Last year, Superintendent magazine began its Techno Revolution series, which focuses on the mechanical and scientific specialization that has occurred and continues to occur in golf course maintenance. The series focuses on the innovation that equipment and product manufacturers have introduced to the industry over the years. The goal of the series is to provide readers with insights of what's working at their peers' golf courses, in addition to sparking creative thinking for future innovation.
"It's one of the top three worst years I've ever seen," says Shaw, superintendent of The Bull at Pinehurst Farms in Sheboygan Falls, Wis. "It has been a long struggle."
The Bull at Pinehurst Farms was smack in the middle of the drought. It was a great year for golfers - and the club's increase in rounds reflect that - but it was a miserable year to maintain turfgrass. With the lack of rain, the club's irrigation system worked overtime. But it couldn't work miracles.
Chad Giebelhaus, superintendent at the Crooked Creek Golf Club in Lincoln, Neb., empathizes with what Shaw went through because he went through it, too.
"I've been here for going on nine years, and I've never seen anything like it," Giebelhaus says.
Nebraska was also hit by severe drought. The relative humidity and dew point was so low throughout the summer that Giebelhaus and his small crew were constantly watering in the battle to stop turfgrass from losing moisture.
When you water that much in such conditions, Shaw and Giebelhaus say a superintendent can get a good idea of how an irrigation system is performing.
"What you find out more than anything is the limitations of irrigation," Shaw says. "I don't care how good of an irrigation system you have, how well it's designed or how well it's installed, you can't put water on a golf course like Mother Nature can. It's nothing against the irrigation manufacturers, it's just the limitations of irrigation."
Says Giebelhaus: "We're a lot more efficient in how we apply our water, but at the same time golfers' expectations have gone up. When you get into an extreme situation like this, it doesn't matter what kind of irrigation system you have ... it's just tough to provide [excellent] conditions."
That said, the drought and the performance of their courses' irrigation systems allowed Shaw and Giebelhaus to assess such things as sprinklers and nozzles.
There were times in the summer, after watering for 20 straight days, where Shaw just wanted to change the arc of the water throw. But the only way to do it was to change the nozzles.
"And if you have to physically go through and undo a screw, pull a nozzle out and put a new one in, it can be impractical on a large scale," he says. "It's tedious, time consuming, and we don't tend to do it because we don't have the time and luxury to do it."
Shaw says he wishes there was a nozzle that could be turned or rotated to change its orifice size. It could be called "Dial And Click, he adds. The adjustable nozzle would be especially useful on a putting green to battle isolated dry spot, Shaw notes.
"It would be great if you could tweak a nozzle quickly so that you could concentrate more water much closer to the sprinkler head," he says. "Anytime we can take whatever we have out there - and twist or turn it and reinsert it and move on - that's what would make life a whole lot easier."
Giebelhaus says he never had to rely on irrigation for healthy turf as much as he did this summer. Subsequently, he had never performed an informal irrigation audit.
"I never put an importance on it," he adds. "Until I was forced to do it this year."
Giebelhaus has a small and inexperienced crew; he's the only full-time employee. But Giebelhaus knew it was vital to instruct seasonal employees to analyze how sprinklers and nozzles were performing. So they looked for nozzles that were spraying outside of the heads. What they found was sprinklers and nozzles that were in poor shape because they were old.
"There was one nozzle that was so worn out that it was shooting about 10 feet shorter than it should've been," Giebelhaus says.
The crew replaced about 50 nozzles and 70 O-rings on nozzles. Giebelhaus wonders how much water was wasted because of the leaky O-rings.
Giebelhaus would like to see irrigation nozzles that are more durable and last longer. And if parts on an irrigation head do wear out, he would like to see them made more accessible to be able to replace.
"Certain parts will wear out, and I don't want to junk the whole head and replace it if a specific part in general is wearing out," he says.
Both superintendents also say sprinklers can be improved even more to irrigate more efficiently into the wind. Most of the holes on Crooked Creek run north and south, and the wind oftentimes blows from the east and west in the evening. Giebelhaus would like to have sprinkler nozzles that can irrigate through the wind with little drift.
"You don't want real fine water droplets when you're trying to irrigate," he says.
Shaw says sprinklers could also be equipped with different speeds, including a fast speed to throw water into a prevailing wind.
"A multispeed sprinkler head would be unique," he says. "I know there have been a few on the market, but they haven't had the success that we as the end users would like to see."
While they are suggesting what can be improved, Shaw and Giebelhaus are amazed at how much irrigation systems have improved over the years. Shaw remembers the manual systems and having to screw in the quick couplers. He once worked at a course where the irrigation system wasn't "live" and the pumps had to be "fired up" every night to water. Interestingly, Shaw believes courses didn't put down as much water back in those days.
"But the turf wasn't as pretty and green," he adds.
The irrigation manufacturers have kept up with the times well and introduced forward-thinking, Shaw says.
"I think of the original impact sprinklers we used compared to what we have today, and it's like night and day. Today's sprinklers have made life a lot easier," he says.
What Shaw likes about current sprinkler technology is that he doesn't have to do a lot of work on the heads, such as changing a solenoid.
He also likes that new sprinklers don't have to be dug up for service or repair. The internal components can be pulled from a case that's in the ground.
"It's not only the time and effort it takes to dig it up, but then we never get the sprinklers quite as level as they were originally," Shaw says.
Shaw likes that irrigation manufacturers realize that time is money for superintendents.
"The more they go that direction, the better off golf courses will be," he says.
What's impressed Giebelhaus over the years is how versatile an irrigation system can operate, including sprinklers and nozzles, to achieve the right amount of moisture.
"We don't realize what the technology has done for golf courses in general when it comes to turf quality," he adds.

