I noticed that too! I got a 152 Evo but when I hold it, it feels much bigger. I laid it next to a 152 Flow Era (2011) and it seems like a much bigger board. I didn't lay them side by side so I'm not sure if the measurements are accurate on both, Maybe I will.
I think the blunted edges produces bigger "shoulders" so to speak, with the effective edge brought up.
Since I want to retain all mountain capabilities on the Evo I am really excited about this, we'll see when we get some damn snow
I've had my Proto CT 157 for a bit over a week in my office sitting right next to my NeverSummer SL 155. As I've gazed longingly at them side-by-side and prayed for an early winter, I've noticed that not only is the Proto a couple centimeters longer (155 SL vs. 157 Proto) but the Proto appears to be very much a larger board than the 157 designation. By that I mean that the difference between the two looks to be more than the 2 centimeters that the sizing would imply. I think this may be somewhat just perception over reality because the other thing I've noticed, the 157 seems to actually in fact be a larger board (say a 160) with a few centimeters cut off of the nose/tail to make the blunt shape. I know they don't actually cut down a larger board during manufacturing but the Proto's geometry, especially the longer effective edge of a standard board of the same size, makes the board seem like larger board that has been "blunted down" to a 157 length.
I've been honestly wondering if I made the wrong decision to get a 157 instead of a 154. I'm a bit large for a smaller board but the SL 155 has held up okay at my current weight. My concern was with a softer flexing board and my current weight that a 154 might be too small. Now, considering my observations comparing the two side-by-side I'm not so sure. If those observations are somewhat correct and a 154 would in fact be more equivalent to a 156-157 with the tip/tail cut off then perhaps I would have been better off with the 154.
Could go either way with it. Honestly would say get the board closest to what you ride now with out going over in length unless you already wanted to size down some.
Edge hold handles like a longer board i guess is the best way to put it now that everyone has a form of rocker.
For whatever it helps I am about 2" shorter then you and 10 lbs lighter and felt fine on the 157.
I would say it about a 3cm size up on the effective edge. I measuring the 157 Proto again a 160 Heritage and it had the same exact effective edge.
I rode the 157 and I'm 6'1 and about 185 and was able to bomb it down the hill while still being nimble enough to throw around.
I would say get the 157 but if you really want to kill it in the park you may want to size down to the 154.
Never Summer Proto 154 or 157
Hey all,
I am 175lbs 5'11 and ride on the East Coast
I cant decide which size Proto to get, i know the Proto has blunted tips which gives the sizing more of an effective edge.
So essentially the 154 rides like a 156 and the 157 rides like a 159.
I ride about 70% Freeride and 30% Park. I am looking for something to shred with but also something to kill it in the park.
Those with the Proto, is it true about the board riding like a longer board? Which size would you recommend for me?

"I used this card as a subtle Mickey mouse themed party for my 1 year old...bc of the colors...I put Mickey ears on him for the big picture and loved how I had space to write part of the theme song on the back (for those that needed further clarification :) I've been a big fan of tiny prints for a couple of years now and, once again, they did not disappoint! Beautiful and such a keepsake!"

Health Information
GlimepirideSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Glimepiride is used to treat type 2, or non-insulin-dependent, diabetes when diet and exercise alone have been ineffective. It is a type of drug called a sulfonylurea.
Common brand names:Amaryl
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine
Supplementing magnesium may enhance the blood-sugar-lowering effects of sulfonylurea drugs.1 Though no current studies have investigated whether glimepiride increases the risk of developing hypoglycemia , individuals should closely monitor their blood glucose while taking glimepiride together with magnesium supplements.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduces Effectiveness
Potential Negative Interaction
In a preliminary trial, administration of Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg per day) for three months to patients with type 2 diabetes who were taking oral anti-diabetes medication resulted in a significant worsening of glucose tolerance. Ginkgo did not impair glucose tolerance in individuals whose diabetes was controlled by diet.2 Individuals taking oral anti-diabetes medication should consult a doctor before taking Ginkgo biloba.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3 can raise blood sugar levels, which makes diabetes difficult to control.3 Use of niacin along with glimepiride may increase requirements for the drug. On the other hand, individuals who stop taking niacin while on glimepiride should monitor their blood for lower-than-usual glucose levels.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

Big thanks to Woody H on this one!!!!
Big thanks to Woody H on this one!!!!
Man you look great Stan it fits you perfect! The Jedi version is awesome. Really glad you are enjoying it. Again the height dif between us doesnt seem to have mattered.
My suggestion is you make gloves and armwraps of some kind. Tuskens view the exposure of flesh as a disgrace and offensive.
That looks great! Love the Jedi version!! Did you make the stick?
Very interesting concept. I like your yellow wall.

This could be the worst thread out there (sorry for that), but I thought some of you may get a laugh and add to it. I was browsing E-Bay (for God knows what reason) looking at Fett stuff. Some of the prices and descriptions are so over the top for the trash that is being pushed, I just had a laugh and thought I would pass it on. Maybe I am just spoiled with my MOW, FP, slave1pilot, and BM stuff.
This one claims to be highly custom and painted by Don Post himeslf (yikes - really love how they do not discern between EP 5 and EP 6)
I also got a kick out of this "ultra-custom paint with guidance from ILM model maker for the discriminating Fett fan". Looks plastic and deformed. Claims that dent was remolded to be an exact replica of the original prop, but looks like somebody went to town with a silver paint marker.
Star Wars Boba Fett Collector's Helmet costume prop is a replicated helmet from the movie...... I don't even know where to start with this one.
Have fun.

