More landlords in San Diego County are raising rents or considering doing so in response to a slowly mending economy. Hiring has seen an uptick and the stock market is heating up.
"The economy has gotten better and people are more optimistic," said Stuart Posnock, chief executive of Garden Communities in San Diego. The company is building what will be a 2,100-unit apartment development off Interstate 15 in Mira Mesa.
Still, many property managers and owners are approaching possible rent hikes with caution.
Annual growth in rental rates, which hit 6 percent a decade ago, has now slowed to 2 percent. The slowed pace is largely due to increasing competition from the for-sale housing market. Near rock-bottom mortgage rates and rising real estate prices are drawing out once-sidelined buyers.
Property managers of older complexes face the challenge of competing with new units offering perks — from cooking classes to a future bowling alley — that may lure away their tenants.
All of those factors have contributed to "more of a balanced market" for both tenants and landlords, who appear to have equal pull on rents, said Russ Valone, a housing analyst at MarketPointe Realty Advisors in San Diego.
"I think there has been a breather in the marketplace," Valone added.
Did your rent go up this year?
Yes. 55% (129)
No. 45% (104)
233 total votes.
Here's a Q&A of what tenants and landlords need to know about the current rental market:
Q: Where are rents in the county?
A: They averaged $1,388 in March, up 2 percent from the same time a year ago, based on MarketPointe Realty Advisors' most recent analysis.
Q: Where is the vacancy rate?
A: The vacancy rate hit 4.71 percent in March, up slightly from 4.45 percent the same time a year ago, MarketPointe numbers show. The vacancy rate was consistently in the 2 percent range in the late 1990s to the early 2000s. It peaked at 5.26 percent in March 2009 -- matching a similar high in September 2007.
Q: Why did the vacancy rate go up from a year ago?
A: Because more units came onto the market. About 10 new projects came online in the past year, releasing nearly 1,800 units, MarketPointe's study shows. That's the most the county has seen in new apartment supply since 2008, when 2,100 units were added, said Valone, of MarketPointe. MarketPointe estimates 4,000 rentals are currently being built throughout the county, with many of those projects expected to open this year.
Q: What does the vacancy rate mean?
A: Despite increased supply, the vacancy rate — the percentage of unoccupied rental units — has remained steady because of increased rental demand. Why? The housing market has become increasingly competitive. Home-sale listings have hit at least a three-year low, meaning buyers are competing for limited supply. And don't forget about the tens of thousands of borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure since the housing crash. Many of those people likely won't rejoin the housing market until their credit scores recover, Valone said.
Q: Where are all the new apartments?
A: Construction is happening all over the county, but major projects have popped up in areas including Mission Valley, Mira Mesa and Chula Vista.
Q: Are landlords still offering move-in perks to new renters?
A:Yes, but they're limited. When landlords were faced with higher vacancy rates, a renter could easily snag a free month's rent. Now, a typical incentive is a discount on the first month's rent. At Casa Mira View, new rentals in Mira Mesa, a limited-time perk was free utilities — water and sewer only — for a year. That went away as units quickly filled up, said Posnock, of Garden Communities.
Q: What are the new apartment buildings like?
A: A lot of the new inventory is focused on amenities and luxury. At Mission Valley's Circa 37 Apartments, one perk is a monthly cooking class at the complex's community lounge area. At Casa Mira View, tenants will eventually get a bowling alley. Other examples at various complexes include: a pet-washing station, yoga rooms and a carousel.
"Anything that can bring them (renters) together ... and out of their apartments and meet other people," said Sheri Stranc, regional manager of Riverstone Residential Group, which manages Circa 37 Apartments in Mission Valley.
Q: What are landlords in older apartment buildings doing to try to keep their renters?
A: An increasing number of property managers and owners are starting to spruce up their units for two key reasons. One, they have the money to do it. Second, the upgrades, likely deferred during the recession, are now much-needed, said Alan Pentico, executive director of the San Diego County Apartment Association. Pentico has seen more property owners approve landscape work, paint jobs and installations of stainless steel in apartments.
Rick Snyder, who manages 6,000 units across the county, has active renovations. At one Mission Valley complex, he's overseeing the installation of a gym facility that will have yoga and
Q: What are the chances landlords will increase rents this year?
A: It's not out of the question. In fact, some tenants are already getting rental-hike notices. Melanie Peters, a 45-year-old social media consultant, saw her rent go up by $100 in January. That, along with noisy construction at her Normal Heights unit, prompted her to move to a smaller place in University Heights that matched her original rent of $1,000. Rents for unoccupied units at Casa Mira View have risen $150 a month. Rents at Circa 37 Apartments, which range from $1,705 to $2,960 are likely to stay the same or rise but most likely won't fall, said Stranc, of Riverstone Residential Group.

Oscars 2010 & Jimmy Kimmell for 2011?
It may be an unpopular sentiment but Steven Martin and Alec Baldwin worked for me. We laughed heartily in the press room. But they couldn't save a show that was too long, poorly directed, and terribly produced. Enjoyed the 5 actor tribute to the Best Actor and Actress categories, it worked to build suspense, but that dumbass montage to horror with the mismatched music and the uneven pacing of the programme gave it an overall feeling of.

Best Oscar Try Something New: Tina Fey
Just wanted to point out – Seth Meyers and Ricky Gervais were part of the Oscar writing staff last night. I'm sure Tina also had something to do with the fact that Steve Martin was way funnier presenting an Academy Award than he was hosting Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago. Tina not wearing black or grey. Full Story

UPF Fabric
Lacking fur, feathers or scales, we humans have to think up clever ways to protect ourselves from the sun. Products with the UPF designation provide built-in sun protection that won't wear off.
To achieve sun protection, Patagonia takes a varied approach, depending on the degree of protection desired and the fabric used. Elements of the strategy can range from yarn selection to fabric construction to the use of special finishes (especially for light colors which generally provide less protection).
bluesign® Approved Fabric
Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for the end customers.
In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.
Any fabric you see that's bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.

Free software license
A free software licence is a notice that grants the recipient of a piece of software extensive rights to modify and redistribute that software. These actions are usually prohibited by copyright law, but the rights-holder (usually the author) of a piece of software can remove these restrictions by accompanying the software with a software license which grants the recipient these rights. Software using such a licence is free software as conferred by the copyright holder.
Some free software licenses include "copyleft" provisions which require all future versions to also be distributed with these freedoms. Other, "permissive", free software licenses are usually just a few lines containing the grant of rights and a disclaimer of warranty, thus also allowing distributors to add restrictions for further recipients.
The most widely used free software license is the GNU General Public License.

