Court caseloads are tabulated according to generic reporting categories developed by the Court Statistics Project (CSP) Committee of the Conference of State Court Administrators. These categories describe differences in the unit of count and the point of count when compiling each court's caseload. Major areas of investigation include (1) case filings in state appellate and trial courts, (2) case processing and dispositions in state appellate and trial courts, and (3) appellate opinions. The trial caseload consists of civil, domestic relations, criminal, juvenile, and traffic violation cases. The appellate caseload consists of appeal by right, appeal by permission, death penalty, and original proceeding/other appellate matter cases.

Methodology Study Design View help for Study Design Information for the CSP's national caseload databases comes from published and unpublished sources supplied by state court administrators and appellate court clerks. Published data are typically taken from official state court annual reports and Web sites, so they take many forms and vary greatly in detail. Data from published sources are often supplemented by unpublished data received from the state courts in many formats, including internal management memoranda and computer-generated output. States also report and verify data electronically through spreadsheet templates provided by the Court Statistics Project. The CSP data collection effort to build a comprehensive statistical profile of the work of state appellate and trial courts nationally is underway throughout the year. Extensive telephone contacts and follow-up correspondence are used to collect missing data, confirm the accuracy of available data, and determine the legal jurisdiction of each court. Information is also collected on the number of judges per court or court system (from annual reports, offices of state court administrators, and appellate court clerks), the state populations (based on United States Bureau of the Census revised estimates), and special characteristics regarding subject matter jurisdiction and court structure.

Stanford Law Review Online: The Iraq War, the Next War, and the Future of the Fat Man
The Stanford Law Review Online has just published an Essay by Yale's Stephen L. Carter entitled The Iraq War, the Next War, and the Future of the Fat Man. He provides a retrospective on the War in Iraq and discusses the ethical and legal implications of the War on Terror and "anticipatory self-defense" in the form of targeted killings going forward. He writes:
Iraq was war under the beta version of the Bush Doctrine. The newer model is represented by the slaying of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen deemed a terror threat. The Obama Administration has ratcheted the use of remote drone attacks to unprecedented levels—the Bush Doctrine honed to rapier sharpness. The interesting question about the new model is one of ethics more than legality. Let us assume the principal ethical argument pressed in favor of drone warfare—to wit, that the reduction in civilian casualties and destruction of property means that the drone attack comports better than most other methods with the principle of discrimination. If this is so, then we might conclude that a just cause alone is sufficient to justify the attacks. . . . But is what we are doing truly self-defense?

Steele points out that to date the only known candidates for the tool
maker are "robust australopithecines (Paranthropus aethipicus, cranial
capacity of about 410 cm3 ), and the earliest Homo (with affinities to
H. habilis, 500-650 cm3 , and/or H. rudolfensis, 600-800 cm3)"
His article probably went to press prior to the discovery of
Australopithecus garhi (cranial capacity 450 cm^3) who apparently made
tools also at this time. (Berhane Asfaw, et al, "Australopithecus garhi:
A New Species of Early Hominid from Ethiopia," Science,
284(1999):629-635, p. 632; Jean de Heinzelin et al, "Environment and
Behavior of 2.5-Million-Year-Old Bouri Hominids," Science
284(1999):625-629, p.629)
The original report add,
"The repeated application by the knappers of the same technical
principles to a whole series of cores, and during the reduction of each
core, indicates an elaborate debitage scheme, implying motor precision
and coordination. These principles include an appreciation of the
quality of the collected raw materials, a judicious exploitation of the
natural morphology of the blocks and the maintenance of adequate flaking
angles during the entire debitage sequences. These show that the notion
of production was already assimilated by a group of hominids in this
particular area. This notion is integrated within a real debitage
strategy, here well-mastered and unprecedented for this period.
"Overall simplicity and similarities between assemblages are the two
main arguments recently put forward to substantiate a technological
stasis hypothesis between the 2.6 and 1.6 Myr time periods, and to merge
the related assemblages into a single vast 'Oldowan' technocomplex. The
stasis hypothesis cannot hold out against the detailed technological
analysis of the LA2C lithic assemblage. There can be no doubt about the
elaborate character of the LA2C lithic debitage schemes, which are far
more sophisticated than at any other Pliocene site. The assemblage also
provides yet another example of the technical diversity within this time
span. It should be stressed, however, that temporal variation is not
necessarily in the direction of every greater sophistication. Given the
so-far largely underestimated spatio-temporal distance separating
Plio-Pleistocene 'Oldowan' assemblages, the variation observed probably
reflects technical solutions to different environments and needs, as
well as differences in cognitive and motor skills among early hominid
groups characterized by non-synchronous evolutionary processes." H.

I am not at all unhappy about being a "compensation," and I suppose I don't mind being a "sort of Ivy League Dracula" [in the Oct. 19 review of Pillow Talk]. I can smell a compliment better than anyone I have ever met. No, all I really have to complain about is that I think you underrate Clark Gable [in the Oct. 12 review of But Not for Me]; he's really a deceptively good artist. That's all—but if overrating me goes with underrating him, then God praise the equation.

Jewish Family Service of Saint Paul
This organization helps elderly people, unemployed people, families in distress, recent immigrants and others address their major issues. The agency has been around for 100 years but is still relatively unappreciated in its home town. With a small promotional budget, the organization has not matched its image in the community with the work it does. This brochure is being created for an event at which the agency is being recognized for its work on behalf of people of all backgrounds.
People unaware of the value of the agency--primarily individuals who will make contributions of money and time to help out. It is NOT intended to attract more people to use the agency's services but rather share with people who are financially well-off what the agency is and convince them it's worth their support.
We want to convey the warmth and caring that the agency provides people--in a small tri-fold brochure. It's just a brief glimpse at what the agency does, with the copy carrying much of the weight here. We will keep costs down, so just a single color of your choice. Likely will use B&W photos, either stock or if possible we'll get some good shots of clients. If you are so inclined and have the skills, you may want to do simple illustrations that convey the ideas here -- hands holding other hands, people talking, etc.
The agency does not have a strong logo to use--one will be designed later. For now, just think about text treatment of the name, using a readily available font if possible.
Copy is attached with a basic layout given. If copy is too long for panels, we will shorten it.
Color images attached are NOT actual for this agency, but just placeholders. B&W images on Word doc are actual. Use them only to show how you would incorporate if you would use images. Stock photos that are more illustrative rather than actual are okay, too.
Tri-fold should be standard 8.5 inches by 11 inches when completed.

