An overcast day gave the canal that misty-morning look for most of the day. Peaceful and quiet, it was us and the water and the trees. Occasional fishers, man with dogs, or couples holding hands could be seen along the path, but for the majority of the time we were on our own. Peacefully listening to the songs of the birds, the humm of insects, or water pouring over the locks. Watching dragonflies dance over the path in front of me while trees slowly began to cloak themselves into their autumn wardrobe and maize stood at attention like an army awaiting orders to march into battle. What a beautiful reprive!
Amazing how things work out…Sometimes thoughts of craziness and irresponsibility spill into my head when thinking of this trip and the lack of planning we've done. Other times, it's thoughts of adventure and spontaneity. A few days ago we were at our farm-stay in Vire as planned. Then we were whisked to the Corlesquet's through the generosity of our host. We thought Dillany and Steph were in the US at this point, but they were delayed due to VISA difficulties and we were able to connect with them. During some initial conversations with Steph's Dad, he asked if we knew about the Canal route. Of course we didn't - having no plans except 'we're on our way to Italy'. So we looked into it, and here we are!
360km of peace and quiet along the beautiful canal route. About 80km farther than if we took the roads since the river twists and turns. One extra day of relaxed cycling seems like a sufficient trade-off for me! Even some 'rough' camping tonight is a welcome change. The only problem I forsee being on the canal is that we're not passing through a lot of towns with shops for supplies. But I always have a few 'emergency' meals with us and I'm once again happy that we're self-sufficient for making our own food.

Book Review: "The Breach" by Patrick Lee
Travis Chase is an ex-cop and an ex-convict trying to forget the past. As part of his new life he heads to Alaska and tries to lose himself in the icy wilderness. But when a plane crashes into the mountainside Chase is camping on, circumstances take a dramatic and strange turn. After rushing to the site to look for survivors Chase is thrust into a bizarre series of events when he discovers the body of the First Lady aboard the plane. It doesn't take long before Chase is caught in the middle of a major intrigue when he saves hostage Paige Campbell while she is being tortured for information about an artifact that was on the plane and an organization known as Tangent. What starts out looking a lot like a typical mystery/thriller soon takes on an "X-Files" like flavor as Travis is introduced to the secrets of The Breach and he learns that our world may butt-up against another dimension full of dangerous technology that could destroy our world.
"The Breach" is a fun book that kind of reads like the literary love-child of Lincoln Child and Dean Koontz. It fiddles with scientific theory but never gets detailed enough to be confusing for the scientifically illiterate (like me). It has all the action you would expect from a thriller but it also adds a nice bit of fantasy flair that keeps you guessing wondering what the next revelation is going to be. But what really impressed me about Lee's writing was his ability to stay just ahead of what could have been a real credibility gap. Every time he'd throw another twist into the mix a half-dozen questions would pop-into my head; you know the type-- the ones that make it impossible to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the book. But Lee does a good job- really good- of quickly checking each one off the list and allowing you to get back into the flow of the story.
But if I have to give one reason why I would recommend "The Breach" it's the ending; I didn't see it coming. Maybe that's a reflection on my skills as a reader. But it's rare that a book can surprise me and this one did. I loved the twist at the end and couldn't wait to get my hands on the sequel, Ghost Country-- which happens to be the first book I have pre-ordered since the last installment to the Harry Potter saga.
"The Breach" isn't one of those philosophically profound books. It's not a life-changer (though how often do you find one of those?). But it is really entertaining. A book I couldn't wait to get back to and finish in record time.

Glad you liked it. As I mentioned before, GHOST COUNTRY is just as riveting.

I love books with an ending that seems to come from total left field! I also like anything with an X-file type of vibe. Looks like this will go on the "To Read" list!
Great review!
- Clark said...
Breach was a great book, thanks for the review! Another great sci-fi of 2010 was award-winning author Leonid Korogodski's Pink Noise. Pink Noise is a prose poem in disguise. Even when it touches upon science! The language is so compelling, I simply had to follow, even though I don't really read science fiction all that much.

Man, you can rip through some books, yo!

Glad I found this- as a fan of both Koontz and Child, this sounds awesome. Loved the comment about the Oprah angst club- I read the first 3 and decided bach then, if she recommends a book, I need to run as fast as I can in the other direction.

Cover and Places to Raise Young for Bees
"Bee Houses" are easy and fun to make or can be purchased commercially from several vendors. Make a bee house:
The Orchard Mason Bee is a wonderful little creature. Be sure to be cautious of the use of insecticides around bees and especially during open bloom. Use products that are recommended and during times that the bees will not suffer.
The male Orchard Mason Bee can not sting and the female rarely stings.
The Orchard Mason Bee does not live in a nest like other bees, it lives in wooden blocks, but does not drill holes and destroy wooden items like other bees. It uses holes that are already available.
How to build the bee house: With a drill bit of various sizes (5/16th of an inch works best for Mason bees) simply take some scrap lumber and drill holes 3 to 5 inches deep but not all the way through the wood block.
For example get a piece of 4 inch by 4 inch piece of wood and drill holes that are 3 and 1/2 inches deep.
You can cover the holes with chicken wire to help keep birds away from the bee house.
Securely place the bee house on the South side of buildings, fence posts, or trees.
Scatter some of the houses throughout your community. You may find an excellent location to trap some bees and then move them to your location.
DO NOT move bee houses after they are in place until at least November.
DO NOT spray insecticides on or around bee houses.
If you choose to build your own bee houses, DO NOT use treated wood.

