The waterfall Model illustrates the software development process in a linear sequential flow. This means that any phase in the development process begins only if the previous phase is complete. The waterfall approach does not define the process to go back to the previous phase to handle changes in requirement. Therefore, different projects may follow different approaches to handle such situations.
What is Waterfall methodology?
The waterfall approach is the earliest approach that was used for software development. Initially, most projects followed the waterfall approach because they did not focus on changing requirements.
Waterfall Approach Phases
1. Conception: Triggers when a problem is perceived. This phase involves identifying goals to be achieved after the problem is solved, estimating benefits in the new system over the current system, and identifying other areas that are affected by the solution. This phase also involves and developing the business case for the project. A business case provides the information that a manger needs to decide whether to support a proposed project, before resources are committed to its development.
2. Initiation: Involves a macro level study of the customer requirements. This phase also involves defining alternative solutions to the customer requirements and cost-benefit justification of these alternatives.
3. Analysis: Involves carrying out detailed study of the customer requirements and arriving at the exact requirements of the proposed system. The phase involves freezing the requirements before the design phase begins.
4. Design: Involves translating the identified requirements into a logical structure, called design that can be implemented in a programming logic.
5. Construction: Involves integrating and testing all the modules developed in the previous phase as a complete system.
6. Integration and Testing: Involves integrating and testing all the modules developed in the previous phase as a complete system.
7. Implementation and maintenance: Involves converting the new system design into operation. This may involve implementing the software system and training the operating staff before the software system is functional.
The waterfall approach assumes that requirements are stable and frozen across the project plan. However, this is usually not true in case of large projects where requirements may evolve across the development process.

MG mulls Iran deal LONDON — MG Rover reportedly is close to signing an agreement that calls for supplying thousands of vehicles to Iran. Such a move would help boost the U.K. automaker's comeback after its sell-off last year by BMW AG. The latest deal was brokered with the help of the British government, published reports say. Models involved include the 75, 45 and 25. It's not yet clear whether they will be exported in kits for assembly or as fully built.

By Marilynn McLachlan on 11th December 2012, in Celebrity, Hot Gossip
As a probation violation and new assault charges threaten to see Lindsay Lohan spending Christmas behind bars, the star's financial situation has become so dire she has reportedly had to borrow money from friends in order to pay her rent.
The 26-year-old recently borrowed money from Charlie Sheen in order to pay some of the $280,000 in taxes she is said to owe the IRS, but the troubled star didn't help her financial situation when she backed out of a TV deal.
TMZ reports the Mean Girls star pulled out of a deal to appear on the home renovation show Million Dollar Decorators. "Sources close to Lindsay tell us she agreed to film the segment for the show earlier this year – and in exchange, the people behind MDD spent $200,000 [NZ$239,000] on expensive furniture and other trappings for her house," TMZ reports. "We're told Lindsay was initially co-operative – filming a furniture shopping segment back in March and spending several more days shooting in the home before the renovations."
Lindsay is said to have stopped returning the TV producers' calls as she tries to back out of her rental agreement, which sees her paying $9600 a month on her Beverly Hills home.
"She tried to get out of the lease and move out early, but we're told the owners of the home told LiLo the penalty for breaking the lease was massive," says the source.
For more on Lindsay's dramas see this week's issue.

Read Jackson City Schools New Policy That Hopes to Save the Painting of Jesus
The ACLU of Ohio and the Freedom from Religion Foundation have filed a lawsuit against the Jackson City school district over a depiction of Jesus that hangs in a district middle school.
But in an effort to keep the painting, the district passed a policy at its last board meeting declaring some parts of the school a "limited public forum."
According to the newly passed policy, as long as the painting hangs in a space that is considered a limited public forum for student speech, and other student organizations are allowed to hang similar images of "inspirational figures," the painting of Jesus should be protected as private speech.
"Our position on the portrait hasn't changed," says Nick Dorner of the ACLU of Ohio. He says the school will have to include whatever policies they pass in their court case.
But, he says, "we still think it's an unconstitutional endorsement of one religion by a school."
You can read the entire policy below, and decide for yourself.

Sometimes life has a very sweet symmetry. This weekend I travel to Mexico, to stand on the Mayan ruins of Tulum. Last weekend I stood in Sudeley, a honey-stoned English castle set among fresh green fields and doused in the history of the Tudors (it was the home of King Henry VIII's final wife, Katherine Parr, and once had Queen Elizabeth herself running around the place in the days before she inherited the Q word.)
The link, in each of these cases, was one good friend from years gone by (I'm talking travel links here, not the Tudor laws of succession.) A friend who stood in the small parish church that lives at Sudeley to begin a lifetime of adventure with the words "I do."
And that same friend who stood with me on the rocks of Tulum, getting on for (cough, splutter) thirteen years ago.
What Is It Like To Go Back To Mexico?
I'm curious to see what awaits me in Mexico. The last time I was there I took overnight buses, camped by the border of Guatemala and was given a machete from locals for the purpose of self-defence.
Though an "experience" now, I'm rather hoping it doesn't happen again.
This time I'll be travelling for work, rather than student adventure, and staying at the luxurious looking Viceroy Riviera Maya. There's no doubt that the accommodation looks better: jungle villas with hammocks and plunge pools rather than a tent in the middle of nowhere or the splendours of a police-checked overnight bus.
Yet I hope that the thrill of seeing ruins on the edge of the ocean won't have diminished at all. That the chill of the sacrifices that took place there isn't lost in the beauty of the place. That the joy of travel remains.
That the photographs I take will be better.
And most of all, I hope that the friendships I make there will be even half as good as those that were there before.
I'll see in you in Mexico.
Pssst – I'm back now! Read about my experiences in Mexico over here.

