|Some of the climbs have cruxes which involve the very last move, so remember to finish the top rope routes and not just touch the 'biner and lower off - end of finger wagging.

|Apparently it's turned into quite the spot for drug addicts. Goofed off there a few days while I was consulting at Meggit Safety Systems. Saw multiple people every day huddled in the cracks on the top, obviously hiding what they had and looking disheveled. Bummer too as the park's got some fun bouldering and views.

Jonny, and I climbed at Stoney a couple of weeks ago.
Here's my take on it;
The grafitti sucked, and climbing on the lacquered spray paint on one route we did was slippery in a few spots but the rock was friendly on the hands, and the climbing was fun. The atmosphere wasn't too bad; I chatted with a couple of potential 5150s that were disheveled, yet sporting new climbing shoes meandering at the base of the routes. The homeless guys were staying low key, and had their items neatly stashed so it wasn't too much of an eye sore. There were a couple of guys that looked like they were maybe Rabbis with long beards scrambling in their religious clothing, and tennis shoes. The demeanor of the drug addicts; mellow, non-aggressive, non-confrontational. If you said "Boo!" they'd probably run home to mommy. Although I did see gang-like graffiti, I didn't see any gang activity while we were there anyway; no signs of MS-13. The only thing that frightened me was being forced to walk through a blockade of born again Christians on the trail, as they were filming an amateur religious video. They exhibited a paranoid wide-eyed look when I said, "Hey, what's up?" I guess I could be pretty scary too. Anyway, I enjoyed imagining the old school climbers back in the day cutting their teeth at these crags in a much more peaceful, beautiful, remote Stoney Point. The freeway noise was an annoyance but being from LA, it was to be expected. I loved watching, and hearing the trains go by while belaying, and climbing.
It's all good.
Stoney Point is a must visit place, and Chris Owens book was awesome.
Try it, you might like it.

Thank you Gigette. I'm trying to remember what my first impressions of Stoney Point were when I first arrived there in 1984; not positive I expect but I've grown to love the place.
Heck, I met all of my best friends there!

|On June 6, 2009, Saturday, I parked my car along Topanga Canyon Road shortly after 12 p.m. When I returned around 4 p.m., the driver side window was smashed. The burglar took items from the glove compartment and the console. The traffic was heavy along Topanga Canyon Road, and many cars parked on the east side. When I reported the incident to LAPD, they appear indifferent.

|Patton sorry to hear about your break in, not an unusual occurrence I'm sorry to say. I park by the Stoney Point sign, the idea being that people at Boulder 1 would see stuff happening up on the street. There seems to be more broken glass up by the traffic light.

Good times, very fun and easy to navigate/find routes. Don't let the talk about graffiti and bums make you think this place is anything less than classic.
Excellent bouldering for all levels of climbers. Some of it can be quite high so bring your courage.

By "he" I assume you mean me Tristan.
1) There are more routes in the 3rd edition - by about 100 I think.
2) The drawings are the same, besides the map, there's a new one and it just got published in Climbing magazine.
Still if you like the 2nd Edition - thanks and have fun with it.

|Does anyone know the [his]story about toilets at Stoney? I am not a super-frequent climber out there but every time I do head out it strikes me that the high traffic of climbers, hikers, families picnicing on the weekends and the odd resident bum must add up to a prolific amount of human waste. Considering how many people enjoy Stoney, its beauty and historical importance it's baffling that there's nowhere to errr, go. I realize it's officially a city issue but is this something other climbers have tried to do something about [in vain] already?

Junio, not for many decades to my knowledge - I brought it up at a council meeting back in 1994. I would certainly be worth considering, one issue that would need to be addressed (besides expense) would be the vandalism issue, how to prevent the bathrooms from being trashed and destroyed, or even burned to the ground.
It may be possible to find sponsorship through private sources. As mentioned previously policing is a concern, we did manage to get no parking after dark signs which have impacted the graffiti and trash, I think significantly.
As a city park Stoney Point is a work in process.

Purplepineapple: I don't toprope too often, so I'm not familiar with the boy scout wall area, but it's my opinion that the bees should be kept wherever the boyscouts are climbing.
Maybe you should post under your real name if you are going to be proposing a big change like this. And only a few of the old timers actually belong to this site. Go to Boulder 1 on Tuesday and Thursday nights and ask everyone with grey hair what they think. I for one am not for glueing holds. I'm also not for messing with the bees. If you want to kill rattlesnakes, I'm okay with that.
By Chris Owen

I'm with Rob on this and also have gray hair (I'm not implying that Rob has gray hair).
I can't see that moderate routes need to have holds glued, they've seen plenty of activity and erosion over the years and are in pretty good shape. Let's just let natural events make their mark and not try to manufacture routes - I think it's a bad precedence to set for routes on natural stone, at any grade.
I'm only aware of one beehive close to a moderate area (but I could be wrong), I've been stung by bees from that one. But really my attitude is not to mess with mother nature. The bees tend to stay in the same places over the years and if we move them from their established areas to new "out of the way" place that'll just allow more bees to move in to the newly vacated old areas.
Add quality bolt anchors - absolutely. Pink Drips in particular needs anchors, my only caveat is that they're set according to standard soft rock practices - Caltech Alpine Club has donated $50 for Pink Drips anchor replacement and I need to get off my butt and get something going - now that Spring is here it seems like a good time.

|Sitting here watching climbing vids tonight I began to miss Stoney Point and decided to look over what routes were on here and add my tick marks from a 2011 trip where I fell in love with the place. I absolutely cannot wait to be in LA again just to go to Stoney Point. One visit gave it a special place in my heart and little did I know that it was so rich in climbing history too. Great contributions Chris. I hope to be out there again soon. If you're a climber/boulderer in South Cali this is a must hit destination.

Does anyone know the name of the route on the wall between nabisco & sculpture? The bolts are on top of the east wall of nabisco canyon, about 10 feet further down from the big eye bolt above the easy crack, and the route is on the opposite side of the wall from nabisco canyon.

Nick there are three routes on the outside wall of Nabisco Canyon (east of the canyon itself):
Quicksilver (5.9), Mercury (10a), and Winged Messenger. (10b).

