The acronym GMO — short for genetically modified organism — has become the whipping boy for environmentalists and food purists who don't want DNA from one organism being transplanted into another.
In fact, several retailers, including Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods and Seattle-based PCC Natural Markets, have joined the Non-GMO Project, a third-party tester and certifier.
When you come right down to it, nearly every plant on earth has been genetically modified over the eons.
If truth in advertising really prevailed, shouldn't heirloom tomatoes and that Arkansas black apple also be labeled GMOs?
One definition from the online reference Wikipedia.org describes a GMO as an organism developed through genetic engineering.
That's about as clear as mud. But it goes on to describe genetic engineering as the "direct manipulation of DNA by humans outside breeding and mutations."
So where do you draw the line between manipulating DNA and breeding?
After all, isn't breeding just humans manipulating traits with a hoped-for beneficial outcome?
And doesn't genetic manipulation occur in nature even without plant breeders?
Bees carry pollen from one plant to another to fertilize the seed. Because DNA is variable, the resulting plant from the seed isn't a clone of either parent and therefore has been genetically modified.
As one grower-shipper pointed out to me recently, it's kind of like if one of these large retailers banned mutts because of their crossbreeding and only wanted people to have purebred dogs.
I've also heard food purists say they want only heirloom varieties because plant breeders haven't monkeyed with them.
Over the decades, even heirloom varieties have been bred for certain traits, such as flavor or texture.
In more recent years, desirable attributes have shifted more toward the production arena, and in many causes a heavier emphasis has been placed on agronomic traits, such as yields, store-ability and shelf life.
I've even received comments from website readers blasting hybrid tomatoes for being GMOs.
Hybridizing a crop doesn't inherently make it a GMO.
Heirloom varieties are open pollinated. Essentially, seeds from open-pollinated varieties will produce offspring similar to the parents.
But if you save seeds produced by a hybrid variety, chances are the resulting progeny will look nothing like either parent.
Nevertheless, the parents of hybrids tomatoes are still tomatoes, just remote relatives. But breed them together, and you get hybrid vigor.
It's kind of like mutts tend to be healthy because the parents — maybe a beagle and a Labrador retriever — were only remotely related as dogs.
Compare that to a purebred German shephard, for example, where the offspring have been bred back to the parents or close relatives repeatedly.
The breed has been inbred so much that genetic defects — in this case, hip problems — have been enhanced.
Here's where it becomes more complicated and sometimes more difficult for consumers to swallow.
Plums and apricots, for example, are members of the same botanical family and can be hybridized, resulting in pluots, plumcots or apriums.
In the dog world, it would be similar to the labradoodle, a cross between a Labrador retriever and a poodle.
Labradors and poodles are still dogs, just not close relatives.
Which brings up the question: Is plant breeding going to the dogs?
What's your take? Leave a comment and tell us your opinion.

Team Ratings
José Corona
He was the game's best player. In the 8th minute, he had his first great intervention, stopping McAnuff's point-blank shot. From then on, he was there to fix any and every error made by his faltering defense and midfield.
Jorge Torres
He tried throughout and was able to push forward on almost every possession. However, his crosses were less than great.
H. Moreno
He wasn't able to pair up with 'Maza', and never found his spot on the pitch. Needs a partner with better movement on the pitch and defensive positioning.
Paul Aguilar
Was weak on the attack and defensively, his work was shoddy at best due in part to the Jamaican players' speed.
C. Salcido
Very slow when it came to recovering loose balls. Jamaican players were apt to take advantage of his deficiencies.
A. Guardado
Guardado's worst match with the national team in recent memory, his two mistakes could have ended in goals for Jamaica if not for Corona's great saves.
H. Herrera
The best player on the pitch for a long stretch. Covered for many of Salcido's mistakes in the first half. When 'Chepo' subbed him out, the discontent in the stands was evident.
O. Peralta
Peralta was one of the many players who was unrightfully lumped in with the poor cast around him. His attempts to play around Chicharito were myriad, but neither him nor Hernandez were sharp.
G. dos Santos
Completely off his game, rightfully subbed out prior to the start of the second half. His level of play was far off from the Giovani Mexico fans have been accustomed to seeing.
Javier Hernández
Another player who was unable to shine. The low point was being reprimanded by 'Chepo' after Hernandez labored down to midfield in order to recover a loose ball he himself had coughed up.
D. Ricketts
Jamaica's best player, was there to solve all of Mexico's dangerous plays. Next to Corona, the game's MVP.
D. Phillips
Played a great match and was able to bust through the Mexican midfield, his long passes were deadly and he was able to create mistakes stemming from pressure on Guardado and Salcido.
J. Taylor
Was able to hang with Chicharito and Peralta, held them both at bay throughout the match and constantly disturbed their progress.
A. Mariappa
Was strong on the wing and always came back down to defend despite the constant attacks that the Mexican team tried on that side of the pitch.
N. Nosworthy
One of the players who had the most amount of work over the evening, his physical strength was key to pushing Mexico's strikers around.
J. Johnson
After Mexico's strong start to the second half, Whitmore decided to switch him out with positive results.
R. Austin
Was mostly error-free and maintained pressure on the players moving through the middle of the field. Played all 90 minutes.
M. Fabián
His time on the pitch did not help Mexico towards a victory, however, he was better than Guardado and the team was a little sharper.
J. Aquino
Subbed in and displayed a lot of spunk, tried to shoot and create chances for others. In the end, like his teammates, he was unable to score or make a noticeable difference.
Á. Reyna
Seemed distracted and was unable to mix in with the rest of his teammates. At the end of the match, cameras caught him in a heated discussion with 'Chicharito'.