Ok. I have been pondering the last few threads on Kubiak stay or go and something kept standing out. I believe I saw somewhere that Kubiak is a self-admitted micro-manager. Now as one that has worked for a micro-manager, I propose that fact alone would explain why the Texans can't get over the hump.
A few self-observed "facts" if you will,
A micro-manager,
- Kills moral
- Makes everyone in the organization under him afraid to think outside the box or even suggest an idea of their own (as in PLAY MOATS INSTEAD OF THE SCREW UP FOR CHRIST SAKE! *yes I used caps on purpose*)
- Nothing is done in the organization without being approved by said micro-manager (would explain the time it takes plays to make it onto the field, the poor clock management, the inability to make adjustments on the fly)
- Makes everyone in the organization doubt themselves
I am missing many, many more points. I can tell you though that a micro-manager makes for, at best, a mediocre organization. If Kubiak is a micro-manager, it is amazing we have improved to this point, but to go further, the Texans must have someone who can delegate and allows his assistants to assist. Kubiak is getting overwhelmed during the game, short and simple, thus the in-ability to make adjustments during half-time, much less on the fly in the middle of a quarter.

A Rutherford County man charged with killing his wife on Valentine's Day inside their Murfreesboro home may face the death penalty in his murder charge. Jacob Pearman, 30, appeared in front of Rutherford County Judge David Bragg for a plea hearing for an aggravated child abuse charge and for a hearing on a motion he filed for a speedy trial in connection with his first degree murder charge. Pearman is charged with killing his wife Carla, 30, on February 14 during an argument inside their Murfreesboro home. The couple had been married three months. Prior to the murder, police charged Pearman for aggravated child abuse in connection to his wife's seven-year-old son, in December 2012.The boy was removed from the home. According to police, Pearman confessed to killing his wife during an argument about Carla Pearman's son.According to the taped confession, Pearman said his wife told him her son could not return to the home while he was still living in the house.In court, Pearman's attorney Luke Evans argued that prosecutors delayed presenting Pearman's murder case to the grand jury until May and that violates his client Constitutional right to a speedy trial. "We don't want there to be an issue of this lingering," he said. "What we will be suggesting to the court is setting a trial date in this matter for January."Prosecutors want to set a trial for the aggravated child abuse charge first and the murder trial second. Rutherford County District Attorney General William Whitesell said he wants to try the child abuse charge first because that arrest happened first. Whitesell said trying the child abuse charge first may influence how the prosecution tries the murder case. "It would also be an aggravating circumstance if the state decides this is capital death penalty case," he said. "This case is not duly delayed compared to other murder cases that come before the court."Judge Bragg said before ruling on the speedy trial motion that the defendant had to meet four criteria, including length of the delay, if the defendant asked for a speedy trial, would the delay create prejudice and what is the reason for the delay. The judge ruled that only one criterion was met and that was Pearman requested a speedy trial. The judge denied the motion. The judge also ruled the prosecution can try the child abuse charge first if they choose. Outside of court Pearman's attorney said the fight to keep the child abuse trial from influencing the murder trial will continue. "That appears to be an intentional decision in an effort to possibly take [Pearman's] life," Evans said. "Obviously setting the trial dates is still going to be a contested issue and what order they are going to be set."Both attorneys agreed to return to court next Friday to set trial dates for both the aggravated child abuse charge and the first degree murder charge.

