It begins up right and goes direct over the black rock bulge. Unnerving crux this bulge. It is not easy. Not difficult after commitment. More short walls slabs and terraces. One more unnerving crux at length in there. Then the top slabs. Over three hundred feet and lots of easier climbing on it. Ridge moves on this one. Don't remember much. Didn't see pro. Saw lots of trees.
Start up the dirty moss covered slab left side of center gully. 12ft higher is the slab start to Dystonia and above that Hannah's overhanging arch. The moss ends at dirt and slipping off it would be very injurious. Keep going up until you can not go up anymore (there are two excellent inclining finger cracks from 10-12ft I passed. Enter big wood area ledge. Climb begins here. Direct and right above is the black rock bulge.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — The Texas Rangers would love to hear Yu Darvish's best go at "y'all."
"Some Texas twang, any type of slang," said fellow starter Colby Lewis, who spent time pitching in Japan in the opposite division as Darvish. "He'll have fun. It's going to be good."
Give him a little time, gang. Darvish most certainly would prefer to show off his powerful arm and remarkable athletic abilities before he delves into learning the lingo of the Lone Star State or belting out "Deep in the Heart of Texas."
Darvish, with his shaggy, orange-tinted hair and a dark goatee, pulled a blue long-sleeved Rangers workout shirt over his head Thursday and chatted up teammate Justin Miller as nearly everybody in the clubhouse eagerly watched.
"It's definitely not normal," Darvish said. "Even now, am I the type of player who should get all this attention? I still don't know."
At 6-foot-5, he's quite a presence even before considering that the Rangers spent more than $107 million this winter to land him.
Texas will be dealing with its share of "Yusanity."
"I guess this comes with success and all that," manager Ron Washington said Thursday, before taking the field to watch Darvish himself. "People are interested in the Texas Rangers so I guess we just have to deal with it."
The team's prize offseason pickup looked plenty comfortable in his new surroundings on the first day for pitchers and catchers at Surprise Stadium, where dozens of Japanese reporters arrived early to record the right-hander's every move.
No question his fame reaches cult status. And Darvish seems unfazed by it all.
"Even in Japan, yes, these things happen and I'm used to it. I'm not surprised," Darvish said. "Even in Japan there's a lot of attention on the baseball side. Away (from the field), just as a professional athlete with some type of status, there are some people who try to get into my private life. I don't let those things worry me."
Fans lined the area around the bullpen to catch a glimpse and autograph hounds were relentless in their efforts, swarming until a claustrophobic circle formed around the pitcher as he wrapped up his work day. Darvish received a police escort between practice fields.
"I directed traffic," joked pitching coach Mike Maddux. "It's a little postseason pandemonium here in spring training. A lot of guys are well known. Sometimes you run into somebody who's famous. That's what we're dealing with, someone who's famous."
Texas personnel provided a detailed schedule for the star Japanese pitcher's highly anticipated first day: from when and where he would stretch and warm up to his first fundamental drill and then his initial bullpen session.
Darvish threw for five minutes in the bullpen followed by five minutes on the mound against live hitters, throwing 19 pitches during that session against a pair of minor leaguers — tossing an array of fastballs to both sides of the plate, sliders, curveballs, change-ups and even one split-finger.
"Actually I don't even know how many pitches I throw," Darvish said. "I think a lot of people in this room have an idea of how many pitches I throw."
Darvish demonstrated his wit and personality for a news conference of an estimated 130 people.
What does he like about his new home?
"A lot of organic food. I can go to restaurants and not be recognized," he said. "I like everything about the United States."
Catcher Mike Napoli asked to catch Darvish on Day 1, when slugger Josh Hamilton also was out on the field and signing autographs.
"I'm just excited to get the chance to see him pitch for the first time aside from the footage on ESPN," new Rangers reliever Joe Nathan said. "His work ethic seems to be outstanding. We had a chance to talk yesterday. He enjoys getting in the weight room as much as he enjoys pitching. That will help him pitch a long time and he should adjust a lot quicker."
Darvish's father, Farsad, is in the Arizona desert to help his son through that process. The baseball part of Darvish's life will take care of itself, his father said.
"He seems to be doing OK," the elder Darvish said. "I don't really talk to him about his baseball career. That he gets adjusted and used to the culture is my concern. He's been in the big leagues in Japan and gets a lot of attention, so to him this is normal."
The two-time reigning AL champion Rangers don't envision communication problems with the 25-year-old Darvish, and Washington has no plans to learn Japanese — for one, he doesn't see it fitting it into his already hectic spring schedule.
"I don't want to trash the language," Washington quipped. "I'll use my universal baseball language. I trash the English language."
Washington won't say what day Darvish will first pitch in Cactus League action or guess how many wins he will earn as a rookie. There will be huge expectations given he signed a $56 million, six-year contract and the Rangers paid his Japanese club $51.7 million just to have the chance to acquire him.
"I think we're all excited about seeing him throw, watching him do his work," Rangers president and CEO Nolan Ryan said. "I think watching video on him I have an expectation of what he's going to be like so I don't think it's going to be really much different from what I've seen in the videos of him. But you know just seeing his delivery, watching him from different angles and that kind of stuff. Obviously everybody that's been involved in this process is anxious to see that."
When asked about working for Ryan and being coached by Greg Maddux this spring, Darvish said: "Those two people, I feel a little hesitant to approach them. If they come to me with advice I'll be very grateful."
The brass lined up behind the fence to observe Darvish's initial session. He impressed all right — and he was only going at 80 percent according to Napoli and the pitching coaches. When he faced top prospect Jurickson Profar and Ryan Strausborger the protective L screen stood right in front of the mound as a precaution.
Napoli gave Darvish a high-five and a hug after they were done.
Seattle resident and Mariners fan David Duggan showed up Thursday with Darvish's World Baseball Classic jersey hoping to get it signed for his 20-month-old daughter, Hannah.
"When Ichiro came I didn't realize the magnitude of it," Duggan said. "This could be like Ichiro mania or Dice-K mania."
Darvish's routine has been carefully mapped out. He will throw every other day and pitch in an intrasquad game on Day 9.
"He handles himself well," Maddux said. "He was there and eager to go. He didn't want to wait to throw. That's refreshing."
Darvish isn't ready to make any bold predictions. His approach is fairly simple: get his work done and stay healthy. How good he will be, he has no idea.
"That's hard to guess. I haven't made any pitches in the big leagues yet," Darvish said. "I will do everything to be the best pitcher I can be."

