can search but not many gtl are listed
On page 5 of the Nov ON is an ad for MaxBMW and a feature of tires available for each model. I tried it a few minutes ago and it only lists one rear tire currently, which is a Metz Z8...or my computer is loading very slowly.
. The magazine ad shows a 12RT and several brands and full product info
Any manufacturer that meets the size listed in your owners manual will work. Michelin Pilot Road 3's are in the same category as the Metzeler.
Depends on how you ride and in what type weather as well and everyone has their favorites.

thanks for info i am sure thier will be more comments as bikes get more mileage
You got 12,000 miles from a pair of tires!!!!!! I would put those Bridgestones back on. I got Metz. Z8s They get very lumpy at 3,000 miles. Will try Mich. Road Pilot 3 next.
I was getting about 8000 miles a set out of the dunlop roadsmarts on my 1150RT. They worked very well in all weather conditions. I am finishing the buying process of my new 1600gt through the mail now. My bike is in WA and I am working in Hawaii till the end of Dec. Hoping for a wet not white christmas so I can play with my new toy that will be waiting for me in my garage.
I will probably use the roadsmarts again or try the pilot road 3's, unless something better turns up.

I ride a heavier K1200LT. I just put my second set of Avon Storm II Ultra's on. Love those tires. Had Metzler's before. The Avons are much stickier. Got just over 9,000 miles on the rear, and 10,000 on the front.
I've been running the Michelin Pilots for the last 3 tire sets on my K1200RS. They are great tires, they will be my next set again.
'99 K1200RS (the fast one)
At 12k on your tires you are way ahead of most out there.
I got 5500 out of the Metzlers and they had to be replaced. Mostly highway miles and I don't ride hard.
I had to replace them with the same because no one could get me the Pilot Road 3s at the time I needed replacement.
I have a new set of PR3s in my garage for next change. Good reports on them from those running them now. Hopefully there will be better mileage reposrt on the PR3s.

Then I put Road Pilot 3 on it and have put 900 miles on them, and they are showing cupping pretty bad allready. Showed the dealer ( did not purchase them from dealer) and the dealer said that the road pilot tire wasnt designed for that heavy of a bike. I would rethink the Pilot 3's.

Onsite Coverage: New Times, New Security Threats
LAS VEGAS — About 50 credit union IT executives filled the room at the annual Credit Union Infosecurity Conference and, on day one, they heard presentations about new threats in a new era as speakers offered insights into social media and document management.
A key message: "Social media impact your credit union whether you have them or not," said Mike Kiefer, general manager at reputation management firm BrandProtect.
His point in Wednesday's session at the Platinum Hotel and Spa was that whether or not a credit union uses Facebook or Twitter or Google+, its members and maybe also its employees already are talking about the institution online and a savvy credit union takes steps to listen in on the conversation.
Also from Credit Union Infosecurity Conference:
"It's not about you. It's about them," said Kiefer. He added that many experts now classify social media as "a top five business risk."
Kiefer stressed that a credit union needs to have an employee social media policy – what can and what shouldn't they say online?
Ditto for a vendor social media policy. What can they say about the institution?
Particularly worrisome, said Kiefer, are what he called "rogue" executive and corporate sites which are social media pages that purport to belong to, say, a credit union CEO or the credit union itself but are erected by imposters.
He flashed a slide of a rogue site that plagued Bank of America for several days until Google took it down and, suggested Kiefer, if that can happen to the biggest, it certainly can happen to smaller institutions.
The antidote is straightforward: "Register your social domains. Claim the corporate pages and also the executive pages," he urged.
He also stressed that credit unions need to "continually revise their social media policy for employees, agents and contractors" and in that effort, they also need to raise security awareness.
Still more worries were aired by Steve Comer, an executive with document management company Hyland Software who warned "this is an area often overlooked in security."
The problem of course is that documents contain sensitive member information and if it is released by an employee – typically in a careless mistake, but occasionally as a result of malicious intent – there are substantial hits on reputation that can lead to lost revenues.
Comer offered pungent advice: "If it isn't needed, don't store it." Many institutions, he stressed, create troubles for themselves by hanging onto information long after it ceased to have a business value.
That is why he stressed that, "first and foremost, every credit union needs a document retention policy."
Another key to good document management: "Restrict access to member data on a need to know basis." A teller, for instance, rarely would have a valid need to know a member's full Social Security number and Comer's point is that sound policy is "to give people the least privileges necessary."
He also stressed that every user needs a unique ID to access member data, a practice not always followed, he said, with many institutions using a generic access ID – such as "CU-USER1" – which makes it nearly impossible to determine who accessed what, if and when problems arise.
Among the credit unions attending this three-day event - which bills itself as the only conference specifically focused on credit union security - are Stanford Federal Credit Union in Palo Alto, Calif., Hughes Federal Credit Union in Tucson, Ariz., Kansas State University Federal Credit Union in Manhattan, Kan., and Southland Credit Union in Los Alamitos, Calif.

Open House
Every Tuesday around 7pm we open our doors and hold an Open House, to welcome the general public to the wonderful world of hackerspaces. The Open House is generally more of a social gathering, but members can and do show up to hack on their projects. We welcome guests and visitors to work on something if they wish, as long as our policies are followed.
The Open House activity varies from week to week, but generally involves giving tours, answering questions about the space, introductions to members that share the same interests. Visitors are encouraged to wander around and explore all the things Freeside has to offer.
Board of Directors
The Freeside Board of Directors meets the first Saturday of every month to guide the direction of the space, plan and discuss how to best fulfill our mission, manage operations, and enact policies.
Meetings are always open to members and the public. We usually meet at Freeside around Nooner EST. Ask ahead or join our mailing list to find out the exact time and place.
Meeting Minutes

Member Meetings
Member meetings are held the second Saturday of every other month to both inform and solicit input from the membership about the direction of the space, discuss policies, and address concerns. Since every member has nearly limitless power to transform the space to suit their interests, the member meetings are an excellent opportunity to coordinate these efforts with others.
Member meetings are usually members-only and closed to the public, but if you really want to attend we probably won't stop you.