Leg lengthening and shortening are types of surgery to treat some children who have legs of unequal lengths.
These procedures may:
- Lengthen an abnormally short leg
- Shorten an abnormally long leg
- Limit growth of a normal leg to allow a short leg to grow to a matching length
Alternative Names
Epiphysiodesis; Epiphyseal arrest; Correction of unequal bone length; Bone lengthening; Bone shortening; Femoral lengthening; Femoral shortening
This series of treatments involves several surgeries, a long recovery period, and a number of risks. However, it can add up to 6 inches of length to a leg.
The child will be under general anesthesia. This means the child is asleep and pain-free during surgery.
The bone to be lengthened is cut.
Metal pins or screws are placed through the skin and into the bone. Pins are placed above and below the cut in the bone. Stitches are used to close the wound.
A metal device is attached to the pins in the bone. It will be used later to very slowly (over months) pull the cut bone apart. This creates a space between the ends of the cut bone that will fill in with new bone.
When the leg has reached the desired length and has healed, another surgery is done to remove the pins.
This is a complicated surgery that can produce a very precise degree of correction.
While the child is under general anesthesia:
The bone to be shortened is cut. A section of bone is removed.
The ends of the cut bone will be joined. A metal plate with screws or a nail down the center of the bone is placed across the bone to hold it in place during healing.
Bone growth takes place at the growth plates (physes) at each end of
The child is under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a cut over the growth plate at the end of the bone in the longer leg.
The growth plate may be destroyed by scraping or drilling it to stop further growth at that growth plate.
Another method is to insert staples on each side of the bony growth plate. These can be removed when both legs are close to the same length.
Metal pins, screws, staples, or plates may be used to hold the bone in place during healing. Most orthopedic surgeons prefer to wait several months to a year before removing any large metal implants. Removal of implanted devices requires another surgery using general anesthesia.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Leg lengthening is considered if person has large differences in leg length (more than 5 cm or 2 inches). Leg lengthening is more likely to be recommended:
For children whose bones are still growing
For patients who were short to begin with
Leg shortening or restricting is considered for smaller differences in leg length (usually less than 5 cm or 2 inches). Shortening a longer leg may be recommended for children whose bones are no longer growing.
Bone growth restriction is recommended for children whose bones are still growing. It is used to restrict the growth of a longer bone, while the shorter bone continues to grow to match its length. Proper timing of this treatment is important to ensure good results.
Certain health conditions can lead to severely unequal leg lengths. They include:
- Poliomyelitis
Cerebral palsy
- Small, weak muscles or short, tight (spastic) muscles, which may cause problems and prevent normal leg growth
- Hip diseases such as
Legg-Perthes disease
- Previous injuries or broken bones
- Birth defects (congenital deformities) of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments
Risks for any anesthesia include:
- Reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
Risks for any surgery include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Additional risks include:
- Bone growth restriction (epiphysiodesis), which may cause short height
- Bone infection (
- Injury to blood vessels
- Poor bone healing
- Nerve damage
After the Procedure
After bone growth restriction:
It is common for children to spend up to a week in the hospital. Sometimes a cast is placed on the leg for 3 to 4 weeks.
Healing is complete in 8 to 12 weeks, at which time the child can restart full activities.
After bone shortening:
It is common for children to spend 2 to 3 weeks in the hospital. Sometimes a cast is placed on the leg for 3 to 4 weeks.
Muscle weakness is common, and muscle strengthening exercises are started soon after surgery.
Crutches are used for 6 to 8 weeks.
Some children take 6 to 12 weeks to regain normal knee control and function.
A metal rod placed inside the bone is removed at 1 year.
After bone lengthening:
The child will spend a week or longer in the hospital.
Frequent visits to the doctor are needed to adjust the lengthening device. How long the lengthening device is used depends on the amount of lengthening needed. Physical therapy is needed to maintain normal range of motion.
Special care of the pins or screws holding the device is needed to prevent infection.
How long it takes the bone to heal depends on the amount of lengthening. Each centimeter of lengthening takes 36 days of healing.
Because the blood vessels, muscles, and skin are involved, careful and frequent checking of the skin color, temperature, and sensation of the foot and toes is important. This will help identify any damage to blood vessels, muscles, or nerves as early as possible.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Bone growth restriction (epiphysiodesis) is usually successful when it is done at the correct time in the growth period. However, it may cause short stature.
Bone shortening may be more exact than bone restriction, but it requires a much longer recovery period.
Bone lengthening is completely successful about 40% of the time. It has a much higher rate of complications.

Casa Della Pasta in Taipei
December 16, 2012 in Food, Reviews by pacejmiller
Casa Della Pasta is one of those places in Taipei that I keep hearing rave reviews about, so I decided to check it out one night at the store on Jinshan South Road in the Da'an district. Bear in mind, though, this visit occurred last year (shows how far behind I am in my reviews), and for some reason I can no longer find this branch on the restaurant's official website, so it's possible that the store may have closed down. That said, it still has at least three other locations, so this review should still be relevant from a food perspective.
Anyway, the branch that we went to was huge and beautifully decorated, giving a sense that you're walking into some high class joint that will burn a hole in your wallet. That was supposedly the charm of Casa Della Pasta — it only looks that way but the prices are very family friendly.
I'm not sure about the prices being super cheap, but they are very competitive for Italian food (around NT100-200 per dish). The biggest draw of the restaurant, in my opinion, is the sheer variety of dishes they have on offer. Seriously, the menu is huge and there are all kinds of appetizers, pastas and pizzas. Granted, most of them are just variations of each other — eg, pick a meat, a type of sauce and a type of pasta — but combing through the menu and deciding on what to order can be a time consuming process.
In the end, with just two people, we went with a pizza and pasta to share. The pizza was their popular pineapple with smoked chicken (see below). I'll be frank — it was hugely disappointing. The toppings and flavour were okay but the crust tasted no better than those you get from frozen pizzas. And the size was not overwhelming either.
But hey, it was relatively cheap, and the place is called Casa Della PASTA, so I assumed the second dish, the pesto chicken spaghetti, was going to be significantly better. Well, it was better, but nothing that blew my world. The chicken pieces were a tad large for my liking and the chicken was on the chewier side. The pesto sauce was very rich and creamy, which is good for a while but I soon found myself getting sick of it.
Lastly, the dessert — a layered cake, the kind you'd find at most cake stores in Taiwan. Again, it was OK, but nothing spectacular.
On other thing I remembered about this place was that the service was excruciatingly slow. In all it turned out to be a fairly average experience. Not horrible for the price, and I can imagine with its ambiance and variety it would be a nice place to hold a group gathering or family outing, but as far as taste goes it didn't get the job done for me.

