This morning's GMA took a look inside the growing world of free online sperm donation. Though the FDA is currently cracking down due to lack of regulation, more and more men have shown willingness to give their sperm away at no charge via social networking sites as opposed to selling it to banks. Transactions can be set up wherever the donor and participating mother choose, with Starbucks lavatories being among the most popular (because nothing makes you want to j-off more than a bathroom with a broken lock, no paper towels, and a flooded toilet). The injections are left—thank God—to the woman and her partner.
As the trend increases, it will be interesting to see what restrictions and complications arise. The lack of an intermediary such as a sperm bank could possibly open the door to issues concerning custody and safety, but, on the other hand, families have been taking control of insemination for ages. Could free online sperm donation simply be the modernization of a very old concept?

Picturethisclothing – Fun Way to Design Your Dress
Posted on October 25, 2016 | By English Kid Zone | Leave a response
Who likes to draw? Well, every child likes drawing and coloring. And you must have to spent countless sheets of paper pouring out your imagination. But, it would be a waste to see your work simply piled on pieces of paper. Kids Only In the United States, a mother named Jaimee Newburry came up with […]

I don't think we had mentionned that case yet :) > Also, it tends to be quite unclean. Properties of a performance (date, > place, performers, instruments, etc.) are not properties of an mp3 file. I agree. Add to this that if a property is declared inverse-functional, i.e. an *identifying* property, inheriting it could raise some problem. E.g.: ISBN is identifying the Manifestation, not the Item. > I think it is highly desirable to have a schema as normalised as > possible in your backend, and maybe collapse it in the UI side if it > does bring benefit to the end-user. May be I wasn't clear enough: a normalised schema was indeed what I had in mind. My suggestion was only regarding (some level of) the API, so that developers do not need to understand all the subtleties of the ontology to use the API. Anyway, we will have to do this at some point, because legacy metadata have the bad habit of flattening those abstraction levels. So it might appear that all we have is a set of properties attached to the Item, some of them applying in fact to the Manifestation or Expression, but without any mean to know exactly which (think of dcterms:Contributor). paReceived on Friday, 6 February 2009 14:55:00 UTC

In our second article in this series: Offline Mobile Map Basics: Offline Base-Maps and Layers, we discussed how to take base-maps and layers offline. From Esri-land Tile Packages (TPK) and Feature Layers were key discussion areas. In this third post in the series we will dig a little deeper and focus on offline mobile map editing.
Editing Map Layers Offline
As we have discussed in the previous two posts, base-maps are static. That means they are simply images or tiles stitched together to provide context. Layers are what sit on-top of base-maps and if the are Feature Layers they can be edited. What do we mean by edited? There are three types of editing:
1. Add – Imagine you are working in the pipeline industry, and are viewing on your iPad the current pipe network in an ArcGIS map app. You are currently extending the pipeline; adding an additional line. You will need to update the pipeline layer to include this new section of pipe. That means adding a new line feature.
2. Edit – You are out inspecting a power pole. When you tap the point feature which represents the pole in you mobile map app a list of attributes appears, these describe the pole; type, last inspection date etc. You notice the pole is listed as metal when you can see it is actually wood. You need to edit this features 'material type' attribute so it is accurate.

TAMPA, Florida (WFTS) — An imposter sign language interpreter crashed a Tampa press conference where police were announcing a major arrest in the recent Seminole Heights murders.
But those who are hard of hearing say some of her interpretations didn't make any sense.
"She was standing there twisting her hands back and forth. I could tell automatically that interpreters don't do that," said USF professor Rachelle Settambrino.
Derlyn Roberts showed up posing as a sign language interpreter on a night when many watched for news of a big arrest.
"A lot of them were invented signs and I wasn't able to understand what she was saying," Settambrino said.
As the Tampa police chief spoke about the capture of a serial killer suspect, the deaf and the hard of hearing community were left hanging.
"Most of the time it just looked like she was singing but not using actual signs," Settambrino said.
She says she was disappointed, frustrated and upset.
Victim Monica Hoffa's mother, who is deaf as well, was also there, relying on a phony interpreter.
"She was standing there. She was standing right there and the interpreter was signing in a way that was incomprehensible,"she said.
A Tampa police spokesperson says he didn't do his due diligence that Roberts showed up that night, posing as an American Sign Language interpreter and he did not question her.
The city relies on a pre-paid contractor for interpreters and Tampa police assumed she was sent over.
"We have so many interpreting agencies and proficient skilled interpreters here where did this person come from and why did they not vet her appropriately?," Hoffa said.
To make matters worse, Roberts has a potpourri of mugshots from previous arrests for, believe it or not, fraud. One conviction landed her in state prison.
"Really the trust there is destroyed at that point so who can we rely on," Settambrino said.
Police say they don't know why Roberts posed as an interpreter. They say that what she did is not a crime, but an ethical violation.

