I think 10 points is enough forever. NO MORE POINTS.
I want to get new points when a band from my wishlist is announced.
It would be more fair if everyone got more points on a regular basis (weekly/monthly, etc).
It would be more fair if everyone got more points for special occasions (holidays, anniversaries).
Points should be special rewards given to contest winners.
I want more points but I don't know how / when I want them?
I have a better idea and I will post in in the thread!
Even though I agree it's a bad idea, that logic is flawed. It would be business wise of hmx to listen to people who spend more money on the game as they are usually willing to spend more in the future, as opposed to those picky people who may or may not like the song choices even if it's an artist they've put points in, or those who aren't picky but spend less money for whatever reason.
And that's not just for people who have "everything". Someone with 500 songs may still be somewhat picky, but they are more willing to buy things. Someone with 50 songs may or may not be picky, but they are obviously not sinking much money into the game.
Like I said in another post though, it would be fair for everyone if they used a solution that wasn't based on luck or purchasing power. A system that encourages staying active on the app would be fair(everyone has an equal chance to earn bonus points) and beneficial to hmx(keeping traffic to the page and maintaining awareness) at the same time.
Two Words:

I don't think pickiness and song purchases always go hand in hand, I for example am pretty picky on what I add to my library. There's certain genres and artists I like to stay away from, but I still have 1000+ songs. Someone else could be generally not picky, but not have the cash to burn on rock band. Regardless though, wouldn't it be wiser to cater to the people with deeper pockets from a business standpoint?
Although I do agree a danger with this idea is alienating that percentage of users on the FB app that buy almost nothing. But realistically the ones who would care the most would be the ones with the most purchases (the most invested in the franchise)

No, because the people with deeper pockets can still only buy a song once, just like someone with shallow pockets. The forums arguably have the deepest pockets of any section of users, but how'd that go with TWO Gaga and Nickelback packs, and the Fueled by Ramen Pack?
Harmonix wants to cater to the most PEOPLE, and you can't do that by setting a 'Must be this rich to have any say' rule on your ride.
Witticus: "GeeNef speaks to me like schizophrenia, his words touch me where my priest could reach."
Yeah but the people with deeper pockets will buy much more songs overall. And there's nothing saying must be this rich to have any say at all, even with buying no songs you can still have a say and they could scale it however they'd like (doesn't have to be 10 songs per point). As for pop packs like gaga and such, they'll get released anyway, and do fine without anything to do with the fb app. The fb app isn't end all decision of what gets in and doesn't in the game anyway. I'm not trying to argue that this is the greatest idea out there for the app lol just that it's a viable one, and would keep users such as myself much more intrigued, and coming back to it more often.

Hey gang!
If you log in today, you may notice the Facebook App looks a little different. We're prepping some (fracking AWESOME) new features for when Rock Band Blitz launches, and rolled out the new app to get it all tested and ready for you all on Aug. 28.
You can't play with all the new features yet - some of them require Rock Band Blitz - but you can still add items to your Wishlist, check out the new Shopping Cart feature, and keep track of your RB3 scores.
Please be patient if you run into errors - we're actively tweaking things as we're finding issues. Feel free to include feedback in this thread. We'll have a more formal announcement detailing the new features closer to Rock Band Blitz's launch. But just for a level set, expect this to be VERY MUCH in a beta state until RB Blitz launches to the world. GET HYPE!
I perform the greatest karaoke rendition of Born To Run that you'll ever hear. And that is no lie.
yay more stuff!

Good to know. I finally got around to checking out the FB dashboard, and was wondering why the gamertag link appears to not even try! Actually, I can't do much of anything, in any browser, on the dashboard right now.

I am glad Weird Al is 11th or 12th. It is helpful for Harmonix but it does not make getting the songs much easier.
People like Weird Al, Parry Gripp and Paul & Storm make music fun and funny. Bring on Classic Rock!!
you might want to read up on this then
short version of that, there's gonna be a kickstarter to (hopefully) get weird Al on the RBN pretty soonish