myHomeSpot.com is a real estate property management company. We have recently updated our website to a DNN platform which has disturbed our corporate image. We are presently investing thousands in an updated corporate image and thought it might be fun to hold this contest to provide an opportunity for the "up and coming". myHomeSpot.com is a traditional real estate company that specializes in property management. Our focus is on Homeowner Association Management in one division and another division focuses on Rental Management and Leasing. We have an office in Atlanta, Georgia and another in Pensacola, FL with more offices starting in 2010. Real Estate is a very localized business, but the company works hard to keep the customers centralized via the website. The website is currently under construction daily to deploy a new user interface and the demo sites of what is typically only client access. The company's business model is to keep focus on the website to provide the connection between the service providers and the clients (landlords or corporation leaders) and the customers (tenants and the association membership). We have attached our existing logo and ask that the only alteration is to the text of "myHomeSpot.com" which needs to be more bold and maybe taller. The logo structure must not be altered. The font style can be tweaked if desired.
As our company has 2 different divisions - we have 2 different client types. For the rental department we are offering properties to rent to our tenants (the customer) and the homeowner/landlord (the client). Our sales cycle starts with the origination of a homeowner/landlord but the income event occurs when the tenant rents the property. Our client is typically a married couple between the ages of 35-50 with children. They client is a dual income household who is renting a traditional family home rather than an apartment. Many of our clients are "investors by default" in that they are not able to sell their home and also cannot afford to leave it vacant long - so they must rent it. They are looking to trust someone to care for the property in their absence. In the HOA department, we managing townhomes, condos and golf course style communities. A board of directors will hire us and we are essentially a "CEO for rent" as we manage the entire corporation and manage the services for the community. We want myHomeSpot.com to convey an image of friendliness, ease of use, confidence and trust for all those as our industry transitions more towards the financial sectors. Just as 10 years ago people did not know of online banking - we are breaking the mold for property management.
The corporate identity package should consist of a 8.5x11 letterhead, a double sided (full color) business card in 2-3 styles. On the backside of the business card we envision our logo and either one of our slogans "We Manage to Make You Money" or "Thousands of Homes-One Address" and the back side being clean or reinforcing a brand image. The style should be a vertical format, a horizontal format and then one card style that would allow an agent to drop their photo on the card as is common in the industry. 2 of the 3 cards should NOT have a photo design. Finally, a #10 envelope design. One needs to be with a single left sided window 1 inch from side and 1/2 inch from bottom and one without a window. I have attached our existing business card & envelope for just a review. Also, considering 3D for logo and creative pieces. We welcome your creativity. We are open to one style that screams myHomeSpot.com and another that is more modern/classy to give our offices a choice of style. Colors should be blue, orange, black, white or another color you think will make our brand POP!!
The design winner should be willing to consider additional opportunities as we will be creating brochures, website templates, postcards and several creative pieces.

Law School Admissions / Pre-Law or no Pre-Law?« on: June 15, 2009, 02:50:32 PM »
I aspire to get into law to use as a jumping point for a political career. I'm really interested in criminal law and would love to work for a DA somewhere. I'm a high school sophomore with about a 3.3 GPA. There's been a lot of stuff floating around the internet saying whether or not to take a pre-law course in college for a jump start into a law school. So basically, should I major in pre-law for my undergrad? And if not, what should I major in to get a jump start on a political career?

d'Lish Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar
We are a small independent young modern business focused on the beauty of local and natural food in our restaurant and catering. We are more upscale, yet approachable. We are currently repositioning/evolving into a full-service restaurant and wine bar and are continuing to grow our thriving catering services. Our vision for our new space (we are currently undergoing renovations) is one that is beautiful and modern. Some of our new materials include copper, turquoise, mother of pearl tile and chocolate brown concrete floors. We will have our own fresh herb terrarium and intend on having our space be event centric with local live music, art shows, wine tastings and chef's tables. We will have a busy lunch and weekend brunch service as well. We also want d'Lish to be a perfect date night option in our city.
Our old corporate colors were chocolate brown and a moss-like green.

- professionals
- love for good food, wine, culture
- average/above average income

