The first pitch of this thing is truly a gem. Funky, engaging corner climbing delivers you to a devious and tricky-to-protect crux that gives way to sheer 5.10 chicken head glory. The crux may be very difficult for those under ~5'10"...you may have to dyno? The second pitch is a head game with a pretty cool crux section.
The first pitch anchors have been updated to fat 1/2" SS bolts and hangers with links+rings. Thank you ASCA! The old 1/4" bolts broke under frighteningly little force. Thanks to Greg Kay for the long hours he spent up there helping out and hauling heavy crap, and to Geir Hundal for loaning equipment, this classic climb is now ready to rock. And deserves to be climbed, at least the 1st pitch--it's excellent climbing and completely safe--go do it!
The second pitch is verging very close to R territory. Ok, I'm gonna say R. Don't fall. The lone 1/4" bolt protecting the crux on this pitch has also been updated to 1/2"SS (it also broke quite easily while I was trying to pull it), but a fall could still be bad. There's 3"-5" pro to be had in a small left-facing corner above the bolt, but it is in questionable rock. Instead of building an anchor in this crappy corner, you might just want to run it out way up and left to Disappointment Corner. You'll find good anchor pro up there.
The final pitch is very run-out 5.8 climbing. By that I mean, after searching far and wide for a long time, I found just one laughably poor piece in ~70'. It's easy climbing, though. Either join Disappointment Corner, or cast off into the blank unknown in the hopes you'll find Helm's Deep's anchors or some other place to build an anchor...
Rack: singles 00-0 BD cams, doubles from 0.3 BD-#3 BD cams, + a #4 if you're going to the top; stoppers; RPs/offsets very helpful.

Good to see the new anchors. I'm surprised we were drilling 1/4"s with Leepers then. Thought we'd switched to 3/8"... Drilling the bolt on the lead on the second pitch took for freaking forever. Partly due to my awesome drilling technique but more likely to the high quartz content in the rock. The reason the 2nd pitch is run out is because I just didn't want to stop and drill again and it kept looking like it would get easier... That's how many "test pieces" ended up established BITD.
Some thoughts on the FA: as JS mentions others had tried this arching crack, including a few of the big name traveling climbers. Steve was hot to try it and got out to where it gets weird (crack thins out? you climb down and back up?)
He came down and I though I'd give it a go and managed to get out to the crack's end? It was one of (probably THE) first time Steve had retreated and I'd pushed the route higher. But at the end of the crack I could see no where to go and no way to rig a drill stance.
Yes, if you are under a certain height you almost certainly have to lunge and then to some tiny holds. I tried a number of climb arounds (out right, down and out left, etc...) and finally managed to pull it off with some radical lunges (and probably a few pounds of help on the rope, if I know Steve, he was ready for me to get the freak up the pitch.)
Steve's lead of this face was remarkable and in my mind represented 5.12 climbing. I suppose if you can face climb it then maybe it's not but damn... Beyond that, the gear (at least then, and I don't see how modern gear will help much) was practically non-existent for 11+ face climbing which means you're looking at a real whipper back down to the crack and you're not all that high off the ground.
SG protected the crux moves with a sling over a nub that he worked over and over to get it to stay. The "solution" was a sideways #3 hex up against the sling and another flaring nub. The hex provided just enough friction to hold the sling in place.
I think JS told me when he did the second, he didn't even bother trying to get the sling but just went for the flight.
For awhile I lobbied Steve to place at bolt at the crux because I would never go up there and fall all over it trying to work out the moves to the good hold. But I'm glad he ignored my whining. There are plenty of hard face climbs around with big fat bolts at your face. Not so many desperate face climbs with tricky gear and the required head and ability to pull off the moves. Just not part of the game anymore. Nice to have a few of these test pieces still around for folks to attempt.
I've been involved in a number of amazing climbing days with Steve and we've pulled off a few real classics but this day has to rank up there as possibly our hardest climbing day together. And while Steve did bag the truly amazing leads this day, I contributed to both climbs by solving previously unclimbed sections. After Baradur we were driving down the mountain and stopped at Chimney where we put up Ankles Away. Both climbs were pushing up against the realm of trad 12A relative to what we had previously climbed. It was a day that exemplifies how great partnerships can work together to sometimes become more than the sum of the parts. Although when you have Steve as a partner, you already have an uncountable sum.
I will have to add a disclaimer though to Andy's statement that the first pitch is completely safe. Now he's been on it much more recently than I and so has a fresh perspective but my recollection is that if you took the fall up there off the crux face, you're going to take about a 20 footer onto gear? That might be enough to stop a few hearts... ;-)
FYI - the companion route to this is The Bridge of Khazad-dûm, also on Rap. Just right of Helm's Deep I think. Probably closer to an X than an R with sketchier rock.

Thanks for sharing your stories Paul...that sounds like quite a day! And a partnership.
In response to your comment about the crux protection, I'll just say that I found plenty of thin gear, but I didn't really want to test it. I spent quite a long time building nests...but I think everything together would've been adequate to keep me above the roof corner. Placing it on-point is another matter...
I tried wrapping that same chicken-nub too, but gave up pretty fast when my crux attempts easily pulled it off placement.
Again, RPs are very useful on Mt Lemmon...