text: I feel more disappointed today than I did after the bears game. We beat ourselves! Both our offense and defense played sloppy. The playcalling was just horrid at times...Seriously with 15 secs left u let the clock run down and take a field goal...i just don't understand. The plays just seemed so vanilla, we should just play no huddle the entire game cus it seems tahts the only way we can move the ball. I can't seem to comprehend why calvin is not incorprated into the game plan. I understand he might be double teamed most of the game but aren't most of the elite wideouts in the game. Moss, Andre, Fitz, etc usually seem to fight outta those double teams and make plays. I just don't see the fire in CJ, especially after he got robbed in the first game. I wouldve thought he would want to make a point after that game and just tear it up, but i guess not. I know i can't fully blame him but the guy is 6'5 and really fast I'm sure he can make a play. Today was the first time I questioned why I'm a lions fan after 18 years of following this team. Even though we lost the first 2 weeks, I feel like we took a big step back this game, especially with all the mistakes that were made. I still have hope, and can't wait to see what Stafford can do when he gets back. It just upsets me when I see teams like the chiefs turn it around, when I feel we have better talent than them. I know u guys all are feeling the pain of another season looking to be going downhill when we all expected so much more from these guys.

For 25 years, Chance Geving has been giving orders at the gym. "Down slow now; good, let's run," he encourages his clients. The personal trainer leads group fitness out of Body Fuel Fitness gym in Sparks. While his clients are used to hearing him shout out exercises, there is something most of them have not heard – his singing voice. "It's kind of been a shock for everybody," Chance says with a smile.
Chance helped write a song that is getting quite a bit of attention on YouTube right now. It is called Santa Gonna Be Happy and it was inspired by a story his mother, Kathy Rasley used to tell him as a child. "She used to tell me that elves would peak in the windows, watching us to make sure we'd be good for Christmas."
Kathy started writing the song a few years ago with Chance's help. Chance then called on producer, Tom Gordon of Imirage Sound Lab and local musician, Erika Paul to bring the score to life. "It's actually beyond my expectations. I thought it was going to be kind of cute. It ended up being rock meets jazz!"
Now Chance is hoping the song goes viral; not just for himself, but for all the less fortunate in our community. Every time someone downloads Santa Gonna Be Happy on iTunes, a portion of the sale will go straight to the Food Bank of Northern Nevada. He decided to donate a portion to charity because the economy has hurt many people in our area. "A lot of people I know have lost jobs. They hated having to use the food bank, but they had to. I've come close."
The catchy tune is Chance's way to give. He says he might not have a lot of extra cash to donate, but he can share his talent. So, whether it's raising money or just putting a smile on your face, he hopes you will stop this holiday season for a listen. "It's catchy! It makes you want to dance. I listen to it way too much!"

