2.83/5 rDev -21.6%
Very attractive in the glass with a nice head and long-lasting suds on the tongue. The darker amber shade with the typical orange case. Fairly rich and quite malty. A very pleasant fruity and flowery aroma of the big-hop sort.
Certainly the fruity sort of IPA. Besides the inevitable grapefruit peel, there is some mango and a hint of pineapple-orange juice. After the sweet malt honeymoon, the bitterness continues its trajectory. Every sip is the same-- a promising start with a regretful finish. I think this is getting towards undrinkable, even though it's interesting for a few sips. The beer seems well made, so if you like the abusive hops, it is worth a try.
From the tall can purchased at Best Damn in San Diego.

Amber colored with slight haze. A finger of head forms from a vigorous pour, retaining well. Smells of bready malts and caramel, with a bit of orange oil behind. Hints of tropical fruit. Entirely too malty for the style but not unpleasant. Palate is similar; very malty and bready with a touch of caramel. The hop profile is largely citrusy, orange up front with a bit of pineapple beneath. Mouthfeel is heavy and sweetness lingers throughout. Bitterness is mild. A decent but unexceptional beer, especially coming from San Diego.

A-Burnt orange....perfect small cream head...
S-Not real assertive here....fresh citrus...oranges...some mild tropical fruits as well (pineapple, mango)
T-Rich flavor and texture....first impression is a malty sugary sweetness and then fresh citrus on the finish....the more I drink the more of a piney hop flavor emerges...not real bitter but it become more drying on the long finish.
M-Pretty substantial. Seems big in body and weightiness.
O-This is solid...something about it seems a little muddled though...a little too sweet with not enough of a bright hop presence. A decent beer but I wouldn't buy it again in San Diego with so many other options available for a one-time trip. If I lived in San Diego I'd give this place a few more shots.(scores reflect this against beers in this class of which there are many greats out there).

16oz can received this in a great trade with cocoapuph... Thanks Jeremy!! Poured into my slip tulip long lasting white head... nice lacing.. the brew is fairly clear amber.
The nose is plenty malty... a touch to much IMHO... still clean citrus hops with some background cut grass helps cut through the malt...
Fairly bitter right up front balances a fairly thick for the style maltiness.. toast and caramel ... again a pronounced citrus hop punch moves up midpalate... finish is a little short and dies off pretty quickly...
Body seems a bit heavy... carbonation is spot on.... Drinkability is good, but a drier brew would help that for me.
Thanks again Jeremy for the awesome trade!!

A darker, caramel-colored hazy DIPA. Somewhat sticky retention and lacing.
Sweet and hoppy combination: citrus and a bit of lemon. Some pine and sweet caramel.
Flavor is similar with a hint of alcohol presence. Floral, citrus, and pine hops combine with sweet, bready malt.
Medium bodied with lower-moderate carbonation.
Decent, but not a great San Diego DIPA.

It's dark in here in Small Bar in central San Diego, so appearance appraisal may not be entirely accurate. Seems a hazed golden orange with a short antique white head. The bouquet is comprised of grapefruit and soured milk (but not in a bad way, if you can imagine). The mouthfeel is a little thin. There are some interesting esters in the flavor making it unique. Grapefruit, perhaps something a little greener too. A grape? Not my favorite.

16oz can courtesy of HH84. Thanks!
A: Dark orange with a pleasant 1" head. As I drink this down, the head retention is quite good, but the beer doesn't quite stick to the side of my glass.
N: Biscuit and pineapple with the latter being predominant. At a sniff, this is some citrusy hops on top of a sweet, sugary base.
T: Almost a barleywine at first sip. Mango/pineapple with the prerequisite pine. Definitely some peppery spiciness which expands as the beer warms. Could pair this with some thai peppers, but I have to take some points off because it's also getting some of the burn from an alcohol sharpness.
M: Drying and well-balanced. Not a fan of palate-scraping DIPAs so this one's alright by me.
O: If I were in the SD area, I'd want to try this again, because with some tweaking, I think it'd fit right into my comfort zone. Citrusy hops on top of a hearty malt base. As it stands now, there's room for improvement, though.

