MIDDLESEX TWP — The negligence lawsuit filed against the township, the Saxonburg Area Authority, Holy Sepulcher School and two companies over a 2007 accident has been settled for $200,000.
The parents of Robert Maust, 20, Jason and Stephanie Maust of Penn Township, have reached an agreement with all five defendants, ending the civil case initiated in 2009.
Under the agreement, the township's insurer paid the Mausts $85,000 while the authority paid $15,000.
Scot Fodi, township manager, said he had no reaction to the case being settled.
"I'm not aware of the settlement amount," he said.
Attorney Joseph Luvara of the Pittsburgh firm Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote, who represented the township, said the Mausts won't be able to renege on the agreement or file a new lawsuit.
"It's a full and final release," Luvara said.
On March 20, 2007, Robert Maust, who was 14 at the time, went down a retaining wall to a culvert along Old Route 8 to retrieve a basketball during a school recess.
A roughly 3,000-pound concrete block subsequently fell on Maust, pinning him underneath about 12:30 p.m. Emergency crews worked for 90 minutes to extricate him.
Although Maust was mobile and alert, he was flown by medical helicopter to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh as a precaution.
The Mausts filed the lawsuit two years later, alleging their son suffered permanent injuries from the accident.
Attorney Larry Lutz of the Butler firm Pawk & Lutz, who represented the Mausts, said Robert Maust's back won't ever heal.
"He's basically got a bad, twisted back," Lutz said.
He said Maust walks fine, but has ill-effects after doing anything rigorous.
"He has to choose whether to engage in certain activities," Lutz said.
Lutz compared Maust's back to that of an old man, but conceded Maust didn't stop playing sports.
"He's played hockey since that accident," Lutz said.
Maust now attends St. Bonaventure University in New York.
All the parties participated in mediation through June, which led to the settlement.

The important thing right now isn�t whether Edward Snowden should be labeled hero or villain. First, let�s have the debate he sparked over surveillance and privacy. Then we can decide how history should remember him.
Snowden is the 29-year-old intelligence analyst and computer geek who has been leaking some of the National Security Agency�s most precious secrets to journalists from The Washington Post and the Guardian. He is now on the lam, having checked out of the Hong Kong hotel where he was holed up for several weeks as he orchestrated a worldwide media splash that shows no sign of ending.
Snowden betrayed his employer, the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, and his promise not to divulge classified information. He paints what he did as an act of civil disobedience, but he has decided to seek political asylum abroad rather than surrender to authorities and accept the consequences. In published interviews, he comes across as grandiose to the point of self-parody, a legend in his own mind.
He is an imperfect messenger, to say the least. But his message should not be ignored.
Did you know that the NSA is compiling and storing a massive, comprehensive log of our domestic phone calls? I didn�t. Nor did I know that the agency sucks in huge volumes of email traffic and other electronic data overseas -- not just communications originating in trouble spots such as Pakistan but also in countries such as Germany and Britain. I would have thought that anyone who accused the U.S. government of �omniscient, automatic, mass surveillance,� as Snowden did in an exchange with Post contributor Barton Gellman, was being paranoid. Now I�m not so sure.
As President Obama noted, nobody is eavesdropping on the phone calls of U.S. citizens and residents. I�m not certain this could be said about email communications in other countries, some of which take privacy as seriously as we do. British Foreign Secretary William Hague felt obliged Monday to reassure Parliament that �our intelligence-sharing work with the United States is subject to ministerial and independent oversight� and to legislative scrutiny.
But we have oversight of intelligence operations in this country, too. The problem is that the system works more or less like a rubber stamp.
The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has to issue the orders that allow the NSA to collect �metadata� from telephone providers. But as far as I can tell -- we are not allowed to know the content of the court�s rulings, and have to make do with crumbs of, well, metadata -- the court�s standard answer is yes.
In its 34 years of existence, the court has approved more than 30,000 government requests for surveillance authority while rejecting a grand total of 11. That is not what I�d call oversight.
The NSA�s snooping is also subject to scrutiny by the intelligence committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The chairmen of those panels -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich. -- have been among the NSA�s most vocal supporters in recent days. But since so much of the committees� work is classified, they say they can�t tell us why.
And as for Obama, he said last week that �I welcome this debate and I think it�s healthy for our democracy.� Why, then, didn�t he launch the discussion rather than wait for Snowden�s leaks?
In the coming debate, someone should explain why a mid-level computer guy working for a private contractor had access to so many of the NSA�s most closely held secrets. Someone should explain why the intelligence court is evidently so compliant. Someone should explain -- perhaps in French, German and Spanish -- why our allies� emails are fair game for the agency�s prying eyes.
