So when forward Marvell Waithe was asked about Arkansas' less-than-impressive performance during a 62-55 win against Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday afternoon, the senior was first to admit the struggles. Then he considered the alternative.
"I thought it was a very ugly win. Extremely," Waithe said. "But an ugly win is better than any kind of loss. So I'll take it."
Arkansas (6-3) turned in a less-than-impressive performance in front of an announced crowd of 8,500 in Bud Walton Arena on Saturday, but did end its two-game losing streak and improved to 6-0 in Fayetteville. Freshman Ky Madden led the Hogs with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Arkansas scored 24 points off 20 turnovers, and the Hogs held on without making a field goal in the final 4:30.
It wasn't the type of performance that proved Arkansas had regained confidence on offense after its road frustrations by any means. The point total equaled the Razorbacks' lowest scoring effort of the season. But coach Mike Anderson said he was proud of his team for "gutting it out" to beat the Lions.
"A raggedy ride is better than a smooth walk," Anderson said. "So we'll take that win."
Anderson altered his starting lineup for the first time in five games Saturday, starting freshman BJ Young in place of Rickey Scott. Arkansas was in control early, building a six-point lead against a SELA team missing leading scorer Brandon Fortenberry for the second straight game because of an injury.
But the Razorbacks quickly fell into a drought, going more than four minutes without a field goal and soon trailed 28-23 with 4:16 remaining in the half.
"It was a lack of focus," Waithe said. "We're a young team, but we're better than what we showed."
The Razorbacks rallied behind a group that included Madden, Waithe and Rickey Scott, leaning on its defense to tear off a 12-0 run. Arkansas forced turnovers on four of five possessions during one stretch, turned the mistakes into easy buckets and managed to hold a 35-30 lead at halftime.
"They were scoring layups," SELA coach Jim Yarbrough said. "That's what they do well. That kind of greases the engine when they get those turnovers."
Said Anderson: "I thought they were blue collar and they moved the basketball, they touched balls, they shared the ball. That's why the field goal percentage went up during that time. Our defense was active."
Arkansas carried the momentum into the second half, building a 10-point led on three separate occasions. The final double-digit advantage came at the 4:30 mark, when Madden knocked down a jump shot that gave the Razorbacks a 60-50 lead it wouldn't relinquish.
But Arkansas didn't exactly cruise, failing to make a field goal the rest of the game. The Razorbacks also were erratic from the free-throw line, allowing SELA to remain within striking distance late.
SELA guard DeShawn Patterson made a 3-pointer to cut Arkansas' lead to 60-55 with 33 seconds remaining. But guard Julysses Nobles made two free throws on the other end to wrap up the win for the Razorbacks.
"It was a hard game," said Madden, who was the only Razorback to score in double figures and also accounted for half of the team's assist total (14). "We knew we had to come out and battle to the end. We had to work hard. It was a game that whoever wanted it the most, they had to go out there and get it."
Scott, Mardracus Wade and Devonta Abron added eight points apiece for the Razorbacks, who shot 46.9 percent (23 of 49) from the field and 47.8 percent (11 of 23) from the free-throw line.
Young, who scored in double figures in seven straight games en route to the starting lineup, was limited to six points on 3 of 5 shooting.
"I thought he was tentative," Anderson said. That's a freshman for you. It's the lights, camera, action."
Arkansas, despite the ugly performance, did start its seven-game homestand with a win. It started a stretch in which the Razorbacks play three games in six days, continuing with Eastern Kentucky (Tuesday night) and Louisiana Tech (Thursday).
"I'm hoping that's going to be a big help because you can't get experience like games," Anderson said. "You can practice, and practice, but guys being in that game situation I think can really help your basketball team improve."

