That has happened dozens of times over the years with no bans. Here's some of all this wisdom I keep hearing about from posts over the years. People really don't believe that do they? The guy is a troll with no interest in you or our sport beyond that. How can informed people conclude otherwise?

I don't mind folks being queer...

I'm no saint but I do try to work the facts only, and let the chips fall where they may.
PPS Your diagram for a low kite in side on wid is pure horse shit.
Think it over Rick you may need a break to get your focus back
you do more harm than good when you're sick.
Rick wants to please everybody, (he is a caring soul) he is a caring soul in conflict.
Read our last encounter over his proposed promotional picture lemur and a rookie in bindings launching side by side? Lame? Ahh,, no cute. Get a clue Steve, Rick wants to grow kiting. Why? I do not wish to speculate. Finally every first week in kiting is the same for the new bee now as it was for you back then, you are alone with the kite and the wind etc. yes the info is good, God bless Rick, and no I am not going away till you admit kiting is not something to promote in mass. NO kiting is for us folks who seek the rush and my fight is to tell it like it is, if you are going to risk your safety then you deserve to know the truth.
So hook your mom up dude, and tell her she can manage the risk,,and if she gets diged up or dead tell her fokiten thinks your an idiot ,,and she was a fool for having a polite respect for a monster sport ,, hey,, find a way to get a clue,, real is real,,,like it or not,,,So if you got a problem with what I say hook your mom up,,,,and see how it works out????ahhh,,your an idiot with a language problem,,,I have a language problem with you idiots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET IT ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

if not,,,KISS MY ASS,,
Hi rick,,
just a note to say how glad I am that you have come to the relazation that kiteboarding is potentially dangerious to even the most expereienced among us,,,And with this realesation< SP) have adopted my veiw that inticing innocent guys and gals into kiting by hype, subjecting them to this danger for financial interests, calling them safety lessons,,,,is about the most morally bankcrupt plan I know of,,,
I arrive at the,,,, up-yours-kiss-my-ass phase,,, in mear seconds,, when confronted with a peusdo-mofo-know-it-all-respect-my a-thor-i-y kite association figure,,,,,fuc-you,,,d-wad,,,,like in seconds,,,
I quess Im just not one for associations,,,Im associated with the get the fuc-out of my face,,,theroy of kiteing,,,
I know that rick is number safety info guy,,GREAT,,thank you,
I also know (seems to me) He wants to Hype kiting at the same time,,,,
This is freakin me out,,,,I mean I can see the add,,,,seeing is beiliving,,,
Yet he sounds like the safety guy,,,and looks like the Hype dude,,
This keeps me on the fence with,Rick,,,what is in your head???
Sorry forum,,I know this is unpleasent,,but it is also,,a life/death issue
You dragged me out rick,,I was content just to ignore you,,

The liver is the body's largest solid organ. Lying next to the stomach on the right side of the abdomen, it has many jobs — like cleansing the blood of toxins, producing bile (which helps break down food during digestion), and storing energy in the form of a sugar called glycogen.
Tumors happen when abnormal cells form a mass or growth. If a tumor develops in the liver, the liver can't work as it should.
Tumors can be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Most benign liver tumors are present at birth. They're usually the result of abnormal tissue growth while the fetus was developing. Types of benign liver tumors include mesenchymal hamartomas, adenomas, and hemangiomas. These tumors can be watched by a doctor or removed through surgery with no other treatment needed.
Malignant liver tumors happen less frequently. These usually require more aggressive treatment, like chemotherapy and surgery.
Hepatoblastoma is most common in very young children (usually younger than 3). When found early, this type of cancer typically responds well to treatment with chemotherapy and surgery.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is more common in adults but can affect older children. Because it can be hard to remove surgically and might not respond to chemotherapy, hepatocellular carcinoma can be difficult to treat.
The cause of malignant liver tumors is unknown. But risk factors for hepatoblastoma include Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (a disorder that can cause too much growth in the body, including in the internal organs), familial adenomatous polyposis (a condition that causes polyps to form in the large intestine), being male, and having a very low birth weight.
Medical conditions connected with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma include infection with hepatitis B or C, or conditions connected with cirrhosis (long-term damage) of the liver, like hereditary hemochromatosis and autoimmune hepatitis.
Early on, a child with a liver tumor might have few symptoms — or none at all. As the mass grows, however, these symptoms may develop:
A doctor who thinks a child might have a liver tumor will do a thorough physical exam and order these tests:
Treatment of malignant liver tumors depends on staging. Staging is a way to classify the extent of the disease. It takes into account the size of the tumor (or tumors), how easily the tumor can be removed by surgery, and whether the tumor has spread to nearby or distant organs.
This information, in addition to a child's age and overall heath, helps doctors develop a treatment plan. The plan might include the following options, in combination or alone:
The stress of having a child who is being treated for a tumor can be overwhelming for any parent. Talk with your child's medical team, who can answer any questions and will support you during this challenging time.

