The Internet remains one of the last unregulated frontiers and many who use it to make money would prefer to see it stay that way.

First it was the telemarketers whose wings were clipped, now in a surprise ruling, the Federal Communications Commission is cracking down on the sending of unsolicited facsimiles.

Skip To My Lou if you lookin for a couple
from Clipse – Momma I'm So Sorry Lyrics on Genius
"Skip To My Lou" is an old children's song and was a popular partner-stealing song in the American frontier. Pusha T is inviting anyone who wants access to a kilo or two to come partner up with him, even if that means he's stealing associates from rival dealers. The fact that it refers to a children's song just reinforces the song's theme of instructing the young.
Skip to My Lou is also referring to the former street ball nickname of Rafer Alston, guard for the Orlando Magic and former street ball legend.

Well not here, this is a working private 125 year old large American historic ranch nestled within a lush alpine valley of its own directly West of Yosemite.
Private fishing, swimming, ATV and horseback riding, and there is nothing like tubing down a river on a sunny day with just your family. The ranch keeps Agri/tourism as its number one objective so you and your family can learn about what its like to be on a farm. You can collect your own chicken eggs, pick herbs, spices, and vegetables from the greenhouse, and feed the pigs your leftovers for the whole ranch experience. We have roping lesions, clay pigeon shooting, and archery range, horseback riding, kayaking .. i say no more!!
Like 'Paul Bunyan' all structures on this iconic ranch are handcrafted from whole natural logs and raw saw milled timber right off the land!

We offer our guests to 'get unplugged' and privately experience the ranch! Please see our reviews!
'Here on this scenic ranch you will feel like your in the middle of Montana but, amazed as I drove out of the main entrance gate and was only 5.5 miles/less than 15 minutes from fine dining, shopping, and museums!' - (Andrew Leon of Orange County)

Little Slice of Heaven
About the Owner
Your more of an American while out on a our private ranch, more free to do and become what you want, the life style Americans were originally intended to live and fought for with all rights from freedom by our forefathers! . The owner is a self made pioneer in all senses of the word. Perhaps the last of his kind, the ranch has been privately owned since 1885 and since, purchased in 2000, Bronse has brought the ranch once in ruins back to its original prime state. He has personally handcrafted real log cabins made off the land using raw lumber made from his sawmill, whole logs from dead standing timber, and natural granite rocks for massive fireplaces in each cabin. Your are welcome to camp, bring a motor home, hike around, and simply be free about and all its splendor while you are enjoying the great out doors here on the ranch!

Such a wonderful place this is....
Little Slice of Heaven
Best Family Experience Ever!
But what was totally amazing was the quiet beauty all around us. We enjoyed absolute freedom on the ranch to explore on the ATVs provided for us, and were thrilled to watch the buffalo(bison) graze right off our wrap around porch. There are horses, egg laying chickens, pigs and a gorgeous wolf/dog that we got to know as well.
We would love to go back next year!
Enlighten Life
We wrote this review to capture someone seeking a real journey to something new. Maybe this journey is seeking you. If your seeking a reason for this...well.... "HERE YOU ARE" or " YOU MAY BE HERE".
We started exiting Los Angeles late afternoon and ended on a dirt road with a welcoming Rancher riding a 4 wheeler wondering if we were goig to ever Slow down! He asked what kind of vacation am i looking for and I said just the one in the sunset picture of this website. I could sense I was in for far more than my life journey thought it could handle. But with a little step of faith forward we all found that we have the desire to seek some place new where you can get to know what American Ranch living is like. We felt a narrow road begin to provide the sense we are in the right place a chance to sculpt a new picture in your mind and those around you. We can explain so little in words about life. My Families and friends experience at the Bison Ranch for Thanksgiving has shaped a outlook for each of us to grow and experience life as a journey. This Ranch brought a real life experience for my wife, two year old, four year old daughters, father, brother and friends. We learned how to Take a new appreciation for time and found a little idea can lead a long ways if your willing to work the gateway on the open county roads leading through the Ranch. Really got to Slow down! We soaked in place set in back in time a waterfall worth hiking too a welcoming Rancher willing to accept someone new. The property and enjoy the range of life and the unlimited opportunities venture around the Ranch by foot or OHV. I am living life with a new desire to seek new, this place truly found me and my family. I hope it finds many more.

"The owner lives on the ranch in a cabin and is very knowledgeable about the history of the ranch and the natural environment. He has hand built the log cabin structures through hard work and true grit and seems to be John Wayne like in character.