NPR Contributor Heaves Sigh of 'Brown Relief' That Tucson Shooter Was a 'Gringo'
It had to come eventually. National Public Radio simply could not keep from using Saturday's Tucson massacre to do some race-baiting and to bash Arizona's attempts to control its souther border.
NPR brought on Daisy Hernandez, former editor of ColorLines magazine, on Wednesday to express her "brown relief [that] the Tucson killer turned out to be a gringo" (h/t tipster sic721).
It's safe to say there was a collective sigh of brown relief when the Tucson killer turned out to be a gringo. Had the shooter been Latino, media pundits wouldn't be discussing the impact of nasty politics on a young man this week — they'd be demanding an even more stringent anti-immigrant policy. The new members of the House would be stepping over each other to propose new legislation for more guns on the border, more mothers to be deported, and more employers to be penalized for hiring brown people. Obama would be attending funerals and telling the nation tonight that he was going to increase security just about everywhere.
In short, the only reason the nation is taking a few days to reflect on the animosity in politics today is precisely that the shooter was not Latino.
It's painfully ironic that a gay Latino man came to the aid of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the storm of gunfire. Daniel Hernandez, an intern with the congresswoman, ran to Rep. Giffords and helped to stop the bleeding. If a judge hadn't blocked provisions of Arizona's SB 1070 law, the intern's surname would have easily qualified him as a target for police under different circumstances on Saturday. As Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, Ariz., told reporters: "The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous, and unfortunately Arizona has become sort of the capital."
The crass, racialist attitude of this segment pretty much speaks for itself, but there are a few things worth noting.
Daniel Hernandez's surname would not have "qualified him as a target for police" under Arizona's contentious immigration law. That law explicitly forbade police from using a person's race or ethnicity as the sole factor in deciding to inquire as to an individual's immigration status. So that assertion is simply wrong.
But Hernandez's claim derives from the fact that she doesn't bother differentiating between legal and illegal immigrants. The former make up more than 30 percent of Arizona's population, and include the intern in question. Hernandez's heroic actions would only be "painfully ironic" if he were an illegal immigrant - and therefore a target of SB 1070 - which clearly he is not.
New House members would only be "stepping over each other to propose new legislation for more guns on the border" if the issue were border security - in other words, if the shooter turned out to be an illegal immigrant. And if that were the case - if a sitting congresswoman had been shot and nearly killed by someone in the country illegally - they would be derelict in their duty if they didn't do just that.
Hernandez concludes the segment by admitting that "it was only after I saw the shooter's gringo surname that I was able to go on and read the rest of the news about those who lost their lives on Saturday and those who, like Rep. Giffords, were severely wounded."
Wait, she had to check on the shooter's race before reading on? Remind me, why was Juan Williams fired?

NPR Is Going Hard Left (possible NB tip at end)
Submitted by andrew - des moines on Thu, 01/13/2011 - 7:15pm.
I listen to NPR daily, and they have been going hard left lately (more than usual), despite suggestions that their recent managerial firing was an attempt to avoid criticism with the new congress. Monday, they joined the Kos crowd in targeting Palin over her map -- with no mention of similar maps by Dems. Wednesday, they had some WaPo guest on to criticize Palin over the 'blood libel' comment. Most disturbingly, for several weeks they have had regular calls to action for their listeners to contact their congressmen to support funding for NPR. This is part of their '170 Million Americans' campaign to lobby congress, something explicitly forbidden for NPR to engage in. The campaign is featured and linked on the Iowa Public Radio website. This alone is worth a NewsBusters story.

disgusting comment. let's say the shooter had been a Latino. if he'd been a so-called "Hispanic- American," a citizen or here legally, there wouldn't have been ANY talk of immigration restrictions. that's a straw man and shame on her for pretending otherwise.
if he'd been a Latino here ILLEGALLY, then oh yeah you BETCHA we'd be having a conversation about immigration reform.
imagine someone going on the radio and saying, of the Washington DC sniper case a few years ago, "As white person, I was really happy to hear that the shooters were black." uh-huh.

It's sad, but I'm no longer shocked by the left. To take a tragedy like this and politicize it.is scraping the bottom of the barrel. One lone idiot wanting his 15 minutes of fame, guns down innocent people. Instead of helping, individuals like this Daisy Hernandez and the NPR use their forum to spout their disinformation and rhetoric.
To see racism and bigotry in America, Daisy, NPR and Sheriff Dupnik need look no further then themselves. Instead of placing the blame squarely on the shooter, they wish to spew their intolerance of others to the masses. In essence, taking a cheap shot to tout their agenda.

You can't always tell a person's ethnicty nowadays by names. There is enough racial/ethnicity mixing that racial lines have a lot of blur to them. I remember clearly years ago when I worked with two brothers and I had no idea they considered themselves 'Mexican' (but US natives). They didn't have really Latino sounding names and they only looked like they weren't Irish.

Had the shooter been brown - all hell would have broken out.
Had the shooter been Latino, media pundits wouldn't be discussing the impact of nasty politics on a young man this week — they'd be demanding an even more stringent anti-immigrant policy.
Lachlan addressed that Daisy did not distinguish between legal immigrant and illegal immigrant; and, it's true.
Had an illegal immigrant (an illegal brownie - to continue Daisys' form of lingo), tried to assassinate a sitting US Congresswoman, and succeeded in killing a Federa Judge (and several innocent civilians) all hell would have broken out - amongst the majority (and the conservative pundits) in the US. Calls for action, to be sure.
On the other hand, had this been the case -- one can rest assured that the entire national MSM media, and leftist groups, (and I bet the WH and Eric Holder) would have still been playing the same old game; looking for what caused the poor disenfranchized young person suckered into this country perpahps by greedy corporate America only trying to line it's pockets at the expense of the American worker, to be driven to such an extreme act.

