Sport Climbing in Yangshuo, Chinaby Tom Skelhon Jan/2014
This article has been read 21,032 times
Yangshuo is a new destination to climbers, but with it's high quality climbing, wide variety of styles, stunning scenery and the added positives of being a little off the beaten track and culturally very different, it is gaining popularity with more and more climbers heading there. Tom Skelhon gives a little more information on why Yangshuo is a must-visit area.
Situated in rural Southern China, Yangshuo sits nestled amongst 30,000 karst limestone towers providing some of SE Asia's best sport climbing. Immersed in eastern culture and breathtaking surroundings, climbing in Yangshuo offers far more than our own European hot rock venues. The area is a popular tourist destination for Chinese and foreign folk alike, who come for the unique scenery which is imprinted on every ¥20 note. As such, the town has a vibrant cosmopolitan feel with a mixture of East and West influence featuring traditional restaurants and street vendors to karaoke bars and western style drinking holes. In contrast, a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Yangshuo, the climbing venues are situated in peaceful rural settings, overlooking fruit orchards and paddy fields.
Climbing development was initiated by the famous Todd Skinner, who in the early 1990's put up classic lines at Moon Hill and Banyan Tree. Since then, bolting in the area has seen an explosion with many new lines being put up every year, thanks to a dedicated team of Chinese and Western
developers. Now, over one thousand bolted lines have been documented.
The climbing is divided into over 25 main crags – each a separate karst tower with its own style and aspect. With a vast number of routes available, the grading runs the full length of the scale although it is often difficult to find a wide range of grades at a single venue. The climbing style between crags varies considerably with Moon Hill giving Kalymnos-esque overhanging tufa pulling on routes such as Over the Moon, 7b+, Moonwalker, 7c, and Red Dragon, 7b+. Conversely, slopey jug lines can be found at White Mountain with China White, 7b, Gin and Tonic, 8a, and uber classic Yangshuo Hotel, 7b, also home to China's hardest route Spicy Noodle, 8c+. Despite its proximity to a road, Lei Pi Shan is seen by some as the jewel of the Yangshuo scene with steep crimpy offerings including Single Life, 8a, Thunder, 7c, and Singularity, 7b, with the additional bonus of day-round shade on hot days.
Many quality lines in the 6s can also be found at numerous crags in the area. 'The Egg' with bolting around the entire circumference of the tower provides excellent climbing on hot days with routes such as Eggstreme Exposure, 6a, and Pulling Perfection, 6a+. On the other side of Yangshuo, Wine Bottle' crag with Where's the Jug, 6b+, The Great Wall, 6c+, and Tension, 6c, gives a whole row of great routes. For those starting out, 'Swiss Cheese' crag is a great beginner's venue, with plenty in the 4+ to 6a range.
Despite the vast majority of routes being single pitch (or extension) sport routes, there are a few multipitch routes around. Grandfathered Inn, 6a+, a fully equipped 6 pitch route gives the rare opportunity to summit one of the towers. However, if a trad rack can be procured The Witch Woman of the Rock, E1 5b, at Brave New World is a great distraction from bolt clipping.
When do I go?
Prime season runs from September to December with November providing the best conditions. Earlier than September is too warm and beyond December, the weather becomes very wet. Avoid the national holidays – namely 'Golden Week' in the autumn where thousands of Chinese tourists descend on the town, bringing the town to standstill (alongside the ubiquitous price hikes).
How to get there?
The most convenient method involves flying to Guilin Airport, 65km from Yangshuo. There are no direct flights from the UK to Guilin, but there are many connecting flights from Hong Kong and Beijing. Once in Guilin, regular buses run the 90 minute journey to Yangshuo. For the real tourist experience, take a 6 hour ferry ride down the river Li from Guilin instead.
Alternatively, a flight to Hong Kong, followed by a bus or train can often be cheaper, and provide additional sightseeing opportunities taking advantage of Hong Kong's no-visa entry requirements. In Hong Kong cross the land border into Shenzhen, mainland China where many overnight sleeper bus services run direct to Yangshuo. Overnight sleeper trains also run from Shenzhen to Guilin, where a short bus ride completes the journey.
Plenty of information on the logistics of getting from Hong Kong to Yangshuo can be found on the internet.
Once in Yangshuo, getting to the crags involves either cycling or taking a taxi/charter bus, all of which are inexpensive. However, taking a bike is the best way to drink in the scenery.
Citizens of most western nations will require a visa to enter China (but not Hong Kong). 30 day tourist visas are simple and relatively cheap to obtain for UK citizens, from CVASC. If travelling over land from Hong Kong to Yangshuo, either a basic knowledge of Mandarin/Cantonese, or some flash cards with useful phrases and locations would be prudent as the standard of spoken English outside of Hong Kong and Yangshuo is very limited.
What's the scoff like?
There is a wide variety of restaurants offering authentic local dishes (thousand year old egg or dog hot pot anyone?) to full on western food as well the choice to suit all budgets. For those on the cheap, filling stir-fry and rice can be found around town for ¥ 10 (£1). Generally, ¥ 20-40 will cover dinner in most restaurants, including the western style establishments. Minority (Western/Chinese), Cloud 9 (Chinese), Pure Lotus (vegetarian only Chinese) and Rock 'n' Grill (Western) are safe bets for good food. Yangshuo also boasts a vibrant party scene with no shortage of climbers, travellers and locals keen for a good time. Try Demo, Rusty Bolt and the Bookshop bar, although Mojo does have a
Which guide do I buy?
A comprehensive English guidebook named 'Yangshuo Rock Climbs' by Tyson Wallace is available from cafes, bars, hostels and climbing shops all over Yangshuo for the reasonable price of 120 RMB (£12). The topo is updated every year owing to the ongoing development of the area and all of the profits go back into the bolting fund, so it's best to purchase the newest edition in town on arrival.
Where do I stay?
If staying for less than a month, there is only one hostel I can recommend: The Climbers' Inn in the centre of town run by Lilly. It's friendly, cheap, clean and safe – pretty decent for ¥35 a night. Those
What else is there apart from the climbing?
There is no shortage of distractions for days off climbing. During the autumn, the terraced rice paddy fields at Longsheng before harvest are a spectacular sight. Equally, an afternoon spent cruising the river Li on a bamboo raft to Fu Li is well worth doing. For an active rest day, try hiring a bicycle and riding around the rural areas around Yangshuo. Alternatively, jump on the tourist bandwagon and visit the local attractions such as 'pocket kingdom' (a village of small people), butterfly cave (exactly what it says on the tin) and the 'Impression Sanjie Liu' evening light show on the river. If for some reason there is a craving for plastic, a small bouldering wall can be found at Rock Abond's Bar with an interesting evening atmosphere of beer swilling and campus training!

