Whether at work or play, Kawasaki's new Prairie 300 and revamped 400 four-wheelers take shiftless effort to a new level.
Just two years ago, Kawasaki launched its first fully-automatic ATV, the Prairie 400 4x4, which received critical acclaim from the media and buyers. In fact, it became one of the top 10 best-selling models in the industry one year later.
For 1999, the company, fresh off a reorganization to put more focus on its ATV line, set out to improve a good thing. The company claims its newly revamped Prairie 400 and totally new Prairie 300 four-wheelers take its shiftless transmission and suspension technology to the next level.
To judge for ourselves, we put these machines, both 2-wd and 4-wd, to the test for two days on 13 miles of trail in the steep and creek-laden hills of Missouri's heavily forested Ozark country, just a stone's throw from Branson.
Not only was the terrain a tough test on the machines, the riders also were tested with 95 to 100 heat and high humidity both days. However, the riding scenery was spectacular, set in the 10,000-acre private wilderness refuge of Dogwood Canyon. The area is home to rocky cliffs, small caves, a bison herd, old Indian burial sites and a trout stream where bigger-than-your-net rainbows toy with flies.
Prairie impressions. Over the course of two days, we were able to ride all four new machines and compare them to last year's models. By riding the '98 and '99 versions of the 400 4x4 back-to-back, I immediately sensed the new model's higher horsepower (claimed 12% more) and more responsive transmission due to a smaller, lighter continuously variable transmission (CVT). It accelerated up steep inclines instead of leveling out, and the front suspension that now features stiffer springs to handle the added power provided a more comfortable ride, even compared to the good suspension on the original 400.
The 2x4 model, in my opinion, was the most fun to drive, especially in and out of the corners. Perhaps it was the sliding rear end that provided more of a challenge for this 40-year-old thrill seeker. (Does the water-crossing photo give this passion of mine away?)
The other most noticeable improvement was the shifting mechanism. Gone is the H pattern of shifting into high and low range, reverse or neutral; it has been replaced with a straight-line, automotive-style pattern for quick and easy shifting.
Underneath the shift lever is the revamped Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS), designed for better power transfer down the shaft to the rear wheels. Wider transmission ratios are incorporated for higher top speed and improved hill climbing and towing ability. And transmission settings also are revised to ensure smooth power delivery and maximum acceleration.
Both 400 models use an identical engine (391-cc 4-stroke SOHC), transmission, chassis and suspension components. The 4x4 ($6,099) has composite cargo racks, a multifunction digital display panel, aluminum wheels, new headlamp shape and full-time 4-wd with an easy-steering, limited slip front-differential. The 2x4 ($5,199) has steel racks and an analog speedometer/odometer. Both ATVs can haul up to 242 lbs. total on front and rear racks and can tow up to 1,100 lbs.
Birth of a sibling. To build on the success of the 400, Kawasaki decided to crank up its Lincoln, NE, factory to add a new smaller Prairie, the 300 2x4 and 4x4.
"Our goal with the 300 is to create the best performing, best handling, most comfortable and highest value ATV aimed at this largest sales segment," says Jim Williams, ATV product manager.
The company says these automatic 300 models will not replace its gear-driven Bayou 300 series, but will complement it for riders seeking a no-shift machine.
Both 300 models use an identical engine (290-cc air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC, based on the Bayou), transmission, chassis, wheels, tires and suspension components. And both use the same CVT as the 400, but tuned differently to match the 300's power output. The 4x4 features new composite cargo racks, a standard speedometer/odometer and full-time 4-wd with a limited-slip front differential.
Shifting is the same as with the new 400 automotive-style mechanism. Once underway, no shifting is necessary with KAPS, which keeps the engine operating at peak performance.
The front and rear racks of the 300 are ready to haul up to 242 lbs. And it can tow up to 1,100 lbs., claimed to be the highest in its class (and the same as the 400 model). Price: $5,299 for the 300 4x4, $4,399 for the 300 2x4 ATV.
All four 1999 models are currently being shipped to dealers, available in either firecracker red or hunter green colors. For more information, see your local dealer or contact Kawasaki Motors Corp., Dept. FIN, 9950 Jeronimo Rd., Irvine, CA 92618-2084, 949/770-0400.

