Summer Surfboard Pick
HERE'S a secret: the more volume you have under your feet, the faster and harder you can surf on smaller, weaker waves. Foam is your friend and these are six picks for our summer quiver.
There is an inevitable compromise between foam and performance, but this not a linear relationship. More foam can be used creativity by shapers to retain performance on the most gutless slop or to break out on a wild tangent, creating whole new ways of thinking about surfing through design. These shapes cover a numer of surf paradigms, making it not so much a choice of which is 'better,' rather - what do you want to do with it?

This is a beautiful work of art! Did you happen to start with a base pattern for the main dress? I need to make a modest dress and looking for this

Thanks, Lisa! I had a hard time finding a trumpet cut pattern, so I started with a simple dress pattern with a princess seam fitted to the knees. Lengthen the skirt pieces at the knees, fanning each piece out to create the trumpet. Cut the pattern out of muslin and piece it together using a base stitch. Fit it to the bride, taking in where needed and pin it along the side to fit it like a glove along starting at underarm, then waist, hips and thighs. Other areas to adjust fitting are bust along the princess seams, shoulder (a lot of patterns are too wide in the shoulders), and neckline. Feel free to draw directly onto the muslin to note alterations. Adjust your muslin pattern by trimming in the needed areas, remove the base stitching and this will become your custom pattern pieces. If the muslin fitting was way off, then you may want to do a second muslin fitting to ensure your pattern is good. Hope this helps!

Forgive me for this naive question.
We consider the following lemma and its proof in Lang's algebra, Third Ed., published 1999, Chap. 20, section 4, page 784.
Every module is a submodule of an injective module.
For a module $M$, Lang defines its dual to be $M$^ = $Hom(M, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$.
This "dual", if anything, is an algebraic version of the Pontrjagin dual of a topological group $G$, which is $Hom(G, \bf{S}^1)$, where we consider the continuous homomorphisms. $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ is the torsion part of $\bf{S}^1$, and it seems this restriction is done for preventing too big a dual.
The proof goes on and shows that any module is a submodule of an injective module.
However, is there any conceptual explanation of why this works, and why this mysterious appearance of a dual which looks so much like the Pontrjagin dual?

Golfers Win Eighth Straight Title
East Hampton High School's golf coach, Claude Beudert, wasn't sure when the fall began that his squad, which last spring won county and Long Island titles, would repeat as the League VIII champion.
For one, Zach Grossman, the former number-one and the county's individual champion, and John Nolan, the former number-two, had left for college — Grossman to Skidmore and Nolan to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute — and two, a potential starter had decided to play boys volleyball rather than golf.
When Beudert questioned Ian Lynch, this fall's number-one, about the defection, "He said, 'Don't worry, coach, we're okay.' "
And indeed the junior Ivy League hopeful was right. East Hampton's 6.5-2.5 win over Southampton at the Southampton Golf Club on Oct. 12 assured the Bonackers of yet another league championship — their 8th straight and the team's 12th in the past 14 years.
"It's pretty satisfying," Beudert said in recounting the exciting tilt, which was all even after the first five pairings had been played, leaving it all on the shoulders of East Hampton's sixth man, Andrew Winthrop.
"Ian shot a one-under-par 33 on Southampton's front nine, the best score we've had in the 25 years I've been coaching, including Zach," East Hampton's coach said. "Ian beat their number-one, Scott Ricca, by four strokes, and Cameron [Yusko] beat Peter Barnaby by three, so we were up by seven after those two had played."
"John Pizzo shot a 40 at three, but lost to their seventh grader, Christian Oakley, who shot a 36. So, we were only up by three then. At four, Evan Scheuch beat Matt Griffiths by three, so it was all even at that point," Beudert said. "Jimmy McMullan and Nick Acquino halved their match at five, each shooting 41, leaving it all up to Andrew, who had no idea the match was hanging on him. As it turned out, Andrew beat his guy by five shots, with a personal-record 38, which couldn't have come at a better time."
"In individual matches, we won 3.5 and they won 2.5, and then, by substituting Andrew's round for Matt's, we won the three points you're awarded for the lower aggregate score, 192 strokes to 197."
Asked if his players had jumped up and down afterward, Beudert said, "No, but they were about as excited as a golf team can be. . . . When on the bus ride home I reminded Ian of what he'd said at the beginning of the season, he just smiled."
Quite a bit of preparation had gone into the match at Southampton, Beudert said. During the previous weekend, he and Lee Minetree had walked Southampton's nine, whose traps and greens had been altered somewhat since East Hampton last played there. Together, they drew up a book with helpful hints having to do with "yardage, conditions, uphill, downhill, and the greens."
"The day before the match, Jason Jeffries, one of the assistants at Maidstone, worked with our guys on their putting, chipping, and ball-stroking, and then, too, it was nice for us that we'd played a couple of away matches before the one at Southampton. . . . You can become so familiar with your home course that you become complaisant."
"Barry [Raebeck, Southampton's coach] was gracious, though I know he's competitive. It was a case of our winning rather than them losing. When the bell rang, we answered it. To have averaged 38 per man in that competitive situation was great."
"Last year, a league championship was a given. This year . . . we had a bull's-eye on our back. Winning a league championship this year wasn't easy. Though our four returnees and the others who stepped up worked hard and showed a lot of character. John Pizzo wore the shorts he'd worn at Bethpage when we won the county championship last spring. I brought that white tee I'd picked up there as a talisman. I've had it in my pocket every day!"
The 9-0 team as of earlier this week had two matches yet to play, with Pierson at the Noyac Golf and Country Club on Tuesday, and at home at the South Fork Country Club in Amagansett yesterday with Shelter Island, a nonleague opponent.
And the spring tournament? "That can wait," said Beudert. "For now we're enjoying our league championship."

Target audience is both males and females. Many of the competition seem to advertise for the powerlifter, bearded solider look. We wish to avoid that. Making it equally appealing to women of all ages as to men. We wish to appeal to individuals wishing to tone up lose weight and get faster, leaner & stronger.
This will come from an audience wishing to begin exercise and also who already exercise but want to try a new type of exercise.
Looking for a simple symbol or emblem. Involving a kettlebell, and perhaps a man and woman in a kettlebell snatch position.(Google search the position) which is holding a kettlebell overhead with one arm. This can be in silhouette or real image, whichever looks best and most fresh.
The kettlebell can be either the central focus or simply a partial focus, held in the hand of the models.
The bodies should be toned and attractive, with some muscle tone. But not o the point of musclebound. We are looking for a medium build/athletic.
The colours should be mainly blue, kettlebell black. But we are open to suggestions if the look is correct. You are free to be creative in all aspects.

