Seb, Pav keep tie alive
Roman Pavlyuchenko and Sebastien Bassong kept our Champions League dream alive after we found ourselves 3-0 down in the first leg of our play-off at Young Boys on Tuesday night.
Roman Pavlyuchenko and Sebastien Bassong kept our Champions League dream alive after we found ourselves 3-0 down in the first leg of our play-off at Young Boys on Tuesday night.
Russian striker 'Pav' lashed home the crucial second goal seven minutes from time as it finished 3-2 at the Stade de Suisse in Bern, Switzerland.
We still have to win the second leg at the Lane on Wednesday week, August 25, to progress to the group stages but we now have the benefit of two crucial away goals.
The dream of reaching the group stages of Europe's premier competition looked to be slipping away in the first half.
Before we knew it, we were 3-0 down with three fine finishes from Senad Lulic, Henri Bienvenu and Xavier Hochstrasser.
Thankfully, Bassong, in for Ledley King, powered home a header three minutes before the break to turn the game around. We were a different side after that.
Harry Redknapp changed things around from Saturday's goalless draw against City.
As expected, Bassong replaced King with Giovani in for Aaron Lennon on the right, Wilson Palacios for Tom Huddlestone centrally and Pavlyuchenko partnering Jermain Defoe up front.
But the pride and joy of hearing the Champions League anthem for the first time quickly turned into despair as we were caught in a whirlwind start from the home side.
Lulic had already hit the post before slotting home the first goal on four minutes, in the right place at the right time to convert after Thierry Doubai's shot deflected into his path.
Giovani was denied by Marco Wolflu in our first attack of note but it was a brief respite as suddenly Cameroon striker Bienvenu burst through the centre of our defence. There was no catching him and he finished well past Gomes one-on-one, 13 minutes on the clock.
We were starting to settle when Young Boys grabbed a third goal after 28 minutes.
This time Moreno Costanzo threaded the perfect pass through to Hochstrasser who blasted into the roof of the net from 12 yards.
Huddlestone made an early entry in place of Benoit Assou-Ekotto, who was booked early, with Gareth Bale switching to left-back and Modric to left midfield.
We needed a goal back and it arrived three minutes before the break as Bassong rose high to connect with Bale's outswinging corner.
Niko Kranjcar replaced Modric at half-time as we came out looking for a second goal.
We dominated possession and pushed Young Boys back but only created one serious chance as first Defoe and then Pavlyuchenko failed to get onto Bale's fine cross in front of goal.
Robbie Keane was our third substitute for the limping Defoe after 66 minutes.
There was a warning at the other end as Bienvenu headed just over and then a chance for both sides in a matter of seconds as first Huddlestone's flick from Bales's throw evaded everyone and then Scheuwly fired just over from Degen's cross.
Wolfli did well to touch over Pavlyuchenko's header with 10 minutes remaining and Schneuwly might have done better when Gomes clawed Degen's cross into his path, but he volleyed over.
What could well be the key moment of the tie arrived in the 83rd minute.
Vedran Corluka played into Pavlyuchenko, he stepped over and then took a return pass from Keane and fired into the top corner.
It was a goal of real quality just when we needed it most.
Pavluchenko went close again in injury time but it remained 3-2 - it's all set up for one of those glory, glory European nights at the Lane next week.
BSC Young Boys (4-5-1): Wolfli; Sutter, Affolter, Jemal, Spycher; Doubai, Costanzo (C Schneuwly, 65), Degan (Raimondi, 89), Hochstrasser, Lulic; Bienvenu. Subs: Burki, M Schneuwly, De Pierro, Reganzzoni, Mayuka.
Spurs (4-4-2): Gomes; Corluka, Dawson, Bassong, Assou-Ekotto (Huddlestone, 36); Giovani, Palacios, Modric (Kranjcar, 46), Bale; Defoe (Keane, 66), Pavlyuchenko. Subs: Cudicini, Kaboul, Lennon, Crouch.
Goals: BSC Young Boys - Lulic 10, Bienvenu 13, Hochstrasser 28. Spurs - Bassong 42, Pavlyuchenko 83.
Attendance - 30,166.

Early struggles put Ionia in hole in home finale
The Ionia boys basketball team made a second-quarter run to get back into its home finale against Williamston Thursday night, but the Bulldogs were unable to complete the comeback as they fell to the Hornets 72-61.
Along with the game being the final one on the Ionia schedule, it was also the last home game for seniors Mike Cory, Austin Wolcott, Tim Wohlfert, Rudi McWhirr and Jordan Miller.
Despite the loss, Ionia coach Scott Swinehart said he was happy with his players' effort after falling behind 15-0 in the first quarter.
"The guys didn't quit and they kept battling," he said. "We cut it to four and then missed on a three, but then Williamston was able to push the lead back and we couldn't get any stops down the stretch."
The Hornets held the Bulldogs scoreless for the first 5:30 of the game to open with a 15-0 run. Corey finally got the Dawgs on the board with a layup with 2:30 left.
In the second, Ionia started to chip away at their deficit as they started the quarter on a 12-6 run. The Bulldogs outscored Williamston 22-15 in the second to make it a 35-28 game at the break.
"Early on we were getting some open shots, but weren't hitting them," Swinehart said. "Their size caused us some problems and we got a little tentative.
"Once we got the lid off the basket, I thought we played well on offense."
The Hornets were able to add to their advantage in the third, building a 54-43 lead into the final quarter.
Austin Gregory paced Ionia with 28 points, while Bryce Cashner finished with 19 and Zac Barna chipped in with four.
The Bulldogs (3-17) will open postseason play on Wednesday night when they travel to Portland to take on the Raiders in the district semifinals.

