Romesco Sauce: The Perfect Companion to Calçots
As mentioned in yesterday's post, Calçots are supposed to be soaked in Romesco sauce. I mentioned the ingredients too. I guess this video might do to get the idea considering I wanted it in English for everyone to understand. I wish it was some Catalan chef but the guy knows what he's doing anyway.
Peeling Calçots, Masia Can Palau, Vilanova del Valles
In Catalonia, there is this part of the year when going out to have calçots at any of the many masias spread around the country becomes almost a matter of state. Most well-known places to have them are in the southern province of Tarragona, in a region called Valls but around Barcelona it is not strange to find a good spot in a idyllic environment. The place I will mention today is just an example and of course you are free to choose. It is called Masia Can Palau and it is located in Vilanova d [..]
Tattoo Shop, Barri Gotic, Barcelona
Becoming an intruder into somebody else's moment, sneaking into that magic instant that is no more and freezing it for posterity is one of the most thrilling experiences at least for me and I guess for anyone that enjoys photography. Walking down the narrow alleys of Barri Gotic, in a street whose name I can't recall, there was this small tattoo shop. The reflection of the man on the mirror and that green pouring out of the blinds really grabbed my attention. I had serious doubts as to whether t [..]
Estacion de Francia, Barcelona: Lamp and Beer Pump
Upon entering Estació de França in Barcelona and if you turn right and get into the bar you will find out that the place has been restored recently with great taste by the way. Worth mentioning are the big lamps hanging from the ceiling but today I would like to show you the ones on the counter (see image) next to the beer pump. A sweet mixture of tree, anemone and candlestick. I hope you enjoy the design and/or the beer.
Woman Waiting, Estació de França, Barcelona
A woman searches in her bag while her thoughts are somewhere far away. The quietude at the train station hall is the perfect environment to meditate before that long ride to who knows where. The pendulums hanging from the ceiling contribute to the idea of time passing by while the ticking of the clock on the distant wall, almost audible, is only interrupted by the steps of the guard walking his beat. Such is the impressive atmosphere at this famous train station in Barcelona. Find out more about [..]
Boquerones en Vinagre (Anchovies in Vinegar), Mediterranean Delight
Having a tapa of raw fish macerated in vinegar is surely not quite luring for some stomachs. Mediterranean anchovies are not just gutted fish salted in brine, matured and canned or bottled in oil or salt as those you find in the market. They are also served fresh and marinated in vinegar as the ones in the picture. This exquisite tapa is called Boquerones en vinagre. By now you probably have guessed that not all anchovies prepared this way taste the same and that both the freshness of the fish a [..]
Gallery on Building by Enric Sagnier, Gran Via 654, Barcelona
Eclectic building influenced by Catalan Art Nouveau but rich in baroque ornaments built by Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia back in 1904. Notice the beautiful undulated shapes of the stone gallery and the impressive ironwork of the balconies. You can find this building at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 654 exactly between Carrer Roger de Lluria and Carrer de Pau Claris.
Barcelona Photoblog Celebrates Sixth Anniversary, Cheers!
Yesterday, February 22nd, but six years ago, Barcelona Photoblog started a project that was meant to change this author's life a little bit. I have devoted many sleep hours to write almost 2000 posts and lots of long walks around this beautiful city to portray our reality. In 2005 I was lucky to find a good name but had the blog empty for over a year. I had no idea what to say or do. In 2006, there was this French guy, Eric, who had started a group called City Daily Photo meant to publish a pict [..]
Roman Temple, Vic, Catalonia
There are numerous good samples of the Roman past of Catalonia throughout our geography. This Roman temple from II a.c in the city of Vic is not precisely the best example since it underwent two important restorations but the fact is that at least part of a column shaft and the Corinthian capitals on the right hand side of the entrance are authentic. What is certainly special about this temple is that it was discovered in 1882 while demolishing the old Montcada's family castle who lived there in [..]
Gruyere Cheese Wheels, Vic Market, Catalonia
If you are a cheese lover you should not miss the sweet, nutty flavor of this exquisite Le Gruyere named after the valley of Gruyere in Fribourg, Switzerland. Such enormous wheels of cheese I found while visiting the Medieval Market in Vic. There were other posts in the past about such market here in Barcelona Photoblog: Medieval Musicians, Rabbit and Pumpkins, Spinning Yarn on a Drop Spindle
L'Ou Com Balla or The Dancing Egg, Barcelona Cathedral
In the cloister of the Cathedral of Barcelona there is a beautiful fountain decorated with flowers that reminds you of idyllic gardens, of some paradise lost on earth. It is the Sant Jordi fountain. Surfing over the soft cushion of its water jet once a year you can see a fragile eggshell that seldom falls which is called the L'Ou Com Balla, which translated literally from Catalan means how the egg dances or how dances the egg. This is not the only place in Barcelona where you can find a dancing [..]
The New Skyline of Barcelona: Corruption and Hedonism
Near the forum area and Diagonal Mar, new hotels and office buildings see the light of day like flowers in the spring. Once, we were told that the height of new buildings would be controlled in order to respect traditional Catalan architecture in the city. There were times when only Hotel Arts and Mapfre Tower overlooked the sea, as solitary twins down there by the beach. I am not sure if they ever passed the law but it seems that regulations are there to be broken by real estate companies in co [..]
Parc de Joan Miro or Parc de l'Escorxador, Barcelona
Here is a view of Parc de l'Escorxador or Parc de Joan Miro with the famous Dona i Ocell (1982) by the famous Catalan sculptor (Joan Miro Barcelona, 1893 - Palma, 1983). This shot was taken from the roof of Las Arenas shopping center. The colors are enhanced because I thought the whole scene was rather dull. In fact it still is but maybe with a little luck you happen to focus on the beautiful sculpture in the middle and follow the link to my previous post and better appreciate the work of Joan M [..]