On tap at URGE for the Monkey Paw North County Launch Party.
A: Dark reddish orange with good clarity. One finger of white foam. Good retention and much lacing.
S: Caramel and bready malt with restrained orange and grapefruit. I detect a little tangerine. Pine is pronounced throughout.
T: Piney and herbal with some grassy notes. Malt foundation is of caramel and bread. Alcohol is well hidden. Bitterness is smooth and at a moderate level. Orange and grapefruit are restrained. Bitterness waxes in the finish.
M: Medium body with upper medium carbonation. Mouthfeel is dry and sticky.
Overall: An okay Double IPA. Malty and somewhat inexpressive.

A - Pours burnt orange/copper in color, off-white head, spotty lace.
S - Lots of malts and hops...more malts then I was expecting. Hoppy notes of resin, mango, and citrus. Malty notes of caramel, and light toasted bread.
T - More hops then malts on the palate, which doesn't surprise me. Mango, resin, and citrus are up front and followed by light toasted malts. Alcohol is pretty easy to pick out and it a bit hot. Finish is oily mix of resin and sweet fruit.
M - Medium body, good carbonation, oily finish.
O - Not a bad DIPA, but a little "too much" for me. I don't mind the mix of hops and malts, but the alcohol is pretty agressive and in-your-face to enjoy more then part of a can by myself. That said, I'd have it again but would rather drink the Brown Ale or APA.

Pours a hazy amber color with a fluffy off-white head. Strong citric character with lots of grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon peel. There is a nice touch of pine and some sweet toffee malt. A bit of floral hops in there, too. The flavor is a good blend of sweetness and bitterness. Plenty of pine and grapefruit peel with a very strong citric hop profile and flavor. The bitterness is mostly present on the finish.

I had this beer at Monkey Paw during a recent trip to San Diego. Beer has a nice copper color with an appropriate head. Aroma is floral but a little subdued. A very pronounced hop bitterness, I wish they would have used some of the bittering hops for later additions. Not a bad IIPA, but there are better ones out there.

Scarlet red body. Thick ivory white head with great retention and lacing. Pretty thick aroma. Solid caramelized malt aroma with canabis and pine the main hop contributors. Pretty interesting flavor and very interesting mouthfeel. This beer feels almost like it's coming out of a cask. Low carbonation, but nowhere near being flat. Very easy drinking. Flavorful beer too. Pretty malt forward DIPA which is a bit curious coming from San Diego, but it's a very good beer. Caramel malt center with pine and resinous hop qualities contributing. Solid beer. Thanks to brah ZAP for hauling this one back for me.

Pours a hazy orange-ish to amber color with a light tan head. In the aroma, pineapple citrus hops with a nice mellow malt. In the taste, dry pine and orange citrus hops stand out, a dryer malt and citrus rinds in the end. A mellow bite and a medium bodied mouthfeel, with a dry grassy, orange citrus rind like aftertaste. Big citrus and mellow pine, quite nice.

This case-based, consciousness-based approach to the process of learning as well as content has inspired me with confidence and skill to apply the ancient teaching of Ayurveda in modern clinical practice. The fundamentals of Ayurveda were masterfully woven with case studies from the beginning of the practitioner course. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to the beginning Ayurvedic student or the more advanced practitioner desiring a refined level of skill in practice."
– Patricia Berger, BA LMP, CAP LMT
"Dr. Paul has created a beautifully organized program that is always interesting, stimulating enough to keep me wanting to move forward, and challenging enough to stretch myself out of my comfort zone. I am a chiropractor and after only eight weeks am already able to implement pulse diagnosis, herbal therapies, recipes and other strategies into what I can provide for my practice members.
– Heidi Chapnick, D.C

"As a licensed health care practitioner I can attest to the quality of the training in New World Ayurveda. Dr Dugliss engages each student in a way in which they are immediately immersed in hands on assessment, diagnosis and management.