Take your measurements when you begin your diet and take it every 30 days. (You can record it on SP.) If you hit a plateau or feel discouraged by lack of progress on the scale you still have a way to see measurable results.
A real wake -up call for me was taking my measurements. I had my husband help me. So that I would get them right. WOW!! It was embarassing. It made me VERY aware of how big I REALLY WAS. When I need motivation. I think of the day We took my measurements.
Take your measurements at the beginning of your weight loss journey. On the weeks you're not losing weight check your measurements again. Chances are that you may not have lost weight but you may have lost inches.I really regret not taking my measurements. I know I've lost inches but I always wonder how much I've lost.
I have a tendancy to not want to weigh myself . . I get frustrated if the number doesn't go down when I think it should go down 20 So I have started taking my measurements. I weigh myself only once a month, and measure myself twice a month. The measurements change and it gives me a little confidence boost! 104 I like seeing the measurements go down.

BRUSSELS (AP) -- Seven-time Grand Slam tennis champion Justine Henin is expecting her first child.
The retired Belgian player announced Wednesday on her Facebook page that she is pregnant and the baby is due in March.
Henin says she and partner Benoit Bertuzzo "have some nice news to announce. Yes, soon there will be three of us.''
The former top-ranked player retired for the first time in 2008. She made a comeback in 2010 and retired for good the following year because of an elbow injury.
Henin won four French Opens, two US Opens and one Australian Open.

MEP Assaulted by Bilderberg Security to Take Legal Action
Posted By paul On June 12, 2011 @ 1:55 am In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Paul Joseph Watson
June 12, 2011

The Italian European Parliament member who was violently assaulted by security guards outside the site of the elitist Bilderberg conference at the Suvretta hotel in St. Moritz has vowed to take legal action.
Mario Borghezio attempted to enter the conference on Thursday but was met with a hostile response from security and police. Reports circulating at the time suggested that Borghezio had been pushed away and even had his nose broken.
"Borghezio announced at a press conference on Friday that he would bring legal charges in connection with the incident," reports Swiss Info.
The Italian Embassy in Bern has also demanded an investigation be launched into what transpired.
Borghezio's attempt to crash Bilderberg as a symbolic protest against the secretive group's inherently undemocratic foundation was followed by a similar effort led by Swiss People's Party representative Dominique Baettig on Friday night.
There was no violence towards Baettig, but like Borghezio he was asked to leave by police.
Before he arrived, Baettig had warned police and security guards in a letter that there would be significant consequences if protesters were mistreated or prevented from exercising their free speech rights.
Today is the final day of Bilderberg 2011, and with the astounding events of yesterday, when Bilderberg elitists were confronted by angry protesters outside the Bilderberg security perimeter, globalist attendees will probably be glad to be leaving.

