What I love most about being a trainer is hearing the stories about how people are growing, learning and succeeding with the help of CBT Nuggets. Sales enablement is especially gratifying because I have spent more than 25 years in the field as a sales person. I have lived through the challenges and highs of closing the big sale. I can also understand running at hyper-speed, having a calendar packed with meetings, and spending lonely hours in the car or in the hotel room working on the big proposal way past midnight. My passion is to help sales people thrive in a new and quickly evolving environment. The technologies are changing. This is causing our buying and selling processes to change as well. My goal as a CBT Nugget trainer is to help sales people succeed at selling in the new age. I've had the good fortune of working on some of the best sales teams in the world. ( e.g. Oracle, Dell, EMC, SunGard, Hilton & Omni Hotels ) My training will leverage this background to cover sales methodology, using Salesforce.com, mobile devices and apps that can help sales people blow out their number! Outside of the training world I am married to my wife Malinda, have two amazing, grown kids, Jim & Anne, and play guitar and sing with a great band of brothers called Torn. We're a bunch of music ministry guys that got together and decided to take it outside the church!! We're having a blast! God bless, and good selling to you!

The Cribs new reference-heavy video for "Glitters Like Gold" may indeed exhibit VHS-like production qualities on the surface, but what's kind of novel about the video is that the Pop-Up Video insets that they co-opt link out to other clips. The pop-up graphic about Ryan liking bowling links out to a video of someone (presumably Ryan) bowling for two hours. The one about Ross liking sandwiches without crusts links out to a video of Ross making a sandwich and cutting off the crust. And, so forth. Andy Knowles and Stephen Agnew direct. Watch it below.

Hello folks,
I've found an interessting article on cardgamedb (http://www.cardgamed...knights-of-r219). There is a burn deck described with the KotHH agenda. Actually I'm working on a summer jumper deck using the burn theme. A central idea is to use three times summer encampment to reuse Dragon Knight, Bloodrider, Red Warlock and some other characters. But I feel I would need about four to six influence per round to play this game.
So actually I'm asking myself: Kings of summer (hello draw!) or Knights of the Hollow Hill (hello two influence!)? But the points is playing KotHH I've got to use first snow of winter, rule by decree or an early valar to clean up the missing setup. In that case a black raven may come into play on round three? Far too late in my opinion. With KoS I have to play a lot more influence-providing locations and Fleeing to the Wall or Favorable Ground will knock me down totally and a bad draw may end the game quickly too.
After two days of thinking without any result I'm ready to delete the deck and build another maester deck… but maybe you have some suggestion to me?

These days it's not enough to just listen to the music at your favorite festival; you should be providing the amplification as well. Twenty-five cyclists biked 200 miles to Gaia Festival, a three-day music and sustainable-living festival in Mendocino County north of San Francisco, last August. And they didn't stop pedaling once they got there. Instead, they hopped on 12 bikes to provide renewable energy for the stage—cranking out enough juice for mics, loudspeakers, monitors, and 2,000-watt subwoofers. Get a peek at the video chronicling the cyclists' experiences, to be screened at the Portland Bike Film Festival in April.
Building a Smarter Horn
Beyond the jangly bike bell, cyclists don't have a whole lot of options for letting people—especially drivers—know they're coming. With more cyclists than ever in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Tory Orzeck figured it was time to do something about that. By studying bell, noise, and whistle sounds that elicit the greatest human response, his Orp SmartHorn team developed a horn with options for a low-volume "courtesy" alert at 76dB (comparable to living-room music), and a high-volume urgent alert at 96dB (a noise on par with a power mower). While the accessory won't win a fashion award, the SmartHorn—which also includes a light—at least gives riders better odds of getting home safe.
A Drivetrain That Once Drove
Most cyclists turn to their neighborhood shop for spare parts. Artists from the Spanish creative agency Lola Madrid visit the local junkyard. Through its Bicycled project, the Lola Madrid crew converts totaled cars into handmade bikes. Chains come from transmission belts, reflective lights are old turn signals, and seatpost clamps are repurposed from door handles. Because of this highly unusual sourcing, every bike is one-of-a-kind. Lola Madrid promotes an efficient, ecological and healthy lifestyle with the bikes. The heart of its mission: Turning a gas-guzzler into a green machine.

