Choices in 27" road tires?

I find it increasingly difficult to find 1" thin 27" road tires. I am aware of the Panaracer Pasela's make 25-630 tires, but does anyone know of any other ones out there? Thanks folks.

Your bike will build up unspeakable resentment toward you until which time it feels the need to exact horrible vengeance upon the owner/rider in catastrophic fashion. Be prepared.
