For at least three different families whose lives were irreversibly changed by the suicides of their young sons, last April was a tragic month in this country that starkly illustrated the dangerous consequences of an act that goes on at our schools, in our homes, and on the internet: bullying.
In response to these sad stories and sobering statistics, anti-bullying campaigns and intervention programs have sprung up all over the country, offering training and support to help adults intervene in bullying situations.
But there is a different kind of approach to addressing this ongoing crisis. The solution to America's bullying problem doesn't lie in adult mediation of incidents. Instead, we need to focus on prevention.
Suppose, in our families and schools, we began to train children to help each other…much like we train them to do anything else. Suppose we taught them that they were responsible for expecting the best out of each other, and they were expected to become both students and teachers in that learning process.
Children begin life naturally dominated by an inherent self-centeredness, self-gratification, and self-protection instincts.
However as they enter adolescence, they are ready for parents, mentors, and teachers to develop their deeper character.
Adolescents have not completed their emotional growth and, as a result, their self-confidence is shaky. They may easily become dominated by peer pressure, which feeds the desire to experience power, not just in the bully, but in those being bulled.
This approach is based on the Hyde School philosophy. It serves to ease adolescents through the "shaky period" of their emotional development, while promoting mutual support and accountability, resulting in an environment in which bullying could not thrive.
It creates what we call at our schools a positive peer culture, where students are actually looking out for the good rather than the flaws or weaknesses in one another.
A radical change such as this would prove very difficult at the outset; it takes strong adults to model it, but children would slowly come to recognize that their peers could be some of their most effective teachers, and that they in turn could significantly help others.
These efforts will develop the leadership potential in children, rather than leave them vulnerable to their more base instincts, which can lead to bullying.

Can anyone offer any tips and advice with the sub dungeon that unlocks Tikki Tooki. I do have the other 7 gods unlocked. I only need Tikki Tooki and Pactmaker to get all the gods. Can anyone tell me the best ways to kill monsters without taking damage. I don't have many quest items unlocked, but i have Elite items available in the shops.
Also, can the Tikki Tooki sub dungeon appear in any southern dungeon? I see it alot in the Hex Ruins, but never in the Southern Swamo. I want to find TT in Southern Swamp if I can.

FREEPORT - Longtime Arrowhead Conference rival Sauk Valley always seems to give Highland a battle, regardless of the Cougars' superiority.
Tuesday's conference clash was no different as Highland had to fight back late in the second half to stave off the Skyhawks' upset attempt and pull out an 83-75 men's basketball victory at home.
"We just survived," Highland coach Nathan Courtney said. "I'm really proud of the kids and their effort because we just survived. Sauk Valley did a fantastic job."
The Skyhawks (9-9, 1-3) held a 68-60 lead on the Cougars (13-5, 2-1) with six minutes remaining in the game. Then Highland turned it up a notch defensively, led by the play of James Boone and Luke Norman.
"When we were in the locker room (at halftime) I told them in the we have to bring a lot of energy in the second half defensively," Boone said. "We just played hard, got a lot of stops."
They didn't just get stops, they forced Sauk turnovers multiple times down the floor and turned them into points on the offensive end.
Norman's go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:34 remaining was part of a 15-2 Cougar run that put Highland back in front for good.
"That really kind of turned the tide," Courtney said of the Norman go-ahead 3. "James and Luke were huge the last three minutes. We started listening to the defensive game plan and we were able to guard them. Sauk Valley did a fantastic job but our kids just toughed it out. I'm really happy with these guys and how they stayed focused the last three minutes, executed offensively and defensively what we wanted done and we were able to walk out of here with a win."
Highland looked to be in control of the game with a 10-point lead eight minutes before halftime, but the Skyhawks managed to hang around and only trailed by six at the break. Early in the second half, it was Sauk that took control of the game as Highland struggled to get into a rhythm offensively, which had much to do with the Skyhawks' solid defensive effort.
"I give a lot of credit to Sauk Valley in the defense that they were playing," Courtney said. "They were mixing it up between a box and one and a triangle and two to a diamond and one, whatever they were doing it was one junk defensive possession after another."
Demarco Henry led the Cougars with 17 points and eight rebounds. Marvin Jones added 15 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, while Boone scored 12.
HCC women disappointing in blowout loss
The Cougars (6-7, 1-2) missed their first 10 shots of the game, but that was just the start of the bad things to come in a 64-31 loss to Sauk Valley. The Cougars made just 10 of 57 shots in a dreadful performance that left their coach understandably disappointed in his team.
"I have nothing good to say," Highland coach Chris Westlake said. "I want to first apologize to everybody that was sitting in this gym and saw that effort from our girls. It was the most pathetic performance I've ever seen from any team of any kind in any sport in my life."
Highland came out flat from the get go, and although the Skyhawks (13-3, 2-1) didn't play particularly well in the first half either, shooting only 28 percent and committing three more turnovers than the Cougars, they were still able to build a 15-point lead by halftime.
Sauk Valley was able to double that lead in the second half without much of a fight put forth by Highland, which has now lost four straight.
"We had three very, very poor performances on the road and they just didn't want to be there (tonight)," Westlake said. "When you get that sick feeling about yourself, you lose that confidence, you get discouraged and you play like this."
Marisha Moore was the lone Cougar in double figures with 17 points.