Energy for a Sustainable Future
Sustainable development will require a long-term sustainable source of energy, but continued dependence on fossil fuels is not likely to be sustainable over the next century, with regard to both fuel supply and environmental impact.
Replacement of fossil fuels might be achieved by development of a system in which hydrogen technology helps solve problems of energy storage, distribution, and end-use applications. However, such an energy economy must have a primary energy source, and the hydrogen infrastructure will take time to develop.
Nuclear power is most economical when it is run at a constant rate. It is not well suited for meeting peak-load demands, but would be well suited for supplying the primary energy source for a hydrogen economy. Larger overall demand would permit the reduced unit cost associated with larger base-load capacity.
The Future
In the long term, the potential exists for an energy economy based on production of primary energy from nuclear fusion (currently being researched) coupled with hydrogen technology, once hydrogen economy infrastructure is developed.
Bridge to the Future
It is expected that wind, solar and biomass (WSB) energy sources, fossil fuel energy sources, and fission-based nuclear energy will all help provide a bridge to such a sustainable future energy supply.
For now, however, fission-based nuclear power is 40 years ahead of WSB energy supply. Nuclear power must remain as an essential part of the mix of energy sources if we are to continue with sustainable development in the first half of the 21st century.

ONLY NUCLEAR ENERGY DELIVERED BY GENERATION IV IFRS "can rescue the world from energy disaster," according to the 24-page report, Energy Independence Day: July 4, 2040, by author Joseph M. Shuster, in cooperation with the Science Council for Global Initiatives. The report offers what it calls "a realistic energy mix," complete with cost estimates and a timetable for achieving the goal of energy security for the world by 2040. As explained in the report, the use of coal and oil as energy sources would be eliminated, with the energy mix in 2040 consisting of nuclear (42 percent), wind and solar (30 percent), natural gas (12 percent), biomass, geothermal, tides, and waves (6 percent), plasma remediation (5 percent), and hydro (5 percent). The report promotes the use of integral fast reactors (IFR) because they would use the long-lived waste from the current fleet of light-water reactors for fuel. "Moreover, the residue that remains after burning this 'waste' in an IFR is far less toxic, its volume diminished, and will remain radioactive for only 200–400 years," the report says. In addition, IFRs have been designed to be proliferation resistant, the report says, and "the possibility of a reactor core meltdown has been eliminated." IFRs also can further reduce the proliferation potential by consuming as fuel the bomb-making material that exists around the world, the report says. The report is available online at http://www.beyondfossilfools.com/.

Mirror Risette
A samurai of birth, Rise is part of the military autocracy ruling Japan. She was a talented warrior, and her psychic talents propelled her to the top of her class of Uchigane cadets. But on the day she was made trainee lance leader, Japan was invaded by the Unknown Enemy. Of her squad of 11 close friends and instructor, she was the only one to survive... Now she fights for Imperial Japan under the pseudonym Risette, matching her blood-red Uchigane Custom with a mask to hide the scars of that day...
(Inspiration is obvious )
Mirror Ginjyo
She had it all... then, the whole of South East Asia burned. Without a place to call home, Ginjyo drifts with refugee caravans, using a salvaged Tears IS to fend off raiders and pirates. Even as the darkness gnaws at her, Gin maintains herself as a representative of ASEAN. Her bittersweet songs may be the last vestiges of a vast culture erased by war.