…for my story, "Living the Moment." In which the reviewer explains why the story squicked them in a way that warns other people who might share their issue. Since we were recently talking about how to write negative reviews so that they'll help people decide whether they want to read a story, I thought I'd link to it! Go check it out.
(And yes… the reviewer's right. That story's pretty much a no-holds-barred look at our problems with intimacy, and even if it's alien intercourse, it's still, well, sex. Actually I'll take it as a compliment that my description of alien sex came across as too intimate to be watched!)

I did a search and nothing came up. I'm surprised. I may have it. The neuro-opthalmologist says the symptoms say yes, the tests say no. Now, I also have cancer and chemo, so he says to 'wait and see'. Both eyes have double vision on the sides. Is anyone familiar with this? Very frustrating. Ruth Ann |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you by any chance take meds for chloresteral? They can cripple you. That happened to my neighbor and by the time he found another doctor it was to late to regain muscle strength. |
My mother has been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis for 29 years (she's now 66) and I remember it being a 3 year ordeal for her before she was correctly diagnosed! Grrr!!! Her earliest symptoms were extreme fatigue from normal activities, chronic shortness of breath and muscle weakness from normal exertion, double vision, etc. I don't know if this disease is still as misdiagnosed as it was back then, but you may want to find a neuro who specializes in myasthenia - I know from my mom's case that the correct diagnosis and treatment is crucial for long-term prognosis. The very best of luck to you - my mom's proof that this can be a manageable disease that still allows a high quality of life, and I hope your case will be proof of that too! Many hugs! |

Local acts celebrate Kurt Cobain at Fortune Sound Club's Nirvana Night
Friday (April 5) marks the 19th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, though it's the life of the singer-songwriter that will be celebrated at Fortune Sound Club's Nirvana Night. Following a screening of Benjamin Shapiro's documentary "I Hate Myself & I Want to Die", local acts including War Baby, the Belle Game, and Humans will put loving spins on some Cobain-penned classics.
War Baby guitarist-vocalist Jon Redditt told the Straight he was listening to "shit like Paula Abdul and LL Cool J" before Nirvana came along. "It was totally confusing to me at first, but I really loved it. It seemed dangerous."
While No Sinner or electro-pop outfit Humans could conceivably tweak the template, the already grunge-leaning War Baby's covers will, well, come as they are. "We have that influence like crazy, so I think there should be one band that does a straight-up cover," he said.

23 June The Edge: Riding Hot Oil Stocks
"This is a very high-risk industry where only 10% to 15% of the wells drilled contain oil or gas and the rest are dry. But compared with other players, we have a much lower risk because we use satellite technology that allows us to generate higher –resolution maps and zoom in on relevant areas where there is potential to find O&G." … "Because of this edge in knowing where to explore for oil, we are able to look at a lot more opportunities compared with other companies. Last year, we looked at more than 100 potential contracts. This year, we plan to look at 200 in selected jurisdictions, and we are striving for a success rate of 50%. We will continue to focus on adding exploration assets to our portfolio, but will also look at producing assets that can generate income in fiscally attractive jurisdictions," says Måns Lidgren, CEO of Rex International.

Sep 3rd 2011 10:18AM I've got screenshots from random landscapes to 4 maning horde bosses and some from icc raid bosses. I also used to have some videos from the raids from two guilds, unfortunately most of them are lost as guild website shutdown after the guild disbanded but i have a few on youtube and it is funny how bad i used to be. Until i discovered the addon Multishot i used to forget to screenshot good moments but this addon is lovely as it takes screenshots from anything from dinging a new level to dungeons and raids. I have no idea how many i have on my laptop but it is nice looking back and remembering those good times even if they are over with those players.