Disgraced peer wins court compensation fight
Disgraced Tory peer Lord Hanningfield who was jailed for a House of Lords expenses fiddle won a landmark victory today in a damages claim against Essex Police. He was awarded £3,500 in damages by one of the country's top judges.
The 72-year-old peer had claimed his arrest over the alleged fraudulent use of the corporate credit card while leader of Essex County Council was unlawful and unnecessary.
This morning one of the High Court's most senior judges, Mr Justice David Eady, ruled that the chief constable of Essex Police had failed to meet the requirements of "necessity" for a summary arrest.
After the judge gave his ruling on the short comings of the police the two sides agreed damages in the sum of £3,500 as compensation for the arrest, search and period of detention.
Lord Hanningfield told ITV News' Elodie Harper that he would donate any winnings to charity.
The Judge said:
– Justice David Eady
"Summary arrest was never going to have any impact on the prompt and effective investigation of Lord Hanningfield's credit card expenses. It is not for a judge to second guess the operational decisions of experienced police officers, but in the circumstances of this case I cannot accept that there was any rational basis for rejecting alternative procedures. There was simply no solid grounds to suppose that he would suddenly start to hide or destroy evidence or that he would make inappropriate contact. There was only the theoretical possibility that he might do so. " can therefore see no justification for by-passing all the usual statutory safe-guards involved in obtaining a warrant."
Turning to the lawfulness of Lord Hanningfield's detention at Braintree police station on the morning of 14 December he added that it was acknowledged by lawyers for the police that if the original arrest was unlawful the subsequent detention could not be regarded in itself as lawful. Lord Hanningfield had told the judge when the case was heard last week that he was "traumatised" and almost had a breakdown following his arrest and detention in September 2011. He had been out of prison for just a few days after serving nine weeks of a nine month sentence imposed at Chelmsford Crown Court last July after he was found guilty of six counts of false accounting and ordered to pay back more than £30,000. He said of the House of Lords offences that he admitted he made "some mistakes", but never claimed for hotels as alleged and was treated more severely than other peers who were just allowed to pay back expenses. But said he had to accept he was convicted by the jury and sent to jail. As for the alleged credit card fraud , he said the allegation was "ridiculous." He was accused of running up £300,000 expenses on the card. But following the police investigation the inquiry was dropped and he was never charged. Lord Hanningfield told the judge:
– Lord Hanningfield
I have given 40 years of my life to public service. The last few years have been so traumatic for me . I may seem strong at times , but it has been very traumatic. It has been like a tsunami overwhelming me. I don't want to talk about it."
Lord Hanningfield, real name Paul White, was elevated to the House of Lords in 1998 and served as a Tory Whip and Opposition spokesman on education and transport.

Italian TV presenter Simona Ventura attended the 2010 Monte Carlo Rose Ball in Monaco this weekend.
You may remember her as a regular on the red carpet during last years Cannes Film Festival.
I was really happy to see her wearing the blue zebra print Armani Privé Fall 2009 gown I've been longing to see on the red carpet.
Many of you have also wished to see this sequined gown worn by Anne Hathway or Cate Blanchett.
I love the fringed beading on the shoulders and how Simona's curves fill this stunning creation.
Red lips and a black clutch complete this look.
I think we have our first contender for BDOTW.

"I JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT TIM HUDSON IS UP TO IN VICTORIA" Sounds to me like she has her own agenda. Wonder what she is after? Hudson has proven his worth just look at his record. I sure hope everyone remembers what Khator did and does not reward her for such childish behavior. In my eyes she is a back stabber.October 4, 2010 at 1 p.m.
Ok why wouldn't anyone want to look towards the future? He is right the college has little room to grow. It has limited space with a expanding hospital and a very well established neighborhood. Its poorly located and needs to be put in a area that it can grow. The current site can continue to be a jr campus. It would be awesome to have a major University built on 100 acres of land. Just think of the economic growth and the jobs that would be established for the community! I think that UH made a major mistake and are setting themself up for the 4 year program to fail. How sad. Victoria is going to keep growing and a University would be a great asset to us and the surrounding areas. At its current location enrollment is limited and space will become a major issue in the future!October 4, 2010 at 12:39 p.m.
Look, UH system has a big city to serve and lots of problems to resolve. Where the regents are concerned, UHV is an insignificant cog in a complex machine badly in need of an overhaul. Dear Chancellor, doesn't it make sense now to leave the "ingrates" here in Victoria to their own devices? Enough with the distractions. You've got tier one status to pursue.October 4, 2010 at 3:34 a.m.
"I am wondering how these emails got to victoria advocate"
I think a Texas Public Information Act request submitted by any concerned citizen would do the job.

