, as tensions rose after an Albanian ex-guerrilla leader was named Macedonia's defence minister.
"Several people were arrested today... after a violent protest of young members of the Albanian community in Skopje," the Macedonian capital, interior ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski told reporters.
He said at least 10 people including two policemen had been injured in violence that broke out when police used tear gas to disperse several hundred demonstrators who had gathered to voice support for new Defence Minister Talmut Xhaferi, a former head of Albanian guerillas who fought government forces in 2001.
Saturday's rally was a response to a protest by Macedonians held on Friday opposing Xhaferi's appointment. That demonstration also ended in violence.
Xhaferi was named defence minister 11 days ago.
The ethnic Albanian demonstrators burned the Macedonian flag in front of the government seat and threw stones at police.
Several cars were damaged, shop windows broken and a bus set on fire, Kotevski said.
Relations between the two communities in this former Yugoslav republic have improved but are still marred by occasional tensions since a seven-month conflict in 2001 between regime forces and ethnic Albanian rebels.
A peace deal signed in August 2001 gave greater rights to ethnic Albanians, who make up some 25 percent of Macedonia's population of two million.

Together, these reforms will improve the quality of our initiatives and our direct participation. They create what in political science circles is known as an "indirect initiative effect" -- a role for the legislature to foster public comment and active debate, to highlight errors and unintended consequences and fix them, and perhaps to craft policy solutions via legislation.
As technology transforms every facet of our lives, educators are implementing exciting new tools that will help our children learn the critical skills they need and prepare them for the 21st Century economy. California has taken the lead in ensuring these new innovations are incorporated into our classrooms in ways that protect student privacy.

I uploaded a PNG using the inline editor in WP 2.0 and it seems to have boinked the DHTML interface to the image browser (i.e., LINK TO IMAGE, SEND TO EDITOR, etc. links don't show up at all).
New posts, with a new image uploaded seem to be fine. But as soon as I hit "Browse All" it falls over again (no DHTML menu).
Now, without that menu how can I delete the image? I deleted it, perhaps foolishly, from the server, but it's still linked in the DB and this is still making the DHTML not appear - so it may be something else of course.
Sorry if this question exists somewhere else. The WP search engine seems to be having a bad day (a search on "Trackbacks" turned up nothing - I think it's down. Or something).

Historic hotel
... could hope to finish the enormous meals served at the Duvauchelle Hotel. This is tasty, substantial cafe food - nothing grand but well cooked standards such as steaks, fried fish, tender ribs, hearty pies, home-made soups as well as a few international flavours - good, rib-sticking stuff served with a smile in a friendly local pub atmosphere.
There's a big restaurant area with views of the bay that I'm sure fills up at weekends and on holidays but we were there on a quiet mid-week night and that area was deserted so we chose to eat at a table in the bar - much more congenial.
The hotel is an historic old building - one of the very first hotels in the South Island (maybe even the first) - a long, low wooden building on the main road into Akaroa. Walk around the back and you'll find the very attractive looking waterfront accommodation units - this could be a good place to stay.
Favorite Dish: Do you know - I can't remember what I had (definite senior moment there) except it was good. I do remember one of our party being served the biggest plate of ribs I've seen outside the US of A, and he finished every last stickyfingered one of them and sat back with a beatific smile on his face.

A new name
Fresh white paint, a tempting blackboard menu and a new name greeted us when when turned up at a favourite Akaroa restaurant on our most recent visit. What had been "C'est la Vie" - an Akaroa institution, reknowned almost as much for its funky decor as its delicious food - had transformed itself with a stylish makeover into "The Little Bistro".
A new owner/chef, a new look, a new name maybe - but still the same high standards of food and service I'm happy to say. The dishes that sounded so tempting on the blackboard by the front door lived up to all the menu had promised - with good wine to match. All in all a great evening. Looking set to keep up the standards set by its predecessor, even if it hasn't followed the Akaroa tradition of using a Frenchified "Le P'tit " in its name, The Little Bistro won the same top marks from us as C'est La Vie had always done.
Favorite Dish: There's just one word for the meal we ate at The Little Bistro - delicious! Fresh, local ingredients and great cooking to suit the season is always a winner.
Two soups - one made from flavoursome roasted kumara and root vegetables - autumn's bounty in a bowl - the other a creamy chowder packed with seafood fresh from the waters of the South Pacific - a great start to dinner on a rainy night with the first nip of winter in the air.
Main courses followed - rib-eye steak for MrL , a blue cheese-spiked vegetable risotto for me - both cooked to exactly the right state of melting tenderness. No room for dessert, though the local farm berries with vanilla bean icecream was more than a little tempting. Next time ....