Two local people have been treated for salmonella following the most recent nationwide outbreak.
Two local people have been treated for salmonella following the most recent nationwide outbreak.
One person in Otero County and one person in Crowley County reported salmonella illness related to live baby poultry.
Last week, the Colorado Department of Public Health warned that handling live poultry or coming in contact with poultry cages or bedding can cause salmonella infection. At least 37 people in Colorado became ill this year during a nationwide outbreak of a strain of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to live baby poultry.
State health officials in Colorado, several other state health departments and the CDC have been investigating the outbreak, which has sickened 316 people in 37 states. The New Mexico Department of Health announced this week they have matched the strain found in the nationwide outbreak to a sample taken at a poultry hatchery in New Mexico. The human salmonella infections are linked to contact with chicks, ducklings and other live baby poultry purchased from multiple feed stores.
No deaths have been reported, but at least 51 people have been hospitalized. Sixty percent of the cases are in children aged 10 and younger.
In Colorado, cases have been reported from the following counties: Adams (3), Crowley (1), Dolores (1), Douglas (1), El Paso (9), Jefferson (4), Mesa (1), Montezuma (1), Otero (1), Park (1), Pueblo (10), Teller (1) and Weld (3). Nine people have been hospitalized, including six children, and all are recovering. The most recent illness began July 15. As in the nationwide outbreak, two-thirds of cases occurred in children, and the median age of cases was 7 years old.
Although salmonella infection usually is known as a foodborne illness, chicks, ducklings and other live poultry may have salmonella germs in their droppings and on their bodies (feathers, feet and beaks), even when they appear healthy and clean. While it usually doesn't make the birds sick, salmonella can cause serious illness when it is passed to people.
State epidemiologists warn parents and caregivers to keep children 5 years of age and younger from handling live poultry, especially young birds such as chicks, ducklings, goslings and baby turkeys. Children are particularly at risk of illness because their immune systems are still developing, they are more likely to put their fingers or other items in their mouths and they are less likely than adults to wash their hands.
"There is a lot parents and others can do to prevent these infections," said Alicia Cronquist, department epidemiologist. "As adorable as baby chicks and ducklings look, they are not good pets for young children because of the health risks associated with handling them."
Cronquist advised people to follow these simple steps to protect themselves and others from getting sick:
· Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water right after touching live poultry or anything in the area where live poultry live and roam. Adults should supervise hand-washing for young children.
· If soap and water are not readily available, use hand sanitizer until you are able to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
· Clean any equipment or materials associated with raising or caring for live poultry outside the house, such as cages, or feed and water containers.
· Never bring live poultry inside the house, into bathrooms, or especially into areas where food or drink is prepared, served or stored, such as kitchens or outdoor patios.
· Do not snuggle or kiss the birds, touch your mouth, or eat or drink around live poultry.
Salmonella infection symptoms usually begin one to three days after exposure and include diarrhea, fever and stomach pain. Illness usually lasts four to seven days, and most people recover without medical treatment. However, in some people the symptoms may be severe enough to require hospitalization. Infants, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness. When severe infection occurs, salmonella may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.

I would like to thank everyone in the community who donated to the WHAS Crusade for Children. Some may not realize that all money donated in Spencer County stays in Spencer County.
These funds go toward a yearly grant that provides specific programs, materials, and equipment to students with special needs within our school system. The grant provides direct benefits to students and is not for administrative or general purposes.
Our wonderful firefighters, who stand at roadblocks with boot in hand, raise more than 50 percent of this money each year.
It seems many politicians do not want to reveal the true reasons for the recent increase in our gas prices. It serves their political purposes to just blame the president who actually has nothing to do with it.
The word service is defined in the dictionary as "work done for somebody else."
We think that describes Darrell Stevens very well. For years, he was on call day and night, never knowing what the next emergency might be. Probably in his mind, hoping the accident wouldn't involve someone he knew, but in many, and probably most cases, it did.
Being a small, or what used to be a small county, if you are not related to someone involved in an accident, you probably know someone who is.
Some may find it hard to believe that in our community, less than 30 minutes from the largest city in Kentucky, there are many places where high speed Internet is not available. It is not even an option in my area.
While high speed Internet access was once considered a luxury, or something for entertainment purposes only, it has now evolved into one of the most used means of communication.
On behalf of the Spencer County GOP, I would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this years' Lincoln Day Dinner such a huge success. Karen Karrer did an excellent job in organizing the event. She also wore several hats during the night, from server to assistant auctioneer.
The meal, catered by a local restaurant, was incredibly excellent.
And thanks to all who set up and cleaned up, Mike Klotz, Carol and Mike Ferriell, Anita Chamberlain, Karen Karrer and Hobert and Edith Judd.
February is the month of love and romance, and while it is wonderful to have a romantic interest at this time of year, it's also good to "love yourself." It always feels great to give yourself a gift, and embracing a healthier lifestyle is one of the greatest, and cheapest, gifts that we can give to ourselves.
In the past few weeks, David Floyd has submitted articles to the Magnet concerning the current process of redistricting in Kentucky. I have differed with Mr. Floyd's positions on issues before the Kentucky legislature many more times than I have agreed with him, and have told him so. However, I would like to commend him for these articles which have been very straightforward and informative.
On Nov. 2, 2011, I was in a car wreck. It happened on 155 near Elk Creek between 6 and 7 p.m.
A young lady between the ages of 25 and 30 years old helped me until I was extracted from the car.
I need to find this young lady to thank her.
Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I wish to express my sincerest appreciation to everyone who donated to the winter clothing drive.
I also want to extend a thank you to the local businesses and the Spencer County Public Library for participating in this event by agreeing to be a drop off site for the clothing.
The clothing drive was a huge success. The clothing was donated to the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency to be distributed to the families of Spencer County.

There is little comparison of Occupy Wall Street to the Tea Party. The Tea Party group had gatherings on the street, but never stayed overnight or occupied anything. Its members often meet indoors to do their planning. They use contact with representatives to make changes and vote their minds to replace representatives. The Tea Party people work for a living and have no time to occupy anything but their homes and jobs.