A beautiful example of phonograph or Gramophone invented by Edison in 1877. This vintage record player can be admired at Casa Mila aka La Pedrera by Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona.
2012, New Plans: My Family
The new year is around the corner one more time and in these times of crisis, we should invest in more secure markets, some prefer gold, I prefer my family. Here's my daughter impersonating the black swan I think. Watching them grow to become teens, watching their ambitions, their plans for the future does make you wish for a better world, for a happy new year! Come to think of it that is all we've got that really matters, our family, our friends.
Catalan Modernisme: Cal Calixto, 26 Calle de la Diputación, Sant Sadurni D'Anoia
This beautiful balcony partly covered in stained glass can be admired on a house at 26 Calle de la Diputación in Sant Sadurni D'Anoia not far away from Cavas de Freixenet, the renown Catalan cava cellars. This is the exact spot in town to find Cal Calixtus (1885) which is the name of this beautiful sample of Catalan modernisme.
The Three Chimneys of Fecsa's Thermoelectric Plant in Barcelona
The Three Chimneys or Towers of Fecsa's old power plant which are visible from almost every spot in the city of Barcelona have been featured in Barcelona Photoblog in the past: The Three Chimneys in Sant Adria del Besos so I will not repeat the content of that post. In this case I only want to say that even though they are obsolete and not meant to last for too long now, they have this ominous and mysterious look at dusk.
What Will Cagatio Bring For Christmas?
El Tio de Nadal or Cagatio (Christmas log, pooping log or shit log) a piece of wood that kids hit on Christmas eve or Christmas day with a stick so it poops presents to the beat of a monotonous song (here is a good example of Caga Tio found on Youtube), is deep rooted in Catalan traditions and strangely blends with imported gift couriers like Santa or the Three Wise Men, and being just a log and all, the point is that it surely is time enduring. It has even evolved from just a simple wooden bloc [..]
Gaudi Chimneys: The Amazing Surreal Shapes of Catalan Art Nouveau
When you step into Casa Mila's rooftop, you enter a surreal realm of uncanny figures begotten in the womb of some eerie creature or conceived in the unfathomable labyrinth of a very insane but wise mind, figures that remind alien chrysalides about to eclose or deceiving chess pieces that seem to move ominously behind your back. Apparently they are only chimneys but definitely there is something mysterious about them, as if they had been alive and were now under some spell. Some may resemble tote [..]
Sant Felip Neri Square, Barri Gotic, Barcelona
This is Plaça Sant Felip Neri, a small and very quiet square in Barri Gotic, Barcelona. If you go up Carrer del Bisbe and take the narrow street on the corner of the archbishopric to the right, you will come across an archway that leads to this magi

Although not precisely a bicycle enthusiast and certainly not an expert rider, I must admit that it must be a thrill moving around Barcelona on a bike. The more bicycle friendly the city gets the more frequent it is to find groups of riders exploring
Pa de Pages, Our Modest Catalan Bread
In Catalonia when we make things we make it big like say, this modest, tiny, insignificant bread. Hansel and Gretel would have had bread crumbs enough to leave a generous trail behind them, feed the birds and make a nice toast at the end of the road.