The new cartoon's supposed to have an animation style similar to Resolute, and be darker than previous shows (aside from Resolute). So there's still a good chance that the figures could be realistically styled.
That Low-Light from the POC line looks pretty awesome. I guess I'll not use the Duke from the TRU set to make one.


text: Getting a pup from a very good pedigree soon, and will train it for hunting and hunt tests. And I'm also getting married soon and fiancé has a 2 year old little boy. He's awesome and loves my older (already pretty well trained) dogs. This will be my first experience raising a new pup along with a little boy. I've read all the pros and know that consistency is paramount. I'm more interested in hearing personal experiences from people here who raise and train dogs incorporating kids as well. I want him to be involved, to the extent a 2 year old can be involved, but I don't want to hinder the training process. Any advice or tips?

consider that the people who do not view Lisp as a kind of C++ (and such people are, thankfully, the majority of Lisp users) really appreciate CMUCL's reluctance to perform invasive compile-time checking of function argument types. that's because in Lisp, unlike in C++, functions can be redefined at any time. if you still want the compiler to perform such checks, though, try declaiming FOO's type at the top level (so that it effectively becomes a part of FOO's interface), like this:
(declaim (ftype (function (float) float) foo))
that way you will (among other compiler verbiage) get a warning about the type of 1 not being FLOAT.

For those people wondering what the problem is with LICQ, apparantly compiling with -fno-rtti causes it to segfault whenever it accesses code in a plugin that requires it (such as the QT plugin when it's linked against libqt2.2). Upstream is aware (and it was fixed in CVS), but I haven't been able to get it working on 0.85. I am considering simply packaging a CVS snapshot; I'm just not sure how to handle a version number for it yet.
The question of enabling SSL support will wait until I've gotten my subscription to debian-legal sorted out so I can ask questions about whether or not I need to give the package up for adoption by someone in the free world.
Oh, on the off chance that you come across this, sorry to hear about Netizen, Skud. We've only encountered each other in passing, but I hope you folks all find another happy home to hack in.

Every time I run the Steam application, ads keep popping up on the bottom left of the screen. This is the built in Steam application, NOT my internet browser ( which does not have this problem ).
The Steam community is useless on solving this issue, and Google turns up nothing useful on the subject. As far as I can tell, there are no processes attached to this bug. Any idea on what it is, and how to get rid of it?

Book Launch: Ian Dallas - Collected Works
"A Scotsmans intellectual journey to Islam"
A Presentation by Abdussabur Kirke - Director, Budgate Press
Many authors are entertaining. Some, a few, are important. Then at times in history, seldom, like comets, at once portending and celebrated there are those who are way-marks of the age.
Spanning forty years, the plays and prose of Ian Dallas weave a fabric from those threads that define what the twentieth century was, and what will in turn define the 21st. The Couple. The end of the State. What was done to belief in God. And what is to come.

Julian Assange
Julian Assange is the controversial public face of WikiLeaks, an international website that gives whistleblowers an anonymous way to publish sensitive documents. Assange is a former computer hacker and security specialist whose own personal history is sketchy: according to reports in The Guardian, his parents ran a touring theater troupe in Australia before divorcing, and Assange was married at 18 and had a son before his own marriage broke up. In 1991 he was arrested for computer hacking in Australia, eventually pleading guilty to 25 counts but paying only a fine. Late in 2006 he helped found WikiLeaks.org, a website which describes itself as a "an anonymous global avenue for disseminating documents the public should see." WikiLeaks has published leaked documents on hundreds of topics, including oil scandals in Peru, the Church of Scientology, climate research, the contents of a Sarah Palin email account, and procedures for the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay. In April of 2010 it released Collateral Murder, leaked video of a deadly 2007 U.S. Army helicopter attack on Iraqi citizens, and in July of that year it released more than 92,000 documents relating to the war in Afghanistan. White-haired, secretive and nomadic, Julian Assange has lived long periods in Australia, Kenya, Sweden, and other countries. In August of 2010 he was accused of sexual assault by two women in Sweden. Swedish authorities investigated, then closed the investigation, then opened it again, and the investigation is ongoing.
Julian Assange's last name is pronounced AY-sanj… WikiLeaks is unrelated to Wikipedia, the popular open-source encyclopedia.

Kevin Smith's Silent Bob Speaks - a collection of the writer/director's various articles from the past few years.

Not so sure they count as books, but I read a few of the "Sin City" graphic novels (The Hard Goodbye and Booze, Broads, & Bullets). Still ticked I didn't get a chance to see the movie...