2013 Compendium
Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them
- Categorized in: Editor in Chief, February 2012
I recently learned through the evening news that a Dutch scientist, Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, Netherlands, has genetically engineered a deadly form of the H5N1 bird flu virus into an easily transmissible form that has the potential to cause lethal human pandemics. The naturally occurring H5N1 bird flu is deadly in humans with a 50% mortality rate in those who have contracted it. Fortunately, this virus exists naturally in a form that is not easily transmissible from person to person.
That has now changed with the research efforts of Fouchier, which was partially funded by the United States. The publication of the recipe for Fouchier's success is presently being debated. I was at once both horrified and amazed by this story, which easily could serve as a world destroying plot for SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) in the next Bond film, or the start of a bad zombie movie.
I, like many thousands of American service personnel, had to be vaccinated against the scourge of smallpox (Variola vera) prior to deployment, even though the World Health Organization (WHO) certified the eradication of the smallpox virus in 1979. Despite its eradication through vaccination campaigns, the threat of its use as a biological weapon still exists, as does the smallpox virus in labs within the United States and Russia. It does seem somewhat nonsensical that the United States would fund research that would lead to the publication of instructions for creating an even more devastating disease (the overall mortality rate for smallpox is only 30-35%) and not have this research under tight federal oversight and control. This past December, WHO expressed similar concerns, stating Fouchier's work carries significant risks. At the same time, WHO also noted that work of this type must continue for the valuable knowledge gained.
Personally, I have to agree that research like Fouchier's is vital to our understanding of the biology of viruses and how they infect. This understanding can lead to enhanced therapies, methods of prevention and, sadly, weapons of mass destruction. I am amazed at the capabilities and intellect of scientists like Fouchier and colleagues, although I am less enthusiastic about their capability to keep this deadly genie in its bottle. With great intellect comes even greater responsibility. The ethical lessons of our somewhat sordid medical research past (Tuskegee syphilis, Josef Mengele, Cincinnati radiation, etc.) should serve as warnings in our ever more scientifically capable future. The present state of the world does not support the luxury of purely scientific inquiry without an eye toward, and preparation for, the impact of that inquiry. Certainly, Los Alamos Director J. Robert Oppenheimer had similar thoughts with the first successful detonation of a nuclear bomb, as he recalled being reminded of Hindu scripture: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
In my own lifetime, I have witnessed with delight the many miracles modern science has brought to daily life. As a boy, I watched "Star Trek," as Captain Kirk used his communicator to speak with Spock; I now carry a more capable device in my cellphone. I can heat my food with a push of a button, reach the other side of the planet in a day, peer inside my patients on a device the size of a laptop and access the world from my computer. Not only have these amazing things enriched our lives, they also can have unexpected and undesirable consequences. My cellphone prevents me from ever really leaving work, the food I microwave is rarely healthy, and I sometimes spend more time on the computer than with my family. I am not complaining, though, because I can manage the mild consequences of these wonderful gifts. I can choose to turn off the cellphone or computer. On the other hand, death from a pandemic caused by the release of a lethal virus through negligence or an act of terror is not manageable. It could quite literally end much that is positive in our world today.
I applaud Ron Fouchier and his team for the intellectuals they are; I only hope they are also the geniuses we all need them to be.

Genesis 2: 16-17
However, as was the case with nuclear weapons, I'm afraid that the manufacturing technique (or one similar) will become widely available eventually.
The next step should be to prepare to deal with a highly transmissible, very lethal virus based upon influenza. This is not something that can be dealt with on a reactive basis, there will be no time.

Dear makers of Doctor Who
Please stop bringing extended family (I know they are not related but) and children aboard the TARDIS.
Thank you - April 25, 2013 at 1:37 PM
I don't remember children being taken aboard the TARDIS before... also, it's possible it's a modern day story and the Doctor is the one tagging along with the three of them. We shall see.

bringing on Artie and Angie reminded of a cartoon strip with the first Doctor where he had two young kids along as companions - maybe possibly this is a reference to that? Well they do keep throwing the references to past Doctor Who in there... or maybe not.

Issue 42
Sports photographer Gerry Cranham knew little about bike racing when he shot the Antwerp Six-Day in 1961: "The first thing that hit me was the smell. The air was thick with a mixture of cigar smoke and chip fat oil. And mayonnaise. They ate a lot of that, chips with mayonnaise. Then there was the noise! I've never heard anything like it." The results are astounding.
"Tom Southam is considering retiring as the only directeur sportif in history with a 100 per cent win record," is the sign-off. The Tour of Korea promised to be an interesting story for photographer Daniel Sharp and temporary DS Southam. Then Tom's young protégé Mike Cuming went and won the race for Rapha-Condor-JLT… Southam stays cool under pressure, as always.
Fizik – or fi'zi:k – have taken a huge slice of the top-end saddle market in just 20 years. How did they do it? And where do they come from? Guy Andrews and Taz Darling track them down in Italy.
Amalio Hortelano is a fighter. The Spaniard who loaded up his Seat 600 in 1965 and headed for the European six-day circuit battles on despite recent testing circumstances that would sink a lesser man. Carlos Arribas and Timm Kölln visit a spirited character with great stories of life on the road.
Dan Martin says: "To win, you have to risk losing." We like his style. Andy McGrath talks to the attacking Irishman with the English accent.
Also featuring one of the best races on the women's calendar, the Giro Rosa, and the next generation of great Yorkshire riders inspired by the 2014 Grand Départ in Leeds. Plus regular columnist Robert Millar, writers Jordan Gibbons, Giulia De Maio and Ian Cleverly, and photographers Juan Trujillo Andrades, Sam Needham and Paolo Ciaberta.
Praise for Rouleur
"I had the last copy autographed by Ernesto Colnago, and he asked if i could send him another one - so if it's good enough for Ernesto, what are you waiting for?"

