The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Rek'Sai with this build
|Pre-6 she could possibly kill you if you do not play it right but typically you will win a duel with her. Post 6 her only upper hand is her ulti, if she misses she has no capabilities of taking you out (1v1). Be careful in teamfights though, she can initiate a fight and if the team follows up you will most likely die in a half of a second.
|She has burst but no sustain. Plus you have vision on her when in tunnel mode.
Hello, my IGN is Dachinamann. As a jungler, I main Rek Sai, Vi, Udyr, Trundle, and Amumu. The reason I have made this guide is because I have found this build to be rather effective in all stages of the game. Most Rek Sai builds I have found are similar to mine yet they lack the major difference. The Devourer enchantment. With this, you can unleash your Q's faster and the hydra procs. I am not a high ranked player but I believe this build is pretty solid.
Pros and Cons
The Pros are:
- Strong lane presence
- Strong dragon and baron presence
- Incredible camp clear and wave clear
- Good ganks and counter jungling
- Burrowed vision is very beneficial to you and your team
- Highly mobile
- Teleport as an ultimate
- E does true damage with full fury
The Cons are:
- Burrow vision can be an issue at times
- Lacks a damage dealing ultimate
- susceptible to hard CC
- lacks CC aside from her knockup
Jungling and Ganking
Early Game
I usually start with grump to set up for a gank down bot or mid on my second rotation. First rotation is usually Grump (Smite) > Blue > Wolves > Red (Smite) > Raptors and then recall. Take the route down to bot lane and in the mean time, look for a opportunity for a gank at mid lane or bot lane. If there are none, either take the dragon scuttle and continue jungling or venture into the enemy jungle. Whichever way you take, roam up top after you pick up raptors (Smite) and then pick up the scuttle there as well. When you are getting the scuttle crabs make sure you use your knock up, you will kill it faster due to it registering as hard CC. If all lanes are good or you have done a gank or two, recall and pick up a Vision Ward. Place it near the mid lane river bushes and prepare for dragon. Usually I'll take 3-5 pots at this time to make sure I can solo it and if anything happens, I can abandon it or kill the enemy jungler before resuming the dragon slaying.
Mid Game
During this time, you should have your Devourer, Homeguards, and atleast a Tiamat. Gank lanes that are yield the most rewards and help out the lanes that need it. I typically don't counter jungle unless 2/3 lanes are winning hard. In teamfights, wait for your front line to go in or once they engage, dive into one of the two positions:
1.) Knock up the most enemies you can and do your aoe damage. You may or may not die but you'll be a thorn in the side and sets up for a good initiation or counter engagement. Even saving your carries!
2.) Dive into the back line and kill off the squishies. Knock up, Q (3 times) > Activate Hydra/Tiamat > E.
This is the time where you should be roaming from lane to lane, helping everyone you can and making plays. Grab jungle camps in transitions. During this time, it should only take 5-10sec to clear at max.
End Game
Your role in the end game is to follow up on your teammates and picking off squishies. If they are already dead/being dived on by an assassin/figher that can handle himself, then help out the front line. Always stay in burrowed and keep the burrowed vision passive up for your team. ALWAYS have tunnels up! Bot lane, Mid lane, and Top lane, or in between them should have atleast 1 tunnel. This allows you to fall back to clean up creeps from pushing a tower or to run away after a failed engagement. The strongest part of this build for Rek is diving in, doing your Q burst in a quick manner, and basically using your knock up to its full advantage. If you are low hp, go clear some waves or camps to regen. Her sustain is incredible and allows for prolonged laning. Her strongest advantage is being everywhere. Use this as the tip of your kit and you will win. As a team fight breaks out, tunnel in from a flank and split the attention of the carries to you. With ur high burst and sustain, you will usually win. If not, give enough time for your team to breakdown their front line.

The UFC has announced through its official website that Rashad Evans (15-0-1) will be fighting Michael Bisping (15-0) at UFC 78 on Nov. 17 in Newark, NJ.
It had been anticipated that Bisping's and Evans' next fights would both be rematches. UFC president Dana White indicated after Bisping's controversial decision victory over Matt Hamill at UFC 75 in early September that he was working on a rematch. White also said that Evans would rematch Tito Ortiz soon after their draw at UFC 73 in July.
The website has indicated that eight other matches will be announced but made no mention as to whether Bisping vs. Evans will be signed as the card's main event.
Matches between Karo Parisyan vs. George Lombard, Frankie Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher, Ryo Chonan vs. Thiago Alves, David Terrell vs. Ed Herman, Akihiro Gono vs. Tamdan McCrory, and Joe Lauzon vs. Jason Reinhardt are expected to be officially announced for UFC 78.

A particular detail from last night's GOP U.S. Senate primary debate worth revisiting, as the Durango Herald's Joe Hanel caught but apparently no other press coverage did:
Buck, Hill and Stephens all said they supported the personhood amendment on the 2012 ballot, which would have declared that human life begins at conception – a legal change that would lead to bans on abortion and many forms of birth control.
We also noted the answer to this question in our debate live blog.
To be clear, the question was actually in error from the moderators of the Denver Post, as the "Personhood" abortion ban ballot measure didn't actually make the 2012 ballot. In 2012, the "Personhood" initiative was disqualified by Secretary of State Scott Gessler for want of the necessary petition signatures. The last time this initiative appeared on the statewide Colorado ballot was in 2010 as Amendment 62, where it failed by just over 70% of the vote.
Neither the Denver Post, which hosted last night's debate, nor the Associated Press or the Colorado Springs Gazette mentioned that all three principal Republican primary candidates for the U.S. Senate all support the "Personhood" abortion ban. Given the pivotal role this issue has played in previous elections, and the controversy the "Personhood" initiative has generated within the Republican Party, that's astonishing to us. It may not hurt during the Republican primary to endorse a total ban on abortion, but in the general election, this is a massive liability. We'll say it again: Colorado has been a pro-choice state for years, with polling showing that trend growing every year. Recall that Ken Buck tried to flip-flop away from support for "Personhood" toward the end of his 2010 campaign for U.S. Senate, which he has now reversed again by re-endorsing it in 2014. Amy Stephens undercuts her claim to be more electable than Buck or Hill by endorsing this hugely unpopular initiative.
The last few elections in Colorado are littered with failed GOP candidates who ran aground at least in part over "Personhood"–either angering anti-abortion activists by not embracing it, or the rest of the electorate by doing so. Last night made it clear again that this albatross is still very much wrapped around the Republican Party's neck.

