Resort Area - Day Time
- One might choose horseback riding or perhaps bicycle riding on the bike path which leads you from the Grecian Park to the other side of the cape.
- Others might choose aquatic adventures such as scuba diving, snorkelling, windsurfing or just a lovely swim in the sea.
- Some might choose to just relax and perhaps catch some sneak glimpses of the rare species of birds nesting in and around the park if bird watching is your hobby. Perhaps, one might choose to sit on a park bench, to enjoy the overwhelming and breathtaking view.

Toronto FC-Revolution Preview
By SANTOSH VENKATARAMAN
(AP) -- It's been an eventful week so far for Toronto FC, which has traded away one of its stars after earning a big victory.
The club will play for the first time since dealing Julian de Guzman as it tries for its first road win in seven tries against the New England Revolution on Saturday night.
De Guzman is a Canadian international who played in Germany and Spain prior to joining his hometown MLS club in 2009 as a Designated Player. He has seen his playing time decrease this year and was traded to FC Dallas on Friday for fellow midfielder Andrew Wiedeman, opening the door for Toronto (3-11-4) to sign an international star.
"Losing someone like Julian is never easy but this deal gives us increased flexibility to address areas where we have more pressing needs and opens up a Designated Player spot for our club," coach Paul Mariner told Toronto's official website.
De Guzman's last appearance for Toronto came when he played 60 minutes as a starter Wednesday in a 3-2 home victory over Vancouver. All the scoring took place in a wild second half, with Terry Dunfield coming through with the winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
"It's all about the state of mind," Mariner said. "If you keep telling yourself that you're tired, then you are tired. But if you're willing to drive on, as we did for 90-plus minutes tonight, then anything's possible."
TFC improved to 2-2-4 since Mariner replaced Aron Winter as coach June 7.
The Revolution (6-7-4) are 4-0-3 in their last seven home games, and they've outscored Toronto 14-3 in going 4-0-2 in six previous matchups at Gillette Stadium.
Toronto blew a two-goal lead in a 2-2 home draw with New England on June 23, but the Revolution were still impressed with what they saw from the league's worst team.
"Toronto's a changed team since Paul Mariner has taken over," Revolution defender Chris Tierney said. "They're well organized and they have guys that can hurt you so it'll be a tough test for us and we'll have to be at our best."
New England salvaged a point in the first meeting when substitute Blake Brettschneider scored in the 71st minute and Tierney tallied in stoppage time.
"We'll be confident in the way we played there," Tierney said. "We had a good amount of the ball and used it pretty well in the second half so we'll try to carry that momentum over."
The Revolution are completing a three-game homestand after beating New York 2-0 on Sunday. Lee Nguyen notched his third goal and substitute Jerry Bengtson scored in his MLS debut.
Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth recorded his fourth career victory in his first start with New England. Coach Jay Heaps opted to rest veteran Matt Reis, and has not decided on a starter for Saturday.
Heaps will be without midfielder Kelyn Rowe, who was suspended one game for a reckless challenge in the 87th minute versus the Red Bulls.

If you own a website or a blog you must be using Google AdSense on your websites/blogs or at least thinking about using AdSense. You must have been wondering about how much revenue does Google shares with the content publishers.
Google has disclosed the exact percentages of revenue that are disclosed with the AdSense content publishers (regular text ads, rich media and video ads) – 68% and Google Custom Search results – 51%.
To put things in perspective lets take an example Lets say your website makes $100/ day from AdSense, your share would be $68 and Google will get to keep $32 out of total $100.
Also it is worth noting that the revenue sharing numbers are available right in your AdSense Account Settings. Just log in to your AdSense account and visit Account Settings page.
Google AdSense is also available for the YouTube partner program but YouTube /Google hasn't yet disclosed revenue share (or split) with video producers.
So, do you use Google AdSense on your websites? Also do you use any other advertising programs.

Our cabin was B-16 and our daughter had the single, B6. Ours was at the back of the ship ,was spacious , had a king size bed and a private bathroom. The bed is against the mirror wall, so its a little difficult for the person sleeping next to that wall to get out of bed....continue

This Saturday, April 6 is a busy day for combat sports fans. You've got the UFC running in Stockholm, Sweden, Glory presenting a huge main event in Istanbul, Superkombat launching their 2013 season... But the fight that perhaps will have the biggest long term ramifications takes place on HBO, live from Macau, China.
Zou Shiming makes his professional boxing debut here, and it's a debut that deserves attention. That's largely because of Shiming's decoarted amateur career - he's a three time Olympic medalist, winning bronze in 2004 at age 22, then gold twice - first in 2008 and then again in 2012. Add in a host of other world amateur boxing titles, and Shiming becomes a prospect to watch. Guillermo Rigondeaux has shown that a decorated amateur with an Olympic pedigree can make a big splash on today's professional boxing circuit - can Shiming replicate that success?
Of course, Shiming's debut is about more than just those medals. It's also about what country he represented when he claimed those honors. China is a potentially huge market that right now boxing is not fully reaching. In the past few years, we've seen an interest in combat sports in China grow - MMA companies and kickboxing companies are running their regularly, and last year the UFC brought the Octagon to Macau. Now, HBO looks to throw boxing into the mix in China, and in Shiming, they believe they have an ace up their sleeve. There's already talk about what the future may hold for boxing in China, as Bob Arum has discussed his desire to bring Manny Pacquiao's next fight to either Macau or Singapore. Of course, take everything Arum says with a grain of salt, but the fact that he is even talking about China to host one of the sport's biggest draws says a lot about this potentially untapped market.
To fully tap into that market, HBO is banking on a big success on Saturday and beyond. They're hoping for Shiming to deliver on his promise - to follow the path of Rigondeaux, not the countless decorated amateurs who have crashed and burned when turning pro.
Will we know Shiming's potential after Saturday? Probably not. After all, this is a 4 round fight against a 2-1-2 Eleazar Valenzuela, who has been picked to allow Shiming to shine. So expect him to shine. In truth, we won't know his real potential as a professional for quite some time. And maybe that doesn't matter. What really matters is if the fans in China turn out to support their Olympian. If they do, then expect big things from the international boxing scene in China in the coming year as a new, potentially huge market, opens up.
HBO certainly thinks things will go that way, and that Zou Shiming will be the key. They'll put their theory to the test this Saturday.
Join us here at Bloody Elbow for HBO Boxing Shiming vs. Valenzuela live from Macau results, discussion, and live fight coverage this Saturday, April 6 at 2:00 p.m. ET on HBO2.

