10 Stories to Watch in 2013 (part 2)
10 Stories to Watch in 2013 (part 2)
The second of a two-part series about the stories to keep your eyes on during 2013.
By Tamara E. Holmes
6. Treatment on Demand
Last year we saw a number of medical advances designed to stem the HIV/AIDS epidemic:
The Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the ARV drug Truvada for pre-exposure prophylaxis.
The new combination pill Stribild was approved to cut down on the number of meds some PLWHA have to take.
And the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test became available.
But those advances won't make a difference if the people they're designed to help don't know about them or have access to them. If the latest treatments are going to be effective, the HIV/AIDS community must demand them.
What to watch for: HIV Post-Conference Updates conducted by the Black AIDS Institute have provided opportunities for information from AIDS 2012 to make its way to different parts of the country. Conversations about essential health benefits and how the Affordable Care Act will be implemented present an opportunity for members of the HIV/AIDS community to make sure their needs aren't overlooked. The ability of communities to mobilize and demand treatment will determine whether was actually realize the end of the epidemic that is finally within reach.
7. Passage of Gay-Marriage Referenda
It was a good year for supporters of gay marriage. Four states showed their approval of gay marriage in the 2012 election. Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington approved same-sex marriage, marking the first time that gay marriage had prevailed in a general election. Minnesota voters defeated a constitutional amendment that would have banned same-sex marriage in that state.
What to watch for: Challenges remain for the gay-marriage movement. Among them: The constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), a federal law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman and limits the federal benefits that same-sex couples can enjoy. The Supreme Court announced that it would hear arguments next year on DOMA, as well as the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage.
8. Plugging the Leaks in the Treatment Cascade
Treatment as prevention is key to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Not only do PLWHA live longer and healthier when they receive treatment early, but they are less likely to transmit HIV to others when taking ARVs. But there are leaks in the treatment cascade–specifically, PLWHA who are not receiving care. In order for treatment as prevention to be effective, we must plug those leaks or increase the number of PLWHA who are linked to and retained in care.
What to watch for: The treatment cascade provides a visual way to track the number of PLWHA who are actually receiving treatment. Community-based organizations and patient-navigation services must develop new ways to get PLWHA linked to care and keep them there. As the Affordable Care Act increases the number of people eligible for health insurance under Medicaid, the HIV/AIDS community must also figure out how to make sure people use that insurance. By seeing where the leaks in the cascade are, health-care officials can track the effectiveness of methods to get more people into treatment.
9. How Black AIDS Organizations Retool Themselves
The focus on treatment as prevention and the increasing use of biomedical tools to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic means that Black AIDS organizations that have focused on behavioral interventions only are in danger of extinction. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy has redefined the way that funding is allotted for HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment. As a result, organizations that perform only one task, such as testing, may find that they'll no longer be financially supported as more focus is placed on addressing the entire continuum of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment. If organizations are to survive, they must develop a scientific expertise or figure out a way to deliver health-care services.
What to watch for: Unfortunately, some Black AIDS organizations will close. Some may consolidate or find ways to work together in a changing health-care system. Community organizations should look for ways to adapt their business models and increase their knowledge of the science of HIV through training sessions, such as those offered by the Black Treatment Advocates Network, a network of HIV/AIDS advocates working to spread knowledge about the science of HIV.
10. PACHA's Disclosure Project and the Black AIDS Institute's Coming Out Project
The ability to safely disclose one's HIV status is crucial to physical and emotional health. Not only does sharing one's HIV status combat stigma and show that PLWHA can live full and happy lives, but it also forces people to acknowledge that PLWHA need and deserve essential services to remain healthy. The 48th Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) took a major step in creating a safe environment for disclosure by unanimously voting to adopt a safe and voluntary disclosure resolution. The Black AIDS Institute is also urging PLWHA to "come out" with their status.
What to watch for: If efforts to get people to reveal their status are successful, we'll have fewer people avoiding treatment because of shame and more people accounted for when policyholders determine what the HIV/AIDS community needs. "We can't make the case for the Affordable Care Act, the essential health benefit package, expanding Medicaid, building new clinics and creating incentives for doctors in the rural South if we can't prove that real people need those services," says Black AIDS Institute President and Chief Executive Officer Phill Wilson.

New version of wine app Drync wants to make it easier to buy a favorite bottle
So Rosen has been trying to get closer to the cash register, making it possible to purchase favorite bottles of wine without leaving the app. The latest version of Drync, called Drync Direct, launches this week in conjunction with the Boston Wine Expo.
"I can never find the wine I enjoyed at a restaurant when I'm at the store later on, or I can't remember it," says Rosen. "One issue is that retailers stock less than two percent of the overall number of wines available. So we wanted to help consumers who create an emotional connection with a wine yes, maybe they're intoxicated and help them buy it right then and there. The idea is to buy a wine you love, in the moment."
At a restaurant, or at the Expo, you can use Drync to photograph the label of a bottle of wine. The, the app either automatically recognizes it and shows you the price and a rating (on a scale of 1-5 stars), or the image is sent to a Drync employee who tries to identify it, and the results come back in a few minutes. Once the wine has been ID'ed, you can add your own tasting notes, and "tag it" with the location where you tried it. It's stored in a list of "My Wines" in the app, and you can opt to purchase it now, or perhaps weeks or months later. If you purchase more than six bottles, shipping is free. (And Drync is offering free shipping for all purchases at the Boston Wine Expo, which takes place this Saturday and Sunday.)
Orders are fulfilled by existing retailers and distributors, Rosen says: "We can recognize 700,000 bottles of wine, and our launch partner in Massachusetts stocks 15,000 bottles or more. But our model is to have multiple fulfillment partners." Drync takes a "marketing fee" from each order as it passes it along to retailers and distributors. Right now, Drync can only ship to 22 states, because of regulatory restrictions.
Oddly, at the Boston Wine Expo and many other expos, "you can't buy the wines you taste, and it can be hard to find them afterward," says Rosen, left. Drync will change that, with pre-populated lists of wines being showcased at the expo's various tasting events, like the "Affordable Bourdeaux Seminar."
When I tried the app on 15 random bottles I had at home, it did pretty well: Drync recognized ten of the labels automatically (and the company's human helpers punched in the other five within about an hour.) The app wasn't very good at getting the correct year (see the screenshot above), but you have the ability to adjust that. Five of the fifteen bottles I photographed were available for purchase through the app. Drync worked well when there was ample or even moderate light to take the photo, but as you might expect, low light tripped it up.
Drync's three founders treated the app as a side project until last February, when Rosen decided to focus on it full-time. The company won $50,000 in the 2011 MassChallenge competition; at that point, it was focused on becoming sort of like Groupon for wine, offering discounts on bottles that had been selected by Drync employees. Drync raised a small seed round of funding last year. Rosen says Drync has four employees, and is based in Boston's Financial District.
I featured Rosen last year in a column titled, "Entry is easy, but few prosper in app development."

