"Gardening in Containers," Family Home Evening Resource Book, (1997),307
Many people who live in apartment buildings or houses with little or no yard space may think they cannot follow the prophet's counsel to plant a garden. But you can grow quite a bit of food in pots and hanging planters inside your home or on a balcony. This activity will help you get started gardening in containers. Even if your family has plenty of outdoor garden space, you might want to try growing some of your vegetables indoors.
You can plant in almost any kind of container. Try using plastic jugs, garbage cans, milk cartons, cans, plastic bags, baskets, a wagon bed, kitchen canisters, or clay pots. The bottom of the container should have several small drain holes and be lined with 2 to 3 inches of small gravel before you put in the topsoil. Hang containers from windows, put them on windowsills or in window wells; line your sidewalk or driveway with them, or hang them from your ceiling.
The following chart shows you how much dirt you will need in a container to grow some common vegetables. This will give you an idea of what size container you need to use. It also tells you when to plant and harvest the vegetables and how big they will get. These are not the only vegetables that grow well in containers. You can try almost any kind that is common to your area.
Gardening in Containers

The Path That the Patriot Act Paved
It is at once exasperating and laughable that the very same people who indefatigably defended the so-called "Patriot Act" now act shocked that it has been abused by the Obama administration. If they had an iota of wisdom, they would have recognized way back when that the Patriot Act itself is a standing abuse.
A Response to Rich Lowry's "Conservative" Defense of Abraham Lincoln II
In his book Lincoln Unbound, National Review editor Rich Lowry says in essence that either we join him in revering the 16th president as "perhaps the foremost proponent of opportunity in all of American history" or else we support slavery.

Conservative Talk Radio and Amnesty
"Conservative" media personalities, such as Mike Gallagher, betray their listeners when they advocate amnesty, especially when they use the typical neoconservative talking points.

Bandit went to the other side Saturday morning. He couldn't find any position to lay in or sit that felt good for him. His legs had gotten shakey and he couldn't make it up the stairs so I spent the last couple of nights on the sofa with him next to me. Everything was happening faster than I had expected. I called the vet Friday late afternoon and took him before the office opened on Saturday. He's in no pain now and I know in my head and heart I did the right thing. He lived a very fulfilled ten years and I was very lucky to have him in my life! | |||
((((HUGS)))) to you Carolyn. I am afraid my Duncan will be joining Bandit soon and I am not ready! It is SO hard to lose our precious furkids but I truly think we are very lucky to have them love us as they do. *Debi* ~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~ | ||||
Ten years seem so short, don't they? This is the very worst thing about having a pet. But still the good outweighs the bad. Such joy and love he brought to you while he was alive. | ||||

How Much is a #1 Google Ranking
Worth to Your Business?
We at itop-seo.com help you market your website, build viral buzz, capture top search engine rankings, improve website, and increase conversion rates. With our exclusive approach we have boosted the sales, profitability, and overall performance of many websites. With search, when you increase traffic you increase profits. This is true for every small and large corporations. The traffic scale is only limited by your ambitions and the quality of the information you consume.
Keyword Research:
Did you know....
The little-known secret of Site Architecture…
that we develop for our clients and this is Relevance.
Relevance: Google ranks pages in order of relevance, and this is the key to SEO and at itop-seo.com, we have the expertise to make those pages very relevant in the eyes of Google.
How Google really sees your page?
We know that Google crawls pages and follows the backlinks of those pages and this way Google tries to calculate the meaning of a page based on the words and the relationships between the backlinks and the words on those pages. This is where we engineer the hyper relevance for your businesses. We know and develop your content to match Google's understanding of these keyword relationships and by making these changes or otherwise sculpting those websites, we instantly increase the relevancy of any page and rank those websites and they get sticky in Google search results. As we know what words , Google says are more relevant, we increase the relevancy of your content and backlinks and force any page to the top of the search results faster. This is the real SEO secret. Since Google already has the "relevance code" for every keyword, and we use it exactly in your site architecture, content and links. In other words, we architect your site as to which words Google is looking for in your pages, content and backlinks. This way you will always outrank your competitors as Google sees your page as more relevant than your competitors. We bet it couldn't get easier than that. Remember….
Relevance = Rankings
Rankings = Traffic
Traffic = SALES
Search Engine Optimisation or SEO for short is a very important aspect of a website's build. Why? Because SEO determines how high your website will rank when a certain keyword is searched for within a search engine. For example, a person looking for the keyword "dog" will look at the pages that have the best SEO built around that keyword.
Search Engine Optimization depends on a variety of factors. One of these factors is the site's arhitecture. Google uses a programs called crawlers to search through sites and determine their relevance. A poorly built site, or a site that is not very well optimized for search engines, will automatically rank poorly.
Content is also very important. The more relevant the content on your site is, the higher your site will rank. Finally, you have backlinks. Having a lot of backlinks, and more importantly, relevant backlinks is a surefire way to have your website on the first pages of Google.
Now, SEO is, as some people would say, an art. You can learn it, but you usually want a professional to handle this aspect of your website. There are a lot of companies handling SEO and a quick search on google for SEO in Sydney, for example, will return a lot of results of the best SEO companies in Sydney. Needless to say, you should choose somebody like itopseo as we know how to get our Clients to the top. SEO Sydney, Sydney SEO, SEO company Sydney or even SEO Sydney's work as well because an SEO expert like itopseo tries to cover as many keyword combinations as possible.
There is also the factor of keyword competition. For example SEO Sydney and SEO in Sydney are probably very valuable and up for grabs only for the strongest SEO companies in Sydney, while longer keywords with more words in them like Search Engine Optimization Sydney, Sydney Search Engine Optimisation or Search Engine Optimisation Sydney are not as contended.
That's how it goes for keywords. Keywords are very contested and they are becoming the new website domains. A common practice a while ago was to built blogs around specific keywords and to make revenue of the incoming traffic using SEO tricks to have the blogs rank high on search engines. You also have two types of SEO. You have blackhat and whitehat SEO, both terms from the hacking community, one reffering to the evil way of doing things through exploits and the other at the wholesome way of doing things a.k.a. playing by the rules. As you can imagine, the former is faster but riskier for your website, while the latter is slower but safer.
SEO wth itopseo will help your website tremedously. However it will take time to implement and it is an ongoing process, because of the nature of the search engines and because the search engines keep switching the rules to keep anyone from exploiting the system (too much). This is part of the reason it is considered an art, and not an exact science. Of course, if you are looking for a good SEO company, you might want to use itopseo and get the rankings you deserve for your business. seo melbourne fl

