Breeders' Cup World Championships October 24-25: Classic - Thursday Notes
Casino Drive (Tr: Kazuo Fujisawa; ex. rider: Naruhito Kasai ) – Casino Drive, tThe unbeaten 3yo colt from Japan, jogged 3f on Hollywood Park's Cushion Track under assistant trainer Naruhito Kasai before being shipped to Santa Anita Thursday morning.
"He is still fresh after the five-furlong work here yesterday and happy," said Nobutaka Tada, racing manager for Hidetoshi Yamamoto.
Tada said that trainer Kazuo Fujisawa is scheduled to arrive from Japan today and will be here to supervise Casino Drive's training Friday for the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic.
He trained from the isolation barn at Hollywood Park the last few weeks, where he was joined by stablemate Champagne Squall, a maiden 3yo.
"He's calm, relaxed, very professional and experienced with travel," said Tada. "He is very elegant in the way he behaves."
Tada concedes the colt faces a major challenge.
"He has only raced three times and his biggest win was a Group 2 (Peter Pan) against 3-year-olds," said Tada. "He faces the champion (Curlin) and several Group 1 winners.
"But on the good side, he is still fresh and hasn't had too many hard races. We believe in his potential and ability."
Champs Elysees (Tr: Robert Frankel; ex. rider: Goncalino Almeida) – Trainer Robert Frankel sent his Danehill horse Champs Elysees through a 1 1/4m gallop Thursday morning as he moved toward his date Saturday in the Classic at Santa Anita.
The Hall of Fame trainer likes the way his $1.2-million earner has adapted to the Arcadia track's Pro-Ride synthetic surface.
"He likes this track; there's no doubt about that," he said. "He trains good here. He strides right out. He lowers his body and really stretches out. I know that Curlin has a long stride, but I think this horse reaches longer.
"I tried to train him in New York on the dirt and he wouldn't go faster than 1:03 (for 5f). But he handles the main here just fine."
Of Champs Elysees' 19 starts, 18 have been on grass courses. His other outing was a troubled trip and a third-place finish in the Santa Anita Handicap last March when the track had a form of Cushion Track synthetic, which has since been replaced.
New York-based Alan Garcia will mount the 5yo horse for the first time and they'll break from the outside post 12. They are listed at 15-1 on the morning line.
Colonel John (Tr: Eoin Harty; ex. rider: Iggy Puglisi) – Owen Costello, assistant to trainer Eoin Harty, reported on Thursday morning that Colonel John is training brilliantly as they make their final preparations for the Classic.
While the 3yo son of Tiznow, who won both the Santa Anita Derby and the Travers Stakes this year, has to take on a world class field stocked with older horses, Harty is convinced that his charge has earned the right to go to the gate.
"I would not have entered him if I did not believe with all of my heart and soul that this horse has the ability to run with these horses," said Harty.
Colonel John hasn't raced since winning the Travers by a nose at Saratoga on Aug. 23, but he has tuned up for the Classic with a pair of bullets among a solid set of works at Santa Anita in October.
"He bounced back over the summer and has matured over the course of time," said Harty.
Colonel John galloped over the Pro-Ride surface and stood in the gate this morning.
Curlin (Tr: Steve Asmussen; ex. rider: Carlos Rosas) – Stonestreet Stables' Curlin galloped at Santa Anita Thursday morning, stood in the starting gate, and came home through the paddock accompanied by Pancho the pony and assistant trainer Scott Blasi, pretty much a routine morning for the defending Classic champion.
Exercise rider Carlos Rosas was aboard as usual and commented afterward, "He's a superstar. He's getting over the ground here very well. I know there's a big difference between the mornings and afternoons, but he's showing us very good signs. I don't think the surface (Pro-Ride) is going to be a problem at all."
Trainer Steve Asmussen has been pleased with Curlin's training all week but said, "The synthetic track is the question."
A win in the Classic would certainly secure Horse of the Year honors for Curlin, who earned the accolade last year. If so, he would join an elite list of two-time Horses of the Year: Cigar (1995-96), John Henry (1981, 1984), Affirmed (1978-79), Forego (1974-76), Secretariat (1972-73), Kelso (1960-64), Whirlaway (1941-42), and Challedon (1939-40).
"Right now we're very happy with what he's done so far," said Asmussen. "I'm very excited for the opportunity to run him in the Classic again."
Duke of Marmalade (Tr: Aidan O'Brien) – While he didn't predict a victory over Curlin, trainer Aidan O'Brien handed out high praise Thursday for his Classic starters, Duke of Marmalade and Henrythenavigator, both Group 1 winning turf runners.
"These two colts are as good colts as we've ever had," he said. "They have tough constitutions. They both handle fast ground. Obviously, the Duke stays very well. We're not sure about Henry, but he looks like he could get a mile-and-a-quarter.
"I don't think we've had two better colts than those. But they've raced hard all season and they haven't missed a dance and they haven't sidestepped a race. Even with Henry when the ground was on the slow side, and we maybe should have pulled back, but he still ran and ran well."
Among O'Brien's 44 Breeders' Cup starters is the two-time winner High Chaparral, Classic runner-up Giant's Causeway and Mile runner-up Rock of Gibraltar.
"I don't think we've probably ever had two better colts as racehorses," he said. "Look at their records, both of them. They've run in Group 1 after Group 1 after Group 1. Henry was a Coventry winner and the other horse ran with an injury all last year, and was just beaten in the Queen Elizabeth. I couldn't say, we've had two horses with constitutions and ability better than those."
O'Brien did not predict that either would defeat Curlin, the 7-5 morning line favorite and defending champion.
"We don't expect anything to happen," he said. "Usually when you expect something to happen or really want something to happen it usually doesn't happen. If it happens it will be great. They are two very serious horses."
Duke of Marmalade carried a five-race winning streak into the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. O'Brien said the tactics to ensure a strong pace did not work out and the Danehill colt and jockey John Murtagh finished seventh, 3 ¾ lengths behind the winner, the unbeaten filly Zarkava.
"Obviously, you'd say a mile-and-a-half on the grass might not be an ideal (prep) for the Classic, but the Arc was there and it's such a prestigious race and worth so much money, we felt we had to let him take his chance when the ground was OK," O'Brien said.
"He's in good form and the minute Johnny (Murtagh) came in after the Arc he said he pulled up real good. Always, the lad's first impressions are what you like to hear. He was very happy. He didn't come in for one minute and say he was gone or down. If he did, you'd be worried. He said he never really got into top gear."
Duke of Marmalade cantered 1m on the main track Thursday morning.
Fairbanks (Tr: Todd Pletcher) – The 5yo Hawthorne Gold Cup winner Fairbanks galloped 1 1/4m in advance of the most demanding assignment of his career and his first test on a synthetic surface. Team Valor's son of Giant's Causeway, the anticipated pacemaker in the Classic, has worked steadily over Santa Anita's Pro-Ride surface, most recently a 5f move in 1:00, but, trainer Todd Pletcher said, he has no feel for Fairbanks' affinity for the course.
"If he's struggling to make the lead – that would be a very bad sign," Pletcher said. "Training on dirt, you know exactly where you are going into a race. Synthetics? They all seem to train well over it but they don't all run well. So, it's a question mark."
