Perhaps the only big play from Oakland's week 4 loss to Denver was a 37 yard pass and catch from Palmer to second year receiver Denarius Moore.
The play looked to be the result of an audible call from Palmer at the line and the long completion got the Raiders into position to make a field goal at the end of the half – the last points they'd score in the extremely lopsided game.
The Raiders came out in a run formation with two wide receivers, Derek Hagan and Moore, a TE, FB and RB.
The Raiders looked likely to be running to the right side – where Hagan was the receiver but not in wide position – because they were in an offset I to the strong side (the strong side is where the TE is lined up).
In the backfield were McFadden and Reece with Palmer directly under center. TE Brandon Myers was in the strong side slot between RT Willie Smith and Derek Hagan.
The Denver defense was in a 3-4 combination with 6 in the box (the box is the space between the tackles). They had the 3 down lineman and the LBs were shifted to the strong side with the strong-side OLB lined up versus Myers in the slot.
Denver's SS had come down for run support on the strong side as the indication, again, was the Raiders would be trying a strong side run. The FS was back and between the hashmarks so the Broncos were in a man cover-1 formation. Man, meaning that the DBs were matched up 1-1 on the receivers and backs and there was one safety back deep.
Palmer saw this formation and called an audible, possibly calling out of the run play and into the deep pass play once he saw that Moore would likely be single-covered on the outside left.
From right to left, at the snap, Hagan ran a shallow crossing route across center, Myers ran outside and then curled back in for a reception and Marcel Reece ran out of the backfield into the right flat. McFadden delayed a moment then headed up between the RG and RT to be an outlet receiver, chipping the DE on his way out.
Denver had to account for all of those receivers and didn't get any great rush on Palmer. Had he held onto the ball longer one of the MLBs would have had a pretty good shot on him but he got the ball out before that player got to him.
The action of the other receivers in the pattern was all close to the 1st down marker and that froze the FS because he didn't know where the ball was going to go, so he waited a moment to make sure the ball wasn't going short. That allowed Palmer the space to fit the ball into Moore who ran a 9 route- straight down the field.
Palmer had good protection on the play and made a fantastic throw – as you can see, it got right into Moore's hands over the outstretched hands of the DB, Tracy Porter.
Had it been a shade farther, Moore probably could have continued his acceleration and reached the end zone but he had to stop his momentum slightly to get the ball which gave the FS a chance to cover ground and get to him. The FS made a TD saving open-field tackle on Moore's legs to bring him down.
The play was a reminder of how explosive the team can be when they are working well in sync. The Raiders hope that this bye week allows them to get their offensive and defensive kinks worked out so that they can come out week 5 versus Atlanta with a much better showing.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
The following adverse reactions are described in more detail in other sections of the label:
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome:
Table 1 summarizes adverse reactions from 22 repeat-dose studies in patients with IBS who were treated with 1 mg of LOTRONEX twice daily for 8 to 24 weeks. The adverse reactions in Table 1 were reported in 1% or more of patients who received LOTRONEX and occurred more frequently on LOTRONEX than on placebo. A statistically significant difference was observed for constipation in patients treated with LOTRONEX compared to placebo (p<0.0001).
Gastrointestinal: Constipation is a frequent and dose-related side effect of treatment with LOTRONEX [see Warnings and Precautions ]. In clinical studies constipation was reported in approximately 29% of patients with IBS treated with LOTRONEX 1 mg twice daily (n = 9,316). This effect was statistically significant compared to placebo (p<0.0001). Eleven percent (11%) of patients treated with LOTRONEX 1 mg twice daily withdrew from the studies due to constipation. Although the number of patients with IBS treated with LOTRONEX 0.5 mg twice daily is relatively small (n = 243), only 11% of those patients reported constipation and 4% withdrew from clinical studies due to constipation. Among the patients treated with LOTRONEX 1 mg twice daily who reported constipation, 75% reported a single episode and most reports of constipation (70%) occurred during the first month of treatment, with the median time to first report of constipation onset of 8 days. Occurrences of constipation in clinical trials were generally mild to moderate in intensity, transient in nature, and resolved either spontaneously with continued treatment or with an interruption of treatment. However, serious complications of constipation have been reported in clinical studies and in postmarketing experience [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions]. In Studies 1 and 2, 9% of patients treated with LOTRONEX reported constipation and 4 consecutive days with no bowel movement [see Clinical Studies ]. Following interruption of treatment, 78% of the affected patients resumed bowel movements within a 2-day period and were able to re-initiate treatment with LOTRONEX.
Hepatic: A similar incidence in elevation of ALT (>2-fold) was seen in patients receiving LOTRONEX or placebo (1.0% vs. 1.2%). A single case of hepatitis (elevated ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin) without jaundice in a patient receiving LOTRONEX was reported in a 12-week study. A causal association with LOTRONEX has not been established.
Long-Term Safety: Patient experience in controlled clinical trials is insufficient to estimate the incidence of ischemic colitis in patients taking LOTRONEX for longer than 6 months.
Women With Severe Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome:
Table 2 summarizes the gastrointestinal adverse reactions from 1 repeat-dose study in female patients with severe diarrhea-predominant IBS who were treated for 12 weeks. The adverse reactions in Table 2 were reported in 3% or more of patients who received LOTRONEX and occurred more frequently with LOTRONEX than with placebo. Other events reported in 3% or more of patients who received LOTRONEX and occurring more frequently with LOTRONEX than with placebo included upper respiratory tract infection, viral gastroenteritis, muscle spasms, headaches, and fatigue.
Adverse reactions reported in another study of 701 women with severe diarrhea-predominant IBS were similar to those shown in Table 2. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions reported in 3% or more of patients who received LOTRONEX and occurring more frequently with LOTRONEX than with placebo included constipation (14% and 10% of patients taking LOTRONEX 1 mg twice daily or 0.5 mg as needed, respectively, compared with 2% taking placebo), abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and flatulence. Other events reported in 3% or more of patients who received LOTRONEX and occurring more frequently with LOTRONEX than with placebo included nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, viral gastroenteritis, and cough.
Constipation: Constipation was the most frequent adverse reaction among women with severe diarrhea-predominant IBS represented in Table 2. There was a dose response in the groups treated with LOTRONEX in the number of patients withdrawn due to constipation (2% on placebo, 5% on 0.5 mg once daily, 8% on 1 mg once daily, and 11% on 1 mg twice daily). Among these patients with severe diarrhea-predominant IBS treated with LOTRONEX who reported constipation most (75%) reported one episode which occurred within the first 15 days of treatment and persisted for 4 to 5 days.
Other Events Observed During Clinical Evaluation of LOTRONEX: During its assessment in clinical trials, multiple and single doses of LOTRONEX were administered, resulting in 11,874 subject exposures in 86 completed clinical studies. The conditions, dosages, and duration of exposure to LOTRONEX varied between trials, and the studies included healthy male and female volunteers as well as male and female patients with IBS and other indications.
In the listing that follows, reported adverse reactions were classified using a standardized coding dictionary. Only those events that an investigator believed were possibly related to LOTRONEX, occurred in at least 2 patients, and occurred at a greater frequency during treatment with LOTRONEX than during placebo administration are presented. Serious adverse reactions occurring in at least 1 patient for whom an investigator believed there was reasonable possibility that the event was related to treatment with LOTRONEX and occurring at a greater frequency in patients treated with LOTRONEX than placebo-treated patients are also presented.
In the following listing, events are categorized by body system. Within each body system, events are presented in descending order of frequency. The following definitions are used: infrequent adverse reactions are those occurring on one or more occasion in 1/100 to 1/1,000 patients; rare adverse reactions are those occurring on one or more occasion in fewer than 1/1,000 patients.
Although the events reported occurred during treatment with LOTRONEX, they were not necessarily caused by it.
In addition to events reported in clinical trials, the following events have been identified during use of LOTRONEX in clinical practice. Because they were reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. These events have been chosen for inclusion due to a combination of their seriousness, frequency of reporting, or potential causal connection to LOTRONEX.