Einstein students recently helped a dozen local seniors take one of the most important steps to prevent vision loss from glaucoma.
Members of Bronx House Senior Center were examined for early signs of glaucoma at a screening on Sunday, February 10, organized by the student-run Ophthalmology Interest Group (OIG) with help from Dr. Joseph Zelefsky, assistant professor of ophthalmology.
The seniors were tested to measure their visual acuity and intraocular pressure, and their optic nerves were visualized in search of early indications of the disease. Assisting Dr. Scott Ketner, an ophthalmology resident at Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center, were the interest group's coordinators, second-year students Matthew Nicholas and Rebecca Weiss, along with third-year student Jimmy Yan Hu and first-year student, Julian Rothschild.
Early detection of glaucoma is essential, especially for seniors, since the eye disease is one of the leading causes of blindness and has no cure. At February's screening, no signs of glaucoma were found. And seniors wishing to protect their eye health will have another chance, since the OIG offers screenings regularly.
"The people we examined were all very appreciative of us taking the time to do the screening, and happy to hear they did not have signs of glaucoma," said Mr. Nicholas. "Several of them also commented on being happy to see young people out helping in the community."
Besides detecting signs of glaucoma, OIG members hope the screenings will raise awareness of the disease. "Ideally, people will tell their friends and family," added Ms. Weiss. "People should be screened annually, especially seniors, because glaucoma is much more common among that age group."

The claimant, a civilian employee at the [agency] states that he has been denied "equity" relating to pay retention. While the claimant apparently accepts the fact that he is not legally entitled to pay retention as a result of his voluntary acceptance of a change to a lower grade, he believes that he should receive retained pay for equitable reasons, including his having made a critical career decision based on misinformation which he received concerning his entitlement to pay retention. For the reasons discussed herein, the claim is denied.
The claims jurisdiction of this office is limited to consideration of legal liability, the Office of Personnel Management has no authority to authorize payment based solely on equitable considerations. 63 Comp. Gen. 50 (1983). Detrimental reliance is not a legal basis for the payment of appropriated funds. 56 Comp. Gen. 943 (1977). It is also well established that a claim may not be granted based on misinformation that may have been provided by federal employees. See Richmond v. OPM, 496 U.S. 414, 425-426 (1990); Falso v. OPM, 116 F.3d 459 (Fed. Cir. 1997); and 60 Comp. Gen. 417 (1981).
This settlement is final. No further administrative review is available within OPM. Nothing in this settlement limits the employee's right to bring an action in an appropriate United States Court.

I think Obama is taking big and brash to calm down the gun grabbing leftists like the Brady Foundation..A responsible,registered gun owner isn´t going to go on a shooting rampage because it would hurt the 2nd amendment protections,yet these are the people they´re going after..People still drive drunk even though blood/alcohol levels have gone down and legal defense costs have gone up.In other words,laws can´t insure everybody´s saftey,no matter how well intended.Alcohol is probably a main factor in domestic abuse cases but you´ll never see the left go after the alcohol industry,other than MADD.The education system is intent on brainwashing kids on global warming,equal outcome,diversity and all that crap instead of a big effort to get kids to avoid the scourges of alcohol and drug.How do you go from being a binge drinker in college to being a sober member of the workforce? addictions.because they´re drunks themselves.You didn´t see the big left get animated after well known drug addicts like Micheal Jackson,Whitney Houston saw their lives go down the tubes.Both Jackson and Houston made millions but wound up owing drug dealers and pharmacies millions of dollars.Where these teachable moments for kids? nah.

