This is one of my favorite 5.7s in Colorado. It's long (160 feet), takes good pro, and clean rock the entire way. The route is very easily found right where the trail from the road first meets the rock at a large flat opening. It's the obvious dihedral that continues all the way to the top. There is a second pitch. The first fifty feet is only an easy warmup, then the real fun begins at a small ledge. Follow the perfect crack up past some great hand jams and into a lieback finish at the top. Easiest way down is with two 50m ropes on rappel. The 2nd pitch is not recommended, due to the rock and private land issues.
Bring a standard rack with cams mostly between #0.5 and #1 (Camalots). I usually find camp tri-cams and large stoppers to be useful. If you are not completely comfortable at leading 5.7, then I would recommend bringing a #4 Camalot for the last move, otherwise it's not worth the weight.
This is a nice and safe route - a true 5.fun. This is also not a bad route to rope solo. To do this, scramble the slabby start to the base of the dihedral and set your anchor there. I think I used a 1 Friend and a 1.5 Friend. This route eats passive gear, but bring some cams in the 3 to 4 Friend range for sure. Any less-than-vertical crack that is friendly to passive gear should sound some alarm bells in your head before you pull your ropes after the rappel.
Totally classic! Can (will) be crowded on weekends, but, definately worth doing. This climb makes a good first lead climb for a lot of people...good practice climbing with and above gear. IMO, this would be a challenging first trad lead, but, definately good for that. Also, there is a whoping 20 foot approach!
Another name for this route is the "Classic Dihedral" (for obvious reasons). Great route that normally has a waiting line on any given summer weekend.
Mr. Shane Zentner introduced this area to me. The Bucksnort Slab is full of fun stuff! This route, in particular, is f*@&%$n' awesome!!! Definitely, save those bigger cams for the top--#3. or #4 Camalot. Top of first pitch is great belay on a huge shelf!
As Ben mentioned. You will see shredded rope on the way up the crack and you coudl have yourself a mini epic with rope problems on this route. The anchors are placed in a perfect spot to ensure your rope enters the crack at least once after being pulled. Be careful !! This is although a great route for leader breaking into 5.8 leading. The wide stuff at the top could warrant some larger cams (#3 Camalot) for security of the mind. Also, for the top part you DON'T need a big cam, as there is a very solid block slung with several pieces of webbing. Clip these and cruise to the anchors. Watch in the summer for bees in the wide section just before the anchors. Awesome route.
Classic climb. 160 ft of hand jams, finger jams, and laybacks. Bomber anchors and rappel rings. Bring plenty of gear as the route has many spots where you'll want to place it. Leave the #4 cams at home, clip the chockstone at the top, and run out the rest to the anchors. Celebrate with a beer at the Bucksnort.
Hey, I heard though the grapevine that the bolts were chopped at the top is that true??? I guess it happened in the last week or so 8-30-03.
The bolts are intact at the end of the first pitch and are bomber. After the chockstone and lieback section, the bolts are to the left and tucked up on a nice ledge that becomes more expansive as you move climbers left. There is a bomber hand hold at the end making the traverse left from the crack to the bolts easier. Great climb!
Cool climb with nice finger to hand jams, to bad it's so slick though...medium to large stoppers and .5 to 3" cams worked nicely. I managed to jam my carcass into the layback section up top...mmm love crack.
Definitely a classic 5.7! Leave anything micro in the pack and carry double 3" cams (save a 3" for the wider section near the top and don't miss the slung chockstone).
Great route...only caution you that there has been some rockfall on occasion.I recall one Fred Keith pulling off a bowlingball sized rock from the crack back in the 80s...lucky my GF and I moved from the trajectory and it landed on a jeep in the parking area below on the road. Moral of this story....keep clear of the base of the rock, and NEVER let your infants or anything you dont want squashed to hang around at the base of the climb. Have seen kids in baskets at the base of what is "clean" granite...clean for 99.99% of the time...but shit happens. Now you are more likely to be hit by another climbers gear, or body, but keep your loved ones or other dumb animals away from the base of this, and other, climbs. On on
Just to re-iterate.. Great climb. The bolts are there, the route seemed quite clean, and you can leave "micro" stuff behind. As for the first pitch, you really don't need a #3. I took two, saving them for the end and never used them. However, you may want them for the second pitch..
This was my first trad lead and it was sweet! Nice long route so lots of practice placing all sorts of gear. I mean everything, nuts, tri cams, hexes, and cams. The crack gets bigger as you go up and [definitely] bring the 3 Camalot, clutch before the chockstone. enjoy
This crack is indeed a classic. I did it for the 3rd time last weekend, and it never fails to impress. After scrambling up 25 feet to the start of the dihedral, it is fingers and hands with foot jams and some thin feet on the face for two-thirds of the climb. The crack then starts to widen out and you need to rely on some thin face smearing and possibly some off-width technique with the upper body. No need for a very large cam in the lieback section near the top as the slings on the chock are still sound. Bolts at the top of pitch 1 are solid at a nice belay ledge. I wouldn't recommend this route as a first trad climb unless you are already comfortable on cracks. The 5.7 rating is fair, but the route is sustained at that grade for 120+ feet.
This was a pretty great route. There are some climbs that are too short and this one makes up for it. A little on the slippery side and still pretty busy in mid October. The lieback at the end was great, nice little variety ending there.
