Al Sharpton's Daughter Dominique Has Even More Pics on Instagram Hiking on a Permanently Injured Ankle
In the end, 28 year old Dominique Sharpton should only get $5 for her lawsuit against New York City claiming injury due to falling on uneven pavement. It would appear that Al Sharpton's daughter has much to learn from the master in the art of the shake down. Even more pics have surfaces on Dominique's Instagram account of her hiking. But, according to her lawsuit, she "still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries." Those injuries do not seem to stop her from hiking in Bali either.
Personally there should be no nuisance settlement in this case. If NYC wanted to make a point and put an end to this, the City should counter sue for fraud.
The Rev. Al Sharpton's island-hopping, mountain-hiking daughter — who is suing the city for $5?million after purportedly injuring her ankle on a Soho sidewalk — posted more damning Instagram pics Monday of her frolicking in Indonesia as legal experts said her social-media activity could cost her big bucks.
"#Balidays on the Gilis!!!'' Dominique Sharpton, 28, wrote with two snapshots of herself at what looked like a posh Gili Island retreat.
The new entries came the same day The Post revealed others in which the supposedly hobbled Dominique boasted of climbing a mountain there.
Since allegedly spraining her ankle in October, she has also been pictured in high heels at a hippie party and climbing the dicey terrain of Red Rock Canyon in Nevada.
The photos kill even the slightest chance Dominique had of collecting big bucks from the city, legal experts said, even as the de?Blasio administration has been shelling out more money than ever to settle lawsuits.

Dominique Sharpton, Al Sharpton's Daughter Sues New York City for $5M after Spraining Ankle (Update: Pics of Dominique Sharpton Hiking Mountains)
The apple does not fall far from the shake down tree in the Sharpton family … or is it by Shaking the Apple tree, trying to take a bite out of the Big Apple?
28 year old Dominique Sharpton, the daughter of Rev. Al Sharpton is suing the city of New York for $5 million. Dominique Sharpton is claiming she fell in the street, sprained her ankle and severely injured and bruised her ankle because of uneven pavement at the corner of Broome Street and Broadway downtown. Good grief. It would appear that Dominique has learned from the master of shakedown. According to her lawsuit, she "still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries." Dominique Sharpton claims she fell in a crosswalk, which would make hers a "defective roadway" claim. However, in December Dominique was good to go for NAN's Justice for All march in Washington, DC and for a New Year's Eve jaunt to Miami Beach. And even with the claims of "permanent physical pain, there are pics on social-media of her in high heels, and another of her climbing a ladder to decorate a Christmas tree. Yup, she has learned well from the Shakedown master.
My Monkey senses make me say the following …
Shakedown artist Al Sharpton's eldest child wants $5 million from city taxpayers after she fell in the street and sprained her ankle, court records show.
Dominique Sharpton, 28, says she was "severely injured, bruised and wounded" when she stumbled over uneven pavement at the corner of Broome Street and Broadway downtown last year, according to a lawsuit.
Currently on vacation in Bali, the membership director for her gadfly dad's National Action Network claims she "still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries," according to the suit filed against the city departments of Transportation and Environmental Protection.
"I sprained my ankle real bad lol," she wrote in a post to Instagram after the Oct. 2 fall.
She was pictured in a walking boot in the weeks following the tumble, but by December, Dominique was good to go for NAN's Justice for All march in Washington, DC, and for a New Year's Eve jaunt to Miami Beach.
And despite claiming "permanent physical pain" in a breathless notice of claim, there are social-media shots of her in high heels, and another of her climbing a ladder to decorate a Christmas tree.
Hmm, isn't that called fraud if you claim one thing and it is a knowing false claim?
From Weasel Zippers comes the screen shot of Sharpton's daughter, who is currently of vacation in Bali hiking up mountains. How many Americans in this terrible economy can afford to take a vacation to Bali? Oh but wait, I thought she claimed permanent physical pain? So sharpton's daughter is looking to ceat the NYC tax payers out of money with a trunped up claim that she injured herself as she
Dominique Sharpton (@MSSharpton2u) | Twitter
Oh wait, here is another picture from Dominique Sharpton's Instagram site showing her hiking in Red Rock canyon about a month ago. Because everyone knows that some one with a severe and permanent damage to their ankle can hike there. Of course I guess it is just a coincidence that her daddy Sharpton owes $4.5 million in back taxes.
NYC should sue her for fraud.
UPDATE I: The Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter unwittingly proved that her $5 million sprained-ankle suit against the city is a mountain of BS.
It not only adds up to no case, it amounts to fraud.
Dominique Sharpton posted pictures to Instagram showing she completed a difficult mountain climb in Bali, Indonesia — even though her suit says that "she still suffers" debilitating pain after twisting her ankle in a street crack in Soho last year.
She didn't seem to realize that her mountaineering exploits might undermine her legal claims as she bragged online about the difficulty of her ascent.
What legal experts saw as truly unreal, however, is the younger Sharpton's brazen boasting after she claimed in court papers that she was in "permanent physical pain."
"It is starting to look like Tawana Brawley is orchestrating the Sharpton trial strategy," quipped CNN legal analyst Paul Callan. "It graphically demonstrates bad judgment and good feet. It all adds up to no case."

Fox News Reporter Leland Vittert Confronts Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake as Al Sharpton Prevents Freedom of Speech
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake owes everyone an explanation as to her disastrous handling of the Baltimore riots. However, AL Sharpton does not seem to think so. Instead, he is protecting her backside. Talk about hypocrisy and double standard. Watch the video below and see Al Sharpton, a member of the MSM who receives a paycheck from MSNBC, actually prevents a member of the media from asking questions of Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. the so-called Reverand Al Sharpton is running cover and playing body guard to embattled Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. HUH? Fox News reporter Leland Vittert is shoved out of the way as he tried to do what the media's job is to do and that bis ask public officials questions and hold them accountable to the people. The Fox News reporter tried to get clarification from the Baltimore Mayor as to whether she gave the police the order to stand down and "Let Them Loot, It's Only Property".
Make up your mind Al, either you are a civil rights activist or a member of the media, you can't be both. As for MSNBC, there should be no question, he should be let go immediately as t is obvious that Sharpton has no objectivity and does not even pretend to.
Who thinks Al Sharpton would be treating a white Mayor this way of a city where a black man was killed in police custody?
Fox News reporter Leland Vittert was shoved out of the way when he confronted Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake as she was walking with Al Sharpton on Thursday.
The reporter received no answers to his questions about the report or riots.
"We can't we ask questions?" Vittert asked. "We can't ask questions of a public official?"
As Rawlings-Blake walked silently, Sharpton is seen on video telling Vittert that he will "have the opportunity" to ask questions at an upcoming press conference.
Vittert is later literally shoved out of the way and the tense confrontation ended shortly after.