I guess we were about due to go down this alley again
2010: http://teslamotors.com/forum/forums/emf-radiation
2011: http://teslamotors.com/forum/forums/emf-dangers
Not worth worrying about, in my opinion. Everything has some kind of hazards associated with it, including getting out of bed. The biggest hazard you will face driving your Model S is the same one you face driving any other car - other drivers.
Embrace the fact that you're going to die some day and enjoy life while it lasts.
Your headset/earbuds and connector wire produce vastly more EMF exposure.
This is not correct about the earbuds or headsets and one major difference is that I use my headset for 10 minutes a day and drive me car for hours a day.
The size of the electric motor on the back of the Tesla model is is very large and for sure produces high electromagnetic field around it. I assume Tesla took the measures for shielding it but I was looking for a more professional measured numbers reply. If someone has the numbers.
Also the rear seat in the Tesla will be used by kids which are much more sensitive to the effects of EMF and do not have the above exposures you refer to from cell phone use.
Tesla team, do you have measured numbers you can share?
"This is not correct about the earbuds or headsets and one major difference is that I use my headset for 10 minutes a day and drive me car for hours a day."
Haha, I would have expected it to be the reverse or at least closer to even for many people.
I don't care about EMF. I'll bathe in it. It gives me super powers!
If you're concerned, then I think maybe you should move to the moon.
I'm not worried about EMF, but has anyone considered the impact of a 25' coil of wire with 80 amps being fully electrified while the car is charging? I'm thinking here about a magnetic field being set up around the coil.
With 25' of cable on the HPWC, but with it mounted 3' from the charging port, there is a lot of excess cable.
Nothing to worry about is there?
No, there's nothing to worry about. You might as well worry about your house wiring or your electric stove. Let's put it this way: If you smoke, you don't need to worry about any other health issues. If you don't then weight and/or alcohol are what you should worry about. EMF is about number 10,000 on the list. Millions of people have sat for years in front of CRT screens with no ill effects.
Maybe if we line them up properly we could generate 5 Tesla images? (MRI joke folks :o)
I wasn't really worried about health, but the magnet attracting metal objects. But I guess not ...
If someone has a real valid professional answer please reply. We can skip all the guessing answers.
Thank you.
While I have read many older tesla blogs on the topic and am comfortable there should not be an emf issue my wife is very concerned what the emf readings in the Model S will be like during charging. This is important to us since our garage is directly below our 7 yer old sons bedroom. Wold greatly appreciate if customers or tesla could provide accurate data on is this during charging before I confirm/ finalize my order Thanks!
When the "valid professional" tells you the actual numerical value of the electromagnetic fields how will you react? Will you insist it should be zero, unlike every grid-connected building in the world? Will you forever worry about it while you drive the car?
How can you travel down a street or highway behind cars and trucks that are designed so the owners leave the stinky gases behind them for others to breathe in? If that were safe, why isn't the "tailpipe" shortened to save money?
The most dangerous thing about driving the Model S is getting into an accident while going at high speed. While the car is designed to minimize that danger, it is quite real and (statistically) measurable.
Fear of EMF is not measurable, and hazards of EMF exposure at less than microwave frequencies have yet to be shown at all, and exist only in the minds of the imaginative.
Microwaves can burn tissue. Ultraviolet radiation can cause skin cancers. XRays and other high energy particles (the higher the frequency, the higher the energy) can cause cancer.
Perhaps the CDC hasn't issued a warning about house wiring because of a conspiracy? Ooooohh...
Relax. Enjoy life. Stop worrying about nothing. If you want to worry, make it about real things. There are plenty of people dying of famine, war, disease, etc. Worry about that.
As for EMF fields during charging, they're the same type as those emitted during use of any electrical appliance. If the current is high, the EMF is high. But if you double the distance from it, you lose 3/4 of the field strength. So if your charging cabling is ten feet from your son and the current is ten times that of the light one foot away from him, then the car charging is giving one tenth the field that the light is. (1/10 * 1/10 * 10) If you're not worried about house lighting and other "plugged in things", don't worry about the car or its charging.
Tesla has in the past advertised for EMI/EMR specialists and there are numerous patents applied for and some granted to Tesla Motors.
Issued patent US8242739 indicates that the AC motor does have some EMI filters in at least one AC motor design.
You may be able to give someone a call at Telsa and have a chat with them. There's a variety of folks' names listed on the designs, I'm sure that in some form they'd be able to talk about their testing.
Turn off the monitor on which you are reading this, now! It is zapping you up close with more EMF than Tesla charger at full load.
Some people need to relocate to 1700, stat. Life expectancy, about 43.
As an engineer and former nuclear power plant operator specializing in radiological controls I am confident there is nothing to worry about with emf from the model s.
That being said, the car is so awesome I might still buy it even if someone demonstrated that there was a chance my testicles would shrivel up and fall off from driving it.
tesla.mr... +1. Funny.
Note that the EMI filters they put on the motor was strictly to stop any radiation from interfering with other equipment as per FCC rules. Otherwise you might "hear" the motor when the radio was on, or it might disturb cellular communication or WiFi.
The filters were not put in to reduce the EMF going through people. As an engineer, I've worked on projects that had to put on similar EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) filters.
I've read threads on a lot of different subjects on this forum, and I must say, it is striking how different the tone of the responses is on this one than on any other one. It's a perfectly legitimate question, but it seems that people are more concerned about setting their own minds at ease by ridiculing it.
If you don't know the answer or don't care about the issue, then why don't you just go elsewhere on the forum or keep quiet?
I can rebut many of the ridiculous responses that are being given, but it's not worth it.
It's not really a legitimate question. I suppose there's nothing wrong with being curious if you really don't know, but we should not give the impression that there's some sort of serious medical/scientific debate going on.
There is no credible evidence that the kind of EM people are subjected to every day is harmful (bullet trains, power tools, power lines, elevators, cars, cell phones, and on and on)
EM fields and electromagnetic radiation (which includes radio, X-ray, etc) are not the same type of thing.
The "concerns" that have come up are from people trying to claim living underneath powerlines has caused them some harm, same as people trying to scare you about flouride or vaccinations.
These "concerns" have been around for a long time (after all, large EM fields have been around for decades), and it has been studied.
To carry on as if there is a debate about the affects would be disingenuous.
It must be lower than even a low 0.3 Tesla MRI because otherwise they would've had to have pacemaker warnings on the Roadster and the S.
Not saying its nothing, but I suspect it gives off less EMF than an iPad.
re: olanmills
Your response is qualitatively different than many of the others that were given, both in tone and substance. It's a legitimate response, without ridiculing the question.
However, while it may be true that no health effects from EMF have been proven, I believe the converse is also true. It has not been proven that there are not any long term health effects from prolonged exposure. Also, riding on top of a powerful battery in an enclosed area is a bit different than being 30 feet below power wires in an open area.
I'm not saying there is an adverse health impact; I'm saying the jury is still out. For me personally, I don't intend to let it stop me from buying my Model S.
Hard to prove a negative like that. Prove you are not the Queen of the Space Unicorns in disguise!
Remember that electromagnetic radiation drops with the square of the distance from the source. So the passenger compartment (front especially but also back seats) are located many inches (if not many feet) away from the motor and motor controller. I expect that there will be a very low (comparable to background magnetic fields in your living room).
In any event, I (really) do have an industrial gauss meter and will post some readings after my Sig arrives.
Note to Tesla: you really should push my car to the front of the queue so I can make these readings post haste!
Re: Brian H.
My point is that it is an area that is under active investigation currently. It is actually possible to prove a negative. It's not the same as, for example, trying to prove that you never did or never said something.
Anyway, I'm signing off. I'vr had enough of this topic.
The wording of the negative(s) can be tweaked indefinitely, requiring impossible numbers of "samples" and measurements. Calculations show there is little or no EMF for the passengers. Prove that there is.
As much as everyone would like to ignore this question, it is most certainly relevant from a cell biology perspective. You'll notice from one of the threads above (or another) that I got beat up pretty badly when discussing it several months ago. This board is probably not the proper forum for an in depth discussion of this topic. To be clear, this is not a criticism of Tesla or the car, but intelligent humans need to be aware that the final word on EMF safety is most certainly not in. There is no debate that EMF can and does affect cellular function. The question is whether the effect is pathophysiologic. I discussed this issue with a Tesla engineer two years ago and I can tell you that occupant EMF exposure was definitely a consideration that factored into the final design of the car (to Tesla's credit). There is ongoing investigation into the effects of low and high level EMF on biological systems. You will hear more about this topic as the peer-reviewed data becomes available. Smoking and low level ionizing radiation seemed pretty harmless in the fifties. Keep an open mind.
+1 Bennett R- More to learn in other topics at this time.
I'm going with the null hypothesis until i see evidence to the contrary.
I'm not too worried about the DC battery. If anything,I'd be concerned with the PEM that produces variable frequency AC.
I've probably got a few hundred yards of 120 and 240 VAC running through my walls and ceilings, and DC resistive heating in the two upstairs floors, and 120 AC resistive heating in the basement.
Come to think of it, I've probably got a lot more wire than I thought.
Besides, once I got used to the idea of growing a second head, I found it quite usefull as he scans this blog when I'm sleeping. I miss the family jewels, but my breeding days were over, and besides, they probably needed to go. The doctor seemed rather frightned.
@ken I wasn't really worried about health, but the magnet attracting metal objects.
Magnetic fields weaken fast with distance, you can hardly measure it outside of the car at all. Also aluminum resists magnetic fields, so that works as natural shield. Also it is three-phase rotating field, each phase combined would be zero field, so at the outside of the motor there is practically no field at all. Definitely nothing that affects human tissues, except by nutjobs imagination-caused placebo-effect. Fumes from gasoline engines would be about gazillion times more dangerous. Mildly speaking.
There is no magnet in the TM motor. The magnetic fields are generated "on demand" by current in the coils. No permanent magnet, no rare earths, etc. Most advanced on the planet, AFAICT.
BTW, how doesn't it concern these people that ICE cars have exactly same things. They have generator which is basically a electric motor in reverse, coil to increase battery 12V to kilovolt-area, spark plugs that cause a very strong pulsing EMF. Car stereo system loudspeakers are much closer to passengers than electric motor in BEV and those have variable frequency magnetic fields. All the fans into cabine that blow air in it have small electric motors.
etc. etc. etc.
Those of you who have been driving Roadsters all these years, I'm afraid I have some bad news - you're going to die someday. It might not be from your emf exposure, but if not it will be from something else.

