I've sat here for a few days trying to come up with a clever or interesting way to sum up how I feel about "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" but I just can't muster anything. Although, I suppose that's a bit fitting considering Kenneth Branagh's latest film feels equally without a voice.
I don't think there's a single element found in Paramount's re-introduction of the late Tom Clancy's most prolific character that doesn't feel like it was pulled straight from a bag of various action movie clichďż©s. Dastardly Russians out to make the United States pay? Check. Ticking time bombs? Check. A guy works for the CIA and must lie to his wife/girlfriend to keep his cover at the risk of destroying their relationship? Check. A hero who, seemingly at the flip of a switch, goes from desperate underdog barely capable of staying alive to being a step or two below James Bond? Check and check.
What's doubly frustrating is that Jack Ryan (at least in his earliest incarnations) was a terrific everyman character, a lowly CIA analyst who kept finding himself caught in the middle of increasingly bigger scenarios. He was like a brainier version of John McClane, relying entirely on his wits instead of his ability to shoot a gun or throw a punch.
At the end of John McTiernan's "The Hunt for Red October" (one of my all-time favorite films and still the best adaptation of a Clancy novel) when Alec Baldwin's version of Ryan pulls the trigger to stop a KGB agent from blowing up the submarine, it's seen as a climactic bit of a-typical action. By the end of "Shadow Recruit," Chris Pine's Ryan has gone (with not even the slightest bit of incremental progression) from a guy whose hands shake uncontrollably after he's killed a man to tearing around Moscow and New York City on motorcycles and BMW's like he's James Bond.
That James Bond comparison is one that constantly came to mind throughout the course of this film's mercifully brief runtime. This feels much more like Paramount's effort to reboot Jack Ryan into its own American Bond than anything that largely resembles the Clancy character.
Given that "Shadow Recruit" doesn't provide a faithful presentation of the character, I suppose it would be possible to simply take this as an action-thriller on its own merits. At least, that would be the ideal route and it might have even been possible had any of its elements really stuck out in any significant way.
Chris Pine has the potential to be a very fun, charismatic leading man and he's shown in the past that he's willing to take on some unflattering characters if it's a fun role (a la his hilariously deranged role in "Smokin' Aces"), but there's just nothing here that shows why he's started to grab the attention of filmmakers. The Ryan he's given to play is one that has little to truly define him beyond some fairly rote characteristics.
Keira Knightly is wasted as Cathy, Jack's fiancďż©e who gets thrown into the middle of his operation because she came nosing around his "business trip." Never mind the baffling decision to have Knightly, a British actress, don a terrible American accent despite Clancy originally writing the character as British.
Costner is fine but, again, is mostly wasted. He's Jack's handler and mostly serves to spout off exposition and move Jack from point A to point B. Were it anyone other than Costner in the part it'd be the most invisible role in the film.
Branagh is the only one who seems to really be having any sort of fun as the Russian businessman whose machinations set the whole plot in motion. If there's a way to go over-the-top with playing a stoic Russian, then Branagh's found it.
And speaking of Branagh, can we bar him from ever directing an action movie again? I thoroughly enjoy his Shakespeare adaptations, but between this and "Thor" he's shown he's simply got no eye for how good action should be shot and cut. His work here is especially poor as he, like far too many inept action directors before him, has no clue how to establish a sense of geography in his action or how to shoot it clearly and cleanly, falling back on the now useless "shaky cam" technique that has become the bane of my existence since Paul Greengrass first made it popular a decade ago.
More than anything, though, I'm just baffled as to why Paramount insisted on trying to push Jack Ryan as an action hero and kick-start a new franchise. I know Clancy's name still carries weight, but does the studio really think audiences care enough about the character to keep coming back? The dreadful opening weekend for this suggests not.

It is with much regret that the following logic will not only shock 99.9% of CasualHoya nation but it will also spurn a flurry of idiotic responses.
JT3 and the Thompson family are holding the Hoyas back.
-We get good/great recruits
-We have plenty of funding
-We have (had) excellent draw with the Verizon center and national attention withinthe Big East for the last 10 years
-We have solid assistant coaches
-There is plenty of support from fans, alumni, and fund raisers
So whats the problem?
1) Our offense – It was great for a makeshift team. Think back to the Rivers/Hibbert/Darrel Owens days. Those guys were not 5, 4, or even 3 star kids. That offense fooled enough undisciplined teams to get us the right amount of wins to enter the NCAA Tourney. Tie that success in with the University name and the Thompson (JT2) connection to the NBA, and here comes Jeff Green and better prospects. Running our current offense is like telling a NFL team what play is coming next. Unless we dominate our opponent (not going to happen this year), our slow-motion offense will hold athletic Hoya players back - a possible reason high school prospects (Nerlens Noel) shy away from the hilltop. Has anyone noticed that we can't come back from a 10 pt deficit with 7 minutes +/- remaining? We have a stable of 6' 9" McDonald's all american athletes and high flyers that can dunk, alley opp, and with flashes of talent to look a like Kentucky/ Memphis. The offense tricks terrible defenses, eats the clock to make us appear to have a stellar defense (low opponents PPG), and grants just enough wins to get us into the tournament. Notice how other, terrible teams have figured us out and we keep loosing in the first/second round!!?? @BigWill627 has the right idea – we are not an ivy league team (anymore). Watching mid major (Butler) and unknown teams (Florida Golf Coast) enter and dominate the tournament shows one thing - success comes from running an offense that exposes the best talents of your team and exposing your opponent's weakness. JT3 needs to adapt his offense or go. A more physical defense won't hurt either.
2) $$$ – Think of this from JT3's perspective. He has/ wants to continue making big $, have job security and coach basketball. A real dream job – I'll take it. However people fail to see that he is a mediocre coach. He is winning just enough to keep Hoya fans wet with potential but always lets us down in Tournament play, big games (Kansas), and now even smaller match ups against teams like Elon. While statistics like multiple NCAA appearances are nice on a resume, you have to read in between the lines to really see that we have not business in the NCAA tournament and surely cannot win the NIT with any of our last 5-6 teams. JT2 also appears to be an adviser to the Hoyas (attends many practices, games, and events) and the team's conduit the the NBA. That Thompson family is milking an 80s-90s era backed with one successful Princeton offensive season with Geoff Green. JT3 has blinded us with his name, 2 good seasons, and regular NCAA appearances. Until ticket sales drop, and they currently are, JT3 will be riding high for a long time with little to show in March.
3) Us, the fans. We love the story – "Envy our past, fear our future" – That phrase is on the back of my WE ARE GEORGETOWN t-shirt and I can't tell you how many times people have laughed at my face. Until we, the fans, expect more from our teams, we will remain complacent with a mediocre offense, a mediocre coach, a team in a dying conference, and a program that is just one step ahead of the Craig Esherick era. Yep, I went there. We are still 5 steps behind Louisville, Syracuse, Michigan State, ...the list goes on.
Running that joke of an offense will hold back players and win just enough games for Hoya fans to extend JT3s contract. Don't get me wrong. It could be and ideal program for the right players or offense. It's great for developing average players and teaching them how to pass. Developing an alternative (ACC-style) offense in addition to the motion offense will shake things up, keep teams on their toes, actually allow us to pull away with huge wins, and come back in the final minutes. It can keep the Thomson family's wallets fat, reclaim their prestige, continue the informal NBA courting process with JT2, and bring HOYA nation another step closer to consecutive sweet 16 appearances.
Happy HOYA SAXA holidays,
Dorsey, from Yates.