I certainly think he showed a certain amount of cajones (oops) for aiding Ms. Giffords but what about the people who wrestled the gun from this nutjob? And what about the guy that died taking the bullets for his wife? Aren't they as big a Hero as Mr. Hernandez?
Thanks to the post above, I now get it. He's not only Latino, he's a GAY Latino!!! That would elevate him over some guy who simply took bullets to protect his wife! Or a couple of guys who actually stopped the shooter!

Daisy Hernandez enamored shooter is not Hispanic
Submitted by fretsward on Thu, 01/13/2011 - 9:22pm.
This racist pap perfectly compliments her well-worn celebratory poncho and mismatched stilettos. It reads as if she is infatuated by her own reflection in the pool of urine she left on the floor.
As expected, her writing feigns to represent the moral high ground, which hits all around the mark like two or three illegal alien carpenters.
Must those who are conditioned to pretentious chattering always live in the shantytown sanctuary cities and taxpayer-funded Section 8 Barrios of dialect?
Daisy Hernandez panders and pirouettes with outlandish brown arrogance - graceful and exquisite as the apotheosis in the dirty diaphanous nightshirt with depleted ammo, and a rickety AK antedating assured martyrdom.
It's nothing but a perpetuation of the overpraised dilapidated third-world-party crusade subsumed by the gabbling reminiscences that tap into smash and grab La Raza identity.
For a demographic that feigns concerned Americans are the racist monster hiding under their beds, The National Council of La Raza, inventing illegal aliens are immigrants, racist Hispanic Studies textbooks, claiming the Southwest as stolen land, the loyalty, allegiance, and holding all things Mexico dear says otherwise.
The prolegomenous babbler shrouded in rapacious speculation, who trails sagacity, then resolves to slipshod garrulity and pusillanimous diatribes.
The bane of the sanctimonious hypocrite as sanctimonious hypocrite.
Mocking the proclamation of American citizens while they mourn is unbearable, and as expected, squatters and Straw-women will pretend struggle to authenticity and verisimilitude.
Illegal and illicit in this regard, are of course, duplicitous. To present that the well-worn pathetic excessive weepy sentimental Hispanic dog and pony show will somehow endure backlash for this tragedy is of the lowest order.
I surmise the Mexican classical race mythology masquerading as the concerned neighbor is the gift that doesn't fall far from the tree.
But then again, after reading her racist anxieties that no Hispanic surnames were reported as the shooter, this slap in the face gets my approval as the new standard for the race to the bottom.
And in true mountebank reparation, she patronizes while admitting the infirmity faced by those who are categorically not taking this issue facetiously.
Apologies are not putative, as are making justifications for those who possess the smoking gun of mental impedance.
As expected, this particular guise is contrived to evoke racial pap minus dialogue while the sentries are distracted.
We have become familiarized with reflex traders who have chosen by lack of depth to display their hatred as one would a tattoo.
Attempted corroboration of racists because they are of the identical race would be the same as giving accolades to a bank-robber for not speaking Spanish to the English-speaking teller he points his gun at...

SOHH Whatcha Think: Birdman Fighting To Sign Rap's Newest Sensation?!
Friday, May 4, 2012 8:53AM
Looks like Baby is yet again looking to expand the YMCMB roster. After adding Mystikal, Limp Bizkit and a few other heads to his already huge rap fam, the hype surrounding 16-year-old spitter Cheif Keef has the Birdman rubbing his hands at the possibility of the Chicago native joining the squad.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
During a recent interview with MTV, Birdman said the kid would be a perfect fit with Cash Money.
Chicago rapper Chief Keef has already built a solid following in the Midwest, but Kanye West gave him a national platform when he decided to remix the 16-year-old's hit "I' Don't Like" for G.O.O.D. Music. Still, a co-sign from 'Ye is only the beginning, as Keef is now being courted by Birdman and Cash Money Records.(MTV)
Keef got national shine after Kanye remixed his "I Don't Like" track, alongside his G.O.O.D. Music family.
On the same night Kanye West tweeted that he would be remixing Keef's single "I Don't Like," the Chi-town rapper tweeted that he was fielding calls from several parties interested in signing him, including Birdman. "Birdman Just Called He Say He Wanna Sign Me Wit #CMB," he wrote in April. And during Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live," Birdman revealed that he is, in fact, working on adding Chief Keef to the ever-expanding roster at Cash Money. "I like him, he kinda reminds me of us," Birdman told host Sway Calloway, referencing his all-star YMCMB team. "[He's] out the streets, I think he's swagged up and I'm definitely talking to his people and I'd like to see if we can make it pop, see if I can see if I can get him to be down with the team."(MTV)
Looks like Birdman ain't the only one checkin' for Keef: Rumor has it Def Jam and others are also interested in speaking with the young artist. SOHH Watcha Think: Would Keef be in a good spot at YMCMB, or would he end up waiting possibly years to release an album behind artists already signed to the ever-expanding label?