Free software licenses before the 1980s were generally informal notices written by the developers themselves. At that time, sharing of software was common in certain developer communities and there were even questions about whether copyright law applied to software, so licenses weren't written with a view to having to be defended in court. Copyleft not yet having been invented, these early licenses were of the "permissive" kind.
In the mid-1980s, the GNU project produced individual free software licenses for each of its software packages. The first, GCC General Public License, was applied to the GNU Compiler Collection and was initially published in 1987.[1][2] The original BSD license is also one of the first free software licenses, dating to 1988. In 1989, version 1 of the GNU General Public License (GPL) was published. Version 2 of the GPL, released in 1991, went on to become the most widely used free software license.[3] Starting in the mid-90s and until the mid-00s, a trend began where companies and new projects wrote their own licenses, or adapting others' licenses to insert their own name. This license proliferation led to problems of complexity and license compatibility.[4] One free software license, the GNU GPL version 2, has been brought to court, first in Germany and later in the USA. In the German case the judge did not explicitly discuss the validity of the GPL's clauses but accepted that the GPL had to be adhered to: "If the GPL were not agreed upon by the parties, defendant would notwithstanding lack the necessary rights to copy, distribute, and make the software 'netfilter/iptables' publicly available." Because the defendant did not comply with the GPL, it had to cease use of the software.[5] The US case (MySQL vs Progress) was settled before a verdict was arrived at, but at an initial hearing, Judge Saris "saw no reason" that the GPL would not be enforceable.[6]
FSF-approved "free software" licenses
Free Software Foundation, the group that maintains The Free Software Definition, maintains a non-exhaustive list of free software licences.[7] The list distinguishes between free software licenses that are compatible or incompatible with the FSF license of choice, the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license. The list also contains licenses which the FSF considers non-free for various reasons, but which are sometimes mistaken as being free.
OSI-approved "open source" licenses
The group Open Source Initiative (OSI) defines and maintains a list of approved open source licenses. OSI agrees with FSF on all widely used free software licenses, but differ from FSF's list since the two organizations have different requirements for approving licenses.
Accepted restrictions
Certain licenses restrict distribution in order to force derived projects to allow the freedom to use, study, modify, and redistribute the derived project. Some free software licenses carry requirements and restrictions which apply to distributors. There exists an ongoing debate within the free software community regarding the fine line between what restrictions can be applied and still be called "free".
During the 1990s, free software licenses began including clauses, such as patent retaliation, in order to protect against software patent litigation cases - a problem which had not previously existed. This new threat was one of the reasons for writing version 3 of the GNU GPL in 2006.[8] In recent years, a term coined tivoization describes a process where hardware restrictions are used to prevent users from running modified versions of the software on that hardware, which the Tivo device is an example of. It is viewed by the FSF as a way to turn free software to effectively non-free, and is why they have chosen to prohibit it in GPLv3.[9]
The free software licenses written by Richard Stallman in the mid-1980s pioneered a concept known as "copyleft". Ensuing copyleft provisions stated that when modified versions of free software are distributed, they must be distributed under the same terms as the original software. This is sometimes referred to as "share and share alike" or "quid pro quo". This results in the new software being open source as well. Since copyleft ensures that later generations of the software grant the freedom to modify the code, this is "Free Software". Non-copyleft licenses do not ensure that later generations of the software remain free.
Developers who use GPL code in their product must make the source code available to anyone when they share or sell the object code. In this case, the source code must also contain any changes the developers may have made. If GPL code is used but not shared or sold, the code is not required to be made available and any changes may remain private. This permits developers and organizations to use and modify GPL code for private purposes (i.e. when the code or the project is not sold or otherwise shared) without being required to make their changes available to the public.
Supporters of GPL claim that by mandating that derivative works remain under the GPL, it fosters the growth of free software and requires equal participation by all users. Opponents of GPL claim[10] that "no license can guarantee future software availability" and that the disadvantages of GPL outweigh[11] its advantages. Some also argue that restricting distribution makes the license less free. Whereas proponents would argue that not preserving freedom during distribution would make it less free. For example, a non-copyleft license does not grant the author the freedom to see modified versions of his or her work, whereas a copyleft license does grant that freedom.
Patent retaliation
Most newly written free software licenses since the late 1990s include some form of patent retaliation clauses. These measures stipulate that one's rights under the license (such as to redistribution), may be terminated if one attempts to enforce patents relating to the licensed software, under certain circumstances. As an example, the Apple Public Source License may terminate a user's rights if said user embarks on litigation proceedings against them due to patent litigation. Patent retaliation emerged in response to proliferation and abuse of software patents.
Hardware restrictions
Version 3 of the GNU GPL includes specific language prohibiting additional restrictions being enforced by hardware restrictions and digital rights management (DRM), a practice FSF calls Tivoization.
Attribution, disclaimers and notices
The majority of free software licenses require that modified software not claim to be unmodified. Some licenses also require that copyright holders be credited. One such example is version 2 of the GNU GPL, which requires that interactive programs that print warranty or license information, may not have these notices removed from modified versions intended for distribution.
Practical problems with licenses
License compatibility
Licenses of software packages containing contradictory requirements, render it impossible to combine source code from such packages in order to create new software packages.[12]
For example, if one license says "modified versions must mention the developers in any advertising materials", and another license says "modified versions cannot contain additional attribution requirements", then, if someone combined a software package which uses one license with a software package which uses the other, it would be impossible to distribute the combination because these contradictory requirements cannot be simultaneously fulfilled. Thus, these two packages would be license-incompatible[13] or in commercial organisations.[14] For this reason, such licenses are not considered free software by the standards of the FSF, OSI, Debian, or the BSD-based distributions.
The FSF's free software definition further states that development and distribution must not be restricted.[15] Thus, commercial distribution of free software is acceptable and has become common.
Permissive versus copyleft opinions
Many users and developers of BSD-based operating systems have a different position on licensing. The main difference is the belief that the copyleft licenses, particularly the GNU General Public License (GPL), are undesirably complicated and/or restrictive.[16] The GPL requires any derivative work to also be released according to the GPL while the BSD license does not. Essentially, the BSD license's only requirement is to acknowledge the original authors, and poses no restrictions on how the source code may be used. As a result, BSD code can be used in proprietary software that only acknowledges the authors. For instance, the IP stack in Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 and Mac OS X are derived from BSD-licensed software.[citation needed]
Supporters of the BSD license argue that it is more free than the GPL because it grants the right to do anything with the source code, other than the right to require that modifications be recontributed to the community. For example, users might incorporate the BSD-licensed code into proprietary products. The approach has led to BSD code being used in common, widely used proprietary software. In response, proponents of the GPL point out that once code becomes proprietary, users lack the freedoms that define free software.[17] As a result, the BSD is less free than the GPL, except on the naive view that freedom is the same as the lack of any restrictions. Since the BSD license restricts the right of developers to have changes recontributed to the community, neither it nor the GPL is "free" in the sense of "lacking any restrictions."