The Miami Heat have a tendency to sometimes forget to do what most commentators call "the little things." You know, the basket cuts to occupy the defense, the screens to keep things moving, that kind of stuff.
That's why they have to be thrilled that LeBron James set an unbelievable screen in transition to free Shane Battier for a three-pointer and a 13-point Heat lead midway through the second quarter. The Heat's starts are great, but they often forget the importance of these selfless plays. That James took the time to do it shows how locked in he is.

Illinois' Ag–industry brings in more than 9 billion dollars annually.
But, wet winter and recent cold weather has delayed planting season for area farmers.
News 25's Jenny Li shows us area farmers are now working feverishly to get to their unplanted fields.
The soil is finally dry and firm enough for farmers to get their seen into it.
Farmers like Jacob Streitmatter have been waiting patiently for this time to come. "In the past we've always tried to get the corn in the ground by April, normally in the years past we're done today."
Farmers have until May 10th to complete planting and still have successful yields. But many of them would rather be done by now...and they'll work until dark to get as much done as they can.
Kurt Ehnle said, "This is not an 8–5 job. It's a 5–10 job, and that's 5am–10pm. After we get the crop in we'll relax."
Technology aids farmers in planting in the dark. They use GPS systems and auto–steer– which works like an automatic pilot– to make sure they plant straight. Straight lines are no longer a problem, a weather...well, that's a little more unpredictable.
Ehnle said, "You're working with Mother Nature all year long. They're always planting, they're always a harvest. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's not so good, but you put the seed in the ground and you're hopeful you'll have a harvest."
Only about two percent of the cornfields in Peoria County are planted.

BLACKFOOT — With the game tied 14-14 a little more than a minute left in the game Blackfoot sophomore quarterback Pacen Hayes had 85 yards standing between himself and a potential game-winning touchdown.
Hayes calmly marched the Broncos down the field completing three passes the last being a 26-yard touchdown pass to Matt Peterson to give the Broncos a 20-14 win over Hillcrest to kick-off the 2014 season.
The final drive led by Hayes was helped out by a pair of Knights penalties and some solid blocking by the Broncos offensive line.
FIRTH — With the dawn of a new season there is always nerves for both players and coaches.
But for second year head coach Trevor Clayson and the Firth girls soccer team the start of the 2014 season is a chance to get the programs first win in over year.
Standing in front of the Cougars and that first win Thursday afternoon was the defending 3A District 5 champ Marsh Valley Eagles.
It was't the start the Cougars had hoped for as the Eagles scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of the game on the way to a 5-1 victory.
IONA — New Blackfoot girls soccer coach Ramon Sanchez took his young Lady Broncos squad on the road for the first time on Tuesday at the ladies traveled to take on former district opponent Bonneville.
After playing to a hard fought draw with Idaho Falls in the rain in wind on Saturday, the Broncos got a taste of a warm day and sunny skies.
Sanchez learned quickly about how difficult being a coach can be as fatigue, injuries and a very tough and physical game gave the new head coach all he could handle.
IDAHO FALLS — Heading into Saturday's season opener Blackfoot boys head soccer coach Liam Pope knew his young squad was going to suffer some early season going pains.
After losing 13 of the 16 players on the 2013 varsity roster Pope and the young Broncos took to the field of the Idaho Falls Soccer Complex to take on a veteran Idaho Falls team on a cold and rainy morning.
Things did not start well for the Broncos as most of the opening 20 minutes was pent in the Broncos end as the aggressive and upperclassmen laden Tigers squad put the pressure on.

(Sorry about the lack of paragraphs. Here's my revision which should be easier to read.)
I feel uncomfortable reading these posts saying that if we don't win so many games within such and such a period of time we're going to increase the pressure and at some point start talking about getting a new coaching staff. Something doesn't add up here. Do you think we need a better offensive coordinator than Norm Chow? But wait isn't he considered the best offensive coordinator in the history of college football? But what about a new quarterbacks coach? Oh yeah that's Norm Chow too the most successful quarterbacks coach in the history of college football with, what is it, three or four Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks to his credit. Are his methods obsolete or has he lost his touch? I don't think so. Has the game changed so much in the few years since he was at USC? And CRN also has a proven record of success. In addition they're both highly proven offensive coaches, and that's where the main problem lies.
I think the problem is twofold. First there is a lack of experience and maybe talent on the offensive side of the ball. The offensive line was a huge problem last year and still has a long way to go. Is there such a thing as a good consistent rushing offense with a weak offensive line playing against tough opposition? Is it possible to have a highly productive passing offense when the quarterback is constantly feeling pressured and rushed to throw (and also has no division I experience)?
The other problem is our schedule given the current strength of our conference. That's what I think a lot of people are missing. We are playing top 25 calibre teams with high powered offenses every week in our conference. Just look at what happened to Cal ranked #6 in the country who got annihilated two straight weeks in our conference. Why has Kansas St. apparently improved while we haven't? Because they are playing Colorado and Iowa St. while we are playing Oregon and Arizona.
The same can be said for Tennessee a good defensive team playing in a conference with lackluster offenses. Frankly I'd rather be playing Alabama next week than Oregon St. They couldn't even score a touchdown against Tennessee playing at home. Even we scored a touchdown on Tennessee. Our defense could really limit Alabama's weak offense just like they did with Tennessee and with some good field position through turnovers and our excellent punter we'd have a chance to win it on Kai Forbath's leg. Instead we have to play a team that just scored 36 points on USC's defense which means that we are going to have to have a greatly improved offensive production to have a chance to win which is difficult for us with our current team.
I can't remember ever seeing the Pac 10 this strong from top to bottom. Even Washington St. isn't that bad. They were respectable against USC and gained over 400 yards yesterday against Cal. And Washington who is in the bottom tier of the conference was good enough to beat USC and almost beat LSU. Next year's schedule will be one of the most difficult in the country given our out of conference schedule. And also the other programs in our conference are on the upswing particularly Washington, Arizona, and Stanford.
We have to have realistic expectations which takes this into account. And I think a lot of people on this website are not taking it into account. If we would have entered conference play this year against the teams from last year we would have had two sure wins against the Washington schools with a very good chance to win against weaker than this year Arizona St. and Stanford teams. We would have likely wound up with 6-8 wins. Comparing our record to last year and demanding it be improved by so many wins fails to take into account the marked improvement in our conference. We need to be patient. This is a long term process. Again I feel confident that we have the right coaching staff. They have a record of being proven winners. I still think that Rick Neuheisel is just the right coach for UCLA. He'll ultimately be successful, and he'll stay at UCLA for as long as we want him to.