Twitter developer chat for April 16, 2010, organized by category {WoW}
Apr 17th 2010 6:33AM So the Tree of Life as a cooldown is getting uglier, great :S
Shifting Perspectives: The forest and the trees {WoW}
Apr 14th 2010 5:33AM that i think is a great idea, many people love the tree form and since there has been such an upcry by many i think this is true for a lot of people, tho obviously not all. But why should the ToL go for the majority of people, when it is only some that have been complaining about the ugliness of the ToL.
I agree those who dont like ToL get a minor glyph to stay in caster form. But with every class you knew the deal, all classes have their unique abilities that are the very essence of that class, ToL is one of them.
I don't think that Blizzard are gonna have a great time removing this tree for what seems like purely pvp reasons. Personally I hate pvp, but I understand how people could enjoy it, but I don't think pve should be penalised for pvp and vice versa.
If the ToL is not that compelling or useful (though I don't see how it differs from moonkin or spriest), then revamp it to make it more better.
Most people were not saying remove ToL to a silly trinket type thing, but instead update the model. Ghostcrawler said that there was some discussion about this which helped them see what people thought of ToL (though it wasnt a poll) could someone have mentioned when this discussion was happening, because if it had an impact on the future of ToL and my druid I think i would have liked a heads up.
More Cataclysm change details for druids {WoW}
Apr 11th 2010 5:52AM If Blizzard were looking at both sides of the argument, why are they now just looking at the idea of a minor glyph for ToL, why wasn't this already included for those who like their tree form, it seems to me that they are backtracking on themselves.
The idea of a minor glyph sounds good, but I still feel kinda of betrayed, I love that tree form even if it looks kinda ugly sometimes.
I would have much rather that instead of removing it to a cooldown they revamped it, and if it wasn't as useful they give it something like the cats or bears.
I feel kinda of defeated, because I don't see how those who love the tree form were listened to, except after much complaints, they MIGHT consider a minor glyph.
I think a lot of people who levelled their druid to be a tree, will be moving onto other classes and so that will mean the druid class will drop.
Cataclysm Class Changes: Druid {WoW}
Apr 10th 2010 4:19AM And at start of raid and dungeon you shift into cat, or bea, or moonkin and do not shift out of it, how is ToL different.
Cataclysm Class Changes: Druid {WoW}
Apr 9th 2010 11:36PM A form like this would be cool, same features just a different colour but makes it look so much more better
Cataclysm Class Changes: Druid {WoW}
Apr 9th 2010 9:53PM To me this talents are least in terms of moonkin and resto were very lacklustre, nothing really changing that I would be bouncing off the walls like my other classes.
Tree of Life is on cooldown, I know the Tree of Life form looks kinda silly, but I don't want it removed. What is a druid without shape shifts and that includes restos. All I wanted and I'm sure people will agree with me, was that it looked more cool and like a tree for a start; maybe like those trees you see in spooky pictures or something like that, all white etc.
I have to admit though that the cat and bear changes do look cool, and I am tempted to roll that role now, its been tempting for such a long time especially the new bear utilities.
Still I'm like ToL say what... cooldown.... like metamorphisis.... we aren't priests or shamans, or pallys, we are druids... I shapeshift therefore I am.