I know this isnt in the right forum, but this is somewhat of an emergency. Neg away if you must. Its networking and it can be construed to deal with security
OS - Slackware9
Regular compatible ethernet card.
With a regular ethernet card, that is compatible with linux.. should i have any trouble clearing my netconfig and connecting to a t1 network at a college? I have been behind a NAT router with an assigned static internal address. I was also wondering if the before mentioned would cause problems if i dont setup dhcp to allow me to get a new ip from the T1 network, or if that even mattered. I have no clue how t1 networks work, as i have never read much about them or know much about their topology. I mean, i realise how easy it is in windows, but i was wondering if:
[a] there was anything special i need to do
[b] if Slack9 even works with t1?
[c] Anything else you need to tell me before i leave?
I will be gone to a university for 18 days, and i don't have a spare windowscd... So im stuck with linux if i want an OS, (which i would rather be stuck with linux anyday, as long as i have net access)
I need an answer before around 30 minutes from now. If you dont reply before then, dont worry about it. it is now 1:21 AM
I am in GMT -6
Ill give until 2 am, but i have to pack up this computer quickly, for i am leaving early on in the morning and this needs to go first.
(You can see that im kinda panicky but i forgot to think about it, im sure its compatible. But i couldnt go 18 days without net access to save my life.)
Thanks in advance for prompt replies. i will be bumping this for 30 minutes.

I thought the first episode was visually appealing, but I'll need a few more episodes to decide whether the substance of the story interests me enough to continue watching it.

I do not know if Simoun keeps me thrilled with its production values.
To be honest the first episode did not make much progress to properly introduce the story. We know there's an ongoing war in Daikaraaku, because one faction desperately attempts to bring into the light the mysterious technology of the Simoun machines.
However, it does not solidly establishes their motivations at first hand whether the faction is jealous that the Simula operate and handle a better, advanced technology or feel that the Simoun is dangerous at wrong hands and will easily turn the tide of the war in favor of the Simula, leading to an unreasonable fear of the warring country of being ruled and oppressed.
Moreover, the animation does not convinces me. Why? I'm not fond of the palette used to animate the 2D settings and landscapes; positive sure is watercolor. The 3D CGI animation for the Simoun does not feels to blend within the watercolor scenarios.
When I look at the animation cinematics it seems as if I'm watching a montage with the Simoun pasted over the 2D background settings.
Nor do I approve or praise their use of the soundtrack throughout the episode. It did not feature much musical variety. I quickly got bored listening to extended pieces of symphonic music from the serene scenes to the climax. It could had been played with different tracks featuring opera scores and different styles of classical music, for example, like Escaflowne or Aquarion did.
In short, the musical tracks played did not capture or emphasized the angst and warlike atmosphere.
Then, I just came about a week from finishing Mai-Otome, and Simoun delivers a similar premise. War to take control of a powerful technology that the other party employs to, figuratively speaking, safekeep world's peace in accordance to God's will.
Simoun machines playing the Remergion dance either correctly or incorrectly easily obliterate entire fleets with little effort, and Auer portrays her best to mimick Arika except she isn't much with the 'dream' fad and hops into the heat of the battle right away; please no "oba-chan" references from Auer.
At last, the pace flows disjointly jumping from characters to others without making consistent connections: 1) Neville & Amuria, 2) the Elders discussing the war, 3) the girl who contends the Simoun as devil technology, 4) Auer's arrival to the academy. Only the quasi-religious theme is the link that unites their actions.
Two positive things I'm posting in this review are that I found the design of the Simoun something unique, never I saw in other fantasy mecha anime of the genre.
The rotating wheel of the lower half looks like a monocycle.
Simoun technology also displays insight of how would Industrial Revolution technology evolved without the rise of computers and information networks. Simoun evokes the same sky-war, machines theme like Last Exile.

Just watched episode 1. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. The kisses for what appears to be for no reason whatsoever is a bit much. I like some Yuri as much as anyone else but when it seems to be for no reason it's absurd. And so far nothing explained about their world at all so hope something gets filled in there because I was like scratching my head and muttering what the heck is this to myself.