But here�s the big issue: The NSA, it now seems clear, is assembling an unimaginably vast trove of communications data, and the bigger it gets, the more useful it is in enabling analysts to make predictions. It�s one thing if the NSA looks for patterns in the data that suggest a nascent overseas terrorist group or an imminent attack. It�s another thing altogether if the agency observes, say, patterns that suggest the birth of the next tea party or Occupy Wall Street movement.
Is that paranoia? Then reassure me. Let�s talk about the big picture and decide, as citizens, whether we are comfortable with the direction our intelligence agencies are heading. And let�s remember that it was Snowden, not our elected officials, who opened this vital conversation.

Even when it's a labor of love, caring for an aged, seriously ill or disabled friend or family member can be hard, and you may wonder whether anybody can understand what you're going through. Actually, many people can relate to your situation—did you know nearly 66 million Americans serve as caregivers? It's difficult to wrap your mind around a number that large, which is why we created Caregiver Stories.
Meet James Patterson. James became a caregiver to his wife on New Year's Day 2005, after she was hospitalized with complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). As with many others in his situation, he didn't just wake up that day and choose to become a caregiver. "It's a very long process, becoming a caregiver, and you never realize you've begun until you have a chance to reflect."
According to James, being a caregiver is a big responsibility, one that can be isolating. "I think men, in particular, tend to think they can handle everything themselves and are not as comfortable asking for help," he says. "That's a mistake—it's important to get help when you need it and have support structures in place."
James suggests that caregivers take some time for themselves when and if they can. Two or 3 times a week, he has a caregiving helper come and stay with his wife for a few hours.
"These breaks are extremely important because I can get chores or errands done or go play a game of golf," he explains. "As a caregiver, you can never really get away—you're always there. But, if you can find time for something else and get away from your daily routine even for a short while, it can be very rejuvenating."
Although the physical demands are great, he also notes the emotional weight that many caregivers carry. "A struggle I deal with as a caregiver is that you don't always get a 'thank you' for your hard work because it becomes expected and part of the routine, which can sometimes make you frustrated or angry. However, my actions are just part of our way of our life, so 'thank-yous' aren't needed or expected anymore, and when one comes along, it's a really big deal."
His "best advice" for new caregivers: "Be patient and be in it for the long haul. Get as much information as possible and know that people are there to support you." James describes the resources at Ask Medicare and the National Institute on Aging as invaluable. "They cover everything from bathing to hygiene to incontinence. I'm learning something new every day. I can show the materials available to my wife and we can read them together so she can help me help her."
If James' story inspired you or gave you food for thought about your caregiver experience, then please consider sharing your best tips and lessons. Write about your experience and send a photo to email@example.com–we may add your story to our website!

Tuesday, June 05, 2012 - Street Hunting - Anton Malac - GONZO
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
We have a great pairing for this screentest. Zdenek Kabat came back for a second casting, having only done a solo shoot the first time around. Now he agreed to go further. We brought in Radim Valovy to work with him, as he is a newcomer and performed well in his own screentest. Radim gets things started by interviewing Zdenek briefly and then he leans over and begins to kiss him. At the same time Radim's hand slips inside Zdenek's underwear to get a feel of his cock. Radim works his way down Zdenek's body and starts to suck on his hard cock. His hand grabs the balls as that big cock fills his mouth. Radim really sucks well, working his mouth over the cock and sucking on the balls as Zdenek pushes his shorts down. Soon Zdenek is ready to suck too and reaches over, to take hold of Radim's thick, hard cock. Then he leans down and begins to lick the head, and then up and down the shaft before taking the head in his mouth. He sucks on that cock and then Radim begins to fuck it into his mouth. Radim loves the feeling and lays Zdenek down, kneeling over his face and pushing his cock in and out of his mouth. Zdenek wanks himself as he sucks on Radim's rock hard cock. Radim then leans over and starts to suck on Zdenek's cock again, so they are in a 69. Radim's cock really fills Zdenek's mouth and he, manfully, takes as much as he can. Radim then moves on to Zdenek's ass, rimming that hairy hole. Zdenek's hand in on Radim's head pushing it into his hole as the tongue laps at it. Radim is rock hard and ready to fuck. With Zdenek laying on his stomach Radim pushes his big, fat cock deep into that tight hole. Zdenek moans as he feels that cock stretching his ass, fucking it nice and deep. Radim's hips thrust back and forth working his cock deep into that tight ass. Radim then turns Zdenek over and hold one of his legs in the air as he continues to fuck him. Zdenek is feeling every thrust and emits some moaning sounds as he takes that massive dick. With his massive balls resting on his leg as he is being fucked Zdenek wanks his cock. Soon those big balls tighten and Zdenek shoots a nice big load of cum over his stomach as Radim fucks him deep and hard. But Radim isn't ready to cum yet and has Zdenek sit on his cock so he can fuck him some more. Zdenek leans forward and kisses Radim as his ass is filled with that dick. Very soon Radim fucks faster than every working himself up to a climax. Zdenek pulls of that cock and Radim quickly shoots his own load. Zdenek goes back down on Radim's cock for a final time and then kisses him to finish his screentest in very nice fashion.