On Sunday I spent three hours with the Ministry Planning Team at Richmond's First Baptist Church. We were trying to draft a mission, vision, and values statement for the church, something we've been working on for a while.
We were stuck on the "mission" piece.
What is it that we, as a church, are trying to do? Are we trying to bring heaven to earth? Are we trying to make disciples of every nation? Are we trying to be Jesus' witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth? Are we trying to save people from eternal damnation?
We looked at mission statements from Coca-Cola ("To refresh the world, to inspire moments of happiness and optimism, to create value and make a difference") and Starbucks Coffee ("To inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time"). We talked about "aspiration" and wondered if our mission statement could be about something people really want, rather than just about something they ought to do. We thought we were getting close at one point, and then our conversation ricocheted off in another direction.
We've still got work to do.
But I woke up Monday morning thinking about our mission, and ended up writing the litany that's printed below. It's not our mission statement. It's just Jim's thoughts on a Monday morning. But I hope you will read it and let me know your thoughts. Does any part of it refresh you, or inspire you…or make you want a Coke? (smile).
Leader: Jesus taught his disciples to pray that God's Kingdom would come and God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
People: Richmond's First Baptist Church wants to be an answer to that prayer.
Leader: Jesus knew what a big job that would be. He told his followers to go, make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey all that he had commanded.
People: Let us never be content with making converts alone.
Leader: Jesus breathed on his disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit; as the Father has sent me, so I send you."
People: We are sent as Christ was sent to love the world God loves.
Leader: Let us go in the grace of God, the love of the Lord Jesus, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.

I always find the Predators an interesting study. Perpetually hampered by budgetary concerns, the duo of David Poile and Barry Trotz nevertheless consistently manage to squeeze blood from a stone and keep the club competitive. They may dwell in a realm between the elite and the underclass forever, but it's probably prefereable to the never-ending rebuilds other "less fortunate" franchises in the NHL seem to endlessly engage in *cough* Atlanta *cough*.
As usual, the Predators are somewhat thin up front and will be relying on Trotz's heavy bench management and a "score by committee" mentality to get by. Erstwhile Flame Matthew Lombardi leveraged a career year in Phoenix (irony!) to score a 3 year, 3.5M/year contract with NSH in the off-season. Unfortunately for the Preds, Lombo recently suffered a concussion, a condition not unfamiliar to him since the infamous Hatcher elbow during the Flames Stanley Cup run. Lombardi isn't the greatest player but he's good enough to be a concern for a club like NSH that needs all hands on deck.
He's certainly not the only weapon though. The Predators also have the emergent Patric Hornqvist, Colin Wilson, Martin Erat, JP Dumont (although Trotz had him skating 4th line minutes last year) and Steve Sullivan to get pucks to the net. The club also boasts a heavy-duty checking line featuring David Legwand, Marcel Goc and Joel Ward. Those guys face a lot of big guns every night, start out at the wrong end of the ice and still somehow manage not to be murdered. It's a good bet Iginla/Tanguay will see a heavy dose of Legwand et al tonight.
The Preds back-end is probably their strength, although depth is somewhat lacking there as well. She Weber and Ryan Suter anchor the point, with Shane O'Brien, Cody Franson, Fancis Boullion and Kevin Klein rounding things out. Aaron Johnson found his way to Nashville after the Oilers let him walk this summer, although he's currently playing in the AHL for Milwaukee. In net, The Preds continued their tradition of promoting an unknown guy only to see him challenge the incumbent recently. Prospect Anders Lindback filled in for an injured Pekka Rinne (who usurped Dan Ellis, who usurped Chris Mason, who usurped…well you get the idea) and won 2 out of the 4 games he appeared in, managing a .920 SV% all the while. Rinne is most certainly going to reclaim the starters role once he returns, but Lindback's noteworthy performance after being thrown into the fire makes things more…interesting in the Nashville crease going forward.
Anyways, The Flames and Predators always seem to have one bizarre barn-burner per season. Perhaps tonight will be this year's iteration.
PS – make sure to visit one of the best bloggers in the biz for a Nashville point of view.

