The Black is Beautiful
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison, in Western Colorado, has been variously described as "a rocky, forbidding hole" (San Juan Mountaineers Guide to Southwestern Colorado, 1932), "a place of primordial wonder" (Black Canyon Rock Climbs, 2002) and "an incredible resource" by Josh Wharton in his essay here. With the passage of time the descriptions have become rosier, but, as the longtime activist Leonard Coyne points out in his retrospective about his 28-year bid to free Air City (V 5.12), the canyon itself hasn't changed one iota.
The Black Canyon, carved by the Gunnison River, is home to the tallest sheer walls in Colorado. The Painted Wall, first climbed in 1972 by Bill Forrest and Kris Walker, is 2,250 feet high. Only El Capitan and Utah's Notch Peak are taller. The 1,500-foot North Chasm View Wall offers some of the canyon's best rock quality and easy access to moderate classics like the Scenic Cruise (V 5.10+) and Journey Home (IV 5.10-).
Despite having some of the best big wall routes in the United States, the Black has retained a fierce reputation for epic descents, loose rock and runout climbing. In some cases, this rep is warranted, but a growing number of climbers are checking out the Black these days and coming back with glowing reviews. The classic lines have cleaned up and, as skills and gear have evolved, new classics are being opened by protagonists honed on sport and hard trad climbs, looking for adventure in a big and mentally challenging arena.
The following essays recount the recent efforts of two of these first ascentionists who stand at the vanguard of the Black's modern renaissance.
You could say I've been trying to free climb Air City for the last 28 years. This climb, located on North Chasm View Wall in Colorado's Black Canyon, had been the stuff of campfire legend among the Colorado Springs climbing fraternity ever since Harvey Miller and Steve Hong put it up in the early 1970s. Their ascent, even with some aid, was ahead of its time. Tales of Steve chipping the side of an expanding flake to hang hooks and a monster 40-foot roof that trapped the duo overnight only a few hundred feet from the canyon rim had deterred other ascents.

Tales of Steve chipping the side of an expanding flake to hang hooks and a monster 40-foot roof that trapped the duo overnight only a few hundred feet from the canyon rim had deterred other ascents.
Ed Russell and I did our best to ignore the crippling vibe, however, and in the fall of 1977 we shouldered our single rope, rack of hexes, Stoppers and a few tube chocks. Starting up the Diagonal slabs we hit the first real climbing, several moderate and intricate "old school" pitches to the start of the corner system that comprised the center of the climb. Things were going well until the "Black Phenomenon" hit. Suddenly it was dusk, the rock had turned to crap and you could cut the tension in the air with a karate chop. A light drizzle started pissing down. We were also confronted with an extremely dangerous pitch, a hard 5.11 that linked to the 40-foot Air City roof. It soon became obvious that we weren't going to get anywhere near the daunting roof, so we elected to link over to the neighboring Eighth Voyage to escape. I headed right and started laybacking up a car-sized sickle of rock wedged in an offwidth. As I climbed higher the sharp flake began leveraging out of the OW. The fact that it was nearly dark didn't help. I scurried down to a good piece, then lowered to Ed.
It gets bloody cold in the Black at night. We could see the rim and the silhouettes of some tourists looking over. "Are you planning on having a fire down there?" they asked. We yelled a curt "No!" and they disappeared.
We rapped to the canyon floor the next morning, sacrificing most of our rack.
I returned to the Black in the spring of 1978, this time with Bryan Becker, and rapped down to the sickle. Tying a few slings to my trusty Chouinard hammer, I latched the loose flake and pulled. The sickle broke free and whistled all the way to the canyon floor. The resulting explosion and spray of debris reminded me of my father's photos of the allied bombing of Berlin. Friends of mine on the Painted Wall two miles downstream told me they heard it. The smell of ozone rising from the canyon's depths was pleasantly intoxicating.

Friends of mine on the Painted Wall two miles downstream told me they heard it. The smell of ozone rising from the canyon's depths was pleasantly intoxicating.
Maintenance done, Brian and I headed into the canyon and started up Air City. Before we even arrived at the Sickle Pitch, Brian pulled up on a large chockstone and nearly killed himself flipping backwards as the refrigerator block rolled over him. Surprisingly, his injuries were minor enough that he could continue climbing. The Sickle Pitch went well without the offending menace—pleasant but difficult at solid 5.11. We headed right towards Eighth Voyage on a fortuitous and improbable two-foot-wide shelf similar to Thank God Ledge on the Northwest Face of Half Dome. At the end of this ledge we were confronted by what Layton Kor had described as a "bad width crack," a leaning, overhanging offwidth of the worst size: loose chicken wings and chest jams.
The sun was baking and 10 feet up the pitch, I was scared and about to pass out from the heat. Coming to my senses I slithered down to the ledge and drank our last sip of water (NEVER carry enough water in the Black Canyon—a tradition that adds to the adventure!). At least it wasn't dark yet, but damn, it was an inferno on the dark rock in the sun! Bryan and I sat there pondering our options when Ken Simms' head popped over the rim.
"Kenny, Kenny, throw us a rope and some jugs!" I shouted. Ken, one of my best friends, trotted back to camp and returned with the requested rescue cache. Fortunately, the wall was not too overhanging and we retrieved the gear with little ado.
Success in the Black Canyon is often measured in terms of escape. If you don't die, you've succeeded.
Months later I came back with Ken, whose interest had been piqued by the rescue. We got to the base of the bad width crack and I started up. This was before large cams and we had to rely on tube chocks, which were less than inspiring in the parallel crack. I resorted to hammering on a tube with my fist for several minutes in an attempt to better secure it. Eventually, with one huge "umph" I pulled through the worst of it and smooth sailing ensued to the rim. Air Voyage, as we named this climb was a great adventure, but not what I'd hoped for. The top seven pitches of Air City still remained.Decades went by and my interest in climbing waned as I unconsciously fell into the cesspit of the Great American Dream. Still, Air City loomed in the back of my mind. In 2006, Mick Haffner, one of England's top climbers, approached me in the Blackheath Pub, a climber's haunt in Australia's Blue Mountains, with the proposition of heading stateside for a trip to the Black Canyon. As we were swilling pints, celebrating Mick's 50th birthday, I couldn't refuse.