According to the Daily News, Charlatan Al Sharpton 'Circus' Not Welcome by Family of Murdered Walter Scott Family
The Daily News is reporting that the family of slain Walter Scott does not want any part of the Al Sharpton 3-ring circus and he is not welcome. Imagine that, the family of 50 year old Walter Scott, a black man who was shot in the back by a white police officer after a traffic stop does not want any part of Al Sharpton and his traveling race-baiting show to exploit his death. That was the message from the family of South Carolina police shooting victim Walter Scott to the civil rights
activist charlatan Thursday, two days before the funeral for the slain father of four. The family did not want Walter Scott's death turn into the circus that followed the death of Michael Brown in Missouri. Hopefully, they will not fall to pressure and keep that same request. 33 year old police officer, now former officer as he has been fired, Michael T. Slager, has been charged with murder.
Who, me use tragedy for my own gain?
Hoping to avoid a Ferguson, Mo.-style "circus," the family of alleged police shooting victim Walter Scott doesn't want the Rev. Al Sharpton to attend the funeral, according to the Daily News.
"We don't want another Ferguson type of circus here," a source close to the Scott family in South Carolina was quoted as saying in the Daily News.
The family reportedly was referring to Rev. Sharpton's speech at the funeral for Michael Brown, who was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson. That officer wasn't charged in the incident, sparking numerous protests.
UPDATE I: Rev. Al Sharpton: Yes, I am welcome at funeral for Walter Scott.
Of course, Al Sharpton has to make the death of Walter Scott about him and has refuted the claim that he was not welcome.
The Rev. Al Sharpton has refuted a Daily News report that says the family of shooting victim Walter Scott does not want him to attend his funeral in South Carolina.
The family reportedly was referring to Rev. Sharpton's speech at the funeral for Michael Brown, who was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo. The officer wasn't charged in the incident, sparking numerous protests.
Patrolman Michael Thomas Slager has been charged in connection with the death of Scott, who was shot while allegedly fleeing from a traffic stop in North Charleston, S.C., on Saturday.
"Today's Daily News story is bogus and has no merit," Rev. Sharpton said in release Friday, adding that he has been invited to preach and help local clergy lead a healing prayer vigil on Sunday in North Charleston.
"There has never been a discussion about me attending or participating in the funeral on Saturday, since everyone knows that NAN's convention with thousands of delegates is happening in New York and doesn't end until Saturday night," Rev. Sharpton said of the conference at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in Manhattan.
"I have not decided whether or not I will accept the invitation to preach in North Charleston and participate in the prayer vigil on Sunday," Rev. Sharpton said. "However, I am told the mayor and police chief have said that if I do choose to come they will attend the service as we seek healing and justice in these matters."

HATE CRIME: 43 Year Old White Man Assaulted on MetroLink Train in ST. Louis, MO by Black Man Over Michael Brown Question … No It was Over Black Hate
A 43 year old white man, minding his own business on his commute home on a MetroLink train in ST. Louis, MO was attacked by a black man who the media would like you to believe was started because of the black man asking a Micahel Browm question. Sorry, that is the excuse. What caused this unprovoked assault of a white passenger was because of black hate. The death of Michael Brown and the made up and bogus "Hands up, don't shoot" is just an excuse to attack and assault white people. At this point we know that Hands up, don't shoot is a lie and never happened. But what did happen on a MetroLink train was the as assault of a white man. Where is Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder and Barack Obama running to his aid? Will Eric Holder press hate crime charges against these punks, I didn't think so.
If it were three white kids beating up on a black guy the MSM would have made it a front page story and a national event. But its just a white guy minding his business, trying to get home from work. That that gets no play as a bunch of thugs hassle the guy, because they can.
The victim, 43, was commuting home when a young man in a red T-shirt and cap walked up to him. The victim asked not to be named in media reports.
The man asked to use the victim's cell phone. He declined, and the young man sat down beside him.
"Then he asked me my opinion on the Michael Brown thing," the victim told KMOV, "and I responded I was too tired to think about it right now."
The suspect, in his 20s, stood up.
"The next thing I know, he sucker punches me right in the middle of my face," the victim said. The video showed the suspect unleashing a barrage of punches at the head of the victim, who covered himself with his hand and forearms.
The two other men, also in their 20s, joined in, police said. As the train pulled into a station, a security guard saw part of the beating and alerted police.
The man in the red T-shirt could be seen on video kicking at the victim's face before the train's doors opened and the assailants ran out.
EXIT QUESTION: Hey Eric Holder, is the police department responsible for this as well? Is it those racist police that are to blame, or the racist blacks?

How to Get a Discount From Comcast: Ask for It
December 28th, 2008
At least one good thing happened during snowmageddon. I got a $60 discount from Comcast.
About a week ago, I received an email from Qwest, offering a low introductory rate on Internet service. I called my Internet provider, Comcast, to see if they would match it.
The call went something like this:
Me: Hi, I got an email from Qwest offering Internet service for $24.99 for 12 months. Can you match that?
Comcast rep: No.
Me: Okay. Do you have any promotions going on?
Comcast rep: Let me check your account … I can give you $10 off for six months.
Me: Okay. Thanks.
That was it. Five minutes, $60 in my pocket.
I also asked whether I could get a discount on my cable TV bill, but the rep said no. I have analog cable, and there are no discounts right now for that type of service.
If you're a long-time reader of this blog, you know I've gotten discounts twice before. The first time, I saved $108. The second time, $113. My savings were not as good this time, but for my effort, $60 is just fine.
Have you ever asked your cable TV or Internet provider to lower your rates? What was your experience?