Great natural line! If you want to find out if you enjoy trad climbing, this is your first real lead. The route is getting a little slick due to all the traffic, but totally protectable. This lead is amazing endorphin rush as compared to seconding or TR-ing it. The final off-width section, just clip all the slings around the chockstone and go for it as a lie-back, there is a hold that saves you in the end of the section. Don't try to chimney or suck yourself into the final off-width (you will spend another half an hour trying to get yourself out). (the webbing/cords were removed/gone as of 4/23/06 - you may want to bring some webbing &/or slings for the chockstone if you want to protect yourself on the final section - this is a very committing section -- I understand all of that was probably considered "tat", I'm not saying removing all of it was right/wrong, just letting potential leaders know they need to bring some removable webbing to sling a natural, if they feel that they need the chockstone when leading). Three bolt station at the finish of the route with some chaining for redundancy, 2-rope rap back down (a single 70m - not to the ground, it's just about exactly 50m to the anchor). After a rappel descent, you will learn to whip your rope when you pull it from the anchor so it doesn't fall into the crack. The photo submitted by Ross shows to really extend your rope away from constricting in the rock at the lieback section so as to prevent the rope drag. Also, please don't go up the slab near the house (continuing on from the end of the P1 bolt anchors), they haven't minded us climbing here, this rock is their property, but they don't want climbers in their face either.
I led this for the first time on Sunday. I thought it would be less exposed and easier to reach the start of the crack by climbing up the groove on the left. That was probably about 5.6 and had some reachy moves. I'm not sure I recommend it, although I got a nice sling around a horn before making the more exposed moves up to the first ledge. I was trying to not place any pro that was much out of line with the main crack, in order to reduce rope drag at the top. Some people climb the first 50 feet, place some pro in the splitter crack to the right and then move the belay up to the ledge. I wanted to do it in one long pitch. Ditto what others said about midsize gear and not needing small stuff. I used most of my big stoppers in the first 50 feet or so. Wish I had more 1" to 2.5" cams for the wider section below the layback section. I ran that out instead of stopping to fiddle with passive gear. As Mark said, the slings around the chockstone under the layback flake have been cut. You could sling your own, or I got a decent green Alien in the crack to the left then ran out to the anchors. Great route! Sustained climbing will give you a workout.
It's sooo freakin' long! I loved it. Don't really need anything larger than a #3. The second pitch is short, harder, and not nearly as fun.
Did this route today, it was my first climb in the South Platte and I must say it was a nice intro. A little harder then I first thought, but every bit enjoyable as it looks. I brought my #4 for the wide section but just ran it out to the anchor instead; a fall would have been fun though. I thought it was easier to keep moving then to stop in a weird lieback with (not the most positive holds) trying to place gear. Is the second pitch above the anchor? Waited for 2 parties to climb it this Sunday, could have been worse though.
Every time I come in to lead this climb, it shows me something awesome about climbing. I really enjoyed pushing the final section without the chockstone slings and just went for it for the final 25 feet, absolutely a classic!!
Climbed this route on Friday. The directions were a little misleading - the wall is only a mile from the turn to go to Sphinx Park, and it's on your left. It's hard to see as you're driving in that direction, so we actually passed it and on the way back it was right infront of us. Fun Climb....
Mmmmmmmm, this route will love you long time. I brought a #4 cam and found the perfect placement. Lie back the top - its the easiest way to climb this section.
I would be hard pressed to come up with a more consistent climb for the grade that I've ever climbed. Fingers, hands, fist to laybacking it has it all. But...don't climb it at 1:00 in the afternoon if you want to enjoy it - too hot!
The suggestion to only do the 1st pitch is a good one; otherwise the descent is a real pain. Very continuous at the grade; felt stiff at 5.7, but not an "8."
Fun route. Took two ropes and rappeled after the 1st pitch. Anchors look good, and expected a crowd but none materialized. Had the slab all to ourselves. Then found out on the long sustained route that I am seriously out of climbing shape :-)
Slab start, hope you like that, pretty safe fall though. Crack of all sizes here - finger, hand, offwidth. The new Haas et al book suggests double rack #0.3-2, #3. I used everything I brought up - nuts (medium to large), hexes (#1, #2, #3 equivalent). Leave the C3s in your bag. Didn't bring the #4 - as someone else mentioned it, you can place it at the section just below the anchor - which I had brought it. Doing it again, I would skip the hexes and just double the cams as suggested. Anchor is in good condition, just choose wisely which bolts you will use, since there are five (new and old). Be careful of the rap, it's high - we used half-ropes, so didn't have length issues. Easily the best easy, sustained crack climb I've done outside the Creek. Plenty of protection opportunities too (if you have the gear). I don't recommend this as a lead for someone not comfortable on crack and don't recommend it if you only have a single rack (you can run it out of course). I rated the climb 5.8-, the rock angle is good, but still demanding of the 5.6-5.9 trad leader.
I have done this route four times. Once, I placed only passive gear, lots of nuts and some hexes. So, I don't think you need a double set of cams.
I hadn't been on C.O.A. in twenty years, still a blast with a little Platte spice. Much funner with a nice full rack, instead of two cams, stoppers, and a hex. New book shows being able to rap with a 70m, not true. Double rope rap.

The link to the OOC http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...-OOC&p=9584396
(This RP is PG-13, romance is allowed, but nothing more)
So I have this idea, where 6 people that have committed low-grade crimes are sentenced to live in a house together, for 8 months, as a new prison experiment. They are not allowed to leave, food and supplies will be brought in for them by police officers. There is a check, once a week, by police officers, to make sure nothing fishy is going on. There is no T.V. and no computers. There will be 6 roles, and I will be one of them, so 5 available. You get to be anyone you wish, and get to create your personality however you like. Anyone interested? This is definitely a sandbox RP (If I understand that meaning right )
The end goal would be to get through the sentence.
This RP is going to start as soon as possible if people are interested enough, I will be the first person in the house, and evertime somone applies (and accepted) they would "Move in"
Bear with me, this is my first RP.

It's no so much that this author's columns have a propensity to repeat lies, it's that he actually believes that a spiritual authority gives him license to do so. Regardless, the words don't simply stretch a partisan opinion such as a Heritage Foundation fantasy. No, divine authority elevates him to a holy messenger status. And the Star humbly bows to allowing these ridiculous and divisive homilies.
The Times' article "The five biggest lies about entitlement programs" (9Mar13) takes direct aim at the general misconceptions and tactics used by right wing blowhards.