We sent Rudy Bodlak out on the streets to see what he could find. He interviews some guys, to find out their views on doing sex for money, and to see if maybe they will go with him. He doesn't have much luck until he encounters Anton Malac, who after much discussion goes off with him. Rudy takes Anton in search of somewhere quiet so that he can get him to show his body. When they have found somewhere Anton is persuaded to drop his pants, for money. So we get to see him in his undies. After ensuring that he has the money in his hand Anton takes his undies down and shows a very nice cock. Rudy wants to push him further and suggests that maybe he be allowed to touch that cock. Anton eventually agrees, but tells him to be quick. Rudy feels that cock and begins to wank it, with no complaints. He then suggests that he kiss it. This he does, and begins to suck on Anton's cock, getting it nice and hard. After sucking a while he persuades Anton to reciprocate. Rudy's cock is nice and hard and Anton goes down on it, sucking the head into his mouth. He certainly sucks it well, making Rudy feel so good. Things are going very well so Rudy pushes for the final step. He wants to fuck Anton and has little problem persuading him. Rudy slides his dick into Anton's ass and fucks him nice and hard. Anton seems to be enjoying that cock and soon he is sitting on it and riding it, working his ass up and down over the shaft. Rudy is soon ready to blow his load and Anton opens his mouth to take that load and suck the cock dry. What a great scene, out in the open with both guys very good indeed.
Jan Sadecky is 18 years old and lives in Ostrava. He is a student who enjoys sport, fitness and basketball. Jna is such a good looking guy, with a very easy going personality. We have moved quickly and done several shoots with him already. This is his erotic video. He starts with his interview and then starts to feel himself, lifting his tee-shirt to reveal his body. He dips a hand into his jeans to feel his cock. Then Jan adjusts his postion and removes his tee-shirt and opens his jeans. He pulls out that nice big cock and begins to play with with. Soon it is rock hard and he removes his jeans, standing the cock up for all to see.Jan is very relaxed as he plays with his cock and he lifts his legs to show us his ass too. Wanking himself while his legs are in the air, pucker hole exposed, Jan looks great. He then uses his hands to spread the ass even further, before turning on his side, with his cock trapped between his legs. Next Jan gets onto his knees and pushes that ass back towards the camera. He really gives us a great showing of that hot, hairy hole before turning over and wanking himself to a big, creamy climax. Jan then smears the cum all over himself before going to the shower to clean up. What a lovely video, from a really good model.
Anton Vavro is aged 18 and lives in Dobris, where he works as a salesman. In his spare time he enjoys sports, particularly Thai-boxing. Anton is a great looking guy, with beautiful, dark eyes. As he gets naked, a bit at a time, we see his slim, firm body and then a lovely hooded cock. He wastes no time in showing a really nice ass, and a hot hole as well as that cock rock hard and ready for action. He looks great in this stills shoot and I will be sure to check out his erotic video when it comes online.
Jan Rakas is aged 22 and lives in Ceske Budjovice. He works as a car salesman and enjoys fitness, football and movies.
What a great looking guy Jan is, such a handsome face. He does his interview and then lays back to show his chest as he begins to play with his cock, in his jeans. It's not long before the jeans are open and a nice hard cock is on show. Jan wanks on his cock and we get a real good view of a nice shiny helmet as those beautiful eyes look into the camera. Then Jan lifts his legs and shows us a very nice, hairy ass. He spends some time making sure that we have a great view of his hole, before turning over and really spreading his cheeks. Up on his knees we see just how hairy that crack is and he spread the ass some more. When he deems we have seen enough Jan goes off for a well deserved shower.

WASHINGTON — Death rates from cancer continue to inch down, researchers reported Monday.
Now the question is how to hold onto those gains, and do even better, even as the population gets older and fatter, both risks for developing cancer.
Overall, deaths from cancer began slowly dropping in the 1990s, and Monday's report shows the trend holding. Among men, cancer death rates dropped by 1.8 percent a year between 2000 and 2009, and by 1.4 percent a year among women.