Scripps Pier walkers watch the sun set and moon rise
Naturalists at Birch Aquarium presented a Full Moon Pier Walk on Friday, Aug. 31 with some 50 guests on hand to participate in a special "Blue Moon," event, taking in the second full moon of the month (the first came on Aug. 2.)
After hosting a tour of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus, the naturalists led the group to the pier (normally closed to the public) for a stroll to the end and a spectacular sunset. Next came hands-on exploration of the science stations along the pier and then some marine biology lessons under floodlights. Many participants dissected squids to marvel at the wonders inside, examined shark jawbones, used microscopes to view the tiny marine life collected off sediment samples from the ocean floor, and picked sea stars, crabs and barnacles from the pier's netting. At about 8 p.m., as participants said goodnight and began walking off the pier, the full blue moon rose over the hill to greet them. The next Full Moon Pier Walks are 6-8:30 p.m. Sept. 29 and 30. Tickets $25 at (858) 534-7336. aquarium.ucsd.edu — Susan DeMaggio
Up next: A Lecture
— What: "Gray Whales in a Changing Environment," Perspectives on Ocean Science lecture series. Wayne Perryman and Dave Weller of Southwest Fisheries Science Center (NOAA) discuss why the North Pacific gray whale has been called an "ecosystem sentinel," and how global climate change may ultimately make the biggest impact on these ocean giants.
— When: 6:30-8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10
— Where: Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego

14,000 sign flood petition to Prime Minister
Updated 10:00am Tuesday 25th February 2014 in News
A PETITION calling for the Prime Minister to stop cuts to flood defences has received more than 14,000 in two weeks.
Worcester, as well as the rest of the UK, has had its wettest winter in 250 years and the charity Friends of the Earth have said it is only going to get worse as the climate keeps changing making the weather more extreme.
Climate campaigner for the charity Guy Shrubsole said: "Extreme weather is becoming more common – and unless we take urgent action to tackle climate change it will only get worse.
"Ministers must wake up to the challenge by closing the gaping hole in Britain's flood defences, and make tackling climate change a top priority."
The petition calls for David Cameron to invest enough in flood defences to keep pace with rising seas and worsening downpours and to stop making climate change worse by funding oil and gas companies.

We enjoyed Tongue and Cheek. I had
the daily tacos and my partner had the chicken salad. Both were delicious. I wish they would have had a bartender on duty at lunch time, but really enjoyed the food."
Dined on 8/21/2014
The menu is interesting with lots
of tasty looking options. It took a while to prepare, but we were in good company. The first course was a soufflé with tomato soup.Probably one of the worst items I've had.The flavors do not work.Salty&very acidic. The main entrée(duck)was not much better, very salty but edible. I ate 1/3 of it. Hubby's fish was salty too. Desert was a part of the Miami Spice menu. I was excited because really, how much salt can be in it? Well... No salt but still a fail. What do you think about 'no bake cheesecake'? Take cheesecake flavored Greek yougurt and cream cheese- add lots of lemon. Cover with a shortbread cookie and voila... No bake, no good. :( To be fair, our friends had the beef and seemed to enjoy it."
Dined on 8/20/2014
I had heard so many great reviews
on this place, I thought I would love it. I'm not sure if it's because I went for brunch instead of regular service, but I was underwhelmed. The food was tasty, but nothing more. The service was ok, but nothing more. I will definitely give the place a second chance for dinner, in my opinion, brunch is nothing to write home about."

The food was fantastic and
meticulously prepared. Jason was super friendly and very efficient knowledge of menus & wine."
Dined on 8/16/2014
We went for Miami Spice and that
was phenomenal! We especially enjoyed the Ron Burgundy cocktail! Even the sides we chose outside of the spice menu were great! Will definitely come back to this hip restaurant that has a chef and staff that know what they're doing on all levels."

This is an amazing restaunt! The
Chef is amazing- a true artist. from the service to the food, our experience was top notch. I cant believe it took me so long to try this place!!!!"
Dined on 8/16/2014
This place was great for happy
hour. From the crafted cocktails and house brew, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. You must try the oysters and the fried chicken skin (similar to pork rinds but some much better). We enjoyed all our offers and would definitely do this place again when visiting south beach."
Dined on 8/9/2014
The Miami spice menu was very good
Looked at different choice I chosed u guys for dinner One negative note was that I found some of your wines were too $$$$$ We had a good dinner overall Thank you."
Dined on 8/3/2014
If you enjoy fatty food for
something you expect to be lean, this place is for you. The food came on time and was minimal in quantity easy not to fill you with lack of taste. Didn't even attempt to order another drink or even look at the dessert menu at dinner. Not sure how long the restaurant will continue to run for lack of taste and quality"
Dined on 8/2/2014
We went to Tongue & Cheek to try
the Miami Spice Menu. Their was always a tantalizing mix of flavors with each course. We ordered some of the side menu items in order to help satiate whatever hunger was left. The Brussel Sprouts were fantastic! The service was nothing out of this world, maybe because it was a slower night, everything was a bit slower paced. Overall it was a good dining experience!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
Went for Miami spice to try
restaurant for the first time. The portions are very small. Roasted Branzino was two very thin and small triangles; the taste was ok very low on salt. BEEF BOURGUIGNON was the only entree on the menu that was pretty good not great. Deserts were excellent-cant go wrong. Service was very slow and restaurant mostly empty for a Saturday night. Will not go back."
Dined on 8/2/2014
With their bottomless glasses
($25) a vibrant (loud) scene and a diverse menu, I was pleased with Sunday brunch at Tongue and Cheek. The servers are nice enough, but tended to disappear and the donut holes stuffed with chocolate were simply made unavailable for no reason while we watched them being served at the next table. Still, house-made bagels with cured salmon, chicken and waffles, and an egg and lobster special were well worth the visit. I would visit again for brunch or even dinner ."
Dined on 7/27/2014
Food was inventive, interesting,
and well-prepared. Service was top-notch. Excellent craft beer selection and the chocolate chip bourbon pecan pie was delicious. Definitely worth a try!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
Food was ok, service was good. Not
a place I would ride home about. Restaurant was on the best brunch list of Miami and their food did not impress. Like I said, it was good but not great."
Dined on 7/20/2014
Our brunch experience was
outstanding, with very attentive service by Carlos. Lobster Benedict a gem, with moist-not frozen-lobster meat. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a dream, with a cherry that punctuated the flavored. We share the shrimp and grits, which was a fluffy dream of flavor. We need this restaurant in Houston. It would never be empty!"
Dined on 7/20/2014
Our first dinner visit during our
vacation in Miami. Beef Cheek Burger, and Brussel sprouts, fried chicken, and the poutine are amazing! Great happy hour cocktails as well. Restaurant has a nice ambiance, and decor. Overall very solid place."