Code licensed under a permissive free software licence, such as the BSD license, can be incorporated into copylefted (e.g. GPL'd) projects. Such code is thus "GPL-compatible". There is no need to secure the consent of the original authors. In contrast, code under the GPL cannot be relicensed under the BSD license without securing the consent of all copyright holders. Thus the two licenses are compatible, but (unless such consent has been obtained) the combination as a whole must be distributed under the terms of the GPL, not the permissive license.
Existing free software BSDs tend to avoid including software licensed under the GPL in the core operating system, or the base system, except as a last resort when alternatives are non-existent or vastly less capable, such as with GCC. For example, starting with FreeBSD 10.0 release GCC was replaced to the Clang/LLVM compiler, perhaps primarily for this reason. The OpenBSD project has acted to remove GPL-licensed tools in favor of BSD-licensed alternatives, some newly written and some adapted from older code.
The Debian project uses the criteria laid out in its Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG). The only notable cases where Debian and Free Software Foundation disagree are over the Artistic License and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Debian accepts the original Artistic License as being a free software license, but FSF disagrees. This has very little impact however since the Artistic License is almost always used in a dual-license setup, along with the GNU General Public License.
Regarding the GNU Free Documentation License, Debian decided to apply the DFSG to everything in their distribution, including documentation. The FSF argues that documentation is qualitatively different from software and is subject to different requirements. The end result of a long discussion and the eventual vote in Debian[18] was that the works licensed under the GFDL are considered free as long as they do not contain unmodifiable sections (what the GFDL calls "Invariant Sections"). Most GNU documentation includes Invariant Sections.
Controversial borderline cases
The vast majority of free software uses undisputed free software licenses; however, there have been many debates over whether or not certain other licenses qualify for the definition.
Examples of licenses that provoked debate were the 1.x series of the Apple Public Source License, which were accepted by the Open Source Initiative but not by the Free Software Foundation or Debian and the RealNetworks Public Source License, which was accepted by Open Source Initiative and Free Software Foundation but not by Debian.

Photo Flash: NewMusicalTheatre.com Concert Features Kerrigan-Lowdermilk's YOU MADE THIS TOUR
The ever-growing music seller and online community NewMusicalTheatre.com followed up its wildly popular April 2010 launch concert and celebration with an even bigger event at Tribeca's Canal Room on Monday, February 28. Kerrigan-Lowdermilk's "You Made This Tour" opened the evening with a 7:30pm act.
Now boasting over 25 of the most exciting new voices writing for the theater today, NewMusicalTheatre.com fosters the idea that fans and actors can directly connect and impact the writers of tomorrow's next big hits. This concert will feature songs from 12 of the newest writers added to the NewMusicalTheatre.com community, performed by a hand-picked crew of Broadway's most-talented stars.
Coming off the success of last spring's explosive coming out party for the new site and growing community of writers, producers Katie Riegel and John Johnson reunited with director David Ruttura and music director Matt Hinkley to present this must-see event for anyone interested in the future of Broadway music.
"You Made This Tour," is the result of Kerrigan and Lowdermilk's stunning kickstarter.com campaign, which "nearly broke the site" in the first 48 hours of fundraising (Flavorwire.com), netting a grand total of $35,000 over the course of the campaign.

NewMusicalTheatre.com is dedicated to the distribution and promotion of a new generation of musical theater writers who self-publish their own digital sheet music. Its goal is to create a direct connection between the people who write music and the people who want to perform and listen to it. It provides an affordable and legal one-stop shop to discover and share the work of self-published writers. It aspires to foster a dynamic community where fans and actors can directly connect and impact the writers of tomorrow's next big hits. This is an e-commerce website designed by writers for writers. It allows fans to directly support writers when they need it most - before their shows go to Broadway.

TRAVERSE CITY (AP) -- A judge has trimmed two years off a sentence for a young man convicted of fatally stabbing a teenage girl in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula and burying her in a sand pile.
Grand Traverse County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Power had sentenced Robert Schwander to 40-70 years, exceeding the minimum recommended under state guidelines. A jury found Schwander guilty of second-degree murder in the 2011 death of 16-year-old Carly Lewis of Traverse City.
The Michigan Court of Appeals, however, recently told Power he failed to explain why he exceeded the guidelines.
Power was ordered to explain the decision or resentence Schwander, who now is 19. The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports Power last week reduced Schwander's minimum sentence to 38 years. Power said, however, he already explained the initial sentence.

I am a little guilty, because as the holiday season gets into full swing, I feel like I should be posting fancy, gift-worthy recipes on this blog. Alas, that is not possible right now! Daiku and I are dealing with giving and grading finals (him), finishing a chapter of a dissertation with a tight deadline (me), and trying to plan and pack for our upcoming 4 weeks of traveling! As many of you probably know from first-hand experience, this is a recipe for stress. So, as the awesome and fancy recipes I see on everyones' blogs and in all the new cookbooks stack up on our "to-make" pile, Daiku and I have been eating very simply with an eye to a) quickness and ease of preparation and b) finishing up what we have in the house.
So, this blog post will be about some quick and simple recipes that use a lot of normal ingredients, but somehow manage to be marginally healthy as well.
First up, tempeh reubens! This has always been one of my favorite foods, but we only got around to making it at home recently, and it was awesome. We used this recipe from The Vegan Cooking School website, but changed around some ingredients and the sauce a little bit. You would not believe the smells that were wafting through the kitchen as the tempeh baked!
One 8 oz. Package Tempeh, sliced into sandwich sized pieces
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon caraway
2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Cup Sauerkraut
1/4 Cup cooked cannelini beans
1 Tablespoons veganaise (vegan mayo)
2 Tablespoons ketchup
3 Tablespoons minced pickles
2 tsp teaspoon lemon juice
thin slices of red onion
Sandwich bread, toasted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl combine water, soy sauce, cumin, caraway, mustard, garlic and oil and whisk together. (I used the Magic Bullet to blend everything together) Place tempeh in a baking dish and pour marinade over it. Bake in oven uncovered for 40 minutes. (It will look like you have a lot of marinade, but the tempeh will absorb most of it during the baking process) When finished cooking tempeh will be dark and should be removed from any excess liquid. Place on a separate dish and set aside.
Place sauerkraut in a small frying pan over a low heat to warm through. You want the sauerkraut to be warm for the sandwich but not burned so keep the flame low!
