MF Global Customers Recovering Everything Lost
It's been two years since 1.6-billion dollars vanished from the accounts of MF Global customers - but now it appears those customers will recover what they lost. A federal bankruptcy court judge has approved a plan that would close the remaining shortfall for some 20-thousand customers. The trustee overseeing the return of customer money - James Giddens - had recovered money and gradually disbursed it to clients. But in the face of a roughly 230-million dollar gap - Giddens recently petitioned Judge Martin Glenn to free up remaining funds from MF Global Incorporated's general estate. In agreeing - the judge has cleared the way for Giddens to make customers whole - possibly by the end of the year. Ahead of the judge's ruling - Giddens said it seemed inconceivable in the opening moments of the liquidation proceeding that the possibility of 100-percent return of property owed to former MF Global customers would even be considered. The judge agreed - stating that nobody thought the customers would recover everything they lost.

Take ego out of the equation. Take out one jurist's desire to preside over the trial of the century. What's left is good reason for US District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns to step down from the James "Whitey" Bulger trial.
A judge like Stearns, who worked as a federal prosecutor in Boston while Bulger was roaming the streets with blessings from the FBI and US Attorney's office, should not preside over his trial.

How do you write about Game 6 of the 2011 World Series? There are all sorts of angles to take. So many angles. They're all squiggly tailed ideas, poking around an unfertilized egg of understanding. The egg was also the best baseball game most of us will ever see. The ideas are bobbing and weaving, trying to get in. There will be a writer somewhere who gets it right. The resulting article will be a star-child, floating in the heavens like the baby at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. And after we read it, we still won't have any idea what in the hell just happened, just like in 2001. This is bigger than all of us.
Every baseball game has what-ifs. Every single World Series game that's ever been played was festooned with what-ifs. Should Manager Q have gone with Player Y? Should he have pinch-hit there, bunted there, brought in this reliever, that reliever, left in the starter too long, not long enough?
Game 6 of the 2011 World Series -- hereafter known as the greatest baseball game played since the advent of color TV -- had three what-ifs that were clearly defined and crystallized into the purest possible what-if form. They weren't what-ifs that branched off into some arcane decision tree of hypothetical scenarios. These what-ifs were if this were different, the Texas Rangers would have won the World Series on October 27th, 2011. They're completely unambiguous what-ifs.
What-If #1
Neftali Feliz's two-strike pitch to David Freese in the ninth
It was a 98-m.p.h. fastball. It wasn't a great location. But it was a 98-m.p.h. fastball. And it wasn't a bad location:
As an astute student of mathematical theory, you might have noticed that there's no "3" in that image. That's because it's obscured completely by the "4", which ended up as a game-tying triple. The third pitch of the at-bat was a strike. It was a swinging strike, probably on account of the whole 98-m.p.h. part. Feliz came at Freese with two off-speed pitches to start the at-bat, and when he finally threw a fastball, Freese was late. As just about every person who has ever existed would be.
The very next pitch came at the exact same speed. It had the exact same break and movement.
It was in the exact same location. One was a strike. The other wasn't the end of the World Series.
What-If #2
Nelson Cruz's missed catch on the David Freese triple.
The Rangers might not be in the World Series if it weren't for Nelson Cruz. They probably wouldn't. That's worth remembering, no matter what happens.
But a good defensive right fielder catches that ball. Cruz wasn't running at a full sprint; he was running at 80%, still judging how much carry the ball actually had.
It isn't just a good defensive right fielder who catches that ball. An average right fielder who sets up a couple of steps to his right might catch that ball. A poor right fielder, one who gets a better jump on the ball five times out of ten, might catch that ball. It was a catchable ball. Oh, man, how it was catchable. It was the last out of the World Series.
If he were able to sprawl out and catch it on a dive, it would have been the most replayed highlight in World Series history. The last out on a diving catch? It would have trumped Gibson's limping chainsaw, easy.
As is, the play will be only one of the most replayed highlights in World Series history.
What-If #3
Scott Feldman's two-strike pitch to Lance Berkman
Feldman has been a bit of a folk hero in the postseason. Whenever a Rangers starter leaked oil in the early innings, Feldman was there to clean it up. He was a relic from an earlier era, when the Rangers just couldn't find pitching. They had a bunch of kids who could barely crack 100 innings, and they had Feldman, who pitched so well that the Rangers rewarded him with a $16 million contract to buy out his arbitration years.
Then he got hurt. Then he was ineffective. He wasn't on the 2010 Rangers' postseason roster. He was a ledger item, something the Rangers wish they could erase with the back-end of a #2 pencil. And he clawed his way back from injury and organizational purgatory to be on the mound with a chance to record the last out of the first World Series win in Texas history.
He threw this pitch in the bottom of the tenth to Lance Berkman:
It was a two-strike pitch. A swing and a miss was a championship. A called third strike was a championship. Any sort of ball put in play that was turned into an out -- which happens about 70% of the time -- was a championship. Mike Napoli called for an inside fastball. He set up here:
And the ball went here ...
That's where it was supposed to go. They were definitely pitching to some sort of scouting report -- inside, inside, inside. But there's a chance that the scouting report read something like this:
Pitch him inside. Fastballs inside. Or don't. I don't care. He's Lance Berkman. Do what you want. I make $30,000 a year, and you're asking me how to get Berkman out? If I knew that, I wouldn't be driving an '89 Camry with a tape deck that doesn't work.
A pitch with a little more tail might have jammed him. An outside breaking ball might have gotten him on his front foot. A fastball above his helmet would have been called a ball, and the next pitch might have gone differently.
As is, it was a game-tying single. For the second time in as many innings, the Cardinals were down to their final strike of the season. For the second time in as many innings, the Rangers' pitcher threw the exact wrong pitch. Not a bad pitch, necessarily. Just the wrong pitch.
All of the narratives, all the angles -- whether Ron Washington made the wrong moves, or if La Russa made the right moves, or if Neftali Feliz choked, or ... -- they wouldn't be applicable if Feliz stepped a quarter inch to his left on the rubber. If Mike Napoli had called a slider instead of a fastball in either of the two at-bats with two strikes. If Lance Berkman was a little too concerned that he was being set up for a pitch away. If Scott Feldman gripped his fastball with .08 fewer pounds-per-square-inch. What if, what if, what if.