Protesters pitch camp at fairgrounds
EUGENE, Ore. - Protesters who want a public place for people to legally sleep in Eugene have pitched camp at the Lane County Fairgrounds.
Eugene SLEEPS, which stands for Safe Legally Entitled Emergency Places to Sleep, has had tents near the Farmers Market in downtown Eugene and said they planned to spread out to other locations.
The group had been kicked out of the Free Speech Plaza at the Lane County Courthouse. The people trespassed from that camp successfully beat the citations in court.
Angie Bartow at the SLEEPS camp downtown said the protesters are working with the Tuesday and Saturday markets vendors to avoid disrupting the market.
The camp along 13th Avenue in Eugene at the fairgrounds is new.
County Commissioner Pat Farr said he isn't sure the court ruling overturning trespass notices for the Free Speech Plaza governs the fairgrounds, too. "The judge's order on the Wayne Morse Plaza, that's one thing. But when things start happening more closely to people's neighborhoods. I think we'll hear an outcry from people, that they just don't want to see it happening."
Farr said the county would likely call the Eugene Police Department if the camp remains in place.

- PIO Number: 13-8-16
- Date: August 12, 2013
- Time: 9:07 a.m.
- Place of Occurrence: Near the intersection of Fir Way and East Sailboat Drive, Cooper City
- Jurisdiction: Cooper City
- State of Florida
- Lisa Taylor, 44, 12/6/68, female, 7 Fir Way, Cooper City (DECEASED)
Description of Incident:
A Cooper City woman who called 911 and threatened to kill someone was fatally wounded Monday morning after she pointed her gun at Broward Sheriff's Office deputies.
Shortly after 9 a.m., Lisa Taylor called 911 from her home at 7 Fir Way in Cooper City and told the operator she was "gonna kill somebody" and that she had a gun. The 44-year-old woman then hung up the phone. While the 911 operator tried to call her back, BSO units were dispatched to the scene.
Arriving deputies encountered Taylor, who was armed with a gun, walking in the street near the intersection of Fir Way and Sailboat Drive. The uniformed deputies approached and gave Taylor several verbal commands to drop her weapon. One sergeant and two deputies fired their weapons when Taylor refused to comply and pointed her gun at them.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue rushed Taylor to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood where she was pronounced dead at 10 a.m. No other injuries were reported.
An off-duty Pembroke Pines officer was driving in the area at the time of the shooting. The windshield of the Ford Escape he and his father were traveling in was accidentally struck by one of the deputies' bullets. Fortunately, the officer and his father were not injured.
As homicide detectives spent most of the day taking statements and reviewing the evidence, they learned Taylor was armed with a Crossman handgun, which shoots 6 mm BBs.
Per BSO policy, homicide detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Sgt. Jason Tarala, Dep. Juan Hernandez and Dep. Toni Hopkins were placed on administrative assignment.

The only bad thing is its a little bendy.
This review is from Heavy Duty EZD ™ View Binders 79193:
I do love AVERY's plastic binders and because they are typically cheaper than FANCY binders, I do usually end up buying them. But couldn't they be sold at a bit lower price? I do love the D-ring binder variety. It makes the product last a bit longer than the regular binder. But all in all, I think whether sold at the regular price OR a promotional price, the price needs to be reduced.
This review is from Heavy Duty EZD View Binders 79802:
I use these binders every day at work, and e use them for O&M manuals that we send to customers. They hold up well, are easy to open and the pages turn easily.
This review is from Heavy Duty View Binders 79695:
Avery Heavy Duty View Binders is the only binder I use for our customer informational binders. We send out hundreds of them to our customers every year. The "one touch" is wonderful when you are fillling binders with index tabs. It is so easy to open and close with one touch. These binders take a beating at our dealer locations and we are constantly adding material to them. So nothing short of a heavy duty binder will do. It wouldn't reflect well on us if the binder our customer goes through looking at our product is falling apart!
Highly recommend to those who want a binder that closes correctly everytime, can stand a beating, and has crystal clear viewing windows for our photo covers!
This review is from Heavy Duty EZD ™ View Binders 79193:
I have not had the first problem with this binder. Thought it was a little pricey at first, but now I know it was worth every penny!! I carry this binder everywhere I go, and it has held up like a champ. I love all the pockets and the rings do not come loose so your papers get snagged when you try to turn them. I would highly recommend this product.

Minor League Update
Games of Monday, July 22
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Cory Jones, RHP, Cardinals (Low-A Peoria): 6.0 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 12 K. Another start, another shove session for Jones. The fastball can touch the upper 90s, and he uses a power curveball that flashes plus to miss bats. There is effort in his delivery, and that, combined with an inconsistent changeup, suggests that Jones' ultimate future is in relief. Regardless, he is now squarely on the prospect radar; 26.0 IP, 22 H, 6 ER, 5 BB, 28 K in four July starts.
Position Prospect of the Day: Victor Roache, OF, Brewers (Low-A Brewers): 2-3, 2 HR, 2 R, 7 RBI, 2 BB. Roache has top-notch raw power, and he really can pack a punch when he gets his hands extended on a ball. The problem here is that superior pitching may give Roache a world of trouble. A player like Roache relies on his power, and if he is not able to make consistent contact, the pop becomes irrelevant; .349/.391/.814 with 2 2B and 6 HR in last 43 at-bats.
Other notable prospect performances on July 22:

"The Bad"
"The Call-Ups"
Well, Christian (Yelich) and Jake (Marisnick), now is your time to shine. Everyone has talked poorly about the Marlins' ownership, but we all should understand that they have very good knowledge about their system. The trades that they made put them in excellent position going forward. I feel that Yelich deserved a proper send-off to the big leagues simply because the swing is that special. I also felt like Marisnick needed praise because I'm not really sure what it's going to be like for him in the majors initially. I could see him exploding and showing all of his tools, but I also could see pitchers exploiting him.