ALBANY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York State Assembly voted Monday to authorize hundreds of new speed cameras for school zones in New York City and Long Island.
The Assembly voted 103-24 Monday in favor of the bill, which would allow local officials to operate the cameras during and immediately before and after school activities.
The legislation would authorize up to 69 cameras in Suffolk County and 56 in Nassau County.
The city has had a pilot program for speed cameras up and running since mid-January. Five of the 20 cameras in the program have issued 12,162 tickets – for over $600,000 in fines.
The city would get 120 more cameras if the bill passes.
Mayor Bill de Blasio praised the Assembly for voting in favor of the cameras.
"With the Assembly's vote today, we are one step closer to the expansion of school slow zones throughout our city where we can install speed cameras, allowing us to protect our children and make our streets safer. This bill will truly save lives," de Blasio said in a statement. "Speeding is one of the primary causes of pedestrian fatalities, and addressing this epidemic has been a priority for my administration from the beginning. We can no longer accept these fatalities as inevitable."\
Under the law, the cameras must be located within a quarter mile of the school, and they can only be turned on to catch speeders between 7 a.m. and 4:10 p.m.
The speed cameras give out tickets based on your license plate number. If you go 10 miles over the speed limit – currently 30 mph in most areas of the city – you will get a ticket for $50 in the mail.
Failure to pay the ticket tacks on an additional $25.
Speed cameras would raise millions of dollars in revenue for local governments, but supporters argue safety is the primary objective.
"It's an attempt to reduce injuries and accidents," said Assemblywoman Deborah Glick (D-Manhattan.) "I do believe people's behavior is modified when money is involved."
Opponents, however, questioned the value of cameras as an alternative to uniformed police officers and suggested revenue was the true motivation.
"It's government attempting to entrap its citizens," Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick (R-Smithtown.) "This is a ruse. It's all about raising money."
As part of his "Vision Zero" pedestrian safety package, the mayor also wants a permanent change in the speed limit in the city from 30 mph to 25 mph.

Confessions of a mad craft addict

Pendent packaging...
I recently gave in and bought some dies from Simon Says Stamp - they are the Tammy Tutterow line from Spellbinders, and are the little mini envelope dies. They are teeny and are great for little whimisical messages or mini bits of art to add to a card, or mixed media piece or what not.
I have enjoyed playing around with them and found them to be a great size to make for packaging scrabble tile pendents and that is what I used this particular set for. This is the window mini pocket - so it cuts an envelop with a window and a little card to fit inside.
I made the little envelope, and used the little card inside to hold the pendent so it would dangle through the window. The bamboo pendents are a bit too large and awkward for this, but the tile pendents are perfect. I added some stampings, to decorate.
There is a little hole cut into the flap, so I used that to make a little wrap around tie for some bakers twine.
I am happy how they turned out... and then turned around and bought some more from her line! Can't wait to get them here... and now tempted to get a Big Shot Plus so I can get some of the larger envelope dies!