Doreen Now Has A Priceless Outlook On Her Future
Recently Divorced – She Decided To Do Something About Her Eyes And Face
Dr. DeRoin Put His Eyelid And Facelift Experience To Work
Here's Her Story
Q: It's not often we get a story like this. Doreen – you have a unique tale in that – you really did start anew at the age of 56. You had your eyelids done, then onto to a facelift. Then lipo. You started thinking about this – a few years ago.
Doreen – That's correct. I'm 56 now, but I began thinking about doing something at 52. I started noticing sagging. It literally happened within months. Very fast. So, it's been on my mind for some time. I always wanted to do something about it. Last year, I got divorced, hocked my engagement ring – then had both my upper and lower eyelids done.
Q: Hocked your engagement ring? You don't hear that often, but that tells anybody – you were ready to do something. Tell us how that turned out?
Doreen – They turned out incredible. I went in with an open mind. I wanted to look better – and wanted the sagging tissue and skin to go away. I went with the eyes first – because, to me – that would make the biggest impact.
Q: A good eyelift is a good eyelift. It takes a good talent to do one.
Doreen – Yes, I got to tell you – I was shaking at first. After it was done within an hour-and-a-half – you go home and say, "What did I do?" Every day – I could see a difference. Just like unwrapping a gift.
Q: Then, you decide to do something else.
Doreen – Yes, the eyes were so good, I wanted to improve the bottom part of my face – so I did a lower facelift.
Q: Dr DeRouin did both?
Doreen – Yes, he did. I couldn't be more happier.
Q: Both of these procedures were done over the past year?
Doreen – That is correct. My thinking was, "Get it done now." And, the second procedure went so much better – because – I wasn't as nervous.
Q: So here you are – 56 almost 57 – anything else you want to add?
Doreen – Here's the thing. Everytime had a concern, a question – after my facelift – Dr DeRouin always got back to me. He was just amazing. He was there. That's so important.
Q: It is – for many reasons.
Doreen – Yes, just knowing he'd get back to me was so important. I needed that. So, here I am, my eyes look great, lower face – very satisfied. I went back – and did some lipo. So, at my age – I'm good to go. And, I feel great.
Q: There are lots of folks in your position. We all age differently and making decision like this – is no small matter.
Doreen – No, they are not. The hardest part for me – was the first one – the eyelid surgery. I was shaking like a leaf – but – I will tell you – it all came out great. I know women my age – who could benefit. This kind of thing really changes your outlook and that's priceless.
Q: Sounds like a job well done. Doreen – thanks for your candid story!
To celebrate patient Doreen's new look – we have a special, open to all women considering eyelid or facial enhancement. The interview you just read needed no script. The questions were asked and our patient, Doreen – responded – exactly. That comes with inner confidence – the kind that's possible with Dermacare of Phoenix.

Blush Beaded Cuff Bracelet
I thought it was a continuous wire
This bracelet opens up differently than I expected. I thought it's a single wire with beads that wraps around your wrist continuously. But in fact all the strands begin and end at the same place, forming a single opening along the width of the bracelet much like a metal cuff bracelet would. That was my only issue with it and I returned it for that reason. Otherwise it's fine, looks like the photo. A bit stiff for my taste but others might like that.

Keratherapy Natural Renewal MAXX Keratin
Manuela D.Miami Beach, FLHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairBest Keratin I FoundCheck out my thoughts on video!! I hope it helps!!
I've been using this for a couple of years. So far so GREATposted May 8, 2014Link to this post -
ScMDHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairThe Best YetThis is the real, true, best working product in Keratin straightening / smoothing that I have used - and I've been doing this since 2009. Normally I try to do Coppola, it protects, smooths and defrizzes my hair well, but it takes 3-4 days on your head. I was looking for something to use during the summer that was 1 day. I've tried other 1days but they really took the 3 days or didn't last if washed in 1 day.
But this product really does the work - and in one day. My hair is soft, hydrated, completely frizz free (!! we know how hard that is!!). That's so easy and so repeatable. The bottle size is generous and good for many, many uses, making the price a steal vs. salon products, or other really expensive choices. Instructions on the Folica website are also great.
I would buy this again, and again. If you're not allergic to the ingredients I highly recommend this product.posted Aug 17, 2013Link to this post