I want to know how many of these "crises" were spurred on by some anti-gun nut or organization to create a platform to push gun control. How much did psyche drugs contribute. No hard evidence yet, but the veil is getting thinner by the day. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Unpopular Opinion…
Doctor Who edition
It may be just me, but after seeing Chris Eccleston and David Tennant's eras of DW, I just don't like the show as much having Moffat write it. It's also the atmosphere of the show. And the fact that Moffat is losing my interest with all the plotlines that DO NOT make sense. I know he'll eventually explain them, but I very much prefer the way the episodes used to be, the problem will be solved before the end, and there are a few MAJOR TO THE ENTIRE SERIES sub-plots that will be tied up before the end of that season. The fact that the eleventh Doctor's show doesn't mention all the things we were taught in series 1-4 just loses my interest in the show. It's completely different.
It just makes me nostalgic for Russell T. Davies.and its always fucken saving earth
it used to be about saving everything, now its only fucken earth, 90% of the aliens are bad guys, and the doctor seems to be quirky just for the sake of it tbh i dread watching dr who these days its just painfull
ugh exactly. everything has to be a part of something bigger. it can't just be a subtle connection like Bad Wolf in series one, it has to be confusing all of the time.

Starbucks to roll out $1 reusable cups
Posted at: 01/03/2013 6:27 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Starbucks Corp. is rolling out a $1 reusable plastic cup at its cafes starting Thursday.
The Seattle-based coffee chain already gives customers a dime discount each time they bring in reusable cups for refills. Now it's hoping the new cups - which bear its logo and resemble its white paper cups - will increase the habit.
As with other reusable cups, the new cups will be cleaned with boiling water each time customers bring them in. The cups were tested in 600 stores in the Pacific Northwest over the past few months and will be rolled out nationwide and in Canada.
In 2008, Seattle-based Starbucks had said it wanted to serve 25 percent of all drinks in reusable cups by 2015. That goal has since been reduced to five-percent.

Clippers 126, Warriors 115: Chris Paul went off for 42 points and 15 assists as Los Angeles outlasted visiting Golden State in its home opener.Paul added six steals and went 16-of-17 from the free throw line to come within one point of his career high while Blake Griffin collected 23 points and 10 rebounds and DeAndre Jordan grabbed 17 boards. Jamal Crawford added 17 points off the bench for the Clippers, who bounced back after falling to the rival Lakers in their opener.Stephen Curry did his best to keep up with Paul, going 9-of-14 from 3-point range en route to 38 points and nine assists, but committed 11 of the Warriors' 25 turnovers. David Lee scored 22 points before fouling out and Andre Iguodala chipped in 14 points and 11 assists for Golden State, which was enduring the second night of a back-to-back. The Clippers took a 68-55 lead into the half but watched it shrink to an eight-point edge when Curry knocked down a 3-pointer early in the period. The Warriors were within 10 when Los Angeles began to pull away in spectacular fashion, getting three consecutive steals and transition alley-opp dunks from Paul to Griffin during a 9-0 run.A late surge led by Iguodala chopped it to 93-80 entering the fourth, and a pair of 3-pointers by Curry sandwiched around one from Draymond Green comprised Golden State's portion of a 9-5 run that briefly brought it to single digits at 98-89 with 10:03 left.Curry was fouled while burying his ninth 3-pointer and hit the ensuing free throw to draw the Warriors within 110-102 midway through the fourth. The Clippers ripped off a 7-2 run over the next two minutes to swing the momentum back and controlled the game the rest of the way.Paul had 18 points and nine assists and Los Angeles dominated the boards 25-16 in the first half to jump ahead.GAME NOTEBOOK: Golden State F Harrison Barnes (foot) sat out his second straight game. … Jordan and Warriors C Andrew Bogut got into a brief skirmish late in the second quarter and were each hit with technical fouls. … Golden State, which led the NBA in 3-point percentage last season, is 27-for-48 from beyond the arc in the first two games.