Loved the brussels, the Ron
Burgundy, and the hand cut rigatoni! I am Not a fan of short rib, but I even enjoyed yours."
Dined on 7/12/2014
We had stumbled upon this
recommendation on a food blog - and it did not disappoint. WE had previewed the menu and were anticipating a great meal - and arrived during happy hour. Instead of the meal, we decided to sample a variety of tapas that there were offering at half price, and the delicious beef cheek sliders to top it all off. None of the items disappointed at all - and we didn't even mind not having a full entree selection. In addition, half price cocktails let us sample several of their signature lines - and we were very happy with the flavours, variety offered, and how customized each drink was including different types of ice cubes for each cocktail we ordered."

Stumbled upon this restaurant and
decided to make it our girl's foodie spot for June. The food was delicious. I liked the small menu which made it easy to pick something. We all shared out plates and will be back for brunch and mimosas. The service was also excellent."

Burger was good not worth 20
bucks. Girlfriend had the snapper good but not worth 30 bucks. Good craft beer section. Cool lookin place."
Dined on 6/21/2014
We were the first of three tables
to send back the linguine pasta. It tasted so salty, like crunching down on chunks of sea salt! (The manager came to be table beside us and apologized to them only. This felt like discrimination.) Also when ordering the braised beef - the menu we ordered from stated it comes with mashed potatoes. It arrived with cous cous and we were told the menu was just not updated (hhmm please update the menu?!). Music was really odd kept going from Jay-Z playlist to oldies. The one plus of the night is they serve Coke from the bottle which we are a fan of (uses real sugar)! It has a beautiful atmosphere, if they can get the food and service to match that it could be amazing. "
Dined on 5/25/2014
We went there for brunch. The food
was very good. Breakfasts have been more or less "standard breakfast dishes" - nothing extraordinary. It was yummy but as said - nothing surprising. We ordered a dozen of oysters as starters - we got served only half a dozen. So we said we wanted to have a dozen - unfortunately the second 6 oysters came after the main breakfast dish - kind of awkward. Also - the bill later said two times half a dozen instead the price of one dozen which is a bit less expensive. If the server makes a mistake he should sort it out quickly and bring the second half very quickly also - the price should have been adjusted. AirCo is blowing strongly.The overall atmosphere is very clean which is a huge plus. Noise was moderate"

We had friends staying on Miami
Beach and wanted to try somewhere new. It was our first time at Tongue and Cheek. To start, you need to try the Donkey Punch. We skated in on the happy hour prices but the drink is worth it anytime. As for dinner, we all enjoyed our meals with the short ribs winning out. While we were enjoying our conversation over several bottles of wine and cocktails, we never felt rushed....even though we were the last table standing. Tongue and Cheek warrants a repeat visit and, with their drink menu, cab fare from South Miami. "

Mediocre food & service.
Definitely not worth the price. "

Food is good, but overpriced. I
like the burger, but it's half the size of competing restaurants and twice the price, but not much better. My guest was not impressed at all."

Initially we were excited to eat
here, but the feeling was dimmed when the host acted put upon to bring more chairs for a party of 8 when we were placed in a booth that could seat 5. The food itself took awhile, but given we went on Mother's Day Brunch was understandable. As far as the service it was marginal at best. Peltran H was our server & he seemed almost put upon to take care of us in anyway. He refused to split checks for a party of 8, couldn't find it in his schedule to drop off a wine menu, or inform us that an 18% gratuity was already added to the check. Being in the service industry I found his utter indifference appalling. The inequities in service to food is so profound the only way we will ever go back is to eat at the bar."

Me and a group of friends from out

My husband and I met up with old
friends there and it was delicious! Between us all, we had the lettuce wraps with pig ears, the fried chicken skins for an appetizer. Never thought I would eat crispy pig ears, but they were divine. We had the Moroccan short ribs, red snapper, salmon with the cauliflower and brussel sprouts as sides. The short ribs and the veggie sides were fantastic! The service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Much more reasonable than other overly priced South Beach restaurants."

Our waitress was so rude. It was
obvious she didn't want to be there. She did not smile at us once. On the contrary, she made us feel uncomfortable as if we were bothering her. I couldn't believe it. Sure enough, the tip was included. The food was great, but I would never go back. It was a terrible experience. I wish I would've gotten her name. "

