Ice Climbing in Norway with WIll Gadd
World class ice climber Will Gadd journeys to the titanic ice of Norway to establish new routes and learn first hand the hard ethics first established by Henry Barber in the 1970s.
The massive ice climb we would call Sketchy Fossen shuddered like a beast and let out a deep, territorial growl. This behemoth of an icicle shifted down an inch, but I couldn't tell if that was the beginning of its terminal separation from the rock wall or just a touch of stress relief. Either way, I didn't settle. I felt like a mouse climbing the leg of an elephant, my tools and crampons little claws digging in. Is it better, I wondered, for the mouse to jump off or wait for the elephant to roll over? My mind slid sideways. A red light flashed and the mental intercom sounded: "I hope you've enjoyed this interlude, Will, but it's now time to climb again."
I tottered up the pitch and built an anchor. When Andreas, one of Norway's leading ice climbers, arrived at the belay, he stated flatly, "That was difficult." I could barely squeak a response. Some days you're a man, some days you're a mouse. Norwegian ice climbing brought out both in me.
2002: Rjukan, Hemsedal, Recon
The three best new-routing trips of my life started with an e-mail from Norway local Andreas Spak about an ice festival he was running in the small town of Rjukan. I was skeptical. I had imagined Norway as a land where bark-eating telemark skiers fall randomly down gentle hills. I dug around, but the only information I could find about Rjukan was the movie The Heroes of Telemark, in which an Aryan Kirk Douglas kicks Nazi ass while seducing the local women. The story, as I later found out, is mostly true. Apparently, in the early 1940s, Rjukan had a hydroelectric station that converted regular water into heavy water, a substance potentially useful for winning the WWII race to build an atomic bomb. The Germans invaded Norway and seized the station, but their nuclear ambitions were thwarted by intrepid local saboteurs. Over the years I've learned that any place with hydroelectric power and cold weather is a good bet for ice climbing—Ouray and Bridalveil Falls in Colorado are prime examples—due to the combination of water and steep terrain. I bought my ticket.
After only 16 hours of travel (I sometimes drive more to climb "locally" in North America), I arrived at the Rjukan Ice Festival and promptly deposited myself at the bottom of Krokan, a 400-foot-deep canyon smeared with ice. Within 10 minutes I was soloing a beautiful four-pitch line up a series of steps to finish at a huge power plant. The route, Saboteur, was named after the Rjukan heroes.
I learned a lot about Norwegians during the festival. For one, their Viking heritage makes them tough. When temperatures plunged to -25, I wanted to cancel my clinic, but it seemed poor form when mothers were still cheerfully pushing their kids around on toboggans. Second, everyone is a brute, but, fortunately, they are seriously friendly. Third, the theory that taxing the hell out of alcohol will reduce consumption is seriously flawed.
After the festival, Andreas and I piled into his car to begin our tour of the fjords of west-central Norway.
Over the years, I've done a lot of climbing with Andreas. In fact, I have spent more time tied into a rope with him than anyone else. We've explored ice-filled mines in Sweden, dangled in the Cineplex in Canada, and done three tough trips in Norway. Andreas is a mix of computer programmer, hardcore music fan (don't mess with the "hardcores" in Norway or they'll burn down your church), married father of two, an excellent ice climber but lousy driver who putts along at numbingly slow speeds.
For this trip, I decided I'd spare myself and drive. I immediately took the car up to 130 kilometers per hour (80 mph).
"Um, the speed limit in Norway is 80, maximum," said Andreas. "Do you know how much a ticket is going to cost for 130 kilometers per hour? About 40,000 Kroner!"
"Pesos, Kroner, what's the difference?" I asked.
"About $6,000," Andreas said.
I muttered about socialist nanny states under my breath and slowed down. We were driving along an excellent and perfectly straight road across the area's dominant geographical feature, the Hardangervidda plateau, 2,500 square miles of expanse situated between 3,000 and 4,500 feet. The plateau, the largest in Europe, receives a tremendous amount of snow—this was the birthplace of telemark skiing and the successful polar explorer Roald Amundsen trained here. The snow that melts, feeding thousands of lakes, rivers, streams, seeps and flows before spilling over the fjords and valleys.
If you were to customize an area for ice climbing (or making electricity, which Norwegians use in epic quantities as a sort of birthright, much like Americans' relationship to gas), you couldn't craft a better venue than the Hardangervidda. As we descended from the plateau and into a fjord, blue ice flashed off the imposing walls. "Is that climbed? It must be!" I asked.
"I don't think so," Andreas replied. "It's a long walk and there's better stuff farther."
As I found out, there was always "better stuff" a little farther, and for two full days we saw enough ice to satiate generations of climbers. I keep searching for analogies to put the bounty I saw into perspective, but all I can say is that if you climb ice, you need to quit your job and move to Norway. Just some friendly advice.
Before you give notice, though, there are some difficult economic realities a visiting North American should know about. For example, Norway actually has a balanced budget that makes the Norwegian Kroner the world's strongest currency. A snack and soda at a gas station will set you back $10. A Red Bull is $5—I know, I bought 12. A roll of duct tape is $15. Gas is $8 a gallon. Alcohol? Best to fill your duffel bag at the duty free before heading over.
There are two strategies for dealing with the high cost. You can ignore the exchange rate until the credit card bill arrives, or rent a hut, which every town seems to have and which you can book through the tourist offices. The first time I stayed in a hut I was impressed: Rations for three days consisted of a huge cooler of hot dogs, some weird flat bread and loads of beer. I never saw anyone eat anything but hot dogs or drink anything but water and beer. Impressive, and instructive for the visiting ice climber.
