Theodor Gebre Selassie

Theodor Gebre Selassie

A newcomer to Michal Bílek's Czech Republic squad, Theodor Gebre Selassie ended the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying campaign as the team's first-choice right-back, starting both of the play-off legs against Montenegro. He is Czech by birth but – as his name suggests – of East African ancestry on his paternal side.

• Born in Trebic, a small town in the south of the Czech Republic, to a Czech mother and Ethiopian father, he joined local club FC Vysočina Jihlava as a youth and made his debut in the second division in 2006/07 following a loan spell at FC Velké Meziříčí.

• Having left for the capital in 2007 when SK Slavia Praha lured him away from Vysočina, he helped the club win the 1. Liga title in his debut season but played only nine times and was not used in Europe, where Slavia competed in both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

• After just one term with Slavia, during which he graduated to Czech Under-21 honours, he left for FC Slovan Liberec two games into the 2008/09 campaign.

• Helped Liberec qualify for the UEFA Europa League via a third-place finish that season and was an ever present in 2011/12 – playing all 2,700 minutes – as the Blue-Whites won the Czech title for the first time in 11 years.

• Handed his first senior caps in June 2011 on an end-of-season tour to Japan, he started each of the Czech Republic's last four UEFA EURO 2012 qualifiers, replacing Zdeněk Pospech at right-back.

Hathaway - From Star-Struck to Star

“I guess you always feel a little bit nervous or apprehensive, especially just before a competition, but again, you’re gonna have to go out there and compete, so there’s no point in worrying about it. You just go out there and do what you’ve been doing in training and do it to the best of your ability.”
If you went simply by the looks on the faces of John Hathaway and Thomas Egan as they sat together at the press conference before their UFC 93 bout in Dublin in January of 2009, it would have been Game, Set, and Match in favor of Ireland’s Egan, who appeared to be an old pro at 20 as he answered query after query from the assembled media.

Hathaway, Egan’s senior at the ripe old age of 21, smiled from ear to ear, but that expression was borne out of the fact that he was sharing a dais with the likes of Rich Franklin, Mark Coleman, and Dan Henderson, heroes of his who he could now call colleagues.

“It was a great honor,” said Hathaway last week when reminiscing about the event. He even admitted to grabbing a picture with another UFC 93 competitor, Denis Kang, making it clear that fighting isn’t just a job for him, but a passion. But when the bell rang against Egan two nights after that first press conference, despite a raucous crowd screaming itself hoarse while cheering for the hometown hero, Hathaway showed that he wasn’t just happy to have made it to the UFC, but that he was going to stay awhile, as pounded out a first round TKO win that kicked off an Octagon campaign that has seen him go 4-0 in just under two years. And in the process, the most telling feature of Hathaway’s is how he turns that smile into a poker face once it’s time to fight.

“I guess you always feel a little bit nervous or apprehensive, especially just before a competition, but again, you’re gonna have to go out there and compete, so there’s no point in worrying about it,” he said with a smile. “You just go out there and do what you’ve been doing in training and do it to the best of your ability.”

The 23-year old makes it sound oh so simple, but it can’t possibly be, not in a game where the slightest bit of lost focus can end your night in a hurry or where men who have been competing since their grade school years can crumble under the pressure induced by the bright lights of the Octagon. No, keeping it all together when it counts is far from simple, but it’s an art that Hathaway seems to have mastered.

Case in point, his second UFC fight against fellow welterweight prospect Rick Story. When asked about being tested in his pro career, Hathaway shot right to that UFC 99 bout, which he won via unanimous decision.

“I’ve been in a couple fights before where I really had to dig deep and pull out a victory and it was a hard back and forth battle,” he said. “My fight with Rick Story, he was a very tough kid and that was an incredible fight as well.”

Yet if you watch the fight again, while it was a competitive and close bout, Hathaway never seemed on the verge of panic against a hard-charging battler like Story. He chuckles when you bring this to his attention.

“I try to stay calm during the fight and not waste energy by getting flustered,” he said. “Rick was a very hard fight and I just try to stay calm and not waste too much energy. That’s probably why I looked not so bad.”

So with these two wins, along with a victory over always tough countryman Paul Taylor at UFC 105, Hathaway had no qualms about taking a fight against longtime contender Diego Sanchez at UFC 114 in May. He may have been the only one, as most pundits and fans believed that while Hathaway was a stellar talent with a huge upside, fighting Sanchez – who was coming off three fights at 155 pounds against Joe Stevenson, Clay Guida, and BJ Penn – would be too much too soon.

Hathaway silenced those skeptics almost immediately with a right knee to the head that rocked and almost finished Sanchez.

“I think after I made that connection in the first round with my upper thigh and knee area, I kinda knew I had him slightly rocked,” said Hathaway. “Diego’s an incredible competitor and an incredible fighter, so he was very hard to put away. But I knew I could keep him at the right range and I could land shots as much as I could, and I tried to put pressure on him to keep him in my flow of the game.”

It was one of the most anti-climactic decisions seen in a long time when the judges rendered Hathaway the winner by scores of 30-27, 30-27, and 30-26, but the impact of the victory can’t be underestimated. This was a huge statement by Hathaway, and a shocking one to a lot of people.

“I still have a long way to go with learning in every kind of discipline, but I hope I’ve surprised a couple people after my last performances and I hope to keep surprising people with each performance,” he said. “I hope to be getting better each time and showing that I’ve gotten better each time.”

With the biggest win of his career to date secured, the 14-0 wunderkind from Brighton has now had to deal with the attention already afforded to his countrymen Michael Bisping and Dan Hardy as he approaches his UFC 120 bout against Mike Pyle this Saturday. He’s taking it in stride, even though when it comes to some pre-fight trash talk, he may as well be described as the anti-Bisping or anti-Hardy.