Make the Russian dressing by combining the cannelini beans, veganaise, ketchup, pickles and lemon juice and mixing thoroughly. (Using the beans gave the dressing plenty of body, but allowed us to cut down the fat quite a bit) Now to assemble this tasty sandwich: Place bread on a plate. Spread a tablespoon of the Russian dressing on and add the tempeh. Add the warmed sauerkraut, sprouts, onion and place the other piece of bread on top.
These sandwiches were wonderful, savory, and filling, and the leftovers made quick lunches to take to school the next day.
The next recipe I have is so easy, that it's a bit ridiculous to post it, really. But I figured when you're hurried (and maybe your kitchen isn't as neat and orderly as you'd like, and you don't want to mess up any more dishes, and you don't have time to bake, and you're running out of ingredients... you get the picture!) you might still want a quick sweet morsel to pop into your mouth and so I bring you...
Ready for the ridiculous recipe? Here goes:
Take a handful of chocolate chips or chunks of chocolate
Take a handful of butterscotch chips (or peanut butter, white chocolate, or more regular chocolate chips)
Put these in a small deep bowl or mug with a splash of your milk of choice
Microwave for about 20 - 40 seconds until mostly melted, then whisk with a spoon until thoroughly melted, uniform, and mixed.
Now take a couple of fistfuls of quick (important - these won't work as well with old-fashioned) oats and stir into the melted chocolate until well-incorporated.
Now, using a spoon, take little round bundles of this mixture and drop on a plate or small cookie sheet, and stick in the freezer for about 5 - 8 minutes. (Just enough time to brew some tea or coffee, actually)
Take out of freezer, allow to thaw for just a moment or two, and pop into your mouth! This recipe really is greater than the sum of its parts. The chocolate re-solidifies wonderfully and you feel like you're eating something between a cookie and a candy, and the oats let you believe you're being kinda sorta healthy- it's a win-win!
Sometimes, Daiku and I just give up and order pizza. We do this really infrequently, and you know things are overwhelming when we do. I just had to show you this his-n-hers veg-n-notvegan pizza with cheese on one side and no cheese on the other, since it looks pretty funny. We had a coupon, so this large pizza came to $6, not too bad. Oh, and while it's horribly unhealthy, Papa John's garlic sauce is, indeed, vegan, so file that under "desperate times call for desperate food"... moving on!
Finally, we have tea. Specifically, what you see above is "Casablanca Twist" from Adagio Teas, a mixture of green tea and mint leaves. Woah- this stuff is so strong and has such pure flavor! It's a wonderful mixture of energizing and soothing for when you're studying, writing, grading, packing, you know, all the good stuff! Mint tea is also great for digestion, say, for when you eat take-out pizza... The ever-wonderful Celine was kind enough to hook me up with Adagio teas by sending me a gift certificate. Now that I've ordered from the site (after a few weeks of browsing, drooling, and trying to decide what to get!) the site will let me send gift certificates to whoever I want. So, if you want a $5 off coupon for Adagio, just leave me your name and email address in the comments and I will send one to you immediately. I think I want to try the Valentine's Day blend next (it's tea with bits of chocolate-dipped strawberries- how crazy wonderful does that sound??) Thanks, Celine!
I hope you are all getting through this season with your sanity and sense of humor intact!

This month, Denver Botanic Gardens stepped up its game in its ongoing effort to improve access to healthy food around the city. Far from its flagship site on York Street, the Gardens operates a community farm at its Chatfield location in Littleton.
Since 2010, produce grown there has been sold to the community, through a Community Supported Agriculture program, and donated to food banks and homeless shelters. And, as of this month, the Botanic Gardens is also selling some of it to the public, in Denver's food deserts — neighborhoods that do not have ready or abundant access to fresh foods.
The farm stand debuted on the first Friday in June near Denver Human Services, in the Sun Valley neighborhood behind Sports Authority Field, and will continue to operate there on the first two Fridays of every month through October.
And just a few days ago, it set up shop at its second location downtown, on the 16th Street Mall between Champa and Curtis Streets, where it will operate for the second two Fridays of the month. (While the mall may host plenty of restaurants that will sell you a salad, finding fresh produce to take home is another story.)

SourceForge Grows Up - and Out
Jun 19, 2009 4:00 AM PT
SourceForge, a media services and e-commerce company that provides open source software downloads and development, is enjoying the best of both business worlds. It is one of the largest open source software repositories -- the SourceForge Web site has more than 30 million unique visitors per month -- and it reported more than US$40 million in earnings for its last quarter, with no outstanding debt.
Still, the company has no desire to rest on its laurels. Instead, it is pressing ahead with a makeover to become more useful to the open source community.
In March, SourceForge inked a deal with the Linux Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of the Linux operating system. That arrangement set the stage for more collaboration with open source developers and software users.
Earlier this month, the company announced plans to close on an acquisition of Ohloh, an open source data and community service.
Both of those moves are aimed at hitting the company's main goal: to significantly improve the usefulness of the forge to the community. To that end, a significant investment is under way, according to Jon Sobel, SourceForge's group president of media.
"We want to move from the traditional Web site, where all the focus is on what happens within the site, to being a real modern Web platform, where we can serve the open source community and provide information and utility around open source software wherever it may be hosted," Sobel told LinuxInsider. "We want to make it a world-class development environment."
Meager Beginnings
At its inception, the intent was to build SourceForge as a marketing tool for a company known as "VA Linux" in the 1990s. That company's main business was the sale of embedded-Linux servers.
SourceForge grew beyond the marketing project and took on a life of its own with the support of the open source community. Much of the credit for where the company is today is due to those early workers, who were a big part of the community they served. Now, as then, the people working on it believe in it. This has been a wonderful asset to the company, according to Sobel.
SourceForge, the parent company, owns SourceForge.net, the repository, as well as technology news site Slashdot, and e-commerce company ThinkGeek, both of which it acquired in 2000. The company has evolved from one selling hardware in the 1990s to one that had an enterprise software business along with an e-commerce business. Now, it is trying to become a company much more focused on serving the open source community and its e-commerce business.
"The community has hung with us the whole way," Sobel said.
Brand Counts
The early experiences BA Linux had in establishing its employees deep within the Linux community had far-reaching effects on the company SourceForge has become. If nothing else, the reputation it established raised the bar for newcomers. Other repository or directory sites such as Ohloh and the OpenLogic Expert Community (OLEX) often played catch-up.
"While SourceForge may be best known for its repository, its business has been sustained mostly by its Slashdot and other media sites, and advertising and ThinkGeek e-commerce site," said Jay Lyman, open source analyst for The 451 Group.