The Big Bang of world-class Norwegian climbing happened in 1977 when the well-traveled and talented American team of Henry Barber and Rob Taylor visited Norway on a hunch. Barber had been researching the world's tallest waterfalls. The tallest, Angel Falls, was in the jungle of Venezuela, but another, the Mardasfossen in Norway, seemed promising. However, when Barber mentioned it to a Norwegian climber, he laughed—the falls had been drained for hydroelectric power. Undeterred, Barber continued looking and found the 330-meter Vettisfossen in a book on Norwegian waterfalls. When Barber, then at the height of his formidable climbing ability, and Taylor arrived to see the fall firsthand, "I almost shit my pants," says Barber. The next day, he and Taylor climbed the jewel, Barber using a wood-shafted 70-centimeter Chouinard piolet (climbers today might use such an axe on flat glaciers) and a Chouinard North Wall Hammer, essentially a big-wall hammer with a long pick and a few teeth. Taylor used Pteradactyls, which to our modern eyes look like a fat steak knife crossbred with a ping-pong paddle.
Of the climb, Barber says that there was "water running full-force behind the ice that was a scant 10 to 14 inches thick. The roar of the water behind the ice, says Barber, "sounded like a freight train." Further, when they placed screws, "Water would come shooting out like a fire hydrant, then it would all freeze up in about 45 seconds. Amazing place!"
After the Vettisfossen, Barber and Taylor made another half-dozen first ascents, barely scratching the surface of the hundreds of routes they saw, some with hundreds of meters of vertical ice followed by hundreds of meters of slabby flows. Norway, says Barber, made Canada's big routes seem almost inconsequential.
Thirty years later, locals still talk about Barber and Taylor, and have maintained a high climbing standard ever since, although climbing styles are strongly regional and can be difficult for a visitor to figure out. On my first trip to Norway I did the second ascent of Fission, an M8+ in Rjukan. The top half of the climb was then on excellent natural gear up a perfect crack. A crowd of locals and visitors started debating how good the gear was as I clipped the top anchor. I said it was fine, no need for bolts. There was disagreement so I jumped and took a clean 25-footer from the anchor onto the bomber gear. Still not satisfied, the locals later retro-bolted the route. Turns out it was the only one in the canyon to require gear, and was simply bolted to keep things consistent.
But it gets weirder: In 2009, the Swiss climber Robert Jasper and friends climbed a couple of huge new mixed routes near Gudvangen, a town along the E-16 fjord highway. Andreas and I had looked at both lines, but decided they would take more bolts than we wanted to place, so we kept driving. After the climbs were bolted by Jasper, one of Norway's climbing clubs took offense and said that the climbs, "did not meet the Norwegian standards of climbing in good style."
I got sucked into the resulting international debate, as did Andreas who, in keeping with his hardcore music beliefs, threw some explosive gasoline on a very small fire when he told Jasper that he "should tell them to fuck off and mind their own business." Jasper pleaded ignorance, and the world press had a field day reporting the various slams and slanders.
Despite the hubbub, none of the Norwegians I've corresponded or climbed with have said much of anything—it's hard to get worked up over 20 bolts in a fjord that has tunnels bored through the walls, concrete dams, and a truly inexhaustible supply of ice and mixed routes along an endless coastline.
After one too many of Andreas' "there's better ice down the road" remarks, I parked in a ditch in the valley of Laerda, a typical Norwegian region sprinkled with wooden homes, lots of street lights, a stave (nailless) church dating from the 1100s, and a population of just over 2,000. Fueled by sheer ice lust, we exploded out the doors. We hiked an easy 30 minutes to the start of a glimmering flow that from the road had looked like it would present a quick solo of about 150 feet to the steeper, longer business. In a pattern that would often repeat itself in Norway, the short opening step of easy ice was vertical, poorly bonded and a good 500 feet high. Also in a pattern that would repeat itself during the brief eight-hour Norwegian days, darkness caught us on a ledge four pitches up. I wanted to keep going, but Andreas suggested that climbing hard ice in the dark wasn't prudent. I argued that cavers operate in the dark all the time, but Andreas' sensibilities prevailed.
The next day, darkness again caught us but this time we were just one pitch from the top. Inexplicably, Andreas suddenly swore that it was now OK to keep climbing, and we finished what is still one of the finest ice routes I've ever done, Fokus, 1,650 feet of crazy-fun ice.
Two days later we battled up another big route with a short difficult mixed section where I suddenly became the rodent on the frozen elephant. Andreas was sure our route, Morke Mannen, was an FA but we were about to become FAN (First Ascent, Not!) victims.
There is still no comprehensive guidebook to Norwegian ice, and the multi-lingual confusion of the various nationalities who frequent the country has led to some major new routes receiving two or more "First Ascents." After we climbed Morke Mannen I put a brief post up on my blog. A few months later Guy Lacelle e-mailed me with the brief comment, "I think we did that route five years ago. It was nice."
Guy was a good friend—a good enough friend that I knew he, the ice purist, hadn't climbed the M8 portion that we had bolted. I asked him about it and he said, "Oh, we climbed the trees and moss on the side and then walked back in on a ledge." Cunning.
Today, if you're on a new line in Norway and find a sling or old rap station and aren't sure who left it there, just assume it was Canada's Guy Lacelle, Norway's talented Marius Olsen, Austria's Harri Berger, Germany's Robert Jasper or some super tough local Norwegian farmer (seriously) you've never heard of. To a Norwegian, a beautiful four-pitch line is as ubiquitous as a Volvo. The local attitude is as relaxed as your head will be after a few belts of aquavit, the local brew distilled from potatos and caraway seeds. There is just too much ice for anyone to get hung up on who did the first ascent.