I called them to ask for the same offer, they told me i have the best promotion, combo internet and cable for $61/mth. How much are you paying before the promo?
2. Amy | December 29th, 2008 at 8:15 am
$61 is awesome. I was paying $103 for Internet/cable combo before the $10 discount/month. I wonder if there'll be opportunities to save when we need to convert from analog to digital cable.
3. Nat West | December 29th, 2008 at 11:01 am
I have business-class cable service, which has some more features and a REAL 503 number to call for tech support with a REAL person on the other end, named Mike, if I have problems. So not quite the same as yours, but…
I wanted to downgrade from business-class to residential since I'm no longer running my internet-heavy business from home, and instead of doing that, they sold me on keeping the business services, but paying the "full" residential price, which is like $59/month, down from $109/month. So I'm happy. Definitely call them to ask for discounts no matter your situation.
4. Bobby Romanski | December 29th, 2008 at 11:05 am
It worked for me! It reduced the bill from $45 to $29.99/month
She said that comcast doesn't compare rates with Qwest because Qwest is slower, but she did apply a "$29.99 for 12 months" promotion code
5. Maricar | December 29th, 2008 at 11:43 am
I think Comcast is pretty good in giving discounts to their long time customers..
They have given me discounts on several occasions, most recently:
1) I called them up to cancel my cable TV because my TV is dead and buying a new one anytime soon was not in my budget. But if I cancel the cable, I'll end paying more for my wireless network service. And, if I decide to have cable service again later, I'd have to pay the service fee again (of $50 I think). So the CS said: "how about for the next 6 months, we'll give you15% discount on your service. At the end of 6 months, if you still don't have a new TV, call us back." Yes, it theory I was paying for the cable service I was not using, but I'm saving almost $20/month.
2) I called them up again this past summer to find out if they have any current promo or how they can help save some $$ because I just got laid off, and I'm looking into cutting cost on any "unnecessary expenses" (i.e. cable TV; BTW, I only have the basic cable service). Automatically, they said: "how about we give you 20% discount on your current bundled service for the next 6 months and after that, we can look at your situation again and see if we can be of assistance still." Just like that.
6. Amy | December 29th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Great stories. Sounds like I should be paying even less than I am!
7. nessy | December 30th, 2008 at 12:15 am
I've called comcast and threatened to switch my services due to high rates, and they lowered my monthly rate by $20/month over a 6 month period.
8. laura Barton | December 30th, 2008 at 9:31 am
after reading your post (and I LOVE your blog by the way!) I called Comcast too. Maybe I didn't charm the rep enough or he had already gotten too many calls, but all I got was FIVE dollars off a month for 6 months! But $30 is better than nothing, so thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work.
I know that $30 will come in handy when my next electricity bill arrives, which I'm dreading, after the Arctic Blast these past couple of weeks..
9. Steph | December 30th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Great idea! I called Comcast and they took $12 off per month for cable and gave me internet $33 per month for 6 months which is $13 off. So I am saving $25 per month! Thanks
10. Everyday Finance | January 2nd, 2009 at 7:49 am
Great to spread the word; I just saved $250/yr for life with them by pitting an opposing service against them. Here's a step by step with each counter statement they'll give you and how to force them into agreeing to at least a $20/month reduction. Good luck!
11. Alfonso | January 2nd, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Thank you for the reminder! I have basic cable and internet with Comcast. I told them I am looking to reduce my bills and I mentioned the Qwest deal. Could they help me? Did they have any customer retention promotion offers they could apply to my account? The rep looked up my account and then gave me two options on the internet only:
1) $19.99 for six months or
2) $29.99 for a year.
Since I am happy with their service, I opted for the year and the (future) savings of $155.52 for 2009. The six months savings amounted to $137.76.
12. Greg | February 24th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I currently pay 65.00 per month for Comcast internet and cable. I called and on the second try got 10.00 off my bill for 6 months.
13. Natalie | February 25th, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Hey, thanks for the motivation. I read your blog post yesterday and called them today, http://onefrugalwife.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/calling-comcast-pays-off/
It seems like some people are still getting a better deal, but I'm happy to save some bucks!
14. Amber | April 26th, 2009 at 10:28 am
I just saved $24.00 for three months on my internet bill, so I'm paying $19.95. I had thought I was signing up for a double play, but was put on a different introductory special for internet that only lasted for 3 months. They were unwilling to put me on the double play for a full 12 months, but extended the $19.95 special for three more months. (Lesson learned: be careful when you sign up online for comcast – they like to do a bait and switch when the service is actually installed).
15. Angel | June 3rd, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Good stuff…I'm doing this right now as I write this!!! Hopefully it works!
16. Chelsie | August 20th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Apparently they have a monopoly on our apartment building and know it…. We can't do anything but pay $100/month for digital starter cable (the lowest thing above 'limited') and internet. We figure that we have netflix and enjoy that so we we can save $40/month by having limited cable and get up to 5 discs at a time and pay about the same amount as we did before our promo offer expired. They have a watch instantly online feature and have tons of movies and tv series to keep us busy, and we don't have to bother with ending promos and raising costs.
17. Mark | February 24th, 2010 at 7:13 am
Thanks to this post, I called and got my bill from $203/month down to $113/month while keeping the same service.
18. Rachel | April 1st, 2010 at 10:38 am
I call and ask them for discounts whenever the last round is over and my bill goes back up. I pay about $39 for high speed internet, which is $15 less than the regular price.
19. Jay | August 24th, 2010 at 6:45 am
Just got a $15 off for 6 months renewed. I am a happy customer.
20. HENRY PELC | October 23rd, 2010 at 11:20 pm
i have comcast phone internet and hgiest grade cable well with-out hbo etc. my bill went from atotal of 119 a month now to 200 a month, i called and they said it would be lowered back to 119 plus tax. when i recieved my bill with taxes it came to158 dollars, im thinking of down grading or taking off the phone and go with vontage for 25 dollars a month..i have a hard time understanding their bill, there are always unexplainable charges. i have 2 high- def tvs 2 dvr which i never use , internet high speed and phone..any suggestions out there for me. i am on disability due to a rare syndrome, so all i can enjoy anymore is tv, computer. i really need my bill dropped to no higher than 120 a month.is it best to spilt up my services and change to vontage for phone , or down grading also and going with vontage phone 25 dollars a month. can someone please help me . i have haggled with them in the past and things never change…henry pelc
21. ann | November 12th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Currently pay around $50 for a land line through the cable company and wonder if I should look at other options for a phone line. Would want to keep the same phone number. Any suggestions?
22. kim | January 11th, 2011 at 6:28 am
i do the bundle to the tune of 130/month or so. I do this only for the ease of one bill, rather than 3. It was about the same to have the land line phone vs. without and it's still nice to have a phone number to give retailers so i never have to get ads/business calls on my cell phone. But I agree, hidden, unexplained charges seem to be the way of it. Next time I'm free of package deal commitments, I'm gonna drop cable all together and take advantage of my xbox/internet options. DVRs are a waste of time and i am paying for 180 t.v. stations that I never, ever use.
23. CUBConnects | February 2nd, 2011 at 11:36 am
There is a new website called CUBConnects.org, designed for the people of Oregon to help make comparisons between internet, home phone, and cell phone service providers. Simply enter in your zip code and the type of service you're looking for, and you'll be able to make price and feature comparisons.
The prices shown are the true, after-promotion-expires prices. We're also currently working on getting bundles into the database.
This not-for-profit website is a project of the Citizens' Utility Board (CUB) Policy Center, and not affiliated with any advertisers or service providers.

I used to pay around $45 a month for internet with Comcast but I called them today to complain about my rate. I demanded a lower rate and wanted to speak to a supervisor. The rep then told me I dont have to pay anything for a year. She said $0 for 12 months and she'll even give me free cable. She asked me if I also want her job because she's quitting. I told her I have to pass on that offer. I dont really want to deal with people constantly calling in and asking for discounts. Sweet, one phone call and free internet and cable for a year. Thanks!
25. Markus | April 12th, 2012 at 4:24 am
Well thanks i didn't know that to receive a discount !
26. Cara | January 30th, 2013 at 7:08 am
Thanks for the tip! I just called and got $20 off my internet service for 12 months!