OverviewMcFarland Peak is a beautiful, rugged and imposing limestone peak hidden deep within the northern portion of the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada. Lying to the north of Mt. Charleston, its nearest neighbors are Bonanza Peak and Macks Peak. Along with Bridge Mountain, Muddy Peak, and Moapa Peak, McFarland Peak is considered one of the Vegas-area classics.
Although visible from highway 95 while traveling to the north of Las Vegas, McFarland Peak disappears behind ridges and other mountains as one enters the forest lands of the high mountains. The mountain is very much tucked away and out of sight in the backcountry of the range.
The seldom visited summit happens to be the 4th highest peak in the range as well as in the southern part of the state. Considered by many to be the hardest summit in the Spring Mountains, it is a very worthwhile objective for anyone wanting a peaceful, and relatively challenging, outing in the backcountry.
Although the Spring Mountains boast a number of nice (and frequently hard to find) springs, it is not known for its bodies of water. However, tucked away deep in the backcountry and easily missed is the range's only lake, actually a pond, officially named Clark Pond, an acre body of water that can be seen (though not visited) from one of the high ridges on the way to McFarland Peak.
I read somewhere once that it was estimated that fewer than a dozen people (not parties) a year tag the summit. This, of course, is what drew me to the peak.
Its easiest route, from the Bonanza Trail, is primarily class 1 with some class 2 & 3 toward the end and entails about 15 miles (roundtrip) of ups and downs with about 3500-4000 feet of gain.
A second known route, a cross country route different from the Cold Creek route mentioned below, coming out of Cold Creek, a small community located at the base of Bonanza Peak, is also used; however, I've never used it, and except for the fact that I know it to be shorter, more direct, and more challenging, I am unfamiliar with it.
*You might also check out a fledgling outdoor site (www.backcountry-explorer.com), which provides access to trip reports, beta, photos and other stuff covering hiking, scrambling, climbing and canyoneering around Las Vegas. A new hiking and scrambling guidebook, Rambles & Scrambles: The Definitive Guide to Peakbagging Around Las Vegas, is now available.
Getting ThereAs stated above, McFarland Peak is generally accessed from the Bonanza Trail. The Bonanza Trail is a fine, and remarkably well-maintained, trail that connects the upper parking lot of the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort with the community of Cold Creek. Although I've never done the thru-route, I'm told that the entire 16 mile stretch of the trail makes a fantastic backcountry outing. Closer to the Cold Creek end of the route, the trail passes within a short distance (100 feet) of the summit of Bonanza Peak.
Bonanza Trail from Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort:
Take Highway 95 north from Las Vegas to the Lee Canyon Road turn-off. The turn-off is about 45 minutes drive from downtown Las Vegas, depending on traffic and road conditions, and there is obvious signage for Lee Canyon and the ski resort. Don't confuse the Lee Canyon turn-off with the Kyle Canyon turn-off though. Kyle Canyon Road is the first turn-off along Highway 95 that takes you to the Mt. Charleston area. Lee Canyon Road is about 10 minutes later. Anyway, turn left (west) onto Lee Canyon Road from Highway 95 and keep driving. It's 19 miles to the ski resort. Along the way, you will pass through the nice Joshua tree forests of the desert before passing into the pinyon/juniper woodlands of the mid-range and ultimately to the ponderosa pine forests of the upper canyon. Not only that, but visible from the road (particularly the lower portion of the road nearest to highway 95) are the prominent peaks of the range (left-to-right - wish I had a picture) - Angel Peak (8,861 ft - antennas on top - off-limits due to being the location of the Spring Mountain Youth Camp, a juvenile correctional facility), Fletcher Peak, Mummy Mountain, Mt. Charleston, The Sisters, Macks Peak, McFarland Peak (barely visible behind Mack's Peak), Bonanza Peak, and Willow Peak (9,967 ft - a nice winter summit, by the way). Anyway, once the area of the ski resort is reached, follow the road past the lower parking lot, around a sharp bend in the road, and up to the upper parking lot. The trailhead, which is actually the Bristlecone Trail trailhead, is your starting point. This is the route that will be discussed in further detail in the route section. It is considered the easiest route to the summit of McFarland Peak.
Bonanza Trail from Cold Creek:
Take Highway 95 north from Las Vegas past both the Kyle Canyon Road and the Lee Canyon Road turn-offs on the left. Your turn-off, the Cold Creek turn-off, will be the third turn-off on the left and about an hour north of downtown Las Vegas. You can't miss it - there are huge prison facilities on both sides of the Cold Creek road, immediately off the highway. Turn onto the Cold Creek road and follow it for 15-20 miles into the small community (no services). Stay on the main road until it turns into a dirt road near the base of Bonanza Peak (the large heavily-forested peak above the community; Willow Peak is also looming over the community to the north of Bonanza Peak, but you won't be confused since it was damaged by a large fire and is essentially treeless). Follow the dirt road for a couple of miles (the road deteriorates but is still passable to passenger cars) to an obvious parking area and a Bonanza Trail trailhead sign. Keep your eyes peeled for wild horses around the trailhead - they are everywhere. I think I saw 7 the one time I was there. This is the start of the hike from Cold Creek. I have never taken the trail past Bonanza Peak's summit area from this starting point, therefore, I will not be discussing this route further.
Red TapeThere really isn't any red tape. No permits are required to climb the mountain. Parking is free.
When To ClimbMcFarland Peak can be climbed year-round. In the winter, there will be lots of snow and the approach will be long and sloggish. Not only that, but there's a particular gully before the summit that will be prone to avalanche.
McFarland Peak makes a fine summer outing, though.
The snow first starts to fall around the middle of October and tends to linger until June on northern exposures.
CampingBackcountry camping is allowed without a permit, although wood fires are not. There are many developed campgrounds in the Mt. Charleston area. I'm not here to advertise them. They are generally walk-in and are all easily found when driving through the area. I can think of two off the top of my head in Lee Canyon, but none in the Cold Creek area.
Mountain ConditionsYou can contact the Kyle Canyon Visitor's Center at 702-872-5486 to obtain current conditions for the Spring Mountains.

Wenger: Ozil now over penalty miss
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes midfielder Mesut Ozil allowed his penalty miss against Bayern Munich last month to affect him too much as the Gunners prepare for the return leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against the Bundesliga side.
- Wenger praises Ozil 'dirty work'
- Cox: Ozil returns to form as Arsenal win
- Mangan: Gunners show character
- McNicholas: Giroud reiterates his worth
Ozil looked back to somewhere near his best in Saturday's FA Cup quarterfinal win against Everton. That upturn in form is well-timed, as the Gunners need to overturn a 2-0 deficit on Tuesday at the Allianz Arena if they are to reach the last eight.
Wenger is convinced his club-record signing has now recovered from the emotional disappointment of his weak spot-kick, that was saved by Bayern's Manuel Neuer at the Emirates, and can spearhead a comeback for the Londoners.
"I think it affected him mentally too much, the penalty he missed against Bayern. It was not only physical, it was mental," Wenger told national newspapers.
"He had the feeling he let the team down at a very important moment of the game, that affected his performance very much. Psychologically sometimes the wound is like a physical one. You can talk and talk and talk, but it takes time. You just have to leave it to time.
"I think he is over it. He has a good opportunity to show on Tuesday how good he is."
Wenger believes the jubilant celebrations that followed Ozil's goal against Everton at the weekend was evidence that his teammates appreciated the importance of his strike.
"It was certainly important to him and to the team as well," added Wenger. "I like the way he finished against Everton, in a calm, convincing way. He made great runs and was absolutely outstanding from the first to the last minute."
Meanwhile, Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is convinced his side can pull off a Champions League revival in Munich. When asked whether they can mount a memorable turnaround, he said: "Yes, 100 percent.
"Last season we went there 3-1 down, everyone wrote us off, but we managed to get a good 2-0 win there. We will be feeling we can take from that and from Saturday's performance [against Everton].
"In football a lot of things can happen. We are top side, they will know the job is not done and we know the job is not done."