Leading Edge #20: Choosing Your Takeoff
If a nonpilot asks you "How do you take off?" how would you answer? Line up with the runway, add power, accelerate to liftoff speed, raise the nose and go. But is it really as simple as that? Every year airplanes fail to get off wet or muddy runways, or to clear obstacles past the departure end. Every summer we hear of airplanes that can't get airborne or, if they make it into ground effect, don't have the power to climb any higher. The answer to "How do you take off?" is "I have to choose the technique to match the takeoff conditions." So how doyou choose your takeoff?
Rolling Takeoff, Or Power Up On The Brakes?
Do you stand on the brakes and power up, or do you prefer to add power smoothly, letting the airplane roll as you advance thrust? A rolling takeoff is less stressful on the airframe (and occupants). Although some pilots have a personal preference one way or another, there is no "correct" answer; what you do depends on the requirements of that takeoff. Try this experiment: On a calm-wind day, put an observer in the copilot seat. Line up with the runway centerline on a specific spot, such as the runway numbers. Add power for a "rolling" takeoff ... that is, let the airplane accelerate naturally as you advance the throttle. Accelerate until you lift off, having your observer count the number of runway stripes and spaces from power-up to liftoff. If the runway has standard markings, each stripe-and-space combination is 200 feet long. Regardless, fly the pattern and land, having recorded your estimated runway requirement for takeoff. Now repeat the experiment, except from your identified starting point power up while holding the brakes. As soon as you achieve full power release brakes (you'll need more rudder initially than a rolling takeoff, because low air flow over the rudder reduces its effectiveness at countering torque). Accelerate to the same takeoff speed, with your observer counting the runway stripes-and-spaces. Do this a few times each way to gauge the difference at a variety of weights and density-altitude conditions. What you may find in many airplanes is this: A rolling takeoff results in a longer takeoff roll. The heavier the airplane and/or higher the density altitude, the greater difference you're likely to see. So back to answering that nonpilot's question: If the objective is to get off a short runway, or to take off when you have a nearby obstacle, or when departing with a high-density altitude (you'll have to explain that to a nonpilot), you'll probably choose to make a "power up on the brakes" departure. Otherwise, you'll likely make a rolling takeoff to reduce stress on the airplane.
Flaps Or No Flaps?
Do you use flaps on takeoff, or not? The effect is going to vary widely by airplane type, so you'll need to do another experiment. (Getting to better know your airplane's flight characteristics ... what a good excuse for doing a little proficiency flying!) First, look for any limitations on flap use for takeoff in your airplane's flight manual or POH (not just Performance section recommendations -- I mean Section II, Limitations, which are imperatives). Repeat the rolling/braking experiment, but this time using a consistent technique (i.e., rolling) but with any flap settings that is not prohibited by the manufacturer. On each takeoff, call out when you're 50 feet agl (or, if it's easier to read, 100 agl) and have your observer note where you are over the ground when you make that call. Determine what flap position gets your airplane off the ground soonest and what gets you to the altitude goal (50 or 100 agl) in the shortest distance. Again, it will vary by type, weight and density altitude, but you might find that your airplane gets off the ground sooner with flaps, but takes a shorter distance to meet the altitude goal without them. If that's the way your airplane flies, your answer to that nonpilot might be, "If the runway is short but there's no obstacle, I'll use flaps, but if there's a power line or trees off the end of the runway, I'll take off with the flaps up."
Liftoff Speed
"How fast is your airplane when you take off?" your nonpilot friend inquires. As you may have already figured, the answer is again, "It depends." Depending on the vintage and complexity of your airplane, the manufacturer may have specified a takeoff speed. It will even vary with airplane weight in heavier aircraft. For your experiment, pick a technique (rolling or braked power-up) and a configuration (flap setting) and have your observer note takeoff distance and the point you reach your altitude goal when lifting off at the "book" speed. Next, repeat the trial but let the airplane lift off "when it's ready" (the heavier the airplane, the less wont it has to do this). Finally, consistent with the airplane's capability, try a couple "soft-field" takeoffs, lifting off into ground effect at a slower airspeed. See what effect different liftoff speeds have on runway distance and initial climb. Can you generalize your airplane's performance for the nonpilot, and your own choice of takeoff technique?
VX or VY?
Closely aligned with liftoff speed is the target speed for initial climb. If your goal is to climb steeply over an obstacle, use VX. It'll be listed in the POH, perhaps modified (and thinly disguised) as a recommended 50-foot target airspeed, adjusted for airplane weight, on the takeoff performance chart. Note that the airplane may have different published speeds for different takeoff flap positions. On some of your "experimental" takeoffs, find the attitude that results in VX speed passing over that mythical 50-ft obstacle and have your observer record the distance it takes to reach that height from rolling/braked, flaps/no flaps conditions. Do the same at VY speed passing 50 agl. What you'll likely tell your nonpilot inquisitor is, "I will begin my climb at VY unless I have to clear a close-in obstacle, in which case I'll climb at VX. But wait: You may want to climb out even faster than that. If engine cooling is an issue, or in multiengine airplanes where speed is your best defense against loss of control in the event of an engine failure, you may want to climb out at an even shallower angle and higher airspeed if obstacles permit. Figure a few of these faster initial climbs into your exercise and see how much distance it takes to get to 100 agl. You may tell that nonpilot you'll normally climb out even faster than "book" unless conditions dictate otherwise. That's powerful information to know as you choose your takeoff technique on any given day.
Mixture Technique
Chances are your nonpilot friend won't think to ask you about fuel-mixture technique. But you need to make a conscious decision about it. Mixture technique for high density-altitudes is a common topic in aviation publications (see "Hot and High How-To" in the July 2008 issue of our sister publication Aviation Safety). Yet it's obvious from the summertime mishap reports that the lesson needs to be reviewed each time the weather begins to warm. The trend in more powerful engines is to crank up the fuel flows to their maximum to provide additional cooling at high power settings. This is especially true with turbocharged engines. The high flow rates now in vogue serve their purpose, but they may inhibit takeoff performance by creating too rich a fuel-air mixture. In hot weather (with a long runway), experiment with full rich and leaned mixture, measuring their effect on takeoff roll and the distance required to get 50 or 100 feet into the air. You may find to clear an obstacle, especially at a high density-altitude, you need to sacrifice a little long-term engine cooling (full rich mixture) for short-term performance (leaned for maximum horsepower). Afterward, if your nonpilot friend doesask you about mixture technique for takeoff, you might reply, "I use full rich except as need for takeoff performance, and if so, then I enrichen the mixture as necessary for engine cooling after transitioning to en route climb."
Choosing Your Takeoff
Planning, flying and interpreting these experiments would make a great instructional session. Combined with the required ground instruction and with a CFI as your observer, it could be a very informative flight review (see last month's Leading Edge column). Use a long runway so maximum performance isn't required for safety; adhere to all airplane and engine limitations. Airplane weight and density altitude will greatly affect performance, so be careful that you generalize only for a given set of conditions. Fly extremely conservatively when outside your area of experience. By thinking about how you'd answer that simple nonpilot's question, "How do you take off?" you'll ask yourself what technique you should use every time you choose your takeoff. Fly safe, and have fun!