Two record-setting, defense-shredding playmakers are the focal points for Sunday's Long Island Class I championship game between East Meadow and Floyd at Stony Brook's LaValle Stadium.
Can the Jets (9-2) slow down Stacey Bedell? Can the Colonials (10-1) contain Rob Healy? Not likely, based on the circumstantial evidence of the 2011 season.
"To me, Bedell is the best running back on Long Island," East Meadow coach Vinny Mascia said. "You never know where he's going. He's cutting back, completely changing the field. He's 10 times faster than we are. We've got to go to the ball and close him in."
Bedell's breathtaking bounce-and-cut abilities were on display in Sunday's Suffolk I title game, in which Floyd held off Sachem North for the third year in a row, 35-20. Bedell gained 258 yards on 35 carries and scored on runs of 29, 10 and 14 yards.
On the clock-killing, clinching 74-yard drive in the fourth quarter, Bedell twice started to circle right end, found the path clogged, slipped a tackle and cut back, finishing the play with a run around left end. One was for a key third-down conversion; the other produced the game's final touchdown. That was his 35th TD of the season and the school-record 68th of a brilliant three-year varsity career that has produced three consecutive LIC appearances.
Healy is a nimble runner in his own right, but he took the receiving line into the record books Saturday. Two of his three touchdowns in a thrilling 34-33 victory over two-time defending Long Island champion Freeport came on touchdown passes from Dylan Curry on plays covering 63 and 53 yards.
"Healy is very versatile," Floyd coach Paul Longo said. "He's a tough kid, elusive. He can hurt you running with the ball or going out for passes."
Healy has eight scoring receptions among his 36 touchdowns this season, which broke the Nassau County record of 35 set by Freeport's Kevin Allen in 2009. The humble Healy hardly acknowledged the record, saying, "I knew about it at first, but I got so lost in the game I forgot about it."
Defenses can't forget about the quarterbacks in this game, either. Curry completed 4 of 6 passes for 144 yards but was most impressive running the ball. He worked hard for his team-high 76 rushing yards against Freeport -- Healy had 59 -- and picked up big first downs on quarterback keepers.
Similarly, A.J. Otranto came up big for Floyd, hitting Vantrell Nash for touchdown passes of 50 and 26 yards on well-executed post patterns that were the difference in the game. Otranto also has been a force at linebacker since midseason, and he nailed Sachem North's Dalton Crossan four times for losses.
Still, the spotlight will shine brightest on Bedell and Healy, who also are excellent defensive backs and might even wind up in one-on-one scenarios against each other in the open field.
Said Mascia, "They're special players."

Phil wrote:These open schlong (gun) slinging assholes were trying to offend and scare people where open carry is not the social norm.
Very much to the contrary. If anything, they were trying to show people that there was nothing offensive or scary about carrying a gun. I've said it before: if your intent is to offend or scare people, open carry will greatly disappoint you with the results. The great majority of people are neither offended nor scared by it.
I don't consider black people who dared to violate the "social norm" by going in public with a white boyfriend or girlfriend, or who dared to sit at the front of the bus to have been "assholes" for having done so. But it looks like that's your personal standard for assholelry. You might want to think about it a little more.

After a week of light use, I'm still having trouble getting the computer to know whether I mean left click or right click. I still wish they hadn't tried to be clever by having one switch for two buttons, and I still hope they fix this defect in later releases.
I like the usual Apple flat mouse shape. The last few years of orogeny in PC mice has just lead to uncomfortable mice, as far as I can tell.
I like the solid look more than the old "Perspex paperweight" look.
I love the nipple, perhaps because I was bottle-fed.
I keep seeing what I assume is a bug in the new mouse driver. Often – though I've not worked out the exact circumstances – I'll click to give focus to a window, but it won't get focus. It'll come to the front of the window stack, but it won't have the focus. So if I sweep-select some text, it'll sweep out in gray rather than blue. Clicking on stuff doesn't seem to work, either, until you've clicked in another window and then clicked back in the window you'd tried to give focus to.
Google tells me Microsoft still make white-ish scroll-wheel mice without arched backs. Maybe I should try one of them next, even if it means giving up on the nipple.

Two things work against Seattle folk-pop band the Head and the Heart in the eyes of indie-rock's cred police: (1) The band's rise from open-mic jam thing to headliner of big rooms happened quickly, with very little paying of dues in small, smelly clubs. (2) The group's sound—all-in harmonies and friendly handclaps set to the easily digestible strum of acoustic guitars—has about as much edge as a cue ball. But on its self-titled debut album, self-released in 2010 and reissued by Sub Pop in 2011, the Head and the Heart delivered a set of tunes so undeniably catchy that listeners with an ear for well-crafted pop music could only give credit where it was due. Now, the band is back with its second effort, Let's Be Still, which features more melancholic grappling with big questions and life lessons. These new songs don't seem to have quite as much immediate appeal as the band's previous work, but perhaps that's a good thing. BEN SALMON

Daft EU jar rule creates a real pickle
Bad news for the Women's Institute, famous for its jam and Jerusalem and much-copied Calendar Girls calendar featuring naked members shielding their bits with strategically placed cupcakes and pickled preserves.
Their jam jars are under attack. From the European parliament, no less.
Under EU rules (health and safety, naturally) it is apparently now an offence to offer for sale, conserves, jams, chutneys, you name it, in reused jars. Those in breach of rules could be fined - up to £5,000 - or even face jail. Is the law against the distribution of crack cocaine quite so robust?
What a pickle for the WI! Indeed for all those groups that depend on making a bob or two at the annual fundraising fair from homemade gooseberry and blackcurrant.
You'd think, given the state of the euro, Spain and Greece, EU bureaucrats would have more important things to bother themselves with than the provenance of the pot containing a bit of rhubarb and ginger.
Apparently not. And so much for recycling too, boys.
The Westminster minister for jam-pots - or, if you prefer, Environment - is Owen Paterson, late of this parish. Mr Paterson (left) has called for common sense to prevail. But common sense is not so common in Brussels that anyone there has ever had to consider bottling the surplus.
Mr Paterson points out that thus far no one has been prosecuted for poor jamjar management. And it seems that it is permissible to pass on jam in a reused container to family or friends. So long as it's not at a public event.
As for those Calendar Girls preserving their modesty with a cleverly placed pot of pickle.
Expect even more scrutiny of their jamjars.