UW-Oshkosh clinched its first WIAC title in 36 years with a 41-7 victory at UW-La Crosse on Saturday.
The win gives UW-Oshkosh (5-0 WIAC) at least a share of the WIAC crown. UW-Eau Claire, UW-Platteville and UW-Whitewater list second in the standings with 3-2 records. Because the Titans defeated each of those teams, UW-Oshkosh is headed to the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
The Titans are 8-0 for the first time in program history. This was also UW-Oshkosh's first win in La Crosse since the 1967 season.
Nate Wara threw for four touchdowns and a career-high 369 yards, while Caleb Voss hauled in seven passes for a personal-best 171 yards and two scores. The offensive output of 543 yards also included 152 rushing on just 10 carries by Cole Myhra.
On the game's third possession, Wara hit Voss for a 16-yard gain. Another Voss catch for 15 yards put the Titans at the one-yard line, where Jake Dostalek ran it in for a 7-0 lead.
After punting on its next series, UW-Oshkosh scored three touchdowns in the second quarter. The first of those drives was sparked by Dostalek's 54-yard reception on 3rd-and-18. On the opening play of the second period, Wara found Myhra for a 29-yard touchdown.
Voss took over after that. He grabbed an 18-yard pass to reach Eagle (3-5/2-3 WIAC) territory. Wara fired to Voss on the next snap for a 43-yard touchdown that made it 21-0.
The Titan defense got a sack – one of nine for the day – on the ensuing possession to force a punt. UW-Oshkosh then went deep on its first play, as Wara hit Voss for a 62-yard score with 6:59 to play before halftime.
UW-La Crosse got its only points after receiving the second-half kickoff. The Eagles' 71-yard drive featured three big pass plays at the end. Brock McMullen marked a 26-yard catch before Jake Welch grabbed a pass for 17 yards. Andy Sires connected with Welch on the next play for a 23-yard touchdown to pull within 27-7.
UW-Oshkosh didn't wait long to respond. On the third play of its next series, Myhra bolted through the defense 74 yards to pay dirt.
Wara finished another short drive (three plays) with a 48-yard touchdown to Mitch Hintz late in the third quarter. Wara, who owns 67 career touchdown passes, completed 20 of his 30 attempts in the game.
UW-La Crosse ran 74 plays for 225 yards, while the Titans ran 71 for 543 yards. The Eagles finished with 43 rushing yards on 43 carries. Jared Stan led the team with 33 yards on nine attempts, as Welch booked five catches for 59 yards. Sires recorded 172 yards on 14-of-28 passing.
The UW-Oshkosh defense held its opponent to single-digit points for the fourth time this season. Beau Steffens paced the unit with 11 tackles (one sack). The Titans also received two sacks from Taylor Goodman and 1.5 by Cody Huemmer. Tim Filter snatched his league-leading sixth interception of the year.
Max Nicholson topped the Eagles with 10 tackles, while Jake Meckstroth had eight stops. Brandon Heeg recorded two tackles for a loss.
The Titans, ranked sixth by D3football.com, posted 22 first downs compared to UW-La Crosse's total of 14.
UW-Oshkosh can clinch the WIAC title outright with a win over UW-Stevens Point on Saturday (Nov. 3) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.

text: Student Profiles Millan AbiNader '10 Millan AbiNader '10 Major: French; minor: Biology Hometowns: Washington, D.C./Philadelphia, Pennsylvania/West Bath, Maine Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? I became excited about Bowdoin when I saw that department offices were housed in Cape Cod style buildings and that there was a Calder mobile in the middle of the library. Once I learned more about Bowdoin than just its appearance, I knew it was the place for me. It was clear from the stats and curriculum that Bowdoin is an excellent academic institution. The College encourages students to explore many disciplines and its low student to faculty ratio of 9:1 guarantees individual support. More than this, however, was that everyone I spoke with was happy. All the students loved their professors, jobs, and friends. Alums I spoke with got twinkle-eyed reminiscing about Bowdoin. It became clear that the College was not only an intellectually vibrant and pretty place, but a supportive and fun one as well. Why did you choose your major? I chose to take French on a whim. I had taken Spanish most of my life and wanted to try a new language. I quickly fell in love with it. I started to dream in French, think in French, and became absorbed in the poetry and sound of the language. This prompted me to decide to study abroad in Toulouse, a small city in southern France. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? I love the course Writing Corporeality in France that I am currently taking with Professor Katherine Dauge-Roth. We are talking about how the body is understood and described in different contexts. We've talked about the soul-spirit-body relationship, the body as a machine, gender and sexuality, and the diseased body. It has been really interesting to read about how the body was treated in the 15th through 18th centuries and how some central principles still exist today. Ideas, such as illness is caused by an imbalance in the body's system, remain fundamental ideas in our current culture. Professor Dauge-Roth has designed this course based on experiential learning, which is very rewarding. Instead of analyzing the texts we read about gender identity and expression, we were challenged to spend some time as the opposite gender, and to reflect on how it felt. The experience of going into town dressed as a man helped me learn more about the construction of gender identity than reflecting on a book would have, because it was personal and not abstract. The student planners, ASAP advisor, and speakers at the 2009 Sexual Etiquette Dinner: Emily Skinner (advisor), Gina Rourke (Nomia Boutique), Glenn Quint (Planned Parenthood), Shana Natelson '10, Millan AbiNader '10, Morgan Taggart-Hampton '11, Margo Clarke '09, and Julia Bond '09. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? They are not professors, but Meadow Davis from the dean's office, and Kate Stern from the Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, have been incredibly inspirational. Both of them are amazing facilitators; through observation and direct instruction in workshops, I gained many skills and tricks for facilitating. They trusted me to direct programs and gave me a lot of freedom to design creative programming. I am unable to express how grateful I am for this trust. Meadow and Kate are both wonderful and knowledgeable activists and helped me learn how to use my voice and passion effectively. On a personal level, they are both amazing moms who seem to magically balance their work, family, and personal lives. They model a lifestyle that I can only hope to have one day. They have not only served as role models but as advocates for me. They have supported, listened, and laughed with me. I cannot imagine what Bowdoin would be like without them, and I am so glad they are part of my life. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? Most of my non-academic activities at Bowdoin centered on sexual assault prevention and support services. I am co-leader of Safe Space and am the student director of the Alliance of Sexual Assault Prevention (ASAP). As a Safe Space member, I have the privilege of hearing some of the stories of the incredible, strong survivors on this campus. Working with ASAP allows me to extend campus and community resources to survivors and to do prevention programming through campus-wide events such as "Date Week" and "Consent is Sexy Week." I also volunteer with the Sexual Assault Support Services of Midcoast Maine (SASSMM) as a peer educator with other Bowdoin students. We go into elementary and high schools and talk about healthy relationships. Over my four years at Bowdoin, the campus's attitude towards sexual assault has changed. When I was a first year, consent—words or actions showing voluntary agreement to engage in a mutually agreed-upon sexual activity—was a word that only Safe Space members really understood. Now, every first-year can define consent thanks to Speak About It, a fantastic presentation during orientation which discusses healthy relationships and sexual violence. Silence often surrounds the topic of sexual violence because of fear, discomfort, and shame. I am really proud to be one of the many at Bowdoin people fostering a safe environment. Millan sitting in the wall of the medieval town La Couvertoirade in Aveyron, France. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I studied abroad in Toulouse, France. I walked everyday to school on a street laid out by the Romans when they constructed the city; it was pretty unbelievable. I did a School of International Training program that focused on social change. In an independent study, I looked at how women try to reconcile their professional, familial, and personal lives. The Pyrenees are a beautiful part of France and I enjoyed exploring the area with my group and my host family. I stayed with a very caring, welcoming, and fun family who made my experience abroad absolutely incredible. What have you done during your summers? I spent my first summer at Bowdoin researching Harmful Algal Blooms with the geology department. The following summer I studied French at the University of Pennsylvania. Last summer, I did a community education internship at the DC Rape Crisis Center, one of the oldest centers in the country. I led facilitations on healthy relationships at community centers, worked the hotline, and accompanied survivors to the hospital for forensic exams. What is your best Bowdoin memory? My favorite Bowdoin memory is a collage of moments: the first meal I cooked in my kitchen this year with friends, the Bowdoin-Colby hockey game my first year, the first facilitation I did at the Hyde School with SASSMM, Ivies my sophomore year, the first "Sexual Etiquette Dinner," and many small exchanges with friends. Bowdoin has been an amazing experience. I know the rest of this year will continue to be filled with wonderful moments. What are your plans for after graduation? After graduation, I aspire to continue working to prevent sexual violence. I am not sure how I will do this, but I envision three possible routes. I could become a counselor who works with individual survivors; create awareness campaigns and encourage youth education; or research sexual violence, how it manifests, how it's defined, how it's "treated," etc. I hope to take the next year to figure out exactly what I want to do by working at a resource center in the United States or abroad. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Don't think you know everything about yourself or where you are going. Give in to uncertainty and explore who you could be. I know it's scary; it's something that I did not give myself enough time to do. Because you will change so much in the next four years, allow yourself the opportunity to change. It may feel like you are just wandering about, but somewhere in the meandering, you'll find yourself. What quirky or fun thing do you wish you had known before you came to Bowdoin? I wish I had known about the comment cards in the dining halls. I think the comment cards are a perfect example of how much Bowdoin cares about its students; Dining Service caters to our requests! I once requested peanut butter sandwiches for a bag lunch and they were actually made for me. It was the best. Story posted on December 01, 2009 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home

