Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano announced the establishment of a public-private partnership on Tuesday between the county and Bruce Ratner, the chairman and CEO of Forest City Ratner Companies, to establish a plan to reinvent the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale.
Mangano, who was joined by Ratner and New York Islanders owner Charles Wang at the County Legislative Building in Mineola, said that a "Strategic Reuse Plan" will be created within the first half of 2013.
The goal, the county executive said, is to "build the roadmap so the Coliseum is positioned to compete for concerts, family shows and expositions, as well as professional and collegiate sports, preseason games and similar programs that generate the type of economic activity that will work at the Hub."
Ratner is the developer and majority owner of the newly built Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In October, Wang signed a 25-year-lease for the Islanders to leave Nassau County and play their home games at the Barclays Center, beginning in 2015.
But Ratner, with the help of Wang, said his company would assemble a plan that will consider fan experience, marketing, concessions, programs and the physical structure of the 42-year-old Coliseum. "In Brooklyn, we've been able to put together a program and an arena that everybody feels is incredibly positive," said Ratner. "Our goal is to put together something here which everybody will be very proud of."
He did not say whether his company would oversee any rebuilding or renovations. "All we're doing is the study," Ratner said. "What happens afterwards will be up to the county executive."
"This is an inclusive process," added Mangano, "and the best plan — with the best people at the helm of that plan — will go forward."
In conjunction, Mangano selected a master developer team, comprised of developers, planners and architects, and led by Renaissance Downtowns, to coordinate the development of the 77-acre Coliseum site. "I believe we can work within the zoning framework recently adopted by the Town of Hempstead," said Don Monti, the president of Renaissance Downtowns, who added that with a formation of a plan, "We think we have the ability to break ground in 2013."

Hi gabev; The new forum was sending me notices, but now it's stopped.
The web page about Knoppix looks interesting, it looked like a really modified setup.
So Puppy-2.x.x versions will work good for PupServers? Great!
Your error sounds exactly like the one I'm getting on the new build of it.
The file: /var/log/messages said that libwrap had refused connection from the client.
I haven't figured out just what the difference was between the old & new versions.
The sound from YouTube shouldn't be messed up, I've played movies over the LAN.
But YouTube connects to the web, so maybe that's the problem.
Try putting one of the YouTube songs into the PupServer's /docs share dir. & play it (if you can).
Or try playing some Mp3s in the /docs share, that's where I had the media files.
Booting over a WAN should be possable but slow, & if there were lots of clients...

in smb.conf I commented out the following lines:
#hosts allow = 192.168.1.253
#hosts deny = ALL
and after that it worked. I understand that is not secure but at least I had the opportunity to experiment and see how it works.
I believe that #hosts allow shoud be a range instead of a single ip.

Also , if you look into the description of the smb.conf here :
we can see that
" hosts allow = 192.168.1.4 127.0.0.1
The option hosts allow specifies which hosts are permitted to access a Samba service. By default, we allow hosts from IP class C 192.168.1.4 and our localhost 127.0.0.1 to access the Samba server. Note that the localhost must always be set or you will receive some error messages. '
hope that helps

hi sunburnt,
a question of topic:
I loaded Simplepup0.3.1 on a 1 GB USB flash drive and so far I couldnt boot it.I've tried puppy211 and it loaded just fine but I run out of memory (I got 128MB RAM on a thin client).On a previous post u asked how to control the loading of squash files and "save files".Did anybody answer that?
Should I create a swap file on the USB on a different partition?
Or maybe I should try a different version of puppy which runs good of an USB?
Need your advice.

gabev: I had the same problem, Dougal & I discussed it in another post.
I had to solve my problem by modifing the boot code (not easy to do).
Puppy2 ONLY has the boot control argument of: PMEDIA=usbflash
Puppy211 should work in 128mb of memory I think... (I don't use any Puppy2.x.x).
ATTENTION: You DO NOT want to use ANY Flash device for a swap partition or file!
The CPU constantly writes to the swap partition/file & will WEAR the USB OUT!
There's an app. that's a network protocol for swapping over the network.
When I finish LanPuppy I'll look into it more.
For the moment LanPuppy's need 64mb to 128mb of memory.

hi Sunburnt,
I did finally installed the DSL linux on the usb stick and I'm pleased by the performance , faster than all 2.x.x versions of puppy that i've tried so far.But I still wanna try a puppy version which is built around 2.4.x kernel.
Anyway on the same thin client machine (128MB RAM) when I boot using LanPuppy everything runs really fast.
hows your beta version doing?