A Billinge mum has criticised the parole system as her agonising wait to find out if her daughter's killer will be freed from jail goes on.
Marie McCourt spoke after more than a fortnight of delays in discovering whether Ian Simms went before the parole board on March 31.
Simms was locked up for the murder of 22-year-old insurance clerk Helen McCourt but has never revealed what happened to the body in the 26 years since.
Mrs McCourt said that whatever the outcome of the parole hearing victims' families are not given enough care and attention by the authorities.
She said: "I just think the way the victims' families are treated by the whole system is awful and very unfair.
"They go out of their way to ensure a prisoner has access to a barrister or solicitor and can appeal the decisions, but we've no right to appeal and you have to apply to the judge just to attend the parole hearing.
"If he decides he doesn't want the victim's family there they can't be there, and I just think that's wrong."
Mrs McCourt gave evidence to a panel at Leyland's Garth Prison last year before Simms's bid for freedom was adjourned for reasons which have not been disclosed.
Police recently made a fruitless search of St Aidan's churchyard in Billinge, and Mrs McCourt has since written an addendum statement to the parole judge, explaining how much pain such false leads continue to cause her.
Mrs McCourt also says she wants the system changed so Simms can remain in prison indefinitely until he admits what he has done with Helen's remains.
She said: "I just think something needs to be done. I feel this man should be told that until he is prepared to divulge where the burial site is he can never look forward to a release date."

If my delivery hospital does not collect cord blood donations can I send a mail-in donation?
Within the United States, there are a few programs that provide parents with a collection kit that they can take to the hospital and then send a mail-in donation to a public cord blood bank or a research laboratory. These programs are not financially efficient, and therefore are very limited. As of 2010 there used to four public banks that accepted mail-in donations for the national transplant registry, but as of 2016 the only one still providing this service is the Cord for Life program at Lifeforce Cryobanks in Florida. Another option is the mail-in donation program at Sanercon CCEL, where cord blood is used for research to develop cures for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. The Saneron program also has the convenience that the medical history is less strict and the deadline to register is more flexible.