Go Between (Tr: Bill Mott) – The most experienced runner in the Classic (26 career starts) had a leisurely gallop of 1 3/8m Thursday morning in preparation for his seventh start on an artificial surface (3-3-0).
"We haven't put him back on the dirt and the turf to see how it would compare to his recent races," said trainer Bill Mott, whose mot recent Classic starter was Vision and Verse (seventh in 2000). "You've got to lock and load 'em and go around there and hope you have a good trip."
Mott, who won this race with Cigar in 1995, considers this to be a solid field.
"We've got to beat everybody, not only Curlin," he said. "He's a very good horse, there's no question about that. They're lining up a number of good horses. It's certainly not a one-horse race."
Mott said he believes Go Between has found his niche on the new surfaces after spending most of his career on turf.
"I think between conformation and pedigree and the way they move, I think those are all indicators that they'll like the synthetics,'' said Mott, a five-time Breeders' Cup winner.
"I think for a real good turf horse there might be a tendancy to like it or be able to adapt to it, but I think it's an individual thing. It's trial and error. It's just one more thing on the list you've got to check off when you go through the process of trying to find out what these horses want to do best."
Garrett Gomez will be aboard the son of Point Given, who drew the rail in the field of 12.
Henrythenavigator (Tr: Aidan O'Brien) – Trainer Aidan O'Brien said Thursday that running the Kingmambo colt in the Classic is a test to see how Henrythenavigator will perform at the highest level over a different surface and a longer distance.
Henrythenavigator, owned by Coolmore principal Mrs. John Magnier, is a proven mile turf runner with four Group 1 victories this season. He and stablemate Duke of Marmalade, who won five Group 1 races on turf at distances of 1¼ m and longer, will run on the Pro-Ride synthetic track in the 1 ¼ m Classic. Though they have trained on them, neither one has raced over synthetic surfaces.
"We always try to do what we think is the right thing for the horses and the system," O'Brien said. "We felt that he didn't have anything to prove by running in the Mile. Obviously, the Classic catches everyone's imagination. We're just trying to expose him a little bit more, like we'll find out if he gets a mile and a quarter. We know he gets a mile.
"Listen, if we wanted to be safe and not to explore him, we'd have stuck to the Mile and he probably would have been a short-priced favorite. It's exciting to see what's going to happen. We're going into the unknown a little bit and he seems to be in good form."
Henrythenavigator cantered 1m on the main track Thursday morning. American jockey John Velazquez will ride him for the first time Saturday.
Raven's Pass (Tr: John Gosden) – John Gosden, who has trained in Europe and the United States during his distinguished career, says the synthetic surface at Santa Anita has brought together top dirt and grass runners for a true championship race.
"You have the best from four countries meeting for the belt (championship)," he said.
"The surface (Pro-Ride) makes for a level playing field (for Americans and Europeans) – somewhere between turf and dirt.
"The Europeans are not used to kickback, but there doesn't seem tobe much on this track. Overall, I'm very impressed with it so far."
Raven's Pass has been competing in the top mile races on Europe this season and has won his last two starts, the Celebration Mile at Goodwood and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.
Gosden is optimistic that the 3yo Elusive Quality colt owned by Princess Haya of Jordan will be able to handle the stretch out beyond 1m.
"He'll stay a mile-and-an-eighth," Gosden said. "If you've ever walked the old mile at Ascot, you just climb and climb and climb and climb. It's a really stiff mile up that hill at Ascot. He did that mile comfortably. He'll get a-mile-and-an-eighth. The last eighth I can't tell you about. There is only one way to do it, and that's to race. You can't rehearse that kind of thing at home.
Gosden said the breeding of Raven's Pass gives him confidence that the colt can get the 1 ¼m of the Classic.
"He's got a lot of tough old blood, tough two-turn horses on the dam's side," Gosden said. "He should be able to stay it, but his father was a miler. His father was a very fast miler and I always have that in mind.
"If the last eighth of a mile proves too far, that's life. At least we're brave and tried."
Jockey Frankie Dettori willl ride Raven's Pass.
Smooth Air (Tr: Bennie Stutts Jr.; ex. rider: Sue Milne) – Mount Joy Stables' 3yo colt Smooth Air went to the track Thursday morning under exercise rider Sue Milne, but the big news of the morning was the change of jockey on Saturday from Manoel Cruz to Rafael Bejarano.
Mount Joy's owner Brian Burns called it a "personal decision by the owner."
Cruz, based at Calder in Miami, Fla., had ridden Smooth Air in all 11 of his races, including stakes wins in the Hutcheson Stakes, Ohio Derby and most recently the Needles Stakes on turf. He also rode him to an 11th-place finish in this year's Kentucky Derby, preceded by a second-place finish in the Florida Derby behind Big Brown.
Trainer Bennie Stutts Jr. supported Burns' decision and said, "This is the owner's call."
Meanwhile this morning, Smooth Air went about his business on the track and later a schooling session in the paddock.
"We 'two-minute licked' him and let him finish a little in the end," said Stutts. "He didn't blow out a match (breathe heavily) afterward, he's very fit. And he's like a daisy-cutter…his action, I mean, so close to the ground. He wastes no action…covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time."
Student Council (Tr: Steve Asmussen; ex. rider: Carlos Rosas) – Millennium Farms' Student Council galloped at Santa Anita Thursday morning under regular exercise rider Carlos Rosas.
Rosas, 35, has been with trainer Steve Asmussen for six years now and has the opportunity to get on some of the best horses in training, including stablemates Curlin and Pyro, both Breeders' Cup contenders this Saturday.
Regarding Student Council, Rosas said, "A monster. He's really strong. He likes the synthetic surfaces and we expect a big race."
Student Council shows three wins from nine starts over synthetic surfaces.
Asked about having two runners in the Classic for different owners, Asmussen replied, "They both deserve the opportunity to be here. It's a very accomplished field."
Tiago (Tr: John Shirreffs; ex. rider: Frankie Herrarte) – The 4yo colt Tiago galloped once around the Santa Anita main track under regular exercise rider Frankie Herrarte Thursday after arriving from Hollywood Park Wednesday and schooling in the paddock during the afternoon.
"Super; he loves this track," said Herrarte after the drill.
After finishing a distant fifth in the Classic last year on a sloppy Monmouth Park surface he did not relish, Tiago saw a bright blue sky during his exercise at 9 a.m.
The forecast Saturday is for a warm sunny day. Trainer John Shirreffs would not mind seeing plenty of heat, the kind assuring a fast pace for his stretch-runner who came from behind to win the Santa Anita Derby last year.
Shirreffs made sure that Tiago and stablemate Zenyatta, the Ladies' Classic favorite who galloped minutes earlier, walked through the paddock before returning to their stalls.
"There is a lot for them to look at with all those signs in the walking ring," said Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, wife of the trainer and racing manager for owners Jerry and Ann Moss.
Giacomo, Tiago's half-brother and winner of the 2005 Kentucky Derby, finished fourth in the 2006 Classic for Moss, who visited the barn late in the morning.