I really should restart typing on Generation Shift......(have been lazy for weeks)
I am also working on Gaiden version Generation Shift (for fun). Priority still goes to the main story.
Title of Generation Shift Gaiden: Dream-like Nightmare
The main Heroine of Gaiden is Cecilia.
and the plot of Gaiden is not even related to main story. Just a bunch of stuff that doesn't make sense in the Setting of Generation Shift universe.

For some reason, we're all gravitating to Cecilia, whether its because we need someone to curbstomp or a love interest that's believable, maybe even the only viable character to build upon. Still, I feel like we're really abusing her compared to the rest of the harem.
Or is it just me?

STOCKTON - D.J. Seeley couldn't be playing better heading into his final collegiate homecoming tonight with Cal State Fullerton and Pacific jockeying for position in the Big West Conference race.
STOCKTON - D.J. Seeley couldn't be playing better heading into his final collegiate homecoming tonight with Cal State Fullerton and Pacific jockeying for position in the Big West Conference race.
Seeley will lead Cal State Fullerton (11-8, 4-3 Big West) into Spanos Center at 7 p.m. today to face Pacific (11-8, 5-2). The Tigers are in second place, trailing Long Beach State by one game, and the Titans are in a three-way tie for third place.
Seeley, a Tokay High and Modesto Christian product, enters the game having scored 32 points, along with six assists and four steals in a 94-88 victory at UC Davis on Thursday and leads Cal State Fullerton in scoring (18.9 per game) and assists (4.1), while shooting 48 percent from the field.
The 6-foot-4 senior stayed at Cal State Fullerton after a tumultuous offseason that saw the departure of long-time coach Bob Burton and senior guard Isiah Umipig. Interim coach Andy Newman said his team still is dealing with the lingering issues of those departures, but he's glad Seeley is around to lead the way.
"We go as he goes and he's playing at a really high level right now.," Newman said. "He's a prolific scorer and he's got a tremendous knack for it in a lot of different ways."
This will be Seeley's third trip to Stockton to face Pacific during his college career, as he was a seldom-used freshman at Cal when the Golden Bears visited Stockton Arena in December 2009. He scored 15 points in the Titans' 69-68 win over the Tigers last season.
Seeley also has plenty of help with fellow seniors Kwame Vaughn (18 points, 4.1 assists) and Sammy Yeager (15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds), which concerns Pacific coach Bob Thomason.
"They're the toughest matchup in the conference and the most difficult to prepare for," Thomason said. "We have to keep the ball in front of us and challenge shots."
Thomason said senior forward Colin Beatty would likely start on Seeley. Beatty said Seeley's versatility makes him difficult to plan for.
"He's quick, he can handle the ball and he has a nice shot," Beatty said. "My job is to make touches difficult for him and try to get him frustrated."
Thomason said the Tigers will need to dictate pace against a Cal State Fullerton team that likes to fast break and get into shootouts.
"We're going to have to score some points and our size has to have an impact," Thomason said. "They only play seven guys, so our depth should be able to wear them down."

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A Texas judge has reversed an earlier ruling and says NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell can be questioned by attorneys for ticket-holders who sued after they were displaced when seats weren't properly installed for the 2011 Super Bowl at Cowboys Stadium.
The ruling issued Wednesday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Renee Toliver in Dallas says depositions of Goodell must be at NFL headquarters in New York no later than Aug. 5.
In February, Toliver granted an NFL motion to quash the deposition of Goodell, saying plaintiffs' attorneys hadn't met the threshold requiring a chief executive to testify.
Toliver wrote in the latest order that Goodell could be questioned on a limited range of topics.
About 1,250 temporary seats at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington were deemed unsafe just hours before the game.