Boulder voters likely will be asked to extend a 0.33 percent sales tax dedicated to open space, but to reallocate one-third of that tax to the city's general fund.
They also could be asked to approve a 0.15 percent short-term sales tax that would raise $4.2 million a year for transportation.
The Boulder City Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to give initial approval to two tax measures that represented a compromise between several competing proposals that gave varying amounts to open space and transportation.
A second reading of the ballot measures is set for a special meeting Aug. 5 dedicated to ballot measures.
The City Council wrestled for several hours on the best way to structure the tax proposals and allocate the funds.
Late Tuesday night, the council had just started discussion of an excise tax of up to 0.15 percent and a sales tax of up to 10 percent on marijuana sales.
Sales taxes dedicated to open space of 0.15 percent and 0.33 percent are set to expire in 2018 and 2019. The city's transportation department and advisory board had brought forward a fee on utility bills to pay for a backlog in road maintenance, but the City Council could not reach a consensus on the proposal.
Debate around those measures led Councilwoman K.C. Becker to propose extending the smaller open space tax and reallocating most of the larger one, which found initial support from other council members last month.
City Council members also supported a short-term transportation tax to bridge the gap before the reallocation would occur in 2019.
At the end of the discussion Tuesday, the smaller open space tax was not headed to the ballot this year.
Many council members were concerned that placing four sales taxes — including the marijuana tax — on the ballot would be too much for voters to bear.
Council members Tim Plass and Suzanne Jones proposed leaving the smaller open space tax for a future election and keeping a larger amount of the 0.33 for open space — up to 0.25 percent.
The compromise proposal put forward by Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum also calls for the open space tax to decline to 0.1 percent in 2030 to free up more money for other city needs as the city completes its planned open space purchases and shifts toward maintenance.
Appelbaum said he supports making that tax permanent, but decisions about whether it should sunset will happen at second reading next month.
Some City Council members said they were concerned about reducing the funding of open space at a set time, but they supported the proposal at first reading.
Becker said she was concerned that open space was taking precedence over other pressing city needs. She listed off the many departments — library, police, parks, transportation — that don't have funding to meet the more modest versions of their master plans, while the open space department is funded above and beyond its "vision plan."
"The reason these taxes expire, the reason we revisit them, is because needs change," she said. "And it's the job of City Council to look at the whole city."
But Councilwoman Lisa Morzel said open space has needs beyond its master plan, such as developing a regional trails system and buying up mineral rights to prevent fracking. She said the gap between the transportation master plan and available funding was so large that transportation should scale back its master plan.
"Do we really need everything in there?" she asked.

Wildlife law enforcement and education efforts receive a boost from SCI
Safari Club International (SCI) is known for supporting conservation and sportsmen, including their Oklahoma Station Chapter's generous support for many initiatives of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Their most recent contribution to Oklahoma sportsmen is a $25,000 commitment to the Department's Operation Game Thief program in the form of $15,000 over three years from the Oklahoma Station Chapter and $10,000 over two years from the national chapter. The donation will be used by the Operation Game Thief program to emphasize education of young and adult Oklahomans in the importance of game laws to the future of wildlife and hunting in Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission voted to accept a $10,000 portion of that amount at its April meeting, which will be used to build an Operation Game Thief exhibit trailer for displaying deer antlers and taxidermy confiscated from poachers by the Wildlife Department. The trailers will be used at events across the state to educate Oklahomans about game laws.
SCI's active Oklahoma Station Chapter held its 26th Annual Awards Banquet and Charity Fundraiser on March 5 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. This premier event was a sell-out, attended by over 500 sportsmen and women; and it featured a live auction where bidders bought guided hunts around the globe, ranging from waterfowl hunts in Oklahoma and a variety of whitetail deer hunts in several states and Canada to big game hunts in Africa, Europe, the South Pacific, and South America, and fishing trips from Alaska to Patagonia. Other auction items included beautiful bronze wildlife sculptures and other outdoor art, items especially for ladies, firearms, hunting gear and much more.
"This was a heart-warming turnout of Oklahoma sportsmen and women and many of their out-of-state friends," said Mike Mistelske, retiring president of SCI's Oklahoma Station Chapter. "We were literally sold out weeks in advance — a first in the 26-year history of this event — and a testimony to the strong commitment of today's Oklahoma hunters to continuing our hunting heritage. Funding from this one event is largely what enables us to support ODWC projects throughout the year, and that so many Oklahomans turned out for our banquet and auction bodes well for our future. We are already planning the 2012 event, again at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum the first Saturday in March."
The Oklahoma Station Chapter of Safari Club International offers support and funding to many local conservation efforts that benefit the sportsmen and wildlife of Oklahoma. The chapter is a major supporter of many projects conducted by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, including the Hunters Against Hunger program that coordinates the annual distribution of over 30,000 of pounds of venison to needy families; the Wildlife Department's Oklahoma Wildlife Expo, which educates tens of thousands of Oklahomans each year on the value of wildlife and the outdoors to quality of life in Oklahoma; and the Department's Shotgun Training Education Program (STEP), which introduces both youth and adults to shotgun shooting techniques and the proper handling of firearms.