Pottery: From Clay to Ceramics

Casa Mila by Gaudi: Modernist Staircase Detail

Red Yeast Rice and Cholesterol (cont.)In this Article
How safe are red yeast rice products?Animal studies have been conducted in China using high doses of red yeast rice products. No damage to the kidneys, liver, or other organs were demonstrated in these studies. Human trials in China and in the United States reported only rare and minor side effects of heartburn or indigestion with the use red yeast rice products. No liver, kidney, or muscle toxicity has been reported. However, human trials in the United States and China have generally lasted only a few weeks to a few months. Thus, conclusive proof of long term safety (over a period of many years) will have to await further data (such as from data received after the products have been marketed or long-term clinical trials). Scientists conducting the studies generally believe that red yeast rice is safe in the long-term since it has been a food staple for thousands of years in Asian countries without reports of toxicity. They attribute the safety of red yeast rice products to the process of preparation that does not involve the isolation and concentration of a single ingredient. Although it is true that isolation and concentration enhance the potency of a single ingredient, these factors also increase the risk of side effects. Are there any precautions in consuming red yeast rice products?Not all red yeast rice products contain the same concentrations of the cholesterol-lowering ingredients. Moreover, it is illegal in the United States to sell red yeast rice products that contain more than trace amounts of cholesterol lowering substances. Therefore, the red yeast rice products that are available in the United States do not contain levels of cholesterol lowering substances that are likely to cause side effects. Nevertheless, certain products also may contain unacceptably high levels of an undesirable and toxic substance called citrinic acid. |