Rainy Woods delayed until 2009 at least due to Twin Peaks similarity
When we first saw Rainy Woods back in September 2007 at TGS, we said what everyone else was thinking.
It's Twin Peaks, the game...
Well, that similarity has now led the developers of Rainy Woods to completely re-code the game, and as a result the title has been pushed back to "mid to late 2009, maybe even 2010" according to a representative of Rising Star Games.
The resulting Rainy Woods is expected to still feature the 'Silent Hill-esque' gameplay we saw in the original trailer, just without the red curtains, midgets, log carrying locals and FBI agents who love their coffee a little too much.
Here's the original trailer from TGS 2007:

Sweet Karma was one of hundreds of pit bull type dogs facing a grim fate at a Los Angeles County Shelter. Tiny Winston was an emaciated stray kitty doing his best to survive on the streets.Both their fortunes turned around after being rescued by CARE (Cat/Canine Assistance, Referral & Education) Sanctuary in Littlerock, CA in 2017.
After several weeks at the veterinarian to treat upper respiratory infection, followed by a few weeks at CARE, Karma was adopted and today enjoys life as a member of a loving family. Winston, who was diagnosed with feline leukemia (FeLV – Feline Leukemia Virus), recovered in a special CARE room where cats like him receive lifetime care if not adopted. Luckily for Winston, he found a home with another FeLV cat.
More pets like Karma and Winston will soon have a new lease on life, thanks to a major expansion underway at the CARE sanctuary. Currently home to 300 dogs and cats, the new buildings, currently under construction, will increase the shelter capacity from the current level to 600 or more.
"We are so excited to be able to double our lifesaving capabilities, as well as clear space at the shelters where the majority of our pets come from," said Maria Porter, Sanctuary Manager at CARE Sanctuary. "The expansion is going to make a very positive impact for homeless pets in Los Angeles."
Founded in 1992 and funded entirely by private donations, CARE has rescued, re-homed or provided a lifelong safe haven for thousands of abandoned, abused, and neglected pets since its inception. Cats and dogs at CARE come from high-kill animal control facilities, as well as from rescue groups and individuals on a case-by-case basis.
CARE only euthanizes in cases of terminal illness, while hard to place animals (aggressive dogs, unsocialized cats, elderly or disabled pets) spend their entire lives at the sanctuary, were they receive lifelong care.
"The support of our community is what allows CARE to save so many lives. We encourage animal lovers to help us save as many pets as possible by donating, volunteering, or adopting," said Mary Zupan, President of CARE. "It's only by working together that we can get Los Angeles to become a no-kill city and a model for the rest of the country."
CARE is accepting donations for its facility expansion at and . CARE's PayPal account is . All donations are tax deductible. Donations can also be sent to P.O. Box 56631, Sherman Oaks, CA 91413. CARE's adoptable dogs and cats can be viewed on .

Junior Research Groups
Junior Research Groups were set up for the first time at the Robert Koch Institute in 1999. They are oriented towards the research tasks of the Institute. For the Robert Koch Institute they represent a possibility to react flexibly to current topics. With the Junior Research Groups additional prerequisites have been created for the employment of PhD students at the Robert Koch Institute. They also offer young scientists an opportunity to set up their own working groups.
The Junior Research Groups are to cooperate in their scientific work with the Departments and Project Groups at the Robert Koch Institute. The topics of the Groups established so far have been selected accordingly. The research activities are subject to internal control by the Research Council of the Robert Koch Institute and the topics are defined in coordination with the Scientific Advisory Board of the Robert Koch Institute.
At present there are two Junior Research Groups. They are headed by a scientist in charge and elect a new spokesperson every year. The projects are limited to a period of five years.

Troy Lee Designs' UK distributors Fisher Outdoor Leisure stopped by our office this week to drop off some key 2012 pieces for testing.
On the helmet front, there's still no sign of TLD's long-rumoured trail lid but the classic D2 and much-lusted-after D3 carry over for 2012. They're available in some eye-catching new designs, including the D2 Composite Voodoo with its glittery skull, roses and spider's web motif.
We particularly like the D3 Carbon Pinstripe Blue, which looks black from a distance but is actually a lustrous deep blue. RRPs start at £199.99 for the D2 Composite, £344.99 for the D3 Composite and £425.99 for the D3 Carbon.
It's not often a helmet can be described as a thing of beauty, but TLD's new D3 Carbon Pinstripe Blue is a cracker
There's plenty of Troy Lee's trademark moto-style racewear to go with the helmets – the Medusa GP kit is particularly lairy, with massive skulls on the chest and knees. RRP is £49.99 for the jersey and £119.99 for the pants. At the other end of the scale, there's the classic-looking Super Retro jersey.
The Sprint range covers the gamut of 'gravity' riding, from downhill racing and freeriding to enduro/all-mountain. As well as classic black and white colourways, the kit is also available in yellow/blue/black and orange/white/blue shown. RRP is £54.99 for the jersey and £69.99 for the shorts.
Go gory for glory – this is TLD's 2012 Medusa GP race kit
We checked out the new cross-country/trail orientated Skyline jersey and Ace shorts (£49.99 and £84.99, respectively) at the Cycle Show in Birmingham earlier this month, along with TLD's new lightweight Shock Doctor body armour. Samples are now on their way to our testers.
Also on show at the NEC were the Ruckus jersey and Moto, with their lairy fluorescent yellow and blue colour scheme – just the thing for extroverts and photo shoots. RRP is £54.99 for the jersey and £79.99 for the shorts, which are also available in a white women's version.
Bring the Ruckus in flo yellow
On the glove side of things, it's again mainly a case of new colours. Prices range from £22.50 for the lightweight Ace to £44.99 for the heavy-duty GP Moto. Troy Lee have loads of casual clothing too, including a range of Steve McQueen T-shirts, jackets and pullovers. Check out www.troyleedesigns.com for details and our image gallery for more pics.

Best ~110L freeride board for wind range and heavy chop (?)