NFL Weekly Transaction Tracker
April 18, 2014 in 2014-free-agency, NFL Personnel
This week's two major transactions are continuations of two moves that happened last week: an offer sheet was matched and a released player has found a new home. These two are discussed in depth below and as always the rest of the moves are down below with some of the more significant ones highlighted in red.
Cleveland Browns re-sign C Alex Mack
Last week the Jacksonville Jaguars extended a five-year offer sheet to Mack, giving the Browns five days to decide whether to match or not. It took just a few hours for Cleveland to decide to match the offer.
A five-year contract worth $42 million––an average of $8.4 million per season––it makes him the highest paid center in the league by a few hundred thousand dollars per season. The deal includes $26 million in guaranteed money. This comes from his base salaries in the first three seasons. There is also a no-trade clause. Most importantly, after two years he can opt out of his contract and enter free agency. If he exercises this clause he can't be franchise tagged.
This offseason the Browns placed the rarely used transition tag on him. This gave him a one-year contract worth just over $10 million. Any team could sign him to an offer sheet and the Browns would have five days to match the offer or let him sign with that team. If he did leave the team, the Browns would have received no draft pick compensation.
Since the Browns drafted him with the 21st overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, he has started all 80 games that Cleveland has played.
This past season Pro Football Focus graded him as the fourth best center in the league and was within one decent game of the leader. Every year he has graded in the top 10 and his best finish was this season.
Center is an underrated position on the offensive line and a great one can do wonders for an offense. Mack is one of the best centers in the NFL and his departure would have left a gaping hole in the Browns' offensive line––which is one of the better in the league.
With the Browns' quarterback position in a mess, they are expected to draft one earlier in May. Having Mack around to help the rookie will make life much easier on the rookie. The center, along with the quarterback, makes pre-snap reads on the line-of-scrimmage and having Mack around will help the rookie quarterback. That and Mack is also great at in both pass and run blocking.
Overall, the Browns made the right decision to match the Jaguars' offer sheet for Mack. While the contract may be big, so is his performance and impact on the team.
New York Jets sign RB Chris Johnson
Last week the Tennessee Titans released Johnson due to a high cap hit and declining production on the field. This week he is signed with the New York Jets.
After visiting with the Jets earlier in the week, he decided that New York was the right spot for him as he signed a two-year deal worth $8 million with another $1 million available in incentives. There is $3 million in guaranteed money and all of it comes from the signing bonus.
Drafted by the Titans with the 24th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft out of East Carolina, he was the starter for Tennessee in each of his six years with the team.
At the 2008 NFL Combine he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.24 seconds, a combine record that still stands today.
In just his second season in the league he ran for 2,006 yards. This is the sixth-best single season rushing performance in NFL history and only the seventh player to go over 2,000 yards in a season.
That year he also set the NFL record for most yards from scrimmage in a single season with 2,509. With 2,006 yards rushing, 503 yards came from catches.
Thanks to this performance and good seasons in 2008 and 2010, he signed a four-year contract extension worth $53.5 million before the start of the 2011 season.
While he has rushed for over 1,000 yards in all six of his seasons, his performance has declined over the last few seasons and he averaged 3.9 yards per carry last season. His explosiveness that made him so good before has declined and he is no longer the same running back.
For the Jets this move makes sense. Their offense was in dire need of playmakers and they have addressed that by signing quarterback Michael Vick, wide receiver Eric Decker and now Johnson. With the addition of Johnson, the Jets will have a good one-two punch at running back with Chris Ivory––who has a career average of 4.9 yards per carry––backing Johnson up. Vick and Johnson will combine to create an explosive tandem in the backfield for New York.
Other Moves:
The Atlanta Falcons waive CB Saeed Lee.
The Atlanta Falcons waive TE Adam Nissley.
The Carolina Panthers sign DE Alex Hall.
The Carolina Panthers cut WR R.J. Webb.
The Chicago Bears waive DE Cheta Ozougwu.

Janarion Grant to Rutgers
Another day, another 2013 commitment for Rutgers football. This time it's Janarion Grant out of Florida, who projects to slot receiver or cornerback most likely. Looks like a solid enough commit, but Rutgers already has some commits at WR and in the secondary, so he doesn't fill a huge need necessarily. Rutgers has a lot of commits overall, so there aren't necessarily any huge needs left in terms of position. They could use another freshman OL signee, but the biggest name left there is JUCO Ali Kassem. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to LB recruit Skai Moore, although he also is at a position need. Overall, it's not a terrible recruiting year for Rutgers, but definitely a relative disappointment compared to the last few. A top NJ recruiter on the staff would really do wonders moving forward.

Seriously what has happened with this MB. All the old guard seem to vanished? JD, CEO & plenty of others seem to have just vanished. Is it the influx of the borderline retarded folk on here who only talk about one subject & two fighters?
What has happened to this site?

Maybe I'm wrong. But I think the old guards post quality stuff... A LOT! Perhaps even the old trolls livened up these boards with their comedic values.
Now, the influx of Floydiots made the old guards disappear. That even though you have a lot of new posts coming from new timers, you also have less posts from the old timers. Almost the same amount of traffic. Low quality threads. I can't even smile at some posts the way I used to when I first came here.
Problem with the Floydiots is that they don't fuckin' have their own website. Maybe, we can make FightHype their own.

Delyn MP criticises abandoned West Coast rail deal
The decision to scrap plans to award the West Coast Main Line franchise to FirstGroup have been strongly criticised by a North Wales MP.
"To announce something at 12.32am in the first place of such significance to my constituents and people in North Wales is quite frankly scandalous," says Labour's David Hanson, MP for Delyn.
"I think this is a fiasco of monumental proportions from the Government."
"It might be the right decision - we did have some concerns over the loss of the route by Virgin - but the way the Government have handled this needs some answers urgently."
Today it emerged that three Department for Transport (DfT) officials have been suspended after Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin laid the blame for the fiasco "wholly and squarely" on the DfT.
A DfT spokesman said: "Three officials involved in the West Coast franchise competition were today suspended by the Permanent Secretary while the full facts are established. No further details will be issued at this time about the suspensions."

The Evolution of the Rondo Debate: The Notion of Replaceability
The argument over whether or not the team is truly better without Rondo continues full-force, but it also has evolved with continued team success. The stance in this article is that the team isn't necessarily better without Rondo, because a lot of the team improvements were likely to happen as the season progressed anyway (very similarly to how it happened last season). However, the kicker is that the team ALSO isn't appreciably WORSE because Rondo is out. In other words, like James Harden in Houston, Rondo can be a very good player but STILL be replaceable on a squad with even better anchors and excellent depth. This article explores this notion of replaceability vs. player quality in more depth.