Daryl Morey: Chandler Parsons to Make 'A Lot of Money,' Rockets Want to Keep HimJanuary 26, 2014
Give Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey this: He's honest and unafraid of costing his team money.
Morey held court with Rockets season-ticket holders, during which time he whipped out his crystal ball and predicted that Chandler Parsons was going to be rewarded handsomely for his services.
Said Morey, whose answers were made available by Twitter user and question-and-answer attendee @MiggysWorld35, and pointed out by ClutchFans.net's Ben DuBose:
With Chandler, we have an interesting decision. At the end of this year, we can turn down his option. People wonder why, because it's so cheap, but then he'd be a restricted free agent. Or he can go through his fourth year and be an unrestricted free agent. There are advantages to each, so it's something we'll continue to talk about.
He's going to make a lot of money on his next contract. We don't know how much. But we're committed to keeping him.
The decision Morey references is in regard to Parsons' contract.
The former second-round draft pick is earning under $1 million this year. At season's end, the Rockets can exercise a team option worth, once again, under $1 million that allows them to retain the 25-year-old.
Seems like a no-brainer since Parsons is currently averaging 17.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, right?
Not so fast.
Exercising that team option means Parsons will become an unrestricted free agent in 2015; declining it means he will become a restricted free agent this summer. In restricted free agency, the Rockets have the right to match any offer sheet Parsons signs. Unrestricted free agency gives them no such power, increasing the likelihood they would have to pay him more or lose him entirely.
Why pick up the option, then, if Morey says Houston wants to keep Parsons? Flexibility.
With all team and player options factored in, the Rockets have just over $63.2 million on their books for next season. Keeping Parsons for under $1 million makes it easier for them to create cap space by way of salary dump(s) and chase another impact free agent. Then, in 2015, they would hope to re-sign Parsons to a core stronger than the one they have now.
It's all very complicated and presumably financially driven.
Losing Parsons doesn't appear to be an option, but there's no telling what could happen between now and 2015 should Houston decide to let him explore unrestricted free agency. The decision is ultimately Houston's, and Morey can rest easy knowing that Parsons doesn't seem opposed to waiting one more year for another contract if he has to.
"It's a little frustrating seeing all these guys," Parsons said of earning so little, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, "but what I'm making right now is still a lot of money to me."
What he makes next will seem like, and easily be, much, much more.
Whenever "next" is.

Pakistan: Country Operational Strategy Study
This document outlined the operational strategy of ADB in Pakistan.
In 2001, the Country Operational Strategy Study (COSS) was replaced by the Country Strategy and Program. Effective August 2006, the Country Strategy and Program was renamed Country Partnership Strategy.
The COSS was the primary country-specific document in ADB's planning and programming cycle and prepared in close consultation with developing member countries - DMCs, and other aid agencies. It was usually prepared once every three years and is revised, as necessary, in the last quarter of a year for guiding the succeeding year's operational decisions.
The COSS is anchored on strong sectoral analysis. It
- provides the basis for determining ADB's country-specific, thematic, and sectoral priorities
- provides a framework for country performance review
- identifies and describes the distinctive role of ADB in the DMC in the context of the ADB's strategic objectives and the development priorities of the DMC
- facilitates ADB's decisions regarding choices in its operational program in the DMC
- provides the strategic framework to guide the preparation of the Country Assistance Plans
- Strategic Objectives
- Recent Economic and Governance Developments
- Development Issues and Challenges

The Oregon Ducks' season is unblemished thus far despite having to travel to Korea in a game against Georgetown. Joseph Young had one of his best performances of the season against a vastly underrated Utah Valley State Wolverines squad. On the night, Young finished with 20 points and seven rebounds.
However, Young was not the only impressive aspect of the Ducks tonight. The Ducks' defense held the Wolverines' best player, Holton Hunsaker, to four points and five assists. Hunsaker, the son of head coach Dick Hunsaker, missed his first five shots from the floor and ended up going 2-of-10 from the floor. The one bright spot for the Wolverines was Idaho-born Mitch Bruneel, who finished with 15 points and three rebounds.
The Ducks struggled in the first half, and Young and point guard Jonathon Loyd carried them. Loyd and Young look to be the guys that will set the tone in the PAC-12 Conference.
The undefeated Ducks will look to keep their streak alive against UC-San Francisco in their next game. So far, the Ducks have exceeded expectations even with one of their best players sidelined due to a suspension. No one would have expected the Ducks to play this well in their first nine games without Dominic Artis.
The PAC-12 Conference is top-heavy with its strength, and Oregon, along with UCLA, Arizona and Cal, all have a great shot to win it. If the Ducks can play defense like tonight, they are going to cause some headaches to the best coaches in the conference.
Defense is rare in the PAC-12, even in football, and Oregon looks like it has the best. On the night, the Ducks held the Wolverines to 38 percent shooting from the floor and 25 percent from the 3-point line; the defense also forced 14 turnovers. Stingy defense will keep you in games especially when the other offense struggles, and Oregon's defense will keep them afloat when Artis is suspended.
Also, the duo of Young and Loyd will keep them floating in the air until Artis comes back. With the strong defense and offensive output of Young and Loyd, the Ducks will stay undefeated until its first real test in Ole Miss on December 8.