For argument's sake, let's assume that the average fjord in western Norway sports 100 guidebook-worthy lines. Most of the development so far has concentrated on the multi-pitch, vertical flows, and even then perhaps only 10 lines in each fjord have been climbed and only 10 percent of the terrain has been visited. Then consider that there are 3,000 to 4,000 fjords, plus the interior valleys. You do the math. If you lead WI 7+ (all hard ice climbs are now WI 7+ it seems), countless routes await you, but the greatest opportunity for FAs are in the WI 1 to WI 5 range.
2007: Eidfjord, the Promised Land
In 2007 I was back in Norway. Andreas and I drove 30 minutes out of Eidfjord, a town where three major valleys come together, and I started screaming. The "biggest waterfall in Europe," Voringfossen, is a 10-minute walk from the car and to be sure you find it, a sign reads, "To the waterfall." Yet it's the gorge below Voringfossen that holds the goods, a glutinous quantity of frozen treats. Five full-length raps down grade IV ice, which as far as I know is still unclimbed, deposited us in the bottom of the canyon.
Andreas and I ticked off three beautiful new routes and failed on several others. On one, I led 70 meters of vertical, sun-rotted ice only to find the three-foot-thick ice at the end of the pitch too weak to hold a screw. I down-climbed the pitch, pulling the ice screws I'd placed out by hand. That experience is the single stupidest thing I've ever done. But how can you say no to a route that beams 800 feet straight up?
When at last I got back to the belay, Andreas, in stoic Norwegian style said, "Will, what do you think? Maybe we could not do that again? "
2010: Back to Eidfjord. Freaky Fossen
In 2009 I got it into my head that it would be fun to climb for 24 hours straight and raise money for the dZi Foundation, an organization that sponsors community projects in Himalayan India and Nepal. At Ouray's 2010 Ice Festival, I climbed about 25,500 feet from noon January 9 to noon the next day. When I arrived in Norway a month later, I had already climbed more than 500 pitches of ice that season, and felt pretty much invincible.
After a good day of new routing I was drinking a beer in the Eidfjord Hotel and surfing the Internet. Skrikjofossen popped up on the list of "Biggest Waterfalls." I asked Andreas about it, but he didn't know anything. The map showed that it was less than an hour away. OK, then, let's go climb it.
The next morning we had to slam on the brakes in the middle of the road when we saw the blue monster hanging in two tiers above the town of Lofthus. "Fossen" is Norwegian for "waterfall." Who knows what Skrik means, but we immediately started calling it Freaky Fossen—it seemed to fit the look.
Much of the initial climbing involved clawing through tentacles of five to 10-foot icicles dangling below massive mushrooms. I had to stand to the side on insecure ice with bad protection, knock a few icicles down, which inevitably meant getting smacked with a few baseball bats, move into my cleared area, climb a foot or two then smack more icicles down, and repeat for hundreds of feet. Fortunately the belays were protected in apartment-sized caves with flat floors. At one belay I traversed about 30 feet, then climbed to a big roof and started cleaning. One larger-than-normal dangler hooked its frozen tendril on the rope between my first screw and the belay; it broke off and rocketed toward Andreas.
He got pounded hard. After he could breathe again he said, "Will, what do you think? Could we please not do that again?"
It took two tries before Andreas and I got up the last pitch. We had been fighting hard all day, and were hopeful that the final pitch would offer one-stick blue ice to the top of the plateau. I started upward with confidence—and retreated in seconds. The icicles didn't so much explode as vaporize. Normally I would just dig until I hit solid ice, but if I beat on the ice here, I broke straight through the free-standing pillar and out the other side. It was like a 150-foot pillar of broken bottles and smashed wine glasses. I swung again at the crystalline mess, but couldn't see how to climb it, much less protect it. It seemed criminal to smash the clear icicles, like deliberately taking my ice tools to a glass sculpture. Retreat suddenly sounded OK, and if I were on the first pitch I would have. But not 1,500 feet up.
Staring at the ice was like peering into a Rorschach blot, and I figured that if I looked long enough, a hidden solution to the unclimbable ice would appear. My friend Sonnie Trotter once said about crack climbing, "I climb rock, not the spaces between the rock."
I couldn't climb the ice because it was simply too fragile, so what about the spaces? I started finger-jamming slots too delicate to hook, and pinching slippery columns. The tension ate at me. Once again I was a mouse riding a behemoth, but this is what I love about ice climbing—just when I think the beast is going to get the best of me, I find something new. The picks started sticking. The spindrift swept away the tacky fear as I built a belay in the darkness.
Andreas cleaned the pitch and called it an, "insanely steep, death-pillar-hell, monster of an ice route." I agreed.
Freaky Fossen prompted a long talk with many friends about ice grades. I've since decided that rating ice climbs above grade 5 is about as accurate and worthwhile as rating whitewater, and that egos are part of the equation. Ratings are for technical difficulty, but ice climbing and surfing are more about a wild experience. The hardest waterfall ice climbs get their ratings not for physical difficulty but for what is going on inside the leader's head. How do you rate emotion? Does a Grade 7 become a 5 after two ascents? Certainly, if someone were to go up and do the second ascent of Freaky Fossen with the icicle clearing done, it would be a lot easier. And what does a rating mean when somebody could go and do it next year and find the ice formed completely differently?