I am wondering how these emails got to victoria advocate & is he actually working or are taxpayers paying for him to get paid for staying home. Things happen, people lose jobs, that is what unemployment insurance pays. Does anyone really think he will be "reassigned" to uhv again?October 4, 2010 at 1:23 a.m.
If the UH system has no interest in pursuing the real estate interests of the "leadership" of Victoria, WHO shows such an interest? As far as I've read, Victoria "leaders" are interested, but no school has shown such interest.October 3, 2010 at 11:01 p.m.
Dr. Hudson did an excellent job promoting the interests of UHV. The fact that a blog post he wrote only showed up on UH's radar two months AFTER he published it shows that the ladies and gentlemen in Houston were humoring those in the Victoria area interested in expansion. If nothing else, the emails show the sycophantic maneuverings of the administration to better their own positions in the university system. I particularly like the email about how "things will blow over soon" in Victoria. If anything, it sounds like they expect UHV and the Victoria area to be grateful for whatever scraps are thrown this way.
I say we take a closer look at other universities who actually want a presence in the south Texas area.October 3, 2010 at 9:24 p.m.
Excellent example of investigative journalism. Kudos to the Advocate and Gabe Semeza.October 3, 2010 at 3:09 p.m.
Amen Radiobabe!!October 3, 2010 at 2:32 p.m.
Good job Advocate. This is the type of reporting that most of us want to see regardless of how we feel about a subject. Now how about reguesting emails from our city / county officials concerning any contact between them and the land owner out by the airport (push for UHV expansion), Citizens Medical Center Administration concerning the cardiologist or between the school board / school administration / DJ Janynes concerning the dance team???October 3, 2010 at 9:35 a.m.
Well thanks to the tenacity of the Advocate we are closer to the truth. It has never made sense why you would take a can do guy out of the picture just when the fuse was lit. But I suspected as much. It just has never made sense. And if UHV is a drag on UHS then let's say our it's been fun, say our goodbyes, wish each other well and everybody get on down the road. Divorces can be messy but boy most times everybody usually comes out ahead if they will not claw at the doors that closed but look for the doors that open. I mean we owe a lot to UHS for sure and then sometimes it is time to move on. And IMHO we owe even more to Tim Hudson. Tim Hudson painted a picture that a lot of us can see. If you can see it you can do it. Let us not get caught up in who is going to make the $$ off where ever a campus is built but let's concentrate on a can do partner who wants to dance. Why can't we think big and find a bigger thinker? All of the pieces will come together when you've got the right partner. Whether you like it or not there is a prediction for the projected growth of Texas to be 44 million some years down the road. Where will those students be educated? Why not here? I take my hat off to Tim Hudson. He pushed the envelop and has certainly pointed out the possibilities. I appreciate his leadership in traveling a rough road. And it cost him dearly. I call on the leadership all the way up to state representative Morrison and state senator Hegar to our local elected and business leaders to look to the future knowing what our real relationship is with UHS, make some hard decisions, then find us another university system to achieve what the future is going to demand. This increase in demand for upper level education is going to happen we just need to decide if we want to be a part of it. I think we have a responsibility to be the best we can be and certainly to make Victoria and the Crossroads Area to be the best it can be. It will make the entire crossroads area healthy for many years to come. It will not come with our present partner. They have told us so!! We just have to believe them, move on and get with it!! There are other partners to dance with.October 3, 2010 at 9:04 a.m.
I am pretty certain that Tim Hudson is NOT the type of man or leader to allow himself to get caught in the crossfire!
This community needs to recognize and appreciate the sacrifice he made in doing what was in the best interests of the Victoria region. It's time we let our representatives, Geanie Morrison and Glen Hagar, know that we're not happy with UH System's lack of interest in our community, the firing of an exceptional man who accomplished incredible things in his job, and their lying to us at every turn.October 3, 2010 at 9:04 a.m.
"I think Tim Hudson was caught in a position in which he was probably getting a lot of local pressure and pressure from the system," Golden said. "He got put in the crossfire, in my opinion."
Our local "leaders" at work. Got a good man fired
Thats what you get in a small townOctober 3, 2010 at 7:59 a.m.
very, very interesting. the emails only prove what was very obvious to many, the u of h system doesn't seem to have dynamic growth plans for uh-v.
imo, hudson did an excellent job in his time at uh-v, he'll be hard to replace. you must also wonder if the system is going to replace him with a puppet that will attempt to nix major growth/expansion plans.
im beginning to understand why local officials are interesting in re-aligning with another university system and it has much bigger implications than developing land east of town.October 3, 2010 at 5:55 a.m.
Hudson is an EMPLOYEE of the UH-System. No employer wants a employee to publicly disagree and work against their stated position. The UH System had every right to remove Hudson for his insubordination. He should be grateful they did not fire him outright. Instead, they apparently created a new position for him...at taxpayer expense.October 3, 2010 at 4:52 a.m.