Rickie Weeks is coming up in the bottom of the fourth, because he's the Brewers' No. 5 hitter today.
This is nothing new, as Weeks has been the Brewers' No. 5 hitter throughout this Division Series.
The only problem is that the Brewers' No. 5 hitter hasn't been hitting, at all.
Weeks tripled in Game 2, but is hitless in his other 15 at-bats.
Flukish? Sure. But Weeks really hasn't hit much since late July, when he went on the DL with a serious ankle injury. Weeks returned to the lineup in September, but since then and including this Division Series, he's batted .189 with one double, one triple and one home run.
It's not like anybody thinks Weeks is healthy. Here was Ron Roenicke yesterday, talking about Weeks:
"You guys see the ankle, it isn't right," Roenicke said. "We knew it wouldn't be. But we were hoping that offensively, he would get locked in and be able to really hold down that fifth spot."
The Brewers acquired Jerry Hairston, Jr. at the trade deadline in part to cover for Weeks' injury. But he's since replaced Casey McGehee at third, leaving Roenicke limited options at second.Craig Counsell would probably be the first choice, but he's had a disappointing regular season, hitting just .178.
One can't help wondering, though ... If Weeks' ankle is limiting him offensively, what about defensively? Is he still better than Craig Counsell with the bat and the glove?
Hard to say. That's why Roenicke's the manager, I guess.

Well, it's that time again. Time to update your Autodesk Network License Manager files to the latest and greatest (Autodesk) version.
Autodesk is providing version 11.11 for 2014 products.
You can get the Autodesk Network License Manager files here for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions:
You can always get the latest version of the NLM from the following link:
At the time of this post, the latest version is 11.11.1, which is newer than the version supplied by Autodesk. I am attaching the necessary 32-bit adskflex vendor daemon file in this message (v11.11) for your convenience. You can use this file if you are using the Flexera License Administrator instead of LMTOOLS. You can find the FLEXnet License Admin also in the link above. I will post the 64-bit adskflex.exe vendor daemon file in a follow-up post below.
You can update your license file to 2014 versions once your Subscription has been fulfilled.
You can use the online method to activate your license here:
Or you can can call Autodesk Product Registration and Authorization:
1-800-551-1490 > Option 1 (English) > Option 2 > (Network)
Asia / Pacific: 65.6735.5688
Europe / Middle East / Asia: 41.32.723.9595
You will need to provide your serial number and ethernet ID of the new license server.
For a Quick-Start Guide on configuring the Autodesk License Manager, please see my post for further information:
Good Luck!
Solved! Go to Solution.
For those of you who need the 64-bit version of the adskflex.exe vendor daemon for your LMTOOLS update or FLEXnet License Administrator, you can find it attached to this post.
i was hoping they would switch to the flex net publisher
As in previous iterations of the NLM upgrades, this version also seems to suffer from the same -15 errors, IPv6 issues, and the subsequent exiting of the adskflex.exe vendor daemon on Windows 8 and Server 20xx R2 installations.
I was able to get it working with no problems on Windows 7, Server 2003, and Windows XP. However, if you are installing on newer machine configurations, you will want to see my posts about fixing -15 errors here:
Subsequently, you may find success in running the 11.7 version of the adskflex.exe vendor daemon, as I have done on my Windows 8 machine. If you would like to use this file with the latest NLM, you can. I have attached the older 11.7 version zipped here.

I agree, Darren. I keep hearing rumors about cloud licensing though. Hard telling...

i have heard of that too
supposedly they are testing this with certain accounts
Isn't this the same one that came with 2013 software? If so, then we should be able to use the existing LMTools already installed from last year. Correct? Just checking. Thanks.
no a new license manager version comes out every year
2013 is 11.10
2014 is 11.11
that's strange because mine shows the following:
Then your license manager is already upgraded. However, the vendor daemon from Autodesk changes every year as well.