Brilliant. Pat Ament has had many first ascents in Eldorado, but few are as perfect and fun as this one. Begin perhaps 20 feet left from the start of C'est La Morte. The first tricky face moves begin from a nice, flat rock. Then enter a broken crack system and move up past one bolt, a fucked-up knifeblade (no longer there) that [was] a perfect example of horrible fixed pro, and past one more bomber bolt right below the crux, which takes you up a hollow flake. The first set of anchors are 20 feet past the crux. From here you can lower, 75 feet, or continue up through an easy A shaped roof and then do an airy traverse left to another set of anchors, 100 feet. This sets you up for the second pitch, if you're up to it.... The second pitch really has to be done if you want the fully C'est La Vie experience. Go straight up the huge dihedral. The 5.11c crux is only about 10 feet above the belay, which sits on a small ledge. Two fixed pins ripped recently so there is virtually no pro to keep you from cratering on the ledge if you rip, but many argue it is well worth the risk. From the top, rap to the first set of anchors and then to the ground. Per Bill Briggs: The route has an exhilarating third pitch that is sadly neglected because the double bolt anchor at the top of the second pitch was not placed at the original finish of the second pitch. Now everyone lowers off the bolts and misses the third pitch. The climb should be completed as follows. Clip the bolts at the top of the second pitch dihedral, then climb another 20 feet to a good stance beneath a six-foot overhand; good anchors can be found here. The third pitch surmounts the overhang with the help of some solution pockets above the lip and a heel hook. Once standing on the lip of the overhang, a medium cam can be placed in a solution pocket. Two more tricky moves up and right lead to easier climbing. The moves are probably 5.10. This pitch used to be the standard finish to the route and was done regularly.
If you are only doing the first part of the first pitch all that is needed is three quick draws, a #10 BD Stopper, and a #2 Camalot.
The old bent pin on the pitch 1 crux is no longer there. Bring a purple C3 or similar to protect this section.
As of 4/14 there is one fixed pin on the second pitch. It is pretty low down and is very easy to clip, but is not in the greatest location for catching a fall from the crux. There is a ledge above the belay and below the pin that you will land on should you fall from up high and either haven placed RPs at the crux or your RP ripped. The crux of this route is tricky, slabby, very thin, and fun. I definately recomend trying it.
Hmmm, you would really have to know this route well to take the mentioned rack on it, the pitch isn't too long, but is one of the harder 9s in Eldo. The second pitch isn anything close to a death fest, there are one (or two?) pins at your waist, and two pretty good RP placements in the seam. It's really quite sane, even sewn up!
The first pitch is fantastic, even though it is definately tough for 5.9 (hey, it'd be solid 5.10 in Dream Canyon:). Don't pull too hard on the flake at the top of P1, it's a bit loose. As of 9-17-01 it looked like there were two fixed pins for the crux of P2.
Did this route on Saturday, 11/17. There is one pin at the crux and you can get a good RP (#3 BD micro?) in to protect a ledge fall at the crux. If you have good gear placement skills this is a very safe lead.
My BD micro ripped when standing on a sling at the crux. Luckily the blue alien that I was grabing on higher up in the crack held and I was able to clip it. Perhaps an RP or small offset nut would work better for pro. After the first 15 feet or so on the crux pitch, it is 5.8ish to the rap anchors in a nice hand crack.
i did the top pitch of c'est la vie on 2/8/02 and the rumors of lacking protection are definately wrong. there is one good pin before the crux and a higher bomber #2 rp. the rp is absolutely sinker and would keep you off the ledge with an attentive belayer. protection aside, this is an amazing pitch and a definate must for any eldo climber.
I really disagree that the remaining pin below the crux is good. Not quite hall of shame material, but it's sticking pretty far out. There seem to be some good rp placements but you really have to fiddle for them and there's some deceptively bad ones--also, you have to place them from a very insecure stance, meaning that you could fall on that pin. But still, safe enough for the 5.11 leader w/good gear-placing skills, I suppose.
Both the first and second pitches seem to protect reasonably well. However, I'm not sure I'd want to fall on a few of those manky pins. I found that most can be backed up with small nuts, though.
If you don't want to do the 5.11 corner, a fun alternative is to climb the beautiful arete to the right for the second pitch. I think it is around 5.8 or so, but I'm not exactly sure. Never the less, there are a few sections of poor, thin protection; so bring small gear.
One very minor detail: the white line on the above picture goes left around the A-shaped roof, when the route actually goes straight through the roof and a little right, before traversing left to the anchors.
What's the beta on the crux? I once followed this route 10+ years ago, but I forgot how and ever since then I have failed miserabley to even TR the crux. Does one use the sidepull way off on the left wall at the crux, or is this a dead end?
For those such as myself who find the 'regular' second pitch rather intimidating, the 5.9 variation is a great way to get to the anchors, or just do a nice second pitch. This is also a good way to reach the anchors to toprope the crux dihedral (be sure to set a directional). From the anchors at the top of the first pitch, below the dihedral, traverse up and right to gain a thin right-leaning crack. Execute a few tricky, balancy moves to gain the arete, then work up and left to gain the top of the 11c pitch about 20 feet below the anchors. Finish with that pitch. Rossiter shows this as 9+, but it's easier than the first pitch. Probably 8+/9-, but very nice climbing with interesting holds for Eldo. Recommended.
In response to the beta at the crux of the second pitch. Personally, I got my left hand on that higher hold on the left wall and my right hand on a chalked up crimper where the book comes together. The key for me was bringing my right foot up on a very micro crystal. Then I backstepped my left foot on the fairly large, chalked up downward slanting ledge. This enabled me to be wedged in there enough to let go with one hand to get the good hold where the crack comes together. Wow! That was a lot of beta. Anyway I'm pretty short and my tall partner did it a different way. Good Luck
My 2_ here-- GEAR: I found either a black or blue alien slotted in nicely above the pin (which I would call so-so), to protect the crux move; though, depending on when you fell, you could still land on the ledge below. BETA: For me, using any of the holds on the left wall (below/including the Desdichado holds) didn't work out, despite how nice and big they feel. I just couldn't rock my body back into the dihedral-- I am tall, so this may explain the difference here. My success on this crux came when I finally committed to just doing the delicate slab, stepping high with my right foot. Great challenge, great route.
To protect the crux on the second pitch I was able to get a good #3 ball nut. I placed it in the "largest" slot below the small crimp in the corner. Placed with the flat side against the left slide it is only in about 3/4 but a small lip keeps it solidly in place. I gave it a few good tests.
At the risk of this comment field getting carried away w/ gear beta, this may be useful. Many of the above comments list small RP's (#3), etc. that looked pretty good, but no one talks about falling on them. As my partner and I tried to slove the crux, we fell onto a #5 BD copper/steel at least 15 times. It is bomber and the fall is very short if you place it where we did. There is currently one fixed pin on the route, and you can get a decent (yet, sideways) blue alien about a foot above it. The cam is not great but it provides a little confidence while you slot the higher RP. The #5 goes about a foot (my distances are guesses from memory and may be a little off) above the alien. You will have to climb up a move or two from the stance to place this piece. After the #5 is in, don't waste your time looking higher, there is a bomber medium stopper at the obvious finger lock at the end of the crux, just go for it.As for the beta, I have seen it done any number of very different ways, so just get on it and figure out what works for you. The footholds on the slab are pretty slick. I have had much better luck on these moves on a cool day.
gear beta if only doing first pitch: there isn't much pro between the first and second bolt. a foot or two below the scary piton there is a very inobvious red alien placement...it goes in right at the nice undercling sidepull thingy. if you miss this placement there is a chance for a pretty big fall, but if you get it this climb is reasonbly protected. the hardest pitch of 5.9 i've climbed, and awesome.
Went up to climb this fine route yesterday and just wanted to issue a warning to watch out for poison ivy all along the upper talus leading to the base of the wall. Coincidentally, todays Dailey Camera Get Out! section has an article on this nasty plant in case you need a description.
Couple comments about the 1st pitch. It *is* hard. Hardest 5.9 I've done in Eldo. I thought it was quite a bit harder than Emerald City for instance. Also, Jay is right: taking a big fall is quite the possibility. But it's a good fall. And the bolt before the pin works just fine, believe me. The moves above the first bolt are so deceiving. There looks like there's a monstrous foot hold just under the pin. But when you make the move, you're not really in a position to step on it. Also, try to clip the pin *before* making the moves. I didn't even think of the red alien that Jay mentions. So after making the move to clip the pin, realizing that I couldn't use the bomber foothold, I had comitted and couldn't reverse the moves... hence the nice big whipper. A really good pitch though...
Dale Haas and I fixed up the first anchor on pitch #1 (about 60' up). We replaced the old Leeper-style hanger on the left bolt with a Fixe 4mm Stainless Steel hanger. Also, we removed the smash links and assorted hardware from bothbolts and installed two 3/8" quick links on each bolt. This work was supported by the American Safe Climbing Association (ASCA). Check them out at www.safeclimbing.org. They would appreciate your support. By the way, smash links, also known as lap links, are a poor choice for usingas rappel anchors on bolts. When they wear and need replacing it requires a hammer and a chisel to open the link (hint, hint to those of you who wouldlike to help out removing smash links from bolts). Quick links work so much better and are easier to replace.
The anchors at the top of the first pitch are appreciated. Thanks.The first pitch is hard, I thought. The beginning is scary becuase it is way up off the ground. I protected the start with a .5 camalot in the chalked-up slot. However, doing this takes away your best hold...
Yo! FYI A bomber number 3 or 4 HB offset nut can be placed before leaving the ground on the first pitch. I thought the first pitch was more difficult than the Tagger 10c pitch.
More thanks to Dale, Bruce, and the ASCA for replacing the first anchor. I'd offer to replace the bent, half-out lost arrow, but I fear the retribution, and it held my 190 lbs. just fine. I also protected the start with a #4 offset and a cam in the slot, but only after sliding off down to the block. Excellent Eldo 5.9!