“It’s a big deal obviously,” said Hathaway of his rise up the main card. “I’m midway through the main card now. My last fight was my first one on the main card and obviously being in the UK with the other UK fighters, I’ve been getting slightly more publicity and doing more interviews, but it’s another fight for me, another one I get to prove my skill in and try my best in.”

And while the Hathaway-Pyle bout doesn’t jump off the page like Bisping vs Yoshihiro Akiyama or Hardy vs Carlos Condit, it is one of the most intriguing fights on the London card, simply because Pyle has the tool set to take advantage of any mistake from a young prospect, and because the young prospect in question isn’t in the business of making too many mistakes. And Hathaway knows just how dangerous Pyle can be.

“He reacts very well in a lot of combat situations because of his experience and he’s an incredibly dangerous opponent, so I’m taking him very seriously and I trained very hard for him,” said Hathaway, whose main strength is that he doesn’t have one particular ‘go to’ move or one style that he’s locked into. He’s one of the new breed of fighters who have learned the sport of mixed martial arts from Day One, and not jiu-jitsu, wrestling or kickboxing with a little of the other disciplines tossed in along the way.

“I think that’s helped me a lot and I think the next generation is taking it in that way where they’re becoming complete mixed martial artists straight away,” said Hathaway. “It helps you when it comes to deciding on a gameplan and building up to a fight because I can use certain attributes where my opponents are either weaker in or where I feel I have a slight advantage, and I can change my training about building up to each competition as an individual thing, as I’m fairly well-rounded across the disciplines.”

As you can tell, he’s modest too, and that may be the key to his success, because nothing brings a huge ego down to Earth like a well-placed right cross to the jaw or a tight triangle choke. Hathaway knows it, so don’t expect him to deviate from what has brought him this far so fast.

“I try to treat every fight with a lot of professionalism, and I train incredibly hard for each one,” he said, “so it doesn’t matter whether I’m fighting at home or abroad, I’m always gonna give it a hundred percent in my training and in the competition as well.”

UFO Sighting Report - USA

Early 1982 : Littleton, Arapahoe County, Colorado

UFOINFO E-mail Report

Location: Littleton, Arapahoe County, Colorado

Date: Early 1982

Time: 6:00pm - 6:30pm

Number of witnesses: 2 plus occupants of other cars

Number of objects: 1

Shape of objects: Cylindrical

[Update Note: Corrections were made to the spelling of Littleton, and the direction of the lights from counterclockwise to clockwise.]

Hi John -

I don't know how involved you still are with your UFO website, but I just did a web search after watching a UFO bit on the History Channel. It got me to thinking about an episode that transpired in early 1982, if memory serves. I'm currently in northwest Indiana, USA, but was living just south of Denver, Colorado at the time of this occurrence.

The time period of early 1982 comes from my memory of the circumstances surrounding the sighting and the people who were with me that day. I was in 8th grade, living in unincorporated Arapahoe County, Colorado. The area was generically referred to as Littleton at the time. I was just coming off a skiing trip with two friends who I'd known in the parochial school I was enrolled in. I attended this school for one school year from August '81 to June of '82. What I can't recall is whether this sighting transpired before or after the New Year. Since I had been skiing, I certainly know it was winter...and since I did the bulk of my skiing from January to March of each year, I'm merely guessing at this time frame. In truth, it could have just as easily have been late 1981.

My mother was driving the car, having just picked myself and my two friends up from an Eskimo Ski Club outing. We had taken the Eskimo charter bus to and from the Winter Park ski area that day. She dropped my friends off at their respective homes northwest of where this sighting occurred, and we proceeded home by way of South Broadway and Dry Creek Road. My father worked at the Marathon Oil research facility located at this intersection, and that really gave me a focal location for this sighting all of these years. Proceeding south down Broadway at what must have been about 6 - 6:30 PM (after picking us up from the bus and given that it was already dark outside, this is as fair a guess as any), I noticed a rather bright light in the vicinity of the Marathon installation. I mentioned it to my mom, who didn't think much of it until we were nearby and the proportions of the source became clear.

This thing appeared to be hovering roughly 100-150 feet off the ground and was quite my best estimate, at least 100 feet in diameter. It may even have been larger. As my mom turned off of Broadway and onto Dry Creek Road very near the object, I also noticed a number of other vehicles pulled off to the side of the road. Several people were outside of their vehicles and along the fence separating the Marathon property from the roadway, examining the object. My mom went quiet and slowed the car down. I rolled down the window and listened for any sound, but there was none.

Against the night sky, this object appeared to be cylindrical in shape, perhaps 25% as high as it was wide. (Cut the bottom inch off a soda can, magnify it dramatically, and that would be somewhat proportional). There were lights that encompassed the periphery of the object, and these lights moved steadily in a circular fashion around the object forming unique patterns that remained consistent as they tracked from left to right. From our perspective on the ground, had I been standing directly beneath the object, the movement of these lights would have been clockwise...the object was only slightly to our north. I say "lights" in the plural because there were visual patterns that appeared illuminated on the circumference of the object, but it's tough to say whether these patterns were the product of many small light sources acting together or whether they existed independently as greater wholes. It was sort of like a seamless, smoothly scrolling marquee displaying patterns that were neither identifiable nor particularly meaningful.

The object appeared stationary except for the circular movement of these light patterns. There were no other phenomena associated with the object at that time - it was simply hanging in the air, apparently rather close to the ground and to ourselves. I remember thinking that somebody with a really good arm could probably have thrown a rock and come close to hitting it. My mother soon commented, "Geez, this is creepy!" and hit the gas. We were then proceeding away from the object, eastbound on Dry Creek Road. I continued to view the object from the rear of the car as she drove. It seemed to remain in place for the first few minutes, and then slowly moved to the north while still clearly illuminated and in plain sight.