The drops are thanks mostly to gains against some of the leading types — lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers — because of treatment advances and better screening.
"There has been clear progress," said Dr. Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society, which compiled the annual cancer report with government and cancer advocacy groups.
But bad diets, lack of physical activity and obesity together wield "incredible forces against this decline in mortality," Brawley said. He warned that over the next decade, that trio could surpass tobacco as the leading cause of cancer in the U.S.
Deaths still are rising for certain cancer types including liver, pancreatic and, among men, melanoma, the most serious kind of skin cancer.

Start: Just before the India Venster trail turns the corner from Africa to Fountain ledge there is a left facing corner. The first pitch ascends the right edge on the clean arête.
Pitch 1 12m 16
Climb the arête to the top of the buttress.
Pitch 2 15m 20 or 22
Ahead is the next buttress.
Start on the right on blocks under the huge overhang. Climb up into the corner and rail right onto the arête and round it to easier ground and continue easily to the top; or rail back left and 1.5m above the lip of the overhang. Then step up onto the face and continue delicately to the top. A third variation is climb up to the higher rail 3m above the lip of the overhang and rail left to the white face and the climb to the top.
Pitches 3 to 5
Pitch 3 20m 21:
Step up on blocks to the rail on the right side of the arête and then do thin moves up to a good hold on the edge at about 4m. Place some pro including a half-in cam and an RP and a reasonably good rock 7 or 8 and then do a lie back move into an under cling to reach the next rail. Place protection on the left but swing round right on the arête to avoid the lichen covered rock on on the left. Attain the next rail, place high pro and again commit to the arête on the right edge to finish the pitch on exposed and airy moves. Stance on a good ledge.
Pitch 4 15m 20
Step round right and up onto the face on small holds to reach a thin rail. Continue up the arête to another large ledge.
Pitch 5 20m 22
Climb up to the obvious rail just right around from the main edge of the arête (see photo). Lay back up the right edge after placing a high micro-nut or RP and the step around to the right. Continue up a move and then back left into the crack and continue more easily to the bolted abseil point.
First ascent: January 2009
Pitches 3 to 5 Charles Edelstein and Tony Dick. Pitch 1 Robert Breyer and Charles Edelstein Pitch 2 Charles Edelstein
Start: The route is situated on Fountain Ledge and starts 20m below the start of Touch and Go. Scramble up from the path to the first proper rock face 20m below the steep overhanging break of Touch and Go. Walk right along the ledge for 10m to below a scooped undercut face just left of the Dassie Crawl. If you look up at 3m there is a thin under-cling slot that takes small Alien cams for pro. Taller dudes can place these cams by standing on blocks. Up left of the scooped face and left of a blunt arette at about 3.5m one can see a pillar box slot that invites gear placement and a hand hold.
Pitch 1 20m 23:
Step up onto the scooped face and tenuously – if you are short reach round to the pillar box slot. Place good small cams in the horizontal slot just to the left. Move up on thin holds to easier ground. Climb straight up to a ledge below the overhang. Lean back and see the fixed nut up and to the left.
Pitch 2 20m 23:
Move up to the higher, second rail above, and the traverse left 2m to below the fixed nut. Move up past the nut and then to easier ground that is a little run-out and scary but quite safe. Continue to the ledge Pitch 3 25m 21: Climb the grey face to a mantel onto a ledge. Climb straight up the left leaning crack to another ledge. Step right and up onto the undercut face and climb diagonally to the Touch and Go stance under the large overhang. Avoid drag with slings and climb through the Touch and Go roof to the right and step onto the face. Climb up slightly left for 3m and then stance on the Touch and Go stance.
Pitch 4 25m 25:
Start off the right edge of the Touch and Go Ledge step up to a good rail left of "Farewell to Arms" last pitch. Clip the fixed nut and test it if you dare and if it is still there. Climb to the rail under the overhang on thin crimps. Move left 4m to where the overhang peters out and climb up on brittle feeling flakes to the next rail. Rail back right to the fixed nut and pull onto the face above and continue straight up to the jumbo ledge. If the nut has been removed then pull onto the face level with the far left end of the Touch and Go ledge. (A more direct version shown in the photograph is in the offing but has yet to be freed at the time of writing.)
Descent: The abseil chains are 5m or so to the left and down 2m on the edge.
First ascent: 2008/9: Charles Edelstein,Tony Dick, Tini Versveld, Bruce Daniel, Adam Roff, Dave Vallet, Robert Breyer and Willem Le Roux were involved at various times. The acronym - Tired and Totally Wanked-ut Old Climbers - encompasses most of the participants who have an average age well in excess of 40 years of age!