Of an excitable nature, she burst into tears, and the barmaid ran in.
"There'll be dancing here this evening," the barmaid informed him.
The barmaid told her he had gone into the town to post a letter, and asked Dolly to step into the bar-parlour to wait.
All have a word or a good-morning or a joke with the barmaid.
"Show him up," said the barmaid to a waiter, without deigning another look at the exquisite, in reply to his inquiry.
The stockbroker flirts with the barmaid—cases have been known; often he marries her.
And what d'you think your friends will say to your marrying—a barmaid?
The "barmaid" collar is the double collar, at that time just coming into fashion.
My father had helped him again and again, until his marriage with a barmaid.
The barmaid, who was polishing her spirit measures, looked at him curiously.

Chch School Changes Need To Account For Disabled Students
Christchurch School Changes Need To Take Into Account Disabled Students
One of New Zealand's leading disability service providers, CCS Disability Action, today called on any changes to Christchurch schools to take into account the needs of disabled students.
CCS Disability Action Chief Executive, David Matthews, said that disabled students were more vulnerable to education changes than other students.
"We know from our Families Choices research that not all schools are welcoming to disabled students. The research showed that for the majority of families with disabled students choosing a school was a stressful draining experience."
The decisions announced to date mean that 7 schools will close and 12 will merge. Mr Matthews said that some parents must now go through the process of choosing a school again. There will also be less choice of school in Christchurch, as a result of the changes. He hoped that this would encourage the remaining schools to be more inclusive of disabled students.
"With less choice than before, it is essential that the remaining schools are inclusive to all students. The Ministry should be supporting them to do this."
The Government is also building or rebuilding 15 schools over the next 10 years. Mr Matthews said the Ministry of Education needed to ensure that these schools were built or rebuilt to the highest standards of accessibility.
"Public schools are there to serve the whole community. This includes all students with access needs."
Mr Matthews said that there were a whole variety of possible issues with the changes for disabled students.
"The changes will see disabled students going to new schools. Is the infrastructure and transport at these schools going to be accessible to these new students? Will their current support programs and resources transfer smoothly and seamlessly to their new education setting? If there are difficulties, we expect the schools and the Ministry to rapidly resolve them."
Mr Matthews was adamant that the focus throughout the changes must primarily be on students.
"The Minister of Education talks about modern schools. Modern schools are schools that include all students. Everyone has the right to a welcoming safe school in their community."

Families pay tribute to murdered pensioners
PUBLISHED: 07:00 17 May 2012
The families of the two pensioners murdered by a Hornsey man as they walked in Haringey's woods and parks have paid tribute to their loved ones.
Victor Parsons and Keith Needell both died after being attacked by Ali Koc - who has been found guilty of their murders, as well as attacks on five other men in Haringey during January last year.
Mr Parsons, 67, was found unconscious at 10am on January 5 near the gates of Alexandra Park, Alexandra Palace Way, with multiple and serious head injuries.
He died in hospital seven weeks later.
Mr Needell, 84, was found with serious head injuries in Queen's Wood at about 2.10pm on January 31. He died in hospital on July 16.
Yesterday, both the men's family spoke about how much they were missed.
Mr Parsons's sister Rosemary said: "He was a good brother who stood by me when I needed him. He will be sadly missed."
Her thoughts were echoed by Mr Needell's family, whose wife Mary said: "Keith is greatly missed by all his family, friends and those whose lives he touched and enriched. Such a kind and gentle man should never have suffered in such a brutal and senseless manner.
"In 57 years of marriage he never once uttered a cross word. His aim in life was to help others and contribute towards a better life for all. His interests in the wider world were many and varied and if he could see a way of helping others it would give him pleasure to do so in as unobtrusive a way as possible."
His son John, speaking on behalf of himself and other family members, added: "We are very sad that there are individuals who would rather inflict hurt than provide a positive contribution to the society they live in. We are, however, very glad that through the thorough efforts of the police and all others involved in the prosecution, this murderer is now unable to inflict pain and suffering on anyone else.
"We would also like to thank everyone who has supported Keith and the family since the attack, from the medical teams, the police and criminal justice system, to individuals who gave their time, love and support to the family. It was wonderful to see how good people will go out of their way to help. We now have to make the best of the situation we find ourselves in, and we will certainly miss Keith acutely as we go about our lives."

« Acts 1:12-26: After the Ascension | Main | Why Does It Take the non-mainstream Media? »
Those who are obsessive about checking my blog will recognize that I had a post on a petition to the General Superintendents of the Church of the Nazarene to not invite the President of the United States to address the General Assembly, especially during its communion service. I deleted this post earlier today.
I can now report that last evening, before the petition was circulated, the Board of General Superintendents declined to offer an invitation to the President of the United States to address the General Assembly. For this I give thanks to God for the faithfulness of the Board of General Superintendents, and especially, the catholic/international witness of the Church of the Nazarene.
I do not know all the process, but I do know that the Bush administration initiated the attempt to address the assembly. It is my understanding that the President's political adviser wanted to coat tail of the Church of the Nazarene's compassionate ministries, and approached the General Superintendents two weeks ago. Approval was given to allow the President to "greet" the Assembly.
I spoke with Dr. Paul Cunningham after the District Assembly on Friday. He was extremely gracious, warm, and listened well. I was the first one to speak to him of the rumor, which he confirmed in broad details. He made clear, however, that nothing was finalized at the time, but that he thought that a Presidential visit might give needed publicity to the Church of the Nazarene. Again, he graciously listened to my concerns about being drawn into partisan politics, the controversial nature of the publicity received, Bush's role in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the implications for the international Church of the Nazarene.
Dr. Cunningham did convince me that it was legitimate for the President to offer "greetings" as the head of state of the country in which the Assembly was to be held. Yet as things unfolded yesterday, it seemed to me (on unconfirmed sources) that the Bush administration wanted much more than to give greetings -- they wanted a significant time slot during the morning Eucharistic service, the main gathering of the Church. Dr. Cunningham was unaware of the nature of the request when he spoke to me, as he had been out of Kansas City for ten days.
If I may interpret on what little I know, it seems that the Communion service on that Sunday morning, required by the Manual to take place before the business sessions of the Assembly meets, was recognized by the General Superintendents as too significant to risk cooptation. The Body and Blood of Christ, forming the Body of Christ, prevented other bodies, even the body of the most powerful nation-state of the world, from taking over the agenda of God's people. This is a marveleous and wonderful witness to the love of God in the provision of God's people in the Eucharistic Feast.
William Cavanaugh in Torture and Eucharist talks about the Eucharist as politics. It is tremendously ironic -- but insightful -- that what the Eucharistic practice of the Roman Catholic Church in Chile, esconced in a Constantinian relationship, a "new Christendom" with the Pinochet Regime, could not immediately achieve, the Eucharistic practice of the Church of the Nazarene, locally often so woefully problematic, was able to sustain. Of course, this might be credited as well to the analysis and writings of Cavanaugh.
Yet this night, I am amazed, astounded, thankful for the leadership of the Church of the Nazarene, the wisdom embedded in its Manual, the faithful witness of friends and brothers and sisters that I don't even know, that the Spirit of God that still can perform the most marvelous surprises! Wow . . . who would have thunk that the little ol' Church of the Nazarene would have the spiritual vitality to recognize the world as the world!

