We often hear claims about external wall insulation that are completely untrue so we thought we'd round them up to prove why we believe in it so strongly as an energy saving measure.
External wall insulation stops buildings being able to breathe
It's certainly true that houses need a good air flow to make sure that fresh air is supplied to residents and moisture and emissions can escape.
Our external wall insulation products don't stop this circulation of air.
Obviously, you'll still need to ensure adequate ventilation through opening windows and using fans when necessary in steamy rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens.
2. External wall insulation leads to mould
Kind of the opposite -Mould occurs from damp, often caused when warm, moist air in a room cools on walls and ceilings, causing condensation to form. EWI raises the surface temperature of walls, reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside and meaning condensation is less likely to settle on walls.
Plus, as mentioned above, our renders are breathable and therefore discourage the buildup of damp. Also, our mechanical fixings are designed with plastic, to keep thermal bridging to a minimum.
So there's no reason why external wall insulation would cause mould, as long as you take the normal precautions. As always, it's important to ensure adequate ventilation through opening windows and using extractor fans in areas of the home where steam is present, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
3. It uses more energy to manufacture external wall insulation than the measure saves over its lifetime
This is categorically untrue. While there's no denying the energy used in manufacturing chemical-bases insulation products such as XPS, the payback in terms of the energy you save through installing them makes it worthwhile in almost all cases. The manufacture of foam, glass, PU or XPS insulation is estimated at 1,3000kWh/m3. Based on these figures, the payback in terms of energy saved can be as little as 1-2 years.
For example, 90mm of EPS attached to a traditional 9-inch solid brick wall will reduce the U-value (which is a measure of how much energy is lost) from 2.2 down to just 0.3 per m2K, bringing it in line with a brand new wall built today. Even with the most expensive insulating materials installed at a high thickness, the energy amortisation period will generally be less than 5 years.
4. External wall insulation is a fire hazard
All our insulation materials are fire retardant, especially Rockwool, which has unrivalled fire resistance.
5. External wall insulation can damage health
None of our insulation materials contain fibres hazardous to health as they come in solid blocks. They are also sealed with an impermeable coat of render.
6. External wall insulation encourages the growth of algae
While normally only a cosmetic problem, algae growing on walls can be an annoyance to the homeowner.
Our renders are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and are resistant to the growth of vegetation. They'll keep your home looking new – probably more so than standard brick.
7. A living roof will insulate just as well
Green roofs and walls, planted with grasses and flowers, have a minimal effect on heat transfer through solid surfaces. Although living roofs can help with air pollution in densely populated areas, the only way they affect temperature is that they can help keep walls cool in summer, because sunlight cannot shine directly on the facade.
Conversely, external wall insulation has an impact in both summer and winter – and a much bigger one at that. It can prevent up to 40% of heat lost from a property.
8. External wall insulation looks ugly
EWI can actually really smarten and brighten a property, as well as protecting brickwork underneath. Render, as the final stage of external wall insulation, can be chosen in a variety of colours and even covered in realistic brick slips if you would like to recreate period features.
We hope we've cleared a few things up about external wall insulation. If you think of any questions we haven't answered, let us know!