Visiting south beach and wanted a

Many more great reviews on our TwoPlusTwo forum thread.
(See our website for links.)
If you play poker tournaments of any kind, knowledge of ICM is essential for doing well especially as you get close to the bubble and into the money. This is especially true for small tournaments like Sit-n-Go's and satellites because you're in this situation very often.
Tournaments and cash games are very different as you approach the bubble or make it into the money. In cash games it's all about the chips. But in tournaments chips don't have fixed/constant value; you're trying to maximize your $ payout not your chips. This means you should *not* make decisions based on your chip equity or chip pot-odds (that's cash game thinking), but on your $ payout equity and $ payout pot-odds.
ICM lets you do this by "converting" the players' chip stacks to expected $ payouts. ChipChop is an alternative popular way of doing this. Tournament Cruncher gives you both ICM and ChipChop calculators.
ICM and ChipChop Calculators
* Up to 10 players, up to 10 payouts (some calculators handle only up to 9)
* Fast ICM algorithm
* Simple and clean one-screen design so you can see the whole picture easily
* Save/load up to 6 scenarios (e.g. save the payout structures of your favorite tournaments, save and compare a few scenarios for "what if" analysis)
* View and export-to-email calculation details including %age's and totals
M & Q Ratios (and M Zone) Calculator
Your M ratio (or M number) is a measure of the health of your chip stack in relation to the cost of playing each round. This ratio to a large extent determines how you should play with your current chip stack at the current stage of the tournament. Tournament Cruncher also shows you which *M Zone* you currently fall in.
Your Q ratio describes the relation of your stack to the average stack.
Bubble Factor Calculator
Bubble factor measures how big an ICM effect a given player has against another player. If your bubble factor is very close to 1, then there is very little ICM effect, and you can make decisions based pretty much on chip pot-odds (as in a cash game). However if your bubble factor is significantly greater than 1, then you must make decisions based on your tournament $ equity (your ICM equity), not just on chip pot-odds.
Push/Call/Fold ICM Decision Analyzers
Two ICM decision analyzers:
* Call an all-in or fold?
* Push all-in or fold?
App Store reviews are greatly appreciated, thank you.
Also please check out our companion app PokerCruncher.
What's New in Version 3.2Maintenance and bug fixes update.
* Small change to the order of menu/toolbar buttons.
* Support in-phone-call mode (fully for iPhone5 or later, partially for pre-iPhone5).
* Add new-size app icons for iOS 7.
* Small adjustments to the "Rate This App" menu button and prompt.
If you like Tournament Cruncher please help us, rate/review this app, thank you!
1) Support in-phone-call mode:
* When you press the Home button while in a phone call, you're returned to the Home screen with the phone call still alive, and the status bar turns green and becomes taller to indicate in-phone-call mode (if your carrier supports this feature). You can then run the Tournament Cruncher app while you're in the phone call.
* On a 4" screen (iPhone5 or later), the UI now adjusts itself vertically so all screens are completely visible and use-able with the taller status bar.
* On a 3.5" screen (pre-iPhone5), all screens shift down and are mostly use-able, but some elements at the bottom of the screens are cut off.

Here's a look at what believers say happened when Mary appeared in Dong Lu, China, in 1900 (with Archangel Michael) and 1995, in events now known as "Our Lady of China":
The 1900 Apparition
During the Boxer Rebellion in China, about 10,000 soldiers attacked the village of Dong Lu in April 1900, trying to kill the approximately 1,000 Christians who lived there. A glowing apparition of Mary wearing a white robe appeared in the sky over the village as the soldiers attacked, and the soldiers fired at the apparition after they saw it. Despite the soldiers' efforts to shoot down Mary's apparition, she continued to shine brightly in the sky.
As the soldiers kept firing, another apparition appeared: A majestic angel -- whom witnesses believed to be Archangel Michael -- rode a horse surrounded by blazing flames of fire down from the sky and into the midst of the soldiers on the ground. By himself, Michael drove out all of the thousands of soldiers from the village.
Villagers learned afterward that their local priest, Father Wu, had prayed to Mary for help from the soldiers' attacks. Dong Lu residents built a church in honor of Mary to express their gratitude for the help they received. But the church was destroyed during World War 2 after it was hit by Japanese bombs.
The 1995 Apparition
The Catholic Church built a shrine in 1992 to commemorate the 1900 apparition events and organized a large celebratory worship service nearby in an open field on May 23, 1995, which about 30,000 people attended. During the opening prayer, those present all noticed what they reported was a miraculous phenomenon lasting about 20 minutes: The sun moved from right to left in the sky and shone down light rays of various different colors, and then apparitions of Mary holding a child (representing her son, Jesus Christ) appeared in the sky.
Mary did not speak during the apparition, but witnesses (Chinese Christians whose faith was oppressed by the government) reported feeling comforted and encouraged by her appearance. The overwhelming public interest in visiting the shrine after the apparition took place upset the Chinese government, and government officials subsequently tried to ban people from going there. After the government's efforts to prevent spiritual pilgrims from visiting the site proved unsuccessful, the Chinese military destroyed the Dong Lu shrine.

