Besides the fact that you look incredibly cool, kitesurfing is gaining in popularity because it combines so many other sports – wakeboarding, windsurfing, paragliding, snowboarding, and power kite flying, all rolled into one exhilarating extreme sport.
Who wouldn't want to look like Ruben Lenten (ridersmatch)?
Of course it will take a fair amount of practice, perseverance and skill to get to this level of expertise but it ain't impossible.
And its not only all about tricks. There's nothing wrong with straight flat out kiting. The Crathorne family have just broken 3 records by being the first family to kitesurf across the English Channel, the busiest shipping lane in the world, from Dungeness to Boulogne in just 3 hours and 40 minutes. And the records they broke?
- Lucy and Polly are the first Women to kite surf the channel to France
- Polly is the youngest person at 16 to have kite surfed across and
- Ralph is the oldest (for the moment) at 51.
And there's been another landmark crossing. Having had to wait a year for the right weather conditions, 5 friends, Fraser Dooley, Martin Sandwith, Stuart Wood, Nick Elliott and John Flynn, have just successfully crossed the Irish Sea – a 110 mile 9 hour crossing from Cloghy in Northern Island to Silloth in West Cumbria. A massive undertaking. But despite the 9 hours battling the elements they had enough stamina left for a champagne celebration on the beach with family and friends!
Sir Richard Branson intends to kite the channel for his 60th birthday present to himself, accompanied by 5 time world champion Aaron Hadlow and Laird Hamilton of Big Wave surfing fame. "Kitesurfing is one of my favourite sports. I absolutely love the amazing rush you get when going at high speeds, in high winds, with the most beautiful kite acting as your only guide," he said and added "My wife [Joan] swears I get more barking as I get older. This year I've almost crippled myself running 26.2 miles in my first marathon. Now I'm putting my poor 60-year-old bones through an arduous 24.4 miles, over water, hanging on to a giant kite."
He too is making it a family affair – his daughter, Holly, son, Sam and his nephews will be kiting with him.
"Get the knowledge. Get the training. Get the insurance" says BKSA (British Kitesurfing Association). Good advice to follow if you are thinking of getting started in this very popular extreme sport…

Should I Become a Medical Examiner?
Medical examiners are licensed physicians who possess specialized training in forensic pathology. They perform autopsies and inspect organs, tissue and bodily fluids to determine the cause of death in violent or suspicious cases. Dealing with deceased individuals on a regular basis might be a negative for some doctors, but solving questions related to unexplained deaths may be rewarding for other professionals.
Career Snapshot
|Degree Level
|Medical degree required; medical examiners should earn either an M.D. (Medical Doctor) or a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine)
|State licensure required
|Certification by the American Board of Pathology (ABP) in forensic pathology required
|Approximately 5 years of training after graduating from medical school
|Key Skills
|Judgment, decision-making, and critical thinking skills; social perceptiveness; use of Microsoft Word and Excel, graphics and photo imaging software, toxicology databases, and Douglas Associates Forensic Filer; Coordination; dexterity with autopsy tools
|$187,200+ (2015 median for physicians and surgeons )