The slow economy and housing market crash has finally caught up to Livingston County property assessments, resulting in lower property values and overall county assessments.
However, Livingston County Assessor Duane Kiesewetter cautioned it does not necessarily mean that owners of homes, commercial or industrial properties will get a smaller tax bill this coming year.
The value of real property is determined by actions in the marketplace — the buying and selling of property by the public over a three-year average.
Kiesewetter said that property values in the area the past few years still reflected better years in the three-year window, but this year, that is not the case. Additionally, the state, which calculates the sales ratio study used by counties, is for the first time this year including foreclosure sales.
"What has happened is home sale prices are not as high as they were, so the assessment levels, which are based on the sales ratio study, says that property in Livingston County is now slightly over-assessed," which means negative factors were used to bring assessments in line.
"Our highest negative factor was .995 down to .9437, and ended up resulting in a decrease of residential and commercial and industrial assessments, farm homes and farm home sites, unless additional changes were made by a township assessor."
Calculation of township multipliers is performed in order to achieve intra-county assessment equity of 33 1/3 percent, which Kiesewetter said has resulted in the county achieving a multiplier of 1, which neither adds nor detracts from assessments.
"The net end result, I guess, values going down may indicate taxes going down, or they may go up."
The assessor, now working out of his office in the Historic Livingston County Courthouse, said whether tax bills go up or down depends on individual taxing bodies, such as school districts and local governments.
The taxing bodies may raise rates, the amount of taxes each property owner pays per $100 of equalized assessed value, to make up for lower assessments. While there are tax caps in place in Livingston County, taxing bodies may increase extensions 5 percent or the Cost of Living Index percentage, this year at 3 percent, whichever is less.
If rates stay the same, property owners may see smaller tax bills, if rates increase, the bills may stay the same or increase as well.
"For bodies whose operating expenses go up 5 percent, obviously the base is not increasing this year and they will have to wrestle with what they need to do with the levy."
Adding to the mix is that farmland assessments went up 10 percent and will likely continue to for a number of years.
"Farmland is assessed based on a farm's ability to produce a crop. We have a soil survey the county completed about 15 or 20 years ago, that tells soil types at particular farms. The State Technical Advisory Committee (which is responsible for farmland assessments), uses a five-year moving average of commodity prices, using a mix of corn, soybeans, wheat and oat prices, with different mixes for northern and southern parts of Illinois. The committee also uses production costs and producer records and they subtract the production costs from the commodity prices on five-year averages and divide with farm lending interest rate and come up with an economic value that is then assessed at 33 1/3. The State Tech Board certifies values to the counties and basically what's driving it is the higher commodity prices —$7 and $8 corn prices and $15 to $16 bean prices. Even though production costs are going up some, commodities are going up faster. Ten percent is the maximum it can change in any year under law, so I expect this to keep going up the next few years."
And the drought the area experienced this past year will not negatively impact values, in fact it will do just the opposite, Kiesewetter said.
"The drought won't kick back down values, because in drought years, commodity prices increase." Dropping commodity prices would lower farmland assessments, but then, like the housing market, it would take a little while to feel impact, because it involves multiple year averages.
"The ag sector of the community will probably see some increases in taxes, but if rates stay the same, there will probably be some decrease for residential, commercial and industrial properties," he said.
Kiesewetter recalls negative factors applied in the late 70s early 80s, but that was at a time when there were no tax caps, the end result there was decreasing values, but not decreasing tax bills for the most part.
"We use a three-year average level for assessments, so it takes two or three years of downturn before that actually comes out on assessed values. It is now hitting Livingston County assessments," he added.
About 10,000 notices were sent out to property owners concerning change in assessments. If property owners did not receive a notice, there was no change to the assessment other than applying the township multiplier. "The majority of these notices concerned farmland assessments," he added.
"I don't know how long we'll see declining values. They won't go up until the economy improves, so this adjustment is based on what is going on with the market on residential and commercial properties. But just like it's taken a few years for the negative to hit, it will take a few years for the positive to hit as well."
Lower values may not lower tax bills
The slow economy and housing market crash has finally caught up to Livingston County property assessments, resulting in lower property values and overall county assessments.

