Calling a con an artist? it's just not fair. Making money off stupidity? well it's pretty common.

Went yesterday and we both really enjoyed it. It's different and is thought provoking. We are not art nuts and are not usually in to modern art but it was a couple of hours well spent. Thought I would post a review as everyone else seems negative but art has to be different to keep us thinking

"ZOTAC continues to expand our award-winning ZBOX mini-PC series. Our latest ZBOX AD02 series takes the powerful AMD E-350 APU Platform with Discrete-Class AMD Radeon HD 6310 graphics and packs it into our compact and customizable ZBOX chassis," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.

the HD6310 easily makes this somewhat desirable to me. That and the space saving options make it a good buy. Benchmarks for the 6310 are somewhat promising http://www.anandtech.com/show/4134/the-brazos-review-amds-e350-supplants-ion-for-miniitx/5 easily outpacing the former AMD IGP chip HD4200.
This would be nice to get for my parents all they do is lite web surfing and youtube. they have a very old p4 that needs to be dumped
First I saw this coming a mile away and stated it was coming out when they announced its bigger brother getting the AMD Fusion overhaul. If priced accordingly, including the fact it has no DVD or Blu-ray drive, it should be around $300 to $375 in price. You get a keyboard/mouse combo and a 22" monitor for $150 and you could have a really nice all-in-one for your parents.

Throwback Thursday. Waiting on a train from Utrecht to Amsterdam. I'm feeling a little nostalgic today.
I love Amsterdam! So want this to be me!
Blog Everyday in June
June 15 - Favourite Photo I've Taken
I took this one of Oria when we were in Amsterdam last May. It's my favourite because it could be any kid and I love that crazy wall art cat about to eat her up! I need to blow this one up and frame it. Hands down fave.
Flashback Fridays
I'm feeling nostalgic to around this time last year and Oria and my epic adventure in Amsterdam, by bicycle.
Just saw this photo I took of Oria in Amsterdam. Thought I'd repost cause its that cool.
Amsterdam by Bicycle- A Whirlwind Week!
Here are a few pictures from our week in Amsterdam. What a whirlwind of a week its been, with a 9 hour flight with a toddler and a 9 hour time change, we've made it back home in one piece, with many amazing memories.
We left Vancouver last Monday evening late, and arrived in Amsterdam Tuesday evening. Schipol airport was the largest and busiest airport I've been too, and after a 9 hour flight with a toddler we decided to take a taxi to our neighbourhood of Oud-West, right next to Vondelpark.
We dropped off our bags, and wandered about the neighbourhood. There are bikes everywhere! I'd say at least 5 locked to each and every tree and pole and canal fences. I loved seeing all the different types of people on bikes and how people have made their bikes so functional as if it were a car.
Wednesday we slept in and found a coffee, some pannekoeks and our rental bicycle for the week. We ventured out around Vondelpark for a lovely scenic ride, a play in the park and home for a rest. The afternoon found us in the Leidesplein, where there were a million tourists on feet, cyclists, cars, trams, taxis, you name it it was pure chaos! I decided quickly that this is not an area you really want to bring your bike, not just about riding it but if you lock it up you may never find it again. There were more bikes than I've seen in my life locked up to anything they could be.
Thursday we met up with our new dutch friend Monique that we had just met on our flight to Amsterdam. We decided to take a bike ride together and find Amstelpark. There we found really neat playgrounds for kids, animals, a train that went around the park, and we saw an albino Kangaroo. As cool as this park was, the only parts Oria cared about were the ropes in the playground and the ducks in the pond. A success I think!
Afterwards we cycled back into the city and found ourselves on a patio on the Prinsengracht canal in the Jordaan district of town for a beer and some soup! Of course Oria ate the mini pancakes known as poffertjes.
Friday we decided to take another bike ride and just get lost, see where the wind would take us. We rode all over the place and out to the Oud-Zuid area and beyond, out near the University of Amsterdam and the Olympic Stadion. We played in parks and ate some local food, the patat met mayonaise and the broodjes kroket.
Just a side note, the time change had Oria wide awake each night between 10:30 pm and 4 am. Thankfully she would sleep in until 10:30 am most mornings so I was rested enough to keep us going and she was always rested enough and up for the adventures!
Saturday morning I really wanted to either take a bus to Volendam (I'd really have liked to cycle there but it was a bit too ambitious a ride return with a toddler), or take the bicycle out to a little town called Weesp. I searched the area for a map to cycle out to Weesp but couldn't find one, we thought we'd wing it by asking for help along the way. Needless to say we didn't find Weesp, we totally got lost and had a ton of fun doing it! We found Amsterdamse Bos a huge park outside of the city with an organic food market, ice cream, poffertjes and a whole bunch of white crazy baby goats!!!! This place was amazing! The fenced in area where the goats were kept was a childrens playground. It was fun to watch goats going down the slide and interacting with the children. We ate poffertjes, played with the goats, played in the park and had a lovely cycle through a beautiful green park back into the City.
We dropped off the bikes and headed back into Leidesplein via tram and did a walk about with all the other tourists. We saw the famous flower market, some amazing breakdancing street performers and wandered in and out of shops. We kept on wandering by foot and found ourselves at the Waterlooplein Market for a looky-loo. We kept on walking and came upon Nemo, the childrens museum. We didn't even need to go in. The stairs alone were enough excitement for Oria. The museum was situated right on the docks where lots of old boats were tied up.
We were exhausted by the end of Saturday!
Sunday we woke up and decided to meet a family friend (that we've never met) in Utrecht. Oria and I took a train with our new friend Monique to Utrecht and spent the afternoon in the park with a picnic. We then took the train back into Amsterdam and called it a day!
We met a young family on our train ride from Utrecht to Amsterdam that told us we had to find this apple pie at Noordermarket on Monday morning.
Monday morning was a bright and early start (6:00 am), so we ate breakfast, had a coffee, and hopped on the bike and cycled over to the Monday morning Noordermarket. We had a wander through the flea market and found ourselves the AMAZING apple pie! Oh my god! This pie is to die for. Please, if you ever go to Amsterdam bring me back a slice! You will find this pie at a place called the Winkel Cafe
An afternoon bike ride into Jordaan, a walk about through De 9 Straatjes and an evening stroll through the Oud-West hood we were staying in.
Tuesday we had our last pannekoek breakfast on a patio at the Perspectief Espresso Bar and a bike ride through Vondelpark and Museumplein one last time. Dropped off the bike, packed and caught our taxi back to the airport.
A nine and a half hour flight home, a 9 hour time change back onto Vancouver time, a sweet husband to meet us at the airport with flowers, a trip to my favourite sushi place for dinner and a trip back home into my bed.
Amsterdam, you were fun, thank you for all the memories Oria and I made while we were there. We loved your hospitality, your bike culture, your food and your architecture. Until we meet again.
She really is this happy after a 9 hour flight, a 9 hour time change and a full night of no sleep! That's who you want to travel with, the kid who is always up for the days adventures!
Amsterdam by bike!!! The adventure begins…
10 more days.
This looks like something fun to stumble into while we visit Amsterdam.
19 days until we leave…
Great story, on this family's trip to Amsterdam. I am looking forward to creating our own memories while we're there.
Today felt almost like spring. We walked past flowers, tulips in particular. They looked and smelled beautiful. We stepped inside a florist on Main Street, and bought a bunch for ourselves. Oria set up camp, touching and smelling all the pretty colourful flowers. Then ironically on our walk back home she picked up a tiny bottle…it was a bottle of Van Gogh Dutch Cararmel infused vodka (she likes to pick up garbage). Got my mind set on tip toeing through the tulips of Amsterdam with Oria. Maybe it won't quite be tip toeing, more like frollicking! She knows how to spin, so maybe we'll whirl through them.

Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese
Author Notes: I've experimented with many different versions of mashed potatoes, but my favorite recipe uses traditional Russet potatoes. Their high starch content and low moisture make them ideal for creating fluffy, creamy mashed potatoes. And although I've used everything from a food processor to a fork, my tool of choice when making mashed potatoes is a potato ricer- it ensures a light, smooth texture without any lumps. I like to dress up the classic dish by infusing half and half with garlic and a bay leaf and stirring caramelized onions and goat cheese into the potatoes. The sweet onions add richness and texture to the dish and the tangy goat cheese is a delicious complement. - Sonali - Sonali aka the Foodie Physician
Food52 Review: With a generous hit of half and half and butter (infused with bay and garlic) and a dollop -- or four -- of fresh goat cheese, Sonali's potatoes are creamy and ethereal with the lightest of tangs. Caramelized onions, which are both folded into the potatoes and piled on top before serving, thread their a mellow sweetness throughout. We agree that the use of a ricer (which we often eschew) is key in order to achieve just the right silken texture for this bowl of mash. - A&M - A&M
Serves 4
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided use
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 pounds yellow onions (approximately 2 large onions), thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1.5 cups half and half
- 1 clove garlic, smashed
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 ounces goat cheese
- Black pepper
- To make the caramelized onions, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir them to coat with the fat. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and the sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 30-40 minutes. If the onions get too dry, add a small amount of water to deglaze the pan. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the half and half, garlic, bay leaf, and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot, dry pot. Stir them over low heat for 2 minutes until they are dry. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl. Gently stir in the hot cream mixture a little at a time until the potatoes are smooth and creamy (discard the garlic and bay leaf). You may not need to use all of the liquid. Set aside a small amount of the caramelized onions for garnish and stir the remaining onions into the mashed potatoes. Crumble the goat cheese into the potatoes and stir to combine well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining caramelized onions. Serve hot.