It all started with a simple idea brought to us by our pal Luke: solicit the most long-winded, pretentious Starbucks order from the depths of the internet, order it, and consume. Always in favor of avoiding work in the pursuit of frivolous time wasters we happily took to Twitter and demanded your most exhaustive Starbucks orders in 140 characters and not many less. We were shocked at the extravagant orders some of you called "your regular" (and PS if you're consuming that much sugar regularly we hope you're in touch with a dialysis facility) and dismayed that roughly half of you had to make a hackneyed "LOL STARBUCKS IS TEH SUX0R!!111!" joke. We combed over the results and picked the two most ridiculous drinks we could find. Then we sent Jason Toon and me, Randall Cleveland, to sample them. We opted for the Starbucks on the 40th floor of our building, as opposed to the one in the basement, because every skyscraper should have several options for the same exact company.
Randall's Order:
Jason's Order:
We approached the counter with the sort of trepidation a person should have when trying to commit bald-faced annoyance against what could be a harried, intolerant retail employee...
"Hey, uh, so this is supposed to be a joke. But we asked people for the most complicated Starbucks order they could think of-" "And we have to make it?" "Well, uh, if you CAN make it yeah, that'd be awesome. But it's really long, so should I just hand you this paper?" "No. Read it to me." Ugh. She was going to make me say it. All of it. I took a breath and buried my nose in my crumpled notebook paper, rattling it off. "We...don't have some of that stuff. We don't have the trenta size here and we don't have lemon zest or brownie chunks." "Make it a venti, give me raspberry instead of lemon, and I'll take a brownie on the side." Adaptability! I made my way to the opposite end of the counter ("Don't forget your brownie") while Jason ordered his sugary concoction with the same sullen shame. An attractive woman behind the counter had to ask two different co-workers for verification before starting on my drink. Once finished she rattled off the entire name of the stupid thing, as if there would be any confusion once you got to "Four Shot Short Pull Half Caff." I still don't even know what a short pull is. "Have you ORDERED this before?" she asked as she handed me my cup. "Uh, sure. I have one or two of these a day," I lied, but she saw right through me. "Do you know how this is going to taste?" "No. Do YOU?" "No." "Do you want to taste it?" "Uh..." "That was weird. Sorry. That was a weird thing to say." She laughed and started in on Jason's frozen coffee tragedy. Again she rattled off the full name, as if someone else in the Starbucks had ordered seven pumps of anything. Ever. We decided to retreat to the office for our tasting.
Jason couldn't wait. "I'm doing this," he said, steeling himself in the elevator. Before the liquid had fallen back down the straw a wincing grimace nearly cracked his face in two.
Jason's Tasting Notes: "The sugar monkey is on my back something bad. When I was in college, I'd eat half a box of Little Debbies on the walk back from the supermarket. My physical limit for donut intake is purely theoretical. And even I was nauseated by this glucalyptic fructocaust. The chai flavor was intense enough to overwhelm my senses, but still not quite enough to mask the cloying, syrupy caramel flavor. I only managed to choke down enough to lower the mound of whipped cream to the brim of the cup. This is the kind of thing that you should get for free if you can finish it in one sitting." With a self-described sugar junkie wincing at the fructose overload, I was definitely nervous. Back in the office and safe from prying eyes I raised the cup to my lips. "Wait," Jason stopped me, I'd hoped as part of some last minute editorial reprieve. "You need to chunk your brownie and throw it in there." Oh. Right. Thanks for that. I crumbled a double-fudge brownie into pieces still too large to consume. To my dismay they sat atop the froth, supported by the density of sugar slurry in the coffee. I had attracted a crowd of our Developers; there was no going back. I sipped.
Blargh! I had figured this would be such a sugary combination that it would taste like little more than diabetes in a cup, but nothing could've prepared me for the combination of chai, cinnamon, and chocolate. The whole thing came together to taste not unlike hot garbage. But the kicker was the raspberry. There's no way any actual raspberries were harmed in the making of this, or if there were their sacrifice was in vain because the chemical reaction reduced "raspberry" to "rancid dumpster scum." My teeth ached and felt like they were sprouting fur. My heart rate kicked up a notch, probably as a warning to discourage me from drinking any more. It would not surprise me to learn that this is not fit for human consumption. Our final recommendations? I'll stick with the occasional mocha to satisfy my coffee itch. Jason will stick with doughnuts. Would YOU try something like this? Got another bizarre menu item we should sample? Let us know in the comments! (And special thanks to our Twitter pals @Amauriel and @TheMadPope for their suggestions!)
You should try a St. Paul Sammich with dried shredded pork EVERY Chinese takeout place has in the back but never serves to white people...
Glad to see you liked mine! (HAHAHAHA) We don't call it "The Chai Milkshake" for nothing! And say what you want, but just the picture of you trying it makes me crave one...might stop on my way home tonight!
Oh lordy. As a former barista, I sure hope you tipped that girl really well. I know they don't tamp and pull their own shots at Starbucks, but she certainly deserved a big ole fat tip for those drinks.
Thank you for sharing your misery for our reading pleasure. I honestly can't remember laughing this hard; definitely never for a blog post.
Venti Americano with an extra shot. That'll put you right. All that sugar is for whimps who shoulda gone to 7-11.
I actually have a little custom SBUX debit card with my order on it, so that baristas and family members can sort out my order. (They used to sell the custom "make your own" cards online; I don't know if they still do.) It has the markings for: Grande half-caf sugar free Cinnamon Dolce breve latte with no whip, don't forget the sprinkles pleaseee. Of course, when it's warm, I have it a little different: Vente iced sugar free Cinnamon Dolce breve latte, no whip, with an extra pump on top because the specific gravity of the syrup is so much more that it doesn't want to mix even when you try, so that top pump helps mitigate that a little, thanks. And yes, sprinkles. Now, a while back, SBUX created the "Skinny Cinnamon Dolce", which is a shorthand way of ordering a sugar free CDL with nonfat milk. Let me tell you, those things taste like ass, because the milk is so thin it's like milky water. So for a while my baristas would call it as a "skinny breve Cinnamon Dolce", which is sort of like saying "an anorexic fat girl." I mean, not that such a person doesn't exist, but if you're one, you probably don't want to be publically called the other, if you get my drift. So I had a talk with corporate via their customer service, and what they said is that if it's Breve, it's not skinny. Duh. So now, when baristas call it a skinny, I tell them that A) corporate says it's not to be called that way and B) calling it a skinny in the morning when I'm not awake makes me so irritable that I as a perimenopausal woman feel a sudden desire to do bodily harm to the closest hipster teen, which is usually said barista, so can we totally not go there again today. It seems to have worked.
As one who eagerly awaits the return of the "Now That's Just Overpriced..." shirt at Shirt.Woot, I feel the need to inform you that I laughed so hard, I wept and nearly peed myself. I am now in the process of stuffing this post down the throats of my Starbucks-crazed friends. I have never paid money into the Evil Empire, and I don't think I shall ever.
As another Luke who likes to experiment with society & food, I enjoyed this thoroughly. I'll eat just about anything (that's marketed as edible) on a dare. I'll take the oddball thing on the menu over the safe bet, and like trying exotic stuff at least once. The most recent thing I remember having that grossed out the masses was one of those hard candy suckers with a scorpion in it. Not very good, but something different for me.
Ok, I used to work at a hometown coffee cafe. I'm going to give you my favorite. large (vente *eye roll*) hot mocha half pumps of the following in order, on top: hazelnut caramel extra squeeze of chocolate whipped cream Called it a snickers bar, it's yummy over the top sugarness. ************** Best yummy though is a machiatto - made like a large hot mocha with a shot of orange.
I believe glucalyptic fructocaust is now permanently in my lexicon. Good stuff.
My girl was a barista for a while and just recently threw out a similar challenge to her former co-workers for their favorites. Winner was a Cheesecake Frapp, made as follows: 5 cream cheeses (yes, the packets they give you for your bagel), 3 pumps cream base, 1 pump vanilla, milk measured for a tall frap, ice measured for a tall frap, blended. Personally, I like to add a couple pumps of random flavor, rasberry, lemon, strawberry, just for good measure. Tasty.
I normally order a green-eyed venti mocha with a shot of raspberry and whipped cream. For those who don't usually consume insane quantities of caffeine, the green-eye part is four espresso shots in the single cup of coffee.
As a former Starbucks barista, I must say that I enjoyed the challenge of overly difficult beverages...when we weren't busy, of course. However, when you're trying to balance and differentiate between 14 different cups of indeterminate tan liquids and someone orders one...you might as well have asked me to prepare all of them on one foot. That being said, my wife's favorite beverage was as follows: Iced grande 1½ pump mocha, 1½ pump white mocha, 1½ pump sugar-free vanilla (ya know...wouldn't want to get too much lol) non-fat light ice with whip latte Making it: not that big of an issue. Asking someone to make it: entirely different = )
As a greater challenge try spending 24 hours inside a Starbucks. It has been done before: The Starbucks Experiment