|Walk Away From Cancer!; From Denise Austin's Morning Stretch

From Denise Austin's Morning Stretch
Walk Away From Cancer!
You know that walking helps your heart and reduces your waistline, but did you know it also cuts your cancer risk? Researchers say 30 minutes of walking per day can keep cancer at bay or increase the survival odds of those who get cancer. Why? They maintain it's because those who walk on a regular basis are much less likely to be obese, and obesity is a major risk factor for many types of cancer, including breast cancer.
So, instead of thinking of your daily walk as "just exercise," try thinking of it as a gift you're giving yourself and your family — the gift of a long and healthy life! Doesn't that just make you want to go put on your walking shoes right now? Let's go!

When WIRED first approached IDEO, we were seeking a few bold
ideas for a wider feature (in next month's issue) on how to upgrade
government in Britain. We thought the design firm responsible for

much prompting. Perhaps they would give us ideas for education or
health - they work in both fields in real life, after all,
designing insulin pens for Eli Lilly, for example (see the next
page), and primary-school syllabuses for the Kellogg Foundation.

What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
|August 18, 2014
|This tea really soothed my sore throat! Thx!
|My Grand Canyon tea
|July 23, 2014
|I have loved Blackberry Sage since my son gave me my first canister years ago. Soon after I received his gift, I hiked the Grand Canyon for the first time and enjoyed my cups of Blackberry Sage relaxing at Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the canyon. It has strengthened and refreshed me on many other hikes and in several countries. Perhaps I am wiser as a result but I am certainly smart enough to know a wonderful beverage.
|Best tea
|July 14, 2014
|Best tea ever, nice refreshing taste, the pairing of blackberry and sage complement each other, this is now my favorite tea
|Blackberry Sage
|July 13, 2014
|This is a delicious tea. I have been drinking it for about 5 years now. The tea is flavorful and goes well with any dessert. I drink tea at night with a small piece of chocolate or other sweet dessert and this tea goes well with any dessert I have.
|July 10, 2014
|I found this tea at a tea shop here, the owner said everyone loved this tea so I gave it a try and just love it.

Trinity College, Cambridge
Cambridge Information
Version française
ISIH Home
Buses to Cambridge stop either on Emmanuel Street or at the neighbouring Drummer Street Bus
Station. To get to Trinity, walk down St Andrew's St, passing Woolworths on the right
(300 yards). Keep straight on, leaving Waterstone's bookshop also to your right until
you get to the junction with Green Street (200 more yards). Turn left down Green Street,
leaving Sainsbury's supermarket to your right. At the bottom of Green St, turn right onto
Trinity Street. Trinity Great Gate is on your left (50 yards).
The train station in Cambridge is about two miles outside the centre of town.
There are three ways of getting to Trinity from it.
Taxi. The simplest way from the train station to Trinity College is by taxi.
The taxi rank is located on your right just as you exit the train station. The city centre
is closed to traffic between 10am and 4pm. If you arrive within these times, therefore,
you should take the taxi to the back of Trinity College: ask to be taken to
"Trinity College, New Court." Outside these times, ask to be taken to
"Trinity College, Great Gate." Cost: about £5.50, including the customary 10% tip.
If the taxi drops you in New Court, you should make your way to Great Gate for
registration. Walk east through the large archway opposite the one the taxi came through.
Continue walking towards Nevile's Gate, leaving Bishop's Hostel to your right, and take the
first left turning through a covered passageway. This opens into Great Court; the Great Gate
is diagonally opposite the court to your left. Only fellows of the College and guests in
their company may walk on the grass.
Bus. You can also get to the town centre from the train station by bus.
Between 8am and 6pm a dedicated bus runs every ten minutes between the station and town.
Cost: 85p. You will get out at the junction of Regent's Street and Emmanuel Street.
To get to Trinity, follow the instructions above regarding buses.
By foot. If you have light luggage it is also perfectly possible to walk from
the Train Station to Trinity. Walk down Station Road until it meets Hills Road.
Turn right down Hills Road walk straight down it for half a kilometre until you reach a
largish junction with a large church on the left hand side. Carry straight on over this
junction down Regent Street, which becomes St Andrew's Street. From here follow the bus stop
instructions above. The walk will take you between 25 and 40 minutes.
The main entrance to Trinity College is called Great Gate, and it is this that you should
ask for if you find yourself in need of directions within the College. The Conference Office
is just inside Great Gate on the left hand side, in a room called the Old College Office.
You should go there first.
The door on the right hand side of the Great Gate leads to the Porter's Lodge.
If there is no one in the Old College Office go in there, and tell one of the
porters you are here for the Quarrels Conference. They will then assist you. Regrettably,
despite their title (which is derived not from portare but rather from porta),
it is not part of a Cambridge porter's job to carry your bags.