|Logano defends spot in NASCAR's Chase field
|Friday, September 13, 2013 12:37 AM
By JENNA FRYER
Associated Press
CHICAGO — Joey Logano defended his place in the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship on Thursday, rattling off his season statistics as proof he earned his spot in the 12-driver field regardless of any help he may have received in the deciding race.
And make no mistake, Logano said: If anybody helped him at Richmond, he had no clue.
The latest driver caught in the fallout of NASCAR's investigation into Saturday night's race at Richmond, Logano learned Wednesday that radio traffic appeared to show Front Row Racing's crew chief and spotter talking about David Gilliland giving Logano a pivotal spot on the track in exchange for something unidentified from Penske Racing.
There's nothing in Penske radio transmissions to indicate wrongdoing but NASCAR announced Thursday it is still looking into the incident.
"That is new stuff to me. Obviously there is no transcript on our radio of anything said about it (and) obviously I would have known about it if that was the case," Logano said.
Logano wondered if a discussion on top of the spotter stand would have been a big deal even if it did occur.
"That is stuff that happens week in and week out with spotters. They are up there communicating back and forth trying to work deals out — 'Hey, help me out here, I will help you out here, let's work together.' That happens all the time," Logano explained. "I don't look at it as being a big deal at all."
NASCAR might not share that view as it heads into Sunday's first Chase race at Chicagoland Speedway marred by the first major scandal on the 10-year anniversary of the championship-deciding format.
There's always been the potential for multi-car teams to band together in an effort to win the championship. NASCAR decided Michael Waltrip Racing crossed the line at Richmond, where the team was accused of attempting to manipulate the race to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase.
As part of its punishment, NASCAR took the unprecedented step of replacing Truex in the Chase with Ryan Newman, citing the dive that MWR driver Brian Vickers took in the closing laps to aid Truex. Ironically, Vickers had to help Logano's final finishing position to get Truex in the Chase.
Logano made no apologies for how the race played out — MWR did what it did on its own and Logano used six straight top-10 finishes and three straight top-5 finishes to put himself into Chase contention.
"It wasn't to help me, it was to help themselves," Logano added. "Indirectly, it helped me and hey, thanks, all right, that is fine, whatever. If you want to write a story about how we shouldn't be here because of what happened with the Waltrip cars, go ahead but I think it is a bunch of B.S. if you write a story like that because if you look at the numbers, it proves everyone wrong."
Between MWR and Front Row Motorsports, Logano gained enough positions to finish 10th in the final standings and bump Jeff Gordon from the Chase. The 4-time series champion is furious over how it's played out and only gotten angrier with everything he's learned about the alleged manipulation.
"It's unlike any I've ever felt before, really," Gordon added. "Because you feel like as a team that we did everything that we could do to make in the Chase and I'm so proud of that effort … You realize that people all want to do things for their teammates to help them but you also know there's certain lines that have to be drawn with that."
Although drivers quietly debated whether NASCAR should have expanded the field this year to 14 drivers to deal with the Richmond dilemma — allowing Truex and Gordon into Chase — NASCAR President Mike Helton essentially ruled that out Monday in announcing the penalties when he said the sanctioning body couldn't address "the ripple effect" of MWR's actions.
Still, there were jokes Thursday that Gordon could show up at any moment as NASCAR continued to investigate Front Row's radio transmissions.
"I am sure Jeff is hoping there is a favorable ruling for him to be in the Chase, although we just took a new Chase picture, and I don't know if we are going to be taking another one in a day or two," said Gordon teammate Jimmie Johnson, the 5-time champion. "Unfortunately, I think he's going to be disappointed."
Bowyer ready to move forward and focus on Chase: Clint Bowyer is putting the controversy surrounding his spin at Richmond behind him and turning his focus toward the first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Bowyer said Thursday he's got nothing left to discuss about the penalties NASCAR levied against Michael Waltrip Racing for its attempts to alter the outcome at Richmond to get Martin Truex Jr. into the 12-driver Chase field.
"The one thing I can tell you is I am tired of talking about it — I've had a rough couple of days, no question about that," Bowyer said. "I've got that behind me and I'm focused on getting that helmet on and getting the most out of my race car this weekend. I had a rough few days. It was probably rougher than I've ever had. But I spoke my peace. I did national interviews all day long (Tuesday). I could have just as easily ducked away from all of them."
Bowyer spun with seven laps to go in Saturday night's race at Richmond to bring out a caution that triggered a NASCAR investigation into MWR. NASCAR determined it could not prove Bowyer spun intentionally but did find MWR manipulated the outcome of the race in a bid to get Martin Truex Jr. into the Chase.
Among the many penalties levied against MWR was Ryan Newman replacing Truex in the Chase. Bowyer's title chances were not hurt because the 50-point penalties levied against the MWR drivers were done before the Chase seedings.
Bowyer goes into Sunday's Chase opener at Chicago ranked eighth in the field and 15 points behind leader Matt Kenseth. Bowyer said MWR deserved to be penalized for its actions at Richmond and the subject should now be closed.
"MWR stepped over that line. We got penalized," he said.
Jeff Gordon, who lost a spot in the Chase because of the MWR shenanigans, did not believe Bowyer was properly penalized and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. agreed.
"I think (MWR) actually got off easy as far as the penalties and fines … especially Clint. He's relatively unaffected," said Earnhardt, who was behind Bowyer when he spun and said NASCAR could use the computer telemetry from Bowyer's car to determine if the driver did spin intentionally. "We don't have to get the pitchforks out and go after Clint Bowyer. I'm just saying that if you wanted to know what happened, it would be pretty easy to figure it out without needing Clint to admit what he did."
Former teammate Kevin Harvick said Bowyer will be just fine once he gets back on the track today.
"There's just too much attention on the team, on him for it not to have some sort of impact," Harvick said. "The best way to get around it and put it all to bed is to go out on the racetrack and perform. That always seems to hush everything up."

EA wants to make an offer you can't refuse.
|k s
I can't help but think Richard Hilleman looks like some kind of evil hippie but that may just be the bad tastes in my mouth from EA.
|Michiel Hendriks
The only thing I see EA bring to the game (pun intended) is nickle and diming the shit out of it.
Mod commonalities have lived in proper symbiosis with commercial games since... doom(?).
Initially without explicit support from the game developers. The community created their own tools. Later developers started to provide their own tools with the games they released. (This is how Epic Games started to grow to what it has become right now. This is where Valve originated.)
Mojang doesn't need interference from EA, they can just enlist mod developers and stay independent.
|Cordero W
What? Game developers actually making a game for the love of making games rather than for profit? Say it ain't so. Not to mention, the money Notch is sitting on is just enough for a small indie studio to last for quite a while. A company like EA couldn't live off it, but that just shows the ratio of success : employee numbers.
|Alan Winthrop
Mojang has enough money to hire away a team of EA's best to make a mod manager in game store or whatever EA would have in mind, so I don't really see how EA could possibly offer value to them.
However, I think Mojang is much smarter in their development approach because they cater to their audience rather than trying to create a game that is everything to everyone.
|Kyle Redd
In all of EA's existence, I cannot recall a single partnership with or acquisition of any developer that genuinely resulted in better games. I truly hope (and expect) that Persson will not even entertain the idea of joining with them.
|Eric McVinney
To shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding. Yea, I have a feeling Mojang would do that :P
Mojang is, or has been for a some time now, in a situation where they can hire not the number of programmers but the top quality of them in a small amount to get their updates out the door faster.
|Adam Bishop
How much money did EA lose last year? How profitable was Minecraft? I'm not sure EA is the one to be offering business advice here.
|brock w
He had to reinstall windows because his kid screwed up on a mod manager? Either that mod isn't trustworthy, or they don't know crap about using that stuff..
Mojang could possibly teach the industry, but they will refuse to listen, just like what has happened with DRM.
Not sure how I like the gold analogy either, that was a finite resource, not everyone could get some because of that, Indie games are pretty much an INfinite source as long as you can get ideas. And really, it's only smart to make it easy for people to mod it, it gives more life to the game that it wouldn't otherwise have..
|Arne Evertsson
Just wanted to comment on "making Minecraft and its mods and installations something that's a more commercial and predictable product". Let's hope that helping hand doesn't come from Blizzard. Blizzard wants me to remove memory from my computer in order to install Starcraft II.