I've had the "red eye" and "black eye" before - this "green-eye" sounds tempting, but I wonder if my insurance covers "cardiac explosion".

A fellow GABber?
Really loved your guys' valiant effort, but your embarrassment at the experience put a damper on it for me. You put out a call for the craziest Starbucks orders and decided to try them out, so OWN that sh*t! Have fun with it and embrace yo bad sugar-sippin side...

Lady Windermere's Fan
T66137892On the morning of his wife's twenty-first birthday, Lord Windermere gives her, as a token of his love, a beautiful present - a fan. However, she is to find out that her love is not as secure as she once believed. Who is the strange Mrs Erlynne and what is her husband's involvement with her? Within the structured confines of London 'society', Oscar Wilde creates a witty cartoon of morality and double standards. In twenty-four hours the happiness of Lard and Lady Windermere teeters on the precipice of scandal and disaster. Coloured with rakish young fops, innocent daughters, scheming mothers and bumbling gentlemen, lady Windermere's Fan is Oscar Wilde's classic comedy of manners, hidden identities and mistaken understandings.

Why it's time for the 13-inch MacBook Pro to go away
October 2008. I remember eagerly buying Apple's newly designed and sleekly beautiful unibody MacBook. My son, now 3 1/2, was just born. The last presidential election was just wrapping up. "Avatar" hadn't even come out yet. The iPhone was in its second iteration. The iPad was still a year and a half away.
A long time has passed since, yet the 13-inch MacBook Pro, in terms of just sheer design, has barely changed at all. Sure, under the hood it's a completely different computer: fast Intel processor, Thunderbolt, integrated long-life battery, better screen. Yet, I can line up that 2008 13-incher (then just known as the MacBook) next to the latest 13-inch Pro and most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. … Read more

[All Episodes] #7: Footsteps#6: Series in Decline#5: Sex, Death and Morals in Horror#4: The Loudness War#3: The Rule of Threes#2: Bad Translations#1: The Drums From "Be My Baby"
[ Download | iTunes | RSS ]
The Loudness War is the pejorative name given to the decades-long struggle to try and make the loudest record, to have that one song that'll stand out above the flood of other sounds we hear, musical and non-musical, on a daily basis. Of course, with everybody competing for the next loudest record, all this has done is made that flood much, much louder. And people are starting to say enough!
Why is loudness bad? Is loudness bad? How loud is too loud? What do those shiny little plastic discs we used to pay twenty dollars for have to do with all this? What's it going to take to end this thing once and for all? The answers to these questions—and some very loud music along the way—this time on Sounds Familiar. Next week: "The Rule of Threes"
I might just use this visual aid for a story I'm working on about compression and the loudness wars.
Sounds for dummies with bunnies.