Just before Christmas (back when the weather was unseasonably mild for December), I photographed a full days portfolio shoot for the lovely Jacqueline. Jacqueline is fairly new to the world of modelling so she opted for a full days shoot so we could cover all aspects of the industry from beauty to fashion, sports and commercial modelling.
I think when I first suggested we head to Camber Sands beach she (and Holly) thought I was a little mad. After all, we were only a couple of weeks away from Christmas! However, it was an incredibly beautiful mild and bright day (albeit a little windy), so I managed to convince them. And I'm so glad I did! There's nothing better than shooting in the outdoors surrounded by natural textures and colours. It gives the images a real editorial feel.
Here's a small sneak of some of the images we got from the day...
I wish Jacqueline all the best for her future. It was a pleasure to have worked with her - she was a real natural and pleasure to shoot.
Thanks once again to my amazing partner in crime - make-up artist Holly O'Connor (http://www.hollyoconnor.co.uk/).
Foe more information on model or dancer portfolios please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Revenants in fiction
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In fantasy fiction, a revenant is a sentient creature whose desire to fulfill a special goal allows it to return from the grave as a creature vaguely resembling an intelligent zombie or jiangshi. Another possibility is that a powerful wizard returns a dead hero from the past to make him go on a quest that no living human would dare to undertake. Such a revenant may be just as intelligent as it was in life but its will is usually bound by the wizard who summons and controls it.
Merriam-Webster's definition of revenant is "one that returns after death or a long absence."[1] In that the subject returns from death, one can easily see an association of the term with the undead in fantasy and horror fiction. On the other hand, unlike zombies, the revenant's "long absence" does imply a certain anachronism in its eventual return. The term often implies some underlying motive of revenge prompting the return.
Revenants exist primarily in role-playing games, fantasy fiction, science fiction, and horror fiction.
Examples in fiction[edit]
- The main character in Dreams of Darkness by Barry James is a revenant fighting a collective god, the Mondragoran, to prevent the apocalypse.
- In Peter Straub's Ghost Story, the female ghost is a revenant as declared by the protagonist. The revenant manifests itself throughout time and space at will and as different personalities to fulfill its mission of vengeance. In Ghost Story, the revenant manifests as Angie Maul, a young girl; and Anna Mostyn, an attractive young lady, to wreak havoc on the nephew of one of the original victims. Ann-Veronica Moore attacks the original victims and in life was known as Eva Galli.
- In Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series, revenants are animalistic vampires who were violently killed by a group of vampires (rather than being turned in the traditional 3-day period).
- In the Die For Me series by Amy Plum, there are two kinds of revenants. When people die saving someone they become Bardia, who call themselves revenants, and when people die betraying someone, they become Numa. They are described as devastatingly attractive and depend on humans for their existence.
- EC Comics, in particular with their horror series such as Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, and The Haunt of Fear, often made use of revenant-like characters as a plot device, and in a manner consistent with the theme of an individual coming back from the grave to fulfill a specific task. Example stories which contain this theme include "The Thing From The Grave!" (Tales From The Crypt #22), "None But The Lonely Heart" (Tales From The Crypt #33), and "'Til Death" (The Vault of Horror #27), among others.
- In the Wildstorm comic series Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson must deal with a zombie outbreak, which is led by Professor Moriarty who is a revenant.
- In DC Comic's "Blackest Night" story arc, the Black Lantern Corps consists primarily of reanimated deceased superheroes and supervillains from the fictional universe of New Earth in the DC Multiverse.
- In the second book in Brandon Mull's series Fablehaven, a revenant guards an ancient magical item. It is described as a zombie-like creature with disheveled clothing and a nail sticking in its neck. In addition, it creates an intense irrational fear in all who approach it, and causes those whom it chokes to it to turn ghostly pale with white hair and in a zombie-like state with no feeling. Removing the nail from its cures all those who are affected, and kills the revenant.
- In the Girl Genius milieu, Hive Engines create Revenants by infecting normal people with Slaver Wasps. They are then bound to obey any command given by The Other. While stories say the Heterodyne Brothers are able to 'cure' the Revenant (by sucking the slaver wasp out of the person), it is commonly assumed that it is impossible to actually cure a Revenant. There are several different types of Revenant, including one which acts perfectly normally until given a command.
- In Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Shadow Moon's wife, Laura, dies in a car accident then returns as a revenant after he places a magical coin in her grave. She protects her husband from harm by killing his abductors and hopes that he will find a way to bring her fully back to life.
Revenants in film and television[edit]
- The Tabanga, from the 1957 film From Hell It Came, has characteristics of a revenant, but the word is never used.
- The 1973 Clint Eastwood Western High Plains Drifter involves a revenant; Eastwood plays the role of Marshal Jim Duncan, a man killed by the Carlin brothers in the town of Lago, Arizona, while investigating if the town was mining on government land. The plot consists of a "Stranger" riding into town on the day the Carlin brothers are due to be released from prison. The Stranger offers to protect the town's inhabitants from the Carlin brothers. As it happens, the townsfolk had hired the brothers to kill Marshal Duncan, then arrested the Carlins afterwards for a set-up gold robbery. In exchange for his protection, the town agrees to provide anything The Stranger wants, in which he indulges. The next day, the gunslingers arrive and attack the town without resistance; The Stranger is nowhere to be found. After dark, The Stranger comes back into Lago and kills the gunslingers while parts of the town burn. The next day, as The Stranger leaves the partially ruined town, he stops by Boot Hill, where Mordicai, the only person he befriended—a dwarf he named as Sheriff and Mayor as part of his payment—is carving "James Duncan" on the Marshal's grave. He says to The Stranger that he doesn't know The Stranger's name, to which Eastwood replies, "Yes, you do," before heading out across the plains.
- While never referred to as such, in the later Friday the 13th films, Jason Voorhees fits the description of a revenant.
- Similarly, the Creepshow character Nathan Grantham, a miserly old man who returns from the grave to seek revenge on the relatives who murdered him, can best be described as a revenant, although he is not given any specific title in his undead state during the course of the story. Creepshow is inspired directly by the various EC Comics horror series, being a tribute to them.
- The character of Eric in James O'Barr's The Crow is brought back from the dead to avenge his own murder, as well as the murder of his betrothed.
- In the animated series Teen Titans, Slade (known as Deathstroke in the DC comic) is revived by the demon Trigon to be used as the harbinger of the coming apocalypse. Slade, however, diverges from his typically villainous path and uses this new-found life to become an antihero and help annihilate Trigon.
- In the 2011 reboot of Thundercats, Pumyra is killed during the fall of Thundera and brought back as a Revenant by Mumm-Ra to serve as a spy and lover.
- EC-inspired revenant characters also appear in the 2007 horror film Trick 'r Treat in the segment The School Bus Massacre Revisited. Though the undead children in the story appear to devour their victims like modern zombies, the retention of their personalities, urban legend surrounding their creation, and the displayed ability of one to speak directly to his killer mark them as revenants.
- Les Revenants (in the US They Came Back, in the UK The Returned) is a 2004 French zombie film about the reaction of the inhabitants of a French town after the spontaneous return of 70 million deceased people who, unlike typical zombies, present as cognitively conscious and healthy, having not suffered any biological damage. The revenants, however, are not unlike children, having to relearn how to talk and remember.
- In Sheldon Wilson's 2004 indie sleeper hit Shallow Ground all the action in the film centers around a bloodsoaked revenant (portrayed by Rocky Marquette). This Bloody Boy is in fact an amalgamation of several murder victims of one crazed killer who was never caught.
- Les Revenants (international title The Returned) is a French supernatural drama television series loosely adapted from the 2004 film of the same name, consisting of an initial season of eight episodes. It focuses on the return of four core characters—Camille, Simon, "Victor," and Serge—who attempt to resume their lives in a remote French city located near a lake. The series was renewed for a second season, which aired in the fall of 2015.
- In SyFy's Wynonna Earp the titular heroine fights revenants who were killed by her great-grandfather Wyatt Earp's Colt Peacemaker.
- In the show Lost Girl, Bo the unaligned succubus faces off against revenants. Also, Tamsin and Acacia have used them as soldiers for hire. It is said that the only way to gain dominion over a revenant or to find out who sent it is to drink its blood.
Revenants in video games and gaming[edit]
- The classic first-person shooter Doom II introduced a new enemy type called 'Revenant', which was portrayed as a large demonic skeleton, reanimated through the use of cybernetic armor, equipped with two shoulder cannons that fired both regular and homing rocket missiles.
- In the Warcraft universe, revenants are minor elemental creatures who once served as foot soldiers for the malefic Old Gods when the world was young.
- In the Dragon Age universe, revenants are particularly powerful undead. Like all Dragon Age undead, revenants are corpses that have been possessed by demons, in this case particularly powerful ones that use magic to bolster a melee oriented combat style.
- In Dragon's Dogma, the playable character is an Arisen. The Arisen is a person whose heart is taken by a dragon, and must go on a journey to battle the dragon to get it back. Arisen can only be killed in battle. Given the circumstances of becoming an Arisen, and tasked with a goal after "death," the Arisen may be considered a revenant.
- Hack/Slash is a popular horror comic that features Revenants. They are usually referred to as Slashers, and many of them are undead and monstrous beings who return from the grave, usually for revenge.
- In the Legacy of Kain series, Raziel served the purpose of a revenant. He was murdered by Kain in the prologue of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, but was subsequently brought back by the Elder God as a soul-devouring wraith to avenge himself, while simultaneously tasked to fulfill the designs of the God.
- Soul Calibur 3 features a Revenant clad in a musketeer's outfit wielding two wave blades as a playable character. He is sometimes encountered in various characters' Tales of Souls mode.
- In Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, revenants can be found at night.
- After the events of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, John Marston is dead, and in Escalera, Seth is shown stealing the ancient mask, causing the dead, including John, to return as undead.

