A long, awkward, wide crack can surprise many 5.6 leaders. Pro is sparse and hard to place, especially if you don't have some huge pieces (5-6 inches), resulting in long runouts. But it's a beautiful long line straight up almost to the top of the dome. P1 and P2 are pretty straightforward 5.6 and easier climbing. P3 and P4 are the mental crux - try not to get sucked in too deep, keep your feet on the main wall and your back on the right wall. The angle is low, so if you keep upright, it's trivial, but it probably won't feel like it. Don't pass up a place to get in some pro these two pitches - you won't find many. P4 is also poorly protected face climbing, moving left until you hit slabs.
Park beside the dome and lake. The book should be obvious as long as you're not on the extreme east end of the dome.
The biggest pieces you got. A few bolts provided for anchors.
Do not traverse left on the last pitch veering up and left across the open unprotected face unless you are a masochist. The unprotected chimneys were casual compared to that damn face. Continue straight up instead.
A fun 5.6.
Also the easiest way to get down if you are soloing! Face out on the way down...it sounds scarier than it is.
In my opinion this is one of the most overrated climbs in Tuolumne. Everyone does it, often as their first real lead, but it's run out and dangerous for inexperienced leaders. There are a half a dozen routes on this rock that are better climbs including: South Crack, Dixie Peach, Hermaphodite Flake, West Country, Table of Contents an others.
Great climb. Maybe too much beta in the description? Maybe not - it is a beta page after all. But I'm glad I didn't see this description before climbing the line.
Without big cams you could fall a long, long way on the groove pitch. Found this a lot more frightening than most 5.9s!
Yes, big cams are necessary. A few summers ago I sprained my ankle while in the area and was relegated to toproping/seconding climbs close to the road for a few days. My wife chose the Great White Book as a climb to lead me up. At the car I said, "don't you think you should take a couple of big cams." "Oh no," she replied, "I don't want to carry those big, heavy things." Sure enough, we get to the wide corner pitch and none of her cams will fit so she just ran it out the whole pitch. Yikes!
at the end of 2 I traversed left under the long mini-roof. I thought there might be protection in there somewhere but there's nothing. I don't recommend that route. continue straight up.
The first ascent of this route was done considerably earlier by Hope Meek and Jim Baldwin; probably around 1964-1965.
If you know how to handle basic chimneys & OW, 1 set of cams from #0.3-#6 C4 is enough for plenty secure climbing. Just make sure you realize that this is the real deal for wide climbing and make sure you're familiar with pushing & resetting cams. Don't get sucked too far in? I climbed all of the wide pitches left side in and went deep inside on the squeeze chimney parts. I was super solid and secure, singing and taking pictures the whole way on lead. Burrow in, just don't get stuck :-) The last traversing pitch was the only real "R" part of the climb in my opinion (there are many many routes of this wide type in the Valley that do not get an "R" designation but have similar type of 'runouts'). It's not too bad if you lead 5.8 slab, but I did wonder about that more natural, direct line, with pro, leading straight up from the piton to the end . . .
Run your 60m out to combine Supertopo's P1/P2. Older Camalots (4.5 red and 5 green) worked fine for P2 - just place and go, don't bother bumping; that makes it harder. Full, single set of cams is plenty. Wandering left across the final slabs was heady-er than the book runouts, but all there with a few variations available. FUN 5.6 that gets you breathing hard.