♦ What is the Category Patrolling Project?
Basically, it is a venture wherein SPEWers scout the archives for fanfiction that needs quality reviews and post them to a thread, so that others who are searching for fics to review can easily find them when they need it. I've found that finding a fic to review, especially close to the deadline, is like half the job done. SPEW Category Patrolling helps us with that.
♦ How will this work?
Every month, there will be a thread posted with the name of the category that we're featuring for the month. There will be no more claims for categories; anyone who wants to use category patrolling as a replacement for a particular month can post in that thread. At the end of the month, I will post all the entries which were posted during the month to the database of stories(this thread). This way, all the stories of a category will be in one post in the database, and anyone who is looking for fics to review can look at the respective post in this thread.
You do not have to review the stories you chose. You do not even have to read them. All you need to do in category patrolling is to find them and post details about them.
♦What kind of stories can I post to the Category Patrolling thread?
Stories which you think are in need of quality reviews. It's not exactly based on the number of reviews(unless we're looking at hundreds of one-liners), because even a story with a few one-line reviews can use a good in-depth review.
All genres, ratings and length are permissible. In case of WIP fiction, however, please post the date it was last updated on. (This is what you see when you choose the story, of course; I don't mean you have to keep editing your post whenever there's a new update.)
♦ What are the details I need to post with, if I choose category patrolling as a replacement?
There might be slight changes depending on the month(for instance, if the category is Other Pairing, the pairing featured might have to be included), but this is the basic template.PHP Code:
Name of the Story(with link):
Word Count:
Warnings(if any):
Number of chapters(if chaptered. If it is a one-shot, this can be skipped):
Last updated on(applicable only to WIPs):
♦Is there a minimum number of stories I need to post, to meet requirements?
I think a minimum of five stories for now seems reasonable. There will be no maximum limit. More the merrier, as the saying goes.
If you have any other questions/doubts/clarifications regarding Category Patrolling, please send me a message or post in the babble thread. I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.

Matt Devlin has to go! I haven't gotten over Chuck leaving.
Matt Devlin has to go! I haven't gotten over Chuck leaving.
Anyone watching the Pacers/Miami game? I bet they wouldn't mind to have been able to play a guy like Granger in a game like tonight. My point being unless you got a super-star who can lift a team through anything with his scoring it's nice to have more guys on your roster who can provide points when your "star" guy is having a rough night.
Rudy + Demar = Durant but Rudy by himself = not Durant.
Lowry isn't going to be elite unless he's surrounded by other elite players, JV is probably an 18 and 11 guy when he reaches his full potential. That being said if we are to trade DD it can't be for a 13ppg and 8 rbpg version of Pau Gasol it would not drastically improve our roster. By the time JV reaches max potential already Pau is on his way out of the league.
We won't land Parker, Paul or Rondo unless we're already a championship team. We can try but if do what's next? We'll have traded all our good players to get any of those guys.
So unless we have one of the best scorers in the league on our team we should assemble a team that can all pull their own. Some nights Rudy's got it, some nights it's Demar and some nights Lowry and some nights JV has it (when he improves) but we can't act like any of those guys can win games for Toronto all on their own.
I mean, they can attempt to improve the starting roster but fact of the matter is our bench is still going to be fucking garbage. Depth is what the team needs. Not a star studded front line-up.
God, I hope I wasn't just rambling through all of that, it's hard to judge your entire post when you have to scroll up and down to read it all lol
I'm gonna get some flak for that "Rudy + Demar = Durant" comment. You get what i'm saying though, those two combined = the talent of one super star. Divided they don't.
Not sure if anyone here has mentioned this. But i wonder if the new GM will bring Casey back? or will get his own coach??
better get his own coach
plus demar and rudy still cant shoot threes like durant when combined lol
lieweke talked a bit about finding who we are as a team and casey failed to do that this year
If Derozan can't shoot three's next season then then fuck him but he has vowed to improve on that this off season.
This team is an athletic team, but the offence was soooo slow this season, you gotta work with what you got and that's not the type of game players like Lowry, DD, Gay, JV and Ross play. Those guys can run and fly high.
Tidy up the bench, see what this team can do playing faster paced offence. Combined with better overall three-point shooting as a team.
If it doesn't work, trade guys and call me an idiot.
Everyone except JV, Amir and Ross should go.
Amesty Bargs, trade DD for hopefully a mid 1st rounder (I think that is do-able), take back a horrible contract for Rudy Gay (Ben Gordon anyone?), trade Lowry for another mid 1st rounder (12th? lol).
Fields is un-tradeable.
Start JV, Amir, Fields, Gordon and Lucas. Tank for 2014.
Boom. Done!
"Stay steamy"
- Kobe
I put everyone but Ross and JV. Although I regret putting Acy now because I don't think anyone wants him. He makes so little that he probably won't even be included as a throw-in. But I think given TL's statement, every player is fair game.
your pal,
Who will go is very different than who should go. I think the team will struggle to make moves because the pieces they should move are going to be very difficult to move.
I think they will ultimately move Amir (high value now after really good year), Lowry (contract year and talented player), DD (only because they can't trade Gay or Fields and they need to move some wingers) and Bargnani (for peanuts). They will keep JV and T-Ross to build around and hope and pray that Gay can live up to his contract (well he can't but if he can even make it close) and that Fields can provide anything other than average defence.
Heir, Prince of Cambridge
If they plan on keeping Gay as a centerpiece alongside T Ross and JV which Im fine with you gotta keep Lowry around even if he becomes bench PG behind someone else. Lowry is a reasonable dude he will most likely resign for a decent rate hes playing with his buddies.
Jonas is the one name that says "Core piece to a championship team".
So, based on the timeline of reaching the playoffs in the next 2-3 years ... then contending in 3-5 years ... I put a few others from our current roster on the list with him.
T-Ross - has shown elite shooting ability, freak athleticism, and has a chance to be a special defender.
Amir - whether he brings his game up to become an unquestioned starter, he would at least be a gem as a bench big for many years. Hustle, energy, toughness, and a soft touch.
Landry Fields (yes, THAT Landry) - with a presumption of his shooting touch returning after nerve surgery in the elbow, Landry already has other qualities that make him valuable: lockdown defence, high basketball IQ, great at making hard cuts to the rim without the ball.
The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
I completely agree with Dino4life, we need to see what we have before we start giving away assets for picks and spare parts. This current core (JV, Amir, DD, Gay, Lowry, Ross and Fields) need a season to display what they have. If someone comes in and shakes things up I would be disappointed that I never got to see what this core brings to the table. I would also keep Bargs until the trade deadline, see if he fits in anywhere. The problem is that we haven't seen this core at its best yet, and I feel because of our impatient fan bace we never will. And that really sucks!
I know some people will hammer me for the Bargs comment.
I also agree with Mr.Z
I am indifferent when it comes to the bench, would like to see AA kept otherwise the other pieces can be shipped. Min contracts and mle spent on (Vets and a couple euros) backup pg and pf.