Today Facebook announced three mobile enhancements for Facebook Places, including new functionality that developers of mobile applications may incorporate into their products and a powerful new (and free) platform for connecting mobile consumers with relevant ads for nearby businesses. Today's pronouncements demonstrate the ambition and vision Facebook has for itself in mobile computing and socializing over the long term, but in the immediate future Facebook now is poised to bring the wonders of checking in to the masses.
Chances are, you are NOT reporting your location (aka "checking in") to your friends and followers in social networks. According to Forrester data from earlier this year, just 4% of US online adults have ever used location-based social networks on their mobile phones. Simply put, there hasn't been enough WIIFM ("What's In It For Me") to entice and retain the typical consumer. Now, Facebook is set to change that, lowering the bar and improving the WIIFM for a wider range of consumers. Average Facebook users who previously felt "checking in" was better suited for narcissists and techies can now realize benefits from location-based services (LBSes, also known as geolocation) via a larger and richer set of offers and deals.

After four weeks of looking back at the 2012-13 season, this week's edition of the "Canisius Men's Basketball Summer Series" starts to look forward to the 2013-14 campaign.
To take a look back at the first four weekly recaps, click these links:
Week 1
Week 2
Week 3
Week 4
As the calendar draws closer to August, this week the "Summer Series" takes a closer look at what the members of the Canisius men's basketball team are doing to prepare for the upcoming season.
The summer of 2013 is the second offseason where teams are permitted to work out as a group with coaches, per NCAA rules. In January 2012, the NCAA approved a summer access model that allows an entering or continuing men's basketball student-athlete a maximum of eight hours of athletics activities per week during the summer in which institutional staff members may conduct or supervise. Of that, no more than two hours can involve skill-related instruction, for a maximum of eight weeks. Think of these workout sessions along the same line of NFL mini-camp.
The Golden Griffins were able to work out as a full team during the first summer session at the College this year, which ran from May 20-June 20. During that time period, all but one of the members of the 2013-14 roster took part in team workouts and weight lifting sessions. The only member who was unable to work out with the team was freshman forward Jermaine Crumpton, who was not eligible to participate with the team because Niagara Falls High School did not hold its graduation ceremonies until June 21.
Since June 20, players have been working on their games on their own. Senior guard Billy Baron has used this summer to drop 15 pounds, develop his left-hand skill level and he's worked on creating his own shot.
"I've really focused on creating my own shot and I've worked on a bit of a floater as I get into the lane," Baron said. "I've also really focused on understanding the game better, knowing when to drive and kick, when to shoot, the metal aspect of the game."
Fellow senior Chris Manhertz has focused his summer on being more of an offensive threat. The Bronx, N.Y., native averaged 7.6 points per game last year to go along with his team-high 8.7 rebounds per outing.
"I am looking to make my game more well-rounded," Manhertz said. "I've focused on my jump shot and being able to put the ball on the floor as well."
The returning veterans are not the only players working on their games this summer. Junior transfer guard Jeremiah Williams was able to work with the team in the team practice sessions during the first summer class block, and he said that time on the court with his future teammates showed him the up-tempo style the Griffs play firsthand.
"Being able to work with the team showed me that I needed to work on my fitness and ball-handling," Williams said. "Coach Baron likes us to get up-and-down, and at my last school [Vincennes University] we were a bit slower tempo and we ran more set stuff on offense."
Williams said he has really worked on his ball-handling skills, and he can be seen most days dribbling two balls at one time around the gym floor in the Koessler Athletic Center. He said he also learned that being in shape at the Division I level is a bit different as well."I thought I was in pretty good shape when I got on campus, but I learned quickly that you need to be in really, really good shape, so there's been a lot of running on my own as well," Williams said.

Off-Campus Housing
Welcome to Bloomsburg University. It is our goal to ensure your transition from military service to academic environment goes as smooth as possible. We have consolidated a list of the most commonly encountered issues regarding incoming students.
The following are frequently asked questions that may serve as a resource to you. This list is not exhaustive.
Know your eligibility
Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Cost Guard personnel on active duty can use GI Bill® benefits, as can service members who are training overseas. Veterans with at least 90 days of active service after Sept. 11, 2001, are eligible for the new GI Bill®. National Guard and Reserve members with three years of active duty service after Sept. 11, 2001 also qualify for GI Bill® benefits.
Get your paperwork together
Before you can apply for the GI Bill®, you'll need to gather some documents. Make sure you have a copy of your discharge papers DD form 214, which gives your information on Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
You'll also need DD form 2384 or NOBE (Notice of Basic Eligibility) if you are applying for the MGIB and documentation if you have made contributions to any buy-in programs such as the Kicker (which you pay more money into the Montgomery GI Bill®).
DD214 Form — This is the most important document of your military career. It details any military active duty service and/or awards received. You will need to provide this document to receive Purple Heart benefits if you will be applying for Vocational Rehabilitation.
Dependents — If you have never used VA education benefits at any institution of higher education, you must complete the appropriate application form. If the student is a spouse or dependent of an active duty service member or military veteran then they must transfer their benefits to the student through the Department of Defense (DOD).
Once the Transfer of Entitlement (TOE) is approved by DOD the student must then apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to use the benefit. You can submit an electronic application directly to the VA using the online VONAPP application. Make sure you use the appropriate form (as listed below) to apply or your benefits could be delayed. Use form 22-1990E
Apply for your military benefits
Fill out a Veterans Online Application (VONAPP) through the Department of Veterans Affairs and select Form 22- 1990. You can also apply through the mail. You can apply for your benefits before selecting a program. (See Select GI Bill® below for different chapters)
How to Apply for Benefits and Financial Aid
- Determine which benefit is best for you by using the GI Bill® Road Map for Success or call the VA at 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551)
- Complete the Veterans Online Application to apply for your benefits
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), using Bloomsburg University school code (003315). New students entering in the fall term should file the FAFSA by March 1. NOTE: Any aid received via FAFSA is not the same as aid received through the GI Bill®.
- Submit a copy of your Certification of Eligibility letter to your certifying official (listed below).
After you have started classes, notify your certifying official if there's a change in the total number of credit hours for which you're registered because this affects your certification. Once you've started classes you must notify your certifying official. if there's a change in the total number of credit hours because this effects the amount of aid you receive.
Your benefits must be certified at the start of each academic year, so be sure to contact Bloomsburg Universities certifying official.

