You were maybe expecting monsters on Halloween? Less than a week after NBC so disastrously attempted to "re-imagine" Dracula, cable's Sundance Channel scores again — in a year that has already given us the exceptional Top of the Lake and Rectify — by subtly yet audaciously flipping the zombie thriller in the eight-part French import The Returned (with English subtitles). In this quietly creepy and profoundly unsettling supernatural mystery (Thursday, 9/8c), the undead are portrayed not as Walking Dead-style flesh-eaters but as deeply and unmistakably flesh-and-blood human.
Wedding bells will be ringing on Grey's Anatomy this season!
When the cast of the ABC medical drama celebrated its 200th episode on Saturday night, executive producer Shonda Rhimes revealed to TVGuide.com that they're planning a wedding this season. Naturally, the first guess is that April (Sarah Drew) and Matthew (Justin Bruening) will be walking down the aisle since the duo patched things up in the premiere. But will they really be the ones to get married? Get the scoop on that, new love interests, a fun return and an emotional exit... read more

Judging solely by the title Mistresses, you might assume that the four leading ladies of ABC's new primetime soap play man-hungry home wreckers. Not so fast! Alyssa Milano (married attorney Savannah "Savi" Davis), Yunjin Kim (psychiatrist Karen Rhodes), Rochelle Aytes (widowed shopkeeper April Malloy) and Jes Macallan (Savi's realtor sister, Josslyn) want you to know there's a lot ... read more
"Here's the story
Of two lovely ladies ..."
Doesn't take long before ABC Family's The Fosters dispels one of its two moms' worries that if they keep adding kids to their already crowded household, "It's going to be like The Brady Bunch around here." Well, maybe if Carol had married Alice and Alice was an African-American private-school vice principal and Carol was a cop and the kids were a blended multi-racial rainbow of diversity. Earnest but rarely saccharine, this promising new family drama (Monday, 9/8c) — to be paired in future weeks with the channel's best series, Switched at Birth — establishes its edgier tone by introducing its main character, the abused but prideful Callie (Maia Mitchell), as she gets roughed up on her way out of juvy and into the welcoming custody of Lena (Sherri Saum), who hasn't yet told her partner-the-cop Stef (Teri Polo) about the new addition.

My favorite is the 30-06. Really hard to beat. The rifle is a Rem 700 BDL with a Bell and Carlson Kevlar stock,Shilen match trigger, Greg Tannel fireing pin and spring with a custom shroud and a decelorator recoil pad. Topped with a Lupy VXIII 3x9. I shoot TSX 180s at 2700fps. It has knock down power. Very accurate and tough. I am a Gunsmith so after this years trip she gets a new barrel. A Shilen super match grade I bought for this project. So as she sits now its a semi custom job.

30-06. Rifle choice is a bit odd: an M1 Garand made in 1941, rebuilt by Eric Pierce. I opened up the rear aperture to about 0.125 inch to make it quicker and easier to see in lower light. Doesn't get to go to Africa, but I do really enjoy that rifle. There is just something special and fun about it. I've taken a bison and an axis deer with it. I'll probably use it for whitetail this fall. It doesn't get as much hunting use as my bolt gun in '06, but it is clearly my favorite.

I too have a fine shooting M1, an H&R that I got from the DCM program when I was still shooting High Power competition. Those rifles were a pig in a poke as to what you would get. For once I got lucky and got a beauty! Fine new barrel, perfect cut chamber, brass last for as many loadings as I can stand to look at them. Did well with it in the matches, won the local M1 match with it one year by a large margin. It is one of those guns I will be planted with. '06 of course! Have found no better load than 48.5 grs of IMR 4064 in Win cases, CCI 200 primer behind a 168 Sierra or Nosler match. Back when the Nosler Solid Base bullets were still around it was phenominal, but it shoots the new Nosler almost as well. It helped when I still had really good vision which at 57 I no longer have.

I probably should say my 300 Win Mag in a Browning A Bolt is my favorite gun...it has killed a lot of game.
But my Browning Bar in a 30-06 is my favorite. A lot of people like to put the 30-06 down. But the fact is it has killed a ton of game! The ammo is widely available and is cheaper than other calibers. The recoil is very manageable. Unless a person hunts cape buffalo or elephant....he has a gun that can do anything.

I would stick with the 06. Win model 70 featherweight toped with a redfield 3x9. That is what I used on my recent trip to SA and she performed like a dream. Hornady superformace 180grn interbond. 2900 fps almost puts it to the .300 mag velocities. Thats my favorite.

Ultrasound in pregnancy: A cultural phenomenon?
By Mary M. Murry, R.N., C.N.M.
14 comments posted
When I first started working as a labor and delivery nurse, fetal ultrasounds didn't exist. Just imagine — no pictures of your developing baby, and no way to determine your baby's sex until birth. Twins were sometimes a surprise in the delivery room!
Today, of course, the situation is quite different. Ultrasound in pregnancy is considered a normal part of prenatal care. Sometimes ultrasound offers reassurance, such as a strong heartbeat or evidence of normal growth and development. You might enjoy the added benefit of learning your baby's sex ahead of time. In other cases ultrasound detects the heartbreaking loss of pregnancy or the possible presence of a birth defect.
The availability of commercial ultrasound packages takes ultrasound in pregnancy to a new level. Businesses offering fetal ultrasounds for keepsake photos or videos — some available in 3D — have popped up in malls and shopping centers across the country. As tempting as it might be to seek this sort of memento, remember that ultrasound isn't quite like snapping a photo. It's a medical procedure and isn't recommended solely for fun. If you decide to proceed with commercial ultrasound, do your homework. Check on training and credentials for the staff members. Ask what happens if the technician detects an abnormality on the ultrasound. Make sure you're comfortable with any disclaimers or legal waivers.
It's also important to remember that ultrasound in pregnancy is fallible. Sometimes birth defects are missed — or incorrectly identified — with ultrasound. Sometimes a baby's sex is obvious, and sometimes a bit of guesswork or uncertainty is involved.
Still, ultrasound in pregnancy is woven into our culture. Do you suppose there will ever be a fetal Facebook where in utero babies will send out friend requests along with their ultrasound pictures?