Kayakers have given up on rating difficult rivers—they just tell a story and show a photo. I could rate Freaky Fossen WI 7+ as this is a magazine article and it's expected, but it would be a meaningless grade. I'll just go with Andreas' description and Christian Pondella's photos and let you judge.

Prince Philip of England's upbringing was far from normal. He was born June 10, 1921, on a kitchen table on the Greek island of Corfu in a house that had no electricity, hot water, or indoor plumbing. The only son and fifth and final child of Princess Alice of Battenberg and Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark was christened Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark. The platinum blond toddler learned sign language to communicate with his deaf mother.
Prince Philip of Greece's father was a professional soldier in the Greek Army. With the Greek defeat in Asia Minor in 1922, Prince Andrew was accused of treason; he was tried, convicted, and jailed and faced possible execution by firing squad. Princess Alice (known as Princess Andrew to English speakers) appealed to her British relative, King George V, for help. Remembering what had happened to his Russian cousin the Tsar when he had refused his cry for rescue, the King quickly dispatched the HMS Calypso to remove Andrew, his wife, their four daughters, and Baby Philip from Greece. Prince Andrew boarded the ship carrying his 18-month-old son in an orange crate. They sailed for France.
For the next eight years, Prince Philip's family lived in exile in Paris. Philip learned to speak English, French, and German, but no Greek. His family was royal – but not rich – and depended upon the charity of relatives and friends to feed, house, clothe, and educate them while in exile from their mother country.
In 1930-31, the family fell completely apart. All four of Philip's sisters, who were educated in Germany, married German noblemen and moved to Germany. Then Prince Andrew abandoned his wife and Philip and ran off to live with his mistress on her yacht anchored in the Mediterranean off Monte Carlo where Andrew quickly became addicted to the gaming tables.
Philip's mother collapsed under the strain. She suffered a nervous breakdown and was institutionalized in Switzerland at the famed Bellevue Sanatorium. That left little Philip all alone in Paris, with no one to care for him. He was only nine.
Philip was then sent to England to be cared for by his maternal grandmother. But then she died. Next he moved in with his Uncle George, who, by 1938, was dead also. Philip was 17 at the time.
Then another of his maternal uncles, Lord Louis Mountbatten, British sea lord and the last Viceroy of India stepped in and took Philip under his wing. "Uncle Dickie" took an intense interest in his promising nephew. He made grand plans for him.
Even though Philip was a Greek citizen, Uncle Dickie pulled a few strings so that Philip could join the Royal Navy as a midshipman. Then Uncle Dickie began to pave the way for Philip to marry the future Queen of England. In 1939, he arranged for Philip to entertain King George VI's two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, while the King and Queen Elizabeth toured Dartmouth Naval College.
When Princess Elizabeth met Philip, she was only 13. She fell head-over-heels in love with the tall, handsome, and athletic young man. The two became pen pals and wrote constantly to one another during the next six years of world war. He celebrated the Christmas of 1943 with her and her family at their Scottish estate, Balmoral. The press hailed the romance as the love match of the century.
It was no surprise when, on July 9, 1947, the Palace announced that Prince Philip of Greece and Princess Elizabeth of Great Britain were officially engaged. Philip was 26; Elizabeth, 21. The wedding was set for November 20, 1947, at Westminster Abbey. The King and Queen were not wild about the idea of Elizabeth marrying before the age of 25, but it didn't matter what they wanted. Elizabeth wanted Philip and she was going to have him.
Buckingham Palace shifted into high gear planning the royal wedding:
"This was not simple a marriage ceremony, but an affair of state that would focus world attention on the British monarchy. Consequently the King and Queen told him [Prince Philip] that his sisters and their German husbands, some of whom had supported Hitler's Third Reich, could not possibly be included. So they remained in Germany and listened to the service on the radio." (1)
Still focused on the guest list, the Queen addressed the issue of Philip's mother, Princess Andrew, whom she considered "pleasant but odd." Although Philip's mother had had nothing to do with Philip since he was 9, Princess Andrew had nevertheless been quite busy while others raised her son. After several years of Swiss therapy in the early 1930s, she had rejoined society and taken up charitable works. During WWII, she saved a Jewish family named Cohen from being sent to the death camp by sheltering them in her Greek home.
After the war, Princess Andrew founded a religious order called the Christian Sisterhood of Martha and Mary dedicated to helping the sick and the needy in Greece. Princess Andrew became a nun, taking a vow of celibacy, although she had born 5 children. She had a habit – a nun's habit – that she wore all the time. It consisted of a drab gray robe, white wimple, cord, and rosary beads. She was commonly referred to as "Sister Andrew."
Queen Elizabeth was understandably terrified that Princess Andrew would show up at the wedding at Westminster Abbey wearing her nun's habit and embarrassing the family in a large way. The Queen pressed the issue with Philip. As a result, Princess Andrew appeared at her son's wedding wearing a demure hat and a simple silk dress, which the Queen later described as "very pretty and most appropriate."
Six years later King George VI was dead. Elizabeth and Philip returned to Westminster Abbey for Elizabeth to be crowned Queen.
The coronation was held on June 2, 1953 and televised, at Elizabeth's request, so that all her subjects could see her crowned. Twenty million viewers watched the seven-hour BBC-TV marathon. The ceremony began as the guests began their stately procession down the long aisle of Westminster Abbey, ahead of the Queen, to take their seats.
Prince Philip's mother was among the guests. She turned heads as she processed up the aisle wearing a long grey dress and a flowing head-dress that looked remarkably like a nun's habit! She had had it especially made for the coronation.
