co.bra - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI don't understand why they put the trackpad or trackball to the side of the keyboard. If you put the trackpad or trackball in the middle of the keyboard you don't have to move your wrist or bend it in an awkward position when you switch between typing and navigating. Reply
REALfreaky - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkImagine standing while operating the keyboard/mouse. That's why. Reply
co.bra - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI don't see the difference unless you can't put it on a surface, but then this form factor would be unusable anyway, even if the trackpad is on the side. Reply
nombrecinq - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkI actually have an older IOGear keyboard with the mouse buttons on the left and the trackball on the right. I've gotten totally used to it and I actually like it! My 15 month old really likes it too and goes to town on it, so when he successfully destroys it I will probably be getting one of the new models... Reply
Y0ssar1an22 - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkHi,
I'd be interested in seeing a thorough review of HTPC inputs. I've had two un-reliable Logitech diNovo Minis and am looking for a replacement. The Iogear GKM571R gets decidedly mixed reviews from users. There doesn't seem to be a quality solution.
Thanks! Reply
nathanddrews - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI bought this a while ago. Love it. Works great with Ubuntu XBMC, too.

justinmalek0 - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkI have this remote too. Absolutely love it. I use it with Win7 and with some remapped keys I no longer have to hold the function key to get to the multimedia buttons Reply
Avendit - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkThese are all missing the part to become the final all in 1 - the addition of a learning IR remote. There are some ebay specials that do bluetooth keyboard +trackpad or ball +IR, but these don't look to be the same quality as the dinovo mini, or these devices. Yet I'm reluctant to shell out on another similar device until IR is part and parcel and integrated.
Unless I'm missing something?? (Is there an IR blaster I can relay commands from the dinovo to my amp via the PC that I just haven't seen?)

EnzoFX - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkA remote. I don't want the WMC standard remotes, they are cheap and little to no features other than having a directional pad for navigating anything outside of media center. I also don't need the million+ devices control of a Harmony. Let alone the all too standard mushy buttons and bad layout. I really like the remotes coming out with google tv devices lately. Simple upfront layout, with the back having a full qwerty remote. Bluetooth connectivity should be standard. Sony makes some good looking remotes on said devices. I even like the one on their NSZ-GT1, trackpad isn't all that important to me. In my use, a big keyboard is kind of fail. If you have to resort to a large keyboard and mouse/trackpad, then you're doing HTPC wrong haha. If you're seriously going to browse or quickly look something up, then you're better doing that on your smartphone or tablet.
Oh, and yes of course I want it to at least be able to turn my TV off/on + volume, IR blaster built in to the remote. Reply
EnzoFX - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkOh, and another obvious feature: Ability to map at least a FEW of the buttons, you know, to launch our HTPC applications of choice. We don't need to do EVERYTHING via a directional pad. I don't want to be navigating more than I need to. HTPC's are about convenience. Reply
nicolaim - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkI use the excellent HP Wireless Mini Keyboard
The problem it has is common to many of the devices mentioned here: no backlighting. If this keyboard had backlighting I think it would be hard to beat. One improvised solution would be to attach a small LED and switch to the batteries to shine on the keys. Another improvised solution is to put some tape or stickers on or next to the most-used keys so they can be found in the dark. Reply
truprecht - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkI keep a cheap Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard on the TV stand, and use the Mobile Mouse app on my iPhone/iPad when I don't want to move my lazy self off the couch. For HTPC usage it works as well as any keyboard/trackpad combo, the Lite version is free and the full version is only $3. Reply
Sangueffusor - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkThe GKM561R works pretty well with Raspbmc on my Raspberry Pi. Haven't found out how to get the scroll wheel working, though. Reply

Ripcord for Yaks
Purchased the Ripcord for some security when my yaks are roof top in public places. Added a security bar to the yak and simply thread the RC through the bar when using it as a tie strap to the "J" cradle. Doing this allows 1 pair of RC to secure 2 yaks. The RC can be used to secure to a cradle like a std strap, just be prepared for a bit more effort while doing so. They are quite stiff and have a memory of the coil shape as they are packaged. BTW security bar must have at least 1 inch of width to thread the rip cord as there is no fitting it through an opening narrower than the cord width. They are not very compressible
Good Product
Useful, easy to use, and less expensive than comparable equipment. A little stiff when new, but it loosens up (in a good way) after some use.

Thanks everyone who came along to the Manly Library mini zine fair last Saturday! We like libraries, and librarians who like zines, and everyone else.
Unfortunately we've had to cancel our table at This Is Not Art this year, due to uni and work commitments. Bummer. However, that leaves us a lot of time to prepare for the National Gallery of Australia (Canberra) zine fair that Sticky are organising to coincide with an exhibition (featuring zines) called Space Invaders in late October. More details as the date approaches.
We've set aside this coming Monday (13/09/10) to add the rapidly expanding pile of new zines and descriptions (see below) to the catalogue. You should look forward to that date, because we've been getting some good stuff. Until then,

Did you know?
The Kransberg mountain is home to the world's largest colony of Cape vultures.
You may know Marakele National Park in the Waterberg in Limpopo province is set in malaria-free dense savannah bushveld, and that you stand a reasonable chance of seeing the most of the Big Five there. But when you arrive, you won't be able to think of that.
Dominating everything is an enormous rose-tinted mountain range called the Kransberg (Afrikaans for 'cliff mountain'). How will it look at dawn, you wonder, camera-finger twitching. Will it still be so beautiful at dusk?
Then you start noticing the tall camelthorn trees. They are like sculptures here, the great grey-green nobility of the bushveld.
In the camps, warthogs kneel reverently, eating the green lawn. The vervet monkeys swing in trees a discreet distance away.
But you will remember this is serious wildlife country when you find a broad lion pugmark on the road and glimpse a golden pride in the bush. Or when you encounter elephants. They love to drink from the pools at the private lodges - and sometimes rip up the odd tree on their way out.
You'll see waterbuck, impala, zebra, kudu and baboons, sometimes all together in one glorious tableau under the tall camelthorns.
At a sprawling dam you may find pied kingfishers on the hunt and white-faced whistling ducks, tipturning themselves to peer under water.
Most special of all is the easy drive up to the Cape vulture colony atop that gorgeous Kransberg, part of the great Waterberg plateau. All around you are their enormous powder pale wings as they patrol the skies. Down below, the bushveld stretches to the horizon and beyond.
Just as unforgettable is the sight that greets you early next morning - the buttresses of the Kransberg transformed by the pink dawn light. And in the afternoon, you'll find yourself mesmerised by those cliffs again, watching as they turn a deep peach rose and then vanish with the night.