This page is a machine translation of part of some explanatory posts on 2channel. I don't know who posted it. Someone on 2channel pointed it out as an example of how much foreigners like this show. I think the translation is understandable enough to be useful.
The most recent versions of the original posts are 453-456 in this thread.
Personally, I don't need to know until things are gradually explained. I think the story is clear enough. I like being plunged into the middle of things. For me, the characters' feelings are the most important thing, and I think those come through loud and clear. The reasons for and history of the conflict are less important to me. So your mileage may vary.
And I love the music, and the way it both supports the action and creates a consistent mood. I didn't require more variety. But I love this classical-esque music anyway, so maybe I'm prejudiced.
As for the kisses being for no reason, that's not how it seems to me. It appears that they create power in the pilots that then makes it possible for them to activate the green sphere with their kisses. Of course, the real reason is to give the anime more yuri feeling, lol, but the magic (i.e., future science) makes enough sense to me.
EDIT: It's certainly legit for Tiberium Wolf to be weirded out by the (fe)male voices, but the fact is that every person in the Simoun world starts life as a female, then some of them turn into males at 17 or so. So it's reasonable that adult males should be somewhat less masculine than we are used to. I thought the sequence in ep2 where they dealt with someone possibly changing, and their emotions around it, was really effective.

I, for one, found the concept to be quite unique and interesting (in a 'such a thing could only originate from Japan' sort of way ) I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it.

As for Arika and Aaeru (or whatever the spelling of this name actually is), I think you have a point, come to think of it the similarity is mostly in the way their actions seem to be a few moves ahead of their thinking process, so they act before thinking of all the possible consequences

I have found myself watching episodes 1 and 2 again and again this week. My conclusion: this is a very good show. The character design is extremely effective, and the good voice acting helps it make the characters real. The emotions make sense and are well portrayed. The contrast between the CG and the washy backgrounds is very artistic. The music is outstanding, almost a character on its own, with a very artistic effect on the whole piece. And the story and setting are real science fiction, carrying us into a really different world.
The show has an excellent blog, with caps from and discussion of the next episode. Next week: Mizuki Nana joins the crew. We will have Mizuki Nana, Takahashi Mikako (the girl with braids), Mamiko Noto (the little girl with blue hair, her second role in the show) and Toyoguchi Megumi (young with straight brown hair) in Cor Tempest.
And I really have to give credit to Takahashi Rieko, who does such an outstanding job of working with the outstanding character design to make Neviriru (direct transliteration of the Japanese on the website) such a strong character. I'm still wrestling with the voice of Niino Michi for Aaeru (transliteration from the site). The voice is as rambunctious as the character, lol.
And there is now a glossary of terms on the official site.
EDIT: I've now translated the glossary and put it on my blog.
EDIT2: Big thanks to Yui from Okinawa for his great pages.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo President Satoru Iwata unleashed Wii U news in an installment of Nintendo Direct today as he outlined Nintendo's future plans for the console.

Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.
Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight are more likely to succumb to extreme heat.