U.S. stocks were trading mixed Wednesday, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average added a point to 14933, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index shed five points to 1609, and the Nasdaq Composite was essentially flat at 3433. Among the companies with shares actively trading in Wednesday's session are Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (MJN), Ezcorp Inc. (EZPW) and temporary staffing firms.
Mead Johnson ($68.58, -$6.33, -8.44%) received a pair of downgrades following reports Tuesday that China is investigating foreign makers of baby formula for possible price fixing and anticompetitive activity. Wells Fargo cut Mead Johnson to market perform, saying that while the investigation is likely manageable, the "negative impact on investor sentiment shouldn't be overlooked." Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs removed Mead Johnson from its conviction buy list and downgraded the company to neutral.
Sterne Agee upgraded pawnshop operator Ezcorp ($18.24, +$0.82, +4.71%) to buy, saying "we are not big fans of market-sentiment indicators, but when the news is bad and both the group and the individual stock in question move higher, we pay attention." The investment bank added that Ezcorp could be compelled to repurchase stock and is likely to feel "limited" earnings impact for now from gold's drop.
Shares of temporary staffing firms and hospitals dropped after the White House said it will delay enforcing a provision of the new health-care law that requires large employers to provide coverage for workers or pay a penalty in 2014. "This pushes out any incremental demand from healthcare reform by a year," said Deutsche Bank in a note to clients, adding that the news is a negative for both Robert Half International Inc. (RHI, $31.18, -$2.12, -6.37%) and TrueBlue Inc. (TBI, $21.13, -$0.66, -3.03%). On Assignment Inc. (ASGN, $26.81, -$0.64, -2.33%) also fell. Hospital stocks also dropped, including HCA Holdings Inc. (HCA, $35.95, -$0.96, -2.60%), Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC, $44.00, -$1.62, -3.55%) and Universal Health Services Inc. (UHS, $66.05, -$2.17, -3.17%).
Other Stocks To Watch:
UBS upgraded ARM Holdings PLC (ARMH, $37.19, +$0.78, +2.14%)(ARM.LN) to buy from neutral, calling the U.K.-based chip maker's pullback on the recent newsflow overdone and adding that nothing has fundamentally changed in the company's investment case. The firm said that several positives remain, including ARM's ability to penetrate new areas like networking and microcontrollers, and to benefit from low end smart-phone adoption.
Embattled beauty company Avon Products Inc. (AVP, $20.88, -$0.41, -1.93%) said it would sell its struggling jewelry business for $85 million in cash, removing another drag on its performance as it works to turn itself around under Chief Executive Sheri McCoy.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its long-term ratings on Barclays Bank PLC (BCS, $16.84, -$0.19, -1.12%)(BARC.LN), Credit Suisse AG (CS, $26.06, -$0.81, -3.01%)(CSGN.VX) and Deutsche Bank AG (DB, $40.14, -$0.99, -2.41%)(DBK.XE) by a notch, citing increasing risks facing Europe's large banks as regulators and uncertain market conditions continue to make operating in the industry more difficult.
Entropic Communications Inc. (ENTR, $4.16, -$0.16, -3.70%) unveiled a restructuring plan which includes a 10% reduction in its global workforce as the chip maker also said it expects second-quarter revenue at the lower end of its previous guidance.
International Speedway Corp.'s (ISCA, $33.63, +$1.12, +3.45%)(ISCB, $33.32, +$0.00, +0.00%) fiscal second-quarter profit rose 63% on lower debt-related charges, while the racetrack operator's revenue edged down slightly.
Walgreen Co.'s (WAG, $43.66, -$0.80, -1.80%) same-store sales rose 2.3% in June, boosted by continued improved performance in the pharmacy section, though the drugstore chain reported another drop in same-store customer traffic. In a note to clients, analysts at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey recently said Wall Street expected a 3.1% increase in same-store sales.