"Right next to the historic pier and the boardwalk."
Really enjoyed the view from our balcony. Due to the curve of Monterey Bay, we were able to enjoy the sun rise every day. In addition, we could see everything from the cliffs on the right, past the bay and the beach and to the boardwalk on the left. The room was pretty nice; everything clean and in good repair. Hospitality brought up extra coffee quickly […] and cheerfully. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The refrigerator was stocked with sodas, beer, wine and candy with prices clearly marked. (We brought our own.) The $10 premium wireless streamed Netflix nicely on my laptop. Basic WiFi is free. Parking is across the street and expensive $24 (no more so than SF). Parking valet service is free (except for a tip) and includes in-and-out privileges. We used the porter to carry our multiple heavy bags up; and he was very helpful in explaining the layout of the hotel and our room. Another tip for the porter but in my opinion worth it. Total tips for two days-about $30. We visited in off season so it was not crowded. We enjoyed visiting the tide pools, the old growth redwoods and several walks out on the pier for meals and pictures. This is a very good place for a romantic get away (especially in off-season). There are of course somewhat cheaper option in town but none with the view, location and amenities for this price. We have traveled a lot and were very happy with our choice. Beware-there are a lot of beggars in Santa Cruz. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

Both the War and the Boardwalk are right outside the hotel. The rooms are very nice and have their own unique style.

They had a couple out door gas fire places to sit around in the evenings too. Direct Beach access via the pool, just use your room key!

This hotel was everything it was made out to be. The retro look, retro designs, comfortable appointments. The room was fabulous!! Every room faces the ocean and the boardwalk with a floor to ceiling sliding glass patio door that leads to your own private balcony. The bedding was great, the accessories great, Keurig coffee maker with 4 free cups/day. […] The pool was awesome and was right on the beach. There was also beach access from the pool. The pool was heated a little too much, but it would be perfect in winter. There is also a hot tub open til 11 pm. The hotel restaurant was great. You wouldn't need to leave the grounds, but we brought bikes and had a great time riding all of the local scenic ocean roads and paths. The city seems very bike friendly, with good signage to bike paths. There were a lot of homeless people outside the hotel and in areas around it, but we weren't bothered at all, even on our bikes. This hotel was relaxing,low key, and wonderful! We spent a fair bit of time just sitting on loungers staring out to the ocean with adult beverages in hand! Will definitely be going back!

The hotel is aging and "under renovation." That in and of itself is a warning. The hotel attempts to be upscale hipster with its bright mod colors, furnishings, and spare lines but needs help. Some of the problem is where the aging hotel sits (a stone's throw from a fair grounds upon a dirty beach that needs new sand - the concierge did tell me that […] the hotel is taking that task upon itself - to bring in new, clean sand). Also, the pool is small (not a huge deal since you're on the "ocean" which really feels more like a bay) and there is no hot tub, exercise room, or breakfast. Other than the free wifii nothing is free (snacks in room are pricey). The most disappointing of all was the "view" which is partially blocked by a cement wall covered up by a curtain (to give the idea that if you pull the curtain back you'd have even a bigger view). Outside on your "balcony" is a slab floor (think of apartment living) and cheap patio furniture. If you have small children this place might be ok w/the broad beach and tame surf - also the arcade grounds a stone's toss away. But the worst part of this place is the price - it's pitching itself as a "Dream" get-away and it's NOT! It really is a dump. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Kind of a letdown"
The photos they show of the rooms are not what they were, or at least the room we stayed in was not anything near what was in the photo of the room. We stayed in the King Deluxe room for 389.00 per night, I have stayed in junior suites for less than half that price before, and had twice the amenities in the room. Staff was very helpful with the invasion […] of flies that came into our room, after the maid had "cleaned" it. She must have left the sliding balcony door open while she cleaned and let them in.

The one caution I'd have is that they get easily overwhelmed at check-in time […] (lobby full of screaming kids waiting for their room). Our room was 1.5 hours late getting ready, but they gave us a $100 credit for food (which we needed; restaurant food is good but overpriced). All other times staff was friendly and very responsive.

