This is the first sport route left of New Era. Start on moderate ground, crimping up solid, incut, iron-oxide rails. Move left and up, then over a bulge (crux), then right to anchors. This is very soft 5.11. A second pitch exists, which is rated 5.11, but it is more like mid-range 5.10, and is high quality face climbing on good holds in an awesome position. Do both pitches, rap once with two ropes, twice with one.
Some draws.
Confused about this route: at the top, before the angle kicks back, I always traverse right up a small ramp, make the last clip awkwardly, then move up and back directly left to get to the anchors. This seems so weak to me, doesn't follow the line of protection, and leaves me feeling like I still haven't climbed this route. But I've dogged for minutes on end contemplating that last steep section that stays true to the line of bolts and can't even see a hold. Any help on this? Pura vida.
WARNING! As of today someone had removed the hangers from the anchors at the top of pitch two.
Diesel and Dust now has new beefy stainless steel anchors, courtesy of Climbing Magazine and Petzl.
Anyone know what the second pitch is like?
Did both pitches yesterday for the first time. I've done the first pitch many times, but never went on to second. Found second to be a lot of fun. Crux comes early, between the second and third bolt. Slightly overhanging on thin hands. I felt the P2 crux move was harder than any single move on the first pitch. After that the grade eases to .9 climbing to the anchors. We couldn't find P2 anchors, and ended up traversing 20 feet left on easy terrain to the P2 Alligator Soup anchors. Both pitches make for a great climb.
FA: Ric and Cindy Geiman in 1990.
The slings at the top of this are in need of replacing. Both looked rotten and old.
Jeremy, I assume you're referring to the slings at the top of the New Generation pitch (according to D'Antonio's guide). This is the alternative pitch 2 above Diesel and Dust that traverses right for about 20 feet from the chains atop D&D P1 (as opposed to the true D&D P2 that goes straight up from the chains and has no anchors or slings at the top - they got chopped years ago). If so, I agree. A buddy and I did this pitch a few weeks ago. We weren't too confident in the webbing or the stacked pins, and didn't think that rapping would be a great idea. Instead, we thought it safer and quiet easy to traverse right from the anchors and downclimb into the P2 belay alcove of New Era. Not too many folks climb the New Generation pitch, but this would be a good one to have a knife on. That webbing certainly needs to go.
Second pitch anchors replaced in the fall of 2008.
Definitely a "feel good" 5.11, but fun nonetheless. It's rare to find solid crimps like this at the Garden which is the land of sand and home of "pull down not out".
Great 11a. Climb cut face holds to honeycomb looking things to more cut, slanted, face holds. Great, sustained climb! Nice rap rings at the top, too!

History museum looks to the future
SYCAMORE – As we start the new year and look to setting new goals, it is always nice to look back and see what we have achieved. The Sycamore History Museum will host its annual meeting at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 28.
Last year marked several firsts for the museum, executive director Michelle Donahoe said, and more changes are in store for 2013.
"This past year we made a commitment to attracting families, young children and students," she said. "I am looking forward to showing everyone what we have done differently this year and our plans for the future. One highlight will be the launching of a new website. Jessica McTague, from HeartGiants, will be talking about the new website and all of the exciting features that will provide online visitors with a better understanding of who the Sycamore History Museum is and what we do best."