Courage among comrades
The Quade and Matejka families have crossed paths several times. Both lived in the Evergreen/Toad Lake area with the Matejkas settling in around the time the Quades were leaving. Larry Quade and Curt Matejka both served in the military during the Viet Nam War. Larry and Curt are members of the Frazee VFW Post 7702.
Both men had shown courage in their military careers; Larry as a member of the Navy Seabees and Curt flying reconnaissance missions for the Army. During a VFW meeting on the third Monday of October 2007, that courage surfaced again. With tears in his eyes, Larry made a plea of help for two of his four daughters.
Sandy and Jessie Quade were both on dialysis and both in desperate need of a kidney transplant. Both women's kidney disease had unrelated causes, there was no genetic link, and their other two sisters had full kidney function.
Jessie, who lives in Moorhead, was a transplant recipient eight years ago. The kidney that was donated by an aunt was later rejected.
Three years after Jessie's surgery Sandy was diagnosed with nephritis, had her name added to the kidney transplant list and began dialysis. For two years she got up before dawn three days a week and went to MeritCare Fargo for dialysis. Dialysis treatments usually last four hours. Patients are on severely restricted diets. Larry suggests that if anyone needs an incentive to consider becoming a living kidney donor, a visit to a dialysis unit is in order.
Several Frazee VFW members showed courage by coming forward to find out about possible donation. Curt Matejka began his first round of testing in mid-December. According to Curt, his tests revealed he was "about as close to a perfect match as could be without being related." His testing continued every week. He jokingly refers to the lab technicians as "vampires" and says it seemed as if he had "18 million blood tests." Much of the blood work was done in Perham with renal and CAT scans being performed in Fargo.
Sandy says she was told on Feb. 9 that someone had been testing for a possible match to her. Just four days later she was told to prepare to receive a new kidney by the end of the month. The donation could have been handled anonymously, but Larry set up a meeting between Sandy and Curt. The two talked on the phone and then about two weeks before their surgery, they met - of course at the Frazee VFW.
The meeting began with a hug and neither remembers much talk about the upcoming surgery. Sandy says they mostly talked about their dogs. Curt describes himself as the quiet, shy one and Sandy as talkative and outgoing.
On Feb. 26, the paths of the Quade and Matejka families not only crossed one more time, but became literally stitched together. With Curt's final testing completed, surgery began to remove, cleanse, and transplant one of his kidneys. He remembers the clock at a few minutes past eight a.m. and not again until 11:35 a.m. Sandy's surgery began at 11:30 a.m. Three hours later, Curt's donated kidney was functioning in her body.
Curt was able to walk down the hall later that day to check on Sandy. He says the first thing he noticed was the return of color to her face - then the smile and energy. She called him the following day to let him know everything was OK. Curt left the hospital just three days after the surgery. Sandy says she was walking around the day after surgery and was only in the hospital for six days.
Curt returned to work on a limited basis within weeks of the surgery. He needs to be careful with lifting, turning and twisting, but has no dietary restrictions. He should be fully recovered within three months from the operation. He is now back to work full time as a master electrician at JC Electric in Perham. He says his bosses there, Craig Peterson and Bob Kalina, have been "super".
Sandy says she sometimes feels as if she lives at MeritCare. She sees her physician every-other week. Right now she has blood work once a week; at six months the tests go to monthly and then taper off. Those blood tests found early signs of rejection the week after her surgery, but a change in medication quickly resolved the issue. Sandy will be taking three prescription medications for the rest of her life. According to the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network, anti-rejection/ immune-suppressant medications cost an average of $2,500 per month.
Curt says he has always had his organ donor card filled out and "unless something said I couldn't, I was going to do this." Even though he could have backed out at any point right up to the surgery, he says he was "never at a point where I'd say 'no, I'm not doing it'." He describes his part in the transplant as a wonderful experience; "something I'll always remember. I wish more people would check into it. Helping somebody is tremendously easy to do."
Larry also encourages people to check out the possibility of becoming a living donor; to just get the information and see what is involved. "These things can make such a difference in someone's life. It's a small price to pay for doing a big thing."
Sandy learned from her little sister Jessie about kidney disease, dialysis, and transplant surgery. She says she "learned to cope with whatever was thrown at her." She knew it "was either going to go one of two ways." She was never afraid, she put everything in perspective, made peace, and knew she was moving forward.
According to TransplantLiving, there are emotional costs for those waiting for a donor. "Waiting for a transplant is a difficult experience for patients and their families. That's because it may be long and stressful because of the uncertainties about whether and when a suitable donor organ will become available. In addition, facing the reality of a serious illness, fearing what is involved and dealing with complex medical information can seem overwhelming."
For people on dialysis and on the transplant waiting list, Sandy advises, "Hang in there; keep your hopes up; stay strong." About people who think they may want to become a living donor she says, "It's a chance for them to give a gift of life to someone."
Less than a month after their transplant surgery, Curt Matejka and Sandy Quade met again at the Frazee VFW Post 7702. Sandy says she felt like a new person and Curt was rewarded to see the change in her. Every year on Feb. 26, the two will meet to share a meal and celebrate their stitched together paths.
Meanwhile, Jessie Quade courageously goes to dialysis treatments and waits for the donor who will be the right match for her.
Larry Quade and Curt Matejka may be reached by contacting the VFW Post 7702 at 218-334-5251.
Living donor info:
Individuals considered for living donation are usually between 18 and 60 years of age. Gender, race, age, income, or celebrity status are not factors in determining a successful match.
All potential donors must be genuinely willing to donate, physically fit, in good general health; and free from diabetes, cancer, kidney disease and heart disease.
Living donors include siblings, parents, adult children, spouses, cousins, aunts and uncles, close friends and anonymous good Samaritans.
Although transplantation is highly successful, complications for the donor and recipient can arise.
Living donation does not change life expectancy for the donor. For more complete information, visit or contact:

Organ transplant facts:
-Each day, about 77 people receive organ transplants. However, 19 people die each day waiting for transplants that can't take place because of the shortage of donated organs.
-More than 2,500 people on the transplant list live in the upper Midwest.
-A new name is added to the transplant waiting list every 13 minutes.
-As of March 31, 2008 98,634 people were on the national waiting list for an organ transplant.
-44 percent of transplanted organs are from living donors.
-Organs supplied by living donors may include kidney, liver segment, lung lobe, intestine portion, and pancreas portion.
-Kidneys are the most common organ donated by living donors.
-The first successful living donor transplant was performed between 23-year-old identical twins in 1954. Doctor Joseph E. Murray and associates at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (now Brigham and Women's Hospital) in Boston, Massachusetts, transplanted a healthy kidney from Ronald Herrick into his twin brother, Richard, who had chronic kidney failure. Richard went on to live an active, normal life, dying eight years later from causes unrelated to the transplant. Still alive over fifty years since the transplant, Ronald is a retired math teacher from Maine.
-For the recipient, costs in the first year following a kidney transplant average $226,400. The cost of anti-rejection medications is about $2,500 per month.
-A donor's medical costs and required postoperative care are usually covered by the recipient's insurance.
-Living donors may receive state and federal tax deductions for their expenses.
-In the United States there are about 6,500 living kidney donors each year.
-Fargo MeritCare has performed 500 kidney transplants since the beginning of their program in 1989.

a pioneer in endpoint security and compliance solutions, today
announced the results of a survey of IT security professionals which
found that endpoint security solutions today are lacking and don't
provide protections or detections adequate for today's security
The survey found that only 39% of companies have advanced endpoint
security protections in place even though 74% consider endpoints to be
"most vulnerable" to a cyber-attack, and 76% say the number of endpoints
is rising. In addition, 58% of respondents said traditional anti-virus
defenses no longer address advanced targeted threats and only 19%
believe they will play a vital role in the future.
The survey found that 70% of IT professionals are either 'highly' or
'moderately' concerned about a potential security breach in the next
year but only 32% say they are 'well prepared' for a cyber-attack.
74% of respondents consider endpoints, such as desktops, laptops and
mobile devices, to be the "most vulnerable" part of the network. Case in
point, only 32% of companies said they were able to complete Microsoft (News - Alert)
patch updates in less than a week even though these updates play a key
role eliminating known vulnerabilities. Moreover, 34% said it took up to
a month, 19% said it took over a month and 14% "never" achieved full
rollout of updates. In spite of these endpoint security challenges, only
30% have a dedicated endpoint security budget.
More than half of respondents said there is a bigger need for SIEM
and/or advanced threat detection and correlation systems to have deeper
endpoint analytics. The respondents categorized it as 'very important'
as endpoints are a common attack point and monitoring these points of
entry are vital to identifying an attack and taking steps toward
A majority of VP and C-Level IT leaders surveyed indicated a heightened
fear of a security breach in the coming year and acknowledged a rapidly
shifting security landcape, which now includes endpoint security.
"The security landscape continues to evolve in response to a new breed
of more complex and sophisticated threats, where traditional blocking
and prevention mechanisms, such as firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware
software, are simply no longer enough to keep our networks safe," said
Dan Ross, CEO of Promisec. "Our survey indicates that companies have
begun to embrace endpoint security as a critical part of their total
security portfolio, but have yet to adopt a robust endpoint monitoring
and remediation infrastructure to address today's most severe threats."
Companies Struggle to Keep Pace with Advanced Targeted Threats
Survey Methodology
The survey was conducted between June 1, 2014, and June 16, 2014, and
reflects responses from over 150 IT decision makers including senior
management, security managers, directors, and network and systems

Also, the need for it is questionable if we were to allow polymorphic components and newtype deriving. if your data acts differently then it should be a different type with a newtype and derive all the properties where it acts the same. if you want to do different things to the same data then packaging them up as values in a record with polymorphic components makes perfect sense and is more functional in nature.