Sun POST Newspapers
When Barb Bechard started collecting coats in 1999 to donate to families in need, she set a goal of giving 25 coats. The Fridley resident gave 150.
The next year she thought she could collect 200. She got 500.
Now, she makes it her goal each year to collect 1,000 coats for the Coats for Kids program through Brooklyn Park-based Pilgrim Cleaners.
"It's just kind of become a mission for me," she said. "I love doing it."
Bechard gets them from family and friends who outgrow or no longer want their coats, but she also hunts garage sales and thrift stores for bargains.
Sometimes she'll include her grandchildren in the search for good deals.
"It's kind of nice to get the family involved," she said. "That's kind of neat, because it's teaching the next generation to give back. … I think we all should be giving back in (our) own ways."
It has become harder in recent years to reach her goal, Bechard said. She thinks people are keeping things longer since the recent recession. But that hasn't stopped her from working hard to help, because she believes strongly in the Coats for Kids program.
Bechard has already collected more than three quarters of her target number this year.
"I am short about 200 right now, and I've got about another month to get the other 200," she said. "I'm working hard, I'm trying to hit a lot of garage sales."
This year, the Coats for Kids program's overall goal is collecting 10,000 coats. The collection drive runs through Friday, Oct. 11.
Pilgrim Cleaners has collected more than 385,000 coats since it started the program in 1986. Sun Newspapers, WCCO Radio, KARE 11 and Subway are sponsors.
Anyone who wants to donate a gently used coat can take it to any of the 25 Pilgrim Cleaners locations or the Sun Newspapers offices in Eden Prairie and Osseo. The program accepts coats for children and adults. Go online to find the location nearest you.
Pilgrim will clean the coats and give them to eight metro-area charities, which will distribute them to those in need.
Community members can also send monetary gifts to the Coats for Kids fund, c/o Pilgrim Cleaners, 3217 85th Ave. N., Brooklyn Park, 55443. One hundred percent of donations will go toward purchasing new children's coats.
Schools are encouraged to organize their own coat drives. The school that collects the most will win a Subway Party and a plaque for the school.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 climbed 0.85% as WTI crude oil nearly touched seven-month lows.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Pete Najarian, co-founder of optionmonster.com and trademonster.com, said the U.S. stock market wants to move higher and so long as the geopolitic tensions do not rise, the S&P 500 seems likely to break through 2,000.
Steve Grasso, director of institutional sales at Stuart Frankel, said the markets seem poised to go higher over the short term, but the "high beta" stocks like Twitter (TWTR) need to continue higher for the S&P 500 to breach 2,000.

Karen Finerman, president of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, said it's good to see the financial sector rallying. It seems like the path of least resistance is higher for the U.S. equity market.
Guy Adami, managing director of stockmonster.com, said a slowdown in corporate earnings seems like the only thing can truly derail the market. However, earnings have been good while biotech stocks continue to soar.
Dennis Gartman, editor and publisher of The Gartman Letter, said coal supplies 41% of U.S. electricity and 43% of global electricity. The sector has been beaten up, but Gartman suggested buying a basket of coal stocks. He argued that coal seem poised to move higher; with a basket of stocks, some will do well, some will do really well and some may go bankrupt, but that's what the reason for diversification.
Najarian said there has been bullish options activity in the December and January expirations for multiple coal stocks. However, he is a buyer of Caterpillar (CAT) , which has been doing well due to construction. However, if the mining business improves, Caterpillar should do really well, he said.
Finerman said the corporate debt (bonds) for these coal companies are trading at major discounts. She recommended that interested investors do what Gartman suggested, and buy a basket of stocks.
Grasso said shares of Aeropostale (ARO) are moving higher due to positive management changes and more importantly, a high short interest, which is forcing short-sellers to cover their position.

Finerman said investors should "look elsewhere" when deciding whether to buy Aeropostale. She likes shares of Macy's (M) and Urban Outfitters (URBN) more.

shea moisture+ecostyler gel= weird residue?
hello fellow curlies!,
I am a natural with 4/a/b hair that is coarse on the outside, but sort of fine at the crown. my two favorite products are the ecostyler and shea moisture curling smoothie, but when I mix them together, it pills up and leaves a weird residue. Initially i thought that it was my leave in conditioner ( cantu shea butter leave in) but that wasnt teh case. why do you think this is?:scratch: please help!
I have used the eco styler gel with the curl smoothie and I have never had issues with a residue. Maybe you are using too much of both or either product and it is causing some build up?
only shea moisture product that does the residue thing with eco styler in my case has been the raw shea butter deep treatment masque and even that goes away as it dries. How do you apply your products?
It is the SM smoothie that is causing the white residue. U r using too much. Limit amount to 1 tsp if u have short hair like me (4a hair that would be mid neck if relaxed).

Philly-area women feeling shortage of some generic birth control brands
Pharmacies in the Delaware Valley and beyond are reporting shortages of certain types of birth control pills.
The shortages seem to be centered on four types of generic pills made by Teva Pharmaceuticals: Camrese, Cryselle, Ocella and Aviane. Area pharmacies report they haven't been able to get shipments of some of these for weeks. Big chains CVS and Rite Aid also report sporadic shortages.
Rob Frankil, pharmacy owner and head of the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association, said he currently can't get four different types of birth control pills, three of them Teva products.
"Looks like there are some brands and some formulas that have back-order problems, not all brands," Frankil said, looking up different brands on his computer system. "In many cases, it's certain manufacturers and, in one case, one of the brand-name companies can't get the product to market right now."
Sixteen-year-old Yael Dormont and her mother said when they called their pharmacy back in mid-September for a three-month supply of Cryselle for Dormont, they were told the pharmacy was out.
"I had to call the doctor's office to get a different prescription," Yael said.
This month, when the Bala Cynwyd teen called again, that second prescription, Ocella, was out.
"They said they didn't have the new prescription but they had one pack, rather than three packs, of the old one," she said.
A spokeswoman at Teva said there are "supply constraints" on Camrese, Cryselle, Ocella and she expects them to be available at pharmacies again in six weeks. She also said a fourth drug, Aviane, should be available in three weeks. She would not point to a specific cause of the shortage.
Teva is the world's largest generics manufacturer and has its North American headquarters in North Wales, Pa.
Often, women can get a different generic version of their birth control pill with the same formula by talking to their pharmacist, Frankil said. If not, they may have to call their doctor to get their prescription switched.

How to Use a Pillow Case as an Emergency Laptop Sleeve
Geek Tip: Use a Pillow Case as an Emergency Laptop Sleeve
Ever rushing out on a trip and realize you need a laptop sleeve like one of these chic styles? Or sometimes you're just trying to get out the door when you don't have a laptop bag or sleeve handy, and you need to slip your computer into another bag — and you don't want to let it bang up against the other contents of your bag.
For those times, hit up your linen closet for a pillow case. Slip your computer into the bottom, fold the excess fabric over, and bam, slip that into your bigger bag. It's not heavy duty protection, obviously, but it'll shield your laptop from superficial scratches and dents.
This is especially great if you're carrying on your laptop for a flight but don't want to carry it in a separate bag (especially now that so many airlines charge you to check any bags), or if your laptop sleeve's padding takes up a little more room than you'd like. Easy, clever, and not even as low rent as using a sock as a camera case.