Van for Noble Hospital in Westfield Almost Hits Capacity
August 26th, 2014
WESTFIELD, Mass ((WGGB)) — It's almost one year to the day since Noble hospital in Westfield started it's patient transportation service.
After noticing an increase in patients unable to provide their own transportation, Noble thought it was their job to step in and lend a hand. Now, they're noticing the demand is beginning to outweigh their only van.
Patients like Omer Bergeron depend heavily on the transit system. Bergeron uses it three times a week to get to and from physical therapy appointments.
"Beautiful, its been so nice, because they come right to the door pick me up and drop me off at the door. I don't have to worry about driving, very helpful," Bergeron told ABC40.
For seniors on a fixed income, this free service is the cherry on-top for Southwick residents. In fact it is getting so popular they are close to capacity according to Steve Cummings, CIO and VP of operations.
"We found it was a significant obstacle for them simply accessing the care. We're monitoring the volume right now to take a look at how well that bus is being utilized and if we do get to a point we think it can't handle it any more, it's likely we'd look at adding another bus," Cummings said.
Bergeron says it's happened to him a few times. The bus was scheduled full and he had to find his own ride.
This bus is so important to residents like Bergeron because they are without the PVTA in Southwick. According to Brandy Lamour of the PVTA, the town must vote to join the PVTA, but Mass. General laws dictate what communities PVTA are allowed to serve.

Joachim Carvallo
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2007)
Joachim Carvallo (1869-1936) was a Spanish-born doctor and medical researcher in France best known as the owner who restored Château de Villandry and the creator of its spectacular gardens.
Joachim Carvallo emigrated to Paris in 1893 to further his studies. While working with a medical research team he met and married in 1899 a medical intern named Ann Coleman, an American from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania (a descendant of Robert Coleman (industrialist)). For a time the couple lived in Paris but in 1906 they bought Château de Villandry in the Indre-et-Loire in France's Loire Valley and began their dream of restoring and improving the once magnificent château. After becoming a French citizen, during World War I the Carvallos opened part of their property for use as a military hospital and he served in the French Army as a military doctor. When the war ended, they returned to their restoration work but became most famous for creating what many consider to be one of the most beautiful gardens in the world.
A pioneer in the opening of historic buildings to the public, in 1924 Carvallo founded "La Demeure Historique," the first association for owners of châteaux with historical value. In 1934, Château de Villandry was designated a Monument historique and has been named by Unesco as a World Heritage Site. Today, the gardens are a major tourist attraction, visited by the public at large and horticulturalists from around the world. Henri Carvallo, the doctor's great grandson, is the owner of Villandry and continues to enhance and expand the château's gardens.
In 2004, Alix de Guitaut-Vienne published a history of the doctor's lifelong work on the château in a book titled Joachim Carvallo et l'Oeuvre de la demeure historique (ISBN 3-9522154-6-5).

how do you connect chain to main partsA. The chain on the Maxim MX 11244 connects to a canopy which conceals the electrical in the ceiling.
I know the Maxim MX 11244 suggested room is a dining room but how would it look in a foyer over a staircase? Also, in the picture it does have bronze look to it but in a review someone says it looks black which is the color does it resemble more? Thank you very much.A. The Maxim MX 11244 would be able to hang in the foyer and would look good but ultimately your decision. The bronze is darker and has a darker rubbed look. It has a bronze tint but looking from a hanging position and the amount of light that reflects off of it could make it look black.
When you order additional chain does the additional wire come with it?A. No, it will be chain only.
could this be used as a light attached to a ceiling fan?A. The Maxim MX 11244 unfortunately is only made to be used as a chandelier and not to used as a light kit for a fan.
Is it cheap material that just looks nicer than it isA. The Maxim MX 11244 is made of iron and glass.
Is it possible to get 6-7 feet of chain with this product.A. Yes, extra chain is sold by the foot under item number CHN08.
where is this light made ?A. This item is made in China.
Where can we find the matching mini-pendent lights.?A. The Maxim MX 11244 does have a matching mini pendant, MX 91049.
Where do you find the matching mini-pendent for over an island?A. The Maxim MX 11244 does have a matching mini pendant, MX 91049.