I was waiting to see what the heck was going on with Eric Winston before I do this. If he would not have signed, this beautiful masterpiece would never have been typed.
2003 was the last time Chiefs fans had any hope in getting to a SB. Of course as luck would have it we pull the Colts, who have been the bane of Chiefs fans since 1995. Seriously I think last year was the first time in a nice long time that the Chiefs beat the Colts.
What does 2003 have to do with Winston? Well if you don't know, follow me...
I am of course talking about the Great Wall that was the Chiefs 2003 Offensive Line. I think I can count on one hand how many times Trent Green got sacked.
For those who don't know the line went something like this:
Willie Roaf-Brian Waters-Casey Wiegmann-Will Shields-John Tait
Damn that line looks epic even in just words.
As of this moment our line looks like this:
Branden Albert-Ryan Lilja-Rodney Hudson-Jon Asamoah-Eric Winston
I will say this much as a disclaimer: Branden Albert is not near the talent of Roaf by any stroke of the imagination.
Two of our current linemen are direct successors to two of those bricks. Hudson trained under Casey and Big Jon trained under Waters.
I would venture to say that this is the closest that Chiefs fans will see to that famous line. I don't see our any of our current line going to the Hall of Fame, except maybe Winston.
Ryan is the oldest member currently at age 30 but keep in mind that Weigmann was 38 when he finally called it quits. Even if we do draft DeCastro, Lilja is one guy who I would LOVE to have as a backup.
The point is that right now this is the closest I believe to ever getting that mythical 2003 line.

Command scope
Topic group
Many Xbase commands have a scope option (not to be confused with the scope resolution operator) that dictates which records to process. The scope honors the current index order, filter, and key constraints. Three clauses comprise a command's scope:
FOR <for condition>
WHILE <while condition>
There are four different options for <scope>:
All records, starting with the first.
Starting with the current record, processes all subsequent records in the table
NEXT <expN>
Starting with the current record, processes the next <expN> records. NEXT 1 processes the current record only.
RECORD <bookmark>
The individual record referenced by the bookmark <bookmark>. You may also specify a record number for DBF tables.
Different commands have different default scopes. In conjunction with <scope>, many commands have one or both of the following conditional clauses:
FOR <for condition>
Specifies a condition that must evaluate to true for each record to be processed. If the <for condition> fails, that record is skipped and the next record is tested.
WHILE <while condition>
Specifies a condition that must evaluate to true for processing to continue. The test is performed before processing each record. If the <while condition> fails, processing stops.
If you specify a FOR clause, the default scope of the command becomes ALL. If you specify a WHILE clause, with or without a FOR clause, the default scope of the command becomes REST.

Just my newest piece from HeadKickLegend.com. If you like it, please go over to HKL and check it out!
Diego Sanchez will forever be remembered as one of the most exciting fighters in early Zuffa years of the UFC, his mix of incredible cardio and borderline fool-hardy grit ensure that almost all of his fights have been a spectacle to behold. Of late though, Sanchez is coming off of two hard losses to John Hathaway and BJ Penn, a journeyman quality win in Paulo Thiago, and an extremely questionable victory over Martin Kampmann which exposed more holes in his game than it did return him to form. So what happened to the Diego Sanchez that swarmed all over Nick Diaz and won our hearts on the Ultimate Fighter with his bizarre personality and real world fighting skills? Diego Sanchez struggles with distance, and it has been picked up on and exploited by three of his last four opponents. Is Jake Ellenberger the kind of fighter to do the same? Probably not, but he has more than enough tools to make Sanchez struggle in other ways.
A quick look through Diego Sanchez's successful fights reveals his modus operandi; the man is an animal, constantly moving forward and swarming on opponents with punches until he gets them to the mat where his effective ground and pound and slick Jiu Jitsu can be utilized. One of Diego's best matches was his defeat of Nick Diaz, in which he would throw some big punches then literally dive at the much taller man's legs. Once he got Diaz to the mat Diego was relentless, stacking Diaz up in guard and dropping from his feet back to his knees with huge elbows. While Diaz was never in danger of being stopped, it is certainly the most ineffectual we have seen his guard look.
However against BJ Penn, Diego Sanchez shot 27 takedowns, succeeded in none, and was pounded on the feet constantly. Now BJ Penn is a marvelous athlete, but to write off his natural abilities as the reason he could do this to Sanchez when other great athletes like Nick Diaz couldn't is just downright moronic. BJ fought the perfect gameplan against Sanchez which from the get go seemed to be about pressure. Throughout the fight BJ Penn backed Diego on to the cage, but instead of leading waited for Diego to charge him. When Diego did charge, BJ would take one or two shuffles back to avoid the first attack, slip the second and counter - and it worked. Every time.
The reason this happened is because Diego relies on swarming opponents to get the takedown, every one of his previous defeated opponents had been distracted by his rushes with his hands and had left their hips exposed for him to shoot on. The thing is that Diego can hit with power, when he's standing still and swinging, but becomes a rigid arm-puncher when he attempts to strike at long distance. Just look at how he pushes his punches at Penn, it's almost Forrest Griffin-esque, and certainly nothing for Penn to worry about. Additionally his straights are slow and predictable - in his fight with BJ, Diego threw the same combination multiple times in every one of the five rounds. BJ continued to either counter it, or move out of the way with ease.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) - Authorities in western Ohio say two teenage girls are in custody after leading police on a three-county chase over 20 miles in a stolen car.
Police say West Liberty police tried early Thursday to stop a vehicle seen driving on the sidewalk. Heading southbound on U.S. 68 toward Urbana, it went over tire deflation devices deployed by Champaign County deputies. The Springfield News-Sun reports that the vehicle continued despite two blown tires.
Clark County deputies put out more stop sticks, and the other two tires blew out. Police said the vehicle crashed into a median.
Police say a 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl are being held in Logan County juvenile detention center on multiple charges. They reportedly had gone missing from a West Liberty group home.

New trailer shows off Diablo 3's brutal loot-hunting on PlayStation 3
Blizzard has released a new trailer showing how Diablo 3 will look when it comes to PlayStation 3 as Blizzard's first console title in over a decade.
The interface has been redesigned to suit the console format and its lack of a mouse, but otherwise it looks exactly like what players have come to expect from Diablo 3. According to Blizzard, the PlayStation version of the game features an "updated interface and inventory system ... as well as direct character control, an updated camera and monsters 'specifically tuned for console.'"
The console version of Diablo 3 is playable at this weekend's PAX East convention, and Polygon will be there for a hands-on report.
In February, Blizzard announced plans to bring Diablo 3 to PS3 and PS4 with four-player, full-screen co-op for online and offline multiplayer.

It took $78 million dollars to build a sugar mill in Lacassine that only operated for 90 days.
Now, Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain is borrowing $7 million dollars to take control of the defunct mill, which is teetering on default of its debt payments.
Strain says if the state doesn't buy out the mill, a bank would take over the property and the Department of Agriculture wouldn't be able to sell it or lease it to recoup some of its investment.