The longer this dispute goes on and likely new GM I see Terrence Ross getting his chance very soon, probably in a season or so.
T-Ross has to learn some Post moves though there are plenty of 2 guards not nearly as long or tall as he is, though Ross is very skinny not sure if it will be as effective as when DeMar operates a Post play.
As for the topic of this thread... Leiweke has clearly said he does not think this roster, as-is, is one piece away so people asking to see this through are either naive or delusional; maybe both. DD+AB for Gasol, then amnesty Kleiza may look rational, as it would free up a lot of cap space after this season... but it is not enough according to boss, and that's fine with me.
Personally, I would be OK blowing this thing apart completely, keeping only JV and assembling as many draft picks as possible for the upcoming 2014 draft; perhaps, even further down the road. My only hope would be to see a competent team of GM, coach, scouts lay out a plan for the next 4-5 years and sticking with it!

Yanks put Boesch through wringer in drills at first
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
CLEVELAND -- Brennan Boesch said the last time he played first base was in high school, but he has been taking a crash course at the position this week under the instruction of infield coach Mick Kelleher.
Having played only outfield in his professional career, Boesch slumped in his locker chair and said that he could "barely walk" after Kelleher's latest intensive session on Tuesday at Progressive Field, which consisted of peppering the 27-year-old with dozens of hot shots down the line.
"It's been a while; just trying to knock the rust off," Boesch said. "The coaching staff is helping me get comfortable there in case I'm needed in a situation. It's getting better every day, but you guys are used to [Mark] Teixeira out there.
"I've got him at least to help me out in the meantime. It's fun. It's a new challenge -- as if in baseball you need a new challenge, but here you go. It's another one for me."
Manager Joe Girardi said that the Yankees are trying to increase Boesch's versatility, but they are not looking to replace Lyle Overbay against right-handed pitching. Girardi also said that in the event of an injury, he'd be more likely to use Kevin Youkilis or Jayson Nix at first base right now.
"I'm not saying that I plan on throwing [Boesch] out there anytime soon, but I think the more flexibility you get as we watch him progress and take a lot more grounders, it might work," Girardi said.
Girardi said that Kelleher had to start with the basic fundamentals for Boesch, who has borrowed one of Overbay's spare gloves for the assignment.
"The footwork is pretty precise," Boesch said. "[Some people] think if you just throw a big guy over there, he's going to block the ball, but there's a lot more precision. You watch Tex take ground balls over there, the footwork is very precise where he's setting up to get the hop every time. That's why he's the Gold Glover that he is."
Boesch said that Teixeira has been "like the most positive guy ever" in discussing the position with him. Teixeira said that the main point he wanted to stress to Boesch was to not put too much pressure on himself and try to have fun with it.
"He's got a lot of talent," Teixeira said. "He's got a lot of natural ability that I think will progress into being a good first baseman. Being a natural left-hander, it's good. You have a guy who has nice long arms who, if he has to throw the ball to second base, he's got that left-handed throw. That makes it easier."
Jeter starts running, but return date uncertain
CLEVELAND -- Yankees captain Derek Jeter has advanced to running on the field and continues to progress as he works out in Tampa, Fla., but it is still too early for the club to offer a timetable for his expected return to big league action.
Manager Joe Girardi said that Jeter also took ground balls at shortstop and hit in a batting cage at the club's Minor League complex. Jeter told head athletic trainer Steve Donohue that his surgically repaired left ankle is feeling better, and the Yankees plan to continue increasing his activity.
"He did some sprints," Girardi said. "It's not 100 percent, but he was able to do them, and to me that's a big step. I'm really curious to see how he's going to feel tomorrow."
Jeter has not played in a game since March 23, when he had four at-bats as a designated hitter in a Minor League contest and then felt soreness in his ankle. Girardi said that the Yankees shot video of Jeter running on Tuesday, which the manager viewed in Cleveland.
"I am happy to see that he's on the field. That's pleasing to all of us," Girardi said. "You can see him running. It's not 100 percent. You don't know how he's going to react tomorrow.
"I don't really want to put a timetable on it because I don't know how he's going to feel tomorrow after what he did. Before he'd been running on a treadmill in the water. It's really hard to say."