Troubleshooting tips
If you are deploying Reader or Acrobat across an enterprise to Windows clients or Terminal Servers and are encountering issues during the deployment, then this article will be useful for debugging such issues.
Adobe proivdes a tool called Tuner (Acrobat/Reader 7) or Customization Wizard (Acrobat/Reader 8+) to build transform files in MST format. These transform files can then be bundled with the standard MSI installer package from Adobe, and when the installer is run, it will apply the custom settings in the MST to the standard installation.
If you are encountering problems with your MSI and MST files, then here are some troubleshooting tips:
- use install mode on terminal servers:
- change user /install
- change user /execute
- check drive mappings for terminal servers:
- Very often some other drive like "M:" is used as the boot drive (it would be drive C: otherwise). This is so that users can still see their local drive C: when in the WTS session.
- put MST in same folder as MSI and run it using the command line:
- for example: msiexec /i AcroRead.msi /t Custom.mst
- check OS language versions as paths may differ i.e. C:\Programme instead of C:\Program Files
- rebuild the transform file on the same OS as the target OS you are trying to deploy to
- check the transform MST with ORCA as this will validate it and show the differences to the standard install
- use the msiexec UI and log files:
- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262.aspx
- a) msiexec /L [i][w][e][a][r][u][c][m][p][v][+][!]Protokolldatei.txt
- b) msiexec /q{n | b | r | f | n+ | b+ | b-}

This is a superb moderate route. Make sure to bring a 60 meter rope, as we came up short on virtually every pitch with a 50 meter rope. Also, make sure to scope out the correct crack on pitch 1 -- the one that continues all the way to the roof. We started on a crack 20 feet or so to the left, which petered out after 130 feet or so. Pitch 4 is a fairly continuous lieback crack of about one inch or less, so have plenty of gear in that range. A larger piece (#4 or #5 Camalot equivalent) is convenient for protecting the end of the pitch, but the angle is pretty low at that point, so this isn't a necessity.
Lastly -- what is the best way to descend the route? We did six full-rope rappels, which took forever. I've heard that there's an easy scramble off the other side, but I haven't done it.

|The best rap requires two ropes, and would be 4 raps in my dim recollection. The key to this is realizing to move about 30' climbers left after the 3rd(?) rap, to the top of Dihedral Grope.

|As recommended to me prior to climbing this route with a 60 meter rope combine the first pitch with the first part of the second and belay below the roof/alcove. The do the crux moves of pitch two with no rope drag and finish pitch 3 in two pitches. I never brought anything bigger than a #4 friend for the 4th pitch TCUs and Aliens are good to have. I always did the friction pitch by clipping all 4 bolts just keep moving right the old guide only show 3 bolts and then straight up to belay right at the base of the final crack. That would be the original route IMO but I would recommend doing the 4 bolt version (I think the 4th bolt is on a different route but its there and I always clipped it). That puts you at the tree and you can move right to the original crack or do an easy 5.5 layback pitch to the top. You can do 5 or 6 raps one should be a half rope length to make for better pulling (it should be obvious when you come to a short anchor). I have also done the walk off but it is also a long descent so I would do the raps.

|Great route. Do not waste your time with the #5. I had a #4 and #5 C4 and the #4 actually placed better than the #5. You will have to run out the last 25' or so of the lieback pitch which is not too bad. Even a #5 is too small to protect this and placing gear on this section would be difficlt.

|Very beautiful, but certainly challenging for the grade (my second would agree). Highly recommend a 60m so the first pitch can be climbed to the roof, cutting it any shorter just wouldn't do it justice. Don't be tempted to combine pitches 2 & 3, you'll loose all communication (verbal or rope) with your belayer. Also, I think ending pitch 2 at the start of the chasm, as opposed to in the alcove, would avoid rope drag for the next pitch and make for a more comfortable belay. The layback pitch (#4) would probably be easiest if you double-up on finger sized cams and leave the big cams at home (the O-W section is too big for cams and totally safe to run-out). Bolted pitch is an awesome mind exercise! Pitch 1 gets afternoon sun while pitch 4 remains mostly shaded. GEAR NOTES: The biggest cam I used was a 64-100 mm (~#4 camalot).

I have done this route several times and agree that it is absolutely stellar. From a historical perspective the slab pitch originally did have three 1/4" bolts for protection (it was quite a ways from the third bolt to the top of pitch) but I recall that the last time I climbed it the pitch had been re-bolted with modern bolts and a 4th bolt was added to the climb. I think the fourth bolt makes it a safer and more enjoyable climb.
You can also access some of the other Needles climbs from this route to make for a long fun day.

Did WP for the second time on 6/21/08 with JP Webb and Matt Hern and was impressed with how very good and varied the climbing is -- each pitch distinctive and worthy.
Two details: on P2, after the .8+ move out of the belay and some upward traversing under a roof/corner, one gets to the "alcove." Do belay here. Running P2 and P3 together only risks a stuck rope in the obvious pinch at the bottom of said alcove. Also, it's impossible to hear your partner(s) once you're on the next big ledge (above the cavern).
P3: face climbing to the right of the chimney/cavern (on the slab) is easy and pleasant. The bottom third can be protected in two horiz. cracks. The upper 40 feet is run-out but, again, easy 5th class. Step across the cavern/ditch at the top, where an oak branch rests on the slab.

|We approached from the bottom. It's helpful to know a large pine tree marks the start. Do not leave your stuff at the base of the climb, it's a hassle to get back to the start. Seirra classic. This climb is every bit as good as it's reputation. Climbing of all flavors, hand crack, overhang, chimmney, layback, slab it's all there.
By The Gray Tradster

The original first pitch climbs the obvious splitter hand crack in the center of the alcove to a sling belay at its end, not the easier crack/dihedral to the right. The second pitch starts with some bold but relatively easy face moves right off the belay.
This is one climb/formation where you want to leave nothing at the base.
To descend go all the way to the top and then look for rap slings on the north side. Do a short rap or continue west to a broken area where a 40-60ft 3rd class scramble puts you down on the north side. Follow the use trail back directly to the road.
The bolted face pitch originally had only two bolts. With a 50m rope simulclimbing was mandatory.
I've been told by someone that knows, that the crack to the right was the original line and Vernon got it wrong.

A revised description based on that in the main text (pitch lengths are approximate but close):
Pitch 1 (200 feet, 5.8)
A beautiful, knobby crack slowly tapers before leading to a belay in an alcove (stretch a 60 meter rope - climbers with a shorter rope will need to establish a belay from gear before the crack tapers to nothing).
Pitch 2 (50 feet, 5.8)
Climb delicate face holds out the left wall of the alcove (the crux of the pitch). Climb a slab alongside a thin crack. Move up and right on slab. Belay in a cave-like alcove above.
Pitch 3 (150 feet, 5.7)
Exit the cave to the right. A few slab moves lead to a large chasm/chimney. Walk into this to it's far end. Chimney up 20 feet and then scramble to a spacious ledge beneath the famous dihedral.
Pitch 4 (165 feet, 5.9)
An excellent and sustained pitch. Stem, jam and lieback a long, left-facing corner. The finger crack in the corner takes small nuts and cams (to one and one half inches). The difficulty eases at an edge. Above, the crack widens into a gaping offwidth. Place a 4 - 5" piece and then do a short undercling out left (5.8). From there, continuous 5.6 liebacking (no pro) leads to a small belay ledge. Save some small gear for the belay.
Pitch 5 (165 feet, 5.8)
From the right side of the ledge, runout, diagonaling slab leads past 4 bolts to a ledge. The runouts are not horrendous (5.8 sections are close to the bolts).
Pitch 6 (165 feet, 5.8)
Climb a beautiful, splitter finger crack which starts 20 feet left of where pitch 5 ends. This leads to the top.
For those lucky enough to own the Needles guidebook, the topo in that book is an approximation only. The photo shows the route perfectly.

rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a PG13
I can comment on that pitch since I just did it last weekend.
The answer is FAR. I would say roughly 35 feet apart. The harder sections are in the vicinity of the bolts (5.8 moves within 0-15 feet of bolts), but there is real climbing on the whole pitch. The bulk of the climbing is probably 5.6-5.7. Everything is there, you just have to be calm and patient and look around...the easiest path is quite circuitous. As Brad says, the runouts aren't horrendous, but it takes focus and I definitely had to concentrate to keep the lid on it.
It is a very satisfying pitch!