SS Removing Closing <iframe> Tag From TextField
27 May 2010 at 4:13am
So this doesn't seem to be related to TinyMCE specifically. I know there has been posts on this in the past, but this seems different unless I'm missing something.
I'm trying to embed some Google Map code to a page. I'd prefer to keep it out of the default content field, so I setup my PageType to offer a TextField to copy and paste the code.
I've had this working on older versions of SS, but when setting up a new site with 2.4, when I save/publish the page, it only removes the closing <iframe> tag, not the opening tag.
Here is what my page code looks like:
public static $db = array(
'GoogleMap' => 'HTMLText'
Then in getCMSFields()
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('GoogleMap', 'Google Map Code'), 'Content');
Then in my template for the page type, I have $GoogleMap to display the code.
As I mentioned, I have this exact setup working with a different site in SS 2.3
The reason I'm only using a TextField is that I don't need a large TextArea with the TinyMCE editor taking up so much space in the admin panel.
Any ideas on where this is being stripped out?

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the exact same problem and it's causing another include template to not display since the iframe tag isn't closed off.

No, I just gave up and hard coded it into the template. It wasn't a huge deal as the Google Map code isn't going to change, but I wanted more control for my client in case for some odd reason they wanted to change it.
Definitely strange as unless I'm totally missing something, this exact same code worked in 2.3. I was only under the impression TincMCE strips some stuff in the default checking of code, but any other field is fine and raw. Obviously I'm wrong, but can't sort out where.

Yeah, sucks. This is my first time with SS. Nice but terribly frustrating at the same time.
I've seen some old posts about editing a file that apparently doesn't exist or isn't in the same place on this newer version.
I'll keep searching. Thanks though!

It sounds strange. Maybe a better way is keeping iframe tags hardcoded in the template but keeping the src, width and height inside ss? By the way you can force TinyMCE about not to strip tags with adding the following line to _config.php. It works normal with all other tags but i am not sure about if it will strip iframe.
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('verify_html', 'false');
Or maybe you can use a textareafield with one 1 row =)
new TextareaField(
$name = "description",
$title = "Description",
$rows = 1

I just came across this problem as well. This issue is that HTMLText values are passed through DOMDocument, which collapses tags where they are closed directly after being opened - ie: <iframe ...></iframe> gets converted to <iframe ... /> but the simple fix for this is to just add a space between the tags ie: <iframe ...> </iframe>
It then works

Hmm I'm doing something similar and use $IframeCode.RAW in my template which seems to work well.

Re: SS Removing Closing <iframe> Tag From TextField
27 November 2010 at 8:29am
I'm having this same problem, SS is automatically stripping the closing </iframe> and changing it to a self closing tag - breaking all of my page content that appears after it. Putting a space in before the closing tag works - but I don't want to have to tell my client to do this every time!
Is there a better way or can anyone suggest a solution?
My client wants to be able to embed multiple Vimeo videos onto the pages at various sizes - so he wants to control all the settings through Vimeo (rather than me hard coding the embed code onto the page). I've supplied a HTMLText box in Silverstripe for each Vimeo embed code, which works great except for this issue breaking the codes if a space isn't manually entered.

OKEECHOBEE -- Every Thanksgiving week since 1991, a group of hardy souls from elementary-school age to octogenarians have embarked on a one-of-a-kind, nine-day hiking adventure circling Lake Okeechobee.
And this past holiday was no different.
More than 100 people signed up for all or part of the 2013 Big O Hike, which began Nov. 23 and concluded last Sunday, and was hosted by the Loxahatchee chapter of the Florida Trail Association.
Most walked for just a day or two, but 25 hikers completed the 94-mile route, shortened from the usual 109-mile circle because of ongoing dike work by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They received certificates with a color photo of the lake for their accomplishment.
The hike was a little different because of the dike repairs, coordinator Sandra Friend of Sanford said. We dont want to take people on roadways.
The hike began atop the Herbert Hoover dike at the Port Mayaca locks in Palm Beach County and wound counter-clockwise to finish in Pahokee. To avoid speeding cars and trucks and make up for some of the lost distance, Friend arranged a couple of bonus hikes one on the Florida Trail along the Kissimmee River and another to the Fort Center archeological site beside Fisheating Creek near Lakeport.
But participants spent most of their time following the dikes paved path singly, in pairs and small groups the best way to view one of the countrys largest freshwater bodies of 730 square miles.
Beginning before dawn most days, hikers carried only day packs with basic supplies. Many captured glorious sunrises, panoramic landscapes of sugarcane and cattle lands, soaring birds and swimming gators, at least one unhappy cottonmouth snake, and a tiki hut chicken coop with their cameras. The group usually completed its daily segment by lunchtime and returned to local campgrounds under a car-shuttle system. Off-trail activities included a visit to the Clewiston Museum; daily happy hours at KOA campgrounds in Okeechobee and Clewiston; and a semi-talent show featuring poetry, stand-up comedy, and song and dance following Thanksgiving dinner at the Lodge at the Lake in Okeechobee.
Retirees Paul Cummings of Lake Worth and Gordon Johnson, who now lives at the Villages in north-central Florida, launched the Big O hike and have completed the circle 20 times. This year, they turned over coordination duties to Friend and her significant other, John Keatley, and took things easy, skipping a few segments.
It really is a social event rather than a long hike intended to wear you out and test your endurance, Cummings said. We hope its a fun thing with a little exercise built into it.
Gail Johnson, 62, and her husband, Dan both veteran long-distance trekkers travelled all the way from their home in Pickens, S.C., to join the Big O hike for the first time. The Johnsons previously had backpacked around the lake three times by themselves.
It was fun that way, but a lot of road walking and you had to figure out where you were going to get water, Gail said of the couples previous trips. Its hard to find a good campsite. I wanted to get out of town for the cold weather. It was 22 degrees when we left. I wanted to be out in the sunshine catching UV rays.
Lolly Tharpe, 75, a retired nurse from Sebring, also is a veteran backpacker, completing the Florida Trail from the Big Cypress National Preserve all the way to the Panhandle; the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine; and the Camino de Santiago in France and Spain all in the past 15 years. She embarked on the Lake O hike with two friends. When they left early, Tharpe stuck it out to completion.
Ive never been around Lake Okeechobee, Tharpe said. Its a nice hike. Youre camping. Its sociable. People are friendly.
For several hikers, spending the Thanksgiving holiday walking around all or part of the big lake is an annual event that they hope to repeat next year. But Cummings said the future of the event is in doubt since Friend and Keatley are unable to continue as coordinators.
Next year, we dont know whats going to happen, Cummings said. Unless we can find someone to pass it on to, we might have to take a little break.