Prime ChildrenLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A mother has some children whose product of their ages (in number of years) is 17. Now can you infer two important things from this information?
NOTE: Assume all children are a 'whole number' (no decimals) age.
Hint17 is a prime number.
1. The eldest child must be 17 years
2. All other children (may be twins or triplets or quintuplicates or more than this number at the same birth) must be 1 year old each born at the same birth.

This looks really interesting HAWK. Also, for free? No complaints there. Downloading now and will start reading once I get the darn AC to work in my house again.
I'm reading it as I write this, and it looks good
Congratulations to all the authors!
The content looks great, I cannot wait to read it. My congratulations, and thanks, go out to Sitepoint and the authors.
Giving this away for free is a fantastic idea, and I'll be sure to push this on the web-minded people at work.
Thanks guys.
Apart from a few URL typos created by the software (which I am sure will get fixed soon).
The book is probably by far the most informative book publication I have read from SitePoint this year and certainly worth a read.
It's got a nice balance; from the few chapters that finally made it through... all the hurdles and hoops to the final publication. Better still it won't cost you a penny.
A book written by the SPF Community for the community an honest representation that can be rightfully classed as truly AX3S0ME!
I can guarantee you'll all learn something new from the book chapters that you didn't know before if you read it cover-to-cover.
This looks like one of the more interesting/useful reads in a long while from sitepoint and free isn't bad either. Thank god its not another worthless WordPress or JQuery book (though I'm sure those are soon to follow).
I read a lot, and this gets :tup: :tup: :tup: from me!
I opened it intending to only skim a bit and ended up reading up to chapter 4 before the urge to get back online took control.
A real page-turner page-scroller.
OMG it actually happened!!!!!
We'll done HAWK, well done authors, and well done this fine fine community.
Spead the word everyone.
Congrats all.
*DownloadedCan't wait to read it
Hi Shayne
Hi Patrick
Good to see you around here from time to time. I think that this book has been a positive experience but we do have to thank Hawk for her patience as well as SP HQ for the editing work.
I'm very happy that the book is out. I'm sure that all my fans will be happy to read my chapter because... that's why they're fans (that is, if I have any :p)
Thanks molona.
That's really great share Loving it
Fantastic! This is not only a way for people to become better acquainted with the site, but also better acquainted with the people behind the website. Keep up the great work and I hope there will be more chapters added in the future.
Hi molona
@ HAWK -- you are going to email this to all new members that join as a part of the welcome email yeah?
This looks great! I already get one! I'll download it later. More power to you guys!
Good call Shayne.

|On the third pitch there is a nice 5.8, or 9ish?? variation. From the second belay, cruise around to the right, traversing for about 10 feet or so, to where you are more on the wall facing the approach path then on the left which is kinda the line of the route. In other words, you come out more onto the North?? face... Ok, the rock is sorta round, but, after you traverse around, just past the sight of your belayer, you should see a left facing dihedral kinda thing. Take this up through the interesting little overlap (undercling it) which would probably take a cam if your brought any (this climb easily gets sowed up with hexes, and nuts). Belay on a ledge a short ways after the overlap. From here, you can easily join the normal route(s). Granted, there is a ton of variations to go on this route, and you can just head up till your at the top, but, this (un-obvious) variation gives you some wicked exposure on the steeper North?? face...

|Overall, a great route. Only a few spots of loose rock keep this climb from getting three stars. Leaders should be prepared to run things out a bit and, especially on the first pitch, there can be some route finding issues. The crux felt harder than 5.6. Have fun. Stan

|did this route on 7-5-02. Great route, spots of 5.6 scattered along the first four pitches. The rock is somewhat broken and grabbing large but disconected blocks is common. A couple such blocks shifted and it was pretty alarming. Anyway, testing all such handholds before commiting to them could definately prevent an injury. Also, it's easy to knock off softball sized rocks on the ascent and the rap route, and they just go screaming down the route smashing into things harder and harder as they pick up speed. Great route, but loose holds and rockfall are major issues.

Descent comment: The 2nd rap described by Rossiter seemed to be gone 7/18/2. Saw the ledge. Recalled the spot. But no 2nd rap station.
We used the rap just below the S end of the summit block with 3 pins (one is blue), 180' (though the end of this is 3rd class with big exposure) to a big block with multiple slings and an old pin. Here, we rapped 195' (past 2 less solid appearing rap slings) to a rap station on the R side of the gully with a pin, chockstone, and a Wild Country Rock. From here, it was short rap down to the Gash that a Marmot easily scrambled up and past.

Marmots may ransack your packs if you leave them at the base. Hang your food, or bring it all with you.
This is a great route, although there is no single line and routefinding can be tricky. But I think it deserves classic status.

The crux probably lies in a left-facing dihedral on the third pitch. This 15ft. section should be easily recognizable with the labored breathing and the two fixed nuts that were there as of late August 2002.
The last pitch is easy but memorable...truly spectacular.
Check those rappel pins before you weight them. Albert Ellingwood himself may have bashed those in....

|I think that routefinding is the crux on this route! It certainly is not that obvious where to go. Rossiter's topo is useful but we still weren't sure we were in the right place. Don't get too stressed out if what you see doesn't match the description - there are many variations possible.

|The route was good because of the cool exposure but personally, I felt the rock quality was poor. There was loose stuff everywhere. Not to mention the lichen and moss. There is a distinct possibility that we were slightly off route on some of the pitches. As far as the descent, we made 3 raps off of sharkstooth, then 4 more in the East Gully, then headed over to the south face of the petit where we located our first rap station. The 2d rap station that we found, our 60m rope fell about 30' short of the next rap. My partner rigged another station with some red webbing and green cord so that a 60m rope will now suffice. Overall, the climbing was fun. The gorgeous approach is very moderate except the scree to the base of the climb. We got a late start and thankfully, the weather was perfect from sun-up and beyond. But, because of our late start and getting lost on the descent, we missed the last bus!!!! Hiking the road back was soooooo annoying! Every time we saw a reflector on the barrels along the road, we'd have false hopes that we'd soon see a sign for the parking lot.