Months later, Mick and I boarded a plane for our trip over the big pond. Mick had brought along a third companion in the form of a hideous virus, to which he graciously introduced me on the flight. We arrived in the States sick as dogs and spent days recuperating at my sister's house in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Once we got healthy, we did a number of warm-up routes in the Black (good first ascents in their own right), and Mick and I felt ready to give Air City a serious go. The first several pitches of familiar climbing went quickly, but the first big roof was a different proposition. After some horrendously difficult climbing in a thin dihedral protected with copper heads and the occasional Stopper, we were confronted by a 30-foot version of El Cap's Great Roof. Having neither the finger size nor climbing ability of Lynn Hill, we prudently bailed. Heading down, Mick spied an improbable face that would circumvent the roof. Hmm, I thought, just might go.
We headed to Moab for R and R. After a couple of days, I was ready to return to the route we would soon name 827-GO, but scraping Mick off the drunken underbelly of Moab proved easier said than done. The difficult mission of retrieving Mick finally accomplished, we crossed the state border and rapped to our high point. The face proved much scarier than the Great Roof, requiring pins, copperheads and other jiggery pokery, but at least it was climbable. Leading out, I was surprised to find the pitch equipped with numerous copperheads, some in situ and others lying about on little edges, having dropped out of their naturally expanding placements. The occasional TCU provided a decent piece here and there keeping the pitch from being a total death fest. We discovered later that this pitch is part of the Jim Beyer aid route Black Planet and is rated A4.
I was nearly at the end of the rope when a hold snapped and sent me flying. Head after head popped and I wondered if I was ever going to stop. After 50 feet, the rope came taut. Mick looked across at me like a stunned mullet. Twelve ripped heads, a few TCU's and a RURP hung from my rope.
A few hundred feet higher we met The Serrator, an overhanging, expanding flake with a perfect hand crack behind it. I remembered the stories of Steve Hong chipping the edge of this flake for hooks, but The Serrator proved more tenable when armed with a big rack of Friends. In fact, it was absolutely gob-smacking—overhanging 100 degrees and ending in a 30-foot rail traverse.
We found ourselves hanging in slings beneath a downward sloping 20-foot roof where Steve and Harvey had bivied back in the 1970s on the first ascent. Out of water and dead-ended by this beast, I can imagine the trepidation they felt that night. They rated the roof A4, and with the gear of the day it surely was.
The offwidth portion of the pitch looked vaguely climbable, but the rest appeared impossible. Mick reckoned we should give it a go anyhow so he headed out with a #6 Camalot, sent the offwidth and promptly jumped off. The big cam ripped and he factor-two'd onto my belay. Then the cam slipped down the rope and slapped him in the face, followed by a pancake-sized flake, which broke over his head.
We traded ends and I headed up and out with a distinct lack of confidence, but surprisingly found myself at the end of the offwidth section in no time.
"Stick your head inside there and hang off it!" Mick shouted.
"No way!"
"Go on, or maybe try your left foot."
I reluctantly heeded Mick's advice and after much fiddling found a heel-toe combo. Hanging upside down a thousand feet over the river I shouted, "Mick, check this out!"
"Probably feel better if you used your head," he retorted. "Aren't you getting dizzy?"
Hanging upside down in the most exposed position in the Black was dizzying, but it provided an ideal position to scope the roof. It didn't look good—another eight feet or so to the lip with nothing but an RP-sized crack in a large flake that blocked the offwidth.
"This isn't going to go free."
"Oh, it might. Can't you use those slopers and hook out to the lip?"
Mick is the consummate back-seat climber, but his advice had been spot on thus far. Difficult heel hooking took me to a point where I could dyno for the lip and hit … a jug! I found myself swinging free, a thousand or so feet up and actually feeling good about it. I manteled and scrambled to a stance.
"Off belay!" I shouted.
I reeled in 10 feet of rope as Mick moved out, then nothing. I assumed he was contemplating the exit gymnastics. After another 10 minutes I gave him a shout. A gurgled, unintelligible reply echoed up. Several more minutes passed with no action. Suddenly I heard a blood-curdling scream and immediately locked the belay thinking Mick had fallen. Hearing another scream (something about a rope) I realized Mick hadn't fallen so I reeled in slack. A bloodied Mick appeared at the lip. The right side of his head was badly lacerated and he had a hole in his ear. His headlamp was securely affixed to his nose.
I had to laugh.
"My head got stuck in the bloody thing!" Mick replied.
As always in the Black Canyon, it was dusk bordering on dark and we had no idea where to go. Another roof loomed overhead. Despite his disfigurement, Mick headed straight up. Not even stopping to place gear, he pulled the roof and landed on the first ledge we'd seen in a while.
"That was a bit game!" I said at the top, surprised at the difficulty, and that Mick had not placed a single piece.
"It's about time one of us leads a pitch in proper style," he said.
Mick passed me the headlamp and I wandered through vague but easy climbing. Suddenly it was over—20-odd years after it first began. Rather anticlimactic, all said and done. We stumbled back to camp and quaffed a gallon of water quickly followed by a celebratory beer. It was long past dark, we were tired and hungry, and the campground was as empty as a tomb. Same as it ever was.
Leonard Coyne has climbed in the Black Canyon and Desert Southwest for 35 years.
The one thing that really pisses me off about the Black is the damn pricker bushes." I said, expecting some sort of consolation.
Mike Pennings grinned, his head half-hidden by the thorny Jurassic-era plants. "I kind of like 'em," he said. "They add character."
'Psychotic' came to mind as I absorbed Mike's comment, but the rare few who actually love climbing in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the infamous granite gash in Western Colorado, enjoy even the area's worst climbs.
We had just bailed from our first attempt on the Black Sheep, and so far, the line was phenomenal. Three rope-stretching pitches of thin fingers in a corner, delicate stemming, and a long splitter that faded into crisp edges—brilliant! Unfortunately, our try ended abruptly at a bulging and seemingly blank wall. Mike and I placed a couple of bolts before we retreated.
Over the next few years we slowly added bolts over a series of ground-up attempts to the steep bulge and the upper slab. We were skeptical that the blank section of the route could be free climbed, but the climbing below was so good that we decided the route was worth the effort even if the end result had 40 feet of A0. In the spring of 2007, Mike finally drilled the last bolt in the headwall and pulled over onto the slabby face above it. It looked as if more bolts were necessary on the upper face, so Mike and I retreated yet again. I had to wonder if the arduous hand-drilling was worth it.