Some male students held a "draft" to pick a prom date. Some of the draft results appeared on Twitter. That Twitter account has since been deactivated.
Some students say the draft involved a small group of people.
Eyewitness News did try to talk with the school principal, but Corona del Mar High School said she was not commenting. District officials say she did send a letter to parents on Friday when she became aware of a rumor of a prom draft.
"I am sure that the intention of this 'draft' is not to be harmful, but it may be. It is not okay for any student to be objectified or judged in any way," Principal Kathy Scott said in the letter.
In her message, Scott also urged parents to talk with students about the seriousness of this, saying: "Prom is an important event in the lives of our students and I would hate to have to cancel it or any other important student-related activity due to the negative actions of a few."

text: I have just begun experimenting with sizing papers with gelatin. Upon drying, I see minute sparkly things embedded in the gelatin, which show through in the final prints (cyanotype and Van Dyke Brown). The sparkly stuff shows through clearly and seem to act as a resist to the sensitizer coating. Anyone know what these things are made of? Can they be filtered out somewhere down the process of preparing the gelatin? I am using an experimental dilution of 1 packet Knox gelatin (7 g.) to 500ml distilled water. I find that the dilution is viscuous enough for sizing, but not so thick that the gelatin sets in the container. Any information will be helpful.

Mick signs up new fanbase
PUBLISHED: 06:00 03 November 2012
HE may have only been in Ipswich for a couple of days and not had time to start wheeling and dealing in the transfer market, but new Town boss Mick McCarthy has already signed up a legion of new fans.
The Championship strugglers have been "adopted" by radio star Chris Evans after a light-hearted, but telling, live chat with McCarthy on his show yesterday.
The Yorkshire-born Irish legend is known for his plain-speaking and he has been an occasional guest on Evans' Radio Two show during his sabbatical from the cut and thrust of football management.
So he was happy to talk to the DJ as he got ready to pick and prepare his squad for today's crucial Championship match at Birmingham.
Evans is clearly not that familiar with this part of the country – he thinks it is out of this world!
He asked McCarthy if he was already house-hunting: "Because Ipswich is further away than Mars – you know that?"
And his experience of travelling to Ipswich will not have chimed with too many Suffolk people.
He told McCarthy: "No offence to Ipswich. I went there about eight weeks ago. I've never driven to Ipswich before but it seems so far away because the roads are so beautiful but they'r pretty desolate!"
That will have left many people wondering what route he took to reach Ipswich from London, because two words that don't sum up the A12 through Essex are beautiful or desolate!
While the interview was light-hearted, there were some telling replies from McCarthy. When Evans asked him what he was looking forward to doing with his family on days off his reply was blunt.
"I don't think I'll be getting too many days off. Have you seen where Ipswich are in the league? We're bottom of the league, six points to get out of the bottom three. I think I might be grafting most days to be honest!"
He said Paul Jewell and Chris Hutchins were good friends of his – but this was the way of the world in football.
McCarthy said: "Paul knows. You go in and do the job. If it goes well you get lauded for it. If it doesn't go well you get the tin-tack (sack). That's the way it goes!"
Whether the new Town boss has time to do more chats on the Chris Evans show is not clear – but at least the club has been adopted by Britain's top DJ.

Vikings' Mike Zimmer jokes he won't put Brandon Bostick on hands team
The Minnesota Vikings claimed tight end Brandon Bostick after he was waived by the Green Bay Packers on Monday, and coach Mike Zimmer let the press know that he was familiar with Bostick's strengths and weaknesses.
Zimmer said Brandon Bostick adds depth, competition at TE. And he joked, "We'll try not to put him on the onside kick team." #Vikings— Matt Vensel (@mattvensel) February 19, 2015
For those who have forgotten, Bostick botched the recovery of a crucial onside kick in the NFC Championship Game against the Seahawks, allowing Seattle to continue its unlikely comeback and head to a second consecutive Super Bowl.
• Bold new concept for NFL helmets
Bostick worked his way up to the Green Bay roster from the practice squad, and spent three years in total with the Packers before being released.

Charming villas embrace traditional neighborhood design
The people behind the development and sales of Ravinia Courtyard Villas are very excited about the community. "We are proud of our unique, single-story living concept and our maintenance-free lifestyle," said Larry Ross, sales manager. "We wanted to do something completely different for this area. "We are reinterpreting the concept of a traditional neighborhood design with clusters of charming villa style homes on tree-lined streets, with lush green landscaped spaces, nature trails and an outdoor recreation area. What we're all about here is a maintenance-free lifestyle with fabulous amenities in a beautiful natural setting." Terri Jennings, a Realtor with Prudential Tropical Realty, said that the idea of a maintenance-free lifestyle is appealing to a wider range of buyers today than ever before."With today's busy lifestyles, maintenance free living is the way to go," she added. The people who have purchased homes in Ravinia Courtyard Villas are just as proud of the community and are pleased to have a new home in the northwest Hillsborough County neighborhood. Dr. Richard Hoffmann and his wife Marilyn had been looking for such a community. "We had been looking for a spacious, high-quality, one-story, no maintenance home for several years and finally found it in Ravinia," Marilyn Hoffmann explained. "We absolutely love our new home in Ravinia, which is of the very highest quality," Richard Hoffmann said. "The building process, from beginning to end, was very easy because of the superb staff who assisted us and built our home." "Overall, our expectations were exceeded on every count," Marilyn Hoffmann said. "We hear similar comments from our buyers all the time," Ross said. "They are pleased with the ease of upkeep inside and out, the convenient location, the community-provided yard maintenance and the quality new construction." The community amenities are underway and include a beautiful lake house, which will feature a resort-style pool, a large private fitness center, an indoor/outdoor catering kitchen and space for activities. A dog park with an off-leash play area and a linear park, with benches and fountains, are also in the works, but the homes are the focus of the gated community, according to Ross. "The floor plans are very open and range in size from 1,800 to 2,432 square feet of air conditioned space," Ross said. "The smallest villa has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a den and a two-car garage, while the largest villa has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an optional half bathroom and a two-car garage. Each villa has a covered front entry with oversized 8-foot doors and features a private courtyard. "The luxury courtyards are the heart of the homes. The courtyards are paved with natural travertine stone and are accessible from the villas through eight-foot French doors. They are very private with high walls, and each includes a raised planter with power and water. Owners can create their own personal oasis and customize it with a fountain. The villas are an indoor/outdoor living concept, and you can really bring the outside indoors." All of the villas have beautiful gourmet kitchens with 42-inch cabinets, an eat-in breakfast area that overlooks the courtyard, a stylish island with bar stool seating and a GE Energy Star appliance package, according to Ross. Other standard features of the villas include ceramic tile and stain resistant carpet, 9-foot-4-inch ceilings, two-panel doors with nickel finish lever handles, state-of-the-art wiring for electronics and a full laundry room. The Ravinia Courtyard Villas are built using both green technology and universal design concepts, making them energy efficient, healthy living environments for all stages of life. The green technologies include double-pane low E windows throughout the home, a high-efficiency central air conditioning system, ¾ inch plywood for the roofs, dual-flush toilets, compact fluorescent lighting, MERV 11 air filters, R-30 blown-in roof insulation, R-11 batt insulation, R-4.2 foil insulation, high-efficiency 50-gallon water heaters and Energy Star GE appliances. "Ravinia is developing into a wonderful community to call home," Marilyn Hoffmann said. "We are very happy we chose Ravinia." Ravinia Courtyard Villas is conveniently located at 6915 Mushinski Road, off Henderson Road between Linebaugh Avenue and Gunn Highway.