The Slovene coast which measures 46.6 kilometres is covered with abundant vegetation. Here is a natural reserve with a rich supply of marl and sandstone and the unique Strunjan cliff which ascends 80 metres above the sea and is the highest flysch wall on the Adriatic coast. Here are the Secovlje saltworks, first mentioned in the 13th century. Due to their extremely abundant natural and historical heritage they were named a regional park and are a rich sanctuary of plant and animal worlds.
Ljubljana with about 276,000 inhabitants, is considered a city which suits everyone from its inhabitants to its numerous visitors as well. Despite the fact that it ranks among the middle sized European cities, it maintains the friendliness of a small town, and at the same time possesses all the characteristics of a metropolis.
Here, at the meeting point of the cultures of the east and the west, the old interlaces in harmony with the new. In Ljubljana the remainders of all the five milleniums of its history are preserved, among these is the legacy of the Roman town of Emona and the Old Town with its medieval castle.
The mighty but easily accessible Julian Alps, the tourist area in this attractive geographical area is linked by the offer of four developed tourist towns: Bled, Kranjska Gora, Bohinj and Bovec with the Soca Valley. Most of the area is within the Triglav National Park which measures 85 hectares and is one of the largest natural parks in Europe. The park lies in the vicinity of high stony mountains including Mount Triglav (2864 m); the highest mountain of Slovenia - and deep river gorges, highland karst potholes and friendly highlands

Turning a Passion for the Islands (and Coffee) into a Business
Drive-thru java shops are usually seen in big cities where coffee house giants such as Starbucks open them up to speed up service for their coffeeholic, commuting customers. However, small, entrepreneur-owned coffee shops like Island Bean Company are successfully competing with the big boys.
Dorie and Paul Schwendeman of Pittsburgh, Penn. are owners of the Island Bean Company coffee-fueling station, which they built from scratch on the lot of an old gas station on the side of a busy, six-lane highway and finally opened in 2006.
Dorie and Paul chose the name of their shop based upon the love of the islands. And their love for the islands didn't stop with the name either. Commuters can't miss the the large faux palm tree or bright orange and green island colors on their 10 x 25-foot tropical-looking building. But don't let the small building size fool you; Island Bean Company has served roughly 485,000 cups of coffee in five years and won the "Best Drive-Thru Java" award in the local magazine within eight months of opening.
But the road to coffee-land wasn't all sugar and spice for the Schwendeman's. It took two years of planning and researching — and pleading with banks for financing — before finally opening up the drive-thru lanes on McKnight Rd. "We faced many obstacles and challenges just to get open. Finding the right location, securing financing from the bank, jumping through hoops with the local zoning and planning commissions, and an enormous amount of construction delays and problems to build a very small building — start to finish it took almost two years to open," say the duo.
And the challenges didn't end with the doors opening either. "Being a small business owner means wearing a lot of hats. You are the marketing, accounting, human resources, customer service, product development, inventory, maintenance, etc. There is no one else to do all these jobs — plus we worked in the store everyday — open til close. It takes some time (and a lot of mistakes) to build a business. Eventually, we found ways to get things done. We served our customers well and could finally hire some help at the store." Though they still wear all the hats, "we get more sleep now and can have a bit of a life outside of the business," they say.
When asked what what they like most about building and managing a small business, the Schwendemans say, "The best thing is having something to be proud of, something that you built and put your own stamp on. The very best thing is when your hard work is acknowledged by your customers. It's wonderful to hear from our customers that they love our products, our staff, and our whole concept!"
Through the years, they have been able to expand, and they now offer catering services and on online store in addition to the drive-thru business.
Dorie and Paul hope to someday open up their own hotel on a faraway, tropical island, and if their determination — and success of the Island Bean Company — is any indication of that happening, they will.