- Caleb, the protagonist from the video game series Blood can also be considered a revenant.
- In the online game City of Heroes, references are made in one story to 'The Revenant Hero Project'. This program inspired the enemies called Paragon Protectors, who exist within the villain group of Crey Industries. This project consisted of the harvesting of DNA from deceased heroes and the recording of their memories and personalities from life. A new body would be grown using the supplied genetic material and implanted with the memories of the past person, albeit with some minor adjustments to make that person subservient to Crey. This is the culmination of years of Crey research into cloning and memory implantation; they intended to keep the hero population in check by creating heroes of their own. They are in their own way bringing the dead back to life for the fulfillment of a task.
- In Cinematix Studios action roleplaying game Revenant, revenants are deceased individuals who have been transported, body and soul, back from the game world's version of Hell to serve the whims of the rich and powerful. These revenants function exactly like normal, healthy humans. The titular revenant is Locke D'Averam, is brought back from the dead by the wizard Sardok in order to save the island of Ahkulion from a mysterious cult, and to save the daughter of feudal lord Tendrick, whom the cultists had kidnapped.
- In the online game RuneScape, revenants are the powerful undead spirits of warriors who died during the God Wars.
- In Yasuhiro Nightow's video game/anime series Gungrave, the protagonist, Brandon Heat, is betrayed and murdered by his best friend, Harry McDowell. Heat returns as a revenant, re-animated through a complicated procedure called "necro-rise." The revenant's name is "Beyond The Grave," and while he is sentient, he seldom speaks as he embarks on a mission of vengeance against McDowell's Millenion Crime Syndicate. In the second installment of the video game franchise (Gungrave: Overdose), Jyuji Kabane is introduced as another revenant protagonist who joins forces with Heat. Jyuji was dead once, but re-animated by the Corisione crime family to be experimented on. After the experiments, Jyuji was injected with the series' apocalyptic drug, Seed, and left for dead. However, the blinded Jyuji uses a mysterious form of meditation to keep himself alive as he seeks revenge on The Corisiones.
- Guild Wars 2 has a playable class called Revenant.
- Revenant appears in the digital card game Cabals: Magic & Battle Cards.
- In the indie RPG Undertale, there is an undead character named Sans. Whilst referred to as simply a skeleton in-game, the character's actions and motivations, specifically in the game's "No Mercy" storyline, would qualify him as a revenant.
- The Nameless One, protagonist of Dungeons & Dragons game Planescape: Torment could be considered a revenant. Each time he is killed, The Nameless One finds himself resurrected again, with scars and other major wounds carrying from one incarnation to the next.

I am able to join the lobby but when the game starts I get stuck at the 'Waiting for server to start authentication' message. I've tried several methods to fix this issue: - Editing the dayz_server.pbo to include $PBOPREFIX$, $PREFIX$ and $PBOPREFIX$.txt files. - Disabling my firewall to ensure none of the ports are blocked. - Fully reinstalling the server. However, none of these methods managed to resolve the issue which is why I'm creating this thread. I've seen other threads in which the arma2oaserver.RPT file was requested so I've pasted mine here. Hopefully someone can help me out.

MANHATTAN, New York — A diverse group of Donald Trump supporters gathered outside the New York Midtown Hilton on Tuesday evening at about 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and began singing the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Star-Spangled Banner being sung by diverse group of Americans in front of #HiltonMidtown, where Trump-Pence ElectionNight party's being held pic.twitter.com/kJdAcUAm0v
— Adelle Nazarian (@AdelleNaz) November 8, 2016
The group included blacks, Latinos, whites, and Asians, all of whom had gathered in support of the Republican nominee, apparently in a "flash mob" event. They stood arm-in-arm as they sang together.
Some held campaign signs, including "Drain the Swamp." One sign said "Hillary cares about black votes, not about black people."
Almost immediately after singing the "Star-Spangled Banner," the group dissipated.
Several passersby took photos and videos, and several journalists appeared late on the scene, but no camera crews were visible.
The Trump victory party is scheduled to begin later in the evening. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is holding her victory party at the Jacob K. Davits Convention Center, also in Manhattan.

Now is the time to start saving and planning for sending your 8th grader on a study/tour of
Washington, D.C., Gettysburg, and New York City with Scott Middle School teachers and the
Close Up Foundation. Close Up's Capital Experience program offers your student a unique
combination of education and fun, bringing together the cultural and historical resources of
Washington, D.C. and New York City creating an unforgettable learning experience. Developed
by teachers, the program complements LPS Social Studies content and standards. Capital
Experience provides an intimate look at monuments and landmarks and a firsthand view of
history in the making – challenging students beyond the confines of the classroom.
Next year's Washington, D.C. option is scheduled to leave Saturday, March 30 and last through
Thursday, April 4. We will spend five nights/six days in Washington, D.C., which includes a
day trip to Gettysburg. The all-inclusive cost next year (with the exception of spending money
and a couple meals) is about $1900. This includes round-trip airfare from Lincoln or Omaha, five nights lodging, meals, ground transportation, Close Up teaching staff, security, and secondary insurance.
After experiencing all that Washington, D.C. has to offer, students have the opportunity to
extend their study visit to New York City where they will spend an additional three days/two
nights. Students taking advantage of the Washington, D.C./New York City option next year are
scheduled to return to Lincoln on Saturday, April 6. This option includes unforgettable study visits to
historical sites such as Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Ground Zero, Wall
Street, Liberty and Ellis Islands, and a night on Broadway. The all-inclusive cost for the
Washington, D.C./New York City option next year is about $2600 (with the exception of
spending money and a couple meals).
This is a GREAT opportunity for students to experience our nation's capital with classmates
and students from around the country. Past participants – this will be the nineteenth group of
Scott 8th graders to visit Washington, D.C.! – are nearly unanimous in saying they wouldn't
hesitate to go again! We hope that your student will be able to join us next year. Please contact
Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Ells, or Mrs. Hohenfeldt-Spethman for more information or visit
the Close Up Foundation web site at http://closeup.org.


text: I have a question along the same lines, and I thought I would ask it here. I've been doing a fishless cycle with my tank for the last six weeks (I have a post over in the Nitroge Cycle area of the forum on how it is going). I just got my TSS too, and I get my fish on Friday. The thing is, I've been running my tank with two carbon filters (one in the Cascade, one in the Top Fin.) for the last 7 weeks or so, Should I cut it and dump the carbon and keep the fabric? Or does it not matter because I've had no fish so far?

