This Cake Or That Cake? What Do You Think?
Decorating By Sherri2012 Updated 28 Oct 2012 , 8:17am by Godot
I have such a great opportunity to get my card out to people, and to get them to sign a petition in WI for passing a Cottage Food law. I am supplying cakes to a local political party's headquarters big election night party. I am trying to think of the best cake to make, and need some help! The two ideas I have are,1.) to just make it red white and blue, with some buntings going around one tier, a donkey or elephant going around another tier, stars, and strips, then gum paste figurines of the candidates on top. That is idea 1.
Idea 2, is to make a prosperous city cake, with buildings with, "now hiring" signs on the windows, and red white and blue decorations adorning the buildings, then a sunshine and the candidates standing on top. To give the image of, "gray skies are gonna clear up." Or, "sunny days ahead"
Is it better to just stick with red white and blue, or ok to get a little creative? I want to make the best favorable lasting impression.
If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears! Thanks.
Get creative.
I like idea #2. It has a feel of brighter days ahead. But if the candidate loses it might not be right. You know like "Yeah, brighter days ahead because you lost" maybe not appropriate.
Maybe you should keep it simple, Idea #1 sounds good too.
This is a hard call, I like #2, but if they lose then #1. Not sure you can know that in advance.
Good Luck sounds like a great cake either way. I would stay simple, then it's appropriate for either outcome.
Maybe I could make the "now hiring" signs removable? That way if they lose, it's just a city scene? I see what you are saying. hmmmm.
Yeah, I think that might work. I like Idea #2, if you tinker with it and make it awesome for either a win or lose. You don't want it to be way out of place for a lose. But I bet they all anticipate winning and order cakes in advance. So yeah go with #2 with a few tweaks for just in case. You want them to love it and enjoy it either way. You'd hate for them to look at it and feel bummed out if they lose.
Good luck. You'll do a great job. Your ideas are great.
Take Care
Yeah. Thanks for the advice. - Now to get started. hehe
Does he have slogan or something his campaign is running on?
I'm not sure. I'm sure he does. It's for the presidential race. I don't want to say which party because don't want any negative comments. hehe

UPDATE: Chris Brown to remove himself from Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards consideration, spokesman says
UPDATE: A spokesman for Chris Brown said Wednesday that the singer is removing himself from consideration for any Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. The statement from the spokeman says: "Chris very much appreciates the support of his fans and the honor they have paid him in the way of nominations for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding the incident last month has shifted the focus from the music to whether he should be allowed to be among those nominated. While Chris would like to speak to his fans directly about this and other issues, pending legal proceedings preclude his doing so at this time. Once the matter before him has been resolved, he intends to do so."
UPDATE: A group of moms who want Nickelodeon to remove Chris Brown and Rihanna from the Kids' Choice Awards ballots have started an online petition to get the hip hop artists off the kid- and tween-friendly network's poll. So far, about 3,000 people have signed the petition. But Nickelodeon, which will air the award show March 28, says the ballot will stand: "The kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category," Nick said in a statement Tuesday. Meanwhile, it appears the Rihanna and Brown are recording together.
Although he was just arraigned on two felony charges involving his alleged run-in with (then/now) girlfriend Rihanna, a post on a My Space page that is said to be from singer Chris Brown asks fans to vote for him in the categories of Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song in the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards 2009.
Brown won the singer category last year. And this year, he is actually up against Rihanna in the fave song category. But these nominations were made just days before the February altercation and before we all got a chance to check out the affidavit of what Brown allegedly did to Rihanna.
I'm all for innocent until proven guilty, and Brown has apologized for what happened. Still, just because you have talent, doesn't mean you're a role model. And Mommas, if those allegations are true, the last thing you want your kids to do is vote for Chris Brown. But you know some of them will.
You might think Nick executives would be worried about what might happen if Brown wins and gets up to give an acceptance speech. But in a contest where teen mom Jamie Lynn Spears' Zoey 101 is nominated for Best TV Show and the ex-burlesque group Pussycat Dolls are up for Best Music Group, maybe the folks at Nickelodeon don't really care about role models.

No. 8498--July 9, 1878.
GRANT OF LETTERS,--NOMINEE OF NON-RESIDENT WIDOW entitled to letters in preference to the Public Administrator.
Under section 1365, C. C. P., the nominee of the widow, being himself competent, is entitled to letters in preference to the Public
administrator, notwithstanding that such widow is a non-resident and therefore herself incompetent to administer.
The law at the date of hearing the application governs, not that in force at the date of filing.
Construing sections, C. C. P., 1365, 1369; affirmed, Sup. Court, Feb. 27, 1880.
R. H. Lloyd, for Public Administrator.
E. J. & J. H. Moore, for nominee of widow.
Henry B. Cotter died intestate at
The widow declined to administer in person, but nominated in writing Thomas Crane as administrator, who filed his petition for letters.
The Public Administrator also petitioned.
On the hearing of the two petitions, the Public Administrator claimed that by reason of her non-residence, under a modification of the Code of Civil Procedure, made between the filing of the petition and the hearing, (C. C. P., Sec. 1365-69,) the widow was rendered incompetent to administer herself by reason of her non-residence; and that she was thereby incompetent to nominate.
The nominee of the widow claimed that the right to administer was vested at the date of the application, and could not be affected by any change in the law in that respect.
The Court held that the law at the time of hearing was the rule to be followed;
But it further held that Section 1365 designating the order of persons to take letters and making the first class, "The husband or wife or some competent person whom he or she may request to have appointed," gave such nominee of the widow precedence over all other classes; and that the competency or incompetency of the widow by reason of her non-residence was not material, provided her nominee was competent in that particular.
The petition of the Public Administrator was therefore denied and letters directed to issue to the nominee of the widow.

SJU Launches National Day of Service
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Saint Joseph's launched a new tradtion this May with the establishment of the National Day of Service. Sponsored by the National Alumni Board and co-chaired by Dan Gallagher '94 (B.S.) '99 (M.S.) and Pat McGrory '99 (B.S.), the inaugural event gathered nearly 100 alumni and friends to perform service projects in their local communities.
The project kicked off on May 17 with teams working at four locations: the Philadelphia team cleaned Bodine High School; the Chicago team served at St. Leo Campus for Veterans; and the Washington, D.C., teams assisted at SHARE Food Network in Hyattsville, Md., and the Arlington (Va.) Food Assistance Center.
"The SJU National Day of Service builds upon student projects like Hand-in-Hand and Project Appalachia, but establishes a new tradition where alumni, faculty and students serve together in their local communities," related Gallagher. "It was a powerful testament to our Jesuit heritage to see four decades of SJU alumni gather in Philadelphia at Bodine High School, knowing that four other cities were having the same experience and making a positive impact."
Alumni service events continue on May 31, when the New York City team prepares, serves and cleans up after lunch at the Bowery Mission, located on Manhattan's Lower East side. On June 7, the Boston team will take part in the City Serve-a-thon.