Reviews for Grilled Corn Dip
Sort By :
I just wasn't impressed with this recipe. I tried it exactly as shown and then again with my tweaks. As is, it lacks seasoning. It definitely needs salt and something more than just chili powder. A large chopped onion is overkill and drowned out the cheese. I was not pleased with the consistency the first time...it was like a casserole rather than a dip. It was NOT a hit at my Labor Day gathering. Even my tweaks didn't save it and I changed up the seasoning. I think it's the mayonnaise (I used Hellmans). I just didn't like it, texture, season-wise and cheesiness. NOT a keeper.
Delish!! I did use frozen corn like a previous reviewer suggested and it turned out good.
I've made this dip often just using frozen corn. I leave out the jalapeno pepper because of my Crohn's disease and it's just as tasty without it.
This looks fabulous. I bet you could also make it using frozen corn. Spread on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and salt & pepper, then broil for 5 minutes. It'd be a nice fast way to make it if you can't grill!
i've made this dip a few times. it is really tasty. thanks for the reminder of it, i'll definetly be making some in the near future. corn is very good this year, and i've frozen it to have on hand as well.

A Young Computer Enthusiast at Monmouth County Library
A young patron and her mom take advantage of the computers in the Children's Department at Monmouth County Library in Manalapan.
A young patron and her mom take advantage of the computers in the Children's Department at Monmouth County Library in Manalapan.
Going on leave and taking a break from a his harsh duties was this young soldier who, up to then, had been engaged in having fun at his library's Halloween party in Neptune Township on Snapshot Day.
Rapunzel really didn't wanted to stay in her tower and not have her picture taken while at the Neptune Township Public Library's Halloween party - until she realized we would use the ssstttrreeetttccchhh feature of my iPad's PhotoBooth app.
This young policeman preferred having his picture taken using the Mirror function of my iPad's PhotoBooth app. The Neptune Public Library is lucky to have such eager boys in blue with whistles patrolling the area during its Halloween party. It was wonderful to be with the kids and showing them how to use the app while taking pictures of them. They didn't mind a TEENY break from the games, crafts and snacks that their Library offered to them that day!
One of the Neptune Public Library's mascots - the evil Joker - attended the Library's Halloween party. The Joker was quite familiar with my iPad's PhotoBooth app and wanted to use its Squeeze feature to take his own picture.
Every library should follow the Neptune Township Library's practice of having their own fire prevention personnel…who take their responsibilities extremely seriously (even while wearing big rings made during the Library's Halloween party)
What serendipity! I just love book sales and the Friends of the Neptune Township Public Library (those beaming ladies in the background holding up their library's bags - also for sale!) just happened to be having one on the day of my visit…
The Neptune Township's Mission Statement says it all for me - the opportunities are infinite.
#Njsd12 Like the vast majority of public libraries throughtout the country, the Long Branch Free Public Library offers many services for its diverse clientele. People can learn and/or practice English and the library offers a substantial selection of Spanish and Portuguese materials. Literacy and Diversity Coordinator, Tonya Badillo, created and leads programs for ex-offenders re-entering the community to help them find employment. Ms. Badillo has shared her programs widely with other librarians throughout NJ. Janet Birckhead, Reference and Local History Librarian, shared plans for creating a much-needed teen space in the near future, as teen presence in their library has grown so much over the last couple of years (a good thing!). She also showed me their new quiet study room, designed for folks looking for a place to read and/or work in a space without noise - another example showing how public libraries are changing!