Princess Andrew died at Buckingham Palace in 1969. According to her wishes, she was buried in Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. On October 31, 1994, Princess Andrew's two surviving children, Prince Philip and Sophie, Princess George of Hanover, went to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial, in Jerusalem to witness a ceremony honouring their mother. Princess Andrew was called "Righteous among the Nations" for having hidden a Jewish family in her home in Athens during WWII.

James Kassay Gets FA of Wheel of Life Direct, Australia
A little more than a year ago, after years of projecting, James Kassay, 27, of Australia, repeated Dai Koyamada's 65+-move-monster The Wheel of Life.
A little more than a year ago, after years of projecting, James Kassay, 27, of Australia, repeated Dai Koyamada's 65+-move-monster The Wheel of Life in the Hollow Mountain Cave, Grampians, Australia. Not content with this, he kept working on his ultimate goal, The Direct; and now, he has done it.
Kassay wrote on Facebook: "I have, for as long as I can remember, had a personal goal with my climbing… To start at the lowest point of hollow mountain cave; climb Extreme Cool, Sleepy Hollow, Cave Man and then to finish up left on Dead Can't Dance which is the highest point of the cave … Today it has become a reality! I just did the first ascent of The Wheel of life DIRECT!!! Personally it is one of the most amazing achievements of my climbing career!"
"My first real climbing experience was at a kids' club run at the local climbing gym," Kassay writes on his web site. "I won a bottle of Coke, a chocolate bar and a chalk bag … I was hooked for life!"
Now 17 years after he began his climbing career, he is managing his family's climbing gym, and trying to see just how far he can push his limits.
Kassay told UKClimbing, "I'm not even going to begin speculating about a grade on this thing, so let's just say it's most likely harder than the original, which has been suggested to be anything from 8B+ (V14) to 8C+ (V16) as a boulder and 9a (5.14d) to 9a+ (5.15a) as a route."
Hats off for James who has succeeded on a lifetime goal!

System recommendations are harder to do than most people think, but we've diligently worked to keep our guides up-to-date with the most mouth-watering hardware. Last time, we went 64-bit across the board. This time? Readon...
But reader beware: we're not going to just choose the cheapest stuff or the best stuff and throw it together and call it a system (as many "recommenders" are wont to do). Rather, our guides are meant to reflect real world issues. For example, we'll tally up prices for you based on what we glean from our own online comparison shopping engine, not vendors that we have special deals with, or even worse, MSRPs. Real-world prices, baby.
And, of course, this is Ars Technica. We are not concerned with what you should be buying your 500-person company for your next mass upgrade. These are the systems that we, your fellow enthusiasts, either have, plan to have, or would love desperately to have. :-) We know how you think, 'cause we think that way, too.
The criteria
Now, when recommending products, you've got to take two main factors into account: available funds and performance. Some lucky bastards have unlimited funds; some have to pinch every penny. Most of us are somewhere in between. So, when you say something is the "best thing out there," it's important to ask, "Best for whom?" In recognition of this fact, our recommendations come in the form of three hypothetical computers.
God Box (June 2005)
At the top, there's the God Box. This is for the guy who has just won the lottery, or whose company is funding the purchase (same thing). Of course, this doesn't imply adding stuff for the hell of it. Even on this spec, we don't want to be wasting money. It will be, however, generally beyond the range of mere mortals.
Hot Rod (June 2005)
Next, there's the Hot Rod. This one's been juiced up, but with limited funds. Think of the auto hobbyist. He may not buy the fastest car out there, but he does the best he can with what he's got. Likewise, the Hot Rod is going to be based on a price/performance ratio, a.k.a. best bang for the buck. It's also going to be a system that almost anyone can build. Rather than cook up some mineral-oil soaked, refrigerator-powered machine, we've set out to bring power users systems that will rock without having to be tweaked to extremes. Extreme tweaking is cool, but it's not the purpose of this recommendation.
Budget Box (June 2005)
If you're trying to build on the cheap, we've got your answer: the Budget Box. This puppy is dedicated to finding the cheapest options possible while still giving you full functionality (for example, we might recommend a cheaper 2D/3D solution, but never an S3 Virge). The Budget Box may sound cheap, but it's not. It's simply inexpensive jet power.
So how do we define performance? Well, it depends on a lot of things, and can change from day to day. Benchmarks are important, but so are quality issues. Is the video crisp? Is the sound realistic? For each component, we'll try to tell you what factors led to us choosing it. You may disagree. If so, we'd love to hear about it. Maybe you'll even make us change our minds... Maybe. Keep an eye out to see what we put in these systems, and stop by often, 'cause they'll be updated.

Special Note for 1.7+ Ops Manager Deployments
All release lines of Ops Manager 1.7 and up include a feature that allows tile stemcells to "float", which lets Operators update their Ops Manager deployment once rather than installing all new Services product releases. If you upgrade one Service tile in Ops Manager with the newly released stemcell, all tiles with the "float" enabled will automatically upgrade. For more information about the floating stemcell feature, refer to this document.

Create a Winter Bird Buffet
Winter cookies
These "cookies" add color to your backyard as well as food for birds.To make this project: Coat peanut butter on the fronts and backs of seasonal wooden cutouts bought from a crafts store. Press dried cranberries and seeds, such as niger, sunflowers and mixed birdseed, into the peanut butter and hang.
Corn triangle
Tie ears of miniature corn end-to-end to form a small triangle, using one ear each of red, yellow and blue-black. Raffia ties them to shepherd's hooks or pine trees.