text: Mountaineer O-line still a work in progress By Dave Hickman October 31, 2013 Story Share Courtesy photo WVU coach Dana Holgorsen said offensive lineman Quinton Spain had his best game as a Mountaineer last week against Kansas State. MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - It's an easy thing to point to when a football team's offense isn't playing well.Blame the offensive line.Trouble running the ball? The line isn't opening holes.Difficulty passing? The quarterback is being harassed, the receivers don't have time to run their routes and both can be pinned on the line.Shoot, even if a team is moving the ball but can't get out of its own way because of penalties, what are the most frequently called offensive fouls? That's right, holding and illegal procedure, more often than not by linemen.But while it's an easy an all-encompassing excuse, often times it's true. And how true it is regarding West Virginia's struggling offense is perhaps a matter for debate."It's like everything else with our football team,'' Dana Holgorsen said in regard to his team's offensive line play. "The consistency's not winning football.''Eight games into the season, West Virginia's offense can point to all of the above as faults. The Mountaineers aren't running the ball well (89th in the country), throwing it well (100th in pass efficiency and 102nd in completion percentage), converting third downs (111th), holding on to the ball (112th in turnovers) and the team as a whole is 77th in penalty yards. Would better offensive line play help? There's no question it would, and perhaps the Mountaineers are making progress.It's been slow progress, though."We have been improving up front,'' Holgorsen said. "Quinton Spain played the best game he's ever played [last week at Kansas State]. Pat Eger continues to get better. His first 16-17 snaps were really good and then he went down.''Indeed, injuries have played a part in the problems up front. Eger went down early in the Kansas State game and didn't return. He's questionable this week against TCU. Spain also went down briefly last week, but returned. Adam Pankey, who was being counted on to help this season, missed much of the first half of the season after knee surgery last winter. The bottom line is that the season to date has consisted of a lot of experimentation. The middle of the line - both guards and the center - had to be replaced and Holgorsen went with Tyler Orlosky in the middle and Marquis Lucas and Mark Glowinski at the guards, all playing for the first time. Only Glowinski has remained a consistent starter with Eger replacing Orlosky and Spain moving from tackle to guard in place of Lucas.Curtis Feigt has started every game at right tackle, but when Spain was moved to guard, Nick Kindler took over at left tackle. Now Orlosky - who didn't even play two games after being replaced by Eger - is back in the mix because of Eger's injury, and Pankey continues to work himself back into playing form after his long layoff.In other words, it's still a work in progress. "Orlosky, Pankey, Marquise are young. They're going to keep improving,'' Holgorsen said. "In my opinion, [Curtis] Feigt and [Nick] Kindler need to get better. I think they took just a small step back last week and they know that and their challenge is to get out there and get better this week.''Spain's performance against Kansas State was, of course, a bright spot. Long considered the lineman with the most potential, the 6-foot-5, 335-pound junior has not always lived up to the billing."He played physical and he played tough on every snap,'' first-year line coach Ron Crook said. "Now he has to be consistent and do that on every snap in every game.''If he and the rest of the line do that, there seems little doubt things will improve. No, West Virginia isn't set everywhere else. The receivers are still inconsistent, the running backs seem to play in spurts and the quarterback situation has been a mess all year.But at least some of that can be helped - or perhaps disguised - by better line play."You can have average receivers if you have a great offensive line,'' Holgorsen said. "I feel differently about the quarterback position. You need good quarterback play regardless if you have a good offensive line or a bad offensive line. The good quarterbacks can bail out a bad offensive line at times. I don't know if a great offensive line can bail out a bad quarterback.'' It would be interesting, though, to see what the offense could accomplish with some solid play up front. It could be one of the most important aspects involved as the Mountaineers attempt to win three of their last four games and become bowl eligible."It's still inconsistent. They're still learning to play together and still improving," Holgorsen said. "I am pleased with their effort and their attitude and their will to get better and continuously try to improve.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

7mm Weatherby Mag bolt replacement?
I'm new to site, hope to find an answer. I was shooting my weatherby today and removed the bolt. I am unable to replace it in the action as it appears that the firing pin is not set. How can I set the pin with the bolt out of the action?
Since the Weatherby, as all modern bolt actions are, is cock on opening, the firing pin should be cocked unless you rotated the striker assembly on the bolt body. I believe if that happened, it needs to be rotated clockwise to re cock (someone else chime in on my direction of rotation?).
If you didn't manually rotate the bolt body, try depressing the trigger during reinsertion of the bolt, or manipulate (upon reinsertion) whatever mechanism is used to release the bolt (not sure on Weatherby rifles if there is a separate bolt release). Good luck.
You are right, turning the cocking piece clock wise looking at the the back of the bolt cocks the firing pin. Some how this got posted twice and we got him going yesterday.