UNION COUNTY — During this week's meeting of the Union County Board of School Trustees, board members rated superintendent Dr. Kristi Woodall's performance "satisfactory" for the past year, based on the fact that she had met the goals she had set for the district in 2012-2013. Woodall said she gives full credit to the teachers, students and administrators.
"I formulate the plans and time lines, but I'm totally dependent on them in order to bring (goals) to fruition," Woodall said. "They are very dedicated and committed, and our students try very hard."
Woodall's goals for the district were divided into three categories, the first of which was Curriculum and Instruction. She said she would assist principals and the instructional staff in plans for continuous district improvement, and those goals were met in the following ways:
- Common Core standards in Grade 2 and higher were reviewed with instructional teams to prepare for the bridge year. Common Core were implemented in K-1.
- Clemson University visited for K-2 and 3-5 Common Core training.
- Model math lessons were developed for presentation to peers at the Jan. 4, 2013 in-service. Book studies for common core math implementation were conducted.
- Common Core leadership teams attended training sessions and shared information with colleagues.
- The focus on MAP data continued in grades K-8 to track student progress.
- The district-wide course of study developed in grammar was implemented.
- Shared planning in middle level courses was facilitated in order to discuss common core strategies.
- A plan for a middle and elementary GT summer camp was created, and a funding source was found.
- Honors offerings were adjusted at the middle and high school levels based on feedback of interest, test scores and rigor.
The next category was Use of Resources, in which Woodall said she would provide leadership in effectively managing resources. Those goals were met in the following ways:
- Assistance for preparation of 2013-2014 budget was provided.
- A forensic audit was conducted twice for payroll and purchasing.
- Finance procedures were reviewed with local vendors in order to cancel direct orders to career teachers. Standardization of purchasing procedures was re-emphasized in the career center.
- UCHS classroom computers were upgraded.
- The role of the placement coordinator at the career center was defined.
- Recruitment and scheduling for middle school prospects and high school completers at the career center were offered.
- Career center practices, procedures, and staffing models were reviewed. A study for restructuring of programs was conducted.
- Instruction strategies at the Achievement Academy were monitored during the transfer from traditional to virtual delivery.
- Employee travel was limited, and the focus remained on shared initiatives. Employees presented information gained at principal meetings and/or staff development sessions at school sites.
- District level administrators and principals were evaluated.
- Athletic program needs and staffing were discussed with the high school principal and athletic director.
- Race to the Top technology funding was sought through grant submission.
- Technology department staffing and work order progress was monitored.
- Construction work progress on athletic practice fields for baseball and softball was reviewed.
- Discussions on the possible uses of school and county facilities continued with community members.
The third category was Public Relations. Woodall said she would develop opportunities for community outreach and partnerships, and those goals were met in the following ways:
- OCR Title 9 requests for documentation and interviews were provided in a timely manner April-September 2013.
- The Wyatt's Chapel Backpacks of Love program was implemented in the elementary schools.
- Guidance services and responsibilities were reviewed.
- Virtual course offerings and higher education partnerships in academic work such as dual credit were reviewed to offer choice and flexibility.
- OLWEUS bullying prevention program kick-offs were planned and implemented at BES and Sims.
- The organization of student field trips for career awareness and advisement was encouraged.
- A plan for WorkKeys testing for emerging workers in Union County was developed in partnership with USC Union and Spartanburg Community College as part of the WorkReady county initiative. The superintendent served on the leadership team.
- A plan for the smooth transition from K-5 to 6th grade at Sims was developed.
Woodall said board members were concerned about Union County High Schools grade of "F" on its federal report card, and she said she is taking steps to improve that. She explained, however, that the federal report card — which has only been in place for two years — is based on the growth of seven student sub-groups, such as ethnicity, gender, free and reduced lunch, and special needs students. The federal report card is not based on overall performance, but rather the growth of all seven of those student sub-groups.
"We did better than expected in some categories," Woodall said. "We did have successes, but if all seven sub-groups don't move, we still get a zero."
Woodall used an analogy, comparing the scoring system to losing weight.
"If I'm trying to lose weight and my goal is to lose 15 pounds, I could meet my goal one year. Then, the next year, I could have held that 15 pounds down, but because I didn't lose five more, I would get a zero."
Woodall said the UCHS staff members understand the facets of that federal growth model, and they are working to improve data in all of those student sub-groups.
Schools will not receive their state report card, which is based on overall performance, until November. Those scores are based on end-of-course tests, on-time graduation rate, and how many students passed exit exams (their first time taking them and by graduation). Woodall said she already has the raw data, but not the final calculations. She said UCHS has scored average in the three previous years, and some adjustments have already been made to see better scores this year.
Woodall also pointed out that four teachers from the district level — Cindy Langley, Tabitha Talley, Eric Childers, and herself — are visiting schools to assist and support teachers on a monthly basis.
"We are trying a very hands-on approach to support teachers," she said. "We look at the way we test students — written tests and the types of questions we ask — and communicating with students' families. That's what I focus on in the math department. It takes the teacher and the family to work with the student."
Woodall assists in the math department; Langley assists in English; Childers in science; and Talley in social studies.
Woodall also discussed her goals for 2013-2014, which will involve the same three categories as last year. For instruction, she said the district will focus on an I-3 writing grant from Clemson, which is for middle and high school teachers who are learning to teach writing. Another focus will be STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), which will involve upper-level middle school science lessons and the formation of robotics teams.
In the Resources category, the focus will be on the UCHS Career and Technology Center. A needs assessment will be conducted, from recruitment to programs offered. Woodall said the district will expand the programs which are offered in the CATE Center.
In the Public Relations category, the district will focus on the 5K Healthy Snack Initiative, in which students' snacks will come from local farmers markets, as well as outreach efforts to put out good news about the work of the teachers and students.