I thought the first pitch was the hardest 5.9 I've climbed in eldo or elsewhere. Sustained, tricky moves in the crux layback, and add to that infrequent and somewhat tricky gear.
...The photo on the C'est La Vie page shows a third pitch, but it is in the wrong place. It should be about 10-15 feet right of the line in the photo.
Bill makes a good point but actually I think there are 2 variations which work as 3rd pitches. One is shown on the photo and one is as he describes. I believe the one he describes is the Barber Direct. The convenience bolts at the top of the dihedral were approverd by the FHRC to facilitate lowering back down the dihedral and were proposed by someone who was "guiding" in Eldo at the time. It seems to me that any "convenience" is compromised by having the second have to fight thru the rope at the crux. A hanging belay at these bolts is painfully awkward.
Myke's beta photo above is innacurate with regard to belay position on P1. The first set of chains is under the mamouth flake below where he has the dot on the photo. Obvoiously, P1 & 2 can be combined, and often are...The moves in that upper corner, past those chains are interesting and involve a step up and high reach back and way right pulling up into an interesting little traverse to the second set of chains...
as of 8/9/2004, below the first set of anchor bolts along the flake, a bat nest with 50+ bats nesting waiting to attack , kinda scary moving past them and sticking your hands near the flake, beware!!!
Regarding pro at the crux pitch crux section: a #2 HB offset and a #2 RP can be placed right next to each other about a meter above the last pin. Falling with the pin as the last piece lands you on some small ledges/large edges. These two #2's are high enough to keep from hitting the edges if you fall....at least that's what I tried to tell myself while climbing.
If 5.9 is pushing your lead limit then the 1st pitch is going to feel pretty darn tough. This seemed a fair bit harder than say the first pitch of Chockstone (10a). The gear is kinda funky in places and the pin below the crux looks pretty bunk.
Found gear at base of C'est La Vie - Sat., Oct 2. See Lost and Found section (link on home page) for details.
I fell on the twisted piton on the first pitch today-I wouldn't give that thing many more falls. I backed it up with a cam under the piton, I believe an HB quad cam(don't know what size, maybe similar to a BD #.75). We climbed the alternate second pitch, and, I must say, was excellent.
The party that climbed the first pitch before us today also took a lead fall on the twisted pin! At least we know it will hold one for now... I linked the first pitch and the arete alternate finish into one pitch and it worked out nicely with minimal rope drag.
Adequate gear, classic line. Calling the little white crystal for your right foot a dime edge seems generous.
I have another suggestion for pro on the second pitch. You can place a bomber blue alien about 10 inches above the pin and it will hold a fall. I know because I tested it a couple of times before I finally pulled the crux.
I placed the two-bolt anchor at the top of the second pitch, only after carefully and thoughtfully weighing the pros and cons of doing so. I submitted a written proposal to FHRC, who deliberated on the idea for almost one year, before I was given written approval to install the anchor. I originally proposed the installation of the bolts at a public meeting, at which several local climbers were in attendance and had the opportunity to voice their objections - few did. Consequently, with the assistance of Mark Rolofson and his drill, I installed the anchors. During the following month, a dozen or so local climbers approached me to express their appreciation for my efforts. Given the sensitivity of such actions - legal or not - I feel compelled to clarify my reason for installing the anchor. It was not as Steve suggested meant to be a convenience anchor. Although I consider Steve to be a reasonable person, I am surprised and a bit disappointed at his comment. The fact is that he was one of the few climbers, at the meeting, who vehemently opposed my proposal. He is also acutely aware of my reason for suggesting the anchor in the first place, because I stated it clearly in his presence. My [sole] intention for the installation of those bolts was to reconcile a safety issue - period. At the time, I had been guiding for Boulder Rock School, in Eldorado Canyon, three to four times per week in addition to spending almost all of my recreational time there. I frequently encountered competent parties, who had jammed their ropes into the top of the dihedral, while attempting to rappel. The problem was that the antecedent anchor was fixed in the horizontal section of that upper dihedral, which inevitably guided and sometimes lodged the rappel ropes into its flaring crack. I do not disagree with Steve's opinion that the former belay stance was a bit more comfortable, although I firmly believe that resolving the more important safety issue supersedes any minor reduction of comfort. Mark and I contemplated this issue and spent a considerable amount of time on the upper ledge, determining what we believed to be the most efficient placement of the bolts. I've heard few complaints since. I respect both Steve's and Roger's desire to preserve the tradition of Eldorado climbing. I too look forward to all efforts toward doing so. I have been an active climber, in the capacity of professional instructor, guide, sponsored athlete, and sports photographer, for almost thirty years. I learned to climb in a staunchly traditional environment, so I understand and appreciate tradition all too well. On the other hand, I also recognize that there is a difference between preserving tradition and becoming consumed by an ideology. Situations change and activities evolve. Such was clearly the case with this route. With all due respect to Roger, during seven years of climbing in Eldo, I never saw more than two separate parties, my own included, on the third pitch of the route in question. Moreover, the presence of my anchors in no way impinges upon anyone's desire to pursue this last pitch. The guidebooks display it, and all interested parties are free to do it. Most parties simply choose not to. Could we live without the existence of bolted belays on this route? Of course we could. The same argument could be made regarding the bolted anchors on The Naked Edge and several other _traditional_ Eldorado classics. The Edge could easily be ascended without any bolts, and it would still be considered a relatively safe route. We humans have an innate predisposition toward maintain a modicum of comfort in our lives, which is why most people don't free solo routes. We instead form a general consensus to determine what is acceptable to the majority. This consensus is oftentimes implicit by our actions. I can see no benefit from the presence of machismo in our sport. Although the bold and defiant acts of some to challenge nature's patience can leave many of us with a sense of awe, they are still the personal choice of those who pursue them. They should in no way mandate a standard by which we all must abide. Climbing is personal endeavor, and it should be preserved as such. In any event, this is a classic route, whether done in one, two, or all three pitches. I highly recommend it.KC
We just did the 1st and 2nd pitches last night. There are 3 pins on the 2nd pitch, one that protects the crux moves which I backed up with a blue alien below it. The crux pin seems to be adequate, as I fell on it from the top of the crux section. The fall wasn't bad, I basically slid back down the slab with the pin catching me just as my feet were coming to the ledge. The slide is so slow you have plenty of time to look down and see where your feet are going to land.
Personally, I am disappointed if the above comment means that recently some pins were [replaced] at the second pitch crux. The natural gear was adequate. A perfect example of where fixed pro should NOT have be replaced, in my opinion. Reduces the experience, and, in the long run, reduces the safety.
Chad, There is only one pin on the actual dihedral. The other two are located just above the bolted belay (probably the original belay) and don't impact the climbing at all. Hope that helps clear up any misunderstanding.
On P1, after clipping the twisted knife blade (which I didn't feel a need to back up), layback the flake and step up immediately using one of several small edges at the bottom of this flake, reaching for the two [chalked] up flared pockets in the crack above the piece. This is the most direct, and IMO easiest way to reach the next bolt. Trusting this stance while clipping is the mental crux...balancy... I've wandered a bit farther right before launching up while following this pitch in the past, but I believe the bolt would be out of reach if you get too far right past the flake before launching up on lead...
Climbed this yesterday late afternoon. Behind the big flake just before the first anchors was a pretty impressive colony of bats, sleeping and crawling all over each other. Its hard to say for sure how many were there, but I counted 30+ distinct bats, and I'm sure many more were hidden from view. Very cool, though the stench of guano was pretty strong. I know nothing about bats: any ideas on what type might be living in Eldo?
Climbed P1 on 12/9/06 with A. Wiedmann. I don't recommend this as a cold-season climb; P1 gets no sunlight and the rock is very cold. Thought the pro was somewhat marginal. First move can be protected with a small stopper but it's effective only if the climber stays well to the right. The bent pin at the P1 crux looks very bad. It can be backed up (I used a stopper), but the backup is not that good and definitely should be equalized. This is a satisfying pitch though. Crux moves are inobvious, delicate, and fun once you figure 'em out. Think it would be 5.10b for us lesser mortals. No bats--too cold I guess!
I found the new red BD C3 works well before the bad nut placement. Incredible pitch. Definitely thought provoking. Classic and amazing. Everyone should do it.
This whole climb rocks!!! Do the final pitch it is protected and the sequence is great!!!
On the dihedral pitch, tread lightly on the flake that is on the left wall by the finger lock after the crux. It flexed severely when I tested it and I think it would come with a little persuasion.
I did the first two pitches of this thing last year. I thought they were both rated 5.9 when I climbed it; at the time, I thought the second pitch was pretty sand-bagged. LOL, .11b sounds more like it.
This is a sport climb now, not a death-fest. Fixed pro the whole crux, you can crag the second, crux pitch from the belay under the dihedral, and thus only need a 70 meter to get all the way to the ground. Good evening 5.11. You can climb the .9 pitch, work the second pitch, lower from that belay and top rope Pansee Sauvage (.11). Also, the route mentions that this climb can't be .11c at the crux, but if you are 5'2" or shorter, this is at most a .10+. Little person climb...for once.
Just as a heads up, the second pitch is a little scary now due to the fact that a questionable nut has been wedged into the perfect TCU placement above the piton. The nut is about 1/3 a way in, I guess some people tried to get it out, but then stopped....
Pulled the previously stuck nut today, but don't worry, the climb is still hard.
As of 5/9/2010, the pin in the crux dihedral of P2 is no longer there nor is there any other fixed gear on that pitch (except at the belay anchors at the top and bottom of the dihedral). Placing adequate gear in the dihedral through the crux is tricky and strenuous. Good luck.
As of 6/10/2011, there is a fixed nut at the crux.
Still a bomber fixed nut. P2 protects really well and is definitely the money pitch.