This is short, kinda silly, and the climbing is not particularly memorable. However, the approach is a nice hike, with great views, the glade/meadow where this feature is located is a very cute little spot, and the feature itself is a ridiculous shape; a penguin with a blindfold. Maybe it's a labrador puppy. it's very friendly anyway.Approach by hiking up a ledge/stratum from your car. Up and up and up, until you summit the highest point of the ridge. Then contour down (north) and around to enter the penguin's garden.The route begins up a short crack. This is allegedly 5.5, in Bjornstad's book. Hmmmm. You can avoid this by a runout face bit to the right; much more pleasant. I chose the wide crack, and struggled. The final short face is steep, ledgy and fun. See how far you dare step out onto the penguin's bill...Enjoy.
A handful of quickdraws and a couple 4 to 5-inch cams for the start.
And this is located where in the park??? Assume I don't have the guidebook you've listed as a reference. Thanks.
Get the guidebook! You will be supporting the climbing community and opening your mind to a world of classic climbs!
Yes, of course... Get the guidebook and completely eliminate the purpose of this site. Get a job, man. I support the climbing community as much as I have the opportunity to (mountain clean-ups and the like), but it seems to me the purpose of this site is to provide concise information about climbs in/near Moab. For those of us who don't live there and can't drive there every weekend, a guidebook is hardly a worthy expenditure. Plus, having a print-out from this site and other like it means having something of a souvenir for an on-sight or whathaveyou. And finally TuffGong, you didn't have ANY qualms with posting three routes on the site with beta so far. Why the anxiety/reluctance to help out a fellow cragger/crack-er (no pun intended)?
Sorry, I thought Peter Gram wrote out some pretty clear instructions as to how to get to Sunshine Wall. This is not in Arches National Park, it is just outside, immediately north. Simplest thing is to drive 17 (?-I forget exactly) miles north of Moab on 191 to get to the turn-off. The main parking spot is pretty obvious, at the far left end of the wall (the road starts to get rougher after this, and soon becomes real 4x4 after a quarter mile or so, and the hike approach is up the obvious slanting ledgey strata from close to the car up and right, just like it says. You can see the tower when you hike the bottom of the cliff, but you cannot access it from here. Maybe you don't want to spring for a guidebook, but I'd expect folks to read the Sunshine Wall page with Peter Gram's instructions before demanding more info here. The Visitor Center in Moab will give you a free Utah road map too. Browse the guidebook in Pagan or the Visitor Center and put it back on the shelf. Please, if you expect to get much out of desert climbing, be prepared to have to invest something. Either money in guidebooks, or else some time and effort. This ain't Shelf Road. Beter to think of this website as another resource for finding and enjoying desert climbs. It's not a guidebook. I don't think it's a replacement for a guidebook.
When I did this, I placed a #4 Camalot at the top of the crack, a couple of TCU's in a horizontal crack below the drilled piton, then a quickdraw for the piton. Fun tower. Great setting. -RoadtripRyan
Funny "handful of quickdraws" seeing there's only one bolt. Though the one bolt protects the route pretty well.
easy to get to, easy to find the start to the approach. stick close to the drainage on approach and decent. a bit confusing upon arrival because you can not see the overhang. your looking directly at the route. can be done with 3 or 4 peaces. a big hex, a small cam, and a draw. #1 camalot optional. circle around south to good drainages to enter garden. new red sling as of this date on top, with nice bolts. this thing doe's not see a lot of accents. the booze bottle for the summit register was a nice touch. mando for the oddball tower rat or someone looking to scoop an easy one.
Make sure you know where you are going before hand. Took me a bit to find... excellent view once on top and a great lead climb for a beginner like myself.
Finally ticked this cool looking tower. I parked at the naked women petroglyph, hiked 4 miles all the way around the bend, it's further than you think, then hiked half way back on the top. Made my way down into the canyon, felt way the hell out there. It's really short and I brought way to much gear. I rope soloed it, brought a #2,#3 camalot for the anchor at the bottom, worked my way up the OW, the then placed a .3 C3, clipped the bolt and was at the top. Other towers in the area look really good, and the climbs at the sunshine wall are fun. 8 miles total for 40' of climbing. Total adventure and great views the entire way. How much do you like hiking in sand??
Fun climb and actually worth the hike, especially since it's such a nice hike. Watch the Crypto! Have to agree with the guidebook on this one, definately the easiest offwidth/chimney I've ever climbed. The friction in the crack and on the slab is excellent. The crux at the top is a little technical so I'll split the difference. ;-)

Welcome to Berlin, without a doubt one of the most interesting and exciting cities in Europe and the world. Berlin is a city of contrasts. Its diversity is reflected in the very districts that it comprises: from the most elegant ones in the west to the favorites among youth, artists, and the most eccentric Berliners in the eastern part of the city. If you enjoy history, architecture, culture, nightlife or all together all at once, Berlin is a great place to visit. Berlin, which illustrated for long a long time the division of the world into two Cold War blocs, has developed into a modern day metropolis with a dynamic economic and cultural lifestyle. The city's location, in the heart of Europe, and its recovered role as the capital of Germany, guarantees major international spotlight. Because Berlin is a city devoted to art, with numerous and prestigious museums known worldwide, crossroad to intense intellectual debate and artistic creations, it attracts many visitors interested in culture. The extensive transportation network makes moving around this vast metropolis easy. In addition to more traditional favorites such as the Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate, the Island Museum, and the remaining sections of the Berlin Wall, there are many other places of interest, such as the Potsdamer Platz with its modern skyscrapers, and the western part of the city with the Kurfürstendamm Boulevard and its beautiful surrounding streets.
In short, Berlin is a city full of history, interesting corners and a large number of cultural activities of all kinds.