It is well known that biologically oriented psychiatric investigators believe aberrant emotional or mental states to be disturbances of the biological or biochemical homeostasis. Many write as if the structural formulae for various emotions are not far off. On the other hand, psychologically, dynamically, or analytically oriented investigators view and interpret these aberrant states almost wholly from a psychologic viewpoint.
Then comes a new battle cry—interdisciplinary investigation. When one enters into the shadowland between two disciplines to bridge them, one may be assailed by both disciplines. One complaint may be that when a book has 2,000 bibliographic references to both disciplines it is less than critical in its inclusiveness, but if it carries few references bearing more heavily on one side it is often considered to be discriminatory. If a book gives an account of the state of a discipline it is said to be merely a reportorial account.

Coal Industry Waging War Against EPA
Farron Cousins | August 15, 2013
By Farron Cousins • Thursday, August 15, 2013 - 07:00
After playing the victims of an allegedly unfair, and completely fabricated, "war on coal," the coal industry has gone on the offensive by launching their own war on federal regulators. Specifically, the group has their sights set on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Coal lobbyists, led by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), have been meeting with White House officials to weaken EPA standards on CO2 emissions. The lobbyists claim that a rule requiring carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at all new coal-burning power plants should be removed because the technology is "not available."
Once you move past their talking points, their real agenda is clearly visible. After claiming that the required technology is not available, the lobbyists then admitted that their goal was to completely exempt the industry from any form of emissions standards put forth by the EPA through the Clean Air Act.
The EPA is currently working on draft proposals that would significantly reduce the amount of allowable carbon pollution from existing power plants, a move that the coal industry views as too costly. The lobbyists' meeting with White House officials is, according to The Hill, the most recent in a string of meetings between industry and administration officials this summer.

• Chronic tubulointerstitial renal disease and villous atrophy of the small intestine occurred in two first cousins. Both had protracted diarrhea with malabsorption and died despite intensive parenteral alimentation. In one patient signs of generalized proximal tubular dysfunction developed, followed by nephrotic syndrome and progressive renal insufficiency. A renal biopsy specimen disclosed severe tubulointerstitial disease and membranous glomerulopathy. In this patient, circulating immune complexes were detected and granular deposits of IgG and C3 were seen in the intestinal epithelial cells by direct immunofluorescence. Antiintestinal antibodies (IgG class) were demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence. The other patient had interstitial nephritis but no glomerular abnormality. On direct immunofluorescence, both patients had confluent granular staining of the renal tubular basement membranes. These immunopathologic studies suggest a common immunologic mechanism in the pathogenesis of the renal and gastrointestinal disorders in these infants.

Perception of Reproduced Sound: Audibility of Individual Reflections in a Complete Sound Field, III
This paper reports on the influence of individual reflection on the auditory localization of a loudspeaker in a small room. The results have shown that the subjects can distinguish between timbre and localization, the spectrum level above 2 kHz for individual reflections determines their influence, and only the first-order floor reflection contributes to localization of the main source.

So, I need some chat software that does a few things.
1. No Facebook or Twitter integration, just a simple live connection to me.
2. It needs to be able to cue me with sound, whenever someone tries to contact me.
3. I need FULL CSS control.
4. No monthly fee! Don't mind paying a little for it but that needs to be up front and NOT a monthly payment.
5. Would rather have a chat room where I can link to a stand alone page, but I have seen that most of these do not have a site wide audio cue. The page has to be loaded to get sound.

Editorial: Read my lips, fussbudgets: No new taxes

Amarillo's Planning and Zoning Commission has acted reasonably on a request to close a road on the north side of the city.
Letter: What kind of community does Amarillo want to be?
It is surprising how vocal opponents are about transitional housing when they don't have all the facts. Having volunteered for many years to help those in recovery, I feel some clarification is necessary.
Letter: Obama targets gun rights
The Supreme Court has reaffirmed our Second Amendment rights. That's good, because banning guns does nothing to make us safer.
Letter: A home away from home
The proposed halfway house for those recovering from drug abuse might be better placed on the old air base property, already owned by a government entity and former site of the Texas State Technical Institute and near the Potter County Detention Center.
Letter: Blackburn has a case
It doesn't surprise me that Texas Tech is closing its medical examiner operation. Doesn't it seem a bit coincidental that they decided to do this right after Jeff Blackburn decided to do his own investigation about the autopsy done on Michael Dick? There has been such an uproar since it was discovered that Dr. Thomas Beaver does not hold the proper medical license from the state to work as a medical examiner.