|Can the descent be done comfortably with one rope?
By Tony B
From: Around Boulder, CO
Jul 30, 2004
rating: 5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b
Descent with 1 rope? True, I've done it a few times that way. Odds are, 1 rope is better than 2 most of the way, as you will have it tied to your back, not be on rap. That said, there are some technical moves and some loose rock, and some will be more comfortable rapping off. I think 1 rope should be just fine for this, if you are cautious and watchful- there are plent of anchors or anchor opportunities in the notct, just take a little extra webbing, which you might want for replacing existing ones anyway. Worst that can happen is you lose 2 nuts and some webbing if you put in an extra station somewhere- and that's what, $18? Heck, I'd risk that not to carry the extra rope.
Then again... should you climb alpine with a single rope? Depends on you and your skill level, but in any case it is a separate question to consider.

|My partner pulled out the blue pin at the first rappel station with just a little tug, that kinda sketched us out...we pounded it back in...but [don't] trust that pin. On the left somebody has slung a small chockstone as a back up, I pulled on that with some force and the chock snapped in half...I [wouldn't] trust whats left of that either. We [decided] to build our own chockstone as a back up so we slung a large chock in the wide crack on the right with webbing, still seems kinda marginal...so rapping from here is basically putting most of all your faith into those two old rusted pins, which seem pretty strong, but they are certainly old. If any of this makes you feel uncomfortable be prepared to deal with it. The 2nd and 3rd stations seemed bomber to us.

My partner and I attempted to climb this ridge on 8/17/05, but we were unfortunately chased off by storms that arrived earlier than expected. In order to get off the rock, we had to rap the route leaving gear behind as we did. If anyone finds this gear please e-mail me, email@example.com, I am willing to reward anyone returning this lost gear as well.
Gear Lost:We started under the fixed rap slings (a red and a super faded orange). About half a rope length above the slings there should be a #2 and a #3 C4 Camalot with a 4 foot red and white runner connecting them. Another half rope length up there should be a 3 piece anchor with a red and pink tricam and a #1 C4 Camalot. Above this is the crux, and where I bailed off a fixed Alien (or Alien look-alike). Above the anchor and below the fixed Alien we lost a #.75 Camalot (not C4) a #0 and #1 TCU. Also lost but not as important are #s 2, 4, and 7 Wallnuts.
Anything returned is appreciated.

Great route, on superb stone, worth the grueling approach, if you have great weather like we did..a blue bird day. We set up a bivy down in the gash and were right behind a CMS guided party of three the next morning at our 6:45 start. However, Roy Leggett did an outstanding job of guiding his clients, and we never waited long and enjoyed their company.
This route has excellent position and has good, sustained climbing at the grade (5.5 & 6) the entire way. The crux was probably a short layback off a flake on P2. There is loose rock, but generally solid. In the crack 10' off the ground on the last roped pitch, beware of a large, oblong stone. It came off when I touched it and was in my lap. I was able to settle it back where it had been, only because I had a good stance, or I would be on crutches right now.
I would do this route again tomorrow under similiar conditions...real nice climb.

|Doesn't get much better than this. Stellar alpine granite, awesome position, heinous approach/descent - Alpine! Brilliant! Thank you! We seem to have followed Rossiter's topo and pitch description pretty closely and felt the crux was a small roof with a crack just above the "inset" that Rossiter describes on P2. We started just left of the R-facing dihedral to the left of the route drawn in the beta photo. This leads past a rather large, old piton and up to a good belay ledge right below the inset. Done this way, P3 is definitely not the crux and climbs the left side of a left-facing flake system. The crack moves on P2 felt pretty close to the difficulty of the Bastille Crack (if only for a few moves), so I'd give the roue a 5.7 (minus?). The pro can be run out in spots (esp. P5), but the climbing is usually easy in those spots.

First pitch was very wet and not that fun on June 29th, 2009 (too shaky for me). All the other pitches were mostly all dry and very fun.

|As of June 23rd, one single 60m rope was NOT enough to do the raps. The first and third raps are fine with a single 60m. The second single rope rap deposits you on a a little ledge. Some exposed 4th class down climbing will bring you to a slung boulder with two biners on it. I left that stuff behind on June 23rd and now the route can be rapped with a single 60m. It would be best if someone brought a section of long cordelette and backed up my slings, if they could.

Climbed this on August 8, 2011 and had an awesome time. This was my first alpine route, and I would definitely recommend it.
It bears repeating to be careful of loose rock!
The best bivy spots are located in a flat(ish) spot about a quarter mile into The Gash after leaving the main trail. Look for a huge boulder, and you will find several good spots scattered around it.
We did the rappel with a 60 meter rope and it worked alright, but I would recommend bringing some extra webbing. I had to build my own rap station after the second rappel.