Happy Father's Day...
These are the two Father's day cards I made this year. I find it so hard to make masculine cards that are still elegant, and not making me think of the popcorn card I made when I was 8, and hope this hit the mark.
I wanted something with lots of texture, and chose two patterned kraft papers - the stripe, and the graph paper. I inked up the edges in Pumice Stone to take away that cut raw edge look.
To add a bit of elegance I took a large Tim Holtz flourish stamp and stamped over the graph paper with Versamark ink and sprinkled a champagne gold powder over it and heat embossed. I quite like how the champagne gold looks on the kraft paper brown.
I thought about black, or copper, and it would have worked probably too - but I thought the gold would be softer and lighter.
I made an A2 sized base card from textured card stock in a muted olive green and a burgundy red, and layered the patterned paper over the face, leaving about an eighth of an inch all around. I made the stronger pattern a bit smaller, and layered some washi tape in between to break up the edges and add a bit of visual interest.
For the one, I used a couple of patterns of washi paper and set them on more of an angle. For a dimensional element, I wrapped some gray-brown striped bakers twine several times around and tied it over a vintage brass button, over the washi tape. Then I made some stamped banners and layered them over each other for the sentiment.
The dads appeared to like them - they are both the silent types - but I always hear from my niece how my mother and father talk about how handy I am and how they like that... that always gives my crafty little heart a glow and a smile :)
Anyways, the budget could always use a little boost to help it in the craft supply department, no matter what the hubs may say, so I am also entering this in this week's challenges at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blogs - the use patterned paper challenge at the Monday Challenge blog, and adding some shimmer, at the Wednesday Challenge Blog... wish me luck!

Soar creatively...
I have made several little chipboard notebooks for the Craftster Canada meet up that is happening this weekend in Southern Ontario. They fit the 3x5 note cards you can buy at any stationary/office store. They are just like the ones I made for myself in the past. Like the one I made here, and the first one I made, for the Creativ Festival in 2014.
This one is also made with reused cardboard from boxes - not the corrugated stuff, but the flat and dense stuff that is similar to chipboard. I
I collaged patterned papers on, and used some washi tape, and painted and inked die cut elements to decorate, and used matte gel medium to layer and glue everything.
I used a simple ring clamp to make the little book, and inside the cover, I added a die cut envelope for holding little bits of ephemera.
I made a number of these and will slowly go through them the next little while. Nothing fancy, in between the covers, but I am loving how the covers turned out. Lots of different layers and patterns, a bit of inking, and a bit of shimmer from metallic and iridescent paints.
I will be entering this little notebook as well in this week's challenges at the Simon Says Stamp blog, for the Monday Challenge, using patterned papers, and the Wednesday Challenge, adding shimmer.. wish me luck!

Falling leaves re-do....
I had to do a re-do of my Falling Leaves pendents... I am not sure if it was some kind of cross-reaction between the adhesive of the aluminum tape, or what, but the resin did not set properly and was still tacky, even after a month and even with more UV exposure on some of the pieces. Also, perhaps the resin did not set properly underneath and I did not think the alcohol inks needed sealing, the inks mottled and slid off the leaves and dispersed in the resin. They have to be considered a craft fail. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the end result - I removed the salvageable bits and did a total remake.
I made over a dozen of the bamboo tile versions and a half dozen of the smaller game tile ones. The process was the same, but the difference was that I used red, textured card stock as the base of the leaves, and daubed them with metallic paints in coppers, bronze, and metallic orange, and inked the punched edges of the leaves with brown inks.
I again painted the backgrounds of the tiles with various iridescent blues, and some pearl paint for clouds.
Then I die cut and inked the tree limbs. I glued all the paper elements on with layers of Mod Podge, using thin layers and painting in all directions and diagonally with my brush strokes, to try to seal the paper pieces as much as possible, and allowing good drying to occur before the resin layers.
Then I poured a small layer of resin, worked as many of the bubbles out as possible and let that cure. When using layers of Japanese book paper and textured paper, sometimes microscopic bubbles will show up and expand when cured - they can be bored out, cleaned up, and corrected to most degrees with a second pour of resin... or just sit back and enjoy the individualism little booboos like that give to a hand-made piece... I also still love how Asian printed papers can be used for interesting texture on die cuts. I just picked up some more used Asian tomes for more uses like this. Arabic script would probably be lovely like this too.
So I will still experiment with metallic tape and resin, but if that uncured resin issue occurs again, I may have to reconsider it's use with resin pieces. But I am still happy how the remake turned out.
Finally, I just did a simple, random wire wrap for the hangers, on the bamboo pieces. I used small garnet chips and a silver-tone maple leaf to make some danglers for the bigger pieces. For the smaller tiles, just a simple glue on bail.
BTW - I am back... anyone miss me :)
Things are a bit more stable, but we still have a loved one in the hospital and there will be a period of prolonged healing after he is discharged. But he does - knock wood - seem to out of a zone of immediate danger.
I've also been crafting lots of little items, which I will slowly reveal over the next while. Thankfully, crafting is therapeutic - especially as there has been a lot of stress these past few weeks. I have a potential bit of a battle to fight myself in the next short while, so will depend on crafting to help me keep my sanity and not go out and kill someone... paint and ink should always be a better way to go than violence and anger... must remember that....
I will be entering these as entries into this week's challenges at Simon Says Stamp, for the Monday, patterned paper challenge - for the texture on the leaves, but primarily using the Japanese printed paper for the texture on the tree die cuts. Also for the Wednesday Challenge, to add some shimmer, for the use of the metallic/iridescent paints, amplified under the resin...