Since the late 1970s, Black Canyon free climbing has lagged behind places like Yosemite. Its adventurous reputation, traditional ethic and scruffy, relatively featured rock have kept the emphasis on boldness rather than hard moves. In the Black, the hardest routes aren't necessarily the climbs with the biggest grades, but rather those that demand the widest skill set. Despite its modest grade of 5.11+, Jeff Achey and Kennan Harvey's free ascent of The Serpent, completed in impressive onsight ground-up style in 1999, was the Black Canyon testpiece until only recently.
However, this trend has started to change in the last ten years. Technical difficulties have begun to creep upward as climbers have sought out thinner, more demanding lines. The inspired first "free" ascent of the Hallucinogen Wall (sadly overshadowed by the controversial use of ice tools to "free" a steep rivet ladder) by Jared Ogden and Ryan Nelson demonstrated the Black's potential for climbs with high technical standards in dangerous situations. A ground-up, free ascent of the Hallucinogen remains one of the Canyon's greatest challenges.
The best routes in the Canyon are often the hardest, away from the large choss and vegetation-choked features that often plague easier climbs. Up until the late 1990s, the Black Canyon was a National Monument (not yet a Park), and although it was not the norm, climbers sometimes used power drills to establish routes on these steep, clean and difficult faces. This tactic produced routes like Apparition (IV 5.12c R), Qualgeist (IV 5.12b) and the Free Nose (V 5.12). First ascentionists of these climbs inspected all, or part, of the route on rappel, perhaps placed a few anchors, then returned to bolt pitches on lead.
This hybrid style made sense in a place where throwing a rope off the rim is a two-minute walk from the car. Bolting on lead kept climbs adventurous and sparsely protected, preserving the feeling of seriousness and commitment that is distinctive to Black Canyon climbing. When the Black recently became a National Park, power drills were banned, and the prospect of a first ascent on a wall without continuous cracks instantly became more daunting.
A few climbers, however, have not shied away from seeking out hard lines. Kent Wheeler, Jonny Copp, Zack Smith and particularly Leonard Coyne have established difficult new routes. Jared Ogden and Topher Donahue have been especially driven, opening some of the Canyon's best lines: Tague Yer Time, Shadowboxing and Blacksmiths often link small incipient features with the occasional stretch of bolt-protected face climbing. Tague Yer Time, for instance, is one of the preeminent long 5.12s in the country, with elegant stemming, and thin-crack climbing that rivals Romantic Warrior (5.12c) in the Needles and the Rainbow Wall (5.12b) at Red Rock.
A week after Mike and I reached the slab, I gave in to the temptation to rap our route to see if continuing was worth the effort. I was delighted by what I found. A wandering face pitch gained a series of small corners and overlaps. A few more bolts and we would be finished with the drilling.

I called Mike to report this good news and we quickly hatched plans to get back to work. I invited my strong young roommate Jed Wareham-Morris along, hopeful that he might shed some light on the troubling stretch of AO. We laughed and bumbled our way up the initial pitches, battling a hard stemming corner drenched by a few inches of fresh snow. At our high point, I cast off into wandering face climbing above.
With no opportunities for natural protection I was forced to drill two bolts to protect the first 40 feet of the pitch. My slow hand–drilling gave Jed and Mike the opportunity to tie me off at the belay, and take turns lowering into the problematic headwall on toprope. Too impatient to drill a third bolt, I placed a hook on a flake and ran it out to a natural belay. The pitch was a great complement to the steep, sport-like crux pitch: teetering slab moves on small face holds and slightly loose pegmatite, with significant run-outs on insecure 5.10—quintessential old-school Black.
Hanging at the end of pitch five, I heard Jed's grunts and shouts as he wrestled with the steep bulge.
"See? I told you it's 5.15c!" I yelled, delighted by throwing outrageous ratings at Jed, knowing that he'd try to show me that, "It's not that hard!" It worked, because Jed did his best to prove me wrong. Mike lowered into the difficult stretch as well, and after a couple hours of burns, both Jed and Mike agreed that the 40 feet of slightly bulging granite was very hard, but possible. We finished the remaining pitches to the rim, and Mike dubbed the climb the Black Sheep.
On the drive home, Jed and I spewed beta back and forth, excited about the potential of freeing the route's last remaining aid. Mike looked blue in the face and was ready to vomit after listening to our incessant spray. Mike is one of the best all-around climbers I know, with badass climbs all over the world under his belt. He always makes climbing look easy and fun, laughing and smiling even in the grimmest situations. Yet when it comes to high-end climbing, with lots of hanging around and fiddling with beta, Mike would rather chase down another adventure. Ordinarily I'd agree, especially in the Black, but the quality of the Black Sheep made me want to take an extra step.
With the crux pitch halfway down an 1,800-foot wall, it was a major effort to access the route from above, but after two solo missions from the rim, and several hours of working on the crux moves, I finally started feeling like I had a chance with this crazy section of technical knee scums and big moves between small holds. The experience was increasing my already huge respect for climbers like Tommy Caldwell and Justen Sjong, who have redpointed many difficult El Cap walls. My free-climbing abilities pale in comparison, and it became clear why most people free-climbing 5.13 big walls regularly climb 5.14 sport routes. Climbing at the upper end of your ability on a big cliff is a lot of work.
I was, however, learning. As I worked the climb through May, I discovered new tricks like bringing extra shoes, the tightest I could squeeze into, to stand on tiny holds. I employed a special kneepad made for the technical kneebarring on the pitch, and made incremental improvements to my beta. The process was frustrating but rewarding. The time and energy invested by me and my partners—people like Jed, Chris Goplerud and Allan Porter—made each attempt feel important and more attractive than any sport-climbing project.
Finally, on the last day of May, Jason Nelson joined me for a last attempt before the summer heat set in. The temperatures were relatively cool; Jason and I were having fun and I felt strong. After botching my first attempt, I lowered, pulled myself together and redpointed the crux pitch. We cruised the remaining 600 feet to the rim, and the Black Sheep was finally free.