I have a friend who recently went in for an ultrasound and they told her she had to have a dye inserted intravenously to get a better ultrasound. They did not tell her why they were doing this or if they were concerned anything was wrong with the fetus. Three or four days later she went to the ER because she thought something was wrong with the fetus. She was told to lie on her back and the heart beat stopped, so she turned to her side and it started back and they sent her home once the fetus was stabilized. A couple weeks later she went to a specialist for more ultrasounds, again not telling her why, and they could not find a heartbeat and the baby had passed. Is there a connection to the dye? Or is it possible the doctor ordered special ultrasounds because he thought there was something wrong but did not tell my friend? Just looking for any possible answer. Thank you.

I have had complications so I have already had 3 ultrasounds. I absolutely love that I can see my baby move and it gives me peace of mind that I can see that she is ok. I had considered getting a 3D ultrasound as "recreational" but this article put that in perspective for me, I realize that this is a medical procedure and shouldn't be done just because or taken lightly, I would hope that I am not or have not caused any damage to my baby. I will definitely ask my dr. about any known side effects of ultrasounds. Thanks for the comments and the article!

I think the US at my OG/GYN's office has become quite the money-maker for him, he tries to push it with every other visit at $500. He bully's the MOM with "we want to do everything possible to keep baby safe, don't we," and then implies that you need to find another doc(after he is already paid if you don't go alomg without questioning him too much.)Maybe it should be once and done, or left to MOM and DAD! Here is one MOM who will kiss $5K away and get another doc!
May 4, 2012 9:37 p.m.
Yeah, seems like very OB is different and each pesorn's case is different. What you have as your 8 week my OB's office does during the 12th week, around the same time as the nuchal. Also, depending on your pregnancy history and number of miscarriages associated with those pregnancy(ies), the number of ultrasounds done may be different too and how early you are seen with 8 weeks being the standard 1st appointment. Personally, I think we should be able to get an ultrasound more often than the usual 3 that my OB's office provides for ppl with normal pregnancies. But I go to a really reputable and awesome practice in the area so I have no real concerning complaints.

Though I did get an ultrasound initially to detect gestational age (at the strong urging of my midwife because my periods had been irregular), I won't be going back for another unless circumstances demand it. Most folks in the field I've spoken with say that an ultrasound for a young, healthy woman without any identified risk factors is totally optional. In that case, I opt out. People can't believe it! "How do you know your baby's growing?". Um, do I even have to answer that? ;) I'd also be very curious about a study that deals with children that get multiple ultrasounds vs. kids that get one or none at all. Though it was the 80s and certainly en vouge, my mom (a midwife at the time) never had an ultrasound with me or my siblings.

I agree with Michael, an ongoing study of women who do and don't have ultrasounds performed during pregnancy could reveal if babies experiences any negative effects from ultrasound while developing in the womb. I am 30 years old so my husband and I are hoping to begin a family in the near future. If I become pregnant, I will be very cautious about exposing my unborn child to ultrasound. I hope to go through pregnancy without having any ultrasounds performed as I would not want to unknowingly harm my baby. In addition, I hope to not be induced and let the baby come when he or she is ready. I am so thankful for medical advances and at the same time feel that caution is important, especially when there is uncertianty regarding lasting effects of even standard medical procedures.

Is Mayo offering an ultrasound -free pregnancy ? If not maybe you should encourage an ongoing prospective study, to one day compare subtle disorders, in particular autism, in mothers who do not get routine ultrasound. Just a suggestion, but there is enough heat generated by the beam to disrupt colony formation in cultures of bacteria. Just an idea.

Thank you Ms. Murry for posting this. So many people look at ultrasound as a form of recreation and not the medical procedure it is. Ultrasound technicians should also be very aware the the small amounts of heat that can increase while doing to ultrasound. It's minimal but better to keep things moving and not stay in the same spot for too long.

NO! You are risking your baby's future. When the baby is ready to be born, he or she will be. Induction increases the risk of breathing complications to your baby, and increases the likelihood of you having a surgical birth. The pitocin drip used to induce births has its own risks. A surgical birth increases the risks to both you and your baby. You WILL make it another three weeks, and will know that you've allowed your baby to grow and develop in your own uterus rather than in an incubator.

Our parkdesigner "his highness" Rudi Wyhlidal strolled around the park with his magic camera in his hands to make some magic shots of his magic Swatch Snowpark Sölden! For those who haven't been able going there yet, watch these insane shots and you just want to go there. This park is probably the most beautiful thing you will see this winter!
As always, all the pics stem from the virtuous camera-work of Rudi. He has made some overviews and detailled pictures of the obstacles. And as the pictures show, our crew and bullydriver Andi really know how to shape a perfect snowpark that lets freestyle-hearts jump higher! Looks like made of marble, indeed!
Stop by, Swatch Snowpark Sölden!

When the owner of a property failed to register a right of access, trouble was in store.
The claimant owned a property (number 37) which was separated from the property next door (number 35) by an alleyway. This was owned by the owner of number 35. After the claimant acquired number 37, which was a shop, he redeveloped the upper floor to create two flats.
Number 35 had a wooden staircase going up to the flat above it and this was situated in the alleyway. The owner of number 37 agreed to replace this with a more substantial metal staircase on condition that this could be extended across the alleyway to give access to the upper floor of number 37. This provided the only means of access to the flats at number 37 once the redevelopment was complete.
The owner of number 35 later sold his property. The workmen acting on behalf of the new owner cut the connection across the alleyway, rendering the flats at number 37 inaccessible.
The owner of number 37 claimed that he had a right of way over the staircase and the link between the two buildings. There was no argument that he had a right (under the doctrine of 'estoppel') to an easement over the staircase and the extension to it when number 35 was owned by the previous owner. The question was whether the new owner of number 35 was bound by the previous owner's arrangement.
The first problem was that no right over the staircase had been recorded in the title documents at the Land Registry. The owner of number 37 claimed that he had an 'overriding interest' in the land which bound the new owner of number 35, or that the new owner was bound by a 'constructive trust' which passed with the contract of sale when he purchased number 35.
The arguments on each side were technical and turned on whether the owner of number 37 could show that he had been in 'actual occupation' of the staircase and the link across the alleyway.
The Court of Appeal ruled that the owner of number 37 was not in actual occupation of the staircase and the link and could not therefore require the owner of number 35 to give him access.
Because he had failed to register his right of access to the stairway, the owner of number 37 ended up with a landlocked property.