You are correct on both accounts, Amrose (who on the whole I think isn't worth the hype) wrote Band of Brothers about Easy Company of the 506 PIR, 101st Airborne Div. during WW II. This other Band of Brothers is by a different guy who writes historical fiction and is set during the tall ship era. I think this one will be just prior to the American War of Independence.Originally Posted by Rocketboy
I read Fight Club, Choke, Lullaby, Invisible Monsters and Diary last summer. I think I liked Choke the best (only because the movie ruined Fight Club) but they were all interesting (albeit wierd) reads.Originally Posted by jjreason
Right now I am reading "Squandered Victory" by Larry Diamond - a book about the US in Iraq.
I just finished "War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells because I'd never read it before
and "Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle because I had never read that before either.
While camping I read 2 books and got a loittle more than half way through a third.
Star Wars Revenge of the Sith novelization. Parts of it are better than the movie (Anakin's seduction to the dark side, for example). And there were a few mentions of expanded universe stuff that shouldn't have been in there, IMO (how many besides hardcore fans know who Ventress is?).
Found a copy of Gregory McDonald's Flecth Won. Good, funny, fast paced stuff. I definitely see Kevin Smith doing this book as a movie.
About half way through Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking. In December 1937 the Japanese army invaded the Chinese city of Nanking and went ****ing berzerk. In as little as six weeks, they brutally murdered an estimated 300,000 Chinese people. In the process of the killing, they savagely raped as many women as they could find (and age didn't matter), looted and burned much of the city to the ground. The Japanese soldiers had fun doing it too. They made up games with the killing, such as seeing how many can they behead in an hour or how fast can they kill 100 people. Sick, disturbing, and all too real.

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Others read so far:
- The Ways of White Folks Langston Hughes
- Harry Potter & the H-B Prince JK Rowling (a little small press, cult following book )
- Ishmael Daniel Quinn (a very interesting dialogue about life and the people of the world)
Currently reading:
- The Story of B Daniel Quinn (see above)
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
A few more reads...
My Ishamel Daniel Quinn (a different version of the very interesting dialogue about life and the people of the world; it's the "end" of that series of stories)
O Pioneers! Willa Cather
That puts my book count at 20, roughly 4900 pages... and counting!
Cuurently starting A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. I can't remember if I've read the entire book before (I know I was tested on parts of it in a high school class). Need to remind myself of Joyce's style before I tackle his Finnegan's Wake; Joseph Campbell was married to this book, I believe, since he wrote about it, oh I'd say maybe ONE-HUNDRED MEEELLION TIMES!
Also trying to find a library with a decent copy of The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Skikibu, possibly the world's first true novel, written by a Japanese woman about 800 years ago, I think.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Here are a few more I've finished...
The Rain God Arturo Islas (an interesting Mexican-American story of culture clashing and maturing)
The Wedding Dress Carrie Young (a collection of stories about Norwegian settlers in the Dakotas)
The Poorhouse Fair John Updike (my first Updike read, his first novel; a weird 1984 meets Driving Miss Daisy story)
Dark Nest I: The Joiner King Troy Denning (read my review of it in its own thread here).
I think that puts me at 25 books at around 6300 pages this summer. My goal is always to reach at least 20 in the summer (c'mon! it's almost 3 months worth of "free time" off ). BTW, I keep a list (anyone who knows me, knows that "Bel-Cam" is an anagram for "list maker" ) of all the books I've ever read, at least as many as I can recall or find proof (minus comic books, magazines, trivia books, really short books, or kids picture books). It's at 560 books, of which 193 are Star Wars ones. And I hope to keep it growing!
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Bookos I read a long time ago and recommend... My favorite book is Autobiography of Malcolm X. Reading about his change from criminal to militant firebrand, to the path of peace is amazing. Reading about his experiences in Egypt and Mecca (I think it was Mecca), and his realization of what Islam is really about was very touching. Then, reading the epilogue about his assassination and funeral brought tears to my eyes.
After seeing "Bram Stokers Dracula" at the movies I wanted to erad the book, and it was great.
Currently reading the newest SW book - Joiner King.

Multiplex 10: Good Talk
Saturday, April 29, 2017
Angie, like Franklin, is another significant character from Multiplex who only gets a brief cameo in the pilot episode. So here she is in a Multiplex 10 comic strip.
At nearly $13,250 (as I write this), we're allllllmost at 90% funding with EIGHT DAYS to go. We need your support to make this pilot happen — and to help distribute it so that we can make more than just one episode! Check out the Multiplex 10 Kickstarter project page today! (Please.)
Also, in case you missed it, there were a couple of new… uh, I'm not sure how to refer to them. "Promo comics," I guess? The Multiplex 10 versions of Melissa & Becky and Franklin introduce themselves and talk about the animated short and one of the Kickstarter milestones, like the Kurt & Jason one I posted here a while ago. I posted those around the social medias and the separate, Multiplex 10-specific site, which some of you may not know about.