VA's disability claims backlog down by 44 percent, but problems remain

House bill would make it easier to fire senior execs at VA
The VA Management Accountability Act would give VA Secretary Eric Shinseki broad authority to remove Senior Executives Service (SES) members "if the secretary determines the performance of the individual warrants such removal," according to the bill. In addition to outright removal, the bill would allow the VA secretary to bump SES members down to the General Schedule at any grade level the secretary deems appropriate according to the bill.

VA benefits set to slightly increase in 2014
When veterans and their families, who receive disability compensation and retirement benefits from the Veterans Affairs Department, receive their annual cost-of-living increase next month, for the first time ever, it won't be rounded down to the nearest dollar. Overall, the COLA for veterans benefits will increase 1.5 percent. Until this year, the COLA for veterans' benefits was rounded down to the nearest dollar. That will change with payments beginning in January.

Now that people living in the northern states and Canada are getting ready to cover up their barbecues for the season, it seems like a good time to revisit my culinary column. (Using the word "culinary" gives me an air of sophistication, don't you think?)
Contrary to popular belief, men can cook indoors as well as over a raging fire. Here are my "secrets."
Start by sauteing some chopped vegetables in a frying pan or skillet. Use whatever you like — onions, celery, mushrooms, carrots — it's completely customizable to your own taste. While that's cooking, throw in some flavoring: garlic, pepper, soy sauce, basil, tarragon, lemon, lime or orange juice. Whatever you're in the mood for.
Next put in some chicken, beef, pork, turkey — anything you want. (Please, no tofu. We're cooking a meal here, not making play dough.) For a creamier sauce, you can dredge the meat in flour before cooking.
After browning the meat and veggies to the point where they start sticking to the pan, you're ready for the key ingredient: a cup of cheap wine — red if you want more robust flavor, or white if you want something lighter.
Scrape all the crud from the bottom of the pan (I think real chefs call it "deglazing."), swish everything around in the wine and let it simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. The longer it simmers, the better it gets. If it looks as if it is drying out, add some broth. If the sauce is too thin, stir in some more flour.
If you want to cheat, pour in a can of cream of something soup. It doesn't really matter what kind. Use your imagination — or whatever you find in the pantry.
That's it. Serve over rice or noodles, and you are good to go. Wives and girlfriends definitely will be impressed, ... preferably not at the same time.