ARLINGTON, TX—Colby Lewis had to wait more than six years between major league wins.
Lewis allowed one run and five hits in seven innings to lead the Texas Rangers over the Mariners 6-2 Friday night to send skidding Seattle to its fourth straight loss.
Barry Zito at Oakland on April 7, 2004.
"It's definitely a confidence-builder first time back, yeah," Lewis said. "You always want to go out and do well. I just wanted to go out and keep doing what I've been doing the last couple of years and throw strikes. That's the key that we always talk about every day."
Lewis began his career with Texas from 2002-04, had shoulder problems and was waived. He moved on to Detroit and Oakland, then spent the past two seasons with Hiroshima of Japan's Central League, where he went 26-17 with a 2.82 ERA in 55 games. He re-signed with the Rangers on Jan. 19 and made his first major league start since May 22, 2007, for the Athletics.
Lewis admitted he was tentative in the first few innings, but his confidence grew.
"I felt like I was a little timid until I got mad at myself really, and told myself to do what I've been doing and everything panned out," Lewis said.
Trailing 5-1, the Mariners loaded the bases with one out in the seventh, but Lewis struck out Jack Wilson and retired Ichiro Suzuki on a groundout.
"Anytime a pitcher gets into trouble like that and he gets out of it, it's outstanding," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "I thought he gave us exactly what we needed to keep us in the ballgame and give us a chance."
Seattle had hoped for a quick start after making some big offseason additions, but at 1-4 the Mariners are off to their worst opening since dropping their first five games in 2004.
The Mariners, hitting .199 as a team, were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
"The whole game boiled down to what's happened the last five games, which is lack of offense and lack of situational hitting," Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu said. "These guys are going to hit at some point and we hope it's soon."
Nelson Cruz homered for the third time in four games, had three hits and drove in a pair of runs for the Rangers, who evened their record at 2-2. Vladimir Guerrero keyed a four-run sixth with an RBI double. He has had multiple hits in each of Texas' four games, a first for a Rangers newcomer.
The Rangers entered the night with a team batting average of .168. Cruz and Guerrero were the only Texas hitters who were hot.
This time, Guerrero (.600) and Cruz (.500) got some help as the Rangers finished with 12 hits.
"Right now it's their time," said Texas' Michael Young, who went 2 for 4. "It was nice to see the rest of the guys break out."
Jason Vargas (0-1) gave up five runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings for the Mariners. Casey Kotchman homered for Seattle.
Kotchman's RBI groundout put Seattle ahead in the first following Suzuki's leadoff double, and Cruz's homered tied the score in the fourth.
Josh Hamilton walked in the sixth and scored on Guerrero's double for a 2-1 lead. Cruz followed with an RBI single, Joaquin Arias singled off Shawn Kelley for a 4-1 lead and Elvis Andrus added an RBI single. Hamilton made it 6-1 with an RBI double in the seventh.
Kotchman homered in the eighth against Chris Ray.
Former Ranger Milton Bradley went 0 for 4 for the Mariners and is hitting .059 on the season. After popping out in the eighth, he glared for about 10 seconds at fans who were jeering him behind the visitor's dugout.
When he was asked if he knew about Bradley flipping off fans down the left field line after making a catch in the fourth, Wakamatsu declined comment.
Bradley was wearing headphones after the game and did not speak to reporters.

WASHINGTON—The House Republican prosecutors and White House lawyers turned the impeachment trial over to the Senate jury yesterday, after prosecutors implored senators to rise above their political interests, ignore White House "spin" and remove President Clinton from office.
But Charles F. C. Ruff, the White House counsel, warned that a conviction of the president would rip a hole in the constitutional fabric that has clothed American society and will clothe future generations for "millennia to come."
"We cannot leave even the smallest flaw in that fabric," Ruff said, "for if we do, one day someone will come along and pull a thread, and the flaw will grow and soon the entire cloth will begin to unravel."
After 5 1/2 hours of often repetitive closing arguments from the prosecutors and the White House, senators were left to deliberate the fate of the president, with the only real suspense being how far the prosecutors will fall short in seeking 67 votes for conviction on either of two articles of impeachment.
Rep. Henry J. Hyde, the lead House prosecutor, dashed off a letter to Senate leaders, asking them to call three more witnesses to testify to whether Sidney Blumenthal, a senior White House aide, lied under oath last week. In his testimony to the prosecutors, Blumenthal denied giving journalists details from conversations he had had with Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky story broke. But two journalists have submitted sworn affidavits that Blumenthal told them Lewinsky was a "stalker," a term Clinton had used in those private conversations.
Senators are showing little appetite for prolonging the trial "another two minutes," as a Republican leadership aide put it. Even a bipartisan effort to censure Clinton after his expected acquittal appears to be faltering in the face of conservative Republican opposition and a rush toward closure this week.
The Senate will vote today on whether its final deliberations should be held in public. It appears unlikely that a motion to change the Senate rules to open up the deliberations will garner the necessary 67 votes for passage. A final vote to convict or acquit Clinton, for perjury and obstruction of justice arising from the Lewinsky scandal, will come by Friday, and perhaps as early as Thursday.
"We are blessedly coming to the end of this melancholy procedure," Hyde, of Illinois, acknowledged as he began the last of 13 closing statements delivered by each member of the prosecution team.
The prosecutors concluded yesterday with pleas that were at times passionate, at times weary, at times bordering on self-pity and at times seething with frustration and anger. Hyde called the impeachment saga a battle in the nation's "culture war." Another prosecutor, Rep. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, his voice dripping with indignation, spoke of a nation in "hopeless decline." Another, Rep. Chris Cannon of Utah, said it appeared to him "the fix was in."
"I wonder if after this culture war is over that we're engaged in, if an America will survive that's worth fighting to defend," Hyde said. "People won't risk their lives for the U.N. or over the Dow Jones averages. But I wonder in future generations whether there'll be enough vitality left in duty, honor and country to excite our children and grandchildren to defend America."
The prosecutors recognize that they cannot produce the two-thirds Senate majority needed to remove a president for the first time. They have lowered their sights on obtaining a 51-vote majority, the threshold that Hyde said would legitimize the House's vote in December to impeach Clinton. Many Republicans acknowledge that that simple majority could be in jeopardy, though Senate Republicans hold a 55-45 edge over Democrats.
Since last week, Republican senators have openly raised the prospect of at least a half-dozen Republicans joining all 45 Democrats to vote against a conviction for perjury. Yesterday, some began questioning whether the obstruction of justice charge, which had been considered stronger, can garner a simple majority of senators, either.
The obstruction of justice charge "is like this garbage can that picks up so much of the garbage in this case," said Republican Sen. Gordon Smith of Oregon, who had formerly indicated he would probably vote for the obstruction charge.
While a parade of House prosecutors used nearly all their allotted three hours, just one of the president's lawyers, Ruff, spoke yesterday. Consuming just over half his given time, the White House counsel coolly and methodically disputed each of the charges, which he dismissed as "moving targets and empty pots."
Nearly a month ago, when he opened the president's defense, Ruff had called the charges empty vessels. But he said yesterday that that characterization struck him as overly flattering, since a vessel might have "the capacity to float."
Few, if any, new arguments emerged as the cases were brought to a close. Though he had fought to keep videotaped depositions out of the trial, Ruff made much more use of them yesterday than did the prosecutors who had conducted the interviews.
Ruff raised some new challenges. He used the statements of a prosecutor, Rep. James E. Rogan of California, on a cable news show to try to undermine the perjury charge that Rogan had argued for.
Another prosecutor, Rep. Bill McCollum of Florida, suggested last month that Clinton had examined about 15 drafts of an affidavit Lewinsky gave in which she denied having had a sexual relationship with the president. But Ruff showed that the prosecutors had quietly acknowledged to the Senate that no such drafts existed.
The prosecutors had also submitted an affidavit from a clerk in the court of the judge in the Paula Jones lawsuit, stating, as prosecutors put it, that the president was "listening attentively" as his lawyer in that case, Robert S. Bennett, said there had been no sex of any kind between Clinton and Lewinsky. The prosecutors contended that this was proof of both perjury and obstruction, since Clinton had denied paying attention as Bennett made that statement and did nothing to correct him.

