It's official. Disney now owns everything that was cool. After absorbing Marvel Studios and all of its superhero franchise treasures the bomb dropped that they had bought Lucasfilm Ltd. and by definition Star Wars -- not to mention Industrial Light & Magic -- fast tracking a new, seventh film in that galaxy far, far away. In fact, the Mouse House's latest feature, Wreck-It Ralph (the studios 52nd animated film) even has a little Star Wars Easter egg -- one among many -- for sharp-eared viewers; the mechanical breath of a certain Sith Lord whose name rhymes with Ralph Nader.
I'm not even totally unconvinced that the Ralph of the film (John C. Reilly), a video game bad guy who wants to be a hero, isn't somewhat based on Ralph Nader. Not to give too much away, but essentially he's a lonely outsider in his own system who wants to upend the rules and become something he isn't. In the process he winds up spoiling an election. Sort of. Maybe I'm way off, but when a little kid decides to make the political system of her game a constitutional democracy you have to wonder if the writers aren't laughing at a not-so-subtle in-joke.
Ralph (Reilly) is the antagonist of an '80s video game called Fix-It Felix, Jr. which finds Ralph destroying an apartment building (Rampage-style--this film is obviously thick with videogame references) while the player controls the hero of the game, Felix (Jack McBrayer) who fixes the destruction, eventually banding the tenants together to toss Ralph off the roof.
At least that's what it looks like to the player, but inside the game world, Ralph finds himself a pariah to his fellow characters. He isn't even invited to his own game's 30th anniversary party. So Ralph starts going to Bad-Anon, a support group for arcade bad guys who must come to grips with never being particularly well-liked or heroic.
He drowns his sorrows at Tapper (the bar from the titular 8-bit classic) where he learns he can win a medal and become a hero in a different game, Hero's Duty -- a newer, more violent, Starship Trooper's-like first-person shooter. While game characters can move in between game worlds, via a central station inside a power strip, if they die in a different game they cannot re-spawn -- in essence, they are de-rezzed (Ralph's conceit owes a significant debt to TRON).
Though the good-at-his-job Ralph claims the hero's medal, his clumsy nature sets in motion a chain of events that spell doom for his game and another called Sugar Rush, a Mario Kart meets Candyland knock-off; when Vanellope (Sarah Silverman), a game avatar with a "glitch", steals his treasured medal -- and Ralph inadvertently infests Sugar Rush with murderous bugs he saved from Hero's Duty.
There's quite a bit to like about Wreck-It Ralph, particularly if you came of age in the era of '80s arcade culture. The script, by Phil Johnson and Jennifer Lee, is rife with knowing in-references that run from the obvious (Bad-Anon meets at the ghost holding cell in Pac-Man) to the obscure (when Tapper gets off work he hits up Burgertime) to the fun (stalactites of Mentos suspended above a hot springs of diet soda become a plot device). Visual cues run the gamut from Alien to Indiana Jones -- and the aforementioned Star Wars -- and there isn't a gigabyte of the movie that doesn't have some sort of nod to the many game characters of history 8-bit history -- even the ones whose clearly labyrinthine licensing deals wouldn't allow in the film (Mario is only mentioned but King Koopa makes a cameo).
The voice work from John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch as a space marine bent on saving Sugar Rush from the fate of Planet P is uniformly wonderful, particularly Silverman who manages to work her trademark pixie weirdness into the hyperactive (sugar rushing?) Vanellope.
It looks great, with an army of animators rendering the candy-coated world of Sugar Rush and the dystopian Hero's Duty with insane detail and great art design. But it's the story, guided adeptly by director Rich Moore that makes the pixels worth watching.
Sweet and knowing and with only a few dips into fart humor, Moore weaves the multiple plot threads together well and with a good sense of pace. So while the little ones gawk and laugh the adults won't find their brains bleeding out of their ears from too much generic, pandering banality. In fact, they might be laughing, too.
Wreck-It Ralph deserves your quarters; which is good. You'll probably be pressing play on this one for a while.
The Man with the Iron Fists
One of the reasons the Staten Island-born rap legends, Wu-Tang Clan, have that name is due to a love of mid-'70s, Shaw Brothers martial arts films. Violently over the top and physics-defying before anyone heard of wire-fu; films like Five Fingers of Death, The Flying Guillotine and The 36th Chamber of Shaolin were among many classics that no doubt influenced RZA --one of Wu-Tang's founders -- to make his directorial debut, The Man with the Iron Fists.
That combination, an untested director with a tangential talent and an admirable love of genre specifics doesn't always inspire hope -- see Stephen King's directorial debut, Maximum Overdrive. But with the guidance of Quentin Tarantino as a producer and with Eli Roth co-writing the script from an original story by RZA, The Man with the Iron Fists turns out to be an unevenly successful, though ultimately fun slice of FUBU action.
RZA plays a blacksmith in the feudal Chinese town of Jungle Village, the control of which has several different clans going to war. His weapons are in high demand by the various clans, putting the blacksmith in the Yojimbo-like position of playing one against the other while biding his time to escape with his true love, a prostitute known as Lady Silk (Jamie Chung).
Meanwhile, the fairly noble leader of one of the clans, Golden Lion (Chen Kuan-tai) is assassinated in a coup by his lieutenant, Silver Lion (the hilariously scene-stealing Byron Mann) who must also assassinate Golden Lion's son, The X-Blade (Rick Yune), an uber-warrior who is heir to the Lions and will be none-to-pleased to learn of his father's assassination.
When a massive shipment of gold is sent from the emperor to another magistrate, and which must pass through Jungle Village, Silver Lion descends upon the town to steal the gold -- only to find his way thwarted by one of the clans, led by Madame Blossom (Lucy Liu); and a white, drifter mercenary named Jack Knife (Russell Crowe, hamming it up like a champ).
Joining forces with the blacksmith and X-Blade they find themselves up against not just the Lions and a gigantic freak who can morph into solid brass (David Bautista) but also the Gemini Killers -- learned madmen of death who will annihilate Jungle Village ("The motherfuckers got a Gatling Gun," intones RZA during the film's copious narration) if they don't wind up leaving with their Emperor's gold.
RZA obviously has something of an eye for the genre. His unabashed love is written on this flick's sleeve -- and as uneven as it can be it's still eclectically conceptualized and energetically made. Watching Crowe channel Old Dirty Bastard alone is pretty much worth the price of admission.
It is RZA's sense of pace that belies his inexperience, one spent more in front of the camera than behind it--channeling his peers without threatening to surpass their more honed talents. He purposefully and admirably avoids dated visual tropes. While this is essentially a grindhouse film he doesn't try to make a faux one. Instead The Man with the Iron Fists is closer to a kung-fu/blaxploitation mash-up whose best qualities are the vision that distinctly belongs to its creator. But it is a disjointedly paced film with a narrative that flows with an ironic lack of chi.
On a technical level the fight scenes are fine, and the FX are well rendered--particularly the gory stuff by KNB. The performances are the kind of awesome that happens when they are delightfully cheesy--Rick Yune has a problem with wooden while RZA plays the blacksmith as if he were RZA in 19th Century China. Byron Mann, as Silver Lion, is absolutely amazing though, and his performance, along with the anachronistic soundtrack by Wu-Tang Clan, collaborating with the likes of The Black Keys and Kanye are probably the only elements of this flick that could legitimately be nominated for something.
The Man with the Iron Fists will live a longer life in living rooms, late at night and under the influence. And that's its own kind of perfect.