The NHL trade deadline isn't until March 5 at 3 p.m. EST, but the heat could be turned up on general manager's to start dealing in the next month.
With the Olympic break set for Feb. 8 a roster freeze goes into effect until the end of the Sochi Games on Feb. 23. Even when the league does resume play on Feb. 26 there will only be a seven-day window to the deadline.
"The roster freeze will act as a deadline, especially for those teams that want to save a little bit of money," said a league executive.
"There's a chance to get deals done in the next few weeks that will get money off the books."
That means if teams like Buffalo, Calgary and Edmonton want to start unloading contracts then they had better get to work. The concern for some teams has to be injuries.
"You have to worry about the fact if some of these guys go to the Olympics and get hurt they won't have any trade value at the deadline," said the executive. "You might be better off to move these guys now and then not have to concerns yourself."
The search for a GM in Buffalo is down to the short strokes. President Pat LaFontaine is expected to name his choice soon and Boston assistant Jim Benning is the frontrunner. It's believed Phoenix assistant Brad Treliving was in the mix with the Sabres but the betting money is on Benning to get the job. Some wonder if LaFontaine will just take the job himself and hire qualified people around him to help provide expertise … Speaking of GM searches, the one in Calgary may be about to officially begin with president Brian Burke getting ready to conduct interviews. You have to think Toronto's assistant GMs Dave Poulin and Claude Loiselle will get a sniff for the Calgary job while Vancouver assistant Laurence Gilman will likely be interviewed. The belief is former Dallas GM Joe Nieuwendyk doesn't have any interest.
After losing defenceman Dennis Seidenberg for the balance of the season with a knee injury, the Bruins have insisted they will try to fill from within. If that doesn't happen, they could kick tires looking for a blueliner to help them fill the minutes. The Bruins could certainly look at Rangers defenceman Dan Girardi. He has been shopped around because New York Rangers GM Glen Sather is concerned he won't be able to re-sign Girardi, who is a UFA on July 1 … Though many expect Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller to get moved that may not be the case. A UFA in the off-season, the new GM is expected to try to sign him and the Sabres may not be able to get what they want in return if they do move him. The asking price for Miller is three prospects and a No. 1 pick in return if they are going to make a deal. The only option for Miller is St. Louis and they may not be willing to deal.
Montreal GM Marc Bergevin has been shopping for forward depth for the playoffs. One player he may have looked at is Calgary left wing Curtis Glencross, who has two years left at $2.55 million per-season. You have to think at some point the Flames are going to revisit Glencross and see if he's willing to accept a deal. The Habs are looking to move centre Daniel Briere because he hasn't been playing well under coach Michel Therrien and was scratched Thursday in Dallas. Briere won't go just anywhere … The Coyotes will be looking for forward depth. The guy they may have targeted: Sabres winger Matt Moulson.
As this space has insisted, Carolina GM Jim Rutherford started the ball rolling on trades by dealing defenceman Tim Gleason to the Maple Leafs on New Year's Day in exchange for fellow blueliner John-Michael Liles. The trade doesn't make a whole lot of sense but the thinking amongst league executives is that Gleason hasn't played well all year and needed a change of scenery. The belief is the Hurricanes won't stop there. I've been told by a couple of teams that Rutherford is willing to trade anybody with the exception of centre Eric Staal and his brother Jordan Staal. Teams will certainly call about left wing Jeff Skinner, but he is one of the NHL's top scorers and isn't going anywhere. It's more likely left winger Jiri Tlusty, right winger Tuomo Ruttu and defenceman Ron Hainsey will be moved before the March deadline … Confirm or deny: The day before acquiring right wing Kevin Westgarth from the Hurricanes, Burke ripped the Flames for not being tough enough to play against? … The Avs will have a decision to make on centre Paul Statsny before the deadline in March. Colorado GM Joe Sakic wants to keep Statsny but if the Avalanche get a No. 1 pick and a player thrown at them at the deadline then don't be surprised if the Avs move him. He is the youngest UFA centre available on the market this summer which means he could have plenty of suitors.
Have a nice Sunday and Happy New Year.

Blue Water's Lightning Pro 9.7mm Climbing Rope slithers up sport crags and multi-pitches with equal delicacy. Not only does this rope feel lighter in your pack—compared to thicker ropes and some with the same diameter—it also packs easier thanks to the sheath's subtle nature. The Lightning Pro boasts a high number of UIAA falls for extended durability, which makes it outshine other ropes in the same size.