A report by the Government Accountability Office says there has been limited progress toward developing effective Iraqi forces who are capable of handling internal security needs due to the ongoing violence in the nation. Although, there has been some progress notes the report, "persistent violence an sectarianism, along with immature ministerial capacity, continue to impede" progress. Violence has prevented the Ministry of the Interior from developing an effective intelligence network. The GAO noted there was too much evidence of an inability to be specific as to the combat effectiveness of units with continual comments that a unit is not ready at this point.
The GAO report reflects the difficulty of members of Congress from ever obtaining an accurate estimation of progress or lack of progress in Iraq. The Bush administration has continually claimed Iraq combat readiness was at a level that simply was not accurate. During the 2004 presidential election, President Bush told the nation the Iraq army would soon have 125,000 combat ready troops, a figure that has turned out to be grossly exaggerated. There is need for some mechanism which will objectively evaluate what actually is happening in Iraq.

The most important aspect of multiplex qPCR to consider is potential negative interactions between PCR components, specifically the primers. Primer dimer formation can significantly decrease amplification efficiency. Therefore, you should analyze heterodimer potential between all of the primers included in your reaction to ensure that any structures predicted to form will not be strong enough to significantly affect the reaction. As with primer design for a singleplex reaction, strive for a ΔG value more positive than -9 kcal/mole for all predicted heterodimers.

NH ski areas upgrade while the sun shines
By MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader | September 08. 2013 9:40PM
But no matter what the improvements, snow is the ultimate king — whether made by machine or by Mother Nature.
Loon spokesman Greg Kwasnik said the resort is making $1.3 million in improvements this year, including new snow-making equipment that saves both time and energy.
He said the state's larger ski areas look to open before the Thanksgiving holiday while "the rest of our smaller ski areas shoot for December."

It's Clichy Week on Arsenal.com as we celebrate the player who claimed second spot in our official Player of the Season poll.
The French defender went from strength to strength last season after putting his injury problems behind him. He proved himself to be one of the finest all-round full-backs in Europe and was unfortunate to miss out on a place in France's Euro 2008 squad.
Here, four former Gunners give their assessment of Arsenal's left back - Arsenal TV analyst Stewart Robson and Arsenal TV Online co-commentators Kenny Sansom, Terry Neill and Nigel Winterburn.
Stewart Robson
"I think he's an excellent player and I think he was very unlucky to miss out on Euro 2008 with France. I think he's as good a defensive left back as I've seen in terms of one-on-one situations. If you're a coach you tell defenders to get out there as the ball travels, slow down as the ball arrives at the winger's feet, then jockey and try and show the attacker one way. Gael throws that out of the window and gets there as quick as he can, runs out at 100 miles an hour, keeps on going and usually wins the ball off the winger. Wingers are so worried by his pace and the amount of pressure Gael puts on them, they can't get their head up to know what's going on, so they get their head down, they have to concentrate on the ball, and they end up going backwards at times. Clichy has improved his attacking play too. He needs to score one or two goals but his crossing is much better and his link-up play is excellent."
Nigel Winterburn
"Gael has shown the ultimate consistency. He loves getting forward with the ball and what has been impressive for me is that the defensive side of the game has really come on in the last year. Again he is still very young and will keep on improving. I think Gael is a different type of full-back to what I was when I played. I was defensive and then got forward in support, whereas Gael is more comfortable running with the ball, bursting forward. He likes to get forward whereas I would overlap or support from behind. The most important thing as a full-back is defending and he has improved that incredibly."
Kenny Sansom
"Fantastic. The fact he loves to win, he is aggressive and if things are not working out he gets onto his other team-mates which is important. I think he is pretty special. Of the last eight Arsenal left-backs, Bob McNab, Sammy Nelson and the like; I think Clichy is the only one not have played at international level. That puzzles me, he should be in the France team I think. The one little thing, I think he makes that odd mistake and can get caught. They are only little but he seems to get punished.
"He is so quick, fit, loves bombing forward and loves a challenge. I think one thing that really impressed me was in one of the European games a couple of years ago. In the first five minutes the winger went past him but from that point on, he didn't get past him. For me, the same thing happened playing for England Schoolboys aged 15 at Wembley against Germany. Their winger has sprinted past me but then never got past me again. My determination made me suss him straight away. That is one of Clichy's strengths."
Terry Neill
"I could not believe the French left him out. He had a marvellous season, he's up there with the best in the world and I don't say that lightly. I suppose in a sense it's good for Arsène Wenger because Gael will get a decent break rather than coming back tired and worn out and not able to take part in a full pre-season. What impresses me about him? His pure ability, his composure on the ball, his control, his passing, his pace. Everything. All-round, and his fellow full-back, the two of them are great athletes with great spirit, and exceptionally talented on the ball."

Wittenberg University's student-run newspaper The Torch has informed and entertained while providing an important training ground for future professionals since 1873. That tradition continues today with a re-designed print publication and a website that recently was chosen for a prestigious national award.
Just one year after The Torch's website was re-launched in 2011, students and faculty members involved with the weekly publication were recognized nationally with an Associated Collegiate Press (ACP) Online Pacemaker Award at an awards ceremony in Chicago in October 2012. The Torch was one of 55 publications to receive the award from among 270 entries, in recognition of excellence for online content distribution at a school with an enrollment of 5,000 or less.
The Torch is published online and in print once a week with a staff comprised exclusively of students, typically utilizing the skills of up to 25 writers, editors, designers, photographers and editorial board members. The Torch is advised by Associate Professor of English D'Arcy Fallon.
In keeping with Wittenberg University's liberal arts tradition, there is no major or minor requirement to be a member of the staff of The Torch, which results in the merging of many disciplines and fields of knowledge in every issue. Students of junior status who work on the paper can receive internship credit, which allows them to begin working towards a career goal in the journalism, editing or management.
Along with the online and print versions, The Torch is making greater use of social media, including active Twitter and Facebook pages that have been used to cover important campus issues.
The Torch's editorial board currently consists of Editor-in-Chief Katie Mauch, class of 2014, Managing Editor Kate Causbie, class of 2014, and Sports Editor Dan Sabol, class of 2014.