Are you familiar with parsnips? The other day, I bought a big bunch at the grocery store and the cashier said "What are those? Really ugly carrots?" She'd never seen them before, but honestly, her first impression wasn't too far off. A root vegetable related to the carrot, parsnips look like paler, more gnarled versions of the beloved orange veggie. Parsnips have quite a different flavor though, much sweeter and a little bit more like a potato. They are coming into season now (and will remain in season until the spring), so now's the perfect time to experiment with these versatile, tasty veggies. We've found seven easy, healthy parsnip recipes, so get cooking!

In 2012, we will see the maximum possible number of Friday the 13th dates -- three. That part isn't so unusual. It happened in 2009, and it will again in 2015.What's special about 2012 -- and it won't occur again until 2040 -- is the occurrence of Friday the 13th in January, April and July during a leap year. Get out your new desk calendar and count up the weeks. Jan. 13, April 13 and July 13 are all spaced exactly 13 weeks apart.

For those of you fearful of the number 13, you may have a tough time in 2012. The 13th falls on a Friday more often this year, happening a total of three times. If that's not strange enough, each Friday the 13th is 13 weeks apart! If we had celebrated the Julian New Year it would be 2765. This is based on the Julian calendar calculated from the date Rome was founded. Adjustments had to be made so the seasons related to the right time of year along with holidays. This new system evolved into the Gregorian calendar we use today.

America is an idea, but it's an idea that brings with it some baggage, like power brings responsibility.

Anesthesiologists are not just treating patients in the operating room anymore, said Dr. David Miller of Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco. They are also working in the emergency room, the intensive care unit and the endoscopy and obstetrics departments.
"On any given day, we can be in as many as 18 to 20 different areas of the hospital," said its Chief of Anesthesiology. "We're much more mobile these days."
As part of his job, Miller oversees a team of 17 board-certified physicians. He assigns each of them to the types of cases that require their particular area of expertise. Miller also treats patients directly.
He said his team's "broad spectrum of talents" has contributed to the rising number of cases in the eight years he has worked at Northern Westchester Hospital.
"The number of our patients has grown significantly in the time I have been here," said the Armonk resident. "For a community hospital, we really offer state-of-the-art services."
Miller isn't just talking about the work of his fellow anesthesiologists, though. He counts the high-quality, patient-centered care at Northern Westchester Hospital second to none among its competitors.
That said, Miller has made it his mission to help the hospital earn exposure and support from surrounding towns. He is currently helping gain sponsorships and attendees for the upcoming annual Northern Westchester Hospital Golf Classic at GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills.
Since Miller became chairperson of the event five years ago, he said the Golf Classic has raised an average of $150,000 for NWH each year. Those donations are especially important since Northern Westchester Hospital is a nonprofit institution, which relies on financial support from private donors to fund critical investments in new technology and modernized facilities.
"We've hoped to gain a little more notoriety each year," he said. "Through the tournament, people can get a sense of what the hospital is really about and the services we offer."
Northern Westchester Hospital Golf Classic at GlenArbor Golf Club will be held Tuesday, June 19. Click here for more details.