No other major city offers so many green areas as Berlin. In downtown Berlin you shall find the Tiergarten, the city's great "lungs".

'33 griffin price
have you guys seen the price bid on the '33 griffin on ebay? wow. i passed on one at hershey two years ago..fully restored including the emblem because i thought 400 was too much. wow. i hope it is going on a car and not in a cabinet. regards, tom
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140882540009?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 -
Sold for 560.99 unreal guess I will have to keep looking
With EBay, somedays are diamonds somedays are stone...Brownie
considering it has to be replated & has no "badge" think that's overpriced.
one has to be VERY careful about to whom you'd entrust to replate this, a shop that would not buff it down too much & be careful with all the small parts that stick out & who do small pieces, not just bumpers.
I was told the best places to seek out are those that plate stuff for motorcycles as "bikers" will only accept top quality work & deal only in small parts.
When I was in the process of restoring my T8 conv. I sent a bumper to a shop as a "test case", LOL. I had several "mascots", inc. an NOS one - wonder what that would bring on eBay? -
Do have any now that you would sell
When I sold my '33 all of the parts went with it. There was at least one nice spare but know the new owner wishes to remain anonymous & until car finished would not sell any of the many spare parts that went with it.
as usual, photo didn't appear!

It's not hard to find Ray Lewis in prayer. You might catch a glimpse of it on the sidelines before a game. In the locker room. Even on the cover of Sports Illustrated -- the muscular Baltimore Ravens linebacker standing bare-chested in a swimming pool, his palms pressed together.
To some, Lewis' frequent expressions of faith are the marks of a life redeemed, a long 13-year journey from murder accusations -- later dropped by prosecutors -- in the death of two men hours after the 2000 Super Bowl in Atlanta.
But for others, the show of faith is little more than an act.
"Stop acting like you are one of the people that come out of the Bible," said Greg Wilson, whose nephew Jacinth Baker died along with a friend in the infamous melee 13 years ago that almost derailed Lewis' career.
"If you're redeemed -- and he's always quoting Scriptures -- then you would have stood up like a man and said what happened," Wilson said.
For many football fans, Lewis' story begins at the University of Miami, where he quickly made his mark on the football field -- taking All-America honors each of the three years he played before surrendering his final year of eligibility to enter the 1996 NFL draft.
The Ravens picked him 26th overall, fifth among linebackers. And he made a quick name for himself, earning AFC defensive player of the week honors in his first regular season game.
He went on to earn 13 Pro Bowl invitations.
But for Lewis, of course, the story begins years before, during his childhood in Lakeland, Florida. That's when, he says, his walk with God began.
"My mom did a heck of a job raising a man to put my complete faith in God from Day One," Lewis told reporters gathered for the Super Bowl on Wednesday. "From 9 years old, when I was ordained as a junior deacon, she always said that some days, you may find yourself away from God, but you will find yourself back."
A pivotal night
On January 31, 2000, hours after watching the St. Louis Rams beat the Tennessee Titans in the Super Bowl, Lewis and a few friends were out at the Cobalt Lounge in Atlanta's Buckhead Village celebrating football's biggest night.
As they left, around 4 a.m., a fight erupted.
It's unclear who started the fight, but it became an all-out brawl when Baker smashed a champagne bottle over the head of Reginald Oakley, a friend of Lewis'.
What else happened during those pivotal moments remains something of a mystery. How did the fight start? Why? And who killed Baker and his friend, Richard Lollar?
To this day, even one of the men arrested that night says he's still not entirely clear on what happened.
What is clear is that, within minutes, Baker and Lollar lay dead in the street as Lewis and his friends raced away in a limousine.
The next day, police arrested Lewis, Oakley and another friend, Joseph Sweeting, on murder charges.
At the time, Atlanta prosecutors said they had a trail of blood and eyewitness testimony to prove Lewis and the others were involved.
The limo driver, Duane Fassett, told investigators he heard Oakley and Sweeting tell others in the limo that they had stabbed the victims, according to multiple news reports at the time. Lewis, according to Fassett's account, told everyone to keep quiet, saying he wouldn't allow his football career to end this way.
Lewis and his defense attorney, however, have long maintained Lewis was trying to act as a peacemaker, to get his friends back in the limo and away from trouble.
When the trial started, the case crumbled on live television. Witnesses changed their stories. Defense lawyers tore down the claims of witnesses who had troubled pasts or had spent the night drinking.
Prosecutors "put their case together with Band-Aids and it didn't hold together," Lewis' attorney, Ed Garland, told CNN this week.
The district attorney's office ended up dropping the murder charges against Lewis in the middle of the trial to cut a plea deal. Lewis agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice and testify against his friends.
But in the end, that wasn't enough to win prosecutors a conviction. The jury acquitted Oakley and Sweeting, too.
No was ever convicted in the killings.
Ray Lewis' path to redemption had begun.
'Reverend Ray'
A year later, Lewis was back at the Super Bowl, this time as a player. He earned Most Valuable Player honors in a 34-7 rout of the New York Giants.
In the ensuing years, Lewis stuck close to a growing faith, one nurtured during rollicking prayer services at Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore.
"God has done something in my life -- and not just for me to see it," Sports Illustrated quoted Lewis as saying during a service there in 2006. "God has done something in my life for every hater, every enemy."
Strong faith comes naturally to Lewis, said his pastor, the Rev. Jamal Bryant.
"He's a jack-leg preacher without a license, no Bible college, but it's just in him," Bryant said. "He can't help it. He's spoken here a couple of times. I've put him up to do our Bible study and he's like Billy Graham and Bishop (T.D.) Jakes wrapped into one."
So while most of the football world still knew him as Ray Lewis, his fans in Baltimore were learning a different name for him.
Reverend Ray, they would come to call him.
Retirement tour
Lewis announced last year that he would make this season his last, and analysts say both he and his Ravens team have played inspired football in reaching the Super Bowl.
Along the way, he's spoken frequently of his faith, putting it on display for everyone to see.
"You can go build buildings. You can have a nice whatever you want to have," Lewis told reporters this week. "But, impact is totally different, and when you talk about the walk of Jesus, his whole walk was impact."
"My life is based off impact," Lewis said, "grabbing somebody and letting them know that life is to be lived together to figure out the wrongs and rights and teach somebody else those morals and ethics so they don't go back down those same roads."