It would be very easy to get infinitely excited about recent Best Actress winner ("Silver Linings Playbook") Jennifer Lawrence, whom the Internet generally has embraced as a person with whom they could totally be best friends with if they could like only meet and hit it off and stuff.
It's understandable; an incredibly talented, humble movie star (who happens to be exceptionally beautiful, yes) who's savvy and natural and endearingly human--nobody falls at the Oscars--comes around every, I don't know, almost never. George Clooney comes to mind as a similarly effortless interview subject, but his unflustered cool puts him on a post-species level. Clooney is a special breed of smooth, and his likability isn't synonymous with approachability. He seems like someone whose aura would be hard to keep up with.
Lawrence, on the other hand, is the rare truly non-star megastar, like she's simultaneously confident and unable/unwilling to see herself as anything "more" than a fortunate young woman who loves acting. Every late-night interview she gives is different, spontaneous, and seemingly unconcerned about what will and won't be covered. Bodily functions are not off-limits. Awkwardness and embarrassment are common topics. And the actress is 22; it's not like old stories are that old.
Perhaps more reassuring than Lawrence's candidness, however, is her lack of interest in the superficial B.S. that pervades Hollywood coverage and interviews. If you haven't seen them already, watch her answers when interviewed after winning on Sunday. She's not ashamed of falling on the stairs; she recognizes that she wore a dress that might have to tripping, and that's what happened. (An incredible example for people who struggle to laugh at themselves and shrug off potential embarrassments.) She doesn't let interviewers get away with anything. Is she worried about peaking too early, someone asked? "Well, now I am!," Lawrence exclaims, surely not meaning it but recognizing the absurdity of perceiving her success as a bad thing or having to worry that everything going right will suddenly start going wrong.
Of course, it could. Not everyone has a life-long career in movies. Anyone who's seen her work, though, should be able to tell that Lawrence is the real deal as an actress, and that has nothing to do with her public appeal or looks (though those obviously don't hurt). That's from her Oscar-nominated role in "Winter's Bone" to the under-seen gem "The Beaver" (really) or even showing that you can give a dynamic lead performance a teen franchise with "The Hunger Games." Not a giant sample size, but it doesn't have to be.
Some people, because that's just the way they are, may be inclined to dislike the person everyone else supports. I'm glad, however, that most people seem to get it—as far as I'm concerned—and approve of Lawrence's freewheeling, unstudied charm and dislike, by comparison, Anne Hathaway's overly manufactured, self-satisfied gratitude. Those real-life behaviors translate to their on-screen work, too; in nearly all her roles, Hathaway strikes me as clearly acting, whereas Lawrence becomes the character and disappears.
As someone engenders so much goodwill, it would be easy to forget that they're a person. In a recent A.V. Club Q&A;, critic and considerable Lawrence fan Scott Tobias lamented that the actress spoke negatively of old movies and wished that (in his mind) she always lived up to the stunningly winning persona that comes so naturally to her.
It feels disappointing whenever anyone becomes taken with a person, in reality or on screen, and finds the slightest element to contradict suspicions of perfection. No matter what, Jennifer Lawrence, with her seemingly inextinguishable personality, is the new Mila Kunis—in terms of the fondness she inspires from men and women—with an added bonus of dangerous and varied skill.
It's already a justified cliché to say you're a Lawrence fan, but besides for simply liking her work and laughing at the interviews, it's fantastic to have a new movie star who suggests that the polish and restraint that often come with immense talent and A-list status not only are optional in the job, but dismissible as a lifestyle.

PLAINVIEW – Retired Lubbock businessman Mark Murdock encouraged new graduates of Wayland Baptist University to develop a meaningful relationship with God by holding to four absolutes in his commencement address at Saturday's graduation ceremony.
Murdock, who spent 37 years in the food brokerage business and another five as a vice president with the McDougal Companies, noted that a recent report from the Barna Company noted that only 3 percent of Christians surveyed said their relationship with God was satisfying.
To combat that, he offered four absolutes that would deepen and maintain a relationship with God.
"The first absolute is to live in complete obedience to the Word of God," Murdock said. "It's not enough to just read the Word of God or study the Word of God. It's important that we live the Word of God."
Murdock also encouraged graduates and their families gathered in Harral Auditorium to appropriate the resources of the Holy Spirit every day and to acknowledge the call of God on their lives.
"God calls each of us to salvation, and then to follow His will," Murdock said. "God honors you when you're faithful, so honor His call on your life."
In closing, Murdock urged graduates to commit themselves to living a Christian life of integrity, following the nature of God and the character of Christ.
Graduating senior Zack Greer of Athens delivered the student address, urging his fellow classmates to see the day for its importance and to live a life above average.
"This is a landmark in our lives, a time we can look back on and say we accomplished something, a time we can say we learned something, because we allowed ourselves to learn," said Greer, a religion major who hopes to become a missionary. "Life is good, and we should enjoy it. Follow God and allow Him to change you. And never sacrifice the extraordinary things in life for the comforts of life."
Greer was among 65 receiving diplomas during Saturday's ceremony, with two earning master's degrees. Three students were recognized as highest ranking graduates, each finishing with a 4.0 grade point average. Plaques were presented to Shanna Buck, a religion major from Pampa, Kathryn Reed, a religious education major from Liberal, Kan., and Andrea Turner, a music education major from Plainview, recognizing the honor.
Mo-lin Yeh of Plainview earned a Master of Business Administration degree, while Martin Lee Price of Fort Collins, Colo. received a Master of Christian Ministry degree.
Earning Bachelor of Arts degrees were Danielle Dorcas-Askins of Plainview; Erica Balderrama of Socorro; Adam Beck of Snyder; Francis Blair of Crosbyton; Andrea Brown of Amarillo; Shanna Buck of Pampa; Joe Clay, Jr. of Shawnee, Okla.; Juli Earley of Plainview; Kelly Eason of Vernon; Zackary Greer of Athens; C.J. Hurst of Colorado City; Latasha Miller of El Paso; Crystal Morton of Friona and O'Donnell; Hermelinda Pantoja of Plainview; Joey Parsons of Amarillo; Andrew Pearson of Cortez, Colo.; Desiree Pharis of Plainview; Barbara Reed of Homestead, Fla.; Kathryn Reed of Liberal, Kan.; Ryan Reese of El Paso; Isaias Solorzano of Plainview; and Natalie Jo Walker of Plainview.
Earning Bachelor of Business Administration degrees were Amber Barrera of Crowell; Brittain Biggs of Mason; Kay Burge of Rio Rancho, N.M.; Leigh Christensen of Ruidoso, N.M.; Nick Flanigan of Post; Kristol Hill of El Paso; Jonathan Lackey of Plainview; Calen Laos of Glendale, Ariz.; Nicole Matsuda of El Paso; Kyle Parker of Plainview; Ryan Vigil of Santa Fe, N.M.; and Chad Whisenant of Levelland.
Two students earned Bachelor of Music degrees: Ashley Applewhite of Olney, and Andrea Turner of Plainview.
Earning Bachelor of Science degrees were Jayson Adams of Lubbock; Aaron Borden of Plainview; Steven Coleman of Crosbyton; Elizabeth Feagin of Plainview; Andra French of Texline; Jason Henderson of Fence Lake, N.M.; Holly Hingst of Hale Center; Kyle Igo of Whiteface; Shanna Jackson of Lockney; Kenta Matsuda of Channelview; Paige Prince of Georgetown; Amy Smith of Lubbock; Dustin Sowders of Marlin; Kimberly Villanueva of Plainview; Russell Wilson of Coleman; and Debra Woodrow of Sweetwater.