Revitalizing Alliance
By Ralph A. Cossa
HONOLULU ― The Feb. 25 inauguration of Lee Myung-bak as the Republic of Korea's new president opens the door for a revitalization of the ROK-U.S. alliance, a relationship that has been severely tested and strained in recent years as a result of policy differences and more fundamental ``vision" differences between Washington and Seoul. An increasingly pragmatic approach toward the Korean Peninsula on the part of Washington and the advent of a more conservative, pro-alliance government in Seoul makes improved relations more likely and perhaps even somewhat easier to achieve, but by no means assured. If the alliance relationship is to be truly revitalized, both sides need to take some decisive steps, sooner rather than later. President-elect Lee has already said that he plans to place increased importance on alliance maintenance and that he understands the centrality of the alliance relationship to Korean Peninsula security. But what is missing, in both Seoul and Washington, has been a clear articulation of the continued rationale and vision for the alliance both today and after eventual South-North reconciliation or reunification. Such a vision existed, and was clearly articulated during the Kim Dae-jung and Clinton administrations, but has not really been spelled out since then. The last time Presidents Roh Moo-hyun and George W. Bush held a summit meeting, they did not even issue a joint statement. The time before that, they issued a vague statement that focused more on multilateral cooperation than on the future relevance of the bilateral relationship. One would hope that incoming President Lee, shortly after his election, would issue a broad vision statement about South Korea's desired future role in Asia and in the world and how the ROK-U.S. alliance fits into this vision. Kim Dae-jung used to argue publicly and persuasively that South Korea had to maintain good relations simultaneously with its four giant neighbors ― China, Japan, Russia, and the United States. And he also argued that that the best, perhaps the only way, that this could be accomplished, was through the continued viability of the ROK-U.S. alliance relationship, which provided Seoul with the necessary security assurances to deal with its other three more immediate neighbors. The U.S., in effect, was the ``outside balancer'' that made Northeast Asia harmony possible. This was true in the near term, when faced with uncertainty regarding North Korea's future direction and behavior; it would be equally, if not more true were North Korea to either disappear or become somehow incorporated into a greater Korean confederation or unified nation under the political, economic, and social system existing today in the South. Does Lee Myung-bak see the future in similar terms? If so, a clear articulation of his vision is needed prior to any summit meeting with President Bush. This would then set the stage for a joint statement articulating a common vision for the alliance and its future role and relevance, one that would hopefully be quickly endorsed by U.S. presidential aspirants from both parties (all of whom have a strong record of supporting the alliance relationship). President-elect Lee appears to have already reconsidered his earlier plan to dismantle the Ministry of Unification and incorporate it into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This is both regrettable and fully understandable, for political (as opposed to geopolitical) reasons. But it was not the existence of the Ministry of Unification that caused so many problems over the past five years, it was the tendency of its various ministers to continually make statements that undercut the Foreign Ministry's many attempts to speak with one voice with Washington in dealing with North Korea. In fairness, the Bush administration had an equally difficult time speaking with one voice on Korea during its first four years, as the Vice President's Office continually undercut the State Department's efforts to reach accommodation with North Korea. Fortunately, President Bush has exercised long-overdue leadership in placing his faith and support behind Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her top North Korea negotiator, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill. One of President Lee's most important early tasks will be to ensure that his foreign and unification ministers speak from the same page, one that he (and hopefully Washington) will actively and enthusiastically endorse. Lee has already said all the right things: that his government will remain committed to South-North engagement ― indeed, he has even pledged to raise the North's GDP six-fold (to $3,000) within 10 years ― but only if Pyongyang honors its denuclearization pledges. This dovetails nicely with Washington's stated position (the views of disgruntled neocons notwithstanding), which stresses the potential pot of gold that awaits the North at the end of the denuclearization rainbow. It is essential that this position not be undercut by the next unification minister, not just for the sake of ROK-U.S. relations but for the credibility of the Lee Myung-bak administration. There are of course many other contentious issues that must be addressed. Many Lee supporters want to revisit the decision to switch wartime operational control of ROK forces from the ROK-U.S. Combined Forces Command (led by a U.S. general) to South Korea by 2012. There is also a need for contingency planning (regardless of who is in charge) in the event of a North Korean collapse or rejection of the denuclearization pact. The two sides also need to craft a consistent policy regarding North Korean human rights issues ― Secretary Rice gets some credit here for silencing one of the loose cannons on this issue (although firing would have been the more appropriate response), when human rights envoy Jay Lefkowitz gave an unauthorized speech which undercut Assistant Secretary Hill's arguments. Moving forward (or failing to do so) on the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will also have implications for the health of the alliance. Here Lee has an easier task than does Bush, given the politicization of FTAs ― it has been disappointing (but again not surprising) to see certain candidates arguing against an agreement that clearly serves U.S. economic, trade, and security interests, in order to appeal to certain domestic political constituencies. All these issues will ultimately need to be addressed. But the essential first step is to craft a unified joint vision of how the alliance fits into Lee Myung-Bak's broader vision of where he wants to take Korea in the coming years. The sooner this is done, the sooner the revitalization process can begin. Ralph A. Cossa is president of the Pacific Forum CSIS (email@example.com), a Honolulu-based non-profit research institute affiliated with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

I'm interested in spacecraft. My favorite is SpaceShipTwo, the flagship of Virgin Galatic. I like this topic because they are bringning us closer to the future, and I like SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE! I know that the first maned spaceship was Vistok 1, the ball like space craft that went up into orbit, with Gigarin inside. The first reusible spacecraft to be made was the Enterprise, the shuttle that never went into space, but was operational(it was a prototype). You can see it in the DC. The first Shuttle to go into space is no longer with us, it tragicly failed on its last voyage. You can go into SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE to, on SpaceShipTwo, for the low price of $200,000!