Ok - I need to tap into the giant brains out here.
I am writing up a lit review for my thesis on disaster recovery. What I found out is that there is disaster recovery planning and then there is business continuity planning. What I am not finding are the exact differences between the two, or if these two theories of thought are one in the same. I am off to keep researching, but just wanted to get your valued input.
I am also finding out that, at least for the US, as time had progressed since 9.11, companies who were gung-ho about this type of planning have been really dropping off and moving the resources elsewhere.
Anyway thanks in advance!

THINGS look black for the Donnellys on NBC, while over at Fox, it's splitsville between the network and producer David E. Kelley's new series "Wedding Bells."
NBC will replace "The Black Donnellys" with "The Real Wedding Crashers," a new reality series from "Punk'd" producer Ashton Kutcher, on April 23, NBC announced.
Only eight episodes of "Donnellys," the series about a family of young Irish thugs in New York, will have aired by then.
There is no word on when the remaining episodes – five of them, reportedly – will air, although it's doubtful they'll air before the official end of the network TV season in May.
It is also doubtful that "Donnellys" will be back for a second season. The series has averaged about 6.7 million viewers per episode, according to Nielsen.
Meanwhile, David E. Kelley, producer of such shows as "Boston Legal" and "Ally McBeal," has struck out with "Wedding Bells" on Fox. The show has suffered in the ratings since being moved to Friday nights after premiering following "American Idol."
"While we've been pleased with the show creatively, and David's writing was first-rate, [the show] just didn't secure the ratings we'd hoped for," Fox said in a statement reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The magazine said "Wedding Bells" will cease production after its seventh episode.

The UH Design Workshop was featured in the Calabash section of the March 2011 Best of Honolulu issue of Honolulu Magazine.
The UH Mānoa Graphic Design Program initiated the UH Design Workshop in Spring of 2008 — a special studio, run by advanced Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) graphic design students (with faculty supervision) and committed to providing high-quality graphic design work for non-profit organizations in Hawai'i.
Earlier projects that the Design Workshop has undertaken include yearly planners for the UH Health Services and an annual report for the State of Hawai'i Environmental Council, the visual identity of UH Mānoa's School of Architecture and the visual identity of the Hawai'i Nature Center.
Although the studio is only three years old, all completed projects have already won local or national recognition including awards from the American Institute of Graphic Arts (Hawai'i Chapter), the American Advertising Federation (Hawai'i Chapter), and HOW Magazine, a national publication showcasing outstanding work in graphic design. Additionally, the project designed for the School of Architecture has been selected as one of the semi-finalists of the 2010 Adobe Design Achievement Awards. The project is one of 28 semi-finalists selected from over 600 international applicants.

Hispanic Churches to meet at CIU for "Impacto Global"
Hispanic Churches from around South Carolina will discuss the strategic impact they have on global missions when they gather at Columbia International University for "Impacto Global."
The one-day conference, organized by CIU, will be held in Shortess Chapel on Sept. 28 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the entire conference conducted in Spanish.
The coordinator for the event is Alvaro Williams, a student in CIU Seminary & School of Ministry, and a native of Costa Rica. He says he got involved because he has a heart for spreading the gospel around the world, and feels Hispanic churches have much to contribute to the effort – especially among unreached people groups.
"I'm a Latino, and love my people and I know about the potential this conference has for the nations," Williams said. "This event strives to gather the many Hispanic congregations in the state of South Carolina, to foster a sense of community among them and to encourage them to participate in the global cause of God."
This is the third year "Impacto Global" will be held at CIU. The theme this year is "A Global Impact Church."
"There are over 7,000 unreached people groups in the world today, many of which Americans have limited access to," Williams said. "However, the Hispanic world is welcomed by many of these groups and has an easy point of entry."
Williams says he is praying that the conference will "ignite a passion in hearts" of those who attend "to participate in the mission of God, desiring Christ's name to be exalted and known among the unreached."
There will be three plenary sessions, workshops and a panel discussion at the conference, featuring speakers with overseas experience or involved in training leaders for the mission field.