To date, I've only attended three weddings in my life. Two of them I was in, but none as the star. All were fairly traditional. Held at churches. Brides wore white. Groomsmen dressed in tuxedoes. As the title would suggest, a wedding takes place at the core of Rachel Getting Married, and exists to drive the surrounding events. Although the wedding was nothing like the others I've attended, aside from the lawful union of two people, I feel I can chalk up another tally on my Wedding Attendance Scorecard.
The titular Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) is indeed tying the knot with her fiancé Sidney (Tunde Adebimpe), but she is not the center of attention, as all brides aspire to be. She is upstaged by her sister Kym (Anne Hathaway), who is granted a two-day leave of absence from her long-standing stint in drug rehabilitation, for the sole purpose of attending the wedding. Although Kym is content to keep a lower profile, her family is wound tightly throughout her presence. She makes them stiffen up whenever she enters a room, as there are skeletons in her drug-addled closet.
Regardless of tensions, the show must go on. No one comes between a bride and her wedding, and this is no exception. Kym tries to stay on her best behavior, managing to attend a drug addiction meeting, trying to maintain some semblance on the life she's known for so long. She makes an acquaintance with a fellow recovering drug addict, who just happens to be Sidney's best man. They share an intimate moment, and it appears this may be the road the film heads down. However, the focus is never removed from the wedding and how the bond of sisterhood is exhausted during tumultuous times.
Eventually, Kym lashes out in frustration from the constant peering and unease around her. She vies to be the maid-of-honor, wanting the title stripped from Rachel's best friend. She gives a self-centered toast at the reception dinner, showing a flair for the dramatic, sucking all celebratory good cheer from the room. Those skeletons in the closet reveal themselves in a bout of competitive dishwashing and it's instantly understood the wariness and unease that surrounds her. Their divorced mother (Debra Winger) appears to be the one individual that can set things straight, but might be the most uncomfortable of all.
Aside from the downer subject matter of drug rehab and closeted skeletons, the film is actually full of joyous celebration. It is about a wedding after all. In what is supposed to be the happiest day of a couple's life, the pairing is never discouraged and always positive. The script by first-timer Jenny Lumet (daughter of Sidney) is nothing short of illuminating. It was never in danger of becoming a Hollywood studio picture as it bucks every trend you tried to see coming. It takes a deliberate and methodical pace that invites you to be a fly-on-the-wall throughout its forever-intriguing storyline.
Perfectly married to the script is Jonathan Demme's expert direction. He employs an ever-roving camera, managing to capture giant scope and miniature detail. He stays with scenes much longer than expected, providing the audience member with the feeling of having been present in the scene. The aforementioned rehearsal dinner sees most, if not all, members of the party stand up and toast the bride and groom, even if they have no other moments throughout. This helps open things up and successfully creates an atmosphere that allows the nuances of the film to flourish. This process is aided by lively music for the duration, making the unique wedding experience that much more.
Of course, the film would ultimately fail those two terrific elements were in not for top-notch acting all-around. Hathaway, looking unglamorous for the first time since pre-transformation in The Princess Diaries, captures the role of her life to-date, with a depth she's never had a chance to display. Kudos to Demme for immediately thinking of her and helping her inhabit the human tornado. She deserves every acting nomination she's received for the role, and it's a shame she hasn't won to this point. She has successfully transitioned herself from a Disney queen to a tremendous talent, and the roles will be rolling in. Special mentions need to be made for DeWitt, Debra Winger and Bill Irwin, all of whom give award-worthy performances, elevating a great film through terrific chemistry.
Rachel Getting Married was a tremendous experience, from beginning to end. I've fallen in love with the movie since seeing it, and I feel it was robbed of more deserved Oscar nominations. No Demme, Lumet, DeWitt or Best Picture nomination leaves the ultimate awards show sorely lacking. The film far outweighs Milk, Frost/Nixon and The Reader, which makes for severe oversight. It's easily one of my five favorite films of the year, and I hope it gets recognized for being the modern classic it is, as soon as possible.