Whitlock: Pats/Ravens about race
Posted 19 January 2012 - 02:50 PM
"Look, we can tip-toe around it, ignore the big beautiful elephant in the room, or we can embrace the fact that Sunday's AFC Championship contest is soaked in the white-black racial component that has driven American sports passion at least since Jack Johnson whipped James J. Jeffries."
Oh there's more. Abs, do I have this in the right thread?
Posted 19 January 2012 - 03:26 PM
Wow, is there anything about this game that you won't start a thread about?
?? I've only started two threads about this game, and both involved writers. I was chastised by abs for putting my first one in the main forum instead of this one, and I put this one here. I've participated in numerous threads and started threads about other things related to the Patriots, but I've only started two threads about this game.
Do you have a problem with that?
Posted 19 January 2012 - 04:40 PM
Ugh, Whitlock is a one trick pony, I stopped reading his articles 3 years ago. According to him, every single matchup or controversy in sports has got to do with race.
To be fair, I think tons of people still underestimate the impact of race, even (and maybe especially) in everyday stuff like entertainment and sports.
The best way to go about highlighting it, though, is probably not 77 consecutive articles referencing The Wire. He's stuck in Extended Analogy Hell.
Posted 19 January 2012 - 05:21 PM
Flacco is Maury Levy.
What a throwaway article.
How did he make this about race? Flacco is white. Tom Brady is white. Deoin Branch is black. Wait, OMG, Wes Welker is white, this game is about nothing but race. There is no other storyline. I am glad Whitlock pointed this out to me.
Posted 19 January 2012 - 07:48 PM
The argument had surface plausibility 4 years ago when the Ravens were that much closer to their only championship and when the Patriots were mounting an offensive on two citadels -- perfection and the notion that defense wins championships. If you attended their regular season game in 2007 as I did, you would have found this sort of vibe and seen a not particularly good Ravens team fight as if they were in Rome 2000 years ago. It wasn't necessarily a black vs white thang, but it was an old school/new school battle -- though oddly enough both sides were villains.
The vibe now coming out of Baltimore is completely different. All the fire is directed inward -- toward their own teammate and offensive coordinator. They are desperate because they are led by 2 Hall-of-Famers who dearly want to retire -- one of whom has yet to win a Super Bowl ring and can't get out of the game fast enough out of fear of paralyzing himself or worse (Ed Reed/neck problems). And they are scared because they know they are bringing a knife to a gun fight in Fox and are far from confident that defense alone can still win championships.
So these are not the Showtime Lakers, and those who view them that way are living in the past. More accurately, the Ravens are the Celtics of a couple of years back -- still tough, very proud, but probably without enough gas in the tank to get it done. And they know it.
Posted 20 January 2012 - 08:14 AM
But why let facts get in the way of a lazy, tired, pointless article?
Posted 20 January 2012 - 09:28 AM
Funny thing, the Celtics/Lakers clash-of-styles analogy almost works -- except the Ravens are the Celtics (grinding, traditional, feeling cheated by the refs), and the Patriots are the Showtime Lakers (more rings, lots of offense, and a Hollywood-ready star player). If Whitlock had stuck with that and the Mad Men/Wire analogy, and left race out of the mix, it might have been a decent bit.

But he didn't. As far as the teams on the field, it's not about race at all.
Posted 20 January 2012 - 12:58 PM
He'd have a better point if he mentioned their respective fanbases, or that the Ravens play a few blocks from the ghetto while the Patriots play in the middle of a bunch of affluent, 99% white suburbs. I'm fairly confident the Ravens have significantly more African-American fans as a percentage of their base. You could make an extended point that the teams' styles of play reflect this.
But he didn't. As far as the teams on the field, it's not about race at all.
I agree, this would've been a far more interesting approach. Race and sports can be an interesting and important topic, but too often it's written up more as math (let's count the number of white vs black players/coaches/QBs/etc) than sociology.
This article, however, is lazy and pointless. He claims race has "driven" American sports since Johnson-Jeffries a title fight in 1910. Can anyone really claim race has been the impetus behind sports drama over the past century? The fact that he had to invent matchups (Marciano-Ali was a movie, not a fight), shows how rarely rivalies have been predicated on race, or even really featured a racial subtext. Also, where is the tie-in between the teams' respective racial identities and their style of play. Whitlock says Brady leads a high-flying offense of white playmakers. Are white football players known to be high-flying? Meanwhile, the Ravens' mainly African-American defense takes risks to score points to compensate for an anemic offense. Do blacks take more risks to score defensive points? I had no idea that was a stereotype. Is it a white thing for a kicker to make several long-range field goals in overtime to make up for a weak QB?
The problem isn't that articles like this are written, it's that the genre lends itself to facile assertions rather than honest, provocative arguments.

Donald Carl, a 49-year-old resident of Browning, was found guilty of aggravated sexual abuse in federal court in Great Falls on Wednesday.
A press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office states that during the trial, the following evidence and testimony was presented to the jury.
Salois picked up his victim in a 2000 Ford Ranger along Highway 2, south of Browning. Salois said that he would take the victim home, but that never occurred.
Instead, Salois passed the victim's residence, stopped at a sufficiently secluded place, exited his vehicle, and brutally raped the victim.
When questioned by law enforcement, Salois admitted that he had sex with the victim, but claimed the encounter was consensual and occurred in his residence, not on the side of the road.
Salois also claimed that he never left his residence the night of the rape. The FBI investigated and discovered that neighbors, on the night of the rape, did not see the 2000 Ford Ranger owned by Salois at the residence.
After the government presented testimony of 12 witnesses over the course of a day and a half, which included medical professionals, law enforcement, lay witnesses, and a DNA expert, the jury convicted Salois.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ryan Weldon and Laura Weiss prosecuted the case for the United States.
Salois faces possible penalties of life imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and lifetime supervised release.
Sentencing for Salois, who is currently detained, has been set for May 20, 2013.