You've already made the choice but since I'm also in the process of deciding what ~110l board to choose, here are my thoughts:
I almost always sail in severe chop. Contrary to Pirireis above I've found wide slaloms such as Mantas or Isonics not really to my liking in these conditions (extreme outboards straps and too fast in general).
I've tested several boards recently: Tabou Rocket 115, Carve 111, F2 Stoke 105 and Fanatic Hawk 108 (2008 model). None of them I would describe as bad, but I liked Hawk the best by far. It is a bit narrower for its volume than newer boards, not the earliest planer, but exciting/lively ride through chop. Excellent comfortable deck shape. Absolutely screaming gybes if you get it right but not very forgiving (stops carving) if you're clumsy. A Tabou is very fast and concave bottom is comfortable in chop, it is wide and stable and directional slalom-like ride (compared to hawk).
In my case this board will be used with 6.0-7.5 sails, powered, not marginal (I'm 85kg). I think in overpowered 5.2 conditions, your 85l is a much better choice anyway, unless the wind is extremely holey.

Four remarkably unremarkable boards in the last test for me were the Exocet Cross III 114, JP Ride 106, RRD Fire Move 110 and the Star-Board Carve 111. They had subtle rides that only became noticeably great when you could just stay lit up and comfortable as the wind came up. They were great with lotsa wind without the expense of early planing bottom configurations that sap pumping to plane. Also, the RRD FM 110 was 75 cm wide! So much for the "wide can be rough and hard to handle in chop" dogma I've heard people say over the years. Add this board to a long list over the years that defies that mantra.
I've been sailing the Cross 114, 69 cm wide, these past couple of dayz in some seriously lit up conditions for either a 6.8, yesterday, or the 5.8, today at Kelly Park where Calema has their shop. "Smooth as budda," is how one guy who demo'ed it said today. I just carved thru any choppy section I wanted with no reservations, jibing at will anywhere and everywhere.

Post subject: Waterstart model or not ?
Hi !
I was wondering if any of the model you listed in your first post do require waterstarting skills?
My weight is 85 kg, so based on what I have read (minimum board volume in liters = your weight + 25; in my case 111 liters), it should be possible to use these boards without knowing how to waterstart, especially if the conditions are good (for instance, artificial lagoon with flat water).
So does anyone with a weight of 86 kg is able to sail on these boards without waterstarting?

@ 86 kg, I
uphaul 110 liters, but I wouldn't
to. One can learn to waterstart in a few hours with a lesson or a video, so I wouldn't buy a board based on just that. OTOH, on really flat water, there's no need for a board that small; may as well go for 125 or 140 for more versatility. The advantages of smaller or narrower boards -- primarily maneuverability and ride comfort -- are minimal to none on flat water.

I weigh 68 kilos and can uphaul on an 85 litre wave board, plenty of flotation for me, but it is not easy. Learning to waterstart is realy not that hard, and once you get it down makes life so much easier. I agree with isobars on using a bigger board if youy are sailing in flat water, and gusty winds. The extra volume and width of a bigger board mainly works against you in very rough, choppy conditions. I think isobars meant uphaul on a 110L board. I would much rather waterstart than uphaul. Check out the videos at the top of the page, I bet you can find one on waterstarting.

Flotation and ability to uphaul is important for even the advanced sailors at times. While water starting is easy once learned, it's impossible in no wind.
Puffy conditions, dying winds and wind shadows generally require a board that can be uphauled even though the wind may be gusting over 20 knots.
I have an 80 liter sinker, but I only use it when conditions won't quit on me or there is NO wind shadow.
Most of the time, even in 5.0 and 4.5 conditions, I have a 105 liter board that is easy to uphaul and does pretty well even in 25+ knots. I weight 77 kg.
Many of us find that the extra floatation makes life much more pleasant at times.

The RRD FireMoves were designed to do well in chop so I wouldn't be concerned about that. RRD makes some of smoothest riding boards in pretty much every board category. To quote Boardseeker: "that smooth, soft and almost luxurious feel thats becoming a trademark of RRD boards".
If you're looking for even more top end than the FireMove then consider the new FireStorm 111. I debated sending that one to the test but ended up going with the FireStorm instead. From the feedback I've gotten it seems to have been a good call. The FireStorm has the rocker of the X-Fire but is designed to be more relaxing the ride and easier to control.
The FireStorm was just added to the RRD website:
The FireMove is so new that it's not on the website yet so if you're looking for more info on these boards, check out this pdf:
Or have a look at this video of Roberto talking about the board:
For ultimate versatility you still can't beat the Freestyle Wave 111 though. Fun freeride board, over-szied freestyle board or light wind wave board all in one. If you get in to waves at all, consider this one.
Lots of good boards to consider but give these 3 a look.