When some people hear the word bass, they immediately think about the bass guitar, a popular instrument in many types of music today. However, there is actually a large number of different instruments that fall under the base category, and the bass guitar is only one of them. Bass instruments are instruments that produce a specific type of sound. Bass is used to describe tones of low range or low frequency. When played in orchestras or ensembles, these notes are most frequently used as a way to provide a counter melody or counterpoint in a harmonic context. This is ideal for outlining or juxtaposing the progression of chords, or underlining the rhythm using percussion instruments. In popular music of today, the bass part of the music is most commonly intended to provide support both rhythmically and harmonically as well.
There are numerous different bass instruments, including bass drums, bass clarinets, bass guitars and many others. Let us look at some of these instruments and what sets them apart from the other instruments in the bass family.
Bass Clarinet -
The bass clarinet is a musical instrument that belongs to the clarinet family. Like the soprano B sharp clarinet which is a much more common clarinet, the bass clarinet is most commonly pitched in B sharp, meaning that it is a transposing instrument and that when C is written, it sound as B sharp would. The bass clarinet, however, also plays its notes an octave below the standard B sharp clarinet. Bass clarinets available in other keys, like C or A for example are also in existence but they are very rare and not commonly played at all.
Bass Drum -
Bass drums are large drums that produce a note of either low definite pitch or indefinite pitch. There are basically three different general classifications for bass drums. The first bass drum classification is the concert bass drum, the second classification is the kick drum and the third classification is the pitched bass drum. The type that is most commonly seen and heard in concert band music and orchestral music is the concert bass drum, which comes in a variety of different sizes but is most commonly the largest drum in the ensemble. The kick drum on the other hand is a drum that has a beater attached to a pedal, and it is most commonly seen in drum kits because the drummer is managing numerous different types of drums and cannot beat on the bass drum without a free hand to do so. The third and final type of bass drum is the pitched bass drum. This drum is the most common in marching bands as well as drum corps and is usually grouped in a set of three to five drums. This drum is generally tuned to a specific pitch and is the largest drum played in the ensemble.
Bass Guitar -
The bass guitar is available both in an acoustic bass guitar setup and an electric bass guitar as well. The electric bass guitar is a stringed instrument that is played primarily with either the fingers and thumb or by using a pick. When playing the bass guitar, some of the most popular motions are plucking, popping, slapping, tapping and thumping the strings. The bass guitar is quite similar in appearance and construction to a regular electric guitar, but the bass guitar generally has a larger body and a longer neck. The longer neck creates a longer scale length, and there are usually four strings that are tuned similarly to the double bass.
The bass guitar notation is generally found in bass clef about one octave higher than the sound that it actually presents. Just like the standard electric guitar, the electric bass guitar is most commonly plugged directly into an amplifier and speaker so that it can produce a greater sound in the event of live performances.
The electric bass guitar has largely replaced the double bass or stand up bass in popular music. This is because the bass guitar is capable of providing the same low pitched bass runs and bass lines in many different styles of music. In other words, the bass guitar is not nearly as limited when it comes to the different types of sounds that can be created. Accordingly, the bass guitar can be implemented into a musical ensemble as a solo instrument in many styles of music including rock, funk, Latin, fusion and jazz.
Double Bass -
The double bass, also known as the stand up bass or the contrabass is the largest and the lowest pitched of all bowed string instruments that you will find in the modern symphony orchestra. The double bass is a standard member within the string section of the orchestra, and can also be found in smaller string ensembles as well. The Double Bass is constructed from several different types of wood, including maple, spruce and ebony. Maple is most commonly used for the back of the double bass, with spruce making up the top, and ebony being utilized for the fingerboard.
The origin of the double bass is largely unknown. Many are not sure of whether the double bass is a descendant of the standard violin or of the viola de gamba, but it is traditionally assumed that the double bass comes from the violin family. The double bass does have features that liken it to other instruments within the violin family, but it also has features which are unique to the viola family.
Music is a truly intense part of every culture around the world. Music can bring people together, and can differentiate them from one another just the same. Bass music is an interesting style of music because it involves a much lower range of notes and sounds than other instruments that can play a much wider range of sounds. Still, bass instruments are vital in many types of music, including jazz, blues, fusion, rock and even R&B.