"The company's greater opportunity is in connecting enterprise open source software users and customers with developers and vendors and providing insight on the enterprise open source software in use," Lyman told LinuxInsider.
Much of SourceForge's success has been a consequence of the continuing, expanding uptake of open source software in the enterprise, according to Lyman.
The company has done a good job of serving the open source software community by providing a directory for enterprises and a home for projects, he noted.
"SourceForge should continue to benefit from the growth of enterprise open source software, but it must provide the services and information that both developers and enterprise open source users demand. It must also ensure that its directory can interface with and reach into other directories, something the company is in the process of doing," explained Lyman.
Challenges Ahead
The company's biggest challenge is realizing the opportunity that comes with its large repository and brand recognition, said Lyman. This means continuing to build and advance its features for developers and its connections to other repositories. It also means growing the project data business it acquired with Ohloh.
Although his view of SourceForge's main challenge is a bit different, Sobel's game plan involves community service, of sorts. The company has transformed itself several times and is in the middle of another change now.
"The challenge of doing both -- serving the Linux community and doing well in business -- is a task that more and more companies will face," he said. "It's the nature of enterprises going forward. To be successful, you have to take care of your community and run a good business. We are trying to do both things well, which is an art."
Recent Successes
At the product level, SourceForge is rapidly modernizing tools that it makes available to software developers. These include adding three new search engine marketing [SEM] tools and more than 15 development-related applications to the Web site in the last six months, and opening up APIs to the forge data.
On the business side, the company has begun to improve the appearance and effectiveness of its Web site for both users and advertisers. It is working very hard to rapidly improve the platform and make it a better business at the same time, commented Sobel.
"So much of where Web activity is going is more site-centric than it was five years ago. So we really are working hard to transform our site into a platform," he said.
Business Horizon
Perhaps the company's very strong balance sheet, with more than $40 million in cash and no debt, gives SourceForge a bit more ability to forge ahead with growth. Clearly, it is a wonderful opportunity and a very interesting situation, acknowledged Sobel.
"We have the financial strength and the recognition within the open source community. Plus, we have a lot of smart, motivated people inside the company to make something really 'impactful' happen here," he remarked, adding that is is all the raw materials any company on a growth trajectory needs.
SourceForge's financials are not reflective of most open source software vendors, observed Lyman. The company is most reliant on e-commerce and advertising revenue.
"Most of the open source vendors we talk to and encounter base [their] business and revenue on support and services," he noted, "or commercial licensing connected to open source software in dual- and hybrid-license models."

Winter squash (including pumpkins) have a nutritional treasure at the center–and a tasty one, too! In the middle of the stringy pulp are the lovely squash seeds. They are quick and easy to roast, filling the kitchen with a wonderful fragrance that only comes in the fall.
Cleaning the seeds can be a bit of a chore. They grow in little clumps, and I pinch them off one at a time like picking grapes. Then I put them in a colander and rinse well under cold water, rubbing the seeds together to remove the slippery juice. (Learn more about how to cut open winter squash.)
Don't let seed cleaning stop you from fixing this healthy autumn snack. Just put on some good music and have at them! The rich flavor and concentrated nutrition makes it worth the effort. Continue Reading

CINCINNATI (AP) Point guard Cashmere Wright will be limited by a sprained knee - if he plays at all - when Cincinnati hosts No. 25 Marquette on Saturday, trying to end a three-game losing streak at home.
The senior sprained his right knee early in the second half of a 75-70 win at DePaul on Tuesday night and had to be helped off the court. Coach Mick Cronin said on Thursday that Wright's status for the game is uncertain.
``Obviously there's minor adjustments we'll make that are some pluses, some minuses,'' Cronin said. ``We probably become a bigger, more physical team when he's out of the lineup. We played a lot of quality minutes without him (at DePaul). We did a lot of good things without him on the floor.''
Cincinnati (15-3, 3-2 Big East) is going to have to do that again against Marquette (13-3, 4-0), which is one of three teams left with perfect Big East records. The Bearcats have leaned on Wright heavily the last few weeks. He has scored at least 20 points in three of the last four games, and had 20 points and seven assists when he got hurt with more than 15 minutes left in the game on Tuesday night.
Wright averages 15.1 points per game, second to Sean Kilpatrick's 17.3 points per game. Kilpatrick has been in a shooting slump lately, scoring 7, 15, 10 and 18 points the last four games. He's only 12 of 40 from behind the 3-point arc in the last six games, three of which the Bearcats have lost.
If Wright misses the game, the Bearcats will have guard JaQuon Parker and sophomore point guard Ge'Lawn Guyn handle the ball more often.
``With Ge'Lawn and Parker that can run the point - and sometimes me - we should be OK,'' Kilpatrick said. ``But with him being on the floor, it makes it a lot easier for everybody else. He's used to that position. We do need him.''
The game has a little extra significance for Cincinnati, which opened the season by winning its first 12 games and was No. 8 in late December, its highest ranking in nine years. A 55-54 loss to New Mexico started a stretch of three straight home losses - the Bearcats also dropped games against St. John's and Notre Dame - that knocked them out of the Top 25.
Cincinnati received the 26th-most points in this week's AP poll. Marquette moved into the Top 25 for the first time this season and beat Seton Hall 69-62 on Wednesday night.
The Bearcats haven't lost on the road or at a neutral site. They're only 8-3 at home, a surprising statistic.
``The biggest mistake teams make is thinking we're at home, we're going to win,'' Cronin said. ``We've made the adjustment in the last few games in taking each game separately.
``So that's all we're trying to focus on. If you don't have that focus at home, it's probably because you're relaxing mentally.''
The Bearcats will play two of the three teams with perfect league records in the next few days. After hosting Marquette on Saturday night, they play at No. 6 Syracuse (16-1, 4-0) on Monday afternoon.
Cincinnati doesn't play No. 1 Louisville (16-1, 4-0) until March 4. The games against Marquette and Syracuse will give them an idea of how they match up against some of the conference's best at the moment. The Bearcats are alone in fourth place in the league.
``We know that these are (two of) the top teams in the league right now, playing at an extremely high level,'' Kilpatrick said. ``That's something we've got to keep fighting for. If we continue to play the way we have been doing, we should be all right.''

Sony has settled its dispute with Kevin Butler actor Jerry Lambert over is appearance in a Bridgestone tyre advert.
"and he admitted confusion was created in the minds of some consumers who believed he was playing Kevin Butler in the Bridgestone ads."
Gee, I wonder why...
Seriously most people knew he wasn't playing Kevin Butler in the tyre ad.
Clue 1: He never once referred to himself as "Kevin Butler" like he always usually did in the Sony ads.
Clue 2: He wasn't in a Sony ad at the time, lol.