Apparently my family thinks I have an anger problem. Not with them, but when I watch the news or see Tim Tebow on t.v.. lol. It's true. I get really pissed and make comments about how nucking-futs the world is. It's almost always over religion or really right-wing politics. Maybe I should just quit watching the news. It's just that there are SO MANY examples of religious morons praying to their wonderful 'god' after something awful happens to someone else. I can't stand it!
I'll just keep it to myself and call them names in my head instead of letting my family see me get outraged all time. I can't help it!
Thanks for the insights.
Thanks for all your responses. I'm not angry all the time, just usually while watching the news, lol. I actually did say something to my 'therapist' (I just get an anti-anxiety med from her, I have panic-attacks) once about extremely religious people, I don't remember what the context was, and she had NO clue what I meant or was talking about. Turns out she was a very religious, conservative, and she seemed very naive, as she actually said well she could see that I probably had a hard time finding people to talk to because there aren't many liberal Democrats. What? See, that kind of dumb made me angry! lol! Really though I do have to let it go. There are just too many of them to let myself get mad every time I see an idiot on television!
I can no longer watch television. I get my news online.
Now I scream at the computer.
"I you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!" Guess I took this one a little literally.
This is why I don't watch the news anymore on television. I just read it on line. That way, if I see "Tebow" or a GOP candidates name in the headline, I can choose to either skip it or to dive in with the knowledge that I'm about to read something that will make my brain cells cry.
I used to be like that, booklover. I got to the point of isolating myself from the news, pop culture, people I used to talk to, etc. I did that for 5 years, but out of curiosity I bought a flatscreen and viewed free broadcast channels. I couldn't believe how the world had changed, and I was amazed by the crazy graphics that football games had. They showed field markers on the field that looked like it was painted on and all that, it was crazy. Don't do what I did, because you'll find yourself very alone, and feeling left out of the rest of the world, no matter how ignorant it seems. I've been moving forward and trying....I get like 3 or 4 texts a week on my phone, and perhaps one day I'll even get a friend on this site.
I still do watch the news and do stuff with friends, I'm just trying to not let 'the dumb' get to me. I did get rid of most people on Facebook with the excuse that I don't like it and I'm really just on it to stay in touch with a few family members.
You have every right to be angry. I can't imagine that.

How Thrutu can help you share the love!
Valentine's Day is a day meant to be shared with the ones you love. For couples in both near and long distance relationships – and for friends boycotting the holiday – Thrutu can help to make your February 14th more memorable! Here are a few tips for teching-up your Valentine's Day with Thrutu:
To let your special someone know that you're thinking about them during the day, start an Interactive session and give them a Prod or share how you feel with the Mood button. (While you may think it shows how enthusiastic you are, try to avoid sending Prods all day long. You may find your interactive overtures quickly quashed.)
If you open the door in the morning to find a bouquet of flowers on your porch, Snap and Send a picture to say "thanks" to your Valentine. This can also work well for budget-conscious celebrators – just find and send a picture of the dream bouquet you'll buy one day.
Don't spend the evening alone – call someone and plan a spontaneous rendezvous! Use the Meet Me button to find the perfect place that's half way between your homes or offices.
Take your special someone on a surprise date. Tell him the neighborhood, but make it a scavenger hunt and let him find where you are with the Location button. Fun and romantic!
If you're feeling romantic, use the Doodle button to send a personalized drawing of a heart or a handwritten love note. (Guys, your girlfriends will swoon over this one.) Recently unlucky in love? Combine Doodle with an old Gallery Photo and X out your ex. Send it to a friend who can sympathize with your catharsis, and then call each other up to talk it out!
These are just a few suggestions for how Thrutu can come in handy on Valentine's Day or any other day of the year when you want to show a special someone in your life (and that includes your mom!) that you love them and care about them.
We'd love to hear how you use Thrutu to share the love! Leave us a note below or find us on Twitter or Facebook.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Thrutu on the Slopes
Slow as it was to arrive, winter is finally here, and snow aficionados of every sort – from snowboarders to apres-skiiers – are dreaming about weekend mountain trips to escape the hustle and bustle of the work week. Even so, it can be stressful trying to get everyone on a ski vacation to agree about when to meet at the base of the mountain, what ski lift to ride next, where to grab lunch, and so on – it all has the makings of a communications nightmare.
Remember when the solution was to carry around a bulky radio or set of walkie-talkies? Thankfully, those days are gone, and most ski resorts have excellent wireless connectivity so your smartphone (and favorite apps) work unfettered. Thrutu takes mobile-equipped skiing one step further and makes communicating with friends and family on a ski trip easier than ever before, thanks to real-time interaction and geo-location services. Whether you call to hash out the details or simply open an SMS-inspired Thrutu Interactive session, here are a few ways you can start using the Thrutu app on your next trip to the mountains:
- Share your Location to show your ski buddy what side of the mountain you're on.
- Snap a Photo of the whole gang atop the mountain and share it with folks back home.
- Meet a snow bunny at the lodge? Get her digits from a friend via the Contacts button.
- Share the (hopefully) snowy weather report with your jealous friends back home with the Wish you were here? button – and then hop on a phone call to apologize.
Most people first fell in love with Thrutu for its phone call enhancement, but Thrutu Interactive allows you to use any of the Thrutu buttons and even send free text messages when outside of a phone call too! Best of all, it's especially well suited for active mountain environments. If you're not free to pick up a phone call while speeding down the slopes, Thrutu Interactive makes it easy to exchange info on a more relaxed schedule.
To make using your phone while skiing even easier, check out these slick touchscreen gloves technology blog Mashable collected that allow you to interact with a smartphone screen without subjecting your fingers to frigid temps.
Before your friends and family head off to the mountains this winter, make sure everyone has downloaded the Thrutu app! Let us know how you and your friends use Thrutu on the slopes this season by finding us on Twitter or Facebook.