I first made these potatoes almost a year ago now, during Hurricane Sandy. I live in central New Jersey about an hour from the coast, and was stuck without power for about a week. The first night that everyone lost power, our group of friends (about 15 people) decided to cook up all of our perishable foods. For me, that consisted of some heavy cream and goat cheese, and so we made a huge batch of these potatoes by candlelight. It is now impossible for me to whip these up without reminiscing about how perfectly comforting these were. Thank you for the great recipe.
20 days ago Sonali aka the Foodie Physician
Thanks so much for sharing your story! So glad that my recipe was able to bring you some comfort during what was surely a difficult time.
5 months ago ForGovLaw
Would you recommend another type of cheese to use in this dish other than goat cheese?
5 months ago Sonali aka the Foodie Physician
It's hard to find a good substitute for the goat cheese because it has a nice tangy flavor and it melts well into the potatoes. You could try cream cheese or boursin- the flavor won't be the same but they should work well.
5 months ago Gabis
Is there any thing I can replace the half and half for? I live in Brazil and I don't think we have anything similar to that. I'm thinking maybe one thing we have here called "creme de leite" which is milk cream immersed in a sort of whey. It comes in cans and you can mix the cream with the whey or use them separately. However, since I'm not sure it is similar to the half-and-half, I'd prefer to use something suggested by you.
5 months ago Sonali aka the Foodie Physician
Half and half is a mixture of equal parts whole milk and heavy cream. If you can't find it, you can substitute either whole milk or heavy cream depending on how much you want to splurge!
over 1 year ago IRONWOOD CHEF
Fantastic! And so simple. To cut down on the fat, instead of the half and half, I used 3/4 cup of evaporated skim milk and 3/4 cup of 2%--they still turned out very creamy. Thanks for a great variation on an otherwise pedestrian dish.
over 1 year ago Sonali aka the Foodie Physician
So glad you liked it! Great idea to substitute 2% and evaporated skim milk. My version is definitely a splurge dish!

I made these for Christmas lunch - they were a huge hit. I was able to prep it all the day before - I had the milk, butter, and bay leaves measured and ready and the potatoes peeled and chopped and the onions completely cooked. This morning, it was an easy matter of boiling and mashing the potatoes, warming the milk and mixing it all together. This is a keeper! Thank you for the recipe.

I prepared the potatoes the day before as well and covered it with saran wrap and refrigerated it, but it either oxidized or the dirt rose to the surface of my potato cubes. But this recipe was amazing even without the goat cheese! :)

We'll tell -- is now seizing on what was arguably the most memorable comment from President Obama at the debate.
On Monday night.
You mentioned the navy for example we have fewer ships that we did in 1960.
Well governor we also have fewer horses in -- and that's.
The nature of our -- -- we have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on the we have.
These chips -- go underwater nuclear submarines.
That's quite a moment and it did get some laughs from the audience in Florida.
But former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld says the US military is no joking matter -- is on our show with us yesterday.
The fact.
That the -- is shrinking is an important serious subject.
That merited a thoughtful serious important discussion and all it got was a dismissive.
Arrogant answer from the president by someone who's never served in the military I found it.
Really disappointing.
Disappointing rumsfeld's words Texas Republican congressman -- thorn Berry is the vice chairman of the house armed services committee and he joins me Nasser good morning good to have you here today.
What was your reaction -- invested -- by the president.
You know I thought the president sounded like he could defend his record about trying to taunt or bully governor Romney and usually when somebody uses that -- -- tactic.
Whether it's on the playground -- in politics they're trying to cover something up.
And what he was covering up here was the fact that our navy has gone down to such low levels and and it's just not enough what.
Would navy at that level we cannot defend the country as well as protect the peace.
You know he'd he'd -- -- to say that navy ships where is obsolete as horses in bayonet and well that's obviously not sure.
In -- there was another comment that came prior to that.
Bayh and governor Romney -- that did not get as much attention but it raises an interesting point let's listen to -- so why did you pass on it.
We make decisions today in a military.
That there will confront challenges we can't imagine in the 2000 debates.
There was no mention of terrorism princes.
And a year later 9/11 happened so we have to make decisions based upon uncertainty.
And that means -- strong military.
I'm struck by that all the time I have -- a number of debates in convention speeches back in history.
In the past several months and rarely.
In these instances do we talk about what actually turns out to be the threat.
When that -- president does take office say what did you think governor Romney's point there.
Well I think it's an excellent point.
-- week.
There are trends that we concede that are are are a threat to the United States cyber security for example terrorism.
But there are always things we can't predict.
And what you have to have is -- capability.
To deal with the unknown and that again back to the ship's.
We had our ships today are more capable than they -- in 1916 of course but they can't be in more than one place at one time.
So if a ship is in the western Pacific it can't be in the Persian gulf and it's -- the -- if it's off the coast of Libya it can't be fighting pirates off Africa so numbers do matter.
And capability does matter that's the way you deal with the unknown is have that capability around the world to protect ourselves and defend our interest.
-- let's listen to this up for the president also I -- get your thoughts on the back and forth and sequestration.
First of all this question is not something that I propose something the congress has proposed it will not happen.
The budget -- we're talking about is not.
Reducing our military spending it's maintaining it.
That your understanding of how this worked.
No it's absolutely not true as a matter fat Bob Bob Woodward has said today that it is not true this proposal for sequestration came from the administration.
He says just ask the people in the administration.
Secondly it's the law of the land the president cannot say it's not gonna happen and let's see what is it going to intentionally.
Violate the law the third point is he has done absolutely nothing over the last year to prevent sequestration from happening.
While we in the house have passed the -- to find the site savings in other places the president has opposed that and only tried to blackmail congress.
To raise taxes.
With the threat of sequestration.
So -- on it very insincere.
At best Mac.
Thanks freak accident Tennessee congressman.