Payment Rates | Frequently Asked Questions
Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31): The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) Program is authorized by Congress under Title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 31. The mission of VR&E is to help veterans with service-connected disabilities to prepare for, find, and keep suitable jobs.
Also, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Service provides vocational-educational counseling to veterans and certain dependents. VR&E can provide a wide range of vocational and educational counseling services to service members still on active duty, as well as veterans and dependents who are eligible for one of VA's educational benefit programs.
Bloomsburg Universities veterans affairs Chapter 31 contact: Matthew Dragwa, Department of Veterans Affairs, 1123 East End Blvd. Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702, 570-821-2501. The VR&E will approve your eligibility and forward the necessary paperwork to the Veterans Affairs Desk at Bloomsburg University.

Hey gang,
I know I've seen them here, but I can't find them. I thought I saved, tham but can't find them on my hard drive, either...
Does anyone have any good pics of the ESB jumpsuit and details? I know they'd mostly be publicity shots and screen grabs, but that's fine.
I'd like to get some full body shots, and some that show details like the thigh pouches.


text: We have a convertible 1970's VW Beetle that we'd like to take around town. However, it's a convertible, and it only has lap belts in the back. As such, we don't feel comfortable putting our six year old, in her booster seat, in the back seat. There's no shoulder strap, and of course, no roof. Ideally, I'd like a 5-point harness that works with a kid's booster seat... But do any of you have any ideas that might work? The alternative is not to take her around town in this car, which is fine; but if we can find a way to secure her, that'd be great. Thanks.


text: I get kind of exasperated seeing all these posts about how lazy Mirai is and how Frank is trying so hard to get her to reach her potential and she's just unwilling. What I see is a bad, overzealous attitude on the part of Frank Carroll. I think people are all too willing to take his side of the story. Yes, he's had 2 great champions. But a bunch of mid-pack skaters too. And his attitude towards her in the KnC was awful. I don't think he's as great as he seems to think. And I think he is destroying Mirai a bit. She needs someone more fun and less bent on changing her whole being. Anyone see it the same? This is why I like John Nicks. He cultivates amazing skaters without stomping on their being. Or at least that's how it comes off. He seems pretty laid back about the whole thing- but gives his skaters amazing skills and just lets them go out there and do their thing. None of this ridiculous jedi-mind stuff that Frank does. Seems to be a calming influence on his skaters and allows them to just perform well.

The Copenhagen Consensus
The WSJ article does not explicitly say that climate change is unimportant, but reading between the lines, this is indeed the impression a reader gets from Lomborg's statements. This is the main problem with the editorial – I don't think it's honest and up-front. For example, Lomborg says that the world needs more Al Gores, for HIV/AIDS, TB, clean water, poverty, etc. It is strange that Lomborg ranks climate change as the least important, but then proceeds devoting column space to exactly climate change and not communicable diseases (other than wishing for Al Gore clones with a stronger HIV/AIDS focus). Would it not be natural to move on to solutions for HIV/AIDS and how to combat poverty and provide clean water? It's a bit strange that the Bill Clinton's foundation and Bill Gates were not mentioned in the WSJ, nor the movie – 'The Constant Gardner' (if it is films such as The Inconvenient Truth that are important). Who's making the greatest impact in their respective field is of course up to debate. One may wonder if Lomborg thinks that climate change is not a worthy cause, and that he thinks that Al Gore clones should deal with other pressing problems instead.
My main criticism of Lomborg's communication strategy is to pit several worthy causes up against each other, when in fact all needs to be addressed. Furthermore, the way he dwells on the climate change rather on the topics that he sees as more important serves to belittle the importance of climate change rather than finding solutions to the other problems. One example is that Lomborg, according to the quotes in WSJ, seems to be that a rise in the global mean sea level is not important. To quote him (the WSJ):
The U.N. tells us global warming will result in a sea-level change of one to two feet. It is not going to be the 30 feet Al Gore is scaring us with. Is this one to two feet going to be a problem? Sure," he says. "But remember that this past century sea levels rose between one-third and a full foot. And if you ask old people today what the most important things were that happened in the 20th century, do you think they are going to say: 'Two world wars, the internal combustion engine, the IT revolution . . . and sea levels rose'? It's not to say it isn't a problem. But we fix these problems.
To be fair, observations published by IPCC TAR (Fig 11.9) indicate 1-2 mm/yr between 1910-1990, implying a 10-20 cm rise over the past 100 years, so the quoted range is in agreement with the TAR. However, Lomborg has a knack of putting the problem in perspective – if the past climate change really was not by far as bad as the two world wars, it doesn't mean that climate change is unimportant (compared to the Big Bang, nothing seems important, not even HIV/AIDS…). And 50 years ago, I think it's fair to state that most people didn't think that HIV/AIDS was important either (most people hadn't heard of it…), but that doesn't mean it's unimportant now. These are some examples of rhetorical tricks he and CC use: As opposed to a wholistic solution, Lomborg presents a picture where one can applies a few fixes here and there. Thus, I think Lomborg, CC, and/or WSJ are/is sneaky and try to wrap a hidden message (that they don't believe that climate change is important) inside another story.

Happy Easter!
Friday, April 6, 2012Filed under: easter, Filed under: etsy finds, Filed under: giveaway
I started stocking up on basket goodies about a month or so ago, as I knew my shopping time would be cut drastically once she was here {boy was I right about that!}. Of course I just have to show some of the fun contents she'll be "opening" from the Easter Bunny come Sunday...
Two Sisters Designs, for a fun basket-ordered it in pink with polka dots and her name added to the design! It turned out perfectly.
Instead of the normal hustle and bustle of Easter, this year we'll be celebrating at our house...the thought of having Caroline make her church debut this Sunday makes me a little apprehensive, so we'll be waiting just a bit longer to venture to the church nursery.
However, in proper Easter day ritual, we'll be all dressed up in our Sunday best and will be spending the afternoon with our families...even better, we'll be having one of my favorite holiday traditions--a Honeybaked Ham!
I'll be giving away a $25 gift certificate, too...just leave me a comment telling me your favorite Easter food tradition and why it's your favorite--contest runs through Monday so make sure to participate!!
Happy Easter friends...