The Commission also voted to set new dates for the state's antelope archery season.
This fall, the antelope archery season will start Oct. 1 and will run for 14 days, whereas the season had previously been held in September.
According to Alan Peoples, chief of wildlife for the Wildlife Department, the state has always had antelope in the Panhandle and the Wildlife Department works to provide maximum hunting opportunities. Like with elk in southwest Oklahoma, the Department works with landowners in antelope-populated areas of the Panhandle to address depredation concerns.
Up until 2009, antelope hunting in Oklahoma had been limited to those offered through the Wildlife Department's controlled hunts program, in which a select number of hunters are drawn for an antelope hunt, or through a limited number of landowner permits. Antelope hunts drawn through the controlled hunts program are "once-in-a-lifetime" rifle hunts, meaning that once a hunter draws out for the hunt, they become ineligible for future controlled antelope hunts. But in 2009, the first over-the-counter antelope licenses were sold for a 14-day archery season that did not require hunters to be drawn to hunt and that hunters could participate in year after year. The season was held before the completion of some of the once-in-a-lifetime hunts.
While the open archery season hunts have been successful, landowners and constituents have requested that the Wildlife Department move the archery season back to allow hunters who draw the once-in-a-lifetime controlled hunts the first chance to go afield.
The Wildlife Department actively monitors its antelope herd. Recent aerial counts have shown as many as 3,100 antelope in the hunt area, and hunters harvested only 257 antelope last year.
"We're harvesting less than 10 percent of our antelope herd," Peoples said. "And our antelope herd is doing great."
According to Peoples, up to 20 percent of the herd could be harvested annually without concerns.

In other business, the Commission approved a memorandum of agreement with the University of Central Oklahoma to continue the Project WILD program. Project WILD is a wildlife-based conservation and environmental education program that was conducted by the Wildlife Department for more than 20 years and has been operated by UCO, with funding from the Wildlife Department, for the past three years.
"In those three years, we've seen the program grow," said Mark Herrin, assistant vice president of wellness and sport at UCO.
Herrin said the program has been incorporated into the academic curriculum of college students who are studying to become educators.
"We're actually training the teachers now before they go into the field, and we think that is a real plus," he said. "In addition to that, we are continuing to work with teachers who are already in the classroom. This is another opportunity for them to bring a cutting edge program to the classroom."
The Commission also voted to support the concept of a partnership with the Medicine Park Museum of Natural Sciences in southwest Oklahoma. The Medicine Park Museum of Natural Sciences is a native wildlife zoo, aquarium and botanical gardens scheduled to open in 2012 or 2013 at Medicine Park. The museum is expected to become a component of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge eco-tourism appeal as well as a supplement to education in southwest Oklahoma and family destination. The future site of the museum will be located on Hwy 49 near the entrance to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
"Our mission is conservation through education, bringing people, nature and science together," said Doug Kemper, executive director for the museum.
The museum will focus on educating visitors about conservation through living exhibits, wildlife biology, hands-on activities, global issues and more in a rustic southwest Oklahoma setting.
The Wildlife Department will most likely provide funding for construction of exhibits at the museum focusing on the mission of the Wildlife Department and in-kind services for the museum.
The Commission also voted to approve a two-year extension on its May 2008 resolution to close to the waters of the state to commercial turtle harvest. The moratorium had been put in place to allow researchers at Southeastern Oklahoma State and at Oklahoma State universities to investigate impacts of commercial harvest in Oklahoma.
The Commission also heard a presentation from Colin Berg, information and education supervisor for the Wildlife Department, on the agency's various education programs such as Oklahoma National Archery in the Schools (OKNASP), aquatic resources education, hunter education and the Explore Bowhunting program, all of which are designed to introduce people — and especially youth — to the outdoors, conservation, and hunting and fishing.
The Wildlife Department works to implement these education programs into schools, and according to Berg, educators have success incorporating the programs into their class work. The Oklahoma National Archery in the Schools Program, for example, has been introduced to thousands of students in about 250 schools across the state. Over 1,150 students recently participated in the OKNASP state shoot at the State Fair Park in Oklahoma City after a season of practice at their schools.
Finally, the Commission heard a presentation on the elk population status on private lands in southwest Oklahoma. Two distinct elk herds have been identified on private lands in Comanche, Caddo and Kiowa counties by animals that left the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and established on private lands. The Wildlife Department works with those landowners to manage the elk to provide hunting opportunity and manage depredation impacts.
Rod Smith, southwest region wildlife supervisor for the Wildlife Department, said the agency meets periodically with landowners in the area to discuss their needs and desires and how those fit into sound conservation of the private lands elk herds. Through the years, Smith said the Wildlife Department has liberalized private lands elk hunting considerably, resulting in 55 days of open cow elk hunting each year as well as opportunities to harvest mature bulls.
The Wildlife Conservation Commission is the eight-member governing board of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. The Wildlife Commission establishes state hunting and fishing regulations, sets policy for the Wildlife Department and indirectly oversees all state fish and wildlife conservation activities. Commission members are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate.
The next scheduled Commission meeting is set for 9 a.m., May 2, at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation headquarters (auditorium), located at the southwest corner of 18th and North Lincoln, Oklahoma City.
Controlled Hunts application online now
Offering once-in-a-lifetime elk and antelope hunts, highly sought-after buck hunts, and a range of other quality deer, turkey, quail and coon hunts, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's controlled hunts program is a valuable resource for sportsmen, and now is the time for hunters to submit applications.
The online application process takes just a few minutes and must be completed through the Wildlife Department's website at wildlifedepartment.com. The cost is $5, and applicants have until May 15 to apply.
"For just $5, you can get drawn for a bull elk hunt in Oklahoma's rugged Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge," said Melinda Sturgess-Streich, assistant director of administration and finance for the Wildlife Department. "The same $5 can put your name in the hat for an antelope hunt in the Panhandle, a deer hunt in some of the best habitat in the state, or even a unique gobbler hunt. You just can't beat this opportunity."
The controlled hunts program offers a wide variety of highly desirable hunts through a random drawing. Opportunities offered through the program include hunts on Department or other government-owned or managed lands where unrestricted hunting would pose safety concerns or where overharvest might occur.
All applicants, including lifetime license holders, must pay the $5 application fee to enter the controlled hunts drawings. The fee is paid only once per person per year regardless of the number of categories entered.
Applications are offered online through a secure process that only accepts applications once they have been filed correctly, and a print-out confirmation page is available for sportsmen to document their submitted application.
For complete application instructions, including tips on enhancing your chances of being selected as well as a full listing of available hunts for elk, deer, antelope, turkey, quail and raccoon, log on to http://www.wildlifedepartment.com
Lake records filling the books this spring
With the onset of spring comes the onset of increased fishing activity, and with that comes increased entries into the books of Oklahoma's lake record fish program.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's lake record fish program was initiated in 2008 to recognize big fish from certain lakes and the anglers who catch them.
The program has grown from about a dozen lakes at its inception to more than 40 lakes today. So while anglers all over the state can go fishing just for leisure, they also have a chance of putting their name in a record book.
Species eligible for spots in the lake records book include blue, channel and flathead catfish and largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass in addition to crappie, paddlefish, striped bass, striped bass hybrids, sunfish (combined) walleye/saugeye and white bass. Minimum weights are set for each species and are detailed on the Wildlife Department's Web site at wildlifedepartment.com.
Anglers who catch a potential record from a participating lake should contact designated business locations around the lake that are enrolled as lake record keepers. A listing of official lake record keepers is available on wildlifedepartment.com.
Once it has been determined that an angler has landed a record fish, the media is notified and the public will be able to view information about the catch on the Wildlife Department's Web site at wildlifedepartment.com.
An easily-operated search feature is available on the website that allows those interested to view a wealth of lake record fish information, ranging from the size of record fish caught to what kind of bait or rod and reel was used to catch them.
All past and current state record fish are registered in the lake record fish program as records for their respective lakes.