I am making this thread to show people a 2:1 haul setup and also see what I can do better.Here is my 2:1 haul system setup using Chongo's big wall book as my reference. A 2:1 was chosen over a 3:1 as it will save time hauling the bag and allow my gf to operate the haul system while I would be jugging. I may use a 1:1 later on when food and water have decreased on the second or third day. The Petzl prusik minding pulley is 97% efficient (theoretical) and weighs .19 lbs. The blue CMI pulley is 95.6% efficient and weighs .45 lbs. And since I'm listing efficiencies, the Petzl pro Traxion has a 91% efficient pulley. I show the Petzl gold ascender in the picture since it could be used as a substitute for the WC ropeman II. I plan on mounting the Traxion to a Frost power draw or using a short dogbone with lockers on it. This should allow the Traxion to pivot and prevent binding. Now consider that the Traxion will be hauling only enough for a 2 night stay on a wall for two people and it should not be seeing any heavy static loads. This setup would be operated with a pedal system meaning that you would pump the haul line up with one leg and reset the ropeman II with the other as needed. I show petzl caving foot straps for simplicity but any set of ladders, etriers, or slings could be used. This leaves your hand to pull the haul line slack through the Traxion. Question: Am I lacking a safety backup or does the ropeman II count as the backup? I want to make sure that safety is maintained since this type of rigging is new to me. Recommendations to make this setup better are welcomed. Please state how many walls you've done so I can gauge real responses from people like me who have never been on wall.
why the two ropes?
Very good set up. I am a master at 2:1 hauling! I have it singing and can easily haul 250/300 up an overhanging wall. Your rig is heavier than it needs to be. Your use of the rigging plate is good but not needed. Your pulling cord, your Zed-Cord needs to be only 5 mil Spectra. I tried the Ropeman as the bottom rope grab but the moment it takes to grab the rope gets annoying.
Mark, Thank you for the pictures and link. What kind of pulleys are you using with your 5 mm perlon cord? Seems like you could use really small pulleys as long as they are rated for the load. The petzl paw is just there for clarity as an anchor, I won't bring it up the wall. I own a petzl croll. Could I use that in place of the ropeman or is its orientation a lot different from your petzl basic model which has different mounting configuration? Do you ever haul 1:1 as your bag gets lighter? The reason I ask is that I have a mini traxion that I could swap out but I would only do so if I didn't plan on hauling 1:1. It's pulley efficiency is 71% and would suck for 1:1 hauling (at least in my head.) Why is the second ratchet line called a zed line?
Randy, You still need efficiency even with the 5 mil cord. My pulleys are an SMC Micro (the bottom one) and an SMC 2" sheave Rescue Pulley. A Croll or a Basic would be perfect. I use a Basic. No, I never haul 1:1. As the bags get lighter towards the top of the route, I'm getting more and more tired and weak. I've worked myself to death on walls in the past and now my goal is to enjoy them and let my techniques do the hard work for me. The Zed Cord make a "Z"? I don't know, that's what Pete called it in his Climbing article.
Mark, Why not use your second main ascender in place of the basic? This would eliminate the need for one more piece of gear.
No reason why you couldn't. When I'm with a partner we usually take only one set though. Actually that's funny, I just did a big DUH! and forehead slap when I read your post. I could easily save that weight. Good idea!
Hudon, two weeks until I'm in the Valley, so get that .pdf up! Seriously, your beta on here and Supertopo are great reading. Thanks.
I'm on it! In fact, here is a link to it so far. It'll eventually include 1:1 hauling and Far End Hauling for soloing. El Cap Route Panoramas and Big Wall Tips Feel free to donate often, or, hell, for that matter, buy a Pano!
What size rope do you all use for the pull cord? Hudon, saw your video, did you untie yourself from the lead line during the haul?
I use 5 mil Spectra as my Zed Cord. I had just jugged up there from the ground. I didn't untie but was never tied in. I was clipped in to the anchor with two daisies, same as if I would be soloing. Bear in mind also, that that is me, all 130 pounds of me, hauling bags that easily total 250+ pounds. You can see the effort to haul is equal to the effort of doing a squat.
so mark to you tag up your haul set up or do you keep it in a small bag clipped to you? seems like a bunch of stuff to carry up with you while on lead.
That is one bummer of the system, there is no way around the fact that it's heavy. It's only 2 pounds (actual weight) and I carry it all set up in a Fish Beef Bag. I clip it to my harness and carry it for the whole pitch. Really, after a full-on big wall rack, it's a non issue. Here is a shot of Max leading with it on the Bering Straits on the South Seas/Pacific Ocean Wall last year.
that's what i figured you did. generally speaking if i were to not carry a small water bottle i would simply replace the weight with the haul system. my only reservation is that on free climbing pitches (my aid experience has yet to exceed c2) the set up could be cumbersome and get in the way, no?
On South Seas/PO I got all the free climbing and really, it was no worse than free climbing some pitch somewhere (on the Nose or Salathe, DNB or Astroman) with a big rack.
right on that is good to know. i love to quote you reference by PTPP that goes something like "we win by attrition mark. we're old bulls we don't run up and knock us off a cow, we walk up and nail them all." i reference it because it reminds me to take my time go slightly heavier than i want, and top out due to diligence. not bail due to arrogance. hence my wanting to tote a more effective hauling rig.
Peton Pete is Canadian. Up there they say the letter 'z' as zed. If you are in the states you would call it a Z line. The more you know...
Good laughs and good info and photos in this post! It is gratifying to hear that some of you Young Bulls really do know the Story of the Young Bull and the Old Bull. Now Hudon and I are both Old Bulls - we do indeed win by attrition. Currently he is in a state of winning [by recruiting the Young Bull Cheyne to drag him up Shortest Straw] whilst I sit with a can of beer in Yosemite Village having bailed. Might have had something to do with a Young Bull, but then again, maybe knott. So I think I'll start at the top, answer the questions in order, and then I will add some *new stuff* that probably wasn't included in that old Climbing Mag post. I will comment on some of the Big Wall Theory above, and offer suggestions to improve efficiency. I just climbed Grape Race and led most of the pitches, meaning I also hauled most of the pitches, using the 2:1 up a rather horrific low-angle slab. But it's a decent route, not very hard, really. So this season I am at least 1 fer 2. Chongo invented this system, and I haven't seen him since I put the Tech Tip in Climbing Mag, I did apologize to him for not crediting him in the mag article. That was an oversight. Chongo knows stuff, and a hundred bucks for his big wall book will save you a thousand bucks in effort. Mention my name when you order it. In almost every situation, a 3:1 haul is overkill. While you can make a 3:1 hauling ratchet [see Chongo's book] most people put the pulleys right on the haul line. This is a colossal pain in the ass - hard to set up, and you have to keep doing this "reset" which in certain situations like where there is a ledge or rub point close to your anchors, almost impossible. Accordingly, you need to stick to the 2:1. You should, however, have the 3:1 arrow in your quiver. I remember soloing Native Son when my pigs swung round an arete, and the 2:1 wouldn't budge them. Similarly high on NA Wall - or maybe the Ranch? - I needed that extra leverage of the 3:1. Rare but every now and then, well, you know. And yes, it's a Zed Cord. We speak the Queen's English here, eh? The 2:1 Hauling Ratchet consists of two components. The first component is your "Holding Ratchet" which is your "compound pulley" using Chongo parlance. This could be a Pro-Trax, Mini-Trax, Wall Hauler, Kong Block-Roll, Micro-Trax, you name it. They all work. Whatever you use for a 1:1 hauling system will work. The key point to remember here is it doesn't matter a Donkey's Dong* what type of compound pulley you use, because in the 2:1 it only holds the rope. So its efficiency is irrelevant. Get it? If you get it, proceed to the following paragraphs. If you don't get it, you'd better ask.
OK, so now we're talking about pulleys on the Zed Cord. We have already determined that it doesn't matter a Donkey's Dong* which type of device you use as your Holding Ratchet. But does it matter which pulley you use where on your Zed Cord? Answer: Arrange the following words into a well known phrase or saying: "Yeah" "Hell" OK, so why? Answer - Frig, I don't freaking know! Do you know how many beers I've had today??? OK Ok, I think it has to do with how many spins the pulley makes. The top one spins more, so it has to be better, right? This sounds good *in theory* but does it translate to real wall experience? Accordingly, Dr. Piton set up the following test in his basement. We took the regular 2:1 Chongo Hauling Ratchet, and we checked the position of the "good" pulley vs. the "bad" pulley. Each has its place, both on the wall and in the basement. Sort of like "good" girls and "bad" girls. [Either you get it or you don't] So in the interests of science, we replaced one pulley with a carabiner, and considered the carabiner to be the "bad" pulley. In photo #1 which you see below, the "bad" pulley = carabiner is on top of the Zed Cord: Dang. Sorry. Wrong photo. That was a different scientific experiment. However, do I have your attention??? OK, here's the right photo: Here we have buddy as a counterweight, and I have put the "bad pulley" = carabiner on top, and the "good" pulley [the blue one] on the bottom. As you can see, I and my crab are pulling rather hard, but to no avail. Next, we put the "good" blue pulley on top, and the "bad pulley" = carabiner on the bottom, and here you can see the result: Pretty casual, eh? So put your "good" pulley on top, and your "not good" pulley on the bottom. See? Clearly, it's the Better Way.
OK, so far, so good, eh? JP just poured me a margarita. Sheesh. Talk about drowning one's bail sorrows, eh? Anyhoo... Incidentally .... does anyone know what happened to Ricardo ... ? He used ... to use ... a lot of ... ellisions... The Croll is the ultimate ascender for Jugging the Froggy Way, which is far and away the Better Way to ascend a free hanging rope. It was developed by cavers - Petzl - and if you ever want to know how to ascend a fixed rope, ask a caver. Cavers - pale anemic offspring from the darker world - have nothing better to do with their time than perfect their jugging systems - under bridges, in caves, etc etc. The Croll is fundamental. Somewhere on this forum is the post. Could someone please provide the link? [thus sparing me the bother] Right. Where are we? Right. Zipping. I can't believe that anyone would carry a 2:1 with them on lead! I use a 7.8mm Bluewater half rope as a zipline, which is sufficient to haul the gear piggy, and the top[s] of the haul line[s]. The 2:1 is right on top of the gear piggy. I figure if I have a partner, he can zip stuff up to me. I hate wearing heavy stuff. However it is definitely faster, if you are stronger and burlier than me. Mark can free climb and everything. Except when he doesn't manage his finger strength accordingly, and can't pull the easiest stuff [for him]. This was very YB-ish of him, and is a reminder to you all that you can only do what you can only do. It was smart that Mark called for a toprope when he was toasted. But stuff happens, right? Greg - if you tell the YB and the OB story on the bridge, I owe you a few Cobras! Oh, thank goodness I have reached the bottom of the post. Hmm, now I have to think of a few things: Thing #1) Put a pair of non-locking carabiners on your Zed-Cord in a clove hitch, and attach these crabs to your belay doughnut. This will allow you to "fine tune" your hauling ratchet stroke to the ideal length Thing #2) Practise! Practise! Practise! This is not as intuitive as you think! Go to your favourite crag, and practise hauling bags of rocks. Choose rocks with smooth curves, not sharp corners, and make sure your pig is lined with closed cell foam. When you finish hauling, practise rappelling with a heavy load. You *do* know how to do this, right? Rapping with two or three times your body weight? If knott, ask. Set up a separate post here, and email me. Thing #3) Positioning of the pulleys, Zed-Cord and holding ratchet aka cmpound pulley is critical. There are four possible orientations - three are wrong, and one is right. So figure out what I mean. Thing #4) You really need to figure out the Better Way to position your body when 2:1 hauling. Are you standing in aiders, or on a ledge? If you are on a ledge, where is your 1:1 hauling device located? Generally speaking, you may equalize a couple of bolts, and set your hauling device on this power point. Say the bolts are six feet above the ledge, but when you equalize them, your hauling device is now only three feet above the ledge. What this means is that your haul line now runs over a much sharper edge. Instead, consider putting the hauling device right on the bolt carabiner [always use a separate carabiner to maintain degrees of freedom!] and hauling straight off the bolt. Obviously, choose a "good" 3/8-incher. And then you should connect your hauling bolt to the other bolt, just in case. Thing #5) Got any questions? Just ask. This is the place. Thing #6) There is NO sixth thing! Thing #7) Um.......
Thanks for the input so far. I noticed the recent activity in this thread and thought I would post up my updated hauling setup. Between my initial post and now I was able to do the first three pitches of the South Face of Washington Column up to dinner ledge. My mentor had a bruised toe so I lead all three pitches and hauled all three. It was my first time in a true big wall situation and it was tough yet enjoyable. I drank/needed too much water and aided too slow but I assume that's how we all start out? Here is the setup I plan to use for my gf and I when we make an attempt at our first wall this September. I am assuming its ok to use rapides? (climbing rated, not home depot.) They are used widely in caving and other vertical activities. I did this to reduce bulk and weight. The only downside is that the system cannot be taken apart on a moment's notice and altered without pulling out a wrench. I used a petzl croll instead of a basic because that is what I own. I removed the WC Ropeman II from the setup because it required that the user remove the ascender from the system each time you are installing and breaking down. This creates a risk of it being dropped. I do not know the efficiency of the camp pulley that I picked up for cheap so I'm not sure which one to put where. I will need to check that and compare it to the petzl prusik minding pulley I have on there. Any critique or thoughts on this setup?
nice 40's!!!!