Climbed yesterday in 12.5 h c2c. Left the trail head at 3 (we had to drive back to Texas that day) and started climbing a few minutes before 7. We had a quick pace until we reached the gash and got off route in the darkness causing our scramble up the talus to be unnecessarily brutal.
At the end of the first rope stretching pitch I had ventured too far to the right causing us to have to do a 30m traverse up and left to gain the standard route. Try to tend left at the end of the first pitch to avoid this nuisance. Overall, however route finding is very easy on this climb as long as you have a decent since of where you're going.
We continued up on beautiful granite and spectacular exposure to the summit about 3:15 after we started the first pitch. We spent 45 min on top taking pictures and enjoying the breathtaking views of RMNP.
About the rappel:
We easily located the first rap anchor which consists of about 3 old pitons and 2 nuts. The webbing connecting all these pieces looks a bit old so we left another sling on one of the pitons and called it good.
A 57m rap takes to the next anchor which consists of a slung block (and a piton or nut I can't remember which) Though the block looks a bit smaller than we would have liked, it is wedged deeply behind a huge chunk of the cliff and seemed pretty darn secure.
Another 60m rap brings you to a large ledge where you can scramble over to the next anchor on the climbers right side of the gully. This anchor consists of some pitons and a nut and seemed pretty good though the webbing looked like it could use replacing.
From here, a 29m rappel will bring you nicely to the top of the Gash.
Also, the marmots here are vicious vermon. They ate most of the cork off our trekking poles and nibbled a bit on my guide tennis (they carried one about 15 ft away from where I had placed it.

The climbing on The Sharkstooth is really good and should be on your RMNP to-do list. For what it's worth, I would recommend being comfortable on 5.7 terrain as there are a few moves I found to be stiff for the 5.6 rating.
Went up on 8/5. On the way down, we cleaned up the rap stations a bit. We backed up webbing at the first station (the three pins looked good, the nuts are no longer there). The second section looked good. We also backed up the third station (nut, chockstone, and pin looked good). Note that the third rap station is a bit hard to see (the cord blends into the rock). It's a full 60 meters down from the 2nd station and then the 3rd rap station is to the rappeller's right (towards the NE Ridge). Didn't check the intermediate stations for single-rope raps.

|You must do this climb. Once. The approach via vast boulderfields of dishwashers and microwaves will keep you from going back, but ... the actual climb was just about everything you could ask from alpine. Exposed, altitude, length, and great scenery. Real moves for a 5.6. The huge bivy boulder is past the last trees - past the first smooth, partial, cliff band by 100 yds or so, and there is water near it. Route-finding was easy, pro was good. This thing was designed to be climbed.

|The approach and descent are not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Not sure how you could get off route on the approach unless you didn't scramble up around to the left to get to the grassy ledge where the first pitch starts and instead went up the snow apron at the base. We had 2x60m ropes and used both for one of the raps - in retrospect, the second rope was not essential. Great route.

|Did this route late August of 2013. Be cautious of what you're pulling on as there is some loose stuff, but you can always find a bomber alternative. Keep in mind this was rated a 5.6 when 5.9 was the hardest, it did feel a bit stiff and more like 5.7 on a few spots. Really great route and fun/ easy/ exposed climbing on the last 2 pitches. We had a party of 3 with 2 ropes, but I would recommend only bringing one rope 60-70m for the rap for parties of 2 as there were numerous stations on the way down.

|The dihedral to climber's right on pitch 3 felt more like 5.7, everything else was solid 5.6 on great rock. Route finding and anchors were pretty straightforward, just follow the ridge and climb what looks good, and belay on awesome ledges. The rappels were pretty straightforward (we had a 60m and a 60m pull cord that we tagged), and the anchors held me and my partner no problem. However, the pin rings at the first rap did not inspire too much confidence, and the third/last rap... the way the slings are equalized almost all of the weight is on the chockstone. We did it in 6 pitches, never placed anything bigger than a #3, and were c2c in 11 hours without much rush. Have fun, it's a great route.

Mellow route & beautiful summit with a non-trivial approach. We loved the pristine bivy at the obvious cliff below the Tooth. Please keep it clean. Good water there and flat rock under the stars and satellites.
You don't need rps or a #4 Camalot. The wide crack has chockstones to tie off. There are a number of small fixed nuts in parallel cracks indicating that Lowe Balls could be helpful. Never placed so many offset Aliens.
For us, it was less about the technical climbing more about the full experience of this rugged and beautiful place. 3 days c2c.

On the approach we reached the Gash in 1hr 40min. Approach to the base of the climb was 50min. Almost no snow on the approach. Climb took us 3hr 30min. This route is definitely doable in 3 pitches with a 70m rope. Our route took us over a couple 5.7 crux sections, but most of the route felt 5.6. Last pitch goes 5.3 to 5.4. Brought a complete rack up to #3 Camalot (doubled on #0.75, #1 and #2), set of nuts and couple large hexes. The webbing in the rappel anchors were in good shape as of 9/2/14. On the first rappel 70m rope is enough to reach the ledge. The second rap had a few intermediate rappel stations, which are needed with a single 70m rope. Twin 60s would reach. The third rappel 70m is plenty to reach. Time was 9hr 50min c2c. Overall amazing climb and superb alpine rock. Have fun!

The climb was really fun - quite mellow for the grade. Gear is great, especially nuts. As others have said, the approach is brutal. There were lots of bail anchors throughout the first three pitches.
The rap anchors seem to constantly change looking at all the comments. On 9/1/14, the first rappel anchor consisted only of the 3 old pitons and one rap ring, but by 9/2/14 there is a fourth piece and a locker. To get to the first rap station - scramble down and right into the gully. It's at a logical spot - where the cliff drops off. There is a slung boulder as you start to downclimb into the gully that you can clip to stay on belay to the rappel station - clip it or don't fall. We rapped on double 70m ropes, got down in two rappels with about 30 feet of 3rd/4th class downclimbing at the bottom. Lots of rap stations down the gully.

The route is in good shape as of 9.28.14. This is a fine alpine route with decent rock, good exposure, and adequate pro. The approach is a bit tedious but no worse than most RMNP alpine routes. The first pitch is somewhat dirty, but the upper pitches are enjoyable, mid-5th class climbing with buckets and jams that appear exactly when you need them. A good figure for reasonably fit climbers is about 10 hours car-to-car, with 3-4 hours on the route itself.
I suggest bringing extra small gear (<#1 Camalot) as the protectable features on most of the route are somewhat compact. Be cautious about nut placements as the cracks are mostly irregular.
Test your holds--there are a lot of size-large flakes, chocks, etc. that look more solid than they really are.