Ordinarily, when I finish a project I immediately look toward the next one. In the past only big mountain routes had given me the kind of multi-facetted experience that leaves a lasting impression. But this route was different. For the first time a rock climb left me satisfied. The help and generosity of friends, my partnership with Mike, a beautiful route in a special setting, all came together to form a memorable experience.
Despite some climbers' hope that the Black remains an obscure, rarely visited area, I hope the opposite. I hope more people will realize what an incredible resource the canyon is, and begin to venture off the well-trod routes, and onto the lesser known gems. I hope someone will onsight the Black Sheep and the Hallucinogen, and that another motivated team will pick up the reins when Jared and Topher leave off.
Josh Wharton has climbed more than 70 routes in the Black Canyon, but still hates thorn bushes.
The Black Canyon isn't a haven for moderates. The best climbs start at 5.10 and the easier routes tend to be ledgy, choss-choked, bush-wrangling affairs that have added to the Canyon's dismal reputation. The classics, however, are good, and even the pickiest rock snob is unlikely to be disappointed by routes such as Maiden Voyage (III 5.9), Escape Artist (III 5.10- or 5.11-), Comic Relief (III 5.10 or 5.11-), Journey Home (IV 5.10-), and The Scenic Cruise (V 5.10+), all offer high quality climbing and tastes of Black adventure. But for those looking for moderate gems away from the crowds here are my top five recommendations.
Tourist Route (IV 5.9 R): Located in the lower reaches of the Fisherman's Gully, this climb serves up a long day of quality, spicy face climbing broken up by comfortable ledges. The featured, climbable nature of the wall means you'll never have to worry about following your topo—you'll always be lost!
Moveable Stoned Voyage (IV 510): Great crack climbing that takes you up into the biggest, steepest section of the North Chasm View Wall at an improbable grade.
Great White Wall (IV 5.10+): The Tourist Route's big brother, with intricate face climbing on a steeper section of the same cliff. A topo will come in handy; a wrong turn could lead you into the late Cameron Tague's fantastic, but serious, Tufnell-Mcgee (5.11+ R).
Southern Arete (V 5.10+): A proper Black Canyon adventure, with over 2,000 feet of climbing on the mighty Painted Wall's left flank. Some incredible hand and finger cracks high on the wall make the early groveling worthwhile.
Atlantis (V 5.11-): One of the best new routes in the Black, and perhaps the best route of its grade in the Canyon. Head down the Prisoner of Your Haido Gully all the way to the river, and delight in loads of high quality enjoyable climbing, with short lived cruxes that take the bite out of the route's grade. Topo available at the North Rim Ranger Station.

Ribbons colors of the Italian flag. Organic spinach Green, organic grain White, and organic beet Red. The colors brighten when cooked. Each color is separately made. Artisan crafted at the Eden Organic Pasta Company on vintage Italian equipment and slowly air dried. Dough is rolled and folded over on itself eight times creating splendid texture. Provides healthy fiber, protein, thiamin B1, and magnesium. Enjoy with a light sauce, pesto, vegetables, or in stroganoffs, salads, and soups. Packaged in a reclosable, recycled and recyclable box with a tasty recipe and its photo on the back.
Eden Organic Vegetable Ribbons are small batch hand crafted at the Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark employing traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923, and the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic.
Golden Amber Durum Triticum aestivum is the most sought after pasta making grain in the World favored for its excellent nutrition and its ability to create smooth firm texture. This grain is USA high plains grown on family farms committed to building vital soil, cleansing the environment, and producing the safest most nutritious food.
Golden Amber Durum wheat is freshly ground into semolina at a certified organic mill. The flour is slowly, thoroughly kneaded with pure water and (in alternating batches) organic beet or organic spinach. To form ribbons the dough goes through a series of rollers that repeatedly fold the dough over itself, a process called laminating. After the sheet of dough has been laminated eight times (creating light and even texture) it is fed between stainless steel cutters to form the desired width and cut to length. The pasta goes through an initial hot air steam dryer to reduce moisture slowly, then to the drying room for about 16 hours. When finished perfectly, each of the three colors is mixed together and packaged. A celebration of grain and vegetables. The pasta is packaged in a reclosable box, with a delicious recipe and photo from Eden's kitchen printed on the back.
All Eden Organic Pasta is packaged in boxes made from recycled and recyclable paperboard, one of the most environmentally friendly packages available. According to the 100 percent Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100.com), "Fourteen trees are saved for each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard. Trees are critical to the sequestration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) in North America. For each ton of paperboard converted to 100 percent recycled paperboard, an equal amount of recovered fiber has been diverted from municipal landfills. Production of 100 percent recycled paperboard uses 50 percent less energy compared to virgin grades of paperboard, thus significantly reducing the greenhouse gases released into the environment."
According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Vegetable Ribbons are low in fat and a good source of dietary fiber. Also, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Organic Vegetable Ribbons are made without salt and are sodium free. They are also a good source of protein, thiamin (vitamin B1), phosphorus, and magnesium.
Commercial pasta is made from highly refined, chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through Teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, poor cooking quality, and questionable value.
Eden Organic Vegetable Ribbons are a convenient way to enjoy the goodness of grain - as the foundation of a healthy diet, providing energy, balance, and well being. Please try our Miso Pesto Pasta in the recipe section.

So happy for Rob. I'm sure he's only playing because Martin is out, but he proved he could indeed play. Even played the 2, so that's good for his career too.
go to about 5:41 in the presser video. watch AJ lol.
I don't really care how we've been playing, I love being a Boiler. E'Twaun is great guy.
http://www.nba.com/magic/#/story/new...ents-new-houseORLANDO – E'Twaun Moore has been a NBA point guard for three seasons, but the biggest assist of his life actually came far away from the court this past summer.
Following last NBA season, when he was back home in the same gritty, crime-riddled Guthrie Street neighborhood that he grew up in in East Chicago, Indiana, Moore was able to present his parents with the keys to a new home. The house was physically just 20 minutes away to the suburbs on the Indiana side of the border town, but it might as well have been a world away considering the bleakness that Ezell and Edna Moore were escaping. For more than 30 years, the family had somehow survived a place where gangs, drugs and violent incidents usually outnumber belief, hope and promise.