Road restrictions and encroachment issues resurfaced during the county commission last week
The encroachment problem and a gate blocking access to a county road have apparently occurred in Nine Mile Canyon.
"We went out and compared old state road maps with where the landowner has placed his fence and he has placed it in the county's right of way," explained Dave Levanger, county planning and zoning director. "In some places, it is 10 feet into that zone."
Commissioners suggested sending a letter to the landowner to let the individual know about the problem.
But Gene Strate indicated that the county attorney's office had drafted and sent a letter prior to the commission meeting. The landowner's attorney had already responded to the correspondence.
"According to the letter, the county road supervisor told the landowner he could put the fence there," said Strate.
However, Commissioner Bill Krompel, who oversees the county road department, disputed the landowner attorney's claim.
Krompel said road department supervisor Ray Hanson never approved the location of the fence.
According to the commissioner, Hanson talked to the landowner, but never told the individual that a fence could put on the county's right of way.
"There were some road line markers put in. But he was never told that was the edge of the right of way," said Krompel.
Levanger indicated that the fence had been moved right up to the markers.
"We need that width there; that is one of the few places there is a straight area in the canyon," said Levanger. "That narrowing could also cause snow removal problems."
The commissioners decided to work with the landowner to resolve any miscommunication regarding the matter.
But county lawmakers still insisted that the fence must be moved back to the line where the county's right of way ends.
The issue of the locked gate was raised at the meeting by Commissioner Steve Burge.
Burge questioned why a gate had been installed across Minnie Maude Canyon.
"The county didn't install that gate," said Krompel. "We don't know who did it. It was discovered by county personnel just a few weeks ago."
The gate blocks a county road and it is illegal to tie up a public right of way without obtaining permission from Carbon government officials or representatives.
The commission decided to figure out who installed the gate and ask them to remove it, and if the request is not responded to, the county will pull the gate out to ensure access to the road.
The commission also heard from Starene Bynum, a resident of a home on 2500 East near Airport Road. Bynum requested that the county put up some kind of handicapped, speed limit sign on her road because her handicap makes it difficult for her to cross the road to get to her mailbox.
"I have older neighbors who also walk along that road and people drive very fast along there," she said. "I am concerned for all of us."
She also requested that the county look at putting a walkway or sidewalk in the area.
Commissioners asked some questions about the area and agreed that signs could be put in to help slow down the traffic, but that a sidewalk would probably be cost prohibitive since there were only six homes on the road.
Action on two oil and gas leases also highlighted the meeting.
The first lease for ConocoPhillips was approved by the commission. The lease was contracted for five years with the company paying $150 per acre for the lease of 16 acres. The company will also pay a 15 percent royalty for any production from the land.
The second lease, however, came under the scrutiny of the commision. The lease requested by EnergyWest was for a substantial amount of land north of Drunkards Wash. But, the lease only offered 12.5 percent royalties, and a $35 per acre payment.
"We have leased five to six thousand acres in the area and these lands we need to lease from you are just loose ends the county owns because of tax sales," said Dave Terry who was representing the company.
Commissioners noted that they didn't have a problem with the $35 per acre because of the larger amount of land (250 acres) that was being leased, but they did feel the 12.5 percent offered as a royalty was too low.
"We just approved a lease for 15 percent," said Krompel. "I think your company needs to match that."
Terry argued that the difference between the two lands justified a difference in royalties. He said the ground leased by ConocoPhillips will be in production, while the drillings on EnergyWest parcels of land would only be exploratory, making it highly speculative that anything would ever be produced.
"And based on research we have done we haven't seen that royalties that high should be paid," he told the commission.
Levanger pointed out that those lands were leased years ago by another company and that they decided not to drill on them because of some wildlife issues the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has expressed."
The commission tabled the issue until further study could be done on the issue and also so Terry could get back with his company to see if the royalty rates could be raised.