The goal of neighborhood policing is to encourage increased interaction between residents and police officers so that issues and concerns may be addressed before they become real problems or crimes. Neighborhood policing means stronger relationships and increased trust between residents and the police officers who serve and protect them. In order to better serve the residents of Somerville the City invested in two neighborhood police substations: an East Substation and a West Substation.
The Neighborhood Police Officer Unit consists of one Sergeant and seven police officers. Each of the seven officers are assigned to a specific ward in the City so to have first hand knowledge of the problems within that ward, as well as direct communications with the ward aldermen. These officers are flexible so that they can attend community activities. Neighborhood policing is an innovative way of focusing on the underlying conditions that often are the cause of crime and repeated calls for service. Neighborhood Policing is both a philosophy and an organizational strategy that allows the officers to work with residents to solve problems in the neighborhood.
Residents are urged to contact the neighborhood police officers by phone or email to discuss any concerns or simply to get to know your neighborhood officer.

Has anyone had any hands on with the FSI monitor? The specs are impressive.
Has anyone had any hands on with the FSI monitor? The specs are impressive.
I checked out the Flanders 21" at NAB and was very impressed. I'm needing to replace an aging Panasonic 1710 which has been great. But have been seeing a lot of the FS on sets, they really look good. They also have a nice package of scopes and features. The one downside right now is Hoodman does not make a shade for the 21", although I spoke to them at the show and they said they'd go visit them and see if they can get one made.
so does anyone have any experience with FSI CM-170W? we're just about to buy one and would appreciate any useful info.
21" Flanders Scientific. It's full 1080p, weighs less than Panny 17", and comes in a lazer cut Pelican case that's smaller than Panny's case and can fit in the overhead. The picture quality is outstanding and the price is less. Don't know how they do it. We love ours so much we sold our 17" Pannny right away.
Really impressed with this monitor as well, beautiful image. The only thing I didn't like was how the waveforms move, find the TvLogic have smoother WF's...at the end of the day though the info is there and there and the image is A-mazing. We are looking at picking up a 21' in the next month hopefully.

Police: Tattoo on human flesh found in suburban Detroit sewer inked at least 15 years ago
Sterling Heights police still don't have ID on body parts that were found in sewer
Published On: Aug 22 2012 11:02:27 AM EDT
Investigators say a tattoo on chunks of flesh discovered in a suburban Detroit sewer was inked at least 15 to 20 years ago.
Sterling Heights Police Lt. Luke Riley told Local 4 that the 10 body parts found Aug. 15 by contractors who were clearing debris from a pipe in Sterling Heights belonged to a Caucasian, but they are not sure if it was male or female.
Riley said the tattoo is starting to blur, and it's unclear where it might have appeared on the person's body.
Investigators say they don't believe the parts had been in the sewer very long based on their condition.
Authorities have been going over missing persons reports and making other attempts to identify the victim.

Here we have an average AE82 corolla that was to have been wrecked, but now has been given a new lease on life.
Was bought from a fellow member on here for substantially less than asking price.....
Its got a standard 4age bigport with extractors and 2 inch exhaust, so nothing real special in the performace department, emphasis will be on handling and brakes in the future.
Anyway, after lending the car to a fellow workmate who needed wheels for a while, and slapping on another 12mths rego, i finally got to work making the pig a little more trackable.
As it stands today it probably owes about 2.5k including rego till May 08.
Plans are for a nice and cheap introduction to track days starting early 08.
Parts replaced so far include:
Cv Joints
New front KYB Struts (Existing lowered springs seemed rather new)
New Front Rotors and pads
4 new engine mounts
New set of Ebay 15 x 7 inch wheels using existing tyres (Oringinal rims all buckled ,1 odd)
Set of Signature Sway bars (Rear adjustable)
New 2nd hand rear 2.5 inch muffler
New HT Leads, plugs, filters and Oil
New rocker cover gaskets
4 new brake line hoses
Rebuilt starter motor by me
Replace broken Headlight and cracked Grille
Next are plans to gut the interior,replace drivers seat with a better race orientated seat, install an Oil Pressure guage and add some extra camber to the front and rear via adjustable camber kits and get a decent wheel alignment.
Also on the lookout for some ae111 Corolla twin piston front brakes calipers and rotors to make it stop.
That is all.

I am new to flash and am running flash CS5.5 and I would like to know how I could get a basic video clip to loop in the background. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
HI, I'm trying the same thing... imported an FLV into a movie clip and placed the movie clip in a bottom layer of the main scene.
I had imported it before as "load as external video with playback component" which played fine, but it didn't loop.
Now I'm trying the "Embed FLV and play in timeline" method into the movie clip and I stuck the movie in a layer in the main timeline.
The problem is that it's not playing at all now. I've added the 700 frames to the length of the video in the main timeline, and that's not helping. I've tried adding a gotoAndPlay(1); on the last frame. Not helping.
Any thoughts?
Number of ways to do this.
If you embed the video directly into the main timeline.... there is no need to do anything. The default for Flash is to play the last frame and then loop to the first frame.
Another choice is to use NetStream to play the video.... much more powerful and versatile than the FLVPlayback component.
Then to loop, it's simple:
ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
trace("Video complete")
Good NetStream video tutorial here:
Very bottom of page.
Best wishes,

Being a guitarist involves pushing your boundaries with the instrument. Many players find themselves struggling to develop the physical abilities needed to play like their heroes, and they never settle on a consistent set of exercises because they find themselves drowning in so many different suggestions. In this column, I discuss some essential practice techniques you can work into a simple, short daily routine.
Today, we will continue to work with a scale we covered in my June 2013 column. We will explore that same scale, the Phrygian dominant, in a two-note-per-string sequence. We'll also add a sitar-style bending phrase. The notes of the scale are as follows: E – F - G# - A – B – C – D – E
The following content is related to the September 2013 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
We all know the true measure of an accomplished guitarist is not dependent upon how many scales he or she can blaze through. Instead, it's much more enjoyable to hear a player who has great command and control over just one or two scales. Many of the greats did not possess encyclopedic knowledge of music theory, and it didn't seem to hinder their progress or creativity.
The notion of sweeping (or raking) the pick across the strings to produce a quick succession of notes has been around since the invention of the pick itself. Jazz players from the Fifties would use the approach in their improvisations, and Chet Atkins was known to eschew his signature fingerstyle hybrid-picking technique from time to time and rip out sweep-picked arpeggios.
The grouping of notes is very heavily inspired by Shawn Lane. When I first heard Shawn play, it was so blisteringly fast, it really excited and scared the hell out of me at the same time. I could hear that a lot of his tonality was with the pentatonic scale, but I couldn't understand how anyone could play this scale so fast.