Bit Magic is a forum for techies to celebrate Techiness! As techies we know that it's the technical tinkering that keeps us ticking. It's the no-business-sense inventions of today that build tomorrow's businesses. We all have private hacks, personal engines, hand-crafted libraries and code generators, those secrets that save us time, cheat the processor (and the boss), are fun and keep us sane. When not tinkering, we take timeto understand the behind-the-scenes technologies of our world.
Bit Magic hopes to unveil and celebrate these.We are going to have our second forum hosted at the iHub. It will be a 3 hour event on Saturday,26th March starting from 2pm. There will be four 40 minute presentations. These month'spresenters are:
1. Michael Pedersen A talk titled "The European demo scene - The computer as an art platform!"
Abstract: "The demo scene" is a computer subculture, particular widespread in Europe (seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene ). In essence it is doing "grafiti" with your computer -don't worry I am not about to become "graphical" on you guys, we are still talking about pushingBITS around inside the computer.In this talk I will give a brief introduction to the demo-scene and what it is all about, I willshow a select few demos from the last 20 years. and try to explain the hardcore concept behindthis very very geeky subculture.This is less of a talk than action - There will be 8 demos of around 5 minutes each.
2. Edmund Ochieng Edmund is working on Ushahidi's J2ME application. He is a Fedora enthusiast and previously, worked on computing clusters for computation infrastructure. His presentation will draw from his clustering background.
3. Makinde Adiegbo (Facebook, Bridge International Schools)
Makinde worked in the performance team at Facebook, the team that greatly increased the downloadtime for Facebook in late 2010. The talk on this can be found online. He will present oncaching in its various forms. mainly focusing onJavascript, CSS, and other front end caching techniques (and perhaps afew backend caching techniques).
4. Ashok Hariharan Ashok works on the Open Source Bungeni Project (www.bungeni.org) which is an open-source Parliament Information System. Other projects are Africa i-Parliaments (wwww.parliaments.info) and Akoma Ntoso (www.akomantoso.org). He will be presenting about this last project - Akoma Ntoso - which is a set of common XML standards used in parliamentary, legislative and judiciary documents. He will draw from implementations they have done with with Kenya Law Reports.

Casa del Vicolo is the ideal location for a vacation between nature, comfort and quiet, in recently restored house dated 1700, finely furnished and distinctive, overlooking a large garden (6000mq) with amazing lake view (250 m distance).
The home expands upon 3 levels:
at the ground floor fully equipped roomy kitchen, dining room with stone vaulted ceiling directly facing the garden fitted for solarium and lunch.
At the first floor bright living room that easily can turn into a 2 persons bedroom if necessary (2 single beds or 1 double bed) and bathroom with shower.
At the second floor double bedroom with balcony having the sight over the lake and the village and bathroom with shower.
The huge garden with view over the lake allows for charming moments to play or relax as well as nice walks among the olive trees cultivation.
Thank you to Danielle and Mario for making us so welcome in their wonderful villa. It is tastefully decorated and furnished and situated in a lovely village that is perfectly positioned for getting around the lake. The grounds are carefully maintained and lovely and the villa has everything for a comfortable stay. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone wishing to have a relaxing stay and a real home from home.
Danielle and Marius were very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. The house (and newly fitted out smaller apartment and B&B rooms in the adjacent house) are tastefully restored and furnished and the view of Lake Como from the terrace was wonderful. The location in Mezzegra provided us with easy access to the central lake area and its attractions, spectacular villas and picturesque villages - either by foot via the Greenway footpath which passes close to the house or by car and boat from nearby Lenno or Tremezzo. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this lovely property.
Another lovely holiday in this delightful apartment in Mezzagra. The apartment is clean, spacious, and modern and every convenience is provided. Danielle and Mario could not have been more helpful or kind. The garden is exquisite and I shall long sound remember waking up to the sound of the birds singing.
Thank you for your kidness.
A beautifully renovated house that more than lives up to the pictures on the site.
Personally, I loved the way that the character and beauty of the old house has been retained, but with modern features where appropriate.
The house is tastefully decorated with lovely furniture. The layout was perfect for our family - one floor for us and one for my daughter. It would also work well for two couples.
We spent much of our time outside in the lovely garden - breakfast on a sunny morning with a view of the lake is a perfect way to start the day.
The family live close by and are both friendly and informative. Many thanks for the restaurant tips.
All in all a place to enjoy and to come back to.
Wir haben uns SEHR wohl in diesem wunderschönen und mit viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichteten Feriendomizil gefühlt ! Alles ist so wie es sein soll und Danielle und Mario sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Und dann diese Ruhe ! und trotzdem nicht weit vom See entfernt ! Das Haus war äusserst sauber und sehr romantisch gelegen. Das i-Tüpfelchen ist bestimmt der Garten, den wir leider Ende Oktober nicht mehr benutzen konnten. Wir werden dieses Ferienhaus ganz bestimmt weiterempfehlen. Danke Danielle und Mario für alles und hoffentlich auf bald !!
We were fortunate to be able to spend a week in the Casa del Vicolo in April 2011. We did not have a car and it was the perfect location, since you can walk to shops and restaurants and take the ferry from Lenno or Tremezzo for excursions.
We came to hike in the area and were not disappointed. Starting directly from the house we could explore old villages, mountain paths and alps on numerous beautiful walks.