Empathy Anyone? A Psychotherapists' Take on "Tough Love"
Posted in Health
Today, I came across a news bite that is sticking in my craw. It was about Nick Crew, a British submarine captain and father who became so fed up with his three children's poor choices in life that he wrote them a letter. In the letter, he said in no uncertain terms that he was ashamed of them and that unless they chose to make better choices (and seek his advice on what choices they should make instead), he was not interested in having them in his life. He writes, "[Your mom and I] have had enough of being forced to live through the never-ending bad dream of our children's underachievement and domestic ineptitudes." Keep in mind that the choices he is referring to boil down to getting divorces and not being financially stable.
What bugged me about this was not the letter itself. Lord knows--it is not the first of its kind. At issue is that this became news. It became news because it generated so much debate both for and against Mr. Crew's letter. I guess the fact that anyone would support disowning one's own children because they are not what is deemed good enough leaves me a bit agitated.
I am also affected because the people in favor of this father's actions seem to reflect a general sentiment held by many in this country. Viewed by some, Nick Crew is right on. It is "tough love" that this country and its citizens need. There is a sense that many are entitled, lazy, stupid, and selfish (47% of us?). It is the same view that says those who are addicted to drugs, depressed, anorexic, anxious, or even unemployed need to pull their heads out of their collective arses and stop complaining. I can hear someone saying, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, dammit!" Each of these afflictions has a simple solution. For the addict: Stop using drugs; for the depressed: Grin-and-bare-it; for the people who have anorexia: Eat; for the anxious: Relax; and for the unemployed: Get off the couch and get a job. That is all you need to do, and to do otherwise is further evidence of your selfish nature.
I know this sentiment exists, because my clients feel it. Very few of the people I work with admit to even the closest people in their lives that they are in psychotherapy. To this day, there is a remarkable level of stigma attached to even the most common of mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Please don't get me wrong: I fully recognize the need for limits and boundaries, both with our children and with the citizens in this country. I am not interested in someone getting a free-ride or a round of applause for their less-than-optimal functioning. Ask any one of my clients and they would tell you that I help them to hold themselves accountable for their actions. But before anyone can ever be expected to push themselves to grow, they must first feel there is opportunity, understanding, and unconditional positive regard before they can hope to do so.
In response to those in favor of Mr. Crew's letter, I want to point to an experiment done in the 50's (to see the experiment, go to YouTube and type in Jane Elliott Brown Eyes and Blue Eyes). In this experiment, Jane Elliott, a teacher, separated a class of third graders into one half with blue eyes and one half with brown eyes. On Tuesday, she told the children that those with blue eyes were smarter and more deserving than those with brown eyes. She gave them special privileges. Likewise, she said that the children with brown eyes were stupid and useless.
Then she let the children go about their day. Within 15 minutes the children with blue eyes walked taller, performed better on tasks, and acted more confidently. They also began to treat those with brown eyes badly. On the other hand, those with brown eyes began acting out, making poor behavior choices, and failing on tasks given to them. This only got worse through the day as the children solidified into the roles expected of them. Of course on Wednesday, when the roles were reversed, so were the behaviors.
If a child can be this remarkably influenced by one teacher over the course of two afternoons, imagine what happens to a child that is told he is shameful and a disappointment repeatedly by a caretaker, peer, and/or society over a period of years? Might that result in someone consistently making poor choices, not because they are a bad, lazy, ignorant, etc. person, but because it is expected of them? And when this shame is internalized (the "brown eyes" didn't want to be brown eyed, after all), is it possible this would result in someone becoming depressed and anxious. Wouldn't it then make sense that they used drugs or starved themselves as a way to self-harm or dissociate? Of course, in our society, these behaviors are then criticized which furthers the shame spiral and maladaptive behaviors.
We as psychotherapists work with this issue on some level with every client we see. It is almost always a combination of bad luck (trauma), unconscious beliefs (scripting), and genetic predisposition that result in people's emotional problems. With that said, the idea that a father would write a letter to his children saying that they are a disappointment and expect that to be what gets them to turn their lives around is frankly absurd. Just as it is absurd to sneer at a depressed, homeless addict and tell him to get off the sidewalk and get a job. To do so points to a woeful lack of understanding on how emotions and the psyche work.
It is only with empathy, compassion, understanding, and warmth in relationships that someone can find the safety and courage to make real and permanent changes to their personality and perspective on the world. And it is up to ALL of us to recognize that looking down our noses at those who are struggling simply perpetuates the problem. In short, it is only when we as humans recognize that any one of us could be that homeless man on the street given his history, scripting, and genetics, that real empathy and healing can begin.
As for Mr. Crew, I can only hope that someone can provide him with the compassion he needs to improve on his own poor behavior choices.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – When Charlie Strong started his weekly press conference Monday, the Number One reason he had to discuss Rutgers was the football game the University of Louisville will play against the Scarlet Knights Nov. 29.
It's the Game of the Year in the Big East.
By the time Strong was asked his first question about the latest chop-block delivered by conference realignment, word was percolating that Rutgers had officially scheduled a Tuesday press conference to announce it will join Maryland in the flight to the Big Ten.
Syracuse. Pittsburgh. West Virginia. Notre Dame. Rutgers. Going, going, gone.
The future of the Big East is as bright as the future of the pay phone. Louisville administrators know that. Louisville coaches know that. Louisville fans know that.
This is one of the best college sports towns in America. It's the best college basketball town in the country. Louisville is one of the most ambitious college football programs in the nation. There are plenty of programs that would love to have all the assets Louisville has parked on South Floyd Street.
Doesn't matter. Think about how absurd that sounds. But it doesn't matter.
There is little anybody can do about it other than politic, brag, arm twist and then hope that when the music stops after the next blast of musical chairs Louisville has a meaningful chair to sit in. Today U of L is standing on the outside.
Perhaps the Cardinals can blast Connecticut or somebody else out of the way for a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Or maybe the testosterone rises within the Big 12 and that group will suddenly believe it needs 14 teams to match the mammoth new Big Ten and Southeastern conference arrangements.
I asked Strong if it changed his feelings about the Big East, which is not to suggest that his feelings about the Big East were warm and fuzzy before the latest developments.
"I guess what you look at is the stability of the whole league," Strong said. "There's someone else. It's five in two years that have walked away.
"We know this: It's a great position we're in … We are so successful in each of our sports that at some point somebody's going to turn around and look at Louisville and say, 'Look at what they're doing', or maybe they'll be afraid to let us come in from what we're doing. Who knows?"
What else can he say?
What else can he do?
Thump UConn Saturday at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Make it three straight over the Huskies and five wins and only three losses since U of L moved from Conference USA to the Big East in 2005. Beat Rutgers the following week. Win a BCS bowl.
If any of this conference realignment stuff was about the work done by Strong's football teams, Rick Pitino's basketball teams, Jeff Walz's women's basketball teams, Ann Kordes' volleyball teams or anybody on the roster of coaches that Tom Jurich has built, Louisville would already be safely tucked in a grander place than any of the Big East evacuees.
In the eight seasons that Louisville has been a member of the league, Jurich's overall program has been as consistently competitive and successful as anybody in the Big East.
Rutgers football is closing out its 11th winning season in 32 years. The best of Maryland football came when Jerry Claiborne worked the sidelines nearly four decades ago. Louisville football has already secured its 12th bowl trip in the last 15 seasons.
There's no reason to keep dwelling on that because it doesn't matter.
In a rational world, it should matter more than anything. In the emerging world, it doesn't matter – at least not as much television market size and how many viewers will turn on the Big Ten Network. The Big Ten is talking about opening a satellite league office in the Eastern U.S. to service Maryland, Rutgers and Penn State.
The seven percent of viewers in the New York City market that care about Rutgers and the 25 percent of viewers in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. markets that care about Maryland will move more product than the 65-or-70 percent of the viewers in this market that care about Louisville.
There's no game plan for Charlie Strong or Tom Jurich to deal with that.

text: 1. The Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup is slowly becoming a significant rivalry. I don't expect PSU to ever replace Michigan as the Buttholes main squeeze, but it is intensifying and all the elements are in place: a) close proximity; b) similar recruiting territory; c) players on both teams that either played against or with each other in high school; d) a distinct and growing dislike for each other; e) events that happen that just generally piss off one or the other team (such as challenging a ball placement call when you hold a huge lead). The rivalries PSU has with Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan & Illinois all have their reasons based on e), but really lack most or all the other elements. 2. He may not like the idea, but it is in Urban Meyer's and Ohio State's best interests to do what he can to keep high profile recruits in the BIG, and not just with Ohio State. If that doesn't happen, then the Buttholes chances to play in a national championship game greatly diminish. They don't have enough games against quality opponents that will let them get over the proverbial hump of "perceived" greatness that is the SEC. 3. We may not like the way Urban Meyer plays in the sandbox, but he does bring that SEC mentality of recruiting and coaching to the BIG. The other programs, including Penn State will either have to adapt to that mentality or accept the fact that the BIG will suffer in the polls and recruiting. 4. As it relates to 1. above, the Nits have not had a really significant rivalry since joining the BIG, despite everyone trying force it to happen (Michigan State). Rivalries just happen over time, due to circumstances outlined in 1. above. I'd like to know who you think will be PSU's chief rival twenty years from now.