Musical instruments encourage expression within a child and provide a skill which the child will cherish for life. Children picking up musical instruments at a young age are more likely to stick with the instrument into their adulthood, even if that means starting out with a musical toy. Children's musical instruments are becoming more and more like adults'.
One of the great things about music is that it is a universal language. Children from around the world all understand the language of music. Playing musical instruments at a young age will help the child in future learning endeavors. The ability to read and recognize notes will help a child in reading. Whether its musical toys or pianos, musical instruments are a fun way of passing the time.
Music is important for a growing child. Studies have shown that learning music can actually make a child smarter. When your child learns a musical instrument not only do they learn how to make tunes but it also enhances other capabilities of their brain, as well. Learning a musical instrument involves interrupting musical notes and symbols that the brain sees to form melodies. Music-making helps enhance the brain's "hard-wiring" for the ability to transform objects in space and time.
BabyAge offers all different kinds of musical instruments that your child can learn. For the little rocker in your life, get them the Today's Tot Musical Discovery 3 Piece Jr. Drum Set. This set has everything your little one will need to become the world's next best drummer. The Drum Set includes 3 drums, a cymbal, stool and drumsticks.
Or try the Melissa & Doug Grand Piano. This piano will teach your child a wide range of notes and the helpful color-coded key chart will help them learn a musical scale. From Chopin to Chopsticks, your child's confidence will grow with this instrument.
We have a wide variety of musical instruments and toys for you to choose from. Now, sit back and get ready for the show to begin.

I have been working at Amazon.com full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Stock keeps going up :)
Get to learn a lot from team mates.
Great managers (for the most part)
You can take on as much responsibility as you want and grow.
Chance to be part of one of the fastest growing 100Billion company
Cons – on call
job can be stress full at times
a lot of people are workaholics which pushes everyone to work harder and harder
Advice to Senior Management – Get support engineers for all teams. There is no good justification for hiring expensive software engineers and making them do support work. Build better internal tools for SDEs (this is improving quite a bit, but there is a ways to go)
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