During the third visit when we completed one chapter, Penny suddenly kissed me in celebrating this milestone. It was a short peck but it did kindle a desire between us. I took her face in hand and gave a long kiss that was not resisted at all. I did not realize that Penny's sister was watching us. She smiled and said, "It is nice to see two lovers kissing. I miss my own dating days." She excused herself to go and make tea for us. This encouraged me further and I again kissed Penny and pulled her to my lap. I put my hand inside her tank top to play with her breasts. She was not wearing a bra and I had noticed this when she bent down to pick up something from the floor. I started to caress her smooth medium size breasts one by one. I held her nipples between my thumb and forefinger and gave them slight pinching pressure. This caused her to sigh deeply. She started to again kiss me on my neck and below the earlobe. I increased the pressure on her nipples that resulted in a light as she kept her eyes closed. I kissed her on lips, eyes, cheek and the entire face indicating my deep desire to make love to her. I did not care to stop even when Penny's sister returned with tea and snacks for the three of us.
Suddenly Penny's sister remarked, "It is unfair for the two of you to have so much fun without caring about me." I responded by inviting her to join in the fun and pulled her to us by holding her around her waist. She did not struggle and put her hands on my face and kissed me deeply. As we disengaged she remarked, "This is my first kiss in over one year. I think Penny would not mind to share you as my date for the day. After all we are sisters." I smiled at her but did not say anything but Penny jumped up from my lap pulled me up with her and put my hands around her sister. I needed no further signal and hugged her sister and kissed her everywhere on her face repeatedly. It is obvious that these kisses had rekindled the sexual desire in her. She responded by tongue kissing me. All this time Penny was embracing me from behind and also extended her hand to unzip my pant and started to play with my cock that was already in a state of very high excitement although had only half extended so far due to it being confined within my pants.
Simultaneously she had lifted the skirt of her sister so that as my cock attained full extension she could press its tip to the pussy of her sister through the thin panty.
Things moved so fast after this as our natural instincts took charge. I pulled her panties down without stopping my kisses even for a moment. I then lifted one of her leg up to balance it on the chair and thus got an access to her pussy for my hungry cock. I pushed her back to the table next to the chair making her bum to partially rest on it. This enabled me to pull both of her legs around me. Penny had already pulled down my pants and underwear and was continuing to play with my cock while kissing me under the ear thus making it impossible for me to restrain myself any further from fucking her sister. As I entered her Penny's sister cried out part in pain because of the large gap since she had last had her sex and also as the entrance to her cunt was not fully lubricated and partly due to the pleasure it was giving her. I commenced the in out motion and kissed her lips. I pulled open her top and moved my one hand to caress her boobs that were bigger than Penny but still firm and smooth.
I pressed her nipples a number of times. She responded with equal eagerness and was pushing her bum to meet my thrusts. I could feel that the yearlong suppressed sexual desire had opened up in her with such a vigor that I had to pump in my cock in her cunt with almost hurting force to satisfy her desire to be fucked. She seemed to have orgasm a couple of times but did not stop her own thrust until I reached my zenith and cried that I cannot hold any longer. She virtually shouted, "Don't stop. Keep fucking and fill me with your cum". We were oblivious of the presence of Penny during this period and I gave a few final thrusts and ejaculated with full force to fill her deep cunt with hot cum. Penny now pulled my face towards her and kissed my lips as if she was thanking me for the relief I had given her sister.
We sat down in the state as we were and had snacks and tea even though it had become cold without our realizing it as our minds were still occupied with what had just happened. It was a funny gathering. Penny's sister was naked, I was naked below the waist and only the top of Penny was open. Penny's sister then got up and came to Penny and pulled her top and skirt. Penny was wearing a pink panty. She then took off my shirt and pulled away my pants and underwear that were gathered around my ankle. She got down on her knees in front of me and started to suck the few drops of cum from my slightly limp cock. This attention as well as the first look at almost naked Penny had the desired effect on my cock. I pulled Penny near us and started to kiss her with lot of passion. Penny's sister got up to hold Penny from behind as I bent down to kiss Penny's pussy from top of her panties. I slowly pulled her pink panties down continuing my kisses from top gradually down to her now uncovered pussy. I then started to kiss her cunt after spending a minute to see it minutely as if to copy it in my mind. She responded by extending her both hands to hold my head pressed to her pussy. In the mean while Penny's sister pressed her body to Penny from behind and started to play with her naked breasts and nipple. All this made Penny reach an orgasm.
As she jerked and became tense, I got up and picking her up in my arms I laid her down on the nearby carpet. Once she regained her breath I asked her whether she was still a virgin. To which the reply came from Penny's sister that her husband had deflowered her when he was drunk. She ensured that he did not touch her again. I kissed Penny all over her body and finally sat down between her legs and put the tip of my already extended and hard cock at the entrance of her pussy that was already lubricated by the orgasm that she had just achieved. She smiled and I assured her that I would be very careful and not hurt her. I then commenced to fuck her and satisfy what I, and probably she also, dreamed about all throughout our close interaction during the project work. It was a slow loving fuck. Every stroke was a deep thrust in slow motion. The tempo was increased gradually until Penny shouted out, "faster, faster" as she was getting near to another orgasm. Penny's sister was kissing her nipples and simultaneously fingering herself indicating that she needed to be fucked more. We all reached almost together to our orgasm, although I pulled out my cock to spread the cum on Penny's stomach and public hair as I was not sure of her protection. However Penny's sister pulled the cock in her mouth and sucked away the rest of my cum.
After some rest we showered, we had our dinner. We sat together on a sofa in the drawing room to enjoy a movie on the DVD player. The movie had quite a few scenes of lesbian love. I had seen Penny's sister sucking Penny's nipples while I was fucking her. I also observed that Penny was also playing with her elder sister's boobs while we were having sex. This encouraged me to ask Penny's sister to give an exhibition of lesbian love in person with her younger sister. While she showed some surprise it did not indicate shock. Penny on the other hand smiled to hear my suggestion. I prevailed upon them to agree for my 'viewing pleasure'. We retired to the bedroom. I occupied a chair next to the bed. While Penny was wearing a top and jeans, her sister was only having a housecoat on. She took the initiative and pulled up the top from her sister to uncover her breasts, as she was not wearing anything underneath. She then started to kiss her on lips. Penny willingly surrendered and then pulled away her sister's gown to make her naked, as she was not wearing anything underneath. The look of naked elder sister and topless Penny had the desired effect on my cock. I started to play with it from top of my boxers. The elder sister started to kiss Penny's breasts all around and also hold her nipples one by one in her mouth. This made Penny to shiver and press her sister's face on to her breasts with one hand and play with her sister's breasts with the other. The elder sister pushed Penny on to the bed and pulled down her jeans. Here again Penny was not wearing anything underneath and gave a glorious view of her pussy. The elder sister now started to kiss Penny all over moving slowly to her stomach, navel, public hair and finally her cunt. Each movement down made Penny to show her rising excitement. As she started to play with her cunt and suck her clit, Penny had a strong orgasm. Her elder sister hungrily sucked in her juices.
This exhibition had made my cock hungry for action. I mounted behind the elder sister while she had her mouth buried in Penny's cunt. I slapped my enlarged cock on her cunt and asshole that was exposed high and wide as she was bent on her sister. I applied the juices that were flowing even from the elder sister's cunt on the head of my cock and slowly entered her cunt from behind. This made her squirm with delight. I straightway started to pump my cock in and out due to the urgency of release and also as she herself was on the verge of release of her tension through orgasm of her own. Penny opened her eyes and seeing what I was up to, started to press her sister to her own cunt and further pulled out the two halves of her sister's ass to enable me to have an easier access. I pushed in and out with increased speed. The elder sister restarted to eat her younger sister's pussy. With an orchestra of cries and sighs we three almost simultaneously came and released our load. I filled the elder sister's cunt with my cum, she showered her juices on my cock and spilled over to wet my public hair while Penny filled her sister's mouth once again with her juices. We were so spent that we had no energy to get up and wash. I just rearranged the two sisters to lie on either side with their heads on my shoulder, their one breast each on my chest, their one hand each holding my currently limp cock and their one leg each on my thighs- a perfectly symmetrical geometrical shape of a man and two women in embrace. If any gal, lady or group of females or any couple want to be in touch with me my e-mail id xxxxxx