For most of them, I suspect they'd be happy to admit that they're motivated by money. But Sunday's star would never yield to something like an honest writing...even though he shamelessly uses the space to advertise for profit.
Check out Paul Rosenberg's column - he said it best in his 9Mar13 column "The troll beneath the Edmund Pettus Bridge." He calls out Republicans for they're error in asking normative and positive questions to problem solving, and asserts that "...without the errors, Republicans have nothing left to offer."
Pretty generous of him in calling lies "errors." But he goes on to write, "The normative difference that distinguishes the GOP is it's hostility to facts, and it's dedication to a hierarchical worldview profoundly at odds with America's most admirable egalitarian aspirations. On everything from global warming to evolution to Obama's birth certificate, the party treats facts with a mix of white hot fury and sneering derision."
Hmmm..."white" hot?
Sounds "right" to me...
The budget problems are all a function of demographics: fewer people working with more people aging and wanting services. WAPO has good article on medical spending....
Yes. There are politicians trying to make these issues known but they are summarily rebuked: Simpson, Bowles and Ryan, for example. The reality of an aging population requires a rethink of all services and systems.

Fun hard gamePros: Great game play even though it is really hard to get thru each mission. Graphics are okay, not extremely detailed but enough for playing. Cons: No way to cheat using codes. Many walkthroughs online, best way to get passed the difficult parts. Other Thoughts: Price was good. Worth it! Did you find this review helpful? |
nicePros: all i can say is that this game is pretty fun depending on what games you prefer to play Cons: none 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Challenging, but goodPros: Challenging, interesting, fun. You might die often if you're used to regular fps games, but it's fun once you get a hang of things. It's more realistic than most game since you die/kill easier. Your team is pretty good at killing enemies, so playing the game RTS style with the tactical map might be an option, though I haven't tried it. Cons: Save checkpoints are far apart, so sometimes getting from point A to point B might take longer than you like. Also, your team might fall behind or get lost, so be careful. Doesn't have terrorist hunt mode like the XBox 360 version, but the campaign is all I really need. Other Thoughts: "Windows 2000/xp (only)" still works on Vista if you're wondering. E8400 processor, Geforce 9600 gt, 4 gigs of ram, Vista Home Premium (64-bit). My first build. Runs WiC on highest with playable frame rates and under $800 including a few games. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not as good as it should bePros: Although kinda old, the price is great and the graphics are still very nice. Cons: Some graphical bugs, and poor AI for enemy and team can make things frustrating at times as a teammate walks infront of a mounted MG and swiftly gets cut down instead of moving into cover as directed. Other Thoughts: Not a bad game, but there are definitely superior games out there. Consider R6: Las vegas instead, as this installment of the Ghost recon series doesn't live up to par. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
FrustratingPros: Nice graphics, somewhat realistic weapons and tactics. Cons: Don't care for a game where one bullet from the enemy AI kills you, and you have to replay the same sequence over and over and over...Yes, may be the most realistic, but in real life rarely does one shot from a bad guy kill you unless they are an experienced sniper. You play this game paranoid to the point you cannot have fun. The COD games (all of them except for maybe WOW) are much more enjoyable. The com system with your floating droid is pretty much useless. You can get through the missions, but in many it requires relentless sneaking around the maps picking off enemy AI one at a time, which takes literaly hours. The whole concept of having to protect your squad mates so they don't get killed is tedious. Other Thoughts: If you are super an*l and do not mind spending hours in a mission, and replaying it 3 or 4 times, (and want this type of challenge), then this game is for you. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very Hard, Very GoodPros: First off: this is my first experience with a GR game Cons: Alot of this has already been said: checkpoint system is frustrating, friendly AI can get stuck and are sometimes just plain stupid, the game is quite tough. There is a very steep learning curve, I can honestly say I didn't really "get it" until the second to last mission. I'm hoping to pick up GRAW2 for the very purpose of using the tactics I picked up while in GRAW again. Other Thoughts: take my advice, if you are ever issuing orders from the tactical map, put the markers and directions where you want them but do not execute the command yet. Execute the command or commands through cross-com (there should be a new option to "execute" if there are orders in queue at the tactical map screen). Strangely enough, the friendly AI seems to find it's way around much better this way. Also, use the cover command ALOT, and make sure you face your teammates in the direction you expect enemies. They are much better at spotting enemies than you are, use that to your advantage. Also, take out mounted machine guns with either sniper or grenade, it just isn't worth it otherwise. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
OK for a day or twoPros: Pretty graphics and immersive environment. The AI is believable and sniping is sweet. Cons: frustrating save system can kill the enjoyment out of this game quickly. not to mention that the load time even further this problem. Other Thoughts: Over all it's a nice game but forgettable. Pick another like Mass Effect. You will be happier with your decision. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DifferentPros: Graphics, physics, gameplay Cons: physics isn't really physics, but rather interactive surroundings. don't get me wrong though, it's still pretty sick Other Thoughts: If you are a Battlefield type of guy (like me) and you go charging into the fight screaming your head off and guns a-blazin' then it will take you some time to get used to GRAW. The first mission I flipped when I got killed in like two bullet hits, but then again the whole point of the game is to be tactical and stealthy, not scramble around a 64 player map killing and dying left and right. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great game even better MPPros: Cheapest price anywhere in the WORLD. MP experience is one of the best I've seen in a while. Great graphics if you have the rig. Very good cut-scenes. Cons: I'd rather have a digital download. Can't jump in game at all, takes a bit to figure out how to play and command your guys. Other Thoughts: STEAM has all the Ghost recon series for $20 if you wanna play the older GR games. I didn't have them so I went steam. You want this game, and for the price you have to get it. Ditch your torrent (I did) and play the MP. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Thread: How to avoid injuries
How to avoid injuries
What measurement should we take or what protection should we wear while playing badminton to avoid common injuries like ankle twist, knee/wrist problems or arm muscles?
Also please state if you know which brand is good.
i feel that the best way is to do warm up and warm down properly. do some light stretches for the quads, hamstrings n calves, and shoulder rotation before stroking. and also do the same after the game or in between while you are waiting for your turn to play.