Does my workout seem acceptable?
Could you guys take a look at my WO plan, and give me some pointers? Here is my 3-day layout, all are done using the 5x5 technique in supersets, which alternate between pulling and pushing (for torso).
Torso day (Monday)
T-bar rows/benchpress
JS rows/hammerpress
One-arm rows/deadlifts
Good mornings/chinups and rack pullups when I can't do any more
For legs (Thursday)
Leg press (about 2x as heavy as squat)/lunges
For Cardio, I run once a week, for 2 miles, using the HIIT method, and I'll do a trail run for about .75 mile, as well as a few laps around the pool. Are there any pointers/things you feel I should change?
Thanks in advance.
What are your goals?
To get swollen!! Really, though, to gain as much muscle mass as I can, and to reduce my body fat% over time.
Monday looks like a little much. I don't see the point in supersetting everything. It's really better, imo, to leave the big lifts alone so you can get the most out of them and then superset secondary things.
With the way you have things set up a circuit would make more sense then a bunch of supersets. That is actually how Bill Starr often recommended to do his 5x5 routines.
Rows/deadlifts...really just going to comprimise intensity and progression on both exercise. You won't be giving either on it's due. Try deadlfit/ab flexion (or something like that).
Supersetting squats and deadlfits...that's just crazy, imo.
Supersetting squats and MP's would make more sense. And then having a deadlfit variation or something.
Some of the other combinations don't make a lot of sense either.
If you are only working out two days a week you may as well distribute the volume one everything between those two days.
Ok, I'm going to workout tonight, how do you recommend I do the WO? So far, I will do situps w/ the deads, and what are MPs?
MP's = Military press
Personally I would scrap this scheme, and for the next week find your 5 rep maxes for the big 3 (unless of course you've done that already). Then I would start a linear progression 5x5 that is already set up for beg/intermediate lifters, like the bill starr 5x5 which I like a lot. No need to re-invent the wheel IMO.
Oh, I just noticed...you said a three day layout but I only see Monday and Thursday. Did you leave out a day or did you mean cardio as part of your layout?
An intermediate 5x5 might be a good idea but if you like to workout this way there is nothing wrong with it. You just don't want to overuse one tool like supersets. There are a lot of advantages to doing some supersets. At the same time you are going to tend to drop intensity somewhat if you do all supersets so like I said...you should at least have your primary movements by themselves. After that there may be no reason why you have to do 5x5 on everything.
If Monday and Thursday are your two weight days I would suggest something like this (only suggestions)
Deads 2-3x5
Bench/Row 3 to 4 sets 6 to 8 reps
Lunge or other single leg squat variation/dumbell push press (same set rep scheme as above)
Chins or pullups/static core exercise like planks: 3 sets each (core exercise is done for time and chins to or near failure)
Squats 5x5
Bench variation/Row variation 3 sets of 8 to 12
Dead variation or goodmornings/ab flexion
Those suggestions are based on what you posted...
If you want to add accessoris I'd prob put them one Thursday since that gives you more time off. But with two days you can pretty much just distribute the volume evenly.
^^ on the superset issue, fatique will set in much more quickly while doing supersets. Its not optimal for pushing/pulling the heaviest loads, which is what you want to be doing (if you want to gain strenght/mass at this point).
I'm not knocking them, I use them and i like supersets a lot, just not in this perticular instance.
It helps when you do it in this sort of antagonistic fashion. Most bodybuilding writers only look at supersets as same/same type of thing. When you do true antagonists there is actually some evidence that it helps to increase strenght output. But a lot of times "atagonist" is really just dong something more or less opposite. But I agree...certainly not optimal for absolute strength and power. I wouldn't make a career out of it.
And it's also why I separated the big movers and gave them space of their own. But if a guy is able to progress, maintains good technique, and likes doing it, I'm not going to knock it too much. It does have it's advantages...such as balancing things out in a timely fashion.
They also promote your body working as a whole, recovery, etc. That can pay off down the line. It'll promote fat-burning which is one of his goals.
If it were up to me I'd just put supersets on at would just put supersets on at the end of the workouts, though.
I've noticed a lot of people fail to balance out their routines because of time but fail to utilize supersets or tri-sets which help greatly in that instance.
I'd like to point out John, that when many bodybuilding types mention "intensity" they mean "how hard it feels" more or less. The reason I say more or less is you'd have a hard time getting them to pin down what the hell they really mean by it. Which is why something so objective is somewhat useless. When most of us on this site say intensity we mean how close your are working to you 1RM (one rep maximum).
i'm so stealing that when i get back at it :)

text: We booked our Aug 1-13th flight with United in Feb. I check my reservations every once in a while, just to make sure nothing has changed. Good thing I checked this AM!! United has merged with another airline and they totally changed my flights. We were leaving DesMoines at 6:00 AM, arriving in Chicago 7:30 Leaving Chicago at 9:00 into MCO at 12:30...... United changed my flight to leaving DM at 6:00 AM Leaving chicago at 6:10 AM I was on hold with United for 55 minutes and they finally changed my flights. I had upgraded to "economy plus" at the time of originally booking....well the new plane from DM to Chicago is so small they, do not even offer economy plus seats. I am having to request a refund on-line. Has anyone ever been refunded from United and how long does it take? Check your flights and hopefully you won't be affected to much!