We'll have a press conference tomorrow, but neither Manny Diaz or Bryan Harsin will be available this week because of the short week. I'm not sure what we'll get in terms of player availability.
We'll have our normal Monday availability with Mack Brown.

Post subject: SWTOR F2P
So SWTOR is F2P as of today. It kinda has gone over under the radar. Anyone planning on playing again?

I haven't played in close to 2 months but I kept my account open to check out what goodies I would get for being such a loyal customer.
1750 cartel coins. That is it. For being subscribed to the game since last December. What I got if you were counting the 500 coins a month that subscribers get comes out to 3 1/2 months worth of coins.
A lot of the items in the store are pretty pricey. To put in perspective, a set of cosmetic gear cost 1200 coins. A new shiny crystal for you lightsaber is 900. And these things are for a single character. Someone with 8 level 50's like me? Ha.
They also did the scumbag move and current hot ticket item seller in all F2P MMO's of adding gambling boxes in the form of Black Market and Cartel packs.
The packs contain various things like exp boosts, crafting materials, but the real draw of them is for the possibility of rare items and gear. Like all MMO gambling boxes, it is like playing the lotto except even when you win, you still lose. So of course the first thing I did when I logged in was spend all my cartel coins on 3 Cartel packs and 3 Black Market packs to get a bunch of worthless junk, a vanity pet, and a new speeder that is just a reskinned model of a current common speeder.
I also started the quest chain for the new HK-51 companion. Don't even bother trying to do it if you have no level 50 characters. You will need at least 1 Imperial and 1 Republic character to complete it as well and 125k credits and the ability (and gear) to finish hardmode maelstorm prison.
It is actually a decent quest chain for level 50's as it gives them something else to do and from what I've done so far they did a good job of putting it together and it is a fairly entertaining quest chain with full voice work and all (something that was lacking in their last world event.)
In any case, unlike a F2P game like lotro that lets you earn currency to use in their store by playing their game like a poor Chinese gold farmer being forced to play at gun point, swtor does not have a way to earn cartel coins in the game. So if you are thinking about checking out the f2p version of the game, expect to have a very limited experience unless you are willing to shell out a bunch of cash to unlock everything.

they have the F2P version right now, I'll wait a few more months until they're so desperate that they give most everything for free.

Yeah I got shit from my coins too. I spent it all on cartel packs which are the shitty gambling packs you talked about. I got 2 speeders a couple pets and an extra rare armor piece which just makes you look like you have nothing on even though you do.
I think they could have done an amazing job making it f2p but they f'd it up by making it so entirely limited. It would have been amazing if the main game was f2p and then you just paid for the end game features you wanted. Instead you are limited on the most basic things. Like how many hotbars you can have? WTH is that? That's a basic feature that you need to play. It's not really optional to just not have enough spaces to put all your skills on.

Optional hotbar? They actually monetized the UI? That screams desperation to me. I don't foresee that lasting very long.
I'll hot into it and play a couple toons through the stories and drop it after that. Just waiting for KOTOR 3

eh, I am ignoring it all together so far. Later on I shall see how it plays. I honestly looked over the shop and saw little I would want to buy with my cartel coins anyway. Maybe later over time I might see something I want, but thus far its just not worth it at this time.