Lots of talk about resoling on these boards lately. Is it worth it? I always end up paying for rand repair so it ends up costing 40 plus with shipping and everything. Even with a good resole the shoes rarely climb the same and the non rubber parts of the shoes can start breaking down with age and then there inevitable stretch and sloppiness. Sometimes I wonder whether or not it is best to just buy new, cheap shoes more often. Not exactly a green approach though. Thoughts? Jim
If climbing in cheap shoes works for you, that's fine. When I get a pair of shoes I like (not cheap), I want to keep using them. Once I get them resoled, they're a little tighter for a while, but then they stretch back to their old feel. And resoling is way cheaper than buying another pair of climbing shoes, for me.
To me it's worth it. I just threw out my first pair of TC Pros after about 3 years, many resoles, and some Shoe Goo. They were pretty stretched out by the time I threw them away, but I don't climb any better in my new ones.
Yes, yes it is. You have to be a little diligent about getting them fixed before you get into the rand, but if you have the number for Rock and Resole, they do an incredible job. Supposedly some guy named Locker on here does a pretty good job as well. Positive Resoles is the name of his outfit. If you like expensive shoes, which I do, resoling is the way to go.
absolutely! even if you bust through the rand a little bit it's worth it. I got two pairs at the same time resoled and it was around $100 all said and done. I was kinda bummed that it was so much then just today i realized how many pitches i've done in just the first pair. Pair #2 is still sittin in the closet...waiting to send!
I've now spent a month without my shoes, which is okay but the guys at cascade arent returning my emails or calls, IF i get my shoes back they better be flawless, otherwise i think i'll save myself the frustration, and just suck it up and buy new.
Cascade Cobbler www.cascadecobbler.com
Do people find that resoled shoes climb the same? Maybe its in my head. Jim
i find the shoes stretch 1/2 a size ... on the other hand the resoles last longer than new sportivas i size my shoes initially for sport, and after the first resole they become trad shoes ... i dont bother resoling them more than once, as i find they get funky and too soft by the second resole is it worth it? .... for a $$$$ shoe like the miura, yes ... for anything that costs ~100 smackaroos, no IMO but then resoles up here costs 60$+
I love my resoles and usually resole a few times at least. Then again I just drop them off and pick them up so it's cheap and easy compared to new shoes.
I have wondered if resoling was worth it for a long time and tried to have a pair of TC pros resoled last year. I decided to try yosimitebum for the resole and they really did a poor job. The reshaped the shoes into a down turned shoe which compressed my toe nails and made the shoes unwearable and replaced the rands which really did not need to be replaced. So now what? I am already into the process for $45 for the resole $10 for their shipping cost and another $10 for my shipping costs. That is $65 for a pair of unusable shoes. Should I pay another $10 to ship them back and get them to fix their work? Do I have confidence they can fix their work? Do I have confidence that any vendor is not going to do a poor job? I decided to cut my looses, learn my lesson and bought new. There is no way resoling makes sense for cheap shoes. Perhaps if I lived near a resoler and did not have to pay shipping and could check the work before paying?
Order some Flat Rate PADDED Envelops from USPS (it's free to order them). I use size 11/12 shoes and they fit inside perfectly but only costs ~$5.70 to ship whatever fits. That should at least save you a couple bucks!
weak sauce abusing bc like that.
hows it abuse. Clearly one cannot be satisfied with a product that no longer functions.
My first pair of Miuras are on their 3rd resole and my second pair is now on their 1st resole. They'll probably need another resole in another couple months, and I won't hesitate. Worst-case scenario a resole is about $50 (though about half that if you don't need the rand) while MSRP on Miuras is $160 right now. It's a pretty significant savings. As for performance, I guess I've never really done a new vs resoled comparison, but I've never gotten them back and thought "wow, these aren't very good". I get them done through Rock and Resole in Boulder and they come back fitting basically the same as when I sent them. They also glue up any delamination that La Sportiva shoes have problems with from the factory. If the cheap shoes work for you then go ahead, but I'd much rather find a pair of shoes that I LOVE and resole them until they fall apart.
Hell yes its worth it!!! I currently use Sportiva Testarossa's which for some reason have jumped WAY! up in price in the last year; last I saw they retail at $175 a pair. I get my shoes done at Rock and Resole usually send in about 6 pairs at a time. I think last time I did this it cost me around $120 including shipping back. Thats only $20 per pair. Rock and Resole does an amazing job, they get the downturn/cup thingy perfect, they are just like factory new ones. You do the math $175 per pair or $20 per pair. When you go through shoes every 3 months it starts to add up really quick.
I'm realize I am really in the minority here but . . . Some of the numbers being thrown around are a little skewed. What climber pays MSRP!? And when I say cheap shoes I mean shoes bought on the cheap not crappy shoes. With a little looking I just bought a pair of verde's new for 80 bucks. A good deal certainly but one you can find if you keep your eye out. If you can get a good shoe for 80 bucks, is it worth it to get it resoled for 40+? I think it really depends on the shoe and what you plan to do with it. JIm
If your shoes take a month or more to really break in and get comfortable with, then hell yeah they're worth it to resole.
Yes resoling is worth it but I understand your reservations. I resoled a pair of LS Taos probably 18 years ago and got them back to find the sick pointed toe was round and clumsy. Not sure which company this was. A few years ago I sent in my favorite shoes some slip-on Scarpas to Yosemite Bums. I was told they would last two weeks with a resole they were so worn. Only recently did I resole again, this time successfully with Rock n Resole. As advised by Yosemite Bums I sent my LS Testarossas in before the rand got messed up. Rock n Resole did an excellent job retaining down turn and pointed toe without touching rand. They are still super tight and perform great. I will resole again.