text: Hello gurus, My parents will appear at Mumbai consulate for B2 application. In the list of required documents, the VFS website mentions birth certificate for parents and the US relative. I have a birth certificate, but my parents do not. My parents have school leaving certificates (in Gujarati) with date of birth, which I can get translated in English. What is a reasonably easy to obtain document if parents do not have the birth certificate? Is it really required given that date of birth, address etc. are already mentioned in the passport? My original birth certificate (which is in English) does not have my name, but has parents name. If I sent a notarized copy of the original to them by post, will that suffice? Thank you for the inputs, sanguine

Dealing with dizziness, Stewart sent to hospital
NEW YORK -- Yankees catcher Chris Stewart was sent to be evaluated at New York-Presbyterian Hospital after experiencing more symptoms of dizziness before Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Red Sox.
Stewart was originally in New York's lineup but left the field during batting practice. He said that he had a blood test and a CT scan performed, and while doctors found no evidence of a concussion, Stewart will have to return to the hospital for more tests on Monday.
"It was nothing major; very minor stuff," Stewart said. "We wanted to be cautious about it and not push it. Hopefully [Monday] works out and I'm in there."
Stewart was forced to depart Saturday's 11-1 loss to Boston in the fourth inning due to symptoms of dehydration, saying afterward that he had felt light-headed but could have finished the game.
"I've had heat exhaustion where I played in very hot weather, very humid weather, and it wore on my body," Stewart said, "but nothing to where it kind of messed with my head a little bit."
Stewart was replaced behind the plate for Sunday's game by catcher Austin Romine, who went 1-for-1. Stewart is batting .262 with three homers and eight RBIs in 32 games, and manager Joe Girardi said that it would not be prudent to go with just one available catcher on the roster for very long.
"We're a little concerned or we wouldn't have sent him for a test," Girardi said. "We're hoping he comes in [Monday] and feels really good."
If anything happened to Romine, shortstop Jayson Nix would have served as the Yankees' emergency catcher.

We recently did fledermaus in du Toits kloof. This is an absolute classic for that grade. The 10th pitch is the crux (a modest 10). I found this pitch to be at least 15/16. I am new to the trad scene as I did sport climbing for a couple of years. Am I being a softy or is this a bit undergraded? It might have been the exposure that blew all my senses???
I am thinking of doing Pisa wall. Can I expect this same kind of undergrading or should I stop whining and get to the gym?

Albany woman speaks about ceiling collapsing on her
Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:45:34 GMT —
A woman is telling FOX 31 about the terrifying moment her ceiling collapsed on her Friday night.
When Chussey Evans and her family returned to their home, they found water leaking from the ceiling at 957 Holloway Avenue. Evans and her husband, Brandon Evans, immediately began moving electronics and other valuables out of the way.
"When the ceiling fell, it knocked me down onto my chair and my husband and step dad had to pull the ceiling off of me," Evans said.
Moments later, paramedics transported Evans to the hospital.
"Now, they say that I have back and neck injuries and I have to do some follow ups," Evans said. "I'm just glad my kids weren't in there."
Evans says there were some leak issues about five months ago.
FOX 31 has reached out to the Albany Housing Authority for comment. Executive Director Dan McCarthy says the water pipe is being repaired now and expects it to be finished in one week.
The housing authority has placed the family in a hotel until then.

GONZALES— The third time was the charm for St. Amant High School sophomore Jesse Bateman as he yodeled his way to victory May 9 at the Ascension Idol fundraiser.
"It was worth the wait," said Bateman, 18.
Bateman finished in second place the first year of the contest and didn't make it to the final, top-five round last year.
Bateman credited his maturity, stage performance and preparation for the win. His two previous attempts at winning the title, he said, helped him prepare for this year's competition.
"It (singing) is a big part of my life ... a big part of my personality," Bateman said after the win.
Ascension Idol is a singing competition based on the popular "American Idol" television contest.
Bateman was one of 19 high school and middle school students who took part in the third annual event at the Gonzales Civic Center.
As Bateman sang his final number, "San Antonio Rose," his voice coach, Kim Vicknair, nervously watched from the back of the room.
Vicknair, who never sat down throughout the nearly two-hour show, was elated when Bateman's name was announced as the winner.
"It's like the best feeling in the whole world," Vicknair said.
Vicknair, who has taught performance arts for 30 years, said she was proud of all three of her students for making it to the Ascension Idol stage.
Last month, students competed for spots in the singing contest. Each of the semifinalists sang one song on May 9 and five were called out for a final performance.
Ashlie Nicole McGowan, Madeline Ringwald, Catlin Jacque and Tyler Gremillion joined Bateman in the final round.
Semifinalists Bateman, McGowan and Carleigh Keller are all students of Vicknair.
Bateman's first song, "Unchained Melody," won him praise from the judges.
Judge Mike Waguespack called Bateman polished and confident, and judge Darryl Hambrick called the performance "hot."
The event is a fundraiser for the Ascension Fund, which provided its first teacher grant in 1992, and since that time has given more than 1,000 grants representing $1.2 million in awards to 30 area public schools and teachers.