That isn't even the only part of the UI they are charging free players for. They actually want f2p players to pay for the option to toggle their head gear on and off.
I'm usually not very sympathetic to f2p players but some of the things swtor is trying to charge them for is the silliest shit I've ever seen in a f2p game. It is the most restrictive model I've seen yet.
And as I've feared, people with way more money than sense have swarmed to the gambling packs like hopeless insects to the bug zapper. There are already several posts on the forums about people describing how many points they bought and what they got out of their packs.
One guy bought 25,000 cartel coins and spent them all on black market packs because he wanted the floating throne speeder and did not get it. I just can't wrap my mind around it and understand these people. It leaves me dumbfounded.
EA should just sell these things in the store for a set price rather than exploiting peoples OCD or whatever the hell else compels them to drop $100 in a few moments just for a
at an item they want. Lotro sold horses for $20 a pop that were not even account wide and a bunch of people still bought them. Making people go fishing with their money to get stuff is just wrong on multiple levels.
But it always comes back to the greed factor. Why sell a guy a floating throne speeder for $20 when he'll spend $100 opening boxes just for the 1% chance it will actually be in there?
The sad thing is though that there really isn't much else even worth getting in their store at this point. The cosmetic gear for example is pure laziness. Just a bunch of reskinned common model items and the only selling point about them is that you can have a heavy armor look on a light armor wearer or an Imperial style armor on a Republic character. That totally makes it worth $12 a set...
I'm subbed through Nov but at this rate Dec isn't looking so good.

Looking through the feature page, one item caught my eye is the "item equipping" which said you're not allowed to equip purple or greater items unless you pay for an unlocker... geez, that's gonna put a damper on your end-game progress a bit don't you think? Atleast, it's not as bad as Vanguard which limits you to items level 24 or less.

I rarely play free to plays unless you can literally earn everything and access everything in the game through work in the game itself. Technically GuildWars 2 is buy to play but I like the model they use. Tribes Ascend is another one I can think of.
Hearing how restrictive SWTOR f2p is makes me sad. I just hate feeling like a free to play is trying to milk more money out of you than a traditional game.

Hello. I grew up in SE Michigan and have been living near the Short North in Columbus since 2006. I'm looking for some contacts, and/or some people to meet to talk and/or do a fun activity. The thing is, I'm a lapsed Jew and until August 2010 I was afraid to talk to non-Jewish girls and as I grew up I was taught some rather socially conservative, prudish attitudes but I have thrown all that out the window except that I am 28 and I haven't yet really found a life outside of Judaism and I have never had any real girlfriend...

Reminder: vote for this Cuusoo model!
Reminder: vote for this Cuusoo model!
Posted by Huw, 14 Feb 2012 14:43. Filed under Miscellaneous.
Eight days ago we asked you to vote for this western-themed Cuusoo model. Nearly every other LEGO fan site did the same and almost two thousand of you voted. The model is now over 1/3rd of the way to getting 10,000 votes!
If you haven't voted yet, read on and please do so...
The Western theme from 1996/7 was incredibly popular but also very short lived. Wouldn't it be great if it were to make a return? And wouldn't it also be great if it were to consist of modular buildings that were designed to fit together just like the current modulars?
This Cuusoo submission by Eurobricks member marshal_banana is exactly that and it looks superb. You can see more pictures at Eurobricks.
Brickset is teaming up with Eurobricks to see if we, the online LEGO community, can get it to LEGO Review status at Cuusoo by achieving 10,000 supporters. If the Minecraft community can do it for their chosen model, so can we!
All you have to do is go to the Cuusoo site and click on the big green 'support' button. If you don't already have an account there you'll need to create one but it only takes a minute or so to do.
This site gets 400,000 visitors a month, so if just 1 in every 40 of you vote for it, we'll reach 10,000 votes in no time. What are you waiting for -- VOTE NOW -- and let's see the 'Brickset effect' again in action! Remember, anyone 13 and over can vote.

Pilsner at Jupiter in Berkeley |
Five and Dime IPA at Barclay's in Oakland |
I settled into just over 6 min pace in the first mile (much of which is on pavement and gravel) and in 5th place behind ultra speedster, Lon Freeman leading from the gun as usual. I overtook 4th place after two miles on a sticky-deep mud climb. I kept 2nd and 3rd in sight until about mile 5, then settled into an "I don't care what place I get" mood and my pace followed suit. The design of the course forced us to navigate a crowded trail of 10k and 5k runners/walkers, which was fine unless it was on a thin, muddy singletrack or on a steep greasy-slick descent. I got a bit of a scare when I glanced back and saw a guy who'd beaten me for 3rd place earlier in the year at another trail half. Competitive juices flowed but never quite made it to my legs, so I relied on descending as fast and recklessly as possible over the penultimate mile and then striding my best pace over the last, flat mile to finish in 4th and holding off 5th by 30 seconds or so.
Shot I took while marking, from Old Springs Trail in Tennessee Valley |
After the race, I went home got cleaned up and dressed to hit the trails again to mark our Rodeo Valley course for the event the following day. "Hello, BONK." Ten miles into marking the relentlessly hilly course on already-raced legs, I was spent.
Passed out in the back of the locked pick-up waiting for Mr. Stahler (and the truck keys) to finish marking. |
After marking, we packed and loaded the trucks for the next day and I don't even remember going to bed; just waking up to my alarm at 4:15am the following morning.
Rodeo Valley was perfect. I can't fault the wind but I can praise the clear skies and sunshine. It was a superb day all around and I'm grateful to have been a small part of so many great runners' and volunteers' experience.
All in all, a good week. Life moves on.