Nice park except for I90 noise. We like total quiet from Traffic and people! So, I would not stay here for extended time. Really nice green areas for pet walking. This is important to us as we have small, white pets. We were here in Sept so not crowded! Very nice owners who live on sight. Would stop here again... More

How has your Fletcher experience impacted your professional trajectory? My experience at Fletcher helped me to think globally when conducting business practices. The academic training was key in focusing on the most important topics that business leaders need to have in mind. Meanwhile, the flexibility of the curriculum helped me to combine these skills with an specific area of business I want it to focus on. As a result, I'm positive of having taken the right steps to work on corporate finance in the LATAM region with a focus on the energy industry. Which is, what I'm doing now and continue to work toward as a long term career path.
What was your favorite class at Fletcher and why? My favorite class at Fletcher was International Financial Management. This class was the one that taught me to how to analyze each project with an international perspective, taking into account the variables that affect market opportunities and risks. Incorporating macroeconomic analysis to a corporate finance assessment was a great toolkit that I learned to use in this class.

AK- first things first. Where exactly are you planning to do this coastal cruising while living aboard? It makes a big difference in the type of boat you should be looking for IMHO. If you are planning to live aboard and cruise the BC coast (Alaska to Seattle area) you might want to think about a pilothouse, or at least something you can put a full enclosure over the cockpit and still sail. You'll also need a reliable heat source (or two). If, on the other hand you are planning to return to CA, especially southern CA, you might want to concentrate on a completely different type of boat. Are you interested in racing at all, or are you thinking about offshore? These are all basic questions that you need to answer before looking at specific boats to buy. It's easy to buy a boat right now, hard to sell one so you want to get what will work for you the first time. I think you'll be able to find a decent boat for $12-15K, but do your homework first and figure out what is important to you. Good luck and keep us informed.

The Clay County Board of Supervisors held its first meeting of the new year Monday, which included the annual appointment of a new board president and vice president. District 5 Supervisor Floyd McKee was appointed as the president for the duration of this year while District 1 Supervisor Lynn Horton was elected as the board's vice president.
As president, McKee will be responsible for overseeing regularly scheduled board meetings.
"You're kind of a like a judge in a court," McKee said. "You try and lead in the right direction."
McKee served as board president nearly four years ago and has served Clay County on the board for six years.
"I want to keep steady on working and trying to bring new jobs in," McKee said. "I feel like we're fixing to have spin-off jobs from Yokohama. We're going to work hard to keep jobs coming in."

Best chance to get ahead of the trucks:
Do well in the first special stage of 60km. I would think that you don't want to start just in front of the trucks.
"The seaside resort of Mar del Plata brings to mind lazing around, especially after the competitors have mingled with the crowd during the public presentation ceremony on 31st December. For the short warm-up special stage, they will nevertheless be allowed to pass by the seafront, where the small dunes to be crossed will represent the first hurdle. In this simple exercise, the fastest time will establish a first winner and determine each competitors position in the rankings. After this challenge, there will be a long liaison section to be covered to Santa Rosa de la Pampa."
After this special, throw in a pair of street tires and hit the 796km liaison. Talk about a sore butt!

|20m. A good climb. Start at a red dot on the rock, below a line of staples. Climb past the first four staples with increasing difficulty, eventually gaining a large ledge. Move right up easier ground, past a fifth staple, to reach a set of three staples near the top, the right hand two of which can be used as a lower-off.
Checked and cleaned July 2014. Ledges at the top of the pitch collect leaf litter and soil; this part of the climb needs regular cleaning.

Siberia v3 review: An old veteran gets an under-the-hood upgrade
The Siberia v2 is a classic amongst gaming enthusiasts. Is the v3 a worthy successor?

From the SteelSeries Siberia v3 to the latest Astro A50, these headsets will run you $100 or more—and you'll get what you pay for.
Corsair H2100 review: Go wireless for cheap
The H2100 is one of the cheapest wireless headsets on the market, which makes up for some other flaws.
Mionix Nash 20 review: Minimal design, maximal sound
The Mionix Nash 20 is a bit heavy and oversized, but in return you get an excellent sense of presence.
Siberia Elite Prism review: Clearer outgoing audio, quieter incoming audio
The good? A new microphone. The neutral? A looser fit than last year. The bad? An utter lack of volume.
Polk 4 Shot review: If only it were built with the PC in mind
The Polk 4 Shot features audio that lives up to Polk's brand, but it lacks features that are standard in other PC headsets.

The Astro A50 packs phenomenal sound and wireless convenience, if you're willing to throw down $300.