Girardi said that the Yankees will eventually want to see Jeter play four out of five games at the Minor League level, and though Jeter does not necessarily have to play shortstop for nine innings in back-to-back games, Girardi said Jeter would have to at least play seven or eight innings.
"Two innings, to me, is not really going to make a big difference," Girardi said. "It's the back-to-back-to-back; how he responds the next day is my concern. I think we'll be able to tell by the way he's moving. He's not going to be able to hide it, I don't think."
Bombers bits
• The Yankees have re-signed left-hander Clay Rapada to a Minor League contract, and he will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Rapada was removed from the Yankees' 40-man roster last week and was expected to begin the season on the disabled list after dealing with left shoulder bursitis during Spring Training.
• Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson (fractured right forearm) has been cleared to swing a bat underwater and could progress to hitting soft-toss and off of a tee by the weekend, according to Girardi.
• Tuesday marked Yankees right-hander David Robertson's 28th birthday.
• On this date in 1996, Andy Pettitte logged the victory as the Yankees defeated the Royals, 7-3, as snow fell for the home opener at the original Yankee Stadium. The first-pitch temperature was 38 degrees and both Joe Girardi and Tino Martinez were booed during pregame introductions, replacing former popular Yankees Mike Stanley and Don Mattingly, respectively.

Second Stage of Grieving: Anger
Well, the rumors are swirling now about whether Josh was intoxicated when he had his fatal crash. The team is angry and not wanting to answer questions. I don't blame them. I believe he is innocent until proven otherwise, but things are not looking good.
The Post-Dispatch today reported that Josh had another car accident in Sauget Thursday at 5:30am, but the police did not think he had been drinking. He then was late to Thursday's game. The Post also quotes a couple in Shannon's who supposedly overheard Josh tell ESPN reporter Dave Campbell that he was late because he was hungover and that Tony fined him for showing up late and being hungover. Tony does not comment on this and says he wants to talk about baseball. Dave Campbell denies that Josh made those comments. Pat Shannon says she offered to call Josh a taxi on Saturday night but he told her he was only going to walk to a hotel a few blocks away. Yes, evidence is mounting, but there's still a lot of "he said, she said".
Bernie Miklasz reports that Tony warned the players the media will try to exploit this tragedy, and it's beginning to look that way. Obviously, the truth will come out and we can deal with it then, and I don't want to add fuel to the fire but I thought it important to mention these developments.
KMOX has a very dim and distant security camera view of the actual accident. I won't post that link because I think that is really going too far, and you can't see anything anyway.
Here's hoping the Cards are less fuzzy tonight, although I totally understand if they aren't.

Brisbane Wetsuit Walk
With a possible high of 28 °C on Saturday 10th November, Brisbane Australia, you'd expect to find most people in the water, especially if they're wearing wetsuits. But the first Brisbane Wetsuit Walk will see hundreds of divers walk the city streets in their wetsuits to raise awareness for sharks. They're taking on the job of positive publicist for sharks everywhere.
"The Brisbane Wetsuit Walk promises to be a fun day, with families and all ages welcome. We hope it will be inspiring, to get people interested and aware of what is happening in our oceans in a fun environment which will see a lot the Brisbane dive community band together to promote sharks and act as their positive PR, giving sharks a much needed image make-over," said Miguel Garrido of Snorkel Safari.
"We're inviting people to join the walk and become a positive shark promoter by wearing a wetsuit, which can be unzipped (to keep cool) or even boardies, to create a visual sensation as the Brisbane Wetsuit Walk makes its way through the Brisbane CBD," added Miguel.
Organisers will use the walk as an opportunity to talk to the public about the important role sharks play in the ecosystem. The walkers plan to dispel some of the negative views and media hype towards sharks.
"Most divers get excited at the word 'shark' and diving with sharks is common practice in the dive community, as they are such amazing creatures to interact with. The general public, however, are conditioned to believe sharks are scary but anyone who has ever dived with them knows different," said Miguel.
Several Brisbane dive schools front the Brisbane Wetsuit Walk, including Snorkel Safari Brisbane, Dive World, Adreno, Brisbane Freedivers and the University of Queensland Dive Club.
All walkers will sign the Project AWARE Shark petition on registration. Interested in doing more for sharks? Sign the petition, do the AWARE Shark Conservation Course, check out our Shark Action Kit today.