The development cycle of Pokémon Gold and Silver, released in 1999 in Japan and 2000 elsewhere, is probably the most discussed and researched of all releases in the main series games during the history of the franchise. A relatively broad amount of official material in combination with later investigations reveal a lot of details about incomplete and unreleased elements. Several aspects from the development stages are proof of the over two-year period in which Game Freak undertook with the sequels to the Generation I games.
- 1 Pre-release
- 2 Post-release
- 3 References
- 4 External links
First mention of Pocket Monsters 2
In 1997, Nintendo announced the first details about the then-next generation of Pocket Monsters games, to be titled Pocket Monsters 2: Gold & Silver (Japanese: ポケットモンスター2 金・銀). The games were intended to be released at the end of the year for the original Game Boy, while supporting the Super Game Boy enhancements that the Generation I games have.
One of the many notable additions promised was a skateboard that could be used in addition to the Bicycle of the previous games and which would allow the player to travel to "unusual places". Though this never made the final cut, other things announced, such as the time system with its real-time clock as well as 100 new Pokémon, including new evolutions of old Pokémon, and new TMs and HMs containing new moves, were included. The communication abilities of the games were also to be improved, and backwards compatibility with the Generation I games was also announced.
A 1997 edition of MicroGroup Game Review showcased some prototype Pokémon and characters that were later scrapped.
Sprites of Donphan, Ampharos, Slowking, and Ho-Oh was also released, using the Super Game Boy palettes.
Concept art of Silver, Ledyba and the opening cutscene of the games was also published.
Four of the "new" Pokémon that would be included in Pocket Monsters 2.
New Pokémon in the anime
The anime also provided early looks at the new Pokémon. Ho-Oh, the eventual version mascot of Pokémon Gold, appeared in the first episode. Later, Togepi hatched from an Egg Ash himself found, and Misty became the first main character to own a Generation II Pokémon. Snubbull and Marill made their first appearances in Pikachu's Vacation, and Donphan appeared at the start of Mewtwo Strikes Back. During the second season of the English dub, Ash and Misty also encountered Tracey, who owned a Marill; Lugia, the version mascot of Pokémon Silver, was the focus of the second movie, in which Slowking also appeared. Bellossom, Ledyba, Hoothoot, and Elekid also made an appearance in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure.
First screenshots
The color scheme in these screenshots corresponds to the Super Game Boy palettes, as the games hadn't been developed with the Game Boy Color in mind yet. It also sported the palette-swapping functionality that is also present in the Generation I games.
At this time, the initial game screenshots released didn't look all that much different from the Generation I games. The pictures clearly show the games' engine being in a more developed but still early stage. The lack of battle screenshots would seem to indicate that a redone battle system had not been implemented yet.
As can be seen on one of the screenshots, whirlpools were originally randomly interspersed across sea routes to serve as obstacles.
On some other screenshots of different stages of development, part of a city resembling Ecruteak City is seen. Whether it was an actual prototype of Ecruteak City or a completely distinct location is not known.
A screenshot depicting an earlier design for the Pokémon Center also shows an Unown ruin on the upper-right corner, which was possibly related to the Ruins of Alph or an equivalent location at that point in development.
A simplified version of the northwestern-most section of Route 35, near the gate to National Park also appeared on one of the screenshots. The differences from the final design of the route include water instead of trees and fences, with the path to the right not being open.
Another screenshot also depicts possible prototypes of Goldenrod Radio Tower as well as of a gate, possibly the gate that leads to Route 35 or rather the Magnet Train station in Goldenrod City.
A possible prototype of Ecruteak City or a completely scrapped location.

Delayed release
The end of 1997 passed without a release for Pocket Monsters 2: Gold & Silver. The potential release date was removed, and things generally stayed quiet until March 1998, where it was officially announced that the release would be delayed.
It was at this time that the games were re-announced as Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver. Though the number 2 was dropped, the games remained as sequels to the Generation I games. Much of the year was quiet with regard to information about the games, as Pocket Monsters: Pikachu was on its way out in Japan, and Pokémon Red and Blue and the Pokémon anime were on their way to the United States.
More information
Following nearly a year without press releases, the Nintendo of Japan website was finally updated with new information on Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver. A revised release date of June 1999 was given and it was announced the games would be compatible with the then soon-to-be-released Game Boy Color.
Ken Sugimori's artwork for Slowking, Marill, Bellossom, and Hoothoot was also released, as were several screenshots of the new battle system featuring fully-colored sprites.
The battle screens are very similar to the final ones but the absence of gender notation is apparent. Pokémon gender was a previously announced feature, and the graphical indicator of the gender during battle was likely added later as a convenience to players.
The move stats screen, which in the final release shows players the remaining and total amount of PP for each move, as well as its type, was apparently not fully completed at this point in development.
The battle system, nearly complete, was demonstrated, including wild Pokémon encounters. The new Pokédex, while close to completion, was still missing several features, such as the footprint and National Pokédex number of the Pokémon. The location, cry, and printing functions were also missing.
The screenshots released look very similar to the actual footage of the final release. The locations shown do not appear to be part of the final map, though they look similar.

"Now investigating this newly discovered Pokémon."
Since Pokémon Gold and Silver were released, other things have been uncovered that reveal interesting details about their development.
The final releases have a large number of incomplete maps that detail what most Johto towns looked like during the development stages. Some data pertaining to Kanto locations that are not available is also present.
Ecruteak Pharmacy
Another complete map is a house in Olivine City, where a woman refers to a pharmacy in Ecruteak City instead of Cianwood City on both Japanese and English releases. This possibly suggests that the pharmacy was originally planned for Ecruteak City. Oddly enough, she has a Rhydon inside her house, which uses a bugged overworld sprite that intermittently changes between its own and the one resembling a Clefairy.
The following text is from the woman's speech:
- Japanese
あたしの ポケモンが びょうきに なったときは エンジュの クスリやさんに クスリを つくって もらったの
- English
When my Pokémon got sick, the Pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me.
Interacting with the Pokémon's overworld sprite will yield:
- Japanese
- English
Rhydon: Gugooh!
Safari Zone
One of the most complete prototype maps found in their internal data is a rough version of the Safari Zone. Surprisingly, it has several of its attributes defined, such as music, connections to Fuchsia City and even wild Pokémon found by fishing in a small pool in the area, which other prototype maps do not have. The Safari Zone also appears in the internal list of Pokégear map locations, along with Viridian Forest, Cerulean Cave, and Pokémon Mansion.
Pokémon Lab
Full maps without events programmed in exist for the Pokémon Lab in Cinnabar Island, indicating that Cinnabar Island was originally planned to make an appearance without the erupted volcano, or at least that the Lab was going to remain.

Prototype of Route 23
A mine cart image was discovered on the cave tilesets. The player character's early sprites, which depict him without his Bag, are still present in the games' code as well.
An unused event script, complete with text, was discovered.[1] In it, a different event for a level 40 Entei, analogous to the birds in Generation I, was planned. The script consists of three events: output text on-screen, play Entei's cry and initiate a battle with a wild level 40 Entei. The output text is: "Entei: Bufuu!"
This unused event was removed from Pokémon Crystal.
There is also unused text strings for an event related with the Burned Tower, where someone's daughter was missing.[2] It is possible that this event made its final debut as the missing granddaughter in the S.S. Aqua.
Oh, no. Oh, no…
My daughter is missing.
No… She couldn't have gone to the Burned Tower. I told her not to go near it… People seem to disappear there…
Oh, what should I do…?
Sweet Honey
A bunch of text strings refer to Sweet Honey, suggesting that Honey was already planned for the Generation II games but that it was scrapped later, until it was thought on again, finally making its debut in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
My Pokémon is an expert at collecting Sweet Honey.
If the unidentified NPC were to give Sweet Honey to the player:
I'll share some with you.
If the player did not have enough room in his Bag:
I want to give you some Sweet Honey, but you have no room for it.
If the player had room in the Bag:
Here you go! Have some Sweet Honey!
{Player} received Sweet Honey.
Other text related to Sweet Honey includes:
My little brother takes Sweet Honey and goes somewhere with it.
I wonder what he's up to?
Did you put Sweet Honey on a tree? What happened to it?
Did you put Sweet Honey on a tree? It takes about a day for Pokémon to be drawn to it.
Butterfree: Freeh!
Naming the mother
Data, including text strings, remain for yet another forgotten feature: the ability to name the player's mother. Space is reserved in RAM for two other names as well, which default to Red and Green—the protagonist and his rival from the Generation I games.
Bird type
The Bird type from the Generation I games remains in the internal data. This is presumed to be a carryover from the Generation I games' engine, as Pokémon Gold and Silver were developed on an upgraded version of it.
The Town Map and Poké Flute from the Generation I games are also present. Both are named Teru-sama (Japanese: カビチュウ Kabichū) and are otherwise unusable. However, if their data is modified so that the Use option in the Bag appears, the Poké Flute will still function, and the Town Map will attempt to, but fail, as the data it would access was relocated or removed altogether.
There is unused battle data for Cal, the default opponent at the Trainer House. There are two parties—one with the initial evolutionary stages of the Johto starters and one with their second evolutionary stages. As Viridian City and its Trainer House cannot be legally accessed until much later in the player's adventure, it is unknown what purpose these parties would have served.
Game Corner
A second card-flipping Game Corner game was planned.