From my own experiences, I used to never have forward lean. Rode just fine for 3-4 seasons without any complaints. But this season I started playing around with the lean one notch at a time. Every time I push it a bit forward I notice dramatic improvements to my board performance.
I can carve harder, feel more stable at higher speeds, and turn a lot quicker than before. It does burn out my legs a lot faster than before but over time I got used to it. Without forward lean I struggle a little going down moguls and black runs but with the proper lean I'm able to ride through them with a certain... fluidity and style o.O

The longer/wider the board I ride and the more aggressive I want to carve, the more I need (!) all the weapons (forward highback, stiff boots, stiff binding, both very tight) to transfer my weight on the edge. The amount of Newton one can force is limited by ones weight and musclepower. The more direct you get this force via boots/highback/bindings to the edge, the less of this max force you loose. A heavier rider on the same board puts already a lot more force on the edge simply by the fact that he has more weight.
But too much fwd lean, and you loose balance and the ability to do mini adjustments with the ankles

the first days on a new setup I ride with a pocket screwdriver in the bagpack. it's like with a new romance, you need become acquainted with the lady, what she likes, what she doesn't, what's needed to persuade her
Second season rider, I learned to ride on a board that was way beyond my abilities, a 2010/11 Arbor Roundhouse 163W. I was 6ft - 200 lbs (..I'm since up 20-25 lbs!) 10.5 wide shoe trying to fit in 11 sized SB boots.
...So, as it turns out,.. I was on the wrong sized board right from the start! I was sold on the wide board by the salesman when I didn't really need one!
The point of telling you that was I have to have a LOT of forward lean dialed into the L Burton Cartels on this board to be able to ride it. I have since acquired 2 reg width boards and I ride them with No or very little forward lean on M Cartel bindings. (Seems I also prefer my forward lean dialed in asymmetrically. More on the front foot, less on the rear!)
If I'm understanding the information being posted here, I "needed" all that FWD lean on that board because of it actually being too wide for my foot? Without all that lean, It was WAY harder to get the leverage needed to get it to carve properly?? I know I've tried M bindings on it twice and it didn't ride for shit! Highback was too short and base of binding very small on board. Not much toe leverage either as the fulcrum point of the M binding was too far back from toe edge?
Because I needed all that lean on the wider board, I thought it was something I would prefer regardless of which board I rode! I was obviously wrong about that. I'm trying to learn about & get a handle on on all these big and little variables that seem to have such a HUGE impact on an individuals riding!
The more I learn about all this shit,.. the more amazed I am that I was able to learn to ride at all let alone pick it up, (...the basics anyway.) and progress as quickly I have!
A Three days riding NooB! (...including the day of the lesson!) Buying, riding an Advanced cambered directional, Wrong size board, wrong boots, Way too narrow stance, etc. etc.
...and STILL I managed to fall totally in love with this sport!!!
Thanks all you guys 'n' gals for all the great info that I can access here!
The forward lean I select depends on the board and the time of season. At the beginning of the season muscles are still a bit weak so not too much forward lean. As muscles get stronger the first couples of days/weeks, I adjust notch by notch. Finally on front leg (+21) in the second most and hind (+3) 3rd most forward notch. Not that important on a softer/shorter board and also not if riding pow. But if on groomer on a long/stiff board and the aim is carving, I need this forward lean especially of the front leg to get the best backside turns.
Even more important (and often neglected) is the torsional adjustment of the highback, depending on your angles. They should be parallel to the backside edge of the board...
Originally Posted by timmytard View Post

You will then realize the importance of forward lean, cause their board is gonna ride like shit, regardless of the quality of board.
different bindings have different amounts of forward lean when set to (0) I had some old technines and burtons that had way to much lean when set to Zero and had to remove the flad to get the right amount
highback flex has a lot to do with it too, I'll set a softer highback up with more lean then a stiff one, because the soft one flexes back with initial contact. I have metal highbacks on my bent metals and they dont flex at all meaning i run less lean and get the same response. Too much lean with some highbacks will cause calf bite depending on the boot, also it makes you look like your taking a poop while you traverse heelside.
splitboard bindings (sparks and kara's) go past 0 to around -10 degrees to allow more freedom when touring, if you ride them in that setting you will notice the lack of heel side power.

Without it you are relying on your ankles & the stiffness of your boots to carve heelside.
Your ankles are nowhere near strong enough to keep your toes from pointing down.
Not just halfpipe guys have them cranked forward, I have mine set to more than half on most of my boards.
I can pretty much guarantee, you would not be able to ride it with them cranked all the way forward.
This is THE most finicky adjustment you can make on a binding.
As little as one notch too far forward can make it down right scary.
As well as your knees being forced to bend, that also gives the feeling that your toeside edge is going to dig in causing you to eat shit @ lightening speed.
Maybe you might be able to ride with them all the way forward one day, but this adjustment needs to be done in small increments & each time will take a few runs to get used to.
My advice.
To start with, most bindings when set @ no forward lean can't be felt @ all.
Even the first or second notch sometimes can't be noticed, @ whatever spot they are set @, when you start to feel it & you will feel it.
From that spot you will want to only move it in increments of one spot.
Each time you move it even 1 spot, you will probably need to get used to it before you can move it one more spot.
When you think you have found your desired forward lean, put it 1 notch farther forward.
That's where it should be, you're just not used to it yet.
After fuckin' around with your setup & getting it perfect, which takes a few times.
It will be hard to tell if it really changed the way your board rides, because of the small increments
But if you ever hop on someone elses board that doesn't have their forward lean set forward THAT'S when you will see the difference.
You will then realize the importance of forward lean, cause their board is gonna ride like shit, regardless of the quality of board.

When you get right down to it, the highback forward lean is designed to force you to flex your ankles, which will in turn generally force a more flexed knee as well. When snowboarding, we almost never want to be opening (extending) our ankle joints.
When initiating a heelside turn, we want to pull up on our toes while keeping our knees bent (this will flex the ankle joint). Many riders are lazy here and just rest against the highback and relax their ankle, this makes for a lower edge angle and more leaning of the upper body (we call this inclination). This leads to less performance, and less balance as the upper body moves away from the board. On the other hand, if we have the highbacks dialed in some, we can use the angles of our lower body to create a high edge angle while keeping the upper body over the board (we call this angulation). This makes for more performance with less movement, and more balance because our upper body stays over the board.
When initiating toeside turns we want to also flex our ankles, especially our front ankle. To test this (at low speed please), try extending your ankle when starting a turn (like standing on our tippy toes), how does it feel? Tiring, and wobbly most likely. Now try flexing your knee into the shin of your boot, allowing your ankle to flex with it. you will feel more power, and stability. For all the reasons that apply on heelside (inclination vs angulation).
Lastly all of these improvements will reduce the movement required edge to edge making you smoother and faster changing edges.
As a summary, can you ride perfectly without forward lean? of course! is it easier to show these proper and efficient movements with some forward lean, definitely! It will come down to personal preference how much forward lean you will like! I suggest playing with it, seeing how it feels, and seeing what you like. I suggest small changes to it and ride for several runs before deciding whether you like it or hate it... Either way, have fun and keep shredding!
How much lean or w.e. should be used? It's preference. Everyone is different, though we all follow a general rule of thumb:
Forward lean = good for carvers/all mountain use...helps with weight transfer. No Lean = Good for jibs as there is neutral weight transfer, meaning more stable/flat base

Her name was Lola, she was a showgull,
With purple feathers and filled with Zoom Around the Room Catnip,
Ooops! Fell off the bed!
I could nom her, for the evening,
She was a star who never gave me any lip.
She was delicious, and oh so intoxicating,
I enjoyed her so much it wasn't really hip.
Get your humans, to buy you a Lola,
You can eat her feathers and bite her head and have a ball!