Favorite Easter Food - would HAVE to be my Mom's homemade Potato Salad .. We do the "un-traditional" Easter brunch .. we use the ham to make sandwiches, and have a "cook out" type of theme .. lots of deviled eggs, baked beans, chips, dips, veggies, and of course dessert .. This year we will be tackling Whoopie Pies! :)ReplyDelete

Our Easter has become less typical the older my grandparents have gotten. For a few years we ate at the "Chinese Country Buffet". I lie not. My grandmother thought it was a great idea because they had something for everyone :-)
I think this year we are back to Honeybaked Ham and sides at the house. Woo-hoo!!

The one food I can't live without on holidays is my grandmother's deviled eggs. My dad's mom is the only one still on Earth with us and she makes them each time we get together - they are gone within the first 15 minutes of everyone getting there. It is by far one of the things I look forward to each holiday.ReplyDelete

Robertson continued conservatives' distortion of facts in Schiavo case
Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
Pat Robertson, founder of Christian Coalition of America and host of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club, made misleading and incorrect statements regarding the Terri Schiavo case during a March 31 appearance on Fox News.
First, Robertson attempted to suggest that Schiavo was not in a persistent vegetative state by referencing the testimony of "a noted Nobel Prize-winning neurologist named Dr. Himmelfarb." However, as Media Matters previously noted, Dr. William Hammesfahr -- to whom Robertson was presumably referring -- was never legitimately nominated for the prize, let alone received it.
Robertson also criticized the courts for their role in the Schiavo case, calling the judiciary "out of control" and in need of being "reined back in." Robertson further claimed that Republicans need to fight the "out of control" judiciary by putting an end to Democratic filibusters of some of President Bush's nominees. He asserted that "the Supreme Court has got to change. They have asserted power never given them under the Constitution, and we've got to get back to constitutional democracy, which is what our country was built on."
Robertson's linkage of the Schiavo case to the debate on judicial nominations is premised on the idea that the federal judges deciding the Schiavo case were not conservatives, a situation that would presumably be ameliorated by the addition of those Bush nominees who have been or may be filibustered by Democrats. But federal courts at every level rejected the claim by Schiavo's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, that the law gave them the right to have Schiavo's feeding tube restored and to a de novo review, or a complete rehearing, of the case in federal court. These decisions were not in fact the actions of liberal judges. While the district court judge was an appointee of President Clinton, the 12-judge en banc panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which rejected the Schindlers's two appeals, has a 7-5 Republican majority. Moreover, one of the two dissenters who favored hearing the case was appointed by Clinton. Finally, the U.S. Supreme Court, which Robertson specifically attacked, is made up of seven Republican appointees and two Democratic appointees.
Robertson made his comments during Fox News' special coverage of the Schiavo case between 4 and 5 p.m. ET. The show's guest list during this special coverage was anything but "fair and balanced." The show featured six guests who argued that Schiavo's feeding tube should have been restored: Robertson, entertainer Pat Boone, Focus on the Family founder James C. Dobson, nationally syndicated columnist Cal Thomas, former presidential candidate Ralph Nader, and Cliff Kincaid of the conservative watchdog group Accuracy in Media. Only two guests expressed contrary views: David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation, and Paul Levinson, chairman of the Department of Communications and Media Studies at Fordham University.
From Fox News' March 31 special coverage of the Terri Schiavo case:
BRENDA BUTTNER (Fox News senior business correspondent): Sir, I wanted to ask you also about the Terri Schiavo case. You have called this judicial murder, I believe, a judicial execution. Those are very strong words.
ROBERTSON: Well, it's exactly what happened. You know, on my program today, I read in detail the finding of a noted Nobel Prize-winning neurologist named Dr. Himmelfarb [sic]. This man examined her for several hours, and his conclusion was that she could swallow, she was responsive to voices, she was responsive to music. That she could feel pain, that she had been given painkillers. This woman was not persistent vegetative. And Dr. Himmelfarb [sic] said I've treated patients that were worse than she was and brought them to some kind of a recovery. This was an execution. I mean, you couldn't do that to a prisoner in a jail, a convicted cop killer wouldn't have gotten treatment like that.
BUTTNER: Well, what do you do next? Terri is sadly dead. What is the next step in this fight?
ROBERTSON: Listen, to me -- I spoke to the National Press Club several months ago, and they said, "What is your principal agenda?" I said, "It's judges, judges and judges." I think the judiciary is out of control. The way that that federal district court judge in Florida thumbed his nose at the United States Congress is outrageous. And I think it's time those guys get reined back in.
BUTTNER: How do you fight against the judicial, which is appointed in many cases by the president?
ROBERTSON: Yes. Well, one thing that I would suggest doing is you give them a 12-year term, period, end of story and tell them goodbye. This business that -- the constitution says they serve on good behavior. And I think we need a constitutional amendment to take them out of there. That's for starters. But I do know that there are going to be vacancies on the Supreme Court, and I think, as far as I can tell, on the circuit courts. The Democrats have filibustered a number of wonderful people, a black woman, a Hispanic immigrant, etc.-- brilliant lawyers, and the Republicans need to break that filibuster. And if they call it the nuclear option-- constitutional option, whatever it is -- get those people confirmed. But the Supreme Court has got to change. They have asserted power never given them under the constitution, and we've got to get back to constitutional democracy, which is what our country was built on.