From The Telluride Watch (Peter Shelton):
TI is ramping up a new watershed initiative, in two parts. The first event is the screening, at the Nugget Theater on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 8 p.m., of the Redford Center documentary Watershed: Exploring a New Water Ethic for the New West. The film – about the Colorado River, its complicated history and controversial future – uses character studies to tell the story, from a fishing guide at the headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park to a rancher in Durango, from a group of river rafting Outward Bound teens to a project manager at the river's delta, in Mexico, a place that rarely sees water actually reach the sea…
The second part of the Institute's new push on water is called the Watershed Expedition Series, a quarterly film and lecture series jointly supported by the Watershed Education Program and Telluride's Wilkinson Public Library.
VISTA intern Sophia Cinnamon (firstname.lastname@example.com) is spearheading this one, with an emphasis, she says, on "creating a platform for local explorers to share with the community about their adventures and the relation to the natural resources they depend on to travel and recreate."
The first evening in the series features two Colorado College graduates and their films "at the crossroads of watershed development and conservation."
Zak Podmore will screen his film Remains of a River at the Library on Tuesday, . on Jan. 22, at 6 p.m. (A reception with the presenters precedes the show at 5:30 p.m.)[…]
The second presenter is Julia Nave, who will talk about her recent trip to the Sacred Headwaters area of British Columbia. With a National Geographic Young Explorer's grant, she and five other skiers explored the remote Tadogin Plateau backcountry, a pristine wilderness under threat of mining and fracking.

Mommy Dearest: Mom Drunk at School Drop-Off
Mommy Dearest,
I volunteer at the drop-off at my children's private school each morning. I usually direct traffic or help students from the cars and pass paperwork to their parents.
The other day, while assisting one of my daughter's first grade classmates from his car, I smelled a strong scent of alcohol in the vehicle and on his mother's breath when she told him to have a good day. I noticed it once before, but let it go thinking it was my imagination.
It was only eight o'clock in the morning! I had heard rumors that the woman was a drinker, but am appalled that she put her own child at risk. I cannot confront her since she is always with him so what should I do?
— Appalled By Intoxicated Mom
To read Mommy Dearest's response,
Appalled By Intoxicated Mom,
I agree confronting the woman would probably make the child extremely uncomfortable, however you must do something since she is putting her son at risk as well as everyone else on the road. I would recommend reporting the incident to the school and following up with them to make sure some course of action is taken.
Hopefully, they will be able to offer the mom the help she may need.

It was only a matter of time. The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Kendall and Kylie, are following in the footsteps of their older sisters (who own more brands than we can keep track of) and getting into the clothing design game.
The sisters' line will be aimed at tweens and teens and according to WWD, it will debut next spring and include shirts, pants, shorts and accessories.
"We always get asked what we are wearing, so when we got the chance to design our line with Majestic Mills, we were thrilled," the sisters tell PEOPLE. "We have been really excited by the creative design process from the start because we love fashion, and we can't wait to share it with our fans!"
And while it may be their first foray into apparel, Kendall and Kylie are hardly newbies when it comes to the fashion scene. They're Seventeen contributors, jewelry designers (the collection was slated to launch this year) and successful models.
Though details regarding the collection are limited, our money is on pieces that reflect the teens' personal style. Think: bright colors, high hemlines and super-trendy details. In other words, don't expect understated. Tell us: Are you excited to see Kendall and Kylie's clothing line? Do you think it will be a success?

Panasonic introduced its new solid-state AJ-HPM200, a P2 HD mobile recorder/player featuring an exciting range of new editing, recording and AV/IT connection functions, and multi-format compatibility including optional AVCHD support.
The HPM200 offers all of the popular features found in its predecessor, the AJ-HPM110, and adds new functionality including: enhanced cuts editing with separate source and record windows, full-frame rate playback from external disk drives, AVCHD compatibility (with the AJ-YCX250G option card), up-conversion of live video inputs in real time, FTP and Giga-bit Ethernet interfaces for expanded network connectivity and 24p Time Code input for production applications, including use as a source for a traditional dailies process.
With DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra standard as well as optional AVCHD compatibility and expanded input/output connections, the HPM200 P2 Mobile is the most comprehensive and versatile master-quality HD field recorder and can be used with virtually any camera. The field recorder offers 10-bit independent frame 4:2:2 quality recording in a variety of high definition formats and frame rates, including 1080p (native), 1080i and 720p, and also records in standard definition DVCPRO50/25 and DV.
The HPM200's AVCHD compatibility gives users more options for content management, backup recording and distribution. Professionals can play back AVCHD content on an SD card using the unit's SD card slot, convert P2 content to AVCHD for low bit rate distribution over the network, convert AVCHD to P2 to edit in a P2 project, or record P2 and AVCHD simultaneously for backup or distribution, especially useful for producing on-set dailies. SD cards with AVCHD content can be inserted into and played back on a growing number of consumer playback devices with SD card slots, including Blu-ray players, select plasma displays, game consoles and more.
With enhanced editing functions and network capabilities, the HPM200 has increased appeal for use in production facilities, news, sports, and live event staging applications. The HPM200's split screen function displays both the source and recorded images simultaneously for easier editing. The new P2 Mobile adds new features such as clip exchange, multiple clip selection, undo/redo last action, auto record, and text memo. The HPM200 also offers two-channel voice over recording and real-time audio memory during playback (adjust and save audio levels during playback).
The HPM200 is equipped with the range of audio/video and IT connections offered in the HPM110, including HD-SDI input/output, analog component/composite and audio, IEEE 1394 and USB2.0. The new field recorder adds compatible AES Digital audio inputs/outs as well as high-speed eSATA and Giga-bit Ethernet (GigE), which provide users with even more choices to enhance workflow. The HPM200 can ensure the highest recording quality with 10 bit 4:2:2 AVC-Intra or compatibility with existing DVCPRO editors when connected to any HD-SDI equipped camera, camcorder, deck or device. Professionals can then randomly access and view content selected via thumbnail clips on the unit's built-in 9-inch LCD monitor.
The HPM200 is ideal for transitioning ENG users shooting SD on Panasonic P2 HD camcorders to HD field editing. It's the perfect workflow tool when a project or news story is shot using P2 HD and AVCCAM camcorders. The HPM200 can convert edited clips to AVCHD for more convenient handling; the clips can then be transferred to an FTP server via GigE or saved on an SD card for storage or distribution. Users also have the option of connecting a hard disk drive directly to the unit via eSATA for faster transfers and access to content. Additional valuable features, similar to the HPM110, include RS-422A for remote control operation, a range of recording functions including loop record, eight 16-bit digital audio channels, built-in waveform monitor and vectorscope, broadcast-level editing controls with a jog/shuttle dial (100x forward/reverse speed) and audio faders, an SD card slot and assignable user files.
The HPM200 has the durable, compact P2 Mobile laptop-style design, with a magnesium die-cast frame for easy transport. It operates on either AC or DC power and is backed by a five-year limited warranty program (Panasonic Broadcast's normal 1-year basic warranty plus an extended warranty for years two through five upon product registration).
The HPM200 will be available this October at a suggested list price of $16,000. The AJ-YCX250G AVCHD option card will be available at a suggested list price of $3,000.
P2 HD all solid-state products offer high definition recording without the mechanical wear and environmental limitations of tape, hard disk, and optical disc based systems. P2 HD ensures the highest
reliability, especially in challenging conditions of extreme temperature range, shock, and vibration. P2 HD products provide a significant reduction in maintenance costs, longer useful product life, and immediate access to recorded video (no need to digitize, ingest or create proxy video files) and metadata. P2 HD provides the reliability of solid-state production; the immediate connectivity to existing IT infrastructures; the speed, ease of use and portability of P2 cards; and the interoperability with leading NLE systems.