Surgical reconstruction of orbital defects
Diagnosis of orbital defects is typically performed with CT or DVT (Cone beam CT). The planning of a surgical treatment of orbital fractures or dismorphisms is based on 2D-slices of a CT data acquisition, where dislocations of bony structures in general are clearly visible. However, the surgical reconstruction of a fractured orbita is difficult and often demands for computer assisted 3D reconstruction and planning methods. An automatic 3D reconstruction of thin orbita walls from tomographic data is unreliable due to the so called partial volume effects. Thus, a tedious manual segmentation of such structures is currently required.
The goal of the Orbita project is to provide reliable and fast segmentation methods for a 3D reconstruction of the human orbita from CT data. Therefore, anatomic knowledge is to be used, that will be extracted from a series of CT data sets of non-pathologic orbita structures, and provided by means of a statistical 3D shape model of the human orbita. This 3D shape model (Orbita Atlas) is intended to be used for automatic segmentation as well as a template for surgical reconstruction.
Further information is available in the detailed project description.

Unclaimed Easy 5 Jackpot Set to Expire
As of today, no one has stepped forward to claim a $203,543 Louisiana Lottery Easy 5 jackpot won on May 16, 2012. The winning ticket was purchased at The Sunshine Truck and Casino Plaza on Highway 70 West in St. James and is set to expire on Nov. 12, 2012.
The winning ticket matched all five Easy 5 numbers drawn on May 16, which were 10-16-20-27-34. The holder of the winning ticket has until 5 p.m. on the date of expiration to claim the prize, subject to the Lottery's hours of operation. Winnings are subject to applicable federal and state tax withholdings. Prizes greater than $600 may be claimed at any of the Lottery's five regional offices located throughout the state or at Lottery headquarters in Baton Rouge.
"We look forward to the winner coming forward to claim this prize. In the meantime, the individual should treat the ticket as cash," said Lottery President Rose Hudson. "It is also a good idea to sign the back of the ticket for security purposes."
Winners of the Lottery's draw-style games must claim their prize within 180 days of the drawing. After prizes have passed their redemption deadlines, they are deposited into the Lottery's unclaimed prize fund, which is returned to players in the form of increased payouts on scratch-off games and player promotions.
Ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. The Lottery encourages responsible play and urges anyone or friends of anyone with a gambling problem to call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help. A list of large unclaimed prizes set to expire in the next 90 days can be found on the Lottery's website at www.louisianalottery.com/unclaimedprizes.

I have followed a normal session but chosen to crop the images which hides the identity of both instructor and trained subject.
I have concentrated on the implicit submission that lies in subjecting oneself to any kind of treatment or improvement of body and mind. In this setting it comes across as violent and at times sexual although the reality is apparent innocent and totally voluntary.