Nicky Hayden fastest during a wet Friday practice (1) for the season-ending Valencia MotoGP.

- Live
The final MotoGP race weekend of the 2012 season got off to a wet start at Valencia on Friday morning.
The newly resurfaced track was soaking throughout, with Ducati's Nicky Hayden - who clinched the world title at Valencia in 2006 - and Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa exchanging the top spot from the eleventh minute onwards.
The American eventually pushed one-second clear of Pedrosa on his final lap, by which time the 2012 championship runner-up was already in the pits.
Yamaha's newly crowned double world champion Jorge Lorenzo moved into a late third place (+1.460s) with Andrea Dovizioso replicating his championship position in fourth (+1.536s) for Monster Yamaha Tech 3.
Fresh from a dream sixth successive victory in his final home Australian appearance, Casey Stoner made a careful start to his final MotoGP weekend with tenth (+3.042s).
While the top four championship places - Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Stoner and Dovizioso - are already decided, 14 points cover Alvaro Bautista, Valentino Rossi and Cal Crutchlow in fifth, sixth and seventh.
Bautista was fifth quickest for San Carlo Honda Gresini this morning, just ahead of Aspar's top CRT rider Aleix Espargaro, with Rossi seventh - at the start of his last weekend with Ducati - and Crutchlow eighth.
Espargaro's team-mate Randy de Puniet was the other top ten rider this morning, in ninth.
Lorenzo's team-mate Ben Spies is missing his final Yamaha appearance due to recent shoulder surgery and has been replaced by test rider Katsuyuki Nakasuga.
Nakasuga fell on his way to 13th this morning, with James Ellison (19th) the only other faller, at the start of his last event with PBM.
Former 250cc world champion and MotoGP rider Hiroshi Aoyama is returning to the premier-class in place of the injured Yonny Hernandez at Avintia Blusens for Valencia.
Aoyama, who will be a full-time Avintia rider in 2013, was 22nd and last this morning, almost ten-seconds off the pace of Hayden and two-seconds behind next slowest Claudio Corti.
Corti, dropped by the Italtrans Moto2 team in favour of Toni Elias after Aragon, is making his MotoGP debut as a wild-card for Avintia - albeit on the Kawasaki-powered Inmotec chassis - ahead of a full-time campaign with Forward Racing in 2013.
25-year-old Italian Corti took his first grand prix podium in the wet at Le Mans this year.
Second practice takes place this afternoon.

For time-starved cooks, recipes with a lot of ingredients are kryptonite. We want to stay away from them at all costs.
This week, the Sunday Supper tastemakers have put on their super-cook capes on to save the day (or dinner) with recipes that use five or fewer ingredients. (Water, salt, pepper, and oil are "freebies" that do not count as ingredients.) Now honestly, who couldn't get behind recipes with so few ingredients? From pasta dishes to slow cooker entrees to delicious sweet treats to enticing appetizers, you'll be inspired to try these easy recipes.
Join us around the Twitter table at 7 p.m. ET Sunday when T.R. of Gluten Free Crumbley leads the weekly discussion. We promise it will be an hour well spent.

Perth house prices see end-of-year push
Late settlements from the September quarter have pulled the median price from that period to $485,000, figures by the Real Estate institute of WA show.
REIWA President Alan Bourke said the data showed that property sales had increased during October and November while the median price had remained steady.
"The high number of listings had peaked at 17,600 but is now trending down following a 14 per cent jump in sales over the last couple of months," he said.
"We are now starting to see a decline in sales for the start of December, but this is a seasonal occurrence and is to be expected."
Mr Bourke said around 10 per cent of sellers took properties off the market over the summer holiday period with the intention of relisting them in the New Year.
"Our data do not show any particular shifts in price ranges or geographic areas, suggesting a steady market across metropolitan Perth," Mr Bourke said.
Recent finance data released by Australian Bureau of Statistics showed the level of overall finance approvals for WA in October had a modest 0.9 per cent fall after the 5 per cent growth in approvals for September.
Mr Bourke said there was a dip in new housing construction finance in October but overall level of approvals were up just 1 per cent in recent months, indicating that the market was "bumping along the bottom".
"Refinancing approvals, representing 32 per cent of all loan approvals in the three months to October, were up by 2 per cent as borrowers looked to fix rates or change lenders for a better deal," Mr Bourke said.
REIWA data showed median rents remained steady despite preliminary figures from the rental vacancy survey suggesting that Perth's vacancy rate was trending down from 3.4 per cent from the September quarter to 3.1 per cent in the three months to November.
Mr Bourke said overall market signals were encouraging with a lift in sales turnover, the median price stabilising and properties on the market declining.