pretty sweet all arounder
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had the dry bi pattern 9.7mm 70m. Climbed on for about 2 years, 2 weekends a month. It was a great all around rope for the approx 60% trad and 40% sport mix that I do, with the occasional top rope. It's a bit heavy for multi-pitch, but bearable, and that is the trade off for having a good all around rope. In the end the sheath started to fray at a few spots and got cut pretty badly. Core seems to have lasted fine. A bit disappointed in the sheath wear, but all in all seems to be reasonable for how much climbing I've done on it. Other than the sheath cut it seems to have plenty of life left, so I've turned it into 2 30m gym ropes. pic is from when it was brand new
Not bad
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned two of these ropes, one dry-coated and one non-dry. I climb hard single pitch routes at my limit, so take a lot of falls. The rope has held up well over two seasons but my friends and I often prefer using other ropes because this one feeds through belay devices so quickly. Both ropes I've owned feel a bit harder as if they have a plastic coating on the outside. Even after breaking them in and washing them repeatedly, this feeling remains and the rope doesn't have a satisfying feel to it. It has a harder, slicker feel than many other ropes I've used - most namely most Beals and the Sterling Evolution Velocity. That rope feels significantly more supple and handles so much better while belaying either lead or TR.
This is by no means a bad rope, however. It has a soft catch while not allowing the leader to fall dangerously far (I've climbed with a Petzl Volta 9.4 that stretched far too much, risking decking on outcrops or ledges below). The sheath has also held up very well over the 15+ days I've had it out and I am tough on ropes. I usually lower instead of rappelling (I know, I know, so sue me...) and I often climb at or above my limit often so I take a lot of falls.
Overall it's not a bad rope, but I will not buy one again. I'll most likely go with the Sterling Evo Velocity or a Beal.
FYI oddly enough, the dry-coated version of this rope actually handled better than the non-dry. Not sure why that is, but the non-dry coated rope actually feels more like it has a hard coating on the outside and feeds much faster through ATC's and GriGri's.
Thanks for the detailed review Will!
Best rope I've ever used
I have used this rope very many times now and I can definitely say this is my favorite one by far. This rope is great for any type of climbing. I have used it on trad routes and short sport climbs and it has done its job perfectly. I have only taken one good fall on it and it held up very well. It also is very resin
Love it!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This rope has been awesome. I have been doing a lot more lead climbing and I have loved it. Easy & not too heavy to get through the quick-draws, simple to set up for top-roping and BRIGHT & easy to see! I've gotten so many compliments on the neon pink rope, people always ask where I got it. I've used it a lot in Southern Utah in the red rocks and some in Rock Canyon up north in the Utah Valley area.
Great mid-thickness rope for general use
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is the first rope I've ever purchased, so I suppose my opinion may hold less weight than others, but regardless: This rope is great! Just used it on a week long trip in Kentucky doing mostly sport and I came away very happy with the rope's performance. It never got kinky or twisty when running through a belay device which was very nice. Also, the rope wasn't super stiff to begin with and feeds very easily through an atc. There was an initial shininess to the rope (I have the dry version) but that went away rather quickly. I haven't noticed any fraying or fuzziness, the former of which I would expect but the surface of the rope feels essentially new which is very nice as it was used quite extensively for the 5-6 days it was climbed on. It took some large lead falls and caught very softly, probably because of the low kN fall rating. I would think this aspect would be nice for trad too, but I can't comment on that. Additionally, the weight is pretty nice. You don't sacrifice any noticeable durability going a few tenths of a milimeter down, but on long pitches I didn't notice a significant amount of weight behind me which was always a plus. Also, even after big lead falls, the knots tied in the rope were still pretty easy to work out. Overall, a really great rope at a nice price on sale! Assuming it retains its durability I would have no issue purchasing another when this one craps out.
Top rope soloing
I would actually go with a static line if you've got it for this application. Don't try this at home.
Top rope soloing at a secret ice crag in CT, of all places. Mar 2015.
Skinny yet beefy
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Maybe it's hard to call a 9.7mm rope skinny, but this one is plenty thin and light for my purposes, yet with enough beef to provide some staying power. The bright green color is easy to spot and looks great in pictures, as well. I have a 70m, which is usually more rope that I need, but I decided to carry a 70m rather than something shorter + a tag line. No complaints on that setup so far.
An Amazing rope
This rope is great! the color is brilliant. It handles extremely well. I've taken fall after fall on this rope without a worry. Its followed me to Zions, Redrock, and little cottonwood. I would highly recommend this rope. Blue water ropes rock.
Awesome picture Nick!!!
I selected this image to feature on the Community Hub at the bottom of the Backcountry homepage! Congrats on being amazingly GOATWORTHY !!
Sweet! Thank you Sierra!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great catch and awesome visibility. I love the length (70m), and the rope diameter is a great fit for a intermediate climber like myself.
No problems and no complaints!