I wanted a January marathon and wanted to visit Morocco. But having read the comments from previous years I really hesitated. I have run 15 US marathons but only one International one ( Reykjavik) and worried about course support etc. What a pleasant surprise! This is as flat as a pancake. The weather was perfect. Though there are no porta potties at the start or along the route, the race starts and finishes right at the cluster of hotels and there are bushes by the plenty for long stretches of the course. No Gatorade but plenty of well equipped water stops, sponges, tangerines, fruits. Sporadic but very enthusiastic crowds and I loved it as the women supporters seemed to cheer really loudly as women went by ( 98% of Moroccans are muslim). Lovely medal. Also, I was recovering from a back injury so was really slow yet the water stations' supply and traffic control were impeccable through the 4:45 mark, (contrary to reports by commentators from previous years). Marrakech is a beautiful city and I see no reason why this would not be a very easy BQ event.
Marrakech marathon is an exotic race. There are no bathrooms at the start or along the course. No place to leave your stuff at the start. No electrolyte drinks. But the course is great - flat and interesting around the city. It goes thru groves of olive trees, corner of the Medina, passing orange trees and camels at the roadside. For a few kilometers it has a nice, front view of snow-covered Atlas Mountains, one of the most memorable moments. Very convenient location of expo, start and finish. But expo is too much said it was more like bib picking location. Every 200 meters a police officer or someone from the army to watch the course. Crowds of kids on the course for high-five's. It was such an experience that I caught myself smiling after the 21st kilometer when we were running for about 2 kilometers in a regular street traffic not so far from Marrakech Square and I was racing with donkey-drawn carriage. I don't recommend it for slower, much over 4 hours runners.
I have run the marathon twice and the half marathon 3 times including yesterday. It is still poorly organized. Pathetic expo, if you're a slow runner they run out of water so bring your own and they still let the traffic cross at the intersections once the elite group have passed. Yes Marrakech is an exotic and interesting city but I will stop running races here and just visit.
I agree with a lot of what others have said - not many 'frills' to this race, no port-a-johns, no Gatorade/electrolyte drinks, the shirt is mediocre and cut for men. However, as a destination race in a foreign country where we did not speak the language, I really have to commend them on the organization and general experience. Communications with organizers were helpful and timely. The expo was an easy walk from the many hotel options near the start and finish. The spectators were enthusiastic and most of the course is gorgeous! Also, Marrakech is a great base for day trips or starting point to travel through Morocco. My one complaint is the air pollution. Toward the end when you are already suffering, it was brutal. You run through a busy city area and have to dodge traffic. There are police to help, but drivers in Marrakech are CRAZY!!! Considering many of the African races are ultras, this is a great choice - shorter flight and you can even spend a few days in Spain if you're lucky!
I found the organization not bad at all. Every 5K they had enough water in bottles and every 5K there were sponges for refreshment and oranges and dates. So every 2.5K there was something to look out for. I did a marathon in Holland with lot less. Every 200 meters a police officer or someone from the army was there to to watch the track. A lot of people were on the side of the road watching and giving applause to all runners. That did motivate me and I ran a PR by more than 30 minutes! I had problems with the air pollution. That was a bad thing about this marathon. Too many very old cars were on the road; air pollution stood still at every intersection with all of the motors running.
Marrakech is an amazing city and the race gives you so many sights and sounds of the city and the country. The race is entirely flat and most is outside and around the city. I ran past the walls of the old city, through orange groves and past camels. That's the good. The bad is that you shouldn't expect a whole lot else. The amenities you expect from a race - port-a-johns, race corrals, a decent number of water stations - were nonexistent. The race was a mass of people and runners, with a healthy dose of spectators mingled into the crowd. There were no corrals to correspond with times - just a jumbled gathering. There are no bathrooms at the start or along the course, so feel free to use nearby shrubbery and trees as I and many fellow racers did. The oranges, sugar cubes and dates being offered at stations were nice, except the stations were 4 miles apart. All in all, Marrakech and Morocco are amazing, and if you want to do a destination race for fun, i highly recommend this one. if you're trying for a PR, skip this one.
I just loved every minute of this marathon... and it was such an experience that we caught ourselves smiling at each other far too much given the distance we were running. The course was great - flat and interesting around the outskirts of the city, through various little groups of houses and shops, past farmland, and past camels that always cheer you up. The spectators were brilliant. They had made a real effort to get school kids out on the course for high-five's aplenty, and there was plenty of encouragement all the way around. The kids really wanted our caps, but given it was getting sunnier, they had to do with our leftover water bottles! Reading the reviews, I got the impression that they had learned from previous years and organization was actually very good, given basic expectations. There was plenty of water all the way through - and we were running for fun, just inside 5 hours. So all in all, I would thoroughly recommend the experience!!!
I fully agree with N.P.'s message. I run 4:00 and my wife runs in 4:32. Let me add some details. Yes, water was lacking at one station (at about 28K), but I was not affected at all because I have my own belt. But my wife was affected at more than three stations, though she told me that one restaurant provided her with a small bottle - excellent!!! Spectators were there more curious than interested in cheering, but they were there. Great! Organization should be better for 50 euros; and the t-shirt wasn't great. Do i recommend the race? YES ! As an exotic one!!!
I was really impressed by the organisation, particularly of the traffic during the race. Apart from a few inevitable near misses, it felt very safe. It's not the best value for money event - cotton t-shirt (with no ladies' sizes), no bag drop or loos at the start/finish, very little information on the website, and water stations had only water and unpeeled oranges. They looked really tasty but it's a bit tricky to peel an orange while running and clutching a bottle of water! There were a few bits of dried fruit and sugar cubes at the later ones too. The very positive points about the stations were that they were plentiful and the water came in bottles. I heard reports that they ran out later on, but most runners were replacing the caps, either for later runners or local kids to pick up. The route was great - very flat and fast and nicely spread out after the first few k. Nice temperature and very little pollution until the end too. Good for a PB if you wanted it. I wouldn't recommend this race if you're anticipating much over 4 hours, it all starts closing down very early. But it's a great event with wonderful support from the locals, and perfect for a warm weekend away in January.
Nice time to run; however, it can be cold in the morning, There's no place to leave your stuff at the start, and no place to buy drinks or energy bars. It's good that water on the way was in bottles. The last kilometers can be along with cars on the city streets. The sponsors could offer a bit more after you finish, but the course has nice views of the Atlas Mountains and a historic part of the city. It's interesting to experience this and compare it to running in other places.

An interesting story is often told of baseball star Johnny Bench when he was a rookie catcher in 1968. During a Spring Training game, he kept signaling to star pitcher Jim Maloney to throw a curve ball. Maloney continuously shook off Bench's signal, opting to throw fastballs instead. The rookie catcher walked to the mound and told the veteran Maloney that his fastball wasn't fast enough and that he should throw some curve balls. Bench again signaled for a curve. Maloney shook of the signal and threw a fastball. Before the ball reached the plate, Bench took off his glove; he then caught the pitch barehanded.