This is a weird place, I saw some hobos doing things that i will never be able to un-see...Those with weak mental fortitude, beware. Lots of trash, tons of glass, lots of graffiti... don't expect any sense of solitude.
But the Rock was good and fellow climbers were super friendly.
By Susan E
Jul 31, 2014
I read several comments about the graffiti and trash.
I am privileged enough to live adjacent to the park and even own a small section of boulders that are shared with the City via Easement-I've been watching you guys since the mid 80's and before that, I used to ride my horse through the park to get to the trail head.
Stoney Point was not only purchased for the public to enjoy through climbing, but there are also equestrian trails and even a hitch rail. It was once the main artery that connected the ranches on the West side of Topanga to the trail head at the top of Canoga (Saugus to the Sea) . We used to cross topanga at Sta Susanna and meander through the rocks on horseback dodging climbers - used to make for some exciting rides. We all figured it out and we all managed to get along.
Coyote Pass is what the locals call the Northern part of the park that goes up to the 118 - great trails there and parts of the Old Topanga road are still there.
We've never had problems until recently...seems like more and more people are coming to the park after hours (staying until the early morning hours and CLIMBING in the dark with miner's helmets on). The park closes at sundown...it's really not a big deal if people want to stay later provided they use a little common sense. You know...no screaming, yelling, etc. Some of us need our beauty rest...lol. Be sure to move your car off Topanga before 10pm...it's a tow away zone after that time.
Recently, the gangbangers / taggers have taken up residence late at night. New frescos appear almost daily, lately.
Several of us in the community have notified the Council Office and our Senior Lead Officer (Danny Del Valle at Devonshire Division). LAPD has ramped up the helicopter visits and we have asked for a mounted patrol detail in the park from time to time at sundown.
We've seen a lot over the years...
My family and I were first responders at the Metrolink crash.
I've seen dogs killed by coyotes, snakes and africanized bees, I've seen wild fires.
I've answered more than one call for help...sometimes it's a person who's fallen and sometimes someone is being victimized out there late at night. One time, it was a group of young boys camping up there!
I've seen people fire guns off the rock on Fourth of July, I've seen them launch professional fireworks and nearly burn themselves to death (yes...they almost blew themselves up and got arrested at the hospital for starting a fire).
I once saw a dude in red sequined underpants trying to start a fire...
I've seen pornos being filmed, I've also seen high dollar outfits including Seinfeld, Doll House, The Rock's Tooth Fairy, and others out there.
Mostly, it's pretty quiet back there but there are some things that I wish I could get across to people who use the park.
If you bring a dog, keep it on a leash. We've seen more than one killed because it got a little too curious - africanized bees abound in hives that are in the ground. Also, there are snakes and of course, Coyotes. LOTS of them up in Coyote Pass. They will come down, buddy up with your dog and then take off running with your dog playfully chasing after them. That is...until the other pack members move in for the kill.
Also, if you bring your toddler, don't turn them loose out there. We've seen some unfortunate things happen - stinging nettle, etc... and of course, loose dogs that love to pounce on little people.
I really wish I could get the word out to the people who are drilling holes in the rocks that they are destroying the boulders that we all love so much. I recently saw a guy sitting on top of one of the boulders (it's one that's split into two huge pieces on the East/South side facing the back of my ranch) and he was using power tools to drill into the sandstone. I wish he could see the boulders that were quarry mined and the technique they used to break apart the rocks...they hammered spikes into the boulders and they would split apart. They are not rocks...they are just compressed sand and are so fragile.
Anyway, enough of my novel...I just wanted to throw some of this information out there and hopefully if we all work together, we can keep Stoney Point safe and sane for all...

Susan E., thanks for your comment. It is nice to hear some of the history from someone that has such a close connection to a crag like this.
I was wondering if anyone has a name for the wall to the left of the Jesus Wall. I did a quick scramble up a corner over there that probably goes at around 5.4. It was fun and I'm sure tons of people have done it, but I don't see any routes left of Jesus Wall's 'Main Chimney' listed.
FYI all the old bees nests along the Jesus Wall and up Main Chimney are abandoned.

I've noticed some new chipping as well. Someone has been carving out a pocket behind the left starting hold of Masters of Reality, which doesn't make the start any easier and will certainly shorten that hold's lifespan.
Also, a reminder to PLEASE wait a few days to climb after it rains. The big jug at the top of Hoof and Mouth completely sheared off. Given that it appears to have happened after a couple of good downpours, I have to assume it was done by someone while the rock was still damp. Nice work. Please remember to tread lightly and that this is not the gym. You can't screw on a new hold after the old one breaks. Hopefully no one got hurt busting that off.

Okay, I am sort of freaking out here! There was a shiny thing on my head today and I pulled it out to tragically reveal a... gray hair! :(
Now, I don't really have a problem with gray hair. I just like my color, plus it is a little awkward considering I am 18!!!
I think gray hair is beautiful and all, but at 18? Does this gray hair mean I am going to get more?! Do you guys have any experience with this??? THANKS!
Ehh...it's normal I'm 22...I'm got a bunch sprinkled around. I make my boyfriend pluck them all out...but they just grow right back. :D You've got only one now. You'll probably have a billion by next year. Don't worry :lol: Just joking...relax..it's only a gray...You can always dye it!
Nah, you probably won't get too many more at your age. I got my first grey hair over a year ago, pulled it out, and didn't see any more for over a year. Then recently I found like 5 of them, so now I'm freaking out a little bit. :lol:
okay thanks that makes me feel a lot better. I just don't want to be white at 19! lol. :shock: :D
Oh, I know how you feel! I found my first gray at 16!
I found my first gray at 18 too. I have a few sprinkled all over the place now at 25. Found a hair that's getting ready to turn(it starts looking like a bright auburn color and then turns gray/white).
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unless your family tends to gray early, you most likely won't have any problems.
Ha I found a gray yesterday. I was detangling the back of my hair and out came a wire-y gray! The root was still black. I also have noticed that my hair around my hairline and part is growing in blondish, and my hair is naturally dark brown. I'm sure I'm going to go gray young, my dad went gray in his early 20s and if he didn't dye his hair now his hair would be cotton snow white. So when those grays start to pop up, you can bet I'm following dad's footsteps LOL.
But watch out with all this plucking, remember that old wive's tale, for every white hair you pluck, 5 will grow back in it's place! :lol: :lol:
I wouldn't worry about it. I've been seeing gray hair for over 15 years here and there. I personally think it looks very pretty on some curlies.
I'm 47 and I've been graying since I was in my late 20's. I color my hair dark blonde and my grays look like highlights after coloring so I get off a lot cheaper:)! My natural hair color if I remember correctly is medium brown. I use Loreal Natural Match in dark blonde.

Juan Pablo Montoya and Will Power will share the front row for the IndyCar race at Pocono.
Long Pond, Pa. – Juan Pablo Montoya was the 22nd and final driver to go out in Verizon IndyCar Series qualifying at Pocono Raceway, and he came away with the pole position for Sunday's Pocono INDYCAR 500, setting a new one and two-lap track records in doing so.
The new one –lap standard is 223.920 miles per hour, and the new two-lap record is 223.871 mph. The previous two-lap mark of 221.273 mph and was set by Marco Andretti a year ago.
In total, 11 drivers exceeded the track record.
Driving the PPG Team Penske Chevrolet, Montoya earned his first pole since returning to the series this year and for his IndyCar career, he claimed his 15th pole. His most recent pole came at Gateway (St. Louis) in 2000.
Said the pole winner, "I had no idea what to expect, but his morning we had a good car in race trim. When we first trimmed the car, it was awful, so we made quite a bit of changes for qualifying, and it turned out to be good. The car was a bit of a handful in Turn 3, but it was good through Turn 1. The big thing here is you have to be wide open in Turn 1 and if so, it pays off.
"The big thing for us was balance, and we had a hell of a balance. By running late and if you have good teammates, you can see how much they struggled and you can adjust your car. Will (Power) went out ahead of me, and he told us he did this and that, so I knew before I started where to go. Will and Helio (Castroneves) were more trimmed out than I was.
Power was a tick of the clock slower at 223.725 mph in the Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. He went out four spots ahead of Montoya and held the provisional pole until his teammate topped him.
"I probably lifted a little too much in Turn 1," Power said. "I knew Montoya was going to be tough to beat. They ran a little more downforce."
Carlos Munoz put one of four Andretti Autosport Honda's in the third-fastest slot with Takuma Sato timing fourth fastest in another Honda. Row three qualifiers were two more Andretti drivers, Marco Andretti and James Hinchcliffe.
Castroneves and Ton Kanaan were seventh and eighth fastest with 2014 Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay and Ryan Briscoe rounding out the top-10 qualifiers.
Of the top-10 qualifiers, five had Chevrolet-powered cars and five were in Honda-powered cars. 2013 Pocono winner Scott Dixon qualified 15th fastest. Josef Newgarden crashed while qualifying, and he will start 21st.
Rookie Jack Hawksworth crashed the Integrity Energee Drink Honda in practice and was unable to qualify. However, his crew will either repair his car or rollout a back-up car. Hawksworth made hard impact with the Turn 1 SAFER Barrier. After being taken to the medical center, he was checked, released and cleared to drive.
Said the Brit, "We had just put tires on and went into Turn 1 and picked up a big over-steer, and it took us out and I went into the wall. If I thought I was going to stick it into the wall, I would have thought I would have been in Turn 3."