Thanks be to God! John, I want to thank you for your witness and leadership in your daily speaking of truth to power. Your insightful words about these events are much appreciated. I first learned of these rumors Saturday at a wedding celebration. Ironically it was conveyed to me by students from SNU, a sister school in the "reddest", most pro-Bush of states. I am touched by the witness of the Church above the feeble nation-states. I am reminded Jesus' first miracle occurred at a wedding, and the Holy Spirit continues to perform the miracle of sustaining the life of the Church in Christ. Thanks be to God ineed!

This is amazing news. I would not have thought it possible. I appreciate your hard work and devotion. I am encouraged more and more by the rising numbers of Nazarenes who are willing to embrace liturgy, Trinitarian theology, and Christian pacifism. Thanks, John for all of your hard work and willingness to stick your neck out.
Grace and Peace,

Respectfully Sir,
I truly and friendly say you that my joy new no bounds when I open your website. I made many dreams and hopes to watch and explore your website. I hope you already know the circumstances of Pakistan. You will see in newspaper, T.V, on websites etc that Pakistan is unsecure and expensive countries while other countries. In Pakistan mostly Christians are unsecure. Muslims are killing, attacking on Christians. I want to say that if other countries are not in world than there will no Christian in Pakistan. Christian are living easily because of president Bush always ask Pakistan president General Pervaiz Mushraf to give freedom to Christians and mostly Pakistan is still as a country because of America. Pakistan gets always money and Pakistan is still in debt of America.
I sadly say that Pakistan is unsecure and expensive country. About unsecureness mostly Pastors and churches are unsecure. Muslims are attacking on churches. Everyday or about after 3 or 4 days. There is bomb blast at church. I am very sad to say that my cousin is attack by these Muslims.
I really and truly say and ask you that my joy new no bounds when I open your website. I hope that may be there will be pastor job or pastor conference or a event. I introduce you my self , My name is Rev. Saleem Sultan. I am a good Pastor in Pakistan at city Sahiwal. I am a church pastor and I can preach in church , conferences and in events. I can handle the church activities for example.
In the month of December, firstly I make the schedule of programs which can held in church. I don't write the all programs but I explain some items, for big people there is a family carol in church and there is a gift exchange program. People enjoy it very. For childrens there is a Christmas drama , in which children perform the role of different characters which is describe in BIBLE. I make people friendly , so they can enjoy and show intrest in the church activities. I am married man and I have 3 childrens and I am a good pastor as well as good care taker of house and of church. I listen about your website and I hope that there will be a conference or an event or a pastor job. Because I don't want to live in Pakistan. You already know the circumstances of Pakstan. Pakistan is unsecure as well as Pakistan is many expensive. Today you will see Pakistan is making higher rates and prices of things. Today rich man is saying : Everything is expensive so imagine what is saying of middle or poor person. He cannot eat one time lunch. Why? Today rice or wheat is 100 rupees kilo but on next day it will be 130 rupees kilo. So person make people for lunch or for children education or for electricity bill or for telephone ,gas,house, rent . To much expensive . You will see the newspaper there is a headlines that Pakistan is becoming expensive day by day.
So, I really and truly say that I hope from you that please invite for conference or for event or for pastor job. There is no secure place in Pakistan for me and for my family. I made many hopes from you and your team. I am not a bad preacher. I am good and good handler of church activities. So please do something for me. There no secure place for Christian. To contact me.

I am Mrs Jaen Tanko From Cairo Capital City in Egypt I am married to Mr Peter Tanko .He worked with Egypt embassy here in Cote d' ivory for ten years before he died in the year 2002. We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only six days. Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against it

I want you to use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that the house of God is maintained.

want our efforts to be used by unbelievers.don't I want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.
This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace I Donny need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband relatives around me always.

Matt Friedman fights sex-trafficking in Asia. He calls it "slavery."
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Friedman worked with various UN agencies tackling the issue, and is now with the counter-trafficking organization Liberty Asia.
After encountering first-hand trafficked victims on the streets of Nepal as a public health officer, Matt Friedman dedicated the next 20 years to anti-trafficking activism and fundraising.
He's based in Bangkok.
He delivered a Ted Talk in 2012 on the issue of sex trafficking, and told the audience how he decided to become an activist.
He says many girls kidnapped for sex-trafficking come from impoverished areas, and are taken to neighboring foreign countries where they won't know anyone, and won't speak the language

I've just recently started a C For Engineers class at my university, and am completely and utterly confused. ...If I am asking questions that are in the FAQs, I'm sorry, I have no idea what I'm looking for-
Here's my problem. This C For Engineers class covers Engineering-related programming problems. Our professor is going over basic C functions and is teaching us how to solve mathematical problems using C, and I completely understand everything he is going over. However, he has completely neglected to discuss anything involving the tools required to create these programs. (Yes, I understand the process one must go through in order to create a program, that is not what I'm having a problem with) We've all been supplied with a copy of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Pro, and were basically told to figure it out ourselves. ...I, however, have a mac, running OSX. So, naturally, I'd instead acquire XCode.
Without any of us knowing what to do, he has assigned a programming assignment, with a due date within the next few days. ...We must turn in a smooth-running program.
It's an incredibly simple program... A simple math problem. But I need to somehow, compile, debug, and test this program, so it meets his specifications and I get a decent grade. It's a short bit of text that I can't figure out how to compile in XCode (being that XCode is primarily set up to create OSX applications.)
I've created a new C file, have input all of my code, and now want to compile. ...But the compile option is greyed out, and inaccessable.
How do I compile this incredibly simple script on my mac?
I seem to have hit a brick wall.
All of the tutorials I've found on the internet teach you how to make, compile, and debug applications for OSX- I just want to test this short bit of code for this class- and nothing more.
Any suggestions??
Thanks, (I do realize this has become a bit lengthy, sorry.)