Vodafone hosted its annual global analyst event in London recently, and it was a good event. Vodafone's CEO Vittorio Colao kicked it off with a passionate endorsement of Vodafone's enterprise ambitions. But will Vodafone's market position as a leading mobile telco give it a tangible advantage in the broader enterprise global telecoms marketplace? We believe there is a good chance it will because:

Counseling and Behavioral Therapy
Consider counseling or behavioral therapy if you feel that stress or emotions play a role in your eating habits. Obesity is often associated with unhelpful thought patterns related to your social image and frustration with attempts to lose weight. Often these thoughts can be a barrier to success. By working with a therapist, you can learn to understand:
- When you tend to overeat
- Why you tend to overeat
- How to combat overeating tendencies
Therapy may help improve adults' short-term weight loss. Therapy can also be beneficial for children and teens who are obese. Kids who are trying to lose weight may get the most benefit from group therapy that focuses on diet and behavior changes.
Weight Loss Programs
Weight loss programs are available in a number of different formats. Some provide only group support. Others provide one-on-one counseling along with meal replacements. Programs are also available online, where you can join a chat room or add your comments to a message board. No matter which format, many people find that getting support is helpful.

Victor in Chile - check the clip!
Watch the clip of Victor Fernandez in Chile. Full-on wave action!
´Chile is one of my favourite destinations in the world, a country that I visit at least once a year. This year I spent nearly two months, we score great surfing in the first 3 weeks and very good windsurfing in the last 20 days of the trip. It´s being great to share these moments with team mates and friends as Klaas Voget, Cisco Casas, Nacho Rocha, Arthur Arutkin, Aleix, Eric Sanllehy, Filferro and the local windsurfers from Chile. Looking forward to come back in november for the PWA World Cup´.

Brazilian President Luis Ignacio Lula de Silva believes it is time for OPEC to recognize the emerging oil impact of his nation and make it a member of the oil producing nations' club. In 2007, a uage oil reserve was disccovered off the coast of Brazil's Rio de Janeiro area. The find could well catapult Brazil's oil reserve by about 40% which should make Brazil an emerging economic powerhourse. Lula wants to combine the enormous work his nation has done in ethanol production with the new oil reserves to prove Brazil is no longer a third world nation, but an important figure in modern oil production. His goal is that by 2025, ethanol will handle all internal needs of the nation for oil which leaves the newly discovered oil to be sold abroad.
Lula, in an interview with Der Spiegel, argues Europe should not get involved in ethanol production but leave that aspect of energy to Latin American and Africa. "Our production costs are unbeatable," he argues, and it is time for Europe and American to accept the role Brazil can play in the energy crisis facing the world.
Brazil brings to oil the presence of a stable government run on democratic princples and willing to cooperate with the world.

Arsène Wenger faced the media on Thursday ahead of the Premier League clash with Wigan Athletic.
Here's a round-up of some of the manager's quotes. For the main headlines, visit our Digest page:
on the January transfer window...
What is important is this team develops in the way we want to play. I have seen some interesting aspects on Monday night at Reading. Let's see how far this team can go. If we can add one or two exceptional players, we will do it. What we do not want to do is add players just because people put us under pressure to buy players. That is where we have to be strong enough. If we find a player who will give us something special, we will do it - but that in January will not be easy.
on having money to spend...
We have money, and why should I not spend it if it is to find the right players? I believe as well the first and most important thing is to keep confidence in the players we have. If we are consistent, we can come back.
on his long-term plans...
I cannot give them [players] that insurance because that decision does not depend on me. The insurance I give them is the Club has faith in them and at the moment I decide the technical policy of the Club, and I believe it is important that the Club has these players for a longer period.
Honestly, I don't know more than you about the result. I believe it's very open. There's no real dominating team in the league at the moment. You see that when you look at the results of the teams. There's no team above anybody else.