Beauty Tricks for Travel
As a denim fit model, Paige Adams-Geller made a bundle off her butt. Now, with her own jeans line, she relies on brains, beauty loot, and frequent-flier miles. Destination: gorgeous!
The most famous jeans fit model of our time — who earned the nickname "best butt in the business" — is, at 38, nowhere near ready to hang up her thong. During the decade or so that Paige Adams-Geller was working five days a week with back-to-back fittings for denim labels like Guess, 7 For All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and True Religion, she was also pocketing a ton of business savvy. "Designing is as much art as engineering," she says. "I knew I could make jeans that do what women need them to do: lift the rear, elongate the legs, and shrink the hips." That her two-year-old Paige Premium Denim line has fans in Hollywood (like Jessica Alba) as well as in London, Paris, Dubai, and Tokyo is, she thinks, proof of the eternal allure of the L.A. lady. The onetime Miss California personifies West Coast casual luxury and goes so far as to give her denim styles names like Malibu Beach, Melrose, and Hollywood Hills. So how does Adams-Geller maintain that California-girl glow when flying around the world promoting her line, meeting clients, and making appearances on The Tyra Banks Show and Fox & Friends?
Here's what she told us:
1. LAVENDER-SCENTED EYE MASK: "I grew up in Alaska, so during the long summer nights, I always loved blackout masks with lavender inside. The scent calms me."
2. VALERIE BEVERLY HILLS BRONZER: "I apply this all over my face and neck, and it gives me a believable glow-like I've been on vacation even when I haven't."
3. CLÉ DE PEAU UNDEREYE CREAM: "Plane air parches my skin, especially my undereyes, and makes my eyes puffy, so I often carry this on board. I also find it helps minimize fine lines."
4. PHILIP B AFRICAN SHEA BUTTER SHAMPOO: "This hydrating shampoo keeps my hair ultra-soft without weighing it down. For extra softness, I'll follow with Terax's Original Crema Conditioner."
5. OPI ITALIAN LOVE AFFAIR POLISH: "This perfect shade of pink works with all of my summer sandals."
6. LA MER LIP BALM: "I never thought I'd spend this much money [$45] on a lip balm that has no color, but I can put it on at night or on the plane, and it keeps my lips 100 percent moisturized for hours. Plus, the minty taste is great when you're kissing your man!"
7. PAIGE PREMIUM DENIM BLUE HEIGHTS SKINNY JEANS AND A PAUL SMITH CASHMERE WRAP: "These two items have become my travel uniform. They keep me comfortable and cozy while I'm on the plane — and I still look polished when I arrive at my destination."
8. DRIED, UNSWEETENED MANGOS: "These are always in my bag — my healthy pick-me-up."
9. TEAS' TEA: My favorite is Lemongrass. It keeps me hydrated — and I love reading the haiku on the back of the bottle."
10. COLORSCIENCE SUNFORGETTABLE SPF 30 IN ALL CLEAR: "My publicist gave me this before my trip to Las Ventanas Spa in Mexico. It's a fantastic brush-on powder sunscreen, so you never feel greasy by the pool. It's also legal to bring on board the plane!"
11. CARTHUSIA I PROFUMI DI CAPRI: "I always pick up several of these scents when I'm in Italy."
12. BOND NO. 9 CANDLES: "When I'm in New York, I'm constantly on the go, but I always make time to stop in a Bond store. Their Chinatown votive is perfect for in-my-hotel-room meditations."

Meet urgent expenses without any trouble instantlyThere is no need to visit lender stores as entire loan processing happens online here. Get instant funds & solve your money struggles sitting comfortably from your home.
5 minutes are enough to complete application, without a need of faxing documents or personal meetings. The loan process is completely online and highly simple. Best of all, the lenders are actually competing for your business, so relax and wait for their quick response.
While you are still planning how to spend this extra cash you will receive the quotation through phone/email. Understand the deal, read the terms and conditions, which are easy to understand & sign the agreement to have the instant cash transferred.
Simple application & quick approval makes a perfect sense for availing instant money advance. How applying works? Just 5 minutes is all it takes to complete the online application. Not much documents are required to get this easy credit. Confirm information and receive the quotation online. The payday loan amount is then transferred into your bank account usually within an hour.
These loan types are normally classified as type of unsecured personal loans. Many customers who wish to apply for small payday or installment loans without credit check being performed on their financial history can have a peace of mind as many of our lenders avoid credit checks being done on customer details. This helps customers who wish not to deteriorate their credit score with frequent such check requests from financial institutions. So, customers can get all the freedom to manage expenses much earlier than next payday.

The "Lemmy" Documentary Nominated For Award![VIDEO]
The film "Lemmy" is a documentary about Motorhead frontman and bass player Lemmy Kilmister. What makes this an excellent documentary is how close and personal it gets to Lemmy, because of how private of a person he is. The film is packed full of interviews from his rock and roll peers. And now the documentary is up for Classic Rock Magazine's 2011 Film/DVD of the Year. I don't think I would put Motorhead into the category of "Classic Rock." All I know is how much they still continue to do work!!

Asian actor Edison Chen gave evidence to a court in Hong Kong via video-link on Tuesday (24Feb09) at the trial of a man accused of distributing explicit pictures of the actor.
The film star was at the centre of a scandal last year (08) when a tape of him allegedly engaging in sexual acts with a string of different women hit the internet.
The video, which Hong Kong Police say captures 1,300 private shots of Chen with at least half a dozen women, was reported to have been copied by staff at a computer shop when Chen put a faulty laptop in for repair.
Computer technician Ho-Chun Sze has since been charged with stealing the photographs from Chen's computer while servicing the machine and releasing them.
Chen refused to return from the United States to give evidence at the trial, instead providing evidence via video-link from his birthplace of Vancouver, Canada.
And Chen told the court on Tuesday he was the victim of "foul play", adding "I'm quite a private person. This was never meant for anyone else to see. This was a huge shock to me."
Chen told the court he believes the photos were copied from his laptop when he took it to a shop for repairs.
The trial continues.