The Open: Recalling the year Payne Stewart made peace
PINEHURST, N.C. -- While he was playing a practice round with Payne Stewart at Pinehurst No. 2 before the 1999 U.S. Open, former PGA champion Paul Azinger felt unprepared, almost uncomfortable, watching his good friend go through his pre-tournament sessions.
Stewart had already won two major championships -- the 1989 PGA Championship at Kemper Lakes in Illinois and the 1991 U.S. Open at Hazeltine in Minnesota -- but he had lost the U.S. Open a year earlier at the Olympic Club in San Francisco when he took a four-shot lead into the final round, only to become undone by a divot, a slow-play warning and a late rally by Lee Janzen. That disappointment burned inside him, and Azinger could see the intensity in his eyes.
"He looked like he was just in a different place mentally," Azinger said. "I thought I was being out-prepared by him that way. I remember that feeling. It was an uncomfortable, uneasy feeling for me. He just went to another place mentally. He had kind of an entourage that week, and it just seemed like something special was going to happen. I don't know how else to describe it."
Something special did happen.
In one of the most dramatic finishes in U.S. Open history, a moment that has grown even more iconic with the tragic events that followed four months later, Stewart made an 18-foot par putt on the final hole to beat Phil Mickelson and win the U.S. Open -- a moment that has been immortalized with a statue not far behind the 18th green at Pinehurst No. 2.
With his right leg thrust behind him and his right arm punching forward, Stewart's euphoria was uncontained. He bear-hugged his caddie, Mike Hicks, who leaped into his arms like a child happy to see his dad. Then he went over to Mickelson, whose wife, Amy, was due to deliver their first child, and wrapped both hands around his face.
"You will make a wonderful father," Stewart said to Mickelson.
On an unusually cool day in the sand hills of North Carolina, Stewart did more than show the resolve of a warrior and gain the respect befitting a three-time major champion. In front of his peers and people who only knew him for his knickers and tam o'shanter-style cap, he completed a personal metamorphosis that saw his sometimes churlish character soften like Pinehurst's rain-dampened greens.
"You know, you can't make predictions," Azinger said recently. "Believe it or not, Payne had already won two majors leading into that event, and I still think that he wasn't really respected. He had the Avis reputation and nickname [for always finishing second]. When he made that putt on 18, I was watching it from my room and thinking there's no way he's going to reach, and when that thing reached and went in, I just couldn't believe it.
"And immediately, immediately, he earned the respect that one major should have gotten him, certainly two. But it actually took three. And he became revered and he became almost iconic. Now all of a sudden the whole knickers look wasn't a gimmick and Payne Stewart cemented his place in history."
Four months later, at age 42, Stewart was gone. On Oct. 25, 1999, he died in a bizarre private-plane accident in which he, his agent Robert Fraley, both pilots and two other passengers lost consciousness due to a loss of cabin pressurization.
The Learjet 35 aircraft in which they were traveling was originally on a flight from Orlando to Dallas, where Stewart was to discuss building a new golf course for his alma mater, Southern Methodist. But the plane strayed off course over northern Florida and continued flying to the northwest until the fuel apparently ran out. A U.S. Air Force F-16 was dispatched to spot the aircraft and reported the cockpit windows were obscured by condensation or frost.
The plane carrying the incapacitated passengers continued to fly for four hours, covering 1,500 miles, before it spiraled to the ground and crashed in Aberdeen, S.D.
"He was as happy as I had ever seen him," Hicks said in a recent interview on ESPN. "And he's gone. Just like that."
There was another U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in the years since Stewart's dramatic victory. In 2005, Michael Campbell won his first and only major championship when he bested Tiger Woods by two shots, a tournament remembered more for the final-round collapse of 54-hole leader Retief Goosen, who shot 81 in his bid to become the first repeat champion since Curtis Strange in 1989.
And the tournament returns there this week, with Mickelson hoping to end his record number of second-place finishes (6) -- the first of which came at the very same site 15 years ago.
But there will never be another U.S. Open at Pinehurst like the one in 1999, no matter how many more they play.
"The last time I saw Payne was in the tunnel underneath the clubhouse about 10:30 that Sunday night," said former two-time U.S. Open champ Andy North, who played practice rounds with Stewart at U.S. Open venues. "He's not only missed by an awful lot of people, he was really a very important guy in our game at that time."
A different man
When he lived in Orlando, Stewart would go to Bay Hill twice a month and stop in to see Arnold Palmer, often talking about golf but also about life.
Palmer referred to Stewart as "different," noting that he was "well-liked by the guys," but adding, "Not always."
Then Palmer said, "That's where the problem was."
Stewart won 17 times in his PGA Tour career, including those three major championships, and had a swing sweeter than southern tea. His colorful, distinctive clothing set him apart from the other players and endeared him to the fans.
But his disposition wasn't always as smooth as his swing. He could be aloof to many he came across, condescending to some, flippant to others. Journalist John Garrity wrote in Sports Illustrated that Stewart was "a quieter version of Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas morning."
Palmer recalled a time Stewart came to a function at Bay Hill, wearing a hat in the clubhouse.
"We have a club rule you don't wear a hat inside," Palmer said. "He was asked to take the hat off and he said no, he won't take it off. We said, well, you either will or you will leave. And he got up and left. I was upset about that."
Palmer said Stewart eventually came back to the club one day and all was forgiven. He also said he saw a change in Stewart after what happened at Pinehurst. To this day, Palmer, a former pilot who owns his own plane, still shakes his head over the unfortunate manner in which Stewart died, calling the accident "inexcusable" because the plane wasn't properly checked before takeoff.
"Some people were killed who shouldn't have been killed," Palmer said.
Death is legacy's buffer. It has a way of glossing over the bad and punctuating the good. And so it might have been with Stewart. But others noticed a shift long before that, starting to see a change in him before what happened at Pinehurst.
"The few years prior to that, he really turned his life around and became a Christian," said former British Open champ and good friend Mark Calcavecchia, his two-ball partner in the 1991 Ryder Cup matches who often shared a rental home with Stewart and his family at major championships. "He was a little bit of a wild man in his early age, but he was such a prankster. He had everything 100 percent perfect in his life -- winning the Open, his wife, Traci, is an amazing woman, his kids are great. It's just a tragic accident, for sure."
The outward change in Stewart was evident a year earlier at the Olympic Club when he blew the four-shot lead he carried into the final round. Stewart's demise began on the 12th hole when, holding a one-shot lead on the player who beat him six years earlier in the U.S. Open at Baltusrol, his perfect drive landed in a sandy divot in the fairway, leading to a bogey. For the first time since early in the first round, Stewart was no longer the outright leader.
Worse, Stewart agonized so much over the shot that landed in the divot -- he believed players should be given a free drop, as though it were ground under repair -- that his group was given a slow-time warning by the USGA. One more bad time and they would be issued a two-shot penalty.
Stewart bogeyed two of the final three holes to lose to Janzen. Afterward, there was none of the usual Stewart behavior, no sniping, no bitterness. Hicks, his caddie, said in an interview with ESPN, "When I first started caddying for Payne in 1988 he could be a real bitter person if something like that happened. But he was genuinely happy for Lee Janzen."
This was a new Payne Stewart, and many believe that's why he came to Pinehurst a year later so determined, so focused. Or, as Azinger said, in a different place mentally.
One to remember
After what happened at Olympic, Stewart was so determined to master the art of hitting shots from a sand-filled divot that he stood on Pinehurst's range and did just that -- hit shot after shot from sand-filled divots.
But that wasn't all.
He also carried a yardage book, something he never did, and marked every spot where he didn't want to hit the ball around the crowned greens that look like upside-down saucer cups.
What's more, he came to Pinehurst on something of a roll, having won earlier in the season at Pebble Beach and losing in a playoff at Hilton Head. Curiously, he missed the cut at Memphis the week before the Open, primarily because he was thinking ahead to Pinehurst.
But that may have helped Stewart because he got to Pinehurst earlier than planned and had a chance to learn the devilish greens.
It paid off on Sunday when he one-putted each of the final three holes -- saving par from 20 feet on No. 16, making a 5-foot birdie at the par-3 17th and getting up and down from 50 yards in the fairway at the final hole to set up the winning 18-foot par putt.
"Nobody has ever made three putts in the last three holes to win a U.S. Open in history," said NBC analyst Johnny Miller, who won the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont with his famous final-round 63. "Nobody has ever made those three clutch putts, especially the putt at 18 that is straight uphill, which is the hardest putt in golf, to be honest with you. You get no help from a straight uphill putt. You just have to hit it absolutely perfectly to make it and you just can't make it any other way."
And Stewart did. The drama of the moment, the reaction from the man who was not always liked by his peers, the tragic suddenness with which his life was taken shortly thereafter, have conspired to make what happened 15 years ago at Pinehurst one of the greatest spectacles in major-championship history.
"The way he left the game was so tragic," Azinger said. "[David] Feherty asked me, when I did the show with him, he asked me how do I want to be remembered? I've given that some thought, but my answer to him was that I didn't really care how I was remembered because I couldn't control that. I just wanted to live my life so one day I'd be missed.
"Payne Stewart did that, I guess, especially towards the end. He wasn't the most popular player amongst the players at times. He could cross the line when he was joking with you. But I think in the end, everybody really respected Payne, and he's certainly missed by multiple millions that love the sport and the people that knew him personally."