TUCSON - On Thursday, News 4 Tucson Chief Meteorologist Rob Guarino stopped by Brichta Elementary to quiz the students on their knowledge of the weather, and much more.
The boys team trailed the girls for much of the day during Rob's Weather IQ challenge, but the boys managed to pull it out and rack up a score of 200 points for Brichta Elementary.
So far this year, the boys teams lead the girls teams 6 to 5 out of 11 total school visits.
Rob has been traveling all over Southern Arizona since the start of the school year, challenging students with his Weather IQ challenge. The game show-style event tests students' knowledge of weather, math, science, and even pop culture.

Let Tuesday Roll
I'm all over the place today (seems like I've written that before). So I thought what better way to lead off my grab bag o' thoughts than to just put it – so there it is.
For all the posturing and good news about the health of Carlos Beltran's knee, word from the Mets is that he will not start his minor league rehab assignment this week. In fact, some reports seem to suggest that he is still running with a limp at times. I'm still not counting on him being back until the All-Star break, so even if he does somehow return before that point I won't be counting on much production.
Ryan Braun has an OPS of .865 which is, remarkably, less than guys like Austin Kearns (.877), David DeJesus (.871) and Luke Scott (.868). Come on Mr. Braun, get her in gear buddy. Speaking of getting it in gear, how wretched has Prince Fielder been this year? Fielder has 24 RBI, the same total as Eric Hinske who has 120 fewer at-bats, and his .447 SLG is lower than Gaby Sanchez (.452) who has all of seven homers. All told, Fielder is on pace for 30 homers and 61 RBI. That's the kind of production you were hoping for when you spent your second round pick on Fielder this season, isn't it? I know it's really close to the 46 homers and 141 RBI he had last season. Goodness.
If you spent all day watching True Blood's season three opener over and over again, you might have missed the fact that the Athletics traded for Conor Jackson. If you did, or if you simply are curious, you can find my thoughts about the deal at Around the Horn – Bay Area Style.
Aaron Heilman has been named the closer for the D'backs ending the nightmare that has been the closing run of Chad Qualls. At the same time, manager A.J. Hinch indicated that he will use Heilman when he is needed most based on the game situation, so he could still pitch in the 7th or 8th innings. With as bad as that pen has been, they might see if they can find a way to get Heilman to pitch the 7th, 8th and 9th innings each night.
Am I the only one out there fellas that hates shaving everyday? Wait, I don't have to do that because I have one of the coolest jobs in the world. Don't spread this around either, but I also wear slippers to work on some days. How bad do you want to be me right now?
Never known as a power bat, Howie Kendrick has 18 RBI in his last 14 games for the Angels. Kendrick knocked in 61 runs last season, a career best, and is currently on pace for 101 this season. Of course, you know these things have a way of evening out which is why it's hardly surprising to see that he is batting only .273 this season (career .297).
People always wonder what my thoughts are on players – at least that's what I tell myself even if there are only three of you out there who continue to submit questions from various email addresses. For those of you that do care about my thoughts, or simply would like to see some analysis of pitchers Derek Lowe, Ricky Nolasco, James Shields, Matt Talbot and C.J. Wilson, the link to The Chopping Block is one that you'll want to click on.
I'm sitting here staring out the window thinking about my plans for Wednesday night. Since my life is always private – when have I ever written or talked about it (wink, wink) – I'll simply state I'm looking forward to it about as much as Matt Holliday is looking forward to hitting second in front of Albert Pujols, the best hitter in baseball, and that's a lot.
Jamie Moyer and Kyle Kendrick have been flipped in the Phillies rotation meaning Moyer will pitch Wednesday and Kendrick Thursday. Since both will face the Yankees you shouldn't have either active regardless of when they are on the bump.
Speaking of the Phillies, the latest report seems to suggest that Jimmy Rollins (calf) might still be a year, I mean a week, away from returning. I got confused there and thought we were talking about Brian Roberts.