The most valubale australian sporting brand has been revealed according to Brand Finance.
Taking out top spot is the Penrith Panthers who beat code rivals the Collingwood Magpies with their brand being worth $46.2 million.
Six NRL teams feature altogether in the top 20 including the Bulldogs, the Parramatta Eels, Brisbane Broncos, Canberra Raiders, and the Sydney Roosters.
The brand of a club is different to it's market value with the rating being based on the relevance, differentation, knowledge and esteem.
Although other teams from Rugby Union, A-League and Big Bash were included in the research, only AFL and NRL teams were valuable enough to be featured in the Top 20 Most Valuable Australian Sports Brands.
It's sure to raise eyebrows with serial NRL wooden spooners coming in well ahead of NRL 2013 Premiership Champions the Roosters.

And this is the regime that Hillary and Obama support. There are no words beyond revolting, disgusting, now typical of the most arrogant and terrible president ever elected and a woman who long ago sold her soul and will now try to become president.
I´ve said it before and nothing has happened to change my belief. Moslems like to kill. They kill outsiders, they kill family, they kill each other, they even kill themselves. Its what they do.They are congenital murderers and they built a religion around that predisposition.
What´s the big deal? Nobody was water-boarded.
I just hope they are not putting underwear on the heads of those tortured! /s
I thought the torture chamber was anything shown on NBC, CBS or ABC.
Concur with #2. Islam gives solace and cover to the most base and evil actions of humans. And our ignorant and naive government does not recognize this truth about Islam.
I sure hope they don´t do anything horrible, like, like splash water on their captives!OP: In the Muslim world, they are pretty much moderates.
So the left is surprised that the Brotherhood would have torture chambers? This group helped the nazis develop their final solution back in WWII. They were sure upset that the late Shah of Iran had some. But then he was an ally until Carter got finished with him.
It ain´t torture until Dan rather says it´s torture. Besides, everyone knows that "torture" is something indulged in by evil Americans under an [evil] Republican President. Everything else is a simple expression of culture.

After Jefferson was helped off the court, it was initially reported that he sustained a knee injury. The team later announced it was an ankle sprain.
Jefferson, 28, has had knee problems in the past. He tore a meniscus his rookie season and his right ACL during the 2008-09 season.
Jefferson, coming off a 2012-13 season in which he averaged 17.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game with the Utah Jazz, signed a three-year, $41 million deal with the Bobcats in the offseason.

On Saturday, March 7th, Carol Coker, a student at East Union Attendance
Center, placed 13th at the Mid-South Spelling Bee in Memphis, TN.
John Peter Ford was one of 32 Boy Scouts from the United States that was selected to recently attend the SAJ-BSA (Scouting Association of Japan-Boy Scouts of America) Friendship Program. He had to submit an application and resume to be considered for the program. Ford was chosen based on scout participation and leadership and was the only scout from Mississippi to participate.
Jan Boone Stamm was chosen Teacher of the Year for Lee County Schools Improvement Center for the 2008-2009 school year. She was selected for this award by her peers. Ms. Stamm lives in New Albany and has two children, Aaron and Maggie. She is the daughter of Mary Lou Boone and the late J.E. Boone.
Due to recent rains and the threat of severe weather this evening, the Union County softball tournament has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled.
"It's disappointing, especially for the seniors," Ingomar head coach Richard Byrd said Friday. "These ladies won't have an opportunity to play in their last county tournament, but you can't help what Mother Nature does."
Area teams have one more week of the regular season before the state playoffs are scheduled to start.
East Union dethroned the two-time defending Union County Champion New Albany Bulldogs last Thursday, picking up their first county title since 2005.
Only three teams participated in this year's Union County Tournament, as West Union and Myrtle were each playing games in Florida last week. This year's county showdown saw all three teams lose to one another, and going by least amount of runs given up, the Urchins claim the 2009 tournament crown. East Union gave up only eight runs, followed by Ingomar with 15 and New Albany with 16.

Contrary to a recently circulating rumor, the big yellow boxes around town that serve as stands for the Mississippi Homes Magazine, are not being removed. The folks who are spreading this information either know it is not true or never go anywhere around the city or they would have already seen them popping up in front of retail establishments everywhere.
County rivals squared off in the first archery match of the season, as East Union defeated West Union Monday night.
The Urchins defeated the Eagles with a score of 2636 to West Union's 2498. Below are the individual scores.