|I don't think there is more than a handful of moves on this route that rates a 5.5. Careful route finding is needed on the fourth pitch, go right at the, "V" slot.

|Strange first pitch on this one. The next two pitches are fun. The walkoff descent is easy to miss and can lead to some interesting downclimbing in spots.

|Its funny how 4th class gullies are the most awkward climbing. That would sum up the first 90 on this climb. Pleasant easy 5th once you leave the gully. Long walk off!

|Great first Yosemite multi-pitch climb for beginners. The last pitch is fun and exposed, but make sure to traverse right after the jugs. If you start heading up slab and hit a bolt, you're going the wrong way. Hike all the way up to the upper falls and hit the lower falls pools for a truly "Five-star experience."

The walkoff, especially in its current, early-season state, is a strong counter argument to doing this route. Do you need two ropes to rappel?
Also, the 5.5 variation can add a lot of ropedrag, so sling accordingly.

Did this route with my wife on July 28. When looking for a route in the morning on a hot summer day, this is a good choice -- the majority will be shaded, and all the belays have shade.
As for the Pitch 3 5.4 face/jugs climbing variation, contrary to the info there are in fact protection opportunities where it matters -- Yellow TCU fits perfectly in a pin scar. While a tad runout (hardly), you plug the pro before the "crux" move so it feels very safe. I highly recommend going this way -- very fun.
Be careful on the descent because it is quite sketchy. Lots of very loose dirt/leaves/rock that, if you were to slip you would surely be a goner. The descent about two hours in total to get back to the bottom of Sunnyside Bench. To descend in less than an hour would be pretty reckless.

|Only a couple of "5.5" moves getting to the second belay, "am I supposed to climb this tree?". Not that cool of a route. Would of had fun spending time on something else.

A fun solo. Cool views. Dang ants be all up in yo bidniss on the final crack.
If for P3 you go left up a sorta flake ramp thing instead of right to the 5.5 crack or 5.4 face, there is a rapp station with two newish bolts/hangers and rings. This would deposit you in the gully you started up.
The hike out isn't too bad. Then again, it's still technically winter so it may be a bit more bare than usual.
A fun climb I find myself doing on a regular basis to get away from people. Go for it.

Wow. First route ever in Yosemite. I printed the description and used it. A few tips to description above of 10' to 15' up the chimney. It's not feet. STAY IN THE CHIMNEY for about 100 feet. The tree will be right there. Sling it and bring up your partner. Head out to the exposed rock platform with nice holds and feel your jaw drop at the views of the valley. Head up past the manzanita and do the boulder move. The second tree is right there. Go up the crack with jugs and STOP when the crack ends. Nice foot hold on your right. Place pro in that crack. MOVE TO THE RIGHT. DO NOT GO UP THE EXPOSED AND RUN OUT FACE! It was terrifying. The team in front of us told me that I missed the slight traverse to the right that leads into juggy holds. Whoops. I made it though.
We walked around for a half hour til we found one of the most sketchy trails I have ever seen in me life. If the tallus had slid we would have slid to our deaths. Two old geezers just walked on past but we decided to rope up. Perhaps I have grown too attached to this life....

|Did this route yesterday for the first time. Was initially questioning whether the route was worthwhile considering its supposed lack of challenge and some of the comments about the descent. I have had my share of epic descents (e.g. North Dome Gully - sometimes you find it easily then, a few years later - "where the hell is it?"). The pitches are short but the route was fun, with some route finding challenge. We had no problem following the instructions in the guide book about the descent. Just ascend more or less straight up until a narrow but well trod climbers trail is encountered. Follow the trail east - take your time. The trail does get a bit faint in spots but is easy to follow. After a few hundred yards or so you should be able to see the maintenance yards or stables below you. You will also see below you a rockfall/wash or drainage. Do not go directly down the drainage. Continue following the trail a bit further, it will gradually start to descend and then doubles back toward the drainage. Then the trail serpentines (some boulder-hopping) down the drainage to the ground depositing you behind the stables. The descent took 40 minutes.

|other descent option: since you should go swim in the falls anyway you can rappel from the falls area. In the above photo (Brian's) you will see a fixed line that you can follow to the edge of the cliff. There are 3 rappel stations on the cliff. You can reach the first with two 60m ropes, and you can do another single rope rappel to the 3rd rappel station, or possibly go to the ground(unconfirmed). The lowest station is further to the side and makes it easier to avoid landing in the water at the base. I have got to the lowest station with two 60m ropes (they almost reach, but don't), but it required some shenanigans and could be a great way to kill yourself in front of a bunch of families taking pictures on the bridge if you don't have experience and are out on one of your first climbs. Two 70m ropes will get you down in 2 rappels easy(confirmed while doing middle earth). This option does not exist in spring or during periods of higher water. there are no chains, so extra material to back up the threaded bolts may be useful if they look sketch.