People who work in this field must have strong decision-making and critical thinking skills. They also need to be highly perceptive, make sound judgments, and possess the dexterity needed to operate autopsy tools with coordination and skill. Medical examiners often use Microsoft Word and Excel as well as graphics and photo imaging software, toxicology databases, and Forensic Filer, a specialized case management software program.
The median annual salary was at least $187,200 or more as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in May 2015.
How to Become a Medical Examiner
There are several steps required to become a medical examiner.
Step 1: Earn an Undergraduate Degree
Those who wish to become a medical examiner should first complete a bachelor's degree program. While no specific major is required, students should focus on undergraduate coursework that fulfills medical school prerequisites. Some courses that pre-med students may take include inorganic and organic chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics.
In order to get ahead, concentrate on academic achievement. Because entry into medical schools is competitive, extra attention should be paid to academic performance. Admission is based on a number of factors, including extracurricular activities and letters of recommendation, but academic performance is one of the most important factors.
Prepare for the Medical College Admissions Test. Coursework that prepares students for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) can also be beneficial. Taking the MCAT is required for admission to medical school, and a good score should help to position candidates well against strong competition.
Step 2: Attain a Medical Degree
Students may earn either a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.). Medical programs generally take four years to complete; the first two years are commonly spent in classrooms, while the final two years include more hands-on work and rotations wherein students explore various specialties. Students apply the skills they have learned under the supervision of experienced physicians.
Focus on work with future career goals in mind. An aspiring medical examiner may wish to focus his or her experiential opportunities on forensic medicine. The opportunity to work under the guidance of trained individuals in the field is a valuable experience for future medical examiners.
Step 3: Enroll in a Residency Program
Medical school graduates must complete their residency in anatomic and forensic pathology in order to become medical examiners. Residency programs provide paid training and typically last four years. Forensic pathology residents gain practical experience by participating in autopsies and investigations.
Boost your chances of success in a residency program. Sharpen key skills. Medical examiners have strong skills in coordination, critical thinking and social perceptiveness. Completing a residency program allows medical school graduates to hone these critical skills through real-world experience.
Take advantage of specialty electives. Residency programs usually offer a variety of elective options. This is a great chance for students to learn about the pathology of the systems they're interested in, such as molecular pathology, neuropathology and transplant pathology.
Step 4: Complete a Fellowship
Fellows work on a forensic team at a medical examiner's or coroner's office following the completion of a residency. They may participate in crime scene investigations, prepare courtroom testimonies, test body fluids and assist with autopsies. They typically receive a stipend for about one year of work. Over the course of that year, resident trainees perform up to 300 autopsies while under the supervision of a certified forensic pathologist.
Step 5: Acquire Licensure and Certification
Medical examiners must obtain their state medical license before they can become board certified. This step can be done after graduating from medical school or during the course of a residency program. Licensing requirements for medical examiners vary between states, but common requirements include graduating from an accredited medical school, passing the exams and completing a residency or training program. Once they are licensed medical doctors, medical examiners are eligible for the national certification exam. The exam is offered by the American Board of Pathology and consists of questions regarding the practices and procedures used in forensic pathology.
Step 6: Pursue Opportunities for Career Advancement
After a person gains enough experience as a deputy medical examiner, they can pursue advanced options such as becoming a chief medical examiner. Often this new job title comes with a substantial increase in pay, but there will be increased responsibilities during autopsies. A chief medical examiner will also be more involved with the government agencies working in tandem with the medical examiners.
Licensed medical doctors who earn board certification in forensic pathology can use their professional knowledge and skills to perform autopsies and investigate suspicious or violent deaths as necessary.

Barring death, it seems there's a law that all bands must reconvene at some point regardless of how the acrimonious the split was. When lead guitarist Terry Bickers departed The House Of Love in the late 1980's, one of the great partnerships of alternative/indie rock was broken up just as the band were on the cusp of becoming huge. Happily, frontman Guy Chadwick and Bickers put their differences aside roughly ten years ago and brought out an album called 'Days Run Away'. On its own terms, it was a decent album, albeit one limited by its beat group production. The biggest problem was that it didn't really sound like The House Of Love.
Any feelings of trepidation of which incarnation of The House Of Love will show up this time will subside as soon as the opening track plays. 'A Baby Got Back On Its Feet' contains the key elements of Terry Bickers' jangly guitar and Guy Chadwick's ghostly vocals. In terms of its place in the order of great career moments, it may not trouble the Top 20 but it's a sure sign that this is a "proper" House Of Love album. A playful and undemanding song called 'Hemingway' follows. So far, so respectable. The title track is, however, much better; featuring an effortlessly cool performance from Chadwick with easy on the ear harmonies and Bickers' ever-reliable melodic prompting, then there's the impressive, menacing rumble of 'PKR'. Best of all is 'Money Man' where the telepathy between Chadwick and Bickers reaches a glorious peak, or even the perfectly-judged languid charm of 'Sunshine Out Of The Rain'. Admittedly, the countrified stylings of 'Lost In The Blues' and the last two numbers may lack the necessary edge but these are quibbles on an otherwise strong album.
'She Paints Words In Red' is not a classic but in all fairness – despite a plethora of great songs in their back catalogue – it's debatable whether House Of Love ever really made a consistently great album. Nevertheless, this is a rewarding and dignified reminder of their earlier magic with some cracking songs worthy of a place on any future "best of" compilation. At its best, one can almost imagine the band and original producer Pat Collier have done a "Rick Rubin", gone into the studio and remembered the glories of twenty five years ago. They did a fine job.

High Health Hazard. Dimethicone is a type of Silicone which are slow to biodegrade and can form an impermeable layer on hair and skin.
Dimethicone is a chemical that belongs to the 'siloxane' family - also known as silicones. It is used to improve the 'slippery feel' of personal care products such as moisturisers and hair conditioneri. Although there is not much research showing the negative environmental effects of Dimethicone, we know that similar silicone based molecules have been proven to persist in the environment and be slow to biodegradeiv. This can be a cause for concern when considering the effects of these chemicals on wildlife such as aquatic organisms after that have been washed down the drain and released into the environment. At ecostore we aim to use ingredients that are readily biodegradable, as these types of ingredients can naturally decay over time and have less of an impact on the environment. Another cause for concern is that silicones often create a barrier on the skin or the hair, which can be impermeable and have low solubilityvi, making it harder to clean these invisible barriers off. Although no studies have been conducted to show any adverse effects from these silicone resin layers on the skin or the hair, we at ecostore take caution in interrupting the body's natural barriers (such as the acid mantle on the skin) which is another reason why we leave out silicones like Dimethicone in our products.