flower child wedding inspiration | sweet sunday + ee | inspirational wedding
I finally get to share since Ruffled posted them today!
:D The ladies over at Sweet Sunday put this masterful combination of color together! From Katy of Sweet Sunday Events: In our eyes, you can never go wrong with a festive 70's vibe. Filled to the brim with color and fun, this shoot, snapped by the talented Erin of EE Photography, was nothing short of exceptional. The colorful starburst backdrop, made of a few hundred nails and lots of yarn, set the tone for the abundance of knitted accents throughout the wedding. I mean, really, where else have you ever seen knitted yoga balls?! The use of yarn and knits connected the ceremony to the dinner table, as candles and chairs were, yet, ALSO yarn bombed! A tasty and gorgeous display of food was presented by Catering with a Twist with menus created by The Stationery Bakery. Alright- alright, enough talk, are you ready to jump right into any flower child's dream?!

SAN ANTONIO — Anybody expecting the devastating Game 1 loss to have a lasting effect on the Warriors would have been surprised Tuesday.
Not only were they feeling good about their chances for Game 2, but they also were finding reassurance in the crushing setback to the San Antonio Spurs a night earlier.
At Tuesday's practice, you might've thought they'd won based on the confidence they exuded. Many think the Warriors are done, that they missed their one shot to control this best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series. But the Warriors say they feel good about their prospects for Game 2 on Wednesday. To them, the heartbreaking, 129-127 loss in double overtime also was reassuring.
No doubt, it sounds crazy to think of an epic collapse being a confidence builder. But these Warriors are a little bit crazy. Too young to know any better, too brazen to be intimidated by reality. The Warriors, tempered by respect for an NBA institution, are convinced San Antonio has to deal with them.
"We deserve to be here in this situation, regardless of age and experience," point guard Stephen Curry said. "We feel very confident with where we're at right now."
The percolating sense from the Warriors side was that they gave away that game, that before they blew a 16-point lead in the final four minutes, San Antonio was in trouble.
The matchups they wanted to exploit produced fruit. The mini goals they set were accomplished. The Warriors shot 51 percent, outrebounded the Spurs by 10 and limited San Antonio to 42 points in the paint.
That they lost anyway doesn't seem to be demoralizing, instead evidence they can assert their will over the Spurs in some key areas.
Of course, San Antonio big man Tim Duncan, who was battling the stomach flu, has a couple more levels to his game. The Spurs also might get center Tiago Splitter (sprained ankle) back in the starting lineup. And can you bank on guards Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili missing 30 of their 46 shots again?
But the Warriors have some elements to hang their hats on, too. They had success going at Parker, especially Curry and guard Klay Thompson. Duncan had a solid game (19 points and 11 rebounds), and it didn't hurt them. They were able to dictate the pace most of the game, and their spry legs made the Spurs look every bit a veteran team.
"The beautiful thing about this is redemption," Thompson said. "I think we are as good if not better than this team."
And Golden State most certainly still has the underdog card.
"There's no pressure on us. We're not supposed to be here," backup guard Jarrett Jack said. "We still have confidence knowing that before that four-minute stretch we were able to amass a 16-point lead, which is not easy to do against a team such as them."
Curry said the team showed its resiliency in the very game it choked away. Conventional wisdom, he said, was that the Warriors would get crushed in overtime after the Spurs' furious rally erased their lead. But that never happened. Instead, the Warriors had two chances to win it after their monumental collapse.
"This is a tough, tough basketball team that I have," coach Mark Jackson said. "Mentally tough, great competitors. I think it says a lot about the DNA of our basketball team, that on the road against a championship caliber team with great history and four future Hall of Famers, that we battled and put ourselves in position to win the ballgame."
Their film session revealed the mistakes they made. They got stagnant on offense. They missed free throws. They didn't run back in transition. They missed shots they feel they normally make. They tightened as the momentum shifted to San Antonio.
But that's all what they failed to do. In their minds, if they correct those things, then Game 2 is theirs.
Delusions of grandeur? Glass half-full approach? Denial? Perhaps. Maybe they just don't have the experience to see what's coming, a healthier San Antonio squad that has shaken off the rust. But not seeing it is exactly how they got to this point.
"If the game were to turn out a little different, we wouldn't be answering those questions," Curry said. "They're a good basketball team. You can't ignore the fact that they've been on this level every year, it seems like, and have won championships. But we're a good basketball team, as well, that has been playing at a high level for a long time."