Climbed it today.
1st pitch is super easy. Avoid the loose looking boulder at the top by doing some chimney moves next to it and then going over to the left ramp.
2nd pitch is easy 4th. Next time i would solo it. Ends at a ledge with anchor opportunities (or continue up to one of the trees and belay).
3rd pitch is the best, it follows a 5.5 corner (a few stem moves) and finishes with a really cool and easy, but also exposed, traverse to another tree. If rope drag is bad or there are parties above you then make a belay here. However the belay is not very comfortable and your kinda hanging/standing on a small ledge.
Finish of by climbing easy low 5th class cracks to the top of some slabs.
Descend: climb exposed slabs (be careful, they're easy but a slip could be fatal in some spots) to the top and find a climbers trail heading right. This trail is covered in brush. Follow this trial until you reach an obvious gully. You will pass many drop offs with trails heading over to them but these drops aren't your exit points. Scramble down the gully to the main trail, turn right, and head back to the falls.
You can also rappel instead of hiking around but we did not do this option.
Gear: I had a set of nuts (4-10), a set of cams (.3-4) with doubles of .75-3, this was more than enough to get to the top comfortably. Ditch the quick draws and bring around 10 or so slings.

The descent was really sketchy - probably a combination of overuse, erosion, and drought. We roped up a few times - not because we were uncomfortable with the close, steep dropoffs - but because the loose dirt was unpredictable and small slides were happening all around us. In the future I'll be looking for the rappels on this route. Or rapping the route from trees. This is one instance in which rappelling may actually be safer than hiking.
There are newish looking bolts that have been banged in (read: unusable) at the top of the last pitch. So we ended up going all the way to the top.
Not sure this route is good for a new leader as it requires savvy when protecting (a lot of loose rock, a lot of dangerous placements that may look good) and route finding. A wandering route with plenty of opportunity to create rope drag. Also, the 5.0 slab at the top is sketchy because it is incredibly dirty and isn't protectable. Be very comfortable climbing slab when topping out on this route.
Do the 5.5 variation (left-facing corner/crack system) for more pro and lots of fun! Felt right at home for this Gunks climber.
PS - SuperTopo forums have more info on the descent. Read it before doing it. I wish I did.

I did this climb for the first time over Spring Break, and while the exposure was a blast, the stream running down the first pitch made for some sketchy placements.
From the top of the route, try to veer right relatively soon to find the hiker trail back down, as the route beta we had led us up to the bottom off the slam beside the pools, and as a result a loose dirt and rock slide back down to the hiker trail.
I also recommend the left facing 5.5 variation over the 5.4 face climb.

|This is a nice route, but the 3rd pitch is long and has some pretty heavy rope drag by the time you get to the belay tree. Additionally, from where the third pitch ends to where the walk off trail starts is a little less than a pitch worth of climbing. It's exposed and there aren't a ton of places to place gear. Not sure if I missed something, but I didn't see anything in the supertopo book about that. Other than that, great route with great views, especially from the belay ledge at the top of pitch 2.

|Did anyone find two fresh bolts/hangers on a slab on the third pitch (not the bent ones mentioned earlier, those were about 30' after these new ones)? Is that a variation? First multi pitch for the both of us so not sure if this is common but it seemed extremely wandering and not super obvious but the climbing is super easy so you feel relatively safe, not sure we strictly stuck to the route even but I found it to be mostly uninteresting but the view is incredible!!

Your editorial on April 8 calls the latest barrage of press releases from the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) "a public relations stunt" and I have to wonder who put this new plan together on short notice and full of fact spinning malarkey. They seem to be flopping like a fish on dry land, or as I have characterized it in the past, they are like a dying snake that won't stop moving until you lop off the head.
These CHSRA guys (board members and their loyal staff) will be meeting in San Francisco this week to see how they can try to fool people into buying some part of the latest crazy scheme. They want to convince the legislators to release a few bucks (a $3 billion slush fund) just to do a little planning - and of course, it will keep the home fires burning in the office so that staff and board members will have somewhere to gather around the table and draw a new rail line with a start and finish that will get a couple of votes from someone.
These people don't have a project manager and they don't have a finance manager, but they have a great PR firm and they want to renew their contract with them so that the artist's colorful drawings of beautiful bullet trains full of thousands of people can be mailed out with their latest description of some cockeyed dream (or nightmare).
This latest twist is that they can move from the current "train to nowhere" (above Bakersfield in the deserted valley) to a new location down through the mountains to the San Fernando Valley somewhere and in doing so they will "save" us about $30 billion.
We men understand the principle: the suit is on sale for $100 less than normal, so buy two and "save" $200. I'm sure we have all driven through the San Fernando Valley area and seen thousands of commuters standing along the road in the rain waiting to hitchhike to San Francisco (CHSR is no longer going to Sacramento - at least with this version). Now, for only $1,200 one way, they can get there in a couple of hours (assuming the train does not hit a meandering cow).
Oh!, and they have a new pot of gold to help pay for things. They'll just take a few bucks from the "cap and trade" fees. That's California's business-busting answer to "Gorebal warming" and this new idea springs from the office of Governor Moonbeam.
When you are done laughing call your state representative and let him know what you think.

John Mayer Involved in Ponzi Scheme Lawsuit (REPORT)
The 34-year-old musician has been pulled into a rather messy lawsuit over a $100 million Ponzi scheme. Mayer could be in possession of some $465,000 from a scheme operated by financier Darren Berg, TMZ reports.
Berg was sentence to 18 years of prison earlier this year.
But how did Mayer get involved with Berg's money in the first place?
Trustees that have been recovering the funds lost from Berg's criminal setup are now suing anyone and everyone involved.
Mayer is tied into the picture by way of a booking agency that was reportedly paid by Berg's company some years back. The agency, Grabow & Associates, was paid as much as $465,000 in Berg's dirty money, TMZ reports.
"John Mayer performed at a corporate event in 2008 and was paid for his services. The opportunity was brought to John through his talent agency, CAA," Mayer's lawyer clarified to TMZ on the weekend.
Mayer, who was most recently spotted with Perry for a post MTV Video Music Awards rendezvous, has yet to publicly comment on the lawsuit.
What do you think of John Mayer being sued over Ponzi scheme money? Share your thoughts below.