For most children, Brussels sprouts, along with beets and turnips, fall in the category of "disgusting vegetables." At least that was the case for me.
There were two problems with my childhood sprouts. The first was that my mother didn't know how to cook them. (Sorry, Mom!) She tossed them whole in unsalted water and cooked them until they were officially limp - a death sentence for a vegetable with great flavor. The result was a mushy, bitter disaster that I was forced to mop up if I wanted a lick of dessert. We didn't have a dog and I never missed dessert, so you can imagine why I loathed Brussels sprouts for so many years.
Problem number two (this may have been out of my mother's control): Most sprouts come from California. The smallest, which are more tender, and nuttier and sweeter, than their larger counterparts, were usually shipped to frozen-food companies. The rejected sprouts, the larger ones, were sent fresh to supermarkets.
Today, both large and small, and green and red Brussels sprouts are available year-round. But if you don't want your child to suffer the same gustatory fate I did, buy smaller sprouts (about 1-inch in diameter) from late fall to early winter at a farmers' market, where they may be sold still attached to their large stalk. Choose heavy sprouts with tight buds and no yellow leaves.
Once home, don't store them in the fridge for too long. They may not look like they're deteriorating, but the flavor starts fading right after they're harvested. Clean the sprouts in a bowl of lukewarm water.
At the stove, there are several things to keep in mind. Brussels sprouts need salt and overcooking ruins them. For quick sautes, core the sprouts (as you would a tomato) and separate the leaves one by one. Thinly slice the inseparable leaves in the center. If you do not have an unpaid intern to help you separate the leaves, do something simpler. Halve them through the core and slice them thinly. Saute in oil with garlic, salt, and pepper.
For braising and boiling, trim the sprout bases; small rounds can be boiled whole in salted water; larger ones should be halved or quartered. In "Lidia's Family Table," Lidia Bastianich pairs lemon sauce with sauteed sprout leaves. Serve them as a side dish on the Thanksgiving table, or toss with short pasta, such as fusilli, and some of the pasta cooking water. Refrigerate leftover lemon sauce or freeze it to serve with other "disgusting" vegetables. - JILL SANTOPIETRO

Vidic Is The New Bergkamp
Nemanja Vidic has admitted he's very scared of flying. A certain ex-Arsenal player springs to my mind...
'I'm starting to get more worried each time I fly,' he said. 'My wife isn't very good on planes and the more travelling I do with her the more she makes me nervous.'
Talking about Bobby Charlton, the big Serbian praised the legendary man's courage.
'He was involved in a terrible air crash yet he still flies. He is a very, very courageous man. I cannot imagine doing that, definitely not.'
So, who's the first name that springs to your mind when you hear a football player is afraid of flying? Well of course it's Arsenal's ex-magician Dennis Bergkamp. Now Vidic can claim he's the next Bergkamp: famous footballer of one of England's top sides who is scared of entering a plane.
But it's even weirder than in the case of Bergkamp. After all, the Dutchman was a player of sublime skill who was regularly in danger of being kicked off the park by brute defenders who could not live with his vision and technique. Somehow it's easier to associate fear with these kind of players.
But a defender? Vida is a no-nonsense, tough, uncompromising defender. Imagine him sweating from fear inside of an aeroplane... I can't, it's just unreal. But I assume that even the most courageous men have their own fears. Still, it's weird.

For lobstermen, harvesting can be summed up in two words: size and traps. Now, a new study by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution finds that lobstermen can earn more with fewer traps.
PORTLAND, Maine For lobstermen, harvesting can be summed up in two words: size and traps.
If lobsters in their traps are either too big or too small, the lobstermen toss the crustaceans back into the water. They credit this method with record harvests and healthy lobster stocks.
Now, a new study by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution challenges that wisdom, finding that lobstermen can earn more with fewer traps.
Dick Allen, a former lobstermen from Rhode Island who helped with the study, said he expected skepticism. Making more money with fewer traps defies conventional wisdom, but makes sense to him.
"If you can catch the same amount with less effort, without catching them repeatedly and throwing them back, you can make more money and still protect the resource," he said.
Allen said the current method wastes time, diesel fuel and expensive bait.
"It is insanity," he said.
Nonetheless, implementing the suggestions in Maine would be a tough sell.
Maine fishermen are coming off another record year in which the value of the catch climbed to nearly $290 million in 2005, according to preliminary data.
The Maine lobster industry has been enjoying unprecedented success since the early 1990s, when the catch broke 30 million pounds. The annual catch first exceeded 40 million pounds in 1997, and it topped 50 million pounds two years after that. In 2002, the harvest rose to 63.6 million pounds, and the 2004 catch topped 70 million pounds.
Maine lobstermen believe their conservation techniques are part of the reason behind their success. They've set a minimum size standard to let juveniles grow to maturity and a maximum size limit to protect large lobsters, which are important for broodstock.
They are also required to cut a v-notch into the tails of egg-bearing females, making them off limits. Maine also has imposed trap limits with a current maximum of 800.
The Woods Hole study concludes that the strict size limits could be relaxed if lobstermen were willing to further reduce the number of traps they plunk into coastal waters each summer.
Allen teamed up with Hauke Kite-Powell at the Institution's Marine Policy Center, and, together, they tweaked a computer model of the lobster fishery created at the University of Rhode Island.
They tested various scenarios. Most of the time, total landings remained the same even though the number of traps was reduced, reducing fishermen's costs, Kite-Powell said.
The focus of the study, funded by a $40,000 grant from The Island Foundation in Massachusetts, was on the lobster fishery south of Cape Cod. Allen noted that southern New England lobstermen were riding a wave of big landings in the late 1990s similar to Maine's before their fishery collapsed.
Given Maine's success in recent years, it's hard to make an argument for change, said Bob Bayer, executive director of the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine.
"I think we've got a very sustainable fishery, just as we're doing it now," Bayer said. "We're doing all of the right things."