I treasure the training I received with New World Ayurveda."
– Lori Nelson, ARNP, Women's Health Nurse Practitioner

It was even possible to pay for the course over the next year as I studied! Dr. Dugliss is so knowledgeable and I have learned so much from his course - in my own home and on my own time. Thank you so much for this opportunity! "
– Kathy Hudson
"The case-based approach and consciousness model made for a smooth transition to my own practice. I felt prepared with enough skill and knowledge to begin with the confidence that I was able to offer worthy service to my clients. Not only have I gained valuable knowledgeable into this vast science through the coursework, but I have advanced my own consciousness and increased my light. In the final measure that is what I truly can offer to others."
– Rhonda Egidio, PhD, Ayurveda Practitioner and Professor of Education.

Should Menlo Park levy a utility tax?

First, Menlo Park had a deficit and we desperately needed money. Now, we have a surplus. Perhaps the new council will direct the city manager's office to come up with reliable financial figures & projections.
Imposing a tax is a serious step that should be taken only when truly necessary. We already have parcel taxes for the schools, county sales tax, state & federal taxes.
I would prefer that the new council work out its plan for El Camino and encourage new businesses that will increase our commercial tax base while respecting environmental concerns. Let's keep the big picture in mind.

As we arrived on the scene we saw officers walking handcuffed suspects into the Montebello Police Station. What took over 2 years to investigate was taking a mere matter of hours to complete. Over 40 people indicted. In the crosshairs of a pair of ATF-led investigations are the Mexican Mafia and a drug cartel.
A source close to the investigation tells me the arrests stem from a pair of federal indictments handed down against suspected high level members of the Mexican Mafia for, among other things, their alleged efforts to expand their criminal enterprise with a Mexican drug cartel.
The indictments allege federal racketeering charges, allegations of violent crime in aiding racketeering and accusations of distributing methamphetamines, heroin and cocaine as well as possession of firearms.
The sweep operation started at 4am this morning involving ATF, DEA, LA Co. Sheriffs Dept., LAPD, DA's Office, US Attorneys Office, Department of Corrections Special Services Unit and others.
A news conference is planned at the ATF offices in Glendale at 10am where firearms and drugs seized in the arrests will be displayed and the case will be further explained.

Cable car supporters to seek talks with Conservators' (From Worcester News)

Cable car supporters to seek talks with Conservators'
2:01pm Thursday 27th March 2014 in News
SUPPORTERS of plans to create a cable car on the Malvern Hills are planning to talk to the Conservators about the project.
Last month High Street Malvern unveiled ambitious plans for a £5 million cable car, linking the town centre with the Worcestershire Beacon, as a "silver bullet" boost for the local economy.
Roger Sutton of High Street Malvern said: "We've been talking to the town council and the district council, and now it's time to talk to the Conservators. We're extending an invitation for them to come and talk to us and we hope they do.
"We know there's a view that the Conservators won't allow it because it's a development on the hills, but there's another view that they have to maximise access, and a cable car would certainly give elderly and disabled people better access."
But this week Conservators' director Steve Bound said he could not see how a cable car could be erected without a new Act of Parliament.
He said: "Under the existing acts, the Conservators have a legal duty to prevent building on the hills, and a cable car would involve erecting pylons to carry the cable, plus a station. "We've not specifically sought legal advice on this, but my understanding is that a new act would be needed to allow this. We will be happy to listen to the cable car proposers, but I think they need to be aware of this."
At the annual town meeting, resident Martin Burd criticised Malvern Town Council for setting up a working party to look into the proposal.
He said: "I would suggest that all aspects of this project should cease forthwith. The council has better things to do with its time than wasting it on this lost cause."
But Cllr Mike Charles, a member of the working party, said: "The town council has a duty to the people of the town to make the town progress. At the moment, as Churchill said, it's a graveyard with a bus running through it."

I hope they have learned their lesson after the ST Anns Well fiasco. The previous leader was too close to the local shop keepers and Town Council, chopping trees down to improve the view is NOT conservation and neither is a cable car.
I hope that the local taxpayer is not going to be footing any bills and legal costs over this.