Some people play golf to get their competitive fix. Others run marathons.
Then there is one group that simply lets nature take its course.
Facial hair gone wild will be on full display next month in Charleston during the fourth annual Southeastern Beard & Moustache Championships.
Competitors from around the country will show off the results of their untamed testosterone and carefully cultivated creations during the event, which will benefit the Lowcountry Women with Wings ovarian cancer charity.
Natural and product-enhanced styles will be judged in numerous categories, including the "Salty Dog" class for gentlemen with "distinguished" gray beards. There will even be an artificial class for ladies wanting to participate.
I have a beard, but won't be competing. My maintained fur, kept short, would not stand a chance against the unfettered follicles of the professionals. I will be enjoying the face-off from the sidelines, however, and look forward to seeing the scourge of the shaving industry on stage.
I was unable to find any Savannah entrants, despite the prevalence of beards and mustaches around here. I did speak with Bill Mitchell, a Hinesville resident who said he has been growing different facial hair styles for about 23 years after leaving the Army, where his face had been adorned solely by a mustache.
The 64-year-old's amazing curled "sideburns," styled using spray and a hot iron, won first place in the partial beard contest three times since 2009. He also became World Beard and Moustache Champion in the freestyle sideburn category after winning the 2011 competition in Trondheim, Norway. More importantly, Mitchell said the victories helped him win over his wife of 40 years, who was not a fan of his whimsical look at first.
"I used to wake up every day thinking it would be gone," Mitchell said.
This year, Mitchell will serve as a judge during the event, which will be May 25 at the Music Farm, 32 Ann St. in Charleston.
Think you've got a beard worthy of competition or just want to show off what you've got? Go to the DO Savannah page on Facebook, like us and post your follicular phenomenon.

In Win IronClad Review
How solid do you think your case is? Hardware has some strenuous demands these days. It seems like Video Cards and CPUs just get hotter don't they? What you need most is, obviously, a case with good airflow and ample fans to keep your setup cool. It's also great when you get a lot of good features for the price. In Win has a contender with a good number of fans. The IronClad comes with a total of four fans, with space to accommodate additional fans. For instance, the side panel alone can have up to six 120mm fans. Hopefully, this translates to good cooling potential! Of course it has plenty of other features to mention, but let's save those for later on in the review.
Closer Look:
Starting with what I assume is the back of the box, we have a well imposed picture of our case from the front. From judging the case from its picture and the size of the box, I can tell that it is already an impressive one. Moving on to the one side of the box, we have a table of specifications for the case. On the reverse side of the box, we have the In Win company logo above the IronClad logo centered on the box. Finally, moving onto the last side of the box, we have a list of features.
We know everything is included right off the bat, as it's already at the top along with the case. This is essentially the instruction manual and bag of hardware. Once out of the box, we find we see the case sandwiched between two pieces of foam and wrapped in a plastic bag for protection during shipment, which can be quite harsh on a case if things aren't packed correctly.
So just what is under the bag? Well, let's take it off on the next page.

The staging area is a musky rectangular room packed with a couple hundred bodies bouncing in circles and pacing back and forth like caged animals. There are many hundred more waiting upstairs for their time to come.
It's a dim room with low ceilings, and it heats up quickly as the opening rounds of the tournament get under way. With 1A-2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 6A brackets running simultaneously, the Memorial Coliseum is abuzz for the two-day state wrestling championships. The staging area is used to pair competitors correctly before they are escorted onto the floor for their matches.
Some wrestlers ease their nerves in the room by chatting with teammates and sizing up their opposition: Who will be trying to slam their face on the mat in a few minutes and what are they doing to get ready? The serious ones, on the other hand, aren't concerned with anyone else. They're the guys sitting alone with their eyes closed, walking calmly around the room or shadow wrestling in the corner; battling through the final round against the best opponent imaginable.
In a tournament of this size, it's one long waiting game. Your first match is anywhere from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and your next won't be for several more hours. That means a whole lot of time sitting in the stands waiting, watching and thinking.
About an hour before your match you get called from general seating to the staging area. From there you know you're finally up when tournament staff raise two white cards; one with your last name, weight and school on it, the other with someone else's.
That's when nerves kick in and heart rates rise. An entire season –– for some an entire high school career –– rests on what happens in the next few minutes. It's the beauty, and often the pain, of the sport: countless hours of hard work and dedication, sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears, condensed into just a few intense minutes of competition.
An escort leads you and your opponent out of the staging area, through the stadium doors and into the wide open and unnerving expanse of the arena. Your coach is at your side as you walk to the mat of your assignment, and his presence brings some grounding to the overwhelming contrast of being whisked from the muffled cave-like staging area to the bright echoing openness of the coliseum floor. It's 12 mats side-by-side surrounded by the towering rows of seating and the cheering of thousands of fans.
You feel like a gladiator about to do battle, and it is truly the experience of a lifetime.
There's little time between matches, so as soon as the one before yours is over, you tear off your warm-ups and step onto the mat, trying not to notice the reaction of the guy who just lost –– state champion dreams broken by his opponent.
At this point, nerves have given way to electric energy and pure adrenaline. It's cold, but you're dripping sweat. It's loud but your hearing is muted. It's bright, but everything outside of your little circle fades away.
The referee calls you to the center of the mat, where you are given two Velcro bands to put around your ankles. These are to help keep track of points. As simple of a task as it is, this takes you a few tries because your hands are sweaty and shaking. Green has always been your lucky color, and as luck has it you get green and your opponent red.
5 … 4 … 3… 2 … 1 … and everything goes silent.
You shake hands and go to battle. And win or lose, you leave it all on the mat. That's what wrestling is all about.
(Editor's note: Adam Lapierre was a 4A state wrestling champion in 1999.)