New Facebook feature makes Slide's Top Friends app redundant
If you're the application developer and they're the platform owner, you have to know death can come at any moment: Create a popular, simple application, and the platform owner might just rip you off in their next release. It's happened to Max Levchin's Slide, maker of the popular Facebook widget Top Friends. With its latest profile redesign, Facebook now allows users to specify which friends they'd like to display to profile visitors. (See how Facebook's version works in the image above and you'll note that with the friends I've selected, my goal is to intimidate profile visitors with my powerful connections.) Before you feel too sorry for Slide, note that this is a feature MySpace has long offered. Slide, seeing that Facebook lacked it, promptly cooked up Top Friends, which filled the void. Top Friends is Slide's second most popular application with nearly 1.5 million daily active users. On the strength of those user numbers, Slide has raised $50 million in a recent financing round, and is opening an ad-sales office in New York. We asked for Slide's reaction. They were surprisingly chipper!
"Yes, we view this feature as directly competitive to a relatively small part of our Top Friends functionality," Slide's Keith Rabois told us. "A developer on any platform must expect that their popular, but simple, features will be absorbed into platform over time."
But none of this has the salesman in Rabois down. He goes on:
You can see that Top Friends has a very large number of complex features that have a complicated back-end (Awards, Visual Personality, Music, world-class skins) — we expect those will continue to be long-term strategic advantages over other large developers and the platforms themselves
The secret of social networking revealed: world-class skin! We always suspected as much.

FLENS is short for Flexible Library for Efficient Numerical Solutions. This C++ can be used as a builing block for the implementation of other (higher-level) numerical libraries or numerical applications. It is a C++ library (requires a C++11 conform compiler). Easy install, as FLENS is headers only. It gives you Matrix/vector types for dense linear algebra; a generic (i.e. templated) implementation of BLAS; and a generic reimplementation of LAPACK. If high performance BLAS libraries like ATLAS, GotoBLAS, etc. are available, you simply can link against them and boost performance.
GHCN Processor is a command-line tool that reads temperature data from the Global Historical Climatic Network (GHCN) database and produces an annual or monthly temperature series in CSV format for an arbitrary set of stations. Stations are filtered based on a simple EL expression passed to the tool. For example, you can select only stations that are in the Northern Hemisphere, in hilly and rural locations. You can also select stations that started reporting in a given year, and so on. The tool supports more than one method of grid partitioning, station combination, and can use both the adjusted data and raw unadjusted data.
GRALE is a set of tools - a library and a number of accompanying applications - to study gravitational lenses. Gravitational lenses are astronomical objects so massive that their gravitational pull even deflects light rays. This can cause multiple copies of the same background object to be visible, like a cosmic mirage. The locations and shapes of these copies can provide information about the mass distribution of the gravitational lens, which GRALE can help recover using a genetic algorithm-based method. Apart from these so-called lens inversions, it's also possible to simulate gravitational lenses.
Global Paths Matching is an implementation of the global paths graph matching algorithm proposed by Maue and Sanders in "Engineering Algorithms for Approximate Weighted Matching" (WEA'07). Given a graph G=(V,E), a matching M is a set of edges without common vertices, i.e. the graph G=(V,M) has a degree of at most one. The algorithm scans the edges in order of decreasing weight (or rating), constructing a collection of paths and even length cycles. These paths initially contain no edges. While scanning the edges, the set is extended by successively adding applicable edges, which are those connecting two endpoints of different paths or two endpoints of an odd length path. Optimal solutions/matchings are computed for each path and cycle using dynamic programming.
GraphInsight is visualization software that lets you explore graph data through high quality interactive representations. Data exploration and knowledge extraction from graphs is of great interest nowadays: knowledge is disseminated in social networks, and services are powered by cloud computing platforms. Data miners deal with graphs every day. Humans are extremely good at identifying patterns and outliers. Interacting visually with your data can give you better intuition and higher confidence in what you are looking for.
GriF is a collaborative grid framework to support computational chemistry applications. It is meant to be used as a tool to facilitate massive grid calculations and also to improve scientific collaboration. Accordingly, GriF facilitates profiling the users of grid communities in order to systematically evaluate the work carried out in a grid and to foster its sustainability.
HEALPix is a set of scientific tools implementing the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelation of the sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelation produces a subdivision of a spherical surface in which every single pixel covers the same surface area. HEALPix provides various programs and libraries in C, C++, Fortran, GDL/IDL, Java, and Python which facilitate discretization, simulation, processing, analysis, and visualization of data on the sphere up to very high resolution. It is the state-of-the-art program used in astronomy and cosmology to deal with massive full-sky data sets.
KaHIP - Karlsruhe High Quality Partitioning - is a family of graph partitioning programs that tackle the balanced graph partitioning problem. It focuses on solution quality and implements flow-based methods, more-localized local searches, and several parallel and sequential meta-heuristics.

We will begin the theatrical season with "Fires in the Mirror". Originally produced as a one-woman show, written and performed by Anna Deveare Smith, this seminal piece of "documentary theatre" will be performed by an ensemble and chronicles the events -- and divergent points of view -- concerning the Crown Heights, Brooklyn riots of 1991. The fall musical will be Stephen Sondheim's musical interpretation of the Brothers Grimm, "Into the Woods". Rounding out the fall semester will be funny-man David Ives' latest collection of comic shorts, "Mere Mortals".
The annual collaboration between the Ithaca College School of Music and the Department of Theatre Arts, will be Emmanuel Chabrier's opéra bouffe in three acts L'étoile. The spring musical, "Gone Missing", was created by the Civilians theatre troupe and concerns many dramatic possibilities of the very human experience of losing something that never was found. Finishing up the season is Arthur Miller's American classic, "The Crucible". Set during the Salem witch trials of 17th century New England, "The Crucible" was a response to the Communist "witch hunts" of the 1950's of which playwright Miller was a victim.