Detailed maps feature Oklahoma public hunting land in new WMA Atlas
Thousands of Oklahoma sportsmen have already discovered the usefulness of the new Wildlife Management Area Atlas from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and are using the 100-page book to explore Oklahoma's public hunting land.
Back by popular demand, this page-by-page guide to Oklahoma's public lands features topographical maps of almost every wildlife management area in the state.
"The new wildlife atlas is tough, durable, and will show hunters and fisherman where to go and how to get there," said Erik Bartholomew, wildlife biologist for the Wildlife Department. "This is a great reference for any hunter or fisherman using our state-managed areas."
Each alphabetically listed color map depicts an Oklahoma WMA, using symbols to show roads, parking areas, designated campsites, food plots, rivers, ponds, wetland development units, non-ambulatory zones, boat ramps, area entrances, shooting ranges, county boundaries and more. Additionally, acreage and contact information for each area is listed on the same page as the map. If a hunter is interested in visiting a WMA, the atlas provides all the tools needed to understand the area, its topography and its boundaries, and a detailed set of driving directions to each WMA is listed in the back of the atlas. Additionally, index pages show where each featured WMA is located in the state, and a glossary of terms helps sportsmen distinguish differences between land usage terms such as "wildlife management area" (WMA), "game management area" (GMA), "national recreation area" (NRA), "wetland development unit" (WDU), "waterfowl refuge portion" (WRP) and others.
The "Oklahoma Wildlife Management Area Atlas" can be purchased for $25, which includes a free one-year subscription to Outdoor Oklahoma magazine, the official magazine of the Wildlife Department. Outdoor Oklahoma features everything related to hunting, fishing, wildlife watching and conservation in Oklahoma. Readers can catch the first glimpse of the Wildlife Department's annual "Big Game Report, get insider tips on fishing from the magazine's annual "Anglers' Guide," and read a range of articles and news about the outdoors in Oklahoma. Game meat recipes, how-to articles, stunning photography and more are all included.
The new atlases are available at the Wildlife Department headquarters in Oklahoma City (1801 N. Lincoln Blvd) and the Department's Jenks office (300 S. Aquarium Dr). Copies can also be ordered by phone at (405) 521-3856, and order forms can be downloaded from wildlifedepartment.com and mailed in with a check. To order by mail, send a check or money order for $25 along with an "Outdoor Store" order form from wildlifedepartment.com to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, P.O. Box 53465 Oklahoma City, OK 73152 (specify address to which atlas should be mailed and, if different, the address to which the subscription to Outdoor Oklahoma magazine should be credited).

Fish identification workshops in southeast Oklahoma to benefit even experienced anglers
While most fish are easily identified, even an experienced angler may need help at times determining the exact species of fish they have caught. At two upcoming fish identification workshops in southeast Oklahoma, personnel with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation will focus on instructing adult anglers to distinguish between a number of commonly misidentified fish.
Small subtleties, unusual coloring among individuals, out-of-the-norm features and occasional hybridization are just a few of the things that could make species identification a challenge.
"Most people get their knowledge of fish from family, friends, neighbors and fellow anglers," said Don Groom, southeast region fisheries supervisor for the Wildlife Department. "For the most part, this knowledge is 'close enough.'"
Still, the workshops will cover areas of special concern to Oklahoma anglers, such as subtle differences in fish species that have different sets of regulations. Species like black bass and black bass hybrids, for example, may not always appear different to the untrained eye, but knowing the difference can impact daily harvest limits for anglers. For example, largemouth bass may look similar to spotted bass, but in most cases daily limits set for largemouths but no daily limits on spotted bass.
"During the workshop, anglers will be encouraged to ask questions along the way and should expect to leave with more confidence in their ability to identify a fish, and more importantly, be able to pass better than 'close enough' information on to their family, friends, neighbors and fellow anglers," Groom said.
Groom and his fellow Wildlife Department fisheries personnel will be on hand to discuss the differences between black bass, but also others such white bass, yellow bass, striped bass, hybrids and catfish. They will also cover differences between snakeheads and bowfins.
One workshop will be held at 7 p.m. April 25 at the Broken Bow Library, and the other will be held at 7 p.m. April 26 at the Hugo Library. The workshops are free, and registration is not required.
For more information, contact the Wildlife Department's southeast region office at (918) 297-0153 or Don Groom at (918) 686-3249.
Birding and Heritage Festival offers outdoor fun in Alfalfa County
April 15 – 16 marks the annual Cherokee Birding and Heritage Festival held throughout Alfalfa County in northwest Oklahoma. The event features activities in multiple locations with one common goal — enjoying what nature has to offer.
The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge near Jet is hosting a full weekend of family fun at this year's Birding & Crystal Festival. For more than 11 years, this event has drawn crowds of people, and this year it will serve as an exciting rendezvous point for the Birding and Heritage Festival. Activities will range from archery and casting contests to crystal digging contests, birding tours and much more. The refuge's visitor center will be open all weekend, featuring a number of crystal exhibits detailing this unique natural gem in northwest Oklahoma.
Star-gazing, nature tours and opportunities for wildlife photography, plus a wealth of outdoor activities like trapshooting with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, reptile rehabilitation with live snakes and lizards, and birdwatching around the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge will be available with a family atmosphere.
As part of the weekend event, families can learn about the lesser prairie chicken at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Byron Watchable Wildlife Area. They can also go on a prairie chicken scavenger hunt and have the opportunity to make a bluebird house to take home with them. In the evening, they can look for bats with Alabaster Caverns State Park and listen to their echolocation around the nature center.
For directions to Byron Hatchery WWA, log on to the Wildlife Department's website at http://www.wildlifedepartment.com or call (405) 990-4977. For more information about the Festival, call (580) 626-4794 or log on to travelok.com.
State record
paddlefish reeled in this spring
A paddlefish that was caught April 10 has become a new state record fish, pushing aside a record held since 2003 and proving that there are always bigger fish to catch.
Aaron Stone of Pawhuska was snagging around 11 a.m. April 10 in the Arkansas River when he hooked the large fish, which he finally reeled in after 40-minutes of reeling and what he said was a 15-foot slide down an embankment. The "spoonbill" measured 55 inches in length, 41.75 inches in girth and weighed 125-lb., 7 oz.
This has been Stone's first year to try fishing for paddlefish, and at first, the 21-year-old angler didn't realize just how big of a fish he had caught. His father-in-law, an experienced paddlefish angler, encouraged him to have the fish weighed.
The previous state record paddlefish was reeled in from the Kaw tailwaters by Shane McCleary in April 2003.
Snagging is the primary method for catching paddlefish, since the fish eat mainly microscopic zooplankton and therefore are not inclined to bite on lifelike lures. During the spring, paddlefish swim upstream from lakes in rivers to spawn, resulting in concentrated numbers of fish that anglers can snag more easily.
Paddlefish routinely weigh over 30 lbs., with females taking eight to 10 years to mature to breeding age and males taking six to eight years. Because they are slow to mature, careful management of paddlefish populations is critical, and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's paddlefish management program is supplying biologists with information they need to make important decisions to benefit the species. The Department uses its paddlefish research and processing center in northeast Oklahoma to gather harvest data on fish voluntarily supplied by anglers. In exchange for biological information from fish, the Department cleans and packages fish for anglers to take home and eat.
When asked if he would continue fishing for paddlefish, Stone's answer comes as no surprise to those who have experienced spoonbill fishing.
"Oh, yeah," he said. "We're hooked on it."
For a complete list of record fish and the procedures regarding certifying state record fish, consult the current "Oklahoma Fishing Guide" or log on to wildlifedepartment.com. Anglers who believe they may have hooked a record fish must weigh the fish on an Oklahoma State Department of Agriculture certified scale, and a Wildlife Department employee must verify the weight.