Hey gabev; Not bad, but I'm still having boot trouble I just can't get fixed.
LanPuppy need 3 config. files to be set right:
dhcpd.conf ----- Gives the client PC it's IP add.
xinet.conf ------ Gives the client PC vmlinuz & image.gz
smb.conf ------ Gives the client PC a SMB share with usr_cram.fs in it
The client gets its IP add. & then fails trying to tftp vmlinuz & image.gz
xinet.conf is exactly the same file I used for the first LanPuppy.
So I know it's a good file & further more nothing in it needs to be changed.
Yet my messages file reports that libwrap(xinet) refused the client's connection.
At least LanPuppy's Users & Hosts admin. dialogs are done & look to be working.
I think it'll work, if I can just get it to boot...
Then desktop setup, testing, & then remaster both PupServer & LanPuppy.

I'll do tommorrow a diging into my error files to see if I had previously the same problems.I remmember I turned off the allow hosts rules in samba cfg and my thin client was able to boot from the pupserver.
I will post the environment plus the errors on different configurations maybe you can compare with yours errors.

Success! I thought about what you said & realized Xinet uses /etc/hosts.allow & hosts.deny.
In the new server build I didn't sync those files, now it goes straight through!
Then I got a wonderful string of errors that I'm now working on...
But at least now development can continue as before.
gabev; I don't know why your smb.conf file is different, here's the correct lines:
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
hosts deny = ALL
NOTE the space between: "192.168.1." & "127."
You had said that yours read:
#hosts allow = 192.168.1.253
#hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = ("192.168.1." has to be correct for your network) ("127." is eth0 loop back device).
This is the Samba security barrier, so it's REALLY IMPORTANT !

Well, congrats !!!
Like you had all kinda errors and after I remove those 2 lines I was able to connect .I know is a security risk to run it like that , but I did it just for testing pleasure, to see how it runs .
Since then I was trying to start simplePup from a USB stick but with no luck and jump to DSL which I preffer because has an excellent autoconfiguration script .Now I'm trying to make mydsl as small as possible , but didnt start yet .
LanPuppy is an excellent aplication which can be used in a office environment very well. Beats Windows by miles.

hi sunburnt,
I saw your post regarding the integration of LanPuppy with 109CE .Especially regarding networking & wireless auto config. at first boot.This is a feature of DSL for which I left Puppy linux in the background.but with dsl I have another problem, it doesnt have a latest Sylpheed version nor Claws mail and when I tried to compile it I run into dependencies problems ...Puppy linux is really very fast ,especially the ones which are built on 2.4.x kernel.The main functions I need are the autoconfig for the network (like dsl) and an email client which can autoexecute a command when new email arrives ( like Sylpheed 2.X.X or Claws-mail).So far didnt have any luck.....

Yep, Knoppix has the best hardware detection & setup thanks to Klaus Knopper.
DSL was the first small distro. I tried, but it lacked so very much that I abandon it.
Hummm... How about a Debian based distro. with SquashFS instead of CloopFS?
Then most of the Knoppix auto. boot scripts would work for it!
Auto. NIC & networking setup is easy enough, I don't know why Puppy doesn't do it.
Puppy-2 has problems with having to setup WIFI on every boot... it seems.
I would think auto. WIFI setup wouldn't be much of a problem either.
All you do is click a button or two to do it, auto. setup should be easy.
There doesn't seem to be hardly any interest at all in Puppy 110.
So I'm guessing that Puppy-1 will be all but dead by the start of 2007.
It's a shame because of all the work that's been done in it's behalf.
Lots of folks effort & many many packages that will go into the trash bin.

Subject description: PXE, BOOTP, Network Boot, LANpuppy
I am very interested in LANpuppy and will try to promote it if I can get it working.
I have to jump through a few wxtra hoops cause I am trying to get it working at work. (not for my work though).
I am running tftp from my M$ XP workstation. I modified my corprate dhcp to point to it for boot.
I can't get a PC to load you boot img though. and if I try to edit it my apps crash.
I'll keep working on it and see if I can get it to work at home more like you originaly intended.