Many people say it's important to get kids interested in STEM subjects — science, technology engineering and math. For nearly 10 years, Jill Wilker has been trying to do something about it.
Wilker is the founder and executive director of Playing at Learning, a Fremont-based nonprofit that helps students in the Bay Area and Sacramento learn about how to design, build and program robots. Playing at Learning is the local partner of First, the organization founded by Segway inventor Dean Kamen that sponsors competitions globally using Lego-based and other robots.
An engineering program manager at Intel (INTC) by day, Wilker didn't originally plan on taking on such a big task. Playing at Learning originally was founded to help organize and support Lego robotics teams and competitions in the Fremont area. But soon after she founded it, Playing at Learning was asked to run all of the competitions in Northern California.
That was somewhat manageable when she first started and there were about 1,400 students in the area participating. But since then, the programs have boomed and the number of students involved in competitions Playing at Learning sponsors has grown to about 7,000.
Wilker spoke recently with this newspaper about her organization, how it compares with a startup and what it needs to grow and thrive. Her comments have been edited for length and clarity.
Q: Many people might have agreed that something needed to be done to help organize Lego robotics competitions and teams in their area, but probably few would step forward and volunteer to do it. Why did you feel that was your responsibility?
A: We felt we had created this problem, and so we should be part of the solution.
I come from a very rich family of people who are very tied to the community. I grew up in the Midwest, and we were always doing something for the community. My partner, Mark, is the son of a minister with a very similar kind of philosophy of "somebody's got to do it."
We just happened to be at the right place with our careers. I was consulting. Mark was either working part time or on reduced work time. So it just was something we felt we could handle at that time.
Q: This isn't your day job and you don't get paid to do this. How do you balance your Playing at Learning with your actual job?
A: I'm a nights-and-weekend kind of person. It is a hard balancing game. But when I'm at work, I'm 100 percent focused on work. I know that Intel is a very big supporter of the First programs overall. So I don't have to separate that.
Q: How have the skills you use in your job translate to what you're doing for Playing at Learning?
A: They involve a lot of the same skill sets of coordinating, making sure that people have what they need. They're very, very similar, actually, from that perspective.
Q: How are the two experiences different?
A: In my day job, if I saw an opportunity to expand my market and I could make a business case, there's a mechanism to do that. I'm not connected into the nonprofit lingo enough to make that similar pitch.
I was part of some early startups, and understand how you pitch to a VC. The nonprofit world is different. As an engineer, I'm probably not the right person to take Playing at Learning to that next step. I need to find that next advocate, someone who can come in and shepherd it to all the things we know we can do and that we could be doing and serving all the kids that we could serve, that the market's there.
Q: What other steps does Playing at Learning need to take to grow as an organization? I assume funding is one of them.
A: Correct. That is our biggest limitation, actually. We're trying to raise money so that we don't have to worry about the rent, but also to bring on some staff people.
Q: It sounds as though in many ways this has been like a startup experience.
A: It is. It is absolutely like a startup. It's like a passion. My favorite experience is seeing the 9- and 10-year-olds — particularly the girls — and the excitement they feel toward engineering, in a way that they do not get in school.
Q: Where would you like Playing at Learning to be five or 10 years from now?
A: In a perfect world, we'd have a thriving set of staff people. We could see 4,000 teams in First Lego League. We could see something similar approaching that for First Tech Challenge and Junior First Lego League.
But really, it's not a numbers game. We need to do better at documenting. These are the kids that are going to make a better future. And they're already doing some great work, but we're losing their stories along the way. I think there are collaborations that we can do with people who are better at storytelling — not to gain fame for the individuals, but for people to feel and understand the impact that these kids are having. I'd love to have them have a bigger voice. The robot is just the attractor, it's not the end-all. It's not the summation of the programs.

This page is about the idiom for my money
You can say "for my money" to mean the same as "in my opinion".
For example
- For my money, the best restaurant in town is the "Ahaan Aroy" Thai restaurant in Prescott Street.
- Leo reckons Sony make the best TVs, but for my money the new Panasonics are much better than Sonys.