Lawmakers in Hawaii are considering establishing a specific court to handle environmental matters.
A state Senate bill would create environmental courts within the state's circuit courts.
The goal of the new courts would be to apply environmental law consistently throughout the state. They would settle disputes arising out of environmental regulations and laws.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the state Department of Land and Natural Resources were among those to testify in support of the bill. They said that having judges and courts with an expertise in environmental law would help prevent costly legal appeals in complex cases.
State Supreme Court staff attorney Elizabeth Zack told lawmakers that the judiciary opposes the bill. She said courts already handle environmental matters quickly and consistently.

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) has announced the fifth and sixth human cases of West Nile virus in the state this year.
The fifth case involved a woman from Middlesex County in her 50's, who was never hospitalized. The sixth case is a woman from Essex County in her 70's who was hospitalized, but has shown significant improvement. The DPH declined to identify them and the communities in which they live.
The epidemiological investigation conducted by DPH indicates that the patients were most likely exposed to infected mosquitoes locally. The areas of potential exposure are already considered to be at moderate risk from West Nile Virus and will remain at that level. Moderate risk areas may have a single animal or human case; multiple cases from an area would indicate that risk is high.
"Even as cooler temperatures begin arriving in the state, the fact is that the threat of mosquito-borne illness will continue until the first hard overnight frost," said DPH State Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Catherine Brown. "In the meantime, it's vitally important that we continue taking common-sense precautions against mosquito bites: use insect repellant, cover up, and avoid outdoor activities at dusk and after nightfall when mosquitoes are at their most active."
Last year, 33 cases of WNV were detected in Massachusetts residents. While WNV can infect people of all ages, people over the age of 50 are at higher risk for severe disease. WNV is usually transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Most people infected with WNV will have no symptoms. When present, WNV symptoms tend to include fever and flu-like illness. In rare cases, more severe illness can occur.