Days after a surprising blowout loss to Creighton, the No. 4-ranked Villanova Wildcats needed overtime to the beat the Marquette Golden Eagles, 94-85, on Saturday afternoon.
Leading by seven at halftime, Villanova carried a lead into the final minute of regulation in Milwaukee. Then Todd Mayo happened at BMO Bradley Harris Center, scoring 10 points in 35 seconds to force overtime and elicit memories of Tracy McGrady torching the Spurs. It's not often we get to talk about T-Mac and the college game, but this was pretty nuts as Mayo hit three free throws with four seconds left to complete his run and tie the score.
The Wildcats actually had a chance to respond with a last-second shot attempt, but Tony Chennault was called for a charging foul while driving to the hoop:
Looks an awful lot like the Marquette defender was in the restricted zone, but this wasn't a cut-and-dry call.
Overtime was pretty much all Villanova, though, with the Wildcats scoring the first five points of the period before eventually expanding the lead to seven. As we saw at the end of regulation, a seven-point lead isn't exactly safe in this matchup, but Marquette couldn't muster another rally against their nationally-ranked opponents.
Villanova's James Bell led all scorers with 30 points on 9-of-18 shooting, while Ryan Arcidiacono added 20 points and 11 assists. The Wildcats shot 48 percent as team, not quite as high as Marquette's 50 percent, but they hit 10 three-pointers while the Golden Eagles hit just two.
Davante Gardner recorded a team-high 29 points and 13 rebounds for Marquette. Jamil Wilson added 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in the loss, while Mayo's outburst powered an 18-point effort off the bench.

At Monday's practice, linebackers David Santos and Zaire Anderson worked with the first team defense at WILL linebacker, apparently supplanting Alonzo Whaley. on the depth chart. After Saturday's defensive debacle, you had to expect some changes to be made. But is this a panic response, as Steven M. Sipple of the Journal-Star suggests?
The sudden chatter about #Huskers defense making multiple personnel changes strikes me as, well, panic. Was there evaluation in August?— Steven M. Sipple (@HuskerExtraSip) September 10, 2012
I don't, though I understand why some might feel that way. I see this as less of a dismissing of the evaluation as much as dismissing the way the evaluation was conducted. The reasons Whaley graded out ahead of Santos and Anderson may simply not meaned as much on Sunday as they did in August when the depth chart was first set.Is it a panic response, though? I don't see that; I don't see redshirts being burned. What I do see is a reaction to a hard truth that evidenced itself against UCLA. Up front, Nebraska executed poorly and was dominated. At times, Nebraska was OK on defense. Seven tackles for loss actually isn't that bad. What was bad was the number of missed tackles; Dirk Chatelain of the Omaha World-Herald counted 19 of them which resulted in 172 yards of offense. That was a problem that compounded itself as it kept drives alive, allowing UCLA to churn out even more yards and, as a result, more points.
So what do you do when you find yourself in this situation? When players don't play well, you look to see if there are others who could play better. If Whaley earned his position because of his experience and physical strength; those attributes don't seem quite as valuable when viewed on the Fox game video. He may have been in the right position, but didn't make the tackle. Sometimes looking silly trying, as well. And his experience didn't help him do the right things.
Yeah, I'm picking on Whaley in this situation. Others on the defense are just as guilty; Whaley is just one example. Santos bring speed and perhaps more talent to the situation. They may not quite understand what they are doing at all times, and may make mistakes in key positions. But framed in the viewpoint from Saturday night, that may not be as big of a disadvantage. And if you start playing the inexperienced players, they start to learn from their mistakes...and maybe not make as many in October when Nebraska has to travel to Columbus.
In Lavonte David's first game, he made lots of plays and impressed fans with his statistics. Bo Pelini looked at the game and saw all the little things David did wrong; eventually, he learned from his mistakes and went on to be the playmaker on defense. David was forced to play after injuries knocked Will Compton and Sean Fisher off the field. Santos and Anderson are getting their opportunity because Nebraska struggled against UCLA.
It's a calculated risk. Bo Pelini is choosing to take the risk of a young player being out of position or reading a play wrong over the risk of having a slower and stronger player on the field unable to make the play. In August, Pelini chose strength and experience hoping that would give the defense the edge. Now that conclusion has been called into question, and Pelini is trying something different.
We'll see other youngsters increasing playing time this week: Aaron Curry and Avery Moss will join Kevin Williams as freshmen playing on the defensive line. Juco Mohammed Seisay will see more time in the secondary. Nebraska is looking more at potential playmakers than experience at this point.
Anybody who's worked in the corporate world knows that at times, the rules change. Right or wrong, situations change and what was valued before isn't valued now. It's bad news for Whaley, but the risk of not changing is much worse for the team as a whole. So now Nebraska takes a step back and regroups and takes the plunge with a youth movement.

Students celebrate winning Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture Arthur Silver Prize 2014
Updated 12:01pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
A fine artist and jewellery student have received design awards in honour of their achievements.
Middlesex University artist Paresha Amin and jewellery and accessories student Joseph Farrow have been jointly awarded a Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MoDA) Arthur Silver Prize 2014 for their collections.
The Middlesex University students split the £1,000 prize - Paresha for her geometrically accurate life-sized nature prints, and Joseph for his heat tempered jewellery.
Inspired by the museum's Japanese katagami stencil prints, Paresha creates life-sized nature prints using unwanted plants including weeds and leaves. As a mathematician, she organises the prints into geometric patterns.
Paresha said: "I draw parallels with the overlooked and undervalued plant matter and the difficulties my family and other immigrants encountered."
Joseph created his jewellery collection looking at identity, using a heat tempering technique he made sure that no piece in his collection was the same and categorised it using an archival system inspired by MoDA.
Speaking about winning the award he said: "For me this feels great. I would like to put the money towards getting studio space, and I'd like to set up my own business."
The Arthur Silver Award is held annually for second and final year Middlesex University Art, Design and Media undergraduate students that best demonstrate that their work has been inspired by the Colindale based museum's collections.