This is more to do wit brand recognition, Jerry Lamberts alter ego Kevin Butler has become so synonymous with the Sony brand, seeing him promoting any other console makes some people feel like his character is endorsing a competing product.
True but they could at least made him look a little different...it's like they didn't even try.
Different colour hair, a wig, some glasses, facial features etc....but no he looked like himself and over the years with Sony himself is basically Kevin Butler.
Sigh Im just sad we may never see kevin butler again :(
@ Root:
he kind of even had the same machismo attitude.
Similar attitude, similar attire, playing video game.....yeah, how could ANYONE confuse him with his other character? /s
The issue here is that it was Lambert's LIKENESS that is associated with his character. When you see him wearing that exact same outfit, same haircut, playing videogames, the association is there.
Bridgestone went to Lambert's marketing company to create its Wii commercial, and instead of just letting others do the commercial, he's such an attention spotlight whore he couldn't bare to not be on TV. Any dumbass who runs a marketing company knows how companies write up their contracts, and knows that companies don't want you promoting competitor products. It would be as if someone stole the Geiko lizard's likeness and British accent, and called it the "Manulife lizard" to make Manulife commercials. It's just the dumbest thing you can do, and shows Kevin Lambert only has loyalty to himself, and getting yourself recognized at opportunity no matter what the cost.
im more sad not seeing kevin butler commercials, this guy was good, and was awesome at doing it.
A couple of PS4 ads will do the "settlement" trick
@ Root
So every other personality must now put on a wig and hide their true features based on their previous work holding some kind of right to his likeness?
That idea is just asinine.
So what most of you are saying is, Jerry Lambert is not allowed to appear in any ads endorsing products other than that of Sony because he looks like the character he plays (Kevin Butler) and that confuses you?
This is all about brand recognition, Sony is worried that people seeing Lambert in ads endorsing a competitors product will help increase the potential sales of that product, because the sheer popularity of Kevin Butler works as some kind of "seal of approval" as far as certain gamers are concerned.
I do understand why this lawsuit happened, but I still think it's pretty stupid that company's have so little faith in us, believing that we're going to think Butler is plugging the Wii now... smh.
Of course Lambert knows he was wrong. The way the internet blew up with 'Kevin Butler has a Wii in a Bridgestone commercial', that was all Sony needed right there. Tell the judge to hit google, see everyone using the Kevin Butler name as proof of brand confusion and bang, case closed.
Just glad they settled and can move on. No Jerry Lambert video game hocking for 2 more years as per the settlement. Admits he did it while still under a Sony contract. The fact people argued this on here made me lose brain cells from facepalming. LOL how Bridgestone said they never used Lambert in a commercial. Do they not realise people saw it and took rips and pics of it before they had a chance to pull it, lol?
It was pretty obvious that this would happen, I'm honestly surprised they didn't think about it in the development of the commercial. Maybe Bridgestone paid him enough that he didn't care.
One thing that isn't touched upon is, the might of billion dollar companies going after you with their own legal department will break any small company.
Why do you think Bridgestone isn't settling, but a small guy like Kevin Butler (Lambert) would? Because the legal cost would probably bankrupt his company!
Legal cost is at the point where most people can't fight it without loosing in some other way despite a win. What we need is a system where the losing party pays all court costs by default. That will curtail a lot of frivolous lawsuits.
I agree but what if the loser is the one who doesn't have the money in the first place but felt his rights were still violated?
You have a valid point. However, the law should protect the most people, not the few.
In your case though, if the person didn't have the money there is *still* no money to get. The winner is still the victim, just like it is now because the looser can't pay up anyhow.
However, this would essentially kill lawyers that can essentially bankrupt you armed with only a postage stamp.
I also want to point out that lawsuits also has some good things, such as the attention to detail American companies will go to ensure safety that in many other modern western countries don't exist.
There just needs to be a better balance.
Doesn't help that 99% of people don't even know his real name. EVERY article refers to him as Kevin Butler whereas they should read 'Jerry Lambert settles...'
It would be like Jake Gyllenhaal being referred to as Donnie Darko in a news article...stupid if you think about it.
So if Sony gets someone that looks like Jerry to play Kevin Butler, can Jerry sue Sony for using his likeness without his consent?
Yes, if he invented the character, no if the other actor merely plays a character he didn't invent (Kevin Butler with his own "spin" on the character) and yes if he's a personality and the character uses something that is specifically "Lambert", because it violates his right of publicity; even if it's a fictional character, if it looks and acts like Lambert when he was playing Butler violates his right of publicity, even if it's another actor or an animated character if I'm not mistaken.
So actually, if you want to split hairs:
Let's say Lambert wanted to sue Valve over Cave Johnson's likeness to Kevin Butler, but I think Lambert's too cool to do something like that, he might lose, because although Cave is similar to Kevin, Cave's voice isn't using Lambert's specific voice and the name isn't the same, plus there is no physical likeness that can be connected to CJ but in the mind of the listener. If Valve used even one actual word from Lambert they would be liable.
BUT the right of publicity extends to anything, not just a name or likeness, that evokes the identity of a famous person.
The court would have to decide if Valve used enough of Lambert's interpretation of what KB should be in CJ that would invoke Lambert's Kevin Butler for Lambert to win the case.
Now, if Cave was over a game company, or he looked like the character KB, or if the character sounded a lot like Lambert's rendition of KB, or if he used enough quips similar to KB to invoke Lambert's image, Valve would be liable because it violates Lambert's right of publicity.
See Wendt v. Host International and White v. Samsung Electronics for examples.
So will he be back to Sony for the PS4 marketing
I say bring him back and make an advert taking the mic out of all this.....laugh it off
I sued a guy after he causes an accident. We ended up settling out of court. Do you really think me and him would ever be friends?
Lambert is done with SONY. Forever.
Thank goodness! Now I can finally get some good sleep tonight.
Unless, of course, there's a "Kevin Butler is Doomed" article on the horizon...
Anyone got any "tire" puns?
No, I'm tired of them.
^^^^^ that joke must've took a lot of willpower
Thank god this Sony Vs. Bridgestone law suit is over. I was getting TIRED from reading all the articles about it. HAHAH-yeah I know it's not good what do you want from me.
I stayed up till 4am, i got nothing (,_, )
Side note: I bought 6 bridgestone tires after seeing that ad. That Kevin Butler is good. He got me :(
I guess Jerry Lambert is not having a GOOD YEAR.
They are all retired.
Its a Good Year now that Jery Lambert TIRED to settle this once and for all.
Come back VP Kevin Butler. We miss you.
Sony made him big when he came out on stage at E3. I hope after all this we do see him used by Sony more.