Newbie question
Please disregard BigRed''s comments about "elitist,shallow" sailors. BigRed has never spent more than $1,000 on anything (unless you count that night in Vegas in 1972).
If you are fit and don''t mind getting wet, BigRed''s low budget plan would seem to be very rewarding. Although I wouldn''t recommend restoring a leaf catcher if you know nothing about boats! But keep in mind, plenty of competent sailors have started out in low budget keelboats.
There are a couple of very large lake (reservoirs) on the Columbia, so you shouldn''t have problem finding other sailors.
I would expect their recommendations to be very helpful.
Also, you can probably get plenty of free lessons if you know how to stock a cooler properly.
Newbie question
Ahoy Jeff if your answer to the gentlemans question was off base for his area why go on with the same old drivel. My point was he could learn a lot over the next 15 years in the small venues that are available to him. In addition his area has a lack of vessels to chose from so anything might just have to do for now. For the last time fixed keel boats should not be considered as easy or desirable to trailer. Period. Rigging any vessel of this size is impractical at ramps and dammed hard if the rig is of good size. Period. The man needs some down time don''t keep him dreaming his life away. The best dreamed are those realised for what they are, GO SAILING ! GO SAILING ON ANYTHING !, LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT SAILING BY DOING IT!. To say what you''ve said about nice boats (money) justs proves my point and although your right not everyone turns out that way but you have. To insult every sailboat owner not up to your standards is the very definition of arrogance. Junkers as you call them number in the hundreds of thousands probably millions by your own standards. But thats just my opinion. Big Red 56 Pirate of Pine Island.
Newbie question
We own a Morgan 384 docked at Toledo Beach Marina on Western Lk. Erie. Use to Live in Oak Harbor, live in Detroit now. Lots of opportunity to learn. Do you belong to a sail club? I believe there is one in Pt. Clinton, sailors are always willing to teach those who want to learn.
E-mail me at email@example.com and we can discuss some options. ASA sailing classes are great. I am sure there are places in Ohio that offer classes, if not I know a few in the area.
Newbie question
Talk about "elitist, arrogant, and shallow", "ludicrous and expensive". I too have owned quite a few boat that I bought for well under $1000 dollars, but generally after long periods of hard work and a lot of ''new'' and used gear, I have ended up with as much money in these bargains as I could have bought a fully operational and several times more expensive boat for and I have gnerally made out better financially when I have bought boats that were well maintained by prior owners (but perhaps in need of minor cosmetics) than when I have bought boats that were somewhat abandoned. I do agree with your ''covered in leaves sitting in someone''s yard'' point.
The original poster is new to sailing. He wants to learn to sail. There will be plenty of time for him to learn to restore old junkers later.
I also disagree with your wholesale condemnation of up to 25 foot keel boats. Most of the larger adult oriented sailing schools that I know of use 22 to 26 foot keel boats quite effectively to teach sailing. Obviously in this person''s case, there are not adequate facilities where they will be sailing for that solution to work, but is an excellent way to learn to sail in many venues around the country.
Boats like J-24''s can be bought as cheaply as $3500 in non-racing condition and are easy enough to sail, and have so much literature on how to sail one available, and have such a surplus of good used J-24 gear available that I think J-24''s can make an excellent, low cost starter boat for someone who thinks that they might be interested in learning performance sailing. Literally thousands of people have learned to sail on J-24''s or have owned J-24''s as first boats.
Lastly, learning to sail on performance oriented boats, does not automatically make "elitist, arrogant, and shallow sailors" any more than learning to sail on junkers automatically makes people who can''t be tolerant of people prefer to sail or recommend that others sail on nice boats.
Newbie question
We are looking for someone willing/qualified to give my family some sailing instruction. "We" includes myself, my wife, our 13 yr old and our 26 yr old if he can find the time. We bought our 23'' Paceship last May and went out several times w/ experienced sailors who helped us learn how to make the boat go. We also sailed by ourselves whenever we could but there are lots of basic things and finer points I still have questions about...anchoring, emergencies, etc. I am reluctant to practice such things w/o being shown the proper actions first. We dock on Lake Erie at Port Clinton, OH. We don''t expect it to be free, but hope it would be reasonable for a family group. Am I dreaming?
Newbie question
Ahoy Joe 206, Big Red 56 here, I reccomend you buy anything you can get your hands on including a project boat that required you to work on it before you sail. Nothing is going to prepare you except experience. I suggest you start small and trailer what ever you buy. Centerboard is just fine however considering your age and marital status I suggest something two people can enjoy. Any sailing dinghy 16'' and up ought to do. Highlanders are nice, many small boats that are poor sailers by other people standards are just fine to start out with. The point is buy anything now and get started. I do not reccomend any thing as big as 25 + feet or any fixed keel boat because the problems and limitations in your travel restrictions will make the whole pross to cumbersome and less enjoyable.( Time and prep and expense) I have never spent more than One thousand dollars for any of the boats I own and there are plenty more where they come from. If you see something sitting in a yard covered with leaves stop and ask.You''d be suprised what great deals are just sitting there for the asking. To place anyone in your position in a "J" or similar racing class boat is ludicrous and expensive. You will be a poor sailor for the simple fact is you don''t know the difference and you''ll never learn starting off at the top. What you will become is another elitist arrogant and shallow sailor. If your plans for the future are sailing take my advise , otherwise you''d better have plenty of money to buy ,maintain and sail your dream. Big Red the Pirate of Pine Island.
Newbie question
Thanks We always thought sailing was way too expensive for us even though we really wanted to start and then just playing around on the internet we found that it really isn''t. So instead of looking at getting a boat in 10 or 15 years we are looking at getting one in maybe a year or two. I''m trying to soak up all the information I can right now. Do you have any good books in mind that I should read? We are already looking into a week vacation and taking sailing lessons. So far the internet has been a great help to me. All the people I meet online at the sailing places are great and very helpful. Although I''m still trying to get all the termanology down.
Newbie question
My Wife and I just got into Sailing this last summer, we went for a short ride, and got hooked! We found a Chrysler 22'', at a very good price. Do a lot of "book learning", and follow up with practice. I have found that other sailors are very glad to share their knowledge and experience. Good luck!!
Newbie question
Thanks for the advice! I don''t know of any hoists in this area. I was fully intending to stay far away from the favored powerboat areas. They''re too darn noisy anyways, but thanks for letting me know about the wakes. I had never heard that before.
Newbie question
One of the J/Boats weeklong sessions (or a similar one) in the Caribbean or Florida would probably be a good thing for you to learn with, and a fun time as well. Jeff forgot to mention the J/24 as a possible option. There are a lot of them around, generally, and they can be had for less than $10,000 if you''re just looking for one to learn on. You really would need a hoist to get it in & out though. FYI most sailors avoid lakes that are heavily frequented by powerboats because the wakes shake the wind from the sails and can stop you dead in the water.

You've heard of those underground dinners, right? Pop-up restaurants? Well, Hub and I were unexpected stand-ins for a good friend of ours who couldn't make it. I had always wanted to attend an event like this but never really gotten around to it. Such fun!
It was held at My Private Chef in Deep Ellum by Chef Ryan Barnett. There were two communal tables and a four course dinner. Delicious! Ryan likes to focus on locally sourced food. The freshness and purity of the flavors really showed through in each dish.
Our first course was a chilled mussel salad with peach and grapefruit. A light vinaigrette and the bitterness of the greens perfectly complimented the shellfish and the fruit. I would have never thought of a mussel salad, but I will from now on. It was very nice.
Next, a veloute' of sweet Texas corn topped with a little crab and some thinly sliced green onion. And sweet it was. It was delicately, yet fully flavored. Creamy and smooth, delicious with the little touch of crab.
I wanted to pick up the bowl and drink it. But, I behaved and used my spoon!
Next on to the fish. Flounder served with an assortment of local squash. Very nice. A squash blossom was a lovely touch, as well. The flounder was cooked perfectly.
So good. I love fish. But, what I don't usually like at all is lemon desserts. I am glad that I'm not the type that won't even try something I have disliked in the past because the lemon tart was fantastic! Not overpowering. Tender crust. It really was excellent.
Chef Ryan will be doing these dinners every two weeks. We went to the first one on the 3rd. So check in with him for more info… firstname.lastname@example.com. Request to be on the mailing list if you want to be notified of new dinners. This one was $50 for four courses. It was BYOB with wine service provided. The service was great. Conversation was lively and the food… wonderful!