Just came here to lurk, but noticed this old post of mine back up on page one, and realized I never posted follow-up, so here goes....
The Tabou Rocket 115 has been treating me great! More precisely,
for my specific needs
, it's been a fantastic fit.
THE CONS FIRST: It does, as jingebritsen and others warned, not pump to plane well. It's an interesting sensation when it's just on the edge of being powered, and it's occasionally a little frustrating when there's just enough wind to plane, but not enough wind to GET planing. The board definitely gets planing when it's ready, and no amount of pumping or coaxing seems to change that. BUT, the wind where I sail is so inconsistent anyway that I tend to rig for the lulls, and its usually not long before a gust comes around. And "not pumping to plane well" shouldn't be confused with not planing up early. Compared to my similarly sized buds on similar sized gear, I tend to be planing a bit more than they in marginal conditions. Part of that is ability to coat through holes (which I think the Rocket does quite well), but part is I think that the board actually does plane up fairly early, but does so only on its own terms, and doesn't respond at all well to pumping. That's my sense. YMMV.
In every respect other than not pumping to plane well, this board has been fantastic. The biggest thing for me is its range. It's a great fit with my 7.0 with the stock 38cm fin, right through (surprisingly) to my 4.5 with a 28cm fin! I expected it to be good with 7.0, 6.0, maybe 5.2, but was blown away by how good it felt with the 4.5 fully cranked. For me this is crucial because where I sail most I need a board with enough float to get me through quite a large wind shadow and out to decent breeze; I simply can't get out there and back on a sinker, no matter how screamin' the wind is once I hit that line. So something this floaty, that still handles powered-up 4.5 conditions in heavy chop well, that's an amazing board for me! It's incredibly comfortable and user-friendly across a very broad range of conditions. I'm a big fan.
Oh, and did I mention? It's fast! I tend not to lose drag races with my buds, and that's both in fully lit-up conditions and when we're all just barely planing, and everything inbetween. Not that any of us is any pro-level sailor, but we're pretty comparably skilled, and I think a big feature of the Rocket is that it brings
performance to those of us with less than rockstar skills. I feel like a better sailor on it than maybe I actually am. And that's OK in my book.

Have you ever tried just knee-jerking the entire hull clear of the water to break the surface tension, then setting it back down planing? It's quicker than pumping, and quite effective when alllllmost planing. You just use the slightest little bump on the water or jam the aft end down to lift the nose ever so slightly, and knee-jerk your strapped-in feet up to lift the aft 2/3 of the board clear by just inches, then set the board down flat, with forward gusto, and you're planing. It works with anything from sinkers to longboards. Don't overthink it, just do it on autopilot. No guarantees, but it quite often gets you planing if you were close.

Bound in rich red full leather with gilt decoration on spine and front cover, four raised bands on spine, archival quality paper - Golden Tan Moire Silk end papers and Golden Tan Satin ribbon book mark, gilt all edges.

Hehe that's why I asked in the first place. No one answered.
I read 2-3 a LOOOOOOONG time ago. Back when ADV was profitable.
So Patricia was with him the first time, I'd better go back and watch the anime at least.
Oh I thought Marco knew the link, I just thought he doesn't mix work and pleasure. But since they are different people , owells. That darn Hilshire/Hartmann thing threw me off.

The announcement of the new anime adaptation/continuation got me into the series again so I did some sort of character assessment for the first-stage cyborgs because I had nothing better to do (while procrastinating).

I was under the impression that Elsa's conditioning was pretty severe as well, while Henrietta's was low, just that how their relationship, as in the handler's training/raising of their cyborgs along with the cyborg's inherent nature that wasn't completely overtaken by the conditioning enacted different effects.

Either that or she's really just emotional.
Elsa's a bit harder to figure out though due to her lack of screen time. Lauro considered her as nothing more than a tool so it's possible that her conditioning was pretty high compared to the other girls. However, it's rather baffling when you put her beside the only other extreme case that we know of since Rico's almost her exact opposite. Given that each girl has a unique history prior to the implants, perhaps the process of creating a cyborg only erases the memory but leaves part of the initial personality intact, hence the different behaviors.

I've never been able to find this manga, which disappointed me because I loved the anime.
Hopefully the second season will be more epic, and yeah, if I care enough I can look over the *where to buy manga* topic.

IMO, Rico never been brainwashed since the first time. Jean use power (scolding)insteadt of drug to Conditioned her, since he realized that drug will shorten her lifespan (a good side of him)
btw, did the raw for volume 9 is out? Just asking, Im not asking for source

Rico details her entire past in first-person perspective in v01c02, but all the other girls have their past told in the handler's perspective.
Also, it doesn't seem like the conditioning drug is only used for the initial brainwashing procedure; seems more like it has to be used somewhat regularly, since Angelica is shown getting withdrawal symptoms.
Raws for volume 9 are out as well.

Just about everyone's featured in this volume, and amazingly enough, everyone gets "touching" moments with their handlers, even Jean/Rico (somewhat). And in Petrushka's case, too touching . Alessandro has definitely gotten too attached to his cyborg.
Spoiler for volume 9, just character appearances, no real story spoilers:
All in all though, a pretty good volume, and a lot more interesting than the last two, with the undue focus on Petra...

Whoops, let me rephrase that. Most everyone, except Claes . She actually doesn't appear much this chapter, but she is there in 3 or 4 scenes. In a shower room with Triela, no less , and basically the next scene has Hilshire inspecting Triela's thighs very closely . Of course, I'm taking that a bit out of context . Awkward moments galore in this volume, what with
I read it raw. I don't think anyone works on English scanlations, considering it's licensed in the US.
Two days to second season!