Of this one night affair I have to share!

Division One
Upton Park
February 25, 1978
Arsenal head across London on Sunday to face West Ham, a team that has always made life difficult for the Gunners at Upton Park.
Our latest FreezeFrame takes us back to a typically hard-fought yet entertaining local affair from February 1978. Arsenal were in the midst of a strong FA Cup run but still had designs on qualifying for Europe via the League after bouncing back from their mid-1970s gloom.
They could only manage a point on this occasion and Malcolm Macdonald was largely responsible for that after scoring both Arsenal goals. 'SuperMac' netted 26 times in all competitions in 1977/78 and was on target in every round of the FA Cup - except the Final of course, which Arsenal lost to Ipswich Town.
Our picture shows West Ham midfielder Alan Curbishley bursting past Alan Sunderland (right) and David Price (right, hidden). The point helped Arsenal towards a fifth-place finish in Division One but West Ham dropped into the second tier.
They were still there two seasons later when the Hammers pulled off one of the all-time FA Cup shocks, beating Arsenal in the 1980 Final at Wembley.
Arsenal team: Jennings, Rice, Nelson, Young, O'Leary, Brady, Price, Sunderland, Rix, Macdonald, Stapleton. Sub: Walford.

NFL Draft > 2009 Prospects > CB > Jairus Byrd
Jairus Byrd Scouting Report
|Oregon Ducks
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'0 - 204 lbs.
2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Jairus Byrd, CB, Oregon
The son of former San Diego Charger Pro Bowler Gil Byrd, Jairus is as tough as his father. His type of size and playing desire (he is a workout warrior) are coveted by NFL teams. He is a very fluid athlete with good ball hawk skills, and his vision and field awareness are top notch. Byrd is one of the few cornerbacks in this class that enjoy contact. He is a great run supporter who would make most open field tackles. Seldom missing an assignment, Byrd will stick neck-to-neck with his assignment in the short to mid zone. He has good hip turning ability, with great hands and instincts for the position. However, he is not a burner. Byrd lacks top end speed (4.56) and the burst to recuperate once he is beaten. He does not close quickly enough, and tends to lose contact with the ball. Often followed by play fakes, Byrd is better in zone coverage than in a man-to-man situation where his lack of speed could be masked. He is in a battle for the number three CB slot with Coye Francies and Alphonse Smith. Byrd is a solid (albeit not spectacular) player who could develop into a solid number two CB in the NFL. There has been some talk of moving him to Safety because of his physical style and lack of pure speed. Nevertheless, Byrd should make some NFL general manager look very good in a few years.

Go Red for Women
Go Red For Women luncheon a hit in the Hanover area
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | February 09. 2014 7:08PM
CEO at Ledyard National Bank, Kathy Underwood chairs the first annual Upper Valley/Lake Sunapee Area Go Red For Women Luncheon in Hanover Friday. (Courtesy)
More than 300 attendees wore red on Friday in support of the cause.
"The men had red ties and red socks; the woman were dressed in red dresses and suits."
But it wasn't until about 10 years ago that she became aware of the association's Go Red For Women campaign, which seeks to raise public awareness of women's heart attack and stroke risks, she said.

The lure of solar forcing
It's obvious.
The sun provides 99.998% of the energy to the Earth's climate (the rest coming from geothermal heat sources). The circulation patterns of the tropical Hadley Cell, the mid latitude storm tracks the polar high and the resulting climate zones are all driven by the gradients of solar heating as a function of latitude. So of course any significant change to solar output is bound to affect the climate, it stands to reason! Since we can see that there are changes in solar activity, it's therefore just a question of finding the link. Researchers for over a century have therefore taken any climate records they can find and searched for correlations to the sunspots, the solar-cycle length, geomagnetic indices, cosmogenic isotopes or smoothed versions thereof (and there are many ways to do the smoothing, and you don't even need to confine yourself to one single method per record). At the same time, estimates of solar output in the past are extremely uncertain, and so there is a great deal of scope in blaming any unexplained phenomena on solar changes without fear of contradiction.
Astute readers will notice that there is a clear problem here. The widespread predisposition to believe that there must be a significant link and a lack of precise knowledge of past changes are two ingredients that can prove, err…., scientifically troublesome. Unfortunately they lead to a tendency to keep looking for the correlation until one finds one. When that occurs (as it will if you look hard enough even in random data) it gets published as one more proof of the significant impact that solar change has on climate. Never do the authors describe how many records and how many different smoothing methods they went through before they found this one case where the significance is greater than 95%. Of course, if they went through more than 20, the chances of randomly stumbling onto this level of significance is quite high.
The proof that this often happens is shown by the number of these published correlations that fall apart once another few years of data are added, cosmic rays (which are modulated by solar activity) and cloudiness for instance.
Sometimes even papers in highly respected journals fall into the same trap. Friis-Christensen and Lassen (Science, 1991) was a notorious paper that purported to link solar-cycle length (i.e. the time between sucessive sunspot maxima or minima) to surface temperatures that is still quoted widely. As discussed at length by Peter Laut and colleagues, the excellent correlation between solar cycle length and hemispheric mean temperature only appeared when the method of smoothing changed as one went along. The only reason for doing that is that it shows the relationship (that they 'knew' must be there) more clearly. And, unsurprisingly, with another cycle of data, the relationship failed to hold up.
The potential for self-delusion is significantly enhanced by the fact that climate data generally does have a lot of signal in the decadal band (say between 9 and 15 years). This variability relates to the incidence of volcanic eruptions, ENSO cycles, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) etc. as well as potentially the solar cycle. So another neat trick to convince yourself that you found a solar-climate link is to use a very narrow band pass filter centered around 11 years, to match the rough periodicity of the sun spot cycle, and then show that your 11 year cycle in the data matches the sun spot cycle. Often these correlations mysteriously change phase with time, which is usually described as evidence of the non-linearity of the climate system, but in fact is the expected behaviour when there is no actual coherence. Even if the phase relationship is stable, the amount of variance explained in the original record is usually extremely small.

Hey guys... yes it is a weird request I know... slight change of pace for a while... LOL
I have been kicking around the idea of doing an admiral ackbar costume. Slightly more comfortable... unmeasurably more hilarious. I think it would be a fun costume to wear every now and then. Anyway... I was wondering if anyone here has tackled ackbar... or know of some makers for the parts? I am talking to a guy right now about the head and hands... I was wondering if any professional eyes could pinpoint what i could use for the white underparts... are those dress pants? what kind of white long sleeve clothing is it? What material would the yellow stripe up the side be? etc...Thanks in advance!