Trail Tour Adventure - Big Sky CountryPosted in Events on September 12, 2006
The first things you notice about Montana and Wyoming are the dramatic landscapes, high Rocky Mountain terrain, vast open plains, small towns, and abundant wildlife. These places truly leave an everlasting impression on the senses. Also, the two states constitute one of the few remaining sanctuaries in the lower 48 that still retain some of the Old West frontier feel and adventure.
The extent of the states' spectacular and diverse terrain made them the perfect setting for the 2006 Eaton Corporation/Detroit Locker and 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine Trail Tour. Eaton/Detroit is a company that has made a lasting impact on the sport of four-wheeling, and it is always an honor to hit the trail with its representatives.
This is the second year 4WD&SU has participated in the Trail Tour event, and we covered just over 950 miles of trails and highway and experienced every type of wheeling terrain imaginable. Dirt, rock, mud, deep snow, river crossings - you name it, we rolled through it. With the freezing sleet and snow in the high mountain passes and the hot, dry desert heat, it was like experiencing all four seasons in one short week.
The event started in Lewistown, Montana, about 200 miles east of the capital city, Helena. If you aren't familiar with this part of the country, Lewistown is the epitome of a quaint farming community. Like the majority of towns in this area, community life revolves around agriculture and a redbrick Main Street. It's quite a refreshing visit for us city folk.
For day one of the adventure, we lined up the 22 participating vehicles and headed to the Judith River Trail system southwest of Lewistown in the Little Belt Mountains. This turned out to be a full day of river crossings and wet fun through an astoundingly beautiful mountain range. By the end of the day, we had chalked up a total of 36 river crossings and one injured and hydrolocked Project Grand Caddy, which remained out of commission for the rest of the trip. After a full day on the trail, we looped back northwest to Lewistown for the evening.
On day two of the journey we headed east on Highway 87 and Highway 200 toward Winnett, Montana. This is one of the smallest towns we encountered on our journey, with its population of 187 according to the 2000 Census Bureau report. Actually, we had passed through a few smaller towns but didn't notice until the towns' only two buildings were a small silhouette in the rearview mirror. Just outside Winnett, we found ourselves wheeling on the Lund Cattle Ranch. Ranches in Montana are really still ranches, if that makes sense. Believe it or not, with 23,000 working acres, this ranch is small in comparison to other Montana ranches.
We spent the day exploring the ranchland on the numerous cattle trails and playing around on the sandstone mesa. Ty Lund and his son Cody regaled us with stories of ranch life before we went wheeling. It's life like this that really intrigues some of us city dwellers. To give you an example of how big this place is, a person could drive from horizon line in the east to horizon line in the west, covering many miles, and still be on the Lunds' property.
After the ranch run, we were treated to a fantastic barbecue hosted by Magic City 4 Wheelers. Getting out and meeting great people like this not only leaves you with a good feeling, it is just plain fun.
Day three we found ourselves rolling south down Highway 90 and then Highway 200 toward Beartooth Pass with our trail guide for the day, Bill Springer. Highway 200 happens to pass through the historical town of Red Lodge, Montana. At one time, the famous mountain man Jeremiah Johnson was sheriff of this town. Beartooth Pass peaks at 11,000 feet above sea level while it passes into the northern border of Wyoming just above Yellowstone National Park. The day before on the Lund ranch, we were wheeling in 80 to 90 degree heat, but the top of this pass, we found frigid 32 degree temperatures, wet snow, and sleet. The guys with the open and bikini-top Jeeps had a heck of a time keeping warm.
After a brief rest at Top of the World, Wyoming, we headed a few miles down the highway to the trail. Not too far off the pavement, our Jeeps got completely bogged down in deep snow. Progress became extremely slow. From this point on, we only made it a few more miles before we had to turn around and head out the same way we came in. That short run took us most of the day and was filled with challenges and numerous mechanical issues and breakdowns. From the snow trail we headed south on Highway 296 to Cody, Wyoming, and then east on Highway 14 to Lovell, Wyoming.
Day four was canyon and caves day in Devil's Canyon. This area is east of Lovell and just above the Big Horn Basin. The area's terrain is dry, somewhat hot, and similar to high-desert conditions. We were guided by local resident John Olsen. The mountains outside Lovell provided us with some very scenic and mild wheeling. The area is filled with historical Indian art work (petroglyphs) in addition to the natural wonder of the caves. On this run, we even got to undertake a little spelunking. At the end of the day, we headed back to the hotel for a fantastic barbecue provided by Robbie Pierce, owner of MasterCraft Race Products (don't worry, Robbie, I won't tell anyone I beat you in a game of horseshoes).
Day five took us on a little side trip to the Air Museum in Greybull, Wyoming. This was a real treat before hitting the trail. We were able to tour the old bombers before they were completely stripped and scavenged for parts. Most of the old bombers were World War II era. After the tour, we headed into the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming with our trail guide, Tony Scott. The trails weren't tough, but the scenery was astounding. We passed numerous high mountain lakes, rivers, and creeks.
Wrapping things up, we headed east up Highway 310 and then west on Highway 90 to Billings, Montana. In Billings, we were treated to a farewell banquet and some really good grub. With almost 1,000 miles of highway and trail under our belts, we all came to the conclusion that we had a great time with memories that would last a lifetime.
This year, for the first time in the event's history, we held a contest that allowed readers of 4WD&SU to participate in the event. The winners were Jay Kemp of Hillsboro, Oregon, and Jeff Patterson of Middletown, New York. Jay brought his brother Jim along for the ride, and both say they had a great time. Jeff unfortunately had an emergency and had to miss the event. He will be invited back next year. We will also be holding the same contest next year and again invite two readers of 4WD&SU.
We just about have the event pinned down for 2007, and we think it will be the adventure of a lifetime. If all goes well, we will meet in Washington State and board a ferry, with our Jeeps, and sail off to Anchorage, Alaska. This is a three-day journey up the coast through what is called the Maritime Highway. The cruise will take us in and around numerous islands, and wildlife viewing will range from birds of prey and killer whales to sea otters and bears. Travel on these ferries is similar to a cruise ship. Once in Alaska, we will wheel for a week in the Matsu Valley area near Wasilla and then head back to Washington on the ferry.
Everyone who participated in the 2006 Trail Tour would like to thank the main sponsor and organizer, Scott Frary from Eaton/Detroit Locker. Scott worked hard with Jared Prindle, owner of AFW Motorsports in Lewistown, Montana, to get this event rolling. We all had an absolute blast. We would also like to thank Dynatrac Products, the Gear Centre, Kilby Enterprises, MasterCraft Race Products, Poison Spyder Customs, PSC Motorsports, Superlift Suspension Systems, TrailReady, and Warn Industries.
For additional photography of this event, log on to 4WD&SU's website at www.4wdandsportutility.com. We hope to see you in Alaska!

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's curator insight, July 13, 2014 8:23 PM
Most quantitative research boils things down to statistics and an average measure of something. That might be helpful the further away from the classroom a person is, but the mix of quantitative and qualitative is important in the classroom. The late Ted Aoki used the phrase that students become faceless in the face of statistics.
Whatever research we turn to has to answer some important questions. Does the research measure and report what it says it does? Is the research helpful in the teaching and learning that happens in the classroom?

Rote learning vs. Reflective learning...I was talking to a middle school history teacher the other day that shared how she has her students take notes in their spiral notebooks. On the left side of the notebook students write class notes, then on the right side they write their "reflections", what did the teacher say that was meaningful to them, how did the class topic relate to something they have experienced, etc. This is a great teaching strategy.

Dear PJ: Please Don't Quit Groklaw
You're Welcome, NovellPamela Jones wrote "So the fundamental question facing us is, now what? Is it worth bothering to do Groklaw?" Fortunately, her answer is a resounding Yes:
"Hearing the author talk about A Secret Gift resolved the question for me. Being a decent person is always worthwhile, in all circumstances, no matter what others do or fail to do, and it's not about a reward. "
"And the truth is I felt used and abused. How could Novell enter into such a deal? Then top it off with selling 882 patents to a Microsoft-organized consortium? Why do I bother, I wondered? More seriously, I asked myself should I ask you to help?...Reading the excuses from a couple of Novell employees after the news of the work agreement broke justifying the deal makes me even more furious, because there is nothing they should say except, "I'm sorry we made the community look like we sell out for money." And they are not sorry.
"I don't wish to help people like that."
She makes a point that I heartily agree with:
"If there is one thing that covering the legal news for the FOSS community for nearly a decade has taught me, it's that most corporations in the IT field are a teensy bit disgusting"
What an understatement. In my experience too, though I would say more than a teensy bit. A lot more. Just to get it over with let's trot out the ritual tired excuse "but they're in business to make moneeeeeee", as though it justifies all abuses. It doesn't. Being a decent person and running a business decently and ethically should be the norm. If money is all that matters then sell illegal drugs, guns, porn, and human slaves. That's where the real profits and bottomless markets are. Children fetch premium prices in certain markets, and it's not like there's a people shortage. For that matter, why bother with selling anything? Just steal it. When money is all that matters why pretend to care about morals and ethics? At least have the guts to be honest about it. Wouldn't it be refreshing, instead of suffering through yet another tired "We have to maximize shareholder value through innovation and monetizing our sacred eye pee" nonsense speech to hear the truth? "I personally love evading regulations, buying legislators, screwing over my competitors, customers, and employees, and piling up such huge bonuses that I would need a thousand lifetimes to spend it all!"
The Truth MattersThe biggest reason for PJ to continue with Groklaw is because the truth matters. The outcome of Novell vs. SCO had consequences larger than either company, and Groklaw helped the truth to prevail. Groklaw shed light into a lot of dark mucky corners, and exposed a huge number of outright lies. Did Darl McBride ever utter a word about the case that wasn't nonsense? Would he have had more credibility without Groklaw tirelessly poking holes in every one of his whoppers? Would we have known he was little more than cannon fodder, the public buffoon face for the real movers and shakers behind the lawsuits?
There have been a number of news stories recently, in typical thoughtless herdbeast fashion, about the decline of Microsoft and how open source has won. Sorry, but it's not so. Microsoft never stopped with their dirty tricks, and the fundamental, necessary concepts of freedom, software freedom, transparency, privacy, open standards, and truth are under attack on more fronts than ever. Never ever forget that for the predators of big business it's always about money and power. Always. Never forget that for these, short-term interests always trump long-term, and that rationalizations trump rationality. Never underestimate how cheaply some people will sell out for. Never underestimate the power of justifications and willful blindness for the most heinous actions. Never forget that some people would rather lie even when the truth benefits them more. And never make the mistake of assuming that businesspeople are smart just because they run big businesses. Pushy and amoral are enough to take an ambitious person far.
We need Groklaw, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Free Software Foundation, and the Software Freedom Conservancy, and the Standards Blog, and Open Invention Network, and all of the many related groups that look out for our interests. They're more important than ever not only as activists, but as news publishers. The news industry has taken a terrible beating and we have only a tiny remnant of a truly independent tech news press. Which was never very large to begin with.
I am glad that when PJ came to the fork in the road she decided to keep Groklaw going. Don't forget to support Groklaw if you find it valuable-- type some transcripts, stick a few bucks in the PayPal jar, send PJ a compliment once in awhile. She has stood up to pressures that most people would not have endured, and they would have given up. The least we can do is stand with her.