Ramayana when it rains
In Kerala, the traditional month of Karkidakam that falls in July and August is associated with heavy rains.
In Kerala, the traditional month of Karkidakam that falls in July and August is associated with heavy rains. It used to once be a time of scarcity, wetness and disease. There was no work in the fields and staying at home doing nothing meant boredom and quarrels for no reason. To cope with this, people began to read the Ramayana. So the month became renowned as the Ramayana month.
Illustration/ Devdutt Pattanaik
What is read is the Malayalam Adhyatma Ramayana (or the spiritual Ramayana) written in the 16th century by Thunchaththu Ramanujan Ezhuthachan. It was written around the same time as Tulsidasa wrote his Ramcharitmanas in Avadhi. Most Hindi speakers are quite oblivious of this Malayalam version. Like Tulsi's retelling, Ezhuthachan's retelling of the epic is quite different from Valmiki's Ramayana, written at least 1,500 years earlier. While Valmiki focuses on Ram, the hero, Ezhuthachan Ramayana, like Tulsi Ramayana, views Ram as God, indicating a shift in the nature of Hinduism from the earlier pre-Buddhist ritualistic and heroic period to the post-Buddhist bhakti period. A unique feature of Ezhuthachan Ramayana is the episode of Maya Sita according to which a duplicate of Sita was abducted by Ravana while Sita stayed with Agni, the fire-god.
What is especially significant about Ezhuthachan Ramayana is that it marks the rise of the Grantha-based Malayalam script marking a shift from the older Vatteluttu script. It also marks a rise in the birth of highly Sanskritised Malayalam literature and a break from earlier Tamil and Tulu influences.
Ezhuthachan was probably from an oil-presser caste — he was a follower of Ramanuja, the great Vedanta scholar who wrote on bhakti — and he secured the title of Ezhuthachan, which means an elder who knows to write and teach, as a respect for his work. His work brought Vedic wisdom to the masses, until then restricted to the Brahmins. There are many legends told about him: that a girl approached a Brahmin saying that she had conceived a child at a particular time because it was foretold he would be a great poet who would change the lives of people; that in his past life he was a gandharva who witnessed the Mahabharata war; that Saraswati completed some of the verses of the Devi Mahatyam; that Brahmins were so jealous of him that they got him drunk but he still managed to write the Ramayana in an inebriated state.
Besides Ramayana, Ezhuthachan also wrote the Mahabharata and the Devi Mahatmaya. A recurring motif in his writings is the parrot who sings songs perhaps alluding to Suka, the parrot-headed son of Vyasa-muni, author of the Puranas. Of course, this was not the first or only Ramayana in Malayalam. There are a few Ramayanas written before, in older forms of Malayalam, and many after this. This is yet another reminder of the vast and diverse literary heritage that is the Ramayana.

After a pretty packed summer of riding bikes and filming them, the people behind low key UK riding film Pretty Sweet have edited together their sequel and it will be making it's debut at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival on the 7th October. They've also kindly agreed to let us run the film exclusively on the Singletrack website, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Here's the release about the festival in the meantime…
"Pretty Sweet 2 will make its debut on the 7th of October at this years Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival, alongside a whole load of lectures, exhibitions and another 21 of the years finest mountain films.
The 9th Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival, from the 6th-9th September, features films from all over the world and aims to inspire, enlighten and entertain outdoor enthusiasts, whether they are climbers, skiers or snowboarders, kayakers, mountain bikers, BASE jumpers or explorers.
The festival was established in 2003 and is now firmly established as an annual event held in October each year. Over 2,000 people attend the festival each year making the EMFF one of the best attended mountain film festivals in the UK.
Pretty Sweet 2 picks up where the first film left off, still heading out into the mountains of the UK and Europe, and in somewhat home-made fashion continuing the search for the perfect trail. Another 2 wheeled highlight of the festival is Al Humphrey's talk on his mammoth 5 continent, 4 year, 46,000 mile round the world cycle.