Buzzer Howto
From OESF
(revert to remove spam) |
(One intermediate revision not shown.) |
Current revision
Howto utilize the buzzer on the Zaurus
The Sharp Zaurus doesn't have a built in speaker, but it does have a a "buzzer" type audio device. This audio device can make rudimentary sound as defined in "sharp_char.h"
If you wish to use the buzzer in your application you need to do at least the following three things:
Include sharp_char.h into your application to use the defines. The header is installed in : /opt/Embedix/tools/arm-linux/include/asm/ so you may want to manually copy the file locally or create a sym-link to the file into the local directory.
#include <sharp_char.h>
Open /dev/sharp_buz. Use normal error checking here.
int fd= open("/dev/sharp_buz", O_WRONLY);
Make an ioctl cal on /dev/sharp_buz replacing SHARP_BUZ_TOUCHSOUND with your desired sound from sharp_char.h
ioctl(fd, SHARP_BUZZER_MAKESOUND, SHARP_BUZ_TOUCHSOUND);
There's only 3 sounds that have any actual data to send through the buzzer device. (Until they add them to the device driver). The warning sound and alarm sound are the same. #define SHARP_BUZ_TOUCHSOUND 1 /* touch panel sound */
#define SHARP_BUZ_KEYSOUND 2 /* key sound */ #define SHARP_PDA_WARNSOUND 4 /* warning occurred */ #define SHARP_BUZ_SCHEDULE_ALARM 11 /* schedule alarm */
Download example source and binary in a tar.gz file [here | http://docs.zaurus.com/downloads/buz.tar.gz].
This test program will open the driver and cycles through all the buzzer sounds. (Make sure to compile it for arm so you can run it on the Zaurus)
Create the makefile with:
# tmake -o Makefile buz.pro
Then build the binary:
# make
Once it is done compiling copy the binary (buz) to the Zaurus and run from command line to hear the results.
---- buz.c ----- #include <sys/stat.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sharp_char.h> int main(){ int stat, fd; int i; fd= open("/dev/sharp_buz", O_WRONLY); if(fd == -1){ perror("/dev/sharp_buz"); return(1); } for(i=1;i<=14;i++){ printf("Sound: %d\n", i); stat= ioctl(fd, SHARP_BUZZER_MAKESOUND, i); if(stat == -1){ perror("ioctl"); } tcdrain (fd); } close(fd); return(0); }

I'm getting a .zip file instead of a .s2z file - anyone know what's going on?
I don't know exact translation (cos I have polish version of windows) but it's something like that :
Open any folder, go to Tools => Folder Options... => Display/View => UNCHECK [ ] Hide extensions of popular/common file types.
Then you can download my mod and you'll get resourcesWC2.zip (like you're saying) - simply rename it to resourcesWC2.s2z

In response to the Crack epidemic, this climb does not seem to get the traffic it deserves.... Crack wars has amazing hand cracks, fist cracks, and even a little OW thrown in to keep things interesting- so, grab that fat rack and head up the hill for a little fun! P1-Jam thin hands crack, that slowly widens to hands and fists (4 star pitch!) to ledge on left with bolted anchor-5.10+ 90 ft. P2-Fun fist/OW climbing leads to short traverse left and small roof, 15 more feet of wide climbing will lead to nice ledge where gear belay can be had- 5.10 70 ft. P3-Continue up the fist/OW crack towards the obvious roof that looms above. Set up belay under roof with lone bolt and fist sized gear (#3 or 3 1/2 camalots works well here). 5.9+ 70 ft P4-Jam out the featured fist-sized roof crack, and take a deep breath because it is not quite over yet..Some loose, heady climbing straight up (with short traverse L to corner) finally leads to short squeeze chimney, and the summit. -5.11a/b (crux pitch). Stewart Green's guidebook reports a 5.9 finger crack in R facing corner to summit- we did not see this crack, but perhaps it is a little further L than where we were??? This route is an enjoyable way to top out on the Rectory, and affords an awe-inspiring view of Honeymoon chimney (and beyond). Don't become another party waiting in line to do Fine Jade, when this route is just a few more steps down the trail...
Route is found on the West face , about 80 ft. right of where the nuns meet the rectory. Look for white calcitite covered rock, with obvious crack. Climb starts on top of ledge about 20 ft above trail.
Rack: single camalots to #0.4, double #0.5-#2, triple #3, double # 3.5 and #4, single #5 and #6 Camalots, nuts, long draws, and rope. The only fixed anchor is at the top of the first pitch, so save some cams for the belays. Anchors are found to the climber's left of the last pitch, or rap Fine Jade.
The short finger crack on the last pitch is what gets you up to the final squeeze chimney (which is way easier to layback by the way).
Did this route yesterday and really enjoyed it. Definetly deserves more traffic
This route felt haaard. 11b for me. A lot more OW (and squeeze chimney!) than I was expecting. Getting over the roof is tough for those with smaller hands and who can't really reach the foothold out and right of the roof. I basically aided the thing. Above the roof is some pretty hollow, loose rock, and heady climbing to the squeeze chimney right at the top (which I liebacked, by the way!) Interesting route.....not sure I'd do it again, but it does have some good climbing, especially on the lower pitches.
Awesome route! A good adventure out. You can do this route dbl .5- 2 camalots, 3x #3 and #4 camalots, and 1 #5 camalot. Use a #3 and #4 for anchor after the 2nd pitch, a #2 and smaller cam for after 3rd pitch. The slot on pitch 3 is definitely the crux, just get funky and press it out. In Nov 2012 the rap anchor atop Empirical Route (L of Crack Wars) was questionable at best; there's a very solid rap anchor on the N side of the Nuns that drops you down near Holier than Thou.
I inadvertently linked 2&3 and didn't really have enough pro. I'd suggest 3x 3s & 3.5s (or new school 4s) and one 4.5 (new school 5). Don't see where a six would be handy. Lots of cheese-grating off-fists for small hands. I squeezed the top-out, but only after removing my harness (didn't think I had an effective belay by then). Otherwise it's an overhanging chicken-wing toe-heel thing. I'm skinny as fuck so plan to do that. Crux for me was the roof. Seemed awkward.