First free ascent: Charles Edelstein 20 December 2008
Arms Race Direct 25
Skips the grade 18 scramble to the start of the real first pitch and instead extends the crux pitch by adding a hard, direct start. Below and slightly right of the grade 23 crux pitch is a leftward-trending, thin layback crack starting just above a small roof split by a vertical crack. Start 5m below this roof.
Pitch 1 20m 25:
Scramble up to the roof. Place a bomber wire just around the lip and some small gear a bit higher, then pull through and into the layback crack. Continue up and into the overhanging groove that forms the crux pitch of the original route.
Pitches 2 and 3:
Next two pitches the same as for the original Arms Race.
First ascent:
Douw Steyn and Willem le Roux, December 2010
La Vida 21
Start: The prominent feature of the Cobblestones Gendarme is the huge overhang and chamber beneath it. The left end of the huge overhang drops a plumbline to Fountain Ledge where La Vida starts up the clean arete.
Pitch 1 12m 18:
Use small vertical cracks slightly left of the arete to get established, then move onto the arete and head straight up to a ledge.
Scramble 10m to the right to a big clean ledge with two knee-high blocks on it. At this point you are looking up at a clean white wall just below and right of the chamber.
Pitch 2 17m 21:
Step off the larger block onto the wall and make cruxy lay aways to get to the horizontal crack that leads to the chamber. This is the "dassie ledge" used by Cobblestones. Head up and left on the steep headwall to reach a large ledge with a recess.
Pitch 3 10m 19:
From the back of the recess move up and left to get through the overhang using the first notch. French Connection continues left to use the second notch. Holy Mackerel heads up the large crack in the back of the recess. Once established on the face above head up directly to the next ledge to belay here. The section above leads to the top of a free-standing pillar which is avoided. Walk left around the corner and into the gap behind the pillar to belay on the big chockstone.
Pitch 4 8m 18:
Head up the clean arete on the left to a platform that is the top of the second free-standing pillar.
Pitch 5 30m 20:
Step across onto the face to gain the block on the left. Head up and left on the steep white wall. Move left below the expanding flakes to avoid them. Move up to gain the steep grey face. Head slightly right and up to the top of the wall. NOTE: The original ascent climbed the expanding flakes at grade 22. This variation is not recommended due the fact that gear and handholds are reliant on the creaking flakes.
Scramble to the top or traverse 100m left to the Magnetic Wall abseil station.
First ascent: Bruce Daniel and Hilton Davies March 2009
Sweet Dreams 22 and Wet Dream 22+
Start: The prominent feature of the Cobblestones Gendarme is the huge overhang and chamber beneath it. The left end of the huge overhang drops a plumbline to Fountain Ledge where La Vida (and Sweet Dreams) starts up the clean arete.
Pitch 1 12m 19:
Use small vertical cracks slightly left of the arete to get established, then move onto the arete and head straight up to a ledge. Cobblestone Chamber is up on the right
Pitch 2 17m 21:
Climb the short face above to a ledge and continue up the arete-which is under-protected - to a recess. (A grey Alien or equivalent Metolius master cam is critical placed in a slot on the right). The arete start can be avoided by walking left 3m and the climbing the under-clings up and right to reach the recess. Continue up to the jumbo ledge above at the base of "The Dream" and "Last Tango". Walk left 7m.
Pitch 3 10m 21:
Start as for Last Tango and do the crux. Continue up the easier ground diagonally left heading for the right facing corner. Traverse right at the base of the corner to do a lay back move into the deep recess at the end of "The Dream" first pitch. Move right by railing on the outside or dassie crawl to the stance at the start of the second pitch of "The Dream".
Pitch 4 30m 22 or 22+:
Climb the second pitch of "The Dream".
Or climb straight through the roof on REM and higher up pull through the overlap 2m left of the crux of the dream.
Pitch 5 20m 14 or 22X:
Move Left 3m and climb the easy arete (or climb directly up the unprotected face for 5m) to scrambling ground and stance on a ledge system that takes you to the abseil chains or to the top out pitch.
Pitch 6 20m 18:
Move 15m left on the ledge system under the overhang to an obvious break in the roof. Climb this starting with a strenuous cranking to easier ground and continue to the top; or traverse 60m left to the Magnetic Wall abseil station.
First ascent: Charles Edelstein and Robert Breyer 21 July 2010
Roulette Arête 25, A2
Start: At the extreme left end of Upper Fountain Ledge where one goes around the bulge to get to the start of Jacob's Ladder.
Pitch 1 20m 25:
Climb the middle of the Roulette wall heading directly up and into the overhanging peapod. On the first rail head out left then up to the Roulette platform to stance.