Fic: Blood Begets A Curse Anew (Rated R)Jan. 13th, 2014 02:57 pm
Author: calliopes_pen
Written For: cherith, for yuletide
Rating: R (or M)
Warnings: Major Character Death. Graphic Violence. Animal Sacrifice. Torture. Suffering. Unhappy Ending.
Fandom: Legend (1985)
Pairing: Lili/Darkness
Characters: Darkness, Lili, Brown Tom, Blix, Pox, Gump, Jack.
Word Count: 14,129
Author's Notes: This was the prompt: "I want Dark!Lily, I want Darkness. It can be rough, it can be angsty, it can be as dark as you're willing to write it. What happens if she stays with him? What happens if she kills the unicorn? What happens if Jack dies and she's left alone with Darkness? My absolute favorite fairytale in the whole world is Little Red Riding Hood. Dark!Lily is a werewolf?" The Director's Cut for the film was used for this story, rather than the shorter American version.
Beta Readers: A massive amount of thanks to Astrokath and seandc for beta reading. I can't thank the both of you enough for helping to whip this story into shape.
Summary: Jack doesn't come to Lili's rescue, and she goes through with the sacrifice. But there are repercussions, as nature darkly fills the void of the slain unicorn with a new creature.
( Let the Dark Bride make her worst of choices. Let her murder with good intentions cradled in her heart. Let her know there was no going back. )
Resurrecting The Yuletide MemeJan. 2nd, 2014 11:24 am
Yuletide 2006: Fools In Love Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
Looking back, I think the one I wrote for my first Yuletide was my least favorite. I'm linking to it anyway, even if I don't think it turned out all that well—it's easier to keep track of everything that way. It was just what Ares and Aphrodite went through trying to get Cupid and Strife together even though they already were.
Yuletide 2007: This was the year I bowed out early on, so that it wouldn't count against me. All I will say outside of a locked post is that I knew I could never do it justice, and I thought it would be better off if someone else picked it up. I gave it a shot multiple times before that, but I knew I just couldn't do what they wanted.
Yuletide 2008: Because We're Addamses The Addams Family (movies)
2008's assignment was great fun for me. I loved writing this one, primarily due to the strangeness of Wednesday Addams.
Yuletide 2009: Paranormal Pressures Being Human (UK version)
It was just some regular domestic oddness for George, Annie and Mitchell. This would have been written shortly before I ended up falling out of love with the series as a whole and jumping ship.
Yuletide 2010: If You Could Read My Mind Back to the Future
This one was nice to write. It's just set shortly after a time stream collision with the phone booth that Bill and Ted used to travel through time. It was all Doc's point of view as he worked on his mind reading device, and went off on stream of consciousness mental tangents.
Yuletide 2011: The Nosferatu Effect My Best Friend Is A Vampire
This was a movie I loved...written for someone on my friends list. Therefore, it was interesting trying to keep posts as vague as possible, due to how small the fandom was. However, I enjoyed writing it. It's twenty-five years after the film, catching up with two vampires in the graveyard, and seeing how everyone involved has fared in the ensuing time.
Yuletide 2012: Santacide Is Coming To Town Pushing Daisies
All my recipient really wanted to see was Santa die, and the gang from the Pie Hole investigate the crime. This, coupled with my warped desire to kill Santa in some twisted way, meant I had an inordinate amount of fun writing the story. I was pleased to see that a few people thought I had nailed the Narrator's voice.
Yuletide 2013: Blood Begets A Curse Anew Legend (1985)
If you click the above link, heed the warnings in the tags. I've gone on at length over here, as to the writing process for the story and the ways it almost ended. As stated over there, clocking in at 14,129 words, this is the longest fanfic that I have ever written. It may also be the darkest thing I have written to date. The prompt provided so much inspiration that there's a good chance it could have been even longer, if I hadn't reigned it in. Writing Lili's descent into darkness was an interesting experience in regards to plotting, and capturing Darkness' voice was a surprisingly fun endeavor. Some moments happened in the story that I didn't expect to happen when I started out, but they provided some lovely additional torment for Lili.
Here's What I Wrote For YuletideJan. 1st, 2014 11:37 am
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Legend (1985)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Major Character Death
Relationships: Lili/Darkness
Characters: Darkness (Legend), Lili (Legend), Brown Tom, Blix, Pox, Honeythorn Gump, Jack (Legend)
Additional Tags: Character Death, Alternate Universe, Torture, Animal Sacrifice, Suffering, Evil Wins, Horror, Unhappy Ending, Fractured Fairy Tale
Summary: Jack doesn't come to Lili's rescue, and she goes through with the sacrifice. But there are repercussions, as nature darkly fills the void of the slain unicorn with a new creature.
Please heed all of the warnings in the Additional Tags section, as well as the main warnings section.
I'll post something about the process of writing it later.
Fandom Stocking, And YuletideDec. 29th, 2013 12:11 pm
Meanwhile, I've decided that once the authors are revealed for Yuletide, I will do a separate post about the process for the long story I wrote. It's already written up. I suspect the story itself is too long for LJ, but it might not be too long for Dreamwidth. I'll figure that out later.
I considered having people guess which story was mine, since that meme's going around again this year--but it would be too easy, given that I've mentioned both the length before, as well as (while searching for a beta, possibly in a locked entry) the fandom in earlier posts. There are too few stories in the fandom in question this year, meaning it would be relatively easy to guess. So I'll sit that out.
Opening My Yuletide Gift...Dec. 25th, 2013 09:29 am
Just when I thought I was done with the Yuletide story (since it's been uploaded to the archive for a bit), I noticed something I had come up with in a separate Word document that really needs to go into the beginning. Apparently, it was lost in the shuffle. I'm sending that bit back to the beta in a few minutes, and then I'll edit it into the uploaded version.
14,083 words with that extra bit.
Almost Ready To UploadDec. 11th, 2013 02:23 pm
I have the Yuletide fanfic back from a beta reader, and I've spent a few hours here (five hours today, thanks to the length of the story) and there fixing up all the smaller issues. I only need to tweak something major at the beginning now, and add one extra line at the end. After I do that tomorrow, then I should be ready to upload it to the archive.
Two More Betas To GoDec. 2nd, 2013 09:37 am
And now, a meme:
Give me the title of a story I've never written and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
Yuletide Fanfic, And A QuestionNov. 25th, 2013 12:00 pm
Also, is anyone else having trouble with LJ? I can log in finally, but I haven't been able to get any further than the main page for the last two or three days. It's only LJ, and no other site--it's that way in IE, Chrome, and Firefox, so it's likely something to do with the cluster I'm on.
When I try to cross-post, looks like Dreamwidth fails to connect until the third try. So definitely an issue on LJ's part.
Oh, and without spoiling anyone who may not have seen it--loved the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who when it aired on Saturday.
So, How's That Story Going?Nov. 20th, 2013 11:56 am
At that point, if it is, it will be off to the first beta reader.
My self-imposed due date prior to the beta portion is Thanksgiving, as is almost always the case for Yuletide.
Yuletide ProgressNov. 8th, 2013 01:22 pm
I hope to be done by Thanksgiving, since that's usually around when I start sending things to get a beta read.
And just in case anything were to go wrong, I have one copy on the external hard drive, and one copy on my computer.
I Have My AssignmentOct. 19th, 2013 10:11 am
I'm downloading the source material film right now, so I can take some notes on the scene in question that they want to see diverge from a particular point in canon.
Yuletide Sign-Ups End SoonOct. 13th, 2013 11:06 am
With these in the Bucket List: A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman, Allstate Insurance "Mayhem" Commercials, Clue (1985), Murder By Death (1976), Pushing Daisies, The Addams Family (1991), and Without a Clue (1988).
ETA: Whoops, misread somewhere along the way. Sign-ups end tomorrow evening at 5 PM, not tonight. So I have some extra time to watch those movies.
Dear Yuletide 2013 LetterOct. 8th, 2013 02:00 pm
( Beneath the cut, you will find this year's Dear Yuletide Letter. )
I've finally gotten around to watching the first episode of Sleepy Hollow. I think I like it, so I'll give the next episode a shot. I'll try watching the new version of The Tomorrow People, as well as (because I watched four seasons of The Vampire Diaries in one month, under the mistaken impression they were eligible for Yuletide until I rechecked the ineligible list, and I might as well put it to some use) The Originals, when they premiere. Mostly so I'll know if I want to write for either of those for Yuletide.
Also, is anyone else having a problem where you cannot see comments (aside from the notation telling the number of comments there should be, as well as page numbers) on LJ at all, when you're using Internet Explorer? I finally thought to switch to my portable version of Firefox, and I can see the comments over there. I assume it was just another upgrade from LJ's end that caused this, since nothing else is affected. It started three days ago.
Dark Shadows (1991): Which character or characters do you want added to the Yuletide nominations?
Pick One Or More If You So Desire
Mr. Boogedy (1986)
0 (0.0%)
Fright Night (1985)
0 (0.0%)
Murder By Death (1976)
3 (100.0%)
Reconsidering A Yuletide NominationSep. 17th, 2013 12:15 pm
I also still have one character slot open for Dark Shadows (1991). I've already nominated Maggie Evans, Barnabas Collins, and Victoria Winters.
Nominations Are OpenSep. 16th, 2013 10:35 am
Having just rewatched Murder By Death (1976), courtesy of Antenna TV, this morning--if anyone out there has an open slot and no ideas for it, please consider adding that one. (Or Mr. Boogedy--located a copy of it on Vimeo.)
Reconsidering A NominationSep. 12th, 2013 12:14 pm
Currently the four fandoms I plan to nominate are: The Dracula Tape Series—Fred Saberhagen, Mr. Boogedy, The Super Dictionary, and Clue (1985). However, due to the only way to really see the Boogedy movies (that I know of) being Youtube--and Disney constantly getting those uploads I locate deleted, it might make things harder for whoever ends up with my assignment. So I'm thinking of switching that out for something else. If anyone would like to see a particular fandom from this list get nominated, just let me know.
The options:
Dark Shadows (1991)
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1996
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1988
Fright Night (1985)
Murder By Death (1976)
Radioland Murders (1994)
(While watching today's Syfy marathon of Friday The 13th: The Series, I considered throwing that out there. Haven't decided yet.)
Yuletide Nominating Is ImminentSep. 10th, 2013 12:19 pm
As for the fourth fandom nomination slot, currently it looks like it's two votes for Clue. Someone else seems to be planning to nominate Sleepy Hollow according to a comment I saw somewhere else, so that's off the long list of possible nominations for me now.
Yuletide Nominations Are Coming Up SoonSep. 2nd, 2013 10:24 am
Would anyone else be willing to nominate the 90's version of Dark Shadows with me when the time comes, or the Super Dictionary? Just in case the 2+ nominations rule goes through after all. Or even Mr. Boogedy/Bride of Boogedy, since I'm certain I promised to try to nominate it. (If someone wants to watch Mr. Boogedy or Bride of Boogedy, both can be viewed in their entirety on Youtube--I'll get the links if you need them)
If I'm unable to nominate Mr. Boogedy, I'll try to switch it out for Mockingbird Lane or Fright Night (80's version).
ETA: Seeing as Sleepy Hollow debuts on September 16th? If the first episode is good, I put that into the list of things I might nominate.