My 4 year old BLF injured her left forefoot last friday retrieving a pheasant. The bird was dropped behind a fallen log and into cover, my dog took the hazard and cover as she has been trained to do, it would've been a great retrieve. Unfortunately the cover behind the log was not stable and gave way resulting in a moderate to severe sprain.
The silver lining to the injury is two fold.
1. The injury should only take my BLF out of action for two weeks, so although not good it could've been much worse.
2. And the real silver lining, for the next two weeks our two old chocolate female gets to be the only dog in the field. I've known for some time that I should leave the BLF at home for at least a trip or two and take only the 2 year old but I lacked the personal discipline to do so, I just couldn't go into the field without MY DOG. Last Saturday was the first day we hunted the 2 year old by herself, what a joy! The young dog had a never seen confidence, she found 3 coveys of quail and recovered all birds that we downed. She hunted for 4 hunters, quartering perfectly never leaving a bush unchecked.
At the end of the day, the pup was happy , my son was proud, and everyone in the hunting party congratulated and thanked my son for bringing his dog. Now for the next two weeks the pup will be the only dog in the duck blind and I'm planning on at least 2 to 3 more upland hunts. I am certain that this new level of confidence will flow into Dixie's training.
I guess everything happens for a reason.

The event for tomorrow was canceled due to the snow/ice conditions. This weather has been horrible this year. I've had to take a break from my normal regimen because my dog cut one of his pads about 3 weeks ago, had to let it heal. Yesterday we finally got out and did some drills on the road to build his stamina back up. In April we have another Informal, not sure yet as to when, the date has been changed. It's either on the 13th or the 20th. The website should be updated, otherwise notify me again and I'll let you know.
Kevin, SMHRA is also having an informal test (practice) on March 23rd. More details will be forthcoming on the website when they are available in the next few days. It usually costs about $10 unless you join the club, then it is free. You can earn a ribbon in either Junior/Senior/Master if you run it like a test. Void the ribbon if you choose to have your dog wear an e-collar, they are pretty laid back with everyone just getting ready for the Hunt Test season.

I assumed these belonged to Reflections II but they dont appear on Decipher's list or any other list for any of the sets for that matter. Where did these cards come from and what set do they belong to?

Hearing for Hernandez associate rescheduledAP , Associated Press
Jul. 22, 2013 7:44 PM ET
ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — A pre-trial hearing for a man charged as an accessory to murder in the case involving former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has been rescheduled.
Bristol District Attorney Samuel Sutter said the hearing for Ernest Wallace in Attleboro District Court will be held on Friday.
The hearing was originally set for Monday but a spokesman for the district attorney said both sides agreed to a postponement.
Wallace has pleaded not guilty to a charge of being an accessory to murder after the fact in the killing of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder.
Prosecutors haven't offered details about Wallace's alleged involvement. They say he and another man, Carlos Ortiz, were with Hernandez when they drove with Lloyd to the industrial park where Lloyd was found shot to death.

Climate change impacts are being felt across the globe as sea levels rise, tropical storms smash into coastlines, once-fertile lands battle with floods or drought and permafrost in the polar regions melts. Although Africa contributes relatively little to global warming, the region is suffering from its effects.
Over 180 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone could die as a result of climate change by the end of the century. Unpredictable rainfall patterns, lower crop yields, soaring food prices and dwindling natural resources are already causing increased human migration, tension and conflict.
South Africa can influence the battle against climate change, being an active member of the African Union, a vocal member of the G77, and one of the four developing countries poised to become a southern engine of global economic growth.
Its powerful combination of strong international leadership, progressive thinking and forward-looking policies are reflected in its calls for dramatic cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions and for mechanisms to help vulnerable countries adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Catastrophic climate change and uncontrollable debt are burdens South Africans will have to bear for their government's addiction to coal. On top of the escalating construction costs for Kusile, the monstrous coal-fired power plant, the country will have to pay up to R60.6 billion per year for the external costs associated with it.
Eskom should stop construction at Kusile and invest in renewable energy solutions, which guarantee thousands of new jobs, while there is still time. The true cost of building this power station is much more than South Africans can afford to pay.
The ground-breaking report, Powering the Future: Renewable Energy Roll-out in South Africa, debunks important myths about renewable energy generation; offers solutions to the barriers to its deployment; and presents success stories from across the globe.
South Africa can and should champion a renewable energy future, one in which we see increased access to cheap electricity, thousands of new jobs and the democratisation of energy production. An Energy [R]evolution is possible if our leaders are willing to champion the cause.
South Africa can create around 150 000 new jobs in the energy sector in the next 20 years, and at the same time safeguard against catastrophic climate change -- according to Greenpeace's 'Advanced Energy [R]evolution' report.
The report shows that renewable energy is mature, ready for implementation, and can be deployed on a large scale. It means that as renewable energy is scaled up, we can start phasing out coal, an energy source incompatible with the goal of avoiding runaway climate change.