My partner and I felt the crux of the route (the steep exit off the slab on pitch 2) was 5.9, but the layback dihedral on pitch 4--although enduro in my opinion--did not have a single move of 5.9 on it.
You might be happy to have a #4 on pitch 1. I sure wish I had taken it with me instead of leaving it with my partner at the bottom. Take doubles of 2 and 3 and do not place any of them early on if possible; the middle of the pitch becomes and stays wide for a quite some distance. I had 60' feet of no pro here because I only had one gold and one blue cam left when I hit it and was leapfrogging them as I went.
Unfortunately, I can give no useful approach beta. It is, as posted elsewhere, totally dumbfounding. Probably a good idea to allow 90 minutes for approach unless you are familiar with the area.
Rack up at your car and carry only the kind of pack you would want to have on the route with you (as others have stated). Coming back for anything at the bottom could add 2 hours and many bushwhacks and ant bites to your day (depending on how you descend, I suppose). We walked off the entire thing, so it is possible to avoid rapping. Whether this is the 'best' way, I don't know--it's true the walk-off is long. There are some cairns to mark this descent as you head northish at the top; then proceeding with the best routefinding you can muster will get you off this way.
Do not climb directly bolt-to-bolt on pitch 5; yes, it is circuitous and involves some traversing at times off the bolts to avoid harder ground. I did get in one 0.75 Cam between chicken plates before the first bolt, but it was mostly a mental piece. Once to the last bolt, traverse directly right and then angle up and right to reach the top; I only state this beta because it is really not obvious at this particular place.

|fantastic route, seems so improbable, I looked at the first pitch and thought wow, gonna get sand bagged on this one, but it was all there. We took a double rack to 3 camolot which was way over kill, the big piece for the money pitch I didn't see the point. I got a #3 when you start to commit a big piece might give you and extra 5 feet of comfort? Just go for it and don't drag that big lug up there! 4 bolt face seemed a little easy for 5.8 but it is runout just search for the holds they are there. The last pitch (please take the thin crack for gods sake) was great also, just wish it stayed like that for days and days. Great finish to my first ever Needles adventure can't wait to go back.

|I like the big piece because it can be placed out left, where the short undercling turns to the runout layback. This big piece out left will keep you from swinging back into the dihedral if you come off of the layback section.

|Fantastic climb. We got off route on the first pitch on a crack about 20' left of the route. Instead of bailing, which it appears a couple other teams did previously, we set up a belay station about 10' below where the off-route crack ends and did a traverse 5.7/5.8 back on-route for the 2nd pitch. Using a 60m rope, we didn't have any trouble reaching the second belay station.

We climbed WPOD 9/8/2009. We got kinda schooled on the approach and descent- bugs, heat, brush, dust, pine needles. I was hoping to read here that we missed some secret info. We did miss the first part of the lower trail on approach, but it hardly mattered. Anyway, it was a grand adventure for sure. We descended the east side of the dome and found a full 60 m rope tangled along the base of the wall. It's faded, but looks to have been abandoned/lost relatively new. (ie not fuzzed or worn) We carried it out, in any case.

Great route. I did it back sometime around 2005.
Thought I'd comment quick about the runout lieback. I had no idea it was coming and was carrying nothing that big not even a #4, thus my last piece was the piton in the corner. Midway into the runout my rope caught on a little granite finger and I took a little slip down climbing/shaking it free. Would have really liked to had a big piece as Matt describes placed at that moment.

|There is no need to carry your stuff up the route. As I recall it was pretty straight forward to get back to the start. From the summit rap down to the tree at the top of pitch 5. It's been a while since I was there but I do remember good bolt anchors all the way straight down. At some point we always did one of them as a half rope. Just don't skip any anchors the one short one is there for a reason. You'll come out above and east of the start.

|I had the honor of swinging leads on this route back in 2003 and it was spectacular. My partner got the 5th runout slab pitch and I'm glad it worked out that way because she was WAY more confident in that type of arena than I was. I was fortunate to lead pitches 2, 4 and 6. Pitch 4 and that lovely dihedral was the best part. We did find it challenging to locate the start of the climb and dealt with the usual yellow deer flies, etc. However, it was truly one of the best climbs I've ever done and well worth the hike in.

|Just did it yesterday. South Approach is not easy. But after a few days it started to make some sense. The 5th pitch run-outs are indeed horrendous! 35-40 feet between some bolts and traversing. After the 2nd bolt at least the fall would be clean, but this was a delicate and stressful lead and therefore very satisfying in the end. Awesome, awesome climb!

|This awesome climb can be rapped on 2x60. 4 long and 2 short raps using brown, double-bolt anchors get you down in 20-30 min. Money pitch is easy but run-out. Enjoy!

Did this a couple weeks ago, it was definitely an epic. We arrived a day early to dial the approach which helped avoid any speed bumps the day of the climb. The first pitch was straight forward and a rope stretcher but a 60 does reach the alcove.
We didn't encounter any problems until the slab, which was mellow through the first 3 bolts. After the 3rd bolt we attempted to go straight up to the ledge which definitely seemed much more difficult than 5.8 slab. I proceeded to slip 15 feet above the 3rd bolt and cheesegrate for about 30 feet. After getting up, we saw the anchor 25 feet to our right--were you supposed to traverse right after the 3rd bolt to a 4th and then up to the anchors?
The dihedral was physical and fun, I felt the hardest part was the beginning where the right side bulges outward somewhat making it a little more difficult to stay in the crack as well as lieback.

Great climb!
Approach: when you reach a fork at a boulder you think is near the base of the climb, go right.
Pitch 4: I found a Black Diamond C4 #5 useful, huge mental piece. Anchor - I used a Metolius Master Cam #2 (yellow), Metolius Master Cam #1 (blue), and a Black Diamond Stopper #6.
Pitch 5: 4 bolts like everyone says, each is somewhere between 1 & 2 o' clock from the last one, 4th one is hard to spot; climb ends at two bolts for the anchor.
Descent: sucks.

Just to put it out there because I haven't seen mention of it, one can walk off (after rapping from the summit or not) the other way. That is, the gully between the Warlock and Voodoo dome. This involves some tricky trail finding to not get cliffed out as you make your way back to the base of the route (yes, this leads back to the base of the route) but it 's not bad. Just hug Voodoo dome when you get near the bottom of the gully. There are some cairns.
I've done both ways and this is definitely faster.
The approach is tricky because you're down in the trees and can't see the dome (where you're going) but just go up.
And I don't know where one would ever find a better 5.8 (or 5.9) pitch than the corner on this route. It has a slight curve to it so you can't see the whole thing from below. It just keeps going. It's seriously an extraordinary feature. Amazing and, really, just beautiful.