Cruising the Past and Cruise Ship History. Murder At Sea Aboard A Carnival Cruise To Mexico and another aboard Union Castle Lines in the 1947 – Where are re-runs of The Love Boat when you need them?
Murders aboard cruise ships and liners are nothing new. This one happened last week on Carnival and another one took place aboard a Union Castle decades ago.
Where are re-runs of The Love Boat when you most need them? Cruise travelers these days have never had it so difficult, what with the threat of possible Norovirus and Swine Flu outbreaks, not to mention the occasional occurrence of people mysteriously falling overboard. The latest news, that a man has stabbed his wife to death this week while onboard the Carnival ship Elation, doesn't threaten the whole ship but it does make for one creepy cruise. [Read more...]

After developing a unique software product for the past 5 years, I am looking to team up with a business developer that can get the right investment for going viral...
The prospective business partner that I found expressed a lot of enthusiasm but immediately brought with him another partner (with a PhD in computer science) to examine achievements so far, estimate the amount of work ahead and manage the entire project.
Initial discovery process (along with explaining and defending a pending patent application) went fine, with each of them signing an NDA.
Now, they claim they need to have access to the actual source code, in order estimate work needed so they know how much to ask from investors (that's at least how they justify their request).
Now, since they are not partners yet and no agreement has been signed, I am not sure how to respond to this request. As you know, source code can be copied and transferred to other parties very easily.
What should I do next?

SAVE Lease renewal/notice of nonrenewal?
Hello. I'm wondering, in an unregulated apartment, does a landlord still have to give notice (i.e. at least 30 days notice) if he does not intend to renew a lease?
My building was sold at the beginning of the year, and according to chatter amongst the tenants, the new owner plans to renovate into luxury units and hasn't been renewing people's leases. Also, I ran into a former tenant who confirmed his lease wasn't renewed due to this.
A few weeks ago, I asked the landlord to let me know if he planned on renewing my lease so that I could make plans. He never responded - when I called the office everyone was mum and told me to email him, and he then never replied to the email.
My statement for what will be my final month on this lease was mailed to me over the weekend, but has no notice regarding the lease renewal/nonrenewal.
Thanks for any help!
Unfortunately, leases are written up to the advantage of the owner not the lessee. Most likely you are correct and the owner will not renew the lease, thus forcing you out of your current apartment. if the lease is a standard non-stabilized residential lease than it should have a paragraph that stipulates that you must give the owner a written letter stating if you are renewing or not. I suggest sending this letter certified to his address. If you still get no answer than he cannot hold you accountable if he wants you to renew and you already found another place to live. If you need further advice or help with your new rental search for your new home, please feel free to call Ron 212-999-6105 or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
If the landlord does not give you a new lease or notice, then you are a month-to-month tenant and no letter to the landlord indicating your intention is needed.
Thanks Ronz and HDLC!

Todd Bertuzzi cracked jokes and laughed at practice -- can a comeback be far away? For the first time in two months, he appears to be on the horizon. Bertuzzi hasn't played for the Detroit Red Wings since limping out of St. Louis Feb. 7, hampered by nerve pain that extended from his back down through his right leg. But he has joined practices this week, and he's in contact drills. Most encouraging, maybe, is that he's scheduled to be on this afternoon's flight to Phoenix -- and someone in pain wouldn't sit on a plane for five hours if there were risk of aggravating anything. Bertuzzi won't play Thursday at Phoenix nor Friday at Colorado, but every day he's on the ice delights teammates, who've missed him. "He tried to take my spot in front of the net," fellow forward Johan Franzen said, laughing. "I told him to beat it." Bertuzzi said he's hopeful that he'll feel even better within a week.
Wings' Todd Bertuzzi getting closer to return, will go on trip