One of the best long free climbs of its grade in the country. On a par with The Naked Edge, the Prow, and Astroman. This route should not be missed. If you climb at this level, you will not have lead a full life without experiencing The Cloud Tower! Approach: Same as Crimson Chrysalis. Average approach time about an hour, unless you're an old geezer like me. Cloud Tower begins about 100-130 feet right and downhill of CC, at an obvious chimney that leads to a left facing dihedral. N.B. some pitches are described differently than as suggested by the guides. Aspect: North facing until the last pitch which faces west and soaks up the afternoon sun. The initial pitches can be chilly. P1. Climb the squeeze chimney and up the hand crack in the left facing corner (5.8). Rather than stopping at the ledge (135'), we kept climbing up the corner above for another 100 feet or so (5.8) and stopped on the next obvious ledge. (5.8, 225') P2. Traverse up and way left, past a tree, to the base of a beautiful splitter handcrack, climb it (5.10) and then trend up and left to the base of an awesome right facing, right angling corner. Another rope stretcher. (5.10, 210+') P3. IMO, the crux pitch. Face climb discontinuous cracks up and left past a bolt into the corner, ascend the corner with Eldorado-like face climbing and stemming and then tips laybacking for what seems like an eternity. (5.12-, 115'; Rack: 1.5F, nuts, blue/black aliens, green aliens, 1F, 1.5-2.5F) P4. A long "easy" pitch (120', 5.10) that will be exciting if your rack is short on larger sizes or if your wide flaring crack technique is wanting. (Rack: I am embarrassed to confess having 3 each of 2.5-3.5 F, 2 4Fs and a 4 Camalot and using them all.) P5. The Harding Slot of Red Rocks. The guide describes climbing a scary offwidth to the top of the tower at 5.10+. We climbed a short wide section (5.7) and then tunneled through the tower. The crux was squeezing through a taper for about 3 feet onto the west face. Not recommended for the bulbous or the claustrophobic. Some friends have climbed to the top of the tower as the guide suggests, while others traversed the tower (climbed right from the belay around the tower). No one has expressed great joy at the thought of repeating any of these options. (5.?, 45-50') P6. After emerging from the birth canal, you are suddenly transplanted onto the west face of the tower at the base of a stellar Indian Creekish hand crack. Climb the flaring hand crack through several awkward bulges (5.11), while shedding as much clothing as you can remove. Potential radical temperature difference after the north face experience. Save a 1 camalot and some energy for the final hard moves to the belay. (5.11+, 110', Rack: (2) 1 camalots, (2-3 each) 2.5-3.5Fs) I understand that this brilliant route has been extended but do not yet know further details.
RPs 2-5; wires-WC Rocks (2 each) 1-5, (1 each) 6-7; Aliens: (2) black, (3 each) blue and green, (1) yellow; Friends (1) 1, (2) 1.5, (2) 2, (2) green camalot jrs, (2) 2.5, (2) 1 camalots, (2) gold camalots,(3) 3.5, (2) 4, (1) 4.5. A 70m rope is handy for running pitches together, but you'll need another rope or some ingenuity to complete the first rappel from the top of the route. After that a 70m will work fine for the remainder of the descent.
It's possible to climb the layback and kace climb up the left side of the tower before entering the slot (5.9X). If you belay the last pitch from the top of the tower bring a Big Bro for an anchor.
I think this while excellent is not in a class with super-classics such as Astroman, Epinephrine, Oz (w/ Gram Traverse), Naked Edge, Freeway, or for that matter, its neighbor, Crimson Chrysalis. I found virtually every pitch quite soft for the grade, except for the crux (P4) a desperate thin stemming corner. The last pitch seemed to me about Indian Creek 10+. IMO, the quality of the climb is diminished by the fact that the crux is much more difficult that the rest of the climb.
Chris gave an excellent description of this ultra-classic route that is easily on a par with the Naked Edge in Eldo. I have some additional beta to consider. 1) #00 - #2 TCU's (mostly #0 and #1) also work well to protect the dihedral crux pitch (11d). I wouldn't argue with a 12- rating but it was easier than 29 Palms in J-Tree. 2) As of spring '03, the birth canal at the top of the squeeze chimney has been substantially widened! Someone must have removed a large block. Accessing the ledge at the base of the final west facing and bulging hand crack pitch (11c) no longer requires a svelt physique. The first time I climbed the route I had to remove my harness in order to squeeze on through to the other side. 3) The route has been extended but I haven't had a chance to check it out. I saw at least four bolts protecting overhanging face climbing beyond the anchors on the final pitch.
This is a pretty great route, not to be missed. This is the rack we took:TCU's: 1 Gray (00), 1 Blue, 1 Orange, 1 Red (maybe 1 yellow?)Aliens: 2 Blue, 2 Greens, 2 Yellows, 1 RedCamalots: 1 .5, 2 .75, 2 #1's, 3 #2's, 3 #3's and 1 3.5Plus a set of offset nuts (useful!) and runners/draws. I can see adding a 4, but a 4.5 seems pretty excessive, as the place you would place it has big incuts everywhere surrounding the crack. I would say you def. want 3 #3's, thou As for being on par with all these other super classics, thats a matter of opinion, but I would say comparing this climb with the edge and astroman is a streeeetch. As for the super-gnarly offwidth birth canal maddness, see similiar comments above, I am not going to give it away, but some modifications have been made, and that thing is sure as shit not as bad as it used to be. Think crawling...At most, that pitch is not a 5.9 s pitch, with the 5.9 being the face climbing before you get to mandatory chimmney/off-width. The crux pitch is hard. 11+, 12-, you be the judge. Even KACKALACKI, uber-thin fingers man whipped on it. Great route, not to be missed.
Someone should definitely post a picture of this
P7: After the long hand crack, continue up past 5 bolts on white, lower quality rock to a two bolt belay. The crux is a sequence of tips in pin scars, checking in at 5.12d. P8: Easily linked with the previous pitch. Head straight up the really nice offwidth crack if there is such a thing. The first third can be protected with hand size cams, and the end can be protected with those extra 3 and 3.5 Camalots, but the meat of it will either require boldness or a 5 Camalot size piece. 5.10 OW. P9: A short, wandering romp to the summit.
Combine pitch 1 & 2 as described by Chris. The obvious hand crack to the L of the tree felt like 5.8. The crux dihedral pitch requires some stemming trickery and use of holds on the L wall - bring extra blue aliens and save a 2.5F for the last 20 feet. The next 2 pitches can also be combined in 1 long pitch - the slot has no similarity to the Harding Slot - its pretty tame now. The final crack takes alot of 3-3.5 F sizes and 2 or 3 #1 Camalots. Excellent route. Could use a rap route to the R of the route instead of rope jams on the last rap or rapping over parties on C.C.
Rad route.......crux pitch was hard! Get your stem on........definately have some blue and green aliens ready. Might want to have some fist size gear if you want to protect the splitter 4th pitch. Cheers. Rap the face rappel route or be prepared for heinous bushwack-rapping and rope eating cracks.
What a route! I can't say for sure how hard that crux pitch was, cause my partner aided it, so I hung a lot to clean the gear, but it felt very strenuous. I felt that the 4th pitch required many #3 and #3.5 or #4 camalots. I wished I would have had maybe 2 #3s, 3 #3.5 and 3 #4s, but then again my trad onsight leading limit is 5.10+, so this was pretty close to my limit. Depending on how comfortable the person leading this pitch is, they may need fewer cams. It's about 90 feet of the same fist or bigger size. Super fun. The 5th pitch felt no harder than the tunnel on tunnel vision to me, which I believe they give 5.3X, but we didn't go to the top of the tower, we just tunneled behind it (and I'm pretty small). Edit: After thinking about it, I think that crux pitch is definatly 12a.
great route!!! crux pitch is phenomenal, as well as the two that follow. i believed everyone had its unique points and was almost equal in quality. no hesitation on my part to give this route the full 4 stars. as for the crux pitch, its really not all that bad. its stemming and face climbing to stances. good stems, then locker fingers. i would be hesitant to give this pitch 12a. none the less, great pitch.
One full set of Black Diamond C3s protect the crux dihedral very well. You can even whip onto them. I did. Our rack: C3s: Purple, Green, Red, Yellow C4s: (1) Blue .3 + (2) Gray .4 + (2) Purple .5 + (2) Green .75 + (3) Red 1 + (3) Yellow 2 + (3) Blue 3 + (1) Gray 4 + (1) Purple 5 No nuts required. The Extension: The crux 5.12+ pitch is horribly rotten and not worth free climbing. Aid at C1. The next pitch, which should not be combined with the previous pitch, involves moderately difficult squeeze chimney climbing with a slight chance of decking.