Rainbow Six: Siege Preview: Every second counts
It's been six years since the last installment of the Rainbow Six franchise. Ubisoft's big reveal may not have been what many expected, but it gave us a glimpse at the upcoming multiplayer-focused, team-based tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.
Rainbow Six puts the multiplayer element first in Siege and relies heavily on team planning and coordination to win. During the gameplay demo, we were placed in a 5v5 hostage rescue scenario as either a member of the Rainbow Operative attempting to save the hostage or an Enemy trying to hold your ground. It's a case of breach vs fortify; and every decision counts.
At the start of the round, the Enemy team coordinates to reinforce walls and barricade windows and doorways to limit access to the hostage. All the while the Rainbow team scouts the area with remote drones to find where the hostage is being held, and observes the enemy team's actions to find the weakest defense point to breach.
Once the set timer runs out, the real challenge begins. Enemies might set up shields to hide during fire, or cycle through the cameras in house to identify the Rainbow's location in the house. Rainbows will need to breach walls or rappel into the house to gain access to the hostage. Regardless of which side you play, team communication is your strongest asset. The responsibilities of each team are simple and straightforward.
The most delightful aspect of the demo shown was the very destructible environment in Siege. Want to shoot holes in the wall to gain viewpoints or break a wall to make your own makeshift doorway? In this game, you absolutely can. Build the wall up, tear the wall down. The wall creates a stronghold and it's up to your team on how to utilize it.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege is expected to release sometime in 2015 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Oratorical champ shares winning insight
At the beginning of the 73rd National High School Oratorical Scholarship Program last Saturday, Tori Beth Black from Iva, S.C., was standing alongside 52 other students from across the country to compete for the same goal - the National Oratorical championship title and an $18,000 college scholarship. But after winning her way through three rounds of intense competition, Black was the last one of the contestants standing at the end of the program Sunday.
Through her vast knowledge on the U.S. Constitution, family books and words of wisdom from a brother studying law, Black wrote and presented an oration that set her apart from the other contestants, and spoke successfully on Article 5 for the assigned topic discourse. These two detailed speeches, along with many other characteristics Black possess, helped crown the home-schooled high school junior as the 73rd National Oratorical champion. Click here to listen to Black's winning oration, "A Rising Sun," and click here to listen to her assigned topic discourse speech.
After numerous cheers, congratulations and hugs following her win, Black spoke with The American Legion to share her excitement and oration preparation.

Ablynx announced that its partner, Boehringer Ingelheim, has dosed the first healthy volunteers in a Phase 1 clinical trial as part of the evaluation of a Nanobody for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The start of the Phase 1 study triggers a milestone payment of €5 million to Ablynx.
The Phase 1 study involves a single-center, partially randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single ascending doses of intravenous and subcutaneous injections with the Nanobody in healthy subjects. The trial is expected to recruit 80 healthy volunteers and results are anticipated during H2 2014.
Dr. Edwin Moses, chairman and CEO of Ablynx, commented: "We are very pleased that Boehringer Ingelheim has dosed the first healthy volunteers as part of our collaboration in Alzheimer's disease which we started in 2007. The nanobody's progress into the clinic demonstrates their belief in its potential as a valuable treatment option for patients suffering from this complex disease for which no adequate drugs are currently available. It is the second of Ablynx's partnered programs that has entered clinical development this year and further enhances our pipeline, which now contains seven Nanobody products at clinical development stage."
In January 2007, Boehringer Ingelheim and Ablynx announced a worldwide research and licensing agreement to discover and develop new therapies for Alzheimer's disease using Ablynx's Nanobodies against a single disease target. The collaboration has a potential value of $265 million in upfront and milestone payments plus undisclosed royalties on product sales. Boehringer Ingelheim is solely responsible for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of any products resulting from the collaboration.