Birdbath wreath
Serve fresh water from a wreath-adorned heated birdbath.To make this project: Place an electric heated birdbath pan inside the basin of your existing birdbath and run a heavy-duty exterior extension cord to an outlet. Make or buy a wire-frame wreath of mixed greens to encircle the top edge. The wreath will probably be heavy enough to perch there unaided, but you can use wire to secure it. Natural ornaments such as tan wheat and oat sprigs, red rose hips and blue juniper berries add texture and color plus can be eaten by birds. Change the water every day or two and make sure it's no deeper than 2 to 3 inches.
Appealing apple cup
This outdoor decoration is easy enough for children to handle after an adult uses a knife to hollow out a bowl inside the apple.To make this project: Insert four nails evenly spaced about halfway down the side, leaving the nailheads out about a quarter-inch from the skin. Mix birdseed with enough peanut butter to evenly coat the seeds. Spoon the mixture into the apple cup. Cut four equal lengths of raffia (about 14 to 16 inches long) and attach one string to each nail. Tie the ends together at the top to hang from a tree or hook.
Seed swag
Gather the materials for this door or gate decoration on a winter walk in the woods.To make this project: Take a hike to find a grove of sumacs. Cut the dark coral seedheads, leaving 14 to 16 inches of stalk on each. From your garden (or ask your green-thumb neighbor for help) cut the spiky brown seedheads of coneflowers (Echinacea), leaving stalks 10 to 12 inches long. Be careful, as the seeds may be brittle and fall off. Add stalks of oats and amaranth for a change of texture and color. Arrange in a pleasing pattern of varying stalk lengths, then tie with raffia and hang from a gate or door.
Topiary towers
Can't find a grapevine topiary tower? You can use the same technique to decorate a grapevine wreath or any other shape.To make this project: Place grapevine topiary towers atop matching urns. String cranberries and popped popcorn to wrap around the topiaries as garlands. Using a hot-glue gun, attach sprigs of seed heads such as millet, wheat and oats. Finish the top with a star crimped from speaker wire.
Bountiful basket
Hang this basket from a garage side door, on a shed wall or on a fence where birds can easily reach it.To make this project: Select a natural grapevine wall basket. (It should be flat-sided with a handle so it can hang on a wall.) Fill the pocket with the rigid foam used by florists for dried flower arrangements. Tuck in stems of natural materials with seeds that birds will eat, such as sprays of millet, broom corn and sumac. Add dried leaves, curly sprigs of bittersweet and bits of evergreen for color.

Every time I think of Israel's premiere food manufacturer, their old radio jingle immediately comes to mind: Zeh tov, zeh tov, zeh Osem! (It's good, it's good, it's OSEM!). The company says the name OSEM was chosen because it was part of the Kohen Godol's prayer on Yom Kippur: "May this be a year of osem." The prayer asks for a year of plenty, a year of abundance, of prosperity and wealth. Today OSEM is the leading food producing company in Israel and it is majority owned (51%) by Nestlé S.A. of Switzerland.
I strongly suspect that since "osem" sounds a lot like the average Israeli's pronunciation of the English word awesome it may just have something to do with the name choice, unless… unless… it's an OSEM coincidence… of course.
The company was founded in 1942, 6 years before the establishment of the State in 1948. OSEM whose products have long been available in the US, has now introduced some new Passover items. They make Shmurah, Regular, Whole Wheat, Egg, Egg & Onion, Rye and Light Matzah, Matzhah Ball Mix, Matzah Farfel (regular and whole wheat), Matzah Meal (regular and whole wheat), Matzah Cake Mix and three different flavors of Chocolate Covered Matzah (Raspberry, Orange and Plain). Other kosher for Passover products include two of Israel's most cherished children's food products: Bamba (for those who eat kitnyiot only!), and all of Bisli's 6 flavors. They also make non-gebroks Soup Croutons, Pickles in Vinegar and Chik Chak Twisted Marshmallows.
This week I got 5 of their products…
Two of my grandkids were visiting and they wasted no time disposing of both the Bamba and the Bissli (just as I expected), they were disappointed there was only one bag of each. Their verdict was quite obvious when these bona fide kids' snacks connoisseurs screamed out in unison: "More, zeyde, more!"
I found the Marble Cake very moist and flavorful, it also didn't last long; the Orange Flavored Chocolate Coated Matzah was interesting. Over Shabbat I'll savor the croutons. Meanwhile, I can't wait to taste their Shmurah Matzah on Pessach
I liked these products, they just might become Pessach staples.

The 'International Burn a Quran Day' drama that has been played out in the United States in the weeks running up to the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks has sparked of outrage around the world. I have been tempted to post some thoughts on this for several days and I have now decided to do so. The three links below are to articles dealing with the story in the United States as published at The Christian Post. These are meant to show some of the thoughts on this subject being broadcast (I do not necessarily agree with everything in them).
I cannot see anything positive being gained by the burning of Qurans on any particular day from a Christian perspective. The only thing that would be achieved is to create further tension between Christians and Muslims, and between the West and Islam. I believe it would only achieve an increase in hostility towards the West and Christianity in particular. There would certainly be no profit gained as far as winning Muslims over to Christianity through such actions, only a further wedge between the two religions.
Having said the above, I do find it hypocritical of many in Islamic circles and countries, who have no problem in burning Bibles and persecuting Christians. When the shoe is on the other foot they like to whine about being hard done by and being discriminated against. The evidence is clear, as presented in the many articles on this Blog, that Islamists are constantly burning Bibles, destroying places of Christian worship and persecuting Christians even to death. Please spare me the self-righteous outrage of Islamists – they are hypocrites.
Again, I do not wish to condemn all Muslims in the above comments relating to Islamic extremists. Not all Muslims behave in the same manner and there are many who find it foolish and wrong to burn Bibles, destroy places of Christian worship and persecute Christians. However, there is a growing scourge that is Islamic extremism.