What was also significant to Moore – a talented guard for the Orlando Magic – was that this would be the first time that anyone in his family had actually lived in a house. Before, the family had only lived in what he called ``the projects'' as they bounced around various apartments. Why, even when Moore made it to the NBA – first with the Boston Celtics and currently with the Magic – he had lived only in apartments because, quite frankly, that's all he had known his whole life.
The new house is brilliant, Moore said, what with its four bedrooms and four levels and is complete with a ``mancave'' where E'Twaun, his dad and his older brother can now retreat to for hours of shooting pool.
The details of the dwelling pale in comparison to the fact that the family is simply in a house for the first time ever. Knowing that his mother and father are able to look out the windows and see green grass and not fear for their surroundings, the magnitude of that moment hit Moore hard. Hidden where no one could see, Moore was overwhelmed with emotion.
``It was so gratifying,'' Moore said proudly. ``Inside it was really emotional for me, but I didn't let them see that. Just to know deep down that I was able to make it out of the 'hood and be a successful young man and do something for my parents it was amazing. Really, I was able to do something that a lot of people in that situation are never able to do and I'm proud of that.''
Moore, a soft-spoken, mild-mannered type who coaches love because of his blend of toughness and professionalism, has plenty to be proud of this season with the Magic. Quietly, he's been one of the most consistent players off the bench for Orlando and he's played a big role in the Magic winning three big games early in the season. His finest moment came last week in the team's signature defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers when Moore buried two fourth-quarter 3-pointers to spur the Magic onto victory.
Moore's numbers – 7.9 points per game, 1.5 assists and 1.4 rebounds – aren't particularly flashy, but Magic coach Jacque Vaughn and veteran captain Jameer Nelson shudder to think where they would be without him. Because Moore can play both guard spots, he is key is helping ease the NBA transition of rookie Victor Oladipo and also to give Nelson some rest. And the Magic don't mind one bit if the ball finds Moore late in games because of his fearlessness when it comes to taking and making big shots.
``E. is a big part of our team,'' Nelson said. ``He is a good shooter, he plays well without the ball and he can handle it, too. He made big shots for us (versus the Clippers). We like to feed off one another when we are out there in different lineups and in different situations.''
Added Vaughn, who often uses Moore in a utility role because of his versatility: ``I tell the guys every day that a coach wants to be able to look at to the bench and have guys down there that he can trust, believe in and know what they are going to give him on a nightly basis. (Moore) is that guy who is gaining the trust of his teammates and definitely with his coaching staff. His ability to be tough, guard multiple spots for us and just make shots is big. And at the end of the day, he competes and that's the bottom line.''
Moore, 24, had no choice but be tough considering the difficult circumstances that he grew up in just nine miles from Gary, Ind., and 35 miles southeast of Chicago. Dad, Ezell, worked as a mover for a furniture company, while mom, Edna, was a preschool teacher, and they provided a safe environment for E'Twaun – the youngest of three children – as long he was inside the four walls of their apartment.
Outside the apartment is where the chaos of gangs, drugs and gunfire was never far away. One of his closest friends, Dante Brown, was killed when Moore was a teenager, as was another relative, incidents that scared him straight. Brown was as good or better a basketball player, Moore said, and had they made it out of the neighborhood together they both could be in the NBA today.
Moore always had two watchful parents who raised him with tough love and discipline. Looking back, Moore said he didn't always understand their methods at the time, but they just might have saved him from the streets.
``When I was younger, I'd have to come in (the family's apartment) as soon as those street lights came on,'' Moore said with a chuckle. ``My friends would be able to hang out until 12 (A.M.) and I would wonder why I had to be in the house by 9 (P.M.)? But my parents always told me, `We want to know that you are fine. We want to know that you are safe.' Of course, I always fought it and wanted to hang out with my friends, but my parents were there for me and kept me grounded.'' And, of course, there was always basketball to guide Moore and keep his mind occupied. He was a regular on the asphalt courts just outside his apartment, shooting a pock-marked ball through chain nets and a double rim. Often he'd be out there playing for hours against ``grown folks'' when he was just 12 years old.
Playing against bigger, stronger and older men is where Moore learned the high-arching jump shot from the corner and his teardrop floater in the lane. It also taught him to pick himself up when he gets knocked down, fear no man and fear no shot late in games with the balance hanging in doubt.
``That definitely made me a lot tougher and not scared of anything,'' Moore said proudly. ``After growing up in that, my approach has always been that if I can make it through that I can make it through anything. I've never been scared once playing basketball because it's only a game.''
Moore got a glimpse of what a powerful force basketball could be in his life in 2007 when he faced off against Indiana's Mr. Basketball, Eric Gordon, in the Class 4A state championship game. At the time, Gordon was considered the top guard in the country, but it was Moore who poured in 28 points to help his Central High team pull off the shocking upset in the state title game. Moore said while he was growing up not once did he think that basketball could help him get to college or even to the NBA. He just played because he loved the sport and it beat the alternative of getting mixed up in the violence surrounding him. Looking back, Moore admits that basketball likely saved his life.
``My neighborhood was really tough with a lot of violence, drugs and gangs. I was able to stay away from it because of my household, my parents and my brother and sister. That and basketball, of course – those things kept me straight. My parents stayed on my tail and basketball kept me busy,'' he said candidly. ``Basketball definitely saved me. I had best friends and family members who died in the streets, so definitely basketball saved me.''
At Purdue, Moore became just the third player in Big Ten history to tally at least 2,000 points (2,136), 500 rebounds (611), and 400 assists (400) in a career, joining among others Michigan State star Steve Smith.
A rarity as a NBA prospect who was a college senior, Moore was a second-round pick of the Celtics in 2011. He stuck with Boston because coach Doc Rivers loved his grit and versatility. As fate would have it, the best game of his rookie season was a 16-point, four 3-pointer performance against the Magic in January of 2012.
Moore signed with Orlando prior to last summer and was a key cog in the Magic offense until last January when he dived for a ball and a Washington player landed on his arm. The hit hyper-extended his elbow and sent the confidence in his shooting stroke into a tailspin.
``That was a bad injury,'' he said, shaking his head some 11 months later. ``That one really messed me up.''