Washington 21, Aztecs 12
On the last play of the third quarter Saturday night, San Diego State quarterback Ryan Katz was under great duress, surrounded by purple jerseys.
Katz somehow escaped, broke to his left and raced 32 yards to the Washington 32. It was San Diego State's longest offensive play in an otherwise anemic offensive showing that ended with a 21-12 Aztecs loss in the season opener.
Get used to Katz freelancing with his legs to create something out of nothing. It might happen a lot this season.
SDSU's young offensive line showed it will have to improve considerably to give the Aztecs attack any chance for success, and it didn't create a lot of confidence against a Huskies defense that was obviously improved, but coming off a horrible '11 season.
Katz rarely stood in the pocket without being hurried, was sacked four times, and he completed only 10 of 19 passes for 128 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also lost the ball on a fumble on a sack in the fourth quarter.
Fittingly, Katz was running to the end, carrying the ball out of bounds as time ran out. Overall, he ran 16 times for 77 yards, only nine yards fewer than the team's leading rusher, Walter Kazee.
Scrambling is not what Katz is hoping to show NFL scouts in his final season after transferring from Oregon State.
"At times, those (receivers) were covered," Katz said. "(Washington) was dropping eight (players). At times, the protection was a little shaky. And at times, I saw open field and saw I could get a first down."
Aztecs head coach Rocky Long said he thought Katz did have enough time.
"I thought most of the time he had significant time to find an open receiver, so maybe there weren't many open receivers," Long said. "I don't know. I thought (Katz) did a nice job of scrambling, and I thought he did a nice job of picking up some first downs.
"He made a couple of really nice throws, too."
Led by second-year starter Keith Price, who was 17-for-21 for 146 yards in the first half, Washington scored on its first two possessions of the game and rolled to 220 yards before halftime to take a 14-6 lead. But then SDSU's defense toughened, and Washington – which averaged 33 points per game last season -- managed only 108 yards while being held scoreless in the second half.
For the game, Price was 25 of 35 for 222 yards while finding nine different receivers.
The touchdown that gave the Huskies' a nine-point cushion came when SDSU receiver Colin Lockett fumbled at the SDSU 44 and safety Will Shamburger picked it up and ran in for the score with 10:13 left in the third quarter.
SDSU had three turnovers total, with Katz throwing an interception on the game's first drive and fumbling on his own 31 in the fourth quarter.
"We showed some toughness in the second half," Long said. "I thought that a team that's not mentally tough would have given up; the score could have got bad.
"I was disappointed with the turnovers in the first half, and I was very disappointed in the way the defense played (in the first half). For an experienced group, experienced linebackers, we made a lot of mental errors and weren't playing aggressively."
The Aztecs continued a troubling trend of slow starts from last season.
"To tell you the truth, I have no idea why we start off slow," said linebacker Jake Fely. "We need to improve on that. We need to start fast and finish fast."
Late in the game, SDSU had a chance to put the game in doubt, but Long passed on a field goal attempt for a fourth-down play at the Washington 9, and Katz followed with an incomplete pass in the end zone.
Washington scored touchdowns on its first two drives in the first 12:25, with Price completing 11 of his 12 passes for 88 yards and spreading it around to four different receivers.
The first scoring drive was set up when Katz threw an interception directly to Washington's Tre Watson, who returned it to the Aztecs' 35. Lockett was the only SDSU receiver near the ball, and it looked like either the quarterback or receiver misread the play.
Washington scored eight plays later, with Bishop Sankey running in from 2 yards.
On the Aztecs' next drive, a sack of Katz on third down forced a punt, and Washington drove 62 yards in nine plays, with Price going 7-for-7, including an 8-yard score to Kasen Williams.
Washington produced a couple of big plays just before the half, but sabotaged itself with an offensive pass interference that negated a 38-yard gain and an illegal block that brought back a long run by Price.
The Aztecs had a chance to gain some early momentum when Brandon Wright returned the game's opening kickoff 51 yards to the Washington 40. But with backup quarterback Adam Dingwell lined up in shotgun formation on first down at the 28, a bad snap bad snap led to a 12-yard loss before Katz threw his first interception as an Aztec on the next play.
Just before the end of the first quarter, Kazee sparked SDSU's offense by rushing for 34 yards on three straight plays. It was then that the Aztecs used trickery to get their first touchdown of the season.
As the new quarter started, reserve wide receiver Tim Vizzi came on the field late near the Aztecs sideline, and when no Husky picked him up, Vizzi was alone when Katz delivered a quick pass. The speedy walk-on from Ventura College easily raced down the sideline for a score to make it 14-6.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Catching a Craigslist Criminal
This is a true story (and now available as Episode 5 of Season 2's Karma's a B*tch). He may someday read this and remember where I live, so I tell this story with a non-zero risk to my personal safety. That said, it's a story worth telling because it may be the closest I will come to being a detective/super-hero in my lifetime.
The Meet
In the late summer of 2007, my relationship was well-past the point of coming apart at the seams, and just a few weekends past his move-out date. It was clear to me that an all-encompassing project was just the cure for heartbreak. One of the main frustrations had been my partner's disinterest in home improvement projects. I decided I would take an ambitious, independent leap in that direction.
First off, and least recommended, I did not ask my coworkers or friends for recommendations. My home-owning friends were (are?) generally wealthier people with more valuable homes and gardens. I was willing to cut a few corners if it meant being able to get all the renovations completed with the newly approved loan.
Instead, I kept an eye out in local newspapers and scraped the Craigslist "skill'd trade" section for options. Several bidders projected costs where I would have to make choices between knocking out the wall and replacing the countertops. The final bidder was an Irish-American Southern gentleman who offered intelligent reasons to skip the wall-knocking in favor of other small projects which would add greater value to my modest condo. He spoke as only a carpenter would. His contractor's license number checked out as clean.
There were subtle warning signs I chose to ignore. He didn't take exact measurements. His proposal for addressing my full wishlist came in just under my budget. Any day could be the first day of this new project. My excitement stifled my concerns. I signed the contract and gave him a standard 10% retainer or $2,500.
We started shopping for kitchen cabinets and hardwood flooring together. He would tour me from store to store patiently explaining the pros and cons between different materials. At each stop he would open the door for me as we entered a shop (not so strange), but then he would also open the truck door when we returned as only a Southern Gentleman would. I wasn't about to get in a huff over a polite gesture. On perhaps the third weekend of such excursions, I found the bamboo cabinets of my dreams. The problem was of course, the price. Coincidently, the store offered contractors a significantly discounted price. He offered so kindly to purchase the cabinets for me with the steep discount. I eagerly signed over $6000.
The Con
"Lets get dinner to celebrate finding the cabinets! We can go over the upcoming plans for installation and the rest of the construction." he said. I imagined a pizza, and our evening spent etching possibilities all over the cardboard box. He arrived on Sunday evening dressed in a button-up shirt, presenting flowers in one hand and wine in a gift bag in the other. I began to panic, but realized quickly a feigned romantic interest was the better option.Over a few glasses of wine, and a few over-shares on his part, I realized there was a part of me that felt sympathetic towards his abusive childhood. However, I made no offer to pay, and when he dropped me home he thankfully played the gentleman's part by leaving.
I waited to hear from him. On Tuesday evening he texts, "Would you like to go to San Diego with me?". I reply "Let me have the night to think about it." A day later I write him an email explaining that I am unprepared to consider any sort of romantic involvement and would like to keep the relationship professional. I receive no reply.
A day later, I gingerly crafted another note attempting to assure him I intended no embarrassment. It's interesting how written language becomes far more placating when the reader has significant leverage. I hoped we could go our separate ways if he agreed to return the money. No reply.
With that dreaded sense of forced confrontation, I call the next morning. The number is no longer connected. I reverse-look-up the address for his company only to discover it is a church. The company existed but the man I was in contract with did not have any affiliation with the company. The smoke, the mirrors. I spent a pretty-penny tracing phone numbers and possible relatives across a handful of find-anyone sites. Each trickle of a lead led to a dead end. It became clear I had been duped for $8500.
The Chase
As I came to face the reality that I would be on the hook for repaying the loan to the bank for the next couple of years, I started looking for ways to seek justice. I had no budget for a lawyer, and no family members who qualified. The police would not help for lack of a criminal mugging, theft or something of a physical altercation. I filed all the necessary paperwork to prosecute in small claims court, but the system relies on being able to serve the accused a copy via a 3rd party courier— an impossible task for the Ghost I was chasing. Finally, there existed a sliver of a possibility my case would be chosen by the Contractor's License Board for representation by the SF District Attorney's office.
Six months passed. My small claims documents lay unserved, and the Contractor's license board remained undecided. All fronts were at a stalemate.
The Lead
By chance, and a bit of loneliness, I found myself browsing the Craigslist personals. I had long since given up the fantasy of meeting anyone of high caliber, but browsing continued to prove an entertaining pasttime. Dolores Park, complicated, and exploring the city were all classic ad mentions, but "Southern gentleman" and a photo of the Target sporting a grown-in beard gave it away. This was my chance.
I bought a "burner". Yes, it was around this time I had blown through all 5 seasons of The Wire. Six of my male friends of largest stature were invited to join me at a bar across from Farley's in Potrero Hill. The fake photos I sent of myself, and the short conversation delivered in a higher pitch seemed to entice the Con Artist enough to enjoy a coffee. We practiced the serving of papers, alongside rehearsing our best 'You've been served' acts. Beers were drunk. Necks were craned. Calls were made. More beers were drunk. At some point, Goat Hill Pizza seemed the sensible end to such a disappointing night.
The Lineup
Another few months rolled by without incidence. My floors had since been installed and the place repainted. A lesser choice of installed cabinets reminded me daily of my first choice.
A phone rings. The woman who heard my case from the Contractor's License Board is interested in gathering more details. In a blink, I'm in the office identifying Romeo from a lineup of driver's licenses. I stack my paper trail on her desk complete with every text and correspondence (or attempt), his dating profile and the even more recent ad for tennis partners. She casually mentions this sly Crim has ripped off a number of folks in the Bay Area over the years, but they have never had enough evidence to prosecute.
The prospect is confirmed just weeks later. The case will be officially represented by the San Francisco District Attorney's office. I receive a 50ft. restraining order in the post; apparently this man has a bit of a violent streak. Within weeks I receive a call from Attorney Evan Ackiron informing me of the good fortune; Our suspect was picked up on other (domestic violence) charges in Marin and was officially charged for misrepresenting himself as a licensed Contractor. As a first-time offender, he received the option of posting bail for $60,000.
Bail 101: Man receives option of bail, Bondsman agrees Man is an acceptable risk, Bondsman promises Court to pay Man's bail. If Man appears in Court, Court does not collect on Bondsman's promise, Man pays Bondsman a cut. If Man does not appear in court, Bondsman pays full amount to court, then embarks on a bounty hunt. Our Accused managed to post bail immediately with a co-signer posting her property as collateral. I'll give you a hint: a bounty hunt ensues.
The Disappearance
It was just a month before the hearing. It was just a month and day until I heard he hadn't appeared for the hearing. Prior to this bail-skipping, the D.A. was convinced our Thief was a bit of a novice who would receive lenient sentencing, given his lack of a previous record. Now that the Slime had managed to slither away, he would face harsher judgement, though the chance of finding him was drastically diminished. Police enforcement for Californian matters ended at the California border.
Searching for virtual breadcrumbs became my part-time tick. A google here, a sweep of Craigslist there, a few D.N.S. lookups of suspicious construction sites when time allowed. Every few months I would find a blip on the radar, but typically it lead to nothing. Except, when it did.
I discovered two key pieces of the puzzle around the same time. The first was a new alias he had begun to adopt. A domain surfaced as registered to his real driver's license name, but he would portray himself under a specific pseudonym offering construction services with the same old pitches. I dutifully reported this new information to the District Attorney's office, but without a lead on a location, they were loathe to spend more time and resources on the case.
The second was a handful of personal accounts on RipoffReport from others he had victimized. The stories were almost identical to mine, although in some cases he had begun the demolition and left homeowners in a less livable situation. There were no more clues here, but one thing caught my eye. The company that posted his bail left a comment voicing their interest in any information related to this case.
The Hunt
My meticulous collection of breadcrumbs now provided useful background to the fresh eyes of this Bounty Hunter. Together we reviewed all the interactions and the recent possibility he was masquerading as a new persona. It seemed this new alias led back to a man who was a good friend of our Criminal. The Friend realized an old driver's license had gone missing recently. Bounty Hunter's notes, combined with my evidence of his name being exercised unknowingly, made the Friend aware that the Thief didn't share the same definition of friendship he understood.
With only the slightest persuasion, the Friend was convinced to make a call under the pretense of wanting to pay a visit. Arizona was the answer.
The Bounty Hunter rings me. He had driven out to Arizona overnight. He had camped outside the home all-day awaiting movement. A vehicle pulled up to the address just after workday hours. A petite Asian woman greets the Man at the door. The Man matches the photos. My voyeuristic side wishes I could have watched the confrontation unfold. The Bounty Hunter is greeted at the door by the Asian woman, wearing a wedding ring. It becomes clear she speaks not a word of English. Once the Crim understands the situation he calls for his wife to calm down (unsuccessfully) in English. The Bounty Hunter is calling me en route back to San Francisco with our Escapist secured in the back of the van.
The Sentence
In the time since San Francisco, our Antagonist had commited a Federal crime in Nevada, 3 distinct cases of scamming reached the courts in Saratoga, and finally another case from San Francisco. Federal court received priority, Saratoga followed, and San Francisco would be last. I had the opportunity to attend his hearing, but dreaded the idea of connecting eyes across a court room. He would have years in jail to wonder whether I had anything to do with being found. As it turns out, if you are planning to commit several crimes, it's best to commit them all before you stand trial to face the accusations all at once. This way, it is more likely you'll receive a deal for time served. Each of the five cases similar to mine would have cost him two years each. In total, a deal was struck to serve 5 years, including his federal offense which remains a mystery. It crossed my mind there was a woman in Arizona who would be quite lost in the world for at least 5 years.
The Aftermath
He's been released for just under a year now. One of the Ripoff reports has been updated to include a lengthy personal reply claiming the incident was an exception to his typically high standard of professionalism. The con seems it will continue.
I have a debt owed with compounding interest due anytime he cleans up his act and attempts to earn taxable income. Yes, I'll be waiting for the day the Bastard tires of the chase and finds the honest, hard-working lifestyle suits him. Unless, of course, I can find proof he owns assets that may be liquidated. The superhero in me would like to see justice fully served.
If I do ever tire of start-up T-shirts, the tights-and-cape option exists. At the conclusion of the sentencing 6 years ago, Evan Ackiron personally extended an open-ended offer to explore career possibilities with the SF District Attorney's office. I recall the opportunity each time I browse the "ETC" jobs section.