California's highest court ordered an Arizona group on Sunday to disclose the donors behind an $11 million contribution to two California campaigns last month, but it remained to be seen whether voters will know the source of the money before Election Day.
Attorney General Kamala Harris and the state's campaign finance watchdog had been seeking the donation records to determine whether Americans for Responsible Leadership is improperly shielding its donors' identities.
The group gave money in October to a California-based political action committee that is campaigning against Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative and another initiative that would limit the ability of unions to raise money for political causes.
The group fought to withhold the documents and tried last week to appeal a Sacramento County Superior Court ruling that it must submit to an audit by the California Fair Political Practices Commission by 5 p.m. Thursday.
Harris' office filed a motion late Friday asking the California Supreme Court to take up the case immediately, arguing that the information the FPPC is seeking is only relevant before Tuesday's election. The court made its unanimous decision Sunday afternoon following a conference call and directed the Phoenix-based nonprofit to comply with the FPPC's audit request by 4 p.m.
However, the group asked for a deadline extension so it could seek a stay from the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, FPPC chairwoman Ann Ravel said. She said the court denied the request and ordered the group to produce the documents immediately.
She said she believes the group has exhausted all legal avenues.
"My staff will be working all night to look at the documents and determine if they come within California (campaign) disclosure laws," Ravel said.
A call seeking comments from the group's spokesman was not immediately returned.
Harris called the group's action "outrageous" and "a clear act of desperation."
"They're trying to delay and run the clock on this so that California voters will be in the dark about who has tried to manipulate their opinions," Harris said.
Federal law allows nonprofits to keep the identities of their donors confidential. But California regulations require donors to be identified if they give to nonprofits with the intention of spending money on state campaigns here.

Great looking pies John.Why do you write "(for my daughter)" after pepperoni? Is there something childish about liking pepperoni I should know about? I like pepperoni.
Serp, your pizzas are masterful. Great work!
Serpentelli, How open or closed do you have the venturi? I got mine a few weeks ago, but have been in a constant state of "out-of-town" since it arrived and haven't got to mess with it but once. Things appear to be coming along quite nicely for you so far.
john, those are beautiful pies. 100 hours at 56 degrees how different is the taste and texture from a shorter fermentation period? is the 100 hours in ball form?
Those pies are money, John.
John,Your pies look amazing baked in your 2Stone. Great job!Norma
thanks for the reply john. i'm going to try a cooling rack over a bowl today to see if i get your cheese cut.
What is Camaldoli?
John,I'm in possession of a 2Stone now and will give an NP dough another try. What is Camaldoli?
When you order from sourdo.com you get two cultures: Ischia and Camaldoli. I screwed the pooch on the Ischia and had to throw it away. I'm satisfied with the Camaldoli, so I just keep using it. But I'm going to move over to mmmph's Fear starter soon.John K
Hey if any of you feel like sharing some of mmmmphs, I'd love to try it. I'd be happy to send you some of mine.
Thanks for the offer of the Camaldoli. mmmph is very generous with Fear. I'm sure if you PM him he will get you some!John K

Man sent to hospital after shooting at party in Ypsilanti
Ypsilanti police were looking for a suspect in connection with a reckless discharge of a firearm at a party early Sunday that sent a man to the hospital for treatment of an injury.
The incident happened around 1:40 a.m. Sunday at a large party on the 600 block of Emmet Street. Police say the suspect fired a black semi-automatic handgun into the ground near the victim, who was injured when the bullet ricocheted and grazed his right ankle.
The victim, a 25 year-old Ypsilanti Township man, was taken to a local hospital for treatment and later released. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.
The suspect and victim were strangers to one another, police say.
The suspect is described as a black male in his early 20s, standing 5-foot-7 to 6 feet tall, with a light complexion and wearing a grey zip-up jacket.

We may have our shootings in Ypsi but A2 sure has a lot of home invasions.