The consumer lending industry is abuzz about the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's recent report on debt consolidation and online lending. This excellent piece of research concludes that, on average, online installment loan borrowers fall into more debt after taking out a loan, experience hits to their credit score and history as a result, and take out online loans despite having access to traditional banking and credit channels.
The first two conclusions are damning, especially as these loans are often marketed as a way to help consumers consolidate credit card debt and improve their finances. At the end of the day, a lender's duty is not merely to avoid losses. Any loan must be suitable for the customer — which means it should be made only if the lender believes it is improving the customer's financial health. A lender not guided by that principle should be prepared for severe criticism as well as elevated losses down the road. What is particularly concerning is the evidence that the credit characteristics of online installment borrowers at the time of repayment are consistently worse than they were at the time of borrowing. That should be a sobering thought for online lenders whose credit models have not been fully tested in a protracted credit downturn.
The study examined three claims sometimes made by online lenders and their advocates: that P2P loans allow borrowers to refinance or consolidate credit card debt, help consumers improve credit scores, and widen access to credit for the underbanked. The authors found the opposite to be true in each case.
Fintech lending advocates — led by the Marketplace Lending Association — counter that the loans examined in the study included relatively few originated by fintech "marketplace" lenders, despite the study's use of the term "P2P" to describe the loans included in the study, and that the conclusions of the study thus don't apply to fintech loans. This may be true. The Cleveland Fed has since acknowledged that its use of that term might not accurately reflect the types of loans and lenders examined in the study. The Cleveland Fed research, the MLA contends, was based largely on data about installment loans made by lenders other than fintechs, such as more traditional finance companies. TransUnion has also raised questions about how the Cleveland Fed characterized the loan data provided by the credit bureau and used in the report.
But it would be nonsensical to discredit or ignore the study because of these concerns. The study has been carefully designed and executed, using "control" consumers as well as online borrowers as the statistical basis for its analysis and conclusions, which appear well-supported by the data presented. And consumer finance lenders, whether they are called P2P lenders, online lenders, marketplace lenders or something else, are all in the same business and often use the same marketing and delivery channels. All sorts of lenders originate installment loans through direct mail using algorithmic scoring and fulfill their loans online.
Instead, we should ask every online lender —whether a fintech-type marketplace lender or not — included in the study to show the public, capital providers and regulators why the study's conclusions don't apply to its loans and borrowers. Lenders should use their own data to try to rebut the study's two conclusions that: (1) that borrowers were, on average, increasing other leverage (particularly cards) after getting an online installment loan instead of de-levering, and (2) that borrowers' FICO scores and other credit characteristics were, on average, deteriorating after taking out a loan. If a lender can't rebut these assertions, then we can reasonably assume that the study's conclusions apply to its borrower base and that it is, on average, generating riskier loans than advertised while damaging the customers it purports to be helping. While we would normally expect lenders that charge higher rates to borrowers with lower credit scores to perform relatively poorly, and lenders that charge lower rates to borrowers with high credit scores to do better when compared to the study sample, there could be plenty of surprises. If, for example, the decision to take out an online installment loan is itself a sign of financial stress, the problem could be widespread among lenders.
Independent of the study itself, it should not come as a surprise that online "debt consolidation" loans fail to reduce a consumer's debt. By design, they can be used for any purpose at all. Lenders make no effort to force the borrower to use loan proceeds to reduce other debt and, even if the borrower pays down maxed-out credit cards with loan proceeds, that only means that the borrower now has a large new "open to buy" position on his or her cards. Given this dynamic, it is also hardly surprising that many borrowers run into credit issues after re-levering with credit cards or other borrowing.
As a society, we really should know which online lenders are adding to consumer financial health and which ones are detracting from it. And why stop there? This is not an online-only issue. Financial health questions like this should be asked by regulators during any bank, credit union or finance company examination. Online lenders tout their products as an upgrade in credit options for a diverse borrower base. But let's hope that the Cleveland Fed study forces them to think more about their customers' overall financial health, like doctors who make this oath: "First, do no harm."
Updated November 16, 2017 at 4:51PM: This op-ed has been updated to reflect uncertainty over how the Cleveland Fed used data provided by TransUnion in the study, as well as which specific types of institutions were included in the data.