`My way of giving back'
Not long after the Magic picked up the option on the 6-foot-4, 190-pounder's contract, ensuring him a second season in Orlando, Moore began the process of securing the new house for his parents. Deep down, he knew there might be resistance from his parents even though they lived near a place akin to a warzone during dark times. After all, Moore said wistfully, it was the only life that the family really had ever known.
``They knew about the new house the whole time. I didn't surprise them and I let them knew because that (apartment complex) was still their home that they were moving out of,'' Moore said. ``It was still kind of tough for them to move because they were so comfortable being in one area for so long. Sometimes making that change is tough. I had to kind of force them to move to the new house.''
Moore sold the idea of the new house to his parents as a way for him to finally give back to them for all of the support that they had offered through the years. Even today, Moore's mom and dad, older brother (Ezell Jr.) and sister (Ekeisha) drive to Magic games in Indiana, Chicago, Detroit and Milwaukee to cheer him on.
Just like when his parents required him to be in the apartment as soon as the street lights came on at night during his teen years, Moore wanted the peace of mind of knowing that his mom and dad were ``fine'' and ``that they are safe.''
And when the family spent that night together in the house that was their own for the first time, Moore marveled at how he was able to make such an impactful difference. It moved him, even if he didn't let anybody see it.
``I didn't literally cry, but it was just a warm feeling inside to do something for them,'' he remembered. ``Without my family I wouldn't have been able to make it to where I am today. This is my way of giving back and giving them anything that they need.''
offensive extravaganza!
i think henry just made 3 tackles in a row
yep, football still sucks. so to brighten the mood I present you perhaps the greatest photo of all time
Ha I just saw that too.
Defense still blows, but I think Etling showed signs of life at least.
is that dave chapelle?
Yup, from Robs instagram.
Also, in response to the tornado warnings in the Midwest:
"As long as you go to Ross-Ade stadium during the storm, you should be safe. No touchdowns there."
damn, dave's been working out
I'll talk about the Rider win later, but we just got AJ's replacement. Isaac Haas, big 7'2 4 star kid from Alabama. Had committed to Wake Forest but changed his mind on signing day. Really good news, really needed some size going forward.
Hadn't heard he committed, very cool. If he's got a motor we will be set.
He lives in a really tiny town, he's their first D1 player ever, usually plays guys a foot shorter. Would be nice if went to a prep school for a senior year.
Wonder what his wingspan is?
Probably a 4 year player which is good. Hammons probably gone this year or next.
Yeah. It's not gonna be fun trying to shut down Marcus Smart in a week or so.
I know it's just 3-0 against bad teams, but I'm super excited. Every win matters. If we can get 19 wins with few signature wins mixed in, we knight be dancing. BOILER UP! Let's get this one with ease tonight fellas!
I think it will be fun. We're gonna see what this squad is made of. Hopefully they're undefeated up to that point. It won't be a bad loss unless we get trucked by 25+.
OSU just trucked a supposedly very good Memphis team
I saw that. Smart had a career high.
Painter makes 2+ mil a year at a major public Indiana university. 20+ wins and the tournament should absolutely be expected every year, at absolute minimum. That's why last year was so awful. It isn't that hard to win 20 games anymore either, not the way most coaches schedule in the non-con.
Soooo Dorien Bryant's gay. Said he had teammates that would go to bed with a guy. That's him alleging, not witnessing.
That's whatever, nobody cares that he's gay. But he seems like a pretty big douchebag.

As the sun sets on the day of love—better known as Thursday, Oct. 29—men and women file into The Ark, a bookstore specializing in crystals, tarot cards, world music and New Age tracts.
If some cosmic accident brought Sarah Palin through its doors, she would probably burst into flames. The magazine rack alone could boil her blood; it's stocked with titles like EnlightenNext, Sedona Journal of Emergence! and UFO Magazine's "deep summer reading issue," which addresses the day's rather urgent topic: "With less than 30 months to go, is our civilization on the brink of doom?"
To be precise, there are 1,149 days until Dec. 21, 2012, when something will—nay, must—happen. It won't be the end of the world but, if it is, SFR regrets the error.
Two of The Ark's best sellers concern this purportedly fateful date. But the popularity of 2012 theories in Santa Fe is a miniscule measure of this cultural virus. More contagious than swine flu, an obscure obsession with the ancient Mayan calendar spread from amateur archaeologists to New Agers and survivalists to the peak of pop culture with last week's release of a $200 million Hollywood destruction fantasy.
So it is that on this day of love approximately 30 Santa Feans afflicted with the 2012 bug have come to hear from a speaker who claims first-hand knowledge of Mayan traditions. They sit quietly facing the guest of honor, Lina Barrios, a middle-aged woman from Guatemala who dresses in colorful Mayan garb. She stands in front of a table displaying the latest work by her brother, Carlos: The Book of Destiny. It is one of more than 500 such books; 2012 is the only year besides Y2K with its own entry in the Library of Congress' catalog. Barrios' book, endorsed by something called the "Council of Mayan Elders," contains useful info such as the Mayan sign under which Bob Dylan was born.
First, the good news: "2012 is not a date of destruction," Lina Barrios says. Rather, it will mark the start of a new astrological cycle, one that will usher in humanity's return to nature.
Barrios belongs to a camp that believes the end of the current 5,125-year Mayan calendar cycle will accompany a planet-changing wave of energy. In this subset of the Mayaphile subculture, some see the beginning of new religious movements akin to Mormonism or Scientology. For this group, 2012 is to be welcomed—much like Barack Obama's presidency, which Barrios says was foretold by the ancients.
Depending on one's preferred reality, come 2012, either the stars will choose the next president or the voters will. For the growing numbers who trust anonymous bloggers more than silver-haired CNN anchors, an election is the least important thing 2012 will bring. After all, what is a little campaign next to mass extinction? In a country where polls say 1 in 3 people believes his or her chosen scripture is the "Word of God to be taken literally, word for word," and another one-third believes the federal government participated in the 9.11 attacks, beliefs in ancient prophecy and apocalypse can't be dismissed as "fringe." A YouTube series purporting to expose NASA's cover-up of the cataclysmic arrival of "Planet X" two years from now has been viewed more than 1 million times.
However divergent these visions of the near future may seem, they share a common cause and a common outcome. All feed a cottage industry, whether in solar-flare survival kits or aura readings or popcorn entertainment. More importantly, all are rooted in overwhelming public dissatisfaction with the present.