Climbed this last weekend...
So we hiked up thurs. after the drive from San Diego with all of our gear to dial the approach, then we set up a 2 man tent and left all of our gear and water off of the trail near the start of pitch 1... We came back fri. morning grabbed our gear and water and started pitch 1... The approach took about 1.5hrs with a 60lb pack
-Used a 70m rope...
Pitch(1&2) 1= (sexy)5.7+: medium cams 200+ ft,the cresent crack that leans left, hand/fist jams with left foot on face at times... when the crack starts to taper out transitioning to the crack on the right that leads to underneath the roof was the crux... climbed past the roof and set up the belay... this was not perfect because for the fact that the roof tends to auto lock the rope -_- ...
Pitch(3) 2= 5.7, 100ft follow crack that continues on the left up and around the right side of a boulder and into the birth cannal... continue through the cool corridor and stem up, continue a scramble to the start of pitch 4...
Pitch(4) 3= 5.8+, 160ft, Start the incredible enduro corner. 1" Left facing dihedral great secure finger locks... BD#00-.5 with a bd#3 up high underneath the offwidth... throw your feet in the offwidth and hang upside down for style points... continue up the 30-40ft runout of low angle offwidth/layback... you can use a Right knee/heel, Right hand/elbow body cam to rest inside the offwidth if need be. Once on top of the offwidth on the ledge set up the belay, continuing up the crack seemed 5.10c ish?
Pitch(5) 4= 5.8 pg13, 160ft, Bolted belay, Can set up a great belay medium sized cams... This was in my opinion the best pitch ( the enduro pitch was very awesome), due to the sweet granite slab climbing, the run out bolts, and the amazing exposure... The first bolt is about 25ft from the top of the dihedral and to the right, about 45ft from the start of the climb... from the ledge Mike traversed down and to the right continued up and moved left to the black dots of granite then up to the 1st bolt... 2nd bolt is about 25ft up and to the right which if I remember correctly was the crux, traverse R off of bolt 1. the rest is up and slightly to the right...
Pitch(6) 5= 140ft, 5.9 finger crack with a 5.10a face move takes small to medium cams. the starting crack tappers out and the crux is the face move transition into the crack on the right... continue up and belay from the tree or further up right and body belay...
Continue up to the top for an amazing view... on the north side there is a small ledge that you can scramble to. continue down and around the north west side of voodoo dome and follow the trail right next to the Warlock... scramble down between voodoo dome and the Warlock sticking close to voodoo dome...
Enjoy an epic and beautifully amazing classic climb in southern california...

|Fun! Great views! Great rock! 100 best climbs? Best in Sierra? Get real. There are 8 better lines 2 formations away! The 100 best lines dont include throwaway 2nd pitch or throwaway chasm pitch. Still, LOVED it, It is a great moderate sandbag at .8, with definite spice on pitches 4, & 5, p1 is glorious.

I want to comment on a couple things sdrockstar81 wrote in their write up.
Mostly, I disagree that a 70m is a good idea. The only place they used the extra rope was on the first/second pitch, where he experienced "this was perfect except for the fact that the roof tends to auto lock the rope."
So, in other words, it wasn't perfect. Save the weight, use a 60m.
Secondly, I didn't find any 10a on the last pitch. I climbed the finger crack and did have a thin face move to transition into another crack but wouldn't call it 10a.
Also, don't let the "50 feet to first bolt" on P5 scare you. That is the easiest bolt to reach, with the hardest 5.7 move close to the the anchor. 50 feet sounds like an over estimate.
I think Brad Young's description is spot on.
Cheers sdrockstar81, this is a great route, glad you enjoyed it!

|Rad Route! A classic for sure. Accidently linked pitches 2&3and did some face climbing to the right of the chimney towards the top of p3, rope drag was there but not horrendous. The runouts on the fith pitch are nothing to be worried about. Descent was through the gulley on the right side of the dome......didnt really follow much more than game trails, made one rap off a tree at one point.

|APPROACH info from LOOKOUT side-straightforward easy trail walking most of way. About 80 mins from camp to warlock-voodoo notch with full packs moderate pace. 20-30 mins down gulley to base of climb following mostly obvious trail.. (Staying near skiers left "hug voodoo") Top out and return to packs at notch hike out easy trail to camp. Pretty easy approach, and can leave gear to climb other routes next day. Fun route. No need for anything bigger than #4 bd.

|watch out for ants if you leave any gear at the base. worse ant infestation I've seen in 30+ years of climbing.

A couple notes: approach trail is in pretty good shape, not hard to follow. The start is more like 1/4 mile up the road from the parking area, look for an old stump with a duck on it.
On p3, climbing out of the alcove to the right, it's easy to get your rope pinched. I'm wondering if anyone has tried climbing the cool looking arete on the left side of the chasm... looks super fun and mellow, but maybe difficult to access and sparse pro.
Also sending a little love for p6, I thought it was the best pitch on the route. Amazing splitter fingers with an interesting thin crux.

|just to add I climbed many years ago with the old bolts: its a sporty run out on the slab pitch. Travel light, no need for a big pack. And I agree the descent off the back, contour down then one rap thru trees to base of the dome wasnt bad at all. Heading back this spring.

super rad route! was pleasantly surprised to find the route empty and not to hot in late july.
the approach (from the southeast) and decent (1 rap off the summit to the northeast hiking back to the road) were both well marked with cairns and reasonably easy to follow.
agree with the other comments about traveling light and not bringing big gear. a bd #3 and a double rack of the rest of (tcus to bd #2) was totally enough for a 5.10- leader.
real talk about how fun that dihedral pitch is. wow.

Did this great route yesterday with NB !
A few comments that may be helpful- We took our sweet time climbing and enjoying the scenery, got plenty lost on approach but made good time on descent. Took exactly 12 hours ( noob time) In retrospect, we could have done much faster if we hauled less and had approach dialed. The follower hauling a pack made those pitches less fun as climbing with a pack is no fun, especially in the dihedral and chimneys. But seemed a necessary evil in order to haul water/ food approach shoes. In retrospect, since im lazy, i would have figured out the rapp off instead.
Approach-The trailhead easy enough to find, but this is key: After a few minutes on trail, there is an obvious fork with a cairn. One looks a tad more traveled and goes to the left and then up a dirt hill to the bear clover meadow, the other goes right to LOST land. GO LEFT HERE. ( Follow the trail babies and it should lead up easier terrain to the general base of climb area) Figured this out after we went right and ended up on 2 hour approach bushwack, and rough terrain leading to far to the right of WPOD base area.
Descent- seems like conflicting info is out there on getting off, but it would seem from the summit, you MUST do the short north face rappel to get to hike level. ( some beta said otherwise, we could see no "non sketchy" to get off the dome.Once to trail level, don't just head east as you will cliff out, go north west-ish to find the trail. Its very well marked if you pay attention to the trail babies. It wraps all the way around and meets back up with the original trail.
P1- very fun, but the slickest section of granite on route. We went to the alcove. ( permanent slings here for a rap off, but would need two ropes.)
P2- Theres a newer yellow Cam super stuck in the crack overhead, below the roof. Great first clip! Pulling the roof was fun! Then a short face climb to the second alcove. ( Another webbing nest here for a rapp deep in the alcove) -
P3- Confused here on of we did this right- If you climb out right and up the face, then you have to descend into the trough and the rope drags like crazy on the constricted granite. Especially after placing a few pieces in the trough, then the chimney section ( which was a blast! ) Used the tree for an anchor which is about 20 feet below the P4 belay, due to excessive drag) If i was doing this again, i would climb through the small cave in the alcove to decrease drag.
P5- More fun that challenges the laws of gravity/rubber/stick. :)
P6- We did the splitter vs the other variation above the bolts. The first 40 feet of the splitter were mindblowingly fun :)