Thanks again. I already had the .flex-caption in my user CSS so I just added the opacity code and it was ok. Don't know why you added #C00. : )
Satish, is there any way to get the box to be a less see-through then it is now? I already set the opacity to 1. Just to be clear, I want the background to be just a little more darker.

Sherman against the Ravens said he got away from the run because the defense "didn't give us anything". As a Dolphin fan I took that as a sign of giving up or quitting on the team. This week we ran well against the Bills but yet again in the 4th quarter Sherman abandoned the run.
I must say that I wasn't surprised because we had runs of 32 & 12 yards early in the 2nd quarter by Miller and Wallace but did not run again on that drive except Tannehill up the middle.
In my first Run Sherman post I analyzed several plays and offered fixes. To my surprise Sherman righted the ship somewhat. By that I mean, he reduced the zone blocking to a series of plays opting more in favor of the man blocking scheme. This optimized the strengths of our O-line, specifically Jerry because most of the nice gains in the run game came from up the middle and to the right side of the line.
This slight alteration, as I predicted, allowed the line to be more aggressive which in turn resulted in bigger gains in the run game. This led to zero sacks for three quarters until it was abandoned altogether in the 4th quarter.
So now we must ask why didn't we come out with a win with all of the improvements in O-line play and the run game? Let's take a look.
First I must admit that I feel as though Sherman quit on us again. We had 25 rush attempts but only 2 runs on 3rd down versus 15 on 1st down, this lends to a predictable pattern. Next we ran the ball only 3 times with less than 5 minutes left in any quarter which also lends to predictability. Furthermore Miami's two sacks both came on 2nd & 8, which basically ended both drives and possible points off the board.
Finally in the 4th quarter Miami had the ball on their own 20 with a 1 point lead and 14:07 on the clock. We had 3 pass attempts and punted at 13:30 on the clock. We only gained 7 yards and burned 47 secs; 47 seconds with a running game that looked good on this day. Say it ain't so!!!
Usually as an OC, one would do THIS to set up THAT. I continue to be astonished how Sherman doesn't use the run to set up the pass or visa versa. Most OCs take what runs have worked prior and hit the defense with a pass out of the same formation and action as that good run. However Sherman plays seems oh so damn random as though he is picking them out of a hat. That's not coordinating, that's play calling; BIG difference.
Miami has greatly improved the receiving core but it must now be absolutely clear to this coaching regime that we must not only improve the run but utilize that improvement.
Run, Sherman Run!!!

Carlos Munoz shot straight to the top of the Indianapolis 500 speed chart Sunday.
A little more than 24 hours after passing his rookie test, the Colombian narrowly averted a collision with teammate Marco Andretti in the first turn and posted the fastest lap in two practice sessions by going 223.023 mph on a cold, windy day.
Despite the near mishap, Andretti Autosport still claimed four of the top six spots Sunday. Defending series champ Ryan Hunter-Reay posted Sunday's second-fastest time at 222.825. Venezuela's E.J. Viso was third at 222.523. Andretti was fourth at 222.485 and James Hinchcliffe was sixth at 220.907.
The only non-Andretti driver among the top six was rookie AJ Allmendinger, who was fifth at 221.279. He drives for Penske Racing.
Speeds should increase later this week.