They have for instance a duty to help graziers and local farmers. To maintain paths and access.
So whilst I don t want a cable car if the majority of the precept paying residents did then realistically they should be acvountable to those who pay for the hills.

While college football is less of a quarterback league than the NFL, the QB position is nonetheless an integral aspect of a football team. With Gary Nova showing no progress since he joined the Scarlet Knights, and with Kyle Flood still having trouble securing an assistant for both offensive coordinator and QB coach, Rutgers definitely needs help at the position. Wiegers is long gone, but Flood was able to secure a commitment from an under-the-radar prospect in Giovanni Rescigno. Initially a low-rated recruit, Rescigno has seen his stock rise since his commitment to the Rutgers program. He was upgraded to a four-star prospect by ESPN and is a three-star composite on 24/7 Sports.
New Rutgers QB commit Giovanni Rescigno is a four-star now. I think a lot of schools missed on him: http://t.co/yo3n5Hvh95

In his last appearance at a Microsoft shareholder meeting as CEO, Steve Ballmer said he's completely certain the company is in very good shape to succeed in the next decade under someone else's captainship.
Ballmer, who has gotten emotional in some public appearances since announcing his intention to retire in August, spoke with conviction but stayed composed throughout the meeting, which was webcast. "There is a tremendous amount of opportunity ahead for Microsoft," he said.

Ironically, Bill Gates, who is viewed as more cerebral, did choke up at the end of his prepared remarks when he addressed Ballmer's retirement and the ongoing search for his replacement.
Both he and Ballmer are committed to making sure that the next CEO "is the right person at the right time for this company" and that this person will guide Microsoft to success, Gates said, as his voice broke.
He didn't provide a timeline for when the replacement will be chosen, but said the search committee, of which he's part, has been meeting with external and internal candidates. "We're pleased with the progress," Gates said.
Gates, the company's co-founder and first CEO, was replaced by Ballmer in 2000. Gates is now the company's chairman.
Among the candidates rumored to be in the running are Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally, Satya Nadella, executive vice president of Microsoft's Cloud and Enterprise Division, Kevin Turner, the company's COO, who was CIO at Walmart and CEO of Sam's Club, and Stephen Elop, Nokia CEO and former division president at Microsoft, who is due to return to Redmond when Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's smartphone business is completed.
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Ballmer, Microsoft director and search committee chief John Thompson and other company executives said Ballmer wasn't pushed out but that he decided to retire after becoming convinced only a new leader will be able to accelerate the pace of change in the company.
At the heart of that change is Microsoft's ongoing transformation from a provider of packaged software to a provider of hardware devices and cloud services, a strategy Ballmer reiterated is the right one during Tuesday's meeting.
The so-called "devices and services" emphasis will help Microsoft succeed both among consumers and among business customers as software moves to the cloud and mobile devices like tablets and smartphones take on more and more tasks previously handled by desktop and laptop PCs.
Concrete examples of this strategy include the Xbox gaming console, whose new Xbox One version will ship this week, the Office 365 cloud suite of collaboration and productivity apps, the Azure enterprise cloud infrastructure platform and the Surface tablets, Ballmer said.

We bought this refrigerator two years ago. It was within our budget, but I fetl the Kenmore name meant it would be a quality appliance. I can't believe how wrong I was. This piece of crap started having problems almost immediately. The shelf rails in the door cracked right in the middle and fell off, one at a time, until we were no longer able to put food on the shelves at all.
That took away a lot of storage space. The bottom crisper drawers seem to be made of the most brittle plastic known to mankind. The handles literally crumbled off in our hands and left jagged shards left for us to try to pull the drawers open with. Our option now is to take them out entirely and just put the food directly on the bottom of the unit. The freezer shelf rails are cracking now and I imagine they will be gone within the month. I lament the day our old refridgerator was carted away and this one was delivered. In summary, I would NEVER buy anything Kenmore again. Or Whirlpool. Please research completely before wasting your money. Invest a little more for a quality appliance that will last you for years, rather than skimping and going for the least expensive model to save a few dollars now. Trust me. I wish I had. I'd be better off with a bathtub full of ice.