"Clean and the best views. Too expensive though"
Everything's great but cost is too high and parking $24 now? I'll be passing next time and stay elsewhere.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Nice not take the car anywhere!!!!!"
It was nice not to have to take the car anywhere, as you can walk to the Wharf and Boardwalk within 5-10 mins. Great restaurant attached to the hotel as well. Nice to have room service if you are too tired to walk anymore. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I was with my 9 & 12 year olds and they loved it.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"The 1980's Dream Inn Pleasantly Revived!"
If anyone ever stayed here in the 70's and 80's, this is now back to the same high quality lodging that existed then! My daughter and I took a mom and daughter 2 day getting connected again stay at the "Dream Inn" reminiscent of the days when she and her brother were young children and our yearly Santa Cruz vacation was the Dream Inn (our top choice […] then). After 1 name change and now back to "The Dream Inn", it is great to enjoy the luxurious comfort of a top quality Inn and be able to hear the waves break against the pristine white sandy beach! We'll be back! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
Some information in proposals from private companies wanting to manage the Crown Center will be kept private while a contract is negotiated. Exactly how much information will be shielded from public view is less clear.
The proposals include each company's financial statements, which County Attorney Rick Moorefield said constitute trade secrets and must be kept confidential under law.
"We don't have any choice about it," he said.
Each company has specified what it would charge to manage the county-owned complex.
"The only reason for not disclosing that is just because we'd lose any advantage we would have of trying to negotiate further if we have to," Moorefield said.
Civic Center Commission Chairman George Turner on Tuesday appointed a five-member subcommittee to review and rank the proposals.
At that time, Moorefield said limiting the committee to less than a quorum of the commission's 15 members would allow it to meet privately.
But he acknowledged Thursday the committee would be considered a public body under state open meetings law and would have to meet in public.
However, the committee could discuss the financial information in closed session. State public records law allows information submitted to governments in connection with a bid, application or proposal to remain confidential until a contract is approved.
Turner expects the committee to meet in the second week of July and to bring a recommendation to the full commission later in the month.
The committee members are Turner, Ryan Aul, Wayne Beard, Olivia Chavis and Ramona Moore.
Moorefield and his staff spent the last few days reviewing the proposals to prepare summaries for the committee and to redact any protected information before releasing them to the public.
On Thursday, he said it was possible the companies' proposed fees could be similar enough that there might not be any benefit to the county in not releasing them.
"The numbers may be so close it may not be meaningful to do so," he said. "Right now, the plan is for the committee to review them. As we get further into this, that may change."

Discover the endless facades that are widespread in our culture and the dangerous powers of consumption and technology that fuels these facades. Learn the threat they pose to the church, and how they can be overcome to embrace your true worth and beauty through your relationship with Christ.
The world has a love affair---with itself. Armed with Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, we think of ourselves as mini celebrities, and we use consumption and technology to convince our friends that this facade is who we are.
Veneer illustrates that consumption is more than just acquiring more stuff; it is a potentially dangerous mindset---a mindset turning everything, even people, into products.
According to authors Timothy Willard and R. Jason Locy, there is evidence of consumption in all channels of culture---even the church. Most Christian commentators suggest that the church should speak the language of the congregants. Willard and Locy suggest the opposite approach: if congregants are steeped in a culture of consumption, the church should not speak their language at all.
Veneer encourages the church to become a refreshing voice amidst a veneered world, inviting you to lead an unveneered life of freedom, honesty, and beauty. Taking on an original concept that addresses the potential dangers of consumption and technology, Veneer speaks to many Christians who are unsure how to live with true meaning among the ever-changing trends and technology our culture offers.

I want the remote server to upload this file to Ubuntu One, and I want to do this without downloading the file to my computer and uploading it to Ubuntu One.
How I can remote upload a file from another file server on the Internet?

What is Congressman Issa waiting for? After being informed that the USPS may run out of cash in October of this year he continues to dally with legislation that would stabilize postal finances. It is obvious that Republican members on the committee object to key pieces of the proposed legislation, but there is too much at stake to hold out for a political agenda. Union efforts to substitute H.R. 630 as the vehicle for postal reform are a wistful long shot so to continue as a viable institution it is essential that some form of legislation is adopted and soon. The question before the major stakeholders is whether each will accept undesirable provisions to save the Postal Service and there is a laundry list of them.
For the unions, they want to avoid at all costs modification to collective bargaining; accelerated consolidations; 5-day delivery; release of retirement overfunding; major subcontracting, but eliminate the health care prefunding.
The Republican agenda seeks to continue the health care payment in some form, accelerate consolidations, reduce the retirement overpayment and lay the foundation for privatization.
Within these conflicting agendas and unflinching adversaries there is a possibility of legislation that does not satisfy the politicians or the unions but saves the Postal Service. If one begins with the goal of an economically stable Postal Service as the primary objective, the legislative negatives while unacceptable become palatable. The clock is ticking and the USPS' financial position will not improve without major intervention. Neither camp will achieve their objectives in the current political climate, but at some point the question must be asked: postal reform or what?