I agree. Lock this guy down. I loved the Kevin Butler ads and I'd like to see more of them. Just the right mix of arrogance, charisma and humour in my opinion.
Yeh he should be the playstation mascot for foreseeable future
They could spin this with a Kevin Butler commercial that directly references an alter-ego playing the Wii and selling tires...
"But I don't sell tires, I sell games...REAL games, games that could only be possible thanks to the power of the PlayStation 3!"
Pretty sure he's gonna bring it up in a future ad.
This is so stupid. You can't blame someone for looking like himself.
So I guess Sega should sue Robert Downey Jr for being in a Call of Duty commercial when they were trying to sell Iron Man games? Since RDJ still looks like himself in that commercial, people will assume Iron Man prefers Call of Duty games.
Furthermore (for those who are still reading), this is like when a music label tried and failed to sue John Fogerty because his solo album too much like his old band CCR.
Wasn't Jerry Lambert sued because he was under a Sony contract and not just because of his looks?? Pretty sure Jerry Lambert acknowledged that. Plus RDJ probably doesn't have a contract with either Activision or Sega as far as i know. Also, Sega does have the exclusive rights to "Tony Starks" video game appearance/character but not the rights to RDJ's appearance. There's a difference. ^_^
I can't wait until we get Jerry Butler, his younger brother by 2 years.
^ I know I can't be the first person who has thought of this.
why did zerocrossing get so many disagrees?! He speaks truth! and flat out common sense.. Ehhh some people...
@ Rhezin because his clues are flawed and he didn't read the article "According to the settlement, Lambert acknowledged that his contract with Sony precluded him from promoting or endorsing competing game systems. Lambert also acknowledged that at the very least, confusion was created in the minds of some consumers who believed he was portraying the Kevin Butler character in both the PlayStation and Bridgestone commercials.
Under the terms of the settlement, Lambert agreed not to appear in any ad or promotion that features or even mentions "any other video game or computer entertainment system or video game company" for a period of two years."---------------So do you understand now why the disagrees?
Hey I got 10 disagrees just for paraphrasing the article lol. "Jerry admits he was wrong". Some people can't read.
That's quite the accusation there, saying that I never read the article, I didn't realise it was a requirement to reference a direct quote.
Listen Im fully aware of the terms of agreement in Lamberts case, but it doesn't mean I can't think its bloody stupid telling a guy he cant endorse another console because people will get confused, I got disagreed with for the most part for my comment appearing anti Sony, which is absurd since I've been buying their consoles since the Playsation and am a big fan of Sony.
I agree that it IS ridiculous that you get the shit from that console's fanboys on this site (no matter which console's fanboys come out to play) to spite your criticism of said console. It's not just Sony's. Microsoft's have done that too.
It's just the sad state of affairs this gen because the internet has escalated it. Can't have a serious discussion about gaming topics that affect all of us and represent both sides in the discussion without an endless sea of immature posts and fanboyish cheerleading of people who don't deserve the cheerleading, with no limit to what they approve. The already sad state goes further when you consider how THIS site has been to even do anything about said people.
God forbid you are fair to both sides in debates. Remember the jailbreaking arguments on this site? Yeah, perfect example of how it's getting ridiculous of how you can't even separate yourself from your usual console manu of choice on anything without people thinking you've somehow betrayed them and that you never once defended them on anything.
I often get disagrees for speaking the truth and common sense...
The point I was trying to make is in the tyre ad we all know Lambert wasn't playing Butler, but Sony worried people would think Butler (a character they created to endorse their products) was now plugging a competitors product.
That makes sense right, idk may be im not explaining it well, anyway Im thankful at least people were mature enough to not take away my bubbles.
I loved Kevin because I thought the ads were funny and clever.
I hated Kevin because I thought these ads were preaching to the choir and failed to reach an audience outside of the hardcore playstation fans.
So I guess I have mixed feelings about this. Although I'm glad the actor didn't have to pay any money.
I must admit that im one of the people that never knew that Kevin Butler wasnt his real name.....
The only counter argument is he acts the same in pretty much everything he does. He has cameo's in some movies (Sony movies none the less) and acts the same in all of them, very one dimensional.
Why didn't Bridgestone just cough up some money and put PlayStation there instead? They can' deny they were running off his popularity for the commercial, and they thought it was working as it became more widespread until Sony said "hang on!" Then it suddenly disappeared.
Too bad it wasn't a car commercial, I'd love for someone to get rid of those and the stupid Geico crap.
It isn't the first time the internet got someone in trouble. I remember some person hired for Coca cola commercials was caught drinking a Pepsi behind he scenes. lol
We need to do better N4G.
He's obviously the VP of Undercover operations.
Don't blow it for him.
We all lose here. No more KB commercials for 2 more years unless he comes back to do more for sony.
Does this mean we can have our Kevin Butler back :D I really miss the good old KB commercials. It coulda help some games last year.
I can see a commercial releasing,
kevin ::: "so you thought I left? Of course not , old Jack was just having a fit at the fact I was better than him at countless game. So , when he saw me playing one more game I was better at, he got truly upset..... In the end , I let him win a round of All Stars and the whole matter was over"
Jack ::: " Wait what?"
||| Playstation commercial outro |||
I still think sony suing over it was stupid, if it required make up or something to make him look like kevin, then yes i'd agree, but if he looked like kevin butler naturally then i'd say sony is wrong
i could see if it was an xbox commercial. but i knew it was a tire commercial. this is America, a man has a right to get a second job
I hope he loses and they sue him for all of Sony's money and his money too.
What ever happened to Marcus?
I wasn't aware that anybody gave a shit about Marcus. :/
Oh I didn't, it suprises me that they would announce it on e3.
God you drones would condone slavery if Sony was accused of it :/ The man has a right to get another job and work for whoever he wants
Sony had to do something imo. Hell, half of the people on N4G think he's a real person.
I wonder how many death threats and did traitor die letters Jerry received after he was noticed holding a wii mote.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Harvard senior fencer Emily Cross has been tabbed to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District at-large first team for her effort in the classroom and in athletics as announced by CoSIDA Thursday. This marks the second selection for Cross in her Harvard career to the All-District team.
Cross, a co-captain of the Crimson, earned her second Academic All-Ivy League nod this season after reaching All-America and All-Ivy status for the third time in her illustrious career. Cross placed third at the 2009 NCAA Championships in the foil, winning 21 bouts and scoring 107 touches along the way. She also posted a 16-2 record at the Ivy League Championships as Harvard won its third Ivy title in the last five seasons. Harvard also finished fifth at the NCAA Championships in 2008-09.