Pitch 2 10m A2:
Step up onto the ledge at the start of the Roulette overhanging crack and head up then out left on the very overhanging white wall. Use smallest cams for aiding until reaching the end of the seam. Place a no.4 cam then using micro nuts, RPs and bat hooks, struggle up onto the headwall to free climb up to a stance in the rail.
Pitch 3 35m 19:
Head directly up. The route follows the proudest bulge on chicken heads and edges. Place gear when available. Not much to be had.
First ascent: Hilton Davies and Guy Paterson-Jones 22 April 2012
The Squid and the Whale (31) (original line) *****
One of the harder routes on the Ledge.Sustained and a touch exciting.
Start: Start on the staircase ledge about 5 meters to the right of the arête between Jeopardy and Jacobs ladder.
Pitch 1 40m (31):
Scramble up the large layback seam for about 10 meters to a ledge. Climb up the centre of the overhanging face through a series of small roofs to the Roulette rail. Plenty of smallish cams are useful to protect this bottom section. Resisting the temptation to sit on the Roulette ledge, rail right 2 meters and gain the next rail using the vertical crack. From this position, pull straight through the next little roof via difficult moves to establish in some underclings. Climb past a peg and move diagonally left past the crux of Jeopardy to 2 more pegs and the Hook rail (the end of Jeopardy). Lace the rail with cams and climb the blunt arête. Pull straight through the next roof and exit out left onto jugs on the headwall.
Pitch 2:
Figure out a cunning way to get down and to retrieve your gear or join the final pitch of Roulette.
First ascent: J. Smith Feb 2013
The Squid and the Whale (31) (direct)
Climb the Squid and the Whale to the Roulette ledge. From here, rail right for a meter, pull through the roof and climb directly up the face just right of the main arete to join the original line at the hook rail.
First ascent: J. Smith Dec 2013
The King Slayer (26/27?)
As in Jamie the King Slayer, a television character. Committing but really fun moves up an amazing feature.
Start: as for The Squid and the Whale.
Pitch 1 25m? (26/27?):
Scramble up easy climbing to a ledge. Do a couple of moves of The Squid to the first rail which establishes you under the main arête of the Jeopardy wall. Place bomber gear then do a few boulder moves up the arête to the Roulette ledge. Tend slightly right of the arête for the last couple of moves. Might be harder and a little scary to onsight. To get off the ledge, climb up another route or join Jacobs Ladder and carefully scramble down (16ish).
First ascent: J. Smith Nov 2013
Triple Jeopardy (31) *****
Start: as for Roulette arete.
Pitch 1 40m? (31):
The obvious line straight up the centre of the Jeopardy wall. This route is a link up of the first pitch of Roulette Arête, the crux of The Squid and the Whale and the second half of Double Jeopardy. Follow the crack up the centre of the lower wall until it ends at the highest rail. Summon a modicum of strength to pull over the lip and establish on two underclings. Clip the peg to your right and continue straight up the wall till you bang your head on the roof at the top. Turn left and head for the sunset. Probably the easiest of the 31s on this wall.
First ascent: J. Smith Nov 2013
The Last of the Mohawks (31/32) *****
Start: As for The Squid and the Whale
Pitch 1 40m (31/32):
Scramble up to the ledge just left of the large blocks. Climb up the center of the overhanging face tending rightwards past the 2nd peg of Jeopardy and up to the Roulette rail. Pull through the Roulette rail crux and straight through the next roof to establish on the headwall. Climb straight up to the Hook rail. Pull through the small roof about a meter left of the Captain Hook corner and climb diagonally on underclings to join Double Jeopardy. Rail left as for Double Jeopardy to finish on the headwall.
First ascent: J. Smith April 2013
Phantom Squeeze 25 R/X
A direct, sustained and rather committing route.
Start in the middle of the blank face between the start of Boltergeist and the arete of Don't Squeeze I'll Laugh
Pitch 1 23R/X 15m:
Use a rail at belly height to access the face. Now you head straight up for 15m on small flakes and edges. Your first good piece is about ten metres up, so bring a helmet. Stance on a good ledge directly below a steep dihedral, which is on the same level as the Finale traverse.
Pitch 2 25 20m
Head for the overhanging dihedral feature. Climb through this to gain the Boltergeist traverse rail. Step 2m right and pull through the far right hand side of the roof on small edges, and tend left to establish on the face. Now head leftwards under the next roof and break through using a large undercling on its left hand side. Continue to the Staircase Ledge.