This route is fantastic!
If you make sure you start P2 right below the inset where there's a red sling and climb straight up, you'll then climb P3 as described in the guidebook (i.e. starting on a L-facing dihedral). P3 was our favorite pitch of the whole climb.
With 60m ropes and a bit of help from your belayer, it's possible (and worth it) to link P3 and P4.

The traditional rappel route seems to have changed. As of 6/4/16, the second station is no longer 150' right on grassy ledge.
Rap 1: 3 fixed pins w/backup stopper; ~140' to grassy ledge.
Rap 2: ~40' below and rappeller's left of landing from rap 1, fixed pin with slung block; ~180' down gully to another ledge. Look for station 3 on rappeler's right.
Rap 3: Fixed pin, stopper, chockstone in right wall of gully; ~75' to top of East Col.

This route was lots of fun! The last pitch is awesomely exposed!
The rappel info from J-K seems about right. We completed it with one 70m (and it could be completed with one 60m) like this:
Rap 1: in the alcove very near the summit: 3 fixed pins (2 ancient ring-angles!) and a stopper. Rap 100' to a terraced grassy ledge. Watch your ends!
Walk 50' down the hill on grassy ledges (Class 2), and find a slung block and fixed pin anchor.
Rap 2a: rap 100' to an intermediate rappel station consisting of a slung horn (10' skier's right of plumb line). This station could use a backup nut and sling.
Rap 2b: rap 70' to sloping ledge. Walk 20' skier's left to the fixed-pin + stopper + chockstone anchor.
Rap 3: rap 75' to the East Col.
If you only bring one rope, it's a good idea to bring extra webbing + rap rings, since the rappel anchor seem to change frequently (judging from the comments here).
From the col, we scrambled down the rock on skier's left on the gully. Eventually, we could go no further due to cliffs + snow, so we rappelled 100' from a slung block across the snow and back to the base. You can get a good look at this last portion of the descent from the base of the climb.

Climbed this yesterday in 5 pitches (wanted to link more but lots of parties on the route). Lots of parties on the "direct start" so we started in a R-facing dihedral to the right (which based on some of the photos here... looks like the real direct start).
P1. R-facing dihedral and belay on a great ledge. P2 was a little spicier than 5.6-- went up a short, R-facing dihedral with a nice finger crack. Some fun, thin face moves. Back to easier 5.fun. Traversed left to join the "standard route" on some knobs and set a belay right underneath a juggy roof on a L-facing dihedral.
Was able to pass 2 other parties by starting this way and climbing quickly. If there are a lot of other groups, just pick a start and go! Descent with a 70m rope was super easy. Some downclimbing on grassy ledges. Leave the #4 Camalot at home. Yellow, orange, and red Metolius mastercams were the pieces of the day!

Something tells me that Wanye is impersonating the episode of Entourage that Johnny puked on the sweet 16 birthday cake...
Don't see how Modano can get one. I mean, sure, he's an Oiler killer, but he's simply a good, hard-working player.

Suns Expected To Let Amundson Walk
It doesn't appear as though free-agent big man Louis Amundson will return to the Suns for a third season.
"It's too bad Phoenix didn't value me enough to keep me around," Amundson said. "I felt like it was a great situation and I gave everything I have. It's a business and I'm trying to have a thick skin.
"I was always concerned (about the chances). Knowing they signed Hakim Warrick and Channing for that much money ($30 million over five years), that was not a good sign."
Amundson said that the Bobcats, Raptors and Warriors have shown interest in signing him.
"We're talking pretty seriously with a lot of teams," said Amundson's agent, Mark Bartelstein. "He's the best big on the market."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'SN95 4.6L Mustang Tech' started by Nick D, Sep 19, 2013.
Power adders are quite expensive, but definitly well worth it.
Expensive, but what you get out of it overpowers every other upgrade.
That's a very good point
Yes, I understand I always over do my daily ha-ha.
@Nick D how much HP do you have right now?
Haha. If my wallet and wife said yes. So, would I!
well currently i have only about 230hp, i just bought the car about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it's practically bone stock. so far, i had installed a CAI and within a couple of days it should have SLP loudmouth 1's with the stock exhaust. so i was hoping $500 would be enough to play around with for now.
I gave up smoking, my old lady was born and raised mustangs, and I don't have kids. She's always telling me "I'll buy you parts if you need them, just let me know ahead of time" ha-ha
Hahaha. Nice!
Ok so that would be what, 230 max at the crank. Think about what all you're going to have to do to hit the 350 mark. Not trying to negative just realistic bro. Honestly, I would save money for MOAR power or put it into handling. Then you can really have some fun for now carving the roads. My stang was 175hp and 225tq in 2nd at 2300 rpm when I first got it. Not fast, but really quick off the line ha. It would surprisingly whoop cars that you wouldn't expect it to. If it was a newer car and a not so good driver I can easily pass ha-ha.
I still haven't let her buy anything but gas for it just because that's how I am. She's my money pit
I know what you mean there. Haha. All my money is in suspension and I'm finally getting into the motor.
ya, i do have a while to get to that mark, so definitely i will save up for suspension and enjoy the car until i get up to the 350 mark. haha, i could still easily pass those honda civics and z28s
@TurdstangGT See, I started motor first and I'm currently doing motor and starting suspension. Which is why I'm trying to help @Nick D here figure out he wants suspension first.
For sure! If you have any suspension questions the guys and gals at MM are very knowledgeable and polite. They will help with anything you need to know.
@85rkyboby and @Nick D, I definitely agree with doing suspension and gears first. I probably have 200rwhp if I'm lucky, but I have so much fun with just my simple suspension and 3.55's. I used to have a Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo with roughly 270awhp and it wasn't anywhere near as fun as this my Mustang.
Totally agree! Shoot most folks just guess HP rating based off parts they buy or because that's what the manufacturer says, when in most cases they over rate the power of things. People now in days seem to think more is better with power, that's only true to a limit. It's pointless if you can't keep it on the ground, or take it around corners, or whatever your goal is in the end.
@85rkyboby I could not agree with you more there man. I hate how people think that just a CAI will give them 15whp. A nice CAI with an exhaust to compliment may give 15bhp, which is noticeable. You know what they say about Supra's, right? If you have a 700whp Supra, you're gonna run 10's, but if you have a 1000whp Supra. You're still gonna run 10's. Haha.
@TurdstangGT That's freaking hilarious. I just happen to have a buddy that does nothing but Supra's. I swear you can't tell this guy anything lol.