Holdenville angler lands two lake records from same lake in one month's time
Holdenville Lake is on a roll, and so is Allan Brooks of the city of Holdenville. On April 16, Brooks caught an 11.4-lb. largemouth bass that measured 23.5 inches in length and 20.5 inches in girth. The fish is a new lake record for Holdenville, taking the spot from a 9.8-lb. bass caught last month by none other than Brooks himself.
For a lake under 1,000 acres, Holdenville is proving to be a hotspot for anglers. In May of 2010, Scott Allen Babb caught a 9.1-lb. largemouth bass, and Holdenville also has yielded high numbers of bass in electrofishing surveys by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation in recent years.
The three big bass caught at Holdenville in the last year may only be a few among many that anglers have pulled from the lake — many that Oklahoma anglers may never get a chance to celebrate. But thanks to the Wildlife Department's Lake Record Fish Program, Holdenville Lake and the fish it produces are starting to get the recognition they deserve, as well as more than 40 other lakes across the state.
"In the past, you didn't hear about a lot nice fish caught from lakes unless you knew the angler, or unless the fish is some kind of state record," said Nels Rodefeld, information and education chief for the Wildlife Department. "The lake record fish program is changing that, giving anglers the opportunity to recognize big fish and the lakes that produced them, not to mention the anglers who catch them."
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's lake record fish program was initiated in 2008 to recognize big fish from certain lakes and the anglers who catch them.
The program has grown from about a dozen lakes at its inception to more than 40 lakes today. So while anglers all over the state can go fishing just for leisure, they also have a chance of putting their name in a record book.