Although I've only climbed with it for a week, I am psyched on Blue Water's Lightning Pro Double Dry 9.7mm Climbing Rope. I've never enjoyed a rope right out of the box this much. It feels more fluid than my recently retired rope, after a few seasons of flailed attempts and whippers up the wazoo.
So far, I've climbed with this rope on multipitches like Arm and Hammer, or shorter pitches like this photo of me on Ferguson's Fuego. It's superlight and super compact in backpacks, so feel free to stow a few more sending sodas from now on.
The rope's stretch seems to offer the perfect balance between giving a soft catch on lead, and not stretching down past the crux you just climbed. And the color! You can see this thing from space. At least, my buddies could see it when they were looking for me from the road.
never regretted it
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The lightning pro is my favorite rope I've ever used. Super soft catches. It has just the perfect dynamic stretch. 70m takes you anywhere. my rope has been through a lot with me over the last 4 years and I plan on replacing it with another lightning pro 70m soon. anywhere from TR to Sport to Trad to ascending and rappelling, mine has done it all fabulously. blue water knows how to do ropes and webbing great. i Also have a blue water static rope for caving and canyoneering and use their webbing for slack lining. never regretted it.
Light, easy to clip, easy to manage
I'm a big fan of the Blue Water Lighting 9.7mm. It's been super easy to clip and manage and doesn't get TOO heavy on long pitches. I've only taken one good fall on it, but it stretched nicely for a soft catch.
It does run quickly through the belay device, but that's normal for a thinner rope.
I love it.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Disclaimer: I have used the rope extensively for 2 weeks, but I do not have any knowledge of the longterm durability of this product, only its "in the moment" action.
The rope is great. Totally perfect. Super soft catch. Anyone who says the catch isn't soft is insane. The rope is very light. My friend said it was lighter than his dirty 60 meter 10.2. Diameter is awesome. It works great for rappelling, belaying a second with an autoblock device, regular belay, extra friction belay, whatever . I would never ever consider getting a rope above 9.8 unless I was planning on top roping a lot. Love it! There's no middle mark, but still deserves 5 stars.
Lightning in the Creek
This rope handles beautifully and it's tough as nails. We took it down to the creek and gave it a pretty good beating and the sheath still looks and feels like new. Go for the 70m.

best all around
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used my blue water lightning pro in every condition on so many types of rock, and i must say that it is a solid rope that can take abuse and hold up without any doubts. The stretch is great and tends to lean towards a soft catch. I used a lightning pro when I was learning how to lead, and I have continued to use a lightning pro while testing my abilities on more difficult sport/big wall/trad climbs as well. I have friends that own the exact same rope with the same opinions.
A really good all around rope that is durable and lasts.
Great rope for all kinds of climbs
Not impresed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I took a gamble when I got this rope. I'd never used a blue water rope but the reviews were favorable, I like trying new brands, and heck it was on sale. So far I've put it through two months hard use (climbing 3-5 days per week) including a week in the Red and have been disappointed.
Pros: Feeds VERY well and doesn't get super kinky. It's pretty. Seems to shed dirt well.
Con: Has worn super fast (I need to chop it already) To comare my Sterling 9.2 is holding up better and has been through worse. At .5mm larger I'd expect more durability.
Con: As a result of the wearing out it has gone floppy when clipping. I have used PMI and Sterling ropes nether of which have ever done this to me.
Con: Stiff catch, maybe I got a bad batch of rope b/c everyone below says it catches softly. My climbing partner who has used my other ropes as well agrees this thing is jarring in comparrison.
How much did you get it for on sale?
Soft catch
I have been very impressed with this rope. I would suggest this rope for intermediate to advanced sport climbers. It is rather small for top roping but performs very well on lead. The catch is wonderfully soft. Even on top rope if you slip it'll stretch 3-5 ft. Quality construction with very durable materials. Turns your hands black even before you start getting it dirty.
Agree - have had this rope for a few seasons. Durable, feeds well, but seems to get dirty immediately; maybe something with the coating? one use after washing already back to black.
Blue water is awesome!
This is a sick rope with an insanely soft catch! I do mostly limestone sport climbing and it is perfect for sending! Ive had it for a few months now and the only reason i didnt give it five stars is because the sheath has gotten pretty fuzzy quickly but probably mostly due to the rock and rope drag at my local crags. One of my favorite parts about this rope is that it is super light weight but i still love the 9.7 feel. Its not stiff at all and is so smooth through my guide. I would recommend this rope for sure!
Does this rope have a middle marker?
Will there be some kind of tag or indication...
Will there be some kind of tag or indication to tell whether the rope is dry or standard? As im concerned if i bought a pricer dry rope on line and got the standard instead, it would cost too much to send it back via international post.
There won't be a tag on the rope most likely (although some have that information on the sticker at each end of the rope). What you can do is just hold it under a faucet. Any dry-treated rope will repel the water and not absorb it, just like a rain jacket, and a rope that's not treated will soak it up very quickly. I doubt that the company you bought it from would make you pay return shipping if they sent you the wrong product.