Algeria and Tunisia under French Rule
Because Algeria was France's first and most important Muslim colony, its presentation to the world was a major concern, and French officials experimented with various possibilities. In 1867 Algeria was represented in the French exhibit as a "trophy," "a new territory reconquered by civilization after twelve centuries of barbarian rule." Inside the Galerie des Machines the Algerian display, modestly demarcated by palm trees, showed raw materials (Fig. 83). To display Arabs and their civilization, a douar, or Arabian village, was set up in the southwestern part of the park, near the Porte de la Grenelle. A group of camels sat in the center of a circle of tents while their caretakers, brought to Paris "to give an idea of the true Arab type," dozed inside.[72]
This modest exhibit contrasted with the next one in Paris in both scale and architectural ambition. The Algerian palace in 1878 was a massive mosquelike building, 40 by so meters (Figs. 84–85), its exterior dominated by four towers, its plain white walls unfenestrated. The interior, however, was more of a caravansary, where the products of two thousand exhibitors were displayed.[73]
Daylight came in through the central courtyard, planted with palms and roses and containing a fountain. Components of the structure had their origins in monuments in the city of Tlemcen: the 30-meter-high minaret replicated that of the fourteenth-century Mosque of al-Mansur, and the portal came from the Mosque of Sidi Bou-Madina; the ribbed dome of the vestibule imitated the mihrab dome of the Great Mosque of Tlemcen. The most important space in the building was the rotunda-shaped Salon du Maréchal, the reception hall of the French marshal; it was on axis with the main entrance and was lighted dramatically by spherical stained glass windows.[74] With its allusion to the appropriation of local architecture by the colonial power, this room served as a political symbol.
The idea of architectural fragments so dominated the Algerian display that the portal of the al-Kebir mosque in Algiers was erected as a freestanding structure near the exposition palace (Fig. 86).[75] Out of its context the portal served as an archway, but because of its seemingly random placement, it was also a picturesque "found object."
Like the 1878 palace, the main Algerian pavilion at the 1889 Paris fair, designed by Albert Ballu and Emile Marquette (Fig. 87), was an introverted structure with courtyards, plain exterior facades with arched portals and porticoes, and a square minaret (not visible in the illustration) modeled after that of the Mosque of Sidi'Abd al-Rahman, which was topped with a French flag. A dome, also inspired by the Mosque of Sidi'Abd al-Rahman, covered the central space.[76] The interior decoration displayed a "capricious geometry"; one journalist argued that it was the "product of a dry imagination, a cold, me-
thodical barbarity without exuberance," because "the Arab never had a feel for plasticity; his genius was only in mathematics and colors."[77] Although this viewpoint adopts the rationalist theories of Islamic architecture rather than earlier theories of Islamic architecture as a sensuous fantasy, it still presents Islamic architecture in a negative light, denying that the Muslim artist and architect had any creative flexibility. Ironically, the exposition pavilions were considered Islamic architecture, despite their French authorship, at the same time that the neo-Arabian buildings erected in the colonies were considered French.
As noted in the previous chapter, Algeria in 1900 occupied the "place of honor" in the Trocadéro Park. Albert Ballu, the architect of the Algerian palace, had given this imposing structure an unadorned exterior to reflect the "Muslims' contempt of worldly things" (see Fig. 52).[78] The walls were a "luminous white," with bands of tiles on the upper levels and a crenellated roofline. The facade on the Seine was the structure's most elaborate, with its monumental stairway leading to an arched portico. A minaret 28 meters high, a replica of that of the Mosque of Sidi Bou-Madina in Tlemcen, rose on one side of the stairway. The central dome of the palace was inspired by the Mosque of the Fishery in Algiers.[79]
The palace basement was filled with antiquities and choice wines for tasting (Fig. 88).[80] On the ground floor, a large courtyard, a reproduction of the courtyard in the Bardo Palace in Algiers, "recalled the interior courts of Moorish houses in Granada and of Muslim harems, where solitude and freshness invite one to dream." In the middle, however, where tradition called for a fountain, there was a large, glassed-in model of the ruins of Timgad. In the galleries of the next floor, reached via the grand staircase outside, were exhibit of fabrics, guarded by "Turks and sipahis" (indigenous soldiers in the French army); a collection of engravings and cartoons from the time of the French conquest ("very curious and amusing historical documents"); a mineralogical exposition, complete with geological maps; and an exhibit of Algerian artists and French Orientalist painters.[81]
French colonizers presented the Algerian palace as a "didactic and demonstrative" exposition. Because the "attractions" were reserved for the section on the other side of the avenue bisecting the park, the palace lacked the picturesqueness Europeans were accustomed to by now. Although some visitors expressed disappointment, others noted with satisfaction that for once an Oriental exposition avoided being messy and commercial.[82]
Tunisia, which became a French colony in 1882, was summarized in 1889 by an elaborate and ambitious pavilion (Fig. 89). Following what could now be called a tradition in colonial representations, the young architect Henri-Jules Saladin incorporated architectural motifs from various monuments of Tunis into the facades of this "sober and elegant" building. A portal came from the Sulaymaniyya Madrasa and a facade from the Great Mosque of Kairawan, the dome and the minaret recalled the Sidi ben-Arous, verandas and musharabiyya s evoked the old houses of Tunis, and the tiled courtyard with a fountain in the middle was a feature of many Tunisian buildings. Tiles with floral motifs in blue and yellow, inspired by the tiles of the Bardo Palace, covered the walls. The building featured agricultural products and archaeological objects as well as schoolbooks that recorded "the progress achieved" under French rule.[83]
In the crowded Tunisian quarter of the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900, again designed by Henri-Jules Saladin, there were two replicas of mosques. The first, a copy of the Mosque of Sidi-Maklouf in Kef, actually served as a mosque where Muslims could go for their daily prayers.[84] The second, a copy of the seventeenth-century Mosque of Sidi-Mahres in Tunis, then abandoned and in
ruins, was transformed into an exhibition hall to display the agricultural, industrial, and commercial products of the regency (Figs. 90–91).[85] One room was reserved for documents pertaining to colonization, another for representative artwork from Tunisia's rich history.[86] Observers agreed enthusiastically that this white-domed "mosque" lacked only the light of the Tunisian sun to be real. To lend "authenticity," the moldings (geometric interlacings) were made in Tunisia by local artisans and shipped to Paris. The resident general of the colony, René Millet, joked that this replica—this "jewel"—lacked only the cow that had turned it into a stable back in Tunis.[87] Once again underscoring the building's authenticity, a French journalist sympathized, tongue-in-cheek, with the native who did not understand why he was not allowed to pray in this "mosque."[88]
The architecture of the Algerian and Tunisian colonies of France projected an image of Islam correlating with that of the noncolonial presentations. Yet the indigenous character of the pavilions played a different role in the colonial context, aggrandizing the image of France by making it more varied and complex. The greater the spectrum of differences in colonized cultures, the stronger was the impression of the colonizer's power and the vastness of his
domain. One French observer asked: "Are we not a grand Muslim nation, given our vast African colonies?"[89] In effect, the Islamic colonies were only a small part of the much larger French empire, which included West Africa, the Congo, Madagascar, Indo-China, and islands in the Caribbean. Pluralism suggested the empire's universality.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: Its free! But some programs have a lottery system where only half the people accepted into the program will get the scholarship and the other half have to pay.
B+ A+F Academic Experience: The teachers at this school are amazing! They want you to succeed and will do everything they can to make sure you succeed. Class registration is easy since classes are only offered at one time throughout the day. They set their programs up where you start and finish the program with the same people. You go through the classes together and its really helpful to have the support of the other students in your "cohort" but we call each other family.
C A+F Campus Resources: The school offers a fairly secure network but not all the computers are loaded with the same programs. The number of labs and availability of the labs is tough because other students cannot use the lab they need when they have the time due to a class being in there.
B+ A+F Campus Resources: I give this grade because the school is unique in the fact that it is free to students. They offer a limited number of trade programs that are popular in todays workforce. They also work with you during your time with the school to find an internship to get your foot in the door and as well after your time at the school is done to help you find a job.
C A+F Campus Resources: The school does not provide many facilities. The library is used half of the day for classes and there isn't much material in there that is useful to students. Along with that, the computer labs are not available when needed and class schedules overlap so students do not have time to get from one to the other.