Includes FREE Zezu Car Seat - Black
Order today for Monday delivery
With the comfortable all in one carrycot and seat unit, the Zezu from OBaby effortlessly changes from a pram into a stroller. Front or rear facing options and the additional easy click car seat adds to the versatility and convenience of a travel system. Zezu also has the benefit of quick release wheels means this pramette takes up even less space in your boot.
Pushchair Features:
Car Seat
Suitable from birth - 13 kg (approx 12 months) the zezu car seat fits into your vehicle with the cars 3-point seat belt. Simply attach the car seat to your zezu pushchair to create a versatile travel system.
The obaby zezu in lime green looks fab! I wanted something a bit different to all the other people I see with pushchairs. And this is definitely different! It's very bright, vibrant, stylish and stands out from the crowd. I love the spots inside the hood which is what makes it different from all the others and I used the spots to colour coordinate with a black and white spotty changing bag! The wheels are big so will last years and it's so easy to fold down and pop in the car. The price is fantastic which made it even more easy to choose as the car seat came with the whole package which saved pennies and time trying to find one. Can't wait for my son to arrive to use it!
Our baby is not due for another 3 months but this pram seems just what we were looking for. I found no bad reviews online except that it is difficult to fit into car boots, our boot is rather small but it seems to fit ok with little else in the boot. I found it easy to set up even with big baby bump in the way, cannot wait to use it!
The lever you press to fold the prame is so much easier to use than the 2 triggers either side. The swivel with the front two wheels is excellent but why you would want to lock it so that it can't I do not know. Makes maneouvring the prame so much easier. The basket is difficult to access when the carry cor is in use but ample space when the car seat is on. My 4 year old son can stand on the back and hitch a ride which is great. To release the carry cot or car seat from the chassis you have to press a button either side and pull up which can be awkward. It is a bit bulky and could be lighter but you get what you pay for. I could of had that and paid £500+ but I did not have that muich to spend on a pram so this was a suitable compromise.
i am really happy with the pram and my baby enjoys strolls in it, great colours, fits in small car boot and easy to set up !
This is a really good system, I can't find anything better especially for the money. The only downside is the car seat is not great for my 1970's car which I use everyday, it would be absolutely fine in a modern car though. I live in a very rural area and the unmade roads around here are a breeze with the large pneumatic tyres and suspension making it comfy for baby, the handle is suitable for 6 foot plus without having to bend down to reach it, everything feels quality and well thought out and it is easy to assemble.