As a relative youngster at the time (pre-teen), I was less "affected" by this occurrence than my mother was. When we arrived home, she walked into the house, sat on the couch, and just stared at the wall. She finally asked me, "What do you do when you've seen something like that?" I asked her if it she'd feel better if I called the local police. She just vaguely nodded her head. I proceeded to call 911 and explained the time, location and nature of the occurrence, also noting that the object was last seen moving slowly north along the Front Range. The emergency operator took my information, indicated that nothing could be seen at that moment, but also indicated that I was not the only person who had called it in. There was no further elaboration.

I never witnessed such a thing again. I reminded my mother of it just a couple of years ago when she visited my home here in Indiana, many years after the fact. She seemed to have repressed the occurrence, but slowly acquiesced that she remembered "something" about this having happened. Even then, she appeared distraught by the memory and didn't feel like pursuing the conversation further. I respected that reaction, despite the fact that I have never felt traumatized by the event. In fact, I recall thinking it was a rather magnificent and unique occurrence.

I was compelled for the first time to search the Internet for such experiences in this locality and time frame. I have not yet found any, but did come across your site detailing plenty of other sightings and locations through the years. I have spoken openly of this occurrence with friends along the way because while it was a decidedly strange event, I have never been one to reject the possibility of such unique phenomena.

As I mentioned, I don't know if you keep up with this information or not. I will most likely not follow this up with further Internet searches, but in the event you do use this information in any sort of public forum, I'd prefer you simply use my first name.

Thanks for your site! It's been interesting to peruse. This is not a subject I'm particularly enamored with, but given that I've found myself in a strange happenstance at least once in life, I'll admit it sort of hangs with me. It would be neat if we had some answers someday!

Take care -

UH Moores School of Music Closes Out Spring with 'Candide'

Bernstein’s Comic Opera Featuring UH Vocal Talents, Symphony Orchestra April 26

Some of the Moores School of Music’s top voices will unite with a collection of its finest orchestral musicians to deliver a fitting conclusion to the spring performance season.

The Moores School of Music (MSM) will present a concert adaptation of Leonard Bernstein’s opera “Candide” (based on Voltaire’s book of the same title). The performance begins at 7:30 p.m., April 26 in UH’s Moores Opera House (Entrance 16 off Cullen Boulevard). Tickets are'Candide' $20 and $12 for students and seniors. To purchase tickets or for more details, call the Moores Ticket Office at 713-743-3313 or visit the online box office.

“Candide” will feature UH’s combined choruses (led by MSM professors Betsy Cook Weber and Jeb Mueller) and the acclaimed Moores Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Franz Anton Krager). The concert also will showcase the voices of MSM alumni and faculty, as well as cameo appearances from Moores professors.

Cast members include students Brian Yeakley, Nicole Woodward and Heath Martin. MSM faculty members Buck Ross and Melanie Sonnenberg also have prominent roles. Noted opera performer and alumnus Joseph Gaines takes on the role of the title character.

“Candide” is not only MSM’s season-ending concert, It will be the final performance MSM will deliver under the leadership of David Ashley White. After steering the school for 15 years, White has decided to focus his attentions on teaching and his compositions. White is internationally renowned as a composer of secular and sacred music. A number of organizations have commissioned works from White, and his music is performed in concert halls and churches around the globe. MSM professor Andrew Davis will assume the role of the school’s director after the spring semester.

“Nearly everyone in the Moores School of Music has leaped into this project,” Weber said. “Typically, a concert of this size would be a challenge, but everyone’s enthusiasm has made it very easy to coordinate. It definitely will be a bittersweet performance because this is the last concert with David at the helm.”

Krager agreed that “Candide” will mark the end of an era for the Moores School of Music. He added that passion is driving this collaborative concert featuring the talents of faculty and students.

“There is not a person on that stage who is not passionate about this school or David Ashley White,” Krager said. “We always do something extraordinary at the end of the season, but this is a particularly special show.”

The Moores School of Music is one of the premier music schools in America. Offering bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, it serves approximately 600 students annually. Areas of study include composition, conducting, performance, theory and musicology. Its faculty consists of internationally recognized performers, composers and scholars. Among its ensembles are the Moores School Symphony Orchestra, Moores Jazz Ensemble, Moores Opera Center, Concert Chorale, Concert Women’s Chorus, Spirit of Houston Cougar Marching Band, Wind Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble. A majority of the school’s concerts are performed in the 800-seat Moores Opera House. For more details on the Moores School of Music, visit http://www.music.uh.edu/.

/ helvellyn ridge -3 peaks training

This topic has been archived, and won't accept reply postings.
Radioactiveman - on 24 Aug 2013
doing a bit more 3 peaks training unday up helvellyn ridge from grasmere if anyone wants to tag along for some of the finest portage on offer

aiming to leave kendal at 7 (driving to grasmere)
Radioactiveman - on 25 Aug 2013
In reply to Radioactiveman:

didnt crawl out of bed til 8am

Cracking weather in the valley. Low cloud,breezy and cool up top. Perfect weather for a 2 hour carry !

Few people were amazed to see what they seemed to think was a road bike up on the summit,I was too knackered to explain what a cross bike is.

Cracking ride,the descent down the coach road was ace if a little hard on the hands, I had to stop a couple of time because I could no longer hold the bars

Overall a great route and brilliant carrying training.
Orgsm on 26 Aug 2013
In reply to Radioactiveman:

Better the other way around, up coach road onto the end the ridge, along to Helvelkyn, keep going, drop down to Grizedale tarn then turn right past seat sandal and down to Grasmete. Very little carrying that way.
Radioactiveman - on 26 Aug 2013
In reply to Beat me to it!:

Cheers for the suggestion,probablky sounds odd but planned it as carrying practice.