I was watching TV the other night, just flipping channels, when I came upon a really old "Happy Days" episode I hadn't seen in years. It must have been one of the first ones they made because Richie's older brother, the one obsessed with basketball, was in it. I think he went away to college after the first season, never to be heard from again.
Anyway, the basic plot was that Mr. C. wanted to spend a quiet, peaceful Christmas Eve at home with just his family and no one else. They were going to trim the Christmas tree, pop popcorn, roast marshmallows in the living room fireplace and sing a few Christmas carols. Just a simple old-fashioned Christmas celebration.
Before the festivities began, Mr. C. and Richie had to go somewhere, and the family car broke down. Naturally, they asked Fonzie to fix it, which he did. Fonzie told them he was going to take a bus to Waukesha to spend Christmas with his cousin and his family. They have a 9-foot Christmas tree, he told them, with an unbelievable spread of food and a ton of presents.
Of course, you knew he was just making it all up to cover up the fact that he was going to be alone for Christmas. To avoid blowing his cool cover, he didn't want anyone to know and feel sorry for him. The question was how long it would take the Cunninghams to figure it out.
It was one of those shows you knew as soon as it started what was going to happen.
In the end, the Cunninghams, under the guise of needing electrical work done on a Santa figure in their front yard and on the lights of their Christmas tree, managed to trick Fonzie into "canceling" his family plans and spending the night with them. The show ended with Fonzie reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
By today's standards, the show was very unsophisticated, even simplistic. There were no hand-held cameras switching from one character to another with near-nauseating speed. None of the actors, who had obviously never heard of method acting, ever sat on the sofa and talked directly into the camera about their problems. Then there was the dialogue, which was so unrealistic it was downright corny in places.
I couldn't help feeling sorry for any young kids who may also have been watching it. I'm sure they were confused. There were no double entendres or adult subject matter disguised as acceptable prime time entertainment. There was no vulgar language or disgusting body noises. Not once did Richie or Fonzie or Mr. C. speak to, or even make a reference to, any of their private parts, much less crack a joke about them. There were no put-down jokes or cracks making fun of anyone else in the show.
The characters in the show were actually nice and thoughtful and not trying to get anything over on the others.
And then there were these rather long gaps between commercial breaks, which were a little confusing. No sooner were you reaching for your remote to change the channel during a commercial than the show was back on again.
There was so much show, in fact, you almost got tired of watching it all.
No, they don't make TV shows like that anymore.
And isn't it a shame that they don't?
They don't make TV like they used to

Metabolic cooking is yet another foray into the world of weight loss and fat burning. But with so many similar programs and books out there, does metabolic cooking offer anything unique to justify it's purchase? Other metabolic cooking reviews have been quick to praise the book for it's refreshing approach to recipe and meal creation, but to say it's revolutionary is a bit of a stretch.
That's not to say that the program isn't any good, because it is. Personally, I enjoyed cooking with the book and found a number of recipes I hadn't tried before to be fun and enjoyable. The program should also be commended for it's breadth of categories. Dinner, smoothies, snacks, vegetarian – it covers them all and in great detail, too.
Overall, I found the value of the cookbook and recipes to be excellent. Compared to standard cookbooks, you dodge the premium applied by bookshops, plus you get the added benefit of being able to just prop-up your iPad in the kitchen and read as you go. What really sold me on the book though was the bonus material.
I've visited the supermarket with my Metabolic Cooking 'cheat-sheet' in-hand more times than I can count. It's a brilliant time-saver and really takes the fuss out of shopping and preparing healthy meals. In fact, I was able to cut down my food prep time by around ~20 minutes!
The whole program is family-friendly, so if you're looking for something to take the stress away from meal-times, give Metabolic Cooking a go, you won't regret it.