A YOUNG mother from Milford Haven, who developed a chronic pelvic condition while pregnant with her son, will now be able to get out and about a lot easier.
Natalie Pusalkar, 28, developed Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction three years ago, and has been dependent on a heavy, awkward wheelchair to get around.
In a bid to help give her sister her independent back, Natalie's younger sibling Natasha Davies organised a host of fundraising events to raise money for a new lightweight chair.
Through a sponsored coast path walk, a bake sale and coffee morning, a sponsored 'dry-athon' and other events, Natasha and friends raised more than £3,000 – enough to buy a new chair, and with money left over for an acupuncture course for Natalie. The sisters will also be donating £600 to Cancer Research UK.
Among those making donations were Milford Haven Round Table, who gave £300, and Craig Smith, who raised over £500.
"My sister now has her new wheelchair, which is absolutely amazing, she's now able to take her son to school and out to play without someone to assist," said Natasha.
"We have been overwhelmed with the help and cooperation with our community."
Natasha said the sisters would also like to thank Snowdrop Mobility, Haverfordwest; The Harbourmaster and The Masonic Hall, in Milford Haven; and Paul Casson, Walkability Project Co-ordinator at the Pembrokeshire COAST, and Lee Bridges at Fun-times bouncy castle hire.
Craig is also hosting a charity night at Milford Haven RFC on Saturday, April 12, to raise money for Cancer Research, tickets are £10.

text: John Hemingway Department of HistoryDoctoral researcher Contact details PhD title: The origins, development and influence of William Shenstone's landscape design at the Leasowes, Halesowen Supervisor: Dr Malcolm Dick PhD History Biography My role in academia began in 1976 when I became a history student at Worcester College of Higher Education doing a Bachelor of Education degree. This led to a position as a teacher in a preparatory school for three years, but my wish to be at the forefront of research led to me leaving to becoming an archaeological supervisor in Wiltshire. My subsequent experience in that field led to me doing field work in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Staffordshire and eventually becoming Dudley Borough's Archaeological Officer. This has come to end with my retirement, but the desire to continue finding out more about the past has continued and therefore I have chosen to do a research degree leading to a MPhil /PhD at the University of Birmingham. Research The subject matter of my research is the landscape garden of the eighteenth-century poet and gardener William Shenstone of The Leasowes, Halesowen. The reason for this is threefold: to begin with I taught, as a second subject, English Literature while I was teaching. This included poetry and I particularly liked the rural poets (I have lived in a rural community for the last 38 years which may account for this) and secondly having an acre of ground in my garden taught me to be a gardener. So I thought it very pertinent for a gardener to study a gardener! When I became Dudley's Archaeological Officer I monitored and performed a number of excavations at William Shenstone's home at The Leasowes, which is now a Registered Park and Garden, and became rather fixated on the man so much so that I have written a biography of him (not yet published). When I started to study him in some detail I realised that there was much more to him than appeared in written accounts and therefore, with the assistance my supervisor, Dr Malcolm Dick, I intend to find out more about his work as one of the leading proponents of the ferme ornée – the ornamental farm in England, Europe and America.

Last Sunday, I presented the church at West View with our motto text for 2012 – and since this is Olympic year, we chose a text to fit.
The Bible is full of texts that allude to athletics and various ancient sporting endeavours, but I settled on Romans 8:37 as the text to carry us through the year. Mainly I think because it is less about the "pushing towards some goal" of other texts and more about God's action and the powerful, conquering love of Jesus.
The Greek word translated "conquerers" in Rom 8:37 has its root in the word "nike" which may be familiar to some of you. It means victory and there was also a winged greek goddess of the same name. hypernikōmen is translated in most bibles something like "more than conquerers" and perhaps could be read "more than gold medal winners"!
If you don't believe me you can check the wonderful online Greek-English interlinear bible.

Allifah, S. and Idrus, S. M. and Kassim, N. M. (2008) Better performance of optical transmitter using feedforward linearisation system for multi service operation in radio over fiber links. In: IEEE Photonics Global@Singapore2008, 2008, Nan Yang Technological University.

Due to increasing the demand for multiservice operation and hence broadband access, the reliable and cost effective communication systems that can support anytime, anywhere, any media are needed. Radio over fiber technology is able to alleviate the increasing demand for high-bandwidth services but suffer from performance degradation due to the issue of noise and interference. A feedforward linearisation system is a powerful technique that prefers because can reduce the broadband distortion in microwave/millimeter wave frequencies, reduce the all orders of distortion and the laser relative intensity noise (RIN) simultaneously. This paper investigated the proposed design of feedforward linearisation system of directly modulated laser diode for radio over fiber application at frequency range 5 - 5.8 GHz. The simulation result of the system shows that the simultaneous reduction of IMD3 achieved up to 30 dB and RIN reduction up to 20 dB at frequency with 800 MHz bandwidth linearization. Likewise, the spurious free dynamic range of system was enhanced. In conclusion, the proposed system was suitable for multiservice radio over fiber system with operating frequency range 5-5.8 GHz.