So, I've been back for over two… er, no sorry, three weeks now. What the heck have I been doing all this time except updating my blog and tweeting and facebooking and emailing!?! Well, I actually have been doing a lot of emailing, but I've also made two trip to the sierras to go sportclimbing- one day at the Column of the Giants and two days in Tuolumne. It's sooo beautiful up there right now! And the valley will just keep getting better and better… but more on that later.
Quick Oz Recap from Ethan Pringle
K so, I went to OZ with two serious projects in mind, the first being Dia Koyomada's endurance roof The Wheel of Life. I managed to send this problem after about three days (and one really shotty humid day where I made reverse progress). No doubt I was psyched to have climbed this spectacular piece of rock, but I was almost a little dissapointed that it wasn't harder for me… I mean, If I wouldn't have sent it the day I did, then I probably wouldn't have sent it before Mark and Mike (M&M) left, and I probably wouldn't have had time to do a bunch of other problems I wanted to do, so yeah, I was psyched that it came together quick… I guess I could have made it a lot harder on myself? The two major things that made the climb easy for me were tricky, feet fisrt/tall person beta that I found for the crux the second V9, Cave Man, and more crucially on the RP crux of the entire problem that comes at the end of roof on Dead Can't Dance where I kicked my foot out right- a sequence that made that peoblem feel more like tenuous V9 after I had done it a couple times, instead of V11. Also, I found this slammer kneebar halfway through Cave Man, only like ten easier moves from the start of DCD that I could basically get it all back on… it was almost like starting over there… almost like cheating… We got video of the send so hopefully I'll have that edited and online at some point.
The other climb I really wanted to do in the Grampians was, well, the hardest established route on the Taipan wall- The Groove Train. At first, all I knew about the Groove Train was that it was meant to be 33 (5.14B) and that the Taipan wall looked amazing, so how could it not be good?!? But after Jake Besnehan sent me these pics of one of his RP attmepts on the route, then I was REALLY keen to get on it!
That first day on the Tiapan wall, while a little humid, was one of my best days of the trip and probably the best day of sport cragging I'd had since my shoulder surgery. I think I did my favorive all time 26(12c)- The Invisible Fist of Professor Hiddich Smiddich.
Pretty good day, nah? I mean, the favorite all ways seems like that last one… there are a lot of classic 12cs and ds out there, but take my word that these ones are really good. I also tried to go up up the extension of Groovy…. yep, the Groove Train, and got past the first cux, and one of two twenty foot runouts, but I almost broke what I thought at the time was a crucial hold at the redpoint crux and had to take a huge fall (a fall I would take a coupe more tomes before the red point), so I left my draws on it and vowed to return after my bouldering-only accompliaces left me.
It was an easy vow to make considering how good the route was… I've only done two, maybe three other 5.14s that are as good, in my opinion, as the Groove Train- one is The Bleeding at Mill Creek, and the other is The All Around Routine at Ibex. What makes these three climbs special? Location and setting of the climb, asthetics and beauty of the line, funess of the moves and the cruxes, and no fucking chipped holds! Obviously, like I said before, there are lots of really classic 5.14s in the world, but these are the three that I've actually done that stick out the most in my mind… and like the previous two climbs that fall into this category for me, I was in love again, and I wanted to send.
After M&M left on the 27th of June, I had one good day on the Groove Train which I used to pracitce sequences and refine beta. My tips were trashed from the day of bouldering before and I needed a rest day… unfortunately two days later the rain came. It rained for 24 hours straight that first day, and after sitting under the shelter all day, freezing my arse off while reading my book, I came down with a cold… lameness. I was seriously considering just leaving my gear on the GT and bailing back home early. In the end I stuck it out though, through almost ten days of rainy and humid, basically unclimbable conditoins, and sent the groove train! I even tried to repeat it the next day wearing a friend's headcam. I didn't manage the repeat but I did get some pretty cool POV footage that I've never really seen of climbing, especially on this type of rock, before. Below are a coupe pics that Simon Carter took of my second serious RP attempt on the Groove Train, two days before the send. Before this go I had pretty much given up on actually doing the route because I wanted to go to the Bluies and I thought the GT would take more time (and skin) to send then I had, but after falling on the LAST hard move (the move is about V3, I was just too pumped…), I decided to stay and do this route no matter if I made it to the Bluies or not. Fortunately I sent after one rest day and got a ride to NSW the day after that, but it was such a killer route I would have stayed until the end of my trip to complete it.
I was realy happy to leave the grampians having sent both of the climbs I most wanted to do. I did however spend 5 out of the six total weeks of my trip there, pretty much confined withing the 30KM section of Australia between the Bogan town of Horsham and the Mt Stapylton campground. It would have been nice to travel around a bit more, see more of the country, and maybe even go for a surf… but I guess that's the sacrifice one has to make if you want to send your projects, and to me, it's a worthy sacrifice.
I spent my last week down under in the Blue Mountains which is a couple hours drive Northwest of Sydney. The Blueies as they are called, is a beautiful place. While the rock there isn't quite what it is in the Grampians, the scenery and more importantly the community there is amazing. I felt like I was family to the lovely people that I had the pleasure of spending time with there. It was great not to be wrapped up in projects on the rock and just enjoy my time there… although I was roped into doing an impromptu slideshow at the local gym-in-construction that turned into a huge technical ordeal (Aido!?!). But quite a few people showed up, my show seemed relatively entertaining and well received, and it was great to just be accepted into the community with such hospitality.
The last couple days of trip my were spent hanging with an old friend, Carlie LeBreton (formerly Carlie Happ) and her husband Rob LeBreton just down the hill from the Bluies in a nice little town called Penrith. Carlie came to the US twelve years ago and stayed at my house and traveled with my family and I to youth comps in Cali and Utah. I remember having a blast with her when she visited and it was great to reconnect with her, hang out with her and her husband (and their awesome dog Spice) and share some laughs. We even spent a fun day climbing at Nawra.
On my very last day in OZ, Chris Webb who had just returned from the states, took me to a little bouldering wall near his house in Sydney, and after he showed me some pics and video from a few other areas around sydney, I realized how much freaken awesome bouldering is in and around that city! It must be one of the best cities to live in if you're a boulderer. There really is a lot to do there.
There were quite a lot of boulders and routes in the Gramps and the Arapiles (pronounced affectionately Ara-piles) that I just didn't have time to get on or send, that I'm psyched to return for… ya know, unless you're the strongest climber in the world and you spend months in a place, there's almost always more to return for.
So, I'm skipping school (again…) this fall to road trip around the states. My plan is to buy a camper rig of some sort and spend a good amount of time between as many good areas as I can mangae to visit… a few areas that are definitely on the list are Yosemite, Tuolumne, and pretty much all of the high Sierras, Mt Clark and the St George area, the Horn in Utah and the Red and the New… I have a lot on my plate. I was originally planning on spending all of the fall season in Spain, sport climbing at the newer limestone areas, but I have so many routes I want to do closer to home that that will have to wait until the spring… I'm pretty lucky I have these kind of options.
I'd like to take a few minutes to thank everyone that helped me out on my trip, including Mark and Mike, Kent, Ruben, Simon and Monique, JT and Britnay, Andy, Aido, Claire and Archie, Julian and Lee, and Carlie, Rob and Spice… And thanks for the ride to the airport Chris! To those I forgot, just go ahead and curse me!
Thanks for reading. Here is the flickr set with all my pics from my camera. Sorry, there are almost 300 pics in the set, but there are some really good ones in there. Anyway, stay tuned and hopefully I'll have lots more to post on this web page in the near future. Ciao for now.