Surprised how many other people were out but I guess it was bank holiday,unusual to see any bikes up high
richlan - on 27 Aug 2013
In reply to Radioactiveman: I would have thought that you would want to practice carrying for the 3 peaks after maximum exertion from pedalling, that's the hard transition, not carrying for 2 hours.

As you are in Kendal laps of the back of the Helm and a carry up from the Station Inn end would be more beneficial as focussed training.

But if you just wanted to summit Helvellyn on a sunny day on the cross bike then that's fine I suppose, each to their own and all that !
Radioactiveman - on 27 Aug 2013
In reply to Radioactiveman:

cheers for the suggestion will probably save it for a poor weather day, does the helm have bridleways on it ?

wanted to get out for a long ride as well. a mate who does the 3 peaks recommended it and said he has found longer carries better than short intervals, but guess its a matter of finding what works best

richlan - on 27 Aug 2013
In reply to Radioactiveman: Actually, apologies, no, I thought you could cycle on it but it appears it's Open Access only so it's no go !
SteveRi - on 28 Aug 2013
Sounds like a great day out in the hills - don't get carried away with the carrying. The longest carry should be a lot less than 2 hours! That said, most of my training is on the mighty pimples of north Cheshire so you'll be a lot better prepared than me

Ash Sayers - Lead O/S - 24/Aug/14

So much for a chilled HS multi-pitch to end the day. P1 was OK but more run out than expected. P2 is fine. P3 is a run out death trap for the grade - that loose stack of blocks needs to go! Never found the hidden peg so no idea if it's gone or we simply went off route. VS 4b?

AngelaC - AltLd - 19/Jun/14 with Alex, Jeremy

PS P1 + P2, AB P3. Pitch one is interesting... no gear for quite a while. Massive loose block on P3, it could do with being safely taken down as it is direcly above the belay stance for Greta and Zelda. Couldn't find the 'hidden peg' on P3, off route maybe?

Melonfly - 2nd O/S - Apr/14 with Caleb

Bold and Dangerous. On first pitch (10 meters up with no runners) entire ledge I was standing on collapsed away. Just about managed to cling on. Terrifying. A few minutes later, a second ledge in the corner cracked and detached from the wall but thankful didnt break off (will do shortly). Extremely friable rock. Not to mention the huge death block wobbling directly over the 2nd belay. The route had several 10 meter run outs over manky pegs. Fully worth VS. I'd pity the HS leader who found themselves on this. A serious route.
Kemics - Lead O/S - 09/Mar/14 with Mel

Felt a bit trippy on the wet rock that plastered this route. Maybe better in the summer!

jackdimples1 - Lead - 15/Aug/13

An interesting expedition! led pitch 1 which seems quite bold - no gear on the traverse. Pitch 2 steep and reachy led by Duncan. The peg was fine but you need to be 5'7" or taller to clip it. I couldn't reach at all! Bill gave up on Pitch 3 and headed for the undergrowth. Scary gardening.
Babika - AltLd - 10/Aug/13 with Duncan Skelton, Bill Thurston

Not really worth the effort. Nasty loose blocks all over. Probably under graded - I wouldn't send an HS leader up this.

ben.richards - AltLd O/S - 10/Aug/13 with Luca Celano

Cam't see how this gets a star. Very slimy and indistinct start from the Pit. 2nd pitch OK. 3rd pitch wandery amd ended belaying in a thorn bush and then bailed from a neighouring tree, not fancying the chossy exit.

riff156 - Lead rpt - 27/Jun/13 with Jo Smith

Good climb spoilt by a scrappy and indeterminate 3rd pitch. The hidden peg on this pitch stayed hidden for me too. You'd be well advised to finish up pitch 2 of Zelda, you won't miss much.
Bobling - AltLd - 26/Jun/13 with Andy again

Fab climb. Some nice moves mid second pitch even if gear abit thin here. As forthe hidden peg on the second pitch ....well it was hidden. didnt find it. Rob took pitch 1 an 3
kiwi boy - AltLd O/S - 26/Jun/13 with rob

Scary traverse on pitch 1.
Neil Henson - 2nd - 16/Jun/13 with Mo Walker

waited till 1st pitch was dry. Then found scratched arrows on 1st belay, Why? its obvious which way to go. top 'hidden' peg has gone.
MoWalker3 - 16/Jun/13 with neilH

Very hard to navigate. 3rd pitch was easy but massively run out: couldn't find the hidden peg. Got lost and bailed on this many years ago. Great to finally get to the top.
JamesColeman - AltLd - Jun/13 with Gordon

not as good as its neighbour Zelda. A bit dirty in praces with some good climbing but some bush whacking as well. Led 1st and 3rd
darren hudson - AltLd O/S - 20/May/13 with Dave Wynne jones

With a pack at the end of the day, which made it a little more challenging. Found it a bit broken and wandering, but a decent journey up the cliff
Dr Toph - Solo O/S - 02/Mar/13

Climbed as a three. I lead the first pitch. The leader went way off route to the left on the top pitch. Lots of fun with three of us cuddling together on the first belay ledge. Shared the belay with another pair climbing Zelda (KitRabbette?). Sorry if we slowed you guys down!