"Oklahoma Hunting Guide" ad deadline set; new design will launch this summer
J.F. Griffin Publishing has set May 18 as the deadline for advertising in the "2011-2012 Oklahoma Hunting Guide." Advertisers will find that the new publication will look and feel different when it arrives at license vendor locations across the state, thanks to a brand-new layout and upgraded design.
"We are completely re-designing and upgrading our regulation publications this year," said Ben Davis, information and education specialist for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "The paper quality of the Guide will be a glossy stock used for magazines, which will support a much greater range of color and graphics in the book. Both regulation content and advertising will look great in the new Hunting Guide."
The Wildlife Department is partnering with J. F. Griffin Publishing to produce the new guide.
"We are excited to partner with J. F. Griffin Publishing to produce official hunting, fishing and waterfowl guides for the state of Oklahoma," said Davis, who is in charge of coordinating production of the guide. "Griffin is now our exclusive regulation publishing partner, and will provide printing and design services to the agency along with selling advertising space in the regulations."
Advertising sales in the "Oklahoma Hunting Guide" allow the Wildlife Department to save money on printing costs – money that can be spent on other projects close to the heart of outdoors-enthusiasts.
"The Wildlife Department accepts advertising for our hunting and fishing guides in order to offset printing costs and deliver a high-quality, low-cost publication to Oklahoma hunters and anglers," Davis said. "Because advertising revenue allows publishers to offer competitive prices to state agencies, the ODWC can provide more services to our constituents thanks to a decrease in printing costs. This means an increase in funding for fishing access, youth programs and habitat work on public hunting areas."
The Wildlife Department receives no general state tax revenues and is funded by sportsmen and women through the purchase of hunting and fishing licenses and federal excise taxes on sporting goods.
This year, 400,000 Hunting Guides will be printed and distributed to license dealers, outdoor stores and municipal businesses across the state. It is the most widely distributed outdoors publication in the state and is distributed statewide around Aug. 1. It also can be found online on the Department's web site, wildlifedepartment.com.
"The new Hunting Guide will still provide clear and accurate information about Oklahoma's hunting seasons, but will also feature excellent visuals and modern layout and design," Davis said.
The Wildlife Department has a contract with Griffin Publishing to oversee all advertising for the guide and publish the guide. Ad rates start around $375 for a classified box ad and range up to about $11,000 for a full-color page. Promotional advertising does not constitute endorsement by the Wildlife Department.
For additional advertising information concerning the "Oklahoma Hunting Guide," contact Jeremy Garnish at J. F. Griffin Publishing, (413) 884-1001, extension 101.
Two big fish
remind us now is the time for fishing
Two big bass surveyed recently by fisheries biologists with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation are serving as reminders that now through the next few months is a good time to be bass fishing, and that you never know where the next big fish might be lurking.
Each spring, fisheries biologists use electrofishing techniques to survey bass populations at lakes across the state, and this year biologists surveyed one bass from Lake Arcadia that weighed 12.22 lbs. and another from Lake Watonga that weighed in at over 11 lbs. Several other fish in the nine to 10-lb. range were surveyed as well. The fish were released in good condition.
"Good bass fishing can be found just about anywhere in Oklahoma, even close to the metro," said Barry Bolton, chief of fisheries for the Wildlife Department.
As the name suggests, electrofishing surveys use electric current to "stun" fish in a specific area of a lake, causing them to surface long enough for biologists to collect biological data. A short time later, the fish recover from the shock and swim on their way. Last spring, electrofishing survey results from the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation showed that even small lakes under 1,000 acres produced high numbers of bass during the survey
Other data provided in the spring electrofishing survey is the number of bass over 14 inches that are surveyed per hour and the heaviest bass recorded from each lake. Though factors like inclement weather or prolonged high water levels can prevent biologists from surveying some lakes from year to year, the data collected provides useful information for biologists and for anglers planning their next getaway.
Biologists employ different methods of data collection depending on the species they are studying as well as the time of year. For example, springtime electrofishing is especially effective for surveying black bass, as bass spend more time in shallow water during the spring than at other times of the year and are therefore more susceptible to electric shock. During the summer, bass may be too deep in the water for electrofishing to effectively survey large numbers of fish.
Saugeye are more vulnerable to electrofishing in the fall, and other species, such as crappie, can be captured and surveyed through methods such as trap netting. Crappie tend to perceive the nets as underwater structure and are likely to concentrate in such areas, making them easier to catch and survey.
Survey data and other information collected by Wildlife Department fisheries personnel can be used to help manage fish populations, establish regulations and increase fishing opportunities across the state. To learn more about fishing in Oklahoma, log on to wildlifedepartment.com.

Northeast Oklahoma flooding may hinder some fishing activities over the weekend; other fishing opportunities unaffected
Oklahoma has been receiving long-awaited rainfall across the state this week, and along with it have been numerous weather advisories, watches and severe weather warnings in counties across the state. Additionally, high water levels at lakes and rivers in eastern and northeast Oklahoma may be affecting fishing opportunities this weekend. Officials with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation are urging anglers to be aware of the water conditions and possible closures at their favorite fishing locations and use caution when fishing locations with high water levels.
"The Corps of Engineers may close some areas for the next week or so because of high waters," said Barry Bolton, chief of fisheries for the Wildlife Department. "Lake Tenkiller is 22 feet up and rising. Ft. Gibson is 11 feet up and rising, and the Arkansas River navigation system is flowing 80,000-160,000 cubic feet per second. These are all hazardous conditions for boating and fishing, and anglers need to use caution. They also need to make sure their favorite areas aren't closed before they head out to the water."
Paddlefish angling is popular this time of year in northeast Oklahoma, but rainfall has put boat ramps at Twin Bridges State Park and Miami City Park — two popular paddlefish angling destinations — underwater, all but shutting down paddlefish angling activity in the area.
"There are still plenty of lakes and waters elsewhere in the state where anglers can enjoy good fishing this weekend," Bolton said. "We just want to make sure everyone is aware of the conditions of their favorite spot before trying to fish in high waters. If a spot is too flooded to fish, you should avoid that area and fish a different spot. Those fish will be there after the flooding recedes."

Recently, E.A. (Al) Vastyan, founding chair of the Department of Humanities at Penn State College of Medicine died. He held the position for 21 years.
Founding Dean George Harrell recruited Vastyan from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he served as chaplain to the medical students and director of the William Temple Foundation for Humanistic Studies. Because of the historical relationship between medicine and religion and the presence of diverse religions in the area, Harrell aspired for the chair and first professor of the fledging department to be a member of the clergy with experience serving a medical community. Vastyan fit the bill. Upon completing an honors undergraduate of Dennison University, Vastyan received his bachelor of divinity degree cum laude from Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Mass., and pursued further studies in programs at the University of Southampton (England), the University of Chicago, and Harvard University.
Vastyan organized a Department of Humanities, following Dean Harrell's vision, adjacent to the novel departments of Behavioral Science and Family Medicine on the ground floor, making them easily accessible for people in the College as well as for the general public. As no such academic department yet existed, nor were medical humanities or bioethics formally recognized as fields of scholarship, Vastyan worked with a blank slate in creating a vision. Over time, the department grew in faculty size and its national reputation. Nearly a half-century later, it remains a solid foundational basis of medical education in Hershey as well as having been emulated, at least in part, within medical education communities throughout the United States and across the globe.
Vastyan believed that sickness, diagnosis and medical care were inevitably rooted in a personal and cultural context. The early humanities curriculum aimed at highlighting the human values connected with health, illness and medical care; the moral and ethical questions underpinning medical practice and research; the development of a critical awareness and judgment in diagnosis, therapy and research; the religious ramifications of medical concerns; the nature of the patient-physician encounter; the history of illness, health, and medicine; and the political and economic infrastructure of health care delivery.
Vastyan crusaded for humanities in the establishment of a national organization, the Society for Health and Human Values, which was subsumed within the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities in 1998. Recognized by colleagues at many institutions, Vastyan was awarded Fulbright and Danforth Fellowships and received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Vastyan retired from Penn State Hershey in December of 1990.

As for as i know, there isn't an actual tsundere among the heroines.
edit: browsed through episode 2. I have less to complain about the pacing of this episode, because it actually takes it's time to establish the characters (mostly Satsuki though) and the settings a little more. Eventhough i would have liked that the anime gave Isara a little screentime (and stop cutting away some of her story).