CN Tower Toronto Reviews
25 reviews
Must-see when visiting Toronto May 09, 2013
A must-see when visiting Toronto as this is our famous landmark. In 1995, the CN Tower was classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It costs $40 to get up top plus the SkyPod which -- is one of the highest observation platforms in the world with a unique and spectacular view like no other. Board a separate elevator on the LookOut Level to travel through the core of the Tower an incredible 33 additional stories higher to SkyPod. This level features a unique 360° perspective looking down over Toronto, Lake Ontario and beyond. Under ideal conditions visibility is up to 160km /100 miles away to Niagara Falls and New York State.
I've been to the CN Tower many times when relatives visited us. I will be going again very soon to experience the EdgeWalk which is a new attraction that allows you to walk on the outside top of the CN Tower! For $175 + tax, you can visit the inside of the CN Tower, walk on the outside and get photos and a video of you on the outside top of the tower.
I will post another CN Tower review after I've done the EdgeWalk.

With my plans to visit Canada, came a list of 'To Do Things'. On my long "Bucket List" has always been the CN Tower and Banff in Canada. So once I was done with my older sister, Niagara falls and Kitchener, I went off to Etobicoke to see my baby brother (who by the way looks older only because he is 6'4 in height). His wife and I had booked a tour of Toronto on the open top buses. I figured travelling with children this was the best way to go. My brother also has a 3 year old which meant we would have 3 children tagging along. So our first stop was of course going to be the highly recommended CN Towers. One cannot miss it, it towers the Toronto Skyline. I had tried to book a dinner at the restaurant above it before leaving the United States, but they were booked for months I was told.
As you may have read from the many reviews on Virtual Tourist and elsewhere, it comes highly recommend. But I tell you what? I thought it was highly overrated and was frankly disappointed after trying two days in vain to get up to the top of the tower. It did however remind me of the Space Needle in Seattle and the inkling to go up was stronger. One the first day, we arrived at a little after 1:00 pm, the hassle of going down to the ticket counter using the escalator was frustrating. The establishment is not handicap friendly so we had to carry the baby's stroller down the escalator and up a flight of stairs on the return. Once we got to the ticket counter, we waited in line for almost 25 minutes, only to be told there was a 2 hour wait to get to the top. The children were hungry and hot. Josephine and I decided we would try again the next morning between 9:00 – 11:00 am when we were told were the best times.
A few people still think it is the tallest building on earth, but that is because they have not been to the Emirates lately (smile!). It is now among the top five tallest free standing structures and a wonder of the world. As such it is a huge attraction to millions who come to visit it each year. It features a rotating restaurant at the top, a high-speed elevator, #D Movie Theater, a wine cellar and three sightseeing stops along the way.
The next day we left home early and headed downtown to get on our tour bus. Unfortunately due to delays by the tour bus, we got to the CN Tower at 12:00 noon, this time I had my daughter go find out how long the wait is, seeing as we had missed the times advised the day before. The wait was an hour and 30 minutes. Well we decided it was not worth the wait, we wanted to go to the Harbour Front and take a boat to the island, and that is what we did. I figured, I will leave it on my 'to do list' for next summer when we plan to go to Banff. From the outside, the tower is impressive, makes one feel really small; I figured the view from above would be of the entire Toronto area, next time.
Prices to go up vary based on the package one chooses. We just wanted to go up to the viewing deck to see Toronto's Skyline.
*Observation Plus - $28.99 per adult, $21.99 for children (4-12), $24.99 for seniors 65 and older
*Observation Only - $22.99 per adult, $14.99 children (4-12 yrs), $20.99 for seniors 65 and older
Individual tours or a la Carte tours include;
Sky pod - $10.00 per person
Motion Theater ride only - $10.00 per person
Maple Leaf Theater - $10.00 per person
I believe the Citypass gives you a better package because it includes the top 5 must see attractions of Toronto for $58.99
However if you find yourself wanting to tour it, my brother recommends doing it at night. Apparently the night views are breath-taking.

A nice experience Aug 21, 2011
The CN Tower is considered a must when you staying in Toronto and I decided I would be there as early as possible in the morning in order to avoid the crowd, at least that was my hope.
It was a wonderful Sunday morning and I was already at the tower 9.10 am, mainly because I woke up extremely early still on European time after having arrived in Toronto the day before.
I had parked my rental car just across the street in the underground parking under the train museum and arrived to a very short queue; it consisted only of 5 persons before me.
I quickly managed all the lines and found myself in front of the elevator taking me to the observation level. The elevator was nice because you have the view out and down so you could follow the climb up. After less than a minute we were up and there was probably 50 other tourists up there at that point.
The view was great even though it was not completely clear but I managed to be there on a good day. I had not bought a ticket to the sky pod, which I found was a mistake but luckily they also sold tickets at the entrance for 11,30$. Afterwards I was happy that I bought for the last 33 stories as well, because when I arrived there were less than 10 persons in the Sky Pod, which meant that I had whole corner views for myself.
The elevator from the sky pod took me down to the glass deck where some persons were lying down to make their favourite shot. I went down afterwards and was quite pleased with the experience; it had been well worth the 35 $.

CN tower Mar 19, 2011
We used the CityPass for our weekend trip to Toronto and decided to check out the CN Tower. There was no line to get our CityPass booklet and we were able to bypass the photo opportunity before heading through security and onto the elevator. The woman in the elevator was friendly, but didn't seem to love her job. We took a quick wander around the upper deck, walked around on the glass floor, headed outside for a quick picture and then were ready to take the elevator back down. The CityPass gave us admission to either a 3D movie or a video ride, so we chose the movie. It was nice to sit down for a 20 minute movie break, but the movie wasn't anything earth-shattering. Make a stop at the CN Tower if you have kids who would enjoy the glass floor, but don't plan on spending a ton of time here.