|We did this climb about two weeks ago. The hardest part was finding it. The description here is quite inaccurate and confusing. The climb is on the left side of the dome and it is quite hard to identify the "massive detached block", because there are so many. If going from the road below the dome, go to the left side of the dome, which means to the left from the obvious roof in the middle of the wall. To get to the climb you will have to scramble a little and do some moderate bushwhacking to reach a pine tree below the climb. Do not hesitate to go further to the left than you would expect.

This is a great route that includes a bit of everything - lieback, slab, chimney, and face moves. Plus the views ... highly recommended!
We climbed WPOD on 11/30 after the early winter storm. The approach trail was fairly easy to follow, even with a few inches of crusty snow. The ledge below P1 was covered in ice. Thankfully most of P1 and P2 were dry and super fun climbing.
Leading P4 was awesome except for the 2 foot wide span of ice that began at the offwidth start and continued until the belay. I slipped on the ice and took my first fall on gear after placing a #4 at the undercling and pulling around the bulge. I was able to step wide over the ice on the 2nd go. The runout would have been much more enjoyable if it were dry :)
I'm glad my partner led the wet P5 slab. It was fun traversing and routefinding, but man it seemed heady with the runout between bolts! Guess I need to up my slab game.
We rapped down through a few inches of powder after sunset and made it back to the lot after about an hour of post-holing up to waist-deep snow. Awesome late season send!

Alexey291 - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkHoly crap its like the same phone... but worse Reply
Drumsticks - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkBlargh... I dunno. This is not too impressive. And why with the 512MB of RAM... I know it's the most budget-conscious of phones, but shouldn't it be possible to fit 1GB in?
Also, heavier, less storage, less graphics, same camera, basically same display, and a (maybe) arguably better CPU. >.< Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkLooking at the specs on this, it should've been called the 430. The 630 should've been the 530, and a new $200-250 design should have been given the 630 moniker. Reply
The_Assimilator - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkWhy a quad-core in the lowest of low-end phones? Rather double the internal storage and RAM. Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkYou're assuming that they could've saved any money on the BOM by going to a dual-core solution, which likely isn't the case. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkNo idea what the cost difference is, but the snapdragon family does include two dual core a7 parts. Reply
ViRGE - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkBecause the Asian markets are all about quad cores. It's what sells, even if it's not logical. Reply
Roland00Address - Thursday, July 24, 2014 - linkWhat you say is logical and a smarter decision from a balance standpoint, you are not going to use 4 cores with a 512 mb design.
Yet it barely cost more to buy a quad core soc vs a dual core soc due to how small a7s are. Arm says a single a7 core on 28nm without cache is half a square mm. So we are talking roughly 1 square mm for the two additional cores. There may be some additional die size due to cache but I do not know the cache amounts.
Yet marketing four cores instead of two sell devices, especially in Asia thus it makes sense to pay the trivial amount more for a quad core. Especially if you can negotiate the price difference down due to volume. Reply

aryonoco - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkSomething that used to be true, but isn't really anymore.
The Moto G and the Moto E have done wonders for Android's reputation on the lower end, and arguably provide a much better user experience than these Lumias. Android One (set to launch later this year) will push that same user experience down below the $100 line. Reply

BMNify - Thursday, July 24, 2014 - linkWindows Phone works smooth even on old Snapdragon single core with Adreno 200 and 256MB ram(ex: Lumia 510,610), so your expectation and comparison with Android is wrong. Reply
mkozakewich - Thursday, July 24, 2014 - linkUgh, the thickness.
This is interesting, though, in that it's like a phone from 2010 with the really crappy CPU and graphics improved. I just really wish it had a 720p screen. Aren't those common enough now to be price-competitive?
$600 phones have gotten a lot more powerful over the last few years, but this gives us a good indication of how cheap those phones would be with (generally) the same level of power.
Nintendo likes their $100-$150 portable devices. In a couple years, I half-expect them to release some kind of cheap Android phone with 3DS-like controls around the screen. (Or, knowing them, their own kind of simple OS only for Nintendo games and first-party tools and social apps? Hopefully not.) Reply
Wolfpup - Thursday, July 24, 2014 - linkWhat's the difference between an Adreno 305 and 302 I wonder?
And I have to wonder if an extra 20% clock speed can make up for the deficit between an A7 and an "A9+".
Still, at least it takes 128GB (though that raises the price of the phone...) Reply
nikon133 - Thursday, July 24, 2014 - linkDoesn't really make sense. 4C processor in lowest end budget phone... but with storage reduced to puny 4GB (yes I know it will accept SD, but still) and 512MB of RAM. I'd much rather have 2C with 1GB of RAM.
MS/Nokia are releasing too many variants of almost the same phone. Would they not reduce R&D and manufacturing costs if they unify all of those models between 520 and 630 into one phone? They could probably boost performance a bit, too. Reply
Paul Tarnowski - Friday, July 25, 2014 - linkI'd guess it's the whole higher numbers are better thing. That and RAM is really expensive right now.
At any rate, this may sell well in Asia, but it's unlikely to make a dent in the NA market. Reply

Meatless Monday is a global movement, a way of life. It's not a campaign to turn everyone in the world vegetarian or vegan; in fact, many involved are meat-lovers. Eating less meat has been proven to reduce the risk of disease, curb obesity and has important environmental impacts, too. Will you join us in giving up meat, just for one day a week?
Pasta is every home cook's secret weapon: it's inexpensive; you can buy it anywhere from bodegas to gourmet grocery stores; it lasts (practically) forever; and it's super easy and super fast to cook. Keep your cabinets stocked with your favorite shapes and types and you'll never be stuck without dinner ideas, even if you have little else in the house. Some of these are made with bare-bones kitchen staples, like lemon and garlic.
Penne With Spinach: Make a pesto-like sauce from spinach and cheese and mix it with hot pasta and even more spinach for a super-easy, veggie-packed meal.
Penne With Spinach Sauce (above)
Classic Spaghetti: Everyone should know how to make a good red sauce for ladling over your favorite pasta. Gabriele and Debi's recipe is traditional and meat-free, though it can be paired with sausage and meatballs for the meat-eaters at your table. Make a big batch and freeze it; use the sauce to make lasagna, eggplant Parmesan, pizza or eggs in purgatory.
Fettuccine Alfredo: This one's known for being indulgent, but everyone loves it. If you're wary of all the cream and cheese, try this vegan version instead, made with almond "cream."
Whole Wheat Linguine an Easy Sauce: Giada makes a creamy sauce from ricotta cheese and tosses it with pasta, tomatoes and green beans — the green beans mimic the shape of the pasta so you can twirl it all together on your fork.
Whole Wheat Linguine With Green Beans and Ricotta
Baked Pasta: Baked pasta is made extra-creamy (and cheesy) by adding creme fraiche with asiago and Parmesan before baking.
Creamy Baked Fettuccine With Asiago and Thyme
Spaghetti With Lemon: Sometimes the most simplistic ideas are the best ones. Just when you think you have nothing in the house for dinner, turn the box of pasta in your cabinet and the lemons rolling around in your 'fridge into a why-didn't-I-think-of-that-before combo.
Spaghetti al Limone: Spaghetti With Lemon Sauce
Frittata: Frittata's a great way to clean out the fridge and make dinner at the same time — load it with leftover vegetables and even pasta.
Pasta + Beans: Everyone's always worried that vegetarians don't get enough protein; here's the recipe that answers that — penne with protein-loaded, fiber-filled beans.