Alright, here's some birthday cakes pictures I'll like to share. Not much work for the 1st one, but not the 2nd one. And the worse thing is...the cake started to "sweat" (the 2nd one) under the hot and stuffy weather..:(
The 1st one, a soccer field with a soccer ball in the center for a 12 year boy!
Not much work, only piping here..:D
The 2nd one..the theme suppose to be a "Safari Zoo"...but it turned out to be a "Mini Zoo" instead..heehee! This was for a 1 year old birthday boy, who is my dear friend's son. And so this was my gift for him..:)
This cake took me 1 day to mould the animals (fondant) and another day for baking and decorating. It was not that difficult for someone whose skill is better, but not me! I'm totally stress of it!!
Happy Birthday Boys!!

For one thing, Ogilvy's C-suite of top managers works differently than in the past, as a more integrated team. The company realized "it's not just about the individual," but also had to figure out "what we are trying to do collectively for the greater good of the organization," Seifert said. It had to ask: "Do we have the right staff, do they have the right skills?"
Along the way, pretty much everything about the business has changed, from how the firm measures and optimizes success to the globalization of technology. It's one thing to standardize and connect pockets of technology in major industrialized countries, said Yuri Aguiar, CIO. "But as you go into the smaller markets -- Colombia, Hong Kong -- it all has to work with the same consistency. Actually making it happen is an extremely difficult task."

text: College girls had a number of options after graduation. Many of them married and, in the social environment of the time, marriage spelled an end to work outside the home for most (exceptions included involvement in social causes like suffrage or settlement houses). The heroines of successful series, however, often spend a number of books doing other things that were more interesting to their loyal teenage readers before settling down. One possibility was returning to school for a fifth year, taking "post-graduate" courses to strengthen their skills in a specific subject: literature if they want to write, languages if they want to teach. The post-graduate experiences of the fictional characters usually focus on the continuing social narrative of their stories, and many of the girls who elect this course appear to be driven primarily by a desire to maintain close contact with their friends, who also return. Bryn Mawr offered studies of this sort; the course catalogs show that the MA as a terminal degree was available to women who had taken their Bachelor's at the school, whereas alumnae of other colleges were only enrolled as graduate students if they aspired to the PhD.

M.B Restaurant
M.B is the signature restaurant of the renowned Basque chef Martín Berasategui.
Martín's all-consuming passion for cooking began early in his life: he learned his trade at the age of 14 while helping out at the San Sebastian fish restaurant owned by his mother. Ten years later Martín's own restaurant in Lasarte had earned its first Michelin star, and by 2012 he has brought that number to seven.
Today, Martín's inspired interpretations of Spanish cuisine have made him a household name throughout Spain and the rest of the world. His cooking is characterized not just by its creativity and inventiveness but also by a profound understanding of flavour and a deep respect for ingredients: qualities that can be found in abundance at M.B.
The restaurant headed in Tenerife by chef Erlantz Gorostiza was awarded in 2010 with a Michelin star. The 2014 Michelin Guide for Spain and Portugal continues to recognize the gourmet destination's exceptional gastronomic standards both by retaining this star and awarding a second.

Two state lawmakers from Staten Island have decided not to seek reelection this fall, leaving rare open seats in both the assembly and the senate. The issues facing both districts are similar, but compared to the race to replace Republican Senator John Marchi, the campaign to take the seat vacated by fellow Republican Matthew Mirones has been very quiet. Two Republicans are vying for their party's nomination to take on the Democratic candidate, but neither agreed to be interviewed for this story, despite numerous attempts. Even those who follow Republican politics closely seem unaware that there will be a primary.
The eastern shore of Staten Island makes up most of the 60th assembly district, with a small part lying across the water in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Matthew Mirones has represented the district since 2002. None of the three candidates seeking to replace him have held political office.
Janele Hyer-Spencer, the Democratic candidate, ran against Mirones in 2004, and received 40 percent of the vote. She is the former legal director of My Sister's Place, a shelter for battered women and their families.
Republican Joe Cammarata is making his third attempt at public office; he unsuccessfully ran for city council in 1997 and 2001. Cammarata has worked as a teacher in public and private school, as a police officer and detective, and is a Vietnam veteran. Repeated attempts to schedule an interview with Cammarata for this article failed.
Cammarata's Republican rival, Anthony Xanthakis, is the only candidate making his first run for public office. He has served as Mirones' unsalaried counsel since 2002, and is also a partner in a private law firm.
Xanthakis has received Mirones' endorsement, and has raised $117,000, significantly more than either Myer-Spencer ($47,000) or Cammarata ($1,000). His campaign office said he would not grant interviews before the primary.
Bringing state money to the district is an issue of importance to all the candidates. Janele Hyer-Spencer said she would like to see budget negotiations bring more school funding; her Republican opponents have also pledged to bring more money to the district's schools. Joe Cammarata has said he wants teachers to have more leeway to discipline students.
Janele Hyer-Spencer also complains that Staten Island receives insufficient service from public transportation while suffering from higher fares, and that the city's Health and Hospitals Corporation, which runs its public hospitals, is neglecting Staten Island. The number of hospitals on Staten Island has dropped from five to two in recent years, and one is not fully functional.
The Republican candidates have both promised to bring more anti-terrorism money to the district. Joe Cammarata's campaign Web site calls for the New York State Guard to take a more active role in fighting terrorism.
As in other areas of Staten Island, overdevelopment is a hot issue in the district, and all the candidates have said they will control it. Joe Cammarata has said he plans to introduce a bill that will halt all building on the island until zoning regulations are abided by.
Janele Hyer-Spencer says that a traffic task force recently set up by the city was a good idea, but that it has taken too long to come up with even simple solutions. She had proposed lowering the fares on public transportation to encourage people to use their private cars less often. During rush hour, she also wants to increase the toll that commercial trucks pay when they cross Staten Island from Manhattan en route to New Jersey.
Janele Hyer-Spencer says that the Bay Ridge portion of the district sets a good example of how to handle the land use issues related to overdevelopment. If elected, she says she will "use what was done in Brooklyn as a template."