In working on the manuscript, I'm running into a familiar problem, one I also encountered while writing the first book. The books contain, basically, information and plot summaries/critiques of historical novels published over a given time period. The primary market is libraries in North America; secondly, general readers, researchers, prospective historical novelists, etc.
I mention this because it's not practical for me to include historical novels in my book unless a significant number of libraries own them. I use WorldCat to determine this (link goes to the public version, which is kind of neat to search). WorldCat, if you're not familiar with it, is an online catalog of library holdings worldwide. The overwhelming majority of libraries in North America have their holdings - or those of a shared library system they belong to - reflected in WorldCat. To me, a "significant" number of holding libraries is usually around 50... if fewer than 50-odd libraries for any novel are recorded in WorldCat, it's not worth including it, because library patrons will get frustrated that the book's hard for them to obtain.
(Yes, I know interlibrary loan exists, and it's a wonderful thing, but not all patrons want to wait - plus, my book's not meant to be a comprehensive guide to all historical novels ever published, only representative ones. Anyway.)
The frustrating part, though, is when I read/come across novels that are truly wonderful, but which only a very small number of libraries own. These are mostly small press titles, ones that have word-of-mouth popularity on Amazon and on blogs. I'm sure you know some of them. I'd love to include them in the book and help spread the word, but I can't. It's a Catch-22 of sorts, because they're often not in libraries simply because they're small-press titles and missed getting picked up for review by the major trade pubs like LJ, Booklist, PW, etc.
This has me thinking about a few different but related things. First, I wonder if many authors consider libraries as a market worth pursuing at all, because in some cases, these novels aren't even owned by libraries in the authors' home states/cities/towns. Many libraries will acquire novels by local authors even if there hasn't been significant (or any) review coverage. So why aren't those copies there?
On the other hand, because a lot of these smaller-press novels are word-of-mouth hits, I wonder if libraries need to make more determined efforts to acquire them, rather than simply relying on the traditional review venues. If you're a librarian reading this, do you ever purchase historical novels based on blog mentions, online reviews, Amazon recommendations, etc., or do you wait for a formal review to appear?
It seems to me there ought to be a way for these two solutions to meet in the middle. Not just for the very narrow purpose of my being able to include them in the book, of course, but so that these novels can be acquired by more libraries, and therefore reach more readers.

Monthly from 16 March 2019 -
Free Entry
Normally held on the third Saturday of the month, the Biloela Markets line the grounds of the Biloela Bowls Club on Gladstone Road. This is where you'll find those unexpected gems, the funky hand tooled or crafted specialties, homemade treats, jams and sauces, candles and scents, organic fruit and veg. No two market days are the same. Vendors rotate and change, so there's always the new or different to see or try. Around mid-morning the pace steps up with a bracket or two from the local brass band, or talented musicians on guitars, didgeridoo and other instruments. Occasionally, local clubs also join in the act, staging their events on market days to add even more novelty and fun.

Norbert Thiel (Berlin)
"Hotel Boheme"
The work of Norbert Thiel is based on the lives and work of artists in hotels. From the very beginnings of the hotel as an institution, artists have consistently used it as a source of inspiration and place of work. Whereas in the 19th century authors, musicians and, in same cases, painters stayed and worked largely in grand hotels, in the 20th century simpler lodgings also became creative gathering points. Alone the famous Chelsea Hotel in New York, which housed countless artists of all kinds in the 1960s, was a source of innumerable anecdotes and legends.
In the current century remnants of this culture persist here and there, but the grand era in which artists used the hotel as their living and work space seems to have passed. Today hotels are dominated by stars and starlets, usually from the entertainment industry, who tend to stay no longer than a single night and who do not even find the time to get drunk at the bar or celebrate wild orgies. These yellow-press celebrities hold court according to precisely predetermined rituals, and even when something scandalous occurs, it does not seem to be authentic but appears staged and planned in advance.
The "Luise" is perhaps an exception, with rooms designed on site by different artists and offering artists a place of refuge.
The focal point of Norbert Thiel's installation is a large collage, which frames and presents the theme of artists in hotels in a painterly composition. Also part of the work are series of reworked photographs, a display case with various media (books, CDs/DVDs) on the topic, which guests may borrow and use during their stay at Art Luise. The furnishings with its unusual color combinations have also been selected by the artist.

Gluten-free baking-machine newbie in London
Hi all! This is rather an odd place to find myself, as a wheat-intolerant; bread, bread, everywhere... :-D But since wheat-free bread (or gluten-free, pretty much, since I can't eat rye either) is so expensive, I've decided it's time to start making my own. I've just been given a bread-making machine, I'm told it's very handy for gluten-free baking - unfortunately the instructions are missing - if anyone has instructions for a Breville BR2, please let me know! Likewise, if anyone has any good pointers for gluten-free baking, I'm all ears. It does appear that I need to obtain some xanthan gum, as it appears in a lot of recipes. I've made decent flapjacks, brownies, pancakes, and cakes (using oats/ nut flours/ gluten-free mix flour) but so far not ventured into bread.
Another proviso (purists, look away now) is that I don't have a LOT of time. I'm a musician, with a dayjob, so I'm juggling quite a bit to fit everything in, and much as I like to develop a new obsession, I'm going to have to rein myself in a bit. This is a functional necessity, rather than my new hobby... :-) Therefore, I'm looking for the least complex recipes; I'm hoping to find a system where I just chuck stuff in the bread-maker, and hey presto...
Are there any other gluten-free members in this forum? Or are you going to chase me out of town? :-D