A small group gathered last Friday to pray for the three newest members of the Jeffco Board of Education.
Newly elected board members Julie Williams and Ken Witt received prayer from the eight people who attended. John Newkirk appeared briefly to thank everyone who showed up but left because of a scheduling conflict.
"We appreciate the faith community reaching out to us and inviting us here tonight," Witt said. "We support our faith-based community, and we are a part of it."
Three cars slammed into a herd of elk on Evergreen Parkway during rush hour Tuesday evening, killing at least two of the animals but resulting in no injuries to occupants of the vehicles.
The incident occurred near Evergreen Parkway and Brookline Road, where each car hit animals individually but did not collide with other vehicles, said Jeffco sheriff's spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.
In a decision that brought boos from the audience, the Jeffco school board's new majority voted Thursday night to hire an attorney to represent the board — not the school district — with little time for discussion and many unanswered questions.
Board members Lesley Dahlkemper and Jill Fellman said after the meeting that they dissented not because they oppose the board having its own attorney, but because they objected to the way the motion was introduced and voted on.
S.T. Coleridge once said that poetry consists of "the best words in the best order."
The fourth- and fifth-graders in Donna Sutherland's gifted-and-talented class at Parmalee Elementary School proved his point Friday during a coffeehouse where they read their own poems to classmates.
There were no berets or bongo drums a la the 1960s coffeehouses, but there was some finger-snapping as children showed their appreciation for classmates' work. Definitely no coffee, but the children ate cookies and drank lemonade.
Under a sapphire-blue sky, a big red car hauls a newly cut Christmas tree — one that will benefit the kids at Children's Hospital Colorado.
But it's not a real tree: 10-year-old Kaymen Story of Evergreen carefully drew and submitted it to the hospital's annual holiday card contest. Hers became one of 14 designs that won, and will now be sold throughout Colorado to benefit the hospital's cancer and blood disorder centers.
Evergreen Fire/Rescue responded to three house fires in a recent 24-hour period, with one home destroyed by the flames.
Although his current focus is on homeland security, former Colorado U.S. senator Gary Hart said he would not talk about that issue while speaking at the United Methodist Church of Evergreen on Saturday morning.
Instead, Hart paid tribute to Nelson Mandela, the South African leader who died last week; Martin Luther King Jr.; and others who championed the cause of human rights in their countries.
More than 7,500 customers of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association were without power in the early and frigid hours of last Thursday.
"The outage affected customers from Aspen Park to about Shawnee," said Josh Liss, spokesman for IREA. "We were able to fix the problem relatively quickly, so we didn't need to activate loop service."
Golden resident Jerolyn Mickels owns vacation rental property on Blue Ridge Road near Genesee, which she says is a significant source of income for her.
However, since her neighbor Brian Wolniak installed a motocross track on adjoining property, Mickels said, her tenants have been disturbed by the sounds of motorcycles and four-wheelers.
The Jeffco school board, on a 3-2 vote, has stopped teachers from assessing kindergartners using the Teaching Strategies Gold program because the board said the program collects too much data and because of concerns about privacy issues regarding data storage.
To that end, it told district officials to turn down a $56,000 grant from the Colorado Department of Education that was helping to finance a pilot program.

The title says it all. ATI Radeon HD 3870, the one on the second picture will feature 825MHz core and 2400MHz memory clocks, DirectX 10.1 support, and PCI-e 2.0 technology. ATI Radeon HD 2850 on the third picture will be clocked at 700MHz/1800MHz core/memory with DirectX 10.1 support and PCI-e 2.0. Both cards will feature 55nm manufactured graphics processing unit (GPU). Source: Tom's Hardware, VR-forums
I would say be happy. You bought a excellent piece of hardware at a good price, and with 512bit. I am jealous of the 2900Pro owners.
The 3870 better have decent stock cooling. I hope a good enough airflow case will be able to cool that beast down. Although I shouldn't be that worried since its based on 55nm. OCing should be real fun on those things All we need now is A RELEASE DATE!!!!!!!!!
yes it does, as does it have physics processing capabilities. this is "basically" just a die shrink of the R600 with a few extras so id expect a very nice overclock on these
So should I buy a 2900Pro 1gb or wait for this puppy? Keep in mind I wanna stay in the ~$300 price range
When these come out the prices on the other graphics cards should drop unless of course they decide to discontinue some of them which is always a likely case especially for the higher up 2900s
Weird, but maybe this is like the x1800 x1900 debacle. That second pic looks like the old x800XTPEs and X850XTPEs with that huge honking cooler on it.
I figure I will buy one of these with the dual slot cooler. My 2600XT that cost me $128 is great for the amount of money, imo. I think one of these cards will be my last upgrade for this 939 system. I had thought about the 2900Pro's alot, but thought my San Diego might not be 100% up to it. One of these should be the bomb for my rig. I can hardly wait.
It's a bit strange to me thats they are of a lower fabrication process but that one still requires a double slot cooler.
Well if the 3870 series is the XT series wouldn't that mean it's got 2xGPU's on the board? Whereas the the 2850 would only have one?
This is very clever economics. ATi/AMD had massive problems and cost in making the super-complex 12-layer PCB to employ that 512-bit bus, and having seen that the R600 is not limited by it's bandwidth they have done the most sensible thing. It should lower prices (though maybe the consumer wont see that) and increase energy-efficiency, and may aid in higher clock rates. A nice move in my opinion, but the benchmarks will tell. I'm pretty sure G80 will finally meet it's match, it's been a year coming.