Abe, Actually the blame on biased reporting belongs squarely and SOLELY on the shoulders of AA.com If you would join the next AAPD offering of their Citizens, Police, Fire and Courts Academy you would be disabused of that notion. Not to mention learn lots of other valuable info and have fun. Or simply subscribing to Nixle.com or CrimeMapping.com will easly show you the difference between what is report by AAPD and what is reported by AA.com

A2 actually has more crime than Ypsi. Per Capita too. But when you have biased media and a police dept who needs to be pried, at times to reveal info, you'd never guess it. There is more going on in A2 than a bunch of liberals, english gardens and a borderline communist local government.

Lets de-thug Ypsi already.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 : 7:40 p.m.
Too common a problem in Ypsilanti. Too many wannabe gangsters with a Glock in their sock and a chip on their shoulder. Parties are for dancing, meeting new people, and enjoy a fine evening. I'll stay away from the East side action and rest easy with people I know and trust.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 : 7:23 p.m.
You have to wonder if these were aspiring artists, trying to achieve true surrealism.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 : 5:49 p.m.
Another Ypsi shooting? Boy how shocking!!!
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 : 5:36 p.m.
Ain't no party like a Ypsi party.

Note to self: avoid large parties in Ypsilanti.
Sun, Nov 18, 2012 : 10:32 p.m.
I just told my husband that i'm never going to a party in Ypsi again! Everytime there's a party someone either gets shot or stabbed! People can't even have fun anymore because of some idiot with a weapon!

Another educated (or uneducated guess) = Ypsilanti Township in on the action again?

Can you READ? This event occurred in the City of Ypsilanti!

The Great White Icicle Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|First Ice Climb
Date Climbed: Dec 14, 1999
|First time climbing ice @ 50 years old. After 3 times, I decided I could lead a few pitches. From then on, I can lead the whole route.
|Posted Dec 14, 2010 11:23 pm
|A classic
|I climb this every winter just to get back into it for the year and to get ready for Ouray. A great beginner climb or for someone learning to lead.
|Posted Jul 10, 2010 7:18 pm
Date Climbed: Jan 21, 2010
|I've done this one a bunch of times--most recently January 21, 2010.
This was my very first ice climb, my first ice solo, and I do it once a year typically. I once soloed it in 49 minutes car to car, but that's a far cry from Alex Lowe's alleged 13 minute (or 18 minute?) time. Climbing it at night is particularly fun.
|Posted Jan 27, 2010 3:37 pm
|lots of times
Date Climbed: Nov 20, 2006
|This was the first time a ever climbed it and I go back every year. Love it. My favorite time to climb it is 1:00 am.
|Posted Nov 9, 2009 12:57 am

|Great White Icicle (II WI3)
Date Climbed: Jan 11, 2009
|Eric and I took a break from rock climbing in Red Rocks and drove up to Salt Lake to do some ice climbing. There were a ton of parties on the route when we arrived, but we were still able to get it done pretty quickly. We soloed the first 2 pitches, Eric led the third, and I led the crux fourth pitch. Overall, the route was pretty lean and the crux pitch was definitely harder than WI3...more like WI 4-.
|Posted Jan 11, 2009 9:05 pm
|Jet-lagged climbing
Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2008
|Climbed GWI with Gibran just right after landing from a trip from Europe (jet-lagged). 4th pitch was interesting to top out on frozen moss and running water just to my left. All in all, a fun & easy climb.
|Posted Jan 1, 2009 10:09 am
Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2006
|After being rebuffed by winter thaws over my previous winter breaks, I finally got to climb this thing. A great climb, and every pitch was quite unique.
|Posted Jan 5, 2007 6:40 pm
|Climbed many times roped and unroped. It is nice to have such a long and moderate route close to home; great climb. Thanks for the page, Joe.
|Posted Dec 3, 2006 11:49 pm
|Joseph Bullough
|Two ascents
|Climbed 2 times:
12/01/06 - Climbed with Brian on an overcast and snowy day. Soloed P1 and led P3, Brian on the other 2 leads.
12/10/05 - Also with Brian, good conditions on a somewhat cold December day. Led P2 and first half of P4. Several other parties on the route.