Birds eye view of Toronto Aug 11, 2011
In 1976 the CN tower became a signature icon in the heart of downtown Toronto that you are able to see it from miles away on a clear day driving into town. For 34 years the CN tower was the world's record holder for the tallest free-standing structure and the tallest tower standing 1,815.4feet (553.33 meters). The communications and observation tower has become an icon for tourist to visit from all around the world. Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower.
I am not sure what the normal price for admission is for the tower since we purchased the citypass and were able to skip the lines going through security. That was quiet nice, which saved a lot of time and money. Since I heard the prices were high, check out my review on the citypass if you want more information.
The ride up in the elevator is short and sweet with a couple glass tiles in the floor for your viewing pleasure. On an overcast day like the day we went you aren't able to get a spectacular view but the view is still pretty amazing. With the limited visibility we were still able to see the hussel and bussel of the Toronto streets below. The staff members say that you can see the Mist from Niagara Falls on a clear day. The observation deck consists of an indoor and outdoor viewing area. The breeze felt pretty nice from way up above but pictures are limited since there are nets up to protect people from falling.
The line for the skypod was over an hour and since the visibility was limited we decided to skip it. The glass floor viewing area was packed with kids sprawled out all over the floor taking photos and jumping on the glass. It defiantly was a weird feeling but was still pretty cool to do. We kept seeing signs for a new attraction that was opening soon at the tower and that was the sky walk. After checking more into it online makes me want to go back to give it a try. We did also get the choice of a 3d movie or a simulated ride; we picked the ride which was kind of cool but really fast pace for a simulated ride.
If you are looking to get a bird's eye view of Toronto and beyond, then make sure you stop at the CN Tower and don't be scared to step out on the glass floor.

See whole Toronto from here..!! Jul 17, 2011
CN Tower is Torontonian attraction. You have great elevator to bring you up. It is 1175 feet tall building located in downtown Toronto (I live 10 minuets from there). Up there, there are many things to do which can keep you busy for about 4 to 5 hours easy. You have Look Out, Glass floor (this is amazing as at the distance this high, you will have nothing in between, just you stand on glass and look down to see ground..scary..!!), 3D film which features beauty of island, motion theater ride. All these cost (Nothing left) $35+13% tax=$39.55. There are also individual tickets available, I would suggest to book the whole package. They also have 360 restaurant. Breathtaking view of city with drinks in your hand...nothing beats it.,,this is bit expensive depending upon menu you choose. I would suggest to check forecast before you buy a ticket. Choose a day when it's not cloudy and try checking in one hour before sunset so that you can enjoy day and night time view in the same price.
There are four more attractions in Toronto beside others, one can buy city pass to cover all these places for $59.
Let me know when you coming...I would love to bring you around.

Worth the lines Jul 01, 2011
I took a trip up to both the observation deck and the skypod after a Blue Jays game. They have a cross promotion (and are right next to eachother) so if you have a ticket for that day's game you get a good discount. I really wasn't interested in the movie/ride portion and didn't take it so I can't say much about that.
Once you get your ticket and go in there is a very long line to actually go up. Understandably they can only have so many people up there so every time an elevator full comes down, thats when another lets people go up. I was probably in line about 45 minutes before getting to go to the observation deck.
Its a great view up there. Everyone is over by the glass floor section to take photos. If you want to do the same you're probably going to have to settle for having other people in the background of your shot.
There is another line and wait to go up to the skypod. But its so worth it. The view, and the visibility for pictures, is sooo much better up there.

Nice, but expensive Jan 30, 2011
For most people this is a must do in Toronto, yes it is, but of course only on a clear day!! The views are amazing, you can pay extra to go up higher to the sky pod, its pretty much the same views, just a smaller viewing area! I was there durning January, it was pretty cold, it is expensive and there are many options, the most expensive option $35 allows you to travel all the way to the top (sky pod) plus the two attractions at the bottom when you come back down. First off all both attractions have nothing to do with the CN Tower or Canada, one was a 3d surf trip and the other was this simulation ride following a log around a forest, yes I know very strange! All in all, a good experience.

Quick Attraction Jan 06, 2011
This experience was very neat but for the cost it was over quite fast. You have to pay extra to experience the full CN tower and that is not included in the Toronto Pass (which I would recommend). If you are on a tight budget and seeing unique attractions like this are not on the top of the list I would say not to sweat it but if you have the cash then I suggest it because you get to view the heights on a glass floor and going up/down while in the elevator.

Way up high Jul 16, 2011
If you are just passing by Toronto, you shouldn't miss the visit to CN Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world. You'll get goosebumps when you step on the glass floor and stare down. Definitely best place to have a 360 degree view of the city.