Bony Fingers features an incredible 90m finger crack! If it weren't for the knobs, this steep, beautiful splitter would be 5.12 instead of 5.9. Located on "The Whale", approach by turning off of the main road to the right on a dirt road a little ways before the main road ends. This can only be followed for about 100 feet before a gate. Park here. Hike past the gate towards the east until the road appears to sharply switchback up and left (back to the west), and a secondary, lower, road continues east (this is actually the trail). Follow this sandy/gravely path for a good 10-15 minutes (it wanders a bit) until you reach an obvious swath of large, white talus. This talus field leads up to The Whale, which does indeed look like the head of a breaching whale. The route is on the left-hand margin of the formation, and the crack is very difficult to make out from the trail itself, but no more than two minutes up the talus it becomes apparent just right of a brown water streak. P1: The original first pitch heads up past a modern bolt, then right and up to another modern bolt (and an old relic), then straight left to the start of the crack. This looks pretty bad in terms of both rope drag and protection for both leader and follower, but supposedly goes at 10c. Alternatively, climb straight up to the finger crack via three modern bolts on 5.11b face/slab -- the climbing is actually quite good! There is a 5.8 move to reach the crack that would likely result in a groundfall, but the very tall can slot a wire in for toprope pro before this move; at 5'10" I was barely able to place one girth-hitched to another wire. This section may be R for anyone shorter than that, but the climbing is fairly positive. Once in the crack, climb up via knobs and thin jams to an obvious belay stance on a large, black knob that is split by the crack. P2: A 70m rope is required. Follow the immaculate splitter up and around the arete to a bolted anchor. Shorter ropes will require an intermediate belay. 5.9. If you don't want to carry two ropes on the climb, fix one end of the rope, send one person down over the left-hand shoulder of the formation on a single rope rappel, have that person fetch the second rope and fix it to the rap line so the second can pull it up and then do a standard double-rope rap.
Lots of wires and small cams up to 0.5 Camalot. A single 0.75 and #1 Camalot is all you need at the big end of things. Two ropes for rapping. A 70m lead line. A two-foot stick-clip to slot a wire in at the start of the crack might be a good idea unless you're very tall.
I was able to get a decent ball nut in after the three bolts, thus protecting the ground fall potential without a stick clip. FA: Gary Slate, John Aughinbaugh, (direct start) G. Slate, Jeff White, Leona Mukai. Reference "Rock Climbs: The Sierra East Side", 1988.
You actually do not need a 70 meter rope to do this climb in two pitches. I used a 60 (I climbed as high as I could for the first pitch) and was able to do in two. Also, I aided the first part of the climb by stepping on a sling clipped to the second or third bolts. The "11b" moves are very thin and I couldn't do them for the life of me! I recall the next move to get into the crack was a bit heads up (due to the groundfall potential as noted by the other comments). But if you're getting on this 5.10B crack (or can free the bottom part), it is probably not too big of a deal. Also, the top of the second pitch was a bit scary due to the crack thinning out to nothingness. You can place a very small nut or two, but then have to do 5.8(?) slab moves way above them to get to the anchors. With rope drag it was not that trivial for me. We rapped with one 60m rope, but it was rather involved (had to do a bit of traverse-rapping to a ledge, which was a bit scary). Not worth it, bring the second rope. It can be done, if you only have one, though.
Karin Wuhrmann & I replaced the 3 pro bolts on the 11b start in 2005, and Peter Croft replaced the ones on the 10c start sometime not too long before that. The slab at the top feels pretty easy to me, maybe 5.7, but I do it in 3 pitches so rope drag is negligible. Nice to hear about the ball nut, I have an extra-long nut (an old Trango one I think) that I bring just to reach the nut placement (I'm 6' but I'm even on ape index and can't reach the placement with a normal stopper). You can use RPs in the bottom of the crack, but the climbing is pretty easy there and good thin pro is not much higher. If this is at your limit, bring lots of 0.75" cams (yellow tcu/alien), since you need them for both the crux and the belay shortly after the crux (although you can sling a big knob to the right for the belay).
What a fantastic route! I was primarily concerned about the thin face moves to start and was beyond thrilled when I nailed 'em on the first try. I used the opportunity for a preview and did not swing leads. Next time, me and my lady fingers will tick it start to finish! That said, this is my observations as a relatively competent climber at 5'7" +2. I'll spare you "my beta" but hopefully you'll find the following helpful. 11b start is intimidating but sticky rock and a tightly bolted line provide a psychological advantage. The fresh new bolts and placement is a welcome change in the Portal. As everyone here has mentioned gaining the crack is a bit tricky. I was paying very close attention to the reach for the "future lead". I was not able to pull the nut (#6 brassy) from my stance. Unlike my partner who placed it with ease standing flat footed as a 6'5" +4 bastard. Darshan is most likely correct, if you can climb the moves below, this section is not the crux. Although, still heady as any mistake will leave the belayer wearing your ass as a hat! Small gear as Greg said using TCU's, Aliens (yuck), nuts or brassies. We climbed the 1st pitch to the large split knob and set up an anchor there. Lots of variety for gear at this spot, great stance knobs and a large knob to the right that is perfect for stacking your cord. This is an optimal belay if you would like to take photos of your second and/or if you are concerned about them making the starting moves. This lower belay allows for good sight and less rope drag than you would get from continuing up and around the corner. Upper pitch is more of the same fantastic climbing of small to 1" crack with it petering out here and there. After turning the corner/arete and up a ways is a fixed .5 Camalot Jr with a somewhat tatted sling but bomber as of 7/08. Utilizing a 60m cord and the lower belay we had to simulclimb to the anchors. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of that, you've got several options. A) use a 70m cord B) use the full length of your 60m on the first pitch and set up an anchor around the corner C) split the route into 3 pitches. The anchor supports 2 new Mussyhooks™. This is a must do for the area. If you are new to the Portal or a seasoned veteran, this route is absolutely terrific! Enjoy!
The original P1 is somewhat terrifying. I'm never doing it again, it would have been very easy to swing off and smack the ground or (getting up to the first belay) my belayer. Do the direct start for sure, if you had to you might be able to A0 and grunt-a-hoy, but it would be a lot better for your head if you charge through as a warmup to the crack. The route is beautiful (but can get rather toasty warm).
What an incredible route! We did it in 2 pitches with a 60m rope and a little simul-climbing on P2. The start is super thin but well protected. The runout section after the last bolt is sketchy but not as hard. However, you could deck from that point so have your lead-head on straight. Also, those of us that that are taller with a long reach can mitigate the runout somewhat by reaching up waaaaay high from the stance and slot a wire in the black rock at the start of the crack before committing to those last few face moves.
Leave the stick clip at home. It's not necessary to reach the good placement after the first three bolts: just link 2 nuts together for extra reach. See the photo above of girth-hitched nuts.
For those who, like me, don't lead .11b face at the Portal, it's very easy to A0 the 3 bolts at the beginning and skip right to dessert. I tried the girth-hitched stoppers suggestion from other users and it seemed to work well though it's hard to see how good of a placement it is.
The 5.10c original start isn't too bad - crux is first 20 feet and protected by a bolt, the traverse runout is solid friction and climbing is not at grade. Rope drag is manageable with long slings on the second bolt and first piece in the finger crack.
Yeehaw this route is awesome! Forget the 11b/A0 - the 10c start is graded softly for the portal and quite enjoyable. The finger crack is incredible! Would recommend breaking the climb into three pitches. You conserve a little more gear that way, and avoid (horrendous!) rope drag. Orange to purple metolius-sized pieces plus lots-o-nuts will do ya just fine. Seriously, the finger crack is *striking*. Have fun!
Approach was straight forward. Follow road/trail roughly 1.5 miles until it peters out into a talus slope. Follow talus slope up to base. You can see the whale formation from the trail. Don't take the first talus slope up that does not cross the trail. That slope goes up to trango / gaucho areas. Aided bony fingers. Did the 5.11b direct start with ladders and all. I was able to do two hook moves (2 bd cliff hangers) after the three bolts to gain the small ledge. Standing on the ledge I was able to place the smallest purple wild country zero into a thin shallow seam at about chest height. A small ballnut would work here too. I did not aid off the small zero, just used is as pro for the ground fall protection. While standing on the ledge I was able to place a small yellow DMM offset nut into the crack above (a standard nut would work here too). I had to link the nut with another to reach. I am 6'5" and it was a reachy placement considering I was loaded down with aid gear and ladders. Free climbers may find it easier to place. The crack in general is quite enjoyable. I remember placing a lot of small stuff including a #3 RP offset brassie, #5 BD steel micro nut, lots of C3's (specifically the red), the three smallest metolius offset master cams, and plenty of offset nuts. If you are doing the climb correctly and freeing it then you won't need all the specialty pieces. Doubles in C3's or equivalent would be a big help if I was planning on thrashing up that crack free. Nothing bigger than a red #1 bd c4 for the entire two pitch 90m climb. The last 25 feet at the end of the climb must be freed as the crack peters out. It can be done in approach shoes but felt spicy at ~5.8. It would have been more enjoyable without an aid rack and using climbing shoes. Two 60m ropes through the bolted anchor reach a ledge 10 feet off the ground that is 3rd class and can be down climbed easily. We brought a 70m and a 60 m rope up and they worked great.
This climb is so stellar and unique! Agreed that the slab start is soft for the Portal, but it still gets the engine going. All goes well as two pitches with a 70m. Per the Hoyt Axton country song: "Work your fingers to the bone— Whadda' ya get? (Whoo-whoo) Boney Fingers Boney Fing-gers"