30 tracks, 43 minutes. Remastered version of the outsider punks' highly acclaimed 1988 album, unavailable on vinyl for 15 years. Remastered from the original analogue tapes. All original artwork presented in fine detail. CD version in gatefold sleeve with 20 page lyric booklet. Also available: Vinyl edition comprises 180g black vinyl, gatefold sleeve, poster, 8 page full size lyric booklet and download card; and a limited edition shirt featuring the cover art.
Cacophony was originally released in 1988, after a lengthy hiatus following the Death Church album in 1983. The album's subject matter repeatedly references the life of New England horror writer and misanthrope H.P. Lovecraft, and is hailed as a classic benchmark of outsider punk.
Four years after the release of Death Church, Rudimentary Peni surprised us by returning with Cacophony. At the time it confounded and delighted fans in equal measure. With retrospect it is considered by many to be the band's masterwork, as well as one of the most visionary and radical works in the history of British punk. Cacophony could be considered a concept album in the sense that its spirit is obsessed with the work of H.P. Lovecraft. Musically it is a glorious melting pot of noise-punk, heavy guitar riffs, experimental rhythms, and psuedo-pop melodies. What is truly remarkable is the vocals of Nick Blinko, who throughout the 43 minutes of Cacophony assumes at least a dozen personalities and moves from punk screams to vaudevillian characterisations to Shakespearian monologues to pop choruses, and back again. Fans of HPL will find many reference points to delight them, whilst even those who have never read the work of the horror writer will come away from Cacophony feeling as if they have been immersed in one of his stories. Throughout the album, a sense of the darkest black humour pervades - we are the audience for a kind of grotesquely jovial pantomime of word-play and musical adventure. Most definitely a headphones-on, lights-off experience.

The Dolphins have just announced the hiring of Lou Anarumo as their defensive backs coach, Phil McGeohan as their assistant wide receivers coach and Ken O'Keefe as their wide receivers coach.
As is no surprise, Brian Daboll, the offensive coordinator in 2011, has accepted the job to be offensive coordinator in Kansas City.
Anarumo (pronounced ann-UH-room-OH) comes to Miami after eight seasons as the defensive backs coach at Purdue University. Anarumo joined the Purdue staff following three seasons at Marshall, where he coached the defensive backs from 2001 to 2003. He also served as special teams coordinator in 2003. Prior to his stint at Marshall, Anarumo was assistant head coach at Harvard from 1995 to 2000, working with the defensive backs and coordinating the special teams.
McGeoghan (pronounced muh-GAY-gehn) joins Miami after spending three seasons as the wide receivers coach at the University of South Florida. McGeoghan played in the NFL for four seasons with the New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders and the New York Jets - in addition to playing in NFL Europe for the Berlin Thunder.
I don't know what it is with the Dolphins and their coaching hires for wide receivers but does it really take two coaches to handle five or six guys? The Dolphins had a similar setup last year with Steve Bush and Ike Hilliard.
O'Keefe joins the Dolphins after spending the previous 13 seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Iowa.
None of these additions have NFL coaching experience.