Jared Wade: Paul George�s Great Passing Against the Blazers
I�ve mentioned a few times that last night�s win over the Portland Trailblazers might
have been the best passing game I�ve seen Paul George ever have. Some
The first three dishes shown are obviously excellent: the rise to shoot then dish to
George Hill at the rim; the two-handed overhead bounce pass to a cutting Ian
Mahinmi; the over-the-top entry to David West. Each led directly to an easy two
The others are a little more subtle but also help illustrate his growth as a decision
maker. Because that is often what is more important as a passer than anything. We
oooh and aaahhh at the the highlight assists (like the one George threw to Mahinmi),
but even if you�re Jason Kidd, those types of finishes are few and far between. What
is more important is consistently making the right read and furthering the offense�s
advantage over the defense.
That�s what we see in the rest of the video. Some of George�s passes don�t even
lead to made buckets. But they all show the decisiveness that he plays with at his
best. It�s all instinctual. There is no dilly-dallying. He just sees a teammate who is
in a position to exploit the opponent and delivers a quick, accurate pass that allows
his teammate to get off a good shot.
The second-to-last dish (at the 1:13 mark) is the best illustration of Paul�s growth as
a creator.
He starts the play on the weakside wing and makes a flex cut to the opposite block,
where he receives an entry pass while being guarded by Nic Batum. He catches a
little far out on the baseline...CONTINUE READING AT 8p9s
|Don�t bogart that ball, McGee - Video Scouting Report
When JaVale McGee is on the court he uses a big chunk of Denver�s possessions.
According to Basketball-Reference.com, among regular rotation players, he has the
highest usage rate on the team at 23.9 percent. Despite this, he also has the third
lowest assist rate at 3.6 percent. Kosta Koufos has the second lowest, 3.1 percent,
and Kenneth Faried the lowest assist rate, 2.0 percent. Naturally, all three of the
Nuggets� main frontcourt players earn their keep around the rim, finishing plays and
putting back offensive boards, the big difference between McGee and the other two
is that he actually spends a significant amount of time with the ball in his hands.
Compare his usage rate with that of Koufos, lowest among rotation players at 12.4
percent, and Faried, third lowest at 18.6 percent. (A surprising side note here is that
Andre Miller is second lowest with a 17.6 percent usage rate that�s very modest
considering how much he handles the ball). In short, Kosta and Kenneth should be
given a free pass for their low assist rates, because the vast majority of the time,
when they get the ball, they�re right there at the rim, and the best thing to do is
immediately put it in the basket.
This is not always the case with JaVale, who handles the ball in the post much
more than the other two. Examining the data from MySynergySports.com, we can
see that in many ways the shot selection of all three players is fairly similar across
the board. However, there are three play types which one player uses significantly
more than the other two:
Faried and Koufos take more shots off offensive rebounds and cuts, respectively,
than their frontcourt counterparts. Both of these play types, of course, necessitate
taking the ball to the rim. There is no place for passing there. McGee, however, has
a higher percentage of post-ups than the other two, a play from which he has the
option to pass or shoot.
But pass he does not. This season McGee is averaging less than half an assist per
game. More starkly put, in 13 games he has dished out a single lone assist in five
different games, and zero assists in the remaining eight games. It�s also worth
noting that three of his assists this season were made in transition, and just two
made in the flow of an offensive set (one from the top of the key, and one from
the low post). As a general rule, once JaVale gets the ball in position, he gets
tunnel vision straight to the basket, and everything else on the court fades out of
sight and out of mind.
All of this might not be as great a problem if it weren�t for the fact that JaVale is
scoring a measly 0.5 points per possession on post-ups. Compare that with Marc
Gasol�s 1.09, Tim Duncan�s 0.99, or for that matter Andre Miller�s 1.05 PPP from
the post, and it�s easy to see that McGee still has a long way to go in getting a
handle on the moves he learned from Hakeem Olajuwon last summer and putting
them to positive effect.
In the meantime, as he finds his way through that process with the guidance of
the coaching staff, he needs to improve his own and his team�s efficiency by
making a concerted effort to dish it out more often from the post when the
occasion calls for it. This would result in fewer wasted possessions, as probable
missed shots got replaced by plays kept alive for more open, higher percentage
Perhaps just as importantly, if opposing defenses know that JaVale always shoots
and never dishes to cutters or shooters, then they are not kept honest. They can
collapse on McGee with double or even triple teams with no fear of getting punished
for leaving the perimeter unguarded. He can potentially earn himself better shots by
forcing defenses to respect his ability to find open shots for his teammates.
What follows are breakdowns of the five clips in the video at the bottom of this post.
(If you open the video up in Youtube, you can jump to any clip by clicking the times
in the description). All we can do is hope that the Nuggets film crew is working
closely with McGee to show him similar footage and stress the importance of the
kinds of points we�re making here.
Clip 1 � Missed running hook shot
This is one of those cases where McGee is so determined to make his move to the
basket that he completely fails to survey the court. The first time he gets the ball
on this possession, he does the right thing and passes out of the hard double team.
But the second time around, in his haste to take a shot, he doesn�t recognize that
the defense has collapsed into the middle, and misses the opportunity to dish it out
to either Jordan Hamilton or Andre Iguodala, both of whom are wide open. As a
sidenote on this clip, Danilo Gallinari sets a very nice screen on Kevin Love to give
JaVale room to operate. It would be great to see him set these kinds of hard
screens more often on pick and rolls with the point guards.
Clip 2 � Missed short range jump shot
In this clip, Tiago Spillter does a good job of preventing JaVale from getting position,
holding him to the side of the key where he gets the ball from Andre Miller. McGee
makes a nice spin move to shake off Splitter, but similarly to clip 1, the defense has
sunk into the paint. There are two help defenders lurking nearby ready to close in on
JaVale, which they promptly do when he makes his move. affecting his shot and
most likely causing the miss...CONTINUE READING AT ROUNDBALL MINING COMPANY

I bought my Garmin 201 from www.sportextreme.com based in Denmark for £120 inc. p&p and it is a European model. You can buy them on Ebay but if inexpensive are liklely to be the USA model which, apparently, does not work here. The UK prices tend to be £150 (see www.wiggle.co.uk) although you can get the Forerunner 101 for less. The only difference being that the 101 uses AAA batteries as opposed to the 201 which is rechargeable.