This thing has been problematic since day one. Freezer wouldn't freeze, fridge wouldn't keep cold. We'd do repairs (fridges are easy to do yourself, parts are cheap, and all info is online), and it would work for a bit, but then it would die again. I feel like we've been courting food poisoning since we got the thing, because even with it cranked all the way up it almost never stays cold enough. The bars on the door cracked right in the center. The crisper drawers are tiny and poorly designed. It's *loud*. The door handles keep loosening and need constant tightening. Don't buy this. I wish we had waited and gone without a fridge for a month or so until we could afford something better. This is a truly horrible appliance. Don't waste your money.

We purchased this refrigerator for our downstairs bar. The refrigerator fit perfectly behind the bar and is very spacious inside. It has plenty of room for all the extras that we need for the bar. The price was right and the ladies at our Sears store in Reedsburg, Wisconsin were exceptionally helpful.

We like this item and it is what we needed for a second home....not too big. But after having it delivered and installed my husband says it is noisy...I have not seen it installed yet but I am hoping the noise on it will cut down after it runs for awhile.

Great fridge. Great sale-good price. I wish there were more levels to adjust the glass shelves--I felt they were too evenly spaced. More notches in the middle side-part of the fridge would allow optimum spacing. Also, at the bottom of each each shelf on the door was not one continuous piece. So, objects would fall out since the horizontal shelf was not almost as wide as the shelf. A narrower "slit: across each shelf would be better. And, then, somehow the freezer door seems to not close as tightly if we had an item just out past a certain point over the shelf. Sure wish there would be more inside freezer space instead of the door taking up most of the empty area where the door needs to close. Hard to explain what I mean since terminology and descriptions about something I don't write about often hinders me.

Nice fridge. Like the glass shelving. Wish the crisper drawers were a little bigger. Overall a nice fridge. Like the fact that if I want to install a ice maker I can.

20 Ways to Cut Energy Bills
In the Kitchen
What luck: Prices for electricity and home heating oil are expected to hit record highs -- just as the days are getting shorter and colder. And this is only the beginning: It's estimated that the cost of electricity might jump another 9 percent this winter, with heating oil not far behind with a 6 percent increase. That's on top of big increases that have already taken hold -- 34 percent for heating oil during the first six months of 2008 and 12 percent for electricity during the first five months, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.
But there are simple ways to fight back against soaring energy expenses. It's hard to estimate just how much you can lower bills, but here are 20 tips that can certainly add up (some, like a programmable thermostat, can save hundreds of dollars all on their own):In the Kitchen
1. Don't overstock your fridge. Holidays mean an abundance of food, but because air can't circulate properly in an overloaded refrigerator, the compressor has to work harder than it should.
2. Buy a toaster oven so you don't have to turn on the full-size oven just to reheat a turkey breast.
3. Try making holiday meals in a slow-cooker. According to Progress Energy, a North Carolina energy company, it costs 2 cents an hour to use a slow cooker -- only 18 cents for an eight-hour roast. Firing up an electric oven burns more than 22 times as much power per hour.
4. Use ceramic or glass when cooking -- it allows you to lower your oven temperature by about 25 degrees F. and the food cooks just as quickly.
5. Deck the halls (and save money). If you're into lighting up your house with holiday decorations, opt for LED holiday lights. The bigger your display, the bigger your savings when the power bill arrives in January.
6. Thinking about a new TV for the holidays? Today's plasma and LCD sets can account for about 10 percent of the average home's energy consumption, so pay attention to ratings from the federal program Energy Star.