Survivor gives account of 2001 Jerusalem pizzeria bombing, Feb. 24
Posted February 24, 2003; 09:55 a.m.
Rabbi Binny Freedman, survivor of the August 2001 suicide bombing attack in Jerusalem, will present a lecture titled "Inside the Cauldron: A Survivor's Account of the Jerusalem Sbarro's Pizzeria Bombing" at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 24, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Originally from New York, Freedman is educational director of Isralight, a Jewish education/outreach program. "Walking into Sbarro's, there is a larger area for sitting in the front, but the back looked a bit cooler and quieter, so I decided to grab a seat in the back," he wrote. "That decision saved my life."
Freedman is an ordained rabbi, a storyteller and a musician, as well as an Israeli Defense Forces company commander. His weekly thoughts on Judaism and spirituality reach thousands of people around the world. He speaks about his harrowing experience, the trauma of Sept. 11 and other instances of terror in a spiritual and holistic manner, trying to find some message behind the violence.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs , Center for Jewish Life , International Center , Program in Near Eastern Studies , Program in Jewish Studies and Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students . After the lecture, there will be an opportunity for discussion at the Center for Jewish Life.

The Glomerular Diseases Clinic focuses on specific kidney diseases that affect the glomeruli, which are the small filter parts of the kidney. These filters can become clogged or damaged and allow protein and blood to leak into the urine, where they are not normally found. While this abnormal blood and protein is one of the main signs that a person has a glomerular kidney disease, it is not usually something that can be seen with the naked eye. It is found with simple laboratory tests of the urine. Further blood, urine, and kidney tests often help doctors determine how severe the disease is, and may help determine its cause.
Not all glomerular diseases are severe, but some are. Some may weaken the kidneys to the point where they no longer are able to clean the blood well. This may lead to kidney failure and the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
The goal of the Glomerular Diseases Clinic is to help diagnose the cause of a person's kidney problem, and then select the best ways to treat it.
Below is more information about specific glomerular diseases, the way they are diagnosed, and some of the treatments that are used. There are helpful links to other web sites where more information is available.

|best damn 10a in Ventura! bring a yellow alien as your first piece. the only Granite in Ventura!
By Joe Stern
From: Moab, Utah
Aug 15, 2011
rating: 5.10b 6a+ 19 VII- 19 E2 5b
Thanks for properly equipping the arete, Matthew! Classic climbing and much more conveniently bolted than the 5.10c version of Goulara.
A #2 camalot (or other) adequately protects the start. Alternatively, a stick clip was stashed at the base as of 8-14-11 (or BYOSC). Although there are a few granitic cobbles en route, this climb of course ascends a section of conglomerate.
+1 for best 10a in Ventura, although it felt more like 10b to me (despite the original rating of 5.9).

|There's a new low bolt on this route at exactly the same height as the pod for the #2 BD cam. My tall partner was able to clip the new bolt from a big ledge eliminating the run out factor. As someone who's taken the fall onto the #2 (and doesn't like carrying around a stick clip), I appreciate the new bolt

|The new bolt is in bad taste. Climbers who were sketched out by the runout to the first bolt had at least two options for making this safe.

Awesome, long route!!! My favorite at Wheeler!
First bolt is ridiculously high though. I've never placed gear but fortunately a friend who was with us had some so I placed a #1 C4 and three stoppers before the first bolt (too many I know) in the hope that if I fell at least one peace would hold. I would suggest that this route be re-categorized as trad (or at least be given an R rating since a fall at the first bolt would likely result in serious injury) if it can't be adequately protected with a sport rack. I recognize I'm a sport climber with limited experience but if I had only a sport rack with me, I would not consider this route to be climbable. That said, it's a great route which I highly recommend, just bring a #1 and some nuts.

|Right, maybe I wasn't being clear. My point was that if you're placing cams then it's not really a sport climb and if sport climbers show up with just a sport rack then the route is probably too dangerous for a 5.10a leader. This is unfortunate because they would be missing out on a great climb! For me, a #1 C4 and a couple nuts provided great protection.

Much respect to Joe W today for his lead of this one. Plugged a cam, ignored the bolt, and cruised the crux.

Great 5.10a in beautiful rock! I had a hard time being out of shape but still made it happen - a fun climb with lots of great runouts! You will love it
That first bolt is there as far as I can tell and it protects the beginning really well

The bolt is back.
I have long regarded this area as one of the true gems of the Central Coast, so I greatly appreciate the recent focus and attention that Wheeler Gorge is getting from route developers. Alex B.'s development of the second tier, above Danger Boy, is absolutely thrilling.
But it bugs the hell out of me that someone (I know its not you, Alex) is altering existing routes. On what planet is this acceptable? There are gray areas in the bolting realm, but is adding a bolt to someone else's route really in this gray area? Goulara is not some old-school route, where we can debate whether or not the aging bolt that protects the runout crux should be replaced. The route is perfectly safe, as others have indicated.
Please leave existing routes alone.

|Okay, I'm tired of the bolt crap. Since the people who keep putting the bolt back in are doing it secretly and have never had the insight to tell the climbing community who they are and why they think they have the right to alter someone else's route, it has led to this. I'm from here on out putting MYSELF, Chuck Ethics as the guy who WILL remove that bolt EVERY TIME it goes back in. If you want your hangers back, shoot me an email but it will be removed again and again. If one person starts altering routes because it makes them feel safer, it's just one big slippery slope to the whole climbing scene getting grid bolted in the name of safety. I've never been a mean guy but this climbing stuff means more to me than anything.

|I'm going to leave that first comment up because I'm serious about it... however, I don't WANT to have to adopt this alter ego of Chuck Ethics, I don't WANT to have to be the loud guy, but Hey people, where are you're comments? How does everyone feel about this issue that's popping up in our backyards? We're a community, I'm not the guy who should have to enforce anything, we should all chime in and say what we feel. Remember, issues of altering others routes don't just stop at this one route, it can extend all the way across California or the whole country. We as the community are the only ones who can set standards and hold people accountable for doing what they aren't supposed too. Please let your voices be heard, but I'm still removing the bolt.