firewaterword wrote: »Gonna re-post an e-mail I wrote to a friend about a trip I took down there two years ago - maybe it'll help with some ideas for you! Mostly about the South Island.
I spent about a month traveling around NZ with an old college housemate. We spent about 4 days in Queenstown, and it was one of the most amazing places I've ever been. I'm not sure exactly what you'll be interested in doing, but there's no shortage of excitement!
Personally, I'd recommend getting out to the Shotover river, either via Jet Boat or raft. We ended up doing both – I enjoyed the jet boat, but felt it quite tame compared to the rafting. The Shotover is the site of many historic gold mining sites, and running the river on a raft is the best way to see everything. The NZ gov't put a stop to gold mining in the 70s, but there's still a great deal of it in the river – you'll actually see flakes floating around during the calmer parts! It is, however, home to some fairly serious rapids, but nothing too crazy.
As for the town itself, it is somewhat touristy (though nothing compared to American tourist spots!), but there are a lot of great local places if you look. I'd specifically recommend the Red Rock beer garden if the weather's warm. Also, be sure to take the gondola up to the mountain station for some of the most breathtaking views you'll ever see. Another great thing to do is rent bikes and spend a few hours riding around the lake. There is an easy bike trail that goes out from Queenstown around lake Wakatipu, taking you past some pretty amazing vacation houses. Depending on your level of comfort, I'd also recommend paragliding! I went off of one of the many amazing mountains (Mt. Coronet), and it's a fantastic way to see the area. We did not get a chance to visit Milford Sound, something I regret a lot! It takes at least two days to see the place properly, and we did not have the time.
From Queenstown, we rented a car and drove down to the west coast, following the route dad described in his last email. The drive itself is stunning! Where else in the world can you go from crystal-clear alpine lakes, passing through a rainforest, to a glacier in a five hour drive?! Franz Joseph is a small town almost entirely supported by tourism to the glacier, and I would definitely recommend at least walking up to the face. There are outfitters, who offer tours on the glacier itself, and I'm told it is a great experience (we chose not to, as the weather wasn't fantastic). From there, we chose to continue north, up the west coast, stopping again in a tiny town called Punakeiki. For many kiwis, the west coast is sort-of a last frontier. To put it in perspective, 3 quarters of NZ's population live in the North Island, and those who live in the South are almost entirely in and around Christchurch and Queenstown. Anyway, driving up the west coast was one of the best parts of our trip. It almost has a sort of "Lost World" vibe to it, and the people there are incredibly friendly.
From Punakeiki, we continued north to a town called Graymouth. I took another rafting trip on the Buller River, which I cannot recommend enough. Somewhat less wild than the Shotover, but the scenery is AMAZING. Finally, we drove to Nelson, which is the "big town" on the northern area of the South Island. Nelson is great – it's pretty much Napa set in New Zealand, complete with many great wineries. From Nelson, we traveled to Picton, which is where the Inter-islander Ferry departs. Regarding the crossing, the scenery leaving the south island is stunning. However, it can be a fairly rough trip, even in the best of weather. Having taken the trip (it's about 3-4 hours in good weather), I would recommend using one of the small airlines that flies between Nelson/Picton and Wellington, as it doesn't cost much more than a ferry ticket. I very much enjoyed the time I spent in Wellington (two nights), but definitely experienced a sort of culture shock, having spent the two weeks prior traveling through such sparsely populated areas.
Anyway, sorry for such a long winded email – it's a slow morning at work! I would be more than happy to help answer any questions you may think of. Long story short, you could spend a year in the south island and not see everything there is to offer, but know that no matter where you go or what you do, you're sure to have a great time. I don't think there's another country on earth as traveler-friendly as NZ!

I don't think Kumara are unique to New Zealand. The Americans just call them Sweet Potato. We may have different varieties though, not too sure.

It is so amazingly fun.
Don't feel bad, I've got a far better lifestyle here than I've had in any city in any country I've ever lived in. Wouldn't be here otherwise.

After giving birth to her little girl, Maxwell Drew, in May, Jessica Simpson signed a $4 million dollar deal with Weight Watchers to lose the baby weight. Now the singer is fighting off rumors that the company is bullying her to lose the pounds.
Simpson took to Twitter yesterday to dispel rumors that she's been feeling stressed and overwhelmed by her workout regimen and strict diet.
Just so everyone knows…Weight Watchers hasn't put ANY pressure on me! I'm trying to be as healthy as I can be for myself and I feel great!
— Jessica Simpson (@JessicaSimpson) June 28, 2012
The new mom inked a deal that requires her to lose 50 pounds in five months. Even though she's set a target weight for herself, she says the real goal is to start living a healthier life.
"I just want to feel normal and fixate on inches," she told People. "I really want to set small goals, so I'm constantly reaching goals and not looking at something so far ahead."
Since she teamed up with Weight Watchers, the company has shown public support, letting fans know they're behind the singer one hundred percent.
"Her talent, resilience and positive outlook already make her a great role model," the company said in a statement. "And by deciding to trade in yo-yo dieting for a healthier lifestyle, we know she will inspire many women to join her."
And if that wasn't enough, Jennifer Hudson welcomed Jessica to the Weight Watchers family with a few words of advice in an interview with ABC News.
"Try not to snack with the baby," she said. "And be active with the baby. Be active with them and you'll stay in shape. There's no workout like running around after a 2-year-old."
The American Idol alum, who had her son, David, in 2009, lost an estimated 80 pounds on the program and has no doubt that Jessica will see the same results.
"I think she will do awesome," Hudson said. "She's a pro. She knows what she's doing, for sure."