Even as Hurricane Arthur rips along the East Coast, today Sheri Fink won the nonfiction prize from the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance for "Five Days at Memorial" (Crown), her book about the deadly treatment of patients at the Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Fink, a former physician who works for the New York Times, won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting for her coverage of the acts committed at the hospital in 2005. "Five Days at Memorial," which grew out of her reporting, also won the 2013 National Book Critics Circle award for nonfiction.
In the citation released today, the SIBA judges praised her book for "bringing the reader into a hospital fighting for its life and into a conversation about the most terrifying form of health care rationing."
Responding to news of her latest award, Fink said via e-mail, "On this Fourth of July, I'm thinking about what national treasures our independent booksellers are. SIBA was one of the earliest and most important champions of 'Five Days at Memorial,' and it means a great deal that booksellers in the communities most affected by Hurricane Katrina chose this book for their nonfiction prize."
Although she is in New York, where the weather is currently overcast and cool, her coverage of Katrina makes her especially concerned about the current storm. "Watching Hurricane Arthur lash the East Coast today," she said, "is a reminder that despite our still-vulnerable infrastructure, the gaps in our personal and institutional preparedness, and our short-sighted reluctance to invest more, what we've learned from the shame of Katrina is that we need to do better for disaster-struck communities. That is at least a beginning."
Other SIBA winners announced today in Columbia, S.C.:
Fiction: "Whistling Past the Graveyard," by Susan Crandall (Gallery).
Poetry: "The Collected Poems of Cathy Smith Bowers," by Cathy Smith Bowers (Press 53).
Young Adult: "The Moon and More," by Sarah Dessen (Viking).
Children's: "The Girl from Felony Bay," by J.E. Thompson (Walden Pond).
Cooking: "Pickles, Pigs & Whiskey: Recipes from My Three Favorite Food Groups and Then Some," by John Currence (Andrews McMeel).
The annual SIBA prize winners are chosen by owners of independent bookstores to honor "the finest in the tradition of Southern storytelling." To be eligible, a book must be set in the South, or the author must be from the South.