Nathaniel Chalobah will remain on loan at Watford until the end of the season.
Confirmation the 18-year-old, who has an enjoyed an impressive first half of the season for the Hornets, is not a surprise after Gianfranco Zola told the Watford Observer on Monday that "it looks like" the midfielder would stay at Vicarage Road for the remainder of the campaign.
The paperwork has now been completed and the England Under-21 player is also available to play for Watford in their FA Cup third round tie at Manchester City on Saturday.
Zola told Watford's official website: "It's great news for us. He has become an important player for us since he came to the club.
"His performances have been getting better and better so we are delighted Chelsea have decided to leave him here.
"It's good for Nathaniel and it's also good for Chelsea because he is getting a lot of benefit from this experience.
"It is a huge boost because if we want to keep improving and chasing the teams in front of us we need to have good players and Nathaniel is one of them."

These lines of evidence suggest a need to elucidate whether additive use of ARB is beneficial or not in the general practice of hypertensive chronic heart failure (CHF) patients treated with ACE inhibitors and/or β-blockers. In the supplemental benefit of ARB in hypertensive patients with stable heart failure using olmesartan (SUPPORT) trial, we thus aimed to examine whether a supplemental use of olmesartan provides beneficial impacts in patients with a broad spectrum of HF, who are treated with conventional therapies, namely with ACE inhibitors and/or β-blockers. 11
The SUPPORT trial was a prospective, randomized, open-label blinded endpoint study, 11 which was conducted according to the ethical principles described in Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the institutional ethics committees of the 17 participating institutions in the Tohoku District of Japan (Appendix). The primary objective of the study was to examine whether an additive treatment with an ARB, olmesartan, reduces the mortality and morbidity of hypertensive patients with stable CHF (NCT00417222). The inclusion criteria were designed to enroll hypertensive patients aged 20–79 with symptomatic CHF but in stable condition and were treated with ACE inhibitors and/or β-blockers, while the exclusion criteria were designed to exclude patients with substantive confounding medical conditions or an inability to meaningfully participate in the SUPPORT trial ( Table 1 ). Finally, a total of 1147 symptomatic CHF patients with a history of hypertension who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and gave written informed consent for the trial were assigned to either the olmesartan or the control group according to a 1 : 1 ratio of olmesartan to control, through stratification by participating institute, sex and age between October 2006 and March 2010. The patients were followed up until the study ended on 31 March 2013 ( Figure 1 ). If contact could not be made at the end of the study, data of these patients were censored at the date when they were known to be alive last. Olmesartan was initiated at a dose of 5–10 mg/day, and then up titrated to 40 mg/day, if tolerable, in the olmesartan group, while no ARB use was allowed in the control group. The diagnosis of HF was made based on the criteria of the Framingham study 12 by an attending physician at each hospital. All physicians were encouraged to control blood pressure of the patients in each group according to the recommendations in the JNC7. 13 The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and worsening HF requiring hospitalization, while secondary endpoints consisted of the modes of death, hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons, surrogate markers for HF and development of cardiovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and renal dysfunction (see Supplementary material online, Table S1 ) .

In response to "Board majority favors tax hike" to fund pensions, I polled approximately 80 people at work as to how much they spend weekly on booze and cigarettes. Not a single person answered close to $85. Where did Butler School Board member Helene Abramowitz obtain her figures?
I have been employed with the same company since 1989. My pension plan was frozen several years ago. My company realized people were living longer — they could not remain profitable if they had to pay pensions to their future retirees.
This is not rocket science, it's common sense. The school board (and the teacher unions) don't seem able to figure this out. They continue to raise taxes year after year. They have decreased staff (which negatively affects our kids) and still increase our taxes to fund the pension system.
A better way to fund public schools would be a sales tax. Everyone would be contributing, not just the homeowners. People who spend less (poor and retired) would contribute less. People who spend more would contribute more.