Prospect Smith adapting to Majors with coaches' help
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
BALTIMORE -- Having dispensed of one substantial first in his Major League career on Saturday when he made his Major League debut against the Rays, Padres starting pitcher Burch Smith had yet another noteworthy first on Tuesday afternoon -- his first side session.
Four hours before the Padres faced the Orioles at Camden Yards, Smith, pitching coach Darren Balsley and bullpen coach Willie Blair spent time in the bullpen for a between-starts session that was as much philosophical as it was physical.
"I'm anxious to get back out there and throw again," Smith said.
Smith worked a 1-2-3 first inning against the Rays on Saturday and then allowed six runs in the second without getting an out. He'll start on Friday at Petco Park against the Nationals.
When he does start again, Smith aims to use his curveball and changeup more. He threw only four non-fastballs out of 42 pitches total against the Rays.
"I think the side session went well, and I tried to absorb as much information as I could. We discussed the differences between a fastball-dominant pitcher in the Minor Leagues and one in the big leagues," Smith said.
"I'm learning when it's a good time to throw a curveball or changeup. I'm going to try and incorporate that in my next start."
When Smith was promoted last week -- he arrived on Friday in St. Petersburg -- manager Bud Black and his staff, as typically is the case, let him pore over scouting reports but didn't meddle much, knowing that Smith, much like other rookies, had a lot on his mind already.
"I don't think there was a lot of information exchanged before his first start," said Black. "He was coming off a great run in Double-A. And you don't want to fill a young guy with too much information -- too much to analyze."
On Tuesday, though, Smith worked closely with Balsley and Blair. They watched the spin of his curveball and the action on his changeup. They talked about pitch sequencing and mechanics.
"It was big for him -- and Darren and Willie to see him in a normal side session. Today, they were able to see the pitches that he's going to have to use in Major League games," Black said. "Today was a good situation, fundamentally."
Cabrera, Padres excel at hitting with two outs
BALTIMORE -- The Padres' offense has generally been better since their 5-15 start, especially with two outs in an inning.
Entering Tuesday's game against the Orioles, the Padres have scored 30 of their last 52 runs with two outs, going back to the fifth inning of a game on April 30 against the Cubs.
In fact, the Padres scored five of their seven runs in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Rays with two outs.
"We've had a really nice run there, and it was noticeable during our streak of victories," said Padres manager Bud Black. "Now the trick is, we've got to sustain it."
Overall this season, the Padres are hitting .258 (108-for-418) with 18 doubles, two triples, 13 home runs, 62 RBIs, and a .740 OPS with two outs going into Tuesday's game.
Everth Cabrera leads the team with 15 hits with two outs. Chris Denorfia and Jedd Gyorko each have 13 two-out hits. Denorfia has hit .325 in 40 at-bats with two outs and posted a team-best eight RBIs.
In Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Orioles, the Padres scored two runs with two outs on singles by Denorfia and Cabrera, both during a frantic, ninth-inning comeback.
Thatcher successful against righties and lefties
BALTIMORE -- Relief pitcher Joe Thatcher fully understands and even embraces his role as a left-handed specialist, but there are times when he wouldn't mind a different title.
"I think I'm more than just a lefty specialist," Thatcher said.
In a relatively small sample-size this season, Thatcher has actually pitched more like a right-handed specialist -- with right-handers hitting .250 (6-for-24) and lefties hitting .350 (7-for-22) off him.
"I take pride in getting righties out, too," said Thatcher, who has a 1.69 ERA in 17 appearances. "My job is still to get lefties out, and I feel like when I've been brought in to face one, I've been able to do that. But a few hits are just falling in or sneaking through the infield."
Going into Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Thatcher had not allowed a run in his last 9 2/3 innings, and he held opponents scoreless in 16 of his 17 appearances this season. The only runs he allowed came on April 7 against the Rockies at Coors Field.
For his career, Thatcher has held lefties to a .217 average in 339 at-bats. Thatcher has fared relatively well when facing righties (.268 average in 430 at-bats).
Why so many righties?
"A lot of times, they bring me in to face a lefty, and the other team will bring in a righty," Thatcher said.
Short hops
• San Diego pitcher Clayton Richard, on the disabled list with an intestinal virus, will pitch on Thursday for the Padres' Triple-A affiliate, the Tucson Padres, in a game in Des Moines, Iowa. Richard is expected to throw between 75-90 pitches and feature new mechanics that have him pitching from a higher arm slot. He had a simulated game Saturday in St. Petersburg with good results.

The Russellville City Council made it official this past Thursday night: Be vewy, vewy quiet, as Elmer Fudd used to say when he was hunting Bugs Bunny - or it could cost you.
Alderman Phil Carruth was the only council member to vote against the city's new noise ordinance, sponsored by Alderman Robert Wiley.
The new law goes into effect Jan. 15.
Wiley noted after Alderman Ronnie Tripp mentioned a heavy trucks ordinance had not been enforced, "I want this to have some teeth and make sure it is enforced."
Wiley previously said he had been told by residents something needed to be done about vehicles with exceptionally loud stereo systems or other mechanical devices.
The ordinance prohibits "the creating of any unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise of such character, intensity or duration as to be detrimental to the life, health, safety, welfare, comfort or convenience of any individual, or in disturbance of the public peace, health, safety and welfare."
Persons who violate the ordinance can be found guilty of a misdemeanor and are subject to fines of no less than $250 or no more than $500, according to the ordinance. If such violations continue, each day's violation will be considered a separate incident by the appropriate court.
The Russellville Police Department and Code Enforcement Office have the power to enforce the ordinance and can issue citations.
The city's noise law declares the following acts as "loud, disturbing and unnecessary noises unlawful":
n Horns or signal devices on any automobile, motorcycle, motor scooter, moped, bus, truck or other vehicle while not in motion, except as a danger signal or if in motion and trying to come to a stop; creating such signal device of any unreasonably loud or harsh sound; and sounding such devices for an unnecessary and unreasonable period of time;
n Playing of any radio, stereo, TV, CD player, cassette player, DVD, VCR, phonograph, musical instrument, jukebox, amplification device, loudspeakers or other similar devices between 10 p.m. and 7 p.m. as to annoy or disturb the quietness, comfort or peace of persons in or around any office, hospital or in any dwelling, hotel or other type of residence;
n Yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling or singing on public streets, particularly between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. or at any time or place that would annoy or disturb anyone in any hospital, dwelling, hotel or any other type of residence, or of any person in the vicinity;
n Use of any automobile, motorcycle or vehicle so out of repair, so loaded or in such manner as to cause loud and unnecessary grating, grinding, rattling or other noise;
n To discharge exhaust of any steam engine, stationary internal combustion engine, motor vehicle or motor boat engine except through a muffler or other device that will prevent loud or explosive noises;
n Creation of any excessive noise on any street adjacent to any school, institution of learning, church or court while they are in session, or adjacent to any hospital that unreasonably interferes with work; provided, however, that in case of emergencies when public health, safety or general welfare is in danger, necessary work may be done. Where underground repair or construction work is necessary adjacent in the vicinity of a school, church or court, work should be done at reasonable hours to be designated by the director of Public Works;
n Creation of loud and excessive noise in connection with unloading or loading any vehicle or opening and destruction of bales, boxes, crates and containers;
n Use of any drum, loudspeaker or other instrument or device to attract attention by creating noise to any performance, show or sale or display of merchandise;
n Use of mechanical loudspeakers or amplifiers on trucks or other moving or standing vehicles for advertising;
n At any hour, use, operation or playing of any radio, stereo system, compact disc player, cassette tape player or any other device capable of sound amplification on (A) any motor vehicle located in any public right of way, public street or public property, at such a volume as to be plainly audible from a distance of 30 or more feet from that motor vehicle; or (B) any private property at such volume as to be plainly audible from a distance of 30 or more feet or more from that property boundary line;
n Production of sound from erection, excavation, construction, demolition, alteration or repair work, or permitting or causing any building or other structure or permitting tools or equipment used in any such activity between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., that the sound creates a noise disturbance that is plainly audible and disruptive across a residential or commercial property line.
The ordinance does not apply to:
n Any vehicle of the city, county, state or federal government while engaged in emergency or hazardous public business;
n excavations or repairs of bridges, streets or highways by the city, county or state when public welfare and convenience renders it impossible to perform such work during the day;
n reasonable use of amplifiers or loudspeakers during non-commercial public addresses;
n necessary warning signals from emergency vehicles; construction work between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. in areas declared by the city council to be disaster areas;
n Emergency assistance and warning calls;
n Municipal and school athletic facility activities on publicly-owned property and facilities; providing such activities have been authorized;
n Emission of any sound to alert persons of emergencies, danger or attempted crime, including automobile security alarms and emergency warning systems provided such alarms and systems are maintained and reset within 15 minutes of activation. This exception also applies to routine testing.
n Religious worship activities conducted in a permanent structure, including bells and organs.
n Locomotives and other railroad equipment, and aircraft.
n Fireworks displays within hours and conditions as imposed by a permit or as allowed by the city;
n Sound emission to alert people of emergencies;
n Sound produced by construction or repair of building or other structures, or operating any tools or equipment used in such activities conducted between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.
n Any lawful activity which constitutes protected expression pursuant to the First Amendment of the United States Constitution;
n Any sound generated from any public event sponsored or approved by the city, including parades, sporting events, activities in accredited public or private schools or other institutions of learning; community celebrations, fireworks displays or similar outdoor events, festivals or concerts and any activity held at the Pope County Fairgrounds.