Anyhow, I always saw Henrietta's devotion to Jose as a genuine response to his temperament; a mix of her underlying personality (I think the girls retained their distinctive personalities, even after they lost their memories--in Henrietta's case, she's shy, craving affection, and loving--as opposed to the strong-willed Triela), his treatment of her, and the larger situation both of them are in. In Henrietta's case, I think the external factor that intensifies Henrietta's attachment to Jose is not the conditioning, but the fact that Jose actually treats her like his sister, when none of the other girls receive such treatment. Also, for whatever reason, Jose seems to be able to read Henrietta's emotions almost perfectly; this goes beyond just being "nice." For example, after the opening raid, it's clear he's annoyed at Henrietta for her going beserk. He's counseled by his colleagues to be more stern in his treatment of her. He then proceeds to ignore them, knowing that Henrietta is far harsher on herself than anyone else could be, and gives her the pick-me-up she needs. He does this, even when he's still being somewhat standoffish with her at the beginning of their pairing, perhaps out of lingering loyalty to his dead sister (cf. the chapter where Jose discards some of his reserve, and pinches her cheek).
Combined with Henrietta's own underlying desire for affection, the obvious comparison of her treatment with the others only intensifies her feelings for Jose, which helps lead to the irrational jealousy, and the uncontrolled protectiveness. You'll notice, though, that Henrietta seems much more in control of her emotions as time goes on. All the incidents you cite are pretty early on. In contrast, I think it's vol. 3 or 4 when the doc praises Jose for stabilizing Henrietta's mental state, even as she seems to become even more devoted (if that's possible) to Jose. By that time, she truly seems to be able to do her job at work, not lose control, and then come back home and "cook," to use the doctor's previous analogy. IIRC, in the second visit, there's also no obsessive body count to try to prove her "usefulness" to Jose, which had come up in the first doctor's visit--she herself seems to realize over time that that isn't what Jose wants her to be like. The irony is that at this later point Jose seems to grow weary of reciprocating her devotion, and the doctor needs to give him a pep talk. The memory of his sister also seems to help sustain his affection, which I actually think is genuine (even if he himself doubts that at times).
I think it's a singular (and meaningful) irony of the series that perhaps the most intense affection held by a girls for a fratello (I should say I haven't read the new Russian girl's arc) is the one least influenced by the conditioning; the real source is something more akin to the younger sister who worships her benevolent and seemingly all-knowing older brother, who treats her like a princess in a world filled with death, violence, and suffering. After all, in the flashbacks up to vol. 6 I've seen, Jose's real biological sister also seems to have been absurdly devoted to her big brother--and she also seems to have felt neglected by the other family members.
I actually wonder if the Jose/Henrietta pair has been sort-of developed as far as it can go, barring a catastrophic event like a death, which would explain why it's been getting less attention as far as I can tell in the manga. We've already seen a fair number of flashbacks of Jose's previous younger sister, so the complexities of the situation on his end have been fleshed out. While Henrietta's devotion to Jose seems relatively straightforward, his motivations are hideously complex--a mix of sympathy, pity, obligation, guilt, the desire to replace his sister, and, IMO, genuine concern and affection--yes, indeed, love--for Henrietta the human being. We've already seen much of that, in his flashbacks, moments of self-criticism, and Jean's "conversation" with his sister's ghost. As for Henrietta, is she going to become even *more* devoted to Jose? Is that even possible? The addition of a "romantic" element seems unlikely to me (thankfully, because I would find it really creepy), because it's pretty clear that Jose *does not* think of Henrietta that way (the kaleidoscope raised an eyebrow, but all the flashbacks to his sister count against that). And while Henrietta might very well have become another Elsa (i.e. crazed jilted lover syndrome) if Jose had been like Lauro, Jose isn't, and I think Henrietta is more than content with their purely brother/sister relationship, assuming, of course, that she was the exclusive focus of his life. Which she is. So maybe the only plot development that could scramble things is Jose getting a girlfriend, but that, again, seems to be unlikely, because, as far as I can tell, Henrietta is as much at the center of Jose's universe, as he is for her.
For me, that's perhaps the most compelling part of the series; how you could have such a connection between two people, but in such an unforgiving, cruel, and hateful environment.
But that's just my opinion...

Anyway, for those that don't know, Gunslinger Girl was originally a doujin manga called "Gun Slinger Girl". There are five short chapters (Rico's the main character, with Henrietta nowhere to be seen), and a whole lot of design sketches and info. There's also an 18+ gaiden chapter, which is rather interesting plot-wise, but the H content feels really tacked on. I don't believe I've ever even seen this mentioned in the English fandom before, so I might be interested in doing scanlations, if I can find some people to help out. The art in the first three chapters is very very amateur, but it might be interesting for some people to see how GSG started out.

At Sundown 2011, I'd recorded a personal best timing in the 21 km category. I must admit that this would have been impossible if not for the wider roads (as compared to Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2010 at Sentosa) and the relatively flat route. The Deaf One's sound advice on pacing was a great help too.
My last meal before the run was a pack of mixed rice (with sweet and sour pork, and some greens) at 3 pm to carbo-load ahead of the 8 pm run. By the time I'd crossed the finish line, I was famished. The smiling attendants handed each finisher a medal, a can of 100 Plus, a bottle of mineral water and a banana. It was one of the tastiest bananas I'd ever eaten - the usual Del Monte-sized kind that you can get anywhere, only sweetened with a sense of accomplishment and pride. One banana was obviously insufficient. Not five, even. Then came the announcement of free candy floss and popcorn for all runners. I opted for the popcorn, despite the queue. It was very, very good. How good? Popcorn good - crunchy, caramel sweet, buttery, aromatic. It puts those soft, overpriced cinema ones to shame. I'm inclined to place Garrett's next to the cinemas' but I've only had it once, so....anyway, Sundown 2011's popcorn rocked.
Post race activities were aplenty, mostly involved food, naturally. I liked the performing bands that night too and must have stayed for a good 5 songs before boarding the shuttle bus back home, which was delayed for 30 mins. Traffic was congested as half marathoners began departing from the venue. Had I known earlier, I would have just chilled and stayed to watch the most talked-about (and unfortunate) match between Barça and the Red Devils.
I reached home around 1 am, did my laundry and decided to have a quiet celebration of my achievement with a bowl of Prime Taste la mian laksa endorsed by Olivia Ong. I'm not much of a laksa (or Olivia Ong) fan but this is one of the very few instant noodles that's sold in individual packs (no more buying in bulk as I'm trying to reduce my instant noodle intake) and inexpensive. Predictably bland, I added whatever I could find in the fridge - a bag of coriander and an egg. They were definitely not taste enhancers but at least the stomach's filled at 4 am.