Welsh medium(172 Posts)
Anyone with any experience of welsh medium education? Come tell me your experiences! Neither DH or I speak welsh but I did gcse and I m willing to learn if we choose welsh medium for DS.
Advice and comments welcomed
I went to Welsh speaking primary and secondary schools in Pembrokeshire many moons ago. I loved them both. What specifically were you after? I don't think it's necessary for the parents to speak Welsh but it'll certainly do no harm. I think the willingness to try speaks volumes about you, I really do. Your son should love it.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Thanks for the replies.
I like the school because of the cultural presence it's got, the kids get involved in the urdd and lots of sport etc. its viewed as the best school in the area. I want DS to have the best opportunity for everything and I think that welsh wouldn't hinder him, I think he'd gain. I just worry that with gcse science etc when he's older I'd struggle to help him. I'm an English teacher in a comp so I'm not worried about English gcse!
Whereabouts are you OP? I think it can only be a positive thing really - although as a teacher in a bilingual school I would say that my experience is that there are less resource in welsh at the moment. I'm in primary though, and only an NQT so my experience doesn't count for much
My children are in Welsh primary and are very happy there. I've been learning as they learn and can now converse reasonably well - I can certainly keep up with my 8 year olds reading books and homework. All homework is sent home with an English translation though. Remember that by the time they get to secondary they can easily translate for you and back again. My nieces and nephews are in Welsh stream of a bilingual comp and the only time they need help from a proper welsh speaker is when they are doing Welsh homework.
I've no idea about the lack of resources at welsh comprehensives though...the view round here is that the english comps have a bad reputation and sending your child to a welsh primary means you have a larger range of comps to choose from.
I do love hearing my two speaking welsh and now my eldest is in the juniors there are loads of urdd related activities she can join in with which is great!
I'm in the valleys
I taught DS to say dere 'ma earlier and it was funny to hear his little voice in welsh
I think I'm going to ask if I can meet with someone from the school, they must get this all the time. I know he's only 2 but I will start him at meithrin if I'm definitely going to send him to wm
It's such a hard decision! I just want to give him good opportunities in life soppy mum emoticon
Some people think that there's no point learning welsh because its a dying language - but if your DC wants to live and work in Wales then you are certainly giving him the best start in life! I'm not a fluent welsh speaker and over the last few years have found it increasingly difficult to find a job on any sector, as the vast majority specify bilingualism as essential.
Plus, I'm sure I've read that being bilingual makes becoming trilingual easier, so that could be doubly useful later on! Don't quote me on that though...
I've just ordered some welsh language stuff from amazon for me and DS
It's happening!
I have mixed feelings about this. I did look into the welsh school by us as it was viewed as a better school. I think as someone mentioned earlier that to live and work in wales it is a good advantage to speak welsh as a lot of jobs do ask for it and even if they don't they view it as an advantage.
However, i have taught in a college (English speaking) and some of the students have struggled with the move from welsh medium to English because all there learning is in welsh and some of the specific words that they use in school but not in everyday life they do not know in English. But i also have friends who went from welsh school strait to welsh speaking university so didn't have that problem. I have many friends who chose the welsh school and are very happy with it.
I decided on English medium in the end because they do an awful lot more welsh than they did when i was young and my 4 and 6 year old are able now to speak more than i did at gcse level. I also didn't like the thought of not being able to help them with work, (i tried to go back as an adult and learn it again but found it so hard)
Good luck.
I think the Welsh medium schools do better than other schools in Wales. However I think we will stick to English medium and if that fails....Eton!
We had Spanish exchange post grads at university, they always said that speaking good English was the most important skill they could acquire.
It also saved them money as translated academic books, if they even existed, were very expensive.
Speak good English and the World is your oyster, speak good Welsh and you get a few very pretty hills.
(They are very pretty hills and I miss them, but I will never go back)
"Speak good English and the World is your oyster, speak good Welsh and you get a few very pretty hills."
A child whose first language is English won't stop speaking it just because they are in Welsh medium education, though.
Smiling - my dd is in yr 6 at a Welsh medium primary. For background, in her year of 16, I think that 2 children have parents who are fluent Welsh speakers, and none speak Welsh at home AFAIK - which is pretty typical of the school as a whole.
I would say that there are advantages and disadvantages. DD has some specific dyslexic/dyspraxic type issues, and I do think that working entirely in Welsh for KS1 didn't help with these (in particular because she was reading fluently in English by the time they started using it in school in yr 3, and so got no English phonics at all). I think if your dc have any ALNs then working in a second language - and a language which realistically in many parts of Wales they are unlikely to use outside of the school setting - adds an additional layer of difficulty.
Moving on into secondary, there are other issues - in theory dc may be fluent, but if they have only spoken the language in school then they won't have the range of vocabulary that you would expect. And it is hard to expand that vocabulary since the resources easily available in Welsh are pretty limited (even at KS2 try helping your dc find the vocab for a piece of homework talking about how chamelaeons change colour). Too often I would say dd writes a piece of work to the words she knows, rather than to her true ability.
The overwhelming obvious advantage of course is if they stay in Wales then it will help with employment. So often two people I know go for an interview, and the Welsh speaker gets the job, of course this is going to happen if there are two equally qualified candidates, why would you not choose the one who can speak to your customers in their preferred language.
We are now at the 'welsh stream or english stream' question for 2ndary. DD isn't going to the welsh medium secondary despite its stellar results - we don't think it is right for her partly because of the school, but largely because of the Welsh (though also tbh I think a lot of the very traditional attitudes are closely linked to Welsh culture in this area). She has the option of streams in the other school, ideally she would do just a couple of subjects in Welsh, which used to be allowed, but seems not to be the case now . . . a big dilemma for us.
I went to a welsh medium school and I was really proud of it. Neither of my parents spoke welsh but my mum did pick it up as me and my brothers went through school. It is very helpful for getting jobs in Wales.
It also helps if your DCs decide to learn other languages because of the different verbs and the language structure.
It is a bit awkward in higher education my DN 18 (another who has had a welsh education) went to a welsh college after being in a welsh primary and secondary school. She found the language difference hard to get used to but she is glad she has done it now rather than getting to uni and having to work through it there.
The resources for welsh schools are getting much better and the GCSE text books are being translated. I imagine by the time your DC gets to secondary school the resources shall all be translated.
I have decided to send my DCs to a welsh medium primary school and they love it there.
I do work on their english at home in order to improve their reading and make sure they aren't behind just because they went to a welsh school. We also speak english at home and it is our DCs first language.
The school suits our family well and the school has very good resources and activities and the DCs get to join in with the Urdd etc, so I don't think they are disadvantaged by being there.
Our 2 ds's are in a welsh primary.
DH speaks welsh and I am in my 4th year of learning, so I can help with their reading and spelling but I don't converse with their teachers in welsh (yet!).
90% of children at school come from non-welsh speaking homes. That isn't a problem.
The results that our school gets are excellent and on a par with our catchment English speaking primary but our school is much smaller. It's a friendly place with a real sense of belonging and community.
As far as I see it, speaking welsh will not close any doors to our ds's but it will open lots. What's not to like about that?!
It still seem very odd to me that you would go to all this trouble to educate DCs in a language that is only any use to them in a tiny corner of the world.
I went to school in Wales and consider it home, but I hate how it's become almost racist in it's attitude to outsiders.
Jobs only for Welsh speakers is surely against all the European freedom of movement rules. If I was polish or Spanish I could learn English at my local college, but not Welsh. Likewise my DDS can learn French or even Chinese, but Welsh would be far harder.
Worst still insisting on Welsh for employment discriminates against many many born and bread Welsh people. My generation did Welsh as a MFL a few lessons a week and most of us gave up at 14. We do not speak it. My Welsh friends parents and grandparents in mid Wales didn't speak it.
My DSIS can't speak it, although she can copy type bilingual stuff and don't get her started on how much money that wastes when the local council are making job cuts.
Welsh has been imposed by the Cardiff intellectual and political classes, somehow they have brain washed the wider population into believing it is vital to their cultural identity. It isn't, but making it necessary for high paid local government and teaching jobs sure as hell protects their livelihoods and those of their children.
They have been very, very, clever and I am not criticizing parents who have chosen Welsh medium education. I know my DSIS best friend has because that was the best funded and most supportive school for her DCs.
I am criticizing the officials that have made it so because I think their motives have far more to do with getting and retaining power and very little to do with Welsh cultural identity.
The last census showed that the number of Welsh speakers has fallen, to 19% of the population - there is no data on how fluent or otherwise these speakers consider themselves to be. This is apparently due to demographic changes, including fewer children and an increase in older adults.
So, that's about 500,000 in the entire world who can speak some Welsh.
If your ambitions for your child extend to spending the rest of their life living in Wales, and working in local government, then I would say that WME is a great idea. If not, I would choose EM and, if desired, take a GCSE in Welsh.
Sorry link to census here
Adeucalione - that's a bit rude, my ambitions for my son are that he is happy and succeeds in whatever he wants to do. If that involves him living and working in Wales for the rest of his life then that's up to him. I sense a sneering attitude where you say that. You sound rather 'anti wales / welsh' tbh. I'm a successful and experienced teacher, I know how the education system works thanks. I was just keen to hear others' experiences.
Thanks for all the replies. It's really been food for thought.
I suggest you read my comment again - not rude or sneering at all, perhaps I have touched a nerve?
I merely offered my honest opinion, based on recent census statistics and my own experience of living and working in Wales.
No nerve touched, you just sound odd. I don't need to read it again thanks.
Would like to reiterate my thanks for those who have given me some constructive comments and advice to consider.
Thanks again.
I've just moved back to Wales and I think there is far more Welsh around than there used to be. My DCs are in an English medium school but if they'd been younger when we moved back I would have considered welsh medium. What's not to like?
My lack of welsh didn't prevent me finding a job; far from it. Got the first, well paid part time job I applied for.
Oh, they speak welsh in Patagonia too.
Brilliant, I'm rude, sneering, anti-Welsh and now odd too, I've excelled myself
See, this bizarrely negative attitude to the Welsh language is exactly why so many laws have had to be written to protect it. Is there any other country in the world where the idea of people wanting to speak their native tongue would be dismissed as some kind of political conspiracy or a lack of ambition?! Is there any other country in the world where it would be seen as acceptable to complain that you actually need to speak the language to get a job there?
There are millions of languages the world over, many of them spoken by very few people. And of course it's true that English is a kind of global majority language. But would you also argue that we should just get rid of every other language and only speak English the entire world over?!
Why is it apparently so difficult to believe or understand that some Welsh people actually want to speak Welsh?
And, you know what, not every single choice I make for my children is about what will get them the best possible job. I want them to live a life that is culturally rich. Why not start with their own native culture? Learning a language - any language - can only help them broaden their horizons and outlook. Thank God, they won't grow up to be monoglots, convinced of the superiority of the English language above all others, bellowing loudly at other nationalities in English because they can't be bothered to learn another language. They have learnt from a very tender age about the value of bilingualism.