Tap Explosion All Stars by hi - about 5 years ago
"Here is Tap Explosion working hard in the studio, gearing up for our annual show on Aug 9 at Kings Academy in Sunnyvale, CA, 'A Tribute to the Silver Screen.' We needed special costumes for our 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' number. CustomInk.com was the obvious choice. It was quick, easy, and stress-free. Most fabulous part? We got our names on the back too!"

Photographer Bob Adelman was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and only eight feet away from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he delivered his 'I Have a Dream' speech 50 years ago Wednesday.
Adelman took an iconic photo of King with his right hand raised to heaven as he finished the speech during the March on Washington.
Author Herb Boyd has written more than 22 books including We Shall Overcome and Civil Rights Today.
He has interviewed Dr. Kings' close advisor, Clarence Jones, who helped write the speech.

This was the same thing I posted a year ago, but I had to copy and paste and change a thing or two....
It was March 2, 1836 that independence was declared from the cruel Spanish dictator Santa Anna and Mexico. The Texas Declaration of Independence was produced, literally, overnight. Its urgency was paramount, because while it was being prepared, the Alamo was under siege by Santa Anna's Mexican army.
With the beginning of the Convention of 1836 on March 1, a committee of 5 of its delegates were appointed to draft the document. The committee, consisting of George C. Childress, Edward Conrad, James Gaines, Bailey Hardeman and Collin McKinney, prepared the declaration in record time. It was briefly reviewed, and adopted by delegates of the convention the following day. Here is the beginning excerpt:
When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression
Here is the end of the Texas Declaration of Independence:
The necessity of self-preservation, therefore, now decrees our eternal political separation.
We, therefore, the delegates with plenary powers of the people of Texas, in solemn convention assembled, appealing to a candid world for the necessities of our condition, do hereby resolve and declare, that our political connection with the Mexican nation has forever ended, and that the people of Texas do now constitute a free, Sovereign, and independent republic, and are fully invested with all the rights and attributes which properly belong to independent nations; and, conscious of the rectitude of our intentions, we fearlessly and confidently commit the issue to the decision of the Supreme arbiter of the destinies of nations.
I don't know if I'm the only one who got chills reading the last paragraph of our Declaration of Independence, but let's not forget this great holiday and our ancestors that fought for the Republic of Texas. Whether you're a 1st generation Texan, 6th generation Texan(like me) or 8th generation Texan(like my friend from work), just be glad that you're a Texan and a Longhorn.
My two favorite quotes: "Remember the Alamo and remember Goliad!"--the battlecry for the Texian army
"You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas."--Davy Crockett
It's always a great day to be Longhorn, but today I'm especially proud of our great university and great state. Hook'em Horns!
I did compile some of the info from a website or 2 (and obviously the Texas Declaration of Independence), but historically accurate to my knowledge of Texas history and respect to what went on at Independence Hall, located at Washington on the Brazos. There was some debate about Santa Anna being Spanish, but he was the son of a Spanish military officer and born in Vera Cruz.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
D1 is the quintessential Diamond climb. Sustained and pumpy, some funky rock, great exposure, classic history- simply a great place to be. The first route climbed on the Diamond, it was freed in the late '70s via a horrendous, wet 5.11 chimney above Table Ledge that may still be unrepeated. The original aid line left of this was freed in the early '80s, and provides a difficult and exciting finale. The route is obvious, taking the center plumb-line crack system to the apex of The Diamond.
2-3 sets wires to #3 Friend, a #3.5 Friend or two, extra mid/large-size wires. 60m rope for the pitch combining beta (below). With two 60m ropes it is possible to bail from this route, even from up high. Early season ascents have used an ice screw on the last pitch if the ice plug is in (a small ice hammer would be comforting too- no joke!).

We had Select Seating dining and, again it worked out great. Thelma, the hostess on MDR level 4 seated us in the same section, with little delay. We sought out the head waiter Sirene Margarita (sp?) and his assistant Jay as they not only advised and served but entertained the 4 of us nightly. I am afraid I have forgotten our sommelier's name because he never forgot ours and paired wines with our entree choices. The ship is beautiful, the food, from the burgers in the Mast Grill to the perfect veal chop in the MDR, was excellent. If anything was not to our liking it was quickly replaced.
No problems leaving the ship for the private tours we booked (see Trip Advisor) and a special thank you to Flavio who made sure we got off in Rome to make our 9:20am flight. I hope X is able to replace Cyprus with the originally planned Egypt in 2012. Turkey and Israel were amazing.

Predicting the future is a hopeless, thankless task, with ridicule to begin with and, all too often, scorn to end with. –Isaac AsimovIn January 1965 Asimov wrote an article, The World of 1990, for Diners' Club Magazine where he predicted that "the television set will be, more than ever, the center of the home" (Isaac Asimov, Is Anyone There?, 1967). Asimov may have thought predicting the future was a hopeless and thankless task, but he sure got that prediction right. A 2009 Nielsen study showed that the average American spends 153 hours a month watching or interacting with their TV (Nielsen, 2009). Compare this to only 29 hours spent using the Internet and it's clear that the TV is the single most-used consumer electronics device in the home. Since its invention TV has been a wildly dynamic and evolving experience. With its roots in bars and taverns to its adoption into our homes, bedrooms, kitchens, mobile devices–entertainment and TV have been in a constant state of change. Just look at the parade of boxes and technologies we've integrated into our TVs over the decades; game consoles, VHS/DVD players, DVRs and even 3D are proof of TV's ingenious adaptability. Over the past few years we're witnessed another monumental yet subtle shift in our entertainment. Not only has the Internet come to TV but TV has come to the Internet. The Internet has brought entertainment to all the screens in our lives. Even the very definition of entertainment has been transformed to mean a personalized and fluid mix of TV shows, movies, music, games, applications and social networking. You can check Twitter on your TV. You can watch movies on your iPhone. You can watch TV shows on your laptop. Entertainment and TV has been decoupled from the living room. You can now personalize TV with whatever you want to watch, play or browse to any screen you have handy. TV has now become a compute task. The hardware, software, service and economic implications of this shift are being written today as consumers rush to embrace this new freedom of access and control. For me the really interesting questions are what does it mean when entertainment becomes the leading usage for all our computing devices? How do we take something as rich and engaging a TV and use it as a platform for social interaction? What does the future of game play look like when we can play the game effortlessly across every device we own? What does that look like when it's all in 3D? In 1965 Asimov saw that TV will be the center of the home* in 2010 we are now seeing that TV and entertainment is not only at the center of our daily lives but it's driving the future of computing and the devices we love.