Fabulous family reunion location!
The house was just as lovely as it looked online. We especially liked the living room with glass sliding doors on 3 sides, and the secluded location. Everything was clean, with plenty of linens and an extremely well-equipped kitchen, ready for any kind of cooking. The owner was easily available by phone to answer questions. We had 3 generations for a family reunion. Younger folks stayed in their own area on the lower level, with older ones on the main floor. It's toddler-friendly-- there were gates to close off the deck while we grilled and hung out. The rooms were free of clutter for no worries on parents part. The grass lawn is level for games and play. Some of our favorite activities were kayaking to the conservation area on Stonedam Island, and gathering at the fire pit for some-mores. The beach was lovely and private, partly shady, so no worries about sunburned toddlers. We recommend this house highly for any groups!
Excellent Island Getaway!!
Loved the week we spent at the 'Point'!! The property is very well maintained and has everything you need for a wonderful island experience. Our family loved spending time in the water off the very nice small private beach as well as canoeing and kayaking (both of which are provided with the house) around the island. The dock is in great shape for securing your boat. The owners were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole experience. We would definitely recommend this rental to a boating family looking for a nice secluded spot on the lake. We felt like we were the only ones on the island as we barely heard our neighbors. Book early!!
Fantastic Weekend Getaway!
Rented this home for a long weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday. The property truly exceeded my expectations – not only is it gorgeous and wonderfully maintained the 3 separate living quarters allowed for our group of 3 generations to enjoy the property comfortably. The house was clean, recently renovated and completely stocked with everything we needed. Aside from a couple trips to the grocery store (which is conveniently located a few minutes from the house) we had no reason to leave the property! And the location on the quiet cove was simply perfect - so peaceful. We left the weekend relaxed and with memories we'll never forget. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be a return guest. Next time for a least a week because the weekend was simply not long enough! Thank you Annette and Marc!

As 2008 ended, there had been a warrant-less police raid on an MP's
office in the Palace of Westminster, and Labour had announced its intention to
press ahead with its idiotic proposal for directly-elected crime and policing
Not long before that, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair had fallen
on his sword, the victim not just of his real or imagined shortcomings but of
chaotic arrangements for political oversight.
The commissioner is appointed by the home secretary but responsible to a body
chaired by the mayor of London.
This ludicrous arrangement of overlapping mandates is set to be replicated if
directly elected crime and police representatives start to dispute with local
authorities over who has the superior mandate in the innumerable areas in which
they overlap.
Labour's policy is a variant of the Conservatives' idea of directly elected
These elections would probably be contested by the same sorts of exhibitionists
and celebrities who are attracted to elected mayoralties.
While their efforts to prove who was the toughest on crime might produce the
entertaining spectacle of an election fought between the 'Wire Their Genitals To
The Mains' party and the 'Flog Them It's The Only Language They Understand'
party, the consequences for effective policy would be dire.
Since the Liberal Democrats cannot nowadays see a consensus emerge between the
other two parties without leaping to join it – while at the same time devising
policies of incomprehensible complexity – direct election is now also party
In true modern Lib Dem style, this involves councils becoming police authorities
where their boundaries chance to coincide and "Where police forces straddle more
than one council, two-thirds of the members of police authorities should be
directly elected once every four years by the single transferable vote, and
one-third of the members should be nominated by councils that are crime and
disorder reduction partnerships in the force area".
Everyone clear about that? As with party proposals on tax and the accountability
of health services – and, if certain people have their way, on tuition fees next
March – the Lib Dems lumbered themselves with a policy that is wrong,
incomprehensible except to specialists, indistinct from the other parties and
likely to be neutral in its electoral impact since voters will be unaware of it.
These stances are symptomatic of two wider malaises. The first is a wish to
offend no-one because 'we can win everywhere'. We can't. The idea that such a
thing is possible for any party in such a diverse country as the UK is
self-evidently ludicrous, but this thinking has for years inhibited any
political boldness and definition in the party, with the exception of its stance
on the Iraq war.
The second is a misunderstanding of the role the party should play. The Liberal
Democrats, like their predecessor parties, were long derided as a protest party.
As the party has grown at local and parliamentary levels, there has been an
understandable desire to be seen as a 'party of government'.
But in its haste, the party has tried to omit the intervening stage of being a
party of opposition.
Instead of campaigning for distinct policies that will win the support of those
most likely to share its core values, the party acts as though it were already
in power, forced to make 'tough choices' (which it is not), to have mastered the
detailed intricacies (which it is not either) and obliged to act within
government spending plans (which it could do, but need not).
Both Labour and the Tories have embarked on courses that will make them
unpopular by being seen to wish to politicise the police overtly. And the
Liberal Democrats? Well they want to do the same, in some places but not others,
and only two-thirds of the authority, and probably only on Tuesdays when there
is a 'q' in the month.
There is indeed a democratic deficit in the present police authorities, and
letting councils, or groups of them, replace those authorities would seem not
merely a sensible and democratic solution but would be the one the party
defended when the police were removed from top-tier councils' oversight in the
The Damian Green affair showed just how far Labour has gone in turning Britain
into a police state – when the police can raid the Palace of Westminster without
troubling even to get a warrant. Taken with ID cards, the government's last
ditch defence of the DNA database until overruled by the European Court of Human
Rights and its 'snooping' legislation, it was another sign of what a menace to
liberty another term of Labour government would be.
Amid all this, the infuriating thing is that the Lib Dems got the reaction to
the Green affair right in defending MPs' independence, even if they happen to be
The party does have the right instincts and it can take moral stances based on
those. It is just that, most of the time, it refuses to do this because it is
too mesmerised by polls, by doomed attempts to satisfy conflicting interests and
by a wonkish obsession with policy detail.

Harlon Hill, the former star receiver for the Chicago Bears whose name adorns the NCAA Division II player of the year trophy, has died. He was 80.
Jeff Hodges, chairman of the National Harlon Hill Award Committee, says Hill died Thursday at Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital in Florence after a lengthy illness.
Hill, who attended North Alabama, was the NFL rookie of the year in 1954 after being drafted in the 15th round by the Bears, and became the first winner of the Jim Thorpe Trophy as the NFL's most valuable player in 1955. In nine seasons with the Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, he had 233 receptions for 4,717 yards and 40 touchdowns. He averaged 20.2 yards per catch.
The Harlon Hill Trophy has been presented in Florence for the past 27 years on the eve of the Division II championship game.