You move 1 south, ending at (-5,0), but also shifting me back to (5,0), since it's relative to each other.

Data Management
One great benefit of CDIP's longevity is the fact the program has been able to generate numerous long-term data sets. For many locations, wave information has been collected that spans three decades. All of these data - from the first observations made in 1975 to those being made at this very moment - are archived in a number of standardized, easily accessible formats. These archives form an invaluable resource for researchers and engineers, providing a unique record of wave climatology along our nation's coasts.
Stations and Sets
At the broadest level, CDIP data are organized by station. But what, exactly, is a station? The term is used freely on the website and throughout this documentation without definition, largely because the implied meaning is generally correct: A station is location where CDIP maintains sensors and collects wave and climatological data. Thus stations are named according to their geographic locales - Dana Point, Waimea Bay, etc.
CDIP's station definition
Defining the term station more precisely is quite difficult. For the first couple of decades of CDIP's existence, data were organized strictly according to shore station, i.e. according to the site at which the data were initially recorded and transmitted. So if data from sensors miles apart - say inside and outside of a harbor, as at Noyo (Station 030) - were recorded at the same site, they would fall under the same station. Whereas sensors which had their data recorded at different sites would always be separate stations, even if the sensors were located just a few hundred meters apart. Essentially it was the logistics of setting up the shore station hardware that determined how sensors were grouped in stations, rather than any direct consideration of the wave climates or geographic characteristics of the locations involved.
Mission Bay Harbor:
Five sensors as one station (015)
Oceanside Harbor:
Three sensors as three stations (068, 069, 070)
When CDIP started relying more heavily on buoys in the 1990's, the situation became even more muddled. Unlike pressure sensors and arrays, buoys require frequent maintenance and redeployment. And redeployment sometimes leads to changes in location: a mile further offshore or inshore, atop a different bank or depth contour. When buoys are in continuous use for 10 years or more, it is not uncommon for them to be deployed at half a dozen distinct sites, maybe even more. Thus the use of wave buoys has made stations even more dynamic, and harder to get a handle on.
It is therefore important to remember that while each of CDIP's stations does correspond to a general location, they do not correspond to precise locations or wave environments. Over the program's history a wide range of influences - from funding sources to the logistics of laying cable - have affected how sensors are assigned to stations. As a result, it is possible that a single station covers several varying wave environments, and that a single wave environment contains several different stations.
The waters off of Point Arguello and Point Conception have been heavily studied, with sensor data recorded under several different station numbers.
Data sets
When a single station's sensors have collected data from two or more distinct wave environments, it is clearly essential that data from these differing locales be kept distinct. To this end, station data can be organized into separate data sets. Within the processing archive - CDIP's extensive database of processing information - there are detailed instructions on how to organize the data from each station. Which records from which sensors on which dates should be placed in which data sets? The processing archive has the answers.
Most data sets are set up to distinguish distinct wave environments, situations where a station's sensors cover a range of geographic locales. Data sets also have other uses, however, especially for keeping the results of different processing regimes distinct. For instance, pressure sensor data can undergo three types of energy processing: standard wave processing, surge processing, and basin processing. In some locations, data from a single sensor is run in more than one of these regimes. In these instances, the results from surge processing will be kept in a SURGE data set, the results from basin processing will be kept in a BASIN data set, etc. Each data set is assigned a name which indicates either the geographical locale to which it corresponds, or the processing regime which was applied.
The 12 data sets from Barbers Point are distinguished by location and/or processing type
Setting up data sets based on processing differences is straightforward - either surge processing was applied, or it was not; there is no middle ground. Data sets based on differences in location are more problematic, however. This is especially true in the case of buoys, with their frequent changes in position. How far can a sensor move before it requires a distinct data set? What, precisely, defines a wave environment, and what distinguished one wave environment from another?
Grays Harbor, Station 036:
Data from dozens of buoy deployments - spanning nearly 25nm - are all grouped into one data set, providing a long-term (20+ year) climatological record.
Because CDIP has been involved in a wide range of research projects over the years, collecting data for numerous uses, there is no definitive answer to these questions. In some instances, sensors very close together have been assigned to separate data sets, so that researchers can investigate the subtle differences between them; in other instances, locations miles apart have been grouped together in a single data set to provide researchers with a single, long-term climatological record. Of course, the manner in which CDIP has set up its stations and data sets will not suit all users. But this is never an insurmountable problem, since all the data and products supplied by CDIP can traced back to their precise origin in space and time, as will be explained below.
Data Storage and Files
As discussed in the Data Processing documentation, CDIP's core data archive is the diskfarm. The diskfarm is composed of millions of separate files, each containing the output of a single sensor over a standard sampling period, generally close to 30 minutes or one hour. These files are named and placed in a directory structure on the station, sensor, and date. In this way, it is easy to obtain the data for any given sensor or station over a specified period of time.
All of CDIP's products are stored in a similar manner. High-volume products - such as time series files and spectral files - generate a new file for each sampling period. Low-volume products - like condensed parameters and nine-band summaries - are stored in monthly files. In all cases, the products and files are easily queried according to date and station. Understanding how the files are named and how the directory structures are organized allows users to ascertain all the characterstics of any data in question.
CDIP's standard files are all named according to a strict format. For single-sample files, the filenames are 19 characters long; for monthly products, they are 14 characters.
Three sample filenames, their components color-coded
The first two characters of the filename specify the file type; see the next section,
File and Data Formats
, for a complete listing of types. Next comes the three-digit station number; leading zeroes are used with any number less than 100. Next comes the two-character stream specifier; the stream concept is explained in the next paragraph. And last is the UTC time of the files. For single-sample files, this is the start time of the data, given to the nearest minute. For monthly files only the year and month are specified, resulting in a shorter filename.
Of the four components of a filename, the stream identifier is probably the only one that requires more explanation. In CDIP jargon, a stream is a sensor and processing specifier. For products created without any special processing instructions, the stream is simply the sensor number. Thus the file df03601198310261022 above comes directly from sensor 1 at station 036; precise details about its location, serial number, or the like can be obtained from the CDIP sensor archive. For more complex products, the stream is alphanumeric - p1, p2, p3 - and refers to a set of handling instructions in the processing archive. This for the spectral file sp083p2199611091246 above, the p2 points us to the processing archive, where we can see that is a directional wave processing stream that drew its 1996 data from sensors 03, 04, and 05 at station 083. Also note that web data sets always require special processing - instructions as to exactly which sensors from which times should be included in the data set - so they always have alphanumeric stream specifiers, as in the parameter file pm121p1200401 above.