Thank goodness there was a stick previous climbers had left at the base so I could rig a stick clip to first bolt. The beginning of this route is begging to do serious harm to an over zealous climber who thinks they can reach the first bolt. Is this is human experiment in trying to maim climbers leading near their limit?
I couldn't agree more with Guy's comments on the Goulara route since these both share the same start
This is not to diss route developers at Wheeler as they have done a great job developing the crag, and we are all grateful, but someone is going to slip on this one and go tumbling into the gorge

|Great route! But, because of the style old school respect is in session. 1st make sure you put a runner around the tree just off the dirt. This will keep you out of the creek. Then either man up and go through the crux, or slam a cam in. Your choice. Once your through with this trad stuff, continue on to clip bolts to the top.

|definitely protect the start with some gear or risk a terrible fall. after you clip the first bolt and pull onto the arete, super easy and best exposure for the area. Rock quality is a little questionable but a classic wheeler route.

Under route detailes where it says PROTECTION a #1 or 2 Camelot should be listed in my opinion. Just like all the other info this is relevant so people don't get hurt. That's another reason I think Mountain Project should have kept the option of listing a route as Trad/Sport mixed. They do exist and are fun.
This is one of the best climbs at wheeler and it would be a shame to show up without a cam and not be able to lead this thing clean or at all.

Human Rights Watch: Ban "Terminator" Robots Before We Lose Control

Humanitarian group predicts war crimes and worse if robot AIs are trained to target and kill humans
Thus far, no nation has produced a fully autonomous robotic soldier.
I. Human Rights Watch Warns of Robotic War Crimes
However, many observers fear we are creeping towards an era in which automated killing machines are a staple of the battlefield. The U.S. and other nations have been actively been developing
, and
unmanned vehicles. Most of these machines are imbued with some degree of artificial intelligence and operate in a semi-autonomous fashion. However, they currently have a human operator in the loop, (mostly) in control.
But experts fear that within 20 to 30 years artificial intelligence and
military automation
will have advanced to the point where nations consider deploying fully automated war robots to kill their enemies.
International humanitarian group and war-crimes watchdog
Human Rights Watch
has published a 50-page report entitled "
Losing Humanity: The Case Against Killer Robots
", which calls on world governments to install a global ban on autonomous killing robots, similar to current prohibitions on the use of chemical warfare agents.
Current generation war robots, like the MAARS robot, have a human operator in the loop.
[Image Source: Wired]
Steve Goose
, Arms Division director at Human Rights Watch, "Giving machines the power to decide who lives and dies on the battlefield would take technology too far. Human control of robotic warfare is essential to minimizing civilian deaths and injuries. It is essential to stop the development of killer robots before they show up in national arsenal. As countries become more invested in this technology, it will become harder to persuade them to give it up."
II. Ban the 'Bots
The proposal, co-endorsed by the
Law School
International Human Rights Clinic
, also calls on a prohibition on development, production, and testing of fully autonomous war robots.
The groups address the counter-argument -- that
robotic warfare saves the lives of soldiers
-- arguing that it makes war too convenient. They argue that an "autocrat" could turn
cold, compassionless robots
on killing their own civilian population. It would be much harder to convince humans to do that.
Countries could also claim their cyber-soldiers "malfunctioned" to try to get themselves off the hook for war crimes against other nations' civilians.
And of course science fiction fans will recognize the final concern -- that their could be
legitimate bugs
in the AI which cause the robots to either not properly calculate a proportional response to violence, to not distinguish between civilian or soldier, or --
worst of all "go Terminator"
and turn on their fleshy masters.
Comments Mr. Goose, "Action is needed now, before killer robots cross the line from science fiction to feasibility."