Warm Up Exercise to Prevent Ankle Injuries
Injuries are the greatest enemies for all type of sports because it can be life threatening, career threatening and also interest threatening. In this lovely sport we call Badminton, discussing about injuries, no doubt, ankle injuries are the top and commonest injuries followed by knees etc. All Sports Clinics through out the world received staggering numbers of cases of new (occurrence) and repeated (recurrence) case of ankle injuries every month. Having injured my ankle many times both right and left varying from type 1 to type 11/111 teaches me the important of injury prevention, and one of it is to do a ankle warm up exercise before you play. Going through a lot of physio programs, orthopedics consultation and own experienced as both as a coach and player, these are the simple, roughly 30 minutes of systematic ankle warm up exercise that i usually do before i go and play/coach that you also can do which i want to share with you:
Do this first.......
1. ROM exercise (Range of Motion)
a. Clock wise and anti clock wise exercise
Sit down, let your foot hang and make a circle clock wise and anti clock wise. Do it 5 circle with every 3 repetition
b. Dorsiflex (toe towards you @ foot up) and plantarflex (toe away from you @ foot down) exercise
While still sitting down, move your foot up and down. Do it 10 times for every movement with 3 repetition. For the final movement, hold it and count for 15 sec.
c. Inversion exercise ( twisting movement of the foot inward.)
While standing, do this and hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition.
d. Eversion exercise (twisting movement of the foot outward)
While standing, do this and hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
e. Abduction exercise (movement of the foot away from the center line of the body)
While standing, do this and hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
f. Adduction exercise (movement of the foot towards the center line of the body)
While standing, do this and hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
..........Very good, now we proceed with this exercise
2. Strength exercise
a. Dorsiflex exercise
Push your foot downwards against a non movable object (wall etc). Hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
b. Plantarflex exercise
Push your foot upwards against a non movable object ( you can use the forces of your hand against your foot also). Hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
c. Abduction exercise
Push the lateral/outer side of your foot ( the area align with your small toe) against a non movable object. Hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
d. Adduction exercise
Push the medial/inner side of your foot ( the area align with your big toe) against a non movable object. Hold for 10 sec. Do 3 repetition
..Excellent.. and the most important and final one....
3. Proprioception Exercise
This most important exercise and the type of exercise that people rarely focus that much. This is a position-movement exercise that will enhance the sensory ability of your brain awareness in regards with your foot positioning. Studies shows that there are strong correlation between by improving individual's proprioception, the of risk of an ankle injuries can dramatically be reduce. The method of this exercise is by doing a single leg balanced exercise. The approach can be different (sometimes in your own creative ways also), but the objective is just the same that is to challenge your proprioception ability. This are what i usually perform:
a. Single leg stand with arms apart and the other leg flex at knee
Do this for 30 sec. or more for both legs
b. Single leg stand with arms around body and the other leg flex at knee
Do this for 30 sec. or more for both legs
c. Single leg stand with arms apart , other leg flex at knee and eyes close.
Do this for 30 sec. or more for both legs
d. Single leg stand with arms around body , other leg flex at knee and eyes close.
Do this for 30 sec. or more for both legs
................. Magnificent. If you want to supercharge your proprioception ability more than do this this challenge....
e. Single leg stand with the other leg flex, take your badminton racket than do a forehand stroke movement (10 strokes), forehand lift movement (10 strokes) and left hand lift movement (10 strokes)
f. Single leg stand while the other leg in full swing, take your badminton racket than do a forehand stroke movement (10 strokes), forehand lift movement (10 strokes) and left hand lift movement (10 strokes)
Even though prevention of ankle injury involves other important aspect similarly like other type of injuries, locating ample time to do warm up is a must because it can and will make a huge significant impact in preventing ankle injuries. Safety starts from the beginning
I also think proper training is important to prevent injuries. Wrong hitting technique can also cause injuries. Same goes for foodwork.
I have recently recovered from a severe lower back injury. The reason was mainly due to intense badminton training. I went to see a therapist and because of her professional treatment, I am fine right now.
Anyway I would like to share my experience on how to prevent lower back injuries. I'll just tell my story. I started jump smashing at one point in time and I think i got too 'intensed'. There is no problem engaging in high intensity jump smashing but I made a major mistake by failing to cool down after my badminton session, and that is why I had this lower back injury.
The pain was with me for about 6 months but it was not that severe. Everytime and after i play badminton, I'll feel some slight stress at the lower back area but ignored it.
Until lately a very serious pain came out in a sudden. It was so painful that I couldn't bend down, lift any weights, and sleep straight.
Therapist told me the main reason was because I didnt cool down (do some lower back stretching) after my badminton sessions and the 'used to be' minor injury became a major one.
If you're already feeling some pain at your lower back due to badminton, i suggest you start doing some stretching before and after your badminton session. If you have a partner, friend, or relative, try asking them to massage your lower back.
I hope this helps.
Put a decent pair of shoes on, tie them! (shoes that can be 'slipped' on and off can lead to injury)
Do a cardio warm up to get the blood flowing, nothing too intense though.
Then do some stretches, if you feel discomfort that's fine, pain is bad! Hold the stretches for 10-15s
Check the courts for wet patches/dirt/ball bearings (yes it has happened)
If you ever find yourself in pain while playing, then you need to stop.
Follow these and it should reduce the risk of your injury. But sometimes muscle systems go a bit wrong and you can end up with an injury doing really light exercise.

Top 10 boutique
Hotels brimming with personality and charm
outique accommodation: Often breathing new life into historic buildings England's boutique hotels break the mould when it comes to accommodation. Individual, quirky, always run with passion and commitment, staying at one of these will leave you with unforgettable memories.