Brawl with climate change
Can I make a change?
With the entry of new organization every day, expanding carbon footprints and with ever increasing population, the one who is facing the most heat is climate. The depletion rate of Himalayan has already hit eleven meters. The per capita emission for U.S. citizen is 20 tones, while this is below 4 for china, and just above one for India. So we can easily say that, developed countries are responsible for the present situation and it has nothing to do with developing one. So the former should take steps to combat the depleting ozone layer and expanding mercury.
But can we escape the adversity awaiting us by playing this blame game? No matters, who is how much responsible for it, the price will be paid by everyone. Be it American. Be it anyone else. So better prepare our self and work as a team to avoid the seemingly unavoidable catastrophe ahead. Everybody today is talking about it, but how can I, as an ordinary citizen of an ordinary country can contribute my bit to the cause? Here is a listing which are ostensibly very simple steps, but can proved to be highly valuable if taken by a mass citizen base, including you and me. Don't forgot, you are not in traffic, but you are the traffic. We are a nation of more than one billion people, if one percent of us, save one percent of current usage of electricity, we can save a lot.
1. Don't think can I alone, make a change?
2. Can we switch to sunlight during day instead of tube lights?
3. Are we using oil products conservatively, like going to office in public transport?
4. Can we switch down our AC for an hour a day?
5. Can we switch to CFLs?
6. Do we switch off the electrical appliances after using them honestly?
7. Are we shaving or brushing with running water in wash basin?
8. Can we take bath with bucket instead of shower?
9. Can we avoid using lift, atleast up to 3 floors?
10. Can we switch off our TV's main switch instead from the remote only?