Posted on 10/06/2006 1:37:54 PM PDT by kronos77
Guy Dinmore, of the Financial Times, reports on the new mission shared by US evangelicals and Serbia's Christian Orthodox Church: quashing US support for an independent Kosovo.
Leading evangelicals, such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, have called on their supporters to pressure the United States to not permit independence for this Muslim-majority province. Along with Bishop Artemije, Kosovo's most senior Orthodox cleric, Robertson and Falwell are concerned that an independent Kosovo will become a new haven for Islamic terrorism.
For those of you in need of a refresher on US-involvement in Kosovo, Jurist gives a brief and useful overview of the US presence in Kosovo, and the protracted conflict that has engulfed this Muslim-majority province.
Kosovo, while considered a successful case of American military intervention, is by no means a done deal. While the province is under the administration of the United Nations, it faces an uncertain future. A new Serbian Constitution, not yet approved by Serb voters, considers Kosovo a province of Serbia. And while negotiations on Kosovo's status are ongoing, the lack of resolution has fueled recent attacks on Kosovo's Serbian minority.
This new Serbian push against an independent Kosovo comes with Serbia's recent accession to America's "coalition of the willing." Serbia has supported America's policies in the Middle East, and is now using this position to highlight their concern that an independent Kosovo would be a terrorist Kosovo.
The most recent sign of the blossoming US-Serbian cooperation is President Bush's October 3rd retraction of a 2002 ban on US military assistance to Serbia.
While many analysts do not foresee an independent Kosovo as a new outpost for Islamic terrorism, they are concerned about Kosovo turning into a failed state. Kosovo could become "a weak reliant on international aid and prone to exploitation by criminal gangs involved in drugs and human trafficking," reports Dinmore.
Keeping the Kosovo question unanswered is America's best bet for now. While producing an uneasy truce, it avoids a return to the all-out conflict that engulfed the region in the 1990s. Yet this diplomatic holding pattern cannot last indefinitely. And regardless of the final result, the losers of any US-backed decision will likely resort to violence. Of what duration and intensity depends on the adroitness of great-power diplomacy.
Will an independent Kosovo produce another West Bank in Eastern Europe? Odds seem against it for now, but even faint odds are frightening.
It was allready on FR but interesting comment that might enlighten most of members of FR on present policy in Serbia nad kosovo. Except one that "Kosovo was concidered an ezample of successful US operation"
Personally, I think, IMVHO, that , given the terrorism of the "Islamofascists", the Serbian Christians should be supported by US and UN
the website has some interesting pictures about the nightmare for Christians in Kosovo
They were really screwed over in the 1990s. Now we are expected to sacrifice Kosovo for Moslems to be "peaceful" (for a time)
More bad news for the Dhimmis!
Life is sooooo good!
Those two are only brought to remind non-so-called-evangelicals of James Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart [sp?].
Several people have said this, but no one has mentioned who their more modern equivalents are. Who are the new "Pat Robertson's" & "Jerry Falwells's"?
What most Americans fail to realize from the American Serb side, is that while perhaps Falwell and Robertson do not represent the consituencies that they once did, they still represent far more people than Serbs do here in the US. They may not possess as large and mobilized a force as the anti-Christian Libs are, but Kosovo Serbs need all the help that they can get!
Try to open your sock drawer from time to time...
And one day, you might even ware clean ones...
But those are just my 2 cents...
Your clean underware drawer, in the other hand...
Interesting statement from someone who also says: "To my mind anyone who professes to be Muslim is my enemy." And yet, you are apathetic about whether or not Christians and Christian land are handed over to Muslims who have no legal right to it? You have no care as to whether or not Islam has a new beach head in Europe from which to attack Europe and us?
Either you don't understand the issue, or you do and you don't care about Islam gaining ground. If it is the former, then it is time to educate yourself. If it is the latter, your statement about all Muslims being "your enemy" is then just so much hot air and it is probably time for you to get back to your sock drawer.
Toe sucking Dick Morris just told O'Reilly that he encouraged BJ Klintoon to bomb Bosnia because he thought he looked too weakened by the Monica story and he could have saved a quarter of a million lives. The lies continue....
["Dick Morris...[said] to [Clinton] to bomb Bosnia because he could have saved a quarter of a million lives. The lies continue....
I saw it too. And yes, you're right. The lies continue.
He is exactly right. I would say, 98% of Americans have absolutely no idea about the true politics of what is going on. The independence of Kosovo could very well spark a war or signficant rift between the U.S. and Russia that would absolutely cause Russia to deploy troops to the Middle East on the side of Iran and their coalition. This is not even speculation, it is a fact of nature. The reason is for the pipeline(s) coming from the Caspian, and AMBO....etc....you know the story. I don't even engage in political discussions with my fellow Americans after being over here for the past 10 years. They do mean well, but they have no clue for the most part. There are some, on here that are the exception and understand quite well. We talk to them now almost every day. Americans don't realize that not too far off in the future our market is going to crash.......this will start an unprecedented chain of events.
We, are concerned with making a living, spending weekends with families if you have one, or playing if you don't...the "Super Bowl", PGA whatever, Something or other Cup.....etc........we tend to believe what we hear, others believe nothing of what the news says......it's a mixed mash of folks.
So, the independence of Kosovo, protecting the stability of a very volitile region, that could very well effect the world if it explodes...
Amen!! To answer your question of who are the "new evangelicals" which have the lamestream mess, DU, MySpace, conservative internet sites, blah, blah gone after visciously? Hint: tagline...:)
"Will an independent Kosovo produce another West Bank in Eastern Europe?"
Kosovo is already the west bank of the balkans and albanians---the balkan palestinians.