1. Seaham Hall, County Durham
Listen carefully and you'll be able to hear the roar of the sea from this clifftop hotel. The British poet Lord Byron got married here in 1815 but you'll find things have changed a bit since then. Just 20 minutes from Newcastle, the hotel's destination spa has a thalassotherapy pool and you can sip a cocktail while enjoying the sauna or hot tubs. The hotel's restaurant, the seriously foodie White Room is housed in the original 18th century house along with some of the bedrooms and suites; room 6 has especially wonderful views of the sea. If you want a more contemporary room, head to the new wing.
2. 42, the Calls, Leeds
You'll find one very special bit of equipment if you book a room that overlooks the waterfront – a fishing rod, meaning that you can lean out of your window and try to catch your supper from the River Aire. In the centre of the handsome city of Leeds in Yorkshire, this hotel was once a 18th century corn mill but there's little to remind you of the daily grind of life these days. The 41 rooms still have the original oak beams but you'll also find the latest technology, including free wifi. At breakfast you'll have home made jams and marmalades, kippers and a choice of 12 different sausages. And anything you managed to catch using your room's fishing rod.
3. Holbeck Ghyll, Cumbria
The tone for this luxurious but relaxed hotel is set by the welcome you get when the heavy oak front door is opened on your arrival. This a dog-friendly, human-friendly hotel. Overlooking Windermere in the Lake District, Holbeck Ghyll is full of individual touches, reflecting the owner's love of the countryside and above all, food. The Michelin-starred restaurant is recognised as one of the best in the country. The hotel's spa, set in the hotel's beautiful grounds, has thorough and luxurious treatments and you can set off on spectacular walks from the front door of this hotel, knowing that you'll get the same welcome when you return.
4. Mallory Court, Leamington Spa
It's a quintessential English country house, complete with tennis courts and croquet lawns. In summer there's also an outdoor swimming pool. Mallory Court's large grounds also house a kitchen garden that provides many of the ingredients for the hotel's two acclaimed restaurants, the Michelin-starred Dining Room and the more relaxed Brasserie that are both are overseen by award-winning chef Simon Haigh. In keeping with the hotel's ambience, the 30 bedrooms are decidedly romantic and the surrounding area is full of history; Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford upon Avon is close by.
5. The Grange, York
Staying here allows guests to feel as if they are in a classic English romantic novel. Built in 1830 for a wealthy clergyman and his family, this ivy-clad building exemplifies the best in late Georgian architecture. The grand drawing room has ancestral portraits, fires in winter and is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed drink before dinner in one of the two restaurants. The bedrooms are a balance between history and contemporary; you'll find four poster beds in some of the rooms but with crisp white linen, they are clean and sophisticated rooms which revel in their modernity.
6. Hotel du Vin, Birmingham
As the name suggests the Hotel du Vin hotel group was born from a passion for wine. In the middle of Birmingham's trendy Jewellery Quarter, this former eye hospital provides both luxury and a sense of theatre from the huge sweeping staircase to the granite pillars and the billiards room. In keeping with the hotel's love of wine, all the rooms are named after vineyards. To really imbibe the atmosphere, book into the Penfold Suite. With an 8ft bed, its own private gym and wet room, it's bold, invigorating and very refreshing.
7. Hotel du Vin, Henley on Thames
Steps from the River Thames, this Georgian building was once a brewery. Intimate and relaxed, many of the 43 bedrooms and suites surround a paved courtyard where meals are served in summer. The restaurant, the Bistro, specialises in produce from the local area while the Snug allows you to retreat from the world with newspapers and magazines and squashy arm chairs. What really sets this hotel apart though is its Bateau du Vin, a restored barge that allows guests to take to the water and explore life on the riverbank in a most civilised fashion.
8. Hart's Hotel, Nottingham
Proof that English boutique hotels don't have to be drenched in history; Hart's is housed in a daringly modern building that was built on the ramparts of Nottingham's ancient castle. An award-winning design with just 32 clean, clever bedrooms, in summer the hotel's garden is a complete joy. With views across the Nottinghamshire countryside, it's a wonderful place to to relax with a drink before heading to the adjacent restaurant. Run by Tim Hart, it has had food critics raving for decades.
9. Dial House Hotel, the Cotswolds
The Cotswolds has romantic, historic hotels in abundance but the Dial House Hotel is really special. In the middle of the breathtakingly beautiful village of Burton, next to the River Windrush, this honey-coloured house is a wonderfully relaxing home from home where you can relax next to a log fire before enjoying a delicious meal at the cosy restaurant. Upstairs, you'll find four poster beds, rolltop baths and a palpable sense of romance.
10. 55a North Road, Bath
Whether you arrive by car, on foot or by bicycle, it's not hard to see why this is an award-winning B&B. Just outside the centre of Bath, owners Natalie and Guy have turned part of their home into a hugely stylish guest house and it's a wonderful base from which to explore the area. For a taste of real England, there's even a fish and chip shop within walking distance! Their breakfasts have won acclaim – there's everything you might want to start your day with, from fruit salads, freshly made pancakes and a proper English fry-up.

The gamine Ellen Pompeo, 37, received her first Golden Globe nomination earlier this month for best actress in a drama series for ABC's red-hot medical drama, "Grey's Anatomy."
The actress is completing opposite Kyra Sedgwick for "The Closer," Edie Falco for "The Sopranos," Patricia Arquette for "Medium" and Evangeline Lilly for "Lost" for the award that will be handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. on Jan. 15 during a three-hour telecast on NBC.
And on a personal front, Pompeo became engaged to her boyfriend, music producer Christopher Ivery, on her 37th birthday on Nov. 10. The couple hasn't set a wedding date.
Pompeo plays surgical intern Meredith Grey in "Grey's Anatomy" at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle. She also provides the narration that bookends each episode.
Besides dealing with the trials and tribulations and extensive workload of being an intern, Meredith is having a hot and heavy affair with the hunky and newly single neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) - a.k.a. McDreamy.
She is also coping with her mother (Kate Burton), a once brilliant surgeon at the hospital, now institutionalized with Alzheimer's.