Research Triangle Park News
The Research Triangle Park Helps 320 Students Get Ready for School
The Research Triangle Park's annual Back 2 School Backpack and School Supply Drive was a huge success. Through the generosity and support of many individuals and companies throughout RTP, the Community Outreach@rtp Program was able to provide 320 students with the essential tools they need to succeed this school year.
"I'm continually amazed by the generosity of RTP employees," said James Lim, Director of @rtp Programs. "During tough economic times, it's wonderful to know that so many people are still willing to give."
The annual campaign invites employees in The Research Triangle Park (and others) to donate school supplies and backpacks just in time for the back to school rush. Working in conjunction with Communities In Schools of Durham and Communities In Schools of Wake County, these much-needed supplies are distributed to students in both counties.
In addition to the completed backpacks, numerous additional supplies were provided to CIS of Wake County and CIS of Durham to help supplement their continued efforts year round.
The Research Triangle Park thanks the many donors, and in particular NetApp who raised $2600 to fund the purchasing of 160 backpacks and the Vicious Hogs Association, a local group of motorcycle enthusiasts, for collecting the backpacks and supplies to add another 63 backpacks.
Other significant contributions came from employees with Biogen Idec, Syngenta, RTI International, Cisco Systems, Inc., and incubator First Flight Venture Center and its tenants.

Heap relishing Clitheroe task
11:30am Wednesday 8th January 2014 in Sport By Suzanne Geldard, Sport reporter
SAM Heap has been tasked with making Clitheroe hard to beat on his return to Shawbridge.
The Blues won only one of their five games in December – picking up just four points from a possible 15 – and began the new year with a 6-0 thrashing at Darlington 1883.
But with a new backroom team in place under recently appointed manager Simon Garner, Clitheroe are seeking improvements in the second half of the season.
And Heap, who spent 10 months coaching with Vancouver Whitecaps' Academy, says building from the back is the best course of action.
"The boys have had a bit of a tough run and December wasn't a good month," he said.
"We're just lacking goals at the moment. That's one of the areas I've been asked to work on, to make us harder to break down.
"If you can keep a clean sheet it guarantees you at least a point and you can build from there.
"It's no good scoring twos and threes at home and not getting the points."
But Heap is relishing the challenge of helping to turn Clitheroe's fortunes around.
The striker has thrown himself into coaching while recovering from knee surgery, leading to a transfer from Nelson – where he was head of development – to first-team coach at the Evo-Stik First Division North side.
And while the striker hasn't ruled out a comeback on the playing field, he is more than content with his new backroom role.
"I was delighted to come back to Clitheroe. It was my first semi-professional club in 2007 so I've got a lot of memories there and had a good rapport with the fans. I won the supporters' player of the year.
"I love the place and it seems like a good fit for me," said Heap. "When Simon took over the team was towards the bottom of the table.
"Finishing mid-table would be a successful year for us.
"We're trying to build on that with maybe one or two extra players, but it's mainly about developing a core squad.
"We've got a young squad and a young management team so we're all still learning, but we can learn together."

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for much of the Kansas City area.
The watch is in effect until 10 p.m. Friday. Storms have begun firing in central Kansas and will push east throughout the afternoon and evening.
The first severe thunderstorm warning was issued Friday night for parts of Douglas, Osage and Shawnee counties.
KCTV5 Meteorologist Hallie Shulman says that the storms should reach the metro before midnight.
Gusty winds, hail and heavy rainfall are the primary concern. Shulman advises taking precautions if you have outdoor plans for Friday night.
Some area high schools are moved up their start times for Friday night's games or pushed the games back until Saturday. Click here for a complete list.
KCTV5 Chief Meteorologist Chris Suchan said some of the storms could be on the stronger side with winds of 45 to 60 mph. Heavy rainfall is a big concern.
Storm strength should diminish after midnight with just a few lingering showers expected to start our Saturday morning. It's going to be a much cooler day with a morning temperature in the upper 40s and afternoon highs in the low 60s," Suchan said. "Sunday will bring mostly cloudy skies and about a 10 percent chance of isolated rain showers. Temperatures will warm from the low 40s in the morning to the upper 50s in the afternoon."