Man biggest threat to 'pawikan,' says senator
MORONG, Bataan—At least 100 Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings were released into the waters of Barangay Nagbalayong here as part of the celebration of the town's Pawikan Festival on Dec. 2.
Sen. Loren Legarda led Bataan officials in releasing the hatchlings to mark the eighth year of the festival that focuses on local marine conservation efforts.
Mayor Cynthia Estanislao said efforts to conserve marine turtles here allowed advocates to release 52,000 hatchlings to the sea since 2004.
It was a feat which Legarda lauded, saying some local communities still treat the turtles as a delicacy.
In a statement, Legarda, chair of the Senate committee on climate change, said: "Pawikan are majestic creatures found throughout the country. However, because of poaching, theft of their eggs for commercial purposes and destruction of their habitat, they are in danger of becoming extinct."
"There is no denying that we have become the biggest threat to their existence and to the existence of many other species of animals," she said.
"I laud the local government of Bataan for their initiatives to protect, conserve and rehabilitate the pawikan population. Future generations will be thankful for the concerted action they have achieved," she said.
The Pawikan Conservation Center here was developed in 2004 due to the collaboration between a group of environmental advocates called Bantay Pawikan, headed by Manolo Ebias, Bataan Gov. Enrique Garcia Jr. and his wife, Victoria, chair of Bataan Tourism Council Foundation.
Estanislao said environment advocates from other areas, like Bicol, visit the center to learn from its success. Greg Refraccion, Inquirer Central Luzon

This is an eTextbook Learn More
Great individuals are assumed to cause the success of radical innovations--thus Henry Ford is depicted as the one who established the automobile industry in America. Hayagreeva Rao tells a different story, one that will change the way you think about markets forever. He explains how "market rebels"--activists who defy authority and convention--are the real force behind the success or failure of radical innovations.
Rao shows how automobile enthusiasts were the ones who established the new automobile industry by staging highly publicized reliability races and lobbying governments to enact licensing laws. Ford exploited the popularity of the car by using new mass-production technologies.
Rao argues that market rebels also establish new niches and new cultural styles. If it were not for craft brewers who crusaded against "industrial beer" and proliferated brewpubs, there would be no specialty beers in America. But for nouvelle cuisine activists who broke the stranglehold of Escoffier's classical cuisine in France, there would have been little hybridization and experimentation in modern cooking.
Market rebels also thwart radical innovation. Rao demonstrates how consumer activists have faced down chain stores and big box retailers, and how anti-biotechnology activists in Germany penetrated pharmaceutical firms and delayed the commercialization of patents.
Read Market Rebels to learn how activists succeed when they construct "hot causes" that arouse intense emotions, and exploit "cool mobilization"--unconventional techniques that engage audiences in collective action. You will realize how the hands that move markets are the joined hands of market rebels.

Get out on the water.
The Ocean Kayak Frenzy Sit-On-Top Kayak smooths out choppy seas and cruises across the glassy water of a lake or pond, making it a perfect fun-sized boat for the whole fam. A strong keel line cuts through the water so this boat tracks straight as an arrow, and there's enough stability to make flipping it a real accomplishment (you can bet the kids will try). It's even small and quick enough that you can catch some waves at the beach. Stash some gear under the bow and stern bungees if you're paddling across the lake, or keep your beer safe in the built-in cup holder when you're going for a sun-drenched cruise, but don't forget the sunscreen.

I ordered my kayak frenzy with Evan Wilcox who matched the price to a cheaper kayak on another site. He answered all my question and spent a ton of time with me making sure I was satisfied. I then spoke with Emily Jenson to make sure I was also getting the seat shipped with the Kayak which I had forgotten to confirm with Evan. I recieved e-mails and phone calls from both Emily and Evan confirming my seat was being shipped with the kayak. I received my Kayak today in perfect shape with the seat they promised me. Evan and Emily made things so easy that I look forward to doing business a lot more in the near future with backcountry.