Last summer, when looking for a potential fleet for one of our Green Fleet of the Month profiles, I came across a San Francisco-based organic produce company called Veritable Vegetable (VV). What I initially read about the fleet did not come as any great surprise, nor did it immediately strike me as the "ideal" fleet for a Green Fleet of the Month profile.
(For those who do not read Fleet Owner in print, our monthly Green Fleet profile focuses on the actions/strategies one fleet is employing to be more environmentally friendly, reduce waste and energy, and save on fuel - and if you have a suggestion for a fleet, please feel free to email me at [email protected] – we're always looking for good candidates.)
Veritable was purchasing four Kenworth hybrid trucks. OK, I said to myself, many fleets are using hybrid trucks, what makes this fleet so special? Well, it turns out that hybrid trucks are just the beginning of what VV does.
(Photo gallery: Veritable Vegetable)
To say Veritable Vegetable leaves no stone unturned in its environmental responsibility quest would be minimizing what this fleet does. Whether it's hybrid trucks and refrigeration units, or trailer skirts and wheel covers. Whether it's automatic transmissions, reusable pallet wrap or pallets, and even solar panels on the roof of a distribution center, if it's on the market and might make a difference in its environmental footprint, Veritable Vegetable has probably researched it.
But what makes this company so special is its size. This is not a 2,000-truck operation, but rather a 24-truck outfit. It's proof positive that size does not matter.
"We put our financial resources towards these kinds of things," Chris Adams, the company's transportation manager, told me. "We're not a public company, we don't have to answer to shareholders. We want to return the highest price we can to the grower" and the best way to do that is to operate efficiently."
In fact, CEO Mary Jane Evans said the truck fleet is an integral part of the company's success. "We are embracing the truck fleet and trying to educate people on how important it is in moving the food," said Evans.
For all that it's accomplished, Veritable Vegetable was named the Fleet Owner Green Fleet of the Year, a yearly award presented by the editors of Fleet Owner and sponsored by WIX Filters.

I love mother of pearl buttons. Over the years, as I was searching for samples, I began to learn the fascinating story of their rise to popularity and the uniquely American slant to their success. I thought I would share that with you today.
Examples from my book Button Ware
For centuries, since buttons first made their appearance in ancient Persia as merely decorative additions (remember, buttonholes and the functionality of buttoning an item of clothing did not appear until the 12th century), there has always been a calling for something shiny to adorn our clothes. However, mother of pearl – along with precious metals, bone and animal horns – was extremely rare, expensive to obtain and reserved for royalty.
It was not until a German-born button maker, John Fredrick Boepple, immigrated to the United States did mother of pearl buttons rise to popularity and became available to the masses. You see, even though automation had come to the button making process in Europe in the mid 1800s, the process of stamping them from shells required specialized and expensive machinery. As well, the shells Boepple used had to be imported and were subject to an extremely high tariff. With his business failing, John Boepple brought his button stamping machinery to the one place he was sure could supply him an endless supply of shells – the United States and the Mississippi River.
Muscatine History and Industry Center, Button Factory Workers, John Boepple and his button stamping machine
Boepple settled in Muscatine, Iowa at a bend in the river where great amounts of fresh-water clams grew. Thanks to the mighty Mississippi, his mother of pearl button business grew beyond his wildest dreams. By 1900, Boepple expanded his operations to the point that he employed one third of the town of Muscatine, which became known as "Pearl City" and the "Pearl Button Capital of the World," out-pacing button factories in Europe. The export value of mother of pearl buttons at the turn of the century was well over $3.5 million dollars…quite a sum for the time.
As I briefly mentioned earlier, one of my many collecting 'obsessions' is buttons, including those made of mother of pearl. Many in my collection come from Wisconsin Pearl Buttons in Lacrosse, WI.
Taking nearly 6600 tons of clams from the mighty Mississippi, the Wisconsin factory churned out millions of pearl buttons during its heyday. After the buttons were made, they were distributed to homes in the city, where women and children sewed them onto a card, receiving a penny for each finished card they produced. I really love the variety and creativity used in the card designs themselves.
Sadly, the mother of pearl button business eventually left Lacrosse and Muscatine due to the construction of up-river locks and dams, the over-harvesting of clams, and the explosive growth of plastic button manufacturing. However, if you keep you eyes open, you can still find beautiful mother of pearl buttons, mounted on cards, ready to add to your own collection.
I want to fuel someone else's obsession with buttons by giving away the six mother of pearls button cards featured in the picture above. All you have to do is leave us a comment, tell us a mother of pearl story (buttons, jewelry, etc)…and we'll draw a winner from all of those who comment.
As always, thanks for letting me share a little bit of my love of vintage.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Jonathan Irwin reports on the 2012 American League West division. If any team's spot in the standings is bound to change, it has to be Oakland. Right now nothing seems to be holding the Rangers back. As long as the pitching stays strong, and the offense starts to heat up, the Angels could be climbing the ladder very soon here.

DailyDirt: In The Year 2525...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Digitally-stored information about nuclear waste needs to be accessible many thousands of years from now. Engraving the info on sapphire discs with platinum is just one proposed solution that could work for future archaeologists -- but in what language should it be written? [url]
- If you thought your burned CDs/DVDs lasted forever, think again. But if you still want to store your data on plastic discs, there's a company (Millenniata) that sells an optical disc engraving technology for writing CDs/DVDs that work with standard CD/DVD readers -- and that claims to last for about 1,000 years (or at least hundreds of years). [url]
- Neanderthals were making cave paintings over 40,800 years ago in Spain. How much of our art will survive the next 40,000 years? [url]