Please Stand By...
Regular programming will resume shortly....
Things have been a bit hectic lately. A family member has been significantly ill, hospitalized, and with complications, this past week or so, so life has been a bit stressful...
Things are being made, as that is how I de-stress, but there has been large blanks where I can't get started and just stare into space for a bit, while the hamster in the rusty wheel that is my brain starts to run faster and faster, and I enter the worst case scenarios room of my head, because that is how I fret and worry. BAD HAMSTER!!!!! GET OUT OF THAT ROOM!
In the mean time, I am not in the mood to take pictures... but that will come soon. Just waiting for the hamster to stop freaking out, and when I am back swimming in mental calm blue oceans.
To add the cherry on top of the crap sundae, I picked up a wicked summer cold. Wheeeeeee - riding that mucous-y slip and slide, and losing my voice too - wheeeeeee! I am now going back to my coffee, kleenex, Halls vitamin C, and binge-watching of Chuck. There may be some paint or glue being added to something some point while I wait for phone updates.

If Obama is re elected, We'll be looking at 6-7 Dollars a gallon. He wants to bring it on par with what the Europeans are paying per gallon.
That probably wouldn't be as bad as it sounds *IF* and I can't emphasise this enough, *if* you guys where allowed access to more efficient engines.. my Ford gets 65 US MPG in the real world, I drive 90 miles to work.
I was comparing the small Ford Commercials vans (trucks) and the same vehicle (bodyshape wise) gets 22 US MPG in America compared to 37 US MPG here, quite a disparity, plus the same vehicle is $2000 cheaper here.
So I can not help but come to the conclusion that raising your fuel prices to the level of European ones without at least giving you access to more efficient engines has 2 purposes, screw you guys over at home, and screw you guys over at work.
And even *if* they do offer you access to more efficient engines it still screws over every existing vehicle owner in the country both at home and at work..
In the real world the only word I can attach to this madness of Obama does plan to go that route is it'll make America "Unworkable"

My ex-husband manages a fleet of work trucks. The 8 cylinder models get MUCH better gas mileage than the rest of the fleet.
When you make trucks smaller you have to have more of them to do the same work....which creates more money for government through licenses and insurance, etc. etc.
You cannot compare Britain to the US...one of our states is the size of your entire country.....we are 10,000 times bigger than you in land mass....little lorries don't cut it here.