For awhile now I have been pondering the star system here on MP and its efficacy as a valid rating system. I have found the system all to vague and under informative. As a community do we base our ratings on the individual crag, state wide, country, or global comparisons? I for one am for the star system only rating for the individual crags. How often can you compare on location to another? I find the experience of Sedona much different than Winslow Wall, yet they are both sandstone and in Arizona. By focusing the rating system to a local area, they can more accurately guide potential ascensionists to both the quality and experience of a route. By starting this thread I was hoping to get some insight into others opinion on the system and how we might improve the system to more accurately evaluate the routes we climb.
If I had to guess, most people put the route in a "local area context" when assigning 1-3 stars... but reserve the 4 star rating for truly exceptional routes that would be classic anywhere. At least that's what I do :)
I find the word descriptions very useful when assigning stars (OK=1, Good=2, Great=3, and Classic=4). It works best within an area. However, sometimes even the best route at a crappy area doesn't deserve a 4 (or even a 3).
I try to go for a little more universal rating, with some bending for regional differences. I don't base them on just the local crag though. Putting three stars on a crappy route just because it is the best at a choss heap cliff or best in Kansas isn't helpfull. I think the stars should help people decide whether it is worth driving 3 hrs or hiking in 6 miles to a crag. The 4 star ratings are probably over used a lot. They should really make you go 'Wow!' IMO, 3 is really good, 2 pretty good but not super outstanding, 1 OK. Maybe we need a "World Class" 5 star rating for routes like Astroman.
I think routes on MP tend to get way over starred most of the time. First, I must define how I break places up. It goes World>Area>Crag. For example, Indian Creek is an area and 4x4 wall is a crag. The way my star system works is as follows: 4 stars - World Classic. This is one of the best routes in the world. Few climbs deserve 4 stars. This route is so good that you go to the area just to climb this line. For example, you go to Indian Creek to climb Jolly Rancher, Spaghetti Western, Optimator, and Broken Brain. 3 stars - Area Classic. This is one of the best routes in the area. This route is good enough to merit spending a day a the crag which contains this climb provided that you are already in the area. For example, you go to 2nd Meat Wall to climb Extra Lean or to Optimator Wall to climb Annunaki. 2 stars - Crag Classic. This is one of the best routes at the crag. This route is good enough that you have to do it if you are already at the crag. For example, if you are already at Way Rambo, then you have to do Blue Sun and Fuzz. This is what most great climbs are. 1 star - This is a fun route that is worth doing. Not a classic by any means but not bad. This is what most good climbs are. Wounded Knee at Way Rambo is an example of a 1 star route. 0 stars - This climb is not worth climbing. Most routes at Seneca and Mt. Lemmon fall into this category.
"Beauty in things exists merely in the mind which contemplates them." David Hume, Essays, Moral and Political, 1742
I really like the idea of a 5th "World Class" star
Rafael is right. The stars tell us what we are supposed to climb and where. This can help eliminate that uncomfortable feeling of adventure, risk, or the unknown
Aren't you kind of reading the MP descriptions to find out about the route though? If you are looking for more adventure by stepping into the unknown, wouldn't you skip the guide or ignore the rating and head out anyway? The ratings are for those who want to know or at least have some idea. I love exploring, but not everybody does. You are always going to get a range of opinions on a route.
True, but giving high stars to an obscure new place can help get fools like myself out there to rate it with world view in mind. Ideally the stars would settle into the role you're talking about. What really gets me is when old, trampled crags have routes with 4 stars that are nowhere near world class, just based on there popular history.
My problem is I love climbing so much half the routes I do are classic to me! Sometimes I'll go back later and change my star ratings after repeating a route or something, but often it's based off my opinion the day I climbed it, and they're always classic right after you do them haha. Overall I'd say I rate on local basis more than a world basis. I also like the idea of a 'World Class' 5th star.
OK=1, Good=2, Great=3, and Classic=4 seems pretty self-explanatory. In looking at the user patterns, there are definitely 2 groups: those to do this using a big picture (global, country-wild) or those who do this on a small picture (crag specific) method. Both seem to be acceptable to the individual user. Personally, I find the big picture method more useful; however, I understand that it takes a while for many folks to get enough breadth of exposure to even reasonably try to do this. There are plenty of crags where there are no three star (let alone 4 star routes). There are crags where there aren't even 2 (or even maybe 1) star routes. For example, even though I go to N. Table Mt. in Golden where lots of climbers go...honestly, there isn't really a 3 star route up there. Most routes are less than 50 feet tall, when it is really hard to get a "great" route rating. There isn't a route that I would travel more than an hour to do, unless I was desperate. Still, it is a convenient, warm in cold & sunny conditions crag. 4 star routes, IMHO, are those routes where you would recommend your buddy living a plane flight away, paying the money to fly just to do that route...and your buddy would be happy to have paid the money and done the route. 3 star routes, IMHO, are those you'd travel 2-4 hours just to do the route, and you'd be happy you did that after completing the route. 2 star routes, IMHO, are good routes that you'd probably recommend to a local climber to do. 1 star routes, IMHO, are okay routes, ones that you'd do if you were there and looking for yet another route to climb and wanted to do something you hadn't done yet. 0 star routes, IMHO, are ones you have to be desperate and in the right mind set to actually do...but you probably would recommend against it to even the desperate. 5 stars...that seems to be for folks who don't want to get constrained in a 4 star system, like those who say give it 110% effort. Uh...maybe if we had 2 people to give 55% each? Those who can't get keep their personal expenses inside their fiscal budgets. We did have this problem from before when we jumped from the 3 star system to the 4 star system. All those previous 0-3 star ratings lost some of their meaning. I don't recommend changing it to a 5 star system with all the ratings we already have in our database.
Do the stars let me know which climbs are considered better than others? Yes. Seems like they are working just fine as is.
I look at the words (ok, good, great, classic) associated with each star rating. These are words I would use in a description a route. I, however, also frequently use the phrase 'don't bother' and so I'm a little conflicted sometimes if that translates to a bomb or one star. I usually try to use a flat distribution of an equal number of routes to each star rating.
I have a problem when someone gives a route four stars because they had a great experience on the route. I had a great experience climbing a route with my girlfriend. The route sucked but the experience was four star. (no details) It really bugs me when someone gives a pile of crap 4 stars because they had a great time climbing it. If I showed up at a crag and went to do one of these things I would be pissed! Oh wait, I did that last year. I have been guilty of over starring routes. If a crag is mediocre, like some enchanted towers in NM for example, it is okay to have the highest star rating be only two stars. I wouldn't go out of my way to climb there but if I was in the area I would climb there.
The stars are a guide to which routes have the longest lines. Picking a route is like picking a stock: you want one that is great but undervalued by the rest of the community.
why is it when the star system gets up into the project territory(5.12+++++) almost everything has 3-4 stars?