No soft touch for HS 4b. There is a large loose block on the second pitch that would once have been a brilliant jug, but is now a dangerous distraction.
RosyR - 2nd - 31/May/12 with Andy McC, Tony R

John led p1 and p3.pitch 1 was a little interesting,p2 was exposed and very little gear:hard for the grade i felt.pitch 3 was shite.all in all it was only the multipitch experience that made it worth while as the climbing was some what lacking!Zelda is far nicer from memory and easier!
jon_gill1 - AltLd O/S - 27/May/12 with john beardmore

Me: 1st and 3rd pitchs. Jon: 2nd pitch. The first pitch is very bold (for the grade) off the ground to the first gear. I was very happy that I was not just an HS leader on this.

Lead second pitch, seconded first and third. Dropped a set of nuts on Hannah when placing my first piece on the second pitch after they magicly became detached, impressively she caught them and I went back down and got them. I also got very lost on the second pitch but eventually managed to find the shared belay point. Whilst at the belay stance a Chinook flew below us down the valley.
WillRees - AltLd O/S - 16/May/12 with Hannah Scott

Dave p1&3, me p2, Great climb, Nothing technically outragious for 4b, but that start is still well scary. Note - there id a huge block on p2 that isn't long for this world, nor will be anyone beneath it.
PaulWatson - AltLd rpt - 13/May/12 with Dave P

Led the last pitch - first pitch a bit dirty - second pitch has some interesting moves including a lovely wide move right onto a ledge. Beautiful day and an enjoyable climb.

Left the sasc fura at 04:10. Started climbing at 06:40, topped out at 10am. 3.5hrs on route. Moved together all the way. Probably 12-15 teams behind us! Walked down to Gianetti hut for pasta and coffee lunch then walked down to Bagni del Masino for 16:00.

Got about a third of the way up before a storm rolled in and we had to bail. Great climbing up to there and pretty straightforward on the whole - easy slab climbing with regular ring bolts to clip for runners while moving together. The snow patches were just about passable in trainers, without crampons or axe but an axe between two to chop steps might have been a bit more pleasant. Will definitely be back for this one and the Cassin.

We were planning on descending the ridge but decided on ascent that it would be too much faffing... dropped down to the Gianetti hut instead and walked back the next day. I do not recommend that walk, horrible!! Loose choss on sloping ledges. If I'm up there again, staying in the bivi hut on the summit and descending the ridge the following day would be a much better option. Ridge was fantastic though! Moved together for all of it, though rope drag shortened a few sections significantly. Don't think it was much faster than pitching it efficiently, but possibly more fun :)

I was a bit too tired to appreciate the views from the top.
Kirill - AltLd - 21/Aug/13 with Stevo

Up the north ridge (7 ish hours) and down the same side (6 ish hours). For descent mixture of down climbing and abseiling to the top of Another Day in Paradise, you can't simply ab down the north ridge on brass ring bolts, the shape of the ridge doesn't allow this and I think some of the ring bolts are more than 50 metres apart and not in the logical place for repeated abseiling, despite what the Chris Mellor guide says). Then 14 abseils down Another Day In Paradise which I guess was quite risky given we can't climb F6c! However we did have another party behind and in front of us that could! A long tiring but very satisfying day with very good weather and views. We started scrambling up to the start from our bivi at dawn and came back to the same spot at dusk and walked back out getting to the campsite at around midnight, having got up at 5 am! We only moved together for the first 2 pitches, and around 4 higher up as well as for most of the scrambling to the summit after the last pitch.
CurlyStevo - AltLd - Aug/13 with Kirill S

We decided to climb as much as we could setting a limited of reaching as high as possible by 1pm. By 2:18pm we reached the exit area for another day in paradise, We weren't quite sure where we were, thinking we were at the top of the technical climbing we decided to ab back down as my partner wanted to be back in Bondo that night. Not seeing this as dnf but not perhaps the start of something new in my climbing. Still amazing climbing up to this point nothing difficult just bold.
matthomas79 - 30/Jul/13 with Paul Lee

long, abseil descent not so bad if you stick to the ridge/rings. advise twin 60s, lots of stations could be skipped on way up and down.
GuyVG - AltLd O/S - 26/Jul/13 with oli

Abseil retreat around halfway up after rain and hail made further progress problematic to say the least. Still lots of snow on the approach - crampons and ice axe necessary

Just excellent, start to finish. Perfect conditions. Less fun getting to the Gianetti hut. A big rock fall just after we got down clipped a party behind us.
Poco Loco - AltLd - 18/Jul/12 with Bald Eagle

A truly superlative climb and the Pom and I were truly blessed with perfect conditions. Take double ropes for the descent into Italy to the Gianetti Hut, as the ab rings are well spaced, and be careful of much loose rock...

route was super dry in late August - we were 1st out of the hut at about 4.30 - changed into rock boots at the little col and then 3hrs 20 to the summit - only pitched the short crux traverse. rapped down and passed several very slow parties all stuck on the grade 4 slabs. Feet were like hambergers at the bottom. Nice beer in the hut, back at the car by 5.15 and just in time for a pizza from the Stone Bar back in Argentiere before 10.

benclimbing - AltLd O/S - Aug/11 with Dave Latimer

Tried to do this route earlier in the trip but we were caught in a thunderstorm during the walk in the night before. After getting soaked and sleeping in very wet tents we woke up to bad weather so had to head down the mountain without trying the route. On second attempt we Bivviied the night before the climb and then got about 3/4 up before the weather closed in. Having no wish to be caught in a second storm on the Badille we started descent at 11am via abseil. The descent took 4+ hours not including the 3 or 4 hour walk down the mountain.

It's easy to underestimate the climbing on this route. Most pitches seemed to have a hard move or two, so we pitched the whole thing. 12 hours from col to summit (for competent VS climbers). Bivied on way down. Longest and best thing I've ever led for sure.
Pero - Lead - 04/Sep/10

Fantastic, but took about 10 hours, finishing about 5pm. Not enough time for Swiss descent, so attempted to get to Rif. Gianetti. Got too dark so had to bivvy.