Volkmann's contracture is a deformity of the hand, fingers, and wrist caused by injury to the muscles of the forearm.
See also: Compartment syndrome
Ischemic contracture
Volkmann's contracture occurs when there is a lack of blood flow (ischemia) to the forearm. This usually occurs when there is increased pressure due to swelling, a condition called compartment syndrome.
Trauma to the arm, including a crush injury or fracture, can lead to swelling that presses on blood vessels and can decrease blood flow to the arm. A prolonged decrease in blood flow will injure the nerves and muscles, causing them to become stiff (scarred) and shortened.
When the muscle shortens, it pulls on the joint at the end of the muscle just as it would if it were normally contracted. But because it is stiff, the joint remains bent and cannot straighten. This condition is called a contracture.
In Volkmann's contracture, the muscles of the forearm are severely injured. This leads to contracture deformities of the fingers, hand, and wrist.
There are three levels of severity in Volkmann's contracture:
The injury that usually causes this condition is an elbow fracture in children. Other conditions that can cause increased pressure in the forearm include:
The main symptom is pain that does not improve with rest or pain medications, and continues to get worse with time. If the pressure is allowed to continue, there will be:
The doctor will perform a physical exam. If you have compartment syndrome in the forearm, you will have severe pain when the doctor moves the fingers up and down. Your forearm may be very swollen and shiny. You will feel pain when your forearm is squeezed.
The diagnosis can be confirmed with a test that directly measures pressure in the area. This involves inserting a needle into the affected area. The needle is attached to a pressure meter. There is a specific pressure level that confirms the diagnosis of compartment syndrome.
If there is a forearm or elbow fracture, you should use a sling or splint to keep the area still and raise the arm above heart level. This helps prevent further injury and excessive swelling.
The best treatment is early surgery to release the pressure in the forearm before any permanent injury to the muscles and nerves occurs. Reconstructive surgery to lengthen and sometimes transfer muscles is necessary to try to regain some hand function.
How well a person does depends on the severity and stage of disease at the time treatment is started.
If surgery to relieve pressure is performed before permanent damage occurs, then the outcome is usually excellent. The wounds are usually left open (covered with a sterile dressing) and closed later (usually 48 - 72 hrs later) during a second surgery, once the swelling has resolved. Sometimes, several surgeries are needed to close the wound safely.
If there is high pressure in the forearm for an extended period of time, the muscles and nerves can be permanently damaged. If a nerve is compressed for longer than 12 to 24 hours, it will usually become permanently damaged.
People with mild muscle contractures involving only a few fingers have a better chance of returning to normal function. People who lose normal function of all the muscles that move the fingers and wrist need major reconstructive surgery and do not have a complete recovery.
The more severe the contracture, the worse the function of the hand and wrist. In severe cases, the hand may not work at all, and you may have a loss of sensation (feeling) in the area.
Contact your health care provider for an appointment if you have had an injury to your elbow or forearm and have developed swelling, numbness, and continued pain.

Heinz Kowaczek
Madison - Heinz Kowaczek passed away early Sunday morning, January 6, 2013 after a short illness. He was 92. Henry was born in Germany and served as a tank commander on the eastern front in Word War II. He was wounded, captured, escaped and walked across Romania to re-join his troops. His stories from this time were an unending source of wonder to his family. He married Stefanie Hofer in the last days of the war and escaped with his bride to surrender to the Americans in the west. Following the war, Henry and Stefanie immigrated to America and were assigned to work on a farm outside of Madison, beginning with nothing but the clothing on their backs, no friends or relatives and speaking no English. Then through hard work, frugality and a commitment to personal responsibility they achieved the American dream. Henry worked as a bricklayer and stonemason. He built his home in the Arboretum with his own hands, and many of the beautiful homes and public buildings in Dane county will reflect for generations to come the skill of this master craftsman. He loved lake Wingra and spent countless hours catching bluegills in its waters. Henry was a model of tolerance, good-will, optimism and cheerfulness. Until this winter, he and Stefanie took daily walks through his beloved arboretum.
He was preceded in death by his daughter Sybil, and is survived by his wife Stefanie, daughter Kerstin and husband Steve, grandchildren Jed, Ben and wife Lindsey, Erika and husband Greg and Chris and 2 great-grandchildren, Josie and Lily. The lives of his family and his wonderful neighbors and friends are all better for having known him. Wir lieben dich Opa Henry.
A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 10, 2013 at CRESS FUNERAL HOME, 3610 Speedway Road, Madison. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Friends of the Arboretum, Inc at 1207 Seminole Highway, Madison, 53711.