Its not necessary since Chisato's feelings the Yuki is somewhat like an open secret. Maybe, it just need a little more "awkward scene" to get this two together realized the need for each other.

Yeah Hope is dwindling. Hopefully we get at least enough cutesy moments from her and I'm not talking about crotchdives.
Well they could have easily made Satsuki to be tsundere. Give her rich princess attitude and need to keep her image. Twin tails are reserved for lolis. And you get generic tsundere.
Though to be honest even if this anime fails in terms of romance it may be carried by club antics alone.
P.S. And yeah tsunderes don't let fondle their breasts unpunished.

This series is one of the more enjoyable harem animes for this season. It has a nice premise and likeable characters. The MC is also likeable as well, which is usually not the case in most harem animes.
As of episode 2, I like Satsuki a lot. She seems like a really understanding, intelligent, and playful character. On top of that, she is also good looking. Sadly, though, in most harem animes that only has one winner in the end, the intelligent type usually loses out. It seems like the number one qualification for harem heroine is to be ditzy to some capacity.
I also like Isara, as she reminds me a lot of Hare from Guilty Crown. She is definitely the underdog in this series, who tries really hard. It makes for a pleasant personality. Unfortunately, that also means that she will most likely lose out. She is also not getting very much storyline either.
Of course, the number one most prominent person with the most screen time is Chisato. She fits the profile of energetic, aloof at times, character, who cares a lot for the MC. In most harem animes, that usually translates to the winner in the end. I'm not even sure if anyone else even has a chance at the moment.
As for the last 2 major heroines, Mifuyu and Michiru, they just don't stand out or draw any major flags for them to be even remotely considered as final candidates. Unless the storyline changes considerably from this point forward, the ending is sort of predictable. Nonetheless, I will probably enjoy the process from what I have seen so far of this series.

Of all the main heroines shown so far, Chisato is my least favorite. I don't like her at all. Why am I not surprised Japan?
I did like Satsuki but this episode already made the intentions of this show clear with those pretty damn obvious flags.
This wasn't as awful as episode 1, but still pretty damn poor. AIC you're fired.

Ahh, Oojima, you do what so many other male characters can't do in animes, saying no and sticking with it. I'm glad he's one of those characters that doesn't necessarily get pushed around by all the other females around him and has the sense to object to something he doesn't like and stick with it.
Oh, and I do love Michiru with her cat ears and straight to the point answers If only they didn't flash out the service she gives us.

Lol, I played the dream sequence like 5 times. Especially at around 3:04 when Chisato asks for him to reach out; chib!Chisato is just too darn cute. Bob head to one side, reach out her hands, bob head to other side while closing eyes? Show is gonna kill me with moe overdose lol.
Of course most interesting part is the choco. Why choco? Why break it in half with protagonist eating it? Why do it in his frigging room? MUST KNOW. XD

That was much better than first episode. I was pleasantly surprised to see Chisato not hit Oojima after he groped her. I didn't expect him to kick her off her bed like that, either.
Hm, while this episode definitely did ship Chisato with Oojima, I think she may just be central to the plot (her.. dislike(?) of chocolate + the fact that 'chocolate' is in the title of the show'). I think getting Chisato to deal with her chocolate related problem may be what all of the routes have in common in the V/N? (I haven't played it or read any spoilers about it; just simply guessing here)
Having said that, I'd love to see Oojima end up with Chisato.. but.. Satsuki is fine, too. Oh well. If he does end up with Chisato, I'll make sure to comfort Satsuki in her time of sorrow. Dem hips, man. Dem hips.
Did anybody else notice that the underside of Chisato's hair is a little.. green? s:

Flashback to their childhood was sweet.
So their club will be shut down if they don't run for and win the elections.
No surprise they were pushing Yuuki to run for student council president.
Those girls sure like their club, but I it's no wonder ^^
Oojima seriously lacked resolve and motivation.
Shinonome made a difference and managed to persuade him to fight.

acctx, if those numbers are accurate then I agree totally.
My kites, board, car, car maintenance, car insurance and mountain bike all together costs less than what you pay to mountain bike... ya i got the cheap stuff.
I'm not so sure about the danger part tho... last time mountain biking I banged my elbow on rock... this summer I wacked both shoulders hard when I crashed on hard packed sand kiting (board fetched up in shallow water)... probably about the same dangerous between the two for me... also got banged up knees and elbows snow kiting. Tough one to call though.

Night Moves | 04/02/13
We are very pleased to announce that the new single "Country Queen" will be released by Night Moves on March 25th to coincide with the release of their debut album, 'Colored Emotions'. The album initially received a US release in October 2012, and now the band's bringing it to Europe.
Watch the video for "Country Queen" below:
From the beginning, "Country Queen" radiates a warmth and fluidity that continues into the lavish waves of sound that occur right up until the single's tender conclusion. Similar words can be said of the rest of 'Colored Emotions' as it roams across atmospheric soundscapes, effortlessly blending bluesy, wholesome Americana with psychedelic bursts.
Given the album's feel, it's unsurprising that the band worked with producer/mixer Thom Monahan (Vetiver, Beachwood Sparks, Devendra Banhart) to tighten and brighten the album. However, it's the album's apparent maturity that separates it from many debut releases.
The core members of Night Moves, guitarist/lead vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, grew up together in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota and spent their younger years rotating in and out of one another's musical orbits. After a couple of promising false starts, the trio re-coalesced in 2009 in earnest as Night Moves and began recording. Since then, the band has been joined by drummer Jared Isabella completing their live set-up.
Colored Emotions will be available digitally (WIG296D), on CD (WIGCD296) and on vinyl (WIGLP296) from March 18th. Pre-order HERE.