Rider freshman Zederic Sadler scored the game's final five points, highlighted by a 3-pointer with 12.7 seconds left on the clock to help lift the visiting Broncs to a 65-61 win over Canisius Saturday afternoon in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win was Rider's fifth straight and improved the team to 18-13 overall and 12-6 in MAAC play, while the Golden Griffins slipped to 18-12 overall and 11-7 in conference action.
Rider's victory, coupled with Niagara's 78-61 win over Saint Peter's, secures the No. 2 seed in next weekend's 2013 MAAC Men's Basketball Championship in Springfield, Mass. The Griffs will enter the conference's postseason tournament as either the No. 4 or No. 5 seed pending league results on Sunday.
"We knew it was going to be a battle today, [Rider] is a very athletic team and they made shots down the stretch," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "They won the rebounding battle and we missed some shots down the stretch. That's the way the game goes. You make those shots and you look wonderful. You don't make them and you find yourself upset because it wasn't enough. Our guys have nothing to hang their heads about. We'll get back to work on Monday and watch some film and we're going to keep trying to get better."
Canisius seniors Isaac Sosa and Harold Washington and junior Billy Baron scored 14 points apiece in the loss for Canisius, which ended the regular season with an 11-3 record at home. Baron added four assists and a rebound to his final stat line while Washington was credited with three assists and a steal. Junior Chris Manhertz was credited with a game-high eight rebounds for the Blue and Gold while senior Alshwan Hymes added six points and three assists. Hymes' scored his six points on a pair of makes from 3-point land, and his 3-point field goal just 2:04 into the contest allowed him to become the 33rd player in men's basketball program history to reach the 1,000-career point mark. As a team, Canisius shot 42.6 percent from the field and 70 percent from the free-throw line, but the team struggled from behind the arc, shooting 28 percent (7-for-25) on the day.
The Griffs took a five-point lead at 61-56 with 4:33 left in the game when Baron knifed through the lane and found a wide-open Sosa in the corner for his second 3-point field goal of the contest. That basket however would mark the Griffs' final hoop of the day, as the Broncs used a 9-0 run over the game's final 4:10 to seal the win. Rider guard Nurideen Lindsey got the Broncs' winning run started with a lay-up and then junior Daniel Stewart nailed two free-throws with 3:33 left on the clock to make the score 61-60 in favor of the Griffs.
The game would remain a one-point affair for the next 3:21 of game action before Sadler drilled a 3-pointer from right in front of the Broncs' bench to give the visiting team a 63-61 advantage with 12.7 seconds left on the clock. On the ensuing inbounds, Canisius marched up the floor but was unable to score and Sadler grabbed the rebound. He was fouled by Canisius and then knocked down both free-throws to seal the win for the Broncs, Rider's 11th win over Canisius in Buffalo in a series that dates back to the 1929-30 season.
The Griffs jumped out to an early10-2 lead just 2:17 into the game on the power of a pair of 3-pointers from Hymes and Sosa. Canisius' lead hovered around seven or eight points for most of the first half before the Griffs took an 11-point lead with 5:10 left before intermission on a lay-up by Manhertz. Canisius took a 38-31 lead into the halftime break after the team shot 48 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line in the game's first 20 minutes.
In the second half, Rider shot 59.1 percent from the field and 75 percent from the charity stripe as the Broncs outscored the Griffs by a 34-23 clip. Junior Fortunat scored seven of his 12 points in the game's second stanza to lead all scorers for the Broncs. Lindsey and senior Jonathon Thompson added 11 points apiece for Rider while Sadler and Shawn Valentine were good for seven points each. Valentine also had a team-high six boards in the win as the Broncs out rebounded Canisius 29-21.
The Griffs will start their march toward the program's first MAAC Tournament championship since 1996 next Saturday, March 9 when the team plays an opponent to be determined in the second game of the MAAC Tournament quarterfinal round. Tipoff in the MassMutual Center is set for 4:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.Game Notes: This was the 38th all-time meeting between Canisius and Rider, with the Broncs holding a 30-8 lead in the series... Canisius started Washington, Sosa, Hymes, Freddy Asprilla and Reggie Groves on Senior Day... The 11 wins for the Griffs in league play are the most for the team since 1998-99... Hymes is the second-straight Canisius player to score his 1,000th career point on Senior Day - former Griff Elton Frazier also reached the 1,000 point milestone on his Senior Day in 2011... Washington's 14 points gives him 17.4 points per game in the team's last five contests... Baron's four assists gives him 152 on the year, which ties him for ninth on the school's single-season assist list... Manhert'z eight rebounds gives him 265 this season, which are the most for a Griff since Darren Fenn had 315 rebounds during the 1999-00 campaign... Canisius slipped to 14-5 on the season when leading at the half.

Could you tell us more (us on the other side of the planet) about the locust and what they are doing. I was just wondering what was going on.
ummm cos its the size of Spain...Gov is enacting a special provision that allows them to enter anyones land and spray and have a fund for repaying any farmers checm bill if they spray.The area is reasonably remote, some is land for wildlife and other is prime farming country.They spray them once they hatch, and before they develop the wings and take off. Once they fly we are cactus.

Porter defeats Diaz in rematch; Jack and Periban battle to draw
Photos: Mary Ann Owen
After battling to a draw in their first fight, unbeaten welterweight Shawn "Showtime" Porter (22-0-1, 14 KOs) and former world champion Julio "The Kidd" Diaz (40-9-1, 29 KOs) went ten hard round rounds again on Thursday night in the Premier Ballroom located in the MGM Grand Conference Center in Las Vegas. This time, Porter outworked Diaz to win by scores of 98-92, 97-93, 97-93. The NABO and USBA welterweight titles were on the line.
Unbeaten super middleweight Badou Jack (15-0-1, 10 KOs) and Marco Antonio Periban (20-1-1, 13 KOs) fought to a ten round majority draw in a clash for the NABF title. Periban suffered a nasty cut over his right eye midway. Scores were 95-95, 95-95 and 96-94 Periban.
A clash of unbeaten 154-pounders ended in a no-contest after a head clash in round four opened cuts on both Julian "J-Rock" Williams (13-0-1, 10 KOs) and Hugo "The Boss" Centeno Jr. (19-0, 10 KOs) in a bout for the WBC International super welterweight title. Williams was in command to that point.
Unbeaten super welterweight Jermall Charlo (16-0, 12 KOs) scored a seventh round stoppage over game Rogelio De La Torre (10-4, 6 KOs). Bout waved off after Charlo scored a knockdown.
2012 U.S. Olympian welterweight Errol Spence (8-0, 7 KOs) scored a first round KO over Jesus Tavera (5-4, 1 KO). Tavera down twice.
Pro debuting super bantamweight Diego de la Hoya (1-0, 1 KO) scored a third round KO over Luis Cosme (8-4, 3 KOs). Diego is a nephew of Oscar de la Hoya.
Lightweight Robert Easter Jr. (7-0, 7 KOs) scored a first round KO over Lance Williams (6-2, 6 KOs). Easter was a 2012 U.S. Olympic Team alternate.
2012 U.S. Olympian middleweight Terrell Gausha (6-0, 4 KOs) scored a first round KO over Bruce Runkle (4-3-1).