DARWEN Aldridge Community Academy's link with semi-professional Chorley FC is to continue for the foreseeable future, said the Magpies boss.
DACA's Football Academy was launched in 2012, in partnership with the then Evo Stik Premier League side.
It means the top youngsters from the academy can net semi-professional deals with the club, which last season won promotion to the Skrill North, just two promotions outside the Football League.
Former Blackburn Rovers captain Garry Flitcroft, who runs the Victoria Park outfit with former Rovers colleague and striker Matt Jansen, said he hoped youngsters from Darwen would soon make the grade at Chorley.
He said: "We had two lads that came in last season and did okay. They just weren't physically ready at this stage of their development.
"Matt Jansen has got the new crop of lads together and I will go down on Wednesday nights and if I see any lads who are looking ready, they can come and train with us."
Flitcroft, who played 248 times for the Ewood Park club after signing from Manchester City in 1996, said the chance to train with Jansen was a real boost for the youngsters.
He said: "The good thing about Matt is it helps him with the coaching side of it. It is great for the lads at DACA and he feeds back to me about how they are getting on. The hope is that a young lad from Darwen will get into the first team."
Flitcroft added that as the club progresses, it may look to develop its own in-house academy, but there was nothing imminently planned.
He said: "We are happy with the partnership and it will continue.
"We may look at doing our own academy as we progress up the leagues, but things are looking good at Darwen."
DACA principal Brendan Loughran said: "We have been delighted with the success of the partnership with Chorley FC. The 2013/14 season has been a great success with the first XI winning the Lancashire Cup and we are looking forward to continuing that success."

"Ant From Mars" found in Brazil, according to reports in PNAS online 15 September 2008, and University of Texas news, Austin, New Scientist news and Nature news 16 September 2008. A tiny pale ant that is so strange that evolutionary biologist E. O. Wilson joked that it must have come from Mars, has been found in the Amazon rainforest. The ant is 2-3 mm (one tenth inch) long with proportionally large mandibles, and has no eyes. According to New Scientist, "This combination of characteristics has never been recorded before, so the ant has been put in its own new subfamily - the first new subfamily of ants with living species discovered since 1923." It has been given the scientific name "Martialis heureka" meaning "ant from Mars, eureka" in honour of Wilson's joke.
The authors of the PNAS report summarised their findings: "On the basis of morphological and phylogenetic evidence we suggest that these specialized subterranean predators are the sole surviving representatives of a highly divergent lineage that arose near the dawn of ant diversification and have persisted in ecologically stable environments like tropical soils over great spans of time." Christian Rabeling, who found the ant in 2003, commented: "This discovery lends support to the idea that blind subterranean predator ants arose at the dawn of ant evolution."
One of the reader's comments on The Times article was "Don't tell the creationists!"
University of Texas, New Scientist
Editorial Comment: The creationists don't mind being told about this ant because it is better evidence for creation than it is for evolution.
If this is a unique type ant, unrelated to other ants then it is exactly what you would expect if living things were created as fully formed separate kinds. Ants are supposed to have evolved 120 million years ago. If this ant species really was that old it has reproduced after its kind just as Genesis said living things were created to do. If it is the sole surviving member a diverse group of ants, that is evidence that the world once had more ants and some have died out. This is the opposite of evolution, but fits the Biblical history of the world, which tells us that God cursed the ground as judgement on man's rebellion against the Creator. As a result the environment has become much harsher and anything that lives in the ground, such as this ant, will be affected. (Ref: arthropods, insects, extinction)

PPR-about-to-be-Kering is on something of another spending spree. In the last two days they have announced two (count 'em) acquisitions in Italy: the jewellery brand Pomellato, and the porcelain house Richard Ginori. The first buy is getting the most press, but it's the second that really interests me. See, it wasn't officially bought by Kering, but by Gucci (though this could be semantics, since Kering owns Gucci), and the purchase is being spun as the rescue of an important "Made in Italy" brand. Add that to two other Gucci intiatives, and it seems an image change is in the works, and no one has really noticed. Read more

Topic: A great place for CC or Klatskin cancer in Boston, Worchester? or near
Huong-My Nguyen update:
Just decided to transfer my dad to boston, where my sister live because I heard they have more advance in heath care and more doctors that are specialist in CC or klatskin cancer. My dad was determined inoperable as of now due to the tumor site to be in the "y" section and hard to operate, CT/radiation is his next step to hopefully resize and allow for resection. Though, Michigan (grand rapids) is limited in physician specialist in this field. If you know a great doctor in boston please let me know. I heard MAC is the best hospital for cancer patient around in boston, worchester, but i'm not sure how specialized they are in this CC field. If you know of anything please let me know...
PS: I was asked to fax or send all the info/data of my dads in advance, and I dont' even know how to get start with this. Please direct me

Cyprus Trips
Inhabited since ancient times, the island of Cyprus is shrouded in myth and mystery. Famed as the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, it remains a special favourite with lovers and newly-weds. Golden beaches drenched in amber sunsets, candle-lit tavernas thronging with traditional music and dance, luxury spas where guests can indulge every whim, and elegant boutique hotels that compete with the world's best for style, comfort, and luxury – these are just some of the island's alluring settings.
But Cyprus is full of culture too. Situated in the Eastern Mediterranean between the continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe, it has stood witness to thousands of years of drama and history. A coveted prize of powerful empires, it has passed through phases of Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Roman, Venetian, Ottoman, and British control. Today, it boasts an eclectic blend of historic architecture. Crumbling Roman ruins set upon rugged cliff-tops, daunting medieval castles filled with bravado and legends, handsome Venetian town-houses boasting immaculate Italian style, and intricate Turkish mosques rendered with precision and elegance – all are vital cultural backdrops to the Cyprus experience.
But despite its long and illustrious history, Cyprus is today a divided nation. In 1974, Greek nationalists staged a coup with the aim of transforming the island into a territory of the Greek mainland. Cyprus's Turkish communities resisted, and Turkey invaded. Since then, Cyprus has been divided into Turkish-controlled North and the Greek Cypriot south. Both sides are militarised and ethnic tensions remain. Nonetheless, many Greeks and Turks recall a time of peaceful co-existence and there are increasingly progressive sentiments among the island's youth.
Fortunately, the island's social divisions have done nothing to dent its popularity with outsiders. Boasting long, hot summers - not to mention 648km of rambling coastline – Cyprus has been one of Europe's most visited beach destinations for decades. In recent years, several large resorts have flourished and the summer vacation period sees the coast bustling with travellers. For those who prefer to get off the beaten track, the island is replete with mountain trails where you can hike and bike, explore traditional villages, enjoy local hospitality, and observe Cypriot folk customs. A definite highlight is the food, including hearty fresh seafood and fabulous local cooking styles that blend Greek, Turkish, Arabic, and Middle Eastern flavours.