Record-Breaking Crowd Sends Message to Legislators
The New Hampshire legislature is known as the third-largest representative body in the world, ranking behind U.S. Congress and British Parliament. It also has an interesting tradition that all bills newly introduced get an up or down vote by the entire body. This makes for high-stakes legislation, explaining in part why all 400-plus seats in Representatives Hall and the visitors gallery were filled, with homeschoolers standing in aisles and doorways, and lines extending out the door and down several flights of stairs. Homeschool parents came to show their concern over proposed legislation that would radically rewrite the way they must annually assess their students.
Former State Senator Dave Wheeler, who is also a Christian Home Educators of New Hampshire (CheNH) board member, said he thinks the attendance was record-breaking, "I can't remember there ever being such a large crowd of homeschoolers at the State House, ever."
Rep. Scott Merrick of Lancaster, a member of the Education Committee, thought that the showing proves the bills are unnecessary. "I think if we take a look at the crowd, the homeschool community seems to be pretty well aware of the RSAs," said Merrick. House Bill 368 would require participating agencies to send a copy of the law and "other resources" to parents. While in the act of complying with the law by submitting a notice of intent, parents would have to "affirm" that they intend to comply with the law.
House Bill 367, the more onerous of two proposed changes to New Hampshire's homeschool law, would require parents to provide to public school authorities both a portfolio evaluation conducted by a certified teacher and standardized test results. Authorities would then have the discretion to determine whether a homeschool program should continue.
Close to 100 people testified against the bills, while less than 10 testified in favor. Those testifying in favor of the bill included Mary Heath, deputy commissioner of education and Roberta Tenny of the Department of Education.
"This is meant to be informative, not punitive," said Heath. "I'm speaking for the parents who aren't here today, who may not have the depth of understanding."
Rep. Judith Day, the sole sponsor of the bills, tried to explain that her intent was to help—not harm—children in the state. However, the overwhelming testimony ran 10 to 1 against the proposed legislation. "This was not an attempt to end homeschooling," said Day.
Rep. David Bates of Windham testified that superintendents of two school systems in his district were opposed to these bills because they were unnecessary and would place more work on their already overloaded public school staff. Responding to the argument from the few proponents of the legislation that 5–15% of homeschoolers are failing, Bates told the committee that "When I asked the superintendents how many times there had ever been a homeschooler put on probation for failure to demonstrate educational progress in compliance with the law, the answer was 'never' ."
Bates estimated that the cost to New Hampshire taxpayers would be over a million dollars for this proposal. "When I shared my calculations with the superintendents, they told me I was being overly conservative in my estimates and that costs would likely be substantially higher."
Senator Sharon Carson, who served on the House Education Committee last year during the S.B. 337 proposal, told the committee that she didn't understand what had gone wrong with the process. "Last year we were all here, and created a study commission, and added two legislators to the Home Education Advisory Council to insure that there was communication between homeschoolers, the legislature and other stakeholders. Something has gone wrong with the process we set up to get so many people to come here to oppose this legislation."
Several homeschoolers testified, including one mother and her daughter. Responding to claims that homeschooled children are "falling through the cracks", the daughter, diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, told the assembly:
"I was in public schools for nine years. I had some good teachers, bad ones, and some who didn't care. I was one of those students who fell through the cracks, but it was a crack in the public school. I struggled through all nine years and wasn't getting an education. Finally my mom did the only thing she could—she pulled me out of the school to homeschool me. After three years at home I am now getting the education that I need."
HSLDA Staff Attorney Mike Donnelly pointed out that New Hampshire has experienced smooth relationships between homeschoolers and government since the law was passed in 1990, in contrast to surrounding states. "The troubles between the government and homeschooolers in the surrounding states of Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts have not existed in New Hampshire because you got it right the first time," Donnelly told legislators. "The current law appropriately balances the state's interest in education with parents' rights to direct the education and upbringing of children. Passing this bill would make New Hampshire's homeschool law among the nation's most restrictive," Donnelly stated.
Donnelly explained that no other state requires two evaluations. "The only state that requires portfolio evaluations every year is Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has many problems each year between homeschoolers and superintendents because the law is vague. But even in Pennsylvania children are only tested three times during their education. Requiring both testing and portfolio review every year is unreasonable and unnecessary. H.B. 367 would be a huge step backward for homeschoolers in New Hampshire and would run counter to the national trend of easing regulatory burdens on homeschoolers. Twelve states in recent years have eased the regulatory burden on homeschoolers, including Nevada, which now requires only a one-time notification and no annual assessments."
Proponents of the bill, including the sponsor, claim that the state needs more data to make sure that all children are getting an adequate education. Committee Chairman Emma Rouse told the assembly that it was the responsibility of the Education Committee to make policy for all of New Hampshire's children and not just those in the public schools. There were nearly a dozen representatives and senators who testified in opposition to the proposals.
One homeschooler testified that the idea that there was no data on homeschoolers performance was outrageous. "For nearly twenty years superintendents, non-public school principals and the Department of Education have been receiving end-of-year assessments on homeschoolers. The data is there—if you want to do the work to gather it and analyze it. And it shows what we all know—the overwhelming majority of homeschoolers are doing well and are not 'slipping through the cracks'. It doesn't make sense to impose this kind of regulation to catch the tiny fraction of homeschoolers who aren't complying with the law, especially when the law does nothing to address that specific problem."
Donnelly provided the committee with preliminary findings from a forthcoming study by Dr. Brian Ray. "Dr. Ray has found that New Hampshire homeschoolers perform better than their public school counterparts on standardized tests, and when compared to the scores of homeschooled students in more highly regulated states, New Hampshire homeschoolers' scores are slightly higher, demonstrating that increased regulation does not produce better test results."
Wrapping up the testimony at 6:30 p.m. was Jim Parison, president of CheNH. "I'd like to break the rules here and applaud Chairman Rouse for her conduct of this hearing," he said The remaining hundred or so people clapped as Chairman Rouse thanked the assembly and commented on how well behaved the children had been and how courteous everyone was during the proceedings, although at several points during the day she had threatened to clear the chamber when attendees applauded some speakers.
The Education Committee will meet sometime in the coming weeks in executive session to take up the bills and decide whether to recommend passage to the rest of the House.

UN Day 2012 Celebration at the Belgian ParliamentOct 24, 2012
Belgian authorities congratulated the UN on its 67th birthday yesterday at a UN Day discussion with Belgian, UN and UNA officials, in the Belgian Federal Parliament on the theme "The United Nations and the international community facing global challenges".
Antonio Vigilante, the head of the Brussels office of the UN and the UNDP, delivered the UN Day message of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, where he declared that the UN United Nations must "keep pace across the spectrum of its activities - peace, development, human rights, the rule of law, the empowerment of the world's women and youth."
Mr. Vigilante added that the United Nations was not only a venue for the meeting of diplomats and politicians but - among other things - fed 70 million people in 73 countries, helped 36 million refugees and ran 16 Peacekeeping missions on 4 continents with 120,000 peacekeepers.

I'm the first talk of the day in the beginner's track, so I figured I'd give a history of my Perl use, which mostly involves a lot of sysadmins asking "Why did you peg the CPU for eight hours straight?"
I wanted to call my talk "Make Computers Your Bitch By Using Perl", but I don't think I can say "bitch" in public like that without being either Nat or Damian. It's the accent, I think.
Instead, it will be something like "Making Perl Make You a Sandwich" or something, since Chris sent me the sudo make me a sandwich link earlier this week.
There's just not enough time in the day to get everything done, but most of the time our computers sit there doing nothing. I started my technology career in physics, where I started maxing out CPUs at 5 pm and kept it that way until 7 am. If someone wasn't using the computer, I had a Perl script doing something useful. I had better things to do, such as doing crosswords or playing Mineseeper. Given some Perl chops, you can get computers working for you rather than the other way around, so you too can spend more time with Minesweeper.

Cornwall is so lovely. Beautiful countryside, peace and quiet. We spent a few days just outside Liskeard with friends in a log cabin. Nice and rustic with a hot tub for chilling in the evenings all washed down with a glass of wine. We visited Port Issac, Padstow, Polperro and Looe, enjoyed some great lunches, pasties and of course cream teas. Well, I didn't because I don't like clotted cream!!

The Cuttlebug Spot is back
Tuesday, 1 November 2011
I can't believe we've had a 6 month break, but it's great to be back playing along with a my Cuttlebug Spot friends. The challenges will now be every 2 weeks and we're going to add some Cricut and stamping to our projects. For our first card, it's Anything Goes. So with Christmas coming up, I thought I'd share these little cards I made with a cute little stamp I bought from a friend. I was going to paper piece the mouse and bauble, but it was so fiddly, I decided to colour with my Promarkers. At Christmas I have so many cards to make, that I kept the layout the same, but just used whatever papers and ribbon I had to hand.
Materials used - 4" square card blanks, Cuttlebug plus Sizzix Phrases, Wishes & Kisses and Snowflakes texture plates, Sizzix Snowflakes embossing folder, Stampendous Max Bobble stamp, Sizzix Oval die, Assorted Promarkers, Papers and ribbon from my stash, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Woodware Tiny Phrases clear stamp and Glitter.