Moved quickly together in approach shoes, lewis followed an alluring ledge littered with pegs, pulled some loose flakes off and took and ankle damaging fall (3/4 up route). Lowered lewis + abbed back down ridge.

Lack of crampons made walking v. difficult - too much snow hanging around late in the season! Start from Sasc Fura at 4:30, base of ridge 7:30, summit 11, abseil down (don't do it...) and back for beers at the hut for 5pm. Chris led whole thing, I just kept up!

Took longer than expected. Nearly got hit by a TV-sized block that Ben's dad sent down from above on the ascent. Got most of the way back down before an unplanned bivvy. Ben and his dad were quicker and got off the ridge. Did the remaining few abseils the next morning. Amused to find out that Ben and his dad couldn't find the hut in the dark and ended up sleeping in the trees within a very short distance of it!

My first ever alpine route. Climbed roped together, took bout 10 hours to the top climbing roped together. What an experience one I will never forget. At the top the exposer of 1000meteres or so went write to my head I could do two things freeze or just continue to laugh, so I laughed all the way across the top ridge. At the summit every1 took the piss when I pulled out a jar of olives and a kinife which I carried with me to the top. We were going to abb back down but that was so not going to happen, so we decided to head to the italian hut. We got lost on the one abb and went down a scary gully, at bottom we read in guide book do not go down the death gully o well to late. We then got to the hut but had no passports to get back into switzaland the next day. So I drank my way threw italy and dave went to get the car ashe had his passport was quite drunk by this point.

Stone Muppet - 2006

Dale's first alpine route - quite an introduction! A proper classic: a superb line that grabs your attention from miles away and provides plenty of enjoyably exposed climbing. Abbing back down the ridge looked a right pain, so we changed our minds and descended into Italy. Passed the night after a grappa or two at the very pleasant Gianetti hut, then spent the next day drinking our way back to the campsite by foot, bus, train and car. All in all, an excellent adventure.

Stunning route, moved together on a lot of it but had to pitch some of it. The weather came in from the South though so we got to the summit in an almighty thunder storm. Hair standing on end under my helment and the static in the air was palpable. The original intent was to abseil down the route but due to the storm we headed for the Gianetti Hut, descending down the South Face normal route in appauling conditions. Heavy rain, hail stones, deafening thunder that was instantaneous with the lightning. A bit on the scary side at the time, but all the more fun for it looking back. The food at the Gianetti Hut was amazing. From when we got up at Sasc Fura to when we arrived at Gianetti was 16 hours in total, and epic day, now a treasured memory. The return over the Porcellizzo and Trubinasca Passes felt long and hard the day after, taking 9 hours to get back to the car near Bondo.

Were heading for Cassin, but as we got up from bivy the rain came in. Opted for the N Ridge and did this, from about a third of way up in dry weather. Had some lightening on the summit so headed off at speed and down the same route. Mainly very easy climbing, odd bits pitched and majority moving together.

Forecast Starting Price

Like every other pundit on the planet we don't know what the actual starting price will be. However, we have attempted to forecast what the SP will be and this is our effort.

To be honest this isn't used much except for in the reports and this is rather weak field as the market is less predictable than the horses themselves.

nice. listened to the first track. the music sounds good. i like the tone and style. i just think the vocals could use some work, it's out of pitch sometimes.

Noel Gallagher Considering Oasis Movie: 'It's Very Strange, But Tempting'

Noel Gallagher Considering Oasis Movie: 'It's Very Strange, But Tempting'
Former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher hinted that an interesting endeavor could happen in the near future - an actual Oasis movie.

As Noel explained at Bafta, making a film about the band has some sort of irresistible charm for him. "People have seriously approached me about that," he said (via Alternative Nation). "It's something that's very strange but very tempting."

"If it means I get to come here and watch Brad Pitt eat a bit of salmon then I'll make a film a year if I can," the guitarist added, along with a remark that he'd like Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender from "12 Years a Slave" to play himself. He even came up with a movie title related to that idea - "20 Years a Geezer."

In recent Oasis news, Gallagher brothers have reportedly ended their feud and are opening an indie rock-themed restaurant. More info here.

MXD15 Reviewed by: rastaman_Marley, on may 28, 2007
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

Price paid: $ 152

Purchased from: The Guitar Shop

Features: This little amp is a great beginner amplifier. It sports an 8" speaker with 15watts of solid state power. It has a Drive channel called "crunch" with seperate level and "crunch factor" controls. The amp has a three band equaliser with bass, middle and treble, this gives you a fair amount of tone shaping but it could be better. The DSP effects knob is pretty fun to muck around with, 4different delays, 2chorus, 2flanger, rotary, 2reverb(hall and stadium level), delay+chorus and reverb+chorus which gives a beginner a basic understanding of what each effect does. Headphone and CD line in\out jacks help too. // 8

Sound: I'm in a band that does a fair bit of recording and it gets the necessary level of volume but my other guitarist has a 65 watt Randall and it can keep up with his but it doesn't sound as good due to the lack of wattage. I does pretty well for my style of music. It can get a pretty good BB King blues tone through my Epiphone lp and can handle metal and the harder stuff pretty well. On the Clean Channel at about three quarters it has a fair bit of noise when not playing and does start to distort a bit. As for the crunch channel it has quite a bit of noise at high volume but you can get a pretty mean distort out of it and I think I might prefer the Drive channel over my Boss BD-2 at times. // 9

Reliability & Durability: I played a few one-song gigs at my old school's assemblies but I crank it more at practice and it hasn't broken down in the 2-3 years I've had it. I'm a pretty clumsy guy, I love my gear but it gets knocked around a lot but this little baby stays strong. // 10