LONG BEACH — A tenured Cal State Long Beach film professor that a university audit found had misused student scholarship money will step down from his position, officials said Tuesday.
Brian Alan Lane, a Hollywood screenwriter and professor in the film and electronics department, allegedly funneled thousands of dollars in student scholarships into a special account that he controlled, according to a 2011 report from the Cal State University Auditor's Office.
The professor was handed a notice of termination late last year following a university investigation, said Cal State University spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp.
As a tenured professor and member of the faculty union, Lane was allowed to appeal the decision in a hearing process that ended when he reached a settlement last month, Uhlenkamp said.
Although Uhlenkamp said Lane's retirement was connected to the audit, the settlement itself makes no mention of the allegations. Instead, it cites the discontinuance of the master's program in which Lane teaches as the reason for his retirement.
Under the settlement, Lane will continue to teach his spring semester courses and two summer courses. He'll stay on through the fall to work full time on a project designing online courses for his department before officially retiring from his position in February 2014. He has agreed not to seek employment on another CSU campus.
Uhlenkamp said university officials chose to settle with Lane rather than pursue further action stemming from the audit. No money was awarded under the settlement, he said.
"It's not necessarily a black and white issue, and while we feel we had a strong case, the case could very well have dragged out at least through the summer, so we opted for a final resolution that was in the best interest of the university," he said.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Lane declined to comment on the audit and whether he had received a termination notice. However, he confirmed he will retire next February, which he said is due to the discontinuation of the university's master's of fine arts degree program in dramatic writing.
He also said he's received several positive letters of recommendation from university officials.
"The highest people at the university have written wonderful letters explaining the truth about me and my contributions to the university," Lane said.
After his time at Cal State Long Beach, Lane, who said he's in his 50 s, said he'll continue to write, produce and possibly teach at another university in the future.
Lane, who's also an attorney, has sued the university twice since joining the campus in 2002. He first sued Cal State Long Beach in 2005 alleging discrimination, Uhlenkamp said. The case was settled out of court.
In 2010, Lane and former Film and Electronics Department Chairman Michael Pounds sued the university, alleging the audit was in retaliation for whistle-blowing on another matter. The case was dismissed last March, Uhlenkamp said.
The audit, released in May 2011, alleges that a university professor, later identified by CSU officials as Lane, filed a false $10,000 reimbursement claim for a student scholarship.
The audit claims that Lane, acting as an attorney for his students, funneled $47,574 in scholarship payments to 12 students into his attorney-client trust account, which he said was at the direction of his students.
The report found that Lane was allowed to unilaterally decide which students would receive scholarships, and in one case, one student got $31,700 in scholarships.
The audit also cited Cal State Long Beach's lack of oversight for scholarship awards and problems with the use of reimbursement request forms that do not require the claimant's signature. The findings prompted the campus to revise its scholarship program.
On his Cal State Long Beach professor profile, Lane describes himself as a novelist, nonfiction writer, media commentator, attorney, professor and screenwriter. He has worked on such television series as "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Remington Steele" and "Hunter."

When my friend Bonnie told me she made the Teriyaki Chicken from the blog for her family and they loved it I first thought "I'm glad they liked it," followed by "That recipe really needs new photos!" So over the weekend I made Teriyaki Chicken and took a trip down memory lane, remembering a friend who moved to Hawaii and introduced me to some interesting foods when she came back to Utah. This simple way of making Teriyaki Chicken was her recipe, and it's been so good that I've never imagined any other way of making this dish.
This recipe for Low-Sugar or Sugar-Free Teriyaki Chicken was updated and added to Recipe Favorites October 2010.)
Second, when I made the chicken this time I definitely thought it was done after 50 minutes cooking time, so I made that change in the recipe. I also improved the directions a bit, but if you're someone who's been using this recipe through the years, you can still find the original recipe by clicking Printer Friendly Recipe.
Pour about 1/3 of the sauce over the chicken.
Low Sugar (or sugar-free) Teriyaki Chicken
(Makes 4 servings; recipe adapted from one I got years ago from a friend who lived in Hawaii.)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (or 8 skinless, bone in chicken thighs, well trimmed)
1/2 cup soy sauce (Use Gluten-Free Soy Sauce if needed.)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup Stevia Granulated Sweetener or Splenda or sugar (or less, depending on how sweet you like it. Use Stevia Granulated Sweetener or Splenda for the South Beach Diet)
1 T brown sugar (optional)
1 T ginger puree or fresh grated ginger root
1 T garlic puree or fresh garlic, finely diced