My girlfriend and I are moving this fall, here is our list of places we are considering. 1. Coeur d Alene, Id / Spokane, Wa 2. Bend, Or 3. SLC, Ut 4. Ft. Collins, Co 5. Missoula, Mt 6. Boise, Id We have only been to and climbed in two of these cities. What would be your order of best to worst? Any of these cities just suck to live in? Any thoughts?
While I haven't been to about half of these, I'd think that one of your primary considerations would have to be your personal preference for city size. While some people would find a big city like SLC to be stiflingly large and overwhelming, other people might be bored in a smaller town. It's hard to recommend one of these cities without knowing what your size preference is, considering the pretty large variation in the list you've provided.
Just curious, why would you consider Fort Collins and not Boulder?
Is being employed a consideration? If so, wouldn't you look for the job first? If not, congratulations!
I live in Fort Collins, but have not been to the other places so this may not be of much use. That being said, Fort Collins is a great place to live with climbing easily accessed, although a bit farther than if you were in Boulder. I have been to Boulder many times, and it is not for me. I know many people who love it, but I just cant hop on that train. The Fort is really easy going and has treated me outstandingly well for the couple years I have lived here. Just my 2 cents.
Moved from LA to Boise about 7 months ago. Loving it so far! Got any more specific questions?
I've spent time in each of these places, and my personal preference would be as follows: 1. SLC 2. Spokane 3. Bend 4. Missoula 5. Boise 6. Ft. Collins
Here's some plus's for each of the cities I've been to, great list though..... 1. SLC- world class skiing and climbing right next door and much more within few hours drive, not sure about the party scene but I don't generally like the "rules" in Utah 2. Bend- Great smaller city, good beers and good food...from what I understand its expanding somewhat rapidly....amazing backpacking and hiking in the area but I can't speak for the climbing 3. Missoula- my favorite area of my favorite state, amazing scenery, backpacking, fly fishing, skiing, etc.....from what I understand there's some climbing too, I did some great granite bouldering in the area and saw lots of route potential .....less people and NOT many jobs at all 4. Coeur d Alene- not much in the surrounding areas but lots if you drive a bit, can't speak for the climbing or the scene 5. Boise- heard its a great city, I've climbed at City of Rocks and skied in the Sawtooth backcountry and both were absolutely amazing... 6.Ft Collins- no comments
Each of the above cities shine in their own set of attributes (with the exception of Spokane), as highlighted above by Nick. I've been through all, and recently spent two years climbing and going to school in SLC - And LOVED it! From diversity of climbing to jobs to social and cultural amenities to a cheap cost of living, Salt Lake is tough to beat. LCC, BCC, Uintas, American Fork, Maple, Joes, Indian Creek, City of Rocks all lie within a reasonable drive. And I've never before appreciated easy airport access until living in Salt Lake. The primary downside, I found, was the Winter smog inversion that blanketed the valley. Additionally, the traffic sucked. The LDS influence to my social life was surprisingly minimal.
Before you go and locate, you might want to consider a road-trip. It is far easier to find a job in the town you love than build a town you love around a location you have selected. PS - Fort Collins isn't bad. I don't like Boulder Proper so much, so I live in Erie... 20 minutes away from Boulder, 30 minutes from Bocan, Eldo, The Flat Irons, the St Vrain... 45 min from Table Mountain (as if I liked it... but some do), an hour from Lumpy, RMNP, The Big Thompson Canyon, Clear Creek Canyon, Castlewood Canyon (repeat Table Mountain comment), and the fantasic climbing around Empire (Ra, Halidome). Tack on another 20-40 minutes and I'm anywhere in the South Platte. Point being, you don't have to live in any "city proper" that you don't like. Any of your other destinations has alternatives as well. I'd have considered Vegas if it were not so damn hot there in the summer.
SLC is a great place to live, Incredible climbing which ever direction you choose to turn. Like stated, the inversion is terrible and ugly. Cost of living is unbelievable, and the majority of people living in SLC are not LDS (to find that you need to travel to the suburbs, I.E., West valley, West and South Jordan, ect...); city life is suprisingly liberal, and the art scene, if you know where to look, is wonderful. SLC would be a great choice.
Coeur d Alene is an awesome central location to access places like index, lavenworth, and the Si's for a weekend (or long day) trip. as well as close(r) access to several places b/c its right off of I-90 Same kind of goes for bozeman (which i prefer over missoula)and has everything you could want, small crags, 3+ season snow sports (if motivated, I knew people who found places to ski in the middle of august), alpine is only a few hours away in every direction, good water, and awesome fly fishing For climbing specifically tho, there are much better locations
1. Ft collins 2. squamish 3. Chatanooga 4. Bend 5.estes park
Missoula is a great place to live. The job market may not be the greatest but the outdoor opportunities make up for it. Missoula is actually right in the hub of some great climbing. There are 15 areas all within an hour of Missoula. Here are some of the best: 1) Blodgett Canyon: Bigwall, Trad, Sport,Bouldering. Exeptional rock quality. Blodgett Canyon Wikipedia 2) Lost Horse Canyon: Bouldering, Trad. Best bouldering and cracks in the state. 3)Kootenai Creek: Trad, Sport. The most popular area due to it's proximity to Missoula. Great climbing. 4)Lolo Pass: Trad, Sport, Bouldering. A lifetime of rock climbing exists here. It has largely been forgotten due to the destruction and restoration of road. Insane amount of rock. 5) Mill Creek: Bigwall, Trad, Sport, Ticks. Varied rock quality from excellent to decent. Lots of new developement going in. 6) Rattler and Mulkey Gulch: Limestone sport. Pretty fun areas Others: (all within an hour) Bass Creek Bear Creek Big Creek Alberton Rest Stop Sweathouse Creek Sheafman Creek Roaring Lion Creek Lake Como Skalkao Pass Canyon Creek Kim Williams Trail choss pile Butte Area Climbing (tons) Despite the common misconception Missoula is home to some great rock climbing. You just need some local info Spokane is sweet but way overcrowded at the crags Mill Creek Blog
There are no jobs in fort Collins so if work is important and you have nothing lined up go elsewhere
Thanks for all the responses already. Grand Junction...we might have to add that to the list, I had a great spring break there several years ago and I am thinking about doing more ice once we move. We are primarily concerned about climbing (any style, hopefully a lot of everything!) but access to NPS land is important. Access to other outdoor sports is awesome but climbing is numero uno.
Just FYI, try searching. This topic has got to be one of the top 10 Mountain Project threads of all time and I'm sure you'll find some useful info on some of these places in older threads. Good luck! I would suggest Bozeman over Missoula if you have the choice too.
My husband and I moved to Bend, Oregon for about 9 months. The only work we could find was seasonal answering phones at Christmas, okay if you love sitting for 8 hours a day and burning through your savings. Dry climate but weeks with no sun and highs in the -8 range. Beautiful, great beer, fun bars. Climbing at Smith was beautiful but choss pile, much better trad climbing across the river. Just my opinion.
Is there any climbing near Bend other than Smtih Rocks?