Sept. 20, 2008
BOSTON, MA - Freshman forward Bruno Costa (Pawtucket, RI) netted a pair of goals to lead the Rhode Island College men's soccer team over host University of Massachusetts Boston, 3-0, today in the Little East Conference opener at the Clark Athletic Center field on the campus of UMass Boston. The Beacons fall to 2-5-0 overall and 0-1-0 in LEC play, while the Anchormen improve to 4-3-1 and 1-0-0.
Rhode Island College got on the board in the first half when sophomore defender Kory Pacheco (Smithfield, RI) sent a throw into the box where Costa put a head on it from the 10-yard line to direct it off the cross bar and into the net for a 1-0 lead at 30:43. Costa's second score came when senior midfielder Brandon Migliore (Coventry, RI) found senior defender Josh Silva (Dartmouth, MA) on a corner kick at the back of the 18-yard marker, where he crossed to Costa at the six-yard line for a header that found the back of the net at 81:11 of the second half for a 3-0 Anchormen advantage.
Rhode Island College's second goal of the afternoon came on an own goal at 55:16 of the second half.
The Anchormen owned an 18-7 shot advantage as sophomore keeper Domenick Persuitte (West Barnstable, MA) made seven saves for UMass Boston, while freshman goalie Justin O'Connor (North Kingstown, RI) turned away two shots for Rhode Island College.
The Beacons will be in action again on Thursday, September 25 when they host Salem State College at 3:30 p.m., while the Anchormen travel to Bridgewater, MA on September 23 to play Bridgewater State College at 3:30 p.m.

Michael McIntyre's Big World Tour will see Michael perform to arenas across the UK and Ireland in 2018 as well as revisiting Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Norway and heading to America, Canada, Switzerland, Iceland, Sweden, Malta and the Netherlands for the first time.
In the UK, Michael has sold over 1.5 million tickets, including a record-breaking 28 performances at London's 16,000 capacity 02 Arena where he was awarded the keys to venue in 2015, alongside musical talents Prince, Take That and One Direction.
Around the world, Michael has previously sold out arenas in New Zealand, Australia and Dubai and he holds the record for the biggest selling comedy shows in South Africa and Norway.
2016 saw the launch of Michael's own television show Michael McIntyre's Big Show on BBC One. The last series averaged over 6.5 million viewers and recently earned two BAFTA nominations including Best Entertainment Programme and Best Entertainment Performance for Michael himself. The series has been commissioned for a third series, returning to BBC1 in the coming months.
His other TV accolades include; hosting the Royal Variety Performance twice, Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow (BBC One), Michael McIntyre's Easter Night At The Coliseum (BBC One), Michael McIntyre's Very Christmassy Christmas Show (BBC One) and as a judge on Britain's Got Talent (ITV1).
This event takes place at The O2, which has achieved Gold Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Michael McIntyre
Smart-suited comedian from North London who has appeared on Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You and 8 Out Of 10 Cats to name but a few.
The past few years have been exceptional for Michael, performing sold-out shows in arenas all over the world. His 2012 tour, Showtime, was the biggest selling comedy tour in the world that year, playing to over 640,000 people including a
record-breaking ten night residency at London's O2 Arena, matching the pop-superstar Rihanna's 2011 record.
Michael has also released three best-selling DVDs: 2008's Live and Laughing, was the biggest selling UK debut stand-up DVD of its time, Hello Wembley, which in 2009 became the fastest-selling UK stand-up DVD of all time - a record it still holds, and 2012's Showtime, which beat its competitors to the Christmas Number One spot.

Many of the products we offer are customizable, with cushions that are made-to-order. As a result, some of the manufacturers we sell do not accept returns of these items (except in the case of incorrect or defective items).
For those manufacturers that accept NON DAMAGED returns, the following information applies. All returns must be in original packaging and be received in original, new and re-stockable condition in order to receive a refund less return shipping charges and a maximum 15% factory re-stocking fee if applicable. Please contact us at for details.
After we receive and inspect your return, we will refund the credit card used for the purchase less return shipping fees and factory re-stocking fees if applicable. We never keep your credit card information on file so you will receive a call from one of our Customer Service Experts to process your refund.
Return shipping charges and factory re-stocking fees are not refundable (except in the case of incorrect or defective items). Shipping charges and factory re-stocking fees will be deducted from the total refund amount.

When your order arrives, be sure to inspect it to ensure that you received the correct products and that they were not damaged during transit. If you notice damages, be sure to note the damages with the delivery driver before you sign for it and contact our customer service department immediately. Although we experience very little concealed damages, we recommend (for large truck LTL deliveries) that you sign the delivery receipt notating "Pending Inspection". If you experience concealed damage, notating this for future reference will assist us with your claim process.
We know that sometimes it's not possible to notice all discrepancies before unpacking everything, long after the carrier has left. In such a case, please contact our Customer Service Experts within 14 Days of delivery and they will be happy to address the situation.
In all cases of damaged and incorrect shipments, we will gladly replace the item and the cost of shipping the item back to us for exchange.
After contacting us to process a return and get you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number, you will need to prepare your item for shipment. Please repack the item to be returned securely in the original packaging. Please write your RMA number in large characters on the outside of the box. Make sure the package is fully sealed before shipping. We are not responsible for packages that are lost or damaged.
Our Customer Service Experts will arrange to have the item picked up from your home. No need to take the item and have it shipped yourself; we'll take care of the legwork.

What is covered?
We warrant to you, the original purchaser, that with the exceptions stated below, the furniture you have selected is free from defects in material and workmanship. Straps, slings, and cushions are warranted based on quality of workmanship, not fading, discoloration, mildew resistance or stretching.
How long does coverage last?
Wrought Iron & Aluminum This limited warranty lasts for a period of fifteen (15) years from the date of delivery of the furniture to you ("Warranty Period"). Coverage terminates if you sell or otherwise transfer the furniture. Products approved for use in commercial applications will be covered under the current Hospitality Warranty Period of five years from the date of delivery.
Wicker & Table Tops This limited warranty lasts for a period of three (3) years from the date of delivery of the furniture to you ("Warranty Period"). Coverage terminates if you sell or otherwise transfer the furniture.
What Woodard will do
Wrought Iron & Aluminum If within the Warranty Period, your furniture fails structurally or if the finish cracks, peels, or blisters, Woodard will, at our option, repair or replace the frame in the original color and style. If the strap breaks or pulls out of the frame within three (3) years from the date of delivery, Woodard will send a replacement sling(s) directly to you upon receipt of the defective item(s). In the event that a frame color, style or fabric has been discontinued, we reserve the right to substitute the defective frame, sling, or cushion in a similar style or color at our option. Please note, because wrought iron is made from steel, small amounts of rust seepage may appear when used outdoors, mainly in the joints and crevices. This seepage is normal and is not covered under warranty. Regular maintenance (e.g., washing the furniture, touching up nicks and scrapes) must be exercised.
Wicker & Table Tops If within the Warranty Period, your furniture fails structurally or if the finish cracks, peels, or blisters, Woodard will, at our option, repair or replace the frame in the original color and style.