Pitch 3 24R 20m
To the right of the abseil anchors is a detached block/flake from which climbers used to abseil. Climb to the top of the block/flake and continue straight up the clean white face on small holds. This pitch is situated between the last pitches of Boltergeist and Staircase. Apart from sharing the block at the start with Escalator, it is an independent pitch.
FA Joe Möhle and Richard Halsey Jan 2013
Fountain Fandango 21
Start: The route is situated on Fountain Ridge which is below Fountain Ledge and above Camps Bay. To get to the route either ascend the long ridge from the Pipe Track above Camps Bay at up to grade 16, else abseil in from the Lower Fountain Ledge, else traverse in from Kloof Corner. The prominent feature of the ridge is the enormous roof - visible from Camps Bay beach. The first pitch starts directly below this roof.
Pitch 1 15m 18:
From a ledge directly below the huge roof move up the obvious break in the middle of the wall. Head up and slightly left to reach a small stance a couple of metres below the roof.
Pitch 2 35m 21:
Head left and up to reach the rail at the roof. Move left to the notch that breaks through the overhang. Using good rails hang out and move up to a difficult flaring hand-jam slot. Move a couple of metres up the wall then start heading up diagonally to the right on rails and small holds. Head for the corner up on the right. Use a crack in the right of the corner to reach a small platform. Head up to a ledge.
Pitch 3 35m 16:
Head left and up to reach Lower Fountain Ledge.
First ascent: Bruce Daniel and Hilton Davies 20 February 2009

This article Based on work by andre. Originally by andre.
- 1 Macintosh related configuration
- 1.1 netatalk
- 1.2 mDNSresponder (Bonjour, ZeroConf, Rendezvous, ...)
- 1.3 Serving iTunes contents with mt-daapd (also for Windows)
- 1.4 rsync on Tiger
A recent version of netatalk primarily enables long file names on Linkstation Mac shares. There's more to it of course, check out http://www.afp548.com/ and http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/.
Debian stable binaries, configuration samples
Debian Sarge ships with the outdated netatalk 2.0.2, which wouldn't be too problematic if it wasn't missing a feature, uams_dhx, a secure authentification mechanism (which is still missing in Testing, by the way). Here's how to get and set up an improved Debian package.
apt-get install cracklib-runtime libpam-cracklib netatalk /etc/init.d/netatalk stop
EDIT: Download the netatalk powerpc package from http://packages.debian.org/etch/netatalk and install it:
dpkg -i netatalk_*powerpc.deb
You might see unresolved depencies and recommendations, apt-get install each of them, until dpkg -i is satisfied.
EDIT: Debian has finally cought up, Etch users won't benefit from my package, but maybe from my setup. -andre
Here's a sample /etc/default/netatalk, for AFP-only connections (which is what most people want), and moderate load on the system:
AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS=10 ATALK_NAME=`/bin/hostname` ATALK_MAC_CHARSET='MAC_ROMAN' ATALK_UNIX_CHARSET='LOCALE' AFPD_UAMLIST="-U uams_dhx.so" AFPD_GUEST=nobody ATALKD_RUN=no PAPD_RUN=no CNID_METAD_RUN=yes AFPD_RUN=yes TIMELORD_RUN=no A2BOOT_RUN=no ATALK_BGROUND=yes export ATALK_MAC_CHARSET export ATALK_UNIX_CHARSET
The only uncommented line in /etc/netatalk/afpd.conf reads:
- -transall -uamlist uams_dhx.so -nosavepassword -noddp
A typical share in /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.default looks like this (there's an explanation in this file):
/mnt/shared "shared" allow:user1,user2,user3 rwlist:user1,user2,user3
user1, user2, and user3 must exist on your system, use "adduser user1" etc. if they don't exist yet. Don't forget to adjust the permissions on the shared directory and files, so they can be accessed by the users you defined.
When all this is done, run
/etc/init.d/netatalk start
It will take a minute or two until everything is started up.
To connect to /mnt/shared/ on server LS from your Mac, go to "Finder | Go | Connect To Server | afp://LS". Note everything is case sensitive! user1 is not User1!
Please refer to http://forum.nas-central.org/index.php?action=vthread&forum=7&topic=1152, also check out the given configuration samples.
mDNSresponder (Bonjour, ZeroConf, Rendezvous, ...)
Browse your LinkStation services from the Mac.
Although http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/ is no longer available, Linkstation PPC binaries still are (source available on request; or from http://www.porchdogsoft.com/download/howl-1.0.0.tar.gz).
wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/howl_1.0.0-binaries-ppc.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf howl_1.0.0-binaries-ppc.tar.gz
Then edit /etc/howl/mDNSresponder to your needs. Note: If you also run mt-daapd (see below), keep the hash (#) character preceding the daap line.