On the east face of the Lower Tier, immediately right of the route with two giant holes at the bottom. Very pumpy and unrelenting but no move is harder than about 5.10d. There are cruxy moves at the top and bottom of the climb, and knowing which holds to use is key. Trust your feet and be patient.
There are 14 bolts, with chain anchors at the top.
Burrrrnnneeeyyy. Only a couple of resting points on the way up. Very interesting moves on the top and bottom, with scarce deminishing feet in many sections. Beware!!! The 8th and 12th bolts are loose, and will probably pull out on someone pretty soon.
One of my Bay Area favorites. The start frustrates a lot of people, but once you get past it, it's sustained and intense. If you have a TR set up on it, you can climb up Amazing Face a bit and swing over to skip the start. That's cheating, to be sure, but if the first couple moves are stumping you, at least you can enjoy the rest of it.
The 8th and 12th bolts need redrilling, as they are both quite loose.
This is a great route! First moves are frustrating. Fingers and feet slip off without warning. I think this route is mistakenly rated at 5.10b in the newest Bay Area Climbing book. No way is this 5.10b! I think the bottom moves are the hardest with another hard move getting to third bolt. There are 2 or 3 no hands rests but on the lead I couldn't take advantage of them. Last move to the chains was very hard for me too as my arms were fried. A very enjoyable climb once you get off the ground! I would say at least a letter grade harder than Ozone direct variation which is really only one hard move. *** I just registered but wanted to post this today. Paul Rezucha
Very nice and technical climb. Using a pair of lace up shoes will help you stand on small footholds. hard start and sustained climbing up to a second crux at the top, some creative footwork required. It was my first time at Mt Diablo (climbing) and I was very surprised, this place is a little gem. A little too many bolts on the route ( 12!) and .11a in my opinion. because of the 2 cruxes and because of the continuity.
Sandy up top, and the flakes left behind near where the old bolts were pulled are ready to snap. COnstant TR'ing had worn the top holds so soft nubs and it is a little scarey up there. This is not a 'speach' it's just an observation. The nature of this stone gives itselt to that sort of issue. Good route, but a little mucky when it's hot or humid. Do it before you wear your pads down to a seaping mess- you need the friction. harder than any of the other 10's by leagues. compared to this, Ozone and Diagonal Crack (even on trad lead) are cake walks.
Dire Blow(?) Right of "Bolt Route" (can't we came up with better names here?) rebolted, very technical 5.11c. the first bolt is a bit high, but once you have the starting sequence of moves down, is not that scary. the route continues on tiny crimps and sidepulls with med to hig feet moves, very interesting overall. Skip the last 2 old rusty bolts for the new ones a bit on the left.Beautiful climb, to do as soon as you send "Bolted Route"Lead it!
Very nice climb! Thin sustained face and many many bolts to make you feel safe and warm inside. I didn't notice the loose bolts, they may have been replaced by now. Bay area climbs has it rated at 10b....no freakin' way! Solid 11a, possibly a/b.
I concur with others, the first 15 ft of climbing is the hardest. And definitely STOUT 5.10. Gee why don't the simply rate it what it is!(5.11c)
Hans is right! The start is hard for the first 2 - 3 bolts. Maybe when it was first done it was 5.10 but it is sandstone and stuff has broken off. If this isn't 11.c then there are a lot of other 5.11's out there that are overrated.
Ya, I climbed this today, well more like crawled up the route. I also agree with Hans, that is more like a 11c. I mostly say that because it makes me feel better about myself.
I rope soloed this today. Easy enough with the bolts every 5 feet. My first impression--11c/d. Glad to see others agree. Now, start calling that route right of the crack what it is--12B.
I think this is one of the best climbs at the crag. It is long,very technical, well protected and super fun.
This route is sand-bagged. I was hoping to have a nice cruiser to finish the day yesterday and holy shit! This route destroyed me! The beginning sequence is bouldery, and I would say is at LEAST V2, if not V3. The top crux is at least V2 as well, so there is no way this goes at 10d. I am being tentative when I say it's 11b/c because my feet were sore and maybe it's a style of sandstone thin face climbing that I am less familiar with. But really guys, I think we're looking at 11c/d here. I think the first crux is V3 and the last is V2 but just as hard because of how sustained the route is. Great line, excellent route.
.11 for sure
Need to update the bolt count as it is 13 bolts with a 2 bolt anchor. Super well protected, though. I also think this is a 5.11b/c. The start is a v3 and the section from bolt 12-13 has a 3-finger pinch step through. If you like slabby crimposaurus climbs, this is right up your alley.
All lead bolts (except 1st) were replaced with 6" stainless glueins as of 8/31/13. 6 bolts failed with little effort on inspection. Two were 5/16 threaded studs which were actually bent and cracked below the hanger. Others (also 5/16) showed signs of weakening and coming loose from the holes so were replaced as well. The rest of the bolts on the route were the same kind as the ones that failed though showed no visible signs of possible failure. Due to the condition of the other similar bolts on the route, all were replaced for redundancy. The first bolt on the route was bomber.
Great! Thanks for the new Glue-ins. They are so much better!