Ello folks
ive got a bit of a dilema with my ram. ive been running 8GB (2x4GB) of this ram Corsair xms3 (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) for ages @ the rated specs of 1600MHz 9,9,9,24,41,2T 1.65v without any problems in slots A1 and B1. i know that some motherboards will default the memory to 1333MHz but for some reason this has always defaulted to 1066MHz. in cpu-z it shows as PC3_8500F (533MHz) and in the bios in spd info it only shows 2 profiles 1066 and 1600.
yesterday i installed another kit of the same memory https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...odid=MY-290-CS but its showing as different memory (PC3-10666C9). in the bios it shows the 3 spd profiles 1066,1333, 1600,
when i installed it i just added the new ram to slots A2 and B2. booted into the bios and made sure the timmings were at the rated timings for 1600, 9,9,9,24,41,2T 1.65v and rebooted into windows where it shows 16GB installed (12Gb usable). at first i thought it may be a slot not working properly but i dont think this is the case.
i tried a couple of different settings to see what would happen and this is where it gets wierd.
1st i loaded optomized defaults which loads the ram at 1066MHz and in windows it showed 16Gb usable.
2nd i loaded the timings for 1333MHz. then in windows it showed 16GB (7.9 usable)
i read a thread the other day where somebody had an issue where they installed 16GB but only 12 was usable but i cant remember what he did to sort it. this has totally confused me as its an issue ive never come across before.
i took the second kit out in the end untill i can figure out the problem.
any ideas folks??
cpu-z showed slots 1,2 as PC3_8500F (533MHz) and slots 3,4 as PC3_10666C9 (1333MHz) but running at 1600MHZ
any help will be very much apreciated. thanks!