NEW YORK (AP) — It's New York City's version of American as apple pie: hot dogs, a heart-racing turn on the Cyclone or a scenic spin on the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island's historic amusement park on July Fourth.
But this year, an aging, swaying observation tower appears poised to scuttle the summer ritual, putting visitors' plans and merchants' hopes on a roller coaster ride of their own.
After concerns about the 275-foot-tall Astrotower abruptly shuttered the park Tuesday evening, the roller coaster, Ferris wheel and some other attractions remained idled Wednesday. The park's managers said they planned to remove part of the needlelike structure, making it unlikely the amusements could reopen Thursday.
"We're going to do everything we can to keep this park open," Buildings Commissioner Robert LiMandri said, but authorities said they needed to keep a chunk of it closed and even rope off part of Coney Island's famous boardwalk until they could be sure there was no danger.
While the beach, a carousel, some other amusements and Nathan's Famous — home of the July Fourth hot dog eating contest — were open, the developments had tourists trying to figure out whether to rejigger plans and vendors wishing they wouldn't have to.
"You've waited for a whole year. You just wait for this day," Victor Summers said as he stood next to the 3-D simulator ride he's operated in the shadow of the Astrotower since 1996.
"The Fourth of July — it's like Christmas for Coney Island."
The holiday cliffhanger centers on a spindle that has stood over Coney Island for nearly half a century, a beacon for a its beachfront entertainments and a memento of the space-race era in which many of them were built.
Installed in 1964, the Astrotower was a focal point of space-themed attractions that updated the beach resort and helped it endure tough years later on.
The tower was equipped with an observation car that looped around the top to offer visitors 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and Brooklyn. It instantly became a New York classic — "the big bagel in the sky," a newspaper of the time called it, and the nickname stuck.
The structure closed to visitors in 2007, but the city made a point of saying the tower would remain when a new company took on the amusement park in 2010.
Now, a portion of it will be coming down, according to a statement from the operators of the amusement park, called Luna Park. They said late Wednesday it would happen as soon as possible, but a Thursday opening is seen as improbable.
The hullaballoo began Tuesday afternoon, when someone called the fire department, concerned that the tower was swaying. The park was evacuated and shut down hours before its usual closing time as a precaution.
The needlelike structure was built to give somewhat in the wind to withstand storms, such as Superstorm Sandy last year. But recent work to remove the now-unused observation car took weight off the tower's tip and allowed it to sway more than usual, LiMandri said.
Officials found it was moving about 1.5 feet at the top, approaching the threshold of what it can safely withstand, he said, declining to give an exact figure.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Wednesday morning initial assessments showed the tower was stable, and officials weren't yet certain but were optimistic. Some attractions, including the Coney Island Raceway and the B&B Carousell, reopened around noon.
But on Wednesday afternoon, police began closing down two blocks of the boardwalk and stretching tape around the block near the Astrotower, which shifted from time to time in the wind.
"I'm losing a ton of business. I understand it's safety purposes, but it's the wrong day," Billy Burke said as he closed up Paul's Daughter, the boardwalk hot dog stand where he has worked for 31 years. He'd bought triple the amount of supplies he lays in for a normal weekend.
But, he said, he understood the stakes.
"If that thing falls, it's going to be a disaster."
Burke and other locals are accustomed to seeing the structure waggle — "every year, people complain that it's moving," said Esther Sherman, who manages Lago Furniture across the street.
But some who had watched it Tuesday said they noticed the movement was more pronounced than normal.
"It's the first time I saw it swinging like that, back and forth. I was like, 'Oh, my God,'" said Tracy Mittleman, who has lived across the street all her 34 years.
And it was squeaking, "like it just wasn't oiled, like parts were rusting," added her mother, Noreen Mittleman, 53.
Nicole Purmal, the marketing manager at Luna Park, had said Wednesday morning that the structure "definitely has a measure of movement about her," but officials were hopeful at that point that the park would reopen later in the day.
Hallie Spurlock, 11, made their first visit to Coney Island Wednesday hoping all the attractions would be open, though they had heard about the tower's troubles the night before.
"Why don't they just cut it down?" Hallie asked.

Rampant Coyote followed up to my earlier posts on this subject. Mr. Halbert had more thoughts on this as well. (And while I'm thinking about it: I check Technorati for incoming links. Technorati is sometimes capricious and unpredictable. As always, if you have a response post on your blog feel free to throw a link in the comments.)
I do notice that two of the big items on everyone's list of things computer RPG's should have are:
- It must give the player lots of freedom to make their own choices.
- It must have a great story.
But that's not so much a pair of features as a tradeoff. Great stories must be revealed at a steady rate. They must have compelling characters. They should have twists and and an escalating sense of danger. On the other hand, freedom means giving the player the ability to impose their will on the story in unpredictable ways. Imagine LOTR if Frodo destroyed the ring at the start of book two, and the rest of the story was a tale of declining danger and excitment as they mopped up the weakened orcs and marched home. There needs to be a climax and some sort of wrap-up to any good story, but this is nearly impossible if you've got a world where the player can go anywhere and kill or ignore anyone.
The DMotR strip of killing Gollum is a classic example of this. Having Gollumn follow the party was needed to set the stage for the second book. It also built tension. All of that would be wrecked if the player can just kill Gollum outright. As the game developer you can make him invincible, in which case you're taking away player freedom. "That was total BS how you could shoot that skinny little guy with like 1,000 arrows and he wouldn't die. Stupid railroading game." Now, in a tabletop game you have a human mind working on the story that can adapt as needed, but in a videogame all you have to work with is what you've programmed. The developers cannot hope to anticipate all of the crazy things players might want to do. Even if they could, writing and testing all of those possible paths would be a mammoth undertaking. What you'll end up with is a ten-hour game that requires the budget of a two-hundred hour game.
One way around this – and this applies to both videogames and tabletop games – is to create a "great" story to begin with, and then offer the player the continual illusion of freedom within that story by giving them superficial choices. The people at Bioware are masters of this show of illusory player input. It's not until your second or third trip through the game that you realize how little your dialog choices matter in KOTOR. The first time through, every choice seems meaningful, and NPC reactions are used to distract and redirect you if you attempt to veer away from the critical parts of the path.
The illusion is reinforced if you give the player lots of freedom to change things not germane to the plot:
But no matter how you set things up, an epic story is going to be at odds with total freedom. You can have more of both, but the game will take longer, cost more, and may suffer from wonky or broken quest triggers because the whole system is just too dang complex.
Despite my whining about how RPG's aren't delivering what I want, I'm sure a lot of the problem is the nature of the fanbase itself. There aren't a lot of us. (We're vastly outnumbered by FPS fans and casual players who just want another SIMS expansion.) We're also very picky, and our small demographic is broken into a number of sub-groups with conflicting desires. Some people want the freedom of Oblivion or Fallout. Some people want vibrant characters and rich stories, as with Final Fantasy. Some people are jerks like me who unreasonably demand both. And some people just want to mow down millions of golblins in their search for a sword that does 3% more damage. The marketing people bundle us all together as "RPG players", but we're not really fans of any unifying game type.
It's like the nerds at the school dance. If you're among them, you can see Computer Nerds, Socially Inept and Unattractive Nerds, Likeable but Overly Serious Nerds, Goody Two-Shoes Nerds, and D&D Nerds. But to anyone outside the group, we're just a Herd of Nerds.
Making RPG's is a tough gig. Hats off to any developer willing to endure the grueling process of developing a game so fans like me can look at their efforts and go "meh".