In the end, the Etch A Sketch didn't work.
Mitt Romney, the multimillionaire who touted his business credentials as the Republican presidential hopeful, failed to convince voters that he was the man to unseat President Barack Obama and jump-start the economy.
"We have given our all to this campaign," Romney told supporters in his concession speech. "I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction, but the nation chose another leader, and so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and this great nation."
The result brought an end to Romney's longtime ambitions to become the nation's commander-in-chief. He had come up short in the GOP primary in 2008, but maintained his ambition and launched his 2012 candidacy on a farm in New Hampshire.
He stumped across the nation, focusing on key swing states such as Ohio and Florida, selling himself as the ultimate alternative to Obama -- a man who understood how to fix the economy and who had worked across the aisle as governor in largely Democratic Massachusetts.
"America is a land of opportunity. But lately, for too many Americans, opportunity has not exactly come knocking," Romney wrote in a recent opinion piece on CNN.com. "We've been mired in an economic slowdown that has left millions of our fellow citizens unemployed. The consequences in dreams shattered, lives disrupted, plans deferred, and hopes dimmed can be found all around us."
The son of a former Michigan governor and auto executive, Romney has long been known among friends for his leadership skills. "This guy is impressive as far as executive ability goes," Romney friend Philip Barlow wrote his mom in 1982. "I think he could be president of the United States."
Reflecting on that note now, Barlow said, "I was that impressed with his executive abilities and him as a leader."
Barlow is a professor of Mormon history and culture and the director of the religious studies program at Utah State University. He served as one of two counselors to then-Bishop Romney in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Portrayals of Romney as "being out of touch with the poor seem kind of silly to me," Barlow said.
"I knew him on that level of real human stuff as opposed to the public image," Barlow said. "The man that I knew is not a caricature. He's not a man without compassion for the poor."
But it is that image of Romney -- an out-of-touch rich guy who shipped jobs overseas as the head of Bain Capital -- that stuck. During various stages along the way, Romney said "corporations are people" and that he "likes being able to fire people." And that was long before his now infamous 47% moocher line.
Romney's Republican opponents in the primaries, and the Obama campaign and Democrats after that helped create that caricature, defining Romney to the electorate before Romney tried to show them who he was.
At one point, senior Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom said the fall campaign is "like Etch A Sketch. You can shake it up and we start all over again." It was a comment that dogged the campaign and only served as political fodder of Romney as a flip-flopper, waffler and a candidate with no core values.
But even then, he won the GOP primary, although evangelicals initially were lukewarm to embrace a Mormon who seemed disconnected with the Republican base.
Trailing Obama in polls through the summer, Romney did try to shake up the Etch A Sketch picture he had created of himself as a "severely conservative" candidate, as he once described himself before a gathering of conservatives, tacking to the center in the last weeks of the campaign. But that might have only hurt him, contributing to the image of a politician with no firm convictions.
The fallout late Tuesday was almost immediate within the party. How could Obama have won in an electoral landslide when the economy is sluggish, the country is polarized and a sizable chunk of Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track?
"The takeaway is that a candidate can run for office with a lot of money, but when it takes him until March of 2012 to even get 25% support within his own party, you're running a weak nominee," said Erick Erickson, RedState.com editor and CNN contributor.
The tea party was quick to jump on the defeat.
"What we got was a weak moderate candidate, hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country-club establishment wing of the Republican Party," said Jenny Beth Martin, the national coordinator of Tea Party Patriots.