SALEM, Va. -- Con artists are still trying to defraud victims of Tropical Depression Jeanne, disaster officials said today.
One woman received a telephone call from a person posing as a federal agent, telling her to call an 800 number and follow the directions, said Marianne C. Jackson, who is heading up the recovery effort for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The woman was asked for her bank account and routing numbers, and was told this was necessary to receive a $10,000 grant, Jackson said.
"Fortunately, the intended victim ignored the instructions and called our Disaster Recovery Center in Salem," she said. "This was absolutely the right thing to do."
Jackson said staff at the center told her the call was a fake, and the woman called authorities.
There are only two toll-free numbers where storm victims can get information on their claim, said Michael M. Cline, state coordinating officer for the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM).
Those numbers are 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or 1-800-462-7585 (TTY) for the hearing and speech impaired. They are the same numbers to call to register, Cline said.
"Con artists often show up after disasters," Cline said. "We want people to be aware and be careful."
All FEMA and VDEM workers wear official ID, Cline said, and victims should not be hesitant to ask to see it.
Jackson said FEMA never charges for aid. "We think if the woman had followed those instructions, she would have been told to send money somewhere," she said. "Everyone should understand that would never happen."
Suspected fraud should be reported to the Consumer Protection Hotline of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 1-804-786-2042 or 1-800-552-9963. Those lines are open from 8:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
President Bush signed a major disaster declaration for the cities of Roanoke and Salem, and the counties of Alleghany, Craig, Giles, Montgomery, Floyd, Patrick and Roanoke on October 18. Botetourt County was added later. The declaration begins the process of releasing federal aid to homeowners, renters and business owners who suffered losses in the flood.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages Citizen Corps, the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.

From Enemy to Brother: The Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews, 1933–1965 By John Connelly (Harvard University Press, 376 pp., $35) Across the violent years of the twentieth century, the Roman Catholic Church underwent a trial of conscience that ultimately brought about a radical transformation in its official doctrine regarding the Jews. Church tradition had long held that the Jewish people were abandoned by God and condemned to wander the Earth, their religion nullified by the new covenant with Christ.

Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration, and the Rule of Law By Richard A. Epstein (Harvard University Press, 233 pp., $29.95) Richard Epstein is the same as he ever was. Part erudite scholar of Roman law and the common law, part provocative intellectual who promotes a view that he calls "classical liberalism," Epstein is relentlessly true to himself, and this gives his works a unity of tone and content that both pleases and distresses.

Recorded music sales for the first half of 2013 were up for the first time in 12 years in The Netherlands, according to the territory's trade body NVPI.
Turnover for the industry increased by 1.9%. Although the physical market experienced a decline of 18% in turnover, the digital market increased from 15 million to 24 million (up 60%).
According to an NVPI release, the digital increase was mainly due to subscription and advertising revenue from streaming services – where 'sales' grew 131% in the first half.
"The good news is that after 12 years [we have found the way up]," said NVPI and Universal's Kees van der Hoeven. "Consumers have clearly embraced streaming services. But the physical sales are still very important and we are very pleased with the relaunch of Fame and Free Record Shop."
NVPI director Paul Solleveld added: "The combination of user services [and] affordable and effective enforcement against illegal supply is essential for the music market, investments in the business and continue to allow in new talent."

Eminem a.k.a. Slim Shady a.k.a. Marshall Mathers is stepping into the ring with "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter for new boxing drama, "Southpaw." Dreamworks bought the pitch in the room, and not just because the rapper stared at them intimidatingly. Deadline has the deets:
Like in Eminem's 2002 screen starring debut 8 Mile, Southpaw will be fueled by the struggles that inform Eminem's music and mirror his life. Eminem will play a fast-rising welterweight boxer who brawls his way to the title, only to see his world crash down around him due to tragedy. The movie is about his fight to reclaim past glory.
Hmmmm, seems an awful lot like The Fighter, but I have complete confidence in Sutter, who also wrote for "The Shield," one of the best dramas of all time and if you disagree with me I'll cut you. He'll begin writing immediately so he can complete a draft of the script before he gets back together in February with his "SOA" team. Eminem should take this time to hit the gym and dye his hair back the platinum blond to achieve ultimate Ivan Drago-ness.
Consider posting a comment.
Eminem's performance in "8 mile" wasn't bad, this sounds interesting!
Hopefully he doesn't have to throw up in the bathroom before a fight