When done,
/etc/init.d/howl start
Serving iTunes contents with mt-daapd (also for Windows)
For information on Apple iTunes, visit http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
You could share your iTunes contents by moving your iTunes library to an AFP network share (cf. netatalk). Or you could set up a streaming server like Firefly Media Server (formerly mt-daapd), as described below. Your Linkstation share will show up in iTunes (Mac or Windows) as another library.

rsync on Tiger
An improved version of rsync can be found at http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/rsync/.
Be sure to either add "insecure" to your share definitions in /etc/exports, or include "-P" (Tiger) resp. "resvport" (Leopard) in the mount options on the Mac OS X client.
Refer to MacTechNotes: Mac OS X as an NFS Client for instructions on mounting an NFS share on your Mac OS X Tiger client.
"Hard" Mounts
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
into /etc/rc.local and also run the command once
Group write permissions
To set the permissions globally, run
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder umask -int 2
sudo chmod +r /Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
For the current user only, use
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder umask -int 2
Useful with NFS.
Refer to W. G. Scott's NFS on OS X 10.5.
In order to use Leopard's automounter with the LS (192.168.11.150, directory /mnt/shared, hard mount), add the following to /etc/fstab:
192.168.11.150:/mnt/shared /mnt/shared nfs locallocks,tcp,sync,resvport,bg,intr,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 0 0
The "locallocks" directive is a workaround for the buggy NFS locking in Mac OS X 10.5.2; you need it (at least) with iTunes. Avoid it when you can.
Create the mount directory
mkdir /mnt
put a link to it on your Desktop for easy access
ln -s /mnt ~/Desktop/
restart the automounter
automount -vc
make your life easier right from the start by running
find /mnt/shared -type f -name '._DS_Store' -name '.DS_Store' -print -exec rm {} ;\
and disable the creation of .DS_Store files on network volumes, for example with the Mac freeware TinkerTool, before you access it in the Finder.
To learn more, please refer to
man 8 mount_nfs man 5 fstab

Posted on February 12, 2010
So somebody asked me why a book dealer was asking her about plates. "Are they all as loony as you, selling bowls and stuff?"
I was trained in library school to look within the words of a question and detect what the real question is. This person did not really want to talk about me, oddly enough, or even about the psychiatric disorders of those who work with books.
"A plate is an illustration," I said, "Usually a picture printed on a page without text, and on a different kind of paper. He was asking whether your book had all the illustrations."
She pursed her lips. "Then why didn't he just say 'picture'? Why plate?"
"It's one of the mysteries of the universe," I said, not wanting to point out that if we call it a plate we can charge more. Anyway, I thought I might list a few other words you could run into in a book description, so you, too, can use this insider jargon, or at least figure out what you're paying your money for.
FRONTISPIECE: That's the first picture in the book, usually, hence the "front" part of the word. It faces the title page in any well-arranged book, though it can be found in other places. (In books where pictures are printed on only one side of the page, this is the only picture that faces right, toward the back of the book. This fact is of no significance whatsoever.)
SIGNED/INSCRIBED: A book which is described as signed usually has the signature of the author in it, and nothing else (maybe a date.) A book described as inscribed has a brief message "To Georgie; remember that night at 26th and California." Modern book wisdom says the inscribed copy is worth less than the signed one. Modern book wisdom is funny in other ways, too. (Thanks to computers, you can hunt for signed books online and find books described as having an "owner's signature" or "gift inscription". Unless the owner was Abraham Lincoln or Al Capone, this adds not a jot to the value of the book.)
EX-LIB: This does NOT mean, as I once saw in a book collecting guide "a book which used to be in somebody's library". It means more than that. This book was in an institutional library and often "bears usual markings", which in bookdealer talk means it has a label taped, glued, or burned into the spine, the name of the library rubber-stamped in six or seven places, a library pocket or space where the pocket was ripped away. See next entry.
READING COPY, INTERNALLY OKAY, FILLER COPY: These are all terms for a book most book collectors would not take even as a gift. It's the copy you buy only if you're desperate to read the contents. It is torn or burned or scribbled on or moldy or missing its cover or coming apart or any combination thereof. Most book dealers I know would never, ever list such a book for sale (but in that case, why do they even have these terms?)
That's enough to go on for now. It's a complex lingo, but what can you expect in a business where plates are pictures and good is bad? ("Good" is about the lowest grade of book you can get, a bare half step above "Fair". If you want a book in nice shape, go for "Fine" or "Near Mint". The word "Mint" should be reserved for those books which have been covered in chocolate.)