Scaptia beyonceae
A previously un-named species of horse fly whose appearance is dominated by its glamorous golden lower abdomen has been named in honour of American pop diva, Beyoncé – a member of the former group Destiny's Child, that recorded the 2001 hit single, Bootylicious.
According to the Australian National Insect Collection researcher responsible for officially 'describing' the fly as Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae, CSIRO's Bryan Lessard, the fly's spectacular gold colour makes it the "all time diva of flies".
"It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly's abdomen that led me to name this fly in honour of the performer Beyoncé as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy – the naming of species," Mr Lessard said.
"Although often considered a pest, many species of horse fly are extremely important pollinators of many plants," he said.
"Although often considered a pest, many species of horse fly are extremely important pollinators of many plants"
Mr Bryan Lessard
"Horse flies act like hummingbirds during the day, drinking nectar from their favourite varieties of grevillea, tea trees and eucalypts."
The rare Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae species of horse fly was collected in 1981, the year that Beyoncé was born, from north-east Queensland's Atherton Tablelands together with two other previously unknown specimens.
"Most Australian Scaptia species have been described, however, these five 'new' species of a sub-group (Plinthina) have been housed in Australian collections since the group was last studied in the 1960's," Mr Lessard said.
According to Mr Lessard's paper, published in the Australian Journal of Entomology, this discovery has doubled the known size of the Scaptia (Plinthina) subgenus and extended the known distribution of Scaptia into the Northern Territory and north-western Australia where they were previously thought not to exist.
Almost 4400 species of horse flies have been described from all biogeographic regions of the world.

This is one of the most versatile dies I have ever bought! I especially like to combine it with the Sizzix ZigZag pop up die. By trimming it close to the mechanism, you can mount it behind and on top of the circular shaped mechanism platform to make things pop up behind the main shape you wish to feature on the rounded area. So far, I have made a giant pumpkin face with twiggy arms jumping out from behind the pumpkin and bare craggy trees springing up from behind a tombstone. Cant wait to have some posts with banners on bakers twin pop up from behind a birthday cake or greeting! Great die, and now I want all the inserts that go with this base die!
I love this die set! It's easy to use and all you need are the Bigz cutting pads. The circle label is very versatile so you can make any manner of card. Remove the pop up insert and you cut a perfect A2 card. But the great thing is the fact that the other pop 'n cuts dies fit in the card body. You only need the one main die to get you started! Love it!
I've been talking myself out of buying this ever since it hit the market and finally gave in. Now I'm asking myself why did I wait so long. This product is so easy to use that I was able to whip up a stack of fabulous Christmas cards in just a few hours

Collaboration with Facebook to bring together innovations that offer first-of-its-kind free Facebook experience
MANILA, Philippines, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Setting another milestone in Philippine telecommunications, Globe Telecom is giving the telco's over 36 million subscribers free access to Facebook on mobile phones for an initial period of three (3) months. Globe worked closely with Facebook to enable customer experience innovations for the best free Facebook offer yet.
Available to all Globe Telecom customers using feature phones and smartphones* and accessing either through the mobile site of Facebook or the Facebook app, users can post, like, comment, chat, add friends, upload photos, share posts, and more on Facebook without the need for Wi-Fi.
Aside from offering Facebook at zero data charges, the collaboration between the two global companies has also paved the way for subscribers to enjoy first-of-its-kind customer experience innovations.
Working with Silicon Valley-based Facebook engineers, Globe has put together innovations that cover key milestones in the customer experience journey such as availability of access on feature phones and smartphones across all Facebook mobile platforms whether via the Facebook app or Facebook's mobile site m.facebook.com; no billshock as customers will be notified if they will incur data charges once a link that leads out of Facebook is clicked; and one-click registration to the data plan of choice to continue browsing without having to leave the site. Recommended data plans consider a subscriber's available prepaid balance and/or megabytes (MB) balance of existing data plan.
Moreover, customers with not enough prepaid load can "loan" a 10MB data plan for only US$0.23 cents, which will be deducted on their succeeding top-up so they can fully explore content outside Facebook, making the experience seamless and worry-free.
"Once again, Globe has proven that it is the mobile data service provider of choice by industry and technology leaders around the world with this breakthrough partnership with Facebook to give our 36 million subscribers uninterrupted, seamless, and worry-free Free Facebook experience. This is collaboration at its peak, which has resulted in the best and most innovative Free Facebook experience yet," said Peter Bithos, Senior Advisor for Consumer Business at Globe Telecom.
Bithos added, "Over the past months, the engineering, business development and marketing teams at both Globe and Facebook have worked together to plan and design the customer experience from scratch -- which includes making the service available across all Facebook mobile platforms, rolling out a system that alerts users once they are about to click a link that will incur them data charges, paving the way for subscribers to easily subscribe to a data plan without having to leave Facebook, and allowing data access lending for subscribers who don't have enough prepaid load to continue browsing links outside Facebook. This service testifies how Globe is transforming itself beyond just an access carrier. Globe is striving to be a leading digital brand catering to the needs of digital Filipinos who need to be connected to their social circles around the world."
"Facebook's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected," said Chris Daniels, vice president of partnerships at Facebook. "Globe understands the opportunities giving people access to the Internet brings and we're thrilled to be working with them to give Globe subscribers access to Facebook without data charges across our apps and mobile website."
There are 1.15 billion users of Facebook around the world as of June 2013, according to the social networking site's latest disclosures.
*Except BlackBerry. Free Facebook will soon be available to Nokia Xpress and Opera Mini users