DELAND, Fla., July 8 (UPI) -- A Florida couple called 911 over the weekend after their "freaked out" cat attacked and trapped them in their bedroom in DeLand.
Teresa and James Gregory called police after they arrived home and were attacked by Kush, their 4-year-old Russian Blue cat. According to the couple, the feline has never had any shots or vaccinations.
"She tore me and my husband up, 'cause we left her in the bathroom all day, so I let her out and she was OK. Then, she saw my husband and she freaked," Teresa said during the call.
"I got her out of the bedroom, and now she's in my living room and I can't get out. She's got us trapped in our bedroom. We just need her out of our house. We don't know what to do."
DeLand Animal Control officers eventually arrived and took the cat. Kush will be quarantined for at least 10 days
The Gregorys suffered scratches to their legs and hands, although they declined medical attention.
The Gregorys are also not the first couple to be trapped by their own cat. In March, an Oregon couple called 911 when their 22-pound Himalayan cat went on a "rampage," attacking their baby and trapping them in a bedroom.

Not exactly sure what Bethenny Frankel is trying to prove, but the Real Housewives of NYC star has decided to share her untouched PETA nude picture with the public.
According to UsWeekly, Bethenny is sharing the untouched version of her picture in an attempt to prove she was not heavily airbrushed, as claimed by others including fellow housewife, Teresa Giudice, who recently slammed her. "Everything I'm about is being honest and being upfront," Bethenny, 39, tells UsMagazine. "So if people are talking and saying [the photo] was airbrushed…then, you know what? Here's the picture. Have it your way."
Bethenny who is now four months pregnant with her first child adds that she would "never, ever allow them to put up a billboard that was really far from the truth."
When asked about her pregnancy, Bethenny says — "It's been great. I haven't been particularly nauseous, and I get a decent night's sleep, which is refreshing. My boobs are big, but other than that, nothing's crazy." She also reveals she and fiance, Jason Hoppy, are putting off their wedding until after she gets through her pregnancy and upcoming book tour.
Perhaps it's just me, but umm doesn't the untouched version of the pic prove that it was indeed heavily airbrushed?

PHILADELPHIA--Playing an active role in their radiation treatment decisions leaves cancer patients feeling more satisfied with their care, and may even relieve psychological distress around the experience, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania report in the journal Cancer.
In a study of 305 patients undergoing radiation treatment, Neha Vapiwala, MD, an associate professor in the department in Radiation Oncology at Penn Medicine, and colleagues at link "Penn's...Center: Penn's Abramson Cancer Center found an association between patient satisfaction and patient-perceived control and shared decision making (SDM)--the process that allows patients and providers to make health care decisions together, taking into account scientific evidence as well as the patient's values and preferences.
Patients who experienced SDM or perceived some control over their treatments were more satisfied with their care than those who did not experience SDM or perception of control--a difference of almost 17 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Furthermore, increased anxiety, depression and fatigue were reported in patients who desired control over treatments but did not perceive this control.
"Most importantly, our findings emphasize the value of patient-physician relationships and communication specifically in radiation oncology, and their impact on patient experience in a way that hasn't been shown before," said Dr. Vapiwala. "No matter where cancer patients are in the treatment process, there is always an opportunity to improve patient satisfaction--something hospitals and providers have consciously and increasingly been making a priority."
Past studies of SDM in patients undergoing chemotherapy, as well as treatments for other medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, have shown an association with improved satisfaction and quality of life. Taking notice, the Institute of Medicine recently recognized its importance, and the Affordable Care Act even devotes an entire section to establishing a program for SDM. However, no group has evaluated its impact on patients going through radiation.
Often, radiation oncology is seen as a treatment avenue that is ultimately left to the physician to dictate. But there are tailored options, decisions, and discussions that can apply to individual patients, even if they all have similar diagnoses. There are different radiation regimens, dosages, risks and benefits, as well as pain control management issues, that should be part of the ongoing conversation.
Among the participants in the study, 31 percent of patients experienced SDM, 32 percent perceived control in decisions, and 76 percent reported feeling very satisfied with their radiation treatment course overall. There was a significant association noted between patient satisfaction with his/her radiation treatments and patient-perceived experience of SDM (84.4 percent vs. 71.4 percent) or perceived control over one's treatment (89.7 percent vs. 69.2 percent).
Patients who specifically desired control over their treatment decisions, but did not perceive this control, experienced significantly more anxiety (44 percent vs. 20 percent), depression (44 percent vs. 15 percent), and fatigue (68 percent vs. 39.2 percent), compared with patients who did not perceive a sense of control in their treatment decisions.
One of the strengths of the study is its diverse group of patients. Ages ranged from 18 to 87 years old, with patients of varying ethnic and racial backgrounds, and having various cancers at all stages, as long as they were well enough to participate in the study.
The next step in the research is to determine both physician and patient barriers to SDM and to determine methods to break down these barriers.
"As providers, it doesn't matter what treatment you are offering, or how complicated it is, or how busy you may be," said Dr. Vapiwala. "It's worth taking even a few minutes to talk to patients about seemingly minor decisions in which they can provide some input. It's not only critical in today's health care setting where both information and misinformation are rampant, but will very likely lead to the patient feeling positively about the encounter."
Co-authors of the study--which was funded in part by the Penn Integrative Oncology Fund--include Jacob E. Shabason, MD, Jun J. Mao, MD, MSCE, and Eitan S. Frankel.