Somehow, in the midst of all the bad hard drive news, less attention was paid to the camera market. Here is what I dug up:
Nikon (as of 11/5): Effectively all DX-format production shut down by the floods (and this on top of power outages crimping their Japanese production after Fukushima...bad time to be a Nikon stockholder). They were expecting to start cleaning up the plant some around now, restart production in January, and possibly resume normal output levels by March. A friend who works for Ritz Camera also noted that they've suspended their employee and affiliates discount program indefinitely. So, expect severe shortages lasting into 2Q12.
Sony (as of 11/16): Alpha and NEX production shut down for several weeks, has now resumed. Two of Sony's three Thailand production facilities were down but the pre-launch production of the NEX-7 and Alpha A65 were resumed ahead of schedule by shifting them to the third plant. Continuing shortages possible.
Canon (as of 10/26): No camera production in Thailand, only inkjet printers. However, some Canon suppliers for camera lines reportedly affected, unknown delays and/or shortages could arise before everything settles out again.

MSI Announces Windows 8-Powered Slider S20 Ultrabook Convertible

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Slider S20 will make its way to consumers in Q1 2013 for $1,199.99 USD
While Windows 8
hasn't had the best sales record
in Microsoft OS history, more devices continue to roll onto store shelves in hopes of attracting customers, and MSI Computer Corp. is adding one more to that list.
MSI announced the Slider S20 Ultrabook Convertible, which is a new
Windows 8-powered device
that claims to be both slim and powerful.
The Slider S20 features 8GB of DDR3 memory, 128GB of SSD storage, 1920x1080 resolution, a weight of 2.2 pounds, a 1-inch thick body and a slew of connectivity options like a Jackson Peak Wireless adapter, Ethernet, Bluetooth, a mini HDMI-out connector, a 720p HD webcam and two USB3 ports.
"Many users prefer the mobility of a tablet, but still need the processing power of an actual laptop computer," said Andy Tung, vice president of sales for MSI US. "MSI's S20 Ultrabook Convertible solves that problem by combining the best of both worlds, giving users the choice of using it as a tablet or as a laptop."
The Slider S20 will make its way to consumers in Q1 2013 for $1,199.99 USD.
Microsoft's latest operating system could use some help in the device sales department. It was recently reported that Windows 8 usage has sunk below Windows Vista levels, which is a bad sign early on considering Vista was one of the most-hated Microsoft operating systems.
Windows 8 was released in October 2012.
Not long ago, Microsoft said that it had
sold 40 million licenses
, which it said surpassed sales of Windows 7 for an equivalent period in 2009. But license sales were not actual device sales.
Market research group Net Applications found
that Windows 8 accounted for a mere 1.72 percent of traffic
at the end of December. Three weeks after its 2009 launch, Windows 7 grabbed 4 percent of the OS market.
Vista reported about 2.2 percent of the total traffic after its first two months of release, which is about a third more than Windows 8's current percentage

"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

DETROIT - The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office will hold a press conference Wednesday to make an announcement in the Jane Bashara murder case.
The press conference will be at 11 a.m.
Watch it live on ClickOnDetroit.com
Bashara, a Grosse Pointe Park mother of two, was found dead in the back of her SUV in a Detroit alley on Jan. 25, 2012.
She had been reported missing the night before.
Handyman says he was told to do it
A man named Joe Gentz who did odd jobs for Bob Bashara pleaded guilty to killing Jane -- but said it was all under the order of her husband.
He took a plea deal on a charge of second-degree murder and has been sentenced to 17-28 years in prison.
Bob Bashara has not been charged in connection with his wife's death, but he has been convicted of trying to have Gentz killed.
A hit man plot
Last June, police said Bob worked to hire a hit man to kill Gentz in jail.
Bob pleaded guilty to solicitation of murder in October and said he "foolishly and regrettably" had offered to pay a man to find someone to kill Gentz.
READ: Bob Bashara pleads guilty to solicitation of murder charge
Bashara was sentenced in December to a minimum of 80 months in prison and a maximum of 20 years.
He is jailed in Manistee.