A man who accidentally shot his friend while they were duck hunting has avoided prison and been placed on community detention.
Cameron Alexander Blyth King, 44, of Auckland, "broke all the rules" of firearm safety when he pulled the trigger of his loaded gun, hitting his friend Guy Meech in the elbow, the Manukau District Court heard.
The pair had been shooting ducks in Masterton on May 3 this year when King fired the gun, causing serious injuries to Meech, who can now only lift 1kg of weight with his injured arm.
King was tonight sentenced to 200 hours of community work and placed on six-months of community detention, including a curfew forcing him to stay home between 8pm and 6am. He was also ordered to pay $3000 in reparation.
The court was told Meech has suffered ongoing physical and emotional trauma, and was unable to work as a result.
Judge Charles Blackie said it was fortunate that the shooting didn't end in a fatality but said the injuries were still serious and were entirely avoidable.
"How this gun went off is inexplicable," he said.
"But it wouldn't have happened if the most basic cautionary steps were taken."
The court was told King had been standing behind Meech in a small "maimai" shooting platform and had been drinking beer before he moved forward with his finger inside the trigger guard of his shotgun.
King's finger then came down on the loaded weapon and the pellets hit Meech in the elbow.
Police prosecutor sergeant Michael Tuialii said King's carelessness had broken all the rules relating to the use of firearms. He said King failed to point the gun in a safe direction, did not have the safety catch on, was holding it at waist height, had the weapon loaded and had his hand on the trigger.
"Coupled with the fact he was consuming alcohol and was in an enclosed space, this is a high level of carelessness," he said.
The maximum penalty for careless use of a firearm causing injury is three years prison, and Tuialii argued that a one-year custodial sentence was warranted in this case, to deter others.
Defence lawyer Paul Borich said King - a father of three - was a low risk of re-offending and would be best suited to serving community work. He said King was an experienced shooter and he had only drunk one beer before the incident.
His client and Meech had been friends since they were at Primary School and had been shooting together many times, including over five years in that same location.
There was no element of "skylarking" and if King had shown a higher degree of care the incident would have been avoided altogether, Borich said.
He said King had already given Meech about $1500 worth of firewood, jackets and food, to aid with his recovery.
"Once this (sentencing) is completed he's going to try and make good with his friend."
King's firearm licence was suspended and Borich said it "will be a long time before he picks up a gun again".

Gerald Herbert, Associated Press
BELLE CHASE, La. — Floodwaters from Isaac receded, power came on and businesses opened Friday ahead of the holiday weekend, the beginning of what is certain to be a slow recovery for Louisiana.
Newly nominated Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited flood-ravaged communities, and President Barack Obama said he would arrive Monday, appearances this part of the country is all too familiar with after Katrina and the Gulf oil spill.
Meanwhile, the leftovers from the storm pushed into the drought-stricken Midwest, knocking out power to thousands of people in Arkansas. At least seven people were killed in the storm in Mississippi and Louisiana.
In Lafitte, a fishing village south of New Orleans, Romney saw soaked homes, roads covered with brown water and debris-littered neighborhoods. The GOP-friendly community is outside of the federal levee system that spared New Orleans and it lies on an exposed stretch of land near the Gulf.
Romney met along a highway with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, and they talked about challenges facing the stricken area, which relies on fishing for its livelihood. He also spoke to town officials and emergency workers.
"I'm here to learn and obviously to draw some attention to what's going on here," Romney told the governor. "So that people around the country know that people down here need help."
At one point, Romney and Jindal talked to a man in waders and a straw hat holding a handwritten, neon- yellow "Mitt Is Our Man" sign. The man complained about the area's lack of protection from flooding.
The town is located just outside a region that is protected by levees and other flood protection measures built after Hurricane Katrina battered New Orleans in 2005. The Army Corps of Engineers spent about $13 billion on the system.
Richard Riley rode out the storm in his home. Even though the water was receding Friday, he decided it was time to leave. He walked about a mile and found rescuers, who took him to family members.
Riley, a Republican, said he favored building new flood protection for the area, especially after Isaac brought in a surprising amount of water. He said he wanted Obama to help make that happen.
"He needs to see the devastation and allocate the money that's needed to build new levees or do whatever is needed to protect us," Riley said.
Crown Point, Lafitte and other nearby settlements that jut inland from the Gulf are accustomed to high water driven by hurricanes. But Isaac, a relatively weak storm by the standards of Betsy and Katrina, pushed in much more water than expected when it stalled after making landfall.
To the east, officials pumped and released water from a reservoir, easing the pressure behind an Isaac-stressed dam in Mississippi on the Louisiana border. The threat for the earthen dam on Lake Tangipahoa prompted evacuations in small towns and rural areas.
In New Orleans, at the Magnolia Discount Gas Station in the Carrollton neighborhood, employee Gadeaon Fentessa said up to 50 drivers an hour were pulling in, hopeful they could pump. He had the gas, but no power. Stations that did have power to pump had long lines.
There were other signs of life getting back to some sense of normalcy. The Mississippi River opened to limited traffic, the French Quarter rekindled its lively spirit and restaurants reopened.
Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches of rain in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles. More than 5,000 people were still staying in shelters.
The remainder of the storm was still a powerful system carrying rain and the threat of flash flooding as it headed across Arkansas into Missouri and then up the Ohio River valley over the weekend, the National Weather Service said.