Overall Impression: This suits my style pretty well. It sounds pretty good through my crybaby and BD-2. It's a great beginners amp because it will satisfy your needs and can last a fair few rounds next to some of your bigger wattage combos. I probably wouldn't buy it again if it were stolen because I'm saving up for a Hotrod Deluxe but it is a great practice amp. I love everything about it (probably because it was my first amp and it has sentimental value) and I prefer it over my friend's Fender frontman 15watt. // 8

Be on the lookout for a Dark Gold 76 4WD, has a black A-bar on the front last seen heading south on I-205 just north of Powell/Division exit and turning onto that exit yesterday

if anyone can flag the person down and get info you get a cookie (or a beer or 2 pending on what I have lol) :grin:

this has been the 4th 76 wagon that I have ever seen and the last one (besides the one I see everyday in the driveway of course) was over on Trask River RD near Tillamook with a for sale sign for $1000 firm :eek: at Oregon Trail rally time with some cancer but a almost perfect interior (1 rip in the drivers seat bottom) and also a rear bumper!

Women's Lacrosse

No. 14 Massachusetts Falls To No. 12 Loyola, 10-4

May 9, 2014

Box Score

NEWTON, Mass. - The No. 14 nationally ranked University of Massachusetts women's lacrosse team faltered in a 10-4 game against No. 12 Loyola in the NCAA Tournament First Round, hosted by Boston College at the BC Lacrosse Complex in Newton, Mass., on Friday afternoon. Erika Eipp and Sam Rush earned two points a piece to pace the UMass attack as Rush netted a pair of goals on passes from Eipp.

Melissa Carelli and Courtney McGrath added a goal each while Amy Tiernan helped out on one tally. Kelsey Sheridan secured four draw controls, scooped up a trio of groundballs and caused three turnovers for the Minutewomen to lead the defense while Kate Farnham tallied three groundballs and a caused turnover.

UMass ended its season with an 18-2 overall record, the third-most earned in a single year in program history. Loyola improved to 15-5 on the year with the win and advanced to face the winner of the Boston College-Bryant contest in the NCAA Tournament Second Round.

Loyola scored back-to-back goals from Sydney Thomas and Hannah Schmitt in the span of 59 seconds to push ahead, 2-0 with 24:31 left to play in the first, but Rush rippled the net in the 10th minute to reset the UMass single-season goals record and cut the deficit in half.

To start the successful offensive series, UMass goalie Rachel Vallarelli turned aside a Greyhounds shot and Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team honoree Hannah Murphy scooped up the loose ball. Murphy pushed the pace and found Eipp near midfield before Eipp sprinted toward the Loyola cage. Once in the attacking zone, Eipp dished to Rush at the crease for Rush to score her 66th goal of the season and the 175th of her career.

The Greyhounds moved in front, 3-1 with a goal from Annie Thomas at the 18:32 mark, but McGrath struck for her eighth tally of the season to again drop the Massachusetts deficit to one just under five minutes later.

A free-position shot from Schmitt netted Loyola its fourth goal of the afternoon before Carelli scored on a rebound attempt in front with 6:48 remaining in the first half to keep the UMass deficit to one goal. After a Tanner Guarino free-position attempt was blocked in front by Loyola goalie Molly Wolf, Carelli scooped up the groundball and deposited it into the back of the net in one motion.

The defensive battle of the first half carried over into the second frame as neither team notched a goal until Loyola extended its advantage to 5-3 with 23:19 to play in regulation. The Greyhounds added two more tallies to grow their lead to 7-3 with 19:36 to play before Rush responded to end the streak.

Rush netted her second goal of the day after she faked low to open up the top left corner for a shot from near the left post. However, the Greyhounds added another free position tally to widen the margin to 8-4 before they tacked on a pair of late goals to reach the final score.

Massachusetts led in shots, 22-20 and groundballs, 19-16. The Minutewomen controlled the draw, winning 11 of the 15 taken; however, UMass finished just 10-for-16 on clears with 19 turnovers. Loyola went 15-for-18 on clears with 17 turnovers.

Fired for attendance due to babysitter issues?

by Ashley
(Rock Hill, SC)

I lost my job recently due to attendance issues. I worked for the company for almost 4 years. I started out on third shift, then had to transfer to first because of my children. I had a very good attendance up until 3 months before I got fired. Our company has a "No fault" attendance policy; so it doesn't matter why you are out, and in order to use PTO, it has to be 48 hours in advance. It seemed like everything that could happen, happened. We had inclement weather and I wasn't able to make it to work, I couldn't even get out of the parking lot the ice was so bad. I wasn't going to risk getting in a car accident and being out of work longer. My children got sick, I contracted their illness, so of course I had to call out for those days. A few weeks later, I hurt my back, and I was out for one full day, and went in late the next day. I did have doctors excuses for those days. Then I hired a new babysitter, and sometimes she would call me the morning of, saying that she could not watch them. I have always called out and did let my superiors know what was going on. We have a new supervisor, and he's one of those people who, say one thing the first time and then a few days later he changes his mine. Then last minute we all of sudden had to work 10-hour shifts plus Saturdays. I love to work, but my kids have to come first. My hands were tied in this

situation. I cannot afford daycare, otherwise I would have put them in one. He also was mad that I couldn't make it to work for 2 Saturdays, because I was going on vacation, after it was already approved. He said he was "unaware" that I was going to be gone from Saturday to Saturday. Pretty much they refused to work with me, other than changing my shift. I cannot work 2nd or 3rd shift, I am a single mother of 2 children, and its very difficult to find a babysitter for those hours on top of I would hardly see them during the week. I really need to know what I should do about unemployment benefits, I had good reason to be out. There wasn't anything I could've done. My company fights unemployment, so I've heard from past employees. Any information about the state of South Carolina work laws regarding overtime, etc. would be most helpful. Thanks.