Our monthly Group Conscience Business Meeting is on the first Tuesday of every month - next is on Tue March 5th at 9 pm USA Eastern Time in #slaa2. Click link for agenda
are glad that you are here! We are a
12-Step, 12-Tradition recovery fellowship. We counter the destructive
consequences of one or more addictive behaviors related to sex addiction,
love addiction, dependency on romantic attachments, emotional dependency
and sexual, social and emotional anorexia here!
#SLAA Online Group is part of a 12-Step, 12 Tradition recovery fellowship. We recover by sharing experience, strength, and hope using online chat. We conduct international online meetings to aid our mutual recovery patterned after Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and are a registered group with them.
The StarLink-IRC.Org network of IRC servers hosts our meetings. Our chat room (channel) is not listed in the channel listings for the sake of anonymity.
*To come to a meeting please contact us at: email@example.com for instructions on how to enter the room*
Please be advised that you must be 18 years of age to participate
in our Room.
The S.L.A.A. Preamble©1985, 2003, 2012 The Augustine Fellowship, S.L.A.A., Fellowship-Wide Services, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition-oriented fellowship based
on the model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous.
The only qualification for S.L.A.A. membership is a desire to stop living out a pattern of sex and
love addiction. S.L.A.A. is supported entirely through the contributions of its membership and is
free to all who need it.
To counter the destructive consequences of sex and love addiction, we draw on five major
1. Sobriety. Our willingness to stop acting out in our own personal bottom-line addictive
behavior on a daily basis.
2. Sponsorship / Meetings. Our capacity to reach out for the supportive fellowship within
3. Steps. Our practice of the Twelve Step program of recovery to achieve sexual and
emotional sobriety.
4. Service. Our giving back to the S.L.A.A. community what we continue to freely receive.
5. Spirituality. Our developing a relationship with a Power greater than ourselves which
can guide and sustain us in recovery.
As a fellowship S.L.A.A. has no opinion on outside issues and seeks no controversy. S.L.A.A.
is not affiliated with any other organizations, movements or causes, either religious or secular.
We are, however, united in a common focus: dealing with our addictive sexual and emotional
We find a common denominator in our obsessive/compulsive patterns, which
transcends any personal differences of sexual orientation or gender identity.
We need protect with special care the anonymity of every S.L.A.A. member. Additionally we try
to avoid drawing undue attention to S.L.A.A. as a whole from the public media.
Conference-approved July 25, 2012
Our group does not speak for all of S.L.A.A. This web site is not affiliated with S.L.A.A. Fellowship Wide Services, or any other SLAA group. As a group, we are autonomous.
We do not maintain local meeting information. Our group meets using computers in a real-time environment. If you would like local meeting information for your country, state or province, please contact S.L.A.A. Fellowship Wide Services directly at their website http://www.slaafws.org or by email to firstname.lastname@example.com for further assistance.
We are not affiliated with other groups either. The #SLAA Online Group and this web material are not associated with any organization or group of people. SLAA is strict about refusing to associate itself with anyone or anything. That refusal is a good thing, and we agree with it. Nothing you see here (such as text, book excerpts, banners, icons, avatars, links, etc.) should indicate any kind of associations or relationships. As an organization, S.L.A.A. takes no position on outside issues.
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous neither endorses nor recommends other organizations; any such references are only to provide individuals with the opportunity to learn about other Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition recovery groups dealing with addiction (especially to sex, love and relationships). The Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions are reprinted and adapted with permission of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. Permission to reprint and adapt the Twelve Steps does not mean that AA is affiliated with this program. AA is a program of recovery from alcoholism only, use of the Twelve Steps and the Twelve Traditions in connection with programs and activities which are patterned after AA, but which address other problems, does not imply otherwise.
Feel free to help! Your ideas and suggestions are welcome. The typical response to a good idea is, "Great idea. Would you mind helping me do that?" Your suggestions, comments, questions, or issues for group conscience may always be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Algebraic data type
From HaskellWiki
This is a type where we specify the shape of each of the elements. Wikipedia has a thorough discussion. "Algebraic" refers to the property that an Algebraic Data Type is created by "algebraic" operations. The "algebra" here is "sums" and "products":
- "sum" is alternation (, meaningA | BorAbut not both)B
- "product" is combination (, meaningA BandAtogether)B
- is a pair of numbers, andata Pair = P Int Doubleand aInttogether. The tagDoubleis used (in constructors and pattern matching) to combine the contained values into a single structure that can be assigned to a variable.P
- is just one number, either andata Pair = I Int | D Doubleor else aInt. In this case, the tagsDoubleandIare used (in constructors and pattern matching) to distinguish between the two alternatives.D
Sums and products can be repeatedly combined into an arbitrarily large structures.
Algebraic Data Type is not to be confused with *Abstract* Data Type, which (ironically) is its opposite, in some sense. The initialism "ADT" usually means *Abstract* Data Type, but GADT usually means Generalized *Algebraic* Data Type.
1 Tree examples
Suppose we want to represent the following tree:
5 / \ 3 7 / \ 1 4
We may actually use a variety of Haskell data declarations that will handle this. The choice of algebraic data types determines its structural/shape properties.
1.1 Binary search tree
In this example, values are stored at each node, with smaller values to the left, greater to the right.
data Stree a = Tip | Node (Stree a) a (Stree a)
and then our example tree would be:
etree = Node (Node (Node Tip 1 Tip) 3 (Node Tip 4 Tip)) 5 (Node Tip 7 Tip)
To maintain the order, such a tree structure is usually paired with a smart constructor.
1.2 Rose tree
Alternatively, it may be represented in what appears to be a totally different stucture.
data Rose a = Rose a [Rose a]
In this case, the example tree would be:
retree = Rose 5 [Rose 3 [Rose 1 [], Rose 4[]], Rose 7 []]

- 1996 Louis Jadot Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1er Cru Domaine du Duc de Magenta - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet (6/2/2006)
69 euros, from restaurant Carelia. Light gold. The nose was lovely and classic white Burgundy: bacony, floral, nutty, tight and citrussy - not a hint of the oxidation found in many. The palate was also tightly wrought, mineral, highly acidic but with lovely fruit also, great intensity and length. Quite lovely.
- 2001 Kees-Kieren Kestener Herrenberg Kerner Auslese ** - Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer, Middle Mosel (6/2/2006)
14 squid from French & Logan. Light gold. The nose is prominent on passion fruit and is simple and not very mineral. The palate is also simple but pleasant: sweet, sherbetty, with decent acidity, and surprisingly fine length. A straightforward wine but well balanced though needs a bit more age for the sherbettyness to harmonize.
- N.V. Cossart Gordon & Co. Madeira Malmsey 10 years old - Portugal, Madeira (6/2/2006)
7 euros or so by the glass at Carelia. Brown/black. A nose of sweet coffee and oxidation - lovely! The palate was sweet and raisiny but not as harshly acidic as I would have hoped. Nice dessert anyway.