New The Wonder Years Song
Digging: Eyedea and Abilities - By the Throat
Best pop-punk band imo. Song rules.
3 listens in a row. Huge chorus and great verses.
cool song.
Digging: Feed Me Jack - Ultra Ego
two underwhelming singles so far from this album.
Digging: Burning Airlines - Mission: Control!
I'm not as impressed with these singles as I expected...but I sort of suspect each song will be better in context.
It's good but I don't LOVE it as much as I did with the last one they released
not as good as the first song, but still great
The two songs released so far sound just like Suburbia. That's certainly not a bad thing, though.
Both songs rule.
Song is ridiculously good as expected. Not as good as Passing Through A Screen Door though.
That chorus hits like a truck. Another great track.
very similar to The Swellers songs yet better and with an amazing closing verse
same shit
this is going to be the greatest album ever
Wow. These guys have come a long ways since "The Upsides" by sounds of the new tracks.

sounds great i like how soupy is actually showing off his singing voice more

Crown's post-Rena consultation a wreck
Relevant offers
The Crown has been described as "incompetent" by Bay of Plenty Maori after the Waitangi Tribunal found it had breached principles of the Treaty by cutting a deal with the owners of MV Rena before consulting local iwi.
The MV Rena container ship ran aground on the Astrolabe Reef (Te Tau o Taiti) on October 5, 2011, spilling more than 350 tonnes of heavy fuel oil, plus containers, in New Zealand's worst maritime environmental disaster.
Motiti Island hapu spokesman Buddy Mikaere said the "scathing report" by the tribunal proved the Crown was "incompetent."
"It's sad, in a way, because 40 years we have had in dealing with the Treaty and Treaty issues seem to count for nothing. We've all gone back to square one again. We found their actions really disheartening."
In an interim report, the tribunal found the Crown's consultation process failed to fulfil its duty to actively protect Maori and their taonga.
The breach stemmed from a financial settlement between the Crown and owners of the Rena, Daina Shipping Company, worth $27.6 million for the Crown and other public bodies, including Maritime New Zealand and the Bay of Plenty District Health Board.
The Crown had rubber-stamped three deeds of settlement with the Rena owners in October 2012 before consulting Bay of Plenty Maori in November, 2013, despite the Resource Management Act requiring that public bodies take into account the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi when they make decisions.
The Crown agreed "in good faith" to consider making a submission in support of Daina's resource consent to leave the wreck on the reef.
Daina would pay another $10.4m for "public purposes" if the consent was approved, and the Crown had not opposed the application either directly or indirectly..
The total cleanup was estimated to cost about $47m, leaving a shortfall of around $20m based on the negotiated settlement.
Mikaere said the hapu felt misled by the Crown and out-gunned in terms of resources.
"We've been asked to deal with one of the most complex resource consent applications ever and we don't have the resourcing to get our own . . . expert witnesses."
Mikaere said since the Rena ran aground in 2011 there had been serious consequences for the hapu living on Motiti Island.
"It has meant we can't do the manaaki, the hosting on the marae, that we would normally do because we can't access the reef. There are still doubts about eating fish and seafood from the northern part of the island."
The chairman of Te Runanga o Ngaiterangi, Charlie Tawhiao, said the tribunal's finding was justice.
"I think it's something we all need to reflect on, because if there is any criticism of the Waitangi Tribunal process, it's generally aimed at Maori, when in fact we've been driven to taking action because of the continued and ongoing fumbling of the Crown."
Cabinet will meet on July 28 to decide the Government response to the resource consent application. Submissions close on August 8.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Studies done on some of the early Ebola cases in Sierra Leone reveal the frightening fact that the virus had over 300 genetic mutations as it went from person to person. Even more frighteningly, these changes may make diagnostic tests and experimental treatments now in development less effective.
The World Health Organization has claimed that the current Ebola outbreak could affect as many as 20,000 people if it is not stopped.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Africa
Keywords: Ebola, Health, Africa, International, Nigeria, Congo, World Health Organization
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - "We found the virus is doing what viruses do. It's mutating," said Pardis Sabeti of Harvard University and the Broad Institute, who led the study of samples from 78 people in Sierra Leone. Each case in the study is of those whose infections could be traced to a faith healer who had claimed a cure, which attracted Ebola patients from Guinea.
As Ebola sweeps through West Africa, every prayer is needed to help those affected.
This study was published in the journal Science, and suggests that the virus is mutating quickly and in ways that make current diagnostic and future vaccines and treatments less effective.
The study comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the epidemic could infect more than 20,000 people, and has the possibility to spread to more countries.
One of the study's authors, Robert Garry of Tulane University, said that the virus is mutating twice as fast as it was in animal hosts. The study shows changes in the glycoprotein, surface proteins that bind the virus to human cells, allowing it to start replicating within a human host. "It's also what your immune system will recognize," he said.
Erica Ollmann Saphire of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, has already checked the data to see if it impacts the three antibodies in ZMapp, am experimental drug which has been used to treat Ebola patients in the U.S. and Africa.
"It appears that they do not [affect ZMapp]," said Saphire, who directs a consortium to develop antibody treatments for Ebola and related viruses. But she said that this data "will be critical to seeing if any of the other antibodies in our pool could be affected."