Wilson President Barbara K. Mistick recently visited several women's colleges in South Korea and China while on a trip to attend the Women's Education Worldwide 2012 Conference at Ginling College in Nanjing, China.
Dr. Mistick visited Ewha Womans University and Seoul Women's University, both in Seoul, Korea. While at Ewha, she met with its president, Sun-Uk Kim, as well as Dean Chan Kil Park and Professor Chang Pilwha, who is also the director of the Asian Center for Women's Studies.
Mistick and Seoul Women's University President Kwang-ja Rhee signed a new agreement that reinforces and strengthens the relationship between the two colleges. Since establishing a partnership in 1996, more than 100 students from SWU have attended Wilson. The new agreement expands the number of exchange students - which had been limited to six and is now unlimited - and provides for five or more Wilson students to attend the summer Bahrom program at SWU.
On June 8, she arrived in Nanjing, China, for the Women's Education Worldwide 2012 Conference at Ginling College, which is part of Nanjing Normal University. The theme of this year's conference was "Gender Issues in Higher Education: Global and Local Experience."
Former Wilson President Lorna D. Edmundson was one of the conference speakers on June 9. Her topic was "Key Findings that Inform Practice in Educating Transformative Women Leaders."
The conference ended on June 10.

December 12, 2007
by Diana Furchtgott-Roth
In order to evaluate yesterday's Federal Reserve decision to lower short-term interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, Americans need to know the magnitude of the current "credit crisis." Is it indeed a threat to the economy? Or has the "crisis" been exaggerated?
The Fed's decision, its third cut in four months, shows its concern that the credit crisis in subprime mortgages poses serious economic risks beyond the housing sector. The president of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank, Eric Rosengren, dissented because he thought rates should be cut more, by half a percentage point.
The new plan of Treasury Secretary Paulson, to which several lenders agreed, seeks to contain the crisis by letting some holders of adjustable-rate mortgages keep their low "teaser" rates.
Although perhaps a short-term solution, the government-sponsored rewriting of existing contracts is unprecedented. It's likely to harm future borrowers, since lenders will be less willing to lend at favorable rates if they believe the government can step in and pressure them to change terms of contracts.
Finance professor of Columbia Business School Charles Calomiris thinks we're not yet in a crisis. Next Monday, at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., he'll argue that the economy is not in such bad shape, and that the economic consequences of the present credit crunch will be more modest than many have thought.
Taking the opposing side will be the former managing director and chief emerging market economic strategist at Salomon Smith Barney, Desmond Lachman. His view is that credit markets are in as much turmoil now as when the crisis first erupted in August, and that the ongoing housing market bust runs the risk of aggravating that turmoil.
Mr. Calomiris says that it's too early to conclude that our banking system will be unable to cope with the wave of defaults and will have to curtail lending. Rather, he believes that the financial system will be able to absorb mortgage and securitization shocks in an orderly fashion.
The Columbia professor portrays the housing finance shock as small relative to the total economy. Although losses will probably range between $300 billion and $400 billion, housing prices are slipping but not collapsing. The most precise measure of changes is from the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's index that compares sales prices of the same houses over time. The prices declined by only 0.4% in the third quarter of 2007, the first quarterly decline in 13 years. Prices of the same houses were 1.8% higher a year ago.
Prices declined in 21 states and in just over half of the metropolitan areas tracked by OFHEO. New York State's prices declined by less than 1%, 0.82% to be precise, which is the second quarter of decline for the state.
The shock to the economy of the problems with subprime loans has been magnified because of the new and widespread way that institutional home loans are bundled and sold to institutional investors. It's all but impossible to know which mortgages in which bundle are sound. Asset values have declined because some loans within a bundle might go into default and foreclosure. The fraction may be small, or not, but the uncertainty rattles markets.
Mr. Calomiris recommends reforming the ratings agencies, such as Moody's and Standard and Poor's, which have failed at the crucial task of measuring the risk of mortgage-backed securities. The government has essentially transferred regulatory power to ratings agencies, which have incentives to grade securities favorably because investors want to be able to buy a wide range of top-rated securities.
Grade inflation affects credit rating agencies as well as schools. Rather than assign letter grades to bundles of securities, the agencies should make clear the default probabilities and risk of investment. Rating agencies sell investors the tools to calculate this for themselves but don't publish the information.
In contrast, Mr. Lachman sees a much larger crisis in the making. "House prices have started to decline and could very well decrease by 5-10 percent a year over the next few years, which will erode the underlying collateral of bank mortgage lending," he said over the phone.
He argues that lending standards were relaxed imprudently and credit spreads between risky and less risky assets were reduced to historic lows. Markets were clearly mispricing risk, with sub-prime mortgage lending the clearest case of poor lending decisions. However, bad lending decisions were also made with respect to credit card, auto, and home equity lending.
So, who is right? It's clear that prior to this summer credit risk was underpriced. In July, the spread between the three-month London interbank rate, or LIBOR rate and the three-month Treasury bill rate was 0.54%, meaning that investors demanded .5% more in returns on risky non-government bonds.
But credit moves in jumps. In August the spread rose to 1.28%, and in November it was 1.69%, meaning that last month investors demanded almost two percentage points more to put their money in banks rather than safe government investments. That doesn't mean markets aren't working. They're working, but at a different set of prices.
Some well-capitalized banks, such as HSBC, are originating new deals every day. There's plenty of credit for good borrowers at the right price. However, with other investors backing away from any security that they don't immediately understand, and securities issuers not yet prepared to pay the additional risk premium these investors require to cover their structuring risk, the mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities markets are drying up.
It may be years until there's a final, retrospective verdict on whether or not America is in a credit crisis this winter. The Fed, though, isn't waiting for that verdict. They are playing it safe.