I believe in freedom of religion, as much for Muslims as for Christians. Quite obviously as a Christian I believe that Christianity is the right religion and I make no apologies for that. I expect Muslims would say the same thing about Islam and they are free to say so. Why would you believe it if you stand by it? One day we will all need to give an account of our positions, but that is neither to me nor to any Muslim.
I also believe that both faiths have a right to non-violent missionary activity, without the forceful coercion of others to adopt their position. Where we stand before God is where we stand before God and it is to him that we must give an account.
I have no problem with a mosque being built in the same suburb as me – though I would expect that extremism would be stamped out should it break the laws of the land. I do however think it is insensitive to build a mosque close by the scene of one of the greatest acts of murder known in modern day history, which was perpetrated by Islamic extremists. Surely commonsense and decency needs to prevail here. Sure, it may be OK in the land of the free and all of that sort of thing, but have some regard for the many thousands of people who still suffer grief over the evil that was committed 9 hears ago.
Anyhow, just a few thoughts.

Paintings, Prints and Wall Pictures
Even if you live in an open-concept loft, your home has walls. Otherwise, you would be living outside! There are exceptions, of course, but as a general rule of thumb, walls are functional for defining different rooms of a home. They're not typically inspiring, fun or pretty. You can change that with thoughtfully selected wall art!
You could drive from store to store looking for wall art décor. Or, you can shop from the comfort of home on our site, where you'll find a diverse array of wall art, paintings, prints and photography to decorate any space and appeal to any taste. You'll be able to look directly at the walls you wish to adorn as you shop, which will unquestionably spark home décor ideas you wouldn't come up with in a brick-and-mortar store. And, believe us, beautifying your walls can be much more creative than hanging a single framed canvas in the center of a wall.
For example, on-trend wall art ideas include: grouping similar framed wall art to spell out the first letter of your name or to create the shape of a heart. Or a cross. Another fun wall art idea for dog (or cat) lovers is to group whimsical pet-themed canvases (and you'll find many to choose from on our site!) The only real rule is that there are no rules except that you must love the final result!
Wall paintings are one-of-a-kind works of art that will add elegance to your home décor. Paintings can make a bold statement - especially in a large room that demands large wall art to fill a space. If your décor is modern and your floor plan is open, consider hanging a giant abstract painting in your living room. Modern décor is typically minimalist. So go bold with one large, eye-catching painting. Paintings can also be subtle. A small painting of a nature scene can add serenity to a small bedroom or bathroom.
Another popular wall-art category is prints. You'll find modern wall art prints, canvas wall art with inspirational quotes and prints with unique textures and graphics. If you're looking to add whimsy to a child's room or playroom, consider grouping colorful prints of varying sizes. From the kitchen to the laundry room, you'll find prints with themes that will energize even those spaces that many people overlook when decorating.
Wall Pictures
Photography is another way to make a dynamic, compelling statement with framed wall art. There's something intriguing about viewing an authentic image of a real person, place or object. Photography has the power to elicit raw emotions in its viewers. If you're passionate about a place or an idea, it belongs in your home. And, framed photos will do justice to your passion.

It seems that God, or more correctly disbelief in God, sells books. In recent years anyway. Perhaps since the religiously motivated terrorist attacks in New York nine years ago this week.
So one can hardly blame the publishers for jumping on to the advertising bandwagon with Stephen Hawking's latest book The Grand Design (with co-author Leonard Mlodinow). And I am sure that is what has lead to headlines like Stephen Hawking: God NOT Needed For Creation, Stephen Hawking: God didn't create universe, Hawking Says God Not Needed to Kick-Start Big Bang; World Freaks Out. Even Somebody's Going To Hell! Stephen Hawking: "God Not Necessary For Universe To Exist".
Inevitable advertising hype.
Theological response boosts sales
But perhaps we can blame the inevitable theological response. Or at least point out that they are cutting off their collective noses to spite their faces. The emotional theological campaign against Richard Dawkins and his book The God Delusion published in 2006 helped boost it up the best seller list. And also assisted the flow-on effect of increasing sales of his other books like The Selfish Gene.
So the apparently inevitable theological response to Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow looks set to make their new book a runaway best seller. Who was it that said – those who don't learn from history are set to repeat their mistakes?
Already we have headlines like Archbishop of Canterbury hits back after Stephen Hawking insists God did NOT create the Universe. The Archbishop boldly declared: "Physics on its own will not settle the question of why there is something rather than nothing." (It will be interesting to compare his 'evidence' for this claim with the evidence for Hawking and Mlodinow's claim in their book).
Britian's Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks asserted: "Science is about explanation. Religion is about interpretation… The Bible simply isn't interested in how the universe came into being." And Vincent Nichols, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, added: "I would totally endorse what the Chief Rabbi said so eloquently about the relationship between religion and science." One wonders why they then get so upset becuase science sets about to explain things like this? Surely they should get busy with their "interpretation" rather than object to the explanation.
To complete the lineup Ibrahim Mogra, an imam and committee chairman at the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "If we look at the universe and all that has been created, it indicates that somebody has been here to bring it into existence. That somebody is the almighty conqueror." He (I am assuming not she) is clearly not going to be worried about the evidence.
The book is being released this week and I can already hear the cash registers ringing.
I am the last person to support or attack a book without reading it. And I am not going to join the inevitable ranks of reviewers who are going to post critical reviews based only on the reading of the books tile or headlines and news reports. However, the extracts that have been included in press reports suggest the degree of "poetic license" being used by the publishers, and the hypersensitivity of the theological critics. The relevant quote (from the London Times) was:
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking writes.