Let's turn back the clock to the dawn of the new millennium and take a look at a Looney Tunes marketing campaign that didn't really go anywhere --- the "Mil-looney-um". In late 1998, Warner Bros. issued press releases promoting their "Mil-looney-um" campaign which was supposed to be a huge marketing blitz with tie-ins galore leading up to the year 2000. A portion of the press release:
Warner Bros.' classic Looney Tunes characters celebrate the millennium with the irreverent "Mil-LOONEY-Um," a companywide marketing initiative spanning the world beginning third quarter 1999, led by Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
In the United States, the Mil-LOONEY-Um campaign includes Kids' WB!, The WB Television Network's children's programming service, which will broadcast specially created animated interstitial programming weekdays. In addition, Kids' WB! will feature a Mil-LOONEY-Um-themed "watch & win" contest on Saturday mornings during November and December.
Additionally, Warner Bros. Studio Stores will host special in-store events in locations nationwide, including the Warner Bros. Studio Store at One Times Square.
Warner Home Video product will feature Mil-LOONEY-Um branding via on-pack stickers and Mil-LOONEY-Um moments included in the preview trailers. Warner Bros. Online will have a dedicated Mil-LOONEY-Um area on its Web site with streaming video of interstitials, online polls and shockwave games.
In the end, the "Mil-looney-um" was kind of a bust. I am not sure if not as many companies as hoped signed up or WB just lost interest or what... but all that resulted was a tie-in with Subway sandwich shops (including a commercial of the LT gang ringing in the new year and Taz devours their six-foot long party sub), a series of Smucker's jelly jars and Kraft throwing "2" and "0" shapes into their Bugs Bunny macaroni & cheese.
The promised tie-in with Kids WB never came to be and neither did the official "Mil-looney-um" website. The only newly animated interstitial intended for Kids WB didn't even surface on TV, but among the previews at the start of two Tweety-themed VHS collections in the short-lived "Looney Tunes Presents" line of videotapes.
I am not sure if any of Warner Bros. Studio Stores participated in the "Mil-looney-um" hype as the press release promised. I know the WB stores were near the end of the line by then (finally going out of business completely in 2001).
Oh well, maybe Warner Bros. will get its act together for the next millennium...

As the trend toward the use of social commerce increases, two facts are coming into evidence:
- Rather than "brand-to-fan," social commerce works best when customers initiate sharing with their friends on social networks.
- Sites like Pinterest, Fab.com and Rue La La have demonstrated the power of social curation to merchandise products in dynamic ways.
Recognizing the importance of these two factors, social commerce provider Sociable Labs has introduced a platform called EverShare that combines what it refers to as "frictionless sharing" and social curation to drive increases in referral traffic and on-site conversion.
Frictionless sharing can be defined as the shift from sharing on a per-transaction basis to a one-time opt-in by the user that enables them to share the entirety of their activity with friends.
According to Sociable Labs CEO and founder Nisan Gabbay, frictionless sharing is advantageous in two ways. Not only does it give customers the ability to share product information with their friends from the retailer's site, but authorizes sharing of their entire activity, not just a 'like'. This results in a dramatic increase in sharing of social content, which leads to an increase in inbound traffic back to the website.
"Amazon typically sees about five percent of its traffic coming from Facebook. Utilizing this frictionless sharing model, brands like Fab.com are experiencing as much as 25 percent of its traffic from Facebook," said Gabbay.
Rather than start with Facebook, Gabbay's philosophy is to position social commerce activity on the ecommerce site. "People are not not in a shopping mode on Facebook, but are there to socialize. They don't trust transacting on Facebook as much as they do on an ecommerce site, and the user experience isn't as good as on an ecommerce website," said Gabbay. "Therefore, bringing social elements onto the ecommerce site is the best approach."
According to the company, EverShare provides everything an online retailer needs to take full advantage of frictionless sharing on both Facebook and the ecommerce site . Features include:
- The ability to initiate and manage the perpetual flow of user content from the ecommerce site to Facebook;
- Privacy controls for the consumer;
- A social merchandising page much like Pinterest and Fab.com/feed that displays trending products based on what shoppers are saying about them;
- An activity stream that incentivizes more social sharing activities among shoppers.
One of Sociable's first EverShare customers, Charlotte Russe, is integrating the platform's functionality across its ecommerce site to engage its customer base. "Our customers use Facebook to manage every aspect of their lives, from announcing a new boyfriend to making plans for a girls' night out," said Paul Hollowell, marketing manager at Charlotte Russe. "EverShare, for the first time, allows us to seamlessly integrate Facebook conversations about Charlotte Russe into our website, enhancing the shopping experience with social elements."
"There's a real convergence happening in the retail space," said Gabbay. "Facebook has widened the user sharing pipeline and social curation has captivated the interest of shoppers for discovering and sharing new products. The two together will have a profound impact on how retailers merchandise their products in the future."