Wow, these are coming fast and furious. Roku 4 is now here, It's more expensive but it's probably worth it because it adds lots of new capabilities: 4K Ultra HD support, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, even a feature to locate a lost remote.
UPDATE: April 6, 2015
Please be aware that Roku released a new Roku 3 model that adds voice search among other things so make sure you are getting the 'latest and greatest' when you place your order. I was able to get the new one from Roku's own site but I'm sure Amazon will have them soon.
What follows is my 2013 review. This is where the NEW model is listed: New Roku 3 Streaming Media Player (4230R) With Voice Search
For anyone new to the Roku world, I would recommend the Roku 3 over any other previous models mainly on it being so much faster to operate. If 'cost' is an issue and 720p only is not a bother then the LT should be a great pick for half the price.
True for all Roku models: there's an enormous amount of channels to choose from, including most popular ones. And if there's something that you can't find in the official store you can always check the private channel listings (I included the URL of my favorite site) which is where I found things such as streaming CNN, CNN International and BBC World.
The streaming is exceptionally smooth. Quite impressive considering that I set this Roku on the second floor, some 60-70 ft. and two floors away from our Wi-Fi router located in the basement.Read more ›
Without boring everyone on the specs of the R's, let me start by telling about my experience setting it up.
Once unpacked one simply plugs the power adapter into the wall and an HDMI cable into the TV and the Roku, that's it. The unit begins booting up then asks you to select whether you want to use a wireless or wired network connection. I selected wireless and it then shows a list of the networks it detected. Once you choose your network you input the password for your network and in a few seconds it connects right away.
Finally it displays an activation code which you are to use to activate and attach the Roku to your online Roku account. For some seeking out a computer that may or may not be near the TV might be a pain, but I simply opened Safari on my iPhone and added the code to my account while sitting in front of the TV.
Once the code is entered, as part of the attaching process you are prompted to add payment info just in case you want to buy a channel or game in the future. You can not bypass this but IT'S OK. Enter it in and finish the account set up. Once you do you can simply choose to delete the payment info and it's erased from the Roku servers.Read more ›
My final comment after returning the, in my opinion, not ready for prime time Roku 2 XS was something to the effect that I would intentionally be waiting for Roku 3 before ever purchasing another Roku.
Well Roku 3 is finally here and boy oh boy am I ever glad to have waited!
Initial setup of this extremely compact streaming device is truly a breeze and takes just a few minutes.
All of the annoying issues of interference with other devices (sound bar, digital picture frame, Internet radio, etc.) in my living room - in which absolutely nothing has changed since August 2011 when I took the Roku 2 XS for an extremely disappointing spin - have been completely resolved in this new incarnation of the Roku product line.
Internet connection problems are no more even with the very same wireless router and modem that I had back in 2011: The Roku 3 connects quickly and easily to my private/secure WiFi network and streaming of the available channels (a truly overwhelming selection with hundreds of free channels and others at nominal monthly cost) is fast and smooth just like a conventional TV program not originating via the Internet. The audio signal is loud and crystal clear. As of 05/21/2013, I have an approximately 50 Mbps broadband download speed available, but 20 Mbps also has worked fine in the past.
To avoid disappointment before purchasing any Roku model be sure to do your research concerning available programming/channels beforehand.Read more ›

A majority of New Zealand adults has shown some support in a
survey for controls on how much sugar can be fed to us by the
soft-drink industry.
Forty-six percent said there should ''definitely'' be limits
on sugar in drinks and a further 32% said there should
''possibly'' be such limits - more than 75% in total.
In contrast, far fewer people supported a tax on the sugar
content of drinks, with 18% saying ''definitely'' and 26%
''possibly'' - 44% combined.
Forty percent said the sugar content of takeaways should
definitely or possibly be taxed, and 59% definitely or
possibly favoured a reduction in the serving sizes of sugar
The survey of 3451 respondents from an online panel was
commissioned and done by Horizon Research. The results were
weighted by age, gender, ethnicity, educational
qualifications, employment status and party voted for at the
2011 elections to provide a representative sample. The
maximum margins of error were 1.7%.
It was the first scientific opinion poll of the public's
views on policies to control sugar intake, Horizon principal
Graeme Colman said.
Health Minister Tony Ryall said the Government had no plans
to introduce a sugar tax or sugar restrictions.
Coca-Cola New Zealand said ''government regulation, such as a
limit on sugar in drinks, cannot solve the obesity crisis''.
The company's commitments in helping to deal with obesity
include offering more low-energy drinks.
''Today nearly one in three of our soft drinks purchased does
not contain sugar, and volumes of our low-kilojoule beverages
continue to increase,'' the company said.
''Twenty-five percent of our entire range of beverages is low
or no-kilojoule. Volumes of our sugar-sweetened range are in
The final day of the three-week survey period, last Friday,
coincided with the release of the first study assessing the
New Zealand mortality impact of a 20% tax on sugar-sweetened
drinks. It found such a tax could avert or postpone 67 deaths
a year, which is 0.2% of all deaths.
Some groups in New Zealand, notably young men, consume far
more sugar than recommended by the World Health Organisation,
although there is debate among researchers about how much
sugar New Zealanders consume.
A university-based advocacy group, Fighting Sugar in Soft
Drinks or Fizz, is calling for the ''end game'' of
sugar-sweetened drinks, with policies such as taxes and
banning sugar drinks from hospitals.
But Fizz also wants to work with the soft-drink industry and
has lauded some of Coca-Cola's anti-obesity efforts as
''small steps in the right direction''.
Should restrictions be imposed to limit sugar in
drinks? • 45.7% definitely
• 31.5% possibly
• 5.3% possibly not
• 13.1% definitely not
• 4.4% not sure