We are looking for a logo for a project focused on deepening the impact of social change organizations.
Organization Unbound
-Organization Unbound is a collaborative project that aims to deepen the impact of social change organizations through experiments in expressive change. Organizations that practice expressive change strive to live out the kinds of changes they are trying to create in the world. In a highly expressive organization there is a deep coherence between the organization's overarching social vision and its daily practices.
-Picture a community organization that really feels like a community itself. Picture a healthy hospital where care-giving is part of every relationship - not just doctor/patient, but accountant/porter, neighbor/nurse, visitor/security guard, etc. Picture a human rights advocacy organization that is deeply respectful and nurturing of the interests of each person it encounters – from its own organization members to even its fiercest opponents.
-This project facilitates sharing of experiments in expressive change across a broad range of social change organizations:
1) Service organizations (food banks, health care facilities, etc.) 2) Educational organizations (any type/level)
3) Advocacy groups (environmental, human rights, identity-based, etc.)
4) Community development organizations
5) Formal or informal social movement organizations (may overlap with advocacy groups)
-A design inspired by the name Organization Unbound
-Prefer logos with text and a graphic, though we're open to your text-only concepts, too.
-Looks good with white and color backgrounds
-Natural, organic feeling colors and lines
-Abstract design concept
-Colors are good
-A logo design that we can build a website design around

Game Notes
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) missing the season with ankle injury that he suffered in the preseason, senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times. … This year, the Bucs will once again take to the floor with a young squad made up of several new faces … In fact, despite the return of the 6-fooot-9 Poderis, the Bucs have just five players back this season who played significant minutes a year ago.
The series vs. Winthrop
This will be the first meeting ever between ETSU and Winthrop.
Last time out
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (Nov. 16, 2013) – Playing on the road against one of the most successful mid-major programs in the history of college basketball, the ETSU men's basketball team fought mightily but offensive struggles doomed the Buccaneers as Western Kentucky won 57-50 in non-conference action at E.A. Diddle Arena. ... In a rematch of former Ohio Valley Conference rivals from the 1960s and 1970s, the Bucs and Hilltoppers had not met since the 1980-81 season. With the loss, ETSU dropped to 0-3 on the season, while the Hilltoppers improved to 1-1. ... In what was an extremely ineffective first half offensively for both teams, the Bucs made just four field goals before the intermission, yet still managed to go 10-of-12 from the free throw line to stay in the game. The Hilltoppers never led by more than six and the Bucs' actually took the lead on a 3-pointer by junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wisc.) at the 7:46 mark. ... But from there, WKU outscored the Bucs 10-4 to enjoy a 25-20 lead at the break. ... After the break ETSU again struggled offensively and this time the Hilltoppers took advantage by outscoring the Bucs 20-8 over the first 10 minutes, ultimately building a lead of 17 points at 45-28. Instead of letting the game get further out of hand, the Bucs battled back to make it a game, getting to within five points at 52-47 with just over a minute remaining.
However, at that point the Hilltoppers hit a 3-pointer to make it 55-47 and the Bucs were not able to rally again. ... For the game, ETSU held Western Kentucky to 36 percent shooting from the floor and just 20 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. However, the Bucs shot only 25 percent from the field, but were 18-of-22 from the charity stripe for an 82 percent clip. ... The Bucs were led offensively by Riley with 15 points, while senior post Hunter Harris (Nashville) added 11 points, and junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) netted 10. Western Kentucky was led by T.J. Price's 18 points.
Free throw shooting improved so far this season
Three games into the season, the Buccaneers are shooting much better from the foul line than they did a year ago ... So far this season, this Bucs are hitting on 72 percent (53 of 74) of their shots from the charity stripe ... In 2012-13, ETSU shot 67 percent from the line ... In the last game against Western Kentucky, the Bucs were 18 of 22 from the line for an 82 percent clip.
Merriweather continues to shine, posts double-double
Freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression in the early going this season, and he continued to make more news against Morehead State (11/12) ... The 6-2 guard collected his first career double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, to go along with a pair of assists, a block and a steal in 35 minutes of play ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (8.3 rpg) and steals (2.0 spg), fourth in scoring (8.3 ppg), and third in minutes played (27.3).
Bucs improve defensively, but inside game struggling
A year ago, ETSU allowed teams to shoot a high percentrage from the field and from the 3-point line ... This year, ETSU's defensive efforts have paid off as the Bucs have held teams to just 38 percent shooting from the field and 24 percent from 3-point range ... However, as the Bucs have improved on the perimeter, the team has struggled in the paint ... Currently, ETSU's rebound margin is -11.3, and the Bucs have been out-rebounded by a total of 133-99 ... Those numbers have led to more second chance points for opponents and the reason for two close losses for the team.
KGG, Merriweather enjoy strong debuts at Charlotte
With his career-high, 31-point effort in the loss at Charlotte (11/8), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) certainly made an impression on those inside Halton Arena. ... Along with KGG's showing, freshman A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) did not shy away from the challenge of his first college game and the assignment of defending Charlotte guard Pierria Henry ... While KGG finished with career bests for points (31), field goals made (10) and 3-pointers made (4), Merriweather finished with 10 points to go along with team highs for rebounds (7) and steals (3) in 29 minutes of play.
Young Bucs still face obstacles with experience
The last two seasons, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has faced the challenge of developing a roster with minimal experience ... As the 2013-14 Buccaneers begin play, Bartow is once again looking at a team with several new faces and limited playing time ... In all, the Bucs return just six players who saw time on the floor last sesaon, while there are a total of seven newcomers to the program ... When counting the entire 15-man roster, the Bucs have a total of just 11 varsity seasons between the team for an average of less than a season per player ... The most experienced player on the team is fifth-year senior Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.), but he is returning from an injury which made him miss the entire 2012-13 campaign.
Shuffling starters the "new normal" for Bucs
Last season, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 32 games ... Injuries and dismissals left the ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination all season. ... Bartow hoped to find more stability with his rotation in 2013-14, however he has now used three different starting lineups in three games so far this season.
Merriweather, Riley and Harris standout in exhibition games
Freshmen A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) and Devin Harris (Tampa, Fla.), along with JuCo transfer Jalen Riley (Racine, Wisc.) made significant impressions during the Bucs' two exhibition games ... Merriweather's numbers were the most guady, as he averaged 22 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 steals in just 21 minutes per game ... Meanwhile, Harris averaged 7.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in the games against Milligan (10/29) and Mars Hill (11/2), while Riley finished with 12.5 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest.
Rembert hoping to stay hot as 2013-14 season begins
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time over the last two seasons, having made a 3-pointer in 32 straight games dating back to last season ... Last season, Rembert ranked fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 39.7 percent for the year. ... This year, Rembert has shown signs of expanding his offensive productivity, as he averaged 21.0 points per game in the Bucs' exhibitions against Milligan (10/29) and Mars Hill (11/2) ... In fact, he put up a stunning 33 points on nine made 3-pointers in the win over Milligan.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 797 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game.
ESPN names Wilson to nation's Top 25 freshmen list
While circumstances forced the ETSU men's basketball team to struggle last season, talented redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) gave the Buccaneers reason for hope. ... Wilson, who is averaged 13.0 points per game, was listed as one of the Top 25 freshmen in college basketball by ESPN hoops writer John Gasaway. The list – which included players such as UNLV's Anthony Bennett, UCLA's Jordan Adams, Michigan's Nik Stauskas and Duke's Rasheed Sulaimon – had Wilson ranked at No. 25. ... Wilson has posted six 20-plus point games so far this season.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