I've always been scared of going to the doctor. Ever since I was little, I would make my mom promise that no shots or finger pricks would be involved in an appointment, even for routine check-ups. I was a firm believer that doctors were up to no good, regardless of how cool their shiny gadgets and big white coats looked. Nowadays, my views of doctors are much different. I'm not so envious of their gadgets and coats because I understand the responsibility that comes with them. But more importantly, I look forward to the days when I go into their offices because of the promise of progress in this journey of mine.
In August of 2012, I moved to Orlando to start my freshman year of college at UCF. I was beyond excited to start a new chapter of my life and had no doubts that UCF was the place for me. I was blessed to be placed with two amazing roommates that I still consider to be dear friends, but by October of that year, I didn't feel like myself no matter how much fun we had together. I struggled with keeping up the energy to walk to class and do my homework – all I wanted to do was sleep, and that's not how college is supposed to be. Eventually I made my way to the doctor, and they immediately diagnosed me with severe anxiety and depression. This was such a huge shock for me, and by the end of the semester, I decided it was time to come home.
Thankfully, home holds a wonderful university, and I found my niche at UNF. I love the campus and classes here, and I have a wonderful support system of friends and family around me on a constant basis. But even with all of these positive changes after transferring home from UCF, I still didn't feel right. I was still tired all the time, was constantly short of breath, had full-body muscle pains, and by February of 2013, I started having major allergic attacks.
We began a long road of appointments with specialists when a diagnosis couldn't be made – I moved from a dermatologist, an allergist, the primary care doctors at UNF, and finally to a rheumatologist. The dermatologist diagnosed hives, the allergist told me my lungs were functioning at 50%, and the primary care doctors did their best to treat the many bouts of pneumonia and respiratory infections that I caught because my immune system was so stressed. I had more blood tests than I can count, and several cancer scares because of all of the conflicting medicines and tests from the multiple doctors on my case. One doctor took a rapid mono test, and it came back negative. The rheumatologist believed that an autoimmune disorder could be the cause of all of this, and proceeded to order 27 blood tests to confirm.
Not long after, I woke up in the night with a swollen mouth and could feel my throat closing up. After I used my Epipen and my mom rushed me to the ER, the hospital kept me for observation. The doctor there was seriously concerned and we knew that this was going to be a much longer process of searching for answers than we originally planned. The only thing that seemed to help keep me out of the hospital were rounds of prednisone, so I struggled to finish my classes and spent the month of May mostly in bed. Anyone who knew me could tell that I looked and felt sick. Eventually, the rheumatologist's tests came back as inconclusive, and he tentatively diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. We tried nerve-blockers that ultimately made the pain worse, and when it came down to a lack of answers again, the rheumatologist lost my trust when he said, "Maybe you're just sad."
My family and I were completely fed up with doctors shrugging their shoulders at us, and we knew that there had to be an answer somewhere. A generally healthy and previously happy nineteen-year-old should not be inexplicably sick for months on end. Thankfully, a family friend referred us to a neurologist who agreed to look at my case. We felt like this was the best step forward and went to see him in September. He was very attentive to my entire medical history and made me feel like I was finally being taken care of. Even better than that, he told me that the rheumatologist was full of it and that he knew there was something more going on with me than a prolonged case of depression. Unfortunately, he thought there was a chance that I could have MS or something very serious. He ordered an MRI and found "a concerning growth" in my sinuses. When I heard this, I was scared beyond belief. I had already been sick for so long – I couldn't imagine it getting any worse. A CAT scan was done to get a better look at my head. And then, the best news of all came. The growth was nothing consequential – it turned out to be a tiny build-up that wouldn't do me any harm. Even better than that, when he looked back at my entire history, he found that all of my symptoms lined up with recorded cases of severe mononucleosis – and sure enough, the Epstein Barr virus was still in my system.
I'm not sure where I caught this horrible case of mono from, and I'm even less sure of why it took so long to diagnose. These are answers that I will never have. But I've learned that progress does not always equal answers. Answers are concrete. Answers put an end to your questions. Answers can deny your fears, but they can also confirm them. They can either lay your worries to rest or prove that your anxiety was right after all. But progress isn't like that. Progress is not black and white. Progress is accepting partial answers that come with more questions. Progress is knowing that sickness is not simple, and that baby steps are really quite big. Progress is realizing that each doctor visit, each lab test, and each tentative "yes" or "no" in this process is just another step down the road to health.
Answers aren't what I'm looking for anymore. From the very first time I got sick, it was clear that this wasn't going to be an easy fix. So progress is all I ask for. And thankfully, it's been provided. I've had a lot of scary possibilities and potential battles checked off my list, and for that I am so grateful. I first felt sick in October of 2012 – its now March of 2014 and I'm still not fully well. The neurologist predicted that I would be back on my feet by Christmas in 2013, and that was mostly true. I felt alive again and was able to spend time with my loved ones and truly feel present and well. But the mono still comes and goes. I have flare-ups from time to time and am still part-time in school. I regularly go to counseling to manage my anxiety. I'm working a part-time job that I love and I try my best to stay active, but I have to be extremely careful to get enough rest and to not over-tax my body. It's been almost a year and a half since I first got sick, and I'm not sure when I will feel 100% again. That's hard. But I no longer think of myself as "sick" and my health isn't holding me back from living the life I want to anymore. There have been so many beautiful moments this year, even in the midst of the trials, and so many more to come.Those are major blessings.
I look forward to the day when "healthy" is my reality, and I'm thankful that with each day I'm starting to feel a little bit closer to where I want to be. It's taken me quite a while to write this story down. It's hard to put a whole year of my life into a few simple words, not to mention a year that, for the most part, didn't make sense even to me. It's easy to hear "mono" and fit my story into a tiny box of understanding. But my story is different…and I hope that by telling it, there comes a realization that no story is the same as another. One person's battle with sickness is not the same as another's. That is true for any and every ailment under the sun, whether it be cancer, depression, MS, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, accidents, disabilities, meningitis, mental disorders, autoimmune diseases and on and on. Sure, for some people, mono is the "kissing disease" that kept them out of school for a few weeks. If anyone has to have it, I pray that their experience with mono is exactly that. But for anyone who struggles with something more long-term, more serious, more physically and mentally taxing – my heart goes out to you. It's one thing to feel for someone who is struggling with sickness, but it's another to know the incredible sense of worry, doubt, fear, struggle, and heartache that comes with having experienced sickness first-hand.
But there is hope here. Regardless of what you struggle with or what the outcome is, you can choose to have hope. It's not something that you have to wait on or be worthy of or even truly feel. It's something you can decide to have and simply have it. To make it through anything in this life, you have to decide that you will. There were many days that I just wanted to curl up in a ball and stay there for a while. Those days still happen, and all of us know that feeling. If I'm honest with myself, there are some days that I did just curl up and refuse to move. But that's okay, because there was never, ever a day when I stopped hoping that things would get better. And eventually they did. For some people, it won't get better here. But even then, there is faith to be found in the knowledge that there is still hope after "here." Ultimately, I'm thankful for what I went through. I wish it hadn't been so hard, but it's not my job to decide what happens in this life. I'm a more compassionate and understanding person because of my sickness, and I learned some invaluable lessons along the way. It's okay to rest. It's okay to take time. It's okay to look at life as a marathon instead of a sprint. It's okay to do things differently than everyone else. But it's not okay to give up – at least not in my world. Because there is hope, and there is progress, and that's enough for me.