Russell looking to achieve goals at CSC Library
Longtime Scottsbluff library director Bev Russell is hoping to achieve several goals before ending her contract in June as the interim director of the Chadron State College library. Russell, who retired at the end of 2011, filled the vacancy created by the death last August of Milton Wolf.
Russell has three goals at CSC: make the learning commons concept a reality both in the building and online, see the library through an assessment by the Association of College and Research Libraries that will be used to create a strategic plan for the library, and make the library more user-friendly for students.
Russell says she wants to have a new IT help desk by spring, a move of the curriculum library into the library's computer lab, and relocate the faculty Teaching and Learning Center to the library. She is also looking forward to the opening of a new coffee shop in the library area before she leaves.
When she is fully retired, Russell plans to continue her work as pastor of the Melbeta United Methodist Church and write a book that will feature Panhandle buildings of yesteryear now standing in various states of disrepair.

En español | Social Security has an earnings limit that can reduce early retirement benefits – benefits that a person begins before reaching full retirement age.
For every $2 earned above the annual limit, $15,120 for 2013, Social Security withholds $1 in benefits. (A different formula applies for the year that the person reaches full retirement age.) Earnings made as an employee, net earnings from self-employment, bonuses and awards are among the things that count in calculating the person's income.
But Social Security will not count other kinds of income, including income from rental properties. Other exempt income includes lawsuit payments, inheritances, pensions, investment dividends, IRA distributions and interest. The limit goes away after full retirement age – the person is free to earn unlimited amounts without any effect on benefits.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
This limited participation tour gives you a true picture of local life in this charming seaside city.
Your tour begins with a scenic coach drive along the eastern bank of Xiamen but before long, you will stop and leave your coach behind, transferring to your next mode of transportation, a bicycle! Climbing aboard your bike, you will set-off on a 40-minute cycling tour along the Island Ring Road, enjoying the fresh air and Xiamen's celebrated sea view.
After pedaling your way to Seacoast Square, you will next participate in a traditional Tai Chi class. Tai Chi is an ancient form of exercise originating from the unusual combination of self-defense and Taoism. Its slow, continuous movements create a harmony between the inner and outer body. Tai Chi features both the hard and soft martial art techniques and has been celebrated through generations of Chinese for its contribution toward human health and longevity. You will begin by observing a demonstration by the Chinese Tai Chi master and then be given the opportunity to learn the basic moves yourself.
Re-joining your coach, you will continue your tour by driving to a tea house and participating in a traditional tea ceremony. The art of drinking and serving tea plays a major cultural role in China. The Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes what the tea tastes like and smells like and each step is meant to be a sensory exploration and appreciation. During your visit, you will be treated to Tie Guan Yin, a premium variety of Chinese oolong tea boasting a very flowery, delicate aroma. You will also be served some vegetarian pie from Nanputuo Temple, which is the local dessert that best harmonizes with the tea's aroma.
Lastly, your tour travels through the old town area of Xiamen where the main street is filled with shops of all kinds, both old and new. Many of the quaint side streets here remain the same as they were decades ago. A leisurely stroll through this colorful and bustling center allows you to fully soak in the atmosphere that characterizes Xiamen before returning to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes a limited amount of walking; however, it does involve a 40-minute bicycle ride. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Participants should be in good physical condition. Weather appropriate casual clothing; sun cap; sunglasses and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

"The Cantu Comedy Club"
Get your laugh on each 3rd Sunday night
of the month,
Welcome to LaughLovers.org — We are a specialty Toastmasters club formed in honor of the late John Cantu.
Our focus: adding more humor to our speeches, stories and lives.
This is not your father's Toastmasters Club. We feature "headliners" -- professional speakers, comedians, storytellers or humorists -- who give a guest presentation each month at the Club. It's our opportunity to see how the pros do it and ask them questions about how to create, craft and deliver their material. Then members perform, to practice skills and get supportive feedback from the group.
We meet once a month on the third Sunday of the month, 6pm - 8pm, St. Paul's Towers (100 Bay Place), Oakland, CA.
So come and join us — the laugh's on us!
Meanwhile, persue our website, read articles, listen to audio and video files and support the headliners who generously give their time and expertise to Toastmasters.