MIAMI {AP} A federal grand jury reportedly is considering criminal charges against American Airlines following a two-year investigation into its acceptance of hazardous cargo.
The case stems from an incident in October 1997 when passengers had to evacuate from an American Airlines plane at Miami International Airport because an illegal shipment of 500 pounds of a toxic pesticide broke open while being loaded as cargo, The Miami Herald and The New Yorker reported.
American Airlines referred questions to its attorney, Rebekah Poston, who did not return a telephone call on Saturday.
The legal limit for such shipments is 2.2 pounds, The New Yorker reports in its Nov. 15 issue.
The incident came during a federal crackdown on dangerous cargo that followed the 1996 ValuJet crash, which was blamed on a fire produced by an illegal shipment of oxygen generators.
The airline has repeatedly said it was cooperating with federal authorities. Even before 60 federal agents raided its Miami cargo terminal and offices for documents on hazardous materials three weeks after the pesticide spill. The seized documents revealed almost a complete lack of control and security for excess baggage and unmarked cargo, the Herald said.
"It's permissible to fly toxic materials. The problem with American is that it was not complying with the federal regulations," an investigator told the Herald.

THEN & NOW: 18 Actresses Who Played Iconic Superheroes And Villains
Ever since Jennifer Lawrence stepped into the role of Katniss Everdeen in 2012's "The Hunger Games" the number of strong, independent superheroines has exploded on the big screen.
Amy Adams and Emma Stone's portrayals of Lois Lane ("Man of Steel") and Gwen Stacy ("The Amazing Spider-Man") are a far cry from damsels in distress.
In 2015, Elizabeth Olsen will join Marvel's "Avengers" sequel as the Scarlet Witch, while Gal Gadot gears up as the new Wonder Woman in the big "Batman / Superman" movie.
But they weren't the first to bring famous comic characters to life on screen.
*Note: We are aware Lois Lane, Gwen Stacy, and Mary Jane aren't technically superheroines, but their characters are too iconic to leave off the list.