Pompeo was working as a bartender in New York in 1996 when an agent approached her about doing commercials. After working in commercials, TV series and in small films, the actress came out to L.A. in 2001 and landed a co-starring role in the 2002 drama, "Moonlight Mile." Pompeo also appeared in such films as "Old School" and "Catch Me If you Can."
Q: This is a big year for you. You get engaged on your birthday and then you receive the Golden Globe nomination the following month.
Ellen Pompeo: Yes, I have a few things to be happy about!
Q: Speaking of the Globes, have you started working on an acceptance speech?
Ellen Pompeo: No way! You know, I don't have a chance. Edie Falco and Kyra Sedgwick [are nominated]. Come on!
Q: But you have done good work this year.
Ellen Pompeo: Thank you, but they have done good work their entire lives! I mean I watch 'The Sopranos' and my boyfriend gets so mad at me because after every episode -- if Edie is heavy in it -- I always say I am so depressed. And he says why and I say because it's knowing you will never be that good. It's just depressing. And he'll throw a pillow at me. So I think I am just very, very happy to be the company of those women. Miracles do happen, but not very often. So I think Edie or Kyra deserve it before I do.
Q: Are you surprised that the series attracts such a diverse age group of fans?
Ellen Pompeo: I think that is the most pleasantly surprising thing about the show. It's surprising that the show is so popular, but I am just so happy that people are finding solace in the show.
Mothers are telling me it is something they can do with their teenage daughters because they are having a hard time getting through to them. This is something they can do together because the teenagers love the show and the mothers love the show. The fact that the show is a vehicle that is bringing people together is the most important thing to come out of this.
I feel hopefully we breakdown all sorts of stereotypes -- racial and medical. I love the fact that also -- not to digress -- that we do have so many elderly storylines in the show. I feel like a lot of shows are into what's young and hip and cool. The fact that we have 14-year-old patients in the hospital and 90-year-old patients in the hospital -- we represent all people.
Q: Meredith must be a dream to play because she has so much going on in her life.
Ellen Pompeo: I knew when I read the pilot I saw those three elements: Here is a first year intern who has a sick mother, who is going to have this romantic relationship with this guy. The three elements were present in the pilot and definitely I felt this was more complex than any film role I had been offered.
Q: Were you surprised about the headlines the series made over the October on-set argument between regulars Isaiah Washington and Dempsey when Washington used a homophobic slur about one of the show's stars? (T.K. Knight, who plays George, came out of the closet soon after the fight).
Ellen Pompeo: I wasn't surprised by it. I knew immediately when that happened, I said 'Oh, oh. They don't know how big this will be.' I knew because I already had my little experiences with the press coming after me and from me doing absolutely nothing. There were rumors I was anorexic and a diva. The fact that none of this was instigated and they made such a big deal about it. I wasn't in the room when the fight happened. I was in the next room and heard the fight and I thought this is going to be huge.
Q: Washington has publicly apologized, so have things calmed down on the set?
Ellen Pompeo: They have completely. There are so many people in our show. We are really, really lucky. I am surprised more hasn't happened. If it wasn't such a great group of people we could have a lot more chaos. Listen, we spend 17 hours a day together. We are pretty blessed.

The current version of WeakAuras is now located at http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/weakauras-2
If you are upgrading from version 1.x to version 2, you will simply need to delete the old addon folders and copy in the new ones, and everything will work as it did before. Do not delete your WeakAuras SavedVariables or you will lose all of your displays.
Currently, power values are only updated when the server specifically pushes a power update event to the client (which should be once every 2 seconds or so). However, it seems to me that in 4.0, these updates come less consistently (I've seen up to a 6 second wait between events in testing so far), and that is not fast enough for my liking. It would be possible to force displays to ask for new power value data on every frame; I'm just worried that doing so would be irresponsibly taxing on the CPU. It might be a necessary concession in efficiency.
You can always throttle OnUpdate to fire at a more reasonable rate, so that the impact on the CPU isn't as great.
I had PAC set so that on any toon that had a stance or spec switch, there was a box which displayed that (my pally would show I was in ret or prot, my DK would show I was in blood, etc).. is there any simple way to do this in WA? Just trying to learn it better, but couldn't figure that one out.
Very impressive design.
I've been able to replace ClassTimers and a combopoint addon so far. The functionality is almost there for me to replace Doom CooldownPulse, NECB (the cooldown timer portion of it), and a hud addon for HP/Energy. I'm currently noticing the following problems which stop me from using it for that functionality, and wanted to let you know about the possible bugs: 1) The Progress bar doesn't trigger when setup for a Trigger type of Other->Cooldown(spell) when the Ignore GCD option is selected. When the Ignore GCD option is not selected, it works fine except that it triggers for every GCD. 2) I like to use Doom CooldownPulse to pulse an icon image in the middle of the screen when an ability comes off cooldown. I can't currently accomplish that with this addon, and I think an option to trigger on a cooldown transition instead of a cooldown state would help accomplish it. I see you have an option to pulse an icon, but I can't get the wanted functionality without being able to trigger on a transition from "on cooldown" to "off cooldown" 3) The progress bars and Texture's don't update at a fast (smooth) enough rate for energy, and they sometimes don't update at all for some period of time.
Ahh okay, no, I was talking about the former, not the latter.. gotcha, I just need to play with it more to get a better understanding of how it works.. thanks!!
The import/export will be nice too of course.. our guild web site has a section devoted to nothing but PAC strings, and look forward to putting WA ones there instead :D

Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2012
After a repositioning of some of our key products – and a tremendous amount of work by our outstanding team – the KLC has reached record sales heights once again in Fiscal Year 2012.
Lottery sales in Kentucky for the year were $823.5 million (including $55.7 million in free tickets). This breaks the old sales record established in FY 09 of $810.5 million by 1.6% and shatters last year's results by $51.2 million or 6.6%.