Nānkhatāi - Diwali - Pink Saturday
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...All of today's pictures are linked to Diwali, the Hindu holiday that celebrates the return of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity. The holiday is much like our Christmas with odd bits of Independence Day and Halloween thrown in. Please understand, I mean no disrespect. Lanterns are lit, families gather and gifts are exchanged during this joyous celebration of light. Firecrackers are used to frighten away evil spirits that might threaten the return of the goddess and children go door to door seeking a reward for the entertainment they provide. The cookie, called a Nānkhatāi, is an eggless shortbread that has a sandy texture. It is sold during the holiday by street vendors who specialize in sweetmeats and other treats. The pigeon is another story. The bird is not a mutant. He is one of many that have been tinted for Diwali. Why? I'm clueless and have been unable to find anyone who can give me a sensible answer. The design being created on the street outside the fence is called a rangoli and it's meant to welcome visiting deities. It, and thousands like it in other Hindu homes, will be lit at night with myriad small lanterns that will give streets the appearance of being swarmed by fireflies or glow worms. It is quite a sight. While I was able to sample most of the foods associated with Diwali, I missed these cookies and wanted to try them once I returned home. I made them today and I must say I'm not thrilled with the results. The cookie is fine, but, with so much good shortbread around, it merits only a lukewarm review. I decided to post it with reservations because it is a Indian dessert and I wanted to conclude my tour of India with something sweet. I'll let you be the judge of its merits. Here's the recipe.
Nānkhatāis...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Culinary Annonations
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup refrigerated ghee (clarified butter) or unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (maida)
1/2 cup semolina flour (rava)
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom [or 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg]
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons chopped nuts for topping
1) Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
2) Sift confectioners' sugar into a mixing bowl. Add refrigerated ghee/butter and cream mixture until fluffy. Add vanilla and mix to incorporate.
3) Sift flour, semolina and baking powder into another bowl. Whisk in cardomom. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture in two parts. Once a cookie dough forms, transfer it to a cold working surface and knead a few times. Break dough into 20 equal-sized portions and shape into flattened rounds. Make a thumb impression in center of each and press in a few pieces of nuts.
4) Bake cookies for about 20 to 25 minutes. Check at 20 minute interval to ensure that cookies do not brown or develop any deep color. Be aware that these cookies will crack slightly. That is as it should be. Cool on wire racks. Store airtight. Yield: 18 to 20 cookies.

Well, even if they aren't the greatest, the cookies look really good in the picture! So the bird is dyed, I wonder if this kills or makes it sick later? Lakshmi, that is Padma from Top Chef's last name!

I doubt I'd ever make them, but they certainly LOOK great! Living in West London, we have a massive Indian and Pakistani population so Diwali is celebrated big style. Plus we have Bonfire Night (it was the same day this year) so as you can imagine, the fireworks were something out of this world! We were hanging out the window for hours, looking up at the sky.
How fabulous to have Been There - I've always wanted to visit.
Happy Pink Saturday!

The dyed pigeon makes a striking photograph. It brings to mind little dyed chicks that used to, and maybe still do, abound here at Easter. I think I'll just keep to my shortbread recipe. In fact, I wish I had some to go with my coffee and interesting visit with you this morning.

When I was a child, I remember they dyed baby chicks different colors for Easter. Makes me cringe when I think about it.
Liked hearing about the Hindu holiday, Mary, and the cookies. I've never baked with semolina flour; wonder if I'd like that texture. Was it then flavor or texture you didn't care for?

I love the flavours of cardamom and nutmeg. These cookies sound a little bit like a Lebanese cookie called mamoul that is often stuffed with date.

I have never heard of this cookie before. I have made polenta cookies similar to shortread and they are really addictive, but not short. I add little bit of golden syrup for extra crunch and flavour. You say your cookies were not short. I am wondering whether its because of butter. Ghee is 100% fat and butter is 80% fat, 20% butter.