Former Sgt. Logan Black began suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after he returned from his deployment in Iraq in 2007. His reoccurring dreams centered on one thing; the fate of Diego, the yellow Labrador that sniffed-out bombs and weapons alongside him. Black could not rest until he found the dog.
From 2006 to 2007, Sergeant Black developed a strong bond with Diego as the two searched for explosives and weapons in Fallujah. Black began training the bomb sniffing dog when he was still a puppy at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.
Together the duo survived several attacks including an IED that hit the back of a vehicle that carried them. Black said the jolt was so strong, "Diego leaped from the back seat and shook uncontrollably."
Black always worried whether the incident caused Diego to develop PTSD. "After that attack, any kind of loud noises would send him into a similar state," he said. Black calmed the dog by handing him his favorite toy, a hard rubber cone.
Since leaving the service in May 2007, Black began calling his old Army unit every six months to find out how Diego was doing. The former sergeant never received an answer.
Finally he started a Facebook page and Twitter campaign to locate and adopt Diego. That led to contact from the dog's second handler, who said Diego had been sent back to the U.S. after serving an additional yearlong deployment in Iraq.
On Monday Black found out that Diego, now 8, is stationed at Lackland Air Force Base. He is being used to train new soldiers how to be dog handlers.
Black also learned about a little known program set up by the Army that gives prior handlers priority to adopt the dog they worked with in the military. Last year, 319 military dogs were adopted and 90 percent were taken home by their former handlers.
Technical Sergeant Joseph Null, who runs the adoption program at Lackland, agreed to help Black and Diego through the process once the dog retires. However there is no retirement date set for Diego at this point. Diego is still playing a vital role for the Army.
"Without dogs like Diego, there would be no military working dog program," said Null. "He's a critical asset to developing future dog handlers."
Black hopes he won't have to wait too long to be reunited with Diego. He plans to train him to be a visiting service dog for soldiers with PTSD.

Retired Diego and let former Sgt. Logan Black have his much needed friend back. Sounds like he went out of his way to find this dog, so they are clearly meant to be together.
Thanks for sharing.
let them stay together,they are trueful and faithful friends for life,thank you for sharing
Great story!! I'm so glad that Sgt. Black finally found Diego after so long. A lot of people would have given up on this search a few months into it. This proves just how much Sgt. Black loves and respects Diego. There is a bond between the two of them that is so special and precious, it should be honored with respect and dignity. My wish for Sgt. Black and Diego is that they will have a long and healthy life together when he finally comes back home.
The veteran and the dog bonded for life in the most meaningful ways and the government should show their appreciation for their service to their country and allow the dog to be adopted immediately so that he can go home to be with his loved ones.
Great story and wonderful dog.
Its time to let Diego quit the Army and be reunited with sgt Black. They both so deserve to be with eatchother!
Thank you for sharing.
Please Dear God let the Army retire Diego now as he has served our Country and let him and Black be together. Judy

Lana Del Rey performs "Burning Desire" for Jaguar's new music video.
Photo: Courtesy of Jaguar
It seems like forever ago when we first announced that Lana Del Rey was the new face of Jaguar cars (come to think of it, it kinda was...) But now, almost six months later, we've FINALLY got a first look at her new campaign! The Jaguar F-TYPE Convertible ad comes in the form of a super slick new music video for her forthcoming single "Burning Desire," penned and performed by Lana herself. The clip dropped this morning, and showcases LDR singing sultrily and giving off major glam retro vibes — what else is new?— dressed in a floor-length silk vintage gown by Ghost. The gorgeous outfit is pure Lana: retro with a body-hugging silhouette that fits her curves so perfectly, it's almost like she was POURED into the dress. It's no secret that our girl loooooves white, but it seems she's swapped her recent foray into the '80s for a tried and true classic Lana look.

Sea Salt & Vanilla Bean Caramels
Now that Christmas has come and gone, which I am quite sad about, by the way, I can start looking past treats to make just for Christmas. I couldn't help but post these, though. I did make them for Christmas while we had company at our house. (Our first Christmas in our own home in 6 years!) They were definitely a big hit and something that you cannot eat just one of!
Caramel is really very easy to make as long as you have a candy thermometer. It does take a little time and a little patience but the fruits of your labor are well worth all of that. These chewy, sweet, salty little morsels with vanilla bean flecks are sure to disappear right before your very eyes any time that you make them.
Seal Salt & Vanilla Bean Caramels
Printable Version
1 cup heavy cream
5 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces |
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped
1 ¼ tsp. sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¼ cup Lyle's golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
¼ cup water
1. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, then lightly butter parchment. Set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine cream, butter, vanilla, vanilla beans, pods, and sea salt and bring to a boil and then remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, and water to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil, without stirring but gently swirling pan, until mixture is a light golden caramel.
4. Remove the pods from the cream mixture and carefully stir cream mixture into the caramel (mixture will bubble up) and simmer, stirring frequently, until caramel registers 248°F on a candy thermometer.
5. Immediately pour into prepared baking pan and cool for 30 minutes. Sprinkle another pinch or two of salt over the top of the caramel for a nice salty crunch and let sit until completely cooled. Cut into 1-inch pieces to serve.

Provincial court judges, Alberta government recommend salary freeze
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
- Organization: Macleans.ca
- Link: http://www.macleans.ca
This June 15, 2006 article discusses the reluctance to give judges in Alberta Canada a salary increase. Lawyers for the Alberta government and provincial court judges recommended a three-year salary freeze for judges. Canadian Bar Association president, Scott A. Watson states, "self-represented litigants and non-lawyer agents are becoming more and more common, resulting in added challenges for Alberta's judges."