Popping more than just corn
A popping machine developed using locally available materials by Matayos Youth self help group with the help of a Japanese engineer is creating new snacks out of nutritious, native crops, by popping not just corn, but 13 other cereals and legumes, including millet, sorghum, fruit seeds, rice grains and maize.
The machine is part of Bioversity Kenya's ambition to build capacity in community groups to use simple technologies like the pop machine to add value to under-utilised crops, bring extra income, conserve indigenous crops, and improve the nutritional status of local populations.
The popping machine, which is based on an advanced popping machine found in Japan but beyond the reach of the youth group, uses high pressure from a pressure cylinder fired by gas.
The internal pressure reaches about 10 times atmospheric pressure, compared with only twice atmospheric pressure for an ordinary pressure cooker. However, the group has to ensure that the machine doesn't lose pressure during popping.
If the pressure drops too much the whole batch of seed can be lost. Mr. Yasuyuki Morimoto, a scientist working with Bioversity Kenya, connected the youth group to a Japanese engineer, Hideki Ishigaki, working at Kaplong Youth Polytechnic, who assembled the machine for them.
It can pop a single grain of rice into a snack eight to nine times larger.
The group is packaging the popped cereals in small plastic bags retailing from Sh5 to Sh30, and has found a market among shop owners, schools and hospitals in Busia town.
"We pop different cereals, and availability also matters. Maize is cheaper than sorghum so we either reduce the quantity of sorghum in each plastic bag, or we increase the price of some of the popped cereals," said Francis Oundo, the group coordinator.
Using a bag of maize costing Sh450, the group can pop maize that sells for Sh1700. For sorghum, a kilo retailing at Sh80 sells for Sh500 once popped.
The youth group is now saving with the aim of buying the advanced machine from Japan. However, its marketing success has been primarily into urban areas, with consumption in low-income rural areas still limited.
The group is therefore looking at ways of producing lower cost snacks, by improving the efficiency of the cylinder, and sourcing cheaper cereals as well as identifying people's particular favourites, and improving quality, labeling and packaging, and scaling up the volumes of the popped grain, said Francis.
Some of the popped cereals have been treated with suspicion by potential customers who are not used to them. Others dislike the taste of some of them. The group has therefore introduced new ways to encourage consumption and entice a larger customer base. For example, on market days, which is one of the areas where business is booming, the company offer free samples of the popped cereals to prospective customers.
The group also uses combinations of flavours and colourings, including sugar syrup and salt, to make them more appealing. But, says Francis, "not too much sugar or salt! We are aware of the health implications of adding flavourings, and only apply enough to add taste."
The success of the project has seen Bioversity Kenya recruit Francis Oundo to spread the word to other areas of the country about the new way of processing cereals. This has seen a take-off in the processing in Kitui, where Francis is currently moving with the machine from one district to another training community groups.
According to Oundo, the market is Kitui has grown veryfast within the period he has been there. "The proximity of the town to the capital city and the curiosity of the locals has fuelled demand for the popped cereals. I can't even compare the demand here with that of Busia. It's simply overwhelming here," he said.
Bioversity Kenya aims to fuel this take-up further by increasing the number of machines made locally, in what now looks set to be something of a new craze for healthy snacks made locally.