Eyeing the Hardware: Getting Ready for Mobile World Congress 2012
One of the biggest moments in mobile takes place in Barcelona each year – the GSMA Mobile World Congress. It's one of the largest mobile industry trade shows, and it's now just under a month away. On the heels of CES and with rumors already swirling about what innovations might be next to come in 2012, it's doubtful we're the only ones waiting with bated breath to see what cutting edge technologies and products are unveiled this time around! Last year, Mobile World Congress hosted more than 1,400 exhibitors and attracted over 60,000 visitors. The event is projected to be even bigger this year, and we're excited to announce Thrutu will be right in the middle of the action!
Not only will Thrutu be at the show (co-exhibiting with our parent company Metaswitch), but we're also a finalist for "Most Innovative Mobile App" at the 2012 Global Mobile Awards! It's a huge honor to be considered for this prestigious award alongside so many other pioneers and legendary names in the world of mobile. With over six hundred entries, an event record, the GSMA Global Mobile Awards (which have been around since the beginning of "mobile" in the 90's) have never been so competitive. The nominees in the Most Innovative Mobile App category represent a wide range of impressive mobile services including Google Wallet, one of the leading mobile credit card services, and Shazam, the most popular mobile app for music identification. To be chosen as a finalist alongside these other high profile mobile companies confirms yet again that our Thrutu app presents a truly unique technology that foreshadows the future of mobile communication.
The 2012 Mobile World Conference is taking place in Barcelona, Spain February 27th through March 1st. Get your passports in order and come join us! If you can't attend in-person, check out the MWC conversation on Twitter using hashtag #mwc12.
Hope to see you there!

Extreme Studio Networking at Clear Channel Seattle
Final walkthrough
It is still an adventure to walk through the 36,000-square-foot facility. Each music station has an on-air control room with new E-6 control surfaces and accompanying producer studio, some with Wheatstone SideBoard mixers for the occasional producer mix-in during a live show. The sports AM, KJR-AM, has a control room with an E-6 console along with producer studio and a talk studio with a SideBoard surrounded by microphones.
In addition, KJR-AM has a Sports Update studio with an E-1 console that can go directly to air, or to the KJR-AM control room as needed. The sports complex also has two sports edit workstations, each with SideBoards and Blade X-Y controllers, so sports updates and other audio can be routed to any one of the control rooms that want to grab them.
A dub studio is for voiceover recording and for general purpose use; it can be switched to air if need be from its E-1 control surface.
Edit 1 and Edit 2 studios are typically used for editing production or voicetracks. Another studio called the Multipurpose Studio has an E-1 console, which is used for production but is also configured as a backup should an on-air studio need to be taken offline for any reason.
Off to the far end of the building is the traffic center made up of 17 cubicles that monitor traffic in Seattle, Portland and other large cities in the region. Each cubicle is outfitted with newsroom mixers, which are networked through IP88a Blade access units to bring up audio from anywhere in the network and to route audio directly to air if needed.
A nearby bullpen for traffic news has controllers so that producers can grab audio feeds from anywhere they want, and there's another IP88a Blade that routes the microphone from these guests into the system so any one of the studios can pull up any one of these workstations to get a traffic report. The bullpen and traffic center are currently being retrofitted to move in the Traffic Network operation, an entity that was recently purchased by Clear Channel.
Four ProTools studios with ProTools consoles round out the studio complex. These studios have all the I/O wired up to IP88a Blade access units to bring audio in and out in the eventuality that Clear Channel retires the ProTools consoles and puts in new IP control surfaces.