Pace yourself, like Paul said. Bonnaroo is a slog, where Coachella is a cake-walk. Totally rewarding, just don't let the difficulties ruin your flow.
How is the cell phone reception?
"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."
Friday from 9 - 1130, all eyes on Paul. It would be great if more festivals gave everyone the opportunity to catch the main headliner AND every other act. The only reason why you would miss that set is if you just did not want to see him, which quite honestly, would just be ignorant.
Weather forecast is universally good, from every predictor i can find. High 80s/low 90s and sunny.
Wednesday might be a hot one. I wouldn't plan on sitting on the side of the road fof too many hours while.the sun is ip.

Tickets to Bonnaroo 2013 are now SOLD OUT! Thank you and happy Bonnaroo!!!
At the airport. Next stop Tennessee!
Ugh. Travel safe everyone. Heart goes out to everyone
Please check out my blog Sleeping is Giving In for some great mixes and other good things!
heh, lineup just got better with the drops.
Bjork can regain her status as "headliner".
You shouldn't be. The guy had a life threatening blod clot near his brain. That would be like getting pissed that Beastie Boys cancelling at APW after MCA was diagnosed with cancer.
When they announced the surgery and the cancellation of the first few shows, I knew there was no fucking way they'd play Bonnaroo. Fan or not, it's an unfortunate situation and I wish that member a speedy recovery.
This is the second reason I like you Jen.