Honey cake has been on my mind because it is traditionally made during Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year, which occurred last week. The cake is sweetened with granulated sugar and brown sugar, but most significantly, with honey, which symbolizes wishes for a sweet new year.
Honey cakes are moist and compact in crumb, fragrant with spices like cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. A rich mahogany color, its scent is warm and inviting; it's easy to see why it belongs on the holiday table. In addition to spices and honey, this cake includes coffee, apple cider, orange zest, and whiskey. While the coffee doesn't assert itself, it does add depth and richness to the cake. Apple cider and whiskey round out the flavors of this heady, spicy cake.
Although there is plenty of honey in the cake, I've added a shellack to the exterior for good measure. Even if Rosh Hashanah is over, honey cake is a perfect recipe for the fall and winter months that will be here before we know it.

Here's some stir fry I whipped up the other day. Thinly sliced up a flat iron steak, then marinated it in some Korean Teriyaki Sauce and Siriachi Sauce. Pretty tasty and quick weeknight meal.
I was wondering how the flat iron would turn out in stir fry. Tasted way better than the precut stuff in the meat section. The flat iron was much more flavorful and tender. Soaked up the marinade nicely too.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/27/14
The University of Texas System chancellor announced Friday he will allow a high-profile boxing match to be held on the school's El Paso campus if law enforcement can ensure a safe environment, reversing a 3-day-old ban that had upset city leaders. Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa had earlier canceled the June 16 fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Andy Lee at the Sun Bowl, citing only a ''higher than normal'' security risk. A law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Friday that federal risk assessment had warned leaders of warring Mexican drug cartels would attend. Cigarroa set several conditions for the fight to go forward. State, local and federal law enforcement must promise system officials they can handle any security measure. A security plan must be approved in advance by system officials and no alcohol can be served. The chancellor met by teleconference with local and federal law enforcement and city leaders and said they assured him they...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/1/2013 (1672 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BOSTON -- Nobody should be planning the Stanley-Cup parade route down Portage and Main just yet -- the Winnipeg Jets are winless in two straight to start 2013, after all -- but exiting Beantown with one point represents a significant step.
The Jets fell 2-1 to the Bruins in a shootout before an announced Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday crowd of 17,565 at TD Garden, one of the NHL's most-intimidating buildings.
After the buzzer
Hard to describe the mood in the Jets dressing room afterward -- sort of a mix of disappointment and accomplishment. A point in Boston is big, but the Jets also whiffed on four power-play opportunities, including one that ended the third and started OT.
"We had an opportunity to close out the game and our power play never really helped us, especially at the end," said head coach Claude Noel. "You get the opportunity five-on-four or four-on-three and you've got to get a lot more opportunities at the net."
Here's the kick-to-the-nether-regions stat to best represent that: after scoring in their very first power-play chance of the season, the Jets have now gone 0-for-9 with the man advantage.
"It's disappointing when you get those opportunities in the end there," said Evander Kane. "Myself, I can't be making those bad passes and not generating anything. That's something we're going to have to get better at."
First Period
Another solid start for the Jets, who have one of a possible four points to show for scoring first in both their games. Chris Thorburn banged home a rebound off a Paul Postma shot for his first of the season.
"It started with (Jim) Slater winning the faceoff and (Mark) Scheifele jumping on pucks like he always does," said Thorburn. "He always finds his way around or to be around pucks. Postma got the shot through and I just kept following down and was able to get a rebound past (Tuukka) Rask."
More numbers to consider: the Jets have two goals in two games, one by Byfuglien, the other by Thorburn. Is it too early to put the big guns under the microscope? It's tough to forget Andrew Ladd's awful turnover that led to Brad Marchand's equalizer with 5:48 left in the first.
Second Period
Scoreless. And the Jets generate little on their two power-play chances that could have busted open the game. But the signs are significantly better in this period, especially given how sloppy they played against Ottawa.
"We definitely played almost night-and-day compared to the first game at home," said Kane. "Guys are going to continue to get more comfortable with one another."
Third Period / OT / Shootout
The Jets didn't just hang on here for the point, but put their foot on the gas down the stretch to try and get the clean kill. Noel juggled his lines significantly, moving Bryan Little to right wing with Olli Jokinen and Kane, while Nik Antropov moved into the middle between Ladd and Blake Wheeler. In fact, we counted six or seven different combos in the final chunk of the game.
"You have to try to get the lines going," said Noel. "The Little-Wheeler line, I didn't think they were very good. We tried to change some things around a little bit and just move some things."
Expect all that juggling to continue Tuesday in Washington as none -- zero, zip, nada -- of the Jets' top-three lines have yet to find the net.

The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) staff are vital not only to
your infant's health but also to your understanding of your infant's condition.
When you are with your infant's doctor or nurse, ask whatever questions you have about your infant's health and care; the NICU staff
understand that this is all new to you. It's a good idea to keep a running list
of written questions to refer to when you're on the unit.
Expect the NICU to be both a stressful place for you and a stressful
place for the staff to work. Events on the NICU can unfold quickly, and
communication can sometimes suffer. With this in mind, be prepared for any of the following problems:

Hi. I'm seeing different types of "stainless-covered" knives. Sometimes called san mai ( I think this is where the cutting edge and top of spine of carbon blade is exposed. Then sometimes I see the term "clad". Other times it's described as xxxcarbon with damascus, etc. Sometimes I see that the knife consists of a "3-Pc." construction. Sometimes a "folded" construction, etc. etc.I read in a post that some don't care for the san mai construction, but can't seem to find much information concerning the different SS cladding types, which cladding is best, etc.