It's Getting Hot in Here...So Let's Dine OUT!!
This time of year, HAWS' Mobile Adoption Center gets to visit restaurants!
During cooler weather these visits aren't so fun. Because of health codes we sit outside the food venues with the pets, talking to the customers as they rush in and out. Our adoptable dogs really get bummed watching all that food rushing by, too...
Warmer weather brings out the urge to dine al fresco, and along with that comes the ability to TAIL-gate (get it ? "tail"-gate?!) and 2 local eateries are hosting us this week:
Today, Tuesday, June 7th, from 4-7pm, join us at Culver's of Sussex - Hwy. 164 just north of Main St./VV/Silver Spring. Print out the coupon from our Mobile Adoptions page (or pick one up at the front desk at HAWS) and we receive 10% of the sale. Let's face it, it is a great day for COOL CUSTARD...
Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 8th, we'll be at Taco John's on Grand Ave. in Waukesha starting at 4pm. TJ's is actually doing several HAWS-aimed promos this month, including Taco Tuesday NEXT week. So feed that craving for Mexican (also on the brain in this weather - it kinda feels like Mexico, doesn't it?) and stop in anytime in June. If you see a blue dog on the counter, feed him, too...
So, c'mon out and join us in support of the HAWS cause - it is too hot to cook, anyway!
By the way - With the heat coming early this year, HAWS has some reminders:
Never leave pets unattended in your parked car. The temperature inside a car, even with windows open slightly, can quickly reach deadly levels. In sunlight temps can rise more than 30 degrees per minute. Anytime your pet is outside, make sure he or she has protection from heat and sun (a dog house does not provide relief from heat) and plenty of fresh, cool water. Heat stroke can be fatal for pets as well as people. Exercise your pets in the early morning or evening hours. Watch for hot asphalt which can burn sensitive pet paws. Contact your vet if you're concerned about your pet's health, and contact HAWS if you need help with temporary pet housing!

The 'Fort Report'
This week's show will feature Fort Wayne Urban League President Jonathan Ray, who will discuss the League's new charter school and the state of civil rights in Fort Wayne. The episode will premiere at 5:30 p.m. Saturday on Comcast Channel 57 and FiOS Channel 27 and later at www.news-sentinel.com. |
When Fort Wayne and Allen County merged their emergency communications departments a couple of years ago, some hoped it might reduce expenses.
When the former City-County Building reopened this year after more than $4 million in renovations, it was touted as the community's public-safety hub.
But now, with the city-county 911 call center openly looking for a new home and a key deadline approaching fast, both of those expectations are in doubt – a possibility that should alarm officials and taxpayers alike.
Ironically, the "downsizing" of the departments and the recent purchase of a new $17 million emergency communications system have rendered the call center's current home in the basement of what is now the Edwin Rousseau Centre too small. "We have 5,600 square feet now but we'll need 8,000," Director Tim Lee told County Council members earlier this month. Because individual employees are being trained to use a greater variety of equipment and because the new system is expected to require more room and electricity than the one it will replace, officials say, several new locations have been considered: hospitals, the former Kroger store on Spy Run and even the city's tallest building, One Summit Square.
Although the new equipment won't be installed until next March, County Commissioner Nelson Peters said officials should select a site within a month to ensure everything is ready on time. And as that search proceeds, it should be guided by a principle endorsed by Peters and Sheriff Ken Fries.
Taxpayers should not be asked to rent more space if buildings they already own can meet the center's needs.
Peters said an architectural analysis has determined that the county-owned Rousseau Center's basement could be enlarged for about $800,000 – a lot of money, yes, but a one-time expense.
"Our philosophy (when picking a site) has to be the question of whether we own or rent, and I won't agree to spend $100,000 a year to rent space, and I've even heard some people talk about $200,000 a year," said Fries, who has consistently claimed consolidation would not improve service or cut costs. "We can't keep wasting taxpayers' money."
Commissioner Therese Brown said it's still possible someone might be willing to provide space for the 911 center at little or no cost to the county. A hospital, for example, might waive rent in exchange for an agreement that the center would handle its dispatch calls. But for now, Lee said last week, hospitals' proposed rates have "been too high."
In fairness, the decision to merge the 911 departments came after the city had already begun plans to move most of its offices to the new Citizens Square Building, which in turn led to renovations at the Rousseau Center. Even so, the possibility of paying rent in yet another building raises obvious questions about officials' planning – or lack of it.
Peters, for example, was critical of specifications for the new communications system that appeared to steer the contract to Motorola, which also made the current generation of radios. Could a competitor have provided a system that cost less or needed less space?
Could the city's $27 million Public Safety Academy accommodate the 911 center? Maybe, but it's off limits because it's too near the airport and the necessary towers might interfere with aviation, Lee said.
Brown and others, meanwhile, say security might be improved by moving the 911 center out of the Rousseau building so public safety wouldn't be concentrated in one place. But wasn't that the precisely what the renovations were supposed to promote?
Couple all of this with the fact that county dispatchers' salaries were raised to city levels following the merger and you begin to understand Fries' skepticism. But there's still time to make certain the decision protects both taxpayers' safety and their pocketbooks.
And if the choice costs more than $800,000, it's probably the wrong one.