Hi Ashley,

I can't make out what the "final incident" was. What precisely motivated the employer to fire you?

South Carolina is an attorney state and is the one state that refuses to talk to third parties .. unless that third party is a SC attorney .. So I have less knowledge about SC.

Here is a link to some links that turned up while searching The Dept. of SC LLR for "overtime".

I really can't say anything about the attendance issue because I can't tell if you were fired for being late or absent because of one or more babysitting incidents or if your were fired for refusing to work overtime or for taking a preapproved vacation.

Misconduct - Did you have the ability to "exercise control"
by: Chris - webmaster:)

Attendance point systems that have no regard for the circumstances .. suck. Why employer's use them .. I don't know.

Misconduct is generally something we have control over .. I often talk about things like "inadvertant errors" that do not rise to the level of misconduct needed to deny unemployment, but this is not to say that a "misjudgment" cannot be misconduct if you had the ability to exercise control over a situation or your actions.

When an employer uses a point system they eliminate their ability to discount occurrences that are outside the employees control. Childcare is a parent's responsibility and when an employer fires someone over it .. a point system is indiscriminate.

You will just need to provide the information about what you had been doing to try to get the situation under control. They need to know you were trying to preserve your employment by asking the employer to work with you temporarily until you found a solution, but the employer disregarded your valid and compelling request for a short term problem which was beyond your control.

Childcare issues are often beyond our control .. they get sick, babysitters get sick.

Doctor notes count as proof that an absence was beyond our control.

Just be honest and forthright.

Attendance issues
by: Anonymous

Hi, I apologize for that. I was going to be late the day that I was fired, I only had a 1/2 occurence left. So that caused me to be terminated. Regardless of that, I would've been terminated anyway, because they refused to let me leave early 2 days a week so I could pick up my kids, after I already told them my situation, and they said it was ok. I saw a totally different side of my supervisor that day, he pretty much threatened me with termination, saying that I don't deserve "special treament". I wasn't thinking like that at all, I just needed them to work with me until I got everything straightened out, which would've been a few weeks. He also said that I had to work Saturdays, and had to work 10-hours, and if I didn't that would cause me to get an occurence, and I knew what would happen is I got another occurence. He has only been there for 5 months, and he was sworn in as a supervisor with no prior experience. I believe he is just on a huge "power trip". All in all, they just do not treat people fair.

Our policy states, that we have to call the attendance line if we are going to be late or out, which results in an occurence; but they told me to either call my superivor or our inbound manager if I'm am going to be out or late so I won't get an occurence. I did that. In return, about a week later, my supervisor wrote me up for the days that I called in due to problems with the babysitter. Also, one of my friends that work there is late all the time, and they told her to either be there at 4 am or 5 am. (4 am is the start of her shift for that department). She was told that if she is going to be late, then she can be there at 5, but just as long as it is on the hour, so she won't get written up. Sound fair? That company is so screwed up, it is at a steady decline it seems like. I don't mean to sound like a pain, but judging by her attendance record, she should've been fired a long time ago. I didn't have excessive tardiness, I was just out alot due to the kids being sick or problems with the babysitter. Things that I can't control. Sorry it so long, but I forgot to add some things in the last one. Thanks.

Advancing ocean issues at Rio+20 and beyond: working toward ambitious and action-oriented outcomes

© Y.HameedIsland daily life (Maldives)

While negotiations were in full swing during the third open-ended informal intersessional meeting in preparation for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), a side event focused on the ocean-issues that must be addressed and included in the negotiation process, which will be of capital importance for the global environment in the coming 10 years.

UNESCO-IOC, the Global Ocean Forum, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Fiji to the United Nations, and the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Seychelles to the United Nations joined forces to organize the event and address the perspectives of States, UN agencies, and civil society on achieving a viable ocean outcome from the Rio+20 process.

The meeting was co-chaired by Wendy Watson-Wright (UNESCO-IOC) and Biliana Cicin-Sain (Global Ocean Forum). Experts gave an overview of current threats and challenges, including declining coral reefs and acidification (Scott Doney), sea level rise (Joe Appiott), coastal erosion, land-based sources of marine pollution, and overfishing (Brittany Baschuk). Ambassador Ronald Jumeau recalled that these do not only threaten marine ecosystems but also human well-being, including but not limited to coastal communities and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

The concept of a ‘blue economy’ was brought up throughout the meeting, an indication of it’s increasing relevance as a credible alternative. Andrew Hudson detailed several “Blue Economy” measures, such as a blue carbon financing mechanism, which could be the cornerstone of the Blue Economy implementation.

Many speakers, including Dr. Biliana Cicin-Sain and Ambassador Gary Quinlan, emphasised and applauded the prominence of the ocean in the Zero Draft input and negotiating text for Rio+20. A growing concensus on the importance of taking ocean issues into account has emerged in recent negotiations. Yet, Maria Teresa Mesquita Pessôa underlined that ‘everything is still on table’ and panellists agreed on the need to sustain efforts in order to achieve a solid outcome. Mr. Vladimir Jares and Ambassador Gary Quinlan urged participants to look again at previously agreed commitments, many of which have not been achieved. This demonstrates the critical need to agree on measurable targets, ensuring that commitments are met.

Roughly 100 representatives of governments, intergovernmental organizations, NGOs and academia participated in the discussions. The success of the side event shows the extent of the concerns raised by ocean-related issues. The wide range of speakers described the Rio+20 process as a unique opportunity to move forward on these issues, which the global community cannot afford to miss.