Space Needle
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Space Needle is an alien spacecraft that landed in Seattle one cold dark rainy morning... which actually does not narrow down the days it could have landed in Seattle very much. After landing everyone gathered around to see what would come out. Obviously these people had never seen the movie War of The Worlds, or they would know never to approach a giant Alien Spacecraft to see what will come out. Luckily for them the Space Needle Aliens did not massacre the Human Race, but rather it was just Leonard Nimoy and Mel Gibson returning from their honeymoon on Uranus. A small parade was thrown and there was cake there. It was Chocolate.
edit The Space Needle TodayToday the Space Needle, or "That weird circle thing with the pointy top" as it is called for short, is a huge tourist attraction for Space Enthusiasts, Racists, Vikings, and more.
In recent years, due to lack of Tribbles and Rubber bands, The Space Needle's Maintenance Engineer, McGuyver, has let the building fall into decay. It will no longer fly, and Anyone who purchased a ticket to ride it to Uranus is out 3.141592654 dollars. Luckily the "Needle Restoration Fund" in Coalition with the People's Front of Judea are working hard to restore full power to the Engines. But without the help of Mr. Scott, this seems unlikely.
edit Run-ins With Darth Vader
Last Year, at approximately 2:47 PM, on a Tuesday, Darth Vader was caught by Space Needle Security trying to break into the Top-Secret, Entirely Classified, Documents of Doom that are held within the No. 3 vault on the lower floor of the Space Needle, right next to the Coca-Cola Vending Machine. The Top-Secret Documents can be easily accessed by sneaking trough the Corner window at 5:23 when the Guard takes his usual Coffee Break. Unfortunately for him, Darth Vader was unaware of how to properly break into the Space Needle. He was Arrested after 3 years in court, and sentenced to Life in Prison; Where he soon broke out using a Stapler and a French Man. He swore he would come back to the Space Needle... but has not been heard of since.
edit Use as a strip pole
Aspiring strippers who wish to make it big in Las Vegas tend to practice their dancing on the space needle. However, any stripper who has done this is usually not hired by dance companies, as only Obese people are capable of actually straddling the massive tower. Many prefer to practice on the Eiffel Tower, which is reportedly much easier to dance on. The fact that the space needle was once a spaceship tends to have negative affects on the strippers. It still can give off radiation, which can either have negative effects on the strippers (i.e. loss of teeth, growth of extra toes) or positive effects (i.e. swelling in the upper-chest area).
edit Torture Device
Recently it's been used as an execution method for capital punishment. Helicopters fly 30 feet over the Space Needle and drop the soon to be deceased right over the needle, causing instant impalement. Eventually since the bodies are left there, causing them to stack up to the top of the needle there will be no more room for new ones so this option will not be given.

Print "Go West", this simple phrase captures a universal longing to leave behind the everyday and set out for parts unknown. 140 years ago, John B. Stetson needed that call and created the classic symbol of the west. Today, the un-bridled individuality of the American Spirit continues to be our constant inspiration. Stetson footwear reflects the same beliefs and traditions that made Stetson a part of America. John B. Stetson started the John B. Stetson Hat Company in 1865 with no mare than $100 and a passion for hats. He rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and launched his dream. Soon after he started his humble company, the famous "Hat of the West" also known as "Boss of the Plains" was born. The rest of the Stetson Hat story is as we say "history." Stetson Hats became a trademark for quality, durability, innovation and beauty. Stetson Hats remain that way today! John B. Stetson had some very tough times in creating Stetson Hats. He was trained by his father who was a master hatter, but making it at the time was difficult. Being a hatter was not held in very high regard and they were seen as unreliable. John B. Stetson changed all that with his line of Stetson Hats. He built one of the most well-known and successful American businesses. Stetson Hats rely on innovation, quality and durability to keep them that way today.

Mobile Search Spend Up: Adobe Digital Index Report
April 30, 2012
We recently revealed the findings of our third Digital Index Report which shows that digital advertising continues its rapid growth across all channels.
Jonathan Beeston, our director for new product innovation, believes that the latest findings indicate social is on the rise and an important channel in the UK, however search is still the key driver of digital marketing ROI. He says: "With the emergence of tablets, mobile creates a new opportunity for search investment with efficiency gains to marketers overall program, at least in the short-term. This is really reflected in the UK with mobile spend now accounting for 11 percent of all search spend."
During Q1 2012 mobile spend on search grew by 250 percent YoY in the UK as traffic on mobile devices, specifically tablets, increased four-fold. Mobile spend now accounts for 11 percent of all search spend in the UK (higher than in the US which accounts for eight percent) while tablets alone assume 4.25 percent of total search spend. Mobile devices and tablets are lower cost channels and ultimately contributed to Google's Cost Per Click (CPC) decline of five percent YoY.
By the end of 2012 it's predicted that tablet and mobile spend will make up 15 to 20 percent of all search spend. Indeed, investments in tablet advertising will grow as the number of users rapidly increases. Conversion rates on mobile devices are comparable to desktop performance even though mobile CPCs are 30 percent lower. Furthermore, current trends indicate that tablets may cannibalise smartphone and desktop search spend as investments continue to shift to tablets.
Another key trend highlighted in the report is the growing spend on social, particularly within Facebook. Indeed, spend on Facebook increased by 93% YOY, which on a relative basis represents 3% to 5% of search spend proving it continues to be a strong market.

NEW YORK (AP) – The New York Mets plan to interview baseball executive Sandy Alderson next week for their vacant general manager position.
The Mets already have said they will interview Rick Hahn, Allard Baird and Josh Byrnes as well.
A Mets spokesman says chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon spoke with Alderson today. The two plan to speak again to set up a meeting.
The 62-year-old Alderson was the Oakland Athletics' GM when they won the World Series in 1989. He currently is in charge of baseball's efforts to reform operations in the Dominican Republic.

Place the mochi in a dry, heated cast iron skillet or heavy stainless steel skillet, cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes on low to medium-low. Flip the mochi, cover and cook another 3 to 4 minutes or until the mochi puffs up.
While the mochi is cooking, heat the syrup in a small pan. Place roasted, ground nuts in a small bowl. When the mochi is done, dip it into the hot syrup, roll it in the nuts and eat while hot.
Variation: Mochi can be baked at 350° for about 10 minutes or until it puffs up instead of pan frying.

- About Plattsburgh
The Center for Earth and Environmental Science at SUNY Plattsburgh is an interdisciplinary unit consisting of geology, geography, environmental science, environmental studies, and ecology programs. With over 200 students and twenty faculty members, CEES offers a great diversity of courses with small class sizes. Ten academic programs within the center integrate courses across the disciplines.
SUNY Plattsburgh established one of the first undergraduate environmental programs in the U.S. We have over 2,500 graduates. Over 60% of our students pursue undergraduate research projects with faculty mentors.
The center provides students with access to state-of-the-art laboratory and field facilities, including:
SUNY Plattsburgh, in cooperation with Clinton Community College and the Rockefeller Institute of Government, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act with a series of lectures and events Sept. 22-27.
The lecture series will feature such speakers as Dave Gibson and Dan Plumley from Adirondack Wild, Chris Maron from Champlain Area Trails, and Tom Butler from the Northeast Wilderness Trust giving the keynote address. Documentaries such as the award-winning "Forever Wild," and "The Resilient Ones: A Generation Takes on Climate Change" and a visit to Twin Valleys Outdoor Education and Recreation Center in Lewis, NY with outdoor guide and wilderness advocate Elizabeth Lee are also on the agenda.
"And although the 'Resilient Ones' is not necessarily Wilderness-themed, it will touch on some more contemporary threats to our local, regional and global environment. To my knowledge, this will be one of the first showings of this film about how young people can make a lasting impact on our climate."
Rugar Woods is located on the Saranac River side of campus. The woods feature research areas, wildlife viewing points and recreational trails. View the Rugar Woods map at full size.