Best route I have ever done at the red rocks or otherwise.
Are TCU�s or Aliens required for this climb? Also are all the belays bolted or do some require gear?
Great climb, though can be very cold until the last pitch. Also, I think I may have lost my wedding ring somewhere at the base -- if anyone's headed out, please take a look. Thanks!
This is a fun climb but no 5.12- imho. Maybe in Vegas, 11+ anywhere else.
alien are definitely useful, as well as TCU's. Anything small will do though. If it's hot, and you're no good at pure crack climbing, then the final pitch is going to be the crux, it is in the sun when you get there unless you're super fast and have an early start. Every pitch is awesome, but the crux pitch and the one after it stand out.
Super Classic! Every single pitch is great, with varied climbing that follows an aesthetic and unique line. Pitches 3, 4, and 6 stand out in my mind - but all the pitches are great. Certainly not to be missed! Pitch 4 and 5 (as described above) can be linked with a 60m rope if you take the chimney option through the "birth canal" - which seems to be the obvious choice.
I carried doubles of small sizes on this route from purple tcu to .4 camalot with a 00 tcu as well. The small sizes are nice for the crux corner. The final dihedral pitch seemed to be pretty soft for the grade while p3 seemed to warrant 5.12-
classic! if climbing with 60 meter ropes, consider dividing up the opening pitches as follows: 1) climb the squeeze chimney and up the hand crack in the left facing corner (5.8). belay at the ledge at a tree tied with several slings(130'). 2) continue up the corner above for another 70 feet (5.8). pass a tree with rap anchors on your right, and continue up about 30 feet on easy terrain. traverse up and left 20' past a tree to the base of a beautiful thin hands crack. belay at the ledge found here (130'). continue on the handcrack described in P2 in the OP. if belaying at the base of the crack, this pitch will be 140'. we found that the following gear works well: 1 full set of nuts triples of black, blue, and green aliens doubles of yellow, grey, red, and gold aliens doubles of camalot .75 triples of camalots 1 & 2 five camalot 3 three camalot 4 note that this rack assumes that you tunnel through the chimney on pitch 5 (as described in the OP) instead of climbing the wide flaring offwidth.
Is it possible to rap off with just one 70m rope? What if you skip the last pitch?
We rapped with double sixties and the first rappel was a stretch. Not doing the last pitch would be like doing the Salathe to the headwall roof and then rapping off. The climbing is great to that point, but why do all the work to get there and then skip the money pitch?
Linked first two pitches and onsighted the 10a splitter. Fell following the 11d, beautiful crux though. Didn't follow the last pitch, 11c, it was really burly and wide for me. My boyfriend linked the 10c and 10a offwidth pitches, they were super cool too. Great climb, I definitly was cold in the shade in mid-march on this route.
This Route could use some SERIOUS ASCA love. Also 2 ropes are needed for more than just the first rappel...a single 70M will NOT reach on 2 more of the raps. josh
This is a great route, climbed it when I was 17 and 135lbs with little stick fingers and again at 26 same height 165lbs with sausage fingers. I hope to climb it every few years until my old ass won't make it out there anymore.
This was one of the best climbs I've done. Every pitch was high quality. The crux on pitch is definitely hard, but well protected (green C3's, bring 2 if you have them) and also had some good stances to rest. Some guides say the 6th pitch is scary offwidth to the top of the small tower, but it makes a lot more sense to tunnel through and start the last pitch on the big ledge on the west side, and it is only 5.7. Don't be scared by it. The last pitch is quality!!! Very long.
Wondering why peeps just don't go to the top? Like Levitation, you can go up 2 more pitches! The pitch above the "last" of Cloud Tower is a safely bolted banged out corner that has a short (relatively) crux section! Rather than rapping in the middle of the wall! Book gives it a 12d rating (which I wouldn't doubt). I personally enjoy a summit view. Rap Crimson!
well pG, Getting up .11+ is a good deal different than getting up .12+ for one. Also, have you ever rapped Crimson? Maybe it would be a better statement to ask why Crimson Chrysalizers don't rap Cloud Tower.
Climbed this route back to back with several routes in Zion. The routes are far better and provide a much greater experience. Stellar climb for Red Rocks, but only a good climb in comparison to the greater US. If the crux only gets 11d than the rest of the route gets: 5.7, 5.9, 11d, 10-, 10.
Definitely link P1 & P2 to a good ledge with a tree. P3 is a super fun splitter (5.10-). P4 protects well and is cool stemming and liebacks with face holds mixed in (5.11+). The tunnel through was no big deal for an average sized guy like me (5.7). Description calls the final corner 110', I remember it being more like 150' (5.11). Great route!
Great route! Mostly a ton of 5.10 splitter climbing. Here are a few notes from our day out: The P1+P2 link up goes down well using a 60, with just a hair of easy simuling to get to the fixed slings at the beginning of the ledge system. For the crux (P4) I found a double set of tiny to small cams gets the job done i.e. doubles of green, purples, red and yellow C3s or similar. Larger than that, having a set of cams from .4-#2 camalot is sufficient on that pitch also. This pitch is way harder that anything else on the route, but can readily be hang dogged/french freed if need be. Clean falls on good, but small gear. I placed the singular nut we used on the whole route on the pitch- a mid sized nut on the traverse into the corner. RP's aren't necessary. There are fixed anchors on top of P1, P2, P3 and P4 but not P5. The first two are slings around natural anchors the 3rd and the 4th are bolts. P6 has a slung block you can rap from, but belaying off of it wouldn't work out too well. On another note, the raps are pretty annoying and a touch confusing, especially since there aren't rap lengths in Handren's book. We burned a lot of time going back and forth from a two rope to a one rope system. Here is what I would try next time: 1st rappel- double rope rappel to the mid-size tree, skipping the large sloping ledge with the fixed bolt anchor 2nd rappel- double rope rappel to the scraggly tree towards top of the gully 3rd rappel- approximately 200' double rope rappel straight down the clean face below to the huge ledge system 4th rappel- walk across the ledge to the top of P2 and do a single rope rappel to the slung block. 5th rappel- double rope (or single with a 70m) rappel to the ground Note: You could likely link the last two raps with two 60m ropes with stretch, but based upon the nature of the crack, you would have a healthy chance of getting your rope severely stuck in the crack. The two cut ropes deep in the crack seem to be pretty good testament to this.
Stupendous climb! The best part about this climb is the belay ledges. No hanging belays! Linking 1-2 saves time and is easy to do with a 70m, though the halfway belay isn't bad to stop at. The top of pitch 2 is a humungous ledge. My wife was a bit startled up pitch 3 when there was a 5.8 face traverse sans pro for a good 15 feet, but its easy. The crux corner actually has 2 old 1/4" bolts on it that aren't encouraging or necessary but what the heck, clip them anyway. The corner itself was harder than I expected, green-red c3 size most of the way. Only one good bolt for a anchor at the top of this one. Pitch 5 was my favorite, a gorgeous splitter crack. Triples #3 camalot with 2 #4 camalots was just enough. Don't get too scared when the crack widens to #6 camalot size, there is a finger crack in the back for good pro. Then tunnel pitch is easy, a couple chimney moves and you're clear. The last pitch is a doozie. Use your triple #1-#3 camalots wisely, backcleaning when possible. There are a bunch of awkward bulges with no feet that make this one hard. If this were in IC you would bring 5 of each size and place all of them no problem. The top of this pitch has about 5 bolts of varying quality on a crappy ledge. We toproped it with one 70m. Rainbowweinstock's comments about the rappels were spot on, my only clarification is on the 2nd rappel from the big tree, put the rope to the rappelers right of the huge block, rapelling back towards the climb. The rappels were some of the easiest I've done in Red Rocks, easy pulls with nothing to get caught on on big ledges. 5 star route.
Unless Spencer's ascent has happened since bolts sprouted left and right on the route and disappeared in other spots, the bolt counts he describes do not exist. There is one untrustworty bolt (the only pro bolt on the climb) at the start of the thin corner pitch, then two good bolts above-easy to rap from here, if you feel like missing the stellar upper handcrack pitches. The final belay (as installed by PVB etc back in the day) has three bolts by my memory, not five, and the "extension" pitches (chipped crap, thanks so much for that, johnny-come-lately sport climbers) above have pro bolts and bolted anchors, but nothing approaching five bolts at a stance. Sounds like math/memory issues to me. Otherwise sounds right on, glad you enjoyed the route.