1) This hardy Eurasian plant has been cultivated for about 4,000 years and is believed to have originated somewhere in central Asia. They are widely cultivated both for food and livestock feed, and have frequently been seen as only fit for the poor and starving.
The ancient Greeks preferred those from Thebes, and Roman connoisseurs preferred those from Amitermes. Supposedly Henry VIII liked his roasted and the tender young leaves served in a salad. Goethe stated that "they are best mixed with chestnuts." Charles Townsend introduced many unknown Dutch varieties to England in the early 18th century, and they were cultivated in Virginia as early as 1609. They are popular in Italy, where they are known as 'broccoletti di rape.' This old fashioned vegetable has recently been 'rediscovered' by many chefs.
They grow best in cool climates. Spring varieties must be used in a short time, but winter varieties will keep for up to 2 months in a cool place. Their excellent keeping properties made them a wintertime staple. They are low in calories and a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium and calcium.
Name this vegetable plant.
2) This Asian vegetable plant was first grown in the U.S. in the late 19th century as a livestock feed. It is known by many names, including green gram, lutou, look dou, moyashimame, and oorud. The small pods contain 10-14 oblong seeds about 3mm in diameter. One pound of seeds produces about 6 pounds of the most popular form of this vegetable.
Name this vegetable plant.
a) Snow peas.
b) Mung beans.
c) Soy beans.
d) Lentils.
e) Sugar peas.
3) This cheese dates back to the 7th or 8th century, and was first produced by Irish or Italian Benedictine Monks in a valley in France, and is now considered a German cheese.
What is this multinational cheese?
4) This plum sized fruit is native to the American tropics, and were domesticated there about 3,000 years ago. The Aztec name for this fruit, 'xalxocotl' means sand plum. The fruit is classified as a berry and can be pear or apple shaped, sweet or tart, red, yellow, purple, or black, seedless or with seeds. It has been said that green ones smell like a gym, and ripe ones like the garden of Eden. The plant is a member of the myrtle family, a cousin of cloves and eucalyptus.
Name this fruit.
5) What do avocados, eggplants, cucumbers, chilies, and tomatoes have in common.
6) This is the purified middlings produced in flour milling of wheat, other than durum. Consisting of essentially small pieces of endosperm free from bran and germ. Often prepared and eaten as a breakfast food, especially in the U.S., and usually enriched with vitamins and minerals. Some product varieties require only one minute of boiling to prepare.
7) 'Ang mo tau eu' is an essential accompaniment for certain Malaysian dishes such as Inchee Kabin (Malaysian Spiced Fried Chicken). 'Ang mo tau eu' made its way to Malaysia by way of the British, who adopted it in England in the 1830's from India.
What is 'Ang mo tau eu'?
a) Curry.
b) Chutney.
c) Worcestershire.
d) Mustard.
e) Mangos.