The Greenland Ice
A third relevant study is a recent paper in the Journal of Glaciology by Zwally et al. (2005) on the ice mass changes on Greenland and Antarctica. They use the same satellite obsevations (ERS 1 and 2) as Johanessen et al. and again find that the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins (-42 ± 2 Gt/year = -46 ± 2 km3/year below the equilibrium-line altitude – ELA), but growing in the inland (+53 ± 2 Gt/year = 58 ± 2 km3/year). The mass estimates have been converted to volume estimates here, assuming the density of ice is 0.917 g/cm3 at 0°C, so that the mass of one Gt of ice is roughly equivalent to 1.1km3 ice*. This means that the Greenland ice has an overall mass gain by +11 ± 3 Gt/year (=10 ± 2.7 km3/year) which they estimated implied a -0.03 mm/year SLE over the period 1992-2002.
The critical point for Greenland is whether the increased rate of glacier motion more than compensates for the greater accumulation on the surface. While the broad picture of what is happening is consistent between these papers, the bottom-line value for Greenland's mass balance is different in all three cases. Looking just at the dynamical changes observed by Rignot & Kanagaratnam, there is an increased discharge of about 0.28 mm/year SLE from 1996 to 2005, well outside the range of error bars. This is substantially more than the opposing changes in accumulation estimated by Johannessen et al and Zwally et al, and is unlikely to have been included in their assessments. Thus, the probability is that Greenland has been losing ice in the last decade. We should be careful to point out though that this is only for one decade, and doesn't prove anything about the longer term. As many of the studies make clear, there is a significant degree of interannual variability (related to the North Atlantic Oscillation, or the response to the cooling associated with Mt. Pinatubo) such that discerning longer term trends is hard.
The largest contributions to sea level rise so far are estimated to have come from thermal expansion, with the melting of mountain glaciers and icecaps being of second order. Looking forward, the current (small) imbalance (whether positive or negative) of the Greenland ice sheet is not terribly important. What matters is if the melting were to increase significantly. Ongoing observations (most promisingly from the GRACE gravity measurements, Velicogna et al, 2005) will be useful in monitoring trends, but in order to have reasonable projections into the future, we would like to be able to rely on ice sheet models. Unfortunately, the physics of basal lubrication and the importance of ice dynamics highlighted in the Rignot & Kanagaratnam results are very poorly understood and not fully accounted for in current ice sheet models. Until those models include these effects, there is a danger that we may be under-appreciating the dynamic nature of the ice sheets.

Junior Connor Panas (Toronto, Ontario) was named the MAAC Player of the Week on Tuesday. Panas wins the award for the second time this year from the conference office.
Panas went 8-for-11 with three home runs and 10 RBI as Canisius extended its season-long winning streak to nine games and moved into first place in the MAAC standings. Panas matched his career-high with four hits and set a career high with four RBI in the 5-0 win in the series opener. The junior then hit what proved to be the game-winning homer with a two-run shot in the sixth inning of a 4-2 win in the middle game. Panas hit two homers in the series finale, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored and again driving in four runs.
Panas was also named the MAAC Player of the Week on March 25. He joins teammate Jimmy Luppens as the only two players in the league to be named MAAC Player of the Week twice this season.
The Canisius baseball team has now won eight weekly awards from the MAAC, the highest total in the conference as no other school has claimed more than four awards in 2014.
On Monday, Panas earned Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week honors, becoming the second Golden Griffin to earn the distinction this season. Junior Rohn Pierce received the honor after the first weekend of the season.
Canisius (31-14, 14-4 MAAC), having already clinched a spot in the six-team MAAC Championship (May 21-25 in Lakewood, N.J.), returns to the field for a three-game series at rival Niagara University this weekend.

I have been poking around and looking for a deal on a 10 or 12 foot pod for a while now. I was about to bite the bullet and buy a new one when a buddies wife hears me talking with him about the purchase. She says, hey, I have a 10 footer hanging on the back of the shop that I haven't used in 20 years. You can use it. She won't sell it to me, and I can't paint it. So I now have a free light blue 10 foot pod to use as long as I like.
I gave the pod a good once over. I will be doing a bit of work to strengthen the external joint where the two halves meet. I plan to used fiberglass resin where there are some minor cracks in the original joint seal and to fill in a few missing joint areas before putting it in the water. I have enough OD Green Cordura and some plastic garden mesh so I can make up open water and brush covers for the pod that will hide the light blue color for hunting.
From my point of view this is a huge score. I have all the stuff I need to make it huntable at the house. Jan even loaned me the dolly cart she recently bought. She laughed and said she is not sure why she bought it since she will probably never take the pod out. I figure a year or two into the pod sitting at my place she may just let me buy it. If not, I have free use of it for a year or two anyway. The best part is that the pod is very old and still in great shape. I believe she bought it for $225 when she was in college a bunch of years ago. Which means that eventually I should be able to get it for a good price.
I plan to add two cleats to the pod for front and rear anchoring along with two removable rope carry handles. I chatted with Jan about the additions. She agreed they would be nice to have. I am planning to sand it down a bit and repaint it light blue which she agreed to. Jan was dead set against OD Green or Camo. I always try to return borrowed items better than they were when I got them.
I already figured out how I can get Bella and I in the pod without having to shoot over her. I am still looking around for an 8 foot pod or another small craft that is just big enough I can put Bella in it next to me since this pod is rather tight with the two of us. We will see what I come up with before season comes.