This has some great rock & cool moves, but it's ridiculously contrived even by Shelf standards. Curious to know why they didn't just put the bolts in the middle of the face. I suppose they wanted the crack in the right face to be on, but the dihedral crack & left wall to be off. Kinda hard to lieback a crack when you can't flag, because there's an enormous wall in your way, which, by the way, you can't touch because it's "off". Anyway, it's a great route if you have a pair of Shelf Road Blinders, but trying to establish a consensus grade on something like this is pointless. |
By Curt MacNeill From: Boulder, CO May 7, 2011 |
Great route! Maybe a little soft. Who knows? I think this would be an awesome "first" shelf road 13a, as it was for me. Fun movement on some ever so tiny holds. Branching out left is a fairly logical finish at the top, I haven't seen anyone go straight up. I guess if you want to add another letter grade stay on the upper headwall and don't use the huge opposing wall and jugs in the crack. Great fun! |
By dancesatmoonrise Jul 17, 2012 rating: 5.12d 7c 28 IX 28 E6 6b |
Agree with Curt; great first 13a, but soft. I wasn't climbing at the 13 level when we did it in 1999, so while confidence-inspiring, it probably goes at 12c or 12d. |
By Jack Sparrow From: denver, co Sep 4, 2013 |
So, I assume Will bolted this route, since he seems to know what's on and what's not. Crack on the left is fair game in my book. |
By Train4life From: Boulder, CO Jan 23, 2014 |
I'd say just downgrade the route if you think it's not 13a with the crack, but this isn't gym climbing...cracks are on! If it's the most obvious way and the point of least resistance, maybe it should just be 12c or 12d now then! |

Elasmosaur Painting
"The Snake-necked Elasmosaurus" by Charles R. Knight appeared in
The Life of a Fossil Hunter
(1909) by Charles H. Sternberg. Knight, born in 1874 in Brooklyn, New York, was renowned for his paintings of prehistoric animals. Early artists reconstructed marine reptiles and dinosaurs based on the only animals they knew, living reptiles. Today, based on detailed studies of their anatomy, scientists know that elasmosaurs could not move their necks as depicted here.

Park River Estates Care Center - Coon Rapids, MN
Liberty Cleaners provides an awesome cleaning service. They are able to come in, many times with very short notice, and clean our moving pads and other various fabric type products right on location in our warehouse or on our moving vans. The convenience and professionalism of their service is evident in everything they do. They take dirty pads, etc., out of piles, clean them and then professionally stack them in moving vans, straight trucks or in the warehouse as needed.
Liberty Cleaners saves us money by allowing us to re-use these very expensive pads many times. Our customers know that we are concerned about their household goods because we use only clean pads, skins, and floor coverings in their house and on their furniture. Liberty Cleaners performs this service like no other I've experienced. This is a value added part of our professional moving services to our customers.
Thanks Liberty Cleaners!Steve Nygren, Operations Manager