"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
Rather tame, isn't it? Surely there is nothing new in that.
My impression is that the book describes how we can develop theories for the formation of our universe, and the authors give their preference to "M-theory." (He does make clear that "Unlike the answer given in Douglas Adam's 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'," they are not supporting "42.") This will not be to every physicists liking but it does demonstrate that one does not need to bring in theology to explain such things.
Philosophy is dead
A few reviewers have read pre-publication versions of the book have some interesting comments at the Amazon site. One comments that the book made a convincing argument that old-time philosophy had become irrelevant in such areas. Memoiai says:
"philosophy is dead in the sense of answering the most mysterious of life's questions. It is up to science, and scientific theory, to provide clues to the true answers, as philosophy in its most ancient forms has taken a back seat, but modern philosophy, that of scientific philosophy, has taken root."
So it looks like The Grand Design gets into the relationship between philosophy and science as well as modern physical theories.
Should be worth reading.
Cosmologist Shean Carroll provides brief outline of Hawking's approach in this video (thanks to Why Evolution is True: Carroll explains Hawking).

Few shoppers can pass by the big-screen television display at their local electronics store without stepping back and imagining one in their own home. Package that television together with four speakers, a subwoofer for bass projection, and a DVD/CD/MP3 player and you've constructed your own home theater system.
While the prospect of building your own home theater may seem like an overwhelming task, look no further than your local retailer. A Home Theater In a Box (HTIB) is offered by nearly every electronics manufacturer, and you don't have to be a tech genius to put it together. For as little as a few hundred dollars and stretching well into the thousands, HTIBs are available for every pocketbook and come easy to install with most connection cables provided. Every package is different, and some may not include audio equipment like a DVD/CD/MP3 player. Make sure your new HTIB has enough auxiliary inputs to connect additional audio/video devices if needed.
If you're also in the market for a new television, you'll notice it's no longer as simple as choosing the size. Today, shoppers need a dictionary to navigate through all the anagrams associated with televisions - DTV, SDTV, EDTV and HDTV. Know the lingo ahead of time in order to decide what product is best for you.
What's an HDTV? In the high tech world of television, everything comes down to picture resolution and format. By the end of 2006, digital signals are supposed to replace analog transmissions sent by broadcasters per an FCC mandate that will help to free up scarce and vital bandwidth.
Most homes today have analog televisions, which resolve an analog signal by reading 480 horizontal lines of information. Standard Definition Television (SDTV), a form of DTV, works the same way but reads 480 horizontal lines of digital information. The signals are processed by the television using a technique called interlacing that updates half of the picture every 60th of a second. This type of resolution is noted as 480i.
EDTV or Enhanced Definition Television, another type of DTV, resolves images with somewhat more sophistication using a process called progressive scanning. This technique actually scans an entire image and updates it every 60th of a second providing a smoother picture with less flicker than those associated with interlacing. Progressive scanning, using 480 horizontal lines of information, is depicted as 480p.
High Definition TV (HDTV) is slightly more complicated, because it refers not only to the way a picture is resolved, but also the format in which it is viewed. It is considered a premium among home theater enthusiasts because HDTV programming is often transmitted together with Dolby digital surround sound. This helps to mimic the sensation of being in a real movie theater. HDTV resolves a picture using both interlacing and progressive scanning technology, but it processes more lines of information than SDTV and EDTV. HDTV can resolve 720 and 1080 horizontal lines of information making the television resolution practically seamless, processing as 720p, 1080i and 1080p respectively.
Unlike other programming, HDTV uses a wide screen format similar to the wide span of a theater screen. Referred to as the aspect ratio, the typical television program has an aspect ratio (the ratio between the width of the picture and the height of the picture) of 4 by 3. The aspect ratio of HDTV is 16 by 9. This may sound like the perfect choice for a home theater system, but most television programming still uses the 4 by 3 aspect ratio. Wide screens do have ways of stretching or cropping the smaller aspect ratio to fit the screen, but it can distort the image.
If you plan on using your home theater strictly to view movies, DVDs, sports and other HDTV programming, HDTV is a great choice. On the other hand, if you are more interested in crisp, clear television programming look no further than a digital television with enhanced options like SDTV and EDTV. Whichever you choose, you can count on DTV to provide lucid, spectacular viewing for years to come.

Nestled in this residential street of Boro Park, better suited for Park Avenue, you'll find an unusual restaurant specializing in fish and dairy dishes… Such a jewel is the Orchideä Restaurant located at 4815 12th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11219 — Telephone: 718-686-7500 and 718-686-9100.
The almost monochrome décor of silvers and grays accented by black and soft lavender produce a unique atmosphere of sophistication and romantic intimacy. Their delicately spiced salads are fresh, delicious, and a true feasts for the eyes. Exquisite attention to color, detail and placement of each vegetable on the plate elevates the gastronomic experience into near art-form.
We started off our meal with artistically prepared sushi, and colorful, flavorful salads. I recommend the Blue Cheese or the Spring Fling.
The mixture of flavors bespoke of exotic locales in far away lands. The Eggplant Parmegiano, was the best I ever had.
The wine selection was more than adequate, the settings regal, and the portions nicely sized. I have a sweet tooth, having been weaned on Austrian pastries, so I was delighted with their unusual looking Napoleon, fruit shaped custard divided among three layers of Middle Eastern fillo pastry. Superb, is an understatement!
In presentation, in taste, in service, few establishments can rival Orchideä