Lenses for this laser?
LZCS - 405nm 100mW Focusable Violet Laser Pointer
I was basically wondering two things.
Would I be able to swap lenses out on this laser? What would be a good starting point?
If not, what are some good external lens solutions?
Re: Lenses for this laser?
You might want to get a higher power laser before buying lenses. The G1-G2s are expensive, and the extra power you'd get would not be worth the price. You'd only get ~30mW extra at best. For close to the cost of the lens you can get a 500mW 405nm diode.
Re: Lenses for this laser?
Yeah, those G1/G2 lenses provide about a 30% increase in transmitted power over the regular glass/acrylic lenses. So that means you should do a cost calculation to determine if you could get a 30% more powerful laser for less than the $50 or so for the lens. Usually you can, especially at 100mW power levels.

The discovery this past week of war criminals in Hungary and Minnesota has given new life to Nazi-hunters who continue despite the advancing age of their prey. In fact, changes in German law may actually lead to the prosecution of more young Nazis who stood guard at death camps during World War II.
"There are at least hundreds if not thousands of them out there," said Efraim Zuroff, chief Nazi hunter for the Simon Wiesenthal Center. "The question is what are the chances of bringing them to justice."
Last week, the Associated Press reported that a 94-year-old Michael Karkoc of Minnesota lied to U.S. authorities about his activities during the war, and that he was an SS commander in the Ukraine. The Weisenthal Center has asked the Department of Justice to open an investigation.
The Last Nazis: Photos
Zuroff has been hunting Nazis for the past 30 years. He relies on tips from the general public about their neighbors or relatives who may be hiding a secret past.
Zuroff noted that an 18 year old at the end of the war in 1945 would now be 86 years old, but people are living longer. He points to Hungary charging 98-year-old Laszlo Csatary with assisting in the deaths of 15,700 Jews while working for the Nazi police in Slovakia.
Csatary fled Europe after the war and worked as an art dealer in Canada before being expelled in 2007. Zuroff got a tip that Csatary was living quietly in Budapest, where he tracked him down in 2011. Csatary was the No. 1 most wanted criminal of the Wiesenthal Center in 2012.
D-Day: On The Ground in Living Color: Photos
Zuroff defines a Nazi war criminal as anyone in the service of Nazi Germany or allied with Nazi Germany who participated in prosecution and murder of innocent civilians or those considered enemies of the Third Reich. "No one has any idea how many are still alive today, Zuroff said from his office in Israel. "This is something that took place in every single country in Europe."
Zuroff said that Austria is likely hiding the largest number of war criminals. There hasn't been a prosecution there in 30 years, he said.
In Germany, prosecutors recently announced they would begin looking for 50 prison guards for possible war crimes prosecution. German law changed recently to allow documents as well as eyewitnesses as proof of war crimes. As a result, Zuroff foresees a spike in trials in the coming years.
While there were an estimated 10 million members of the Nazi party in Germany during the war, not all of them committed crimes, according to Peter Black, senior historian at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
The work of Zuroff and others will likely continue even after the last Nazi is caught.
"The sad fact of human behavior is that even after the last Nazi offender dies," Black said, "we have more recent generations of participants in mass murder and genocide that are still young enough to prosecute."
Rows of Nazi SS troops, also known as the Schutzstaffel, stand in uniform.

JERUSALEM (May. 21)
Two Jews and three British soldiers were wounded today during a pitched battle that took place thirteen miles from Jerusalem when an Arab gang ambushed a Jewish bus and four, cars in which a group of noted Jewish leaders were riding.
The soldiers and one of the Jews, Isaiah Fishman, were seriously injured.
Among the passengers in the private cars were Eliezer Kaplan, treasurer of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, A. Katznelson of the Jewish National Council, and Eliahu Dobkin and A. Barlass of the Palestine executive of the Agency.
When the Arabs opened fire into the crowded Jewish bus and its convoy, en route from Tel Aviv to this city, the cars sped ahead and notified the British troops.
Lorries carrying soldiers immediately rushed to the scene and engaged the Arab gangsters in battle which was still being waged at 7:45 Palestine time.
The British soldiers wounded were shot during the battle. They were not in the bus at the time it was ambushed. The Jewish wounded, including Luba Pesis, who was slightly injured, were taken to the Hadassah Hospital here.
Six Arabs who threw bombs from a speeding automobile into another crowded Jewish bus leaving Tel Aviv were arrested. No casualties were reported.
Arms were distributed to Tel Aviv firemen who, starting today, are replacing traffic police. Simultaneously Jewish policemen were withdrawn from the Tel Aviv-Jaffa border districts and replaced by British policemen.
Despite the curfew imposed on all railways throughout the country and the presence of special guards along all railroad tracks, Arabs bombed a railroad bridge at Tulkarem.
It was reliably learned today that the Arabs are preparing serious demonstrations for tomorrow, the Moslem Sabbath. Some Arabs, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was informed, have quietly notified their Jewish friends not to appear on the streets because bloodshed is possible.
One Arab was gravely wounded by a British policeman when he fired as he was being searched for arms.
Bombs were thrown by Arabs at the home of the district officer in Beisan and the home of a British sergeant at Beit-Vegan.
Five hundred trees were uprooted at Gan Shlomeo, near Hedera.
Three shots were fired at the Jewish police captain, A. Silver, in Jerusalem. The shots missed their aim.
Intercessory prayers and recital of psalms were held throughout Palestine today by order of the chief rabbinate.
Jews in Safed, fearing attacks by aroused Arabs, sent a call for help to Jerusalem. Safed was the scene of serious anti-Jewish disorders during the Arab outbreak in 1929.
A transport of the Palestine Potash Co. was attacked and shot at on the road between Jerusalem and Jericho. No casualties were reported.
Orange trees numbering 830 were uprooted during the night in the vicinity of the American colony of Raanana and near the Jewish settlement of Herzliah.
Several fires were extinguished, including one set near the Palestine Electric Station on the Yarkon River.
Pinchas Ruttenberg, founder of the Palestine Electric Corp., visited High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope for two hours to discuss the question of security.
The Arab Supreme Council, which is directing the anti-Jewish strike, sent a delegation to Emir Abdullah, Arab ruler of Transjordan, to insist on his intervention in behalf of the Palestine Arabs. The Emir had previously advised the leaders to end the strike.
The Christian Arab daily, Falastin, was closed for four days by the authorities.

If anyone would like to watch video updates that I post about Invisalign, feel free to come along on my journey.
I really wanted to get Invisalign, because I couldn't stand my overbite anymore. It's one of those things that you look at pictures, and you've had enough. I am so happy with my choice to go with Invisalign. It has drastically fixed my teeth already. I'm currently on tray 19 of 30. From now on out, I'll be wearing my trays for 10 days each.
However, my ortho told me in the very beginning, that my overbite wouldn't be fixed 100%. Because of my jaw completely done growing, I would have to get corrective surgery. I'll be waiting until my treatment is done, to see I want to go through with the surgery.
I couldn't ask for better results than what Invisalign has done. It's always exciting to see results. I had spacing in between my teeth, and the gaps are closing up fast. I would recommend Invisalign to anyone!