Buyer's Guide¶
A lot of people have had a lot of questions about my keypads for determining which model and what parts would be better for them, so I'll outline the differences here.
This may be the most important choice you can make with your keypad. Luckily, you aren't stuck with your choice thanks to the switch changing kit (unless you buy the LED model) so don't feel too stressed out. It's easy to say it's "personal preference," so I'll instead try to give you some objective information that you can base your decision on.
These have both a bump and an audible click when the switch is pressed to its actuation point. This is nice for typing (especially touch typing) since it's a clear indication that you've pressed the switch. It's great for avoiding "bottoming out," meaning the switch is fully depressed, which can help reduce fatigue from typing over long periods of time.
However, playing osu! is not the same as typing. The game is much more hectic and if you try to feel or listen to the click, you will be pulling your atention away from the game. Some players may be able to take adavantage of the click, but I consider it to be very disadvantageous. It would be a nice option for a macro keypad if you want to use it for professional applications, but be mindful if you want to use it with other people around.
These offer the same benefit that blues do for typists, but the same downisde for osu players. They have the same bump at the actuation point but no audible click. These would also be nice for professional applications and are better in quiet environments.
Liear switches offer a nice variety in weight (actuation force) and don't have any audible click or tactile bump. I would consider these the best for osu! and gaming use in general.
Actuation Force Table¶
|Switch Type
|Actuation Force
|Cherry MX
Cherry MX VS Gateron¶
One other thing to mention is the difference between Gateron and Cherry switches. Cherry is a German company that's been making these for a long time, but their patent ran out recently so a bunch of other companies started making MX clones. Among those companies is Gateron. They are considerably smoother feeling, where Cherry's switches have a bit of a scratchy feel to them.
DCS keycaps are what you'll most commonly find on mechanical keyboards. They feature a subtle curve vertically that your finger can rest in and an angle depending on the row. They are comfortable for both typing and osu, but you have to be a bit more precise with your button presses.
DSA keycaps are a little more rare but offer a completely flat profile across all keyboard rows. This makes it easy to get a whole bunch of blank ones since all 1x keycaps are the same, unlike the DCS keycaps that differ by row. They have an old-fasioned look to them and feature a slight concave curvature on the top of the key. They work well for osu but less for typing on a keyboard since the flatness of them makes them less ergonomic.
Flat keycaps are the least common by far. I bought a few from pimpmykeyboard.com a year or two ago and loved them, but they were a bit too expensive so I figured nobody would want to pay $4+ for them. Fast forward to 2017 and I have a bit more experience in 3D printing. Now I can offer them not only as a cost saving measure to both you and myself, but also be happy that they work well and provide a very nice experience in osu.
These offer two major improvements over DCS and DSA keycaps. They expand the surface area of the top of the key to their maximum, giving you more leeway with where you press. They also allow me to have better control of both the travel distance and the max height of the keypad, which means that your hand won't have to rest at as high of an angle which should reult in a more comfortable experience over long sessions.

I know nothing of the mystic ways of computers. I tried to take a quiz last week to see how much of a geek I was. It turns out that I am so ungeeky that I couldn't even understand the questions. (Terminals? What do I look like, an airport?) All I know how to do is work my simple little bloggy software. If it gets any more complicated than that then either Ken handles it, or there is a struggle of epic proportions between the computer and I while I writhe slowly up the learning curve. It's never pretty – or successful, for that matter.
That's why, when Joe announced last night that he was "Upgrading" our operating system, I knew what he meant. I'm not a dummy. I've been around the block. I know what "Upgrade" means. "Upgrade" means Joe is going to do something to the computer which will result in there being a period of time during which the computer will choose random functions that it will no longer do. The computer will be completely crippled by the Upgrade, and Joe will deny this. Joe will maintain that things are better. Joe will think this because Joe is blinded by the actual meaning of the word "Upgrade".
I beg Joe not to do the Upgrade. I tell him I can't cope with the seizures that the computer has when you Upgrade it. I tell him that I really think that things are good the way they are. We're happy, aren't we? Do we really need bigger, better things all the time? Can't we ever be satisfied? I ask him to walk away. He doesn't. He has a mitt full for the CDs that have something horrible on them called "Panther", and he looks pretty excited.
This morning, the computer has been Upgraded. Things are….a little bit different. My mail is different. There are new buttons. I don't know what they do…but I tell you this. I don't like them. I don't like the look of them. When I click on an email from Norma, the screen shows me all of Norma's emails. Did I ask for that? Did I say, Hey, you know what would be good? If every single time I asked for you to show me an email, if you would like, do this STROBE thing reshufffling all of my emails to show me what else I have, even though I don't care, at all, and in fact even resent it in a hostile fuming way and if you would make sure that you don't call this function anything that has a name that makes sense so I could SHUT IT OFF. Yeah. That would be good. Upgrade my ARSE you piece of plastic microchipped glowing crap.
The font on everything, even though it claims to be exactly the same, is a little bit different. (Upgrading makes the computer tell filthy smarmy lies). This gives me the rather odd feeling that I am not seeing properly, and leaves me wondering (in an abstract but very disturbing way) if I am having a stroke. Buttons and Icons are in the wrong spots, and I am clicking on the wrong things. In a 20 minute argument with my email program this morning (during which I foamed at the mouth and screamed obscene plans for those responsible for this Upgrade to be sorry for everything they had wrought on this earth) I finally discovered that the reason my email was insisting that every single word I typed was not only spelled wrong but grammatically incorrect was because my Upgraded spell-check was set to "New" Portuguese. New?
The worst, was that I was actually allowed to do some of my work this morning. I checked mail, I wrote a few, I surfed, I wrote….in short, I was lulled into a false sense of security by the Upgrade. It seemed that with the exception of everything being sort of shifted a little, I was going to be spared.
Then I clicked on Ecto. Ecto is the really cool little simple interface that I use to post to the blog. It's blogging for dummies. I understand it's few functions very well. Ecto brings us together. The computer tells me this:
Ecto cannot be opened because Ecto is in the trash.
What? The nausea starts. I don't even want to know. I bellow for Joe, I get more coffee and I pace around mumbling things like, never mind what it was like. You should remember me the way I was before it all fell apart.
Joe comes downstairs. I, admittedly rather rudely, inform him that HIS UPGRADE has eaten MY BLOG THING. I advise him, again..perhaps with less tact than could be hoped for, that I want him to….find the blog thing and make it go. I tell him HIS UPGRADE had no right to touch MY BLOG THING which was working perfectly before he started fixing things, and that (further to that) I don't think he knows what "fixing" means, and I have always thought that he did too much damn clicking on things when he is at the computer and that probably has a lot to do with the mess I'm in too.
Then I get more coffee.
When I come back, there is good news and bad news. I like bad news first, so that the good news cheers me up…don't you?
The bad news is….Everything is different. There are whole new Ecto buttons that don't even have names that I know and some of them (steady now) some of them TOGGLE. I can't even think about toggling. What's a toggle? How could that be better? It can't. I know it. You don't even put in images anymore. They are some kind of attachment. It's talking about "Rich Text" and there is a button that appears to be related to something that I heard Emma (who is a professor of geekness) talk about one time called XHTML. It wants to know if I want it. I don't. I don't want any of it. I want my old buttons back. I don't want change, I don't want an upgrade. Mostly, I want to have my wee little blog file where things were good and simple and it never asked me if I wanted to do something better, like "cache" thingies or align them. I thought my alignment was pretty good.
At present. I cannot upload a picture, I'm not sure how this will look (though I am assured by a whole new toggle button that my text is rich) and I don't really know if I saved any of it or if it was consigned to an abyss when I clicked on the new button for posting.
The good news?
I can make text look like this.