Under Presidents Bush and Obama, the United States has eroded al-Qaida's capacity to strike the United States. But last weekend's shutdown of 19 U.S. embassies and consulates in North Africa, combined with a spike in drone attacks on al-Qaida in Yemen, shows that the fight against terrorism will not be over any time soon.
Security for American diplomats has been beefed up since last year's terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. It is hard to say, though, whether too much caution led to the shutdown of the embassies in a dangerous region where the U.S. has interests to protect, and where it must project an image of strength and resolve lest it encourage more attacks.
According to the Associated Press, the shutdowns followed the interception of a message between Ayman al-Zawahiri, who succeeded bin Laden as al-Qaida chief, and the leader of its Yemen-based branch. Was that an attempt to make President Obama blink and display weakness by shutting the embassies? Did it reveal a serious threat? Or does this mean al-Qaida is too weakened to attack America and is now focusing on a regional struggle?
The experts will have to sort these things out. Meanwhile, the work our embassies do remains vital, and our people sent to dangerous lands should be protected to the best of our ability. Their efforts will be crucial if we are to ultimately help stabilize a region where radicals use terror as a means to thwart peace.

All grower-shippers want their produce placed front and center in the produce department, where it is more visible to consumers and perhaps more often purchased.
It's especially important, though, to place berries where they'll get a lot of attention from shoppers.
"Retailers know that berries are a draw," said Cindy Jewell, director of marketing for California Giant Inc., Watsonville.
"I know everybody fights for the endcap … but the bottom line is that berries that are merchandised well make such a vivid, eye-catching display that it absolutely commands an impulse purchase," said Brian Bocock, vice president of product management for Naturipe Farms LLC, Naples, Fla.
Bocock said the months of July, August and September typically offer the lowest price points for berries, so displaying well-priced berries at the front of the produce section helps shoppers notice the good deals.
"You want that in the customer's face right when they walk through the door," he said.
"It's a tremendous value as compared to what they see the rest of the year."
Michelle Deleissegues, director of marketing, Red Blossom Farms, Santa Ynez, Calif., said strawberries should be at the front of the produce department to drive sales.
In addition to a good location, strawberries need a consistent location so retailers can capture planned as well as impulse purchases, she said. Deleissegues said highly visible berry displays can boost sales for all types of berries and all pack sizes.
Douglas Ronan, vice president of marketing for Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc., Watsonville, said that increased in-store visibility for berries is a focus for Driscoll's.
When retailers use primary and secondary displays effectively, consumers engage more with the category and make more purchases, he said.
"Berries are one of the highest impulse items," Jewell said. "It's all about how they look and smell."
Ronan said demand for berries now runs 52 weeks of the year, which means there are opportunities to sell berries that didn't exist in previous years when supplies were seasonal.
Raspberries, for example, are now a year-round product for Driscoll's. There are times when the distribution is not as broad, but the brand is available 52 weeks a year, Ronan said.
"If you can bring (berries) into the marketplace with good quality and taste, you can do a lot in terms of success," he said.
Berry patch
"Berries are a hot item," Bocock said.
"Retailers really can separate themselves from their competition across the street by having a real vivid, exciting, fresh berry display."

We bought a King size Sealy Posturpedic Afton firm mattress 3 weeks ago. My husband already feels like he is sleeping in a hole and he isn't a large guy. He's 5'8" and 170 lbs. I noticed in the last week that when he gets out of bed I can feel the transfer motion more than I could the first week. Today I got down on eye level with the edge of the mattress and there is a very distinct "hill" in the center already!!! We will be contacting the store where we got the mattress but what gives? Any suggestions or advice? I am a stomach sleeper and my husband is a side sleeper. We both prefer a firm bed and he has lower back issues.
Hi Ann,
The Affton does not show up on my cross reference for model names. That's not to say it isn't new, as there are more names for the same mattress than we can keep up with.
Still, the first thing I'd have you check it the white label sewn into the back seam of the mattress. It gives the date of manufacture...checking to see if it is a new mattress.
That aside, you can get a dud with any type of mattress. The warranty is what you rely on when this happens and you avail yourself of it through your retailer.