I had never heard of Code Adam until the day last spring when I needed it. It was a rainy day and I took my 4-year old daughter (known as Girlchild) to the Toys R Us up the street to burn off a little excess energy in the two-story play area. She's pretty good about not wandering off in a situation like this, so while she played I was talking to other moms and scanning a magazine I'd brought with me,periodically looking up to visually locate and check on her. Then, all of a sudden, I couldn't see her.
Here's where I made my first mistake. I stood up, called for her, went into the base section of the play area to look for her and call for her. Then I removed my shoes and crawled through the play area while some of the parents outside watched me slowly getting more and more frantic (and not offering to help!)
I climbed out and started searching the store myself, the restrooms, her favorite aisle where the train table is set up, etc. I wasted about ten minutes this way. Finally, feeling like the world's worst mom, I went back to the party planning station near the play area and told the employee, semi-tearfully, that I'd lost my child.
They literally sprang into action, the employee at the desk grabbing a walkie-talkie and calling out "Code Adam, we have a Code Adam alert!" She then asked me for a description of Girlchild and her clothing and shoes. Another employee, a manager who happened to be walking by, grabbed his radio and instructed that the doors be locked. I stood there feeling helpless while the store employees literally dropped EVERYTHING to look for Girlchild. I got a little nervous when I heard over the radio that an employee had spotted her and then lost her. She came up to the front of the store on her own and I nearly squeezed her in two after running halfway across the store when someone radioed she was headed up front.
She'd gotten bored in the playscape and followed a little boy she'd been playing with out when his mom told him it was time to quit and had been following them around the store the whole time. The mom in question had no clue Girlchild was following her. I can't speak to whether or not this was true but I choose to believe it because I like to believe the best of people.
When Girlchild and I were reunited and she confirmed to the staff that yes, I was her mommy, they radioed a "Cancel Code Adam" signal, the doors were unlocked, and normal retail life resumed.
I cannot even begin to imagine what might have happened had I not alerted that employee and Girlchild just wandered freely or followed someone else out of the store. If you ever, EVER think you may have lost your child in a public place, immediately tell an employee BEFORE searching on your own. I was lucky but the time I wasted trying to find her myself could be the difference between a happy reunion and tragedy if someone with malicious intent has lured your child away. Do not take that chance!
Next entry will cover details of Code Adam, including the steps involved, standard procedures, federal law, and a brief list of some of the major retailers who participate.

Fire consumed two Lincoln County homes in separate incidents in recent days, forcing officials from the Fire Marshal's Office to investigate each scene.
On Tuesday, crews from Denver, Pumpkin Center and East Lincoln Fire Departments responded to a blaze around 10 a.m. on the 6900 block of East N.C. 150, near Lebanon Church Road.
Flames were leaping from nearly 40 percent of the one-story brick home when firefighters arrived on scene, according to Dion Burleson, public information officer for Denver Fire Department.
"The rest of the structure had heavy smoke pumping out of it," he said.
An elderly woman and her grandchild were inside the home at the time of the incident but were able to flee the fire without injury, asking a neighbor to contact 911, Burleson told the Times-News.
She discovered the fire after trying to make a call from her land-line phone and realized it wasn't working, according to an agency press release.
Fire officials said the blaze started near an electrical panel on the home's backside.
The structure has been deemed a "significant" but not total loss, Burleson said.
Sherrills Ford-Terrell Fire and Rescue was on stand-by at the Denver Fire Department during the incident.
Flames also devoured a mobile home Saturday morning on the county's western end while owners vacationed at the beach, fire officials said.
The fire started in the home's attic around 2:30 a.m., Lincoln County Fire Marshal Mike Futrell told the Times-News Monday morning.
Fire crews with Howards Creek Volunteer Fire Department were first to arrive on scene at the Shoal Road property.
"Smoke and fire were coming through the roof when we arrived," Fire Chief Dusty Rudisill said. "It was well advanced even before we got there."
Fire officials labeled the home a total loss.
A cause has yet to be determined, and an investigation into the blaze is ongoing.
"At this time, we have not ruled anything," Futrell said.
Emergency Medical Services also responded with mutual aid from Crouse, North Brook and Union Fire Departments.