At home in the woods
July has flown past with few pictures being taken by me. Motel living, house purchasing and furnishing and all that goes with it. We enjoyed a slowing as we settled into our new home and the kid was able to relax and unwind. I think we all have.
June – oh my didnt you just fly by.
It's not a bad life – Norway was definitley the highlight of May.
A pic from our recent trip to Montreal. Not long after this was taken she abandoned the frame and went out solo.
You cant tell from the pic but it was SO cold, -9 the day this was taken
I love this little crazy cat. Making the most of Febuarys dryer weather and getting out and about a lot.
The first of monthly picture series.
Much as I adore the 52 series I have found that particularly when we are travelling or our lives are in flux it is hard to keep up to date with. This year with all that is going on I have chosent to take the pressure off and do a picture at the end of each month. I will still blog in-between but won't stress myself with making sure that I have a photo every week.

The HPV vaccine; I say don't wait, vaccinate!
The HPV vaccine is recommended for all 11 and 12-year-old girls and boys….protect your child!
This week there was an article in the USA Today about the vaccination rate of our children against the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) virus. A new report tells us that 22,000 Americans (both men and women) each year are afflicted with preventable cancers due to HPV. The HPV vaccine is safe and effective and has been available for 8 years, but only 1/3 of our girls have been fully immunized and only 7% of our boys have been vaccinated. This vaccine will protect our children from a family of viruses that can cause cervical, head and neck, and other cancers. Increasing our vaccination rate for our teenage girls to 80% could prevent 53,000 cases of cervical cancer in girls alive today according to the Center for Disease Control. Don't wait, vaccinate! The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that both girls and boys receive this vaccine at their 11 or 12-year-old visit.
Why does this safe and effective vaccine have such low rates of vaccination? Pure and simple, it is difficult for parents to agree to a vaccine for their child at age 11 or 12 that protects against a virus that is sexually transmitted. In reality, 11 and 12 year olds are more likely to receive the vaccine than older adolescents. At age 11 and 12 a child is still routinely seen for health physicals in their pediatrician's office, older adolescents are statistically seen less often. We would like to have the 3 shot series completed before children are exposed to the virus, which means the entire series must be given prior to sexual activity. Right now, over 50% of adult males and females are infected with the HPV virus.
What exactly does the vaccine prevent? In girls, it prevents against genital warts and the most common strains of HPV virus that causes cervical cancer. Boys will be protected from genital warts, oral, anal and penile cancer, and vaccinating boys will help protect against spreading the virus, which is part of public health, protecting others!
So…protect your children. You are not giving permission for early sexual activity, you are protecting BEFORE you need to be concerned. The vaccine is safe and effective. Why wouldn't we want to protect our children just like we protect them from other diseases BEFORE they would be exposed? Just like Hepatitis B, an infant receives this series of three vaccines within the first few months of life and most Hepatitis B is transmitted by sexual activity or drug use.
I certainly do not want my children to be sexually promiscuous, but my children have received the HPV vaccine. I have no worries that receiving this vaccine will increase their risk of becoming sexually active early. I believe that instilling moral values at a young age, having many open and honest conversations about relationships and remaining very present in your child's life is the best deterrent to promiscuity and early sexual experiences. So, in our house the philosophy has been: continue to be open and clear about our family's values and morals from the time our children were very young through those tween and teen years; talk, talk, talk and talk some more to our teens; be truly present in all aspects of our teens' lives, pray, and vaccinate! Protection of children's physical and emotional health has many facets!
Take a breath, enjoy the joyful moments of each day, and remember you don't have to be perfect to be the perfect parent.

When the Chronicler retells the story of David's kingdom, he "conveniently" leaves out the story of Bathsheba and Uriah. Is this because the Chronicler wants to show a more sanitized version of David's story? One where he is shown as a hero? No, because the Chronicler finds an even worse transgression: the census.

Month: February 2017
Friend to Beloved: Ruth 1:18-21
Ruth enjoins the covenant, and the covenant curses, upon herself to entwine her life with Naomi's. Rather than elation, we find an all too familiar reality: disappointment, despite the work of God.
Friend to Beloved: Ruth 1:6-17
We move forward in the story, finally! A reverse exodus, a flood, a lack of king…biblical imagery swirls as the story of Ruth finally gets started…and it's looking like this story will be just as messy as the first bit.
Friend to Beloved: Ruth 1-4
Another structural point on Ruth: a chiasm.

Home on the Range
Disney's animated Home on the Range--about three cows who turn to bounty hunting in order to save their farm--further illustrates how unimaginative Disney animation has become with yet another tired, albeit kid-pleasing, formula.
Set in a whimsical version of the untamed West, Range zeroes in on a quaint dairy farm called Patch of Heaven run by the kindly Pearl (voiced by Carole Cook). Life on the prairie farm is near perfect for its resident dairy cows--including the organized leader Mrs. Calloway (voiced by Judi Dench), the touchy-feely Grace (voiced by Jennifer Tilly) and the newcomer, sassy show cow Maggie (voiced by Roseanne Barr)--as well as for the rest of Patch of Heaven's colorful denizens. Their idyllic existence is threatened when the farm is unexpectedly put up for auction to pay back taxes, so the determined cows scheme to nab notorious castle rustler Alameda Slim (voiced by Randy Quaid) and turn him in for reward money, which will pay off the taxes and save the farm. They set out on a high-spirited adventure across the rugged western landscape to catch Slim in the act. At the same time, they also have to try to outsmart a hero-worshipping stallion named Buck (voiced by Cuba Gooding Jr.), who wants to catch Slim himself to get all the glory. Can Maggie, Grace and Mrs. Calloway hogtie the dastardly villain, hand him over to the authorities and collect the reward money in time to save their precious Patch of Heaven? Of course they can, dagnabbit--they're cows, aren't they?
However mundane Home on the Range is, at least Disney has great casting sense. The three lead actresses seem to truly enjoy finding the bovine within. Roseanne, who's been out of the spotlight for a while, delivers Maggie's zingers with zest (referring to her udders, Maggie quips, ''Yeah, they're real. Quit staring'') and as Maggie's cohort, Tilly's naturally high, squeaky voice lends credibility to Grace's new age-isms and non-confrontational ways. The real surprise comes from the Oscar-winning Dench, who gives Mrs. Calloway that certain highbrow British sensibility while also allowing her to butt heads with Maggie every once in awhile. (One wonders, though, how a British cow made it to the Wild West?) In supporting roles, Gooding hams it up as Buck, a horse trying to prove he is a true hero with rather skewed methods, while Quaid bullies, torments and, yes, even yodels as Alameda Slim--yodeling being the bad guy's technique for hypnotizing and luring the cattle into his evil clutches. Standout vocal cameo goes to Steve Buscemi as a cold-hearted, fast-talking city slicker (the bug-eyed character even looks a little like him).
Under Will Finn and John Sanford's direction, Home on the Range has a heartening message of hearth and home, decent performances, and nothing blatantly wrong with the story structure, which hits the right marks despite being a tad too cutesy. Then why is the film so lackluster? Maybe because just like last year's Brother Bear, Range seems factory-made. The animation is certainly sub-par, with flat colors and 2-D, rudimentary drawings more suitable for a Disney theme-park ride. Last year's Teacher's Pet, as well as most Japanime these days, proves hand-drawn animation can--and better--go out on a limb if its to compete with the marvels of CGI, but Disney seems stuck in a rut (and splitting with Pixar won't help matters). Luckily, some catchy Western tunes help Range git along, composed by Oscar winner Alan Menken, who makes his first triumphant return to Disney since his '90s heyday that included composing music for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. It also doesn't hurt that six original songs are performed by country greats including k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt and Tim McGraw.
Bottom Line
All in all, Home on the Range's animated cow shenanigans should easily lasso the kiddies, but more than a few discouraging words could be said about its dull animation. The once-great Mouse House needs to keep up with the Joneses.