We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are many drug and alcohol treatment facilities options available to people living in the Clear Lake area. You will need to understand each one of the varieties of rehab possibilities available in Clear Lake, AB., so that you can select the appropriate treatment approach for yourself or someone you care about. Choosing the proper drug treatment facility in Clear Lake is the central factor in the treatment of substance abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This data will help ensure you fully grasp your various treatment choices allowing you to have the best possibility of an ideal end result.
Let's have a look at the various drug and alcohol treatment programs in Clear Lake, South Dakota choices that coincide with the circumstances of the individual looking for rehabilitation.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Clear Lake, AB. is often a treatment choice ideal for those who need medical intervention for the duration of treatment or individuals with considerable drug abuse histories. People can develop both mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Clear Lake is considered the most beneficial rehab option in nearly all situations. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, men and women will most likely be unable to recover using the minimal solutions offered by outpatient rehab centers in Clear Lake, South Dakota where alcohol and drugs are still easily accessible when they leave the outpatient program. Likewise, men and women in treatment who receive outpatient rehab instead of inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Clear Lake are still vulnerable to damaging relationships and conditions which can get in the way of their recovery process. If someone lives with an abusive companion or maintains relationships which involve drug abuse, any treatment activities in outpatient treatment are done in vain. For this reason in-patient alcohol and drug treatment in Clear Lake, AB. is going to produce more beneficial outcomes which will prove lasting unlike an outpatient drug rehabilitation facility where benefits are often very minimal and acute.
In Clear Lake there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment. Short-term is a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Clear Lake, South Dakota is more extensive and rehab lasts 90-120 days generally speaking. It is really an ideal environment for clients since it is a completely drug free environment where they are able to recover both mentally and physically without interruptions. Ideally, people will continue inside a long-term in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility in Clear Lake for the optimum period of time allowed, to be able to handle anything which can jeopardize their abstinence after they depart rehabilitation. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can require a couple weeks by itself, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Clear Lake is going to be time well spent and significantly more effective than short-term programs.
The most crucial factor of all if you or a loved one has a substance abuse or addiction issue is to get it resolved right away, make calls and seek advice from skilled addiction specialists and have an evaluation and treatment possibilities to ensure the best potential for a full recovery.

The Lorax
- Starring: the vocal talent of Zac Efron (High School Musical), Taylor Swift (Valentine's Day) and Danny DeVito (Taxi)
- Directed by: Chris Renaud, Kyle Balda
- Synopsis: "From the creators of Despicable Me and the imagination of Dr. Seuss comes the 3D-CG feature Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, an adaptation of the classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. The animated adventure follows the journey of a 12-year-old as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world." (collider)
- Rated: PG for brief mild language
- Trailer:
In the spirit of "Seuss-ology", here is my rhymerrific review of The Lorax! Enjoy. 🙂
Boys and girls, come, all must draw near.
A wonderful tale you need to hear.
Here's a review for you Jills and Jacks
To learn all you want about The Lorax.
This film full of animation and wonder
Tells two stories much like any other.
One of a boy seeking to impress a girl,
The other -a message of saving…and changing the world.
A visual feast enjoyable to all.
To watch both stories unfold you will have a ball.
The bears, the fish, the whatchyamadoos,
The non-speaking characters will have you in use
Of your hands as you reach to comfort your side
From so much laughter impossible to hide.
While continuous blatant environment-saving
Messages do the finger-pointing and blaming
Of those who harm the rainforest and such
It can, at times, be a bit much.
But humor swoops in and as adventures arise
We hope for both heroes to then earn their prize.
One wants the girl, the other: redemption
From previous mistakes after lost intervention.
The Lorax attempted to save all the trees,
But so many fell, and they fell so with ease
The audience interest is most captured when seen
Are the animals, the Lorax, and a teen (or a "tween").
The rest of the tale falls flatter than when
The picture these creatures have thus entered in.
Tho, what's the big fuss?
To see it's a must.
The Lorax…you just have to see it…or bust!
From fantastic visuals to colorful scenes,
From musical numbers that either bother or please,
This film is quite fun, check it out in 3D
You'll like it whether you're 87 or 3.
A joy for all ages. Don't be a stiff, like a tree,
Check it out, the trees there are much more pretty.
From beginning to end you will not be bored.
Go see it. Or the Lorax will come. "You've been warned."
Thanks for reading! Happy Watching!
Score: 3.5 out of 5 stars for The Lorax (Look for the cameo Minion from Despicable Me in the film!)