EMC and its Greenplum unit claim they have tamed some of the bears in Hadoop, the popular but difficult-to-work-with open source Big Data platform.
They've created a new Apache Hadoop distribution called Pivotal HD that natively integrates Greenplum's massively parallel processing (MPP) database technology with the Apache Hadoop framework; fitted the beast out with spiffy SQL interfaces; and reportedly improved performance somewhere between 100x and 600x on a wide range of query types and workloads.
They say they've now got the "single most powerful Hadoop distribution in the industry" and the widgetry should be out by the end of March as a software-only or appliance-based solution.
EMC means to turn rival Cloudera into hamburger meat and then run it into the ground. It says the Hadoop pioneer can't stand up to Pivotal's beta; it wins every time.
The technology responsible for the performance leap is called HAWQ (say hawk), a distillation of Greenplum's 10 years of R&D on large-scale data management put at the service of Hadoop.
Pivotal is supposed to represent the world's first true SQL processing for Hadoop – compared, say, to existing SQL-like services on top of Hadoop – and expands the platform's reach to SQL programmers and developers, as well as enabling compatibility with traditional BI tools.
For all the success Hadoop has had it's been a bear to work with in part because it lacked useful interfaces and high-level tooling for business intelligence and data mining.
EMC says Pivotal HD fixes all that.

*As Tracy Morgan remains in the hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a car crash, the man responsible for the incident is speaking out against claims he was under the influence or lacking sleep at the time of the crash.
TMZ.com reports that a Twitter account that appears to belong to Walmart truck driver Kevin Roper was active early Tuesday morning. The site added that a remorseful Roper took to twitter to express his feelings on what happened with Morgan, saying, "I wish it was me and I can't express how horrible I feel."
As for reports he hadn't slept in 24 hours when he dozed off and crashed in to Morgan's vehicle around 1a.m. on Saturday, Roper denied the claims while accusing the media of making him a scapegoat "because a famous person was involved."
"I was never charged at the scene of the accident because once again i was not guilty of any crime. Not until all the TV cameras came," he tweeted.
From the tweets, Roper looks to take the stand that he wasn't negligent or responsible for the crash as he suggests he was not at fault. Nevertheless, Roper is well aware of how the situation looks.
"So yes i am now most likely f****d because i had an unfortunate ACCIDENT with the wrong car that night," he wrote

Daewoo Marine Shipbuilding and Engineering (DMSE) yard in South Korea continues to produce the new Triple-E ships for Maersk Line at a very high rate; the fifth ship of the series 'Maribo Mærsk', is to be officially named later.
Despite the ships' record dimensions, DMSE has been able to deliver a new ship just a month-and-a-half apart.
The interest in Maersk Line's new Triple-E container ships has been enormous, ever since the first image of the upcoming Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller, the first ship in the series, was published in the spring.
Maersk Line has ordered a total of 20 Triple-E ships from the South Korean shipyard.