In 2005, Cross won a national individual title, becoming the first Harvard and fifth Ivy woman to achieve that distinction. In the following season, Cross helped Harvard win the NCAA team championship after placing third in the foil. She has also succeeded at the international level, earning a silver medal with Team USA at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Just led a group of 13 up this new route that Richard N. and I found in April 2007. It cuts the distance in half compared to any other route. I believe it is the best route in Red Rock.
Anya Jingle - Mar 13, 2007 10:35 pm Date Climbed: May 27, 2005Via Juniper Canyon and Gunsight Notch
The route via Oak Creek is more scenic than this one. However, this is a guick way to get up both Rainbow Peak and Rainbow Wall. Photos are here: Rainbow Peak and Wall via Gunsight Notch
Cookie Addict - Mar 21, 2006 1:00 am Date Climbed: Mar 16, 2006Great Mountain
I and a buddy were waiting at the gate when it opened and were the first on-route – just barely. We fought the cold and wind all the way up Crimson Chrysalis and it took a total of 9 hours for us to ascend and rap off the route. It truly was a fantastic route. The trail there is real confusing, hike in the area beforehand. Get there very early. Bring extra layers and a pee bottle.
rickford - Mar 15, 2006 4:00 pm Date Climbed: Mar 7, 2006Solar Slab/ Solar Gulley
Started a bit too late and was slowed down by the fact that I was climbing with two others as a three person team. Overall, A rather spectacular climb! We made it to the 9th pitch (including the Solar gulley 'pitches'). The first pitch of Solar Slab was perfect: Exposed, long, easy, and excellent gear placements. Bring a jacket in late winter- for there is nothing 'solar' about the route during such times. Thanks Aarash for recommending such an excellent route, wish you could have been there with us! (BTW Josh, your sub 25 minute ascent of this route makes me want to quit climbing :-)
MoapaPk - Dec 1, 2005 10:38 pmRoute Climbed: From Juniper Canyon Date Climbed: Oct 12, 2003; Oct 10, 2004
Route-finding on the last ridge is a bit tricky, and rather unforgiving. The fastest way up is via Juniper Canyon, and around the backside of Rainbow Wall, but that route is very confusing. The Oak Cr route described here is a better choice for 1st-timers.
The "Rainbow Mountain" described here is what Branch Whitney refers to as "Rainbow Peak". The "Rainbow Mountain" described by the DPS is actually the "Rainbow Wall" described here (summitpost) and in Branch Whitney's guides.
The USGS map has a label "Rainbow Mountain" on the topo near the 6810' peak, but the USGS names are not sacrosanct, and were usually picked by asking locals, "what's that?" Check out the label for "Bridge Mountain" if you need convincing. However, the USGS deci_nv file lists:
845609|NV|Rainbow Mountain|summit|Clark|32|003|360629N|1152922W|36.10806|-115.48944|||||6810|||Blue Diamond
...so they have further ingrained that the 6810' peak is
"Rainbow Mountain".
From the scenic loop, the 6810' "Peak" looks dominant. But from the Lovell Canyon side -- the traditional hiking route, before the late 90's-- the "Peak" is just a lump, and the 6924' "Wall" is the obvious highpoint.
To add to the confusion, the Las Vegas Mountaineers' Club used to list "Rainbow Peak" as 6924', as a summit on their peakbagger list. I asked ffor a clarification on this, and was told that they meant the 6924' summit ("Wall") was the intended goal for peak-baggers.
Few people ever go to the 6810' Peak described here, partly because of the class 4 downclimb. Usually, when people say they've hiked up Rainbow Mountain, they mean "Rainbow Wall".
rpc - Dec 3, 2004 5:31 pmRoute Climbed: Multiple Date Climbed: Multiple
Power Failure (Mar. ??, 2009). Nice climbing in a small package (3P). Shirley took the middle (crux) pitch. Final pitch was soft for 10a. TR here.
Black Orpheus (Oct. 7, 2007). Shirley & I climbed this swapping leads. I somehow did not have big expectations for this route (mid 30% of it is kinda forgettable) but we actually had a very fun time on it. The pitches that get the high rating (.9 & .9+/10a) were actually kind of what one would expect. We found the last 2 pitches kind of harder than expected esp. the 5.5 slab at the very top...in fact ST has the very top of P11 labeled as 5.2. Maybe I missed an easier line?? Descent & hike out were long. Passed Fred Beckey day before as he was hiking into Pine Creek.
Ginger Cracks (Nov. 26, 2004). Final and best route of our trip to RR. Wonderful mix of climbing. The chimney on P2 looks intimidating but is in fact a ton of fun (stellar pro). Doesn't feel as exposed as Crimson but the climbing is more varied (and unlike Crimson has only 1 hanging belay). 5.9 pitch seems to have run into a retrobolter (bolts in places that take small cams - why?). I pulled off a 1X1 foot block on that pitch and after giving everyone on the wall a loud, profanity-ladden warning, launched it down.
Beulah's Book(Nov. 25, 2004). Great short route. The short chimney is unforgettable. The layback above is easier than it looks. There was human (or I should say subhuman filthy animal) turd above chimney on P2. We thought about doing Solar Slab but changed our minds when we got in line, took the number and it read "11"....next time.
Crimson Chrysalis (Jul. 11, 2004). Shirley and I climbed this under the July sun. Actually conditions on the climb were perfect. The route is in the shade most of the day and cool breezes roll through constantly. Best part of the day was the fact that we were the only people on route ALL day. Unbelievable!! The route is beautiful and truly deserves its status as a classic. Have never climbed a 5.8 like this before. It takes a straight line up the nearly vertical north face of Cloud Tower (I think it IS vertical for first 3.5 pitches). You get this "big wall" feel as all the belays (excpt two) are hanging. All belays are beautifully (triply or quadruply) bolted (and equipped with rap rings). All bolts (except ones on P9) are shiny new and beefy. This was the 2nd highpoint of the climbing season so far this year (1st being the Tip of Lost Arrow Spire in Yos.)!!
Johnny Vegas (Jan. 3, 2004). Fun short route. P2 seemed a bit runout.
Solar Slab Gully (Jan. 1, 2003) incl. 1st pitch of Solar Slab. Will go back sometime to finish SS.
cp0915 - Oct 24, 2004 12:05 pmRoute Climbed: via Oak Creek Canyon Date Climbed: October 23, 2004
One of the best hiking routes in the Red Rock area. Oak Creek Canyon is extremely scenic. The cascades were flowing everywhere. The ramp up to the summit ridge is quick and easy. Some nice, exposed class 3 & 4 scrambling just before the main summit. From the top, great views of Rainbow Wall, Juniper Peak, Bridge Mountain, Mt. Wilson, etc. My new favorite Red Rock peak.