Freight charges will be paid by Woodard for three (3) years of the Warranty Period. Woodard reserves the right to examine all merchandise claimed to be defective. Upon approval of the claim, Woodard will authorize either repair or replacement of the defective furniture, strap or sling. No returns shall be accepted without a return authorization from Woodard.
What is not covered
This warranty does not cover and is a result of freight/shipping, a failure caused by unreasonable or abusive use, acts of God, improper care, freeze damage, mildew, normal wear, fading or stretching of fabrics and vinyl straps, glass breakage, glides, if the furniture is used for commercial purposes or if the customer fails to provide reasonable and necessary care as outlined in the product information brochures.
This warranty is valid only in the 50 United States and Canada. This warranty is in lieu of any implied or other expressed warranties. Implied warranties, including any warranty of merchantability imposed on the sale of this furniture under State law, are limited to a fifteen (15) year duration for the frame and finish, a three (3) year duration for the strap, and a one (1) year duration for the fabric. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Woodard shall not be responsible for loss of use, time, inconvenience, packaging, travel, personal injury, or other consequential or incidental damages resulting from any defect in the product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation exclusion may not apply to you. No person, firm, or corporation is authorized to make any other warranty or assume any other obligation for the manufacturer in connection with the sale of these goods. Woodard reserves the right to make design, color, or fabric changes and/or discontinue any item(s) without notice.

I was so surprised when I got to Marva's Her shop is filled to the brim with furniture and the pieces are often even more impressive in real life then they look in the pictures on the website. I purchased both my desk and a gorgeous converted gas lamp (very Victorian looking) and couldn't be more pleased with both. Marva's prices are fair and her pieces are some of the best in town!
So excited about finding Marva's. The service is great! They best selection I've seen and the prices are amazing. I just purchased 2 beautiful dressers and a vanity and I will be back for more pieces to furnish my new home. I totally recommend Marva's if you are looking for quality furniture. I really didn't thought that I could get the stuff I bought at this price and it's great that they offer delivery.
Lots of great items in the store! Purchased a beautiful dining room set that's absolutely perfect! Really pleased that I was able to find such a great set at an incredibly reasonable price. And I'd never even heard of folding dining room chairs (made of wood and upholstery!), but I found some of those and bought them too! The extra convenience of delivery was super, and the gentlemen who delivered the set were very polite, efficient, and careful with the furniture they were delivering.
After months of hunting high & low for a simple vintage iron bed at a moderate price, I finally stumbled upon it at Marva's. I wanted genuine, old school, vintage iron - not reproduction, not faux, not metal. I saw my bed posted online, jumped in my car & made a beeline to E Lake St. Quickly bought it & got help loading it in my car. Less than an hour later, my sweet new bed was all made up with a new mattress set & new linens just waiting for me to dive in. ~heaven~
I came across Marva's online and found a dining set that I loved. I ordered it online, which was extremely convenient. Within a day they had contacted me to arrange delivery. Dwayne delivered the furniture, brought it all in and set everything up for me. He was so friendly and seems to really enjoy this work. I will definitely be checking back with Marva's for any future furniture needs!

December 05, 2001
More than 250 attendees, comprised of academics, top business executives and local and international government representatives filled UCLA Anderson's Korn Convocation Hall for the UCLA Anderson Forecast's 50th anniversary celebration on Wednesday, December 5, 2001. The year-end conference, titled "California in the Global Marketplace," featured distinguished speakers from across the world brought together to examine how the forces of globalization impact California and the nation.
Following a welcome by Edward Leamer, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, Dean Bruce G. Willison introduced the morning keynote speaker, Yoshi Inaba, CEO and president of Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. Inaba addressed the conference on "California as a Home for International Business."
"Our aim has been to be a major economic contributor here, and a first-tier U.S. automaker," Inaba said. "We have always had a special focus on the Golden state and Toyota's desire for future growth in California remains steady. In addition, the expertise of our finance people here is increasingly being tapped to launch Global Toyota's finance operations in Europe and South America."
After introductions, attendees chose between three parallel tracks focusing on major U.S. trading partners, Europe, East Asia and the Americas. Each track highlighted the business opportunities and economic challenges in their respective regions, and how they affect California's economy.
Laura Cha, deputy chairman of the Securities Regulatory Commission in China provided the afternoon keynote address, in which she discussed the status of China's financial markets after its entry to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Cha characterized the future of Chinese financial markets as "promising and sound" and said their entry into the WTO is one of the driving forces behind their market's growth. "We believe we will endure the increased competition and bring our capital markets to a new level of excellence," Cha said.
The national economic forecast, along with reports on California and the economic effects of the September 11 terrorist attacks were presented during the afternoon session.
In their quarterly reports, economists with the UCLA Anderson Forecast affirmed that the U.S. economy is currently in a recession that they expect to be short and mild — turning around by mid-2002. The Forecasters, however, maintain that unemployment will continue to rise throughout the nation.
In his report titled "Not Long, Not Deep but Not Much of a Recovery Either," Dr. Edward E. Leamer, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast and business economics professor at UCLA Anderson, writes that when all the data are in, the first "official" quarter of the recession will likely be the second quarter of 2001. Since this writing, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) has indeed named April 2001 the first month of "official" recession.
The UCLA Anderson Forecasters first raised eyebrows with a recession forecast one year ago (December 2000), at a time when such a pessimistic view was deemed at best, premature and at worse, wrong, by other national forecasters. With his year-old forecast now confirmed as accurate, Leamer turns his attention to the future to determine what type of expansion the nation can expect after the short, mild recession.
Leamer's report includes a detailed analysis of the economic imbalances, which he believes caused the recession. "The Internet Rush from 1996 to 1999 created three fundamental imbalances. (1) Businesses invested without profits. (2) Consumers spent as if scarcity was a problem of the past. (3) Portfolio managers put most of their eggs in the U.S. basket. The course of the economy in the years ahead is being determined by the speed at which these imbalances are corrected."
"We are in recession today because of rapid adjustment to the first imbalance," Leamer said. Businesses have cut capital spending dramatically in response to very disappointing profits. Although business investment will surely bottom out, investment is not likely to return rapidly to its Internet Rush levels unless someone can figure out where on the Internet that the profits are hidden. Furthermore, absent very rapid GDP growth during the recovery, there will be a continuing excess capacity problem in tech and telecom and autos and airlines and hotels - virtually every capacity dependent sector."
In terms of the inevitable correction, Leamer said, "The bottom line: Expect a recovery by mid-year 2002, but a recovery with relatively modest GDP growth, 2-3 percent, not the 4-5 percent that was characteristic of earlier recoveries." Despite the mid-year turnaround, the Forecast expects unemployment to rise throughout the year.
In a companion report titled "California: The High Tech Downturn Gathers (Negative) Momentum," Senior Economist Tom Lieser says that it appears that California is also in a recession, while acknowledging that the same level of data missing for the national economy is not yet in for California. And while Lieser suspects that the downturn in the state began later than March, he is unequivocal about the cause: an acute downturn in the state's high-tech sector, which is more severe in the San Francisco Bay area than in Southern California.
"California's main problem … remains the downturn in high- tech, mainly information technology business which has cost the state a significant part of its most highly compensated workers (who were also, disproportionately, owners) in the IT business." In addition to its impact on California's employment situation, the importance of high- tech goods has also had a significant negative impact on California's exports, which have declined 19.5 percent in the past year, a rate far higher than the 11.2 percent decline in the national export area.
The Forecast suggests that the future standing of the state's economy will depend on the health of the national economy as the rest of the country remains California's best customer. If the national forecast for recovery holds, then a recovery will take place in California as well. Naturally, an important factor in the recovery for California will be resumption of growth in the IT sector, which will require growth in both domestic and international sales.
A special report analyzing the effects on the economy of the September 11 terrorist attacks was released the day of the conference. Authored by Christopher Thornberg, senior economist with the UCLA Anderson Forecast, it concludes that neither the national nor California outlook is materially affected.
"Some have claimed that this event actually pushed the U.S. into a recession, and point to massive layoffs in the airline and hospitality industries and the overall decline in consumer confidence as evidence. Yet while such talk creates good headlines, the direct evidence points to something different, " said Thornberg.
The evening keynote was provided by David Shulman, managing director and senior REIT analyst of Lehman Brothers, who addressed "The New World of Real Estate."
The UCLA Anderson Forecast is the most widely followed and often-cited forecast for the state of California, and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California and Southern California, and the strength of the state economy's rebound since 1993.