People get annoyed about institutions charging them bank fees to access their own money, but bank accounts do have the underrated benefit of making it impossible for a disturbed child to steal your life savings and use it to buy mass quantities of candy.
That's exactly what happened in Ukraine, where a young boy is in deep trouble with his parents. From the Russian News and Information Agency RIA Novosti:
A 9-year-old boy has emptied his parents' piggy bank, spending almost $4,000 on candy in the Ukrainian city of Konotop, the Ukrainian edition of Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda daily said Wednesday.
A total of $3,300 and 500 euro (about $600) -- the family's entire savings -- went missing from the stash, which was kept hidden under a sofa.
"The disappearance was first spotted by the father, a shift worker who had just returned home," said Tatyana Kushnerova of the local police department. "He opened the stash and saw that it was empty."
After a brief family row, the son admitted stealing the money, saying he wanted to buy some sweets.
During his autumn vacation, the boy took various sums of money from the stash and converted it into Ukrainian hryvnas with the help of an adult acquaintance. The man, who has been diagnosed with a mental disorder, always received the biggest note for his services.
As the boy was unable to eat all the candy he bought, he shared it with friends.
I get a lot of people in the comments section of this blog and on social media threatening to take out their cash and stuff it under a mattress because of insultingly low interest rates, high bank fees, etc. But while the fact that the kid went and blew all this money on candy is kind of funny, this incident illustrates exactly why keeping large amounts of cash around your home rather than in a checking or savings account is a terrible idea.
To get an idea of how much $4,000 is for a Ukranian family, the gross national income per capita in Ukraine is $3,120 a year compared to $48,450 in the U.S., according to the World Bank. In other words, losing that $4,000 probably felt like what an American family would feel in losing $62,115.
Now, I'm sure the family had some good reasons for keeping the money in cash. Ukraine is experiencing massive inflation of around 10 percent annually right now, so the family was probably keeping its money in hard-currency euros to avoid that.
But whatever reasons that you have for keeping a large amount of cash in your home, it's important to remember that in doing so, you're risking a total loss. After all, when it comes to money, all it takes is one family member or friend who knows about your stash to succumb to temptation for that cash to be gone.
What do you think? Have you ever lost a stash of cash? Did you wish afterward it had been sitting in a bank instead?

Prize Recipient
Soun-Ja Walters
Greetings! My name is Soun-Ja Walters and I am 18 years old. It has always been my highest aspiration to become a physicist. I am extremely excited to begin college at New Mexico State University because I finally have a chance to make my life long dream a reality. I attended Pale Verde High School in Tucson, Arizona. I graduated with a 4.04 GPA. My hard work earned me the class rank of 6 out of 296 people. During high school, I was very active in the marching band.
As a senior, I held the position of Drum Major. Through this experience, I learned a great deal about leadership-a skill I will need through out life. I was also President of Palo Verde's Academic Decathlon Team and the National Honor Society. These activities taught me the importance of an active, creative mind. Now that I have graduated, I will use these experiences in college to achieve my goal of becoming a physicist. Ultimately, I want to become a cosmologist so that I can study the past, present and ultimate future of the universe. The scholarship that I have received from the American Physical Society will help me do just that.

Asthma-Like Symptoms but Not Asthma
I was diagnosed with Asthma three years ago. Have had seveal trips to the emergancy room and hospital stays annually. None of my asthma medicines worked from Asmanex to Advair to liquid inhalants (Pulimcort/Proformist). All my lung function tests are excellent, yet I still have shortness of breath, some coughing, and no wheezing. Finally took the asthma test and I don`t have asthma! I have been to a Pulmonary doctor for heart tests, all normal. I have an asthma and allergy doctor, and an interventary pulmonary doctor. I was taken off all asthma meds except singulair. Currently have a VQ scan scheduled. Is there anything else I can do?
There are other conditions in the differential diagnosis of asthma that might need to be investigated including vocal cord dysfunction, gastroesophageal reflux, cardiac problems, upper respiratory problems (i.e., sinusitis, non-allergic rhinitis) and anxiety. All of these issues should be addressed in the diagnosis of your condition.

FBRM has been used to track changes in size, count and shape of particles in-process since 1986. However, under certain conditions, results can be hard to interpret. Chord length measurements can be sensitive to surface roughness, "splitting" chord lengths to indicate particles are smaller than they actually are. Likewise, particles stuck to the optical window can cause unexpected distribution peaks. Finally, at high concentrations, particle proximity can reduce precision. These issues can impede a user's ability to correct for critical process parameters such as particle size or degree of nucleation.
The FBRM G Series, which includes G400 and G600, alleviates these issues as shown in three distinct, real-world experiments. First, "Higher Resolution and Greater Accuracy to Fine Particles, Coarse Particles, and Bimodal Distributions," explores how accurate chord length distribution information enables more intuitive data analysis. "Detect and Correct for Particles Stuck to the Probe Window " illustrates how correcting for particles that do not move or change enhances statistical consistency. Optics and signal processing advancements that create narrower, more accurate measuring zones at high concentrations are reviewed in "Higher Sensitivity in Concentrated Particle Systems."
Each of these experiments illuminate how next-generation FBRM technology enhances resolution, accuracy and sensitivity, providing a more precise understanding of inline particle systems and speeding up process optimization. To review the experiments, or for additional detail on how FBRM G Series is creating a paradigm shift in inline particle measurement, download a copy of the white paper free at www.mt.com/fbrmgseries.

Diamond Select Toys reveals a behind-the-scenes look at Li'l Red, a reimagining of the storybook heroine Little Red Riding Hood. Originally planned to be part of a modernized fairy tale line, Li'l Red now finds herself part of DST's new Femme Fatales series of approximately 8 inch tall PVC statues. Pictured is a look at the original concept sketch, Sam Greenwell's sculpt (pictured above) and Kat Sapene's finishing paint work (below). Li'l Red follows in the footsteps of previously revealed Femme Fatales beauties, including Dawn (slated for release in May) and Tarot (June).
