If that's it, we can create permutation rules tailored for this and 
should be able to crack it. I think you should concentrate on this for a 
while before resuming that incremental run.

Great! This is still a very tough hash type though.

I'm not familiar with TC so I can't tell if you should filter one out or 
not. Let's keep attacking both for now.

Note that it still says 44.21p/s here but that's just the average speed 
from job start so this figure will now increase slowly towards your new 
faster figure.

Let's ignore that for now (unless someone can chime in with knowledge).

Let's concentrate on wordlist rules. If it's indeed a partial sentence, 
would you think it's truncated in the end and still starting with an 
uppercase letter?

Also, how large (number of lines) is that wordlist? Did you try just 
running it with --rules (and perhaps --rules=single in another run)?