Regarding bolt replacement:
The rap route bolts are in good condition- as there is only one set of bolts on the rap route. These bolts are found on the first rappel from the top of the 11c pitch. The rest of the rappels are off of trees which could use some new slings/cord.
Post deleted because I was being a heinous cunt. What I should have said was: Thanks for the bolt count update. I'll contact the FA party and see what they have to say on how they'd like the replacement effort to be handled. Thanks to all ASCA re-bolters for their efforts.
Could you rap the route with a single 80M?
Some differing opinions have been circulating on what should be done regarding bolt replacement on Cloud Tower. I sat down and had beer with Paul and Richard (Nick had to work+couldn't make it) as well as Shirtless and here's what I got: 1: Paul can outdrink me. 2: Richard Harrison will never stop being a straight-up badass. Fact. 3: (this is kinda the important part): NONE OF THE BOLTS CLIPPED BY MODERN CLIMBERS WAS PLACED BY PAUL VAN B, RICHARD H, OR NICK N. The original attempts made on the line were by none other than Randall Grandstaff, protege of Joe Herbst (who also placed bolts next to cracks back before adequate clean pro existed) along with Paul Crawford of Tahoe fame. They pushed the route above the first .11 pitch, but did not send. Pro bolts and bail/belay anchors were placed PRIOR to the send by the FA party. All of the bolts at the final station on the original free route (ends just above the Creek splitter) are full-on retrobolts, placed after several/maybe many ascents had been ticked. The FA party has the understanding that some of the changes that occured on the route since the early days were at the behest of McQuade, who chipped the first extension pitch, and also pried out the flexy flake that was the meat of the P7 anchor (RPs placed by PVB after projectile vomiting from the stress of onsighting the final pitch at the end of a long day) as well as the large blocks that forced early parties to offwidth to the top of the tower rather than tunnel through. There are a lot of good stories about this route around, but here are a couple of good facts worth sharing: The FA party rated the route 11 b/c and still believe it to be so. Paul and Richard understand that ASCA protocol and individual bolt preferences are pushing people to want to alter their route, and have the following solution: the anchors should be reduced to 2 good stainless bolts at all stations and set up for raps. Both pro bolts have been requested by 2/3 majority of the first ascent party (again, Nick couldn't make it and we've been playing phone tag) to be LEFT THE FUCK ALONE. The consensus is that since there are good gear placements nearby, just leave the old Grandstaff/Crawford bolts alone. New bolts are not necessary to protect the climb, and chopping them smacks of the same type of "this route's now kinda MY route" flavor that McQuade put out there. The first ascentionists want the old pro bolts on P4 left alone. Period. For historical flavor, for respect for the dead, for just not making the route the scene of some stupid controversy. Hope that settles things, it was a pleasure hanging with those guys as always and with the utmost respect for all of their contributions to putting up routes in Red Rock in the very best style request that anyone planning on carrying out bolt replacement work abide by their wishes. -K
Thanks for the history Killis. This does raise a question though, you wrote: "The first ascentionists want the old pro bolts on P4 left alone. Period" As you related it, PVB/RH/NN weren't the FA of that pitch. So in a sense, they did something similar to McQuade (minus the chipping), they extended the route by adding pitches. Their ending point is kind of in the middle of nowhere, understandable because the rock quality deteriorates signficantly, but nevertheless they didn't end at a "logical" place like the top of a tower, big ledge, etc. So if your concern is the wishes of the FA-ists, seems to me you should be talking with the people who established that pitch, i.e. Crawford.
It's not Crawford's route, Will, so that doesn't click. He+Randy tried it and didn't get it. Also, comparing a ground-up send of a ground-up project to anything even remotely related to a chipped, rap-bolted "extension" isn't making much sense. I can call Crawford anytime, but to ask him about this? The guys that freed the thing in good style have spoken. I guess you think I need McQuade's permission to replace the anchors he retrobolted on, too? I'm not sure this post or the last one add much of value to the collective consciousness. Now, Unconsciousness.... Drink your Robitussin and go to sleep, America. Somewhere, the bolt fairy is plucking ringtail teeth from a crack and turning them into stainless hangers.
Few notes for the masses. 1) A 60m line works well to link the first two pitches and the fist crack/tunnel pitch. This lets you casually do the route in 5 pitches. Note: The final pitch goes into the sun around 1pm, so get up early and move quickly to avoid baking on it! 2) Rack. Lots of opinions. If i had to do it again, I'd take doubles from tiny to .75 Camalot, with a triple purple metolius. I'd also triple up on #1 and #2 camalots. Toss-up between four #3 Camalots or 3 of them plus a 3.5 Camalot. Two #4 camalots. This makes every pitch pretty casual. You can take some stoppers, but you dont really need them. 3) Hauling. Take a small pack and haul it up the crux pitch with all the big gear rather than have the second climb with it. This allows everyone to climb light. On the last pitch, if you're rappelling, lower the pack with the excess gear on the tag line to the ledge below and pick it up later. Easy and again, everyone gets to climb light. 4) Bolts. This climb NEEDS one new anchor bolt at the last station and have the rest of that crap cleaned up. Optionally, you could fix the station at the top of the crux with one bolt and chop the two 1/4"ers that are currently there. You can back that station up. 5) Rappels. Following Handren and Rainbow's beta, the following worked REALLY well for us, and I'd recommend it. 1st Rappel: From last anchor to the tree about 30' below the big ledge- 200' rappel. 2nd Rappel: From Tree to tree at base of sheer wall below (skip the chockstone station)- 150' rappel. 3rd Rappel: From tree to Tree on ledge. 95' rappel, one rope. 4th Rappel: From Tree on ledge to top of 2nd 5.8 pitch, 90' rappel, one rope. 5th Rappel: From top of 2nd 5.8 pitch to top of 1st 5.8 pitch, 50' one rope. 6th Rappel: From top of 1st 5.8 pitch to ground, 150' two ropes. The reason I broke up those rappels rather than link them is due to the terrain- its a gnarly rope eating maze up there- better to break it up- this is especially true on the final two rappels- your rope WILL get stuck if you try to link them! Also, walk WAY uphill past a biggish tree to pull from the ground, lest your rope joins the others about 50' up. Good luck, have fun- this thing is GREAT. So much fun, and a great challenge if you're getting into the grade!
Climbed this yesterday and was extremely impressed... Amazing route for sure, quite humbling as well. Reference the rack, we followed John's post above and it was perfect. We took 70's with us and followed the link-up beta as well and had room to spare. We also followed John's Rappel beta. A little care should be taken on the 2nd Rappel when pulling as we found it rather easy to get the rope stuck on the small tower above you after you pull. On a final note, we got a #1 C4 stuck at the top of the final pitch. We tried forever to get that puppy out but it wasn't budging. I know this is a long shot, but... If anyone is feeling chivalrous and feels like getting it out and returning it, I'll throw $20 and some delicious homebrew at you for your efforts! (You can't blame a guy for trying!) All in all, fantastic route that is not to be missed.
Jared: I climbed this Yesterday 11/22/13 and saw you red c4. It's pretty stuck. I tried a bit but it was getting really late and just left it there. It's going to take some elbow grease and a lot of persistence to get that one out... On a side note. I did the same thing and left a blue c4 on the roof on pitch 5 (with my stuck carabiner). Same thing what jared said...doesn't hurt to ask, but I'll trade you back some $$ and beer for it. -Jan
I highly recommend following John Wilder's rap beta. We attempted to link the last two raps (top of pitch two to the ground) and made it down safely BUT did get out rope stuck. Took us 2 hours combined trying to pull it down. My partner ended up hooking himself back on one strand while i gave him a firemans belay and he had to climb all the wayback up to top of pitch two. sooooooo RAP from top of pitch two to top of pitch one then to the ground. Don't combined. There are a lot of stuck ropes in a crack on the way down.