Firewire LFT Evo Surfboard 6ft 2 Futures - White
Product Details
Board size is tricky, no hard and fast rule here, use your usual volume as a guide and ride it as short as you dare. Tomo boards work really well in LFT tech, heres the info the new Linear Flex Technology (LFT) replaces the Rapidfire internal carbon rods with an 18mm wide composite Springer HD Suspension System that runs from nose to tail and includes a top-deck sheet to improve compression resistance. This high density insert creates additional strength through the centre with increased flex through the tail. The EPS top sheet buffer above the HD Springer allows for some compression but without the raised ridge and cracking that can occur with traditional wooden stringer surfboards. LFT delivers plenty of 'TWANG' in and out of your turns and creates the fast-twitch flex response that gives the surfer the feedback and return desired. LFT at last brings the perfect blend of a brand-new traditional PU 'board feel' with the added durability of modern sandwich construction.
Boardshop is stoked to be a key partner for Firewire Surfboards across Europe and beyond, we've been with them since the very start. Firewire surfboards are more durable than other surfboard manufacturing processes, and for 90% of surfers they will improve your surfing. Firewire is pushing the limits of applying new technology and innovation to surfboard design and always has an eye on the environmental impact of what they do, they truly are different to the other board companies out there. Firewire have come a long way since the early boards and the range of shapes and tech just gets better and better. A big chunk of the boards in the range are perfectly suited to the waves that 90% of us surf on a regular basis so if you haven't already give them a try. The staff here have surfed pretty much every board in the Firewire range at some time or another and we speak to surfers from all over the world and get their feedback on how the boards perform in all sorts of conditions so we're well placed to talk about all aspects of Firewire surfboards.

David Blackwell (reviewed 01/12/2018)
I cannot get over how quick this board was to catch the wave, and accelerate into the first turn. It's like it has a flux capacitor stored somewhere in the bottom contours. It just lifted off so fast, catching the wave was ridiculously easy. At least three times I thought I'd missed the takeoff but the board refused to give up and just deposited me right back where I needed to be.
The board is super loose, but in no way sketchy or twitchy. It somehow felt both incredibly solid and skatey at the same time. It also handled late drops, it felt so stable - just plonking my front foot down was like hitting the accelerator pedal. It took 15 years off my snaps, put an inch on my biceps, restored my hairline and even made me better looking.
Sections schmections, the board whipped round crumbling mush and put me back in the pocket without me really even trying. It was laughably easy to surf. So I laughed, several times.
I once read an article in Surfer magazine, where the author talked about 'the legions if the unjazzed' (non surfers). Honestly, if you've not ridden an Evo you are at risk of being unjazzed. I have just been playing jazz flute like Ron Burgundy and this board made me feel so young that I may go and buy some Levi 501s and start listening to Neneh Cherry again.
Sick, sick board.
I'm 44, 5'10", 12st. I have a 5'9" Evo.

My go board between 3-6ft
Spent a while surfing it as a quad and liked it a lot but in my opinion it really needs a thruster setup to get it working top to bottom.
If your surfing dredging barrels all the time the quad it has to be but for most days three fins all the way.
I use the Firewire template fin.
I'm 5'10 75kg and got the 5'4
It has quickly become my favourite board

I've ridden it about a dozen times now and am yet to find any negatives.
It absolutely flies in typical weak British surf, though it does take a bit of getting used to when it's overhead.
Probably the most fun board I've ever owned.
Mike (reviewed 01/11/2016)
Tomo boards have been on my radar for a few years, finally bit the bullet.. wish I had done so sooner. It is incredible.
I'm 6 foot, 82KG, average surfer, normally ride a 6'4", went on the cautious side length wise and got the 5'8". In hindsight I should have gone shorter.
Have taken the board out for a fews sessions at points and reefs and have to say no other board is as much fun or does so much for my surfing.
If I had to there's only two things I could say that aren't good, but aren't bad either.
Duck diving:
If you're coming from a standard short board you may notice it's a bit different to duck dive. The wider nose doesn't dive as easily .. just takes a bit of getting used to, by the second session I wasn't noticing it.
Strong cross shores:
Surfed twice in strong cross shores (20-25 miles per hour) and the wind can catch the nose a bit when rotating through turns. Not really a problem, but if you're used to short boards you may notice it on very windy days.
Alright, the good stuff..
Incredible. Nothing I've ever ridden comes even close. Nearly every session someone has commented on the speed. I've played with many fin set ups over the years and fast fins usually take away some level of control, like the board becomes a bit jittery under foot as if it can't handle the speed. The Evo is both insanely fast and totally in control at the same time but still reacts to subtle movements when you want it to go somewhere.
Take off:
The drops blew me away. When the board hits the transition it feels as if the entire board is being lifted completely above the water - a rush of speed follows!! Enjoy!
Like a snowboard.. put it wherever you want. Shorter models must be ridiculous. Have not loaded any other board on a bottom turn the way I have this one.
I bought Hayden Shapes Large Futures Quad rear fins to go with this board and used the Roberts Honeycomb Large thrusters I already own as front fins. This combo works well for me.
Only thing I'd suggest is don't be afraid to go short.. if I was buying this model again I would go for the 5'6".
Firewire LFT:
Had never ridden LFT before, feels good, and no pressure dings on the deck so far.
This board is great in both good and average waves. In my experience so far 4 to 5 foot walls bring out the magic - the drops, the loaded bottom turns, the speed and control all come together to deliver the best surfing I've done.
Board bag:
Only mentioning this here so nobody gets caught out. When ordering this board I also ordered the Global System 10mm 5'10" shortboard bag. The 5'8" Evo fits this bag but it is VERY snug, my advice would be to get the 5'12" bag or go for a fish bag as they have a wider nose. I didn't go for a fish bag because I don't like the look of them. It was my first time buying anything Global System, they're good quality and would recommend.
Good folks to deal with, everything was shipped within a day.
Would I recommend this board?
Without hesitation. This is the best board I've ever surfed.
Nell (reviewed 06/10/2016)
First try on chest to head high clean surf in Port Louis Guadeloupe, and I can tell there is no lie about this board... Fast, smooth, stable and reactive, it gives me some more flow!
Just make sure you don't take it too big:
mine is 5'3 (27.4L), it paddles and floats like my 5'10 hellfire (29.4L), catches the waves just as easily, and feels like bigger would'not be better. (I'm 6'1 - 165lbs)
Rob Nichols (reviewed 29/09/2016)
Klaver (reviewed 21/08/2016)
But before I'll go into more detail I first want to state how great the guys of boardshop have been with their service. Seriously guys, being dutch I'm not really familiair with the British dictionary but I'm pretty sure that if I were to look up 'Service' there would be a picture of Ian giving the thumbs up ;-) Something went wrong with the delivery and the way you solved it was second to none and made me an even bigger fan.
OK, the way the surfs. I live in Holland and surf crappy, wind chop waves (and still love it) but I was really in doubt about buying the evo and even more so because I bought it 5,5 (30,5L) where I normally buy boards around 33 liters. The board feels really stable and easy to paddle even in small waves but what I loved most is the way it surfs. From the moment you get up it feels like the wave your riding stays open longer than on your other boards and has way more canvas to work with. In other words the board is really fast but stable at the same time. For me this translates to the bizar sensation of going really fast but feeling like you've got enough time to choose your next section or turn.
All in all. absolutely love it!