Chemical company BASF SE said Wednesday it is temporarily closing 80 plants worldwide due to slumping demand and cutting production at 100 more, including facilities in Texas and Louisiana. Some 20,000 workers are affected.
It also abandoned its goal to match last year's profit, citing slowing demand for its products, particularly from automotive customers.
BASF shares plunged 14.7 percent to euro21.68 ($27.39) in Frankfurt after the announcement.
BASF spokesman Gareth Rees said the shutdowns and slowdown have already begun and will extend into January. Workers were being encouraged to take vacation time and reduce their overtime.
In a statement, the Ludwigshafen-based maker of everything from fertilizers and paints to glues and ingredients for cosmetics said it was trying to stem any overcapacity at its operations "as a result of a massive decline" in demand.
The measures will affect major plants in Freeport, Texas; Geismar, Louisiana; Ludwigshafen, Germany; Antwerp, Belgium; Nanjing, China; and Kuantan, Malaysia.
"BASF already drew attention to the difficult economic situation at the end of October," Chief Executive Juergen Hambrecht said in a statement. "Since then, customer demand in key markets has declined significantly. In particular, customers in the automotive industry have canceled orders at short notice."
Last year, the company's pretax profit was euro7.6 billion on sales of euro57.9 billion. For 2008, BASF said it doesn't expect to achieve that figure.
Hambrecht said "it was difficult to foresee how the coming year would develop and said that BASF was preparing for tough times."
The company saw its third-quarter earnings fall 38 percent to euro758 million ($959.1 million) from euro1.2 billion a year earlier.
In Ludwigshafen, it signed an agreement with its employee council to take advantage of flex time and vacation there, moves that will affect 5,000 workers.
"We are responding flexibly to market developments and are acting quickly," Hambrecht said. "BASF will now focus even more closely on cost and budget discipline, and will use opportunities arising from the crisis."
He said the moves would not affect its planned 6.1 billion Swiss franc (euro4 billion; $5 billion) acquisition of Switzerland's specialty chemicals firm Ciba, which it hopes to complete by the first quarter of 2009.
"We will also proceed swiftly with the planned acquisition and integration of Ciba to further optimize our business," Hambrecht said.

this place is big... and Prince! I mean, Purple Rain!" That was what
the Grizz guitarist in the cardigan said after two songs. The best thing I
overheard in response was, "Everyone in Minnesota is so over that." It would
have been true of a twenty-one plus show, but there were plenty of eighteen
year-olds who are currently discovering the purple export of Minnesota
flipping out and requesting indie rock covers of that Sexy M.F. For some
reason this all stuck in my head, and when TV's singer gave his obligatory
shout, everything gelled as a weird theme in my head.
"We got here and looked at the stage, saw the lights, it's a little different,
but when we saw Prince's star. I'm sorry I'm sure you're sick of hearing it...
" That makes up for it, kind of, but what really cemented the reparations for
the damage of the one millionth Prince reference from a touring band I've
heard was the fact that this was an incredible show.
The greatest thing a five-piece band can do is to sound like a five piece
band, and the sonic wall bombarding the audience was incredible. Members
served a purpose, which was successfully capturing the dramatic and anthemic
nature of their recorded material while keeping it "live." The charisma of the
lead singer — with his dramatic arm movements punctuating lyrics delivered
with the conviction of a devoted believer in the power of music, coupled with
the impressive falsetto backing vocals of the rhythm guitarist — is an
experience that commands a viewer's attention. Between falsettos and freak-out
shouting, there is a comparison to be drawn between his royal Prince-ness,
begging the question of what it would sound like if contemporary indie rock
were substituted for the funk, soul and sex of Purple Rain-era Prince.
As for Grizzly Bear, their opportunity to be the supporting band for such a
strong act should prove very beneficial. To be honest, I was somewhat non-plussed
by the milque-toast delivery of this low-key four piece, but the intellectual
aspect of this hipster-pandering indie group was intriguing enough to make me
want to spend some time with their recorded material. The drums, in
particular, were well orchestrated; they were very laid back, but in each song
they would masterfully build to a decisive crescendo delivered with an
impressive amount of force. At one point during their set, they utilized an
Autoharp and a clarinet, intriguing choices that worked successfully, and
during the last song the drummer retired his sticks and played his kit
TV on the Radio, Grizzly Bear: go, watch, listen, enjoy.
Encore: I am oftentimes in the camp that feels encores are kind of bullshit —
looking at my notes I saw that I had written, "My feet hurt, I have to pee,
and I want another beer." Sorry, but thirty minutes is the ideal amount of
time to watch most any live act; anything more than that, and my experience
can be distracted. But... BUT, every time I like the band and they do an
encore I find myself saying, "Ooh, I love this song!" TV was no exception;
they performed a three-song encore, coming to a dramatic finish when the four
fellows of Grizzly Bear joined them onstage with an array of rhythm and
percussion instruments. The energy of that final song was a masterful way to
end an evening of great music.

The Office of National Statistics (ONS) released the latest unemployment figures last week and I am very pleased to tell you that unemployment in Morecambe and Lunesdale has fallen.
The number of claimants in Morecambe and Lunesdale is 401, lower than in March 2013 and 73 lower than in February 2014.
This is very welcome news, because the more people in work bringing home a pay packet the better.
Economically things are bright here, the Government's long term economic plan is working.
In addition, we have the Heysham M6 Link Road currently being built, I have heard of a number of businesses who are expanding as a result of the road and I hope planning will be submitted anytime for the redevelopment of the former Frontierland site.
I heard just last week of another business in Morecambe who will be making a major announcement over the coming months.
I was disappointed to hear over the weekend that HMRC is proposing to share tax data with private firms, I think this is an absolute disgrace, HMRC is a Government organization not a private money maker and I will be taking this up at the very highest level when Parliament returns after the Easter Recess break.
Soon I will be announcing the details of this year's summer tour, if you'd like me to visit your workplace, community centre or do a street surgery on your street, please contact me.

8m. From the block, a short flake gives access to the rib and this is followed on its right-hand side apart from the last couple of moves back on the front face.

VS 4c? You're having a laugh. It doesn't even make Severe. Did anybody actually check this one before putting it in the guide?
I would like to say, I did this as my first VS lead, but I can't, because it didn't fell harder than most Severes I have done. Overgraded, at least if the line on the photo is followed.
I would have given this S 4a if the database voting system would have let me downgrade it that far. To be honest, it is barely rates that. May even be HVD.
Got to agree with the comments above. The softest VS in the world?
No more than HVD.
I'm sure I climbed down this after doing "The Rib". Does that count as an ascent??
agree with all the above...if i could have voted for vdiff on the database i would have done so. that flake is a bit creaky tho'! what a great beginners crag, far better than Birchen for a low stress intro. to grit.
you sure it isnt a desent route? there wasn't even a move!
Um.. I'd have to agree, a teensy weensy bit overgraded! But hey, it says "VS 4C" on the tin so that's what I'm ticking..!
If thats a VS 4c I am a middle aged black lesbian woman from new york, in reality I am white, from manchester, married...
HVD 3c. VS grading has to be a joke!
May not have much bite but it does have the opportunity to thread a pocket! Good practice for greater things on Beeston Tor?
If you take a line directly up the right arete and use no holds round to the right it is about severe 4a. It is a pleasant move over the overlap though.
Going direct over the overlap (i.e. staying on the left of the arete) may just warrant HS 4b, although I'd also be happy with S 4a - there's no way it's VS 4c. Going up the right side of the arete looked even easier.

Acapella quartet Tonic Sol-fa coming to Ulen's Top Hat Theatre
Top Hat Theatre is privileged to present acappella group Tonic Sol-fa on Monday, May 7, 7:30 p.m., for their final concert of the season.
Although they are simply four voices and a tambourine, Tonic Sol-fa has spent the past decade on the road carving their niche as the nation's top vocal group. In that time, this quartet has been named one of the top five "must see" groups in America, has been awarded numerous original song and album awards in pop, gospel and holiday genres, appeared on NBC's Today Show and in the pages of Newsweek magazine.
Outings with Jay Leno, Shawn Colvin, and Garrison Keillor have propelled album sales to more than 2,000,000 copies (mostly sold from the back of their trailer!) and have earned the group thousands of intensely loyal fans.
By 2000, the quartet was voted into the Midwest Music Hall of Fame. In 2002, Tonic Sol-fa averaged over 150 shows annually in 48 states. 2007 brought the group's music to radio stations and retail stores nationwide. In 2009, Tonic Sol-fa's third public television special was broadcast to over 1,800 stations across the United States, with an international launch to begin this year.And in 2010, Tonic Sol-fa won their first Emmy Award in the "Musical Composition/Arrangement" category for a song performed in a Toys for Tots PSA.
Tickets for the May 7 show are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and may be purchased at the Ulen-Hitterdal School office, by phone at 218-596-8853, or by e-mail to email@example.com.