Multichannel News and Broadcasting & Cable hosted "Advanced Advertising" on Dec. 10 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York. (Photos by Mark Reinertson)
UFC's King of the Ring
UFC president Dana White has over the past 11 years built the Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts franchise into the fastest-growing sport in America. White last Monday spoke with Multichannel News programming editor R. Thomas Umstead at a CTAM Summit breakfast session about the UFC's success, its recent Fox Sports television deal and its desire to diversify its audience.
Multichannel News: Did you ever believe when you took over the UFC in 2001 that you would move the sport to where it is now?
Dana White: Well, I believed it had the potential to do it. You don't know if everything is going to line up and work out the way you planned, but we thought it had the potential. When you think about it, this was basically our philosophy when we bought the business. The concept of taking two men, putting them in an octagon, and telling them they can use any martial art they want transcends all cultural barriers and all language barriers. It doesn't matter what color you are, what country you come from or language you speak, we're all human beings and fighting is in our DNA. We get it and we like it. It doesn't have to be explained to us.
MCN: What were the marketing tactics you used to build the UFC?
DW: When we first started this thing, it was basically like any band or anybody who starts from scratch. We were literally traveling around the country in vans and flying. We would fly to one city and then go from city to city in vans, and we would go out and do PR and just promote. The thing was that this really spoke to 18-to-34-year-old males. Boxing was in a decline at the time and you couldn't make the fights that you wanted to see. The thing about the UFC is in three to five rounds, you can kick, punch, elbow, knees, slam and go to the ground. There is no jabbing for 12 rounds and guys holding onto each other. And our content is perfect for all the different platforms.
When you think about streaming on your phone, are you really going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean on your phone? No. But you can watch UFC fights and the best knockouts of the day and a lot of clips and our stuff . So I think that's how we really built the sport.
MCN: You now have a seven-year, $700 million Fox Sports TV deal that puts UFC content on FX, Fox Deportes and Fuel. Is pay-per-view — which is where UFC fights were first aired — still a major part of this business?
DW: Yeah. People always ask me about that. We are a PPV business. That's what we are. We look at ourselves as a PPV company. The reason that we went after television and wanted to be on free TV is to build PPV and build the sport. Obviously you reach a lot more people on Fox than you do just on PPV, so it's a way to build stars.
MCN: Are you satisfied so far with the performances that you've seen on the Fox networks in terms of the ratings?
DW: Well, I've got to be honest. I was a little cocky in the beginning and thought it was going to be a slam dunk. Nothing is that easy; everything is hard, you have to work at it. Our relationship with Fox has been fantastic, but there's definitely some tweaks to be made and we have worked on that over the last couple of months. We've been in this deal with these guys for like seven months, going on eight months. So, yeah, we've definitely had some kinks but we're working on it.
MCN: Whom do you consider competition for the UFC?
DW: We consider competition anything that takes the attention of 18-to-34-year-old males.
MCN: Within that 18-to-34 audience, are you as diverse as you want to be?
DW: No, we're not. We're not even close. Right now, Hispanics are what's keeping boxing alive. [HBO] just did a pay-per-view show last month and they killed it. Hispanics will spend that money on Hispanic stars and, believe me, I am scouring South America right now looking for the next guy. Obviously, we want to reach everybody; we want to pull in as many people as we can, not only to make fans but viewers for pay-perview and for our television programs.

Elder Scrolls Online – "It's all about player choice"
A look at the character progression systems in the upcoming Elder Scrolls MMO
by Jayden Perry
I have been excited for The Elder Scrolls Online since the day it was announced. An MMO set in the complete Elder Scrolls world sounds incredible, and we've been slowly drip fed information ever since, with each new piece of footage looking better and better. Now Zenimax Online has given us an in-depth look at the character progression systems inside Elder Scrolls Online in a brand new video.
Upon beginning the game you choose a race and a class, setting up the character's build. The race choice allows a set of exclusive abilities, and the class unlocks three unique skill lines to the class. All characters can access basic skills, such as the weapon and armor skills. More skills can be found in-game by joining guilds, making the choice to be a vampire or werewolf and many more.