July 3, 1861
The House of Delegates met at 10 A. M. and the session was opened with prayer by Rev. Wesley Smith.
The Committee on Rules made their report, being the rules of the old House of Delegates, with some additions and alterations.
On motion of Mr. Porter, it was ordered that seventy-five copies be printed for the use of the House.
Mr. RUFFNER, of Kanawha, presented the following resolution:
Resolved, That this House will, with the concurrence of the Senate, proceed on Monday, the 8th inst., to elect two United States Senators, to serve during the unexpired terms of our late Senators.
Mr. BOREMAN, of Tyler, asked that the motion be so modified as to substitute Tuesday.
Mr. WEST, of Wetzel, was opposed to the postponement. He thought the House should proceed to the election at once.
Mr. WILSON, of Ohio, asked the gentleman from Kanawha to withdraw his resolution for a moment.
Mr. RUFFNER withdrew it, and
Mr. WILSON offering the following:
Whereas, R. M. T. Hunter and James M. Mason, late United States Senators, of this State, have vacated their seats in that body; therefore be it
Resolved, That this House will, with the concurrence of the Senate, proceed at two o'clock to-day to select two Senators to supply the said vacancies and serve for the residue of the terms for which those gentlemen were elected.
Mr. RUFFNER proposed to strike out the time set by the resolution.
Mr. MOSS moved that "to-day" be stricken out and Tuesday next be substituted.
Mr. LOGAN, of Ohio, was opposed to going into the election immediately. He thought the first business to be done should be the appointment of the standing committees. He hoped the motion to postpone till Tuesday would prevail. He did not think it essential to elect Senators at once on account of having them recognized by Congress, as the Government at Washington had already virtually acknowledged the new Government of Virginia.
Mr. WEST thought that the recognition thus far received was not sufficient. He thought it important that the Senators should be at Washington, prepared to take their seats. Their admission there would be strong and conclusive evidence that the matter of a recognition was finally settled in our favor. The government of Virginia must be recognized by the Congress of the United States before it is any government, and the sooner that is done the better.
Mr. BOREMAN hoped the election would not be pressed. Many of the delegates and Senators elected on Saturday had not yet had time to get official knowledge of their election, and in so important an election he desired that all the counties and districts shall be represented. He hoped the matter would be postponed until these members could be present.
Mr. MOSS said that in respect to a recognition by the Federal Government, the documents accompanying the Governor's Message showed very clearly that this State Government is recognized. If the proposition to postpone till Tuesday were voted down, he would then move to go into an election for one Senator only, but he hoped the election would be postponed.
The question was then taken, and the resolution, as amended, was adopted.
So the election of United States Senators was postponed until Tuesday next.
Mr. ZINN, of Preston, offered the following:
Resolved, That this House will proceed, with the concurrence of the Senate, to the election of Secretary of the Commonwealth, Auditor of Public Accounts and Treasurer of the Commonwealth.
Mr. LOGAN opposed the resolution. His own judgment was, that they should proceed at once to the appointment of the committees, so that they might enter on their duties and prepare business for the House. The election of these officers would not interfere with the appointment of the committees. The Speaker would make the appointments in his own room. He never did see such a disposition to postpone things that ought to be done. Here they had been in session three days, and even the officers of the house were not yet appointed. If it was the pleasure of the House to postpone, he had no particular objections, but he did not see why the election could not proceed at once, as well as on Friday.
Mr. BOREMAN said it should not, for the reasons that caused them to postpone the Senatorial election. He thought it not only desirable, but a matter of justice, that all the members - those yet absent, as well as those present - should have a voice in the elections. He had no apology for those who could be here, and were not; but there were many who had not yet been able to reach here in the short time that had transpired since the election, and in consequence of the cutting off of means of conveyance. He trusted their right to participate in the filling of these important offices would not be regarded. He moved to amend the resolution so as to postpone until Tuesday.
The resolution thus amended was adopted.
Mr. CROTHERS, of Brooke, offered the following, which was adopted.
Resolved, That the Committee on military affairs (when appointed) inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill authorizing the County Court of Brooke county to levy a tax to arm and equip volunteers from said county in the service of the United States, within the State of Virginia.
Mr. BOREMAN offered the following, which was adopted.
Resolved, That the Committee on Courts of Justice (when appointed) inquire into the expediency of providing a prison for confinement of persons punishable with confinement in the Penitentiary.
The Chair presented a communication inviting the House to participate with the Sabbath Schools of the city in the celebration of the Fourth of July.
On motion of Mr. Ruffner, it was received and laid on the table.
On motion of Mr. Moss, it was
Resolved, That when this House adjourn it be until Friday at the usual hour.
Mr. CRAMAR of Monongalia offered the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation (when appointed) inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill authorizing a release of the State's interest in the stock of the Morgantown Bridge Company to the private stockholders of said Bridge Company.
The House then adjourned.
The Senate met at 12 M.
The Committee reported rules and regulations for the government of the body.
On motion, it was ordered that fifty copies be printed for the use of the Senate.
CHAPMAN J. STEWART offered the following resolution, which was ordered to lie on the table and made the special order for Tuesday next:
Resolved, That the twenty-seven thousand dollars obtained from the Exchange Bank of Virginia at Weston, which had been appropriated and deposited in said Bank for the purpose of constructing the North-western Virginia Lunatic Asylum at Weston, Virginia, be and the same is hereby held inviolate and sacred to the purpose for which it was originally appropriated, and will be subject to the order of the superintendent of said institution; who may hereafter be appointed for such purpose.
The Senate concurred in the action of the House of Delegates, postponing the election of United State Senators till Tuesday next, and adjourned over till Friday.

InterRailing summer 2013!!!
In summer 2013 after i finish university i want to interRail across Europe. I plan on buying a months global pass and see where it takes me, i haven't got any set places i want to go to, but i'd like to go to as many places as possible and experience the different cultures.
So yeah i am really flexible on where i go/what i do, i aim to just take things as they come really. I like the nightlife, so cities like Berlin would be a highlight for me because the scene there is great. Culture wise too Italy is a must, i went to Lake Garda a couple of years ago and loved it!
To keep the costs down i will be sleeping in hostels which are really cheap, or on the trains on travel days.
Also after the pass is run out and cost dependent, i would like to have a holiday on top of the trip in the country that i get most attached to on the trip.
If anyone is interested or wants to know more about my planned trip then please get in touch :) It would be great to have some travelling partners!
InterRailing summer 2013!!!

Vargas 2003 World cup.
<span class="text">This years Vargas event was the competitive unveiling for the new EVO waveboards.
I was pretty excited as I knew we had a bit of an advantage over everyone else with these boards in these kind of conditions. (Usually waist to head high beach breaks) There were the obvious smart remarks from various smart fellas, but these comments weren't to be heard after they'd seen them on the water
In light conditions (5.3) and not very powerful waves, Ty and myself had the obvious advantage of being able to carry speed through turns, where other people were bogging down.
There were numerous occasions that the conditions threatened with the possibility of competition, but unfortunately, only stuck around to give a glimpse of what might have been. One heat that Ty did get to sail - he was standing way out above the rest. Where others were struggling for speed at the lip, Ty was getting airs and powerful hits.
People had to take notice. Levi Siver commented how sick Ty was sailing on the Evo, Matt Pritchard on how much drive we seemed to have, and Kauli Seadi was around to have a good old check of the boards, as did a lot of other sailors.
Then the contest was over and we didn't get our chance, however, as the contest finished, and most people left, the wind returned. It was then time to see how the EVO 74 handled Pozo with overpowered 4.2.
All I can say for that is, I can't believe how good it felt. I had frontside onshore airs never before possible from my conventional boards. My fears of the board feeling too wide in the strong winds were unconfirmed. It handled the speed and chop like a dream.
Basically, I can't go back to conventional boards at the this point </span>

You take the road that runs parallel to Kyongbok palace where all the posh galleries are (Hyundai, Kukjae etc) and where the French Culture center used to be. Are you with me? Get to the end of that road and turn right up a steep hill. That's Sanchon-dong, that area. It's about 15 minute walk up the hill and you'll find the embassy on the right in a steep sloping side road. Alternatively, take a taxi?