Anyway - i cannot praise the gadget enough. Accurate mileage and speed figures are excellent to have for plotting and monitoring training and the virtual partner is a great way to 'race' .....
(p.s. i started a new discussion as thepostbutton on respond to thread didn't work!?!?!!)
I'll do some investigating!
Unfortunately I now seem to have injured myself somewhere along the way. Really annoyed, having got up to 3 runs a week and started racing in earnest after putting it off last year I thought things were going well.
Ho-hum. Physio seems to be making it better (or at least finding lots of things wrong with my legs - I just put it down to age!)
Thanks for the info!
Must be a curse of Garmin - since having the gizmo i've done about 4 runs and none of them in anger - having pulled a thigh muscle. Nightmare buton the road to recovery now and the Garmin helps rehab by monitoring my pace accurately to make sure i don't overdo it too soon.....
Good luck with the recovery...

BUILDING TYPE: 19th-century Mansion/Senior Housing
UNITS AND APPLICATIONS: Historically accurate windows and doors, both standard and custom
CONTRACTOR: Kreisler-Borg Florman
In 1892, philanthropist Miriam Osborn directed a portion of her estate to the creation of a charitable home for widowed women. Today the Osborn is a state-of-the-art community for seniors featuring world-class care, grand architecture and a scenic 56-acre campus.
Replacing every window in the original neo-Georgian main building during renovation was just the beginning. Two enormous wings were added, both requiring windows and doors that would be durable, beautiful and easy for elderly residents to operate.
-By combining standard and custom products and creating historically accurate trim, Marvin met the important requirements for durability, architectural integrity and easy operation.
-The Old World charm and exceptional performance of Marvin products contributed to the institution being awarded the AIA's prestigious Excellence in Design for Aging award.

By Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell NEW YORK ( MainStreet) --In decades past, bad business ethics might have been defined as stealing a stapler from the office, taking a nap at your desk after lunch or, for executives, skimming off the top. And though business ethics today involves the same examination of moral and social responsibility in practices as in years gone by, what has changed is the introduction of the many new ethical breaches connected with technology and how ethics are recognized and handled in the workplace. Diane Swanson, chair of the business ethics education initiative at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kans., says that business ethics, as an industry, has been an evolutionary process. While there were ethical practices previously, the business ethics consulting business really began in the 1980s during the savings and loan scandals and widespread greed and corruption personified by Gordon Gekko from the movie "Wall Street." "This led to longer federal sentencing guidelines, which led to the creation of the ethics consulting industry," says Swanson. "Companies created a code of ethics, which helped in the sentencing, if you had a code of ethics, the sentences were shorter." She said the industry was created with compliance as a focus and now has morphed into what most companies recognize today as a more proactive approach in risk management. "That has led us to the consideration of what is an ethical culture in organizations today," says Swanson. "Companies are finding if a company has strong ethics at its core, the risk is diminished by that alone." Abbot Martin, research director for CEB, a research advisory firm in Washington, D.C. that focuses on risk and compliance, says that the company has surveyed more than a quarter-million employees around the world from 2007 to the present and found that overall, companies that had higher internal ethical standards also realized higher returns. The company looked at many different types of violations, including alcohol and drug use in the workplace, misappropriation of time, conflict of interest, fraud, harassment, discrimination and data privacy violations. The study found that companies that spent time building a high integrity corporate culture and had fewer incidents of these types of violations saw a 7.9% average annual shareholder return, as opposed to 2.1% at other companies.

I'm just frustrated by my lack of commitment. Often times after I wake up I just distract myself with my iPhone or whatever...almost like I'm trying to avoid having to meditate. I hate this attitude, but I don't know what to do to bring myself to want to do it. I've had stretches in the past where I liked it, but those eventually pass. What advice do you have? I often feel like it's not really doing anything for me. I know you're not suppose to bring that sort of attitude to your meditation, but I just find it hard not to. Any advice is appreciated.
Oppose Your Mind
Consider the Buddha's compassion and skill. He taught us after his own enlightenment. Finished with his own business, he got involved in ours, teaching us all these wonderful means. Concerning practice I have followed him, I have made all efforts in seeking, giving up my life to it because I believe in what the Buddha taught-that Path, fruition, and Nirvana exist. But these things are not accidental. They arise from right practice, from right effort, from being bold, daring to train, to think, to adapt, to do. This effort involves opposing your own mind.
The Buddha says not to trust the mind because it is defiled, impure, does not yet embody virtue or Dharma. In all the different practices we do, we must therefore oppose this mind. When the mind is opposed, it becomes hot and distressed, and we begin to wonder whether we are on the right path. Because practice interferes with defilement, with desire, we suffer and may even decide to stop practicing. The Buddha, however, taught that this is the correct practice and that defilement, not you, is the one that is inflamed. Naturally, such practice is difficult.
Some meditation monks only seek the Dharma according to words and books. Of course, when it is time for study, study according to the text. But when you are "fighting" with defilement, fight outside the
text. If you fight according to a model, you will not be able to stand up to the enemy. The texts only provide an example and can cause you to lose yourself because they are based on memories and concepts. Conceptual thinking creates illusion and embellishment and can take you to the heavens and hells, to the far reaches of imagination, beyond the simple truth here in front of you.
If you undertake the training, you will find that at first, physical solitude is important. When you come to live in seclusion, you can think of Sariputta's advice to monks concerning physical seclusion, mental seclusion, and seclusion from defilement and temptation. He taught that physical seclusion is the cause for the arising of mental seclusion, and mental seclusion is the cause for the arising of seclusion from defilement. Of course, if your heart is calm, you can live anywhere, but in first beginning to know Dharma, physical seclusion is invaluable Today, or any day, go and sit far away from the village. Try it, staying alone. Or go to some fearful hilltop by yourself. Then you can begin to know what it is really like to look at yourself.
Whether or not there is tranquility, do not be concerned. As long as you are practicing, you are creating right causes and will be able to make use of whatever arises. Do not be afraid that you will not succeed, will not become tranquil. If you practice sincerely, you must grow in Dharma. Those who seek will see, just as those who eat will be satisfied.