A little black dress is an absolute necessity for every stylish girl's closet. There's just nothing like a grab-and-go outfit that will always look smashing and appropriate. And if you're lucky, you have several favorites from which to choose!
But honestly, an LBD can get just the tiniest bit boring. I mean, there's only so much you can do with jewelry. So, I was thrilled to find Witt Gypsy Studios, an amazing company makes the most gorgeous, unique evening bags, guaranteed to breathe new life into any LBD.
Each bag is painstakingly crafted by hand, beginning with building the birch "cigar box" bodies. Then the bags are not only hand painted, they are actually woodburned first to give the animals texture and detail — they almost look like they have fur, feathers and wings. Woodburning is basically the equivalent of sculpting on a flat surface – this gives just an inkling as to how detailed these bags are.
The bags are also hand lined with matching fabrics. My bag, the snow leopard, is lined with faux fur, for a bag that is as breathtaking inside and it is outside! And many of the bags have beaded handles, gold or silver fixtures, and swarovski crystal embellishments, as well.
Granted, these bags are petite, but they definitely have room for all of the essentials. What else does a girl need but keys, a cell, a credit card and a fabulous lipstick?Retail $450
In addition to the animal series, Witt Gypsy evening bags come in a huge range of styles – each more beautiful than the last. Birds, whimsical dragonflies, mysterious geishas and more adorn these intriguing, miniature pieces of art.
Alas, I can't carry an evening bag every day. Lucky for me, Witt Gypsy has also created a full line of clutches, regular sized handbags and now – handpainted canvas totes! Prices range – clutches start at $55, handpainted totes at $55 and full sized handbags start at $325. Shop online at Witt Gypsy.
Whatever style you choose, these beautiful bags from Witt Gypsy are truly "art you can carry."

What the heck is acai, are your thinking right now, aren't you?! How do you even say it? Well you pronounce it as "ah-sigh-ee". That is the first step haha. Now what is it? It's a berry that grows on the acai palm tree in Brazil. It's called a 'super food' thanks to al it's benefits; antioxidants, amino acids and omega fats.
So now you know what it is, I can talk about this 'recipe'. You can call it a smoothie, because it's all fruit blend together. So it makes an easy recipe, but of course I pimped it a bit up. 'Cause what's a smoothie without toppings? Yes just a smoothie haha. Always go for the smoothie bowl!
1 Serving
- 1 Package frozen acai puree
- ¾ Banana
- 30 gr Frozen blueberries
- 75 gr Frozen raspberries
- 3 tbsp Soy yogurt
- 75-100 ml Cashew milk (or any other dairy free milk)
- ¼ Banana

Our Arabians
East West Equestrian Arts is the home of the Malabar Jilfan Sitam al Bulad Arabian Preservation Program.
We get one chance to save this bloodline
Once they are gone, they can never be replaced or duplicated.
Safin n Niya, Bahiya Mizan, and Nasr Mubaarak are likely* the last three Arabians in the USA with an unbroken dam Jilfan Sitam al Bulad bloodline. Tradition traces bloodlines and subgroups of horses through the maternal (dam) bloodline back to the original clan and family that bred that strain. These horses have a mother's bloodline that traces all the way back to Syria to the Jilfan Sitam al Bulad* (also spelled with other variations).
They may* also be one of two last unbroken Jilfan Sitam al Bulad dam line globally.
*Purity and bloodlines in Arabians can be very subjective. There is debate (and politics) about the status of the Jilfan line.
These are also very rare Early American Foundation Arabians. This means all their bloodlines come from horses imported into the USA before 1944. Truly american Arabians. There are fewer than 1000 Early American Foundation Arabians of any bloodline.
Finally, these are rare Malabar Arabians. Malabars are a strain bred for rare black color, good size, strong bodies and above-average calm intelligent minds with strong empathy for humans. These are throwbacks to the original "live in your tent" Arabians from history. There are only a few hundred breeding 25% or more Malabars remaining.
Each of these qualities alone is rare.
Those three combined qualities make these three the last of the last and as rare as horses get.
Why is preservation important
There are many Arabians in the world. Why work so hard to save these four and continue their bloodline?
This Jilfan Sitam al Bulad bloodline, and the Malabars and Early American Foundation arabians – all are at risk of vanishing and taking their unique DNA with them. Someday, that unique DNA could be the key to solving a horse disease. Or bringing back a valuable genetic trait.
These Jilfan horses are unusual. You have to meet them to fully appreciate just how much. They are conscious beings, intelligent, thoughtful, caring. Their empathy is very strong.
East West welcomes visitors – you may come meet them for yourself and experience their unique empathy. Whether you are able to travel to East West and meet them in person, or must participate from a distance, you can be part of their journey, part of the circle of life and new births and the return of a precious bloodline.
We welcome partners in the preservation project.
Pregnancy lasts eleven months. A young horse must mature for several years before being bred. This will be long process, saving this bloodline. It will take a village to complete the task. You can be part of the Jilfan Sitam village, a Horse Hero. You can watch the mares bloom, foals be born, help with the naming, and follow their growth to adults.
Where and how are the funds spent
All funds raised will be spent only on the care and preservation of these horses and their offspring, including land and facilities. Funds will be spent mainly in the Benton, Pennsylvania, USA area. Some out-of-state or international spending will be necessary for the breeding program, exhibition, for purchases such as stallion services, genetic testing, and feeds, supplements and other supplies. Funds are also being raised to secure land and improve facilities.
East West maintains a separate bank account for these horses, and all receipts for expenses. East West is not currently seeking non-profit or not-for-profit status. Any profits earned by the horses will be reinvested back into the Malabar Jilfan Sitam al Bulad Preservation Program, and receipts and records maintained as proof. Join our Horse Hero program to sponsor your favorite horse.