Boardshop customer care was excellent as I went for a 5'4" at 30 litres and realised it was to big,I hadn't ridden it and called them up,no problem,they swapped it for a 5'3".
Buy your boards from these guys,they know their stuff and after sales is the best.

And once up and riding you don't have to think about generating speed . You feel like you have speed to do anything .
Defiantly fastest board ridden in waves with no power but Also it still feels like it can handle bigger and better waves , as still feels high performance.

First wave was crazy, crap surf but I came off the bottom on my backhand smacked the lip, slid round a bit and literally straightlined dumbfounded!
Bogged a rail on a few turns, put too much into them, mainly I think because I am not used to so much speed – all in all 10 out of 10 though. I am converted

Carlo (reviewed 05/08/2015)
In the surf paddling is easy, the wide nose means you have to adapt a bit, duck dives are no problem, the extra bit of nose width doesn't cause problems. You get easy and early into waves. Even steep drops are no problem. The board feels very predictable/stable under your feet and at high speeds its easy to turn in a remarkable tight arc.
I'll have to see how it behaves in a bit more junky surf, for now we've just had clean surf but I reckon it will handle it well. This might just be the one board quiver.

The Chrysler Pacifica is one of the first midsize crossover wagons to hit the market. A product of the Chrysler-Daimler-Benz union, the vehicle was expected to fare well in the auto market. Unfortunately, sales never met expectations, and Chrysler ceased production in the 2008 model year after only four years of manufacturing.
The Chrysler Pacifica is a midsize crossover vehicle that unites the ease and comfort of driving a car with the utility of an SUV. The Pacifica is touted as an original crossover wagon, yet in contrast with the competition it offers more luxurious features and pleasant upgrades.
The Chrysler Pacifica was the first creation to emerge from the Chrysler-Daimler-Benz business venture, widely known as the "merger of equals." At a cost of nearly $1 billion, the Pacifica remained in the development phase for two-and-a-half years and was finally ready for launch by the 2004 model year. The vehicles were manufactured at Chrysler's Canadian plant located in Windsor, Ontario.
The Pacifica includes a long list of standard features; however, its popularity has never hit a persistent level. The vehicle gains little recognition for reliability, and its price is out of range for many buyers. Chrysler manufactured the Pacifica until the 2008 model year, at which time production ceased due to unremarkable sales.
The Chrysler Pacifica is applauded for its suspension and smooth ride, which resemble a car more than a midsize crossover. It uses some of the technology that made Mercedes-Benz popular—like its suspension system, which mirrors the popular Mercedes E-Class. It also boasts comfortable seats and an upscale interior, and it rides well for a vehicle of its size.
Chrysler offers the Pacifica in a range of models, from a standard base model to a limited edition with many available options. The Pacifica also has a few notable moments in its career. It won an award for "best pick frontal" by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, as well as five star safety crash ratings for front and side impacts.
The 2008 Chrysler Pacifica shows improvement upon previous models and offers three trim levels. The base model, the LX, houses a 3.8-liter V-6, seating capacity for five, 17-inch steel wheels, and many standard features such as dual-zone temperature control and load-leveling rear suspension. The LX is offered in front-wheel drive or full-time, all-wheel drive. The AWD model upgraded its engine to a 4.0-liter V-6, delivering 233 horsepower. The LX also offers many high-end optional features such as rear DVD entertainment, alloy wheels, and a 10-way power driver's seat.
The Touring models come with a 4.0-liter V-6 engine and an extra bucket seat that increases capacity to six persons. The standard high-end features include cabin air filtration, Sirius satellite radio, heated outside mirrors, leather-wrapped accessories, fog lamps, and more. Additional options include a rear parking assist system, a high-quality surround sound system, GPS navigation, and tire upgrades.
The Limited models boast the ultimate in luxury with all the standard features of the previous trims in addition to standard leather seating, heated seats, a sunroof, and more.
The 2004 Chrysler Pacifica was the first model to leave the assembly line. Chrysler offers it in two trim levels: a base and a limited version. The 2004 Pacifica contains a 3.8-liter V-6 engine with 210 horsepower, which isn't very popular simply because of the vehicle's size. In addition, numerous repair issues make the 2004 Pacifica less than desirable. The 2004 Pacifica comes with some impressive features such as dual zone climate control and power seating, but it wasn't until the Touring edition came out in 2005 that the features list expanded.
A 250 horsepower V-6, 3.5-liter engine comes standard on all of the base 2005 Pacifica models, excluding those with front-wheel drive. The Touring model features a longer list of options and more standard features than the 2004. Chrysler also adds a two-passenger third row seat and replaces the second row bench seat with bucket seats in this design.
The 2006 Pacifica shows little change from previous years; however, it eliminates the 3.8-liter engine option, making the 3.5-liter the only one available.
In 2007, the 3.8-liter returned to the front-wheel-drive models, with a 4.0-liter V-6 added to every other model. The vehicle flaunts redesigned headlights, hood, fenders, wheels, and grille. Higher-quality fabric and optional rearview camera are also on the features list.
Sales continued to fall short of expectations in 2007, with Chrysler selling fewer than 73,000 units. On November 1, 2007, Chrysler announced the end of production for Pacifica vehicles.