I have only heard the album a couple of times. The first time I heard this was in a small restaurant one evening. I was with friends but I found myself tuning into it every now & in the end I found myself humming along and really listening to his voice which had a surprisingly rich quality. In the end I just had to ask who was singing.

After falling in love with 'Last request', I decided to treat myself to Paolo Nutini's These Streets album... What a treat that was! His voice and the lyrics are truly beautiful; a very eclectic mix that still remains modern.

I started trying to buy specialized guns for every "need." I hit 5 shotguns. A trap gun, two shot utility, pump, and semi-auto. Before long I realized I was spreading my practice between them so much that I wasn't worth a darn with any of them. Now a semi-auto with screw in chokes for clays and defense. One single shot with a polychoke for squirrels camping and hiking. Once I realized it with shotguns I saw the same thing with other guns. Glock 27 is my only defensive pistol.
An encore "pistol" that has a 460 barrel for deer and will probably end up with a 204 ruger or 22-250 barrel for varmints.
More than one 22 though
Now that I read that I haven't done that well at paring them down, have I?

NM teenager arrested for shooting hawk
A Luna County man now faces possible federal charges after he admitted to shooting a Harris Hawk. On Saturday, the Luna County Sheriff's Office arrested William Hefley, 18, on an extreme cruelty to animals charge for shooting and killing a five-year-old Harris Hawk valued at $3,000. "He was out there to kill the family dog; it was old and had to be put down," Saenz said, noting Hefley initially denied shooting the bird and later confessed, but was short on the exact details surrounding the shooting. "He first said the hawk went into the line of fire." Hefley now faces a fourth degree felony approved by the Sixth Judicial District Attorney's Office. But Sheriff's investigators said the case is being turned over to the New Mexico Game and Fish Department, which could pursue federal charges for killing a protected species...more

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Dark Sky Films, a division of MPI Home Video, is a new DVD publisher
that will release, according to their press material, "the highest quality
in classic horror, grindhouse, oddities and "lost" films to fans of the
more eclectic genres of home entertainment." Sounds like a lot of
hype, doesn't it? Didn't really have my hopes up when I screened
one of their early releases, Without Warning, but for once the reality
lives up to the press release. I can't speak for their other films,
but this film, thought to be 'lost' for years and available for the first
time with this release, looks and sounds fantastic. Not only
that, but it's a pretty good film too.
Los Angeles is being stalked by a serial killer. Carl Martin (Adam
Williams) is a quiet, almost shy gardener by day, but when the urge hits
him he becomes a cold and calculating killer. Picking up attractive
blonds and violently slaughtering them with a pair of garden sheers, Carl
has the police stymied.
The police aren't just going to give up or wait for his next crime though.
Led by Lt. Pete Hamilton (Edward Binns), the police sift through the crime
scenes for clues and lay traps for the unsuspecting killer. It will
only be a matter of time before all of their hard work pays off, but will
they catch him before he kills again?
This is a unique film, part film noir and part police procedural, it
works very well. On the noir side, the scenes where Carl Martin is
stalking his prey through the bars of LA are filmed in a gritty and dark
style. These scenes are filled with shadows and this, along with
the fluid camera work, makes the film tense and filled with suspense.
Other sections of the film are quite different though. When the
police are working on their case it is often in the daylight, going to
tailors and garden supply stores to follow up every little clue.
Like Dragnet, the voice-over in these scenes is monotone and no nonsense.
Police work is serious business.
Sometimes with low budget noir films like this one the film is interesting
in spite of the acting, rather than because of it. Not so with this
movie. Adam Williams really steals the show as the killer.
He plays the character as a quite and seemingly normal guy, an everyday
Joe that you'd bring home for dinner. That makes it even more eerie
when he kills. The murders he commits are passion making the character
seem psychotic. He kills as calmly as he would mow a yard, only when
the police catch on to him does he show any signs of worry.
This film has a good amount of suspense. There were several scenes
that really have your eyes glued to the screen, especially when Carl is
in a car and approached by the police while he has the body of his latest
victim in the front with him. They don't cheat on these suspense
scenes either. Things unfold in a natural and realistic way, without
resorting to any phoney deus ex machina escapes. It is interesting
to note though that the one time Carl had the chance to kill a police officer,
he knocked him out instead. I guess some things would have pushed
the envelope too far back then.
The DVD:
The two channel mono soundtrack sounded excellent. There wasn't
any hiss like I was expecting, and distortion was also absent. This
is a very good sounding disc, especially for a movie from the early 50's.
There are optional English subtitles.
The full frame image was amazingly clear. The picture has a lot
of detail and wonderful contrast. I was very surprised at how good
this film looked. There were a few print defects, a couple of spots
and a tear in one place, but these were fairly rare. Digital defects
were also absent. The only flaw was a light amount of edge enhancement
that is visible in several scenes. This is a very impressive looking
disc, and bodes well for Dark Sky Films.
The only extra on this disc is an image gallery containing 10 lobby
cards and posters from the film. I would have liked it better if
the images were a little bigger on the screen, but it was still nice to
see them.
Final Thoughts:
Without Warning is a suspenseful mixture of film noir and police
procedural that works very well. Thought lost for years, this release
is the first time the film is available on home video. Since this
was a lost film which retails for under $15 (and available on-line for
under $10 shipped) from a new publisher, I was astounded at how good this
disc looked and sounded. Dark Sky Films have done an outstanding
job with this release. Noir fans should run out and by this immediately,
others should consider it too. This disc gets a very high Recommended

Kitchen Island Height Highchair (bar stool height)
Materials: Antilop highchair
Description: I have a 2 year old daughter who has developmental delays and cannot yet sit unaided in a bar stool. We wanted to get her a height adjustable highchair and so she can join her twin sister and us for meals at our kitchen island….
Unfortunately nothing on the market fit our needs and wants. We had an Ikea Antilop highchair to use outside in the summer, so I decided to find a way to mount this to a gas lift adjustable stool base. I bought a gas lift stool second hand, took the seat off. then simply drilled holes in the seat of the Antilop highchair in the appropriate places and bolted this into the gas lift stool base. It looks fabulous, is very sturdy and we are very very happy with it
~ Jo A
6 Responses to Kitchen Island Height Highchair (bar stool height)
How sturdy is it? I'd be concerned that my two year old would kick himself back and knock the chair over. Would a safety harness attached to the underneath of the bar be a good idea?
Were you able to find a particular bar stool with a heavy base so she cant kick off the counter and tip over?
Great solution and looks excellent!
A very interesting article
I much like your blog
Thank for sharing

This is great, I wish I had seen this hack 2 years ago when I was looking for a bar stool for our toddler! (BTW, couldn't find a chair from any shop!)
Great idea and very beautiful!
Congratulations for this great hack