5. Tiger Woods
Sponsor: Nike
Estimated Value: $105 million
Back in 2000, Tiger Woods' five-year, $105 million endorsement deal from Nike was the biggest ever handed out to an athlete at the time. Let's just say things like inflation and scandals have pushed Tiger a bit further down the list.
Not that the $105 million isn't impressive — it's just that McIlroy's new deal dwarfs Tiger's, just as his performance on the links has bumped Woods down to the No. 2 spot.
Nike still endorses Tiger, but it slashed his allowance big time after his public indiscretions in 2009. While his contract still makes the list, it's fairly clear that the one-time golden boy's been tarnished and that's hurt his value.

|Welcome.I would never get two. One is a full time job already, I can't imagine where I would get the hours in a day to do twice what I do now.
Welcome to the forum and hoping you are taking advantage of all the information like --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...dogs-once.html
It's not so much that it's impossible to raise 2 puppies at once, just that it is so much harder (and more expensive to feed/vet/train) that it's setting up stuff to be a problem right from the outset. Personally, I've raised 4 practically perfect pups at this time and would NEVER get more than one at a time.
My bigger concern is what GSDBESTK9 brought up, the breeder. The better breeders would REFUSE to sell you 2 puppies because they know it's usually a dis-service to their puppies and their main concern is the puppies. If they could care less and just want to take your money, let you pick out any 2 puppies you want, and then drive off into the sunset with no further help or support (cause they are your puppies, YOUR PROBLEM) I'd be very worried.
So if your breeder is not one of these --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...e-breeder.html then I'd be even more concerned if you were taking on 2 puppies from them rather than just one.
Welcome to the board!!! What area of WV are you from (I have relatives up there).
My experience with raising multiple puppies at the same time is different than most, in fact, I raised three that were close to the same age together without any significant problems. I knew I was going to get Ringer before I moved to Florida ... but I also unexpectedly ended up with his litter sister, Honey (long story) at the same time that I got him. A short time later a friend gave me Kelly as a house warming gift ... ergo I had three puppies very close to the same age. I was home 24/7 and didn't have any problems raising, training, nurturing them. For years we lived "happily ever after"
My problems came a little over a dozen years later!!! One of the major problems was financial, caring for three senior GSDs with various health problems ran into many thousands of dollars, but it was the least of my problems.
I lost Ringer, Kelly and Honey within nine months of each other ... first Ringer who died about a month before his 13th birthday, then Kelly died about two months after Ringer, and finally my sweet Honey died suddenly about 7 months after Kel. I cannot begin to describe the pain and depression I went thru losing three dogs so close together.
Losing the Three Amigos wasn't the first time I've lost dogs close to the same age though the circumstances were different, the end result was the same. Three years earlier, in 2003, was the first time it happened to me. I got Too up in MD and brought her down to FL a short time before her 5th birthday. Surprise ... at the same time I got Ringer & Honey, their 5 year old father, JR, ended up homeless so I ended up with him too. All went well for many years. Then a few months after JR celebrated his 13th birthday, he died and less than three weeks later 12-1/2 year old Too had a seizure caused by a medication and she died. I was devastated, depressed, it hurt so bad, I can't describe it, I ached with grief.
While it's been about 4 years since losing my second batch of seniors, just writing this message brought back the memories and the tears and pain as if it were yesterday. I've shared this information before with others, hoping they'd think twice before setting themselves up for the hurt and pain I've gone thru when losing much loved companions.
GOOD LUCK with whatever you decide to do!!!
|Hello and Welcome, some members are pro and some con on the 2 puppies at once task. I think from what I have been reading on here it will work if you give each pup it's own training session without the other pup being around so that each pup can learn to focus on you and not on each other. Be sure to post pictures of those new babies when you get them home.
|Welcome to the board. I would be weary of a breeder that will let you take home two littermates. I know we don't allow it. Two puppies at the same time is VERY HARD and unfair to them. Please reconsider and I would research that breeder a little further. No reputable breeder would let you take home 2 littermates, at least they shouldn't. Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear.
|Welcome! I have litter mates, 2 yr old females. I've had no problems. DW does most of the training with Zoey and I train Tuke. We may have been lucky, IDK, but I think these guys together were easier than my lab or malamute were by themselves (raising them as pups).
Hello from West Virginia (getting 2 new littermates)
Im new to all this forums an German Shepards. I have always admired the outstanding breed my wife an I will be picking our dogs up Friday Nov. 30 we are very excited. We are getting two litter mates, I hope we are doing the right thing. I thought it was a good idea untill I begin reading all the warnings about tring to train two puppies at once. I hope we are up for this challenge

Over $200,000 Awarded to WKU Study Abroad Students for Upcoming Terms
|Author: Study Abroad and Global Learning
Date: Friday, January 4th, 2013
|Return to Archive
WKU students who believe that it may be too expensive to include an international component in their college career should think twice. Between the Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning, the Student Government Association, the Honors College, and various other offices and scholarship sources, over $200,000 in funding has been made available to students studying abroad during the upcoming winter and spring terms. It has never been easier for WKU students to broaden their horizons through international study.
The Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning, one of the strongest proponents for international education on campus, awarded students over $90,000 through its World Topper Scholarship fund. Of the 225 World Topper Scholarship recipients, 56% are participating in WKU faculty-led programs, 8% in other short-term programs, 6% in WKU exchange programs, and 29% in semester programs through study abroad providers.
Of all the available scholarships, Honors College Junior Cody Hutchins received the largest single award: the C.Y. Tung Scholarship, worth $20,000 toward his Semester at Sea Spring 2013 Voyage. Five WKU students successfully applied for the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman scholarship, which awarded a combined total of $22,000 to recipients Allyson Beasecker, Haley Edwards, Haley Hilbert, Christina Paige, and Makka Wheeler.
Other WKU students who have received competitive scholarships from external sources include Daniel Wilhoyte, the winner of a DAAD Scholarship worth $3,100, Rachael Walters, who received a KIIS Scholarship of $750, and Katlyn Vincent, Abigail Egbers, and Abigail Boyd, who were awarded a collective $700 from CCSA. Michael McKay, who is participating in an exchange program in Canada next semester, received a FIPSE Grant of $5,000 through the Gordon Ford College of Business.
Other offices that awarded scholarships to students studying abroad this winter and spring are SGA, awarding $14,000 to 47 students, the Modern Languages Department, awarding $3,500 to 8 students, and the Honors College, awarding $17,800 to 72 students. The WKU Sisterhood and the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences will award an estimated total of $19,000 to 38 student who plan to complete the last month of their student teaching abroad this spring.
The Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning would like to remind students that study abroad is often much more affordable than one might initially think and encourages all students to consider an education abroad experience. For more information, please visit our website at https://www.wku.edu/studyabroad/ or contact our office at firstname.lastname@example.com or 270-745-5334.