Killer's suicide prompts action to dismiss charges
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A serial killer's recent suicide has prompted federal prosecutors to seek dismissal of charges in the slaying of an Alaska barista.
Prosecutors in Anchorage said in a motion filed this week that the indictment against Israel Keyes "is abated by his death" by law.
A federal magistrate recommends granting the motion and has forwarded it to the judge assigned to the case against Keyes, who confessed to the February murder of 18-year-old barista Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, as well as others across the country.
Keyes confessed to the 2011 murders of Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex, Vt., and as many as five unnamed victims, four in Washington state and one on the East Coast, the body dumped in New York. Investigators believe there could be more victims as well.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Acting up about Juniper
Shares of Juniper Networks (JNPR) are up $2.23, or almost 10%, at $25.77, at $25.05, after activist investors Elliott Management this morning said it filed a form 13-D with the Securities & Exchange Commission in conjunction with proposals to management to boost the stock's value through "cost realignment, capital return to shareholders, and the optimization of Juniper's product portfolio," including a $3.5 billion share repurchase and a 2% dividend payout, which would boost the stock as high as $40. Elliott has taken a 6.2% stake in the shares.
You'll recall that last Wednesday, Elliott last week offered $19 per share to buy fellow networker Riverbed Technology (RVBD). ISI Group's Brian Marshall, who has a Strong Buy on the stock, and a $28 price target, writes this morning that "we believe the "Elliott Proposals" should receive serious consideration from management."
Speaking of Juniper, before the Elliott news hit, Stifel Nicolaus's Sanjiv Wadhwani reiterated a Hold rating on the stock in a note to clients, writing that his "checks" suggest the company's Q4 started off slow but "activity picked up" later on and probably the company will post at the mid-point or higher of its forecast for 2.5% growth.
Apple's chart looks nice
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $6.32, or 1.2%, at $539.26, following a note from chartists Oracle Investment Research's Lawrence Isaac Balter, who reiterates a Strong Buy rating on the shares, and raises his price target to $675, anticipating that "With the Icahn proposal receiving a lukewarm response, we believe Apple's board will raise the dividend (either now or over the course of the year) to compete with the yield on the 10 year US Treasury instead. This makes for a more compelling case when searching the investable universe for yield." "As far as technicals go, we see this nice support line, showing the market appetite for AAPL shares are increasing."
Note CNBC chatted a bit this morning about the company's ad during the NFL Playoffs yesterday for the iPad, and whether it heralds a broader attack on the enterprise market.
Apple stock appears not to be feeling any drag from a negative piece by Cleveland Research, which asserts that pre-orders of the iPhone 5S at China Mobile (CHL) may have totaled about 10 million so far, which the firm claims is below expectations for about 15 million to 30 million.
Security is hot
Shares of security networker Fortinet (FTNT) are up 44 cents, over 2%, at $20, after Morgan Stanley's Keith Weiss raised his rating on the shares to Overweight from Equal Weight, with a $25 price target, writing that the company is "well positioned" for a "refresh cycle" in corporate security spending this year.
"While an uneven spending environment in 2013 impacted results for many security vendors, recent data points show evidence that the demand environment is on the mend," writes Weiss. Weiss also raised his ratings on Red Hat (RHT) and Autodesk (ADSK) to Overweight.
Some love for Cisco
Cisco Systems (CSCO) shares are up 47 cents, or 2%, at $22.69, following a positive mention this week in Barron's print magazine by my colleague Jack Hough, who argues the valuation is low enough, and the dividend high enough, to take a chance despite threats of "software-defined networking."
Shares of Silicom (SILC) are up 45 cents, or almost 1%, at $46.90, after Needham & Co.'s Alex Henderson this morning started coverage of the stock with a Buy rating, and a $57 price target, writing that "one of the most interesting companies; we have run across in a while."
The company makes sub-assemblies for storage systems, and "is partnering with Intel (INTC) to drive growth in the "white label appliance" market targeting Web 2.0 and IaaS (infrastructure as a service) companies."
Better times for chip equipment
And Henderson's colleague, Y. Edwin Mok, this morning offers a positive outlook on 2014 spending for the chip equipment vendors, writing that "Our recent checks suggest strong orders going into 1Q14, providing visibility for shipment growth in 1H14."

RE:Snake River dams
Thats interesting Juro. The amount and diversity of fish our rivers once supported is truly amazing. Reading old accounts of how many fish went up and down our rivers boggles the mind a bit. I sometimes find it frustrating to see so much attention in the media given to the enviroment of far off places when some of the richest and most unique run through our own backyards.
RE:Snake River dams
Just a note:
Almost four decades before Lewis & Clark, an admiral from Pembroke MA led a sailing vessel that was constructed and launched from the North River near Scituate. The crew sailed around the southern tip of South America and up the other side to explore a huge river teeming with anadromous fishes - several species of salmon, searun trout, sturgeon, etc. He named the river after his vessel, the USS Columbia.
His son, Admiral Gray Jr, followed his father's journey and was first to navigate the Columbia's biggest tributary, the Snake. Admiral Gray (Jr's) estate is among the most interesting B&B resorts on the sprawling shores of the Columbia, a river giant that holds a mere 13% of wild salmonids compared to the mid 1930's.
The salmon and steelhead are particularly depressed, with certain strains (like the B-run steelhead) in dire straits. In 30 years of trying, barging the smolt from the Snake over the dams to the sea has not shown improvement in adult returns, yet the years corrsponding to high spring runoffs and thus good flow over spillways have shown marked improvements in adult returns. This implies that (a) young salmon and steelhead don't learn their way for their epic journey enclosed in a ship's hold (b) when the young are not forced through the turbines they fare relatively well. When 87% of the wild fish are gone, it's time to put their welfare as high priority before they are replaced by hatchery fish introduced by the millions by recreationally oriented hatcheries and supported by big business like Bonneville Power (dams).
I hope we can continue the trend (as a species) to learn to live with the earth better than we have in the last century. Long live the Snake and her wild steelhead and salmon. There is no hatchery that can do what God has already done right, it's our job to let the river decide what's right for them.
RE:Snake River dams
That is an excellent model for how we can use the web to emphasize our voice in these matters. We'll adopt that approach here in the FORUM for sure.
thanks for the link!