SAM™ Nozzles – External Mix/Flat Fan or Narrow Round
December 12, 2005
SAM™ nozzles feature separate atomizing and fan air lines that provide variable coverage and fine control of droplet size without affecting liquid flow rates. Higher atomizing air pressures yields finer droplet size; higher fan air pressure yields broader patterns. External mix makes the SAM the nozzle of choice when spraying viscous liquids.

Importing content from another website
I am looking for a script in php that can extract content between a <div> tag with a specified ID from an external website onto another website.
External website has a property listing and on that page they have a div called "propertytitle" and in that div the text says "New property for sale". How would I grab that text (New property for sale) from in between the div tags and display it on my website?
And I will just add I do have permission to use this content
Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like I found what I am after... well a start anyway. I can't post the link to the resource, but if anyone is interested look at the PHP function file_get_contents() or fopen() and you can also use CURL.

Scott Hairston Interview (MP3)
Hairston talking about how happy he was to be traded to San Diego and how differently he feels being traded to Oakland. He's going to miss the people of San Diego the most. I'm bummed out just from listening to how sad he sounds. Somebody take his belt and shoe laces from him.

Which post-hype sleeper do you think will end up having more success in the majors when all is said and done, Oakland 1B Daric Barton or Pittsburgh OF Lastings Milledge?
Barton's having a nice little late season run in Oakland, and in doing so has at least played himself into strong consideration for a starting job with the A's next season. Milledge is not playing extremely well for the Pirates, but this change of scenery could pay off dividends in the long run. Let's hear some thoughts.

Company News
Gatineau/Hull Storage
We have received a lot of great feedback from our Quebec customers about our central location and how easy it was to store their goods in our state-of-the-art storage facility. We just wanted to pass on the word to other customers looking for storage in Gatineau, Hull, and Aylmer that we are just across the Champlain Bridge, Portage and Chaudière Bridges and will literally only take you minutes to get here from the Quebec side.
New Just Right Self Storage Website
We are excited to celebrate the recent launch of our newly designed website for our self storage facility in downtown Ottawa. We have made several improvements to the site in order to make information more accessible to our customers, more streamlined, and provide new interactive services such as our online storage space calculator.