How do the characters of Death, a book thief and her foster parents, a boxing Jew and young German boy who wants to be Jessie Owens make a wonderful reading experience—I am not really sure but they do. When I began to read this book I wasn't sure I would enjoy Death as the narrator in the setting of World War II, but somehow it works. Death tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a 13-year old girl and "book thief" who has lost her family in the early stages of World War II. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. I loved the characters, I adored the way the book was written and the plot was brilliantly conceived—5 out of 5 stars.

This book puts a spin on normal books. Instead of the narrator being a character or being told in third person The Book Thief has a different narrator. The narrator is Death. Liesel's life is changed when she picks up a book from beside her brothers grave, her first act of stealing. She later goes to live with her foster family who hides a Jew in their basement. She learns to read, by stealing books and reading. As World War Two continues so does Liesel. I would recommend this book to everyone. Although it is fiction, you will learn a lot about WWII.

If not for my credit card inquiry I would not have discovered this thread. Will backtrack all the posts, baka nandito na ikakayaman ko. LOL.
On serious note, I am very keen to learn about how to invest (terms like bonds, mutual funds, stock market, stocks, dividends, etc, naririnig ko lang pero I don't really know what they exactly mean.)
Is there a short-term course offered by some school, or a seminar that I can take somewhere regarding this?