|2,000 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|6 - 7 nights
7 private acres on Meddybemps Lake, Alexander, Maine backed by 300+ acres of conservation land. Property has its own sandy beach extending far into the lake (one of few natural freshwater beaches in Maine). Year round residence built in 2003 has right to use adjacent 300+ acres of conservation land private to neighborhood. Kayaks equipped for four paddlers (one double and two singles). Home has two upstairs bedrooms with double beds with shared full bath and downstairs bedroom with kingsize bed and private bath. Eat-in screened sunporch. Gas fireplace. Handicapped friendly (first floor bedroom and bathroom, lever door handles, wheelchair wide doorways and ramp access to house, second floor staircase dual railings to help with balance).
Fall foliage and winter cross country skiing and ice fishing.
Jean, one of the owners, grew up spending vacations on the lake. A favorite spot of hers, and her father and his brothers before her was a remote sandy beach you could only access by boat. When the property came up for sale many years later, she and her husband Rob bought it. Working with a local conservation group, the character of the land has been preserved, but now the beach is a short walk away - and private to their property. It's a very quiet spot, and remains, to many, the loveliest spot on the lake.
Great swimming and boating. Gas grill and picnic table, hammock and beach chairs on beach. Kayaks are provided or bring your own boat and beach it on the white sand. Eat-in heated sunporch. Grocery stores, golf, hospital, restaurants 15 minutes away. Fish for bass (no limit), landlocked salmon, or white perch. Ice cream stand and restaurant 1.8 miles away. Championship golf course at world famous Algonquin Resort in St. Andrews, NB, CA, 45 minutes away, is open to the public. 15 minutes to Calais Golf Course. Located in the St. Croix River Valley, there are numerous river and lake trips minutes away. Two border crossings into New Brunswick Canada are 15 minutes away.
Jean and Rob like to kayak, cross country ski, hike, and read. Both are Mainers by birth and choice. Jean is a retired engineer currently teaching mathematics at the high school and college level. Rob is a semi-retired attorney. Rob is originally from northern Maine and Jean's family is from the area where the cottage is located. Shown in photograph are Jean and Rob and their three kids, Sonya (daughter-in-law), David, and Robby. David is a chef, Sonya a veterinarian and Robby a hospital manager. All love Maine, but jobs have taken them away ;-(
Jean or Rob Lawlis purchased this house in 2003
Meddybemps Lake is where Jean's grandparents built a cottage in the 1920s and where both she and her father spent many happy summers growing up.
Traditional summer vacation spot. Lovely in the fall. A winter wonderland with Ice fishing, cross country skiing.
Had a wonderful stay on Meddybemps. The house was very clean with many conveniences. Highlights were the lake, private beach, use of kayaks, and having wi-fi. Neighbors on one side, but you cannot actually see them, so we had lots of privacy. Great lake for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Would highly recommend this place for a quiet vacation spot!
Pictures do not do this property justice! The home is very large and well laid-out for privacy between guests. The water is just a few steps away, with a soft sandy beach on a private little cove. Our two little dogs had the time of their lives and didn't want to leave!! The home was very well equipped, with closets and drawers in each room for our clothing and extra bedding just in case. The kitchen has every single appliance, utensil, cook and bakeware imaginable. Even a coffee grinder and French press! And the Lawlis' even provide a large variety of pantry items, should we have forgotten anything. The only downfall were the mosquitoes - but even this the owners had prepared us for with a variety of bug sprays, citronella candles, even one of those big zappers to help keep them at bay. Even though we were in town to work, this lovely home made our stay feel more like a vacation. We look forward to staying again the next time we are in town!
My fiancé, and I along with our two Wheaten Terriers just returned from a very relaxing week on Meddybemp cottage. The cottage was well represented and all the basic supplies needed were there. My dogs enjoyed swimming and loved the freedoms of being able to run around all day without being leashed.
Internet, cell phone service were not very good. The TV did not get any stations, but we rented movies at night from the convenience store down the road. For us it as a nice break from the busy corporate lives we live. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a place to relax without technology for a week. We feel so relaxed after our week on the lake.
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to stay at your home
The house was exactly as pictured. We enjoyed the sandy lake; the water was crystal clear, fishing was good, and we especially enjoyed the supplied kayak's.
The house required about 4 hours of cleaning prior to using the facility which was a huge inconvenience after driving 11 hours to get there.
Be prepared if going in July with plenty of bug spray. The mosquitos were relentless.
I would recommend going to Cutler (do not take Rt 1) to get Lobsters from Little River Lobster Company. We purchased enough for the week and enjoyed them fresh out of the water.
The Nook and Cranny Resturant is a must as the food was perfect and the environment quaint.
Thank you for the stay Meddybemps Lake.
The cottage was exactly as described by the advertisement.
There was even more special attentions, as a GPS, the provision of canoes, a coffee machine very useful, lots of information on things to do and places to visit in surroundings…
Everything was very well maintained and clean, we enjoyed our vacation immediately.
The owners were very helpful, efficient and very caring. We have not had the chance to meet us, but everything was perfect and very professional. I hope to return soon to the cottage of Jean and Rob, and I already recommended this place to all my friends in France and the USA.
There is a small equestrian center 2 miles away from the cottage (city of Alexander) where my daughter stinks horseback riding with the owner named Audrey. This is a friendly place and Audrey is a very nice person.
We also found in Eastport (7 Sea Street, ME 04631) A place where You Could buy very good lobsters and eat them in front of the ocean on nice picnic area, for a great price. This is the Quoddy Bay Lobster.
Finally those who love fishing can have fun with a direct and private access to the lake, but also on the ocean located 30 minutes from the cottage.
Everything was perfect and it was very hard to leave...
Expecting a cottage, I was pleasantly surprised at the spacious, sunny home I found. It was well equipped and comfortable, with large bedrooms and baths. The upstairs can be shut off by a door for privacy. The location is sheltered--one cannot see neighbors though they can at times be heard. The sandy beach and the view up the lake draw one to sit there in the shade or to kayak or swim in the lake. There are nearby towns and places to explore, including the seacost town of Calais. A nearby restaurant, the "Nook and Cranny," offers surprisingly fine dining. I hope to return and would certainly recommend this place.
Lakefront. Private natural fine white sand beach on property. Surrounded by forest. Large clear lake. Cross country skiing and ice-fishing in winter. In Summer, swim, paddle or fish (salmon, bass, white perch, lake trout, or pickerel). Nearby shopping in border towns Calais and St. Stephen, NB, Canada. Scenic Bay of Fundy, Campobello Island (summer home of Franklin Roosevelt), and St. Andrews Grand Hotel, golf, and shops within 45 minute drive. Use of adjacent 300+ acres of private conservation land with hiking trail.
Websites below provide more information.

Bruins in midst of trimming roster
Growing close to game time here at the Garden, where the Bruins will face the Jackets in the final pre-season tuneup for both squads.
The Bruins will skate tonight without Marco Sturm, Steve Begin and David Krejci–three forwards who will be regulars with the varsity this season. Strum and Begin are nursing minor training camp injuries while Krejci is still making his way back from off-season hip surgery.
Johnny Boychuk, who will skate in the warmup, will be the lone scratch on defense. He is expected to make the varsity as the No. 7 defenseman.
Coach Claude Julien, noting that management was going through the process of trimming the roster "right now", said that the club intended to "cut down to a smaller [roster] number by tomorrow."

President Higgins Invited To Receive Civic Reception From Limerick County Council
A Civic Reception will be held in honour of President of Ireland Michael D Higgins at Limerick County Hall in Dooradoyle in April.
Limerick County Council issued an invitation to the President last month after Councillor Tomas Hannon's (LAB) motion was unanimously support by the local authority's 27 other elected members. The date of the Civic Reception is expected to be confirmed in the coming fortnight.
Cllr. Mary Harty, Cathaoirleach of Limerick County Council, said she looked forward to welcoming the President and his wife to Limerick County Hall.
She continued: "Limerick County Council is delighted that the President pkyp has accepted its invitation to attend a Civic Reception in his honour. While he was born in Limerick, President Higgins was raised in County Clare and spent much of his adult life in Galway. However, the President continues to visit the City and County on a regular basis".
"In hosting a Civic Reception in honour of President Michael D. Higgins, the Council also is recognising the Office of the President of Ireland and all those who have represented the country with distinction. A Civic Reception is the highest accolade at the disposal of Limerick County Council for any individual, group or organisation and one that is, for President Higgins, thoroughly deserved", stated the Cathaoirleach.

Luckily, preemptive coros don't do that. Everything still runs in one process, one coro at a time. Just passing control from one coro to another can happen implicitly, so blocking code that isn't under your control is not a problem anymore.
Yes, currently you will have to explicitly cede control to the other coroutines regularly. However, Yuval is currently trying to get his patch implementing preemptive coros merged into Coro. Those allow control to be automatically passed to other Coros using different strategies like opcode counting and fixed timeslices. That'd at least solve one of the problems you're describing.
All MooseX::Declare does to not require you to unimport all Moose keywords (and possibly other imports) is
use namespace::clean -except => 'meta';
to remove all previously defined and imported functions (except for the 'meta' method Moose gives you) at the end of compile time. No need to wait for anything.
MooseX::Declare provides similar features. The class keyword only accepts a block with the class definition right now, but i'm also working on implementing "class Foo;" using B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange.

The concerned authorities seem to have no recent updates about the committee and its work.
According to various blood bank members, NGOs and civil hospitals the problem of blood scarcity crops up because there is no plan drawn up for voluntarily donation camps. Considering this, the District Voluntarily Blood Donation Committee was formed to coordinate donation efforts and chalk out a plan for blood donation camps so that adequate blood will be available throughout the year.
Being May, various educational institutes either have examinations or holidays and majority the blood donation drive has come to a standstill. "Youngsters are the ones who give blood easily. Being examination or holiday time they are busy with other interests," said DG Kulkarni, medical superintendent of Sassoon General Hospital. Rohila Mule form the Jankalyan Blood bank said, "There is scarcity of blood this month. Presently, we are facing shortage of blood groups A, B and AB both positive and negative."
Other blood banks are also facing a scarcity of blood of various blood groups.
Out for blood
Vinayak More, civil surgeon, and a part of District Voluntarily Blood Donation Committee, said, "Our metro blood bank work is in progress. Once that is done there will be enough blood."
When asked about the committee, he said, "We are working on blood scarcity issue, and considering complaints from thalassemia patients. I will get back to you later about the committee."