Predicted winners, strong lead-ins, sharp drop-offs — the beginning of fall TV is always a season in flux. We start off with more new (and returning!) shows than we can squeeze into our DVR lineups, but as the season progresses, you realize that not everything lives up to the hype. (Shows including ABC's Lucky 7, NBC's Ironside and Welcome to the Family, and CBS' We Are Men have already gotten the axe.)
Let's take a look at some of the new shows that premiered with the strongest momentum and how they're faring now:
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: This fall's buzziest show co-created by Joss Whedon ranks as the No. 1 new show of the 2013-14 TV season among the 18-49 demo and has already been picked up for a full season. That said, the ratings have dipped each consecutive week, and it's clear that the show is losing some of its initial steam.
The Michael J. Fox Show: Hollywood's beloved Fox was welcomed back to the small screen with open arms–and mixed reviews for his new series, which is loosely based on his real-life struggles with Parkinson's and return the Hollywood. The ratings aren't great even with strong lead-ins like The Voice, but it doesn't even matter — NBC has already ordered a full season.
The Crazy Ones: CBS' father-daughter comedy starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar is the No. 1 new comedy series in viewers, adults 18-49 and adults 25-54, so it's no surprise that the network has given the green light to a full season pick up.
Super Fun Night: We had high hopes for Rebel Wilson's foray into American television with her sitcom about three girlfriends and their Friday night tradition, but after a strong premiere, the series is struggling as it continues to slip in ratings each week.
Hostages: After a major downward slump, CBS' drama about a family of hostages finally saw an uptick in viewers last week, but the fate of the series is still on thin ice given its limited-series order.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland: The Once Upon a Time spin-off seems to be sliding further and further down the ratings scale after an already unimpressive debut.
Sleepy Hollow: If there was a show to validate the power of DVR, it would be this fantasy crime procedural about Ichabod Crane in the modern day. The second episode of Fox series grew a whopping 71 percent in ratings, and the network has certainly taken notice. Sleepy Hollow has already been renewed for a second season.
The Originals: The CW spin-off of The Vampire Diaries has seen solid numbers since its October 3 debut and recently earned the network its strongest Tuesday night in four years.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Andy Samberg + Andre Braugher + cop humor = success. The series not only received a full season pick-up, it also earned the coveted post-Super Bowl TV spot for 2014 alongside New Girl.
Keep in mind, we still have a few weeks to go before we hit mid-season, so there's always a chance that a low-performing show turns it around in the ratings. In the meantime, head to the comments to tell us which new series you're still watching and which ones you've dropped.
What's been the biggest disappointment this TV season? How about the biggest surprise?

S&V: I Love You, Scarlet
The Short Form
|$2,600 ($3,199 list) / LGUSA.COM / 800-243-0000
|A very good picture and sexy styling add up to a solid recommendation for LG's new LCD
|• Accurate, natural color and lifelike highlights • Extensive picture adjustments and memory settings • Excellent standard-def processing • Cutting-edge styling
|• Remote isn't backlit and has no dedicated button for screen modes • Occasional artifacts from TruMotion processing
Key Features
|• 1,920 x 1,080p resolutionn • Four HDMI 1.3 Deep Color inputs • 1080p/24 compatibility • 120-Hz TruMotion processing • 10-point grayscale calibration • Inputs: 4 HDMI, 2 component-video, and 1 composite-video; RF antenna, VGA (plus PC audio in), USB, and RS-232 control • 45 1/2 x 34 1/4 x 17 in (with stand); 99 1/4 lb
As I checked out LG's 47LG60, a 47-inch 1080p-resolution LCD, I couldn't help but think of the old Zenith slogan (LG bought Zenith in the late '90s): "The quality goes in before the name goes on." There's plenty of innovation here, beginning with the styling. The sculpted-metal backside is painted in a high-gloss red (dubbed "Scarlet") that makes for a striking side view, while the swiveling stand is rimmed in the same red and topped with a chrome mirror finish. The front bezel is high-gloss black, and there's a clear plexiglass cutout below the screen with an etched LG logo, whose perimeter glows red and then white when you turn on the TV and is accompanied by a New Age ditty. Thankfully, the light and sound are defeatable, but it all makes an impressive statement.
The LG's input selection is reasonably generous. There are four HDMI 1.3 jacks (including one in the side-mounted convenience jackpack), though only one composite-video input. You also get a PC input and a USB port for a photo- or MP3-laden flash drive.
The slim remote lacks backlighting, but its mostly large and well-placed keys made it easy to find the important buttons in the dark. An AV Mode button lets you cycle through some of the picture modes on the fly, which is nice. But instead of having a dedicated button for changing screen modes, you have to use the Quick Menu button to bring up the appropriate menu. Screen modes include 16:9 (mild overscan), Just Scan (pixel-for-pixel), Zoom 1 and 2, and one that automatically selects a mode based on the program format.
The LG offers a wealth of picture presets, including two Expert modes that can be tweaked with advanced controls. The latter include some elaborate options for setting white balance or grayscale - the key element of an ISF calibration. A technician can set individual levels of red, green, and blue for each of the 10 brightness (or "IRE") levels typically applied during calibration, allowing for dead-on results (see Test Bench). The set also has individual saturation and tint for the primary and secondary colors, and Black Level and Gamma controls to deepen the blacks and bring out shadow details, respectively. (I left Black Level in its default Low position, and typically left Gamma in its default Medium setting.) Unusually, the LG allows all seven of the picture modes to be customized for every input. So, for example, you can tweak both the Cinema and Sports modes for your cable box without having any impact on how these modes look with other devices, and then use the remote's AV Mode button to switch between them on the fly.
After calibration, I experimented with the other advanced menu functions, deciding to keep the Fresh Contrast and Fresh Color auto modes off, and setting Noise Reduction at low or medium depending on the source material. The LG's 120-Hz TruMotion processing was mostly left off or on its Low setting.