Toward the end of World War II, the U.S. Navy began mapping an area of northern Alaska extending south from the Arctic Sea across the North Slope and down to the forested valleys south of the Brooks Range. In an effort lasting a number of years, surveyors flew low in a small plane, snapping thousands of photographs with a large-format K-18 camera pointed out the craft's open door.
About 10 years ago, Matthew Sturm of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and his colleagues obtained the images, which were about to be thrown away. By repeating the Navy's exercise and comparing the old and new photos, the team has documented dramatic changes in the vegetation of the now-warmer region. (See "Arctic Plants Feel the Heat," in the May 2010 issue of Scientific American.)
But the old black-and-white photographs have artistic as well as scientific value: many were surprisingly beautiful. A selection follows, courtesy of Sturm and Ken Tape, of the Institute of Arctic Biology at the University of Alaska.

There have been apples in Langley since not long after the first European traders and settlers arrived in the 1820s.
With the annual Apple Day taking place on Saturday, Sept. 29 at Derby Reach Regional Park's Heritage Area, locals say they have uncovered the oldest known apple tree in B.C.
Sharon Meneely, who is heading up Apple Day for the Derby Reach-Brae Island Park Association (DRBIPA) said the tree was found on the old Nordman farm on Allard Crescent.
Sitting on a property line, the tree is reputedly the last remaining apple tree from the first Hudson's Bay Company orchard.
"There are a few [apples] on it," Meneely said.
Meneely was speaking to members of the Nordman family last year when the matter came up. Another former neighbour confirmed that oral history has always claimed the apples go back to the 1830s.
The park association has added the tree to its list of those to preserve, and it has taken some cuttings to keep the tree's lineage alive.
While many of the heritage apples showcased at apple days are crisp, tart, and delicious, it's unlikely the old HBC apple was all that amazing, taste-wise, said Meneely.
The apples would have been grown from seed, and were likely "greenings," apples grown for cider rather than for eating, said Meneely.
All modern apple varieties are propagated by grafting, rather than planting seeds. Seeds may not carry the same traits as the parent tree.
"There was no consistency on what you got from one tree to the next," Meneely said.
Much of the orchard was apparently toppled by 1962's Hurricane Freda, the most powerful storm to hit B.C. in the last century.
Members of the park association have also turned up an unusual tale of a local farmer who met his end in an apple tree.
In 1880, the Haney Slide was a massive landslide into the Fraser River. It raised a tsunami up to 60 feet tall, and a Derby area farmer, William Edge, was found tangled in the branches of one of his trees after the wave had passed.
The constantly changing course of the river is one reason why some of Langley's earliest orchards are missing, or in danger.
"A lot of it's gone, a lot of it is in Richmond," quipped arbour-ist Bill Wilde.
The same erosion and local flooding that drove the HBC to move its first fort from Derby to present-day Fort Langley has swept away orchards and individual trees over the years.
Apple Day is about the history that is now being saved and resurrected.
There is a small orchard near the Houston House on Allard Crescent, created by the association, which is growing varieties like Northern Spy and Baldwin.
Once common, they are now next to impossible to find commercially.
But those old apples sustained many a pioneer family in the 19th and early 20th century.
"They live better around here than the modern varieties," said park association chair Jeremy Smith.
This year's event will celebrate those old varieties, possibly with a ceremonial picking, Smith noted.
There will also be voyageur reenactments, an art show, music from the Langley Community Music School, a tree planting at 1 p.m., orchard tours led by Fort historian Jane Watt, and historical walks led by Jill Deuling of Metro Vancouver Parks.
All the events take place between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., at the historic site near the cairn marking the old Fort site on Allard Crescent.