We accomplished this feat in a couple of ways. Our scratch-off ticket program helped lead the charge, as we saw record sales of these games of $505.9 million, a 5.5% increase from last year. The transition of Powerball to a $2 game and the successful launch of the innovative 5 Card Cash game helped boost online sales that had lagged earlier in the year.
And these record sales led to record proceeds to the Commonwealth. A total of $216.4 million was earned for scholarship, grant and other higher education programs funded by the Kentucky Lottery. This breaks the old record set back in FY10 of $214.3 million or 1% and beats last year's mark by $4.2 million or 2%.
Moving forward, we need to realize an approximate 4.3% increase in sales next year to meet the proceeds amount expected by the Commonwealth. We are excited about several key initiatives on tap for FY13 to help us meet this ambitious goal – our new Points for Prizes program, major changes in the free instant ticket initiatives, elimination of our Final Top Prize program, and a change in the way drawings are delivered to players should result in either increased sales or increased savings.
In the midst of all this, college tuition continues to rise to record levels. This makes our work to provide scholarships and grants even more important. Tens of thousands of Kentucky students are directly counting on us to help them go to college, and we must meet the challenge of providing them with needed resources to pursue their degrees.

I'm guessing that's not your OS though... The source is available, but it relies on counters maintained by the drivers, so it's probably not real portable. For Linux, something could probably be written on top of IBM's kprobes (again, for hardware that supports it). I think the place to start looking would be around in the I/O MMU code. For OS X, Dtrace will be bundled in some future release, putting it on the same footing as kprobes, but then I don't suspect this is your platform for HPC (big locks, semi-microkernel). For Windows, there's perfmon, right? Just kidding. :) Roy

As the start of free agency draws closer and the Redskins remain over the salary cap, people close to the situation believe that it's "highly likely" that the team will release veteran cornerback DeAngelo Hall. The Redskins as of Friday afternoon had yet to engage in talks to restructure the contract of the 10-year veteran, and team officials hadn't offered any assurances that Hall remained in their plans, sources said. Hall is scheduled to make $8 million next season, but Washington is roughly $3 million over the salary cap because of the $18 million penalty the league leveled against them last year and this year as punishment for how they structured contracts during the uncapped 2010 season.
Signs point to release of DeAngelo Hall as free agency nears

BROWN CLOUD: Aerosols from cooking fires cover India and other parts of Asia with a thick haze that contributes as much to global warming regionally as greenhouse gases.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

Drone aircraft flying in loose formation through the brown cloud that forms over the Indian subcontinent have revealed that the nearly two-mile thick haze exacerbates atmospheric warming by 50 percent. This means the soot in the cloud more than cancels out any cooling from its fellow aerosols—and causes as much warming as carbon dioxide (CO2), the leading greenhouse gas.
Atmospheric physicist Veerabhadran Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of San Diego and his colleagues flew 18 missions with three unmanned aircraft from a base on the island of Hanimaadhoo in the Indian Ocean. Launched via radio control (model plane enthusiasts take note), the aircraft (each weighing more than 60 pounds and with wingspans of nearly six feet) followed programmed routes.
They flew in vertical formation: one drone directly above the brown cloud, one below and one in the thick of it. The plane above measured how much solar radiation bounces back while the one below measured the amount that penetrated. "The difference between the two tells how much sunlight is getting trapped in the atmosphere," Ramanathan says. The craft inside the cloud measured how water vapor and other cloud components were affected. But the key is, he says, "they all had to sample the same column of real estate."
The researchers found that "this brown cloud was as much as 50 percent of the background heating," he says. "We are sometimes thinking that aerosols might save us from global warming" by reflecting sunlight and dimming Earth below, but "our study shows us not necessarily. While they may be cooling the globe, they are causing mischief in other places."
The primary culprit seems to be the black carbon in soot, which soaks up any sunlight it can, thereby warming whatever it touches. And the dominant source for all this black carbon is cooking fires, Ramanathan says. All these cooking fires are, in effect, drying the region, both by contributing to the melting of glaciers that feed Asia's major rivers as well as by decreasing the evaporation that drives rainfall. Aerosols across the board, from black carbon to sulfates, appear to be increasing across Asia as it industrializes.
But the problem can be solved by swapping other fuels and methods for the wood in cooking fires. "The aerosol lifetime is two weeks," Ramanathan says. "If the world pays attention and puts resources to it, we will see an effect immediately. I'm talking weeks, at most a few months, not decades or centuries."
That contrasts with solutions for CO2 emissions, which will require much longer periods to show effects. Because the brown cloud appears to be at least as important, eliminating it could buy time to implement more far-reaching solutions before catastrophic glacial melt and other climate change impacts occur, Ramanathan argues.
Ramanathan and colleagues plan to demonstrate this on a small scale over the next few years in the Himalayas, over a 12-square-mile area in the foothills. "We want to create a black carbon hole," he says.
In addition, the unmanned drones provide a new and relatively cheap method for measuring such atmospheric effects, such as powerful storms or the absorption of sunlight in regular clouds. "To address that you need many aircraft to look at the cloud from all sides," he notes—and only unmanned, autonomously navigated drones will do.
Previous efforts, such as the one that identified the Asian brown cloud in the 1990s, cost millions of dollars to keep conventional aircraft airborne and could only capture data over relatively short time spans. "It's going to be a revolution," he says, "in the way we can look at the planet."

Wrongdoing (and heroism) in context
from Howard Zehr's review:
Philip Zimbardo's 2007 book, The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, provides an in-depth description and evaluation of his 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment. To study the dynamics of prison, this famous experiment randomly assigned college student to be guards or inmates in a mock prison. Within a very short time the project had to be terminated because it had become too real: "guards" were becoming abusive and "prisoners" were experiencing the traumas of real-life prison. However, Zimbardo's book goes far beyond the Stanford experiment. He extends his data to include the abuses and torture that occurred at Abu Ghraib prison - he was an expert witness in one of the resulting legal cases - and explores the dynamics that shape human behavior in extreme circumstances generally.