What's Next?
October 5, 2012
Founder of RELEVANT, dad of Cohen, follower of Jesus, podcaster, design nerd, fan of the Magic and Gators. But not in that order. Connect on Twitter: www.twitter.com/cameronstrang
For the past nine years, the team behind RELEVANT magazine has sought to serve emerging church leaders through various publications, books and resources. We've sought to challenge the status quo and push ministry leaders to ask tough questions behind their motivations and actions.
We're interested in the future of the Church—in how an unprecedented access to technology, globalization and shifting cultural perspectives today affects tomorrow's Christian community. And since we're an independent media company with an affinity for innovation, we're always looking at what's coming, what's emerging and what's changing—and how that affects the way we shape our media to have the greatest impact for our mission, for our readers and for those who partner with us.
Through RELEVANT, we reach a broad national audience of passionate twenty- and thirtysomethings who, because of their faith, want to change the world they live in. We cover the ideas and things relevant to their lives, whether it be faith, culture or intentional living. In short, we like to cover what's next.
Which brings us to where we are today.
Next talks to all of the leaders within the ever-growing RELEVANT audience.
And most exciting for us, Next is part of RELEVANT. It's now a branded section of content inside each issue of the magazine, as well as a robust part of this very website. Through Next, we're increasing our reach to all types of Christians in all kinds of influential positions—namely, those who are shaping culture.
We're excited to reach a broader range of leaders within the RELEVANT audience. Next will give everyone, regardless of where they are in their personal, spiritual and professional growth, a wider breadth of content and a broadened perspective of missional living and vocational living outside the traditional roles of church ministry.
We look forward to this new season and are excited about the opportunities to continue serving the leaders shaping the future of the Church—both inside and outside those traditional four walls.

Great -- I've been looking for more stories on Christian social entrepreneurship online, and I'm excited to see what happens with Next.
Awesome. I'm actually just finishing writing a book on this very topic!
I love the mag but I do get a bit annoyed when everything on starting ministry seems to be aimed at the young. My husband and I didn't start in mission until we were in out mid 50s. Selling all we had and moving from England to Ukraine and starting a ministry for disadvantaged children. We are still here now nearly 10 years later, but everything seems to be aimed at the young.
Is this the new Neue magazine. I've been trying to get it for a while but it will never let me subscribe. Anyone have any information

Wittenberg's School of Community Education Graduates Distinguished 2014 Class
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – As more than 390 Wittenberg University students cross the stage in picturesque Commencement Hollow during the 169th annual Commencement exercises on May 17, 2014, another round of rousing cheers is sure to come from family and friends of "non-traditional" students who earn their degrees through the School of Community Education (SCE).
SCE students often juggle family commitments, jobs and other life challenges as they work toward graduation, and their stories are frequently moving examples of perseverance and dedication. In 2014, this includes several veterans who studied at Wittenberg after returning from their military service to complete their degrees, including Robert Beckel, who previously served in the United States Army, and is earning his bachelor's degree in sociology.
Many SCE students transfer to Wittenberg from one or more schools, and some endure lengthy commutes to attend classes. Despite the obstacles, 12 of the 17 SCE graduates in 2014 have also gained membership in Wittenberg's Eta chapter of Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL), the national adult honorary.
Among them is Misty Turner, a first generate college graduate, earing a degree in organizational leadership; Claudia Hearl, who moved from Germany to the United States in 2008 with her husband, a United States Air Force Officer, and is earning a degree in international studies; and Tanja Manley, from Berlin, Germany, who moved to the United States with her husband, and they celebrated the birth of their first child last spring.
Manley will earn a bachelor's degree in geography and aspires to eventually earn a master's degree and work in GIS.
Her message to "non-traditional" students who want to continue their education: "If you are looking for a university that has small class sizes, a devotion to developing practical knowledge, and professors who care about the success of their students, Wittenberg is for you. Wittenberg has more to offer than just a beautiful campus. The students, teachers, and staff transform Wittenberg into what we know it as: a great place to learn that prepares us for all the challenges we have yet to face in our lives."
Each year, numerous SCE graduates earn Latin honors cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude, which signify students with grade point averages of 3.5 or higher while studying in a wide range of majors. In 2014, nine SCE graduates will have their names called on Commencement Day with such Latin honors attached to them as the students earn diplomas in nine different subjects.
Commencement is the final day of an academic journey for SCE graduates, the culmination of years of determination, diligence and dedication. And for that, much applause is warranted.

Epping Elementary Honor Society collects for overseas troops
By Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent | October 25. 2013 9:46PM
Fifth-graders from the National Elementary Honor Society at Epping Elementary School collected nearly 1,000 items to be used as stocking stuffers to be sent to U.S. troops overseas in time for Christmas.Jason Schreiber
They were so excited to collect stocking stuffers to send to American troops overseas for Christmas that they launched a drive before the induction ceremony.
They filled several boxes with everything from gum, breath mints and tea bags to nail clippers, boxes of cookies and small bottles of hand sanitizer.
"Talk about patriotism. I'm speechless," she said.
The students hope their effort will inspire other kids to help out the troops who will be away for the upcoming holidays.
The students seemed to take the donation deadline seriously.
Honor Society member Owen Hayes, 10, said the students split up into groups to collect the items from preschool to grade five.
Meghan Murphy, 10, said she was also surprised by the number of items collected.
The group's advisor, first-grade teacher Phyllis Mahalaris, said she was amazed by how the students came together to pull off the drive so quickly.
"They did this all in one week. They rallied together," she said. "We knew when we first met with them as a group that they were a very special group. They are enthusiastic. They are hard-working, they are creative. They just have a lot of good ideas."
"They're far away from home at the holidays and this is a way to help them a little bit and give the kids a chance to do something that's within their powers," he said.