Good to climb Jul 12, 2011
It's a must see if you ever come to Toronto. You should climb to stairs or ride the elevator up to the rotating restaurant. Either way, its a must see as it is the main landmark in Toronto, in Canada for that matter. Also recently added colourful lights that shine at nighttime (don't really like it myself)

splendid sightseeing spot in Toronto Jun 30, 2011
Despite the restaurant at the top of the tower, a tour inside the tower is very affordable. It would be a great experience to take a look at the city and Lake Ontario. Of course, you can pay a dollar or so to use the binoculars on top of the tower for sightseeing.

Dinner in the CN Tower! Jun 16, 2011
Being in the CN Tower, looking over the city of Toronto is such a beautiful sight to see - especially at night.
There's a glass floor you walk on so it feels like you are standing on nothing - but don't worry, you're safe and sound.
I'd advise going for a dinner in the evening, getting a bit dolled up, and enjoy the scenery of a busy city.

cn tower Jun 12, 2011
this is a cool place if you are in toronto. Just a one time, been there, done that sight. Nothing too spectacular. too touristy of course. Still recommended since I forgot what other places are of interest in Toronto. Toronto is still a great city.

Great view of the city Apr 18, 2011
The tower has a great view of the city and the lake and many Torontonians are very proud of it. You can also grab a meal at the restaurant on top of the tower (dont have to pay entrance fee this way). The food at the restaurant isn't superb but it definitely has a great view!

An experience Mar 15, 2011
If you don't mind the lines or waiting in them. Go to the CN, but go at NIGHT. During the day it looks like any other Canadian city, large and concrete. At night, the lights make it look magical and it seems to go on forever. There is also a bar at the top if you wanted to grab a drink or two and enjoy the view-like I did. It was a very nice time.

CN Tower - The definitive Toronto landmark Nov 24, 2010
When in Toronto, it is an absolute must to go to this tower. Built in the 70s, it is the tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere. From a dizzying height, you get to see Toronto in all its glory, as well as a great view of Lake Ontario. The glass floor of the giant disc is great for photo ops, as you can lie down on it and have the ground way down below as you background. Great items are also found at the gift shop at the ground floor. It is also near another renowned landmark, the Rogers Centre, a stadium with a retractable roof and home of the Blue Jays baseball team.
*Special thanks to my sis and fellow TB Jolie for the pics.

Spectacular Toronto in lights Apr 24, 2010
CN Tower, Tallest structure in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is a great place to visit to see Toronto under lights. Entry fee was around 25USD for all activities include the Look Out, Glass Floor, Sky Pod, and a Film.
The structure with an antenna on top and with LED lighting in the night looks amazing. Travelling in transparant capsule elevators to 1200ft above Toronto to see the beautiful breath taking Toronto in lights is spectacular. The skypod view is amazing too. Experience the breeze standing on top of CN tower is marvelous feeling.
Movie of 20 mins about the why the need and how of the CN tower construction is very informative. Sovwnir shop on ground floor has good collection too.

How To and Where To Unlock FFXIV's Dark Knight Job
Dark Knight is an exciting new tank class released in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward that uses magic to not only hold hate, but inflict pain onto enemies. However before we get into explaining how FFXIV's Dark Knight works, we first have to explain how to even unlock it.
First things first, you need to be at least level 30 in a Disciple of War or Magic class to begin the quest and have access to Ishgard. This may be obvious to most, but if you just picked up FFXIV: Heavensward and were looking forward to starting right away as a Dark Knight, that unfortunately won't be possible.
Unlike the other new Job quests that are easily found by just looking at the Ishgard map for an appropriate marking, the FFXIV Dark Knight job quest is well-hidden. First, find the Ishgardian Citizen at coordinates (13,8) near the tribunal to begin the quest.
After a short exchange, you'll be on your way to meet your new mentor. Speak to the Punctilious Temple Knight to trigger a cutscene where you will meet Fray, your connection to the FFXIV Dark Knight world. After this cutscene is over, you will have unlocked the Dark Knight, congratulations!
However, stopping here and jumping right to it would be foolish. There is a Job quest to tackle right after completing the unlock quest. It can be surprisingly challenging if you don't employ the right strategy. It's important that you get through it though as Darkside, the ability that you unlock as a reward, is an extremely important one. With that, let's break down the next quest, Ishgardian Justice.

I would like members thoughts on OFGEMs interpretation of a compensation turbine, where the turbine is sized to provide all of the downstream flow; essentially how much over the statutory compensation flow should the turbine be rated (and allowed) to flow? The point being of course, if the turbine flows exactly the compensation flow and no more, there is no "buffer" to a restriction/weeds etc reducing the flow and NRW (in our case) prosecuting on grounds of failing compensation.
I would expect that something like 10% would seem sensible - after all there will always be some %age allowance for the operators and NRW flow measuring equipment - it seems however in this instance OFGEM might want to force us as low as possible. Oddly enough as the site is an impounding reservoir on occasions very tight on capacity Vs demand we have are in agreement with OFGEM to some extent - it's just that we don't have a figure for it (well we do but OFGEM seem to think at 10% it's a bit high).
Experience/thoughts please?

Re: EA/NRW compensation flow and OFGEM Interpretation
Surely the problem is not the turbine size but the blocking of the compensation arrangements. That happens on many sites and frequent inspection and screen cleaning may be required. It is really about the dimensions of the screen that protects the compensation flow.