Beauty Buzz: Get Rid of That Ruddy Complexion
What exactly is a "ruddy complexion"? Plethora or a ruddy complexion is characteristic of PV and results from the marked increase in red blood cell production. There are few things that you can do for this type of imperfection. Dermatologists recommend that you use yellow- or green-tinted makeup to hide red highlights, without looking heavily made-up. The other option is to have some of the ruddiness and blood vessels lasered away. Current technology makes this rather simple, safe, and not too expensive (in the few-hundred-dollar range.) But, if you're thinking low-tech, here are some options for you.
I found two products that came highly recommended. The first is LaurEss Mineral Enhancer Organza. LaurEss mineral enhancers can correct uneven tones, liven up a dull complexions, or counteract ruddiness. This product is a sheer yellow, light-as-air enhancer with a soft matte finish. It is available for $18.00 at www.amazon.com.
More on how to get rid of that ruddy complexion after the jump.
The next product is NARS Balanced Foundation. Traditionally, most sufferers of PV will want to purchase the color Sahara, since that shade is specifically designed for medium tones with a ruddy complexion. For ultimate, skin-caring benefits, NARS foundations are developed with Panthenol and Vitamins A, D and E to moisturize and rejuvenate the texture and appearance of the skin, while providing incredible, lasting coverage. The NARS balanced foundation will help smooth fine lines and imperfections without ever appearing heavy on the skin. This product is available for $40.00 at www.beauty.com.
I hope that helps a little bit, however, before you try any of these products on your own, please talk to a dermatologist or a skincare professional. We all have different skin tones and body chemistry. What might be right for one person may not work for another. Thanks for your question!

The Right Stuffby Tom Wolfe
The Right Stuff is Tom Wolfe's deft account of a cast of heroes, introduced to America with the explosion of space exploration in the romantic heyday of the 20th century and encapsulated in Neal Armstrong's "one giant step for mankind." Beginning with the first experiments with manned space flight in the 1940s, remembering the feats of Chuck Yeager and the breaking of the sound barrier, and focusing in on the brave pilots of the Mercury Project, Wolfe's ability to marry historical fact with dramatic intensity is nowhere more evident than in The Right Stuff. <P><P> Winner of the National Book Award
The Purple Decadesby Tom Wolfe
The Purple Decades brings together the author's own selections from his list of acclaimed publications, including the text of Mau-Mauing and the Flak Catchers, and his account of the wild games the poverty program encouraged minority groups to play.
The Pump House Gangby Tom Wolfe
Tom Wolfe's second collection (1968) takes it title from a redoubtable surfing elite, many of whom abandoned the beach for the psychedelic indoor sports of the late sixties. Wolfe here continues his fieldwork among noble savages, from La Jolla to London.
New York Storiesby Tom Wolfe
The magazine that is the city that is the world. Just in time for its fortieth anniversary, New York magazine presents a stunning collection of some of its best and most influential articles, stories that captured the spectacle, the turbulence, and the cultural realignments of the past four decades. Covering subjects from "Radical Chic" to Gawker.com, written by some of the country's most renowned authors, here are works that broke news, perfectly captured the moment, or set trends in motion. In New York Stories, Gloria Steinem (whose Ms. Magazine was introduced in New York) broaches the subject of women's liberation; Tom Wolfe coins "The Me Decade"; and Steve Fishman piercingly portrays the unwanted martyrdom of the 9/11 widows. Cutting edge features that invented terms like "brat pack" and "grup"; profiles of defining cultural figures including Joe Namath, Truman Capote, and long-shot presidential candidate Bill Clinton; and reports that inspired the acclaimed movies Saturday Night Fever, GoodFellas, and Grey Gardens-all are included in this one-of-a-kind compilation.The writers who chronicled the times that began with Nixon's campaign and end with Obama's are at their best in New York Stories. It's an irresistible anthology from a magazine that, like the city itself, is still making stars, setting standards, and going strong.
The Kingdom of Speechby Tom Wolfe
The maestro storyteller and reporter provocatively argues that what we think we know about speech and human evolution is wrong.Tom Wolfe, whose legend began in journalism, takes us on an eye-opening journey that is sure to arouse widespread debate. THE KINGDOM OF SPEECH is a captivating, paradigm-shifting argument that speech--not evolution--is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements.From Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern-day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard-wired in humans, Wolfe examines the solemn, long-faced, laugh-out-loud zig-zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and finds it irrelevant here in the Kingdom of Speech.

I Am Charlotte Simmonsby Tom Wolfe
Book Jacket DUPONT UNIVERSITY-the Olympian halls of learning housing the cream of America's youth, the roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns suffused with tradition... Or so it appears to beautiful, brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a wide-eyed, bookish freshman from a strict, devout, poor and poorly educated family in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. But Charlotte soon learns, to her mounting dismay, that for the upper-crust coeds of Dupont, sex, Cool, and kegs trump her towering academic ambitions every time. As Charlotte encounters the paragons of Dupont's privileged elite - her roommate, Beverly, a Groton-educated Brahmin in lusty pursuit of lacrosse players; Jojo Johanssen, the only white starting player on Dupont's godlike basketball team, whose position is threatened by a hotshot black freshman from the projects; the Young Turk of Saint Ray fraternity, Hoyt Thorpe, whose sense of entitlement and social domination is clinched by his accidental brawl with a bodyguard for the governor of California; and Adam Gellin, one of the Millennial Mutants who run the university's "independent" newspaper and who consider themselves the last bastion of intellectual endeavor on the sex-crazed, jock-obsessed campus -she is seduced by the heady glamour of acceptance, betraying her values and upbringing before she grasps the power of being different and the exotic allure of her innocence. With his celebrated eye for telling detail, Tom Wolfe draws on extensive observation of campuses across the country to immortalize college life in the '00s. I Am Charlotte Simmons is the latest triumph of America's master social novelist, our spot-on chronicler of the way we live now.