NAG Technical Report TR 1/04
Calling NAG Library Routines from Java
Mick Pont
For someone needing to perform numerical computations, one approach is to create Java classes implementing the required functionality; a group who have made progress in this direction, partly by writing new code and partly by converting pre-existing code from other languages into Java, is the Numerics Working Group of the Java Grande Forum. The JavaNumerics web page [5] gives much useful information, including discussion of the difficulties of using Java for numerical computation due to constraints imposed by Java as it currently stands.
In this report, we use the alternative approach of calling the NAG Libraries directly from Java, thus evading the job of writing or rewriting code, and everything that that entails in the way of testing. Of course, since we propose to call the NAG Libraries, our application will no longer be portable in the sense that it would have been had it been exclusively written in Java, because now it will rely on the presence of a machine-dependent implementation of a NAG Library at run time. However, it will still be portable in the sense that the NAG Libraries are available on almost all commercially significant machines.
Apart from avoiding the need to first write Java versions of numerical routines, using the NAG Libraries has another advantage. Java has been designed to be portable; a compiled program will run on any machine which has an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine (VM). To accomplish this, the Java compiler does not compile to machine-dependent assembler, as do traditional languages such as C or C++, but to a machine-independent byte code. This byte code then gets interpreted at run time by the VM. Although the Java interpreter is efficient, it is clear that it would be hard for any interpreted program to run as fast as a program compiled to assembler code. For many applications this does not matter; but for applications that perform cpu-intensive operations on large amounts of data, it may be significant. By moving those operations out of Java and into the NAG Libraries, we may therefore hope to cut execution time.
In order to access the NAG Libraries from a Java program, we will
make use of the Java Native Interface.
At compile time, the JNI defines the way that Java data types correspond to C data types C programs get this information from JNI header files that come with the Java SDK. A tool, javah, that comes with the SDK, aids in creating application-specific header files which aim to eliminate mistakes in communication between Java and C routines.
At run time, the JNI allows the passing of Java objects to the C code, and allows the C code access to Java properties and methods. Thus, for example, the C code can set properties of Java classes, and it is possible to call a Java method from C.
During preparation of this report, we tested code on two machines
Working on UNIX platforms other than Sun/Solaris should be similar to Solaris; the main differences are likely to be in the location of Java include files, and the method of creating a shared object (dynamic library).
A good introduction to the Java Native Interface
can be found at the Sun Microsystems Java Tutorial web site
The interface library is required because when a native method (i.e. function or subroutine) is called from Java, extra arguments are prepended to the argument list of the native routine being called. These extra arguments give the native code access to Java methods and properties, but of course the NAG Libraries were not designed to handle these arguments. Furthermore, the types of the arguments passed from Java do not always correspond exactly to standard C or Fortran types, and so the NAG Libraries cannot use them directly. The interface library must handle these issues, make its own calls to the NAG Library, and then send the results back to Java.
Implementation of a call from Java to a NAG Library is a three-stage process
When the interface library has been built, the Java code
that uses it is still machine-independent even though the
interface library is not. Thus, we need to
build the interface library on all platforms that we are
interested in, but we do not have to edit or rebuild the Java code
that uses it.
|The simplest possible example: we call a function with only one return value the Y0 (x) Bessel function routine s17acc from the NAG C Library. No special code is required to handle the single return value.
|We call a function which returns an array of results the linear equation solver f04arc. Extra code is required to get data from Java to C and results back from C to Java.
|We call a function which requires a function as one of its arguments the quadrature routine d01ajc of the NAG C Library. We demonstrate how the C code can call back to a Java method to evaluate the function to be integrated. Also, we will see how the C code can pass results back to Java by modifying Java class properties.
|This example shows how to call the nonlinear minimization routine e04ucf of the NAG Fortran Library. We demonstrate how the C interface code needs to handle calls to Fortran and deal with callback routines from Fortran to C to Java. We also need to take account of the way Fortran stores two-dimensional arrays.
If you are interested in calling NAG Fortran routines
from Java, NAG supplies header files [7]
that can help to make it easier to call NAG Fortran 77 Library
routines from an interface library written in C.

Is the Mondo the right boat for me?
I am brand new to the forums and I am currently looking to purchase my first boat. After visiting a Mastercraft Dealership and talking about looking for a used X2, they brought the Moomba line to my attention since they also carry these in addition to the Mastercraft line. Since I was looking at the X2 they pointed me towards the Mondo and after going out for a demo, we loved the boat but I have to admit it will be my first boat so I wouldn't neccessarily know the difference.
We have 4 kids under the age of 7 and would like to get them into skiing and other water sports. I assume over the next few years we will mainly be teaching them to water ski. Both my wife and I only currently waterski and do it recreationally. We both have interest in wake surfing and I am assuming we will be doing that also. I am also assuming that our kids could potentially get into wakeboarding in the future. We are looking the "cross over" type boat so that we can ski, wakeboard and surf if we want however we will likely be mainly skiing for a while.
3 the features I like about the Mondo are...
1. Deeper hull which seems better for younger kids when they are sitting inside and I was told smoother in busier and bigger lakes.
2. Price in comparison to a new Mastercraft which I cannot afford.
3. Size - it will fit nicely into my garage.
After the boat demo on the lake, the thing I am most concerned about is the ski wake even with the wake plate optimized since we will likely be skiing the majority of the time. It seems rather large but since I am new to this maybe I am completely wrong. I understand that this is not a true direct drive and thus will not give the perfect ski wakes.
Am I looking at the wrong boat? I am curious to see what others think. Thanks for your help!
If your looking for a great crossover boat i think you've found it. Is it going to have the best ski wake... nope because only a direct drive will give that to you, for a boat that is garage friendly and has a deep hull i think its a perfect choice....
good luck with your search....2014 Mondo with da flow!!! Exile towers, stock everything else.... for now!
The Mondo could be a great boat for you. The first "plus" you listed, depth, and a quality ski wake are pretty much going to be considered an oxymoron. I have not seen the ski wake but to achieve the boat depth, I think you can assume the ski wake will not be optimal. The LSV might be better? It might be worth looking at if you find the ski wake worse than you are willing to accept. Again, I haven't seen either in person so I could be wrong.
Outback V would be considered the optimal "crossover" boat. From what I've heard, it's one of the few v-drives that holds a candle to a direct drive.
I could be wrong here but I have my doubts that you will be mainly skiing for a while. Where the watersports industry is right now ... best of luck trying to talk your kids out of a wakeboard and/or surfboard!!!
If you were considering a Mastercraft, you may want to consider looking at Supra also. The fit and finish on the new SA and SC are top notch ... big 3 or better top notch. The SC would be similar to the Mondo in size.2016 Moomba Mojo