Mullein is native to much of Europe and Asia and is naturalized to North America. There are over 360 species of Verbascum with V. thapsus, V. phlomides, and V. densiflorum mentioned most often in herbal texts. The leaves and flowers are both used medicinally.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Mullein leaves and flowers are classified in traditional herbal literature as expectorants (promotes the discharge of mucus) and demulcents (soothes irritated mucous membranes). Historically, mullein has been used by herbalists as a remedy for the respiratory tract, particularly in cases of irritating coughs with bronchial congestion.1 Some herbal texts extend the therapeutic use to pneumonia and asthma.2 Due to its mucilage content, mullein has also been used topically by herbalists as a soothing emollient for inflammatory skin conditions and burns.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The route ascends an obvious dihedral about 20 feet to the right (and around a corner) of Chockstone. Rossiter gives the first pitch a 5.7, and IMO I think it deserves a 5.8. It's awkward and a little bit more strenuous than a 5.7 would be.
Bring cams from #0.5 to 3 (Camalots). Doubles in #1 and 2 would be very helpful. The top of the first pitch has a good spot between two rocks (on the right side of the ledge) for a couple large stoppers and some tricams for a perfect anchor.

Barbican Road karaoke bar decision due in early 2013
7:29am Saturday 29th December 2012 in Business news By Mark Stead, email@example.com
A DECISION on whether a former Chinese restaurant in York can become a late-night karaoke bar is set to be made early in the new year.
Plans for the refurbishment of the old Royal Dragon in Barbican Road have been submitted to City of York Council, but have been criticised by local residents.
The applicant, ZL Chen, wants to turn the building into a music venue called The Regency. The council granted a licence last month, but the proposed new venture still needs planning permission.
The site is being renovated, with plans to feature a ground-floor restaurant, three dining rooms for parties on the upper levels, and 11 karaoke rooms. Agents for Mr Chen said "significant investment" was being made in the building, which also once housed The Spotted Cow pub.
Council planners are expected to decide in mid-January whether the plans can go ahead, but they previously raised "significant concerns" about the venue's licence application, which also drew objections from nearby residents, due to the owners wanting to open until 3.30am every day.
A planning statement by town planners JWPC said the capacity of The Regency would be 100 and it would create ten new jobs. It also said the building was "of historic merit" and at risk, despite not being listed.
It said: "The building is in need of a new use. The proposal therefore seeks to secure a new role for the upper floors which is both economically viable and consistent with the building's conservation."
The firm said soundproofing measures were included in the design to prevent music "impacting unreasonably" on nearby residents, and the last entry time for customers - who will have to eat at the restaurant to use the karaoke facilities - would be midnight.
It said the scheme would "preserve the site's historic character" and pay for its future upkeep.
Eight objections have been received from local residents, saying the proposed karaoke bar is in the wrong location as it would be next to a residential area, and raising fears about noise disturbance, including people continuing to sing after leaving.

I went to loads of very rowdy gigs there. Very noisy, drunken gigs. People standing on tables, smashed glasses, loud raucous music that sort of thing.
Karaoke will be positively sedate and civilised by comparison.

Excellent, perhaps people have forgotten the history of this area, the former industrial use and notably when this was the Irish quarter and the police wouldn't even venture in. It has only become more 'residential' in the last 20 years as former industrial or shop units have been converted. The inn has been there longer. It's like townies moving to the countryside and complaining about sheep bleating and church bells!

My mother worked behind the bar when Joan Whitehead owned it (she was temporarily in the Guiness Book of Records for shouting 'Siouxeee' - ironic when I think my mother is called Susan!!) and was there until The Spotted Cow closed.
I used to glass collect now and again and my, when the bands played, it was deafening!! Even upstairs, the noise was such that you might has well have had the drummer in your cochlea!
Tinnitus? Well, indeed!!!
Those objections will be from the buildings new neighbours who now reside on the site of the old bus depot.
If the old Spotted Cow was to return, they would know about noise pollution then.
It would be like a scene from the Banks House in Mary Poppins when Admiral Boom set off his cannon!!