Declining by Degreesby Tom Wolfe John Merrow Richard H. Hersh
What is actually happening on college campuses in the years between admission and graduation? Not enough to keep America competitive, and not enough to provide our citizens with fulfilling lives.When A Nation at Risk called attention to the problems of our public schools in 1983, that landmark report provided a convenient "cover" for higher education, inadvertently implying that all was well on America's campuses.Declining by Degrees blows higher education's cover. It asks tough--and long overdue--questions about our colleges and universities. In candid, coherent, and ultimately provocative ways, Declining by Degrees reveals:- how students are being short-changed by lowered academic expectations and standards;-why many universities focus on research instead of teaching and spend more on recruiting and athletics than on salaries for professors;-why students are disillusioned;-how administrations are obsessed with rankings in news magazines rather than the quality of learning;-why the media ignore the often catastrophic results; and-how many professors and students have an unspoken "non-aggression pact" when it comes to academic effort.Declining by Degrees argues persuasively that the multi-billion dollar enterprise of higher education has gone astray. At the same time, these essays offer specific prescriptions for change, warning that our nation is in fact at greater risk if we do nothing.
The Bonfire of the Vanitiesby Tom Wolfe
Set in New York City, a place combining ethnic diversity, fights to be at the top of society as well as poverty and many living corrupt lives. The main settings range from the civilized world of busy 5th Avenue and Central park, to the very different atmosphere of the Bronx - the tale combines how 2 such different types of living within the same area are so unable to coexist with each other, a story of what occurs when they do. An arrogant investment banker from Wall Street is out and misses his turn while driving his Mercedes and injures a young black youth. This was just the beginning of his problems - it was like he had stepped into another world, the only similarity between the two cultures seemed to be by using the same foul language commonly, and the love for young women. An entertaining novel showing how the comparatively small New York City is a pure example of how the system has failed - how people disobey the law, treat each other socially and how many today generally behave.
Beat Cop to Top Copby Tom Wolfe John F. Timoney
Born in a rough-and-tumble neighborhood of Dublin, John F. Timoney moved to New York with his family in 1961. Not long after graduating from high school in the Bronx, he entered the New York City Police Department, quickly rising through the ranks to become the youngest four-star chief in the history of that department. Timoney and the rest of the command assembled under Police Commissioner Bill Bratton implemented a number of radical strategies, protocols, and management systems, including CompStat, that led to historic declines in nearly every category of crime. In 1998, Mayor Ed Rendell of Philadelphia hired Timoney as police commissioner to tackle the city's seemingly intractable violent crime rate. Philadelphia became the great laboratory experiment: Could the systems and policies employed in New York work elsewhere? Under Timoney's leadership, crime declined in every major category, especially homicide. A similar decrease not only in crime but also in corruption marked Timoney's tenure in his next position as police chief of Miami, a post he held from 2003 to January 2010.Beat Cop to Top Cop: A Tale of Three Cities documents Timoney's rise, from his days as a tough street cop in the South Bronx to his role as police chief of Miami. This fast-moving narrative by the man Esquire magazine named "America's Top Cop" offers a blueprint for crime prevention through first-person accounts from the street, detailing how big-city chiefs and their teams can tame even the most unruly cities.Policy makers and academicians have long embraced the view that the police could do little to affect crime in the long term. John Timoney has devoted his career to dispelling this notion. Beat Cop to Top Cop tells us how.
Back to Bloodby Tom Wolfe
A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now.As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay-with officer Nestor Camacho on board-Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day, loin lock by night-until lately, the love of Nestor's life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the 'hoods, "de-skilled" conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, "spectators" at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night's orgy, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, BACK TO BLOOD is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.

MORE than a dozen schools across the Keighley district are scheduled to close on Thursday – and others partially shut – due to strike action.
Members of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) are among public sector workers taking part in a walkout.
The GMB union and UNISON, which both represent council and non-teaching school staff, and the Public and Commercial Services Union are also involved.
The action is over below-inflation pay rises, conditions and pensions in public sector jobs.
Keighley-area schools currently confirmed as closing are Beechcliffe, Cullingworth, Denholme, Eastburn, Harden, Haworth, Laycock, Long Lee, Merlin Top, Nessfield, Parkside, Parkwood, Phoenix and Wilsden.
Planning to partially close are Aire View, Holycroft, Keighley St Andrew's, Oakbank, Oakworth and Strong Close Nursery School & Children's Centre.
Two schools in the South Craven area also announced they would be shut – Cononley Primary and Sutton CP School.
Ian Murch, Bradford district's NUT spokesman, said the strike had been timed to avoid any school exams.
He added: "We were originally going to be striking earlier, but when other unions that represent school staff were planning on striking on the 10th we decided that rather than have two different days of disruption on schools we'd have it on the same day.
"We didn't want to strike when exams were on."
He said that as well as pay rises that did not match inflation, the NUT was striking over increasing pressures on teachers – which have seen some primary teachers working 60 hours a week.
A Bradford Council spokesman said it would be up to individual schools and their governors whether they opened.
Schools will inform parents if they are shutting, and details will be included on the council website.

FC Dallas returns home this Saturday to host last year's MLS Supporters' Shield winners, the San Jose Earthquakes.
San Jose comes into this match with one win in its last five games. In fact, most of the Earthquakes' results this season have ended in a draw. The Quakes are 3-4-6 on the season and are currently tied with Seattle for sixth place in the Western Conference.
Last week, Frank Yallop's team was at home against Colorado and had to battle back thanks to a Marvin Chavez free kick to tie the Rapids, 1-1.
In 2012, the Earthquakes got the better of FC Dallas, going 1-0-2 on the three game series with the lone win coming at home in the middle of July.
Injury Watch
Yallop spent most of the early part of this season dealing with injuries to key guys like former FC Dallas midfielder Marvin Chavez, defender Jason Hernandez, and forwards Alan Gordon and Stephen Lenhart.
Now the injury report for the Quakes mostly sees role players or guys further down the depth charts. Defender Nana Attakora has been dealing with concussion symptoms; midfielder Brad Ring has been out with a knee sprain; and first round SuperDraft pick Tommy Muller has been out with back spasms.
Key Matchup
Sam Cronin vs David Ferreira – Should Schellas Hyndman reinsert Ferreira back into the Dallas lineup, he'll go up against a young and feisty player in Cronin. He's a guy that loves to battle and typically does well at frustrating other players into mistakes. What makes Cronin tough to deal with is the fact that he doesn't commit too many fouls and he doesn't get booked that much.
Key Player for San Jose
Chris Wondolowski – The 2012 MLS MVP has been a terror for FC Dallas in the past. He's scored three goals in the last five meetings against FCD. Wondo always seems to find a way to create chances or put himself into a position to finish other player's chances. He currently has five goals on the season, which seems like a far cry from his 27-goal output in 2012, but he leads the league in total shots with 52 (19 of which were on target).
Projected Lineup
Yallop uses a very simple and traditional 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper: Jon Busch; RB: Steven Beitashour; CB: Victor Bernardez, Jason Hernandez; LB: Justin Morrow; RM: Marvin Chavez; CM: Sam Cronin, Rafael Baca; LM: Walter Martinez; FW: Chris Wondolowski, Alan Gordon
Keys to three points
San Jose is a team you can never quite count out of a match. So many times already this season they have found a way to battle back late in a match to get a win or a draw.
The last few weeks have been shaky for San Jose though. Only one win out of five with three draws may sound alright on paper, but given the way the club performed in those matches is a whole other story. The majority of those games, except for the 4-0 loss at Seattle, the Earthquakes had to battle from behind to get points. In other words, this San Jose team does not respond well early in matches.
FC Dallas will want to pack on the pressure early in this one, similar to what we saw out of Seattle against San Jose two weeks ago. Applying the pressure from the wings to spread this San Jose defense out is always a good move. San Jose does not defend well from the wings and are prone to mistakes in the back when dealing with speed.
Where Dallas has to be careful is with the long balls that San Jose likes to run on their offense. The Quakes love to do the "dump and chase" style of offense with Wondo and either Gordon or Lenhart. They love to battle up front and cause defensive miscues due to their physical play.
This is a game that FC Dallas has to control from start to finish. They've done well at home this year, but this isn't a game they can relax in. If they play to their strengths up front and are calm and collected in the back, they'll end the night with another three points.