My parents live in Bangalore, India where they're working as missionaries for three years and in the 14 months they've been there they've traveled to Nepal, Dehli, Mombai, Chennai, Vizak, Hyderabad, Goa, Sri Lanka, Coimbature, Rajahmundry and dozens of other places in between--they're hardly ever in one city for more than a few days.
We talk regularly and exchange letters and they're always sending me pictures of the amazing things they see.
Last week Dad sent me 59 pictures which I've whittled down to fifteen before presenting them to you along with descriptions in his own words (and one or two editorial comments of my own sneaked in here and there in brackets). So say hello to my Dad . . .
1. Snake Charmers. Yes there really are snake charmers in India. I hear they defang these cobras for safety purposes. I have no interest in getting close enough to a cobra to check if they still have fangs are not. Just like a gun, all cobras should be treated like they are loaded.
2. Power Wires. We have a lot of power outages and brown outs [I can only assume that's the Indian version of a "black out"?] Sometimes the power will go out over a couple of dozen times in a day. Maybe this picture explains some of the problem.
3. Waiting Hospitals and Funeral Pyres. This is one of the more amazing sights I have seen. Along the banks of this sacred river in Kathmandu (the same thing happens in India) there is a "waiting hospital" where dying persons are brought by their relatives or friends to die. As they expire their bodies are prepared and placed on these concrete altars built out on the river. A wooden pyre is built, the wrapped bodies are placed on the pyre and lit. It doesn't take long to consume everything--these men know what they are doing--and the ashes are swept into the river before the next body is brought out. This goes on all day.
4. Holy Men. This is a Hindu Holy Man. However, if you try to take his picture he has a high opinion of what it will cost you to take that picture. He seems to have no other means of support.
5. Indian School Children. I love taking pictures of Indian children, particularly in their school uniforms. They are gorgeous.
Even the Muslim girls wanted to get in the act. All but one even dropped their veils. I wonder what their fathers would have thought? After the photo the remaining holdout finally dropped her veil too after some peer pressure from the others.
6. Men Hanging by Their Skin. Some young Hindu men show their religious devotion by piercing their skin with steel hooks and then allowing themselves to be suspended in the air. They are then put in a parade and displayed. This photos was taken in Colombo, Sri Lanka but the young men are Tamils from Tamil Nadu in Southern India. This type of thing, along with walking on hot coals and piercing cheeks with long steel pins, is common.
7. The Homeless. Many people in India live on the streets or in makeshift shelters composed of scrape material they have scavenged. Particularly popular is the omnipresent "blue tarps" so popular in Alaska. This man had simply gone to sleep on this concrete wall. Sleeping on concrete or hard surfaces is common in India--most Indian beds are about as hard as concrete anyway. [Notice how he slipped off his flip flops before lying down?]
8. Carrying Loads on Your Head. Seeing something carried on the head happens frequently and you see many more women carrying loads on their heads than men. It is remarkable what they can carry and for such long distances. I have seen loads that obviously weighed more than the woman who was carrying them and I haven't been able to figure out how she got the load up there in the first place. In the countryside the women are often carrying sticks and branches for cooking fires which are often longer than they are tall and obviously weigh more.
9. Beautiful Faces. The young women of India are generally very beautiful. I have never been anywhere where there so many pretty young women and the young men are equally handsome. You see marvelous, wonderful "National Geographic" faces wherever you go. This woman was reported to be over 100 years old. [I think she's beautiful too--like someone's favorite grandmother].
10. Street Sweepers. Six days a week from 6:00 am until about 11:00 am there is an army of women street sweepers on the streets of most large Indian cities, often in horrific traffic. They all use these brooms that require them to bend over in a terribly awkward and tiring position. They make 100 rupees a day or about $2.50 and they are always working--you never see them resting.
11. Monkeys Everywhere. The only thing I hate more than monkeys are snakes and monkeys are everywhere in India. They are nasty, dirty, aggressive and will bite you if given any chance to do so which can be bad as they carry disease. We had a senior woman missionary who had a monkey take her keys out of her purse while she was walking on the streets of Bangalore. [Sounds like she's lucky he didn't nip her ear off].
12. Green Coconut Snacks. Green coconuts are very popular, these street vendors are everywhere and a green coconut costs about 12 rupees. The vendor cuts off the top and sticks a straw into the coconut and hands it to you. Because the coconut is green, the milk is clear. I'm not sure why they are so popular--it's an acquired taste.
13. Bollywood Movies. Bollywood and its influence are everywhere. Movies are immensely popular and billboards are ubiquitous. This is a shot from a Bollywood movie being filmed on location in Hyderabad.
14. Elephants for Riding. Elephants are common in India, both domesticated and in the wild--no one should come to India without riding one. Of course if you are going to offer rides on an elephant you'll need to set up an Elephant Booking Office.
15. Amazing Motorcycles. On motorcycles the women often sit sidesaddle on the back and once I saw a mother with twin babies, about six months old, in each arm. She was not hanging onto anything and the babies were fast asleep. It is quite common to see the children asleep on the cycles with their parents. Once I saw a motorcycle with three live goats balanced on it and on two occasions I've seen full length mirrors being transported this way.