London, United Kingdom, 2013/11/18 - Platts said today that an independent assurance review completed by Ernst & Young confirms that Platts' governance and controls framework, policies and editorial practices align with IOSCOs Principles for Oil Price Reporting Agencies - Platts.com. NYSE: MHP; NYSE: MHFI
Platts, a leading energy, petrochemical and metals information provider, said today that an independent assurance review completed by Ernst & Young confirms that Platts' governance and controls framework, policies and editorial practices align with IOSCOs Principles for Oil Price Reporting Agencies.
The results of the review confirm that Platts sets and meets high standards for price reporting, said Larry Neal, president of Platts. Clearly defined and transparent methodologies are the heart of Platts assessment processes. We are pleased that our methodology framework and control procedures provide reasonable assurance that the PRA principles have been achieved.
The reasonable assurance review included a comprehensive review of Platts documentation of its processes for price assessments used for oil derivative contracts and observances of its practices in Houston, London and Singapore. The review was undertaken to meet IOSCOs recommendation that oil price reporting agencies engage an external auditor to review and report on the PRAs adherence to its stated methodology criteria and with the requirements of the IOSCO principles. A reasonable assurance review is the highest standard for this type of review.
Platts has dedicated extensive resources to ensuring our alignment to the IOSCO Principles, and our efforts will continue as we work to align Platts price assessment processes for other commodities that underlie financial derivatives contracts to the IOSCO Principles, Neal said.
The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published its Principles for Oil Price Reporting Agencies in October 2012. The Principles have been endorsed by the G20 and were referenced in IOSCOs Principles for Financial Benchmarks, published in July.
Platts supports efforts by legislators and regulators to assure confidence in price benchmarks in the oil markets and other physical commodities markets that we cover, Neal said. Our broad implementation of the IOSCO PRA Principles for oil and other commodities is evidence of this support.
Platts has published the full reasonable assurance review on its website, which includes the policies and procedures it has in place to meet each of the IOSCO Principles, and Ernst & Youngs comments on those policies and procedures. Details of Platts methodologies can also be found on the website.

Our past can be as unknowable as our future. For every family with rich stories passed from generation to generation, another sifts through fragmented memories. For every home with a gallery of framed family photos, there stands another with bare walls.
Photographer Rafael Goldchain faced his past and was dispirited by what he saw: too many painful gaps, too few records of his Polish-Jewish family, many of whom perished in the Holocaust after others had settled in South America. These absences were more apparent, the silences more amplified, when Goldchain became a father. As his son's identity took shape, so did Goldchain's need to connect him to his family's roots.
- I Am My Family: Photographic Memories and Fictions, by Rafael Goldchain, Princeton Architectural Press, 168 pages, $42.30
Goldchain's bridge to the past is unlike any other. I Am My Family is a collection of self-portraits in which Goldchain poses as his ancestors, real and imagined. In his journey toward the vanished lives of a Poland he never knew, the Chile-born Goldchain - he now lives in Canada and teaches at the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning in Oakville, Ont. - uses digital tools and a seasoned actor's bag of old tricks: makeup, props, costumes, wigs.
He transforms himself into a great-great grandparent holding a Yiddish newspaper, a musician wrapped in the joyful sound of his clarinet, a grey-haired, bearded elder like a thousand others from the shtetls of Eastern Europe.
Most of the portraits marry a sense of theatricality - some playful, others poignant - with Goldchain's mission, a process he describes as "an attempt to return to a historical/mythical place of origin from which I am irretrievably exiled." A few attempts fall short - Goldchain remains Goldchain - but most appear to be true to their time and are profoundly powerful as past and present merge before our eyes.
This faux authenticity can be genuinely affecting, as in the arresting portraits of Baruch Rubinsztajn and Zyndel Baumfeld. If a picture is a worth a thousand words, each of these men born in the late 1800s has a gaze worth a thousand more. Baumfeld stares at us with a simmering intensity that is discomfiting. Rubinsztajn looks baleful and resigned, as if breathing the damning air of Auschwitz itself. We forget that both are Goldchain himself, a tribute to his gifts as a photographer, and his will to inhabit an elusive moment in time.
Goldchain's imagination and technique seem boundless. In several portraits, he appears as a female relative, often to remarkable effect. Fur coats and stylish hats are only part of the package. The faces of these women - a tentative bride, a wistful great-aunt - have been shaded and sculpted as surely as if Goldchain had been using charcoal or clay.
Pushing boundaries further still, Goldchain creates memorable photographs of family members who never existed but might have found a place in the bough of his family tree. The book's subtitle is Photographic Memories and Fictions. In Goldchain's hands, fictional lives are made real as a tribute to those whose images and stories were extinguished. Left to absorb these fictions, one can't help but contemplate the questions they spawn. As curator Martha Langford notes in her introductory essay, I Am My Family "is as much about imagining as remembering, though this kind of imagining is a way of remembering."
One of the most striking of these fictions is Doña Reizl Goldsjazn Rozenfeld (as with many Jewish families, Goldchain's family name went through its own migrations). Goldchain describes her as a "middle-aged, stylish woman suffering from chronic, mild depression," while Langford sees her as a "slightly mad sister who fascinates her cousins, exasperates her parents, and brings her siblings regularly to the boil."
In "reading" this portrait of a woman who never was but might have been, Goldchain and Langford impose their own story on her. Inevitably, portraits are but one piece of a narrative we build to fill the unknown and unknowable landscape of past lives, real or imagined. Langford challenges us to move beyond the present tense as we construct these narratives. "It is not just a matter of 'Who are these people?' The real question, bursting the binding of the Goldchain family album, is 'Who did they dream of becoming?' "
This haunting, unanswerable question frames several portraits, but another runs like a river beneath all of them. Each self-portrait doubles as a mirror for Goldchain and his son to stare into and ask: Who am I? The past is irretrievable but the search for identity remains timeless. I Am My Family is an invitation to reconstruct who we were to better understand who we are, and to consider the price paid when we forget.