Prince Fielder finally did something right.
Then it went oh-so wrong again for the Tigers� slugger, as a sixth-inning rally was cut short by some awfully bizarre baserunning.
Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz was lifted by manager John Farrell after issuing a leadoff walk to Torii Hunter, then allowing a single by Miguel Cabrera. Franklin Morales, the left-handed reliever brought in from the bullpen, promptly walked Fielder on four pitches to load the bases.
And after Victor Martinez followed with a single to the wall in left-center field, the Tigers had not only turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead, they had a chance for more with runners at the corners and no outs.
But Jhonny Peralta hit a grounder to second off right-hander Brandon Workman, and with Fielder breaking toward home on contact, it appeared there�d be a play at the plate. Victor Martinez held up between first and second trying to avoid a tag for as long as he could, but Fielder inexplicably held up between third and home as well.
That allowed second baseman Dustin Pedroia to turn the double play, tagging Martinez, then throwing it to catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia to get Fielder in a rundown that ended about as poorly as it started for the big first baseman. He flopped wildly in an headfirst attempt to beat a tag at third base, only to discover he was a few feet short � and right � of the bag.
Two outs, rally snuffed. And after Leyland lifted Peralta for Don Kelly as a pinch-runner -- and defensive replacement -- catcher Alex Avila struck out to end the inning.
Afterward, Fielder's explanation wasn't much better than his slide.
"I was trying to keep us out of a double play, and once I saw Pedroia tag (Martinez) I kind of got stuck there," said Fielder, who finished the postseason with just one extra-base hit and no RBIs in 40 at-bats. "Just a double play anyway."

Welcome to California Kiteboarding the only Kiteboarding Shop in the Central Coast and the 1st Central Coast SUP shop.
Recognize any of California's greatest Premier Kiteboarding Locations?
Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, Oceano, San Simeon, and Cayucos, Waddell, Scott Creek, Crissy Field, Cresent City, Rio Vista, C-Street, Mission Bay, Seal Beach, Jalama, and some other spots we have yet to kite!
What is Kiteboarding?
There is a sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once. If you've ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it. Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.
Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport. The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water. The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction. The bar hooks into the rider's harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water. Check out our kites, boards, and harnesses here
We carry Naish, DaKine, Slingshot, Neil Pryde, Caution, NPX, Starboard, Creatures of Leasure, Ocean and Earth, Werner, Garmin, AzHiAzIaM, MBS, and much more.
Surftech continues to be the SUP leader, and this is why everyone from the world's top designers to world-class athletes have chosen Surftech boards.
20 years ago Surftech was created to bring new technology to the process of board building. Founder, Randy French, saw that the way boards were being made hadn"t changed for over 40 years. The old way wasn"t very durable, so a lot of boards ended up in landfills and the toxic materials weren"t kind to the environment. He made it his mission to bring revolutionary new construction technologies to the world.
The Wood Veneer Series was the first technology, resulting in beautiful, durable, precise boards created with a seamless construction process. It was embraced by many legendary shaper/designers and continues to be used in select models.
Randy kept pushing and looking for better materials and techniques that would enable him to exactly reproduce master shapes that were lighter, stronger and more ecologically sustainable. The result was the creation of Surftech"s Tuflite epoxy composite technology, which was a game-changer in the industry. After years of research and testing, Surftech was proud to be the first company to offer a real alternative to the fossil-based foam cores currently being used. The resulting "Natural Composite' core material is made from a renewable cellulose fiber that is sustainable and recyclable. Unlike the competition, our Fused-Cell cores are actually waterproof and have remarkable flex properties, retaining incredible structural integrity for years of enjoyment.
The evolutionary progression continues and Surftech has developed a wide variety of technologies that were each developed with specific characteristics in mind. Surftech continues to be the SUP leader, and this is why everyone from the world"s top designers to world-class athletes have chosen to work with us.