Grade the New guys!!(rooks and FA's)
Ok, our team has been changed alot from our offseason transactions. Whats our thoughts on them?
Free Agents..
1. Cris Clairbone- Started the season with a bang leading the tackles and getting some turnovers, his presence is just good to have in the linebacking corps alone.. Still hes really really tailed of lately pushing him out of the pro bowl and hes really really banged up right now and wont get back to 100% for a long time, but in the long run this is the best Free Agent we have singed in Donkeys years....... GRADE= B- []
2. Denard Walker- A guy who stood out in 2 good Defense's(Titans, bronco's) came to us and we thoguht he would be our savour.... Hes looked no better than Eric Kelly did last year i feel, sometimes WR's have taken the ball and hes not even in the same picture!!, ive been very dissapointed with this guy but in his defense hes joined a bad team and every CB will struggle in this system..........GRADE= D- [ba]
3. Brian Russell- Ok hes no FA or rookie but still a new guy. Got his name heard around the league with that INT run and all but take that away and hes not a playmaker at all, i actually dont like him and dont think hes playing well, lots of his INT's were of tips and should be credited to the DL for there rush anyway, i counted a few of those INT's which he made himself, apart from that hes nothing, bad awarness and dosent seem to get to the ball enough.............. GRADE= D
4. Ken Irvin- Not huge amounts expected from this old guy when he came in, was spose to be a nickel. A guy who was ignored all through preseason and really not a very big talent.. Still im loving his effort hes giving out there and think hes playing well above what i expected. Was a Great Cheap pickup in my books..... GRADE= C-
5. Charles Stackhouse- I bet most of you forgot about this one, i havent.. When hes been out there hes not making mistakes and he joined the team late and hasnt done much wrong, you have to have a full back somewhere and this is a decent young one at that, pleased with this pickup alot.... GRADE C-
6. Gus Ferotte- I look at him on the sidelines and look at some of our others and i see a difference, and i think hows he just been here 1 year?, this guy really gives a toss about what happens out there, hes doing anything he can to win and he played amazing in his time out there, he just seems a real good team guy from a fans veiw and i hope him and daunte can be together for a good long time, i was so mad when we took the guy from FA aswell, exceeded my expectations more than anyone........ GRADE A+ []
The Avery, Billy Lyon players etc etc arent worth talking about...
1. Kevin Williams- We shock the world slowing up the draft, then shock us more passing on suggs and Jimmy Kennedy for a Guy who was way down pros and fans boards, but hell i cant think of a better find in the draft than this one(moss and hovan were proven, dosent count), this guy has a great future in minney, hes shown this through 11 games, i cant say enough about the guy right now and am going to grade him well.......... GRADE= A []
2. Ej Henderson- Some though he was a top 25 type player?, but lots passed on him, and for good reason... All the LB's that went ahead of him have outplayed him, Nick Barnett by a mile and is the DEF rook of the year by a mile... EJ hasnt adapted to the NFL speed to well at all and dosent deserve the playing time ppl say we should be giving him, he needs time... I just hope hes not a R smith Linebacker, not 2 busts.............. GRADE= D-
3. Nate Burelson- We keep giving you a chance mate, take it and become famous beside Randy!!, we got him quite late and diddnt give him to much in camp snap wise... hes a Rookie WR and history shows they struggle, hes had his times........... GRADE= C
4. O Smith- Steal of the draft?, not quite?, but played better than anything else we have got that late so hes a steal but not the SOD... Missed a prime chance to shine but diddnt dissapoint, show us some stuff on special teams now............. GRADE= C-
No others worth nothing really(and the lions game is 5mins away_
Are my ratings wrong?, or to hard like always???[Beer]

text: SEATTLE (AP) - Horizon Air is trying to prevent a pilot who admitted using marijuana from flying. The Seattle-based airline fired pilot Brian Milam after he failed a random drug test in November 2011. The seattlepi.com reports (http://bit.ly/10bbkWh) Milam admitted smoking to cope with back pain and other issues. The firing was challenged by the Airline Professionals Association and an arbitrator ruled in the union's favor, saying Horizon failed to fully review Milam's record before firing him. Horizon filed a lawsuit last week in federal court, asking a judge to throw out the arbitrator's ruling and to keep the pot-smoking pilot out of the cockpit. (Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

There's no doubt BIsmarck and Mandan's population is on the rise, but is the Bakken all to blame for the increase in people living here?
Brian Ritter with the Bismarck-Mandan Development Association says the growth has been happening for the last decade, so the Bakken isn't the only reason more people are moving to the area.
Since 2002 nearly 14,000 jobs have been added, and there's about 1,000 new businesses.
<<"I think what that shows us and what it provides us is a perspective and it shows us that growth is not a recent phenomenon in Bismarck and Mandan, that it's been occurring for these last ten years, again whether it's due to whatever we have going on within Bismarck and Mandan themselves or whether it's due from influence from the Bakken, it shows that this is not something over night, or some flash in the pan if you will, this is strong, steady, sustained growth that I think you'll see go on like this well into the future," Brian Ritter said.>>
Since 2002 the Bismarck and Mandan population has increased nearly 15,000 people, to just under 114,000.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) - New jobs and businesses are helping the Riverport area expand. The new development will be called Riverport Phase 5.
The expansion will take place across 162 acres located along Dixie Highway near the Watson Lane intersection.
This is the first development to go beyond the 2,000 acres that make up the industrial site between the Greenbelt Highway and the Ohio River.
The first plans call for space for distribution and light manufacturing facilities.
The intersection will be renovated to include additional traffic lanes and several other roads to help assist the needs of tenants.