Lincoln Police are searching for suspects after criminals hit the Black Sands Apartments for the second time in as many weeks.
Police say someone broke into at least six vehicles in the parking lot around 3 a.m. Thursday morning.
Sergeant Terrance Vernon says one car had its windows smashed.
"It is the 85th larceny from autos since Thanksgiving in Northwest Lincoln. It's the 25th case of vandalism in that area since Thanksgiving," said Officer Katie Flood.
Witnesses report seeing a red, Ford Mustang with a loud exhaust leaving the complex after a car alarm went off.
Police believe this may be related to other vandalism cases throughout the city. Residents at the Black Sands Apartments say repairs are going to be expensive and inconvenient for some.
"It's very frustrating. Now, I have to drive two hours listening to plastic blow," said Allie Exstrom who was a victim of the vandalism. Her drivers side window was smashed in the early morning spree.
"Now I have to pay a $200.00 bill to get my window repaired. It's frustrating and unnecessary," said Jenn White who was also a victim of the vandalism.
If you have any information, call Crimestoppers at 475-3600.

Reese Is an American in London
Reese Is an American in London
Reese Witherspoon shopped in London earlier this week, but between her cute hat and nautical colors she's already ahead of the game on her Summer trends. The actress has been back and forth spending time overseas to hang with Jake while he's filming Prince of Persia in the UK for now and soon in Morocco. While all she needs is a splash of red to get in the Independence Day spirit, even if this adorable couple had to miss out on Fourth of July festivities in the states this year, we're sure they'll still find a way to make some fireworks of their own.

I use a T60 2007-4CG, which I love and decided to promote it to W7 because of its very decent screen and sufficient hardware capabilities.
I applied all BIOS patches and I now face one weird issue : I discovered in W7 that each time I pressed the Fn key, it was interpreted as if I pressed the mute key.
Initially, I found it was a problem related to W7, so I reinstalled it, with no luck. Still the same problem.
After several tests, I'm now sure it is related to the BIOS :
when booting and accessing the BIOS, I can no longer press Fn + Page Up to lit the keyboard. This means that even in the BIOS, the key is not correctly interpreted.
Moreover, if I activate the Fn lock in the BIOS, then, the behaviour is slightly different : the first hit on Fn acts like mute, but the second (if pressed fast enough) acts as the Fn key has been pressed, thus enabling me to lit the keyboard (for example). This trick works in the BIOS setup pages and in W7.
I tried to downgrade my BIOS, but it did not change anything.
Has anyone encountered the same issue ? Is there anything I can try to restore the normal behaviour of the Fn key ?

This line was really great, it's in the shade all morning and not many people do this wall.
We did this with only one 70m rope and were going to walk off climbers-right using the slabs. Beware, that could have been deadly. When we finally realized the death potential, pulled out the GPS and used the backside of the head-wall to descend the creek valley. It was not only safe that way, but also an awesome hike back.

Climbed this route today, and surprisingly, there was another party who came up behind us. I think this is a quality route, albeit a bit vegetated and dirty (and damp today). It would benefit from some more traffic to clean it up.
Pitch 1: I didn't like the look of the bushes/awkwardness of following the middle crack/dihedral the whole way, so I opted to climb halfway up the corner of "Pennyroyal High" and then pull up left at the top of the flake into the Euphoria corner. (In fact, I wasn't sure if that was actually the preferred way to go (given the vegetation) but Brian's photo shows that you can also follow the middle crack the whole way.) I don't know if I just wasn't warmed up yet, but that initial corner of "Pennyroyal High" felt really hard and sustained for 5.7. Granted, it's a bit lichenous, and was wet from yesterday's rain, so YMMV. Belay just above the bush, which had bail slings on it today.
Pitch 2: The "5.5" isn't too runout as long as you find the gear. This pitch may have gotten harder over the years, as I broke off a knob today, and I'm sure I'm not the first to do so. Belay at the bottom of the flake for the next pitch. My partner belayed too far to the left and we had to split pitch 3 into two pitches since I ran out of rope.
Pitch 3: Really fun flake and knob climbing for the first 3/4 of this pitch. When the flake ends, climb up the somewhat awkward right facing corner to a good ledge. As long as you have belayed in the right spot, a 60m rope should just make it.
Pitch 4: 50ft of 5.6 laybacking and then easier flakes, knobs, and corners to the top. a 60m rope will get you to the tree that is the first rap anchor.
4 double rope raps to get down. You should be able to see each of the anchors fairly easily. There is a large crack on the second rap that your ropes will probably go into, but there didn't seem to be anything for them to get caught on inside. Angle right on the third rap to get to the fourth anchor.
We brought a set of nuts, singles grey-orange mastercams, doubles .5-3 camalots, and a single #4 camalot. This was adequate, but required some running out in easier terrain. The cracks are mostly fingers to hands. If you really want to sew it up, bring a second #4 and more cams in the yellow mastercam-#2 camalot range.
PS - We looked over at "Eagle Dihedral" and it appears to be a bushy mess. Probably a good adventure for someone into that sort of thing.


text: hey guys, I purchased this a few months ago at a camera show, and since,having run 10 or so rolls through it, it works perfectly! The shutter(Copal leaf shutter) works perfect, and get this: IT'LL SYNC ALL THE WAY TO 1/500th!!! The x-sync works great(no hot shoe, but a "cold"/dead shoe)The lens has some minor internal dust, but nothing that's affected my negatives and slides so far ! The needle meter cell works, but I haven't used it to gauge exposure, having used another handheld meter. Having done some reading up on this camera after purchasing, I found that this was designated mostly as a consumer camera. The optics wasn't top-tier in terms of contrast and "sharpness", but was good enough for most people's uses. It's worked great for me; it ain't a Leica 35/2 summicron sharpness-wise, but its a cheap way to start shooting with a RF. -- The lens is a 1.4, nice and fast for available light shooting. All shutter speeds are super accurate. From my 11x14 enlargements, the rangefinder is dead-on. The integrated 10sec timer built into the lens works great! -- The sale includes the Yashica leather 2piece form-case. Its seen better days, but I'll include it with the camera nonetheless. Also comes with a Pentax 58mm lenscap in picture #2 $135 SHIPPED IN THE USA int'l members please PM for a shipping quote, please include your country + post code for an accurate quote via USPS paypal is best(split the fees), I'll accept PMO's however(will need to clear fully before shipping) 5% to APUG thanks! -Dan __