Pacquiao-Marquez 4 NYC Presser
Photos: Ed Mulholland
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have completed the second stage of their three-city international media tour with a news conference on Wednesday in New York City. On Thursday they will do more promotional work in the area, then head to Mexico City for a big finale in the new Arena Ciudad de México which will be open to the public.
Manny Pacquiao: I choose to fight Marquez again for the fourth time because I believe we can give a good fight for the fans. The last three fights were were close and he never accepted that he lost….I'm looking forward to winning impressively and to make the fight as short as possible.
Juan Manuel Marquez: I need to change something in the ring. I need to change something in my training, in my camp. A lot of people ask 'What do you need to prove in this fight?' I say I don't need to prove nothing, because I won the last three fights! And now I need to win this fight.
The fourth clash in this legendary fight series will take place on December 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Pacquiao-Marquez 4 will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View.

Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Hey Rocken!
Yeah, that was the storm we attempted to avoid. But man... Like you said, one after another. Storms sprouted up everywhere!!!
Crazy stuff. Hopefully that is the worst weather we see, cause man that was a ride!
Moka! Thanks for checkin out the blog! More updates on the crazy storms coming soon!
Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Not a sailor, just a wanttobe. If you sailed through the weather that came thru the last 2 nights, I don't think it will get much worst. I work the docks near New Orleans the last 2 nights, and that was some very heavy weather as the front tried to push thru and stalled. 1 thunderstorm after another, traing across the region. Tornado and waterspout warnings for 48 hours. We had 3.5" hail out of the storm 2 nights ago. Good luck and fair winds.
Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Just saw your post so I will go out and read your blog! I had trouble linking to it, but found it at Blog - Still Floatin' Blog - Navigate the Sea. Good luck with your trip and we will follow your progress!
Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Good luck to you guys. Just read your blog. You might want to re-evaluate anchoring out in the Gulf. If you can't get inside a harbor or inlet to anchor for the night you are probably better off harnessing in and sailing through with reduced sail. Consider 2-3 hour shifts over night, it really isn't bad with two and I have made the jumps you are now making single handed. It is tiring but the Gulf will beat you up pretty good at anchor, even when it starts out calm.
Glad you are safe and posting. You might consider pasting your blog posts here as well, there is a wealth of info on this site.

Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Hey Y'all!
Glad to hear you are all on board with this adventure! We've just pulled into Gulf Port Marina after a hairy night!
Silvio, Glad to hear you enjoyed the trip. Thanks for sharing! good to get another perspective! I think we may shoot up from the Keys straight to Bimini, riding the Gulf stream. It'll be interesting to ride the Gulf Stream!
Smackdaddy, we would love to do a little thing on how we came to buy the boat, and what got us interested in doing the trip! Definitely on my list of things to do!
We just had a heck of a ride last night. lost our sails, thunderstorms, the works.
We'll be updating the blog soon.
Cheers y'all!
Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Congratulations on your boat and trip.
I just made the trip as you have described it except I left from Destin Florida. I was bringing our boat from Destin to the Chesapeake and arrived in Solomons Maryland last August.
I mad a few stops inside as I was mostly single handing and I took advantage of inside stop overs.
I went outside from Panama City (nice municipal marina there) to St Joseph Bay and then I holed up in the ICW at the free White City dock for a few days while waiting for weather. I decided to make the easy run inside to Apalachicola and waited another two days for weather before jumping across the Gulf to Tarpon Springs. From there it is easy to jump outside and back inside for anchorages all the way down to Port Charlotte.
I went directly from Port Charlotte to Key West. Anchoring in Key West sucks but there are a lot of moorings available for cheap. I recommend grabbing a mooring and not trying to get an anchor set. From key West it is beautiful sailing either inside the Hawke Channel or outside to Miami if that will be your jump off to the Bahamas. Personally I was in Miami to pick up a guest so I hung out at No Name Harbor for a few days before heading to Bimini and checking in. Last July Bimini was awful for entering as they were scraping the entrance and had removed ALL of the buoys. At least the bar in front of the entrance is sand and not coral 8-)
Well, That is way more of my own story than I intended to share on your posting, sorry for the hijack. Just wanted to say good luck and fair winds, and I am looking forward to reading your blog.
Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
I just read through your blog. Great job you guys! Keep the stories coming. I've wondered what it was like sailing through that area. We've always gone west from Galveston (Port A, South Padre, etc.) so it's good to see what's along the coast going east.
BTW - I think that "sunken rig" you saw was actually a sunken shrimp boat. That looks like a net boom sticking up.
It's great to see you guys out doing it. Booyah!
(PS - Unless I just missed it on the blg, it would be great to hear more about how you guys decided to do this, what the boat purchase was like, etc.)

Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Totally! Shooting up the Gulf Stream seems like it could be a good time! Yeah, we've been avoiding waterways as much as possible. Nothing against the ICW, but we are a bit more inclined to the openness of the sea. So, yeah, avoiding the Okeechobee sounds like a good call all around.
Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
I've done the Okeechobee shortcut and it is rather boring. If you have the time and inclination, rounding the tip of Florida and checking out the Keys sounds like a lot more fun. Also, by starting your Bahamas crossing further south, you can actually make the Gulf Stream work in your favor.

Re: Corpus Christie to The Bahamas!
Hey Fallard!
Thanks for the tip. We are excited about sailing down to the Keys, so no worries on the Okeechobee.
The plan is to round the entirety of western Florida, hit up the Keys for a little while, then sail on to the Bahamas from there.
Thanks again for the advice though! I think at one point we were discussing cutting through, but I've never been to the Keys, and we are in no rush.
Can't wait to see the Bahamas though!
Good Sailing!

So, here I am reading the Jetta GLI 6 thread and I figured "Oh, lemme check 1552s facebook page about it"
lo and behold the GREATEST NEWS EVER TO HIT THE US SHORES (if you know anything about wheels)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCompomotive Wheels Available Through fifteen52!
Published: February 3, 2011
fifteen52 is proud to announce our position as Compomotives current North American distributor.
Were still working on a pricing program as well as listing the Compomotive portfolio in the products section of this website, but in the mean time feel free to forward inquiries to email@example.com.
not only that, but they're selling them at an amazing good price.
At the FORMER distributor they were asking $450/wheel for TH 17x8s
at 1552 they're selling them at a MUCH more reasonable $289/wheel
If you don't know about Compomotive wheels, let me go over the basics:
- Extremely strong
- Extremely light
- used almost exclusively by rally teams for the last 25 years
I was first introduced to Compomotives by two people here on the VWVortex
Brad @ 1552 with his Golf Next Door
and Pat (who's username escapes me) who also had them on a black A2 GTI
They're offering all their wheels (Modulars are available by special order, I hear) but focusing on the motorsport wheels:
The MO5
The MO6
the ML
the TH1
the TH2
I hate to come off like an advertiser here, I'm just trying to spread the word for those people who had asked me in the past about where to get Compomotives.
Check their site for sizing options. It's not just VW fitments either. They're offering the line of lug pattern, offsets and widths.
These make great autocross, rallycross, stage rally or just great looking street wheels.
This is going into my budget for next year. I've wanted a set of Compomotives forever.