'Waiting' and 'House by the Sea' by Melbourne artist Catherine Campbell via My Folk Lover
`Josefin the Writer' by duo Olney Clark from their self-titled LP to be released in February, 2010 on the Friendly Police UK Label. Video directed by Hanae Seida.
I was listening to an abc radio national program this week where a learned person was talking about memory. He maintained that humans have been designed to forget – in order to maintain relationships and to cope with painful life events. A good memory, he said, puts a person at a disadvantage. It's hard for them to move on, to forgive, to function, when the past is so crystal clear. But if nobody had one of these 'disabled' brains, who would be the keepers of truth?
I couldn't find the Josefin lyrics anywhere - bit early I suppose - so have written down the words that I sing in my head. Some of them will be wrong! I'm away for the next couple of weeks with limited internet access but promise to catch up with all comments when I come home.
Josefin the writer
has books locked in her head.
She must release them
onto paper.
She has
she has me worried
of how her thoughts do go
but it's not to name it
but left to mind
to turn like you've gone away.
Why do,
why do our bodies
tire so much faster than our minds do?
Where does thought go
when it swims away?
She is the place
I send my mind
when I need to see things
not as they are
but as I long for them to be.
Josefin the writer
is collecting information
on the mechanics of a memory.
Where will,
where will she find love?
Will it stay with you
or another
or where will she find
a reader like me?
She is the place
I send my mind
when I need to see things
not as they are
but as I long for them to be.
You are the place
I send my mind
when I need to see things
not as they are
but as I long for them to be.
Supposedly 'big hair' is back!

And of course, books never go out of fashion.

Ground Zombie: Marc Forster directs Brad Pitt in apocalypse spectacle 'World War Z'
Zombies have taken over the world—not literally, of course, but thanks to a string of recent successes, it feels as though everyone has zombie fever. AMC's "The Walking Dead" is a record-breaking hit on cable television, Seth Grahame-Smith's book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a New York Times bestseller with several sequels, and one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the summer is director Marc Forster's World War Z, an action zombie flick starring Brad Pitt and due in theatres from Paramount on June 21.
World War Z revolves around United Nations employee and reluctant hero Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the zombie pandemic that is destroying armies and governments, threatening to decimate all of humanity. We recently spoke with Forster about the challenges of the production and what audiences can expect from his zombie apocalypse.
When directors have tried to reinvent the zombie genre in the past, they've come up against some harsh criticisms from fans—for example, when Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Trance) unveiled 28 Days Later, some film critics and fans alike disapproved of the film, arguing that no movie could capture the thrills and chills of George Romero's classic Dead trilogy and perhaps no one should even try. Even before the release of World War Z, Forster has come up against similar criticisms, especially since his film has received a PG-13 rating. Fans of the zombie genre and Max Brooks' original novel are dubious about the rating, worried that the film won't deliver on gore effects and harsh political commentary.
Forster says that audiences shouldn't worry. "When I first read the book, I was very inspired by those issues… Honestly, at the time I didn't think that the book lent itself to a film narrative and I knew I would have to do a lot of adapting, but also keeping those political and social themes incorporated so that the film could be as powerful as the book. We have definitely kept some of that feel in the film." As for the comparisons to AMC's popular "The Walking Dead," Forster notes, "'The Walking Dead' is an R-rated show and we wanted to make sure World War Z was more accessible and very different from that show. 'The Walking Dead' has a lot of violence and a lot of gore, and we had to approach our film very differently. Visually, I think the film is very real and very present, but it's not filled with blood and guts. There is a layer of intensity in the film that I think audiences will be able to relate to; there are scenes that I think people will find to be more realistic."
Forster is perhaps best-known for acclaimed dramas like Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner, not effects-heavy epics, though he did direct Quantum of Solace, the 22nd James Bond installment. Early press reports about rewrites and reshoots don't concern him.
"We came to a place where we thought we could make the movie better. We brought a new writer in to help us with that vision and we went out and shot it. That happens with a lot of productions, and because we shot footage that I'm happy with, I think we did the right thing. There has been a lot of scrutiny regarding the film because of how big the production is and Brad's involvement in it, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Everyone can judge what he or she sees on the screen when it's out. No matter how difficult it was to get there."
With an initial budget of $170 million, World War Z needed extensive reshoots and several rewrites (Prometheus screenwriter Damon Lindelof was hired to rescript, but couldn't find the time, so Paramount hired his partner from TV's "Lost," Drew Goddard, to finish the job), and there have been reports that Pitt took over the director's chair for a few crucial scenes. But rumors are to be expected when working in a genre that so many hold dear to their hearts.
"I've been conscious of working in the [zombie] genre from the beginning, and World War Z is so large in scale," Forster says. "There are a lot of original aspects in the film that I think people haven't seen before. For example, when coming up with the zombies and how they move, I based them on a swarm theory. What I mean by that is originally, when you look at Romero films from the '70s, his zombies move very slowly—I think because he was making a commentary on the consumerism of human beings at the time. For me, today, it was more about zombies swarming, a metaphor for overpopulation. We have fewer and fewer resources in our world today, and more people. The world's population is seven billion people, so if those people turned into zombies, we are talking about large numbers and huge swarms."
Twenty minutes of World War Z was recently screened for the media, and the footage revealed some kick-ass action and spectacular zombie aesthetics. Until this point, no one had seen Forster's zombies—they don't appear in the poster or any of the trailers. "I based the zombies on natural biology; I studied insects and how they move, how they swarm. From the moment the humans are bitten, it's a seizure transformation into becoming a zombie. I did some research on epileptic seizures prior to making the film, and I incorporated this into when humans get bitten, so when someone turns into a zombie their movements are natural, but violent and seizure-like."
The screened footage also established strong character development and ambitious cinematography (no surprises there, since three-time Oscar winner Robert Richardson was behind the camera) with lush location shooting in places like Scotland, Hungary and Malta. Forster "really loved shooting in Malta—we were shooting with thousands of extras and filming massive scenes, and the architecture was so beautiful. We also shot in Glasgow; we turned it into Philadelphia! We had massive sequences shooting there as well, huge numbers of extras in the cast."
Asked about his fondest memories of working on the set, Forster says he has too many to list, but concludes, "All of the large-scale mass hysteria scenes were the best. The extras were so there, and enjoyed being crazy zombies—there were sometimes thousands of people. I really enjoyed how into it the actors got, how they conformed to the energy that we were trying to create."
And as for a sequel or two? "It depends on how this film does. We hope it will do well and then those conversations can be had afterward!"