Split in Israeli Right: How to control Palestine?
Prabir Purkayastha, Newsclick, June 8, 2011
Palestine is again in the news, with mass protests and demonstrations on the anniversary of the 1967 War. Eleven people were shot dead by Israeli forces on the border of Syria and five more on the West Bank. Earlier, similar demonstrations had taken place on the anniversary of Nakba, the 1948 expulsion and massacre of Palestinians from within what now constitutes the borders of Israel. The Fatah and the Hamas coming together in an accord brokered by Egypt, the opening of the Rafah crossing by Egypt, the preparations of a new flotilla to Gaza are all indications that Palestine issue is not going to drop below the international radar.
For the Israeli security establishment, there is another looming threat – the likely recognition in September this year of an independent Palestinian state by the United Nations. If it comes to a vote in the UN General Assembly, the US and Israel would probably be the only nay votes, barring a few tiny client states of the US. Even the Europeans are likely to abstain rather than register a 'no' vote. It will indeed mark a new low for Israel internationally, though not materially changing the situation on the ground.
It is the increasing isolation of Israel that has caused a split within the heart of the right-wing security establishment. Meir Dagan, a former head of Mossad, has publicly criticised the current Israeli government's conduct, calling Benjamin Netanyahu and Yehud Barak "reckless and irresponsible." Meir Dagan is no former hawk turned peacenik after retirement. Ariel Sharon selected Dagan because he wanted a Mossad with "a knife between its teeth." As head of Mossad, Dagan was particularly brutal towards the Palestinians and played a key role in the illegal killings and assassinations that Israel carried out with US blessings. So when a Dagan says that the current Israeli Government is "reckless", what does he really mean?
Let us be very clear that Dagan and others like him are not talking about a settlement with Palestinians or any kind of just peace. The issue for them is purely how Israel should react to its growing international isolation: the only issue is how to 'manage' the international narrative on the occupation of Palestine. His grouse is that Netanyahu and Barak – the duo running Israel today – are doing a bad job of this and have painted Israel into a corner. Refusing to respond – for example, to the Saudi peace plan or about a return to pre-1967 borders – makes Israel increasingly look like the rogue state that it really is.
Dagan, like many others of his ilk, want that Israel publicly responds to these peace plans, talks to the Palestinians and offers them a truncated West Bank divided into isolated Bantustans. If the Palestinians refuse as they probably will, Israel can try and capture the propaganda high ground, as they did after PLO turned down the completely one-sided Clinton 'peace' plan. Al Jazeera has made public the degree to which the Palestinian Authority was willing to go for peace – virtually surrendering Jerusalem, large parts of the West Bank and giving up the right to return except for a token 10,000. That in spite of this, there has been no peace makes it clear that the political and security establishment in Israel will not willingly give up the occupied territories. Their goal is simply the continued occupation, hoping that at some point the international opinion will 'allow' them to push the Palestinians completely out of the West Bank.
The problem for Israel now is that despite the Arab 'spring' bringing in only a truncated democracy, it has brought Arab people back as players on their respective national stages. Even the pro-US Egyptian military regime cannot ignore completely the will of the Egyptian people. The opening of the Rafah crossing, symbolic as it is – still not open for commercial traffic – marks a significant change. Israel can no longer count that the Arab regimes will continue to keep their people under their heel. Solidarity for Palestine runs deep in the Arab world. Increasingly, people will want to march to occupied territories and try and break the siege of Gaza. How many are the Israelis going to shoot? How many boats are they going to capture on the high seas? How long can they maintain that the siege of Gaza is only to prevent 'terrorist' attacks on Israel?
The other issue, on which Dagan has fallen out with Netanyahu and Barak, is on Iran. Anybody with a modicum of strategic understanding knows that a Israeli strike on Iran is currently no longer militarily feasible. It would drag the US into a shooting war with the Iranians and bring to boil the whole region. With Egypt currently out of the equation, Turkey having distanced itself from Israel, the US bogged down into two wars in West Asia and now a new one in Africa, the strategic game has changed completely. Dagan believes that more Israel focuses on the non-existent military option of an Israeli strike on Iran, the more it fails to address the immediate issues it needs to do for its future survival.
What is being discussed by both sides of the security debate – Dagan or Netanyahu-Barak – is what manoeuvre will be more effective in the continued occupation of Palestinian lands. For Netanyahu-Barak side, they believe that with an alliance with the American right, they can brow-beat a weak-kneed Obama and continue with business as usual and the brutalisation of the Palestinian people. The US – in their eyes – is the only one that counts. For Israeli establishment, the rest of the world does not matter; they are just some background noise. The Europeans are a little more important but can be cowed into silence by talking about the holocaust, anti-Semitism and the past European record. For Dagan, this is not a viable long-term option. As Israel continues to lose international legitimacy, it has to make some 'peace' manoeuvres – engage in some peace talks and then try and pit Hamas against the Fatah.
For the Palestinians, this is key issue – how not to accept a Bantustan solution or fight against each other. The Palestinian people recognise the importance of Arab spring. If democracy becomes stronger in Arab lands, Israel will become more and more isolated. The Arab governments will have to respond to the deep solidarity that the Arab people have for Palestinians, which their rulers have ignored. For the first time after Camp David accord, the Arab regimes are under the pressure from their own people; as are the Palestinian Authority and the Hamas. This is the game changer – the people and not regimes will drive the future course of history in this region.