FORT MILL — A Fort Mill Democrat is banking on moderate voters tired of what he calls dysfunction in Congress to win over a Republican stronghold in this years Fifth Congressional District election.
Fort Mill Town Councilman Tom Adams has filed to run against Republican incumbent Mick Mulvaney of Indian Land in the district that includes York, Chester and Lancaster counties.
Mulvaney, who defeated longtime Democrat John Spratt in 2010, said he plans to seek a third term. If re-elected, Mulvaney said he would push issues like continued job growth, spending cuts and health care reform as well as smaller issues that specifically affect his constituency such as government regulation of community banks and credit unions.
Adams, who manages an automotive dealership, filed with the state Elections Commission last week. He is running a pro-business campaign that emphasizes compromise and coalition. The filing period closes Sunday.
You have to build coalitions and build relationships with your colleagues, Adams said of his current position representing Ward 4 in Fort Mill. That means you dont always get things your way.
The 55-year-old councilman said the same principles apply to Congress. We cannot kick the art of compromise to the curb, Adams said, adding that conservative tea party members dont want to compromise.
As a Congressman, Adams said he would focus on tax and regulation reform geared toward making the U.S. more business-friendly. Hes also a supporter of strengthening the military and providing greater support for veterans.
All of those issues, plus Adams promise to reach across party lines, have similarly been espoused by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who is facing several primary challengers this June.
Theyre afraid theyre going to be branded a RINO and voted out of the party, Adams said of todays Republican candidates, referring to the term Republican in Name Only, which denotes GOP candidates who are politically moderate or liberal. We need to have somebody that doesnt have that threat hanging above their head.
But Adams admitted that winning the Congressional district, which includes a strong tea party presence in York County, will be tough. Its no secret this is a very conservative area, but Im an extremely moderate guy, Adams said.
The candidate said he began seriously considering a run when his wife died a few years ago after a battle with an autoimmune disease. Adams is a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Fort Mill and has three grown children including a daughter who attends Winthrop University.
Adams said raising enough campaign funds and generating name recognition to match Mulvaneys will be a big hurdle but that he is better suited to represent the regions needs.
His voting record is in lockstep with the tea party, Adams said of Mulvaney. Theres a lot more people in this district than the tea party.
The Incumbency Advantage
Mulvaney boasts more political experience than Adams, including terms in both the S.C. House and Senate.
He reported having more than $222,000 of cash on hand for his re-election bid at the end of 2013, according to the Federal Election Commission.
During local town halls organized by his office, Mulvaney has been outspoken about his opposition to the federal Affordable Care Act and the Congressional stalemate between Republicans and Democrats that culminated in a 16-day government shutdown in October.
I got elected first and foremost to help stop some of the things happening in the country, Mulvaney said, including the federal bailout and the Affordable Care Act.
He said he doesnt agree that the tea party is a group that only supports candidates who dont compromise. Mulvaney said he often visits groups outside his base of support such as the NAACP or local Hispanic voters.
I take my job as a representative very seriously, said Mulvaney. I go to see a lot of groups that dont necessarily like me. But, he added, that doesnt mean Im going to vote in a way that makes everybody happy all the time.
As a congressman, he has been outspoken about cutting the federal budget, often appearing on national news networks.
A lawyer, Mulvaney, 46, has owned a small home-building company and a restaurant. He and his wife, Pamela, are the parents of triplets. He has been a member of St. Philip Neri Catholic Church in Fort Mill and a founding member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Mission, according to his congressional website.

Pope Francis sent a special video message to the event in Turin's cathedral, but made no claim that the image on the shroud of a man with wounds similar to those suffered by Christ was really that of Jesus. He called the cloth an "icon," not a relic -- an important distinction.
"This image, impressed upon the cloth, speaks to our heart and moves us to climb the hill of Calvary, to look upon the wood of the Cross, and to immerse ourselves in the eloquent silence of love," he said.
"This disfigured face resembles all those faces of men and women marred by a life which does not respect their dignity, by war and violence which afflict the weakest," he said. "And yet, at the same time, the face in the Shroud conveys a great peace; this tortured body expresses a sovereign majesty."
Many experts stand by carbon-dating of scraps of the cloth that date it to the 13th or 14th century. However, some have suggested the dating results might have been skewed by contamination and have called for a larger sample to be analyzed.
The Vatican has tiptoed around just what the cloth is, calling it a powerful symbol of Christ's suffering while making no claim to its authenticity.
The 14-foot-long, 3.5-foot-wide cloth is kept in a bulletproof, climate-controlled case in Turin's cathedral, but is only rarely open to the public. The last time was in 2010 when more than 2 million people lined up to pray before it and then-Pope Benedict XVI visited.
The latest display coincided with Holy Saturday, when Catholics mark the period between Christ's crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Re: ? On Tablet computers
My wife highly recommends the Kindle Fire. Hers was $199, now $150. She just picked up another for our daughter in high school for Xmas. If you are familiar with the Android cell phone operating system platform, the kindle uses the same system
The Kindle Fire HD is $199 and has more features. I've only messed with it long enough to set the WiFi up, but she has her nose in that thing for h o u r s between charges, which is something I can appreciate in a hand held device.
Re: ? On Tablet computers
We have been thinking about tablets as well. So far for me the Kindle Fire HD seems to make the most sense and is affordable. We already have the Kindles and love em, I use mine every day at least a half dozen times. If we do go for a tablet I think it will be the Fire HD.

go to Walmart.com, and do a search for double power tablet. I just bought the 9 inch one, and have only had it a couple days, but am pretty happy with it. I am not a computer addict, so it may have some shortcomings others do not like though.

Re: ? On Tablet computers
My problem is the Tablet computers' /IPad /smart phones type devices don't have the programs and speed I need to perform my calculations. I extensively use Excel, Word and PowerPoint programs and have no choice but to sit down at a desk with a desktop or in truck with a laptop to do PC calculations.
I do know of a person that carries their external hard drive with them that has all the programs on it. He plugs it into other devices that accepts an USB connection, but I don't think many of the new type mobile devises have an USB connection.
The other day I was setting with a person trying to make graphs with an IPad and pushed it aside to use my laptop.
If you only need a device only for simple things I think a Tablet computer would be great.
....Hope it's understandable now.....
I'm really good at doing nothing…With that said…I'm really, really good at doing nothing

Thuggy moves right off the ground lead past 3 bolts to a shelf and some underclings. Rest up here as much as possible. Continue past a couple more bolts on smaller holds to a difficult move getting established in a pair of pockets and a big throw out of them to a jug. Move up the series of jugs past another bolt. Make a long reach out left from the highest jug to clip, call it good for "Short on Dope" 5.12+, or bust the V6 boulder problem moving out left to another jug and clip, then up on flat holds to an undercling and the last bolt/anchor. Recommend not clipping this and instead lowering off the previous bolt as it will be hard on your rope.
There are 2 main cave features and this route starts on the prow that sticks out between them off of a couple of pretty big stacked blocks. The route starts out by heading out and right for a few bolts then more straight out and finally to the left at the end.
Bolts with fixed chain draws. Color coded with green tape. Stick clip recommended for first clip.