As I get older I began to see certain things about myself that are not okay. Ehh, seeing that statement in black and white is part of the step to a better ME. Below are 3 things I need to work on.
Family Time
I love my family and they are very important to me. But in the past couple of months, I've been a bad communicator. A plain text message or phone call can make a world of a difference. I plan to communicate with my family, especially since my brother (last child) is leaving for school, my mom is going to be hella bored.
Be direct
I'm pretty good when it comes to expressing my feelings. But , if I don't care about the "subject" I would not express my feelings. I quickly realized me doing this lead to more drama that I do NOT need in my life. So, I plan to work on expressing my feelings in a not so rude way.
Mr. Wrong
I am 27 years young, I am single and living in New York. I do not have time for games and petty drama certain men, well boys, bring into my life. My recent ex for example, I saw signs that perhaps he was not the one for me. But I ignored those signs and had to be the heart breaker. I learned a lot in that relationship…maybe I'll share in a different blog post.
Well those are my top 3…I'm sure there will be more along the way but I'm ready to move forward not back. What are somethings you would like to work?

LONDON, England (CNN) -- A group of musicians working at universities in England are getting excited about the latest computer acoustic software, whereby a computer reacts to what a musician plays.
The software is programmed in such a way that, when used alongside a live musician, it produces an improvised sound, in a similar way to how chess computer programs play "live" against human players.
Professor Peter Wiegold, Head of Music Research at Brunel University, says several universities throughout the country are using this sort of software.
At Brunel, English cellist Matthew Barley has taken up a research post to develop a repertoire of duets between a solo cello and a computer using software developed by Ircam, the Paris-based Institute of Research and Co-ordination of Acoustics and Music.
Wiegold says that the musical software works in a similar way to the loop machines solo guitarists use to accompany themselves, but instead of just playing back the sound, it is more like a live, dynamic accompaniment.
He says it is an exciting development for music because the software can create a sound that a human may not have thought off.
It can also alter pitch, so that the cello sounds more like a double bass, or duplicate the sounds to give the impression that there are 30 cellos supporting him.
"It's very exciting because until recently, pre-programmed music was very one-dimensional," he says.
"Now, because computers are so fast, the computer will respond instantly and will throw something back at you that you may not have thought of, or that you may not have ever heard before. They can change texture, pitch, all sorts of things that until recently, were not possible."
He does not believe computers will ever replace musicians, but instead enhance what they do by combining art with science.
"You can never recreate what a human does. What you can do is bring a computer into the equation and see what happens."
He says the aim at the end of the Barley project is to program a computer so well that it will sound like a live musician.
The project will culminate in an album and a live performance of cello and computer in London next year.
He compares it to the computer-generated music created by DJs on the clubbing scene, but with a classical twist.

Got a burning question? Why not ask the locals! Simply ask your question below
Monmouth Ave
"Weird Place to Be and Live"
Monmouth street is a popular street for college students who are looking for a place that is cheap, considering the expensive prices of most apartments in the area. Monmouth however is in a weird location and kind of a far walk or bike ride from anything. It is half locals and half students who live there. There are much better streets to live and hangout on if you are going to USC and deciding to live near campus.