Tuning up the Ratio
Tuning up the Ratio
As is so often the case in this business, a big, earthshaking news story hit the press just as we were sending our own issue to the printer.
Of course, big stories happens all the time, and it seems like we are always printing something, so we take these collisions in stride. In this case, the news is that Google just bought Motorola Mobility for US$ 12.5 billion – a pretty big expense for a company like Google that has always prided itself on being the quintessential web company, with no complicated manufacturing or other corporeal uncertainties gumming up the path to the customer. Google's strategy has always been so pure – just programming, marketing, and managing data. Since when did they want to start making and distributing electronic devices? What's next? TVs? Toothpaste?
It only took a few hours for the news sites to pick up on the real story. This tale is about patents. Unlike many more conventional companies, Google never really got into the patent game. Even when they started working on Android – a new frontier for which they seemed fully prepared technically – they really didn't come to play legally. The game with patents is about attacking the weakest opponent. If I have patents and you don't, I will sue you mercilessly. If you have patents and I have reason to fear you will sue me back, I leave you alone.

I'm sure we must have a few budding maybe even professional, photographers on these forums. Thought it would be nice to have a thread where you can showcase your work, share tips and even give some technical support (if you're able).
I bought myself a nice entry level D-SLR (Canon Rebel T2i) a few months back, but I'm starting to take it a little bit more seriously lately. I really love having a proper camera at my disposal on hikes and so on.
Anyway, I just bought myself Photoshop CS5 (extended edition). I'm lucky to still be eligible for student pricing, so I got it for just under $200. Anyway, if anyone knows of a good book to use as both a good text book and a reference book (once I've gone through it), I'll very much appreciate it. There are many books available, but I don't want to buy 17 to find the right one. Any advice?
ps. I have Lightroom 3, but Photoshop offers so much more, and apparently they work pretty well together...

Journals and Posts
BROOKS of Stratford
My great, great grandfather Philip Cannil Brooks was born in Stratford in 1831 according to the 1871 census. I do not know who his parents or siblings were. Any information would be gladly accepted. He married Elizabeth Annie Creed in London in 1850/1. They had 4 daughters.
Holdaway of Titchfield, Hants, UK
James Walter Holdaway & William Holdaway, sons of Stephen & Sarah Holdaway, then living in Southampton left for Australia in 1869. Work was scarce for the waterboys so they decided to try for a better life at Moreton Bay , Queensland. The land allocated to them was not too good for vegetable growing (it later became the famous Gabba Cricket Ground) so they headed south to the Clarence River. Here they cut timber. Later they came to Sydney.Stephen snr ws a sawyer, which craft was taken up by his son in NSW. I am looking for past family history, some of which I have or contact fromfamily who stayed in Hampshire.

My ancestor was Frederick John Wilson. He was in Australia by 1859 when my greatgrandmother was born. He then went to New Zealand. There was a lot of movement bewteen Australia/ Melbourne & NZ,particularly Otago at that time. Do you know where he went to? I gather there are loads of Wilsons in Dunedin.What did he do?Shipping records are quite good one you start looking at them. R Dunk