You can tell how high the snow was in my backyard this winter by the height of the dogwood and hyrdrangea bushes that the rabbits chomped on. These branches are about 30 inches high, and considerably lower than they should be! You can tell it is a rabbit — rather than a deer –that did this because of the clean cut. Deer leave a more ragged cut.
At the library program on new plants for 2011 a couple of weeks ago, John Daniels of Bachman's showed an amazing photo of rabbit damage from this winter. I don't have a copy, but basically the bunnies de-barked most of a tree trunk, effectively killing the tree. My dogwoods and hydrangea should recover, and our little dog, Lola, will be hanging out in the garden with me a lot this summer. We're hoping she will deter at least a few rabbits.

Family in Toronto
We are looking for a full-time live-in or possibly live-out nanny to help manage our busy lives. We have two young children (ages 6 and almost 3), who need loving care from a friendly, warm nanny. Daytime hours are somewhat flexible, but you should expect to work approximately 9 hours x 5 days a week. Responsibilities with the children would include walking and picking up our 6 year old from school, playing with our 3 year old, taking the children to the park, reading, etc. Other responsibilities would include helping with laundry, light housework and providing assistance with meal preparation. We are a non-smoking house with no pets and two professional parents who work outside the home. CPR and First Aid required, 2-5 years experience would be an asset. We would love to find someone who has lots of love to give and a positive attitude. A good sense of humour and a responsible nature is necessary as well - especially with our children! We have a quiet and private bedroom and bathroom away from the family that is well suited to a live-in situation. However, we are also open to the option of live-out care, as we are not willing to sponsor under the Live-in Caregiver Program. Wages are negotiable, if interested please contact Lisa atfor further information and inquiries.

Check out this new Holmes book…
Reasoning Backward: How Sherlock Holmes Can Make You a Better Problem Solver
by Gregg Young
"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backward," Holmes explained. "That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practice it much..." Most problem solvers reason forward from cause to effect. They brainstorm root causes by asking, "What could be the root causes?" Then they start guessing, which is slow and ineffective. This approach rarely finds every root cause, so it rarely develops complete solutions. The best strategy reasons backward from effect to cause, using Sherlock Holmes' strategy of observation and deduction. Problem solvers ask, "What is different when problems occur?" Reasoning backward is four times more effective than reasoning forward. One set of problem-solving tools based on Holmes' strategy delivers superior results, but it is not well known. Reasoning Backward introduces Holmes' strategy and these tools for the first time. Now, anyone can become an exceptional problem solver.

Top youngsters fight it out for Freedom Cup
- Updated: October 5, 2016
The Billabong SA Junior Champs, the country's most prestigious surfing event for competitors aged 17-and-under, gets underway in the fabled high performance waves of the Lower Point in Jeffreys Bay on Wednesday and runs until Sunday.
The 20th edition of the five-day event, presented by BOS, will showcase the top young surfers from every nook and cranny of the coastline who have qualified for the SA Champs via gruelling trials conducted by their respective district associations.
At stake are individual national titles for Under 13, U15 and U17 boys and girls along with the coveted Freedom Cup, which was introduced in 2003 and goes to the district whose team members accumulate the highest points tally across all age divisions.
'We're really proud to be the sponsors of the Billabong SA Junior Champs presented by BOS,' said Billabong South Africa Marketing Manager Chad D'Arcy. 'This is the premier junior event on the Surfing South Africa calendar and to host it in our home town of Jeffreys Bay makes it even more special. Good luck to the country's best young surfers in their quest for national titles.'
The event also offers number of lucrative specialty awards totalling more than R15 000 for both surfers and their teams. These include the Billabong / Bad Billy's Tag Team Paddle Battle, BOS Highest Heat Score, VonZipper Airshow and the Skull Candy Stay Loud Team Spirit awards.
The Cape Town Surfriders team will be determined to retain the Freedom Cup while Nelson Mandela Bay, the 2014 and 2015 runners-up, will be hoping that local wave knowledge will tip the balance of power for them this year. The eThekweni team from Durban will present a strong challenge again and Cape Winelands, Buffalo City, Ugu, Eden, uThungulu and the team from the SA Development Academy will be going all out to improve on their final placing in the team standings.
'The Billabong Sa Junior Championships is the most significant annual tournament for South Africa's U17, U15 and U13 surfers,' says Surfing South Africa GM, Robin de Kock. 'Surfing South Africa is stoked that it is taking place at Lower Point in J-Bay for the fourth year in a row and to be partnering with Billabong once again is just the cherry on top. I hope the waves are epic. Good luck to all'
Max Elkington (Cape Town) and Brayden Bergset (eThekweni) will be defending their U15 and U13 boys' titles while the other four divisions will all crown new champions. Last year's champions Gabi Lailvaux (eThekweni) in U13 girls and Kirsty McGillivray (Nelson Mandela Bay) in U15 girls have moved up one division.
As part of Surfing South Africa's commitment to transformation, the South African Development Academy team is participating thanks to a grant from Sport and Recreation South Africa.