Jellyfish are sea creatures that have a nearly see-through (transparent) body with long finger-like structures called tentacles. Stinging cells inside the tentacles can hurt you if you come in contact with them. Some stings can cause serious harm.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Jellyfish venom
Where Found
Types of jellyfish include:
Lion's mane (Cyanea capillata)
Portuguese man-of-war (Physalia physalis)
Sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha), one of the most common jellyfish found along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
Sea wasp (Chironex fleckeri, Chiropsalmus quadrigatus), also known as box jellyfish, found near the coasts of northern Australia and the Philippines
Note: This list is not all-inclusive.
Portuguese man-of-war:
- Abdominal pain
- Changes in pulse
- Chest pain
- Collapse
- Headache
- Muscle pain and muscle spasms
- Numbness and weakness
- Pain in the arms or legs
- Raised red spot where stung
- Runny nose and watery eyes
- Swallowing difficulty
- Sweating
Sea wasp or box-jellyfish:
- Breathing difficulty
- Nausea and vomiting
- Severe pain and swelling
- Slow heart beat
- Skin tissue death
Lion's mane:
Breathing difficulty
Muscle cramps
Skin burning and blistering (severe)
Sea nettle
Mild skin rash (with mild stings)
Muscle cramps and breathing difficulty (with extensive contact)
Home Care
Seek immediate medical attention.
If you know for certain that the person has been stung by a Portuguese man-of-war or sea nettle, wash with salt water (ocean water is okay, but make sure you do NOT get sand in the wound). Protect affected area if possible. Soak the area with a solution made of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water for about 30 minutes. This helps remove the tentacles. Rinse the area and then re-soak with more 1/2 strength vinegar.
(You may also remove tentacles by applying a paste made of flour or shaving cream and scraping the area with a dull instrument such as a credit card.)
Apply a cream containing a pain-killer, an antihistamine, or a corticosteroid.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of the marine animal, if possible
- Time stung
Poison Control
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Antivenin (for sea wasp stings)
- Blood and urine tests
- Breathing assistance
- Fluids through a vein (by IV)
- Medication to treat symptoms
- X-rays
Outlook (Prognosis)
Portuguese man-of-war and sea nettle stings are rarely deadly. Sea wasp stings can be deadly in minutes. The overall mortality rate after box-jellyfish stings may approach 15% to 20% in select locales.
Do not swim in waters known to harbor jellyfish. Ask local inhabitants if it is safe to swim in waters with which you are not familiar.

Babies are helping foster a more caring, peaceful society through the Roots of Empathy program. This award-winning program is teaching children from kindergarten to grade eight around the world about empathy and preparing them for the relationships they will encounter in their lives.
This Fall, thanks to a grant from the RBC Children's Mental Health Project, children in Saskatchewan will get the opportunity to follow the Roots of Empathy program and gain valuable insights into personal relationships. Originally launched in Toronto in 1996 by educator Mary Gordon, Roots of Empathy has proven to decrease aggression and increase positive social behaviours such as sharing, helping and including others, at the elementary school level.
"In a Roots of Empathy classroom, children learn to identify and reflect on their own thoughts and feelings and those of others," said Mary Gordon, founder and president of Roots of Empathy. "The power of empathy in making our classrooms and communities more supportive of children's mental health is tremendous. It really can change the world, child by child."
During the program, a baby and its parents visit a classroom nine times and a specially trained facilitator visits 27 times over the school year. With the support of the instructor, the children observe the baby and its parents. They learn about the baby's development, talk about its emotions, and witness the empathy that exists in the parent-baby relationship.
"Understanding how you feel and how others feel really helps children navigate every social relationship in their lives," explains Gordon. "In society, we generally measure what we treasure. Traditionally schools have measured children's competence in subject areas. Roots of Empathy measures the affective side of children's knowledge, understanding, and attitudes."
The RBC Children's Mental Health Project is a multi-year philanthropic commitment to support community-based and hospital programs that reduce stigma, provide early intervention and increase public awareness about children's mental health issues. Since 2009, the RBC Children's Mental Health Project has been our cornerstone "health and wellness" pillar, and to date, we have donated more than $6.5 million to more than 125 organizations across Canada.

I needed a wreath to hang on my door during January. I wanted something white...maybe it's because we have had NO snow and I'm tired of gray and dark and dreary. I followed the tutorial found HERE. I LOVE how it turned out! I added silver ribbon because I didn't want it to look too Christmasy {although it would be super cute with a red ribbon too!}
If you have left over felt you can make these projects HERE. Happy Winter!!

text: A denominationally and politically diverse group of more than 100 U.S. Christian leaders released a "civility covenant" in March promising to pray for politicians and to publicly model civil dialogue (see page 7). "The church in the United States can offer a message of hope and reconciliation to a nation that is deeply divided by political and cultural differences," reads the statement. "Too often, however, we have reflected the political divisions of our culture rather than the unity we have in the body of Christ." The signers represent a broad range of the Christian and political landscape, including Chuck Colson, founder of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview, Bob Edgar, president of Common Cause, Sojourners' president Jim Wallis, and Morna Murray, president of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.