New Surfboard?
Post general kiteboarding discussion topics here!
Moderator: BayAreaKite
Re: New Surfboard?
The video say's you can use FCS fins too.
Re: New Surfboard?
Hi guys,
Got the opportunity to buy 5'10'' Al Merrick Flyer for 200$, looks to be tuflite build of.
Specs seems to be close enough from a TDZ 6.0 (Ian Alldredge type).
I am intermediate level, and found my FOne Signature 5'8'' (5'8'' x 17'' 3/4 x 2') too small for strapless riding, but my actual surfboard way too big (big fish 6'4x21x2-7/8''), even if i like it in light wind.
Any opinion of this board ?
Re: New Surfboard?
Can people provide guidance on thruster and quad sizing with and without straps for riding in the ocean and non-ocean around SF? I ride a 6'1" thruster with straps. I rode a 5'7" quad with straps last week in Maui, which seemed fine - there was plenty of wind for the smaller sized board. But I feel like I'd be in trouble with that size out here. And I'd like to get a strapless setup going - I was thinking about a 5'10" / 11" ish quad. Sizing help for SF spots would be great... or does it all depend on the board, kite size, etc.
Re: New Surfboard?
how big are you? how big are your kites?
Re: New Surfboard?
I'm 6', 175 pounds with 7m, 8m, 9m, 11m SBs, brown eyes, and a dark complexion. I'm a Gemini and like long walks on the beach.
Re: New Surfboard?
That's funny!
My 2 cents, for what it's worth:
I'm 6' and 165lbs (prob closer to 180 with a wet 5/4 wetsuit and booties). I'm riding a 2010 5'10" F-One surfboard (thruster). It's not terribly floaty and I wouldn't ride anything longer. I find bigger/floatier boards too buoyant, making it hard to really lean it over and get the rail sunk for a serious turn.
I regularly ride Dillon, Stinson, Ocean Beach, Waddell, Pismo and other coastal spots. I've also ridden that board in the Bay and at Sherman.
I've also ridden a 5'8" board at the coast. That size works well for waves into head-high and a half (i.e. 1.5x overhead). After that it's nice to have a bit more board, thus the 5'10". Still for my size/weight I wouldn't go any bigger than that. I rode a 5'11" Slingshot Tyrant this spring for a while and found it too big/thick/floaty to really crank into a meaty turn with my height/weight.
I seriously recommend riding anything before you buy. I've ridden boards which look great on paper and in the shop, but ride like they have the parking brake on or you can't get them to turn or stay upwind. That's a drag when there are good waves to ride and you can't get back upwind to 'em!
Kirk out
New Surfboard?
I'm 175 lbs and ride a 5'6" Hellfire. I love it. Also have a 5'10" and it's good too. Just not as quick. I find that the Hellfire and a 7m are perfect on the coast.
Re: New Surfboard?
Riding style plays a huge part too

I've got the Dakine Fusion; the model before the current one. The entire time I'm riding all I can feel are the leg straps digging in. Uncomfortable and distracting. Also it seems like the spreader straps constantly seem to loosen up.
How are the Nitrous shorts? I've never worn a waist harness and I'm not riding waves. Can you(do you?) ride ~6 hours on lake chop with a waist harness on a twin tip?
Is there anything out right now that is the best or is the most comfortable?
I'm really skinny and this harness I've got just doesn't fit my build. I'm basically out there hanging from the leg straps(the narrow inner leg ones).

I'm at CES in the midst of huge crowds with one-hour taxi lines, 30-minute Starbucks lines and bumper-to-bumper traffic. Las Vegas seems incapable of handling the more than 130,000 attendees, exacerbated by construction along the road in front of the Convention Center and a sulfuric acid spill on the Strip.
Despite these traffic problems, the climate at CES is far better than two years ago when attendees were nervous about the economic uncertainties, and last year when recovery was still tenuous. This year there's a resurgence of excitement and scores of new products, a few innovative, but many me-too products from companies you've never heard of.
Tablets are one of the big categories this year with dozens of companies, large and small, bringing out look-alike Android tablets trying to capture some of the success of Apple's iPad. Unlike notebooks, many of these new tablets and phones run on chips from Qualcomm, nVidia, Samsung and TI, using an ARM core and not Intel chips.
An exception to the dozens of boring look alike/work alike models was Motorola's attractive new XOOM tablet, with a thoughtful new interface, a powerful processor, and the first to run the new Honeycomb version of Android OS. It has a 10-inch touch display and a modular radio that allows it to be upgraded to 4G when that becomes available. It will be sold through Verizon at a price not yet announced.Read More...

Her look is so easy, but super intersting. It takes alot to make a shearling coat work with granny boots without looking aged, but somehow, she makes it look modern. Plus, your pictures are just gorgeous. They capture her essence just beautifuly.