They've only been in the house a couple of days but already bookies have released their predictions for the winner of this summer's Celebrity Big Brother!
The housemates entered their Channel 5 home on Wednesday night (August 15) with revelations and fights already in full force. But who is the early favourite to emerge as the winner? Well according to the bookies, it's comedian Julian Clary!
Most bookies have priced the 53-year-old at 5/2 with second favourite being former EastEnders actor and Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp, who took an early lead but has fallen back slightly in the last day or so.
Soap star Cheryl Ferguson is third on odds of around 5/1, while Coleen Nolan is close behind her on 11/2.
The odds improve quickly after that with Corrie actress Julie Goodyear on 12/1 and MC Harvey on odds as long as 22/1. Unsurprisingly Daily Mail journalist Samantha Brick brings up the rear with the longest odds, of 100/1, while Jasmine Lennard is not far behind on 66/1.
Meanwhile last night the celebrities were faced with their first major task as they found out they had to nominate face-to-face. The shocked housemates were asked to nominate the celebrities they wanted to see leave. Jasmin and Rhian ended up with the most votes and will face the public this weekend.
So who do you reckon will win? Check out our round-up of the housemates here and let us know what you think of the line-up so far!

Baby Clothing Sizes
This is a spinoff from the "If you knew then" thread." What size clothes would you all recommend starting off with? Big babies (8-10 lbs) run in both sides of our family, and although I know that's no guarantee, I really don't want to get a bunch of clothes that will only last a week.
We're not finding out the sex, so I want to just start off with some basics like onesies and sleep 'n plays, and then get more after the baby's born.
Honestly, I would get a few of newborn and 0-3 things and only wash a few pieces of each so that you have something in each size to bring the baby home in but don't waste a of clothes if the baby doesn't fit the smaller sizes. Then once the baby is here, wash everything and pick up some more things that you know for sure will fit.
My son was on track to be a larger baby but then he came early and I didn't have any preemie or newborn sizes. Everyone had to scramble to get him a few things that didn't fall right off of him. I kicked myself several times about that even though it wasn't my fault.
I never used newborn sizes and he was just over 7 lbs - I think for most babies born in the appropriate time frame the 0-3 month size would be fine. If the baby comes early or is tiny, you could always ask someone to get you a couple of preemie or newborn outfits. Honestly, I wouldn't buy too much clothing because you will probably get a ton of gifts and hand-me-downs - I have more than my son could ever wear without me adding to it by buying more! If for some reason your friends and family don't come through, then you could buy some (it's a pain to shop with a newborn sometimes so then you could order on-line or send someone.) They really only need sleepers and onesies in the first few days anyway.
We had some newborn sizes, but Harry was 8 lb, 13 oz, so he only wore them a few times. 0-3 is a good bet. You could get one package of newborn onesies, just in case. They grow out of things so fast! We're already in the 9-12 month range.
DS was 8 pounds 9 ounces when he was born (50th percentile apparently) and stayed in the 0-3 month & 3 month stuff for a while. He's not a big guy and as posted in a previous thread - has been a slow weight gainer.
He's 16 months now and wears 12 month clothes and often needs a belt with his pants.
I think 0-3 are fine.
Looking back, the most useful things were footed pajamas with zippers instead of snaps, and kimono type tops - not onesies. I changed him so often that my index finger and thumb started to feel sore from snapping and unsapping all the time. Zippers are definitely easier and kimono tops paired with diapers + babylegs would have done well for me.
Yup. The baby legs were great. The only exception was when he got older and liked to flail around when I took his diaper off after a big bowel movement. I've learned that distracting him with a toy or something to hold keeps him from spreading his poo all over the place.
I do like onesies and other one-piece outfits for small babies because when you hold them (or especially when you wear them), a regular shirt tends to ride up a lot. If I put a regular shirt on Sol, I put a onesie on underneath.
My daughter is pretty big and she just grew out of 0-3 months at about 3 months. The newborn stuff fit her at first, but the 0-3 is a better bet.
Chas was 8lbs 7 ounces and we had one newborn outfit just in case he was smaller than planned. I returned it...he wore 0-3 months from the beginning.
There's just no way to know. My boys were big babies, so newborn sizes(diapers and clothes) were a total waste of time. But Paloma was very tiny. Even at 18 months she wasn't into 18 month sizes. :lol: She's turning 6 next month and is just now starting to grow out of 4T sizes. All I can say is to buy some newborn and 0-3 months clothing, but keep the tags on and return the newborn stuff if it turns out you don't need it.
I wish I would have bought a smaller size for his take home outfit. It was newborn 0-3 months, and despite him being average size, 7 lb 8 oz and 21 inches, it swallowed him. The pants came up to his armpits and then some, the little sweater came down to his knees. It looked ridiculous. We ended up taking the picture in just his onsie which was still a bit baggy here's the pic
newborn size worked for us for a very long time. through the 1st 3 months. she was average size (7lbs 3 oz. 21 inches) and even her newborn clothes swallowerd her up. shes 7 months old now and wears 6 month clothes.
not sure when youre due, but my summer baby rarely wore anything other than onesies/short sleeved bodysuits.
I had mostly 0-3 month clothes. I bought a newborn size outfit to take him home in, but he didn't fit in it. :lol:
I like the snaps too. Since you are having a summer baby, I would buy I package of newborn onesies. That way, you have it if you need it, if you don't, you are not out a ton of money. When we brought Steven home, he was 7 lbs (i think), 0-3 month clothes SWAM on him (but we used them when we needed to)
Old Navy (and i believe gap) has a little bundle section (check out the web sites) What they post is honestly all you need to start out with (we still use them as basics)
Although Steven is skinny at 15 months (19 lbs 10 oz) he is tall at almost 29 inches, so we have to bump him up to 12-18 month clothes. He ALWAYS has height issues with his clothing.
As for sizes, I would get a few newborn items, but mostly the 0 to 3 month sizes. My kids were both over 8 lbs and 22 inches long, they grew out of the newborn stuff pretty fast, but they did wear them for only the first week or so.

Corent Attains IBM's Cloud Specialty Designation
Corent Technology has become the first cloud specialty technology provider partner to meet the rigorous certification criteria for the IBM Cloud Specialty designation. A specialist in SaaS enablement software, Corent Technology, provides a proven and disruptive alternative to the expensive virtualization strategies often used for SaaS deployment.
Corent notes that Qualified Cloud Specialty Partners provide IBM Business Partners and enterprise clients with enabling technologies to help them use the cloud more effectively.
"Corent Technology, one of our best IBM cloud partners, has a solution to quickly transform single-tenant software applications into multi-tenant SaaS solutions without rewriting the existing application. If you are dealing with the decision of how to get to a multi-tenant model be sure you talk to them," according to Mike Riegel, vice president at IBM.
Corent offers a unique Multi-Tenant Server (MTS) that easily plugs into conventional single-tenant software applications to transform them into cloud-ready Multi-tenant SaaS solutions.
This MTS solution can enable the efficient sharing of an application and its database among many customers (tenants). MTS also ensures that customers only have access to their own data and processes. The multi-tenant application resulting from this effort promises to provide significant economies of scale and also enables the vendor to deliver their SaaS solution at a significantly lower cost.
"Corent is committed to helping ISVs deliver highly scalable and cost-effective multi-tenant SaaS solutions on IBM infrastructure. We are excited to be the first IBM partner to qualify for this prestigious IBM Cloud Specialty designation," said Feyzi Fatehi, the CEO of Corent.
The first multi-tenant SaaS application for Home Healthcare running on the IBM SmartCloud will be showcased at the Information On Demand 2011 Conference on October 23-27 in Las Vegas.
Running on Corent's Multi-Tenant Server platform, this advanced SaaS solution will leverage IBM WebSphere Application Server and DB2 in the IBM SmartCloud.