March 2013Like the last Ruhl play done at Wofford (Eurydice, 2009), The Clean House is a beautifully poetic and hilariously practical guide to living and dying. Charles Isherwood of the New York Times dubbed it a deeply romantic comedy, "…visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts."
November 2012
"You get tired of keeping it all inside," says a terminally ill man in The
Shadow Box, winner of both the Tony and the Pulitzer prize awards for
best play in 1977, "but it's like nobody wants to hear about it."

When Seymour Krelbourn, a clumsy flower shop employee, discovers a
new species of plant, it seems like he's found his way out of Skid Row
and into the heart of his dream girl, Audrey. But things begin to get
complicated when the plant starts talking...and demanding to be fed with
human blood!
Directed by James Skinner '12
This hilarious show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films, Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness, combining them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all times.
Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes... and all to music.

As Tom Stoppard says,"Good things, when short, are twice as good." The Ten-Minute Play is one of the most elegant, and some say the most difficult, of theatrical forms. Such brevity forces playwrights, directors, and actors to focus on exploring and revealing a single idea, intention, or moment. A full evening of these plays at Wofford Theatre offers audiences an unusual variety of sharp theatrical experiences: hilarious, sexy, terrifying, illuminating, confounding. The play festival will consist of 10-minute plays by a variety of faculty directors.

"Vaudeville placard: THE WOMAN WITH NO ARMS OR LEGS. Lights up slowly to reveal, atop a pedestal, A WOMAN WITH NO ARMS OR LEGS. She is dressed simply but well. After a while, she speaks."
"Freakshow" by acclaimed playwright Carson Kreitzer, puts the audience inside the tent of a traveling freakshow at the end of the 19th Century. Thrill to the exploits of Aquaboy — The Human Salamander! Don't look away: it's The Pinhead! And over there: it's Judith, The Dog-Faced Girl! The lives of four anatomic anomalies, two assistants and one domineering ringmaster, all freaks in their own way, are revealed in all their grim glory as they struggle to maintain the indelicate balances of performance and real life. Can the ringmaster keep his assortment of freaks together despite facing bankruptcy and the threat of desertion? Lust, love, comedy and tragedy converge as we discover that the struggles of these freaks are just as real as their interior and exterior disfigurements.

After last year's amazing one-night performance of "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," The American Shakespeare Center (ASC) returns this fall with two phenomenal productions of two Shakespearean classics.

Big Love, by American playwright Charles L. Mee, is based on Aeschylus' The Supplicants. It is about 50 brides who flee to a manor in Italy to avoid marrying their 50 cousins. The production takes the plot of the original Greek play into modern times, including such details as having the grooms ambush the brides by helicopter. While the brides and grooms wait for their wedding day, the characters raise issues of gender, politics, love and domestic violence.

Wofford College's All-Student Theatre organization Pulp Theatre presents an Interim musical directed by Kathleen Hearn. Hilarious, moving and wildly inventive, The Flight of the Lawnchair Man, is the perfect play for both dreamers and doers.
With sweeping, universal themes and modern insight into Ovid's familiar myths of transformation, Mary Zimmerman's Metamorphoses is an inspired fusion of music, movement, and classical storytelling. Based around a pool of water, the piece seamlessly moves the familiar tales of old from the page to the stage in a series of often surprising and always poignant vignettes. Metamorphoses is a profound reminder of our connection to myth, to our past, and to each other.

Bail has been set at $300,000 for a man who is charged with sexually assaulting a woman in Ocean Beach on March 24.
Richard Christopher Butts, 25, pleaded not guilty March 27 before San Diego Superior Court Judge David Szumowski. He is charged with kidnapping, forcible oral copulation and assault with intent to commit rape.
A preliminary hearing has been set for April 10. The victim was walking on Long Branch Avenue in Ocean Beach around 10:15 p.m. when a man grabbed her and attacked her.
The woman screamed and neighbors called police. Butts was arrested by San Diego police near Robb Field. He has a misdemeanor trespassing conviction in Washington, but no other prior record, according to court records. He remains in the George Bailey Detention Facility.
Alleged rapist identified by apparent victim
An employee at a Sports Arena Boulevard hotel identified a guest in court March 26 as a man who raped her in a Dec. 21, 2012 incident.
Following the testimony, a fourth sexual assault was added against Christopher R. Stevens, 44, who was also ordered to stand trial on six others in the preliminary hearing.
The incident occurred at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Point Loma.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Fred Link set a May 15 trial date. Stevens remains in jail on $3 million bail.
Stevens pleaded not guilty after the hearing to four rape counts, penetration with a foreign object, felony assault, and making a criminal threat to the maid.
If convicted of all charges, he could receive 450 years to life in prison, said Deputy District Attorney Trisha Amador. He qualifies for the third strike law because he has convictions for two robberies, a burglary, auto theft, and felony evasion of police.
Link dismissed one count of false imprisonment involving another woman at the same hotel.
Stevens was arrested by police on Christmas Eve at a Mission Valley hotel. He remains at the Vista Detention Facility.

Resume: This report outlines main trends in employees' financial participation in Latvia including historical, socioeconomic and legal background. A special emphasis is placed on privatization during the transition period which shaped an environment for employees' financial participation and influenced the current state of employee share ownership and profit-sharing. Attitudes of social partners and the government will be addressed. The report will show why the transition process lead to a low level of employees' financial participation and the indifference and ignorance of policy makers concerning the development of financial participation.