I have seen the ski wake on the Mondo and it is as good or better than the LSV, not as good as the Outback V but still VERY good for a deep V-Drive. If you're looking for a good crossover boat then you're looking at the right boat. Wakeboard wake is clean at slow speeds for learning, deep hull for surfing, and a good ski wake for a V-drive.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your input. What you said makes sense.
I actually have an appt scheduled in a couple weeks to go in and select my final options for the Mondo but I wanted to make sure this was the right boat for me. I will take a look at the LSV and Outback to make sure the Mondo fits.
As far as Mastercraft/Supra goes, I realized they are probably out of my price range right now but maybe I could . The Moomba line makes more sense for me.
I agree that skiing could potentially be the least used and I have no problems with our kids wanting to do something else. I will not try to talk them out of that. I will just enjoy being out there with them.Jesse
2014 Mondo
I will say that I have only seen a Mondo in pictures and obviously never rode in one, but I just purchased my Outback V in July and just love it. I was coming from a completely different world (SeaRay I/O) and I find the OBV ski wake to be pretty good. Not great and certainly not as good as a DD, but significantly better than my old I/O. And the wake for wakeboarding and surfing is more than my 17 yr old son can handle at this point (not sure how long that will last, but good for now) so I really think the OBV is a great crossover.
Being a father of two teenagers who started boating about the ages of your kids, I can assure that they will definitely be attracted to wakeboarding and surfing VERY quickly. You may get them started on skis which is great, but they will want to do what their friends are doing and that most likely will NOT be skiiing.
One other benefit of the OBV is that it will also save you a few bucks to start making all the mods (i.e. added ballast, stereo/speakers, etc.) that you will no doubt want to start doing once you start reading more of this forum!!
Good luck in your search and you really can't go wrong with any of the boats in the Moomba line.Mike

already been stated across s few replies, but to wrap it all up: Outback V or Mondo are your choices
Outback V will offer the better ski wake and lower price point. Offset is older model & low freeboard
Mondo will offer better wakeboard & surf wake/wave, deep boat, NEW model. Offset is worse ski wake & higher price point.
Yeah, what he saidMike

For some reason I thought the Mondo was going to be a little shorter than the OBV, but I just looked at specs and the Outback V is only 20' so maybe that's not a concern. LSV is probably excluded due to being too long. My old Supra Launch at 20' 8" on the trailer (no swing tongue though) was about 6" too long for my garage, had to be put in at an angle.
I also agree with some of the other posters...even though you may ski most of the time (maybe not after buying a wake boat), I'm sure your kids will be more into boarding, surfing, and tubing than anything as most kids are! Neither are really going to have an optimal ski wake, so it's probably going to come down to which boat you like better.
Your #1 point about the freeboard and handling in rough water, in my opinion that would have not much weight on my decision if any at all. My son is 2 and no matter what kind of boat he's in he still can climb up on the back and try to jump out! You also aren't buying this boat to handle rough water, and really the shape of wake boat hulls isn't condusive to rough water anyway due to the hull being relatively flat towards the rear. I think the difference would be negligible. Maybe the Mondo would be less succeptable to going nose down into a wake, but good driving skills can always prevent that anyway (but sometimes you'll be behind the boat and your unexperienced buddy might be driving lol!).
If price is of concern, definitely consider the OBV (or a used boat). If price isn't much a concern, I would personally go with the Mondo just because it's the cool new model (and therefore probably higher resale value). Or I would also be looking at new Supras, but personally I think the bang for the buck is best with a Moomba.Boats previously owned - 2000 Supra Launch, 2003 Outback, 2006 Mobius LSV
based on what you are looking for, I'd say mondo all the way. the obv will have a far superior ski wake, but the mondo should outperform the obv on every other angle: size(width in cabin), depth, handling in chop, surf, wakeboard and as mentioned, it's a much newer model so if you decide to buy a supra in the near future, depreciation should be better.
I'd take the mondo over the x2 anyday just based on the depreciation factor alone. the x2 is a solid boat, but most I have seen have ranged in the upper 70's new fairly well equipped.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Questions Through the Eyes of White House Economists
The Economic Report of the President, compiled annually by the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, offers a mix of uplifting messages about the U.S. economy's prospects (U-S-A! U-S-A!) alongside a sobering analysis of the nation's persistent economic problems. It's a 410-page tome , worth its place on your nightstand regardless of the party occupying the White House. While you prepare to dig in, we've plucked five of the most interesting economic questions answered by the latest report. (You can find the CEA members' favorite charts in their own blog post.)
It's mostly about long-term unemployment (people jobless six months or more).
CEA: "The prevalence of persons unemployed for 26 weeks or less has returned to its pre-recession average (4.2 percent of the labor force in January 2014, same as the average from 2001 to 2007), but the long-term unemployment rate is more than twice what it was during the pre-crisis years (2.3 percent in January 2014 compared with 1.0 percent on average from 2001 to 2007). Reducing long-term unemployment presents a major challenge because these individuals may face stigmatization from employers or experience skill deterioration."
Income distribution can have a "profound" effect on poverty.
CEA: "Economic growth is an important determinant of poverty … as long as the gains are shared with those in the bottom of the income distribution. When growth fails to benefit the bottom, it cannot play a role in eradicating poverty. As such, the distribution of income can have a profound impact on the level of poverty. While the real economy grew at an annual rate of about 2.1 percent during the 1970s and 1980s, since 1980 economic growth has not produced the "rising tide" heralded by President Kennedy, as rising inequality left incomes at the bottom relatively unchanged. … Incomes in the top 20 percent of the income distribution rose dramatically until the 2000s and are about 50 percent higher today than in 1973. By contrast, real household incomes in the bottom 60 percent of the income distribution stagnated until the mid-1990s expansion, and today are little changed from the business cycle peak in 1973. A large group of poverty scholars have pointed to this rise in inequality as a leading explanation for the lack of progress in reducing poverty since 1980."
Yes, very much. Are they benefiting from it? Not so much.
CEA: "In the decades following World War II, productivity improvements translated relatively automatically into compensation increases for families across the income spectrum. But starting in the 1970s, inequality began its relentless rise and productivity growth became increasingly disconnected from compensation growth for typical families. The trends in inequality are related to the trends in productivity, as well as to other broad economic trends. Some of the technological changes over the past three decades, especially those related to information technology, have raised the relative reward to skills obtained through advanced academic study. Thus, the slowing growth of educational attainment both potentially slows innovation and increases inequality by raising the returns to the most highly educated workers. Although expanding the size of markets through globalization can help increase the productivity of the economy, it can also create challenges for inequality."
CEA: "Gasoline demand per capita rose through the early 2000s and plateaued in the mid-2000s before dropping substantially during the recession. As the economy has recovered, however, gasoline demand per capita has continued to fall. Some of this continued decline in gasoline demand stems from the relatively high real gasoline prices shown in Figure 2-21, but that is only a partial explanation. Increasing fuel efficiency brought about by Federal fuel efficiency standards also played a role; and, in 2012, the Administration finalized fuel economy standards that, together with the Administration's first round of standards, will nearly double the fuel economy of light-duty vehicles to the equivalent of 54.5 miles per gallon by the 2025 model year from 2010 levels. Further, beginning in model year 2014, medium- and heavy-duty trucks must meet new energy efficiency standards as well, which will increase their fuel efficiency by 10 to 20 percent by 2018."
It's unclear, but something is shifting under the surface.
CEA: "The 2007-09 recession and its aftermath have likely played some role in the recent slowdown in health costs, and this portion of the slowdown is likely to fade as the economic recovery continues. However, several pieces of evidence imply that the slowdown in health care cost growth is more than just an artifact of the 2007-09 recession: something has changed. The fact that the health cost slowdown has persisted even as the economy is recovering; the fact that it is reflected in health care prices, not just utilization; and, the fact that it has also shown up in Medicare, which is more insulated from economic trends, all imply that the current slowdown is the result of more than just the recession and its aftermath. Rather, much of the slowdown appears to reflect "structural" changes in the U.S. health care system, suggesting that at least part of this trend—although it is uncertain how much—is likely to persist."