Summer Fest Comes To Pensacola Beach
Saturday morning at 8am the line began to form as people stood patiently to be admitted to the 1st Annual Summer Fest held on Pensacola Beach.
Artists such as Jeff Floyd, Big Rob, One Accord Show Band, Mint Condition, Keith Sweat and Fantasia lined the venue to entertain the multitude of approximately 3,000 attendees.
Although there was a period of rain, that did not deter the crowd from enduring the downpour to enjoy a day of fun and good times on the beach. "The rain felt really good. I got soaked but was dry in 10 minutes", said one concert goer.
SonShine of radio Magic 106 was there emceeing the event and adding her special touches
as she introduced the artists and greeted everyone from the stage. "Hello Pensacola! She screamed. Are you ready to party? We are here to enjoy the first Summer Fest at Beach Pensacola Beach," she continued." After a brief list of 'do's and don'ts' the show began.
Temperatures reached the high 90's and no one seemed to mind as umbrellas of various sizes and colors decorated the area.
First to take the stage was Jeff Floyd singing most of his latest tunes including 'Lock My Door'. Everyone was in the mood to party. And a party it was.
Big Rob and One Accord Show Band kept the crowd on their feet. Big Rob added laughter as well as demonstrating his showmanship to the onlookers.
One Accord Show Band, homegrown, played and sang to Old Schoolers and well as the younger set. No one was left out.
As each artist gave their all, dark approached and the people danced, clapped their hands and swayed to the beats.
Mint Condition played their new releases as well as their oldies and Keith Sweat brought the 'Sweat Hotel' with him. Singing to the ladies, Keith had everyone either standing, dancing or smiling as he crooned his way through the show. At one point he exclaimed "6 minutes?" That's how much time they say I have left." But that did not stop the artist from completing his last song to the audience.
By now, the evening was wearing on and the audience was on their feet as they greeted the final and high energy act of Fantasia. Wearing a solid white cat suit, showing off her lean and toned figure, this young lady danced and sang her heart out. "I want all of you to come up here close so I can talk to you," she said. From that point on it was on. Moving across the stage in a Tina Turner fashion and singing style all of her own, Fantasia had everyone on their feet dancing and singing to her melodies.
As she sang her last song, only one thing could be said: "Fantasia was Fantastic!"
Summer Fest 2 see you next year.

After much goings on it has been revealed today:"The Hobbit" is to be a 2 part movie with Peter Jackson working with both New Line and MGMhttp://www.thehobbitblog.com/http://www.theonering.net/And remember, The Professor's birthday is in a bit over 2 weeks, so it'll be time for a favourite beverage and The Toast.
One puzzling thing:* MGM and New Line will co-finance and co-distribute two films, "The Hobbit" and a sequel to "The Hobbit."Hmm, a sequel to The Hobbit. Could it be. . . could it be . . . The Lord of the Rings?
It had been my understanding that Jackson wanted to do a prequel to LOTR glossing the Quenta Silmarillion and the founding of Numenor focusing on the fall of Numenor and the founding of the Kingdoms in Exile and the War of the Last Alliance.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend has asked an appeals court to disqualify the Oscar winner's attorneys handling a bitter custody dispute because she consulted with one of their partners in a paternity dispute with another actor.
Attorneys for Oksana Grigorieva asked the California 2nd District Court of Appeal to intervene in the case on Monday. They sought to either disqualify Gibson's attorneys or require a judge hearing the case to review records of the Russian musician's dealings with the firm.
Grigorieva met with a partner in the firm of Kolodny and Anteau in 2008 at Gibson's suggestion, while she was dealing with custody issues involving her son with British actor Timothy Dalton, according to court filings.
The appeal said Gibson's attorneys sought records of the dispute with Dalton, including emails, text messages and other correspondence between the former couple. Dalton played James Bond in two films in the late 1980s.
Stephen Kolodny, one of the Gibson's attorneys handling his dispute with Grigorieva over their infant daughter, said in an email that he would not comment on Grigorieva's appeal.
His partner, Ronald Anteau, has not appeared in the case, but Grigorieva's filing named her discussion with him as important to her current fight with Gibson.
"The matters discussed with Mr. Anteau concerned the same subject matter that has been inquired into in the present case by Stephen Kolodny both in open court and at deposition," her filing said.
Grigorieva asked the court to issue a ruling before a key hearing this month.
Last month, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon ruled that Grigorieva waited too long to raise the issue of a potential conflict with Kolodny's representation of Gibson. She claimed she did not make the connection between her consultation with Anteau and Gibson's attorneys until recently.
Grigorieva wants the appellate court to require the judge to review Anteau's notes of his meeting with her and reconsider the ruling or disqualify Kolodny and Anteau's firm outright.
Gibson and Grigorieva's custody case is by law confidential, as would be any case she had involving Dalton. Her efforts to disqualify Gibson's attorneys have been heard in open court.
The case has spanned 65 hearings and the judge had issued more than 100 rulings.
There were thousands of pages of pleadings in the case, and most of Gibson's filings were handled by Kolodny's firm, Gordon said.
Grigorieva's attorney Daniel Horowitz has said his client is dropping domestic violence allegations from the case and probably won't introduce racist and sexist rants made by the "Braveheart" star that were posted by the celebrity website RadarOnline.com.
That announcement nearly two months was made after Gibson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor domestic violence in a case involving a January 2010 fight. The actor was sentenced to serve 16 hours of community service, which he has performed in recent days with Mending Kids International in Guatemala.