new_to_holding doesn't exist as a post status transition - you need to use the generic transition_post_status action. Something like (untested):

Lindsay Lohan is 'living in her teenage bedroom after struggling to pay $8000 rent on her Beverly Hills home'
Lindsay Lohan is reported to be living at home again with her mother Dina, after moving back into the room she occupied as a teenager in her Long Island family home.
Lohan was apparently having issues coming up with the $8,000-a-month rent for her Beverly Hills home, and has the tax man chasing her for unpaid monies.
The New York Daily News Confidential claims that LiLo, 26, is 'spending her days and most nights back in her teenage bedroom on Long Island.'
Turning back time: Lindsay Lohan is reported to have moved back into her family home in Long Island
'For the past three months that has been her home base' they continued.
'Dina has been trying to get her to move home for years so she can keep a close eye on her. She didn't want her in L.A. anymore. Not only is she in New York now, she's in the next room.'
Of course, when Lindsay was a teenager, she was already famous and spent most of her time living at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont hotel unsupervised.
And according to the report, Lindsay wanted to stay that way, and had even tried to work out a deal with Donald Trump for an apartment in Manhattan, but he wouldn't give her a big enough discount.
Home Sweet Home: Lindsay is said to be back at the family residence in Long Island after struggling with her rent in Beverly Hills
Her Beverly Hills lease ran to this month but Lindsay has apparently been home for some time, that house is the same one that Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators spent $200,000 renovating - with LiLo refusing to reveal the results on the show.
This week she filed a $1.1 million lawsuit against her 6126 clothing label partners over breach of contract.
the Liz and Dick star, who also has had her accounts frozen due to
$233,904 in unpaid taxes, officially has 'nowhere to live' but home.
The report continues that the pair are watching TV together as Dina works on her book about domestic abuse.
But there's a silver lining as Lindsay can at least afford a car service in and out of Manhattan.
'Dina's working on a book at home. 'A Parent Trapped' is the working title,' says the source.
Living the high life: Lindsay is attending events in Manhattan apparently from her family base in Long Island
'She says it's about surviving domestic abuse. She's shopping it around now.'
Lohan's father, Michael, said the move 'awesome' and believes it will help his daughter to be with family.
A representative for Lohan has yet to return Mail Online's request for comment.
Lindsay is still on probation stemming from her no contest plea on charges relating to a necklace theft back in 2011.
On January 30, she made a brief
appearance in court where was told by the judge that she could still be
found in violation of her probation - even if a jury finds her not
guilty on charges relating to a car crash case from last summer.
During the same court appearance, a judge set a trial date of March 18th for the star over the case in which she is accused of lying to police and reckless driving, which she denies.
Ready for dinner: The star looked happy and relaxed as she sat at her table
But opening up about her recent troubles at the red carpet event, held at Cipriani in the Wall Street area of Manhattan, Lindsay said she has only got through the last few months with the help of her family.
Asked what has been keeping her sane, Lindsay replied: 'Family. You can't get through anything without the family. Family is everything.'
her career is also stalling, with her performance in Lifetime biopic
Liz & Dick being slammed by critics and new movie The Canyons being
rejected by trendy film festival South by South West.

My experience might not mean much to heavier riders (I'm 135lbs) but I have been using the MTB252 hub on my SS and it's been trouble-free. Spins really good, very quiet and the 48POE are really good for SS riding. I just built another wheel with a new MTB252, DT SWISS Aerolite spokes and Light-Bicycle 26" carbon rim. Makes a nice light wheel.