Park District Brochure
Posted in the Joliet Forum
#1 Aug 1, 2012
We pay a LOT of money in taxes to the Park District. It didn't use to be that way (and they did a fine job with the money they had) but now it is. So why is it that they still can't put together a decent set of programs? Sure they have added a few things but others have gone by the wayside. Drop-in Gym and Drop-In Basketball and Volleyball don't really count as programs. How about putting in a little effort to organize a league? I mean that is why we pay for a staff isn't it? Also so many of the programs and trips are really just from the New Lenox Park District's brochure. I didn't really need a Manhattan Park District to register for a program in New Lenox. It doesn't take much effort to organize that other than a phone call to New Lenox.
#2 Aug 1, 2012
Park District Staff is not paid to be league organizers. The give you the tools so you do some organizing. I am really annoyed with people who talk about paying there taxes and thinking they are owed so much. You pay taxes to the government and where is your rant about schools and things the federal government does not do for you with your tax money.
United States
#3 Aug 1, 2012
hey jack they get enough of my money. At least the park dist could do is provide some activities for the kids so there not breaking into houses
#4 Aug 1, 2012
dissolve this taxing district if they are incapable of running it. wasn't biscan an origin of this taxing body? goes to show how inManhattan - POORLY.
#5 Aug 1, 2012
So you are paid for what? I can rant about the schools and other village services too but the schools village services such as police, water, fire, etc are much more of a necessity than the park district that I pay way too much for.
#6 Aug 1, 2012
kids breaking into houses is not the park district's it's the parent's fault for not knowing what there kids are doing. When I grew us kids did plenty in the some without doing bad things. Always had pick up baseball, basketball or football games. Never sat in a park and smoke cigarettes and trying to break our necks trying to do tricks on a skateboards. Teach your kids, discipline them once in a while instead of spoiling them into trouble with the law. Remember what happens to kids whose parents have no time for them or pawns them off to a taxing entity while you a off enjoying yourself. The end up shooting up schools and movie theater because parents can't be bothered
#7 Aug 1, 2012
You idiots have NO CLUE how good you have it! Most small towns like this don't have crap for the kids to do! I agree with RPG 100%!
#8 Aug 2, 2012
I never said anything about the park district having anything to do with how kids behave. I can agree with it being the parent's responsibility. That wasn't the purpose of this post. I just disagree with saying that the park district isn't paid to run leagues. The fact that they are paid and expect others to volunteer to run them is the issue. There are plenty of park districts that run leagues.
United States
#9 Aug 2, 2012
You are so damn right. Seems like there are two other boards around here where they expect others to "volunteer" while they, themselves - the board and board members collect paychecks. They want those paychecks so it will pay half of their yearly property taxes on their principal residences. Classic baloney and classic Manhattan self-dealing.
#10 Aug 2, 2012
Well the Park Board doesn't collect a paycheck but it has staff that does. So don't really have a problem with the 'Board'. They don't necessarily put the programs together and I understand that. However, the director collects a pretty decent wage thanks to her hubby that was able to make decisions about her raises while they were vehemently denying that they were having an affair (very ethically wrong). She also has a staff under her and they are who I was referring to. Leagues can actually be self-sustaining financially and if done right the money could actually fund other jobs to help run it and officiate it. Look at lots of other park districts and you will find this to be the case.

Great introspective Cool Beanz. I like it - alot. The brochure should be printed on newsprint to save cashola for programs to support the youngins.

It is on their website too. No need to mail one to every resident. Those that want a hard copy can pick one up.
#14 Aug 3, 2012
There is an open position on the park board if you want to make a difference.

United States

Talk about making a $100,000 between the Gainous couple, to do what shall I ask? Julie Popp $62k a year to call New Lenox and ask to share the activities they have for their community and put them in ours and pay Non resident prices! Nice, way to go Manhattan! maybe the park district should worry about cleaning up Central Park with tons of cigarette butts and beer cans all over the ground from the men's softball league that plays there and get these kids more to do here in here in town instead of families having to travel to New Lenox for everything!

Miesha Tate found out she could be coaching on "The Ultimate Fighter 18? an hour before UFC President Dana White announced it at UFC 158.
Like many who first heard about the show's concept, which puts both male and female MMA hopefuls in a Las Vegas mansion to compete for UFC contracts, her initial reaction was mostly shocked. She also expected carnal consequences.
"I was like, 'Are you crazy? Inside the house at the same time!' Tate told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "[Dana] started laughing. I said, 'You better make sure that all the guys have condoms and all the girls are on mandatory birth control, because I'm sure it's going to get nuts in there. Getting knocked up is not very good for your career as a female fighter.'
"He was like, 'I know. It's worse than getting knocked out. That's for sure.'"
Tate (13-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), of course, has yet to book the gig. To secure it, she needs to beat Cat Zingano (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale, which takes place Saturday at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The event's main-card, including Zingano vs. Tate, airs live on FX following prelims on FUEL TV and Facebook.
The undefeated Zingao will try to rob Tate of the coaching spot, which will set up a title fight against women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey at the season's conclusion. "TUF 18? begins filming this summer and debuts in September.
Tate has been inundated with questions about Rousey, who took her Strikeforce title more than a year ago.
"Everyone wants to ask me about Ronda and 'The Ultimate Fighter,' but to me, I don't care about any of that right now," she said. "It's just Cat. That's all that have on my plate, and all I'm concerned with. If I don't do what I need to do on April 13, none of that matters. So why even bother getting excited about it?"
Since her initial reaction to the show, Tate has changed her mind on the possibilities for drama.
"I had a good laugh about this the other day, because a lot of the girls in this industry are lesbians, which I have no problem with," she said. "They're cool-ass chicks. But I was making a joke that it's going to be so funny – all the girls on this show are going to be lesbians, and all the guys are going to be like, 'We're going to be hooking up with these hot fighter chicks.' And the girls are going to be hooking up with each other.
"The boys are going to be like, 'I thought this was going to be way cooler than it is.'"