....Zimbardo points out that western institutions of medicine, education, law, religion and psychology are invested in an individualistic, "dispositional," view of human behavior. Both wrongdoing and heroism are seen as reflections primarily of individual choices, qualities and dispositions.
But individual disposition is only one factor that shapes human behavior; just as important - and in certain circumstances, more important - are situations and systems or structures. (Cf pp. vii, 7, 211-212, 320) Behavior is strongly affected by situations, and situations are shaped by systems and structures (p. 226). Placed in the wrong situation and structure, all of us are capable of terrible things. In the "right" situations and systems, all have the potential for heroism. Zimbardo does not deny individual choice and makeup, of course, but individual disposition is only one side of a three-sided triangle (dispositions, situations, systems) that shapes human behavior.

U20 Nations Cup Update |
National Teams - Age-Grade Women |
Santa Barbara, CA - The USA Women's U20s lost to England 37-0 today during the second round of the Nations Cup. England scrumhalf Fiona Davidson scored four tries on the junior Eagles and helped secure the Roses' berth to the championship game. England's opponent won't be named until Wednesday's games, when the USA and Canada face off. The Eagles were able to keep England off the board in the first quarter, but a series of penalties started to stress the USA's defense. About 15 minutes in, England stole a USA scrum, then quick-tapped through a subsequent penalty to send Davidson down the weak side for the try. Five minutes later, the USA found itself defending its five meter, repelling a hefty forward attack. Davidson swung the ball out to the backs and saw its wing get around the corner for the 10-0 lead. Ten minutes later, the USA stole one of several scrums, but the ball popped out the side. England recovered and fell over the try line, 15-0. The Americans returned the favor just before half, scooping up another ball that skirted out of the scrum, but England turned it over in the ruck. The ball worked out to the backs, where captain Harriet Mills inserted from NO. 8 and scored, 22-0. It was much of the same story in the second half, and England was able to run in another three tries for the 37-0 victory. Canada beat South Africa 27-7 in other match today, thereby tying the USA with a 1-1 record and two points apiece. The North Americans will decide who moves onto the final against England on Wednesday. England is expected to beat South Africa in the third round, and with the win will have beaten every U20 team in the world (there are six) in 2011. Stay tuned for a detailed match report and feedback. W L PF PA PD PTS England 2 0 78 0 78 4 USA 1 1 27 40 -13 2 Canada 1 1 27 48 -21 2 South Africa 0 2 10 54 0 -44 |

Vote for LesLester Townsend for Congress9th U.S. Congressional District in Michigan |
Home | Taxpayers Party of Michigan | National Constitution Party | Historic Documents | Contact Me |
A free download of my revised e-book is available in pdf format.I am a MemberVeterans of Foreign Wars.My BiographyFYI 2010 WEBSITE2008 WEBSITE2006 WEBSITE |
to all who supported me in my efforts to get out the message
that we can fix the problems addressed by the proposed Constitutional Amendment on this this web page. Now we watch
and see if the Socialist majority in the Senate will agree with the Republican House to cut spending and address
our problems. In the next election cycle the TEA Party supporters will
need to target the left wing radicals in the Democrat primary and
continue to keep the pressure on Republican spindthrifts. Where these
efforts fail it will be necessary to elect members of the Constitution
Party and it's state affiliates such as the Taxpayer's Party. I have ran for Congress in prior years to put forth a way to fix Social Security / Medicare without raising taxes or cutting benefits. The way to do this is to make changes to the Social Security Trust Funds that will stop Congress from looting the Trusts, and then transfer oil and gas properties owned by the Federal Government into the Trusts, with a mandate that the properties be developed so the oil and gas revenue can be used to pay benefits in excess of the amounts covered by current contributions. I have concluded that the restrictions on Congress can only be accomplished with a Constitutional Amendment since no Congress can legislatively bind a subsequent Congress. There is nothing in the Constitution which limits an amendment to a single item, and since change is necessary, I have concluded that an amendment covering multiple issues should be proposed. We must amend our Constitution to end the assault on family, marriage and the American way of life. When elected I will submit a proposed amendment to the Constitution which will do the following. Define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. End birthright citizenship and define natural born citizen. Stop Congress from looting the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds. Require politicians to only accept campaign contributions from individuals eligible to vote for them. Make English our national language. End government mandated discrimination. Prohibit Congress from requiring the purchase of any good or service. Prohibit any law which outlaws the growing, possession, use or marketing of any herb. Include a Citizens Line Item Veto to stop unconstitutional pork barrel spending. Include the Parental Rights Amendment. Prohibit any law with a primary purpose of protecting people from themselves. Overturn the Kelo decision. Prohibit government from exempting itself from laws it passes. The text of the language for the proposed amendment is contained in chapter 7 of my book and can also be viewed on the following link: Proposed Amendment. Nothing short of the election of third party candidates, who will propose and vote for this amendment, will cause our Congress Critters to pass an amendment which will limit their power. If I do not get elected this resolution will not be submitted to Congress. We must take back our country and I ask for your votes and support so I can do my part to restore our constitutionally limited republic. My views on a number of subjects are covered in the following articles. Less: (NO) RAIDING OF SOCIAL SECURITY!Less: (NO) DEPENDENCE ON IMPORTED OIL!Less: (NO) DEFICIT SPENDING!Less: (NO) ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!Less: (NO) OBAMACARE!Less: (NO) OUTSOURCING OF JOBS!Less: (NO) SAME SEX MARRIAGE!Less: (NO) SHARIAH LAW!Less: (NO) NANNY STATE LAWS!Less: (NO) TWO PARTY CORRUPTION!A note to those of you who vote Democrat. If you are like my late father-in-law ( a retired autoworker ), who would never under any circumstances vote for a Republican, and are discusted by the the attacks by the Democrat Party on the Christian faith. I ask you to vote for the Taxpayers Party. You do have a choice which is pro-life and for traditional family values. You can fullfill your civic responsibilities and vote without supporting a candidate who does not share your core beliefs.