The clinic is run by MBGSL president and Mission Bay High School softball head coach Jimmy Ross and players from the Mission Bay High School softball team.
"We want to promote softball and build it back up in Pacific Beach after it fell off the map a few years ago," Ross said.
According to Tom Paull, a former Mission Bay Little League and Mission Bay High School Buccaneer player from 1973-1980, the league almost shut down after the 2012 season because it fell shy of the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) rules that state a league must field at least four teams.
"Things are looking up for MBGSL," said Paull. "After almost having our league terminated, we are coming back stronger than ever."
All of the players from the 8-and-Under (8U) team from last year will be returning as part of the 10-and-Under (10U) squad, in addition to two new 8U and two 6U teams, Paull said.
The MBGSL participated in the recent Pacific Beach Holiday Parade and passed out candy canes with business cards to promote the free clinic.
"We had a great time in the parade and every girl got to ride our horse Apache, the official MBGSL mascot in the parade," Paull said.
The first 10 girls who sign up for the free softball clinic on Jan. 5 will be eligible to ride Apache in the parade next year, as well.
Paull and Ross said they hope to help the girls develop their softball talents while at the youth level and create a pipeline for a local "farm system" of experienced players going into the high school level at Mission Bay.
"We are now a year-round league because we will start playing for fall next year," Paull said. "We need more girls who want to learn a great game and who want to be part of a team."
Ross agreed.
"We don't have a lot of girls with softball experience on our high school team," Ross said. "Most of them have never played organized softball, so we would like to create a relationship between the youth and the high school levels to get the parents and community more involved."
The MBGSL is for girls between ages 5 and 14 from any school or community at any experience level. The league begins in late February and runs until early May. For more information or to register, visit www.mbgsl.org.

Welcome to day three of a week of giveaways where I have more than a dozen sponsors with beautiful gifts for you.
Entering is easy, leave a comment on a giveaway post for a chance to win that day's prize. I will leave all the giveaways open for the week through Sunday December 7th then I'll draw all the giveaway winners Monday December 8th and will announce all the winners on Tuesday December 9th.
One entry per person please. I'm sorry but due to shipping costs giveaways are open to those with a U.S. address.
The thing I liked about the Shape-its kits is that I gave one to my niece who has Celiac's--to over-simplify, it's an intolerance to gluten--because she often has meals that are specific for her dietary needs. My sister is constantly making gluten-free breads, pancakes, cookies, muffins and crackers and I thought she'd appreciate the ability to make those special foods a little more fun. Suddenly she's not missing out when she's the one getting her own special pizza shaped like a dinosaur, huh?
Just one of the many uses for fun food makers like this.
I have a holiday Shape-its kit for our first winner today.
The second winner will get a copy of Matt Harvey's book Shopping with Dad, one of the many wonderful books you can find at Barefoot Books. I have reviewed their site before which you may remember and really enjoy the quality books they have to offer.
If you have a child on your holiday list I would start with Barefoot Books for a gift that will be meaningful for years to come.
And finally (as if this all isn't enough) I have copies of Kit Kittredge, the latest American Girl movie that little girls all over the place were clamoring to see. Two copies on Blu-ray disc to go out to two more winners today--four winners in all. If you have a preference as to which prize you'd like please let me know in your comment.
Technorati tags: product reviews, books, American Girl

The fact that some individuals misuse their liberty — to their own detriment — does not justify curtailing the rest of the citizenry's liberty, contrary to the Butler Eagle's May 7 editorial opposing Internet gambling.
What the editorial is advocating is a paternalistic state in which individuals' sovereignty is curtailed by an expansive government that purportedly promotes virtue and prohibits vice — a thorough perversion of the actual function of the government of a republic founded on the principle of individual rights.
To find a government more to the liking of the editorial, one need only recall the Vice and Virtue Ministry of Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

Revision as of 15:37, 19 February 2013
Africa Edge 21
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
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
Fountain Reach-Up 21
Route info:
The route is an old aid route done by Richard Smithers and Brian de Villiers in 1970 which has not been freed up until now.
The route has three pitches which go at 15, 21 and 10.
The route is situated just right of Fountain Chimney and follows a corner up to a ledge, from the ledge one pulls up into a rail in the roof and rails out right and then up heading towards a notch in another small roof, after this second roof one can make a stance and then continue up easily.
First ascent: Richard Smithers and Brian de Villiers