It's common knowledge that Andy Warhol was an enigma. David Bailey's 1973 documentary mediation on him for the BBC, shown on Friday at the Hamptons International Film Festival, does not change that perception and yet it does manage to further our understanding of his world and reveals some glimpses of his humanity.
Undertaken at a time when his Pop Art icons were already firmly established in the art world, with their work then earning tens of thousands of dollars rather than the tens of millions now achieved at auction, "Warhol" is a look into Warhol's role as filmmaker and his Factory studio Superstars, who played key roles in his life and his art.
One thing remains clear: The artist spent as much time crafting and maintaining his image as he did his art.
Mr. Bailey, a photographer and sometime filmmaker whose early life was the basis for the protagonist in the Michelangelo Antonioni film "Blow-Up," was at the festival primarily to speak on a panel with Bruce Weber on Saturday night about his latest effort, a film called "Beaton by Bailey" on Cecil Beaton. Mr. Weber was in the audience at the Friday night screening and discussion, along with Calvin Klein, the clothing designer, art collector, and friend of Warhol.
Warhol had a long association with the South Fork and owned an estate in Montauk. The film was made prior to that, but parts were still captured here, with Warhol on the beach walking a dog and mounting a horse in his own unusual way. Mr. Bailey could not remember where the footage was taken, but in the film both Bailey and Warhol refer to visiting "Jane's house." Jane is presumably Jane Holzer, a Factory Superstar and friend of Warhol's who at the time owned a Meadow Lane property in Southampton that Warhol was known to frequent.
Mr. Klein purchased the property a few years ago and leveled the castle-like structure that a later owner had erected and dubbed Dragon Head. Mr. Bailey photographed Ms. Holzer for British Vogue when she was modeling in the 1960s, which somehow completes the circle.
"Warhol" was a complex and expensive production, involving hours of film footage shot every day for three weeks and often with Warhol nowhere to be found. Mr. Bailey said he incorporated a stand-in to function as Warhol, citing sphinx-like aphorisms in his stead to save money and offer some content and context for his film. When Warhol was around, Mr. Bailey said interviewing him "was like shooting a bullet in silk" and he often said nothing.
Still, there are some moments where you catch the artist appearing to leave his shell, laughing or yawning at the actors making his films, and other little moments in which a glimmer of a real person shows through the mask.
There is an interlude in a car on the way to the beach during which Mr. Bailey is driving and Warhol is seated way too close to him even though the front seat is otherwise empty. The discussion there is mostly about why he chose to sit in the middle, which was to avoid being hurt in a car crash, a subject he knew much about from his own artistic explorations of it.
He said the car crash victims struck him in the same wayhe thought about unnamed people who invented buttons or who worked on the pyramids in Egypt. It seemed easier to capture this idea in "painting the people who die in car crashes, because you never know who they are." As ludicrous as this sounds, his delivery of it feels true, and why not? He also offered that he stopped painting because "I bought a camera and a camera seemed so much easier."
Other more personal moments in the film come near the end, when the artist and the filmmaker are talking in bed together. "We went to bed, but it was a joke," Mr. Bailey said. "He said, if you go to bed with me, I'll make the film." Warhol is fully clothed, at least on top. He tells the filmmaker that he is self-conscious about his chest because of the scars he had from bullet wounds. Five years prior to the filming in 1968, Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas, an acquaintance of his who was angry because he would not produce her screenplay.
There are recollections by Factory regulars of the shooting, of Warhol pleading with her to stop, and his recovery. He described his chest as an "Yves St. Laurent dress, it's all stitches," but said the only thing that changed as a result of the shooting is that he didn't take off his clothes after it. Others in the film said he was gentler because of it.
Although made for British television, the piece still caused a controversy in its time. Mr. Bailey noted, "They had to change the law to show it." One reason was that the film surpassed the allowable limit of three instances of the F-word.
The other reason was a segment with Brigid Berlin, one of the stars of Warhol's films and an actual Factory employee who sat at the front desk and transcribed interviews. She was also known for her Yves Klein-like creations in which she would apply paint to her breasts and press them to canvas, something she does in the film while she speaks to Warhol on the phone. "It got banned," he said in his Cockney accent, "because Brigid painted with her titties."

One onlooker who was no doubt conflicted during the Colorado Rapids' 3-1 win over Toronto FC on Sunday was Julien Baudet.
The French center back was obviously happy that his team won but was still smarting over the fact that he could play no part in the game after his sending off against Kansas City the previous week.
The ejection in the Wizards game was yet another obstacle the defender has had to overcome since signing for the Rapids last summer.
This season, he wasn't able to get on the field until 10 minutes from the end of the home opener against Chicago following an end of preseason calf injury. Last year, he suffered a broken arm against the New York Red Bulls on his home debut and was out for more than a month before returning and scoring the winner against Houston.
It has very much been a stop-start career for Baudet so far in Colorado.
A tall, physical player who honed his game in England with the likes of Notts County and Crewe Alexandra, there's no doubt Baudet is struggling to adapt to some of the more stringent demands of refereeing in the MLS. The Frenchman points out that he has been sent off twice in just 15 MLS games. He had only previously been sent off five times in 340 games during his career in France and England.
"I had a chat with the manager," Baudet said. "He does not want to take the physical presence out of me because that is my game but I have to be more careful because I don't want a reputation as a dirty player. What has reassured me when I look at my record is that I don't come off as a dirty player or as a player that loses his head."
Challenges and different refereeing approaches aside, Baudet said he's enjoying his time in Colorado and the U.S. and wants to league to be right up there in terms of quality with some of the European leagues. He said he was energized by the recent talk about such fellow countrymen as Thierry Henry and Robert Pirès coming to play in the U.S. but warned that European players cannot come over and coast.
"MLS has some very good players, very good talent," Baudet said. "It would be awesome to have those type of players coming in as long as they bring something to MLS. As long as players don't come here for the sake of it. You want to add quality to the team and to MLS."
In frequent touch with players he knows well from his time in France and England, Baudet said he also often discusses players in Europe with the coaching staff in Colorado who value his several years experience there.
"They are all in the game and wonder what it's like in America," he said of friends and former colleagues back in Europe. "If I am asked my opinion, I'm going to give it to you straight."
That includes, he said, letting head coach Gary Smith and assistant Steve Guppy know that some players up for discussion just wouldn't be suitable for the challenges of MLS.
For now, the 31-year-old will be focusing on getting a regular starting place in central defense for the Rapids and, hopefully, a clear and consistent run in the team. He may change his game a little, but don't expect too much different in his approach.
"I'm going to have to adapt," he said. "But I won't be changing my game too much. If you think I am going to step off, you are wrong. I like a challenge, I'm a tough tackler and I'm always going to be very physical."