Penny Dreadful – PilotMay 6, 2015
Named after the cheap, pulpy serials popular in nineteenth-century England, Penny Dreadful plays almost like a Victorian edition of American Horror Story but with an air of campy sophistication. The show pulls characters from classic literature, specifically Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, but is still accessible to viewers unfamiliar with Gothic fiction. Everything, from the acting and writing down to the costumes and sets, is flawless, and the rare misstep still makes the series more entertaining than its peers. The show centers around Vanessa Ives, a possessed woman played by Eva Green, whose performance is currently the best on TV (it's so good that Penny Dreadful might as well be called The Eva Green Hour).
Vanessa is already in the supernatural thick-of-it, so we get a point-of-view character to introduce us to the world and the unnatural threats: the sharpshooter Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), an America performer in "Colonel Brewster's Wild West Show and Emporium of American Curiosities." Sir Malcolm Murray (former 007 Timothy Dalton) hires him, along with Dr. Frankenstein, to find his daughter and Vanessa's best friend, Mina Harker, and kill whatever has taken her (vampires). However, that season-long goal is just an excuse to explore the relationships between Vanessa and the men in her life, as well as the creepy supernatural plots at play.
Penny Dreadful's greatest strength apart from the acting is the world John Logan has created. Logan (Gladiator, Sweeney Todd, Skyfall) is the series' sole writer, and each episode feels like a labor of love. His series blends unique spins on familiar tropes, characters, and monsters – feral vampires with hieroglyphs etched under their skin, an Egyptian Book of the Dead and corresponding apocalyptic lore, demonic possession, reanimated corpses courtesy of Dr. Frankenstein, and a possibly incestuous witches' coven, to name a few – all interacting in Victorian England and each element done with wicked glee.
In other hands, this might feel overstuffed or directionless, but Logan has deliberately paced the show, allowing the characters and their relationships to shine through. They speak at each other in flowing, literary monologues (see: Gladiator's "My Name is Maximus" speech), and Logan provides episode-length flashbacks that deepen the characters' relationships and provide invaluable insight into the present-day conflicts. His pilot script also serves as a masterclass in screenwriting: sparse, descriptive action and lovely, eloquent dialogue help keep the read entertaining – a page-turner in script form. There's a strong sense of dread, foreboding, and atmosphere throughout the pilot, creating an excellent set-up for an exemplary series.

Two GovLoop members provide a steady flow of information about efforts to contain the oil spill
Like a tree falling in the forest with nary a witness, will the oil spill be over when Anderson Cooper's crew packs up its cameras and rushes to the next calamity?
Not if social media has anything to say about it.
"It's day 77, and we as a whole are losing interest in the oil spill," wrote Chris Bennett in a recent blog post on GovLoop. "The top two CNN.com headlines right now are about Bobby Fischer and the heat wave. And if you prefer numbers, Google search traffic for 'oil spill' is down 63 percent since late May."
Firsthand Experience
Why is Bennett troubled by traditional media's fading focus on the oil spill?
For starters, he was one of the first people to watch oil wash ashore in Louisiana. Bennett spent two weeks in early May documenting the deployment of dams by the Army National Guard shortly after the explosion. Then in mid-June, Bennett was tapped to manage a project in which several smaller boats are vacuuming oil that has pooled in waters too shallow for barges and massive skimmers. He has been chronicling these experiences via the "Chris Bennett Crisis Blog."
Bennett is not only offering a firsthand perspective on clean-up efforts but also sharing detailed answers to questions such as, "What impact will a hurricane have on the oil spill?" and "What is a relief well?" Moreover, he's turned a spotlight on the heroic efforts of the 2,000-plus men and women of the National Guard and Coast Guard who have "dropped everything to work around-the-clock protecting our coast and wildlife from the threat of oil — sleeping in bunk trailers, working long days in the sand and hot sun, then getting up to do it all over again."
In many ways, Bennett's blog coverage cuts through the sensationalism we see on TV, tells the untold stories and helps us understand the full effect on Gulf Coast communities.
A Richness of Resources
Meanwhile, Sara Estes Cohen, who provides support to the Homeland Security Department's First Responder Communities of Practice, has set up Gulf Coast oil spill forums on GovLoop and Facebook.
Rather than using the forums to berate BP or fume about failed attempts to stop the spill from spreading, members have compiled an impressive list of links to government agencies and organizations that are using social media to report on ongoing developments. By linking to sites that range from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's interactive Gulf Response map at GeoPlatform.gov to the use of Twitter by the Louisiana Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness to deliver timely messages and respond to people's concerns, members hope to apply lessons from this crisis to future events.
Moreover, they've been aggregating Really Simple Syndication feeds with spill-related news, analyzing BP's crisis communications campaigns — and its early neglect of social media — and posting photos and videos from on-the-ground reporters, such as Bennett.
Even though the Cooper crew will soon set sail for new shores, Gulf Coast residents, concerned government employees and contractors will continue to share stories about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Of course, the real test of social media's value will be its ability to help us capitalize on the lessons and mitigate future misfortunes.
